It all started with a map. Several maps, to be fair. I've been fiddling with the idea of modular cartography since a while, and although it's far from being an uncharted field (pun intended), there still was a lack of products for regional maps with a decent quality around.
Out of the blue, I decided to experiment more in this field, and shared the results on socials. The reaction was surprisingly good, and many asked what game was associated with that. Working from a very different perspective than my usual, I drafted the rules with a result already in mind: a tile-placement game capable of generating countless maps, focusing more on topology rather than relying on resource management or workers placement.
Three prototype iterations followed, both refining the mechanics and the whole tile placement geometry issues: cool designs could work in a very little number of combinations, and optimizing the joining rules isn't easy.
A Round of Fire Battlemat!
A place for games and other very serious things.

Though neglected for a long time, one of the two lineages of Testudines (turtles and tortoises) the Pleurodira has been attracting the researchers, whose articles usually deal with descriptions of new species (extant and extinct), behavior or feeding habits, or phylogenetic analyzes of one of the subgroups of Pleurodira, Chelidae or Pelomedusoides, the latter subdivided in two lineages with extant taxa: Pelomedusidae and Podocnemidae. There some phylogenetic analyzes with terminal taxa from the main groups of Pleurodira, but only with molecular data. Therefore, a morphological data analysis containing taxa from all the clades of this group, including fossils, is necessary to better understand the evolutionary history of this lineage. In this dissertation, I describe a new species of Bairdemys (Podocnemidae) from the middle Miocene of Venezuela, and I include it in a phylogenetic analysis with extensive taxonomic sampling, including taxa from all the lineages of Pleurodira. This analysis is based on morphological characters (new and previously proposed ones) and it is the largest exclusive phylogenetic analysis ever made for Pleurodira, allowing inferences about the general patterns of diversification and morphology of the group. At the same time, the new described táxon shows morphological characters that, along with geological aspects of its type locality, allow inferences about a marine wave of diversification of Podocnemidae during the Cenozoic, which achieved great success, specially by the end of Oligocene and beginning of Miocene.

U.S. State Department Strengthening Hamas
GazaHamas
By KHALED ABU TOAMEH, GATESTONE—
The U.S. Administration has sought to downplay the significance of this week's visit to the Gaza Strip by the Emir of Qatar, Hamad al-Thani.
"We have seen the reports that Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa visits Gaza today on a humanitarian mission," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said. "We share Qatar's deep concern for the welfare of the Palestinian people, including those residing in Gaza."
Many Palestinians, especially the Palestinian Authority leadership in the West Bank, do not share the U.S. Administration's position regarding the emir's visit.
Palestinian Authority leaders do not see the visit as a "humanitarian mission," but as an attempt to strengthen Hamas.
In fact, the high-profile visit of the emir and his wife to the Gaza Strip was anything but a "humanitarian mission."
This was a visit that has political and economic implications, not only for the Palestinians, but for the entire region as well.
True, the emir promised to invest $400 million in various projects in the Gaza Strip. It remains to be seen if the Qatari ruler will fulfill his promise.
The timing of the visit raises many questions and sheds light as to the emir's true motives.
Qatar has always been supportive not only of Hamas, but Muslim Brotherhood and many jihadi organizations.
If Qatar really had "deep concern for the welfare of the Palestinian people," where was the emir during the past seven years?
As the emir himself pointed out during the visit, it was the so-called Arab Spring — which has seen the rise of Islamists to power in a number of Arab countries over the past two years – that paved the way for his visit to the Gaza Strip.
"Were it not for the Egyptian revolution and President Mohamed Morsi," the emir said, "the visit would not have taken place."
The emir came to the Gaza Strip to offer not only financial aid to Hamas, but also moral and political backing. The visit, the first of its kind by a head of state to the Gaza Strip since Hamas seized control over the area in 2007, was aimed at helping the Islamist movement break the state of isolation in which it has been since then.
The emir did not come to the Gaza Strip to try to persuade Hamas to abandon terror and recognize Israel's right to exist. Nor did he come to the Gaza Strip to tell Hamas to endorse democracy and stop its oppressive measures against Palestinians, particularly women.
The emir's visit is a huge diplomatic victory for Hamas and a severe blow to moderate Palestinians and the Palestinian Authority.
Palestinian leaders in the West Bank were quick to express deep disappointment with the emir's visit, rightly arguing that it would only enhance Hamas's standing and empower the radical camp among the Palestinians.
The emir's visit also means that the Gaza Strip has become a separate Palestinian entity that has no link to the West Bank's Palestinian Authority, and which is capable of conducting its running its own economy and foreign policy.
The visit has actually solidified the split between the West Bank and Gaza Strip, turning Abbas's effort to establish an independent Palestinian state on the pre-1967 lines into a fantasy; if he tried to establish a Palestinian state on the West Bank alone, would be accused of "abandoning" the dream of creating a full, united, Palestinian state, and of dividing Palestine into two states.
Finally, the emir's visit to the Gaza Strip also serves Qatar's wish of becoming a major player in the region as well as in the Israeli-Arab conflict. Syria, Iran and Egypt, countries which once used to have enormous influence over Hamas, have been pushed aside by Qatar's ruler and his promise of big checks.

