Q: Book about an alien race that have no metal but high tech using glass I read this book when I was a teenager (late 70's early 80's) and cannot remember its name or author.
An alien race is discovered, their planet is metal poor so their technology is glass based, they also surgically implant an organ that gives them telepathic ability.
Ring any bells to anyone, what was it called?
Edit
Just remembered something about it, the initial Alien that is encountered is adrift in space in some kind of stasis pod, has been for a long time (many years)

A: This could be Alan Dean Foster's Sentenced to Prism.

*

*Most things on the planet are glass or crystal, and the significant population is made of the stuff.

*The locals are telepathic, and they surgically implant an organ into the human protagonist's brain to allow him to talk to them

A: This sounds like Ringworld. I don't know about their planet, but their spaceship that they travel in has a transparent glass hull that can dim in sunlight, and it has a stasis field that protects occupants.

The Puppeteers' General Products hulls, which are impervious to any known force except visible light and gravity, and cannot be destroyed by anything except antimatter.
  The Slaver stasis field, which causes time in the enclosed volume to stand still; since time has for all intents and purposes ceased for an object in stasis, no harm can come to anything within the field.

One of the characters is Kzin which are telepathic.

the ones who exhibit telepathic ability are forced into addiction of a drug derived from the lymph of an animal called a sthondat. Sthondat lymph extract significantly increases telepathic ability

A: It sounds like you're referring to the Tanu from the "Saga of the Pliocene Exiles".

*

*Their planet is metal poor so their technology is glass based
Their tech (and weaponry and armour) is largely based on glass and ceramics as a result of certain metals being extremely poisonous to their allies.

*

*They also surgically implant an organ that gives them telepathic ability.
They use a torc (a sort of fancy, thick necklace) to supplement their limited telepathic gifts.

This mare was keeping a careful watch over her foal. Although it was fall and the foal was likely nearly weaned, the bond shared between these two wild horses was evident. I felt privileged to witness and photograph this gentle moment between a mother and her baby.

'Wilde Salomé' Swims Upstream
by Warren Cantrell on March 30, 2018
in Print Reviews,Reviews
[Rating: Minor Rock Fist Up]
"This is a story about an obsession," a title card reads as the documentary opens. Directed by Al Pacino, the documentary feature Wilde Salomé is indeed a meditation on obsession, both in its subject, but also by way of the form of artistic expression itself. Art seems so effortless when done well, like the fabled transposing of notes onto the page via Mozart's pen, yet any artist, be it a filmmaker, poet, or sculptor, will tell you that art is hard goddamned work. Indeed, for every great movie, painting, or novel, millions of discarded or failed attempts lay by the roadside: the struggle to capture inspiration lost like a child trying to catch a bubble.
Wilde Salomé follows Pacino's attempt to stage a theatrical production of Oscar Wilde's play, 'Salomé' in 2006 while simultaneously producing a cinematic version. Pacino's theatrical 'Salomé' is avant garde in style, and is staged more as a reading than a play, with minimalist set design and modern "costumes." The movie component isn't just an attempt to film the stage production, however, but rather to bring a similar yet distinct version to life on-screen. In Wilde Salomé, Pacino's stage and film producers clash over resources and the wisdom of this daunting endeavor while Pacino attempts to peel back the thematic and historical layers surrounding Wilde's work.
Pacino explains that 'Salomé' was Wilde's attempt to exorcise the emotional turmoil stirring inside of him at the time of its composition, for the play is about the awakening of a passion within its lead. 'Salomé' tells the story of King Herod and John the Baptist, the latter of whom lost his head when Herod promised his step-daughter, Salomé (Jessica Chastain), anything she desired in a fit of ecstatic bliss. The character of Salome, like Wilde, came to realize that there was a passion inside that had previously been untapped, and when exposed, could not be bottled back up again. This is indeed a fascinating interpretation of the piece, and adds a layer to the drama that Pacino explores by going to Ireland and England to visit Wilde's old haunts.
This isn't just a vanity tour, however. Pacino is interested in speaking to distant relatives, historians, and literary scholars to get a better idea of what Wilde went through as he approached the most difficult period of his life (his indecency trial, and subsequent imprisonment). Gore Vidal, Tony Kushner, Tom Stoppard, and Bono pop up to provide some insight into Wilde as well, and their voices lend some welcome perspective. Oscar wasn't just an author, but a social critic and socialist who rattled the cages of London's late-19th century Victorian elite. It's clear from the documentary that Pacino is fascinated with Wilde and his play, connecting both to the larger story of Wilde as not just a literary pioneer, but a social activist as well.
It's all a bit unfocused, though: a little muddled. Throughout the documentary, Pacino shifts from play rehearsals, to reenactments of Wilde's life, to clips of the film version of the play, to behind the scenes footage of shooting that movie, to real life social events where all these realities merge. Jessica Chastain remarks at one point that she thought she was going to a dinner party, "as Jessica," but Pacino has instead decided to make it a method exercise in exploring the character of Salome. All of these ideas are interesting, yet as presented, it feels a little too much like Pacino is throwing every idea he has at the wall to see what sticks.
Curiously, despite the fact that he's in nearly every scene, what's missing here is Pacino. Although he is guiding the audience through all of this, there seems to be a reluctance to delve into Pacino's life as an examined counterpoint to Wilde. After all, this is an actor who has enjoyed the pinnacle of success (Godfather) and the depths of critical failure (Gigli). Pacino has never married, but has three kids and a slew of ex's (famous and otherwise) that speak to an interesting life lived unconventionally. How Wilde inspires Pacino as a person is never really explored within the context of the latter's life, and it is an aching, unspoken wound that Wilde Salomé never addresses.
As the documentary moves into its third act, and the middling reviews start coming in for Pacino's "reading" of 'Salomé', one gets the sense that the documentary is going in the wrong direction. Pacino's interpretation of the material not as a play, but as an avant garde reading rubs some critics and audience members the wrong way. There's a raw, brave honesty Pacino offers up in his documentary that shows just how disappointed the man is in his vision not connecting with audiences, and these silent moments are some of the best of the documentary.
"He was expressing his own destiny in this play," Pacino says, captivated in reflection. Indeed, the more interesting story here is one artist's personal connection to a piece of theater, and how he isn't able to translate that love into his own unique expression. Like so many actors, writers, songwriters, or poets who feel a bolt of inspiration hit them, Pacino's struggle reflects the difficult-to-grasp reality of art. Just because you see it in your mind, and feel it in your heart doesn't mean you can easily express it in a way digestible to others. Art is difficult, and for every success, there are hundreds of failures. It's striking that even for an actor/director as talented as Pacino, inspiration and passion don't always equal success: the destiny of Pacino seems permanently separated from 'Salomé' to his bitter dismay.
Again, had the documentary delved into this a bit more, and asked Pacino to reflect on other instances where he experienced this, there might have been something truly special to explore. As it stands, Wilde Salomé is still a fascinating exploration of art as presented by a true artist, and is brave enough to dwell on its failure. Were this documentary more about that than the exploration of 'Salomé' it might click more than it does. Opening in limited release today, it's worth seeing if only to watch a true artist try and fail: a rare thing to get a look at from as intimate a perspective as what Pacino offers up here.

