Happy mental health awareness month and to kick off this month We are going to be talking about Mikey from the channel glamour and how she just announces She's going to be taking a break because there is a lot a lot that we can all learn from this What is up everybody This is Chris from the rewired soul where we talk about the problem But focus on the solution and sometimes what I like to do is take different topics from the YouTube community and Try to see if there's any lessons that we can learn to kind of better ourselves or our mental and emotional Well-being so if you're into that stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell So yeah Mikey from the channel glamour which my beautiful girlfriend Tristan absolutely loves so I watched her video yesterday with my girlfriend and Yeah, she's taking a break to focus on getting ready for a bikini competition And I'm gonna explain that story a little bit more right but just full disclaimer before we get started if you're new To my channel. I'm not a licensed therapist or psychologist or anything like that I am somebody who has personal experience with my own mental health issues And I try to show that experience to offer some suggestions that might help some other people out But if you are in need of therapy or anything like that talk to your doctor see if they can recommend anybody talk to your insurance company Ask friends family members if they can recommend anybody I personally use the online therapy app better help down to the description Below there is an affiliate link if you would like to give them a try. All right. Anyways, so yeah, Mikey from the channel glamour like I Didn't know much about Mikey, but I know that you know My girlfriend and I have been dating for like over two years now And she's always loved Mikey and her work and just loves that, you know, she she has a strong work ethic She's never caught up in like, you know, the beauty guru like drama or anything like that My girlfriend also loves that, you know horror movies and stuff. So that's one of the reasons she loves Mikey But anyways yesterday my girlfriend asked me if I want to watch this video with her and I'm like, yeah, all right Sure, and I'm watching and I'm like, dang. Yeah, this Mikey gal. She's she's got it together, right? She's got a good head on her shoulders. But anyways, it sounds like Mikey has been trying to get ready for a bikini competition She's been doing a lot when it comes to her physical health when it comes to like eating, right? exercising and all these things to get ready for this but she recently had a head injury that kind of set her back and through thinking about these things and the setback that she had and everything that's going on and She also talks about the ups and downs of weight loss, which is something I can definitely Definitely relate to But she made the decision to take about a three month break. All right So what I want to do is talk about some of the topics that Mikey touched on and see what we could all learn from them So something that Mikey talks about in this video is that running the channel glamour takes a lot of work A lot of work like I didn't realize how much work she was doing like all of you who have been subscribed to me for a while You know, I'm making daily videos. I make multiple videos a day and everything like that But like through watching The glamour channel and doing a little bit more research like Mikey does a lot a lot of extra things that I'm not even doing You know with my channel, right and and obviously her videos take more time and planning out You know what she's going to be doing with different looks and everything like that But what she realizes is that she does not have enough time to do this So she talks about the amount of time that takes she spends at the gym the amount of time that she has to drive in The god-awful traffic that is Los Angeles. Oh, I love Southern California But going to Los Angeles is just my worst nightmare But the good news is is that you get to listen some good audio books or podcasts or even just jam out to some music But she talks about those but then she also talks about the importance of sleep when you're trying to You know, um, work on your weight and your fitness and everything like that and she just did not have enough time And that's something that I really hope that all of us can take a look at and look at our own lives So time management is one of the biggest struggles people have I would say through my experience working at an addiction treatment center Working with other people and everything like that like a topic that always comes up And it's something that I've struggled with in the past to so I kind of mentor people on these things Is I've struggled with time management and money management those two things come up all the time, right? so What I want people to take from Mikey's video is that like she has a goal She has something that she wants to achieve And I think there's two things that a lot of us can do one of them is realize how much time we're wasting Okay, I get a lot of messages and comments and everything people saying Chris How do you get so much work done? How do you get so much work done and like I do get a lot of work done, but I through making a lot of content and Developing, you know my style my craft and everything I've become more efficient at it, right? I play a lot of video games. I read a lot of books. I spent a lot of time with my girlfriend I spent time with my son, you know all these other things I managed to squeeze it all in because I took a look at how much time I was actually wasting all right now What I would ask you to do is try to quantify how much time you're wasting Browsing through Twitter browsing through Instagram browsing through Facebook binge watching Netflix whatever it is and try to ask yourself Like should I where's my time more? Spent more valuable right now the second thing is that I would suggest it's really helped me out Which is really really helped me is set up a calendar. All right, Amy Landino is This amazing woman who is an entrepreneur and somebody recommended a video to her to me a while back that she did on Calendar blocking if you struggle with time management like I I'm in the process of getting my life coach certification And I've recommended this video to a few people struggling with time management So I'm gonna link that video down below But take a look at it You don't have to go like fully gung-ho like Amy Landino does but take a look at what you have planned week to week and You know put those things that are set in stone on this calendar and see what else you can squeeze in And it kind of is a form of accountability So you don't waste as much time But if you have a goal like Mikey does like take a look at that all right But something that Mikey realized is that she does not have the time to do all these things All right, so the next thing that we're gonna talk about is the appreciation that she shows that she has The ability to take time off. Yes. Yes. Yes girl. Okay So Mikey talks about how she's in a very fortunate position. She is very grateful and She is it has been able to save up some money to take three months off from YouTube. All right She's still gonna be posting on Instagram I actually went over and followed her because I'm interested because she said she said that she wants to like document Like what she learns about her weight loss journey Even though she's not like a fitness expert But like I could relate to a lot of the struggles that she's had because all of our bodies are different and everything like that anyways She is very appreciative of this and like so also those of you who didn't don't know I worked at an addiction treatment center for a little over three years and One of the things that came up all the time is people are just dying to get out of there Right people struggling with drug addiction alcoholism mental health issues everything like that They just want to get out so so so quick They want to leave and something that I would always tell the clients when I was doing groups was like listen You need to appreciate this time you need to be grateful for this time like you know I'd ask them how many of you have kids at home. How many of you have pets at home? How many of you have families that demand your time? How many of you have jobs that demand your time? I was like this might be the only time in your life where you get to truly Focus on yourself. I was like be grateful for it Take advantage of that because many people cannot take this time to purely focus on themselves So Mikey stepping away from glamour for a few months. She's very grateful that she is able to take that time I also have personal experience with this in two different ways when I first got sober seven years ago I was very fortunate and like Gratitude is so important you guys. I can't express how important gratitude is when I got sober I was very fortunate to Be able to take a year off to purely focus on my sobriety And I'm so grateful for that because I know how many people don't get that opportunity They they go into a treatment center or whatever it is and they're back at work They're back at work and they're on that grind. They're all the stresses and everything like that I had a year to focus on me. I'm so grateful sometimes I went max because I'm a workaholic But I'm so grateful I had that time because I know so many other people don't have it But the second thing I'm grateful for is like I mentioned I work at a