Why Do Convicted Cops Get Lighter Sentences Than the Rest of Us?
The Crown is appealing the sentences of the former Toronto police drug squad officers who were convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice and received 45 day conditional sentences (house arrest) on January 4th of this year.
If some members of the public reacted to the sentences with incredulity and reproach, it is understandable.
Incredulity because, after all, perjury and obstruction of justice convictions almost always result in a custodial sentence for most people. Why not so when police officers, whose role is to uphold the law, are the ones who intentionally mislead or lie to the court and undermine the administration of justice?
Reproach because the judge appeared to have treated the police officers more favourably than others who are convicted of the same offences. The judge's sentence may send a message that police officers, at least when it comes to sentencing, will be given preferential treatment and will receive lighter sentences.
In fact, most cases of perjury or obstruction of justice which involve lay person accused do lead to long custodial sentences.
In R. v. Jackson, a B.C. case, the accused initially received 7 months jail for his perjury charge. The Court of Appeal increased that sentence to 30 months, and stated that perjury is to be treated seriously because of "its corrosive effect on the proper administration of justice."
In an Alberta case involving a relatively less significant case of perjury, the accused, Spath, plead guilty and received a one year jail sentence.
In another Alberta case, R. v. Corbett, a young accused forged a letter of employment for his sentencing and was charged with perjury. His sentence on the perjury was 12 months jail.
In a 2000 Ontario Court of Appeal case, R. v. D.(C.)., the accused received a one year prison term for perjury. The court reinforced that perjury must carry a term of jail, because perjury "strikes at the heart of the administration of justice."
In another Ontario case (R. v. Robinson), this one from 2009, a 46-year-old mother and first-time offender received 8 months for her lie to the court.
In a Newfoundland case where an accused, Kendall, lied under oath, the 42-year-old offender, who had no criminal record and whose pre-sentence report said that he was a suitable candidate for a conditional sentence, nonetheless received a 3-month jail term because the judge said that it would be contrary to the fundamental principles of sentencing to give someone a sentence other than jail for perjury.
Over and over, the courts have emphasized the importance of sending a message to the public that lying to the court is a serious offence, and that incarceration is warranted in cases of perjury in order to deter the offender and others from lying to the courts, and to denounce the act.
So why did that principle not apply to Steven Correia, Ned Maodus, John Schertzer, Raymond Pollard, and Joseph Miched?
These (mostly former) officers were convicted of perjury or obstruction of justice, but received a mere 45 day sentence, to be served in the community, which means that they will serve their time mostly at home, with certain restrictions, and a few hours a week allotted for errands.
There are, in fact, cases where a conditional sentence has been granted for perjury. But such cases are extremely rare. In the 2006 Ontario case of R. v. Graham, the accused lied at her son's bail hearing about her address of residence to help him get bail. When the truth was quickly discovered, she was charged with perjury. No one was harmed. This mother of 6 had no criminal record, did not hold a position of trust (as police officers do), was in charge of an 8-year-old who had Downs Syndrome, and herself suffered from some physical ailments. She did receive a conditional sentence, but in order to ensure that the principle of deterrence was protected, the court gave her a 15 month conditional sentence, plus 100 hours of community service.
No short 45 day sentence for this woman.
In fact, defence council in the drug squad officers' case provided the court with several cases where, not surprisingly, police officers had been granted non-custodial sentences for perjury or obstruction of justice.
The Crown is now asking the Court of Appeal to reconsider those 45 day conditional sentences, and to hand down tougher sentences to the officers. The question for the Court of Appeal will be whether or not the trial judge handed down inappropriate sentences.
If the court were to follow the principle of parity and stay in line with previous cases of perjury and obstruction, it would have to change the sentences to custodial ones. If it does not do so, the Court will likely try to carve out a niche for very exceptional circumstances where a conditional sentence may be granted, or will simply defer to the trial judge. Either way, if the Court of Appeal does not change the sentence to a custodial one, the message that officers can get away with lighter legal ramifications will be amplified.
In reality, the judge's humane and considered approach to sentencing these officers is laudable. She very carefully considered the police officers' personal histories, the traumatic impact of the charges on their lives and their families' lives, and their emotional and psychological states.
The problem is that we don't seem to take the same humane, empathetic approach to other offenders who are not officers.
In a more equitable world, every accused, through his or her lawyer, would have the resources, the skill, and the ability to paint a sympathetic picture of the accused's suffering in the criminal justice system and the negative and emotional impact of the charges on his life. Every judge would be able to relate to the accused person, and, while condemning the accused's actions, would take note of the traumatic effects of the being accused of a crime and the potentially dangerous and horrible effects of being jailed.
The result would be less jails and possibly a more effective and humane criminal justice system.
Alas, we are not ready for that.