Presentation and debate event about the project and current state of Social Innovation in Portugal brings together local actors, institutions, city councils, and entrepreneurs.
On October 3rd, a meeting was held to present the SIKE (Social Innovation through Knowledge Exchange) European project and debate on the current state and difficulties of the development of Social Innovation at a national and specifically in the Aveiro region. This event aimed to strengthen relations between the Academy and the surrounding community, to understand their needs and obstacles, and to understand how the University can offer knowledge and resources to institutions and social entrepreneurs.
At the beginning of the session there was a presentation by the professors and their departments involved in the project: Prof. Gonçalo Gomes, ID + Desis Lab, Department of Communication and Art (coordinator os the project at University of Aveiro), Prof. José Carlos Mota, GOVCOPP, Social and Political Sciences and Territory, and Professor Marta Ferreira Dias and Professor Marlene Amorim of REMSI, Department of Economics, Management, Industrial Engineering and Tourism. A brief presentation of the other national partner involved in the project took place, in addition to the University of Aveiro: the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa, represented by Gustavo Freitas.
Subsequently, the project itself was presented, its objectives, its involvement and its relevance This was intended to clarify to the participants, local actors with impact in the region, how could the project and the future SIKE unit help the development of projects and initiatives of this scope.
With the presentations made, there was room for debate among all the thirty participants, in which they were able to share their experiences and points of view on some pertinent themes and difficulties that they encountered along its route. The topics covered during the session were to meet some of the questions present in the needs survey developed within the scope of the project, which aims to understand the needs and difficulties of these local actors, institutions, city councils and entrepreneurs in their development and what can the University do to help. The debate proved to be an enriching and interesting moment, in which the results exceeded the objectives of the project and provided a closer relationship between the various actors in the region.

