Webforge offers this public domain guardrail system for highway safety that consists of a w-beam and is usually supported by a post (U-Post , C-post , I-Post or Timber).
As the world's most widely specified road safety barrier, the w-beam is in accordance to American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) M180.
Guardrail barriers provide semi-rigid protection to shield motorists from hazards located close to the edge of the traveled way. The most common guardrail system consists of a steel w-beam rail (also known as armco) on steel posts with end treatments and transitions of various designs using similar materials.
The full system of w-beam guardrail and steel post and blocking piece (e.g., W-beam and U-Post system, as shown in the photo) is classified as a semi-rigid barrier.

Absolutely fascinating. I agree that these dioramas and others across the country are just exemplary works of art. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall listening to those debates on perspective. Incredible characters and personality, one and all.
thanks for posting your shots! i only had my iphone with me last time i was there and really regretted not carrying my camera with me... some fantastic painting in those scenes.
This is a killer post Alan! The pictures are wonderful.


What to look for when you're reviewing someone else's code, and what to prioritize when you do.
Let's talk about code reviews. If you take only a few seconds to search for information about code reviews, you'll see a lot of information about why code reviews are a good thing (for example, this article by Jeff Atwood).
You also see a lot of documentation on how to use Code Review tools like our very own Upsource.
What you don't see so much of, is a guide to things to look for when you're reviewing someone else's code.
Probably the reason there's no definitive article on what to be looking for is: there are a lot of different things to consider. And, like any other set of requirements (functional or non-functional), individual organisations will have different priorities for each aspect.
Since this is a big topic to cover, the aim of this article is to outline just some of the things a reviewer could be looking out for when performing a code review. Deciding on the priority of each aspect and checking them consistently is a sufficiently complex subject to be an article in its own right.
What Do You Look For When You're Reviewing Someone Else's Code?
Formatting: Where are the spaces and line breaks? Are they using tabs or spaces? How are the curly braces laid out?
Style: Are the variables/parameters declared as final? Are method variables defined close to the code where they're used or at the start of the method?
Naming: Do the field/constant/variable/param/class names conform to standards? Are the names overly short?
Test coverage: Is there a test for this code?
These are all valid things to check to ensure the code is consistent with the rest of your codebase, to make it easier for team members to understand - you want to reduce context switching between different areas of code and reduce cognitive load, so the more consistent your code looks, the better.
However, having humans check these is probably not the best use of time and resources in your organisation. Although a code review process that checks these kinds of properties will improve the overall quality of your code, many of these checks can be automated. This takes a little bit of work up-front, but pays off very quickly. Tools like Checkstyle, FindBugs, PMD, CodeNarc, Emma, Cobertura, JaCoCo and SonarQube can, especially when combined, check that your code is consistently formatted, that standards around naming and the use of the final keyword are followed, and that common bugs caused by simple programming errors are found. You can even run IntelliJ IDEA's inspections from the command line, so you don't have to rely on all team members having the same inspections running in their IDE.
So far we've just talked about what it's easy to look for, and that you should consider using tools other than code review to check these automatically.
What sort of things are humans really good for? What can we spot in a code review that we can't delegate to a tool?
It turns out there's a surprisingly large number of things. This is certainly not an exhaustive list, nor will we go into any one of them in great detail here. Instead, this should be the start of a conversation in your organisation about which things you currently look for in a code review, and what, perhaps, you should be looking for.
Does the code follow SOLID principles, Domain Driven Design and/or other design paradigms the team favours?
If the codebase has a mix of standards or design styles, does this new code follow the current practices? Is the code migrating in the correct direction, or does it follow the example of older code that is due to be phased out?
Could the new code have reused something in the existing code? Does the new code provide something we can reuse in the existing code? Does the new code introduce duplication? If so, should it be refactored to a more reusable pattern, or is this acceptable at this stage?
Is the code over-engineered? Does it build for reusability that isn't required now? How does the team balance considerations of reusability with YAGNI?
Do the names (of fields, variables, parameters, methods and classes) actually reflect the thing they represent?
Do the tests cover a good subset of cases? Do they cover happy paths and exceptional cases? Are there cases that haven't been considered?
Are confusing sections of code either documented, commented, or covered by understandable tests (according to team preference)?
Does the code actually do what it was supposed to do? If there are automated tests to ensure correctness of the code, do the tests really test the code meets the agreed requirements?
Does the code look like it contains subtle bugs, like using the wrong variable for a check, or accidentally using an and instead of an or?
Are there potential security problems with the code?
For areas that are not covered with automated performance tests, does the new code introduce avoidable performance issues, like unnecessary calls to a database or remote service?
Are there obvious errors that will stop this working in production? Is the code going to accidentally point at the test database, or is there a hardcoded stub that should be swapped out for a real service?
What makes "good" code is a topic that every developer has an opinion on. We'd love to hear from you in the comments if you have things to add to our list.

