Irrawaddy dolphin population in Chilika drops
Berhampur: The population of Irrawaddy dolphin in Chilika lake, famous for one of the biggest habitats for the sea mammal, dwindled as their number dropped from 153 in 2013 to 144 this year, state's Chief Wildlife Warden S S Srivastav said.
"Population of dolphin in the lake reduced this time perhaps due to migration of sea animals from the lagoon to other areas, mainly to Bhitarakania," Srivastav said.
The dolphin census in the lake could not be conducted successfully last year due to bad weather, said a senior officer of the wildlife department.
The wildlife organisation of forest department conducted the annual survey of dolphin population in entire Chilika as well as 480-km long Odisha coast on February 15.
The dolphin count was conducted on the basis of line-transect method, which was followed across the world to count the population of aquatic mammals, said a senior officer of the wildlife department.
Even though entire 1100 sq km lake was covered during the enumeration, most of the sea mammals were found in the sea channels near Satapada area, the official said.
The enumerators, consisting of the wildlife experts, have counted total 206 Irrawaddy dolphins in the entire coast, including Chilika lake, Srivastav said.
The other new places where the Irrawaddy dolphins were sighted by the enumerating teams were Hitaraknaiak-Gahiramatha National Park (58) and Bhadrak forest division (4), the chief wildlife warden said.
As many as 450 dolphins of 7 species were enumerated in the entire coast of the state which was conducted for the first time. Irrawaddy dolphins (206) topped the list. The others are Bottlenose (52), souse chinesis (125) and souse plumber (50) of Humpback species, pan tropical dolphin (15) and one each of Finless propoise and Ganges river dolphins.

THE SECRET OF THE INDIA ORCHID, by Nancy Campbell Allen, Shadow Mountain, Aug. 1, 2017, Softcover, $15.99 (young adult/new adult)
The Secret of the India Orchid is the newest offering in Shadow Mountain's Proper Romance line. As such, it's a little bit predictable, but if you enjoy a clean romance, you won't mind one bit.
What does differentiates this novel from others in the series is its setting — India. The Secret of the India Orchid opens in England as Anthony Blake prepares to court his best friend's sister, Sophia Elliot. But before he can even ask the question, he's forced to leave the country.
Prior to his current life as the new Earl of Wilshire, Anthony was in the service of the Crown working as an undercover spy. Now, a secret document listing the names of the entire network of British spies — including his own — has been stolen, and Anthony has been tasked with tracking the document down. So Anthony breaks things off with Sophia, allowing her to think the worst of him while keeping her safe at the same time.
Anthony's sudden rejection hits Sophia like a million continuous slaps to the face. He was so attentive and now he's gallivanting about the empire and acting very much the flirtatious playboy. With nothing and no one holding her down, Sophia decides to travel to India. The exotic land may be just what she needs to finally heal.
The minute she arrives, however, Sophia finds herself once again face-to-face with Anthony. Not only that, but a sea captain has gone missing — possibly murdered — someone is terrorizing a young boy and it seems she may be the next target. Sophia still loves Anthony, and she can tell there's still a spark inside him as well. Somehow, everything is connected, and Sophia's not going to leave India until she has the answers once and for all.
Spoiler alert! If you guessed Anthony and Sophia end up together in the end — ding, ding, ding, you're a winner! This should come as no surprise to anyone who has ever read a book in the series; it's kind of the formula each one follows. That should not, however, deter you from reading The Secret of the India Orchid.
Author Nancy Campbell Allen's writing is like you're favorite pair of socks — comfortable and warm with a few snags here and there.
The author does a fine job transporting readers to an exotic and unknown land. And for the most part, it's a beautiful place. There's little talk of the slums here, but the majority of the British upper crust would never have reason to be exposed to that. There are a few questionable customs that do help drive the story forward.
At times, both Anthony and Sophia felt a little one-note, and I couldn't help but wonder if Allen's treatment was how people of the time actually acted or if that's how she perceived they would act. Either way, I found myself wishing for some more authentic moments.
The Secret of the India Orchid is a fast, easy and clean read. The multiple mysteries throughout keep the action moving forward and add a nice balance to the romance elements. I wouldn't say it's my favorite book from the Proper Romance series, but it certainly isn't the worst, either. It's a decent read, particularly for fans of this genre.

