[By Nick, New for 2014, Discontinued] With brands like TCBY invading the freezer aisle, it was only a matter of time before others such as Baskin-Robbins followed suit. "But wait Nick, you could already buy pre-packaged Baskin-Robbins products." Why yes, you're correct. You can buy their products from one of their stores but what if you're someone like me who doesn't have a Baskin-Robbins within a 50 mile radius? (That's the furthest their website would let me search. I'm pretty sure I don't have one within 100 miles of me.) Well thanks to the folks at Boardwalk Frozen Treats, you can now purchase Baskin-Robbins bars and faux-pints from your local grocery store! While not in stores around me just yet, they were kind enough to send me a sample pack of both lines. Since I got the complete catalog of bars, let's take a look at those first!
There are three bars in total: Jamoca, Mint and World Class Chocolate. While the base flavors are obviously different, the first two use a dark chocolate flavored shell while the world class chocolate uses a milk chocolate shell. Let's start this review with the dark ones.
The dark chocolate shell isn't all that dark to be honest. The flavor is actually quite weak overall. Outside of the color, I'd be hard pressed to identify it as dark over any other type of chocolate. The flavor of the chocolate shell is irrelevant however because both ice creams overpower it when eaten as a whole. This works for the Jamoca bar but not so much for the Mint.
On the other hand, the Mint bars don't fair all too well. First off, the mint ice cream is reaching the territory of toothpaste and while that can be saved by the addition of chocolate, there's just none of that going on. I don't think I've ever experienced a time when I questioned if chocolate was even involved. It adds a crunch so there's that but if I was blinded folded I'd think it was a mint shell or something like that. There's not even chocolate mixed in to the ice cream making this one a lost cause in my book. Some people might like these but I'd much rather have a mint bar from Magnum or Dove. Actually, I'd prefer a mint sandwich from Skinny Cow over this. No Bueno, no Bueno at all. Okay, enough of a rant let's move onto the World Class Chocolate bar!
Okay, the milk chocolate shell is definitely superior. Not only can I identify it as milk chocolate, but it's far sturdier as well. While the dark chocolate shell cracked in places when I tried cutting it/biting into it, the milk chocolate stayed intact throughout making for a cleaner, more enjoyable eating experience.
Also the milk chocolate bars appear to be larger than the first two in size. They all weigh the same so something else is going on here. Shockingly enough, I'm also able to distinguish the chocolate shell against the two ice creams inside of the bar. The milk chocolate ice cream isn't much different from the shell taste-wise except that it is a tad bit sweeter. The white chocolate is hands down my favorite out of all the flavors. You get a nice buttery white chocolate that contrasts perfectly with the sweet milk chocolate.
That's not the best part of the bar though. The texture is what makes this one for me. Described as milk chocolate and white chocolate mousse ice cream, they weren't kidding on the mousse part. The texture isn't dense like the two dark bars. Instead it's light and fluffy just like a mousse. This would explain the bar looks bigger than the other two with the added air. Now this isn't some fdd texture, you still know its ice cream. It's just the contrast between the crunchy, solid milk chocolate coating and the whipped texture of the ice cream that are addicting. Even for being my third bar, this one was gone in no time. This ranks up there as a favorite novelty for me. Good job, Boardwalk!
World Class Chocolate - Amazing contrast in flavor and texture.
I can't wait until these and the pints show up in my area. We used to go to BR growing up and it was such a treat. Wonder if the pints will be the same ice cream you get handpacked in the store?
The Jamoca bars sound pretty decent.
Just wanted to note that I stopped at Shaws on the way home yesterday and spied all the new products on their shelves, so hopefully you will see them soon too!
I tried the B&R Pralines and Cream pint from the grocery store, since it's one of my all time favorites. Hated it! It has a total different mouth feel, airy and cheaper tasting than if you go to B&R and have them handpack it for you out the big brown yummy tub!
Spoiled, sorry to hear about your experience. Like I said, it's not the same product as you'd get in the stores due to different type of preparation and manufacturing standards they have to go through. Hopefully since I don't have access to fresh BR, I won't be so disappointed with my container I have in my freezer.
Thanks both Dubba and Nick for answering.
Happy Easter to both of you and your families!
No problem, Anon! Hope you've had a great Easter as well.
I totally agree with SpoiledBerners about the texture and flavor of the prepackaged ice cream flavors. I have been eating BR World Class Chocolate for decades and just today I saw that they had it in a prepackaged container. I was so excited since its always cheaper to buy those then the hand packaged kind. Well it was a total let down. Now I know why they are cheaper! Its not as good! I was suspicious with the weight of the container before I even got to the car. Then when I opened it up and tried it I knew from the first bite that it wasn't the same. What a let down! I'm just glad they haven't changed the original recipe or I would have a heart attack!
won't know. I will say that it compares to so many other brands of Mint chip.
I won't purchase this any more, obviously.


