CIVIC: Community Voices Informed Choices
What is CIVIC and how does it relate to community resource development in Broward County?
CIVIC is UF/IFAS Extension community development programming and the acronym stands for: Community Voices Informed Choices.
It is a UF/IFAS Extension initiative that builds capacity for communities to work toward enhanced quality of life leading to solutions directed at local challenges by:
- Raising awareness
- Exploring differences and common perspectives
- Generating ideas for moving forward and
- Working with partners to create recommendations
The role of Extension is to offer research-based knowledge that is applicable to answer difficult questions and provide solutions. Extension educators' roles are to support people in the development of a broadened perspective, so they are prepared to make reasoned judgments about the critical public issues we face today.
CIVIC can address many different community issues across all Extension initiative areas, such as poverty, community safety, crime, affordable housing, lack of resources, water quality, land use and the opioid crisis.
Why do we need the CIVIC program?
Communities are faced with a variety of challenges these days. For some issues, there is wide agreement about the solutions. For others, there may be a common belief that something should be done, but little clarity and discussion about the specific actions that should be taken. Other issues are filled with disagreement. People may disagree on the facts, or not trust the science that provides the facts. People may disagree on which factors should be considered, believing more attention should be paid to things such as the economy, environmental protection, or community safety. For other issues opposing sides can't even discuss options as division deepens over time. There are often difficulties addressing these contentious issues.
People do want to participate in meaningful ways to improve their community.
Through UF/IFAS Extension, we can help build capacity in our communities to increase partnerships and enable people to obtain information, weigh costs and benefits and discuss needed options.
Community deliberative discussions may be an important step forward, helping people better understand why alternative solutions are appealing to different people. Discussing the options can help people find common ground, areas of agreement and hopefully a few solutions.
"CIVIC benefits communities through meaningful conversations among community members. By bringing together all members of the community, everyone's voice is heard. Different perspectives are shared…maybe even a perspective that no one had considered that could lead to positive change."
-Linda Seals, UF/IFAS Extension Southeast District CRD Regional Specialized Agent
Extension agents in Florida are engaged in many activities working with their communities to:
1. Identify critical needs
2. Frame issues for reasonable discussions
3. Facilitate discussion groups
CIVIC forums provide an opportunity to discuss local issues of concern and explore the reasons people prefer various solutions, which is an important step in finding common ground.
CIVIC helps communities help themselves through enhanced civic engagement. Participants will gain knowledge on the concepts and theories of community development and will be able to apply citizen participation processes, methods and techniques that will assist in managing for change in local communities.
Extension educators can use research-based information to address current issues in communities and to educate policy makers, so they are informed when making policy decisions about critical issues.
Does your group need help with facilitation?
Our UF/IFAS Extension and Broward County CIVIC team members are available to guide your group to success. This forum includes community conversation, brainstorming future ideas and solutions and/or getting everyone on the same page. If you are interested in group facilitated discussion around a contentious issue, please contact UF/IFAS Extension Broward County at _PHONE_ and ask to speak to the Family and Consumer Sciences Agent.

Salt from waste heat
In areas where solar evaporation is insufficient for the purpose of salt production, the evaporation rate can be enhanced by utilising waste heat.
Conventional thermal salt evaporation processes employ expensive heat at temperatures well above 100°C. The THERMOSAL process utilizes residual waste heat for enhanced brine evaporation. Waste heat can be obtained from the cooling system of power generators, from processing plants or incinerators. It is inexpensive and ecological. The heat magnifies the evaporation rate of brines in open ponds and accelerates salt crystallisation. The starting material is saturated brine or sea water, rock salt or any other low quality salt. The pure crystal salt produced with the THERMOSAL process can reach vacuum salt quality at significantly lower cost.

Fossil and recent shallow water corals from the Atlantic Islands off Western Africa CANCAP-contribution no. 56
Zoologische Mededelingen , Volume 62 - Issue 8 p. 99- 112
Miocene hermatypic corals are listed from Madeira and Porto Santo. Pleistocene and recent shallow water corals are described from the Cape Verde archipelago. The Miocene fauna was part of the Western Tethyan reef association, which went nearly completely extinct by the development of a cool water current in late Miocene times. The Cape Verde fauna immigrated from the Carribean, presumably by way of a compressed subtropical gyre during a mid Pleistocene glacial phase. The fauna was found in a beach terrace, formerly considered Tertiary, on the island of São Tiago. A lava flow directly above this deposit was radiometrically dated 700.000 ± 200.000 years B.P.

Problem with Vector Size
ProtocolProtocol Cincinnati
Hi, I'm supposed to write a program that goes through a matrix line by line and if it finds anything stores the column number of the 1 in a vector, if it finds nothing zero is supposed to be stored in that place. IF there's nothing in the entire row, an empty vector is to be stored that is 0 x 0 in length, that's the catch. I've written code that looks for anything on a line and stores it, but I can't get the code to store a 0 x 0 length empty vector for empty rows. I even go back through the code and set the relevant lines equal to [], but it doesn't give me a 0 x 0 vector, it yields a 1 x 0 vector. Can anyone help me to solve this?
function out = logipack(V)
m = size(V, 1);
S = cell(m, 1);
for r = 1:m
S{r} = find(V(r, :));
m = size(V, 1);
if isempty(V(r))
S{r}= [];
end
end
out = S;
end

 The problem here is that the code produces a 1 x 0 empty vector if the line is all zeroes and not a 0 x 0 empty vector.

Bolstered by the community's embracement of the first two phases of Substancial, the opportunity emerged to explore the initial concept and intentions of the piece in further detail. Substancial Phase 4 reflects the origins of the hudson river Health Center as a grassroots project and ties into the later emergence of the concept of the health center as a network of service providers which originates from the the flagship Health Center in Peekskill NY. Since the Health Center's inception in 1975, 14 additional facilities have been created in different counties throughout NY State. Substancial Phase 4 incorporates this idea of the relationship between potentiality and movement with it's dense accumulation of lanterns which convey a sense of potential energy and expanding mass in an explosion of light and form along the length of the façade of the health center.

Python Question
Check for instance of Python multiprocessing.Connection?
Connection
objects are created when opening a
multiprocessing.Pipe
. However, it's not clear how to check whether an object is an instance of a
Connection
.
In Python3 (3.4, 3.3, !3.2), to detect an instance of
Connection
I can do:
from multiprocessing.connection import Connection
if isinstance(f, Connection):
print("f is a Connection to a Pipe")
from multiprocessing.dummy.connection import Connection
also works on all Python3, but not Python2.
However, this results in an
ImportError
using Python2. How am I supposed to reliably check for a Connection object?
Answer
There are significant implementation differences between Python 2 and 3 w. r. t. multiprocessing Connection objects. In Python 2, you can import them via:
from _multiprocessing import Connection
In Python 2, the Connection class is implemented in a helper module _multiprocessing, written in C (source here). I think it is written in C for better accessibility of the Windows API and possibly for performance reasons. I assume that in case of Python 3 the special Windows API calls required for implementing named pipes have been externalized to the winapi module.
You can easily, depending on the Python version, either import Connection from multiprocessing.connection or from _multiprocessing so that your code runs on both, Python 2 and 3.

