text: ECE391: Computer Systems Engineering Machine Problem 2 Fall 2014 The Tux Controller Introduction: This machine problem gives you several opportunities to work with software that interacts directly with devices and must adhere to the protocols specified by those devices. Similar problems arise when one must meet software interface specifications, but you need experience with both in order to recognize the similarities and differences. The Tux Controller is that funny little game controller attached to each of the machines in the lab. It was designed and implemented by Kevin Bassett and Mark Murphy, two students who took this class during the 2004-2005 school year, and went on to work as lab assistants for the class. The Tux Controller connects to the USB port of the lab machine. An FTDI "Virtual Com Port" (VCP) driver makes the USB port appear to software as a standard (old fashioned) RS232 serial port. We can then set up QEMU so that one of the emulated serial ports on the virtual machine maps to the emulated serial port connected to the Tux Controller. Your tasks for the final checkpoint: 1. Enable the device driver to control the LEDs on the Tux controller 2. Enable the device driver to report when buttons are pressed and released 3. Handle device resets correctly 4. Enable control of the game using the Tux controller (support keyboard input simultaneously). 5. In the game, enable the up/down/left/right buttons on the Tux controller to do what the arrow keys do on the keyboard, enable the A/B/C buttons to do what Insert/Home/PageUp do on the keyboard, and enable the Start button to do what the backquote/tilde ('∼') key does on the keyboard. Remember, the Tux driver is expected to work with ANY user-level program. This means you will not receive full credit if you do not implement all ioctls described in this document even if the game does not make use of them. Set up instructions: 1. Remember to use SVN or save a current version of your code as a backup. 2. You no longer need to compile the entire linux kernel, so you no longer need to boot your compiled kernel. To prevent your compiled kernel from running, right click on "test debug.lnk" shortcut, go to properties and remove the -kernel ...\bzImage from the target line. 3. Enable your test machine to make use of the serial port (named COM#) corresponding to the Tux controller. To check which COM number the Tux controller is currently connected on: Go to Start -> Devices and Printers -> right-click on FT232R USB UART -> Hardware tab -> USB Serial Port (COM#) where # should be less than 10. If it is higher, call a TA because it will not work with QEMU. Right click on "test debug.lnk" shortcut, go to properties and add -serial COM# to the end of the target line. This connects the Windows COM# port to the Linux ttyS0 serial port. Note: Only your test machine will be able to communicate with the Tux controller with this setup. Although you can also add this option to your devel machine, you can only have one virtual machine use the Tux at a time. Therefore, we recommend you use the devel machine to compile your code and the test machine to load the kernel module and run the game. 4. Also remove the -S option from the end of the target line This option told qemu to wait until gdb was attached. In this assignment we don't need to start gdb until after the kernel is up and running. 2 5. When you first start your debug machine, a dialog will appear asking you for COM# Properties. The default values (Bits per second should be = 9600, Data bits = 8, Parity = None, Stop bits = 1, Flow control = None) will be correct. Click OK to continue booting your debug machine. 6. If there is no activity for approximately 2 hours, the Tux controllers will enter a low-power state and turn off the LEDs. This is intended to prolong the life of the LEDs. Pressing the RESET button will return it to a responsive state. Be aware of this if you sit down at a new machine or do not use the controller for more than two hours. 7. There is a bug in QEMU that may cause the test machine to freeze occasionally while using the Tux controllers. When it is frozen, you will be unable to connect to or interact with it from GDB. If that happens, go to the QEMU console (ctrl+alt+2), type i 0x3f8 (this will pull bytes from UART like in), press the up arrow to get the command again and repeatedly enter it several times. Go back to the virtual terminal you were in (ctrl+alt+1). If it is still locked, repeat the steps above until it becomes responsive. Building the Driver: The mp2/module directory contains a framework for the driver you will be implementing for the Tux controller. A module is similar to a dynamically-loaded user-level library but instead of being used by an application it is used by the kernel to extend functionality. Modules allow for drivers to be loaded without having to recompile (or even reboot) the whole kernel. This simplifies the process of debugging as well. Modules can also be unloaded and a new version loaded into the kernel assuming that nothing catastrophic happened that would crash the kernel. Your driver code, of course, is running in the kernel, and bugs that are severe enough to crash the kernel are not impossible to produce. The module directory uses a separate Makefile to compile a device driver module for use with Tux controller, thus building a module is similar to building a user level program: Change directories into the module directory and type make. To load the module into the kernel, type sudo /sbin/insmod ./tuxctl.ko while in the module directory. A line should print out saying the tuxctl line discipline has been registered. You can safely ignore the "module license 'unspecified' taints the kernel" message. 