Wow, we're still angry with the banking sector. Apparently 70 per cent of us feel that banking executives should face criminal charges for their roles in the PPI mis-selling scandal according to, surprise, surprise, a PPI claims company.
In the week that Barclays announced it was setting aside another £1.35bn to bring the mis-selling payment fund to almost £4bn, the figures from Forbes Douglas also found that nearly two thirds of people want the Government to force banks to pro-actively track down and compensate affected customers.
Criminal charges? I don't ever lose sleep over the plight of the banker, but criminal charges, presumably for fraud, would suggest that swathes of senior execs went into the boardroom and said "I've had a great idea lads, we're going to use PPI to deliberately defraud the British public."
Unlikely. What is more likely is that yet again, an industry-wide, ingrained tactic to maximise profits among commercial organisations in itself offered a repeating loop of seeming justification. Consciences were swept aside by those focused on the bottom line rather than the customer.
I'm not saying that makes it OK, but several have already lost their jobs and will, rightly, never work in the industry again. What should concern us is deconstructing the culture that spawned PPI. We must now seek transparency, change attitudes and pounce on the next round of emerging mis-selling issues. Expensive legal action will do nothing for the out-of-pocket man on the street.

Wolf Blitzer gets his Dougie on at the Soul Train Awards with the help of Doug E. Fresh
Wolf Blitzer, the white-haired politico from CNN, can usually be found musing on the hysteria of world politics. Last night, however, he stole the show at the Soul Train Music Awards by hitting his illest and meanest "Dougie," the dance craze sweeping the nation -- and, it appears, the Situation Room (thanks, no doubt, to Cali Swag District).
What started off as a tribute to Don Cornelius and the many years of Soul Train quickly turned into much more when Doug E. Fresh, the namesake of the dance sensation, hit the stage to join Wolf in cutting a rug. Don't miss Wolf's stiff-shouldered shimmy as he moves about the stage, pointing the microphone at the crowd and looking like a stoic garden gnome. Oh, my.

BARCELONA, Spain – It's an oft-repeated goal by NFC backers–to enable customers to use a variety of NFC services when they roam in different countries by downloading the local applications when they arrive at the airport or at the point of service.
Japanese mobile operators KDDI and Softbank Mobile have launched an NFC couponing service in a popular Korean district of Tokyo, implemented by an affiliate of South Korea's largest mobile operator, SK Telecom.
The 10-year anniversary of the official birth of NFC came and went quietly on Sept. 5, 2012.
While he announced that U.S. mobile operator Sprint will introduce more than 10 additional NFC phones supporting the Google Wallet this year, Osama Bedier, who heads the wallet program at Google, revealed few other details about how the Web giant plans to boost the wallet's market presence.
Samsung Electronics has confirmed it has an NFC version of its Galaxy Note, though that comes as no surprise to operators in South Korea, which have been selling the tablet-smartphone hybrid with NFC inside for about two months.
While mobile operators in most other countries are still struggling to roll out even scant volumes of NFC phones that can do payment, ticketing and other applications, South Korea's telcos have already crossed the 5 million-phone mark–including NFC versions of such high-profile devices as the Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note.
2012 was going to be the year that the new era of NFC-based mobile commerce had finally arrived–with Google Wallet rolling out widely, mobile operators in the U.S. and Europe making significant inroads with their own mobile wallets and big Asian m-commerce players generally commercializing NFC, as well.
South Korean mobile operator KT Corp. is launching a small rollout of NFC services on Apple's iPhone 4, using an attachment called iCarte that contains a full NFC chip.
South Korean mobile operator KT Corp. is introducing the Samsung Galaxy S II for NFC payment and other services, a source at KT confirmed to NFC Times.
The major Japanese and South Korean mobile operators in separate announcements today revealed details for planned cross-border NFC services–signaling the move by the telcos away from domestic contactless-mobile technology to standard NFC.
NFC TIMES Exclusive – A spokesman for four major Australian banks battling Apple for access to NFC technology on its iPhones shot back at Apple's latest filing with Australian competition officials, denying that the banks are trying to avoid paying fees to Apple to participate in the payments service, the spokesman told NFC Times.
NFC TIMES Exclusive – Switzerland-based payments software company Netcetera acquired longtime NFC technology supplier Nexperts of Austria to deliver a multich
NFC TIMES Exclusive Insight – Two years after launch, Apple says Apple Pay users carried out hundreds of millions of transactions worth billions of dollars during the fourth quarter, Apple CEO Tim Cook told financial analysts Thursday, although Apple still doesn't release actual transaction figures.
NFC TIMES Exclusive – The rollout of payments wearables is hitting a snag, with commercial and technical challenges holding back plans by industry players to enable consumers to buy wristbands, analog watches, rings and other wearables and then load them with their favorite debit and credit cards. (See table, challenge sections, below.)
NFC TIMES Exclusive – ČSOB, the Czech Republic's No. 2 bank, faced challenges in launching the country's first HCE-based wallet last year.
NFC Times Exclusive – The coming year will see the major networks continuing to dominate tokenization, even though at least a few more domestic payments schemes will begin tokenizing cards.
NFC Times Exclusive – At least six of Taiwan's largest card issuers are lined up to participate in Apple Pay when it launches on the island nation, expected before the end of the first quarter, NFC Times has learned.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Chip maker STMicroelectronics has been gearing up to make a play for the payments wearables market, an initiative punctuated by its announcement last week that it is working with Germany-based Giesecke & Devrient and payments wearables technology start-up FitPay to streamline provisioning of card credentials on its embedded chips.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight – Deutsche Telekom, one of the most important backers of SIM-based NFC through the years, now questions whether the technology could ever become a standard, as it quietly withdrew its little-used SIM-based NFC mobile wallet from the German market last week after more than two years.
NFC Times Exclusive – The rollout of digital payments, including services using NFC technology, are undoubtedly making progress, especially compared with just a few years ago.
NFC Times Exclusive – More Chinese OEMs have launched support for NFC transit ticketing, following earlier launches by Xiaomi and Huawei, NFC Times has learned, with at least five more device makers enabling service in one to two Chinese cities, or planning to do so.
NFC Times Exclusive Insight - All stations on Moscow's new commuter rail line, the Moscow Central Circle, or MCC, and some Moscow Metro stations linked with the new line, accept open-loop payments, including with Apple Pay, the Russian transit authority confirmed to NFC Times, adding that the authority is looking forward to accepting a range of other NFC-enabled wallets, including Samsung Pay.

