A tale of the adventures of a modern day man who lurched, swerved and stumbled back to happiness and a rediscovery of what is really important in life with not much more than his sense of humour for help.

Set primarily in the present, with intriguing flashbacks to the 1800s, "In the Country of the Blind" concerns a small group of American idealists who manage to complete Babbage''s Analytical Engine and use it to develop mathematical models that chart the course of future events.

In the early years of the twenty-first century, humanity has progressed into space, having established a permanent presence with LEO (Low Earth Orbit) Station. Science and commerce in space are booming and humanity''s future looks bright. But one man''s desire for vindication and revenge could end it all. Lodestar chronicles the complex conflicts-political, personal, and scientific-on Earth and in orbit, that must be resolved if humanity is to claim its destiny among the stars.

In the early years of the 21st century humanity has advanced step by slow step into space, but has discovered through constant monitoring of the heavens that certain asteroids have changed their orbits and are headed for horrifying impact with Earth. Urgent action is required, but politics and a worldwide financial crash get in the way. The members of the van Huyten family, led by matriarch Mariesa who heads the vast space industry complex she has spent her life developing, the Pooles with their computer and security expertise, many political movers and shakers and dedicated pilots and space travelers of all stripes must pull together to save humanity from disaster. From the government offices and factories of Earth, to the Low Earth Orbit station, to manufacturing facilities on the moon, all of space-going humanity is united in an epic effort to save the planet from certain destruction and a new Dark Age, or perhaps even the extinction of all life on Earth.

This report presents the design of a 64-bit integer multiplier core that can perform 32-bit or 16-bit parallel integer multiplications(PMUL) and 32-bit or 16-bit parallel integer multiplications followed by additions(PMADD). The proposed multiplier removes sign and constant bits from its core and projects them to the boundaries to minimize the complexity of base cells. It also adopts an array-of-arrays architecture with unequal array sizes by decoupling partial product generation from carry save addition. This makes it possible to achieve high speed for 64-bit multiplication. Two architectures, which are done in dual-rail domino, are tested for functionality in Verilog and simulated in HSPICE for TSMC 0.35um process. The first architecture is capable of both PMUL and PMADD. The estimated delay is 4.9 ns (excluding a final adder) at 3.3V supply and 25c and its estimated area is 6.5 mm*2. The estimated delay of the second architecture, only capable of PMUL, is 4.5 ns. Its estimated area is 5.2 mm*2.

In the 21st Century, a woman philanthropist launches a private space program aimed at developing new technologies to improve life on Earth. But as with every innovation, this one steps on some people''s toes and they resort to violence to stop her. A work of imagination in space technologies.
