Q: How can I scrape pages with Node.js I am trying to scrape a website but I cannot get the results to write to an HTML file.
I used cheerio in node.js and my code is below.
var http = require('http');
var path = require('path');
var request = require('request');
var cheerio = require('cheerio');

http.createServer(function (req, res) {
    res.write('');
        request('http://www.espn.com', function(err, res, html){
            var $ = cheerio.load(html);

            $('a.realStory').each(function(i, element) {
                var node = $(this);
                var text = node.text();
            res.write('
'+ text +'
');
            });
        });

  res.end('');
}).listen(1337);

How can i run this file and then goto my localhost to view it?

A: Rudimentary Implementation:
var express = require('express'),
    path = require('path'),
    request = require('request'),
    cheerio = require('cheerio'),
    app = express();
app.get('/', function (req, res) {
    request('http://www.espn.com', function (e, r, html) {
        var $ = cheerio.load(html);
        $('a.realStory').each(function (i, element) {
            var node = $(this);
            var text = node.text();
            res.write('
' + text + '
');
        });
        res.end();
    });
});
app.listen(process.env.PORT || 1337, function () {
    console.log("Server running..");
});

Thread: NRDC Warns Of Danger To Trout And Salmon
Cal.Kellogg
Global warming has the potential to create havoc across all of the planets environments, but the danger is magnified when it comes to fish and animals that require cool temperatures....Think about it, what is one of the biggest threats to salmon running up stream in the early fall? It's warm water! In this day when salmon are already struggling, rising stream temperatures due to global warming make for a bleak outlook indeed...
Check out this article presented by the NRDC
Global Warming Threatens Cold-Water Fish ?As temperatures rise, salmon and trout are likely to disappear from streams across the United States -- unless global warming pollution is reduced.
To anglers, the words "trout stream" or "salmon stream" mean one thing: free-flowing water that's clear and -- most of all -- cold. But in the decades ahead, the chilly streams that sustain these prized sport fish will grow increasingly tepid as a result of rising global temperatures.
According to a new study by NRDC and Defenders of Wildlife, global warming is likely to spur the disappearance of trout and salmon from as much as 18 to 38 percent of their current habitat by the year 2090. The study also found that habitat loss for individual species could be as high as 17 percent by 2030, 34 percent by 2060 and 42 percent by 2090 -- if emissions of heat-trapping pollution such as carbon dioxide are not reduced.
Why are salmon and trout so vulnerable to global warming? It's simple: cold-water fish such as trout and salmon thrive in streams with temperatures of 50 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit. In many areas, the fish are already living at the upper end of their thermal range, meaning even modest warming could render streams uninhabitable.
Projected increases in water temperature differ by location, but average 0.7 to 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit by 2030, 1.3 to 3.2 degrees by 2060, and 2.2 to 4.9 degrees by 2090, depending on future emissions of heat-trapping gases and the climate model on which projections are based.
The analysis covers four species of trout -- brook, cutthroat, rainbow and brown -- and four species of salmon -- pink, coho, chinook and chum. Researchers looked at air and water temperature data from more than 2,000 sites across the United States (not including Alaska or Hawaii). Then, using three internationally recognized climate models, they estimated changes in stream temperatures under a variety of pollution scenarios.
In reality, habitat loss could be even more extensive than predicted. NRDC's study examined only the direct effects of higher air temperatures on water, and did not cover indirect impacts of global warming, such as shifts in precipitation and evaporation. Nor did it take into account changes in the ocean, where salmon and some trout species spend much of their lives.
As with other consequences of global warming, the disappearance of trout and salmon is expected to vary by region. For trout, the greatest losses are likely to occur in the South, Southwest and Northeast, largely because stream temperatures in those areas already are warmer than in other regions. For salmon, significant losses are expected throughout the current range of the four species, with the most dramatic losses occurring in California.
Regardless of location, the disappearance of cold-water fish will come at a significant cost -- to jobs, recreation and regional culture. Roughly 10 million Americans spend an average of 10 days a year angling for salmon and trout, and the estimated value of the combined fisheries ranges from $1.5 billion to $14 billion a year. Trout are also central to the culture of the Rocky and Appalachian mountains, while salmon are an integral part of the Northwest's Native American heritage.
Of course, global warming isn't the only threat to salmon and trout. Logging, development, pollution, dams and water diversions have all degraded, if not destroyed, huge swaths of their habitat -- while inspiring high-stakes efforts to save various species from extinction. During the 1980s, for example, more than $1.3 billion was poured into the Columbia River basin in attempts to improve salmon runs.
It's now clear that such efforts -- if they're to succeed in the future -- must address the problem of global warming as well. To do this, the United States must reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases. The good news is that many of the tools needed to clean up motor vehicles and power plants already exist. What's needed is the political will to put this technology to use.

