Multivariate geographical characterisation of Slovak fruit distillates through mineral elements profile
Keywords:fruit distillate, mineral element, principal component analysis, discrimination
Mg, Ca, Zn, Cu, K and Na were determined in some species of Slovakian fruit distillates by atomic absorption spectrometry with the aim to differentiate the spirit drinks according to geographical origin. Potassium, sodium and copper were found as markers with the highest concentrations and variability in the distillates, namely in the apricot and grape brandy. Using the multivariate statistics of principal component and canonical discriminant analysis enabled relative effective differentiation of samples according to their regional origin. Prediction ability of the model resulted in more than 80% of correctly classified samples of the fruit distillates into the relevant Slovakian regions.

TM::Tau::Filter - Topic Maps, abstract filter class
 my $tm =... some map (or another filter)
 my $filter = new TM::Tau::Filter (left => $tm);
 $filter->sync_in; # this will pass on the sync in to the left operand
 # after that, the filter itself holds the result (which is a map)
 $filter->instances (....);
Filters are special maps in that their content depends on another map and a particular transformation to get the map result. If you consider the expression
 some_map.atm * some_transformation
then some_transformation is applied to the map coming from the map some_map.atm. This scheme can be expanded to the left:
 some_map.atm * some_transformation1 * some_transformation2
so that a whole chain of transformations can be applied to a map. The expression has to be interpreted left-associative, so as if written as
 (some_map.atm * some_transformation1) * some_transformation2
When you build a filter expression, then you have to respect this left-associativeness:
 my $map = new TM....;
 my $trafo1 = new TM::Tau::Filter (left => $map);
 my $trafo2 = new TM::Tau::Filter (left => $trafo1);
The variable $trafo2 then holds this expression, but nothing is actually computed at this stage. To trigger this process, the method sync_in can be used (read: apply). It will trigger the in-synchronisation of $trafo1 and that will pass it on to the $map. That will do something (or not) to ensure that the map is up-to-date relative to the resource it is possibly associated with. Once this is done, the filter $trafo1 will do its work. Once the result is available, $trafo2 will do its work.
Filters are not constrained in what they are doing. Some filters might only extract a particular portion out of a map. Others will make more complex conversions, say, to adapt to a different background ontology. Others will completely change the map, or compute new stuff from it. It is also possible to have transformers which actually do nothing, except than mediating between different formats a map is written in.
To specify what the transformation is supposed to do, you can either overload the method sync_in, or alternatively keep it and overload only transform:
 sub transform {
 my $self = shift; # this is the filter
 my $map = shift; # this is the left operand map
 .... # do whatever you need to do
 $result =..... # this might be your result
 return $result; # return it
Your result will be used as content for the filter (which is a map itself, remember). See TM::Tau::Filter::Analyze for an example.
The default transformation is the empty one, i.e. the map is simply passed through (not copied, btw).
The constructor of implementations should expect a hash as parameter with the following fields:
left (no default):
This must be an object of class TM. i.e. it can also be another filter.
url (default null:)
If the URL is missing here (filters are resourced maps), then it defaults to null:
$tm = $filter->left $filter->left ($tm)
This is an accessor (read and write) to get the left operand. In any case the left component is returned.
This retrieves the last modification time of the resource on which this filter operates on.
$tm2 = $filter->transform ($tm)
This method performs the actual transformation. If you develop your own filter, then this has to be overloaded. The default implementation here only hands back the same map (identity transformation).

The World Heritage Committee,
1. Having examined Documents WHC-12/36.COM/8B and WHC-12/36.COM/INF.8B1,
2. Inscribes the Heritage of Mercury. Almadén and Idrija, Slovenia, Spain, on the World Heritage List on the basis of criteria (ii) and (iv);
3. Adopts the following Statement of Outstanding Universal Value:
Mercury is a relatively rare metal, whose use has long been irreplaceable in a variety of technical, chemical and industrial processes. It has only been produced in substantial quantities and over a long period by a small number of mines worldwide, of which the two largest, until recent times, were at Almadén in Spain and Idrija in Slovenia. These two mining towns, whose origins date from ancient or Medieval times, demonstrate the lengthy period over which a socio-technical system of extraction specific to this metal was in operation, and the process of evolution it underwent. Controlling mercury extraction enabled control of the market, which very quickly became intercontinental in scope because of its decisive role in the extraction of silver from deposits in the New World. A heavy metal, which is liquid at room temperature and has very specific chemical and physical properties, mercury is also a pollutant, which is dangerous for human health. The two sites contain technical remains of large numbers of mine shafts, and their galleries and surface facilities, with artefacts which are specific to the extraction of mercury-bearing ores; they also include significant urban, monumental and infrastructure elements and material and symbolic materials associated with the life styles and social organisation of mercury extraction.
Criterion (ii): Mercury extraction took place in a very limited number of mines, of which the two largest were Almadén and Idrija. From the Renaissance period in Europe, the activity took on an international dimension. Its worldwide strategic importance increased steadily, particularly because of its role in the working of gold and silver mines in America. The interchanges were at once economic, financial and related to technical expertise.
Criterion (iv): The mining sites of Almadén and Idrija constitute the most important heritage left behind by the intensive extraction of mercury, particularly in the modern and contemporary periods. This dual testimony is unique, and it illustrates the various industrial, territorial, urban and social elements of a specific sociotechnical system in the mining and metal production industries.
The mining sites of Almadén and Idrija form a coherent whole with complementary components, satisfactorily illustrating all the technical, cultural and social aspects associated with mercury extraction. The elements are present in sufficient number to enable satisfactory interpretation. These are the two most significant sites for this activity to have been preserved, in terms of volumes produced, historical duration, and the completeness of the evidence provided. The integrity of the serial property has been justified.
At both sites, the presence of mining infrastructure elements both underground at on the surface, the presence of technical artefacts linked to mining extraction, its upstream needs (hydraulic energy, wood) and its conversion into "quicksilver" (furnaces), its transport and its storage are authentic. This also applies to the urban and monumental elements, and for the testimony to the miners' working conditions.
Protection and management requirements
The protection measures for the sites are satisfactory; in both cases they have led to municipal general plans of land use and the control of construction works projects which could affect the sites. These urban and rural planning measures also apply to the buffer zones. At Almadén however, the existence of projects which could have a visual impact on the property and the belated inclusion of the property and its boundaries in the municipal general plan demonstrate the need for closer cooperation between the municipal authorities and the property management entity. For both sites, a satisfactory local management system exists, and the overarching International Committee for the coordination of the serial property has demonstrated that it functions satisfactorily.
4. Recommends that the States Parties give consideration to the following:
a) Carrying out a thorough inventory of the technical and industrial heritage elements which are actually present, for the two sites, in order to ensure high-quality conservation and enhancement,
b) At Almadén, reinforcing the cooperation between the municipal authorities in charge of the General Plan and the property management authority,
c) At Almadén, confirming that maintaining the visual integrity of the property and its environment is properly taken into account with regard to the various urban projects being considered in the town. It is also necessary to inform the World Heritage Committee of such projects at a sufficiently early stage, in accordance with Article 172 of the Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention,
d) At Idrija, specifying the surface areas of the new buffer zones, following the recent redrawing of their boundaries (January 2012).

