Texas Instruments OMAP (Open Multimedia Application Platform — открытая платформа мультимедийных приложений) — это семейство Систем-на-кристалле (SoC) для применения в переносных мультимедийных устройствах, разработанное Texas Instruments. OMAP содержат процессорное ядро ARM общего назначения и один или несколько специализированных сопроцессоров. Первые варианты OMAP содержали, как правило, цифровой сигнальный процессор семейства TMS320.

Семейство OMAP
Семейство OMAP состоит из трех групп, собранных по производительности и назначению:
 Высокопроизводительные процессоры
 Базовые процессоры
 Процессоры встраиваемых модемов

Существует 2 канала распространения, и не все продукты доступны в обоих каналах. Семейство OMAP возникло в сотрудничестве с производителями сотовых телефонов, поэтому основной канал распространения — прямая продажа таким производителям. Продукты, разработанные для удовлетворения растущим требованиям к сотовым телефонам, являются достаточно гибкими и производительными для продаж через менее специализированный каталожный канал; некоторые OMAP 1 устройства, и многие из OMAP 3, имеют альтернативные каталожные модели. Устройства, считающиеся устаревшими с точки зрения производителей сотовых телефонов, могут быть востребованы по каталожному каналу.

В последнее время, каталожному каналу уделяется всё большее внимание, так как OMAP35x и OMAP-L13x предлагаются для использования в различных устройствах, где требуются производительные и энергоэффективные процессоры.

Высокопроизводительные процессоры
Изначально предназначались в качестве процессоров приложений в смартфонах, достаточно производительных для работы под такими ОС, как Linux, Android или Symbian, поддерживающими соединение с ПК и аудио- видео- приложения.

OMAP 1
Семейство OMAP 1 создавалось с доработанным TI ядром ARM, которое позже было заменено стандартным ядром ARM926. Семейство состояло из множества моделей, различающихся технологией производства (130 nm кроме серии OMAP171x), процессорным ядром, набором периферийных устройств и каналом распространения (напрямую производителям сотовых телефонов или через каталог). В марте 2009 семейство OMAP1710 все ещё было доступно производителям телефонов.

Среди продуктов, использующих OMAP 1 сотни моделей сотовых телефонов и Nokia 770 Интернет-планшет.

 OMAP171x — 220 МГц ARM926EJ-S + C55x DSP, низковольтный, техпроцесс 90 nm
 OMAP162x — 204 МГц ARM926EJ-S + C55x DSP + 2 MB встроенной памяти SRAM, 130 nm техпроцесс
 OMAP5912 — каталожная версия OMAP1621 (или OMAP1611b в старых версиях)
 OMAP161x — 204 МГц ARM926EJ-S + C55x DSP, 130 nm техпроцесс
 OMAP1510 — 168 МГц ARM925T (доработанное TI ядро) + C55x DSP
 OMAP5910 — каталожная версия OMAP 1510

OMAP 2
Эти устройства поставлялись только производителям телефонов. Использовались в телефонах и планшетах.
 OMAP2431 — 330 МГц ARM1136 + 220 МГц C64x DSP
 OMAP2430 — 330 МГц ARM1136 + 220 МГц C64x DSP + PowerVR MBX lite GPU
 OMAP2420 — 330 МГц ARM1136 + 220 МГц C55x DSP + PowerVR MBX GPU

OMAP 3
Третье поколение — OMAP 3 разделено на 3 группы: OMAP34x, OMAP35x и OMAP36x. OMAP34x и OMAP36x продаются напрямую крупным производителям телефонов. OMAP35x — каталожный вариант OMAP34x . OMAP36x — 45 nm версия с повышенной тактовой частотой 65 nm OMAP34x.

В старших моделях OMAP 3 для обработки видео используется часть, позаимствованная у продуктов линии DaVinci, которые представляют собой DSP C64x+, блок обработки видео и ядро ARM9 или ARM Cortex-A8.

В таблице ниже не указано, но все OMAP3 содержат такой блок обработки видео (IVA2 — Image, Video, Audio Accelerator). Но возможности этого блока в разных моделях отличаются. Большинство устройств поддерживает работу с 12 мегапиксельными камерами, но некоторые — только с 5 или 3 мегапиксельными. Некоторые поддерживают 720p HD видео.

OMAP 4

Четвёртое поколение — OMAP 4430, 4460 (раньше назывался 4440),, и 4470 содержат двухъядерный ARM Cortex-A9. Также во все семейство OMAP 44XX включены два ядра ARM Cortex-M3, работающих на частоте 266 МГц, разгружающих ядра A9 на задачах, не требующих высокой производительности, позволяя достичь высокой энергоэффективности. 4430 и 4460 содержат PowerVR SGX540 GPU, работающий на частоте 304 или 384 МГц соответственно (для сравнения, в предыдущих версиях SGX540 обычно работал на 200 МГц), что делает его теоретически гораздо более быстрым. 4470 содержит PowerVR SGX544 GPU, который поддерживает DirectX 9, что позволяет использовать его в Windows 8 как и выделенное графическое 2D ядро от Vivante для увеличения энергоэффективности до 50..90 %%. Все OMAP 4 содержат аппаратный мультимедийный ускоритель IVA3 с программируемым DSP, что позволяет кодировать/декодировать 1080p Full HD видео. OMAP 4 использует ARM-Cortex A9 ядра с блоком обработки SIMD-команд (также известен как NEON), который позволяет значительно увеличить производительность, в ряде случаев превосходя Nvidia Tegra 2 Cortex-A9 с не-векторным блоком обработки вещественных чисел. Также используется двухканальный контроллер памяти LPDDR2, сравнимый с одноканальным контроллером Nvidia Tegra 2.