Innovation contests came on strong in the federal government in 2010, buoyed by enthusiasm at the White House. At last count, agencies were sponsoring more than 60 idea competitions on Challenge.gov, and it's an easy bet that more will launch in 2011. Some will produce great results, and others might fizzle. The coming year is likely to bring more attention to what it takes to create a winning format.
"Contests will continue to be a positive force in 2011, and we will get better in how we run them," said Brad Rourke, president of the Mannakee Circle Group. He recently authored a study on idea contests for the Case Foundation, Domestic Policy Council and White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
The trend began in 2008 when Vivek Kundra, who was then chief technology officer for the District of Columbia, started an Apps for Democracy contest that drew lots of developer interest.
After Kundra joined the White House as CIO, President Barack Obama endorsed contests and challenges in the Open Government Directive issued in December 2009. Several agencies have held competitions since then.
Some have been highly successful, including two efforts by the Veterans Affairs Department that generated 10,000 submissions from more than 50,000 employees. Others have sputtered. The Social Security Administration held a video competition that didn't get even 10 entries.
In September, the General Services Administration launched Challenge.gov to publicize contests and help agencies share best practices.
As 2011 begins, the contest trend shows no signs of stopping. But the next round might become more targeted to increase the chances of getting a worthwhile result.
The Case Foundation study notes that concerns have been raised about maintaining fairness and arranging proper legal authorities for the contests because participants have tried to game the system or the voting process.
In the Case Foundation study, Peter Lee, who was director of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Transformational Convergence Technology Office at the time, said, "Ensuring absolute fairness is hard. It took much more time than we expected." Lee has since left DARPA to become managing director of Microsoft Research Redmond.
"The contests are not a set-it-and-forget-it kind of thing," Rourke said. "You cannot just announce it and expect the floodgates to open. You cannot take your eye off the day-to-day management."
"With the right structure, I would say that apps competitions have proven very beneficial to government," said Larry Albert, executive vice president of Agilex Technologies, a vendor involved in the Health and Human Services Department's application development efforts for electronically exchanging health data.
In the coming year, federal agencies are likely to become more strategic in their use of innovation competitions depending on their goals, said Adriel Hampton, producer and co-founder of Gov 2.0 Radio. An application development contest ought to be designed differently if the goal is to build an inexpensive solution rather than to build general awareness and support for the agency, he added.
"The question is: What do you want to achieve? Is the contest for obtaining a solution more cheaply, or is it public relations-driven?" Hampton asked. "There is a long way to go to build contests with sustainable value and processes."