So, we've talked about what gothic lit it, and we've examined it.
Now it's time to dive into the sub-genres!
The first one: female gothic. For brevity, think the Brontes. For those of you who would like a more complete definition:
Female Gothic: Explores women's entrapment in the domestic sphere and subjection to patriarchal authority and the trangressive and dangerous attempts to subvert and escape these restrictions. The woman moves from innocence/childhood to maturity through the course of the novel.
Examples are, like I said, the Brontes. Wuthering Heights, Villette and Jane Eyre are prime examples of this, which we will explore over the next few days!
There is also a sense of the supernatural in these stories, which is different from "Regular" or "pure" gothic. All of the novels above, for example, have a ghost, or a supposed ghost, make an appearance (or many) in the novels.

Changing Contraception After An Accidental Pregnancy
No Comments
An unintended pregnancy can make you think again about contraception, particularly if it happened because you weren't using contraception every time, your condom failed or you forgot to take your pill. If you aren't sure you are using contraception as effectively as you could be, you might want to ask for contraception advice when you visit the private abortion clinic in London.
change-contraceptive-after-accidental-pregnancy
Finding Contraception That Suits You
If you have had problems with your current contraception, you might want to consider switching. Your doctor at the private abortion clinic in London can help you to decide which one will work best for you in the future. For example, if you find it difficult to pause to fit a condom, you might want to try using a diaphragm instead as it can be fitted some time before you start having sex. Another option might be a hormonal contraceptive, such as the pill. However, if you've already been using the pill and you've found it difficult to take it at the same time every day, there are some more convenient options.
Contraceptive Coils and Implants
You might want to consider having a coil or implant fitted. These tiny devices prevent pregnancy using the same kinds of hormones that are found in the contraceptive pill, but there is no need to remember to take them every day. Once the coil or implant is in place, you will be protected for several years. A coil or IUD can last for up to five years, while an implant can keep working for three years.
If you are having a surgical termination at the private abortion clinic in London, you can have a coil or implant inserted at the same time, so that you are protected right away. Your fertility will return to normal right after an abortion, so you will need to start using contraception as soon as you are having sex again.

Ever find yourself doing something without knowing exactly why? You might swat at a fly before you consciously realize it is there, or you might catch yourself scratching a bug bite you were trying to forget about. A new study published in Psychological Science could help explain why: half of the brain can be subliminally motivated while the other half is left in the dark.
Researchers at INSERM in Paris first measured how hard 33 subjects could squeeze a grip with each hand. Then they presented the subjects with images on a computer screen of either a one-euro coin or a one-cent coin. The coins were visible to only one eye at a time, and they appeared for only 17 milliseconds—long enough for subliminal, but not conscious, processing. After each coin image flashed, the subjects squeezed the grip with whatever hand they were holding it in—they were told they would win a fraction of the coin's value depending on the amount of effort they exerted. Each subject got to try all four possible combinations of eyes and hands: right eye with right or left hand and left eye with right or left hand.
Although the subjects could not correctly guess which coin they had seen—confirming that they were not conscious of what they saw—they squeezed harder when presented with the larger coin if the hand grip was on the same side of the body as the eye that had seen it. Their squeezes did not change depending on what the opposite eye saw, indicating that only half the brain was being motivated at a time. Motivation, therefore, is sometimes not only subconscious, explains co-author and INSERM cognitive neuroscientist Mathias Pessiglione, but it can also be "subpersonal," in that "one part of a person can be motivated while the other is not." So next time you are surprised to find yourself midaction, consider blaming it on the independent halves of your brain.

The beautiful Mysteries of Vernacular is a word-nerd's delight, a series of animations delving into the origin of words, using exquisite paper craft animation to spin an etymological yarn.
The animations are narrated in authoritative British, giving each story the feel of the 1970s show, Connections, in which science historian James Burke unwound the links between small moments in history and modern life. In this way, Mysteries of Vernacular, created by Myriapod Productions, lays out the connections between an ancient word for wolf, a triangular rake, a frame that held candles in funerals and, finally, a carriage (or car) that conveys coffins. All of these things come together to bring us the modern-day word hearse. Watch above.
The words covered so far are not in alphabetical order: assassin, clue, hearse and pants. Click on one of the videos for a beautifully non-linear story about how words shift and change as human societies do. There are connections, of course, between the early spelling and meaning of a word and its current use, but the journey from one iteration to another is the fun part—dotted with side trips through history.
The word clue, for example, was also spelled clew in ancient times and meant, of all things, a ball of yarn. If you know the story of Theseus, who was determined to slay the Minotaur at the center of the labyrinth, you might be able to figure out how a ball of yarn came to refer, more generally, to something used to solve a riddle or problem.
It may interest a few of you that the word vernacular has a shadowy story of its own to tell. Coming from the Latin word for a house slave born in their house of servitude, vernacular has come to mean native especially in the context of describing a language. Linguistic anthropologists, however, find the term offensive and prefer the phrase dialect.
According to Myriapod Productions, the Mysteries of Vernacular "will [ultimately] contain 26 etymological installments, one for each letter of the alphabet. Each episode takes more than 80 hours to create between the research, construction of the book, and animation."

The sexual dimorphism is striking in the splenium, the caudal or posterior portion of the corpus callosum. The female splenium is both more bulbous and larger than the male counterpart. Since peristriate, parietal, and superior temporal fibers course through the splenium, this finding could be related to possible gender differences in the degree of lateralization for visuospatial functions.

