"Ad Hoc" is actually a Latin phrase that means "for this purpose." It is often used to describe solutions that are developed on-the-fly for a specific purpose. In computer networking, an ad hoc network refers to a network connection established for a single session and does not require a router or a wireless base station.
For example, if you need to transfer a file to your friend's laptop, you might create an ad hoc network between your computer and his laptop to transfer the file. This may be done using an Ethernet crossover cable, or the computers' wireless cards to communicate with each other. If you need to share files with more than one computer, you could set up a mutli-hop ad hoc network, which can transfer data over multiple nodes.
Basically, an ad hoc network is a temporary network connection created for a specific purpose (such as transferring data from one computer to another). If the network is set up for a longer period of time, it is just a plain old local area network (LAN).


Managed to get it in 4 parts in PNG format at 600 pixels/Inch resolution and piece it back together.
Note that the extraction method i used didnt extract the vectors but basicly did a print screen of the vectors at a set resolution.
Added town names, mountains, points of interests and bays/lakes in English and Cyrillic.
Added New Legends in several layers.
Reworked them again and color coded them for the loot edition.
Legends art From http://www.clker.com, Artists Mohamed Ibrahim & OCAL, modified by me.
All other art the property of respective artists/studios.
Made for noncommercial use for the community of the most awesome mod i ever played.
Please include this file if you distribute it.
Please do not take away the tag in the right lower corner on pain of nagging.
PNG size 80MB any further lossely compression using optipng and other not possible.
Working size in memory with all layers 7.1 GB when editing it.
Around 70 hours of work including manualy scouting every loot point for about 25 hours.
Note that i used the editor and not the actual mod with the help of the loot sheet at http://picacid.com/arma2/loot_en.html.
Self taught Gimp newb without access to a army of trained chimps to check for errors so please forgive any faults or blatant disregards for proffessional standards or methods.
Any suggestions to improving the map in any way please post in the thread on the Dayz forum or send a mail.
A complete marked map with all the loot points that matters (2 or more in most cases) in colors by loot type suggested by "TeaLeaf"
Major loot points got its own colorcoded legends thats when possible positioned on the specific building without disupting it.
Major loot points are now marked beside the city/location name in larger size to make finding them at lower zoom easier.
Added a couple of locations that was missing.
Legends reworked to match the new loot type color coding.
Other optimizations and rezising of text.
New Logo in the corner tried to keep it small.
to the right side of the location name is a generic legend icon telling you that the location containes a major loot point, well or other point of interest.
Buildings that were previously grey are now colored depending on loot it contains, if it contains large amount of it it also got a small miniature marking of the same legend as in the location name.
Bulding that have no footprint like wells, gas stations & Deer huts have instead a sligthly larger legend icon that show the aproximate location of it.
*IMPORTANT* Need some feedback on what more should be marked on the map along with what ppl think about me reintroducing the coordinate lines.
Also would like to know if i missed anything like lootpoint or other inaccuracies.
*WARNING READ BEFORE USE*Will take away the exploration gameplay of the game and with that the fun of said exploration.
Finding things out for yourself is a big part of the game so if your not sure you really really need to have a map showing everything then dont download or use it.
Superior quality legends with different versions for general marking and mayor loot point marking that is less blurry from "Mars".
More variations of loot icons for higher accuracy of loot points to be expected.
New source map with higher resolution and AA before export.
Whatever improvements the community agrees upon.
2 different versions A&B one with the new type rendered text and one with the old type high readability text.
Some more lootpoints like tents will be added.
Really fast and work like google map.
You are a winner my good man.
It's nice and quick, although the green icons blend in with the rest of the map at times which makes for some unnecessary eye zooming.
Modified my zoomable version a bit.
It's nice and quick' date=' although the green icons blend in with the rest of the map at times which makes for some unnecessary eye zooming.
have a darker green on the next version im currently working on to compensate for this.
Just a warning to beginners, any seperate maps and especially loot maps will destroy a big part of the excitement the game offers. Do this for your own risk, since exploring is a huge part of this Arma 2 mod.
really usefull thank you maxander, following the thread, for further updates (?
Again, good work Max. Only thing I would like to see is gridline/coordinates, but not sure if that is feasible.
Again' date=' good work Max. Only thing I would like to see is gridline/coordinates, but not sure if that is feasible.
I will add it in a version later.
Will take some work to get the lines correctly alligned but is one of the things i want to add.
Been working on V2 and im currently at a decision point on the design.
After spending way to many hours messing with the text and the icons and making it look good i find that it is getting harder to read when placed on the map.
I will therefor scrap the design and going with the quick and simplified variant, no filters or other stuff that will reduce the quality of the text or icons at low pixel editing.
I will move back to high contrast colors in order to make it easier to read.
When im done with it i will make it public and then start working on a v2 variant with a more pleasant look.
Going to take some time but im confident that it will be for the better.
Those two deer stands are either not accurately represented, or don't exist at all, as I could not find them.
Those two deer stands are either not accurately represented' date=' or don't exist at all, as I could not find them.
The tents will be added in next version along with corrections.
Almost done with the new fonts after starting from scratch and made them easier to read and better looking.
Map Loot locations all transfered to new map just going to do some changes to coloring.
Then legend work and finishing up the details.
Also need to find the specific locations of the tents to add them.
20-30 hours of work i think.
Im waiting patiently for this release :D Good work!
If only this could replace my ingame map. Very helpful, if only I had one when I first started.
Those deerstands are there, the NW one is a little bit more NW of the NEXT treeline up, the map is slightly off. Also there is one more deerstand I've discovered that is not on this map or the other one I used before it, that being said, great map. I use it all the time, I'm actually going to start adding some more loot spots i've found, as I think there are just a few you've missed that I've spotted randomly.
Some hardware problems along with a absurd notion from sellers to not recognize my internet fame credits as legal tenders to replace the above hardware have forced me to halt the work.
I am not able to edit the file untill i gathered the nececary funds to buy some new RAM.
Will take some time but by cutting down on unnececary stuff like beans (need to lose some weight anyway) it should only take a month or so.
Sorry for the wait but have no choice in the matter.
Love the map maxander, best one out there - keep up the good work!
Is there a version with no legends etc?
Cool beans! This is a great map I really do appreciate it Maxander. Printed out some areas, but I use a laptop beside my pc just for the map.


