Many pre-teens and young teenagers have colorful smiles -- they wear braces. Today's teen braces bear little resemblance to the "train tracks" that baby boomers may remember from their youth -- they're updated in style and make a colorful fashion statement that's good for their teeth! You can even get invisible braces, which are made by Invisalign.
It's not surprising that many teenagers wear braces. Dental experts estimate that more than two-thirds of the population need braces to correct dental problems that occur, including teeth that protrude or are crooked, teeth that overlap and crowd each other, and teeth that have gaps between them. In addition, some children need braces to align their teeth and correct their bite. Whatever the condition, children recognize that they will enhance their appearance in the long term. Parents know that they are actually making an investment in their child's health and appearance. Now with invisible braces children won't have to be self conscious of their smile when the are wearing orthodontic braces!
Not everyone who needs orthodontic braces gets them. Children who have problems with their teeth will not outgrow them, nor will their teeth "just take care of themselves." Crooked teeth or overlapping teeth will stay that way, and will be difficult to clean, which can lead to bacteria growth and gum disease. Bites that need correcting will cause difficulty in biting or chewing as time goes on. Teeth that are not aligned correctly may wear the enamel more quickly, which exposes the teeth to more damage.
It's a good idea to schedule an appointment with an orthodontist when your child's permanent teeth appear, sometime between the ages of five and seven. Your family dentist may recommend an orthodontic dentist in your area if he isn't able to fulfill your needs. You may also ask friends whose children have had orthodontic braces if they have any recommendations.
An early appointment is advised to spot any potential problems that require treatment. Timing is critical since delaying treatment can multiply some dental problems. The orthodontist will be able to tell you how your child's mouth is developing and whether any problems exist. At early ages, children's jaws are still growing; at about age 12, the mouth and jawbones begin to harden. Some children at the earlier ages require a retainer, which sometimes eliminates the need for teen braces at a later age. After this age any structural work may require complex surgery so early treatment is advised.
Because so many children have braces these days, much of the stigma of teen braces has disappeared. In fact, teen braces are often viewed as a fashionable rite of passage. While your child may experience some good-natured ribbing at first, chances are that lots of classmates have braces, too. Remind them that their smile -- and their dental health -- is important to you, and that it won't be long before the braces give way to straight, healthy teeth, guaranteed to make them smile! Plus invisible braces by Invisalign could allow your child to repair crooked teeth and have the smile they have always wanted without the teasing from their peers.
By Danine M. Fresch, D.D.S.
One of the questions orthodontists are most frequently asked is, "When should my child first be examined for braces?" There is not one right answer to this question. The best starting time for orthodontic appliances depends on the type of problem and its severity. Many orthodontists recommend that every child have an orthodontic evaluation at the time their permanent teeth are starting to erupt.
The timing of orthodontics treatment is important. Early examination allows an orthodontist to identify problems and determine when to treat them, for the best results with the least time and expense. For many patients, early treatment achieves results that may be impossible to attain once the face and jaws have completed their growth. In addition, early intervention makes the completion of treatment at a later age easier.
If no treatment is indicated at the initial examination, your orthodontist may simply want to check your child periodically while the permanent teeth erupt and the face and jaws continue to grow. At the initial exam the following will be evaluated: your child's facial growth (amount and direction), excess spacing between teeth, crowding, crooked teeth, extra or missing teeth, and habits that may affect growth and dental development such as tongue thrusting and thumb-sucking. These problems affect not only tooth alignment but facial appearance.
Finally, the importance of an attractive smile should not be underestimated no matter what your age. A pleasing appearance is a vital asset to one's self-confidence. A person's self-esteem often improves as treatment brings teeth, lips, and face into harmony, in this way, teeth straightening can be beneficial to social and career success and improve one's general attitude toward life.

Today's vehicles are going through technological change, getting increasingly efficient, safe, light, durable, eco-friendly, energy efficient, corrosion resistant with reduced emissions. These features are obviously redefining manufacturing processes as well.
There is increasing use of diverse materials such as metal, glass, rubber and a variety of reinforced plastics and composites in their manufacture.
Working with these diverse materials requires superior bonding technologies that will provide safe and invisible joining methods. Over 40kg of adhesives are being used today in the manufacture of an average car, to handle noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) and maximize driver and passenger comfort, provide acoustic insulation and vibration dampening.
As Electric Vehicles (EV) enter the immediate horizon, heavy battery packs and heat-stressed structural joints present new challenges, which will further expand the use of structural adhesives, thermally-resistant and electrically-conductive materials and their appropriate application equipment.

Marines limiting alcohol sale to curb irresponsible drinking
Stars and Stripes October 15, 2013
SASEBO NAVAL BASE, Japan — The Marines have announced new alcohol restrictions for Marine Corps Exchange stores around the world aimed at curbing irresponsible drinking.
The new policy bans the sale of liquor at Marine Marts adjacent to barracks, limits the floor space used for alcohol to 10 percent, and cuts the hours that alcohol can be sold to 8 a.m.-10 p.m., according to a copy of the policy laid out by Marine Corps commandant Gen. James Amos in August.
Facilities outside the United States will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis consistent with existing ration programs and applicable Status of Forces Agreements, Marine officials said. Stores have until the end of November to comply.
"The culture is changing toward more responsible, low-risk drinking," Resilience Education manager Robin Schoolfield said in a Marines statement. "Between these policy changes and prevention efforts, I think a message is being sent across all ranks that we must have responsible drinking behavior."
The policy is designed to discourage excessive drinking by removing some of the convenience in procuring alcohol, Camp Lejeune substance abuse control officer Staff Sgt. Stephen Prince said in the statement. In addition to the restrictions, Amos directed the Semper Fit and Exchange Services Division to continue to work with Corps leadership to educate Marines about the misuse and abuse of alcohol.
Out of the 120 Marine Corps Exchange facilities, 11 Marine Marts -- including Stone Bay, French Creek and Marine Corps Air Station New River -- will have to remove liquor from their shelves. Another 11, including Camp Lejeune's Tarawa Terrace, Midway Park and Berkley Manor stores, will have to cut the floor space dedicated to booze sales, according to the statement and Semper Fit and Exchange Services Division spokesman Bryan Driver.
The Northside Marine Mart at Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni, on the mainland Japanese island of Honshu, will do away with liquor and reduce floor space. Marine officials in Okinawa, home to a large contingent of U.S. Marines, said no decisions had been made there so far.
Officials said that while the policy won't eradicate unhealthy drinking behavior entirely, they hope it will deglamorize the use of alcohol to some extent and help Marines realize how much they are drinking.
"Marines will be more conscious of how much they drink," Schoolfield said. "They have to plan how much they want to drink ahead of time. They won't be able to walk over in the middle of the night to buy alcohol."
The new policy is being implemented in support of the Secretary of Navy's 2lst Century Sailor and Marine initiative in addition to Marine Corps behavioral health, sexual assault prevention and health promotion initiatives, the statement said.
"It's not the end-all-be-all, but there's no question about it, it will have a positive impact on Marines," Prince said.

