Q: C# FileSystemEventHander won't Trigger from FileSystemWatcher I've tried about 100 variations of this code using MS and SO as references and I cannot get the file to trigger.  Actually, that's not entirely accurate.  I got it the first time, but only the first time.
It's a simple FileSystemWatcher, I'm looking for files being created (either created directly via another process, or files that were copied.
Here is my code, what am I missing?
public Form_Status() {
        InitializeComponent();
        Show();

        this.lblStatusText.Text = "Creating Jobs";
        Watch(@"\\erpsql\p21shares\PurchasingSave");

    }

    private static void Watch(string path) {

        // Create a new FileSystemWatcher and set its properties.
        using (FileSystemWatcher watcher = new FileSystemWatcher()) {
            watcher.Path = path;

            // LastWrite Triggers
            watcher.NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.LastWrite;

            // Only watch text files.
            watcher.Filter = "*.*";

            // Add event handlers.
            watcher.Changed += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnChanged);
            watcher.Created += new FileSystemEventHandler(OnChanged);

            // Begin watching.
            watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
        }
    }

    private static void OnChanged(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e) {

Get to Know Our No. 1: Evans, Georgia
Franklin, Tennessee
The Foo Fighters, The Killers, and Keith Urban walk onto a stage — where are you? If you lived in Franklin, Tennessee, you'd be home. This is the caliber of artists that the Pilgrimage Festival draws every September to The Park at Harlinsdale Farm in Franklin.
This Tennessee town has been a strong contender in our list for the past few years, twice ranking in the top 10. It's not just because of its music cred. Located just 20 miles south of Nashville, Franklin has seen a 44% job growth in the last 10 years, matched by a 33% increase in population.
This growth has been due in part to healthcare and manufacturing companies like Optum and Mars Petcare coming to Franklin in the last decade. Other major employers, like Nissan North America and Community Health Systems, have continued to expand. Jobs in the area are expected to increase by 10% in the next five years.
Residents of Franklin have an median household income of $110,000. The median price for a family home is $495,000, compared to homes in neighboring Brentwood, which typically sell for more than $550,000.
Another big reason people are moving to Franklin: the quality of its schools. Franklin forms part of the highly-rated Williamson County School District. Franklin High is the 7th best in Tennessee, as ranked by US News, and its students consistently rank in the 97th percentile in the state end-of-course exams.
When it's not hosting Grammy-award winners, The Park at Harlinsdale is open to the public year-round, and residents of Franklin enjoy hiking, picnicking, and walking their dogs on the well-maintained lawns. In April, the town celebrates the Main Street Festival in the Downtown Franklin district, featuring live music, street food and crafts. — Mayra Paris

This CellBots code in android/java open source code was set up as a Subversion/SVN source 2011.
It was set up as Subversion/SVN on a Google server 2011 and I could import it to Eclipse 2011 with a SVN link and could create an app of it from Eclipe and get it installed to an android phone.
Now the code is not on a Subversion/SVN link any more.
You download all of it as a zip file.
When I extract it I get the code with lots of Subversion/SVN files all over the code and when I import it to android studio it does not compile to .apk .
So I do something wrong.
I guess that I need to upload the code to a Subversion / SVN or github or gradle server and then import it to Eclipe and Android Studio, as I did 2011, to get it imported and set up correctly in Eclipe and Android Studio.
And I do not know how to do this.
If anyone know how to set it up in svn/github/gradle and import the CellBots code, and to get it working, in Eclipe and Android Studio, I would be happy.
I think this discussion would fit better in our Android forum: moving you.

How do you do New Years Eve? I have a great fresh and filling dip for you to bring to a party or to your next football party. I always avoided going out to bars on NYE. It seems like it has to be such a plan. It is overpriced and crowded.
I'm too old for that. Last year we moved and watched the ball drop from our new house. Most years Mr. J and I had been able to walk over to our friends' annual party. This year it is a bit further but I'm excited.
Mix yogurt and ranch dressing mix until combined. Let chill for a few hours (or overnight) before serving.
Chop veggies into small bite size pieces.
Spread ranch onto a platter or plate.
Top with chopped veggies, eggs, cheese, and bacon (I was out of bacon and used pepperoni).
Serve with crackers for dipping.
I like this one because it is fresh and crisp and has all my favorites in one place. The Greek yogurt adds such a good tang while being packed with protein and calcium. This dip is the perfect party way to eat some veggies.
Cobb Salad Dip is convenient to chop the veggies and whip up the ranch dip then assemble on site. It is one of the easiest ones to prep in advance and pack it to go.

This review evaluates the role of α-adrenoceptor antagonists as a potential treatment of prostate cancer (PCa). Cochrane, Google Scholar and Pubmed were accessed to retrieve sixty-two articles for analysis. In vitro studies demonstrate that doxazosin, prazosin and terazosin (quinazoline α-antagonists) induce apoptosis, decrease cell growth, and proliferation in PC-3, LNCaP and DU-145 cell lines. Similarly, the piperazine based naftopidil induced cell cycle arrest and death in LNCaP-E9 cell lines. In contrast, sulphonamide based tamsulosin did not exhibit these effects. In vivo data was consistent with in vitro findings as the quinazoline based α-antagonists prevented angiogenesis and decreased tumour mass in mice models of PCa. Mechanistically the cytotoxic and antitumor effects of the α-antagonists appear largely independent of α 1-blockade. The proposed targets include: VEGF, EGFR, HER2/Neu, caspase 8/3, topoisomerase 1 and other mitochondrial apoptotic inducing factors. These cytotoxic effects could not be evaluated in human studies as prospective trial data is lacking. However, retrospective studies show a decreased incidence of PCa in males exposed to α-antagonists. As human data evaluating the use of α-antagonists as treatments are lacking; well designed, prospective clinical trials are needed to conclusively demonstrate the anticancer properties of quinazoline based α-antagonists in PCa and other cancers.

