Belinda Maxwell signed Rebuild The USA Petition via Belinda Maxwell 2017-06-25 17:41:36 -0400Belinda Maxwell
PETITION: Congress, Suck it up & Move On—It's time to Rebuild the Country
The text of the petition was updated slightly on 7/24/17 to better reflect current events.
We the undersigned, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents, call upon our Senators and Representatives to immediately start acting on our behalf based on the following statements, principles and political program:2,414 signatures
Our statements and principles:
1. Donald Trump was elected President because he addressed forgotten Americans, promised to revitalize and modernize the manufacturing and productive economy of the United States, and committed himself to end the ceaseless, deadly, and purposeless foreign wars of the last decades.
2. He was not elected because Russians manipulated social media accounts or otherwise suckered the American people into voting for him. This claim is an arrogant insult to the millions of very intelligent people who voted for Donald Trump. Watching the day-to-day media hysteria, any rational observer is horrified, not at what the President actually did, but at the media and select politicians who seem to have gone collectively insane and now demand that the rest of us join them.
3. The heritage of the failed Bush and Obama Administrations together with the insurrection against the President, has left the country divided and is now paralyzing political progress. The media falsely portrays the division as permanent, dividing the country into militant camps of "resisters" and "defenders" conducting what purports to be human speech in the form of animal grunts and reactively shouted obscenities. This is not reality.
4. The President promised to reinstate the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act, to create a modern productive economy based on manufacturing and large scale infrastructure projects, to return to fundamental scientific discovery and space exploration, and to end wars on behalf of the security interests of others. This is the unified political program with which most Americans agree.
5. On the other side of the world, at the Belt and Road Summit in Beijing, on May 14-15, 2017, a new and exciting reality came into being. China and 67 other nations have launched the largest infrastructure-building project ever undertaken in human history. It will lift millions out of poverty and will provide millions of productive jobs, including, potentially, here in the United States. President Trump has wisely begun negotiations for the United States and for U.S. companies to join this great project. Despite official Washington's freakout, the President has also forged relationships with Russia and others which could result in peace and save millions of lives in regions of the world now engulfed and destroyed by war.
6. The President's economic promises, however, remain dangerously unfulfilled. Our infrastructure is collapsing all around us, a new Wall Street corporate debt bubble looms on the horizon promising a collapse worse than 2008, and our population is gripped by an opium epidemic and the despair which arises from the jobless and non-productive "recovery."
7. These promises must now be fulfilled. We need a new Glass-Steagall Act to prevent another Wall Street collapse and bailout. We need a public credit system, like Alexander Hamilton used, to fund and build modern infrastructure throughout the nation, a platform for developing this country over the next 50 years. We need to fund NASA and return to space exploration and development of advanced energy sources, such as fusion—making fundamental scientific and technological discoveries and exciting the imaginations and creativity of our population.
Therefore, we pledge to make these promises a reality. Until we have generated a true economic recovery, Congress should focus on nothing else domestically. Negotiating U.S. participation in China's Belt and Road great project for the world should be our foreign policy preoccupation. In 50 years, where should our nation be? This is the potential reality which must occupy us now.
So, Congress, really, suck it up, move on, start rebuilding this country. If you resist, we pledge that you will face an electoral drubbing in 2018, the likes of which no one has ever before seen.
Belinda Maxwell signed Four Laws Petition via Adam Sturman 2017-05-05 20:01:00 -0400Belinda Maxwell
The U.S. needs Win-Win Development, Implement LaRouche's Four Laws and Join China's New Silk Road1,250 signatures
President Donald Trump and the 115th Congress must implement LaRouche's Four Laws for an economic recovery and join China's New Silk Road program for global cooperation and 'win-win' economic development.
Our goal is 50,000 Signatures. We'll deliver them to Congress when we reach 10k, 25k and 50k signatures!
To: President Trump and Members of Congress
We, the undersigned, recognize that the transatlantic financial system is on the verge of a new blowout, worse than that of 2007-2008. The conditions of life for the vast majority of Americans have been steadily collapsing over the past two decades. U.S. economic policy has focused on protecting Wall Street's speculative bubble, instead of protecting the general welfare and future posterity of the American people. We recognize that emergency action is now needed to preempt a new financial crisis, and to put Americans back to work rebuilding our nation and our future.
To accomplish this, we ask President Donald Trump and the 115th Congress to pass and implement LaRouche's Four Laws program for economic recovery on an emergency basis, and to join China's New Silk Road program for global cooperation in large-scale infrastructure projects and economic development.
The Four Laws define a coherent economic recovery program, rooted in the American System of economics:
1. Reinstate Franklin Roosevelt's original Glass-Steagall law, separating commercial lending activities from Wall Street speculation
2. Return to a Hamiltonian system of national banking
3. Direct federal credit to projects and initiatives which create rising levels of productivity and incomes
4. Launch a crash program for the development of fusion power and the rapid expansion of our space program.
The American economic recovery will be greatly accelerated if the United States joins the global infrastructure and economic development renaissance flowing from China's New Silk Road program.

Charlieplexing LEDs- the Theory
Introduction: Charlieplexing LEDs- the Theory
This instructable is less a build you're own project and more a description of the theory of charlieplexing. It's suitable for people with the basics of electronics, but not complete beginners. I've written it in response to the many questions I've gotten in my previously published Instructables.
What is 'Charlieplexing'? It is driving lots of LEDs with only a few pins. In case you're wondering Charlieplexing is named after Charles Allen at Maxim who developed the technique.
This can be useful for lots of things. You may need to display status information on a small microcontroller, but only have a few pins spare. You may want to show a fancy dot matrix or clock display but don't want to use lots of components.
Some other projects demonstrating charlieplexing you may want to look at are:
How to drive a lot of LEDs from a few microcontroller pins.
by Westfw :- https://www.instructables.com/id/ED0NCY0UVWEP287ISO/
And a couple of my own projects,
The Microdot watch:- https://www.instructables.com/id/EWM2OIT78OERWHR38Z/
The Minidot 2 clock:- https://www.instructables.com/id/E11GKKELKAEZ7BFZAK/
Another cool example of the use of charlieplexing is at:
The Minidot 2 clock introduces an advanced charlieplexing scheme for fading/dimming which won't be discussed here.
UPDATE 19 August 2008 : I've added a zip file with a circuit that may be able to exploit the matrix charliplexing for high power LEDs discussed (at length :) ) in the comments section. It has a pushbutton + position encoder to do a user interface, plus circuitry for either USB or RS232 computer control. Each of the high side voltage rails can be set to one of two voltages, say 2.2V for RED LEDs and 3.4V for green/blue/white. The voltage for the high side rails can be set by trimpot. I'd envisage that a 20wire IDC ribbon cable be plugged into the board, and 20pin IDC connectors added along the length of the ribbon, each LED board having links to whatever wires in the matrix are desired. The circuit is in Eagle Cad and rendered in the sub image below. The high side circuit is implemented by using optocouplers which I think might be suitable.
I haven't actually tested this circuit nor written any software because of lack of time, but have put it up for comment, I'm particularly interested in the optocoupler implementation. Anyone brave enough to give it a go...please post your results.
UPDATE 27th August 2008: For those not using EagleCad....added below is a pdf of the schematic
Step 1: Some LED Theory
Charlieplexing relies on a number of useful aspects of LEDs and modern microcontrollers.
Firstly what happens when you connect an LED to electricity.
The main diagram below shows what is called the If v Vf curve of a typical 5mm low power LED.
If stands for 'forward current'
Vf stands for 'forward voltage'
The vertical axis in otherwords shows the current that will flow through an LED if you put the horizontal axis voltage across it's terminals. It works the other way around as well, if you measure that the current is of some value, you can look across to the horizontal axis and see the voltage the LED will present across it's terminals.
The second diagram shows a schematic representation of an LED with If and Vf labelled.
From the main diagram I've also labelled areas of the graph that are of interest.
- The first area is where the LED is 'off'. More accurately the LED is emitting light so dimly you won't be able to see it unless you had some sort of super-duper image intensifier.
- The second area has the LED just slightly emitting a dim glow.
- The third area is where an LED is usually operated and is emitting light at the manufacturers rating.
- The forth area is where an LED is operated beyond it's operating limits, is probably glowing very brightly but alas for only a short time before the magic smoke inside escapes and it won't operate again......ie in this area it burns out because too much current flows through it.