When using TurboGears, your controller methods get their arguments built from the various GET, POST, and URL mechanisms provided by CherryPy. The only downside is that all the arguments will be strings and you'd like them converted to their normal Python datatype: numbers to int, dates to datetime, etc.
This conversion functionality is provided by the FormEncode package and is applied to your methods using the _USER_() decorator. FormEncode provides both validation and conversion as a single step, reasoning that you frequently need to validate something before you can convert it or that you'll need to convert something before you can really validate it.
The _USER_() decorator can evaluate both widget-based forms and the standard CherryPy arguments. The _USER_() decorator is not required in order to use TurboGears. If you don't put a _USER_() decorator on your method, you'll simply have to do the string validation and conversion yourself.
The simplest way to use _USER_() is to pass in a reference to a widgets-based form instance:
_USER_('yourpkg.templates.aform') _USER_(yourpkg.forms.my_form) def show_form(self, field1, field2,...):... return dict(form=yourpkg.forms.a_form)
where yourpkg.forms.a_form is an instance of a turbogears.widgets.Form sub-class or a callable that returns such an instance. The callable will be called for each request, so you can dynamically build forms depending on the request context.
The widgets system will take care of building a schema to handle the data conversions and you'll wind up with the int or datetime objects you specified when building the form. When paired with the error handling decorators, you can handle the common case of building a form, validating it, re-displaying the form if there are errors, and converting a valid form into the proper arguments in only a few lines of Python.
See Widget Form Validation with Schemas for more information.
When not using forms, the story gets a bit more complex. Basically, you need to specify which validator goes with which argument using the validators keyword argument for the validate decorator. Here's a simple example:
from turbogears import controllers, expose, validate, validators class Root(controllers.RootController): _USER_('yourpkg.templates.someform') _USER_(validators = dict( # Only letters/numbers/underscores/dashes item=validators.PlainText(), # Default value 'M' size=validators.OneOf(['S', 'M', 'L'], if_empty='M'), # Required field price=validators.Money(not_empty=True))) def storeitem(self, tg_errors=None, **kwargs): if tg_errors: pass # handle the error however you want! return dict(newvalue=value*2)
As you can see FormEncode and TurboGears provide a number of useful validators that are available in the turbogears.validators module.
For most validators, you can pass keyword arguments for more specific constraints. For the list of available validators, check both the FormEncode validators and TurboGears validators (source) modules. You can also create your own validators or build on existing validators by inheriting from one of the defaults. See the FormEncode documentation for how this is done.
The dictionary passed to the validators argument of the validate decorator maps the incoming field names to the appropriate FormEncode validators - in this example, we used PlainText, OneOf and Money. If all values pass validation, tg_errors won't change from it's default value of None and you are assured that value will be an int. Wait a minute! What's this tg_errors?
If there's a validation error, a dictionary named tg_errors will be passed to the function, with keys for the field names that failed validation. If you look up the keys, such as tg_errors['value'], you'll find an Invalid exception object. Invalid exception objects can be str()'d if you'd like to use them as user-friendly error messages or you can use the information contained in them to handle the error as you like:
_USER_('yourpkg.templates.someform') _USER_(validators=dict(value=validators.Int())) def index(self, value=0, tg_errors=None): if tg_errors: message = ', '.join(str(item) for item in tg_errors.values()) else: message = "Success!" return dict(message=message)
If you use form-based validation or if you pass a validation schema to the validators argument (see below), the values in the tg_errors will already be coerced into strings for your convenience. If you still need access to the Invalid exception object thrown by the validation schema, you can access it through cherrypy.request.validation_exception and retrieve the Invalid exceptions for the individual fields that failed validation through its error_dict attribute.
If you omit the tg_errors=None keyword from the controller method's arguments, you get told that there is no error handler function. This is a bit misleading as you don't really need an error handler if you handle things on your own, as explained here. See the documentation on Error Handling for learning more about error handlers.
If you want to do multiple-field validation, reuse validators or just clean up your code, validation Schema''s are the way to go. You create a validation schema by inheriting from ''turbogears.validators.Schema and pass the newly created Schema as the validators argument instead of passing a dictionary:
class MySchema(validators.Schema): pwd1 = validators.String(not_empty=True) pwd2 = validators.String(not_empty=True) chained_validators = [validators.FieldsMatch('pwd1', 'pwd2')] _USER_() _USER_(validators=MySchema()) def password(self, pwd1, pwd2, tg_errors=None): if tg_errors: return "There was an error" return "Password ok!"
Besides noticing our brilliant security strategy, please notice the chained_validators part of the schema that guarantees a pair of matching fields.
Again, for information about Invalid exception objects, creating your own validators, schema and FormEncode in general, refer to the FormEncode Validator documentation and don't be afraid to check the formencode.validators source. It's often more clear than the docs.
You can always use e.g. Python's int() method to convert a string to an integer and use a try/except block to catch errors in the conversion process:
from turbogears import controllers, expose class Root(controllers.RootController): _USER_() def addnum(self, x, y): """Return the result of x+y.""" try: return str(int(x) + int(y)) except ValueError: return "Input is not valid!"
This isn't that hard, but it quickly becomes unwieldy when you start converting large numbers of arguments. Moreover, you still have the problem of propagating the errors back to your users. In the end, it's usually far simpler to use the validation framework.
Sometimes you need access to external and possibly dynamic information in your validators, for example to change the outcome of the validation depending on this information. The validate_python and _to_python methods of all validators take an optional argument called state which is exactly for this purpose. The value of this argument should be a turbogears.util.Bunch-like object (i.e. just a simple data class that has arbitrary attributes) which provides the state information for the validator (schema). See the FormEncode documentation about 'state' for more information.
The validate decorator function takes a keyword argument named state_factory which expects a callable, which should return a Bunch object suitable to be passed as the state parameter to the validator schema of the form widget.
Here's a small example of how you can provide a validator with access to information about the current request:
from turbogears import util, expose, validate from myproject.forms import myform def state_provider(): return util.Bunch(request=cherrypy.request) _USER_() _USER_(form=myform, state_factory=state_provider) def mymethod(self,...)...
When the arguments, for whatever reason, fail validation, you will receive no values for the failing arguments.
If you would rather not get a tg_errors dict when this occurs, simply provide the validator with a value for its if_invalid keyword argument.
If you'd like to get both a tg_errors dict (so you can do some error handling) and a default value, supply a dictionary to the failsafe_values keyword argument containing the parameter/value pairs:
_USER_() _USER_(validators=MySchema(), failsafe_values=dict(pwd1='swordfish')) def password(self, pwd1, pwd2, tg_errors=None): if tg_errors: return "There was an error" return "Password ok!"
The validate decorator has a built-in "recursion guard" which should prevent unwanted recursions. Unfortunately, the current implementation (1.0.x) causes some side effects which may affect you:
1) Parameters for methods named "validate" won't get validated despite a correctly placed validate decorator. The only workaround is to choose a different name.
The following example code demonstrates this:
## BAD, DOES NOT WORK AS EXPECTED! _USER_() _USER_(validators=dict(userid=validators.Int())) def validate(self, userid=None, tg_errors=None): if not isinstance(userid, int): if tg_errors is None: return "No validation, userid=%s (type %s)" % ( userid, type(userid)) else: return "Validation failed, userid=%s (type %s)" % ( userid, type(userid)) else: return "Validation passed, userid=%d" % userid
2) The validate decorator will only be called once per request. This can be a problem if you call other exposed methods from another method.
The latter can be demonstrated with the following controller example snippet:
## BAD, DOES NOT WORK AS EXPECTED! _USER_() _USER_(validators=dict(userid=validators.String())) def foo(self

Why it is necessary to check the cost of living information before relocating?
Sharing is caring!
At present, many people are relocating to a new location due to various reasons but while relocating it is better to know some information about the city. Many people would search for information about the new location before planning to migrate or for a trip; it is people nature to do so. However, people wish to relocate to the sophisticated city in that Maryland is the best place and for more information, it is better to visit _URL_ official site to get all details. Although people check for several information most of them would wish to know about the cost of living in Maryland. This helps the people to calculate the minimum amount of living cost that is the minimum amount required to sustain their life in the new location. Minimum amount in a sense it includes various factors like cost of food and grocery, house rental cost, basic cost utility, transportation cost, healthcare cost, and many taxes. All the above lists are an essential thing for people to survive which would not remain common in all locations it may get differed based on the state and cities. To check the current cost of living in Maryland people can check on _URL_.
What is the cost of living in Maryland?
The index of the cost of living is involved with many primary locations which remain to be deciding factors of prices. Here are some useful information for people who wish to relocate to Maryland are listed below which helps them to calculate or to make an estimation about the cost of living in Maryland.
 - When the cost of living in Maryland is compared with the USA nation, the overall expenses is 25% higher in Maryland than expenses in the whole This is due to higher rate charges in basic utilities.
 - Cost of Housing rentals: if people wish to buy a house in Maryland the lowest cost is $100,000, and the average price for homes remains to be $103,360. If people go for house rent, then the price would range based on facility starting from one bedroom flat $1,187 through wish people can hold their monthly salary.
 - Utility costs: the utility cost in Maryland is $139.68 which is higher than the nations utility cost and to the nearby states. People need to pay this cost every month until it is included with house rent.
 - Cost of Food and groceries: in Maryland the food and grocery costs are 3% higher than the whole nation's food and grocery cost. So it is better for people to have home cooking rather than having in restaurants which would cost more.
 - Transportation costs: the transportation cost is higher than whole nations cost in order to make people favor the passes are provided to use public transit which cost $68 per month. If not people wish to drive their own vehicle, then the average cost for gas is $1.844 which is 3% higher than the national cost.
Apart from all the higher cost people get medical cost somewhat lower than national cost about 3%. In addition to all these Maryland possess state income taxes which ranges of 2% to 5.75% and even more.