European Central Bank Takes Next Step in Tapering Stimulus
Germany European Central Bank
FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — The European Central Bank confirmed Thursday it is halving the size of its monthly bond-buying stimulus program as it scales back its post-crisis emergency efforts before stopping them at the end of the year.
The chief monetary authority for the 19 countries that use the euro said the purchases would be cut to 15 billion euros ($17.4 billion) a month from 30 billion euros after September.
The move was in effect already announced at the bank's June 14 meeting. The bank set out its plans to halt the stimulus in December and postpone any interest rate increase until well after that. Analysts do not expect a rate hike until the second half of 2019 at the earliest.
ECB President Mario Draghi is expected to give his views on the economic outlook at a news conference later Thursday. Among the key threats to the eurozone economy is the trade dispute the U.S. has initiated with other major powers, particularly China. Investors are also watching whether Italy's new populist government will break with Europe's rules on public spending and rekindle a debt crisis in the region.
The central bank has said it will only change course if there's an unexpected downturn or crisis. At the moment that seems unlikely. The eurozone grew 0.3 percent in the second quarter over the quarter before, and the European Commission forecasts 2.3 percent growth for the full year. Unemployment has fallen to 8.2 percent from over 12 percent in 2013 as the eurozone continues to heal from the Great Recession and the 2010-2012 debt crisis. The recovery remains uneven, however, with unemployment at 19.5 percent in Greece and 15.1 percent in Spain.
The ECB's stimulus exit is part of a global trend: the withdrawal of stimulus from the rich world's major monetary authorities, including the U.S. Federal Reserve, the Bank of England and the Bank of Japan. They loosened monetary policy — lowering interest rates and pumping new money into the economy — to support the economy after the global financial crisis that deepened 10 years ago with the bankruptcy of U.S. investment bank Lehman Brothers. A crisis over debt in Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Cyprus and Italy further held back the 19 countries that use the euro as their currency.
Stimulus withdrawal should have wide-ranging effects. Low rates and bond purchases with newly created money lifted the prices of assets such as stocks and bonds. Raising rates and tightening monetary policy could make conservative holdings such as savings accounts, money market funds and certificates of deposit relatively more attractive compared for investors compared to riskier assets such as stocks. That is why the ECB, Fed and other central banks are moving carefully to return rates to more normal levels.
Draghi and the ECB are moving slowly in withdrawing stimulus to avoid a repeat of the 2013 "taper tantrum." Then-Federal Reserve head Ben Bernanke said that an improving economy meant the Fed could start reducing its own bond purchase stimulus. Bond prices fell and market interest rates rose. The U.S. central bank subsequently made a gradual exit from the purchases and started raising interest rates without ruffling markets. The Fed has already raised its interest rate benchmark from near zero to 1.75 to 2.0 percent. The ECB has been much slower to withdraw stimulus because the economic recovery in Europe has been slower.
The ECB's purchase of government and corporate bonds from banks is a way of pushing newly created money into the banking system, and hopefully into the economy. The aim has been to raise inflation from dangerously low levels near zero and help banks give more loans to businesses to boost growth.
Low interest rate benchmarks had the same goal. The ECB's lending rate to banks is at a record low of zero, and it has imposed an unusual negative rate on deposits that it takes from commercial banks of minus 0.4 percent. That forces banks to pay a penalty for keeping excess funds at the central bank and provides an incentive to lend instead.

What Are The Steps To Follow To Home Stage?
Do you want to sell your house, then home staging it will make it more receptive and appealing to buyers. In case your house has been on sale for a while and there are no offers instead all you have a just showings, perhaps you should consider doing some more work to get more showings and improve the situation.
To sell a house some time back all that you had to do was clean and paint it. If you want your home to stand out from the others then it has to go through the process of home staging. It is a process where a property attracts its buyers hence you get more showings that can eventually lead to a sale.
You need to put in a little more work in case you want to sell your house. The whole appearance of your home should be your starting point. Before a buyer can settle on a home, they visit several others before they can book any appointment with any of them. So you need to figure out, if you would be attracted to how your home looks on the outside. Is it attractive enough to make you want to get in and see it.
Don't give up. If you want to sell your house, you should make it appealing and marketable through home staging. The money and time you spend on home staging are investments and will make it easier to sell the house.

Jamie Woon Is The 'Truth'
SoulUK
December 20, 2010 | 5:00 pm
With albums due from some of the biggest names in soul (Raphael Saadiq, Rahsaan Patterson, Lalah Hathaway), as well as exciting newcomers (James Blake, Eska Mtungwazi), 2011 already looks set to be a bumper year. One of the albums that I am looking forward to most is the debut from alternative soulster Jamie Woon. As yet untitled, the album is currently slated for a spring release. The first single, "Night Air," has already made the blog rounds and has become quite a favorite amongst those who like their soul music with a side of electro goodness. To whet appetites further, Jamie has released a non-album track entitled "Blue Truth" for free. All you have to do to own it for yourself is sign up to his mailing list here.

Sam Dew & KIRBY Are So 'GONE'