EDMONTON, Alberta (CNS) — While video and photos of the raging inferno that destroyed much of Fort McMurray were being flashed around the world, Jason and Katharine Campbell and their two sons were expressing gratitude for all that they still have.
"We've been focusing on gratitude because it's easy to relive the horror stories and relive the disappointment and the fear," Katharine Campbell said following a May 8 Mass for evacuees at Edmonton's Resurrection Church.
"Every night before bed we've included a gratitude prayer and the boys (Ryan and Evan) have had to think hard about what they're most grateful about," she said.
Katharine Campbell is an English teacher and Jason Campbell is vice principal at Holy Trinity Catholic High School in Fort McMurray. They were part of a group, mainly associated with Catholic schools in the evacuated city, who packed the church for a special Mass celebrated by St. Paul Bishop Paul Terrio.
When Holy Trinity Principal Lucy Moore fled the school May 3, she took only her laptop with her. In that laptop were email addresses for staff and parents of students at the school.
In the five days prior to the Mass, she sent three emails to her entire list, which helped organize the Mass.
The coming-together of Fort McMurray Catholics late in the afternoon on Mother's Day brought forth countless hugs and tears.
"You're joined; you're a community; you're one body in Christ," said Moore.
While no one knows how long it will take before residents return to the oil-sands city, Moore is determined that the school hold its Mass for graduating seniors by the end of June.
Monica Mankowski, deputy superintendent of the Catholic school system, said the Mass was an opportunity for Fort McMurray Catholics to pray and grieve together as a community.
"We are so grateful to have everyone safely out of Wood Buffalo," said Mankowski, who took a group of 14 in a van to spend a couple of days at her family cottage near Boyle, southwest of Lac La Biche.
The bishop said that among the people at the May 8 Mass was Deacon Raymond Chan, who serves in the Fort McMurray's St. John the Baptist Parish.
Deacon Chan uses a wheelchair and is unable to speak; his ministry is one of prayer. Still alert, he shares his reflections weekly in the parish bulletin.
In response, Deacon Chan raised his one good thumb.
The Campbells, who came to Fort McMurray 11 years ago from Cape Breton, were planning to head to Nova Scotia to stay with family until they hear that their school is re-opening.
One reason for their gratitude is that they were contacted by friends whom he had not seen in about 15 years. The friends learned through Facebook that the Campbells were leaving Fort McMurray, and somehow they found Campbells' phone number.
"We've stayed on their farm for four days," Jason Campbell said, adding that meant their sons did not have to experience the stresses of living in an evacuation center.
The Mass at Resurrection Church was a joyous time to reunite with their support network, the couple said.
"This is family for us. This is the family we see every day," Katharine Campbell said.
Argan is editor of Western Catholic Reporter, newspaper of the Edmonton Archdiocese. Morningstar is a reporter at the paper.