Seyfarth Synopsis: While employees who have recently taken leave may be terminated for legitimate reasons, establishing a non-retaliatory termination can be challenging. The timing of the termination alone can support causation, and even a well thought out and justified termination may raise issues of fact that would prevent quick resolution in court. The 11th Circuit recently addressed such a case.
In Jones v. Gulf Coast Health Care of Delaware, LLC, No. 16-11142 (11th Cir. Apr. 19, 2017), Rodney Jones brought suit against his former employer, Accentia Health and Rehabilitation Center of Tampa Bay (Accentia), a long-term-care nursing facility, in Florida state court. Jones alleged that in suspending and later terminating him, Accentia interfered with the exercise of his rights under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and retaliated against him for asserting those rights. Accentia removed the action to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, and moved for summary judgment on both of Jones's claims.
Jones, who was Activities Director for Accentia until he was fired in 2015, initially was approved for 12 weeks of FMLA leave for shoulder surgery. The day before Jones was scheduled to return to work, his doctor reported that he would not be able to return to work and resume regular physical activity for an additional 7 weeks. The doctor's report also stated that Jones needed to continue physical therapy.
Jones wished to return to his job and asked his supervisor to allow him to return on light duty. His supervisor, however, refused to reinstate Jones until he submitted an unqualified fitness-for-duty certification. Thus, Jones did not ask his doctor for a light-duty certification and instead requested additional time off from Accentia. He was granted another 30 days of non-FMLA medical leave in order to complete his physical therapy.
While on non-FMLA medical leave, Jones twice visited Busch Gardens and went on a trip to St. Martin. Jones sent pictures of the trip to colleagues at Accentia and posted some on Facebook, including pictures of himself on the beach and in the ocean.
Jones returned to work two weeks before the date estimated by his doctor and met with his supervisor at the beginning of the day. During the meeting, Jones presented his supervisor with a fitness-for-duty certification confirming that he could immediately resume his job. His supervisor responded by showing Jones the photos from his Facebook page.
The supervisor then informed Jones that "corporate" believed, based on these Facebook posts, that Jones had been well enough to return to work at an earlier point. Jones was subsequently suspended and given an opportunity to respond to the charges in a letter, but he failed to do so and his employment was terminated.
Jones brought suit against Accentia, claiming that Accentia interfered with the exercise of his FMLA rights and retaliated against him for asserting those rights. In February 2016, the district court granted Accentia's motion for summary judgment, holding that Jones had failed to establish a prima facie case of either interference or retaliation under the FMLA. Jones appealed.
The 11th Cir. affirmed the judgment of the district court with respect to Jones's interference claim, but reversed the judgment with respect to his retaliation claim.
The 11th Cir. concluded there was no interference because Jones "likely" waived his FMLA right to reinstatement by taking an additional 30 days of leave, he should have submitted a fitness-for-duty certification by the end of his FMLA leave and there was no evidence that Accentia did not implement its FMLA certification policy in a uniform fashion.
As to retaliation, the 11th Cir. reversed, ruling that the short amount of time between Jones' return from leave and his termination created a genuine issue of fact as to causation. The court also concluded there was a factual issue concerning pretext because Accentia offered shifting reasons for the termination. Jones was told that he was being fired because he engaged in activities that demonstrated he could have returned to work earlier. However, during litigation, Accentia offered additional and inconsistent reasons for the termination.
Training managers, HR individuals and other employees who handle leave issues not to make any comments about the timing of a leave or whether a leave will be difficult for the employer to manage.


AWS released the new R4 instance type in late November, so you know I've got to test it with Tableau Server just as soon as I possibly can. For me, that's after re:Invent.
The new R4 features 2.3 GHZ v4 Broadwell CPUs, as well as improved networking and throughput to EBS. Sounds like my sort of instance.
I stood up a 16 vCPU (8 core) R4 (r4.4xlarge) with 122 GB of RAM. I also baselined a similarly sized C4, M4, and R3 using the same workload.
In all cases, I installed Tableau 10.1.1 on its own volume – an EBS GP2 100GB disk.
Since we now deploy 4 VizQl processes on an 8 core by default, I went with it. However, I also repeated each test with only 2 vizqls – our "older" guidance. I'll ruin the surprise right now and point out that for my workload, 2 vizqls seemed to be better.
All in all, it's fairly similar to workloads I've played with in the past. Aggressive, but maybe a touch lighter based on the results I saw across all instance types.
As I usually do, I'm hiding values on the axes so a few of you (you know who you are) don't rat hole on the numbers themselves. The numbers only are relevant to MY workload, which you won't ever run. I just want to show you how one type of machine performs against another…and then you need to test for yourself. As always, I used TabJolt for these tests. I applied 3 seconds of think time after a "view" and 5 seconds of think time after an "interaction". 60% of my executions were "view only", and 40% were "view, then interact".
C4: Good CPU + BAD RAM = Not Great for Tableau.
No surprise, the C4 was the laggard. Tableau recommends 8 GB of RAM per core, and this sucker has slightly less than half of that at 30 GB.
The (now older) R3 also has122 GB of RAM, and a respectable processor. As you can see, 4 VizQls on this machine also had a higher error rate and response time than 2 VizQls. Transactions per second (TPS) were lower and the 4 VizQL machine seemed to saturate a little bit more quickly.
Here, we compare against the C4. The R3 clearly is the winner across the board.
My old beloved go-to instance, the M4. Here's what it looks like, 4 VizQLs vs. 2 VizQLS. There wasn't as much of a difference here.
It's pretty close to a dead heat.
Against the venerable M4? It's better. You can see this machine is able to handle more users, and gives us ~20% more TPS. Response time on the 2-VizQl machine is also lower than vs. the M4. I think we may have a new champion here!
(If you've really got time on your hands you can tease out "actual" numbers via tooltips, as well…but remember, it's NOT about the numbers – they are based on my workload, not yours).

Musa Yar'Adua
Musa Yar'Adua was a Nigerian politician who served as minister of Lagos Affairs during the Nigerian first republic. Together with fellow legislators Usman Liman and Isa Kaita they constituted the major caucus within the Katsina province of the Northern Peoples Congress. (1)
He is the father of current Nigerian president, Umaru Yar'Adua and Shehu Musa Yar'Adua.
Yar'Adua was born in 1912, his father was the first treasurer in the Katsina Native Authority. In 1930, he graduated from the katsina Training College and from 1930-1945, he was a middle school teacher. He was conferred with the title of Tafidan Katsina in 1959 and also became a member of the Native Authority.
In 1959, he won a parliamentary election for the Katsina Central constituency earning 8,804 votes over his opponents with about 17,440 voters casting ballots. He was orginally made minister of Pensions towards the end of 1959 but was later given the Lagos Affairs ministry.