OLRS is a small Catholic homeschool company that uses the book Jesus Comes. They use it to teach the Catholic beliefs in their home school curriculum for First Communion. Jesus Comes is also the foundation book for St. Anne's Audio Catechism and Catechism Copybook for First Communion.
OLRS offers beautiful and encouraging words to parents about the sacrament of Matrimony giving them the graces necessary to educate their children. I think that this is so important to know. It has been so helpful and hopeful for me to know that God gives us the right to His help when we are married in the Catholic Church - depend on it!
This company uses the book Jesus Comes which is the foundation book for St. Anne's Audio Catechism and Copybook for First Communion. It offers beautiful encouraging words to parents about the sacrament of Matrimony giving them the graces necessary to educate their children.
Our Lady of the Rosary School, Inc. is an international Catholic homeschool. "We are an apostolate dedicated to saving the souls of children by giving them the opportunity to receive a superior, truly Catholic education in the best possible environment - the home.
Our mission is to help parents teach their children the Catholic Faith in its entirety using sound Catholic educational materials, covering all subjects. We have been helping parents educate their children since 1983, providing them with the materials they need to give their children a sound, well-rounded, exceptional Catholic education. This Catholic education helps prepare children for further academic growth and development in the safe, wholesome environment of their own home."
From CFN: "Can an average parent teach a child at home?"
"It has always been taught by the Church that the parents are the primary educators of their children. Parents not only have the right but also the duty to educate their children. God never gives us a duty without giving us the ability to carry out that duty. The sacrament of Holy Matrimony is the greatest untapped resource of our age. It is an immense, extremely necessary treasury of graces, including all the graces to educate our children. Our experience at OLRS has borne this out. We have seen parents with very little education educate students who excelled in college. It is the grace that flows from the sacrament of Holy Matrimony and a good Catholic curriculum that makes this possible."

127-Year-Old Lakeview East Building Relocated To Accommodate CTA Project
By CBS 2 Chicago Staff August 2, 2021 at 10:24 pm
Filed Under:Chicago News, Lakeview East, Modernization Project, Purple Line, Red Line, Vautravers Residential Building
CHICAGO (CBS) — The Vautravers residential building at 947 W. Newport Ave. in the Lakeview East neighborhood is moving a few feet to accommodate a CTA project. The building is 127 years old.
On Monday afternoon, crews started slowly moving it 30 feet to the west, for the CTA Red and Purple Line Modernization Project.
It will give the Chicago Transit Authority room to remove a curve in the track and allow for faster and more reliable train service north of the Belmont station with new stretch of track called the Belmont Flyover.
The move has a big price tag. It cost $1.75 million to buy the building and another $1.75 million to move it.
The building had been moved 25 feet as of Monday night, and the move will be completed on Tuesday. Work on the building should be finished in September.