Note that the If/Vf curve or operating curve of the LED is a 'non-linear' curve. That is, it is not a straight line...it has a bend or kink in it.
Lastly this diagram is for a typical 5mm red LED designed to operate at 20mA. Different LEDs from different manufacturers have different operating curves. For example in this diagram at 20mA the forward voltage of the LED will be approximately 1.9V. For a blue 5mm LED at 20mA the forward voltage might be 3.4V. For a high power white luxeon LED at 350mA the forward voltage might be around 3.2V. Some LEDs packages might be several LEDs in series or in parallel, changing the Vf/If curve again.
Typically a manufactuer will specify an operating current which is safe to use the LED at, and the forward voltage at that current. Usually (but not always) you get a graph similiar to below in the datasheet. You need to look at the datasheet for the LED to determine what the forward voltage is at different operating currents.
Why is this graph so important? Because it shows that when a voltage is across the LED, the current that will flow will be according to the graph. Lower the voltage and less current will flow.....and the LED will be 'off'. This is part of the theory of charlieplexing, which we'll get to in the next step.
Step 2: The Laws (of Electronics)
Still not yet at the magic of charlieplexing yet....we need to go to some basics of electronics laws.
The first law of interest states that the total voltage across any series of connected components in an electrical circuit is equal to the sum of the individual voltages across the components. This is shown in the main diagram below.
This is useful when using LEDs because your average battery or microcontroller output pin will never be exactly the right voltage to run your LED at the recommended current. For example a microcontroller will typically run at 5V and it's output pins will be at 5V when on. If you just connect an LED to the output pin of the micro, you'll see from the operating curve in the previous page too much current will flow in the LED and it will get hot and burn out (probably damaging the micro as well).
However if we introduce a second component in series with the LED we can subtract some of the 5V so that the voltage left is just right to run the LED at the proper operating current.
This is typically a resistor, and when used in this way is called a current limiting resistor. This method is used very commonly and leads to what is called 'ohms law'....so named after Mr Ohm.
Ohms law follows the equation V = I * R where V is the voltage that will appear across a resistance R when a current I is flowing through the resistor. V is in volts, I is in amps and R is in ohms.
So if we have 5V to spend, and we want 1.9V across the LED to get it to run at 20mA then we want the resistor to have 5-1.9=3.1V across it. We can see this in the second diagram.
Because the resistor is in series with the LED, the same current will flow through the resistor as the LED, ie 20mA. So rearranging the equation we can find the resistance we need to make this work.
substituting the values in our example we get:
R = 3.1 / 0.02 = 155ohms
(note 20mA = 0.02Amps)
Still with me so far...cool. Now look at diagram 3. It has the LED sandwiched between two resistors. According to the first law mentioned above, we have the same situation at the second diagram. We have 1.9V across the LED so it is running according to it's spec sheet. We also have each resistor subtracting 1.55V each (for a total of 3.1). Adding the voltages together we have
5V (the microcontroller pin) = 1.55V (R1) + 1.9V (the LED) + 1.55V (R2) and everything balances out.
Using ohms law we find the resistors need to be 77.5 ohms each, which is half the amount calculated from the second diagram.
Of course in practice you'd be hard pressed to find a 77.5ohm resistor, so you'd just substitute the nearest available value, say 75ohms and end up with a little more current in the LED or 82ohms to be safe and have a little less.
Why on earth should we be doing this resistor sandwhich to drive a simple LED.....well if you have one LED it's all a bit silly, but this is an instructable on charlieplexing and it comes in handy for the next step.
Step 3: Introducing 'complementary Drive'
Another name that is more accurate to describe 'charlieplexing' is 'complementary drive'.
In your average microcontroller you can in firmware tell the micro to set an output pin to be either a '0' or a '1', or to present a 0V voltage at the output or a 5V voltage at the output.
The diagram below now shows the sandwiched LED with a reversed partner....or a complement LED, hence complementary drive.
In the first half of the diagram, the micro is outputting 5V to pin A, and 0V to pin B. The current will thus flow from A to B. Because LED2 is oriented backwards to LED1 no current will flow through it and it will not glow. It's what is called reverse biased. We have the equivalent of the situation in the previous page. We can basically ignore LED2. Arrows show the current flow.
An LED is essentially a diode (hence Light Emitting Diode). A diode is a device that allows current to flow in one direction, but not in the other. The schematic of an LED sort of shows this, current will flow in the direction of the arrow......but is blocked the other way.
If we instruct the micro to now output 5V to pin B and 0V on pin A we have the opposite. Now LED1 is reverse biased, LED2 is forward biased and will allow current flow. LED2 will glow and LED1 will be dark.
Now might be a good idea to look at the schematics of the various projects mentioned in the introduction. You should see a whole lot of these complementary pairs in a matrix. Of course in the example below we are driving two LEDs with two microcontroller pins....you could say why bother.
Well the next section is where we get to the guts of charlieplexing and how it makes an efficient use of a microcontrollers output pins.
Step 4: Finally....a Charlieplex Matrix
As mentioned in the introduction, charliplexing is a handy way of driving lots of LEDs with only a few pins on a microcontroller. However in the previous pages we've not really saved any pins,driving two LEDs with two pins....big whoop!
Well we can extend the idea of complentary drive into a charlieplex matrix. The diagram below shows the minimum charlieplex matrix consisting of three resistors and six LEDs and using only three microcontroller pins. Now do you see how handy this method is? If you wanted to drive six LEDs in the normal way....you'd need six microcontroller pins.
In fact with N pins of a microcontroller you can potentially drive N * (N - 1) LEDs.
For 3 pins this is 3 * (3-1) = 3 * 2 = 6 LEDs.
Things stack up quickly with more pins. With 6 pins you can drive 6 * (6 - 1) = 6 * 5 = 30 LEDs....wow!
Now to the charlieplexing bit.
Look at the diagram below. We have three complementary pairs, one pair between a each combination of micro output pins. One pair between A-B, one pair between B-C and one pair between A-C.
If you disconnected pin C for now we'd have the same situation as before. With 5V on pin A and 0V on pin B, LED1 will glow, LED2 is reverse biased and will not conduct current. With 5V on pin B and 0V on pin A LED2 will glow and LED1 is reverse biased.
This follows for the other micro pins.
If we disconnected pin B and set pin A to 5V and pin C to 0V then LED5 would glow. Reversing so that pin A is 0V and pin C is 5V then LED6 would glow.
Same for the complementary pair between pins B-C.
Hang on, I hear you say. Lets look at the second case a bit more closely.
We have 5V on pin A and 0V on pin C. We've disconnected pin B (the middle one).
OK, so a current flows through LED5, current isn't flowing through LED6 because it is reverse biased (and so are LED2 and LED4)....but there is also a path for the current to take from pin A, through LED1 and LED3 isn't there? Why are these LEDs not glowing as well.
Here is the heart of the charlieplexing scheme. Indeed there is a current flowing both LED1 and LED3, however the voltage across the both of these combined is only going to be equal to the voltage across LED5. Typically they would have half the voltage across them that LED5 has. So if we have 1.9V across LED5, then only 0.95V will be across LED1 and 0.95V across LED3.
From the If/Vf curve mentioned at the beginning of this article we can see that the current at this half voltage is much much lower than 20mA.....and those LEDs will not glow visibly.
This is known as current stealing.
Thus most of the current will flow though the LED we want, the most direct path through the least number of LEDs (ie one LED), rather than any series combination of LEDs.
If you looked at the current flow for any combination of putting 5V and 0V on any two drive pins of the charlieplex matrix, you'll see the same thing. Only one LED will glow at a time.
As an exercise, look at the first situation. 5V on pin A and 0V on pin B, disconnect pin C. LED1 is the shortest route for the current to take, and LED 1 will glow. A small current will also pass through LED5, then back up LED4 to pin B.....but again, these two LEDs in series will not be able to syphon enough current compared to LED 1 to glow brightly.
Thus the power of charlieplexing is realised. See the second diagram which is the schematic for my Microdot watch.....30 LEDs, with only 6 pins. My Minidot 2 clock is basically an expanded version of the Microdot....same 30 LEDs arranged in an array.
To make a pattern in the array, each LED to be illuminated is briefly switched on, then the micro moves to the next. If it is scheduled to be illuminated it is switched on again for a brief time. By quickly scanning through the LEDs fast enough a principle called 'persistance of vision' will allow an array of LEDs to show a static pattern. The Minidot 2 article has a bit of an explanation on this principle.
