EasyLegacyMotorController is implemented on top of an II2cDeviceClient
instance
which completely handles all the complexities of read vs write mode switching and the
like, allowing the logic inside the controller itself to be extraordinarily simple.
In particular, the manual mode switching and loop() counting necessary with the stock
controller implementation is not needed. Just call the motor getPosition() or setPower()
methods or what have you, and the necessary bookkeeping details will be taken care of.
The improvements in EasyModernMotorController are less dramatic, but still significant. Of particular note is that write operations, including motor mode and power changes, happen immediately rather than being deferred to the end of a loop() cycle. This significantly simplifies the steps that are necessary to create code that uses a modern motor controller reliably.
Easy motor controllers are not tied to SynchronousOpMode or any other particular
OpMode. They can be used, for example, from LinearOpModes. In SynchronousOpMode,
easy motor controllers are used automatically; in other OpModes, you'll have to manually
call createEasyMotorController(com.qualcomm.robotcore.eventloop.opmode.OpMode, com.qualcomm.robotcore.hardware.DcMotor, com.qualcomm.robotcore.hardware.DcMotor)
yourself.

Features of this sensor include a gyro that does rate integration in hardware to provide robust and accurate angular position indications, and a separation of the output of the accelerometer into gravity and linear-motion-induced components.
The driver builds on the linear-acceleration information to provide linear velocity
and position measurements using integration in software. That said, the built-in accelerometer
integration algorithm is quite naive. For a real robot, you'll want to do some investigation
and reading and make a better one, whose use you can indicate using
parameters.accelerationIntegrationAlgorithm
.
Also, while the out-of-box sensor BNO055 works remarkably well, Bosch
describes
a one-time calibration process that will make it even better (see Section 3.11).
Perform this calibration process in the lab. Once you've got the sensor fully
calibrated (or at least the gyro and the accelerometer), extract the configuration
state with IBNO055IMU.readCalibrationData()
. We suggest that you then incorporate
the results as constants in your code, and provide them during OpMode startup in
parameters.calibrationData
where they will automatically be applied.

Amateur MMA fighter dies following injury
by ESPNAn amateur mixed martial arts fighter has died in England after suffering a brain injury during a match.
Saeideh Aletaha, 26, was competing at a Fast and Furious Fight Series (FFS) event in Southampton's Central Hall on Saturday when she was critically injured.
She was taken to hospital following the fight, but died later.
Hampshire Police said it was making inquiries into what happened.
In a statement on Facebook, FFS said: "All competitors get in prepared that they may be injured, and this is something not expected to happen 99.9% of the time.
"But it can, and in this we make the environment as safe as possible with pre and post medicals from a doctor, and full medical cover throughout, with doctor, paramedic and ambulance on site alongside our experienced team of staff."
FFS added its team included "numerous first aiders" and said it had not "skimped" on safety in any of its 19 shows.
Fellow martial artists and friends paid tribute to Aletaha on FFS' Facebook page and that of Exile Gym, where the 26-year-old trained.
A statement on Exile's page read: "Saeideh Aletaha was a lovely character with a beautiful soul. Her dedication to the sport was 110% [and she traveled] miles every day just to train.
"She found her place with us just a few months ago, but has become a part of the family and will be sorely missed. This news comes as a devastating blow to us all at the gym and the whole community."


The NGO staff records the questions to gather the data they will need to make decisions, such as how many people live in a household, if they have enough food, if somebody is injured and how serious. Allowing them to record a custom message and questions not only allows them to record in any language but also makes the device usable by many more people, in particular illiterate, people.
The NGO staff then puts the data on the devices and distributes them in a village, camp or general disaster region.
People listen to the questions, press the appropriate buttons and hand the device over to their neighbors.
The data is sent real-time to the staff’s computer which presents them with an analysis and visualises the data on a map to make decisions about their action plan.
It's easy, £40 will allow us to produce one device, give us a message, this could be your name or a more personalised message, and we'll engrave it on the manufactured device and give it to an NGO in a disaster zone.

The Problem
Practice is a critical part of classical musicians' life. Solo practice is an important way for musicians to improve their technique and reflect on their performance, but that time alone can lead to frustration and discouragement. Group rehearsal, provides musicians with support and motivation, but is hard to coordinate. We seek a solution that helps classical musicians practice, reflect, and coordinate with peers at ease – with only one foot.

