Q: how to push a csv data to mongodb using python Trying to push csv data in to mongodb using python.i'm a beginner to python & mongodb..i used the following code
import csv
import json
import pandas as pd
import sys, getopt, pprint
from pymongo import MongoClient
#CSV to JSON Conversion
csvfile = open('C://test//final-current.csv', 'r')
jsonfile = open('C://test//6.json', 'a')
reader = csv.DictReader( csvfile )
header= [ "S.No", "Instrument Name", "Buy Price", "Buy Quantity", "Sell Price", "Sell Quantity", "Last Traded Price", "Total Traded Quantity", "Average Traded Price", "Open Price", "High Price", "Low Price", "Close Price", "V" ,"Time"]
#fieldnames=header
output=[]
for each in reader:
    row={}
    for field in header:
        row[field]=each[field]
    output.append(row)

json.dump(output, jsonfile, indent=None, sort_keys=False , encoding="UTF-8")
mongo_client=MongoClient()
db=mongo_client.october_mug_talk
db.segment.drop()
data=pd.read_csv('C://test//6.json', error_bad_lines=0)
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
records = csv.DictReader(df)
db.segment.insert(records)

but the output is given in this format
/* 0 */
{
  "_id" : ObjectId("54891c4ffb2a0303b0d43134"),
  "[{\"AverageTradedPrice\":\"0\"" : "BuyPrice:\"349.75\""
}

/* 1 */
{
  "_id" : ObjectId("54891c4ffb2a0303b0d43135"),
  "[{\"AverageTradedPrice\":\"0\"" : "BuyQuantity:\"3000\""
}

/* 2 */
{
  "_id" : ObjectId("54891c4ffb2a0303b0d43136"),
  "[{\"AverageTradedPrice\":\"0\"" : "ClosePrice:\"350\""
}

/* 3 */
{
  "_id" : ObjectId("54891c4ffb2a0303b0d43137"),
  "[{\"AverageTradedPrice\":\"0\"" : "HighPrice:\"0\""
}

Actually i want the output to like for single id all the other fields should be showed as subtypes
eg:
 _id" : ObjectId("54891c4ffb2a0303b0d43137")
    AveragetradedPrice :0
    HighPrice:0
    ClosePrice:350
    buyprice:350.75

Please help me Out.Thanks in advance

A: Why do you insert data one by one? Take a look at this one.
import pandas as pd
from pymongo import MongoClient

client = MongoClient(<your_credentials>)
database = client['YOUR_DB_NAME']
collection = database['your_collection']

def csv_to_json(filename, header=None):
    data = pd.read_csv(filename, header=header)
    return data.to_dict('records')

collection.insert_many(csv_to_json('your_file_path'))

Please be aware of that it might crash your app when the file is too big.

A: The easiest way is by using pandas
my code is
import json
import pymongo
import pandas as pd
myclient = pymongo.MongoClient()

df = pd.read_csv('yourcsv.csv',encoding = 'ISO-8859-1')   # loading csv file
df.to_json('yourjson.json')                               # saving to json file
jdf = open('yourjson.json').read()                        # loading the json file
data = json.loads(jdf)                                    # reading json file

now you can insert this json in your mangodb database :-]

A: Thank you for the suggestion.This one is the corrected code:
import csv
import json
import pandas as pd
import sys, getopt, pprint
from pymongo import MongoClient
#CSV to JSON Conversion
csvfile = open('C://test//final-current.csv', 'r')
reader = csv.DictReader( csvfile )
mongo_client=MongoClient()
db=mongo_client.october_mug_talk
db.segment.drop()
header= [ "S No", "Instrument Name", "Buy Price", "Buy Quantity", "Sell Price", "Sell Quantity", "Last Traded Price", "Total Traded Quantity", "Average Traded Price", "Open Price", "High Price", "Low Price", "Close Price", "V" ,"Time"]

for each in reader:
    row={}
    for field in header:
        row[field]=each[field]

    db.segment.insert(row)

A: There is a better way with less number of imports, assuming you have a header row in your CSV.
from pymongo import MongoClient
import csv

# DB connectivity
client = MongoClient('localhost', 27017)
db = client.db
collection = db.collection

# Function to parse csv to dictionary
def csv_to_dict():
    reader = csv.DictReader(open(FILEPATH))
    result = {}
    for row in reader:
        key = row.pop('First_value')
        result[key] = row
    return query

# Final insert statement
db.collection.insert_one(csv_to_dict())

Hope that helps

A:     from pymongo import MongoClient
    import csv
    import json
    # DB connectivity
    client = MongoClient('localhost', 27017)
    db = client["database name"]
    col = db["collection"]
    # Function to parse csv to dictionary
    def csv_to_dict():
        reader = csv.DictReader(open('File with path','r'))
        result = {}
        for row in reader:
            key = row.pop('id')
            result[key]= row
        return result

