TN, Kerala goes to polls tomorrow, parties locked in multi-
cornered contests
Chennai/Thiruvananthapuram, May 15 (PTI) Tamil Nadu and Kerala goes to polls tomorrow that will decide the fate of Chief Ministers Jayalalithaa and Oommen Chandy and their arch rivals and nonagenarians M Karunanidhi and V S Achutanandan in their respective states which will witness multi-cornered contests. Puducherry also goes to the polls tomorrow. Counting of votes in Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Puducherry where rival candidates fought a gruelling two-month campaign in peak summer along with West Bengal and Assam will be taken up on May 19 to decide the outcome of what is being described as mini general elections. The BJP is seeking to make inroads in Tamil Nadu and Kerala where the power has oscillated between the AIADMK and the DMK and the Congress-led United Democratic Front(UDF) and the CPI-M led Left Democratic Front(LDF) respectively for decades. Besides AIADMK supremo Jayalalithaa and 91-year-old wheelchair-bound Karunanidhi, the poll arena in Tamil Nadu also has two other chief ministerial candidates--actor-turned politician Vijayakant of DMDK-PWF-TMC combine and PMKs Anbumani Ramadoss. A total of 3,740 aspirants are in the fray for the 233 assembly seats.
Of the total 234 constituencies, polling will be held in 233 seats as the Election Commission had deferred the process in Aravakurichi segment in Karur district to May 23 due to "unlawful" activities of candidates and political parties in "bribing" voters. Counting of votes in Aravakurichi will be taken up on May 25. Election authorities have seized more than Rs 100 crore unaccounted cash in the state, the largest among the five states involved in the Assembly polls.
More than a lakh police and paramilitary personnel would man over 65,000 polling booths across the state, which is witnessing a multi-cornered contest also featuring BJP, seeking to make a mark along with a few minor allies.
Jayalalithaa, seeking a second successive term in office, and Karunanidhi, eyeing to lead DMK to power after back-to-back drubbings in the 2011 assembly and 2014 Lok Sabha elections, are contesting from R K Nagar in Chennai and Thiruvarur respectively.
R K Nagar has the maximum number of candidates at 45, with DMK (Shimla Muthuchozhan) and VCK (Vasanthi Devi) also fielding women nominees to take on Jayalalithaa. BJPs M N Raja is also in the fray.
BJPs candidates include its National Secretary H Raja and state President Tamilisai Sounderrajan.
Positioning itself as a viable third front, the combine of DMDK, Peoples Welfare Front comprising Vaikos MDMK, CPI-M, CPI and VCK and Tamil Maanila Congress led by G K Vasan has also attacked both DMK and AIADMK, which have ruled the state alternately in recent decades, and pushed for a change. Tamil Nadu is known to generally elect one clear winner from the two Dravidian giants, DMK and AIADMK, since 1967. In Kerala, the ruling UDF and LDF, which had gone hammer and tongs at each other during the electioneering, are keeping their fingers crossed even as BJP is hoping to get a toe-hold.
A total of 1,203 candidates, including 109 women, are contesting for the 140 assembly seats.(MORE) PTI SA UD LGK VS RC GSN GSN