I thank Marilyn Burgess for her recent letter "Gun ownership not under attack" (Sun Journal, Jan. 25).
She is correct; the NRA invites responsible Maine gun owners to treat every proposal for a reasonable restriction on firearms as the road to Armageddon.
Independent-minded Mainers usually have the common sense to reject that type of histrionic trash from outside political groups tied to big money politics. For instance, Maine voters tend to ignore those political attack ads from out-of-state political action committees with millions of corporate dollars to spend at election time.
But for some reason, Maine sportsmen and women seem especially susceptible to the siren call of the NRA.
That is because the group has become expert at scare tactics alleging some grand government conspiracy to take away firearms. It is also because the NRA has changed over the years. The group was once a trusted adviser to hunters and shooters — one that participated in the debate and ultimately supported the firearms legislation in the 1960s after several political assassinations.
Can anyone imagine that happening today?
Throwing bombs from the back benches (armed guards in schools) is not participating in the debate.
Frightening responsible gun owners with doomsday scenarios (the government taking my gun from my cold dead hands) is not participating in the debate.
Burgess is right; we are smarter than that.

Janet Evans Biography - Born In Fullerton, California, Hard Work Pays Off, Chronology, Continues To Break Records - CONTACT INFORMATION
meter american olympics olympic
American swimmer
The first American woman to win four individual Olympic gold medals in swimming, Janet Evans first took to the water while still in diapers. At the very tender age of one, Evans went into the water at the North Orange County YMCA pool, not far from her home in Placentia, California. By the time the diminutive (5 feet, 4 inches and 99 pounds) Evans was 17, she had set three world records. At the 1988 Summer Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea, her trademark bursts of speed in the pool carried her to gold in three individual Olympic swimming events: the 400-meter and 800-meter freestyle swims and the 400-meter individual medley. Towards the end of each race, Evans would rapidly increase her stroke rate to propel her to a winning finish, often besting competitors as much as 60 pounds heavier and with longer arms and bodies. Evans, who qualified for the U.S. swim team at three successive Olympics (in 1988, 1992, and 1996), captured another gold medal at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona and in the process became the first woman to win the 800-meter freestyle in two consecutive Olympics. Although she qualified for the American swim team at Atlanta in 1996, Evans never came close to medaling and retired from competitive swimming not long thereafter.