There's a perfect storm of global challenges impacting the food and beverage industry – ingredient shortages, rising energy prices, ongoing pandemic repercussions, war – and the baking industry stands at their crossroads. While the recent reopening of Ukraine's Black Sea ports to grain exports is a welcome development that might resolve some of the problems in shortages and global prices, many of us – including you, bakers, millers, bakery manufacturers – are still trying to stay ahead of the issues and anticipate what might come next.
Whether you are a flour miller or bakery ingredient manufacturer, the impact of raw material and ingredient shortages is acute. These are certainly one consequence of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. We know now that this will trigger both short and long-term disruption to global flour supply, harvest, and quality beyond 2022. But another key contributor is rebounding demand for certain ingredients in the wake of the pandemic. It's an encouraging shift that's happening more quickly than many expected. The result is a steep increase in costs that is hitting producers' bottom line as well as consumers' wallets.
At DSM we're working every day with bakery producers on solutions that can help reduce cost pressures. Ascorbic acid, for example, is an important ingredient to optimize functionality of gluten, but costs are extremely volatile right now. Our own ascorbic acid is one solution, and we also have alternative enzymes that can reduce the proportions in your recipes.
Similarly, a lipid shortage is contributing to higher prices for emulsifiers – important for dough conditioning. Customers looking into replacement of emulsifiers such as DATEM, SSL, and CSL could benefit from our Panamore® range of enzymes. They are well-proven in the market to help improve dough tolerance, baking performance, crumb structure, softness, and volume. Importantly, they deliver this while preserving the quality and consistency of the finished product – whether a baguette or a loaf of bread.
Vital wheat gluten is yet another ingredient significantly impacting overall cost price, and we're working with both flour millers and bakery ingredient manufacturers to reduce the amount of added gluten in their formulations. This can be accomplished in a number of ways, using a natural enzymatic solution or the tools to develop one, such as glucose oxidase or lipase. No singular solution fits every recipe, and there are always limitations to consider, which is why we work very closely with each customer to understand their specific needs.
Many of these challenges require a fast, agile response, and we share this sense of urgency. Still, it's important to problem solve with the bigger picture in mind. For example, we know that gluten reduction and emulsifier reduction cannot be done at the same time. The flour miller doing one and the bakery ingredient manufacturers doing the other will find that these conflict when their products come together in the bakery. This is another key reason to work together to solve our industry's challenges – we can all get stronger and smarter.
If there's one thing we have learned already in this situation, it's that we are interconnected – in good times and in these trying ones, too. Our goal remains to be a reliable partner that delivers as promised, whether with ingredient solutions or a fresh perspective that helps you break through roadblocks. I like to think of us as 'sparring partners' that can listen, challenge, and share the knowledge and experience gained over decades in the industry.
Reach out to me to discuss how DSM can help your business. I look forward to talking with you.
Our experts are always ready to help you

I bet everyone has that dream of dusting off that musical instrument, they bought years ago only to have it sit in storage, and finally get some lessons, especially as COVID has us vegetating at home anyways. Israeli company Tonara, the makers of the popular music practice app Tonara Studio, announced the launch of Tonara Connect, a music education marketplace that connects music teachers and students worldwide on a digital platform.
Technology around music education often looks to cut teachers out of the picture, while Tonara puts teachers right at the center. Tonara's app, Tonara Studio, launched in 2018, helps thousands of teachers stay connected and engaged with their students while motivating practice in between lessons.
"The future of music education is being driven by innovation, connectivity, and empowerment. We strive to deliver on all three in the products, content, and global communities that we build." - Cara Katzew, VP Marketing of Tonara.
While Tonara Studio helps teachers manage and motivate their students, the newly released Tonara Connect, allows music teachers to grow their studios by removing geographical limitations and making it easy for students from around the world to find them. This becomes especially prudent as many millions around the globe face quarantine or lock-down restrictions due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus, and find themselves with nothing to do.
On Connect, music teachers are able to create rich, professional profiles, showing potential students who they are, and how they can help them achieve their goals. Music students entering the marketplace can then find the teachers that match their music learning needs, and initiate lessons.
The marketplace currently boasts over 800 teachers and is growing every day, connecting people worldwide through music education on a digital platform.
"We have the potential to do something truly big here. Not just in scale, but in impact. We've all witnessed the power of music education, how it unites, and how it heals. This is something that everyone in the world should have access to and Tonara is here to reshape the future of music education and make that possible". - Tonara CEO, Ohad Golan.
The company was founded in 2008 by Yair Lavi and Evgeni Begelfor. To date, Tonara has raised almost $10 million as of last Series C funding round.

Casey '09 and Owen Publish Paper
"Good News, Bad News, and Consumer Confidence," by Greg Casey '09 and Henry Platt Bristol Professor of Economics of Ann Owen, was published in the March issue of Social Science Quarterly.
The paper examines how consumer confidence responds to changes in economic circumstances. According to Owen, "It finds that consumers respond asymmetrically to economic news, but it does not find evidence for a systematic negativity bias once you allow for consumers to respond differently to different news.
"For example, consumers have a strong negative reaction to increases in the unemployment rate, but not a corresponding positive reaction to decreases in the unemployment rate. However, they also react positively to decreases in gas prices, but there is no evidence that they react negatively to increases in gas prices.
The paper suggests that part of the explanation for these asymmetric reactions is that consumers respond to changes in economic fundamentals relative to their expectations."
The paper grew out of Casey's senior honors thesis in economics, which Owen supervised. Casey is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in economics at Brown University.

The impact of video games on adolescent behaviour is well studied, with literature reporting both negative and positive relationships. This paper demonstrates a link between video game playing and time to complete a manual task. We conclude that the playing of 1 hour of video games has a dramatic effect on assembly time, more than halving the time to assemble the equipment, from 8 seconds to 4 seconds.

For LDAP databases, the rename feature changes only the user's name, all other fields are left intact. In addition, the user's old name is still preserved so searches against the old name will still find the new entry.
When you rename a user entry, you can only change the user's name. You cannot use the rename feature to move the entry from one organizational unit to another. For example, suppose you have organizational units for Marketing and Accounting and an entry named "Billie Holiday" under the Marketing organizational unit. You can rename the entry from Billie Holiday to Doc Holiday, but you cannot rename the entry such that Billie Holiday under the Marketing organizational unit becomes Billie Holiday under the Accounting organizational unit.
ProcedureTo rename a user entry
 If you are using common name-based DNs, specify the user's full name. If you are using uid-based distinguished names, enter the new uid value that you want to use for the entry.
 3. Click Rename User.
 4. Change the Given Name, Surname, Full Name, or UID fields appropriately to match the new distinguished name for the entry.
 5. You can specify that the Administration Server no longer retains the old full name or uid values when you rename the entry by setting the keepOldValueWhenRenaming parameter to false. You can find this parameter in the following file:

Objective: The study objective was to evaluate whether a novel global position system (GPS)-like position-sensing technology will enable accurate co-registration of images between imaging modalities. Co-registration of images obtained by different imaging modalities will allow for comparison and fusion between imaging modalities, and therefore has significant clinical and research implications. We compared ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of carotid endarterectomy (CEA) specimens using a novel position-sensing technology that uses an electromagnetic (EM) transmitter and sensors mounted on a US transducer. We then evaluated in vivo US-US and US-MRI co-registration. Methods: Thirteen CEA specimens underwent 3.0 Tesla MRI, after which images were uploaded to a LOGIQ E9 3D (GE Healthcare, Wauwatosa, WI) US system and registered by identifying two to three common points. A similar method was used to evaluate US-MRI co-registration in patients with carotid atherosclerosis. For carotid intima-media thickness (C-IMT) measurements, 10 volunteers underwent bilateral carotid US scans co-registered to three-dimensional US maps created on the initial visit, with a repeat scan 2 days later. Results: For the CEA specimens, there was a mean of 20 (standard error [SE] 2.0) frames per MRI slice. The mean frame difference, over 33 registration markers, between MRI and US scans for readers 1 and 2 was -2.82 ± 19.32 and 2.09 ± 14.68 (mean ± 95% CI) frames, respectively. The US-MRI intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for the first and second readers were 0.995 and 0.997, respectively. For patients with carotid atherosclerosis, the mean US frames per MRI slice (9 [SE 2.3]) was within range of that observed with CEA specimens. Inter-visit, intra-reader, and inter-reader reproducibility of C-IMT measurements were consistently high (side-averaged ICC >0.9). Conclusion: Accurate co-registration between US and other modalities is feasible with a GPS-like technology, which has significant clinical and research applicability.

