The Sherlockian

Uncategorized 0

I should probably have mentioned this before its release, but the paperback version of the book came out two weeks ago. Though by not mentioning it until now I get to really rival my own record for worst self-promotion ever, which Im pretty proud of
Anyway, despite my total lack of promotional acumen, a bunch of people seem to have bought it anyway! Im very proud to be able to say that almost one year to the day after its initial release, The Sherlockian is back on the best seller list.

TSX DAILY: Germany draws 178,000 for 10 national champs combined in Berlin, while U.S. steamroller continues at the Pan American Games

= TSX DAILY ~ 7 August 2019 =

| 1. |  LANE ONE: Did you see where Germany drew 178,000 for ten national championships on one weekend in Berlin?

The city of Berlin, working in coordination with the national governing bodies in 10 sports and the two national over-the-air broadcasters, created Die Finals Berlin 2019 with events over six days, but primarily on last Saturday and Sunday (3-4 August).

Hoping for 70,000 attendees, the combined program drew an astonishing 178,000 spectators who paid to see athletics, boxing, track cycling, gymnastics and swimming. Hundreds of thousands more saw archery, canoeing, modern pentathlon, mountain biking and triathlon events for free.

At the Olympiastadion, the German track & field championships drew 60,550 for two days, including a record crowd of 34,350 for Sunday’s events.

Could this be done in the U.S.? The program in Berlin was promoted for a full year, was on national television (and streaming) live and had each of the 10 national federations running their own programs that were marketed under a common umbrella.

The U.S. Olympic Committee tried analogous events in the past and failed. But not multiple national championships and in fact, the USOPC would not need to be involved at all. The U.S. National Governing Bodies could do this on their own.

Will they? Will a U.S. city step up? Can the Olympic Movement in the U.S. afford to miss an opportunity like this?

| 2. | PAN AMERICAN GAMES: Swimming and track take over and U.S. now at 62 golds and 157 total medals

The first day of swimming and first full day of track & field headlined Tuesday’s events at the 2019 Pan American Games in Lima (PER). In comparison to some spotty attendance at some of the first-week events, the stands were mostly full at the National Sports Village Aquatics Center and Athletics Stadium.

The U.S. stood out in the swimming, of course, despite the Pan Ams being assigned essentially the “third team” for 2019 by USA Swimming, behind the FINA World Championships in Gwangju (KOR) and the World University Games in Naples (ITA). Nevertheless, the Americans claimed three wins on Tuesday:

Andrew Abruzzo, 19, won the 400 m Free in 3:48.41, more than a second ahead of Brazil’s Fernando Scheffer (3:49.60).

Annie Lazor (pictured below), who stands no. 3 on the world list for 2019 (1:06.03) got to the touch first in the 100 m Breaststroke in 1:06.94, ahead of Julia Sebastian (ARG: 1:07.09). It’s the sixth straight time the U.S. women have won this event in the Pan American Games.

● The women’s 4×100 m Free relay survived a modest lead-off leg from Lia Neal (55.67), but Claire Rasmus (54.51) got close to the lead and veteran Kendyl Stewart (55.05) took the lead for good. Anchor Margo Geer sprinted to a half-body length lead at the final turn and then held on for a 54.36 leg and a win in 3:39.59, with Brazil second (3:40.39). The U.S. women have won this event now 16 of the 18 times it has been held.

Brazil’s Joao de Deus won the men’s 200 m Butterfly for the third Pan American Games in a row, building a big lead and then holding off American Sam Pomajevich, 1:55.86-1:57.35.

The Brazilians were also the heavy favorite in the men’s 4×100 m Free relay and their quartet of Breno Correia, Marcel Chierighini, Bruno Fratus and Pedro Spajari won for the sixth straight Pan Am Games in 3:12.61, well ahead of the U.S. (3:14.94). One important note for American fans was the 47.70 anchor by the amazing Nathan Adrian, who had the second-fastest split in the entire race as he continues his recovery from testicular cancer.

The first full day of track & field was held in blustery conditions on Tuesday, with a crackerjack competition in the women’s discus. World leader Yaime Perez of Cuba was the favorite, but trailed Brazil’s Andressa Oliveira de Morais all through the event. The Brazilian set a national record of 65.98 (216-6) on her second throw and led right down to the final two throws.

Perez, standing second at 64.65 m (212-1), showed almost no emotion throughout the event and looked positively grim coming into the ring in the sixth round. But she turned tightly in the circle and sailed the disc well beyond the last measuring line and it bounced at 66.58 (218-5) to give her the lead … and Perez sort of grimaced.

But when Oliveira de Morais fouled on her throw, Perez actually smiled and moved from up silver in 2015 to the top of the podium in 2019. It the fourth straight PAG gold for Cuba in the women’s discus.

The men’s disc had a lot less drama, as world no. 2 Fedrick Dacres of Jamaica won easily, throwing 67.68 m (222-0), ahead of teammate Traves Smikle (65.02 m/213-4) and Reggie Jagers of the U.S. (64.48 m/211-6). It was Dacres’s second straight Pan Am Games gold in the event.

With temperatures in the high 50s (F), times were slow in the heats of the men’s 100 m. Brazil’s Rodrigo Pereira do Nascimento led all qualifiers at 10.27, with American Mike Rodgers at 10.29. Jamaica’s Olympic Champion from 2016, Elaine Thompson, ran 11.36 for the fastest time of the day.

There was a lot more action all across the Games, including:

Fencing: Family ties were all over the fencing competition, as American Gerek Meinhardt led a 1-3 finish (with Race Imboden) in the men’s Foil competition. Meinhardt is the fiancé of American Lee Keifer (both pictured above), who won the Foil title on Monday.