CNC Machined Prototypes
Copesetic's CNC (Computer Numerical Controller) machining process produces extremely accurate high quality precision parts, duplicate parts and working prototypes in plastic or metal, or wood, with the ability to produce any complex shape and surfaces required. Using "MasterCAM" software, our CNC equipment is capable of up to 10,000 rpm's, and tooled with precise cutters as small as .010-inch diameter. With cutters this minute, we are able to create even the smallest of details, including engraved logos and text. Examples
The Stereolithography (SLA) process produces extremely high quality SLA prototypes quickly and efficiently, using UV laser technology to "selectively cure" epoxy photopolymers into a solid object defined by a 3D computer file. SLA is "generally considered" to provide the greatest accuracy and best surface finish of any "additive" rapid prototyping technology available today. We can produce SLA models quickly and efficiently from almost any type of 3D CAD file or from a simple sketch!
SLA will produce parts in a clear rigid material, or a semi-flexible material, simulating some of the properties of flexible thermoplastics such as polypropylene. Because of the SLA's accuracy and ability to reproduce fine details, SLA models are ideal for concept models, form and fit studies, or as master patterns for a variety of molding techniques, including patterns for investment or sand casting applications, or for 'rubber molding". Using a variety of methods, prototype models can be "duplicated" from one master pattern.
Our SLA service ensures your prototypes and parts are delivered on time and precisely to your specifications, at virtually the same price or less than traditional modeling methods… only faster!
The Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) process offers the advantage of producing functional parts in the final materials. The SLS process uses a CO2 laser to "selectively sinter" a wide range of powdered materials including thermoplastic, nylon, glass-filled nylon, polystyrene, or metal powder into a solid object, ensuring the resulting prototypes closely represent the physical properties of the final production parts.
This process creates high quality patterns that are excellent for engineering models or for either, "investment casting", or "sand casting" fabrication of prototype models. These particular models offer exceptional heat tolerance and engineering properties and are perfect for demonstrating functions. SLS parts are harder to finish to a "photo model" state.
SLS parts are harder to finish to an appearance model state. This process is used primarily for engineering models or where there is high heat testing of prototype parts in actually resins is required.
Part Finishing Options
SLA, CNC or cast part finishing options include; color-matched painting (or casting resins), silk screening, texturing and pad printing. Every model is hand-finished; to insure surface perfection and verify accuracy of the model. One option for paint color matching. Send us a chip, sample, or PMS (Pantone Matching System) number along with the type of surface finish (spec texture type, gloss, or level of satin). Painting is one of many "finish" options available. Let us know what your needs are.
We produce SLA models quickly and efficiently from a almost any type of 3D CAD file or, with some additional development time from a simple sketch. In House paint mixing system
2D to 3D Models
2D Drawings converted to 3D CAD files. Copesetic's highly skilled model makers are uniquely qualified to accommodate almost any of your CAD drawing needs. We work with most industry-standard programs and we can take your files, or even a simple sketch, and transform them into a highly detailed, and accurate 3D files and/or models.
Urethane Casting
Urethane castings are made from silicon rubber molds. These molds typically created using a SLA or CNC part as a pattern. Copesetic ís cost-efficient processes can quickly reproduce a small quantity of prototypes (2-300). This process is also cost-effective for some high heat applications where a close simulation of the production material is acceptable.
Copesetic's urethane castings are ideal for sales, marketing projects, early customer samples, trade shows, focus groups, or design and engineering verification. They are also excellent for simulating final injection molded plastic parts, as they offer properties similar to thermoplastics and can be finished to match the final part color and texture.
Copesetic offers urethane castings from Shore A 25 (rubber-like) to Shore D 90 giving the prototype the same "feel" as a production part. These materials simulate a wide variety of production materials from soft durameter elastomers to high tensile strength thermoplastics including high heat applications, 94vO flame retardant applications.
Tolerance overall is +/- (.010 + >0015 in./in).
Local Tolerance is > .030".
(comparison of most commonly used urethane options):
Clear Casting
Copesetic's clear casting is a urethane casting using true water clear urethane. This casting process is ideal for any model requiring a clear tinted of translucent finishes.
The quality of our glassware models and optical lenses amazes all. These water clear and translucent-colored models can be used in many different applications, including bottles, humidifier tanks, tableware, product crystals, candle sticks, and camera lenses.
Copesetic's water-clear castings of plastic models and models simulating glass are among the finest in the business. Examples
Rubber Casting
Rubber/Durometer - Gaskets, Overmolds, Flexible Parts
Copesetic can simulate flexible, soft parts by casting them in a durometer, exactly matching the production parts and adding to the realism to the touch and function of your final prototype. For specific applications we also offer rubber-over-mold parts. (Note: When having parts made with this process it is very helpful to send a 'feels like' sample.)
Cast in Colors
Models molded in their specified color maintain a fresh appearance much longer than painted models because the color is cast into the resin. Simulated transparent or translucent parts are also best produced by casting them in their final color.
Copesetic's in-house PPG computer-aided color match system enables us to precisely simulate a perfect color match as well as formulate paint colors so they can be repeated any time the color is required in the volumes needed.
Rotational Casting
Rotational casting simulates blow molded or rotational molded production parts. It is a unique process, not readily available at many model shops, and makes it possible to produce hollow parts not technically or economically feasible using other systems. This offers a method for molding/casting solid models that have not been cored out, including bottles, tanks and hollow parts.
Copesetic's rotational casting process is often a less expensive, faster method of prototyping blow molded or rotationally molded master models. With wall thickness commonly ranging from 1/16" to 1/2", depending on the material, parts produced by rotational casting are seamless and stress-free with excellent surface detail and without sink or flow marks. Examples
Low Volume Production
When you need 1-500 pieces of a prototype, we offer our low volume, cost-effective, but high quality production process. This is the ideal process when the project requires a number of individuals to view, confirm, or test a pre-production prototype simultaneously. The process is also used by companies whose annual production is less than 300 units. Often while the individual piece price is higher than if the parts were mass-produced the tooling charges are very small creating great savings and flexibility. This also gives the company the ability to develop products with nicely styled parts and get production started before investing in expensive production tooling and minimizing upfront startup costs.
Prototype Living Hinges
Living hinges and now be cast into urethane resins! (Living hinges are hinges with no moving parts ie. Dental floss case lid), This extremely useful and relatively inexpensive method for modeling products requiring doors or cases that need living hinges opened and closed frequently.
Copesetic's precise method of casting prototype living hinges is excellent for small quantities of 1-100+ using urethanes and RTV molding. Examples
Vacuum Forming
Great for 'blister' packaging prototypes and a variety of other parts.
Once a mold is made parts can be produced fast and inexpensively. Part thickness will vary slightly.
CNC Duplicates
Copesetic's CNC (computer numerical controller) machining process produces extremely accurate, high quality, duplicate prototypes in plastic or metal with shapes and surfaces as complex as you need them. Once a tool path is completed for the master model, duplicates models can be run a significant savings. CNC duplicate models are the best method for fabricating models in metal or actual plastic resins.
Silk Screening
Copeseticís high quality silk screening is excellent for printing multi-color text or images on a variety of surfaces and textures. Whether you need graphics screened on buttons or face plates, packaging, or back lit crystals, or product surfaces, we will make your project look its best.
Copesetic's in house de-branding is available for clients who need to conduct market research quickly, without the bias of advertising logos. Removing logos, product information and other information from products allows you to show products anonymously for comparison purposes... We do not de-brand cattle!
Prototype Packaging
Using high quality prototype packaging enables the client to cost-effectively analyze the strengths and weaknesses of their proposed packaging, both functionally and in market research analysis.
At Copesetic, we will quickly mock-up your idea for prototype packaging for a client-ready presentation.
Scale Models
Scale models are useful when a client does not need to replicate the product full size for cost or size reasons, but needs an exact replica model to explain the product. Scale models are used in the industry to convey information in a variety of ways, including engineering, architectural, litigation or product development.
With our vast knowledge of modeling and attention to detail, Copesetic's models are a cut above the rest. Examples
Sheet Metal Prototypes
Copesetic's cost-effective, high quality sheet metal parts are produced quickly and efficiently (usually in less than five days) using custom tooling, cutting, bending and shaping. Among the metal services we offer are laser cutting, welding, knurling, embossing, riveting and contouring. In addition, the tooling can be used to produce short-run production parts.

