Q: Interpolating a changing value based on time (glsl) I have a uniform in my vertex shader with a value that can change from 0 to 1, without interpolation. However, I want it interpolated over time, but I don't want to do this in Javascript (from the CPU). I want it interpolated from 0 to 1 (or back) when it changes (which happens on certain user input).
(I do have a incrementing uTime uniform that I suppose I can use for this problem)?
I hope this explains my question clear enough. TIA.

A: I suppose, that uTime contains the time in milliseconds. Dividing the value by a timespan, gives a value that increments by 1 in the timespan.
The fractional part of that value continuously changes from 0.0 to 1.0 and starts again at 0.0. The the fractional part of a number can be computed by fract. e.g:
(if the unit of uTime is secondes, then the timespan has to be 3.0)
uniform float uTime; // time in milliseconds

void main()
{
    const float timespan = 3000.0; // e.g. 3 seconds
    float w = fract(uTime / timespan);

    // [...]
}

For a Hermite interpolation use additionally smoothstep:
uniform float uTime; // time in milliseconds

void main()
{
    const float timespan = 3000.0; // e.g. 3 seconds
    float w = smoothstep(0.0, 1.0, fract(uTime / timespan));

    // [...]
}

Another nice effect can be achieved by using sin. Sine gives a value that continuously changes between -1.0 and 1.0 dependent on the angle in Radian [0.0, 2*PI] e.g.:
uniform float float uTime; // time in milliseconds

void main()
{
    const float timespan = 3000.0; // e.g. 3 seconds
    float w = sin(2.0 * 3.14159 * uTime / timespan) * 0.5 + 0.5;

    // [...]
}

If you want to start the animation at a certain point of time, then you'll need a 2nd uniform variable (uStartTime), which indicates the time point. The variable has to have the same unit than uTime.
When ever the animation has to be started the set the value of uStartTime. At the begin its value is 0. If uStartTime is less or equal uTime then the animation is at 0.0. That is rare case and just for a moment, when uStartTime is set. It uTime is grater or equal than uStartTime + timespan than the animation is at 1.0. Instead of calculating the fractional part, you've to clamp the difference of te current time and the start time to the range form 0.0 to 1.0. e.g.:
uniform float uTime; // time in milliseconds
uniform float uStartTime;

void main()
{
    const float timespan = 3000.0; // e.g. 3 seconds
    float w = clamp((uTime-uStartTime) / timespan, 0.0, 1.0);

    // [...]
}

If you want to set the interpolation direction(form 0 to 1 or 1 to 0), dependent on the "direction", the you'll need some additional information. Add another uniform variable (uTarget) of type float and set it either to 0.0 or 1.0. The value defines the interpolation target:
uniform float uTime; // time in milliseconds
uniform float uStartTime;
uniform float uTarget; // 0.0 or 1.0

void main()
{
    const float timespan = 3000.0; // e.g. 3 seconds
    float w = clamp((uTime-uStartTime) / timespan, 0.0, 1.0);
    w = mix(1.0-w, w, uTarget);

    // [...]
}

Sang Hyang Bathari Durga: the Mother Goddess and the Javanese Candi
Posted by Gunadharma | Candi of Indonesia, Dvipantara (Southeast Asia), Indonesian Dharma, Java, Nusantara, Shaivism, Wilwatikta (Majapahit)
In India, the temples are called devalaya or vimana. In Bali they are called pura. Why are temples in Java called candi?
Candi means 'old throne' and is one of the names of Durga (known as Sang Hyang Bathari Durga in Java), the Mother Goddess, who is born from the Cosmic energy to save the world threatened of destruction by the demons. She is called Chandika, Ambika or Durga.
The Mother Goddess of Java

Navadurga: the 9 Forms of Durga
She was especially venerated by the Javanese common people, who brought offerings to her, whereas the kings and aristocracy venerated the Shiva linga in the most sacred part of the temple. With time, her name, Candi, became the generic name for the temple itself.
She was so popular in Indonesia that the Museum Nasional in Jakarta today has 32 Durga statues. More are regularly discovered. At least 135 ancient statues of Durga have been found in Java, where she is known by the common people as Loro Jonggrang ("slender maiden"). The most famous temple in Java is the Candi Lara Jonggan of Prambanan, where a murti of Durga stands in the northern niche.
Durga is the wife of Sada Shiva. Durga in Java is exclusively found in candis dedicated to Shiva.
Sang Hyang Bathari Durga today is worshiped either as Tara or under her manifestation as the Queen of the South Seas, Nyai Lara Kidul.

In Hindu cosmology, Durga is one of the manifestations of Adi Parashakti (shortened as Shakti), the female cosmic energy that creates and supports the visible world. Shakti is worshiped in order to maintain the cycles of life and to attain enlightenment and deliverance.
Shakti can take on the form of various goddesses in the Hindu and Buddhist pantheon. She alternatively appears as Durga, Parvati, Lakshmi and Tara. All the goddesses are endowed with a variety of attributes and special powers. The fierce and destructive form of Shakti is Durga Mahisasuramardini (literally 'the one who crushes Asura Mahisa' (the demon with a buffalo appearance)) .
The most important Purana related to the stories of the Great Goddess is the Devi Mahatmya, which is part of the Markandeya Purana. Rishi Markandeya was one of the great sages who first brought this knowledge to Sumatra, Java and Bali.

The majority of Durga statues show a very serene figure. Durga often smiles and has her eyes half closed as in meditation.
But in her fierce form as Mahisasuramardini, Durga is the fierce protector of the world, expressing the fearsome aspects of divine forces. An inscription mentions that King Airlangga went into the forest to worship Durga in order to win her support in an upcoming battle.
Durga is usually represented with a high headdresses, lots of jewellery and multiple arms.

The fierce (krodha) form of Durga is the consort of Shiva in his wrathful form, called Bhairava. Durga in her dreadful form is also called Kali, with a sacred cord made from skulls, wild hair and sharp teeth. Within the Kala Bhairava branch of Shaivism in Java, Durga transformed into this fearful goddess.
Evidence from Javanese relief carvings and scriptures tells us about Durga's appearance and interaction with her worshipers, and the immense power she has over the life and death of humans and in the world.

The word Durga in Sanskrit literally means "impassable", "invincible, unassailable", "beyond defeat". It is related to the Sanskrit root durg which means "fortress, something difficult to defeat or pass".
The name of Durga appears in the most ancient scriptures of humanity, such as the Rig Veda [hymns 4.28, 5.34, 8.27, 8.47, 8.93] and in sections 10.1 and 12.4 of the Atharvaveda. She is also mentioned in section 2.451 of the Mahabharata and section 4.27.16 of the Ramayana.
Durga is further described in the Devi Mahatmya, the Markandeya Purana and the Devi-Bhagavata Purana. The Devi Upanishad and other Shakta Upanishads also contain the philosophical and mystical aspects of Durga as Devi, identifying her to be the same as Brahman.
One of the most important texts of Shaktism is the Devi Mahatmya, which celebrates Durga as the Supreme Being and the Creator of the Universe. The Devi Mahatmya is considered by Shakta Hindus to be as important as the Bhagavad Gita.
"I have created all worlds at my will without being urged by any higher Being, and dwell within them. I permeate the earth and heaven, and all created entities with my greatness and dwell in them as eternal and infinite consciousness." - Devī sūkta, Rigveda 10.125.8

The Navadurgā ('Nine forms of Durga') are the nine manifestations of Durga, who is especially worshiped during Navratri, when each of the nine forms is venerated respectively each night: Shailaputri, Brahmacharini, Chandraghanta, Kushmanda, Skandamata, Kaalratri, Katyayani, Mahagauri and Siddhidhatri.
Each manifestation of Durga is known by her respective name, governing planet, iconography, mantra for invocation (usually repeated 108 times at each sitting during the period of Navratri), dedication day for Navratri and respective prayers.