1 If you want to remove the module, issue the sudo /sbin/rmmod tuxctl command. This removes the module from kernel space and should print a line stating the tuxctl line discipline was removed. You can use these commands to install and remove the kernel module repeatedly during your development. If your module corrupts the kernel, however, you may eventually crash the system and have to reboot. If all else fails, try rebooting the test machine and then loading your module to see if it is really your latest code that is failing. The module we have given you implements a tty line discipline. A line discipline is a driver that receives commands from the tty or serial port driver. In other words, it acts as a middle man between the serial port and the code you will implement to actually interpret the Tux controller commands. The code you will be implementing is in the tuxctl-ioctl.c file. You may add anything you deem necessary to the header files to make your implementation work. We also recommend you look at the mtcp.h file for a description of how the Tux controller works and some predefined constants, and at the appendix at the end of this document. Writing Your Driver: You will write portions of both the device driver which communicates with the Tux controller and the user-level application code to make use of the driver. On the driver side, you will need to add constants and definitions for the abstracted bit format to the header file. These constants (located in tuxctl-ioctl.h) will shared by the kernel and user-level code, ensuring that no inconsistencies arise. There is no user-level test harness for MP2. We advise you to write a simple test program to test your driver outside the game. We suggest that you write a test program to test the basic functionality (open, close, ioctls) before trying to make the game use the driver. We have provided input.c as a starting point for your user-level testing. To compile input.c type make input. We will test your driver with our own testing code, so be sure to test your driver's functionality thoroughly and adhering strictly to the spec. For the checkpoint, you must add the Tux controller functions (open, ioctls, close) to the input control in input.c and test it by compiling the file by itself. You will need to include tuxctl-ioctl.h. Only once you have debugged your input 1 This simply indicates that the module you have loaded has not been designated as GPL and therefore taints the kernel so don't try to submit any bug reports to Linus. 3 control completely as a stand alone program should you try it with the full game. To interface with the game you will need to create a new thread to take input from the Tux controller (you must support keyboard input simultaneously. Opening the Tux controller is fairly simple. You may use the following code as an example to open the serial port and set the Tux controller line discipline: fd = open("/dev/ttyS0", O RDWR | O NOCTTY); int ldsic num = N MOUSE; ioctl(fd, TIOCSETD, &ldisc num); This code simply opens the tty port and sets the line discipline. You will want to add some error checking and whatever else you see fit to make this work with your code. What Your Driver Has To Do: Your device driver transforms the protocol supported by the Tux controller into a simpler abstraction for use by userlevel programs such as the game. You must implement the following ioctls for your device abstraction: TUX INIT Takes no arguments. Initializes any variables associated with the driver and returns 0. Assume that any user-level code that interacts with your device will call this ioctl before any others. TUX SET LED The argument is a 32-bit integer of the following form: The low 16-bits specify a number whose hexadecimal value is to be displayed on the 7-segment displays. The low 4 bits of the third byte specifies which LED's should be turned on. The low 4 bits of the highest byte (bits 27:24) specify whether the corresponding decimal points should be turned on. This ioctl should return 0. TUX BUTTONS Takes a pointer to a 32-bit integer. Returns -EINVAL error if this pointer is not valid. Otherwise, sets the bits of the low byte corresponding to the currently pressed buttons, as shown: 7 0 right left down up c b a start For full credit, use an interrupt-driven approach rather than polling. Your changes to the device driver should be limited to the files tuxctl-ioctl.h and tuxctl-ioctl.c. The function tuxctl handle packet handles all packets received by the computer from the Tux controller. The function tuxctl ioctl handles calls from user code (the game) to ioctl. You may add more ioctl calls, however the required ioctls above must work as intended. Tux Controller communication protocol: The Tux controller protocol for interacting with the PC is described in mtcp.h, as you saw in PS2. Messages sent to the Tux controller are of variable length, while messages sent to the computer are always three bytes in length of the following general form: Responses from the controller to the PC are always sent as three-byte packets of the following general form: 7 0 0 1 R4 R3 0 R2 R1 R0 0 1 7 data bits 1 1 7 data bits 2 The 5-bit vector R[4:0] in byte 0 represents an opcode. All possible opcodes are defined in mtcp.h The other three bits in byte zero are fixed as indicated. Notice that bit 7 of each byte is fixed and used to frame the packets. This is a feature of the packet format because the COM port emulation in the old Microsoft Virtual PC software that we used to use was unreliable and occasionally lost bytes sent through it. The provided kernel patch includes code to detect this behavior and avoids providing you with broken packets. See the code in tuxctl-ld.c for details. The Tux controller supports many different commands, each of which is defined in mtcp.h. You are only required to use a couple of them for this MP. 4 We recommend that you make use of MTCP BIOC ON and MTCP LED SET, in which case you must handle MTCP ACK and MTCP BIOC EVENT. You must also handle MTCP RESET packets sent to the computer by attempting to restore the controller state (value displayed on LEDs, button interrupt generation, etc.). MTCP POLL This command consists of a single MTCP POLL byte (0xC2) sent to the controller: The response is a three-byte packet with the following format: 7 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 X X X C B A S 1 1 X X X R D L U 2 That is, the first byte will have the value MTCP POLL OK, the second and third will contain active-low bit masks of which