Climate shelters in schools
Climate change is happening now and is having an effect on people's health and quality of life. Barcelona is faced with the challenge of having to combat high temperatures which, according to climate forecasts, will have an impact on the city due to the effects of climate change.
Barcelona City Council has received funding from Urban Innovation Action (UIA), a European Commission programme as part of the 'Adapting schools to climate change through green, blue and grey', project. The projects proposes initiatives in eleven schools through a package of blue measures (incorporating water points), green measures (spaces for shade and vegetation) and grey measures (works on buildings to improve insulation).
School pupils and citizens alike will be able to enjoy these improvements, as school playgrounds will remain open throughout the summer. The project also has a teaching element to it, as children will take part in designing climate solutions and evaluating the measures taken. In parallel, various research centres will scientifically assess the results of measures taken in terms of health and climate comfort.
The UIA is an initiative that aims to find and test new solutions to sustainable urban development challenges that are relevant to all members of the European Union. The Barcelona project has received an ERDF subsidy for €4 million (more than €1 million contributed by the city) and a commitment has been made to carry it out from 2019 to 2022.
The project partners include Barcelona City Council, the Barcelona Education Consortium, the public service provider Barcelona Cicle de l'Aigua SA (BCASA), the Public Health Agency of Barcelona (ASPB), the UAB Institute for Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA-UAB), Barcelona Institute for Global Health (IS Global) and Vila Olímpica school.
What is the project about?
The aim is to convert eleven schools currently considered vulnerable to heat into climate shelters open to all city residents by implementing traditional solutions against heat in buildings and by transforming playgrounds through the introduction of vegetation, spaces for shade and water points.
Lines of work
Participation: pupils, the educational community and various institutions and experts who take part in the project will agree on the design of spaces and will define specific needs.
Educational project: the definition and follow-up of these measures will be included in the educational project, which will focus mainly on climate change information and training.
Opening up of spaces for citizens: the aim is that these spaces will not only be used by school pupils, but also by all city residents in the surroundings, who will have access to playgrounds outside of teaching timetables.
Health and evaluation: all changes will be monitored from the point of view of health and wellbeing, allowing us to assess the impact achieved on environmental, health, wellbeing and other parameters.
Replicability: through these measures, we are seeking to ensure that citizens and the school community understand the need to boost initiatives to adapt the city to climate change. We also hope that these measures are replicable in other buildings, particularly schools.
The schools selected
Barcelona Education Consortium invited all primary state schools in the city to take part in an application process. Forty-five schools took part, ten of which were selected, one per district. The selection of schools took into account climate criteria (degree of heat exposure, level of green coverage, etc.), intensity of building usage, state of the building and energy consumption, and current playground condition.
The eleven schools selected are as follows:
Ciutat Vella Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera Cervantes
L'Eixample Nova Esquerra de l'Eixample Els Llorers
Sants-Montjuïc La Marina de Port Ramon Casas
Les Corts Les Corts Ítaca
Sarrià - Sant Gervasi El Putxet i el Farró Poeta Foix
Gràcia Vallcarca i els Penitents Rius i Taulet
Horta-Guinardó La Font d'en Fargas Font d'en Fargas
Nou Barris Les Roquetes Antaviana (institut-escola)
Sant Andreu Sant Andreu Can Fabra
Sant Martí El Poblenou Poblenou
Sant Martí El Poblenou Vila Olímpica
How have schools been transformed into Climate Shelters?
Outside spaces have been transformed, under a collaborative process between authorities, organisations and schools with educational projects involving children from every school to decide on the specific initiatives.
These green, blue and grey initiatives have helped to reclaim some 1,000 square metres of natural land with plants in school playgrounds, replacing concrete ground, and 2,213 square metres of new spaces have been created, shaded by pergolas and awnings. In addition, a total of 74 trees have been planted, equivalent to the number of trees found in two entire blocks in Eixample, and 26 new water points have been installed.
You can check a few of the most outstanding proposals here.
Paris, twin project
The city of Paris is promoting a similar project, the Paris OASIS project, approved in the same UIA meeting and also focused on adapting to climate change through school-based initiatives.
Adapting and the Climate Plan
The Barcelona Climate Plan is a cross-departmental plan incorporating 242 measures up to the year 2030. A strategic plan with proposals to mitigate the effects of climate change, to adapt the city, to promote climate justice and to boost citizen participation.
Among others, it gathers together measures to increase the city's adaptation and resilience to the effects of climate change that are already starting to be seen. Line of action 1 specifically relates to citizen wellbeing, 'the primary persons', and when it comes to 'heat prevention', it involves improving thermal comfort in the city's public spaces and buildings and creating a network of places that give shelter in high temperatures, in order to protect people's health and provide special care for the most vulnerable groups.