But wait.....I've seemingly glossed over a bit in the description above. What's this 'disconnect pin B', 'disconnect pin C' business. Next section please.
Step 5: Tri-states (not Tricycles)
In the previous step we mentioned a microcontroller can be programmed to output a 5V voltage or a 0V voltage. To make the charlieplex matrix work, we select two pins in the matrix, and disconnect any other pins.
Of course manually disconnecting the pins is a bit difficult to do, particularly if we are scanning things very quickly to use the persistance of vision effect to show a pattern. However a microcontroller output pins can also be programmed to be input pins as well.
When a micro pin is programmed to be an input, it goes into what is called 'high-impedence' or 'tri-state'. That is, it presents a very high resistance (of the order of megaohms, or millions of ohms) to the pin.
If there is a very high resistance (see diagram) then we can essentially regard the pin as being disconnected, and so the charliplex scheme works.
The second diagram shows the matrix pins for each combination possible to illuminate each of the 6 LEDs in our example. Typically a tri-state is denoted by an 'X', 5V is shown as a '1' (for logical 1) and 0V as a '0'. In the micro firmware for a '0' or '1' you'd program the pins to be an output and it's state is well defined. For tri-state you program it to be an input, and because it's an input we don't actually know what the state may be....hence the 'X' for unknown.
Although we might allocate a pin to be tri-state or an input, we don't need to read it. We just take advantage of the fact an input pin on a microcontroller is high impedence.
Step 6: Some Practical Matters
The magic of charlieplexing relies on the fact the individual voltage presented across multiple LEDs in series will always be less than that across one single LED when the single LED is in parrallel with the series combination. If the voltage is less, then the current is less, and hopefully the current in the series combination will be so low that the LED will not light.
This isn't always the case however.
Lets say you had two red LEDs with a typical forward voltage of 1.9V in your matrix and a blue LED with a forward voltage of 3.5V (say LED1=red, LED3=red, LED5=blue in our 6 LED example). If you lit up the blue LED, you would end up with 3.5/2 = 1.75V for each of the red LEDs. This may be very close to the dim operating area of the LED. You might find the red LEDs will glow dimly when the blue is illuminated.
It is a good idea therefore to make sure the forward voltage of any different coloured LEDs in your matrix are roughly the same at the operating current, or else use the same coloured LEDs in a matrix.
In my Microdot/Minidot projects I didnt have to worry about this, I used high efficiency blue/green SMD LEDs which fortunately have much the same forward voltage as the reds/yellows. However if I implemented the same thing with 5mm LEDs the result would have more problematical. In this case I would have implemented a blue/green charlieplex matrix and a red/yellow matix seperately. I'd have needed to use more pins....but there you go.
Another issue is to look at your current draw from the micro and how bright you want the LED. If you have a big matrix, and are rapidally scanning it, then each LED is on for only a brief time. This it will appear relatively dim compared to a static display. You can cheat by increasing the current through the LED by reducing the current limiting resistors, but only to a point. If you draw too much current from the micro for too long you'll damage the output pins.
If you have a slowly moving matrix, say a status or cyclon display, you could keep the current down to a safe level but still have a bright LED display because each LED is on for a longer time, possibly static (in the case of a status indicator).
Some advantages of charlieplexing:
- uses only a few pins on a microcontroller to control many LEDs
- reduces component count as you don't need lots of driver chips/resistors etc
Some disadvantages:
- your micro firmware will need to handle setting both voltage state and input/output state of the pins
- need to be careful with mixing different colours
- PCB layout is difficult, because the LED matrix is more complex.
Step 7: References
There are lots of references about charlieplexing on the web.
In addition to the links at the front of the article, some of them are:
The original article from Maxim, this has a lot to say about driving 7 segment displays which is also possible.
A wiki entry
Excellent tutorial on Charlieplexing. You explained it so well that even a guy like me could fully understand it. I appreciate you taking the time to publish this Instructable, not to show off your project, but further the understanding of others. Great work.
Is it possible to use diodes instead of LEDs, and get logic signals from a charliplexed matrix?
I would like to make a chain of LED lights for the x-mas tree out of it, pulsing and blinking in different modes. I also want to use 6 pins to be able to use 30 LED's in a total lenght of 3 meters...
Will this work? or will the LED's are too dim?
Thank you so much for posting this! I am working on my electrical engineering senior design project which is going to be a bicycle with a lighting system along with other features. I am looking into Charlieplexing the taillight which is made up of 3 premade LED matrices.
My main question is, what is the actual time that each LED is lit up? I understand that the human eye takes in a new image 25 time per second, so I'm wondering how long should each LED stay lit for.
I'm also concerned that with the LED matrix I'm using, I won't actually be able to wire all of them up in the way that you've shown. This is the part I'm using: http://www.futurlec.com/LED/LEDM88RGCA.shtml
Check out http://litebike.info for more information about our project!
Thanks again.
Simply an excellent article. Can you confirm that we cannot turn on all LED's in the matrix at the same time using this method? Thanks.
You should only keep one LED on at a time if you have no buffering on your micro, or else the current draw will exceed the micro design tolerances.
However if you read the front page, there is quite a thread on lighting several LEDs at once with a charlie matrix. It is possible, but you should really buffer the control lines.
Check out the comments on this and follow the links back to the bloke who put me right in this regard.....he's got some great examples of more advanced charliplexing on his pages and probably a better explanation than I could have done.
If you were to set pin A to high and pin C to low, led 5 would light up. But wouldnt leds 1 and 3 also light up (dimly) This is what happened to me when i tried the circuit
Yes...check the comments in the text. The amount would depend on the type of LEDs, their forward voltages, minimum operating current and the voltage/current you are putting across the grid.
I suspect either you have some really cool low current LEDs, the voltage is too high or the current limit resistors being used are too small.
hey, if instead if disconnecting pin B you will put it in HIGH you'll get the same effect. current wont go through LED 1 due to zero voltage difference. i say that because i wonder how can you disconnect and reconnect pins in the microcontroller? you can either put it on 1 or 0 no?
Typo: In the 6th paragraph, last sentence,
// With 5V on pin B and 0V on pin A LED1 will glow.
should be "LED2", right?

OK. I understand the theory completely, even the math for computing how many leds can be controlled with x many io pins. If that schematic for a charlieplex matrix were expanded, it would be fractal. It's pretty cool actually. Now to turn theory into practice. I'm trying to make a charlieplexed led cube that's 4x4x4 (64 leds) which could theoretically be controlled with 9 io pins, but I can't wrap my head around mapping a 2d fractal charlieplex schematic into a 3d circuit. I already have all the wows done, with all the cathodes on a row connected and the anodes unconnected for now. How do i complete it? Any help would be appreciated. I plan to control it with an arduino, and may make it into an instructible. (if people aren't tired of led cubes, that is) My backup plan is to just have a pin corresponding to each of the 4 levels and each of the 16 columns. Thats 20 io pins needed. The arduino has 13 regular digital pins, 6 analogue pins that can also be used as digital io, so it's 1 pin short. I'd have to leave something off.
Heres how I did mine; https://www.instructables.com/id/3D-LED-Charlieplex-Cube-from-Chrismas-Tree-Lights/ I had grids or meshs forming the charlieplex array. Note, my array was very sparse, so I was using more signal lines than I really needed. This was mostly for mechanical convenience than anything else. Phil
Ahhhh, I see what you did. I actually got the idea to use xmas tree leds from you, but I was constructing it according to this and didn't alternate the polarity of the leds with the layers, which I think is the key to your method. No matter, I have plenty of xmas lights and plenty of time. I can make 2 cubes (or one giant stack!) There might also be a way to charlieplex one or two places in my configuration. I only need to reduce the number of io pins by 1 to work with the ardiuno. Thanks for your help, and how's your next cube with the "proper charlieplex driving scheme" coming along? Try making a template to put your leds in, then overlay the chicken wire or whatever (I used paperclips) and solder it in. That would be a good way to get the leds and their support structure as exact as possible.
