Virtual Reality Filmmaking Coming to Emerson's Boston Campus

Next semester, Associate Professor of Visual and Media Arts Daniel Gaucher will be teaching his film students to forget about what they've learned so far.
In the spring, he will begin offering a course in immersive filmmaking—something he's been working on over the last few years and has taught as directed study in the past. It will be the first formal "virtual reality" class offered on Emerson's Boston campus (Emerson Los Angeles launched one in Spring 2016).
"It's quite difficult as a medium, because it breaks the rules," Gaucher said.
As someone whose professional background is in editing, Gaucher said he has had to be fully aware of all the formulas and rules that make good traditional filmmaking. For instance, the editor will use a particular sequence of shots called "formula editing" (wide shot, medium shot, over-the-shoulder, close up) to build intimacy for an audience, he said.
With immersive filmmaking and virtual reality, "we have to think of ways to get that same psychological reaction now without so many edits, and without being able to manipulate the camera [in the same way]," he said.
(Some definitions: What Gaucher is teaching is more accurately called "immersive filmmaking," where the viewer is positioned in the midst of the action but cannot determine what happens in the film. "Virtual reality" technically refers to experiences in which the viewer has agency. "Augmented reality" is a medium in which virtual reality, or VR, elements are superimposed over actual people/places/things. For the purposes of this article, VR is used as a catchall term.)
Gaucher compared where filmmakers are today with virtual reality with where the 19th-century founding fathers of filmmaking were when they would just stick a camera on the street and record what passed in front of them.
"We're kind of back at the Lumiere Brothers stage," he said.
That might be a bit of an exaggeration. Gaucher, along with Alexandre Echeverri '15, former student Brendan Feeney and some current students, is testing the narrative waters of immersive filmmaking with Maren's Rock, his retelling of the 1873 Smuttynose Island axe murders.
The narrative short being filmed in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, dramatizes the double murder of two Norwegian immigrant women, witnessed by another woman who hid all night in the rocks on the island's edge. A German fisherman was convicted and hanged for the murders.

Gaucher said one thing VR can give an audience that traditional film doesn't is an acute sense of vulnerability.
"There's no place to escape," he said. "If you're watching a movie and something is intense or unpleasant, or for that matter, boring, you can avert your attention away from the frame—when you're immersed in a story, there's no place to go."
Zaji Zabalerio '18 is working with Gaucher on Maren's Rock and is planning to take his immersive filmmaking course in the spring. In addition, he and fellow students Myles Badger '17 and Grayson Kohs '17 run a VR student organization called Stereoscopic that's in the process of getting Student Government Association accreditation.
He said that sense of "being there" is part of what attracted him to the medium and where so much of immersive filmmaking gets its power, particularly with stories based on real (and/or gory) events.
"It really brings the audience to not just a front-row seat, but almost as a witness to the story, and I think that's a really powerful tool to have because in the media today; everyone wants to be a witness," said Zabalerio.

Emerson Moving Ahead
To get the immersive effect, Emerson uses rigs consisting of seven GoPro cameras inside a plastic globe that holds the cameras at different angles, Gaucher said. After a film is shot, it's stitched together with software to make a single movie. He said he also has his eye on equipment that Nikon just came out with, consisting of two back-to-back cameras with fisheye lenses, which are much easier to film with.
There has been a lot of investment in VR technology industry-wide, Gaucher said, but the challenge has been coming up with good content (and then monetizing it). That's where Emerson has an opportunity to shine, he said.
"Emerson is a content creation school; that's what we do for media," he said. "We teach people how to be good narrative storytellers."
John Craig Freeman, a professor in the VMA Department and a visual artist who works in virtual and augmented reality, said that VR and immersive filmmaking have shown that the way we tell stories in the future is "completely up for grabs." That should affect the way students think about their art and the way faculty teach their courses.
"You want [students] thinking in terms of invention itself," Freeman said. "The minute they realize they kind of hold the key to inventing the forms they'll be practicing, that empowers them."
Virtual reality as an artistic tool has been around for nearly 15 years, and it has shown a way forward, narratively, in which stories happen across space, rather than over time, Freeman said, and institutions are eager to try to get out in front of the evolution.
While institutions such as MIT probably have the edge in terms of investment and technology, Emerson, as a center of innovative storytelling, is "well positioned" to move the art forward.
"It's exciting what Dan's doing, and I think students are really ready to take this on," Freeman said. "Emerson represents an interesting kind of confluence at this time."