With the help of two hired drivers, we crossed the border into the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It took us about 30 Minutes as we had to stop at custom checkpoints to show them the card we got from their office. We busted out at a small town called Owode somewhere along the Sango-Idioroko road. We had to stop there as we saw numerous other tokunbo vehicles crossed from Benin Republic that night.
Owode was like a rendezvous point for the smugglers.
"Since we paid clearance and custom duties, why did we have to go through the bush" i asked Chike.
" The cars that uses the bush path are the cars that are ten years old or more" he said as he educated me on the Federal Government laws on Tokunbo vehicles, cloths, tyres etc. We waited at Owode as more cars came out of the bush like rabbits coming out of their underground holes. We relaxed the in the front car seats and laid on them as time heads towards dawn. Around 5am, it was time to start moving again. Some of the cars had left already.
We waited until some guy i had never seen before, came and gave us some forged documents for our vehicles. The documents were of the the two vehicles we purchased with their Engine and Chassiss numbers written on them. The surprise package yet was that this new documents shows that we cleared our vehicles at the Apapa wharf of Lagos Nigeria. Chike explained that we will need that since we were going down to Onitsha to sell the cars. We left Owode aroud half past 6am and moved towards Sango. We arrived Lagos later and headed towards Ojota and Lagos Ibadan Express route.
During our drive to Lagos, we encountered a few more police check points, army, navy, airforce, boys brigade, boys scout, Man o war etc as each group recieved some more tips from us. At a stage, Chike had to go down and settled them upfront while giving them our vehicle number. Worthy of note here was the fact that the forged documents also came with a fake number plate. Some cops proved sturborn but we eventually made it to Ibadan expessway and the rest of the Journey to Onitsha was smooth except occassional tips here and there.
We arrived at Onitsha that same evening amidst cheers from from our peers and some young ladies who lived in the same street with us. We ate some foods and took one of the cars out for meriment: aftall we just bought two cars. Whether we will sell them or not is our business. After drinks and foods that evening, we took up some girls and headed to a chalet called Royal G In a reserved area called Fizel Estate in Awada Onitsha… We had more drinks and booked our rooms for action.
Worthy to note here again was that the girl i picked up had been on my most wanted list for a long time. She has always snubbed me, claiming one thing or the other for a reason BUT things were different on that very day. I just bought my first car and i had not announced that it was for sale.
Our romance started as we hit our room. This time, i inititated the attack. It must have been the alcohol coupled with some confidence derived from buying a car. Her name was Azuka, the most beautiful girl in the street; atleast to my own eyes. they sell liquor along the street and guys frequent their shop just because of her. I was one of them.
I started by kissing her hands, i got no slap or scolding so i extended the kiss to her neck as she gave me a welcome onboard smile.Then i kissed her lips which was the original target all those while. She responded.
We hugged and kissed and caressed. Later we laid on the single bed with white clean sheets and two pillows. She asked if i would marry her when she finished school.
"Yes ofcourse, i will marry you" i blurted out unconvincingly. How can any sane man refuse to marry her date at a dangerous time like that? she smiled as she reminded me that men can promise anything just to get into a woman's pant.
I brushed my hand past her beautifully packed bre*sts. She did not beat or remove my hand. I touched them again, this time pressing them harder as she moaned inaudibly. I removed the Tshirt from her body and unhooked her bra.
I sucked the br3asts as she twists all over the bed. I slipped my right hand between her laps as she kept twisting her body and kissed my lips amateurly. I remembered that we were given just an hour to round up otherwise we pay more money for the room. That didnt bother me anyway, i just bought a car; what effect was a 400 naira per hour room going to have on my money.
I touched her pants and started removing them while my mouth played ludo with her two pointed arsenals. my diiick was already hard as i fumbled to remove my trousers.
What! Now of all time. How come Chike didnt cover that part. I was torn between fck*ing her with or without condom as my mind raced through the dangers of not using condom. I wasnt scared of contracting any disease. I was more afraid of getting her pregnant.
Eventually i did what almost every naive young man would do. I drove into Azuka without tyres and hoped for the best to happen. It was a memorable evening.
After the show, she insisted that we drove them back to their shop, i guessed they wanted to show off their new boyfriends who just bought two cars.
– Chike can own the cars for now as i disappeared from the vicinity down to my building where my elder brother was eagerly waiting for me to give me advice on how to save money..
Na soo!… At a time!, no time!..

In November 2014, at Berodi village of Gondia district, close to Nagzira wildlife sanctuary, a sloth bear gave birth to cubs in the outhouse of Sarpanch Vasanta Hatwar's home. The village head panicked. He wrote to forest department demanding the animal be eliminated before it attacked anyone or else he would burn down the outhouse itself.
An angry mob had gathered threatening the forest officials. Man-animal conflicts are common in such areas with locals only too eager to have animals eliminated. At a time when conservationists are not welcome, 23-year-old Tejas Parshionikar dared to intervene. His words led to a change of heart. "The sarpanch was baying for bear family's blood but I could convince him," said Tejas.
"I asked the sarpanch, how would he treat a woman who came to his house for childbirth? This bear found your home a safe abode for its little ones. Would you throw out someone who sought refuge in your place? It is as sinful as harming a woman with a newborn?" he recalled.
The words had an effect on Hatwar who then let the animal stay. When cubs were grown enough, them and mother bear moved out and none was harmed, Tejas said. The same approach helped at two more places.
A graduate in computer science, Tejas is a conservationist by passion and trekker by profession. His love for wildlife began during the safari trips to nearby tiger reserves. He got sensitized toward issues like depleting green cover, falling tiger population, and man-animal conflict. He set up an NGO, Save Ecosystem and Tiger (SEAT). Within a short span, the youngster gained the expertise of a veteran.
In 2014, while tracking wolves near Paradgaon lake off Umred Road, nearly 20km from city, he spotted one that had his mouth stuck in a plastic container. "The animal was tracked for nearly four hours and finally netted. The forest officials reached soon. Finally, it was held by its tail and trapped in a net. The box was removed and a life was saved," Tejas said.
Tejas's team also discovered there were tigers in Lendezari sub-division near Tumsar range. "This is a territorial forest, outside the boundaries of a wildlife sanctuary. We look for areas where there is a likely presence of big cats. The Lendezari patch seemed to have the potential and there was local intelligence about the presence of tigers too," he said.
"Our team inspected the area on foot and found pugmarks. After that, the forest department installed camera traps. It was found that the area had nine tigers. The patch, which otherwise did not get much attention, now has a special focus for tiger conservation," he added.
SEAT had a key role in handling a tiger that had strayed into a marriage function at a village in neighboring Balaghat district of Madhya Pradesh. The animal was tranquilized in Tumsar range under Bhandara district of Maharashtra. The team helped the experts, who tranquilized it, track the animal.
"We followed it on foot, sometimes getting as close as a few meters. It appeared as harmless as a pet dog," Tejas said. The NGO has also formed prompt reaction teams (PRT) among villagers to take initiative during conflict situations. His aim is to create a more suitable ecosystem for conservation.

