The size of the image below is 260 pixels in the X (across the screen/width) direction and is 140 pixels in the Y (up and down/height) direction.
Usually the width (X) is first, then the height (Y).
Sometimes this is shown as:
The x between the two numbers is different than the X meaning width. The size of the x is not consistent, so the place of the x is what is important for the meaning.
Notes:
It is possible to "scale" this image by changing the width. The width in this image was set to 500. Notice that the height didn't change.
Notes:
Scaling can be performed using the following:
The following image is part of the original image above and shows 40 by 50 pixels.
Here is what the pixels look like if they are shown larger. So the pixels are the small squares. Televisions and phones have pixels, but they can be very small.
How many colors are in one pixel?
See Edit using Gimp for viewing and drawing on images.
In Gimp, open file "1-pets.jpg" and use View/Zoom and select something like 4:1 or 400% to see something like this image. The zoom feature does not change the image, it only changes the display.
Colors for programming are created using light from 3 colors. The three colors are red, blue and green. Each color can be a different brightness.
There are many ways to represent the brightness in programs. The Inkscape program has a nice way to represent colors in their Fill and Stroke paint windows. The Gimp program has a window accessed from the Windows/Dockable Dialogs/Colors menu.
Some programs show their color using hexidecimal numbers. Here is how the first numbers relate.
| Decimal | Hexidecimal |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 2 |
| 3 | 3 |
| 4 | 4 |
| 5 | 5 |
| 6 | 6 |
| 7 | 7 |
| 8 | 8 |
| 9 | 9 |
| a | 10 |
| b | 11 |
| c | 12 |
| d | 13 |
| e | 14 |
| f | 15 |
| 10 | 16 |
| 11 | 17 |
| 12 | 18 |
There is a formula to convert decimal to hexidecimal. Multiply the first character by 16, and add the second character.
| decimal | Calculation | hexidecimal |
|---|---|---|
| 46 | (4 * 16) + 6 | 70 |
| 80 | (8 * 16) + 0 | 128 |
| c0 | (c=12 * 16) + 0 | 192 |
| ff | (f=15 * 16) + f=15 | 255 |
Some examples of colors are shown here in hexadecimal.
Note that the first two characters are ff, then the color is the brightest red.
The higher the first two characters are, the more red there is.
When the last two characters are ff, then the color is the most intense blue.
Many programs have what is called an alpha layer or opacity. This is used for images show the background in parts of the image. This is very important for animation, which is displaying different images to show movement.
The following image shows the background (white) behind the girl and bird.
The following image shows the background (blue) behind the girl and bird, but notices that the girl eye color is still white.
Many images can be placed in one rectangular area. The rectangular areas are often larger than the image sizes so that many images can fit into the area.
The following scene is 80 pixels by 50 pixels. In programming, counting starts at 0 instead of 1. So instead of:
The programs here all use position 0 X and 0 Y to mean the top left corner. So the green dot is at position (sometimes called coordinate) 0, 0. The red box is an image of size 4 x 3, and is at position 4, 11. The blue dot is at 79, 2. Notice again that starting counting at zero means that the last position is the size of the scene (80) minus 1 = 79.
To move the red image to the left, make the X position smaller, so moving to position 0, 11 would move all the way to the left side of the scene. Moving the X to 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, would move the red image smoothly to each point and look like the image was moving smoothly to all of the positions. Many of the game demos show this type of movement.


Set the labels for each depth: [' building', ' floor', ' section', ' block']
- 1Depth : node's text + " building"
- 2Depth : node's text + " floor"
- 3Depth : node's text + " section"
- 4Depth : node's text + " block"
The label is automatically appended when a tree node is created.

The Basics of the Web and HTML
The worldwide web is made up of HTML documents that are processed and communicated via computers. The HTML documents are what glue evertything together and form the basis of the web. Hyperlinks link everything; making the web weblike.
The way the process starts is, an individual goes to a webpage by sending an HTTP request to a server via a computer.
The server then searches for the appropriate html document and sends it back to the user's page where the web browser
interprets the information into a form that can be seen on the user's screen.
HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language)
As mentioned before, these documents make up the heart of the web. HTML consists of:
-Text context (what you see)
-Markup (what the information will look like)
-References to other documents (i.e. images and videos)
-Links to other pages
HTML Markup: are made up of tags using the less than and greater than symbols and contribute to the aesthetics and functionality of content.
There are multiple uses for markups. For the most part, HTML markups contain an opening tag , the content is then written after the opening tag, and is followed by a closing tag. This whole expression is called an element.
You can put content in bold, italics; create links for additional content; and divide sentence structures. You can also nest multiple markups with each other.
That said, because computers do not have the flexibility as humans, the commands and element markups must be precise; otherwise mistakes can produce huge programming issues. Being familiar with whitespace and inline vs. block elements can help demonstrate how the markup language must be literal.
Inline vs. Block Elements
White space consists of the characters that represent horizontal or vertical space in typography. HTML elements are all found in the white space and because the typography is represented in either a horizontal or vertical space,
HTML elements are either inline ( in the same horizontal thred) or block ( can shift and stay within it's own vertical block space).