The Continuing Struggle Between Education and ABA Therapy
When running your ABA therapy practice, there are a number of people that you will interact with beyond your patients and their families.
In addition to ABA therapy, Amvik Solutions understands that a meaningful therapy program involves more than one type of professional treatment. An individual with autism spectrum disorder should have a program coordinated across many disciplines and in places outside of a clinic.
One of the most important places involved in finding a balance in treatment is at school. The educational environment and the manner in which ABA is incorporated in this arena is vital in laying a foundation for individual progress.
The Main Source of Friction
Unfortunately, as is the case with these things, lack of financial support directed towards educational programs for children with autism is a troubling issue.
ABA therapy, which encompasses various forms of treatment, is indeed a costly endeavor. The average cost can be to 20 times higher for children facing severe cases of ASD. This higher average is generally because of the extensive amount of time that goes into the creation and execution of an educational program for a child with autism. These treatments and programs usually consist of 1-on-1 sessions with multiple highly-trained professionals.
While the federal government has passed legislation to improve coverage, the reality is that they are only supplying $12 billion of the $40 billion that was promised. Ultimately, this hampers the development of students while negating the potential savings that early and effective treatment could provide.
Trouble States
For all the progress that has been made in recent years with new legislation and requirements, a number of states still lag behind in their ability to provide effective education options for resident children with autism.
Take Hawaii, for instance, which last year saw a judge rule that the state had violated federal law by failing to provide information and access to ABA therapy to the parents of autistic students.
In addition to the shortcomings of state efforts, the cost and lack of qualified ABA therapists makes it difficult for families to get the treatment they need. Kansas only recently passed an amendment to finance their schools for mandated ABA services. Other autistic therapy choices were covered up until the passing of the bill but many districts had made the choice to not offer ABA therapy. Even in light of these changes, there was still confusion as to how the cost of the amendment would be covered, as well as the specific provisions related to the bill.
South Carolina and Alabama have both experienced struggles trying to raise the level of ABA care that is available to children in-state – and not just when it comes to education.
Trouble in the "Good" States
Despite issues in certain states, there are a number that have developed quality special education programs for children with autism. However, these programs – in states like Massachusetts and California – still make up only a small percentage of special education and are not being copied.
There is usually not much talk about these programs and this leaves them functioning effectively but independently.
One reason that there is not much coverage and exposure given to these programs is simply because of costs. Parents of children with autism frequently look-out for the top resources available for their children and are often willing to relocate over great distances to utilize them.
As good as it is for a program to be recognized, a heavy influx of students ultimately puts a strain on a district's budget and can potentially affect the quality of a program or force the district to turn away students. Another likely reason these sorts of programs get overlooked is sadly that special education generally gets minimal attention – there are simply too many other things that education officials are forced to focus their efforts on.
Test scores and sports achievements are simply bigger news for most people and typically affect the public image of a school district to a larger degree. Test scores are also responsible for the funding that schools receive and are given priority over other educational efforts.
Special education, for children with autism and other conditions, simply does not move the needle for school districts.
Figuring out how to manage ABA treatment programs with school districts and other everyday issues your practice will face is a challenge best faced in partnership. Amvik Solutions is here to support your endeavors.
Contact Amvik Solutions today at 805-277-3392 to find out how we can help to grow your ABA therapy clinic.

Tiesha Jones was devastated to learn in 2010 that her 4-year-old daughter had nine times the allowable level of lead in her blood. The lead came from living in her NYCHA apartment in Independent Houses in the Bronx.
However, things took a landmark turn last week after a jury ruled in their favor, awarding Jones and her now 12-year-old daughter a $57 million settlement. The jury found that NYCHA was responsible for the high lead levels. Jones' daughter has brain damage, and it was proved to the jury that the lead was to blame.
"I felt betrayed," Jones said at news conference this week. "They sent us letters every year stating that our homes were safe, that they were free of lead, and then to find out that my daughter has lead poisoning, it was betrayal."
The settlement comes as fallout continues over NYCHA's years of failure to thoroughly check apartments for lead. A 2017 Department of Investigations report revealed that over the past four years, NYCHA failed to conduct lead paint safety inspections on 55,000 apartments. The agency also lied to the federal government about conducting the inspections.
Adding salt to the wound, it was revealed that NYCHA chair Shola Olatoye lied during a December City Council hearing about lead paint inspections while under oath. Olatoye said workers who inspected 4,200 NYCHA apartments were certified by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, but they weren't.
"NYCHA is clearly disappointed with the jury's verdict but looks forward to the final settlement of this matter upon terms agreed to by the plaintiffs," the agency said in a statement responding to the recent payout.
Reports indicate that NYCHA hopes to negotiate a smaller amount as it continues to grapple with financial problems.
As NYCHA deals with a major lawsuit, it's also dealing with the continued issue of a lack of heat. This week temperatures in the city dipped into the 20s and 10s, and residents are still in the cold. Mayor Bill de Blasio announced a $200 million investment to replace boilers and upgrade heating systems at 20 NYCHA developments experiencing chronic outages.
After weeks of complaints from residents about frigid temperatures in their apartments, many feel their voices are finally being heard.
"Like our investment to replace aging roofs, this commitment to new heating systems cuts right to the heart of the biggest problems NYCHA residents face, and will make a difference thousands of them will feel," said de Blasio. "The record-setting cold this winter has hit these aging boilers and pipes hard. We're coming to the table with real resources to attack these problems, and urge our federal and state partners to do the same."
Funding will go toward replacing outdated boilers and modernizing heating system controls and hot water-making technology. The renovations will be finished by 2022 and will benefit approximately 45,000 residents.
Although the funding for NYCHA heat sounds like good news, critics say the fix doesn't come soon enough. Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. recently called for NYCHA to be put under a State of Emergency because of problems with heat, repairs and the lead paint settlement.
"We cannot afford to wait any longer to make critical, long overdue repairs," Diaz said. "NYCHA must issue an emergency declaration and take the necessary steps to cut through the red tape of the procurement process and replace broken boilers faster. This heat crisis is a dire health emergency, and it requires an immediate, permanent solution."
Others believe that the mayor isn't completely helping a problem. De Blasio has vowed to help 20 of NYCHA's 326 developments.
"New Yorkers cannot afford to wait until 2019 to see their heating systems repaired and modernized," said aid, Afua Atta-Mensah, Esq., executive director, Community Voices Heard. "We need to cut through the red tape and speed up the repair process this year. NYCHA has said they need $2 billion to see every development receive necessary upgrades. We want to see a realistic timeline that helps to meet those immediate needs. Every New Yorker deserves to sleep in a warm home."

There was a time when hammy, low-budget sci-fi movies flew under the radar — until they were lampooned on Mystery Science Theater 3,000. But that was before Twitter.
Remember Sharknado? The campy disaster movie featuring hungry, airborne sharks was a shock hit on Twitter, generating 5,000 tweets a minute when it aired last year. It got low ratings, but in parts thanks to its social media appeal, there's a sequel in the works.
Deb Roy, Twitter's chief media scientist, says the Sharknado phenomenon foreshadowed something big. "Because it just somehow hit a nerve amongst a group of people who were watching it on Twitter, it drove this conversation that spilled into timelines of people who had no idea this strange little movie was airing," he says.
Roy believes Twitter isn't just a way for people to engage with the ideas of the day; it's shaping the entire discussion. "Seeing other peoples' opinions in the moment shapes how I interpret that moment," he says. "It's actually feeding back into the audience and having effects of how audience members are interpreting what they're seeing."
This instant feedback loop affects more than just your favorite TV show. Politics, advertising and the news industry will all feel the impact of Twitter in ways we can't yet comprehend.
Historically, when new forms of communication have arrived — such as the telephone, radio or television — it has taken decades to build networks and fully absorb changes.
But in our post-Internet world, Roy says, "all you have to do is write some code and you can just dream up a new communication medium and say, 'I'd like it to move pictures, but not sound. I'd like it to spread publicly. No, I think I'd prefer it to spread privately.'"
Increased polarization — when people only listen to the voices they agree with — is a big concern. But social media also has the potential to break down barriers.
"When you have a big public network where opinions can traverse very easily across a network, and reach people who would not have even known to follow a certain person, that sometimes an idea or an opinion can spread across polarized lines," Roy says.
But Roy admits that Twitter's reach is still fairly limited — even smartphones and the Internet are the province of those who are relatively well-off. And that, he says, is a problem: "Access to the Internet and access to services like Twitter should really be — just to speak frankly — a basic human right."