Timeline
September 2017 - Present
Musi is a foot-controlled device that allows classical musicians to easily record their practice sessions to share with their peers, instructors, and others in their network. It connects musicians through asynchronous practice and reflection.
Observation and Interviews
We began our formative study by conducting 2-hour observations of the music practice wing at the Earl V. Moore building and interviews with music students. We then conducted 2 structured interviews with an expert in music technology and a graduate student who plays violin. This preliminary study led us to develop several key design questions:
Cultural Probe
Using our key design questions as a guide, we used the method of cultural probes to better understand the values, attitudes, and emotions musicians have towards technological innovations in music. We provided sketch books with instructions as probe prompts to 3 undergraduate music majors. Participants had 5 days to complete the activities at their leisure. Upon collection of the journals, we conducted short debriefing interviews.
Data Analysis and Insights
We created an affinity diagram to derive the key insights from our observation, interviews, and cultural probes.
We found that:
Based on our research insights, we individually sketched 14 concepts and narrowed them down by acceptability in the classical musician community, level of impact, and unobtrusiveness. The mat idea I sketched was selected and turned into our final product
User Enactments
We took this concept back to our target users in the form of user enactments to validate our assumptions and generate more concrete design ideas. We used cardboard and paper to create the mat and buttons. We designed a test script containing 5 different scenarios to obtain user feedback on individual use, group use, and different types of button feedback.
We set up our prototype materials in a music practice room and recruited music students passing by (with 🍪 as incentives). Participants engaged in the enactments individually, with team members taking turns as moderator, note taker, and photographer. Participants were asked to manipulate the prototypes for comfort and ease of interaction: they could adjust the mat’s placement, select buttons they found appropriate for the scenario, and then place the buttons on the mat where they liked.
We derived the following insights from user enactments that informed our final design:
Based on these findings, we decreased the size of our mat and added a screen/speaker part to display sound wave information and deliver high-quality sound. I created a story board for the refined design:
Look and Feel
I was responsible for the look and feel of the physical product. I sketched a series of different fold-able structures and created mood boards to explore different aesthetic directions. Since the classical musician community highly value traditions, we went with a vintage inspired look with wooden texture.
We iterated on the appearance of the product with 3D models. We laser cut the wooden part of the prototype and used vinyl fabric and cupboard liners to make the mat part.
Backend
We used a laptop to act as our primary computation and recording device. We used Waveform Playlist, an open source audio recording tool, to support our recording and playback features as well as to visualize the audio waveforms. We mirrored this graphical user interface onto an iPad, which we placed onto the prototype prism as a way of demonstrating implementation of the Musi screen. We used a Particle Photon to prototype the buttons on the physical device.
Companion App
I prototyped the companion mobile app using Sketch and InVision. Users can interact with the app prototype to experience the full use scenario, but actual syncing of tracks requires the laptop to load playable tracks onto the physical prototype’s GUI.
We tested our design in two contexts. We set up our working prototype in a music practice room and invited music students passing by to record and playback tracks. We also invited attendees at a university design exposition to use our prototype. We were able to identify areas to drive future design work and help us realize an ideal concept.
We reflected on the following aspects after testing the prototype with users:
Thanks for reading this long post. We are iterating on our design and conducting more usability tests to prepare for the presentation at the CHI conference in April, 2018. Stay tuned for more updates!

Tamir Rice's mom, ACLU make kids guide for police encounters
by The Associated Press, StaffCLEVELAND -- The mother of a black 12-year-old fatally shot by a white Cleveland police officer has released a booklet to show children how they should interact with police.
Cleveland.com reports Samaria Rice and the American Civil Liberties Union have created the Tamir Rice Safety Handbook.
The six-page booklet shows children and teenagers how to assert their rights in different scenarios with law enforcement, from being questioned on the way home from school to having officers show up at their homes.
Tamir was playing with a pellet gun outside a Cleveland recreation centre in November 2014 when he was shot by an officer who thought it was an actual firearm.
The officer was cleared of criminal wrongdoing. Tamir's family reached a $6 million settlement with the city in 2016.