Enthralling new drama series 'Lie With Me'!
Monday: Lie With Me; (Channel 5, 9pm)
11th Jul 2021, 5:00pm - 3 min read
Charlie Brooks – best known as the scheming, murderous Janine from EastEnders – is back on our screens, this time as an unhappy British woman who moves to her husband's home country of Australia in a bid to give her marriage a fresh start.
She plays Anna Fallmont in Channel 5's enthralling new drama series Lie With Me, which promises to keep viewers guessing as it plays out across four episodes this week.
Fellow soap star Brett Tucker, 49, (who played Dan Fitzgerald in Neighbours) appears alongside 40-year-old Brooks as Anna's husband Jake, while the third lead in the suburban noir thriller is newcomer Phoebe Roberts as Becky Hart.
In the first episode, soon after relocating to a large, opulent property near Melbourne, the Fallmonts hire a local nanny called Becky to live with them and look after their two small children so that Anna can pick up her career on the other side of the world. Becky appears to be an innocent stranger in their home, but the truth is far more complicated.
Although the couple want to leave their troubles far behind in Britain, forgetting and forgiving past mistakes turns out to be even harder than breaking ties and events take a deadly turn.
Anna, like any person newly arrived in a different land, is desperate to find reassurance and community in a place where she knows no one. The isolation of a large house and the implicit threat to the relationship by the presence of a third, younger person feeds into the undercurrent of paranoia rippling through a classic 'fish out of water' situation.
With the spectre of infidelity still looming over her relationship with Jake, Anna befriends and confides in the young nanny, sharing her fears about the fact her husband has resumed his secretive behaviour once again. But she doesn't realise that Becky already knows a lot more than she is letting on.
While on the surface Anna appears to be the victimised wife, Brooks's association with Janine knowingly infuses Anna with a chilling potential about her own capabilities. Indeed, Brooks is set to return to Albert Square as the four-times-married, three-times-widowed daughter of Frank Butcher later this year after seven years away from Walford.
So, the viewers' sympathies are constantly pulled in different directions as the plot twists and turns, with gunshots, suggestions of domestic abuse and unexplained pieces of jewellery to puzzle over.
Lie With Me is the latest offering in a strong genre of family-focused noir series, following 2018 Australian-British mystery drama The Cry and 2020's psychological thriller The Secrets She Keeps, which was set in Sydney. Its creator Jason Herbison is the Neighbours series producer and brings his expertise in capturing attention to this show.
Director Scott Major uses the wide, dramatic Australian landscape to play on the cliches and associations that a British audience may harbour about what life is like Down Under. As Anna says ominously in the trailer: "This country is full of things that can kill you."

Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd (SSTL) today announced the successful launch of TechDemoSat-1, an in-orbit technology demonstration mission for innovative UK spacecraft equipment and software. The spacecraft was launched into 635km sun-synchronous orbit on board a Soyuz-2 launch vehicle with a Fregat upper stage from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan at 15:58:28 UTC today, 8 July 2014.
Following confirmation of separation from the launch vehicle, the ground station at the Satellite Applications Catapult Operations Centre at Harwell established contact with TechDemoSat-1 on its first pass and commissioning of the platform has begun, undertaken by the Operations team from SSTL. TechDemoSat-1 is the first satellite to be operated from the new facility at Harwell.
Universities and Science Minister David Willetts said "The successful launch of TechDemoSat-1 has given UK space companies a unique opportunity to test their cutting-edge technologies in orbit. These innovators can now show investors and potential customers how their products perform in the harsh environment of space.
TechDemoSat-1 is based on the SSTL-150 platform and is part-funded by a grant from the UK's Technology Strategy Board, and SEEDA (South East England Development Agency). The spacecraft carries eight separate payloads from UK academia and industry, providing valuable in-orbit validation for new technologies.
Commissioning of the payloads on board the satellite will be performed by SSTL via its own Mission Control Centre in Guildford, before handing over day-to-day operation of the payloads back to the Catapult. SSTL will continue to manage spacecraft level monitoring and operations for TechDemoSat-1 in Guildford.
Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL) is the world's leading small satellite company, delivering operational space missions for a range of applications including Earth observation, science and communications.

Some of the most famous works of art in the history of the world feature the human form, like these pictured below.
There is a form of art, however, that goes beneath the skin to show the inside of the human form! Gross or cool? You decide.
People have always known that if you eat certain plants, they may help heal the sick.
Eventually, they began to write down the various herbs and other treatments to cure headaches, upset stomachs, and more life-threatening illnesses. In the ancient world, doctors began to wonder more about what was going on beneath the skin that might help them diagnose and treat illnesses. They began to map the inner workings of the human body, and what a fascinating place it is!
What are the major time periods in the development of medical illustration?
How did the materials and techniques of this art form change over time?
How did the view of the human body and its function change over time?
Why would precision and accuracy be more important in medical illustration than in other forms of drawing?
What similarities and differences are there between medical illustration and other forms of drawing?
Could medical illustration really be considered art? What makes you think this way?
You may have never thought about medical illustration before. It is not only an important tool in the development of better medical treatment, it is extremely interesting to look at.
In the Got It? section, explore some of the fascinating examples of medical illustration from around the world.