Clever and unassuming Arabist who was British Ambassador to Kuwait and Saudi Arabia in the 1970s
In the course of a very long life, John Wilton, Ambassador to Kuwait and then Saudi Arabia in the 1970s and Foreign Office Arabist par excellence, enjoyed a diplomatic career of quiet, almost uncelebrated distinction.
Arthur John Wilton was born in 1921 into a family of modest circumstances. He won a scholarship to the local grammar school in Wanstead, northeast London, where an inspired history teacher instilled in him the skills to win an open scholarship to St John's College, Oxford. He was to spend only the first two war years at university before he was commissioned in 1942 into

Lower, simpler taxes
Sir, So British voters believe that UK direct taxes, including income tax and Capital Gains Tax (CGT), are worse even than in China, India or France ("Britain not open for business, say voters", June 20).
With the tax consultant Richard Teather, I am trying to persuade the Government that by abolishing a large number of tax reliefs, mainly enjoyed by the wealthy, we can afford to reduce the direct tax burden of 30 million taxpayers significantly.
So far we have succeeded only with the idea of increasing the personal allowance to £10,000 per annum, taking 2.3

Hepatocarcinogenesis is one of the most prevalent and lethal cancers. We studied the mechanisms underlying the inhibition of diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced hepatocarcinogenesis by lycopene in rats. Hepatocarcinogenesis was induced by an intraperitoneal injection of DEN followed by promotion with phenobarbital for 24 successive wk. The rats were given lycopene (20 mg/kg body weight) 3 times a week orally for 4 wk prior to initiation, and the treatment was continued for 24 consecutive wk. Lycopene reduced incidence, number, size, and volume of hepatic nodules. Serum alanine transaminase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, and malondialdehyde (MDA) considerably increased and hepatic antioxidant enzymes (catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase) and glutathione decreased in DEN-treated rats when compared with the control group. Lycopene significantly reversed these biochemical changes and increased the expression of NF-E-2-related factor-2)/heme oxygenase-1, and it decreased NF-B/cyclooxygenase-2, inhibiting the inflammatory cascade and activating antioxidant signaling (P < 0.05). Lycopene also decreased DEN-induced increases in phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamycin (p-mTOR), phosphorylated p70 ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1, phosphorylated 4E-binding protein 1, and protein kinase B (P < 0.05). Lycopene is an active chemopreventive agent that offers protection against DEN-induced hepatocarcinogenesis by inhibiting NF-B and mTOR pathways. © 2014 Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC. Source

West Nile Virus (WNV) infection, transmitted mainly through mosquito bites, is generally asymptomatic but may also result in mild fever, meningitis, encephalitis and death in various animals and humans. The presence of the WNV in Turkey has been reported previously. However, comparative epizootiological data on the recent prevalence of the WNV infection in various animal species and humans in western Turkey are limited. The objective of this study was to investigate the seroprevalence of WNV infection in animals and humans in western Turkey. Four hundred and forty serum samples were collected from 40 cats, 60 cattle, 90 humans and 50 sheep, goats, camels, horses, and broiler breeder chickens between the years 2009 and 2012. The serum samples were tested for antibodies against the envelope protein (E) of the virus using a commercial competitive Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (cELISA). The human samples were retested using commercial Indirect Fluorescence Antibody Test (IFAT). No antibodies were detected in cats, sheep, goats, and chickens. Seropositivity rates of 44% (22/50) in camels, 32% (16/50) in horses, 20% (12/60) in cattle and 41.1% (37/90) in humans were found. The results of the seropositivity in humans obtained using cELISA and IFAT were identical. These data suggest that the WNV infection may be present subclinically in horses, camels, cattle and humans in western Turkey and may pose a threat to animal and human health in the region and surrounding areas. © 2016, Israel Veterinary Medical Association.

Curcumin, a polyphenol, has pharmacological effects including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer features. In this study, we have performed comparative in vivo evaluations of CDF (curcumin difluorinated) and curcumin in cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Male Wistar rats were divided into four groups: (1) Control; (2) Cisplatin (7 mg/kg body wt, intraperitoneal as a single dose); (3) Cisplatin and CDF (50 mg/rat/day; for 12 days); (4) Cisplatin and curcumin (50 mg/rat/day), for 12 days). Cisplatin treated rats exhibited kidney injury manifested by increased serum N-urea and creatinine (P < 0.001). Kidney from cisplatin treated rats also exhibited significant increase in malondialdehyde (MDA) and 8-isoprostane levels (P < 0.001). Treatment with CDF and curcumin prevented the rise in serum N-urea, creatinine, MDA and 8-isoprostane as compared to experimental control group in kidney (P < 0.05). Compared to curcumin, CDF had greater potential in suppressing cisplatin-induced pro-inflammatory factors NF-κB and COX-2 as well as downstream markers Nrf2 and HO-1 (P < 0.05) in kidney. The analysis on anion transport markers (OAT1 and OAT3) showed a similar trend (CDF > curcumin). CDF could reduce the expression of multi-drug resistance markers OCT1, OCT2, MRP2 and MRP4 to a much greater extent than curcumin (P < 0.05). We also demonstrate that CDF influenced the expression of p-mTOR, p-p70S6K1, p-4E-BP1 and p-Akt. These data suggest that CDF can potentially be used to reduce the chemotherapy induced nephrotoxicity thereby enhancing the therapeutic window of cisplatin. The results also proved that compared to curcumin, CDF has superior protective effect in nephrotoxicity. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media New York. Source

