Autonomous Robotic Car: First Year Engineering Project
The process involved designing and building several circuits, implementing
computer vision using a Raspberry Pi and configuring several sensor circuits
using Arduino.
This was a group project with 4 coursemates. Our group won
second place in the poster competition as well as earning a place in the top 5 for accuracy
of the robotic car. This was assessed through a race where all built cars had to overcome
obstacles, measure the angle of an incline, stop at red traffic lights and shoot a ball into a goal.


Property configuration is a good way to separate code from configuration. Ogham allows you to configure values using builders. For example, you can configure the SMTP host and port like this:
Sample
Java
MessagingBuilder.standard()
.email()
.sender(JavaMailBuilder.class)
.host("localhost")
.port(25);
-
However, when using a library, it is simpler that this library provides a way to configure some values without the need of writing code to configure it. The integration is easier. The configuration should also be done in several ways to let the developer choose what fits his needs.
You can use configuration properties that are defined several ways:
-
in a properties file that is present in the classpath (inside the application)
-
in a properties file that is present on the file system (outside the application)
-
using standard
java.util.Properties
-
using standard
System.getProperties()
-
define properties directly in code in a fluent way
Sample
Java
package fr.sii.ogham.sample.standard;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Properties;
import fr.sii.ogham.core.builder.MessagingBuilder;
import fr.sii.ogham.core.exception.MessagingException;
import fr.sii.ogham.core.service.MessagingService;
public class PropertiesSample {
public static void main(String[] args) throws MessagingException, IOException {
Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty("ogham.email.from", "hello@world.com");
MessagingService service = MessagingBuilder.standard()
.environment()
.properties(props) (1)
.properties("classpath:email.properties") (2)
.properties("file:/etc/app/email.properties") (3)
.properties()
.set("mail.smtp.port", "10") (4)
.and()
.systemProperties() (5)
.and()
.build();
}
}
| 1 | Use standard java.util.Properties |
| 2 | Load the file from the classpath (relative to root of the classpath) |
| 3 | Load the file from the file system |
| 4 | Directly set a property with its value in a fluent way |
| 5 | Use standard System.getProperties() |
-
This sample shows that configuration may come from several sources (code, shared properties, file inside the application, file outside the application and from system properties).


