Tag: City Councilor Michelle Wu
Michelle Wu on historic Boston mayoral race: "It wasn't my vision on the ballot, it was ours, together"!– OnMyWay Mobile App User
City Councilor Michelle Wu will become Boston's next mayor after her more moderate challenger conceded, CNN projects, making her the first woman and person of color elected to the top post in the city's history.
"From every corner of our city, Boston has spoken. We are ready to meet this moment. We are ready to become a Boston for everyone," Wu said to a crowd of supporters Tuesday night. "I want to be clear, it wasn't my vision on the ballot, it was ours, together."
City Councilor Annissa Essaibi George conceded the Boston mayoral race with a large share of the vote still waiting to be counted.
"I want to offer a great big congratulations to Michelle Wu," Essaibi George said to a crowd of supporters at her election night party. "She's the first woman and first Asian American elected to be mayor of Boston."
Wu is set to succeed acting mayor Kim Janey, Boston's first Black and female mayor. Janey, then-City Council President, was next in line to lead the city when Boston Mayor Marty Walsh was named President Joe Biden's Labor secretary in January.
In the weeks leading up to the election, polls consistently showed Wu with a clear lead over Essaibi George, also a woman of color.
From the beginning, this election was a remarkable departure from Boston's history. Uncontested mayoral races, where there is no incumbent seeking reelection, are hard to come by in Boston and often draw crowded primaries in the Democrat-heavy city. And in this year's unaffiliated primary, every serious contender was a person of color, and most of them were women.
Championing hallmark policies like a Green New Deal for Boston, Wu racked up support from high-profile Massachussetts progressives, such as Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Sens. Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren. Pressley, who represents a portion of Boston, also served on the Boston City Council with both Wu and Essaibi George.
Wu ran on a progressive platform, including calling for a fare-free transit system.
While both candidates locked down support from many of Boston's powerful unions, Essaibi George touted endorsements from a number of local unions such as the Boston Firefighters, Boston EMS, electrical workers, steel workers, Massachusetts Nurses Association and more.
Wu's support included 1199 SEIU United Healthcare Workers East and the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority unions.
Yet a large part of Wu's support came from more progressive organizations, such as the Working Families Party, Sunrise Movement Boston, the local chapter of the national youth-led climate group and Planned Parenthood Massachusetts.
While both candidates sought to distance themselves from the familiar progressive vs. moderate divide in the Democratic party, outside sources added some pressure. Leading up to Election Day, a pro-Essaibi George super PAC ran an ad claiming that Wu wanted to "defund the police." The Wu campaign called it "dishonest and desperate."

Apolipoprotein E epsilon4 allele is associated with Parkinson disease risk in a Mexican Mestizo population.
Mov Disord. 2007 Feb 15; 22(3):417-20.MD
We investigated the association between apolipoprotein E (APOE) alleles and genotypes and Parkinson disease (PD) in 229 unrelated Mexican Mestizo PD patients and 229 controls. Results showed that both APOE-epsilon4 allele and APOE epsilon4/epsilon3 genotype are associated with PD (OR = 1.736, P = 0.011; OR = 1.688, P = 0.019, respectively). Mean age at onset of PD was not associated to any APOE allele or genotype, but was significantly earlier in familial PD when compared to sporadic cases (P = 0.025).

After three weeks in Glasgow under the rain, I headed towards Tombreck, my very last stop before the Scottish Permaculture Gathering (the end of my journey)!
As you may remember, my last article on the Concrete Garden, an urban permaculture project, argued for a stronger standpoint on the subject of land and public space.
A festival is a funny thing. A celebration, an escape, an alternative, a way of life. Many things rolled up into a musically charged programme of fun, frolics and serious chats. Often in a field.
What struck me about the Green Gathering was its commitment. Appropriately billed as a 'gathering', and free from the dictates of advertising, the Green Gathering felt like a genuine attempt at saying, "Oi! Another world is possible and look-y right here!".
"There is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather." So said John Ruskin. Although I've always suspected that Ruskin made this observation from the comfort of a warm, dry drawing room, the idea does square nicely with permaculture ideas. And on the day of the Derbyshire Ecocentre's Summer Fair, the weather was, well... different.
My journey as a Permaculture designer and educator has taken many directions. There have been times however when I have questioned the direction I was taking, leaving me wondering not just if I was capable of becoming a designer but more importantly whether being a Permaculture teacher was for me.

