Demodulation¶
Module containing all the functions used in the demodulation process of a 16 QAM communication system.
Phase Locked Loop¶
-
demodulation.
PLL
(input_signal, Fs, lenght, N) Synchronizes the input carryer signal with the local oscillator to avoid crosstalk due to phase and frequency differences between TX and RX.
- Parameters
input_signal (1D array of floats) – Complex signal received at the input of the demodulator.
Fs (float) – Sampling frequency.
lenght (int) – Lenght of the output vector.
N (int) – Samples per period of the sinusuidal wave.
- Returns
cos_out (1D array of floats) – Cosine wave synchronized with the input signal.
sin_out (1D array of floats) – Sine wave synchronized with the input signal.

Mixer¶
After the synchronization, the output of the PLL will mix the IF signal. Let’s say s(t) is the IF signal, and will be mixed by a cosine wave already synchronized.
s(t) is composed by the symbols in-phase (a_i) mixed with a cosine and the symbols in quadrature (a_q) mixed with a sine. Expanding s(t):
The mixing process will result in a baseband signal with high frequency components:
Low Pass Filter¶
Since the only thing that’s important at this point is the baseband signal, a LPF will filter the high frequency components.
-
demodulation.
LPF
(signal, fc, Fs) Low pass filter, Butterworth approximation.
- Parameters
signal (1D array of floats) – Signal to be filtered.
fc (float) – Cutt-off frequency.
Fs (float) – Sampling frequency.
- Returns
signal_filt (1D array of floats) – Filtered signal.
W (1D array of floats) – The frequencies at which ‘h’ was computed, in Hz.
h (complex) – The frequency response.
import numpy as np
import scipy.signal as sig
from math import pi
def LPF(signal, fc, Fs):
o = 5 # order of the filter
fc = np.array([fc])
wn = 2*fc/Fs
[b, a] = sig.butter(o, wn, btype='lowpass')
[W, h] = sig.freqz(b, a, worN=1024)
W = Fs*W/(2*pi)
signal_filt = sig.lfilter(b, a, signal)
return(signal_filt, W, h)
Matched Filter¶
-
demodulation.
matched_filter
(signal, template) Convolutes the baseband signal with the template of the impulse response used in the modulator (Square Root Raised Cossine) to increase the SNR.
- Parameters
signal (1D array of floats) – Baseband signal to be filtered.
template (1D array of floats) – Impulse response of the filter used at the signal shaping block
- Returns
signal_filt – Filtered signal.
- Return type
1D array of floats
import numpy as np
def matched_filter(signal, template):
signal_filt = np.convolve(signal, template, 'full')
return(signal_filt)
Downsampler¶
-
demodulation.
downsampler
(signal, packet_s, upsampler_f) The algorithm analizes the synchronization symbols and tries to find the sample where the value of the symbol is maximum. After that, is possible to estimate in which sample the information begins to appear on the signal (i.e. detects the delay)
- Parameters
signal (1D array of floats) – Baseband signal.
packet_s (int) – Number of bits in the transmitted packet.
upsampler_f (int) – Upsampler factor used at the modulator.
- Returns
symbols – The sampled symbols.
- Return type
1D array of floats
def downsampler(signal, packet_s, upsampler_f):
e = 0
gardner_e = []
peak_sample = 0
peak_sample_acc = []
low_point = 0
threshold = 4
for i in range(len(signal)):
if signal[low_point] < -threshold:
if signal[i] > threshold:
e = (abs(signal[(i+1)]) -
abs(signal[i-1])) * abs(signal[i])
gardner_e.append(e)
if e > 0.8:
peak_sample = peak_sample + 1
peak_sample_acc.append(peak_sample)
elif e < -0.8:
peak_sample = peak_sample - 1
peak_sample_acc.append(peak_sample)
else:
break
else:
peak_sample = peak_sample + 1
peak_sample_acc.append(peak_sample)
else:
low_point = low_point + 1
peak_sample = peak_sample + 1
peak_sample_acc.append(peak_sample)
# 450 is the number of samples before the convergence symbol of the algorithm.
cut_i = peak_sample - 450
cut_f = cut_i + int((packet_s/4)*upsampler_f)
print("Cut_i = ", cut_i)
print("Cut_f = ", cut_f)
# For the code to still work, even when there is a big BER, this secction is required.
if cut_i > 730:
signal = signal[261:2306+510]
elif cut_i < 690:
signal = signal[261:2306+510]
else:
signal = signal[cut_i:cut_f]
symbols = signal[slice(0, len(signal), upsampler_f)]
return(symbols)
Demapper¶
-
demodulation.
demapper
(symbols_I, symbols_Q, packetSize, threshold=3.0) - Generates an array of bits using the values based on the 16QAM indexing vector.
If the symbol amplitude is between 0 and the threshold, it correponds to the bits 10, if it’s greater than the threshold, it corresponds to the sequence 11.
If the symbol amplitude is between 0 and -threshold, it correponds to the bits 01, if it’s lower than -threshold, it corresponds to the sequence 00.
After the recovery of the bits, both vectors (I and Q) are merged, genereting the output bit stream.
- Parameters
symbols_I (1D array of floats) – Downsampled in-phase symbols.
symbols_Q (1D array of floats) – Downsampled quadrature symbols.
packetSize (int) – Number of bits in the transmitted packet.
threshold (float, optional) – The limit between two symbols in the 16QAM constellation. The default value is 3.
- Returns
bitstream – Bits transmitted.
- Return type
1D array of ints