The Conservatives' Push to Incarcerate the "Mentally Ill"
Say one thing, do the opposite. That sums up the Canadian government's approach to the treatment of the mentally ill in the criminal justice system.
"(I)ndividuals with mental health issues do not belong in prisons but rather in professional health facilities." Those were the promising words of the Minister of Public Safety, Vic Toews, in the House of Commons on Thursday, November 8, 2012. He made this sweeping and dramatic claim in the wake of the release of the Ashley Smith videos, which portrayed her horrendous and inhumane treatment while she was in custody.
Toews's comments might give an observer hope – hope that soon we will stop putting people with mental health problems in jails.
But in reality, the actions of the federal government lead to a different, bleaker conclusion, because every new criminal law and bill that has been introduced by the current government increases both the number and the length of the stay of mentally ill people in our prisons.
The most recent venture was announced on November 22, 2012. In the new year, the Conservatives intend to introduce a bill that will ensure that persons who suffered from a major mental disorder at the time of the commission of a crime stay in custody longer.
In our courts, a person who is found to have been suffering from a major mental disorder at the time of the commission of the crime may be declared to be to be "not criminally responsible," or NCR, by the courts if this person was unable to "appreciate the nature and quality of his actions" at the time of the offence.
People who are found NCR receive an indefinite sentence. Once a bed in a mental health institution becomes available, then that person is transferred from a jail to that institution to serve their sentence while receiving treatment. A panel of experts then annually reviews the inmate's progress to determine if her mental illness is under control, and if it is safe to release her.
The Conservative government proposes to both decrease the frequency of these reviews and to change the standards so that it is harder to release a person, even if they are deemed safe. As a result, people who have been found NCR but do not pose a threat will spend more time in the already scarce spaces of our mental health institutions. That will mean more people with mental health illnesses will spend a longer period of time in jails, awaiting access to an overburdened mental health facility.
This proposal is directly aimed at people with mental health problems. Despite that, it will not be the worst offender for putting the mentally ill in jail. A string of other laws previously enacted by the current government have already exacerbated the situation.
Take, for example, the supposed "Truth in Sentencing Act" of 2009, which restricted a judge's ability to give more than 1:1 credit for pre-trial custody when counting how much time a person should spend in jail upon conviction. Before this legislation, lack of mental health services and unacceptably restrictive conditions in pre-trial detention (such as lengthy solitary confinement, prolonged and ongoing lock-downs, unavailability of doctors, therapists, or medication, and toilets overflowing in overcrowded cells) could be considered by a judge to reduce the amount of time a person ultimately serves in prisons. The law, however, radically removed this discretion from judges, effectively forcing longer sentences on all people, including the mentally ill who, in the well-informed opinion of the judge, would be better rehabilitated in the community.
Worst yet are the mandatory minimum sentences, which came into force earlier in November of this year. Mandatory minimums force judges to impose a minimum jail term, even where they might believe that a jail term or a lengthy jail term would be detrimental to a person's mental health, his rehabilitation or reintegration.
And yet another law, which came into force on November 20, 2012, eliminates conditional sentences (also known as house arrest) for a wide range of offences, including non-violent ones such as theft over $5000.00, motor vehicle theft, and breaking and entering.
Conditional sentences have traditionally been used not only to reduce the high cost of imprisonment, but also as a valuable tool for enabling rehabilitation and reintegration of offenders, and as a means of keeping families whole, ensuring that people can continue their employment and to receive the kind of support that will improve their mental health. The elimination of conditional sentences means that more people with mental health problems will stay in jail longer.
At anytime, 25-40% of the incarcerated population suffers from a mental disorder. These health problems cannot and will not be remedied in jail. On the contrary, the mental health of these people will often be more acute than before they entered state custody. But our government ignores the victimization of the mentally ill and the cost to society, and persistently makes laws that incarcerate more people with mental health problems for lengthier periods of time.
Ultimately, our government says one thing when the spotlight is on the suffering of people with mental illness, and does quite the opposite when it comes to legislative action.
In other words, people with mental health issues may not belong in jail, but that's where they're going.
There is little to no logical connection between the government's words and their actions.
They do not seem to appreciate the nature and consequences of their actions.
It seems that our legislators could use a good dose of medication and therapy.
But I won't recommend jail.

Q: How to show that there is a natural isomorphism of rings $k\left(s\right)\otimes_{k}k\left(t\right)=S^{-1}\left(k\left(s\right)\left[t\right]\right)$? Let $k$ be a field, $s$ and $t$ two indeterminates over $k$.
Let $S$ be the set of non-zero elements of $k\left[t\right]$.
How can it be shown that there is a natural isomorphism of rings $k\left(s\right)\otimes_{k}k\left(t\right)=S^{-1}\left(k\left(s\right)\left[t\right]\right)$?
This seems to be quite trivial, but I'm not sure how can it be proved rigorously.
Edit:
Does this look like a correct and complete solution?
Let $a\in k\left(s\right),b=\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}\in k\left(t\right)
 $, where $b_{1}\in k\left[t\right]$ and $b_{2}\in S$.
Then a natural isomorphism $\phi:k\left(s\right)\otimes_{k}k\left(t\right)\leftrightarrow S^{-1}\left(k\left(s\right)\left[t\right]\right)$ can be defined as
$$
a\otimes_{k}\frac{b_{1}}{b_{2}}\leftrightarrow b_{2}^{-1}\left(ab_{1}\right)
$$

A: You don't have to reinvent the wheel.
If $A,B$ are any commutative $R$-algebras and $S \subseteq B$ is a multiplicative system, then
$A \otimes_R (S^{-1} B) = S^{-1} (A \otimes_R B).$
In fact, $A \otimes_R (S^{-1} B) = A \otimes_R (B \otimes_R S^{-1} R) = (A \otimes_R B) \otimes_R S^{-1} R = S^{-1} (A \otimes_R B)$.
Apply this to $B=R[t]$.