Review: Honest Pint Theatre Company's Production of 'The Herd' is Almost Too Much To Bear
By Kim Jackson on January 30, 2019 • ( 1 )
By Kim Jackson
Rory Kinnear's first play, The Herd, drew rave responses when it was performed in London and at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre. And it will elicit similar reactions with Honest Pint Theatre Company's production, directed by David Henderson. This show was written for actors to shine as they confront each other over family responsibility in the care of a severely disabled child. Ultimately Kinnear's script begs for understanding and empathy for this family's struggles.
The drama opens with a harried mother, Carol, attempting to pull together the last bits for her son Andy's 21st birthday party. Family members are expected, of course, including the guest of honor, but things start going wrong from the beginning. Problems first abound with Andy's transportation from the facility where he resides, as well as with his hired caregiver, who seems to undermine Carol's every request. Carol's daughter Claire arrives with tons of attitude, and the appearance of Carol's aging parents, supportive but judgemental, add to the stress of the situation. Toss in the unexpected arrival of an errant ex-husband, Ian, who abandoned the family many years earlier, and the introduction of Claire's new boyfriend, Mark, who may wonder what he has signed on for, and the tension is inevitable.
And this family drama is thick with it, permeating every interaction like an odorless gas that causes damage before you are fully aware of its effects. Each character challenges choices made by another, and the responses bounce among acerbic barbs, dark humor, and angry tirades. Simmering resentments ratchet up the tension while underlying guilt, reflecting less than positive thoughts about Andy, temper the mood. This family is in survival-mode.
Carol, the matriarch of this 'herd,' who has been Andy's primary caregiver since birth, is played with fierce passion by the veteran actor Susannah Hough. She brings a remarkable believability and sympathy to a mother caught in a perfect storm of having sacrificed through the years without feeling recognized for it. Her daughter Claire believes she has not only been neglected by her mother's focus on Andy, but also believes that she has contributed a great deal to his care, a fact vehemently disputed by Carol. Jess Barbour's Claire is confrontational from the beginning and seems to fall back into the role of a rebellious teenager. She refuses to share information unless excessively questioned, and then explodes about past perceived injustices. While she is sweetly caring with her grandparents, Claire is as evasive with her nosey grandmother as she is with her mother.
Carol's parents, Brian and Patricia, offer concern for both the welfare of their daughter and grandson while also subtly conveying their many frustrations of the circumstances. They bear witness to Carol's struggles and yet are powerless to alleviate the burdens. Lenore Field's Patricia competently conveys emotional range in the role of a meddling judgemental grandparent, without falling too far into a stereotype. Paul Newell's Brian is humorous and wise, offering up some of the most telling lines of the play.
The other two unplanned guests at the party, Ian, the estranged ex-husband of Carol, and Mark, Claire's new boyfriend, offer contrasting models of support. Ian, played with slick self-awareness by the very talented Simon Kaplan, battles exquisitely with his former wife over their shared past, while saving his underlying guilt for the arguments he is forced to have with his daughter. Claire has not forgiven her father for walking out on them and directs most of her pent up fury at him. Mark, played with calm affability by Daniel Wilson, offers the right combination of subtle wit and comic relief. His presence in Claire's life offers up the most hope for some happiness in this family's future.
Through the capable direction of Henderson, the audience experiences the intensity that only a family with a complicated long history of caring for someone with a disability can convey. They communicate through both anger and dark humor as if this is the only way in which they can connect with one another. In fact, the only moments they do come together, which are too few and far between, are when they zero in on the emotional toll Carol's love for her son has taken on her and the impact that has had on the rest of her family. The meticulousness of the living room/kitchen set, designed by Tab May, also reflects Carol's attention to detail, to wanting to be in control of a situation that eludes her at every turn.
While parts of the story are predictable, and often the movement of characters feels visibly contrived to engineer conversations between different family members, the tension from the stress over Andy remains palatable to the end. There are moments of lightness, particularly in reference to aging made by the grandparents, as well as Mark's bemused expression as he bears witness to the family battle. But the mood overall is contentious only moving into the somber as these characters voice some very discomforting truths. All of their lives have been affected by Andy, and while the audience breathes a veritable sigh of relief at the close, the anguish has not ended for this group. As Brian so succinctly notes, "rotten sort of lottery, life."
Honest Pint Theatre Company's production of The Herd runs through February 10th at the North Raleigh Arts and Creative Theatre. For more information visit: http://www.nract.org/.

