This is not a hotel.
This is a work of art. Lars Stroschen, the creator of Propeller Island City Lodge is very clear when dealing with the topic on his website, writing things like "living in a work of art" or "a stay-in work of sculpture". It doesn't hurt to be prepared for this, when picking the Propeller Island for your Berlin stay. The office hours may give you a hint. The phone is open for reservations weekdays between 8.00 and 12.00. For the other hours, e-mail is the option.
I avoided the coffins and stayed in the 'Orange Room'.
The Propeller Island City Lodge has 30 rooms. I stayed in the "Orange Room" which means that every surface in the whole room, with the exception of the glass windows has been painted orange. This design is pretty low-key. My friend Anders stayed in the black and white room. Think Keith Haring minus erected penises. The most talked about room in the building has two coffins acting as beds. It has been featured everywhere, from posh Swedish interior magazines to the Boston Herald. Just google it and see what comes up.
Please, note that there is no front desk.
The office is open 8-12 AM CET. The hotel (or should we say Lars) is very focused on your arrival time – which is because he must be there to open the door for you. Lars wasn't born to be a hotel manager. He used to be a musician. But he is a pleasant guy, so you will most probably feel very welcome to Propeller Island. Lars is the one fixing breakfast and he does it well. So forget about 24-hour room service. You will be taken care of by Lars and that is not a bad thing at all. Of course there are downsides with having just Lars around. If you have an early flight out of Berlin, you have to wait for Lars in order to return the key to your room. And Lars arrives at eight zero zero.
I am happy to recommend the Propeller Island.
It's great value for money. It's fun. It's special. When you've stayed here, you may tick the box 'Stayed at Propeller Island' and you have a better story to tell when returning from Berlin. But it's hardly a place you return to over and over again. But big ups to Lars to be crazy enough to accept visitors to his home. The world would be significantly more boring without people like him.
NOTE: In Lars Stroschen's opinion the whole of Propeller Island is a work of art. Consequently, he wouldn't be happy to find my pictures from the rooms on this page. Until I have talked to Lars, this picture of the door-bell at the entrance will have to represent the Propeller Island.

Two Southern California newspapers have been recognized with Pulitzer prizes for excellence in journalism.
The Los Angeles Times took home two awards, while reporters at the smaller, Torrance-based Daily Breeze took home another.
It was the first Pulitzer Prize not only for the Breeze, but also for the entire Los Angeles News Group, which includes the L.A. Daily News, the Long Beach Press-Telegram, the Pasadena Star-News, the San Bernardino Sun and others, according to the paper.
The three reporters at the Breeze won for local reporting for their series on "widespread corruption in a small, cash-strapped school district, including impressive use of the paper's website," according to the Pulitzer citation.
Rob Kuznia, Rebecca Kimitch and Frank Suraci's stories first uncovered how Centinella Valley High School District superintendent Jose Fernandez negotiated so many perks in his contract that he managed to amass $663,000 in compensation in 2013. The series went on to expose the district's massive spending on legal fees and a culture of cronyism.
L.A. Observed reports that one of the reporters is no longer working in journalism:
We should note that Kuznia left the Breeze and journalism last year and is currently a publicist in the communications department of USC Shoah Foundation. I spoke with him this afternoon and he admitted to a twinge of regret at no longer being a journalist, but he said it was too difficult to make ends meet at the newspaper while renting in the LA area. Kuznia was one of the reporters who left the Santa Barbara News Press during the whole Wendy McCaw mess up there.
At the L.A. Times, Mary McNamara won "for savvy criticism that uses shrewdness, humor and an insider's view to show how both subtle and seismic shifts in the cultural landscape affect television," according to the Pulitzer citation.
Diana Marcum, also of the Times, won for feature writing. Her series of stories from California's Central Valley offered "nuanced portraits of lives affected by the state's drought, bringing an original and empathic perspective to the story."
McNamara and Marcum's awards bring the Times' total Pulitzer count to 43, according to L.A. Observed.
The award for public service went to The Post and Courier of Charleston, South Carolina, for "Till Death Do Us Part," described in the Pulitzer citation as "a riveting series that probed why South Carolina is among the deadliest states in the union for women and put the issue of what to do about it on the state's agenda."
Glenn Smith, special project editor at the Post and Courier and a reporter on the seven-part series, spoke to WNYC last year about the stories, pointing to inherited notions of violence, according to NPR:
"Guys grow up to believe this is how you treat women," he said. "Women grow up to believe this is how you're supposed to be treated by your man."
In the arts, the fiction prize went to Anthony Doerr for "All the Light We Cannot See."
According to the Pulitzer citation, Doerr's work is "an imaginative and intricate novel inspired by the horrors of World War II and written in short, elegant chapters that explore human nature and the contradictory power of technology."
Gregory Pardlo won for poetry for his "clear-voiced poems that bring readers the news from 21st Century America, rich with thought, ideas and histories public and private."
The prizes come with a $10,000 award.

10th Annual Conference of itSMF Czech Republic
Event: 10th Annual Conference of itSMF Czech Republic
Date: 21st and 22nd January 2016
Name: A Simple or Complex IT?
Organizer: itSMF Czech Republic in cooperation with the Czech Association of IT Managers
Venue: The Top Hotel Prague
About the conference
The aim of this year's conference is to assist management in companies and public administration organizations in managing the performance of organizations with IT support, and using the best practices, methods and techniques within IT branch.
IT can be operated either simply or complicated, however, what way and when is the right one? This issue and much more will be addressed at this year's annual conference of itSMF Czech Republic. Together we will be thinking over whether the simplicity means a higher quality of service for less money? Or whether it may be sometimes the contrary? Or are there more routes leading to optimal quality and optimal cost? What are they? At this year's conference we jointly have a look at practical examples of where simplicity proved and where on the contrary, the quality requires more sophisticated solutions.
This year's conference will be held under the supervision of two organizers whose are itSMF Czech Republic and the Czech Association of IT Managers and therefore we can again look forward to a two-day conference, for which we have prepared lectures divided into four basic blocks:
Remember Me
17/05/2020itSMF Austrailia 23rd National Conference
17/05/2020itSMF UK: ITSM 2020 Conference
17/05/2020itSMF Slovakia: Edge of Tomorrow