Dominion Energy Moves Ahead With Electric School Bus Program
Dominion Energy is moving forward with its electric school bus program with 50 electric school buses being introduced to 16 localities in Virginia
Dominion Energy Electric School Bus
Electric school buses will soon be on the roads in Virginia safely carrying children and reducing emissions as Dominion Energy moves forward with the nation's largest electric school bus deployment. Phase one will bring 50 electric school buses to 16 localities within Dominion Energy's Virginia service area by the end of 2020.
The electric school buses will serve as a grid resource by creating additional energy storage technology to support the company's integration of distributed renewables such as solar and wind. The "vehicle-to-grid" technology leverages the bus batteries to store and inject energy onto the grid during periods of high demand when the buses are not needed for transport. The buses also provide environmental and health benefits through reduced emissions and reduce operation and maintenance costs for schools by up to 60 percent.
"We are excited to move forward with our commitment to bringing the benefits of electric school buses to the customers and communities we serve," said Dominion Energy chairman, president and CEO Thomas F. Farrell, II. "This is an innovative, sustainable solution that will help the environment, protect children's health, make the electric grid stronger, and free up money for our schools."
This initial deployment will bring electric school buses to each of the company's operating regions. Localities were selected based on the benefit the batteries would bring to the electric grid.
This is just the first step in a larger initiative to replace diesel-powered buses with electric buses. Phase two of the project, with state approval, would expand the program to bring at least 1,000 additional electric school buses online by 2025. Once phase two is fully implemented, the buses' batteries could provide enough energy to power more than 10,000 homes. Phase three would set the goal to have 50 percent of all diesel bus replacements in Dominion Energy's footprint be electric by 2025 and 100 percent by 2030.
Replacing diesel-powered school buses with electric school buses will have a positive impact on the environment and improve air quality. An electric school bus produces zero emissions. Replacing a diesel bus with an electric bus is the equivalent of taking 5.2 cars off the road. If fully implemented, by 2025, the program would be the equivalent of removing more than 5,000 cars from the road per year. That means lower carbon dioxide emissions and cleaner, healthier air for everyone, especially children.

text: After a CellSearch-processed circulating tumor cell (CTC) sample is imaged, a segmentation algorithm selects nucleic acid positive (DAPI+), cytokeratin-phycoerythrin expressing (CK-PE+) events for further review by an operator. Failures in this segmentation can result in missed CTCs. The CellSearch segmentation algorithm was not designed to handle samples with high cell density, such as diagnostic leukapheresis (DLA) samples. Here, we evaluate deep-learning-based segmentation method StarDist as an alternative to the CellSearch segmentation. CellSearch image archives from 533 whole blood samples and 601 DLA samples were segmented using CellSearch and StarDist and inspected visually. In 442 blood samples from cancer patients, StarDist segmented 99.95% of CTC segmented by CellSearch, produced good outlines for 98.3% of these CTC, and segmented 10% more CTC than CellSearch. Visual inspection of the segmentations of DLA images showed that StarDist continues to perform well when the cell density is very high, whereas CellSearch failed and generated extremely large segmentations (up to 52% of the sample surface). Moreover, in a detailed examination of seven DLA samples, StarDist segmented 20% more CTC than CellSearch. Segmentation is a critical first step for CTC enumeration in dense samples and StarDist segmentation convincingly outperformed CellSearch segmentation.


Stone-Age Skeletons Unearthed in Sahara Desert
"It must have been a place of memory," said study co-author Mary Anne Tafuri, an archaeologist at the University of Cambridge. "People throughout time have kept it, and they have buried their people, over and over, generation after generation."
PHOTOS: Faces of Our Ancestors
About 15 women and children were buried in the rock shelter, while five men and juveniles were buried under giant stone heaps called tumuli outside the shelter during a later period, when the region turned to desert.
The findings, which are detailed in the March issue of the Journal of Anthropological Archaeology, suggest the culture changed with the climate.
Millennia of burials
From about 8,000 to 6,000 years ago, the Sahara desert region, called Wadi Takarkori, was filled with scrubby vegetation and seasonal green patches. Stunning rock art depicts ancient herding animals, such as cows, which require much more water to graze than the current environment could support, Tafuri said.
NEWS: Stone Age Painters Were Realists
Tafuri and her colleague Savino di Lernia began excavating the archaeological site between 2003 and 2006. At the same site, archaeologists also uncovered huts, animal bones and pots with traces of the earliest fermented dairy products in Africa. (See Images of the Stone-Age Skeletons)
To date the skeletons, Tafuri measured the remains for concentrations of isotopes, or molecules of the same element with different weights.
The team concluded that the skeletons were buried over four millennia, with most of the remains in the rock shelter buried between 7,300 and 5,600 years ago.
The males and juveniles under the stone heaps were buried starting 4,500 years ago, when the region became more arid. Rock art confirms the dry up, as the cave paintings began to depict goats, which need much less water to graze than cows, Tafuri said.
The ancient people also grew up not far from the area where they were buried, based on a comparison of isotopes in tooth enamel, which forms early in childhood, with elements in the nearby environment.
Shift in culture?
The findings suggest the burial place was used for millennia by the same group of people. It also revealed a divided society.
VIDEO: Learn About the Life of an Archaeologist
"The exclusive use of the rock shelter for female and sub-adult burials points to a persistent division based on gender," wrote Marina Gallinaro, a researcher in African studies at Sapienza University of Rome, who was not involved in the study, in an email to LiveScience.
One possibility is that during the earlier period, women had a more critical role in the society, and families may have even traced their descent through the female line. But once the Sahara began its inexorable expansion into the region about 5,000 years ago, the culture shifted and men's prominence may have risen as a result, Gallinaro wrote.
The region as a whole is full of hundreds of sites yet to be excavated, said Luigi Boitani, a biologist at Sapienza University of Rome, who has worked on archaeological sites in the region but was not involved in the study.
"The area is an untapped treasure," Boitani said.
The new discovery also highlights the need to protect the fragile region, which has been closed to archaeologists since the revolution that ousted dictator Moammar el Gadhafi.
Takarkori is very close to the main road that leads from Libya into neighboring Niger, so rebels and other notorious political figures, such as Gadhafi's sons, have frequently passed through the area to escape the country, he said.

Do not miss this list of the best Mexican movies of yesterday and today that will make you enjoy the magic of cinema in all its registers. Mexican cinema has bequeathed wonderful pieces to the history of cinema, some better known and others less so, in a long cinematographic tradition from which current seventh art animals such as Guillermo del Toro, Alfonso Cuaron and Inarritu emerge.