What does a feminist internet look like?
Chitra Nagarajan
Creating an empowering online future doesn't just mean ending harassment of women – it means harnessing the internet's power to show the reality of our lives
@chitranagarajan
Mon 12 Sep 2016 09.24 EDT Last modified on Fri 15 Sep 2017 07.22 EDT
'#MyFirstHarassment spurred thousands of women in Brazil to talk about sexual harassment after sexual comments were made about a 12-year-old girl on the Brazilian version of Junior MasterChef.' Photograph: Carol Gherardi/Band TV
Dance like nobody is watching, sing like nobody is listening and email like it will be read out in court. Or so Nadine Moawad of the Association for Progressive Communications (APC) joked. Feminist activists from around the world were in a conference room in Brazil, discussing what a feminist internet might look like. How did we get here?
The number of prosecutions for violence against women and girls in England and Wales is at record levels. According to a report published by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) last week, 2015-16 saw a 10% increase on the year before. A rising trend is the use of the internet, social media and other forms of technology to harass, intimidate, humiliate and control women and girls.
And this is not just a UK phenomenon. These findings match the results of a study released in May this year that found more than 6,500 individuals had been subjected to 10,000 aggressive and misogynistic tweets over a three-week period in the UK, and 80,000 people had been targeted by 200,000 such tweets internationally.
Violent crimes against women in England and Wales reach record high
Although the violence women and girls experience online has received growing attention from the media, politicians and technology companies, what is often missing from conversations is the fact that some women are fighting back. Activists are taking action against online abuse and working towards a feminist internet. When discussing women and the internet, we need to also talk about how feminists are working to reclaim the space.
Last week, I attended the 13th international forum organised by the Association for Women's Rights in Development in Bahia. The AWIDForum brought together feminist activists from across the world to imagine feminist futures. We spent an entire day working to #ImagineAFeministInternet – and preventing and responding to violence against women and girls was just one part of what this looks like.
Sessions were led by the APC. In 2014, the APC brought together activists to develop the feminist principles of the internet. They were revised and published in August this year and cover themes of access, movements and public participation, economy, expression and agency. They state that a feminist internet is one where women and LGBT people have affordable and equal access and are able to create, design and use technologies to challenge sexism and discrimination. It is one where feminists' use of the internet is linked to resistance in other spaces and where the internet allows us to connect and demand accountability.
A feminist internet is one where online violence against women is taken seriously and addressed
In this future, there are more feminists and LGBT people in internet governance, making decisions and creating technologies, in contrast to the current male domination of this space. According to Facebook's own figures released in 2015, men made up 68% of all employees, 77% of those in senior leadership and 85% of those working in technology. Twitter's 2015 figures reveal that men make up 66% of the company, 87% of those in tech jobs and 78% of those in leadership. Google is no better – men make up 69% of all employees, 76% of those in leadership and 81% of those in technical jobs.
These three companies are indicative of the sector as a whole. There is a problem with ethnicity as well as gender, particularly when it comes to who runs companies. At Google for example, even though white people make up 57% of those in tech positions and 59% of the company overall, they hold 70% of leadership positions. This is despite women spending more time on social media than men globally – 5.88 hours compared to 4.75 hours – and the history of women in computing and technology. It was women like Ada Loveleace after all who were the pioneers of computer programming and women made up over two-thirds of those working at Bletchley Park during the second world war.
A feminist internet also enables us to challenge the ways capitalism plays out in technological spaces and underlies the drive towards profit, privatisation and control. What does it mean when the primary spaces for so many public and private interactions, including activism, are owned by corporations from one part of the world, run by mainly white men? We need to create alternative forms of economic power around technologies. Using and sharing information about free and open-source software, tools and platforms is key to this.
When women can be misogynist trolls, we need a feminist internet | Polly Toynbee
A feminist internet also allows us to harness the power of the internet to convey the realities of women's lives to the world and to ensure freedom of sexual and gender expression. It takes agency and consent seriously, designing them into thinking, planning and technology. Women need to be able to make informed decisions of what information about themselves will and will not be online, to realise their rights to privacy, digital security and full control over their data. The Snowden revelations about the extent of surveillance are a feminist issue. Surveillance has been used to police black communities for centuries and to restrict women and their movement, speech and activism. It is a real threat to women who defend human rights. This needs to change
And yes, a feminist internet is one where online violence against women is taken seriously and addressed. This year marks 10 years of the groundbreaking Take Back the Tech campaign, during which thousands of activists have come together in creative ways, online and offline, to prevent violence against women and girls. Examples include the Women of Uganda Network's SMS campaign mobilising individuals to speak out and stand against violence against women and girls, and #MyFirstHarassment, which spurred thousands of women in Brazil, Mexico and other countries to talk about sexual harassment and abuse online and with families and friends after sexual comments were made about a 12-year-old girl on the Brazilian version of Junior MasterChef.
As Zara Rahman writes, there are a number of tools today that support feminist ideas, from Are Men Talking Too Much, a handy way to check who's dominating the conversation, to Gender Decoder or Textio, which checks bias in job adverts and reveals the language that encourages different people to apply.
So the next time there is a discussion of women in tech, online bullying or misogynistic trolls, look at Take Back the Tech and GenderIT.org for ideas and inspiration, re-read the feminist principles of the internet – and join the many activists working to make a feminist internet possible.

A: You need to use == for comparison:
if(i == email)

Also, your input does not have text attribute so var i = $(this).attr('text'); will not work as expected. You're probably want to get its type instead:
var i = $(this).attr('type');

or if you want to get its text then use .text():
var i = $(this).text();

if you want to remove the trailing spaces from the text, then you can use $.trim():
var i = $.trim($(this).text());

A: Try
$('#finish').click(function () {
    var email = document.getElementById('email').value
    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: "test.xml",
        dataType: "xml",
        success: function (xml) {
            //check if any Email element has the entered email as its value
            var valid = $(xml).find('Email').filter(function () {
                return $.trim($(this).text()) == email
            }).length == 0;
            //if valid submit the data
            if (valid) {
                activity.SubmitData();
            } else {
                alert('email already registered');
            }
        }
    });
});

Scientific and technological advances are transforming lives: they are even helping poorer countries close the gap with rich countries in life expectancy. But, poorer countries still face tremendous challenges, as almost a quarter of children under five are malnourished, and 60 percent of primary school students are failing to achieve even a rudimentary education. In fact, more than 260 million children and youth in poorer countries are receiving no education at all.