Hon'ble Mr. Justice Swatanter Kumar (Chairperson) Hon'ble Mr. Justice Pratap Kumar Ray (Judicial Member) Hon'ble Dr. D.K. Agrawal (Expert Member) Hon'ble Prof. A.R. Yousuf (Expert Member) Hon'ble Dr. R.C.Trivedi (Expert Member) Dated : 25th September, 2014
1. Whether the judgment is allowed to be published on the net?
2. Whether the judgment is allowed to be published in the NGT Reporter?
JUSTICE SWATANTER KUMAR, (CHAIRPERSON) Applicant No. 1 is a registered society while the Applicant No. 2 is its principal convenor. They both claim to have participated in the 'Save Western Ghats March' on several occasions and in various aspects. According to them, they are responsible for certain landmark events in the environmental activism. Both these applicants have approached the Tribunal with the following prayers:
"(i). Direct the Respondents not to issue any consent/Environment Clearance/NOC/Permission under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981, Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 and the Biological Diversity Act, 2002 within the Western Ghats area in respect of areas which have been demarcated as ESZ1 and ESZ2 as mentioned in Para No. 19 above;
5
(ii). Pass such order/s as this Hon'ble Tribunal may feel fit and proper in the facts and circumstance of the case.
(iii). To direct the Respondents to discharge their obligations by exercise of the powers conferred upon them under the respective enactments mentioned in Schedule I of the NGT Act, 2010 for protection and preservation of Western Ghats in the framework as enunciated by the WGEEP in its report dated 31.08.2011."
2. These prayers are founded on the premise that the Western Ghats cover States like Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Nearly 44 districts fall under the eco- sensitive area of the Western Ghats. The areas of Western Ghats have subjected to a rapid erosion of natural capital with the building up of manmade capital, regrettably imposing excessive accepted unnecessary environmental damage in the process, accompanied by a degradation of social capital as well.
3. By relying upon the judgements of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the cases of "T.N. Godavarman Thirumulpad Vs. Union of India & Ors." (2012) 3 SCC 277 and 'M.C. Mehta Vs. Kamal Nath and Ors." (1997) 1 SCC 388 the contention of the Applicant is that applying the settled principles of environmental justice like polluter pays principles, precautionary principle, equity and the public trust Doctrine, it is obligatory upon the states particularly the MoEF to provide protection to the Western Ghats and ensure 6 that activities prejudicial to the ecology and environment of the Western Ghats are not permitted to be carried on in that area.
4. As is evident from the prayers made in this application, the Applicants pray that recommendations made in the report submitted by the WGEEP (in formally called Dr. Gadgil's Report) are to be implemented to protect the Western Ghats in furtherance to its constitutional obligations emerging from Article-14 and 21 read with Article-48 and 51-(A), (g) of the Constitution of India.
5. During the pendency of this application, the MoEF had taken a conscious decision to constitute another High Level Working Group (HLWG) under the Chairmanship of Dr. K. Kasturirangan. This Committee (informally termed Dr. K. Kasturirangan Committee) submitted its report to the MoEF which in turn initially took a decision to accept the said report in principle and proposed a draft notification under section 5 of the Environment(Protection) Act, 1986 (for short, 1986 Act) and invited objections from all stakeholders including the States.
6. Thereafter, the matter remained pending before the MoEF and various applications came to be filed before the National Green Tribunal claiming reliefs dependent upon the acceptance or otherwise of the report submitted by Dr. K. Kasturirangan Committee or even otherwise. The Applicant continued to persist with the prayer that the areas of Western Ghats, which were not included in the Dr. K. Kasturirangan Committee Report and consequently, not covered by the draft notification should still be 7 protected as eco-sensitive zone in the interest of the environment and ecology.
7. We may also notice at this stage that Dr. K. Kasturirangan Committee Report excluded substantial parts of the eco-sensitive area of the Western Ghats, which have been included so in the report of Dr. Gadgil. Certain questions in relation to the jurisdiction of the Tribunal and maintainability of the application, which were raised by the respondents, were treated as preliminary objections and disposed of by a detailed judgment of the Tribunal dated 18.07.2013. During the pendency of the proceedings, it came to light that the stand taken by the MoEF was ambiguous, uncertain and did not provide clarity even in relation to the proceedings pending before the MoEF in exercise of its powers under the Act of 1986. Having provided sufficient time to MoEF to make its stand before the Tribunal clear and the Ministry have failed to do so. In the order dated 25.08.2014, the Tribunal specifically noticed that despite specific directions, MoEF had failed to file appropriate affidavit and a vague affidavit has been presented. On 27.08.2014, it was stated on behalf of the MoEF that it does not wish to process Dr. Gadgil Report and would take subsequent action only in relation to Dr. K. Kasturirangan Report. In furtherance to that report, a draft notification had been issued and objections were being considered by the Ministry. On that date, learned Counsel appearing for the MoEF prayed for time to seek instructions in relation to the implementation thereof. After hearing Counsel for the parties and MoEF still persisting its 8 ambiguity, vide order dated 09.09.2014, the Tribunal passed the following order :-
"Let the Secretary, MoEF shall file a personal Affidavit in relation to the submissions made by the Counsel appearing for the MoEF. In the Affidavit it should be stated whether the areas which are called Eco Sensitive Zone stated in the draft Notification now issued are the areas which shall alone form part of the final Notification and whether the States are at liberty to show any areas, from the notification, can and should be included/excluded, which are not stated in the proposed notification.