Glad to be any help. I honestly haven't had time for any more charlieplexing cubes....although I have been thinking of alternatives....why not have a hex structure, each LED is in the vertex of a 3d hex shape rather than a cube so they are all equidistant.....a bit different (more net interest), plus higher LED density. Another alternative may be to do away with the lattice (cube or hex) altogether. Instead have a charliplexed string driven from below without any cross connections at all. Eg three pins, gives 6 LEDs, 4 gives 12 LEDs high. Then just arrange the strings vertically into whatever shape you want, cube, cylinder, sphere etc. You could also make a charlieplex chandelier if they hang freely. You can be flexible, test as you go and build as you go as well. This would probably require more io pins, I've been wracking my brain how to share io between strings on this setup. Note charlieplexing with fewer io pins means lower individual brightness because only one LED can be easily lit at a time (scrummage through the comments below, there is a solution for making several lit at a time...albeit at an increase in wiring complexity). More io pins used on a sparse charlieplex matrix increases the brightness. Good luck, please experiment and if you have time write up an instructable (linking to any reference sources of course) for others to enjoy and learn from. I've gotten quite a buzz from all the happy campers who've read this instructable and learnt something. phil
I like the hex idea-sortof like an led ball or sphere. As for the string idea, check out this project for charlieplexed string of 12.
If and when I make an instructable, I'll be sure to refer to yours. I'm having problems getting my cube to work with my arduino though. When I test it with a battery, connecting positive and negative to the correct wires, the correct led lights up, but when I use the ardiuno, some leds work fine, but others will not light up, or have other leds light up with them. If the cube works, then it must be a problem with my arduino or with my program.
Is it possible that there's some sort of interference or something between the pins that makes them not behave as expected?
Here's my code (sorry if formatting is undone.)
It's pretty well commented. The cube is set up like yours, with alternate rows as complimentary drives. I use all the io pins except 13 and 19 (analogue 5). T light up an led first disconnect all pins (set as input), then set it's poll and level as input and apply voltage and ground (digital out HIGH/digital out LOW) appropriately.
This program controls a 4x4x4 semi-charlieplexed LED cube using 18 io pins
Alternate rows of the cube have leds with opposite poles, and are complimentary drives.
pins are refereed to by row, column, and layer (r,c,l), going front-to-back,left-to-right, and bottom-to-top.
The rows and columns are connected to poles that go through the layers.
//array mapping led rows and columns to arduino pins
int gridPinMap[4][4]=
//ints mapping cube levels to arduino pins
int levels01pin = 17;
int levels23pin=18;
void setup(){
Serial.begin(9600);// initialize serial communications at 9600 bps:
pinMode(13, INPUT);//we don't use 13 b/c it has a built-in resistor but just in case, disconnect it
void loop(){//main loop
//this simple program turns each pin on for a second successivly
for (int r=0;r<4;r++){
for (int c=0;c<4;c++){
for (int l=0;l<4;l++){
//this function disconnects all the io pins we are using, so nothing should be on at all.
void allOff(){
Serial.print("\nOFF" );
//set everything to output by default
for (int r=0;r<4;r++){
for (int c=0;c<4;c++){
pinMode(gridPinMap[r][c], INPUT);
pinMode(levels01pin, INPUT);
pinMode(levels23pin, INPUT);
//this function turns on the led at (r,c,l)
void LEDON(int r, int c, int l){
//if the led to light is in row 0 or 2, it's column needs a ground (digital out LOW), and the level needs a positive voltage (digital out HIGH).
//Vice-versa if on levels 1 or 3
switch (l) {
case 0://bottom level
//disconnect the other two columns so no other pins go on
//pinMode(levels23pin, INPUT);
//send ground to column of pin
pinMode(gridPinMap[r][c], OUTPUT);
//send voltage to row of pin
pinMode(levels01pin, OUTPUT);

Hi, I've got a few things on my plate today...so I haven't had a thorough read of the code sorry. So based on this: Some possibilities: - I'm guessing all the LEDs are the same colour, if not see the instructable about the issue where the forward voltage difference between colours can result in a problem. - check your digitalWrite and PinMode routines don't have the read/modify/write issue common to PICs (I'm not familiar with Arduino code ). In PICs a bit change on a port can sometimes be unreliable for various reasons, it's usually better to use a shadow port register and write the whole port register at once from this or use a r/c/l coordinate to locate a bit mask as in my code. Instead of setting each r/c/l to INPUT individually, just set the whole port register or registers to INPUT at once in the allOff routine. It'll be faster as well without an array sweep. If you check my code I stored the port register input/output bit masks as well as the output register bit masks and outputted those. Try changing the code to simply run through a couple of LEDs then stop. Then use a multimeter to see if multiple I/O pins are being set to low or high. You should only have two lines active either low or high, the rest should be tri-state or input. You can use a large pull up/pull down resistor sitting on the multimeter probe to check if the line is tri-state. If you can pull it up and down then it's set to an input. If it sticks at high or low, then it is an output. Phil
The LEDs are the same type, but they are ripped from an old string of xmas lights. They are bleached from sunlight, some are rusty, but they seem to work.
The regular arduino language is a high level C-like library with functions for pin manipulation, but I did find this page on directly manipulating pins . It should be helpfull. I'll try it in a bit.
Ohhhh o.k! now i answered myself! putting pin B in an HIGH state will cause LED 3 to glow... the only solution is to disconnect pin B . thanks for this very comprehensive tutorial! Etay
:-) o.k now you actually answered my question about disconnect pins. but still, instead of disconnect you can put it on HIGH no?
I made a 12 led Charlieplexed with softwarebased 8bit PWM
nice work, it's pretty hard getting good PWM on charlieplex unless you're throwing lots of cycles at it so hats off. I look forward to a fancied up instructable of your own detailing the innards of the software.
I just put this thing together!! Thanks a bunch. I was looking for a simple two digit display for a GPS speedometer.
i first i was slightly intimidated by ur explanation but after reading it, i feel like i can teach my electronics teacher this concept. thanks -drew
It's such an easy to understand explanation, i totally graped the concept with one read :)
I have never understood this "charlieplexing" thing, but after reading this I understood it completely. 5 *'s
Thanks for the compliment...and to all the other people the instructable has helped and taken the time to comment.
I've got it, and I'm a complete new to to microcontrollers and electronics! Thanks for this great explanations! Alex
No, if you read closely you find I looked at my forward operating region for the LED from my graph and it was 1.9V, I wanted 3.1V shared between the two resistors. For combined red/green/blue LED matrices I made a note in step six to be careful about mixing different colours as they might have different forward voltages. In practice I found with the LEDs I had for my clock the green/blue LEDs lit up nicely at 1.9V, presumably because they were low power SMD devices or I was just luck ...so I didn't have to worry, however you do need to check this first. Other LEDs may well have higher forward voltages and in that case green/blue LEDs will need a separate matrix.
NICE!!! i havent been able to get an account 4 a while, but i hav been reading instructables for monthes. urs really helped me out with a problem i had 2 solve. AWSOME!!!
Please forgive the typo' in the previous post. Obviously I meant to say; This improves overall brightness by increasing duty cycle.
I suspect there's a few chaps scratching their heads trying to figure out how to drive that 6 pin 30 LED matrix example in my previous post so I've attached a driver example in C.
Basically, it uses a 6 element array, one element for each column, with the least significant five bits in each element corresponding to the five LEDs in each column. Your main program simply sets or clears those bits to turn the corresponding LEDs on or off. The ISR driver uses periodic timer 2 interrupts and lights the LEDs in a single column during each interrupt interval so it takes six interrupt intervals to refresh the entire matrix.
The driver may not seem very intuitive at first but if you look at the LEDs on the RB5 row in the drawing (link) in my previous post and think of RB5 as a "floating" row, the method may make more sense.
Have fun. Regards, Mike
K8LH Charlieplexed Driver Example
Hi Mike, I've had a very quick look at the code, can you answer a couple of questions though. If you are only using 6 interrupt intervals, then how can you provide an arbitrary pattern for 30 LEDs without illuminating several LEDs at once? This might be your purpose however, so please excuse me if that is the case. From what I understand you are doing a bargraph/bardot display. In that case, this is a reasonable method for such displays. For the minidot/microdot clocks however I wanted an arbitrary pattern for the 30LEDs (see pics on these instructables).....not sure that this would help in that case. If you have a look at the minidot/microdot code, I've had to have a lookup table for each LED and put the tris/port values out for each possible combination. I suppose the 'all possible combination' method is the generic method for pur charlieplex arrays, and this method is better suited as you've noted for seven segment displays or bar graphs where either only one LED is illuminated, or an ordered number of LEDs (ie a bar) is illuminated. I might be missing something, if you can do another more efficient algorithm for arbitrary patterns please post it. Again, I mentioned I've only had a quick look. On any particular iteration through the 6 interrupt cycles, do you have several LEDs on at once? If so, then you might have a problem with varying brightness if say on cycle one you want one LED, cycle two four LEDs etc because the cummulative forward voltage of several LEDs being illuminated will change the current. Thanks for adding to the instructable though, I think it illustrates the different cases for charlieplex arrays. Phil
Sorry!!!!! I must do a bit of back paddling here. I didn't look at the solution you've come up with properly.