Romantic Mexican Movies Mexican
cinema, rooted in a culture with a rich tragicomic obscurantist imagery, has been little given to the romantic genre. However, since the 1990s, some films have managed to win the hearts of viewers and critics. 1. Como agua para chocolate (Alfonso Arau, 1992)
Rarely has a literary triumph of the magnitude of Como agua para chocolate, by the Mexican writer Laura Esquivel, been transferred so successfully to the cinema. It was done in 1992 by the director Alfonso Arau and the result was one of the Mexican love movies with a great international impact.
The film reflects the soul of Mexican art, with a tribute to magical realismset in a love story in times of the revolution. In this case, gastronomy is used as a metaphor for Tita's frustrated love, condemned to remain single to take care of her mother. 2. Sex, modesty and tears (Antonio Serrano, 1999)
After a few years of creative drought, the nineties were refreshing for Mexican cinema and received the name of New Era. At that stage, one of the great successes was undoubtedly Sex, modesty and tears, which was on billboards for 27 weeks .
Antonio Serrano wrote it to be staged in the theater, but after its success he decided to adapt it to the cinema, where he received the final boost. The key was in the direct and humorous way in which a series of stories that reflect onthe war of the sexes, the crushes and the disappointments in love . 3. Amar te duele (Martha Higareda, 2002)
The romantic Mexican movies had another rebound with the premiere of a tender and brave movie like Amar te duele, by Martha Higareda, which over the years has become an icon of pop culture in the country
The success of the story, in addition to being very well told and having a fast pace, is the presentation of love as a source of tension for economic differences and social discrimination in Mexico . It presents a plot schematic with the classic love story of a young upper-class girl and a humble student who have to challenge her environment. mexican horror movies
Although it has never been the star genre in Mexico, horror has been quite successful in Mexican cinema. The following titles stand out as the most successful among the dozens of scary movies. 4. The Vampire (Fernando Mendez, 1957)
The Mexican homage to Bram Stoker's Dracula resulted, as early as the late fifties, in a cult movie that is still, for many, the best horror movie ever made. has done in Mexico.
The Vampire, by Fernando Mendez, seizes the viewer in a psychological and fantastic terror. The story of a peasant girl who goes to visit her sick aunt and the harrowing journey she undertakes along an unknown path hand in hand with a suspicious traveler.they combine the myth of the vampire with the Mexican rural world . 5. Macario (Roberto Gavaldon, 1960)
Ten years after Los Olvidados, by Luis Bunuel, Roberto Gavaldon challenged the genre with Macario, resulting in a film that mixes drama, terror and magical realism . Because from the tragic portrait of misery that overwhelms the viewer, the director develops a progression that leads to comedy and the leading role that fantasy acquires.
In addition to the approach to the misery of the Mexican peasant, which offers a rich social perspective, it introduces magical, traditional and atavistic elements that are reflected in the relationship of the peasant Macario with death on the eve of the Day of the Dead.6. Even the wind is afraid (Carlos Enrique Taboada, 1969)
One of the essential names in Mexican horror movies is Carlos Enrique Taboada, who, in addition to the movie that we bring up here, rose to fame with Veneno para las hadas (1984 ) to overwhelming critical acclaim and several well-deserved awards.
However, the film that made him known was Until the wind is afraid, the first great terrifying movie with public success in Mexico. The effective argument (a banshee who wants to possess the body of a student terrorizes a girls' boarding school) was executed with a practical rigor that gave the film quality. In 2007 he inspired a remake to be forgotten. 7. Chronos (Guillermo del Toro, 1993)
The debut of one of the reference names in fantastic cinema today, Guillermo del Toro, speaks for itself of the qualities of genius. Cronos presents many elements that he has later perfected in Pan's Labyrinth or The Shape of Water.
A magical item from the time of the Inquisition gives the power of eternal life to its owner, and will change the life of an old man when he accidentally falls into its hands. With this argument, Guillermo del Toro laid the foundation stone for a cinema that stimulates the imagination through a suggestive alliance of terror, suspense and tenderness .

Mexican Comedy Movies
If culture is the embodiment of national character, Mexican cinema perfectly reflects the sharp sense of humor of Mexicans and their tendency to satire and jokes. From there have come hilarious and witty movies that you can't miss. 8. There is the detail (Juan Bustillo Oro, 1940) The unforgettable character of Cantinflas , who has made entire generations laugh all over the world, made his debut as a leading role in what is also his most hilarious film.
There is the detail, by Juan Bustillo Oro, it is the typical comedy of entanglements in which fortuitous situations give rise to the most absurd scenes.
The agility of the film aroused the applause of the public and critics, but above all, it showed for the first time what later became known as the "cantinfleo": the graceful verbiage with which, in this case, Mario Moreno Cantinflas blames himself before the judge. 9. Herod's Law (Luis Estrada, 1999)
The best Mexican comedy of all time, and it is because it masterfully combines the two sides of the soul of Mexican culture : satire and tragedy. Humor and drama go hand in hand in this feature film that has been singled out as black humor.
The first scene leads the way: the inhabitants of San Pedro de los Saguaros mercilessly behead the mayor when he tries to flee with the town's taxes. It is, in addition to a great movie,a criticism of the corruption that shocked the country at the time . 10. Paraiso (Mariana Chenillo, 2014)
After a few years without much luck in the Mexican comedy film, the film of a budding director like Mariana Chenillo dazzled the public and the critics. The fresh air that Paraiso transmits is one of those pleasant surprises that the cinematographic talent in Mexico continues to provide.
The key to the success of this film is its lack of pretension: Chenillo abandons the biting and excessively refined humor to offer a light comedy that is both tender and welcoming. A love fable, a story of overcoming and personal growth, according to the director, around the adventures of a fat couple .Mexican drama
films At the same time, Mexican art is deeply impacted by the problems of the human soul and social criticism, and this has been reflected in breathtaking films that invite reflection. The best Mexican directors have taken full advantage of the dramatic genre. 11. The Forgotten (Luis Bunuel, 1950)
The Spanish filmmaker Luis Bunuel, who in his exile became a Mexican national, shot an unforgettable film in 1950, The Forgotten, which earned him the award for best director at the Cannes Film Festival and showed why It is in the Olympus of the history of cinema.
In a drama inspired by the Italian neorealism of Roberto Rossellini, with the stamp of bunuelian surrealism, transports us to the tragic daily life of poor children in the marginal neighborhoods of Mexico City. It also forces us to question ourselves about the close link between poverty and juvenile delinquency. 12. Red Dawn (Jorge Fons, 1989)
This film won the San Sebastian Film Festival prize surrounded by great controversy: firstly, because it dealt with a taboo subject at the time, the Tlatelolco massacre of 1968, and secondly because despite the originality of the content, the criticism was very harsh with the performances and the technical means. It was a box office hit.
The film is not only one of the best Mexican productions of the eighties, but it is also a triumph of the Mexican left against censorship.that the Institutional Revolutionary Party had imposed since 1968 in reference to the massacre. 13. The Alley of Miracles (Jorge Fons, 1994)
In addition to returning a fantastic director like Fons to the top of the genre, this film will be remembered for seeing the birth of a star: Salma Hayek. In this case, the play presents an urban drama based on the homonymous novel by Naguib Mahfuz that moves the action from Cairo to Mexico City.
The film swept the Ariel Awards of the Mexican Film Academy with a swarm of interconnected personal dramas. Fons has inspired a whole generation of great current directors like Arturo Ripstein with that talent to express the dreams that want to fly in the raw social realities. 14. Deep Crimson

not occur.
Return Value
If bDoScroll is TRUE and the view was actually scrolled, then return nonzero; otherwise 0. If bDoScroll is FALSE, then return the value that you would have returned if bDoScroll were TRUE, even though you don't actually do the scrolling.
Remarks
In one case this function is called by the framework with bDoScroll set to TRUE when the view receives a scrollbar message. In this case, you should actually scroll the view. In the other case this function is called with bDoScroll set to FALSE when an OLE item is initially dragged into the auto-scrolling region of a drop target before scrolling actually takes place. In this case, you should not actually scroll the view.
Called by the framework when the user views an area beyond the present view of the document, either by dragging an OLE item against the view's current borders or by manipulating the vertical or horizontal scrollbars.
virtual BOOL OnScrollBy(
 CSize sizeScroll,
 BOOL bDoScroll = TRUE);
Parameters
sizeScroll
Number of pixels scrolled horizontally and vertically.
bDoScroll
Determines whether scrolling of the view occurs. If TRUE, then scrolling takes place; if FALSE, then scrolling does not occur.
Return Value
Nonzero if the view was able to be scrolled; otherwise 0.
Remarks
In derived classes this method checks to see whether the view is scrollable in the direction the user requested and then updates the new region if necessary. This function is automatically called by CWnd::OnHScroll and CWnd::OnVScroll to perform the actual scrolling request.
The default implementation of this method does not change the view, but if it is not called, the view will not scroll in a CScrollView-derived class.
If the document width or height exceeds 32767 pixels, scrolling past 32767 will fail because OnScrollBy is called with an invalid sizeScroll argument.
Called by the framework after the view's document has been modified; this function is called by CDocument::UpdateAllViews and allows the view to update its display to reflect those modifications.
virtual void OnUpdate(
 CView* pSender,
 LPARAM lHint,
 CObject* pHint);
Parameters
pSender
Points to the view that modified the document, or NULL if all views are to be updated.
lHint
Contains information about the modifications.
pHint
Points to an object storing information about the modifications.
Remarks
It is also called by the default implementation of OnInitialUpdate. The default implementation invalidates the entire client area, marking it for painting when the next WM_PAINT message is received. Override this function if you want to update only those regions that map to the modified portions of the document. To do this you must pass information about the modifications using the hint parameters.
To use lHint, define special hint values, typically a bitmask or an enumerated type, and have the document pass one of these values. To use pHint, derive a hint class from CObject and have the document pass a pointer to a hint object; when overriding OnUpdate, use the CObject::IsKindOf member function to determine the run-time type of the hint object.
Typically you should not perform any drawing directly from OnUpdate. Instead, determine the rectangle describing, in device coordinates, the area that requires updating; pass this rectangle to CWnd::InvalidateRect. This causes painting to occur the next time a WM_PAINT message is received.
If lHint is 0 and pHint is NULL, the document has sent a generic update notification. If a view receives a generic update notification, or if it cannot decode the hints, it should invalidate its entire client area.