drug and alcohol Treatment center up until last August or September But anyways the company downsized they were shutting down different treatment centers and my position was eliminated and I got laid off but I was given a severance and I was able to sit down and look at this and say okay Chris You could either find a new job and I'm somebody who's always wanted to be my own boss work for myself just do my own thing and You know just have a place to be creative and put out my ideas and I was like, okay I can either go work for somebody else or I could really just Go go deep into this, you know YouTuber thing Entrepreneur thing and try this and see what happens because because of that severance I was able to take some time off and that's what I did and it was right around the time the Shane Dawson series Happens and I was able to just focus on YouTube and grow this channel and do this thing and ever since then I've been my own boss and like I'm grateful for that So my suggestion for all of you is if you are In the in the position to take time off or have time off like Mikey from Glam and Gore does like take it Appreciate it. Whether it's vacation days like we are in this world where we are told to work more work more work more work Don't take days off like people don't take days off like it's this badge of honor, right? Like I'm not saying take advantage of those things But like value those things with many people don't have that opportunity to take time off for the for their mental health Or to accomplish other goals or side projects. They have so the last thing I want to talk about Kind of intertwines with this but Mikey from Glam and Gore again is afforded an opportunity that many people don't have And and that's why I'm glad that she talks about how grateful she is for that Because it seems like she's extremely empathetic towards other people who can't do something like this, but Mental health breaks like a lot of us need them and a lot of us can't take them. All right like there are things in In the work environment like FM LA where you can take a break like the family medical Leave act and everything but there isn't much for like mental health breaks and a lot of us Have to make money. You know what I mean? We have to make money We have kids that we have to feed we have rent that we have to pay we have car payments We have gas, you know, we have you know our electric bill. We have insurance all these things So a lot of us don't have the opportunity to take these extended Periods of time off, but I'm here to tell you this I'm here to tell you this like it is possible It is possible. Like I don't want anybody out there to look at this situation There's be like must be nice must be nice to take three months off and do what you want to do, right? Because I hear a lot of people talk about that. Um, like in my Life coaching practice sessions. I've spoken to you know fathers and mothers and everything like that And it goes back to time management when I sit down with a lot of people and we sit down and look at you know What time do the kids wake up? How does how long does it take him to you know, get ready for school? Or if you're staying at home what time what time do the kids go to bed? Okay? What time does your husband or wife get off? Okay, where is this block of time? Like you just have to be smart with your time This is one of the reasons why you know, I love, you know better help online therapy Is that I could just use it wherever I am I've used it while I was traveling and everything like that But you can also go to a local therapist But I think it is very very very important to like set up a calendar and look at where you can squeeze in mental health time Because because and whether that's a hobby whether that's therapy whether it's 12-step meetings or whatever it is But because if you do not take care of your mental health and again, it's mental health awareness month If you do not take care of your mental health, you cannot be of help to other people in your lives All right, you will be a better mother or father if you take time for your mental health You will be a better employee if you take time for your mental health You will be a better friend if you take time for your mental health all these things so figure out a way I don't care if it's five or ten minutes of meditation a day Whatever it is make sure you're finding time to focus on your mental health because unfortunately We're living in a world where like mental health breaks are not like a Thing that comes along and everybody could take them whenever they want all right, but anyways Let me know your thoughts on this topic down below Are you struggling with time management or money management? Do you find it difficult to find time for your mental health? Let's have a conversation down below because I want to do a lot of mental health videos this month for mental health awareness month I'll probably be sharing some of my stories. I'm gonna be working on my book Rewire your anxiety just from my personal experience things that have helped me and all that stuff All right, but anyways, that's all I got for this video if you liked this video Please give it a thumbs up if you're new make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell because I make a ton of videos and a huge huge Thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on patreon You're all amazing and if you would like to help support what I'm doing here on this channel and get involved in my monthly Q&A And some other perks and benefits click the top right there. All right. Thanks again. So so much for watching. I'll see you next time


One way of understanding how multi-layer perception works is trying to visualize what you have there. One approach to gain some insight is to plot the weights of the first layer. After all, what is the first layer? Well, it goes from an image to a first set of neurons, which means that the weight vectors actually lie in image space, which means we can image them and look at them and see if they give us insights into what they mean. Look at the weights. What do they reveal about how this specific MLP works?


Hello everybody, Andrew Maeski here with dental tutoring. So you are watching this on YouTube, most likely, obviously. And what I decided to do was give you guys something extra special, because I was looking at my YouTube statistics. Well, actually not something that I was looking at, but as soon as you log into your YouTube account, it just kind of pops up. And I am almost at 10,000 subscribers, which is pretty cool. I don't know, that's pretty cool to me, considering I started tutoring like 15 years ago. And I remember the day like it was yesterday because it took me probably a year to get my tutoring courses ready to go, because looking at all of the textbooks that I had, writing out my notes, and then publishing them online takes time. And back 15 years ago, online just wasn't a thing. So I was tutoring in person, but then trying to move everything to online. YouTube, I have not been on YouTube for a long time either. I would say maybe about four years, maybe five years. And considering that I am almost at 10,000 people who actually watch me and listen to me talk about dental stuff is pretty exciting, because that means that there's other people out there like me who like to talk about dental. I have patients who watch me, I have dental assistants, dental hygienists, I have teachers, I have everybody. So that's exciting.  We went through a mock exam and case study session. So I'm just gonna share my screen and show you guys what that was all about. It was about 45 minutes, where if you're signed up for the board exam prep academy, you get mock exams and case studies all the time, including live tutoring. So that's what we did. We had a session last night and then we had another session this morning. But we just went through random questions. We talked about it and the answers obviously too. We talked about that. But this was a much harder session where a lot of people did have trouble with that. But that's where I come in. I can help you and prep you for the board exam.  You do not have to pay anything. And I will upload our PowerPoint. It's about 49 slides of mock exam questions and case studies. And I will also upload the session recording that we did which is about 45 minutes of me talking about the questions, talking about the answers, talking about how to prep you guys and teach you guys how to pick the best answer because two answers are always correct. And then going through each of the different answers and explaining why that one's wrong, that one's wrong, but this one's right. This one's almost right, but this is the most correct. So it is a really good session. So I thought that it would be perfect to post that for you guys to have something to do on a Sunday, right? Why not? And if you've been looking at the Board Exam Prep Academy for a while, but still not sure if it's really for you, this will help you kind of decide and see what we do at our live tutoring sessions. And if you do well, well, that's awesome. If you don't know any of the questions and that probably means that you need my help. So I will post a link for you guys on the bottom. This is a link for you only. So do not share this with anybody else if you don't mind, unless they want to watch me and listen to me on YouTube. So I'll post a link for you guys. Let me know if you have any questions. Have fun studying. Good luck and I will talk to you guys very, very soon.