The shortest distance between two coasts is a wonky line.
I just spent ten days in a car with a journal on my lap. As result, I did a lot of drawing. Not that drawing in a car is ideal. I am prey to carsickness so jolting highways and juddering views are usually not the ideal environment for the delicate stomach of my muse. Nonetheless, as I looked out the windshield four thousand miles, I was constantly drawn to draw.
Aphorists say when you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. And as I spent my whole day with a pen lightly gripped in my hand, everything looked like a drawing. The only effort required to start a drawing was to shrug off the cap and, whenever I wasn't at the helm, I seized every excuse to draw (thank you, Tommy Kane).
The unfolding miles inspired me to use the pen which in turn defined the journey we were on. I saw connections between things, I saw unusual shapes, I saw common things suddenly looking very uncommon. I was hyperaware of the light, of the weather, of the ravages of time. Holding a pen can be like donning polarizing sunglasses, sharpening everything in your field of vision.
Now I am back on terra firma, I want to hold on to that urge and habit. To keep recording all the days that pass under my feet, to keep seeing even the most familiar landscape with the fresh eyes and open mind of a traveler.
Traveling at 70 mph and sketching is a daunting task. Not a time for relaxation, as you have little or no time for that. It can be done, as you so well illustrated. But I always find, while not at the helm, I am still vigilant, alert and watching for hazards' along the road. Not that I don't trust the one behind the wheel, I feel like an extra set of eyes can be useful while traveling. I might add, it appears you made it to your destination, that is always a good thing.
I try to draw when my husband is driving. It always cracks me up because in the end I need to blend multiple makes and models of cars into one while moving so fast. Sometimes the vehicle looks cool, other times it is incredibly ugly…a frankenbuggy.
WOW, great lines. Well done drawing while moving!
We went on a road trip from the east coast to the midwest earlier this summer and I was lucky enough to not be the one driving most of the time and for the first time in the car I picked up my pen and sketchbook and drew my quickly passing surroundings as well as my travel companions. So glad I did! Nice clouds!
Having a hard time identifying….I've been in SBSKOOL for 6 wonderful weeks, and I have to drive myself everywhere all of the time….so drawing time in a car has to be just when I stop to sketch…but I too hope for a fresh and open mind where ever I am, so I do get your point.
Been wondering if losing your garage studio has been traumatic.
I love to sketch on trips while my hubby drives. Somehow the "going by" nature of the view makes me become alert to the need to stay in the moment, not miss it. My sketches tend to be a grab a barn here, a house there, a silo there, trees and plants and fields are a collage that often surprises me! I alway carry a small sketchbook in my purse so I never get caught where I want to capture and be without tools….parking lots,restaurants , lighting on a building etc! So glad you shared the trip with us, Danny! Life is a trip….
Well it was a Most Enjoyable trip from this end. Wonderful & inspiring images.
I too enjoyed your journey along the way (in the back seat so to speak). I can so relate, as on many cross country trips or half way cross trips I've done the same and seen life around me differently; that sticks. I continue to see everything as something needing to be drawn. My favorite drawing was when we followed another car for a long time that had four bicycles tied to it's rear end and I got to draw them all. My wonder is how your dogs are adjusting to no longer having that sunny California back yard? Or did you move outside the CITY?
I feel and am the same when I travel by car or train or whatever. Except that since I am not so good with the pen, I use my camera to " draw" what I see. It's an amazing feeling to suddenly see the world in such a different light. To be so much more aware of your surroundings. Thanks for a great post. Happy to know I'm not alone in this 🙂 Love the illustrations!
This is exactly how I feel, except that instead of a pen, I have my camera….
Cool illustrations and well written post. Highly recommend it!
Your art is a vindication of the conviction of the playwrights. The gun has been put to resounding use. I loved your writing style too.

Tip: Rebalancing Schedule. When to rebalance? There is no set rule. Some rebalance when their portfolio's allocation is off by a specific percentage — say 5%. Others may be comfortable setting the target higher or lower.
Everyone loves a winner. If an investment is successful, most people naturally want to stick with it. But is that the best approach?
It may sound counter intuitive, but it may be possible to have too much of a good thing. Over time, the performance of different investments can shift a portfolio's intent — and its risk profile. It's a phenomenon sometimes referred to as "risk creep," and it happens when a portfolio has its risk profile shift over time.
When deciding how to allocate investments, many start by taking into account their time horizon, risk tolerance, and specific goals. Next, individual investments are selected that pursue the overall objective. If all the investments selected had the same return, that balance — that allocation — would remain steady for a period of time. But if the investments have varying returns, over time, the portfolio may bear little resemblance to its original allocation.
How Rebalancing Works
Rebalancing is the process of restoring a portfolio to its original risk profile.
There are two ways to rebalance a portfolio.
The first is to use new money. When adding money to a portfolio, allocate these new funds to those assets or asset classes that have fallen. For example, if bonds have fallen from 40% of a portfolio to 30%, consider purchasing enough bonds to return them to their original 40% allocation. Diversification is an investment principle designed to manage risk. However, diversification does not guarantee against a loss.
Fast Fact: Expert Insight. "The four most expensive words in the English language are, 'This time it's different.'"
–Sir John Templeton,
Renowned Investor
The second way of rebalancing is to sell enough of the "winners" to buy more underperforming assets. Ironically, this type of rebalancing actually forces you to buy low and sell high.
Periodically rebalancing your portfolio to match your desired risk tolerance is a sound practice regardless of the market conditions. One approach is to set a specific time each year to schedule an appointment to review your portfolio and determine if adjustments are appropriate.
Shifting Allocation
Over time, market conditions can change the risk profile of an investment portfolio. For example, imagine that on January 1, 1997, an investor created a portfolio containing a mix of 50% bonds and 50% stocks. By the end of 2017, the mix would have changed to 44% bonds and 56% stocks.
Source: Thomson Reuters, 2018. For the period December 31, 1996, to December 31, 2017. Stocks are represented by the S&P 500 Composite index (total return), an unmanaged index that is generally considered representative of the U.S. stock market. Bonds are represented by the Citigroup Corporate Bond Composite Index, an unmanaged index that is generally considered representative of the U.S. bond market. Index performance is not indicative of the past performance of a particular investment. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Individuals cannot invest directly in an index. When sold, an investment's shares may be worth more or less than their original cost. Bonds that are redeemed prior to maturity may be worth more or less than their original stated value. The rate of return on investments will vary over time, particularly for longer-term investments. Investments that offer the potential for high returns also carry a high degree of risk. Actual returns will fluctuate. The types of securities and strategies illustrated may not be suitable for everyone.