Politics/ Fall 2014
Battling for the urban vote
Suburbs are losing their clout as the road to the governor's office now runs through the state's cities
Paul McMorrow	0 Comments Nov 15, 2014
robert lewis jr. stood on a stage in Dorchester, gripping a podium and firing up the crowd in front of him, hollering, "Isn't it so great to be with a winner?"
There wasn't anything unusual about the setting Lewis found himself in. He runs a foundation that uses baseball to mentor city kids. Before that, he held high positions at the Boston Foundation, and in ex-Boston mayor Tom Menino's administration. He's a political and civic fixture in Boston neighborhoods.
The guy Lewis was with this September evening was another story. Four years ago, Charlie Baker got drubbed up and down Boston. He lost the city to Gov. Deval Patrick by 47 points, and trailed Patrick in Boston's majority-minority precincts by 77 points. Baker's 2010 gubernatorial campaign was politically toxic in the neighborhoods Lewis works in. Yet here was Lewis, kicking off Baker's general election sprint in Dorchester, and trading energetic high-fives with the Republican gubernatorial hopeful. "Charlie shows up," Lewis roared. "He's there, in the batting cages, on the fields, walking the streets. This guy is in the boardroom and on the block."
Most of the comparisons between Charlie Baker's current run for governor and the one that fell short against Patrick four years ago jump straight to Baker's sunny new demeanor. But the overhaul of Charlie Baker's gubernatorial bid goes far deeper than the question of whether he acts gregarious, or prickly. The real difference is where Baker is campaigning, and whose votes he's chasing. That's what put Robert Lewis Jr. on stage alongside Charlie Baker in September.
Baker launched his campaign in Lowell. He's repeatedly barnstormed through Lawrence, Springfield, Chelsea, and Worcester. He marched in the annual Dorchester Day parade sporting a "Dorchester Strong" T-shirt. Baker held more than 100 campaign events in Boston before ringing in his Republican primary victory with Lewis, in Dorchester. As he races toward Election Day, Baker is taking the fight to Martha Coakley, his Democratic opponent, in the urban communities where Massachusetts Democrats usually shine.
Bill Weld, Paul Cellucci, and Mitt Romney strung together 16 straight years of Republican control of the governor's office by mining the bedroom communities surrounding Route 128 and Interstate 495 for votes. The last three significant statewide races — Scott Brown's 2010 US Senate win over Coakley, Patrick's successful 2010 reelection bid against Baker, and Elizabeth Warren's 2012 tilt against Brown — broke the mold Weld, Cellucci, and Romney established. All three races hinged on voting in urban communities, not the suburbs. Brown topped Coakley by making a raid across Democratic lines. Patrick largely erased the urban gains Brown had made, and two years later, a relentless Warren get-out-the-vote operation blew Brown's doors off in the same cities that had handed him his Senate seat in 2010.
The Brown, Patrick, and Warren victories all speak to a changed electoral landscape. Urban communities are now handing Republicans far more lopsided defeats than they were when Baker's old bosses, Weld and Cellucci, were winning their races for governor. So it's not enough anymore for Republicans seeking statewide office in Massachusetts to crank away in the suburbs. They also have to pay serious attention to their margins in the cities, where demographic shifts are making Massachusetts urban centers increasingly hostile places for Republicans.
The state's changing political geography leaves Martha Coakley and Charlie Baker in very different places, as they head toward November's election. Coakley is hoping to harness the rising Democratic tide, while Baker has to find a way to reverse it.
Cities getting more Democratic
Scott Brown swept past Martha Coakley in 2010 by rolling up enormous margins in the suburbs, and eroding Coakley's margins in Democratic-leaning cities. He turned heads when he won Lowell by 5 percentage points. But in most cases, Brown didn't have to win cities; all he had to do was keep things close enough to let his strong showings in the suburbs carry the day. He did well by only losing Worcester by 5 points, and staying within 10 points of Coakley in Brockton. In Fall River, losing by 16 points was still good enough to put Brown 21 points ahead of the pace Romney had set in that city in 2002.
The victory map Brown established in January 2010 isn't just remarkable because Brown ran strongly in cities that had backed Deval Patrick in 2006, and would line up behind Patrick again that November. Brown's real accomplishment was winning in a state where the political climate simply is less welcoming to Republicans than it was in the 1990s.
Towns that vote Democratic are getting bluer, and Republican towns are getting redder.
The past two decades have seen Massachusetts politics swing in a partisan direction. State election returns once looked like a quilt, with patches of Republican red and Democratic blue towns scattered from the Berkshires to Cape Cod. Now, however, Massachusetts has sorted itself into three distinct electoral blocs: solidly Democratic towns run from the New York border to the Quabbin Reservoir, and from Boston out to a ring of well-to-do suburbs, with little but solidly Republican towns in between the two. (See "The Red-Blue Color Divide in Massachusetts," CW, Winter 2014.) This regional partisan sorting means relatively few towns swing between the Republican and Democratic columns anymore. Statewide elections in Massachusetts now mostly hinge on turnout and margins of victory.
The state's new political polarization hasn't just carved out partisan regions, like the Democratic west and the solidly Republican southeastern suburbs. Municipalities in these newly polarized regions are now far more partisan than they were when voters sent Weld, Cellucci, and Romney to the governor's office. Towns that vote Democratic are getting bluer, and Republican towns are getting redder. This is a looming problem for Massachusetts Republicans, because in two of the last three major statewide elections, bigger wins in the suburbs haven't been enough to offset ever-widening Democratic margins in the cities.
To size up local partisanship, CommonWealth looked not just at the winners and losers of individual towns in different elections, but also how far from the overall electoral margin an individual town's votes fall. This approach strips away the effects of a Democratic or Republican win in any given year, and measures how Democratic or Republican a given town voted relative to the state at large.
In 1998, for instance, Paul Cellucci beat Scott Harshbarger by 3.4 points statewide. Harshbarger beat Cellucci by less than 2 percentage points in Worcester. So, in that contest, Worcester was roughly 5 points more Democratic than Massachusetts as a whole. Cellucci lost Boston by 20 points, a result that put Boston 24 points outside the statewide margin.
The chart to the left shows widening partisanship among both Democratic- and Republican-voting towns. The movement matters most in densely-packed cities, where a shift of a few percentage points equals scores of votes.
While Worcester voted more Democratic, by 5 points, than the state as a whole when Cellucci won the governor's office, when Elizabeth Warren stormed past Scott Brown two years ago, Worcester was 16 points more Democratic than the rest of Massachusetts. Similar swings toward Democrats from the 1998 election to the 2012 election took place in other cities: in Springfield (from a 16-point Democratic lean to 40 points), Chelsea (14 to 42 points), Holyoke (12 to 32 points), Lawrence (7 to 50 points), and Boston (24 to 41 points). Brockton went from being 2 points more Republican than the Massachusetts electorate in 1998, to being 28 points more Democratic in 2012. Most of these cities were already Democratic-leaning communities, but now Democrats are running up the score by brutal margins, like Elizabeth Warren's 58-point plastering of Scott Brown in Lawrence.
Some Massachusetts cities, such as Fitchburg, Chicopee, Taunton, and New Bedford, now tilt Democratic by smaller margins than they did in 1998. They're the exceptions, though. Most urban areas in Massachusetts are moving deeper into the Democratic column, and it's complicating Republicans' electoral math.