Following tooth extraction which could be the result of periodontal disease, fracture roots, abscess formation etc. the bone and gum around the removed root starts to shrink away. Research has shown that up to 40-60% of the remaining bone shrinks away within 2-3years.
This leaves areas which areas which are unsightly because of the reduction of hard (bone) and soft tissue (gum) volume. This results in less than ideal final crown or bridgework in terms of size and shape compared to the adjacent natural teeth. We can offer rebuilding of this soft and hard tissue as we have had years of experience in providing these sorts of procedures.
Should a patient request dental implants to replace these teeth than bone grafting may have to be done prior to any implants placed. The replaced teeth look odd as it maybe much longer and the gum around this tooth will also look sunken in. A procedure called ridge augmentation restores the natural hard and soft tissue profiles so that the replaced teeth look much more in harmony with the natural teeth. There are many different techniques of ridge augmentation and the actual procedure used will depend on the volume of tissue lost and also final restorative therapy to replace the missing teeth. This procedure can be carried out under local anaesthetic and depending on the size of the area to be filled can either be done with small bone graft or a soft tissue graft taken from the roof of mouth. You will be given a choice of materials to be used in the bone graft.
The bone graft can either be taken from the patient (back of mouth) or usually from an either animal source (Bovine Bio-Oss) or synthetic material (Straumann bone ceramic. The bone graft helps to provide a stable base for the dental implants and gum tissue by bonding with the natural bone over a period of several months. After it has matured then the bridgework or implant therapy can be carried out. The healing period can vary and the success rates are very high but smokers are advised to refrain from smoking for at least 1 week prior to the procedure and for 3 weeks afterward for the best results. In some more advanced cases both hard and soft tissue grafts are used together.
To understand this we must look at what causes gum disease in the first place. The cause of gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis) is bacteria (bacterial plaque) inside your mouth which has overgrown. This is known as the indigenous bacteria i.e. it comes from own body. Just like the bacteria which we have inside our gut. The treatment for plaque induced gum diseases is all aimed at reducing the bacteria above and below the gum. However, we cannot get rid of indigenous bacteria, as this resides in our own body. That's why antibiotics have only a limited effect in reducing the symptoms and the effect does not last more than a few weeks.
All of periodontal treatments are aimed at reducing plaque bacteria to such a level that it does not become harmful and cause any further problems. First line of periodontal therapy is called non surgical treatment. Firstly we need to reduce the plaque build up above the gum by improving brushing & flossing techniques. Then any hardened deposits of plaque bacteria (called calculus or tartar) are removed both above and below the gum line by the use of both hand and ultrasonic instruments. Finally any fine deposits of bacteria and calculus are removed from the root surface with the use of specialised hand instruments called gracey curettes. In addition any teeth/tooth which have moved out of position and cause any problems with the bite may be adjusted (occlusal adjustment).
A reassessment is carried out approximately two months later to check the success of the treatment. The vast majority of cases we have treated at the Birmingham Periodontal & Implant Centre show at least 90% improvement in reduction of pocket depths. Almost all of the bleeding gums should be eliminated and in most mild to moderate cases this should be all the treatment that is needed. At this visit if we still find problems, then there is the option to have gum surgery. Gum surgery enables the periodontist to see the actual roots and bone surrounding the roots and also to remove any plaque/calculus deposits and any infection. Secondly the gum could be lowered to completely reduce the periodontal pockets also.
The final phase of any periodontal treatment is called maintenance therapy. Here 3 monthly hygiene appointments are arranged and professional cleaning above and below the gum line is carried out. Periodontitis needs to be treated like other chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure which cannot be cured but can be controlled by medication. The medication for periodontitis is good home care and regular professional hygiene visits. With this regime one can expect to keep their teeth for hopefully rest of their life.
Severe Chronic Periodontitis together with drug induced gingival hyperplasia (Nefidipine). After liasing with the General Medical Practitioner to change medication, the patient underwent a full course of non-surgical therapy.
Both signs and symptoms are actually something that is abnormal to a healthy person and usually indicate that there is a medical condition developing. The difference between a sign and a symptom however is that a symptom is usually something that a patient experiences and can describe, for example; my gums bleed when I brush my teeth. A sign on the other hand is an observation a periodontist makes upon an examination, a clinical discovery that proves that there is indeed gum disease present. For example a periodontist would notice gingival recession or periodontal pockets.
Do you have gingivitis? This is what you should look for!
It is important to note you may have periodontal disease and not experience any of these symptoms. Periodontal disease is silent and chronic, rarely giving an advanced warning that tissue destruction is taking place. That is why it is important to have regular dental checkups.
Changes in appearance are usually described according to colour, shape, size, consistency and surface characteristics. Healthy gingivae are pale pink and the edges of the gum line tightly hug the shape of the tooth. Gingival inflammation usually starts between the teeth and gradually spreads around the tooth margin. The infection causes the tissues to become red and swollen and the fine definition and tone of the gingivae is lost, they eventually become smooth and glossy.
Gingival bleeding is probably the most frequent patient complaint. Unfortunately, bleeding is so common that some people may not take it seriously and even believe it to be normal. Bleeding is usually evidence that bacteria is present and an infection has begun. It occurs most frequently while brushing the teeth. Bleeding may also be provoked on eating certain hard foods such as apples. Patients can taste blood and it may even be smelt on the patients breath.
Residual food deposits especially such things as garlic, curry, onion etc….represent the most common cause of halitosis. For example garlic that is absorbed in the intestines is then taken into the bloodstream and finally exhaled by the lungs, so the odour can be smelt long after the food has been consumed.
Bacterial infections in the respiratory tract, nose, sinuses, tonsils and lungs can cause an embarrassing smell as can diseases of the digestive tract.
Mouth odour is common upon waking up and between meals and is associated with food stagnation and reduced salivary slow.
Metabolic diseases such as uraemia and diabetes give characteristic smells, such as the odour as acetone in the case of diabetics with an increase in blood sugar levels.