Sorry i'm late to the party as usual, but EBBLES IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!! oh ya!!! can't wait to see what you come up with!! so Exciting!!
Me too! There's a ton of stuff I'd like to do, and I'm figuring out what I want to do during the first year and how to sequence the releases. Once that's done, I'll post an update and let you guys know what the plan is.
Definitely excited to hear what's coming up on the workbench!!!
I keep finding more and more interesting ways to use my new tools. I'm going through another phase like the one I went through in 2005, after I upgraded from Paint Shop Pro 7 to Photoshop CS5. That was a fun period of time, and is the reason why the 2006 model archive is, um, a bit eclectic compared to the rest. I mean, an UFO, a giant stompie, alien bugs, and a starship trooper? I'd like to say there was a method behind that madness, but it was really just me trying out a whole bunch of things.
I'm tentatively targeting a January 2017 "grand opening" in order to give me some time to build up the new catalog a bit. The archived models don't count as new products because they're going to remain free and stay right where they are.
Workbench stuff like blog posts and live streams will start rolling after I've completed one model with the new workflow and ironed out any kinks.
-I'd like to revisit the Noir 2520 setting (the Podtel, Brio, Interceptor, and HL 300 were part of that setting) and flesh it out some more. The nice thing about the kind of models in that setting is that many of them are 1 or 2 pages and don't have wheels, so they're quick and fun builds that all gel together well visually. I'm also looking forward to doing new scenery for that setting, since the Podtel was a lot of fun and just plain looks more interesting than a stack of boxes.
-I'd like to pick up where I left off with the Offworld setting and give it a visual refresh, starting with the spaceport stuff. It's now connected to the Noir 2520 setting thematically, but focuses more on the seedy frontier aspect and less on the neon cyberpunk aspect.
-I'd like to be able to start including some figures with models, or do complementary figure packs, whichever makes more sense.
-I'd also like to dip my toe a little in other genres, like fantasy, modern, and historical. This will probably happen after I'm satisfied with the size of the new sci-fi category.
Aesthetically, I want to incorporate more curvy lines in my new models and move away from the angular faceted aesthetic a bit, but only where it won't make them harder to build. I find that carefully designed curves are both simple to build and add a lot of strength to parts, so it's a win all around.
I'm also planning out ways to offer professionally printed and cut models. I've made arrangements to outsource the printing to a digital printing shop for now, and will be handling the cutting myself on commercial grade equipment after we move somewhere with a little bit more breathing room. I will also be acquiring a commercial grade printer at some point in the future to bring it all in-house. Models in that format make nice gifts, convention sale items, and retail consignment pieces, plus there's a number of people who simply prefer not to deal with printer hassles or cutting out stuff by hand, and this gives them a way to enjoy my models. The thing I'm the most stoked about is being able to completely eliminate visible cut/fold lines on the prints, which makes for significantly cleaner and sexier looking builds when coupled with color-matched edging.
On that note, I'll also likely begin stocking curated sets of Tombow edging markers containing the most common color matches for my models, which will probably work out cheaper than buying the full 96 color set or buying the pens individually from multiple vendors online. Also, a free PVA glue pen or two will most likely be tossed in with each order.
In addition to the printed and cut models, I'll also be looking into short-run production of CD/DVD sets as holiday gifts, for gift recipients who prefer to print and cut their own stuff themselves. I will also be bringing that in-house in the future so I can offer per-order CD/DVD fulfillment as an option.
There will also be a change in format where cutfiles are concerned. After being burned by the registration mark change for the Cameo a few years ago, and considering how weird Silhouette America is being about .studio file format distribution rights, I'm just going to include PNG frames and DXF cutting paths that are pre-registered to overlap perfectly when imported into whatever cutting software you're using. I realize this is probably a bit inconvenient, but it's a lot more convenient than what you'd have to go through if Silhouette America decided that next year's registration marks are going to be a heart and 3 curlicues! Plus, you wouldn't be limited to using a Silhouette machine to cut stuff out with, and you'd only have to do the frame setup once and then save it in the format your cutter uses.
I think that's covered everything, but if I remember something I didn't cover above, I'll just post it in a follow-up.
Chris, this sounds great! Can't wait for the new year and the new stuff to start rolling out!
Agreed! Excited to see what the new year brings!!!
your skills are unmatched ! so what ever you do is going to be AWESOME!!!
I acquired some more stuff for the papercraft side of things!
I've been waiting for the Silhouette Cameo 3 for a few months now, and scored one for $249.
Looks sleeker than than the previous models.
Touchpad display is under the cover.
Dual tool carriage! No more changing blades or blade depths between cut conditions.
Pull-out tool drawers. Neat feature, since it comes with a roll slitter and some kind of widget for adjusting ratchet blades.
Tool caddies! I've wished my old Craft ROBO had something like that many times.
The Cameo 3 has Bluetooth and USB flash drive support, which are important to me because I don't want it tethered to my PC. I'm looking forward to giving it a proper test this weekend.
I also got a nice eBay deal on a pre-loved Daige Speedcote 1215 wax coater. It normally retails for $750 direct from the manufacturer, but I got mine for $200 and free shipping. Plus, it came with 23 bars of BB9 wax in addition to what was already in the machine, AND I found another seller selling a box of 60 wax bars for $19.99 plus $17 shipping, which came out to 36 bucks. A box of 60 bars normally goes for 86 bucks, so that was a pretty good deal.
I'm using the waxer to make backing sheets for the Cameo as well as making restickable tile textures and wall facings for prototyping. I had to fabricate a new cover retention pin with my Dremel, clean up the insides a little bit, make some minor adjustments, feed the hungry waxer a few bars to get it back up to its ideal fill level, but once all that was done, it worked beautifully!
Yes, I stuck those sheets on my wall for science. I also tested a waxed backing sheet with my Olfa knife and it worked just as well as I'd hoped. No more stinky Krylon sprays or chasing errant backing sheets around the backyard on windy days!
I also have a 40" Logan mat cutter and accessories for cutting large sheets of 1.3mm chipboard (dirt cheap direct from johnny-o Blick, the scrapbooking places gouge you on the smaller sheets). For marking templates on chipboard, I've got a Silhouette sketch pen set, so I can lay stuff out on 15" wide trimmed chipboard sheets. I've never liked foam board much, and would rather deal with mat board or chipboard.
I've got a couple more shipments incoming before all of my prototyping gear is fully up and running. It should save me quite a bit of extra time and let me make the most of whatever time I can allocate to this hobby.
Wow looks like you brought in a big haul of neat goodies! I keep wanting to get a robocutter just to increase my model building, how long do the blades last tho and the cutting sheets? I'll have to try some mat board or chipboard too, I'm also not fond of foam board lol!
I've been running on the same blade for... hundreds of pages of minis? I can't remember the last time I changed my blade. I'm cutting heavy matte photo paper. The blades aren't *terribly* expensive ($12-$15?), but I haven't priced them in a long time. I usually put them on my birthday wish list so my wife can get me something I'll use.
Some folks HATE the cutting mats that come with the machine. I use mine. Out-of-the-box they are WAY TOO STICKY and will probably ruin some paper. It's really silly how sticky they are.
I *love* my cutter for cutting minis. I enjoy cutting buildings by hand. Gives me the best of both worlds.
Nice, that's not too bad either for blade life span! One of the biggest reasons I'd love to pick one up at some point is for cutting minis and models on 110lb Cardstock (especially the hybrids lol) for GunCrawl, maybe look into making reg-marks for the GunCrawl sets (if I got really ambitious lol), it would also probably motivate me to do bigger games too especially since it would help me turn out bigger things quicker like vehicles and buildings that give me hand cramps after a while lol!
I must confess to having waxer envy. Nice looking setup.
uptrainfan89: Blade life for me is kind of variable. Some blades I've had last a really long time, some of them go dull or break fairly quickly. This was the old blade setup with my old Craft ROBO, mind you, and I don't know yet how long the fancypants automatic blades that work with the Cameo 3 last yet.
mproteau: Oh yeah, the ridiculous amount of tack is exactly what grinds my gears about the standard carrier mat. I've seen permanent glue with less bite. I make my own backing sheets for speed and convenience, but the Cameo 3 definitely seems to do better with a more rigid carrier. I'm going to be making a few 8.5x11 waxed chipboard carriers today to see if they do a better job keeping cut sheets flat between the rollers.
squirmydad: I can relate, I've been lusting after one of those waxers since I discovered them in 2008.
-If you want one for the Bluetooth support, wait a while for Silhouette to finish fixing it first. They're still working on the firmware and software, and it's not exactly what I would call stable right now.
-If you do a lot of cutting from an USB drive, don't use the automatic blade until Silhouette makes the machine recognize it when loading a job from the USB drive.
-The machine works great if you plug it directly into your PC. Don't use USB extension cables, even active ones--it couldn't detect the Cameo over my active USB3 extension cable, but picks it up fine when using the USB cable that comes with the machine. Yes, my active extension is good, it's the same one I use for my workbench webcam.