    # Final insert statement
    x=col.insert_one(csv_to_dict())
            print(x.inserted_id)

# to insert one row

#and to insert many rows following code is to be executed
from pymongo import MongoClient
import csv
# read csv file as a list of lists
client = MongoClient('localhost', 27017)
db = client["data base name"]
col = db["Collection Name"]
with open('File with path', 'r') as read_obj:
    # pass the file object to reader() to get the reader object
    csv_reader = csv.DictReader(read_obj)
    # Pass reader object to list() to get a list of lists
    mylist = list(csv_reader)
    #print(list_of_rows)
    x = col.insert_many(mylist)

    #print list of the _id values of the inserted documents:
    print(x.inserted_ids)


A step by step video guide for builders of the popular Zenith CH601XL and CH650 aircraft kit.
This DVD is a double disk volume in a series of videos being developed to cover the entire build process for the CH601XL kit. FUSELAGE Part 1 is a great starting place to begin your CH601/CH650 project – there are no prerequisite assemblies that need to be completed before starting. To get started, you only need a legal set of plans for the aircraft and at least the fuselage sub kit from Zenith. The FUSELAGE Part 1 DVD takes you from the very beginning steps to completing the rear section, the floor, and the firewall components of the aircraft fuselage.
There are differences between the 601XL and the 650 fuselage construction. While in many instances these videos will help you with the 650, they were originally filmed building the 601XL version. You should be aware and review your plans carefully to identify these differences between the two airframes.
Wow! Having viewed them, it is difficult to imagine building without them. As a first time builder I clearly will enter into this project with a confidence I would not otherwise have had.
Well done ... I anxiously await the rest of the series.
Don't rivet these brackets until the stabilizer is completed and mounted!

Chonburi (Thai: ชลบุรี ) is a province (changwat) of Thailand.[2] Neighboring provinces are (from north clockwise) Chachoengsao, Chanthaburi, and Rayong. To the west is the Gulf of Thailand. Chonburi is home to Thailand's largest tourist oriented city, Pattaya (also spelled Phatthaya), it is the only province outside the Bangkok Metropolitan Area to connect by eight lane motorway to Bangkok, 80 km distant. It is home to Thailand's largest and primary seaport, it has a thriving migrant and expat population. Due to these factors, the province's population is growing rapidly, with currently some 1.7 million residents (albeit with a large floating or unregistered population).[3] The registered population as of 31 December 2012 was 1.36 million[4]

From historical evidence, Mueang Chonburi has been settled since sometime during the Ayutthaya period of Thai history. The region for centuries was one of small towns such as Bang Sai, Bang Pla Soi, and Bang Phra. King Rama V combined these to form Chonburi Province.
The word "chon" originates from the Sanskrit word "jala" meaning water, and the word "buri" from Sanskrit "puri" meaning "town" or "city". Hence the name of the province literally means "city of water".
The province is on the Bay of Bangkok, the northern end of the Gulf of Thailand. The Khao Khiao mountain range stretches from the northwest to the southeast of the province, while the fertile plains of the north were long used for farming. In Laem Chabang, in the south of the province, is one of the few deep-water harbours of Thailand.
The provincial permanent legal population has risen at nearly 4% annually from 1,040,865 in 2000 to 1,554,365 in 2010.[3] There is a large floating population of long term residents (non-Thai) without permanent status, on perpetual tourist visa and/or migrant workers (legal or not), as well as heavy, short term tourist influxes.

There has been heavy investment in the tourist city of Pattaya, the nation's primary port of Laem Chabang (at Si Ratcha), the Bangkok-Pattaya motorway, and Suvarnabhumi airport (outside but close to the province). Pattaya is the destination of local and international tourism alike within the province, which has seen a spike in skyscrapers and malls. Some nine million visitors to the province were recorded in 2012, of which 6.1 million were from abroad, the largest of these being Russians with 2.2 million visitors.[6] The character of the city has been changing from "sin city" to one which caters to all visitors including families, albeit the "sin city" continues its seemingly unstoppable growth. In addition the nationality of visitors to Pattaya and environs has been changing, with a surge of Chinese in the past five years, as well as migrant workers from Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar, as opposed to being formerly dominated by Westerners and Thais.
Besides Pattaya, neighboring cities such as Banglamung, Si Ratcha, and even Muang Chonburi itself have developed over the past decade supporting a larger middle class and a "long-stay" expat population.

The Chonburi Buffalo Race festival started more than 100 years ago.[7] Usually, the races will be complemented with booths selling locally made items, stage performances, games and beauty contests.[8] The annual Buffalo Race, held around the 11th lunar month, normally in October. It takes seven days and takes place on the field in front of the city and provincial government offices. The highlight of the festival is the buffalo race which is on the last two days. This race is 100 meters– long. The prize for the first nose past the finish line is a trophy and some money.[9]

There has been a significant shift in Russia's threat perceptions and security policies in the High North. In contrast with the Cold War era, when the Arctic was a zone for global confrontation between the Soviet Union and the United States/NATO, this region is now seen by Moscow as a platform for international cooperation. Russia now believes that there are no serious hard security threats to it and that the soft security agenda is much more important. Russia's military power has new functions, such as ascertaining Russian sovereignty over its exclusive economic zone and continental shelf in the region, protecting Moscow's economic interests in the High North, and performing some other symbolic functions. Moscow believes that the regional cooperative agenda could include climate change mitigation, environmental protection, maritime safety, Arctic research, Indigenous peoples, cross- and trans-border cooperative projects, culture, etc.