Et realkreditinstitut yder lån mod pant i fast ejendom finansieret ved udstedelse af obligationer. En hypotekbank, en hypotekforening og en kreditforening er særlige former for et realkreditinstitut.

Realkredittens historie i Danmark
Det første danske realkreditinstitut, Kreditkassen for Husejerne i Kjøbenhavn, blev oprettet i 1797.

Efter landboreformerne i slutningen af det 18. århundrede var der et betydeligt behov for finansiering af omsætningen af fast ejendom, og i 1850 blev den første danske kreditforeningslov vedtaget. Kreditforeninger var foreninger af låntagere, der hæftede solidarisk.

Kreditforeningerne kunne yde lån inden for 60 pct. af en ejendoms værdi. Det dækkede ikke behovet, og der blev derfor i slutningen af 1800-tallet dannet såkaldte hypotekforeninger, der kunne supplere långivningen op til 75 pct. af ejendommens værdi (2.-lagsprioritering). Den første hypotekforening blev stiftet i 1895, men først i 1936 fik Danmark en hypotekforeningslov.

Efter 2. verdenskrig var kreditforeningerne og hypotekforeningerne meget tilbageholdende med långivningen, og staten ydede i betydeligt omfang lån til nybyggeri. Staten havde et ønske om at trække sig ud af denne rolle, og i 1959 oprettedes på den baggrund nogle særlige realkreditlånefonde (3. lagsprioritering), der var selvejende fonde og adskilte sig fra kredit- og hypotekforeningerne ved ikke at kræve solidarisk ansvar af låntagerne, Byggeriets Realkreditfond, Provinsbankernes Realkreditfond og Landsbankernes Realkreditfond. Samtidigt blev i øvrigt også oprettet Dansk Landbrugs Realkreditfond, Finansieringsinstituttet for Industri og Håndværk samt Danmarks Skibskreditfond.

Ved realkreditloven i 1970 blev den hidtil frie adgang til realkredit væsentligt indskrænket. Der indførtes lavere lånegrænser, kortere afdragstider og begrænsninger i de formål, der kunne finansieres med realkreditlån. Tre-lagsfinansieringen blev erstattet af en to-lagsfinansiering, og antallet af realkreditinstitutter blev stærkt reduceret gennem fusioner. To-lagsbelåningen blev for boliger afskaffet i 1980. To-lagsbelåningen inden for landbruget blev afskaffet i 2000.

I 1989 blev der vedtaget en ny realkreditlov med henblik på bl.a. at opfylde en række forpligtelser vedrørende gennemførelse af EF-direktiver. Med loven blev der mulighed for at oprette nye realkreditinstitutter. Dette skulle ske som aktieselskaber, og de eksisterende realkreditinstitutter fik samtidigt mulighed for at omdanne sig til aktieselskaber.

Før den ny lov var der 5 realkreditinstitutter – BRFkredit, Kreditforeningen Danmark (senere Realkredit Danmark), Nykredit, Industriens Realkreditfond (senere fusioneret med Nykredit) og DLR (senere DLR Kredit).

Efter vedtagelsen af loven blev oprettet Danske Kredit, Landsbankernes Reallånefond (genoprettelse – senere til LR Realkredit), Totalkredit (en genoprettelse af den nævnte Provinsbankernes Reallånefond), Nordea Kredit (tidligere Unikredit), FIH Realkredit og BG Kredit, således at der i en periode var 10 realkreditinstitutter. Danske Kredit og BG Kredit fusionerede i 2001 med Realkredit Danmark. FIH Realkredit er senere afviklet. Nykredit købte i 2003 Totalkredit. Den 24. februar 2014 blev det offentliggjort, at BRFkredit overtages af Jyske Bank med virkning fra den 1. april 2014. Brandet BRFkredit er efterfølgende afviklet og realkreditinstituttet har ændret navn til Jyske Realkredit.

Murphy brands Steer as 'pathetic'
Villa Roar	News	 May 13, 2019 May 13, 2019 1 Minute
DANNY Murphy has branded Villa goalkeeper Jed Steer 'pathetic' after the collision with Dwight Gayle that saw the Baggies striker red carded on Saturday.
In his role as a Talksport pundit, Murphy told the Jim White Show that he felt Steer exaggerated the incident in a bid to earn Gayle a second yellow card.
Gayle was sent off by ref Graham Scott and now misses the second leg of the Play-off semi-final with Villa on Tuesday night.
It was a flashpoint that completely changed the outlook of the tie for both sides.
And ex-Liverpool and Fulham defender says that Steer more than played his part.
Murphy said: "The goalkeeper was pathetic, rolling about when he was hardly touched.
"Gayle didn't do anything. He pulled out. He tried to move his leg out of the way, he moved his boot."
Pushed on why the yellow card was shown, Murphy added: "The goalkeeper rolling about and the noise from the crowd, he thought he'd done more than he had.
"There's no way the referee looks back at that and says it's a yellow card. Gayle should play in the next game and if he doesn't it's a travesty.
"I hate it when referees guess and he guessed because of the rolling about from the silly keeper.
"The ref didn't have a good game and he's not very good anyway."
It is not the first time Murphy has found a reason to criticise Villa – but whatever he thinks, the dismissal cannot be overturned as there is no appeal for two yellow cards, only straight reds.

Light scratches and minor wear on back case.
Featured here is an iconic asymmetric model produced by Hamilton called the the Hamilton Flight II with its space age designed case and honeycomb styled lugs. Both the Flight I and Flight II are hard to come by and very collectable by all watch collectors, not just Hamilton enthusiasts. The honeycomb styled lugs give it a "forward look" which was meant to imply motion. Beneath the dial is a high grade 770 manual hand winding movement with 22 jewels that has been cleaned, oiled, and timed for 24 hours. The watch sets and winds smoothly and the back case only has light scratches and some minor wear. The inside back case reads: Hamilton W. Co., Lancaster PA., 10K GoldFilled, P280598, Star W.C. Co. The center width measures approximately 30mm and the overall length is approximately 35mm from lug tip to lug tip. Included is a new glass crystal and brand new I.W. Suisse genuine lizard straps.