From Rolling Stone, June 17, 2009:
Paul McCartney will record a score for an animated film based on the children's story Macca co-wrote, High in the Clouds. According to Variety, the film will be produced by former New Line Cinema founders Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne and directed by The Lion King's Rob Minkoff. "Paul [McCartney] said he would commit to a score of original songs as part of it," Lynne said. "Bob and I had never focused on animation in our career, but that got our attention."
High in the Clouds tells the story of a squirrel's quest to find an animal sanctuary, Variety writes. The film will be McCartney's first heavy involvement in an animated project since 1968's Beatles cartoon Yellow Submarine, and his first time composing music for a movie since 1967's The Family Way. McCartney does have a long history of contributing songs to films, however, penning the hit "Live and Let Die" for the James Bond film of the same name and the title track of 2001's Vanilla Sky soundtrack. In both cases, McCartney was nominated for an Academy Award in the Best Original Song category.

Business Owners and Social Media
When social media began its assault on the American way of life, it was solely the purview of young users.
Today, social media is a part of everyday life and is employed by Americans of almost all ages. It is also a significant ingredient in the success of all businesses, big or small.
Our new research study, Serving Business Owners, examines the attitudes and concerns of America's Business Owners in all aspects of their lives running their own business and their own personal financial state. Because it is 2016, social media plays a role in the success of most businesses.
But not all. A surprising percentage of Business Owners eschew social media in their marketing efforts. Our research shows that based on age and gender segmentation, there is a large difference in the usage of social media.
"Business Owners spend a significant amount of time and energy in promoting their business, and social media makes it easier to reach a large audience,'' said Spectrem President George H. Walper Jr. "Some social media websites are better than others at consumerism, and some Business Owners are more aware of the advantages of working within the social media framework than others."
Facebook remains the most ubiquitous of social media sites, and 71 percent of Business Owners under the age of 46 use Facebook in their public relations efforts. However, only 50 percent of Business Owners between the ages of 46 and 60 do so, while only 35 percent of Business Owners over the age of 61 do so.
LinkedIn is more used for business-to-business communication, but is still a site used to promote business offerings. Although only 62 percent of the youngest Business Owners used LinkedIn in public relations, 38 percent of the oldest Business Owners do so, a slight increase above the use of Facebook for that segment.
Because of its format, Twitter requires a bit more day-to-day, hour-to-hour communication. Fifty percent of the youngest Business Owners use Twitter for public relations, while only 25 percent of those between the ages of 46-60 do so and only 19 percent of those over the age of 61 use Twitter.
Despite the fact that some Business Owners choose not to use those forms of communication for public relations, their use is in most cases above the uses of other forms of media. For instance, television advertising for all Business Owners ranges at just above 10 percent, and billboard advertising comes in at under 10 percent for all Business Owners (with young Business Owners leading the pack in that category).
Radio advertising has a slightly higher usage rate, topping out at 18 percent of Business Owners over the age of 60.
Despite cries that print media is dying, approximately 35 percent of all Business Owners use newspapers or magazines for public relations purposes, topped by 39 percent of those Business Owners between the ages of 46 and 60. Even 27 percent of the youngest Business Owners still employ print media for PR purposes.

As previously pointed out in this post bankruptcy filings rose across the board in the first 3 quarters of 2006 even as high FICO scores have become even harder to come by. So while just over half the population has a score of 700+ ("safe" according to the industry) only 1 in 10 enjoys a "perfect" score of 800 to 850. The rest of us have an average FICO score of less than 620. This so-called subprime group of consumers is prayed on by mortgage brokers and real estate quick-sale artists peddling mortgages with such dizzyingly high interest and such hard to understand don't-ask-don't-tell terms that they amount to 30 year credit cards. No wonder the Associated Press reported that late payments on auto and home equity loans climbed in the final quarter of last year and the American Bankers Association said late payments on home equity lines of credit were sharply higher than last year and the highest since first quarter 2006. Of course the weak housing market contributed as well.
Ed. Note: payments are delinquent if they are 30+ days past due.
If you are a homeowner frustrated by the market's wild swings or are still trying to figure out how payments on your adjustible rate mortgage got out of control ("it seemd so reasonable at first …") then you are not alone. Visit us at M. Hedayat & Associates, P.C. to learn what we can do to help; you can also call 630.378.2200 or e-mail me at mmhedayat1@gmail.com to tell your story.

Southern Plantation, Limited Edition by Model Homes 1980-81. The dollhouse shell was built and customized by Richard Lea Shaw for his mother, Helen Shaw, who began decorating the house. When Helen passed away (6-1992), she left the house, now known as Dogwood Manor, to her daughter-in-law, Grace. Grace finished wiring the house for electricity and has been adding to the contents since she inherited it. The house sits on a custom made cabinet made for it by her husband, James E. Shaw. The cabinet looks the same on both sides with three drawers and two - two door storage sections. In effect, the cabinet is like having two separate cabinets built back to back. When Grace and Jim decided to move Dogwood Manor into their home, they had to remodel the bedroom it was to be placed into. The dollhouse wouldn't go through the door. A closet had to be made smaller, and the door frame expanded. Grace had a new 12 panel glass door put on the bedroom so that the dollhouse could be seen from the hallway with the door closed. The Shaw's have 6 cats and have to keep the door closed to protect the dollhouse. Grace is in the process of building a two car garage with an in-law apartment above it. She designed and constructed a second story deck to allow access into the in-law apartment. She has also purchased a greenhouse kit that she plans to build, and add to the plantation manor in the future. Pictures of the main house are below. (Click on the pictures for a larger view.) We hope you enjoy your visit and will come back soon. Also visit the In-Law /Garage (under construction) by clicking this link.

