Q: excel.link package not working with R version 4.0.2 (2020-06-22) -- "Taking Off Again" I am not able to use excel.link package with R version 4.0.2 (2020-06-22) -- "Taking Off Again". The code I am trying to use worked on previous versions. Has anyone else experienced the same problem and found a way to fix it?
For example the following code used to open a new excel sheet with the iris dataset in it
ExcelPrint = function(rObject) {
  library(excel.link)
  myExcelProcess = COMCreate("Excel.Application")
  xl.workbook.add()
  excelRange = myExcelProcess[["ActiveSheet"]]$Range("A1:A1")
  xl.write(rObject, excelRange, row.names = FALSE)
}

ExcelPrint(iris)

A: I ended up using the following function. It uses openxlsx package as Allan mentioned in the comments and writes an xlsx file to disc before using shell command to open it.
library(openxlsx)

quickExcelPrint=function(rObject,filename="r_excel_tmp.xlsx",overwrite=FALSE){
  if (filename %in% dir() & overwrite==FALSE){
    stop(paste0("Excel filename ",filename," already exists! Please either specify another filename or set overwrite to TRUE."))
  } else{
    write.xlsx(rObject, filename)
    shell(paste0("start excel ",filename))
  }
}

Example
quickExcelPrint(iris,overwrite = T)

What is latency in live media streaming and why HLS is not good at low-latency streaming?
How to produce low-latency live HLS streams?
Latency in the context of live media streaming is the delay (generally expressed in seconds or milliseconds) between a timestamp in a live event and the moment when viewers consume this timestamp. High-latency in live media streaming is generally not a good thing: imagine a soccer game where you could only watch a goal 1 minute after it happened ... Twitter and Facebook updates are likely to spoil the suspense for you!
In the broadcasting industry (read traditional TV industry) years of experience and well-established processes have helped reduced latency to near-zero and there is no-reason why the online streaming media industry could not come up with such low-latency solutions.
When Flash was still a valid option for media playback in the online video world the RTMP Flash-specific protocol could help us stream with low-latency. As Flash is now no longer a viable option, we cannot use the RTMP protocol as a delivery protocol anymore. Most adaptive bitrate streaming is done with HLS those days, since it is the de-facto standard for reaching mobile devices and it also works well on a wide array of devices from desktop computers to set-top boxes.
You need to tune your streaming chain to achieve low-latency streaming with HLS. Most optimisations happen on the server. You can refer to your transcoder or streaming server manual for more information on how to best tune it for low-latency streaming with HLS. If you are a Wowza customer this guide will help you improve latency of HLS streams.
There are also a few player settings we can play with to improve latency. But before we start, we need to review the cons of low-latency live tuning, as we anything specialised, it generally comes at a cost.
If you are sure low-latency streaming is for you then read on.
In our testing we used a low-latency tuned Wowza server receiving a signal from a FFmpeg-based transcoder, transcoding a 720p live recording into 3 renditions (720p at 2200 kbps, 540p at 1500 kbps, 360p at 600 kbps). We used 1 key-frame per second for transcoding each of our renditions and used a 1 second HLS chunk duration as explained in the above Wowza guide. We also used a CDN (Amazon Cloud Front) during our testing to make sure it would be relevant to a large scale deployment.
We let our test run for over an hour and tested on various browsers and mobile devices, while frequently refreshing our test page, to insure we had consistent results. We were able to reach and maintain a lower than 5 seconds latency for our live HLS test stream. On iOS and macOS Safari where we use native HLS playback in HTML5 video (as opposed to Media Source Extensions) latency was more in the 10 seconds range.


Yo Yo..started working as photog/videog and will be getting a new cammy soon. Der 605 has been awesome but upgrades must come..soooooooooo need some advice.
I have the Nikon 24-70 and 70-200mm so a good cammy is needed.
I can't argue with the great photos Herman takes with his 810!
Jazz, a tricky time of the year to be asking this question. Just imagine a D820 with 4K video being launched before Christmas.
Anyway, I'm very pleased with my D810... Take a look at the DPReview.com specifications comparison and see which is most suited for your requirements.
The D750 is a great body but its not a Pro body and that for me is the decider.
Its all the little things that add up that make a D810 the better choice - flash sync, no low-pass, base iso, mode button, AF-ON and the body itself.
If you're going to chuck this sort of money about and remember you're making this your primary income earning device there is no point is making do.
While I agree, get the pro body. I would rent the 810 now. There might be an upgrade before the end of the year. But, get to see if it will work out for you.
You are doing PRO work..... get a pro body.
D810 is a phenomenal camera, but I am with Herman on this.... wait for the D820.
You can RENT in the meantime. Some expense and inconvenience, but worth the wait, if it happens.
If I was billing people on a regular basis and I made my living from Photography .... D5.
PJ, I go along with the school of thought that says if you are doing Pro work, get a Pro body. I have been more than pleased with the D810. I am amazed at the low noise levels I get when I push ISO to 12,800 for interior photography. If you don't want to wait for a D820, I recommend the D810 without reservation.
Art mentioned the D5. I hear great things about that body, but I also understand that it is aimed at a different user (i.e. news and sports) than bodies like the D500 or D810. If you think that it's capabilities might be closer to what you need, then your dilemma is solved.
I hesitate to recommend waiting for the release of a D820. While the D810 is due for an upgrade, the D300s languished for many years before the D500 came along. You might be waiting for a LONG time. Second, in recent years, Nikon has had a troubling history of QC issues with new DSLRs. Der 605 is a prime example.
Perhaps you can buy some time by renting a D810 and billing it to your clients? Not a good long-term solution, but if Nikon doesn't roll out a D820 by January, buying a D810 won't seem like a bad idea.
Nikon 810....... I am going to rent soon.
Not a good long-term solution, but if Nikon doesn't roll out a D820 by January, buying a D810 won't seem like a bad idea.
The price might go DOWN!!
I've used both the D750 and D810. The controls and some of the functionality is better on the D810. The D750 does have a slight advantage in the AF system.
For highest quality images, I'd take the D810. For a backup camera, the D750 does the job nicely.
I'd consider a refurbished D810. The camera has been on the market a while, and if you keep your eyes out for deals, the refurbished D810 would be a great choice and save $1000 or more. You might be able to buy a refurb and get a year warranty by using a credit card that has extended warranty benefits.


