Photography and Stereo Vision (Rediscover)
Michael Alford
Why Aren't We Talking About It All The Time?
For years I have been fascinated with how the human eye perceives depth, and particularly with how this relates to the two-dimensional photographic image. Many is the time I have come across a fascinating scene, full of nearby objects in interesting relationships, or perhaps a view of a city plaza, only to find that the photos I snap look like nothing much when I get home. There is an unbridgeable gap between how the brain combines the images coming from two eyes, and how that perception can be approximated in a flat print. This gap is intriguing and frustrating.
For some reason, I've never seen this issue discussed in the photography community—on the web, in books, anywhere.
The interesting thing is that we are basically happy with 2D images. Ever since people figured out how to create full 3D stereo images using photography, the result has never been much more than a curiosity. There were stereopticons in the 19thcentury, View-Masters starting around 1940 (we've all had them as kids), 3D movies starting in the 50s. 3D TVs were hyped like mad a few years ago, and then just went away. You can still buy stereo cameras, though mainly on eBay, not in stores. (Notice that they aren't expensive. If enthusiasts cared, they'd be expensive.)
3D imaging has been mostly a novelty and a gimmick. Why, when it's our most immediate way to perceive space?
Yes, it's neat seeing a movie in 3D, but look at the titles – action pictures, animations, special effects blockbusters. Niche. Kids and teens. We should make an exception for Pixar, though. The 3D versions of their animations are truly amazing: "Up" is my favorite. Pixar must be manipulating the apparent interocular distance to create exaggerations selectively. All exciting, never overdone, just wonderful.
So why are we happy with 2D images? I think it is mainly because we've achieved such a high degree of visual literacy, absorbing all the ways that depth can be conveyed without stereo vision. Yet it's clearly also because stereo photography is awkward and inconvenient, so much so that we haven't been able to pursue stereo photography as art. Artists who are preoccupied with the direct experience of space become sculptors.
Here are some thoughts on what the issues are, and how we might use an awareness of this special realm of perception to improve our art.
The most dramatic breakthrough in the depiction of depth in two-dimensional art has to be perspective. The Chinese, Japanese, Greeks and Romans used it in simplified form, as oblique or isometric perspective, but they did not understand the concept of a vanishing point (or points). They recognized that objects get smaller the farther away they are, at that angled lines have something to do with it. Usually, they drew the edges of shapes as parallel. Medieval painting in Europe was similar.
Early attempts at perspective were not visually accurate or particularly convincing, at least to the modern eye
True perspective as we know it now was invented, or discovered, by Filippo Brunelleschi (1377-1446) in the earliest years of the Renaissance. He painted the outlines of buildings into a mirror, discovering that the lines all converged on the horizon. Our cameras, of course, do this automatically, by the nature of how a lens works.
Here is one of the classic early perspective painting—one certainly familiar to art history students.
An example of visually accurate perspective from the early Renaissance—basically a technical demonstration
It's an imaginary place, probably painted by Luciano Laurana, from the late 1400s. It combines real buildings from around Italy, all done in meticulous one-point perspective (there is only one vanishing point).
So—what happens when the painter begins to place human figures in the landscape? Here's another classic image, this one by Pietro Perugino in 1481.
Another accurate use of perspective, but note that there is basically no middle ground: just foreground and background.
He puts all the main figures right up front and spreads some small figures around in the far background. This is like simple augmented reality apps working on a smartphone: you project a lion into your living room and it shows up at an appropriate size for the distance, but it still looks like it's just hovering there, not really part of the scene.
Perspective all by itself goes a long way to creating depth, but it falls short of realism.
Painters after the Renaissance struggled to fill up the middle ground of paintings in a convincing way, but they had a hard time. This picture by Il Padovano from 1621 isn't all that much more effective than Perugino's. There's an empty gap between the foreground and the background. Even with accurate perspective, it somehow seems unrealistic.
Even more than a century later, the middle ground still is missing. Pure perspective can't seem to fill it up.
Notice one thing about most of these pictures: there is basically no lighting the perspective areas. Just lines and planes.
Light and Contour
The next way the brain perceives space is through light, shading and contour. To put something convincing in the middle distance, you have to do it with shading and light. To me, this is shown by this breakthrough building by Bramante in Rome, built in 1502, about 100 years after Brunelleschi discovered perspective. Called the Tempietto, it's a small structure in a tiny courtyard, but it fills up the middle distance like an elephant would: it's all roundness and shadow, unlike most of the buildings that Renaissance architects were designing up to that time. In photographs, it looks far bigger than it is. Notice at the building to the right—it's much like the grey building in Il Padovano's picture behind the Cardinal. It doesn't convey depth and presence, but the Tempietto next to it really does.
The problem of filling the middle ground gets solved not by perspective, but by light and shade.
And, as you can see clearly because this is a photograph, our cameras have no more trouble rendering light and shadow than they do perspective.
Before we get to stereo, there are several other ways the brain can perceive depth from a 2D image.
Color and Atmosphere
Because higher frequency light (blue) is bent more by a lens than lower frequency light (red), the two colors come into focus at different distances from the lens, called chromatic dispersion. Most people see one color in front of the other. Some see the red in front, others the blue, so this effect isn't clear-cut. The field of chromostereopsis is complex, and at least from what I read, doesn't create consistent effects.
In painting, however, the blue of the sky and the tendency of far-away objects to blend with the atmosphere has at least created a convention of cool colors signifying depth. Look at the mountains in Perugino's picture, or the famous Washington Crossing the Delaware (Emmanuel Gottlieb Leutze, 1851).
Distance is often rendered using cool colors, as here, but Leutze uses a full range of depth cues
This picture has it all: perspective, shading, atmosphere and color cues (red near, blue far) creating a very convincing imitation of depth.
Our eyes do need to focus, but their focal length is short (about 15-21mm), so they have a lot of depth of field. And they are constantly darting around a scene, from near objects to far, refocusing as needed. As a result, focus isn't much of a factor to us in perceiving depth, except that it subconsciously provides a cue. We can tell when our eyes are focusing up close because the muscles around the lens have to contract. When you thread a needle, you really notice the effort, but apparently, the muscular effort involved in focusing acts as a subconscious depth cue even at moderate distances.
But things are different in photography. We go to special lengths (and great expense) to create bokeh as a deliberate effect. From a lifetime of watching movies and seeing photographs, we have learned that focus is a tip-off to distance and space, such as in this picture of a baboon beset by antelopes by my friend Kirk Hamilton.
Photography and movies have taught us to interpret focus and blur as depth: the eye refocuses and moves too fast to notice it
Back to stereo vision
So where does stereopsis (true stereo vision) come in? It's the only way we perceive depth that we can't illustrate on a page. It exists only in the brain and in the moment. Close one eye and it goes away. Do we dream in 3D? I don't know, but I guess I doubt it. The mind's eye seems to be singular.
Surprisingly, it's hard to find much literature on this subject. You can view one useful article here. It's the only one I could find that discusses in detail how far away stereo vision works. Years ago, I came across a reference that said the limit is about 600 feet. This article estimates 248 meters (813 feet), which I would agree with. I think it's more than 600 feet just by walking around and looking at things. The same article says that "good stereoscopic observers are capable of detecting depth differences corresponding to binocular disparities of only a few seconds of arc… we can calculate that the maximum useful range of stereopsis should exceed 1 km." (My emphasis. Wow!)
The interesting thing is that the common wisdom, again quoting from this article, was that we are "effectively one-eyed for distances greater than about twenty feet." Clearly, that isn't true, but it's the distance at which stereo is really obvious.
I think I am lucky enough to be one of those "good stereoscopic observers," because I'm always aware of it when I'm in certain types of settings. Different people are sensitive to stereo vision to different degrees. Some apparently do not perceive it at all, even though their eyes are OK. It is said Rembrandt may have had no stereo perception.
In my experience, stereo vision is confusing in different ways when the scene is nearby (less than 20 feet) and when it is far off.
Nearby scenes:
These are the scenes when you, as a photographer, see multiple objects close up with strong 3D, only to be really disappointed with the results back in Lightroom. I think this happens especially when 3D is the primary depth cue, and the other cues (perspective, color, atmosphere, shading) are weak.
Take a bunch of bicycles parked at odd angles on the street in bright light. Or look up at the branches of a tree from below. Our eyes are operating at maybe f/11 in bright light. For a 17mm lens, f/11 means that, basically, everything is always in focus. Perspective is missing too. We don't see perspective because the bicycles or tree branches are at all angles, and certainly not lined up to a vanishing point. And there is no atmospheric effect. Our sense of depth when we click the shutter is strong, yet the result is blah – maybe a good photo, but it won't capture what we experienced.
Far away scenes:
To me, this is where things really get interesting. Looking across the Grand Canyon, way beyond 1 kilometer, we are basically looking at a painting. Close one eye, no difference. But within 1km (optimistically), and especially within 800 feet, 3D vision really adds something. It's subtle but very real.
I make a mental habit of collecting environments like these. The Pyramid at the center of the Louvre in Paris views across the Seine, the square in front of the palace at Avignon, Times Square, walking across the George Washington Bridge. Night lighting seems to accentuate their fascinating spatial presence.
The Louvre courtyard is one of those exciting spaces where lots of 3D interest occurs at the eye's stereo limit
In this picture of the Louvre, all the visual action is happening near the limits of 3D, and there is lots of sculptural depth and detail on the buildings. There is nothing much happening in the near or medium space (it looks like the Perugino from the 15thcentury). You aren't confused by the strong stereo depth you would see close by. What you see seems two dimensional, but there is much more going on. Something subtle, but close one eye and it isn't there.
The lesson here is a little hard to pin down. Does the perception of 3D really change the way we take pictures in 2D? I think it does. If we are aware that our interest in a scene is going to be hard to render because of this effect, we can consciously use the other methods available to try to convey the same thing. Perspective, color, atmosphere, shading and focus.
Look at the pictures of Fan Ho, who died recently. His work with perspective and atmospheric depth is beautiful. Ted Forbes' tribute is wonderful. He also posts some of Fan's work on Pinterest here. This collection does exactly what I'm suggesting. It conveys an instinctive and emotional sense of space by strong use of perspective, light and atmospherics. It's almost like seeing with two eyes.
I am very interested in getting readers' reactions. Have you felt the same confusion and frustration about why certain scenes don't work out? Have you collected your own favorite locations for far-3D perception? Do you have ideas about how technology might advance our ability to directly record space in an artistic way? Please share.