In variance to the stand taken by the MoEF earlier on the last date of hearing, the Counsel appearing for MoEF, upon instructions from Mr. Amit Love, Dy. Director, MoEF, has stated that Dr. Kasturirangan Report, in fact has been accepted by the Ministry and the draft notification has been issued in furtherance thereto and the WGEEP is not to be processed by the Ministry any further. In the Affidavit which has been brought before the Tribunal today, again a vague language has been used which suggest that objections may be filed by any person interested on the proposals contained in the draft Notification, including those relating to the area proposed to be brought under the regulation. We may further notice that Press report has been brought to the notice of the Tribunal saying that the MoEF proposes to conduct a new survey on the premises as the two Panels have relied on 9 satellite data to identify No Development Zone, but the survey will find actual situation on the ground and on that basis a decision would be taken.
It is indicated in the report that if the move would mean overriding the previous recommendations and having huge No Development Zone. Before we proceed any further, it will be appropriate that a definite stand is taken by the MoEF. Thus, we direct the Secretary, MoEF to file an Affidavit on this aspect within one week from today.
List this matter for hearing on 22th September, 2014."
8. From the above order, it is clear that unambiguous and clear stand of the MoEF was required to be placed before the Tribunal, before the Tribunal would pass any appropriate order in accordance with law.
9. In furtherance to the above order, Secretary, MoEF filed an affidavit dated 19.09.2014. Usefully, we can make reference to the relevant part of the said affidavit.
"(J). That the Ecologically sensitive area as stated in the draft notification S.O. No. 733(E) dated 10.03.201 forms the basis for demarcation ESA by physical verification by the State Governments of Western Ghats region. The State Governments of Western Ghats region, may after undertaking demarcation of ESA by physical verification, propose the exclusion/inclusion of certain areas from/in the Ecologically Sensitive Area as stated in the draft notification S.O. No. 733(E) dated 10.03.2014. Such 10 proposals of the State Governments received after physical verification, would be examined by the Ministry before taking a view on further appropriate action including inter-alia issuing a fresh draft notification, if required, to seek objections from the public on the proposals received from the State Governments of Western Ghats.
(I). That the Direction issued under Section 5 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, on 13th November, 2013 for providing immediate protection to the Western Ghats and maintain its environmental integrity is in force."
10. We accepted the stand taken by the MoEF in the affidavit filed by the Secretary, MoEF as the clear and unambiguous stand of the Government of India for finally settling this crucial issue which remains pending for years and in fact, pending before this Tribunal since the year 2012.
11. In view of the affidavit filed by the Secretary, MoEF, we are of the considered view that there is no occasion for the Tribunal to keep this main and other applications pending any longer. MoEF is expected to discharge and perform its statutory obligations expeditiously and in accordance with law. According to the affidavit of the Secretary, MoEF particularly the portion as re-produced above, MoEF is considering exclusion/inclusion of certain areas from/in the ecological sensitive areas, as stated in the draft notification dated 10.03.2014. In other words, MoEF has decided to 11 examine all aspects regarding the ecologically sensitive areas before issuing final notification in terms of section 3 of the Act of 1986.
12. Most importantly, it has also been stated in the affidavit that the Ministry is going to take further appropriate action inter-alia issuing fresh draft notification in that behalf.
13. We are of the considered view that it is not for this Tribunal to pass any anticipated orders or to provide any limitations in the exercise of statutory power vested in the Ministry in terms of the Act of 1986. It is for the Ministry to take all the initiatives in relation to defining the eco-sensitive areas in the Western Ghats region and take it to its logical end by issuing final notification. The only pious hope that we express in the order is that the Ministry should act with utmost expeditiousness and ensure that the interests of the States, individuals, and all concerned stakeholders are not jeopardised any longer. The MoEF itself has stated in paragraph-I of its affidavit that directions under section 5 of the Act of 1986 have been issued on 13.11.2013 for providing immediate protection to the Western Ghats to maintain its environmental integrity, which is in force. It will be in the interest of all the stakeholders, including MoEF, that the matters are not further complicated and third party interest are not put into jeopardy that these directions will operate to the entire eco-sensitive area of the Western Ghats and no fresh Environmental Clearance or permissions are issued by the MoEF till it issues the final notification in terms of section-3 of the Act of 1986. 12
14. Thus, it is now exclusively for the MoEF to determine and decide the rival contentions, and the period for which the restrictions as issued by the MoEF in its order dated 13.11.2013 should remain operative. It is the duty expected of the MoEF to maintain the environmental tranquillity and ecology of the areas under consideration, in the condition as they exist today, and not to allow irreversible alteration of the areas in question by granting Environmental Clearance or permitting activities which would have an adverse impact on the eco-sensitive areas.
15. We may also notice that on behalf of the State of Kerala, it was specifically contended before us that they have already submitted not only their objections but even their physical measurements of the area that could be declared as "eco-sensitive area" and the matter is pending with the MoEF now for a considerable time. All that we can direct is that this matter should also be dealt with by the MoEF with utmost expeditiousness. It will be obviously open to the MoEF to declare the ecologically sensitive areas, State-wise or collectively, for the entire Western Ghats which is relatable to all six the states afore-indicated.
16. Thus, with the above directions, we dispose of the main Application No. 26 of 2012 while leaving the parties to bear their own costs.
M.A. Nos. 868/2013, 47/2014 and 291/2014 In view of the fact that we have disposed of the main application, all these miscellaneous applications have render 13 infructuous and are disposed of as such. We make it clear that this order is without prejudice to the rights and contentions of the parties concerned.
M.A. Nos. 868/2013, 47/2014 and 291/2014 stand disposed of accordingly.