Soto, Jesús Rafael
Jesús Rafael Soto does not have an image.
(Ciudad Bolivar, Venezuela, 1923 - 2005, Paris)
Born 1923, Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela; active 1943–50, Caracas, Venezuela; 1950–2004, Paris; died 2005, Paris. Jesús Raphael Soto was an important member of the kinetic art movement in Venezuela during the 1950s and 1960s. Soto was influenced by the musically inspired work of Piet Mondrian. Like Mondrian, Soto wanted to translate musical rhythms into visual form, and attempted to do so in his Serial and Progression series of paintings made up of dots or squares arranged in geometric formations. Soto began to experiment with the visual effects of layering elements, sometimes placing a sheet of plexiglass with a design on it in front of an image, or hanging elements in front of the canvas. These works would appear differently as the viewer moved around them, thus requiring the viewer's participation to complete the works' effect. Soto also created a series of Penetrables that were large-scale installations formed by nylon filament or hollow tubes suspended from the ceiling in gridlike formations for the viewer to walk through, incorporating the sense of touch and, in the case of the tubes, sound.

He's handsome, he's talented, and fortunately for Highlight Hollywood readers, you get to see Robert Buckley's more humorous side. Legendary photographer Brad Everett Young, also a renowned actor photographed Buckley and some of his "iZombie" costars for Dream Loud Official.
The video is sensational, funny and like everything Brad Everett Young does, it becomes a cult classic. The wildly talented actor and photographer has a way of making his subjects on film look and feel so at ease. See the "iZombie" cast also below in our slide show.
Hey, Rob would only allow spray painting of his hair if Brad and his team are doing this, trust me with that! Everyone who is photographed by Brad consistently tell me how much they trust him, how much they enjoy the process, which is rare in this business. And when stars feel comfortable with a photographer, they will let their hair down, or in this case, allow their hair to be spray painted!
Robert Buckley previously starred in "One Tree Hill," "Lipstick Jungle," "Hart of Dixie" also on the CW Network as well as ABC's "666 Park Avenue." He's one of the hottest young stars in Tinseltown, and a lot of fun as well.

Help Me Help
July 3, 2013 //
I spent the first 45 years of my life trying to please my mother, and will doubtless spend the next 45 mourning my decision to stop. My mother was a deeply unhappy woman, tender-hearted but narcissistic, and unable to relinquish her identity as a victim. I was well into middle age before I fully realized the futility of trying to help someone feel better when they don't want to.
It is no coincidence that I have always derived the most satisfaction in my life from aiding others, in any way I can. (This is not to suggest that I spend all of my time helping people. I'm not that kind of saint.) In a professional context, my life as a Public Defender investigator was about as good as it gets: I helped my clients, obviously, but also their families, and case witnesses. Being involved in a criminal proceeding is confusing and scary to "normal" people- there was a lot of fear and anxiety to calm, and I was happy to do it. If I have a passion for anything in life, it is for making people feel better.
Yesterday, in the course of my part-time job, I was at a customer's home as the "support" half of a design team. We were there to offer advice on furniture and decor in several rooms, including that of her teen-aged daughter, who was present during part of our visit.
Mom was clearly feeling stressed, and the daughter, who had not expected to see us, was at best, less than fully engaged with the process. After a fairly unremarkable exchange between the two of them, the daughter left for lunch with a friend, and the mother returned to our project, clearly distracted and almost distraught.
My colleague and I are both mothers of daughters. Hers is the age of the customer's girl; mine is "grown." We commiserated over the drama inherent in living with a female teen, and I took it upon myself to assure her that the friction is usually temporary, and absolutely typical.
I did not really expect to spend so much of our time addressing the dynamics of our customer's relationship with her kids, but it seemed right, because she was in such distress. This very attractive, perfectly groomed woman, in her beautiful home, emanated emotions I could recognize and relate to: isolation and shame. Isolation in the sense of thinking that the rest of the world isn't challenged by what she was dealing with, and shame that she wasn't handling it better.
As a human being, I couldn't ignore what I saw. We talked for quite a while, and I allowed her to vent, carefully offering observations and suggestions. My colleague shared some of her experiences with her own daughter, and eventually we were able to return to our initial purpose.
In my resumed role as designer support, I listened to the consultation and took notes, thinking of the horror management might feel at the time we spent off -task. I dismissed my worry; had we not spent the time addressing the customer's immediate concerns, we would have never had her attention.
I realized yesterday afternoon that as much as I enjoy my part-time work, I will never be completely satisfied by helping at just a superficial level. Choosing throw pillows is a daunting burden for some people, and it's fun to turn someone's dread to enthusiasm as she feels empowered to develop and exert her taste. But there are bigger problems out there, and more pain. I won't be satisfied until I can tackle some of that again.

Meet Alison Van Natta
I am a highly dedicated professional artist, I work predominantly in ceramics using porcelain and stoneware clays. The Artworks that I have been producing recently centre around the use of organic forms as inspiration to develop pieces which are naturalistic, abstract, delicate and that which take elements of the past, using fragments of various disciplines and traditions throughout art history.
Zen has been a philosophy which has inspired me recently, particularly its involvement in the use of minimalism and classical naturalism as within the balancing of forms and space: such as the dynamic between the void: negative space, and the positive space, of the actual material form in the artwork.
Chinese and Japanese, contemporary and traditional artwork have also pushed through into the development of both the forms of my sculpture/artwork/jewellery. Particularly my interest in and the use of blue can be seen to reflect the presence of the willow pattern, itself evident throughout Western and Eastern ceramic evolution, forming a symbol of classicism against which and within which my work evolves.
Sea life has also been thrown into the mix, as it is almost impossible to escape the powerful beauty of Cornwall's direct relationship with the sea, and I have no wish to escape this inspiration.
Equally the landscape of rural Cornwall fills my conciousness with a deep need to reflect upon the spirituality of nature. My emotional responses to this experience fuel my creativity.
The work most recently developed and on show is porcelain vases and teapots with birds, which has evolved from the zen aesthetic as touched upon above.These are the artworks shown in the images included.
We are a group of artists/ crafter's/maker's that share a gallery at Heartlands. Poll, Cornwall.