@Deleted User actually Ill just buy DGX tokens if I want to buy gold
Founded in Singapore in Dec 2014, DigixDAO (DGD) is building a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) that specializes in the tokenization of physical assets. The project provides the infrastructure to create tokens backed by physical assets on the blockchain. To wit, it allows for the public verification of an asset’s existence through its chain of custody via its Proof of Provenance (PoP) protocol, which makes use of the Ethereum network and the Interplanetary File System (IPFS).
Digix also offers an API that enables other applications to be built on top of its asset tokenization service.
Digix has 2 cryptocurrencies, Digix Gold (DGX) and DigixDAO (DGD).
The company reportedly procures its gold from LBMA-approved refiners. For security, Digix includes third-party auditing from Bureau Veritas. The DGD crowdsale in Mar 2016 was the first crowdsale and major DAO hosted on the Ethereum network.

Britain’s Corbyn attacks corporate ‘cheat culture’
LONDON, Nov 23 — Britain’s main opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn denounced the “tax and wage cheat culture” of multinational companies on Saturday in an election rally outside an Amazon depot.
Corbyn met workers at the depot in the northern English city of Sheffield ahead of the December 12 election, which pits his Labour party against Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s governing Conservatives.
“I came to Amazon today with a simple message for multinational businesses: If you sell goods in our country, you should pay taxes in our country, not hide profits in tax havens,” Corbyn said on Twitter.
The veteran socialist has vowed to stop multinational companies moving their tax bills offshore to “lower tax regimes” with measures to force them to pay taxes on all their operations in Britain.
Labour expects the measures to raise £6.3 billion ($8.1 billion) in 2023-2024 to help pay for its manifesto plans to nationalise key utilities.
A spokesman for online giant Amazon said tax-dodging claims about Amazon were false, adding that Amazon had invested more than £18 billion since 2010 in creating jobs and infrastructure.
“This investment helped contribute to a total tax contribution of £793 million during 2018,” the spokesman said.
“This year we announced plans to create 2,000 new jobs in the UK, taking our total workforce to over 29,500.” — AFP

We are never averse to a spot of unbridled Roman Catholic Mariolatry here at Hooting Yard, so here is a snap of the BVM. The provenance of this statue? Throughout my childhood, she stood in our back garden, in the shelter of a grotto, what you heathens would probably call a rockery. Truly it was like growing up in Lourdes, or the Essex council estate equivalent thereof. She later spent many years watching over my father's grave in Ansdell Cemetery in Lancashire. Weatherbeaten and distressed, she returned south late in the last century, and has since resided safely indoors with Mr Key.


Glyphyicons
Glyphyicons are symbols or icons that are included in Bootstrap. The way you include them in your html is simple:
- Use a span tag with the following class = "glyphicon glyphicon-heart"
- The first class of "glyphicon" is the base class, it tells the span class that you will be using an icon
- The second class (ex: glyphicon-heart) points to the specific icon you want to use, in this example, the heart icon
- You can see the entire glyphicon library on the bootstrap website.

This white chocolate wedding cake is a chocoholic's dream! For this recipe you’ll need a 23cm/9in round cake tin and board and a 15cm/6in round cake tin and board. You will also need four dowelling rods and four cake pillars (available from specialist cake shops).
Preheat the oven to 170C/325F/Gas 3. Grease and line the 23cm/9in cake tin and 15cm/6in cake tin.
Cream the butter and sugar together in a bowl until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs, one at a time, until well combined.
Fold in the flour and cocoa powder, then stir in the melted chocolate until well combined.
Divide the mixture among the prepared cake tins.
Bake the 23cm/9in cake for 1 hour-1 hour 15minutes and the 15cm/6in cake for 45 minutes or until the cakes are golden-brown and a skewer inserted into the centre of the cakes comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and set aside to cool, then carefully remove them from the tins and allow to cool completely.
Meanwhile for the white chocolate buttercream, cream the butter, vanilla and icing sugar together in a bowl until light and fluffy. Stir in the melted chocolate.
For the dark chocolate buttercream, repeat the method for the white chocolate buttercream.
For the ganache, heat the double cream in a saucepan until just boiling, then remove from the heat. Pour the cream over the chopped chocolate and stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Set aside to cool slightly, or until the mixture has thickened.
Carefully cut each cake in half horizontally and fill with the dark chocolate buttercream. Spread a teaspoon of buttercream onto each cake board and place the cakes onto them.
Spread the white chocolate buttercream over the top and sides of each cake until covered. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes, or until the icing has set.
Spread the ganache over each cake with a palette knife, trying to make it as smooth as possible. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes, or until the icing has set.
To stack the cakes, hold a dowelling rod at the side of the 23cm/9in cake and mark with a pencil where the icing comes to. Cut the rod and three others to the same length. Push the rods into the cake about 5cm/2in away from the sides, to form the four corners of a square in the centre of the cake. Place the pillars on top of the largest cake, positioning each one over a dowelling rod, then top with the 15cm/6in cake. Decorate with fresh flowers.

Record number of NYC high school grads are heading to college
by Rich CalderMore city public high school graduates are heading to college than ever with nearly two-thirds heading to college, Mayor de Bill Blasio announced Tuesday.
A record 48,782 high school graduates in 2018 — 62 percent of the class — are heading to higher education, DOE stats show.
“This idea would have been considered impossible not so long ago in New York City, but it’s happening now,” Hizzoner said at the Brooklyn announcement, where he was joined by Schools Chancellor Richard Carranza.
The two spoke at the High School of Telecommunication Arts and Technology in Bay Ridge, where a whopping 82 percent of its 2018 seniors went on to college.
Carranza credited de Blasio’s “equity and excellence” agenda for public schools as the key factor in driving up the numbers.
“It doesn’t matter what your zip code is,” he added. “It doesn’t matter where you’re from. All that matters is what you want to do. “
In 2013, the year before de Blasio took office, only about 50 percent of New York City’s public high school graduates went on to college.
De Blasio said he expected two-thirds of graduating seniors to head straight to college on average by the time he leaves office in 2021.
Data for all 2019 graduates is not yet available.

