Ensemble-Based Coreference Resolution
Altaf Rahman, Vincent Ng
We investigate new methods for creating and applying ensembles for coreference resolution. While existing ensembles for coreference resolution are typically created using different learning algorithms, clustering algorithms or training sets, we harness recent advances in coreference modeling and propose to create our ensemble from a variety of supervised coreference models. However, the presence of pairwise and non-pairwise coreference models in our ensemble presents a challenge to its application: it is not immediately clear how to combine the coreference decisions made by these models. We investigate different methods for applying a model-heterogeneous ensemble for coreference resolution. Empirical results on the ACE data sets demonstrate the promise of ensemble approaches: all ensemble-based systems significantly outperform the best member of the ensemble.

Using Source Tracking to Grow Your Business
vcita's built in source tracking mechanism allows you to quickly identify the origin of a client's contact with your business. Knowing the source of new conversations is critical for accurately analyzing how effective your advertising efforts are. This insight will help you plan productive marketing activities and invest in the channels that are most lucrative.
This article explains how to view source tracking data in your account and describes some of the parameters involved:
- Viewing the Source Tracking Summary
- Viewing the Source of a Conversation
- Viewing the Source of a Booking
- Viewing Client Sources
- Understanding Conversation Sources and Parameters
Viewing the Source Tracking Summary
The Top Sources section of the Dashboard lists all conversation sources and displays the total number of conversations that originated from each source. The source that generated the most conversations is listed first.
To view your top sources, open the Dashboard menu. On the right side of the page, at the bottom of the Recently Active Clients pane, click Top sources.
Clicking a button in the Top sources pane opens a filtered view of the Inbox that displays only conversations originating from the selected source. For more information, refer to Viewing the Source of a Conversation (below).
Note: Notice that third-party sources, as well as any custom sources you create, are included in the Top Sources summary. For more information about common sources and their parameters, click here. For details about creating custom source tagging, click here.
Viewing the Source of a Conversation
You can check all your conversation sources at a glance, directly from your Inbox. The Sources folder contains a list of sources of all conversations stored in the Inbox. Clicking on a source filters the Inbox view to display only conversations that originated from the selected source.
Viewing the Source of a Booking
To see the origin of an individual booking, open the conversation and scroll to the appointment you want to find the source for. Click on the appointment.
Under More info, you will see the source origin. If the source was a website or other internet link, you will be able to click the URL from the Source details popup to view the source page. For more information about checking sources, refer to Understanding Conversation Sources and Parameters.
Clicking on the hyperlinked source opens the Source details popup, where you can see more information about the source. In the example below, we see that the source originated from the Client Portal, along with the Referring URL.
Here is another example of the different types of sources you may encounter. We see that the source message was sent via SMS (not email), and that the message type (Campaign) was a Reminder message.
To view the sources of many conversations simultaneously, you can export your client list. The export report can display information about all scheduled or requested appointments, including the source of the conversation connected with the bookings.
Viewing Client Sources
It is often useful to review the original marketing sources of your client pool. A client's marketing source is the origin of the first conversation with the client. Examples of marketing sources are automatic messages, direct links (e.g., your client portal), imports, etc.
To view the source of an individual client, go to the Clients menu and click on a client. On the 3rd section of the client's main card, click 'Show more' under Contact Information. The source is then listed on the right side of the page, under Additional Info.
To view the sources of many clients simultaneously, you can generate a Client Report. The marketing source of each client will be listed in the Source column of the report.
Possible sources of a client:
- Initiated by staff: imported or added manually by a staff member
- Client portal: Originated from your client portal
- Direct link: Accessed a direct link
- Website: A widget on your website
Understanding Sources and Parameters
The main sources are:
- Initiated by staff: Manually initiated by a staff member
- Website: An internet page from which a client was able to contact you or make a booking.
- Client Portal: A page of your vcita Client Portal. (The Portal is a site dedicated to promoting you and your business.)
- Announcement: A marketing drive that you create within your vcita account and distribute via email or SMS.
- Automatic message: A message generated by vcita to help you automate business workflows. The messages can be is sent via email or SMS.
You can see the referring URL for a website or Client Portal source in the Source details popup (refer to Viewing the Source of a Conversation, above). In the case of a website source, the popup also displays the Channel, or the type of widget that was used as the source. Some examples of website channels are buttons, calendars and contact forms.
When the source is an Announcement, the popup shows the distribution channel (Email or SMS) and the name of the Announcement. Clicking the link opens the Statistics page for the Announcement.
Other sources include third party integrations (e.g., Quickbooks, Zapier, etc.) and customized source tracking links that you have created.

The Integrated Major
Many colleges talk about "integrative learning," but Hiram is one of the few small colleges to create an entire academic structure that fuels such learning. Hiram has created a structure where students in like majors are part of a "School." The School offers courses that prompt you to make connections between ideas and concepts from different disciplines.
As you learn how the theories and methods from your major can shed fresh insight on a topic or issue you are exploring from another disciplinary perspective, your understanding of the topic widens and deepens at the same time.
Students can choose from 29 majors and 38 minors offered in these five schools:
- Arts, Humanities & Culture
- Education, Civic Leadership, & Social Change
- Health & Medical Humanities
- Scarborough School of Business & Communication
- Science & Technology

The New England Aquarium saw the whale and her calf last week in the waters of the Great South Channel, off the Cape Cod elbow.
In January, the errant pair were found in the Gulf of Mexico, off of Panama City. It was the first confirmed sighting of right whales in the Gulf of Mexico in more than 20 years.
Usually right whales come up the east side of the Florida Peninsula. In the Gulf, the pair had to deal with water up to 20 degrees warmer than normal and they had to navigate nearly a thousand miles of unfamiliar territory to reach the Atlantic coast, where they knew their way.
Now the whale is nicknamed Derecha, which means right in Spanish, because of her penchant for Mexico and the warm Gulf waters.

What is a non-manifold mesh
📅 2013-Oct-22 ⬩ ✍ Ashwin Nanjappa ⬩ 🏷 blender, mesh, non-manifold ⬩ 📚 Archive
The non-manifold mesh arises while you are editing meshes using tools like Blender. Certain mesh operations cannot be performed on non-manifold meshes. A non-manifold mesh might have one or more elements with the following properties:
 1. An edge incident to more than two faces.
 2. Two or more faces connected only by a vertex and not by an edge.
 3. Adjacent faces whose normals are pointing in opposite directions.
This video explains these concepts beautifully in Maya.