Now is the time for getting Blaze and Kelly on the map with the help of a music video!!! Yep! It's true! It's SO important. It's not our ego talking, we need film. Why? We've been missing the boat on major shows because we do not have a worthy enough video that captures what we do. (I know right?) How can this be? We've been doing this for how long?
It comes down to this, you get what you pay for…yep! Just like most things, if you don't go professional…it won't BE professional. No surprise there huh?
So in that…I am firing off a "Kickstarter Champain". If you click on this: KICKSTARTER you will be able to see EXACTLY what we plan to do. We have rewards for you too if you decide to pledge. We REALLY need your assistance with this.
There will be breakfast before hand that is amazing from 10-2 with bottomless mimosas & cocktails at the 365 bar as well.
This is going to be a VERY special event and we'd LOVE for you to join us. You will see the "behind the scene" view of it being made right in front of you!
We are putting out a jar for suggested donations ($20) but no one will be turned away on the count of proceeds.
What do we need to raise and why?
Can you see it adding up? A great idea turns into a HEAP of money! Ha! Isn't that the case?! Kickstarter is a program that helps fund things safely, so…I put our mark at $5000, though…if you do the math you will see I will take MUCH more than that. Here's the catch…if you, "Miss your Mark" you get ZERO! This is because people deserve to know if the project was fully funded and if their rewards will come their way or not. There will be NO CHARGE to ANYONE if the program is not FULLY FUNDED. That means Mo and I will be taking out a big loan, selling some things, loosing more weight to try to "kickstart" our career as self-employed independent artists! Ha!!!
I ask you this…has our music ever moved you? Have you been touched by a show, a song, a hello from one of us? Has it lifted you? Made you think? Made you feel? Got you closer to someone? Got you closer to yourself? Turned over a new leaf? Turned your life in a new direction? What DOES music do for you??? In that…we would be ever so grateful to receive any pledges you might have to offer.
PLEASE TELL YOUR FREINDS! If 800 people put in $10 bucks…we'd have our goal met in a millasecond! Dreams would come true! Indeed! The time is now! It scares the absolute ba-jeebees out of me…but when WON'T it? "Do it anyway" I always say!
Thank you so much for your love and support. My computer was centering all my paragraphs being weird as I wrote this. Now that I'm at the end I finally got it to work right. Perhaps it means that this letter comes to you from the very "center" place in my heart and soul! I believe in YOU and I believe in US! Let's make it happen TOGETHER!!!
HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL AS WELL! ENJOY!!!
Off to Oregon and DVD Update!

In Guinea, radio helps school children catch up on learning
Kept out of school by the Ebola epidemic, children in Guinea are making up for lost time through a series of lessons broadcast on radio.
FORÉCARIAH, Guinea / HONG KONG, 10 July 2015 – One of the hidden impacts of the Ebola outbreak in Guinea is that children have missed out on six months of learning – schools did not reopen after the summer recess, instead staying shut to help prevent the spread of the disease.
Schools eventually opened in January, and the most recent Government statistics show that 1.6 million pupils are attending lessons at primary schools around the country, or about 92 per cent of the number present at the same time in the previous academic year.
To help children catch up on the education they missed, the Ministry of Education – in partnership with the National Institute of Research and Pedagogic Actions (INRAP), Search for Common Ground, an NGO, and UNICEF – has developed an emergency radio education series to run as a month-long pilot project in Forécariah.
The series offers catch-up lessons in mathematics and French. For children who are in school, the lessons build on what they have learned in class; for children not in school, they offer an alternative to classroom learning.
"As the current school year began late due to the Ebola outbreak, radio education is definitely an essential way not only to reinforce pupils' learning, but also to provide psychosocial support and community mobilization against the spread of Ebola," says Sarhane Khamis, Education Adviser at UNICEF.

"Radio education is definitely an essential way not only to reinforce pupils' learning, but also to provide psychosocial support and community mobilization against the spread of Ebola," says UNICEF Education Adviser Sarhane Khamis.
The series debuted in four districts of Forécariah in May: Farmoréah, Kaliah, Moussayah and Sikhourou. The districts were chosen because many of the most recent cases of Ebola were found there, and because school attendance has historically been lower there than in other parts of the country.
"Due to the magnitude of the epidemic, many parents are continuing to refuse to send their children to school in Forécariah," says Mr. Khamis. "And that severely affects education enrolment rates in the prefecture."
Listening centre
At 6:15 p.m. on an evening in June, 50 or so children were gathered at a village "listening centre" to tune into the broadcast.
"Many of the children have radios at home, so they listen to the programme there," says Dioubaté Banfa, who works for the prefectural department of education. "However, the benefit of coming to the listening centre is that their teacher is here, and she goes over what they have learned afterwards."
This evening, the radio programme focuses on the correct way to offer greetings in French, along with some basic counting.
The children listen intently and count along with the host.
After the show is over, the children's teacher, Djeneba Camera, tests the children's knowledge by asking them about what they have learned.
Hands shoot up when she asks who wants to come to the front and count up to 30. Fatou steps up to the front and gets a round of applause when she competes the task successfully.
"It's a fun way of learning," says Dioubaté Banfa, who works for the prefectural department of education.
"The programmes are very useful," says Arabé Condé, the prefectural director of education. "They really help develop listening skills and speaking skills."
Another channel of learning
In addition to French and mathematics, the programmes include a segment about Ebola: how to treat it, how to prevent its spread, and the need for good hygiene and hand washing with soap. Today's message is about the importance of not hiding sick people and calling the emergency hotline number if a sick person is discovered.
"It's really important to involve kids in prevention," Mr. Banfa says. "They will go home and remind their parents that they must wash their hands."
The community radio station in Forécariah, which is supported by UNICEF, is also broadcasting a seven-minute programme every morning that focuses solely on Ebola.
"It's a fun way of learning," says Mr. Banfa. "Of course, we spoke to them before about Ebola, but this is another channel of learning. The children have much better hygiene now; they are a lot cleaner. And they know if they follow the hygiene rules, they will be protected from the disease."
The broadcasts are expected to benefit more than 30,000 children and young people attending classes at 329 schools in Forécariah, and at least the same number of out-of-school children.