The day after the 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship ends in Buffalo is the day the U18 Women's World Championship begins in Dmitrov in the Moscow Region.
Russia is hosting the event for the first time in the eleven-year history of the tournament, but all signs point to a United States-Canada gold-medal game. Given that each of the previous ten final games have been contested between these two powerhouses, little is expected to change in Dmitrov, even though host Russia and other teams would be eager to change thiis.
Canada won the WW18 three years running (2012, 2013, 2014), but when Joel Johnson took over as head coach of the Americans, he put together the same hat trick of victories, caped by a 3-1 win over Canada last year in Zlin, Czech Republic. Johnson will be back looking for number four in early 2018.
Canada, meanwhile, has opted for change. Out is coach Troy Ryan and in is former national-team player Delaney Collins. She served as an assistant in 2015 and 2017, but she now has the daunting task of prying gold from the firm grip of the U.S.
Russia beat Sweden, 2-0, to win bronze in 2017, but that team was a veteran team with few players eligible to return in 2018. The same can be said for Sweden, a team that managed to score but six goals in as many games last year.
Finland has had such great success in the senior Women's Worlds but has managed only a single bronze medal in WW18 history (back in 2011). Last year Suomi finished a disappointing fifth and had only one player in the top 15 of scoring (Petra Nieminen, who also won't be returning).
The Czech Republic finished 6th last year and, despite a chronic lack of scoring, managed to stay up again (they have never been demoted in WW18 play). Their task won't be any easier this year, though, as the fight for goals among the third to eighth teams has gotten all the stronger in recent years.
Switzerland avoided demotion by sweeping Japan in the best-of-three relegation round. Indeed, Lisa Ruedi led the tournament in goals with five, although three game in one relegation game. Nonetheless, she'll be back with the Swiss this year hoping to avoid the elimination round and instead fighting for a medal.
Japan finished eighth last year and will play down in Division I-A this year.
Germany has been exiled to Division I-A for the last four years, but a huge 2-0 win over Slovakia during last year's lower division battle helped propel the Germans back to the top for the first time since 2013. Franziska Feldmeier had a goal and an assist in that critical game but is now too old to return.
In the end, though, the greatest drama will likely play out among the North Americans, rival in 2008 in the tournament's first edition, and rivals evermore in 2018 in the eleventh. The difference between winning and losing always seems to be one error, one power play, one blocked shot.
Dmitrov, one of the top cities in Russian women's hockey, will see some great women's hockey at the teen level early in the New Year. Check out the tournament website for coverage and a live stream.