Sue Happy
Metroland, New York/December 18, 2009
By Chet Hardin
After years of battling NXIVM in court, a nationally known "cult deprogrammer" says the end is nigh.
This is the fifth lawsuit for Rick Ross. The New Jersey-based cult deprogrammer and founder of the Rick Ross Institute maintains a Web site that catalogues news coverage and allegations of cult activity, making him a target of what he calls harassment suits. While these legal battles can take up years of his life, he said, he's never lost a suit. And in some cases, he has been pleasantly surprised by the unintended outcomes.
Take, for example, the suit leveled against him by the Maine-based Gentle Wind Project. That suit, Ross said, backfired on Gentle Wind by drawing the attention of Maine's attorney general. Until that point, the authorities hadn't paid much attention to the odd little group. "But he did start paying attention to them after they sued [...]," says Ross, "and then he shut them down-literally liquidated them."
He was sued by Arizona's Church of the Immortal Consciousness, and by a woman in Florida who ran a ministry called the Pure Bride Ministries. He was sued by Landmark Education, who dismissed their own lawsuit, he said, "to get out from underneath it. As soon as they realized that they were going to lose they beat it-and quickly."
"And now we have NXIVM," Ross said, "who has lost at every juncture. They have just lost and lost and lost and lost."
Founded by Keith Raniere and Nancy Salzman, NXIVM is the Capital Region-based corporation behind Executive Success Programs, which claims to develop and impart "programs that provide the philosophical and practical foundation necessary to acquire and build the skills for success."
As Ross is reporting on his site, Cult News.com, "a motion filed by NXIVM to reinstate causes of action previously dismissed in June of 2007 has been denied. This included an effort to reinstate claims of 'product disparagement' and 'tortious interference' in a long-standing lawsuit filed against the Ross Institute of New Jersey."
"The motion by Raniere's lawyers," Ross told Metroland, "is a kind of Hail Mary pass. Their hope was to get these causes back in, because they realized if they didn't that the lawsuit had no hope whatsoever." These causes, he continued, "were the causes that had meat."
What remains, now, are deliberations over trade secrets violations and copyright causes. "It's as though the judge has turned off the life support" for NXIVM's suit, Ross said. "Now it's just going to wiggle to death."
He said that he believes in a year from now, the suit will finally reach its conclusion.
"This suit never had any substance to it. From its inception, it has never been anything more than a harassment suit," Ross said. He laughed at the length of time that the suit has lasted. "Seven years. That's an all-time record with me. Most of my adversaries, the various cults that have sued me, they don't last five years. Raniere managed to keep it going for seven. You gotta give the guy some credit."
While Ross maintained that it lacked substance, he added that the NXIVM suit "is probably the most significant lawsuit that I have been involved in from the standpoint of writing new law and establishing new precedent. The NXIVM v. Ross suit is now cited as an expansion of the First Amendment, as upheld by the United States Supreme Court, in regards to confidentiality agreements."
To protect what Raniere believes are the trade secrets behind the technology that the organization uses to train its students, NXIVM requires that students sign confidentiality agreements. Ross received copies of NXIVM's training materials from a former student who had signed such an agreement, which was ignored [sic] when Ross posted the training materials, along with analysis, on his Web site.
In 2003, NXIVM went to the courts to seek an emergency injunction against Ross' site, he said. The Albany court, where the claim was filed, ruled in Ross' favor. "So NXIVM appealed to the 2nd Circuit in Manhattan, and that court found that the confidentiality agreement was trumped by the public's right to know. NXIVM appealed that to the U.S. Supreme Court, saying that this is unprecedented, that confidentiality agreements in the past have been upheld in proceedings, and that this confidentiality should be upheld." The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the case. "And that gave the 2nd Circuit the leeway that they literally wrote new law. New law came out of this case."
Ross has been a consistent source for this paper in its reporting on NXIVM.
In a 2008 Metroland article, "The Stars Come Out in Troy," Ross was quoted discussing Raniere's previous business, Consumers Buyline Inc. Raniere later claimed that Ross was incorrect in his characterization of that company's legal issues and that Metroland had conspired with Ross to libel him and NXIVM.
This past spring, it appeared that NXIVM had attempted to sue Metroland for $65 million. However, the company that owns Metroland, Lou Communications Inc., was never served in that suit. Instead, NXIVM attempted to serve the now-defunct former owner of the paper, Metroland Magazine Inc.
The statue of limitations on NXIVM's potential claim against Metroland has expired.
As for Ross, he estimated that his legal expenses to defend himself in NXIVM Corp. v. Ross would have topped $2 million had he not received extensive pro-bono representation. As it stands, he said, he has spent less than $1,000.
Ross' countersuit against NXIVM is ongoing.

Q: Ignore unavailable data in Python pie chart plot I am plotting pie chart with the following dataframe.
The data is adds up to 0.932 which is less than 1.
Accordingly, the pie plot is producing 'four' pies.
I want a pie plot without the unavailable(1-0.932) pie in the chart.
The plot should have 3 pies with 0.62, 0.31 and 0.02.
How to do it? Please suggest.
import pandas as pd
df99 = pd.DataFrame({
    'Data': ['A', 'B', 'C'],
    'Perc': [0.62, 0.31, 0.02]})
df99.plot.pie(y='Perc')

A: When the sum is smaller than 1, pie draws an incomplete circle. So, you could multiply the numbers e.g. by 100. pie will calculate percentages that sum to 100; dividing and multiplying with the original sum gives back the original numbers.  Pandas plot.piedoesn't allow for a lot of fine tuning, so in thic case, directly calling matplotlib's pie could make things easier:
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

df99 = pd.DataFrame({
    'Data': ['A', 'B', 'C'],
    'Perc': [0.62, 0.31, 0.02]})
plt.pie(df99['Perc']*100, labels=df99['Data'],
        autopct=lambda p: f"{p*df99['Perc'].sum()/100:.2f}")
plt.show()

Do Your Car's Bumpers Need Repair?
If you look at the cars around you when you are driving on the road, you will likely see a lot of them that have damage to their bumpers. It might be a dent, a scrape, or a scratch. These protective parts of your car often take a beating and that detracts from the beauty of your car. Replacement costs for most bumpers are very high and when you add in the labour costs, it could cost you on average £250 – £500!