St Petersburg students speak out against "ideological brainwashing of young people"
The Russian Student Union (RSU) in St. Petersburg has spoken out against the creation of the so-called Council for Ideological Work with Students. According to RSU members, the Council, created "to enhance ideological work with students", will seek to "combat dissent in the student environment and repress any student initiatives that are not aligned with the interests of the University Administration".
The St. Petersburg branch of the Student Union stated that they cannot allow a return to the days when ideological propaganda was promoted amongst young people. "The purpose of the Council is to carry out the ideological brainwashing of young people. The creation of special bodies to exert control over a person's beliefs is unacceptable and poses a risk to society. There is no doubt whatsoever that the Council has been created, first and foremost, with the aim of forestalling unrest amongst students, who are the most socially volatile group of the population, and to get universal "unconditional approval" amongst students for any initiative taken by the University Administration or the Government, reads the RSU statement, cited by Rosbalt.
As a result, the students decided to call on the Russian Ministry of Education and the Council of Rectors of the St. Petersburg universities to "immediately revoke the decision to create the Council for Ideological Work with Students and to take all possible steps to remove those who were behind this initiative from their posts."
Letters were sent out to universities of the northern capital last week saying that educational establishments must, by 18 November, designate an individual responsible for ideological work and submit proposals to the Council for a programme of ideological work with the students.

What do we know about where bdsm comes from? 1 Other species
We share over 98 per cent of our genes with chimps and bonobos, our closest kin. When we watch them we read their expressions and body language, and we often think that we know what they're feeling.
A group of female bonobos rubbing genitals together. A lesbian orgy, in human terms.
That can tempt us into "explaining" human traits by finding some precedent for those traits in primate behaviour. That's one reason why evolutionary psychology books sell well, but haven't won much academic support. At its simplest, the evo psych bestseller involves selecting an aspect of the behaviour of one or two species and arguing that this explains similar behaviour in humans, or that it provides a model of "natural" behaviour for humans.
"Natural" primate behaviour includes male dominance, female resistance to male dominance, pair bonding, harem formation, and promiscuity. All of these things exist in different human cultures, but the existence of the primate models doesn't mean that any of these options are particularly "natural" for humans.
There are human cultures in which powerful older men keep women in harems, and there are human cultures that don't much interfere with female sexual choices. It seems unlikely that the harem cultures got that behaviour from common ancestry with harem-forming baboons, while cultures that endorse female sexual choice do so because of inheritances we share with bonobos.
But there's something there, between us and our cousins. When we see a chimp or bonobo mother comforting a hurt infant, cradling the infant in her arms, gazing at it and pursing her lips and making soft sounds, patting it and stroking, we don't really know what that mother or infant are thinking, but we probably do know quite a bit about their emotions. Sometimes the emotional situation, the gestures, the sounds and the expressions are so close to ours that it seems reasonable to suppose that we really do share some experiences and sets of feelings across the species divide.
This is relevant to bdsm because of the way submissive presentation postures seem to work in chimps and bonobos, in particular. So we'll get to that tomorrow.

Screw the Lakers.
by Rebecca Walsh
Wait, I know what you are thinking. Yes I can't stand Kobe & Phil, but that's not why I say "screw the Lakers."
Yes they just won the NBA Championship.
By the way, your fans set police cars on fire and looted local stores like a bunch of idiotic uneducated thugs. Nothing new, it has happened on at least a half a dozen occasions in LA, and some other NBA Championship cities.
But that's ok, because on Wednesday the Lakers AND the city of Los Angeles are going to drop ONE MILLION DOLLARS EACH on a parade for Kobe & Phil.
I would say that again slowly, but it's just easier for you to read it again.
NEWS FLASH LA, YOU ARE HEMMORRHAGING MONEY! California is bankrupt, and Los Angeles is the top city on the list. In three years, city workers pension funds will be gone. Kaput. Tapped out. ZERO BALANCE.
LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is screaming about the proposed budget cuts because they are for public safety (and NBA riots) and are necessary. Well, here's an idea you imbecile… DON'T SPEND A MILLION DOLLARS ON A PARADE! Forget that Los Angeles does not have $1 million dollars to spend, let's just go with this idea...
The Lakers have an operating profit of $47.9 million (on $191 million in revenues). Let them pay for the parade. Better yet, give me the money and I will throw a parade for about $200,000, and give the rest back to the Laker fans that you made $47 million dollars from!

Will Warner Bros. 'Justice League' Movie Tie Into 'Man Of Steel'?
Will Warner Bros. 'Justice League' Movie Tie Into 'Man Of Steel'?
"Like what Chris Nolan is doing and what I'm doing with Superman, what they'll do with Justice League will be its own thing with its own Batman and own Superman. We'll be over here with our movie and they'll kinda get to do it twice which is kinda cool," Zack Snyder said in March 2011 about the status of "Man Of Steel" and whether or not it would tie into a proposed "Justice League" movie. But a few things happened since then. Firstly, Warner Bros. would release "Green Lantern" a few months later and it would flop horribly, killing any chances of launching a new franchise. And this year, Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises" puts an end to the latest version of Batman on the big screen, putting the character away for a few years until the inevitable reboot. What's a studio to do?
Well, last summer they quietly hired "Gangster Squad" writer Will Beall to pen a "Justice League" script, and while it was recently reported that the studio wasn't planning on any DC Comics movie hitting the big screen before 2015, perhaps they are getting their ducks in a row. According to a brief mention in a recent report by THR, the studio "will try to resuscitate Batman as a stand-alone franchise and/or as part of a planned 'Justice League' ensemble that could connect to next summer's 'Man of Steel.' "

Granted, that's pretty thin and the trade could be speculating a bit there, but it is intriguing (though the use of the word "resuscitate" to describe a billion dollar franchise is a bit odd). Certainly, tying "Justice League" into "Man Of Steel" makes way more sense than recasting the character again for a movie that would arrive (at the earliest) two years after Zack Snyder's film. And the idea of marketing two different Supermans to a moviegoing audience, potentially so close to each other, didn't really much sense to us either. But then again, if executive producer Christopher Nolan has shown, he likes his works to stand outside of any kind of canon, and some kind of Marvel style universe seems to antithetical to how he operates. But he's also just an EP, and thus may not hold as much sway on the movie than if he were a director. And with Snyder coming off two disappointments ("Sucker Punch," "Watchmen") he's not in any real place to negotiate for his movie to be a standalone piece.
Certainly, with Marvel showing they cold turn geek characters into a broadly appealing, billion dollar franchise with "The Avengers," everyone around town is paying attention. Will WB follow this model? Do you want them to? Time will tell, but let us know below.

» Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Review - The Last Heist
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End Review - The Last Heist
Naughty Dog has always been one of PlayStation's top developers. Since the days of Crash Bandicoot, everything they touch almost quite literally turns to gold. When the Uncharted series hit back on the PS3 for the first time, it was the killer app the console needed. The following games in the series only served to solidify that truth.
Now we have what Naughty Dog is calling the last game in this incredible action adventure series. Is Uncharted 4: A Thief's End the send off this franchise deserves, or did Naughty Dog's magic wear off? Let's find out!
Old Friends, New Enemies
The story in Uncharted 4 is exactly what we've come to expect from the series, and then some. Lost cities, ancient treasure, tight spots, these are all hallmarks of the series. Uncharted takes everything you loved about the last three games and combines it into one powerhouse of an experience.
The story in Uncharted 4 has our heroes on the search for Henry Avery's pirate treasure, but don't let the simple premise fool you, this game's story goes far beyond the globe-trotting adventure we're used to (although that's most certainly there). In this game we get to see Nate's brother, Sam, for the first time in the series.
Played by Troy Baker (of course), Sam adds more than just a plot device to the new game. He fits right into the cast of characters as if he's always been there. More than that, he adds a level of depth to Nathan's character that I've never seen in the series.
Yes, it's true, Nathan Drake is getting old in this one. He's settled down and it seems like his treasure hunting days are over until his brother shows up. I'm keeping this extremely vague because I went into Uncharted's story knowing only that his brother was in the game and pirate treasure was involved.
That's all you need to know, because the less you know about a story like this, the better. Suffice to say, everything you expect from an Uncharted game is here in spades. What you won't expect is the incredible level of character development that makes these god-like characters feel more human than they've ever been.
The exotic locations are varied in both their size and scope, the writing is sharp as always, and the voice acting bests most actors in Hollywood. It's truly a masterpiece in both storytelling and in character development. It puts almost every game, and most movies, to shame.
This is the kind of story where, even if you're not a big fan of treasure hunting tales, will still pull you in for hours at a time. The first time my girlfriend and I sat down to play it, both of us being Uncharted fans, we probably played for almost six hours without even realizing it.
I will say that the story feels very familiar, almost too familiar at first, but stick with it and things will soon pick up and enter new and exciting territory. Once you've been through the opening, things will also start to pick up in terms of character development.
Fans of the series will appreciate an early homage to the last games and an incredible easter egg that I won't spoil here. The whole story of Uncharted 4 just stands out as a labor of love from Naughty Dog. They love this series as much as we do and they gave us a final story that is fitting of the series and brings everything together for one last, beautiful, explosive adventure.
If you're coming for action, you'll get it in spades. If you want set pieces that make modern action films look like they were made Microsoft Paint, you'll get those too. If you want deeper characters, more development, and a few heart wrenching moments, you'll have that as well.
It's a perfect story in almost every way. The beginning was a little slow for my taste, but once things started moving, I was absolutely hooked. My only other complaint would be that the villains, while better than Katherine in Uncharted 3, don't quite scare me in the way Uncharted 2's villain did.
Other than that, this is better than any action movie I've seen in the last five years or more. It's an incredible adventure, one that every PS4 owner must absolutely experience. If you're an Uncharted fan, you'll find a fitting send off for our friend.
Perfect Story Paired with Perfect Action and Exploration
Uncharted brought us a new type of exploration with smooth climbing and third-person shooting. Past games in the series have been linear in their level design, but Uncharted 4 opens things up with massive areas that have a lot of different locations within them. You'll have one way forward, yes, but everything feels more open than before.
The climbing mechanics are tighter than ever as well. Drake will jump, leap, and slide with ease. While I still had the occasional hiccup in jumping from one ledge to another, everything seemed tighter and faster than ever before.
The same goes for the shooting. By default there is an aim assist that works really well, all things considered. It will pop to enemies when you aim down the sights on your gun and give you a little bit of wiggle room. It puts a lot of the action on auto-pilot, but if you're not someone who plays a lot of shooters, it makes the game super accessible for all levels of skill.
It can be turned off easily in the options, and they even give you the chance to tweak everything before you jump into the single player campaign.
So, beyond the exploration and the shooting, both of which are great, there are some new mechanics that I really like. For starters, you get a grappling hook now that can hook on to specific surfaces to swing around the environment or climb up walls. You can also do an amazing melee attack while swinging where you drop down on enemies.
If you're weapons are out of ammo, melee attacks like that will also allow you to steal the enemy's gun right then and there in a stylish fashion. Speaking of melee, the fighting mechanics are much more polished and varied that the previous titles.
While you will find linear fight scenes, Uncharted 4 introduces new levels that are essentially open world where you can approach fights in an entirely new way for the series. If you want to tag enemies, stealth your way through the area, and make it out without killing a soul, you're good to go. If you want to swing around, climb, and utilize every inch of these larger areas, you can do that too.
These large areas will also allow you to drive vehicles. The driving controls are solid and don't require a huge amount of experience with racing games to understand. It's in these open areas that the new gameplay is allowed to stretch its legs and really show off the power of the PS4 and the talent that Naughty Dog has.
All of it comes together to create an insanely polished, tight, fun, and amazing shooting/exploration experience in the single player mode, but that's not all! Uncharted 4 also features a robust multiplayer, so let's talk about that.
When you first attempt the online multiplayer, the game will have you run through a tutorial that acquaints you with the controls if you haven't tried the single player yet. It also introduces you to the in-game shop where you can buy new weapons, sidekicks, and mystical powers inspired by previous Uncharted titles.
There are several multiplayer modes and challenges you can undertake as well where you fight with A.I characters. All-in-all there's a lot to train yourself with before you take on real people. Once you're ready for that, you'll have a host of characters to choose from, many of which come from other games in the series.
You can choose from deathmatch, a capture mode, and plunder where you have to carry an idol to your base. It's all fun and well designed, with maps that feel big enough, while not being so large that you never see any enemy team mates.
For those who enjoy competitive multiplayer, this has everything you would want, and it feels great as well. Now it's time to talk about how it all looks.
The Best Looking Game Ever Made, Hands Down
Yes, that's what it looks like
Technically, visually, and just objectively, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is the greatest looking video game ever made. Cutscenes and gameplay are both rendered in the same glorious engine. The character models are incredibly lifelike, with detail in the skin, eyes, animation, and just about everything else.
It looks more like a movie than Uncharted ever has, and the game continues to astound with every new area you visit. From tropical locations, to ancient cathedrals, to underground temples, it's all here and then some.
It's one of those things where seeing is believing, but trust me, this is the best looking game I've ever played, and I've played a lot of them. I honestly didn't know the PS4 could pump out graphics like these, it's amazing.
The Final Verdict
As a writer, I'm expected to have words to describe just about anything. Normally, I wouldn't have trouble with said words, but Uncharted 4 is one of the few games that has left me speechless. There are no words to describe the masterpiece of a finale this is for the series.
Do you own a PS4? Yes? Buy this game.
Final Score: 10/10