No State Fair? No worries! How to deep-fry sweets at home
Updated: Aug. 28, 2020, 12:19 a.m. |
Deep-fried Oreos (bottom) along with a deep-fried Twix, (upper left) and deep-fried cheesecake (upper right) from The Shamrock about 10 years ago.
Charlie Miller | cmiller@syracuse.com
(This is the final installment of a series that brought State Fair food to you. Believe it or not, you can make some of your favorite Fair foods at home. We asked Fair vendors their secret to making their signature foods. While they wouldn't divulge their recipes, they let us in on a few of their secrets. We then tried it ourselves.)
Syracuse, N.Y. — We saved the sweetest, most fattening and probably the most dangerous State Fair food for last.
Over the past month, we've grilled steak, chicken and gyro meat. We smoked turkey drumsticks. We've blended wine and fruit. We also came pretty close to copying the best waffles in the whole world.
Now it's time to deep-fry some sweet stuff. We're going to take a page right out of the Shamrock Tavern's State Fair cookbook. (One of these days, owner Steve Sommers might actually publish such a manual, and it's sure to be a best-seller.)
"What have we fried over the years? It's more like 'What HAVEN'T we fried,' over the years," said Sommers, who's run the Shamrock Tavern stand at the Fair since the early 1990s. "We've done candy bars, Spam, pie. You name it. But it all started with Oreos."
Indeed it does, so that's what we started with.
Everything you need to deep-fry stuff at home.Charlie Miller | cmiller@syracuse.com
The first lesson when deep-frying at home is to not be intimidated. We State Fair civilians are used to letting others deal with the hot oil in those industrial-strength appliances. Most of us don't have those at home.
Worry not. All you really need is a stove top, a deep pan and a thermometer.
Oh, and a fire extinguisher.
Earlier in the month, I tried making pizze fritte in my kitchen. It ended up being an oily mess, and while the fried dough tasted pretty good, it was nothing like the real thing made at the Villa stand. A reader — Mike from Westvale — felt sorry for me and suggested I try this round of deep-frying in his back yard, using the side burner on his propane grill. I gladly took Mike from Westvale up on his offer because I just couldn't stomach waking up to the smell of dirty oil for another week.
I showed up with a gallon of canola oil, a basket full of junk food and some kitchen utensils. Sommers suggests heating the oil to 375 degrees. We tried, but it was taking too long so we topped out at 350.
For the batter, we used New Hope Mills pancake mix, a premium product made in Auburn. Sommers' batter contains flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and malt vinegar.
A few deep-frying experts shared two rules for the whole process: keep the batter thick so it sticks to the main ingredient, and refrigerate whatever it is you're cooking up.
"If you skip that step, you'll be sorry," Sommers said. "You don't want it to melt or fall apart, so it needs to be cold."
Mike from Westvale thoroughly coated each chilled cookie with the thick batter and gently lowered each one into the oil, one by one, waving the cookie back and forth so the dripping dough didn't break apart and create curly fries that tasted like pancakes.
Deep-frying Oreo cookies at home.Charlie Miller | cmiller@syracuse.com
These cooked quickly. We flipped them after a minute, when it was clearly turning golden. The second side browned in 30 seconds. We skimmed them out, put them on a drying rack and sprinkled them with powdered sugar.
The first batch lost a lot of the coating because, as we were warned by all the experts out there, the batter was too watery. The subsequent batch, I'm happy to report, was true State Fair quality.
"I doubt that," Sommers said.
No, it really was. They just didn't look as good as the Shamrock's Oreo cookies.
Deep-fried Oreo cookies at home.Charlie Miller | cmiller@syracuse.com
From there, we moved to deep-fried Twinkies. Mike from Westvale followed the same process, coating the cold Hostess cream-filled sponge treat with extra-thick pancake batter and swirling it into the oil bath. After 90 seconds, we had a Twinkie that was truly better than any Twinkie to come out of a box. Hostess should deep fry all of their Twinkies.
We then tried Pop Tarts (one iced strawberry and one iced brown sugar). Then it was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. To save time, we fried frozen pre-made Uncrustables PB&Js. They all held their form, and they all pretty much tasted like deep-fried sugar.
Deep-fried Pop Tarts at home.Charlie Miller | cmiller@syracuse.com
We saved the worst for the last. Who knew that candy bars could be so difficult to deep-fry? Mike from Westvale certainly didn't, but we tried anyway.
We thought we had given them a thick-enough coating of batter before dropping them into the oil. The problem, though, was that after an hour of cooking stuff, the oil dropped in temperature. We should've waited for it to heat back to 350 (or 375 if we wanted to truly do it right).
While the oil wasn't quit hot enough, it was hot enough to melt the chocolate off of the end of the Twix bars. Or maybe that was the Kit Kat. We couldn't tell. They looked and tasted the same after coming out of the oil and getting doused with powdered sugar.
The good news in all of this was that we didn't have to use Mike from Westvale's fire extinguisher, and we learned how to deep-fry stuff.
There's even some better news: Sommers will be back at the State Fair with some new items on the Shamrock menu.
"We've been working on some fun stuff already," he said. "We had hoped to show it off this year, but it can wait. It'll be worth it."
Yes, it will be.

Guillermo del Toro has had a mixed year, but his next film looks poised to turn it all around for the auteur. Several months ago, del Toro polled his Twitter followers to drum up excitement for Hellboy 3, though he was forced to post only weeks later that a third film in his superhero franchise would never arrive. Meanwhile, his animated Netflix series, Trollhunters, was picked up for more episodes.
del Toro's next foray into monsters, The Shape of Water, now has an official release date which nestles it right into the center of Oscar season.
The Shape of Water follows a janitor (Sally Hawkins) working in a government facility in 1963 who discovers and falls in love with an aquatic creature (Doug Jones). Jones, famous for playing physically demanding "creature" roles, has starred in Mimic, Hellboy, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Pan's Labyrinth, Crimson Peak, and The Strain.
This will not be del Toro's first foray into aquatic-based stories, as El Espinazo del Diablo, El Orfanato, Pan's Labyrinth, and both Hellboy films feature scenes set underwater, or else use rain and bodies of water.

Q: Issue with the flash fallback of VideoJs with Firefox I have try to add videoJs to my site to play MP4 files, all works perfectly in Chrome but when I go to Firefox (which doesn't support MP4 files) the flash player stay on a black screen and buttons do nothing.
Simple question: why?
I don't understand, websites like vine.co or instagram use videoJs with no issue but for me this is not the case.
So I tried to change the tech order, now Flash always try to read the video but even on chrome nothing append.
This is my test code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>test</title>

    <script type='text/javascript' src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js'></script>
    <script src="http://vjs.zencdn.net/4.0/video.js"></script>
    <script>
      videojs.options.flash.swf = "video-js.swf"
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <video id="video" src="http://domain.com/flash/video.mp4" control></video>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        jQuery(function() {
            var player = videojs('video', {"controls": true, "autoplay": false, "preload": "auto", "techOrder": ["flash", "html5"]});
            console.log(player);
        });
    </script>
</body>
</html>

All the files (the swf player, the MP4 video, and the html file) are in the same folder named 'flash'.
Can you help me?

A: A few things to try here:

*

*Make sure you're loading the video-js css file.

*Add the "video-js" and skin classes to your video object as described here (also, it is "controls", not "control"): https://github.com/videojs/video.js/blob/0020ba15b9ae2b60e51d4d8d2751ffa31d18694d/docs/guides/setup.md

*If you're loading video js from the CDN, you don't need to set the flash.swf option. That may be causing an issue as well.