A lot of integrated oil companies have split up into separate upstream and downstream companies; witness Marathon and ConocoPhillips.
Others have sold their downstream businesses piecemeal; Hess is doing that now.
At the very least, integrated oil companies like ExxonMobil have cut way back or eliminated company-owned gas stations.
But now we have a strange phenomenon: one of the nation's best-known independent oil producers is going into the retail side of the biz.
We're talking, of course, about Ewing Oil.
On Monday, it will be revealed that somewhere in the US, a real-live gas station will open as Ewing Energies, owned by the fictional Ewing Oil of "Dallas" television fame. The pump prices are expected to be cheap…real cheap.
The whole plan is to get a lot of attention as the new season of the second coming of "Dallas" commences. The first act, back in the 80′s and briefly the 90′s, featured backstabbing, sex, beautiful women and oil. Now it features backstabbing, sex, beautiful women and methane hydrates.
Never mind the fact that in the real world, there's no such thing as an independent producer who skips the whole inconvenient refining part of things and also owns a gas station, except maybe for Lukoil. (Produces oil, owns the former Getty chain, mostly in the northeast US, but doesn't refine in the US, though it refines elsewhere.)
Blog post continues below…
|Request a free trial of: Oilgram News
|Oilgram News brings fast-breaking global petroleum and gas news to your desktop every day. Our extensive global network of correspondents report on supply and demand trends, corporate news, government actions, exploration, technology, and much more.
In the US, there's now the handful of integrateds who refine but don't own retail; the independent refiners who franchise or own their stations, like Valero; the hundreds of independently-owned branded or unbranded retail outlets, from big guys like RaceTrac to smaller ones who might own a station or two; and now, a whole new category: Ewing Energies, somewhere in the US. (Revised Addendum: The location of the one-day gas station is 466 10th Avenue in Manhattan, an island where there are hardly any gas stations anyway.)
As a big fan of both the original and revival of "Dallas," let me just say: bravo for marketing genius. I won't be pedantic and note that an independent E&P company doesn't own retail. I'll just sit back and enjoy the new season, as I have since I watched the very first episode in my college apartment in 1978.

I love spring fashion, as it combines light weight clothing with the ability to still layer up.
With winter slowly but surely ramping up for the year here in Sydney, spring is amongst us. I have watched new spring line collections closely as they hit Australian shores and have already picked out my favourite ensembles for the season ahead.
A/X Armani Exchange has most definitely captured my attention with the launch of their Spring 2015 collection. Not only are the designs youthful but introduce a range of colours exclusive to their male assortment that scream casual trending for the upcoming season.
Armani Exchange's new spring collection is all about layering various pieces and my personal style is all about that!
In a city that already encompasses an incredibly relaxed energy, my choice of outfit was the perfect look for a casual chic day around the city. The three colours that dominate this outfit are my favourite combo. The colour choice was solely based on making the mustard coloured parka stand out amongst the other items of clothing. The Armani Exchange light weight parka was perfect amongst my chosen accessories to keep the simplicity of the outfit visible.
Purchase A|X Collection new Spring 2015 collection exclusively available at Westfield Sydney City and Emporium Melbourne.
Head over to Armani Exchange to purchase the new Spring 2015 Collection. You can find all facets of the outfit details and more on the below link:

Numbers tell only part of the story. At the end of each quarter, we're showered with statistical reports that require us to consider the macro and the micro of our market. Yet each neighborhood and even each building has its own contextual history. To best serve buyers and sellers, agents need to dig deeply into quarterly reports and then plough even deeper into individual comps, examining both sold and current properties to scrutinize every factor that influences a sale including condition, staging, monthly carrying charges, price drops, time on the market, and extenuating circumstances.
What is the data telling us? Below are my takeaways for this last quarter, year over year from Compass Q3 2017 Manhattan Market Report.
- The market's strongest sector comprised condos priced between $1-$3 million and between $3-$5 million where the volume of signed contracts increased by 11% and 8% YOY respectively. This is where the most buyers are finding value.
- The inventory of available condos for sale exceeds the number of co-op offerings by 22.7%. However, there are more co-op transactions than condo sales.
- More contracts were signed for co-ops than for condos in Q3—16.5% more.
- More closings occurred for co-ops than for condos—22.4% more.
- The price differential is increasing significantly between co-op re-sales and condo offerings:
- The median asking price for a 2BR co-op was $1.550 million—60% less than the median asking price of a 2BR condo with an asking of $2.480 million.
- The median asking price for a 3BR co-op was $2.995 million—about 50.5% less than the median price for a 3BR condo priced at $4.512 million.
- Median closing prices have increased for co-ops and condos but have dropped dramatically for new development.
- The median condo closing price increased 3% YOY to $1.7 million.
- The median co-op closing price increased 7% to $875,000.
- The median closing price for new development was $2.3 million, down 33% from YOY numbers inflated from closings at super towers like 432 Park Avenue.
- Time on the market increased by 20% to 60 days from 50 days YOY.
- The absorption rate for Q3 in 2017 is nearly the same as last year's, indicating a stabilizing market where typically six to nine months of supply demonstrates equilibrium.
With so much data at our fingertips, how do you best advise a seller?
The market trends are clear. As inventory increases, albeit slowly—3% in Q3—and properties stay on the market longer, buyers have more options. Multiple price reductions are occurring with greater frequency. Negotiability is greatest in the super luxury category. The best advice to sellers remains pricing on target to create urgency, and after four to six weeks of marketing, if there are no bids, to make a compelling price reduction to capture a new set of buying attention. In a shifting market, sometimes a less than hoped-for selling price, however painful, can be best.
Last year our market was deep in transition in nearly every price category and location. This year it's more of the same, as buyers gain a more secure foothold and firmer negotiating edge. Last year's election uncertainties have morphed into political disfunction and worries globally persist. Prevailing low mortgage rates and increasing new highs for equities provide a favorable backdrop for deal making. Today's agent needs to be a master at crunching the numbers, analyzing and interpreting the stats for homeowners who are often confounded by the variables. In this last quarter of 2017 and into 2018, savvy buyers will be out shopping with their brokers in increasing numbers, taking advantage of substantial price reductions. There's opportunity for buyers and sellers alike ahead in a more balanced marketplace.