Hwatu is a Korean card game that uses a deck of flower cards. These cards, originally invented in Japan, have depictions of various flowers which correspond to a certain month. This style of deck was invented in Japan as a response to the outlawing of traditional 4-suited decks. Currently, flower card games are more popular in Southern Korea. The goal of Hwatu is to capture cards in the central layout while scoring points for combinations among those cards. To capture cards, players must use a card from the same month, or a card with the same flower on it.
There are four cards that represent each month of the year with an accompanying flower. The basic objective of the game is to match cards with their respective sets (i.e. match cards from January with another card from January). Each player gets 10 cards and 8 cards are face up on the table. During each player's turn, they will: Play a card from their hand to the table. Flip the top card face up from the center deck onto the table. Collect any pairs they matched. If you have nothing in your hand that matches a card on the table, you will still need to place a card on the table. Hopefully, the card you flip will match another card on the table! At the end of your turn, if you get any matching cards, you collect those cards and let them be visible to your opponents.
A set of 5 bright cards scores 15 points. A set of 4 bright cards scores 4 points. A set of 3 bright cards not including December scores 3 points. A set of 3 bright cards including December score 2 points.
A set of 5 animal cards scores 1 point. Each additional animal card beyond 5 scores 1 extra point. The godori combination of 3 bird cards scores 5 points (February, April and August animal cards).
A set of any 5 ribbon cards scores 1 point. Each additional ribbon card beyond 5 scores 1 extra point. A set of 3 red ribbons with poems (January, February, March) scores 3 points. A set of 3 blue ribbons scores 3 points. A set of 3 red ribbons without poems (April. May, July) scores 3 points - the December ribbon card is not part of this set.
A set of 10 junk cards counts 1 point. Each additional junk card beyond 10 scores 1 extra point.

import numpy as np import pandas as pd import quandl import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import statsmodels.formula.api as sm quandl.ApiConfig.api_key = 'tAyfv1zpWnyhmDsp91yv' spy_table = quandl.get('BCIW/_SPXT') amzn_table = quandl.get('WIKI/AMZN') ebay_table = quandl.get('WIKI/EBAY') wal_table = quandl.get('WIKI/WMT') aapl_table = quandl.get('WIKI/AAPL') spy = spy_table.loc['2016',['Close']] amzn = amzn_table.loc['2016',['Close']] ebay = ebay_table.loc['2016',['Close']] wal = wal_table.loc['2016',['Close']] aapl = aapl_table.loc['2016',['Close']] spy_log = np.log(spy.Close).diff().dropna() amzn_log = np.log(amzn.Close).diff().dropna() ebay_log = np.log(ebay.Close).diff().dropna() wal_log = np.log(wal.Close).diff().dropna() aapl_log = np.log(aapl.Close).diff().dropna() df = pd.concat([spy_log,amzn_log,ebay_log,wal_log,aapl_log],axis = 1).dropna() df.columns = ['spy','amzn','ebay','wal','aapl'] df.tail()Now let's build the model. In the same way as building a simple linear regression model, we use the package 'statsmodels' by inputing the formula:
model = sm.ols(formula = 'amzn ~ spy+ebay+wal',data = df).fit() print model.summary()Here we built a multiple linear regression model. As we can read from the summary table, the P-value for Ebay, Wal-mart and Apple are 0.174, 0.330 and 0.068 respectively, which means none of the them are significance at a 95% confidence. If we compare the result with a simple regression model:
simple = sm.ols(formula = 'amzn ~ spy',data = df).fit() print simple.summary()We can see that the r-square increased a little bit. Actually as we increase the number of variables, the r-square will increase. However, this doesn't means it's better to add hundreds of variables. We will talk about this issue in the latter chapter. The reason why it's just increased a little is that we selected some stocks based on our intuition. We think that the competitors and the substitutes of AMZN may explain AMZN's daily return, but actually they don't. Here we try Fama-French 5 factor, which is an important model asset pricing theory and we will cover it in the later tutorials.
fama_table = quandl.get('KFRENCH/FACTORS5_D') fama = fama_table['2016'] fama = fama.rename(columns = {'Mkt-RF':'MKT'}) fama = fama.apply(lambda x: x/100) fama_df = pd.concat([fama,amzn_log],axis = 1) fama_model = sm.ols(formula = 'Close~MKT+SMB+HML+RMW+CMA',data = fama_df).fit() print fama_model.summary()As we can see, the r-square increased significantly if we use Fama-French 5 factor to do the multiple lienar regression. We can compare the prediction from simple linear regression and Fama-French multiple regression by plotting them together on one chart:
result = pd.DataFrame({'simple regression':simple.predict(),'fama_french':fama_model.predict(),'sample':df.amzn},index = df.index) plt.figure(figsize = (15,7.5)) plt.plot(result['2016-7':'2016-9'].index,result.loc['2016-7':'2016-9','simple regression']) plt.plot(result['2016-7':'2016-9'].index,result.loc['2016-7':'2016-9','fama_french']) plt.plot(result['2016-7':'2016-9'].index,result.loc['2016-7':'2016-9','sample']) plt.legend() plt.show()Although it's hard to observe, we can still found that the prediction from multiple regression is closer to the actual value. Usually we don't plot the result to observe which model is better, instead we read the statistical results from the summary table to make decisions.
From the last tutorial we know that r-square is an important statistical indicator for parameter significance. Now we are going to introduce another indicator for only multiple linear regression: F-score. The null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis for F-test are: \[H_0: \beta_1 = \beta_2 = \beta_3 =... = \beta_n = 0\]
\(H_1:\) At least one coefficient is not 0
We won't explain F test procedure in detail here. You just need to understand the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis. The 'F-statistic' in the summary table is the value for F-test, and the 'prob (F-statistic)' is the p-value for F-test. As you can see, the P-value of our F-test is extreme small, which means we are nearly 100% sure that at least one of the coefficient is not 0 from the statistic result. After setting up a multiple linear regression model, the first step to do is check the F-score for model significance. If the p-value is not small enough to reject the null hypothesis, you should reconsider the feasibility of this model and find some other variables to build a new one. If we are doing simple linear regression, the null hypothesis for F-test and the null hypothesis for t-test on the slope should be exactly the same, so the p-values for both test should also be the same. You can find it from the simple linear regression summary table above.plt.figure() fama_model.resid.plot.density() plt.show()As we can see from the plot, the residual is indeed normal distributed. Now let's check if the mean is zero:
print 'residual mean: ', np.mean(fama_model.resid) print 'residual variance: ', np.var(fama_model.resid)The mean is small enough to be deemed as zero. This model passed the normality part of residual analysis.
plt.figure(figsize = (20,10)) plt.scatter(df.spy,simple.resid) plt.axhline(0.05) plt.axhline(-0.05) plt.xlabel('x value') plt.ylabel('residual') plt.show()As we can see from the chart, the variance of residual doesn't increase with x obviously, except for three outliers, which would not change our conclusion. We can plot to test Heteroskedasticity for simple linear regression. However, we can't do this for multiple regression, we use python package instead:
from statsmodels.stats import diagnostic as dia het = dia.het_breuschpagan(fama_model.resid,fama_df[['MKT','SMB','HML','RMW','CMA']][1:]) print 'p-value of Heteroskedasticity: ', het[-1]For the multiple regression, we have 85% confidence level to claim that there is no Heteroskedasticity detected.