You shouldn't need to set the techOrder to get Firefox to behave, and you definitely don't need a corresponding video file for each type of "Tech". Flash will play the fallback in mp4 as long as it's above version 9 or so.
I did run into an issue on Firefox where the Flash fallback would play the video but the video would be blank (audio would play) when I included a "ready" event. I was able to get around this by firing a blur event on the $(this) object. That may be helpful to you if you need to use ready.

A: You need a flv Version of your Video when you want to deliver it through flash.
It could be usefull to offer another webm Version of your Video. This should bei played in Firefox and Chrome.
For every Tech you need the correspondenting videofile.

The most common abnormal cardiac arrhythmia leading to hospitalization with a major cause of strokes is atrial fibrillation. The upper chamber beats very rapidly and irregular and can be associated with significant symptoms at times due to the irregular rhythm with fast and or slow rates and in some patients due to loss of the atrial kick. Treatment options include rate control in some patients and rhythm control using medication and or ablation therapy (catheter as well as surgical). The major treatment issue is prevention of strokes or other embolism by utilizing anti-platelet therapy (aspirin, or plavix) or with anticoagulation with warfarin or newer agents such as dabigatran (Pradaxa). Another treatment option for embolic protection is occlusion of a structure called the left atrial appendage where clots can form. This can be accomplished with catheter based approach (still investigational) or minimally invasive surgical procedure (performed at BHH).
This is a more organized but a very rapid rhythm of the upper chambers of the heart. This arrhythmia does not respond well to medical therapy but can be managed using a relatively straight forward low risk catheter ablation and does require attention with regard to the risk for stroke.
Rapid tachycardias originating from the upper chambers of the heart can be caused due to an abnormal focus in the heart or due to a "short circuit" in the normal conduction system and in some patients an extra connection (bypass tract / Wolf Parkinson White) of muscle between the upper and lower chambers. These arrhythmias can at times be managed with medical therapy but in some cases may require electrophysiology study and catheter ablation therapy.
These are arrhythmias from the lower chambers of the heart. In some patients they produce only symptoms and in others they can cause cardiac arrest or be markers for a risk of cardiac arrest. Patients may require testing to exclude coronary artery blockages, to evaluate valvular function and overall "pump" function of the heart. Some patients may require medical therapy while others may require a defibrillator (ICD) implantation.

Table based on class Cars

A: In your template, the variable mark.cars is currently undefined. To use it, you have to add related_name="cars" to the definition of the ForeignKey field in your class Cars:
class Cars(models.Model):
    # ...
    mark = models.ForeignKey(Marks, on_delete=models.CASCADE, related_name="cars")
    # ...

Alternatively, you could reference mark.cars_set in your template, as cars_set would be the default for related_name chosen by Django.
The official documentation has a pretty good explanation and examples of what exactly is going on: Link

Q: Efficiently drawing large number of polygons with OpenGL? I'm currently using opengl to draw a several thousand polygons and it's running very slow. It takes apx 100 ms to draw 8000 polygons.
Here is some info about my set-up:

*

*I have each object in my 3d field set as a collection of 2d polygon planes, so a square would consist of 6, 4-vertex planes. So I do have access to each individual plane.

*I cannot guarantee that each polygon will have the same number of vertices

*I'm currently drawing as follows:
for(allPlanes){
  glBegin(GL_POLYGON);
   for(allPointsInThePlane){
       glVertex(pointX,pointY,pointZ);
    }
  glEnd();
}

This is much slower than I expected and I have looked into using glDrawElements() instead and breaking the polygon planes into triangles and using trianglefans or strips to draw them.
Im just looking for some advice on the most efficient way to do this, or any criticism on the way I'm approaching the drawing.

A: Triangulate everything and toss the triangles into a big VA/VBO.
EDIT: GLUtesselator wrapper:
struct TessContext
{
    ~TessContext()
    {
        for( size_t i = 0; i < combined.size(); ++i )
        {
            delete[] combined[i];
        }
    }

    vector< Eigen::Vector2d > pts;
    vector< GLdouble* > combined;
};

#define APIENTRY __stdcall

void APIENTRY tess_begin( GLenum type ) {}
void APIENTRY tess_edgeFlag( GLboolean flag ) {}
void APIENTRY tess_end() {}

void APIENTRY tess_vertex( void *data, TessContext* ctx )
{
    GLdouble* coord = (GLdouble*)data;
    ctx->pts.push_back( Eigen::Vector2d( coord[0], coord[1] ) );
}

void APIENTRY tess_combine( GLdouble coords[3], void *vertex_data[4], GLfloat weight[4], void **outData, TessContext* ctx )
{
    GLdouble* newVert = new GLdouble[3];
    ctx->combined.push_back( newVert );

    newVert[0] = coords[0];
    newVert[1] = coords[1];
    newVert[2] = coords[2];
    *outData = newVert;
}

    (
    const vector< Vec >& aSimplePolygon
    )

    {
        coords.push_back( aSimplePolygon[i].x() );
        coords.push_back( aSimplePolygon[i].y() );
        coords.push_back( 0 );
    }

