A Memory-Efficient Doubly Linked List
In the quest to make small devices cost effective, manufacturers often need to think about reducing the memory size. One option is to find alternative implementations of the abstract data types (ADTs) we are used to for our day-to-day implementations. One such ADT is a doubly linked list structure.
In this article, I present a conventional implementation and an alternative implementation of the doubly linked list ADT, with insertion, traversal and deletion operations. I also provide the time and memory measurements of each to compare the pros and cons. The alternative implementation is based on pointer distance, so I call it the pointer distance implementation for this discussion. Each node would carry only one pointer field to traverse the list back and forth. In a conventional implementation, we need to keep a forward pointer to the next item on the list and a backward pointer to the previous item. The overhead is 66% for a conventional node and 50% for the pointer distance implementation. If we use multidimensional doubly linked lists, such as a dynamic grid, the savings would be even greater.
A detailed discussion of the conventional implementation of doubly linked lists is not offered here, because they are discussed in almost every data structure and algorithm book. The conventional and the distance pointer implementations are even used in the same fashion to have comparable memory and time usage statistics.
We define a node of pointer distance implementation like this:
typedef int T; typedef struct listNode{ T elm; struct listNode * ptrdiff; };
The ptrdiff pointer field holds the difference between the pointer to the next node and the pointer to the previous node. Pointer difference is captured by using exclusive OR. Any instance of such a list has a StartNode and an EndNode. StartNode points to the head of the list, and EndNode points to the tail of the list. By definition, the previous node of the StartNode is a NULL node; the next node of the EndNode also is a NULL node. For a singleton list, both the previous node and next node are NULL nodes, so the ptrdiff field holds the NULL pointer. In a two-node list, the previous node to the StartNode is NULL and the next node is the EndNode. The ptrdiff of the StartNode is the exclusive OR of EndNode and NULL node: EndNode. And, the ptrdiff of the EndNode is StartNode.
The insertion and deletion of a specific node depends on traversal. We need only one simple routine to traverse back and forth. If we provide the StartNode as an argument and because the previous node is NULL, our direction of traversal implicitly is defined to be left to right. On the other hand, if we provide the EndNode as an argument, the implicitly defined direction of traversal is right to left. The present implementation does not support traversal from the middle of the list, but it should be an easy enhancement. The NextNode is defined as follows:
typedef listNode * plistNode; plistNode NextNode( plistNode pNode, plistNode pPrevNode){ return ((plistNode) ((int) pNode->ptrdiff ^ ( int)pPrevNode) ); }
Given an element, we keep the pointer difference of the element by exclusive ORing of the next node and previous node. Therefore, if we perform another exclusive OR with the previous node, we get the pointer to the next node.
Given a new node and the element of an existing node, we would like to insert the new node after the first node in the direction of traversal that has the given element (Listing 1). Inserting a node in an existing doubly linked list requires pointer fixing of three nodes: the current node, the next node of the current node and the new node. When we provide the element of the last node as an argument, this insertion degenerates into insertion at the end of the list. We build the list this way to obtain our timing statistics. If the InsertAfter() routine does not find the given element, it would not insert the new element.
Listing 1. Function to Insert a New Node
void insertAfter(plistNode pNew, T theElm) { plistNode pPrev, pCurrent, pNext; pPrev = NULL; pCurrent = pStart; while (pCurrent) { pNext = NextNode(pCurrent, pPrev); if (pCurrent->elm == theElm) { /* traversal is done */ if (pNext) { /* fix the existing next node */ pNext->ptrdiff = (plistNode) ((int) pNext->ptrdiff ^ (int) pCurrent ^ (int) pNew); /* fix the current node */ pCurrent->ptrdiff = (plistNode) ((int) pNew ^ (int) pNext ^ (int) pCurrent->ptrdiff); /* fix the new node */ pNew->ptrdiff = (plistNode) ((int) pCurrent ^ (int) pNext); break; } pPrev = pCurrent; pCurrent = pNext; } }
First, we traverse the list up to the node containing the given element by using the NextNode() routine. If we find it, we then place the node after this found node. Because the next node has pointer difference, we dissolve it by exclusive ORing with the found node. Next, we do exclusive ORing with the new node, as the new node would be its previous node. Fixing the current node by following the same logic, we first dissolve the pointer difference by exclusive ORing with the next current node. We then do another exclusive ORing with the new node, which provides us with the correct pointer difference. Finally, since the new node would sit between the found current node and the next node, we get the pointer difference of it by exclusively ORing them.
Worst. Linked List. Ever.
Worst. Linked List. Ever.
This is an interesting
This is an interesting article. A criteria of a linked list is that any node by be unlinked from the list in O(1). Exclusive-or method requires history to move ahead similar to how parity is calculated. Thus, we must call this a memory efficient queue instead. The memory efficient queue is a nice technique to use in embedded systems.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Man enters plea in Millcreek bank heist
A Millcreek Township man pleaded guilty this morning in Erie County Court to charges he robbed a Millcreek Township bank in March.
Aaron T. Palmer, 33, pleaded guilty as charged to one count each of robbery and theft.
With the plea, Palmer admitted he used a note demanding money to steal $1,195 on March 6 from the Huntington Bank branch at 5805 Peach St.
The charges carry a maximum sentence of 15 years in prison and a $35,000 fine.
As part of the plea, Palmer agreed to pay restitution.
Judge John Garhart accepted the plea.
Police said they found evidence linking Palmer to the crime in clothing an eyewitness saw a man throw into a dumpster at the nearby Granada Apartments after the robbery. Palmer later admitted to committing the robbery when he was interviewed by investigators, police said.

