Q: Simulating nested loops In a beginner's programming book (free licence) there was the following code, dynamically creating nested loops in Java:
public class RecursiveNestedLoops {
  public static int numberOfLoops;
  public static int numberOfIterations;
  public static int[] loops;

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.print("N = ");
    numberOfLoops = input.nextInt();
    System.out.print("K = ");
    numberOfIterations = input.nextInt();
    input.close();
    loops = new int[numberOfLoops];
    nestedLoops(0);
  }

  public static void nestedLoops(int currentLoop) {
    if (currentLoop == numberOfLoops) {
      printLoops();
      return;
    }
    for (int counter = 1; counter <= numberOfIterations; counter++) {
      loops[currentLoop] = counter;
      nestedLoops(currentLoop + 1);
    }
  }

  public static void printLoops() {
    for (int i = 0; i < numberOfLoops; i++) {
      System.out.printf("%d ", loops[i]);
    }
    System.out.println();
  }
}

When inputting N=2 and K=3, on the screen should be printed something like [1,1],[1,2],[1,3],[2,1],[2,2],[2,3],[3,1],[3,2],[3,3] (with newlines, etc). The program works fine.
Then I tried to debug it and spent a quite some time trying to understand how exactly it works. I couldn't.
My question: why after printing [1,3] the variable 'curentLoop' becomes '0' being beforehand '1' ?
Also: In my debugger (Eclipse built-in) after printing [1,3] the pointer goes to the end '}' brace of the method 'nestedLoops' (with 'currentLoop' with value 1), and then suddenly it starts executing the for-loop with 'currentLoop' = 0. Where does the variable take its value '0' from? Why after going to the end brace of the method, it starts executing the 'for loop', without any call to the method's name?
This could be a very easy question to some of you; I'm just a beginner.

A: Because it's a recursive call to nested loops. first, it is called with 0. then it is called with 1. then with 2. when it gets to the number of total loops, it begins executing the loops (this is called the recursive terminal condition). however, each call to nested loops is placed on the stack, it executes k, then returns and executes k-1, then returns and executes k-2, then  returns and executes k-3 all the way down to k - k = 0.
if i were you, i would place a breakpoint on the call of nestedloops() inside itself and watch what it is being called with. then, as it is called, watch it work its way back down.

A: It might be solved with this library, for example.
In your case you can implement loops so:
new Loops()
    .from(1).to(4)
    .from(1).to(4)
    .action(System.out::println);

The result:
[1, 1]
[1, 2]
[1, 3]
[2, 1]
[2, 2]
[2, 3]
[3, 1]
[3, 2]
[3, 3]