Street art is a modern art movement and the focus of a year's work by participants of the Gallery's Outreach programmes in Grand Cayman. Through street art, these emerging artists were able to express their personal commentary on global and local social issues.
In attendance at the exhibition opening earlier this year and with opening remarks were Cayman Brac District Commissioner Mr. Ernie Scott and the Deputy (Acting) Premier Ms Julianna O'Connor Connolly.
Simone Scott, the National Gallery's Sister Islands officer, was thanked by Commissioner Scott for facilitating the artistic display on the Brac. Mr. Scott hopes more people will come out to see the work. "As this exhibit shows, that everyday people can produce great pieces of art," he says. "People can be inspired by it to do positive and creative things instead of recent negative activities."
Ms O'Connor Connolly also encouraged the community to push the youth of our Islands to pursue the arts, giving them a positive area to channel creative energy. She commented: "The piece that grabbed me as I walked in the door was the one with Gandhi."
Ms Conolly recalled the quote in the piece 'An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind' and explained: "We must therefore find positive outlets for our emotions other than violence and art is a good way to do that as these pieces of artwork show us."
Although street art uses the same techniques of spray painting, tagging and stencilling as its predecessor graffiti, those in attendance soon understood the distinctive difference between the two: street art can be used as a learning tool and has the ability to raise awareness about social issues in a constructive way.
Looking at the expressions of the women portrayed in the image titled 'The Scream', one viewer commented that she could "feel the anguish radiating from it", evidence that this developing art form is indeed a positive outlet to express one's feelings. Another visitor said she was glad she had been given the opportunity to view the exhibit.
"We don't often get to see this type of art in the Brac and I'm very excited that the public is embracing it," says Simone Scott. "I've seen people who normally never come out to exhibits, attending to view this work specifically and they've been excited over it."
The exhibition was accompanied by a lecture discussing the premise of Street Art and its origins and a street art workshop was held the following day at the Cayman Brac Heritage House.
Jessica Wallace, the Gallery's Education and Outreach coordinator, was impressed with the workshop participants' creativity and their ability to enthusiastically express opinions on social justice issues. Many of which said going forward, they would use the techniques learned on the day in their own work.

By Dr. Gary North
And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the Lord thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household.(Deut. 14:26)
The key biblical passage that is rarely discussed in detail by anti-alcohol, total abstinence advocates is Deuteronomy 14:26, which refers to the festival of celebration, part of the mandatory tithe system. "And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household."1 Total abstainers will occasionally refer to the passage's authorization of wine, and then say that the Hebrew word really means grape juice. But their exegetical problem is the Hebrew word shekar, here translated as "strong drink." It is based on the Hebrew word shakar, which means "to be, or become, drunk, drunken."2 Shekar is accompanied by the Hebrew word for wine in all but one instance (Numbers 28:7) of the 22 times that it appears in the Old Testament.3 This is because wine also intoxicates, just as stronger alcoholic beverages do.
This places the strict prohibitionist in an intellectually embarrassing exegetical position. He is either forced to deny literally all of the Hebrew lexicons4 and also the contexts of the passages that include shekar,5 or else he is forced to conclude that God in the Old Covenant authorized the consumption of alcohol as part of a mandated family festival of celebration. How can a Christian logically make a universal condemnation of something that was specifically authorized by God for His covenant people, as part of their mandatory national worship?
If he argues that alcohol used to be morally acceptable to God, but is now prohibited by God, he must find explicit references in the New Testament to prove his case. Problem: there is no such universal New Testament prohibition.6
The Mosaic priests were not allowed to drink either wine or strong drink inside the tabernacle. "Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations" (Lev. 10:9).7 The reason for this prohibition was that alcohol belonged exclusively to God inside the tabernacle or the temple. Alcohol was a special offering to God. It was poured out to Him, not just wine, but strong wine—clearly not grape juice! "And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the strong wine to be poured unto the LORD for a drink offering" (Num. 28:7). Why would God demand a sacrificial offering of something inherently corrupt, foul, or immoral? This makes no sense. This is why strict prohibitionism makes no sense.
Wine in the Old Testament was not grape juice. Grape juice does not have the following effect: "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise" (Prov. 20:1). Obviously, grape juice does not have any inflaming effect. Both wine and strong drink were legitimate for most people most of the time. They were both part of God's holy system of mandatory national festivals. Furthermore, "Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts" (Prov. 31:6). It is addiction to alcohol that is prohibited: "Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!" (Isa. 5:11). Wine is dangerous for addicts.
Grape juice is not. "But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment" (Isa. 28:7). Wine inebriates. So does strong drink. "Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered" (Isa. 29:9–10). It is clear why the proponents of total abstinence from alcohol never discuss wine in the context of strong drink: both are intoxicants, yet God authorized both for one of His mandatory festivals. Did God authorize something that is immoral? Of course not. So, total abstainers avoid discussing Deuteronomy 14:26.
In the world before pasteurization, all commercially available wine was fermented, i.e., alcoholic. Only after a Methodist dentist, Dr. Thomas Welch, figured out in 1869 that he could kill wine by pasteurizing it, so that he and his Methodist peers would no longer have to drink wine at the Lord's Supper, did grape juice appear, or, as his commercial product was originally called, Dr. Welch's Non-Fermented Wine. This company eventually evolved into the Welch company, which specializes in fruit juices.
Weak Christians should not drink alcohol if they think it violates some moral prohibition, but the source of their error is theological vinegar. Weak Christians are being herded like sheep by pastors who do not understand or respect the doctrine of Christian liberty. The task of the mature Christian is to refrain from publicly assailing the weak Christian's sensibilities. He has another responsibility, however: to wean the weak Christian away from a theology that does not honor the principle of Christian liberty.8
It should not surprise us that the most scholarly published defense of wine as exclusively grape juice, and the Bible as teaching total abstinence from alcohol, was written by a Seventh Day Adventist. It should also not surprise us that his book has been praised by Protestant fundamentalists, who have yet to publish anything equally scholarly on the subject.9 We should not regard these fundamentalist authors as weak Christians. We should regard them as stubbornly, heretically, arrogantly wrong.10 When David Wilkerson writes that "Christians who drink alcoholic beverages of any kind are deceiving themselves,"11 he is deceiving his fundamentalist readers. When Jack Van Impe writes that "Alcohol is never approved of by God in any amount for the obedient Christian,"12 he is being disobedient to God. When he writes that "Everyone who drinks has an alcohol problem,"13 he reveals that he has an exegesis problem.
Strict prohibitionism is a manifestation of legalism. Legalism is a system of man-made rules that are not found in the Bible, which are then substituted for covenantal obedience to God's Bible-revealed laws. Legalism also substitutes the traditions of men for the clear revelation of God in His Bible. The heart of Pharisaism was its legalism. Jesus did not tolerate it. Neither did Paul.