August 8, 2017: This is a trend that has occurred in the last week or so. Archaeology digs around the Promised Land continue to unearth a wealth of information. The conclusion, the Bible is an accurate source of historical information.
Here's to all the critics who say the Bible is just a little book of stories, a work of fiction. It has been a rough week for secular scholars, archaeologists, scientists, and atheists. Below are links to a list of recent articles noted in the news.
This entry was posted on August 6, 2017 at 1:51 PM and is filed under Culture, Trend Update with tags Andrew, apostles, archaeology, atheists, Babylonian conquest, Bible, city of David, City of Julias, Dead Sea Scrolls, Egyptians, Gezer, Israel, jerusalem, Jesus Christ, Peter, Philip, Promised Land, scholars, science, Sea of Galilee.

A cell phone with multiple SIM cards (multiple networks). Flip the switch to alternate between different networks and save money.
the idea is good, but don't you think the phone can get chunkier for all the extra space needed.

We could have a mechanism by which audience participation determines the storyline of a movie. Like those Choose Your Own Adventure books. Multiple versions of a movie using this technology would be filmed. At a specified time or times enabled films would pause and display a poll question (with 2 or more choices) to the audience. Moviegoers in theaters furnished with voting devices would vote on an outcome during these times. The plot developments receiving the most votes by audience members at that showing of the movie would determine which version is played during that showing.
"Should they sell the company now? (A) Yes or (B) No"
"Is he/she lying? (A) Yes or (B) No"
"Is he/she going to have an affair? (A) Yes or (B) No"
"Should the accused be found (A) innocent or (B) guilty by the jury?"
Contrasting versions of the movie would be filmed to accommodate all possible storylines. Various versions may be played during different showings depending on which choices receive the majority of the audience votes each time.
The technology could be embedded in DVDs as well. DVDs for these movies could have the functionality to allow viewers to determine the plot development using their remote control to input their answers to specified questions. Televisions which adopt the technology would allow these films to be controlled through the remote. If the viewer doesn't have a television with that capability a default version would be specified and shown by the TV station.
Statistics related to the responses of audiences for each plot question and the frequency of different versions shown in theaters could be tracked automatically. That aggregated data could be owned by the company making (and patenting?) the tech and then maybe sold for a fee to firms who want to analyze the data.
Surprised this hasn't been tried yet. Now someone feel free to run with it! I would love to see this in place at theaters.
The voting data would be huge too for marketing companies and the movie industry to track the public's changing preferences, essentially a never-ending free source of survey responses that could be instantaneously analyzed through the internet, so they make could better decisions on what kind of commercials, TV shows, new movies, etc. to make.
Works quite well in some Youtube videos. Search for "interactive video"
A gadget for coffee pot handles at work. It would show the last time a pot was brewed. Great for big companies where workers are making coffee all day long. Then you know if the coffee is freshly brewed or not.
Robot dogs are coming on the market now but they don't do much of anything useful. It would be nice to have one that could store a picture of your tennis balls, baseballs, or golf balls in its memory and then retrieve them on a voice command. One of the minor irritants in playing these sports is going around and picking up the balls just to keep playing, especially when you're alone and hitting tennis balls against a practice wall or driving golf balls across an empty field. Since computers can be taught to recognize simple voice commands, you could even teach it to go left, right, or backwards in order to help it find the balls.
During a particularly brutal red tide episode when you couldn't go outside for more than a minute or two without starting to cough I decided to test out one of my theories. Went outside, waited for the red tide effect to cause the tickling in the back of the throat sensation that stimulates a cough, pressed a couple of fingers up against that point on my throat and hummed to create a counter-vibration in my throat. The tickling sensation went away and no coughing occurred. Now all I need is a collar that can be switched on to mimic the humming vibration so I can sit outside without sounding like a 10-pack a day smoker when the red tide is up (that collar is what this idea calls for).
We're just about there. Considering the rapid progress we're making in the area of miniature flying robots and the ability to control them using Bluetooth technology, it seems like we should be able to keep mosquitoes away by disguising a couple of these mini-robots as dragonflies and have them continually fly in circles around us. The flight pattern would come from the wireless control built inside the rim of the hat.
For the schizophrenics we love.
A common problem with severe schizophrenia is that the people who have it stop taking their medication once it starts working. One of the reasons they do this is because as soon as they feel normal again they don't think they need it any more. In severe cases they have to be hospitalized for their own protection (and sometimes our protection in the case of paranoid schizophrenia). We could fix this problem just by combining two technologies - the ankle bracelet designed for people on house arrest and the ultrasonic patches designed for drug delivery.
The bracelet would have a 30 day supply of medication in it that would automatically be administered through the skin without needles. At the end of the 30 days the patient would come in to get the bracelet refilled. How can we be sure they'd do this since they don't refill their prescriptions now once they start feeling good? Simple - we make them feel not good after the 30 day period is over. You see, there'd be two drug chambers in the bracelet, one for whatever drug they were supposed to be getting, and one for a drug that would make them feel slightly nauseous after the 30-day period was over (once a day at random times). The discomfort they felt would be similar in intensity to morning sickness and would be enough to get them back in for a refill (in answer to the question of why we don't just give them pills and let the bracelet take over after 30 days - they'll simply toss the pills).
By creating a medicine bracelet that worked like we'd be able to let people with severe cases of schizophrenia back out on the street again without fearing for their safety or ours. Given the choice between being locked up or being let free with the bracelet on, I think the schizophrenics would opt for freedom too.
Polymers have been used to imitate a gecko's clinging ability. It cautioned against trying to climb a building by making a pair of gloves out of them though because the pads would wear out after a few steps, so to speak. We don't need gloves to get out of skyscrapers during a fire though, we need mats with gecko-like fibers on both sides. During a fire the mats would roll all the way down from their rooftop cases to the ground, their undersides forming a tight bond with the walls of the skyscraper as they went.
As soon as they were completely unrolled people trying to get out of the building could open the windows, release a narrow catwalk built into each windows casement (designed as either a fold-out or slide-out), walk over to the mat, and then crawl down it. Since there would be plenty of surface area available they could make sure each body part was securely attached to it before moving an arm or leg. Fire drills would have to be held ahead of time to get people used to these fire escapes. Maybe they could practice by climbing up the building.
Maybe I just live near cheap hospitals that give out primitive crutches but it doesn't seem like it would be hard or expensive to improve on the basic design.
For starters they could make it easier for you to look through your wallet (say at a checkout line or fast food counter) by having a switch in the crutch handle that, when pushed, would unfold a tripod beneath the foot of the crutch (umbrella-like) so it could stand on its own instead of sliding down the counter you rested it against. Each metal leg of the tripod would have a second piece of metal attached on its underside, forming a reverse tripod, so when you pressed another button on the handle the legs would fold right back up again.
Another improvement would be a small shock absorber on the bottom of each crutch so you'd get less of a jolt with each step. Done correctly, the stiffness of the absorber could be adjusted to the user's desired level of comfort.
Sometimes it seems as though everything we could possibly need has already been invented or created. However, if you think about the little problems that crop up there are still numerous ways to make everyday life just a little bit easier. As you go about your day think of solutions that could resolve those problems.
Perhaps you have heard about pollution problems and want to find a form of some existing machine that is more "environmentally sound." Maybe there's a need for a box designed to chill any food instantly by slowing down the movement of the molecules within it - flash freezing or chilling. We are always in need of cleaner renewable energy and ways to make our cars more fuel efficient. Even small innovations can lead to larger improvements years down the road, no pun intended.
Carts in retail and grocery stores have a seat for a child to sit in. As the parent is pushing the cart the child is always facing the parent.
The seat should be re-designed so the child is facing the front of the cart and can see where they are going. The child will be more entertained during the sometimes very long shopping trip and will be less anxious and have more patience.
I'm liking this change. The child would definitely be more stimulated, learn more, and parents could more easily point out different items and involve them in the shopping process. Playing devil's advocate, detractors may note that having their feet hang over the opposite way shrinks the amount of cart space available for groceries, can be unsanitary if they're shoes/feet/legs aren't clean, and can lead to the child hitting the parent with the back of their head if they are throwing a temper tantrum.
I'm thinking the negatives would probably outweigh the positives on this one. I've got a feeling it wouldn't be the parent pointing out new items - if the kids can see everything in front of them there will be a lot of "I want this", "I want that", etc... At least with them facing you you're blocking them from seeing most of the things you've already gone by.