Q: Spring AMQP: Inspecting RabbitMQ config I am trying to demo the usage of RabbitMQ Credit Flow mechanism as per the blog mentioned here: https://www.rabbitmq.com/blog/2015/10/06/new-credit-flow-settings-on-rabbitmq-3-5-5/
As part of my demo, I want to show that the RabbitMQ will block the publisher from further publishing the messages if the consumer is not able to process the messages.
On the consumer side, I am persisting the message in the database. I have put the RabbitMQ acknowledge mode to MANUAL. The code on the consumer side EXPLICITLY acknowledges after the message is successfully persisted in the database.
As part of my demo, I have set the credit_flow_default_credit parameter in the rabbitmq.config file to 2.
Accordingly, my rabbitmq.config file look as below:
[
   {rabbit,[
        {loopback_users, []},
        {credit_flow_default_credit, {2,1}}
     ]
   }
].

As per my understanding, if RabbitMQ is not able to handle 2 messages then the 3rd message published by the publisher must be blocked.
To achieve what I want, I LOCK the table in the database so that the consumer is not able to persist the record. As a result, it will also not be able to ACKNOWLEDGE.
However, I don't see that the publisher has any problem in publishing the message even though it has already published 2 messages. Why shouldn't the RabbitMQ block further publishing of the messages?
Is there a way I can inspect the rabbitmq.config from the Spring AMQP? I want to make sure that the credit_flow_default_credit is indeed set to 2.

A: No; it's a broker property; the java client can only do things suported by the AMQP protocol.
I suggest you ask questions about RabbitMQ internals (such as why you are not seeing the behavior you expect) on the rabbitmq-users Google group, where the RabbitMQ engineers are active.
They do look here from time-to-time, but you will likely get a faster response here.
However, you should continue to ask here about things specific to Spring AMQP.

Bloomberg, Who Wants to Be a Billionaire?
So let's take their money and BURN it; not redistribute it or such, burn it. Or are your motives less lofty then you put on and more about simple envy?
OK...I'm beginning to understand all this better.
Billionaires spending their own money are a problem because "...money inevitably corrupts. On the left and the right, it buys political power, it silences dissent, it serves primarily to perpetuate ever-greater wealth, often unrelated to any reciprocal social good."
Government employees spending money that's not even theirs to spend--money extorted from taxpayers at the barrel of a gun--are evidently not such a problem because presumably such money does not "...buy political power, silence dissent, [or] serve primarily to perpetuate ever-greater government [power], often unrelated to any reciprocal social good."
Let's see - government atrocities: the French revolutionary terror, the Ukrainian famine and Soviet show trials of the '30's, the Armenian massacre at the end of World War I, the Holocaust. How many atrocities can be laid at the feet of billionaires? I'll take my chances with a billionaire, thank-you.
Just food for thought, but... how many billionaires are there in America? There can't be that many. And let's assume the government could and would seize all of their assets, after which nobody would ever try to become a billionaire or face the same punitivie policies.
What would that net the government, ballpark, in terms of net worth?
Would it make much of a difference? Would it even make a dent in the national debt?
Anybody have a idea on that one?
I'd rather society determine how much money someone deserves by how much the market rewards them for selling something the marketplace wants, than rely on some self-appointed tyrants deciding whether their contributions to society are sufficiently earned.