I'm writing a game, and I need to simulate a the path of a cannon ball. I imagine I would have the initial velocity vector, and a vector for gravity. Is there a good tutorial on how to do this? (maybe I need to read some high school text books?)
migrated from stackoverflow.com Nov 24 '11 at 21:15
What I would do is learn how to use Cocos2d. You can use a function thats kind of like a timer, it is called 60 times a second by default but you can change this.
What you would do with this is update the x/y position of your sprite (the cannonball image) by a minuscule amount inside this time function, called ccTime.
If your actually looking for the math for the trajectory, here is an amazing tutorial on that
Here is a question on a forum very similar to yours
You show read the basics of the trajectory from where you can extract any equation you need.

punto a groppo
punto a groppo, (Italian: "knotted lace"), ancestor of bobbin lace. It was worked in 16th-century Italy by knotting, twisting, and tying fringes, all without weights, or bobbins. Patterns were geometric, sometimes interspersed with schematic human figures. It is thought that bobbin, or pillow, lace developed when the threads came to be attached with lead weights and the design anchored on a pad, or pillow. Macramé work is a modern form of punto a groppo.


\& \text{such that} \\& \text{the point } \bar{y}=A(\bar{x})\in Y \text{ solves (IP2)}, \end{aligned}$$
where IP1 is a problem set in space X, IP2 is a problem set in space Y and \(A:X\rightarrow Y\) is a bounded linear mapping. Many inverse problems can be modeled in this framework by choosing different problems for IP1 and IP2, and numerous results in this area were developed in the recent decades, for example, see [2530] and the references therein.
In this paper, we are concerned with a problem in the framework of SIP, called multiple-set split feasibility problem (MSSFP), which was introduced by Censor et al. [27] and is formulated as a problem of finding a point
$$ \bar{x}\in \bigcap_{i=1}^{N}C_{i} \quad \text{such that } A\bar{x}\in \bigcap_{j=1}^{M}Q_{j}, $$
(6)
where \(\{C_{1},\ldots , C_{N}\}\) and \(\{Q_{1},\ldots , Q_{M}\}\) are nonempty closed convex subsets of \(H_{1}\) and \(H_{2}\), respectively. Denote by Ω the set of solutions for (6). The MSSFP (6) with \(N=M=1\) is the SFP (1). For solving the MSSFP (6), many methods have been developed, see, for example, in [27, 3142] and the references therein.
Inspired by Yang [20] and Lopez et al. [1], we are interested in solving MSSFP in which the involved sets \(C_{i}\) (\(i\in \{1,\ldots ,N\}\)) and \(Q_{j}\) (\(j\in \{1, \ldots ,M\}\)) are given as sublevel sets of convex functions, i.e.,
$$ C_{i}=\bigl\{ x\in H_{1}:c_{i}(x) \leq 0\bigr\} \quad \text{and}\quad Q_{j}=\bigl\{ y\in H_{2}:q_{j}(y) \leq 0\bigr\} , $$
(7)
where \(c_{i}:H_{1}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) and \(q_{j}:H_{2}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) are convex functions for all \(i\in \{1,\ldots ,N\}\), \(j\in \{1,\ldots ,M\}\). We assume that both \(c_{i}\) and \(q_{j}\) are subdifferentiable on \(H_{1}\) and \(H_{2}\), respectively, and that \(\partial c_{i}\) and \(\partial q_{j}\) are bounded operators (i.e., bounded on bounded sets). In what follows, we define \(N+M\) half-spaces at point \(x_{n}\) by
$$ C_{i,n}=\bigl\{ x\in H_{1}:c_{i}(x_{n}) \leq \langle \xi _{i,n},x_{n}-x \rangle \bigr\} , $$
(8)
where \(\xi _{i,n}\in \partial c_{i}(x_{n})\), and
$$ Q_{j,n}=\bigl\{ y\in H_{2}:q_{j}(Ax_{n}) \leq \langle \varepsilon _{j,n},Ax_{n}-y \rangle \bigr\} , $$
(9)
where \(\varepsilon _{j,n}\in \partial q_{j}(Ax_{n})\).
In various disciplines, for example, in economics and control theory [43, 44], problems arise in infinite-dimensional spaces. In such problems, norm convergence is often much more desirable than weak convergence, for it translates the physically tangible property that the energy \(\|x_{n}-p\|\) of the error between the iterate \(x_{n}\) and a solution p eventually becomes arbitrarily small. More about the importance of strong convergence in a minimization problem via the proximal-point algorithm is underlined in [45].
The classical iteration can only provide weak convergence within an infinite-dimensional space. But strong convergence is the one that's most wanted. Since it plays a key role in the strong convergence, we put the viscosity term for iteration, see, for example, [46]. It is well known that the inertial method greatly enhances algorithm efficiency and has good convergence properties [38, 4749].
This paper contributes a strongly convergent iterative algorithm for MSSFP with inertial effect (extrapolated point \(x_{n}+\alpha _{n}(x_{n}-x_{n-1})\), rather than \(x_{n}\) itself) in the direction of half-space relaxation (assuming \(C_{i}\) and \(Q_{j}\) are given as sublevel sets of convex functions (7)) where the projection onto half-spaces (8) and (9) is computed in parallel and a priori knowledge of the operator norm is not required. For this purpose, we introduce the extended form of the way of selecting stepsize used by Lopez et al. [1], to work for MSSFP framework, and we analyze the strong convergence of our proposed algorithm.
Preliminary
In this paper, the symbols "" and "→" stand for the weak and strong convergence, respectively.
Let C be a nonempty closed convex subset of a real Hilbert space H. The metric projection on C is a mapping \(P_{C} : H\rightarrow {C}\) defined by
$$ P_{C}(x) =\arg \min \bigl\{ \Vert y-x \Vert :y\in {C}\bigr\} , \quad x\in H. $$
Lemma 2.1
Let C be a closed convex subset of H. Given \(x\in H\) and a point \(z\in C\), \(z=P_{C}(x)\) if and only if
$$ \langle x-z, y-z\rangle \leq 0, \quad \forall y\in C. $$
More properties of the metric projection can be found in [50].
Definition 2.2
The mapping \(T:H\rightarrow H\) is said to be
 1. (i)
 γ-contraction if there exists a constant \(\gamma \in [0,1) \) such that
 $$ \bigl\Vert T(x)-T(y) \bigr\Vert \leq \gamma \Vert x-y \Vert , \quad \forall x,y\in H; $$
 2. (ii)
 firmly nonexpansive if
 $$ \Vert Tx-Ty \Vert ^{2}\leq \Vert x-y \Vert ^{2}- \bigl\Vert (I-T)x-(I-T)y \bigr\Vert ^{2}, \quad \forall x,y\in H, $$
 which is equivalent to
 $$ \Vert Tx-Ty \Vert ^{2}\leq \langle Tx-Ty,x-y\rangle , \quad \forall x,y\in H. $$
If T is firmly nonexpansive, \(I-T\) is also firmly nonexpansive. The metric projection \(P_{C}\) on a closed convex subset C of H is firmly nonexpansive.
Definition 2.3
The subdifferential of a convex function \(f:H\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) at \(x\in H\), denoted by \(\partial f(x)\), is defined by
$$ \partial f(x)=\bigl\