Learn more about following our progress and your options for participating as we review applications for plants authorized under the Concrete Batch Plant Standard Permit. Find out how a batch plant operates and how this permit calls for the plant's operators to keep dust under control.
What is a concrete batch plant?
What will this permit do?
Who is applying?
What else can I learn about the applicant?
How can I learn what other people think about this?
A concrete batch plant is not a cement kiln. People often confuse one for the other.
A concrete batch plant adds measured amounts of sand, cement, and gravel to a large mixing drum to prepare concrete mix. This mix is much like the bagged concrete you can buy at any home improvement store.
There are two types of authorizations for a concrete batch plant:
Plants producing large amounts of concrete are authorized by New Source Review (NSR) permits.
Plants producing smaller amounts are authorized either by a Concrete Batch Plant Standard Permit or a Concrete Batch Plant Standard Permit with Enhanced Controls. These permits limit the size and operation of the concrete batch plant.
We receive the most questions about smaller plants authorized under the Concrete Batch Plant Standard Permit. For these plants, the concrete mix is usually fed with water into a concrete truck. The truck finishes mixing the wet concrete on its way to a construction site.
These plants have:
One or more silos to hold the cement—and sometimes a silo for cement supplement, too.
A large drum raised high in the air. These drums usually look like a big square funnel on stilts, high enough for a concrete truck to park beneath it.
Piles of sand and gravel.
Conveyors to feed the cement, sand, and gravel to their silos or to the mixing drum.
Roads on the property for the concrete trucks—and for the trucks that deliver the sand, gravel, and cement, too.
The silos are the tallest part—sometimes as tall as 40 feet.
With the roads, structures, and piles of sand and gravel, the whole plant would fit on about five residential lots. But this size can vary.
The cement used in a concrete batch plant is naturally dusty. When the raw materials are delivered and when they are mixed, there is a chance that dust emissions can occur on site or potentially leave the property. To limit this, we developed specific requirements for concrete batch plants to follow under the Concrete Batch Plant Standard Permit.
Whenever there is dust, we are also concerned about very small forms of dust—particles small enough to get past our body's protections and into our airways and lungs. Even though very little of the dust from cement is that small, the measures called for by the Concrete Batch Plant Standard Permit also prevent this smaller dust from blowing off the property.
The Standard Permit requires the plant operators to control dust these ways:
Keep the cement in completely enclosed silos.
Keep the mixing equipment, stockpiles, and silos away from the property lines.
Add cartridge or bag filters to the silos, so the air that is pushed out when they are filled doesn't carry dust with it.
Enclose the cement conveyor belts, so dust doesn't blow away as the cement is moved to the silos or mixing drum.
Use filters called baghouses where the concrete is mixed and where it is dropped into the trucks. Like large vacuum cleaners, these filters suck the dust out of the air before it can blow away.
Spray down the plant roads and stockpiles.
Take other measures when needed to minimize dust from other sources.
By obtaining this permit, the owners and operators of the concrete batch plant agree to follow its requirements. View more information on the Concrete Batch Plant Standard Permit.
Concrete batch plants might be noisy or increase traffic. We do not have jurisdiction to consider these issues when approving a permit. If you are concerned about these issues, contact your city, county, or other local authority. View more information on other situations where our jurisdiction is limited.
When you see a public notice in a newspaper about a permit application, look at the first paragraph to find the name of the applicant. You may also find information on a sign posted at the proposed location.

Or e-mail pep@tceq.texas.gov
Types of Applications and Public Notices
We receive two types of applications for this Standard Permit:
Application for a New Permit - requesting to construct a new concrete batch plant.
After we receive the application, we conduct an administrative and technical review. Once we complete these reviews, we mail a single public notice called the Consolidated Notice of Receipt of Application and Intent to Obtain Permit and Notice of Application and Preliminary Decision to the applicant for publishing in a newspaper of general circulation.
Application to Renew a Permit - requesting to renew a permit for an existing concrete batch plant.
After we receive the application, we conduct an administrative review; once complete, we mail a public notice called the Notice of Receipt of Application and Intent to Obtain Permit to the applicant for publishing in a newspaper. Next we conduct a technical review.
Participation Options in Public Notices
If you would like to participate in the permitting process for either of these types of applications, please read its public notice to see how and when you can participate. To view the notice online, visit the Commissioners' Integrated Database. You can participate by choosing to:
Submit a Comment - state any issues regarding the pending application.
Make sure we receive your comment during the "comment period" — the time period (mentioned in the public notice) for submitting comments. If you submit a comment during this period, you will receive our "Response to Comments" document which contains responses to all timely comments.
Sign up for a Mailing List - receive future public notices.
Persons who submit a comment, request a public meeting, or request a contested case hearing are automatically placed on the application's mailing list — a list of people that will receive any future information for that application until it is approved or denied.
There are also two other mailing lists, the permit's permanent mailing list (to receive future public notices for all applications for that permit) and the county-wide list (to receive future public notices for all air, waste, and water applications for that county). To sign up for one of these lists, send a written request to the Office of the Chief Clerk. Make sure to include your name, mailing address, and either the permit number (for the permit's permanent mailing list) or the county's name (for the county-wide list). There is no deadline, so you can make this request at any time.
Request a Public Meeting - request that our staff and the applicant meet with the public to answer questions, followed by a formal session where we accept oral comments.
We will have a public meeting if there is significant interest in an application (e.g., a significant amount of comments that say "I request a public meeting"), or if a legislator who represents the area where the facility is, or will be, located makes a request for a public meeting. If we hold a public meeting on a date that's after the end of the comment period, then the comment period automatically extends to the end of the meeting.
Request a Contested Case Hearing - request that our commission refer one or more matters raised during the comment period to the State Office of Administrative Hearings (SOAH)
Your request must comply with all of the requirements listed in the public notice, and we must receive it by the specified deadline. If your request complies, the commission will discuss it during a Commissioners' Agenda and either grant or deny your request. If granted, SOAH will conduct the contested case hearing in a manner similar to civil trials in state district court. View more information about requesting a contested case hearing.
You can use eComments to submit a comment, request a public meeting, or request a contested case hearing. Other submission options are available — visit the eComments page for a list of these other options.
Additional Participation Options
After the participation deadlines in the public notice expire, you might still be able to participate. You can find available participation options by viewing the letters for that application in the Commissioners' Integrated Database. Each option will have a set of requirements and a deadline listed in the letter.
Request a Contested Case Hearing – see the same bullet above for more information on this option.
The letter enclosed with the Response to Comments (known as the "Decision of the Executive Director") may contain this option. Your request must comply with all of the requirements listed in the letter, and we must receive it by the specified deadline.
Request for Reconsideration – request that our commission reconsider the executive director's decision on the application.
The "Decision of the Executive Director" letter may contain this option. Unlike requesting a contested case hearing, you do not need to prove that you are an affected person (i.e., anyone can file this type of request). View more information on a request for reconsideration.
Motion to Overturn – request that our commission overturn the executive director's approval of an application.
This option is available if the executive director approves an application without the commission needing to review it (i.e., no one timely requested a contested case hearing or a reconsideration). You will find this option's requirements and deadline in the letter enclosed with the new/renewed permit. View more information on a motion to overturn.
Motion for Rehearing – request that our commission review its approval on an application.
This option is available for applications that go to the commission and are then approved. You will find this option's requirements and deadline in the letter enclosed with the new/renewed permit. View more information on a motion for rehearing.
If you have exhausted all of your participation options with us, you have the option to submit a Petition for Judicial Review with the Travis County district court. Note that the deadline for submitting a petition may overlap with other participation options above.
Our staff with the Public Education Program can help answer any of your questions regarding your participation options. You can contact them by phone at (800) 687-4040 or e-mail pep@tceq.texas.gov.