-Tangential emulation and user selectable line sorting is a thing now! I guess they finally took my "This software makes my machine cut stupid!" rant to heart somewhere during the Studio V3 cycle.
-It seems to be considerably more accurate with curved shapes than my Craft ROBO was. The Craft ROBO used to act as if the spirit of Salvador Dali possessed it every time it came across a page of wheels and stuff, but as far as I can tell, Cameo 3 curves are spot on. Time will tell if this is a lasting thing.
-Auto Blades are nifty when they work. Currently, they only work properly when the Cameo 3 is plugged into the PC directly or connected over Bluetooth. It's fun watching the machine yoink the tool head over to the side and then go tappity tappity tap to adjust the blade depth.
More to come later. I have to rearrange my office tables today to bring the Cameo closer to my PC until Silhouette's done fixing the Bluetooth functionality.
Filing this under the Duh column: the tool drawers on the Cameo 3 double as a media slide and have flip-up support rails as well. Apparently you're supposed to pull them out and then flip out the rails before loading media.
I made 4 rigid chipboard carriers and will be waxing them later today. They're going to serve the same basic purpose as the terrible carrier mat that came with the machine, except without the destructive Sovereign Glue layer. I marked out a 8.5x11 template, notched the center of one short edge to make peeling stuff off it after cutting even easier, sliced it out, then traced it 3 times and cut out a total of 4 carriers. Took something like 15-20 minutes tops.
I love the Logan mat cutting equipment, it made slitting down the full size sheets into manageable chunks easy, and the Model 500 mat knife is surprisingly easy on my wrists when doing smaller cuts. It only takes 2-3 light cuts with it to cut 1.3mm chipboard sheets. My little Olfa SVR-2 would've taken 8-10 cuts to do the same thing. I need to go dig out my trusty old Alumicutter straightedge to go with it, and I'm gonna need a cheap 4 foot wide plastic shelf to manage clutter on the cutting table. It gets kinda cramped on there with all that stuff on the table at the same time.
I spent today tuning the cut settings on my Cameo and building some of the stuff that I'd been modeling.
I have approximately 8 more thumbs than I thought.
I don't remember this glue being so terrible to work with.
I miss you, Mr. Tweezers. One day, we shall be reunited. I just need to work up the motivation to toss the garage. Promise. I wouldn't lie to you, Mr. Tweezers, would I? Oh, up yours.
The tolerance on several of these parts is off. Calipers. What happened to my calipers? I had calipers, didn't I? Maybe the moving monster ate them. Or they're hanging out with the missing socks.
Wow, this glue likes to get everywhere except on the model itself.
Glasses. Definitely glasses. Note to self, find optometrist.
How the hell did I just glue the whole model to my thumb?
I'm done. Yes! Uh...did that part just fall off? Damn glue.
Uh. Um...honey, I've glued my left hand to the desk. Honey? Where are you? Help. Bring the pry bar.
Hello, Chris. It's good to see you online again.
Sausage Stuffed Zucchini Boats has made it's way into my "To Be Printed" folder, I am sure they will make it to the gallery forum at some point.
this is really exciting stuff I can't wait to see how the saga ends... will Chris get his hand unglued from the desk??!! will his wife come back in time to save his sandwich from the cat!!?? Will this model get texturing before Mr. tweezers pokes out one of Chris's eyes!! stay tuned , same bat time same bat channel!!
I will assume this is a grav version for the vehicle based on the outboard geometries. Looks good. I like!
Yup, kinda-sorta the same approach as the floaty cars I did when I was at WWG. I didn't like how that build went together so I'm gonna try something a bit different to simplify the lifter pod assemblies.
Wow...ok. I reran the math and turns out the tolerances would have been correct for 31 mil thick paper, but I'm using 8.5 mil thick paper and normally shoot for a middle ground of 10 mils with a cushion of 2-3 mils in both directions to allow for variance in printing stock. Looks like I mentally underestimated the actual size of the model and made the tolerances about 3x as loose as they should've been. This is what caused the pickup bed to warp and throw off the build of the back half.
The bottom was also a mess to build. Each lifter pod had 3 pieces (the outer ones shaped like fat fenders, plus a couple of bottom blending pieces) and were kind of un-fun to assemble.
I'm currently tightening up these tolerances and redesigning the bottom to require fewer parts while still looking interesting to look at. On the vehicles I did when I was at WWG, the front and rear lifters were full width across the bottom, which was easier to build but didn't necessarily look very interesting. I want to break up the silhouette a bit and have a nice inner slope on each side, but with fewer parts. So, I'm doing the same full-width thing as those WWG vehicles, but cutting them out in the middle at an angle. This means that instead of 12 lifter parts total, there would only be 4 lifters and 2 extra bottom pieces to fill in the hole between the lifters. If that looks good and is easier to build, then I'll adopt that approach.
1) these are 54mm? Oh gods why? Next tme I must print at 50%.
2) they are mirrored instead of having proper fronts and backs? The "back" side has thicker outlining but looks the sane as the front? I will see if I can fix that for you... I have a silly plan!
Yeah, it was just something I did as a quickie joke item when Squirmydad said he was waiting for models of sausage stuffed zucchini boats, plus it was an opportunity to take my pen tablet for a test drive. So, I wasn't worried about scale or utility.
I did opt for a side profile to make it go quicker, since my personal preference for figures whose primary plane of interest is one of the side orientations (cavalry, bikes, etc) is to mirror the front and back anyway so it looks good from wherever I'm sitting. The back outline is thicker for the same reason it's thicker on Jim's stuff--it makes sloppy cuts from the front side less noticeable on the backside.
Dude, my comments were totally in jest! Except for the silly plan of making proper sides. But I did love the model, I am in the middle of moving and my tools that are currently available are a new pounce wheel (never used it before for papercrafting,) glue sticks, scissors, and a steak knife. So the larger size and ease of assembly were very good for my limited resources.
I made some Sausage Viking Infantry, using my usual "dust cloud covering the missing bottom section" technique.
Heh, you found the inspiration for dressing the sausages up as Vikings! When I was mulling over how to fit the theme of "sausages in zucchini boats" into a paper mini context, I remembered that video from years ago, and rolled with it.
While I'm here, I might as well post an update!
I spent quite a bit of time experimenting with different ways of bringing the artistic style of my figures and vehicles closer together. I learned quite a bit about why I wasn't a big fan of the 3D rendered look for figures, but it took a 100-year old book by Harold Speed ( The Practice and Science of Drawing ) to finally put my finger on one of the biggest reasons I disliked that style.
In that book, Speed describes something called "dither", which basically boils down to subtle imperfections and deviations from reality that make a composition look artistically correct, rather than just mechanically correct. Put simply, well-done hand drawn figures tend to have an artistic life to them that makes them read as more alive and characterful than a sterile 3D composition. That "dither" was the one thing missing from all of my test compositions, even with all the other tricks I'd experimented with to make the renders look and feel like actual painted miniatures rather than tiny photorealistic people.
For example, I modeled some test mannequins with 28mm proportions and even wrote a hybrid photorealistic/non-photorealistic shader that simulated both layered dark/mid/light paint tones and a stylized lighting model, but that only got me 80% of the way there. I suspect that the remaining 20% consists of introducing that "dither" and experimenting with camera settings further. This is something I continue to experiment with while I bone up on classical drawing skills.
On the subject of vehicles and scenery, one element of the new artistic workflow is that a high-resolution, fully detailed 3D model is created first, then a lower-resolution version of that model suitable for unfolding is created. The high-resolution detail is then baked into the low-resolution model's textures. It occurred to me that the high resolution model could do double duty as a 3D printable mesh, so I decided to check the current state of home 3D printing to find out if there were any worthwhile printers available for $200 or less in 2016.
For years, $200 was the magic number for me, because that price point is within spitting distance of an upper mid-end consumer inkjet/laser printer, and I'd always maintained that once there were credible contenders in that price range, I'd look at branching out into 3D printed content, and Mrs E has been nudging me into going there for a few years now.
Lo and behold, I discovered the Malyan M200 and its Monoprice rebrand, the Maker Select Mini, which sells for $199 and seems to punch above its weight class in several respects. I snapped up a Maker Select Mini on sale for $187 while doing some holiday shopping for Mrs E and my Secret Santa recipient at work. I'm excited to see what 3D printing is like and find out what I can make it do. It would be really cool to offer 3D printable and papercraft versions of the same model, for one thing.
The other impetus for getting into 3D printing is the fact that my day job involves virtual reality, and I'm waiting with strained patience for Oculus VR to release its virtual reality sculpting tool, Medium. I've always liked to sculpt things out of clay, but don't miss the mess. The thought of being able to virtually sculpt a high resolution mesh for 3D printing, then retopologize and bake it for papercraft...well, it's exactly the kind of crazy Buck Rogers future stuff that I've been waiting for since the days of Popular Mechanics lying to me about atomic jet packs and stylish foil jumpsuits being commonplace by 2000.
So, that's the news for now!
How's the 'Shape other than round' project going?