WEEK 1 TUESDAY
Year 1 (Year 2)
FIRST READING Hebrews 2:5-12
A reading from the Letter to the Hebrews
It was not to angels that God subjected the world
to come, of which we are speaking. It has been testified somewhere, "What is
man that you are mindful of him, or the son of man, that you care for him? You
made him for a little while lower than the angels, you
have crowned him with glory and honour, putting everything in subjection under
his feet." Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing
outside his control. As it is, we do not yet see everything in subjection to
him. But we see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels,
crowned with glory and honour because of the suffering of death, so that by the
grace of God he might taste death for every one. For it was fitting that he,
for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should
make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through suffering. For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified have all one
origin. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying, "I
will proclaim your name to my brethren, in the midst of the congregation I will
praise you!"
The word of the Lord
RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 8:2ab and 5.6-7a.7b-9 (R. cf. 7a)
R. You have given your Son power over the works of your hands.
O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name through
all the earth! What is man that you should keep him in mind, the son of man
that you care for him?
R. You have given your Son power over the works of
your hands.

R. You have given your Son power over the works of
your hands.
You put all things under his feet. All of them,
sheep and oxen, yes, even the cattle of the fields, birds of the air, and fish
of the sea that make their way through the waters.
R. You have given your Son power over the works of
your hands.
FIRST READING 1 Samuel 1:9-20
A reading from the first Book of Samuel
In those days: After they had eaten and drunk in
The word of the Lord
RESPONSORIAL PSALM 1 Samuel 2:1.4-5.6-7.8abcd (R. see 1a)
R. My heart exults in the Lord, my Saviour.
My heart exults in the LORD; my strength is exalted
in the LORD.
R. My heart exults in the Lord, my Saviour.
The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble
gird on strength. Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, but
those who were hungry have ceased to hunger. The barren has borne seven, but
she who has many children is forlorn.
R. My heart exults in the Lord, my Saviour.
The LORD
kills and brings to life; he brings down to Sheol and
raises up. The LORD makes poor and makes rich; he
brings low, he also exalts.
R. My heart exults in the Lord, my Saviour.
He raises up the poor from
the dust; he lifts the needy from the dung heap, to make them sit with princes
and inherit a seat of honour.
R. My heart exults in the Lord, my Saviour.
ALLELUIA See 1 Thessalonians 2:13
R. Alleluia. Accept the word of God, not as the word of men, but as what it really is, the word of God. R. Alleluia.

The MSF File Format¶
The Superblock¶
At file offset 0 in an MSF file is the MSF SuperBlock, which is laid out as follows:
struct SuperBlock {
char FileMagic[sizeof(Magic)];
ulittle32_t BlockSize;
ulittle32_t FreeBlockMapBlock;
ulittle32_t NumBlocks;
ulittle32_t NumDirectoryBytes;
ulittle32_t Unknown;
ulittle32_t BlockMapAddr;
};
- FileMagic - Must be equal to
"Microsoft C / C++ MSF 7.00\\r\\n"
followed by the bytes1A 44 53 00 00 00
. - BlockSize - The block size of the internal file system. Valid values are 512, 1024, 2048, and 4096 bytes. Certain aspects of the MSF file layout vary depending on the block sizes. For the purposes of LLVM, we handle only block sizes of 4KiB, and all further discussion assumes a block size of 4KiB.
- FreeBlockMapBlock - The index of a block within the file, at which begins
a bitfield representing the set of all blocks within the file which are “free”
(i.e. the data within that block is not used). This bitfield is spread across
the MSF file at
BlockSize
intervals. Important:FreeBlockMapBlock
can only be1
or2
! This field is designed to support incremental and atomic updates of the underlying MSF file. While writing to an MSF file, if the value of this field is 1, you can write your new modified bitfield to page 2, and vice versa. Only when you commit the file to disk do you need to swap the value in the SuperBlock to point to the newFreeBlockMapBlock
. - NumBlocks - The total number of blocks in the file.
NumBlocks * BlockSize
should equal the size of the file on disk. - NumDirectoryBytes - The size of the stream directory, in bytes. The stream directory contains information about each stream’s size and the set of blocks that it occupies. It will be described in more detail later.
- BlockMapAddr - The index of a block within the MSF file. At this block is
an array of
ulittle32_t
’s listing the blocks that the stream directory resides on. For large MSF files, the stream directory (which describes the block layout of each stream) may not fit entirely on a single block. As a result, this extra layer of indirection is introduced, whereby this block contains the list of blocks that the stream directory occupies, and the stream directory itself can be stitched together accordingly. The number ofulittle32_t
’s in this array is given byceil(NumDirectoryBytes / BlockSize)
.
The Stream Directory¶
The Stream Directory is the root of all access to the other streams in an MSF file. Beginning at byte 0 of the stream directory is the following structure:
struct StreamDirectory {
ulittle32_t NumStreams;
ulittle32_t StreamSizes[NumStreams];
ulittle32_t StreamBlocks[NumStreams][];
};
And this structure occupies exactly SuperBlock->NumDirectoryBytes
bytes.
Note that each of the last two arrays is of variable length, and in particular
that the second array is jagged.
Example: Suppose a hypothetical PDB file with a 4KiB block size, and 4 streams of lengths {1000 bytes, 8000 bytes, 16000 bytes, 9000 bytes}.
Stream 0: ceil(1000 / 4096) = 1 block
Stream 1: ceil(8000 / 4096) = 2 blocks
Stream 2: ceil(16000 / 4096) = 4 blocks
Stream 3: ceil(9000 / 4096) = 3 blocks
In total, 10 blocks are used. Let’s see what the stream directory might look like:
struct StreamDirectory {
ulittle32_t NumStreams = 4;
ulittle32_t StreamSizes[] = {1000, 8000, 16000, 9000};
ulittle32_t StreamBlocks[][] = {
{4},
{5, 6},
{11, 9, 7, 8},
{10, 15, 12}
};
};
In total, this occupies 15 * 4 = 60
bytes, so SuperBlock->NumDirectoryBytes
would equal 60
, and SuperBlock->BlockMapAddr
would be an array of one
ulittle32_t
, since 60 <= SuperBlock->BlockSize
.
Note also that the streams are discontiguous, and that part of stream 3 is in the middle of part of stream 2. You cannot assume anything about the layout of the blocks!
Alignment and Block Boundaries¶
As may be clear by now, it is possible for a single field (whether it be a high
level record, a long string field, or even a single uint16
) to begin and
end in separate blocks. For example, if the block size is 4096 bytes, and a
uint16
field begins at the last byte of the current block, then it would
need to end on the first byte of the next block. Since blocks are not
necessarily contiguously laid out in the file, this means that both the consumer
and the producer of an MSF file must be prepared to split data apart
accordingly. In the aforementioned example, the high byte of the uint16
would be written to the last byte of block N, and the low byte would be written
to the first byte of block N+1, which could be tens of thousands of bytes later
(or even earlier!) in the file, depending on what the stream directory says.