14 At this stage, all the Learned Counsel appearing for the parties submit that they may be granted liberty to approach the Tribunal, if there is an occasion for seeking any clarification or further directions in consonance with the judgment of the Tribunal.
Liberty granted.

The following LLVM buildbots build and test LLDB trunk:
Continuous Integraton
Building LLDB on Mac OS X
Building on Mac OS X is as easy as downloading the code and building the Xcode project or workspace:
Preliminaries
- XCode 4.3 or newer requires the "Command Line Tools" component (XCode->Preferences->Downloads->Components).
- Mac OS X Lion or newer requires installing Swig.
Building LLDB
- Download the lldb sources.
- Follow the code signing instructions in lldb/docs/code-signing.txt
- In Xcode 3.x: lldb/lldb.xcodeproj, select the lldb-tool target, and build.
- In Xcode 4.x: lldb/lldb.xcworkspace, select the lldb-tool scheme, and build.
Building LLDB on Linux and FreeBSD
This document describes the steps needed to compile LLDB on most Linux systems, and FreeBSD.
Preliminaries
LLDB relies on many of the technologies developed by the larger LLVM project. In particular, it requires both Clang and LLVM itself in order to build. Due to this tight integration the Getting Started guides for both of these projects come as prerequisite reading:
Supported compilers for building LLDB on Linux include:
- Clang 3.2
- GCC 4.6.2 (later versions should work as well)
It is recommended to use libstdc++ 4.6 (or higher) to build LLDB on Linux, but using libc++ is also known to work.
On FreeBSD the base system Clang and libc++ may be used to build LLDB, or the GCC port or package.
In addition to any dependencies required by LLVM and Clang, LLDB needs a few development packages that may also need to be installed depending on your system. The current list of dependencies are:
So for example, on a Fedora system one might run:
> yum install swig python-devel libedit-devel
On an Ubuntu system one might run:
> sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion swig python-dev libedit-dev
On FreeBSD one might run:
> pkg install swig python
If you wish to build the optional reference documentation, additional dependencies are required:
- Graphviz (for the 'dot' tool).
- doxygen (only if you wish to build the C++ API reference)
- epydoc (only if you wish to build the Python API reference)
To install the prerequisites for building the documentation (on Ubuntu) do:
> sudo apt-get install doxygen graphviz
> sudo pip install epydoc
Building LLDB
We first need to checkout the source trees into the appropriate locations. Both Clang and LLDB build as subprojects of LLVM. This means we will be checking out the source for both Clang and LLDB into the tools subdirectory of LLVM. We will be setting up a directory hierarchy looking something like this:
llvm | `-- tools | +-- clang | `-- lldb
For reference, we will call the root of the LLVM project tree $llvm, and the roots of the Clang and LLDB source trees $clang and $lldb respectively.
Change to the directory where you want to do development work and checkout LLVM:
> svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk llvm
Now switch to LLVM’s tools subdirectory and checkout both Clang and LLDB:
> cd $llvm/tools
> svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/cfe/trunk clang
> svn co http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/lldb/trunk lldb
In general, building the LLDB trunk revision requires trunk revisions of both LLVM and Clang.
It is highly recommended that you build the system out of tree. Create a second build directory and configure the LLVM project tree to your specifications as outlined in LLVM’s Getting Started Guide. A typical build procedure might be:
> cd $llvm/..
> mkdir build
> cd build
To build with CMake
Using CMake is documented on the Building LLVM with CMake page. Building LLDB is possible using one of the following generators:
- Ninja
- Unix Makefiles
Using CMake + Ninja
Ninja is the fastest way to build LLDB! In order to use ninja, you need to have recent versions of CMake and ninja on your system. To build using ninja:
> cmake .. -G Ninja
> ninja lldb
> ninja check-lldb
Using CMake + Unix Makefiles
If you do not have Ninja, you can still use CMake to generate Unix Makefiles that build LLDB:
> cmake ..
> make
> make check-lldb
To build with autoconf
If you do not have CMake, it is still possible to build LLDB using the autoconf build system. If you are using Clang or GCC 4.7+, run:
> $llvm/configure --enable-cxx11
> make
Or, if you are using a version of GCC that does not support the -std=c++11 option:
> $llvm/configure
> make CXXFLAGS=-std=c++0x
If you are building with a GCC that isn't the default gcc/g++, like gcc-4.7/g++-4.7
> $llvm/configure --enable-cxx11 CC=gcc-4.7 CXX=g++-4.7
> make CC=gcc-4.7 CXX=g++-4.7
If you are running in a system that doesn't have a lot of RAM (less than 4GB), you might want to disable debug symbols by specifying DEBUG_SYMBOLS=0 when running make. You will know if you need to enable this because you will fail to link clang (the linker will get a SIGKILL and exit with status 9).
> make DEBUG_SYMBOLS=0
To run the LLDB test suite, run:
> make -C tools/lldb/test
Note that once both LLVM and Clang have been configured and built it is not necessary to perform a top-level make to rebuild changes made only to LLDB. You can run make from the build/tools/lldb subdirectory as well.
If you wish to build with libc++ instead of libstdc++ (the default), run configure with the --enable-libcpp flag.
If you wish to build a release version of LLDB, run configure with the --enable-optimized flag.
Testing
By default, the check-lldb target builds the 64-bit variants of the test programs with the same compiler that was used to build LLDB. It is possible to customize the architecture and compiler by appending -A and -C options respectively to the CMake variable LLDB_TEST_ARGS. For example, to test LLDB against 32-bit binaries built with a custom version of clang, do:
> cmake -DLLDB_TEST_ARGS="-A i386 -C /path/to/custom/clang" -G Ninja
> ninja check-lldb
Note that multiple -A and -C flags can be specified to LLDB_TEST_ARGS.
In addition to running all the LLDB test suites with the "check-lldb" CMake target above, it is possible to run individual LLDB tests. For example, to run the test cases defined in TestInferiorCrashing.py, run:
> cd $lldb/test
> python dotest.py --executable <path-to-lldb> -p TestInferiorCrashing.py
In addition to running a test by name, it is also possible to specify a directory path to dotest.py in order to run all the tests under that directory. For example, to run all the tests under the 'functionalities/data-formatter' directory, run:
> python dotest.py --executable <path-to-lldb> functionalities/data-formatter
To dump additional information to stdout about how the test harness is driving LLDB, run dotest.py with the -t flag. Many more options that are available. To see a list of all of them, run:
> python dotest.py -h
Building API reference documentation
LLDB exposes a C++ as well as a Python API. To build the reference documentation for these two APIs, ensure you have the required dependencies installed, and build the lldb-python-doc and lldb-cpp-doc CMake targets.
The output HTML reference documentation can be found in <build-dir>/tools/lldb/docs/.
Additional Notes
LLDB has a Python scripting capability and supplies its own Python module named lldb. If a script is run inside the command line lldb application, the Python module is made available automatically. However, if a script is to be run by a Python interpreter outside the command line application, the PYTHONPATH environment variable can be used to let the Python interpreter find the lldb module.
The correct path can be obtained by invoking the command line lldb tool with the -P flag:
> export PYTHONPATH=`$llvm/build/Debug+Asserts/bin/lldb -P`
If you used a different build directory or made a release build, you may need to adjust the above to suit your needs. To test that the lldb Python module is built correctly and is available to the default Python interpreter, run:
> python -c 'import lldb'


In terms of particle variables (x,v), it is straightforward to calculate the moment of the distribution function. For example, the number density n(x) is given by
|
| (238) |
However, it is a little diﬃcult to calculate n(x) at real space location x by using the guiding-center variables (X,v). This is because holding x constant and changing v, which is required by the integration in Eq. (238), means the guiding-center variable X is changing according to Eq. (8). Using Eq. (15), expression (238) is written as
|
| (239) |
As is mentioned above, the dv integration in Eq. (239) should be performed by holding x constant and changing v, which means the guiding-center variable X = X(x,v) is changing. This means that, in (X,v) space, the above integration is a (generalized) curve integral along the the curve X(v) = x −ρ(x,v) with x being constant. Treating X and x as independent variables and using the Dirac delta function δ, this curve integral can be written as the following double integration over the independent variables X and v:
|
| (240) |
Another perspective of interpreting Eq. (240) is that we are ﬁrst using the transformation (235) to transform fg to fp and then integrating fp in the velocity space.

Mobile operators need to learn from the IT industry: "Mobile operators are increasingly targeting business customers, though corporate data solution offerings are not what could be termed comprehensive. Although they are all trying to move up the value chain, they simply don't have the necessary skills to do this effectively and are left competing purely on price"
On the subject of this... whatever happened to 3's business offerings? I remember when they first launched there was a section on their web site about upcoming services, but haven't heard a thing since...