Abstract: Building Webapps to Help You Build a Jeep
Historically, automotive plant operators received part numbers and VINs in printed formats to run production line (including sub-assembly lines, e.g., sequencing and kitting). These "broadcasts" or build sheets were temporarily attached to cars and quickly discarded upon vehicle completion. In contrast to the traditional printouts, this talk will introduce mobile webapps as an effective way to replace paper printouts and provide vital production information quickly and efficiently. Videos of an automotive plant assembly line will illustrate how operators receive and use information from both the original paper and new webapp formats.

Nige has been rereading Pale Fire, and has inspired me to begin my own once-per-decade revisit to Vladimir Nabokov's most magnificent novel. Just as Lolita has the finest parenthetical phrase in all literature—(picnic, lightning) – so Pale Fire contains my absolute favourite sentence. If you have not yet read the book, you should look away now, as they say on television…
In itself, the sentence is unremarkable. But in its context, its placement (at the end of the third paragraph of the Foreword), and its startling, joyous, vertiginous effect, it has no peer.
There is a very loud amusement park right in front of my present lodgings.


I am a passionate and determined software developer. I have skills in programming languages which makes to be part of the pround IT woman. I am enthuastic in IT where I will use the new technology to change the community. I use my skills to build country and giving more, this makes me to grow more in the tech word.
As for relegated/delegated responsibility to ensure organizational software licensing compliance, management is still accountable when intellectual property rights are violated. If the safeguarding responsibility is assigned to an ineffective and/or inefficient unit within an organization, IT audit should recommend an alternative arrangement after the risks are substantiated.

DESIGN
My past designs in graphic and advertising.
Cookout is a popular fast food chain amongst the Southern coast college crowd. Its advertisement is entirely done by word-of-mouth. But if it were to have proper advertisement, it would highlight the many unique aspects that only Cook Out can offer that no other fast food restaurants can't.
How do we get people to be interested in investing their time to learning how to play a guitar? By highlighting how the guitar is regarded as a universally appealing music instrument compared to other less "cool" counterparts.
Coinstar Machines have only one function: to count accumulated and unspent change/coins into cash vouchers. What are some proactive ways to increase its usage beyond its original design purpose? One possible solution: Giving the users the option to donate their unspent change/coins to a local cause.
Working as the marketing consultant for a 3-D Printing Company, I designed promotional materials that were used for circulation to make locals aware of Third Surface's promotional activities.
As a design intern for an ad agency that specializes in senior living, I’ve created various graphics to aid and inform seniors and their loved ones of relevant upcoming events and information. These graphics ranged from pamphlets, newsprint, ads, infographics, etc.