I did liked the game. However I find it to ease and short. The grafics are amazing but something similar I tasted with the last of us. Puzzles so easy that you don't feel challenge. 8 points of 10


On Thursday 12th June 2015 our Year 6 children were extremely lucky to visit the Marist Centre in Chorlton as a part of their transition to High School Programme. The day was filled with reflections, music, song, prayer, dance and drama and was a fitting way to start their transition work, which will now continue back at school.
Sister Ann lead the children beautifully, allowing them to fully prepare themselves for the next big journey if their life.


I'm going to be up front with you and admit that maybe I, like many people, have a tendency to want to control the world around me in ways that are actually out of my control. This leads to one of the things that I find most difficult about being a parent: letting my kids do things their way. Imagine watching your child do something - maybe homework - where you know a way that could just make this all so much easier for them, if only they would just listen to you. I have this happen to me all the time. And the hardest, but often most useful, thing that I can do in these situations is to be mostly quiet, and let them figure it out, while offering small bits of guidance to help them keep on track.
What?? Yes. Be quiet, or as quiet as you can possibly be, while ensuring their process doesn't go totally off the rails. Really. As a teacher, I have the gift of knowing things that are helpful to me as a parent (even when I don't like them). One of the things I know is that kids need to find their way to efficiency somewhat on their own. They need to learn to do things themselves, and as a parent, I need them to learn to do it themselves. You and I can't do all the work for them - that's not learning. We accept that you, as an adult, are more efficient at solving problems, yes. But you are efficient now because at some point in your past you struggled through something, and found, after repeated attempts, how to do that thing more efficiently, and more accurately. Your kids have to do the same.
If I leave them alone, will they likely work through the issue and figure it out, or are they just going to get further and further bogged down?
Can I offer a suggestion that's in line with their current way of thinking, or only shifts it a little, like gently steering into another lane on the highway, or would my suggestion require a full u-turn?
Is the suggestion I have to offer one that is more about how I prefer to solve problems, or am I actually offering a tool or idea that will be helpful to them in a variety of situations?
The next time you feel yourself getting ready to direct how your child is solving something, take a second and just think about what you're about to offer. See if you can find a way to turn directions into gentle guidance. Both you and your kids will appreciate the results.

