Adventure Log: Living on Borrowed Time Part 12
December 6, 2016 Seamus Conneely	1 Comment
Having successfully engaged more of the Empire's Inquisitors, managing to kill the Mandalorian Inquisitor Skirata and rescuing a young Force-sensitive Mirialan and her parents in the process, the Borrowed Time crew made a call to Alliance High Command once they were clear of The Wheel. Now that they had non-combatant passengers they wanted to check in. High Command congratulated them on their success, and agreed that the rescue changed things. Lacking an immediate solution, High Command ordered the Borrowed Time to head for the planet Dahvil, off the beaten path of the hyperlanes and home to a secret Rebel installation. The crew were going to get a chance to rest while they waited for further instructions.
Before heading to Dahvil and 'Bolthole Station', Bas put on a space suit and went outside to examine the Borrowed Time. Sure enough, at some point during their stay on The Wheel someone had placed a tracking device on the freighter. After he shorted it and out and tossed it into the void Verjylla proposed making a few extra jumps to try and throw off any more attempts to track the Rebels. Unfortunately, despite having several decent astrogators among the crew, they ended up being too unfamiliar with the local sector. They didn't get lost, however, and made their way to Bolthole Station in good time.
Bolthole Station had the look of an abandoned smuggler base, stashed on the other side of the planet from most of Dahvil's settlements and built into the cliffside along a narrow strip of beach. It consisted of a large hangar bay that was home to the CR-90 corvette named the Last Ditch as well as a small collection of starfighters, along with a small base that had been expanded by the Alliance after they found the place. While it's primary purpose was to act as a hideaway for Alliance SpecOps teams like the Borrowed Time to lay low at it also had a large enough training facility to bring a platoon of Alliance Infantry up to snuff at a time.
Commander Baask, the Bothan in charge of the Station, welcomed the Borrowed Time and Gift Horse when they arrived, giving them a brief tour of the facility and explaining a few security protocols. He also explained that, as the Borrowed Time's security codes for High Command were about to expire, that their instructions and new codes would be sent to them via Bolthole Station. In essence, until they heard from High Command, they were at liberty to spend their time however they pleased around the Station. Once they confirmed that there was no large complement of droids that might end up being murderbots like the last time they'd been told to rest, the crew settled in.
Verjylla decided that this was the perfect opportunity for a more light-hearted episode of the Rebel Yell, and quickly decided that she'd make a calendar with pictures of the nicest looking Rebels she could find in the station. This quickly turned into something of an enjoyable debacle. Bee'f, who had apparently become smitten with Verjylla at some point, kept following her around and making suggestions. Caleb was hounded to pose in little but a pair of shorts and his helmet. Various young members of the Infantry trainees and the more arrogant starfighter pilots bickered over who would get to be in the calendar, which ended with Verjylla organizing a volleyball tournament between all the men on the beach by their second day at the Station. Commander Baask just looked the other way; even the trainees deserved a break now and again.
Patience, being a Politico/Commodore, had long had his eye on climbing the ranks and commanding something larger than a freighter, and had put in a request for training in that regard after the Shadow Raptor. Sure enough Commander Torval of the Last Ditchapproached Patience shortly after the crew had settled in, and told him that Ackbar had forwarded his request. The Last Ditch operated with a skeleton crew, usually just ferrying trainess to and from the Station, and thus lacked a formal second-in-command. While they couldn't take the ship out, Commander Torval ran a number of simulations with Patience in the second-in-command's chair, and tapped Commander Baask to help instruct Patience on maintaining a leader's poise.
Caleb, finally having access to an armory that was larger than the one on the Borrowed Time and not full of Intelligence agents like the Shadow Raptor's, settled in to do some serious tinkering. First was resizing Skirata's armor for himself, the first defensive improvement the Mando had managed since getting his current suit from The Drall during the Corellian days. Other than that, he talked shop with the Station's armorer, a Besalisk who called himself Pendragon. Together they helped maintain the infantry's gear during quiet time, or worked on Caleb's latest deadly projects to be distributed to the Borrowed Time crew.
Shikte spent her downtime in the Station's firing range, intimidating the infantry trainees with her skills and testing out Caleb's latest modifications to her weapons. It didn't take long for the human Tusken Raider to notice that she had a shadow, however: Mariana had taken to following the sharpshooter around the base. Somewhat gruffly Shikte caught and confronted the young Mirialan, who told her that Shikte seemed the most approachable of the 'not-quiet' people (Verjylla was too bombastic, Bee'f too half-crazed, and Cole too . . . Cole). While Shikte never stopped being gruff with Mariana she gave her a few pragmatic lessons on Being a Force Sensitive in the Empire 101 (passed down from 'a crazy hermit in the desert' Shikte had known) and actually brought the young girl to the firing range a few times to teach her how to shoot. Mariana's parents had been shadowing her in turn, but seemed to approve of Shikte's efforts.
Bas spent the majority of his time in the hangar bay, working on the Borrowed Time and indulging in a pet project: pulling some of the concussion missile launchers off of the Gift Horse and installing them in the YT-2400. Whenever he took a break from that he found himself drawn to the eclectic collection of starfighters that made up 'Bolt Squadron': a pair of Cloakshapes, a pair of Heavy-95s, a Preybird, an old ARC-170, and even an Eta-2 Actis-class piloted by an R2 unit. At one point Bas spotted the R2 and a Chadra-Fan '95 pilot bickering about the relative strengths of their fighters, and wandered over to indulge his curiosity.