Facts and figures
The European dairy industry is transforming yearly 135* billion litres of raw milk into a broad range of products, both for consumption and for application in the production of many food, feed and pharma products.
Realising reasonable prices for the raw milk delivered by ca. 1 mln** farms, the dairy industry is essential for the preservation and development of socio-economic structures in rural areas. The dairy industry represents ca. 13% of the turnover for the total food and drink industry in Europe; it employs ca. 10% of people working in the European food and drink industry.
The various dairy products produced by the European dairy industry, such as liquid milk, cheese, fresh dairy products and butter, are an essential and functional contribution to the diet of all consumers in Europe. In other words, the dairy industry is one of the industry sectors that is of main importance for a healthy development of Europe.*source: ZMP, 2009 figures** 2008

Question: How Much Banana Can A 5 Month Old Eat?
What can baby eat at 5 months?
Good first food choices include single-grain, iron-enriched, whole grain cereal (whole grain oat, whole grain barley or brown rice), vegetables (like sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, peas and green beans), and fruits (including pureed ripe avocado, finely mashed bananas, or baby applesauce, peaches or pears)..
Should I steam banana for baby?
How long can a 5 month old go without eating?
Why is 5 month old waking at night?
There are many reasons a baby is waking at night (or any person for that matter) and the number of reasons increases with toddler sleep. Too cold, too warm, sick, and so on. The above reasons are just the five that seem to come up most frequently in sleep consultations.
Can I give my baby food at 5 months?
Remember, there's no need to rush this milestone. Most babies are ready to start solids between 5 and 6 months. Don't start solids before 4 months.
Can I give my 5 month old water?
What are the milestones for a 5 month old?
Can I give my 5 month old mashed potatoes?
When To Introduce Potatoes Mashed potatoes can be considered solid foods and should only be given to your baby when they approach their six months. This is the perfect time to start slowly with all kinds of solid foods. Mashed potatoes can be one of the many that you start giving your baby right away.
Can I feed my baby at 5 months?
The best time to introduce solid foods is when your baby has developed the skills needed to eat. Doctors recommend that breastfeeding moms wait until their baby is 6 months old. But sometimes babies are ready for solids sooner than that.
Can you blend banana for babies?
To make a thicker banana puree, you can simply mash a ripe banana until mostly smooth using a fork or potato masher. … Mix with whole milk plain yogurt, baby oatmeal, mashed avocado, sweet potato, or any other baby food you like as desired.
What fruit can babies not eat?
What fruit should baby eat first?
Bananas and babies are pretty much synonymous. Bananas are sweet, mushy and easy to digest, so they make a perfect first food for baby.
How much banana Can I give my baby?
With all factors considered – including sugar, fibre, and the need for a balanced diet – it is recommended that babies starting solid food at four months have no more than one-third of a banana per day, increasing to half of a banana by nine months, and up to one-and-a-half bananas by the time the child is one year old …
How much baby food should a 5 month old eat?
Can I give my 5 month old banana puree?
There are enough and more tasty and nutritious options in food that can be introduced to little ones once a baby is between 4 and 6 months. One such tasty option is banana puree. Banana puree is sweet and your little one will love its taste. It can be introduced to babies once they turn 4 months of age.
Is it OK to give banana to a baby daily?
Can a 5 month old eat a whole banana?
As your child grows, you can continue to make bananas a key part of her diet. Keep giving them to her pureed or mashed until she's about 9 months old. You then can offer them as finger foods in sliced and quartered chunks. By the time she's a year old, you can hand her a half or whole peeled banana.


. To facilitate this feature, we have enabled location in data recordings.
Enabling location is just not enough. User should be able to view the locations. Probably on a map itself would be a good idea. With the use of Open Street Maps, we can add markers to specific locations. These markers can be used as a point to show on map where a specific data set had been recorded by the user. This can be implemented further to add additional features such as standardized labels to view which data set is at which location etc.
Figure 1: Markers on Map
Unlike Google Maps API, in Open Street Maps there is no direct implementation to add a marker. But it is not a hard implementation either. We can simply create a class extending map overlays and use that as a base to add markers.
We can start by creating a new class that extends ItemizedOverlay<OverlayItem> class as follows. In this class, it would be wise to have an array list full of markers we are using in the map to modularize the whole markers related tasks into this one class rather than implementing in every place where map is used.
public class MapOverlay extends ItemizedOverlay<OverlayItem> {
 private ArrayList<OverlayItem> overlayItemList = new ArrayList<OverlayItem>();
}

Once the class is initiated, have the following methods implemented. The following method will add markers to the array list we have created at the beginning.
public void addItem(GeoPoint p, String title, String snippet){
 OverlayItem newItem = new OverlayItem(title, snippet, p);
 overlayItemList.add(newItem);
 populate();
}

This method will be used to handle focusing events related to map markers.
@Override
public boolean onSnapToItem(int arg0, int arg1, Point arg2, IMapView arg3){
 return false;
}

Following method is used by the map itself to generate markers from the marker list.
@Override
protected OverlayItem createItem(int arg0) {
 return overlayItemList.get(arg0);
}

This method is an overriden method we will have to include in the class body.
@Override
public int size() {
 return overlayItemList.size();
}

Once the overlay class is completed, we can move on to actual implementation of a map on Openstreetmap view.
From the main activity where the map is viewed, initiate the marker overlay class and pass the drawable that needs to be shown as the marker to the class constructor as follows:
MapOverlay mapoverlay = null;
Drawable marker=getResources().getDrawable(android.R.drawable.map_hand);
int markerWidth = marker.getIntrinsicWidth();
int markerHeight = marker.getIntrinsicHeight();
marker.setBounds(0, markerHeight, markerWidth, 0);
ResourceProxy resourceProxy = new DefaultResourceProxyImpl(getApplicationContext());
mapoverlay = new MapOverlay(marker, resourceProxy);
mapView.getOverlays().add(mapoverlay);

GeoPoint point = new GeoPoint(55.75, 37.616667);
mapoverlay.addItem(point, "Russia", "Russia");

We can add as many GeoPoints as we want to markers list and they all will be displayed on the map like this;

Adding Open Street Maps to PSLab Android
PSLab Android app is an open source app that uses fully open libraries and tools so that the community can use all it's features without any compromises related to pricing or feature constraints. This will brings us to the topic how to implement a map feature in PSLab Android app without using proprietary tools and libraries. This is really important as now the app is available on Fdroid and they don't allow apps to have proprietary tools in them if they are published there. In other words, it simply says we cannot use Google Maps APIs no matter how powerful they are in usage.
There is a workaround and that is using Open Street Maps (OSM). OSM is an open source project which is supported by a number of developers all around the globe to develop an open source alternative to Google Maps. It supports plenty of features we need in PSLab Android app as well. Starting from displaying a high resolution map along with caching the places user has viewed, we can add markers to show data points and locations in sensor data logging implementations.
All these features can be made available once we add the following dependencies in gradle build file. Make sure to use the latest version as there will be improvements and bug fixes in each newer version
implementation "org.osmdroid:osmdroid-android:$rootProject.osmVersion"
implementation "org.osmdroid:osmdroid-mapsforge:$rootProject.mapsforgeVersion"
implementation "org.osmdroid:osmdroid-geopackage:$rootProject.geoPackageVersion"