Butterfly wings send crucial signals
animal colouring animal communication Arctia plantaginis
By Tanja Heikkinen
Photo Nina Huisman
In	animal colouring, animal communication, Arctia plantaginis,
Black coupled with red, yellow or white… The wings of this butterfly, Arctia plantaginis, cast signals with intense colours. This butterfly has real charm and postdoctoral researcher Ossi Nokelainen is ready to travel even long distances to follow it. The colours of its wings convey information that interests the researchers of animal communication.
Arctia plantaginis is common in the northern hemisphere. Nokelainen has travelled around in search of representatives of this species in Finland, Sweden, Estonia and Georgia. Other members of the research team led by Academy Professor Johanna Mappes have been doing the same in Japan and North America.
Nokelainen has gathered the necessary number of individuals for study purposes from different populations. In the laboratory he uses these samples to measure the wing colours of this butterfly species by means of a camera and a spectrophotometer. In addition, genetic samples are also collected from the individuals, as are samples of the butterfly's defence chemicals.
"Using its striking colours, Arctia plantaginis communicates its defensive capability. It produces defence chemicals which make it taste bad to many predators. In principle, uniform warning colours help protect against predators, as they learn more easily to avoid the familiar colour combination," Nokelainen says.
However, this species does not follow this principle too strictly; the colouring of these butterflies shows considerable geographic variation. For example, in Georgia their primary colour is red, in Scotland yellow, and in Estonia white.
In addition to geographic variation, different colouring can be found within the same population as well. In Finland we have two white male genotypes, and one yellow one while the females have mainly yellow, orange or red wings. The colour morph ratios vary across populations.
Why does the colouring differ?
The reasons for different colouring must be searched for from among a broad range of possible explanations. It is hard to specify a single crucial factor because biological interaction relationships are highly complex. The inherited colour makes a great difference for the butterfly's fate in many respects, Nokelainen explains:
The investigation of butterfly colour variations has taken postdoctoral researcher Ossi Nokelainen to different parts of the world over the last five years to collect samples from various butterfly populations.
"Colouring affects individuals' viability in many ways when they communicate with each other or seek protection against predators. We need to investigate whether the males are better able to find females with certain colours, whether the females favour males with specific colours, and which kind of colouring works best for protection or warning in different conditions.
"In insects, various pigments can also have immunological effects in defending against pathogens. Moreover, colours have an impact on a butterfly's body temperature control and the durability of wings; dark colours are warming and often stronger by their surface structure."
Nokelainen says that along with the advancing climate change lighter, cooler tints may become more common in cold-blooded insects. Accordingly, by means of colour research we can observe factors sustaining genetic diversity and also how animals are adapting to their changing environments.
The investigation of butterfly colours calls for precise measurement methods
The colour of butterfly wings comes from scale-like cells and the pigments therein, which reflect different wavelengths of light.
In a laboratory at the Department of Biological and Environmental Science, University of Jyväskylä, Nokelainen is working at his measuring equipment. He first uses a camera to take pictures of the wings, interprets the colour data yielded by a computer-based analysis of digital images, and classifies the butterflies into respective categories according to colour.
Next, Nokelainen uses a spectrophotometer to examine a wing in order to find out more specifically how it reflects ultraviolet light invisible to the human eye. This is directly associated with colours: dark pigments in the wing absorb light, whereas light ones reflect more of it.
The reflected light serves as a signal to a predator and to another butterfly, but in different ways:
The colours of Arctia plantaginis vary according to, for example, geographic region as well as between males and females.
"Birds can see different red colours very well, whereas Arctia plantaginis sees these colours rather poorly," Nokelainen says. "Thus red and yellow wavelengths are more effective as warning signals to predating birds, whereas lighter colours reflecting shorter wavelengths and UV light work better in communication within the species. Hence, we can study how different populations invest in such communication toward other members of the species or to potential predators and also how related colour combinations are evolving over time."
The final interpretation of the colour signal is in the eye, or actually the brain of the beholder, whether a predator or another butterfly. Colour-sensitive photoreceptors in the retina send a neuro-electric impulse to the brain to interpret.
An animal doesn't always behave according to its assumed vision
As regards the anatomy of animals, researchers already have a good understanding of what animals can see. These findings have been made mostly during the last three decades, and in recent years scientists have added to the research arsenal they can use to model the way the world might look like through an animal's eyes.
There is still much to find out about how animals use their vision, Nokelainen says: "As of yet, we don't fully understand the connection between these two aspects: What animals can see and what they do based on what they see."
"There are examples about animals behaving differently from what we could expect merely within the limits of their vision," Nokelainen says. "For instance, the colouring of some edible butterflies mimic imitates that of bad-tasting butterflies. Interestingly, sometimes this fake signal has been found to differ considerably from the honest colours of the bad-tasting species, but despite this it is still successful in saving the imitator from being caught by a bird. This suggests making a cognitive choice deeper than one based on mere discernibleness."
Ossi Nokelainen's research is part of a project entitled "Endless forms most beautiful – A sensory ecology approach to understand the evolution of aposematic colour polymorphism" which is being conducted at the University of Jyväskylä and funded by the Academy of Finland.

Q: Send random quote with tweet button click in Jquery I am doing a "Random Quote Machine" which takes random quotes from and stored array and let the user tweet it. I have created the random quote generator but not able to tweet the same. Need some help with tweet button.
My Jquery
var quote = new Array()
quote[0] = 'this is first quote'
quote[1] = 'this is second quote'

function tweet() {
window.open('https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?hashtags= freecodecamp&text='   + encodeURIComponent($(".message").html(quote[randomquote]));
}

$(document).ready(function() {
$("#getMessage").on("click", function(){
  var randomquote = Math.floor(Math.random()*(quote.length-1));
  $(".message").html(quote[randomquote]);
});

$('#twitter-share-button').on('click', tweet)

})

Bit of html

Click to get Random Quotes

<button id = "tweetMessage" class = "btn btn-default btn-lg" target="_blank"> Tweet it</button>
<button id = "getMessage" class = "btn btn-default btn-lg"> Get Quote</button>

A:   $('#twitter-share-button').on('click', tweet)

You don't have an element with id="twitter-share-button"
Also don't subtract 1 when getting random. Since you're doing Math.floor and since Math.random never returns exactly 1, it will never hit the upperbound.
Also your randomquote variable is used inside of the tweet function but exists only inside your document.ready block. You need to figure out a way to pass it in. What would make even more sense is to pass in the message itself rather than the index.
Also for text you should use .text(...) instead of .html(...) as that will help with security (look up cross-site-scripting if you are interested).
I see that you're doing freecodecamp. Cool and keep it up!

A: Got it finally.
    var quote = new Array()
    quote[0] = '"There\'s a difference between a philosophy and a bumper sticker."-Charles M. Schulz'

function tweet(message) {
window.open('https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?hashtags= freecodecamp&text='   + encodeURIComponent(message));
}

var msg;
function tweetHandler() {
tweet($(msg).text());

}
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#getMessage").on("click", function(){
var randomquote = Math.floor(Math.random()*(quote.length-1));
msg = quote[randomquote];
$(".message").html(msg);
});

$('#tweetMessage').on('click', tweetHandler);

});

Q: Unknown symbol on schematic (Circle with "M" underlined) I have a symbol on my schematic but I cannot figure out what is this? I looked through the Internet but didn't find anything.

Is this a microphone? If so give me some helpful links to learn something about it.
I have to draw this element and make a pattern for it. So links for pattern would be also great.
The whole circuit looks like this:

A: Well, this picture is a circuit drawn according to Russian standards, so that symbol meaninig is exactly "DC motor".

A: Now you've added the full schematic, that's almost certainly a motor and not a microphone.
The four MOSFETs, VT3, VT4, VT5, and VT6 form an "H-bridge" circuit which is a very common way of driving a motor with bidirectional control.

A: Looks like a motor controller circuit.
Uynp1 and Uynp2 are two H-Bridge controls for direction and stop and the rest of the circuit is a interesting dead time or perhaps a dynamic breaking mode control.
The line under the M is likely an inhouse differentiator.  With an AC motor it might have a ~ (tilde) character under the M instead of the - (dash) for DC motor.