iPhone and iPad Activation Lock Coming in iOS 7
Those of you who have been diligent in securing your iOS devices with passcodes, wiping and Find My iPhone, just to have a thief restore your device and keep on going – well – your prayers have been answered. Coming in iOS 7 is a great feature called 'Activation Lock'.
With Activation Lock enabled, even if your iPhone or iPad is restored to its factory settings, the user will need to activate the device using the Apple ID of the previous user. Also, if the device was put into Lost Mode in Find My iPhone, the lock screen will continue to display the fact that it is lost until the device is activated.
This is a hugely useful feature that, if used properly, will make iPhones and iPads a significantly less attractive target to thieves, as the stolen devices would be rendered useless to them. It was nice to see Apple address one of the main concerns that users have been expressing about the bypass-ability of Find My iPhone. Check out Protecting and Recovering Your iPhone and iPad from Loss and Theft (will be updated soon with this new feature).
Jailbreak for iPhones, iPads and iPods Running iOS 6/6.1 Now Available (evad3rs)
Seems like this one has been a long time in the making, but there is finally a jailbreak for any iPhone, iPad or iPod running iOS 6 or 6.1. This jailbreak comes courtesy of a group called evad3rs. The jailbreak can be performed using any computer running Mac OS X, Window or Linux, and is a full un-tethered jailbreak meaning that once jailbroken the device can be rebooted without it needing to be re-jailbroken.
To perform the jailbreak, simply download the software for your OS, plug in your device, launch the evasi0n app and click Jailbreak. It's pretty much as simple as that! Cult of Mac has a good summary of this process.
Quick warning: I know that many people are eager to jailbreak their devices – sometimes I also get annoyed at the restrictions Apple places on their devices – but remember that when you jailbreak you're not only running exploit code and trusting a third party not to do anything malicious, but you also make your device less secure in the process!
With that in mind, check out the latest jailbreak at evasi0n.com.
New "Lost Mode" in Find My iPhone (iCloud)
With iOS 6, Apple will be releasing an updated set of web apps on iCloud.com, including Mail, Calendar, Notes, Reminders and Find My iPhone. Find My iPhone is a useful feature that allows you to track or wipe your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch should it get lost or stolen. For more info check out my article on Protecting and Recovering Your iPhone and iPad from Loss and Theft. In this post I just want to point out the changes to Find My iPhone, in particular the new "Lost Mode". Read more
There Is No Camera Lock Screen Bypass in iOS 5.1
There have been reports (and here) of iOS 5.1 containing a camera bypass tied to the new camera shortcut on the lock screen. The people who have reported this are sadly confused about the security timeout enforced by iOS's Require Passcode setting (Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Require Passcode). If your Require Passcode setting is set to anything other than Immediately, then your device (and the camera roll from the camera shortcut) will be accessible for the entire duration of time specified (ie. 1 minute or 5 minutes).
As always, the best setting for Require Passcode is Immediately. That way you know that when you lock your device, it is actually locked, and will prevent someone from gaining access to it without the passcode within the minutes following the 'lock'.
Sadly people seem all too eager to rush and report on iOS vulns before actually verifying them.
TDLR; There is no lock screen bypass in iOS 5.1 using the new camera shortcut. They were wrong.
Frequently Asked Questions About Find My iPhone (and iPad)
I've been getting a lot of hits for my article on Protecting and Recovering Your iPhone and iPad from Loss and Theft, and the search queries I'm seeing in my logs, together with the visitor comments, have raised a number of recurring questions. I've decided to publish this one-stop-shop of answers for all of the different queries that I see people searching for when they arrive. Although my article addresses a number of these, I wanted to put them all in one post for easy reference. I'll update this post as new questions crop up. Here goes, in no particular order:
Charlie Miller Discovers iOS Code-Signing Bypass Vulnerability
Security researcher Charlie Miller (@0xcharlie) has discovered a significant flaw in iOS which may allow a malicious app on the App Store to download and execute arbitrary unsigned code. What this means for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users is that installing a malicious app may allow an attacker to obtain shell access to your device, and download contacts or images.
Apple reviews every app submitted to the App Store, which has meant that iOS users have not had to worry about outright malware. Since this vulnerability allows the apps to fetch code remotely, they can perform actions not reviewed by the App Store staff. Charlie had submitted a proof-of-concept app that was approved (see video below), but has since been removed by Apple.
The reason this vulnerability works is based around some changes Apple made in iOS 4.3 last year, which allowed Mobile Safari to run javascript at a more privileged level on the devices. This change required Apple to make an exception for Safari to execute unsigned code in a particular area of memory. Charlie Miller's bug is allegedly a very unique case that allows any app to take advantage of this, and hence run their own unsigned code.
Charlie will be presenting the vulnerability in detail at the SysCan conference in Taiwan next week. Apple has already released a developer beta of iOS 5.0.1 which patches the recent iPad Smart Cover lock screen bypass, but I would not be at all surprised if they release another beta which includes a fix for this bug. Until then, be careful to only install apps from developers you trust.
[Update] Apple has kicked Charlie out of the Developer program. At first I felt that this was an extremely bad reaction on Apple's part. That said, Apple is probably most upset that Charlie's proof-of-concept app could have been installed by legitimate users. Regardless of Charlie's intentions, this could constitute malware, and he should have removed the app as soon as he saw the flaw existed. The posting of his video above probably didn't help matters either.
iPad Lock Screen Bypass Vulnerability using Smart Cover [Patched]
Marc Gurman at 9to5Mac has discovered a vulnerability on the iPad that allows for a limited bypass of the device's lockscreen. Anyone with an iPad Smart Cover (or fridge magnet) can gain access to the previously-open app (or the home screen if no app was open).
By holding the power button to bring up the 'Power Off' screen, closing the smart cover, re-opening it (or just sliding a fridge magnet along the right-hand side of the device), and clicking cancel, the attacker will be dropped into the screen that was open before the iPad was locked. If the attacker gets dropped into the home screen, then they'll be able to see the installed apps, but won't be able to open anything. If Safari or Mail (or any other app) was the open when the device was locked, then the attacker would have access to that app.
Unlike Siri being available from the lock screen, which is not a security flaw (an unintended behaviour), this one actually is; and although an attacker does not get full control of the iPad, the severity depends on whether a sensitive app was being used before the device was locked.
Luckily it is possible to protect yourself against this bug in the interim by disabling Smart Covers in Settings > General > iPad Cover Lock/Unlock > Off. Expect Apple to patch this in iOS 5.0.1. Check out 9to5's video below for a demonstration:
[Update] Apple did indeed patch this bug in iOS 5.0.1. Those of you who disabled your Smart Covers for security purposes can now re-enable them!
Key iOS Security Updates Patch PDF and Certificate Validation Vulnerabilities (4.3.4 and 4.3.5)
The two latest iOS updates are fairly significant in that they patch two critical vulnerabilities. iOS update 4.3.4 patched a number of bugs including comex's PDF/FreeType vulnerability used to create the latest JailbreakMe exploit. If you're a jailbreaker, it's essential that you run comex's 'PDF Patcher 2' within Cydia, in order to patch the underlying vulnerability. iOS update 4.3.5 released a couple days ago, patches a fairly significant bug in the way iOS validates SSL/TLS certificates. This vulnerability can allow an attacker to intercept and/or modify data protected within an SSL session without the user knowing it. This was possible to due the fact that iOS didn't validate the basicContstrains parameter of SSL certificates in the chain.
If you're only an occasional patcher – now is the time.
Jailbreak iOS 4.3.3 with JailbreakMe 3.0
JailbreakMe.com has been updated to allow easy untethered jailbreak of your iOS devices, just follow the instructions on the site. Thanks to a new PDF exploit from comex (with the help of chpwn), it is now possible to jailbreak iPhones, iPads (including iPad 2) and iPod Touches running iOS 4.3.3 (note this doesn't yet include any versions below that). During the jailbreak, saurik's Cydia app store is automatically installed.
Interestingly, users with jailbroken devices can protect themselves by patching the PDF vulnerability by using 'PDF Patcher 2' in Cydia. Normal users will have to wait for iOS 4.3.4 from Apple. Note, however, that having a jailbroken iPhone or iPad still makes you slightly more vulnerable to other attacks, as the iOS sandbox is essentially bypassed.
Find My iPhone Brings Improved Offline Device Support
Apple has released an update to their free Find My iPhone offering, which greatly improves the support for tracking devices that are offline at the time. Note that this doesn't mean you can track an iPhone or iPad that is turned off, or out of signal range (not possible). Instead, if a device is offline when you try to locate it, Apple will later send you an email with its location the next time that device gets back online. Thanks to this, it's no longer necessary to constantly be checking the Find My iPhone app/webpage. Here is Apple's summary of the changes:
When you are unable to locate a device because it is offline, you will receive an email if the device comes online and is located.
Ability to remove an offline device from the list using the app.
Note, it appears this updated feature is only available using the Find My iPhone app (version 1.2) available in the App Store – it is not yet available in the MobileMe web interface. I assume it won't be updated until the new iCloud Find My iPhone web interface is launched. [Update: I was right.]