Abstract - This paper is concerned with the translation of text to Braille code vibration signal in an electronic hand glove using an algorithm based on mathematical logic. It is built on a translation system that combines a finite state machine with left and right context matching and a set of translation rules. This allows the translation of different languages and different grades of Braille contraction, and text-to-Braille conversion. All the implementations perform translation correctly on a range of different operating systems and machines, demonstrating that they are platform-independent. English to Braille code signal vibration conversion responds to increased demands on the Braille code that is integrated education of blind children. The changes inherent in English To Braille code signal conversion are mostly minor for literary Braille and most evident for mathematics and science notations making Braille easier to learn by all stakeholders and easier to read and write for blind people. English to Braille Conversion is optimised for use by students integrated into regular schools, ideal for students using English as their primary or secondary languag; and well-suited to the needs of blind students in developing countries Keywords: Braille; cell; hand glove; viberation; characte; dot
vibration signal in a hand glove. The glove contains six vibration positions which equals to six raised dots of a Braille cell. Braille translation is not a trivial task, however, because there is a need to perform the contractions correctly. II.
A. What is Braille code As mentioned earlier Braille generally consists of cells of six raised dots arranged in a grid of two dots horizontally by three dots vertically. The dots are conventionally numbered 1, 2, and 3 from the top of the left column and 4, 5, and 6 from the top of the right column.The presence or absence of dots gives the coding for the symbol.
Figure 1 . A Braille Cell English Braille is used to code the letters punctuation symbols, some double letter signs and word signs directly but capital letters and numbers are dealt with by using a prefix symbol
Braille is a system of writing that uses patterns of raised dots to inscribe characters on paper. It therefore allows visuallyimpaired people to read and write using touch instead of vision .It is a way for blind people to participate in a literate culture. First developed in the nineteenth century, Braille has become the pre-eminent tactile alphabet. Its characters are six-dot cells, two wide by three tall. Any of the dots may be raised, giving 26 or 64 possible characters. Although Braille cells are used world-wide, the meaning of each of the 64 cells depends on the language that they are being used to depict. Different languages have their own Braille codes, mapping the alphabets, numbers and punctuation symbols to Braille cells in accordance with the varying needs. Braille characters can also be used to represent whole words or groups of letters. This text can then be translated into Braille

Justification of computer Braille translation:
Figure 3. Example for Braille to English
Braille has come under attack in recent years, with studies showing decreasing usage due to changing patterns of education. Alternative technologies, like speech synthesis, now exist for many of its applications. It can be safely assumed that sighted people will use without complexity, but it is difficult for partially sighted or blind. There are fundamental reasons for continuing with Braille. • Reading and writing Braille code is a form of literacy: Literacy is a vital component of modern knowledge and society, and Braille code permits literacy for blind people. Using audio only technology denies literacy to Braille users. • Braille code is silent: Alternative technologies to Braille may not be useful in all circumstances. A speech synthesizer and speech interpreter forbid complete privacy and intrude on the local environment. This would not be appropriate in, for example, an office environment. • Braille code is accurate in reading: Speech synthesis is an alternative method to Braille code conversion. it may introduce different meanings. Problems will arise from words not known to the synthesizer, missspelt words, or with words pronounced differently according to context Reading straight from the text removes a potential source of error. • Braille code allows interpretation of the text by the reader, not by another: Any reader who wishes to interpret a text themselves – an actor, or a reader for pleasure – may want to form their own interpretation of a text, not be forced into that of a wrong logic in computer program or particular actor. In accuracies in interpretation may be possible. • Braille code is cheaper than computer technology: The mechanism to produce Braille vibration signal and produce Blind can understand the communication to the world very easily and it is new communication path for blind persons.

B. Use of Braille with computer technology The recent development of personal computers has brought new benefits to Braille users that have access to them. Computerized Braille translation is one of these benefits, but it is not a straightforward process because of the complexities of Braille construction. • Difficulties of computer Braille translation:
Construction makes Braille translation difficult. Without it, Braille translation would be a relatively text characters to Braille cells. Each language (English, French) would need its own unique mapping dictionary, but the operation would be trivial. Contraction greatly increases complexity, so computer translation is generally difficult. For example, in German, there are many words that are formed from the concatenation of other words, similar to the English.
With the profitable commercialization of several public translators the number of approaches available for study in the public realm has decreased. Approaches have inclined to be based around the use of dictionaries of specific translations and limited rule systems because of the trade-off between translation rule numbers and accuracy. The rules work with a 'window' of the input text that can potentially be translated, and examine the context to the right of the window to see a rule is correct to determine whether the window is in the middle or end of a word. A finite state machine determines whether the translation is performed. This may be still the basis for commercial products, but they have ceased to be published in the public domain.