buttons are pressed; that is, a bit will be '0' when the corresponding button is pressed. The C, B, A, and START (S) buttons are in the second byte, and the right (R), down (D), left (L), and up (U) bits are in the third. Bits marked as 'X' in the diagram are unused. MTCP LED SET See mtcp.h for the definition of the LED SET bytes Finally, a few important notes about the Tux controller: For debugging purposes, when the controller receives an erroneous command, it locks up and displays 00P5 on the seven-segment display. Pressing the reset button returns it to a usable state. This behavior can be disabled by sending an MTCP DBG OFF command; after this is sent, an erroneous command will elicit an MTCP ERROR response. Additionally, when the controller is reset, for example by pressing the reset button, it asynchronously sends an MTCP RESET packet to the PC. Your code must detect this condition and re-initialize the controller to the same state it was in before the reset. In order to accomplish this your code must internally keep track of the state of the device. Debugging the Tux Controller: Debugging in kernel space is not as simple as debugging in user space. You made find it helpful to use printk() from your driver module. printk() is like printf() for kernel mode. When the kernel loads the tuxctl module, it may load it anywhere it pleases in its address space. This means GDB needs to know where the module was loaded before it can start debugging it. The object file for the tuxctl also needs to be loaded into GDB so that the proper symbols can be resolved. Once your debug machine loads, load the tuxctl module (see above). You now need to find out where in memory the kernel loaded the module. Issue the command cat /proc/modules to print out the location of all modules currently loaded in the kernel. You should see a line such as tuxctl 6792 0 - Live 0xd0813000 (P) at the top. 0xd0813000 is the address the module was loaded at. (It will probably be different for you). Back in your devel machine, in the module directory, launch gdb with no arguments. Once in GDB, type add-symbol-file ./tuxctl.o ADDRESS where ADDRESS is the address that was printed out in for the module in your debug machine, 0xd0813000 in my case. GDB will then ask you to confirm. Type y and hit enter. Now you will need to connect GDB to the remote machine by typing target remote 10.0.2.2:1234. You may now define breakpoints for your driver and continue as normal. Again, make use of the stand-alone input program in input.c before tackling the full game.

It was September 2015, first day back INSET day, I was given the stage to explain to our staff WHY there was a need for my new role – to be Head of student mental health and wellbeing.
In 2015, this role hardly existed in schools and as you can imagine, the room was filled with pockets of staunch teacher scepticism.
But that morning, I was driven by my WHY
Why the need?
As I faced my colleagues to make a case, I held the faces of many students in my mind.
Those young people, over the years, who'd hung around my classroom door wanting to chat to me….some had sexual orientation challenges, others anxiety issues, a few were early stages of self-harming, some being bullied, others considerably lonely but I , like so many other teachers, had very limited time to listen to them and in those days, feeling helpless – the norm was to refer these children to an overburdened and understaffed SEN – when I knew and they knew – their struggle was not about learning needs.
Their struggle was Mental Health.
Our school was rapidly becoming a typical example of the mental health crisis being cited in Department of Education papers:
One in ten children and young people (5-16) have clinically diagnosed mental health disorders and approximately one in seven has less severe problems (cited in Department of Education: Mental Health and Behaviour in Schools, June 2014).
Two years later…
I have a new stage.
This time, I'm not here to make a case, but to celebrate!
To celebrate the infinite possibilities that exist for teachers and tens of thousands of students…..
To celebrate that it is possible – for every school to develop a robust proactive and pre-emptive mental health support program
Here is a quick overview of some of the measures we rolled out at The Magna Carta School in Staines-upon-Thames.
When it comes to rolling out your mental health and wellbeing initiatives think 6-pronged approach: Research; whole school values; physical resources; staff training and wellbeing; peer mentoring; parent and community engagement; PSHE and cross-curriculum resources.
Do your research. School based research is vital. Every community is different as will their needs be. Conduct student and staff focus groups and surveys into the mental health and wellbeing barometer of your school. Don't be afraid to hear the truth. The data will drive your initiatives and ensure you have grass roots ownership with all the changes.
Change the language of learning to ensure our mental health is seen as important as achieving good grades.
Destigmatize the topic 'mental health.' Our school wall murals, designed by artist Matt Lambert, publicly start the conversation about our mental health. They are given as much importance as our Growth Mind-set murals found elsewhere round the school
Start at the top. Staff wellbeing is vital. Make sure you run a parallel program looking at staff wellbeing and run a 'You said We did' respons within the term of conducting your survey. Make a concerted effort for leadership to model good working practice and life/work balance.
Re-evaluate the values you champion as a school. In the lead up to Christmas we roll out our #familyMH5aday campaign with years 7 and 8 and champion the G.R.E.A.T values. These values encourage us to make small life style changes in the direction of life/work balance, bigger picture and positive mental health.
I was delighted to see one teacher encourage students to use this language when talking about exam preparation and devising their revision schedules. Placing emphasis on their wellbeing is vital to ensuring academic progress.