A: MOTOR (in a MOSFET power full bridge)

October Fall fue una banda estadounidense de pop punk de Chicago, Illinois. La banda se formó en el verano de 2003, con Pat D'Andrea (vocales y guitarra) y Clark Harrison (guitarra), como los miembros originales. Ellos dos tocaban juntos originalmente bajo el nombre de Silver Lining. Poco después, el resto de la banda se incorporó: Nick Coleman (batería), Owen Toomey (piano) y Jack Marin (bajo). Nick Coleman fue reemplazado por Nick Scalise (batería), y Jack Marin fue sustituido por Greg Shanahan (bajo).

En 2005, la banda abrió en una gira con Ashlee Simpson, y ese mismo año estuvo de gira con The Click Five. En la primavera de 2006, participaron de una gira con Fall Out Boy y The All-American Rejects en el Black Clouds and Underdogs Tour.

La banda firmó con Decaydance, un sello de Fueled by Ramen encabezado por Pete Wentz (bajista de Fall Out Boy). Su primer y único álbum de estudio, A Season In Hell (llamado en homenaje a la película de Eddie y los Cruceros), fue lanzado en febrero de 2006. Luego, un año después, el 1 de octubre de 2007 la banda anunció que sus miembros se habían ido por caminos separados y la banda se disolvió.

Historia

Primeros años

Pat D' Anfrea reconoció que cuando era niño, siempre había música en su casa, entre los que sonaban Johnny Cash, Tom Petty y Stevie Ray Vaughan, los cuales fueron sus principales influencias, especialmente cuando D'Andrea se transfirió de una escuela secundaria pública a una secundaria privada católica donde se convirtió en un joven temido apodado "New Kid". D'Andrea se sentaba en su habitación a tocar la guitarra y escribir canciones mientras asistía a los musicales de su hermana. D'Andrea conoció en su escuela a su compañero Clark Harrison y los dos comenzaron a tocar juntos y a escribir canciones, formando la banda Silver Lining. El dúo luego cambió su nombre al actual, October Fall, en el año 2003.

Luego de varias presentaciones, October Fall firmó un contrato con Decaydance, un sello discográfico perteneciente al bajista de Fall Out Boy, Pete Wentz. Luego de la firma del contrato, el grupo estuvo de gira con Ashlee Simpson y preparó su álbum de estudio, A Season In Hell.

A Season In Hell (2006)

En el verano de 2005, la banda emigró hacia el oeste para grabar en el estudio The Green Room en Los Ángeles, California con el productor Mike Green (Paramore, Yellowcard, Rufio), pero las canciones que produjeron no fueron las canciones que terminaron formando parte de su álbum de estudio A Season In Hell, el cual contó con las apariciones especiales de Patrick Stump, cantante de Fall Out Boy ("Second Chance") y Hayley Williams, cantante de Paramore ("Keep Dreaming Upside Down")

Posterior a la ruptura (2007)

El 1 de octubre de 2007, la banda anunció que cada uno habían ido por caminos separados. Surgieron rumores que los integrantes de la banda habían vuelto a reunirse, pero se demostraron que los rumores eran falsos.

En el otoño de 2007, Clark Harrison y Nick Foxer (antes en The All-American Rejects) formaron una banda llamada Phonocast, con sede en el sur de California, donde ambos músicos ahora viven.

Pat D'Andrea (ahora llamado por Johnny D'Andrea) formó el grupo Archie Star, en la que comparte la voz principal con su hermana, Ria D'Andrea. La banda lanzó su primer álbum de estudio, titulado Carry Me Home, en noviembre de 2008.

Nick Scalise y Greg Shanahan son ahora parte de la banda Mathletes, que acaba de lanzar un EP autotitulado para descargar gratuitamente desde su página web.

