Specific) by Mark Butala Summary: This exercise introduces the
hardware and software used in the course. By the end of this
module, you should be comfortable with the basics of testing a
simple real-time DSP system with Code Composer Studio, the
debugging environment we will be using throughout the semester.
First you will connect the laboratory equipment and test a real-
time DSP system with provided code to implement an eight-tap
(eight coefficient) finite impulse response (FIR) filter. With a
working system available, you will then begin to explore the

-1.583098 | 7.359918 | -1 | The world of social media is growing and changing so fast that
keeping up with the latest "thing" is an always-one-step-behind
proposition for us old newsprint- and ink-types. So when
someone told me nearly a year ago that the next big "thing" in
social media was something called "Tout," my response was
basically to tell them to wait a few minutes and there would be
something else even bigger coming along. Apparently I was just
a bit off target with that. Since it was released as an app,
Tout has grown tremendously with television programs, sports
teams and companies using it to connect with their customers.
Like so many other forms of social media, people are embracing
it as yet another way to connect and share with each other. And
the fact that it is a mobile platform makes it even more
desirable as people increasingly demand and consume products
that allow them to connect with one another whenever they want
and wherever they are. So, of course, that means Tout is right

hear people's reactions to this comment, which was made by my

found it harder to understand. And now I'm about to give birth
to DC2 and it's haunting me again. There's no real context,
except to say I was having dinner with my parents (happily
married for 40 years) and we were discussing a friend of mine
whose long-term relationship had collapsed when (both in their
mid to late 30s) her DP had confirmed that he most definitely
did not want to have children- and nothing would change his
mind. As my friend most definitely did want children, she felt
she had no choice but to move on. My mother said she couldn't

stores any time we went out of town. My brother and sister and I
groaned when we'd pass by signs for antique malls and thrift
stores as it could only mean one thing: a detour that translated
to less time in the swimming pool at the hotel. But now I
understand... What I learned from all those detours is that
buying truly interesting and worthwhile items at an antique or
thrift store takes a little practice, a little intuition, and a
lot of patience. With that in mind, it's a little easier to
understand why you might not find that perfect antique hutch on
your first trip out. I keep the same thing in mind when I'm
shopping for something on Craigslist or in a thrift shop. If
there's something very particular in mind, I hold out until I

confidential and sensitive data from accidental disclosure is
very important, and we should all strive to properly handle data
erasure and the disposal of media. How can I be sure files are
erased? Data can be stored electronically in multiple formats
and locations. Data sometimes includes sensitive documents or
possibly data containing personally identifiable information
such as a social security number, credit card information, or
health related information. For example, the initial information
may arrive on a CD and then copied to the computer’s hard drive
and subsequently backed up for disaster recovery purposes. In
this example, there are three different storage mediums: CD,
Hard Drive and backup media. In addition, just viewing a file
stored on a CD can create a temporary image of the information

# 28 Logic Problems Help Photo Shoots by Randall L. Whipkey
When world-famous photographer Adam Anzell recently had five ad

shoot magazine photos, he picked five scenic Summerset sites,
including the Shot Tower, as locales. At each shoot, Anzell
worked with a different supermodel--one being Sher--who endorses
the particular product. The shoots were done at 2-hour
intervals, beginning at 9:00 a. m. Can you find the whole

Relationships are supposed to be the source of women's greatest
joy and satisfaction, but more frequently, they are the location
of disappointment, pain, and just plain hard times. Even the
best relationships get stuck in too much distance (we stop
talking together about things that matter) or too much intensity
(we overfocus on the other things that matter) or too much
intensity (we overfocus on the other person in an angry or
worried way). And the more we try to change things-- or fix the

moving money electronically. Expanded Definition The major
advantage of a wire transfer is speed. The money arrives in
hours and is immediately available. Contrast that with
depositing a check in your bank. You will not usually be able to
write checks against those funds for three days. If one were to
mail the check, delays can be even longer. Who earns interest on
the funds until they are credited to your account? What happens
if the check is lost in the mail? (Someone stops payment on the
first check--for a fee, and reissues a new check. But it's
delay, delay, delay.) Wire transfers also work well for
international transfers. Your bank, broker, or mutual fund
company will usually be able to arrange a wire transfer if you
request it. Some charge a fee for this service. You will want to
consider if the fee is worth it. For major transactions
involving large sums such as the sale of real estate, wire
transfer is highly recommended. Related Foo |

Lines By: Jana Pijak - Published: • References: & frameweb
House-T by Tsukano embraces a modern design concept that takes
inspiration from Japanese Minimalism. The stunning linear
structure exudes a sense of power due to its simplicity and
understated air. The home is located on a busy street corner in
Miyazake, Japan and was conceived by architect Michiya Tsukano.
Embodying a sense of calm that associates itself with Japanese
minimalism, this contemporary architecture piece transforms into
a modern day sanctuary. House-T by Tsukano is enveloped in a
curtain of white concrete that wraps the cubed structure,
ensuring its inhabitants privacy from urban life while leaving
room for sunlight entry from the home's interior courtyard.
Paired with white concrete, raw hardwood floors keep with the
home's simplistic concept while adding warmth to its stark white
interior. Stats for Minimalist Shadowbox Abodes Trending: Older

when a unit (by sea) reaches a beach, and begins to defend that
area of beach, while other reinforcements (it is hoped) help
out, until a unit large enough to begin advancing has arrived.
Sometimes used interchangeably (both correctly and incorrectly)
with Bridgehead and Lodgement. Beachheads were very important in
operations such as Operation Neptune, the Korean War (especially
at Inchon), and the Vietnam War, among many other examples.
Although many references state that Operation Neptune refers to
the naval operations in support of Operation Overlord, the most
reliable references make it clear that Overlord refers to the
establishment of a large-scale lodgement in Normandy, and that
Neptune refers to the landing phase which created the beachhead;
i.e. Neptune was the first part of Overlord. According to the