Further, two of the three fencing Limardo Gascon brothers from Venezuela faced off in the final of the men’s Epee, with 2012 Olympic Champion Ruben – now 34 – defeating younger brother Jesus (23) in 40 minutes by 15-8. It was Ruben’s third Pan American Games gold medal after titles in 2007 and 2015.

The U.S. collected a third fencing gold in the women’s Sabre, thanks to Eliza Stone.

● In Table Tennis, the top hope for the U.S. men in Tokyo is 19-year-old Kanak Jha and he started his week in Lima with a bronze medal with Yue Wu (29) in the Mixed Doubles, his first medal in a major Games. Wu came back to team with Lily Zhang to win the silver in women’s Doubles.

After 11 full competition days in Peru, the U.S. continues its march at the top of the medal table, with 157 medals (62-51-44), ahead of Canada (97: 24-40-33) and Brazil (88: 27-22-39). That’s with just 215 of the 419 events completed and a rush of finals in the coming days.

For comparison, in 2015 in Toronto (CAN), the U.S. led the medal table with a total of 265 (103-82-80), ahead of Canada (219) and Brazil (141). You can check on all of the results from Lima here.

| 3. | CYCLING: Fourth stage of the Tour de Pologne held as a procession in honor of Bjorg Lambrecht

The unimaginable tragedy of the death of 22-year-old Bjorg Lambrecht of Belgium (and the Lotto-Soudal Team) during the third stage of the Tour de Pologne on Monday was respected by the race and the riders on Tuesday as the course was covered by the riders in memoriam, with no results.

The planned route was shortened from 173.3 km to 133.7 km and the Lotto-Soudal team rode in front of the peloton to the 48 km point, which is where Lambrecht crashed on Monday. A moment of silence was held and then the teams took turns at the front of the race at a pre-set pace, ending with the Lotto-Soudal team crossing the finish line first.

Cycling World reported that “A black banner had been put up in place of a finish line, with Lambrecht’s name and his race number 143 in white letters.”

The Tour will return to racing tomorrow for Stage 5, a 153.8 km ride over a hilly course from Wieliczka to Bielsko-Biala, with Germany’s Pascal Ackermann in the lead over Fernando Gaviria (COL: +0:12). The event continues through Friday; look for results here.

| 4. | SWIMMING Preview: FINA World Cup moves to China, but Hosszu and Simonova enter 14 events again!

The second of seven legs in the FINA Swimming World Cup is in Jinan (CHN) this week, with a weaker field that attended the opener in Tokyo. But once again, the focus will be on series leaders Vladimir Morozov (RUS) and Katinka Hosszu (HUN).

Both won three events in Tokyo and will try to extend their advantages in China in the second of the three meets in the first World Cup “cluster.” Their motivation? The cluster winners each receive a bonus of $50,000!

Hosszu entered 14 events in Tokyo, but scratched down most of her schedule. However, Russian Vitalina Simonova, whose primary claim to fame is a 2013 European silver medal in the 200m Breast, entered 14 events and swam in them all. The only made the final in one event – the 200 m Breast – where she finished seventh, but it was an impressive feat. Our preview is here.

| 5. | VOLLEYBALL Preview: Men’s Olympic qualifying tournaments will award six spots this weekend

Like the women’s events last week, six tournaments of four teams each will be held around the world, with the winners each awarded a place in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Volleyball field.

Japan is already in, of course, as the host country. The favorites in this week’s events include Brazil (no. 1 in the world rankings), the U.S. (2), Italy (3), Poland (4), Russia (5) and Canada (6).

The U.S. will play in Rotterdam (NED) against Belgium, the Netherlands and South Korea. Our preview is here.

| 6. | ATHLETICS: AIU reports out-of-competition drug testing up almost 30% in 2018

The IAAF-funded, but fully independent Athletics Integrity Unit proudly posted its testing collection statistics on the home page of its Web site, but they actually have a lot more to crow about.

The numbers showed 8,489 total tests carried out in 2018, but the comparisons to 2017 make the numbers much more meaningful:

Total samples collected:
● 7,435 in 2017
● 8,489 in 2018, +14.2%

Samples collected out-of-competition:
● 4,626 in 2017
● 6,007 in 2018, +29.9%

Samples collected in-competition:
● 2,809 in 2017
● 2,482 in 2018, -11.6%

Many doping-control activists have called in-competition tests almost worthless, since athletes know they will be tested. The significant increase in the number of out-of-competition tests is a good sign for better follow-up and better intelligence from the AIU. They should promote those rises in out-of-competition tests and total tests rather than just posting the 2018 numbers alone.

Samsung today unveiled the Galaxy Grand 2, a device that is said to offer an optimal large-screen experience on a portable, compact smartphone. This evolution of the Galaxy Grand series brings meaningful upgrades to its predecessor including an improved HD viewing experience, enhanced performance, and many other intuitive features. Running Android 4.3, the Galaxy Grand 2 is powered by a quad-core CPU at 1.2 GHz. It features GSM/GPRS/EDGE as well as UMTS/HSPA+; right next to WiFi a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0. It brings an incredible smartphone viewing experience with a 5.25" screen with 720p HD and a 8 megapixel autofocus main camera as well as a front facing 1.9 megapixel HD camera.

The 2,600 mAh battery is said to bring users up to 10 hours of playback and 17 hours of calls. On top of this, the Galaxy Grand 2 features dual-SIM capabilities. All this comes in a size of 146.8 x 75.3 x 8.9 mm and a weight of 163g.