The Black Panther movement reincarnated.
"Black Lives Matter." At first blush, it seems difficult to imagine anyone taking issue with the obvious, self-evident truth articulated by those three simple words. But when we peel away the veneer of deception, we find that Black Lives Matter (BLM) is in fact one of the most destructive, hateful, racist movements in living memory. Founded by a core group of revolutionaries who detest the United States and revere the nation's most devoted radical enemies, BLM is, at its essence, an ideological reincarnation of the Black Panther movement that flourished in the Sixties.
The lead founder of BLM is Alicia Garza, a young woman who candidly reveres Assata Shakur—the Marxist revolutionary, former Black Panther, and convicted cop-killer whose 1979 escape to Fidel Castro's Cuba was facilitated by the Weather Underground Organization and the Black Liberation Army. Others whom Garza praises for their "extraordinary" accomplishments include Angela Davis (a Marxist and former Black Panther); Ella Baker (an avowed socialist who had ties to the Communist Party USA and the Weather Underground); and Audre Lorde (a black Marxist lesbian feminist).
"Black Lives Matter"? You bet. Other lives? Screw you.
Another of BLM's co-founders, Patrisse Cullors, is a self-identified "freedom fighter" who advocates dramatically "reducing the law-enforcement budget" and forcing some police departments to be entirely "disbanded or abolished." "With a reduction of law-enforcement money," says Cullors, "we can then be putting it back into Black communities"—i.e., government-funded programs that provide "black folks" with "jobs," "housing," and "healthy food." In other words, a Marxist paradise filled with dutiful slaves who are entirely dependent upon Washington.
The third and final co-founder of BLM, Opal Tometi, is a "Black feminist writer" and "cultural organizer" who contends that "the racist structures that have long oppressed Black people" perpetuate a "cycle of oppression" that "allows law enforcement to kill Black people at nearly the same rate as Jim Crow lynchings" once occurred in the Old South.
To improve the allegedly abysmal condition of blacks in the United States, BLM has issued a series of non-negotiable demands. These include: (a) "an immediate end to police brutality"; (b) "full, living-wage employment for our people"; (c) "decent housing"; (d) "freedom from mass incarceration"; (e) "a public education system that teaches the rich history of Black people"; and (f) "the release of all U.S. political prisoners." Most of these demands are modeled, sometimes word-for-word, on those that were articulated by the Black Panthers in the 1960s.
Have you noticed that the supporters of BLM are able to recite the names of their sainted martyrs—Trayvon Martin, Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, Tamir Rice, Timothy Russell, Malissa Williams, etc.—as easily you can name the members of your own immediate family? Notably, however, they can't name any of the 6,000 black Americans whose lives are snuffed out each year by black killers. Those unfortunate, anonymous souls, you see, aren't worth a damn to the BLM crowd, because their deaths can't be exploited to gin up hatred against white cops, or to spark race riots in the streets. So while the names and likenesses of Trayvon, Eric, Michael, Freddie, and the rest are emblazoned on t-shirts, hoodies, and banners bearing the "Black Lives Matter" slogan, BLM views victims of black crime—whatever the race of those victims—as worthy of adorning nothing more than a roll of toilet paper.
"Black Lives Matter" is a misnomer. A more accurate name would be "Black Lives Matter if They're Terminated by a White Person or a Cop; All Other Black Lives Can Go to Hell." It doesn't roll quite so easily off the tongue, but it's exactly what BLM believes.


