Q: Converting GOES x,y coordinates from a 2D fixed grid into latitude and longitude I am working with some GOES data in Python and I want to grab latitude/longitude coordinates from the data. GOES' stores their projection data in radians under x,y variables that are used to project onto their fixed grid. Their PUG has a formula to convert between the two, however when I try to implement this I run in to an issue where a lot of data is lost due to a math domain error.
Here is the formula from the PUG and my code:
proj = nc.variables['goes_imager_projection']

major,minor = float(proj.semi_major_axis), float(proj.semi_minor_axis)

H = float(proj.perspective_point_height)+major

lambda_0 = float(proj.longitude_of_projection_origin)

a = (math.sin(x))**2 + ((math.cos(x))**2)*(((math.cos(y))**2) +
((major**2)/minor**2)*((math.sin(y))**2))

b = -2*H*(math.cos(x))*math.cos(y)
c = H**2 - major**2

r = (-b - math.sqrt(b**2 - 4*a*c))/2*a

s_x = r*math.cos(x)*math.cos(y)
s_y = -r*math.sin(x)
s_z = r*math.cos(x)*math.sin(y)

lat = math.atan(((major**2)/minor**2)*(s_z/math.sqrt((H-s_x)**2 + s_y**2)))
lon = lambda_0 - math.atan(s_y/(H - s_x))

However, I keep getting a math domain error when it tries to compute r.
I know why it's tripping that math domain error, what I want to know is how do other programs bypass this? I know there is software that can convert from 2D grids to latitude and longitude (i.e Basemap), so what is it that my code is missing to do this?
If you wish to retry this, the values I am getting from the goes_imager_projection variable are as follows:
perspective_point_height: 35786023.0
semi_major_axis: 6378137.0
semi_minor_axis: 6356752.31414
inverse_flattening: 298.2572221
latitude_of_projection_origin: 0.0
longitude_of_projection_origin: -75.0
x = -0.106483996
y =  0.135044

A: The math domain error is probably being raised because you are passing a negative value to math.sqrt() when computing the value of r. I would check each calculation you are doing and see what b**2 - 4*a*c evaluates to because most likely it is evaluating to a negative numer.
For example, try the following code in a Python console:
import math
math.sqrt(-4)

You will see it will yield the following error:
ValueError: math domain error

A: The values of (x,y) that you are trying to evaluate are outside of the range of the Earth, hence the contents of the square root in the calculation of r is negative. These coordinates fall off in space and the corresponding projected line never intersects the Earth. With valid values of x,y, the code works well.
You could try to capture these exceptions by inserting an if statement to only execute the rest if b^2 - 4ac >= 0 :
if b**2 - 4*a*c >= 0:
  r = (-b - math.sqrt(b**2 - 4*a*c))/2*a

A new scheme to launch recharging facilities for electric vehicles in the south-east of County Dublin has been welcomed by the Green Party.
The initiative from Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown council will see electric vehicle owners able to make use of charging points across the area, helping to promote the use of eco-friendly cars in the region.
This news comes ahead of the launch of a new motor tax system on July 1st, which will see all newly-registered vehicles pay tax based on the level of carbon emissions they produce.
Green Party councillor Gene Feighery said: "With rising fuel costs it is inevitable that people will be looking at alternatives and electric transport offers that.
"It is vital that local councillors take the lead and ensure that facilities are in place to encourage people to make the switch."
A recent Sustainable Energy Ireland report called for the government to target businesses first when promoting the switch to electric fleet vehicles.

Today's cold, grey, and rainy and I'm going just a tiny bit stir crazy being coped up inside. So, I'm remembering Saturday's adventure up to the Russian food festival at St. Nickolas Church in Brookside, AL. There was sausage, sauerkraut, stuffed grape leaves, meat pastries, and much more that I can't remember the names of. It was all amazing food and worth the 45 minute drive. Just the baked goods alone would have been worth the trip.
I was going to say that it's a good thing I can only get Pecan Kolach once a year but that's not exactly true. You see, I got the church's cookbook which just happens to have a recipe for Pecan Kolach and lots of other tasty stuff. It does not, however, have a recipe for anise cookies which were another favorite. Anyone have a tried and true recipe?
Another souvenir, these small hand painted owl ornaments. Can't wait to hang them up.

WHO'S ON THAT SONG?
The saying "It takes a village" certainly applies to the Patti Smith Group's breakthrough single "Because the Night." Bruce Springsteen wrote the song around the time of his 1978 album Darkness on the Edge of Town. Jimmy Iovine, who engineered and mixed Born to Run and Darkness for Springsteen and was about to produce Smith's Easter, steered the song to Patti, who added lyrics of her own.