The Chadra-Fan was quickly chased off by the droid, but thankfully Bas was able to understand binary and quickly learned that the foul-mouthed little R2-KB was very possessive of his ship. They had a conversation about upkeep and specs, during which Bas garnered that 1) KB was a Clone Wars veteran who'd lost his 'partner' before signing up with the Alliance, and 2) that nobody but KB was allowed to perform maintenance on 'his' fighter. Bas nodded, apparently understanding, before reaching out to poke the fighter with a hydrospanner the second KB turned away. This immediately led to Bas slithering away at top speed as KB pursued him with all the shock arms deployed, a scene that would repeat with something resembling friendly antagonism several times over the next few days.
Cole, when not bothering Verjylla about his spot in the calendar, spent the majority of his time trying to find a good drink and playing cards with the Bolt pilots. He was warned that KB in particular was a cardsharp, and in the end it was probably for the best that Cole doesn't know binary; the droid had a bad habit of scathing insults whenever he won, lost, or felt like it. Nak, for her part, kept herself to herself on the Borrowed Time, likely contemplating Mariana's plight and recovering from the wounds she'd taken on The Wheel.
The Wookiee found herself hanging out in the Station's mess with the Chadra-Fan '95 pilot, named Taabe, who was the first of her species that she'd met since joining the Alliance. Taabe actually seemed fascinated that The Wookiee was a commando, as most Chadra-Fan in the Alliance he'd met were either fellow pilots or mechanics (he apparently decided against questioning the name). The pair traded stories, with The Wookiee telling of how she'd once been an artist, and had been found by an Alliance team after she'd finished 'redecorating' the office of a Moff with the Moff after he'd enslaved her and pushed her one too many times. Taabe's stories of Bolt Squadron's missions and raids almost paled in comparison.
About half a week after their arrival at Bolthole Station found Patience with Commanders Baask and Torval in the Station's command center. The two officers were going over communication protocols with Patience when a technician announced that the Station's passive sensors had detected a bulk freighter passing overhead. According to the Commanders this was not entirely unusual for this stage of Dahvil's orbit, as freighters had to pass over this half of the planet on the way to the settlements, but Patience had A Bad Feeling About This and suggested the Station go on alert. Baask agreed, wagering that even if it was a false alarm it would make a good exercise for the trainees.
Down in the hangar and aboard the Borrowed Time Nak was resting in her bunk, Bas was tinkering on the engines and Verjylla was trying to edit her calendar, with Bee'f looking over her shoulder trying to be helpful. Just as alarms started to blare and two squads of infantry rushed into the hangar, Shikte following them, all eyes were drawn to the hangar doors as they shook with a massive boom. Just as some of the soldiers began to yell for everyone to take cover, another boom hit and the hangar doors blew in. As everyone scrambled to recover and prepare, the sound of a Sentinel-class landing craft dropping off stormtroopers on the beach could be heard over the crackling of flames . . .
Give your players a break now and again, why don't you? It can't always be blaster fire or space escapades (or dragon fights or dungeon delving, whatever your game may have). Sooner or later the crew has to return to the ship, the team has to return to base, the party has to return to their favorite shadowy corner in their favorite tavern. Something I picked up on a good while back is that you learn what player characters are capable of in the field, and a little of how they act, but you can get to really know a character when you see what they do when the pressure's off. Speaking of pressure, if it's on all the time, it'll start to wear thin. Another Star Destroyer dropping out of hyperspace right on top of us? Sure, if it only happened now and again it's dangerous and exciting, but when you're dodging three of the things a week it starts to become ho-hum. So giving the party a break now and again can also help improve your more intense sessions by making them stand out more.
Now, this is a bit of 'advice' that will probably come naturally enough. In most games there are going to be natural lulls in the action after the latest location has been cleared out or the latest enemy defeated, and players will often want to spend their spoils or enjoy some light-hearted downtime without too much prodding. The first part of your job as the GM is to have things available for them to do with that downtime. Sprinkle some interesting NPCs and places throughout the area your players will be hanging out at, and be ready to improvise a bit when the player characters wander.
The second part of your job as a GM, when giving your player characters some downtime, is to not punish them for it. By this I mean: everyone knows you'll get back to the action sooner or later anyways, so don't have the bad guys ambushing them every time they try and get a drink. I've, well, not always been the best about this myself. Back in the Edge of the Empire days Caleb quickly gained the moniker of Unluckiest Mandalorian because any time he ever tried to do anything he'd run into trouble (and drag Nak along with him, that's actually how they became friends). Now, there were mitigating circumstances. The bad guys did have to roll to find them, and maybe they shouldn't have been trying to buy illegal grenades in Coronet City's Blue Sector, and sure one of the themes back then was of being hunted all the time so it fit, but that doesn't change the fact that Caleb (and by extension the rest of the crew) couldn't seem to walk down to the store for a glass of blue milk without getting shot in the face.
Heck, back when I pointed out that they could get things from the Shadow Raptor's quartermaster, all of the old hands got a little jumpy. A visit to the quartermaster sounded an awful lot like a shopping trip, and they all knew how those always ended.
Eventually the party will decide to look for more work, or the Big Bad's goons will kick in the door (or bombard the hangar bay). I'm just saying that you should let the downtime play out naturally. Don't force the characters back into the action the same day they finally get home. Ask 'does anyone have anything else they want to do before we move on?' before moving on. Savor the break, and then get back into the thick of things refreshed.
Until next time, go play some games and have a good time! I'll see you all then as our crew puts their backs to the wall with the forces of Bolthole Station as the Empire launches their assault, on the next installment of Star Wars Age of Rebellion: Living on Borrowed Time!