Home TOP Chinese Coup? Or, Is Xi Jinping On The Peak Of The...
Chinese Coup? Or, Is Xi Jinping On The Peak Of The Struggle For Absolute Power as Chairman of the Republic?
Has a coup occurred in China? A bewildered world fumbles in the dark for answers as rumors circulate on social media platforms. There is not enough evidence to say a coup has taken place. At the same time, no international mainstream media outlet has been able to conclusively refute the reports.
Rumors broke out at a time when President Xi Jinping appeared to be at the height of his power. Xi is expected to gather even greater power at the Chinese Communist Party's major conference, which will take place in mid-October.
China's CPC Congress is only a few weeks away
For weeks, speculation in China has suggested the possibility of Xi being sworn in as chairman of the People's Republic, a position held only by Mao Zedong. Then came the rumors of a coup. As per the grapevine, Xi has been ousted, held under house arrest and a prominent leader of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) has taken over.
Chinese President Xi Jinping calls food waste a disgrace as he aims to pass a new law
But nothing is confirmed. The official and regular flow of news from China seemed normal. On Sunday, China's official Xinhua news agency reported that all delegates to the upcoming 20th National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party (CPC) had been elected.
"Under the guidance of Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for the New Era, the delegates were selected in accordance with the Party Constitution, the requirements of the CPC Central Committee, adopting the methods required by the CPC Central Committee, the statement said. the report says.
Does a Coup Make sense?
Until recently, a coup in China was the least likely. In March 2018, China approved constitutional changes that would effectively allow Xi to remain in power for life. In a landmark move, the National People's Congress approved a resolution seeking to remove the two-term limit to the presidency, which has been in effect since the 1990s. While 2,964 delegates to the annual Congress supported the move, only two voted against it, showing just how invasive and complete Xi's popularity has become.
Xi then gathered more strength and gained a brighter halo around him, so much so that he was on the cusp of being elevated to Chairman Mao status.
Chinese coup rumors
China has also recently adopted what it calls the Xi School of thought, which bestows on the president the kind of praise received by Mao Zedong, the republic's founder. 'Xi Jinping Thoughts on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for the New Era' will be taught in schools and universities across the country.
Is it possible to fall from such a height? No one knows for sure whether the current round of rumors is the creation of an anti-Xi force that is spreading across the world. There was speculation in May this year about the possibility of Xi stepping down.
According to the Washington Times, the rumors were traced to a Chinese-language YouTube video created by a Canadian-based blogger. The bloggers, who call themselves 'Lao Deng' said the president could step down after the Covid-19 lockdown in Shanghai and other major cities backfired.
Although the video went viral, Chinese censors suppressed it.
The Times further reported: "The blogger, citing what he said was a senior Chinese Communist Party (CCP) security source, said a "coup" was launched against Xi at a meeting of senior party leaders in Beijing. According to the blog, Mr Xi was forced to step aside. but will remain in place until the big party meeting later this year."
Chinese Coup?
Absolute power often attracts absolute backlash. The current cycle of rumors began when Xi was in Samarkhand, attending the Shanghai Cooperation Summit along with other world leaders. While it's hard to believe, it's also worth noting that it comes just weeks before the crucial CPC meeting, which is expected to give Xi more power.
If the speculation is correct, Xi will be unstoppable if he is sworn in as Chairman. So if the power against the absolute power of one person unites, this is the time for it. If Chinese dissidents have to act, it must be now.

PACE Funding Group Completes Inaugural 144a Securitization and achieves "Green Bond" Designation
Los Gatos, California (June 23, 2020) – PACE Funding Group, LLC, a California-based specialty finance company, announced today that it completed a $ 107 million securitization of residential Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) assets. The assets were originally sold to a subsidiary of Rosemawr Management and the company partnered with Rosemawr to complete the transaction. The "Green Bond" transaction represents the fourth asset-backed securitization completed by the Company and its first Rule 144a transaction, following its first three transactions in 2018 and 2019 for a total of $165 million. SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. acted as Structuring Agent and Sole Bookrunner on the transaction, and DBRS Morningstar provided ratings across the issued classes.
"We continue to pride ourselves on our commitment to consumer protection and policing the contractor channel, and believe that has enabled us to continue to grow our company during these unprecedented times. We were very pleased with the reception we received from investors during this process and are thrilled to close our inaugural 144a deal," said James Vergara, Chief Investment Officer at PACE Funding Group.
An audit of the assets revealed that almost 80% were for property improvements that supported energy efficiency and the remainder were in renewable energy, with smaller sectors in California for water conservation, and in Florida for hurricane resiliency measures. More than 1 million kWh of energy will be saved annually by the energy efficiency improvements, with over 5.5 million kWh of renewable energy to be generated annually. The measures involved contributed to annual savings of 5,666 tons of greenhouse gas emissions and 7.3 million gallons of water. Property owners in Florida will benefit from storm mitigation projects that protect their homes and contribute to insurance premium savings. Kestrel Verifiers provided a Second Party Opinion to support the green bonds designation for the senior notes. Kestrel found that the notes conform with the Green Bond Principles published by the International Capital Market Association.

The smartphone
Nowadays smartphones define the way people connect to the rest of the world. How did it start? On the 16th of August 1994, IBM released a personal ___COMMUNICATE___, which became the modern smartphone. It was capable of making phone calls, faxing, text messaging and e-mailing. It was a prized ___POSSESS___ because this device also included a touch screen. It had a clock, calendar and some games. But this ___WONDER___ device was just too advanced for its time. The market was not yet ready for such a ___TECHNOLOGY___ innovation. Faster networks, browsers and applications were needed to release its full potential. In 2000, Ericsson was the first to introduce the word "smartphone" for its ___AMAZE___ R380 mobile phone. This device was a modification of a lightweight flip phone. The magazine Popular Science called the Ericsson R380 smartphone one of the most important ___ACHIEVE___ in science and technology.

AGP chalks out series of agitations against Citizenship (Amendment) Bill
AGP to join hands with other regional and indigenous bodies; to garner nation-wide support in protest against contentious citizenship bill
GUWAHATI , January 14, 2019 12:10 pm
AGP President, Atul Bora. and other leaders. File image.
The Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) has chalked out a series of agitational programmes against the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill, 2016.
The regional party will take out a torch rally on January 18 next while the AGP legislators will sit for a 10-hour long hunger-strike on January 24 next.
The party will also take out protest rally across all the districts of the State on January 30 next.
The AGP which has severed its ties with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the citizenship bill issue is now all out to launch its crusade against the contentious bill.
The AGP in a meeting held on Sunday night chaired by party president Atul Bora has lined up series of agitational programmes in the coming days across the State.
The regional party has decided to launch its state-wide agitation with the support of the people of Assam against the bill that threatens even the existence and dignity of the historic Assam Accord.
The AGP was of the view that the regional party will leave no stone un-turned to keep the integrity of the indigenous people of the State intact.
The party has lately been hailed for its decision to quit the government on the day the bill was tabled and passed int the Lok Sabha.
The AGP was facing volley of criticisms from several quarters over its blurred stand on the citizenship bill issue.
The party apart from launching independent protests has also decided to join hands with other regional and indigenous organizations of the State in continuing with agitations against the bill.
The regional party has also decided to garner country-wide support against the citizenship bill.


So to that end, I thought I would offer a second mini-series exploring the eight areas identified by the 'Wheel of Life' as I've had some new insights about the topic for leaders and individuals. I also want to bring in some new voices and experts on a few of these topics. To start things off, I invited my colleague and long-time friend, Natalie Wagner of VitalFinancials to offer us some insights and a meditation on the topic.
I love working with money to improve wellness because of its pervasive and confusing role in our lives. When our money lives are full of turbulence, the effects stretch to the corners of our lives, and our foresight to make good decisions becomes murky. When we have a strong and clean connection with money, we have both a foundation and the vision to understand what's truly happening and how we can bring about our intentions.
In this Healing Money Mediation we engage my concept of Money Breath to relieve tension between you and money. When we relax, our natural healing mechanisms kick in. Healing our wounds with money is a potent step towards overall wellness.
I invite you into this meditation to connect with your own Money Wellness and allow financial health to circulate throughout the 'nooks and crannies' of your life. Scroll down to the bottom of the linked page for the guided meditation.

FSFE Newsletter - December 2009
Despite the temperatures dropping below zero all over Europe and the Christmas holidays approaching, FSFE kept working as usual for software freedom. The major news of December are that we have begun to restructure our website, added Andreas Tolf Tolfsen as webmaster deputy coordinator, and published a statement on the EC's settlement with Microsoft in the browser antitrust case. Read on to learn more about what we did in December.
Moreover, let us offer you our best wishes for a great and Free 2010!