The Assam State Museum was established on 21st April in 1940. The Kamrupa Anusandhana Samiti which was the pioneer organization in the field of historical and antiquarian studies of Assam had established the Assam State Museum. The museum was formally inaugurated by the then Governor of Assam Sir Robert Neil Reid.
The untiring efforts of Rai Bahadur Kanaklal Barua, Raibahadur Ananda Chandra Agarwalla, Kaliram Medhi were greatly responsible for establishment of the Museum.
The first building of the museum was constructed with the money received from public donation and Government grant. Raibahadur Naupat Rai Kedia has donated a handsome amount for the construction of the building. In 1953 the institution was taken over by the State Government.

Bernie Sanders Clearly In Pocket Of High-Rolling Teacher Who Donated $300 To His Campaign
SEE MORE: Politics
BURLINGTON, VT—After accepting a check sent to his campaign office by a local elementary school teacher, presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was roundly criticized Monday as being firmly in the pocket of the high-rolling educator who had donated $300. "He might have the reputation of being the people's candidate, but when your candidacy is effectively bankrolled by the multi-hundred-dollar donation of a fourth-grade teacher, it's clear who's really pulling the strings," said political analyst Peter Mathews, who noted that when a check arrives with a handwritten note that says "Behind you 100 percent, Bernie!" it comes with certain expectations. "He's already spouting off talking points about supporting unions and increasing funding for education. Where do you think he got those ideas? He might think he's not influenced by that money, but when someone has deep enough pockets to drop $300, you pick up the phone when they call." Mathews went on to say he wouldn't be surprised if Sanders' strong support for a living wage could be directly traced to the fat $20 contribution he got from a fast-food worker.

Q: TCP IP Socket Client - Available Options? I deal with a lot of socket programming and I need a client that can connect to a listening server and be able to send both JSON and XML.
Is there any software that is capable of that?
I tried telnet and each time I send some string it disconnects. Commandline tool is okay but I would prefer GUI if there is one

A: nc <server> <port>

After that, everything that is typed in is sent. Data from server is printed.
To get more flexibility, make a fifo mkfifo myfifo and read from it:
tail -f myfifo | nc <server> <port>

Then from other terminal window the files can be sent:
cat myfile > myfifo

A NEW village shopping centre and retail precinct is planned for Golden Bay.
Peet Limited announced the joint sale of three sites for the development.
The sale of the 15,903sq m parcel of land, jointly developed by Peet and the Western Australian Housing Authority, settled in December.
The site includes three individual lots – Lot 622 (10,271sq m), Lot 636 (3,432sq m) and Lot 716 (2,200sq m).
Developers the Delstrat Group have purchased all three sites and is in the process of finalising development plans for the new Golden Bay Village Centre, which has been designed by Taylor Robinson architects.
The Village Centre precinct has frontages to Warnbro Sound Avenue, Aurea Boulevard and Thundelarra Drive and will include a 1000sqm IGA supermarket, 12 speciality shops, a liquor store, medical centre and childcare centre.
A Development Application for Lot 622 (the shopping centre, speciality stores, liquor store and medical centre) and Lot 636 (the childcare centre) has been approved by the City of Rockingham.
Taylor Robinson has created a design concept for the entire development with a coastal theme. Contemporary elements such as timber cladding, black glass, feature brickwork, embossed concrete and timber loggia are key features in the design.
Work on the new Village Centre is expected to start in mid-2017, with completion planned for mid-2018.
Delstrat Director Paul Basso said the Golden Bay Village Centre was a spectacular development and very exciting news for Golden Bay.
"It's going to be a very impressive development with a medical centre, childcare centre, a secure tenant in IGA, a drive-through bottle shop, and specialty shops as well as potential for an apartment development on the same site as the shopping centre," he said.
Peet Limited Managing Director and CEO Brendan Gore said the new Village Centre demonstrated the high quality of development taking place across the Golden Bay region.


Today marks the fourth day of PGi's telework series, and if you're like me, winter's bad weather traffic is stressing you out—and it's only December. The answer to saving the stress (and keeping money in your wallet) is to skip the commute and opt for flexible work and/or telework.
The average commute for an American worker is 28 minutes and 22 miles.
80% of telecommuters say they are more productive in the home office.
On average, teleworkers product 43% more business volume than in-office counterparts.
An estimated 40% of U.S. employees hold jobs that could be done at home.
59% of employees believe telecommuting at least part time is the ideal work situation.
Unscheduled absences cost $1,800 per employee per year, and companies with flexible work policies report 63% fewer unscheduled absences.
The average real estate savings for businesses with full-time teleworkers is $10,000 per employee per year.