That was beautiful. And completely shocking; never would I expect prose to come from something as fluffy as Lazytown. I always love when I find pieces of fiction that completely blind-side me when it comes to quality and content. Honestly, brilliant job. :)
| geneva chapter 1 . 12/11/2008
So well written! I love this! So very very good!
| strangeseraph chapter 1 . 11/6/2008
Oh I love this! I'm so new to the fandom that I'm still finding plenty of episodes to watch that I never have yet, and seeing all the innuendo between SportaRobbie in all of them while helplessly looking for screen caps of the pair together.
This fic is exactly how I see Robbie! Thanks for giving me this fic, I may now be inspired to write my own.
(Also, I've added it to my favorites, and I don't take the time to favorite things very often, since more often then not I'm writing, not reading, but this I felt deserved a pause to review.)

Aw... this made me grin :D It's a bit dense to be Lazytown fic, but it's still sweet!

well, at least Kitty got to read it, which kind of helps ease her mind at having written me a SportaRobbie for Christmas this year.
yay for slash.

This is FABULOUS. A thoughtful, insightful monologue that is totally in character, utterly believable and very well-written.
And the last paragraph is just...beautiful. Which is not a word that gets used often about this pairing, but seriously, it is. How lovely to find a story that makes it romantic...
Do more. Please!

Excellent service from the sales person in the store to the outstanding delivery people. I wondered how they delivery people could get my old dryer down from upstairs in a townhouse, so 3 flights of stairs. And how would they get the new one upstairs around 2 corners where the stairs reversed directions. Well, these experts did it in a seemingly effortless manner, although I know that dryer must be awkward and heavy! They maneuvered the dryer around the tight corners up the narrow stairs without disturbing even the position of a picture on the wall and I have lots of pictures along the stairs! Not one bump into the wall! And I did not have to lift up any throw rugs or do anything to rearrange my house. They were polite and very professional, removing their shoes. And the total time at my house was so short! They called in the morning and again when on their way. I am so impressed with the ease of the delivery, the time it took, and no disturbance to my house.

Cavalia Inc. is an entertainment company that specializes in the creation, production and touring of shows for audiences of all ages. Its shows display equestrian and acrobatic techniques such as Trick Riding, Vaulting, Haute École, Pas De Deux, and unbridled displays. So far, Cavalia has produced two shows: Cavalia: A Magical Encounter Between Human and Horse, and Odysseo.