There's an everlasting link between soccer and stereotypical thinking about national identities. This was widely in evidence once again during these last few weeks of the FIFA World Cup in South Africa. Examples range from the South African newspaper Sowetan suggesting that German international player Bastian Schweinsteiger has the "fearsome aura of Adolf Hitler" to the German Der Spiegel being overjoyed about the positive headlines about Germany in the English press. According to some English papers Germany had won the "Sympathy World Cup" and the team had created a new and positive image of the German people.
Now the World Cup reached its concluding climax with the final game between Spain and the Netherlands. This is a good opportunity for reflecting briefly on the strange but strong connection between football and 'the nation', or, in this case, between the world's most popular sports event and nationalism. Especially in Germany (which is the focus of my contribution here), these phenomena have been so closely tied up with each other for such a long time that their relationship can now perhaps best be compared to a long but nevertheless functional marriage. In their teenage years they helped each other to become ingrained in the hearts of the Germans. Later, in 1954, after Germans for years had grappled with their shame over the crimes of the fascists during WW II, Germany's World Cup victory provided their first real opportunity for linking national identity again with positive emotions. In the following decades football was the only societal context that allowed for the safe expression of intense feelings of nationhood. In most other contexts this was still frowned upon.
The importance of football for German nationhood became even clearer in the context of European unification and globalisation, which are processes that seem to have diminished the power of the nation-state. The 2006 World Cup, hosted by Germany, managed what generations of conservative policymakers had failed to achieve: it lifted the ban on patriotism. In a coup de main, it abolished the long existing taboo on displaying patriotic emotions. The notion of "German pride" became disconnected from the far right and entered mainstream discourse. Rather surprisingly, however, this did not lead to much euphoria among German far right politicians. These far right protagonists could not (or would not) identify with a German team that included players who came from immigrant families.
In 2010, too, the German team included such players. In fact, although in earlier times German teams had often included players with a family history in Turkey, Poland, or even Ghana or Brazil, the strategy of inclusion was never as apparent as in the 2010 squad, which included, in the starting eleven against Spain on Wednesday, six players whose parents had not been born in Germany. Some say that Mesut Özil has had a stronger effect on the integration of the Turkish population in Germany than most policy-making strategies so far. However, research about the effects of the composition of the World Cup team on attitudes towards minorities in Germany have led to contradictory conclusions. In 2007 Norbert Kersting, for example, examined representative data from a pre/post-World Cup census and concluded that xenophobia in Germany had indeed been reduced. Wilhelm Heitmeyer and his team, on the other hand, showed that the 2006 World Cup had led to a rise in what he calls "group based enmity". They concluded that even if things had been framed in positive, non-exclusive terms, for many viewers the World Cup still had been about "us" against "the others".
The 2010 World Cup in South Africa has revealed yet another dimension of the Janus-faced character of football. Observers argue that it has intensified economic inequality and racial gaps in society. There are many poor, unemployed South Africans who have hardly had any profit from the World Cup. In fact, they have lost: hospitals have turned into media centres and huge amounts of the state's budget have been spent on stadiums and infrastructure. This is money that hasn't served to educate or feed or nurse anyone in the lower classes of the country.
Yet most people I spoke to during my recent visit in South Africa were euphoric about the World Cup. Yesterday's edition of the Sowetan, which in pre-democracy times was one of the most important anti-apartheid newspapers, summarized the matter as follows: "What a glorious 31 days it has been!… Not even the release of Nelson Mandela and the first democratic elections were as electrifying. Important and epoch-making as both these events were, they were not as unifying as this World Cup seems to have been." We can only hope that the end of the World Cup in South Africa won't be marred by a rise in the number of xenophobic assaults against migrants from other African countries, as some have predicted.
In sum, one could perhaps say that the ambiguity of football is a familiar one: many things in life can be good as well as bad. But in the case of football, when it's good, it's also a lot of fun.

[A] CARLISLE man has been sentenced for downloading indecent images of children which were described by a judge as "repellent".
Alexander Coffin, 28, of Myddleton Street, had a six-month prison term suspended for two years after he admitted two offences. These were the making of 11 category B and 13 category C photographs of children – illegal acts which, Carlisle Crown Court heard, appeared to have been done over two days last year.
Thumbnail images were recovered after police attended Coffin's address and seized a laptop. This was analysed and the images were found to be video clips "which had been watched and deleted".
Judge James Adkin observed that the images were "repellent". However, he considered detailed background information – including pre-sentence and psychiatric reports – about the defendant, and noted Coffin had "struggled with his mental health over the years".
Judge Adkin also heard the probation service was willing to work with the defendant in a bid to reduce the future risk he posed.
Offering Coffin "one chance", the judge also ordered him to complete a sex offender course, and a rehabilitation requirement. Coffin must sign the sex offenders' register and abide by the terms of a sexual harm prevention order – both for seven years.