Discussion in 'Operating Systems' started by EdKiefer, Oct 17, 2018.
I just happen to come across this review and found it interesting.
No mention about meltdown and spectre if both or all OS had microcode loaded that I could find.
All tests are performed in up to date installations. That means meltdown/spectre patches are enabled on all OSes.
While interesting, those comparisons are ultimately useless unless you're looking for the best performing Linux distro. Even then, it's possible that the benchmark results won't be indicative of real world performance.
That's a pleasant opinion. Seems like a very reasonable statement. Thanks for taking the time to share.
I guess Michael can just quit now.
I only posted the link cause I thought some here might be interested, I only run windows so not really big thing, but I rarely come across BM like this.
The usefulness of direct comparisons between operating systems is dependent on the desired functionality of the operating systems involved. For most of us, the comparisons made in the linked article are useless. If you rely on software that performs the same operations as the benchmarks used, it's possible that the comparisons are valid. However, the benchmark results may not always be indicative of which distro actually performs the operations faster due to the code used.
Personally, I prefer Ubuntu over Windows. Unfortunately, Ubuntu lacks functionality that I require. If I performed the operations used in those benchmarks on a regular basis, I'd be running Clear Linux instead of Windows. So, while the article was an interesting read, for me (and most others here) the benchmark results and thus, the comparison, are useless. Doesn't change the fact that it was a well written article, presents the data in a very clear manor and provides data that may be useless to those that actually need such data. It's just useless to gamers and people like me that don't use their system for such tasks.
The Phoronix OS benches have a long history. They are re-done every couple months. People have several uses for them. One of them includes tracking how the distros change over time in terms of perf. They happen to be a source of useful information by the distro developers, just like the kernel developers look at the kernel benches to see if there's unintended perf regressions.
Another use is simply informing the public whether or not Linux runs games better or not. When a Random J. Nobody claims that, generally, Windows games run faster than Linux games, you don't have to take their word for it. You can just look at these benches. When another Random Nobody says Linux is faster at server related workloads (databases, HTTP, etc.), you also don't need to take their word for it, you need some proof.
These benches are useful, just like any other bench out there. When you say that a 1080 Ti is faster than a Vega 64 in the vast majority of games, I don't want to just take your word for it. I need some proof. I'm gonna look at benches.