Name origin[edit]
Cavalia is a fabricated word, inspired by the Spanish and French words for horse (caballo and cheval) and the English word cavalier.
Created in 2003 by Normand Latourelle under the name of "Voltige",[1] the very first show was held in Shawinigan, Quebec. The large-scale multimedia performance the company delivers is often compared to Cirque du Soleil, of which he was one of the four original co-founders as well as Managing Director and Executive Vice-President from 1985 to 1990. Apart from Latourelle's history, Cavalia has no affiliation with Cirque du Soleil and remains a separate entity. The company's original production, Cavalia: A Magical Encounter Between Human and Horse, has been touring since 2003 and has reached over 4 Million spectators across North America, Europe and Australia through more than 2,200 performances (as of September 2013).[2] Odysseo, Cavalia's newest show, premiered in October 2011 in Laval, Quebec.
In May 2009, the Government of Canada provided Cavalia with a $4-million loan to Cavalia Inc. to develop new productions and construct a horse-training facility in Sutton, Quebec.[3]
First Production: Cavalia, A Magical Encounter Between Human and Horse[edit]
The first show is a tribute to the relationship between humans and horses throughout history. It is described as an equestrian ballet, it expresses a "dream of freedom, cooperation and harmony".[4] Riders, acrobats, dancers and musicians share the stage with horses. A Magical Encounter Between Human and Horse features about 50 horses, 5 musicians and 45 artists including riders, aerialists, and acrobats.[2]
Horses used in production[edit]
Many of the horses are Lusitanos, and the remainder are Andalusian (PRE), Canadian Horses, American Quarter Horses, Paint horses, Belgians, Percherons, Arabians, and Appaloosas. The show's horses were originally from Canada, France, Spain, and the United States.[5] These horses eat 40 bales of hay per day; they consume 900 kg (1980 lb) of grain and 20 kg (44 lb) (of what?)
Human performers[edit]
The show also features over 20 human stars from Canada, France, Kyrgyzstan, United States, Australia, Mexico, and Morocco.
About the White Big Top[edit]
- 150 people work for the tent raising and site preparation.
- The installation lasts 12 days, while the removal is completed in three days.
- The tent is 30 metres high, the equivalent height of a 10-story building.
- 6635 m2 of fabric is used to create the marquee that extends over an area of 2 440m2.
- A screen of 70 metres serves as a backdrop for projections and multimedia effects.
- The stage is 50 metres in width, the length of an Olympic pool.
- 2,500 tons of sand, earth and gravel, the equivalent of 100 trucks, are used to create the scene.
- The Big Top can accommodate up to 2 000 spectators.
Cavalia's village includes nine tents[edit]
- the White Big Top,
- the Rendezvous VIP Tent,
- the Entrance Tents,
- two Artistic Tents,
- two Warming Tents,
- the Stable and
- the Staff Cafeteria.[6]
Second Production: Odysseo[edit]
Odysseo was launched in 2011, and 900,000 people so far have watched the show.[7] Cavalia summarizes the show as depicting "horses and humans leaving together to meet a world between dream and reality by traveling through the great wonders that nature has offered, deserts, waterfalls, canyons and glaciers."[8] This second show portrays equestrian arts, acrobatics, music, multimedia projections and special effects under one Big Top. It features some 300 different costumes. Non-riders do acrobatics and sing west African songs. [9]
Odysseo's key players[edit]
- Normand Latourelle: President and Artistic Director
- Wayne Fowkes: Director
- Guillaume Lord: Set Design
- Geodezik: Visual Design
- Alain Lortie: Lighting Design
- George Lévesque and Michèle Hamel: Costumes
- Darren Charles and Alain Gauthier: choreography
- Mathieu Roy and Elsie Morin : Acrobatic Number Conception[10]
The Big Top[edit]
Like the first production's Big Top, Odysseo's tent was designed specifically for the needs of the show and the vision of its creators. It is two and a quarter times bigger than the first one and is (as of September 2013) the largest touring tent in the world.[11]
The exterior[edit]
- consists of four poles, four arches and 2.1 square miles of canvas;
- is 38 meters high;
- the structure measures 115 metres long and 65 metres wide;
- it occupies a surface area which extends over 120 metres in length and 95 metres wide.[12]
The interior[edit]
- hosts a scene of more than 2500 square metres;
- is composed of 6,000 tons of rock, earth and sand;
- has a seating capacity of 2290 people.[13]
Assembly and transport[edit]
- Installation requires 40 motors and a mechanical crane;
- Each arch is composed of eight 9-meter-long sections.
- The arches rise to 27 meters and are 62 meters long;
- the painting is composed of 16 pieces;