If you have tax debts, you may hope that a bankruptcy filing can wipe these balances away. However, most tax debts can't be eliminated through the bankruptcy process.
Typically, Chapter 7 filers continue to owe tax debts at the end of the case. Chapter 13 are required to pay them in full through the repayment plan.
However, there are some exceptions to these rules, detailed below.
In certain situations, taxes can be completely wiped out in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Before you can turn to Chapter 7 to discharge federal income taxes, you will need to be eligible in the following ways:
After qualifying for the steps above, there is still one more issue left. If you are trying to eliminate a prior recorded tax lien, you may be out of luck. Chapter 7 only wipes out your obligation to pay the debt, not the lien itself. So you will need to pay off the lien in order to be able to sell your property at a future date.
For more information on what you will need to eliminate a tax debt, you can connect with a bankruptcy lawyer in your area. Just fill out the form below to start this easy, no-obligation process now.

Most of us believe K-12 teachers are critical to our nation's future. Yet, we pay them poorly; make them teach kids for testing, not for learning; provide difficult working conditions; and sometimes look down on them socially. Then we begrudge them a few weeks off in the summer….
Is there some hope in charter schools? This from a San Diego newspaper:
"The biggest attraction for charter school teachers is that they help set direction and policy for the school, said Gary Larson, vice president of communications for the California Charter Schools Association. He called this an exciting prospect for a group pivotal in the education process but usually cut out of strategic decisions."
"The number one reason teachers leave the profession is a lack of say in decision-making."

Anyone knows about it or encounter this problem? Thanks.
Stratus really supports NAT traversal in cases where it's possible. Matthew posted a detailed treatment of NAT and firewall issues a few months ago. that message is
there is no way to get the UDP port that Flash Player is using for RTMFP communications. also, it's different for each NetConnection.
if your Windows Firewall is blocking UDP traffic, then UDP communications will not be possible.

Thanks to my grandmother and my mother I have learned how to knit, sew and crochet, I think these skills are passed on genetically and I appreciate them. These activities have brought me great pleasure and have come in very handy over the years. Growing up it was a rare occurrence to see either one of them without a project in progress, but it was knitting that was my mother's first love and she was not only good at it, she finished every single project she ever started. She claimed she just couldn't leave anything undone. I am mystified how this little genetic detail failed to find its way to me. Through the years, my mother kept her 6 children in mittens, hats, and sweaters. She even outfitted our Barbie dolls. She did the same for her 21 grand-children and continued on for her 31 great grand-children and finally her 1 great, great grand-child. Which is why this little white sweater feels so bitter sweet for me to see.
This is and will be the last knitting project my mom will complete. Sadly her fading memory makes it impossible for her to follow a pattern and her worsening macular degeneration with her eyes makes it hard to see the stitches. The last sweater was a gift to her 31st great, great grand-daughter Kathleen.
Welcome to Finally Finishing. My goal here is to finish all the projects that I have started once and for all. I have so many "starts and stops" that I have lost track and missed opportunities not to mention the cash I have put out for materials. I invite you to join me in this endeavor. I need accountability. If you do too follow along and lets get things done once and for all.Feel free to tell me what you are "Finally Finishing".
You must do the thing you think you cannot do."
"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'
You must do the thing you think you cannot do."
― Eleanor Roosevelt