The card was originally to be highlighted by a Steel cage match between Ric Flair and Lex Luger for the WCW World Championship, and this match was heavily promoted on WCW TV. However, two weeks before the show, then-WCW Executive Vice President Jim Herd fired Flair over a contract dispute, stripping him of the title in the process. At the time, champions left a $25,000 security deposit that would be refunded to them (along with any accumulated interest on the deposit) once they lost the title and Flair was expecting to get his back as he was no longer employed by WCW. The company did not give Flair back his deposit, and he took possession of the belt and later brought it to the World Wrestling Federation with him and appeared with it on television.
Meanwhile, WCW had to commission a new world championship belt. However, the new belt could not be readied in time for the event, so the company was forced to improvise. A Championship Wrestling from Florida title belt that was in the possession of Dusty Rhodes was used and a metal plate with "WCW World Heavyweight Champion" was attached to the front.
Dark match: The Junkyard Dog defeated Black Bart (12:45)
JYD pinned Bart.
P.N. News and Bobby Eaton defeated Steve Austin and Terrance Taylor (with Lady Blossom) in a Capture-The-Flag Scaffold match (6:19)
Eaton grabbed Austin/Taylor's flag to win.
This stipulation was added the day of the show, as the match was intended to be a traditional scaffold match.
The Diamond Studd (with Diamond Dallas Page) defeated Tom Zenk (9:00)
Studd pinned Zenk after a bridging belly-to-back suplex.
Ron Simmons defeated Oz (with Merlin the Wizard) (7:55)
Simmons pinned Oz after a shoulderblock.
Richard Morton (with Alexandra York) defeated Robert Gibson (17:03)
Morton pinned Gibson after hitting him with York's laptop computer while referee Bill Alfonso had his back turned.
The Yellow Dog defeated Johnny B. Badd (with Teddy Long) by disqualification (6:00)
Badd was disqualified when Long interfered to try to unmask the Dog; had he done so, Brian Pillman (who was wrestling under the mask) would not be allowed to wrestle in WCW again.
Big Josh defeated Black Blood (with Kevin Sullivan) in a Lumberjack match (5:39)
Josh pinned Black Blood after Dustin Rhodes hit Blood with an axe.
Dustin Rhodes and The Southern Boys (Tracy Smothers and Steve Armstrong) defeated The Fabulous Freebirds (Badstreet, Jimmy Garvin, Michael Hayes) (with Big Daddy Dink) in an Elimination match (17:10)
Hayes pinned Armstrong after he and Badstreet hit a double DDT on Armstrong (13:49)
Hayes was disqualified after backdropping Smothers over the top rope (14:04)
Garvin pinned Smothers after he and Badstreet hit a double DDT on Smothers (15:16)
Rhodes pinned Garvin after a lariat (15:24)
Rhodes pinned Badstreet after a bulldog to win the match (17:10)
El Gigante (with a bunch of midgets) defeated One Man Gang (with Kevin Sullivan) (6:13)
Gigante pinned One Man Gang with a clothesline to the back of the head.
Nikita Koloff defeated Sting in a Russian Chain match (11:38)
Koloff won by touching the final turnbuckle before Sting could.
WCW United States Champion Lex Luger defeated Barry Windham in a Steel Cage match to win the vacant WCW World Heavyweight Championship (12:25)
Luger pinned Windham after a piledriver on orders from Harley Race.
The match was originally supposed to pit Luger against Ric Flair prior to Flair's firing.
After the match, Luger turned heel and took on Race and Mr. Hughes as his managers.
Rick Steiner defeated Arn Anderson and Paul E. Dangerously in a handicap steel cage match (2:08)
Steiner pinned Dangerously after a Steiner Line.
The match was originally supposed to pit The Steiner Brothers and Missy Hyatt against Anderson, Dangerously, and Barry Windham, but plans changed after Flair's firing and Scott Steiner suffering an injury; Windham was moved to the title match against Luger and the match became a standard tag match.
Before the match Dick Murdoch and Dick Slater forcibly took Hyatt backstage, turning the match into a handicap match.