Last but not least, the Galaxy Grand 2 wouldn't be a Samsung Galaxy device if it wouldn't feature Story Album, S Translator, S Travel, Sound & Shot, Samsung Hub, Group Play and Samsung Link.

In its press release Samsung said that the Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 will be offered in white, black and pink and that it will be available in selective regions. As always, there was neither a release date nor a price given.

Age of a Blogger

I’ve been blogging for five months. Actually it’s far before that. But I did it on large scale since five months. At present I’m 24. So I’m not that old. A bit young blood (These lines are written just for my personal satisfaction that I’m not old). So what’s the perfect age for blogging?? Do you have a certain age limit in your mind??

There are millions of bloggers around the world and I read many blogs. I really don’t know their ages. What I look and read is the thing they write. The entries they post. If it’s interesting I comment and give a visit again. That’s how my blogging goes. But in spite of these things I had an age limit in my mind. Like 60-70 years. No one can blog over that. But I was wrong.

On 12th July 2008 the oldest blogger died. Her name was Olive Riley. You can read about the news here and here. And do you know what was her age?? She was 108 years old. Pretty young. This gives clear idea that the bloggers and blogging does not have age limit. It is you who limit yourself. If you really wanted to blog then you would have asked for help. Zillions of sites and peoples ready to help you.

The blogger died is an inspiration for all. At least I’m inspired. I will now be posting with more passion. You can visit her blog at

3 steps to potty training success

Morning friends! I'm suffering from a major Halloween hangover, mixed with a nasty cold so today I'm sharing a guest post I did a little while back on Sparkles and Lattes

Hopefully tomorrow I'll be back with a full Halloween recap of class parties and trick or treating!

Today I'm sharing 3 steps to potty training. I've successfully potty trained 2 out of my 3 kids and thought this was a great topic to guest post about since I'm about to start training my 3rd.

1. Make sure they are ready.

How do you know? With my kids, I started noticing they were telling me every time they went pee and poo in their diaper.  That made me realize they understood what was happening and that they could probably start going on the potty.  Also, if my kids got excited when I would talk about going on the potty, I knew it was a good time. If they didn't get excited, I would back off.  Once I had both things (telling me when they are going in their diaper + getting excited about the potty) I knew it was time to start.

2. Go big or go home

When it was time to potty train my first two, I took the approach of just diving in.  I did not use training pants or diapers some of the time, it was straight to underwear. (well except for night time, that took a little while longer) We went to the store and I had each kid pick out their favorite pair.  I chose to start potty training both kids on a Thursday and knew that the upcoming weekend would be spent at home, just training. I gated off our downstairs family room and pretty much confined them to our first floor which has our living room turned playroom and our kitchen (bonus is these rooms are hardwood) I would ask my kids several times an hour, "do you have to go to the bathroom? do you have to go pee?" If it would be a while in between going, I would sit them on the potty but only for a couple of minutes.  I didn't want them sitting on it for so long that they just happened to go and then might not be able to decipher the difference of actually having to go vs just being on the potty and going. I would repeat this several times a day.

3. Be their biggest cheerleader

If people could hear me cheering my kids on when they would go potty, they would probably mistake my excitement for winning the lottery. That's how much emotion I put into praising them.  My kids loved this so much.  I would be jumping up and down screaming "You did it! I knew you could! I'm so proud of you!! Yayyyy!!" and my kids would flash me the biggest smile.  I honestly think making such a huge deal when they went played a big role in their potty training success.

And there you have it, my 3 simple steps to potty training.  Of course this may not work for everyone but it could work for some. And remember, there will be accidents, maybe lots of them, but try not to blame your child (I know that can be hard when you're cleaning up pee or even poop for the upteenth time, but try) Most of all, Good Luck!

*linking up with Our Pretty Little Girls

  1. Solid advice friend. It's really not that complicated if you follow all of these tips.

  2. Great advice!! Alyx isn't potty trained yet. I had planned to start her by now, However...with our upcoming trip to Disney and the unbelievably long car ride there I have chosen to wait until we get back. I could just imagine being in the car and her asking every 30 mins to pee. haha =)

  3. Great advice! We're still struggling with this with Liam. Want to come train him?!? Haha!

  4. Great tips! We are having a little bit of a hard time with our son who knows when he's going and will ask us to change him after but he really doesn't have an interest in going on the potty. We aren't forcing him and might try again in a few weeks. Beautifully Candid

  5. Amen to all of these tips. We're working to potty train Olivia now and it's going better than it did with Jacob, but still not super great. I can't wait to hear about your Halloween! And I feel you on the hangover!

  6. GREAT tips!! It's a long, long road but I had to commit as well! I did the three day method and it was so stressful but effective.

  7. Great tips! We got so incredibly lucky with Mason because he basically potty trained himself in a matter of 2-3 days. It makes me scared if we have a 2nd because what are the chances? That one will probably be in diapers until he/she is 5. Kidding...but really! ha

  8. I love this post and thank you for sharing it on my blog!

  9. How old were they? Andi is 21 months and she has gone in the potty twice so now its just up to us to stay on top of it! I've got to do better! haha

I'm wet...but I'm posting!

I took the kids to the Free Summer Movie program this morning with two of their friends. Coming back, I stopped by the library to return some books but they didn't open until noon. I was hungry, so I dropped the friends off and come home to fix the three of us lunch.

After lunch, I went to the library to return the books and movies we got last week. We have two big bags full of a new batch of books and movies. Then we went to Kroger.

I should have stayed home.

By the time we got to the store, it was pouring. By the time I walked out of the store with two items and two kids (no more, no less), the sky had opened up and it was a solid sheet of water.

I got wet.