August 1-7, 2002
The daughters of the imaginary Roman widow, St. Sophia or Holy Wisdom - popular personifications of the virtues brought into the world by her, or it. They are supposed to have been put to death at the ages of twelve, ten and nine, respectively.
Three of this morning's great Thai language broadsheets3 bring a grim message to the breakfast table: DON'T BE LATE FOR SCHOOL.
It seems that young Kittisak made it to the school gate after it was shut.4 Not wanting to have his name chalked onto the list of latecomers he decided to scale the fence and join his classmates before anyone was any the wiser. Unfortunately, he lost his footing and impaled himself on one of the sharp pointy parts of one of the railing uprights. From the photographs it appears that the rescue team had to cut out a section of the fence ... probably in order that young Kittisak and the impaler could be transported to the hospital in one unbroken 'chain of evidence'.
The elevator in my building carries the typical weight warning with which American and European lift riders are familiar ... but, with a difference; instead of allowing six people to ride in a box the size of a mid-range hotel closet we can fit 11 people into it, provided our combined weight does not exceed 750 kilos.5
1 No, I did not make this up.
2 This probably explains those 1934 Austrian related 'suspiciously-close-dates' of the last week or so.
3 The Bangkok Daily News, The Bangkok Sharp Blade and The Bangkok Fresh News (the latter two are very very rough translations of their Thai titles). I am sure that The Bangkok Rhat had a similar instructive picture on its cover ... but my newsagent was out of stock.
4 Thai schools, to make sure that they catch the tardy ones, lock the front gates just before the students gather in the forecourt to sing the national anthem.
5 Seven hundred fifty divided by eleven yields 68.2 kilos per person. Or, 150 pounds per liftee. Otis (USA) allows 175 pounds per person while Otis (Europe) shaves it to 75 kilos.
Oh my God! Am I the only one to see this conspiracy? And, it is 68 years after the fact.1
A lawyer who abandoned his career because he missed the point in an important litigation.2 His second choice of a profession, the missionary priesthood,3 was more fortunate. He founded the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer. Eventually ill health obliged him to resign his bishopric and the active direction of his order; but as he was also a musician and a poet and a theologian, his time was not wasted, though he lived to be ninety.
1 Yes, dear reader, go back ... day by day ... and check what happened in 1934. Yesterday Hitler became Reichsfuhrer ... the day before yesterday the murderers of Dollfuss were executed ... the day before that Doctor Schuschnigg was appointed Chancellor of Austria ... six days earlier Doctor Dolfuss was murdered ... .five days before that the German S.S. became an independent party. Oliver Stone, you have been chasing the wrong squirrel. ["Of course, Alf, there is a pretty good possibility that most people have in fact heard of these late summer '34 events; perhaps it is you who missed class the day that the topic was discussed."]
2 Something that would thin the ranks of American lawyers to the near vanishing point.
3 A lateral move, career wise.
According to tradition, this disciple was so fortunate as to be able to remove a nail from the hands or the feet of Jesus when He was taken down from the cross. He is also believed to have carved a crucifix now in the cathedral of Lucca; and Our Lord did His own face while the sculptor slept.
The freight traffic on the Chao Phya River is mostly barges; huge things ... usually three or four of them lashed together and pulled by a tug or two. The rest of the river traffic is made up of waterbuses, water taxis, sight seeing boats, dinner cruises and the odd private yacht. But every so often an acre or two of logs, loosely knotted to one another, gets pulled from the up-country forests to the sawmills south of Bangkok. This afternoon a particularly tight selection of timber passed my porch; it even carried several passengers in what appeared to be stadium floor comfort.
I am not sure of the year. But, the day was March 8th and it was the year that ex-President Harrison took ill (but did not die).2 Most of the clippings in the LATIN READER are from around this year. Reader help needed.
The cub reporter at the scene probably 'topped' his own story with "Mrs. Elizabeth Conick Mysteriously Set on Fire." Of course, the night editor nixed that for lack of sales voltage and re-headed it:
But, as was common in that part of the century, the editor eventually did allow a diminuendo of lines of type to cascade into the opening sentence. As you will see, dear reader, Mrs. Cornick became a "literal pillar of flames ... from head to foot ... terribly roasted and her clothing reduced to ashes ..."
Tomorrow, a Sunday, is the Feast of Saint Dominic Guzman. As THOCBDC will be at high evening services, tomorrow's journal may not feel the squirt of hot lead until the early hours of Monday.
1 We've visited Grinling before. Remember? His work is found in those Christopher Wren churches in London.
2 On March 9th The New York Tribune said that General Benjamin Harrison "was lying seriously ill at his home in Indianapolis ..." He was reported to have the 'grip'.
Wescott [He is a bit long today ... but the read is worth it]:1
Before his birth, his mother dreamed that she had given birth to a dog with a torch in its mouth; and his black and white followers, 'the Dogs of God,' have indeed worried the heretic wolves for centuries with sublime ferocity. In his youth, going with his bishop to arrange a royal wedding, he met an attractive cavalcade of papal emissaries, returning out of France to Rome, having tried in vain to convert the Albigenses. He advised them to strip off their magnificence and go barefoot and hungry to so austere a people. A humbler, holier mission was sent; those almost inhuman dissenters were not taken in by a show of poverty any more than by a show of wealth. Some years later Dominic went there himself, and used miraculous tricks to persuade them, throwing the true doctrine in the fire and taking the pages out unscorched, whereas the books of error simply burned. A few were impressed and converted; but, needless to say, innumerable heroes had to be thrown into the fire along with their writings before the one infallible church triumphed.
He met and admired, or wondered at, St. Francis; but the two brotherhoods which put an end to the sanctified egoism of the early monks were quite opposite in spirit; the Dominicans fought for orthodoxy, while the Franciscans labored, as the spirit moved them, for virtue.
Dominic cannot, indeed, be blamed for the squalors and terrors of the Inquisition; but it developed according to his irritable emphasis on theology and was animated by his characteristic Spanish fever - its painful business all done in rapt spasms of enthusiasm as if it were a pleasure.
When Nicolo Pisano was at work on his tomb in Bologna, one of his helpers who was a Dominican and could not be paid for his work, stole one of St. Dominic's ribs. He confessed it on his death-bed; but some other church had got hold of the precious thing and would never give it back.
The Week in Print. The Week That Was. The Week in Review. Yes, all the world's great newspapers have something along this vein: a Sunday delivered capsule of the last seven days of our history.2
Well, every Sunday a couple of the great daily mass circulation Thai language broadsheets pool the work of their best crime-beat photographers and put something together for a This Week in Bangkok3 ... a little post-breakfast read that allows Mom and Dad to graphically point out to the kids the dangers of not minding their elders. The end of July and the start of August was a particularly gruesome seven days for darkroom work. Here is a sampling ... cover to cover ... including a word from a 'sponsor':
1 I said that after skimming the first sentence and the last paragraph. The middle parts aren't really all that good ... except, maybe, for the penultimate paragraph: the one on how Dominic sort of fed the Inquisition.
2 The Times, Le Monde, The New York Times ... just to name three ... remind us of the major stories that helped shape the world since the preceding Sunday. Palestine, the world's economy, North Korea's thaw ... and more; the likes of this are the draw for these papers.
3 I'm not sure of its real name.
The Bangkok Daily News ... (or, it might have been one the other great BKK dailies) ... in its late 'after-school' edition published the story of a young girl who was born a monkey. Apparently her father shot and killed a monkey while his wife was carrying their yet unborn child. At this point the story gets a bit vague and confused ... but, from what the reporter can make out, this act of unjustified 'monkeycide' caused the child's mother to dwell a little too much on the furry dead thing. It seems that all this worry just showed the way ... and allowed some strange unnamed forces to meld the soul of the dead monkey with that of their still embryonic child. The upshot of all this is that the kid is now on a short leash4 ... and it just makes monkey noises ... and it tries to scamper into the jungle at every chance.
1 The first recipient of this $1,000 Lasker Award was the Little Rock, Arkansas (USA) poet Jeff Malostrom. His poem, entitled "Martin," was described by Soren Kierkegaard as the "finest set-piece of writing ..."
Martin sat upon a rock,
Staring at the clock.
He looked up at the sky,
And wished he'd never die.
Martin sighed and Martin cried,
Martin bolted and Martin tried.
But, in the end, Martin died.
2 In the Louis Malle film, DAMAGE, with Jeremy Irons and Juliette Binoche, there is a haunting resemblance between Malostrom's "Martin" and the young 'Martin' who, as the lover of Binoche's character (Anna) and the son of the would-be Cabinet Member (James), is betrayed " ... most savagely ... " by both his father and his lover. This, according to Franz Yortmann in THE FILM (Penguin Mini-Press, 2001).
3 "It's all a load of crap!" - Archibald Feldspar, in THE HORNET (July, 2001).
4 The day this photograph was taken the child (monkey?) was loosely leashed from her ankle to a chair.
It's late! Watcharee and I had dinner with Alex and Nuch over at the Shangri-La Hotel tonight. I didn't take my camera.
"So, Alf, what are you getting at? Are you leading up to a 'filler?"
Well ... I guess you might say that ... but, it's not without merit. I promise. Stick with me. I found this particularly interesting clipping in The Onion. Once you read it, dear reader, you'll have real second thoughts about how 'balanced' God is; hey, there is now mounting evidence that He is a full-blown Nut! And, if that is the case ... Jesus!
NEW HAVEN, CT - In a diagnosis that helps explain the confusing and contradictory aspects of the cosmos that have baffled philosophers, theologians, and other students of the human condition for millennia, God, creator of the universe and longtime deity to billions of followers, was found Monday to suffer from bipolar disorder.