Lime makes your fertilizer dollars go farther, because the plants have less ability to make use of fertilizer if there’s a low soil pH. Lime raises soil pH.
If you are unsure whether your field needs lime, soil sampling is the best way to find out. Virginia Tech Soil Testing Lab offers free soil samples for commercial farmers, and charges a nominal fee for others.
You can pick up soil sample boxes and informational sheets at your local Virginia Cooperative Extension office, or . andThe frequency you'll need to apply lime depends on several factors including fertilizer, runoff and cropping intensity. The more crops or livestock are grown on a field, the more quickly it becomes acidic.
Lime can be applied any time of year that the ground will support the heavy trucks. It can take 45-60 days for lime to correct the pH of a field, so ideally you. But the best time to Avoid the busy season by calling us in the summer for hay and pasture land.

Chuck Norris Tribute Page
About Chuck Norris
Carlos Ray "Chuck" Norris (born March 10, 1940) is an American martial artist, actor, film producer and screenwriter. After serving in the United States Air Force, Norris won many martial arts championships and later founded his own discipline, Chun Kuk Do. Norris is a black belt in Tang Soo Do, Brazilian jiu jitsu and Judo.[2] Shortly after, in Hollywood, Norris trained celebrities in martial arts. Norris went on to appear in a minor role in the spy film The Wrecking Crew (1969). Friend and fellow actor Bruce Lee invited him to play one of the main villains in Way of the Dragon (1972). While Norris continued acting, friend and student Steve McQueen suggested to him that he take it seriously. Norris took the starring role in the action film Breaker! Breaker! (1977) which turned a profit. His second lead Good Guys Wear Black (1978) became a hit, and Norris became a popular action film star.
Norris would go on to star in a streak of bankable independently-made action and martial arts films, with A Force of One (1979), The Octagon (1980), and An Eye for an Eye (1981). This made Norris an international celebrity. He went on to make studio films like Silent Rage (1982) with Columbia, Forced Vengeance (1982) with MGM, and Lone Wolf McQuade (1983) with Orion. This led Cannon films to sign Norris into a multiple film deal, starting with Missing in Action (1984), which proved to be very successful and launched a trilogy. Norris started to work almost exclusively on high-profile action films with Cannon, becoming their leading star during the 1980s. Films with Cannon included Invasion U.S.A (1985), The Delta Force (1986), Firewalker (1986), etc. Apart from the Cannon films, Norris made Code of Silence (1985), which was received as one of his best films. In the 1990s, he played the title role in the long running television series Walker, Texas Ranger, from 1993 until 2001. Until 2006, Norris continued taking lead roles in action movies, including Delta Force 2 (1990), The Hitman (1991), Sidekicks (1992), Forest Warrior (1996), The President's Man and its sequel (2002). Norris made his last film appearance to date in Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables 2 (2012). My favourite Chuck movies are:
- Logan's War: Bound by Honor
- Walker, Texas Ranger
- The President's Man 1-2
While in the military, Norris's rank units were Airman First Class, 15th Air Force, 22d Bombardment Group, and 452d Troop Carrier Wing. Norris has received many black belts. These include a 10th degree black belt in Chun Kuk Do, a 9th degree black belt in Tang Soo Do, an 8th degree black belt in Taekwondo, a 5th degree black belt in Karate, a 3rd degree black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu from the Machado family, and a black belt in Judo.

‘Thought it was fake news...’: Singhvi on BJP-NCP forming govt in Maha
The month-long political impasse ended dramatically with Devendra Fadnavis returning as CM again, backed by Pawar-led NCP.
by PTINew Delhi: Senior Congress leader Abhishek Singhvi on Saturday expressed surprise at the political developments in Maharashtra and said the Congress-NCP-Shiv Sena negotiations took too long as the window was grabbed by "fast movers".
The month-long political impasse ended dramatically with Devendra Fadnavis returning as the chief minister again, backed by the Sharad Pawar-led NCP. The NCP leader Ajit Pawar was sworn-in as the deputy chief minister at the Raj Bhavan.
"Surreal what I read about Maharashtra. Thought it was fake news. Candidly and personally speaking, our tripartite negotiations should not have gone on for more than 3 days...took too long. Window given was grabbed by fast movers. Pawarji tussi great ho," Singhvi tweeted.

CSS Selectors
Attribute Selectors
Attribute selectors let you select elements based on the presence of an attribute or
based on the value of an attribute. The syntax is square brackets, [], with the suitable
attribute inside. There are several variations that you can use to make matches:
- [attribute] will select all elements with an attribute present; example, [href]
- [attribute=value] will select all elements with an attribute with an exact value;example, [lang="en"]
- [attribute^=value] will select all elements with an attribute with a value that begins with the matching value; for example, [href^="https://"]
- [attribute$=value] will select elements with an attribute with a value that ends with the matching value; for example, [href$=".com"]
- [attribute*=valule] will select elements with an attribute with a value that has a match somewhere in the string; for example, [href*="co.uk"]
Pseudo-classes
To select an element when it is in a particular state, we have several pseudo-classes
defined. The syntax of a pseudo-class is a colon, :, followed by a keyword.
- When an anchor element has an href attribute, it will have the :link pseudo class applied to it
- When a user hovers over the link, the :hover pseudo-class is applied to it.
- When the link has been visited, it has the :visited pseudo-class applied to it.
- When the link is being clicked, it has the :active pseudo-class applied to it
- :first-child
- :last-child
- :nth-child
- :nth-last-child
- :first-of-type
- :last-of-type
- :nth-of-type
- :nth-last-of-type.
Pseudo-elements
Pseudo-element selectors are preceded by two colons (::) and they are used to select part of an element. The available pseudo-elements include
- ::after
- ::before
- ::firstletter
- ::first-line
- ::selection
- ::backdrop.