A finite state machine, the translation engine, works with, but is independent of a single language rules table. The former contains the translation algorithms and functions, and the latter all of the translation information for translation of one language in one direction. The translation engine can use any language rules table, so any language can be translated to or from Braille code if the language rules table is constructed. The language rules table consists of a set of translation rules and a decision table. During translation the engine works along the input text, character by character. It attempts to match a window of input text starting with the current character with one of the translation rules in the language rules table. A successful match with a translation rule must match a segment of text, the context, to the left and right of the window and the state of the engine. The engine state is controlled by a finite state machine, using the contents of the decision table, and regulates which subset of the language translation rules can be used. This allows both contracted and non-contracted translation can be supported from the same language rules table. The translation rule then provides the translation for that window of input text, which is appended to the growing output text, and the engine moves along the input text to the next unmatched character. A description of the structure of the language rules table will clarify the translation mechanism. A. The translation algorithm and process The details of the language rules table provided in the preceding sections should allow the algorithm of the translation engine to be understood. It initializes and loads language translation table and translate input text into Braille code then it send signals to operate Braille hand glove. Current character = first character of input While current character <> end of input Do Begin Start at first rule whose focus begins with current character Match = FALSE Do If focus matches And state is ok And right context matches And left context matches Begin Add output from matching rule to output buffer Set new state according to matching rule Match = TRUE Current character moved along input by length of focus End Else Go to next rule Until match End
Before translation starts, the input text is normalized, ensuring that any character in the text is appropriate for that language. This may be upper and lower case, for instance. It can simplify translation and can also allow more flexibility if required. The algorithm is high-level, but simple. The design does not make explicit what should output when no match is found for an input character. A space, or the input character, or another character, or nothing may be written, at the discretion of the implementer and produce the no vibration in Braille glove as output. The choice will reflect the final user requirements for an implementation of the system.
A. Braille Transalation implementation Braille Trans is coded in the Matlab 7.6. It is designed to be compiled and run on one of the Microsoft Windows 32-bit operating systems (Windows '95/'98/Me or Windows NT/XP). When compiled to an executable program, in native code, it resides on a machine as a Windows Dynamic Linked Library (DLL). This is a binary executable that supplies a public interface to the Windows operating system and can thus be utilized by other Windows applications with comparative case. B.

Port 1 contains higher order address line (A8-A15). Port 3 contains special purpose register such as serial input receiver register SBUF, interrupt INT0,INT1 and timers T0 , T1 many of the pins have multi functions which can be used as general purpose I/O pins (or) Special purpose function can be decided by the programmer itself. The AT89C51 is a low-power, high-performance CMOS 8bit microcomputer with 4KB of Flash Programmable and Erasable Read Only Memory (PEROM). The device is manufactured using Atmel high density non-volatile memory technology and is compatible with the industry standard MCS-51™ instruction set and pin out. The on-chip Flash allows the program memory to be reprogrammed in-system or by a conventional nonvolatile memory programmer. Here the vibration motor timing and on/off procedure is programmed in hi-tech c language and it is loaded in micro controller. Based on the signals from Braille code value it is activated with the corresponding motors in Braille hand glove. • RS-232: In telecommunications, RS-232 is a standard for serial binary data interconnection between a DTE (Data Terminal Equipment) and a DCE (Data Circuit Terminating Equipment). It is commonly used in computer serial ports. In this circuit the MAX 232 IC used as level logic converter. The MAX232 is a dual driver/receiver that includes a capacitive voltage generator to supply EIA 232 voltage levels from a single 5V supply. Each receiver converts EIA-232 to 5V TTL/CMOS levels. Each driver converts TLL/CMOS input levels into EIA-232 levels. In this circuit the microcontroller transmitter pin is connected in the MAX232 T2IN pin which converts input 5V TTL/CMOS level to RS232 level. Then T2OUT pin is connected to receiver pin of 9 pin D type serial connector which is directly connected to PC. Here the Braille hand glove is connected to COM1 port of PC and it retrieves the Braille signals through RS232. • Vibrator motor: The main component in Braille glove is vibration motor. it is configured in two basic varieties ie coin (or flat) and cylinder (or bar). Cylinder type motors are simple brush motors with a traditional axial design. The centric movement of the weight attached to the rotor provides vibration during operation. In Braille glove it is best suited in finger positions. The amount of vibration is directly proportional to the voltage applied to the motor. Cylinder motors are manufactured in high volumes and are fairly inexpensive. An electrical current applied to the coil in the direction of the arrow generates upward force on the left side of the coil and downward force on the right side, causing the coil to revolve clockwise.
Figure 6. Braille Vibration Glove • Micro controller and Working principle: Microcontroller is a general purpose device, which integrates a number of the components of a microprocessor system onto single chip. It has inbuilt CPU, memory and peripherals to make it as a mini computer. A microcontroller is integrated with 1. CPU Core 2. RAM and ROM 3. Some parallel digital i/o ICs Microcontrollers will combine other devices such as: A timer module to allow the microcontroller to perform tasks for certain time periods. A serial I/O port to allow data to flow between the controller and other devices such as a PIC or another microcontroller. An ADC allows analogue input data to convert into digital data. Micro controller is a stand alone unit, which can perform functions on its own without any requirement for additional hardware like I/O ports and external memory. The heart of the microcontroller is the CPU core. In the past, this has traditionally been based on a 8-bit microprocessor unit. For example Motorola uses a basic 6800 microprocessor core in their 6805/6808 microcontroller devices. In the recent years, microcontrollers have been developed around specifically designed CPU cores, for example the microchip PIC range of microcontrollers.AT89C51 is the 40 pins, 8 bit Microcontroller manufactured by Atmel group. It is the flash type reprogrammable memory. Advantage of this flash memory is we can erase the program within few minutes. It has 4KB on chip ROM and 128 bytes internal RAM and 32 I/O pin as arranged as port 0 to port 3 each has 8 bit bin .Port 0 contains 8 data line(D0-D7) as well as low order address line(AO-A7).
The development of computer text and Braille translation is necessary for visually impaired community. A number of private translation programs exist, but their private