I'm still wet.

And it is because I'm wet that I write this blog entry off line. (I live in small town American where, apparently, when it rains, all forms of life (both domestic and electronic) shut down.)

I promised to blog regularly and I'm going to keep to my word. I have decided that to help me do this, I'm going to have Themed Ramblings days. I've seen other bloggers do this and seems like it works out quite well.

Here is my schedule:

  • Monday -- Weekend Hijinx (around this house, you know there will be tons to tell)

  • Tuesday & Thursday -- Movie Musings (everything from rentals to at-the-movies to oldies-but-goodies)

  • Wednesday -- House Talk (menus, schedules, home improvements - everything house)

  • Thursday -- Book Banter (I'll share books I've read or books I'm reading)

  • Friday -- TGIF: Week Round Up

  • Saturday -- Up in the Air (and probably some goofy sounding stuff, too)

  • Sunday -- Spiritual Reflections

I'll see how it goes and I might mix it up a bit...but I think having a theme will help me keep an ever watchful eye on all that is my life and share about it in a way that hopefully doesn't make you click away or put you to sleep (of course, if you're an insomniac, you might want me to put you to sleep -- in which case, just ask. I'll be more than happy to oblige)

I mentioned that I took the kids and their friends to the movies this morning. The reason why the summer movies are free is because...well, they're reruns. But we don't' get out much, so sometimes, they're new to us.

Today was Evan Almighty. Totally not new to us but a definite favorite in this household.

For anyone who doesn't know (where have you been...under a rock?), Evan Almighty is about a Senator who wants to change the world. Little does he know that in order to do it, God wants him to build an ark.

It's a very cute movie and one I'd pretty much recommend to the over 7 crowd. The humor isn't too crude and the only 'OMGosh Factor' is when Evan says he's going to be pissed if it doesn't rain and when the youngest boy talks about an animal's penis.

Wanda Sykes plays Evan's Executive Assistant and she is hillarious. She brings her brand of humor to movie (loads of impromptu stuff, I assume) in a clean, family-friendly manner.

If you haven't see it, rent it. You'll be glad you did.

On Tuesday, just the kids and I went to see The Water Horse. This was a new-to-us movie. I sat beside a child who had seen it before and was always giving away the surprises (not that they weren't too hard to figure out anyway).

The story takes place in Scotland where a young boy visits a tide pool and finds a mysterious egg. With the help of the grounds keeper, he learns the meaning of friendship and of letting go.

I don't remember any bad words in the movie at all. Of course, I don't think there would be -- it was put out by Walden Media (the same ones who brought us Charlotte's Web and Bridge to Terrabithia). Shows how much I know. According to The Dove Foundation (not the soap people), there are quite a few words in the movie that you might find objectionable. So please, use your best judgment on this. What's okay in my eyes might not be for your's.

My six year old got a little antsy but my ten year old stayed enraptured the whole time.

There were slow points to it, so much in fact that I was surprised to learn that it was only an hour and a half long. But all in all, it was a good movie.

Again, if you haven't seen it, do yourself the favor and rent it. (Check your local library -- you can 'rent' it for free!)

  1. I like your idea of themed days to blogging, I may have to try that as frequently I'm at at a loss as to what to blog about.

    I wish that our library had more current movies to borrow but I guess too many of us here buy them and hoard them away :D Thanks for the reviews, my daughter has been wanting to get Waterhorse since she saw part of it at WM.

Thank you for taking the time to comment. I know how precious your time is and I appreciate you spending a few seconds with me.

The Truth - Vampire Formula #2

The 2nd book in the series is still onoging. I have decided to focus on it above all other ideas and put in extra time to focus on the quality of story I want to achieve.

The second book will really ring the changes in V's (Jonathan Harper) and Thorn's relationship.

The vampire universe will expand. Many of the hinted at questions and mysteries will begin to unravel in this book.

I wanted the first book, "The Birth of Vengeance" to set the scene and focus on the journey of Jonathan to Vengeance.
The second book focuses him living with his decisions and his search for the truth.

I am aiming for release at the end of the year, 2013. If you want any advance notice you can drop me an email.

In the meantime I have a question for you. What would you do if you became a vampire?
Would you run and hide, or embrace it and enjoy the power?

Want the chance to win a copy of "Truth of Vengeance:Vampire Formula #2"
Then contact me
I will be giving away copies as part of the book launch.
Plus sample chapters will be available and a cover reveal.

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

10.1 Application Information

DRV880x device is used in medium voltage brushed DC motor control applications.

10.2 Typical Application

10.2.1 Design Requirements

For this design example, use the parameters listed in Table 2 as the input parameters.

Table 2. Design Parameters

Motor Voltage VBB 24 V
Motor RMS Current IRMS 0.8 A
Motor Startup Current ISTART 2 A
Motor Current Trip Point ITRIP 2.5 A

10.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure Motor Voltage

The motor voltage to use will depend on the ratings of the motor selected and the desired RPM. A higher voltage spins a brushed DC motor faster with the same PWM duty cycle applied to the power FETs. A higher voltage also increases the rate of current change through the inductive motor windings. Power Dissipation

The power dissipation of the DRV880x is a function of the RMS motor current and the each output’s FET resistance (RDS(ON)).

Equation 2. Power ≈ IRMS2 x (High-Side RDS(ON) + Low-Side RDS(ON))

For this example, the ambient temperature is 35°C, and the junction temperature reaches 65°C. At 65°C, the sum of RDS(ON) is about 1Ω. With an example motor current of 0.8A, the dissipated power in the form of heat will be 0.8 A2x 1 Ω = 0.64 W.