OMAP 5

Пятое поколение OMAP базируется на двухъядерном CPU ARM Cortex-A15 с дополнительными двумя ядрами ARM Cortex-M4, избавляющими ядра A15 от задач, не требующих большой вычислительной производительности, что способствует увеличению энергоэффективности, двух графических ядрах PowerVR SGX544MP и выделенном 2D графическом ускорителе от Vivante, многоканальной дисплейной подсистеме и процессоре цифровой обработки сигналов. Они поддерживают 20 и 24 мегапиксельные камеры для фронтальной и задней 3D HD видеокамер соответственно. Также поддерживается до 8 гигабайт двухканальной DDR3 памяти, работа с четырьмя 3D дисплеями, интерфейс 3D HDMI версии 1.4, 3 порта USB 2.0 и SATA 2.0.

Базовые процессоры для мультимедийных приложений

Данные продукты реализуются исключительно производителям мобильных устройств. Они предназначены в качестве высокоинтегрированных, недорогих чипов для потребительских устройств. Серия OMAP-DM предназначена для использования в качестве цифровых медийных сопроцессоров для мобильных устройств с цифровыми фото- и видеокамерами высокого разрешения.

 OMAP331 — ARM9
 OMAP310 — ARM9
 OMAP-DM270 — ARM7 + C54x DSP
 OMAP-DM299 — ARM7 + ISP + массив mDDR SDRAM
 OMAP-DM500 — ARM7 + ISP + массив mDDR SDRAM
 OMAP-DM510 — ARM926 + ISP + 128 Мб массив mDDR SDRAM
 OMAP-DM515 — ARM926 + ISP + 256 Мб массив mDDR SDRAM

 OMAP710 — 133 MHz ARM925 + GSM/GPRS digital baseband

OMAP L-1x

Компания TI определяет следующие основные направления для применения процессоров OMAP-L1x:
 Портативные приборы и устройства: аудио, измерительные, потребительского назначения.
 Профессиональная аудиоаппаратура: микшеры, аудиосинтезаторы, аппаратура для широковещательной связи и звуковой конференц-связи.
 Автоматизация производства: программируемые контроллеры, тестовое и измерительное оборудование.
 Применение в SDR (Software-Defined Radio).
 Медицинская техника, в том числе портативная.
Рассмотрим, что делает эти изделия привлекательным для данных направлений.

Для коммерческого успеха изделия на рынке портативных устройств наиболее существенными являются следующие факторы:
 Потребляемая мощность;
 Производительность и уровень интеграции;
 Время выхода на рынок;
 Цена.
Подсистема ARM состоит из следующих составляющих:
 32-разрядный RISC-процессор ARM926EJ-S с модулем управления памятью (MMU), работающий на частоте 300МГц.
 Кэш-память команд на 16Кбайт.
 Кэш-память данных на 16Кбайт.
 Внутренняя память ARM, в том числе: оперативную память 8Кбайт (используемая как таблица векторов) и ПЗУ объемом 64Кбайт (данные для начальной загрузки).
 Встроенный буфер трассировки (ETB).
Процессор ARM926EJ-S ориентирован на применение в многозадачных приложениях, для которых существенное значение имеют эффективное управление памятью, высокая эффективность и малая потребляемая мощность.

Дополнительные возможности процессора обозначены суффиксами E, J и S в его наименовании. Суффикс E указывает на автоматическое наличие функций T, D, M, I. Рассмотрим эти функции подробнее:

Суффикс T указывает на поддержку процессором набора инструкций Thumb. Первоначально система команд ARM содержала только 32-разрядные инструкции. Программы, подготовленные для 32-разрядной системы команд, требуют значительного объема памяти, что, в свою очередь, приводит к росту общей стоимости системы, поскольку Flash-память является одним из её наиболее дорогостоящих компонентов. Технология Thumb предлагает следующее решение - из всего набора 32-разрядных инструкций отобраны наиболее часто используемые и перекодированы в 16-разрядные коды. При выборке такой инструкции аппаратным образом восстанавливается истинный 32-разрядный код, который и выполняется процессором. Программист имеет возможность переключать процессор между наборами ARM и Thumb, используя команду BX. Таким образом, можно находить компромисс между размером кода и производительностью, подготавливая критичные к размеру фрагменты в коде Thumb и критичные к производительности - в кодах ARM. Этот подход обеспеечивает весьма высокую плотность кода. По оценкам компании TI, размер программного кода при использовании набора Thumb снижается на 35%, если сравнивать с программами, использующими только набор инструкций ARM. При этом производительность примерно на 60% выше, чем у системы, в которой эквивалентный 32-разрядный процессор работает с 16-разрядной памятью.

Суффикс D указывает на возможность использования порта JTAG для отладки системы.

Суффикс M указывает на наличие встроенного умножителя (MAC), реализующего операцию «умножение/аккумулирование» за один цикл.

Суффикс I указывает на наличие встроенного внутрисхемного эмулятора (в данном случае - EmbeddedICE-RTTM) для отладки в реальном времени.

Функция E указывает на наличие дополнительных инструкций в системе команд, которые расширяют арифметические возможности процессора.

Суффикс J указывает на поддержку Java-инструкций. Технология Jazelle, используемая в ряде ARM-процессоров, предназначена для приложений с поддержкой языка программирования Java. Эта технология дает возможность ARM-процессору выполнять Java-код на аппаратном уровне. В этом случае помимо двух наборов инструкций ARM и Thumb добавляется третий набор инструкций - Java, который активизируется в новом Java-режиме. Таким образом, разработчики имеют возможность эффективно использовать Java-приложения, в том числе - операционные системы и прикладной код, на одном процессоре.

И, наконец, суффикс S указывает на тот факт, что в данном изделии применена синтезируемая версия, то есть поставляемая производителю кристалла в виде исходного текста, требующего компиляции (синтеза). В отличие от синтезируемых, фиксированные версии имеют заданную (фиксированную) топологию, переносимую производителем на кристалл без изменений.