Separate Mental Health support from SEN support. Although sometimes they are inextricably linked; the interventions required are very different. Young people are more likely to self-refer or accept support for mental health if they feel that we recognize the difference between mental health and learning needs
Based on our research we knew we had to create spaces to ensure the young people knew where to go; when to go and who they could expect to speak to – hence the wellbeing zone. You don't need to build new rooms you simply map your wellbeing zone with curriculum spaces. For example, by lesson time the rooms are Humanities and ICT but at lunchtimes the corridor comes alive as the wellbeing zone.
You don't need to hire new staff – look at strengths within your own staff . Our role as schools is not to diagnose but instead to ensure we are proactive and pre-emptive. To make a start, You do not 'have to have' an in-house counselor or trained therapist. Yes, of course it would be ideal to have this professional resource and support in every school but realistically speaking, with budget cuts, this is just not possible at the moment.
What you do need are empathetic, caring compassionate peers and teachers who are properly trained in being able to spot the signs; have a conversation with the student and a robust internal referral and tracking system for intervention work. This is achievable.
Assign a senior member of staff to lead and a governing body member to have it as part of their portfolio. Free up 1 member of staff who is a non-teacher and not a TA to be your youth mental health student co-coordinator. Look at the extra curricular strengths and interests found in your staff body and tap into their expertise. One of our English teachers – is also a qualified yoga teacher . As part of our intervention and support she is timetabled to deliver hatha yoga and mindfulness as a weekly intervention for students suffering from increasing anxiety and panic attacks. She also offers a weekly yoga class for our staff to support their wellbeing.
Train your students and staff properly. We used RELATE the charity to train our wellbeing student ambassadors and The Charlie Waller Memorial Trust offer superb resources for staff training. We are also looking forward to our Mental Health First Aid training coming up in a few weeks.
Think out the box with your interventions. We have in place opportunities for 1:1 and group work but sometimes – for numerous reasons- the young person does not want to sit and talk. Finding time for intervention work during the school day is also difficult.
In response to this we have rolled out extra-curricular intervention support which may last a few weeks or a few days:
The Love Bread challenge: Students learnt all about the science of making their own bread and then they got to bake their own pizzas, focaccias and take a 'mother' sourdough starter home to feed and nurture.
The Chef's Challenge: Students cooked a different 2 course meal each week, set up by chef Mark Lloyd, and then sat down to eat & chat celebrating each other's efforts in cooking their evening dinner.
The Bicycle Challenge: Old bicycles have been donated and under the guidance of 2 enthusiastic bike engineer teachers, from the DT department, they are being taught how to remove worn bits and re-assemble with new parts so they can cycle away with it.
The Bush craft Challenge: Students got to explore Survival Bush craft skills: fire lighting, tracking, shelter building, Nature art, campfire cooking, outdoor trust games, 1 to1 sessions, personal development exercises and Mindfulness in nature
What was essential was:
The Staff used were ready to move out of their teaching roles and get on a level playing field with the young person and complete a creative task with them, engaging in discussions and listening with compassion and empathy. Students feel deeply appreciative when they are simply understood – not evaluated, not judged, simply understood from their own point of view, not the teacher's.
Track your interventions measuring impact. We have trialled out various systems including a software called Provision mapping so our SEN, Behavioural and Mental health interventions can all be tracked in one place ensuring we effectively triage before an intervention is rolled out; we don't double up; are all joined up and get an overall picture of a student's progress.
Engage your parents and local community. We have a parent wellbeing ambassadors network group who have advised on how we could conduct the #familyMH5aday campaign mentioned earlier and, together with a local charity East To West, hosted half termly 'parent headspace' chat sessions.
Use your PSHE lessons to effectively deliver mental health awareness lessons and to teach positive mental health strategies. We are in our first year of rolling out MINDUP which is a 15-week mindfulness and resilience program being delivered in PSHE to over 200 year 8 students.
Think cross-curricular and embrace the theme through your subjects. We got a class of mixed ability year 9 media students to build their own mental health and wellbeing app called My TeenMind. They built it with the help of Gaia tech and the support of local charity Woking Mind. This app is now part of a 7 lesson PSHE scheme of work where the students are presented with fictitious scenarios about a peer and they have to explore and use the app to find the right information to help signpost support.
Finally, there is no quick fix. Don't think a 1 day or 6 -week intervention will 'sort' the problem out.
The key to a school based mental health program is about ensuring our staff and our young people are literate about their mental and emotional health; that they take ownership of it; that there is no shame in talking about it; and that there are spaces and people who are trained and have time to listen enabling us to make informed choices when we are faced with the inevitable struggles that life will throw at us.