Playing, learning and recovering in Haiti
Jean Panel Fanfan, UNICEF
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (January 20, 2012) — It might look like simple fun, but the dominos, coloring pencils, construction blocks, hand puppets, puzzle pieces and memory games in Jean Pierre's school are about more than just a good time.
They came from one of the thousands of early childhood development (ECD) kits UNICEF has distributed since Haiti's devastating 2010 earthquake, part of efforts to reintroduce normalcy and stability to the lives of children.
Two years after the quake, many of them are still coming to terms with the trauma of the disaster, which killed hundreds of thousands of people and destroyed a vast number of homes.
Jean Pierre lost his father and mother during the earthquake and now lives with an aunt. "When I play with toys, it removes the sadness inside me and I forget the sorrow and I feel better," he said.
Preparing children for school
These kits are just one part of a broader UNICEF program to help the Haitian government, parents and preschools maximize the potential of ECD—interventions to prepare young children for years of learning and growth.
In addition, UNICEF is providing technical support to BUGEP ("Bureau de gestion de l'Education Préscolaire"), on the development of an ECD policy for Haiti. Yolaine Vandal, the head of BUGEP, understands the value of providing early education to children under age 5, before they even get to school.
"You can see the difference clearly," she said. "The children who have been in preschool have the basics and they are prepared for the curriculum. The kids that have been in preschool already know how to express themselves, how to behave in the classroom, how to concentrate on a task, recognize images, remember things."
UNICEF is also supporting a BUGEP training for 300 educators, who will then spread their skills to other teachers, Vandal said. These skills include learning how to monitor pupils on a daily basis and evaluating individual children's well-being.
In addition, since the earthquake, UNICEF has reached tens of thousands of children with ECD kits, which help preschools teach foundational skills to children, such as sorting, organizing and relating items to each other.
"Even bright children can be left behind without a good preschool experience. This can have long-term consequences," Vandal said.
The ECD program also includes education for parents on non-classroom aspects of child development. Parents learn proper nutrition and sanitation to protect children from waterborne diseases, and what they can do at home to help their children prepare for school.
"We help parents see how to help their kids with writing, drawing and simple design. This is very important for development," said Vandal. "You can see clearly the changes in the kids that are getting this kind of development."
A sense of security and normalcy
St. Benedict School serves a population of people whose homes were destroyed by the 2010 earthquake. The families remain displaced by the disaster, living in tents or other temporary shelters nearby.
Located in a UNICEF tent on a former golf course in Port-au-Prince, St. Benedict overflows with toddlers between 2 and 6 years old, all of them busily engaged in playful activities.
Guided by instructors, the children use crayons, modelling clay, building blocks, and other materials to build houses, cars, people and other objects reminiscent of a normal childhood.
"The ECD kit gives children a sense of security and fun that they often do not find at home," said Emanuela Itacy, the kindergarten's head instructor.
"Sometimes," he added, "the children are so engaged that they do not want to go home."

Daycare May Benefit Moms Suffering from Depression -- and Their Kids
Enrolling the children of depressed moms in daycare can have emotional, psychological, and social benefits -- even when the toddlers get just half a day of care each week, reports CNN.
The study of Australian moms was relatively small -- only 400 families -- but it's the first of its kind to show that children who get even a few hours of daycare a week when their moms are suffering from depression had fewer behavioral problems at the age of five.
Researchers theorize that giving the moms a short break helps them be better parents when they are with their kids, and that it can also help boost their energy levels -- "It's tiring parenting a child all day, and if you're depressed even more tiring," explains one professor -- and that the kids benefit from the socialization at day care, which they may not get if mom is too depressed to make playdates and Mommy and Me a priority.
"Toddlerhood is a time when social interactions are very important developmentally. Mothers with depression may be less able to engage in social opportunities for their toddler. So child care may also help with socialization for toddlers of depressed mothers," says Lynne Giles, Ph.D., the study's author.
The study suggests that children who were cared for at formal settings -- not at a relative or friend's house -- received the most benefits, though the researchers point out that the results would need to be replicated.

Georgetown, Washington, DC
In the center of Georgetown, lying along Rock Creek is a 19th century garden park cemetery rivaled only by Boston's Mount Auburn Cemetery in graciousness and a sense of community.
Oak Hill Cemetery is a historic 22-acre cemetery and botanical garden located in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. It includes the Oak Hill Cemetery Chapel and Van Ness Mausoleum which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Oak Hill Cemetery was founded by Mr. William Wilson Corcoran. In 1848, he purchased 15 acres along Rock Creek from relatives of George Washington. When the Cemetery Company was incorporated by Act of Congress on March 3, 1849, Mr. Corcoran contributed the land to the Company.
James Renwick, Jr., architect of the original Smithsonian Building designed the iron enclosure and the Chapel (built in 1849) which is a representation of the finest English specimens of old Gothic chapels. The cemetery itself is a major example of the 19th century Romantic movement, the natural and not formal English garden, an acceptance and blending of nature rather than a geometrical imposition.
Because of Oak Hill's age, its history is largely 19th century, with emphasis on the Civil War. The burials and monuments are mostly for that period. All lots were sold long ago and, until recently, the only new interments possible were in the few spaces remaining in old family lots. Recently, a new project has been started to renovate the paths and walkways.

Angelica 14 is a pain relieving formula, mainly intended for treatment of headache, neck pain, and other upper-body pains. The formula is based on several traditional prescriptions: Ophiopogon and Asarum Combination, Cnidium and Tea Formula, and Chiang-huo Combination. The traditional description of the pain syndrome is stagnation due to invasion of wind. This is a condition in which the blood vessels contract, producing the pain sensation. The upper body is most susceptible to wind. Several of the herbs of this formula are said to dispel wind and relieve surface congestion, including angelica, chrysanthemum, cnidium, chiang-huo, siler, and vitex. Except for chrysanthemum, these herbs have a warming quality: the warming nature of the herbs is a contributor to the desired rapid effect, which is a strong dispersing action. Scute, rehmannia, and chin-chiu clear internal heat and prevent heat agitation from exacerbating the surface wind. Although this formula is intended for short-term use in treating individual bouts of wind invasion, with appropriate accompanying treatments it can be utilized as a preventive agent for those who experience repeated wind invasion. Easy susceptibility to wind invasion suggests that the vessels are not richly supplied with qi and blood. In cases of blood stasis causing headache, add or substitute Cnidium 9 or Upper Palace Tablets; for wind-heat, try Chrysanthemum 9, and for liver fire headache, try Long Dan Xie Gan Wan.

We systematically reviewed cohort studies (identified after searching through MEDLINE) from the period of January 2001 to August 2011 to find out the relation of degree of coffee consumption with development of diabetes mellitus. Information on study design, participant characteristics, measurement of coffee consumption and outcomes, adjustment for potential confounders, and estimates of associations was reviewed independently by 3 reviewers. The review included 13 cohort studies including 12, 47,387 participants and 9473 incident cases of type 2 diabetes. We compared the risk of diabetes amongst people with different degrees of coffee consumption.
We concluded that habitual coffee consumption is associated with a lower risk of type 2 diabetes. Participants who drank 4 to 6 cups and more than 6 to 7 cups of coffee per day had a lower risk of type 2 diabetes compared with those who drank less than 2 cups per day. Advantage of filtered coffee over pot boiled, decaffeinated coffee over caffeinated coffee and stronger inverse correlation in < 60 years age group was also noted. However, based on this review, increasing coffee consumption as a public health strategy can't be recommended. More detailed studies of coffee consumption, including appropriate measures of postprandial hyperglycemia and insulin sensitivity, are required.