Column '%ls.%.*ls' cannot be referenced in the OUTPUT clause because the column definition contains a subquery or references a function that performs user or system data access. A function is assumed by default to perform data access if it is not schemabound. Consider removing the subquery or function from the column definition or removing the column from the OUTPUT clause.
To prevent nondeterministic behavior, the OUTPUT clause cannot reference a column from a view or inline table-valued function when that column is defined by one of the following methods:
 - A subquery.
 - A user-defined function that performs user or system data access, or is assumed to perform such access.
 - A computed column that contains a user-defined function that performs user or system data access in its definition.
Examples
View Column Defined by a Subquery
The following example creates a view that uses a subquery in the select list to define the column State. An UPDATE statement then references the State column in the OUTPUT clause.
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
CREATE VIEW dbo.V1
AS
 SELECT City,
-- subquery to return the State name
 (SELECT Name FROM Person.StateProvince AS sp
 WHERE sp.StateProvinceID = a.StateProvinceID) AS State
 FROM Person.Address AS a;
GO
--Reference the State column in the OUTPUT clause of an UPDATE statement
UPDATE dbo.V1
SET City = City + 'Test'
OUTPUT deleted.City, deleted.State, inserted.City, inserted.State
WHERE State = 'Texas';
GO
View Column Defined by a Function
The following example creates a view that uses the data accessing, scalar function dbo.ufnGetStock in the select list to define the column CurrentInventory. An UPDATE statement then references the CurrentInventory column in the OUTPUT clause.
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
CREATE VIEW Production.ReorderLevels
AS
 SELECT ProductID, ProductModelID, ReorderPoint,
 dbo.ufnGetStock(ProductID) AS CurrentInventory
 FROM Production.Product;
UPDATE Production.ReorderLevels
SET ReorderPoint += CurrentInventory
OUTPUT deleted.ReorderPoint, deleted.CurrentInventory,
 inserted.ReorderPoint, inserted.CurrentInventory
WHERE ProductModelID BETWEEN 75 and 80;
Error 4186 can be corrected in one of the following ways:
 - Use joins instead of subqueries to define the column in the view or function. For example, you can rewrite the view dbo.V1 as follows.
 USE AdventureWorks;
 GO
 CREATE VIEW dbo.V1
 AS
 SELECT City, State
 FROM Person.Address AS a
 JOIN Person.StateProvince AS sp
 ON sp.StateProvinceID = a.StateProvinceID;

 - Examine the definition of the user-defined function. If the function does not perform user or system data access, alter the function to include the WITH SCHEMABINDING clause.
 - Remove the column from the OUTPUT clause.

Charts Inside of Tables
Adding Charts Inside of Tables
Adding charts inside of tables provides a lot of flexibility designing reports as well as organizing and displaying data in a report. The most common way of adding charts inside tables is using an unstructured row and placing the chart inside the row. Unstructured rows are highly customizable allowing you to place charts anywhere within the row of the table.
There are two common locations to place a chart inside a table:
 - Using a Header followed by a chart component.
 - Using a Details Row followed by a chart component.
It is very common to add a chart in an unstructured Header row because then the chart will be at the top of the first page of a report. An unstructured Details row typically works best when used in conjunction with Grouping Data Inside of Tables or Nested Queries so that each row has a chart with data from that group or query.
Adding a Chart Inside a Header Row
This example shows several pieces of hardware including how many pieces were produced, and how many pieces were shipped. A Bar Chart was added after the Header row in the table.
 1. In the Data panel, create a Static CSV data source (i.e., Hardware Data). The dataset is shown below.
 Hardware Dataset
 Hardware, Produced, Shipped
 Nails, 95, 85
 Screws, 80, 60
 Bolts, 50, 47
 2. In the Design panel, drag a Table component on to your report. Drag your Datasource (i.e., Hardware Data) from the Key Browser to the Data Key field, and click the Header box in the Configure Tab.
 3. Next, drag each Data Key (i.e., Hardware, Produced, and Shipped) to a column in your table in Data Details row.
 4. Enter the Header name (i.e., Metal Fastener Numbers Report) in the left column of the Data Header row.
 5. Select the Header row and click on the Row Structure icon to make the row unstructured so you can add a chart.
 note
 You can toggle between a structured and unstructured row by simply clicking the Structure Row icon.
 6. With the Header row selected, drag the row down the page to make room for the chart: click and drag on the dark gray bar titled "Hardware Data Header".
 7. Drag in a Bar Chart from the Report Design Component Palette into the unstructured Header row and expand it. While dragging the chart into the header, you'll notice a blue outline around the Header as you hold the mouse button down while the cursor is in front of the header. This signifies that the chart will be placed directly into the header row, as opposed to in front of the table.
 8. With the chart selected, drag a Datasource (i.e., Hardware Data) to the Data Key of the Configure Tab. Set the Extract Order as 'Column.'
 Extract Order
 For a Bar Chart, Extract Order is the order in which the data is extracted from the data key, by Row or Column. By default, Row is selected. Use Row when columns in the data key define the series of data. Use Columns when rows in the data key define the series of data; each column is a new value for the same series.
 9. Now, let's put your creativity to work and make your report stand out by changing properties. This example changed the following properties:
 - In the Configure Tab - change the third bar color to green.
 - Select Metal Fastener Numbers Report header - change the Font Size to 24 pixels, the Text Color to red, and the Horizontal Alignment to Center in the Properties tab.
 - Select the Bar Chart - enter a name for the Axis Label (i.e., Quantity), and set the Bar Labels to 'true' in the Properties Tab.
 - Select each Data Details cell (i.e., Hardware, Produced, and Shipped), change the Font Size to 14 pixels, and the Hardware Text to blue in the Properties tab.
 The Design panel will update the displayed sample data after changing the properties above.
 10. Go to the Preview panel to view your report.
Adding a Chart Inside a Details Row
Adding a chart inside a Details row duplicates the chart for the number of Detail rows you have in your table, and displays the respective data for each row in the chart. This example shows the Equipment Downtime Details for each piece of equipment: Cause and Downtime in Minutes. It also adds a Bar Chart after the Details row using an unstructured row, and a nested query so that each row has a chart with data from the query. Go to the Nested Queries page and complete the Equipment Downtime example at the bottom if you want to use the same datasets for this example.
 1. Once you have your Data set up from the above example, click on the Design tab and add a table component to your report.
 2. With the table created, add a Header row to the table. Drag all of your Equipment details into the table, and add header titles for each column.
 3. Select the Details row, make the row unstructured , and drag the row down the page to make room for a chart.
 4. Drag a chart from the Report Design Component Palette into the unstructured row and expand it.
 5. With the chart selected, drag a Datasource (i.e., EquipDowntime) from the Key Browser to the Data Key field in the Configure Tab.
 6. If you are using a Bar Chart, set the Extract Order to Column.
 7. Go to the Preview panel to view the report. If you want to make any changes to the chart like changing Segment Colors, adding Bar Labels, or adding a page break, etc., go back to the Design panel to modify any of the chart properties. When you're finished, return to the Preview panel. You'll notice that for each piece of equipment there is a chart and data. You can make each piece of equipment have its own page by setting the Page Break option on the Table under the Configure Table tab.
Using a Chart in a Table with Nested Queries
When working with data from nested queries, representing the sub-query data on a chart in a table row is fairly similar to using two unrelated data sources.
In this example, we used content from two different tables, as shown below.
The Tables
Equipment
This table contains identifiers and descriptions for multiple pieces of equipment. A query named "equipment_list" is used by the report to retrieve this information.
equipment_idequipment_descriptionequipment_name
1North TankTank 101
2South TankTank 202
Equipment_Downtime
This table identifies different downtime events, and the id for the equipment that went down. A query named "downtime_list" is used by the report to retrieve this information.
downtime_idequipment_iddowntime_causedowntime_minutes
11Tank full30
21Pump failure14
32Changeover60
42Pump failure34
52Tank full10
Queries
The query for the 'equipment' data source (an "SQL Query" type query) looks like the following:
SELECT equipment.equipment_id as 'equipment identifier',
equipment.equipment_description,
equipment.equipment_name
FROM equipment
The query for the "equipment_downtime" table (also an "SQL Query" type query) looks like the following:
SELECT equipment_downtime.downtime_cause AS 'Cause',
equipment_downtime.downtime_minutes AS 'Minutes'
FROM equipment_downtime
WHERE equipment_downtime.equipment_id = ?
Configuring the Chart
In this section, we are going to have a Category Chart component show the results of our downtime_list query. Because we're using a table, and a nested query, each row on the table will represent a different piece of equipment from our equipment table.
For this to work, the table component must be assigned the results of the parent query (which would be equipment_list in this case), and then assign downtime_list to our chart.
 1. Create a new table component, and assign "equipment_list" as the Data Key for the table.
 2. Make the Details row unstructured.
 3. Add the equipment_name key to the details row, so we know which piece of equipment is represented by the row.
 4. Add a Category Chart component to the details row of the table.
 5. Set the Data Key on the chart to "downtime_list."
 6. Set the Extract Order of the chart to "Column."
 7. Switch to the Preview panel, you should see each both pieces of equipment, represented as different charts, each showing their totaled downtime reasons.