Everybody goes to search engines to search about their homework or assignments. Search engines allow us to look for relevant information in milliseconds. Basically, internet searching saves more time than finding the best books, magazines, and journals and reading through all their pages.
Despite search engines fast results, some individuals find it hard to locate the most accurate and relevant results.
In searching, you have to key in the most unique and the very specific terms for the topic. If you are looking for information about 'marketing', make sure you specify the details that you want to acquire from the search engine. Add words that will make it more clear, like 'benefits' or 'advantages' of marketing to 'businesses' or 'people'.
Sometimes, when you search for information, the search engines provide you with totally far out results. Well, you can add the minus sign (-) in your search. It is equivalent to a Boolean 'NOT' and can narrow results by removing unwanted and irrelevant information.
You can also use quotation marks to provide you more accurate results. Quotes will allow search engines to look for the exact words in order from all of the web pages. It is one of the most effective ways to limit the pages returned.
Sometimes, you run out of words or ideas to specify your search. Well, look below. Search engines have autocomplete systems that provide you with a list of suggestions from where you can choose. These suggestions are derived from relevant and popular searches. It also saves you time from typing.
Do not include suffixes in searching. Just key in the base word so that the search engines will not exclude relevant pages. For example, if you want to search about 'technological advances', it is better to key in 'technology' only, so search engines may widen its search to relevant sites.
There are many ways on how to customize our searches. For example, you can use plus sign (+) in your query so that search engines return results that include the word 'and'. You can also use the tilde sign (~) which generates results involving synonyms.

Mountain Home ranchers form Rangeland Fire Protection Association
DATE: January 6, 2012 | CATEGORY: Articles
MOUNTAIN HOME, Idaho – (Sept. 11, 2012) – A number of ranchers in Mountain Home have formed Idaho's first Rangeland Fire Protection Association (RFPA), allowing the ranchers to assist the Bureau of Land Management and the Idaho Department of Lands in fighting range fires in one of the most fire-prone areas of the state.
The Idaho Rangeland Resource Commission published a story today on its award-winning web site, www.lifeontherange.org, about the Mountain Home RFPA. Idaho Department of Lands officials encourages ranchers and private landowners elsewhere in southern Idaho to form a similar organizations to help reduce the high incidence of range fires. The region has burned repeatedly over the last three decades.
"In the United States, the most fires are right here, they burn the most ground," notes Wes Wootan, an Elmore County commissioner and Glenns Ferry farmer who was involved in the effort. "Because of that, it's proactive for us to put something together that addresses the issue of first response."
Over the years, ranchers have tried to help the BLM fight range fires on public lands. It's in their interest to prevent rangelands from burning up and losing vital feed for their livestock. Many ranchers have permits from the BLM to graze livestock on public lands during the summer months. The public grasslands provide important summer forage for livestock.
But in recent times, federal policy has prohibited ranchers from fighting fires on public lands for safety and liability reasons. A range fire last year brought things to a flash point.
"We had a fire, a lightning strike that started some ground on fire over by the Blair Trail Reservoir," said Wes Wootan, a Glenns Ferry farmer and Elmore County commissioner. "Two ranchers had it controlled and shut down until the BLM could get there."
When the BLM fire crew showed up, Wootan said, the ranchers "were asked to leave, they did, and that fire that was potentially a 5-15 acre fire grew to a 40,000-acre fire."
So far in the summer of 2012, 227 man-caused and lightning-caused range fires have occurred in southern Idaho, burning a total of 523,095 acres of public and private land, according to the BLM.
Wildfires are bad for Idaho's rangelands because they burn up healthy shrub-steppe habitat such as native perennial grasses and sagebrush that's critical for wildlife such as sage-grouse, a candidate species for listing under the Endangered Species Act, wintering mule deer and other wildlife. In the wake of wildfires, invasive noxious weeds and cheatgrass often sprout quickly and replace perennial grasses, and it can take decades to replant and regrow sagebrush and bitterbrush, officials say.
BLM officials admit that the federal policy regarding whether ranchers could help fighting range fires has been inconsistent. "In the late 80s, ranchers would come to fires and do some suppression work, but they were kind of operating as a stand-alone entity," says Steve Acarregui, fire operations manager for the BLM Boise District. "The feds were doing their own thing, and the ranchers were doing their own thing, which raises a lot of safety concerns. And it was a very unsafe way to suppress a fire."
To form the RFPA, ranchers signed agreements with IDL and BLM to work together, and they received more than 40 hours of wildfire training. The ranchers also had to create a board of directors, form a nonprofit organization, and obtain liability insurance. After completing the training, the ranchers received official firefighting gear, communications equipment, and resources for fighting fires, such as a shiny red fire engine from the Idaho Dept. of Lands.
Wootan is pleased to see the RFPA come together in a year's time. "We brought all of the entities together to end up with a positive situation that addressed everyone's issues," he said.
It turns out that RFPA's are provided for in Idaho state code, similar to timber protection associations that were formed in many parts of northern Idaho decades ago to assist the U.S. Forest Service in fighting wildfires.
The RFPA agreement came together just in time for Mountain Home ranchers to help the BLM fight the Stout Fire in July. "This was the first fire we interacted on and incorporated the Rangeland Fire Protection Association into suppression operations, and it went very well," Acarregui said. "Some of the actual firefighting resources they provided were dozers, fire tenders and engines, they did a lot of line construction, and it was very beneficial."
As things turned out, the range fire was contained and controlled at 12,000 acres. "It was a good catch considering the conditions and the resources assigned," Acarregui says.