The Key Differences between Python and Java
by Tom Fogden
June 3, 2019 - Updated on October 20, 2021
For many years, Python and Java have been one of the most commonly used general purpose programming languages, though Java is considered more popular than Python according to TIOBE Programming Community Index. Nowadays, developers use Python and Java for developing a variety of web and desktop applications. Both Python and Java are the most common languages for data science and machine learning.
Python is the only programming language that was designed to emphasize code readability, while Java's design with the aim of enabling developers to build applications with least implementation dependencies. Additionally, Java is one of the only two official Android programming languages. Hence, the debate of Python vs Java has always been in developers' cycles.
Nature of Programming Language
Paradigm Support
Code Readability
Performance and Speed
DevOps and Agile
Ease of Learning
Python and Java are both high-level programming languages. However, Python is an interpreted programming language, meaning that developers require specific Python interpreters to execute the code. On the other hand, Java is a compiled programming language, which means Java code is compiled initially into bytecode that can run on any execution platform. The developers can also sort the code from one platform to another easily.
Both Python and Java support a variety of regularly used programming paradigms. Python also supports imperative, procedural and functional programming paradigms in addition to being an object-oriented language. Originally, Java was also an object-oriented, class-based and concurrent programming language, but it has evolved over the years. For example, Java 8 introduced the concept of first-class citizens to refer to functions while at the same time, still supporting important programming concepts such as lambda expressions.
Python was designed to emphasize on code readability unlike Java, and it even allows developers to keep the code base short, clean and readable. For this reason, a lot of programmers prefer Python over other programming languages. With Java, each update comes with sets of new features to enable developers to simplify their workflow. Taking Java 9 as an example, this version came with features that help accelerate software development by structuring applications with modules. Each module is then designed as a reusable group of code. But unlike Python, programmers have to put extra work to ensure the Java code is clean and workable.
Whereas both languages lack the ideal speed needed for high-performance computing, Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is used to speed up the execution of code via just-in-time compilation (JIT). JIT compiles quickly the Java bytecode to native machine code. Additionally, by supporting concurrency, Java makes applications load faster. Furthermore, Java also takes advantage of hashing or hashmap java, whereby the data is stored in key-value pairs, allowing it to be accessed more easily. However, that is not to say that their programs cannot be accelerated in fact, there are numerous programming language cross-overs that can help Python developers to accelerate their code execution. For example, programmers can use Cython, to compile code to C or C++ code, or Jython to compile code to Java code or bytecode. These implementations help developers to manage the execution of Python software applications.
Python has a large and comprehensive standard library that lift the burden off developers. Programmers can write a wide range of applications with the help of the standard library, as well as complete several software development projects. There are over 130,000 packages that developers can select, including database, web frameworks, graphical user interface, multimedia, testing frameworks, text processing, system administration, image processing, image processing, and scientific computing. On the other hand, Java also has a large collection of libraries that developers can choose from, like integration and user interface libraries. In this category, Python by far, scores over Java.
Currently, Java is one of the two Android official programming languages, thus a large percentage of programmers uses Java to build mobile applications and games for the Android operating system. When it comes to Python language, developers can still build mobile applications but by using Python libraries such as Kivy. Even so, they will have to put in more efforts to ensure the applications built on Python provide an optimal user experience.
Python is the preferred programming language for big data, scientific computing, and artificial intelligence projects. Additionally, it is the most preferred language for data science and machine learning. In this category, although Python is the most preferred language, some machine learning scientist usually prefers Java when working on projects inclined to cyber-attack prevention, network security and fraud detection.
Both Python and Java allow for the adoption of new project management systems like DevOps and agile. Python features dynamic type system that enables programmers to automate refactoring, while Java features a static type system. Python allows developers to experiment with different ideas which are easy and expressive syntax rules.
A study shows that Python is easy to learn for beginners than Java. With its simple and expressive syntax rules, it is easier for beginners to write software applications on Python as compared to Java. Java, on the other hand, requires extra effort to keep code clean and readable, something that can be troubling for beginners. Despite this, many learners still prefer Java to Python because of Android mobile applications.
Both Python and Java are popular and robust programming languages, which have been used successfully for machine learning, artificial intelligence, and data science. Hence, it is natural for the Python vs. Java debate to be discussed by developers to identify the specific needs of every software development task.

Google Maps today updated its iOS and Android apps with a listing feature that lets users save and add their favorite locations to customized lists, which they can subsequently share to friends and family. Once a list is created, users can also follow other people's lists for inspiration when visiting new cities.
To add a location into a list, navigate to it in the Google Maps app and tap the "Save" button to choose from a collection of pre-set lists, or users can create their own custom lists. In the left-handed menu on the app, "Your Places" will hold all of the lists saved in Google Maps and also includes share cards to send to friends via text, email, or social networks. When opened inside of Google Maps, users can then choose to follow a shared list so it's always saved within their own "Your Places" tab.
Lists will be made available to view offline, so if users download the data for an area prior to visiting, they can continue to use both the GPS and list features of Google Maps even without an internet or cellular connection. The update will be rolling out to users on iOS and Android throughout the day.
Google Maps is available for free on the App Store.