Can you tell me a bit about your education and career path so far?
For my undergraduate degree I studied political and social thought at the University of Virginia, which is basically a degree that combines political theory with history and literature. While I was at UVA, I worked for the school newspaper, the Cavalier Daily, for most of my time there. Then I worked in communications for Hillary Clinton's first campaign, and briefly at the New York Times in New York City. Then I went to Google, in 2009, and I've been working there ever since.
I got my MBA at NYU at night—I attended part-time, and graduated in 2015. I specialized in macroeconomics and management, and I did that over two and a half years; it's a full MBA, but you just take your classes at night or on weekends. You can do as quickly or slowly as want, up to five to six years, I believe. I wanted to do mine pretty quickly, which meant I had to do a lot of classwork and weekend classes and more or less not take breaks throughout the year.
How and when did you get interested in working in technology?
I never imagined myself working at a tech company when I was in college. I definitely thought I was going to be working in either politics or journalism. The real story of why I moved to New York was that my then-girlfriend got into law school at Columbia, said 'I'm moving to New York,' and I said 'Okay, that sounds good.' I was actually unemployed for a couple of months during that transition phase. When I got the New York Times gig, it seemed more like what I was expecting to do. But a friend was working for Google at the time, and said 'you should come here.' At that point I really admired the company, although it was hard to imagine what I would do there. But I got my first job there as an assistant for a couple of engineering directors. And then once I was inside Google I looked for teams who were working with subjects that I cared a lot about—international security, working with vulnerable populations, defending human rights. And there wasn't really a team at Google that combined all those things in one place that I could easily find.
Nine months after I started working there, Eric Schmidt hired Jared Cohen to create a team called Google Ideas, which eventually became Jigsaw; I was 4th hire on that team. Getting there wasn't so straightforward; as soon as I found out that Eric had hired Jared, I figured out where he was sitting, marched over, and introduced myself. He said, 'well I don't have any budget or headcount, I can't hire you, but if you want to volunteer, you can do that.' Google has a tradition of allowing you to volunteer part of your time to projects you care about. And because at the time I worked for two engineering directors who had offices on two separate floors, no one knew where I really was, so I just sort of moved my office into Jared's office. I kind of benefitted from corporate squatter's rights.
Do you think you needed an MBA for your job? How does your MBA supplement what you're doing now?
I don't think I needed one; no one says, "you need to get an MBA." I got one because I wanted to go to graduate school—I wanted to learn in a formal environment, and have a kind of structure around getting smarter. I was also a small business owner at the time—my college buds and I started a small coffee shop, and I wanted to learn how to do that better, be a better entrepreneur, business owner, and I wanted to put that process in context of a formal MBA curriculum. I thought I'd learned a lot just by starting the business, but it was really helpful to put a lot of those lessons in context of other lessons people learned creating and running businesses. The MBA also made me better understand what things were going on around me while working at a big company like Google—gave me context, better resources of the decisions that were being made, and allowed me to study rigorously things like macro-economic trends, financial crises, and how markets operate, how organizations like Google participates in all that. I'm really glad I got my MBA while working at Google; it gave me such an incredible place to not just apply what I was learning, but also to steer that knowledge into what I was doing in the future.
Do you feel there's a lot of focus on technology in MBA programs? Were a lot of your classmates angling towards a career in technology?
Every business school kind of has its own angle and reputation, and NYU is known for being a finance-heavy school because of its location and faculty. I was a bit of a rarity there working in technology. I'd say that many were getting MBA for a really specific purpose—needing it within their organization, to get out of their current field, or pivot somewhere else. I'd say that most of my classmates still worked in finance in one way or other.
Do you have any advice for MBA students looking to get into the industry?
I would say that even if you're not considering getting into tech as an MBA, spend some time getting to understand the industry—the life cycle of a tech product, how it gets made, the relationship between software engineering and product management—because I think that even if you're not interested in delving into the industry per se, that whole sector is going to be increasingly relevant to all other sectors. People with some fluency in how it works are going to be better equipped to work in other industries.
Also, for people who are interested in getting a job in big tech company, don't let the perfect role be the enemy of a good role. I talk to a lot of people who say 'oh there's only one job I'd consider at X company,' with an overwrought idea of what they're going to do there. That wasn't really my approach. I said 'let me just get in the door of the coolest place in the world and see how I can be useful there.' They're really dynamic. Once you get inside, you have a much better sense of what's going on. You're better equipped to make informed decisions about your career.


As many of you have now heard, Monday the U.S. Supreme court rejected an appeal by Democratic D.A.'s John Chisholm of Milwaukee, Dane County's Ismael Ozanne and Iowa County's Larry Nelson to revive the egregious attack on conservatives across the state AKA the John Doe investigation. WISN 1130-AM's Jay Weber called me early this morning to discuss my thoughts on it. You can listen to the segment here. It starts around 19:40.
You can also read my take on what it was like being part of this witch hunt here and here.
I am also currently involved in a class action lawsuit the MacIver Institute has filed against Chisholm, other employees of his office, and senior staff of the now- defunct Government Accountability Board for illegally seizing MacIver's digital records during the infamous John Doe II investigation. That includes years of my private emails and records. Read more about that here.