Повышенная продолжительность автономной работы портативных изделий - большой плюс с точки зрения потребителя. Существуют также устройства с определенным лимитом энергопотребления, например изделия с питанием от порта USB или электроника с питанием от автомобильного аккумулятора.

В процессорах OMAP-L1x реализованы передовые технологии минимизации потребляемой энергии в активном режиме, а именно:
 Динамическая коммутация питания- в этом методе определяется момент, когда потребность в компоненте, который выполнил текущие задачи, временно отсутствует, после чего он переводится в состояние с низким энергопотреблением.
 Динамическое масштабирование напряжения и частоты - тактовая частота и напряжение понижаются командами управляющей программы в зависимости от производительности конкретного приложения. Выше отмечалось, что на выходе PLL-схемы формируется основная последовательность синхросигналов с частотой 600МГц. Однако программным образом можно установить значения 400 или 450МГц.
Компания TI поддерживает свои изделия комплексом программных и аппаратных средств разработки. Стартовый набор OMAP-L137/TMS320C6747 Floating Point Starter Kit, является недорогой платформой, спроектированной для ускорения разработки приложений, основанных на прикладных процессорах приложений OMAP-L137 и сигнальных процессорах TMS320C674x (TMS320C6747, TMS320C6745 и TMS320C6743).

Аппаратная часть представляет собой плату TMDXOSKL137BET, разработанную совместно с компанией Spectrum Digital, которая подключается к персональному компьютеру через USB-порт.

Программное обеспечение включает пакет инструментальных средств eXpressDSPTM, а именно: мощную интегрированную среду разработки Code Composer StudioTM IDE, масштабируемое ядро реального времени (DSP/BIOSTM), а также eXpressDSP-совместимые алгоритмы (написанные в соответствии со стандартом eXpressDSP Algorithm Interface)..

 OMAP-L138 — 300 MHz ARM926EJ-S + C674x floating point DSP
Процессоры OMAP L-1x распространяются только по каталожному каналу сбыта и имеют другие технологические корни, чем прочие процессоры линейки OMAP. Вместо того, чтобы происходить непосредственно из линейки чипов для сотовых телефонов, они основаны на семействе цифровых сигнальных процессоров DaVinci, ориентированном на обработку видео, удаляя некоторые функции, необходимые для обработки для видео, но в то время используя модернизированную периферию DaVinci. Достойная внимания особенность — использование в DSP арифметики с плавающей запятой вместо более общепринятой арифметики с фиксированной запятой.

Продукты, использующие OMAP процессоры
Много мобильных телефонов используют OMAP SoCs, включая такие, как Nokia N90, N91, N92, N95, N82, E61, E62, E63, E90, N800, N810 и N900, интернет-планшеты, Motorola Droid, Droid X и Droid 2. Palm Pre, Pandora, Touch Book также используют OMAP SoC (а именно OMAP3430). Motorola RAZR XT910/XT912, DROID RAZR MAXX используют OMAP4430. Другие, использующие OMAP SoC — Sony Ericsson Satio, Sony Ericsson Vivaz, Samsung Omnia HD, B&N Nook (, /, Tablet, Simple Touch), Kindle Fire, некоторые Archos планшеты (такие как Archos 80 gen 9 и Archos 101 gen 9), умные очки Google Glass.

OMAP SoCs также используются в некоторых любительских и прототипных платах, таких как Beagle Board, Panda Board и .

Carr Lodge Academy, Doncaster
Doncaster's first new school in a generation; it used a Sunesis standardised design to deliver in 9 months
PreviousNextDown
Doncaster's first new-built primary school in 40 years!
Using a Sunesis Keynes standardised design with set price
Accommodates 420 primary school pupils and 50 nursery children
Built in nine months
Enabled academy to be ready for first intake in September 2015
Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council successfully used a Sunesis solution for its first primary school in 40 years, allowing Carr Lodge Academy to open its doors in September 2015.
The academy opted for a Sunesis Keynes model to provide 420 school places. With the demand for places proving a real challenge, the Sunesis solution was a key factor in making Carr Lodge Academy affordable and value for money for the council.
Sunesis, which provides local authorities with schools at fixed prices, has now been used to deliver over 25 schools across the country. In the case of Carr Lodge Academy, it was built in nine months, allowing Wakefield City Academy Trust to take on management of a school the council described as having 'excellent facilities and an education-focused design'.
See Carr Lodge built in two minutes!
Talking about using Sunesis, Adam Midgley, Doncaster Council:
"Procuring a Sunesis Keynes school from Willmott Dixon through Scape has been an overwhelmingly positive and painless experience. I don't believe any other option could have delivered so much for so little, in such a short time frame."
Why Sunesis?
For the council, the pre-designed solution for a fixed price gave them certainty and value in terms of cost. It was also quick; being procured through Scape, it cut 6-9 months off the procurement time-frame, allowing the school to meet the demand for places sooner by being built in less than a year from concept.
For Carr Lodge Academy, Sunesis meant the school building was ready in just nine months after work started, giving staff and pupils a bright and spacious building, thoughtfully planned with excellent facilities that have used the best design ideas from other schools.
Inside are purpose built rooms providing music, drama and dance studio; a food technology room and a spacious library brimming with books - all backed supported by the latest in ICT support. A central corridor provides excellent circulation space with lots of natural light also a key feature.
Delighted council, delighted head teacher
Doncaster Council's cabinet member for children, young people and schools Cllr Nuala Fennelly:
"The facilities here at Carr Lodge academy are excellent, and it is great to see both pupils and staff so excited about the future."
Headteacher Richard Tuddenham:
"It is now, with the education of our pupils, that our journey begins a new chapter. It is our collective responsibility as a community to ensure we provide an education that matches our surroundings; one in which all our pupils can aspire, achieve and succeed."
Alan Yellup, chief executive of Wakefield City Academy Trust:
"There has been a large demand for places and this is a much-needed Academy in an area with a growing population."
Beating the budgets cuts!
Sunesis has proved a popular way for local authorities to reduce the time and cost of building new schools. Since its launch in 2011, over 25 Sunesis schools have been commissioned by twelve local authorities to provide over 8,500 new school places, and recently, they are being used by developers, with Berkeley procuring Sunesis for its S106 commitments on a estate in Berkshire .