    GLUtesselator* tess = gluNewTess();
    //gluTessProperty( tess, GLU_TESS_WINDING_RULE, GLU_TESS_WINDING_ODD );
    //gluTessProperty( tess, GLU_TESS_WINDING_RULE, GLU_TESS_WINDING_NONZERO );

    gluTessCallback( tess, GLU_TESS_BEGIN,          (GLvoid (APIENTRY *)())    tess_begin      );

    gluTessCallback( tess, GLU_TESS_COMBINE_DATA,   (GLvoid (APIENTRY *)())    tess_combine    );
    gluTessNormal( tess, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0 );

    TessContext ctx;

    gluTessBeginPolygon( tess, &ctx );
    gluTessBeginContour( tess );

    for( size_t i = 0; i < aSimplePolygon.size(); ++i )
    {
        gluTessVertex( tess, &coords[i*3], &coords[i*3] );
    }

    gluTessEndContour( tess );
    gluTessEndPolygon( tess );

    gluDeleteTess(tess);

    vector< Vec > ret( ctx.pts.size() );
    for( size_t i = 0; i < ret.size(); ++i )
    {
        ret[i].x() = ctx.pts[i].x();
        ret[i].y() = ctx.pts[i].y();
    }

    return ret;
}

Uses Eigen but not for anything interesting.

A: glDrawArrays() or glDrawElements() (or glDrawRangeElements()) are the preferred way, and also the only non-deprecated one. Immediate mode (your example) is the slowest and the least preferred method, useful mostly for OpenGL tutorials and (in my own experience) debugging. There are also display lists, "macros" for OpenGL that are only one step above using the immediate mode for drawing, and vertex buffer objects (VBOs).
Any, except the immediate mode, should be sufficiently fast for your needs.

A: Yes using Triangulation (which is a special case of tessellation) to compute the points and then drawing them is the preferred way (you used immediate mode which is deprecated)
The current graphics architecture uses shaders

So instead of sending a small set of vertices each time between the processor and GPU you should,

*

*Process all the vertices at once save it to a data structure and send this to the gpu

*Draw it at once (using glDraw*() functions),
This is faster because

*

*The entire array is calculated only once and is Retained in the data structure so that it can be reused

*The data is then sent completely to the GPU memory where further operations can be performed without any additional bottleneck of data transfers and associated overhead (by using Programmable shaders)

Send the member a message before the call.
Once you schedule a call, sending a message to the member asking if they can message back with some bullet points of any topics, questions or background info really helps economize your time on the call together. To send a message, go to your Calls > Click on the call > Click "Send A Message" > Type the message in the Inbox > Hit "Send"
"I'm looking forward to our call. I've found that if you put together a few bullet points and message me back with them before the call really helps our short time together more productive. That way, I can scan for additional context on your situation, look at some challenges you may be facing, as well as your specific questions before the call. Talk soon!"
It's good to start with some small talk to break the ice. Get comfortable, but move on as quickly as naturally possible to the meaty part of the conversation. Remember, for them, time is money.
It's easy to overbook yourself - not cool to do this when a member is paying for your time. Block off your schedule. The member might be on a tight budget, and she's putting it all on you with this call. Getting on the call while racing around, going through dead spots and dropping the call every 3 minutes isn't good. Most experts find it best to get ready 10 minutes prior to the call and get ready in a distraction-free location with good reception.
Move at a good pace.
If you're going over a lot of new information with the member, be careful not to go too fast. They may be scrambling to take notes, and if you're flying too fast, they may lose track.
If there's time left on the call, verify with the member that you've covered everything. If you feel that it was a good conversation, and you wouldn't mind having another Clarity call with them, tell them so. Suggest a Team Call if you think it would help.
Connecting with and helping another person over the phone is a great experience when things go well. We hope these points help you have great Clarity calls. It'd be great to hear a success story or two from you. If you have one you'd like to share, shoot us an email at support@clarity.fm and keep us posted!

Q: Program crashes on startup with ImageBrush I'm trying to create a very simple window with an ImageBrush background in Visual Studio 2013 as a test for a more complex project. The image shows up in the designer, but the program crashes when I start it up. Here's the XAML:
<Window x:Class="BackgroundTest.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Grid Name="grid1">
        <Grid.Background>
            <ImageBrush ImageSource="/Images\Koala.jpg" Stretch="Fill"/>
        </Grid.Background>
    </Grid>
</Window>

And the basically empty C# (like I said, just a test):
using System;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;

namespace BackgroundTest
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
    /// </summary>
    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }
    }
}

I'm positive it has something to do with the ImageBrush, if I delete that part of the XAML the program will run a blank window as expected. Can anyone help me get this running?
Here's the debug output:
A first chance exception of type 'System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException' occurred in PresentationFramework.dll
Additional information: 'Provide value on 'System.Windows.Baml2006.TypeConverterMarkupExtension' threw an exception.' Line number '7' and line position '14'.

A: The build action of your image may be set to Content. Change it to be a Resource instead.