The temperature that the DRV880x reaches will depend on the thermal resistance to the air and PCB. It is important to solder the device PowerPAD to the PCB ground plane, with vias to the top and bottom board layers, to dissipate heat into the PCB and reduce the device temperature. In the example used here, the DRV880x had an effective thermal resistance RθJA of 47°C/W, and:

Equation 3. TJ = TA + (PD x RθJA) = 35°C + (0.64 W x 47°C/W) = 65°C Motor Current Trip Point

When the voltage on pin SENSE exceeds VTRIP (0.5 V), overcurrent is detected. The RSENSE resistor should be sized to set the desired ITRIP level.

Equation 4. RSENSE = 0.5 V / ITRIP

To set ITRIP to 2.5 A, RSENSE = 0.5 V / 2.5 A = 0.2 Ω.

To prevent false trips, ITRIP must be higher than regular operating current. Motor current during startup is typically much higher than steady-state spinning, because the initial load torque is higher, and the absence of back-EMF causes a higher voltage and extra current across the motor windings.

It can be beneficial to limit startup current by using series inductors on the DRV880x output, as that allows ITRIP to be lower, and it may decrease the system’s required bulk capacitance. Startup current can also be limited by ramping the forward drive duty cycle. Sense Resistor Selection

For optimal performance, it is important for the sense resistor to be:

  • Surface-mount
  • Low inductance
  • Rated for high enough power
  • Placed closely to the motor driver Drive Current

This current path is through the high-side sourcing DMOS driver, motor winding, and low-side sinking DMOS driver. Power dissipation I2R loses in one source and one sink DMOS driver, as shown in Equation 5.

Team Administrator Expectations

Team Administrators (TA's) are a vital point of connection between TFA Staff and the parents of our players. In addition to maintaining and communicating the team's/club's pulse to TFA Staff members, TA's will be asked to assist in the following:

• Forward information as requested by the Registrar on to teams (i.e. hotel and tournament information etc.).
• Communicate with the opposition in the week prior to games to verify game date/time, field location and uniform colors. Please use your best judgement and change kits if necessary (i.e. wear home uniform for away games if colors conflict). This information should be included in communications to your team.

• Carry all paperwork as provided by the Registrar to every TFA event and provide it when needed. Note: Player cards are not to be given to any player or parent unless authorized by a TFA Staff member.
• Provide team supervision until coach arrives at game. You may need to inform players that it is time to begin warm-up (30 minutes prior to game time) however, you will not need to provide instruction as players are instructed what is required for warm-up.
• Inform the coach of players arriving late to games or of any misbehavior during warm-ups.
• Carry ice and bags for any minor injury.
• Retrieve player cards and any necessary paperwork from the game referee immediately following all games.
• Complete and process NWOYSL/OYSAN/MRL game reports as required.
• Collect parent signatures on Liability Waivers if required by tournaments.
• In the case of a thunder/lightning storm and the coach is not present, please lead the players and parents off the field to shelter. Do not rely on the officials!
• Direct parents and players to inform the Head Coach if they will be missing any practices or games. TA's are not responsible for tracking attendance.

• We ask that all TA's refrain from communicating personal opinions as TFA philosophy.
• If at any time, you are unsure of how to respond to questions/concerns, please refer to the TFA Decision Tree, your Head Coach or the Registrar.
• For any non-sanctioned TFA events (3v3, 4v4, etc.), we strongly encourage all players on your primary team be invited to participate. Please send an email with this invitation and note positions will be offered on a first-come, first-serve basis and it is a non-TFA event.

Reverse engineer the 360Eyes Pro (IPC365) wireless CCTV camera

0.00 avg. rating (0% score) - 0 votes

Available on AliExpress, the 360Eyes Pro (also known as IPC365, from the default network host name of this camera) is a cheap wireless CCTV camera supporting night vision and RTSP. I bought mine for around 18 USD, shipping included:

Despite looking very similar to the V380 Pro which has 10 IR LEDs, this camera has only two. Nevertheless, night vision is still satisfactory. Configuration is also done via a mobile app, with the camera serving an open adhoc wireless network during the initial phase. Unlike the V380 Pro which requires copying a file to the SD card, RTSP on the ICP365 can be easily enabled from the mobile app, and the default RTSP URL is

As with most cheap security cameras, it would be wise to configure the router to prevent the camera from accessing the Internet. For the IPC365 camera, this would also prevent the live footage from being viewed via the mobile app, which attempts to retrieve the footage from their cloud server, instead of from the camera directly. This does not bother me as I always view the live footage via RTSP and only use the mobile app for initial configuration. Allowing any cameras to upload footage to some unknown server is a serious security risk and should be avoided at all costs. Interestingly, there is a CR2032 battery on the camera board so the system time is always preserved as long as the battery is good regardless of whether the NTP server is accessible. The battery is highlighted in red in the photo below:

There is a serious issue with the RTSP implementation on this camera caused by a typo before the ssrc parameter during the RTP setup phase. The following is the data sent by the camera:

Transport: RTP/AVP;unicast;client_port=8000-8001;server_port=9000-9001,ssrc=1234

Notice the comma before ssrc which should have been a semicolon. The correct data should have been:

Transport: RTP/AVP;unicast;client_port=8000-8001;server_port=9000-9001;ssrc=1234

The above typo prevents the camera from being used in iSpy or FFmpeg but HappyTime RTSP client has no issues. VLC has no issues playing back the video, but does not split the recorded files properly when used on the iPC365’s RTSP stream. This issue prevented me from using my Raspberry Pi with FFmpeg to remotely capture the camera video footage, and I decided to spend some time finding a solution.