The Tsarina's Daughter
by Ellen Alpsten
Publisher Bloomsbury
When they took everything from her, they didn't count on her fighting to get it back...
Born into the House of Romanov to the all-powerful Peter the Great and Catherine I, beautiful Tsarevna Elizabeth is the world's loveliest Princess and the envy of the Russian empire. Insulated by luxury and as a woman free from the burden of statecraft, Elizabeth is seemingly born to pursue her passions.
However, a dark prophecy predicts her fate as inexorably twined with Russia. When her mother dies, Russia is torn, masks fall, and friends become foes. Elizabeth's idyllic world is upended. By her twenties she is penniless and powerless, living under constant threat. As times change like quicksand, an all-consuming passion emboldens Elizabeth: she must decide whether to take up her role as Russia's ruler, and what she's willing to do for her country - and for love.

Swiss bus-crash victims mourned
By RAF CASERT. The Associated Press March 21, 2012
BRUSSELS -- King Albert II and thousands of mourners Wednesday remembered the 28 victims of last week's bus crash in a Swiss tunnel during a memorial service centering on the 22 schoolchildren whose promise of youth was shattered by sudden death.
Under a sparkling sky in northern Lommel, soldiers took part in a solemn procession that carried 15 coffins into a 5,000-capacity hall. The brown casket contained the remains of a teacher, the 14 white ones held the bodies of children who were on the cusp of their teenage years.
The students and the teacher were from one of two schools in northern Belgium that shared a bus for a traditional "snow class" vacation in Switzerland. They were returning from that exuberant holiday on March 13 when tragedy struck. Their bus, carrying 52 people, slammed into a tunnel wall. In addition to the dead, 24 children were injured.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
In Leuven, close to Brussels, a vigil with torches and candles lit up an evening sky as hundreds of students and citizens attended to show their respect for the victims of the second school that was hit by the tragedy. A full memorial service is set for early Thursday.

