Group Buying site fined but 'buyer beware' as Deal sites move into discounted travel
Yesterday, Scoopon Pty Ltd was slapped with $1 million penalties for breaches to consumers and businesses, and ordered to run educational seminars about Australian Consumer Laws to other Daily Deal sites.
Jo Ucukalo, CEO of www.handlemycomplaint.com.au warns against another selling strategy snaring unsuspecting holidaymakers.
The Group Buying industry is now focusing on selling travel deals. However consumers encounter problems after purchasing discounted travel offers then find it difficult to book because of the restrictions on the deal.
Previously, we'd book holidays with a travel agent knowing the full amount before parting with any money. Now, the Internet has made it quick and easy to plan and book directly with travel providers. But online travel deals are a hybrid but don't always play by the rules we know.
'Upfront payment and limited availability tracking mean travellers can be enticed into paying for a more expensive room or forking out for additional airfare costs to book the holiday they thought they had already paid for', said Ms Ucukalo*.
'By taking $1000 first, it's easier for these companies to upsell additional extras and upgrades as travellers have started planning the holiday before these costs are disclosed,' she said.
With two out of every five of travellers admitting to blowing their budget, many may not realise their group buying voucher isn't the discounted deal they bargained for.[1]
'Consumers should know, that they don't need to say 'yes' to all the extra costs only revealed at the time of booking. Rather than paying extra for a holiday, they can ask for a full refund, transaction fees included,' said Ms Ucukalo.

One of England's most respected documentary filmmakers, Kim Longinotto's work has been compared to cinéma-vérité master Frederick Wiseman. She's scrupulous about not spinning the truth, though she does admit to one overriding bias: "I have a problem with authority."
Born in 1952, Longinotto had an unhappy childhood and was sent away to boarding school in her teens, where, because of a minor infraction, she was "sent to Coventry" - not spoken to by classmates for three years. She ran away, had a period of shoplifting, homelessness and, after an illness, ended up at National Film School - which, she has said, saved her life.
Her first film, Pride of Place, shot in black and white on tail ends of film stock while she was still in school, was a scathing look at her old boarding school, which caused her former principal to label her as a "class traitor." Her second film, Theatre Girls, also shot in black-and-white while she was still a student, was a study of a London women's shelter.
I was sitting on the ground with my camera feeling very weird, sort of on auto-pilot, thinking I need a shot of the river to get my scene. My friend, who did the sound on the film, felt morally compromised by filming it and stopped working with me.
Part of Longinotto's distrust for authority includes filmmakers who try to tell viewers what to think. Whether talking to women who live as men in Japan, monitoring an Iraq divorce court or showing us the fight against female circumcision in Kenya, she offers an honest window into the lives of women in critical moments of social transition. Though it's exactly the opposite of the first-person documentary style that has dominated most of the last decade, recently Longinotto's work has begun earning increased international acclaim.
Last year, Rough Aunties, won the Grand Jury Prize for international documentaries at Sundance, and the Museum of Modern Art held a two-week retrospective of her films. This year, she'll receive the Outstanding Achievement Award from the Hot Docs festival, which will be presented in Toronto tonight.
You've been making films for more than 30 years. You seem to use fewer onscreen interviews and less explanatory text as you go along. How do you feel you've evolved?
I'm gradually learning how to tell stories better - how to make a film with a beginning, middle and end. I never wanted to have voice-over and interviews. The main criticism I get from people is that there isn't enough context, not enough facts and figures. But nowadays, you know, if you want more information, you can look it up. Take Sisters in Law [a profile of a woman prosecutor and judge in Cameroon] I could have said at the beginning of the film that there are 280 women out of 600 judges in Cameroon. But they weren't like Vera and Beatrix in my film. If every episode of The Sopranos opened by saying, "There are 3,000 Mafia in New Jersey," well, you'd be thinking about something else instead of experiencing the lives of Tony and his family.
Do you try to establish a relationship with your subjects before you begin filming?
No - that wouldn't work. There are points in a film when you can become too close. There was a scene in Rough Aunties where a little boy drowned. There were two groups of people - the witnesses who were standing apart and the close friends who were comforting the mother. I was sitting on the ground with my camera feeling very weird, sort of on auto-pilot, thinking I need a shot of the river to get my scene. My friend, who did the sound on the film, felt morally compromised by filming it and stopped working with me.
Another disturbing scene is your film about female genital mutilation in Kenya, The Day I Will Never Forget, where we see a little girl is held down and then we hear her screams when she's cut.
It was the most painful thing and I thought, God, what am I doing here? We felt we should be stopping it, getting her out of there and running away with her. But Nurse Fardhosa, who ran the clinic that's the subject of the film, was very clear: We mustn't do anything to interfere and we must trust her.
We were also pushed by the woman who was our Swahili translator, who said: "Kim, I had that done to me. If they can't watch it, they won't understand it."
The women, from South Africa, Japan or Iran, all have a very acute and universal idea of justice, which seems to contradict some ideas about cultural relativism.
Vera [the judge from Sisters in Law]was very clear about that. We attended this United Nations debate together and the woman before her said, "We have to respect culture and tradition. We at the UN work within tradition." Vera said, "My whole life has been spent fighting tradition."
You've made five of 16 feature films in Japan. What was the special attraction?
It started in the late eighties, I read about Hanayagi Genchi, this Japanese entertainer who got eight months in jail for stabbing and wounding the head of her dancing school. When I was really young, I remember seeing a Kurosawa film in which the women were sitting quietly in the background. They would kneel down and touch their fingertips together when they saw the samurai. She was this extraordinary woman, who emerged from the lowest of the low socially, a travelling player, sleeping in bars, who had this brave, revolutionary perspective.
What are you working on now?
I've just shot a film in Northern India about a woman, Sampat Pal Devi, who organized this women's vigilante group called the Gulabi Gang, or Pink Saris, who are trying to change things. I liked Slumdog Millionaire, but I thought the girl was really pretty wet - waiting to be rescued by the guy. India's an emerging superpower but a lot of women's roles are really still pretty crap and this is about some women changing things. My dream is to have it shown in villages in India.Report Typo/Error