A: Got it! I added the image to the program's resources by right-clicking the solution name in the solution explorer -> Properties -> Resources -> Add Resource -> Add Existing file and selecting the picture of the Koala. I changed the code in the XAML to:
ImageSource="Resources/Koala.jpg"

Taking Eric's advice I clicked on Resources in the Solution explorer, and sure enough the picture was there and I was able to change the build action to Resource. After that it worked perfectly, thanks Eric! I'll check your answer as soon as I have enough reputation. I'm fairly new to stack overflow.

A: You have a backslash in your image source...
Assuming that Images is a folder in your solution your image source should be:
Source="../Images/Koala.jpg"

Or even better:
Source="pack://application:,,,/Images/Koala.jpg"

A: Had the same problem. Right click on the image and select properties
change the Build Action to Resource and save your project.

How Cities Will Save the Rainforest With Floating Production!
We're pleased to share the Seasteading Institute(TSI)'s Guest Blog article written by Rutger De Graaf-van Dinther. Rutger is the co-founder of DeltaSync and Blue21, which are determined to realize the first sustainable floating islands in French Polynesia. His scientific vision is also featured in the Seasteading book published by Joe Quirk.
How cities will save the rainforests with floating production
Cities use vast areas of agricultural land all over the planet for their energy and food supply. To achieve the Paris climate agreement, even more space is needed to capture all the CO2 that cities produce. By implementing floating algae production systems, cities can find this space and even save huge areas of agricultural land. This is shown by a recent study of Blue21, Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences and TU Delft who evaluated the potential of these systems in two very different coastal cities: Rotterdam and Manila. Rotterdam can save 12 times its own area. For Manila, 74 times the city area in agricultural land can be saved. These particular saved areas do not have to be created by cutting rainforest or cultivating other nature areas. Therefore, if coastal cities all over the world would start using floating production, the world's rainforest can be saved.
Cities: from parasites to solution space
Cities are still huge importers of resources such as food, while they mainly produce waste. Citizens in urban areas also account for the majority of global greenhouse gas emissions. This so-called parasitic metabolism causes various environmental problems such as air and water pollution, CO2 emissions and a high dependency on global networks for critical resources. However, the concentration of people and industries in large cities also make cities a unique solution space for technological innovations. A promising solution for cities to use waste as a resource is using wastewater and CO2 in algae systems to produce biofuel. Algae can fix carbon up to 50 times as fast as land based vegetation. However, in dense urban environments, the space for these systems is often scarce and expensive. The water offers a new perspective here because it can provide the required space for floating algae systems, in particular in coastal cities where a large part of the urban population is located.
How floating algae systems can make a difference
The study of Dal Bo Zanon et al (2017) published in the Journal of Cleaner Production shows how floating algae systems can change the urban parasitic metabolism. Two very different coastal cities were used as case study: the city of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, as developed coastal city and the city of Manila, the Philippines as rapidly developing coastal city. Figure 1 demonstrates the system. Nutrients from domestic wastewater and CO2 emissions from industries are used in open algae ponds with selective environments to encourage the most productive algae (Mooij et al., 2013). The fats that algae produce are used for biofuel production. The proteins are used to feed fish in so-called aquaponics systems. In these systems, the waste excrements of the fish are used for cultivation of fruits and vegetables. Because food and energy production on the water is much more efficient than on land, space on land is saved and CO2 emissions of the cities are reduced.
Towards circular coastal cities
How much food can floating algae systems produce? The calculation model of Dal Bo Zanon shows that cities can produce a large part of their own food. This is contrary to current practice in which cities import almost everything. By using all waste nutrients, floating algae systems can supply 29% of the total vegetal consumption and 20% of the total protein consumption of the city of Rotterdam. For Manila, floating algae systems can provide 22% of the city's vegetal consumption and 37% of the total protein consumption. Moreover, the model shows that floating production in Rotterdam can be at least 130 times as efficient as land based agriculture. For Manila, the efficiency is even better: to achieve the same food production on land, 189 times as much space would be needed.
Figure 1. How CO2 and wastewater can be productively used by cities (Source: Blue21/ Dal Bo Zanon et al., 2017)
Now we have proven the benefits of floating production systems on paper, we want to demonstrate it in practice. The next step is the design and realization of a real-time monitored floating production pilot project to recycle wastewater and CO2 and produce energy and food. For this purpose we are looking for coastal cities all over the world to build the pilot and help them to become more resilient for climate change.

MARIN tests first floating mega island
Image source: MARIN
In co-operation with Blue21, MARIN has carried out some impressive tests last week!
Please read MARIN's press release herebelow:
Floating ports and cities possible solutions to sea level rise and overcrowded cities.
Last week MARIN (Maritime Research Institute) tested an innovative concept for a floating
mega island. The island comprises 87 large floating triangles that are flexibility connected to
one another. Together they form a flexible floating island that can be as large as 1 to 5 km in
cross-section.
Olaf Waals, project manager and the concept developer: "As sea level rises, cities become
overcrowded and more activities are carried out at sea, raising the dikes and reclaiming land
from the seas are perhaps no longer an effective solution. An innovative alternative that fits
with the Dutch maritime tradition is floating ports and cities."
Floating mega islands offer future-proof living and working space at sea for:
• Developing, generating, storing, and maintaining sustainable energy (offshore wind,
tidal energy, wave energy and floating solar panels);
• Loading and transhipping cargo in coastal areas where there is little infrastructure;
• Cultivating food, such as seaweed and fish;
• Building houses and recreation close to the water.
These types of solutions are part of the Blue Future in which the seas and oceans (70% of
the earth's surface area) are used sustainably.
The technological challenges are enormous. How do we develop floating mega structures
that are strong and safe enough to withstand winds and currents? How can these systems
be connected together and to the seabed? What is the extent of an island's motion, and
what effect does this have on the people who live and work on the island? How can we
organise traffic and transport?
But there are also ecological issues. What is the effect of a large floating community on the
water under and around it? How can we make the system cyclic in terms of water, energy,
raw materials and waste?
MARIN is carrying out this research using computer simulations and model tests in its
Offshore Basin (40 x 40 m) in which wind, waves and currents can be simulated at scale.