Biden's brand of democracy isolates the Palestinians. By Ramona Wadi
Leave a Comment on Biden's brand of democracy isolates the Palestinians. By Ramona Wadi
Israel is reportedly concerned that US President Joe Biden will prioritize human rights over traditional allegiances in the Middle East. With a policy shift that departs from the Trump administration's belligerence, Biden is attempting to bring Washington in line with the human rights rhetoric favoured within the international arena, albeit rarely, if ever, acted upon.
The recent declassification of documents pertaining to the murder of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi has been used by Israel to claim that the Biden administration risks alienating the settler-colonial state's allies in the Middle East, particularly at a time when the Netanyahu government is still basking in the diplomatic success of the Abraham Accords.
Israel need not worry, though. While other Middle Eastern governments may indeed come under intense scrutiny and be forced to make cosmetic changes to their atrocious human rights record – releasing prominent activists from prison, for example – Israel will not be required to make any such concessions. The international community has already accomplished a great deal in marketing Israel's security narrative as indistinguishable from human rights. If Israel says it needs to defend itself, how dare the international community suggest otherwise? On the contrary, governments are eager to support Israel's killing machine and turn a blind eye to its victims. Collateral damage in the name of human rights is perfectly acceptable, it seems.
The White House has recently released the "Interim National Security Strategic Guidance". Democracy is Biden's selling point. Holding the new US administration to account on its democracy, however, is a different story. After all, anything is better than Trump. Such reasoning played into the psyche of the US electorate and political responsibility may well become a relic of the past if the Biden administration continues to be juxtaposed against Trump's, or viewed as a better option for no other reason than the president is now not Trump. Indeed, there is a risk of Biden being spared the usual scrutiny that comes with being US president, and while Israel may miss the Trump era, the current administration is certainly not averse to upholding the apartheid state's impunity.
It is more a selective process of which governments the US is going to support militarily in the name of democracy, rather than a repudiation of militarism as Biden is attempting, and failing, to convey to the world.
"In the Middle East, we will maintain our ironclad commitment to Israel's security, while seeking to further its integration with its neighbours and resuming our role as promoter of a viable two-state solution," the guidance document proclaims. There's no conflict for Israel in that, since "two states" is a defunct option that existed only to enhance its own security narrative. An "ironclad commitment" to Israel's security is undemocratic, though, no matter how much the two-state solution is given a democratic gloss through international consensus.
What Biden's brand of democracy looks like to Israel will be untenable for the Palestinian people. There is no mention of the Palestinians in the document, indicating to us all for whose benefit the two-state paradigm will be pursued. It is not about the result, but the allegiances forged through such diplomacy, which the Palestinian Authority is still deceiving itself into thinking gives it a say over which governments are supportive of the Palestinians' struggle for their land and rights. The truth is that Biden's brand of democracy isolates Palestinians, and all in the name of human rights.