Natural health products (NHPs) are defined in the Natural Health Products Regulations (NHPR) as vitamins and minerals, herbal remedies, homeopathic medicines, traditional medicines such as Traditional Chinese Medicines, probiotics, and other products like amino acids and essential fatty acids.

Q: STM32F3DISCOVERY microcontroller (STM32F303VC) memory size The STM32F3DISCOVERY board's data brief indicates it features:

STM32F303VCT6 microcontroller featuring 256‑Kbyte Flash memory and 48‑Kbyte RAM in an LQFP100 package

However, the reference manual (RM0316) for STM32F303x6 et al. indicates only 16 Kbytes of SRAM (section 3.3) and 64 Kbytes of Flash memory (section 4.1) for STM32F303x6. The 256 and 48 Kbyte values match up with the STM32F303xB/C, which is also what is linked to on the board's data brief under Table 1's "Target STM32", even though it says "STM32F303VCT6".
I don't understand why there appears to be a discrepancy. Am I missing or misunderstanding something?

A: Latest version on the st website seems right: Reference Manual.
For the STM32F303VC:

STM32F303xB/C and STM32F358xC devices feature up to 48 Kbytes of static SRAM.

For the STM32F303x6:

STM32F303x6/8 and STM32F328x8 devices feature the same memory but only up to 16Kbytes of static SRAM

Maybe you have a old copy with a typo?

A: My problem was that I did not realize x was a single-letter substitution. I thought that in STM32F303x6, x replaced VCT. It does not. STM32F303VCT6 matches to STM32F303xC (x replaces V), and the T6 is a specific product in this line of chips.


Episode 19 – This week on the show, I take a look back at the R.C. Pro-Am franchise. I review R.C. Pro-Am for the NES, Super R.C. Pro-Am for the Game Boy, Championship Pro-Am for the Sega Genesis, and R.C. Pro-Am II for the NES. A lot of people don't realize that there was more than one game in this series, but all of the games are a lot of fun and are worth playing.
The original R.C. Pro-Am was and still is one of my favorite games on the Nintendo Entertainment System. The Sega Genesis version is actually the same game, just upgraded for a 16-bit system. The Game Boy release is a respectable entry in the series for a handheld console, and R.C. Pro-Am II, again on the NES is a lesser known but amazing sequel. It's a real shame that a real 16-bit sequel was never released on the Super Nintendo!

Booker Campaign Struggling as Super PAC Folds
Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) started the Democratic presidential race as a favorite among minorities and the party's ultra-liberal wing. However, lately, his campaign has been flagging badly. The main problem he's facing is funding, or rather the lack of it.
Early in the campaign, Booker said he didn't want money from Super PACs. He restated that position last month. Unfortunately for Booker, without a significant source of cash, his campaign is being financially outgunned by rivals.
There's also a good chance he won't qualify for the December debate.
Despite Booker's opposition to Super PACs, two were formed to support his campaign. One of them, set up in mid-November, says it plans to spend a million dollars on Facebook and Instagram ads. The other, Dream United, has been running for almost a year, however, it's now closing up shop with little over a million raised (most of which came from its founder's wife).
The problem for pro-Booker Super PACs seems to be that potential donors are taking the candidate at his word and refusing to donate. It's a principled position to take, but one that may not be viable for his chances at obtaining the DNC presidential nomination. It now seems like Booker may have torpedoed his own campaign.