The Generous Canned Food Drive
November 18, 2016
Filed under Cope Kids Doing Great Things, Showcase
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Why do we do the canned food drive? We do the canned food drive because there are many people wh
o don't have food during Thanksgiving, so we give them nonperishable food to help. Cope has been doing this generous act of giving canned food to the needy for several years. I recommend that you give canned foods to the needy because it is easy to just buy an 80 cent can of beans and just drop it in a box. Another reason why you should participate is because for example, put yourself in the needy's shoes, if you were needy you would of course love someone for giving you food when you don't have any. These are just some reasons why the canned food drive is important and why you should participate.

I guess you had to be there to know what I mean.
It was one in the morning. The call came in from a group of teenagers who had been down the road a little way, parked in a deserted building's parking lot, rapidly shedding their clothes and getting to know each other better. As any good teenager would do on a hot summer night. The site of their introductory class into physical anatomy was on the outskirts of town in a run down industrial park. At night the place was absolutely deserted. About a half hour ago they heard a car screeching to a halt on the road. They heard two men shouting. They heard a man scream. They heard gunshots. They got scared. One pissed all over the backseat of his buddy's car as he and his girlfriend quickly put their clothes on and thought about leaving as fast as possible. But the buddy who owned the car . . . actually his father's brand new BMW . . . grabbed his cell phone and called the cops.
So here we were. Actually on the way home when the call came in. But we were the only homicide detectives available to take the squawk. Frank Morales, my partner and a carbon-copy of what a Neanderthal should look dressed in slacks, a dark shirt, and a light common sports coat covering his huge set of shoulders, stared with his hands in his pockets down at the body. Grunting, he shook his head sadly and sighed.
"Think he's dead? I think he's dead. Do you think he's dead?"
The guy had been shot in the back of his head with a large caliber weapon. Which meant the bullet had punched a neat hole in the back of the skull as it entered. But what it did coming out through the man's forehead was another story. Let's just say it was messy. Very messy.
"Yeah, I'll take a chance and say he's dead, Frank. But when did you start doing a comedy routine?" I said, looking up at my friend grinning.
"About an hour ago when I actually thought I was going to go to bed tonight while it was still dark. Silly me."
"Lab boys on the way?"
"Won't be here for another half hour, Turn. They're tied up across town on another homicide."

Also, I wanted to do a No Bake version just to simplify it all but without sacrificing quality and taste. Since I know it would be quite rich, I thought of making it individually not only to add some personal touch to each dessert but also perfect for portion control (though I must warn you it is so more-ish, you'll probably want 2!).
I made this the night before and hoped for the best. I was praying that they would love it as I didn't make any other dessert! Thankfully, it was given a very glowing review and I was truly surprised at how much it was well-loved. Hubby, who is no pumpkin fan at all, also totally enjoyed it and made sure I kept 1 or 2 extra glasses for him in the fridge for later!!! Everyone agreed that it was great to have the cheesecakes in cute little individual glasses as they presented nicely and they were also perfect for those who want to enjoy dessert but do it in moderation! Enjoy these party-perfect pumpkin white chocolate cheesecakes!

