North Korea routinely test-launches short-range missiles. But the latest launches came during a period of tentative diplomacy aimed at easing recent tension, including near-daily threats by North Korea to attack South Korea and the U.S. earlier this year. North Korea protested annual joint military drills by Seoul and Washington and U.N. sanctions imposed over its February nuclear test.
The fourth launch occurred Sunday afternoon, according to officials at Seoul's Defense Ministry and Joint Chiefs of Staff. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity citing department rules, refused to say whether it was a missile or artillery round.
On Saturday, North Korea fired two short-range missiles in the morning and another in the afternoon. The U.S. responded by saying threats or provocations would only further deepen North Korea's international isolation, while South Korea called the launches a provocation and urged the North to take responsible actions.
The North has a variety of missiles but Seoul and Washington don't believe the country has mastered the technology needed to manufacture nuclear warheads that are small and light enough to be placed on a missile capable of reaching the U.S.
U.S. officials said the North has recently withdrawn two mid-range "Musudan" missiles believed to be capable of reaching Guam after moving them to its east coast during the recent tensions.
The Korean Peninsula officially remains in a state of war because the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty. South Korea's Defense Ministry said Sunday it has deployed dozens of Israeli-made precision guided missiles on front-line islands near the disputed western sea boundary as part of an arms buildup begun after a North Korean artillery strike on one of the islands in 2010 killed four South Koreans.

Just Say No to Drafts in the Home
Do the candles on your table gutter in a steady breeze, even though none of the windows are open? Can you see tumbleweeds drifting across the hall? Are your drapes swinging ethereally? Your house might be haunted...but it's probably just drafty, and that's going to drive your heating bills way up, way fast. It's time to say goodbye to drafts for 2014, because you deserve better than eight layers of blankets and chattering teeth every time the mercury drops.
If you have a draft problem in your house, chances are you have a rough idea of where the problem's originating, but take a closer look. Common culprits are doors and windows, both of which tend to expand and contract (along with their frames) when temperature and humidity levels change. Over time, that can lead to permanent warping, which creates openings for cold air to come howling in. Inside the house, it's common for drafts to creep in under doors, making it hard to control the temperature from room to room.
Poorly insulated homes can develop drafts from small openings to the inside courtesy of worn siding and roofing (another good reason to have your roof inspected and consider adding attic insulation if you haven't done so already). Another possible source is your chimney, which isn't supposed to let cold air in, but might be doing just that if it's not properly maintained or you're leaving the flue wide open.
At Grist, Umbra notes that electrical receptacles, plates, and switches can be another source of drafts, as can vents. If you live in an area where you need air conditioning in the summer and you use a window-mounted unit, that's another potential source of problems, as air may be leaking in around improper seals.
Windows and doors are a good first line of attack for handling drafts. Add weather stripping to further insulate them, and consider using heavy curtains on windows to limit both drafts and heat loss through the windows themselves. You can also add draft catchers to the bottoms of your doors: fill an old sock or a simple fabric tube with beans, rice, or some other stuffing material and run it along the bottom of the door. This will block gusts of cold air and help you stabilize the interior temperature.
If you haven't had your chimney inspected in a while, get on it, and make sure the flue is in good shape. Confirm that everyone in the household knows how to use the stove or fireplace, which will reduce the risk of fires in addition to encouraging everyone to avoid drafts by using your heating source properly. If the problem lies in your electrical system, low-cost foam insulation kits are available and they allow you to quickly seal up drafts around your electrical outlets as well as vents.
If that New York air conditioning unit is letting in gusts of cold air, take it out of the window and store it for winter, if you have the room. (This is also a great time for cleaning the unit and going over it to make sure it's in good shape.) If this isn't feasible, check around the edges for gaps, and consider buying an insulating cover to prevent heat loss through the unit.
Be vigilant about drafts. Cracks in your home can represent a major source of heat loss, and they are a big contributor to heating bills. They can also be a sign of a more serious problem; for example, if you have drafts coming up through your floors, you may have an issue with the subfloor that needs to be addressed!

Justin Bieber Robbery Accuser BUSTED ... By Bat Girl
Bieber Accuser Busted ... By Bat Girl
The jig is up for the woman who accused Justin Bieber of attempted robbery this week -- an employee at the L.A. batting cage where the incident occurred tells TMZ, Bieber NEVER tried to rob anyone ... he never even touched the woman.
The Sherman Oaks Castle Park employee called in to "TMZ Live" moments ago, claiming she witnessed the heated exchange Monday night between Bieber and the woman who was taking photos of him.
The employee says the woman was definitely the instigator, being overly aggressive and ignoring security's requests to stop snapping pics. She says Bieber was upset, but never got physical with the woman in any way ... and definitely didn't try to grab her phone.