Suburbs lose their clout
Scott Brown's 2010 Senate victory marked the end of the familiar suburban-centric political map in Massachusetts, and the emergence of a victory map running through urban areas. Brown's 2010 win was remarkable because he carved out a statewide majority, despite some serious Democratic headwinds in cities.
The campaign strategists behind Patrick's 2010 reelection campaign and Warren's 2012 Senate run recognized these headwinds, and exploited them. Warren and Patrick's campaigns were built on the same premise: Scott Brown had run relatively well in 2010 in cities where he shouldn't have, and if Democrats turned out their voters in those cities, Republicans wouldn't have an answer.
Patrick invested enormous amounts of time and money building up his campaign on the South Coast, while his running mate, Tim Murray, pushed hard in and around Worcester. A half-hour after the polls closed in November 2010, a friend called Doug Rubin, Patrick's senior political strategist, with returns from Taunton. Scott Brown had taken the city by 15 points the previous January; Patrick flipped the city back to the Democratic column. "At that point, I didn't know whether we were going to win or lose," Rubin recalls, "but I knew that our strategy had paid off." The Taunton results foreshadowed big Patrick wins in Fall River, New Bedford, and Worcester.
Two years later, Warren's Senate campaign built on Patrick's urban strategy. She put together a formidable get-out-the-vote operation that swamped Brown in cities like Lowell, Lawrence, Holyoke, Chelsea, and Springfield.
Demographic changes are helping drive Massachusetts cities toward Democrats. Charlie Baker's 77-point loss in Boston's majority-minority precincts in 2010 was indicative of broader Republican struggles to win over nonwhite voters.
One-fourth of all Massachusetts residents live in the state's 10 largest cities: Boston, Springfield, Worcester, Lowell, Cambridge, New Bedford, Fall River, Brockton, Lynn, and Quincy. Most of these cities have turned sharply against Republicans. They are becoming tougher ground for Republican candidates as they become less white.
Between 2000 and 2010, the 10 most populous cities in Massachusetts grew as quickly as the entire state did. But the state's largest cities experienced tremendous demographic churn. These cities were already home to a disproportionate share of nonwhite Massachusetts residents, but between 2000 and 2010, the state's largest cities became both less white in absolute terms, and less white in relation to the rest of the state. The white population in the state's 10 largest cities dropped from 60 percent in 2000, to 53 percent in 2010. (Roughly one in four Massachusetts residents are nonwhite.) The Commonwealth's overall minority population grew between 2000 and 2010, but it grew far more quickly in large urban areas.
Large minority populations have delivered increasingly lopsided margins to Democrats in recent years. In 2010, Baker suffered defeats of at least 20 points in 10 cities with significant minority populations (Boston, Brockton, Cambridge, Chelsea, Holyoke, Lawrence, New Bedford, Randolph, Springfield, and Worcester). Scott Brown won in 2010 despite losing seven of those same communities by at least 20 points; in 1998, Cellucci had been blown out in just two of them: Boston and Cambridge.
Coakley, Baker go where votes are
Even Martha Coakley's most fervent supporters will admit that speeches aren't the attorney general's thing, that something in Coakley goes flat when she gets behind a microphone and starts speaking to a crowd. But, standing on a sun-drenched lawn behind a Baptist church in Jamaica Plain, surrounded by members of the black clergy, Coakley has a noticeable spark in her. She's come to this church outside Jackson Square to receive the endorsement of a number of Boston ministers, including Gregory Groover, the head of the city's Black Ministerial Alliance, and Ten Point Coalition co-founder Jeffrey Brown. She seems to feed off them. In a populist riff on her standard stump speech, Coakley touches on predatory lending, early education, health care disparities, street violence, and criminal justice. She kicks Wall Street banks, and tells the ministers, "I'm a fighter. I will be a fighter."
After Coakley's speech, reporters ask Groover about Coakley's standing in the polls. "Polls are alright," Groover replies, "but it's the people on the ground," not polls, who deliver votes. "We're concerned about the people in our community," Groover says, vowing that "they will be out in large numbers" for Coakley.
Neighborhoods like this represent the teeth of Demo-cratic strength in Massachusetts. They paced Deval Patrick to his 2010 reelection over Charlie Baker, and lifted Elizabeth Warren over Scott Brown two years ago. Coakley can't beat Baker this November without repeating Patrick's and Warren's performances in places that look like Jackson Square in Jamaica Plain. And both she and Baker know it.
Coakley fell far short of expectations when she won the Democratic primary in September. She topped Steve Grossman by 6 percentage points, when most public polls had given her a 20-point edge over her closest Democratic rival. But if the primary balloting unnerved Democratic insiders who have been suspicious of Coakley since her 2010 Senate campaign, it also showed that the Democratic nominee was strongest in the places where she'll need to be strongest in November. Coakley shone in Springfield, New Bedford, and Fall River. She won Boston by 13 points overall, but 33 points separated her from Grossman in Boston's majority-minority precincts. The state Democratic Party is looking to press this advantage; one of the first fundraisers it had after the primary was held exclusively to boost its communities of color machinery.
Boston city councilor Ayanna Pressley is a longtime Coakley supporter. She's taken Coakley to Sunday church services in Dorchester during the campaign, and believes those trips bode well for November. "She's at ease in that environment," Pressley says. "I appreciate that she wanted to meet people where they are, and engage with them in a meaningful way. There wasn't anybody who didn't know who she was, and a lot had met her before. People know her, and they know who she fights for."
Baker has spent inordinate amounts of time campaigning in areas he lost handily 4 years ago.
And while Democrats acknowledge that Coakley doesn't have the charisma that Patrick and Warren harnessed to drive turnout in the cities, they feel they have something equally potent: a ballot campaign, sponsored by labor, community activists, and faith groups, with its base of support in urban communities. There's little formal opposition to the ballot question granting paid sick time to workers who don't receive sick time benefits from their employers. But Baker opposes the question, Coakley's campaign hopes to turn it into a wedge issue, and Democratic Party officials are counting on the pro-sick time campaign to help drive turnout in the cities.
"In this campaign, no one has a better field organization than the earned sick time campaign," says Steve Crawford, a spokesman for the ballot question campaign. "We're hiring people and putting them on the street. We're registering people to vote, identifying them, following up, and making sure they vote. This isn't something we're creating now. It's been over a year, and it's statewide."
For their part, Republicans have been attacking the Democrats' strength since Baker entered the governor's race last year. Kirsten Hughes, the state Republican Party chair, launched a tour of urban neighborhoods by bluntly telling the Boston Globe, "It's no secret that the reason we lose on Election Day is because we lose in urban cities." Baker has spent inordinate amounts of time campaigning in areas he lost handily four years ago, and when he's not in the Lowells and Lawrences and Dorchesters of the state, he's talking about them. He rolled out his economic development plan flanked by supporters from Springfield and Worcester. Before arriving at his primary night party in Dorchester, he stood outside Florian Hall, the Boston firefighters' union hall, shaking every hand he could.