Given there are relatively few reviews of this property on the internet it was hard to determine how the stay would turn out. We were quietly surprised by the accommodations (in a good way). It is what it is advertised as. A traditional Stone house in a quaint village. The unfortunate aspect of the property is that it HAS SO MUCH POTENTIAL and just falls short on so many levels. Think "Shabby Chic" without the Chic. The layout is nice and big and even has a bedroom in a different part of the house that fit nicely our eldest teenage son. However, It just really needs a decorators help to come in and finish the "touches" that it needs. The best way to put it is that is like walking into antique shop but nothing goes together. Not a fault of the owner per se, but it had to be one of the dusty places I have ever stayed at. This is part of the wind gusts by being next to the sea. However, they could make it better by adding an a/c or by sealing the stucco ceiling so it doesn't fall and leave everything with white "fairy dust" as we called it. The kitchen and bathroom are small but totally functional. It has a second bathroom and shower outside the main unit which was nice for serving the other bedroom which is off the main house. The house slept 4 easily and probably could do 5 but it would be cramped. The communications leading up to the rental were timely, easy to follow and cordial. I can not fault the owner or the reception as they were accommodating. We did ask for a second fan on the 2nd night and never did receive it throughout our stay which was inconvenient but not too big of a deal.
Areas of improvement for the property:
--Decor (keep the traditional feel but tie the decor together). It just looks like Grandmas Attic right now.
-- Outside sitting area, the pinic table is too big for the space and it would be more visually appelaing if they had matching patio furniture
--Bedding. A mattress pad or "pillow topper" would be nice for the extra beds as they were very firm.
Positive Points about the property:
-- Large space
--Traditional Stone house
Would I stay here again? Yes as the space was large and was generally pleasant and a true value for money
Are there better places literally next door? Yes and if you want to stay at one just go next door to Timedrops Inn. We stayed here 2 nights and while more expensive was generally a better stay--the pool and decor make the difference in Timedrops over Mesana.
One last note: Make sure you continue the tradition of feeding the Mesana Cat. Her name is Lila and she will herself known until you feed her and then she will go away until the next night at the same time.

The accommodation is a traditional Santorini "Cave" house suitably updated and modernised for holiday guests who embrace the restrictions that such a house implies.
It is located in a rural part of the town of Emporio and this only adds to its charms, as it seems like you have escaped the "tourist rat race" that is common elsewhere on the island.
There are, however, many facilities at hand in the town for shopping and eating - just a few minutes walk away - and the beaches of Perissa just a 10 minute drive.
The hosts are helpful, discrete, friendly and attended to our needs as required.
My wife and I fully recommend this accommodation.

(see comments but it made sense to post it here as well)
She and I share a love of purple (or violet or lavender).
I really must go and clean my kitchen, but I wanted to share this recipe for Lavender Pavlova, Doesn't it sound divine?"You make the pavlova in the normal way but replace half of the sugar with lavender sugar.This is really easy to make.When Lavender first blooms take 2 handfuls and grind in a large pestle and mortar - or you can use a food processor - with 8oz caster sugar.I usually make lavender meringues but had the idea for lavender pavlova recently as I had a jar of preserved oranges and some honeycomb cream. I also colour mine with an organic violet food colouring. I really wanted to see how it would look with a lilac meringue base - and pretty darned good it did look
From Mother Damnable today: 12-15-05
Glad you enjoyed the recipe! ~ Lavender will not be in season here until next year but a lovely lady I know suggested using "parma Violets" which is a sweetie we have here, it's round and lilac coloured I think these ground up would work just as wellSounds wonderful Mother Damnable but you're talking to a Yankee here. I deduced it was some sort of meringue and then I googled it.
Two recipes - New Zealand and Australia seem to have a Pavlova competition going. And yes, it's named after the dancer.
From New Zealand
And from Australia
I have a couple of Australian commenters; no one in NZ so far as I know. I'm sure Mother Damnable has her own recipe and I bet others of you do as well. Feel free to share. Google has a zillion pages which makes me wonder if I'm the only person in the world who hasn't heard of it.
My mom used to make wonderful meringue (my uncle had a chicken farm and eggs were easy to come by, even during the war) but I don't remember her ever using it on anything except cream or lemon pies. Pavlova is a stand alone meringue. Yum. She and her sister on the farm could bake like champions. I still make an angel food cake once in a blue moon using their recipe. I'll have to see if I can find it. I'd be more motivated if the eggs were free.
I didn't realize until I received Mary P.'s comment just now that some of you may not know that Elcie has cerebral palsy. Quite mobile, gets around fine at home and uses crutches or a wheelchair for distance and at school. They believe it is the underlying cause of her problems with reading and writing. As she gets older more little things surface that weren't obvious when she was younger.
She's a very brave kid.
Coven's "One Tin Soldier" now playing. Anyone except me have a big crush on Tom Laughlin? The Billy Jack movies were very popular at the drive-in when I lived in Arkansas. I once sat through a triple feature with Jim and Tim asleep in the back of the car. He had a small part in South Pacific (a pilot) as well and we thought he was gorgeous. I had heard he and his wife were working on yet another Billy Jack movie. Don't know what the status is.
Time to get away from this silliness and accomplish something.
Talk to you later.