Thank you so much for everything you did for us at our wedding. You and Annette were an indispensable source of knowledge on the day of, and events leading up to the wedding, in addition to providing us with amazing photos. Photography isn't something we would have prioritized had we been left to our own devices, but now we see what a mistake that would have been. And although we are both very private people, sharing those special moments with the two of you, and trusting your professional judgement, yielded some awesome results. Thank you for being there to preserve our memories, it truly means the world to us now. With Gratitude
We LOVE LOVE the photos!!!  We are so lucky to have found you and have you in our lives.  We have the family photo up and our family is just amazed at how fast you pulled that together! Countless numbers of guests complimented you over and over again! I could write on and on.
Klick2easy photographer was incredibly good at putting everyone at ease and getting them to smile genuine smiles. Unbelievably, my oldest daughter, whose eyes are closed in almost every picture I take of her, has her eyes wide open in all but one of hundreds of photos photographer took. And he even got my mother to smile with her teeth visible (probably the first time I've ever seen that on film). The images are beautiful and the moments captured just perfect. It's hard to believe that these are unedited. I will have a very hard time selecting among the photos to make an album. I'm dreading having to make choices! Oh, and I was totally stunned by the gorgeous photo Jeff printed and framed in time for our evening celebration! I love it and have already hung it on the wall. Jeff just goes above and beyond. If he isn't available on the date my youngest is assigned for her bat mitzvah, we will have to change synagogues to obtain a date that works for him!

February 18
Sin Stained...or Blood Washed?
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Hebrews 10:16-17
The Bible tells us that under Levitical law, an animal had to be offered every year to atone for the sins of the people. That word atone means "to cover" and it's used continually throughout the Old Testament.
But let me tell you something exciting. It's never used in the New Testament. The Greek word used to describe what Jesus did for us on the Cross is a different word altogether. It doesn't just mean "to cover"--it means "to remit; to do completely away with something."
Do you know what that means? It means there is no longer a sin problem. Jesus solved it!
When you made Him your Lord, He didn't just cover your sins, He put you into right standing with God and recreated you by the Spirit of God as if sin had never existed.
Many believers haven't fully grasped that magnificent truth.  Do you keep thinking of yourself as sin stained instead of blood washed?
"Well, after all Brother Copeland, I'm just an old sinner saved by grace."
No, you're not. You were an old sinner, but grace changed you forever into the very righteousness of God. You are now His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus! As far as God is concerned, your past life is forgotten. It died the death of the Cross.
Think about that. Let it sink into your consciousness until you rise up boldly and receive the freedom from sin that's yours in Christ Jesus. Receive the righteousness that only the Lamb of God can give.