A Quick Overlook of Activities – Your Cheatsheet
The Easiest Way to Watch eSports In today's world, nothing is more satisfying than competition. Measuring yourself against your peers can be a remarkably fulfilling experience. As you are no doubt aware, there are many ways to compete. Board games are very popular, but traditional sports are also common. If you're serious about competition, though, you'll want to look at a few eSports. These games are incredibly exciting, and they can also be rewarding. If you're going to be watching eSports, it's important to find a reliable platform. There are many platforms to choose from, and no two are ever identical. It's your job to find an eSports platform that meets your needs. When it comes down to it, choosing an eSports site is all about knowing what to look for. Obviously, latency is very important here. Never forget that video games move very quickly. You're not going to be able to appreciate the competition if there is latency. Once that is out of the way, you'll need to think about selection. In today's world, there are more games to choose from than ever before. You will want to know that your site has games that actually interest you. At some point, you will want to think about clarity. Today's video games have very memorable and powerful graphics. If you want to enjoy the experience, you'll want to know that the graphics are being accurately represented. Remember that if you're looking for a new way to pass the time, you owe it to yourself to look at eSports. As you continue watching eSports, it's important to consider your platform's chatting capabilities. The truth is that we were never meant to be isolated. One of the real benefits of eSports is that they can be enjoyed socially. A good eSports platform should offer some type of chatting interface. This is a great way to interact with people, but it can also help you learn new things. As you are no doubt aware, modern eSports are tremendously popular.
The Key Elements of Great Sports
As you are watching eSports, it's important to think about the skill of the players that you are watching. The best virtual athletes are true virtuosos. A skilled player is two or three steps ahead of an average player. This means that by watching eSports, you can learn new things about video games.
Finding Similarities Between Teams and Life
It's important to consider the interface before you choose an eSports site. You need a page that's easy to understand and navigate. By watching eSports, you can enjoy the thrills of competition.

Some of you may have seen Joey or a guy or girl like him on the street walking with a limp. Some of you might have even gawked at them. Others probably look away when they see them out of shame or fear. Well Joey, 27, and the thousands of other men and women like him don't need your stares or sorrow for their affliction. What they do need is for you to see how normal and fun they are.
Joey got hit by a car at 17-years-old that left him with a permanent limp. Though slightly tarnished to some, Joey shines bright and shows his patience in answering my 9 questions. In my exclusive interview with him (love saying that!) we talked about everything from Twerking-to-Eleanor Roosevelt.He is beyond awesome.
1. Q: Dating is tough in New York no matter what, but having a disability, and being gay; is it harder to date?
A: It can definitely be harder. Having a more visual "disability" makes it is easier for people to draw quick conclusions about me and decide I'm not what they are looking for. The good thing is, the ones who think like that get weeded out pretty quick in the process. I've learned to not take it personal and realize it says more about who they are than a comment on who I am and what I'm worth.
2. Can you Twerk?
A: (laughing) I sadly cannot twerk but now that I have health insurance it may be time to start practicing.
3. You don't identify as a nudist, but you've attended several nudist events like "nude camping," this year. I was worried that you'd burn your Tater Tots. Are people ever shocked that you're there?
A: (laughing hard) my tater tots remain just fine thanks. As for the nudist stuff, I've never had anyone be shocked that I am there. I think that's been one of the most liberating things about dabbling in that environment for me, is that we are all naked and exposed. Flaws and all. It tends to even the playing field a bit.
4. People sometimes assume you're drunk because of your limp; any funny stories about this?
A: My favorite story of mistaken drunken-ness happened one St. Patrick's Day in NYC when a police officer tried to take me in for public intoxication when I was on my merry sober way to the subway. Long story short, I laughed, he laughed (albeit nervously,) and I got a police escort all the way home, and saved myself an hour commute!
5. Any sex tips?
A: if you're partner is silent, you aren't doing it right.
6. You've had a tough childhood (Joey is estranged from both of his parents) and I was blown away with how positive you are; any advice for us jaded and bitter?
A: I have my jaded and bitter days as well, I am a New Yorker after all...I think what has helped me work toward a more positive attitude, especially in regard to my past is simple: one's attitude and outlook on things is a matter of choice. Eleanor Roosevelt said it best when she declared, "no one can make you feel inferior without your consent."
7. What's the biggest misconception about someone with a disability?
A: The biggest misconception about the disabled person as I see it, is that we are weaker than, and more incapable than our more "abled" counterparts. I am by no means an expert on the collective disabled community but I believe it takes immense strength and character to continually face the challenges of a world that wasn't built for you and carve out an existence that is bold and dynamic. There are certainly those who have faced greater challenges than I, and I am constantly humbled and proud to be a part of the handi-CAPABLE community.
8. How do you feel when people stare at you?
A: It depends on how and why they're staring. Most days I shrug it off because people will inevitably look and notice something that is different to them. If they are rude about it, then yea it tends to annoy me. I just repeat to myself again, it tells me more about who they are then it is a comment on myself.
9. Anyone ever just tell you, "hurry the hell up!" when you're walking with them?
A: That actually hasn't ever happened to me. I think if it did I'd probably end up walking even slower just to piss them off.

This one was pretty easy, since I like to shoot with my aperture as low as it will go. I'm obsessed with "blurry backgrounds" (which I have now learned is called depth-of-field....she can be taught!!) and bought the 50mm lens specifically because the aperture goes all the way to 1.8.