This simple observation has inspired researchers from the University of Hanover in Germany to come up with 'RainCars', an initiative that aims to use GPS-equipped moving cars as devices to measure rainfall. The most recent results of the project are now published in Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, an open access journal of the European Geosciences Union (EGU).
A car tested under a rain simulator
_URL_, Daniel Fitzner
Rainfall can be very variable across different parts of a region such as Northern Germany. Conventional rain gauges are accurate, but are often distributed too sparsely to capture much of this variation. Having good information about precipitation is important for flood prediction and prevention, for example.
"If moving cars could be used to measure rainfall the network density could be improved dramatically," explains project-leader Uwe Haberlandt, who says the idea for RainCars emerged during a brainstorming session between geoinformatics researchers and hydrologists. With over 40 million cars in Germany alone, and with traffic increasing worldwide, the multi-disciplinary team might be onto a winner.
Now, with a lab equipped with a rain simulator, the researchers have been able to put their idea to the test. They placed cars with different wiper systems under the rain machine, which uses a sprinkler irrigation system with adjustable nozzles to simulate light to heavy rain, to find out exactly how wiper speed relates to rainfall intensity.
In one set of experiments, an individual in the car adjusted the wiper speed manually, depending on the windscreen visibility. "The experiments have shown that the front visibility is a good indicator for rainfall intensity," says Ehsan Rabiei, Haberlandt's collaborator and the paper's lead author. But the measurements could depend on the person adjusting the wiper speed so may not be very reliable.
In another set of experiments, the team used the rain machine to test optical sensors that are installed in many modern cars to automate wipers. The sensors use a system of infrared laser beams that detect when drops of rain accumulate on the surface of the device. Each sensor reading corresponds to a specific amount of water, with more frequent readings corresponding to more intense rainfall.
"The optical sensors measure the rain on the windshield in a more direct and continuous manner so, currently, they would be the better choice for rain sensors in cars," says Haberlandt.
The team could also test the effects of car movement on the measurements by placing the sensors on a rotating device, which simulates car speed, under the rain simulator. By knowing how the readings are affected by car speed, they can correct for this effect when using moving cars to measure rainfall.
But speed is not all that can alter the rain measurements, as Rabiei explains. "Our experiments so far were carried out in an ideal and controlled environment. In nature there are external effects like wind, spray from other cars or shielding trees that can affect the readings, and rainfall characteristics are different from the rain simulator."
However, Haberlandt clarifies, "the value of using moving cars to measure rainfall is not about a higher accuracy of rainfall measurements but about a much higher number of measurement points." In a Hydrology and Earth System Sciences study published in 2010, two of the team members showed that a high number of less accurate rain gauges gives more reliable rainfall readings than a low number of very accurate devices.
The researchers are already working on field experiments using cars to measure real rainfall in and around the city of Hanover. "There are some volunteers, a taxi company and a car company involved in the field experiments. We certainly would like to have some more people engaged."

Whether felling trees, trimming metal pipes, or shortening a 2 x 4 the handsaw is a cutting tool that's been in use since almost the beginning of civilization.
With a design dating back to copper cutting tools 4500 years ago, the handsaw has put in appearances all throughout history.
By 1500 BC the Egyptians were using bronze handsaws to cut stone for sarcophaguses, and by 1700 AD, the saw had become the modern steel cutting machine found in every toolbox.
During the 1800's the saw became steadily more important within the logging industry, as the two-man cross cut saw became the principle tool for felling trees, and a 2 man pitsaw team turned those trees into lumber.

This Agate freeform has been carefully hand-polished to enhance the smooth, glossy lustre of the stone's surface.
This piece displays a large section of marvellous druzy crystals
What Is Amethyst Agate Made Of?
Amethyst Agate is primarily comprised of Amethyst Quartz and Agate
Agate is a member of the Chalcedony group of stones, which is a member of the large Quartz family.
All types of Quartz are composed from silica (otherwise known as silicon dioxide), but differ due to their crystal structures: one form of Quartz is Amethyst, which is included in this particular form of Agate.
What Does Chalcedony Mean?
Chalcedony gems such as Agate are microcrystalline in structure, which means you can't see the crystals inside the stone.
Amethyst Quartz, however, can be observed in crystal form as it is not a form of Chalcedony.
Agate is generally distinguished from other types of Chalcedony due to its banded patterns and translucency: for example, Jaspers tend to be opaque and you cannot see through them if you shine a light through them.
Other types of Chalcedony gemstones include Jasper, Carnelian, and Chrysoprase.
What Is Lavender Amethyst?
Lavender Amethyst is a term used to describe the paler, lilac variety of Amethyst, which tends to come in deep violet varieties.
Other Types Of Agate
Agate comprises a diverse group of stones which can come in many colours and patterns.
Examples include Moss Agate, which demonstrates moss-like patterns, and Cherry Blossom Agate, which displays patterns that look like the flowers of the Cherry Blossom tree.
Eye Agate is a prized form of Agate which displays concentric circles resembling eyes.
Where Does Agate Come From?
Agate in its various forms can be found all over the globe.
This particular piece was sourced from India
Agate History
Agate was first recorded as being discovered in Sicily, near the River Achates, from which it gained its name.
It has been found in many archaeological sites, including in Greece where Agate carvings date back to the Bronze Age.
Agate Crystal Healing Properties
Agate is a renowned stone in the crystal healing world and is useful for bringing harmony, stability, and balance to one's life.
This type of stone comes in many different forms, yet all forms of Agate tend to have a soothing, positive energy which serves to stabilise the body and mind of its user.
Agate Chakras
As Agates are so varied in colour, they tend to resonate with all chakras.
Brown Agates, of which this piece displays elements, resonate with the Root Chakra due to their earthy colouring and thus offer protection and grounding to their users.
Amethyst Agate tends to display light purple, blue, and white tones, and thus can connect to the higher chakras and higher levels of consciousness.
Amethyst Chakras
Amethyst resonates strongly with the Third Eye Chakra and the Crown Chakra, the two highest chakras.
Strongly associated with wisdom, intellect, and creativity, Amethyst is often used to gain inspiration, focus, and clarity of mind, as well as to connect to psychic energies.
Lavender Amethyst also exudes a softer, gentler energy than darker varieties of Amethyst.
Unique Metaphysical Properties Of Amethyst Agate
Consequently, Amethyst Agate combines the best metaphysical properties of Amethyst and Agate.
This stone is very grounding and stabilising, but also inspires spirituality and connection to higher planes of consciousness.
Amethyst Agate, above all, is believed to inspire a sense of calm and peace in its user.
How Hard Is Agate?
Measuring 6.5 to 7 on the Mohs scale, this mineral is relatively hard and durable and resistant to scratching, but care should still be taken not to damage the crystal surface.

FEELING a little dull? Follow the lead of flamingos, which apply make-up to brighten their feathers. This touch-up allows the healthiest birds to continue looking their best, and so helps them signal their status as high-quality mates.
The bright pink colour of flamingos comes from pigments called carotenoids, which the birds acquire from their diet. Only healthy birds can gather enough carotenoids through their food to make bright feathers, but carotenoids fade quickly in sunlight, so feathers bleach over time.
To combat this, the flamingos turn to cosmetics. Juan Amat of the Doñana Biological Station in Seville, Spain, and colleagues found that greater flamingos, Phoenicopterus roseus, secrete the same carotenoid pigments via a gland near their tail.
When they preen, the flamingos spread the pigment over their feathers, brightening their colour. The team found this behaviour...