Aug. 12, 2016 This comes amid significant reshuffling in Moscow.
Russian President Vladimir Putin today removed his long-time chief of staff, Sergei Ivanov, from his post. The demotion of one of Putin's closest allies – who had been at the president's side since their days in the Soviet-era KGB and became one of Russia's most powerful men – comes after a string of government reshuffles. Ivanov is the highest-ranking Putin ally impacted by the changes, and his departure also comes at a time when there are reports that another Putin ally, Rosneft chief Igor Sechin, may be falling into disfavor as well.

4.32 1238 5 Autor: Richard Dawkins Narrador: Richard Dawkins, Lalla Ward
The God Delusion caused a sensation when it was published in 2006. Within weeks it became the most hotly debated topic, with Dawkins himself branded as either saint or sinner for presenting his hard-hitting, impassioned rebuttal of religion of all types. His argument could hardly be more topical. While Europe is becoming increasingly secularized, the rise of religious fundamentalism, whether in the Middle East or Middle America, is dramatically and dangerously dividing opinion around the world. In America, and elsewhere, a vigorous dispute between 'intelligent design' and Darwinism is seriously undermining and restricting the teaching of science. In many countries religious dogma from medieval times still serves to abuse basic human rights such as women's and gay rights. And all from a belief in a God whose existence lacks evidence of any kind. Dawkins attacks God in all his forms. He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and demonstrates the supreme improbability of a supreme being. He shows how religion fuels war, foments bigotry and abuses children. The God Delusion is a brilliantly argued, fascinating polemic that is required listening for anyone interested in this most emotional and important subject. Available now as an unabridged audiobook, narrated by Richard Dawkins himself.

2020: all news
The WHO was never intended to be an implementer of global health actions.
It's time to outsource key functions of The World Health Organisation to agencies better placed and qualified to execute the WHO's remit, say experts in today's British Medical Journal - Global Health.
For decades, failures by the WHO to respond to global health crises have drawn criticism and calls for reform by policy experts, governments and independent financial donors from across the world that contribute three-quarters of its US$4 billion annual budget.
Serious recent failures that have drawn fire include shortcomings in its response to the Ebola pandemic, health crises in Sri Lanka in 2009, Haiti in 2010, South Sudan in 2013 and its current response to drug-resistant Tuberculosis in Papua New Guinea.
An outsourcing approach would allow WHO to maintain global leadership and oversight but would utilise external expertise more appropriately.
Associate Professor Joel Negin
"An outsourcing approach would allow WHO to maintain global leadership and oversight but would utilise external expertise more appropriately," say authors Associate Professor Joel Negin at the University of Sydney and Dr Ranu Dhillon from Harvard University.
"This would allow the WHO to be leaner and more focused, and would increase the contribution of other actors. We believe such reform is essential to the future of the WHO and of global health action."
Most current proposals to reform the WHO focus on ways it could be made more effective and attract more funding. But Negin and Dhillon say more financial muscle and incremental reforms will no longer meet the challenges of preventing, predicting and responding to today's globalising health crises.
"When the WHO was established, there were few global health actors," says Professor Negin, who heads the university's School of Public Health.
"Its unique positon meant it could bring the world's best minds and skills to bear on global health issues. Today, global health issues occur in a complex, multi-actor arena where rival multilateral organisations have taken control over much of the global health action and agenda.
We need solutions that focuses not only on what the WHO should do to strengthen itself but ones that leverages the expertise that exists in the sector.
"Given the emergence of new global stakeholders and the realisation that the WHO is struggling to meet its mandate, we need solutions that focuses not only on what the WHO should do to strengthen itself but one that leverages the expertise that exists in the sector."
Negin's co-author, Ranu Dhillon says the WHO should "outsource a number of its functions to other global agencies that are already leading the way. This would allow it to focus on a small number of core activities where it has comparative advantage and to coordinate or orchestrate the broader array of global health actors to take on other activities."
Negin and Dhillon say current WHO-functions that should be outsourced include technical matters such as research and surveillance, and on-the-ground responses to health issues and crises.
They point to agencies such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, The World Bank and The Global Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria as better placed and qualified to execute many WHO tasks.
"The WHO was never intended to be an implementer of global health activities," says Negin.
In fact, its Constitution emphasises that its principal functions are co-ordination, collaboration with specialised agencies, providing assistance, and promoting co-operation – all of which resonate with the idea of WHO providing leadership but outsourcing key activities.
The WHO was never intended to be an implementer of global health activities.
"Re-positioning it as a regulator, orchestrator and clearing house of expertise would dovetail with its global reach and mandate but acknowledges its limitations."
Indeed, the WHO itself states on its website that subcontracting is a good model in complex environments: "In addition, as new independent or autonomous actors come on stage, it becomes less easy to rely on hierarchical authority.
"This compels health actors to reconsider their relations. It is increasingly common for such relations to be based on contractual arrangements, which formalize agreements between actors, who accept mutually-binding commitments."
Though evidence is limited, the authors say outsourcing has been shown to be a successful model in health systems that are in transition, especially in post-conflict or fragile states.