If you have questions about our service, please phone us. We will answer your questions and provide you with a free quote.


In this post I gather some notes I wrote down when I was studying the OpenGL ES Graphics Pipeline. It's not intended to be a exhaustive or complete resource about this topic. I leave the mathematical theory of transformations out.
The graphics rendering pipeline transforms the description of objects in terms of vertices of primitives (triangle, point, line, etc) into a grid of color values (raster image) that will be drawn on the display.
The first set of transformations applied to vertices inside GPU are several sequential coordinate transformations in order to position them in from of the viewer and with the right size for the chosen perspective.
A transformation converts a vertex V from one space (or coordinate system) to another space V'. This transformation is carried by multiplying the vector with a transformation matrix (V' = M V).
The camera (viewer) position and orientation will determine what objects appear in the final image and the side of them that will be represented. To setup this transformation OpenGL needs the camera position (EYE), the direction where the camera is aiming at (AT) and the upward orientation (UP) of the camera roughly (this vector is used to form a plane together with AT; this does not need to be the new Y axis). All these data will be in world coordinates. With these three data is possible to calculate the new orthogonal coordinate system of the camera.
Once the camera is positioned and oriented, it is time to decide what goes into the field of view and how the objects are projected onto the screen. This is done by specifying a viewing volume or clipping volume and selecting a projection mode (Perspective or orthographic. I focus on perspective projection since here). Objects (or parts of them) outside the clipping volume are clipped out of the scene.
The projection transformation turns the viewing volume into a cube clipping-volume. It's worthy to note that this geometric operation performs a space 'deformation' by transforming the frustum (truncated pyramid) into a cube.
As previous transformations, this vertex processing stage transform individual vertices. The relationships between vertices (such as primitives) are not considered in this stage.
Vertices that does not contribute to the final image will be discarded to improve the performance. This is known as view-frustum culling and it is done automatically by the GPU. If an object partially overlaps with the view frustum, it will be clipped in the later stage.
Each vertex inside the frustum is transformed, positioned and normalized in the clipping-volume cube space, together with their vertex-normal. The x and y coordinates (in the range of -1 to +1) will represent its position on the screen, and the z value (in the range of -1 to +1) represents its depth and will be stored in the Z-Buffer (usually remapped to the range of 0 to 1).
In hardware that supports OpenGL ES (2.0 or higher) all the explained transformations are implemented programmatically by vertex shaders.
Vertex shaders allow to apply transformations and deformations at vertex level; These know nothing about connections among vertices (geometry). So, the vertex shader only works with information related to the vertices (position, normal vector, color and texture coordinates).
Each vertex transformed by the vertex shader includes its position (considered in the clip coordinate space): the (x, y, z, w) value of the vertex. The primitive type and vertex indices passed in by the application determine the individual primitives that will be rendered in this stage.
The clipping stage will clip each primitive to the clip volume. This operation is automatically made by GPU hardware.
In the most complicated case: triangle primitives, they are clipped against the viewing volume by generating appropriate triangles who's vertices are on the boundary of the clipping volume. This may generate more than 1 triangle.
Before the rasterization itself, it's necessary to do the last vertices transformation: from the clipping-volume coordinates to the display area (viewport) saved for this application.
Viewport is a rectangular display area on the application window measured in screen's coordinates (pixels). In 3D graphics, a viewport is 3-dimensional to support z-ordering.
The viewport transformation is made up of a y-axis reflection; x, y and z axes scalings; and a translation (of the origin from the center of the near plane of clipping volume to the top-left corner of the 3D viewport).
Some advanced graphic hardware and APIs (not OpenGL ES for now) supports geometry (primitives) transformation through a programmable stage after the primitive assembly one.
This is possible by the geometry shaders: they facilitate the creation and destruction of geometric primitives on the GPU at runtime (vertices, lines and triangles).
For each input primitive, the geometry shader return zero or more output primitives. The primitive input and output need not be the same type. Primitive outflow is obtained in the same order as the primitives entering.
After the vertices have been transformed and primitives have been clipped, the rasterization pipelines take an individual primitives and generate appropriate fragments for them aligned with the pixel-grid. The fragments are a kind of 3D pixels -identified by its integer location (x, y) in screen space- which have been interpolated from the vertices, and have the same set of attributes as the vertices, such as position, color, normal, texture.
Before triangles are rasterized, it's necessary to determine whether they are front-facing (facing the viewer) or back-facing. It can be declared based on the normal vector and the vector connecting the surface and the camera. The culling operation discards triangles that face away from the viewer.
This optimization step is usually programmable and disabled by default. It shall not be enabled if the object is transparent and alpha blending is active.
Triangle Setup: 2D coordinates defining the contours of each triangle are calculated. This information is used in the following stage (and interpolation) and is typically implemented directly in hardware dedicated.
Triangle Traversal or Scan Conversion: All fragments belonging to the triangle are generated. The fragments are calculated by interpolating the information from the three points defined in the Triangle Setup stage.
At this time, each fragment has a position (aligned to the pixel-grid), depth, color, normal and texture coordinates.
Once we have a set of fragments for each primitive, in this stage we can programmatically (by fragment shaders) process the fragment data how we want.
This process is usually dedicated to texture application and pixel-level lighting.
It's worthy to note that, at this point, the fragments keep their depth.
• Pixel ownership test: This test determines if one pixel in the framebuffer is currently owned by OpenGL ES. This test allows the window system to control which pixels in the framebuffer belong to the current OpenGL ES context.
• Scissor test: The scissor test determines if a fragment lies within the scissor rectangle defined as part of the OpenGL ES state. If the fragment is outside the scissor region, the fragment is discarded.
• Stencil and depth tests: These perform tests on the stencil and depth value of the incoming fragment to determine if the fragment should be rejected or not.
The z-buffer (or depth-buffer) is usually used to resolve the fragments visibility, in other words, to remove hidden surfaces. This way: the z-buffer is initialized to 1 (farthest) and color-buffer to the background color. For each fragment (of each primitive) processed, its z-value is checked against the buffer value. If its z-value is smaller than the z-buffer, its color and z-value are copied into the buffer. Otherwise, this fragment is occluded by another object and discarded.
• Blending: Blending combines the newly generated fragment color value with the color values stored in the framebuffer at the same location.
Hidden-surface removal works only if the front object is totally opaque; but a fragment is not necessarily opaque, and could contain an alpha value specifying its degree of transparency.
The alpha is typically normalized to the range of 0 (totally transparent) to 1 (opaque). If the fragment is not totally opaque, then part of its background object could show through, which is known as alpha blending.
In alpha-blending, the order of placing the fragment is important. The fragments must be sorted from back-to-front, with the largest z-value processed first.
Alpha-blending and hidden-surface removal are mutually exclusive.
• Dithering: Dithering can be used to minimize the artifacts that can occur from using limited precision to store color values in the frame-buffer.
At the end of the per-fragment stage, either the fragment is rejected or a fragment color, depth, or stencil value is written to the framebuffer at that loca- tion. The fragment color, depth, and stencil values are written depending on whether the appropriate write masks are enabled or not. Thus it achieves a finer control over the color, depth, and stencil values written into the appropriate buffers.