Guild Wars 2
Dimensional Ark Bishops [ANK]
Server: Gate of Madness
Rep requirement: None
We are a small, casual guild. Players who have less time to play or are new to the game are given priority when we decide what we are doing each night. Currently, our only planned events are Fractals/Dungeons and (attempted) Raids on Tuesdays, and Guild Missions on Thursdays.  Overall, we are very flexible in what we do and never back down from a challenge.
We like to think outside the box. We experiment with builds and challenge the general meta. Being a small group and having played many games, we have come to rely on each other and have become self sufficient and well coordinated. We like to improve our builds by fighting in our guild hall and also looking for the best stat combos that compliment the desired function of the build in question. Most events and champs are not a problem for us.
Since we use Discord, even when not on the same game at a given time, we enjoy just hanging out.
We are currently recruiting players of all skill levels and professions. If you are interested feel free to join us on Discord.
If you are interested, please feel free to join us in Discord, you can get to know us and see if we really are the kind of group you are looking for.

 Potatoes are thinly sliced, seasoned, and baked in a creamy sauce. Who wouldn’t love these?
There is a thought that when you make dishes that are low in fat, your’re giving up on the flavor. For this dish, I wanted the same amazing taste but with less calories. I came across Swanson’s Low Fat Cream Starter and when using it in my recipe, I was able the dish the flavor I wanted and it was lower in calories than my original version I’ve made! Plus, it helps that Swanson’s TM is well seasoned, so you do not even have to deal with any additional seasonings.
Now, I think the secret to making homemade scalloped potatoes is slicing the potatoes very thin. I like to use a mandolin to get my potatoes nice and thin. You can use a good sharp knife, both will do. I think lightly seasoning the layers with a sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper makes these even better.

 These are so tasty you won't even miss the butter and cream.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Russet potatoes
- Non-stick spray
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (26.1 ounces) box Low Fat Swanson's Cream Starter TM
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, optional
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wash potatoes, and if desired peel before slicing. Spray an 8 x 8 inch baking dish with non-stick spray. Layer potatoes into baking dish, overlapping each slice over the previous one. When the bottom of the pan is covered, lightly season with salt and pepper. Continue layers until all of the potatoes are in the pan. Pour Swanson's Low Fat Cream Starter over the potatoes. Bake potatoes for about 30 minutes. Sprinkle cheese on potatoes and bake until the cheese is melted. Enjoy!

At the end of March of 2006 I had a seizure that was caused by a brain tumor. In April I underwent surgery to have the tumor removed. After surgery I was prescribed hydrocodone (5mg pills to be taken about 1 every 6 hours as needed) and ibuprofen (800mg pills to be taken as needed) for the pain (headaches and body aches).
At first I only took a very minimal amount of hydrocodone when ibuprofin alone did not ease the pain sufficiently. I was also prescribed a particular type of steroid to reduce swelling of the brain for the first 2 weeks following surgery. After the steroid regimen ended the headaches became more severe. Due to the severity of the pain I took 2 pills of hydrocodone (5mg each equaling 10mg). I noticed the pronounced (but not overwhelming) pleasant sensation from the hydrocodone. It is assumed that the reader is a least somewhat familiar with descriptions of opiate experiences. Although the hydrocodone experience is weak by comparison to other opiates, I found it pleasant.
Following this experience I would routinely keep the hydrocodone to a minimum for a few days and the take 2 or 3 one day for the pleasurable experience, then return to keeping it to a minimum for a few days, then 2 or 3 one day, and so on. There was a build up of tolerance almost immediately and I have never had an experience that was comparable to my first noticeably pleasant experience. I found that any more than 3 pills in about an 8 hour span usually resulted in a restless experience in which I found it difficult to just relax. Rather, I would get up to change the music, to go outside to get fresh air, go back inside, grab a book, go on the computer for a minute, get up again to go back outside, etc. I also would get itchy as is apparently common with hydrocodone according to what I have read in other people’s experiences.
For about a month I would alternate between taking one or no pills one day then taking 2 or 3 the next. I noticed an increasing build up of tolerance. Then I would take about 2 or 3 a day. By this time I found it difficult to abstain from taking any pills for a day or 2 but with willful effort I could abstain for a few days. However, many days I found myself taking one or two pills just to quiet the nagging yearning for them, even though I knew that one or two pills would be barely noticeable or not noticeable at all. Rather than taking them for a pleasant experience, I was taking them to avoid the unpleasant experience of not taking them.
In mid May, having sufficiently recovered from surgery, I returned to work. For that first work week I abstained from hydrocodone and stuck with ibuprofen when necessary for pain. The following weekend I took 3 on Saturday, 3 on Sunday, and another two on Monday. The next day I willfully abstained from taking any hydrocodone. That afternoon I felt pretty bad, like I was coming down with a case of the flu. I thought that this was probably due to withdrawal. I was at work and purposely had not brought any hydrocodone. If I had, I would probably have taken a single pill just to quiet the withdrawal symptoms. On Wednesday I took a single pill to avoid withdrawal. On Thursday I abstained and felt fine. On Friday I took a single pill. That was yesterday. Today I took a single pill in the early morning, saving the last few pills I had for late tonight with the intention of enjoying what would be my last session with these bothersome pills.
What follows is an account written as it occurred….
11:30pm
1 ibuprofen pill (800mg) swallowed
12:40am
No noticeable effects of ibuprofen taken over an hour ago. 1 hydrocodone pill (5mg) swallowed with gulp of coffee.
12:46am
1 hydrocodone pill (5mg) chewed in a small mouthful of coffee.
12:51am
Slightly noticeable effects of hydrocodone, perhaps only perceptible now that I am familiar with the sensations it produces in me.
1:00am (approximately)
Smoked a “bowl full” of dried herb Turnera diffusa (damiana)
1:08am
On top of the slightly noticeable hydrocodone effect, I have a noticeable light but warm buzz from the damiana similar to that of a small amount of cannabis. At one time I was a regular cannabis smoker and I am inclined to think that if I were a regular or even occasional smoker of cannabis the damiana would not be nearly as enjoyable or noticeable. I have not smoked cannabis in over a year and I have smoked very little in recent years so I can appreciate the damiana high for what it is, light but enjoyable.
1:15am
Chewed 2 hydrocodone pills (5mg each) with a small mouthful of coffee.
1:30am
The warm pleasant sensation from the hydrocodone is present and noticeable, though not nearly as strong as half the amount would be had I not developed a tolerance for it. I now chew my last 5mg hydrocodone pill immediately after swallowing 1 800mg pill of ibuprofin. This brings me up to a total of 5 pills of hydrocodone at 5mg each equaling 25mg total. I note a “weaving” effect not unlike that from being drunk. Music is more moving than usual. I am listening to a compilation of various old school dub music by the way.
2am (approximately)
I smoked another small bowl full of damiana. This augments the experience somewhat.
I am experiencing the slight tendency for rolling of the eyes, like what one may get when very drunk. This interferes only slightly with my internet surfing and the typing of this experience report. I have been sipping the strong coffee I have become accustomed to. I have found that spiking my brain waves with gently stimulating sips of coffee is enjoyable while experiencing the pleasant sedative hydrocodone effect.
2:15am
The tendency of wavy vision effect is more pronounced now, but still not very disruptive. I feel the gradual increase of sleepiness. I only barely feel the itchiness that even smaller doses of hydrocodone typically gives me.
3am
I notice that the experience is gradually declining. I am okay with the fact that I have no more of the pills. I am not looking forward to any withdrawal symptoms I may experience tomorrow and the days following, but I do not expect it to be very bad at all. If anything, it will be more of an issue with the boredom of total sobriety than anything physical but I will have to see over the course or the next few days. I do have a small amount of salvia herb that I can use to interrupt any opiate addiction symptoms if I find it necessary.
One Month Later
In the days following my last session with hydrocodone I didn’t really experience withdrawal symptoms. There was a slight nagging boredom with sobriety, especially when at work and there were occasional headaches. Although it was possible for me to obtain a prescription for more hydrocodone I did not seek to get one. It is now a month after my last hydrocodone session and I feel that it is better to abstain from such pills as hydrocodone, vicoden and percacet.
Looking back I regret that I did not experiment with the use of Salvia divinorum to interrupt my opiate habit as recent pharmacological research indicates that there is a potential for just such a use with Salvia.
 I would then see if I could interrupt the otherwise irresistible urge to use up the remaining hydrocodone pills. I can only speculate as to the effectiveness of such an experiment. Here are some links to research papers concerning Salvia divinorum’s potantial for treating opiate and other addictions…