My specific unit uses the Ingenic MIPS T10 camera board that runs on a W25Q64FV 8MB flash chipset and has a specific model number of EC79A-S12 printed at the back. The board has unmarked (but easy to identify) RX/TX/GND pins for a 115200bps serial port connection. After a few minutes of soldering, I was quickly able to connect the board to my PC and access the u-boot menu via Putty. Although there is no firmware dump option in the menu, the objective can be achieved by using sf read and md commands that dump the memory contents as hex and by writing codes to parse the hex dump and write the content back to a binary file. The whole process took around three hours and I was able to retrieve the original firmware as a binary file!

The exact firmware size is 8,388,608 bytes (8MB), divided into 8 partitions, listed in the order they appear in the flash memory dump:

  1. Boot partition (524,288 bytes)
  2. Kernel partition (1,638,400 bytes)
  3. Root partition (2,883,584 bytes)
  4. User partition (1,572,864 bytes)
  5. Web partition (851,968 bytes)
  6. MTD partition (917, 504 bytes)

The Root, User and Web partitions use SquashFS filesystem and can be extracted with unsquashfs. The embedded web and RTSP server is run from the bin/Alloca file on the User partition. The bug can be fixed by searching for ,ssrc in that file and replacing suitable occurrences with ;ssrc like below:

On my unit, telnet is disabled but can be enabled by editing /etc/init.d/rcS on the root partition and uncomment the call to telnetd:

I also took the opportunity to show a login prompt on the serial interface by modifying /etc/inittab and add a call to getty:

With this, I can login normally via Putty through the serial connection. The default account is root with empty password, but you might also want to update /etc/passwd and set the value you want.

After all modifications, use mksquashfs with the xz compression parameter to regenerate the firmware file. To be extra careful, study the original firmware dump and try to match the format as closely as possible. If the generated file is smaller than the original firmware file, pad it with zero to match the original file size. You should only be modifying the Root and the User partitions. Once done, transfer the firmware files to the device and use sf update to write the updated firmware files, one at a time. To do so, configure u-boot to receive files in YMODEM mode and use something like ExtraPuTTY to send the binary files. Although u-boot on this board supports Kermit, attempting to send/receive via Kermit would always result the received file being a few kilobytes smaller in size, regardless of which software I used. In the end, YMODEM is the only protocol that worked well.

Take note to only update the required partitions and leave other partitions untouched. In particular, the Boot and the Kernel partitions contain the u-boot code. If these partitions are damaged and the u-boot menu is inaccessible, the only fix is to unsolder the chips and manually flash the firmware. If this happens, you might as well buy a new camera. Remember to use sf update and not sf write. The latter will appear to write data successfully but will only cause the board to end up in an infinite reboot loop – I wasted 2 days on that!

After successfully flashing, the camera should reboot normally and telnet should now be accessible. RTSP will now work with most software including FFmpeg and iSpy. If you prefer, you might also want to find some simple HTTP/FTP server code, compile for MIPS and embed in the firmware to offer HTTP download and FTP functionality. The only other thing I do not like about this camera is the fact that recorded videos are not timestamped, which result in waste of resources on my Raspberry Pi trying to re-encode the video with the correct timestamps. Wireless reception can be weak at times, but this might just be due to my particular environment. Long story short, this camera is good to play with since it offers the possibility of flashing custom firmware via u-boot. To this end, I like the IPC365 even more than the V380 as I just couldn’t find any way to access the V380 firmware because its board does not contain any easy to identify serial connection pins.

The original dump, modified firmware and some C# code I write to help with the memory dump can be downloaded here for those who are interested.

Role and Importance of Simulator Instructor
1 Pakistan Marine Academy (PMA), Karachi, Pakistan
ABSTRACT: Traditional concept of seafarers? training was based upon theoretical teaching in class room followed by the practical training onboard ship. This concept underwent profound changes in 80s due economic and practical reasons emanating from new face of the marine industry. Simulator based training had obvious advantages of being economical, safe and redundant. But it had its own implications as well. How perfect a simulator may be, it still was far away from real ship experiences. Instructor became more and more important and he is actually responsible to connect up the simulator experience with real ship experiences through his visualization and does not let the trainee get into a discourse or fall into a game mood. This study examines how the importance of simulator instructor is on the rise and present tools available for the qualification of the simulator instructors need to be augmented with new measures so as to ensure the quality of the simulator based training of the seafarers.

3ds max 2010 system utilisation

Post by nick_b »

Hello all,

Sorry to keep asking what are probably noob type questions but I have another small question to ask.

I use 3ds max 2010 and I've found that when I render anything it only uses 3 or 4gb of ram.

I have a quad core CPU with 16gb of ddr3 with a gtx260 graphics card.
I have windows 7 ultimate 64bit.

Is there any way I can make 3ds max use more ram?

Thank you all in advance

Don't worry; 3DS Max will simply use the amount of memory that it needs to. Believe me, a complex scene will cause more memory to be used. But if it's not required, it doesn't use it.

In addition to erik's answer.

3ds MAX also use the windows swapfile for memory. The system memory is only used for the parts where it does it's calculations. You can not change any setting in the default scanline renderer.

but you can change some settings when you use a renderer like V-Ray see document here
http://rapidshare.com/files/126811570/3 ... dering.pdf

Not that you need to use another renderer but different renderers have different results. If your trying to improve rendertime it has usualy nothing to do with memory size.