Worldwide there are only two species in genus Oxyria. The other one, O. sinensis grows in the Himalaya mountains. On the coast of Norway, mountain sorrel pollen has been found in soil layers up to 12,600 years old. Thus, it must have been among the very first plants to follow the retreating ice age glaciers. Another interpretation is that the species survived through the ice age in small areas uncovered by ice.
Mountain sorrel is an edible perennial of the middle part of the alpine tundra zone. Its leaves are acid-tasting and rich in vitamin C. Therefore, they are a popular vegetable among Lapps and Inuits. But it can be dangerous if eaten too much. Oxyria comes from Greek (oxys and aria) meaning acid-tasting. Mountain sorrel is most abundant on nitrogen-rich soil as it can utilise the nitrates in e.g. bird excrement when producing amino acids.


Florida.. aka closest beach I've seen for such a long time!
AHHHH can I even type how happy I was to end up on a beach! I have been traveling to the cold or somewhere in Europe and honestly, I haven't been to a beachside since my honeymoon!!! DID YOU HEAR THAT! My Honeymoon!! That is months ago!!! So Running to Florida was so nice and need more beaches in my life need to get here ASAP.
I have linked all the summer gear I have snagged for my next few warm destinations!
The post Florida.. aka closest beach I've seen for such a long time! appeared first on Styled Avenue.


Colour, sunlight, texture, the stunningly beautiful shawls of textile designer Catherine Berka, seated on the left amidst her wool felted 'family' describing the artistic process to my family friend, artist/sculptor Pixie Shaw. I'm taking the photo) I met Catherine for the first time last year at the Upper Canada College holiday market in Toronto, an annual fundraiser for the school where she and I were both vendors. Catherine's exhibit was across from mine. Our first point of conversation was admiring each others work and then there was a discussion on wooden toggle buttons. Call it show small talk. She uses wooden buttons on her textile pieces and I as a casual fob closure on the BBB. We both agreed sourcing them from China was absurd even embarassing! Oh if we only knew someone who was an avid stick/button collector and we could make our own with a bit of ingenuity. With that Catherine said y'know I should ask my neighbour, we often meet, I walking our dog in the ravine and she, an artist collecting interesting shaped branches wood. I did not miss a beat and promptly chirped with a rhetorical raised eyebrow: Pixie???? I had no idea she was Catherine's neighbour. Talk about it's a small world story ..... Catherine said why yes! So thanks to Pixie and the search for buttons we have all met. And Pixie like myself, has had the wonderful experience of seeing Catherine's beautiful work.
Catherine's tradename is Nili slow thread - nili is Persian for purple and slow thread attests to the artisinal nature of each piece. She is currently betwixt and between her own studio space in Toronto, so I included some her work at my recent May Day sale at my lakehome last month which was a great success.. I also invited Catherine to show some of her Nili slow thread shawls on our BBB website as a guest Bespoke designer. Deciding which colours to show was near impossible.
Mostly a whole lot fun viewing and choosing the colours for our BBBespoke collection featuring her shawls.
So a great way to welcome the summer with our Mini is Back sale and I would have to say the shawl is back too!


No award availability for Tahiti until EOS?
Tried all four properties and nothing available at all for next year. Glitch, weekend maintenance?
Mods, please move if existing thread.
They only post 4 months in advance. When are you looking to go?
Thanks for your response. If correct, then that must be Tahiti specific although I never ever had that problem before. But admittedly I did see availability today as far out as December in some Tahiti properties. Maybe there is something to it. On the other hand I can book Maldives and other properties as far out as August 2019.
Tahiti/FP IHG hotels were 12 months in the past. Around Oct/Nov last year they pulled all award space from inventory. Soon after IHG, as a whole, reworked the points value on many hotels. When award space for FP came back in early 2018 they only released it four months out.
Fortunately, the change the in the IHG CC free night should help this issue in the long run, but probably won't fix it completely. There were way too many couples both signing up for the card just to use it at places like this.
I didn't know that. That's unfortunate. Can't plan within a four month window. And since the Hilton Moorea is priced outrageously on top of that and award are extremely rare, my options are pretty lousy.
Look at IHG Moorea. We just stayed at Hilton and would never go back. But been to IHG a couple times and really love it there. Award space is usually pretty wide open. You are still stuck with the 4 month issue, but have always found space available.
are itching to get back. Thanks for your help.

Q: Database table design for ordered tree list I need to create MySQL tables that represent a tree structure like this:
Root
|- Chapter 1
|     |- Chapter 1.1
|     |    |- Article 1.1.1
|     |    |- Article 1.1.2
|     |- Article 1.2
|     |- Chapter 1.3
|          |- Chapter 1.3.1
|          |      |- Article 1.3.1.1
|          |      |- Article 1.3.1.2
|          |- Article 1.3.2
|          |- Article 1.3.3
|- Chapter 2
      |-Chapter 2.1
      |     |- ...
      |- Chapter 2.2
      |- ...