Nissan told Renault's (RENA.PA) board on Monday it had evidence of potential wrongdoing at Renault-Nissan BV, the Dutch venture overseeing alliance operations under Renault's ultimate control, three people with knowledge of the matter said.
French officials have mobilised to defend the alliance since Ghosn's surprise arrest in Japan - which came as both countries stage events to mark 160 years of diplomatic relations.

ENDORSEMENT: Nancy Rotering for 10th Congressional District of Illinois
While I live in a different Illinois congressional district, I'm proud to endorse Nancy Rotering in the U.S. House race in the 10th Congressional District of Illinois, which includes much of Lake County and parts of northern Cook County.
Prior to entering electoral politics, Rotering earned college degrees from three of the most well-respected universities in the country, two of which are located in Illinois, and worked as a finance executive for General Motors. As Mayor of Highland Park, Illinois, Rotering helped establish a legal aid clinic to, among other things, help apartment renters take on bad landlords who wronged them. Rotering has long been committed to empowering voters and protecting the environment, as she is an active member of the League of Women Voters and the Sierra Club. Rotering is also a strong supporter of common-sense gun safety measures.
Rotering's Democratic primary challenger, Brad Schneider, is a D.C. insider who has the backing of his fellow political insiders, including failed Democratic leaders like Nancy Pelosi and Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Schneider is part of the same failed Democratic establishment that wants to implement a corporate, pro-Wall Street agenda in this country. Schneider has used dirty tricks to win Democratic primaries before, and that's because he and his insider buddies don't care about the people of the 10th District of Illinois.
I strongly encourage voters in the 10th Congressional District of Illinois to vote in the Democratic primary for Nancy Rotering. You can view Rotering's website here, and her campaign also maintains Facebook and Twitter pages.

Sorry, Aaron. Democrats in the 10th District know that Brad Schneider isn't a D.C. insider. Dold is an exceptionally strong campaigner, and Schneider has what it takes to win. Rotering's campaign has been amateur… at best.

Brad Schneider is not a D.C. insider? Of course he's a D.C. insider, and that's because he worked in D.C. for two years! Even worse, he frequently sided with Wall Street and other corporate interests when he was a Member of Congress.

I'm a Highland Park progressive and Nancy Rotering does not match my values. Don't get wrapped up in rhetoric. She's to the right of Schneider and I'd much rather have him in Washington than Dold or Rotering.