I wish to convert it into rows and columns so that it can be stored in a database. I tried the following on MariaDB:
 LOAD XML LOCAL INFILE '<path>.xml'
-> INTO TABLE mytbl(id, rep, c_date, D_name,...);

But it resulted in error ERROR 1148 (42000): The used command is not allowed with this MariaDB version . How do I go out to convert the xml file to a rows and tables?
I am using MariaDB on Xampp.
EDIT: version 10.1.19-MariaDB

Following the release of Prokofiev's "Cantata for the 20th Anniversary of the October Revolution", Kirill Karabits dedicates his next audite recording with the Weimar Staatskapelle to the "Weimar" Strauss.
Weimar was not only the metropolis of the classical era that acquired world fame thanks to Goethe and Schiller. Weimar was also the domain of great musicians: Franz Liszt served as Kapellmeister in the city and invented the genre of the symphonic poem. Richard Strauss followed in his footsteps when he, as Kapellmeister from 1889 until 1894, presented his own first symphonic poems, "Macbeth" and "Don Juan", at the helm of the Weimar court orchestra. Kirill Karabits, Generalmusikdirektor of the Deutsches Nationaltheater since 2016, now presents, alongside today's Weimar Staatskapelle, not only these two major works of his great predecessor, but also "Tod und Verklärung" (Death and Transfiguration), which Strauss had completed in Weimar. The contemporaneous Festmarsch in C major, TrV157 – Strauss' anniversary gift to "Die Wilde Gung'l", the Munich orchestra he had conducted in his youth – is a true rarity, rounding off this recording.
Next month, audite will be presenting "Don Juan" with Ferenc Fricsay and the RIAS Symphony Orchestra in what promises to provide an intriguing historical comparison.

Lawsuit against St. Cloud Diocese alleges sexual assault, cover-up →
St. Cloud diocese sued for alleged abuse
(StarTribune) Attorneys for a 47-year-old man filed suit Tuesday in Minneapolis claiming he was sexually abused about 40 years ago by a former Catholic deacon and prominent Minnesota child welfare advocate.
Identified as "John Doe HT" in the complaint, the man alleges he was 6 years old when Michael W. Weber molested him during a camping trip in 1970 at a lake near Alexandria, Minn. At the time, Weber was a deacon at Church of the Holy Spirit in St. Cloud.
"It's my sincere desire Michael Weber be held responsible for his crimes," said the man, who resides in the state of Virginia and who identified himself as Terry when he spoke to reporters in St. Paul by telephone. "Hopefully, this can save some other kids from having to go through the same thing."
The suit was announced by St. Paul attorney Jeff Anderson, who has filed multiple sex abuse suits against Catholic clergy, the Twin Cities archdiocese and the Vatican.
The suit, filed in Hennepin County District Court, is the first against Weber, 67, since allegations emerged last month accusing him of molesting two boys about the time he served as the church's deacon from 1969 to 1970. The lawsuit, which names the Diocese of St. Cloud and Weber as defendants, says the diocese knew of Weber's alleged behavior but did not report it to police.
Minneapolis attorney Francis Rondoni, who represents Weber, did not return phone calls on Tuesday seeking comment. Jane Marrin, a diocese spokeswoman, declined to comment, saying the diocese has not yet reviewed the suit.
Rondoni has previously said that it's difficult for Weber to respond "to purported allegations that are more than 40 years old."
Weber "has been a leader in the community here for many decades and has a spotless reputation. And this is very concerning to him," the lawyer said.
Diocese airs allegations
The St. Cloud diocese held a "listening session" at Church of the Holy Spirit on Dec. 4 to air allegations from two St. Cloud men who said they were abused by Weber in 1969, when they were 11 years old. Four other alleged victims came forward at the session, including Terry.
[spoiler]Although the St. Cloud men reported the incidents to law enforcement authorities last month, criminal charges are not likely because the statute of limitations has expired, authorities say.
Since the listening session was announced in mid-November, Weber has resigned from the board of the Greater Twin Cities United Way and other prominent community positions.
He has served as associate director and acting executive director of the National Committee to Prevent Child Abuse. He is past director of Hennepin County Community Services Department and was an assistant commissioner in the state Department of Human Services.
According to the lawsuit, Terry was on the camping trip with a group of Catholic families that included his parents and Weber, who "selected John Doe HT to stay in his tent with him."
The next morning, the child ran screaming to his parents and told them Weber had sexually abused him during the night. The suit said the parents later confronted a counselor employed by the diocese, who discouraged them from going to police and acknowledged treating Weber for pedophilia.
Abuse 'changed everything'
On Tuesday, Terry said the abuse has "affected me in every part of my life, from drug and alcoholic addiction to divorce to low self-esteem to failed relationships with my family. No spiritual life to speak of. I'm still to this day not really a believer, but I hope to be one day. I would say that incident changed me, changed everything about me, from being a nice little innocent kid to the exact opposite."
Anderson said Terry reported the abuse on Dec. 3 to Douglas County authorities, who are still investigating the incident. The suit seeks more than $50,000 in damages, plus attorney's and other fees.
Anderson said that if the diocese had come forward sooner with reports against Weber, he might not have "continued to prosper. … They chose to take a gamble. They chose to take a risk. The risk was [that] other kids would be hurt. They chose instead to protect their reputation."
Four of the alleged victims attended the diocese's listening session 10 days ago — which was not open to the news media. A fifth was represented by someone else at the meeting, Marrin said. A sixth wrote a letter claiming abuse that was noted at the meeting.
The diocese has another listening session planned for Monday at the church.
"At this point, it's still going on," Marrin said.[/spoiler]