There are many different ways to build a computer - just as there are many ways to build a house. Different architectures have different capabilities, strengths and weaknesses and if you want to write good operating systems or compilers or software, it helps to understand how the computers work in general and how the architecture of your particular computer works in particular.
Computer architecture and Organization focuses on the function and design of various components necessary to process information digitally. The study of computer architecture and organization focuses on the interface between hardware and software, and emphasizes the structure and behavior of the system.
As computer users, we probably do not have to worry about this anymore than we need to know what our cars look like under the hood in order to drive them. We can certainly write high label language programs without understanding how these programs execute. We can use various application packages without understanding how they really work. But what happens when the program we have written needs to be faster and more efficient or the application we are using does not do precisely what we want? As Computer Scientists, we need a basic understanding of computer system itself in order to rectify these problems.
Therefore it is important learning CS more efficiently by starting it from ground-up (e.g. digital logic -> computer architecture -> C -> Java etc...).
Understanding hardware can help you explain the mysterious errors that sometimes creep into our programs, such as the infamous segmentation fault or bus error and that’s what we are going to study in this subject.
The basic components involve in computer architecture:
• ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) – Performs calculations and comparisons (data changed)
• CU (Control Unit): performs fetch/execute cycle
– Functions:
• Moves data to and from CPU registers and other hardware components (no change in data)
• Accesses program instructions and issues commands to the ALU
– Subparts:
• Memory management unit: supervises fetching instructions and data
• I/O Interface: sometimes combined with memory management u nit as Bust Interface Unit
• Registers
– Example: Program Counter (PC) or instruction pointer determines next instruction for execution.
The unit wise description of this subject is as given below
Unit-1: Arithmetic operations:
The basic arithmetic operations for real numbers are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
The basic arithmetic properties are the commutative, associative, and distributive properties.
Unit-2: Processor and control unit:
The control unit (CU) is a component of a computer's central processing unit (CPU) that directs the operation of the processor. It tells the computer's memory, arithmetic and logic unit and input and output devices how to respond to the instructions that have been sent to the processor.
It directs the operation of the other units by providing timing and control signals. Most computer resources are managed by the CU. It directs the flow of data between the CPU and the other devices.
Unit-3: Parallelism:
Parallel computing is a type of computation in which many calculations or the execution of processes are carried out simultaneously. Large problems can often be divided into smaller ones, which can then be solved at the same time.
There are several different forms of parallel computing: bit-level, instruction-level, data, and task parallelism. Parallelism has long been employed in high-performance computing. Parallel computing has become the dominant paradigm in computer architecture, mainly in the form of multi-core processors.
Unit-4: Memory and I/O systems:
The I/O subsystem of a computer provides an efficient mode of communication between the central system and the outside environment. It handles all the input-output operations of the computer system.
Computer memory is any physical device capable of storing information temporarily like RAM (random access memory), or permanently, like ROM (read-only memory). Memory devices utilize integrated circuits and are used by operating systems, software, and hardware. We will learning about different types of memories available and there effective usage from this topic.
•Logic Implementation: designs the circuits required at a logic gate level
•Circuit Implementation: does transistor-level designs of basic elements (gates, multiplexers, latches etc.) as well as of some larger blocks (ALUs, caches etc.) that may be implemented at the log gate level, or even at the physical level if the design calls for it.
•Physical Implementation: draws physical circuits. The different circuit components are placed in a chip floor plan or on a board and the wires connecting them are created.
•Design Validation: tests the computer as a whole to see if it works in all situations and all timings. Once the design validation process starts, the design at the logic level are tested using logic emulators. However, this is usually too slow to run realistic test. So, after making corrections based on the first test, prototypes are constructed using Field-Programmable Gate-Arrays (FPGAs). Most hobby projects stop at this stage. The final step is to test prototype integrated circuits. Integrated circuits may require several redesigns to fix problems.
A computer architect designs and develops computer systems for an organization, the term is used to encompass all architect roles currently existing in the IT industry:
• Domain architect (business, application, data/information, and infrastructure),
• Enterprise architect (encompassing all domain architectures),
• Solution architect (developing solutions to specific business problems),
• Cross-cutting roles such as security architect (focusing on all the processes, mechanisms, technology used to protect the assets of the enterprise against unauthorized access).
A Computer Architect is typically paid an average salary of around $108,500 annually. Most computer architects need a bachelor's degree to do their jobs, but those who complete additional coursework or certification in business or information management may have the potential to earn more. Computer architects who work in computer systems design and information technology earn the most.
• Participate an internship. Internship programs offered by companies can provide hands-on experience with computer programming and analysis, hardware, operating systems, and storage knowledge. Experience can be invaluable when looking for employment.

Three arrested as Hausa protest over installation of Seriki Ife
by Bola BamigbolaBola Bamigbola
Three people said to be sponsors of those that blocked Sabo Road, Ile Ife on Saturday during a protest have been arrested by the police.
Osun State Police Commissioner, Abiodun Ige, confirmed their arrest in a chat.
Some northerners had blocked the busy Sabo Road, while protesting against plans to install a candidate as Seriki Hausawa.
The development caused panic in the area before the situation was brought under control by the police.
According to findings, three people were eyeing the stool of Seriki after the demise of the last occupant of the seat.
However, protesters that blocked the road were said to be protesting against plan to install a candidate said to be unpopular.
According to residents of Sabo, during the period that the road was barricaded, commuters passing through the area very early on Saturday had hectic time.
Policemen deployed to the scene, however, dismantled the barricade and arrested those suspected to be masterminds of the incident.

Software prefetching can be a guessing game for most programmers, leading to inefficient and trivial uses. Machine Learning can do the guessing for us since there are endless possibilities of where to give prefetching hints. By being able to do the guessing in parallel through the use of MPI running multiple instances of a program, we expect to see improvements for both prefetching and our machine learning algorithm.

iocaml
can automatically create the files requires for a simple
static site with the following features
- one or more notebooks
- a single (user configurable) iocamljs kernel
- configurable site root path
To get started we would use the standard iocaml server to create some notebooks with a potentially custom kernel.
$ iocaml -js my_test_kernel my_notebooks/
Once happy with the notebooks a site can be created
$ iocaml -js my_test_kernel my_notebooks/ \
-create-static-site my_site_dir \
-static-site-base-path /online_dir
The site will be created in my_site_dir
.
The option -static-site-base-path
configures the internal links within the
generated html to allow the notebooks to be hosted at an arbitrary url path
on the server. If left out then the notebooks will be served from the
root url.
- For a
gh-pages
project site you would use-static-site-base-path /project_name
- You can also serve directly from the file system. Say the site is generated in
/my/path
. Using-static-site-base-path "file:///my/path"
will allow you to test the site from the browser directly. note; chromium-browser should be started with the option--allow-file-access-from-files
.