The Ghana Shippers Authority has called for a comprehensive revision of the maritime law to effectively regulate activities at the country's ports.
Benonita Bismarck, the Chief Executive of the Maritime Authority, explained the importance of revising the maritime law. According to her, the revision of the maritime law is necessary because it will help address critical setbacks, particularly the escalating issue of piracy attacks.
The Chief Executive of the Authority made this known when speaking at the 14th Maritime Law Seminar for selected justices of the High Court. Bismarck underscored the importance of ensuring security in the maritime domain.
The seminar served as a platform to discuss strategies for enhancing security measures in Ghana's waters. Recent reports indicate that there were 84 recorded piracy attacks on ships in the Gulf of Guinea in 2020, highlighting the severity of the issue.
In light of these challenges, Bismarck stressed the need to revise the Maritime law to effectively address emerging problems and regulate port activities.
Bismarck explained the limitations of using outdated legislation to tackle present-day issues. She noted that lack of modern law is inhibiting the delivery of justice.
"It is difficult to use a law that doesn't contain all the provisions needed to address current issues. At the time, piracy in the Gulf of Guinea was unknown. As an administrator of justice, you need to apply the law, but if it is not there, how can you give what you don't have? We need to revise the law to ensure that it is in consonance with what is happening currently."Benonita Bismarck
The Significance of a Stronger Maritime Law
The Chief Justice of Ghana, Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, on her part, further emphasized the significance of a stronger maritime law as the country anticipates increased port activities due to the Africa Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA).
According to the Chief Justice, with the expected surge in trade, the need for a robust legal framework becomes crucial to address the associated challenges effectively.
The call for revising the maritime law reflects the commitment of Ghana's authorities to ensure the safety and efficiency of maritime operations. By enacting comprehensive regulations, Ghana aims to foster a secure environment for trade and strengthen its position as a key player in the regional maritime industry.
In broadest terms, the maritime industry includes all enterprises engaged in the business of designing, constructing, manufacturing, acquiring, operating, supplying, repairing and/or maintaining vessels, or component parts thereof. It also includes managing and/or operating shipping lines, stevedoring, customs brokerage services, shipyards, dry docks, marine railways, marine repair shops, shipping and freight forwarding services and similar enterprises.
Politically, the presence of a maritime industry gives nations leverage over other landlocked countries in the region. Therefore, revising the maritime laws to contain new laws is very important in harnessing the maritime industry.

Let Gm,k := Z/mZ
× Z/mkZ be an abelian group of rank 2 and order N = mk
does there exist a ﬁnite ﬁeld Fp and an elliptic curve E/Fp such that E(Fp )
≃ Gm,k? We
show that this happens with probability 0 when k is very small with respect to m, and
with probability 1 when k is big enough with respect to m. The fact that the groups Gm,k
are more likely to occur when k is big is reminiscent of the Cohen-Lenstra heuristics which
predict that a random abelian group G occurs with probability weighted by _TAG_/_TAG_(G).
By counting the average number of times that a given group Gm,k occurs over the ﬁnite
ﬁelds Fp (and not simply when a given group occurs or not), we are able to verify that
the probability of occurrence of the groups Gm,k is indeed weighted by the Cohen-Lenstra
This is joint work with V. Chandee, D. Koukoulopoulos and E. Smith.

Going to need more context here. Where is asteroidParent being used that it isn't declared?
Yes and no.
For things you create arbitrarily, you are right—these could be greatly benefited by classes. I would probably have it that var would not be allowed to represent these classes, except possibly through the C# approach. There's no denying how extremely useful it would be to have object-oriented file, UI, and data structure code.
Instances, you are beginning to push the limit. It is useful to be able to say, at very least for the purpose of static analysis, that other is an obj_wall, or that instance_nearest(x, y, obj_missile) is an obj_missile. But do we really want to have you check inst instanceOf obj_missile, then cast? I'd hear an argument either way.
Resources, you have hit the limit. There is little reason to ever have spr_some_guy be anything but an integer. Let's choose a raw, gaping sore in GML as an example: sounds. Users have always been plagued by how large their audio resources end up being in GM. In the golden days, large audio files corrupted game files left and right, and even when they did not, insane save times kicked in. Pissed-off users would eventually be driven to store their sounds externally. We just recently got bitten in the ass by Round II of this issue as it became clear that optimizing sound storage for insert instead of access was the better move. This is wrong on so many levels.
The beauty of the resource tree is that your resources are managed for you—you don't need to know anything about where, when, or how sound0 was loaded. You just play it and it works. On your side, it's an integer; you can't get any simpler an opaque pointer than that. Behind the scenes, that sound may or may not be loaded, or actually even exist. We can replace this mechanism with some sort of weak reference class, but why would we? An integer serves the purpose fine.
I wouldn't argue against the use of, eg, typedef size_t sprite_t; to allow us to offer object-oriented features for these resources. But then, does spr.exists() really make any sense?
Just some considerations. I would be fine with a statically typed var of some sort, honestly.
General ENIGMA / Re: Fun with imge_single
« on: July 25, 2014, 08:36:29 PM »
As I said, accessing the caller's image_index is already an ugly operation. When it happens, usually the access is one add+dereference (which we're replacing with two and a conditional) followed by shitloads of additional data moves or comparisons that actually work with the image data. The loss from this overhead is negligible compared to what is done with the image data. I'd probably use an inline function to handle it (as opposed to an accessor).
The code you gave works in the current system; I'm going to assume that what you meant was this:
Code: (EDL) [Select]
image_index = 2;
image_single = 4;
show_message(stsring(image_index)); // Prints "4"
image_single = -1;
show_message(stsring(image_index)); // Prints "2"
In this case, you're right; the obvious solution is to give image_single a special accessor, but then, you're also right that I have no interest in pulling this into upstream ENIGMA. :P

Write a custom terminal emulator that, upon printing a character, deletes the entire content of the terminal by filling it with spaces, then re-prints everything, including the new character. That might get it to be as slow. Probably not worth the effort, though.
Disclaimer: Not implying that's what Windows does. I can't conceive of why the Windows command prompt is that damn slow. Especially since it takes so many disgusting shortcuts.
Developing ENIGMA / Re: Android
« on: July 23, 2014, 10:11:42 PM »
So, the point of ENIGMA's multiple makefiles is just to let systems specify the source files they include and the libraries they depend on. They operate under two assumptions:
1. You will be compiling some C++ sources into object files in order to build the C++ engine.
2. You will be linking the objects you have compiled into a standalone executable when finished.
Presently, (2) also assumes that the binary you use for linking is the same one you use for compiling. That can be changed. You can also inject additional dependencies and provide targets for them in Android-specific makefiles.
The big issue is, from what we discussed, that Android seems to compile sources into object files, but then there's some nebulous form of magic used to link those objects into a shared object to be loaded by the operating system (namely, through JNI). Unfortunately, I can't make you any recommendations until I can figure out (or someone tells me) what the hell that operation is.