Tortas are Mexican Sandwiches with lots of great toppings and so much flavor.
Have you ever heard of or had Tortas? Growing up in California there was no shortage of Mexican restaurants- so I had definitely heard of these. However, I'd never really had the desire to try them.
Well, when my sister came to visit me last week, she made them for us. Now I'm just wondering why it took me so long to try them. They are DELICIOUS!
My sister was taught to make these by her Mother-in-law, who happens to be from Mexico. So, they are pretty much the real deal. We were able to find all the ingredients at a local Wal-Mart. So you should be able to find things rather easily as well. These were the specialty items that you might not have in your pantry already.
The chicken is nice and spicy. I can't handle too much heat, but I thought this was just amazing. My lips were burning a little, but I keep going back for the leftovers. What does that tell you?
There are a variety of toppings you can add to the sandwich. We used guacamole (it was pretty spicy- but make it how you like it), mayonnaise, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, Queso Fresco (a Mexican cheese), and refried beans are an option as well- or just eat them on the side with some Spanish Rice.
The rolls are called Bolillios Rolls. They were also available at Wal-Mart, but I've seen them at other grocery stores as well. We cut the rolls open then lightly buttered them and put them under the broiler so they were nice and toasty. The warmth of the rolls with that buttery crunch was so good against the cool lettuce and guacamole. I think 'fiesta in my mouth' is an accurate description of eating this sandwich. I can't wait to make them again!
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the diced chicken breasts, butter, garlic powder, vinegar, orange juice, cumin, dried onion, Goya Sazon packages, and chicken bouillon. Stirring often, cook until the chicken is cooked though, about 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the can of chipotle peppers with the sauce, but do not break the peppers, unless you like things EXTRA spicy. If the chicken is dry add a little more butter and/ or orange juice.
To serve, spread a small amount of butter of the insides of the rolls and toast them under the broiler. Top the butter with mayo, and then guacamole on one half. Top the guacamole with the cooked chicken, then lettuce, tomatoes, Cotija cheese, onions, jalapenos- whatever toppings you choose. Add the top bun and enjoy. Serve with rice and beans on the side.
Super delicious!!!One of my favorite foods for sure!
Oh yeah! Thanks again for teaching me!

R1.9 billion allocated to extend the Gautrain network
Delivering his budget vote on Thursday, Ismail Vadi said R1.6 billion is the estimated potential spend on skills development, enterprise development and supplier development.
The Gautrain extension project has the capacity to create more than 211,000 direct jobs, says Gauteng MEC for Roads and Transport Ismail Vadi.
Delivering his budget vote on Thursday in the Gauteng Legislature, he said R1.6 billion is the estimated potential spend on skills development, enterprise development and supplier development.
"Passenger demand for the Gautrain has exceeded projections, especially in the peak periods and has resulted in overcrowding and stifled demand. It is therefore necessary to procure more trains and invest in the system so that these trains can run efficiently over the next 10 years," the MEC said.
The Gautrain Management Agency (GMA) has developed a business case within existing funding parameters for Gautrain and has partnered with the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) to arrange for the financing for 12 new trains.
"The capital expenditure for additional rolling stock and supporting infrastructure is expected to sustain about 10,000 jobs in Gauteng. The total government revenue is expected to increase by an estimated R542 million in nominal terms between 2019 and 2023," Vadi said.
The GMA has completed the feasibility study for the extension to the existing Gautrain network. The study was submitted to National Treasury for approval in April 2017. Since then the GMA, Provincial and National Treasury have had engagements to discuss the project in detail.
A decision on the awarding of Treasury Authorisation (TA 1) for the project is expected in the latter half of 2018. Once approval has been granted the planning and Environmental Impact Assessment of Phase 1 will begin.
Metrorail coaches
The Gibela rail manufacturing factory is up and running, and will be officially opened soon.
"Gibela has to supply 3,600 new Metrorail coaches at a cost of R59 billion over a 10-year period ending in 2025. This means that the new Metrorail trains are now being manufactured locally," he said.
The Metrorail rolling stock renewal programme is expected to create 33,000 direct and indirect jobs over the next decade.
In the past financial year, the Gauteng Roads and Transport Department collected R3.7 billion from motor vehicle license and other transport fees.
"This reflects the greater efficiency of our revenue collection systems as well as an increase in the number of vehicles in our province, which currently stands at 4.5 million vehicles," Vadi said.
The MEC said his department remains a major source of income for the Provincial Treasury.
He has requested the South African Geographical Names Committee, through the Gauteng Geographical Names Committee, to initiate the process of public consultations for the naming of eight major arterial routes in the province.
These include the PWV15; N14; R23; R28; R55, R59, R80 and R553.
"Major Gauteng roads should be named after significant leaders who contributed to the freedom of our country and its people, regardless of their race or organisational association," he said.
The provincial department has been allocated R7.7 billion for its budget.
This is apportioned to five key programmes, namely, administration (R359 million); transport infrastructure (R2.5 billion); transport operations (R2.5 billion); transport regulations (R300 million); and Gautrain (R1.9 billion).
"Every rand that will be spent from this budget should contribute to making life more liveable and inclusive for citizens in the Gauteng City Region," the MEC said.
With this budget the Roads Directorate will be upgrading and rehabilitating the K148 in the Eastern Corridor which intersects with the N3 and supports the proposed Tambo -Springs Logistics Hub.
Solomon Mahlangu Drive will also be upgraded from the N4 to K54 in Mamelodi in the Northern Corridor and the P249/1- Phase 2 in the Northern Corridor which links Midrand to the North West Province.
Other road rehabilitation projects include the R55 from Woodmead Drive to Kyalami; the K60 along Waterfall City in the Central and Eastern Corridors; the dualisation of R82 in the Southern Corridor between Johannesburg and Vereeniging as well as the P88/1 between Sebokeng and Westonaria in the Western Corridor.
"The Gauteng City Region, which accounts for the largest share of our country's economic activity, needs a good quality road network to support its sustainable socio-economic growth and development strategy," Vadi said.