use M_calculator, only : calculator, getvalue, igetvalue, rgetvalue, stuff, stuffa use M_calculator, only : iclen_calc, ixy_calc, icname_calc, x, y, values_len, values ! convenience routines use M_calculator, only : inum0, rnum0, dnum0, snum0, expression, strgarr, strgar2
The M_calculator module and related functions evaluate CHARACTER strings containing FORTRAN-like expressions and returns numeric and string values.
Using this interface it is easy to make free-format and order-independent input interfaces where values can be expressions and variable names instead of simple formatted numbers.
The primary routine CALCULATOR(3f) acts like a powerful desk-top calculator. It supports named variables and has several arrays (of 55555 elements each). Many standard FORTRAN functions are available, plus access to user-written functions is permitted via user-supplied routines via set_mysub(3f) and set_myfunc(3f).
The programmer (generally) uses just the CALCULATOR(3f) routine or several convenience routines (INUM0,RNUM0,SNUM0,STRGAR2,EXPRESSION) that simplify making the most common type of calls to CALCULATOR(3f).
The variables used to hold the X,Y,$X, $Y, ... arrays and the dictionaries of variable names and string names and their associated values:
- integer,parameter,public :: iclen_calc=512 ! max length of expression or variable value as a string
- integer,parameter,public :: ixy_calc=55555 ! number of variables in X() and Y() array
- integer,parameter,public :: icname_calc=20 ! max length of a variable name
- real(kind=dp),save,public :: x(ixy_calc)=0.0_dp ! x array for procedure funcs_
- real(kind=dp),save,public :: y(ixy_calc)=0.0_dp ! y array for procedure funcs_
- integer,save,public,allocatable :: values_len(:) ! lengths of the string variable values
- character(len=:),save,public,allocatable :: values(:) ! string variable values
A=sin(3.1416/2) big=200.333E200 $name="Thomas Jefferson"Variables may be defined by equating them to an expression. To define or redefine a variable called FRED, simply enter:
> FRED=300*4/500The last value assigned to a variable will be used to evaluate the expression on the left of the equals sign when this expression redefines the variable. For example:
> A=2 2 > A 2 > A=A+A 4 > A=A+A 8To allow FORTRAN-type E-format numeric entry and yet not cause the calculator routine to do an excessive amount of checking, a variable name ending in the letter E must not have a digit (012345789) in front of that ending E. Attempting to define such a variable name will produce an error. This limitation prevents the calculator from becoming confused by whether 12E+3 is a variable called 12E plus 3 or the exponential number 12E3=12000.

In addition to standard Fortran intrinsics, many other functions are supported ...
a=if(ge(b,c),a,d)means return a if b is greater than or equal to c else return d.
The $now() and $fmtdate() functions can output a date in a multitude of formats and can be used to perform simple date manipulations.
If ITYPE is present different algorithms are used. The system routines vary from platform to platform. The preferred algorithm is the "Numerical Recipes" algorithm. The ITYPE must agree between the SRAND() call and the RAND() call. A call to SRAND() should precede use of RAND().
Any program that calls CALCULATOR(3f) directly or indirectly (via EXPRESSION(3f), STRGAR2(), INUM0(), RNUM0(), SNUM0()) can extend the functions available by supplying two routines:

IRON MONKEY (a film review by Mark R. Leeper)
CAPSULE: IRON MONKEY is a movie that is easier to like than to respect. It has a plot that could easily have been a Zorro episode but is reframed as Chinese martial arts. There is lots of action but if you are old enough to read the subtitles, you have probably seen much of the plot before. Rating: 6 (0 to 10), +1 (-4 to +4)
CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON was the most successful foreign- language film ever released in the United States. It combined a story of some sophistication with some historical spectacle and more than a little martial arts action including some incredibly graceful wirework. While the market for martial arts films is still hot other distributors want to cash in. Action films like THE MUSKETEER are throwing in wirework in places where it does not belong. One previously released film featuring martial arts on and off a wire has gotten a new lease on life. The film is IRON MONKEY. It is a nice polished production from Tsui Hark, who produced the CHINESE GHOST STORY films and WICKED CITY. Superficially it looks like it is in the same class as CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON. It has the acrobatics and the elegant photography. But it lacks the plot subtlety. In fact, the plotting bears no small resemblance to an episode from the adventures of that American hero from old California, El Zorro.
In IRON MONKEY, a corrupt governor rules a village and oppresses the innocent peasants forcing high taxes on them. The governor needs to tax the peasants mercilessly to support his expensive and selfish life style including gourmet food for himself and his nine beautiful wives. The one thorn in the governor's side, beside his comically inept captain of the guards, is a masked bandit who, in classic tradition, steals from the rich and gives to the poor. Wherever there is injustice, Iron Monkey seems to know it and is there to flip into action and clobber evildoers with ultra-perfect kung fu style. Nobody knows that Iron Monkey is in reality the timid-seeming village doctor and the Monkey's sidekick is the doctor's beautiful assistant. Iron Monkey is put into danger when another medical man comes to the village with a son. In addition to the healing arts, they are also secretly expert in the martial arts. They can cure or clobber. They seem to be good, but their loyalties give the impression of being with the evil governor.
The screenplay, a product of four credited writers, has more than a few plot holes and contrivances. A character only has to claim to be oppressed, truthfully or not, and immediately the Iron Monkey comes to her aid. In one case a woman only utters the words and the Monkey is there. To give the film a one-up on other martial arts films even the Shao-Lin monks whose heroic virtue is lauded in so many martial arts films have been turned to the dark side by this evil governor.
Visually the film has a few problems. The virtuosity of the martial artists is clearly excellent, but too often they rely rather obviously on wires to create an impressive appearance. Another frequent but too obvious effect is to run the film backwards. Both of these effects are extremely detectable. Wooden poles and pillars when struck like with a karate kick seem to break in perfectly smooth saw cuts. One more visual problem in a different vein: Orchid, the Iron Monkey's assistant, can dress as a man and even wear a fake mustache, but it still is hard to believe the evil governor is fooled.
Director Woo-ping Yuen loses no opportunity to show off Chinese dishes. The governor is fond of shark fin soup. The guards like Dim Sum. (Is this an anachronism?) And Orchid likes to make piquant meat dishes. They seem to have people as adept in the kitchen arts as others are in the martial arts.
If distributors are looking for a way to capture the fire of CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON, they will probably have to make new film. IRON MONKEY just is not in the same class. It is, however, just about right for a Saturday matinee. I rate it a 6 on the 0 to 10 scale and a +1 on the -4 to +4 scale. FYI: A credit at the end says "Remembering Kevin Bartnof." Who is that? Kevin Bartnof died June 30, 2001, at the age of 43. He had been a foley artist (meaning he provided basic sound effects like footsteps, doors closing, etc.) on major films like THE ABYSS, SCHINDLER'S LIST, THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, and THE PERFECT STORM.