The Battle of Wakefield took place in Sandal Magna near Wakefield, in West Yorkshire in Northern England, on 30 December 1460. It was a major battle of the Wars of the Roses. The opposing forces were an army led by nobles loyal to the captive King Henry VI of the House of Lancaster, his Queen Margaret of Anjou and their seven year-old son Edward, Prince of Wales on one side, and the army of Richard, Duke of York, the rival claimant to the throne, on the other. The Duke of York was killed and his army was destroyed.
The House of Lancaster was established on the throne of England in 1399, when Henry Bolingbroke, the Duke of Lancaster, deposed his unpopular cousin King Richard II, and was crowned Henry IV. His son, Henry V, enhanced the prestige of the dynasty by good government and victories over the French, notably at Agincourt. However, Henry V died in 1422 and his only son became King Henry VI when only nine months old. He grew up to be an ineffective king, and prone to spells of mental illness. There were increasingly bitter divisions among the regents and councillors who governed in Henry's name, mainly over the conduct of the Hundred Years' War with France. By the late 1440s, two opposing factions had formed behind Edmund Beaufort, 2nd Duke of Somerset, and Richard of York. York was Lieutenant in France for several years and resented being supplanted in that office by Somerset, who had then failed to defend Normandy against French armies.[1]
Richard of York was not only the wealthiest magnate in the land,[2] but was also descended through his mother from King Edward III's third son Lionel of Antwerp and through his father from Edward III's fifth son Edmund of Langley, leading to calls that he be recognised as successor to the childless King Henry.[3] His rival, Somerset, belonged to the Beaufort family who, like Henry, were descended from John of Gaunt, Edward III's fourth son, though by his former mistress, Katherine Swynford. The Beauforts had been made legitimate by an Act of Parliament after Gaunt and Katherine married, but Henry IV had barred them from the line of succession to the throne in 1407, to protect his own children's succession.[4] However, there was always the possibility that this could be circumvented and the Beaufort line eventually produced King Henry VII and the Tudor dynasty.
In 1452, York attempted to force Henry to dismiss Somerset from the government, but at this stage he lacked support and was forced to swear not to take arms against the King at Old St Paul's Cathedral.[5] Then in 1453, Henry VI suffered a complete mental breakdown. The peers appointed York Lord Protector and he governed the country responsibly, but Henry recovered his sanity after eighteen months and restored Somerset to favour. During Henry's madness his Queen, Margaret of Anjou, had given birth to a son, which dashed York's hopes of becoming king on Henry's death.
Fearing arrest for treason, York and his most prominent allies, the Nevilles (York's brother in law, the Earl of Salisbury and his son, the Earl of Warwick, later known as the "Kingmaker"), finally resorted to armed force in 1455. At the First Battle of St Albans, many of York's and Salisbury's rivals and enemies were killed, including Somerset, the Earl of Northumberland (whose family had been involved in a long-running feud with the Nevilles) and Lord Clifford.
After the battle, York reaffirmed his loyalty to King Henry, and was reappointed Lord Protector and Lieutenant of Ireland. Margaret of Anjou nevertheless suspected York of wishing to supplant her infant son, Edward, as Henry's successor, and the heirs of the Lancastrian nobles who were killed at St Albans remained at deadly feud with York.
Events of the year preceding Wakefield
After an uneasy peace during which attempts at reconciliation failed, hostilities broke out again in 1459. Richard of York returned from Ireland without leave and concentrated his forces near his stronghold of Ludlow Castle in the Welsh Marches. At the confrontation which became known as the Battle of Ludford, some of Warwick's contingent from the garrison of Calais, led by experienced captain Andrew Trollope, defected overnight. York and the Nevilles promptly abandoned their troops and fled. The next day, the outnumbered and leaderless Yorkist army surrendered.
York went to Ireland, while Salisbury, Warwick and York's eldest son Edward, Earl of March made their way to Calais, where Warwick was Constable. Lancastrian attempts to reassert their authority over Ireland and Calais failed, but York and his supporters were declared traitors and attainted. The victorious Lancastrians became reviled for the manner in which their army had looted the town of Ludlow after the Yorkist surrender at Ludford Bridge, and the repressive acts of a compliant Parliament of Devils which caused many uncommitted peers to fear for their own property and titles.[6] The country remained in disorder.
In 1460, the Nevilles invaded England through a foothold they had already established at Sandwich and rapidly secured London and the South of England where Warwick had popular support. They then advanced north to engage Henry's army in the Midlands. At the Battle of Northampton, part of the Lancastrian army defected and the rest were decisively defeated.[7] Henry was captured on the battlefield for the second time. He was taken to London, and confined in the Bishop of London's palace.[8] George Neville, Bishop of Exeter, was appointed Chancellor of England and Viscount Bourchier (York's brother in law) was appointed Treasurer.[9]
The Duke of York landed in Chester some weeks later and made his way to London with much pomp. Entering Parliament, he attempted to claim the throne, but was met with stunned silence. Even his close allies were not prepared to support such a drastic step.[10] Instead, after the House of Lords had considered his claim, they passed the Act of Accord, by which Henry would remain king, but York would govern the country as Lord Protector. Henry's son was disinherited, and York or his heirs would become king on Henry's death.[11] The powerless and frightened Henry was forced to assent.
Lancastrian moves
When the Battle of Northampton was fought, Queen Margaret and her seven-year-old son Edward had been at Eccleshall Castle near Coventry. After many adventures with brigands and outlaws[12] they fled via Cheshire to Harlech Castle in North Wales, where they joined Lancastrian nobles (including Henry's half-brother Jasper Tudor and the Duke of Exeter) who were recruiting armies in Wales and the West Country. They later proceeded by ship to Scotland, where Margaret gained troops and other aid for the Lancastrian cause from the Queen and Regent, Mary of Guelders, in return for the surrender of the town and castle of Berwick upon Tweed.[13]
At the same time, other Lancastrians were rallying in Northern England. Many of them, including the Earl of Northumberland and Lords Clifford and Ros, had estates and influence in the north. They were later joined by the Duke of Somerset and the Earl of Devon, who brought their forces from the West Country.[12] Northumberland, Clifford and Somerset were the sons of York's and Salisbury's rivals who had been killed at St. Albans.
The attitude of another influential noble in the north was also to be important, according to several accounts. The hot-headed John Neville of Raby had been a leading protagonist in the feud between the Nevilles and the Percies (the family of the Earls of Northumberland) in the 1450s. However, he also was a member of the senior branch of the Neville family which had been largely disinherited and eclipsed by the cadet branch headed by the Earl of Salisbury[14] and had much to gain by York's and Salisbury's destruction.[15]
The Lancastrian forces mustered near Kingston upon Hull, and were said (in Gregory's Chronicle, a near-contemporary account) to number 15,000. A substantial part of these forces encamped at Pontefract began pillaging York's and Salisbury's estates nearby.
York's response
Faced with these challenges to his authority as Protector, York despatched his eldest son Edward to the Welsh Marches to contain the Lancastrians in Wales and left the Earl of Warwick in charge in London. He himself marched to the north of England on 9 December, accompanied by his second son Edmund, Earl of Rutland, and the Earl of Salisbury. His force was said by some to number 8,000 to 9,000 men, but by others to be only a few hundred strong, as York intended to recruit local forces with a Commission of Array.[16]
York had probably underestimated the numbers of the Lancastrian army in the north, which was still being reinforced. On 16 December, at the Battle of Worksop in Nottinghamshire, York's vanguard clashed with a contingent from the West Country moving north to join the Lancastrian army, and was defeated.[17]
The remains of the motte of Sandal Castle
On 21 December, York reached his own fortress of Sandal Castle near Wakefield. He sent probes towards the Lancastrian camp at Pontefract 9 miles (14 km) to the east, but these were repulsed. York sent for help to his son Edward, but before any reinforcements could arrive, he sortied from the castle on 30 December.
It is not known for certain why York did so. One theory was later recounted in Edward Hall's chronicle, written a few decades after the event, but partly from first-hand sources, and the contemporary Burgundian Jean de Waurin's chronicle. In a stratagem possibly devised by the veteran Andrew Trollope, half the Lancastrian army under Somerset and Clifford advanced openly towards Sandal Castle, over the open space known as "Wakefield Green" between the castle and the River Calder, while the remainder under Ros and the Earl of Wiltshire were concealed in the woods surrounding the area.[18] York was probably short of provisions in the castle and seeing that the enemy were apparently no stronger than his own army, seized the opportunity to engage them in the open rather than withstand a siege while waiting for reinforcements.[19]
Other accounts suggested that, possibly in addition to Trollope's deception, York was fooled by some of John Neville of Raby's forces displaying false colours into thinking that reinforcements sent by Warwick had arrived. By another account, the Annales Rerum Anglicorum, John Neville himself obtained a Commission of Array from Richard of York to raise 8,000 men to fight on York's side under the Earl of Westmoreland, John Neville's older brother and the most senior peer in the family. Having gathered this force, John Neville then defected to the Lancastrians.[18]
Another suggestion was that York and his opponents had agreed a day for battle (6 January, the Feast of Epiphany) after a Christmas truce, but when York moved into the open the Lancastrians treacherously attacked earlier than had been agreed, catching York at a disadvantage while many of his men were absent foraging for supplies.[20] The simplest suggestion was that York acted rashly.[12] For example, historian John Sadler states that there was no Lancastrian deception or ambush; York led his men from the castle on a foraging expedition, and as each Lancastrian contingent joined in the fighting, York's army was outnumbered and overwhelmed.[21]
The Yorkists marched out of Sandal Castle down the present-day Manygates Lane towards the Lancastrians located to the north of the castle. It is generally accepted that, as York engaged the Lancastrians to his front, others attacked him from the flank and rear, cutting him off from the castle. In Edward Hall's words:
... but when he was in the plain ground between his castle and the town of Wakefield, he was environed on every side, like a fish in a net, or a deer in a buckstall; so that he manfully fighting was within half an hour slain and dead, and his whole army discomfited.[18]
The Yorkist army was surrounded and destroyed.
One near-contemporary source (Gregory's Chronicle) claimed that 2,500 Yorkists and 200 Lancastrians were killed, but other sources give wildly differing figures, from 2,200 to only 700 Yorkist dead.
The Duke of York was killed in the fighting. His son Rutland attempted to escape over Wakefield Bridge, but was overtaken and killed, possibly by Clifford in revenge for his father's death at St Albans. Salisbury's fourth son Sir Thomas Neville also died in the battle.[13] Salisbury's son in law William, Lord Harington and Harington's father, William Bonville, were captured and executed immediately after the battle. (The Bonvilles had been engaged in a feud with the Earl of Devon and the Courtenay family in Devon and Cornwall.) Salisbury himself escaped the battlefield but was captured during the night, and was taken to the Lancastrian camp. Although the Lancastrian nobles might have been prepared to allow Salisbury to ransom himself, he was dragged out of Pontefract Castle and beheaded by local commoners, to whom he had been a harsh overlord.[22]
Following Wakefield, after every battle in the Wars of the Roses the victorious side would eliminate any opposing leaders, making the struggle more bitter and revenge driven.[23]
After the battle the heads of York, Rutland and Salisbury were displayed over Micklegate Bar, the western gate through the York city walls, the Duke wearing a paper crown and a sign saying "Let York overlook the town of York".
The death of Richard of York did not end the wars, or the House of York's claim to the throne. The northern Lancastrian army which had been victorious at Wakefield was reinforced by Scots and borderers eager for plunder, and marched south. They defeated Warwick's army at the Second Battle of St Albans and recaptured the feeble-minded King Henry, who had been abandoned on the battlefield for the third time, but were refused entry to London[24] and failed to occupy the city.
A monument erected on the spot where the Duke of York is supposed to have perished is positioned slightly south of the more likely spot where an older monument once stood, but which was destroyed during the English Civil War.
The battle in literature and folklore
Many people are familiar with William Shakespeare's melodramatic version of events in Henry VI, Part 3, notably the murder of Edmund of Rutland, although Edmund is depicted as a small child, and following his unnecessary slaughter by Clifford, Margaret torments his father, York, before murdering him also. In fact, York was killed during the battle, and Rutland, at seventeen, was more than old enough to be an active participant in the fighting. Margaret was almost certainly still in Scotland at the time.
The battle is said by some to be the source for the mnemonic for remembering the traditional colours of the rainbow, Richard of York Gave Battle in Vain, and also the mocking nursery rhyme, The Grand Old Duke of York although this much more likely refers to the eighteenth century duke, son of George III.
"Dickie's Meadow", a well-known Northern expression, possibly refers to Sandals Meadow where the battle of Wakefield took place and where Richard met his end. The common view held that Richard was ill-advised to fight here. The expression is usually used to warn against risky action. ("If you do that you'll end up in Dickie's Meadow".) It is a moot point how early the expression arose, and whether through folk memory or local history.