Music's biggest night is known for its glitz and glamor, with tens of millions of people tuning in to see superstar artists showing up to the ceremony in tuxes, gowns and the occasional giant egg.
But the Grammys wouldn't work if it weren't for hordes of people making the production hum along behind the scenes, including some 200 on the audio side alone. Ahead of this year's 59th annual awards, the Grammy brass took FORBES on an exclusive tour of the machinery that makes the show click.
"The Recording Academy takes special pride in their mission to present the artists the best way they can be presented," says Hank Neuberger, the Grammy Award Telecast Advisor to Broadcast Audio, who's been working on the show for 29 years. "We are the gold standard ... in many ways, this is the most demanding production in live TV."
On the eve of the Grammys, I was ushered through a gate behind the Staples Center. My first stop: a pair of $750,000 trucks, each barely bigger than a typical UPS van but packed with a studio's worth of equipment, responsible for the recording and mixing of the entire show. The trucks handle 192 audio tracks and feature fully redundant systems in case one breaks down.
After rehearsals, acts can come to the trucks and review their tapes. Sometimes, it's not just the music they're interested in tweaking. Bob Wartinbee, the mix assist engineer who owns one of the trucks, remembers Mick Jagger coming by several years ago and studying the tape to figure out at what point in his performance he should take his jacket off. "It's good to have that reference material," says Wartinbee.
Wartinbee's truck and its mirror image sit just outside the Staples Center; down the two-lane ramp nearby, the rest of the Grammy infrastructure hums away underground. Dozens of palettes packed with full drum sets and pianos are positioned along the walls, ready to be wheeled onstage for each of the 22 performances; vast batches of flowers languish next to elaborate chandeliers and disco balls the size of a Mini Cooper.
In one corner is parked yet another, even more expensive truck. This one--worth roughly $14 million with all its components included, according to systems engineer Hugh Healy--is really more of a mobile home crammed with audio equipment. Inside, it feels like a cross between a studio and a submarine. "We land about 300 inputs," Healy explains.
After the audio is recorded and mixed in the trucks upstairs, it passes through Healy's vehicle, where the other elements of the production are mixed in, from the jokes by host James Corden to noise from the audience. The final product is transmitted via fiber and satellite back to New York in less than one second as the show unfolds.
My next stop is a smaller, wood-paneled truck that contains the show's ProTools apparatus, which handles the backing tracks for certain performances. Though the Grammy performances are live, some songs include, say, an entire orchestra. There's not enough time or room to wheel such a group onto the stage.
Years ago, handling backing tracks was very complicated. "The tricky part was that they each had a different system," says ProTools mixer Pablo Munguia. This often left acts turning on the systems responsible for their backing tracks one minute before starting their performances; a slow laptop boot-up could potentially cause disaster. Now everything is stored with Munguia.
A few steps away sits a series of tables home to 60-70 wireless microphones, many of which cost somewhere in the neighborhood of $5,000 apiece. Each act has its own set, with brands ranging from Shure to Sennheiser; some artists keep their handhelds with them--including Beyoncé, who's known to favor a golden microphone.
One of the people who oversees the operation is audio coordinator Michael Abbott, whose makeshift office is located a few dozen feet from the microphone tables. His crew consists of 40 audio professionals and 15-20 local crew members. He's been working on the show since 1984. "In the old days, bands would show up and we'd just say, 'Hey, what do you need?'" says Abbott.
These days, the entire operation has grown both in terms of size and safeguards. But occasionally, something goes awry anyway. Last year, while Adele's piano was being lifted onto a stage, a microphone fell, causing a clanking noise in the broadcast and throwing off the singer's performance.
"All you can do is learn from your mistakes," says Abbott. "Communication only goes so far."
It's remarkable, though, that there aren't more mishaps in a 3.5-hour broadcast with more than 1,000 inputs--especially given that most of the performances are mashups created exclusively for the Grammys.
"In the studio, artists get weeks of time," says Glenn Lorbecki, Grammy Award Telecast Advisor to Music Mix Audio. "Here we have them for two to three hours."
Then, like that, it's over--and the crew must break down the entire production by the end of the night. Next year, the show rolls on to New York. And you can bet all the same pricey equipment and the same exacting standards will be there, too.