Sources close to Bieber tell us, the singer lost his cool because the flash kept distracting him while he was trying to bat.
The employee says surveillance video would back her up -- but it's unlikely the security cameras caught what happened ... the incident was too far away.

Anne-Marie Slaughter, the Bert G. Kerstetter '66 University Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University and former dean of the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, has been selected to serve as the next president of the New America Foundation.
The foundation announced the appointment April 3. Slaughter will start her new position on Sept. 1 and transfer to emerita status at the University.
"The New America Foundation has made an inspired choice for its next president and I am delighted to congratulate Anne-Marie Slaughter on her appointment," said Princeton University President Shirley M. Tilghman. "This is an excellent opportunity for her, and it will allow her to continue to provide national and global leadership on a broad range of important issues. She leaves an indelible mark on Princeton where, as dean of the Woodrow Wilson School, she significantly strengthened the study and teaching of public policy in a myriad of ways, and where as both dean and faculty member she has had a lasting impact on the many students she inspired to pursue public service. We wish her every success."
"I have loved my decade first as dean and then as professor here," Slaughter wrote in a message to the Wilson School community. "It is hard to leave such extraordinary students, who teach me as much as I teach them and keep me young; so many wonderful staff members, without whom the School simply could not run; and a faculty second to none in melding brilliant disciplinary work with a deep commitment to addressing important public policy problems. But it is time for me to move one step closer to putting ideas into action."
Slaughter was dean of the Wilson School from 2002 to 2009. From 2009 to 2011, she served as director of policy planning for the U.S. Department of State, becoming the first woman to hold that position.
As the author of the July/August 2012 cover story for The Atlantic, "Why Women Still Can't Have It All," Slaughter has also advanced a national conversation about the struggles women face when balancing careers and family.
She is currently a member of the board of the New America Foundation, a nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy institute that invests in new thinkers and new ideas to address the next generation of challenges facing the United States.
Slaughter, a 1980 Princeton alumna who majored in the Wilson School, is credited with rebuilding the international relations faculty during her time as dean. She also increased the size of the faculty — strengthening traditional research capacity and teaching expertise in public and international affairs while expanding to other disciplines relevant to public policy, including history and the sciences.
In addition, Slaughter expanded the school's one-year master in public policy degree program, to include specialized concentrations for medical doctors, lawyers and Ph.D. scientists, and helped create a joint Ph.D. program in social policy. She was instrumental in creating and launching Princeton's Scholars in the Nation's Service Initiative, a scholarship program that encourages the nation's most talented students to pursue careers in the U.S. government, especially in the area of international relations.
Slaughter oversaw the creation of new research centers and programs while serving as dean, including the Niehaus Center for Globalization and Governance; the Princeton-Harvard China and the World Program; the Policy Research Institute for the Region; and Institutions for Fragile States.
Slaughter has written or edited six books, including "A New World Order" (2004) and "The Idea That Is America: Keeping Faith With Our Values in a Dangerous World" (2007), and more than 100 scholarly articles.
She received her M.Phil. and D.Phil. degrees in international relations from the University of Oxford in 1982 and 1992, respectively, and her law degree from Harvard Law School in 1985.

If your local pitch becomes dangerous or hazardous it's important to identify a problem and act quickly. Examples of things to look out for on multi use games areas include the anti-slip paint fading from the surface this would mean that the surfaces anti-slip qualities have worn off meaning the surfacing is no longer suitable for competition standards as well as putting users safety at risk. Possible explanations for this include high usage or the wrong footwear being worn on the multisport flooring near me, if acted quickly upon the correct anti-slip rating can be maintained by applying a flash coat. Regular upkeep is important for all kinds of outdoor surfaces in your surrounding area, including others that we install like garden grass, golf greens and synthetic cricket wickets http://artificialgrass-syntheticturf.co.uk/other/cricket-wicket-surface-facility/ so be sure to look into all of your options.
It is important to maintain infill levels on both 2G and 3G multisport surfaces as if the infill becomes to compact this can inhibit drainage. Failing to monitor and maintain sand and rubber infill levels can also lead to the artificial turf pile height wearing down. This can affect the playing qualities of your area and can lead to having the whole synthetic grass replaced.
Pitch rejuvenation is the process of replacing dirty sand infill with brand new infill to improve the porosity of the facility. In some cases the infill will not have to be replaced, but can be cleaned and installed again. The first part of our rejuvenation process is removing the dirty sand-infill and then redistributing the clean infill across the pitch. It's important to regularly redistribute the infill to make sure that the water can still drain through the surface. Should the infill is not redistributed often, the pores in the surface could become blocked which could cause the pitch to flood or become water logged.