To keep things simple, we will begin by using the official Bridge library example sketch from here. After this sketch is installed, you can control the Arduino's pins by entering specific URLs in a web browser. You need to set REST API access to open in the Arduino Yún configuration webinterface in order for this to work.
http://192.168.1.33/arduino/digital/13/1 will issue a digitalWrite(13,1). And since pin 13 is connected to the on-board LED, the LED is lit up.
http://192.168.1.33/arduino/digital/13/0 will call digitalWrite(13,0), and thus disable the LED.
http://192.168.1.33/arduino/analog/13/128 results in analogWrite(13,128), which will dim the on-board LED to about 50% intensity. In the following Android application, we will use this URL to dim the LED accordingly.
On the other hand, you can read the state of the Arduino's pins.
http://192.168.1.33/data/get/D13 will return a JSON string, which can be parsed to get the appropriate value.
Actually, entering the above URL will not directly read pin 13. It will simply try to return a key/value pair in the datastore with key = D13. By studying the Arduino sketch, you can see that there are various occurences of Bridge.put(key, String(value)). This is used to update the datastore on the Linux environment.
Using formatted URLs in this way is also known as Representational state transfer (REST).
The Android part is rather straight forward. We will use the above URLs to write and read values on the Arduino. Some care must be taken since this involves networking. Therefore we must use separate threads, but we'll get to that later. Let's start a new Android project by adding a SeekBar and a TextView to our main layout.
The SeekBar slider will be used to set the brightness of the on-board LED. The current value is read back from the Arduino and displayed in our TextView. Since calling the URLs will be done in a different thread, we need some form of inter thread communication. Synchronized, wait and notify come to mind, but there are – at least in my opinion – easier to grasp mechanisms. For instance an ArrayBlockingQueue which is basically a FIFO queue that can safely be filled and emptied from multiple threads. So let's create an ArrayBlockingQueue and fill it with values whenever the SeekBar slider is moved.
For networking, we will use two separate threads, one for sending values to the Arduino and one for reading values from the Arduino. Here is the code for the sending thread. Full source code including both threads is available at the bottom of this post.
Now we only need to start the threads and we're golden. A good practice is to start network threads in the Activity's onStart handler and stop them in the – you guessed right 😉 – onStop handler. After all, one usually doesn't want to waste resources when the Activity is hidden anyways.
The full Android and Arduino Yún REST example can be downloaded from here.
In the network thread on the Android side, a socket is created connecting to the Arduino. Furthermore, an output stream on that socket is opened.
Within a loop in the network thread, values are taken from the queue and written to the acquired output stream.
We are using an led spot rated at 12V DC/AC such as this one. This component can be connected directly to a 12V power supply without the need for a current limiting resistor. If you use a standalone led, you will most likely need additional circuitry to limit the current flowing through the led.
An N-Channel Mosfet such as the RFP30N06LE is used to switch the led spot on and off. If the voltage at the gate is above 2V, a current is flowing from drain to source, and thus the led is on. If the voltage at the gate is 0V, no current can flow and the led is off. In the on-state, there will be a slight voltage drop across the Mosfet, so the total voltage across the led will not be the full 12V. However, this is usually not a problem, since the led will still work well with lower voltages (even with only 9V the led spot will shine brightly).
By connecting a PWM output to the Mosfet gate, it is possible to dim the led. What happens is that the led is turned on and off many times per second (default Arduino PWM frequency is around 500Hz).
Optionally a pull-down resistor could be connected between Gate and Source. This will make sure that the led is off when the Arduino is disconnected. It is also a good idea to mount a heatsink to the Mosfet.
Here are again all the source files for download.
Really great source code, I had a lot of troubles with sockets and this sample works like a charm and really easy to understand.
I had a problem when trying to use the app with the Yun through the Wifi as mentioned but the Yun didn't respond at all although it worked well with the HTTP. Can you please help?
Sir , i am doing an android home automation project ..i would like to know is it possible for android to communicate with raspberry pi(acting as server) which is connected to PIC controller (through wi-fi) which is in turn connected to a devices.
Would be cool to combine this with MySenosrs which uses the nRF24L01 to create a mesh-network with arduino (or raspberry) as a Gateway, Relays and Sensors.
Could you post the apk of the two examples. so I can install them on my android Phone. I am not so good in eclipse/java.
Awesome write up and tutorial! And thank you for the code as well.
Is there something in your sketch that could be causing this?
to figure out how the interface works.
Can you please post the apk file for the Android application. Becouse I can't produce my own applications.
Sorry for not replying earlier. Posting the APK does not really make a lot of sense, since the Arduino's IP address is hardcoded in the source code. The reason for this is that you probably want to be connected to your Wifi with your Android smartphone, so that you can use the internet as is, and also have the Arduino in the same Wifi network. Depending on your Wifi router, the IP address is different of course (a better approach would be to let the user enter the Arduino's IP address within the Android application).
Depending on your operating system, you may need to install drivers for the USB connection to work. Also make sure, you have ADB debugging enabled on your Android device.
please teach me how to send data from arduino yun to adroid using websocket.
nice code!! I am doing something similar as the last (socket style) code you explained.
In my project however I also want to write some data back to the android device, but I can't get it working.I can write to the arduino, and than send a reply, but I want to be able to write and read at both sides, at any time.
First of all, thanks for sharing your project.
I can´t Open the ".tar" files that you up here.
Can you please tell me how I can handle such files?
It's great to see that I am not the only one who is crazy about such crazy things like LED bulb management via arduino!
I wonder if those bulbs have any driver inside or they are as simple as just 4x1W power LEDs placed on a heatsink put into MR16 lampholder?
It is interesting because in case of regular LED bulbs with voltage 220V AC they are always have a LED driver inside the lampholder which prevents using PWM technique properly, as I understand.
Super! Thanks a lot for sharing your work. Referring to your code, I created an Android app that controls 4 devices on different I/O pins of Yun.


How Do You Use Resolver?
Making complaints can be difficult.
The complaints process for many companies and organisations can be complicated and a lot of people give up or don't even try at all. This is why Resolver was created.
Resolver is a free complaint tool that allows you to make a complaint to a wide range of companies, banks, utility providers, public bodies and more. It was created in association with Martin Lewis at Money Saving Expert.
Resolver allows you to identify your issue, helps you to draft a complaint letter, sends it to the organisation and you can also monitor the progress of your complaint through Resolver as well.
If you are still unhappy with the response you can escalate your complaint to an ombudsman or complaints body through Resolver.
One of the main benefits of using Resolver is that it informs you of your rights based on the issue you have chosen. This allows you to create better and more effective letters of complaint using the 70,000 different templates that Resolver has on their system. These templates have been checked by Resolver's legal team.
Resolver is very easy to use and you can make a complaint through your desktop, laptop, tablet or even your smartphone.
You simply search for the organisation you want to make a complaint to, choose your issue and then fill out a simple form which will then draft a letter which you can review and then send to the company. You also have the chance to upload any documents or evidence to support your complaint if you want.
The organisation will respond through Resolver and you can escalate your complaint through the Resolver system.
Yes, Resolver is completely free.
You do need to create an account to use Resolver and this only takes a few minutes to set up.
Resolver doesn't charge to use their service and they don't take any commission or percentage of money that you may receive as a result of your complaint.
You can find out more about Resolver by visiting their website.