OSM will be functional only after the following permission states were granted.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />

In a view xml file, add the layout org.osmdroid.views.MapView to initiate the map view. There is a known issue in OSM library. That is during the initiation, if the zoom factor is set to a small value, there will be multiple instances of maps as shown in Fig 1. The solution is to have a higher zoom value when the map is loaded.
Figure 1: Multiple map tiles in OSM
Once we initialize the map view inside an activity, a zoom level can be easily set using a map controller as follows;
map = findViewById(R.id.osmmap);
map.setTileSource(TileSourceFactory.MAPNIK);
map.setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
map.setMultiTouchControls(true);
IMapController mapController = map.getController();
mapController.setZoom((double) 9);
GeoPoint startPoint = new GeoPoint(0.00, 0.00);
mapController.setCenter(startPoint);

After successfully implementing the map view, we can develop the business logic to add markers and descriptions to improve the usability of OS Maps. They will be available in the upcoming blog posts.

Capturing Position Data with PSLab Android App
PSLab Android app by FOSSASIA can be used to visualize different waveforms, signal levels and patterns. Many of them involve logging data from different instruments. These data sets can be unique and the user might want them to be specific to a location or a time. To facilitate this feature, PSLab Android app offers a feature to save user's current location along with the data points.
This implementation can be done in two ways. One is to use Google Maps APIs and the other one is to use LocationManager classes provided by Android itself. The first one is more on to proprietary libraries and it will give errors when used in an open source publishing platform like Fdroid as they require all the libraries used in an app to be open. So we have to go with the latter, using LocationManager classes.
As first step, we will have to request permission from the user to allow the app access his current location. This can be easily done by adding a permission tag in the Manifest.xml file.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />

Since we are not using Google Maps APIs, capturing the current location will take a little while and that can be considered as the only downfall of using this method. We have to constantly check for a location change to capture the data related to current location. This can be easily done by attaching a LocationListener as it will do the very thing for us.
private LocationListener locationListener = new LocationListener() {
 @Override
 public void onLocationChanged(Location location) {
 locationAvailable = true;
 }
 @Override
 public void onStatusChanged(String s, int i, Bundle bundle) {/**/}
 @Override
 public void onProviderEnabled(String s) {/**/}
 @Override
 public void onProviderDisabled(String s) {
 // TODO: Handle GPS turned on/off situations
 }
};

In case if the user has turned off GPS in his device, this method wouldn't work. We will have to request him to turn the feature on using a simple

DOE Grants R&D Team Funding to Develop ML Solution for Solar Energy Applications
The Department of Energy has funded a research project that will explore using machine learning to reduce the costs of operating and managing commercial and industrial solar portfolios.
Ecogy Energy is part of the research team, which received $230,000 of $750,000 funding the DOE awarded to advance efforts focused on developing artificial intelligence-powered solutions for solar energy applications.
A threefold increase in the number of commercial industrial solar portfolios is expected over the next five years. Machine learning has the potential to improve how the assets will be operated; however, cost and complexity brought by incompatible systems hinder ML adoption, Ecogy said.
In partnership with Stony Brook University and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Ecology will provide the industry with an open-source machine learning solution based on the SolarNetwork platform to make devices from multiple manufacturers interoperable and reduce O&M costs.
Yue Zhao, project leader at Stony Brook, said the team will focus first on delivering advanced ML techniques for solar plants, providing asset managers to quickly respond to issues that could impact production processes. Afterward, the team will simplify the deployment of the solution to implement it without the need for an ML expert, Zhao added.

"Navigating Mental Health in SWFL Schools"
On Tuesday, Sept. 8, Mental Health Navigators Peggy Jugmahansingh, Joseph R. Craig, Jeannine Sparkes and Richard Keelan, Child Advocacy Supervisor for Golisano Children's Hospital discussed "Navigating Mental Health in SWFL Schools," specifically the Mental Health Navigator program.
What do Mental Health Navigators (MHN) do?
- Mental Health Navigators relate one-on-one with families on mental health challenges
Each navigator has had his/her own experience with mental health issues with a family member or child, and may have:
- Already gone through bureaucratic obstacles
- Recognize the frustration that sometimes comes with getting the appropriate supports for their loved one
- Enabling the family to develop skills towards self-sufficiency
The MHN program strives for families to learn how to self-advocate, so that in time, they can rely on their own resources without the program's help.
Impact of the Mental Health Navigator program by Kids' Minds Matter
Since launching in March, the MHN services that families have received include:
psychiatric and therapy appointments for children and parents, as well as diagnostic testing
- Accompanying parents/child to appointments as needed
- Enrolling for SNAP (food); TANF (temporary cash assistance); and SSI (income for the disabled)
- Payment of monthly cell phone bills for a limited time (a safety measure from isolation due to the coronavirus pandemic)
- Donation of 9 beds for children sleeping on makeshift floor beds (4 beds for 1 family; five for another)
- Enrolling three children in a week's summer camp which also served as respite for their parents
- Assisting a mother with car repairs for transportation to work. (She contributed part of her Covid-19 stimulus money to the repairs)
- Assisting parents to electronically enroll their children for the new school year
- Using wrap-around funds for 30 plus transactions for basic needs such as food, toiletries and clothes.
Referrals to the MHN program
- Where do referrals come from? The school mental health team which is made up of the counselor, social worker, psychologist and nurse. Occasionally an administrator may participate.
- Who may get referred to the MHN program? Generally, the children who are referred to the program are struggling in multiple areas – behavior, attendance and grades – or some combination of these and have not responded to the typical school-based interventions for resolving these issues.
- How do children get referred to the MHN program? Any member of the school staff can enter a concern about a child into the school mental health data base. From there school personnel contact the family and have them complete a short screening tool. Often at this point parents are directed to services to help their child such as counseling or other community resources. In most cases this is enough, and parents are able to connect with the needed services and resources.
- Students referred to the MHN program are usually those cases where the school and the family can't "close the gap" between what the student needs and what school and family can do without outside assistance.
What is the Child and Family Team Meeting?
- Mental Health Navigators provide and encourage the development of support systems within the community and school by facilitating the Child and Family Team Meeting (CFTM) that directly connect with a family struggling with mental health issues.
- Through the CFTM, the Mental Health Navigation program focuses on bringing all the supports together under one meeting with parents to discuss:
- Establish deadlines for each task
- Identify needs and existing and potential barriers
- Families emerge from the CFTM feeling empowered to have their voices clearly heard during this process and encourage providers to develop a unified plan as united stakeholders in the family's stabilization.
- Above all, the CFTM looks at other supports within family and friends that could also be tapped into to address issues that prevent the child from reaching his or her potential.
How is supporting the family's well-being a key part of supporting the child's wellness?
- The National Institute of Mental Health a division of the National Institutes of Health: "Including parents and other members of the family in treatment can help families understand how a child's individual challenges may affect relationships with parents and siblings and vice versa."
- Having a family member with mental or emotional problems can be overwhelming to the parents and other children. They may not know how to help their child and may feel frustrated or inadequate. Parents may also have their own psychological issues that may or may not be identified.
- Mental or emotional disorders can also cause parents to miss work because the child does not want to attend school or is sent home for misbehaving. This can cause financial stress and difficulty paying bills.
- It is important to make sure all family members' needs are being met – respite for parents, adequate sleep, making sure all children are getting enough attention and that all of the resources are not focused only on one child. It is not possible to support a child with mental or emotional problems unless parents are making sure all of their own needs are being met.
- MHNs and Child and Family Teams work to develop a support system for the family to help make sure the family is stable and resilient and can meet the challenges that come with living mental illness.
What is are "Wrap-around Services"?
- The wrap-around approach is a team approach in which we try to support and empower the family to meet the needs of their child
- Examples of wrap-around services can include connecting parents and children to mental health services, providing transportation, helping complete applications for housing, financial assistance, or school enrollment, helping families who are food insecure access local food resources, literally anything that helps increase the family's access to the services and resources necessary for helping the child and family function in a more healthy way.
Definition of Protective Factors
Attributes or conditions of individuals, families, communities, or the larger society that reduce or eliminate risk and promote the healthy development and well-being of children and families
Five categories of Protective Factors:
- Parental Resilience
- Social Connections
- Concrete Supports in Times of Need
- Knowledge of Parenting & Child Development
- Social & Emotional Competency of Children
What a Mental Health Navigator does not do
There are some things that they do not do because they are not medically trained, nor are they licensed mental health practitioners (LMHPs).
They do not:
- Provide hands-on health care services
- Provide physical assessment, diagnosis, or treatment
- Provide professional counseling and/or therapy.