After thinking about building a relay-computer for a while, I started
focusing on the flip-flop design and came up with idea for a master-slave
flip-flop with a capacitor-based latch for the master side and a hold
resistor based latch for the slave side. Of course I wanted to try it, so I
designed a 4-bit counter:
And tried it on a bread-board:
The above video is a re-creation: at first I thought it would be better
to use 24V relays, since I thought they would have better fan-out.
Eventualy I realized that the cost of a 24V power supply would have been a
big problem, so I switched to 12V. None the less, I bought a bunch of 24V
relays which I used for these experiments.
A relay PDP-8 ?
I thought it would be neat to make a relay-based clone of a real
computer, and of course I needed a really small one so naturally I focused
on a PDP-8 minicomputer
from DEC. So I designed one. I wrote a Verilog version of the PDP-8 to
pre-verify the design and help with optimization.
I designed the PDP-8 in schematics using 227 24V relays. I also did a
gate level simulation of this design, so I'm fairly confident it will
work.
Trainer...
But with more thought, I've decided the PDP-8 is little silly. It would
be so slow that running any real software wouldn't be very interesting.
Also, I ended up being more interested in making something I could mass
produce and possibly sell. 227 relays is just too big and too expensive for
such a toy. Still, I've given the design above and perhaps someone would
like to build one.
So I came up with a list of constraints for a more reasonable relay-based
computer:
It should be a single PCB.
The PCB should be small enough to fit in a USPS "Medium Flat Rate Box"
otherwise I would have difficulty with shipping.
It had to be a real programmable computer, not just an adder or
ALU.
It should have a front panel interface so that it could be used without
any external equipment.
Anyway, I toyed around with modifications to the PDP-8 design. Perhaps I
could keep all the same concepts but make an 8-bit version?
I finally hit upon a number of changes which reduced the design:
Switch to two address instead of single address + accumulator. This
immediately saves 18 relays (in the 12-bit PDP-8) by eliminating the
accumulator.
This implies that instructions would be wider, in fact a different
width than the data path. This ends up also saving relays because the
instruction register ends up being implemented in semiconductors, so even if
instructions are wider, it will not cost relays.
Change the datapath from 12 bits to 8 bits or even 6 bits. The PDP-8 is
12 bits for two reasons: so that instructions would fit, and so that the
address size would be reasonable. Now we don't need to fit instructions in
a data word, but address size is still important.
8-bit datapath is nice since you can then move ASCII characters around,
so I went with that.
Now we're left with addressing: for a relay computer you don't really
need much, but is 256 enough? If it isn't I would have to have some kind of
paging scheme and support some form of indirection. Well 256 would have to
be enough, and in fact it's fine.
Front Panel
I was originally planning on having LEDs and switches for the front
panel. However, it turns out that switches are quite expensive- in fact
more than the 7-segment LED-display and keypad that I now have. Also I knew
from experience that although switches have a nice nostalgia value, they are
in fact very tedious to use.
Design
I use older design tools that I bought when I was working as a consultant
in the mid 1990s: DOS OrCAD SDT
386+ for schematic capture and PADS PowerPCB version
3.5.1 for PCB layout. I have access to newer tools at work (Allegro,
ConceptHDL), but they are certainly not mine to use for home projects. I
should probably learn an open source tool like gEDA, but I already know the tools I
own.
OrCAD
I've used DOS OrCAD for many designs including PCB designs and Xilinx
FPGA designs using Xilinx XACT (now I use Verilog for FPGAs, and would have
used it even then if it was available) and has one of the best user
interfaces of any software tool. With some recent video drivers DOS OrCAD
now works better in Windows-XP than it ever did in MS-DOS. Tragically,
64-bit versions of Windows do not support VM86 mode, so OrCAD doesn't run
well (you could use DoSBOX, but it's not as good). Long mode does not
directly support Virtual 8086 mode,
but with work Microsoft could have pulled it off (switch to 32-bit Protected
mode, then switch to VM86 mode): see v86-64 for Linux.
I wrote a tool to convert OrCAD to Verilog so that I could run a
"gate-level" simulation of the design (look for the Verilog netlister in the
files section of the OldDosOrCAD Yahoo group) using the open source Icarus Verilog and GTKWave. This influenced the
design style I used. Basically it's a very hierarchical design, where the
relays only appear in the leaf pages, and the leaf pages are simple and
small. Each leaf page is replaced with a Verilog model whose source is
written as a comment embedded on the schematic page itself. This simulation
was more important when I was going to make a relay clone of the PDP-8,
since I definitely wanted to simulate the complex control logic. The
Trainer design is simpler, so I never did the gate level simulation.
I also have OrCAD Capture 7.2 (I got it when I was still paying
maintenance) which can import SDT 386+. I used this to generate the .pdf
version of the schematics. I tediously annotated the schematics with
Acrobat so that you can traverse the hierarchy by clicking on blocks.
Supposedly there is a script to do this in much more recent version of OrCAD
Capture, but it does not work in the free versions and I'm not buying
it.
PADS
I own and have used PADS for DOS, but PowerPCB is better (I prefer it
over Cadance Allegro). I have the Specctra autorouter and the PADS Blaze
autorouter (PADS gave Blaze to customers on maintenance for free when it was
first developed). I used the Blaze autorouter for the Relay Trainer: it
takes Blaze less than a minute on my old IBM T41 laptop to route the entire
design. All the real work is in the placement, footprint creation and
silkscreen design.
One huge annoyance with PowerPCB is that it uses a parallel port dongle
for licensing. I'm stuck needing a machine with a real parallel port for
this. My IBM T41 is dying (it has the cracked
video chip solder ball problem), so I'm soon going to have to buy
another one to keep a working CAD station. Until it dies completely I've
found I can make progress by bending the entire laptop slightly.
First build
For the first build, I had PCBs made, but purchased and assembled the
components into the board myself. I bought 10 boards, but assembled only
one of them. For high-end (high speed, many-layer) designs, I've always
used Sierra Proto Express (I
always thought it was cool that I could send them an 8-layer board design by
9 PM on the east coast, and have the fabricated boards back by the next
morning). For this low-tech two-layer design I only care about cost, so I
was willing to try other places and wait a week for the fab time. I ended
up using Advanced Circuits- they are
popular and a bit lower cost than Sierra Proto Express.