IATT focuses on national anti-corruption strategy to stem corruption — Official
Afonne Emmanuel December 9, 2021 4 min read
Inter-Agency Task Team (IATT) focuses on implementation of its National Anti-Corruption Strategy 2017-2021 for sustainable approach to combat corruption in the country.
By Emmanuella Anokam
The Inter-Agency Task Team (IATT) says it is focusing on the implementation of its National Anti-Corruption Strategy 2017-2021 for a sustainable approach to combat corruption in the country.
Ms Lilian Ekeanyanwu, Head, Technical Unit on Governance and Anti-corruption Reforms (TUGAR), said this on Thursday in Abuja at the commemoration of International Anti-corruption Day 2021, tagged, " Your Right, Your Role: Say No to Corruption."
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the IATT is the coordinating forum of agencies with Anti-corruption and accountability mandates, with its secretariat at the TUGAR.
The IATT comprises of 22 agencies, including, Nigeria Extractive Industries, Transparency Initiative, Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Independent Corrupt Practices Commission, Code of Conduct Bureau, Fiscal Responsibility Commission, among others.
Ekeanyanwu noted that the first circle of the strategy, which was approved by the Federal Executive Council (FEC) ended in July 2021 and would be presented to FEC for extension, based on consensus and recommendations by stakeholders.
She disclosed that a new action plan would be developed to guide the implementation of the strategy, adding that it was expected to be all inclusive with sector specific strategies for necessary buy-in.
Ekeanyanwu recalled that the IATT at an Inter-Agency retreat in May 2009 adopted a statement of commitment to jointly address pressing issues within the national Anti-corruption agenda and commemorate international Anti-corruption day to combat corruption.
She noted that in order to build on the synergy, the IATT organised a high level seminar to mark the international Anti-corruption Day 2021, which had as a key component, a panel for discussion by the heads of Anti-corruption agencies.
The IATT boss urged Nigerians to take the responsibility and play their respective roles in combating corruption in different sectors of the economy.
Nigeria joined other countries to endorse the United Nations Convention Against Corruption (UNCAC) in 2005, where countries adopted the decision to designate Dec. 9, as Anti-corruption Day.
Dr Orji Ogbonnaya Orji, Executive Secretary, NEITI, in a presentation noted that it was discovered early that secret ownership of companies was responsible for major problems that Nigeria and other developing countries faced today.
Orji noted that NEITI's first audit report, before the rest of the world adopted UNCAC in 2005, identified Beneficial Ownership Disclosure as a measure to prevent corruption and illicit financial flows in extractive industry.
Orji was speaking on "Beneficial Ownership Disclosure: A Tool for Fighting Corruption, Recovery of Assets, Preventing Illicit Financial Flows and Terrorism Financing".
He said that secret ownership could fuel corruption, facilitate illicit financial flows and generally undermine the capacity of government to function effectively.
He said that some reports estimated that Africa and other developing countries lost about one trillion dollars every year due to corruption, illicit financial flows and related illegal activities.
"Similarly, we are all aware of the recent report by the African Union Panel led by Thabo Mbeki, that Africa loses more than 50 billion dollars every year due to illicit financial flows and that Nigeria alone accounts for about one-third of this amount.
"This report also shows that more than 90 per cent of illicit financial flows in Nigeria occurs in the extractive industry.
''Recently, a special report by NEITI found that about $4.2 billion worth of crude oil is either lost or stolen every year.
"Taken together, these losses pose serious challenges to government's ability to deliver public goods and services to citizens.
"Particularly, secret ownership or exploitation of mineral resources undermines national security and poses an existential threat to the country," he said.
He stressed that Nigeria, through NEITI, recognised the damage done to the economy by these practices.
He said in Dec. 2019, Nigeria became the first African country to establish a publicly accessible register of beneficial owners, and the first globally to establish a register in extractive sector.
"Within the past year also, we have entered into strategic partnerships with anticorruption agencies to enhance corruption detection, asset recovery and combating illicit financial flows in the extractive industry.
"Specifically, our Memmorandum of Understanding with the Nigeria Financial Intelligence Unit (NFIU) will add great value towards achieving the primary objectives of beneficial ownership disclosure.
"Our 2019 as well as ongoing 2020 audit of the extractive sector will continue to uphold global reporting standards which are designed to provide data to aid detection and measurement of illicit financial flows in the extractive industry.
"Within the past year, we have made significant contribution, in terms of providing data and analysis, to support government's Interagency Committee and the ICPC programme to curb illicit financial flows in the extractive industry," he added.
Also speaking, Ghada Waly, Executive Director, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), stated that corruption undermined rights to justice and opportunity to public services and sustainable future.
He noted that global youths had the perspective and conviction to find solution to corruption and hold leaders accountable, adding that the UNODC was committed to supporting countries to take action through UN convention against corruption. (NAN)