To try some other fun, I decided to add in spot metering and back lighting as well as custom white balance (all for the first time). Not my best, but still some cute ones. I like the warm glow around E from the morning light. Looking forward to getting outside to try more (as soon as it warms up!!)

Sears posts surprise profit, but still not out of the woods
Sears Holdings (SHLD) managed to earn a surprise profit in the first quarter, boosting its shares in after-hours trading by 22.3 percent to $61.40. Does this mean that the economy has recovered? Not unless you think a 9 percent plunge in sales is a sign of recovery.
Here are the highlights of Sears' results. It claimed to have reversed a year-ago loss and earned $26 million in the first quarter -- or 21 cents per share. Last year, Sears lost $56 million in the first quarter, or 43 cents per share. Still, Sears is not out of the woods yet since its sales fell more than 9 percent to $10.06 billion in the quarter.
This is way better than analysts had anticipated -- analysts surveyed by FactSet Research estimated a quarterly loss for Sears Holdings of 88 cents a share on revenue of $10.06 billion. The analysts were right on the revenues but way too pessimistic on the loss. It may be short-covering driving up Sears shares.
Unless Sears' revenues rise, we are still in the woods.

Several bus services across the Ribble Valley, which many feared would face the axe after savage budget cuts, will be kept on the road.
Although some of the services through villages have been dropped county councillors have used a £2m. pot of cash to keep others considered to be vital, although changes have been made to the times and routes in some cases.
The cuts came after Lancashire County Council announced it would cease the £7.5m. subsidy for 113 routes across Lancashie. Protestors across the Ribble Valley launched a campaign to save their buses and many even went along to lobby county councillors at their budget meeting.
Even though some services have been axed a further £1m. is available for new services through the Parish Based Partnership.
County Coun. John Fillis said: "The county council's financial situation could hardly be more difficult, with the need to spend all of our usable reserves just to balance the budget over the next two years.
"The decision to withdraw bus service contracts was one of many very difficult decisions we have taken to agree next year's budget, in full knowledge of the impact it would have on those who rely on them to get to work, access education, visit the doctors or do their shopping.
"The cross-party cabinet working group, and the £2m budget to support transport for communities, has been established to mitigate the impact of the contracts being withdrawn and I will carefully consider their recommendations in due course."
Here is a round up of what is happening to the bus services:
Services to be axed: 5A Clitheroe, Longridge, Chipping, (Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings) 5B, Clitheroe, Longridge, Chipping, Garstang, (summer Thursday daytime). 7B Clitheroe local evening service. (Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening) 7S/72 Pendle Witch Hopper (summer Sunday daytime). 10 Clitheroe Hodder Valley Circular (Monday to Friday daytime). 231 Clitheroe-Accrington (Saturday daytime)
Services to stay: 2 Low Moor, Clitheroe, Chatburn, Grindleton/Sawley, service re-designed within Clitheroe. Service 2 (Low Moor) merges with service 4 (Peel Park) Monday to Saturday daytime only. Chatburn, Grindleton, Sawley served by revised service 7.
4 Fulwood to Longridge (Monday to Saturday daytime and Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings). Peak journeys to and from Chipping Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening to be withdrawn. 5 Chipping, Longridge, Whalley, Clitheroe (Monday to Saturday daytime. 7/7A/7B Clitheroe, Waddington, Chatburn, Nelson (daily daytime) service 7/7A to run Monday to Saturday between Clitheroe and Waddington, Grindleton and Chatburn, alternately serving Sawley or Downham two hourly maintaining extension to Nelson. Rimington no longer served.
14/14A Clitheroe, Whalley, Accrington, Royal Blackburn Hospital (Monday to Saturday daytime) Pilkington Bus will provide a 90 minute Monday to Saturday daytime service between Clitheroe and Accrington only and will operate peak journeys arriving/departing Clitheroe.
15 Chipping, Longridge, Ribchester, Blackburn (Monday to Saturday daytime and evenings) service maintained with single vehicle operation on similar two hourly frequency between Longridge and Blackburn. Brockhall and Langho also served by service 25 (Monday to Saturday daytime only) evening service withdrawn.
15 Chipping, Longridge, Mellor, Blackburn (Monday to Saturday daytime and evenings) Darwen Coach Service to provide two hourly daytime Monday to Saturday service between Mellor Brook, Mellor and Blackburn with pick ups for St Wilfrid's High School pupils.
22 Clitheroe, Whalley, Blackburn (Monday to Saturday evenings and Sunday daytime odd journeys) Transdev will continue to operate the first Sunday morning journey and the rest of the Sunday daytime service but later daily evening services withdrawn.

WIFI PASSWORD ALL IN ONE – Download WIFI PASSWORD ALL IN ONE premium cracked apk for Android free, Wifi password all in one contains all the applications to protect you from hackers and crackers.
This protocol allows you to connect to a WiFi network using an 8-digit pin number that usually is predefined in the router, the problem is that the pin of many routers from different companies is known or is known how to calculate it.