Rev. Dr. J. Henry Jurgens, a practicing psychiatrist and doctor of divinity at Yale University Divinity School, announced the historic diagnosis at a press conference.
"I always knew there had to be some explanation," Jurgens said. "And, after several years of patient research and long sessions with God Almighty through the intercessionary medium of prayer, I was able to pinpoint the specific nature of His problem."
Bipolar, or manic-depressive, disorder is a condition that afflicts millions. Characterized by cycles of elation followed by bouts of profound depression and despair, the disorder can wreak havoc on both the sufferer and his or her loved ones, particularly if it goes undetected and untreated for an extended period. Though the condition is estimated to affect, in one form or another, 5 percent of the world's population, Monday marks the first time it has been diagnosed in a major deity.
Evidence of God's manic-depression can be found throughout the Universe, from the white-hot explosiveness of quasars to the cold, lifeless vacuum of space. However, theologians note, humanity's exposure to God's affliction comes primarily through His confusing propensity to alternately reward and punish His creations with little rhyme or reason.
"Last week, I lost my dear husband Walter to the flood," said housewife and devout churchgoer Elaine Froman of Davenport, IA. "I asked myself, 'Why? Why would God do something like this, especially when He had just helped Walter overcome a long battle with colon cancer, and we were so happy that we finally had a chance to start our lives anew?'"
New York attorney Ruth Kanner also gained firsthand knowledge of God's wild mood swings.
"Last Saturday, on a gorgeous spring afternoon, I was jogging in Central Park with my daughter. We were marveling at the beauty and majesty of nature, and I remember thinking what a wonderful world we live in. Then, out of nowhere, I heard the gunfire," said Kanner, speaking from her hospital bed at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. "All they took was a measly $17, and for that, the doctors say my daughter will never walk again. If only Our Holy Father didn't have those mental problems, my precious Katie might not be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life."
Jurgens stressed that God's earthly subjects need to understand that, because of His bipolar condition, He is not in control of His actions and does not realize how they affect others.
"What He needs from us is understanding and patience," Jurgens said. "To paraphrase the words of the Lord God Himself, 'Humans, forgive Him, for He knows not what He does.'"
While such drugs as Paxil, Prozac, and Zoloft have proven effective in the treatment of bipolar disorder among humans, there is no modern earthly medicine that can be prescribed for a deity as vast and complex as God. Jurgens is in the process of forming a support group, "Living With A Bipolar Creator-Deity," for all of humanity to "get together and discuss their feelings about living in a universe run by an Omnipresent Loved One not fully in control of his emotions."
Jurgens said he believes God's essential condition is seasonal, as evidenced by the bursts of energy and elation associated with springtime and summer, followed by the decay and bleak despair of fall and winter. Sometimes, however, the condition cycles even faster.
"The average person with bipolar disorder may go through as many as 10 or 12 cycles of mania and subsequent depression in a lifetime. In severe cases, a sufferer may experience four or more per year, which is known as 'rapid cycling,'" Jurgens said. "We believe God suffers from the even rarer 'ultra-rapid cycling,' which would account for the many documented cases in which He alternates between benevolence and rage toward humanity within a matter of seconds. For example, last week, He brought desperately needed, life-giving rain to southern Mali while simultaneously leveling Turkey with a devastating earthquake."
Further evidence of God's manic-depression can be found in the Bible, in which the erotomania of the Song of Songs sharply contrasts with the sadness and existential despair of the Book of Ecclesiastes. The Book of Job, Jurgens noted, marks the best example of His condition. The book begins with the bleak lamentations of Job and ends with a full-blown manic episode by God, complete with such classic bipolar symptoms as the illusion of omnipotence and delusions of grandeur.
"One of the major 'heresies' of Christian history is the Gnostic belief that the Creator, or 'demiurge,' of this troubled world is a blind, idiot god who is insane," Jurgens said. "This idea surfaces in many religious traditions around the globe. As it turns out, they were only half right: God has His problems like anyone else, but He is essentially trying His best. He just has a condition that makes His emotions fly out of control at times."
"So it's up to us to make the best of God's emotional problems," Jurgens continued. "Thus, mankind is born to trouble, as surely as sparks fly."
Before opening this morning's mail I want to assure all of you ... good readers ... that Watacharee and I are fine and well. We are quite comfortable in our new apartment ... and, though sparsely furnished, it is a refreshing trade from our cramped days at The Gore Vidal Suite. The last batch of photos that I posted showed the place in a state of unrest; things are now tranquil, as all the bits and pieces have found comfortable places to sit and or hide. However, the view over the river remains pretty much the same.1
My AM post brought a surprise! Though the missive writer did not allude to yesterday's surprise news from Yale University that God was, is and always will be a Nut, the thrust of the message was definitely anti-science and pro-superstition.2 Now, dear reader, before you slam the book shut, hold on for a second. You see this 'epistle' came from The International Flat Earth Society.
Yes ... it's a flat earth we live upon ... not a sphere (according to these believers).3
And, this is their 'platform' (unedited by THOCBDC):
International Flat Earth Research Society
known as
Charles K. Johnson, President
Marjory Waugh Johnson, Sec.
Telephone: (805) 727-1635
PO Box 2533, Lancaster, CA 93539
Aim: To carefully observe, think freely rediscover forgotten fact and oppose theoretical dogmatic assumptions. To help establish the United States...of the world on this flat earth. Replace the science religion...with SANITY The International Flat Earth Society is the oldest continuous Society existing on the world today. It began with the Creation of the Creation. First the water...the face of the deep...without form or limits...just Water. Then the Land sitting in and on the Water, the Water then as now being flat and level, as is the very Nature of Water. There are, of course, mountains and valleys on the Land but since most of the World is Water, we say, "The World is Flat." Historical accounts and spoken history tell us the Land part may have been square, all in one mass at one time, then as now, the magnetic north being the Center. Vast cataclysmic events and shaking no doubt broke the land apart, divided the Land to be our present continents or islands as they exist today. One thing we know for sure about this world...the known inhabited world is Flat, Level, a Plain World. We maintain that what is called 'Science' today and 'scientists' consist of the same old gang of witch doctors, sorcerers, tellers of tales, the 'Priest-Entertainers' for the common people. 'Science' consists of a weird, way-out occult concoction of gibberish theory-theology...unrelated to the real world of facts, technology and inventions, tall buildings and fast cars, airplanes and other Real and Good things in life; technology is not in any way related to the web of idiotic scientific theory. ALL inventors have been anti-science. The Wright brothers said: "Science theory held us up for years. When we threw out all science, started from experiment and experience, then we invented the airplane." By the way, airplanes all fly level on this Plane earth. Our Society of Zetetics have existed for at least 6,000 years, the extent of recorded history. Extensive writing from 1492 b.c. We have been and are the Few, the Elite, the Elect, who use Logic Reason are Rational. Summed up, we are Sane and/ or have Common Sense as contrasted to the "herd" who is unthinking and uncaring. We have absorbed the Universal Zetetic Society of America and Great Britain, ZION U.S.A., the work of Alexander Dowie 1888, Wilber Glen Voliva 1942, Samuel Shenton, Lillian J. Shenton of England 1971. Zetetic: from Zeto, to seek and search out; Prove, as contrasted to theoretic which means to guess, to hope, to suppose, but NOT to 'prove'. Science 'proves' earth a 'ball' by 'scripture' words. We PROVE earth Flat by experiment, demonstrated and demonstrable. Earth Flat is a Fact, not a 'theory'! Our aim is not to 'disturb the herd' or wreck the Government, but rather to be an aid to the Elite Human Being in coming to KNOW earth flat...to then FREE his or her mind from such blind unreasoning 'theory-superstition' and so go on "to carefully observe...think freely...rediscover forgotten facts and oppose theoretical dogmatic assumptions." As Sir Fields, owner of newspapers in England, has said about us, "They are the Last pocket of individual Thinkers in English speaking world." I sometimes call myself the Last Iconoclast. Science is a false religion, the opium of the masses. I myself count it as a beginning of Sanity to confess 'the creation proves there was a Creator' so a God or Creator...Exists. From a life-time of study, of seeking out a proving things, from the study of 6,000 years of recorded history, from observation, from experience, from Common Sense Observation, have concluded the 10 Commandments are in fact good Laws of Living and Behavior for oneself and all in contact with you...truley 'Laws of Physics for Living.' That is my opinion. The Fact the Earth is Flat is not my opinion, it is a Proved Fact. Also demonstrated Sun and Moon are about 3,000 miles away are both 32 miles across. The Planets are 'tiny.' Sun and Moon do Move, earth does NOT move, whirl, spin or gyrate. Australians do NOT hang by their feet under the world...this is a FACT, not a theory! Also a Fact the Spinning, Whirling, Gyrating Ball World Planet, Globe Idea is Entirely 100% now and at all times in the Past, a RELIGIOUS DOCTRINE...a Blind Dogmatic Article of Faith in the Religion for the Blind unreasoning beast of prey. No earthly reason for a Sane, Upright Member of the Elite Elect Humans to subscribe to it. Also a Fact, today the Elite of Earth ALL live on the Flat World. Only the illogical, unreasoning "herd"...prefers the way-out occult weird theology of the old Greek superstitious earth a spinning ball! Both Copernecious and Newton, the inventors of the "modern" superstitions (400 year OLD modern) have said: "It is not possible for a sane reasonable person to ever really believe these Theories." Thus sayeth Newton-Copernecious. What sayeth THOU?