If you are interested in finding out more about how to maintain your MUGA, please do not hesitate to contact our team. We would be more than happy to answer any questions or queries you have regarding the upkeep of the multisport facility. Simply send us over your details and we'll contact you asking for photos and area size where we may decide what maintenance work needs to be done.

3D Realms Sees Major Employee Departures, Fate of DNF in Question?
Developers confirmed to have left 3D Realms since last December include Scott Alden, Will Bate, Brian Cozzens, Kyle Davis, Andy Hanson, Keith Schuler, and Charlie Wiederhold. Some of the former employees headed up crucial game systems such as physics, animation, and rendering. Notably, Schuler is a sixteen year veteran of Apogee and 3D Realms. Our sources indicate that while the game's team has reached a size of about 24-28 developers, recently it has been closer to 18, meaning these current departures may actually comprise a majority of the team. Several sources have indicated that further information regarding these matters is expected next week.
3D Realms' George Broussard, who heads up the Duke Nukem Forever project, is known to hold a perfectionist attitude towards the game, which is in large part responsible for its many delays. The game has been revamped with new engines multiple times, further prolonging development time as game assets and levels have had to be rebuilt. Some sources speculate that, unless major changes are made to the development process, the game may never see the light of day. A Prey-like rebirth under a new developer supervised by 3D Realms may be a potential consideration, but descriptions from those close to Broussard suggest that he would be unlikely to approve such a direction.
3D Realms officials have been contacted for formal comment by Shacknews, but did not respond by press time.
Update: Shacknews has learned that four of the employees named above--Brian Cozzens, Kyle Davis, Keith Schuler, and Charlie Wiederhold--are now working for Brothers in Arms series developer Gearbox Software. Wiederhold's employment at Gearbox was already public knowledge. These four employees were key members of the Duke Nukem Forever team and led various aspects of development.

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) -- Two Romanian plants believed to be the source of horsemeat mislabeled as beef in supermarkets across Europe declared it properly and any fraud was committed somewhere else down the line, officials said Monday.
Romania is scrambling to contain the damage from the fast-growing horsemeat scandal — where the cheaper meat was substituted for beef in everything from burgers to frozen lasagna. The finger-pointing is growing by the day, involving more countries and more companies.
France says that Romanian butchers and Dutch and Cypriot traders were part of a supply chain that resulted in horsemeat being labeled as beef before it was included in frozen dinners including lasagna, moussaka and the French equivalent of Shepherd's Pie. The affair started earlier this year with worries about horsemeat in burgers in Ireland and Britain.
Horsemeat is largely taboo in Britain and some other countries, though in France it is sold in specialty butcher shops and is prized by some connoisseurs. Authorities aren't worried about health effects, but it has unsettled consumers across Europe and raised questions about producers misleading the public.
A maze of trading between meat wholesalers has made it increasingly difficult to trace the origins of food. France's agricultural minister said Monday that regulators must find a way "out of the fog."
One of the slaughterhouses implicated, Carmolimp, said in a statement its meat was properly labeled as horsemeat, adding that it had not exported beef in 2012.
It called attempts to blame it for the scandal "shameful," suggesting that only an incompetent French meat processor would mistake the horsemeat for beef.
Romania has some 25 horsemeat slaughterhouses and exports horsemeat to Cyprus, France, Poland and the Netherlands, often through middlemen, officials said.
In deeply rural Romania, horses are sold from individual households to abattoirs, and each animal has four sets of documents before its meat is exported.
Romanian authorities stopped short of confirming that the two slaughterhouses were the source of the horsemeat. But they said they checked paperwork that shows they were not improperly mislabeling meat before it was shipped out of the country to middlemen.
Prime Minister Victor Ponta said Monday there were no direct contracts between the Romanian plants and French companies and that the meat would have been mislabeled somewhere else along the line.
"We can now ask that the guilty parties are sanctioned as fast and firmly as possible," he said. "I want to help catch and punish the guilty ones... .. We are victims of this fraud."
An initial investigation by French safety authorities determined that French company Poujol bought frozen meat from a Cypriot trader. That trader had received it from a Dutch food trader, and that Dutch company had received the meat from two Romanian slaughterhouses.
Swedish officials were meeting Monday with executives from the biggest supermarket chains to get an overview of how widespread the fraud is, while in Paris top French government officials and meat producers were gathering to get a handle on the crisis, which has snared a French food processing company, Comigel.
The Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority also said Monday it was launching an investigation into the horsemeat scandal.
In Oslo, Findus said it was recalling lasagna from stores in Norway although it had found no evidence that they contained anything but the declared ingredients. A company statement said it that none of its products had been produced by Comigel after Aug. 1, 2012 — the date after which batches of processed food contained horsemeat.