No Bake Individual Pumpkin White Chocolate CheesecakeBy: Manila Spoon
October 16, 2015
This is seriously a delicious fall or winter treat! With a spiced cookie crust and a layered pumpkin and white chocolate cheesecake that tastes out of this world - it is a winning dessert for the holidays and beyond!
For the crust
- Spiced Cookies (I used Aldi's) roughly 1 1/2 cups when crushed
- 1 Tablespoon Sugar
- 4 Tablespoons unsalted Butter, melted
- 2 (8 oz) block Cream Cheese, softened
- 1 (15 oz) can pure Pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup white Sugar
- 3 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie spice
- 2 teaspoons pure Vanilla Extract
- 1 (7.5 - 8 oz) White Chocolate plus 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 (16 fl oz) Heavy Cream plus 1/4 cup sugar whipped together until thick and creamy
- Combine the crushed cookies, sugar and melted butter in a bowl until moistened and well-blended. Divide the mixture evenly among the glasses. Press the crumbs to the bottom of the glass.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until fluffy and smooth (no more lumps). Adjust the speed to low then add the pumpkin puree, sugar, pumpkin spice and vanilla extract. Beat until everything is smooth and well-blended. While this is going on, melt the chocolate.
- In a heat-proof bowl over barely simmering water, melt the chocolate and butter. Stir often. Let it cool for a couple of minutes afterwards. To the pumpkin mixture add the cooled chocolate. Beat together until well-blended and creamy. If you haven't whipped the cream and sugar yet do it at this point. I am using freshly whipped cream and sugar to ensure that the cream holds up and doesn't flop.
- To assemble, spoon enough pumpkin cheesecake onto the cookie crust. Layer with some freshly whipped cream and then top with another spoon or two of the pumpkin cheesecake. Refrigerate for at least an hour or two to firm up more. May be made a day ahead. Serve on top with a little broken spiced cookie as garnish. Enjoy!

From Harvard sociologist Matthew Desmond, a landmark work of scholarship and reportage that will forever change the way we look at poverty in America.
In this brilliant, heartbreaking book, Matthew Desmond takes us into the poorest neighborhoods of Milwaukee to tell the story of eight families on the edge. Arleen is a single mother trying to raise her two sons on the $20 a month she has left after paying for their rundown apartment. Scott is a gentle nurse consumed by a heroin addiction. Lamar, a man with no legs and a neighborhood full of boys to look after, tries to work his way out of debt. Vanetta participates in a botched stickup after her hours are cut. All are spending almost everything they have on rent, and all have fallen behind.
The fates of these families are in the hands of two landlords: Sherrena Tarver, a former schoolteacher turned inner-city entrepreneur; and Tobin Charney, who runs one of the worst trailer parks in Milwaukee. They loathe some of their tenants and are fond of others, but, as Sherrena puts it, "Love don't pay the bills". She moves to evict Arleen and her boys a few days before Christmas.
Even in the most desolate areas of American cities, evictions used to be rare. But today, most poor renting families are spending more than half of their incomes on housing, and eviction has become ordinary, especially for single mothers. In vivid, intimate prose, Desmond provides a ground-level view of one of the most urgent issues facing America today. As we see families forced into shelters, squalid apartments, or more dangerous neighborhoods, we bear witness to the human cost of America's vast inequality - and to people's determination and intelligence in the face of hardship.
Based on years of embedded fieldwork and painstakingly gathered data, this masterful book transforms our understanding of extreme poverty and economic exploitation while providing fresh ideas for solving a devastating, uniquely American problem. Its unforgettable scenes of hope and loss remind us of the centrality of home, without which nothing else is possible.
"A groundbreaking work.... Desmond delivers a gripping, novelistic narrative.... This stunning, remarkable book - a scholar's 21st-century How the Other Half Lives - demands a wide audience." (Kirkus Reviews)
"Gripping storytelling and meticulous research undergird this outstanding ethnographic study.... Desmond identifies affordable housing as a leading social justice issue of our time and offers concrete solutions to the crisis." (Publishers Weekly)
"Evicted is astonishing - a masterpiece of writing and research that fills a tremendous gap in our understanding of poverty. Taking us into some of America's poorest neighborhoods, Desmond illustrates how eviction leads to a cascade of events, often triggered by something as simple as a child throwing a snowball at a car, that can trap families in a cycle of poverty for years. Beautiful, harrowing, and deeply human, Evicted is a must read for anyone who cares about social justice in this country. I loved it." (Rebecca Skloot, author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks)