The behavior you describe is much simpler than you appear to be modeling it. It's a symptom of having two variables. Instead of using caller->image_index, and having image_single influence image_index directly, the following are happening:
Instead of if (image_single!= -1) image_index = image_single; else { /* image_speed logic... */ }, you would simply put if (image_single == -1) { /* image_speed logic... */ }, doing nothing otherwise.
Then in place of caller->image_index, you use caller->image_single == -1? caller->image_index : caller->image_single.
This method is a little slower, yes, but not by enough for anyone to ever really notice. Having functions use the caller's state is dirty, anyway. I wouldn't mind pulling such a patch.
General ENIGMA / Re: Indentation Styles
« on: July 20, 2014, 09:44:22 PM »
My aversion to tabs is that they have not been assigned a logical width. People individually choose how big they want their tabs. While that's great for personalization, it's bad for consistency. You can't align variables easily, or use half-indentations or double-indentations without explosion (my double is 4 spaces; some are 16). The biggest offender is when people try to line up variables after "int" or "var." It's not really my style, but it happens; exactly four spaces of indent are required to pad the next line so that all the identifiers line up. You can use spaces to do exclusively the non-indentation alignment, of course, assuming your editor lets you, but I've never seen anyone pull that off.
The lack of size agreement leads to more solid problems, in my case. GNU style seems to be two-space indent, but any leading eight spaces of indent are replaced with a single tab character. This means for me to correctly view anything GNU, I have to set my tab width to eight. My preferred tab width is two. When you send me a file and every fucking line is indented eight tabs, I flip shit. I find lately that I leave my tab widths both at two and manually replace "\t" with " " in GNU sources.
So yes, in a perfect world, everyone agrees, and we all use tabs. In this world, tabs are any multiple of 1 in size (even that's not playing it safe—some people don't use fixed-width editors, but no one cares what they think). Spaces, however, I have never noticed to be rendered as anything other than a single space of width, with or without special coloring or symbolage to denote that there's actually a character there. So I use two spaces, and my code looks the same whether it's loaded in emacs, in vim, in MS fucking Notepad, or in an actual code editor.

DARPA's Autonomous High-Altitude Refueling (AHR) program hopes to bring autonomous refueling to the Global Hawk and other flying robots. A recent DARPA news release says the AHR program has completed a test flight that brings their goal one step closer. During the test, two Global Hawks flew within 100 feet or less of each other for 2.5 hours at 44,800 feet. The aircraft were fitted with a refueling probe and a receiver drogue, which were brought into the correct orientation to connect but were not actually connected during this test flight. According to Jim McCormick of DARPA:
"The goal of this demonstration was to create the expectation that future HALE aircraft will be refueled in flight. Such designs should be more affordable to own and operate across a range of mission profiles than systems built to satisfy the most stressing case without refueling. The lessons from AHR certainly extend beyond the HALE flight regime, and insights into non-traditional tanker concepts may offer further operational advantages."
Read on for two videos showing the Global Hawks during one of the approach maneuvers from the point of view of each UAV.


Adding the last bit to a mask that covers everything but an image of the iPhone...

Struggling to get everything outside a photo of the iPhone not to show. Learning about masks but not great at it.
Seems like there should be a way to select the extra bit with a wand, but even when I merge all the layers so I can do that, and copy the resulting bit, I don't know how to add that bit to the mask. I describe the problem in this little video:
Appreciate any tips!

Hi ajg23.
There are two ways of commonly masking things: masks (a.k.a. opacity masks, layer masks) and clipping masks. They work in different ways but achieve similar results. Although I'm a big fan of clipping masks, I'll stick to layer masks here as they are (in my opinion) a little easier to use.
A layer mask is a supplementary bitmap added to a layer (or group) that modifies its opacity. Where the mask is white, the layer (or group) is opaque, where it is black the layer (or group) is transparent.
Let's start with your unmasked image. Here's my 1 minute mock-up:
Let's add a mask to the group of objects. When you create a mask, it is affected by any active selections, so let's deselect before we do anything.
1. Cmd-D to deleclect.
2. Right-click on the group of objects and select Add Mask.
Now, you can paint on the mask itself.
3. In the layers palette click one the mask so that it is selected and in the canvas, with a sharp-edged black brush, paint out the bits you don't want.
Job done. If you go to far and paint out something you want to keep, switch to a white brush and paint it back in.
That's it, that's all you need to get this done, but I did mention something earlier about selections. If you have a selection active when you create a mask, rather than creating an all-white mask, Pixelmator will create a mask that is white where the selection was active and black everywhere else.
If you have a bit of time on your hands, now is the time try it. To remove your mask, right click on it in the layers panel and Remove Mask. Make the selection that you want then right-click and Add Mask again. If this isn't exactly what you want, you can always paint in/out more of the mask later. You may need to deselect first, though, as a selection will affect where you can/cannot paint.
Hope this helps. If anything is unclear, just come back and I (or someone else) will be bound to come back and help.

What about a component-based engine?
You would have a main class named
Engine, which would keep a list of
GameScreens, which would themselves hold a list of
The engine has an
Update and a
Draw method and both call the
Draw methods, which themselves go through every component and call
Presented like that, I agree that it sounds like a poor and repetitive design. But believe me, my code became much cleaner by using a component-based approach than it did with all my old manager classes.
It's much simpler to maintain such code too, since you're just going through a big class hierarchy and not having to search through
BackgroundManager for all the specific different backgrounds. You just have a
StaticBackground, etc. which all derive from a
You'll eventually build up a pretty solid engine that you can reuse over all your projects with a lot of frequently used components and helper methods (e.g. a
FrameRateDisplayer as a debugging utility, a
Sprite class as a basic sprite with a texture and extension methods for vectors and random number generation).
You would no longer have a
BackgroundManager class, but a
Background class which would manage itself instead.
When your game starts, all you have to do is this basically:
// when declaring variables:
// when initializing:
engine = new Engine();
// when updating:
// when drawing:
And that's it for your game start code.
Then, for the main menu screen:
class MainMenuScreen : MenuScreen // where MenuScreen derives from the GameScreen class
const int ENEMY_COUNT = 10;
public override void Initialize()
background = new StaticBackground();
player = new Player();
enemies = new List();
base.AddComponent(background); // defined within the GameScreen class
for (int i = 0; i < ENEMY_COUNT; ++i)
Enemy newEnemy = new Enemy();
You get the general idea.
You would also keep the reference of the
Engine within all your
GameScreen classes, to be able to add new screens even within a
GameScreen class (e.g. when the user clicks on the StartGame button while within your
MainMenuScreen, you can transition to the
The same goes for the
Component class: it should hold the reference of its parent
GameScreen, to have both access to the
Engine class and its parent
GameScreen to add new components (e.g. you can make a HUD-related class called
DrawableButton which holds a
DrawableText component and a
You can even apply other design patterns after that, like the "service design pattern"(not sure about the exact name) where you can keep different useful services within your
Engine class(you simply keep a list of
IServices and let other classes add services themselves). e.g. I would keep a
Camera2D component over all my project as a service to apply its transformation when drawing other components. This avoids having to pass it as a parameter everywhere.
In conclusion, there certainly may be other better designs for an engine, but I found the engine proposed by this link very elegant, extremely easily maintainable and reusable. I would personally recommend at least trying it.

The Glare sensor detects and distinguishes glare on even surfaces. It also provides maximum reliability and saves costs. Previously, gloss on object surfaces was a disruptive factor that regularly had engineers breaking into a sweat.
Now, gloss properties are a distinguishing criterion for process control – regardless of color, transparency or pattern. And it will be engineers' eyes that shine, not their brows. Equipped with intelligent Delta-S-Technology, Glare is a further milestone in customer-oriented sensor development. Once again, SICK is confirming its leading position in opto-electronic sensors for the detection of a range of objects.