Solar Electricity
Solar PV
Solar photovoltaic, or solar PV for short, are panels that generate electricity from the sun. The solar PV panels generate electricity in direct current (DC) and our homes use alternating current (AC), so in order to convert the energy into usable electricity, the power is fed into an inverter which converts the electricity from DC to AC.
Solar PV panels are usually installed on the roof of your home but they can also be installed on nearby buildings such as garages or barns and can also be mounted on an A-frame mounted on the ground in your garden.
It is important to make sure that the solar panels are not shaded by nearby buildings or trees, otherwise the energy generated can be greatly reduced. The best energy generation is achieved by mounting your panels on a south facing roof but you can still obtain good energy generation from south east, south west or even east and west facing roofs.
If you install a solar PV system through the Heat Project you will be entitled to the Government's Feed-in Tariff which entitles you to payments for 20 years for the electricity that your system generates. Depending on where you live, you could get a return of 5-8% on your investment through the money you earn through the Feed-in Tariff and the savings you will make by using your own solar energy rather than buying energy from the grid.
You can further maximise your savings by installing controllers that send all of the generated electricity into your hot water cylinder or a storage heater. Alternatively you can install a battery storage system to enable you to store the power you generate during the day to use at night when you get home from work.
See how much you can earn and save by using our free solar PV FiT calculator.

I reckon the truth about what makes a super woman, or woman great, is not when she is perfect and has it all together, but when she is okay with the cracks and keeps on keeping on with tenacity in spite of them.. that's a super woman.

Great words that I can certainly relate to. I am learning that it's ok to be 'mediocre mum' instead of 'supermum' sometimes ;-)ReplyDelete
So so so so so SO true, Anna. I think we could easily kill ourselves trying to get everything we want to do done, let alone everything we HAVE to do done. Sometimes 'almost' is definitely enough. xReplyDelete

Hello community,
I have purchased a spartan6 video development kit, and I want to simple working VDMA reference design. Is there any?
I have developed an IP core that can generate a timing + test pattern, when it's directly connected to an HDMI controller, I can see the video as expected.
I'm trying to make use of Xilinx VDMA in a microblaze environment.
MY IP > v_vid_in_axi4s > VDMA > v_axi4s_vid_out > HDMI
\_______ timing_______/^
What's the proper VDMA paramters? Should I use FSYNC=0/1/3? What FLUSH should be set?
My IP generates a 60fps vide, the write channel works at lower rate (~10fps), the write channel gets many errors:
EOLLate - SOFLate - EOLEarly - SOFEarly - DMAInt
How can I debug this?
Any tip is appreciated.
The first place to look is the product page:
Click on Support File & Downloads to access the download page:
The "EDK Designs - DVI/Camera Video Processing and Frame Buffer" link contains the frame buffer design examples.
There are no designs for the Spartan-6 Video Imaging and Processing Kit that make use of the AXI4-Stream adapter cores.
Take a look at the following product page:
In the downloads section, there is a "Creating a Video Design from Scratch" tutorial, which describes how to configure the AXI4-Stream adapter cores, as well as the AXI_VDMA core.
Although this tutorial does not target the same hardware that you have, it will provide usefull information about the video cores.

Name: Temi Alanamu
Age: 32
Number of children: 1
Job title: Co-founder of Whatsinit? a food ingredients and allergies scanner that helps users quickly and easily understand what is in their food.
Duties: I spend my day doing business operations. My responsibilities include strategy, planning, social media, marketing and finance.
Hours: As many as I can fit in.
Childcare arrangements: My daughter goes to nursery.
What I love about work: The constant learning. Starting Whatsinit? is like enrolling in a new university course every single day. There is always something new to learn, ideas to understand and mistakes to learn from.
What I find difficult is: As a startup, we have a very small team and most of the operations falls on my shoulders. Knowing that the success or failure of the entire business currently resides with me is a difficult to swallow.
My working life would be easier if… We had a bigger team. Whatsinit? currently consist of I, my husband and co-founder Rob and three developers who ensure that Whatsinit? is running as it should. Having other people on board to perform tasks like social media, operations and finance will leave me free to focus on strategy and planning.
Work/mum life balance: The work/mum life balance is hard to sustain and sometimes things can get blurred. I sometimes work when my daughter is asleep and I may, on rare occasions, have to catch up on work on the weekends when I should be relaxing and enjoying some family time. While my family comes first, work is also very important to me because it gives me a sense of individuality and fulfillment. I try to make time and give both aspects the attention that they deserve.
How having children has changed the work I do: Work used to be my priority but now my child is. I no longer want to, or do, 80 hour work weeks. Having a child has helped me prioritise my time in such a way that I can be very productive in a relatively short amount of time while putting my family first. When I have to work on a weekend, I make up the time by working less on one weekday or planning a day out with the whole family.
Fantasy job / If I wasn't doing this, I'd be… A hotel critic. I love hotels, there is just a something fantastical about leaving home to stay in place where all your needs are taken care of. If I could earn a living from staying in hotels and reviewing them, I would.
Mojomums helps mums get their mojo back – what advice would you give to mums who feel they have lost theirs? It is never too late to get your mojo back. No matter how far you are down a career path you can always make a change or at least discover if there could be something more. I am a trained academic researcher with a PhD in History and I started a tech company. Anything is possible. Find something you love to do and dive in. Mistakes will be made and that is just part of the journey.
Anything else?
Whatsinit? is a food ingredients and allergies app that helps users quickly and accurately understand what is in their food.It was founded in 2015 when I and my husband Rob were made redundant and financial constraints forced us to buy and eat cheap, processed foods. Prior to this time, my genetic condition, called Sickle Cell Anaemia, meant that I had to be very careful about what I ate and I had always tried to eat fresh, nutritious food. Having to eat a lot more processed food was a bit of a shock and I would research every ingredient label on the foods that we bought to ensure that I understood exactly what I was eating. But the more I read ingredients labels, the more we realised that we had no idea what many of the ingredients in these foods meant. So, we decided to build an app that helped us and others quickly and easily identify and understand food ingredients. We partnered with professionals in the food and health industry and over two years we built the Whatsinit? MVP which was released in May 2017 for free on the App store and Google play.
The app was particularly useful when I began shopping for follow-on milks for my daughter. The ingredients on these milks are so cryptic that before Whatsinit? you either needed a chemistry degree or hours on the internet to understand them all. Now I just take a picture of ingredients labels and I know what each ingredient means and how safe they are so I can make the safer, healthier choice.