Now that someone's invented a silence machine that can generate sound waves in an opposite phase to cancel out irritating noises we should take that one step further and create a modified version of a mechanical voice box that would generate sound waves in the opposite phase when you speak. A companion piece would be clipped onto the mouthpiece of a phone to convert your words back into the audible range (either by just receiving one phase or receiving a transmission of the words from the mechanical voice box on your neck). It might make your office look like bunch of psychotic people were mumbling under their breath but at least it would be a very very quiet office. It would be even better if we could take this one step further and do the same with cellphones. That way we wouldn't have to be annoyed by people talking to invisible partners.
A tangent - some of the monks belonging to Tibetan choirs are able to simultaneously hold three notes to form a chord. Knowing that, I wonder if there are species out there who communicate the same way, holding two notes in opposing phases. If their ears had evolved to hear only one phase it would be an excellent way to communicate warnings to others in your species without giving away your own position and getting eaten in the process.
Edible Plant Calculator... Several programs have been written to identify plants but so far the only ones I've seen are for specific locations that don't cover much geography. Someone should be able to write a program that can cover the world. A GPS on the calculator would tell the program which database segment to query. From there the user would key in answers to simple questions until the program was able to identify the plant, including some of its more pertinent characteristics - like whether or not you can eat it. The link provides an example of how this type of program would work.
Plant Identification Database... I know this is simply another version of the "Survival Made Easy" idea but I'm hoping that if it's included often enough some wealthy reader will decide to start manufacturing them. I want to buy one.
See the world through their eyes.
This helmet would look somewhat like a motorcycle helmet with a clear plastic visor. Once you put it on you could select auditory or visual mode.
In auditory mode receivers on its sides would pick up ultrasonic frequencies and translate them to octaves you could hear.
In visual mode you'd pick an animal from a controller that came with the helmet and the faceplate would re-configure whatever you looked at as though you were seeing it from the viewpoint of the selected animal (selecting hawk would sharpen the view, selecting fly would break it down into compound segments, etc.).
I thought of adding smell for one of the modes but that could quickly become overpowering (although if the helmet could be made to heighten the strength of single molecules you'd be able to smell like a bloodhound and track escapees or find victims amongst the rubble).
When you're sitting at your desk and want to give your eyes a break you'd just close them and tap a toggle on the back of your earpiece. Random comedy routines that were downloaded into the earpiece when you put it on its base station the previous night would start playing (might be nice for boring meetings too, as long as you could keep yourself from laughing out loud).
Never lose words that are on the tip of your tongue again.
The army has its reasons for developing non-acoustic sensors but there's another reason for them that I haven't seen mentioned in any link yet. Have you ever been in the middle of a conversation, thought of something you wanted to add to it, and been sidetracked just long enough to forget what you were going to say next? The "Find Your Train of Thought" speech recorder would stop that from happening. Whenever you were about to be interrupted before having a chance to say what was on your mind, you'd silently mouth the words, politely letting the speaker continue uninterrupted. Once they were through speaking you could either recall what you wanted to say from your working memory or press a replay button on your earpiece (each tap on it would play back your last silent words in 20-30 second increments).
Making life a little less dirty.
After watching a segment on TV about how we should always wipe off a phone with disinfectant before we use it if the phone is also used by other people (to stop the spread of things like the flu) it seemed like there had to be a better way to accomplish the same thing. Very few people would carry around a bottle of disinfectant just to do this. A self-cleaning phone would solve the problem. Every time it was put back in its cradle a 30 second blast of ultrasound would kill any germs that had just been deposited on it. See link.
We make remote controls for our garage doors and car doors so we should be able to make one for garbage can lids. If keeping track of the remote is a problem a simple coded access panel on the lid that would lock and unlock the lid should do. If any raccoon can figure out the key sequence to open one of these lids then we'll know which species is going to succeed us on this world.
This would be a set of binoculars that worked kind of like a Tivo. In slow-motion mode they would tape what you're looking at and show it to you slowly. There would have to be logic built into it the software that could spot what was moving and discreetly show you which direction to move the binoculars in so you'd capture the image you wanted to see while watching the slowed down picture (maybe an arrow in the upper left or righthand corner of the picture would do the trick). This might also be useful for watching boxing matches at the arena where sometimes the fists fly so fast you don't get to see their effect as more than a blur.
This would be a small vibrating pad that could be triggered remotely by someone within 20 feet or so. The target market would be couples who had been together a long time and are tired of hearing the same story or joke over and over again when they visit friends. The receiver would be stuck under a watch dial or some other form of camouflage. The remote control would be similarly concealed. It would have to be versatile enough to put in different places so the listeners wouldn't know if it was being used.
Don't read this if you get queasy easy.
This idea would take a regular plunger and attach a modified version of a salad shooter (or mixer) to it. When turned on the blades of the salad shooter would descend from the bottom of the plunger that was sealing the opening and grind their way through whatever obstructions it encountered. The blades would be encased in a plastic expandable hose with rollers on the outside surface that keep pushing it forward. The whole contraption would be narrower than the drain channel. After snaking its way through the obstruction the plunger would open an intake valve and send a jet of water rushing from the toilet bowl down through the drain to clear out the debris. Once that process was completed you'd flush the toiled and the clean water would then be shot through the expandable hose to clear off any debris. With this taken care of the hose could retract itself back into the base of the plunger and the plunger could be set aside until the next time it was required.
Instead of having car alarms that go off whenever someone bumps into the car or a strong wind blows, why not have them go off when they sense the car has been put in motion. Ramping up the decibel level inside the car would give the thief a little extra trouble for the trouble he put you through. As long as you remember to de-activate the alarm before driving off yourself this solution shouldn't cause you any headaches.
Trying to back out of a parking space in a small car when you've got a van on one side and an SUV on the other can be a bit risky. You've got to get more than halfway out before you can see if cars are coming down the row towards you. An antenna mirror would solve this problem. It would consist of two parts - a single metal bar that could be hooked into the gaps formed by the edge of your trunk or tailgate, and a wireless antenna that could be raised or lowered from inside the car at the push of a button. Picture it as a periscope replaced by a telescoping antenna. At the top there would be a mirror-sized lense that had combined images coming from both sides of the mirror into a single image facing the driver. That way the driver could look into his rearview mirror and see a mirror facing him that showed traffic coming from both directions. A timer would also be included in the kit so that the antenna would automatically drop back down after about a minute (to keep you from forgetting about it and driving around with it still up).
Of course it would be easier if all parking lots put convex mirrors on their light poles but since we can't make them do that we should take care of the problem ourselves.
"Winter presents an interesting apparel challenge for those who want to play outside. Wear too many layers and you'll sweat; wear too little and you'll freeze your fanny. Lately, technology has offered up a solution: a paraffin-wax-like substance known as phase change material encapsulated in microscopic balls of heat-resistant plastic similar to that used in dishwasher-safe dinnerware. Coated onto fabrics, the phase change material melts and freezes before you do and, in the process, stores and expels heat energy. Clothing can now be engineered to respond to your body temperature -- and heat up or cool down to keep you feeling just right.
Phase change materials work because they are designed to maintain the midpoint of a narrow temperature range. One phase change material used in fleece jackets, for example, stays between about 27 °C and 38 °C when worn or around 32 °C, which feels comfortable next to the skin. The specific range is determined by the lengths of the hydrocarbon molecules that make up the material; in different proportions they specify different ranges."
The idea I'm suggesting here is really just an extended application - put these phase change materials in a blanket that's designed to keep you comfortable when you've got a fever. The way it is now, you toss the blanket off when it gets too hot and then have to hunt around for it later on when you start getting chills. If the temperature of the blanket went up and down to match your needs you wouldn't have to keep constantly waking up to adjust it.
A lawn mower with a container built in that you'd fill with pesticide/fertilizer. It'd spread the fertilizer over the lawn while you're mowing it. Kill two birds with one stone.
A battery-powered leak detection system... Would be used in things like window seals, containers, fridge/car door sales and welded joints. Could use an ultrasonic transmitter and receiver with LED level indicators and a way to adjust the sensitivity.
Solar-powered laptops and mobile phones you can recharge in the sunlight (and by plug). Don't know why we don't have these all over the place by now.
Handheld embroiderer so you can imprint name/initials on clothing. That can help keep clothes from being misplaced.
Massage shoes that massage your feet for you while you're walking or sitting down.
With adjustable heat levels in travel, twin, queen, full, and king sizes. Place it under the bedding cover. Could put your feet inside the double layers.