The raw boards from Advanced Circuits were quite nice:
Unfortunately I made a horrible mistake in the schematic symbol for the
relays: I had reversed the pin numbers between the normally open and
normally closed pins! I remember reviewing the symbol, thinking it was
wrong, and "correcting" it. What a massive screw-up: I'm usually pretty
good with this kind of detail, but this time my luck definitely ran out.
So then I had to decide, make another run of boards or fix each relay by
hand with cuts and jumpers to each relay? Well I wanted to debug everything
before spending more money, so I did the latter. This is what it looks
like:
There were a few other minor mistakes, so even if the symbol was not
messed up the board would not have been perfect. Still, a few jumpers would
have been fine with me but the symbol mistake made it impossible. Even with
all these cuts and jumpers the board did finally work.
Buttons
Notice that the "tactile switch" caps have printed lettering on them. I
experimented with screen-printing this lettering onto the caps and was
planning on doing this in the final version. Here is the screen I made for
this, from a Speedball kit from
the local art store.
This ink worked for the smooth plastic caps:
Even so this screen printing is a lot of work, so I looked for
alternative solutions. One idea was to get die-cut lexan stickers for the
buttons, but for sure there would have been an NRE charge and there is still
work to put the stickers on the buttons. As it turned out these large
button caps were not available for the second build and the smaller caps
reveal enough of the PCB screen printing so that no lettering is needed.
Second build
For the second build I wanted to try to get the boards assembled by a
contract manufacturer. At first I was discouraged because most places that
are willing to do small runs are really set up only for surface mount
technology. They will do through-hole parts, but they don't have any
automation for it so they charge a lot for manual insertions.
I was seriously thinking of changing to all surface mount, though I
thought through hole would be a better option for kits. Surface mount is
great for most parts, but not relays, cheap LEDs, switches or connectors.
Surface mount relays do exist, but they are quite a bit more expensive than
the through-hole versions. Of course it's possible to have a mixed surface
mount and through-hole board, but this also costs extra since it means
having both reflow and wave-soldering steps.
MyRO PCB
I finally chanced upon MyRO PCB.
They have a sales office in Canada, but their factory is in China. They
have such reasonable prices for through-hole assembly that I gave up on the
idea of switching anything to surface mount. I don't know if they have
through-hole insertion machines, or if the low price is entirely due to the
labor costs; perhaps it's both. Anyway, I gave them a try.
Part ordering
MyRO will purchase parts for you if you give them a BOM (Bill of
Materials), for a fee. They can purchase from the big distributors like Mouser and Digikey, and want you to use these
distributors' part numbers. They do not deal with some smaller companies
such as Jameco, or directly with
component manufacturers- well at least they would not buy relays from a
Chinese relay manufacturer.
They will also accept parts shipped to them. I ended up having them buy
everything except for the relays, which I bought direct from Kest. This did
not work out as well as I had hoped because shipping to China is expensive.
It's well worth MyRO's fee to have them buy the parts for you.
Anyway, I gave them the design, the BOM and money, and three weeks later
10 assembled boards arrived at my home.
Here is a list of the changes to the design between the first and second
builds:
Add series resistors on serial port (to support both 3.3v or 5v)
Split ground between relays and semiconductors
Ground shell of DB-9 (also shell of pot)
"Pin 1" silkscreen missing from PIC headers
LED D23 numbers are confusing: we should have bit numbers. Moved the D
numbers above the LEDs
Lots of missing outlines on silkscreen: LEDs, some of the chips.
Changed options for generating silkscreen and assembly drawing in PADS.
Eliminate input relays to reduce cost.
Use pc0_l directly as first PC incremented bit.
Switch to 20 pin 24FV32KA301 to lower cost.
Switch to ULN2803A for single-ended pins to lower cost. Had to invert
signals going into condition code logic because now n signal is
inverted.
Add LED for clock
Add pot for frequency control
Pin 5 / 6 swapped on all relays!
Ballast resistors too close to LEDs- now holes are .15 inch away instead of
.1 inch.
1 uF caps have 2 mm pin spacing, but we have 2.5 mm..
Switch to 100 ohms, 33 uF for relay flip-flops master side.
Need 4.7K pull up on MCLR of pic24fv.. also why doesn't allow me
to turn off MCLR function? (refuses to clear the bit- maybe can't
with pickit?).
LED D14 / D15 reversed (write data), also D16/D17, D18/D19 and
D20/D21.
Add FTDI logic level serial header
in8 of rotator should be connected to carry flag, not left open.
Put wra where halt label is. wra & wrb now means halt.
Put imm where clk label is.
Pins 2 and 4 are swapped on the DB9.. UGH..
RB5 is serial rx on the pic16, not ra5... put MR to 4017 on RB4 and connect serial rx to
rb5
Too much noise on reset line of '595s.. tie it high on each chip
c_in and c_in_l reversed in carry_invclr c_in_l should go on the 12v
side
This time, the boards had no wiring mistakes but there were still
problems.
Relay Trouble
For the first build I bought 12V DPDT DIP "Kest"-branded relays from All Electronics. They worked
fine, so I figured I'd be conservative and use the same part for the second
build. MyRO will not buy from All Electronics, so I figured I'd save money
by buying 830 relays directly from Kest, who turn out to be in New Jersey.
These relays seem to be different from the ones from All Electronics, even
though they have the same part number.
First of all the case is orange instead of black, but I sure wish that
was the only difference. The orange relays seem to have weaker springs, so
that even though the coil resistance is the same as the black ones, the
needed holding current is much less. It means that the relay-based
flip-flops will turn on, but will not turn off again. I had to increase the
value of the holding resistors for sure.
But just increasing the holding resistors didn't work. Some of the
relays wouldn't stay on and need smaller holding resistors. There is a wide
enough variance in the relay spring strength that I ended having to tune
each relay! So much for a turn-key build process. To tune the holding
resistors I replace the original 1.8K holding resistors with 4.7K, and then
solder either a 10K or a 6.8K resistor in parallel on the back of the board
for the ones which need more current (I could just replace the resistors,
but each time you de-solder a resistor it damages the board to some degree,
so it's better to add them).
(The two jumpers shown are for fixing traces I broke during debugging
and are not needed on "fresh" boards).
Here is a table of measurements for five of these orange Kest KS2E-M-DC
relays:
Relay