Addiction Now: Safe Injection Facilities as a Public Health Strategy
6:00–8:00 p.m.
Maryland Art Place, 218 W Saratoga Street, Baltimore, MD 21201
Sarah Evans, Greg Hobelmann, Simone Speed and Clarence Brown
New Day Campaign
Please join Open Society Institute–Baltimore, in collaboration with the New Day Campaign, for a discussion about how safe injection facilities reduce overdoses and increase access to treatment by allowing people who use drugs to inject opioids in a medical setting. How does this fit into a broader harm reduction strategy? What kind of public education and stigma reduction could make this solution more possible, less controversial?
Participants include Sarah Evans, a former coordinator of Vancouver's Insite, North America's first and only legal supervised drug injection facility; Dr. Greg Hobelmann, a physician at Baltimore's Ashley Addiction Treatment; singer Simone Speed; author Clarence Brown; and clients of Powell Recovery Center, whose testimonials underscore the dangers of unsupervised drug use.
At the opening of the event, the Baltimore Harm Reduction Coalition will lead a 10-minute opioid overdose response training, after which attendees will receive a naloxone kit that makes it possible to save someone's life from an opioid overdose.
Sarah Evans is a senior program manager with the Open Society Public Health Program and former coordinator of Vancouver's Insite.

Horseshoe Bay Resort, a popular Hill Country getaway at Lake LBJ, has wrapped up the first phase of a $60 million makeover.
Highlights of the first phase redo include redesigned villas, a spruced-up golf clubhouse, a remodeled fitness center, revamped tennis courts, an exclusive new grill serving American fare, a new space for events, and a new entry off State Highway 71.
A key component of the makeover is the updating of 100 villas. The one-, two-, and three-bedroom Palm Villa Suites are designed to evoke a "home away from home" feeling.
"Feedback from resort guests and members on our improvements thus far has been outstanding," Bryan Woodward, chief sales and marketing officer at Horseshoe Bay Resort, says in a release.
Horseshoe Bay says the second round of renovations are scheduled to be finished in early 2019.

=== guidance

* avoid any platform-specific branching, to keep rules simple. for example, we could permit backslashes in absolute Windows paths (because those kinds of paths aren't xplat compatible anyway) but that adds rules and logic. prefer consistency and a smaller set of rules.
* detect and warn about potential error sources from bugs in scripts
* even though the script is python, keep it scripty and follow bashy conventions. for example, python's `os.symlink` is the reverse of `ln`. stay with the ordering in `ln`.