From breaking news to special features and documentaries, the NewsdayTV team is covering the issues that matter to you.
"Is there something worse than parents who lose what they love most?" asked Lommel Mayor Peter Vanvelthoven at the opening of Wednesday's service.
Fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters of the dead gave speeches reminiscing about their lost loved ones, including a daughter's favorite meal and a son's newly decorated bedroom.
"The snow classes were a true feast. Happy, smiling kids. Excellent weather, great snow," ski monitor supervisor Marina Claes said of the days preceding the tragedy. She spoke of snow barbecues, surprise parties, and on the last day "everyone got their much desired ski diploma," she said.

Activating Uptake
What is Activating Uptake?
What would it take to double or triple the number of communities on a faster, smarter trajectory towards preventing and ending youth homelessness?
Activating Uptake is a national initiative that helped us answer that question, and equips and mobilizes a critical mass of communities with a new framework to work on a faster, smarter trajectory toward preventing and ending youth homelessness.
Why is Activating Uptake needed?
The number of youth and young adults experiencing homelessness each year in this nation far exceeds existing resources. Currently, only 35% of youth and young adults seeking housing are being served, leaving 65% experiencing homelessness and housing instability*. The small percentage who are served wait, on average, five months before receiving housing support. Furthermore, recent research* has revealed how these inadequate response systems are not only perpetuating homelessness but are also contributing to national increases in the number of youth who experience homelessness each year.
Over the last three years, Youth Collaboratory has worked with local community providers, advocates, researchers, government agencies, philanthropists, and youth and young adults to design coordinated system and community level responses that prevent and end youth homelessness. Our work has focused on capturing key learnings iteratively, building evidence and creating practical tools to impact communities.
There is a growing divide between the few communities equipped to iterate towards this goal and the vast majority of communities. While initiatives focused on preventing and ending youth homelessness (known as catalytic projects) have rapidly moved the needle in what we know works and doesn't work, the number of communities utilizing this information remains low. The 75 communities involved in catalytic projects represent roughly 19% of the 402 Continuums of Care** nationally. In fact, a majority of communities have yet to pivot to a coordinated and systemic response to prevent and end youth and young adult homelessness. Most community approaches lack essential elements such as centering the wisdom of youth and young adults with lived experience, utilizing data to drive change, and designated leadership. This leaves a wide gap between the 75 communities and the rest of the field (86% of Continuums of Care). To shift the larger field, we need to reach a critical mass of communities. The Activating Uptake initiative is designed to define and address that divide.
What did we accomplish and learn?
First, Youth Collaboratory needed to identify elements and strategies that were working well in communities. These components were attributed to the success communities were seeing in preventing and ending youth homelessness locally. Eight 'high leverage components' were identified through a community process. Interviews were conducted with stakeholders involved in catalytic projects, where conversations focused on identification of high leverage components, the priority order of such components, and the role they see catalytic projects playing in efforts to prevent and end youth homelessness. Common themes immediately emerged, and when new or less prevalent topics were mentioned, additional details and community examples were collected.
Together, the eight high leverage components form the Activating Uptake Framework, a process for organizing efforts to prevent and end youth homelessness. The eight high leverage components include:
Authentic Youth Collaboration
Centering Equity
Prevention Focus
Collective Ownership
Strong Leadership
Cross Systems Collaboration
Having and Using Good Data
Capacity to Drive Change
Click here to view the full description of each high leverage component and indicators.
After we identified which strategies were working in communities, we then wanted to identify which communities were using them and how. The Activating Uptake Community Survey was designed to capture the rate in which these components are currently in place and where they are not; and to identify the barriers and opportunities for increased adoption of these components. Sixty communities represented by 55 Continuums of Care (CoC) were included in the survey sample. A total of 122 surveys were completed between December 2019 and February 2020.
Key findings and takeaways include:
The most common high leverage components across all communities were Strong Leadership (47%), Having and Using Good Data (44%), and Collective Ownership (35%).
The least common high leverage components across all communities were Centering Equity (2%), Cross System Collaboration (7%), and Prevention Focus (16%).
Communities that participated in a catalytic project (initiatives focused on preventing and ending youth homelessness) typically had more high leverage components in place.
Centering Equity: This high leverage component was the least frequent across all communities, and is central to the process and success of preventing and ending youth homelessness. Additional supports are needed for communities to continue to achieve this high leverage component and meet the needs of youth in their communities.
Youth and Young Adult Leadership: Responses from youth and young adults indicate that they are ready for more decision making power and crave the structures and supportive relationships to advance their leadership within communities. Communities need continued support to reduce adultism and strengthen authentic partnerships with young leaders. This desire aligns with the evidence on Positive Youth Development supporting healthy development, and strengthening community systems.
An Iterative and Ongoing Process: Activating Uptake is a framework to guide the process and the focus within a community. The measurable indicators reflect progress within each high leverage component. Activating Uptake is an iterative process which is ongoing. Communities and leaders must always strive to advance within each high leverage component. The work is never done until youth and young adult homelessness has ended.
Using the findings from this Initiative, Youth Collaboratory will develop a national strategy to equip more communities to adopt high leverage components. Furthermore, these findings will push us and our partners to increase our collective investment in clearly documenting the evidence of what works, and its impact on preventing and ending youth homelessness.
In the next phase of this Initiative, Youth Collaboratory will develop tools and opportunities for communities to learn more about each high leverage component and strategies for adopting them. We know that by amplifying practices that work, more communities will be on a faster, smarter trajectory towards preventing and ending youth homelessness. Additionally, Youth Collaboratory will develop systems for ongoing coordination with national partners, track community and system improvements, and strengthen structural advocacy to support this work nationally.