Read this powerful book about USA's social justice
Powerful. Depressing. Eye-opening
The epilogue was great to hear what really happened to the author in order to gain the depth of research he obviously reached to publish such an amazing, comprehensive, empathetic story.
This is not fiction - it's real life.
After you read Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption and The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness, read Evicted: Poverty and Profit in the American City. Outstanding real-life stories of the ongoing evictions of Americans happening every day across our country.
Having a roof over your head is central to one's health and happiness, yet millions are evicted every year, causing an ongoing spiral of poverty, poor health, and related unhappiness and mental health. After reading this book, I agree with the amazing research results of Matthew Desmond and others; we need to start a national dialog on homes for all Americans, since a stable home is central to our founding father's wish for all Americans to the "unalienable rights including life, liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness"... building more affordable housing, increasing the minimum wage, or hiring attorneys to represent tenants in eviction court are just some of the ways we can change the ongoing evictions in our country.
Can't recommend this book highly enough.

I am looking for some ideas in regulating internet access by User account. Does anyone have any good ideas? Should I use a hardware or software solution? I do not want to block the internet completely, just limit access for certain users. Your ideas are greatly appreciated.

Assuming you use a Domain environment, we use the Barracuda SPAM/Web Filter for both email server filtering as well as web traffic filtering. The content filters can be adjusted for specific users or even specific Active Directory groups as well. For example your directors can have practicially unrestricted access whereas your janitors or etc would have almost completely restricted access. Works fantastic for us!

Greatly depends on how extreme you want to go and what your budget looks like. I have a St. Bernard iPrism that does this kind of work and a bit more, then there's WebSense, Untangle does some of it for a smaller budget. OpenDNS is a free way to go about it, though if your users have local admin rights any of these solutions will be quite easy to get around.

Something I've done with a kiosk style workstation was to modify the Internet Connection settings within IE. You can completely turn off internet access or allow access to only one site with that function.
Within Control Panel - Internet Options, you can click the Connections tab and then the LAN Settings button. Within that window check to "Use a proxy server..."
The address I use is 127.0.0.1 to redirect internet traffic to the unresponsive local host. If you click the Advanced button you can put the websites you want to allow (ex intranet.company.com) in the exceptions box. This will allow only those sites to be accessible. If you leave it blank, no sites will be accessible.
If you have a Domain, you can put these settings into place via Group Policy for those user accounts that will limit those individual user's internet access no matter where they logon, while the other user's settings will not be impacted. I did this by creating an Organizational Unit within my Active Directory (ie Kiosk) and put the user accounts within that OU. Apply the Group Policy only to that OU and the users within it will have the settings applied.
I made a How-To with some supporting screenshots on how to do this. http:/

Foundation Systems of Michigan is committed to customer service and is proud to serve our area. We have a certified team of technicians that are ready to help you find the best solution using quality products from the best manufacturers in the business. We want to work with you so that you can have the best results for your home!
Problems with your basement's waterproofing often stem from smaller problems like leaky pipes, sump pump failure, or flooding during heavy rainfall. We offer proven, patented products that are sure to turn your wet, water damaged basement into an energy-efficient space that you can enjoy. Some of the major signs of a basement waterproofing problem are:
Whether it's cracks in your walls or floors, we have the products that will provide a quality long lasting solution. Our special polyurethane sealant is fast acting and won't dry out or crack over time, making it the superior choice for your home. Our epoxies are able to bend and stretch along with the movement of your foundations, allowing it to shrink or expand slightly as your walls do.
Problems with foundations often stem from broken soil or soil that has been weakened to the point where it can no longer support the weight of the structure. Some of the major signs of foundation problems are:
When this happens, the best thing to do to remedy the problem is to install foundation piers and jack posts which will fix uneven, sloped floors. Additionally, wall anchors and I-Beam wall braces can correct walls that are leaning or bowing inwardly.
Does your crawl space have a musty smell, wood rot, or sagging floors above it? Then you need to call in the professionals at Foundation Systems of Michigan to provide you with an expert solution, using proven, patented products. Our crawl space encapsulation system, which includes vapor barriers, thermal insulation and dehumidifiers, is sure to seal out humidity and bugs while sealing in good air, keeping the space clean as well as energy-efficient.
If you've noticed mold on your support beams, it can be one of two things: surface mold or wood rot. While surface mold can be repaired and scraped off, wood rot cannot be repaired so easily and often requires that the entire beam be replaced. With our crawl space jack posts that work to add extra support to failing beams, you can provide a solution to sagging floors.
Foundation Systems of Michigan has the tools and the expertise to get your job done right the first time. When you call our friendly staff and certified, trained technicians, we will go to work to find a solution that will not only fit your home, but also your budget. Call us today for a free estimate!
We have 2 locations to better serve Michigan: Livonia & Traverse City