Business Case for Open apis
Dramatically improving business & IT agility
Open APIs enable a modular platform architecture, allowing CSPs to abstract underlying complexity and establish a set of platform capabilities which can be used to radically reduce time-to-market for new services and the cost of creating and operating these new services.
Enabling a global wholesale connectivity ecosystem
The current wholesale ecosystem is laden with inefficient and largely manual processes which are not viable in a world of Software-Defined Networks and Network Functions Virtualization. By implementing Open APIs for IT, operators can radically improve and simplify provisioning, flexibility and scalability of wholesale services. This enables operators to work together to deliver network services at global scale which can compete effectively in today’s market.
Reducing integration cost, risk and time for the entire supply chain
With service providers under increasing pressure to improve IT efficiency and overall agility, the costs and risks associated with point-to-point integrations need to be reduced. TM Forum Open APIs, in combination with the established Frameworx standards, provide a pragmatic way to dramatically cut the time and risks associated with systems transformation projects, ongoing maintenance and future change requests.
Reducing the cost and complexity of CSP operations
Large operator groups with 20+ regional businesses need to reduce cost, simplify operations and crate harmony across geographic regions and the globe in order to deploy new group-wide or region-wide product offerings.

IN & OUT Review By David Wilcock (C)1998=20
Running Time: 90 minutes (1 hour 30 minutes) Starring Kevin Kline, Joan Cusack, Matt Dillon and Tom Selleck Directed by Frank Oz
Kevin Kline (I Love You To Death, 1990) stars in this amiable, yet not entirely funny, comedy. He play Howard Brackett, an English teacher in the peaceful, almost perfect town of Greenwood. He is about to marry Emily Montgomery (Cusack), and everything is perfect. However, one of his former pupils, Cameron Drake (Dillon), now an actor, wins an OSCAR. And at the end of his speech, he says that Howard is gay. Soon, the whole town wonders if he is, Howard insists he isn't, and the media start to invade his life, including gay reporter Peter Malloy (Selleck). The small town of Greenwood is thrown into chaos.
Even with this good setup, the film doesn't deliver enough good gags.  There are no really original gags present. He also relies too much on scenes with many people being still and looking shocked. Although funny the first few times, the joke gradually wears out, and just stops being funny. The cast, however, are excellent. Kevin Kline is funny as Howard, getting increasingly panicked throughout the film.  Dillon is also good, although he hardly features in the film at all. The acting honours, though, go to Joan Cusack, delivering a brilliant performance of Howard's wife-to-be, and the way she goes psycho is hilarious. Again, her role is underwritten (like every character in this film), but she is fun.
However, Frank Oz's direction is pretty poor. He always seems to mess up a good joke. Like What About Bob?(1990) and Little Shop of Horrors(1986), every time a good joke seems on the horizon, it never appears. There are so many missed opportunities in this film, it hurts. The jokes that do work, though, are usually funny, and there are some laugh-out-loud jokes in there. But the jokes are very hit and miss, with more misses than hits.
In & Out, then, is never quite as funny as it should be. In fact, the only really funny scene in the film are the clips from Dillons OSCAR winning film, "To Serve and Protect", about a gay solider. Perhaps if that film had been made full length, it would of been funnier than this. Although watchable, overall In & Out is never as funny as it could be. Disappointing.
OVERALL RATING=3D** 1/2 OUT OF ***** (2 1/2 out of 5)