There is no one simple answer, but instead there are many factors that mean that your diamonds are desirable and unique, and why they hold their value over decades.
Whether it is a rare book, a fine bottle of scotch, or a diamond, something that is rare and unique is often expensive. But what makes it truly valuable is that this rarity coincides with the desire of many to possess it.
Diamonds are sought after the world over by couples as a representation of their love, to sit within their engagement rings and wedding bands.
Diamonds are rare because of the incredibly powerful forces needed to create them. Carbon is one of the most common elements on the Earth, and it is also the base element of every diamond. But what converts simple and common carbon into these brilliant stones is millions of cubic meters of pressure converging on one point.
This process takes place in the depths of the Earth's crust at temperatures and pressures that nothing man-made could withstand.
Next time you see a four-wheel drive on the streets of Sydney, understand that these vehicles weigh roughly two tonnes. Now, with that in mind, consider that there have only been about 350 tonnes of diamonds ever mined.
This comparison often puts into perspective just how rare and precious these stones are.
If you'd like to know more about how I can help you design a custom made engagement ring or unique wedding band, I encourage you to make an appointment so we can meet in person. When we meet I will explain how I take these unique, rare and valuable stones and use them to create you and your partner custom rings to celebrate your commitment to each other.

Northleaf buys 90% stake in Belgium's Douglas liquid storage terminal
Himaja 2 weeks ago
Funds managed by private equity firm Northleaf Capital Partners (Northleaf) have acquired a 90% stake in Douglas Terminals from Hartree and Ghent Transport & Storage (GTS).
The remaining 10% in the terminal will be retained with GTS.
The financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Located in the Port of Ghent, Belgium, Douglas Terminals is a 557,000m³ liquid bulk storage terminal.
It comprises 17 tanks with a capacity to store jet fuel, gas, oil, diesel and biodiesel.
Northleaf managing director Roderick Gadsby said: "Direct investments in high-quality bulk liquid storage assets are consistent with Northleaf's strategy and offer our investors significant potential for stable, long-term returns.
Roderick added that these investments would strengthen and diversify Northleaf's portfolio of bulk liquid storage assets, which currently include investments in the US, UK, Belgium, Australia and New Zealand.
Liquid storage terminal operations by Hartree and GTS began in 2017. Under a management services agreement, GTS will operate the Douglas Terminals.
Under the transaction, all the entities involved in the deal have agreed to jointly develop Max Terminals, a new liquid storage terminal to be located adjacent to the Douglas Terminals site.
Hartree director Heiko Voelker said: "We look forward to partnering with Northleaf on the development of Max Terminals in the future."

What Game is Right for You? The UPDATED, MUCH LONGER VERSION!
This is a questionare which will tell you which story theme is best for you.
Meh, I pretty much already figured I would get the "fantasy" one... only one thing I found wrong with this, which is that you asked players to choose between storygames they may not have even played, which can be a little strange, and usually causes the player to guess based on the title, skewing the results. Other than that, it was fun, a couple parts were quite funny, and it was a good way to waste 5 minutes.
This was alright, I just didn't really like this format of questions.
I liked this story. Plz make more!

BREAKING NEWS: Ravens Cut Ray Rice After Full Domestic Violence Video Released
September 8, 2014 in Blogs
By AlterNet
TMZ releases shocking footage of the Ravens player punching his then-fiancé.
A shocking new video released today by TMZ shows Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice punching his then-fiancé Janay Palmer in the elevator of an Atlantic City casino. As a result of the leaked footage, the Ravens announced today in a curt Twitter post that they terminated his contract with the team.
Rice had previously been ordered to serve a two-game suspension for another video of the incident, which shows him dragging the unconscious Palmer out of the elevator. Though his light punishment drew criticism, Rice claimed that the incident had spurred him to change. At a press conference in July, which he held with Palmer, who is now his wife, Rice called his actions "inexcusable" and said that the couple was undergoing counseling.
The league's position on the issue continued to evolve, with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell coming forward in August with an acknowledgement that they could have done more to follow up on the incident. He established a new policy that mandates that any player will receive a lifetime ban for a second domestic abuse violation. Rice's termination serves as further evidence that the NFL is finally taking this issue seriously. After all, it took the commissioner several months to suspend him after the initial video was released, but it took only hours for the second clip to force him out of the league.
We'll have more on this story as it continues to develop.
WARNING: This footage contains graphic scenes of domestic abuse..