Joule (Seattle, WA)
Joule Restaurant
3506 Stone Way N, Seattle, WA 98103
www.joulerestaurant.com
Sun 03/02/2014, 08:00p-10:20p
After a brief tour of Portland during the preceding days, I made my way up to Seattle for a quick visit, first stop: Joule. The restaurant is the brainchild of the wife-and-husband team of Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchi, and serves up the duo's unique style of French-Korean cuisine. It was a curious proposition for me, coming from the Korean food capital of the country.
About the Chefs: The driving force behind Joule is Rachel Yang, a Seoul native who came to the US at age 15 as a parachute kid, settling in New York. She ended up studying urban studies and visual arts at Brown, graduating in 2000, and initially planned to pursue a career in urban planning. However, things went in a completely different direction when she enrolled at the Institute of Culinary Education in NYC. Following a year-long course of study there, Yang started cooking at Daniel Boulud's DB Bistro Moderne, then moved to Alain Ducasse at the Essex House (where she met Chirchi), and later to Per Se in 2004. In 2005, she became Executive Chef of Lannie Ahn's short-lived modern Korean eatery D'or Ahn, where she was reintroduced to the cooking of her homeland, an experience that would ultimately lead to Joule.
Seif Chirchi, for his part, was born to a Tunisian father and grew up in Chicago. He attended the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, and during his tenure there, got his first taste of the restaurant biz while working as a server-slash-bartender. However, he was asked to help out in the kitchen one night, and immediately fell in love with cooking. After this, Chirchi went on to work at a few places in the area, then enrolled at the Western Culinary Institute in Portland for his formal education. While in school, he worked on the line at local eatery Jake's Grill, and after graduating in 2001, dabbled in catering for a bit before moving to New York and spending two years at Alain Ducasse. After meeting his future wife there, Chirchi went on to cook at Asiate at the Mandarin Oriental.
The two eventually got engaged in NYC, and were itching to move out to Seattle (one motivating factor: Chirchi's parents were in Portland). In 2006, they were given an opportunity to do just that when Portland-based chef Tom Hurley hired them to open Coupage after meeting Chirchi at a James Beard event. It was the couple's first attempt at doing a Kor-French menu, and the place opened late that year to considerable acclaim. However, they eventually had a falling out with the boss, and left in 2007, taking much of the staff with them. Coupage ended up folding the following year. Yang and Chirchi now had the confidence to open their own place, and did just that in November 2007 with the debut of Joule in the Wallingford neighborhood of Seattle.
The restaurant was a hit from the get go, scoring a three-star review from the Seattle Times and being named one of Seattle Metropolitan's "Best New Restaurants" in 2008. 2008 also saw the duo garner a "Rising Star Chef" semi-finalist nod from James Beard, a feat that was repeated by Yang in 2009. 2010, meanwhile, began with her being nominated by Beard for "Best Chef: Northwest," and the couple even made an appearance on Top Chef America, losing by one point to Jose Garces in "Battle Hawaiian Moi." Given the success of Joule, Yang and Chirchi went on to launch Revel, a Korean street food joint, and its associated bar, Quoin, in December 2010. This new restaurant, too, managed to become a success, really cementing the couple's position in Seattle. The following year, they were once again semi-finalists for James Beard's "Best Chef: Northwest" award, and made the same list in 2012 as well.
In October that year, the two relocated Joule to the new Fremont Collective complex, right next door to Renee Erickson's The Whale Wins. With the location change came a reinvigorated menu, a more focused one that further tightened the Korean influences in the food. The updated cooking was apparently a hit with James Beard, as the organization bestowed semi-finalist status on the two yet another time. This was followed by Joule's placement on Bon Appetit's "Best New Restaurants in America" list in 2013, and a spot on Seattle Magazine's collection of "Best New Restaurants" as well. Finally, we come to 2014, and, you guessed it, in true Susan Lucci fashion: James Beard semi-finalists for what must be the seventh time.
Joule's interior space was penned by the Seattle-based Heliotrope Architects, and is quite a bit larger than the original, coming in at 60 seats instead of 40. It's also much hipper with its clean cut lines, marble-topped bar and kitchen counter, neat wallpaper, concrete flooring, and requisite combination of open kitchen and communal table.
Joule's menu reads well, and is divided neatly into logical sections, ones you tend to work your way down while deciding which ones to share (yes, this is definitely a sharing-is-caring sort of place). To imbibe, you'll find an only-Washington-and-Oregon wine list, some pretty-interesting-sounding cocktails, and a smattering of decidedly non-Hite beer. Click for larger versions.
1080 (Tom Schaar, March 26, 2012 Tehachapi CA) [$11.00] | Aquaavit, pamplemousse, egg white, grapefruit bitters
We opted for cocktails this evening, the first of which featured the Scandinavian favorite akvavit. I was a big fan of the drink, its sweet spice on the attack, overarching essence of citrus, and hints of anise on the back end all coming together flawlessly.
Sweet Freedom [$10.00] | Blood Orange and Elderflower Liqueurs, Lime, Makoli