=== future

static and runtime type checking to consider (via https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html):

* https://github.com/python/mypy (may need to switch out pylint, which doesnt fully hit PEP484, for flake8 + flake8-mypy)

West Bengal Sabooj Sathi Scheme – The West Bengal Government has launched a free bicycle scheme for the students of the state. The name of this scheme is West Bengal Sabooj Sathi Scheme. Under this scheme, the state government provides free Bi-Cycle to the students of class IX to XII studying in all government-aided/ government and Madrashas of the State.
The West Bengal Government launched this scheme in September 2015 from Paschim Medinipur. During the announcement of the scheme, it was estimated that about 40 Lakh Bi-Cycles will be distributed to the students studying in Class IXth and XIIth.
The main motive of the state government behind launching this scheme is to empower the students, especially the girls and reduce dropouts in higher education.
Over 8900 schools, 40 lakh students, 8,000 truckloads of bicycle components, 2,500 delivery points, 3,500 fitters, 500+ Government officials, Panchayat functionaries, Elected Members of WBLA, MPs were included in the implementation of the Free Bicycle Distribution Scheme.
After the launch of this scheme, the school drop-out rate is reducing continuously in the state. It is notable that under this scheme, bicycles have been distributed to schoolchildren. Still, the sequence continues. Under this scheme where many bicycle artisans have got access to additional income and their economic condition is improving.
At the same time, with the increase in attendance of students in school, there has been a considerable decrease in the rate of dropout in the school. This has benefited the students of scheduled caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) classes of rural areas most. The experts also believe that under the Sabooj Sathi scheme, the state's economic growth rate has also increased.

10 Ways to Commemorate the Retirement of Tennis Legend Serena Williams
by Eric P
After 23 Grand Slam singles titles, four Olympic gold medals, and multiple ESPY awards, Serena Williams – one of the highest paid athletes in any sport — has announced that she'll be "evolving away" from tennis. Her career has been astoundingly successful and uncommonly fraught, with coverage of her appearance, outfits, and behavior both on and off the tennis court, frequently skewed by racist and sexist assumptions.
But her impact on American culture is profound – along with her sister Venus, the story of their scrappy rise to tennis greatness under the heavy hand of their ambitious father was dramatized in the Oscar-nominated movie King Richard. She's appeared on Law and Order and ER and voiced characters on The Simpsons and Avatar:The Last Airbender. She's designed jewelry, handbags, and launched a venture capital firm. And she's friends with Beyonce so, I mean, c'mon.
There are dozens of materials at the Library by and about Serena and her sister. Listed here are a few of them, including King Richard and Claudia Rankine's award-winning Citizen, which includes a biting exploration of how racism colored Serena's treatment by tennis officials on the court.

Was the Shire meant to be England?
In this case, the balance between "actually *was*" and "was based upon" is entirely tipped towards the latter. There is no hint that the Shire was in any sense supposed the be the country now called England in an ancient state. On the other hand, there is plainly a very strong resemblance between the Shire and the rural England of about a century ago.
More precisely, the Shire plainly could not *be* England in any literal sense: England is an island, and even changes in "the shape of all lands" (FR, 11) is insufficient to explain such a discrepancy (especially since even the westernmost part of the Shire was some 200 miles from the Sea). Nevertheless, the Shire was more exactly based on England than any other part of Middle-earth was based on any part of our world: the climate, place-names, flora and fauna, terrain, food, customs, and the inhabitants themselves, were all English. In effect the Shire was an idealized version of the rural England of Tolkien's childhood. Some of his comments on the matter were:
[The Shire] is in fact more or less a Warwickshire village of about the period of the Diamond Jubilee...
Letters, 230 (#178)
But, of course, if we drop the 'fiction' of long ago, 'The Shire' is based on rural England and not any other country in the world... [Later in the same letter he implied that the Shire was "an imaginary mirror" of England.]
There is no special reference to England in the 'Shire' - except of course that as an Englishman brought up in an 'almost rural' village of Warwickshire on the edge of the prosperous bourgeoisie of Birmingham (about the time of the Diamond Jubilee!) I take my models like anyone else - from such 'life' as I know.
See also RtMe 31-33 for a fascinating suggestion that certain components of Tolkien's early philological studies may have contributed to his later conception of the Shire. Shippey has also suggested that Tolkien's motivation in changing Gandalf's supper request in ch 1 of "The Hobbit" from "cold chicken and tomatoes" in the first edition t "cold chicken and pickles" in the revised edition was linguistic: that to Tolkien's extraordinarily sensitive ear "tomato" sounded out of place in a country that was a mirror of English, since tomato only entered the language in the sixteenth century and moreover originally came from some Caribbean language. Likewise, tobacco, used in "The Hobbit", was changed to "pipeweed", and "potatos" were usually spoken of only by Sam, who called them "taters" (RtMe, 53-54; Annotated Hobbit, 19).
Finally, great care must be taken not to confound the idea of the Shire's having been based on England with a concept found in Tolkien's earliest writings, that Tol Eressea (Elvenhome) eventually *became* England. This appeared during his early work on the Book of Lost Tales (which eventually evolved into the Silm). Very probably it had been supplanted even before he stopped work on the Lost Tales (1920) (BoLT I, 22-27). In any case, it had long since been abandoned by the time LoTR was begun in 1937, and plays no part in the 'history' of Middle-earth as presented in LotR, Silm, "The Hobbit", etc.