Biology 2eChapter Summary
A sensory activation occurs when a physical or chemical stimulus is processed into a neural signal (sensory transduction) by a sensory receptor. Perception is an individual interpretation of a sensation and is a brain function. Humans have special senses: olfaction, gustation, equilibrium, and hearing, plus the general senses of somatosensation.
Sensory receptors are either specialized cells associated with sensory neurons or the specialized ends of sensory neurons that are a part of the peripheral nervous system, and they are used to receive information about the environment (internal or external). Each sensory receptor is modified for the type of stimulus it detects. For example, neither gustatory receptors nor auditory receptors are sensitive to light. Each sensory receptor is responsive to stimuli within a specific region in space, which is known as that receptor's receptive field. The most fundamental function of a sensory system is the translation of a sensory signal to an electrical signal in the nervous system.
All sensory signals, except those from the olfactory system, enter the central nervous system and are routed to the thalamus. When the sensory signal exits the thalamus, it is conducted to the specific area of the cortex dedicated to processing that particular sense.
Somatosensation includes all sensation received from the skin and mucous membranes, as well as from the limbs and joints. Somatosensation occurs all over the exterior of the body and at some interior locations as well, and a variety of receptor types, embedded in the skin and mucous membranes, play a role.
There are several types of specialized sensory receptors. Rapidly adapting free nerve endings detect nociception, hot and cold, and light touch. Slowly adapting, encapsulated Merkel's disks are found in fingertips and lips, and respond to light touch. Meissner's corpuscles, found in glabrous skin, are rapidly adapting, encapsulated receptors that detect touch, low-frequency vibration, and flutter. Ruffini endings are slowly adapting, encapsulated receptors that detect skin stretch, joint activity, and warmth. Hair receptors are rapidly adapting nerve endings wrapped around the base of hair follicles that detect hair movement and skin deflection. Finally, Pacinian corpuscles are encapsulated, rapidly adapting receptors that detect transient pressure and high-frequency vibration.
There are five primary tastes in humans: sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami. Each taste has its own receptor type that responds only to that taste. Tastants enter the body and are dissolved in saliva. Taste cells are located within taste buds, which are found on three of the four types of papillae in the mouth.
Regarding olfaction, there are many thousands of odorants, but humans detect only about 10,000. Like taste receptors, olfactory receptors are each responsive to only one odorant. Odorants dissolve in nasal mucosa, where they excite their corresponding olfactory sensory cells. When these cells detect an odorant, they send their signals to the main olfactory bulb and then to other locations in the brain, including the olfactory cortex.
Audition is important for territory defense, predation, predator defense, and communal exchanges. The vestibular system, which is not auditory, detects linear acceleration and angular acceleration and deceleration. Both the auditory system and vestibular system use hair cells as their receptors.
Auditory stimuli are sound waves. The sound wave energy reaches the outer ear (pinna, canal, tympanum), and vibrations of the tympanum send the energy to the middle ear. The middle ear bones shift and the stapes transfers mechanical energy to the oval window of the fluid-filled inner ear cochlea. Once in the cochlea, the energy causes the basilar membrane to flex, thereby bending the stereocilia on receptor hair cells. This activates the receptors, which send their auditory neural signals to the brain.
The vestibular system has five parts that work together to provide the sense of direction, thus helping to maintain balance. The utricle and saccule measure head orientation: their calcium carbonate crystals shift when the head is tilted, thereby activating hair cells. The semicircular canals work similarly, such that when the head is turned, the fluid in the canals bends stereocilia on hair cells. The vestibular hair cells also send signals to the thalamus and to the somatosensory cortex, but also to the cerebellum, the structure above the brainstem that plays a large role in timing and coordination of movement.
Vision is the only photo responsive sense. Visible light travels in waves and is a very small slice of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Light waves differ based on their frequency (wavelength = hue) and amplitude (intensity = brightness).
In the vertebrate retina, there are two types of light receptors (photoreceptors): cones and rods. Cones, which are the source of color vision, exist in three forms—L, M, and S—and they are differentially sensitive to different wavelengths. Cones are located in the retina, along with the dim-light, achromatic receptors (rods). Cones are found in the fovea, the central region of the retina, whereas rods are found in the peripheral regions of the retina.
Visual signals travel from the eye over the axons of retinal ganglion cells, which make up the optic nerves. Ganglion cells come in several versions. Some ganglion cell axons carry information on form, movement, depth, and brightness, while other axons carry information on color and fine detail. Visual information is sent to the superior colliculi in the midbrain, where coordination of eye movements and integration of auditory information takes place. Visual information is also sent to the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of the hypothalamus, which plays a role in the circadian cycle.

Q: Different results are obtained while rounding decimals double radius = 5;
double area = Math.PI * Math.pow(radius, 2);
// System.out.println(area);

BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal(area).setScale(2, HALF_UP);
// BigDecimal bd = new BigDecimal(area).setScale(2, ROUND_HALF_UP);
System.out.println(bd.toString());

The above output gets printed as 78.54, but if I perform the same operation via the calculator (windows calc interface) the output comes out as 78.57 (i.e. 22/7 * 25).
Why is there an inconsistency

A: 22/7 is approximation to PI , Its not exact and so the result

A: Are you using 22/7 as an approximate value for PI? Because 22/7 is 3.142857142857... where PI is approximately 3.14159.... This explains your rounding inconsistencies.
The approximation of PI that is used in the JVM is documented here. According to the JavaDoc, it is:

The double value that is closer than any other to pi

A: Almost completely off-topic (and its javascript). But its still a fun answer for actually visibly seeing PI being calculated.
This method is obviously super-super-slow at calculating PI...but is kinda fun to watch.
(function (t) {
    (function () {
        var a = 0,

            c = ~1e9;
        (function p() {
            if (!t) {
                return;
            }
            b -= 2;
            a -= d / b;
            d = -d;
            if (++c % 2000 === 0) {
                t.innerHTML = a;
                setTimeout(p, 13);
            } else {
                if (c) {
                    p();
                } else {
                    t.innerHTML = a;
                }

Q: Problems writing to a subsection of a Mat-Object I'm new to OpenCV a have some trouble regarding writing to a subrange of a Mat-Object.
The code below iterates a given Image. For each pixel, it takes pixel within a range of 5x5, finds the brightest pixel, and put all other pixel to 0.
I call the function multiple times. After a random number of calls the function gives me a segmentation fault or "malloc memory corruption". Sometimes I can call the function 10 times with no problems sometimes only twice, then the program stops.
I tracked down the problem to the line, where I write to the original image using the subimage.
subimage.at<uchar>(rowSubimage,colSubimage) = 0;

There is the function that drives me crazy:
void findMaxAndBlackout(Mat& image, int size){

Point centralPoint;
Size rangeSize = Size(size,size);
Mat subimage;
Rect range;

// iterate the image
for(int row = 0; row <= image.rows-size; row++){
    for(int col = 0; col <= image.cols-size; col++){
        centralPoint = Point(col,row);
        range = Rect(centralPoint, rangeSize);

            // slice submatrix and find max
        subimage = image(range);
        double max;
        minMaxLoc( subimage, NULL, &max, NULL, NULL );

            // iterate the surrounding
        for(int rowSubimage  = 0; rowSubimage <= subimage.rows; rowSubimage++){
            for(int colSubimage = 0; colSubimage <= subimage.cols; colSubimage++){
                if(subimage.at<uchar>(rowSubimage,colSubimage) < max){
                    //this line cause the trouble
                    subimage.at<uchar>(rowSubimage,colSubimage) = 0;
                }
            }
        }
    }
}}

The Mat-Object is generated using:
Mat houghImage = imread("small_schachbrett1_cam.png", CV_LOAD_IMAGE_GRAYSCALE);

Please help me understand the problem.
If you know a better or more efficient way to achieve the same result please let me know. I am open for any improvements
Regards
benniz

A: You are out of range:
row <= image.rows-size
col <= image.cols-size
rowSubimage <= subimage.rows
colSubimage <= subimage.cols

should be
row < image.rows-size
col < image.cols-size
rowSubimage < subimage.rows
colSubimage < subimage.cols

Внутрішня мембрана мітохондрій — мітохондріальна мембрана, що розділяє мітохондріальний матрикс і міжмембранний простір.