Fellowship Jabber meeting: What do your taxes buy? Free Software in the public sector, 21 Dec
Restructuring FSFE's website
The Fellowship interviews: Simon Josefsson
FSFE welcomes Andreas Tolf Tolfsen as core team member and webmaster deputy coordinator
November Fellowship grants
FSFE welcomes greater user choice in browsers, warns that Free Software is excluded from interoperability
It happened in the past
Samba team receives Microsoft's interoperability information
Election for Fellowship GA seat
Various Fellows participated in an interesting jabber meeting on Free Software in the public administration. Karsten Gerloff, FSFE's president, chaired the meeting and brought his sound experience on the topic into the chat-room. The ISO standardization process, Open Standards, procurement rules in the Netherlands, and Free Software in the Swiss Federal Court and Munich were discussed for nearly two hours. As usual the conversation went on much longer in an informal way, after the official closure of the meeting.

In order to make FSFE's work more accessible, the web team this month started work on a major restructuring of fsfe.org's content and usability. The website wasn't originally designed to include so many documents and information related to so many different domains: from the legal to the political, from the educational to the community oriented and more. The time has now arrived to improve its structure, and so that it can reflect the diversity and quality of FSFE's work. The web team's goal is to make our website easier to browse and to read, and make it possible to find information much faster. If you would like to help...join the web team!

This month, Stian Rødven Eide interviewed Simon Josefsson. Simon is a Fellow and 'old' established GNU hacker with interest in security, who in November received the Nordic Free Software Award. His contributions to the Free Software world include such ubiquitous projects as GnuTLS and Libssh2. In the interview, Stian and Simon talk about differences between proprietary and Free Software in relation to security issues, discuss encryption, DNS and different projects that Simon is involved in, such as GnuTLS, GNU SASL and GSS.

FSFE welcomes Andreas Tolf Tolfsen as core team member and webmaster deputy coordinatorg
After contributing to FSFE's web team for three years, Andreas Tolf Tolfsen has taken on the role of webmaster deputy coordinator within FSFE, becoming part of the European core team. Andreas is a Norwegian Free Software activists with years of experience on web design and web technologies. Together with Reinhard Muller, webmaster coordinator, Rolf Camps, deputy coordinator, and the web team, Andreas' first big challenge will be the restructuring of FSFE's website. At the same time, he will work on the setting up of a Norwegian country team. Welcome on board Andreas!
http://www.fsfe.org/about/team.html
The Fellowship grants project we launched in November generated a great response in the Free Software community. We received many outstanding applications by activists coming from all over Europe: choosing the first three people to receive the grants was not easy at all. Finally, Alexjan Carraturo from Italy, Ferdinand Thommes from Germany and Matija Šuklje from Slovenia stood out from the evaluation process due to their lasting and diverse contributions to Free Software. We welcome them in the Fellowship!

FSFE congratulated the European Commission on pushing Microsoft to give users greater choice between different browsers. The settlement that the Commission reached on the Microsoft's browser case is an improvement from the scenario that FSFE criticised this October.
In early 2010, Microsoft will provide the users of its operating systems with a ballot screen that should make it easy for users to chose between different web browsers. The screen will suggests various browsers available on the market, Free Software ones included.
This settlement relates to only one of the two issues that Microsoft currently faces with the EU Commission. FSFE also congratulates the Commission for the decision to keep open the investigation on Microsoft's refusal to let other products interoperate with its own desktop programs. Microsoft has offered a voluntary commitment, but FSFE warns that this will not be enough for real competition to develop.

During December 2007, as a consequence of the drawn-out EU vs Microsft antitrust case, the Samba team was finally able to receive Microsoft's network interoperability information. The specifications were requested with a one-time access fee of 10.000 EUR for full access to crucial information. This event marked an important victory for competition in the IT market. It was a great achievement for Free Software, FSFE and the Samba team.
During the whole month of February 2010 it will be possible to vote for the second Fellowship representative in FSFE's General Assembly (GA). Fellows will soon have the chance to declare their candidature and to vote again for participation in FSFE's highest decision-making body. We encourage you to run for the second seat!

Q: mongodb find element within a hash within a hash I am attempting to build a query to run from Mongo client that will allow access to the following element of a hash within a hash within a hash.
Here is the structure of the data:
"_id" : ObjectId("BSONID"),
"e1" : "value",
"e2" : "value",
"e3" : "value"),
"updated_at" : ISODate("2015-08-31T21:04:37.669Z"),
"created_at" : ISODate("2015-01-05T07:20:17.833Z"),
"e4" : 62,
"e5" : {
    "sube1" : {
        "26444745" : {
            "subsube1" : "value",
            "subsube2" : "value",
            "subsube3" : "value I am looking for",
            "subsube4" : "value",
            "subsube5" : "value"
        },
        "40937803" : {
            "subsube1" : "value",
            "subsube2" : "value",
            "subsube3" : "value I am looking for",
            "subsube4" : "value",
            "subsube5" : "value"
        },
        "YCPGF5SRTJV2TVVF" : {
            "subsube1" : "value",
            "subsube2" : "value",
            "subsube3" : "value I am looking for",
            "subsube4" : "value",
            "subsube5" : "value"
        }
    }
}

So I have tried dotted notation based on a suggestion for "diving" into an wildcard named hash using db.my_collection.find({"e5.sube1.subsube4": "value I am looking for"}) which keeps coming back with an empty result set. I have also tried the find using a match instead of an exact value using /value I am lo/ and still an empty result set. I know there is at least 1 document which has the "value I am looking for".
Any ideas - note I am restricted to using the Mongo shell client.
Thanks.

A: You have two issues:

*

*You're missing one level.

*You are checking subsube4 instead of subsube3
Depending on what subdocument of sube1 you want to check, you should do
db.my_collection.find({"e5.sube1.26444745.subsube4": "value I am looking for"})

or
db.my_collection.find({"e5.sube1.40937803.subsube4": "value I am looking for"})

or
db.my_collection.find({"e5.sube1.YCPGF5SRTJV2TVVF.subsube4": "value I am looking for"})

You could use the $or operator if you want to look in any one of the three.
If you don't know the keys of your documents, that's an issue with your schema design: you should use arrays instead of objects. Similar case: How to query a dynamic key - mongodb schema design
EDIT
Since you explain that you have a special request to know the count of "value I am looking for" only one time, we can run a map reduce. You can run those commands in the shell.
Define map function
var iurMapFunction = function() {
    for (var key in this.e5.sube1) {
        if (this.e5.sube1[key].subsube3 == "value I am looking for") {
            var value = {
                count: 1,
                subkey: key
            }
            emit(key, value);
        }
    }
};

Define reduce function
var iurReduceFunction = function(keys, countObjVals) {
    reducedVal = {
        count: 0
    };
    for (var idx = 0; idx < countObjVals.length; idx++) {
        reducedVal.count += countObjVals[idx].count;
    }
    return reducedVal;
};

Run mapreduce command
db.my_collection.mapReduce(iurMapFunction,
    iurReduceFunction, {
        out: {
            replace: "map_reduce_result"
        },
    }
);

Find your counts
db.map_reduce_result.find()

This should give you, for each dynamic key in your object, the number of times it had an embedded field subsube3 with value value I am looking for.

A: So since this is not capable of being made into a javascript/mongo shell array I will go to plan B which is write some code be it Perl or Ruby and pull the result set into an array of hashes and walk each document/sub-document.
Thanks Mario for the help.

Rachel, just love this post, and so thoroughly agree with all that you have stated.
And so well! Don't stop writing, Rachel; you are read, and appreciated, by many. Your writing is informed, passionate, and persuasive. Can't ask for much more.
I especially appreciate and relate to your statements regarding love arising from rage. It is strange, isn't is, how love and compassion do seem to arise, eventually, for many of us, from anger, as well as, from pain, sadness, and loss.
Feelings that you, myself, and many that I know have been experiencing in abundance as of late. But what a gift to find love, relatedness, and compassion increasing in the context of pain!
Thanks for this! Hope to talk soon!