Even though majority of the general public either have not heard about digital currencies or have a negative opinion due to widely documented issues, such as hacker probes, fraud and huge volatility, there are increasing signs that mass adoption is coming further down the road. In yet another positive announcement for crypto aficionados, Yahoo Finance has integrated bitcoin, ethereum and litecoin trading on its platform.
Yahoo Finance provides a host of statistical metrics on other digital assets, like ripple, bitcoin cash and stellar but these tokens do not yet have a buy/sell option. As of right now, trading appears to be only available in the US. Trading is enabled through Yahoo's internal API that links investors with online financial brokers, i.e. Coinbase.
Crypto enthusiasts have welcomed the announcement, which is a yet another small step towards mainstream adoption.
According to a recent PwC survey, institutional interest in cryptocurrencies is growing – yet another sign of mainstream adoption. The study involved 600 respondents, who were all senior executives in big institutions, with 31 percent of represented companies, generating over $1 billion in yearly revenue. 84 percent of executives reported having an ongoing blockchain project in their organization.

Mio is in the heart of Recoletta and nearby Palermo with trendy restruants (Great Steaks!!) and fashion. Hop-on-off bus outside door. Recommend the river trip to Tigre but allow time for traffic snarls to get to boat. Mio has breakfast and in-hotel restruant is classy.

The space and staff taking care of breakfast is not sufficient.
Lighting in room, key cards constantly not working, scrambled eggs at breakfast too watery and pancake batter unavailable despite featured on card at table. Air conditioning was a little erratic (got cold and warm intermittently).
Very good location, helpful staff, very well equipped rooms and nice breakfast. The Rufino steak house is also an excellent place to have dinner. And fast Internet in rooms can never hurt.
Stylish hotel, great staff and good location. Big rooms, nicely furnished The hotel also has a nice little spa area. Massage was great! Always looking forward to get back!


It's already August, which is kind of alarming. Summer, as usual, is going by so too quickly. Before you know it, it'll be December and I'll be wearing 18 layers as a blizzard rages outside and I will curse every single second that I'm forced to spend not indoors. I am really, really, really not looking forward to winter. I digress.
Admittedly, I'm more of a gym rat than an outdoors gal. I don't deal with the elements very well. I like following a pretty set workout routine within the comfort of an air-conditioned facility. But as I've mentioned before, diversifying your exercise regimen is a great way to A) avoid boredom and B) get in shape faster while maybe -- just maybe -- having more fun.
In this instance, I spiced up my routine by running some stairs near a trail in our neighborhood. It was a speedy way to increase my heart rate and in that summer sun, you work up a sweat in seconds. I opted for a head-to-toe Nike look that gave me tons of agility and mobility. I'm usually not a matchy-matchy person, but when it comes to activewear, I absolutely love coordinating colors. It's the ultimate way to feel and look put together while still going into beast mode.
This particular combination was completely coincidental. I'd purchased these Nike Free 5.0+ trainers in a black/magenta/purple colorway a few days before I saw this top. Right when I saw that it had the exact same colors, I knew these two were a match made in activewear heaven. I opted for white leggings as opposed to my go-to color of choice (black) because, in case you forgot, it's summer out there!