"I've campaigned in a lot of Democratic communities, and we've gotten a very positive reception in these kinds of places," Baker said on primary day, standing outside Holy Name parish school in West Roxbury, a high-turnout Boston polling place. "I said in the beginning of the campaign, I'm going to chase 100 percent of the vote. If you're going to do that, you have to show up in a bunch of places Republicans don't usually go."
Baker seems determined to reverse the grim math facing Republicans with the sheer force of his physical presence. "You need to show up and make the case," he says. "You have to make the sale. But you can't make the sale if you don't show up."

A small reindeer plush toy given to children at shopping centres in the lead up to Christmas has been recalled due to choking fears.
The toy was given to 36,000 children who had their photo taken with Santa during November and December at Stockland shopping centres across New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, and Western Australia.
Parents have been advised to dispose of the toy immediately as the plastic nose on the reindeer may detach and poses a choking hazard.
Stockland Malvern Central in Melbourne, one of the locations the toy was given out, issued a statement about the Luxe Accessories soft toy.
'We have been advised by the supplier that this product has been certified to an international safety standard, however we have since discovered that in some circumstances, the reindeer's nose may detach, and small parts can be a choking hazard for infants and young children,' said AMP Capital, which manages the Malvern centre.
'As a precaution, we have voluntarily recalled this product and consumers are asked to return the product to the concierge desk or centre management office of Malvern Central.

Q: Arduino custom-made function is not working I wrote my own Arduino function in order to measure the heart rate. But when it executes it does not work properly. In order to calculate heart rate, I have to do the following calculation:
heart_Rate = 60000/period;

But I realized that the period value keeps accumulating. As a result of that the heart rate reduces. But when I test this without making function (inside void loop) it's working perfectly.
This is my Arduino code:
int H_val = 0;
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

float HeartRate() {
  int threshold = 750;
  int raw_ecg = 0;
  int E_input = 0;
  float period = 0;
  unsigned long p_time = 0;
  unsigned long c_time = 0;
  int H_rate;
  int oldvalue = 0;

  oldvalue = raw_ecg;
  raw_ecg = 0;
  raw_ecg = analogRead(A0);
  if (oldvalue < threshold && raw_ecg >= threshold) {
    p_time = c_time;
    c_time = millis();
    period = c_time - p_time;
  }

  if (period <= 0) {
    int H_rate = 0;
  } else {
    int H_rate = 60000 / period;
    return H_rate;
  }
  delay(2);
}

void loop() {
  H_val = HeartRate();
  Serial.println(H_val);
}

How do I prevent the period from accumulating?