Внутрішня мембрана поділяє мітохондрію на два компартменти:
 міжмембранний простір, який з іншого боку обмежено зовнішньою мембраною, що відділяє його від цитозолю,
 мітохондріальний матрикс (строма), що розташований всередині внутрішньої мембрани.

Структура
Внутрішня мембрана утворює багато складок, які називають кристами. Вони значно збільшують поверхню мембрани.

Між собою кристи з'єднуються особливими перемичками білкової природи, які підтримують їх форму. Такі ж перемички забезпечують зв'язок зовнішньої і внутрішньої мембрани в місцях розташування транспорту зовнішньої мембрани мітохондрії (TOM), який транспортує білки з цитоплазми.

The Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection is made up of nearly 1000 paintings that span the history of western painting, from the 13th century to the final years of the 20th century. Our visitors can walk through the history of art and will see the unique works of many famous masters such as Dürer, Raphael, Titian, Rubens, Rembrandt, Caravaggio, Manet, Renoir, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Kandinsky, Picasso, Dalí, Hopper and Rothko. Just like in a book, the artistic movements roll from one into another, with breath-taking real-life examples.
The collection was acquired by the Spanish State in 1993, becoming an important part of Spain's national public heritage. The maintenance of the works, their materials and the conditions in which they are housed all require a great deal of attention and care. The Fundación Mutua Madrileña is one of the museum's key partners in helping to preserve and maintain this valuable collection to the high standard it deserves.

Q: trigonometric equation using compound angle formula If $\arcsin (12/13) + \arccos (4/5) = \arcsin (k)$
Use the compound angle formula   $\sin(x+y) = \sin(x) \cos(y) + \cos(x) \sin(y)$
to find the exact value of k

A: If $$\arcsin\frac{12}{13}=x\Rightarrow\sin x=12/13,\cos x=\sqrt{1-(12/13)^2}=5/13$$ and
$$ \arccos\frac{4}{5}=y\Rightarrow\cos y=4/5,\sin y=\sqrt{1-(4/5)^2}=3/5$$
then $$\sin (x+y)=\sin x\cos y+\sin y\cos x=\frac{12}{13}\frac{4}{5}+\frac{5}{13}\frac{3}{5}=\frac{63}{65}$$ then
$$\arcsin \sin (x+y)=\arcsin \sin \frac{63}{65}=\arcsin k$$
$$k=\frac{63}{65}$$

A: let $\arcsin\dfrac{12}{13}=x$ and $ \arccos\dfrac45=y$
then $\sin x=\dfrac{12}{13}$ and $\cos y=\dfrac45$
then calculate $\cos x$ and $\sin y$ (in case the symbol)
and then get $\sin (x+y)$ then $\arcsin \sin (x+y)=\arcsin k$

How to Make Better Eating Choices That Help You Stay Healthy, Especially Now
Here's why sugar matters during the coronavirus crisis, and how to make smart choices that can protect your health.
Alexandra Hayes, Senior Content Development Editor at Thrive Global
Fotostorm/ Getty Images
ZP has joined forces with Thrive Global to bring you the best possible advice on how you can make better choices. We hope you'll enjoy the stories we create for you!
As coronavirus spreads throughout the globe, so does a big sense of uncertainty. And during these uncertain times, it's tempting to make unhealthy eating choices. Nearly 75% of people say they are concerned about their ability to keep up their healthy habits right now, according to a Thrive Global survey of 5,000 respondents around coronavirus pain points. And when we're stress-eating to cope, it's especially easy to go overboard on sugar.
What many people may not realize, though, is that there's a connection between sugar and immunity, and cutting down on the sweet stuff can help keep our immune response stronger. For instance, avoiding sugar can help us reduce chronic inflammation, which contributes to the conditions that put us at greater risk for viral infections.
Being mindful of what ends up on our plate has benefits beyond keeping us as healthy as possible; it can also give us a sense of control. After all, so much of what's happening right now is out of our hands. It's empowering to focus on the parts of our immunity and resilience that are within our control — such as prioritizing sleep, managing stress, and, yes, making better food choices.
If you'd like to try cutting back on sugar but aren't sure where to start, the good news is that you can start small — smaller than you think. You could try these two tips to get started:
Try swapping one sugary drink a day with water. Cutting down on sugar can strengthen your immune system — and water will fuel your body and mind.
Swap a sugary comfort food for a better choice. Pick a choice with less sugar that still satisfies, like yogurt instead of ice cream.

School trustees take conduct beefs behind closed doors
News May 01, 2014 Stoney Creek News
Hamilton public board's new code will keep probes, reports secret
By Richard Leitner, News Staff
A new Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board code of conduct will keep investigations into any alleged ethical breaches by trustees entirely behind closed doors unless there is a formal call to impose sanctions.
The new rules, passed unanimously by trustees on Monday, allow for informal and formal investigations of alleged violations, but both will be done in private and any written reports to trustees will also remain confidential.
Even if an informal investigation determines a trustee has broken the code of conduct, it will remain confidential as long as the offender agrees to "remedial measures" to correct the behaviour, like a warning, apology or completing a training course.
The only time the public will get a glimpse of the process will be if a formal investigation leads to a vote on a recommended sanction, which can include censure or barring the trustee from attending board or committee meetings for a period of time.
In that case, trustees will deliberate behind closed doors and then vote in open session, recording the reasons for their decision in the meeting minutes.
The accused trustee can be on hand for the secret deliberations but is barred from participating or trying to sway the vote.
That's a big change from how the board dealt with Mountain trustee Laura Peddle three years ago, when she was accused of breaking privacy rules on a secret December 2009 decision to exclude Westmount from an upper-city high school closure review.
Back then, trustees voted publicly to initiate the investigation, had the Toronto lawyer who investigated the matter present her findings in open session and made the $50,000 probe's report public.
They ultimately found Peddle had breached the rules, but voted by a slim majority to not sanction her because their own law firm concluded the closed-door Westmount decision should have been made public in 2009.
Board chair Jessica Brennan said the main thrust of the new rules is to keep the process informal and allow a trustee to correct what may be an innocent mistake, like telling a principal about a land matter that is appropriately confidential.
She said a formal investigation will be "very rare" and the new code deliberately tries to avoid a repeat of the Peddle imbroglio, when trustees had no process and created one as they went along.
"I think we would have really done that completely differently," Brennan said. "Experience taught us a lot, but if you look at the code of conduct, there's so much room for informal, chatting about it," she said.
"It really is about informal and the other one (with Peddle) had no informal elements to it. We got serious very quickly, so I really like this process much better."
Besides respecting confidentiality, the new code requires trustees to maintain the dignity and integrity of their office, respect differing views, uphold decisions of the board and not use their office for personal advantage.
They cannot, for instance, accept gifts from people or entities dealings with the board if a reasonable person would conclude it might influence their decisions.
Should an alleged breach occur, an investigation must take place within six months, but can't be initiated within two months of a municipal election or before the first meeting of the new board after an election.