We believe what we see and that is true for many areas But especially when it comes to science and within science. There are still some areas. We need to get a better insight to Soils for example one of the most important systems on earth as they feed the world in Order to grow enough food or fertilizers are used nitrogen fertilizers in particular and One of the main players there is ammonia and H3 Due to the growing population the fertilizer use increases every year By that more ammonia is added to the environment Which leads to negative environmental impacts In order to mitigate that we need to get a better insight and a better understanding of soil processes after fertilization There are some things that are quite hard to see for the human eye such as chemicals or biological processes My solution to that is To take images with the help of chemistry and this is what I'm working with optical chemical sensors With which we can make certain analytes visible in two dimensions and in real time with chemicals light and cameras And the obtained images can be processed in a way so that the different colors stand for different concentrations for each analyte Giving us the information that we need And in my research I developed a new optical sensor for ammonia Which are used together with optical sensors for pH and oxygen within soils By using these sensors within soils and fertilizers. I obtained three things Firstly, I was able to visualize the ammonia distribution within but also above soils from different fertilizers as you can see here Secondly Simultaneously, I measured and imaged the pH and the oxygen changes within the soil and correlated that to the ammonia distribution and thirdly These images were used to Take as a guided map for hotspots and also to do more informed soil sampling thereby We got high resolution insights into the soil microenvironment after fertilization And with these findings it is a we are able to make agriculture more sustainable now Do you also think that we need more images of fertilizers in soils? I Do because we believe what we see Thank you


Okay everybody, we're back, this is Dave Vellante and we're live from HP Discover in Frankfurt. This is HP's big customer show. HP essentially does the big shows twice a year, once in the US, this past year was in Las Vegas and now in Frankfurt. Last year I believe HP was in Vienna in the European sector. And it's the big customer show, nine, 10,000 people, Meg Whitton's here, Big Kino tomorrow, all the executives are here. HP had a leadership meeting this weekend, so brought everybody together. So anybody who's anybody at HP is here, all the customers are here, certainly big European flavor. And we're here with theCUBE, this is siliconangle.com's continuous coverage where we go to events, we extract the signal from the noise, I'm Dave Vellante from Wikibon. Really we're focused on real time research and advisory. Check out the website. We just released a report on software led infrastructure. It's all the rage in the industry today, software defined networkings, the software defined data center. And we're really trying to put some perspective on that. We reach out to our peer group, our audience of practitioners within the Wikibon community, ask them for their input. They actually directly participate, we use a Wiki, you can use a Wiki, go ahead and hit the edit key and check it out. So we're here talking about services enablement. Let's see, I think it was around two summers ago, actually, if I have my timing right, maybe it was last summer, I lose track of time. But HP made a move to basically take certain components of services, really the product oriented service enablement and put it under Dave Donatelli. That was an important move because it gave that group more focus and it added another arrow in the quiver of what was then ESSN is now EG, a services capability, let's face it. If you had to break down the pie of why customers buy, we always talk about the product and the cool technologies, but it's the service that keeps the customers coming back. And we're here with Lou Berger, who's the Vice President of Services Enablement and Readiness for the HP Storage Portfolio within the EG organization. So Lou, welcome to theCUBE. Good to see you. So services, we love services, we have a site actually called servicesangle.com. As I've said before, if you had a, I always ask customers, if they had $100 to spend and allocate the value pie, how much would you put on services? It's always at least half, right? So it's a key piece of the business. Makes a lot of money for companies, but we tend not to market it and talk about it enough. You're talking about the customers, but so talk a little bit about your role in the organization and we'll really get into what's new in services. Okay, so I own the support portfolio for development for storage and then the enablement for all the products on the EG and the key to services, the experience. So we look at the experience customers want and develop and keep enhancing it as the world changes, the world moving from product-centric into convergent, from convergent to cloud and we're orienting a support experience to match that. And with that, it's of course a life cycle. So the support experience at time of purchase and then post, which we all are comfortable with, but then again, the installation, the implementation, the consultative services you'd expect proactively and orienting and simplifying the portfolio to make it easy for customers to understand the value and be able to purchase what they want and get what they want based on the experiences is everything we're focusing on now. So consulting, I look at as the tip of the spear, right, you go in and that's where you're going to have a lot of high impact interaction. You're going to set the strategy and maybe the roadmap and a lot flows from the consulting piece. If you don't get that right as an organization, you can make a lot of mistakes, you can go down a lot of bad paths. Talk about the consulting that you do, where that fits and what kinds of things customers are asking you to help them with. Yeah, so with the alignment to EG, we're directly aligned with the product divisions and think of us as professional services, enablement directly related to implementation, integration so we can give the most value to customers. Our customers are savvy. They can do these things on their own. They choose to use that because we bring something extra. Understanding of how to best leverage, utilize the assets once they buy them and then bring them into the future. And the alignment with EG has been enabled for us, directly related back to the assessment, design, implementation and post experience. So the focus has been directly back on that. How do we help customers move into convergent infrastructure and then direct them towards cloud? And it's in the world for all of us. So having the expertise, the people available, the safety of the HP experience with it is everything about what they're looking for. So Lou, you described earlier sort of the evolution from product to converge technologies, convergent infrastructure to cloud. So product, you know, get it. This industry is very siloed and has been for a number of years. Converged infrastructure brings together those different disciplines. Now you're in the storage enablement organization, correct? Or is it more EG? Well, I do both. So I mean, you need to do it. So help me through the, how do we go from product to conversion? What does that mean for your role? Okay, so I own the support and consulting for storage, but you also want enablement for all the products. And that's a good, so yes, when we think of support and developing support and installation and implementation service, we think product. And we still do today. Every customer move product into their environments will need to do that. But we need to look forward. So let me give you an example. On the service support side, customers are used to buying support to the product purchase. And each product, and depending on the product, it could have been a different support experience or a different support level, but ultimately supporting in environment. Converged infrastructure is many pieces. So we took a look back at our support portfolio across all of EG and said, there's got to be a better way and better way for customers to give what they want. Simplified the foundation, the reactives that we would normally give to a customer, what customers normally ask for, and then lay it proactive services more towards the experience customer wanted. My call experience is different. I want proactive advice on how I do things. I want a personalized experience and package those into simple offerings that would lend themselves towards converged infrastructure and would grow within a converged infrastructure. And then we took another look and we said what customers are moving toward the cloud and have large data center with specific requirements. So re-oriented the top of our portfolio to say, let's look at something we call data center care and enable customers to do a full environment, look at what they want, how they're going to approach the converge, the legacy and the cloud infrastructures and build a way of allowing customers to enable us to enable them better. And that became the three portfolio. So take me through an example. I'm particularly interested in the converge piece and the cloud. Maybe some of your favorite engagements or ones that you see that are common. How do they start? And because they don't end, you don't want them to end anyway. So take us through that cycle. And I know it's not a sequential cycle. It's a sequential line. It's a cycle, right? We are constantly improving, but talk about, give us an example of that process. So we actually talk about our service experience as life cycle. The customer is considering adding or changing their environment into a new green field that could fully converge. We would advise, and most customers ask for some assessment design or workshop offerings, which we have today. And what's the objective of that assessment? Is it a business case? Is it a design? It can vary. A workshop, it would be an opportunity to have that discussion. What do you plan on there? What's your objective? What's the business case you want to solve? How do you approach it? What are the gotchas? What are the things you need to consider? Because you are moving this into your environment. What's the key? I'm going to interrupt that flow and I'm going to come back to it though. But what's the key to that? You got to have the right people in that meeting, right, that initial perception. If you don't have the right people, you're going to make some assumptions that are wrong. So is that a correct statement by me? And how do you get the right people there? And how do you pull it out of them? That's absolutely true. So it's a partnership between the customer and us at the time, giving the right advice on who should be there for the right reasons. Because you are correct. Making a decision with the right stakeholders. Even that early can impact you later and require research. So it's the planning and the expertise you bring into that workshop when you actually go through the planning stages. Right, okay. So you have obviously a system. You guys have done this before. You're setting the objectives. You get the right people there. And the outcomes could be a business case if that's what they want, right? The customer generally will want some kind of ROI before they're going to get into it. The assessment is a way to actually essentially reduce their risk, make sure they're going to hit their goals and plan the project out. Is that right? Absolutely right.  You actually do a full design and understanding of what exists, where the gaps are, what the requirements are. So that when you go into implementation, it becomes a seamless program managed event as much as possible. So you go from workshop to an assessment design and then implementation. So you must get a lot of constraints put on you. As a service, we can't do that because. It might be financial consideration. There might be compliance issues, all of that. Is that a fair assessment? And how does HP help its customers navigate through all that? Well, those are the design points you work through in the workshop, acknowledge it and then the assessment and design to understand the knowledge that costs, gaps, and depending on the industry, whether it's a compliance or security or any of the other things people consider, and then apply that in the design. So, conversed infrastructure is all about simplifying, right? And eliminating a lot of these mundane tasks that I have to do, but from a planning and design and an assessment standpoint and even an implementation, I guess not so much the implementation, but the upfront stuff, is it more complicated because you've got networking people, storage people, server people? How do you deal with that? That's a great question. I would say it's transformation. Transformation demands change. To move from a complex place to a simple place requires transformation. It's like that old statement. The thing I, you know, the paper you write, it would have been shorter if I had more time. It's exactly right, it's exactly right. But the ultimate goal is there. You would, you will and you would simplify. And if you think of even the storage space, moving from disparate devices into, the P7000 launch, where you now have the opportunity to go top down to bottom with one single platform, simplification, moving in the migration, the transition, those are all the things we do to help you get there. Simplify. Ultimately, the goal is to make it easier. So what about some proof points? What's the outcomes been of some of the engagements and what are you seeing as it relates to, say, for instance, converged infrastructure or cloud? We're seeing a tremendous success in customer interest and application of it. Customers, as you know, maintain the legacy. It's an investment. And then begin to make the transition. So it can be as simple as a converged stack that we sell as an appliance like Format, where the success is a little bit, or the implementation goes a little faster, or a full look to meet a business need. But ultimately converged is seeing tremendous, it's hard to apply to a specific customer without talking about it. But we're meeting the customers using the goal. There's simply said. How do they quantify it? Is it cost savings? Is it speed to deployment? What are the primary metrics that they're drawing? That's a great question. So in the case of a converged infrastructure, they'll live it as a package in appliance Format. It could be speed to market. You're bringing it very quickly. It's easier to implement and it's very structured. In the case of a larger converged infrastructure, it could be that transformation. But ultimately, you measure it on its savings, its simplification, its meeting the business needs, ultimately, and because it's converged, it gives you the ability to grow. Great. Hi, Lou, we're out of time. I really appreciate you coming by. Services is, we love the services angle. It's a key part of the value chain, value proposition. So congratulations on your successes. Really appreciate you coming on. Thank you. All right, keep it right there everybody. We'll be back with our next guest live from HP Discover in Frankfurt. I'm Dave Vellante. This is Silicon Angles, The Cube. We'll be right back.