I didn't refer to the below circuit diagram when making the above comments.
I see now how you can have several LEDs on at once and still have an arbitrary pattern.
Lets see if I can explain properly.
First, because the diagram has no LEDs numbers lets assume a numbering convention where L11 means LED at row 1, column 1 , top left hand corner and L61 means LED at row 6, column 1 (bottom right hand corner. Of course LED11, LED22, LED33 etc don't actually exist in the matrix.
You can set an arbitrary pattern for column 1, eg L21, L31, L41 by setting tris/port values tris=xx110000 and port=xxx10001 (where x means don't care).
This sets RB0 to high to turn on the column driver, and RB1,2,3 to LOW to turn on LEDs L21,L31 and L41. RB4 and RB5 are tri-state.
This would be the first interrupt cycle.
Next pattern for column 2 eg L21, L23, L26 by setting
tris=xx010100 and port=xx0x0x10
and so on. You can see that for each column in your arrangement there will be the same number of zeros in the port setting as the number of LEDs in that column you want to illuminate, plus a 'one' to set the output column driver. In the tris, there will be the number of desired LEDs+1 zeros to enable the output lines (all others to tri-state).
Apologies for jumping the gun before....this is a great method for reducing the number of interrupt cycles to control the array. With the extra time saved, PWM can be used to do brightness control.
My original concern was that the current sinking capability of the micro wasn't enough to handle several LEDs at one, however I can see now that each current sink line, only sinks one LED worth of current, and the transistors source the needed current.
Hats off....thanks for helping the charliplex community out. I can see the validity of this method now. You do need extra components....but that could be handled by a single transistor array chip (eg ULN 2800 for PNP drivers, ULN2803 of NPNs if you arrange it the other way).
When I extract my finger, I'll be using this method on my little LED cube. I was worried about getting PWM brightness control for a 5x5x6=125 LED array.
You've almost got it Phil. The PORT reg' can only have a single '1' bit at any time (xx100000, xx010000, xx001000, xx000100, xx000010, or xx000001) to turn on a single column driver transistor. That's the purpose of the colpos ring-counter variable in the driver. We also use this '1' bit in colpos to determine when an individual led bit in our display array variable matches one of those invalid col/row positions (rb0/rb0, rb1/rb1, etc.) and needs to be "floated" onto the RB5 "float" row. If you physically slide those RB5 "float" row LEDs into the holes in the matrix above then your display array will match your LED numbering scheme.
Yes, you can still PWM the LEDs with this method (with improved duty cycle).
Yes, you could use a UDN2981 sourcing driver IC for CA columns or a ULN2803/2804 sinking driver IC for CC columns but adding an IC almost defeats the purpose of Charlieplexing (grin). I guess for some reason I don't think adding 5 transistors is 'cheating' (grin).
BTW, during my Charlieplexing experiments several years ago I observed higher brightness when the PIC pins sink current to LED cathodes rather than source current to LED anodes and so that's why you'll notice common anode column drivers in most of my projects.
Have fun.
Mike, K8LH (Michigan, USA)

Inside back: Where are they now?
(Former Laois footballer)
Portlaoise and Kilmacud Crokes meet today in the Leinster club championship and one man who wouldn't mind playing is Ian Fitzgerald. The former Laois captain retired from football in 2006, aged 29, when he decided to further his dentistry studies in America.
But now he is back working in Ireland and is very tempted to return to football. "I haven't heard from the club since I've been back but I still feel young, I feel fit and I think I'd be able to give it a go," he says.
Fitzgerald definitely has plenty of experience. He made the breakthrough onto the county seniors in 1995 when still only 18. Three years later, Laois won a Leinster under 21 title and Fitzgerald got his first taste of success.
Better was to follow after Mick O'Dwyer arrived in 2003. Fitzgerald captained the senior team to Leinster glory as they beat Kildare in the final in Croke Park -- a day he will never forget.
"That was an amazing time in Laois football because in the seven or eight years previous to Micko's management we had never even got close to a Leinster title. In his first year we got to the league final and we won Leinster.
"For some of the bigger counties, those achievements wouldn't be a big deal but for Laois it was massive.
"We always had a good team, we were similar to a lot of counties, the players were there; we just needed them all to come together. When Micko came in he focused us. We felt that we really needed to prove ourselves to Mick O'Dwyer. We had been hammered the year before by Meath so it was a do-or-die thing that year."
Although he retired at a young age, he had 11 seasons under his belt. The commitment was taking its toll and eventually the wing-forward had to make a choice.
"I was a dentist at that time but I wanted to specialise and football is like having a second job. I couldn't do all the study needed and keep playing the football and I got tired of the football so I decided to give it up."
For the last two years Fitzgerald has been in Milwaukee specialising in orthodontics. He returned to Ireland at the start of the summer and is now a partner in Castle Orthodontics in Carlow and Kilkenny. He hasn't returned to the football field yet but he won't rule it out.

This was my very last project that I made. I wanted to do an over the top 5x5 square card with a ton of layers and sewing. I looked around for a sketch and found a Sweet Sunday sketch that looked like it would work. For some reason, I didn't take too many pictures of this card, so I will show you what I have.
Summer Smooches DSP had just come out, and I wanted to use new fresh paper, so even though I had a scrapbook page with this paper already, I thought it would still be ok.
Flags a plenty decorate this card, in bright vibrant colors. I love incorporating sewing onto my cards, and I love how the stitching adds another layer of texture.
Since there was so much going on in the background, I felt a nice simple main panel would be the best for this card. Nice crisp white with pops of color just fit the bill. Some fussy cutting on the vase and brights buttons make nice flowers.
Sorry for the blurry picture! The whisper white ribbon helps to break up some of the patterns, and adds more crisp white.
I finished off the inside with pieces of DSP that were not used on the front. This is a great way to use up your scraps, since they are right there before you clean up.
That is all of the pictures that I have of this card, sorry! Hop on over to Amy Roger's blog at Amy's Stampin Creations to continue on with the Hop. Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you were inspired, enjoy!

German financial watchdog ups charm offensive to woo firms post-Brexit
German authorities have upped a charm offensive aimed at financial firms looking to shift operations to the country after Brexit by launching a dedicated welcome page.
The website for financial watchdog BaFin now hosts a landing page highlighting its willingness to conduct all communication with foreign companies in English, and its ability to "simplify and accelerate" approval around funding requirements and internal risk models.
"Due to the imminent Brexit process, BaFin is paying particular attention to the urgent questions and issues of companies located in the United Kingdom with a view to minimising operational risks and offering a reliable supervisory framework in Germany," its website says.
It comes just weeks after BaFin hosted around 50 representatives from more than 20 banks in Frankfurt for a workshop which provided guidelines for setting up shop in the country after Britain leaves the EU.
The invite-only event provided lenders with a broad overview of compliance requirements for securities trading, provision planning, and the German Banking Act.
Authorities have been clear that any organisation looking to make the move would have to establish a full team and meet German standards on solvency, liquidity and risk management.
"Companies can make use of extensive outsourcing possibilities which fulfil BaFin's supervisory requirements. However, BaFin does not accept mere 'letterbox' arrangements," the website explained.
BaFin said will continue expanding the range of material offered in English on its website and has set up a special email address for financial services looking to make the leap.
Commenting on the webpage launch, BaFin assured that "although the backdrop for this is Brexit, the United Kingdom's planned departure from the European Union, the welcome page is nonetheless aimed at all foreign companies wishing to conduct operations requiring supervision in Germany or considering moving their registered office here".
Earlier this week, news emerged that Lloyds Banking Group is set to apply for a licence that would convert its Bank of Scotland-branded site in Berlin into a subsidiary in order to secure its European business after Brexit.
It is understood that few jobs would leave London as a result of the move, as the 300-strong branch is already well equipped to serve European clients.