Rattaui, Rat-Taui, Raet, Raiyet o Raettaui es una antigua diosa solar egipcia, el aspecto femenino del dios Ra. Su nombre sencillo es, simplemente, la forma femenina del nombre de Ra (Raet). Su nombre largo "Raet-Taui" significa "Raet de las Dos Tierras" (Alto y Bajo Egipto). Es más conocida como esposa del dios Montu.

Orígenes
Está atestiguada desde la Dinastía V, donde Raet hubiera sido la compañera de Ra desde el principio. A pesar de que fue llamada "La que reside en Tebas", "Señora del cielo y los dioses", nunca alcanzó la importancia de Hathor, que también fue considerada esposa de Ra (o, en otros mitos, su hija).

Culto
Rattaui fue también considerada esposa de Montu, y formó una tríada con él y Harpócrates en Karnak y Medamud.

Las fiestas en su honor tenían lugar en el cuarto mes de la estación de la Cosecha (Shemu). Sus centros de culto estuvieron en Medamud, El-Tod y Tebas. En Armant solía estar representada al lado de Iunit, también considerada esposa de Montu.

Se han encontrado fragmentos de un manual del Período Romano en demótico con himnos a Rattaui.

Iconografía
Su representación es escasa. Es mostrada como una mujer que lleva atributos propios de Hathor, con cuernos vacunos que mantienen un disco solar y un ureo en su frente. A veces, se adorna con dos plumas.