WARNING: This tool creates darks for data taken BEFORE January 4, 1999! These darks will not properly calibrate any data taken during Cycle 11 and beyond!
This page has been set up to facilitate the making of dark reference files corresponding to a specific temperature. The shading is a temperature dependent component of the detector bias. This means having a temperature sensitive dark reference file is critical to the calibration process.
Right now this form only accomodates multiaccum data. At some later time we hope to have the models for accum mode data as well. For now, you should choose the camera with which the observations were made, the multiaccum readout sequence which was used, and the temperature at which the observations were made.
You should first try temperatures precise to 0.05 degrees K, and only more precise than that if further examination of the data warrants it, as the temperature fluctuates on the order of a tenth of a degree during the timespan of any exposure. After you fill in the form and submit it, a page should appear with a direct link to your new reference file. Remember, this form actually creates a 7 megabyte file in real time. The process can take up to 5 minutes. Do NOT impatiently hit the 'stop' button on your browser!
Q: I still don't know where to find my observed temperature.
cl> hedit n45z21ayq_spt.fits ndwtmp11 .
The temperatures for any one dataset should be within approximately 0.1 degrees K from each other, and the absolute range should be somewhere between 60 and 63 K.
Q: My observations were taken before 22 August 1997. Can I use these new darks?
A: No. These models only apply to science data taken after the on-board software fix on this date.
Q: After using these new darks, my quadrants have still have a DC offset from one another, or have a 'pedestal' effect that wasn't present when they were calibrated using the old darks. What's going on?
A: You might be experiencing a limitation of the models, which is ultimately a result of the pedestal problem. However, you should be able to fix any problems you might see with the new pedsky IRAF task.

LAUSD Search Kerfuffle goes Hollywood: FORMER STUDIO EXEC LONGSHOT FOR LAUSD SUPERINTENDENT + smf's 2¢
Former Participant CEO Jim Berk Longshot Candidate for LA Unified Superintendent
Rex Shutterstock
by James Rainey, Senior Film Reporter | Variety | http://bit.ly/1lWSSUc
December 11, 2015 | 01:58PM PT :: Nine months after he left his job as CEO of Participant Media, Jim Berk is being discussed as one of many candidates to become the next superintendent of the Los Angeles Unified School District, according to a published report.
Berk has been discussed as a possible replacement for retiring Supt. Ramon C. Cortines, though he has not been interviewed and is not one of the current education administrators mentioned as the top candidates for the post, according to a story in the Los Angeles Times.
The news about Berk comes nine months after he left the Beverly Hills multimedia company under some pressure, following complaints from some employees that he was a micro-manager and failed to plot an effective strategic plan for the company. Berk resigned in April and has kept a relatively low profile since then. He could not be reached immediately for comment.
Berk would be an out-of-the-box selection to head the troubled school district, but he would not be entirely a newcomcer to the LAUSD. The Hollywood executive began his career as a high school band instructor, then launched an acclaimed music magnet at Hamilton High School. He soon advanced to principal of the school — the youngest principal in the history of L.A. Unified.
Before moving into the business world, Berk once had said he aspired to be superintendent of the giant school district, the second largest in America. The LAUSD has long been challenged by a shortage of money and poor student achievement and, recently, declining enrollment.
Cortines has three times headed the school district, most recently taking the job last year, after Supt. John Deasy resigned under pressure. Cortines is 83.