job! 2. Thanks for the kind words. He is a nice looking guy,
and I always sort of hoped that he in fact did not die in that
shoot out in South America . . . that he returned to the US and
lived to a ripe old age. 3. I'm surpised there aren't more
photes. I do think they were killed there,too many things point
to it.They were tired and got careless. |

dealing to kids. But what if a city that had the 'zones', but
among all the arrests withint the zone (and its about 75% of the
city) there were arrested none who were cited as dealing to
kids? Wouldn't one suspicion the zone had demonstrated no
meeting of its purpose, but a GREAT showing of enhanced
sentences for urban street dealers (predominantly African
American)? The 'zones' are failures in reality. Ken Lammers

some sort of Utopia. In general, the anti-drug programs in

least my clients never have trouble getting anything they want.
There has been a massive increase in the legal system (courts,
attorneys, law enforcement) which all revolves around drug
activity. Our civil rights have been trashed - especially the

1.408036 | 2.128257 | -1 | Monday, August 20, 2012 Here's where I stand on the Eid
harassment photos Women were harassed during the Eid al-Fitr
holiday in Cairo. It's abhorrent and should be stopped. I fully
support that. I also fully support spreading harassers' pictures
across the globe and calling their mothers AND aunties.
However, it DISGUSTS me that whoever caught these images on
camera - of women being harassed, boys grabbing women's behinds,
etc - did not bother to blur the victims' faces before spreading
the images across the internet. Did it not occur to you that
these poor girls' privacy has already been invaded enough? Would
you post a picture of your little sister - who looks barely 14 -
having BOTH of her breasts grabbed by two different boys behind
her? Would you want that picture to go viral? No? Well I've seen
that picture floating around tonight. The argument that it
takes too long to blur the faces and it's better to just get the
pictures out there is COMPLETELY inexcusable, in my opinion. As

Jethro Tull Having lasted into the late '70s,
Jethro Tull now found itself competing in a new musical
environment, as journalists and, to an increasing degree, fans
became fixated on the growing punk rock phenomenon. In October
1977, Repeat (The Best of Jethro Tull, Vol. 2), intended to fill
an anticipated 11 month gap between Tull albums, was released on
both sides of the Atlantic. Unfortunately, it contained only a
single new track and never made the British charts, while barely
scraping into the American Top 100 albums. The group's next new
album, Heavy Horses, issued in April of 1978, was Anderson's
most personal work in several years, the title track expressing
his regret over the disappearance of England's huge shire horses

Stuart Brown attacked his wife, punching her 24 times A senior
doctor who savagely beat up his wife after they argued about
buying a new car has escaped a prison sentence. Anaesthetics
consultant Stuart Brown, 37, threw his wife to the floor and
punched her at least 24 times as she lay at his feet. He
claimed a "red mist" descended after she went to sleep in the
spare bedroom. The vicious assault on Carol Mcewan followed
regular verbal and physical abuse during their seven-year
marriage. But Brown, 37, who is thought to earn £100,000 a
year, walked free from court after being ordered to pay her just
£500 in compensation. Magistrates decided against jailing him
because he had no prior convictions and was of previous "good
character". Presiding magistrate John Warne told him: "No
punishment this court could enforce could come anywhere near the
impact you feel this had on you, your profession and your
colleagues." The case was heard in the sam |
0.254113 | 8.559538 | 103 | Take the 2-minute tour × I'm in the process of producing QR-
codes for use on product packaging. The codes are generated in
batch and the resulting files are typically 25x25 px PNG files.
Of course, such a small image would normally be way too low res
to use in print, i.e. a 1x1 inch image would need to be 300x300
px in order to print in 300 DPI. When it comes to simple images
such as QR-codes (I guess this would also apply to bar codes
without the digits) I realized that the actual resolution of the
image is not really relevant, as I can easily resize the image
to any size I prefer using nearest-neighbor resizing option in
Photoshop. In a way, the resulting 250x250 px image won't
contain any more information in terms of "QR pixels" than the
25x25 px version, apart from the obvious fact that the file will
be larger in size. Also, when resizing to a width not evenly
divisible by 25 (e.g. 70x70) the resulting QR pixels will not
all be the exact same width. This has got me thinking I can
simply place the 25x25 |

Ashe told herself, if Balthier really was as heartless as she'd
originally thought him to be. A man who would demand that a
widow give up her husband's wedding ring wasn't supposed to have
any ounce of kindness, and he certainly wasn't supposed to be
capable of loving. And yet... all she had to do was look at him
to know he was in love with the sky. He was, at that moment,
pointing out the constellations to Penelo. The girl's eyes were
wide with wonder as she attempted to trace the patterns of
warriors, monsters, and ancient royals in the stars. Likely,
orphaned as she was, she'd not had anyone to show her the
night's treasures, nor teach her the legends that went with
them. Not for the first time, Ashe wondered what life Balthier

60th birthday PTI Oct 8, 2012, 05.03AM IST LONDON: Barcode,
the distinctive black-and-white stripes that provide details
relating to an object you purchase, has turned 60. There are
more than five million individual barcodes in use worldwide,
according to regulator GS1 UK. Barcode is an optical machine-
readable representation of data relating to the object to which
it is attached. The first item to be scanned by a barcode was a
packet of chewing gum in an Ohio supermarket in 1974, the report
said. Barcode did not get a universal welcome, with some wine
manufacturers refusing to use it on their labels for aesthetic
reasons. Now it occasionally doubles as body art, with US singer
Pink among those who sport a barcode tattoo. |