Publicly traded companies in the US must file important investor notices (8-K) quarterly reports (10-Q), yearly reports (10-K), and any other publicly available reports to the SEC. These filings contain important information about a company's finances, including their income statements and balance sheets.
The report contents are not parsed in any way. The contents range from plain text to XBRL structured data format. For more information about the SEC and structured data formats, please visit the SEC's Office of Structured Disclosure webpage.
SEC filing data is a linked data source. This means filing data is tied to the underlying equity whenever possible. This linkage is performed by the ticker used at the time of the filing. To add the right data to your strategy, you should use the equity symbol when you request SEC data.
# We must import any custom data that we want to use from QuantConnect.Data.Custom.SEC import * # Request underlying equity data. aapl = qb.AddEquity("AAPL") # Add SEC 10-Q (quarterly report) filings for Apple aapl_10Q = qb.AddData(SECReport10Q, aapl) # Add SEC 10-K (yearly report) filings for Apple aapl_10K = qb.AddData(SECReport10K, aapl) # Add SEC 8-K (investor notices) filings for Apple aapl_8K = qb.AddData(SECReport8K, aapl)
We can then make requests for AAPL's historical price data and report data using qb.History
. History calls for alternative data sources are similar to history calls for price data. We can use either qb.History(Type, Symbol, StartDate, EndDate)
, where Type is the data type, Symbol is the symbol for which to retrieve data for, or we can use qb.History(Type, Symbol, Period)
, which returns historical data from the given past period starting from today's date.
# We request for 1000 days of data starting from today aapl_history = self.History(aapl.Symbol, timedelta(days=1000), Resolution.Daily) report_history = self.History(SECReport8K, aapl_8K.Symbol, timedelta(days=1000))
We can then analyze this data by plotting it. Let's analyze the performance of AAPL in the days after an 8-K report is released. Let's first plot the daily close values of AAPL.
# Format our chart plt.title(f'Stock price {n} days after 8-K report released (AAPL)') plt.xlabel('Date') plt.ylabel('Price') # Access the close column aapl_daily_close = aapl_history_daily['close'] # Foward fill missing data points and plot it as a transparant(alpha=0.2) line graph. aapl_daily_close.fillna(method='ffill').plot(alpha=0.2)
Then let's highlight the daily historical closes after an 8-K release by replotting those close values on top of the previous plot.
# For every date that an 8-K is released for date in report_history.index.levels[1]: start_time = date end_time = date + timedelta(days=20) aapl_history_daily.loc[start_time:end_time]['close'].plot() # Plot the historical close values 20 days after