Andhra Pradesh and data-based governance
Rahul Bajoria
As cyclone Hudhud raged on 12 October 2014, a different storm was brewing within the leadership of the newly formed state. Andhra Pradesh was still recovering from an unsavoury separation with Telangana, along with a large revenue deficit. Despite such challenges, the vision set out by the chief minister and his team was ambitious. Around the same time as the cyclone, Nara Chandrababu Naidu announced his vision for Andhra Pradesh to become one of the three best states in India by 2022 and the best state in terms of inclusive development by 2029. In November 2014, Naidu visited Singapore, where the idea of an investment promotion and monitoring body like the Economic Development Board (EDB) of Singapore was conceived. In addition, to better monitor the recovery process following Hudhud, the chief minister asked his state planning department to put together a real-time dashboard, which would evolve into the Core Dashboard, a one-stop portal for real-time tracking of almost everything that the government does in Andhra Pradesh.
Two years on, the state has emerged from these significant challenges and is now considered one of the easiest places to do business in India, according to surveys by the World Bank and the department of industrial policy and promotion. At the heart of its governance model is a problem-solving approach led by data, rather than instinct. Since 2014, the state government has invested considerable time and funds in collecting data. These data initiatives are modelled on the key performance indicator (KPI) methods employed by Malaysia's performance management and delivery unit (Pemandu), an agency managing the Malaysian government's economic transformation program. For Andhra Pradesh, the combination of an EDB for setting large macro targets and Pemandu's KPI approach to resolve micro problems appears to have hit the right spot.
Like the NITI Aayog, the EDB in Andhra Pradesh is still finding its feet. From its beginnings with a small group of interns collating data across various districts and state departments, the EDB has since taken over the state's investment promotion and external engagement activities. These include liaising with the Central government, investors, multilateral agencies and India's overseas embassies.
The Core Dashboard, perhaps the most comprehensive e-governance initiative seen in India, is spearheaded by the chief minister's office directly. For a country where data quality can be unreliable, Andhra Pradesh's push to collect information and share it in a transparent, real time manner is refreshing. From the Core Dashboard, the chief minister can access KPIs from more than 33 departments and other parameters, including the number of streetlights switched on, power generated daily, water levels, rainfall, tax revenue, forest plantation rates, and government revenue. The state has also leveraged Aadhaar to track payments for its welfare schemes in order to reduce and eventually eliminate leakages.
The dashboard is already starting to make a material difference to Andhra's economy. For instance, the government has been able to reduce the impact of this year's drought in several districts. Timely monitoring through the Core Dashboard allowed "rain guns" to be deployed in a targeted manner, which helped to reduce the risk of crops wilting away.
Similarly, urban governance is being redefined by the use of data. In order to provide broadband connectivity, the state is using its power infrastructure of transformers and pillars to hang broadband cables, rather than burying them in the ground. While aesthetically less pleasing, the state has found a highly effective and low-cost way of spreading broadband access, with a minimum speed of 15 mbps. At the same time, the Core Dashboard can measure the number of streetlights that are switched on in realtime in the state's two key cities of Visakhapatnam and Vijayawada. Similarly, the state government has monitored LED bulb distribution since the "Ujala" LED distribution programme was launched by the Central government, saving almost 500 megawatts of peak power demand through approximately 19 million LED bulbs, almost around 7% of Andhra Pradesh's peak power demand.
Within the social sector, welfare schemes are closely tracked on the dashboard. While the Central government has been pushing the adoption of the Aadhaar card for Central schemes, the state of Andhra Pradesh is using Aadhaar for its own schemes. The bulk of beneficiaries of the state's flagship pension scheme, called NTR Bharosa, are tracked on the dashboard. Similarly, with 97% Aadhaar penetration, district-level MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) payments are being made to bank accounts directly, while being monitored online to prevent leakages and theft.
These micro interventions and transparency initiatives employed by the Andhra Pradesh government are unique for India. But the state is not just solving ground-level problems, it is also setting high-level macro targets which allow for greater recognition of progress to the public at large. Naidu has also been holding a monthly collectors' conference to promote accountability for bureaucrats and to break down silos and share best practices among state government officials.

Penalties prove costly for young rider
By Stephen Blaxhall
August 24, 2010 — 6.48am
Australian rider Tom McDermott and horse Hugo had to settle for eighth in a drama filled individual equestrian event at the Youth Olympics in Singapore on Tuesday.
Tied for first, with seven other riders coming into Tuesday's showjumping leg, an unfortunate penalty on the second to last fence in Tuesday morning's first round meant a jump-off for bronze for the pairing.
"Tom rode a fantastic round but at the second last fence the horse just looked into the corner, saw something, and spooked, jumping away from the fence," trainer Alison Rowland said.
Completing the final course in 52.18 seconds, the 16-year-old and Hugo picked up four more penalty points to end the event in eighth.
But despite the disappointing finish, both rider and trainer were happy with the experience.
"Tom is an exceptional rider, has a lot of feel, a lot of talent and a great support system behind him in his family, so he'll go a long way," Rowland said.
Gold, after a two way jump off, went to Marcelo Chirico of Uruguay and silver to Colombian Mario Gamboa.
Bronze was awarded to 18-year-old Dalma Rushdi H Malhas, the first Saudi Arabian girl to represent her country in an equestrian event.
Australia's competitors at the K-1 kayaking time-trials both had excellent results in their early morning events, with Sydney's Jessica Fox, Australia's torch bearer before the games, placing first in 1:34.23, while men's paddler, Scott Smith, ended a very creditable fifth, in a time of 1:31.80.
Shooter Janek Janski bowed out of the men's 10m air pistol qualifiers in 17th place, following a score of 554 points.
Only six points separated first and third place with Denys Kushinnov of the Ukraine leading the pack with 578 points.
Australia's handballers rounded out their tournament with a 39-12 loss to Angola in the second leg of their fifth place playoff, resulting in a 2-0 loss over two matches, and sixth spot.