When I started my blog 5 1/2 years ago, I knew nothing about website development, nevermind blogging. I have learned everything about blogging through trial and error, and by the seat of my pants. While I have learned a lot, and I have been able to apply most of it to the blog seamlessly, there are some things that are coming back to bite me in the a$$.
I code my site by hand, and this has some major limitations. I am not able to link to individual posts, only by month. I don't have any search or category functionality. I am not able to post anywhere but from home because I need to use my dreamweaver software.
I have been mulling around some options in my mind for a while, but it seems like now my hand is being forced. My commenting system, haloscan, is being phased out. My options are to switch over to a paid system, or loose everything. And I have two weeks to decide. Over Christmas.
So I have decided to export my old comments to a file, so at least I can see them. As of Jan 2nd, the old comments will apparently no longer appear on my site. In the New Year I am going to try to start fresh using Wordpress or another blogging system, but still have it hosted on my own domain. I have no idea what I am going to do about commenting yet, but I am sure that I will figure something out.
In the meantime, I apologize if things get funny for a while. This is certainly not how I hoped the changes would come but I am sure as heck not getting forced into paying for something I don't really want. If anyone has suggestions, recommendations for software, knowledge bases or anything you think would make this process less frustrating, I am certainly all ears.
I hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas and holidays, and I will see you all back here in the new year with what I am sure will be a much improved site. Thanks for all of your support! I'll leave you with some pictures of the record breaking snow we got over the weekend.
Two weeks today I will be snuggled in to some great time with my family. I cannot wait to see everyone and spend the year's best holiday with them. It does however mean that I am deep into Christmas crafting. I am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel, but it's still a long way to go.
Lots of Christmas crafting in your house?
Two good things in one post, that is my kind of day. The important part first - missbedora, my best friend of 11 years, is ENGAGED! Yeah! I couldn't be happier for her. She has found a wonderful man and they compliment each other so well. I can't wait to start planning! When friends are happy, it makes me happy - isn't that the best feeling?
In much less exciting news, I decided to make a dress for the company Christmas party. I felt I didn't quite have enough going on (gah) so I filled up the nanosecond of free time that I had. It was worth it though, as I am quite happy with the results.
It is New Look pattern 6912. The top fabric is a thin shiny satin and the bottom is a slightly stretchy suiting. I had a lot of nice compliments both at the party and afterwards from TJ's co-workers and their SO's. It was comfortable too, which is always nice in a dress.
As far as the pattern goes, it isn't too difficult to work with. The top is mostly cut on the bias, so it can be a little tricky to work with the pieces. Especially if it is satin.
It's one item I might actually wear again, because I don't think it is too festive. Just need somewhere to wear it now.
A while back I made some felt food (scroll down to the bottom) for my friend's little guy. I have the awesome title of Auntie Dani to this sweetie, even though I am sure he hardly remembers me. His Mom sent me a couple of great pictures of him playing with his food so to speak, and thought it was such a great thank you.

A-Plant continues spending spree
UK rental company A-Plant has invested £14 million (€15.67 million) in its powered access fleet, as it continues its summer spending spree.
A-Plant's latest purchase sees equipment from JLG and Skyjack
The company's 800-unit order includes booms and scissors, and A-Plant said its latest investment further cemented its position as a leading supplier of powered access equipment in the UK.
A-Plant's new equipment includes products from manufacturers such as JLG, Niftylift and Skyjack, and is said to be part of a £150 million (€167.91 million) spend in new equipment across its product portfolio.
A-Plant recently invested €61 million in new equipment from JCB.
Heading up the powered access drive is business development director, Metro Werezak, who said stricter safety regulations had led to a growing demand for high-quality powered access equipment.
He said, "The latest government figures show that last year alone over a quarter of all fatal injuries in the workplace were caused by people falling from height and half those were in the construction sector.
"Here at A-Plant, we invest heavily in equipment, such as powered access, which significantly improves safety standards on work sites as opposed to scaffolding for example."