Disaster food planning template,american blackout nat geo online,how to survive cold climate 1980 - For Begninners
Your emergency food supply, water storage, and survival equipment, are the three main foundations of any short or long term survival plan. You need to start preparing, at least some emergency food storage, in advance for yourself and your loved ones. Best supply: 6 months to one year (if possible) will definitely give you more peace of mind for a long term survival situation. If food must be cooked, it would be wise to add an emergency stove to your supplies in case you have no other means to cook. For a list of the different types of foods that can be used for your emergency food supply Visit the Survival Food Choices Page. As long as stored foods are properly preserved, sealed, and kept cool and dry, they will stay fresh for years. Visit the Food Storage Containers Page for detailed information on the types of storage containers, how they are used, and where to buy them. Growing, harvesting and storing garden foods is the most nutritious and rewarding option for increasing your emergency food supply. Visit our How To Dehydrate Food Page to Learn how to dehydrate food and the 4 main do-it-your-self methods used. Disaster, the word alone congers images of your facility in the worst possible condition, people not understanding what happened, knowing how to respond to the event, what to tell the media, if anything, and more. When it comes to emergency planning, you need to involve as many people as possible in framing not only the type and scope of an emergency but also in building a comprehensive plan of action for each of the situations that may arise.
Natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, and earthquakes, often impact wide geographic areas and therefore can overwhelm local and State response personnel and agencies. The simplest form of advice for damaged food products, following a disaster, is "When in doubt, throw it out".
Do not salvage food packed in containers with screw-caps, snap-lids, crimped-caps (soda pop bottles), twist-caps, flip-top, snap-open, and similar type closures that have been in plastic, paper, cardboard, cloth, and similar containers that have been submerged in water or have water damaged packaging. Condemned food items must be safely disposed of in a manner consistent with federal, state, and local solid waste storage, transportation, and disposal regulations.
Flush all water lines, including steam water lines and ice machine water lines, for 10 to 15 minutes. Run the dishwasher through the wash-rinse-sanitize cycle three times to flush the water lines and assure that the dishwasher is cleaned and sanitized internally before washing equipment and utensils in it. Prior to restocking verify that that all refrigerators and freezers are capable of consistently maintaining cold holding temperatures (=41°F or in a frozen state). Specialized food processing equipment should be cleaned and sanitized using methods applicable to the customized equipment.
As is always the case, disaster or not, food products should only be received from licensed and approved sources. When disasters strike, understand that your employees are most likely affected in their personal lives too.
Since the events of September 11, all food manufacturers had to begin gearing up, thinking about persons that wanted to do malicious acts to injure or kill large numbers of people from a single incident or to damage an entire brand by getting media attention for a type of food.
Most people focus on the issue of bio-terrorism and when food is brought into the discussion it will be the intentional incorporation of a pathogen into a food product.
When we think of bio-terrorism, immediately the infliction of disease by a biological agent is conjured up. Equally of concern would be the introduction of an animal pathogen such as the putative agent of Foot and Mouth Disease, a Picornavirus which basically is not considered transmissible to humans, however, it is extraordinarily contagious from animal to animal. However, with the manner by which animals are breed, kept in feed lots and transported to slaughter during an incubation period an animal could traverse numerous states and infect large populations of other animals. Simply adding a biological or chemical agent that looks like any ordinary ingredient could contaminate our products.
Another layer of defense relates to vendors, visitors and even auditors that would gain access to some of the most sensitive areas of the facility.
In summation, we do have vulnerability in our food supply from farm to fork whether it be from a natural disaster such as a hurricane, a drought or a derailed tanker of toxic materials as well as from those who are trying to do us personal, societal or economic damage via terrorism.

MANILA (Mabuhay) — Children who survived Typhoon Yolanda and are still living in the devastated areas want to play active roles in planning for future emergencies and disasters to help them better cope with post-crisis situations. This was among the findings of a study by the Save the Children, a leading global and independent organization for children, and several non-governmental organizations (NGOs) which consulted 174 children and young people in Yolanda-stricken areas, specifically asking them what was most important to them after surviving the deadly typhoon.
In the section of the "State of the World's Mothers 2014: Saving Mothers and Children in Humanitarian Crisis" discussing the Philippines and Yolanda, the report said older children want to take classes in "life skills" such as how to build shelters, environmental science, and fishing.
It includes an annual "Mothers' index," which this year surveyed 178 countries, and studied in-depth the link between poor performance on the indicators and chronic crises, conflict, and the everyday emergencies faced by mothers and children globally.
The Philippines landed on the 105th slot out of 178 countries ranked, down from last year's 104th.
Humanitarian emergencies can have a profound effect on the mental health of mothers and children. Ned Olney, Philippine country director of the Save the Children, said Filipinos' resiliency is being tested by more frequent and increasingly severe emergencies.
Cuevas added that psycho-social health services to mothers and children should be given priority because they are the "most vulnerable and most compromised" segment of the population affected by Yolanda. Both Olney and Cuevas announced the pre-positioning of "BEACON Boxes" in Yolanda-hit areas to protect pregnant women and newborns in vulnerable areas against future natural disasters such as typhoons and failures delivery of health services. The BEACON Box, or Birthing Essentials And Care Of Newborns Box, contains all basic tools and materials necessary to help a pregnant woman deliver in a safe and clean environment and packaged in a storm-proof box. Cuevas said the BEACON Box will be prepositioned in the most vulnerable barangays in the Yolanda-affected areas, where more than 750 births are expected every day.
The BEACON Box supplies include plastic sheets, a tarpaulin, soap, sterile cord ties, sterile blades, clean towels, a birth certificate, and a lamp.
Save the Children has allotted P10 million to place these boxes in the most vulnerable barangays geared toward helping the most vulnerable pregnant women. Statistically, more than 100 of those were likely to have involved a potentially life threatening complication, Cueva added. Meanwhile, the "State of the World's Mothers 2014: Saving Mothers and Children in Humanitarian Crisis" said that in the Philippines, an increasing percentage of deaths of children under 5 years of age are occurring among newborn babies in the first month of life. These mostly preventable deaths are likely to have risen in number following Yolanda – and are likely to have affected newborn girls disproportionately, the report said. There is an urgent need to increase access to healthcare in places where the government's capacity is weak and conflict and insecurity is widespread, it added. Save the Children was one of the first international agencies to respond after Yolanda and remains the largest responder in some of the worst affected areas.
Almost six months after Yolanda wreaked havoc, the agency has helped more than 470,000 children and adults with assistance, including food, water, medicines, shelter, and hygiene items. Identifying the likely emergency scenarios in your community will help you prepare for a situation you may actually encounter. The common theme to many emergency scenarios is the idea that you may be "off the grid" for a while, perhaps having no access to electricity, reliably clean drinking water, food, sanitation or medicines.
Age – Kids might want coloring books to pass the time, while adults may want a good book to read. Responsibility – Include those people or things you are responsible for, in your plan. Location – Where is my family in relation to where I work, and how would I get to them if needed?
Dietary needs – Consider food allergies or special nutritional requirements you may need.
Medications – Have the actual medications you may need on hand, as a prescription can't be filled if the power is out or you can't get to a pharmacy. Pets – All that applies to humans also applies to pets, so don't forget to plan for their needs as well. Camping can be as simple as a can of beans under a tarp, to a fine meal cooked in the galley of your RV. Water and water containers – One gallon of drinkable water, per person, per day for three days (72 hours). First Aid Kit – Don't forget to include any special medications you or your family may require. Whistle – Very loud signal whistles are available, specifically designed to send their shrill tone far distances. Disposable moist towels and garbage bags – To manage hygiene and contain sanitation, limiting the spread of germs, and to make your temporary circumstances a bit more comfortable.
Adjustable wrench and pliers – An adjustable crescent-type of wrench or pliers can be used to turn off utilities (service can only be restored by your utility provider – do not attempt on your own).
Local and regional maps – Used to follow evacuation routes or identify areas to avoid due to flooding. One of the best ways to learn how to be prepared is to volunteer for any number of local organizations that provide training to members of the community. By doing so, you will be more prepared for a disaster situation than probably 90 percent of the public. Buy it now, it will be even more costly later.You may also want to consider reading this informative guide written by a military trained expert who learned the skill and knowledge to survive a real food & water crisis.
Learn to grow your own survival garden and also the different ways to plant, preserve, and store your harvest of organic foods. Also, to learn the basic facts about what food dehydration is, visit our Facts about Food Dehydrating Page. When you decontaminate, do so in a manner that eliminates any harmful microorganisms, chemical residues, or filth that could pose a food safety risk. Remove dead pests and sanitize any food-contact surfaces that have come in contact with pests. And they want adults and authorities to talk to them about exactly what is going on when a disaster strikes," the annual report added. For its 2014 edition, the report looks at the impact of humanitarian crises on maternal, newborn, and child survival in countries consistently ranked as the most difficult places to be a mother. In the Southeast Asian region, the Philippines is behind Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore, and just ahead of Timor-Leste and Indonesia. When mothers and fathers are struggling to deal with their own stress, it can impair the ability of their traumatized children to process their own feelings," it added.
Emergency relief is ending, and we are adapting our activities to support the rebuilding of people's homes and livelihoods," Olney told a press conference launching the report. Francesca Cuevas, director of health of Save the Children-Philippines, said their organization is restoring the delivery of primary and basic health services. The agency's response is therefore not only supporting the huge recovery effort, but is also helping affected communities adapt and prepare for future disasters," Olney said.
It also showed us that after the initial emergency has passed, existing institutions can be rebuilt and aid can get through quickly," he added. Being ready for camping already has you well on your way to being prepared for an unexpected emergency.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) advises planning for a 72 hour (3 day) supply of food, water, clothing and emergency shelter for each person. For some, adding a few basic supplies to the camping gear you already have would be within FEMA guidelines for being prepared. Remember to stash some fun foods to pass the time, like hard candies or lollipops; don't forget a manual can opener. Keeping your emergency gear and sleeping gear ready to go and in an accessible spot is the trick.
Even if you don't have the time to stay active in a group, often the initial training offered by these organizations can go a long way in giving you the understanding to prepare yourself and your family in case of the unexpected. Businesses wanting to reopen after such disasters must have comprehensive plans in place to address, at a minimum, the following primary areas: damaged food products, physical facilities, pest control, equipment, food source, and employees. The one exception is canned food where the cans are hermetically sealed and no damage has occurred to the can's seal. Alcohol hand gels are ineffective against germs on soiled hands and are therefore not a substitute for soap and water handwashing. Pregnant women are giving birth without access to safe and clean health facilities," Cuevas said.
That's a start, but the reality will vary, based on the people, for whom you are preparing, and where you are. It's a good idea, if you work or spend time away from where your gear is stored, to have a basic preparedness kit in your vehicle.
The cans must be undamaged, commercially prepared foods, in all-metal cans or retort pouches. Dispose of contaminated or spoiled foods products in closed containers for removal to prevent rodent and fly food sources and harborage.
Rather, think of emergency preparedness as being ready to camp, right where you live or somewhere else close by, but on short notice. You can also use headlamps which will free up your hand(s).Yet another backup option to flashlights and headlamps are lanterns for providing light. Remove labels that can come off, thoroughly wash the cans, rinse them, and then disinfect them with a sanitizing solution consisting of 1 tablespoon of bleach per gallon of potable water. Finally, re-label containers that had the labels removed, including the expiration date, with a permanent marker. Restaurants and food service operations monitored the comings and goings of outside vendors, locked doors, controlled access to the kitchen areas and never released product formulas.