ZYNQ Processing System
The block diagram in figure 1 below shows the Zynq Processing System. It has many components, most of which need to be configured properly before use.
There are many peripheral controllers embedded into the processing system. The input and output pins of these controllers can be wired through predefined MIO pins, or can be routed to the programmable logic. For example, on the Blackboard, the QSPI flash is mapped to MIO 1-6, UART1 takes MIO 48 and 49, and the rest of MIO pins are connected to other controllers or the GPIO controller. Each controller has individual configurations as well. One example would be setting the baud rate of UART1 to 115200.
Besides peripheral interface controllers, the DDR memory controller needs to be properly configured and mapped to the memory space of ARM processor. Blackboard includes ISSI 46TR16256AL DDR3 memory chip that creates a single bank, 32-bit data width memory with a capacity of 512MiB. You can view the configuration of this DDR chip in the DDR configuration section.
Clock configuration of the PS system is another important aspect of setting up the Zynq system. If you open the Clock Configuration section, you can see the master clock connected to the PS system (at 33.3333Mhz). This clock is used set the frequency of all of the peripheral controllers and clocks provided to the programmable logic. The DDR controller's clock is set to 533.33MHz, the QSPI module's is configured at 200MHz and the first clock going to the PL(FCLK_CLK0) is set at 100MHz.
If you need furter information about the configuration of the Zynq Processing System, please refer to Xilinx's documentation.

For instance, I expect older people to be less familiar with technology, or I expect that very young children can't read, or I expect that the guy trying to get my phone number at the bus stop is not asking because he thinks we have common interests. All of these assumptions can bite you in the butt if you act on them, and sometimes you can learn to avoid communicating potentially offensive assumptions you have about people, but it's pretty common for those preconceived ideas to be revealed, if subtly, through interaction in ways you may not be aware of.
This is one of the reasons why, when I discuss the importance of supporting asexual friends and family members, I stress education. Because one of the default assumptions MANY people have about asexuality is that it is a phase that will pass, and even if someone who believes that is kind enough to avoid saying so to their ace loved one, that belief will often come through unintentionally in their interactions. We can hear in your voice and your choices of words that you expect us to grow out of it or that you don't believe us. It isn't particularly hard to tell when you're being humored.
Here's another example: an interaction between me and a friend. I had discussed a health problem I sometimes experience, and he immediately started asking me weird leading questions about it. It went something like this:
Him: Did you start noticing that happening at any particular time?
Me: No.
Him: I mean, like, did you make any . . . lifestyle changes around any particular time in your life that might be related to this?
Me: No.
Him: Did you ever think maybe it might've started happening . . . around the time that you became a vegetarian?
Oh, I saw where that was going long before he said it.
I've known for a long time that he thinks vegetarianism is unhealthy and that humans generally "need" animal protein to be healthy. He has said to me before that he thinks vegans "look sick" and that he believes our bodies depend on animal nutrients, and also he has said before that he believes vegetarians and vegans tend to be stuck up and obnoxious about their supposed moral superiority. (I don't know if that includes me.)
So, I've been a vegetarian since I turned twenty. That's seventeen years. My doctor's only comment on the situation has been to say that I should take a calcium supplement because in addition to being vegetarian I am lactose intolerant so I don't get much dairy calcium. He has said nothing about vegetarianism causing the other health problem (which, incidentally, is a very common skin infection that I very likely am more subject to because I ride a bicycle in the heat and then stay in clothes I exercised in). But if you have a preconceived notion that vegetarianism is by default unhealthy, you may be more likely to erroneously blame unrelated problems on it (and ask sort of obnoxious leading questions to annoy your friends).
It gets worse when, say, healthcare professionals allow their very human biases to affect their judgment. It's been studied and found many times over that doctors and other healthcare workers sometimes have alarming beliefs about how one's race affects their pain tolerance and whether a woman's description of her symptoms is accurate. Men in our society, by and large, assume women are overreacting or exaggerating, assigning us "emotional" perspectives that predispose us to illogical evaluations of our own experiences. This translates, in practical terms, to their inherent distrust of women, and their conscious or unconscious tendency to downgrade the seriousness of anything they say, including descriptions of their health problems. I saw one man quoted in an article opining that "women" are just far more emotional than is "logically" warranted, and so when his wife is on 8, he assumes the situation is a 5 or a 6. This perspective has also led many healthcare workers to ignore women's medical symptoms and suggest they are simply excitable, worrying for nothing, overreacting, and yeah, probably just suffering from anxiety.
Going into conversations with people carrying preconceived ideas about their situations can sometimes be helpful, of course. This is why it's an adaptive strategy that humans evolved to have, I imagine . . . it is often useful to our survival if we can make predictions based on snap judgments. We may assess a situation as dangerous in an instant based on a snap judgment, and we may be RIGHT, and if we're wrong about its being a threat, we still survive. It's better, evolutionarily, to regard something that isn't a threat as a threat than it is to assume something that IS a threat will not harm you. We're a suspicious species, with speed of decision being very important to continued existence. But sadly this does not help us make more reasoned decisions rooted in empathy, education, or evaluation of evidence.
As an experiment, a person can make a list of five judgments they tend to make quickly. Maybe you can't think of any at the moment, or they're all really obvious things, so take a day or two to catch yourself making quick decisions based on very little information. Why do you pick a certain grocery line? How do you immediately feel about the car in front of you based on their bumper stickers? When you hear an author's name and you know their demographics, what do you expect to see in their book? If you hear someone watches a certain TV show or listens to a certain radio station, what do you believe you know about them? What about if they shop at a certain store, wear certain clothing labels, or go to a certain school? What do you believe you know about someone if they say they're from the Baby Boomer generation, or they're a Millennial? What makes you think better or worse in an instant about a parent based on their treatment of their children in front of you? What judgments do you make if you know someone posts on Reddit, or posts on Tumblr? If someone subscribes to a certain diet, how does that affect your opinion of them?
The big question is whether these evaluations lead you to trust someone. From the beginning, knowingly or not, people you meet are taking action that either solidifies or contradicts your initial assumptions. How many times might a racist's beliefs about people of color have to be proven wrong before the racist modifies their beliefs? How many times might a homophobe need to meet a gay person who isn't stereotypical before they decide the stereotypes are misleading and reevaluate why they believe them? How many times might a sexist man have to be outperformed by a woman before he stops believing women aren't as good at the job? How many times can you make a reasoning mistake you didn't realize you were susceptible to before you realize you're considering information that doesn't apply? And how often is your trust or mistrust dangerous--to you and to them?
You have to acknowledge that most of these assumptions serve a purpose for you. They make you feel superior to someone, or make you think you're good at something, or make you believe you're being safe or logical because you allow these generalizations to affect your decisions. But think about the times someone else's assumptions about you have inconvenienced you, annoyed you, or even endangered you. Did someone give you terrible service in a restaurant because they have a racist belief that people of your ethnic background don't tip? Did someone assume a person with your gender identity is out to victimize them? Did someone decide to give an opportunity to someone else because they erroneously assumed you weren't physically or mentally capable of completing it?
And sometimes it's just ignorance, like someone has decided gluten-free food trends are annoying and unnecessary so they ignore someone's request for a gluten-free meal and end up harming them because they have celiac disease. Or someone has decided a black person going into a store open carrying in an open-carry state is somehow more likely to be out to commit a crime than a white person would be if they were doing the same thing, and they call the police and violate that person's rights. Or someone in medicine decides an overweight person's health issues are all a consequence of being fat and refuses to investigate a very serious health problem, instead prescribing weight loss until the person narrowly survives a medical emergency and finally gets a diagnosis.
It's important to become aware of your preconceived notions so you can evaluate whether they're useful to you, and more importantly, whether they're harmful to someone else. The tendency to jump to conclusions and act on prejudice may have been a useful tool of survival in the past, but that is less true now. The best way to educate yourself on these issues is to listen to the voices of those writing about their own personal experiences--like I am with asexuality activism and feminism--and understand how common certain prejudices are and how they affect marginalized populations. You can learn to be part of the solution if you'll do this, but it starts with recognizing that the preconceptions are happening in the first place.