Online education allows the State University System (SUS) of Florida to expand its portfolio of offerings to meet the needs of its diverse constituent base. Increased and convenient access to higher education, regardless of where students may live or their family or work obligations, helps to create a strong workforce and to attract businesses that provide high-skill, high-wage jobs that drive today's economy.
A blend of talented, well-prepared faculty members, modern learning technologies, and well-designed online courses and programs creates opportunities to improve pedagogies, engage faculty in the scholarship of teaching and learning, increase student academic success, and accelerate time-to degree. At scale, online education provides colleges and universities the means to significantly expand access to education far beyond the capacity and geographic limits of their brick-and-mortar infrastructure. These all combine to reduce barriers of opportunity and capacity, lowering the overall cost of delivering a quality education to all who may wish to receive it.
This 2025 SUS Strategic Plan for Online Education outlines goals and strategies that, when successfully pursued, will result in improved instruction and increased educational opportunities, leading to a greater number of Florida citizens holding valuable academic credentials and more efficient use of existing campuses while expanding access far beyond their borders.
The Plan provides a framework around which to unite the collective talents and resources of Florida's universities toward a common purpose: more Florida citizens with educational credentials that will improve their lives, lead to new discoveries, and advance Florida's economy.
On October 30, 2019, and May 5, 2020, the Board approved revisions to performance indicators and their corresponding goals.
Development of the Plan
At its November 2014 meeting, the Board of Governors Innovation and Online Committee directed that a task force be created to strategically plan for online education in the SUS. President John Hitt, University of Central Florida, agreed to chair the Task Force for Strategic Planning for Online Education, whose membership of thirteen included five university presidents and four provosts, as well as representation from faculty, students, Complete Florida/Florida Virtual Campus, and the Florida College System's Council of Presidents.
Governor Ned Lautenbach, chair of the Innovation and Online Committee, charged the Task Force with focusing on three primary elements: quality, access, and affordability. The Task Force created workgroups to focus on each of these respective areas, directing them to develop strategies for advancing online education in Florida. The Task Force and its workgroups held a total of 22 meetings to develop the draft Plan. In September 2015, a draft was sent to members of the following groups for their review and feedback:
Council of Academic Vice Presidents (CAVP)
Council of Student Affairs (CSA)
Council for Administrative and Financial Affairs (CAFA)
Florida Virtual Campus, Members Council for Distance Learning and Student Services (FCS and SUS)
Florida College System Council of Presidents
Governmental Relations Staff
On November 4, 2015, the Task Force presented its revised draft Plan to the Board's Innovation and Online Committee, where it was unanimously approved and forwarded to the Board for its consideration. On November 5, 2015, the Board unanimously approved the Plan. On October 30, 2019, and May 5, 2020, the Board approved revisions to performance indicators and their corresponding goals.