It don't matter who we're playing against. I always say it's all about us, man. I wanna see y'all boys fly around. Boys bigger clean than this, man.  We at home, we been defending this, man.   Hey, man.  Y'all know what time it is, man.  Last time them fuckers walked out, didn't feel? They walked out the right way, we didn't. Don't walk out this field the wrong way today.  It's all about protecting this turd. And fine, man, have fun. Play with the edge, man. It's all I ask, bro. Play with the edge, man. Ah! Ooh! Ooh! Get in there, man. 1, 2, 3, go!


Section 74 of a Book of American Explorers. This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information or to volunteer, please visit LibriVox.org. Recording by Larry Wilson. A Book of American Explorers by Thomas Wentworth Higginson. Book 15, Part 2. The Massachusetts Bay colonists in Salem Harbor. Friday a foggy morning, but after clear and wind calm. We saw many schools of mackerel, infinite multitudes on every side of our ship. The sea was abundantly stored with rockweed and yellow flowers like ghillie flowers. By noon we were within three leagues of Cape Anne, and as we sailed along the coast we saw every hill and dale, and every island full of gay woods and high trees. The nearer we came to the shore, the more flowers in abundance, sometimes scattered abroad, sometimes joined in sheets nine or ten yards long, which we supposed to be brought from the low meadows by the tide. Now what with fine woods and green trees by land, and these yellow flowers painting the sea, made us all desirous to see our new paradise of New England, once we saw such forerunning signal of fertility afar off. Coming near the harbor towards night, we tacked about for sea room. Saturday a foggy morning, but after eight o'clock in the morning very clear. The wind being somewhat contrary at south than by west, we tacked to and again with getting little, but with much ado. About four o'clock in the afternoon having with much pain compassed the harbor, and being ready to enter the same, see how things may suddenly change, there came a fearful gust of wind and rain and thunder and lightning, whereby we were born with no little terror and trouble to our mariners, having very much ado to loose down the sails when the fury of the storm struck us. But God be praised, it lasted but a while, and soon abated again. And hereby the Lord showed us what could have been done with us if it had pleased him. But blessed be God, he soon removed this storm and it was a fair and sweet evening. We had a westerly wind which brought us between five and six o'clock to a fine sweet harbor seven miles from the head point of Cape Anne. This harbor twenty ships may easily ride therein, where there was an island with the four of our men with the boat went and brought back again ripe strawberries and gooseberries and sweet single roses. Thus God was merciful to us in giving us a taste and smell of the sweet fruit as an earnest of his bountiful goodness to welcome us at our first arrival. This harbor was two leagues and something more from the harbor at Nankaki, where our ships were to rest and the plantation has already begun. But because the passage is difficult and night drew on, we put into Cape Anne Harbor. The Sabbath being the first we kept in America, the seventh Lord days after we parted England. Monday we came from Cape Anne to go to Nankaki, the wind northerly. I should have told you before that the planters buying our English colors, the governor sent us shallot with two men to Pilates. These rested the Sabbath with us at Cape Anne. And this day by God's blessing and their directions, we passed the curious and difficult entrance into the large, spacious harbor of Nankaki. And as we passed along it was wonderful to behold so many islands replenished with thick wood and high trees and many fair green pastures. And being come into the harbor we saw the George to our great comfort, there being come on Tuesday which was seven days before us. We rested that night with glad and thankful hearts that God had put an end to our long and tedious journey through the greatest sea in the world. The next morning the governor came aboard to our ships and made his kindly welcome and invited me and my wife to come on shore and take our lodging in his house which we did accordingly.

Fire, Air, Earth, and Water in New England. As described by Francis Higginson, 1629. Letting pass our voyage by sea, we will now begin our discourse on the shore of New England. And because the life and welfare of every creature here below and the commodiousness of the country, whereas such creatures live, doth by the most wise ordering of God's providence, depend next unto himself upon the temperature and disposition of the four elements, earth, water, air, and fire. Therefore I will endeavor to show you what New England is by the consideration of each of these apart and truly endeavor by God's help to report nothing but the naked truth and that both to tell you of the disc commodities as well as of the commodities. Though as the idol proverb is, travelers may lie by authority and so may take too much sinful liberty that way, yet I may say of myself, as once Nehemiah did in another case, shall such a man as I lie? No, verily. Of the earth of New England. It is a land of diverse and sundry sorts all about Massive Thuleet's Bay, and at Charles River is as fat black earth as can be seen anywhere, and in other places you have a clay soil, in other gravel, in other sandy as it is all about our plantation at Salem, for so our town is now named. The form of the earth here, in its superficies of it, is neither too flat in the plainness nor too high in hills, but partakes of both in mediocrity and fit for pasture or for plough or meadow ground as men please to employ it. Though all the country be, as it were, a thick wood for the general, yet in diverse places, there is much ground cleared by the Indians, and especially about the plantation, and I am told that about three miles from us, a man may stand on a little hilly place and see diverse thousands of acres of ground as good as need to be, and not a tree in the same. In our plantation we have already a quart of milk for a penny, but the abundant increase of corn proves this country to be a wonderment. Thirty, forty, fifty, sixty are ordinary here. Yay, Joseph's increase in Egypt is outstripped here with us. Our planters hope to have more than a hundred fold this year, and all this while I am within compass. Will you save two hundred fold and upwards? It is almost incredible what great gains some of our English planters have had by our Indian corn. Credible persons have assured me, and the party himself aboutst the truth of it to me, that of the setting of thirteen gallons of corn he hath had increase of it fifty-two hogsheads. Every hogshead holding seven bushels of London measure, and every bushel was by him sold and trusted to the Indians for so much beaver as was worth eighteen shillings. And so of this thirteen gallons of corn, which was worth six shillings, eight pints, he made about three hundred twenty-seven pounds of it the year following, as by reckoning will appear, where you may see how God blesseth husbandry in this land. There is not such great implentiful ears of corn, I suppose, anywhere else to be found, but in this country being also a variety of colors as red, blue, and yellow, et cetera, and of one corn there springeth four or five hundred, I have sent you many ears of diverse colors that you might see the truth of it. Little children here, by setting of corn, they earn much more than their own maintenance. For beasts there are some bears, and they say some lions also, for they have been seen at Cape Ann. Also here are several sorts of deer, some whereof bring three or four young ones at once, which is not ordinary in England. Also wolves, fox, beavers, martens, great wildcats, and a great beast called a milky, as big as an ox. I have seen the skins of all these beasts since I came to this plantation, accepting lions. Also here are great store of squirrels, some greater and some smaller and lesser. There are some of the lesser sort, they tell me, that by a