Verse 11:1 says "The whole earth had one language...." Previous verses, however, indicate there were already different languages (e.g., 10:31). How can this be?
The Rainbow symbolizes the idea that the world deserves destruction, but Hashem 'holds back' due to His promise to Noach. The rainbow's shape hints to this idea, since it is like an archer's bow. This symbolizes that the world deserves to be devastated as though by an armed warrior. However, the bow of the rainbow points upwards, away from the earth. This is as though the archer is pointing the bow away from his victim, symbolizing that Hashem will not destroy the world.
6:9 - Their good deeds.
6:1 - Through promiscuity and idolatry.
6:14 - So people would see him building the ark, find out about the impending flood, and possibly repent.

9:3,4 - Eating meat, except for limbs or blood taken from a live animal.
9:7 - To equate one who abstains from having children to one who commits murder.
9:23 - The mitzva of tzitzis.
10:9 - He used words to ensnare the minds of people, convincing them to rebel against Hashem.
10:11 - He saw his children were being influenced by the wicked Nimrod.
11:9 - Because the people in the time of the Tower of Babel were unified - they acted with love and friendship towards one another.
11:29 - The word 'yiscah' is related to the Hebrew word 'to see.' Sarah was called Yiscah because she could 'see' the future via prophecy. Also, because of her beauty, everyone would gaze at her.
Everyone knew the original language - Lashon Hakodesh. In addition, various families began developing different languages. Hashem 'mixed up' their languages at the Tower of Babel by causing them to forget Lashon Hakodesh.

Seriously BoM, when is it going to rain?
THERE'S a damn good chance of 50mm of rain across the whole region for February, the Bureau of Meteorology say.
Even better, there's more than an 85 per cent chance of 100mm of rain for the Byron Shire, and an 85 per cent chance of these totals for Ballina and Lismore.
So rain is coming people, keep your fingers crossed.
Unfortunately chances drop right back to half for rainfall to exceed 200mm on the coast with a 35 per cent chance of rainfall exceeding this in Lismore and surrounds.
Residents are getting creative with their attempts to attract rain - Dave Buku posted a few tips to Byron Bay Community Board which included: "Hang out the washing, make plans for a BBQ, wash your car, mow the lawn, go for a picnic, water the garden and whatever else you can think of to tempt ol' Murphy".
What days the rain will come is not possible to say as the bureau doesn't forecast beyond seven days but Elders Weather has given an indication of when we could expect some.
"Over southern and eastern Australia the cold front events with potential to bring widespread rain are now expected about February 8 to February 12, February 16 to February 20, and March 1 to March 5," their 28-day forecast reads.
According to the site, the days with a high chance of rainfall (75 per cent) are February 5, 6 and 12.
Any rain is good at this point with the drought intensifying but unfortunately BoM's latest climate outlook released yesterday predicts February to April is likely to be drier than average for north-east NSW.
"Days and nights are very likely to be warmer than average for most of Australia," BoM said.
"This follows Australia's warmest December and what looks almost certain to be the warmest January on record."
There's a 75 per cent chance of coastal areas Byron Bay and Ballina receiving 400mm of rain during those three months, 300mm for Lismore and 200mm for towns west of here.
BoM senior climatoligist Robyn Duell said further towards April it looks likely to be drier than usual.
"The Northern Rivers typically see 100-200mm during February, with even higher totals near the coast," she said.
"This February, there is no obvious patterns in the ocean temperature surrounding Australia which point towards it being an unusual month in terms of rainfall this February - but as we move into April the odds increase of drier than usual conditions."

East Elmhurst Apartments for Rent
About East Elmhurst Neighborhood
East Elmhurst is a middle-class neighborhood in the northeast area of Queens, located east of Jackson Heights and north of Corona. It includes La Guardia airport and is on the shore of Flushing Bay. The neighborhood was among the first where African Americans could buy homes, and today it remains prominently black and boasts a significant black history—Malcolm X, Dizzie Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, and Ella Fitzgerald all lived within its bounds. It has a consistent homey feel, with unfussy two-story houses populated by the same families who first moved in in the 60s and 70s. The community has a tight bond and many are active in neighborhood clubs and community groups. Neighbors relish their grassy backyards and views of a Manhattan skyline, and many say they don't plan to leave any time soon.

Q: Korg Nanokey MIDI Controller for Arduino? I have a Korg NanoKey which I'd like to use to control a simple synthesizer I've designed on the Arduino platform. (I have an Arduino Uno.) Basically, I don't care about MIDI, I just want to read what note the keyboard has pressed down, but if MIDI is the only way I can do that, then it's okay with me. So my big question is, how do I do this? I haven't been able to find anyone else on the Internet who has already done this.
But more specifically, I see two challenges: First, I'd like to plug my NanoKey directly into the Arduino's USB port, but then I'm wondering if the Arduino would provide the necessary power to the NanoKey. Second, I'm not sure what protocol I would be reading. Can I just read MIDI signals as described in this tutorial?