Simply speaking, there are two types of entity: Chapter and Article. Article is the smallest entity that there is no child under it, while Chapter can contains sub-chapter or articles as children entity. Each entity will have an ID and a Name.
The order of children has no set rule, it can be Chapter, then Article, then Chapter again.
Another challenge is, when a chapter is re-positioned from one chapter to another chapter, all the children should also be re-positioned accordingly. For example, when I move chapter 1.3.1 to under chapter 1.1 (so chapter 1.3.1 becomes chapter 1.1.3), then the article 1.3.1.1 and article 1.3.1.2 should also be moved and become  article 1.1.3.1 and article 1.1.3.2. And at the same time Article 1.3.2 and Article 1.3.3 will become Article 1.3.1 and Article 1.3.2 respectively.
So what I'm asking is, how to design the database table so as to present these relationships? And how the SQL will looks like for adding new element / deleting element and re-positioning the elements? (I can use Ajax to handle the re-positioning interaction, and use PHP to generate those hierarchy numbering)
Also, as the tree is generally quite long, I wish to avoid updating of all elements just because only one element is repositioned. (Not sure if this wish is technically possible.)

A: The best information I have found on representing tree structures in a database is in Joe Celko's Trees and Hierarchies in SQL for Smarties.
You can probably find enough information on the web but I'd recommend getting the book, I found it very useful when implementing a nested set hierarchy.
You can either use an adjacency list or nested sets to model the tree in the database, I'm assuming you are using an adjacency list (where each entry has a parent attribute)
If you want to be able to move entire sub trees from one parent to anther then it should be as easy as changing the parent_id (or whatever PK you are using) to reference the new parent. A nested set model requires changes to all the nodes when a sub tree is moved.
However, other operations are easier on a nested set, such as selecting all the child nodes under a specific parent. This can be more difficult with the adjacency list model but it has become easier with the advent of recursive CTE.
If you are not worried about the order of the content I would avoid storing the chapter numbers with your data. Apply them when you select the data and then you avoid having to update every node when your tree changes.

Since its inception in 1996, the accelerated BSHSM - MHA program has recognized the potential of undergraduate students to do graduate-level work. High-performing students obtain an intensive, interdisciplinary education that leads to careers improving the health of individuals and communities.
The MHA program offers the opportunity to receive early admission to undergraduate students who have maintained a 3.5 cumulative GPA. Students accepted into the accelerated program will earn two degrees in five years by completing the first year of graduate courses during their undergraduate senior year.
The accelerated master's program is a highly competitive opportunity for outstanding health administration students.
Students who are interested in applying should contact Leah Jansen, lwissel@iu.edu, for academic advising, student services, or application questions prior to starting the application process.
Students who meet the GRE scores are not guaranteed admission. Other factors that will be considered include references, work experience, and the personal statement.
Up to a total of 24 credit hours of the first 27 credits completed in the MHA program may be applied to both the BSHSM and MHA degrees.
Students must be enrolled as a graduate student during the last 24 credit hours of the BSHSM program.
During the accelerated period (when courses taken count towards both graduate and undergraduate degrees) students must maintain at least a B (3.0 GPA) each semester to remain in good standing.
It is expected that students will complete the requirements for the appropriate BS degree in an expeditious manner.

Musical 'Oliver!' opens this week at the Cascade Theatre.
Musical 'Oliver!' opens at the Cascade Theatre.
Charles Dickens was a literary giant and his 17th-century works, including the perennial powerhouse "Oliver Twist," continue to be celebrated for their keen observation of society and human character.
Eilyne Tracy, who is directing the Cascade Theatre's spring musical, "Oliver!," has found herself transported deep into Dickens' murky world of Victorian-era England and the cobblestone streets of foggy ol' London — and she couldn't be happier.
Dickens certainly didn't sugarcoat the realities facing orphans in London of the 1830s, but he did not throw a cloak over any chance for hope and happiness, Tracy discovered. "This story reflects courage, determination and believing in the impossible. And there's a theme of love running throughout," she said.
The leap from being an ape in the youth ensemble in "Tarzan" to taking on one of the lead roles in "Oliver!" has been life changing, Ben said. "I've never gotten this much experience and I never got to act so much, and I'm learning so much," he said, while adding that he's been impressed with the work turned in by the actors in the other principal roles, including Kirschman as Fagin, Becky Moseley as Nancy and Louie Licon as the Artful Dodger.
The always dependable Josh Wright has been cast as Bill Sikes, the hardened criminal, but he has to be careful he isn't upstaged by Mordecai, the bull terrier who fills the role of Sikes' four-legged companion, Bullseye.
"We have a great dog," Tracy said. "He's in two big scenes. He's really bonded with Josh, which is awesome." Mordecai, who faithfully attends each rehearsal, enjoys the theater lifestyle, but that could be attributed to the fact that his owner, Deonn Arquiette, packs a treat for him each night.