This app uses these pins to try the connection and check if the network is vulnerable. It implements several known algorithms for pin generation and some default pins. Also calculates default key for some routers and allows you to view WiFi passwords stored on the device.
Use is very simple, when scanning networks around us, you will see networks with a red cross, these are "secure" networks, they have disabled the WPS protocol and default password is unknown.
Those that appear with a question mark have enabled the WPS protocol, but the pin is unknown, in this case the application allows you to test the most common.
Finally, those with a green tick are most likely vulnerable, have the WPS protocol enabled and the connection pin is known. It may also be that the router has WPS disabled, but the password is known, in this case it also appears in green and can be connected to the key.
For pin connection you need to be ROOT user in less than Android 5.0 (Lollipop) versions. The advantage of being ROOT is that you can show network password if the pin connection is successful we will, otherwise you will connect to the network but cannot show it. Each feature will be enabled or disabled depending on the situation of each terminal.
NOTICE: Not all networks are vulnerable and that the network appears as such does not guarantee 100% that it is, several companies have updated firmware of their routers to correct the fault.
Includes four functions
– View the list of WiFi networks available in your area
– Generate a password web, wpa and wpa2 for your wifi router
– See the signal and all the information about your wifi
– Optimized for mobiles and tablets.
– Compatible with Android 8.0 and more.

Police report 'peaceful' Black Nazarene feast
Millions of devotees joined this year's Feast of the Black Nazarene on Tuesday and police said the procession from Luneta to Quiapo Church has been peaceful.
According to National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO), as of 5 pm, at least 1.5 million have joined the procession.
NCRPO said the spearhead at Arlegui Street is "more or less 720,000" while at the Quiapo Churcg there are around 760,000. "Situation report-peaceful," the NCRPO said.
As part of security measures, cellphone signals were intermittent in the area where the procession will pass.
Around 726 patients were treated by the Philippine Red Cross.
Based on reports, authorities are expecting the image of the Black Nazarene, which is borne on a carriage, to arrive at Quiapo Church by midnight.
The wooden image, which at least 400 years old, is reputed to have miraculous powers. Sick people have been reported to be cured by touching the statue during the procession.
According to Quiapo Church Parochial Vicar Fr. Douglas Badong, they are satisfied how the annual procession started at 5 am Tuesday after the image was transferred from the altar to the "andas ", or wooden base, without any hitches.
"People did not crowd and run towards the image. They instead waited for the carriage to be in position," said Badong.
"That is actually our objective for this year, to have it (image) in the parade ground, then we are okay," he added.
Manila Archbishop Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, in his homily at the midnight mass at the Quirino Grandstand urged Catholics to stop being greedy for power and be humble to serve others, especially those in need.
Present during the midnight mass were Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada, his son and former senator Jinggoy Estrada, PNP Director General Ronald dela Rosa, and Metro Manila Development Authority chairman Danny Lim.
Also present was Papal Nuncio to the Philippines Archbishop Gabriele Giordano Caccia. Ella Dionisio/DMS

Delhi gears up for Durga Puja
Turn up in your best traditional attire and get ready for Bhog Prasad and Dhaak beats as Durgotsav is round the corner.
As Durga Puja draws closer, Bengalis and non-Bengali alike are coming together to set up beautiful pandals at various locations in Delhi. Since the lunar calendar determines the dates of Durga Puja, they vary from year to year in the Georgian calendar. This year, more than 400 puja are likely to take place in and around Delhi between September 26 and 30.
Durga Puja celebrates the victory of the goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura. During this festival, families rarely ever eat at home and spend most of their time in the pandals. Durga Puja comes to an end with the idols of Durga being paraded through the streets and then eventually being immersed in the closest water body.
For the duration of Durga Puja, the goddess is worshipped in her various forms. One of them is that of a virgin girl. This is the day of the Kumari Puja. On this day, young girls are worshipped as manifestations of the divine female energy. Navmi is the final day of Durga Puja. Celebrations draw to a close with a maha aarti. This year, Navmi is on September 29.
September 30 is the day when Durga idols will be immersed. Married women offer sindoor to the goddess and smear themselves with it. The red vermillion powder denotes the marital status of a woman and symbolizes (among other things) fertility.
For the pandal-hoppers in Delhi, here are some of the better known pujas that regularly feature in the top ten.
CR Park
Among the top 10 Durga puja in Delhi-NCR, four take place in the mini-Bengal of Delhi: B-block, Co-operative ground Durga puja, Mela ground puja samity and the Kali Mandir complex. Turn up in your best traditional attire and enjoy the food and performances by various singers and bands from across the country. What's more? B-block and Pocket-52 have decided to go eco-friendly by not immersing their idols in Yamuna and instead in private pits and pools.
Where: Avoid rush hours and heavy traffic by travelling in the Metro. Get off at either Nehru Place station on violet line or Hauz Khas station on yellow line and you can reach there by walking for 4-5 minutes.