A: Every time you call the function, the local variables get initialized again. In your code this means that
p_time = c_time; //c_time = 0
c_time = millis();
period = c_time - p_time;

Hence, period will increase as millis() is increasing.
If you declare the variables as static, your problem will be solved:
static unsigned long p_time = 0;
static unsigned long c_time = 0;

By doing that, the variables keep existing (and keep their value) between function calls and keep their local scope.
The reason it is working inside the loop is that you never leave the loop and the variables never get re-initialized.
Edit: it's enough to declare c_time as static as you assign it's value to p_time anyway. But there are various ways to shorten the code.

A: It can be a problem of data type. Changing that variables to float or int may solve the problem.
float H_val;

float HeartRate(){
    float H_rate;
    return H_rate;
}

void loop(){
    H_val = HeartRate();
}

Q: Need help changing the speed duration of slides with Jquery scripts So first off I have basically no working knowledge of javascript or Jquery. Second off I have tried to look up answers to this and tried a few things but nothing worked for me.
My slides seem to change every 6 or 7 seconds. I want to make each slide last longer. Maybe about 12 seconds before changing. I have tried changing the speed and timeout values and adding mouse overs for a pause feature but nothing has worked.
This is the code built into the web template. Top half looks to be for admin editing, while bottom is the general page view. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
jQuery.noConflict();
jQuery(document).ready(function($){

// Checks for Admin to apply fixes for backend
if ( $('#adminbar #toolbar').length ) {

    $('#features').cycle({
        fx: 'scrollRight',
        speed: 100,
        next: '#next',
        prev: '#prev',
        timeout: 0
    });
    $("#controls").show();
    $("ul#featuredNav").css({
        'margin-top': '-38px'
    });
    $("ul#featuredNav li").css({
        'margin': '-20px 0 90px',
        'padding': '0 0 0 20px'
    });
    $("#featuredWrapper").css({
        'margin': '0 0 80px'
    });
}
else {

    $('#features').cycle({
        fx: 'scrollRight',
        pager:  '#featuredNav',
        speed: 500,
        timeout: 6000,
        pagerAnchorBuilder: function(idx, slide) {
            // return selector string for existing anchor
            return '#featuredNav li:eq(' + idx + ')';
        },
        updateActivePagerLink: function(pager, currSlideIndex) {
            $(pager).find('li').removeClass('activeTab')
                .filter('li:eq('+currSlideIndex+')').addClass('activeTab');
        }
    });
    $("#controls").hide();
}
});

A: Change
timeout: 6000,

to
timeout: 12000,

then clear your browser and site caches.

Introductory session of the Assembly – hosted at Dublin Castle
INAUGURAL MEETING OF THE CITIZENS' ASSEMBLY TAKES PLACE AT DUBLIN CASTLE – Dublin Saturday, 15th October 2016.
Lensmen were on site for the welcome meeting of the Citizens' Assembly at Dublin Castle. The Assembly is a body made up of the Chairperson, Ms. Justice Mary Laffoy, and 99 citizens randomly selected to be broadly representative of the Irish electorate, with a mandate to look at a number of key issues.
The inaugural meeting of the Assembly was an introductory session, allowing members of the Assembly to meet one another and gain a better understanding of the role which they will play in the Assembly.
An Taoiseach Enda Kenny TD, who addressed the Assembly, thanked the members for participating in the Assembly and the outlined the importance of the process saying "Your work in addressing and achieving this vital consensus on behalf of us all will affect – indeed profoundly affect – how we live our individual lives and our national life in the Republic of Ireland in the years to come. Therefore, on behalf of the Oireachtas I thank each and every one of you for your personal commitment, your civic generosity and above all your courage in contributing to this national discussion of such significant import.
The Taoiseach called for respect for the members "On behalf of the Oireachtas I ask everybody to please allow the members of the Assembly the necessary space and respect to go about their work. As citizens of this Republic let us consider the work of the assembly and the issues at hand according to the highest standards of our best selves."
The Chair of the Assembly, Ms. Justice Mary Laffoy welcomed the Members of the Assembly and encouraged members of the public to be involved saying "I believe that the Assembly will be a substantial and comprehensive national endeavour, one which, upon its conclusion, we can look back upon with some pride. The proceedings of this Assembly will be broadcast live on the web and I would like to strongly encourage Irish citizens, at home and abroad, to tune into the debate and get involved."
Chairperson Ms Justice Laffoy continued "Being a member of this Assembly is a rare privilege and a significant undertaking, and in agreeing to participate, the members are giving freely their time in service to the State. It is critical to the success and integrity of this Assembly that the members, can freely and confidently make contributions and express their views without fear of harassment or criticism."
Assembly members also heard from three guest speakers:
– Maurice Manning, Chairperson of the Expert Advisory Group on Commemorations and Chancellor of the National University of Ireland, who spoke about 'A history of social change in Ireland';
– Ita Mangan, Chairperson of the Citizens' Information Board, spoke to the Citizens about 'Citizens' Involvement in key decisions for Ireland's future';
– David Farrell, Professor of Politics at UCD and Research Director of the Convention on the Constitution (2012-2014), spoke about 'Citizens' role in decision making – Ireland's experience to date'.
The Assembly then met in private session to deliberate the Work Programme, Key Principles, Rules and Procedures, and Calendar for the Assembly going forward.
A Steering Group will be put in place to support the Assembly in the efficient and effective discharge of its role and functions. This Steering Group shall assist with planning and operational issues associated with the work programme and will consist of the Chairperson, Ms Justice Mary Laffoy, and a number of Assembly Members selected by the Members.
As provided for in the Oireachtas resolution, an Expert Advisory Group will also be established to assist the work of the Assembly in terms of preparing information and advice.
The Expert Advisory Group will be comprised of academics and practitioners across a number of specific fields of interest including:
– Political/ Social Science;
– Constitutional Law and Theory;
– Medical Law and Ethics;
– Medicine and Obstetrics.
However, the composition and focus of the Expert Advisory Group may change during the lifetime of the Assembly. The main roles of the Expert Advisory Group include supporting the Chair and the Secretariat in constructing a fair, balanced and comprehensive work programme for the Assembly on each of the topics; providing background expert advice on the issues being discussed; and advising on the criteria for selecting specialists an expert to appear before the Assembly.
The Citizens' Assembly will meet again on 25th November in the Grand Hotel in Malahide, at which time it will commence its consideration of the first item referred to it by the Dáil Resolution; the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution.
All public sessions of the Assembly, including the inaugural meeting will be live streamed on www.citizensassembly.ie .