certain skin will fly from tree to tree, though they stand far distant, of the waters of New England. New England hath water enough, both salt and fresh. The greatest sea in the world, the Atlantic sea, runs all along the coast thereof. There are abundance of islands along the shore, some full of wood and mast to feed swine, and others clear wood and fruitful to bear corn. Also we have store of excellent harbors for ships, as at Cape Ann, and at Massa Thulet's Bay, and at Salem, and at many other places. And they are the better, because for strangers there is very difficult and dangerous passage into them. But unto such as are well acquainted with them, they are easy and safe enough. The abundance of sea fish are almost beyond believing, and sure I should scarce have believed it, except I had seen it with my own eyes. I saw a great store of whales and grampuses, and such abundance of mackerels, that it would astonish one to behold. Likewise codfish, abundance on the coast, and in their season are plentifully taken. There is a fish called a bass, a most sweet and wholesome fish as ever I did eat. It is altogether as good as our fresh salmon, and the season of their coming was begun when we came first to New England in June, and so continued about three months' space. Of this fish are fishers take many hundreds together, which I have seen lying on the shore to my admiration. Yea, their nets ordinarily take more than they are able to haul to land, and for want of boats and men, they are constrained to let a many go after they have taken them. And yet sometimes they fill two boats at a time with them. And besides bass we take plenty of skates and thornback, and abundance of lobsters, and the least boy in the plantation may both catch and eat what he will of them. For my own part I was soon cloied with them.  I have seen some myself that have weighed sixteen pound, but others have had diverse times so great lobsters as have weighed twenty-five pound as they assured me. Of the air of New England The temper of the air of New England is one special thing that commends this place. Experienced does manifest that there is hardly a more helpful place to be found in the world that agreeeth better with our English bodies. Many that have been weak and sickly in Old England by coming hither have been thoroughly healed and grown helpful and strong. For here is a most extraordinary clear and dry air that is of a most healing nature. To all such as are of a cold melancholy and dramatic, rheumatic temper of body. None can more truly speak hereof by their own experience than myself. My friends that knew me can well tell how very sickly I have been and continually in physics and that I have not gone without a cup for many years together, neither just leave off the same, have now cast away my cap and do where none at all in the daytime. And whereas before time I clothed myself with double clothes and thick waistcoats to keep warm, even in the summertime, I do now go as thin-clad as any. Besides, I have one of my children that was formerly most lamentably handled with sore breaking out both his hands and feet of the king's evil. But since he came hither he is very well, as ever he was, and there is hope of perfect recovery shortly, even by the very wholesomeness of the air altering, digesting, and drying up the cold and crude humours of the body. And therefore I think it is wise course for all cold complexions to come to take physics in New England. For a sup of New England's air is better than a whole draft of Old England's ale. In the summertime, in the midst of July and August, it is a good deal hotter than in Old England, and in winter, January and February are much colder, so they say. But the spring and autumn are of a middle temper. Fowls of the air are plentiful here, and of all sorts as we have in England, as far as I can learn, and a great many of strange fowls which we know not. Whilst I was writing these things, one of our men brought home an eagle which he had killed in the wood. They say they are good meat. Also, here are many kinds of excellent hawks, both sea hawks and land hawks, and myself walking in the woods with another in company, sprung a partridge so big the heaviness of his body could fly but a little way. They that have killed them say they are as big as our hens. Here are likewise abundance of turkeys often killed in the woods, far greater than our English turkeys, and exceeding fat, sweet, and fleshy. For here they have abundance of feeding all the year long, as strawberries in summer all places are full of them, and all manner of berries and fruits. In the wintertime I have seen flocks of pigeons and have eaten of them. They do fly from tree to tree as other birds do, which our pigeons will not do in England. They are of all colors as ours are, but their wings and tails are much longer, and therefore it is likely they fly swifter to escape the terrible hawks in this country. In wintertime this country doth abound in wild geese, wild ducks, and other sea fowl that a great part of winter the planters have eaten nothing but roast meat of diverse fowls which they have killed. Of the fire of New England. Thus you have heard of earth, water, and air of New England. Now maybe you expect something to be said of the fire proportionable to the rest of the elements. Indeed I think New England may boast of this element more than of all the rest. For though it be here somewhat cold in the winter, yet here we have plenty of fire to warm us, and that a great deal cheaper than they sell billets and faggots in London. Nay, all Europe is not able to afford to make so great fires as New England. A poor servant here, that is to possess but fifty acres of land, may afford to give more wood for timber and fire as good as the world yields, than many noblemen in England can afford to do. Here is good living for those that love good fires. And although New England have no tallow to make candles of, yet by the abundance of the fish thereof, it can afford oil for lamps. Nay, our pine trees that are most plentiful in all wood doth allow us plenty of candles which are very useful in a house. And they are such candles as the Indians commonly use, having no other. And they are nothing else but the wood of the pine tree, cloven in two little slices something thin, which are so full of turpentine and pitch that they burn as clear as a torch. I have sent you some of them that you may see the experience of them. New England's Disk Commodities. Thus of New England's Commodities. Now I will tell you of some Disk Commodities that are here to be found. First in the summer season, for these three months, June, July, and August, we are troubled much with little flies called mosquitoes, being the same they are troubled with hens. And they are nothing but gnats which, except they be smoked out of their houses, are troublesome in the night season. Secondly in the winter season, for two months space, the earth is commonly covered with snow which is accompanied with sharp biting frosts something more sharp than is in old England and therefore are forced to make great fires. Thirdly, this country being full of woods and wilderness, doth also much abound with snakes and serpents of strange colors and huge greatness. Yea, there are some serpents called rattlesnakes that have rattles in their tails that will not fly from a man as others will, but will fly upon him and sting him so mortally that he will die within a quarter of an hour except the party's dinged have about him some of the root of an herb called snakeweed to bite on. And then he shall receive no harm. But yet seldom falls it out that any hurt is done by these. About three years since an ending was stung to death by one of them. But we heard of none since that time. Fourthly and lastly, here wants as yet the good company of honest Christians to bring with them horses kind and cheap to make use of this fruitful land. Great pity it is to see so much good ground for corn and for grass as any under the heavens to lie altogether rather unoccupied when so many honest men and their families in old England through the populousness thereof do make very hard shift to live one by the other.