Q: How do I add a missing peripheral register to a STM32 MCU model in Renode? I am trying out this MCU / SoC emulator, Renode.
I loaded their existing model template under platforms/cpus/stm32l072.repl, which just includes the repl file for stm32l071 and adds one little thing.
When I then load & run a program binary built with STM32CubeIDE and ST's LL library, and the code hits the initial function of SystemClock_Config(), where the Flash:ACR register is being probed in a loop, to observe an expected change in value, it gets stuck there, as the Renode Monitor window is outputting:

[WARNING] sysbus: Read from an unimplemented register Flash:ACR (0x40022000), returning a value from SVD: 0x0

This seems to be expected, not all existing templates model nearly everything out of the box. I also found that the stm32L071 model is missing some of the USARTs and NVIC channels. I saw how, probably, the latter might be added, but there seems to be not a single among the default models defining that Flash:ACR register that I could use as example.
How would one add such a missing register for this particular MCU model?
Note1: For this test, I'm using a STM32 firmware binary which works as intended on actual hardware, e.g. a devboard for this MCU.
Note2:
The stated advantage of Renode over QEMU, which does apparently not emulate peripherals, is also allowing to stick together a more complex system, out of mocked external e.g. I2C and other devices (apparently C# modules, not yet looked into it).
They say "use the same binary as on the real system".
Which is my reason for trying this out - sounds like a lot of potential for implementing systems where the hardware is not yet fully available, and also automatted testing.
So the obvious thing, commenting out a lot of parts in init code, to only test some hardware-independent code while sidestepping such issues, would defeat the purpose here.

A: If you want to just provide the ACR register for the flash to pass your init, use a tag.
You can either provide it via REPL (recommended, like here https://github.com/renode/renode/blob/master/platforms/cpus/stm32l071.repl#L175) or via RESC.
Assuming that your software would like to read value 0xDEADBEEF. In the repl you'd use:
sysbus:
    init:
        Tag <0x40022000, 0x40022003> "ACR" 0xDEADBEEF

In the resc or in the Monitor it would be just:
sysbus Tag <0x40022000, 0x40022003> "ACR" 0xDEADBEEF