Brits Who Post "False Information" About Vaccines
Could Be Jailed For Two Years
People in the UK who post "false information" about vaccines online could face two years in prison under a new law.
Yes, really.
The Online Safety Bill, described as "the flagship legislation to combat abuse and hatred on the internet" has faced fierce criticism from civil liberties groups for its broad overreach.
The law would create a "knowingly false communication" offence which, according to the Times, "will criminalise those who send or post a message they know to be false with the intention to cause "emotional, psychological, or physical harm to the likely audience". Government sources gave the example of antivaxers spreading false information that they know to be untrue."
Given that authorities have deemed all kinds of information about the pandemic and vaccines "false" that later turned out to be true, this is a chilling prospect.
For example, claims that vaccines are not fully effective in stopping the spread of COVID-19 would have once been deemed "false," but that position is now a proven fact.
The bill would also change the current stricter standard of "indecent" or "grossly offensive" content to the much broader definition of "harmful effect" when deciding if a post or a message is criminal.
This is more in line with UK hate speech laws that determine whether an act of hate speech or a "hate incident" has been committed not on the basis of whether or not it actually happened, but on the basis of the supposed victim feeling like they've been targeted.
"The new offences will include so-called "pile-ons" where a number of individuals join others in sending harassing messages to a victim on social media," reports the Times.
And if you think that will stop left-wing mobs who routinely form "pile-ons" against conservatives for expressing dissenting opinions, think again.
It will be selectively enforced against people who criticize or make fun of those deemed "oppressed minorities," despite such groups having the full backing of the state and every cultural institution (the alphabet people).
The Online Harms Bill is being amplified with the help of relentless propaganda about black football players being abused online, despite the fact that most of the abuse originates abroad, mainly from Middle Eastern countries

I hope you have all enjoyed Christmas, I know I do too. Since most of my friends are out of town for two weeks, I'm still here in Montreal, extending my culinary skills, discovering new ingredients and doing lab works. For now, I will be doing the cooking at home. Recently on Foodbuzz, there were quite some recipes using gnocchi and for a while, I wanted to make something with gnocchi. Gnocchi is an ingredient originally from Italy, you can think of as a potato-based dumplings. Like pasta, it can be served in any sauce. This recipe is taken from Robert's Recipes.
1. In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until transparent. Add in garlic and cook until fragrant.
2. Add ground beef and cook until it starts to turn brown. Add pepper and mushroom, continue to cook until pepper is tender. Drain off excess fats.
3. Add diced tomatoes and their liquid, tomato sauce, bay leaves and seasonings. Bring to boil and reduce to low heat. Continue cooking for 30-40 mins until the sauce becomes thick and liquid evaporates.
4. Meanwhile, cook gnocchi in a pot of boiling water. The gnocchi are ready when it starts floating.
5. Transfer gnocchi to Bolognese sauce. Serve with Parmesan cheese.
Gnocchi has always been a family traditional meal in our household for years. It's one of those recipes I remember from childhood. I just finished a Gnocchi post myself. I'll have to give your sauce a try, it sounds really good. Hope your enjoying your holidays. Happy New Year!
That is right up my alley. As soon as I get my hands on some gnocchi I'll have to give this a try.
What a delicious dish! Looks so hearty and comforting. Yum.
I love a good Bolognese sauce and this sounds delicious. Gnocchi are really very easy to make. I perfer mine made with ricotta--they're very light. You might want to give them a try sometime.
That is very interesting Arlene, I never heard of gnocchi with ricotta added. I will give it a try next time. Thanks for the tip.
I love bolognese and just recently had it at a restaurant served with gnocchi and really enjoyed the combination. I will definitely give this recipe a try.

Organization gives grants to food distributors
Written by silvercitydailypress on December 3, 2013
Single Socks, a Silver City nonprofit, has awarded $23,000 in grants to seven Grant County anti-hunger organizations.
Since opening in April 2009, Single Socks has given away more than $122,000 to local food pantries, soup kitchens, schools and other food distribution organizations that serve families in need, according to a news release.
Jeff Goin, Single Socks founder, said the accomplishment is a group effort.
The following organizations were awarded grants:
• Grant County Community Food Pantry (coordinated by The Volunteer Center) — $4,000 for purchase of food for distribution to families in need. On a monthly basis, the GCCFP serves 200 families.
• Mobile Food Pantry to serve the Gila- Cliff area — $2,500. On a monthly basis, the pantry is expected to serve more than 50 families.
• Commons Production Garden ( operated by The Volunteer Center) — $ 4,000 for partial funding of a salary for a qualified farmer to work one- half acre of garden land at The Commons. The project will enable the distribution of fresh produce by the GCCFP.
• Silver City Gospel Mission — $4,000 to improve the quality and quantity of food served at the mission's soup kitchen and distributed through the Gospel Mission's food box program. The Gospel Mission feeds from 40 to 120 people daily in the soup kitchen and distributes 325 emergency food boxes each month.
• First Presbyterian Church — $1,200 for food cards for needy families and individuals. Between April and September, the church issued $3,200 worth of food cards.
• Children of Grant County — $4,000 to stock a food pantry for homeless Silver High students. During the 2012-13 school year, COGC distributed approximately $10,000 in food to hungry high school students.
• Aldo Leopold High School and Middle School — $4,000 to assist students from qualifying households with the purchase of nutritious lunches. The Lunch Brunch program helps 480 students pay for their lunches each month.