(P1) Yahoo is preparing to lead an investment round in Snapchat that values the ephemeral messaging startup at an eye-popping $10 billion, according to a report by the Wall Street Journal.
(P2) While you catch your breath from the sheer inanity of this news, let me point out that this is the same round that was previously rumored to be led by Alibaba, and was recently revealed to include minority participation by Kleiner Perkins (at a meager $20 million for 0.2 percent). But while you can argue about the merits of betting that Snapchat will one day deliver a meaningful return on this 11-figure valuation – anything but a sure thing – there is no universe in which it makes sense for Yahoo to be making that bet today.
(P3) First of all, Yahoo is surely getting a minority stake in Snapchat, likely in the single-digit percentages – unless it's investing more than $1 billion, which if that's the case god bless 'em. This means that the company can't consolidate any future revenues (Snapchat doesn't generate any revenue currently) from this holding and will hardly have any real inside track on a future acquisition of the company – as if Yahoo could afford it. In other words, this is purely a venture capital-style financial "bet" by Mayer, that Snapchat will be Yahoo's next Alibaba, or put another way, an investment that leaves the company flush with cash upon an eventual liquidity event.
(P4) But the fact of the matter is, Yahoo doesn't have the luxury of making long-term growth-equity bets at this point. The aging company needs to find ways – any way – to grow revenue and profitability, something it hasn't managed to do in nearly seven years.
(P5) When Yahoo decided to invest $1 billion to acquire 40 percent of a then up-and-coming Chinese ecommerce company in August 2005, the US company had the luxury of soaring revenues in its core business. Jerry Yang, the company's founder who was still CEO at the time, was coming off a year in which Yahoo more than doubled its revenue from $1.63 billion to $3.57 billion, and was two-thirds of the way through a year in which those revenues would grow by another 47 percent to $5.25 billion. In other words, the company could afford to look externally for longer term growth opportunities because it had its own financial house in order. Similarly, when Microsoft invested $240 million for 1.6 percent of Facebook in 2007, Steve Ballmer's company was literally on top of the technology world.
(P6) Marissa Mayer's Yahoo of today? Not so much.
(P7) To be fair, the Yahoo Mayer inherited two years ago was dysfunctional, to put it kindly. And she's done more than many thought possible to boost morale and convince outside observers that a turnaround might at least be possible. But the one thing Mayer hasn't done is generate any sort of meaningful revenue growth. And judging by the recent rise in activist shareholder challenges, her grace period has all but run out.
(P8) Yahoo, with its $40.8 billion market cap, isn't that much more valuable than Snapchat. As of June 30, it had a total of $1.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents and another $3 billion in other "current assets" on its balance sheet. The company recently took in an additional $9 billion through the sale of a portion of its holding in Alibaba, but has promised to return at least half of that sum to shareholders. (It's also lost the very life raft that has been keeping its otherwise unattractive stock afloat.) That leaves Yahoo with, at best, $8.6 billion in cash and current assets to play with.
(P9) That's not exactly a ton of cash that it can afford to be spending real money on non-revenue generating investments. Then again, ValleyWag reports that Yahoo, like Kleiner could be investing just $20 million in this Snapchat round, despite being the lead investor, in which case, what's the point? Adding insult to injury, activists like Starboard Value's Jeff Smith are insisting that Yahoo stop making acquisitions, find ways to cut costs, return more capital to shareholders, and merge with an equally dysfunctional AOL.
(P10) Put simply, Wall Street will have Mayer's head if she goes through with this Snapchat deal. And if she somehow gets out unscathed, she might want to have her head examined for even considering it.
(P11) Mayer should also consider that Facebook and Google, both of which were rumored to be bidding to acquire Snapchat last year at valuations closer to the $3 billion to $4 billion level, are much better positioned financially to complete for this deal but appear absent from the syndicate. They say if you look around the table and you can't identify the fool, you're it. Investing in Snapchat at a $10 billion valuation may or may not prove to be foolish. But for Yahoo, which whether Mayer likes it or not remains a struggling Internet portal with pissed off shareholders, that's the only way this ends.

Barack Obama, Liar in Chief | can i just finish my waffle?
← Did Roberts cave to media pressure and the Bully 'Bama?
Now that the Supreme Court has affirmed that Barack Obama is a liar by ruling that Odamnacare is a tax, after he has gone around the country and on national tv and told the Amerian people it was not a tax, and it's time to take a look at how his entire life is a lie. He can't seem to tell the truth about anything.
Barack Obama's America is eerily reminiscent of "The Emperor's New Clothes," where almost everybody sees the truth about their leader but is afraid to say it out loud.
But as documented in the scorching July issue of WND's monthly Whistleblower magazine – titled "WHY OBAMA LIES" – America has never seen a chief executive misrepresent the truth as deliberately, recklessly and effortlessly as this one.