This chicken stew recipe is a favorite in my house. It's sooo tasty and easy to make. I cook this in big batches and always have a couple containers of it on hand in the freezer. If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can easily cook this in a crock pot!
I was always of the opinion that cooking a whole chicken was more trouble than it was worth. But with my Instant Pot it's easy and I can get 3 different meals out of it. Now that I have an Instant Pot, I cook a whole chicken about once a week.


"A Letter to Her Husband, Absent upon Public(k) Employment" by Anne Bradstreet is a love poem, written in heroic couplets, except for the final couplet, which is in iambic tetrameter. Heroic couplets are two-line groupings in iambic pentameter with an "aa bb cc…" rhyme scheme. Iambic describes a way to write and read poetry according to stressed and unstressed syllables. An iamb is a unit of poetic meter, or a foot, consisting of one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable. Several types of metric substitutions are employed in iambic poetry, but the iamb is the root, and by far the most common. Pentameter refers to the number of feet in a line of poetry—in this case, five. Bradstreet most commonly wrote in iambic meter, usually in pentameter, but sometimes in tetrameter (four feet). Edmund Spenser and Sir Philip Sidney, who both wrote in iambic pentameter, were two of Bradstreet's chief influences.
The tone of this poem is romantic, and a bit over-exaggerated in its wistfulness.
Lines 13-16 deal with the narrator's children, whom she refers to as "those fruits which through thy heat I bore" (line 14). The word "heat" can be viewed in the context of the extended sun metaphor, but possibility of sexual connotation should not be ruled out. Bradstreet and her husband (often the much-admired subject in his wife's work) had eight children.
An extended sun metaphor continues through lines 17-24. In the penultimate couplet, the narrator prays that, once the sun returns, he will stay with her until he dies.
Since the narrator's husband is the sun, his death will not only cause her great sorrow but, indeed, the end of the world.
The theme of this poem is the absence of the beloved—a very common theme throughout the ages. Throughout the poem, the narrator expresses her feelings of deep connection with him. She is affected by his absence and longs for his return.
In the first six lines, Bradstreet uses metaphor and hyperbole to convey her emotional dependence on her husband. She calls him her head, her heart, her eyes, her life, her joy, her "Magazine of earthly store" (lines 1-2); he is everything. The two of them are inseparable, and so the narrator struggles to understand how they can exist so far apart.
In lines 7-12, the narrator likens herself to the Earth. She laments the fact that the Sun (her husband) is so far away.
It is winter. The bereaved Earth longs for her "sweet Sol" to return "from Capricorn" (line 12). According to traditional astrology, Capricorn starts in the beginning of winter, and the key life foci attributed to people born under this sign are career and structure. Later in the poem, the narrator refers to Cancer, which is directly opposite Capricorn on the zodiac wheel.
People born under the sign of Cancer, which begins with summer, value home and family.
For the most part, Anne Bradstreet wrote in Modern English. Her writing is relatively easy to follow, but there is still some Middle English sprinkled in, such as the pronouns "thee" and "thy." Some words, like "nummed" and "lye" are spelled differently, but still recognizable to the ear. Poets at this time sometimes employed contractions, such as "in's" and "'joy'd" to keep a poem's meter.
Anne Bradstreet (1612-1672) was born into a noble family in England. She did not go to school, but her father was very learned and had a great library. Anne grew up devouring classic and modern literature. She immigrated to New England with her husband, Simon, and her parents in the 1630s. It was here that she began writing poetry and gave birth to eight children. Her first book of poetry, The Tenth Muse Lately Sprung Up in America, was first published in London in 1650.