Albert Karaziwan And Semlex On The Congolese Passport Case
Saibu Baba
On justice and injustice
When injustice strikes, it often comes with the precision and subtlety of a sledgehammer. And when it is served through the thunderous mega-bullhorn of a large news organization like Reuters, you can fight it, but some of the stench that sticks to your reputation can do irretrievable harm.
It was thus on this wintry day in Brussels in December of 2017 that all hell broke loose for innovative and widely-acclaimed Belgian company Semlex, and its CEO, Albert Karaziwan. And while Karaziwan and his company fight the prejudice and injustice ferociously, Reuters can be overwhelming in its reach and clout.
Flagrant Defamation
Someone once said: "You know what happens when you slide your cheek on the edge of a sharp razor blade? Yes! That's how it feels when you slide your dreams into the palms of toxic and negative people!"
First defamed is Albert Karaziwan: In his early 60's and father of four, this well-known entrepreneur lives in Brussels, having founded and run several reputable businesses internationally, notably in real estate, and, more recently, in biometric passports.
Next is his company, Semlex. Created in 1992, Semlex relies on a broad experience in development, integration, operational management and supply of high technology systems in identification and authentication. Semlex is a trail-blazing world leader in biometric passports and other high-security identification and official documents.
Reuters-Manufactured Intrigue
It all started in April 2017 with the publication by Reuters of an article written by reporter David Lewis and titled: "The costly biometric passports of the DRC". In it, Semlex is accused of selling to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) a passport that is the most expensive in the world, the heavy-handed undertone pointing at the prospect of bribes and corruption.
David Lewis then doubled down with the second article in December 2017, this time throwing ill-founded accusations at Semlex for activities in the Indian Ocean island nation of the Comores. The combination of these two articles became irresistible for other international media outlets, heightening the bashing and injustice suffered by Semlex and its CEO, Albert Karaziwan.
To compound matters
The roll-out of the biometric passports did not help at all. Problems erupted in Kinshasa, capital of the DRC, on September 15, 2017, when the DRC's deputy foreign minister announced the invalidation of the then-prevalent semi-biometric passports, giving citizens until October 16, i.e., one month, to change over to new biometric passports.
This understandably generated a massive outcry, particularly from the government's opposition groups, on the basis that:
• The new passports would cost a so-called "exorbitant" price of $185
• And all of this at a time when the country was in the midst of an economic downturn that threatened its very fabric
Finger-Pointing with Zero Evidence
To start with, the contract that the DRC delivered followed a protracted, transparent, and internationally supervised bid pitting Semlex against well-established rivals Zetes, Gemalto, and Oberthur. In fact, several media in the know reported a far-reaching association between the finger-pointing reporter David Lewis and archrival Zetes.
In January 2016, and unlike the other bidders, Semlex won the bid "fair and square" as a result of a cost-plus, turnkey proposal that offered the DRC what is known as a "build, operate, and transfer" (BOT) relationship. This included the hugely appealing prospect of the procuring government not having to lay out any upfront fees or infrastructure costs.
How "Expensive" Were the Passports?
Under the terms of the contract, the DRC retains $120 of the $185 cost per biometric passport, with the balance of $65 reverting to Semlex. Against this, Semlex pays for the project's entire infrastructure, including the setting up of 26 passport-issuing regional centers, and equipping 60 DRC embassies and consulates worldwide for the registration and issuing of passports.
But besides what Semlex offers in terms of initial outlays and management and maintenance expenditures, the biometric passport itself is a state-of-the-art high-security instrument that is quasi-impossible to forge or duplicate. It is thus by necessity more expensive than the run-of-the-mill type of passport that is used almost universally. In view of past problems the DRC had encountered with passport-forging operations, it was the government itself that had sought such a high-end product.
What other Passports Cost
Leave it to other African journals to pursue matters regarding the Semlex, Albert Karaziwan, and the issue of the biometric passport. "Jeune Afrique", a widely-read Tunisian publication, explains that the most expensive African passport belongs to Chad, at the cost of 228 euros, versus the DRC's 168 euros.
"Le Vif," another journal affiliated to the French "L'Express," goes further than that, asserting that in fact, the world's most expensive passport belongs right there to Belgium, costing some 40% more than that of the DRC.
It is lastly worth noting that both the Belgian and Chadian passports are not of the biometric kind.
What Bribes?
The rumor-mongers had it that folks at the top of the DRC government pocketed vast amounts of money from the Semlex award. They claimed to have evidence of these sums having ended up in a Dubai bank. That reasoning, however, failed to account for the fact that there were no upfront fees in the Semlex deal to cover such bribes. So, where would the bribes have come from?
A case of a Sore Loser?
As has already been alluded to, it is not easy to buck the reach and sway of Reuters. What Reuters says is usually carried by hundreds of other publications worldwide, the ripple effect constituting a tsunami of innuendo and accusation that transcend the fact that they have zero evidence-based facts for corroboration.
It would perhaps take another Reuters of sorts to fire-up the frequently reported allegations connecting reporter David Lewis to Semlex-competitor Zetes, and Zetes itself to significant political hubs in both Brussels and Kinshasa. Was all this fracas a case of a sore loser?

Irish Brown Bread, Thyme for Cooking easy and delicious batter bread.
This is so easy, I make it often, especially in winter, to go with soup or just to have with a cup of tea on a cold wintry afternoon.
Preheat the oven to 400F (200C). I use an 8.5" (22cm) round baking pan with 2" (5cm) sides for this.
Butter the pan, then 'flour' it: put about 1 tbs flour in the pan and tilt the pan so that the flour covers all of the buttered area. Any excess just tip into the sink.
Put all dry ingredients into a deep bowl.
Add the butter and cut in with a pastry cutter, fork or 2 knives until well blended.
Stir the yogurt and milk together, then stir the mixture into the flour and mix well.
Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove from oven and tip out of pan on to a wire rack and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes.
Slice and serve or allow to cool completely.
Note: I normally cut the loaf in half; we eat half and freeze half for later in the week. It keeps well for 3 days without freezing.