When tax refunds and warmer temperatures converge, the possibilities are endless. With a little extra money, consumers can tackle a range of home improvement projects.
In its blog, real estate marketplace Trulia notes that many home projects can be accomplished for under $1,000. From sprucing up your home's exterior to updating key elements of the home's interior, here are a few projects that don't come with an especially high price tag.
Consumers can use their tax refund check to improve their home's existing ceilings. If your popcorn ceilings are an eyesore, consider hiring a professional to scrape them smooth.
To further enhance the look of your room, look for DIY projects like installing crown molding or box beams or adding a coat of fresh paint.
Beyond looking lovely, homes with curb appeal may be worth more. Adding a new front door adds nearly 97% of the amount you spent to the value of your home, according to Remodeling magazine.
Adding a new mailbox, some flower boxes, new house numbers, outdoor lighting, and shrubs can also boost your home's appeal, says Trulia. For another simple, cost effective improvement, repaint the trim around windows and other features.
"The top of the baseboard where the molding meets the wall gets really dirty over time," Sarah Roussos-Karakaian, co-owner of Nestrs, a construction, design, and organizing company, told Trulia.
But caulking and giving your baseboards a fresh coat of paint can bring your walls back to life, she says. Do-it-yourselfers are likely to spend less on this project, since contractors and painters usually charge between $2.50 to $6 per linear foot depending on the size of the baseboards.
While it may not add instant aesthetic appeal like some of the aforementioned projects, using your tax refund to upgrade from a standard water heater to a tankless model (which heats the water only as needed) will save energy and money.
Area rugs add comfort while bringing all the elements of a room together. Best of all, purchasing a new one won't take a huge bite out of your tax refund.
However, it's important to choose a rug that's the right size. Rugs that are too small may cost slightly less, but they won't do any favors for your space.
To keep your room from looking out of scale, be sure to choose an appropriately sized rug. In smaller rooms, the outer edges of the rug should be around 6 inches from each wall. In larger rooms, the outer edges can be up to 18 inches from the walls.


The best tasting green bean going. These long, round green beans will reach 28 cm in length.
Sweet, flat, yellow beans are ready to pick early in the season and continue to produce until frost.
Vigorous vines produce an abundance of tasty, flat, stringless beans with bright green colour.
Beautiful red and white flowers are a treat for hummingbirds and bees. Flowers are followed by edible pods which in turn produce large, plump edible beans.
Flat, green beans are delicious when picked young. Keep picked for continuous bloom. Hummingbird magnet.
This Italian heirloom has dark green, purple-veined leaves, lavender flowers and beautiful deep purple beans.
Theses plump, round, deep red beans have a rich full-bodied flavour and bear a striking resemblance to cranberries. Delicious at the shelly bean or dry bean stage.

Chile's great pension raid
Published On : 17 December, 2020 1:06 pm
Andrés Velasco
LONDON – How should families pay for the costs of the pandemic? The conservative government's finance minister proposes that the state should help. Thanks but no thanks, retort members of the country's congress. Families can use their own accumulated pension savings, and the government should give them access to those funds.
Experts of all political stripes point out that the government is not heavily indebted and could afford to spend more. This country has had enough of experts, reply progressive parliamentarians. People want their money, and they want it now!
When the evil empire is finally forced to open the pension lockbox, the do-gooders' leader sprints across the congressional hall in a magenta superhero cape. Her followers cheer.
The world turned upside down? A science-fiction tale in a galaxy far, far away? No, just a regular workday in Chile's parliament.
Chile used to be the boring, sensible Latin American country. In neighboring Argentina, Diego Maradona was idolized for scoring a goal with the hand of God. Had he been Chilean, he would have been booed. But no more. With their recent antics, Chilean politicians of right and left have been giving Latin American demagogues a run for their money.
In Chile, pension savings are tax-free, so when high-income households withdraw their money before retirement age, they should pay tax, right? Wrong, say Chilean parliamentarians from across the political spectrum. When a courageous social democratic senator argued that tax was indeed due, thugs posted his home address on social media and encouraged other thugs to pay him a visit.
Why would anyone with a heart induce households to dip into their pension savings to put food on the table during the pandemic, when kinder, gentler alternatives are available? The standard answer from the Chilean opposition is that the government's response to the crisis was too little, too late.
There is a kernel of truth here: President Sebastián Piñera's administration was slow to come to terms with the gravity of the pandemic, and its initial aid packages were skimpy. But by October 2020, the International Monetary Fund was reporting that Chile had deployed around 8% of GDP for discretionary fiscal measures to fight the virus and its economic fallout – less than rich countries in Europe or North America, but far more than most Latin American peers. The government could and should have done more, but when it came to direct support to households, the Fund concludes, Chile has been the region's second-biggest spender, after Brazil.
Besides, the claim that pension funds were the only option because the government refused to spend more was always disingenuous. The motley crew of rightists and leftists who assembled a super-majority to amend the Chilean constitution and force the government to release the pension savings could have used the same tactics to pressure the government to transfer more cash to families and small businesses.
The choice not to do so reflects a mixture of belief and desperation. The belief – widely shared by Chileans – is that the country's pension system must change. While the system of individual retirement accounts managed by private fund administrators (known in Chile by the acronym AFP) has long been a favorite of pundits, it pays low pensions. But so would pretty much any other system, because Chileans save too little (10% of income, compared to 15% or more in many OECD countries and retire early relative to the country's rising life expectancy (a Chilean woman who retires at 60 can expect to live until she is 90).
A reform that increased savings and provided more insurance for people affected by low wages, poor health, or prolonged unemployment would have been the reasonable response. But why negotiate for months to arrive at a deal that will leave everyone a bit unhappy (the very definition of a negotiation) if you can raid the coffers now and worry about the consequences later?
Chile's Congress has just authorized a second withdrawal of funds, which will leave roughly half of pension savers – mostly poor workers with low and volatile incomes – with zero funds in their accounts. Who will pay for their future pensions? No one knows.
Proponents of the pension raid like to think they have dealt the AFPs a lethal blow. They have not. The industry's fees are set not as a proportion of assets managed, but as a percentage of savers' monthly paychecks. So, the AFPs will keep the same revenues but now will have lower costs, because assets under management will have fallen by nearly $40 billion.
After the first withdrawal of funds in August, one poll showed public trust in the AFPs had risen. Because savers are now sure the money is theirs (many previously doubted this), any future attempt to engage in redistribution across savers is sure to meet political resistance. It is hard to imagine progressives pursuing a more regressive policy.
Members of Congress are acting so obtusely because they are desperate. Never before in Chilean history have citizens thought so poorly of politicians. Another recent poll gave Congress a public approval rating of just 13%; the corresponding figure for the main political parties is just as low or lower. With Chile set to hold seven elections in 2021, politicians will do whatever it takes to court voters' support.
But such an attitude can yield only short-sighted policies. Worse, bad policies are paying off politically: Pamela Jiles, the television-celebrity-turned-congresswoman who donned the super-hero cape, now enjoys the highest approval rating of any politician. One is tempted to exclaim, with the Star Wars character Padmé Amidala: "So this is how liberty dies…with thunderous applause."
Of course, the feeding frenzy is not uniquely Chilean. The fashion for raiding pension coffers started in Peru. In Argentina, a Peronist government is again hell-bent on destabilizing the economy. In Brazil and Mexico, presidents spent months belittling scientists and arguing that COVID-19 was not worth worrying about.
Because the policies they produce are so ludicrous, populist cycles eventually crash against reality and come to an end. Still, US President Donald Trump received 74 million votes after grotesquely mishandling the pandemic (and much else). For many people – and too many Chileans – that end is not yet near. Until then, may the force be with us.
Andrés Velasco, a former presidential candidate and finance minister of Chile, is Dean of the School of Public Policy at the London School of Economics and Political Science.