Coil
1
2.31K
5.45K
.72K
2
2.03K
4.81K
.73K

1.50K
3.56K
.74K

3.26K
6.41K
.72K
5
1.76K
4.61K
.74K
Min is the minimum value of the hold resistor below which the relay is
stuck on.
Max is the maximum value of the hold resistor above which the relay won't
stay on.
The largest min is 3.26K and the smallest max is 3.56K so the mean is
3.41K and the window is only .3 K!
Here is a table of a sampling of five new TE Connectivity / Axicom MT2
C93418 relays I'm considering using instead for the next build:
Relay
Min
Max
Coil
1
.88K
2.38K
.70K
2
.76K
2.9K

3.3K
.71K
4
1.04K
3.2K
.70K
5
.75K
2.87K
.70K
The largest min is 1.04K and the smallest max is 2.38K, so the mean is
1.71K and the window is 1.34K, which is much more reasonable. These relays
are closer to the black Kest KS2E-M-DC12s, where I got the original 1.8K
value for the hold resistor.
You could argue that I'm not using the relays in their intended way by
using the holding resistors. Still, I'm surprised at the huge variance.
Unfortunately the problems do not end there: about 2% of the relays are just
plain broken. The coil is OK, and I can hear them click, but the contacts
do not close.
Incidentally here is a simple jig to test my relay flip flops:
This is a single bit flip-flop counter with the D input driven by an
SN754410 half H-bridge driver. This chip has to be in the circuit because
its low level output voltage is about 1V, not ground like the relay
flip-flop outputs. I also use this jig to determine the capacitor value the
input resistor value and the maximum frequency.
For the next build, I intend to use a different brand of relay, perhaps
the one above. I've found that there are two commonly specified drop-out
voltages: .6 V and 1.2 V. I suspect that the 1.2 V ones will work better.
I've also spent more time in Mouser's on-line catalogue and found some lower
cost relays. Searching for parts on Mouser is definitely a skill all on its
own since they have so many parts that it is easy to miss ones, and the
lowest cost options are not always prominently displayed.
Noise
I found that the load and clock lines of the 74HC595 chains were picking
up noise on the second build. I did not have this issue on the first build,
but the routing is different and the brand of 74HC595 is different. Anyway,
the fix was to add capacitors to these signals- you can see them on the
back of the board in the photo above.


Learning to design my website was one of the best ideas I had but teaching how to design and implement different modules and blocks has exceeded the personal satisfaction of learning. When I started my website, few of those who knew me doubted that my website would improve over time since when something gets into my head it is difficult to get it out, for better and for worse. But very few imagined that apart from having great followers in it, I was going to dedicate myself to teaching computer science to the next generations.
In 2019 he would enter public education in the largest institute in Guadalajara. One of the modules that I had to teach would be markup language. This module tries to establish knowledge regarding web programming, HTML and the XML language, widely used in multiple sectors.
This year I have decided to show what they can do in a module like this, a higher cycle student, whose requirements to study are to have completed high school or the middle cycle of computer science, after just 70 hours of dedication to the web and the rest is eaten by XML.

Résumé
— Hello! I’m a great boxer*
Fear is a boxer's best friend! And there is nothing to be
ashamed of ... Fear, like fire, burns inside you. If you
learn to control him, you will feel heat in your chest,
but if he controls you, he will burn you and everything