\section{Introduction}
Chemically peculiar (CP) variables are spread between late-B and early-F spectral types, and thus contain various stars with effective temperatures greater than 6,500 K \cite{bib1}. These variables are comprised mostly of Ap and Bp stars, which differ from other types having the same temperature by their abnormal chemical compositions and slow rotations. The reason for the peculiarity is an under-abundance of solar-like elements, as well as an overabundance of both metal and rare-earth elements across their surfaces \cite{bib2}. Magnetic fields, radiative acceleration, and atomic diffusion determine the surface distribution of elements \cite{bib3}, and lead them to be present in the form of spots and rings on the surface. Along with rotation, these non-uniformly distributed regions cause periodic variations in magnetic fields, line profile, and energy distribution, as well as in photometric brightness (oblique-rotator model). The periods of these variations are generally between a day and a week. Depending on the slow rotation, surface spot regions can remain stable for decades. Such a situation enables remarkably accurate calculations of surface distribution, rotation period, and rotational breaking mechanisms. However, only very few of the CP stars discovered in our galaxy and others exhibit periodic variations, and less than one-tenth of these have been observed for scientific investigation. In order to study this type of stars, accurate observations are needed (accuracy $>$ 0.005 mag \cite{bib2}). The high-precision instruments of the {\sl STEREO} satellite are a quite suitable, space-based source, since seasonal and four-year {\sl STEREO} observations provide a precision of $2.0 \times10^{-4}$ and $7.0 \times 10^{-5}$ mmag, respectively.

\section{Literature Review}

The photometric variability of V473\,Tau (A0Si, V = 7.26 mag) was first detected by Burke et al. \cite{bib4}. They calculated the period of this variation as around 1.39(2) days, but this period value produced a light curve (LC) with a scattered maximum. Hence, Rakosch and Fiedler \cite{bib5} noted that their observations were more adaptable with a double period. Subsequently, Maitzen \cite{bib6} derived a rotation period of 2.7795(1) days, which was indeed twice that of previous values. As a result of the double period, two minima and maxima having different levels were formed in the LC; this situation was explained in terms of the different chemical regions on the surface. Most importantly, this was a significant case since a double wave structure was not a common condition among Si stars. In a recent study, Jerzykiewicz \cite{bib7} investigated rotation periods and found a value of 1.4068541(29) days in U, B, and V bands. However, he could not completely determine the origin of the variabilities as he was unable to conclude whether the star was an oblique rotator or a g-mode pulsator.

\section{STEREO Data and Data Analysis}

The data were provided from the HI-1A instrument on-board the {\sl STEREO-A} satellite. The HI-1A is capable of observing background stars with the magnitude of $12^m$ or brighter for a maximum of 20 days and a useful stellar photometer which covers the region around the ecliptic (20\% of the sky) with the field of view of $20^{\circ} \times 20^{\circ}$. The nominal exposure time of the camera is 40 seconds, and putting 30 exposures together on board, a 40-minute integrated cadence has been obtained to transmit for each HI-1 image \cite{bib8}. Therefore, the Nyquist frequency of the data is around 18~c~d$^{-1}$. LCs mostly affected by solar activities were cleaned with a $3^{rd}$ order polynomial fit. Observation points greater than $3 \sigma$ were clipped with a pipeline written in the Interactive Data Language (IDL) (For a more detailed description of the data preparation, refer to Sangaralingam \& Stevens \cite{bib9} and Whittaket et al. \cite{bib10}). The LC of V473\,Tau presented a sinusoidal characteristic due to spot modulation on the stellar surface. Therefore, all analyses were performed using the Lomb-Scargle (LS) algorithm since it is more sensitive to such variations. To determine a model of the sinusoidal LCs, the Levenberg-Marquardt Optimization method was applied, and the best fit was obtained after 5000 iterations. After the derivation of the model LC, random Gaussian noise with the mean of zero and the sigma value, which was determined from the cleaned curve, was produced and added to the model. This process was repeated 500 times. The most accurate frequencies and their uncertainties were assessed using the Monte-Carlo simulation algorithm. The results were compared to those derived from the Phase Dispersion Minimization (PDM) method and Period04. To perform O-C calculations and to investigate period variabilities over years, the best extremum times  were obtained from the seasonal LCs, and were put together with data from the literature.

\section{Results and Discussion}

In this research, we obtained four consecutive years of data between 2007 and 2010. As reported by other researchers, all the LCs had explicit periodicity. Individual LS, PDM and Period04 analyses of the seasonal curves showed a frequency at around 0.71 c~d$^{-1}$ (Table~\ref{tab:table1}). Furthermore, we detected the existence of another strong peak at approximately 1.40 c~d$^{-1}$ (0.71 days) on the LS periodogram (Figure~\ref{fig:figure1}, top right).

Combining the four-year data, the precise rotation period of the star (0.710818 c~d$^{-1}$) was determined with the help of the LS method, and the main LC was plotted based on this value (Figure~\ref{fig:figure1}, top left). Accordingly, the folded LC was clearly formed by a maximum and a broad minimum. The maximum was quite strong and had a peaked top. Moreover, there was a barely detectable bump in the middle of the minimum, which is probably the cause of the peak at 1.40 c~d$^{-1}$ on the LS periodogram. Also, we produced a folded LC using the double {\sl STEREO} period since Maitzen \cite{bib6} noted that his observations were compatible with the period value of 2.7795 days. We derived a relatively clean LC with two minima and maxima. However, since the consecutive structures appeared similar to each other, we assumed that the period value of 0.710818 c~d$^{-1}$ was the full rotation period.