As this blog has a global audience, I didn't even think twice about posting a winter wedding in the middle of May, especially one that has tons of creative inspiration like this one! Rita and Jeff are big travelers so they centered their wedding around that theme and came up with some really cool DIYed travel-themed elements like passport invites, safety card programs & an airplane painting fingerprint poster. They're also big on personalization so they wrote the entire ceremony themselves which involved "tying a knot" literally — a nod to how they met at boy scout camp.
Rita and Jeff have been personal favorites since they took me out for hot dogs before their Rockport engagement session and I don't think I could have asked for a better couple to kick off my 2013 with. Personal favorite moments of the wedding were their knot tying ceremony that related back to how they first met at summer camp, Rita getting into her wedding dress, then changing into a shark onsie so she can relax a bit before the ceremony, and of course the look on Jeff's face after Rita rubbed his head right before the ceremony. It was a blast of a wedding and I am super happy to share it with you!
I'm happy to say that the lovely couple is here to tell us more about how they met + how they made their wedding truly their own. Over to you, Rita and Jeff!
We met (originally) when we worked at a Boy Scout Camp in the early 2000's. We reconnected later over Facebook and friendship turned into dating without us even realizing it. We spend every chance we get exploring or traveling.
The only thing Jeff and I cared about at our wedding was that we married each other and that everyone had a good time. We wrote our own vows, the entire ceremony, and even custom picked all of our ceremony music (including skipping the traditional 'Here Comes the Bride' in favor of The Scorpions 'Rock You Like a Hurricane' and Elvis Presley's 'Can't Help Falling in Love').
A highlight of the ceremony was when we 'tied the knot' — having met at a Boy Scout camp, this was a surprise part of our ceremony designed to pay homage to that beginning.
When thinking about our wedding, we wanted to have fun. Since we love to travel, we built a theme around that. Our invitations and Save the Dates were designed to look like tickets and passports; our tables were named for places we had traveled to together; our programs were designed to look like an airplane safety card; and our late night dessert was a tribute to the desserts we had when we got engaged in Germany.
In keeping with our travel theme, Jeff envisioned an airplane safety card program. It included information about signing into our wedding app which allowed guests to upload their pictures from the night into one album (which uploaded straight to Facebook). We also had a hashtag for those who were on Instagram. On the card were pictures of the special people standing by us as we married; including the two Maids of Honor, Best Man and Groomsmen, and our good friend who was kind enough to officiate the ceremony.
The 'in-lieu of favor' cards were designed by a good friend Christine and her fiancé Steve in Australia who were not able to join us for the big day. We knew that we wanted to give donations to Toys for Tots (one of our favorite charities) and that we wanted to have toys there to represent the gift. Christine took the idea and ran with it. We could not be happier with how the pieces turned out.
We named each table for a place we had been together (plus two places we were traveling to in the near future). For our name tags, we purchased what looked like luggage tags and clear labels. The cards were laid out in front of a custom suitcase seating cart made by Rita's sister (and Maid of Honor).
For our card box, Jeff picked up a cardboard suitcase to go with our travel theme.
One of our Maid of Honor's mother is a fabulous artist and she agreed to design a custom painting for us to capture our guests finger prints on. She even went so far as to paint our likeness on the two characters in the airplane (to fit our theme).
Rita built each of the centerpieces by hand. We purchased the green wreaths and decorations and placed them around the Publick House's hurricane lamps on each table. It was an easy decoration that her mother makes every year during the holidays and they tied in the holiday decor in the Publick House.
We knew that we wanted to tie our family into the ceremony and chose to decorate Rita's bouquet with wedding pictures from our parents' and grandparents' big days. It was a lot of fun to go through the pictures with the family. We are both very family-centric and it was a detail that meant a lot to us. Where all of our flowers were silk and real-touch, we will always have them with us. The vase we store the flowers in is something we picked up on one of our travels.
We are big fans of food and we were very excited to surprise all of our guests with a waffle bar towards the end of the night (similar to the waffles we had enjoyed during the trip we were engaged on). We were both looking forward to the waffles so much that we did not eat our wedding cake (the Publick House packed it up and we ate it the next day).
Don't take the wedding planning process too seriously. You can spend a lot of money just doing what you think you are supposed to do. If something isn't important to you, you don't have to include it. And the same goes for adding non-tradition aspects to your ceremony or party.
We are plannig our weeding with the thema "around the world". We already set the save the date cards as boardings passes out.
I love the safety card as well. I would love to have something similar made. Is there anyway you can advise who created them for you and if I can clearer photos emailed to me as well. My email is watsonwedding2018@gmail.com. Thank you.

One mile offshore on the Chicago south side, at 70th Street, approximately 100 workers were living on the intermediate crib. This structure was atop a shaft leading 180 feet down to a tunnel the workers were digging between the water crib, a mile further out, and the shore to bring fresh water to the city. As fire broke out on that cold morning, men jumped into the icy water to escape the flames. Soon, the tugboat TT Morford, seeing the flames from the crib came to the rescue, saving around 20 lives.


Hi Patricia! The Hoop-Dee-Doo Musical Revue is a fantastic spot for celebrations! The performers really make a fuss over guests celebrating birthdays and anniversaries -- they visit the tables of those guests during the show to talk to them and sing, and they make sure that the entire restaurant joins in the celebration! On my last visit to the Hoop-Dee-Doo, the performers made certain that the guests celebrating their 16th birthdays weren't "sweet sixteen and never been kissed!" I think your daughter and her friends would have a ball celebrating her birthday at the Hoop-Dee-Doo!