:
 1. Braces delimiting a macro argument do not create a scope (they are consumed on parsing the argument). However, some commands will themselves introduce a brace group in their expansion. The following will not be typeset ragged right, because the implementation of \emph expands its argument inside a brace group:
 \emph{\raggedright Some text I tried to typeset italic and ragged right.}
 2. The braces around a macro definition also do not create a scope, allowing us to write things like
 \newcommand\mybold{this: \bfseries}
 Everything after \mybold is now set in boldface.
 which produces:
 Everything after this: is now set in boldface.
 3. LaTeX's \begin{something} and \end{something} macros internally add a brace group, so they are scope delimiters.
share|improve this answer
AFAIK, LaTeX does use the "delimited arguments" in picture environment. – mbork Nov 18 '12 at 12:49
Hmm, you mean the arguments delimited by parentheses, _USER_? That's another case of "internal" use, I'd say. LaTeX uses the feature to define its command syntax, but you can't specify arbitrary delimiters to your own macros with \newcommand, \ProvideCommand, etc.-- and since the LaTeX Gods direct us to only use the LaTeX interface, arbitrary delimiters are effectively forbidden. (With the very partial exception, now that I think about it, of the \verb command.) – alexis Nov 18 '12 at 19:35
no one seems to have mentioned that latex files are sometimes converted automatically to (for example) xml/mathml, and such converters may require scoping by braces where (la)tex itself does not.
share|improve this answer
If a conversion tool is so simplistic that it cannot apply TeX's tokenization rules, it's not going to be very useful anyway. – alexis Nov 13 '12 at 20:22
_USER_ -- it has often been pointed out that only tex can effectively parse and process tex code. witness the file xii.tex. i'll leave it at that. – barbara beeton Nov 13 '12 at 21:14
Certainly, but the lack of braces around tokens is not what makes this difficult. – alexis Nov 13 '12 at 21:37
I like to write as few brackets as possible. I "learned" this style after reading the TeXbook, since Knuth defines many macros in such a way that no brackets are needed.
I find his style much nicer and economical than LaTeX's usual definitions, where one needs to use brackets in many places, e.g. \chapter{Some title}. His macros are usually terminated by \par, so you write
\beginchapter Some title
and you're done (you just need to make sure to have a blanck line following it). The definition is in manmac.tex in case you're curious (it actually requires the chapter number followed by a dot before the title, but the idea is what counts here).
For another example, look at how his "letter" format on pag. 403 requires no brackets in any place. That's sheer elegance, IMHO.
After reading the TeXbook I realized how superflous brackets can be if you define your macros conveniently.
That's just one aspect of the use of brackets though.
share|improve this answer
That's ok for plain, but bad for LaTeX (as _USER_ explains). – Martin Schröder Nov 16 '12 at 14:21
There are a few places in TeX where braces are a required part of the syntax but those are few. When it comes down to arguments then TeX accepts a single token without surounding braces so \mathrm i would work if "typeset". But try this:
\section{$\mathrm \x$}
and you will get a subtle error in your output (but no error message):
enter image description here
The reason is that \x is suddenly turned during processing into its components so what LaTeX sees when typesetting the TOC is $\mathrm log$ and thus only picks up "l" as the argument.
For this reason, the LaTeX manual claims that all arguments have to have braces even if this is technically not true.
Personally, I do not use braces in all such cases, but whenever the single token is a command one better think twice before omitting the braces because even if it appears to work it may not do so.
share|improve this answer
+1 for a very good example! I believe that something like \ProvideDocumentCommand exists that would overcome this problem? – yo' Nov 13 '12 at 13:46
_USER_ what you are thinking of is \DeclareRobustCommand because that is what would prevent the expansion messing things up. But my point was simply to show that because TeX is a macro language we have to understand that data gets expanded and not just "processed" once in a while and that has its own rules. Which is why the statement in your answer which i translate to "it doesn't matter" is simply not true always... it only doesn't matter sometimes and you need to know when which is non-trivial. And therefore LaTeX claims that they are always needed! – Frank Mittelbach Nov 13 '12 at 16:12
I don't say that braces does not matter generally. The OP clearly asks "... evevn if the result is the same", which I answer by saying: "If the result is the same, the result is the same", which is certainly a true statement. – yo' Nov 13 '12 at 19:50
_USER_ of course you are technically right: if there is no difference there is no difference. But my fear is that people reading your answer will take away from it not the wrong conclusion, i.e., not realizing that what appears to make no difference may be under certain circumstance result in a difference which is unfortunately the nature of the beast. – Frank Mittelbach Nov 13 '12 at 20:02
I added a disclaimer, you're right that it seems to be necessary. – yo' Nov 13 '12 at 20:53
The LaTeX book consistently uses {} in all cases so all the examples use that form, you always see a^{2} even though everyone knows that a^2 works just as well and arguably improves the look of the source.
When the command taking the argument is a macro and the argument is necessarily a single token, most people drop the brackets as a matter of course so
rather than
and that is effectively standard LaTeX syntax now as well.
However the equivalence between a single unbraced token and a brace group is most consistently implemented for macros. For TeX primitives sometimes they are equivalent and sometimes not. So you can go
\fbox{a} \fbox a
and they do the same thing (although I would never do the latter) but
boxes a but
\hbox a
! Missing { inserted.

More problematic are places where people omit brackets, relying on the parsing rules of a TeX primitive, which then breaks when you later load a package that redefines the command to give extra functionality.
A common example is sub or super scripting. You can go
which produces a to the half times b, but often it would be nice to redefine the ^ character to be an active character (or \mathcode"8000 character) with definition defined by \def or \newcommand If you do that, any properly braced usage still works but an example such as the above would then be equivalent to
The frac would then raise an error that it was missing its arguments.
A usage such as
would work whether the arguments of ^ where parsed as a TeX primitive superscript or as a macro.
Thus users ignoring the rules in the LaTeX book and not always bracing arguments can cause problems and limit the scope of package designers. (The standard LaTeX2e \frac and \mathrm and friends were explicitly designed to cope with that unbraced superscript use, on the grounds that keeping users happy was probably better than assuming they followed instructions.)

What does Criteria mean in this sentence?
Asked by ah020387 (49 points ) November 21st, 2010
What does 'criteria' mean in the following sentence: Cyclone is a weather system that fits all the criteria for a hurricane
Observing members: 0 Composing members: 0
7 Answers
jazzjeppe's avatar
Basically means that it might as well be called a hurricane? I guess?
jaytkay's avatar
Hi, _USER_. Welcome to Fluther!
Criteria is the plural of criterion.
Criterion: a characterizing mark or trait
So in that sentence, it means cyclones are hurricanes. They have all the traits of hurricanes.
Jeruba's avatar
This would mean that there are several defining characteristics of a hurricane—tests or questions that determine if it's a real hurricane. Those characteristics are criteria. (One of them is a criterion.) The sentence says that a cyclone meets those tests, and the implication is that it can therefore be called a hurricane.
laureth's avatar
If you made a checklist of all the things that a hurricane needs to be a hurricane, and then looked at the qualities of a cyclone and checked them off on that list, all the little ticky boxes would be duly ticked.
Seelix's avatar
My first thought when I read your sentence was "requirements".
lillycoyote's avatar
Not to get all pedantic here, or off the subject of what "criteria" means, and I don't want to confuse things but, where did this sentence come from? I ask because I think it's misleading, if not actually pretty much wrong; it's really the kind of the other way around in terms of what defines a cyclone v.s. a hurricane; what the criteria are for defining a hurricane as opposed to some other type of cyclone.
A cyclone is the overarching term for a particular kind of storm; hurricane is the term used for a particular kind cyclone, for a particular kind of tropical cyclone, as a matter of fact... the term hurricane "is used for Northern Hemisphere tropical cyclones east of the International Dateline to the Greenwich Meridian."
The above quote comes from the glossary provided by the National Hurricane Center
More than you wanted to know, I imagine, but if that sentence came from a text book or a published article, or from anywhere, really, it bothers me that it's innacurate; at least according to my knowledge and understanding of cyclones and hurricanes.
CyanoticWasp's avatar
You beat me to it, _USER_. Hurricanes are a subset of all cyclones, in the primary meaning of the word (according to Merriam-Webster) meaning "a storm system rotating about a center, advancing at a certain speed and capable of bringing heavy rain". But not all cyclones are hurricanes, because hurricanes have a minimum wind speed of 75 mph, and not all cyclones have that.
The word "cyclone" has several meanings, one of which is more or less synonymous with "tornado", but a tornado does not fit one of the major criteria for hurricanes, namely "size".
The word "criteria" has been defined well, but the example sentence has problems of its own.