To investigate a possible period variation, the best maximum times of the seasonal LCs were derived (HJD24554583.4049, 24554922.4465, 24555274.1565, 24554241.5599), and these values were combined with the epochs from the literature. The archival epochs given as JD were converted to HJD. Based on Figure~\ref{fig:figure1} (bottom), we found out that the O-C diagram of the star exhibited a period decrease with the variation rate of around $-1.27(30) \times 10^{-6}$ d~y$^{-1}$ or $-0.11(3)$ s~y$^{-1}$ (parabolic line). With the help of the LS period and the {\sl STEREO} maximum time having the smallest error value, we determined the light elements as:

\begin{equation}
\nonumber \\
HJD_{max} = 2454583.4049(129)+ 1.406829(10) E - 2.44(58) \times 10^{-9} E^2 ~.
\end{equation}

Since this star was a single rotating variable, such a period decrease might most likely be explained by an acceleration in rotation after a magnetic braking. Using the period and its variation rate, the acceleration time-scale of the star ($\tau_{ACC} = P/\dot{P}$) was determined as $\tau_{ACC} = -1.11(63) \times 10^{6}$ yr. We also found the main sequence lifetime of the star ($\tau_{MS} = \tau_{\odot}~(M/M_{\odot})^{-2.5}$) as $\tau_{MS} = 9.26(1.25) \times 10^{8}$ yr (Table~2).

**Temperature, luminosity and mass values were adopted from Wraight et al. \protect\cite{bib14}. Radius and rotational velocities were estimated from the LS period, temperature, and luminosity values.
\label{tab:table2}
\end{table}

The variation in period of V473\,Tau ($\dot{P}/P$ in Table~2) is 10 times greater than that of the most massive CP stars given by Mikulasek et al. \cite{bib11}. In addition, its acceleration is nearly three orders of magnitude shorter than the main sequence lifetime. This, in turn, suggests that process of decrease in the period may be reversible. If so, the length of the cycle is roughly calculated as 92(11) yr (estimated by $T_{cyc} \sim P~\sqrt{2/\dot{P}}$; \cite{bib12}). Considering the fact that period variation processes may be reversible due to shorter acceleration time-scale than that of the main sequence lifetime, the rigid rotation hypothesis should be discarded and the differential rotation model should alternatively be discussed as expressed by Stepien \cite{bib13}. If a differential rotation is indeed in question for this star, the acceleration in the rotation may be interpreted as a consequence of torsional oscillations produced by meridional circulations being in interaction with a magnetic field, and of rotational braking in outer layers caused by angular momentum loss via magnetically-confined stellar wind \cite{bib13}.

TRANSCRIPT


For me, this idea of drawing the dots, duplicating, rotating and making a rectangle is beautiful. The argument is powerful, it generalises neatly (to any size of a triangle), and it reveals why the answer is what it is.
Bill Maher's Overtime panel fires F-bombs at Milo Yiannopoulos!


I have decided to start a blog.
Not because it is the "in" thing to. Not because I want everyone in the world to know what I'm doing every second of the day.
I started a blog so I can have a place to publish my experiences. In business and in life. This blog will mainly be about my adventures as a young business person. I have been blessed and challenged with great entrepreneurial responsibility at a young age. I feel compelled to share the things I am learning with anyone who might benefit from hearing about my failures, successes, processes and hang ups.
I've never had an official "mentor," someone who took me under their wing and taught me how to do business. There are several business people I am close to and respect very much, but no one who has been particularly interested in developing me as a leader. And honestly, I've never purposefully sought a mentor relationship.
All of that to say that this blog will become a place where I can share with you what I'm learning and hopefully provide you with insight on your journey in business and in life. For me, it just helps to process things in written form.
I would tell you what to expect in my posts, but I'm really not sure what to expect myself. My inspiration and experiences ebb and flow, and so will this blog.
One thing that is constant about me…I always question the status quo.
Thank you for reading. I look forward to bringing you something (anything) of value.

Thalia Mitsi: Refereeing in Greece is sometimes an extreme sport
Posted on 6 March, 2014 by Jan ter Harmsel
"Refereeing in Greece is sometimes an extreme sport", says Thalia Mitsi in an interview with this refereeing blog. The Greek referee will use that experiences during the 2014 Algarve Cup. The tournament in Portugal which has just started is important for her on her way to reach the 2015 Women's World Cup in Canada.

Place of residence: Athens
International since: 2005
First international: Portugal-Belarus (11.05.2006)
Congratulations with your appointment for the Algarve Cup. In 2013 you officiated the 3rd place match. What do you expect from this year's tournament?
Thalia Mitsi: "I expect to have good performances, learn a lot, improve as a referee and enjoy football!"
How important are tournaments like the Algarve Cup for referees?
Thalia Mitsi: "Tournaments like the Algarve Cup are not only important testing grounds for players but also for referees. We go through a workshop and some matches and we are tested and evaluated in various elements. This year's Algarve Cup makes also part of the preparation for the prospective candidate referees and assistant referees for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup Canada 2014 and the FIFA Women's World Cup in Canada next year."
Last Women's World Cup you were a fourth official. You were at the Olympics in London. What are your goals for the next World Cup and how are you trying to reach them?
Thalia Mitsi: "My goal is to be appointed for the next FIFA World Cup. I am working hard on that by training hard both physically and mentally on a regular basis, officiating games and studying different match situations. This requires a lot of effort, discipline, dedication and of course balance between refereeing, work and personal life."
There's not much information in English about refereeing in Greece. What level do you referee there? Do you expect to reach men's highest level (Super League) soon?
Thalia Mitsi: "I have been refereeing in the Greek Men's Second Division since 2008. I have also been appointed as a fourth official several times in the First Division (Super League). Only God knows whether I will be a main referee soon at this level!"
A Greek referee told me once he was very surprised I never got punched as a referee in The Netherlands. How's refereeing in Greece?
Thalia Mitsi: "Refereeing in Greece can sometimes be an extreme sport 🙂 There is a lot of aggression in some matches. And unfortunately violence is one of the problems of Greek football… It should not be a war, football is just a game!"

What are your future goals in refereeing?
Thalia Mitsi: "I want to continue developing and have good performances as a referee. 100% correct critical decisions is my goal for every match I referee."
What advice do you have for ambitious (young) referees?
Thalia Mitsi: "My advice to them would be to work hard and dream! And to have passion, determination, patience, discipline, faith, integrity, poise and confidence."