4 Expert Tips For AC-level/C-suite/Executive Level interview!
C-Suite and executive level interviews look for certain factors in the applicants they are interviewing. These include the personal style of the interviewee, as well as their leadership skills, along with their brand image, knowledge and insightful experience. The candidates should prepare themselves through research, references, rehearsal and networking.
Questions can also be asked by the candidate being considered, as he would be an executive himself. Thus, one should not be afraid to ask what the hiring organization or institution is like, and what the workplace morale is. Another pertinent question might be about who had this position last time or if it is a new position, why it was created. The future plans of the executive role are an important factor. Other gray areas like the most important specifications of the job, and the expected level of compromise needs clarification as well.
C-Suite executive candidates need to keep busy, not just in work but also by networking among their colleagues, professors, friends, and industry leaders. This not only helps to create a good impression on the hiring party, but can also help in finding out what an organization would be like to work for.
The specialized areas of the considered organization; its challenges and strong points; how it's perceived by its employees, patrons, and partners; these are all important questions that should come up in private conversations with your personal acquaintances. It is just as well to know whether the work process would be smooth or choppy, as well as many other factors, before you decide if you even want to work at a certain place.
This is not a blue-collar job, nor is it an entry-levelposition. A candidate for a C-suite job cannot rely on the basis of his resume alone. The final interviews are tough, and need to be prepared for just like students prepare for final exams.
Networking and research can find out what kind of questions the hiring organization would ask. Past, present, and future reflections and opinions are of the utmost importance, as decision-making is a key factor in executive positions.
Some of the questions may revolve around how the candidate has achieved a successful career so far, and why he now wants to have this position. Hobbies and family can also be some of the probing questions. Also be prepared to be answer queries about behavioral situations, such as a hypothetical problem arising in the workplace.
Since leadership is the main role within an executive position, candidates would have to thoroughly research and provide insights into their own leadership skills. These include managing priorities, delegating tasks, achieving goals, and many more tasks.
One would have to prove to the interviewer that they are capable of handling all these factors. For this, examples of their previous experiences as well as objective research are of immense use.
Networking, research, and personal insight are some of the most essential factors in preparing for an executive level interview. As this is a high-paying position, full of responsibilities and important decision-making, a high level of hard work and preparation is needed. The more one prepares, the more smoothly the interview and hiring process would go.

Washed-out Kinsman road expected to be fixed by end of October
Until then, residents living in one development can only get to their homes via a walking path
by: Nadine Grimley
KINSMAN, Ohio (WKBN) – It's been more than a month since heavy rain washed away access to the Lakelands development in Kinsman. We learned Monday a construction project is about to begin that will bring big changes.
It's been a little over a month since flooding wiped out a portion of the causeway on Lakeview Drive, destroying the only driveable road into the development.
People who live in the neighborhood currently have to walk or drive ATVs along a wooded path to get home. They could be doing that through October.
"Winter's coming," Trustee Linda Miller said. "We have residents over there who are living there, their vehicles are on this side, we have children who are walking through the woods to get to the bus."
At least now, full access to their homes is in sight.
Mosquito problem brought on by Kinsman flooding could be dealt with soon
Road washed away in Kinsman will be fixed but lake will not be refilled
"This is predominantly going to be the final fix," said Trumbull County Engineer Randy Smith. "It's going to take 60 days to get there, approximately 60 days. That'll allow full access to emergency vehicles, buses, things of that nature."
Construction to repair the causeway will begin this week.
"Essentially, the work that's going to take place is going to restore the roadway and the embankment in a like condition," Smith said.
The project is expected to cost $1.8 million. Lawmakers said money for the project is coming from the Ohio Department of Transportation and the Ohio Department of Public Safety. The money was made available following a disaster declaration by the governor.
"Through the work of the county engineer with the trustees, through the state representatives, through the state Senate, all throughout this area, this district really brought the focus to Columbus," said State Rep. Michael O'Brien.
"There was a lot of red tape, there were legal issues that we had to get through," said Sen. Sean O'Brien. "We got through them, I think, pretty quickly."
"This is a top priority and I think there's a point of focus that everyone needs to pay attention to — the rapid response and timing that was done on this project," said Sen. Michael Rulli.
(WKBN) - Pennsylvania officials set off their "Ready to be Ready" campaign Sunday, urging people to be prepared for emergencies in 2021.
Mercer County Director of Public Safety Frank Jannetti stresses that people should be thinking about facing an emergency in both their car and their home.

Murder suspect, Jowie Irungu, has for the first time broken his silence after leaving prison. Jowie, who has now turned into Gospel Music, was speaking to media personality Jalang'o in an exclusive interview.
During the Interview, Jowie explained that he separated with former TV presenter, Jackie Maribe, while he was still in prison.
"I decided not to keep in touch with her. We therefore broke up while I was still in prison. We talked about the separation thing and we both let everything go", said Jowie.
Joseph Irungu alias Jowie
Jowie had been dating the TV girl for years and even proposed to her in a romantic scene that brought Jowie to the public eye for the first time. The two were living together and even had mutual friends before they were charged with murder of Businesswoman, Monica Kimani.
In the Friday afternoon interview, Jowie revealed that he is now married and a proud father of a beautiful daughter. Mkenya News has now learned that the beautiful wife is none other than Elena Musangi Ndambo.
Musangi is also Jowie's manager and baby mama. The two had a daughter before Jowie dated Maribe. After he left prison, the two got back and decided to settle together.
The couple's daughter has been the talk of the week after she was featured in the newly released video of "Nishikilie" song by Jowie.
Here are photos of the sexy model who is now the love of Jowie's life.