"Alf, ah ... you are stretching the filling a bit thin. Been busy with other things? Any chance you could toss in a picture of Gift? Any one will do. This flat earth thing is giving me a headache."
OK ... Paul, try to find one with a lot of skin.
1 Incidentally this view from the bedroom window captures the giant Coca Cola advertisement billboard far better than did our view from the 14th floor of The Oriental. As you can see, now that the World Cup is history the painters from Coke have another fresh canvas. What will they give us? Stay tuned.
2 THOCBDC has a long history of tolerating stupid views.
3 A splinter group (schism) claims that the sphere theory is a conspiracy by an international cartel of globe manufacturers and that, God or no God, the earth is a pancake. Mainstream believers suck God into it from Day One.

NXP USB VID/PID Program
With the merger of NXP and Freescale, the NXP USB VID/PID program, which was previously deployed on LPC Microcontrollers, has been extended to Kinetis Microcontrollers and i.MX Application Processors. The USB VID/PID Program enables NXP customers without USB-IF membership to obtain free PIDs under the NXP VID. What is USB VID/PID Program? The NXP USB VID program will allow users to apply for the NXP VID and get up to 3 FREE PIDs. For more details, please review the application form and associated FAQ below. Steps to apply for the NXP USB VID/PID Program Step 1: Fill the application form with all relevant details including contact information. Step 2: NXP will review the application and if approved, will issue you the PIDs within 4 weeks FAQ for the USB VID/PID Program Can I use this VID for any microcontroller in the NXP portfolio? >> No. This program is intended only for the Cortex M based series of LPC Microcontrollers and Kinetis Microcontrollers, and Cortex A based series of i.MX Application Processors. What are the benefits of using the NXP VID/PID Program? >> USB-IF membership not required >> Useful for low volume production runs that do not exceed 10,000 units >> Quick time to market Can I use the NXP VID and issued PID/s for USB certification? >> You may submit a product using the NXP VID and issued PID/s for compliance testing to qualify to use the Certified USB logo in conjunction with the product, but you must provide written authorization to use the VID from NXP at the time of registration of your product for USB certification. Additionally, subject to prior approval by USB-IF, you can use the NXP VID and assigned PID/s for the purpose of verifying or enabling interoperability. What are the drawbacks of using the NXP VID/PID program? >> Production run cannot exceed 10,000 units. See NXP VID application for more details. >> Up to 3 PIDs can be issued from NXP per customer. If more than 3 PIDs are needed, you have to get your own VID from usb.org: http://www.usb.org/developers/vendor/ >> The USB integrators list is only visible to people who are members of USB-IF. NXP has full control on selecting which products will be visible on the USB integrators list. How do I get the VID if I don't use NXP's VID? >> You can get your own VID from usb.org. Please visit http://www.usb.org/developers/vendor/ Do I also get the license to use the USB-IF's trademarked and licensed logo if I use the NXP VID? >> No. No other privileges are provided other than those listed in the NXP legal agreement. If you wish to use USB-IF's trademarked and licensed USB logo, please follow the below steps: 1. The company must be a USB vendor (i.e. obtain a USB vendor ID). 2. The company must execute the USB-IF Trademark License Agreement. 3. The product bearing the logo must successfully pass USB-IF Compliance Testing and appear on the Integrators List under that company's name. Can I submit my product for compliance testing using the NXP VID and assigned PIDs? >> Yes, you would be able to submit your products for USB-IF certification by using the NXP VID and assigned PID. However, if the product passes the compliance test and gets certified, it will be listed under "NXP Semiconductors" in the Integrators list. Also, you will not have access to use any of the USB-IF trademarked and licensed USB logos. How long does it take to obtain the PID from NXP? >> It can take up to 4 weeks to get the PIDs from NXP once the application is submitted. Are there any restrictions on the types of devices that can be developed using the NXP issued PIDs? >> This service requireds the USB microcontroller to be NXP products. Can I choose/request for a specific PID for my application? >> No. NXP will not be able to accommodate such requests.