Hewlett-Packard To Slash 27,000 Jobs
By Will Dalton 2012-05-24T12:58:43.144Z
Hewlett-Packard is to cut 27,000 jobs by the end of 2014 in a move that will save the company up to $3.5 billion (£2.2 billion) a year.
In a drastic bid to revive its fortunes, HP will reinvest the money into the company as part of a "productivity initiative designed to simplify business processes". The cuts represent about eight per cent of HP's global workforce.
Meg Whitman, HP's chief executive who arrived in September 2011 to reverse the manufacturer's slump, commented, "While some of these actions are difficult because they involve the loss of jobs, they are necessary to improve execution and to fund the long term health of the company. We are setting HP on a path to extend our global leadership and deliver the greatest value to customers and shareholders".
A spokesman said it was too early to say exactly where the job cuts would hit, but no part of the business would escape some losses.
The cuts revelation has overshadowed news earlier this month that HP had overtaken Apple to again become the world's biggest seller of PCs. Instead, the news forms part of an enduring narrative that has brought some torrid press for the company, with Chief Executive Mark Hurd leaving over allegations of sexual harassment in 2010, his successor Leo Apotheker lasting less than a year in the job, and sales figures consistently falling short of expectations.
The restructuring also sees the head of HP's Autonomy division, Mike Lynch, replaced by Bill Veghte, HP's chief strategy officer. Lynch founded the start-up Autonomy and transformed it into one of the UK's largest software companies before it was sold to HP for $10 billion (£6.3 billion) last year. The BBC's technology expert Rory-Cellan-Jones tweeted that his departure was a "big blow for UK tech".

Camera auto-calibration is the process of determining internal camera parameters directly from multiple uncalibrated images of unstructured scenes. In contrast to classic camera calibration, auto-calibration does not require any special calibration objects in the scene.  In the visual effects industry, camera auto-calibration is often part of the "Match Moving" process where a synthetic camera trajectory and intrinsic projection model are solved to reproject synthetic content into video.

Camera auto-calibration is a form of sensor ego-structure discovery; the subjective effects of the sensor are separated from the objective effects of the environment leading to a reconstruction of the perceived world without the bias applied by the measurement device.  This is achieved via the fundamental assumption that images are projected from a Euclidean space through a linear, 5 degree of freedom (in the simplest case), pinhole camera model with non-linear optical distortion.  The linear pinhole parameters are the focal length, the aspect ratio, the skew, and the 2D principal point.  With only a set of uncalibrated (or calibrated) images, a scene may be reconstructed up to a six degree of freedom euclidean transform and an isotropic scaling.

A mathematical theory for general multi-view camera self-calibration was originally demonstrated in 1992 by Olivier Faugeras, QT Luong, and Stephen J. Maybank.  In 3D scenes and general motions, each pair of views provides two constraints on the 5 degree-of-freedom calibration.  Therefore, three views are the minimum needed for full calibration with fixed intrinsic parameters between views. Quality modern imaging sensors and optics may also provide further prior constraints on the calibration such as zero skew (orthogonal pixel grid) and unity aspect ratio (square pixels).  Integrating these priors will reduce the minimal number of images needed to two.  It is possible to auto-calibrate a sensor from a single image given supporting information in a structured scene.  For example, calibration may be obtained if multiple sets of parallel lines or objects with a known shape (e.g. circular) are identified.

Problem statement
Given set of cameras  and 3D points  reconstructed up to projective ambiguity (using, for example, bundle adjustment method) we wish to define rectifying homography  such that  is a metric reconstruction. After that internal camera parameters  can be easily calculated using camera matrix factorization .

The long…green season!
We are now entering into the season of Pentecost. This is a season colored in green, how appropriate for our long growing season, and it can run as long as 29 weeks. During this season we will find ourselves re-entering into Jesus ministry as told through the Gospel of Matthew.
Each of the Gospel stories walks us through the life and ministry of Jesus as he journeyed through a place and people who were feeling lost and persecuted and definitely confused! Jesus was a "lower" middle class Jew of his day and came from a family that worked hard and dedicated themselves and their lives to the G-d of the Israelite's. Jesus was raised in the full belief and understanding of who he was as a dedicated Jewish man and honored and respected his Jewish heritage.
Jesus challenges, however, to the very core of his faith tradition and this was a challenge to do better – to broaden the current narrow views and to break open the human proclivity to abuse of power. Jesus challenge to the power structure of the church and secular world was not about bringing to life a new "church" per se, but about bringing new life the church of G-d. Like most voices of hope and of change and of challenge, Jesus voice was misunderstood and feared.
We are each prone to the comfort of "settling in" – and that's not a bad thing – however, as we find ourselves lulled in the midst of this long green season of Pentecost where the colors don't change and the story opens up and we get lazy with summer warmth and long days, I challenge you to hear the story that Jesus is unfolding for us in Matthew. What is Jesus saying to the people, to you and I?
What are the changes that we are asked to make?
How comfortable are we in these changes? Why or Why not?
Be bold during this seasonal "lull" and explore within yourself the call of God!

I hate to be the one to defy sacred myth, but I believe he's a she.
For starters, the vast majority of men don't even think about selecting gifts until Christmas Eve. It's as if they are all frozen in some kind of Ebenezerian Time Warp until 3 p. m. on Dec. 24th, when they – with amazing calm – call other errant men and plan for a last-minute shopping spree.
Once at the mall, they always seem surprised to find only Ronco products, socket wrench sets and mood rings left on the shelves. (You might think this would send them into a fit of panic and guilt, but my husband tells me it's an enormous relief because it lessens the 11th-hour decision-making burden.) On this count alone, I'm convinced Santa is a woman.
Another problem for a he-Santa would be getting there. First of all, there would be no reindeer because they would all be dead, gutted, and strapped on to the rear bumper of the sleigh, amid wide-eyed, desperate claims that buck season had been extended. Blitzen's rack would already be on the way to the taxidermist.
Even if the male Santa did have reindeer, he'd still have transportation problems because he would inevitably get lost in the snow and clouds, and then refuse to stop and ask for directions.
– Men can't pack a bag.
– Men would rather be dead than caught wearing red velvet.
– Men would feel their masculinity is threatened, having to be seen with all those elves.

– Finally, being responsible for Christmas would require a commitment.
I can buy the fact that other mythical holiday characters are men. Father Time shows up once a year unshaven and looking ominous. Definite guy. Cupid flies around carrying weapons. Uncle Sam is a politician who likes to point fingers. Any one of these individuals could pass the testosterone screening test. But not St. Nick. Not a chance.