Public transport: Bus 758 stops at Sörgärdesgatan. Suggestion: Take the 758 at 8.25 from Heden or 8.29 from Korsvägen.
For questions, ideas or suggestions, please contact benjamin.lindqvist@endian.seIf if you have questions or comments, join the conversation on the Zephyr Slack Channel – https://zephyrproject.slack.com/.
This blog post first ran on the Electronut Labs Website. To see more content from Mahesh Venkitachalam or to learn more about Electronut Labs, visit https://electronut.in/.
I worked for almost two decades in the software industry. In the early 2000s, I was developing applications on Windows, Linux, and various flavours of Unix. On the Windows side, we had Microsoft Visual Studio, MFC, NMake, and CL. On the Linux/Unix side, we had GCC, POSIX and various types of windowing toolkits (X-Window + Motif, anyone?). Cross platform development was a challenge, but even before the advent of fancy tools like Qt and wxWindows, we were able to structure the code so that large parts of it was compatible across the different operating systems.
Compared to that, cross-platform development in the embedded world today is far more difficult. First of all, there are many chip architectures – AVR, ARM, Xtensa, RISC-V, etc., and these chips vary hugely in their capabilities and supported peripherals. Then there are different sorts of toolchains, libraries, and development environments. Not all them can run an OS (or an RTOS) and in many cases, people don't prefer to. Overall, good luck trying to port your code from once device to another! Although efforts like mbed try to address the cross-platform issue, they are restricted to certain chip families.
Why not just use embedded Linux then? You certainly can in many cases, as the huge success of Raspberry Pi shows. But when it comes to resource constrained low power systems, Linux is just too heavy. Enter Zephyr – an RTOS (Real Time Operating System) that is very much influenced by Linux, but designed specifically with the above constraints in mind.
In this project, we will build a BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) device that broadcasts data from a BME280 temperature/humidity sensor. For this, we will use the Zephyr RTOS on the Electronut Labs hackaBLE board based on the Nordic nRF52832 SoC. For programming hackaBLE, we will use the Electronut Labs BumpySWD debugger based on the blackmagicprobe project.
The first thing to do of course, is to install Zephyr. For this task and for all tasks ahead, the official documentation page is your best reference. You can install Zephyr on Linux, Mac, or Windows. But I did it on Linux, and hence this article will reflect that experience. As you go through the official installation procedure, I recommend that you install the Zephyr SDK as well, since it has the required toolchain. Makes it easy to get started.
Now, before we proceed to build our "hello world" application with Zephyr, let's look at a few concepts that are central to working with this RTOS.
Ninja is a build system designed to use with CMake. Apparently it's faster – as ninjas tend to be. In addition to CMake/Ninja, Zephyr is also working on a "meta-tool" called west which will replace the above eventually. But for now you can still use our masked friend.
Your embedded device has a complex hierarchy of components, starting from higher level elements like LEDs and Buttons, down to SoC peripherals like I2C and ADC. In Linux, and in Zephyr, this hierarchy is represented as a device tree. The device tree resides in DTS (Device Tree Source) files – these are human readable text files. In Linux, these are compiled into binary DTB (Device Tree Blob) files using a DTC (Device Tree Compiler). In Zephyr, to reduce overhead, the DTS information is just used during compile time. The DTS files are naturally hierarchical. For example the nrf52840_pca10056.dts includes nrf52840_qiaa.dtsi, which in turn includes nrf52840.dtsi – going from board to chip variant to the core SoC.
If you are not familiar with device trees, the whole thing might seem a bit odd. But consider this: how does the Linux kernel support such a huge variety of third party devices without having to recompile the code every time? Because the device information can be passed into the kernel as a binary "blob" – the DTB.
So how do you get Zephyr to talk to your particular device? Chances are that a variant of this device is already supported by the kernel. So you take the relevant DTS and either make a modified copy of it, or write an overlay for it – something that adds or modifies the existing device so it matches yours. The DTS file along with some other configuration files constitute the "board files" for your device. We'll be creating these files for hackaBLE in this project, so things will become clearer further ahead.
Enabling only what you need is critical for embedded systems, since it has a direct impact on things like power consumption, memory, and performance.
Now let's put this above knowledge to some use by building a couple of Zephyr applications on hackaBLE.
You need the following hardware to build this project.
The hackaBLE board is not directly supported by Zephyr, so the first thing we want to do is create the required board files. hackaBLE uses the Nordic nRF52832 SoC, so we'll just modify the board files for the Nordic nRF52832-DK board which is already supported by Zephyr, and listed under nrf52_pca10040.
This is required for us to program hackaBLE using the Bumpy SWD debugger, which is based on blackmagicprobe. Next, we'll edit the DTS file to map the correct pins to the peripherals we will be using.
We need to use I2C and UART in this project, so we've correspondingly mapped the nRF52832 SoC peripherals to convenient pin numbers on hackaBLE.
Remember our discussion on Kconfig? The above file tells CMake that we want to enable GPIOs and the UART console.
Let's go through the above code quickly. The first thing it does is to get the GPIO_0 device binding – again, this come from the DTS file, and nRF52832 has only one GPIO port – P0. We then configure P0.17 – the LED red channel – as an output. In the main loop, all we do is flash the LED and print "hello world", with delays in between. The printk outputs to the serial port, as per our config file which has enabled UART console – CONFIG_UART_CONSOLE=y.
Before we upload the code, let's take a look at the hardware hookup.
For this project, hook up the hardware as follows so it matches up with our DTS and config files.
From the above, you also get an idea of my workflow. I use the byobu terminal multiplexer, and the four screens from top left, going anti-clockwise are – zephyr build, USB monitoring using dmesg -w, picocom output, and a Python shell for calculations.
Now that we've got "hello" going. let's try something more interesting.
In this project, we're going to enable the Zephyr BLE stack, communicate with the BME280 sensor using I2C, and then send the temperature and humidity data in two ways – via BLE advertisement packets, as well as via GATT characteristics – once a connection is made by a BLE central device like a mobile phone.
Oh, I didn't come up with all the above stuff by myself. Zephyr has fine BLE examples that I pilfered from. The above enables BLE and sets up various parameters – for example, CONFIG_BT_PERIPHERAL=y says that our device is a peripheral, not a central, and CONFIG_BT_DEVICE_NAME="hackaBLE" sets the name we advertise by.
Above, we first configure I2C, and there are some special settings for NRF which you can see above. Once I2C is enabled, we then enable the sensor subsystem on Zephyr, and more specifically, the BME280 sensor.
I won't go through the whole code here, but here are the highlights.
In the code above, you can see read/write functions assigned to each characteristic, as well as permissions, and the Client Characteristic Configuration Descriptor (CCCD) which lets the client (the central) enable notifications.
Here's how we set up the BLE advertisement packet.
Above, we'll use the third and fourth bytes in mfg_data to send the most significant digits of temperature and humidity respectively.
So in our code, we retrieve the temperature and humidity, and store them both for advertisement packets and for the characteristics.
What we're doing above is notifying the connected device with the new sensor values as well as updating the advertising data.
In the above screenshot, you can see that the last two bytes of the advertisement packet manufacturer data is 0x1b21 – 27 degree C with a humidity of 33%.
Now, let's connect to it.
Hence, T = 27.900000 deg C, H = 34.182617 %. If you enable notifications, you will see that these values update on the phone every two seconds, as per our code.
So here we are – a BLE device based on Nordic nRF52832 that transmits weather data, powered by the Zephyr RTOS!
It's perfectly possible to program hackaBLE without Bumpy. If you want to use the Nordic nRF52832-DK (PCA10040) for that purpose, you need to use the same board.cmake as the PCA10040 in the board files. You'll also need to match the Rx/Tx lines of hackaBLE and the DK in the DTS file to get the serial output.
I learned a lot of programming on Linux. I always liked the "everything is a file" idea and standard programming concepts that worked across systems. Thinking in terms of processes, threads, inter-process communication mechanisms, sockets, etc. was natural, and these were concepts and programming conventions that were portable. But working with embedded systems today, vendor lock-in is a worrying trend, whether it be proprietary hardware programmers, expensive development tools, non portable APIs, or closed protocol stacks. There is a dire need for open, vendor-neutral frameworks like Zephyr, and the fact it follows the Linux model is a big plus in my view. We are definitely looking at Zephyr as the primary platform for our upcoming projects and products.
I thank Tavish Naruka for introducing me to Zephyr, as well as troubleshooting issues on various occasions.
Last week, you learned more about Zephyr RTOS powering drones. This week, we're shining the spotlight on smart gloves, specifically the next generation of IoT Industrial wearables from ProGlove!
Most industrial companies struggle with the same issue – how to streamline technology to confirm work orders or document process steps. Many companies employ mobile handheld scanners that are clunky and unwieldy and sometimes not dependable. They bring unnecessary weight, must be turned off, and are often lost or quickly broken. This delays work processes, leads to errors and affects the quality. The ProGlove's smart gloves addresses these problems and turns the handheld to smart, wearable barcode scanners that ensures greater efficiency, flexibility, ergonomics, quality and process reliability. Employees can easily trigger the scanning process, they no longer have to constantly search for the scanner, and above all they have their hands free at all times. By eliminating the need to pick up a regular barcode scanner, ProGlove is able to speed up processes by up to 50% and gives users feedback on the tasks performed. This reduces mistakes, improves quality, and provides tangible data for future decisions.
Part of the smart glove solution is Zephyr RTOS. Zephyr is scalable, optimized for resource constrained devices, and built with safety and security in mind. It's perfect for ProGlove – which just launched MARK 2, the second generation of the intelligent glove, based on the operating system.
Compared to its predecessor, it is characterized above all by the support of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), a larger scan range, a faster image processing and a significantly longer runtime. The Smart Wearables of the Munich-based Start Ups are designed for use in industrial environments and are used in particular in production and logistics, but also in retail.
Like its predecessor, MARK 2 is specially designed for use in production, logistics and retail. BLE makes connecting the Plug and Play device to the corporate network even easier. In combination with tablets, smartphones and other portable devices, employees can work hands-free and without a station. The 1D and 2D barcode engine is twice as fast and much more accurate than before.
If you're currently at the Global Industry Show at Eurexpo Lyon, stop by the ProGlove booth to see the new MARK 2! For more about how Zephyr RTOS powers innovative products, join the conversation on the Zephyr Slack Channel – https://zephyrproject.slack.com/.
The Drones Flying Indoors During the Superbowl Halftime Show Featured Zephyr OS!
A nice piece of trivia recently came across my desk. The 2019 Superbowl half time show included the Zephyr Project OS. Sure enough, the live, synchronized Drone Light Show included Zephyr v1.8 on the radio module of the Intel Shooting Star Mini Drone. What's a bit interesting and different about this drone show is that being in the enclosed Atlanta stadium, it cannot use GPS. So a special radio geo-location method is being employed by this radio module, which uses an ST Micro MCU. Superbowl LIII was the second indoor display for these mini drones running radio modules with Zephyr RTOS. Radio City's 2018 Christmas Spectacular also featured them during its holiday run.
If you want to learn more, stop by the Zephyr Booth (Hall 4: Booth 4-170) at Embedded World this week and keep up to date with photos on @ZephyrIoT! Or, join the conversation on the Zephyr Slack Channel – https://zephyrproject.slack.com/.