French Machinery : ITMA 2011 above all expectations

BARCELONE, 22-09-2011

Attachments :

ITMA 2011 in Barcelona was clearly a great edition of the machinery and technology exhibition.
“It was very spectacular to see so much interest for our machines and services and many significant projects from the textile producers worldwide” says Bruno Ameline, the Chairman of UCMTF, the French Textile Machinery Manufacturers’ Association. He adds “ there seem to be two different worlds, the financial world in jeopardy and a real economy where the entrepreneurs have long term goals and innovative projects to ensure the growth and the profitabilty of their companies.”
The French exhibitors were amazed by the number and the quality of the visitors, their already well planned projects and their willingness to implement these very quickly to secure competive advantages on the market.
Contracts have been signed on the show, some on which the French machinery manufacturers may report, many which the customers want to keep confidential not to let their competitors know about their strategies.
Evelyne Cholet, UCMTF Secretay General, states that “the French manufacturers are now harvesting the results of their strategy to address the specific requirements of their customers, to provide them tailored solutions and seamless service, in one word to build long-term relationships with them and provide added value to their projects.”

Spinning and yarn processing

  • NSC Fibre To Yarn
    NSC Fibre To Yarn main innovation was the S200 new stretch breaker. It was very well received by the customers. The latest evolution of the ERA combing machine also reached a big success.
    The company attracted an unusual number of customers from such countries as Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Mexico, Iran and India.
    SUPERBA has shown its latest development in the field of artificial turf: the GREENTEX line. It is a completely new concept for the processing of artificial grass which enables to carry out the well-known KDK technology in one single operation. The line is capable of texturizing up to 12 ends at the same time in a fully continuous operation including knitting, on-line heat-setting, de-knitting and re-winding.
    The customers, prospects and visitors who were looking for innovative processes, quality and energy savings in machinery and differentiation with new products on their market segments, found these with the Greentex line, or with the already reputed TVP3 heat-setting line for carpet yarns.
    SwissTex France has presented a new twisting & cabling Tire Cord machine: the CP 20 exhibited for the 1st time in a show. The machine was running on the booth and has attracted many visitors. With this new CP 20 machine, SwissTex France makes the choice of a complete new design from the frame to the textile equipment, with many advantages such as energy saving, easy ergonomics.
    Christophe Lettner, head of Sales and Marketing, said the booth was particularly active with customers coming with very precise projects and that very important orders were signed during ITMA.
  • PETIT Spare Parts
    PETIT Spare Parts is a dealer in accessories for all textile machines. It has a wide international installed base. Over 6 000 spare parts references are available on stock at competitive prices. A personalised assistance is provided by technicians and a reactive, trilingual bureau is available for the customers.
    PETIT Spare Parts has acquired worldwide exclusive rights to deal in original spare parts for the “fine fibres” machines of the ARCT, ACBF, ICBT, RIETER ICBT and RITM brands.
    The measurement of the real tension of yarn is of paramount importance to optimize the quality of the yarn during the manufacturing process. FIL CONTROL brought a solution for detecting “big” yarns (400 to 10 000 dTex) thanks to a new product MYT (Meters Yarn Tension) with a wide tension range: 100cN to 10 000cN. It also permits to detect drifts in the manufacturing process of yarns and to improve the maintenance of the machines

    The main innovation was the new generation of Airlay type “Flexiloft +”. This fifth Laroche Airlay generation is designed to produce uniform mats from all types of fibers from 2 to 60 mm length whatever the fineness and as well as from non-fibrous particles.
    The main improvement of this new generation is in the capability of this machine to produce very resilient lofty fibers mats which will permit notably to produce thermobonded products with uniform density of less than 10 kg/m3 and with thickness up to 300 mm after thermobonding process. Also a big improvement has been made to produce mats of fibers from 250 up to 10 000 gsm with a capacity up to 1T/h/m as well as the ability to process 100% shredded paper or 100% wood fibers.
    LAROCHE is particularly proud to have sold the 10th JUMBO/EXEL Tearing Line to its main customer in Spain “ALCOCERTEX”, as well as other recycling lines to countries such as Indonesia, Pakistan, Mexico…
  • Breaking NEWS : Andritz acquires Asselin-Thibeau
    During ITMA, Andritz Group and NSC Group announced they had signed a contract on September 20 for the acquisition of Asselin-Thibeau by Andritz.
    Asselin-Thibeau is the corporate identity of the NSC Nonwovens activities and Andritz already a leader in nonwovens through Andritz Perfojet in France and Andritz Küsters in Germany.
    Both companies insisted that very interesting synergies could be found with this consolidation: a nonwoven platform within the Andritz Group will enable the pooling of three experiences and know how to optimize the existing technologies and achieve the best process results and the utmost production efficiency for single system components or full-line concepts. For the clients a wide range of processes will be available from a single source.
    Concerning the future of the NSC Group, Bruno Ameline, Chairman and CEO explained the Group will continue to invest for the future of its engineering expertise.
  • NSC Nonwoven
    ASSELIN THIBEAU was very satisfied with ITMA 2011.
    The machinery manufacturer received an excellent welcome for the Excelle Isoweb® TT card as well as for the ACS Profile crosslappers and the new SDV-2 needleloom for velour applications.
    Excelle Isoweb® TT card is the inline card solution to obtain 3/1 MD/CD strength ratio on final product, even at high speeds over 250 m/min.
    ACS is the crosslappers solution for high speed production capacities. Even with both card web condensed, ACS is enabling the Asselin® crosslappers to run an inlet speed well over 100 m/min. With parallel card web, speeds are over 150 m/min. The ACS also enhances the final fabric performances, such as contributing to obtain a MD/CD ratio for strength and elongation, close to 1/1. Automotive appears to be one of the key application fields.
    For Jean-Philippe DUMON, Sales & Marketing Director, the affluence of customers was huge, specially customers with real projects from India, Pakistan, Middle-East and Gulf countries, North and Latin Americas. The attendance from Europe and Asia was as expected, with a limited number of Chinese customers. Several contracts have been signed during ITMA but the company cannot give names for the moment to respect the confidentiality requested by the customers.
    Andritz Perfojet and Andritz Küsters presented their latest developments in wetlaid, spunlace,
    calender, and wet finishing.
    With the neXline spunlace, which includes the Jetlace hydroentanglement system, a dewatering unit, through-air dryer, and twin embossing calender, Andritz can provide a single-source solution with high productivity and very attractive energy efficiency to produce state-of-the-art spunlace fabrics. In order to customize spunlace fabrics and produce unique webs, Andritz offers a full range of patterning and aperture solutions using calenders or sleeves. A further innovative development by Andritz Perfojet is the spunjet technology for spunlaid nonwovens. This patented process entails hydroentanglement of continuous filaments, thus creating a new generation of nonwovens with superior fabric properties as regards bulk, softness, drape, and tensile strength.