Shakespeare and Modern Theatre: The Performance of Modernity, by Bristol,Michael
Note: Supplemental materials are not guaranteed with Rental or Used book purchases.
- Cover: Hardcover
- Copyright: 6/26/2001
Shakespeare's works are now performed for an increasingly diversified cultural market. At the start of the twenty-first century, film, video and live performance have overtaken the printed book as the main ways in which people are introduced to Shakespeare. Therefore, is there any reason to ask people to read Shakespeare's plays anymore?The essays in this volume explore this question and the institutional practices that shape contemporary performances of Shakespeare's plays. The book gathers together a particularly strong line-up of contributors from across the literary-performative divide to examine the relationship between Shakespeare, the 'culture industries', modernism and live performance.

Cassiopeia Imperial Porter, a Hybrid Baltic/Scotch-Style Porter from Grimm Ales in Brooklyn, NY
"CASSIOPEIA is an imperial porter brewed for the onset of winter. Black as the night sky, our imperial porter is brewed from a blend of premium dark malts chosen for their complex caramel/chocolately/fruity qualities. Cool-fermented with a clean Scotch ale yeast that emphasizes malty richness and earthy, mossy aromatics — think of Cassiopeia as a Baltic Porter fermented like a Wee Heavy. This velvety, warming ale is surprisingly well attenuated, light on the palate and digestible.
It pairs perfectly with chocolate, roasted and smoked meats, blue cheeses, and cold winter nights." - Grimm Ales website
Joe Grimm and Lauren Carter Grimm make their home in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York and are brewing beer as nomadic brewers at existing breweries wherever the fermenting tanks are available. They make their beer with the highest quality ingredients always bringing their creativity and ingenuity to the brewing process. With this in mind, they seek to push the boundaries of beer styles in order to create beers with the utmost depth and complexity.
Beer Advocate did a feature article about Grimm Ales in the most recent edition of the magazine - Click here to read the article.

On Tap: Take The Black Stout (7% ABV) from Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, NY.
"Night gathers and it's time to announce the newest beer in the Game of Thrones series. Take the Black Stout is named for the oath taken by those who stand the Night's Watch at the Wall, defending Westeros against northern.
Take the Black Stout is brewed with base, caramel, chocolate and roasted barley malts. Hopping includes Northern Brewer and Columbus; spices are licorice root and star anise. Hue is black with full tan head. Aromas include chocolate, caramel, and earthy hops, light roastiness, a touch of fruitiness. Tastes include chocolate, coffee, rich malts, and balanced roastiness. Clean hop bitterness joins with slight woody character and spiciness; the finish offers sweet malt character leading to spicy, earthy, hop bitterness." - Ommegang website

La Fin Du Monde, a Belgian-style Tripel (9% ABV) from Unibroue, Quebec, Cananda La Fin du Monde (French for "The End of the World") - the name is derived from the European explorers' belief that they had reached the end of the world when they discovered America.
"Truly a potent and delicious brew with many hard to achieve complexities. Unlike other brews of this strength, this one is extremely drinkable due to its balance of alcohol and dextrins. Outstanding." - Todd Alstrom on BeerAdvocate.com. The Alstrom Brothers give this beer a 100/World-Class rating.