Wonder if this can be done as a plugin. Been playing with the code tonight and have made some adjustments to the Nav Bar.
Added the search button to the nav bar
Moved Community to the last spot on nav bar
Removed the alert buttons from the nav bar since they are already down below.
If anyone wants to work on this with me let me know I already the code that needs to be altered. Just don't know how to translate that into plugin.
@SW I'm guessing the API's for the plugins will need to be updated to be able to use them in SW6

Montenegrin Trade Specialization Index
Montenegro, newly independent since 2006, saw its commodity exports collapse in the worldwide financial crisis of 2008. It took three years for the volume of its exports to recover. Using one to four-digit Standard Industrial Trade Classification (SITC) commodity trade data, this paper analyzes trade patterns as they evolve, both globally, and within individual product sectors, since independence to the year 2012. The Kellman – Shachmurove Trade Specialization Index (TSI) is employed to study the degree of the Montenegrin specialization. The paper warns about high degree of specialization with overreliance on commodity exports of aluminum alloys.

This morning we were lucky enough to be served a pancake breakfast by our wonderful parent group. While the parents were making the pancakes Ms. Lirenman remembered that one us had wondered about how to make pancakes on our class Wonder Wall. So Ms. Lirenman brought her down to where the pancakes were being made so that she would see for herself. Needless to say she came back to class with a smile, having just had one of her wonders explained. Thank you parents for a wonderful breakfast this morning.
We are five, six, seven, and eight year old children in Ms. Lirenman's class in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. Join us as we share some of our learning with you.