A Treatise of Wyoming Workers' Compensation Law
This is the Second Edition of A Treatise of Wyoming Workers' Compensation Law, which seeks both to introduce Wyoming workers' compensation students to the law of their own jurisdiction, and to provide a continuing resource to those same students as they embark on workers' compensation legal practice after graduation. In this way, the text fills a gap in the literature by serving as a concrete exemplar of what it means to assist students in becoming "practice-ready" as soon as possible after graduating from law school. In short, practice ready lawyers must have some exposure to the law of their own jurisdictions. Furthermore, Wyoming Workers' Compensation Law is meant to be a resource to all practicing lawyers in the state of Wyoming. This objective is intimately connected with the mission of the University of Wyoming as a Land Grant Institution broadly striving to serve the needs (including legal needs) of Wyoming citizens.
Substantively, the treatise canvasses the traditional areas of workers' compensation law: employee/employer definitions, causal connection to work, evaluation of the extent of disability, types of benefits, and a brief discussion of the Wyoming administrative structure. In several places the treatise first introduces a substantive area of law generally, for example "causal connection," and then focuses on how Wyoming law analyzes the area of law. In discussing some substantive areas of workers' compensation law, the treatise underscores especially unique Wyoming idiosyncrasies. Not content to merely "restate" the law, the treatise in certain areas subjects the law to academic criticism and suggests legal reform in order to stimulate broader discussion of the legal doctrine.

General information about the task:
I need to write the function on C language which takes a byte array (it reperesents package) parse it, do some stuff and return a changed byte array.
My approach:
 char* ParsePackage(const char* byteArray);
typedef struct
 char name[4];
 float value;
} packageStructure;
I use the struct packageStructure to which a byteArray is casted, then I am trying to get data by accessing fields of that struct: "filename.cpp"
include "filename.cpp"
char* ParsePackage(const char* byteArray)
 packageStructure* tmp = (packageStructure*) byteArray;
 // get values of structure fields and do some staff with them:
 return (char*)modifiedByteArray;
I am not satisfied with the result, because the whole data from byte array is written to the first field of the struct, which is a name, to the second filed goes some random value;
So expected questions here are: that I am doing wrong (how to alter my approach to make it work)? Can you offer other methods of parsing byte array?
thanks in advance!

How is the "byte array" created and populated? – Joachim Pileborg Oct 8 '12 at 9:03
int main(void) { ParsePackage("tex123"); return 0; } – spin_eight Oct 8 '12 at 9:05

I'm guessing that "tex" should be the name and 123 should be the value. However as you can see it doesn't work that way, especially with floating point values. You can't convert a number in a string to a floating point value just by casting.
Instead you have to extract the first three characters from the string and put into name, then you have to extract the next three characters and as a string use e.g. strtof to convert the string to a floating point number.
When creating a string again, you can use snprintf for that.
You have to do something like this:
char* ParsePackage(char* byteArray)
 packageStructure tmp;
 /* Extract values from string, first the name */
 memcpy(tmp.name, byteArray, sizeof(tmp.name) - 1);
 tmp.name[sizeof(tmp.name) - 1] = '\0'; /* Make sure it's terminated */
 /* Then the value */
 tmp.value = strtof(&byteArray[3], NULL);
 /* Now do whatever you need to do with the structure... */
 /* Convert back to a string */
 /* For that we need a string */
 static char output[16];
 /* Then put the data from the structure into the string */
 snprintf(output, sizeof(output), "%s%3.0f", tmp.name, tmp.value);
 /* Return the string */
 return output;
However, instead of doing this work yourself you should find a library for serialization, which will handle all the gory details for you.

"tex123" is a string literal right???... as per _USER_'s function invocation. – Jeyaram Oct 8 '12 at 9:21
_USER_ char* ParsePackage(const char* byteArray); – spin_eight Oct 8 '12 at 9:26
_USER_ Pileborg. am I right that to use a serialization I need to include additional libraries(like boost) that arent presented in C standart library. I want to solve my task only by means of C standart library. Also I am searching for the approach where I can get all needed values at ones from data stream into structure, and I wonder if it is possible, if not I need to understand why. – spin_eight Oct 8 '12 at 9:32
_USER_ You can of course implement your own serialization using only standard C, pointer arithmetic and standard functions. Basic serialization is not tha hard, you just have to make sure that the serialized format is well defined. If it's only one structure like in your example, it's very easy by having fixed-sized fields in the "byte stream" (string), otherwise you will have to store the types and possible the field lengths inside the string. – Joachim Pileborg Oct 8 '12 at 9:39
Thanks for the link on serialization, I shall spend my time on reading about it. I have already faced with serialization, but it was much easier for me because I was free to use any libraries, and I used Qt with it's QData stream where serialization and deserialization is a piece of cake compared to one in C language. – spin_eight Oct 8 '12 at 9:59
I am not sure what do you want exactly, but it seems that you want to use the name as a string and the value as a float when the input is a string.
I would do it something like this:
packageStructure ParsePackage(char* byteArray)
 char *modifiedByteArray = malloc(100);
 packageStructure tmp;
 strncpy( tmp.name, byteArray, 3 );
 tmp.name[3] = 0;
 tmp.value = atof(byteArray+4);
 return tmp;

input is byte array, which I got from server, that array(package) is formed in certain format to parse array I am trying to use struct. I know how to parse it unit by unit, but actually i am interested if it is possible to get values from that array using cast to struct – spin_eight Oct 8 '12 at 9:35
_USER_, yes, you can, but the representation of float in memory is not as simple as "123", you can read this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_floating_point – Marcus Oct 8 '12 at 9:43
Marcus,thanks for link – spin_eight Oct 10 '12 at 9:32
_USER_, you're welcome – Marcus Oct 10 '12 at 10:50
As per code, Your text "tex123" is read-only.
 .size ParsePackage,.-ParsePackage
 .section .rodata
 .string "tex123"
 .globl main
 .type main, _USER_
 pushq %rbp
 .cfi_def_cfa_offset 16
 .cfi_offset 6,
so trying to alter that string literal is a bad idea.

ok, thanks for pointing it out. Can you give me some info on casting byte array to struct, can I solve my task by doing this? – spin_eight Oct 8 '12 at 9:36

During my experiments I found that it is possible to cast a byte array to a struct. And this allows to solve task with deserialization in more elegant(my own opinion) way.
My first tries failed because I tested them on the wrong input which was a string literal. Here is the working example:
typedef struct Test
 char name[2] ;
 float number;
 } Test;
char* TestStruct(char* byteArray)
 Test str;
 str = *(Test*)byteArray;
 return byteArray;
int main(void)
 Test str;
 str.number = 0.25;

What is the IRS adoption credit?
Answer by stinkymess (310)
Your income plays a part in the allowable IRS tax credits. You can get credit for adopting a child. The allowable credit is around $12 or $13 thousand dollars.
Answer by egg (30)
An IRS adoption credit is a tax credit offered to adoptive parents to encourage adoption. Qualified expenses include adoption fees, court costs, attorney fees, traveling expenses, etc.
Answer by Chaneygirl (1755)
It is a credit for expenses incurred when adopting an eligle child (under 18 or disabled). It includes legal fees, adoption fees, travel and court costs. It cannot be your spouse's child.
Answer by tamarawilhite (17883)
For adoptions that were completed in 2010, there is a tax credit capped at $13,170. However, this is the maximum per adoption; if your expenses were less, you receive a tax credit to that amount.
Answer by PamelaK (264)
The IRS adoption credit allows you to reduce your taxes owed by a certain amount of the expenses involved in adopting a child.
Answer by hyperkid (470)
Basically an adoption credit is for when you adopt a child you may be able to take out a tax credit (including expenses) for the adopted child. Though it depends on if the adopted child qualifies and the expenses are also quantifiable. The adoption credit is an amount that you subtract from your tax liability.

A Variational Asymptotic Method Based Free Vibration Analysis of a Thin Pretwisted and Delaminated Anisotropic Strip
An asymptotically exact cross-sectional model coupled with geometrically nonlinear one-dimensional (1D) theory of modelling partial delamination in composite beams has been proposed and implemented using the finite element method. This analytical model is based on the dimensional reduction of laminated shell theory to non-linear 1D theory using the variational asymptotic method. Delamination was included in the model by following the sub laminate approach. The final results from this approach will include linear as well as non-linear stiffness terms that account for the delamination length and location in closed form. Ability of the model to capture the trapeze effect, in the healthy and delaminated strip, is demonstrated and the results have been compared with experimental observations. The stiffness terms obtained from the non-linear beam analysis were used in the dynamic analysis. As a first step, only linear stiffness quantities have been used within the 1D linear finite element methods (FEM) that has been adopted to investigate the modal behaviour of the strip. The utility of the model was demonstrated by determining the natural frequencies and mode shapes of a pre twisted and delaminated anisotropic and, where possible, compared to full 3D FEM in order to validate the present approach. The approach shows good agreement with experimental and analytical results.