Re-tracing the path of the mislabeled meat will take time. Processed foods, unlike fresh, do not need to be labeled by their countries of origin in Europe. And typical frozen meals like the ones being pulled from supermarket shelves across Europe can have more than a dozen ingredients from all over.
French Agriculture Minister Stephane Le Foll said the results of the French investigation into the horsemeat fraud would be released Wednesday.
No one has reported health risks from the mislabeled meat. But clearly some company in the food chain benefited from selling the much cheaper horsemeat as beef.
"There are people who are out there to defraud, who are looking to cheat," Le Foll told RTL radio.
Sorin Minea, who heads Romania's main food producers' association, claimed Monday in an interview that international gangs had perpetrated the fraud. "There is an international ring that does this... the documents (relating to the meat) are changed abroad," he said.
An expert would know the difference between horsemeat and beef and would be unlikely to mislabel it by accident.
"If the buyer is suspicious they have to check it at the source," he said.
Michel Barnier, a former French agricultural minister who now works at the European Union level, said it was not an issue of food safety but of justice.
"Consumers have the right to the truth, quality, and transparence. We have to do more in tracking," he told Europe 1 radio.
Findus Sweden plans to sue France's Comigel for breach of contract and fraud, Findus Nordic CEO Jari Latvanen said.
He said the company's deal with Comigel stipulates that the beef in the frozen lasagna should come from Germany, France or Austria, but that has not been the case.
Associated Press writer Lori Hinnant in Paris, Mike Corder in the Hague, Netherlands and Karl Ritter in Stockholm contributed to this report.

RPi Screw Connector Breakout Board
If there ever was a hardware project suitable for a noob this is probably it.
This Project comes from the inventiveness of Mike Cook and I have included links to his excellent support video.
This video shows the assembly of the protected version which uses surface mounted components.
I should say that when it says solderless it refers to any connections you make to the RPi (ribbon cable) and the breakout ports (screw terminals) the board its self will require some soldering (not a lot but some).
The following text is shamelessly hacked from Mikes web page here and edited with permission for inclusion here.
All the diagrams have been produced by Mike and are available for download (the link appears later on).
This solder-less screw terminal access break out board connects to the RPi through a ribbon cable and transfers the signals to labelled screw terminals.
There are three versions presented here. One that just transfers the data signals, and two that offer some form of protection for the processor's GPIO lines.
It is suggested that if this is to be approached as a novice project then you should be aware that
- The first basic unbuffered project is probably the easiest but this is the one that affords the lowest level of protection for your RPi.
- The second the buffered version adds protection for your RPi this is small and compact.
- The third option which Mike calls the through hole version is the phisicaly larger option this actually makes it easier for a novice to build it offers protection for your RPi and is probably the best option.
Overall none of these are big projects the materials are cheap and without a douubt this is the project that will allow you to to have a RasperryPi that will interface with the outside world.
We hope we will be able to follow this up with some simple projects to go with this board.
- 1 Screw Connection Breakout Board (The Detail)
- 2 Basic Breakout
- 3 Protected Version
- 4 The Though Hole version
- 5 Stage 1 Track breaks underside
- 6 Stage 2 link wires topside
- 7 Stage 3 - 26 Way latch headder
- 8 Stage 4 - Screw block connectors
- 9 Stage 5 Resistors
- 10 Stage 6 Zener Diodes and LED
- 11 Stage 7 TEST THIS IS IMPORTANT SEE VIDEO
- 12 Stage 8 Wrap and Ribbon
Screw Connection Breakout Board (The Detail)
Fig1 The left image shows the header with a ribbon cable connected Fig2 The right image a view of finished screw connections.
At the top left hand corner of the Pi is a 26 pin header labelled P1.
Information on how to make the connection can be found on the RPi_Low-level_peripherals wiki page.
It is here you can get access to logic signals that provide inputs and outputs to the computer.
The P1 header is designed to connect to a 26 way two row 1.2xx mm pitch IDC connector.
IDC stands for Insulation Displacement Cable and is a way of making lots of connections with minimum effort.
It works by having ribbon cable, named after the first world war flaying ace Barron von Ribbon Cable, being cut into by a special connector.
This is quite a precise connector because it cuts through the cable's insulation without cutting through the conductor.
Hence the name insulation displacement. It practice it is easy enough to construct a cable.
Simply slide the connector on the ribbon cable and apply pressure.
This can be from a purpose made press or if you are only doing a few you can squeeze it up in a vice.
You can get a cute set of pliers to do this job but to be honest a small bench vice will do a better job.
The trick is to get the cable carefully aligned, apply a bit of pressure, check the alignment again and finally tighten the vice.
Being careful not to crush the whole assembly.
Basic Breakout
This cable then connects to a 26 way latched header on the breakout board.