When opening a web page in Rss Bandit, Rss Bandit uses an internal web browser to display the page. In order to configure the security for this browser, go to the Tools menu and select Options to bring up the Options dialog. Click on the Web Browser tab to bring up the dialog you see in figure 1.
Figure 1. Web Browser Dialog
The image displays the default settings in Rss Bandit. Please note that changing any of these settings will be active immediately only on new Browser Tabs, or on any Browser tab after restarting the application (section named Security, Restrictions).
Section On Link Clicked and New Window controls the behavior of Rss Bandit, if you clicked a web link or the link target needs to be opened in a new window. Option Open a new Tab is the default and recommended selection. Any other option delegates the security handling to the called programs, either your configured Default Web Browser or the executable to be started!
If you choose to change these settings, do so at your own risk. Following table is a description of each setting in section Security, Restrictions.
| Setting | Description | Risk |
| Javascript allowed | Enables/disables whether Javascript in the page will execute. | Allowing Javascript to run also allows
those annoying pop-up ads to run. Un-trusted sites have been known to
use Javascript to spoof a trusted web site login in an attempt to gain
your user name and password. Low Risk. |
| ActiveX Controls allowed | Enables/disables whether embedded ActiveX controls will be downloaded and execute. | Although ActiveX controls can provide
a rich user experience, they can also pose a huge security risk when run
from an un-trusted site. In the past, security flaws in Internet Explorer
have led to exploits via ActiveX controls. Medium to High Risk. |
| Java Applets allowed | Enables/disables whether Java applets will be downloaded and execute in the browser's Java Virtual Machine. | Java runs in a protected "SandBox"
and thus ostensibly cannot harm your system. However, in the past, security
flaws have been found in various browser JVM's such as Netscape that would
allow malicious code to affect a user's system. Low to Medium Risk. |
| Video allowed | Enables/disables whether embedded video clips (Real video, windows media file, QuickTime, etc...) will be downloaded and played. | Enabling this setting allows for embedded
videos within a web page to play via "helper" applications registered
for the video. Examples of "helper" applications are QuickTime,
Real Player, and Windows Media Player. I am not aware of any major security
risk in allowing videos, however pages with lots of video clips can take
a long time to download. Low Risk |
| Background Sounds allowed | Enables/disables whether embedded audio clips (Real audio, windows media file, MP3, etc...) will be downloaded and played. | Enabling this setting allows for embedded
audio clips within a web page to play via "helper" applications
registered for the audio content. Examples of "helper" applications
are Winamp, Real Player, and Windows Media Player. I am not aware of any
major security risk in allowing audio, however pages with lots of audio
clips can take a long time to download. Low Risk |
| Downloading of images allowed | Enables/disables whether images are downloaded and displayed in the browser. | If enabled, images within a web page
are downloaded by the browser. If disabled, the spot where an image would
appear remains blank. There is no security risk to allowing images, but
disabling them will allow a page to download and render more quickly.
No Risk. |

CMSIS-RTOS RTX
Version 4.74
CMSIS-RTOS RTX: Real-Time Operating System for Cortex-M processor-based devices
|
This manual describes the CMSIS-RTOS implementation based on the Keil RTX Real-Time Operating System which is designed for Cortex-M processor-based devices. The RTX kernel can be used for creating applications that perform multiple tasks simultaneously. These tasks are executed by threads that operate in a quasi-parallel fashion.
While it is certainly possible to create real-time applications without an RTOS (by executing one or more tasks in a loop), there are numerous scheduling, maintenance, and timing issues that can be solved better with an RTOS. For example, an RTOS enables flexible scheduling of system resources like CPU and memory, and offers methods to communicate between threads.
CMSIS-RTOS RTX programs are written using standard C/C++ constructs and are compiled with the ARMCC, GCC, or IAR Compiler. The cmsis_os.h header file defines the RTX functions and macros that allow declaring tasks and accessing all RTOS features easily.
This manual contains the following sections:
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| V4.74 | Corrected: osKernelInitialize and osKernelStart when called from main which is already a thread. |
| V4.73 | Corrected: mutex priority inversion when thread owns more than one mutex. Added: RTX extensions os_suspend and os_resume. Added: RTX os_error template. |
| V4.72 | Corrected: object initialization when defined inside function (allocated on stack and not as static memory). |
| V4.71 | Corrected: osMailFree behaviour when osMailAlloc timed out. |
| V4.70 | Added: New control functions for short timeouts in microsecond resolution osKernelSysTick, osKernelSysTickFrequency, osKernelSysTickMicroSec. Removed: osSignalGet. |
| V4.61 | Enhanced: osTimerCreate can now be called after osKernelInitialize (before only after osKernelStart). Corrected: Initialization of alternative kernel timer for Cortex-M0/M0+/M1 (when SysTick timer is not used). Corrected: Message/Mail Queue behavior when timeout expires. |
| V4.51 | Corrected: problem with osKernelInitialize when after the call high priority threads are defined. |
| V4.50 | Based on CMSIS-RTOS API Version 1.01 and the classic RTX V4.50 Kernel. Added: osTimerDelete, osMutexDelete, osSemaphoreDelete. Added: osKernelInitialize that prepares the Kernel for object creation. Added: support for Low Power Cortex-M applications based on new configuration functions: os_suspend, os_resume. Added: support for peripheral timer to be used as OS tick timer instead of Core SysTick timer. Corrected: stack checking did not work for os_tsk_delete_self function Preview Release. |
| V4.20 | Initial CMSIS-RTOS adaption of the RTX Kernel. |