Would charging fees for Instant Offers make Zillow a broker?
Companies like Opendoor and OfferPad hold licenses, but they are direct buyers whereas Zillow is a middleman
by Andrea V. Brambila |
For years, Zillow has promised not to become a real estate broker, and the company says that it still has no plans to do so — Instant Offers doesn't represent buyers or sellers, nor does Zillow hold active broker licenses in Nevada or Florida. But one big question that remains is whether Zillow would need broker's licenses to operate its Instant Offers program legally if it were to begin accepting compensation.
In both of Zillow Instant Offers' test markets, along with several other states, the law indicates that taking part in obtaining purchasers for a sale requires a broker's license, but only if compensation is involved.
Zillow Inc., home of the most popular real estate website nationwide, is testing Zillow Instant Offers, a program allowing homesellers in Orlando, Florida, and Las Vegas to receive all-cash offers from up to five Wall Street investors and compare them side-by-side with a comparative market analysis (CMA) from a Zillow Premier Agent.
For years, Zillow has promised not to become a real estate broker, and the company says that it still has no plans to do so — Instant Offers doesn't represent buyers or sellers, nor does Zillow hold active broker licenses in Nevada or Florida.
But one big question that remains is whether Zillow would need broker's licenses to operate Instant Offers legally if it were to begin accepting compensation.
In Florida and Nevada, a person only qualifies as a broker if he or she collects or anticipates to collect compensation for broker services. (Zillow is not getting paid during the Instant Offers pilot. The company is not currently charging Premier Agents extra to participate in the pilot.)
Zillow declined to say whether it will eventually charge Premier Agents, investors, or sellers for the Instant Offers service. "This is currently just a test and [we] have nothing to share about future plans, including cost," Zillow Group spokeswoman Amanda Woolley told Inman.
'Takes any part in the procuring of sellers'
Does Instant Offers perform some services that could require a broker license, if compensation were involved?
Zillow Instant Offers home page
Under Florida law, a person can qualify as a real estate broker if the person — for another, and "for compensation or valuable consideration" — "takes any part in the procuring of sellers, purchasers" or "directs or assists in the procuring of prospects or in the negotiation or closing of any transaction which does, or is calculated to, result in a sale…"
Nevada law considers a broker to be any person who — for another, and "for compensation or with the intention or expectation of receiving compensation" — "lists or solicits prospective purchasers," among other practices. Other states have similar laws, including California, Texas and New York.
"By testing Zillow Instant Offers, we are providing a technology platform where consumers who are already interested in selling their homes can receive non-binding offers from reputable institutional investors," Woolley said.
"We do not represent or otherwise advise any party in the negotiation, purchase or sale of real property, nor do we hold ourselves out as providing real estate brokerage services."
It will be up to state regulators to decide whether Zillow's Instant Offers complies with real estate license law, though answers from them were not immediately forthcoming.
"We are unable to comment without a formal complaint and supporting documentation as whether or not the activities the individual(s) are performing would require a real estate license," Kathleen Keenan, spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, told Inman via email.
The Real Estate Division of Nevada's Department of Business and Industry said it was "in the process of reviewing and researching" information regarding Zillow Instant Offers and was therefore "unable to provide an estimated time for response."
Robert Butters, former deputy general counsel to the National Association of Realtors and now an attorney at Arnstein & Lehr LLP, offered his own quick take on the program.
"[M]any states include the procurement of 'prospects' for the purchase or sale of real estate to be 'brokerage activity' that requires a license," Butters told Inman via email.
"The fact that Zillow gives its Premier Agents a crack at getting a listing from the 'Instant Offer' sellers, and the Premier Agents presumably are paying Zillow for the right to be a Premier Agent and get the 'prospect' from Zillow through the Instant Offer program could constitute receipt of 'compensation' for the purposes of satisfying the definition of 'real estate brokerage' for which a license is required.
"Of course, each state has its own license law that defines the type of conduct for which a brokerage license is required. But if Zillow rolls this program out on a national basis it would not surprise me in the least if a real estate commission challenges the program.
"Also, Zillow has signed many data license agreements with MLSs in which it promises not to engage in 'real estate brokerage.' Some MLSs could be inclined to terminate these agreements on the grounds that Zillow is in breach of them by reason of the Instant Offer program."
The current NAR legal team declined to comment.
"[B]ased on the information we have we cannot speculate on this. Whether a license is required is ultimately up to the licensing agency and depends on the particular facts," NAR spokeswoman Sara Wiskerchen said via email.
"Whether or not Zillow's latest experiment complies with laws that are intended to protect consumers in the real estate transaction, NAR believes that Realtors are the best professionals to protect their clients' best interests."
The Association of Real Estate License Law Officials (ARELLO) also declined to comment.
Zillow's broker license history
Other companies that offer services similar to Instant Offers, such as Opendoor and OfferPad, hold brokerage licenses. Companies like Opendoor and OfferPad buy property in a similar way but hold title to the property, whereas Zillow is a middleman, connecting prospective sellers to a range of investors who want to buy for-sale housing to flip or rent.
OfferPad is one of the investors on the new Zillow platform; Opendoor is not. OfferPad operates in both Zillow Instant Offers test markets — Las Vegas and Orlando — as well as Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Tampa Bay and Los Angeles.
OfferPad is licensed in Florida. In Nevada, OfferPad is working with Realty 360, which is the brokerage under which OfferPad co-founder Brian Bair holds his real estate salesperson's license.
According to Zillow, the 15 investors that participate in Instant Offers are required to "use brokers licensed in the state in which they are purchasing property. Some investors are licensed themselves and some may engage a third-party broker if they are not licensed (or are not licensed in the market in which they are seeking to purchase a property)."
Zillow previously held a real estate license in Florida, but it expired in September 2009. Zillow Group holds what it calls a "legacy" broker's license in Florida from when it acquired RealEstate.com in 2015 with its purchase of Trulia.
RealEstate.com held broker licenses in dozens of states, usually under the name FastStart Real Estate. FastStart has had a broker's license in Florida since 2005, but Florida's records show that FastStart obtained a new license in Florida in June 2015, four months after the Trulia acquisition.
That license expires in March 2018. Zillow did not respond to a question asking why it obtained that new license.
Zillow held brokerage licenses in a handful of states when it first launched in February 2006 and later obtained licenses in most U.S. states. But Zillow announced it would give up most of those licenses in 2008. Zillow currently holds an active broker's license in Texas.
"We have several broker licenses that we inherited as parts of acquisitions. Many of these have lapsed while a few are still valid. Having said that, we are not participating in the brokerage business — we do not represent buyers or sellers and have no plans to do so." Woolley said in an email.
Zillow did not specifically answer questions regarding why Zillow Inc. — not an acquired company — has an active broker license in Texas or if Zillow has any other real estate broker licenses that weren't part of an acquisition in other states. In 2008, Zillow told Inman it was keeping its broker license in Texas to obtain real estate data for its property valuation estimates (Zestimates) through the company's membership with multiple listing services (MLSs).
Zillow doesn't have to be a broker to be a disrupter
Zillow's Instant Offers pilot has inspired a variety of responses from the real estate industry, including observations that Zillow doesn't need to be a brokerage to have a big impact on agents and their role in real estate transactions.
"Zillow has always claimed it doesn't want to be a brokerage," said Drew Peterson, a North Carolina-based real estate consultant. "It doesn't have to be when it can connect buyers and sellers without the hassle of the legalities of brokerage ownership/licensure.
"Uber disrupted the taxi industry without owning or operating a single taxi. It simply connected people who wanted rides with people who could offer them."
He later clarified: "I don't believe Zillow will become a brokerage. I think they'll claim they are a 'platform' for connecting buyers with sellers, much like Uber and Airbnb are platforms."
Zillow Group's director of industry engagement, Jay Thompson, responded, "We're not collecting fees/compensation, we're not hiring agents, we're not getting brokerage licenses, we're not taking listing agreements, we're not driving buyers around and showing houses, we're not doing anything that agents and brokers do every day to run their business."
He also said that right now, Instant Offers is still "a test," and that it will include agents "for as long as the test runs, and it will continue to include agents if the test is expanded."
Real estate broker and regular Inman contributor Sam DeBord noted that, despite being a "test," transactions through Instant Offers will be happening in the real world and largely under Zillow Group's influence.
"Consumers are given options to work with agents, but some agent-free transactions will occur via Zillow initiation. Offers and transactions are managed in Zillow's transaction management software," DeBord wrote.
"Zillow's not technically becoming a broker with this move, but it's taking on every activity it can that doesn't require a license — smart. Some agents are screaming. Some are yawning. Let's just not pretend that initiating a purchase offer for a buyer, providing the forms for the contract, and directing the services upon which it will be transacted isn't a big shift."