Refurbished office furniture is now a real alternative to new furniture, bringing substantial cost savings and sustainability benefits. This article takes you through the different levels of refurbished office furniture available and what to look out for.
Thanks to advances in surface treatment and coating technologies, as well as improved furniture design, office furniture can now be refurbished to a very high standard if required.
Of course, the more work done, the greater the cost. Below are the 3 levels that Rype Office uses to categorise refurbished office furniture.
You may choose to take your existing furniture to one of these levels, or use this as a guide when buying refurbished office furniture.
Think of this as a facial. All elements are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Scuff marks, dust and grime are removed from hard surfaces. Plastic is rejuvenated and minor scratches resurfaced. Upholstery is cleaned using a carpet/upholstery cleaner. Mechanisms are tested and repaired/replaced if broken. For cabinets, a new key is supplied if missing.
This is the lowest priced refurbished office furniture option and has a very small environmental footprint. Of course it does not change the colour of the furniture or remove substantial scratches, so when buying furniture from the second hand market to refresh, choose pieces with minor scratching to match your colour palette [editors note: this is what Rype Office does when selecting furniture from its second hand trade network to refresh for its clients].
In our language, the resulting furniture is Grade B: its appearance is consistent with a new piece of furniture that has been in use for a year.
Refreshed furniture is great for matching with existing items, for example when you take on 50 new staff and you don't want your existing 100 staff to feel unloved because the new staff are receiving brand new furniture.
This is like a facelift and includes re-powder coating or respraying metal surfaces, re-coating plastic and reupholstering fabrics where needed. For desks and tables, this can include replacing the top. To be cost-effective, resurfacing only occurs on visible parts of refurbished office furniture item.
All other surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and repairs are made where needed so the item is fully operational.
We call the result Grade A, which we describe as "indistinguishable from new from a distance of 2m by the naked eye in good light".
This is reconstructive surgery. This takes the long life components from an item (such as steel frames), checks/replaces them, resurfaces them, and then rebuilds the item around them with new or remade parts. The result looks and performs as new and is indistinguishable from new up close.
Remanufacturing means you can specify your preferred colours and finishes for a fraction of the cost and environmental footprint of new (most of the cost and footprint is in the metal components). The environmental savings have been calculated at over 80% of a piece made from virgin materials (see References in the footnotes).
For more on remanufacturing go to What is Remanufactured Office Furniture?
We call this Grade A+ and you will not be able to tell it apart from new, except for the price tag which will be less than half the new list price.
In conclusion, there are 3 levels of refurbished office furniture to consider – all creating substantial cost savings and environmental benefits and involving few compromises.
Rype Office offers office design assistance and the full range of refurbished office furniture options. Using its extensive second hand furniture trade network and distributorships with furniture manufacturers, Rype Office sources high quality items to furnish complete offices at budget-friendly prices and with a small environmental footprint.

Q: Django Nested Form - Always Showing Object instead of model details I'm working on a Django project generated via Mezzanine. I've been able to create my models, however I want to have a form where an admin can select from a list to assign a value in a many to many or a one to many relationship. For example, I have a model for Schemas:
class Schema(AutoCreatedUpdatedMixin, SoftDeleteMixin):
    """List of all Schemas in a given database"""

    name = models.CharField(max_length=128, null=False)
    status = models.BooleanField(max_length=128, null=False, default=True, verbose_name="Is Active")
    description = models.CharField(max_length=65535, null=True, blank=True, default=None)
    database = models.ForeignKey(Database, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    pull_requests = models.ManyToManyField(Link)
    questions = models.ManyToManyField(Question, blank=True)
    comments = models.ManyToManyField(Comment, blank=True)
    technical_owners = models.ManyToManyField(Employee, related_name='technical_owners_schemas', blank=True)
    business_owners = models.ManyToManyField(Employee, related_name='business_owners_schemas', blank=True)
    watchers = models.ManyToManyField(Employee, related_name='watchers_schemas', blank=True)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return "{}".format(self.name)

And I have a model for Employees
class Employee(AutoCreatedUpdatedMixin, SoftDeleteMixin):
    """List of people with any involvement in tables or fields: business or technical owners, developers, etc"""

    name = models.CharField(max_length=256, blank=False, null=False, default=None, unique=True)
    email = models.EmailField(blank=True, null=True, unique=True)

    def __unicode__(self):
        return "{}".format(self.employee)

An employee can own multiple schemas and a schema can be owned by multiple employees. My database has an active employee in it, however when I try to create a Schema the employee shows up as Employee Object. Rather I would want the form to show the Employee.name. How can I do this? My admin file contains the following:
class SchemasAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ['name', 'status', 'database', 'description']
    ordering = ['status', 'database', 'name']
    actions = []
    exclude = ('created_at', 'updated_at', 'deleted_at')

A: First of all are you using python 2 or 3? For 3, the __str__ method should be used instead of __unicode__. I am writing this because it seems that there's a problem with the __unicode__ method of Employee, which although is defined as:
def __unicode__(self):
    return "{}".format(self.employee)

th Employee class does not have an employee attribute (unless there's such an attribute in the mixins that class inherits from (AutoCreatedUpdatedMixin, SoftDeleteMixin) but I don't think that is the case.
In any case, the problem is that you haven't defined a propery __str__ (if using python 3) or __unicode__ (for python 2) method on the Employee class - just define it like:
return self.name

and you should see the employee's name in the django admin select fields.


Each spring, current College of Charleston students, and recent grads, are eligible to submit their work to be considered for the Young Contemporaries exhibition. This gives them an opportunity to have their work chosen by a nationally prominent juror and exhibit in a professional gallery setting. For the 2016 exhibition, visiting artist Amanda Wojick has been chosen to select works.
Concurrent with Young Contemporaries will be the Salon des Refusés exhibition, showing in the Hill Exhibition Gallery within The Marion and Wayland H. Cato Jr. Center for the Arts. The origin of the Salon des Refusés dates to Paris in 1863, when artists who had been rejected from the official Salon caused such a protest that Emperor Napoleon III ordered another exhibition held for them. Among the painters in this Salon des Refusés were Camille Pissaro, Henri Fantin-Latour, James M. Whistler, and Edouard Manet. The Salon des Refusés will be on view March 31 – April 12, 2016.
CofC Fall 2015/Spring 2016 students (including recent Dec. graduates) can register submissions at the Halsey Institute. Up to three works per artist, per medium, allowed.