Carteret County Republican activist Jessica Hult had an eye-opening experience as a delegate to the recent NCGOP convention in Greensboro:
"I've been a delegate to the state convention a number of times. I've been to the national convention. I've NEVER had anyone talk to — or treat me — like this. NEVER. They were bullies, and nobody likes bullies."
The Haymaker caught up with the still-shaken Hult by telephone Wednesday evening. She said her phone has been ringing off the hook with party activists — and a number of attorneys — offering support and assistance.
The episode in question began last Saturday at the Greensboro convention. Hult said she was distributing stacks of THESE FLIERS to individuals who were planning to pass them out to convention-goers as they left the convention hall:
"My first indication that something was up was when I heard someone shouting: 'There she is! There she is!' I looked over to see two guys in suits hurrying over toward me. I didn't recognize the two men until they got close and I saw their name tags."
She said the men were NCGOP vice-chairman Wayne King, and Paul Foley — introduced to Hult as "the party attorney":
"They both appeared to be very upset. Mr. Foley suggested that the fliers I was handing out were not even legal and were likely a violation of campaign finance laws. He wanted to know who I was doing this for, and who was paying for it. I told him these fliers were designed and distributed with the idea of asking questions on behalf of a large portion of delegates here today at the convention."
Hult said King "didn't like" the fliers, and wanted examples from her about how he had meddled in primaries or run "decoy candidates." Hult said King also suggested that the fliers were "slanderous and defamatory":
"Did I wish they were worded a little better? Certainly. The grammar was questionable. But as far as the points the fliers made, I thought they were valid questions that needed to be asked and answered."
Hult said she didn't draw up the fliers:
"I got asked to help pass them out, and I agreed to do it. I am a woman of my word. I do what I promise to do."
She said, at that point, Speaker Tillis and Senator Bob Rucho joined the discussion. (The event was occurring near where most of the Mecklenburg County delegation was seated.) Hult said Rucho questioned her about the fliers in a very quiet, diplomatic tone. She said Tillis took a different route:
"Mr. Tillis was clearly upset. He put his finger in my face and lectured me very sternly about slander and libel. He was the scariest of them all. If the idea was to physically intimidate me, it was working."

Accessible Self Build on a Garden Plot
Lara and Dieter Lessmann have built a strikingly contemporary, accessible home that retains the couple's 'modern decadent goth' aesthetic and suits their lifestyle
When Lara and Dieter Lessmann found themselves faced with a house that no longer suited their needs and without the funds to adapt an existing property in the area into an accessible home, Lara was struck by the idea of self building at the bottom of their garden.
Lara and Dieter found an architect who lived on the road next to theirs and came up with a specific brief. "We needed absolutely everything to have level access and wanted the house to be as spacious and light as possible with no narrow corridors," explains Lara, who is a wheelchair user. She had specific ideas for the interiors and asked her close friend, interior designer Verity Woolf, to help realise her vision of 'modern decadent goth' on a budget.
Project Notes
- Project: Accessible self build
- Location: London
- Plot cost: Already owned
- Build cost: £375,000
- Build time: Oct 2014 – Feb 2016