Supporting Canada's leadership in quantum computing to grow the economy and create jobs | Aici
Quantum technology is at the cutting edge of science and innovation. As Canadian researchers, workers and companies continue to demonstrate global leadership in the innovation and development of quantum technologies, we have the opportunity to transform the way we work and live in Canada and around the world – in areas ranging from combating climate change to advancing health care. The Government of Canada will continue to support Canadian businesses to help them grow and remain competitive, while driving economic growth and creating skilled, high-paying jobs for Canadians.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced today a new federal investment of $40 million to enable Toronto-based Canadian computer company Xanadu Quantum Technologies Inc. When developed, this computer will have the ability to provide universal capabilities to help solve complex data problems and can be used in various fields such as finance, transportation, modeling environment and health.
Supported through the government's Strategic Innovation Fund, this $177.8 million project is expected to create 530 highly skilled new jobs in the high-tech and IT sectors.
Home to some of the largest quantum technology centers in the world, Canada is well positioned to become a global leader in the quantum field, which will create new opportunities for Canadians and Canadian companies. The Government of Canada will continue to invest in innovative businesses to grow the economy and create high-skilled, high-paying jobs for Canadians.
"Quantum technology is changing the world as we know it. With the potential to solve complex problems in major fields such as healthcare, finance and climate science, this field expands the areas of potential. Today's announcement is good news for Canadian workers and businesses. This investment will bring good jobs, spur economic growth, promote innovation, and strengthen Canada as a global leader in quantum technology."
The Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada
"Quantum technology will set the course of the future and thanks to companies like Xanadu, Canada is at the forefront ready to lead. With today's announcement, our government is strengthening Canada's position in quantum technology and helping to create economic growth and good jobs for Canadians. We will continue to build this sector through the National Quantum Strategy and support Canadian-made technology so that Canada remains a global leader for decades to come.
The Hon. François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry
"The government's continued investment in quantum technology is invaluable to our success. We are proud to be a Canadian company and, with this investment, we are excited to enter the next phase of our mission to build quantum computers that are useful and accessible to everyone, everywhere. anywhere. "
Christian Weedbrook, founder and CEO, Xanadu
A quick fact
Since the birth of quantum science more than 100 years ago, quantum technology has been the source of many game-changing innovations such as semiconductors and lasers.
Quantum science is the study, manipulation and control of systems at the atomic and subatomic levels.
It is estimated that by 2045, the Canadian quantum industry will be a $139 billion industry, including all economic impacts, and will account for 200,000 jobs, according to a study by the National Research Council in 2020.
Earlier this month, the Government of Canada launched the National Quantum Strategy, which invests an additional $360 million to help Canada become a world leader in quantum technology.
Over the past 10 years, the Government of Canada has invested more than $1 billion in research and science.
In addition, the government has invested in bringing new technologies to Canadian and global markets, including investments through Canada's regional development agency, the Innovation Fund. Strategic, and the National Research Council of Canada's Industrial Research Assistance Program.
Xanadu is a prominent participant in Canada's innovation landscape and is committed to continuing to support innovation, growth and Canada's research and development sector.
Founded in 2016, Xanadu is a Canadian computer company in Toronto with a mission to build quantum computers that are useful and accessible to everyone.

Q: Voxel Animation I have been able to convert a 3D mesh from Maya into Voxel art (looks like a bunch of cubes--similar to legos), all done in Maya.  I plan on using the 3D art to wrap around my 2D textures to make it 2.5D.  My question is: does the mesh being voxelized allow me to use the pieces as particles that i can put into a particle engine in XNA to have awesome dynamic effects?

A: No, because you get a set of vertices and index defining triangles with no information about cubes.
But you can create an algorithm that extract the info from the model. It's a bit hard but it's feasible.
I'd do it creating a 3d grid, and foreach face I'd launch rays from that face to the opposite face, taking every collision with the mesh, getting for each  ray a number of collisions that should be pair (0, 2, 4,...), this between two points should have a solid volume.
That way it can be converted to voxels... on each collision it would be useful to store the bones that are related to the triangle that collides, this way you would be able to animate the voxel model.

POTD: Experimental Colt Double Action Auto-Eject Revolver
Sam.S 01.03.22
Welcome to today's Photo of the Day! Here, we have an experimental Colt revolver fitted with an auto-eject feature. This idea is an age-old answer to the autoloading competition. Unfortunately, there really is no good way of making a revolver auto-eject without manual effort. This experimental Colt auto-eject recovery is fitted with a gas tube on the side. The gas tube holds a spring-loaded piston that launches into the cylinder to eject the shell by siphoning off-gas from the barrel.
"This interesting firearm is an unfinished experimental double action revolver designed to automatically eject the spent casing made by Rob Roy. It has a modified ejector and a specially machined, spring loading gate. It was made using a stripped down .357 magnum Colt revolver and has no sights. The modified barrel is essentially upside down and is marked "COLT 357/357 MAGNUM CTG" on the right side and has the one-line address on the left. The frame is only marked with the Rampant Colt on the left side towards the rear. It is fitted with checked walnut grips with silver Colt medallions. The underside of the grip panels is marked "0646". The rear grip strap is serrated. The barrel, cylinder, and trigger are blued, and the remaining components are bare stainless steel. The blued cylinder release is loose but included."

Historians and constitutional scholars have paid scant attention to the process by which the states ratified the Bill of Rights. The states' ratifying conventions of 1787 and 1788 have been examined in great detail, as have the debates of the first Congress which led to the presentation of the Bill of Rights to the states. Scholars, however, have treated the ratification of the first ten amendments as little more than an historical formality. Why more than two full years passed between the Congressional adoption of the proposed amendments and the approval by the requisite number of states has never been adequately answered.