Activating Uptake High Leverage Components
High Leverage Component Description
Authentic Youth Collaboration: The community is engaged in an authentic, transparent, and collaborative decision making process where youth and young adults with lived experience are partners in the work and have power to impact change. The community has an active Youth Action Board representing multiple perspectives of youth and young adults with lived experience who are financially compensated for their time, expertise, and contributions.
There is a convening body of youth and young adults for the purpose of designing, monitoring, and evaluating homeless responses and strategies in the community. For example, there is a Youth Advisory Board, Youth Leadership Council, or Youth Action Board.
Community level goals towards ending youth and young adult homelessness are determined with participation of youth and young adults with lived experiences of homelessness and/or housing instability.
The CoC board has at least 2 voting seats dedicated to youth and young adults with lived experience of homelessness and/or housing instability.
Centering Equity: The community has an explicit commitment to equity for youth of color and LGBTQ+ youth, beginning in the homeless response system, including agreement that if efforts are not scaled up to end homelessness among youth of color and LGBTQ+ youth, youth homelessness will not end. The community acknowledges inequities and makes a commitment to not perpetuate the issues that exist, through power redistribution and deep understanding of racial equity and LGBTQ+ equity issues across all data points.
There are community level outcomes and indicators related to equity in place.
The community assessment includes a focus on the following subpopulations of youth and young adults at risk of experiencing homelessness and housing instability: pregnant and parenting youth, minors, LGBTQ+ youth, youth with experience of child welfare, youth with experience of juvenile justice, and victims of domestic violence or human trafficking.
A shared power analysis has been conducted to determine who has decision making power and who does not within the coordinating body of stakeholders advancing the goals to prevent and end youth and young adults homelessness.
Prevention Focus: At a community level, there is increased capacity to reduce inflow of young people into homelessness, particularly for young people with experiences that put them at risk of losing housing. Preventing youth homelessness is a high priority, requiring alignment and collaboration between youth and family systems. The community also takes a holistic approach to partnerships that go beyond typical partners (criminal justice, education, and child welfare) and include faith community, social safety nets, government, mental health, and parenting support networks.
Available funding has been prioritized for prevention specific interventions.
A set of strategies is in place to identify unaccompanied youth and young adults who are doubled up or couch surfing and are considered to be experiencing homelessness under any federal definition.
Public systems - child welfare, juvenile justice and education services - have screening and early identification processes for identifying youth and young adults at-risk for homelessness.
Collective Ownership: The community has and embraces a local or state plan of action for youth homelessness that includes system performance and population outcome indicators. The plan has a concurrent focus on coordinating its response as well as right-sizing the system to invest in an array of program options.
There is a commitment to preventing and ending youth and young adult homelessness demonstrated by a Local Action Plan.
There is a community level set of indicators that align with the community's goals to prevent and end youth and young adult homelessness.
Strong Leadership: There is a clear leader(s) who is a high level champion, acting with urgency, adapting, making decisions, and is respected in the community. Supporting that leader(s) is a specific body and/or entity includes the Youth Action Board and facilitates coordination between all relevant agencies on issues relating to youth homelessness with influence and authority to advance change. Additionally, leadership is able to mediate disparate stakeholder opinions into a common set of values and goals.
There is a specific entity responsible for implementing the community's action plan.
The leading entity has the capacity to make and/or influence decisions that advance an end to youth and young adult homelessness.
The leadership team includes individuals with authority to create systems changes to support the implementation of the action plan.
Cross Systems Collaboration: The community fully believes that the homeless system cannot end youth homelessness alone; they actively work to create strong cross system partnerships to meet the end goal. This includes a commitment to end siloing of systems such as child welfare, justice, behavioral health, and schools. Communities have strategies in place that demonstrate mutual interest and strong leadership collaboration between systems to solve one another's challenges for the youth they have in common, at all levels of the agencies - from leadership to the front lines.
Mechanisms are in place to coordinate funding streams to fund services and interventions with juvenile justice, child welfare and education partners.
There are efforts to enhance policy coordination with system partners to advance goals and resources to end youth and young adult homelessness.
A high level decision maker within each system is engaged in cross system strategies to advance goals to end youth and young adult homelessness.
Having and Using Good Data: The community has built a culture of continuously collecting, improving, and using data to inform decisions, even when the data is not perfect. There is comfort and confidence in data, largely due to having quality data that is available at program, system, and community levels. The community knows who is experiencing homelessness (quality by-name list) and understands inflow, returns to the homeless system, lengths of time homeless, from where youth are coming, and the community's inventory of resources.
Data is available on the following points to understand the experience of youth and young adults accessing the homeless response system during a specific time period (total number, inflow, outflow, and housing placement).
A strategy is in place to identify youth and young adults who may never enter the shelter system, and who experience "hidden" homelessness (doubled up, couch surfing, fleeing from violence, and immigrants).
Capacity to Drive Change: There is widespread belief in the community in the ability to end youth homelessness, and a specific entity and/or individual that facilitates coordination between all relevant agencies on issues relating to youth homelessness. The core leader(s), system partners, and community stakeholders are brought into solving homelessness at the system level. There is strong investment of infrastructure, specifically data systems. There is a concurrent focus on coordinated response as well as right-sizing the system.
There is a widespread belief in the ability to end youth and young adult homelessness.
The community acts with urgency to swiftly assist youth and young adults to move into permanent or non-time limited housing options with appropriate services and support.
*Toward a System Response to Ending Youth Homelessness, created by Youth Collaboratory in partnership with Chapin Hall and University of Southern California.
** A Continuum of Care (CoC) is a regional or local planning body that coordinates housing and services funding for homeless families and individuals.

In Austria as in Germany, there is no separate law. Franchising governed by general legal legislation. However, an interesting detail: from 1 January 2006 franchise agreements should not be registered in the Anti-Monopoly Service (in Austria is a beautifully called cartel office: Kartellamt). It's clear why: the structure of the franchising firm stance antimonopolistichna and lives only in the presence of healthy competition. And it must be purchased already enough experience in this business, so it's really estimate.