Black Dog Institute and Sydney Swans tackle mental health in schools
Gali Blacher April 24, 2019
Black Dog Institute and the AFL's Sydney Swans on Tuesday announced they would be partnering to deliver free mental health training to high schools across Australia, marking the start of a larger collaboration between the two organisations.
With a focus on improving the mental health literacy and resilience of Australian school students, the partnership will see a series of evidence-based Black Dog Institute Mental Fitness webinars delivered to high schools across the country, with the aim of helping kids improve their wellbeing and coping skills.
A series of Mental Fitness presentations will also be rolled out to eligible high schools across Sydney, with these schools given the opportunity to sign up for Black Dog Institute's BITE BACK Challenge to win exclusive Swans prizes, including home-game tickets and signed guernseys.
Sydney Swans fans at eligible Sydney schools will be delighted to see the presentations delivered by Black Dog presenters featuring some of the Swan's players, including Heath Grundy, Sam Naismith, Jordan Dawson and Robbie Fox.
Black Dog Institute's Director of Fundraising and Development, Karen Elliff, says the forming of this partnership marks an exciting time.
"We're really excited to be partnering with the Sydney Swans to expand delivery of our mental health training to Australian high school students, at a city, state and national level," Elliff said.
"Teaching kids how to build positive mental health skills is so important, and being able to do this with the help of an iconic sporting club like the Sydney Swans helps us reach, connect and resonate with our youth on a whole new level."
Sydney Swans Head of Customer and Community, Natalie Fagg, said the partnership will bring sport and the community together to teach meaningful life skills.
"For AFL footballers, building resilience and nurturing mental health is just as important as maintaining physical health," Fagg said.
"We believe it's really important to strike a balance for well-being and performance.
"Our players will have invaluable experiences they can share with students, and we're sure they will also learn a lot from the students along the way."