Kinetis Bootloader to Update Multiple Devices in a Network for Cortex-M4
@@This article describes how to do in-system reprogramming of Kinetis for Cortex-M4 core devices using standard communication media such as SCI. Most of the codes are written in C so that make it easy to migrate to other MCUs. The solution has been adopted by customers. This bootloader is based on FRDM-K22 demo board and KDS3.0. The bootloader and user application source codes are provided. GUI is also provided. Customer can make their own bootloader applications based on them. The application can be used to upgrade single target board and multi boards connected through networks such as RS485. The bootloader application checks the availability of the nodes between the input address range, and upgrades firmware nodes one by one automatically. Key features of the bootloader: Able to update (or just verify) multiple devices in a network. Application code and bootloader code are in separated projects, convenient for mass production and firmware upgrading. Bootloader code size is small, only around 3k, which reduces on chip memory resources. Source code available, easy for reading and migrating. For Cortex-M0+ products, please refer to here :Kinetis Bootloader to Update Multiple Devices in a Network - for Cortex-M0+ , it based on FRDM-KL26. The main difference between Cortex-M4 and Cortex-M0+ is the FLASH program routine. - In Cotex-M4 core kinetis, we need copy the Flash operating routines to RAM. In the bootloader code, the copy to ram code is realized in the function of "FLASH_Initialization()": Byte buffer[200]={0}; - In Cotex M0+ core kinetis, we do not need to copy the Flash operating routines to RAM. Platform Control Register (MCM_PLACR) is added. The MCM_PLACR register selects the arbitration policy for the crossbar masters and configures the flash memory controller. Enabling ESFC bit can stall flash controller when flash is busy. Setting ESFC bit can well-balance time sequence of Flash reading and writing – when writing Flash, reading Flash instruction can wait, and vice versa. Using ESFC bit can make our flash programming easier. Thus one Flash can write itself, which is not possible for other one Flash MCU without ESFC bit control. ESFC bit is easy to be set in C code: For more information, please see attached document and code. User can also download the document and source code from Github: https://github.com/jenniezhjun/Kinetis-Bootloader.git