Q: Sort array of elements by their ID I'm trying to sort an array of DOM elements based on their ID. The array is populated by getting all elements with a given class:
var rowsList = document.getElementsByClassName("employee_grid_rows");
rowsList.sort(); //??

How do I get the sorting done by ID?

A: You have to sort the HTMLCollection
var rowsList = document.getElementsByClassName("employee_grid_rows");
console.log(rowsList);

var arr = Array.prototype.slice.call( rowsList );
rowsList = arr.sort(function(a, b) {
  //Comparing for strings instead of numbers
  return a.id.localeCompare(b.id);
});

console.log(rowsList);

A: rowList = rowList.sort(function(a, b) {
    return a.id.localeCompare(b.id);
});


Crazy town, that's what we call it here. No telling what will happen in the near future.
Conflict will naturally increase until some sort of catharsis occurs. Will that be war or some kind of diplomatic settlement?
IMHO, the western warmongers are used to getting their way so they will just double down – it's worked every time before. They have no plan B. On the other side, Russia knows that it's strategy of continually deflecting the hegemon's parry is coming to a close. The hegemon is desperate and Russia knows that it is cornered. The hegemon WILL strike out because its remaining strength is its ability to cause major havoc. It has no more subtle moves. If it doesn't pull a samson move, it will be seen as weak and then its era of dominant power will be over.
Sad as it makes me to say, I don't think we will get out of this situation without a military escalation where many people die. The hegemon needs to be severely wounded or killed, otherwise this dystopia we live in will only get worse. What's the meaning of having a human experience that is so depraved? Better to wipe it out and start over.
Aloha Andy – bet you're glad you live well off the mainland!
Proxy war with Russia, continuation of a long term plan that started with Iraq, or both?
Here's another analysis of the Syrian debacle.
The Western World is run by insane idiots.
We will see in few days what they going to do. I expect to gold go up only.
Who is pushing World towards next World War?!? , USA and other western puppets .There is no any opposition. Is there any smart politician??

Q: Problem with 1 Mac (out of 4 different Macs) having issue connecting to Airplay In our office we have an AppleTV 4th gen, 32gb, hardwired to our switch which in turn is hardwired to our router.
For Wi-Fi we have a Ubiquiti access point hard wired to the same switch as the AppleTV.
For 3 users running a mixture of Yosemite and Sierra connecting, disconnecting,  etc. from the AppleTV when their computer is connected to Wi-Fi works fine.
One user always has issues where they can connect. The icon in the top bar goes blue, and the AppleTV either stays on the home screen or goes black, but their screen is not mirrored. Sometimes it connects fine, but sometimes it doesn't.
Info on the Mac in questions :

*

*Mid 2012 MacBook Pro 13" (non 4k, one of the last ones with user upgradable RAM)

*i7, 16GB RAM

*Was running Yosemite, so I upgraded them to Sierra, but the problem still persists.

*The Mac itself doesn't seem to have any other Wi-Fi related issues. In fact, often when the issue occurs the Mac is connected to Wi-Fi, running Google Drive,  Dropbox, etc. absolutely fine.

The Wi-Fi AP is a Ubiquiti UAP AC PRO c. 450mbps 2.4ghz throughput, c. 1300mbps 5ghz throughput.
At all times the laptop is <6m away from the AP. All other devices that work fine on the Apple TV connect to the same access point and have no issues. At most there are <10 concurrent devices (inc. phones and tablets) connected at any one time, but usually one or a few devices are active (eg. currently connected and being actively used for browsing etc.).
Any ideas ?

A: I have not been able to fix the problem, after about 3 hours of trying.
Fortunately i found a work around which is Airparrot, it seems slightly counter intuitive to use a 3rd party app to run an native OSX function when speaking to another Apple product, but it works really well on the machine i was having an issue with.

District Official Says GSA Requirements Make City "Ineligible" to Keep FBI
The FBI's requirements for its new headquarters likely mean the bureau will not remain in DC when it moves.
Written by Benjamin Freed
| Published on December 5, 2013

The FBI is probably going to go to the suburbs. The likelihood of the feds staying in town when they vacate Pennsylvania Avenue's garish J. Edgar Hoover Building has all but evaporated with the District's top economic official effectively pulling the city from contention.
The FBI's preferred criteria for a new headquarters renders ineligible any sites the District might have proposed, Victor Hoskins, the deputy mayor for planning and economic development, wrote in a letter last month to Dan Tangherlini, the head of the General Services Administration, the agency that manages federal real estate. Hoskins's letter was first obtained by the Washington Post.
In a Request for Expressions of Interest published last month, the GSA wrote that the FBI is looking for a plot of about 50 acres on which to build a 2.1 million square foot headquarters, plus parking. The site also needs to be able to fit the bureau's security needs without making "significant impacts on the quality of the human and natural environment."
Those and other requirements appear to disqualify the District's proposal for putting the FBI on a 40-acre plot at Poplar Point, a tract Southeast DC along the Anacostia River that is currently used by the National Park Service but has been eyed for redevelopment in the future. Even with Poplar Point seemingly out of the mix, the District is unlikely to suggest a different location for where the FBI might land.
"Poplar Point is what we have," Pedro Ribeiro, a spokesman for Mayor Vince Gray, told the Post.
UPDATE: Dan Cruz, a spokesman for the GSA, writes in an email that the agency still wants the District to compete for the FBI relocation.
"The ad states that GSA anticipates approximately 50 acres would be needed to satisfy this project based on assumptions regarding building height, density, and security requirements," Cruz writes. "However, the language regarding the acreage is not a minimum nor a maximum requirement; it is a general ballpark figure. Smaller sites that satisfy all minimum requirements of square footage, security, access to public transit, and access to the Capital Beltway will be considered."
The GSA is taking submissions through December 17, and any landowner—public or private—can express interest.