The core of an X100 is a low-power 32-bit Microcontroller with firmware specifically designed to meet the standards of the scientific community. The X100 is also primed with high-resolution ADC and DAC controllers to enable high resolution readings of both Voltage and Current. This potent combination of hardware and software is enabling scientists around the world to accelerate their work.
There are not many requirements to use the X100. The most important requirements are in regard to accessing the device.
The X100 also requires another device to control the functionality of the board, which can be fulfilled by any device that supports either USB serial ports, such as, a Windows, Mac OSX or Linux device. A device that can connect to others over a TCP socket connection can also be used.
The X100 requires an 18V power supply to the barrel jack onboard to power the analogue circuitry onboard. A power supply fitting this description should be provided along with the X100 so this requirement should remain satisfied unless you lose access to the power supply. The USB connection on the X100 does not draw any power and as such even if you are only using the digital functionality of the X100 you will need to connect the full power supply.
The X100 should be connected to a network supporting 10/100Mbps transmission to operate over the network. DHCP must also be running on the network, and available to the X100 for the device to operate properly over the network. Although the majority of networks operate DHCP, to check if DHCP is running on your network you should attempt to connect a device to the network as you would the X100. If the device automatically obtains an IP address then DHCP is working correctly.
To use USB on the Xtralien, your controlling device should support USB communication. A USB-B cable is supplied, which will support the majority of computers on the market. The X100 should support every USB version, however, we recommend using a USB 2.0 port or above, as this will provide the best speeds for you.
Getting Started
When using the X100 there are a few things to keep in mind so that you can make the most of your time.
The board takes an 18V input that can supply a minimum of 1.5A, this is required for the board to be powered. Because there is no power connection for the USB, the board will not power on if only USB is connected.
Range Headers
Ranges allow for an order of magnitude increase in measurement accuracy and precision. There are currently 5 ranges available, between 1 and 5.
When using any range on a SMU you should set the range accordingly, both in hardware and software. Changing the range is important because every range is calibrated seperately, enabling maximum accuracy and precision when using your X100.
Changing the header is simple and consists of either moving the red header to the correct range, or switching on all of the switches up until the intended range.
To connect to the device please ensure that the device is powered from the provided power supply, then either connect a USB cable between the device and your computer.
To connect to the device over Ethernet you need to plug an Ethernet (RJ-45) cable to the same network as the device that you wish to access. When turned on the device will attempt to connect to the network automatically and will display an IP address on the screen if it succeeds.
If the device fails to connect you should contact your local network manager and ask them about setting up DHCP on your network, although this is usually already in place.
You can then connect using any standard TCP socket. After this, communication with the device is conducted through ascii-encoded strings over the TCP socket.
If you cannot connect to the device over Ethernet please ensure that the device and your computer are on the same network. Please also ensure that the Ethernet cable isn't connected directly between the device and your computer, unless you are comfortable configuring your computer to act as a router.
When connecting over USB on a Windows device you should make sure that the Drivers are installed. You can download the drivers by visiting http://files.ossila.com/X100-Driver.zip, after which you should extract the zip file and run the installer located inside. This will install drivers from the Arduino environment, which is compatiable with the device.
For Mac OSX and Linux users you should simply be able to connect without the need to download or install any drivers.
Afterwards, any drivers have installed you should be able to connect the device to your computer using the included Micro-USB cable.
On Windows the device should appear as a Serial Device, usually as a
COM port, and can be accessed as a Serial port, using ascii-encoded strings. On Mac OSX the device will appear as a Serial Device, and is usually accessible as a file such as
/dev/cu.usbmodem1411. On most Linux distributions the device will appear as a file accessible at a path similar to
Before we send you your X100 we run extensive tests to verify that it is stable and working. However sometimes you may have issues connecting to and using the X100. Most of the issues that may arise will be detailed here, however, if there is any issue that isn't detailed that you encounter then please don't hesitate to contact us and we will respond as soon as possible.
Due to a large variety of network conditions, it is hard to test how the device will work in every environment. During internal testing we have found that most SME and university networks may work automatically. However, if this is not the case then you will likely need to contact your local network administrator.
My device is showing an IP address of 0.0.0.0 on the screen
This will happen if the device detects a working Ethernet connection, but cannot connect to any network successfully. The usual cause for this will be where the MAC address needs to be reistered with your internal network before an IP address will be assigned to you. If you can do this yourself you will need to use the MAC address shown on the screen when there is no Ethernet cable connected.
This may also happen if you attempt to connect an Ethernet cable directly between your computer and the X100 unless your computer is set to act as a router.
My device does not connect to the network
When the board is not connecting to the network it is usually because no network is detected. The likely cause of this is that the Ethernet cable is not securely connected to either the device, or to the Ethernet port on the network.
It is also possible that this issue is due to a faulty cable, so please check the Ethernet cable that you use is working with another device.
The USB connection capabilities of the board should work easily for most. However, some additional steps may be required in some scenarios.
If USB does not work when connected there may be a few possible issues.
The USB cable is not connected to a working USB port
If the USB cable is not connected then to remedy the issue please ensure that the cable is securely connected at both ends.
The device is not detected
When using Windows, if the drivers are not installed the board may be unrecognized, and as such you may be unable to communicate with it. To remedy this issue you should install the drivers, as mentioned in the Getting Started section. You may need administrator permisssions to install the drivers correctly, so please ensure that the driver installation succeeded before moving further.
This has not appeared to be an issue for either Mac OSX or Linux environments so far, however if this changes please do not hesitate to contact us.
The cable is defective
Although we test every cable before dispatch, there may be some instances where a faulty cable arrives with your X100. If this happens then we apologise profusely. Any micro-USB cable should work in the interim, but please contact us if neccesary.
Hardware Documentation
Source Measure Units SMU1 & SMU2
The source measure units output a voltage and then measure both the voltage and current. The output voltage is always measured on the output to the BNC rather than assuming it is at the set voltage in case of any load effects (for example short circuiting the output or low impedances causing a small drop in voltage). Each source measure unit has manually selectable ranges so that both large and small currents can be measured with accuracy.

Function Documentation
The firmware of the X100 works by registering functions onto a router that works by registering functions to strings, which are called when the string is recieved.
The command parser uses a customised version of the standard
printf format that you may be familiar with from other languages. It is restricted to certain types, to enable ease of programming.
Expected response formats
Any response that returns is expected to return the newline character (\n) after the data has finished transferring.
Any command that does not return any data will also not return a newline.
An Integer is any whole number, e.g. 1, 2, 3.
Where Integer types are accepted or returned there is usually a wrapping that applies. This means that if you attempt to set range 7 when there are 6 ranges then you will set range 1,
7 modulo 6 = 1.
Floats are Floating point numbers, usually represented as a
double type in firmware.
When represented in text this is usually in Scientific notation. The
%g format.
The Boolean type is special because there isn't a
scanf format equivalent. There are multiple types that can represent a Boolean.
Arrays in CLOI are special in that they are represented using MATLAB's array syntax. This means that Arrays are within square brackets and each entry is seperated by a semicolon.
In CLOI a Matrix is denoted using standard MATLAB Matric syntax. This means that the Matrix seperates entries using a semicolon, and seperates the properties of an entry with commas. Unless otherwise stated, it can be assumed that when a Matrix is returned it will be a Matrix of Float types.
Due to CLOI's syntax, when a String is specified as an input it is a series of characters that end with a space character. Any other character should be accepted where a String is specified. When a String is specified as a return format any String of characters can be returned.
Some commands provide an Interactive response. As this changes between commands, the format will be specified in the description for each command.
When the documentation tells you that a function returns None, that simply means that the function will not return any data. This includes a newline character, as mentioned above.
IP address
The IP address type is simple, it is a standard IPv4 address type, (Integer.Integer.Integer.Integer). Where each Integer is between 0 and 255.
IPv6 addresses are not supported so please ensure that if using an IPv6 network you also allow IPv4-only devices.
MAC address
The MAC address type is the standard Hexadecimal MAC address. This consists of six pairs of Hexadecimal characters seperated by colons (AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF).
The Version type is the way of describing the version number of a module, and uses the semantic versioning syntax to enable peace of mind when deciding wether to upgrade.
The full description of semantic versioning can be found at the link http://semver.org.
CLOI is the Command Language for Open Instruments, and is the core that runs the X100.
The main module provides the interface to all of the other instruments in the system, including the SMUs onboard, the Voltage senses and the trigger.
All functions that are directed towards CLOI have the prefix