How to add support for K60 120MHz part in USB stack ver 4.1.1
Actually the latest FSL USB stack has become part of KSDK , so it is recommended customer design USB application based on KSDK, while there are some old parts like K70, K60F and KL25 are still not supported in KSDK yet, so USB stack ver 4.1.1 is somewhat of help for those who still develop application based on those parts. USB stack ver 4.1.1 supports K70 instead of K60F, but since they are both Kinetis 120MHz parts, so the porting is very easy, here I provide a porting guide for this part. The porting is based on K70 USB examples, either Host or Device. 1. Replace the device header file. Use MK60F12.h instead, which may be extracted from KINETIS_120MHz_SC(Kinetis 120MHz bare metal sample code) , and put this header file in the folder of "C:\Freescale\Freescale USB Stack v4.1.1\Source\Host\source\bsp\P3" for Host or "C:\Freescale\Freescale USB Stack v4.1.1\Source\Device\app\common\kinetis" for device, and modify derivative.h as below: 2. Macro definition changes in MK60F12.h, MCU_MK60F12 is defined instead of MCU_MK70F12, so in this step we will have to change some code snippet related with MCU_MK70F12. Firstly search MCU_MK70F12 in the project, for example , in the Host demo USB_MSD project based on IAR, you may do that as below: and you may find some macro like "#ifdef MCU_MK70F12" or "#ifndef MCU_MK70F12", and change them as below: #ifdef MCU_MK70F12 ----> #if (defined MCU_MK60F12) || (defined MCU_MK70F12) #ifndef MCU_MK70F12 ----> #if (!defined MCU_MK60F12) && (!defined MCU_MK70F12) 3. IO driver modification. Since TWR-K70F120 has almost the same hardware as TWR-K60F120, there is no need to change the driver code after replacing the header file, except the serial port driver, referring to USB_MSD demo, the serial driver is in sci_kinetis.c, TWR-K70F120M uses PTE16 and PTE17(UART2) as the console, while TWR-K60F120M use PTE8 and PTE9(UART5) instead, so you have to change the driver as below to make printf work properly. void sci2_init(){ #if (defined MCU_MK60F12) || (defined MCU_MK70F12) register uint_16 sbr, brfa; uint_8 temp; #ifdef MCU_MK70F12 /* Enable the UART2_TXD function on PTD3 */ PORTE_PCR16 = PORT_PCR_MUX(0x3); // UART is alt3 function for this pin /* Enable the UART2_RXD function on PTD2 */ PORTE_PCR17 = PORT_PCR_MUX(0x3); // UART is alt3 function for this pin /* Enable the clock */ SIM_SCGC4 |= SIM_SCGC4_UART2_MASK; /* Make sure that the transmitter and receiver are disabled while we * change settings. */ UART_C2_REG(UART2_BASE_PTR) &= ~(UART_C2_TE_MASK | UART_C2_RE_MASK); /* Configure the UART for 8-bit mode, no parity */ UART_C1_REG(UART2_BASE_PTR) = 0; /* We need all default settings, so entire register is cleared */ /* Calculate baud settings */ sbr = (uint_16)((SYSCLK*1000)/(UART_BAUDRATE * 16)); /* Save off the current value of the UARTx_BDH except for the SBR field */ temp = UART_BDH_REG(UART2_BASE_PTR) & ~(UART_BDH_SBR(0x1F)); UART_BDH_REG(UART2_BASE_PTR) = temp | UART_BDH_SBR(((sbr & 0x1F00) >> 8)); UART_BDL_REG(UART2_BASE_PTR) = (uint_8)(sbr & UART_BDL_SBR_MASK); /* Determine if a fractional divider is needed to get closer to the baud rate */ brfa = (((SYSCLK*32000)/(UART_BAUDRATE * 16)) - (sbr * 32)); /* Save off the current value of the UARTx_C4 register except for the BRFA field */ temp = UART_C4_REG(UART2_BASE_PTR) & ~(UART_C4_BRFA(0x1F)); UART_C4_REG(UART2_BASE_PTR) = temp | UART_C4_BRFA(brfa); /* Enable receiver and transmitter */ UART_C2_REG(UART2_BASE_PTR) |= (UART_C2_TE_MASK | UART_C2_RE_MASK); #else //MCU_MK60F12 /* Enable the UART2_TXD function on PTE8 */ PORTE_PCR8 = PORT_PCR_MUX(0x3); // UART is alt3 function for this pin /* Enable the UART2_RXD function on PTE9 */ PORTE_PCR9 = PORT_PCR_MUX(0x3); // UART is alt3 function for this pin /* Enable the clock */ SIM_SCGC1 |= SIM_SCGC1_UART5_MASK; /* Make sure that the transmitter and receiver are disabled while we * change settings. */ UART_C2_REG(UART5_BASE_PTR) &= ~(UART_C2_TE_MASK | UART_C2_RE_MASK); /* Configure the UART for 8-bit mode, no parity */ UART_C1_REG(UART5_BASE_PTR) = 0; /* We need all default settings, so entire register is cleared */ /* Calculate baud settings */ sbr = (uint_16)((SYSCLK*1000)/(UART_BAUDRATE * 16)); /* Save off the current value of the UARTx_BDH except for the SBR field */ temp = UART_BDH_REG(UART5_BASE_PTR) & ~(UART_BDH_SBR(0x1F)); UART_BDH_REG(UART5_BASE_PTR) = temp | UART_BDH_SBR(((sbr & 0x1F00) >> 8)); UART_BDL_REG(UART5_BASE_PTR) = (uint_8)(sbr & UART_BDL_SBR_MASK); /* Determine if a fractional divider is needed to get closer to the baud rate */ brfa = (((SYSCLK*32000)/(UART_BAUDRATE * 16)) - (sbr * 32)); /* Save off the current value of the UARTx_C4 register except for the BRFA field */ temp = UART_C4_REG(UART5_BASE_PTR) & ~(UART_C4_BRFA(0x1F)); UART_C4_REG(UART5_BASE_PTR) = temp | UART_C4_BRFA(brfa); /* Enable receiver and transmitter */ UART_C2_REG(UART5_BASE_PTR) |= (UART_C2_TE_MASK | UART_C2_RE_MASK); #endif #endif } #ifdef __CC_ARM int sendchar (int ch) #else void TERMIO_PutChar (char ch) #endif { #if (!defined MCU_MK60F12) && (!defined MCU_MK70F12) #if (defined MCU_MK20D5) || (defined MCU_MK20D7) || (defined MCU_MK40D7) /* Wait until space is available in the FIFO */ while(!(UART1_S1 & UART_S1_TDRE_MASK)){}; /* Send the character */ UART1_D = (uint_8)ch; #elif(defined MCU_MK21D5) while(!(UART2_S1 & UART_S1_TDRE_MASK)){}; /* Send the character */ UART2_D = (uint_8)ch; #elif(defined MCU_MKL25Z4) || (defined MCU_MKL46Z4) /* Wait until space is available in the FIFO */ while(!(UART0_S1 & UART_S1_TDRE_MASK)){}; /* Send the character */ UART0_D = (uint_8)ch; #else /* Wait until space is available in the FIFO */ while(!(UART3_S1 & UART_S1_TDRE_MASK)){}; /* Send the character */ UART3_D = (uint_8)ch; #endif #else #ifdef MCU_MK70F12 /* Wait until space is available in the FIFO */ while(!(UART2_S1 & UART_S1_TDRE_MASK)){}; /* Send the character */ UART2_D = (uint_8)ch; #else /* Wait until space is available in the FIFO */ while(!(UART5_S1 & UART_S1_TDRE_MASK)){}; /* Send the character */ UART5_D = (uint_8)ch; #endif #endif } 4. Set the correct device type in IDE settings. For IAR, change the device family in view of project options. Now, you can start to run the USB demos on TWR-K60F120M, please note the above steps is ok for USB device stack, but USB Host stack has some code issue , as mentioned in [USB stack ver 4.1.1] a code issue in msd_mfs_generic host demo , so please fix the issue before going further. Hope that helps, Best Regards, Kan

Kinetis K64F - USB FLASH Drive using Internal FLASH and USB MSD device class
Hello, I've created a application of USB FLASH Drive acessing the 1MB internal FLASH of K64 using the Freescale's bareboard USB Stack 5.0 software + FRDM-K64F to be used by anyone as reference. It seems to be stable, I already wrote some files on that and checked the integrity of the volume. It can be very useful for datalogger application where the equipment can store data on the MCU FLASH using a internal filesystem, and read it through PC as it was a regular USB stick. It also very much cheaper than using a external SD Card, as it only needs the MCU + a external crystal and a USB connector.The only limitation so far is that it cannot exceed the number of the erase/write cycles of the device (of course!). Please see the file attached with the USB Stack and the example on the folder "{Installation Path}\Freescale_BM_USB_Stack_v5.0\Src\example\device\msd\bm\iar\dev_msd_disk_frdmk64f". The project was wrote using IAR. Also I have attached the srec file if you don't want to build the project by yourself. Any issues, doubts or suggestions, please let me know. Denis

FREEMASTER: Remote Server Tutorial
For Remote Control means, that is needed two computers - Server Computer and User Computer, which will be in connection. There are two types of connection, which can be used - HTTP or DCOM. There are two different ways how to set up the remote control in Windows. I made the tutorial, which describes both types of Remote Control. Ok - so, let´s start! HTTP Settings On the Server Computer side: 1. Plug the board to the Server Computer 2. Go to Remote Communication Server 3. Set HTTP connection and choose the right COM Port according the plugged board If the plugged board is on e.g. COM23, it is possible to edit number of Port in Device Manager On the User PC side: 1. Open FreeMASTER, go to Project -> Options 2. Choose Plug-in Module: FreeMASTER CommPlugin for Remote Server (HTTP) and type the IP address of the server, do not forget join to IP address :8080 3. And start communication by STOP button to successful connection DCOM Settings On the Server Computer side: 1. Plug board to the Server Computer 2. Launch DCOM in FreeMASTER Remote Server Choose COM according plugged board or edit COM according to step 2 - Server Computer in HTTP Connection (up). 3. Setting permissions for the user, User PC. Right click on Computer -> Manage. In Computer Management click to Distributed COM Users. In Distributed COM Users Properties add the user, User Computer. After that, set the permissions in Component Services. In cmd type dcomcnfg.exe In Component Services go to Computers -> My Computer -> DCOM Config -> MCB FreeMASTER Remote Server Application Right click on MCB FreeMASTER Remote Server Application and go to Properties. In Security Tab is possible to add the permissions. There are 3 types of permissions. First permission - Launch and Activation Permissions. There are 4 permission options. Local Launch and Remote Launch means, that user, User Computer can launch e.g. FM Remote Server Application. But for success communication is needed allowing Local Activation and Remote Activation. Second permission - Access Permissions. Click to Edit and Allow Local Access and Remote Access for the user. Do not forget that if there is a change of permissions, specifically allowing, it is necessary for User to log out and log in. On the User Computer side: 1. Open Freemaster, go to Project -> Options 2. Choose Plug-in Module: FreeMASTER CommPlugin for Remote Server (DCOM) and for filling Connect string is possible to use Configure. Definitely, type the IP address of the server and ;Port Name. 3. And start communication by STOP button in FreeMASTER to successful connection And now.. you can do anything 🙂