QUESTIONS FROM VIEWERS
Q: How does one get in touch with a Mental Health Navigator?
A: We're a pilot program and referrals come through the school district. Kids' Minds Matter offers a lot of free resources that are a good place to start. The school district gets a lot of input from the mental health team at the school. A guidance counselor or school counselor may be able to help. There are amazing mental health professionals in the school and reaching out to the school should not be something that people are afraid of. Guidance counselors are no longer there just to help with scheduling but help with social-emotional well-being.
Q: Do you help provide a child a pet that will help them deal with their mental health emotions?
A: It's possible. I've seen Child and Family Teams go to places that were unexpected. If it was determined a pet was needed, I can see it happen.

Quantitating DNA - How they did it back then? (Feb/15/2009 )
We now know that DNA with a concentration of 50ug/mL has an OD of 1.0 at 260nm and this value helps us determine our sample's DNA concentration.
Can anyone shed light or provide links as to how scientist arrive at that relationship? If it's by a standard curve, how did they prepare their DNA concentrations to plot the graph?
I'm willing to tack the challenge.
But why dos it matter?
Why don't you take it for granted?
Do you check every math axiom before using it?
Maybe they measured the weight of DNA. The DNA pellet should have mass right?
Then using that, they dissolve in fixed volume and look at Ab260.
Work it out in reverse: take a range of DNA samples with different ODs, then determine how much DNA (weight) is in each.
or you can run an agarose gel electroforesis, with serial dilutions to to compare the concentration with another method

Bisnode Group Analytics has joined forces with local analytics teams to see if data science and machine learning can be used to predict which national team will win football's biggest competition. By leveraging all historical data about national team games over the past 4 years, Bisnode has developed a model that estimates the probability of a win, draw or loss, as well as goal difference for any future game between the national teams involved in the competition.
"Our first objective was to develop a model able to predict the result of a single game, based on the teams' characteristics," says Pierre Deville, Head of Data Science and Analytics at Group Analytics. "The second objective was to determine the most likely scenario for the competition and other derived statistics by running large-scale simulations, considering the specifics of the tournament."
The first model was based on historical data regarding type of tournament, the location of the game, the score, and so on. Team ratings were fed into an advanced machine learning model using a technique known as eXtreme Gradient Boosting to calculate probable outcomes for each game. Using this predictive model, Bisnode Group Analytics ran simulations for the actual games that will take place.
"By generating millions of simulations, we derived probabilistic information associated to any team reaching any stage of the tournament," says Goran Loncar, current Director of Group Analytics. "Our approach not only allowed us to estimate the probability of a team reaching a certain stage, but it also provided the most likely scenario for the entire tournament, as well as the overall chance for each team to lift the cup."
BISNODE USED MACHINE LEARNING, the subfield of computer science that "gives computers the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed". Evolved from the study of pattern recognition and computational learning theory in artificial intelligence, machine learning uses algorithms that can learn from and make predictions based on data.
BISNODE USED DATA MINING, an analysis technique that focuses on detecting patterns and trends in data, to feed the predictive model and rank the teams.

OEM Frequency to Voltage Converter
(FVC) board is designed to convert a continuous series of digital pulses
(frequency) into an analog voltage. The board is ideal for a close loop
control of a motor shaft. The input is designed to accept low level (as
low as +/- 60 mV P-P) pulses from magnetic pick-ups or high-level square
wave signals from a shaft encoder (as high as +/- 40 V P-P).
the output voltage is positive (0 to 10 VDC) or negative (0 to 10 VDC)
with a magnitude proportional to the input frequency signal. This FVC
board may be used to provide a unidirectional analog velocity signal
that is directly proportional to the output from an encoder connected to
a rotating shaft. The output maintains a signal linearity and drift too
less than 0.3% with temperature drift of less than 0.05% per degree
centigrade with a very low ripple, less than 30 mV P-P at 10 KHz. Each
frequency to voltage converter module includes controls to set the
output signal Zero and Span. Where the Zero output sets for zero input
frequency (CW incises). And Span output sets to maximum input frequency
(CCW incises). The board operates of 2 wires 24 VDC or 24VAC power supply. The board's Molex
cage-up Terminal-Block makes it easy to connect to external connections
Module delivers analog 0 to +10 VDC or 0 to -10 VDC outputs proportional
to input pulse rate (frequency). Where it accepts variable pulse rate
inputs from a variety of sensors including magnetic pick-ups, with
maximum linearity. It the ideal board for supplying velocity feedback in
closed loop speed control systems.
The Board operates on the frequency content of a sinusoidal, triangular,
or square waveform. Typical transducers include:
Pick-up detecting a passing Gear-Teeth, Keyway, etc.
that scans alternating opaque and
Tachometer or Encoder.
For fast response of Board outputs, it is important that the transducer
be located toward the high-speed end of the drive train. For slow shaft
speeds, the transducer must be capable of delivering a high number of
cycles or pulses per revolution. The transducer should also be capable
of delivering a usable output for the entire speed range through maximum
The following formula is convenient for relating machine speeds and
sensor frequency output:
or Hz) = (RPM * PPR) /60
is Cycle Per Second
is the speed of the shaft where the sensor is located in Revolutions
is the number of Pulses (or cycles) produced by the sensor for one
shaft Per Revolution.
Super performance in is class; The Industrial board Zero and Span
adjustment allows the unit to deliver full-scale output voltage for any
input frequency within the limits of frequency range rating. It will
provide an ultimate combination of fast response and low ripple.
– FVC-DZSA transducer board is an
linear, and an efficient way to convert industrial standards frequencies 0 to 1KHz,

Kang's Summit was an area on Qo'noS that was known for its population of saber bear.
In 2371, while hunting saber bear on the Summit, Martok was captured by the Dominion. (DS9: "In Purgatory's Shadow")
It is likely that this location was named for Kang, one of the Klingon Empire's greatest warriors. Alternately, it could be named for legendary title character from the epic poem The Fall of Kang.