The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 3rd Edition, Anne H. Soukhanov
Author: Anne H. Soukhanov
Publisher: Bukupedia
Category: Young Adult Nonfiction
A lmost a quarter of a century ago a new dictionary bearing the name American Heritage appeared. That book was notable because it did four things and it did them well. It faithfully recorded the language in easily understood definitions. It provided guidance toward accuracy, precision, and grace in the use of English that intelligent people need and seek in a dictionary. It traced, whenever possible, the development of English words to their origins and keyed many to an Appendix of Indo-European Roots. And it presented complex lexical data in a typographically attractive design accented by thousands of photographs and line drawings in spacious margins. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Third Edition , builds upon this distinguished, innovative foundation. The pages of the Third Edition, a lexicon of more than 200,000 boldface forms, hundreds of thousands of meanings, and nearly 4,000 pieces of art, reflect the rich and varied texture of American English as it has been used over time by a broad group of educated speakers. This Dictionary is the product of four years of work by 175 contributors. In preparing the Dictionary, our editors have had access to a database containing hundreds of millions of lines of text that could be searched for any word in context. The A-Z vocabulary, containing more than 16,000 words and meanings new to this Edition, is a comprehensive, detailed record of the language. Use of citations allowed the editors to identify new words and new meanings, identify levels of usage, and select more than 4,000 quoted illustrations from nearly 2,000 sources for use in exemplifying entry words in printed context. The quoted illustrations range from the works of Shakespeare, Pope, and Ruskin to the works of contemporary writers such as Joyce Carol Oates, Joan Didion, John Updike, and Tom Wicker. More than 30,000 nonquoted illustrative examples were also derived from study of the citations. Finally, the citations were used to determine the status of variants. For example, 4,000 electronic citations were accrued for the spelling ambiance and about 2,000 were found for the variant ambience . On the basis of this 2:1 ratio the Dictionary gives ambience as an "unequal," or less frequently occurring, variant of the entry word ambiance . If language is a reflection of the ethos of the generation speaking it, then the new entries and meanings in this Edition have much to say about us and our time. The great majority of the new words relate to social and life patterns; to the life sciences with an emphasis on health, medicine, genetics, and ecology; and to the physical sciences with an emphasis on computer technology and electronics, physics, and astronomy. The goal of the Third Edition is to provide the user with comprehension and appreciation of the language in a readable manner. Keeping the needs of the contemporary user in mind, we have presented the central and often the most frequently sought meaning of a word first. The definitions are worded in concise, lucid prose without the specialized terms and abbreviations that make most dictionaries forbidding and confusing. The Third Edition contains more than 500 notes and comments on matters of grammar, diction, pronunciation, and levels and nuances of usage. Citations were used in identifying new and evolving usage problems, attesting and evaluating the currency of certain usages, studying various levels of usage, and evaluating their sociolinguistic implications. The 173-member Usage Panel, with 75 new members and chaired by Geoffrey Nunberg, a linguist associated with Stanford University, has made an important contribution to the content and direction of the Usage Notes through responses to periodic surveys developed by the Chair and the editors. The Usage Panel of the Third Edition consists chiefly of writers, editors, and scholars, 22 of whom are professors of linguistics or English. Other Panelists occupy distinguished positions in law, diplomacy, government, business, science and technology, medicine, and the arts. Eighteen are recipients of the Pulitzer Prize and one is a Nobel Laureate. These men and women, who reside in 28 states across the land and in Canada and England, are a cross section of today's critical, literary, and scholarly community. A list of usage issues—old and new—was prepared by the Chair and the editors, and from it the usage program for the Third Edition was developed. Some of the usage issues are entirely new. An example is the Note at world-class . Other issues discussed in previous editions were resurveyed. An example is the use of contact as a verb. In some instances the Panel's views are more conservative than in the past: only 27 percent of the current Panel accepts hopefully as a sentence adverb, a usage that in 1969 was acceptable to 44 percent of the Panel. Other Notes, such as the one that discusses the use of above as a noun, present guidance and linguistic analysis without Panel opinions. The Usage Notes are not confined solely to matters of stylistic excellence. Our concern with usage extends to issues of gender, ethnicity, and sexual preference. Considerable attention is devoted in this Edition to the history of words. The etymologies have been thoroughly revised and expanded by a group of 25 specialists whose work reflects original scholarly research in many fields, including African, Persian, Turkish, and Native American languages. Special symbols, abbreviations, and complex technical vocabulary have been avoided in the etymologies. More than 400 word history paragraphs, most of which contain dates of first occurrence of the words in English, appear at entries with especially interesting etymologies. These word histories, such as the one at nerd , provide a social, historical, and cultural context for the evolution of words and explain the various linguistic processes that contribute to the development of language. A great many Modern English words can be traced to the reconstructed ancestral language called Proto-Indo-European. The etymologies in the Third Edition, like those in the First, trace many words to their earliest ascertainable origins, usually in Proto-Indo-European, by means of cross-references to a new and thoroughly revised Appendix of Indo-European Roots. The Appendix, in a major departure from previous style, gives the root followed by a brief gloss and a list of some of the Modern English words derived from it. The individual roots entry then follows. For example, the Modern English words fierce , and treacle , at first glance strange semantic companions, both derive from the root *ghwer- , "wild." The Third Edition contains hundreds of labeled words and meanings whose occurrence is restricted to certain areas of the United States. An important new feature unique to the Third Edition is the inclusion of more than 100 Regional Notes that explore the various linguistic and historical processes contributing to the development of these terms. These processes are apparent in the Regional Notes at entries such as absquatulate . In an effort to assist the reader in using the language with color, vitality, and freshness, the Third Edition devotes more attention than ever before to synonymy by including more than 900 synonym paragraphs. The fully cross-referenced synonym paragraphs are of two kinds. The first, liberally illustrated with quotations, discriminates shades of meaning. The second kind lists exact synonyms, that is, words sharing a common irreducible element of meaning, and provides antonyms when applicable. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Third Edition , like the First, is the product of significant advances in the use of computer technology. The Third Edition is derived from a complex, highly versatile structured database. Every element in the Dictionary was parsed, examined, and coded to reflect its lexical function and position within the base. In combination, these elements form dictionary entries, and on a broader scale they reflect a multitude of relationships across the lexicon. Use of the database in connection with electronically generated citations places the Third Edition a generation ahead of other dictionaries. It is no longer possible for a few general editors working strictly within a publishing house to compile a true and accurate record of the language as it is used today. Semantic, etymological, linguistic, and technical complexities inherent in the language require the counsel of specialists from many disciplines. These specialists' names are listed under Special Contributors and Consultants. We wish to thank all of them for helping us in our pursuit of accuracy and truth. Special thanks go to John Simpson, Co-Editor of the New Oxford English Dictionary , for valuable comments made during the early stages of the project. And to all members of the Editorial Staff who gave unstintingly of their time and expended great effort in the development of the Third Edition, we express our deepest gratitude. Anne H.Soukhanov