Venus is the second planet from the Sun, orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days. It has the longest rotation period (243 days) of any planet in the Solar System and rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets. It has no natural satellite. It is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. It is the second-brightest natural object in the night sky after the Moon, reaching an apparent magnitude of -4.6, bright enough to cast shadows. Because Venus is an inferior planet from Earth, it never appears to venture far from the Sun; its elongation reaches a maximum of 47.8 Celsius.
Venus is a terrestrial planet and is sometimes called Earth's "sister planet" because of their similar size, mass, proximity to the Sun, and bulk composition. It is radically different from Earth in other respects. It has the densest atmosphere of the four terrestrial planets, consisting of more than 96% carbon dioxide. The atmospheric pressure at the planet's surface is 92 times that of Earth.
Much of the Venusian surface appears to have been shaped by volcanic activity. Venus has several times as many volcanoes as Earth, and it has 167 large volcanoes that are over 100 km across. The only volcanic complex of this size on Earth is the Big Island of Hawaii. This is not because Venus is more volcanically active than Earth, but because its crust is older. Earth's oceanic crust is continually recycled by subduction at the boundaries of tectonic plates, and has an average age of about 100 million years, whereas the Venusian surface is estimated to be 300-600 million years old.
In 2008 and 2009, the first direct evidence for ongoing volcanism was observed by Venus Express, in the form of four transient localised infrared hot spots within the rift zone Ganis Chasma, near the shield volcano Maat Mons. Three of the spots were observed in more than one successive orbit. These spots are thought to represent lava freshly released by volcanic eruptions. The actual temperatures are not known, because the size of the hot spots could not be measured, but are likely have been in the 800-1100 K range, relative to a normal temperature of 740 K.
Without seismic data or knowledge of its moment of inertia, little direct information is available about the internal structure and geochemistry of Venus.
The similarity in size and density between Venus and Earth suggests they share a similar internal structure: a core, mantle, and crust. Like that of Earth,
the Venusian core is at least partially liquid because the two planets have been cooling at about the same rate.
The slightly smaller size of Venus means pressures are 24% lower in its deep interior than Earth's. The principal difference between the two planets
is the lack of evidence for plate tectonics on Venus, possibly because its crust is too strong to subduct without water to make it less viscous.
This results in reduced heat loss from the planet, preventing it from cooling and providing a likely explanation for its lack of an internally
generated magnetic field. Instead, Venus may lose its internal heat in periodic major resurfacing events.
In 1967, Venera 4 found the Venusian magnetic field to be much weaker than that of Earth. This magnetic field is induced by an interaction between
the ionosphere and the solar wind, rather than by an internal dynamo in the core like the one inside Earth. Venus's small induced magnetosphere
provides negligible protection to the atmosphere against cosmic radiation. This radiation may result in cloud-to-cloud lightning discharges.
The lack of an intrinsic magnetic field at Venus was surprising given it is similar to Earth in size, and was expected also to contain a dynamo
at its core. A dynamo requires three things: a conducting liquid, rotation, and convection. The core is thought to be electrically conductive
and, although its rotation is often thought to be too slow, simulations show it is adequate to produce a dynamo. This implies the dynamo is
missing because of a lack of convection in the Venusian core.
Venus orbits the Sun at an average distance of about 0.72 AU (108,000,000 km; 67,000,000 mi), and completes an orbit every 224.7 days.
Although all planetary orbits are elliptical, Venus's orbit is the closest to circular, with an eccentricity of less than 0.01.
When Venus lies between Earth and the Sun in inferior conjunction, it makes the closest approach to Earth of any planet at an average
distance of 41 million km.
The planet reaches inferior conjunction every 584 days, on average. Because of the decreasing eccentricity
of Earth's orbit, the minimum distances will become greater over tens of thousands of years. From the year 1 to 5383, there are 526 approaches
less than 40 million km; then there are none for about 60,158 years.

Hangout is a plateform designed to connect people with each other based on location and activity. We strive to create a hub for all people of any interest and age group to be able to find an activity that is local for the user. We hope that through the use of our site people will be able to connect with others of similar interest and form new connections within your own city.
Personas and Storyboards
Personas and storyboards were created in order for the team to best understand the user's needs. Different scenarios were created to make sure that Hangout would cater to a certain group of individuals. At first, we targeted teenagers who would most likely be bored on their spare time. After creating different personas and scenarious, we realized that the age group could even expand to working adults. This was a valuable piece of information for us because it led us to realize that although our website is able to cater to a wide range of age group, it is still limited to a specific category of people who just want to hangout on their free time.
The Hangout logo graphic originated from the idea of wanting people to meet and interact. As shown below, the logo has progressed from being sketches to a full on design. Different versions (such as the black and white, color-filled, and inverted color) were created in order for us to see what would be best visually. We wanted something that was simple yet eye-catching for people to remember.

Nate Diaz: Jorge Masvidal rematch is ‘only thing I want’ but I see UFC ‘f—kery coming’
by Milan OrdoñezAfter the third-round doctor stoppage of the UFC 244 headliner between Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz, both fighters called for an immediate rematch. UFC president Dana White, however, has some other plans for “Gamebred”, stating during a post-fight scrum that an instant part two doesn’t interest him as of the moment.
But for the younger Diaz brother, running it back with Masvidal is the only fight he’s looking to take, next.
“If you’re the baddest motherf—r you’re gonna take that as a win? It’s just like when I fought Conor (the second time),” Diaz told reporters during his post-fight scrum. “It was a win, and it was fair game, but I wasn’t finished. He knows I wasn’t finished. I was ready to rock.
“That’s my plan. That’s my next move. I would love to run it back, that’s the only thing I want to do. And that’s my full intention for now.”
Even with the massive pull he’s brought over the years, Diaz still feels the company will do him wrong, in terms of his next career move.
“But I can already see the f-ckery coming,” he said. “I know how this game works. I gave all the rematches and made names for all these people.
“I believe I was responsible for this whole sh-t,” Diaz added. “I brought the President. Straight up. I didn’t see the President going to no title fights.”
UFC 244 marked Diaz’s second stoppage loss throughout his 12-year UFC run, as he now holds a record of 20-12 (with 16 wins by stoppage).