TASK #1 – Define the Class
Write a class called ServerGroup, which will be a simple custom-made data structure. It will be special-purpose,
so it is NOT a template.
It is used to represent serving people waiting in a line.
The private section will have a pointer to a
dynamic integer array called servers,
an integer variable called spServer, and an integer variable called freeServer.
It will also be useful to have a variable representing the size of the array (number of elements).
The following member functions should be in the class:
-the constructor, which passes an integer into the function
that is used to set the number of elements in the array (representing the number of general-purpose servers).
It also sets the elements in the array to 0 and spServer to 0.
-A function called spServerFree, that will
return true if SpServer is 0 and false otherwise (this represents the number of clock ticks until the special-purpose server is free;
if the integer is 0, the server is already free).
-A function called serverFree, that returns true
if it finds a 0 in the array and a false otherwise (these integers also represent the number of clock ticks
until the corresponding servers are free).
If it finds a 0 in the array, it will set freeServer to the index of that element
(freeServer has the index of one of the servers that are free).
-A function called useServer that passes in an integer parameter,
avTransTime, and set servers[freeServer] to avTransTime (avTransTime is the average transaction time, in clock ticks, to server a person in the line).
A function called usespServer, that will pass in an integer parameter,
avTransTime, and set spServer to avTransTime (this is the same function as d) except that it is for the special-purpose servers where d) is for general purpose servers).
-A function called decServers, that will decrement spServer by 1, unless spServer is already 0.
If it is 0, it stays the same.
The decServers function will also decrement
each element in the array by 1, unless the element is already 0.
For example, if the array is 0 5 6 0 0 10,
then after decServers is called,
the array is 0 4 5 0 0 9 (this is called when a click tick of time elapses).
Place the class files in files with appropriate names (i.e., ServerGroup.h and ServerGroup.cpp)
TASK #2 – Test the Class
You are to implement a program that uses the ServerGroup class.
It should create a ServerGroup object, and then call all of the functions.
The best way to do it is to write a temporary print function in the class to print out the values of the array and the other private values.
When you know it works, just comment out this function (do not delete it!)

The short answer is that the speed of sound is the fastest the air can get out of its own way, so if you try to move air faster, it builds up and gets out of the way at the fastest speed it can: the speed of sound.
Slightly longer: An airplane (or anything else moving through air) is continuously disturbing the air all around it - building a pressure profile - and this disturbance propagates and creates itself at the speed of sound. When the airplane reaches the speed of sound, the air in front of it can no longer get away from the plane to build that pressure profile because to do that, it would have to move faster than the speed of sound. So it piles-up at the leading edge and propagates away along a straight line, who'se angle is determined by the speed of the object vs the speed of sound. That's the shock wave.

Talking Turkey: Choosing the Right Turkey for You
November 10, 2012
Talking Turkey: Choosing the Right Turkey for You
The turkey will be the star of your Thanksgiving dinner, so you want to make sure you choose one that's worthy of top billing. But how do you pick the right turkey with so many options out there? Check out our guide to selecting the perfect bird for you.
Figure out how much bird you need. Plan to have 1 ½ to 2 pounds of turkey per person you're serving. You should err on the side of 2 pounds per person if you're only having a few guests (smaller turkeys have more bones to meat than their plumper counterparts), if your guests are hearty eaters, or if you like those day-after sandwiches.
Select the right type of turkey. There's more than one way to raise and prep a turkey—so you have plenty of options for your Thanksgiving feast. Some turkey growers may use the same term to describe very different styles of raising turkeys, so read the label carefully to ensure you know exactly what you're getting.
 - Self-Basted These are the traditional turkeys you grew up with—they've been injected with butter, broth or salt water to ensure a moist turkey, though not necessarily the most flavorful one. Some brands come with a built-in temperature sensor that pops out when the turkey's done, making cooking a cinch. Just keep in mind you can get the same results with an old-fashioned meat thermometer, which you can use for other roasts.
Why You Might Like This: The self-basted turkey, with its built-in temperature sensor, takes a lot of the guesswork (and work) out of making a turkey, making it easier for a Thanksgiving newbie to get great results.
 - Natural When you're talking turkey, "natural" generally means that there's been no added preservatives or chemicals during the preparation for market. Sometimes, it can even mean that the turkey was raised in a more natural way, with a vegetarian feed and no antibiotics. Read the label carefully to see exactly what that particular grower means.
Why You Might Like This: If you're concerned about preservatives and other chemicals in your food, getting a natural turkey will minimize your exposure.
 - Kosher Kosher birds are raised and prepped in accordance with Jewish laws. That means that they've been subjected to a cool water bath and a serious salting before they hit your table. You'll likely be able to skip the brining process if you opt for a kosher bird.
Why You Might Like This: Even people who don't follow a kosher diet may want a kosher turkey—this turkey comes prebrined, so you don't have to do that.
 - Organic Organic turkeys need to be raised to strict standards to get that label. They aren't given growth hormones or antibiotics, and eat organic, pesticide-free feed that doesn't contain animal byproducts.
Why You Might Like This: Organic food will limit your exposure to chemicals—and organic turkeys will be free of hormones, antibiotics and pesticides that you might find in non-organic turkeys.
 - Free Range and Pastured "Free range" simply means that the turkeys aren't cooped up for their entire lives—but the amount of outdoor access varies, so read the label to see how much outdoor time your turkey actually had. Pastured birds likely spent much of their life out in the sun, eating their native diet of insects and grass, which could give you a more flavorful bird.
Why You Might Like This: If you're concerned about humane farming practices, a free-range or pastured bird will likely have been given more room to move and a more natural life.
 - Heritage If you want to taste a turkey like the Pilgrims ate, try a heritage turkey. These are unique breeds of turkey that are descended from the original domesticated turkeys, and are usually grown in humane conditions, including pasturing and grazing on grass and insects. Their meat is darker and more flavorful than a standard turkey, but they may be a bit harder to come by—you may need to order online rather than pick it up at the supermarket.
Why You Might Like This: If you want a more flavorful bird, and one grown in a more humane way, a heritage turkey will provide that.
Take care of your turkey properly. You can keep your turkey in the freezer until a few days before the big day. But give your bird plenty of time to defrost properly—one of the most common mistakes people make is trying to defrost a 20-pound turkey the night before Thanksgiving. Your turkey needs one day of defrosting in the refrigerator for every four pounds it weighs—so a 16-pound bird needs to hit the fridge at least four days before the holiday. (And don't even think about speeding up defrosting by leaving the turkey out on the counter—that puts you and your guests at risk for food poisoning.) To avoid icky spills in your fridge, keep the turkey in its original wrapping and thaw it on a rimmed baking sheet. Once the turkey is thawed, you're ready to roast!