Update: Black Friday deals have started to leak!
Click here to see all of our roundups of the best Black Friday deals we've seen so far — once you've read about what you shouldn't buy first, of course.
Make no mistake: Black Friday will be full of killer deals. But while stellar sales on wine and cars may surprise and delight you, there are some items that only see minor discounts — or no discounts at all. Black Friday sales are time-sensitive, so wasting precious minutes looking for a deal that may not appear could make you miss a killer doorbuster.
In the interest of keeping you on track, we've rounded up 10 things that consistently under-perform during Black Friday, or just get better shortly thereafter. Whether it's furniture deals you should have grabbed in the summer or gift cards that'll be cheaper in December, read on to discover the items that Black Friday forgot.
Then, consider signing up for the DealNews Select newsletter so you know what deals are worth buying this Black Friday.
Up until now, smartphones were a great buy on Black Friday, with many flagship Android phones dropping to $0 with a 2-year contract; even iPhones got in on the discounting frenzy! However, in the last year, three of the big carriers have shifted away from subsidized phone plans, so phone deals this year will be unprecedented. Since this is unknown territory, we're skeptical that the deals will be as good this year.
SEE ALSO: Black Friday Smartphones: 7 Ways Deals Will Be Different This Year
Plus, in the past, Black Friday-caliber phone deals continued into December, so it might be wise to wait and see what's in store for phones before hopping on a deal this Black Friday.
Home & Patio Furniture
It's rare for a product category to go almost completely ignored on Black Friday, but such is the case with furniture. In fact, many high-end furniture shops don't even hold Black Friday sales. This is because most retailers heavily discount these items in the warmer months, with home furniture seeing a huge spike in deals in July and August, and patio furniture clearance sales dominating in August and September.
Airfare & Vacation Packages
Despite the fact that hotel sites offer superior discounts during Black Friday, this just isn't the best time to book a flight or plan a vacation. Over the past several years, Black Friday rates for airfare and vacations were mostly indistinguishable from those we saw throughout the rest of the year. Plus, January 2015 had more Editors' Choice deals than Black Friday, so it might be wise to plan a vacation in the new year instead of November.
Gift Cards
It's not at all uncommon to find gift card deals during Black Friday, but this is one of those items where a little patience goes a long way. Discounted gift cards practically rain from the sky in December, especially those from iTunes. And over the last few years, we have seen so many gift card deals in December, we had to publish a weekly feature just to keep track of them all.
Gaming Laptops and Ultraportables
The Black Friday season makes November the best month of the year for buying a laptop — unless you're in the market for a real powerhouse. High-performance machines that boast a powerful CPU like Intel's Core i7 models, or that feature a super-slim build, actually see better prices during the summer back-to-school sales. July and September tend to be the standout months for these rigs, with deals that are 9% cheaper (about $50 on average) than even November's best deals.
Chocolates & Flowers
It is perhaps unsurprising that gifts like chocolates and flowers don't see much in the way of deals during Black Friday. The perishable nature of these treats makes them better suited for purchase close to a gift-giving holiday. We did see a few deals on these items during Black Friday 2014, but better deals on Godiva, Lindt, Ghirardelli, and 1-800-Flowers came earlier in November or later in December.
Newly-Developed, High-End Tech
If you had your hopes set on one of the much-hyped devices to debut from Microsoft or Apple recently, you might be disappointed when looking for Black Friday deals. The iPad Pro and Surface Book are completely new product categories, and historically, such items won't see deals until they near the mid-point of their life cycle. Since neither of them will be available until late October or November, it's unlikely they'll see discounts on their first Black Friday.
SEE ALSO: Here's When Apple's New iPads Will Go on Sale
This also applies to the latest consumer virtual reality devices. Want a new headset from Oculus or Samsung? This technology hasn't quite gone mainstream yet, and deals will be limited at best.
Second-Hand Gaming Consoles
Second-hand consoles could be a red herring for dealhunters this year. We're predicting that you could grab a used or refurbished Xbox One or PS4 for $250 on the shopping holiday, but when you can get a brand-new gaming console bundle for $300, why would you opt for a used one? Along the same lines, the PS Vita will drop to $150 for a new unit, or $100 for a refurb, while the Wii U could hit $225 new, or $180 for a refurb. While second-hand consoles will still offer savings this Black Friday, you have to wonder if it's even worth it when there are such great deals on new units.
The Roku 4
This recently-announced media streamer will succeed the Roku 3, which didn't see any deals at all during its first Black Friday. In fact, the Roku 3 saw deals after Black Friday, in December and January. If the Roku 4 follows in its predecessor's footsteps, then shoppers will likely have to wait until December for a deal.
Of course, the competition is more fierce this year, with a new Apple TV and Fire TV in the mix. So if there are deals on the Roku 4, then expect modest discounts of $10 to $15 off, or deals that include a gift card.
Winter Gear
Here's a category that actually sees a lot of discounts during Black Friday, but is nevertheless worth passing up. As we previously noted, excellent sitewide coupons will lead to some serious discounts on all kinds of apparel, including in-season coats, boots, and more. However, if you can wait, then you'll see the best deals on these items during winter clearance sales in January, February, and even March.
Welcome Back to Black Friday!
A lot can change in a year, and a few notable underperformers from 2014's list are now back in Black Friday's good graces. Here are a few things we advised against buying last Black Friday that we're now giving the green light.
Designer Clothes: Luxury brands used to abstain from Black Friday sales, but the shopping holiday has become more democratic of late, especially since many such brands now have outlet stores. A few outlets you can expect to participate in Black Friday sales are Last Call by Neiman Marcus, Barneys Warehouse, and Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH.
Brand Name Smart TVs: HDTV deals are the meat-and-potatoes of Black Friday sales, but we had previously advised against buying brand name smart TVs, from manufacturers like Samsung and LG. Baked-in Internet capabilities were still a relatively new technology, so big brands didn't need to discount these pricey Smart sets. But now, a large portion of Black Friday TV deals will be "smart" or have a 4K resolution.
Latest Fire Tablets: Last year, we said Amazon never discounts (or barely discounts) its latest Fire tablet. And we were right; but, Amazon resellers stepped up their game. The Best Buy Black Friday sale knocked $20 off the then-new HD 6 for a price of $80. This year, Amazon has a new $50 Fire tablet, so be on the lookout for good deals — just not from Amazon necessarily.
Readers, have we dashed your Black Friday dreams? Or are you still determined to find an amazing airfare deal on Thanksgiving and grab a fistful of gift cards from Cyber Monday deals? Share your shopping strategies in the comments below!