My cousin Tony and his wife Malissa came to visit Atlanta with their adorable kids Ava (3.5) and Ryan (1.5). They take the prize for longest drive from DC to Atlanta in one shot and then on to Dallas and back again.
The kids were barrels of fun, playing hide and seek, banging on the piano, running around the playground and visiting the aquarium. The whale sharks, Japanese spider crabs and garden eels were a big hit. My only question: How do kids have so much energy? One full day and I needed a nap. Zzzz.

Q: Tracking daily hard drive usage Is there a way I can track all hard drive usage (applications, OS processes, page files, and indexes)? I would want the statistics broken down per drive and into read and writes. I am running Windows 7 64 bit and I have multiple drives.

A: bit9 might be able to do this for you.  I know it calculates parity on all files that are accessed...

Depends on what you are actually trying to do...


Osmium Ice is considerd to be the hardest and coldest ice there is on earth with a melting point of 100 C meaning it takes a long time for this type of ice to even show a sign of melting in normal temperatures. This Ice have left scientists dumbfounded when it was discovered in may 6th 1995 in the depths of the north pole by Hernandez Cara a Glaciology. Not only does this ice have a high melting point, but it's also really dense (thus takes the name Osmium ice "osmium" being one of the densest materials on earth) meaning it's heavy and if a person touches this ice without protection then it starts to burn off your skin immediately. When scientists recovered this ice they had to use all types of machines to cut through this including a fiber and CO2 laser. Most of this ice was recovered from the depth of the glaciers in the north pole, but they speculate that more Osmium ice is hidden underneath the arctic ocean.
The temperature of this material is around -500 celsius making it extremely cold and the coldest ice there is. If you were to drop this ice in a room temperature bowl of water it will start to freeze the water around it and this exact behavior makes it really hard for scientists to obtain pure Osmium Ice since it's constantly freezing the surroundings and therefore sticks to things. Scientists have yet to figure out a use for this type of ice since it's really hard to maintain and handle, but regardless of that this ice goes for $15,000 per kilogram making it the most expensive ice out there.

Quotes, reaction from Blagojevich sentencing
$PHOTOCREDIT_ON$associated press$PHOTOCREDIT_OFF$
A federal judge on Wednesday sentenced former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich to 14 years in prison on corruption charges. Here are notable quotes and reaction:
"I'm here convicted of crimes. The jury decided that I was guilty and I am accepting of it. I acknowledge it and, of course, am unbelievably sorry for it."
-- Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich to Judge James Zagel
"Whatever good things you did for people as governor, and you did some, I am more concerned with the occasions when you wanted to use your powers to do things that were only good for yourself."
-- Judge James Zagel before announcing Blagojevich's sentence
"His apology was a little circumspect; it was more how a politician would apologize or a lawyer. I think the judge did make the right decision."
-- James Matsumoto, jury foreman in Blagojevich's first trial
"He was corrupt when he took the oath of office. He was corrupt until the day he was arrested."
-- Prosecutor Reid Schar
"He has to be taught a lesson."
-- Louise Ogg, 84, a museum volunteer in Cairo, Ill., who met Blagojevich during his first gubernatorial campaign.
"He let me down, like he let down the people of Illinois. ...The sentence is very stiff indeed but necessary."
--Gov. Pat Quinn, who was lieutenant governor under Blagojevich
"It's a tragic situation. If someone told me that the very next governor after Ryan would be tried, convicted and sentenced for corruption acts, I would have said that they were crazy. The sentence is stiff, and ... says that corruption cases are being treated more like gun and drug cases."
--Patrick Collins, former U.S. attorney who prosecuted case that sent ex-Gov. George Ryan to prison.
"Blagojevich refused to govern responsibly and, instead, put Illinois up for sale. He tarnished the state's reputation nationally and internationally, and he destroyed the public's trust in government. May today's sentence put an end to corruption in the Illinois' governor's office."
-- Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan
"Judge Zagel's sentence is a clear warning to all elected officials that public corruption of any form will not be tolerated."
-- U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois
"Today's sentence ends the Rod Blagojevich saga, but unfortunately his enablers continue to burden the people of Illinois with financial mismanagement and higher taxes that have caused the downward spiral of the Illinois economy, and also widespread distrust of our public officials."
-- Illinois GOP chairman Pat Brady
"I take no joy in seeing any father taken from his children and family for an extended period of time. And yet there is no question in my mind that it is the right decision given the extraordinary damage Blagojevich caused our state, and the importance of sending a clear and unmistakable message that corruption will not be tolerated in our government."
-- Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka, who lost the 2006 gubernatorial election to Blagojevich.
"He put a price tag on state jobs, state actions and state contracts. He had to get paid before anything could happen. The damage he did was more severe than anything George Ryan did."
-- David Morrison, deputy director of the Illinois Campaign for Political Reform