The board is built onto strip (veroboard) board and the header has 0.1" spacing.
This means you have to cut away a small slice of copper between the rows of holes to prevent each pair of connections shorting out.
You can do this by using a very sharp knife, I used a scalpel with replaceable blades.
The technique is simple, get a steel rule and score a line along the copper strips.
Then move the rule about 1mm and score again.
Then you remove the copper in between the two score lines with a scooping motion of the knife.
You get a nice clean break. Examine it carefully to make sure there are no whiskers of copper still joining the two sides.
Then you can solder the header onto the board and also the screw connectors.
If you are using the basic, no protection circuit then that is about it.
All you need to do is to wire each one of the active pins through to a screw terminal connector.
You can do this basically in two ways.
First of you can arrange the screw connectors in any grouping you like and use flexible wire to connect up each terminal to each pin.
Or you can use tinned copper wire to make links.
By using horizontal links only and a few extra track cuts on the underside you can make quite a neat job.
If you want to take this approach then the layout for top and bottom of the board are like this:-
Fig4 & Fig5
The added extra you will spot here is an LED and resistor, this is useful to have to give you assurance that the board is connected correctly and is getting power.
If you want a larger version of this layout, all the diagrams are downloadable here:- Breakout Diagrams.zip
If you want to incorporate this sort of protection into the break out board then the neatest way to do it is by using surface mounting components.
The inexperienced are often wary of using these but it is not too difficult to cope with.
You need a good pair of tweezers and a fine tipped soldering iron.
The ides is that the resistors are soldered across a hole in the board where the copper on both sides of the hole has been removed by a scalpel.
This is done after each screw connector apart from the two power and the ground pins.
So for example look at the G9 input and you will see the resistor as a small box and each side you will see the shading that represents a cut.
As I mentioned before larger images of this are available as a download.
The zener diodes are soldered between tracks with the side with two connectors on being the anode and the side with a single connector the cathode. The layout also includes two ground link lines.
There are where the tinned copper wire is pushed through the same hole to form a link on both sides.
You can see from the grey hole on the layout where these are. You can just about get away with 24 gauge wire but 25 to 30 AWG will be a touch easer to use.
The is a video linked at the top of this page showing how this was constructed.
Protected Version
The snag with just having the raw output available to inexperienced people is that accidents or errors in wiring often prove fatal for the GPIO pins, and while a Raspberry Pi is not very expensive to replace for a few pence you can save that money to spend on other things.
This protection circuit does not prevent the GPIO pin being used as an input or an output but it will protect them from a moderate amount of abuse. It uses a zener diode across the input. Basically this will prevent the input voltage from going any higher than 3V3 because at that voltage it breaks down and starts to conduct thus clamping the maximum voltage on the GPIO pin at 3V3.
Also is a negative voltage is applied then it acts like a normal diode and conducts preventing more than -0.7V being applied to the pin. Voltages outside this range will damage the GPIO pins. The 330R resistor will limit the current flow through the zener, dropping the excess voltage between that applied and 3V3 across it.
Thus the GPIO is protected when it is used as an input. However, it also has a role in protection when the GPIO pin is used as an output. By limiting the output current to a maximum of 10mA it will stop the GPIO pin from being overloaded. Also if the pin is being used as an input and a switch is connected between the input and ground, there is protection if the pin is accidentally made an output and the switch is grounded.
This would normally be a fatal condition but this simple resistor prevents it from happening.
This circuit also allows an LED to be connected directly to the board, but always remember to teach people that a resistor is needed in the circuit it just happens to be built in here.
There is a down side to protection, there always is, and it is that you can't get more than 10mA from the GPIO pin and any logic you drive will only be pulled down to zero through 330R. Fortunately most logic families nowadays can cope with this.
Fig7 & Fig8
If you want to incorporate this sort of protection into the break out board then the neatest way to do it is by using surface mounting components.
The inexperienced are often wary of using these but it is not too difficult to cope with.
You need a good pair of tweezers and a fine tipped soldering iron.
The idea is that the resistors are soldered across a hole in the board where the copper on both sides of the hole has been removed by a scalpel.
Fig9 An example of two surface mount resistors soldered in place.
This is done after each screw connector apart from the two power and the ground pins. So for example look at the G9 input and you will see the resistor as a small box and each side you will see the shading that represents a cut.
As I mentioned before larger images of this are available as a download.
The zener diodes are soldered between tracks with the side with two connectors on being the anode and the side with a single connector the cathode.
Fig10 An example of a surface mount zener diode soldered along side a surface mount resistor.
The layout also includes two ground link lines.
There are where the tinned copper wire is pushed through the same hole to form a link on both sides.
You can see from the grey hole on the layout where these are. You can just about get away with 24 gauge wire but 25 to 30 AWG will be a touch easer to use.