Brother Melchior Polowy, a long time Holy Cross High School faculty member and wrestling coach, died in November of 1997 from pneumonia at Dujane House in Notre Dame, Indiana. He was 86 years old. His death marked the ending of an era for Brother Melchior, who spent more than 50 years of his life at Holy Cross, from 1939 to 1942 and from 1943 to 1996. He taught religion, English, German and physical education, but he is best remembered as the wrestling coach for the all-boys school for almost 30 years.
Brother Melchior was born in Chicago and was a baker by trade. During his mid-twenties he entered the religious life to become a Jesuit Brother. After a leave of absence because of a family illness in 1938, he returned and chose to enter the Community of the Holy Cross at St. Joseph's Novitiate in Rolling Prairie, Indiana. He took his vows in 1939.
Brother Melchior and William B. Schriever of the New Orleans Athletic Club (NOAC) almost single-handedly put high school wrestling on the map in Louisiana. Together they organized the first Interscholastic Wrestling championships that were held at the NOAC in 1945. Brother Melchior was the chairman of the Louisiana Interscholastic Wrestling Committee. "He was truly a legend in this area and the father of wrestling in the state of Louisiana," Holy Cross principal Terry McGaha said.
Brother Melchior's Holy Cross wrestling teams won 22 state championships from 1945 to 1968, failing to win only when they did not enter a team in 1951 due to Brother Melchior being ill. He was recognized by the National Wrestling Coaches Association, honored by the Louisiana Coaches Association, and inducted into the Sugar Bowl Hall of Fame. His picture hangs in the Louisiana Superdome. "Everybody in every high school knew who he was, whether you went to Holy Cross, or Holy Angels, Mount Carmel or Jesuit," said David Tibbetts, a New Orleans firefighter who graduated from Holy Cross in 1973 and wrestled on Brother Melchior's teams for four years.
Brother Melchior retired from coaching in 1971 and relinquished his direct work with students in 1987. But he remained at Holy Cross until January of 1986 when illness forced him to move into the Brothers' infirmary in Indiana.
Brother Melchior was an imposing physical presence in his younger days. Even in his silence there was a certain amount of intimidation. And when he spoke you knew he meant business. Yet he had a sense of humor that was often corny - the students would laugh at his jokes whether they were funny or not.
In his later years Brother Melchior was still a memorable presence. He roamed the Holy Cross campus at the edge of the Mississippi River in the Lower 9th Ward in a golf cart with his beloved German shepherds. You could see him riding around with his dogs like a security guard and sometimes he'd have a student or two with him - you could see they considered this an honor.
In spite of his rugged, mountain-man look, he was truly a gentleman and a good role model. not too many years ago about 75 former wrestlers honored him. On a cold and foggy night he entered the cafeteria with the Holy Cross Alma Mater playing in the background. He greeted each man with remembrance and a broad smile, then he gave the most eloquent inspirational speech on the values of loyalty, commitment and dedication. He loved the word "dedication," perhaps because he was a truly dedicated man.
Brother Melchior was caring, as evidenced by his compassion for animals, especially his German shepherds. He had endless gratitude to the alumni who had given him Ludwig, Gretchen and Lisle to him with utmost respect and trust.
During the last four years of his life Brother Melchior faced imminent death on five occasions. When given the choice to fight for his life no matter what the odds, he emphatically responded, "I want to live." He felt that God's work for him on earth could be done if he lived. Even in his 86th year he experienced the value of his precious life not only for himself, but moreover for others through his presence and his prayers.
Brother Melchior was a role model for young men; he was a man of wit and humor; he was eloquent and, although he was a man of few words, he possessed great wisdom which was only superseded by his self discipline. He was a man who perceived everything and almost never judged others...at least not verbally.
As a great man among men, Brother Melchior was consummately religious. His devotion to God and to prayer and his dedication to the Holy Cross family was saintly in nature.
In the summer of 1998, the Louisiana High School Athletic Association voted to honor Brother Melchior for his dedication to the sport of wrestling. Starting in 1999, the Brother Melchior Trophy will be given to the coach of the teams winning the state championships in Divisions I, II and III.
Brother Melchior Polowy, C.S.C., long considered the "founding Father" of wrestling in Louisiana, received the Lifetime Service Award for his coaching and his contributions to wrestling. While completing a 55 year career of teaching religion, English, German and physical education, Brother Melchior served 29 years as coach of Holy Cross high School. During those years his teams won 23 Louisiana state championships. This accomplishment has been attributed to his introduction of weight training to high school sports along with his requirement that his athletics avoid flat-surface conditioning in favor of running the incline of the Mississippi River levee located behind the school.
The Louisiana State Wrestling Trophy bears Brother Melchior's name. He has been honored by Wrestling USA Magazine as its "Man of the Year," by the N.W.C.A. and the Louisiana Coaches Association. In 1983, he was inducted into the Sugar Bowl Hall of Fame and his photo was added to the display at the Superdome.

Die Minerve-Klasse war eine mittlere U-Boot-Schiffsklasse der französischen Marine im Zweiten Weltkrieg. In der damaligen französischen Typklassifikation waren es Boote der Klasse 2.
Die sechs Boote wurden sowohl von der vichyfranzösischen als auch der freifranzösischen Marine eingesetzt.

Konstruktive Merkmale
Die Zweihüllenkonstruktion basierte auf einem staatlichen Entwurf und war eine Weiterentwicklung des 630 Tonnen Typs. Die wichtigsten Verbesserungen betrafen die verstärkte und besser angeordnete Torpedobewaffnung. Alle sechs 550-mm-Torpedorohre waren intern angeordnet. Vier befanden sich im Bug, zwei im Heck. Die drei 400-mm-Rohre waren extern in einem einzelnen hinter dem Turm angeordneten schwenkbaren Drillingssatz montiert. Eine weitere Modernisierung gegenüber dem 630-Tonnen-Typ betraf die Vergrößerung der Antriebsleistung der von Vickers und Schneider stammenden Dieselmotoren. Auch die elektrische Antriebsleistung wurde gesteigert.