Saranac/Matt Brewing (Our December Brewery of the Month)
Tuesday, December 17 from 6:00-8:00pm
One of the beers we'll be sampling is their 4059' Porter, an English-style Porter (5.2% ABV)
"Standing 4059' above sea level, one of the Ad...irondack high peaks, Porter Mountain, is the inspiration for our 4059' Porter that is full of roasted flavor. Brewed with English chocolate malt and English hops, you'll taste roasted coffee and chocolate flavors from the malt balanced with a slight hop bitterness." - Saranac/Matt Brewing
Sam Adams/Boston Brewing Tasting
Wednesday, December 18 from 7:00-9:00pm
They'll be pouring tastes of (all 3 beers will be on tap):
• Cherry Chocolate Bock (5.8% ABV)
• Merry Mischief Gingerbread Stout (9% ABV)
• Old Fezziwig Ale, a Winter Warmer (5.9% ABV)...
Old Fezziwig Ale
"Perhaps one of the most talked about beers that San Adams (Boston Beer Co.) has, right after Cranberry Lambic. Another spiced winter warmer but its limited availability drives the demand up IMO. Big towering densely rocky tan head from a hard pour, glowing reddish brown color. You can smell all of the spices used; cinnamon, ginger and orange peel mild chocolate malt tone in the back of the nose. Smooth and creamy with a slick full body. Mild burnt tone goes away quickly as the malt sweetness layers the palate and the spicing picks it right back up. Hint of woody hop gets lost with the spicing. Finishes off semi-sweet with a vague chocolate flavor.
Spicing does not go too far, maltiness is big enough to hold the beer together. A solid beer all around and a bit of a conversation beer as well which is good around this time of year." - Todd Alstrom on BeerAdvocate.com where this beer gets a 90/Outstanding rating

Complete Discipleship Part 2 Series
Contributed by William Jones on Sep 28, 2008 (message contributor)
Summary: A message describing discipleship as defined in the beatitudes.
This morning I would like for us to take a closer look at what we call Discipleship. Discipleship means "a person who is a pupil or an adherent of the doctrines of another; follower:" If you are a born again believer, if you have asked Jesus Christ to save you from your sins, and you have committed your life to following Him, then you are his Disciple.
Being a Disciple of Jesus Christ is not an easy thing to do. In order to be a disciple of Christ many things that come natural to us as human beings have to be set aside and the exact opposite behavior is expected.
Eugene Peterson in A Long Obedience in the Same Direction writes, "It is not difficult in our world to get a person interested in the message of the Gospel; it is terrifically difficult to sustain the interest. Millions of people in our culture make decisions for Christ, but there is a dreadful attrition rate. Many claim to have been born again, but the evidence for mature Christian discipleship is slim. In our kind of culture anything, even news about God, can be sold if it is packaged freshly; but when it loses its novelty, it goes on the garbage heap. There is a great market for religious experience in our world; there is little enthusiasm for the patient acquisition of virtue, little inclination to sign up for a long apprenticeship in what earlier Christians called holiness." From "A Long Obedience in the Same Direction", Eugene Peterson
Throughout History, we have seen countless millions of people proclaim that they were followers of Christ. Many just so that they could fit in, and in ancient times so that they would not lose their life. Today we see a nation that, if you ask, proclaims that they are a Christian nation. You see our presidential candidates. Both current candidates proclaim to be Christians. Are they really? How can we tell? To be a Christian is to be a disciple of Christ. What does that mean?
Last April I came and preached a message for you on discipleship and I covered the first 3 of the beatitudes. A few Wednesday nights ago I taught on the next two. This morning I am going to try to teach the meaning of the next couple of beatitudes as taught by Jesus Christ on the Sermon on the Mount.
The Sermon on the Mount was taught to the 12 disciples while a multitude of people looked on. This sermon was meant to teach these followers of Christ the things that were important for them to be effective, productive Christians. Today we can look at this message and apply it to us and determine what would make us effective and productive as His followers. We can also use this text and others to determine false disciples.
As a review let us read the passage and again look at the beatitudes that we have covered previously.
Matthew 5: 1And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: 2And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, 3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. 5Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. 6Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. 7Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. 8Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 9Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. 10Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Blessed are the poor in spirit – this means that we are to be totally dependent upon God.
Blessed are they that mourn – We are to be broken over sin in our lives.
Blessed are the meek – We should be willing to set aside our rights
Blessed those who hunger and thirst after righteousness – We are to desire that our lives would present holiness to others.
Blessed are the merciful – We are always show mercy when we look at others.
We have 4 more to look at before we complete the first part of this message to Christ's disciples.
We only have time to look closely at the next two.
First is Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. This instruction is telling us that while it is important for our outward lives to present holiness, it is just as important for our inner-life, our secret internal life, to be full of that same holiness.