Rival financial centres like Frankfurt, Dublin and Paris are expected to siphon off some of the City's businesses, ahead of the expected loss of passporting rights as part of a hard Brexit.
Passporting rights allow UK-based financial services to trade across the bloc without needing to apply for licenses in each member state.
HSBC has said it is on course to move 1,000 jobs from its London office to France, while around 4,000 of JP Morgan's 16,000 UK staff could be shifted abroad, though a potential location has yet to be revealed.
French delegations have been dispatched to London to try to woo more local financial firms to Paris.
Parisian politicians and business groups descended on the Shard earlier this month to meet with more than 60 representatives from UK-based banks, fund managers and insurance firms to hear about the benefits of choosing France as their post-Brexit destination.
It is expected to hold another event later this year.

The quarterback dual between Oklahoma's Sam Bradford and Texas' Colt McCoy wasn't the only one of interest over the weekend. NFL scouts were also keeping a close eye on the one that took place in the Southland Conference between Central Arkansas' Nathan Brown and Sam Houston State's Rhett Bomar -- the top two prospects at the position in the Football Championship Subdivision ranks.
Central Arkansas won the high scoring affair 48-46, and Brown connected on 20 of 28 passes for 269 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. The reigning Southland Conference Offensive Player of the Year possesses good mechanics, throws on the move effectively and is very accurate in the short-passing game (completing 71.2 percent of his passes this season).

This will greatly increase your shutter speed and make your camera experience much better overall. I found the stock Bionic camera app to be garbage and was sick of waiting 15 seconds for it to focus.
I recommend using this with Gallery 3D. You can still view pics using the Blur gallery, but you won't have any options to share.
1) Using Root Explorer (or similar program) go to system/app and find blurcamera.apk. Mount system as R/W and rename app. I just added a .bak to the end so I could revert back if I wanted to.
***UPDATE--This is optional. Both cameras get separate icons (my reason for writing the original post as so) and now you can use stock for the FFC. Either way, Nitro said he'll get an update out soon. Maybe if you like this, you can find the thread here about getting him a Bionic. The man makes some stellar ROMs.
2) Download the attached .apk and move to system/app. Change permissions to:
3) Download Gallery 3D (if you wish) - Market link: Gallery 3D
4) Reboot and enjoy!
***You will lose your front facing camera option. I'm going to work on getting that fixed. Until then there is no known workaround.
Again, this is all Nitroglycerine33, so give him credit.
And of course, thank the MIUI team.

Coming to Ladakh for the first time, the vast landscape dominates one's vision. The intense light at altitude enhances the contrast between stark snowcapped Himalayan peaks and glistening river valleys; human habitation and history seems almost non-existent. If you are attentive to detail, focus your lens, explore a broader depth of field, you will realize the richness of human life pervading these dramatic landscapes.
You are surrounded by the remnants of an ancient trading crossroad between Kashgar, Tibet, and Kashmir. Even in the most remote valleys you will find fortified Tibetan monasteries. Blending into the hills are farming villages. Traversing the barren land are nomads. Roaming the land are large animals like ibex, Tibetan wolves, and urial. As photographers, we are there to weave together this rich tapestry into our own unique interpretation.
On this adventure, we are fortunate to be accompanied by an internationally renowned photographer, writer, and teacher Sean Kernan. He knows how to turn photographers into creative artists as well as challenge everyone to push their craft to the next level. One of his focuses will be group activities that help us get into a creative state and help turn ordinary scenes into extraordinary images. The trip is open to photographers of all levels, as well as non-photographing spouses.
Don your jacket. Grab your camera. Travel with us to a land so remote that the locals will tell you that only the greatest of friends or fiercest enemies ever come to visit.
- Learn from internationally renowned writer, photographer, and teacher Sean Kernan and photographer and adventure travel guide Jock Montgomery
- Visit Thiksey Monastery, a 17th-century structure modeled after the Potala Palace in Lhasa, Hemis monastery, the largest and wealthiest in Ladakh and other notable monasteries: Thiksey, Stakna, Basgo and Lamayuru
- Spend two nights in a remote farming village on the edge of the Karakorum mountain range
- A local wildlife expert leads a walk to view larger animals of Ladakh, including ibex, urial, and Tibetan wolves
- Meet the Brokpa, an historically important ethnic group with unique customs and physical appearance
- Visit with the Drukpa nomads who are camped beside the cerulean waters of Tsomoriri Lake, and surrounded by snow-capped peaks.
- At Tso Kar lake meet locals collecting salt along the shoreline that is used primarily in Tibetan butter tea
- Take in the rugged Himalayan scenery at Tanglanglha pass, one of the highest motorways in the world
Photographic Exploration
As photographers Jock and Sean think the best 'seeing' happens when we wander. Our job is to make this happen and support each participant. We will also offer provocative assignment ideas and exercises designed to get us past our habits.
The focus is on working with and understanding light, defining your composition and creating compelling content. As you work towards nurturing your shooting style, you will learn how to take in and personalize those breathtaking moments that range from sweeping natural scenery to colorful human activities. Throughout the workshop we arrange to have feedback sessions and reviews, both group and personal.
A personal invitation from Sean Kernan
Dear photographers and artists of all kinds,
I have found that one of the best ways to open our eyes is to take those eyes to wonderful new places and just let them romp; let them really see what's around you. This creative state of awareness is what allows you to take photographs so surprising you can't believe you were behind the shutter.
Our tour to Ladakh is not the usual photo tour where you get led up to the place of interest for your ten-minute photo op. Our pace will be slow. We'll have time to sink into each place, time to watch the light change, time to let our seeing become more subtle and deeper. The itinerary has lots of flexibility so we can return to places that require more time for our creative pursuits.
On top of the stimulation of this isolated land, we may engage a few of the exercises in my new book,Looking into the Light, to limber up our sight and help us grasp more directly our own photographic vision. We'll get to share our work informally with the group to receive the great gift of another's response, on the spot, when and where it can do us some good.
Some of the best contributors to the stimulation of the group come from those outside of photography. Sketching companions, artists, and insightful people are all welcome. Please don't hesitate to join us because you do not consider yourself a photographer.
I look forward to seeing what you can create from behind the shutter.
Sean Kernan
Trip in Detail
Being flexible and open to new opportunities is the cornerstone to seeking out and shooting compelling photographs. We make every effort to keep our plans flexible so we can take full advantage of photographic opportunities as they arise.
Please note: three meals a day are included in the cost except for first and last days as noted in the itinerary.
Day 1, September 10: Arrive Delhi
On arrival at Delhi International airport, you will be welcomed by our representative and transferred to a nearby hotel, the Pride Plaza.
Day 2, September 11: Leh
You should have booked Air India flight AI 445 departing Delhi 05:55 and arriving Leh 07:15. If the flight cancels and you must overnight in Delhi, we will arrange transportation back to the hotel, but you will have to pay for the hotel and any meals.
*Please be aware; although we have had good luck in the past, Delhi to Leh and return are Himalayan mountain flights with weather that can occasionally be unpredictable. Flights may be delayed or even canceled while the plane is on route. Other airlines offer acceptable flights to Leh, but Air India is the only one who will try to get you to Leh a.s.a.p. and usually without charging anything.
In the early morning, a local guide will take you to the airport. Be sure to book a window seat on the "A" side for better views, and have your camera handy! The Himalayan scenery is spectacular, and on a clear day, you can see as far as K2 in neighboring Pakistan.
We check into the Lotus Hotel, a warm, family run establishment, decorated in Ladakhi style. The hotel sits above the main town, just a short walk to the main market. Today our priority is to take it easy, and in doing so there should be no problems acclimatizing to the 3,500-meter elevation. Jock lived in Nepal for 12 years and has been on countless trips at altitudes much higher than Leh. He will give a talk to the group about the altitude, and signs and symptoms to be aware of; with the salient points being, to take it easy during the first couple of days, staying hydrated and communicating with Jock if you have any concerns whatsoever.
After lunch, Sean and I will discuss the itinerary, the surrounding landscape, various cultures, and give you a few anecdotes from our previous visits to Ladakh. We also want to hear from everyone about your experiences in photography, both big and small! Most importantly, we will get you onto a new path, thinking about photography in unique and creative ways.