Over the last decade, the center of world power has been quietly shifting from Europe to Asia. With oil reserves of several billion barrels, an estimated nine hundred trillion cubic feet of natural gas, and several centuries’ worth of competing territorial claims, the South China Sea in particular is a simmering pot of potential conflict. The underreported military buildup in the area where the Western Pacific meets the Indian Ocean means that it will likely be a hinge point for global war and peace for the foreseeable future.
In Asia’s Cauldron, Robert D. Kaplan offers up a vivid snapshot of the nations surrounding the South China Sea, the conflicts brewing in the region at the dawn of the twenty-first century, and their implications for global peace and stability. One of the world’s most perceptive foreign policy experts, Kaplan interprets America’s interests in Asia in the context of an increasingly assertive China. He explains how the region’s unique geography fosters the growth of navies but also impedes aggression. And he draws a striking parallel between China’s quest for hegemony in the South China Sea and the United States’ imperial adventure in the Caribbean more than a century ago.
To understand the future of conflict in East Asia, Kaplan argues, one must understand the goals and motivations of its leaders and its people. Part travelogue, part geopolitical primer, Asia’s Cauldron takes us on a journey through the region’s boom cities and ramshackle slums: from Vietnam, where the superfueled capitalism of the erstwhile colonial capital, Saigon, inspires the geostrategic pretensions of the official seat of government in Hanoi, to Malaysia, where a unique mix of authoritarian Islam and Western-style consumerism creates quite possibly the ultimate postmodern society; and from Singapore, whose “benevolent autocracy” helped foster an economic miracle, to the Philippines, where a different brand of authoritarianism under Ferdinand Marcos led not to economic growth but to decades of corruption and crime.
At a time when every day’s news seems to contain some new story—large or small—that directly relates to conflicts over the South China Sea, Asia’s Cauldron is an indispensable guide to a corner of the globe that will affect all of our lives for years to come.

From Robert D. Kaplan, named one of the world’s Top 100 Global Thinkers by Foreign Policy magazine, comes a penetrating look at the volatile region that will dominate the future of geopolitical conflict.

Advance praise for Asia’s Cauldron
“Asia’s Cauldron is a perfect summation of the present turbulent moment in history, when the World War II security structure is beginning a rapid transformation. Kaplan engages the striking possibilities of where the current confrontation between China and Japan could lead, and underscores the point that this is a lot more significant than a simple border dispute.”—Paul Bracken, Yale University, author of The Second Nuclear Age
“Master global strategist Robert D. Kaplan turns his gaze to the bubbling heat of the South China Sea in his latest tour de force. Asia’s Cauldron deconstructs the extreme volatility of this enormous, dangerous, and vital maritime space.”—Admiral James Stavridis, United States Navy (Ret.), dean of the Fletcher School at Tufts University and Supreme Allied Commander of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, 2009–2013
Robert David Kaplan (born June 23, 1952 in New York City) is an American journalist, currently a National Correspondent for The Atlantic magazine and a writer for Stratfor. His writings have also been featured in The Washington Post, The New York Times, The New Republic, The National Interest, Foreign Affairs and The Wall Street Journal, among other newspapers and publications, and his more controversial essays about the nature of US power have spurred debate in academia, the media, and the highest levels of government. Kaplan is the author of the influential article "The Coming Anarchy", published in The Atlantic Monthly in 1994. A frequent theme in his work is the reemergence of cultural and historical tensions temporarily suspended during the Cold War.
From March 2008 to spring 2012, Kaplan was a Senior Fellow at the Center for a New American Security in Washington.[1] He is currently working for Stratfor in Austin, TX. In 2009, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates appointed Kaplan to the Defense Policy Board, a federal advisory committee to the United States Department of Defense. In 2011, Foreign Policy magazine named Kaplan as one of the world's "top 100 global thinkers."
Kaplan grew up in Far Rockaway in a Jewish family, son of Philip Alexander Kaplan and Phyllis Quasha. Kaplan's father, a truck driver for the New York Daily News,[2] instilled in him an interest in history from an early age. He attended the University of Connecticut on a swimming scholarship and earned a BA in English (1973).
After graduating Kaplan applied unsuccessfully to several big-city newsrooms. He was a reporter for the Rutland Herald in Vermont before buying a one-way plane ticket to Tunisia. Over the next several years, he lived in Israel, where he joined the Israeli army,[2] traveled and reported on Eastern Europe and the Middle East, lived for some time in Portugal and eventually settled down in Athens, Greece, where he met his wife. He lives with his wife in Massachusetts.
Kaplan is not related to journalist Lawrence Kaplan, with whom he is occasionally confused. He is also sometimes confused with neoconservative scholar Robert Kagan.[3]
In addition to his journalism, Kaplan has been a consultant to the U.S. Army's Special Forces, the United States Marines, and the United States Air Force. He has lectured at military war colleges, the FBI, the National Security Agency, the Pentagon's Joint Chiefs of Staff, major universities, the CIA, and business forums, and has appeared on PBS, NPR, C-SPAN, and Fox News. He is a senior fellow at the Foreign Policy Research Institute. In 2001, he briefed President Bush. He is the recipient of the 2001 Greenway-Winship Award for Excellence in international reporting. In 2002, he was awarded the United States State Department Distinguished Public Service Award.
In 2006–08, Kaplan was a visiting professor at the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, where he taught a course entitled, "Future Global Security Challenges".[4] As of 2008 he is a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security.