Matri Mandir – Safdarjung Enclave
In their 51st year, Matri Mandir Sarbojanin Durga Puja Samiti has decided to dedicate the theme of this year's celebration to 'Women empowerment/Nari Shakti'. "We are of the firm belief that empowering women is the key to building a safe and secure future for our children. We will be showcasing the success stories of legendary Indian women in various fields at our pandal this year. The famous quotes and thoughts of our great leaders quoted above have inspired us to showcase this," said Debashis Saha, General Secretary of the Durga Puja Samiti.
"As an eco-friendly gesture, we have decided to do away with plastic plates this year and have specially ordered cups and plates of betel nuts. We have a daily bhog during the puja that attracts around five thousand people every day," he further added.
The Maha Saptami i.e. September 27 evening would be dedicated to Pancham Da and on the 29th of September on Maha Navami day, an exclusive cultural show at Matri Mandir, Babul Supriyo, a famous name in Bollywood and Kolkata film industry will be performing live for the visitors.
Where: A little over two kilometre from the Green Park metro station, it shouldn't take you more than 10 minutes to reach this pandal that is located in the B-2 block of Safdarjung Enclave.
Kali Bari, Mayur Vihar
The Mayur Vihar Kali Bari pandal is arguably one of the most popular in the city. They have a permanent Mandapa which is decorated in creative style to bring an exclusive aura. The evening arati with the rhythmic sound of Dhaak makes it truly magical. If you are fond of Bhoga Prasad, you must reach here at mid noon when delicious Bhog is served to the devotees for all three days of the Pujo.
Where: Pocket-2 of Mayur Vihar Phase 1; about two kilometres away from the Mayur Vihar Phase 1 metro station.
Kashmere Gate Durga Puja
The puja celebration at Kashmere Gate has been happening since 1909. It is the oldest pandal in the city and is the perfect venue for those who fancy a more traditional celebration. For foodies, this place serves amazing biryani and mutton chaap (curry).
Where: Opposite Indraprastha College for Women in Civil Lines; civil lines Metro station is the closest to the venue.

We have a heart for children, and providing a great learning environment for kids is at the heart of the Oakdale experience. Our Children's Ministry consists of age-appropriate Bible studies every Sunday at 9:00 am. We also plan special events throughout the year, such as:
WHAT CAN I EXPECT?When you enter the building, you'll be greeted by one of our members, who can help direct you to where our Bible classes take place. Our curriculum is customized to fit the needs of our children and help them learn the word of God. We encourage all elementary-aged children to bring a Bible to class so they can learn to read scripture.
We group our children's classes this way:
During the summer, some of the above age groups may combine for larger classes. If you want to attend class with your children, please feel free to do so!
CHILDREN'S WORSHIPWe offer an opportunity for our children ages 3 through 3rd grade to attend Children's Worship during the last half of our regular worship time. Children are dismissed after the offering for customized programming featuring crafts, skits, stories, snacks, games, and lessons that help enhance their knowledge of important biblical principles, characters, and topics. Visitors are always welcome to attend. For younger children or other kids who wish to remain with their parents during the worship service, please feel free to borrow a "Busy Bag" located at the back of the auditorium. Each bag has activities for children and should be returned at the end of service.
DO YOU HAVE A NURSERY?Yes. We have a fully-staffed nursery during Bible classes and during the worship service each Sunday. You can leave your child in the nursery and return to adult class/worship or you can stay with them in the nursery if you prefer. Our nursery features a changing station and a private area for mothers who need a convenient place to feed their babies. If you choose to leave your baby in the nursery and return to the worship service, we'll let you know if there is a need that demands your attention.

We begin with 2 articles discussing online reviews which factor into your inn's Online Reputation.
There is a significant correlation between online reputation and bookings: 78% of travelers say reviews help them feel more confident in their booking decisions, while 53% of them will simply ignore a hotel that has no reviews. Consumers are relying more heavily on user-generated content than on self-promotional advertisements and studies confirm that 95% of travelers say online reviews are completely trustworthy. (!!)
The spotlight on Millennials continues in "How Hotels Can Challenge Airbnb for Millennials' Hearts". We highly recommend clicking on the "2014 report" link which analyzes the millennial business traveler vs the millennial leisure traveler. MBT's spend more per business trip due to the stage of their career; they're not brand loyal yet, and loyalty built with current millennial business travelers will carry over to leisure travelers eventually.
Another option for your marketing plan soon: Amazon Destinations. With the tag line: "Hit the road: Book local getaways" you won't see any flight options as Amazon Destinations emphasizes drive destinations and weekend getaways. This could be a good fit for Inns & B&Bs. Properties set their own rates and availability calendars through the Amazon Local Business Portal, could discount rooms when it makes sense and offer full-price inventory during peak periods to "a large qualified audience," the Amazon sales pitch states.
We wrap up this issue with a focus on food. Does your food photography entice guests? Beth Campbell & Christian Giannelli share tips in the Featured Past PAII Webinar from our Archives.