White House 'Social Media Summit' Invitee List Continues to Shrink
1 week ago Peter M. D'Abrosca
Cartoonist Ben Garrison was disinvited from the White House's Thursday "Social Media Summit" on Bit Tech censorship while some right-wing figures began to notice a trend: not many people who have actually been censored have been invited to the event.
"Have any of the people who got invited to the social media summit actually been censored by social media?" Paul Joseph Watson asked on Twitter.
Have any of the people who got invited to the social media summit actually been censored by social media? 🤔
— Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) July 10, 2019
While there are some invitees who have been censored – Project Veritas' James O'Keefe, whose video exposing Google's anti-Trump bias was removed by Google-owned YouTube being one them – the list includes such bland right-wing establishment organizations as the Heritage Foundation, PragerU, Turning Point USA, and the Media Research Center, none of whom have faced any significant censorship at all.
Among the uninvited are Laura Loomer, who was banned from Twitter in November and Facebook and Facebook-owned Instagram in May, Watson, who was banned from Facebook and Instagram on the same day as Loomer, Alex Jones, who has been banned from nearly every social media platform on earth, and Milo Yiannopuolos and Gavin McInnes, who are both banned from Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
All of the above-mentioned right-wing personalities helped to get Trump elected in the first place. Trump's was a revolution of people, not Washington, D.C. nonprofits. If Trump wants their support again in 2020, he must figure out a way for them to get their platforms back. What exactly will be discussed, and whether it will move the ball forward on ending Big Tech bias against conservatives, remains to be seen. Also important to note is that Facebook and Twitter were not invited to the summit.
But Loomer is pressing forward on her own.
She announced a lawsuit against Twitter and CAIR in May. Tuesday, she announced a $3 billion lawsuit against Facebook.
This site reported:
On Tuesday, Larry Klayman, the founder of Freedom Watch and a former federal prosecutor announced the filing of a defamation lawsuit by conservative investigative journalist Laura Loomer against Facebook. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida (Case No. 9:19-cv-80893), alleges that Facebook and its wholly owned sister company Instagram, in banning Ms. Loomer from the social media sites, maliciously defamed her by publishing that she is a "dangerous individual" and a domestic Jewish terrorist.