U.S. ambassador to EU saw quid-pro-quo in call for Ukraine corruption probe: excerpts
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Congressional Democrats on Tuesday released testimony by two of the “three amigos” who ran Ukraine policy for President Donald Trump, including revised testimony in which one American diplomat acknowledged U.S. aid was used as leverage to push Kiev to investigate one of Trump’s political rivals.
Excerpts of closed-door testimony by U.S. Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland in the impeachment probe of Trump showed Sondland had revised his testimony to say that by September he had come to view a suspension of U.S. security aid to Kiev as being held up as leverage to get Ukraine to commit publicly to a probe of former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.

Flooding misery continues with over 100 alerts in place across England
Communities across England are still facing days of flooding, with more than 100 alerts in place.
The misery could continue until Tuesday, despite the fact heavy rain is not predicted in the worst hit areas.
An extremely wet autumn has led to the ground becoming waterlogged, meaning it is very sensitive to any extra rainfall.
The Environment Agency has 64 live flood warnings, where flooding is expected and ‘immediate action is required’.
Additionally, it has issued 95 lower category alerts where flooding is possible and people should be prepared.
Rivers expected to burst their banks include the Severn and the Trent.
Warnings had already been issued along the Severn, which burst and led to widespread flooding in Worcester, Tewkesbury and Shrewsbury.

Towns in Yorkshire have been among the worst hit, with the village of Fishlake near Doncaster largely submerged with roads cut off.
Meteorologist Sophie Yeomans said there would be some respite from the heavy rain, saying: ‘There is some rainfall around, but it’s looking light and patchy.
‘Sunday has the highest risk of rainfall, but the start of next week is looking quite dry.
‘There’s light cloud and rain around in some of the areas in the north of England and also down in Shropshire and the West Midlands.
‘But there’s no long-lasting or heavy rain – it’s a good situation.’
In a forecast of the flooding risk in England and Wales, the Environment Agency said: ‘River flooding is expected to continue in the Lower River Don washlands area in South Yorkshire through to at least Tuesday, where properties will continue to flood and there will be continued travel disruption.’
The Met Office said its Sheffield weather station has recorded its wettest ever autumn.
It tweeted: ‘With 15 days still to go, the site has already recorded 427.6 mm of #rain. The previous record was set in 2000 with 425.2 mm of rain falling between September 1 and November 30 that year.’

There is also a ‘risk of seeing a very cold start’ on Tuesday, according to Ms Yeomans, with potential temperatures of minus 5C.

Porting¶
Integrated Oberon is a self-contained development environment capable of re-creating from its source code all its own executable binary files and of upgrading itself in-place.
However IO currently lacks source code revision control and tools for project coordination and OS virtualization.
Currently an IO developer uses a host OS such as Linux, Mac or Windows to check in and check out code and to build Integrated Oberon disk images.
Process¶
The development cycle is as follows:
Check out the source code from https://github.com/io-core/io, including subrepositories
Check out additional non-core repositories for additional desired (perhaps private) modules
Edit the source code of a module (or create one)
Edit the startup script to include invoking the compiler to compile the module file
Execute a batch script on the host which creates an IO disk image including the source and the startup script
Observe any compiler errors, goto step 3
Exercise the module within the emulator, observe any undesired behavior or runtime errors, goto step 3
add the changed files to revision control, with appripriate commit messages
push changes or make pull requests for the changes as appropriate
Tasks¶
Integrated Oberon needs three things to run on a new platform:
A Compiler Target
A Boot Shim
A Hardware Abstraction Layer
Device Drivers
Some of these may already exist for an intended target platform.
Make a Compiler Target¶
The Integrated Oberon compiler ‘OXP’ can create module binaries for the following architectures via a flag:
/r RISC5
/I x86_64 (very limited functionality)
/A aarch64 (very limited functionality)
/a arm 32 (very limited functionality)
/V riscv64 (very limited functionality)
/v riscv32 (very limited functionality)
Support for additinal architectures can be added by modifying OXG.Mod and OXX.Mod in the Build package and may require changes in other core Oberon packages.
Create a Boot Shim¶
Each hardware platform expects an operating system to conform to that platform’s expectations of a bootable OS image. Modern PCs expect a PE+ UEFI file placed in a specific location on a FAT32 volume for example, while phones, tablets, and IOT devices often expect an ELF file at a specific sector location or a pure binary executable image placed in flash at a memory offset.
IO prepends a boot shim conforming to these expectations in front of the actual Integrated Oberon HAL and core modules. This boot shim should be very small and should do the least amount of work possible to pass execution and some configuration settings to the HAL.
The boot shim may be coded in Oberon or may not be necessary but often will be written in the assembly language of the platform and assembled outside of Oberon.
An OS may also host Integrated Oberon as a userspace application, in which the boot shim may be a C program using host OS libraries to provide storage, memory, a framebuffer, etc. to Oberon. In addition, the shim may provide a bridge between host OS command invocation and an executing Oberon subsystem, for example by presenting Oberon as the interpreter for compiled Oberon modules, e.g. #!/usr/bin/env Oberon, with the Oberon ‘interpreters’ coordinating a single application interpreting all modules via unix FIFOs.
Make a Hardware Abstraction Layer¶
Each platform will have unique devices, arrangements of devices, io register locations, initialization methods, etc. that may be abstracted over for starting the system and providing low-level facilities needed by the OS. Each platform will have a module that implements for its HAL the following:
Memory Map Page Table initialization and operation, if necessary
Initialization of essential run-time structures for the heap, stack, and module space
Population of a system configuration data structure from bootloader provided system configuration data
Interrupt table initialization and modification
An initial serial device if present
An initial video frame buffer if present
A timer if present
A means for enumerating dynamic busses with puggable bus drivers (e.g. pci and usb)
Write Device Drivers¶
Each platform may have unique devices requiring specific device drivers. Integrated Oberon needs at least the following:
Serial
Keyboard and Mouse
Video
Block Storage Device
Network