Ok, we know that Piper's Pub might not be the most photogenic restaurant. It is a *pub* in every sense – dimly lit and laid-back. But what it lacks in lighting, it makes up for with darn good food and whiskey. And, if you're a football fan (soccer to us Americans), you won't find a better crowd in Pittsburgh to watch a match with.
Piper's Pub has been cooking up pub favorites in the South Side for almost 20 years. They serve everything from fish and chips, shepherd's pie, and bangers and mash to traditional Sunday supper. (Sunday supper in Scotland is typically roasted meat, potatoes, a vegetable, and Yorkshire pudding…and man, does Piper's make a mean one!) They change their menu a couple times a year, but follow them on social media to find out their daily lunch and dinner specials. Trust us, they're drool-worthy enough to make you reconsider whatever you had planned.
If all that wasn't enough, you'll need to save room for dessert. We definitely recommend their sticky toffee pudding and whiskey chocolate pot du creme, but they also feature a special dessert on the weekends from ThreeFifty.
Long story short, you're about to leave full, hungry, and happy af.

Q: How to add media_root and media_url in Django I am using Django 3, and I have tried every solution available on the internet, but none of them worked for me.
When I set DEBUG=False, I am unable to display an image on the HTML page.
Here are my settings
-root_app
--main_app
---settings.py
---asgi.py
---urls.py
---wsgi.py
--sub_app
---admin.py
---urls.py
---views.py
---static
----style.css
---templates
----home.html
---media
----images

media path in settings.py
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'sub_app','media')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

Here what I have done to resolve it

*

*add context_processor
django.template.context_processors.media'

*add  +static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT) in url_patterns of urls.py of sub_app

*I changed static storage to STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'whitenoise.storage.CompressedStaticFilesStorage', otherwise I got 500 error. Check this comment
But still, I am unable to display the image at home.html page.
When I click on image source using inspect element, I got this
/media/images/img.png

A: These settings resolved the issue
Media Path
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'sub_app','media')
MEDIA_URL = '/media/'

Static Path
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'sub_app','static')
STATIC_URL = '/static/

Adding re_path line in urls.py of main_app
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.views.static import serve

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('',include('sub_app.urls')),
    re_path(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', serve, kwargs={'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT})
]

A: Change this
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'sub_app','media')

to
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')

in settings.py and use
{{MEDIA_URL}}images/image.png

inside your template.

A: An edit to Dr. Abhishek's answer: yes, you need the MEDIA_ROOT setting, but you need to append it into the STATICFILES_DIRS list also, which will look something like this:
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media')

STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    # ...
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'media'),
]

When you load the image, use a soft-encoded path like this:
{% load static %}
<!-- remember to change the file name/type! -->
<img src="{% static 'images/image.jpg' %}" alt="Image">

The Moving Target is a detective novel by writer Ross Macdonald, first published by Alfred A. Knopf in April 1949.

The novel
The Moving Target introduces the detective Lew Archer, who was eventually to figure in a further seventeen novels. Up to this point Macdonald had been writing under the name Kenneth Millar, but adopted the pseudonym John Macdonald for this one. His first drafts were begun in 1947, using the working title of The Snatch; its style was meant to be a refinement on hardboiled fiction, featuring a successor to Philip Marlowe. Macdonald's publisher was dissatisfied with the quality of the writing when it was first submitted and only accepted it after considerable revisions and a change of title. The new title derived from a conversation that Archer has in the novel with a young woman who describes the craving for excitement and risk-taking of her post-war generation as being like driving fast in hope of meeting "something utterly new. Something naked and bright, a moving target in the road."