The grounds are absolutely stunning with so many places to get awesome wedding shots, we really were spoilt for choice and had to stop ourselves saying "just some more here guys", tbf Emma & Craig loved it really and the weather was absolutely fantastic!
All around the ground plus inside Rossington Hall wherever you looked I saw a photo oppurtunity, from the grand staircase, piano in the corner not to mention like I said the fabulous grounds (hope to be back here soon). All the staff were really friendly and helpful too especially in the evening when we were looking for somewhere to set up our super wide photobooth backdrop, we settled on the main room (always best in the main room for the most interaction) so thanks to the wedding planner lady for assisting with this!
Loved the red carpet entrance just outside the conservatory type area too and thought this would defo make a great backdrop for some formal shots, plus I had the luxury of a banking for the group shots where I could get some height to capture all the guests smiley faces.
Totally fab day and really do hope to get another wedding at this venue soon!

I'm over at Kind Over Matter with amazing Amanda today. We'd love to have you stop by for a visit.
Enjoy your Tuesday, my friends. As always, I'm so thankful you're here.
Dear Julia, I am so glad this article spoke to you. There is so much more to be said about this - and say it I will! - But the most important thing to say is, yes! - There is absolutely no reason to go on a "diet" and you are right to refuse to do so. Diets never work in the long run and they just aren't inline with the magnificent innate intelligence of our bodies - in fact diets completely fight against our bodies intelligence! The only healthy, loving, and sustainable way to lose weight is simply to come to know yourself and your body even more. We have to feel into our body, mind, and soul to see what we are hungry for physically, spiritually, and emotionally. We cannot ignore our cravings and our emotions, they are our spirits and bodies trying to communicate to us - and they know what they're talking about! : [) So, there is much more to be said, and many more blog posts to write, but it's crucial to start with the knowledge that dieting is never the answer - self-love and self-knowledge are.
Mooji! Just discovered him and love him! So grateful for you and this site, Julia!

What Do Builder's Warranties Cover When Buying a New Home?
Just because you're buying a new home doesn't mean something can't happen shortly after moving in. That's why it's customary for builders to include a home warranty with every new construction purchase, which gives buyers some assurance that they won't be left high and dry in case something goes awry not long after they sign on the dotted line. Warranties also assure homeowners that the builder they're buying from is reputable, reliable, and willing to stand behind their product.
But just because you get a warranty on your home purchase doesn't mean everything under the sun will be covered. As a buyer of new home construction, you'd be well advised to do a little bit of homework on exactly what the builder's warranty covers, and what it doesn't.
Generally speaking, the majority of builder warranties cover material and work done by construction workers and contractors on a new house for anywhere between one to 10 years.
What if the Builder Goes Under?
New home warranties may sound great, and they can be, but they can be completely useless if the builder you buy from eventually experiences serious financial troubles or goes belly up altogether. If that happens, the warranty you were given could wind up being completely useless.
That said, if the warranty is issued by a third-party insurance company, then buyers have little to worry about. In fact, it might even be better for buyers if the builder's home warranty is issued and dealt with by a third party. In addition to the fact that you'll be covered in case the builder goes under, third-party warranties are cheaper. That's because the risk can be spread across hundreds or even thousands of homes. There's also no need for third-party issuers to underwrite, issue, and maintain records of warranties and pay staff to handle such documents, saving even more money.
What do I need to do in order to make a claim?
You might even want to check with the contractor licensing board in California to ensure that the builder you are buying from is providing you with all warranties that are required by law in the state.
Every builder should provide buyers with a comprehensive warranty that covers various components of the structure. Even though the home is new, that doesn't mean there won't be any unforeseen issues that could creep up shortly after you take possession. This is a big investment, and as such, it makes sense to take a little bit of time to find out what type of warranty your builder offers and whether or not it is being provided by a third-party provider.

Thanks for posting the latest and greatest but I have to say this is such a farse. The affidavit in Lieu of LCM:
"This certification affirms that there are no legal impediments to the foreigner marrying a Filipino (i.e, that the foreigner is already married to someone else)."
It in no way confirms anything except that the applicant has sworn that he is not married and legally able to marry. That's it. Perhaps you've been married a dozen times, just go in there and tell them you're single and were never married and they have no way to prove otherwise. And to be honest, just telling them that will save hassles down the road, IE the CFO nazi nuns. The document isn't worth the paper it's printed on but costs $50.

"Perhaps you've been married a dozen times, just go in there and tell them you're single and were never married and they have no way to prove otherwise. And to be honest, just telling them that will save hassles down the road, IE the CFO nazi nuns."
You seem to be saying that it is better to not mention that you have been divorced and show them the proof thereof. I don't understand why it will be easier.
And who are the CFO nazi nuns?
If you have been married before, but have had that marriage dissolved, you will have to show proof of said dissolution (divorce papers). If you have not been married before, there are no divorce papers to have to show.
Until sometime in 2004 or 2005, the CFO would give the seminars. After that time, they began letting local nuns run the seminars. I recall one nun whom we had to deal with (my former wife and I used to help others marry here, through a business) that I simply wanted to choke the living shit out of, because she always made things so difficult for the girls attending the seminars. That is the reason for him calling them "nazi nuns".

Thanks for explaining the second part. The first part I already knew. My point about it was that he was saying to NOT reveal this info -and I am asking why he is saying this.

I know. And I was trying to get the topic back in a legal tone, because it is illegal for you to not show your appropriate documents if you have been divorced in the US.
Years ago, hell, probably even until today, guys come over here who are still married in the US (and possibly other countries too), and marry a Filipina. I have known a number of American guys over the years, who chose to remain in the Philippines for the rest of their lives, who did that same thing. I don't know where they may be now, but I would not wish to be in their shoes if they ever went back to the US for any reason.

Laziness? Don't want to bother with tracking down official copies of past dissolutions of marriage(s)?