Friday 29th November 2019 - The Curst Sons
Apologies that the last Curst Sons gig was cancelled at short notice, we are pleased to announce it has been re-arranged for the 29th November.
The Curst Sons have been playing their powerful stripped back take on early American traditional music since 1998. Performing mainly original material with a few distinctive arrangements of traditional songs they have released six full length albums and one 10" vinyl EP on their own Curst Mountain label. Over the years they have played venues ranging from tiny country pubs to festival main stages, appeared on several local radio shows and recorded two live sessions on the much missed Mark Lamarr BBC Radio 2 show.
They were runners up in the 2013 International Song Writing Competition, nominated for Best Alt Country Album in the 10th Independent Music Awards 2011 and for Best Americana Act in the British Country Music Awards 2010.
Tim Dunkerley (slide guitar, mandolin, vocals). Tim's interest in music was first awakened by his father's tales of wild living in a harmonica band on the minesweeper HMS Hound. Loath to leave his nautical background Tim coast hopped east from his Portsmouth home and soon washed up on the beach at Brighton. He is also a teacher/ facilitator with Unified Rhythm, a samba/fusion marching band for young adults, including those with learning difficulties.
Willi Kerr (vocals, percussion). Born on Mersea Island on the marshy fringes of Essex, Willi abandoned his agricultural roots and took to the sinful ways of the city. Diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma (an incurable cancer of the bone marrow) in 1998 he was given 6 days to live. Being a cantankerous old cuss he decided that this was the perfect time to re-launch his musical career, and The Curst Sons were born. Thanks to the healing power of hillbilly music he is now in the rudest of health.
Dave (Specky) Simner (banjo, lead guitar, vocals). Raised in the Black Country on a diet of heavy metal and motorbikes Dave fled south till he hit the coast. He lost the long hair and leather jacket and soon became entangled in the Brighton music scene. He has played in more bands than he can remember and somehow took up the banjo. He also plays with his own 60's R&B outfit The Spectones, and in his day job leads music sessions for adults with learning disabilities.
Scott Smith (guitar, banjo, harmonica, vocals) was born in Wichita, Kansas and heard a lot of country radio there at an impressionable age. Escaping North America, he found himself in the UK, where he remains, an ex-pat roots musician. Scott is a member of the Porchlight Smoker band, and makes sound designs and post production audio for whomever will employ him.

Q: Load MIT-BIH Arrhythmia ECG database onto MATLAB I am working on ECG signal processing using neural network which involves pattern recognition.
As I need to collect all the data from Matlab to use it as test signal, I am finding it difficult to load it on to the Matlab.
I am using MIT Arrhythmia database here.
The signal needs to be indexed and stored as data structure in Matlab compatible format.
Presently, the signal is in .atr and .dat format.
How can you load MIT-BIH Arrhythmia database onto Matlab?

A: You can use physionet ATM to get .mat files which are easier to work with.
In the input part select the desired leads, length, database and sample.
In the toolbox select export as .mat:

Then download the '.mat' file,

In order to open the file in MATLAB, here is a sample code:
load ('100m.mat')          % the signal will be loaded to "val" matrix
val = (val - 1024)/200;    % you have to remove "base" and "gain"
ECGsignal = val(1,1:1000); % select the lead (Lead I)
Fs = 360;                  % sampling frequecy
t = (0:length(ECGsignal)-1)/Fs;  % time
plot(t,ECGsignal)

and you will get,

However, If you were to read annotation files for arrhythmia or QRS complexes that would be another problem.
Edit
The base and gain come from the info file (second picture).
This file gives you various information regarding the ECG signal.

In the last sentence it says: To convert from raw units to the physical units shown above, subtract 'base' and divide by 'gain'.

A: You need the program rddata.m (MATLab script) from this website. The program can be found here. rddata.m is probably the only program you will need to read the ecg signals. I remember having used this program and database myself not too long ago.

A: There is a tutorial for using matlab to read the data. tutorial for matlab user

*

*install "The WFDB Toolbox for Matlab" from the link above. Add the folder of the toolbox to the path in matlab.

*Download the ECG signal. Be sure to download '.atr', '.dat' and '.hea' together for the signal you are to deal with.

*Command in matlab is as follows :

[tm,signal,Fs]=rdsamp( filename , 1 ) ;
[ann,type]=rdann( filename , 'atr' ) ;

Note: for signal '101', its name is '101'. And you can check the detail information about rdsamp and rdann from the tutorial.

A: So I read this answer 3 months ago and removed the base and gain. It turns out , i completely shifted my R-peaks in various directions, screwing up all my results. While I am not sure if doing this is necessary in matlab or not, DO NOT DO THIS if you are not preprocessing your signal in matlab. I was preprocessing my signal in python, and all I did to normalizae it was
val = val/2047  % (2047 is the max volt range of signals)

and used butterworth filters to remove artifacts  (range 0.5hz-45hz)
CORRECTION
The cutoff i selected is 0.5 to 45 not 5-15 as I previously reported. This cutoff preserves the QRS for various arrhythmias without adding too much noise
# baseline correction and bandpass filter of signals
lowpass = scipy.signal.butter(1, highfreq/(rate/2.0), 'low')
highpass = scipy.signal.butter(1, lowfreq/(rate/2.0), 'high')

# TODO: Could use an actual bandpass filter
ecg_low = scipy.signal.filtfilt(*lowpass, x=ecg)
ecg_band = scipy.signal.filtfilt(*highpass, x=ecg_low)

A: just use it
A=input('Enter Variable: ','s');
load(A);
a=(val(1,:));
b=fir1(100,[0.1,0.25],'stop');
y2=filter(b,1,a);
figure;
plot(y2);

A: Use ATM to extract .mat as described by Kamtal (now known Rashid).
However, note that to see the .info file in some cases, you need to click the arrow

After I pushed this forward to developers here, we got improvements in the documentation here in Section 4.

If they are all integers in the range [-2^N, 2^N-1 ] or [ 0, 2^N ], they are probably digital. Compare the values to see if they are in the expected physiological range of the signal you are analyzing. For example, if the header states that the signal is an ECG stored in milivolts, which typically has an amplitude of about 2mV, a signal of integers ranging from -32000 to 32000 probably isn't giving you the physical ECG in milivolts...
If they are not integers then they are physical. Once again you can quickly compare the values to see if they are in the expected physiological range of the signal you are analyzing.

0-9-10 wfdb - physical units

We say that signals are in 'physical units' when the values are used to represent the actual real life values as closely as possible, although obviously everything on the computer is digital and discrete rather than analogue and continuous. This includes our precious 64 bit double precision floating point values, but this is as close as we can get and already very close to the actual physical values, so we refer to them as 'physical'.
-
For example, if a 15 bit signal is collected via a capturing device, Physionet will likely store it as a 16 bit signal. Each 16 bit block stores an integer value between -2^15 and 2^15-1, and using the gain and offset stated in the header for each channel, the original physical signal can be mapped out for processing.

The default units are now physical units where base and gain should be added stated in the header for each channel, so the physical signal can be mapped out for processing.
% rawUnits
%       A 1x1 integer (default: 0). Returns tm and signal as vectors
%       according to the following values:
%               rawUnits=0 - Uses Java Native Interface to directly fetch  data, returning signal in physical units with double precision.
%               rawUnits=1 -returns tm ( millisecond precision only! ) and signal in physical units with 64 bit (double) floating point precision
%               rawUnits=2 -returns tm ( millisecond precision only! ) and signal in physical units with 32 bit (single) floating point  precision
%               rawUnits=3 -returns both tm and signal as 16 bit integers (short). Use Fs to convert tm to seconds.
%               rawUnits=4 -returns both tm and signal as 64 bit integers (long). Use Fs to convert tm to seconds.

rawUnits=1, rawUnits=2 use also physical units.
rawUnits=3, rawUnits=4 use then again analog/digital units where you need to remove base and gain.
If you use rawUnits=1 or rawUnits=2, you need to adjust for base and gain where base = 1024 and gain = 200
# Kamtal's method in considering base and gain
load('201m.mat');
val = (val - 1024)/200;    % you have to remove "base" and "gain"
ECGsignal = val(1,16:950); % select the lead (Lead I)

See the .info file below where you can get the base and gain. There is also the unit mV which suggests the values should be near 2 after the base-gain operations.
<0-9-9 wfdb - analog/digital units so base and gain by default; now only rawUnits=3,4 for analog units
After selection ATM, you should be able to see the list where you can select .info file after the export as described in Kamtal's answer.
The .info file instructs to remove so-called base and gain from the data before use
Source: record mitdb/201  Start: [00:02:10.000]
val has 2 rows (signals) and 3600 columns (samples/signal)
Duration:     0:10
Sampling frequency: 360 Hz  Sampling interval: 0.002777777778 sec
Row     Signal  Gain    Base    Units
1       MLII    200     1024    mV
2       V1      200     1024    mV

To convert from raw units to the physical units shown
above, subtract 'base' and divide by 'gain'.