There is a video link at the top of this page showing how this version was constructed.
The Though Hole version
For those of you for whom surface mount still fills you with dread.
We have a through hole component version.
At this time this version has not been fully tested but if you follow the same testing procedure shown in the assembly video for the surface mount version (link at the top of the page) it can be considered safe.
It is however worth noting that zener diodes are directional components and like the LED should be mounted as shown.
It turns out to be a bit bigger and the links are a bit more complex but it is probably easer to build for a novice as we have progressive diagrams.
Parts List with some guide prices from the time of writing is available Here
Stage 1 Track breaks underside
Fig11 Here we have a diagram of the underside of the board showing the inital track cuts note there have been 3 rows added top and bottom to allow space for lables.
Without label space the vero board is 24 tracks wide by 22 holes long with space for labels 28 long. 42 Track breaks
Stage 2 link wires topside
Fig12 Unlike the surface mount version the next stage is the link wires inserted from the top surface.
Notice where the line of the link wire appears to break at a hole.
Fig13 Here we see a close up section of (Fig12) this shows the three ways a joint wire can be mounted with an explanation of link wire break.
- Two wires at the hole on left one right both go down through the board and are soldered to the track underneath.
- The wire passes over the hole and is therfore not soldered.
- A single wire terminates at a hole drops down through the board and is soldered to the trck underneath.
Stage 3 - 26 Way latch headder
Fig14 This is the topside latch fix connector for your ribbon cable there is a good section in the video for this the diagram shows some of the connectors soldered and some not but if you solder them all neatly it will not harm and you will not end up in a situation where a blank has a connection and one that should does not.
Stage 4 - Screw block connectors
Again see the video also this design has rows for the lables remember not to mount them right to the edge of the board
Fig15 Take care to mount them in the correct places noting the different positions for the three and four screw versions.
Stage 5 Resistors
Fig16 The resistors are positioned vertically and are not directional as all your resistors are of the same value you should not get them mixed up this is not true for almost any other project.
You may also notice all of the resistors connect along a track and straddle a break in the track except the one that shares the track with the LED Top Left.
So if you come to place a resistor and after insertion you notice as you come to solder it that it does not straddle a break in the track.
Then you have either placed the track cut or the resistor or both in the wrong place unless it's the one with the LED.
Fig17 This is a picture of a verticaly mounted resistor this is not from this curcuit but it does demonstate the method.
Stage 6 Zener Diodes and LED
Fig18 The vertical mounting goes for the zeners marked in red all except one thats mouted horizontally.
Where as it does not matter which way round the resistors go it does for the zeners and the LED.
The cathode should be the top connector, this is normally marked with a band.
The long leg (Anode) of the LED should go to the 5V line.
The short leg (Cathode) is somtimes indicated by a flat on the plastic casing of the LED.
Stage 7 TEST THIS IS IMPORTANT SEE VIDEO
This Project comes from the inventiveness of Mike Cook and the following links to his excellent support video showing the assembly of the protected version with the testing procedure applicable to all versions.
It is important that the protection is tested before it is used so that you can be sure it is working.
This requires that you use a multimeter, these can be bought for cheap even Maplins do a basic one for £7.99.
Thorough testing involves three types of test:-
1) Test for shorts.
Put the meter on continuity test, some meters bleep when there is continuity.
Put one probe on a pin of the IDC header, and touch the other probe on the (up to) five pins surrounding it.
There should be no continuity. Repeat this for all the pins on the header.
2) Test the series resistors.
Check the resistance between the screw terminal and the appropriate pin on the IDC header. This resistance should be zero or very close for the +5V,
3V3 and Ground connections and 330R (Ohms) for the GPIO signal lines.
If you do not measure this then check that the cuts in the track are made correctly and the soldered joints are good.
3) Over voltage protection.
- Put your meter onto volts.
- Connect the ground of a power supply with the ground of the breakout board.
- Connect the negative terminal of your meter to the ground of the breakout board or power supply.
- Connect the +5V line of the power supply to A screw connector GPIO pin.
- Measure the voltage at the appropriate pin on the IDC header, you should see a voltage of 3v3 (three point three)
- Repeat this for all the GPIO screw connectors.
Stage 8 Wrap and Ribbon
Then what ever version you use you want to label the connectors.
As mentioned earlier it is worth leaving an three rows of holes in front of the screw connectors to do this.
The labels can be self adhesive labels cut to size and written by hand or can be printed from a computer or label printing machine for a neater look.
Remember that the top row labels will need to be rotated 180 degrees so it reads correctly.
Finally before using the board it is a good idea to test it AGAIN to make sure the protection is working you do not want a smoking RaspberryPi.