I only discovered lately that my SATA drives were configured as IDE on my mother board’s BIOS. However, simply selecting AHCI instead of IDE in the BIOS makes it impossible to boot Windows 7 that will bluescreen.
Windows 7 supports AHCI natively, but the drivers a disabled if the drives are configured as IDE when you install. In order to make it work, you have to enable Windows 7’s AHCI drivers first, then configure the drives in the BIOS.
You can see if AHCI driver is enabled by looking in the Device Manager:
To enable Windows' drivers, you have to change a specific key in the registry. The steps are described on Microsoft’s support website.
Once it is done, reboot, go in the BIOS and configure the SATA drives as AHCI and let Windows boot. Once you are logged in, Windows will tell you that new hardware is being installed, and once it is done, it will ask for reboot. Reboot once more, and you're done!
You can go back to the Device Manager to witness that the driver is now enabled:


Students and young consumers
Helping borrowers understand their repayment options

Learn more about how the Payback Playbook can help you better manage your student debt
If you are having trouble with your student loan servicer (the company that sends you a bill each month), including problems getting information on ways to make your monthly payment more affordable, you can submit a complaint.
Inquiry into student loan servicing
In response to our public inquiry into student loan servicing practices, we received over 30,000 comments from the public, highlighting the costly surprises and runarounds some borrowers face when dealing with their servicers. We documented these widespread servicing failures reported by borrowers in our recent report, Student Loan Servicing.
We also joined the Department of Education and the Department of the Treasury to issue a series of joint principles that offers a roadmap to strengthen the student loan servicing market for all borrowers.
Paying for College
From start to finish, we can help you make informed financial decisions about paying for college.
Repay student debt
While we can’t give you advice for your exact situation, we can point you in the right direction.
Submit a student loan complaint
We’ll forward your issue to the company, give you a tracking number, and keep you updated on the status of your complaint.
Student banking and credit cards
Banking on campus
We’re helping students better understand their options when considering college sponsored checking accounts. We also posted a reminder on things to keep in mind to students that manage their scholarships and student loans on college sponsored accounts.
In December, we warned colleges to better disclose their credit card agreements to comply with the CARD Act so students and families can see the terms of the deals.
College credit card agreement database
We collect information on agreements between universities and credit card issuers. Check out the database. We also released a report to Congress highlighting trends in credit cards on college campuses.

Test: Correction
1. Listening Input and Report
- The first one is called "The Honeymoon" and can be described as the extremely good mood you are in when you first arrive at a new place.
- After that, I also noticed that Americans are extremely polite and friendly, which sometimes makes them appear fake.
2. Text
- Also, the overall frustration in America that goes hand in hand with every economical downturn is a big reason for voters to turn to the opposition, especially when the party in power seems to be unable not only to present their idea to the voters, but also seems to struggle with internal communication.
- First of all, I think that you and your party have done a lot for America within the last two years, and I am also positive that you did not deserve this wave election, but I also agree with some critical points I read in today's Newsweek
- Another advice I want to give you is to think about your party's image. The Democratic Party always seemed kind of chaotic to me, struggling with internal as well as external organization.
- How can you expect to communicate your message to millions of voters when even your closest colleagues have stopped listening to it.
3. Personal Account
- First of all, I experienced that host families are very interested in the Austrian culture, so be sure to visit America packed with knowledge. If you, however, are in a family that has already hosted several students and therefore already knows a lot about Austria (which happened to me), it is your task to ask questions and encourage conversation if you want to talk and improve your speaking.
- When you visit high school, one rule that is always important at school becomes fundamental: be polite.
- Places you must/should see include the Empire State Building (at night!), Central Park, Battery park (also at night, you have a beautiful view of New Jersey), Times Square and all the flagship shops, such as the ones by Nintendo, M&Ms, Toys'R'us and Hershey's.
Test: Comment
Regarding the comment: ... I tend to read sentences twice ...:
In the weeks before the test, I did a lot of research on American politics. I read articles, studied analysis and watched interviews. Because I came across a lot of useful phrases, the political texts almost wrote themselve.
Regarding the comment: ... I am starting to wonder whether you might have come across this phrase somewhere ...:
I think I read this phrase on some American blog, but I think that the article in which it was used was written in a very informal style. In fact, I think it was a rant rather than a real article, so the phrase might by colloquial or slang.