Home » WATSON, THOMAS J.
Thomas J. Watson (1874-1956). Watson was the founder of IBM. In the 1890's, in his first forays out of Elmira, Ohio where the family farm was located, Watson held jobs as a traveling organ salesman, a sewing machine salesman and a peddler of phony building company stocks (although he was unaware of it at the time). In 1899, after the stock swindle debacle, he worked for John Patterson's National Cash Register Company. Under Patterson's tutelage, Watson soon rose to the upper echelon of the company and became their top salesman. Patterson then assigned him an illegal duty, which Watson did in perfect innocence. He was to set up a company of his own for the supposed purpose of competing with NCR. In reality, however, Watson's company was to undercut competitor's prices on second-hand cash registers and thus eliminate anyone who stood in NCR's monopolistic way. In 1912, Watson, Patterson, and 28 others were indicted and convicted for the scheme (an appeals court later ordered a new trial that was never held). In 1913, Patterson calmly fired his young protege. Watson quickly recovered from the shock and took over a company called Computer-Tabulating-Recording Company, located near his old hometown in Elmira. The company had begun selling an electrical punch-card computing system developed for the 1890 census and had branched out into scales, meat slicers, and various adding machines. Sales had been slow and Charles Flint, the financier behind the company, recognized the need for a super salesman. Watson was his man. At Watson's order, the now-famous IBM THINK signs went up all over the company's offices, closets, and washrooms, and company salesmen gathered each morning for pep talks from Watson. These tactics worked: from the time Watson took over the company in 1914 until his death in 1956, IBM boomed, thanks particularly to their colossally motivated sales force. (The IBM name was adopted in 1924). At the time of Watson's death, the company had 72,000 employees and sales of nearly $600 million and it was one of the nation's largest corporations.

Q: Why we use "this" keyword in this case? I saw this code from a certain course, and its goal is that after clicking on a specific
 element, the edit class is deleted on all the elements that own this class, and then it adds the edit class to the
 element that was clicked.

let elements = document.querySelectorAll("p");

elements.forEach(function (ele) {

    ele.onclick = function () {
        elements.forEach(function (ele) {
            ele.classList.remove("edit");
        })

        this.classList.add("edit");
    }
})

This code works perfectly fine, but the thing I want to make sure of is why the course owner used the keyword this to add the class edit to the element that was clicked instead of using only the ele parameter. I tried using the parameter ele instead of the this keyword and noticed that the code worked fine.

A: For a handler method the event handled is the parameter. Within such a handler method this will be the global scope the handler is defined within (e.g. button.onclick => the button clicked). , i.e. window.
Note that the scope for a handler method that is an arrow function will always be window.
Furthermore, there is no need for a handler method attached to every p element. Try using event delegation, for example:

document.addEventListener(`click`, handle);

function handle(evt) {
  if (evt.target.classList.contains(`canEdit`)) {
    document.querySelectorAll(`.canEdit`).forEach( el =>
      el.classList.remove(`edit`) );
    evt.target.classList.add(`edit`);
  }
}
.edit {
  color: red;
}

p.canEdit {
  cursor: pointer;
}

Life is a funny thing. It's weird to think that those pictures were taken less than five years ago.
When I was living footloose and fancy free.
My mom used this expression once a few short months ago when she was talking about life before babies and it really stuck.
When I graduated college, the only person I was concerned about was myself. I could go anywhere and be anything I wanted to be and do anything I wanted to because no one depended on me. I was living for me.
Something always felt like it was missing though.
One of my favorite things when I was younger (and still today) was a full house. I come from a small family. One younger sister, my parents didn't have any siblings around after I was born and by 21, I was down to one grandparent. My family is so tiny and I cherish it but those few holidays that we got together with my mom's or dad's cousins were my favorite.
Food for miles, a ton of people constantly in and out, zero silence and at least seven conversations going on at once. Pure bliss. I never wanted it to end. These holidays were what I dreamed my adult life would be life.
Dirty puppy paw prints on the kitchen floor, bags packed with a million car toys, full schedules, bedtime stories. Babies calling me "mama". I've always wanted that big all American family but I was scared to get there so I pushed it away. Now that my hidden dream is becoming a reality in five months, I can finally let go and scream "I CAN'T WAIT TO BE A MAMA"!!! I can't wait for baby breath and elephant tears and tiny fingers and toes. Chubby cheeks, swinging arms, pudgy legs, and onesies. Sticky fingers, long night snuggles, late night rockings, discovering the world. Cries that only a mama can make disappear.
I want it all. And even though the majority of the time I'm thinking about how in the world I'm going to do this, little things make me remember that God is giving us this blessing because He has faith in us.
Oh, and most of all, I'm excited for capturing new traditions on my new video camera Andrew got me for my birthday! Sunday morning church followed by brunch, Friday night movies with homemade popcorn, living room forts, seeing the lights on Candycane Lane at Christmas time, pumpkin carving parties. We're going to make traditions out of everything!