A: I don't want to curb your enthusiasm but what you're attempting might be a bit hard basket. A USB system consists of a host controller and one or more peripheral devices. It's the host that controls traffic flow to the devices which means that devices can't transmit data on the bus without an explicit request from the host controller.
I'm not familiar with either the nanoKey or the Arduino platform but I'd be fairly confident that the nanoKey is a USB "device", normally connected to a computer which would act as the host. So what you would need for this system to work is for the Arduino to act as the host when communicating with the nanoKey. The Arduino schematic shows that the Arduino Uno uses an ATmega8U2 for USB coms. Unfortunately the ATmega8U2 is a USB device, so you've got two peripheral devices but no host controller to facilitate the transfer of data between them. You'd be better off using a development board for a micro that provides either USB Host or USB On-the-Go.

A: I opened up a Korg Nano controller yesterday and was surprised to discover that there's an AVR mega32 inside.  It would be a significant undertaking, but with a bit of work you could probably work out the schematic and reprogram it yourself using their programming header breakout.  You might not end up with much more functionality than you've got this other way, but it would be very educational.

A: I agree with the Jono - you are biting off a lot - it might even end up easiest to hook the keys up to the Arduino directly - tearing out the electronics and figuring out a way to multiplex the keys into a single channel without losing polyphony (resistor 'ladder' maybe). I any case, good luck. Amusingly, you'd making an analog keyboard to plug into a digital synthesizer.
Quick and Dirty Arduino MIDI Over USB demonstrates how to send/receive MIDI out over USB, but unfortunately, this probably isn't any help for what you are trying to do, since he's found a way to send and receive MIDI signals from a USB host, not act as a USB host himself - the opposite of your problem. However, I thought perhaps it would be of use, if you ever wanted to control your device from a computer.

A: As mentioned in the other posts, you would need to use a separate chip to provide the USB Host interface. Here's a great guide to using the USB Host shield by Circuits@Home to interface with an Akai LPK25 (USB Midi Keyboard).
http://blog.makezine.com/2010/11/30/usbhacking/
The Arduino sketch is provided, so you should be able to try it out, however debugging the USB Host connection could get tricky real fast if it doesn't work out of the box.

