I just looked at the article. In the top right corner there are pictures of boards that seem to be in the same sphere as the Raspberry Pi.
Also if you look at the Author it is a Code Project Group member. Clicking on the 3 members hyperlink gives me Chris Maunder, Gunjan Rawal and Joel De Guzman.
A quick Google of Gunjan Rawal bought up an option that had Intel at the end. Clicking it shows she works for Intel.
I reckon that Code Project is sponsoring the Piesque boards as they will be used as a coding tool for the beginners with little money. Look out for a forum for these coming soon.

For all martial arts people out there.
I'm writing a "paper" for my black belt exam. The paper is about why some techniques are easy for some and very difficult for others and why some techniques sometimes never seem to work. I explain this by using the "Cycle of Considerations"[^] from Kenpo (We're doing Jiu-Jitsu/kenpo hybrid) and try to add some solutions to the problem.
One simple example is that it could be difficult to throw a person with an 'o goshi' (hip throw). One reason for this might be that it is a large (and/or heavy) person. In the cycle of Considerations you could see this as "Environment" and the solution is to try the technique with someone smaller (and lighter) or to use another technique.
A few questions for those who want to respond.
1) Do you know other models similar to this Cycle of Considerations? (Can you point me to them?)
2) If techniques don't work for you (or your partners/colleagues a the club), what kind of problems are those and how do you solve it?
Many thanks.

Sadly i am out of Martial arts for too long to give an appropriate answer to your question but i remember that we used our "enemys" momentum to cope with such problems as height and weight.
I remember that some throws could be done easily whilst using the opponents momentum to your favor and just directing it to your wished destination. But maybe this only worked with unworthy foes

ha ha. Yep, those principles are the basis of all our techniques as well, but it is not appropriate in all cases.

My beloved Krav Maga has these[^] principles. The basic philosophy is "render an opponent unwilling or unable to continue". It's a surprisingly effective mantra.
If techniques don't work for you, you don't continue with them. Krav is NOT a martial art. Krav is a system of self defence, so the moves have to be instinctive.

That sounds like violence and that is frowned upon.  See?
Just because someone is trying to hurt you or take your belongings doesn't mean you should act out your violence and oppression upon him/her.
You need to see things from the poor attacker's point of view. S/he may be hungry or upset that you have money and s/he doesn't.
Get some counseling.

My son was at a football (soccer) party when a little oik put him in a headlock. watching from the other end of the pitch I watched him step into his opponent and deliver a few swift punches to the oik's nose over his shoulder. Oik let go and was friendly to him for rest of the party.
He hadn't taken any martial arts at that point in time, so I asked him why he chose that solution - his response was 'I thought about what would Indy do'.

Surely the first consideration should be is my technique correct. During training the initial response should be 'work with someone who can help improve my technique', and then in sparring it should be 'is my technique still right or what defense are they using to counteract my throw'?

 That's what I'm saying. Obviously I don't make mistakes like that, but new members do...
|
|
|
|
|
Personally I still make technical errors, find myself thinking later that a different technique or slightly different application during sparring would have been better, but that's why we stop, evaluate, improve isn't it

My instructor often talks about the classic picture of yin and yang and how that is used when deciding how to go up against an opponent.
For instance, yin and yang could represent soft and hard. If your opponent is a lot bigger / more powerful or has longer reach than you do, you're likely not going to beat him using techniques that are designed to overpower him (so called 'hard' techniques). The way to beat him would be to use soft techniques like speed / deception / getting him off balance.
Hope this helps. Good luck with your black belt exam