There'll be times when you have to store large amount of log data and other information for your Arduino project, for example a GPS logger. The EEPROM memory of all available microcontrollers are limited in size. The solution is to use a NAND Flash memory. The portable version of a NAND Flash memory is available as SD cards, in many storage sizes and form factors. SD cards and USB flash drives have become an indispensable things in our everyday life.
Though you could insert an SD card in your phone or computer easily and browse all your files, hardware interfacing an SD card of any type with Arduino or similar development boards isn't that easy. You could understand it just by reading the SD card spec sheet. The Secure Digital (SD) standard is maintained by the SD Card Association. They standardize and publish all the related specifications to manufacture and implement SD cards. Most of the documents are confidential and are only available to manufacturers and software companies. A simplified version (it isn't that simple) of the SD card specification is available for the public in the SD Card Association's website.
What we're going to do here is to interface a microSD card with an Arduino Uno using the SdFdat library developed by William Greiman and is based on the Simplified SD Card Specification. Before we delve into the interfacing, let's have a basic understanding of what an SD card is, how it is organized, different forms and pinouts of it.
The microSD card is a type of removable NAND-type small Flash memory card format which was introduced in 2003. microSD measures 11mm x 15mm and is 1mm thick. Internally the card is organized as interface driver, card interface controller and memory core.
The interface driver connects to the external interface pins. This sets the pins to appropriate modes and select and monitor the operating voltage and other parameters required for physical interfacing. The card interface controller is the section that processes user commands and read from or write to the actual memory core. It has many registers associated with it. The memory core is where data is stored. It is typically a NAND Flash memory.
The SdFat library requires a properly formatted card to work exactly as we want. The library supports FAT16 and FAT32 file systems, though it is recommended to format to FAT16 when possible. You need a card reader and a PC to format the card. If you're on Windows 7, right click the card volume icon and select the "Format" option. Now a window will open on which you have to select FAT or FAT16 from the drop-down list for file system and then click "Start Format".
There are 8 pins on the microSD card which you should avoid touching as you may damage the card, even though it's protected against ESD. There are two ways a microSD can be interfaced with a microcontroller - SPI mode and SD mode. The pin assignments for these modes are different. The SD mode is the fastest and is used in mobile phones, digital cameras etc. The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) mode is slow but requires less overhead compared to SD mode and is compatible with any microcontroller with built-in SPI. So we'll be using the SPI mode and its pin assignments.
I had bought a couple of Catalex Micro SD Card Adaptors from inkocean for Rs.70. What is "Catalex" you may ask. I don't know; it's just printed on the back of the PCB with a dead link that redirects to a Chinese site. I couldn't find any datasheet or schematic for the module. So I had to design one myself.
A micro SD card has an operating voltage of 3.3V. If your host board uses 3.3V as the logic supply (such as Arduino Due), then you do not need this module at all. Instead, you can directly interface the card to the microcontroller from the card slot. But if your microcontroller operates at voltages exceeding the 3.3V, then you need a logic level shifter such as the module we're discussing about. This is because, any voltages exceeding 3.6V will damage the SD card permanently.
The 741VC125 on the module is a quadruple 3-state buffer. It can translate the 3.3V logic signals from the card to and from a 5V Arduino Uno if we provide 3.3 - 3.6V as supply voltage for the buffer. This is called logic level shifting. Three of the pins, MOSI, SCK and CS carry signals from the Arduino to the card and the MISO carries signals from the card to Arduino. Therefore one of the buffer is connected in reverse order (see the IC1D part in the above schematic). All the four buffers have 3.3K resistors in series for protection.
But there's another problem; as the ENABLE pin 13 of the MISO buffer of 74VC125 is always tied to ground, other slaves, if using multiple slaves, on the same SPI bus cannot communicate with the master as the signals will interfere each other. Slaves actually need to activate high impedance state on the MSIO pin when not selected on a common SPI bus. So to use other slave devices along with this module, you need to make some small changes. First disconnect the pin 13 of the buffer from ground and then tie it to the respective SS pins of the master, probably with a pull-up. This way, the MISO of the module will be brought to high Z state when it's not selected. Thanks to Christian Charlot to pointing out this issue. Below is a modified schematic to allow multiple slaves on the common SPI bus.
VCC of module to 5V of Arduino.
GND of module to GND of Arduino.
CS to digital pin 10 of Uno.
MOSI to digital pin 11 of Uno.
MISO to digital pin 12.
SCK to digital pin 13.
In Arduino Uno, the digital pin 10 (pin 16 of ATmega328P) is the dedicated Slave Select (SS) pin. But you could connect the CS of the module to any digital pin of the Uno by initiating the card with SD.begin(pin). The SdFat library we'll be using needs the digital pin 10 (SS pin on Arduino) to set as output, because the SS will be still manipulated when hardware SPI is used. So changing its state to digital output might disable the SPI. There will be usually a Chip Detect (CD) pin from the SD card slot. But unfortunately this Catalex module doesn't have a CD output. So that's all about the wiring. Here's a pinout of an ATmega8/168/328 if you are confused.
For using the module with 3.3V devices, all you need to do is to bypass the on-board 3.3V regulator and connect your 3.3V supply to the output pin of the regulator (or you can remove the regulator too). The 74LVC125 will work fine with 3.3V supply.
If you have connected the module with Arduino, now we can upload the code to read the card information. The program is available from the example library in the Arduino IDE. Go to File > Examples > SD > CardInfo. Now the program will be opened in a new window. On the 36th line, change the value of chipSelect from 4 to 10, if you had connected the module as we said earlier. Otherwise set it to the pin you chose. Then compile and upload. If everything was done correctly, you can see the card information printed when you open the serial monitor.
If nothing shows up, chances are you did the wiring wrong. Go back and check if everything's done right. If wiring is right and the card you inserted is faulty, then an "inititialization failed" message will be printed along with some troubleshooting tips.
If the wiring is right and the card is well formatted to FAT16 or FAT32, then the program will print the card details and list of files present in it. If the SD card is not properly formatted, the following message will show up.
As I mentioned earlier, we'll be using the SdFat library for which we should thank William Greiman. The Arduino IDE comes with the SD library. So all you have to do to use the library is include the SD.h file in your code. The SD library is well documented in the reference section of Arduino website. Head over to there and read about the available classes, functions and their return types. The CardInfo.ino program uses some utility functions that are not documented in there. You can find those information and more in the GitHub page of the SdFat library. The repository contains an HTML documentation.
I've written some code to initialize, write to and read from the SD card through simple commands. This would help you to be conscious of what happening rather than opening the serial monitor and seeing everything printed automatically. The following code initializes the card when you type and send the command i.
// Micro SD Card initialization code.
; //wait for the serial port to connect.
The code is self-explanatory. It first establishes serial communication link with a baud rate of 9600 when the microcontroller turns on. The card gets initialized when you type and send i or I from the serial monitor. Then it will print whether the initialization was success or failure. You can not initialize a card that is already initialized. You have to break the serial communication link to do that.
Below is a code that'll initialize the card, open a text file called TEST.txt, create if there isn't one, write a piece of text to the file, read and print from the file. Type i to initialize, n to open/create a text file and r to read and print from the file via serial monitor. There's one thing to be aware of : file naming convention. You can not have files named like I Have Some File Here.txt. Because the SD Card library only supports the 8.3 or Short File Name convention. As per SFN scheme, the file name must be of maximum 8 characters + a period + three character extension (thus the 8.3) and the name is not case sensitive.
// Writing to and reading from a micro SD card.
I've thoroughly commented the code. So I hope you wouldn't find it hard to understand. The card is initialized just like we saw in the previous program. The boolean variable sdInitStatus keeps track of the card initialization status. The file is opened with write mode when you enter n and if there is no file with that name, the write mode will cause a file to be created and then opens it; just like in the C/C++ file handling programs. An object of type SD is used in conjunction with the println() function to write to the file. Note that data is written to the file only when the functions close() or flush() is invoked. Make sure to do that right when you write a program for any application.
The r command will open the file we just created with read mode which is the default one. You can use the read() function to read a single byte from the file. The read function will return -1 if the file is empty or the EOF (End of File) is reached. The current position within the file is incremented by one when you read a byte using the read() function. We keep track of the file position using the variable filePos. The file position can be obtained using the position() function. The maximum value of file position will be the size of the file which can be obtained by calling size().
Here we're using a separate function to read any text from the file until a newline character (\n whose DEC equivalent is 10) is found or the EOF reached. The function uses peek() to determine the end of file which returns a -1 at EOF. Unlike read(), the peek() doesn't increment the actual file position after execution. The seek() function sets the file position to desired point in file. We have used this to relocate the file position to the start of the file when EOF is found so that we can read the file again.
Text is read to a char array readCharArray and then converted to String type using type casting.
Now you know how to include a Micro SD card in your next Arduino project and learned what the SD card library can and can't do. I hope you enjoyed reading this tutorial and learned something new. If you found any error with the descriptions, code or missed something important, however small it is, please feel free to inform me. Thanks for reading.