Janssen Malloy's Patrik Gregio recently negotiated a $400,000 settlement with the City of Eureka for a client, Kathleen Anderson, who was injured in an accident at Devil's Playground behind the Bayshore Mall in Eureka . Prior to the settlement the case went to trial on liability, and Ms. Anderson received a jury verdict finding the City to have been 70% negligent and Ms. Anderson 30% negligent. Ms. Anderson's injuries sustained in the fall resulted in a shoulder replacement surgery and a permanent limitation in the use of her right arm.
If you or a loved one is entering a skilled nursing facility ("SNF") in California for any length of time, you may be asked to sign an arbitration agreement with the SNF. Typically, such agreements are presented at the time of admission or just prior. Arbitration agreements typically are those that waive a SNF resident's rights under the law—like the right to a jury trial on personal injury claims. But, California law requires that any such arbitration agreement presented to a SNF resident clearly state that signing it is NOT a precondition for admission to the SNF.
Land Use Law - Judge Twice?
With the ongoing drought and the endless debate over responsible development, land use law is a fertile field of confusion, controversy, and contempt. Municipalities, counties, community services districts, and the state each have their own set of rules and regulations, and navigating the myriad laws can be the bane of anyone taking on a development project or petitioning a city or county for a special use permit.

In mid-March, two federal court judges in Northern California determined that juries will decide the question of whether the drivers for the ride services Uber and Lyft have been misclassified by those services as independent contractors. Employee plaintiffs in each case are alleging that they—and a class of similarly situated drivers—should be classified as employees. The two cases are Cotter v. Lyft, No. 13-4065 and O'Connor v. Uber, 13-3826 (U.S. District Court, Northern District of California).
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife regulates and facilitates the issuance, maintenance, and transfers of California commercial salmon permits.

Q: Unable to access variable in Meteor event When I fire a click event, this function runs:
'click h2.start1': function () {
      var genreName;
      //generate random number
      function getGenreNumber () {
        numGenre = Math.floor((Math.random() * 500) + 1); //total genres: 1381
        console.log('genre index number: ' + numGenre);
        return numGenre
      };
      //http.get genre with number genre/list
      function getGenreName () {
        HTTP.get('someurl',
        {},
        function (error, result) {
          if (result.statusCode === 200) {
            genreName = result.data.response.genres[numGenre].name;
            console.log('The genre is: ' + genreName);
          }
        return genreName
        });
      };
      //http.get 15 artists of genre genre/artist
      function getGenreArtists () {
        console.log('genreName is: ' + genreName); //this is undefined
        HTTP.get('someurl' + genreName,
        {},
        function (error, result) {
          if (result.statusCode === 200) {
            console.log(result.data.response);
            console.log(genreName);
          }else {
            console.log("something broke");
            console.log(genreName); //this is exactly as it should be!
          }
        });
      };
      getGenreNumber()
      getGenreName()
      getGenreArtists()
},

I'm trying to do two things, first, to have the value of variable genreName passed into the url of the GET request in the function getGenreArtists.
The first console.log in getGenreArtists comes back undefined, but the console.log under the line "something broke" returns correctly.
I'm confused because both functions have the same scope, and because the function getGenreName is able to access the variable numGenre correctly.
The second thing I'm trying to do is replace any spaces with a + in genreName so the url of the GET request will be formatted correctly.