If you want more complex logic, you can use a Python peripheral, as described in the docs (https://renode.readthedocs.io/en/latest/basic/using-python.html#python-peripherals-in-a-platform-description):
flash: Python.PythonPeripheral @ sysbus 0x40022000
    size: 0x1000
    initable: false
    filename: "script_with_complex_python_logic.py"
```

If you really need advanced implementation, then you need to create a complete C# model.

As you correctly mentioned, we do not want you to modify your binary. But we're ok with mocking some parts we're not interested in for a particular use case if the software passes with these mocks.

Disclaimer: I'm one of the Renode developers.

Rapid ohia death discovered on Maui
By West Hawaii Today Staff | Tuesday, July 2, 2019, 12:05 a.m.
KAHULUI — Ceratocystis huliohia, the less aggressive strain of the fungal disease called rapid ohia death, was recently detected in a single tree on private property in East Maui.
The lone ohia tree, 15-20 feet tall and 8 to 10 inches in diameter, is located a few feet from a taro loi.
"This one tree is located away from other ohia trees, so this appears to be an isolated case," said Lance DeSilva, DLNR Division of Forestry and Wildlife Maui forest management supervisor in a press release issued Tuesday. "It will be treated immediately by torching or burning it."
This is the first positive detection of the disease on Maui. Rapid ohia death has impacted vast acreage and thousands of trees on Hawaii Island. Both strains; the most aggressive, ceratocystis lukuohia and the less aggressive, ceratocystis huliohia have been detected there and on Kauai. On Maui, only ceratocystis huliohia has been detected.
Quarterly aerial surveys are conducted on Maui to spot trees that may be suspected of having the disease. Typically, samples are then taken from the ground and sent to a lab in Hilo for further testing to determine positive presence. The next quarterly survey is scheduled to begin July 15.
DOFAW personnel on Maui are planning to reach out to residents of the Kipahulu and Hana areas to increase awareness in those communities for people to be on the lookout for other potential "backyard" ohia trees that should be monitored.

Vitamin B8, also called inositol, is one of the vitamins that belong to the large B group. It is not as well-known as other vitamins but, just like them, it has a unique and crucial role to play when it comes to maintaining health and optimal shape, particularly of the nervous system.
Inositol is the guardian angel of our thought processes and it determines good mood. It improves your mental shape, stabilises your mood and increases stress resistance. Therefore, inositol frees you from states of anxiety and makes depression and ungrounded panic attacks less probable. It helps with falling asleep and is one of the best relaxing agents with no side effects. Moreover, it contributes to the improvement of mental capacity and thought processes.
Vitamin B8 is successfully applied in diabetes prevention. It stimulates the activity of insulin, eliminates diabetic complications and, according to some scientists, it can even heal the damage of peripheral nerves caused by diabetes. It is more and more often talked about in the context of cancer prevention (lung cancer in particular). Together with choline, inositol participates in cholesterol transformations, contributing to the improvement of your lipid profile. It is also responsible for the transport of fat in your body, preventing the formation of its deposits in the liver and other organs.
Vitamin B8 deficiencies can be caused by problems with the functioning of the digestive system. The vitamin is very sensitive to caffeine, so people who drink a lot of coffee should also ensure that the right amount of inositol is supplemented. Unfortunately, water also washes vitamin B8 out of the organism, so those who drink more than 2.5l of water per day might also be prone to the deficiencies of this invaluable vitamin.
When you decide to supplement it, you do not have to worry about overdosing vitamin B8; it is water-soluble and its excess is excreted with urine and sweat. Even in the case of large doses that came from supplements, no toxicity of the compound has been noted.

Team Decision Makers Demo Day
January 23, 2019 will.ahrens
As we go into the final days of our Centre term class, we are wrapping up our portfolio and have completed a final version of our game Nazi Germany: The Survival of Günter Schmidt. We met after class today for about an hour to put the final touches on our presentation tomorrow and for our portfolio. We plan on meeting again tonight to practice our presentation as a group as well as discuss how we will showcase our game in the presentation.
Today in class, we had a Demo Day where each group's games were on display for the other groups to play. I enjoyed seeing the work other groups put into their game and how it translated into a functional play-through game. It was also cool to watch people play the game that my group made and observe the pathways through the game that each player took. The original time settings of each of the games made were all relatively close ranging from right before World War II to a few decades after. While we played their games, we also were able to discuss what they were intending to create for a certain portion of the game and how it translated digitally. The RPG maker game was the only one in the class that did not use Twine so was interested in playing the game with a different software than my group. To my surprise, the game was still a very dialogue heavy and text based game. I discussed why with one of the team members and we agreed that for all of the games, we did not have the capability to create videos as a backstory, instead we had to set a basis for the game in text. Despite using different softwares that changed the gameplay experience dramatically, we still faced some similar challenges.
Today was our second to last day of class. This Centre term inside the classroom and out has been very enjoyable. My group along with the class has established a new understanding for the appreciation for the video games that we play on a weekly basis. We have also met a new group of people that enjoy similar hobbies and have established friendships around that commonality. The group work experience that we gained during this multiple week long task has benefitted us all with working as a team. The multiple presentations also allowed us to gain some comfort with public speaking. I along with my team members have enjoyed this class and look forward to the finale of our video game tournament tomorrow!

The Decision Makers Update
On our day of no class, our team met up to work on putting information into Twine and to continue to develop our multiple storylines. Most of our storylines will be counterfactuals to what actually happened in Nazi Germany. We have been searching for picture to be able to put into our game to give it a more visual and sensual aspect giving the player are better and more realistic experience.
Our main focus for today was to try and wrap up the storylines and solidify what we wanted the player to go through. Based on the players first decision, he/she will then determine whether they will be faced with the decisions that go into the Valkyrie mission or to stay a regular Nazi solider. The most fun route will be to participate with the mission and this option gives us an opportunity to present what actually happened or interesting counterfactuals to what happened. If the player makes a harsh decision or makes a wrong move such as confronting someone about joining the mission and a Nazi loyal person hears or the person decides to rat on the mission would cause Günter to die or be taken prisoner by the Nazis. In like many of the games we have played ourselves, there are moments that make us laugh or that provide some comic relief to the game. We have added this to some of the endings that are sudden and a little over the top. If the payer chooses the wrong decision and dies randomly, we do not want the player to get upset. We want them to have a fun experience regardless of whether they succeed in the game or die abruptly.