Book 15, Part 4 A Sea Adventure of the Puritan Colonists. Governor John Winthrop with a large number of colonists sailed from England in April 1630. Seventeen vessels came to the Massachusetts colony that year bringing nearly a thousand people. England was then at war with Spain and many Spanish cruisers made their rendezvous at Dunkirk and other ports in the Spanish Netherlands whence they were called Dunkirkers. April 9th In the morning we decried from the top eight sail a stern of us whom Captain Lowe told us he had seen at Dunn knows in the evening. We supposing they might be Dunkirkers, our captain caused the gun room and gun deck to be cleared. The hammocks were taken down our ordnance loaded and our powder chests and fireworks made ready and our landsmen quartered among the seamen and twenty-five of them appointed for muskets and every man written down for his quarter. The wind continued north with fair weather and afternoon it calmed and we still saw those eight ships to stand toward us. Having more wind than we they came up a pace when the masters of our consorts were more occasioned to think they might be Dunkirkers where we were told at Yarmouth that there were ten sail of them waiting for us. Whereupon we all prepared to fight with them and took down some cabins which were in the way of our ordnance and out of every ship were thrown such bed matters as were subject to take fire and we heaved out our long boats and put up our waste cloths and drew forth our men and them with muskets and other weapons and instruments for fireworks and for an experiment our captain shot a ball of wildfire fastened to an arrow out of a crossbow which burnt in the water a good time. The lady Arbella and the other women and children were removed into the lower deck that they might be out of danger all things being thus fitted we went to prayer upon the upper deck it was much to see how cheerful and comfortable the company appeared not a woman or child that showed fear though all did apprehend the danger to have been great if things had proved as might well be expected for there had been eight against four and the least of the enemy ships were reported to carry thirty brass pieces and our trust was in the lord of hosts and the courage of our captain and his care and diligence did much encourage us it was now about one o'clock ships seemed to be within a league of us therefore our captain because he would show he was not afraid of them and that he might see the issue before night should overtake us tacked about and stood to meet them and when we came near we perceived them to be our friends the little Neptune a ship of some twenty pieces of ordnance and her two consorts bound for the Straits a ship of flushing and a Frenchman and three other English ships bound for Canada and Newfoundland so when we drew near every ship as they met saluted each other and the musketeers discharged their small shot and so God be praised our fear and danger was turned into mirth and friendly entertainment End of Section 76 Section 77 of a book of American explorers this

he might see a wolf for they came daily about the house and killed some swine and calves et cetera and being about half a mile off it grew suddenly dark so as in coming home he mistook his path and went till he came to a little house of Sagamore John which stood empty there he stayed and having a piece of match in his pocket for he always carried about him he made a good fire near the house and laid down upon some old mats which he found there and so spent the night sometimes walking by the fire sometimes singing psalms and sometimes getting wood but could not sleep it was through God's mercy a warm night but a little before day it began to rain and having no cloak he made shift by a long pole to climb up into the house in the morning there came thither Indian Squaw but perceiving her before she had opened the door he barred her out yet she stayed there a great while essaying to get in and at last she went away and he returned a safe home his servants having been much perplexed

the privations of the Puritans now coming into this country I founded a vacant a vacant wilderness in respect of English there were indeed some English at Plymouth and Salem and some few at Charlestown who were very destitute when we came ashore and planting time being passed shortly after provision was not to be had for money I wrote to my friends, namely to my dear father to send me some provision which accordingly he did and also gave order to one of his neighbors to supply me with what I needed he being a seaman who coming hither supplied me with diverse things fish was a good help to me and others red was so very scarce that sometimes I thought the very crusts of my father's table would have been very sweetened to me and when I could have a meal of water and salt boiled together it was so good who could wish better in our beginning many were in great straits for want of provision for themselves and their little ones oh the hunger that many suffered and saw no hope in an eye of reason to be supplied only by clams and mussels and fish we did quickly build boats and some went to fishing but bread was with many a very scarce thing and flesh of all kind a scarce and in those days our straits though I cannot say God sent a raven to feed us as he did the prophet Elijah yet this I can say to the praise of God's glory that he sent not only poor ravenous Indians who came with their baskets of corn on their backs to trade with us which was a good supply to many but also sent ships from Holland and Ireland with provisions an Indian corn from Virginia to supply the wants of his dear servants in this wilderness both for food and raiment and when people's wants were great not only in one town such was the godly wisdom, care and prudence not selfishness but self-denial of our Governor Winthrop and his assistants that when a ship came laden with provisions they did order that the whole cargo should be brought for a general stock and so accordingly it was and distribution was made to every town as every man had needed thus God was pleased to care for his people in times of straits and to fill his servants with food and gladness then did all the servants of God bless his holy name and love one another with pure hearts fervently in those days God did cause his people to trust in him and to be contented with mean things it was not accounted a strange thing in those days to drink water and to eat samp or harmony without butter or milk indeed it would have been a strange thing to see a piece of roast beef though it was not very long before there was roast goat after the first winter we were very healthy though some of us had no great store of corn the Indians did sometimes bring corn and truck with us for clothing and knives and once I had a peck of corn or thereabouts for a little puppy dog frost fish mussels and clams were a relief to many if our provision be better now than it was then let us not children take heed that you do not forget the Lord our God you have better food and raiment than was in former times but have you better hearts than your forefathers had if so rejoice in that mercy and let New England then shout for joy sure all the people of God in other parts of the world that shall hear that the children and grandchildren of the first planters of New England have better hearts and are more heavenly than their predecessors they will doubtless greatly rejoice and will say this is the generation whom the Lord hath blessed End of Section 78 End of a Book of American Explorers by Thomas Wentworth Higginson


Cherries in the centre-circle have got it all of a sudden. Billing to the left, immediately, to target number one, Dan Duma. He's got a front-up, Edmunds Green here, left side of the area, Dan Duma on to his left foot, saved the way by Schofield! And the target hit him! Seventh goal of the season, he's scored five goals in six years here. He's got seven goals this season all of a sudden, and he pops up to score against his old club with just 15 minutes on the watch. The Cherries counter-attack, another assist for Dan Duma. Once you see Dan Duma getting one against one, you know there's going to be problems for Huddersfield. And Phil Bill was in the perfect spot, right on the penalty spot, as the ball was parried away, just a little dive-in head-up into the corner. Oh, given away by Edmunds Green on this occasion to Pearson, and then Pearson through to Solanke, opportunity here for Dom Solanke! Oh, what a finish! Dominic Solanke! That is a sensational finish from the Cherries number nine there, given away by Huddersfield, and the Cherries have got themselves too clear with a stunning goal from Solanke! Absolutely stunning! I bet he couldn't believe his look when he turned on the edge of the area, and there's no fear from some of him, but he still had a lot to do, and he smashed it low down past the keeper, who have absolutely no chance, but what a great finish. Huddersfield have got a corner here, over on the right-hand side, in towards the near post, clasped towards goal, and it's the clasping head-up from the captain, Jonathan Hogg, and now the Cherries have got 15 minutes to think about. The clean sheet is punctured by Huddersfield, and maybe we have a game-on for these last 15-2-1.