Pixel the French bulldog has an unusual hobby that's both adorable and sneaky: He loves to steal slippers! Pixel sneaks into his parents' bedroom and then quickly absconds with the precious footwear - again and again and again. Apparently, nothing is more wonderful than making off with a pair of terry cloth shoes.
Pixel's owner says on YouTube that Pixel is positively delighted whenever he snags a pair of shoes: "He absolutely loves slippers and when he gets one in his teeth, he oinks like [a] little happy piggy. With him around, you can't leave any kind of shoes even for a second. He hunts them like it's his only mission in life."
Pixel seems pretty skilled at slipper-hunting, TBH.
Pixel has become somewhat internet-famous for bravely attempting to reclaim his bed from a very unimpressed cat. But now it seems that Pixel has become the tricky thief!
... he'll just take one of each!
But don't even THINK about trying to take back those slippers. He rightfully EARNED those, OK?
You can check out even more of Pixel's antics on his Instagram account (because he is absolutely fabulous enough to have his own).

Q: Spring - Pagination with spring data and native complex query I am having a query that uses a declare statement before executing the actual query. As I am using MSSQL server.
So, my query is like the the below:
DECLARE @IdParam NVARCHAR(50) = (
SELECT TOP 1 PartyID
FROM PartyInfo
WHERE PartyName = ?1
ORDER BY IsPrimary DESC);

SELECT *
FROM TutorialInfo
WHERE UserId = @IdParam

And my repository has the following method that call native NamedQuery
@Query(nativeQuery = true)
List<UserConvictedCases> getUserConvictedCasesByQid(String qid, Pageable pageable);

My issue that when I execute that method, I am getting the below exception because the pageable is being inserted in the wrong place in the query.
failed: org.springframework.dao.InvalidDataAccessResourceUsageException: JDBC exception executing SQL [DECLARE @IdParam NVARCHAR(50) = (
SELECT TOP 1 PartyID
FROM PartyInfo
WHERE PartyName = ?1
ORDER BY IsPrimary DESC) order by @@version offset 0 rows fetch first ? rows only;

I have a workaround of course for this, that I will use the declared variable in each place I need it. But my question is about is there anyway that I can get this to work and put the pageable parameter in the right place in the query?
Thank you in advance


Last Friday was the official Midwinter celebrations in Cambridge – a big get-together and lunch for BAS staff. It started with some presentations: two videos made at Rothera were shown – one by the Dive Unit, showing off their underwater camera and one a daft music video shot by a team from Sky News last year, featuring various Rothera-based musicians covering Talking Heads' classic "Psycho Killer". Watching the videos was very strange – suddenly I was seeing the landscape around the base at Rothera, which is very impressive and beautiful with the realisation that in a few short months I will be there. Very wierd.
Following the videos, the director of BAS, Chris Rapley, presented long service awards to staff who'd served 25 years with the organisation. This was followed by a hot buffet lunch: Ivon the chef had pulled all the stops to do a choice of hot roast meats and salads outside in the quadrangle. At the very moment Chris Rapley finished speaking, the heavens opened and Ivon and his team whisked it all inside to the canteen (which is called the Icebreaker…) where we all enjoyed an excellent meal. Mmm!
I've now been working at BAS HQ for just over a week, and settling into the way things are done here. I've also found out what I'm going to be doing in terms of training courses and booked travel and accomodation for them. So, starting from the 25th July, I'm doing basic UNIX and Netware, mast and structure climbing at Western Power in Taunton, Marine Long Range Certificate in Edinburgh, Netware administration in London, satellite systems in Aberdeen, field training in Derbyshire, aeronautical radio in Cambridge, HF maintenance in Redhill and metereology in Cambridge. And I'm learning to drive a "cherry picker" hydraulic platform, which is clearly the best bit! I've also been able to fulfill a long desire of mine: I'm going to Edinburgh and Aberdeen on the Caledonian Sleeper which seems to have become insanely cheap: APEX return tickets to Edinburgh for £89 and to Aberdeen for £99 – bargain!
My work at the moment consists of doing the "indent" – at this time of year the bases send in their requests for new and replacement equipment for the coming year – and I'm going through all the lists of stuff and ordering it. So far, I've ordered about £8,500 of radio gear and GPS sets, and £1600 of electronic bits from RS, of which about £500 was Duracell batteries!
Having accepted the job, had the medical and vaccinations (typhoid, tetanus, diptheria, hepatitis A – yellow fever coming soon once they've overcome a national shortage of vaccine) and read the wonderfully Byzantine contract, it was time for a first day at work in Cambridge.
Arriving at BAS after 90 minutes of London traffic, the Blackwall Tunnel and the M11 was kind of strange – only four weeks before I'd been walking up to this building for an interview – but I was met by Chris, my new boss, and then shown down to Personnel where I had the usual briefing on the joys of first aid, emergency exits, fire wardens, teabreak times, clocking on to flexitime and how to find the shower room. Chris then took me round and round the building, introducing me to countless people whose names I now just about remember. Memorable highlights – the enthusiastic people in the MAGIC room (where they're all map wizards: MAGIC is short for Mapping and Geographical Information Centre) who showed off some really lovely 3D models of the mountains around Rothera and gave me a couple of maps for my very own. The maps really are things of great beauty, and the skill in producing them is very evident.
We then discussed the training courses I'll be doing. It looks like I'm doing one or two courses on Novell NetWare, one on climbing and rigging masts and towers (in Taunton), one on radio repair and maintenance, the Civil Aviation Authority's Air-Ground Radio Operator's course (and possibly also the Flight Information Safety Officer course, too), a marine radio operations course (GMDSS – which would allow me to pursue a career as a ship's radio officer, if I wanted to) and a satellite systems course. All this plus the basic training that all Antarctic staff get: camping, climbing, abseiling and first aid.
I spent two days in Cambridge: the second day was taken up with learning a bit about metereology (in particular the various met. instruments on the base) and reading reports and documents relating to replacing the HF radio sets BAS uses, as the present ones are getting harder to get spares for.
So, to Cambridge. I had a pretty pleasant journey all the way up there on the train and, after seeing the immense queue for taxis, decided to get the buses out to BAS HQ, which is on the far side of town from the station. The HQ building is on a somewhat unfinished science park called High Cross, which is run by the University of Cambridge. The building's been recently smartened up, with a pleasant new reception area, although it acts as a gateway to a labyrinth of narrow corridors in plain and functional concrete buildings. The interviewers were friendly and enthusiastic, and I talked a good deal about work I'd done at the BBC and why I was keen to work in the frozen South. By the end of the interview we were exchanging fairly detailed questions about the job and working environment, and I was getting the impression that they liked me!
The following day I returned from lunch to an answerphone message from the personnel office at BAS. I had got the job – at the larger of the two bases: Rothera.
How did I come to be doing this? I've given up my permanent job at the BBC's R&D department to spend about eighteen months working on a research station in Antarctica. Some might say I was mad.