Raptors humble Nets in blowout fashion, 122-105
By Anthony Puccio Jan 11, 2019, 9:50pm EST
Share All sharing options for: Raptors humble Nets in blowout fashion, 122-105
John E. Sokolowski-USA TODAY Sports
Revenge they sought. Revenge they got.
The last time the Nets and Raptors met, the Nets took home an overtime victory that sparked them onto a seven-game win streak. It's the reason why we're talking playoffs in Brooklyn, not tanking.
But it didn't look that way on Friday night.
The Raptors (32-12) — now winners of four straight — absolutely annihilated the Nets (21-23), 122-105, Friday night at the Scotiabank Arena. The Nets, who entered Friday as the seven seed in the East, knew it would be no easy task to take down the two seed, especially in Toronto where the Raptors are 18-4.
All looked fine and dandy in the first quarter. The Nets dropped 35 points and D'Angelo Russell had 12 points, six rebounds and five assists. It looked like it might be a tightly contested match-up with Russell leading the way.
But that wasn't the case.
While Russell handled his own, the Raptors upped their physicality in the second quarter and the game changed real quick. They finished the second quarter on a 15-3 run — 36-18 second quarter advantage — and led by 11 at half.
Then, they out-scored the Nets 35-22 in the third quarter and took a 24-point lead entering the fourth. O-V-E-R.
And so, Kenny Atkinson inserted two-way players Theo Pinson and Alan Williams. Both provided a jolt, along with Shabazz Napier, and went on a 14-0 run to cut a 26-point deficit down to 12. It was a nice run and a good look for the guys used to playing on Long Island, but that's as close as it got.
The Nets don't often lose in blowout fashion, but the Raptors showed the Nets why they still have a long ways to go.
In fact, in the post-game, that was the phrase Atkinson used — "a long ways to go" — to describe how the Nets have been playing. The coach also criticized the Nets effort and execution. "Not often I say this about our team," Atkinson said.
Atkinson also expressed concern about Spencer Dinwiddie who had another subpar game, going 1-of-7 and scoring only eight points.
Atkinson admitted Spencer Dinwiddie "is in a slump right now," and "we need him to get out of it."
And it's only going to get tougher. This was the first game of a brutal three-game stretch. The Nets will face the Boston Celtics on Monday, and then the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.
Russell finished the night with 24 points, six rebounds and nine assists in 27 minutes. Other than DLo, Shabazz Napier was one of few to step up with 15 points in 26 minutes. Jarrett Allen played well with nine points and 12 rebounds ... and added Kawhi Leonard to his list of victims.
Add Kawhi to the list.@_bigjayy_ | #WeGoHard pic.twitter.com/fTdernkkS6
— Brooklyn Nets (@BrooklynNets) January 12, 2019
For Toronto, eight players finished in double figures, led by Leonard (20 points, 11 rebounds).
PLAYOFFS...!
The Nets entered Friday night's game as the seven seed in the East — 1⁄2 game out of sixth, 1⁄2 out of eighth and 2.5 games out of ninth. They're in good shape, but they have a brutal stretch of games coming up.
When the morning came, the Nets were still in seventh, a game out of sixth, a half-game ahead of eighth and two games ahead of ninth.
DLO MILESTONE
Russell's 24 points tonight marked his single-season career-high 20th game with 20+ points. His previous high was 19 such games in the 2016-17 season with the Lakers.
JOE HARRIS, SHOOTER
The Nets have released a video on Twitter aimed at getting Joe Harris to Las Vegas and the three-point shooting contest. Harris of course is second in the NBA in shooting this season, after leading the league post All-Star Break last year.
Shooting, as Rodions Kurucs says in the video, is his life...
Hey @NBA, Joe Harris lives to shoot. So give the people what they want and put Joey Buckets in the Three-Point Contest #NBAAllStar pic.twitter.com/oKvyHpYEXQ
It's one of two videos tweeted this week on Harris shooting prowess. Rob Perez pushed Harris to see what he could do with a Bird Box blindfold.
91 out of 105 in-game situation shots is his record during practice, Joe says.
I wanted to see what it took for him to actually miss when standing still and no defenders.
Still workshopping ideas because blindfold isnt working.
Follow @ActionNetworkHQ for full story. pic.twitter.com/q8tD8RgrmN
— Rob Perez (@WorldWideWob) January 8, 2019
"It was fun," said Harris.
"The 'Bird Box' thing was with Rob Perez, which was fun. He's a pretty good guy, a fun interview. And then the video that came out was with the Nets' PR department. It was fun. We went out in different parts of Brooklyn and had a lot of fun with it.
"I thought it was hilarious. That was the whole point, to kind of make light of the situation and just have some fun with it."
TWO-WAY PLAYERS STEPPING UP
Alan Williams story has been pretty wild this week. The Nets waived Big Sauce after he approached them with a better opportunity in China. It didn't work out and the deal fell through.
The Nets re-signed Williams to a two-way deal on Thursday. Friday, he was out there making his Brooklyn Nets debut.
Theo Pinson finished with nine points in 13 minutes, Williams with eight points and eight rebounds in nine minutes (!) Pinson played 40 minutes Thursday night and came away with a 43-point performance that included seven three's. He hit another three —his first in the NBA— Friday night.
TWO-HEADED SNAKE TO ALL-STAR WEEKEND?
We know Jarrett Allen, Rodions Kurucs and Joe Harris should all be locks to head to Charlotte for All-Star Weekend in February, with Allen and Kurucs likely for the USA vs. World rookie-sophomore challenge, and Harris, of course, in the 3-point contest.
But how about Spencer Dinwiddie and D'Angelo Russell aka the "Two-headed snake"? Dinwiddie shared his thoughts on Instagram.
Looks good to me. What say you @dloading?
A post shared by Spencer Dinwiddie (@sdinwiddie_2508) on Jan 10, 2019 at 6:33pm PST
"Hell yea," said DLo.
Russell is averaging 18.3 points and 6.3 assists (both career high's), while Dinwiddie is averaging 17.1 points and 5.1 assists.
BIG TRADES? NAH. LEVERT'S COMING BACK
In a podcast discussion on the trade deadline, Adrian Wojnarowski and Bobby Marks agreed that while the Nets could make a deal at the deadline, they're likely to be a big winner even if they don't.
Woj states biggest acquisition Nets are going to make is: Caris Levert.

A student of Indian Institute of Technology-Kanpur (IIT-K) was found hanging from his hostel room, police in this Uttar Pradesh town said Friday, suspecting that he was depressed over a failed love affair.
Mahtab Ahmed, 18, a first year student of B.Tech material science and engineering from Kannauj, was found hanging from the ceiling fan in his room Thursday.
While no suicide note was found, police believe Ahmed was in depression, as evident from the writing on the walls of his room.
'I am tired of IIT...What is the meaning of happiness, yet trying to get answer,' wrote Ahmed on one of the walls.
'We suspect a failed love affair as one of the possible reasons... We have learnt that Mahtab was having a love affair with a girl, who was from outside the campus,' a senior police officer told IANS.
'We have also come to know that Mahtab used to write poems over his relationship with the girl, who is yet to be identified,' he added.
According to IIT-K Registrar Sanjeev Kashalkar, the suicide was detected Thursday evening when Ahmed did not respond to the repeated door knocks by his friends.
'We informed the police and they broke open the door,' said Kashalkar.