Burma's Foreign Affairs Ministry on Saturday rebuked a critical US Embassy statement on the ongoing Kachin conflict, saying that it "strongly objects and rejects" the Embassy's remarks on the war. It also took issue with the US Embassy for continuing to call the country Burma and not Myanmar, as the government prefers.
On Thursday, the US Embassy in Rangoon said it was "deeply concerned" about the Kachin conflict and noted that despite a government announcement of a unilateral ceasefire on Jan. 19 "media and NGO reports indicate that the Burmese Army continues a military offensive" against Kachin rebels near Laiza.
The Embassy called for ceasefire talks and for UN access to displaced Kachin civilians.
The Burmese Foreign Affairs Ministry said in a statement in the state-run newspaper The New Light of Myanmar on Saturday that it "strongly objects and rejects" the conclusion that the Burmese army had continued its offensive after Jan. 19.
It said the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) had been to solely to blame for the violence, as the Burmese army had laid down its weapons after Jan. 19 but was forced to react militarily against unrelenting KIA guerrilla attacks.
"The [US] press release could cause misunderstanding in the international community as it … elaborates the events as if only the Myanmar Government and the Tatmadaw launched the offensive," the ministry said, adding that the KIA had also failed to respond to government invitations to hold peace talks.
On Jan. 19, one day before the government was scheduled to meet with foreign donor countries, Naypyidaw announced a unilateral ceasefire. However, on Jan. 20 and 21, The Irrawaddy observed repeated government attacks on a KIA-held mountaintop post.
Fighting between the Burmese army and the KIA began in June 2011 and escalated in late December, when the government began launching airstrikes on the lightly armed rebels.
The Burmese Foreign Ministry on Saturday also criticized the US Embassy's use of the name Burma, saying the government "strongly objects the usage of the words 'Burma', 'Burmese government' and 'Burmese Army'."
Burma's former military government renamed the country Myanmar soon after it seized power in 1988, but did so without consulting the population. For this reason, the US and NLD leader Aung San Suu Kyi mostly continue to call the country Burma.
The term " Burma " still sounds better and familiar, if the government of Burma likes the country to be called Myanmar, then the people of Burma and the language of Burma should be Myanmarese or Myanmanese or something like that. Everything country has its own name in English term and its own language term, Burma was colonized by The Great Britain and the country was named Burma in English not in Myanmarese and it should always be BURMA NOT MYANMAR in terms of English.
I agree with you. Idiot generals try to invent their own English like "Myanmars". What is that. If Myanmar is the name of the country, Myanmarese might be a suitable word for Myanmar's people or Myanmar's language. The generals need to rewrite their own Dictionary.
Excuse me, only people who had graduated from the Myanmar government schools would say that "If Burma was changed to Myanmar, the language and the people will be Myanmarmese, Myanmarese or Myanmanese.."! The word Myanmar was the real name, but when the British took over, they could not pronounce it clearly, and that was why the country's name was changed to Burma… Its a complete insult to the nationalities… The glorious name of a country with a prideful meaning was changed into a meaningless word just because they can't pronounce it… So, yes the international communities should respect the wish of our government to change the name Burma into Myanmar… And Miss please reread our history and see it for yourself whether our government has a right to change our country's name… I don't care whether Miss Aung San Suu Kyi call it Myanmar or Burma…
Maybe, you are the only one who has education from Than Shwe's school. The rest of us graduated from various Universities from America, Europe and Australia.
The military junta have to keep the ethnic conflicts alive to use it as an excuse to hold on to power.The Kachins have had a ceasefire with the central government for a very long time.They arrogantly allowed the Chinese Government to build the Myitsone Dam against all opposition. They believe that the Burmese are a master race and as such must keep the Kachins well under control. The best way they know to control the situation is to eliminate the Kachins by bombing then out of existance. Most importantly,the junta with their "pretend" Parliment is controlled unopposed by military madmen.They won office by stealth and the sooner we have a free and fair election the truth will prevail.That is of course if the military allows the results to stand. There is of course the matter of crimes against humanity which must be resolved with charges being laid against The"hero" General Khin Nyunt and his perdecessors. The matter was pushed aside for the betterment of the country by the international community. The junta have the audacity to censure The USA for recognising the name Burma as the name Myanma is attributed to hiding the repression of the Burmese people by the likes of the madman General Ne Win and his succession of madmen who called themselves the Tatmadaw,who incidentally are supposed to protect all peoples that live in the country called Burma.Let the people decide on the name not military criminals.Maybe they should move to the domain of that other madman Assad or whatever he's been called or the other maniac in North Korea who deliberately starves his people just to stay in power,He's grear friends with the junta,as the saying goes"birds of a feather flock together". History knows the Berlin Wall had to fall as a matter of time.Its high time the junta stop the murder immediately and let the people decide.
The Kachins did not talk about ceasefire so they did not violate or break any promise or declaration. The Myanmarese junta is the one who said one thing today and doing different thing tomorrow. Shamelessly, the Myanmarese government rebukes the US government for condemning their assault on the Kachins. The Kachins are on their own lands. They have no place to withdraw. The Myanmarese troops need to withdraw because they are the ones who intruded the Kachinland. We do not need to pass kindergarten to understand who is right and who is wrong on this war. The Myanmarese are the aggressors. Period. Thein Sein must be charged for war crime and crimes against humanities.
If you seize a bone from the dog' mouth, it will certainly bite you. The military regime enjoys living in lawlessness. Even if every rebel groups in Burma accept military peace talk, the regime should resort to other way of igniting killing field as they can't live in peaceful society anymore. They are possessed wholly by evils. The democracy they introduce is just painted on the cover but rotten wholly inside with the same load of dump generals. The Myanmarese military regime has been torturing and cheating it own people for 48 years ( 1962-2010 ) and now cheating the wholly world again by impersonating themselves as democratic reformers for the past two years. The truth can not live in the heart of the wicked. The warring and killing of innocent civilians doesn't surprise me anymore because the military regime are choking out the freedom they ostensibly consumed.
What's people's freedom is the Myanmar military's poison.
Usage of the term "Myanmar" by someone not immediately identifying with the country's government would show detachment from what is a name.
One could then focus on shaping the underlying referent(s).
I mean, why argue about Burma if arguing about Myanmar could be more effective?