First measure the resistance between each header pin and the corresponding screw output.
It should be 330R, a reading of zero or very low indicates the copper has not been cut completely where as a high resistance implies a bad joint or resistor. Then you need to test the zeners, wire up the board to an external 5V power supply through the 5V and ground connectors.
The green LED should light. Next remove the 5V line and connect it to each screw input in turn.
Then measure the voltage on the corresponding header pin and make sure it is no more than 3.9V (The V between the 3 and 9 indicates the position of the decimal point), any more suggests the zener is not soldered correctly or the ground is not correct. A voltage lower than 1V suggests that the zener has been placed the wrong way round.
Detail on assembly of ribbon cable is best generic and assembly of this is the same for all three designs.
The following image does show one key point of the cable.
Fig19 Notice how the sockets point in oposite directions relative to the cable get this wrong and the pin order is wrong.
If all is good it is time to connect it up to the Pi.
The key on the cable should be pointing into the Pi and the cable away from it.
I put a dab of white correcting fluid on the connectors to mark the correct way it should fit.
Note The latching connector on the breakout has a key block and can only be connected one way round the same is not true for the headder on your RPi.
Now power up the Pi and the green LED should light.
If not check the cable again and particularly the way it is constructed.
So now you have easy solder less access to the Pi's GPIO ports along with a modicum of protection, ready for your exploration of the GPIO pins and their possibilities.

I often use the internet to find resources for learning new mathematics and due to an explosion in online activity, there is always plenty to find. Many of these turn out to be somewhat unreadable because of writing quality, organization or presentation.
I recently found out that "The Elements of Statistical Learning' by Hastie, Tibshirani and Friedman was available free online: http://www-stat.stanford.edu/~tibs/ElemStatLearn/ . It is a really well written book at a high technical level. Moreover, this is the second edition which means the book has already gone through quite a few levels of editing.
I was quite amazed to see a resource like this available free online.
Now, my question is, are there more resources like this? Are there free mathematics books that have it all: well-written, well-illustrated, properly typeset and so on?
Now, on the one hand, I have been saying 'book' but I am sure that good mathematical writing online is not limited to just books. On the other hand, I definitely don't mean the typical journal article. It's hard to come up with good criteria on this score, but I am talking about writing that is reasonably lengthy, addresses several topics and whose purpose is essentially pedagogical.
If so, I'd love to hear about them. Please suggest just one resource per comment so we can vote them up and provide a link!

I have been reading Alan Watts and listening to his lectures since the early nineties. This led me to the Suzukis and to additional Buddhist literature, which I devoured over the course of the years. I found Zen philosophy very appealing, and I always called myself a Buddhist. But practice makes a Buddhist, not study. And yet, I did not practice for many years.
What got me to practice was the portrayal of Zen in popular culture. Although it may seem odd, I started sitting after seeing the movie "Fight Club," which has nothing to do with sitting but plenty to do with Zen (in an odd sort of way). My call to the cushion, so to speak, came the first time I heard Tyler Durden utter these words: "you are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else."
strange story, but true. Anyone else motivated by a popular culture reference?

MIAMI (AP)—Another man on Monday sued the former Elmo puppeteer who resigned amid sex abuse allegations, claiming the voice actor befriended him in Miami and promised to be a father figure before flying the teen to New York to have sex with him.
The alleged victim is now the fourth to accuse Kevin Clash, who resigned from Sesame Street last month after 28 years. The three legal actions filed so far have been civil cases seeking financial compensation.
But the incident with the latest victim, referred to only as S.M., could involve criminal charges because the lawsuit claims Clash transported him across state lines for the purpose of engaging in sexual activity.
Attorney Jeff Herman said he encouraged his client to report the incident to authorities but it's unclear if the now-33-year-old alleged victim has done so.
Sexual abuse allegations against Clash triggered a media frenzy last month. He quickly denied the first claim, which was recanted the next day. But Clash then resigned after a 24-year-old college student, Cecil Singleton, sued him for $5 million, saying the actor engaged in sexual behavior with him when he was 15.
Singleton claims the voice actor met him in New York a dozen years ago after trolling gay telephone chat lines and seeking underage boys for sex.
In the latest case, the plaintiff said Clash approached him on Miami Beach, complimented his appearance and struck up a friendship. Clash returned home to New York, but stayed in touch with the teen, promising to be a dad to him. The youth, who was 16 or 17 at the time, had been molested by a teacher and was considering running away from home, according to the lawsuit.
"These are all vulnerable boys. None of them had father figures in their lives and they were looking for that father figure," said Herman, who represents three of the alleged victims.
The lawsuit says Clash paid for a plane ticket from Florida to New York in 1996 and arranged for a car service to pick up the teen and bring him to his upscale apartment, where he gave him cash and showered him with "attention and affection" and ultimately engaged in numerous sexual acts.