The X100 has one BNC connected to a digital shutter line on the core ARM chip that when on will produce a 5 Volt signal. This BNC connector is also linked to the
trigger functionality and as such only one can be used at a time.
shutter Boolean
Boolean - Set the shutter to the given value
Expected response format - None
Sets the shutter to either On (5V) or Off (Ground)
The trigger functionality allows for some level of control over the synchronisation of multiple devices.
trigger wait
Expected response format - None
This command accepts no arguments and returns no value.
When running the command the device will block, not allowing any further commands to run until the trigger line changes, either from low to high or high to low. This allows a user to send another command that will be run whenever the trigger line changes. In combination with the
shutter commands on another board it is possible to use this behaviour to synchronise actions on multiple X100 boards.
The trigger line is a digital line and conflicts with the
shutter, hence the modules cannot both be used at the same time.
The ethernet onboard the X100 has some basic CLOI support to enable access to the most commonly used functionality, such as resending a DHCP request.
eth0 connect
Expected response format - None
This command will start a DHCP request to request a new IP address. The function returns no value as the request is run through an internal command, however, an easy way to check if this function succeeded is to check for an IP address.
eth0 ip
Expected response format - 192.168.1.2
Returns the assigned IP address.
If the ethernet is disconnected, or if the board has not been assigned an IP address then the returned result will likely be either
0.0.0.0 or
255.255.255.255, which are both invalid addresses and as such indicate failure to connect.
eth0 mac
Expected response format - AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
Returns the MAC address for the board in standard hex-pairs format.
This module provides low-level access to the EEPROM on board the X100.
eeprom size
Expected response format - Integer
Returns the size of the onboard EEPROM in Bytes.
eeprom get Integer
Integer - EEPROM index
Expected response format - Integer
Returns the unsigned 8-bit Integer value stored at the given Integer memory index.
IO interface
Due to the intersections between the controller that we use and the Arduino community, some functions been added to allow compatiability with some basic arduino functions.
io digital read Integer
Integer - Arduino-mapped pin
Expected response format - Boolean
Read the value on the given digital input pin.
io digital write Integer Boolean
Integer - Arduino-mapped pin
Boolean - Value to set
Expected response format - None
Set the given value onto the given digital pin.
io analog read Integer
Integer - Arduino-mapped pin
Expected response format - Float
Read the current analog value for the given pin.
io analog write Integer Float
Integer - Arduino-mapped pin
Float - Value to set
Expected response format - None
Set the given value onto the given analog pin.
io set string Integer
String - Pin mode
Integer - Arduino-mapped pin
Expected response format - None
Set the pin to the given mode, out of the following options.
In the above,
pullup reflects the
INPUT_PULLUP option in arduino.
Top level commands
All of the top level commands featured here do not belong to any specific module and so have been attached to the top level.
Expected response format - Version
Returns the firmware version. This is the definitive version number, as some of the other modules may revert between firmware updates to remove any issues as they are discovered.
Expected response format - String.
This returns the serial No. of the board in hexadecimal bytes.
product id
Expected response format - String.
Returns the product ID of the board "X-100".
board no
Expected response format - String.
Returns the number of the board (xxx).
temp read
Expected response format - String.
Returns the temperature measurement of the onboard sensor in 0C.
Expected response format - None
Warning: This will reset all variables that have not been saved
Reset the board remotely.
Introduction to programming with the X100
Programming the X100 is simple in many programming langauges, with examples currently provided for Python, LabView, Matlab and Java, with more under development.
The core concept when communicating with the X100 device is that all data is communicated using simple ASCII strings, over both a network connection and the serial connection.
When using the Serial connection with windows please note that the drivers must be installed.
The cloi library
We have created a library for Python that enables a very simple, powerful interface to the X100, enabling features like automatically returning data in a useful format, as well as providing a simple way to write code that executes asynchronously.
This allows you to write code that runs multiple experiments at a single time from a single program.
Hello World from CLOI
A simple hello world example for communication with the X100 is below and utilises the
cloi library that we have created to jumpstart your workflow.
Asynchronous Hello World
To demonstrate the simple asynchronous functionality that we have built into the
cloi library, below is a Hello world example that will run in the background.
Measuring a Voltage and Current
Below is a simple Matlab example that provides an instance of measuring setting a voltage and measuring both Voltage and Current.