Remote inspection use cases
person sits at desk with coffee and laptop at work
Training employees while they are working increases the chance the learning will be fully assimilated. Using CloudVisit, a colleague or supervisor can guide an employee through the process of performing a task and explain the standards for performing that task. Then, the expert can observe the employee while he or she performs the job and provide feedback on how to improve performance.
What is the best way to determine if someone can complete a take successfully? Have them complete the task in a controlled environment where their work can be assessed, and they can receive immediate feedback. CloudVisit supports this approach by allowing an expert to see the work being done. The expert can capture the results, compare it to pre-defined criteria, and enter comments.
Surveys are used to gather information for a design or for an estimate of what is involved to complete the task. By using CloudVisit, the information that needs to be collected can be identified in a checklist, these items can be captured in the session recording, and the results can be found by searching for the item and jumping to that location in the playback.
A common task for deployment supervisors is to inspect a site and the personnel working on the site to ensure everything is ready for work to begin. CloudVisit gives deployment supervisors and others a way to complete inspections seamlessly and document the results for others to review if necessary.
Instead of waiting to see the results at the end of the project, users of CloudVisit can establish times when the crew will connect with an expert throughout the project to ensure timely and quality results. This approach also can be used to check on equipment, include engineering when needed, troubleshooting, and change requests.
Most jobs have a list of acceptance criteria to determine if the work has been completed successfully. CloudVisit users can import a site-specific checklist, capture the results for each checklist item in the session recording, and flag any items that need to be completed or corrected as part of the acceptance process. Although results may vary, we've seen 33% decrease in the number of defects found and 40% improvement in cycle time. In third-party audits, we've seen 62% more audits pass, 90% reduction in audit defects per site, and 67% reduction in return visits.
Typically, after work on a site has been completed, someone or a group of people must spend a lot of time preparing the handoff package (historically, this included 100s of pictures) to show the work was done properly. With CloudVisit, the handoff package is the session recording with some additional files uploaded into the session folder eliminating the need for hours and hours of post-processing.
Final approval
Ideally, the group doing the work, the company they are working for, and the customer participates in the same CloudVisit session so everyone is aligned and final approval is expedited. Given this isn't always feasible, customers can access the CloudVisit recording after the fact to capture their input and indicate if the site is approved or highlight what needs to be done for the site to be approved.

DRAW, TEXAS. Draw is at the intersection of Farm roads 213 and 1054, seventeen miles southeast of Tahoka in southeastern Lynn County. It took its name from Mooar's Draw, a canyon to the northeast. The community had a school as early as 1904. Draw's population was reported as only twenty-five in 1933, but in 1940 its population was estimated at 100 and continued to be reported at that level through 1960. By 1970 the population had dropped to thirty-five. In 1974 Draw had a cotton gin and a store. From 1980 through 2000 its population was thirty-nine.

The value of future opportunities: comparison of information technology firms and forest companies
Kärri, Timo (1998)
Aineistoon ei liity tiedostoja.
There are several alternatives for valuing the future opportunities of firms. The traditional appraisal methods for single projects such as net present value, internalrate of return and payback rules have been criticized in recent years. It has been said that they do not take into account all growth opportunities of firms. At the company level, business valuation is traditionally based on financial and market information. Yield estimates, net worth values and market values of shares are commonly used. Naturally, all valuation methods have their own strengths and shortcomings. In the background of most estimation rules there is the idea that the future of the firms is quite clear and predictable. However, in recent times the business environment of most companies has changed to a more unpredictable direction and the effects of uncertainty have increased. There has been a growing interest in estimating the risks and values of future possibilities. The aim of the current paper is to describe the difference between the value of futureopportunities in information technology firms and forest companies, and also toanalyse the backgrounds for the observed gap.

In today's absurd science news, a study suggests that women will want to have kids sooner if they hear the sound of a literal ticking clock.
In the study, which appears in this month's Human Nature, 59 men and women (ages 18 to 21) were given a survey about the age at which they'd want to start having children. In the second experiment, 74 men and women (ages 18 to 32) were surveyed about the characteristics they look for in potential partners and the extent to which they would be flexible on those characteristics in order to start a family sooner.
But, half of these surveys were given in the presence of a small kitchen clock, mercilessly ticking away. Female participants in the presence of the great and powerful clock who also reported being from a less-wealthy neighborhood or a lower-income family wanted to have kids at a younger age. They also placed less importance on a potential partner's resources (e.g. long-term income possibilities). Women who had wealthier childhoods placed significantly more importance on their partners' social status when listening to the ticking. But, the women's own current finances had no effect on either their preferred traits in a co-parent or their chosen time for kids.
What else reminds women that their baby-makin' time is a-tickin'? Simply learning about the complicated realities of in vitro fertilization. In one study, university students in Queensland, Australia revised their ideal ages for having their first and last child after hearing about IVF. Both ages were significantly lower for those who'd gotten the info.
As crazy as it sounds, there's actually a long history of studies like this. In one particularly hilarious example, participants who had been primed with elderly-related words like "bingo" and "Florida" walked significantly more slowly down a hallway than those who got neutral words. Luckily, priming effects are usually pretty short-lived. Still, we'll be counting our digital-age blessings and steering clear of those pesky analog clocks and their reproductive agendas.