Hamo Thornycroft ca. 1880
Sir William "Hamo" Thornycroft, RA (9 March 1850–18 December 1925) was a British sculptor, responsible for several London landmarks.
Hamo Thornycroft belonged to the Thornycroft family of sculptors. His father, Thomas, mother Mary, and grandfather John Francis were all distinguished sculptors. He was born in London. His brother, John Isaac Thornycroft, became a successful naval engineer; their sister, Theresa, was the mother of the poet Siegfried Sassoon; Theresa and sisters Alyce and Helen Thornycroft were artists. Hamo's early training was with his parents and he developed a passionate and precocious attachment to Classical sculpture. He subsequently studied at the Royal Academy of Arts, where his primary influence was the painter-sculptor Frederic Leighton. Hamo won the Gold Medal of the Royal Academy in 1876, with the statue Warrior Bearing a Wounded Youth.
He was the leading figure in the movement known as the New Sculpture. His close personal friend, the critic Edmund Gosse, coined the term "The New Sculpture" in 1894 and formulated its early principles from his relationship with Thornycroft. Thornycroft created a series of statues in the ideal genre in the late 1870s and early 1880s that sought to reanimate the format of the classical statue. These included Lot's Wife (1878), Artemis and her Hound (1880 plaster, 1882 marble), the Homeric bowman Teucer (1881 plaster, 1882 bronze), and the Mower (1884 plaster, 1894 bronze), arguably the first life-size freestanding statue of a contemporary laborer in 19th-century sculpture.
Thornycroft was one of the youngest artists to be elected to the Royal Academy, in 1882, the same year the bronze cast of Teucer was purchased for the British nation under the auspices of the Chantrey Bequest. After 1884, Thornycroft's reputation was secure and he received commissions for a number of major monuments, most notably the innovative General Gordon. Thornycroft continued to be a central member of the sculptural establishment and the Royal Academy into the 20th century. He was knighted in 1917. He increasingly became reactionary and resistant to the new developments in sculpture, even though it was his work of the early 1880s that helped catalyze sculpture in the United Kingdom toward developing new directions. In sum, he provided an important transition between the neoclassical and academic styles of the 19th century and its fin-de-siècle and modernist departures.

Install base64 (_URL_ and aespipe (_URL_
Create a second config file named ~/.cvimrc containing:
set secure
set viminfo=
set noswapfile
set nobackup
set nowritebackup
set history=0
set noshelltemp
function Scramble()
 %!base64 -e | aespipe -e aes256 -T | base64 -e
function Unscramble()

map :call Scramble()
map :call Unscramble()
Create a shell script named cvim (copy it to /usr/bin) containing:
vim -S $HOME/.cvimrc "$@"
Make the new script executable (do this as root, or use ~/bin/ instead of /usr/bin):
$ chmod 750 /usr/bin/cvim
Now you can edit a file with:
$ cvim new_textfile
Type in whatever you like. Press F7 key and type password twice. Then the contents of the file will be encrypted.
To decrypt, press F8 and type password again.
Never save the file while you can see the plain text. Before saving (:w) you should encrypt it first, otherwise there will be traces of the plaintext file on your hard disk.
Also check out the openssl plugin. All you need is Vim and openssl on your system and you can be editing encrypted files right now! Files can be encrypted with most ciphers supported by openssl: aes, blowfish, des3, etc. The cool part is that the plugin transparently handles decryption when you open a file and encrypting it again before you write it. Just do your typical ":wq" and it will ask you for an encryption password before it writes.... It also has a password safe feature. Now you don't need to install a separate password safe and your password file is encrypted with standard OpenSSL supported ciphers that can later be decrypted with just 'openssl' alone -- the original openssl.vim VimScript is not required for decryption. --Noahspurrier 01:30, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
aespipe can be found at _URL_
For less secure encryption, see Vim's built-in encryption feature :help encryption.
How about gpg:
$ seq 1 3 > file
$ gpg --cipher-algo aes256 --symmetric file
$ gpg --cipher-algo aes256 --decrypt < file.gpg
gpg: AES256 encrypted data
gpg: encrypted with 1 passphrase
How about VimTip1032.
I still prefer script#661.
Use the following (-a does to and from base64 conversion).
openssl aes-256-cbc [-d] -a -in file.txt -out file.aes
I edited the commands to "set noshelltemp" because otherwise Vim uses a temporary file to copy the text to the standard input of aespipe.
I also edited some of the text above to properly use a 'pre' block, and got rid of some superfluous stuff and incorrect comments.
Also note that I prefer:
function Scramble()
 %!gpg -q --cipher-algo aes256 --symmetric --armor 2>/dev/null
function Unscramble()
 %!gpg -q --cipher-algo aes256 --decrypt --armor 2>/dev/null
which works just fine, and uses a single command (which is almost certainly installed already).
Also, use of an alias for cvim might be more suitable than use of a shell script, since the arguments all come at the end of the line anyways. This won't require installing a script as root either; it's probably better for a user that wants to do this to just add the alias to their.bashrc/.bash_profile.

Korea's climate will change much faster than previously believed, a government report says, and the country will see the same amount of change over the next decade as over the whole of the last century.
Temperatures will rise four times faster than in the last four decades (_PHONE_), when the average rise was 1.4 degrees Celsius. Over the next 10 year they will increase by up to 1.5 degrees.
The Korea Meteorological Administration, which led the study in collaboration with eight governmental bodies including the Ministry of Environment, analyzed climate change in Korea based on climate change scenarios released by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change last year.
The report is released Tuesday but the Chosun Ilbo has seen an advance copy. It says Korea's temperature rose 1.8 degrees on average over the last century, but the annual average temperature will be 13.8 degrees by 2020, up 1.5 degrees over the decade, and 15.5 degrees by 2050.
A government official said, "According to the IPCC's earlier prediction, the temperature will increase 2 degrees Celsius on average by 2050. But the new report predicts an increase of 3.2 degrees, up 60 percent from the IPCC's. This means climate change is proceeding much faster than expected."
With glaciers melting as a result of rising temperatures, the sea level in Korea will rise up to 27 cm, 2.8 times as much as previously expected, by 2050.
Annual average rainfall will be 1,378 mm by 2020, up 9 percent from the recent 30-year average of 1,264 mm, and 1,461 mm, up 15.6 percent, by 2050.
Extreme weather such as sweltering heat, tropical nights (when temperatures stay above 25 degrees), and torrential rains, will also likely soar by 2050.
A heat wave across the country last year lasted 8.8 days, but that will increase to 10.3 days by 2020 and 25.1 days by 2050. In Seoul, there were 7.8 tropical nights last year, but in 2020 there will be 11 and by 2050 31.6 days.