Former Anglo Irish Bank shareholders invited to make submissions on pre-bailout shares
Former Anglo Irish Bank shareholders are being invited to contact a Government-appointed official who must determine whether their investment had any value when the bank was nationalised in January 2009.
Given the scale of losses borne by taxpayers who carried the €30bn costs of bailing out Anglo Irish Bank there is no prospect of a pay out for its former shareholders.
Following its nationalisation the bust bank was put into a special liquidation in 2013 under the control of Kieran Wallace and Eamonn Richardson of KPMG. They are still worked through the liquidation, with billions of euro of assets sold off and claims being settled with creditors including taxpayers who bailed out the stricken lender and controversially with some bondholders.
Separately, on November 16 last year, another official, David Tynan who is a partner at PwC, was appointed as Assessor to determine the fair and reasonable value of shares transferred and rights extinguished as a result of the State takeover of Anglo, under the terms of the 2009 nationalisation.
From Thursday, David Tynan will begin writing to former shareholders and advertising to alert anyone else with a possible claim, that he has begun that work. A website has been set up with details of the process.
Former investors are invited to make submissions in respect of the value of their former shares or other rights in Anglo Irish Bank as at 15 January 2009.
Submissions must be made in writing by email or by post by March 29 this year.
Following an initial assessment, a copy of a draft report will be sent to anyone who has made a valid submission, or who has been nominated by the Minister for Finance to receive a copy.
Anglo Irish Bank's shares had collapsed well ahead of its nationalisation. They traded at €0.22 each on January 15, 2009. The same shares had peaked at €17 each in May 2007.

XSite Modular announces that PNG DataCo Limited (DataCo) has awarded the company a contract to design and build a modular cable landing station (MCLS) in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea.
To be completed in Q3 2019, the landing station will be part of the Coral Sea Cable System (CSCS), a 4,700 km subsea network connecting Sydney, Australia to Port Moresby and Honiara in the Solomon Islands. With steadily growing market share, the PNG station is one of 17 facilities XSite has built or is in the process of building in the region.
The CSCS project also includes a 730-km submarine cable system connecting Honiara to Auki (Malaita Island), Noro (New Georgia Island) and Taro Island. The four fiber-pair international system will deliver a minimum of 20 Tbps capacity to Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands respectively, bringing a total capacity of 40 Tbps. Australia will provide the majority funding for this subsea cable, with the Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands governments jointly contributing up to one-third of project costs.
The contract to design and build an MCLS for DataCo comes at a time when XSite has experienced a surge in demand for its permanent steel and concrete buildings, which are designed to a 50-year lifespan, nearly maintenance free and constructed using modular technology. XSite's MCLS will provide the CSCS network with critical services including cooling, ventilation, fire detection and suppression, AC backup power, cable management, access control, video surveillance and a building management system, in addition to office space.
The project is being managed by Gravelroad, an independent consulting firm active in the ICT and telecom sectors, among other industries. XSite's MCLS, on which fabrication began this month, will ultimately ship to Brisbane, Australia or Singapore and then onward to Papua New Guinea where it will be set, assembled and tested to meet the highest standards for critical infrastructure.


PGA Golf Club (Wanamaker course) in Florida. Top golf courses of USA: Florida.
Just off I-95 above Port St Lucie you'll find the PGA Golf Club and its three excellent championship courses - this fabulous triumvirate, comprising two layouts by Tom Fazio (the Ryder and Wanamaker) and one by Pete Dye, are owned and operated by the PGA of America - whereas Scottish flavours permeate the Dye, and Carolina characteristics are found in the Ryder course, the Wanamaker is a classic Florida layout - set against a backdrop of wetlands, palm trees and palmettos, the course attractively weaves its way in two clockwise nine-hole loops - an equal distribution of small lakes, wetland areas and housing flank the holes as they follow the gentle, natural contours of the flowing terrain - large, often deep bunkers stand-out along the generally good-width fairways and around the large and undulating greens - when stylish bunkering is not guarding the putting surfaces, then water will doubtless be present to threaten your approach shots - although some housing is present, the Wanamaker has a mainly open and natural feel - expansive wetland areas, stands of tall pine trees and a liberal scattering of stockier palms predominate - some pleasant elevation changes are found at holes like the par-4 3rd and downhill par-3 6th - the wonderfully elevated green at the short par-4 15th is well worth hitting rather than leaking right into a cavernously deep awaiting bunker - this classically Floridian fusion of small lakes, wetlands and occasional woodland is immaculately presented here on the Wanamaker.
18-hole par-72 Dye course (7215 yds from back tees); 18-hole par-72 Ryder course (7056 yds).
PGA Golf Club's Wanamaker course takes its name from Rodman Wanamaker, the New York City department store magnate, who in 1916 inspired the birth of the PGA of America, and whose trophy is presented to the winner of the US PGA Championship, one of four Majors in the mens' professional game. | The PGA Village offers a "PGA Experience" like no other, with two other top quality championship courses, as well as a 6-hole pitch and putt course; the PGA Learning & Performance centre; state of the art practice, technology and fitness facilities; PGA of America Golf School and a PGA Historical Center (where you can see golf's four major Championship trophies on display). | The PGA Golf Club is an Audubon International Signature Status facility.