Strengthening Resilience: It’s Easier Than You Think
4 Easy Ways to Bounce Back
by Cara de LangeHave you been feeling overworked or overwhelmed for a while?
Are you struggling with life’s daily stresses?
Does even the smallest thing send you into a spin?
You are not alone! An estimated 450 million people suffer from stress and poor mental wellbeing every day! But for some people it’s harder to bounce back from stressful situations than it is for others. Why is that? Why are some people more resilient than others? And what is resilience?
According to the American Psychological Association – Resilience is the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, threats or significant sources of stress— such as family and relationship problems, serious health problems or workplace and financial stressors.
It means “bouncing back” from difficult experiences.
Doing the prep and research for a workshop I’m doing on ‘Strengthening Resilience’ for the ‘A List London’ later this month really got me exploring why some people are more resilient than others.
According to the World Health Organization Resilience report in 2017 a combination of factors contributes to resilience. Many studies show that the primary factor in resilience is having caring and supportive relationships within and outside the family. Relationships that create love and trust, provide role models and offer encouragement and reassurance help bolster a person’s resilience.
Several additional factors are associated with resilience, including:
Developing resilience is a personal journey. People don’t all react the same way to traumatic and stressful life events. An approach to building resilience that works for one person might not work for another. People use varying strategies to cope.
Personally, I haven’t always been resilient. I’ve built up my resilience over the years. Take burnout or a family problem for instance. For years I would struggle to let go or beat myself up if there was any conflict at all. Now I practise my own meditation on letting go and I’m able to easily step back. These days I allow myself to ‘feel’ and to express emotions. I book out some time for myself and do what I feel I need to do to let out the emotions and learn.
What about you?
Here are a few tips on how to strengthen your resilience.
Learn from a previous situation
People often learn something about themselves and may find that they have grown in some respect as a result of their struggle with loss. People who have experienced tragedies and hardship have often reported better relationships, a greater sense of strength even while feeling vulnerable, increased sense of self-worth, a more developed spirituality and heightened appreciation for life.
Accept things as they are
Certain goals may no longer be attainable as a result of adverse situations. Accepting circumstances that cannot be changed can help you focus on those that you can change.
Allow yourself to ‘grieve’
Book some time out for yourself to ‘feel’ your emotions. When faced with adversity many people shut down or continue on without allowing themselves to ‘feel’ what they are going through
Take small positive steps to move on and move forward
Being consistent is key here. There will be good days and bad days but taking small steps every day will help you make significant changes.
Wishing you best of luck!!

Last weekend, I read and summarized zmalloc.c which provides basic memory allocation mechanisms of Redis. In this weekend, I explored sds.c which implements many functions to manage a dynamic string efficiently; in fact, “sds” stands for Simple Dynamic String. This post describes a core of sds implementations. The version of Redis is 3.0.5. I put some comments on following code snippets.
sds is just a char pointer with hidden header
As well as zmalloc family, sds implicitly keeps track of available size and length of string by placing them on its (hidden) prefix. Actually, sds is defined as a char pointer:
// sds.h:39
typedef char *sds;
The prefix of sds contains a length of string and remaining allocated memory. They are packed to sdshdr:
// sds.h:41
struct sdshdr {
unsigned int len;
unsigned int free;
char buf[]; // sds
};
and this is the core data structure of sds. Most part of sds.c implements basic string functions such as copy, concatenation, capitalization and even string formatting for sds because standard string functions are unavailable.
Instantiation and extension of sds
Here, I introduce two important functions out of over thirty in sds.c. The first function is sdsnewlen which creates new sds from a given string:
// sds.c:51
sds sdsnewlen(const void *init, size_t initlen) {
struct sdshdr *sh;
// memory allocation
if (init) {
sh = zmalloc(sizeof(struct sdshdr)+initlen+1);
} else {
sh = zcalloc(sizeof(struct sdshdr)+initlen+1);
}
if (sh == NULL) return NULL;
// store sizes
sh->len = initlen;
sh->free = 0;
// copy given string
if (initlen && init)
memcpy(sh->buf, init, initlen);
sh->buf[initlen] = '\0';
return (char*)sh->buf;
}
It allocates a memory block for sdshdr at first. Actual size depends on a back-end malloc implementation for zmalloc and a CPU architecture. If the back-end is libc malloc and the architecture is 64-bit, it consumes 16 bytes for the whole prefix.
The second function is sdsMakeRoomFor which ensures that a sds has at least addlen free memory for future string addition by extending memory if necessary:
// sds.c:129
sds sdsMakeRoomFor(sds s, size_t addlen) {
struct sdshdr *sh, *newsh;
size_t free = sdsavail(s); // `free` value of sdshdr
size_t len, newlen;
// return original sds if it has enough free space
if (free >= addlen) return s;
// calculate new length
len = sdslen(s);
sh = (void*) (s-(sizeof(struct sdshdr)));
newlen = (len+addlen);
if (newlen < SDS_MAX_PREALLOC)
newlen *= 2;
else
newlen += SDS_MAX_PREALLOC;
// reallocate memory
newsh = zrealloc(sh, sizeof(struct sdshdr)+newlen+1);
if (newsh == NULL) return NULL;
newsh->free = newlen - len;
return newsh->buf;
}
This function allocates twice as much memory as the minimum capacity where a string with addlen size can be added but the additional size of this pre-allocation is bounded by SDS_MAX_PREALLOC (1MB). Then, it reallocates the memory of sds by zrealloc. For all I know, zrealloc can return brand new memory block when it cannot extend the original block. Thus, all references to the original sds must be replaced by the return value.
Other functions
Other functions in sds.c would be easy-to-read with above basic knowledge for sds though sdscatfmt for formatting and sdssplitargs for splitting a string like function arguments are little bit long and tricky.