For the book, Macdonald created the fictional city of Santa Teresa, a version of Santa Barbara, California. The city is portrayed as divided between a rich class corrupted by easy living who live in the canyons above it and a poor underclass, many of them non-white.

Anthony Boucher greeted the novel enthusiastically in The New York Times Book Review: "Human compassion and literary skill returns the much-abused hard-boiled detective story to its original Hammet-high level." Raymond Chandler, on the other hand, dismissed Macdonald's literary homage in a private letter not published until 1962 as the work of a "literary eunuch".

Plot
Lew Archer is a 35-year-old private eye based in Los Angeles. He is hired by the crippled wife of millionaire Ralph Sampson to discover what has happened to him since he disappeared after recently landing at Burbank Airport. Archer begins by interviewing Sampson's pilot Alan Taggert and his flirtatious daughter Miranda at their Santa Teresa villa before going downtown to talk to the family lawyer, Bert Graves, an old friend of Archer's from before World War 2. A lead takes him to Fay Estabrook, an aging Hollywood film star whom he later picks up during a night's drinking, but when he takes her home he is interrupted by Fay's husband, the gun-toting crook Dwight Troy.

On the way back, Archer drops in on a run-down bar called The Wild Piano and listens to a boogie performance by convicted addict Betty Fraley. When he starts questioning her about Sampson, she turns him over to a thug called Puddler and he is only saved from a bad beating by Taggert, who is also there on Sampson's trail. The following day Archer discovers that The Wild Piano's owner is Troy, who appears to be a crook down on his luck. He then drives to the Sampson home, where a letter has been received that makes it seem that Sampson has been kidnapped.

Among other things that emerge about Sampson is that Troy is his business associate and that he gifted a mountain hunting lodge to a religious cult leader called Claude as a temple. After Archer and Miranda go to search this for some trace of Sampson, a ransom demand arrives at the villa. Graves and Taggert arrange to drop the money while Archer waits to follow the kidnapper's car. However, its driver is shot and the other members of the gang get away.

While trying to find out more about the dead driver at a truck stop, a truck driven by Puddler draws up which Archer tails to Claude's mountain temple. Eventually it emerges that Sampson and Troy have been using it as a drop-off point to smuggle illegal Mexican immigrants over the border and then hire them out at low pay rates to local ranchers. Archer is captured there by Troy, who acts with surprise when he hears of the kidnap. Puddler drives him back down to a dock on the coast and is drowned in a fight while Archer returns to the villa. There he learns from Graves that the dead kidnapper was Betty Fraley's brother, Eddie; Taggert is revealed to be Betty's lover and complicit in Sampson's kidnapping. When Taggert tries to shoot Archer, he is shot instead by Graves.

Archer tracks down Eddie's sister, who is being tortured by Troy to reveal where Sampson is being held captive. Archer rescues her but is knocked unconscious from behind when he gets to the place. Graves arrives half an hour later to bring him round and they discover Sampson's body, strangled but still warm. On the drive back Archer accuses Graves of the murder. He had just married Miranda, who stood to inherit over a million dollars on her father's death. Sickened at the realisation of how the lust for money has twisted all connected with the crime, Graves turns himself in.

Movie version
The novel became the basis for the 1966 Paul Newman film Harper, when Pocket Books retitled a reprint of the novel Harper without permission as part of the movie tie-in.

University researchers have developed a technique that governments and Internet service providers could use to bypass secured Internet connections and gather valuable personal information.
The "analysis attack" on HTTPS traffic had an 89 percent accuracy rate in determining the Web pages a person visited, according to University of California, Berkeley, researchers. Such tracking made it possible for the researchers to gather information on medical conditions, sexual orientation, financial status and whether a person is involved in a divorce or bankruptcy proceeding.
The study looked at more than 463,000 page loads on 10 widely used, industry-leading websites. Healthcare sites included those of the Mayo Clinic, Planned Parenthood and Kaiser Permanente; financial sites belonged to Wells Fargo, Bank of America and Vanguard; legal services sites belonged to the American Civil Liberties Union and Legal Zoom; and video-streaming sites included Netflix and YouTube.
For the attack to work, snoops would have to be able to visit the same Web pages as the victim, which would enable the attackers to identify packet patterns in encrypted traffic that would be indicative of different Web pages.
"It would be like if somebody gave you a bicycle but took it apart and wrapped each piece individually," Brad Miller, co-author of the study told CSOonline Monday. "You would quickly notice that there were two big packages which look like wheels, a frame, a squiggly one that corresponds to a chain, etc.
"It's the same way with a Web page. Because we watch each of the parts be delivered individually, there ends up being so much information which you can observe without decrypting the packets that you can quite likely figure out the exact Web page."
The attackers must also be able to observe victim traffic, which would allow them to match those packet patterns with the ones going to particular Web pages.
The researchers also developed a defense that involved reducing the amount of packet information an attacker could gather. The technique lowered the accuracy of identifying Web pages visited by people from 89 percent to 27 percent.
The research has important privacy implications. Being able to examine user activity on a healthcare site could reveal medical conditions, which could lead to discrimination or could be sold to advertisers looking to pitch products.
Monitoring legal site traffic could uncover a divorce, bankruptcy or immigration status, while analyzing traffic on a banking site could provide insight on whether a person has children, is in a long-term relationship or is in a high-income bracket.
Any company with access to HTTPS traffic, such as Internet service providers and commercial chains of Wi-Fi access points, could gather data on users despite the encryption and sell the information to advertisers, the study said.
Employers could monitor the activities of employees while they are on the corporate network, regardless whether they are using a personal or employer-issued device.
Finally, governments could find the collected information useful to find criminals and to punish political dissidents or people who defy censors, the study said. In China, for example, the social media firm Sina recently punished more than 100,000 users through account suspensions and occasional public admonishment for violating the government's guidelines for Internet use.