Bei Kriegsbeginn 1939 waren die Boote der Minerve-Klasse die modernsten mittleren U-Boote der französischen Marine.

Einsatzgeschichte
Zum Zeitpunkt der französischen Kapitulation im Juni 1940 befanden sich Junon und Minerve in Großbritannien, wo sie am 3. Juli im Rahmen der Operation Grasp beschlagnahmt wurden. Die Briten stellten die beiden U-Boote der freifranzösischen Marine zur Verfügung. Die restlichen vier Boote verblieben unter vichyfranzösischer Kontrolle.

Am 10. Oktober 1942 griff ein alliiertes Flugzeug 300 Seemeilen westlich Brest irrtümlich die Minerve mit Raketen an, wobei zwei Seeleute den Tod fanden.
Die freifranzösische Junon versenkte am 19. Oktober 1942 das norwegische Handelsschiff Nordland vor der Westküste Norwegens auf der Position .

Infolge der alliierten Landung in Französisch-Nordafrika und dem folgenden deutschen Einmarsch in Südfrankreich wurden Vénus in Toulon und Pallas und Céres in Oran selbstversenkt, um einen Zugriff der Achsenmächte zu verhindern. Iris fuhr nach Spanien und ließ sich dort internieren. Das Boot kehrte nach Kriegsende nach Frankreich zurück.

Die beiden freifranzösischen und das in Spanien internierte Boot überstanden den Krieg.

Die Minerve lief am 19. September 1945 auf Grund und sank. Das zu großen Teilen ausgeschlachtete Wrack liegt vor der Isle of Portland in 10 m Tiefe auf der Position .
Iris wurde 1950 und Junon 1954 außer Dienst gestellt.

Manuel Costas Arce (Puno, 1820 -  Arequipa, 1883) fue un político peruano. Fue Ministro de Gobierno y Presidente del Consejo de Ministros de agosto a octubre de 1864, durante la crisis con España. Miembro del Partido Civil, acompañó al presidente Manuel Pardo como primer vicepresidente de la República y en tal calidad ejerció la presidencia interina del Perú de noviembre de 1874 a enero de 1875, por ausencia del presidente, ocupado en la debelación de una insurrección en el sur del país encabezada por Nicolás de Piérola.

Biografía

Hijo de Juan Manuel Costas Gauna y de Martina Arce, nieto paterno de Francisco Manuel Costas Parcero de Lira y de María Ignacia Ruiz de Gauna Pedrosa. Su padre, salteño,  había fijado su domicilio en Puno por motivos políticos y luego en Abancay (entonces en el departamento del Cuzco). Estudió en Arequipa, consagrándose luego a la agricultura y al comercio en su provincia natal, labrándose una buena posición económica. Su estudios secundarios los realizó en el Colegio de Ciencias y Artes de Puno.

Durante la revolución constitucional de 1843-1844 fue nombrado subprefecto de Chucuito, cargo que ejerció durante varios años. Tiempo después se sumó en Puno a la revolución liberal de 1854 encabezada por el mariscal Ramón Castilla contra el gobierno del general José Rufino Echenique.

Como candidato a la segunda vicepresidencia de la República, apoyó la candidatura a la presidencia del doctor Juan Manuel del Mar, fórmula civil que enfrentó a la encabezada por el mariscal Miguel de San Román, que a la postre resultó triunfador en las elecciones de 1862.

Durante el conflicto provocado por la ocupación española de las islas Chincha en 1864, el gobierno del general Juan Antonio Pezet lo nombró Ministro de Gobierno y Presidente del Consejo de Ministros, debido a la influencia que tenía sobre los parlamentarios de los departamentos del sur, lo que hipotéticamente podría contribuir a que el gobierno lograra un entendimiento con el Congreso. Ejerció dicha función del 11 de agosto al 16 de octubre de 1864, y su gabinete estuvo integrado por Julián de Zaracondegui (Hacienda); el general Isidro Frisancho (Guerra); José Simeón Tejeda (Justicia) y Toribio Pacheco (Relaciones Exteriores). Se esperaba de él una política belicista frente a España, tal como lo reclamaba la opinión pública, a tal punto que se escuchaba constantemente en las plazas y calles: «¡A las islas!, ¡A las islas! ». En el parlamento, dicha posición maximalista estaba encabezada por el mariscal Castilla. Pero Costas asumió una política moderada y mantuvo las negociaciones para llegar a una solución pacífica, aunque simultáneamente fue preparando al país para la guerra, favoreciendo la adquisición de elementos bélicos en Europa. Ante la hostilidad del Congreso que impedía una fluidez en la toma de decisiones del gobierno, los ministros solicitaron facultades extraordinarias, pedido que inicialmente contó con el apoyo de Pezet, aunque luego se retractó. Viendo que había perdido la confianza del presidente, Costas y su gabinete renunciaron, tras dos meses de ejercicio ministerial. Se inclinó luego hacia la posición de Castilla, y cuando éste fue apresado el 6 de febrero de 1865 al ser implicado en una rebelión contra el gobierno, también fue aprehendido Costas.

Superado el conflicto internacional y la crisis interna, Costas fue elegido senador por Puno, cargo que ejerció de 1868 a 1872. Se afilió al flamante Partido Civil, que en 1871 lanzó la candidatura a la presidencia de la República de Manuel Pardo, a quien acompañó como candidato a la primera vicepresidencia. Suscribió en el Senado la protesta contra la rebelión de los coroneles Gutiérrez en 1872. Tras el fin de esta sangrienta revuelta, el Congreso revisó las actas de los colegios electorales y proclamó presidente a Pardo por haber obtenido la mayoría absoluta de los votos; como primer vicepresidente fue designado Costas, y como segundo Francisco Garmendia.

Gobierno

Manuel Pardo asumió el poder el 2 de agosto de 1872, acontecimiento que fue acompañado de celebraciones apoteósicas.