The next cocktail also featured a rather unconventional base: makgeolli, a sort of Korean rice wine. It actually worked out pretty well, the sweet 'n' sour notes in the drink pairing smoothly with the ricey undertones here.
Beef tartare, pine nut, spicy cod roe aioli [$10.00]
Our first course was Joule's take on the Korean dish yukhoe, basically a steak tartar. It was a laudable rendition of the classic, with a palpable beefiness to it that was augmented by the strong umami notes present, all while the aioli helped tie everything together. I also appreciated the sweetness imparted by the fruit here, as well as the points of crunchiness provided by the pine nuts.
White stuffed kimchi [$6.00]
Naturally, we had to try the baek kimchi, a white version of the staple that wasn't spicy at all. Instead, it was delightfully crunchy, and displayed a tart, acidic relish and lingering tang, a suitable counterpoint to the other heady flavors at play in the meal.
Crispy sweetbreads sticks, pickle [$10.00]
Up next was the most innocuous way that I'd ever seen to introduce someone to sweetbreads. They really were like fish sticks in a way, but with an earthier, more complex savor and a slightly creamier consistency--really tasty in a straightforward sort of manner, and great with the included pickles.
Tatsoi, warm Chinese sausage vinaigrette, smoked tea egg [$11.00]
A salad of tatsoi was soft and silky on the palate, the bitterness of the vegetable complemented by the savory weight of Chinese sausage, all while the lushness of the egg helped bring it all together.
Lady Mason [$12.00] | Old Tom Gin, Dolin Blanc, Punt e Mes, Green Chartreuse
Time for more cocktails. This one was easily the stiffest of the night, with its classically bittersweet, boozy character brightened by just the right amount of citrus.
Spicy rice cake, chorizo, pickled mustard green [$14.00]
My favorite course was the tteokbokki, which managed to be the best version of the dish I've had. I loved how the soft, pliant consistency of the rice cake was contrasted by their crispy crusts, and the heat imparted by the chorizo was spot on, not overwhelming, but just enough. Finishing things off was the mustard, which provided a hit of astringency that kept the course from going too heavy.
Black rice risotto, salted cod, fennel [$14.00]
I'm a sucker for risotto, and Joule's was a winner with its hearty pieces of cod and overarching brine that really permeated the rice. The fennel, meanwhile, gave up a counterbalancing crunch and piquancy, and I was much appreciative of the cilantro as well. Yum.
R. Kipling [$10.00] | Gin, Tamarind, Darjeeling, Lime, Tonic
Joule's Rudyard Kipling-monikered cocktail was enjoyable as well, bringing forth the floral qualities of the tea in concert with the sweet spice of tamarind, the gin and lime serving as the balancing force in the drink.
Roasted cauliflower, bonito, smoky yogurt [$10.00]
Cauliflower was next, the mild taste of the vegetable augmented by the umami-laden flavors of katsuobushi while the yogurt imparted a creamy, yet smoky slant to the dish. I would've liked the cauliflower a bit crisper, though.
"that" short rib steak, kalbi, grilled kimchi, 8oz, WA [$19.00]
We had to give Joule's take on galbi a go, naturally. It really did recall the traditional dish, with the meat's rich, bovine flavors enhanced with just the right amount of sweetness and a great bit of char, the gochuchang and kimchi imparting a lovely tinge of spice to the dish.
35 Stone Buck [$9.00] | Bourbon, Asian pear, Cinnamon, Honey, Peychauds bitters, RGB
Rachel's Ginger Beer provided a refreshingly gingery base to this drink that did a great job setting the stage for the bittersweet and spicy flavors present. Pretty refreshing.
Octopus, bok choy, hot bacon vinaigrette [$17.00]
A surprisingly large serving of octopus came out tender and smoky, with a nice amount of char, its comparatively mild flavors underpinned by spicy, bacon-y notes while the bok choy gave up a moderating crispness and lightness.
Mackerel, green curry cilantro chimichurri, black currant [$16.00]
Rounding out the savories was the mackerel, a briny, succulent, oily presentation of the fish tempered in potency by the incorporation of chimichurri. Pickles were much appreciated here too, providing crunch and burst of acidity to things.
Jalisco Campfire [$10.00] | Tequila, Lapsang Souchong, Agave, Thai Chili, Lime
Our final cocktail melded smokiness from the tequila and tea with the sweet-n-sour interplay of agave and lime, the Thai chile imparting a growing bit of heat to the drink. Surprisingly intense.
As for Joule's dessert menu, it probably slants a bit less overtly Korean, unsurprisingly, but still fits the bill. Click for a larger version.
Brown butter hazelnut cake, sweet red bean, fenugreek cream [$8.00]
The hazelnut cake was a winner, giving off a subtle, elegant sweetness typical of Asian cakes, while the fenugreek furnished an herbaceousness that offered up a touch of the unexpected.
Joule box, pearl tapioca, ruby grapefruit brulee, coconut [$7.00]
Joule's signature dessert used to come in a box I'm told, hence the name, but is now served in bowl form. In any case, the dish worked, commingling the soft sweetness of tapioca with the essence of coconut, the grapefruit adding a burst of citrus-y acidity to round things out.
You can call the food at Joule "fusion," but it doesn't convey any of the negative connotations that come along with the moniker. It's not Korean food definitely, and not quite "New American" either, but a unique amalgam of the Chefs' various influences that come together in modern, brilliantly-integrated fashion; I don't think I've eaten anything quite like it before. And interestingly, I'm not sure if something like this could work down here in Los Angeles; I think our large Korean population and resultant focus on "authenticity" might preclude such a thing.