ownership restricts open development. A translation algorithm has been developed and implemented in a Matlab 7.6 translation program and high-tech C language was used in Braille hand glove. However, a number of limitations of this implementation were identified: the platform and character-set dependency of the Matlab implementation, its standalone function, and the difficulties of using Braille Trans as part of a larger application. The project therefore proposed the development of a number of new classes to improve wherever possible on Braille Trans. The development of these classes was a success, and the time available was appropriate to the work required. REFERENCES [1] S.G.

Maria Sharapova started fast - but Serena Williams finished faster. Published June 08, 2013 12:00 The Top 2 players in the world stepped out in the French Open final for the first time since 1995. That year, the No.2 stepped up and beat the No.1 - and Maria Sharapova was having that kind of day. Sharapova came out like a house on fire, holding, breaking then building a 40-15 lead serving at 2-0. Having completed her Career Grand Slam at Roland Garros a year before, she was a crowd favorite. But that service game turned on a dime, as Serena Williams broke back and then held serve for 2-2. The match was incredibly competitive, but in the end Williams was just too good, ending it on an ace. After a very tight 64 64 victory - it lasted an hour and 46 minutes - Williams dropped to the court. Williams' huge ace up the T on match point was her 10th ace of the match. She had no double faults. Williams also finished the match with 29 winners to 21 unforced - Sharapova ended with 10 to 17. Williams converted four of a whopping 15 break point chances in the match, Sharapova two for two. Williams has now also beaten Sharapova 13 times in a row - she is 14-2 overall in their head-to-head. Arantxa Sánchez-Vicario, a three-time champion at the French Open, presented Williams with her trophy. Williams has now won 31 matches in a row - the third-longest winning streak of the new millennium. Williams wasn't the only one speaking French this year - Sharapova threw in a merci beaucoup. The Williams camp looked on as the World No.1 collected her second French Open and 16th Grand Slam. Williams now has five Australian Opens, two French Opens, five Wimbledons and four US Opens. Williams headed into Paris for the traditional champion's photo shoot in front of the Eiffel Tower. The shoot was perfectly timed with the sparkling of the Eiffel Tower, which happens on the hour. Williams' mother, Oracene Price, also took her turn in the photo shoot on Saturday evening. Williams is now 91-4 since the start of last April. Can anyone stop the World No.1 at Wimbledon?