En su calidad de primer vicepresidente, Costas ejerció interinamente el Poder Ejecutivo del 28 de noviembre de 1874 al 16 de enero de 1875, cuando el presidente Pardo viajó hacia Arequipa para sofocar la sublevación del caudillo Nicolás de Piérola, llamada «Expedición del Talismán».

Terminado el periodo presidencial de Pardo en 1876, Costas se consagró a sus negocios particulares. Volvió a la vida pública durante la Guerra del Pacífico, siendo elegido senador por el departamento de Puno para el congreso reunido en Arequipa entre el 28 de abril al 20 de julio de 1883, llegando a ejercer su presidencia en 1883. Ese mismo año falleció.

Descendencia

Formó con María Dolores Urbina su familia, que se uniría en generaciones futuras con la familia del presidente Mariano Ignacio Prado Ochoa y de su esposa María Magdalena Ugarteche Gutiérrez de Cossío, de donde descienden las familias de Prado Ugarteche - Peña Costas; von der Heyde Ugarteche, Yrigoyen von der Heyde, y Terreriros Costas.

Q: JList with custom datatype I want to build up a JList with a custom datatype with data from a database.
Here is my code but if I am running it, it ends in a java.lang.StackOverflowError. The Exception trace log is pointing at the .toString() methods of two of my entities.
DefaultListModel<ErrorCode> listModel = new DefaultListModel<>();

for (ErrorCode codes : errorCodes) {
    listModel.addElement(codes);
    }

logUI.getMainPanel().getjList1().setModel(listModel);

My goal is to have that list and if you click on one entry a JTextArea should be filled with the content of another field of that selected object.
@Override
public String toString() {
    return "ErrorCode{" + "id=" + id + ", shortName=" + shortName + ", longName=" + longName + ", deviceType=" + deviceType + '}';
}

A: I changed my toString() method and then it worked.


No parent likes to think about it, but in the unlikely event that your child is abducted, quick response makes all the difference. Do you have all the updated information? Recent photos? Screen names, MySpace account details, personal blogs, medical information? Not that I want to make you feel like a bad parent, most of us have a tattered child ID card in our wallet, but that can quickly be outdated and if you're blind, how would you immediately read it in a real emergency? Recognizing this need, Global Security Alerts paired with Kingston Technology, a supplier of memory products, has developed the AMBER Alert Child ID Kit, which stores all the information on a USB device. It's convenient to use and update, which is the key feature, and keeps your child's profile, photos and online identity information securely in one place.

Growing up isn't hard to do -- it's keeping the kids out of trouble that's hard on parents. Well, one company, Pip Squeakers LLC, has figured out a way to help blind parents keep track of their kids: they put squeaks in their shoes.
Pip Squeakers are kids shoes with built in squeakers. Every time your baby or toddler takes a step, the shoes sound off. These audible signals give blind parents a minimal-effort means of monitoring their kids' movements. Because they're fun for kids to wear, the company also suggests that Pip Squeakers will encourage pre-walkers to take notice of and begin to move their feet and legs, preparing them for their first wobbly giant leaps.

Recently, someone asked me about the MS-Office Spell Check feature. Specifically, the reader wanted to know if there was a way to fix a consistent mistake throughout a document, with just a single click. Well, I'm happy to report that yes, assuming you misspelled the word the same way each time, you can fix them all at once. Start the Spell Check feature. Normally you simply choose your correction and then click Change, but wait! Don't go quite so fast. If you have some vision, look just below the Change button. Screen reader users continue to tab past the change button. See it? Yep, that's right. The next button says Change All. That's the one you're looking to use. By clicking the Change All button, the program will change all occurrences of that specific misspelling in the current document you're working on. So, yes, one click can fix them all!

A firewall is a system that is designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private network. You can implement firewalls in your hardware, software or both. Firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorized Internet users from accessing private networks that are connected to the Internet. With all that said, let's talk about some of the different types of firewalls available. Most firewalls use two or more of the following techniques: Packet Filters: A packet filter looks at each packet that enters or leaves the network and accepts or rejects the packet based on user-defined rules. Packet filtering is fairly effective and transparent, but it is difficult to configure. In addition, it is susceptible to IP spoofing.
Application Gateway: An application gateway applies security mechanisms to specific programs, such as FTP and Telnet. This technique is very effective, but it can cause performance degradation.

Forget the Hindenburg and its catastrophic crash in 1937, indelibly marked on to humanity's psyche, technology has moved on – somewhat – in the last 80 or so years. It may have taken time, but airships are becoming ever more acceptable.
The company's website says, "Airlander uses a combination of proven aerospace technologies from a mixture of airships (hull fabric and helium), fixed-wing aircraft (composite structures, engines, and avionics), and helicopters (vectored thrust). This combination makes Airlander a cutting edge aircraft with a game changing capability."
Unfortunately, that word 'helium' doesn't help matters. Although, Helium balloon gas is a safe, non-flammable, non-toxic gas which is lighter than air. It can be used safely either indoors or outdoors, provided "appropriate care is taken."
HAV's website continues, "Airlander's helium-filled hull and low flight speed also make it a low-vibration and low-G aircraft, which improves reliability. The aircraft also has features that make it inherently safer than other aircraft. This is particularly true in comparison to helicopters, as Airlander is not reliant on any single engine." It adds, "The design of a hybrid aircraft, combining buoyant lift from helium with aerodynamic lift and vectored thrust, creates significant efficiency over conventional fixed and rotary wing aircraft."
What is most intriguing is that the Airlander has the potential to carry and use future battery and solar cell technologies. The company is researching with the industry to develop electric engines suitable for the Airlander 10.
There you go!
The website points out, "Thanks to Airlander's modular design, we can progressively adopt these electric engines, first as a hybrid of electric and fuel-burning engines before moving to all-electric. This provides a realistic and risk-reduced development path for this vital technology." Yet, even in its current hybrid-powered configuration, Airlander 10 produces approximately 75 percent fewer emissions than comparable aircraft in similar roles.
There is plenty of information on the Airlander 10 within the Youtube videos below. Please view them.