Hyper-Reality Video: When AR Goes Overboard, Like Ads
By JC Torres/May 20, 2016 6:30 am EST
Augmented reality and virtual reality are hip and cool right now, mostly because they are relatively new to consumers and present a lot of wonderful possibilities. But like any technology, the computers and the Internet, they do come with their own set of dangers, opening them up to abuse by less than conscientious individuals. For now, given how rare and expensive these technologies are, especially augmented reality, the threat level is very, very low. But can you imagine future where synthetic reality takes over real reality? Designer Keiichi Matsuda has and his vision, narrated in the video "Hyper-Reality", is rather frightening.
It starts out innocently enough, or so you thought. You see two real hands playing what looks like a virtual game. It's all fine and dandy until later on she swipes that layer of virtual reality away to reveal a reality that isn't that much different. You see neon colored text and images everywhere, floating like ghosts loosely attached to surfaces and people's heads. The act of simply getting off a bus is almost as dangerous as navigating Lara Croft out of a Tomb Raider maze.
This is augmented reality gone totally wrong.
It might sound a bit comical at first really. You're almost sure it's never going to happen. But those who remember an age where ads wrecked havok over the Web might find some similarities here. There are some advantages to AR based signs, admittedly. It requires fewer resources, mostly just some QR codes or tags. And the whole field of vision is your canvas, which is almost near infinite compared to, say, a computer screen. On the flip side, after a few minutes of AR-filled scenes, the real, AR-less world suddenly looks dead and boring.
Things, however, take a wrong turn when you start considering the human factor. Hacking (really breaking and entering) and theft has never gone out of fashion, from the age of the Greeks to today. It becomes even more frightening, however, when you imagine human life becoming totally dependent on things like AR and points.
The video ends in a sort of comedy-tragedy duality, depending on your interpretation of the events. It is, admittedly, an extreme interpretation of the future based on current trends, both in technology and society. It is, however, still a possible future, one that most will probably hope never comes to pass. Unless, perhaps, if you were in the advertising biz.


Those more attentive of you might have noticed that in the last few days I haven't been very active online. Not many posts, twits and whatnot. The reason is that I've been preparing to move to a new flat down to the road and finally this long weekend we went through the hellish task of renovating and moving.
I don't have internet anymore.
My previous landlord has dissapeared from the face of the earth with 1k of my deposit.
I don't have a place to put my PC anymore.
All in all, some good fun. I just don't want to be moving for the next 10 years.
« Can market exchange create new value?
I don't think so, because when you're moving someone else, nobody makes you stay for the whole gruesome procedure. Most people who helped us stayed for 1 day out of four and we were exteremely fortunate to have some good friends who stayed for 2 days (and overtime – I bow before their kindness).
But when you're moving youself, then you have to face the brunt of the workload.
Valid point. I must concede that you are right.
It's been about six years now since we moved last. I dread having to move again as we moved from a one bedroom apartment into a three bedroom house and we've accumulated quite a bit more stuff since then. Ugh.


This search will probably take you back to a county or parish somewhere in the South. From 1790 until 1900, 90 percent of African-Americans lived in the South, mostly in rural areas. For many ex-slaves, the migration northeast, north and west didn't begin until after 1900. If your ancestors were in the North in 1870, it's possible they were freed prior to the war. Even so, you'll probably have to search for a slaveholder since most free blacks were slaves at some point. Records documenting their freedom were usually recorded in county courthouses in probate or deed records. If you can't find your ancestors in the 1870 census, it's likely they lived in the same state, county and community in 1880. So make 1880 your focus instead.
Look carefully at the community where your ancestors lived in 1870. Ask: Who were your ancestors' neighbors? How old were your ancestors and their neighbors? Where were they born? Are there others in the neighborhood with the same surname as your ancestors? Do neighboring families have any surnames in common with your ancestors? Do the ages of your ancestor's children indicate they were a family before the Civil War? Your answers will help determine if those living in the neighborhood are related or connected in other ways.
Though your ancestors' surnames were crucial in recent records, the key to identifying them in your pre-Civil War search will be their first names. Pay close attention to the given names of your ancestors' family as well as those of their neighbors. Compare the names of suspected ancestors you find in any slave documents with those living in the neighborhood in 1870. This may be the only way to establish that they are one and the same. Slaveholders rarely identified slaves by their formal given names in records; instead they used nicknames. So consider the possible variations of names that may have been used to identify an ancestor. My ancestor James Humphreys, for example, would always be listed as "Jim," Jane Green as "Jenny," Jesse Humphreys as "Jess," Martill as "Till" and Elizabeth Weathersby as "Betsy." Such a thorough and complete review of the 1870 census may reveal the identity of several new and previously unknown generations.