Does your school have a ski or snowboard club that doesn't hit the slopes as much as you wished it did? In many cases this is due to a lack of, or at least very minimal funding. Equipment, transportation, and those much-needed snacks cost money. Money that can't always come straight from the pockets of club members or be provided by the school budget. This is where creating a ski club booster club and/or a snowboard club booster club comes in to play. A booster club for your Ski Club or Snowboard Club could be the best weapon in your arsenal to support your funding needs. We here have at Booostr.co have put together a simple guide explaining why and how to build your own booster club for your Ski Club or Snowboard Club.
It's no secret that school programs are often in need of more funding. Athletic clubs, like any other school club or activity, have constant financial pressures and the price of sporting equipment and facilities is not cheap. The continuous rising prices can be a cause of unneeded worry. By creating a booster club you can organize fundraising events, sell merchandise, and partner with willing companies, to help raise regular funds to pay for Ski or Snowboard gear, technologies, and new and fun group outings.
Your Ski Club booster club or Snowboard Club booster clubs also increase how much parents and community members outside of your school club are involved. These individuals can donate money to help the cause, or better yet, they can lend a hand to help the booster club to thrive. Parents want what's best for their kids, and are typically more than happy to host an event, volunteer behind a booth, or simply promote the booster clubs happenings. Others in your community, will begin to see the work your booster club is doing, encouraging them to do their part and support your program. Utilizing the organizational abilities of a Ski Club booster club or Snowboard Club booster club, your community will be engaged as the driving force that makes sure that your booster club, andschool program, thrive.
Once you have your Ski Club Booster Club or Snowboard Club booster club up and running, you'll need no help in figuring out where to spend your newly raised funds. Equipment like ski, snowboard, and helmets are costly and necessary for this kind of club. If your winter booster club is planning a group outing, transportation or tickets might need to be paid for by the program. Some of that money will go into creating more fundraising events and opportunities like buying T-shirts in bulk to sell with your clubs logo on it or setting up family and friends dinner get together.
As your athletic booster club continues to maintain visibility in the public eye, through selling items and hosting events to promote your program, the interest others have in your booster club will increase. Each new individuals' piqued interest in your booster club will result in a domino effect of encouraging more kids and adults in the community to get involved in the Ski Club or Snowboard Club program and the program's booster club activities. Hold fundraising events that can be appreciated over a broad spectrum until you've gained a loyal audience. This tactic ensures that the most amount of people possible will be reached.
The following steps are the general procedures for setting up a booster club for any activity, including ski clubs and snowboard clubs. Keep in mind you will want to do some further research for the state you live in as there may be specific requirements that are not listed below.
Help to identify your booster club by choosing a creative yet logical name that helps outsides know what your club is and what its purpose is. Make sure that it rightfully represents your program. Soon after, define a mission statement that engages supporters. This helps to keep the club on a straight and narrow path toward an overall goal.
When you develop different roles for your ski booster club and/or snowboard booster club, you set before your potential volunteers what will be needed from them over the course of their time with the club.
To start recruiting volunteers, reach out to individuals who have already invested their time and money in your program. People are more likely to hope for a program to thrive if they've invested in time and time again. Parents and students within the department are other first picks to choose from, along with teacher, friends, and alumni that wish to continue their role on your selected program. Enlist the help of outsiders by sharing your mission by the word of mouth and on social media. Small incentives like gift cards or free T-shirts never hurt either!
Discuss amongst your volunteers what type of fundraisers you would like to partake in. Do you want to sell home baked goods or customized merchandise with your program's logo on it? Or perhaps you want to collaborate with your fellow booster clubs to host larger events that are more elaborate? From simple bake sales and movie nights to fancy galas and, there are countless ways to raise money. What you decide all depends on you, your booster club, and your staff.
Once everything is in order – you know what your booster club is all about, it's set up to legal standards, and your volunteers have picked out when and where they want to apply their skills to select fundraising events, it's time to start making money! Pull out all the stops to engage your friends, family, and community members to help aid in making your booster club flourish. Present your ideas and thanks all that participate, ensure that the next event will be even better and more than worth their time. Before you know it, you'll be supporting your athletic booster with ease.
This guide is an overview of the steps needed to help you start building your own ski club booster club and/or snowboard booster club. For more in-depth information on setting up a booster club, please see Booostr.co's article on setting up a booster club as a secondary source. Booster clubs take time and hard work like any other business. However the payoff of working together with fellow club supporters and your community in general, is apositivel impact on all involved, including yourself!

Timekeeping: Human Time Project
Give the gift of time
By Jason Heaton
Without the use of a wristwatch, simple medical procedures that we take for granted like taking a pulse or temperature or administering medication become far more difficult and less accurate. So when Gustavo Sainz, a Los Angeles-based screenwriter and self-proclaimed, "Time Captain," learned that many healthcare workers in developing countries lacked even this basic piece of equipment, he created the Human Time Project, a watch brand that aims to make a small but significant difference in the world.
Read more after the break.
Human Time Project's concept is simple: for every watch the company sells, it sends a duplicate to a needy health clinic in another country. Think of it as the TOMS Shoes of timepieces. Recently, HTP successfully sent its first shipment of watches to doctors and nurses at a clinic in Guatemala. To ensure that everything is above board and the watches get where they need to go, HTP has an ethics and accountability consultant and is partnering with HELPS International, a non-profit organization that facilitates aid projects in Central America.
So what are the watches like? To date, HTP sells two watches — the HTP-1 ($98+) and the HTP-M ($95+). Both are simple, time-only pieces with easy-to-read dials and rugged Japanese quartz movements, perfectly suited for their primary purpose as legible, reliable timekeepers. The HTP-1 has a 46-millimeter black ionic-plated case with wide, 24mm lugs. Its most striking characteristic is a "canteen" style hinged crown guard that screws down over the crown. This feature is of debatable use to doctors (it adds 4mm to the already massive diameter of the watch), but it's a trendy style concession that looks great on the wrist; if a good look means one more watch gets donated, we've got no qualms.
The more sensibly sized 39mm HTP-M shares the same features as its bigger sibling, minus the crown guard. Both watches come on four-ring nylon military-style straps in a variety of colors. Straps can be ordered separately — though those ones won't come with a conscience-soothing twin going to a strap-happy doctor in Guatemala.
At a mere $95, Human Time Project watches are not haute horlogerie by any means — and you can't put a price on helping others. They're perfect "beater" watches for those times when you want something rugged and replaceable, like yard work, sports, or the odd volunteer trip to a rural health clinic in Central America.

Austin-based VR studio Ghost Machine has announced that their latest game title, "Gumball Drift" will be available for the HTC Vive VR platform at this weeks' launch on April 5.
The game which features a miniature racing league that can be played seated, or at room scale on the HTC Vive, will be the first official release from the studio on the new VR platform.
"I'm really excited that we are able to be part of such a well orchestrated and amazing launch of such a ground breaking product as the HTC/Valve Vive." commented Neal Nellans, CEO of Ghost Machine. "It's been a pleasure to work with the great partners at HTC and Valve, and we are looking forward building many more games for their platform.", added Nellans.
The game, available tomorrow from digital downloading service Steam and the Studios Website, features both single player and multiplayer modes, allows players to control race cars in a miniature environment against one another. Using this unique perspective, Ghost Machine was able to eliminate all of the motion sickness usually associated with Virtual Reality. "With 10 different racing environments and 3 different difficulties, I expect players to be immersed in the game for longer periods of time and comfort was a primary focus.", Nellans mentioned.
HTC Vive is an upcoming virtual reality headset being developed by HTC and Valve Corporation. This headset is designed to utilize "room scale" technology to turn a room into 3D space via sensors, with the virtual world allowing the user to navigate naturally, with the ability to walk around and use motion tracked handheld controllers to vividly manipulate objects, interact with precision, communicate and experience immersive environments.