Hello Web Admin, I noticed that your On-Page SEO is is missing a few factors, for one you do not use all three H tags in your post, also I notice that you are not using bold or italics properly in your SEO optimization. On-Page SEO means more now than ever since the new Google update: Panda. No longer are backlinks and simply pinging or sending out a RSS feed the key to getting Google PageRank or Alexa Rankings, You now NEED On-Page SEO. So what is good On-Page SEO?First your keyword must appear in the title.Then it must appear in the URL.You have to optimize your keyword and make sure that it has a nice keyword density of 3-5% in your article with relevant LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing). Then you should spread all H1,H2,H3 tags in your article.Your Keyword should appear in your first paragraph and in the last sentence of the page. You should have relevant usage of Bold and italics of your keyword.There should be one internal link to a page on your blog and you should have one image with an alt tag that has your keyword….wait there's even more Now what if i told you there was a simple WordPress plugin that does all the On-Page SEO, and automatically for you? That's right AUTOMATICALLY, just watch this 4minute video for more information at. Seo Plugin

Chris Painter Senior Director for CybersecurityNational Security Staff
For the past two years, Christopher Painter was the mainstay of the National Security Staff's cyber directorate.
Painter, who came to the White House from the Justice Department's Crime Section in 2008, led the directorate until the arrival of Howard Schmidt as cybersecurity coordinator. Painter took control of the directorate at a critical time, keeping the administration's agenda on track despite the chaos endemic to an incoming administration that wants to launch new policies and all the related changes to agency procedures and practices. Painter also spearheaded the declassification of the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative.
Painter kept a steady hand on the rudder until Schmidt relieved him, giving Schmidt a solid platform on which to build. Earlier this year, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton picked Painter to lead the newly created Office of the Coordinator for Cyber Issues at the State Department.

New-media darlings like Netflix
Blockbuster reached that conclusion last year, after testing both Blu-ray and HD-DVD optical discs at some of its stores. After tallying the rental results, Blockbuster went Blu-ray, choosing to spurn HD-DVD as it expanded the program.
It was a gutsy call for Blockbuster; at the time, the studios were still divided over which platform to support. However, since Blockbuster relies on video game rental systems to drive traffic into its stores -- and Sony's
Netflix probably didn't even have to make the decision this time around, since more and more studios have gradually migrated over to the Blu-ray side of the debate. Of the six major studios, only two still support the HD-DVD format. Blu-ray is pricier than HD-DVD, but the discs offer greater storage capacity than all but the very newest HD-DVD discs.
It's about time Netflix picked a side, really. Hopefully, this will help beef up Netflix's investment in Blu-ray, because my lone gripe as a longtime Netflix subscriber is the unbelievable "Very Long Wait" availability on the Blu-ray titles I've added to my queue.
I'm not a hyperactive renter. I know that my account isn't being throttled, since I only go through five or six Netflix rentals a month. That makes me a profitable subscriber in Netflix's eyes. It just never made sense to me that Netflix would offer HD-DVD and Blu-ray if it wasn't going to order enough titles to satisfy its users.
If anything, Blu-ray titles are a better investment than conventional DVD alternatives, since Netflix knows that the base of Blu-ray players will only grow in the coming years. Loading up on Live Free or Die Hard and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End on Blu-ray probably won't backfire, even if Apple
Netflix isn't looking to scrap its existing HD-DVD titles, which will stick around until attrition plays itself out. However, Netflix will no longer order new HD-DVD discs.
In short, the battle is over. Blu-ray wins. Now let's hope that the price of the Blu-ray players drops, in order to reach the mainstream market. Let's also hope that Netflix's inventory can keep up on that front, for a change.