Embedded Java with GCJ
You don't always need a Java Virtual Machine to run Java in an embedded system.
Configuring the Root Filesystem
The first thing to compile with your newly minted cross compiler is the root filesystem. The root filesystem, in this case, is compliments of BusyBox. For the uninitiated, BusyBox is a single binary that encapsulates mini versions of the most popular UNIX utilities in a surpassingly small executable. Built for people that count bytes, BusyBox has hundreds of knobs to turn to create a filesystem with the utilities you need within your desired space constraints. For the purpose of this article, we change the BusyBox configuration so that it cross compiles, leaving size optimization as an exercise for the reader.
BusyBox is a mainstay of the embedded Linux world and is maintained by Erik Anderson. One way to get BusyBox is to download it at _URL_
To create a BusyBox root filesystem, you need to invoke make menuconfig in the directory where BusyBox was untarred. The menuconfig program works just like the 2.4/2.6 menuconfig kernel configuration interface. Here's what you'll need to do to build the root filesystem.
First, select the build options. Check the Do you want to build BusyBox with a Cross Compiler? box. Fill in the prefix of the cross compiler in the input control that appears when you click this option, in this case, powerpc-750-linux-gnu-. The BusyBox build scripts concatenate the necessary tool name during compilation (gcc, ld and so on). Make sure that the compiler is on your $PATH.
Next, run make and install:
make install
BusyBox puts the newly minted root filesystem at./_install. You'll notice that BusyBox compiles in much less time than GCC.
Populating the Root Filesystem with Libraries
Almost there! The root filesystem BusyBox creates does not contain any libraries. GCJ programs require some libraries and so does BusyBox, shown in Table 1.
Table 1. Libraries Required by GCJ and BusyBox
Library FileFunction
ld.so.1Dynamically linked file loader. Invoked when the program is run, loads required libraries and performs dynamic linking.
libdl.so.2Helper functions for manipulating dynamic libraries.
libgcc_s.so.1Defines interfaces for handling exceptions.
libgcj.so.6The GCJ run-time library. Contains implementations of the standard Java library.
libm.so.6Library of math functions.
libpthread.so.0POSIX threads library.
These libraries match those used by the cross compiler. In this case, the files are stored in the $RESULT_TOP/gcc-4.0.1-glibc-2.2.2/powerpc-750-linux-gnu/powerpc-750-linux-gnu/lib (not a typo!) directory. The easiest way to get them into the root filesystem is simply to copy them:
for f in ld.so.1 lib libdl.so.2 libgcc_s.so.1libgcj.so.6 libm.so.6 libpthread.so.0 ; do
/lib
pc-750-linux-gnu-strip /lib/$f
You also need to create a folder in the root filesystem, /proc, to use as a mountpoint for the proc filesystem. Keen eyes will notice that I'm not preserving the symlinks used to accommodate different versions of the libraries—that's a shortcut typical in embedded systems where library configuration won't change over the life of the device, unlike a desktop system. Running strip greatly reduces the amount of disk space required by the files, almost by 50%.
At this point, the root filesystem can be copied to the target system into the /tmp/bbox directory. To tell the system to use this as the root filesystem, start a terminal as root and execute the chroot command:
chroot /tmp/bbox /bin/ash
This command remaps the / mountpoint into /tmp/busybox and runs /bin/ash to get a terminal. Did it work? Congratulations! You've created a complete root filesystem for an embedded system from scratch. Pat yourself on the back.
GCJ also needs the proc filesystem mounted. After the chroot, you need to remount the proc filesystem into the current root filesystem by doing the following:
mkdir /proc
mount -t proc none /proc
Although this root filesystem resides on a standard drive, the root filesystem deployed on a production embedded system wouldn't be much different. The only changes necessary would be creating inittab, so the board will run the right scripts at the start and add a /dev filesystem with the right device files for the target board.

Rather unfortunate.
Typographical Error
lumkichi's picture
While everyone noted the sample "hello" program does not compile as-is, I'm surprised no one expressed why but instead offered alternatives. The reason the sample program does not compile is because there are two typographical errors in it (I'm sure it was unintended - an artifact as a result of using a Word Processor such as MS Word).
Class hello {
 Static public void main(String argc[]) {
 System.out.println("hello from GCJ");
The keywords "Class" and "Static" should not be capitalized. It should look like this:
class hello {
 static public void main(String argc[]) {
 System.out.println("hello from GCJ");
The capitalization changed the keywords "class" and "static" into Object names. The compiler was trying to find a "Class.class" to make a "Class" object named "hello" and couldn't. The same with "Static."
This is a great article, and the author did a great job writing it. Unfortunately formatting the document (and the code, especially) is a bear. Just to get the code snippet above look the way is does was a lot of work - way more work than just typing.

Anonymous's picture
This worked for me:
class hello
static public void main( String argc[] )
System.out.println( "hello from GCJ" );
Notice that none of the keywords like "class" are capitalized. Also, typical naming convention for java is to call the source file hello.java and using the javac command turns the byte code into hello.class We're not using javac, so there won't be a hello.class file. So, if you name your file this way, the compile step would be:
gcj hello.java --main=hello -o hello-java
Hope this helps.

After reading this article, I just realized how we can simplify our seemingly complicated problems which in fact can actually be solved very easily! It actually helps us to use GCJ which is really a part of the GCC compiler suite, in a Linux project! The advantage is that it can be code with a high-level language like Java! It gives us a detailed tutorial about its advantages and pitfalls, the host and target configuration and lastly if you are happy with what you have read, the step by step instructions to build your GCJ cross compiler! Very cool and informative read indeed!!RFID Tags

Garmaine Staff asked 1 year ago
I ran clang-tidy (the "modernize" modules) on a project tree that I have been trying to keep reasonably up to date with C++17. Almost everything it corrected was unsurprising to me, except for one thing: It changed all of these types of constructs:
void foo(const std::string& str) {
.. to this:
void foo(std::string str) {
And I don't understand why. To my untrained eye this would mean two things:
 1. It would need to copy the object rather than just pass a reference. (Though I assume there are situations when the compiler can deduce that it can just pass a pointer when it generates the code — but the reference makes it explicit (which is better imho)).
 2. The const is there to tell the function body developer that it shouldn't be changing the input string, and that if it needs to modify the string it needs to store its own copy somewhere.
I do see an upside though — by just passing an object as a const reference it's a mere "remove const" cast away from being changed anyway, so I guess passing by value would solve that.
Why does it recommend removing const references with non-const pass-by-values?