The kitchen is a gloss acrylic design from Ikea. Due the sloping ceilings, the rear of the wall units were cut and made deeper; matching side panels were custom-made. The 800mm-deep worktops are quartz and the splashback was created using a
'crushed stone' wallpaper covered with Perspex.
Working within the constraints of their small corner plot, they took 7m from their existing garden along with the old garage and a design was formulated for a two bedroom, two bathroom home, set over two floors — one of which would be below ground.
Their architect worked with the shape of the plot and took into account Lara and Dieter's love of contemporary design. A zinc roof defines the look of the white-rendered house, set at various angles. The flat section of roof is offset by two pitched areas, creating high, sloped ceilings throughout the open plan kitchen, dining and living space. "Once the frame of the roof was built, photovoltaic panels were inserted into it," adds Lara.
The entire layout has been kept completely level in order to make life in a wheelchair easier, including the threshold between the living space and the terrace through the sliding doors. The flooring inside and out is timber-effect porcelain. Underfloor heating keeps the house at a comfortable, constant temperature.
The open plan living space is accessed from the front door at ground floor level, along with a guest bathroom and office area. A staircase, lit from above by a lightpipe, leads down to the basement floor.
On this level the opulent master bedroom with equally luxurious en suite can be found, along with Lara's physiotherapy room. Access to the sunken courtyard is though large slimline sliding doors leading from both the bedroom and the physiotherapy room. "The basement doesn't feel like a basement at all," says Lara. "There are large amounts of natural light everywhere."
"This has been the most difficult and yet the most amazing thing Dieter and I have ever done together," says Lara. "For many wheelchair users, the only way to get an accessible home is to self-build. We really are so grateful for the appeal process because the local council were not much help — it's a real social problem for those with mobility issues out there."
Lara can access the basement using a clever compact 'through-floor' wheelchair lift – just the size of Lara's wheelchair – which comes down into the second bedroom/physiotherapy room.
The master bedroom has direct access to the internal courtyard space through sliding doors. The striking recessed panel in the ceiling was designed by Lara — hidden lighting brings the eye-catching feature to life.
In the en suite, the striking acrylic bath has been set on a plinth for easier access. Waterproof panels on the walls protect them from the spray of the ceiling-mounted rainshower.
The glazed ceiling section has been fitted with electroplated glass, bringing in light while maintaining privacy.

Christian churches under attack in West Bank, prompt response demanded of Palestinian Authority
Mon, 20 May 2019 13:19 UTC
Christian leaders in the West Bank have demanded that the Palestinian Authority launch an investigation into two attacks on churches near Ramallah and Bethlehem that took place recently, reports The Jerusalem Post.
On 16 May assailants broke into the Church of God in the village of Aboud, west of Ramallah.
The Holy Land Church organisation said in its statement that perpetrators looted the church, stealing some of its contents, without providing further details.
"We pray in solidarity with this church and for the repentance of the aggressors," the organisation said in its statement.
"We also call on the responsible authorities to lay their hands on the perpetrators and bring them to justice as soon as possible."
The organisation released photo evidence of the attack, showing damaged furniture and smashed windows inside the Church of God.
Pastor Abdallah Khoury called on the PA to take the necessary measures to bring the criminals to court, saying he was in touch with the authorities concerning the break-in and sabotage.
"The attack on the church and the stealing of its contents is very dangerous," he said. "This matter needs to be taken seriously."
Most of Aboud is located in Area C of the West Bank, which is under Israeli military and civilian control.
In response to the incident, Israeli police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld said there was damage caused to a number of vehicles in the village and an investigation has been launched.
Earlier, on 14 May, Christians reported a similar incident occurring at Bethlehem's Saint Charbel Monastery, which is affiliated with the Lebanese Maronite Order.
The Holy Land Council of Bishops condemned what it called the "robbery" of the monastery, stating perpetrators had cut the fence surrounding the monastery and stole expensive equipment and surveillance cameras, in addition to other content.
"We condemn the attack on the monastery and call on the Palestinian authorities, especially their security services, to bring the perpetrators to justice as soon as possible, and take measures to protect the monastery from similar attacks in the future," the council said.
The council added that this was the sixth such incident targeting the monastery over the past few years.
In 2015 a fire caused extensive damage to the monastery, with PA security forces claiming it was caused by an "electrical fault".
However, some Christian activists claimed that the fire was an "arson attack" launched by radical Muslims.
A senior PA security official said that an investigation has been launched into the "robberies" in Aboud and Bethlehem, adding there was nothing as yet to connect the two incidents.
The attacks have led to some Christians to question if the PA security forces were doing enough to protect the West Bank's Christian holy sites.
"We feel we're being deliberately targeted because we're Christians," a Christian woman from Aboud told The Jerusalem Post.
"When you see two attacks, on a church and a monastery, in one week, this makes you wonder whether there's some kind of a scheme against Christians."
Comment: Every time one turns around it looks as though another Christian church has been looted, burned or desecrated in Europe, the Middle East and elsewhere. If these events aren't just random acts, but fit a larger pattern (as they would seem to do), one might ask who or what stands to benefit from such a widespread social phenomenon.

This BA9S bulb is perfect to replace your incandescent turn signal indicator bulb, or any other instruments that require a BA9S bulb, like gauge back lights and high beam indicators. It puts out a warm white light that easily shines through any color lens.
Voltage: 12V
Note: Under normal use, only one of the two LEDs will illuminate at a time, that is because they are mounted with opposite polarities, meaning one LED will shine weather current is passed forward or backwards through the bulb. It is built like this to work with the turn signal indicator wiring found on most bikes.
Made in USA