HB9Q, DX group HB9CRQ, was founded mid 1998 by HB9CRQ (Dan, also KT6Q) and HB9COG, Sam. Our QTH is JN47cg in the city of Reinach in the canton Aargau. We are 520m above sea-level.
The main purpose of HB9Q is to operate DX from 144 MHz to 10450 MHz by sharing HB9CRQ's shack and equipment.
During September of 1998, after 19 years of activity from HB9CRQ's old QTH (residential area, see also HB9CRQ QSL-card) all equipment was moved to an industrial area 5 km NW of the old QTH.
The new shack was built on "the green field". We are using 4000 sqm (40'000 sqft) fenced-in land. This gives us enough room for several tower-positions with good size antennas.

Google unveils a self-driving car
Today Google unveiled their purpose-built self-driving car prototype, complete with no steering wheel, brake, or gas pedals. You just jump in, and go. The demo video is pretty impressive, and even the funnier Kara Swisher video of her first ride makes it look kind of fun. [more inside]
pirate car radio! finally!
Roadcasting is an idea bandied about for ages: create ad-hoc low power FM networks that let you share the mp3 music you're hearing in your car with those driving around you. It's basically a blueprint for shared pirate radio as you drive, surfing the dial for a variety of music from nearby motorists. They've got screenshots and source code and it looks just like the system imagined in Cory Doctorow's books. I can't wait to see where this project is headed. [via unmediated]

Asturias and Cantabria Coasts - Spain's Rural Prehistoric Cave Country
Great food, a rural landscape punctuated by tall mountains, prehistoric caves, and a cool climate make Spain's Northern coast a place to consider staying for a while.
If you're a frequent traveler, I'm sure you have paper maps with the cool places you've visited annotated by hastily scribbled and mostly unreadable notes. Mine of the Asturias and Cantabria coast is below, although spruced up a bit.
The area covered by the map is western Asturias and eastern Cantabria, an area between the cities of Gijon and Santander, which I found to be one of the most fascinating rural areas I've ever visited in Europe. People are friendly, you're never far from the sea, and the climate is moderated by its exposure to cool Atlantic waters of the Bay of Biscay. We visited in the summer when the daytime temperatures were near perfect and were able to watch incredible thunderstorms almost every evening from the wrap-around patio of our rented "Casa Rurale." The area is a favorite with Spaniards who know enough to avoid the heat of Spain's interior in summer.
Some of the things you can experience here:
- Cider Houses - Asturias is sidra or cider country, along with Cantabria and the Basque region.
- The Picos de Europa, separating the Liébana region of Cantabria (the westernmost section) from Eastern Asturias, are a tourist favorite. A craggy limestone range with immense slopes and dramatic gorges, the picos are a great destination for mountaineering, bird watching, walking, and trekking.
- Cheese - The lush green valleys are perfect for dairy cattle - try the local blue cheese Cabrales.
- Prehistoric caves in abundance - There's the famous Altamira, of course, but some lesser know caves, pointed out on the map as gray stars, are worthy of your attention as well.
Where to Stay in Asturias
Casas Rurales are a fine way to experience Asturias. You'll find a plethora of them surrounding the town of Infiesto, in a region called Concejo de Piloña, where you'll also find many recreation areas in which to hike or picnic, along with small mountain hamlets which host bars, restaurants, and cider houses. To get information on the Casas Rurales, see the Aspitur website, or pick up a handy map from the tourist kiosk on the main road through Infiesto (on your left if you're going East). See the summer storm pictures, mostly taken from the veranda of a house we rented located just south of Infiesto.
HomeAway lists many vacation rentals in Asturias and Cantabria as well (book direct).
Congas de Onis
Congas de Onis sits besides the river Sella on one of the old pilgrimage routes. It used to be the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Asturias. There are lots of opportunities for river sports like fishing and kayaking nearby. A walking trail along the Sella follows the highway northwest. Congas de Onis is centered around a medieval "Roman" bridge, and there's a bar and restaurant right on the banks of the Sella in the shadow of the bridge--have a coffee or a meal on the lawn here.
There is a highly-rated luxury parador just outside Congas de Onis as well as other less expensive hotels listed at Venere: Cangas de OnÃs Hotels, Spain.
Infiesto is a nice little town to visit in the heart of cider country. You can take a walking path between Arriondas and Congas de Onis, stopping to eat or drink in the shadow of the "Roman" bridge at Congas. Further on the road brings you fabulous views of the Picos de Europa. If you have time, stop at the National Park Sierra de Covadonga.
Ribadesella is a pretty port town located where the river Sella meats the sea. On the first week of august paddlers try to rip through the last 20 km of river in record time in the Descenso Internacional del Sella. The Tito Bustillo Cave is here. The hotel Posada del Valle has an organic farm to stock its restaurant, and offer food, language and other workshops. There are lots of shops and restaurants in town. You can make reservations for the caves, then go and visit them at your leisure. The Saint James Way pilgrimage route passes through Ribadesella, so you might want to reserve lodging well before you get there in the tourism season.
Picos de Europa
From Congas you can travel on to the National Park of Sierra de Covadonga to visit the mountain lakes the park is noted for (Covadonga is where the Spanish Christian army first held fast against the Moors in 722), or you can start your visit to the Picos de Europa. If you just want to have a view of the Picos from your hotel room, check out the area around Arenas de Cabrales. See our Picos de Europa links for more on this fascinating area. Best time to visit is late summer, earlier and the weather is pretty unpredictable, and it can get mighty cold and fog shrouded in those hills.
Things you'll see: El Horreo
These ancient granaries made of chestnut and set upon triangular pillars as protection against rodents are almost a symbol of northern Spain. Called Garaia in Basque country, they're still in use, mainly because it's illegal to tear them down and they do serve a function for rural inhabitants of Asturias.
Sidra - The Cider Culture
Cider houses are found frequently in the Asturias region. Cider houses are separate from bars because of the ritual nature of pouring and drinking that cider requires; the floor of a cider house can be awash in discarded dregs at times. Interested in how it's all done? We've got a page on Cider House Rules.
Altamira Cave and the New Cave
Altamira is known as the "Sistine Chapel of Prehistoric Art pretty much since its discovery in 1879 by Marcelino Sanz de Sautuola, but alas, it is currently closed to visitors. A replica has been built, called the New Cave, and you can visit it in the Altamira Museum in Santillana del Mar. Entrance costs 3⬠and is free for those under 18 and over 65 years of age. Admission is free for everyone on the 18th of May, International Museum Day; the 12th of October, Columbus Day; and the 6th of December, Constitution Day. Open 9:30 am to 7:30 pm in Summer. Official Site, which also has information on visiting other caves and archaeological museums.
Puente Viesgo and its Prehistoric Caves
The village of Puente Visego has a variety of interesting restaurants and makes a fine lunch spot before you head off to the caves of Monte del Castillo, just a short, uphill drive out of town, well marked. For a reasonable fee, you'll visit two caves, one noted for its paintings and the other for the variety of rock formations, stalagmites and stalactites.
The road south from Puente Viesgo, N 232, is quite scenic, but desolate after the town of Soncillo.
A Virtual Tour of the Best of Northern Spain will take you through a series of photographs of the sights in Asturias and Cantabria.
What to Eat
Try the famous blue cheese of the region called Cabrales. There is plenty of fish in the region, of course. Fabada is a local stick-to-the-ribs bean stew with Spanish chorizo and other meats, and it's one of my favorite dishes of all time.
Posadas and other Lodging
The P symbol inside the box on our map indicates that the village hosts a posada, or historic country inn, often quite charming. Here's a short list:
- Ribadesella - Posada de Valle
- Valdaliga (marked "H" on the map) La Charola (with library, barbeque, laundry and Internet).
And, while it's not technically a Posada, you might want to check out El Molino de Tresgrandas, a hotel that features mystery weekends. Solve the mystery and you may win a barrel of Sidra, as explained in this review.
Nude Beaches - Naturalism
There is a nude beach with camping nearby near Ribadesella called Playa de l'Arena de Vega. See the Naturist Association Friends of the Principality of Asturias web site for more on Naturalism in Asturias.
Asturias Airport (OVD), located 47 km from Oviedo, serves Asturias.