This function starts the internal help server, so that HTML help pages are rendered when requested.
startDynamicHelp(start = TRUE)
start |
logical: whether to start or shut down the dynamic help
system. If |
This function starts the internal HTTP server, which runs on the
loopback interface (<IP_ADDRESS>
). If options("help.ports")
is set to a vector of non-zero integer values, startDynamicHelp
will try
those ports in order; otherwise, it tries up to 10 random ports to
find one not in use. It can be disabled by setting the environment
variable R_DISABLE_HTTPD to a non-empty value or options("help.ports")
to 0
.
startDynamicHelp
is called by functions that need to use the
server, so would rarely be called directly by a user.
Note that options(help_type = "html")
must be set to actually
make use of HTML help, although it might be the default for an R
installation.
If the server cannot be started or is disabled,
help.start
will be unavailable and requests for HTML
help will give text help (with a warning).
The browser in use does need to be able to connect to the loopback
interface: occasionally it is set to use a proxy for HTTP on all
interfaces, which will not work – the solution is to add an exception
for <IP_ADDRESS>
.
The chosen port number is returned invisibly (which will be 0
if the server has been stopped).

| keys_to_reserve | |
Generic Bulkloader import class for input->dict->model transformation. The bulkloader will call generate_records and create_entity, and we'll delegate those to the passed in methods.
| def google.appengine.ext.bulkload.bulkloader_config.GenericImporter.__init__ | ( | self, | |
| import_record_iterator, | |||
| dict_to_entity, | |||
| name, | |||
| reserve_keys | |||
| ) |
Constructor. Args: import_record_iterator: Method which yields neutral dictionaries. dict_to_entity: Method dict_to_entity(input_dict) returns model or entity instance(s). name: Name to register with the bulkloader importers (as 'kind'). reserve_keys: Method ReserveKeys(keys) which will advance the id sequence in the datastore beyond each key.id(). Can be None.
| def google.appengine.ext.bulkload.bulkloader_config.GenericImporter.create_entity | ( | self, | |
| values, | |||
key_name = None , |
|||
parent = None |
|||
| ) |
Creates entity/entities from input values via the dict_to_entity method. Args: values: Neutral dict from generate_records. key_name: record number from generate_key. parent: Always None in this implementation of a Loader. Returns: Entity or model instance, or collection of entity or model instances, to be uploaded.
| def google.appengine.ext.bulkload.bulkloader_config.GenericImporter.finalize | ( | self | ) |
Performs finalization actions after the upload completes. If keys with numeric ids were used on import, this will call AllocateIds to ensure that autogenerated IDs will not raise exceptions on conflict with uploaded entities.
| def google.appengine.ext.bulkload.bulkloader_config.GenericImporter.generate_key | ( | self, | |
| line_number, | |||
| unused_values | |||
| ) |
Bulkloader method to generate keys, mostly unused here. This is called by the bulkloader just before it calls create_entity. The line_number is returned to be passed to the record dict, but otherwise unused. Args: line_number: Record number from the bulkloader. unused_values: Neutral dict from generate_records; unused. Returns: line_number for use later on.
| def google.appengine.ext.bulkload.bulkloader_config.GenericImporter.generate_records | ( | self, | |
| filename | |||
| ) |
Iterator yielding neutral dictionaries from the connector object. Args: filename: Filename argument passed in on the command line. Returns: Iterator yielding neutral dictionaries, later passed to create_entity.
| def google.appengine.ext.bulkload.bulkloader_config.GenericImporter.get_keys_to_reserve | ( | self | ) |
Required as part of the bulkloader Loader interface. At the moment, this is not actually used by the bulkloader for import; instead we will reserve keys if necessary in finalize. Returns: List of keys to reserve, currently always [].
| def google.appengine.ext.bulkload.bulkloader_config.GenericImporter.initialize | ( | self, | |
| filename, | |||
| loader_opts | |||
| ) |
Performs initialization. Merely records the values for later use. Args: filename: The string given as the --filename flag argument. loader_opts: The string given as the --loader_opts flag argument.