A newspaper reporter in Massachusetts resigned on Friday after falsely claiming in a tweet that the gunman who opened fire on a newsroom in Maryland a day earlier was wearing a hat bearing President Trump Donald John TrumpImpeachment? Not so fast without missing element of criminal intent Feds say marijuana ties could prevent immigrants from getting US citizenship Trump approval drops to 2019 low after Mueller report's release: poll MORE's campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again."
Conor Berry, a reporter at The Republican in Springfield, Mass., said on Twitter that his journalism career "came to a screeching halt" after the tweet on Thursday, and offered an apology to fellow reporters and Trump supporters.
"Folks, My 21-year career as a 'journalist,' a fancy term that makes my skin crawl, frankly, came to a screeching halt yesterday with one stupid, regrettable tweet," he wrote. "Can't take it back; wish I could. My sincere apologies to all good, hardworking reporters and to POTUS supporters."
In an excerpt from his resignation notice published on Friday by The Republican, Conor said that he was "ashamed" of his tweet, adding that it "taints the good work of fair-minded journalists everywhere."
Conor's initial Twitter post was quickly taken down after an editor at the newspaper became aware of it, The Republican reported.
Conor's initial tweet came after a gunman opened fire in the newsroom of the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Md., on Thursday, killing at least five people and leaving several others injured.
Police arrested the suspected shooter, who has since been identified as Jarrod Ramos, 38. Ramos previously sued the Capital Gazette for defamation in 2012, but the lawsuit was dismissed.
The Republican's executive editor Wayne Phaneuf said the current climate makes it more important than ever for journalists to report the news fairly and accurately.
"We need to be more vigilant than ever to be fair and accurate in a climate in which we are scrutinized and criticized," he said, according to The Republican. "The Republican newspaper and our partners at MassLive.com are committed to report the news with the truth paramount."

Q: How to leave trail in my sketch without deleting the background in p5js? I would like to leave line trails at each of the corners of the rectangles. I have tried createGraphics to add an extra canvas where I want to leave the trails but it's just doesn't work.
I purposefully rotate the rectangle with cosine. My assignment forbids to use the rotate function.

Thank you

A: I found some problems with your code. You can check here the solutions I found.
The fixes I needed to do where:

*

*To create a Graphic you should use createGraphics (you were using createCanvas instead).

*As you are translating the shape you draw on the canvas, you should also translate the trails themselves in the trails layer graphic.

*As you draw the trails, you should also use push() and pop() to save the settings of the graphic at each frame, so the translation doesn't accumulate from one frame to the others.

We were welcomed by HARCVS Chair, Jackie Snape, and delighted that the Mayor of Harrogate Borough, Cllr Anne Jones, and the Mayor of Knaresborough, Cllr David Goode, attended the event.
Our HARCVS Impact Report gives examples of how we have made a positive difference in Harrogate District over the last year.
Two trustees were re-elected to our Board. We are pleased Maurice Bull (Rotary Club of Harrogate) and Kevin Douglas (Harrogate & District Cycle Action) are serving a second term in office.
Karen Weaver, our Chief Executive, gave a presentation 'Getting Set for the Future' explaining how HARCVS was moving forward, building on our long history of connecting and collaborating locally across our district. HARCVS is working in partnership with Harrogate Borough Council and Two Ridings Community foundation developing THE LOCAL FUND for Harrogate District to support our local voluntary and community sector. THE LOCAL FUND will be targeted at local need, underpinned by evidence and research.
Frances Elliot, Head of Practical Support Services at HARCVS, explained how HELP provides support to help people live independently in their own homes. Notable achievements during the year included completing 383 gardening, decorating and DIY jobs for vulnerable local residents and providing over 7,000 journeys with two voluntary car driving services.
We were pleased to welcome Jan Garrill, Chief Executive of Two Ridings Community Foundation, and Cllr Richard Cooper, Leader of Harrogate Borough Council, as our guest speakers.
Jan gave a presentation explaining the impact of Two Ridings Community Foundation's work and how a 'Vital Signs' report for Harrogate District would help donors become aware of the real issues in the area and the power of local philanthropy to make a difference through supporting local charities. THE LOCAL FUND launching in 2018 would provide grants to support local community groups and charities and encourage local giving for local causes.
Cllr Richard Cooper said that Harrogate Borough Council shared values and priorities with HARCVS and our member charities to achieve vibrant communities. It was essential that partnership working continued. HARCVS provided valuable services and was the glue binding communities together. Harrogate Borough Council awarded £700,000 in local community grants every year and Cllr Cooper was excited about THE LOCAL FUND which would make additional resources available to local charities through dormant funds, local philanthropy and partnerships.