Mercedes-Benz has long been committed to protecting pedestrians and cyclists/ motorcyclists. Many of the actions and safety measures taken over the past decades have their origins in Mercedes-Benz initiatives. Smooth body surfaces, energy-absorbing bumpers, laminated windscreens, folding exterior mirrors, rounded door handles and recessed windscreen wipers are just a few of the char-acteristics of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars which help protect pedestrians.
The new S-Class builds on this already high standard of safety with additional protective measures. The underside of the bonnet has been designed for programmed deformation and impact-energy absorption in the event of an accident with a pedestrian. A newly developed "yielding" hinge supports the deformation of the bonnet and also helps to reduce injuries to pedestrians and cyclists/ motorcyclists. The front wings of the new Mercedes saloon are attached to the upper longitudinal members by means of a special fixing element. This has precisely calculated rigidity characteristics and is programmed to give way in the event of an impact.
The deformation space between the bonnet and the engine components beneath it – an important factor in accidents where there is contact between the pedestrian's head and the bonnet – has been increased in two ways: firstly, through the new outer contour of the saloon, the front section of which is some 22 millimetres higher than the predecessor model. Secondly, the engine, shock-absorber towers, reservoirs and control gear have been fitted up to 13 millimetres lower. The Mercedes engineers have also reduced the overall height of the windscreen-wiper system, thereby increasing the deformation space. Another pedestrian-oriented safety feature is to be found in the front bumper of the new S-Class which features a flush, foam-filled spoiler edge which ensures early and even support in a collision.
Pedestrian protection thanks to Brake Assist
In the sphere of active safety, too, the new S-Class is equipped with highly effective systems which can help to avoid accidents with pedestrians. One such system is the standard-fit Brake Assist, which interprets a given speed of brake-pedal actuation as indicative of an emergency situation and builds up the maximum braking assistance within fractions of a second. This can significantly shorten the vehicle's stopping distance - by up to 45 per cent, for example, when the vehicle is travelling on a dry road at a speed of 100 km/h.
Brake Assist not only helps prevent rear-end collisions but also makes an effective contribution to protecting pedestrians. This was demonstrated by a study conducted by Mercedes-Benz with a driving simulator, in which 55 car drivers took a simulated drive through a town at a speed of 50 km/h, during which a child suddenly ran into the street. The only way to avoid hitting the child was to initiate an emergency braking manoeuvre. The test showed that drivers supported by Brake Assist had far fewer accidents than those drivers who did not have the system; the overall accident rate was reduced by 26 percentage points through the use of Brake Assist.
The launch of the new S-Class also marks the world premiere of an enhanced version of Brake Assist: Brake Assist PLUS. This functions as an anticipatory system which provides drivers with even more effective support in critical situations. Based on radar technology, the system scans the area ahead of the vehicle and calculates the necessary brake force assistance if there is a risk of a collision. If the driver operates the brake pedal, the new Brake Assist PLUS system instantly builds up the braking pressure required to manage the situation. While the conventional Brake Assist system requires a reflex activation of the brake pedal, the new system recognises the driver's intention to brake when he or she puts clear pressure on the pedal, after which it automatically optimises the braking pressure. One of the key preconditions for preventing collisions is thus fulfilled: the best possible deceleration for the situation in hand.
Night view assist for greater safety in the dark
According to German accident statistics, more than 55 percent of accidents resulting in pedestrian fatalities occur at night or in semi-darkness at dawn or dusk. This is why Mercedes-Benz is committed to helping drivers see better in the dark. The new S-Class is equipped with powerful projection-beam headlamps – with optional bi-xenon technology – which play an important role in this respect. The Stuttgart-based car manufacturer offers bi-xenon technology in combination with the Active Light System and the cornering light function which illuminate areas around the vehicle which are left in darkness by normal headlamps. These features make an effective contribution to the prevention of pedestrian accidents at intersections and junctions.
Night view assist, a world first for Mercedes-Benz is being premiered in the S-Class. Based on infrared light technology, the system is available in combination with bi-xenon headlamps and the Active Light System. This unique package of the best and most effective lighting technology currently available is one of the defining features of the new Mercedes flagship model. In the dark, the newly developed night view assist system provides the driver with a much greater range of vision than conventional low-beam headlamps, enabling the course of the road, pedestrians, cyclists and obstacles to be seen much sooner.
Mercedes engineers examined the capabilities of this technology in a series of trials. During comparative test drives with low-beam bi-xenon headlamps and the new night view assist system, the test drivers recognised obstacles in the road much sooner when assisted by the infrared light system. During tests, drivers were already able to discern roadside test dummies dressed in light-coloured clothing at a range of around 210 metres, which is about 41 metres sooner than with low-beam bi-xenon headlamps. The system proves even more effective in the case of pedestrians in dark clothing. In these situations the night view assist system already enabled the drivers to identify the test dummies at a range of around 164 metres, but only at about 72 metres when driving with low-beam bi-xenon headlamps alone. This represents a safety improvement of no less than 125 percent.
Even when the headlamps of oncoming vehicles dazzle the driver and severely obscure the view, visibility is much better with this assistance system: a test dummy in light-coloured clothing standing at the road edge 50 metres behind an oncoming vehicle was detected from an average distance of 140 metres with the help of night view assist – around 53 metres sooner than with low-beam bi-xenon headlamps.

Poster for Jewish Luck (1925) by Natan Altman
Jewish Luck was among the first Soviet Yiddish films to be released in the US during the 1920s. Based on Sholem Aleichem's series of stories featuring the character Menakhem Mendl (played by the famous actor Solomon Mikhoels) the film revolves around the daydreaming entrepreneur Menakhem Mendl who specializes in doomed strike-it-rich schemes. Despite Jewish oppression by Tsarist Russia, Menakhem Mendl continues to pursue his dreams and his continued persistence transforms him from schlemiel to hero as the film uncovers the tragic underpinnings of Sholem Aleichem's comic tales. Notes Village Voice critic Georgia Brown, "The movie's best intertitle translated from Isaac Babel's Russian: 'What can you do when there is nothing to do?'"
A dramatized version of the Menkhem Mendl stories was first staged by the Moscow Yiddish State Theater, under the direction of Alexander Granovsky, who later made this silent film. Jewish Luck features some of the finest artistic talents of Soviet Jewry during this period. It has been speculated that the cinematography done by Eduard Tissé inspired the filming of certain scenes in one of his later projects, Sergei Eisenstein's The Battleship Potemkin (particularly the famous "Odessa steps" scene of that film, the same setting as the Jewish Luck finale). The original Russian intertitles were written by Soviet Jewish writer Isaac Babel, who later became a victim of the Stalinist purges in the late 1930s.

1622; Oil on copper, 13-1/8 x 8 in.; The Saint Louis Art Museum
Still life was a frequent subject for Dutch and Flemish artists painting on a copper support, in part because copper facilitated the accurate depiction of flowers and other objects included in these highly detailed pictures. Van der Ast was renowned as a still life painter: an Amsterdam doctor of the time remarked of the artist, "In flowers, shells, and lizards, Beautiful." Van der Ast was led to painting on copper by his teacher and brother-in-law, Ambrosius Bosschaert I (Flemish, _PHONE_), the founder of a dynasty of flower and fruit still life painters, all of whom painted on this metal support.
The flowers shown in Van der Ast's painting bloom at different times of year, suggesting he made drawings or water color studies of individual flowers that he combined and varied in the studio within a single composition. The colors and textures of the shells in his paintings, including this one, are so explicitly rendered that they can be identified by modern conchologists. Here he has depicted a yellow picta (land snail) and a brown-and-white connus victoriae. Shells like these were brought to the Netherlands on the trading vessels of the East and West India Company and soon became prized collector's items, so much so that over-zealous collectors were satirized in the early seventeenth century as "shell fools."

SKU: B 86,IMP50,Th20,KRT115+525
Rs.300 Rs. 375
This YF-S201 sensor sits in line with your water line and contains a pinwheel sensor to measure how much liquid has moved through it. There's an integrated magnetic hall effect sensor that outputs an electrical pulse with every revolution. The hall effect sensor is sealed from the water pipe and allows the sensor to stay safe and dry.
The sensor comes with three wires: red (5-24VDC power), black (ground) and yellow (Hall effect pulse output). By counting the pulses from the output of the sensor, you can easily calculate water flow. Each pulse is approximately 2.25 milliliters. Note this isn't a precision sensor, and the pulse rate does vary a bit depending on the flow rate, fluid pressure and sensor orientation. It will need careful calibration if better than 10% precision is required. However, YF-S201 is great for basic measurement tasks!
We have as example Arduino sketch that can be used to quickly test the sensor, it will calculate the approximate flow of water in liters/hour. The pulse signal is a simple square wave so its quite easy to log and convert into liters per minute using the following formula. Pulse frequency (Hz) / 7.5 = flow rate in L/min.