To help golfers identify and resolve the key element(s) of their golf swing that inhibits their ability to play better golf. Golf is a fun, rewarding and at times a frustrating journey that will test every part of a golfer's personality.
Cause & Effect Golf
would like to be the guide in a golfer's journey to better golf.
The golf swing is an all encompassing athletic move of body parts that have a "Cause & Effect Relationship". Whether a golfer is playing corporate golf, recreational golf or competitive golf there are key components of the golf swing that help propel one's golf game to better golf. Good golf can be played with a variety of golf swings however it is human nature for us to strive for improvement. To increase a golfer's odds of playing better golf it is suggested to obtain proper swing instruction, course management skills and proper mental preparedness. Regardless the level of golf you play learning more about your golf swing, physical conditioning and mental capacity on the golf course can only help a student play better golf.
To conquer golf is unrealistic however to learn the relationship of the key components in the golf swing is a realistic attempt to improving one's golf game.
Cause & Effect Golf
has developed many levels of golf instruction to help our students. From golf tip videos on swing basics to the more involved process that involves practice drills, video golf analysis, monthly online seminars along with health news to improve body performance. With our new
Online Golf Academy
we can help golfers from all over the world improve their golf game.
Cause & Effect Golf
is dedicated to a unique philosophy of identifying, focusing and understanding the root element that inhibits one's ability to achieving better golf. A golfer's improvement can be achieved by establishing a well balanced step-by-step approach tailored for the student. With proper identification of the key movements and focusing on correct drills success can be obtainable.
Unlike other golf websites that feed the golfer countless videos on various homogenized swing videos
Cause & Effect Golf
is different. To information in shotgun approach to the golfer in reality it can be misleading, confusing and overwhelming to the golfer. There are many ways to hit a golf ball some ways more conducive to ones body type than others.
Cause & Effect Golf
is not about one swing theory it is about applying what we know and understand about the relationship of moving parts and applying the correct instructional method to provide golfers a path to better golf.
I invite you to be a part of our
Cause & Effect Golf
community and elevate your golf game to the level of play you so desire. Currently I provide private golf lessons in Scottsdale Arizona by appointment. Please contact me so we can get you on the road to better golf.