Herman said he is poring over receipts and other documents to see if the car service was paid for by Clash's employers at Sesame Street.
Clash's attorney Michael Berger said in a statement that "the lawsuit is without merit and we will vigorously defend the case and Mr. Clash's reputation."
Sesame Street publicist Ellen Lewis said "we're confident in the actions that we took," but declined further comment, saying it was an issue between litigants.
Herman said the alleged victims didn't come forward sooner because they were afraid, but have found courage as others have spoken up.
He said they are compliant victims who participated in the sexual acts, but didn't consent because it's illegal for a minor to do so.
"Because they participated in the sex they feel like they're doing something wrong…they're ashamed, they're embarrassed, not something they really want to talk about," he said.
Herman said he's been contacted by several other possible victims and is vetting their cases.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama on Monday said there was "no excuse" for the cascade of computer problems that have marred the rollout of a key element in his health care law, but declared he was confident the administration would be able to fix the issues.
"There's no sugarcoating it," Obama said. "Nobody is more frustrated than I am."
The president said his administration was doing "everything we can possibly do" to get the federally run websites where people are supposed to apply for insurance up and running. That includes bringing in additional technology experts from inside and outside the government to work on the issues.
People have until March 31 to sign up for coverage. The non-partisan Congressional Budget Office had projected that about 7 million people would gain coverage through the exchanges during the first year.
The president on Monday guaranteed that everyone who wants to get insurance through the new health care exchanges will be able to, even if they have to enroll over the phone or fill out a paper application. The White House also appeared to open the door to the possibility that people trying to purchase insurance who were confounded by website problems might be exempted from the law's penalty for remaining uninsured after March 31.
Obama's event in the White House Rose Garden had the feeling of a health care pep rally, with guests in the Rose Garden applauding as Obama ticked through what the White House sees as benefits of the law. The president was introduced by a woman who had successfully managed to sign up for health insurance through the marketplaces in her home state of Delaware.
The rollout failures have been deeply embarrassing for the White House. The issues have called into question whether the administration is capable of implementing the complex policy and why senior White House officials – including the president – appear to have been unaware of the scope of the problems when the exchange sites opened on Oct. 1.
Obama, in his most extensive remarks about the health care problems, insisted Monday that the health care law is about more than just a website.
"The essence of the law, the health insurance that's available to people, is working just fine," he said during his 25-minute remarks.
The White House says more than 19 million people have visited HealthCare.gov since the site went live on Oct. 1. Officials also say a half million people have applied for insurance on the federal- and state-run websites.
Although administration officials have acknowledged issues with software and some elements of the system's design, they have repeatedly cited high consumer interest as among the factors overwhelming the website when people try to log on.
"There's no question that the volume has caused some of the problems but also exposed some of the problems," White House spokesman Jay Carney said Monday.
However, Carney and other White House officials have yet to fully detail exactly what went wrong with the online system consumers were supposed to use to sign up for coverage. And Obama on Monday did not explain the problems in detail or why they were not fixed before sign-ups opened to the public.
Officials say that at this point they are not considering extending the enrollment window beyond March 31. They also say they are not considering taking the website down for an extended period of time to address the problem, but instead will do that maintenance during low-traffic overnight hours.
But Carney did appear to open the door to not penalizing those whose efforts to sign up were confounded by the system's problems.
"The law is clear that if you do not have access to affordable health insurance, you will not be forced to pay a penalty," Carney said, without elaborating
Obama, meanwhile, did acknowledge that the failures would provide new fodder for opponents of the law, often referred to as "Obamacare." With the website not working as intended, "that makes a lot of supporters nervous," he said.
But he said, "it's time for folks to stop rooting for its failure."
In an ironic twist, the problems with the health care rollout were overshadowed at first by Republican efforts to delay or defund the law in exchange for reopening the government during the 16-day shutdown. The bill that eventually reopened the government included no substantive changes to the health care law.
With the shutdown over, GOP lawmakers have been ramping up their criticism of the health care law's troubles.
"An overhauled website isn't going to fix the underlying fact that Obamacare is not a workable law," Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., said. "I urge the president and my colleagues across the aisle to recognize the harm being done and set aside their pride to stop the most damaging provisions of the law, or better yet, to repeal and replace it."
Listen below to "NewsOne Now" listeners' experiences with the Obamacare signup process, which they shared on-air this morning. "I've tried to go on [the site] every day since it started … at least three to four times a day," said one caller, who has still had no luck signing up.
Be sure to tune in to "NewsOne Now" with Roland Martin weekdays at 10 am EST.
President: 'No Excuse' For Obamacare Signup Glitches was originally published on newsone.com