I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye. Bye


So, how do you get started with the STM32 family of devices? In this section, we're going to have a look through the structure of the STM32 part of the website to see which documents and software and tools and that are available. Then we'll have a look into these documents and see the structure of the documents to show you which parts of information are stored in which of the documents. We'll also show you the MCU Finder. So, the MCU Finder is a utility that is either on the PC, Android apps or iOS applications to help you select which STM32 is best suited for your requirements. And then we'll have a look at the hardware that actually sits around the STM32 so that you can get the device up and running. So, we'll have a look at the information source first. So, there are different places where you can find information on the STM32. So, there is the STM32 web page which is www.st.com.mcu. That will take you to the microcontroller web page where you then select which particular family of STM32 you want to have a look at and then slowly move down until you actually get to a specific device. We have the ST communities. The ST communities is like the forums and this is where engineers post questions. Our engineers out there provide tips and hints about how to do various tasks and these forums are monitored by our team in Tunisia and the team in Tunisia are also the team that write the full application notes and do all the validation testing of our STM32 devices. So, we have quite a detailed knowledge team supporting these particular forums and answering questions based on what's submitted by people out there who are designing with STM32. Then we have the STMCU finder application. So, as I said, it's the PC or tablet phone version and this is where you can use the different slider bars on the left-hand side to select memory sizes, IO counts, tick boxes for various peripherals and the list in the bottom part of the main screen will slowly get smaller and smaller and eventually you'll probably get a few devices and you can see then based on an approximate 10K volume pricing which would be the most cost effective for your application. Also once you select a device, the blue toolbar that you can see just above the big list will then get populated and you can quickly click on links to the data sheet, the reference manual, application notes etc etc directly from the MCU finder itself. So, we now have a look more closely at the STMCU website. Once you've decided on a family like the STM32F0 series family, you will then get a list of all the features that are common to all the sub-families in the F0 series and then which features are in each of those specific sub-families. So once you've decided, looking at my slides there, that you wanted the USB features, so you've selected the USB line of families, then you move to the next screen where you can see the different pinouts and memory size combinations that are available for that particular sub-family. So on our USB line, so the F0 X2, you can see that we've got 28 pins QFN or 20 pin TSSOP all the way up to 100 pins BGA or QFP and memory size goes from 16K up to 128K on this particular family. So once you know how many pins you're going to need, you select which particular sales type you've got there and then it will actually take you to a specific product page. So this is the product page for the F0 72RB. So this is the component that is on the nuclear board we will be using for the hands-on. And right at the top of that page, you can instantly see there is a link straight to the datasheet. So you can instantly, from the top of this page, view the datasheets. If you scroll down, you can then see all the particular key features which are also on the front page of the datasheet. And eventually you'll get the block diagram. So this looks very similar to the diagram I showed you in the introduction and it shows you all the different component blocks for analog, connectivity, system functions and the memory functions and things like that. So that's part of the web page so you can instantly see quickly in the block diagram what features are in this family of devices. Remember, this is the RBTX package. So as you go to some of the smaller packages, not all of these features are going to be available in the smaller packages due to pink count limitations. As you scroll further down the web page, you'll eventually reach the technical documentation section. Here again, the first item of the technical documents is the datasheet. Beyond the datasheet, we have got application notes, technical articles, reference manuals, hot programming manuals, a router sheets, hardware and CAD models and libraries and then some presentations for general marketing for this particular family. If you have the particular application notes, some of them are dedicated to this particular family. So things like AN4067 calibrating the RC oscillators and some of them are just generic ones for all STM32s or all ST microcontrollers like AN1709 which is EM design guide for ST micros. So as I say, some are specific, some are for sub-families and some are for generic MCUs in general. If you carry on down that web page, the next part you get to is the tools. So you can then see the hardware development tools. So you can see the ST link, which is our USB to JTAG programming dongle. Then you'll see the evaluation boards.  So all the different documentation for each of those boards are behind each of those links on that screen. Beyond the hardware tools, then you get into the software tools. So this is where you find STM32 Cubamex. This is where you'll find the virtual comport driver, the Eclipse plug-in for the Cubamex and so on, so on. There's lots of different software tools available out there for each of the microcontrollers. And then finally right down at the bottom you've got the information about pack quantities, the size of the packages, the unit price again, same price that's in the STMCU Finder. And then we've also got the materials declaration for the quality side of things. So if you're doing your packaging up your project, you need to know what type of eco information is available for Rosh compliances. So we have the documentations of that information right at the very bottom of each product web page. The STM32 community pages, as I say these are the forums that we have for the STM32 family. And this is where you can post questions, search for tips and tricks, things like that. And this isn't where you will probably find information about simple questions that you feel a bit embarrassed to ask. So there's one there on that side. Do I need a pull-up required for the USB D plus line on an STM32? So there's very small questions, tips and tricks that other engineers have asked. We've answered all other engineers have answered and we've validated those answers. And it's a quick way of finding some information. The information actually most of the time is in the documentation, but there's a lot of documentation to read for some of these families, especially the bigger devices like F7 based devices. So the ST community can be a quick way of finding the information out very, very quickly. So please have a look at the ST community pages for the STM32 family. The MCU finder, as I say, is the tool that we use for narrowing down our selection. You can see there from that screen capture, we've got over a thousand different sales types available. I think it's now nearer to probably about 1,200 sales types today. And you can select which peripherals that you require from the tick boxes or the quantities of down in the bottom left-hand corner. You can use the slider bars to narrow down memory sizes or pin out sizes. And you can actually specify specific families further up on that left-hand side of the screen. There are two options for the MCU finder. You can actually have it so that it downloads the documentation as you request it. So when you click on any of the icons on the blue bar in the middle of the screen, so for block diagrams, data sheet, docs. Or you can ask the tool itself to download all documentations. So if you go into the settings button, as you can see on the right-hand side of the slide, you can actually then configure the PC. It's only the PC version, by the way, this so that it will actually automatically download all the documentation to your hard disk so that you've always got them available to you when you need them. Now we're going to have a look at all this documentation I keep talking about. So we've been mentioning it, where to find it on the web page, that you can download it from the MCU finder. So we're now actually going to show you what the different types of documentation are and what's inside each of these particular documents. So the five key documents that you'll probably need at some point during a design are listed there on the slide. So we'll go through each of these documents so that you can see what's inside each document and how each document is structured to speed up your process of finding what you need when you're doing your design on your STM32 device. So we'll start with the datasheet. So the datasheet for most STM32 devices is about 200 pages long. So it lists all the key features, exactly the same as you have on the website. So it covers all the minimum, maximum memory variance for this particular family that this datasheet covers, voltage ranges, what peripherals, key speeds of some of the peripherals, number of timers, things like that. Which packages are available and the physical dimensions of each of those packages. Most of that will appear on the front page of every datasheet. As you move through the datasheet, you'll get a bit more description of these features. Then you'll get to the pinout information. So here we have a picture of each of the different pinouts and the numbering as it goes around the package. Then after each of the pictures, you will then get this summary table, which then tells you the pinout number, what the pin function is and any alternate functions that are available on that particular pin. So if I take something like PC2, which is not available on the 48 pin package. Only becomes available once you hit the 64 pin package. And you can see that it's ADC channel 12. And it's also SPI2 myzo pin and I squared 2S MCK pin. So it does multiple functions as do most of the pins on the STM32. As you carry on through the documentation, next section you will come to will be the electrical characteristics. So this tells you information for max operating conditions, runtime current, sleep currents, things like that. Some of the timing information for the serial comms and the power supply scheme like you can see there on the slide. So there's lots of information in the electrical characteristics section of the device. Then finally, at the back of the document is the mechanical information for each of the packages that this STM32 device comes in. So you've got all the mechanical diagrams to help you with your PCB layout. Probably the most important document you're going to use is the reference manual. So the reference manual is about 1000 to 2000 pages long, depending on which device it covers or which family of devices it covers. And one of the key areas that we'll be using for the first hands on is the memory mapping. So when you create your first project, if you're not using any libraries or structured information, you will need to know where in the memory array each register is located so that you can write information to each of those registers. So all that information is actually stored in the memory map, which is in chapter two of the reference manual. And we break things down into boundaries addresses. So you can see there that GPIO port A is sat between boundary of 48 million hex to 48 million free FF hex. So it actually has one kilobyte of register space assigned just to GPIO port A. And when we refer to the registers, when you get further