Q: Comparison between A non-clustered primary key and a covering index in terms of performance I have a table which contains a non-clustered primary key. I intend to remove this primary key and create a unique Covering Index on the same column instead.
Then The table won't have a primary key, but a unique covering index.
I searched google but could not find a relevant topic. Is that fundamentally wrong? or it's ok to be done.
Update:
Why do I need to convert this index to a covering index?
Because this is the primary key and I have many select queries based on this key. At the moment for each select, there will be a need for a RID Lookup because this is a non-clustered key. If I convert it to a covering index, this RID Lookup will be gone for those select queries and hopefully there will be better performance (at least the excecution plan says that).
Of course integrity is also intended and that's why I will make it a unique covering index. The primary key is a uniqueidentifier, generated by the application (which explains why we don't make it clustered)..
What I am wondering is if that has any negative effects on anything else.
Execution Plan Before:

Execution Plan After:

FYI, the primary-key is a uniquidentifier which is generated in the code (application).  In load tests we came up with the conclusion of making it non-clustered.

A: By removing the primary key and adding a unique covering index with more columns, you are fundamentally changing how the table accepts data.  It may be that with the covering index in place, the table design no longer fits the purpose it was designed for.
Take for instance:
USE tempdb;

IF OBJECT_ID(N'dbo.T1', N'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE dbo.T1;
CREATE TABLE dbo.T1
(
    ID1 int NOT NULL
    , ID2 int NOT NULL
    , SomeDate datetime2(7) NOT NULL
    , CONSTRAINT PK_T1
        PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED
        (ID1, ID2)
);

INSERT INTO dbo.T1 (ID1, ID2, SomeDate)
VALUES (1, 1, GETDATE())
WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:00.003';
INSERT INTO dbo.T1 (ID1, ID2, SomeDate)
VALUES (1, 1, GETDATE());

The output:

(1 row(s) affected)
  Msg 2627, Level 14, State 1, Line 18
  Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK_T1'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.T1'. The duplicate key value is (1, 1).
  The statement has been terminated.

The table design is only allowing rows where the tuple (ID1, ID2) is unique.
Then look at this, where the primary key does not exist, and has been replaced with a wider unique covering index:
IF OBJECT_ID(N'dbo.T2', N'U') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE dbo.T2;
CREATE TABLE dbo.T2
(
    ID1 int NOT NULL
    , ID2 int NOT NULL
    , SomeDate datetime NOT NULL
);

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX IX_T2
ON dbo.T2 (ID1, ID2, SomeDate);

INSERT INTO dbo.T2 (ID1, ID2, SomeDate)
VALUES (1, 1, GETDATE())
WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:00.003';
INSERT INTO dbo.T2 (ID1, ID2, SomeDate)
VALUES (1, 1, GETDATE());

(1 row(s) affected)
(1 row(s) affected)

Table T2 has both rows, where arguably, the second insert should have failed and the table should only have a single row.  In this design, the table is now accepting rows where the tuple (ID1, ID2) are not necessarily unique.
I'd think carefully about your table design, and potentially just add the covering index without removing the primary key.

A: You can change the primary key default to newsequentiaid(), then replace the non-clustered pk with a clustered pk. This solves the non-sequentially increasing primary key issue while retaining unique identifier as the primary key column type.
Compared against a clustered key solution, the biggest downside (so long as you are careful with your unique index logic) is that creating a covering non-clustered index requires you to store the table data twice. inserts and updates have to maintain both copies as well, affecting performance.  The additional included columns are stored on leaf pages of the non-clustered index, as well as in original table. They use the same space as additional key columns, but are not considered during seeks and other ops on keys (see this for details).
With a clustered primary key, a single copy of the table data is stored with the clustered key, in index order (so no key lookups).