Karen Keck
(Net Advance of Physics)
At the 1932 meeting of quantum physicists at Niels Bohr's Copenhagen Institute, participants staged an updated version of Goethe's Faust with Pauli tempting Ehrenfest to accept a chargeless, massless particle, then called the neutron. The most widely read translation of the anonymous Faust: Eine Historie appears in George Gamow's Thirty Years that Shook Physics; his second wife, Barbara, translated the text. Her work masterfully communicates the parallels between Goethe's original and the anonymous parody, but it also rearranges and adds to the parody to strengthen those similarities and to reflect George Gamow's views. The changes emphasize the international and cooperative aspects of physics.

What happens when you change one port? Quite a lot, actually. Apple introduced the 30-pin iPod port on April 28, 2003. That makes the technology – a fairly streamlined solution for 2003 – nine years old and, thanks to the iPhone's popularity, essentially ubiquitous. Now, however, as news leaks about either a 19- or 9-pin overhaul of the technology, there's something important to consider: the install base of 30-pin devices is wild and deep and a simple change could create an e-waste problem if not properly handled. Read the full story at Tech Crunch.

Chicago Bears cornerback Charles Tillman checked in at No. 66 in our NFLRank project, which kicked off Day 4 on Thursday with ESPN ranking the Top 100 players around the league on both sides of the ball.
The latest rankings grouped players between Nos. 70 through 61. Bears tight end Martellus Bennett made the list on Tuesday with a No. 82 ranking, while defensive end Lamarr Houston became the club's first defender to crack the top 100 (No. 80)
Tillman's 42 forced fumbles is tops by a defensive back in NFL history. Tillman has forced at least three fumbles in seven consecutive seasons, which ties as the longest such streak in NFL history, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
Playing on a one-year contract signed back in March, Tillman, 33, could be entering his last season with the Bears. They signed Tim Jennings to an extension during the offseason and used a first-round pick to bring in Kyle Fuller.
"Charles is one of the NFL's great players and a true leader on and off the field, and we're happy he will be staying in Chicago," Bears general manager Phil Emery said after Tillman re-signed. "He remains the best in our game at forcing turnovers and always has brought a tough, physical presence to our secondary. Charles also has a special connection to the people and community across Chicago, and we're excited for that to continue."
The 2013 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award winner, Tillman started just eight games last season before finishing on injured reserve due to torn triceps, but he still forced six takeaways (three interceptions, three forced fumbles).
Tillman's 36 interceptions rank No. 3 in franchise history, and he owns club records for interception return yards (675), interception return touchdowns (eight) and defensive return touchdowns (nine).

Arkansas State is doing a tremendous job recruiting young men to Jonesboro, Arkansas.
As of Sunday evening Hugh Freeze and his coaching staff has picked up thirteen commitments, compared to just one this time last year.
Freeze and his recruiting coordinator and former Whitehaven Head Coach Maurice Harris are using their connections in the Bluff City to their advantage.
Memphis Frayser big offensive lineman James Rooks made his pledge to Arkansas State and according to his high school head coach Greg Howard, Freeze is getting a great one.
"Rooks is going to be a great one for Arkansas State," Howard told AStateNation.com. "He is very athletic, he is a big 6-foot-6, 298-pound kid that can run."
It appears that Rooks has been working on getting in better shape and has loss over 25 pounds since the summer.
"James has worked hard," Howard said. "Now we got to keep him in the weight room and get him stronger overall."
According to Howard, it was the relationships that the Red Wolves Coaching staff made with Rooks that ended in his decision.
"They recruited him from day one and stood by him since day one," Howard said. "Arkansas State showed him a lot of attention and made him feel special. They do a great job recruiting our kids."
Howard also noted that Rooks has been keeping up with the Red Wolves success.
"He loved it when they whipped Memphis," Howard said. "He loves their fast pace offense, they are an exciting team to watch."
Rooks makes No. 13 for Arkansas State and four from the Memphis area.

Andrew Keen: If you must argue on the internet, use a little expertise...
Published 08/09/2008
Do you believe in God? Should we eat meat? Do you think baby boys should be circumcised? For Internet users still unsure of the answers to this type of big picture question, a promising new American website called OpposingViews.com offers a digital debating chamber for proven experts in politics, economics, culture, science and faith.
On OpposingViews, you'll find not only debaters from well-known organisations such as Amnesty International, the Sierra Club and the National Rifle Association (NRA), but also experts from less familiar authoritative bodies like the National Association of Circumcision Information (NACI).
I'm not sure if God exists and I'm certainly not going to publicly state my position on circumcision, but what I do know for sure is that this Southern Californian-based new website offers convincing proof that Web 2.0's cult of amateur content is rapidly going out of fashion.
What OpposingViews undeniably proves is that the internet's new "new thing"is expertise.