Day 3, 9/12: Leh
As light breaks over the snow-capped Himalayan peaks, we drive southeast to visit several well-known monasteries situated in dramatic settings. Built in 1655, Shey is a Tibetan monastery known for its giant copper and gilded statue of Shakyamuni Buddha. Thiksey monastery, noted for its similarity to Potala Palace in Lhasa, is a twelve story complex that houses many items of Buddhist art including stupas, statues, thangkas, wall paintings, and swords; as well as a striking fifteen-meter statue of the Maitreya, the future Buddha.
We have lunch with a local family in Stok, a farming village full of photographic opportunities. A traditional Ladakhi meal will be served in a beautifully decorated home. As a display of wealth and prestige, the dining room walls are lined with high-quality pots and pan, and the furniture is made of intricately carved hardwood.
We return to Leh in the late afternoon.
Day 4, 9/13: Leh
An early morning start to chase the light takes us back past some of the places we visited yesterday and further upstream along the Indus River valley.
We turn up a dry side valley and at the roads' end reach Hemis, a sprawling monastery complex, the largest and wealthiest monastery in Ladakh. This 11th-century structure has gilded stupas studded with precious stones, as well as an impressive collection of ancient books, manuscripts, and various relics. Hemis is said to be the home to a secret gospel of Jesus that dates from when he visited Ladakh. This story has been debunked, but Sean has a fascinating personal account of a mysterious German visitor who demanded under a call from God, to be allowed to see the Christ's writings.
We return to Leh for lunch and in the afternoon spend time editing our work, and sharing our results with our group.
Day 5, 9/14: Leh
At dawn we walk along hillside covered with Buddhist stupas and take in the morning light as it touches the backside of Leh Palace, perched on a hilltop. After visiting the palace and an adjacent monastery we spend the morning wandering on our own amongst the back streets of Leh, an important trading center for all Ladakhis. There are numerous alleys, and local shops selling a variety of local products. (And of course there are plenty of shops selling goods for tourists too!)
In the afternoon return to the markets in Leh or be taken back to some of the places we have visited earlier in the trip. This opportunity to revisit locations allows everyone an important opportunity to fill in gaps in their creative work.
Day 6 & 7, 9/15 - 9/16: Ullei
We depart Leh for a few days and our first stop is Basgo, a fortified monastery located on a hillock covered with unusual mud and conglomerate rock formations. Inside this seldom visited monastery, the walls are covered with brightly colored murals depicting the Buddha's life, and there is a massive gilded statue of Maitreya Buddha. The World Monuments Fund, a non-profit organization devoted to preserving important architecture, restored Basgo monastery.
We continue to Ullei, a tiny village, which sits at the end of a dead-end road and is nestled among jagged Himalayan peaks. Only a few families live here. They grow barely, wheat, potatoes; and raise goats, sheep, and yaks. They will be our hosts for the next two days. And we will be welcome to photograph them going about their daily lives.
One of the villagers is exceptionally knowledgeable about local wildlife and is an excellent photographer. He will take our group out in search of urial, ibex, lammergeier, and perhaps wolves. There will also be ample opportunities to photograph the early morning and late afternoon light as it moves across this remarkable landscape.
Day 8 & 9, 9/17 -9/18: Camp among the Brokpa
We continue driving southwest along the Indus River to two Bropka villages, Dha and Hanu. We spend two nights based at a luxury camp with well-appointed canvas tents, excellent meals and amenities.
The Bropka have a current population of around 4,000, have lived in cultural isolation for centuries and possess unique practices and beliefs; all of which remain something of a mystery. They have distinct facial features--possibly European--and the women wear elaborate floral headdresses. They follow ancient religious practices known as Bon-Chos: They abhor cows and chickens and any of their by-products and accept fraternal polyandry, (brothers have the same wife). Using a 19th-century linguistic argument, some claim the Bropka are of pure Indo-Aryan stock. From this questionable argument has arisen a theory that they are descendants of ancient western visitors and represent a pure genetic line of Arianism.
We can organize creative portrait sessions and are welcome to visit and photograph the Brokpa people's rural way of life.
Day 10, 9/19: Leh
From the Brokpa villages we drive to Lamayuru monastery, the oldest in Ladakh. This 11th-century monastery was built in a rugged and dramatic mountain setting and is home to some 300 monks.
We join the Srinagar-Leh road, follow alongside the Indus River and make our way back to Leh in time for lunch.
This afternoon we have time to review and share our work to date and consider further refinements to our photography.
Day 11, 9/20: Tsomoriri Lake Camp
Today we drive southeast towards the headwaters of the Indus River and have more opportunities for early morning landscape photography. We will probably return to one or two of the monasteries we have visited previously so we can fine-tune our work at these now familiar locations.
In the afternoon we arrive at the cerulean blue Tsomoriri Lake set behind a lush grassland, beneath tanned hills, and flanked by snow-capped peaks. Here we spend time visiting with and photographing the friendly Drukpa nomads of Tibetan descent, who live in yak hair tents and tend livestock of goats, sheep, yaks and a cross breed of cow and yak called dri.
The setting is also excellent for time-lapse photography as shadows of snow-covered peaks cut across the water and high altitude clouds drift across the sky. At night, trails from countless stars can be captured.
Similar to our accommodation at Dha-Hanu, we stay nearby in luxury tents and enjoy excellent meals.
Day 12 9/21: Leh
After shooting in the early morning light beside Tsomoriri Lake, we drive to Puga valley, known for its geothermal features. We visit Tso Kar, a high altitude salt lake, where the salt washing onto the shore is collected and sold by drukpa nomads in nearby markets. This spot is popular with bird watchers who especially come to see the black-necked cranes with their spectacular 2.5-meter wingspan soaring against the backdrop of snow-covered mountains. The area is also home to the wild ass, Tibetan gazelle, and Tibetan wolf.
In the afternoon, we continue driving west and ascend Tanglanglha pass. At 5,328 meters, this is one of the highest motorways in the world. We can always stop at various places to photograph the dramatic treeless windswept mountains. We continue our scenic drive to the ancient trading town of Upshi and finally return to Leh.
Day 13 9/22: Leh
On this final day in Ladakh, you might chooseto do some more photography (or last minute shopping!), but the main focus will be on finishing up our projects, and comparing ideas with others as we prepare for ourlast slideshow. After dinner we gather to share photographs and stories from our wonderful adventures in Ladakh; the land of high Himalayan peaks, and friendly welcoming locals!
Day 14, 9/23: Departure from Leh
We have an early breakfast, and before heading to the airport say our sad goodbyes to the people and places of Ladakh.
Return to Delhi on Air India flight AI 446 departing Leh at 07:55 and arriving Delhi 09:20 (am). Due to possible delays, flights out of Delhi should be scheduled for the late afternoon or evening.

There are many ways to express your caring and compassion for others. You can perform some type of volunteer work, make a contribution to your favorite charity or you can publish a cookbook to sell and raise funds to donate to charity.
Recently, I have come across some very worthwhile books and events that do just that.
The first book is Maintaining Tradition, A Selection of Recipes from the Rebecca Margolis Collection, With Love by the Margolis Family. All proceeds from this book benefit the Center for Hospice Care. The family of Rebecca Margolis put this book together as a tribute to their mother who had been a Hospice patient.
The book has more than 650 pages with recipes in all categories. It is clear that Mrs. Margolis loved to entertain and you will have trouble deciding which recipe to try first.
Since it is summer, I thought I'd share with you the Potato Salad and the Green Bean and Mushroom Salad. These are just the tip of the iceberg.
To purchase the book, you can contact Rebecca's daughter, Sharon, at The Rebecca Collection at (908) 221-0025, visit The Rebecca Collection at 29 Olcott Square in Bernardsville, or fax your order to 908-221-0569. A minimum donation of $35 is requested.
Potato Salad (from the Rebecca Margolis Collection)
2 lbs. Idaho potatoes
1 C. broken walnut meats
3/4 C. Anchovy Mayo (recipe
1/4 C. chopped dill
Cook potatoes in a pot adding water to cover and salt to taste. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes or until tender; drain. When potatoes are still hot, but cool enough to handle, peel them. Cut into quarter-inch thick slices. There should be about 6 cups. Put the slices in a bowl. Add walnuts, mayonnaise and chopped dill. Toss and serve while still warm. Serves 8-10.
Anchovy Mayonnaise:
1 egg yolk
2 tsp. imported mustard, Dijon
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 1/2 T. White wine vinegar
1 C. olive oil
Drops of Tabasco sauce
1/4 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
6 flat fillets of anchovy, finely chopped
Put the yolk, mustard and a little salt and pepper and vinegar in a mixing bowl. Start stirring with a wire whisk. Gradually add the oil, stirring constantly with the whisk. Beat until thickened and smooth. Beat in Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce and anchovies. Makes about 1 cup.