Netball Festival in La Manga
From 22 - 26 October 2018, 19 students, along with Miss McLean and Miss Brough, embarked on a netball development tour to the Spanish Netball Festival in La Manga.
From 22 - 26 October 2018, 19 students, along with Miss McLean and Miss Brough, embarked on a netball development tour to the Spanish Netball Festival in La Manga. After a dramatic start with an administrative error (cue Miss Brough running around the airport to get her boarding pass sorted) we arrived in Spain and at our hotel around lunch time. We spent the day lunching, swimming in the pool, taking a stroll on the beach and finished off with a welcome presentation from the tour organisers.
On day 2, the girls received a defensive masterclass from ex-England coach Maggie Jackson. The main focus was on developing the girls' ability to dictate where the opposition could go on the court, and forcing them into difficult spaces in order to prevent them from bringing the ball down to the goal. In the afternoon, we did fitness training on the beach and the girls were worked hard! The girls then competed in teams to build the best sand sculpture, and the fish built by Scarlett, Verity, Ellie H, Charlotte and Leah B was declared the winner by the coaches. Although tired from the fitness training, the girls then played 1 hour of beach netball, where the coach really got them to think about the quality of their passing in a game and how overhead passes are too easy for the opposition to intercept. In the evening after dinner, the girls performed their rendition of Party in the USA at the karaoke, and the star of the show was undoubtedly Amy M!
On the final day of training, the girls had a shooting masterclass in the morning followed by an attacking workshop outdoors. This was the hottest day so it was a really tough session but the girls persevered and this was in many ways the most valuable session of the tour. The coach helped them work on successful centre pass tactics, and how to play off of one another to create space and get the ball to the goal. In the evening, we (some more than others!) enjoyed a Zumba dance lesson with the other schools also on the tour.
Day 4 was tournament day! We had two teams – Notley Red and Notley Black. Each team had 3 group round games followed by a play off stage. The Notley Reds team consisted of Year 8s, 9s and a few Year 10s. Their first game was against a strong opposition and they lost 17-2, however the very young team were competing in an u16 age category so we expected it to be tough. In their second game the work they had done in the training days paid off when they secured a 6-3 win! In their final game they faced another difficult opposition and lost 16-1 but their previous win secured them 3rd place in the group, so they played the team that finished 3rd in the other group in the play offs, Harrogate Ladies. Unfortunately, we were unable to secure the win but the girls did not give up, fought to the very end and as a team who had never played together before they did themselves and the school proud. We finished 6th overall. Among the most valuable players (MVPs) for their games, as decided by us teachers, were Verity, Charlotte, Amy Fenton and Leah B.
The Notley Black team comprised of mostly Year 10s and the Year 11s. They were undefeated in the group stages with 3 comfortable wins of 12-2, 12-2 and 12-4. This was the best these girls have ever played together and we could really see how valuable the training sessions had been, particularly in getting the girls to stop using loopy overhead passes! MVPs for the group stage games were Amy Forster, Ella, Leah R, Grace and Paige. Finishing top of their group, the girls then played the runners up of the other group, Wycombe Abbey, in the first of two semi-finals. This game was a nail biter and went to extra time. It was so close and could have gone either way, but we ended up losing 7-6. Although the girls were devastated, the team played exceptionally well and taking forward what they learned from the week we are confident they can only improve. The MVP for the semi-final was Amy Forster.
On the final evening, we attended the official awards ceremony, where Leah R picked up Coaches Player awarded by ex-England player Lindsay Keable. After the Netball's Got Talent show, we went upstairs and had an awards ceremony of our own. Four awards were given for each team; Most Improved, MVP, Players Player and a Resilience award. For the Notley Reds team, Most Improved was Charlotte, MVP was Scarlett, Players Player was Verity and the Resilience award was given to Amy Fenton. For the Notley Blacks team, Most Improved was Paige, MVP was Amy Forster, Players Player was Ella and the Resilience award was given to Amy M. This was a great way to finish off the trip, celebrating the successes of the girls and the teams. Thanks to the girls for making the trip so enjoyable and to Miss Brough for her support.

Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill had an eight-hour meeting with NFL Special Counsel for Investigations Lisa Friel yesterday, and while the league reportedly has no timetable for the conclusion of its investigation, Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk suggests a decision should be coming sooner rather than later. In defending the delayed interview of former Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt, the league said that it waits to interview the player until the rest of its investigation has concluded, so since Hill has now been interviewed, it's fair to assume that the process is drawing to a close. But NFL disciplinary matters never seem to go smoothly, and the league could say that Hill's conversation with Hill requires follow-up work, so it may be awhile before Hill hears his fate.
Now for more from the league's west divisions:
- Cardinals tight end Caleb Wilson, whom the club selected in the seventh round of this year's draft, actually committed to play quarterback at Old Dominion. But he knew that his path to a pro career would not be as a QB, so he walked on as a tight end at USC and eventually transferred to UCLA. As a late-round draft choice, he needs to impress right away, and Kyle Odegard of the team's official website says that Wilson is doing just that. New HC Kliff Kingsbury's spread offense emphasizes a TE's receiving ability, and Kingsbury has praised Wilson's route-running and hands. Wilson may be the fourth tight end on the depth chart right now, but it's a fairly thin group, so he should have a chance to stick.
- Vinny Bonsignore and Rich Hammond of The Athletic discussed which of the Rams' rookies would have the most impact on the team's fortunes this year, and both agree that third-round RB Darrell Henderson is likely to be that guy. Henderson, a running back from Memphis, was a collegiate stud in 2018, and while LA has been adamant that its selection of Henderson has nothing to do with Todd Gurley 's balky knee, it's not difficult to envision Henderson being a key component of the Rams' offense in 2019.
- Vic Tafur of The Athletic examines former Spring League standout Paul Butler's chocolate milk-fueled journey to the thick of the Raiders' TE depth chart, and though Butler still faces something of an uphill battle to make the club, he has a real shot. He performed well in OTAs and minicamp, and Oakland clearly thinks highly of him, as they promoted him from the practice squad late last year to prevent the Lions from poaching him. There are six TEs battling for four roster spots, but Butler's blend of size and receiving ability give him a chance to make the 53-man roster.
- Today, we added two more entries to our Extension Candidate series: Rams CB Marcus Peters (link) and Seahawks LB Bobby Wagner (link).

Havre Church Sponsors Bible Prophecy Seminar
Tim Rumsey of Pathway to Paradise Ministries held a three-week Bible prophecy seminar at the Havre Church during October. Members had prepared by handing out Bible study guides written by Ty Gibson to interested folks in the community. Young people canvassed Havre during the summer as well. Handbills were mailed to Havre and surrounding zip codes, and radio and newspaper advertising was prepared by Norman Johnson, pastor.
Rumsey showed how the chiastic Hebrew literary device places Christ at the center of Scripture and kept Christ at the center of each presentation. Attendies were reminded of the prophecies that pointed to Christ's life, suffering and death. Rumsey showed how, with the exception of the second death that He suffered, we can expect that what happened to the Head (Eph. 5:23) will also happen to the body (1 Cor. 12).
The Havre membership was strengthened, enlightened and encouraged by the messages. A number of nonmembers attended, and several are studying in preparation for baptism. As we review the prophecies of Scripture, it is so exciting to note current events and realize how soon Christ will return.