This is the most comprehensive presentation available of the taxonomy of the complicated neo-tropical palm group, Attaleinae. Sidney Glassman's valuable compilation takes the place of earlier piece-meal taxonomies on this group, which has attracted considerable attention due to its economic importance, large stature, complex morphology, paucity of collections for a number of species, and apparent predilection to form hybrids. Enhanced by extensive notes from herbarium, field, and laboratory studies along with numerous photographs, charts, and other illustrations, Glassman's taxonomy provides an important baseline for future work on the Attaleinae.

I searched the web for a good easy & free way to get hotmail on my iPhone... tried IzyMail but in the end that wasnt free either... so this is what I found & its working even with the FREE hotmail account.
Basically this work around enables you to forward your emails from a non-premium hotmail account to any email address.
PLEASE NOTE: this trick does involve a minor cost of 20p GBP (depending on your network, i am on T-mobile UK) if the instructions are followed precisely. It does not cost any more than that. I am not responsible for any additional costs that you might incur in the unlikely even that you werent able to follow the steps as illustrated below.
This is how it works:
1. Go to your hotmail inbox and click on "Options" and then "More Options"
2. Click on "Mobile Alerts for new messages".
3. Click on Sign up for Windows Live Mobile - it's free and easy!
4. Select your service provider
5. Enter your mobile number
6. Finish the rest of the sign-up process. Don't check the boxes for Hotmail alerts and MSN alerts!
7. In the sign-up settings specify to NOT receive any SMS alerts for Hotmail messages. Leave the other settings to stay as specified in your Hotmail account.
8. Finish the subscription. You'll now receive an activation SMS with a 4 digit code. Enter this code on the activation page. This is the only sms you'll receive and pay through your mobile carrier.
9. After the subscription visit your Hotmail account with your web browser. Now go to "options"=>"more options".
10. In the section "Customize your mail" go to option "mobile alerts for new messages" and make sure the option "None. Never send me mobile alerts" is selected. You will never receive any alert sms by setting this option so you will stay free of charges! Press save.
11. In the section "Manage your account" visit "Forward mail to another e-mail account".
12. Fill in any e-mail address you want you Hotmail to be forwarded to, for instance your Gmail account. Press save and confirm the setting by clicking the link in the e-mail that has been sent to your Gmail account. The setting has now been accepted by Hotmail!
14. Go to Gmail. Click on Settings, go to Forwarding and POP/IMAP
15. Enable IMAP. Save the changes.
16. Click Settings and then Accounts, Select "Add another email address". Enter your hotmail address here.
18. Your hotmail address should now show up just above the line. Select the hotmail address as "Make default".
19. Make sure in the option "When I receive a message sent to one of my addresses" has "Always reply from my default address (currently [email protected]" is selected.
20. Now go to Hotmail. In your inbox, there should be a message from Gmail; you need to click on a link in that message.
Job done !
All you now go to do is go to your iPhone's default mail handler & setup the google account that you have used in the above process.
With this solution in place:
* Email people send to your Hotmail address will be visible on your iPhone in the built-in iPhone Mail software.
* If you reply to a message on the iPhone or in Gmail, to your recipients it will look like it came from your Hotmail address.
* You can still check mail using Hotmail on the web if you like.
* You can also log into Gmail and see your Hotmail messages there.
* An added bonus is that you will benefit from Gmail's junk mail filter, which is excellent.
* Since Gmail supports IMAP, the iPhone and the Gmail mailbox is synced nicely as you read, delete and filter messages.
Once again! If you make any wrong settings, you might receive mobile sms alerts and it'll cost you! Pay attention to what you're doing. It's your responsibility to make the right settings!
Good luck & Have fun...