Green Bean and Mushroom Salad (from the Rebecca Margolis Collection)
1 lb. Green beans, ends trimmed
1 lb. Button mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 T. White wine vinegar
1 T. Olive oil
Mustard Sauce (recipe to follow)
1 oz. Gruyere Cheese, sliced into Julienne strips
4 dill sprigs
6 sm. Radishes
Cook green beans in boiling salted water to cover until crisp-tender, about 7 minutes; drain. Place in large bowl of ice water 5 minutes; drain. Dry on paper toweling. Refrigerate covered. Combine mushrooms, vinegar and oil; let stand 30 minutes. Make Mustard Sauce. Combine green beans and mushrooms in serving bowl; top with Mustard Sauce; toss gently to coat. Garnish with cheese, dill and radishes. Serves 6.
Mustard Sauce:
1/4 C. plus 3 T. Olive oil
3 T. Dusseldorf Mustard
2 T. White wine vinegar
1 T. Sugar
3 T. Minced green onion
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. white pepper
1/2 C. snipped fresh dill
Mix oil, mustard, vinegar and sugar in blender 1 minute. Add onion, parsley, salt and pepper, blend 1 minute. Add dill; blend until smooth. Makes about 1 cup.
A second book is By Thy Hand - We All Are Fed, A Centennial Collection of Recipes from St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Gladstone.
St. Luke's had an earlier cookbook called Heavenly Foods, which I happened to have on my bookshelf. It was a delight to use and I knew their second book would be just as wonderful.
One of the things I love about this type of book is leafing through the recipes and looking at the names of the contributors. The funniest thing happened with this one - I was leafing through and saw something called "John's Favorite Hors D'Oevre," which turned out to be a recipe of mine.
As a member of the community for many years, I remembered bringing this dish to a function that Canon John Morrow attended and his remarking how much he liked it. I was delighted to reflect back on that memory and see the recipe in the book.
Here is my recipe for John's Favorite Hors D'Oevre. This appetizer/hors d'oevre is easy to prepare and the colors are gorgeous.
Basil Cups with Roasted Red Pepper & Fresh Mozzarella
1 lb. fresh mozzarella
1 bunch fresh basil, washed and dried, large leaves are best
4 Roasted Red Peppers
2 cans rolled anchovies with capers (optional)
Good Quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Pepper Mill
Cut mozzarella and red pepper in
1 x 1 squares.
Layer a basil leaf, a piece of mozzarella, a piece of roasted red pepper and top with a rolled anchovy.
Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
Variation: If you do not like anchovies, drizzle the serving dish with good quality extra virgin olive oil and a light grinding of fresh black pepper.
Here's another recipe I was intrigued, contributed by Ryder Ziebarth of Bernards Township, as it appears in the book. This is a high fiber, meatless sauce that kids love. It also freezes well.
Spa Vegetable Sauce
1 head broccoli florets
1 red pepper
1 green pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 bag spinach
1 small bag carrots, peeled and sliced
1 fresh tomato, cut and squeeze of seeds
1 onion
1 zucchini, sliced
1 yellow squash, sliced
Any other vegetable you would like to add
Place all vegetables in Cuisinart and finely chop. Place in a colander with a weight on top and drain for 1 hour.
Melt 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large soup kettle; add vegetables and 1 clove chopped garlic and stir for 5 minutes. Add 16 oz can tomato puree, 1 small can tomato paste, salt and pepper to taste, 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1 Tablespoon brown sugar, 1/4 C. what germ, 1/2 tsp. oregano, and snipped fresh chives. Bring to a boil; lower to simmer and cook for 1 to 4 hours.
For your copy of the St. Luke's Cookbook, call the church office at (908) 234-0002 or send your check for $17 ($15 plus $2 shipping) to St. Luke's Cookbooks, P.O. Box 47, Peapack, N.J. 07977. Proceeds from the book go to the Parish Life Guild for Mission Outreach. Who knows, your recipe might be in there!
A Market Street Mission
Another way you can help folks in need is by cooking a meal and delivering it or just by volunteering to help serve at mealtimes. This is evidenced at Market Street Mission in Morristown. It is at least once a week that a family from Warren Township shows up at the Mission, ready to serve dinner to the men in the program. There are so many folks who donate food to the mission and do not leave their names that we would like to acknowledge those folks at this time. Thank you one and all.
Mark Your Calendar
A gala event to look forward to is the upcoming "A Dinner for Hope" to be held on at 6:30 p.m., Friday, Sept. 21 at the Bernards Inn. Eight noteworthy chefs will donate their time and talent to benefit N.J. Children's Charities.
The chefs are Edward Stone of The Bernards Inn, Kirk Avondoglio of Perona Farms (N.J.), Edward Brown of the SeaGrill (N.Y.), Tom Colicchio of Gramercy Tavern and Craft (N.Y.), Michael Ginor of Hudson Valley Foie Gras (N.Y.), Michael Schlow of Radius (Boston, Mass.), Louis Spost of the The Atlanta Hilton and Towers (Atlanta, Ga.), and Cal Stamenov of the Bernardus Lodge (Carmel, Calif.)
To learn more about A Dinner of Hope call (908) 234-9977 or visit the Website at www.dinnerofhope.org. The joy of this type of event is not only the fabulous food and wine, but also the feeling you get from doing something so positive for others!
Please visit my website at www.lifestyledesigns.com or e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I look forward to hearing from you!

I have a list of list as in the code I attached. I want to link each
sub list if there are any common values. I then want to replace the list of
list with a condensed list of list. Examples: if I have a list
[[1,2,3],[3,4]] I want [1,2,3,4]. If I have
[[4,3],[1,2,3]] I want [4,3,1,2]. If I have
[[1,2,3],[a,b],[3,4],[b,c]] I want
This assignment is from Induction to Programming using sml
Induction to Programming using sml
Here is my code but I get this message pattern
matching is not exhaustive in in base case..
fun revrev [] =
[[], []] | revrev [x::xs,y::ys] = revrev[ys@[y], xs @ [x]];val
test1revrev = revrev [[1, 2],[3, 4, 5]];From valtest1 I want the
output [[5, 4, 3], [2, 1]]
Now the question is pretty hard. Now this is my main list
List<List<KeyValuePair<string, double>>>
dblWordFreqByCluster = new List<List<KeyValuePair<string,
So lets give example list
I have a Map containing Strings for keys and Lists as values. After
putting several entries into the Map and randomly expanding the List values
in the Map I get the following problem:
list3 =
map.get("string1"); list3.get(0).setName("testobject");
for(TestObject to : list3){
System.out.println(to.getName()); }
why is ita method with the signature:
public void
foo(List<String> string)
cant be called by
guavas: foo(Lists.newArrayList())
or java7s:
foo(new ArrayList<>())
foo(new ArrayList<>())
Now this is example list :
List<List<KeyValuePair<string, double>>>
dblWordFreqByCluster = new
List<List<KeyValuePair<string, double>>>();
What i want is getting the list count at this main list
(dblWordFreqByCluster). Which means getting count of
List<KeyValuePair<string, double>> lists.
List<KeyValuePair<string, double>>
If I start with a method like this:
com.sandbox;import java.util.ArrayList;import
java.util.List;public class Sandbox { public static void
main(String[] args) { List<String> strings = new
ArrayList<String>(); strings.add("a");
strings.add("b"); for (String string : strings) {
Is it possible to have different fonts/backgrounds in ListBox main view
and for list items in drop down menu? Or is it possible to stop displaying
text in ListBox main view what could help solve problem?
something like that:
ListBox BACKGROUND/FONT1item
BACKGROUND/FONT2 aaaa /item/ListBox
Thanks in advance
Say I have a Customer class with the usual properties:
CustomerID, Name, etc.
As a result of
a query, I get a generic list of Customer objects:
Is there an elegant way to
get an array/list of CustomerID or Name property values from this generic
list? (i.e. string[] customerIDs = ???? )
I have an object called particle that has its own properties (position,
velocity, etc.) and in my windows form I create a list of particles. This
list of particles is then updated in the code (i.e. each particle's
position, velocity, etc. is updated in each iteration step).
What I want to do is add this List<Particle> to
another list List<List<Particle