Collaboration with MARIN: exploring the potentials of floating city design and connections
Blue21 has recently collaborated with MARIN, Maritime Research Institute Netherlands, to bring the concept of floating cities to the next level. MARIN has developed a numerical model that can predict the response of different floating design configurations in waves. Meanwhile, Blue21 has investigated into different possibilities of floating city design configuration and connections. This model turns out to suit the interests of both parties very well as Blue21 could learn more about hydrodynamic interactions between connections at sea in several model tests and MARIN could use the results from model tests to validate the response of the floating island.

Floating PV boom era has started!

Recently many countries facing land scarcity issues have resorted to building PV systems on water as an innovative and less costly way to create extra "space" for generating renewable energy. Floating PV system refers to the installation of solar PV modules on a structure that afloats on water bodies that have lower human accessibility and/or where water conservation is needed, such as retention ponds of wastewater treatment plants, lakes or reservoirs etc.. The benefits of floating PV systems are multifaceted. For instance, a floating PV system has higher power generation efficiency than land-based PV system due to natural evaporative cooling effects from the water. Moreover, by covering a certain percentage of the water body with the PV system, water quality can be improved as less photosynthesis takes place in the water which lowers the risk of having algae bloom.
The first floating PV installation was tested in California in 2007. And globally, there were only three floating PV systems being built before 2014, according to Solarplaza, an independent website platform for knowledge and insights on global solar PV industry. Nevertheless, over the past two years, the amount has escalated to exceeding 70. In particular, it is believed that currently Japan and UK have taken the lead in building testing floating solar farms by far. However, many realizations and new proposals have been in the pipeline elsewhere in the world.
In October, 2016, Singapore launched the world's largest floating solar PV system test bed where 10 different solar PV systems would be tested and monitored in order to select the one of best performance for scaling up. This year, new pilot projects have been launched in India and Hong Kong. Not long ago this month, China has also just completed the world's largest floating PV facility and connected it to the local power grid. A market research firm has even concluded that the market of floating solar panels is expected to reach 2.5 GW globally by 2024, leading people to believe that the floating PV boom era might have started!

Blue21's article 'A Blue Quantum Leap' published by Water Governance Magazine, STOWA
We are pleased to announce that our article Een Blauwe Kwantumsprong: Welke Governance Opties Hebben We? [A Blue Quantum Leap: What Governance Options Do We Have?] written by co-founder of Blue21, Dr. Rutger de Graaf-van Dinther, was accepted for publication on the Water Governance Magazine, under the theme Energietransitie [Energy Transition].
In this article, large development and revolutions in humanity are discussed. Within the history of humanity and its revolutions, the 'Blue Revolution' aims at providing a comprehensive and innovative approach to urban spatial planning, creating opportunities for natural conservation, sustainable food and energy production while tackling global crises such as climate change, overpopulation and land shortage. The question of how to manage such new water-based development within the current complex social hierarchy and governance structures is discussed.
Dr. de Graaf-van Dinther explains the three phases in the "Blue Quantum Leap". Phase I describes a floating community begins developing within an existing urban governance structures. In Phase 2 the community grows into a floating district along the coast of a country, where it is controlled as a regular municipality. In Phase 3, the floating district eventually evolves into an autonomous floating city outside the territorial waters. Within the newly developed societies, the concept of "competitive governance strategy" and the rights for people to migrate freely should be universally respected.

The First International Conference on Floating Islands will take place next week in Tahiti. From 15th to 18th May dozens of technologists, entrepreneurs and researchers in the field of sustainable development will come together to share their knowledge and visions on creating the first floating islands in the world in French Polynesia.
Earlier this year The Seasteading Institute and the Government of French Polynesia signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate on creating a legal framework for prospective seasteads in French Polynesia. The Floating Island Project aims at advancing French Polynesia's blue economy initiative, offering solutions to adapt to rising sea levels and creating a fresh space for pioneering social innovations.
Blue21 is collaborating with The Seasteading Institute on the Floating Island Project and will be present at the event. Co-founders Bart Roeffen and Karina Czapiewska will introduce an innovative environmental assessment framework for floating development that aims at creating climate-proof space for communities while providing benefits for local ecosystems. Curious? Follow Blue21's presentation and other inspiring talks livestream on May 15, 16 & 18, 2017 (Tahiti time, UTC-10:00).