Comparing wrong answers here! [Deprecated]
Kamtal (now called Rashid) answer is about the old wfdb system which used digital units without removal of base and gain
# Kamtal's method in considering base and gain
load('201m.mat');
val = (val - 1024)/200;    % you have to remove "base" and "gain"
ECGsignal = val(1,16:950); % select the lead (Lead I)

# Method without considering base and gain
load('201m.mat');
ECGsignal2 = val(1,16:950);

# http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/10502-image-overlay
imshow(imoverlay(ECGsignal, ECGsignal2, uint8([255,0,0])))

and you get the difference between my method and his method


CHARLESTON — In what is likely to be a speed bump on the fast track to passage, legislation to require public colleges and universities to permit individuals with conceal carry permits to carry firearms on campus was taken up and advanced by the House Finance Committee on Thursday evening.
Delegates earlier Thursday voted by voice vote to send House Bill 2519, with an estimated $11.6 million cost in its first full year of implementation, to the committee for further review.
It had been slated to be on first reading on the House floor, following a 51-47 vote Wednesday evening to waive the Finance Committee reference.
While critics said that HEPC had inflated potential costs for a bill opposed by college and university administrators, House Judiciary Chairman John Shott, R-Mercer, called on delegates Thursday to send the bill to the Finance Committee, saying it is prudent that all bills with sizable amounts of potential cost be reviewed by the committee.
"I know there's a great deal of skepticism of fiscal notes, but we're dealing with our colleges and universities," he said.
"I think it's a dangerous precedent for our body to ignore a fiscal note of this size," Shott added.
Majority Leader Amy Summers, R-Taylor — who made the motion Wednesday to waive the Finance Committee reference — and Finance Chairman Eric Householder, R-Berkeley, spoke in support of Shott's motion Thursday.
So did Del. Brandon Steele, R-Raleigh, who said the legislators should not bend the rules simply because they're passionate about an issue, alluding to shortcuts the Senate took in an ill-fated attempt to win passage of the omnibus education bill.
"The prudent thing to do with an eight-figure fiscal note is to follow the process," he said.
Ultimately, however, the bill got relatively short shrift in the Finance Committee, advancing back to the full House with no amendments offered and with only a cursory review of the details of the fiscal note.
on the committee to take an in-depth look at higher education funding, saying colleges and universities cannot continue to absorb a combination of ongoing funding cuts and additional unfunded legislative mandates.
"We continue to cut, cut, cut, and we ask them to pay more," he said.
As drafted, the bill provides no way for colleges and universities to recoup costs of implementing campus carry, except that institutions can charge students to store firearms in secured on-campus storage facilities mandated in the bill.
Meanwhile, in Morgantown on Thursday, West Virginia University Vice President Rob Alsop and Provost Joyce McDonnell hosted the third of three Campus Conversation hearings for faculty, staff and students on the legislation.
While WVU administration prefers that decisions on firearms safety and all other campus matters be made at the local level by the university's board of governors and not by the Legislature, Alsop said the reality is that the bill has considerable support among legislators and is likely to pass.
"We think it has a lot of support, and we're trying to protect those areas most sensitive to us," he said.
He said the university is working to preserve exceptions amended into the bill by the Judiciary Committee.
Adopted Tuesday, the Judiciary amendment reduces the minimum seating capacity of stadiums or arenas where firearms could be prohibited from 1,500 to 1,000 seats, and expands the number of on-campus locations where firearms would be prohibited to include patient care facilities, mental health counseling facilities and laboratories containing hazardous materials.
It also allows institutions to designate residence halls where firearms would be permitted in common areas, and requires those institutions to provide a secure firearms storage area in those dorms.
"Our position is local control, but given the support, what we've been focused on is the preservation of exceptions for the most sensitive areas," Alsop said, adding that WVU President Gordon Gee has not formally taken a position on the bill.
On Thursday, Marshall University President Jerome Gilbert issued a statement opposing the legislation.
Gilbert read the statement during the faculty senate meeting Thursday afternoon and received applause.
Marshall faculty is also distributing a petition in opposition, which has been signed by more than 200 people, including faculty, staff and students.
At WVU, faculty and students picketed on campus Thursday in opposition to the bill. A protest is being organized for Friday, Feb. 22, at the Capitol in Charleston as well.
At a Judiciary Committee public hearing on the NRA-backed bill on Feb. 11, opponents of the bill outnumbered proponents by a more than three-to-one margin and included college administrators, students, parents and law enforcement officers.
Also in the Finance Committee on Thursday, committee members originated legislation to advance Gov. Jim Justice's promise to dedicate a total of $150 million to a reserve fund to help offset future cost increases for state-managed PEIA health insurance coverage.

Q: Stata: Correctly import massive delimited text file (from R) with multi line content and row numbers I fail to import a dataset which I exported from R into Stata 14.1. It contains comments that users wrote to each other. It has the following structure:

For some reason Stata fails to detect the correct number of variables (in the first line) and adds additional variables:

Additionally the contents of the variables are all shifted to the right, because Stata fails to recognize the line numbers at the beginning of the lines. If i manually edit the text file and add an additional variable "line_number" in the first line of the file, this issue is resolved.
To make things worse the file has 652569 observations and contains entries in several languages including Mandarin etc.
The file is UTF-8 encoded. How can I correctly import this file in Stata?
In contrastR does a great job and imports it correctly with a simple oneliner:
X <- read.table ("x.txt")

However my collaborator wants to use Stata. Thanks for your help!
PS: Link to the textfile for reproduction:
http://www25.zippyshare.com/v/UKOExjU3/file.html

A: Consider using Stata's insheet command, specifying the space delimiter. Do note: this is a coded solution to be used in .do file or command window and not via Stata's GUI menu per your screenshot:
clear
insheet using "path/to/data.txt", delimiter(" ")

Initial Output
Below uses your linked file and you will notice an unnamed v9 column outputs. And in dataset everything is shifted to the right. The reason being is that in R you are exporting the row.names which do not have column headers and so Stata reads in all named/unnamed columns. So, Stata's project_id aligns to R's row.names (1,2,3,4,5), Stata's project_title for R's project_id, and so on.

Sorted by:
     Note:  dataset has changed since last saved

Resolution
To resolve above column misalignment, for your text output in R do not output row.names:
write.table(X, file = ("data.txt"), row.names = FALSE)

And if you do want to keep an ID, add it as a new, named column to include in export:
X$ID <- row.names(X)

Even better is using a consistent delimiter like comma  or tab using the sep argument. In R, the command write.csv(...) is actually a convenient wrapper for write.table(..., sep = ","):
write.csv(X, file = ("data.txt"), row.names = FALSE)

write.table(X, file = ("data.txt"), row.names = FALSE, sep="\t")

Then in Stata, specify with insheet options being comma or tab:
insheet using "/path/to/data.txt", comma

insheet using "/path/to/data.txt", tab

A: Using Stata 14.2 (14.1 should be the same) ...
    import delimited <yourfile>, delimiter(space, collapse) bindquote(strict) colrange(2) encoding(UTF-8) clear

    describe

Gornja Radgona Castle (, ; sometimes also Ratigoj Castle) is a castle in Gornja Radgona, Slovenia.

History
The castle was built sometime between 1147 and 1182, and served as an important fortress on the border of Styria with Hungary. The town of Gornja Radgona grew up at the base of the hill upon which the castle is built. The castle is mentioned in 1265 as having 40 subservient villages with 355 farms. In the late 15th century it was the property of one Hans von Stutenberg, who joined Andreas Baumkircher in a rebellion against Emperor Frederick III. When the rebellion failed, the emperor seized the castle. In 1479 it was occupied by troops loyal to Matthias Corvinus who kept control of the castle until Corvinus' death in 1490. Subsequently it was owned by the emperor but leased to different castellans for a long time. In the late 16th century, it underwent a thorough reconstruction. In 1623 Emperor Ferdinand II sold the castle to Hans Ulrich von Eggenberg. It remained within the Eggenberg family until 1717, when it befell Leopold, count of Herberstein through marriage. In 1789, he sold it to the count of Wurmbrand and it then stayed in the same family until 1914. In 1931, Slovenian authorities took over the castle itself; it has since served a number of purposes. It was damaged in 1945 during World War II but later repaired. It is today rented out and used as a private residence.