A: This is an ordinary Asynchronous problem. Generally speaking, if you want to do something with data from an asynchronous event, you pass a callback (or use a promise). As an example, your getGenreName would look more like this:
function getGenreName(callback) {
  HTTP.get('someurl', {}. function (error, result) {
    if (result.statusCode === 200) {
      callback(result.data.response.genres[numGenre].name);
    }
  });
}

Then call it like this:
getGenreName(function (name) {
  console.log('the name of the genre is: ' + name);
});

Peter Dutton's business interests could deem him ineligible to sit in parliament, seeing his ambitions to be PM derailed at the eleventh hour. Picture: AAP
Dutton cleared but questions remain
by Shannon Molloy and Charis Chang
24th Aug 2018 10:14 AM
LEGAL advice has been released about Peter Dutton's eligibility to sit in parliament ahead of his expected challenge to Malcolm Turnbull for the Liberal leadership today.
Attorney-General Christian Porter said he had received advice from Solicitor-General Stephen Donoghue QC about whether Mr Dutton was eligible to sit in parliament.
The advice has been provided to the PM and Mr Dutton.
It states that Mr Dutton is "not incapable" of sitting as a member of the House of Representatives but Mr Donoghue said "it was impossible to state the position with certainty".
The Solicitor-General said he considered it "unlikely" that Mr Dutton would be disqualified because he did not think an "agreement" existed with the Public Service of the Commonwealth.
Regardless, there were some issues that created concerns.
"I consider there to be some risk, particularly in light of the substantial size of the payments that appear to have been made by the Commonwealth to RHT Investments, that the High Court might conclude that there is a conflict between Mr Dutton's duty as a parliamentarian and his personal interests," Mr Donoghue said.
"The Court might consider those payments to have created the expectation of benefit to Mr Dutton, on the basis that they would contribute to the amount of surplus income available to be distributed to beneficiaries of the RHT Family Trust, and that Mr Dutton had an indirect pecuniary interest on that basis."
Serious questions about Mr Dutton's eligibility to sit in Parliament were referred to the Solicitor General ahead of today's expected party room meeting.
Mr Dutton, who is expected to launch a second leadership challenge against Malcolm Turnbull today, was at risk of being removed from the contest at the eleventh hour.
Mr Dutton's RHT Family Trust owns two childcare centres in Brisbane, which have benefited from $5.6 million dollars in Federal Government subsidies since July 2.
Experts argued this put him in breach of Section 44 of the Constitution, which bans politicians from having "any direct or indirect pecuniary interest with the public service of the Commonwealth".
Overnight Mr Dutton tweeted a second opinion from former solicitor-general David Bennett, which he says "clearly states" he can sit in parliament.
According to the advice, Mr Bennett suggests the legal argument hinges on whether there is an "agreement" with the Public Service of the Commonwealth.
"In my opinion, however widely 'agreement' is construed, it cannot extend to a situation in which the person obtains a statutory entitlement without any form of contract or a contract-like relationship," Mr Bennett's advice states.
"Services performed by child care centres are not performed 'for' the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth merely subsidies clients who contract for those services and, on their request, pays the subsidy directly to the provider.
"To describe this as an 'agreement' between the service provider and the Commonwealth stretches the word beyond any reasonable interpretation."
Peter Dutton insists his childcare centres receiving millions in government funding does not breach the Constitution.
Labor wrote to Mr Turnbull yesterday calling for the matter to be referred to the High Court, saying it had received legal advice that Mr Dutton was in breach.
The respected barrister Bret Walker SC assessed that the "preferable argument" was that Mr Dutton was ineligible because of an "indirect pecuniary interest".
It lays out an explosive case for the former Home Affairs Minister and PM aspirant to be expelled from parliament.
"Mr Dutton was incapable of being chosen for the 45th Parliament and is not entitled to continue to sit," the advice stated.
The Solicitor General will provide advice on Peter Dutton's eligibility ahead of tomorrow's party room meeting. Picture: AAP
George Williams, the Dean of the University of New South Wales Law School, took to Twitter to say that Mr Walker's conclusion seemed to be that Mr Dutton should be disqualified.
"The 17-page advice is a careful, forensic examination of the issues by the most authoritative member of the Bar on constitutional issues outside of the High Court," Professor Williams said.
On Thursday, in the shadow of his fresh challenge and a string of frontbench resignations, Mr Dutton hit back and released his own legal advice.
He claimed it showed "there has never been any doubt about my eligibility to sit in the parliament".
But critics said the advice could be out of date.
Labor has received advice that Peter Dutton is ineligible to sit in parliament, and therefore unable to roll Malcolm Turnbull to become PM. Picture: AAP
In an extraordinary press conference, Mr Turnbull demanded that renegade members of the government provide a petition with a majority of signatures to bring on a new party room meeting.
That meeting would take place on Friday at midday if there was enough demand for it.
But before that, Mr Turnbull said there were important questions to be answered over his rival's eligibility.
The Solicitor General will now provide advice on the matter before tomorrow's meeting.
