The Japoodle is a Designer breed, the offspring of a Poodle and a Japanese Spitz. The Japoodle is a new and relatively unknown breed in the Poodle crossbreed line up and came about after other poodle crossbreeds such as Cavoodle's and Labradoodle's saw great success as family pets for their exceptional temperaments and low-shed coats. Japoodles are best known for their high energy and intelligence, but also their difficult coats.
Appearance
The Japoodle is a cross between a Toy Poodle or Miniature poodle, and a Japanese Spitz. Given the combination of dogs a japoodles coat is often on the more difficult side to care for ; Japanese spitz coats are long, full and have a lot of fall out, while poodles coats are short and curly with minimal fall out due to being hair rather than fur. A Japoodles coat is often a difficult combination of the two, leaning more towards one side or the other and always with mass shedding due to the Japanese spitz genes. Japoodles are also characterized as having short floppy ears and curly tails, giving them the appearance of a teddy bear which is why they are slowly gaining popularity as a breed. They come in a selection of colours, ranging from Chestnut through to pure while ; the most common being a light Caramel color.
Temperament
The japoodles temperament is high energy and very loving; they express a great desire for constant attention and human interaction, always flowing their master and staying vigilant by their side. The breed is overall very intelligent and able to easily pick up a wide range of tricks and training techniques. They do however inherit the yappy nature of both poodles and Japanese spitz's so new owners need to learn to control this behavior while the dog is young or else it will get out of control and become impossible to break later in life.
Activity level and grooming
Japoodles do need a light exercise routine to maintain their good health and to burn off excessive energy that may otherwise turn into destructive behavior. They do not possess great stores of energy so a short walk around the block or throwing the ball in the back yard for a 30 minuets should more than be enough to keep them healthy. They have a high maintenance coat and will need consistent brushing and clipping in order to maintain a healthy coat free of tangles and mattes. The coat can be tricky to clip due to the combination of coat types and should be taken to a groomer for a clean professional cut.
Health and lifespan
You can expect to enjoy the company of your japoodle for 13-15 years with a good diet and regular exercise. As a smaller breed they are susceptible to excessive weight gain at a rapid rate so great care should be taken to monitor their diet and weight to prevent health complications later in life such as heart disease, heart failure, fatty liver disease as well as poor dental hygiene and arthritis of the joints. poodles are known sufferers of many eye diseases including Optic nerve hypoplasia and Progressive retinal atrophy. However, because the Japoodle is a crossbreed it is somewhat less likely to develop these health issues due to Hybrid Vigor, however it is still a good idea to take your dog to the vet for regular check ups.The more reputable breeders actively attempt to breed out known genetic complications such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy using DNA disease testing.

History
Bitcraze AB is the company that designed the Crazyflie 2.0 and its predecessor, Crazyflie 1.0. The company was founded in 2011 by the designers of the Quadcopter. The purpose of the company was to finance the development and manufacturing of a Crazyflie kit and to make it available as an open source development platform.
The work on the Crazyflie quadcopter started in late 2009 as a competence development project called Daedalus in the Swedish consulting company Epsilon AB, where all three founders where employed at the time. The work was done during their free time with component costs paid by Epsilon. The founders were three embedded engineers from Sweden and wanted to make a small flying machine that could be used indoors, since it is often very cold in Sweden. In 2010 they finally decided to send a video of the Crazyflie to Hackaday.com.
More development was done and it was decided to make a Crazyflie kit that could be manufactured and sold as an open source development platform. To finance the development and manufacturing of the kit the founders then created Bitcraze AB. At a later point the website - Bitcraze.io - was released. At that point it was the smallest quadcopter in the world.
The current team consist of Arnaud Taffanel, Björn Mauritz, Kristoffer Richardsson, Marcus Eliasson and Tobias Antonsson
Capabilites
Components
*Sensors: The platform consists of a number of different sensors. All of these need signal processing and tuning to optimize performance.
*Sensor fusion: The outputs from all the sensors are fused together to create the best possible measurement of the platform orientation.
*Control theory: The platform consists of a number of different control-loops. Both for controlling roll/pitch/yaw on board the Crazyflie, but also for controlling the platform if you use external equipment like a Kinect to fly see our blog.
*Radio protocols: The Crazyflie communicates via radio with the host. The protocol is very basic but has the potential to be expanded with more features.
*USB: The Crazyradio uses USB device to communication with the host real-time systems: The Crazyflie firmware is very time critical.
*Image processing: When using for instance the Kinect to fly you need image processing to detect and calculate where the Crazyflie is.
*Android: Using your USB OTH/HOST enabled Android device you can use the Crazyradio to fly your Crazyflie.
Languages used
*C for the Crazyradio and Crazyflie firmware
*Python for the Crazyflie PC API and client (they also have Ruby and C/C++ APIs maintained by the community)
*Java for the Crazyflie Android Client
Tools
The virtual machine of the Crazyflie platform can be used as a tool to perform the following:
*View, build and debug the Crazyflie firmware
*View and build the Crazyradio firmware
*View the EDA projects for the Crazyflie and the Crazyradio
*Develop the PC host applications
Additional Features
*Bootload firmware via the radio
*Parameter framework for editing and reading data via the radio
*Logging framework for logging data via the radio
*Additional CPU cycles left over as well as flash and RAM free to use
*JTAG interface
*Expansion interface to attach new hardware
Research
The Crazyflie series has been used for various research purposes. These publications are listed below:
* "Planning and Control for Quadrotor Flight through Cluttered Environments", B. Landry, Master's thesis, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA, June 2015.
* "Mixed Reality for Robotics", W. Hönig, C. Milanes, L. Scaria, T. Phan, M. Bolas, and N. Ayanian, IROS, 2015.

Applications
Besides its use by amateurs and drone enthusiasts, the Crazyflie series have been used by many research and educational institutions for research and development. The official website mentions the following organizations have used their products:
*National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
*Stanford University
*Microsoft Corporation
*Chalmers University of Technology
*Lund University
*IBM
*University of Bologna
*University of Southern California
*Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
*Bell Labs
*AdaCore
*ETH Zurich
*Ericsson
*University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
*Polytechnique Montréal
*McGill
Issues
*Out of stock:
Considering that the company is still in its youth and has limited staffing and resources, there have been numerous occasions where the Crazyflie has run out of stock and the developers have been unable to keep up with the rising demands of the consumer.
*Durability:
Since it is a minor drone made for easy use, some of its parts are not very durable and hence can be easily damaged. Once that happens, the spare parts have to be re-ordered from the company, which in turn can be delayed due to multiple requests.

PPMC Server
PPMC or "Playpixelmonmc" is a 1.7.10 Minecraft server that primarily uses the Pixelmon mod. The server was started in November 2013 and is still very active today. PPMC has six different servers within itself that are all unique from the others. There is the Kanto server, primarily an adventure map loosely based on the Kanto region from the popular Pokemon Red/Blue games. Then there is the Johto server, which is much closer to the source material compared to Kanto, and this server is based on the Johto region from the Pokemon Silver/Gold games. There is the Survival server, which is where building and claiming land is enabled and survival is the key mechanic. Then there is the Island server, another adventure map which takes place on a much smaller island that is fully explorable and an original design. The Sky Island server is an original map which takes place on multiple islands above the clouds. Finally, the Pantheos region is another fully original adventure mode map which is designed to be the hardest server on PPMC and follows a similar style to that of Kanto but with its own twists.