360º movie theaters aren't a thing, yet. But 270º are, and they're now in the US.
WATCH: You can find one of these 270 theaters in Los Angeles, Buena Park, California, and in Las Vegas.
Immersive 360-degree cinema is coming, but while you wait, the people over at ScreenX thought 270 degrees would hold you over.
The ScreenX technology used the adjacent walls in regular movie theaters to project a little more of the movie, proving what they call an "immersive experience."
This technology isn't new. It's huge in South Korea, having launched in 2012. But now it's in the U.S., and you can find it in Los Angeles, Buena Park, California, and Las Vegas.
In order for the film to be screened in this format, it must be shot using a three-camera setup.
"Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales" is the first American film to be screened in this format.
We visited CGV Cinemas in Los Angeles' Koreatown on a Thursday afternoon to see what people thought of ScreenX's arrival to the American film industry.
Nyang, who was there watching "Pirates of the Caribbean" with her son, was impressed.
"You can actually feel that you are in the scene, and it actually moves around you," she told Circa.
But there's a catch. The entire movie isn't in 270, just parts of it. Nyang says she prefers this.
"If it was ScreenX the whole time," Nyang said, "it could've been a little bit more confusing."
She says she prefers watching movies in ScreenX over 3-D.
You should probably see for yourself, though. Tickets to "Pirates" in ScreenX run at $13.50 for adults, which is the same price as the regular 2-D screening.
ScreenX has 75 screens in 44 locations worldwide and plans to operate 10,000 screens by 2020.

Q: Spring AMQP message resiliency in case broker connectivity down I have a Use Case of managing Spring AMQP client message resiliency in case of RabbitMQ server connectivity down,
For the same I have used Spring Retry
RabbitTemplate template = // get template from some bean
RetryTemplate retryTemplate = new RetryTemplate();
ExponentialBackOffPolicy backOffPolicy = new ExponentialBackOffPolicy();

backOffPolicy.setInitialInterval(10000);

retryTemplate.setBackOffPolicy(backOffPolicy);
template.setRetryTemplate(retryTemplate);

template.convertAndSend("Direct-Exchange",
        "Test.Routing.Key", AMQPMessage);

But when a try to test it and bring broker down it hangs at template.convertAndSend() and never recovers even when RabbitMQ broker connectivity is restored

Macedonian Ex-PM Fled In Hungarian Diplomatic Car, Albanian Police Say
Former Macedonian Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski (left) welcomes Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban in Ohrid in September 2017.
Former Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski escaped Macedonia through Albania in a Hungarian diplomatic car, police in Tirana have said after Budapest formally denied any involvement.
Gruevski left Albania on November 11 "at 7:11 p.m. using the border crossing Hani i Hotit, to enter Montenegro," a police statement said.
Gruevski traveled in a car with the number plate CD 1013A, it said.
Montenegrin police confirmed that Gruevski entered the country on November 11 "and left Montenegro the same day," adding that they had "fully respected legal procedures in this case."
Gruevski, the former leader of the conservative VMRO-DPMNE party, was sentenced in May to two years in prison for unlawfully influencing Interior Ministry officials over the purchase of a luxury vehicle valued at 600,000 euros ($680,000).
Facing jail after his appeal was rejected, Gruevski fled to Hungary, a European Union member, where he sought asylum.
Earlier on November 15, the Hungarian government formally denied having actively provided assistance in Gruevski's escape.
"The Hungarian state authorities had nothing to do with him leaving the territory of his own country," Prime Minister Viktor Orban's cabinet chief, Gergely Gulyas, told reporters.
"The Hungarian state had nothing to do with him leaving Macedonia."
A Hungarian government representative said later that it did not want to comment on the information released by Albania.
In the past, Gruevski has indicated he was close to Orban.
In 2017, Orban offered his public backing to Gruevski during his campaign for municipal elections, in which his party lost to the ruling Social Democrats.
Both have accused U.S. billionaire philanthropist George Soros of stoking illegal immigration -- claims that Soros denies.