Seed Stitch Baby Beanie - Zara Version
Seed Stitch Baby Beanie - Zara Version
For a DK-weight version of our free Seed Stitch Baby Beanie, we turned to Italian-made Filatura di Crosa's Zara. This 100% extra-fine merino has a nice round spin that knits up plump but not heavy. And as a superwash wool, machine washing is a breeze.
Zara's sweet baby colors and classic palette are great for baby all year round. (For an itty-bitty sweater to go with, we love our Easy Peasy Baby Jacket in Zara too.)
Click on "The Free Pattern" tab to see the pattern, then grab your choice (or choices!) of colors (you'll need one skein). It's such a quick and darling knit, and since people keep having babies, we like to keep a little stash ready as gifts.
Newborn: 13–14"/33–36cm circumference x 5¾"/15cm deep.
(Small Child: 15–16"/38–41cm circumference x 6¼"/16cm deep).
Information given for Newborn size; Small Child size given in parentheses ( ).
1 skein Filatura di Crosa Zara (137yd/125m). Shown in color 1490 Dark Denim.
Or approx. 100 (110) yds/92 (100)m of a DK-weight yarn.
US 6 (4mm) 16"/40cm circular and double-point needles, or size to obtain gauge.
1 stitch marker.
Darning needle to finish.
For rolled-edge version only: US 5 (3.75mm) 16"/40cm circular, or one size smaller than gauge needle.
22 sts/44 rounds = 4"/10cm.
See the "Basic Details" tab for size, yarn, needle, and gauge information.
GLOSSARY: K = knit; Tog = together; P = purl; St(s) = stitch(es).
Plain-edge version: Using larger circular needles, cast on 75 (85) sts. Place marker and join in round, being careful not to twist. Proceed to Seed-stitch section.
Rolled-edge version: Using smaller circular needles, cast on 75 (85) sts. Place marker and join in round, being careful not to twist. Knit every round until work measures 1"/2.5cm from cast-on edge, unrolled. Proceed to Seed-stitch section and change to larger needles.
Seed-stitch section (both versions):
Round 1: *P1, K1*, repeat between * * to last stitch, P1.
Round 2: *K1, P1*, repeat to last stitch, K1.
Repeat Rounds 1 & 2 (knitting over purls and purling over knits) until work measures approx. 3¾"/9.5cm (4¼"/10.5cm) from cast-on edge for plain-edge version; or 4¾"/12cm (5¼"/13cm) from cast-on edge for rolled-edge version. End having worked a Round 2.
Decrease rounds: Note: On Decrease rounds, 'work 3Tog' will alternate between P3Tog and K3Tog; work the appropriate decrease to stay in pattern. Pull resulting stitch a little snug to avoid loose decreases. Note also that decreases do not 'stack'; counting stitches between decreases in decrease rounds will ensure proper placement. Change to double-point needles when necessary.
Round 1 (Decrease round): Beginning with P1, *work 12 (14) sts in seed st as established, work 3Tog*; repeat between * * four more times. [65 (75) sts] Rounds 2–4: Work even in seed stitch (NO decreases).
Round 5 (Decrease round): Beginning with P1, *work 10 (12) sts in seed stitch, work 3Tog*; repeat between * * four more times. [55 (65) sts].
Repeat Rounds 2–5 two more times, working two fewer sts between 'work 3Tog' on each Decrease round. [35 (45) sts].
Now repeat Rounds 4 & 5 only until 5 sts remain.
I-cord top (optional): Knit all 5 sts onto one double-point needle; don't turn. *Slide sts back to right end of needle, bring yarn across back firmly and knit 5 sts again.* Repeat between * * until cord is 1"/2.5cm or desired length (to tie a top knot, 2¼"/5.5cm is required).
Finishing: With darning needle, thread tail through all 5 sts; draw tail up tightly. Thread tail down into I-cord or center of plain top; weave in ends on wrong side. (Note: on rolled edge, weave in end on knit side, which is inside of roll). Wet block or steam gently as desired.

text: Trying to find a person last seen 1990ish. As it stands we have a brief description, full name and a date in which he was convicted. We also know which prison he went to. What we dont know is what happened after he left prison his exact age or any previous addresses. Prior to his sentencing we believe he was homeless so if he returned to that we can assume the most likely result of our search is we find a grave. He was in his mid 40's Approx on this conviction. Does anyone know of any websites which have newspaper archives in particular for the Leeds area? Is there a record of deaths which I can access as a member of the public? Anyone have any ideas on how to narrow down the search? All sensible ideas welcome.

chomp strips from its parameter list the contents of $/, which is typically "\n". However, there are at least five Unicode code points that produce a newline (see perluniprops) Also, "\n" means different things on different machines; a file saved on a Windows system will have a different version of "\n" than a file saved on a Unix/Linux system. This could be getting in your way too.

Great sandals!
"I love these sandals! I've had my eye on them for many months and I am completely satisfied with them. I originally wanted them in black, but I'm happy I went with nude. They go great with everything and are very comfortable. I am able to tie them in the front and back, and I wear the ties spread out and up my leg, or bunched around the top of my ankle."

Mr. Blues Lyrics

Album: The Never Before Released Masters
(William "Smokey" Robinson)
Mr. Blues
You are my only companion
Since my baby's gone
Hey, Mr. Blues
You are my lonely companion
Since my baby's gone
How I wish you would go
Away and leave me
Oh, yeah
But I know if you do
I'll be all alone
'Cause you're the only guy
In this whole wide world
That I can call my own
Hey, Mr. Blues
Why did I take you and stay with me
But you've been here every day with me
Since my baby's gone
Oh, Mr. Blues
Although I don't want to hurt you
I know I have to desert you
If my baby comes
If my baby comes
If my baby comes
Hey, Mr. Blues

I had the bugaboo too when Ds1 was 2.5 yrs and Ds2 was born. I tried the skateboard but hated it as I had to stand to the side. I used the sling, but more after he was 6m.
I bought a $200 umbrella double (in front of each other) stroller and it was the best thing ever! Slim enough to get through the shops (only quick shops, I used the double trolleys for big shops) and awesome for trips to the local park.
It wasn't the best pram, but earlier on I did buy/sell a double pram and compared to the bugaboo, it was huge!
(I can't remember the brand of the umbrella double, but the front had a bucket seat and the back reclined from lying to sitting up for new borns onwards.