Another aspect of the storyline that we wanted to emphasize is the thought that the player takes in contrasting what happened in the 1940s and what the game is simulating. Everyone in our group finds these ideas interesting and fun to think about and we want to give the player of the game the same experience that we received when brainstorming different endings to the game. When thinking of what could happen to Günter, we got to put ourselves in our character's shoes and think of what would happen to ourselves if we did certain actions; what would be the effects of our decisions was very thought provoking. The answers we came up with differed and we are working on trying to incorporate the different ideas into the game to add to the complexity of the game because Twine does not allow us to make a very complex and interactive game such as the ones we play on the Playstation or Xbox. We have also realized which areas of the game we need to know more about so we can retrieve more information on those areas, like the details of Operation Valkyrie.
Development of Gunter Schmidt's Story
January 10, 2019 January 15, 2019 will.ahrens
After watching the beginning of the multiple game today, we had many examples of which was to and not to present our background information to the player of our game. We thought that the beginning of The Walking Dead game was an interesting, suspenseful, and interactive way to give background on the main character and the situation that he is in. We also liked the Indiana Jones beginning. The game had a funny and clever way of beginning the game while setting up the plot for the game: catching the Nazi spy that was confronted at the end of the opening scene. It had me interested in playing more of the game, especially since I like the Indiana Jones series. We took these two introductions into consideration when forming our introduction. We agreed to open the game with Gunter at his father's funeral. Attending the funeral are many fellow Nazi generals that worked with Gunter's father over the past years. One specific man that is present at the funeral is General Erwin Rommel, who is famously know as being a part of Operation Valkyrie. Rommel comes to speak to Gunter initially to offer his condolences but then brings up the topic of a secret mission Rommel and his father were plotting. He does not go into detail of the mission that he mentions which allows for us to keep the mission a secret but also plant a bug in the player's mind about a possibility in the future.
Rommel also addresses Gunter about replacing his father in the Nazi ranks. The first decision by the player is whether to accept the proposition or deny it. If Gunter accepts the position, then he will go directly into command of a section of the Nazi forces. When Gunter arrives at Nazi Headquarters for the first time, Rommel is there to greet him and invites him into Rommel's office. Rommel then explains the mission Gunter's father and Rommel were working on. The mission is the Operation Valkyrie. Gunter is then faced with the most important decision of the game:whether or not to help with the operation and kill Hitler or momentarily deny the proposition and ask for more time to answer the enormous question. If Gunter denies the promotion, then he will go into the army as a regular soldier that will be send around the world to fight for Nazi Germany. Gunter will then be sent to Africa and will be under Rommel's command. He will have a coincidental run in with Rommel and the two will have a similar conversation as the other route. This route does offer a firm yes or a firm no as possible answers instead of a request for more time.
After coming up with the beginning our story, we began to start more specific research on the different routes that the characters could take. One specific aspect we are beginning to look more deeply into in the Operation Valkyrie. We have checked out multiple books from the library that offer different sides of the mission and are planning to watch the movie tomorrow night to provide some visual inspiration. We are also looking into the conflicts that Rommel was a part of in Africa and how we could accurately portray a common soldier's life in Africa, making him want a way out which would be presented by Rommel.
The work that we did in class today set us up well for the next couple days in developing our different storylines. We are in a good position and are looking forward to finishing out our rough storylines by the end of the week!

I have just bought this lovely perfume bottle signed Clyne Farquharson on the edge of the base. It has a silver and enamel collar, but this is quite badly damaged.
the puffer bit has the patt. no 204063 on it and is in brass, and looks 1930 ish, but the hall mark in the collar is for 1950 (I think, Birmingham "A", so it's either 1925 or 1950) so do you think it could be a pre war piece tarted up after to try to boost flagging sales?
I love it, and think it looks better without the damaged collar.
Barbara — A lovely find.
I've looked it up in the pattern books in Reynolds, and, as I expected, it is not there. For some time now I have had the impression that the two factory pattern books "A" and "W" were not updated after about 1946–47, and that there was a new pattern book in use, probably now lost. Also Clyne Farquharson had his own pattern numbering system, sometimes transcribed to the "A" and "W" books as a suffix thus A6100/41E, indicating to me that he kept his own design/pattern book, which could have been one and the same as the missing factory pattern book.
This theory is reinforced by a number of late designs illustrated in Reynolds not appearing in the "A" and "W" books, by some interesting illustrations in a 1947 design publication I bought recently, and now by your scent bottle.
Anyway, back to your scent bottle. I cannot tell from your photograph whether the decoration is cut or moulded, and also it looks slightly opalescent. Any chance of more photographs? Or, even better, could you bring it with you if you are coming to Woking tomorrow?
About the only thing Bernard has'nt mentioned is that Farquharson's work was made until the Walsh factory's demise in 1951. Although the 'Leaf'pattern continued to be produced afterward by Tudor Crystal. This piece looks unusal in the canon of his work and a look at the mark would be useful.
I'm afraid I can't make Woking, my mother-in-law died very suddenly two days after we came back off holiday, and we've had to go to Widnes today to scatter some ashes on her family grave.
But back to the perfume bottle, it has cut elongated elispes, and an engraved wavy line which runs from top to bottom. The inside has some condensation in it, but as the top has the original seals I don't want to mess too much.
I have taken a closer picture, but can't take a good one of the signature.
Barbara — Now I can see it properly it is obviously the pattern Rainsford, launched simultaneously with Leaf, Kendall and several other similar designs around February 1936. Only one example of Rainsford is shown in the pattern books, a vase A5709. Further examples of Rainsford would have been requested by giving the pattern number of the Leaf or whatever blank is shown in the pattern books and asking for it to be cut to the Rainsford pattern.
In the case of your scent bottle, the blank is illustrated cut with a different, unnamed design in the "W" pattern book at W14810, fairly shortly after the earliest of this series of designs (a trinket set shown cut with the Leaf pattern) at W14761. So your bottle could date from 1936–51.
Many thanks for all the info, its just a shame the silver/enamel is damaged, the bottle is fine just a bit damp inside.
I hope that Woking was a good one for you, not long to Cambridge now, and I am GOING to go this time. :twisted: or there will be trouble.
You can get silver/enamel restored. Not wildly expensive and as it seems a rare piece probably worthwhile.
I didn't realise that you could get the enamel repaired. Who would do it for me?
It is a lovely amber colour with little fleur de lys and dots in gold, and it looks as though it was silver gilt but most of the gilt has worn off.
Unfortunately all the restorers I used in my jewellery days are probably dead and buried now. But you could ask at Harrods or Mallet's antiques department for suggestion. The Goldsmiths Company might be able to direct you to a local restorer. Don't worry about the gilt, that can be done too.