into the peripheral parts of the descriptions, we define this boundary address plus the offsets. So this boundary address or the first element of the boundary address is going to be an important number when you're actually coming to do in some coding with an SDM32 if you're not using any of the library structures where everything's predefined for you. As you go through the reference manual, you will get a chapter on every peripheral that's in the particular SDM32 you've got. And the first section is usually the block diagram of that peripheral. So you can see exactly what physical pins that are for this peripheral and what the internal logic of that peripheral looks like so that you can understand is this going to do what I need it to do. So you've got all the block diagrams of the individual peripherals. Then as you carry on through the specific peripheral chapters, you will get an explanation of how each of these features of a specific peripheral are working. So here we can see what happens when the end of conversion sequence flag gets set. So you get a description of actually what's going on, which register the flag is in, what's then available in other registers like the data register and how you go out clearing that particular flag. And usually you'll see some form of timing diagram there so that you can get a better graphical representation of what's actually going on in each of those peripherals. At the end of each peripheral chapter, we've got the register declarations. So here you will see each of the different registers that we have available. So this one is the GPIO-MOD-ER register and you can see there it has an address offset of zero. So that means you can see that based on that boundary address from the memory map and the offset, you know exactly what register address this particular MOD-ER register is sat in. And under each of the registers, you've got the bit definitions. So you can actually see what bits, combinations are available to go into that particular register and what each of those bit definitions does. And that's the same for every peripheral that we have on the SDM32. The next useful document is the errata sheet. So the errata sheet is published so we don't hide it and it covers all the information about what we've found or what engineers like yourselves have found about the devices that doesn't quite match what we specify in the data sheet. So the start of the errata sheet will give a nice summary of all the different limitations that are available and on which silicon revisions each of these limitations are there. And then if there's a workaround or if they've been fixed. So there where you can see the gray boxes with the dash on, that means they have been fixed in those particular revisions as silicones. P means a partial workaround. A means a normal workaround, a full workaround. And N means that there's no workaround available. So sometimes it's not possible to fix all the issues that we find in the device but normally we will find a workaround for most of the issues. Then as you progress through the errata sheet, you will see a full description and the workaround that is available for that particular issue that's documented in that summary sheet. So you can see there in chapter 2.1 the wake up sequence from standby mode. You just have to actually do things in a particular order. Otherwise, things do not work as you expect them to work. Another document that you might use, you don't always use this document, is the core programming manual. So the core programming manual goes more into the arm elements of the STM32. So the actual cortex core structure itself, the debug module, the NVIC, things like that. So some of the registers for debug modules and the NVIC, all their bit definitions are included in this document and not in the reference manual. So sometimes you will have to look probably for the NVIC information. You might have to come to this document. But these are normally updated by ARM. There usually is a version on the ARM website as well for each of these cortex cores. This is the specific ones that we've imported into the ST domain for you to make your life easier to find these documents. After the core structure and the registers, then we go through the assembly instructions. So we'll play around with some assembly instructions in the first hands on to prove that you can use assembly on a 32-bit architecture. If you choose to, if you have a routine that has to be that timing critical, then we can run assembly instructions. And there's a detail of every different assembly instruction available for the Cortex M0 core. And then further down the document, you will find all the fault handling. So all the interrupt structures, ST define the peripheral ones, but ARM define the core level ones. So there's certain interrupt routines that are part of the Cortex core. So these are documented inside the programming manual. And it's mainly for fault handling. So if you get hard fault or an NMI interrupt, things like that. So it's very useful document. Normally, as I say, you won't need it unless you encounter some issues or you need to do something with assembly instructions. Then finally, the last section of documents you'll probably use a lot is the application notes. As I say, there are plenty of them there. I think there's probably about 20 or 30, 40 actually for the F072 available. As I say, not all of them are specific for the F072. Some will be the generic ones. But it's a great way to find out how to do certain tasks, sort of configure certain peripherals like timers. But one of the key documents that you will need and probably find very, very useful is AN4080, which is getting started with the hardware. So this is a hardware getting started guide, which is a very useful document to get you up and running fairly quickly with your chosen STM32. There should be one of these documents for every STM32 family, obviously different AN numbers, but this will be the perfect document to get you up and running with any STM32 that we have in the portfolio. So the hardware getting started. So what do we actually need around our STM32 to get this device up and running? So you've got the pinout diagram there. So that's a screenshot from our CubeMX tool. So what componentry do we need as a minimum to get this device up and running? So we can see power pins. So what would we need on the power pins? So decoupling capacitors are going to be needed. So we have one, two, three, four, five power pairs there shown on the diagram. Is it the same decoupling for each power pair or different? So what would have would be usually one capacitor per power pair, and then usually one larger reservoir, capacitor for the whole board. So normally you would need one, two, three, four, five, five, probably 100 nanofarads and 147 microfarads as an example to cover all the power pins, is it there? So then we've got a VBAT pin as well. So what do we need to do with the VBAT pin? The VBAT pin we would treat as a normal power pin. So again, you'd normally have it connected either directly to VDD or decoupled with VBAT to ground to again treat it as a standard power pin if you're not using a standalone battery on the VBAT pin. Reset, do we need to do anything special with reset? So with a reset pin normally you'd need some sort of control circuitry, so an RC network to give all the power lines time to stabilize before you release the reset pin. So normally you'd say an R and a C. The STM32 has a built-in pull-up, so all we need again is another capacitor external to actually configure our reset pin for the STM32 device. Finally the other pin that's highlighted in yellow there is the boot, or boot as it says there on the screen capture. So that's our boot zero pin. Has anyone know what boot zero pin does? Okay, the boot zero pin is selecting our hardware configuration. So where we are going to start executing code from. So in conjunction with the option bytes we will either start from main flash, system memory where we have inbuilt boot loaders or we can actually start from SRAM. So you've got that configuration option available to you depending on what you need. So this is what we say is a minimum requirement for our STM32 to get started. So as I said you've got 100 nanofarads per power pair and one 4.7 micro farad it says there, so one 4.7 micro farad in the top left corner of the screen. If you notice though there is a second 4.7 on the right hand side of the screen. This is because we have a separate VDD IO ring for a group of pins as you can see highlighted in the purple color. And it means you can run different peripherals with different voltages on that side. So that side has its own reservoir cap as well as the 100 nanofarad general cap on that particular set of power pins. The analog power pins will again depend on what you're doing with the application. So again we've got a reservoir cap and the standard 100 nanofarad cap there. Again depending on what smoothing you want and stabilization that combination on the analog pins will potentially vary depending on what you're doing in your application. But typically all you need to get this device up and running is a handful of capacitors. All you need to get up and running. Remember the clock sources, we've got a high speed internal and a low speed internal clock. So you don't actually need any clock sources for the SDM32. All this is documented in AN4080 which is the hardware getting started guide. So you can see more information about the hardware that's required to get the device up and running. Once you've got the device up and running you need to program the device and then debug your software. So on the Cortex M0 cores, we don't have full JTAG. We have what's called serial wire debug. And this is a two pin interface. So we usually still use power and ground as well. So it's normally a four wire interface that you'll have connected from our ST Link programmers which you can see pictured at the bottom of the screen to the target board. You also have the boot loaders which are built into the system memory which is the UR, SPI, I squared C and DFU or USB boot loaders. So they're available to you or you can have your own proprietary boot loader installed as well. Your proprietary boot loader has to sit in the main flash though. So you have to do a bit more configuration of your code when you're using a proprietary boot loader. In the option bikes, there are ways so that you control what peripherals do in low power modes. So you can actually say you want to freeze the timers, the watchdogs when you enter low power modes or you can trigger them so that the generator reset if you hit a debug breakpoint of some sort. In serial wire debug, you get four hardware breakpoints and two data breakpoints. So you don't get the full complement. As I say, it's not JTAG.  As I sit at the bottom of the screen, you can see pictures of our USB to JTAG dongles. So these are the ST Links. The one in the middle is the isolated version. Left and right is ST Link version two. Integrated into all the boards of the newer devices. So the top half of your nuclear board contains the ST Link debugger. It's integrated into your discovery boards, usually at the top where the USB power cable comes in. And on all the newer eval boards, again, ST Link is embedded inside all the new eval boards. So to get up and running with any of our target boards, you don't need a separate debugging tool. It's always integrated inside the tool. So, you've now seen where to find information on our webpage and the structure of our webpage. You've seen all the different documents that we have and how the documents are structured to show which information is inside which document. And you've seen a quick view of our MCU Finder to help you select best fit SDM32 for your application. And you've also seen the minimum components required to get an SDM32 started. So hopefully now you're in a position to see what we can do to start designing a project with the SDM32.