[USB stack ver 4.1.1] a code issue in msd_mfs_generic host demo
The USB OTG module in Kinetis parts uses a Buffer Descriptor Table (BDT) in system memory to manage USB endpoint communications, the BDT is a a 512-byte buffer and there are 3 registers in USB module to contain the base address for it, and it must be 512-byte aligned otherwise there would be issue during transfer. In USB stack ver 4.1.1, some Kinetis old parts like K60N512, K20D72M have the demo project basked on CodeWarrior ARM compiler, and in khci_kinetis.c, bdt is defined as following: #define _BDT_RESERVED_SECTION_ #if(defined _BDT_RESERVED_SECTION_) #ifdef __CWCC__ #pragma define_section usb_bdt ".usb_bdt" RW __declspec(usb_bdt) uint_8_ptr bdt; but since the base address is defined as below: #define BDT_BASE ((uint_32*)(bdt)) so the bdt definition is not correct , and we have to change it as below: #define _BDT_RESERVED_SECTION_ #if(defined _BDT_RESERVED_SECTION_) #ifdef __CWCC__ #pragma define_section usb_bdt ".usb_bdt" RW __declspec(usb_bdt) uint_8 bdt[512];//uint_8_ptr bdt; and the definition for usb_dbt section can be found in MK20X256_flash.lcf. with above modification, we can make the demo of "msd_mfs_generic" work well as expected.

ADK Library (Based On FRDM-KL26Z Board.)
Android Open Accessory support allows external USB hardware (an Android USB accessory) to interact with an Android-powered device in a special accessory mode. When an Android-powered powered device is in accessory mode, the connected accessory acts as the USB host (powers the bus and enumerates devices) and the Android-powered device acts in the USB accessory role. This ADK library is based on Freescale Kinetis KL26 MCU, It implements some functions to communicate with android phone.

HID-HOST with FRDM-KL25
In this document we are going to see how to use the attached code which implements the configuration of the FRDM-KL25 board as a USB HOST interfacing with a Numeric Keyboard and a 16x2 LCD. The project is compiled in the CodeWarrior IDE using Processor Expert and the Components to support the USB module of the USB Stack 4.1.1. How to add the Processor Expert USB components. The instructions to install the USB components to use them with Processor Expert are in the documentation of the USB Stack 4.1.1; here you can see the steps as well: Download the USB Stack 4.1.1 from the Freescale's Website (USB Stack 4.1.1) Run the .exe file and install it in the default location. Open CodeWarrior and select Import Components in the Processor Expert button in menu bar. An Open windows will pop up, there you need to go to the path: <install folder>\Freescale USB Stack v4.1.1\ProcessorExpert\Components. To have the complete components and support for the USB module add each PEupd file repeating this step. Close CodeWarrior and open it again to ensure correct installation of the components. Check that the new components are available in the Components Library. About this Project. This project is based in the example code for Processor Expert in the USB Stack 4.1.1 USB_HID_MOUSE_HOST_MKL25Z128_PEx which implements the use of the FRDM-BOARD KL25 and a HID Mouse Device to interface with. In this project the HID Device is a Numeric Keyboard and the HOST Device (FRDM-KL25) is handling the data and printing them in a 16x2 LCD used in 8 bits mode (The LCDHTA component used here was created by Erich Styger; find the component an all the information about it here: http://mcuoneclipse.com/2012/12/22/hd44780-2x16-character-display-for-kinetis-and-freedom-board/ and say Thank you Erich: "Thank you Erich"). Here you can find a video of the implementation of this application: HID HOST WITH FRDM-KL25 The hardware components are: FRMD-KL25 Rev.E Adafruit Prototype Shield v.5 LCD JHD-162A Numeric USB Keyboard (Product Name: Numpad i110, Model No. GK-100010) USB _host Inside the project you can see there is a folder called USB_Host an it contains two important folders with source files: App_keyboard: Contains the specific function for the Keyboard configuration: in use, attached detached, callbacks and more; contain how to handle the data coming from the device. The function process_kdb_buffer is where the data is transmitted to the LCD and use it for the application. Classes: contain the necessary function to handle a hid as the device. Handle all the functions necessary for the USB protocol. Note: The usb_classes.c and usb_classes.h files are generated by processor expert. I attach these two files as well to have a reference how these files must look like. This is because sometimes during the code generation process Processor Expert erases part of the code. I hope this project is useful for you. Best Regards, Adrian.

USB HID Keyboard Host of the USB stack 4.1.1
Hi, I have a project created by Processor Expert and CodeWarrior 10.2 for TWR-K20 demo kit. Becasue I have some problem to use the Processor Expert USB HID Keyboard Host of the USB stack 4.1.1, I need to change to add the non-PE USB HID Keyboard Host into the project. Can anyone tell me how to do it? It will be very appreciated to give me a simple 'PE' example project, and add the non-PE USB HID keyboard host stack. Thank you! Stanley

Keep away the sabudanakhichdi and potato wafers…Navratri doesn't have to mean boring food, not any more. Here are 9 exciting vrat approved recipes to add the feast quotient to your fast.
Crunchy sabudana munchies
Fasting can be fun, especially when you can munch on something as delicious as sabudanachakli sticks. Made with simple vrat approved ingredients like sago, samo rice, chillies, potatoes and salt – making this is child's play.
Grilled Pineapple Shikanji
Why stick to just regular shikanji when you can make this super fruity one. Grilled pineapples add a caramel like sweetness to the drink which is balanced out with a hint of black salt and lemon juice. It is an instant refresher.
Shhakarkand Ki Tikkiyaan
Sweet potatoes and raw bananas are super popular during navratri. Make tikkis out of them to add a dollop of deliciousness to your fast food plate. Slightly sweet, slightly spicy and very tasty – these tikkis are a crowd pleaser, fast or no fast.
Farali Pattice
Spicy, with a hint of sweet in each bite, faralipattice is a must have on fasting days. Soft potato patties stuffed with a mixture of fresh coconut, chillies and dry fruits, deep fried to golden brown perfection. You will wonder why you haven't made these before.
This khichdi is proof that satvik food is indeed for the soul. You can use vratkachawal, if your fasting ritual doesn't permit you to eat regular rice. There is also plenty of freedom when it comes to adding veggies, serve it up with a spicy arbikikadhi and make a delicious meal out of it.
Vrat ki Kadhi
Those who find comfort in kadhichawal are in for a treat during Navratri. Singhada or water chestnut flour givesthe kadhi a nutty flavor which tastes great with rice and even bhakris. Vratkepakode's make a crunchy addition to the meal.
Kuttoo ki khichdi
If you are fed up of the usual fasting staple of sabudanakhichdi, this buckwheat flour one will come to the rescue. The spicy kuttukeattakhichdi is spiked with crunchy peanuts, fried potatoes, lemon juice and a generous sprinkling of sugar, so you get a plethora of flavours in each bite.
Energy ke Laddoo
There is no dearth of sweets and mithais to be made during Navratri, but these laddoos are going to become a regular. 1. They are easy to make 2. They are deliciously addictive 3. They give you the much needed energy boost so you can garbathe night away!
Gulabi Kheer
This kheer is everything you need in a dessert. A creamy coconut base, studded with chunks of tender coconut flesh, crunchy nuts and the lightest aroma and hue of rose petals –little rewards for all the good deeds one has done in life.
Take a look at these recipe ideas which perfectly match the colours of Navratri

Should be called the Two Corneas because mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the ROCK! Should be called the Two Gorditas because this slab of dumb garage rock meets smart went-to-college rock busted my belly with musical deliciousness!