Home » Blog » What Are Private Proxies and VPNs?
Not many people know the difference between proxy servers and VPN. Although both tools offer the safe result, there are slight differences that you need to take into account when deciding to pick one of them.
The main purpose of each one these tools is to offer online protection through anonymity and geo-location spoofing.
Both services achieve their goal of anonymity and protection by acting as middlemen between your device and the greater Internet. By letting your traffic passing through proxy or VPN servers, you will appear as being in a different location.
Although the Internet is full of public proxies, we are not going to talk about them. Usually the so called public proxies are not stable at all and their usage can be limited to a few minutes.
The only real proxies are the private ones. Comparing with public proxy, the private proxy servers are reliable and offer real anonymity. Private proxies achieve their purpose because the servers are especially maintained for them.
The most important characteristic of private proxies is that they are implemented on an app level. For example, if you live in Canada, you can integrate a UK proxy in your browser.
While all web surfing will be directed through the proxy server, every website you visit will think that you are living and surfing from UK.
At the same time, any other app that is not connected through the proxy server, such as your email client will act the same and the email server will understand that you read your emails from Canada.
1. HTTP – designed for web-surfing one. They ca n interpret and filter only http:/ and https:/ traffic. With these proxies you can only surf the web. You will not be able to download torrents or send anonymous emails. Any traffic outside web- surfing will not be filtered through the proxy.
2. SOCKS – these proxies are more flexible because they filter any internet traffic coming to and from your device. Through these proxies you can download torrents or send emails without disclosing your location.
No encryption – your traffic will not be encrypted, thus your government of ISP can sniff your traffic.
App based – you might forget to divert your email through the proxy, thus disclosing your location and your identity.
Flexible – dedicated proxies for special use – social media proxies.
Read more about special use proxies, such as Instagram proxy.
The main differences between a proxy server and a VPN is that the VPN is system based, meaning that ALL your Internet traffic will pass through the VPN connection.
At the same time, it creates an encrypted tunnel between your device and the VPN server.
Nobody can see what your traffic is. Not even your government or ISP. They will see that you connected to the VPN,but they will not be able to see if you are downloading thousands of torrents or just checking your Gmail.
Expensive – they are 2 or 3 times more expensive than private proxy servers.
Slow traffic – through encryption, all your traffic passes through a filter and it needs to be encrypted and decrypted, thus slowing down your system.
All traffic anonymity – it can be achieve if your VPN provider does not keep any traffic logs.
Nobody can spy on you – not even your ISP or government.
Note: there is no tool to offer COMPLETE anonymity. While you can cover your Internet trucks, you will not be able to become 100% anonymous.
While the main purpose of both these services is anonymity, the end goal for your use should matter when deciding what service to choose.
For almost complete anonymity you should choose a VPN provider.
If you are looking for anonymity in special cases, such as social media automation or SEO, you have to choose a proxy provider. The flexibility offered by them and the traffic speed they offer is best suited for your special purposes.

JACK HUSTON TO RECEIVE "CINEMACON® RISING STAR OF THE YEAR AWARD"
Category: CinemaCon - Newswire
Written by Newswire
HUSTON WILL NEXT BE SEEN STARRING IN PARAMOUNT PICTURES' AND METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER PICTURES' "BEN-HUR" ON AUGUST 12, 2016
WASHINGTON D.C. (March 25, 2016) – Jack Huston will receive this year's "CinemaCon® Rising Star of the Year Award;" the honor was announced today by CinemaCon Managing Director Mitch Neuhauser. CinemaCon, the official convention of The National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO), will be held April 11-14, 2016 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Huston will be presented with this special honor at the "CinemaCon Big Screen Achievement Awards" ceremony on the evening of Thursday, April 14 at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The event will be hosted by the Coca-Cola Company, the official presenting sponsor of CinemaCon.
"Already known throughout the world for his compelling performance in the critically acclaimed 'Boardwalk Empire', Huston is poised to break out on the big screen with his upcoming performance in this summer's 'Ben Hur.'" noted Neuhauser. "The Huston family legacy is cherished in our industry, and it is a great honor for CinemaCon to be able to recognize Jack as he embarks on what we know is going to be a great career on the big screen."
Huston will be seen this summer in the title role of Paramount Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures' "Ben-Hur" releasing August 12, 2016. "Ben-Hur" is the epic story of Judah Ben-Hur (Huston), a prince falsely accused of treason by his adopted brother Messala (Toby Kebbell), an officer in the Roman army. Stripped of his title and separated from his family and the woman he loves (Nazanin Boniadi), Judah is forced into slavery. After years at sea, Judah returns to his homeland to seek revenge, but finds redemption.