    STÄUBLI announced a new generation of dobbies, the newly developed rotary dobby family S3060/S3260. The new evolutionary locking system principle – the heart of every dobby - features enhanced security for the selection of the heald frames and allows higher production speeds and fabric quality.
    As a main attraction on the STÄUBLI booth customers wanted to see the new Jacquard machine SX, which is now also available in a version SX V for the production of velvet fabrics. Furthermore drawing-in machine SAFIR S80 - known for high universality and faultless drawing-in quality of weaving harnesses - was of major interest to customers who want to further rationalize weaving preparation.
    New contacts were made and many projects were discussed, started or reviewed. A most pleasing fact is that an encouraging number of orders were finalized during the show.
    MALLEIN, a specialist of the beam for warping and weaving, is able to answer to all needs of the actual textile activity. The entire integration of its aluminium foundry and all of its production facilities allowed MALLEIN to answer to all specifics enquiries.
    MALLEIN exhibited its new range of aluminium canisters during ITMA 2011, canisters that are stronger and stronger and manufactured with the greatest geometric precision.

    On ITMA, EBELMANN worked very closely with its clients on how to reduce waste on the selvedges during the weaving process. In particular special scissors, made in carbide tungsten blades, in association with polycrystalline diamond inserts – a special know how of the company- were closely studied by many customers for such applications as aramids, glass fibers, carbon fibers and other high price yarns.
    “New research in 3 D and multiaxial weaving are very promising for EBELMANN” says Karine Ebelmann, the CEO.

Dyeing and finishing

    Shown for the first time in Barcelona, the ROTORA Yarn & Fabric Machine is the new advancement of the ROTORA concept to dye a beam of cones in rotation.
    It offers the possibility to dye simultaneously cones and fabrics. One of the main advantages is to obtain absolutely the same color in clothes which are made with fabric and yarn.
    A sampling can be made without draining the vessel, by means of a door on the vessel.
    The rotation of the beams inside the machine allows to adapt the quantity of bath to the quantity of material and so to dye in the most economical condition. The ROTORA Y & F allows economies up to 50% compared to conventional machines and more versatility as the length of the ROTORA Y & F beam machine is adapted to the width of the fabric and/or the number of cones to be dyed.
    Callebaut de Blicquy (CDB) introduced its latest improvements in dye-work management optimization:
    - On laboratory level, with CDB specific device for “online” color measuring, integrated to the dyeing machine or any other equipment requiring it, and with their own lab equipment allowing both process optimization and significant production cost savings.
    - On industrial level: CDB introduced machines for economical and ecological Very High Density bleaching and dyeing of loose stock fibers, tow and bumps (up to 700 kg per cubic meter for acrylic or polyester tow and more than 350 kg per cubic meter for loose cotton fibers), allowing huge savings in water, steam and ingredients consumption, and so providing the most competitive cost prices (up to 25% cost reduction).
    The latest version of ROUSSELET ROBATEL continuous centrifugal hydro-extractor achieved a great success at ITMA. The various and numerous loose stock processors involved in dyeing, bleaching or washing have been impressed by energy cost savings such centrifuge allows at the level of the drying operation, and appreciated its new designed full opening and pneumatically driven top lid which significantly reduces basket inspection and cleaning times, so increasing its productivity and improving its flexibility.
    The interest on the DOLLFUS & MULLER booth was specially on the new compactor felt for the knitted fabrics finishing which brings many new advantages: higher compaction, softer for quicker running in, peach skin surface for a better finishing of light weight open width fabrics. Many contacts were also taken concerning the dryer belts and the sanfor felts.
    David Fauconnier, Sales Director, emphasises that “ITMA 2011 has surpassed our expectations. The number of visitors at the DOLLFUS & MULLER booth increased by more than 40% compared with the prior edition of ITMA. Many new contacts were made with prospects from such countries as Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, Iran and as well from India, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Brazil.”
    Last but not least, during the show DOLLFUS & MULLER was very proud to celebrate its 200 years anniversary.

    Visitors have discovered Calemard’s cutter Softegder new generation, developed especially for flat and smooth edges on narrow strips 100% PE, Tafta or satin.
    The Decoup+ Ultrasonic division has introduced its new mini press to perform cutting, welding and punching operations: even more compact, more versatile, with easier settings and maintenance.
    The customers were searching for high quality devices but also customized solutions as per their needs, with the same objective: add value to their final product.
  • AESA
    the specialist in air-conditioning and waste collection systems for all textile factories, was positively impressed by ITMA Barcelona results noting a big qualitative and quantitative increase of visitors compared to previous edition.
