Patrolling games were recently introduced by Alpern, Morton and Papadaki to model the problem of protecting the nodes of a network from an attack. Time is discrete and in each time unit the Patroller can stay at the same node or move to an adjacent node. The Attacker chooses when to attack and which node to attack, and needs m consecutive time units to carry it out. The Attacker wins if the Patroller does not visit the chosen node while it is being attacked; otherwise the Patroller wins. This paper studies the patrolling game where the network is a line graph of n nodes, which models the problem of guarding a channel or protecting a border from infiltration. We solve the patrolling game for any values of m and n, providing an optimal Patroller strategy, an optimal Attacker strategy and the value of the game (optimal probability that the attack is intercepted).


With a blend of compassion, determination, and strong organizational skills, social and human service assistants help a wide variety of people get the services they need. Social and human service assistants help clients obtain benefits and services in their community, and follow up to ensure services are in place. For example, they may connect families to food assistance or childcare, help immigrants enroll in language classes and job training, or help people leaving prison find jobs and housing. People in this field work under a variety of job titles, including case work aide, social work assistant or aide, counselor assistant, and human services worker. Typically with the supervision of a social worker or counselor, social and human service assistants serve many different clients such as veterans, the homeless, children and families, the elderly, and clients rehabilitating from addiction or injuries. They work in many types of organizations that provide social assistance programs, including: non-profits, social service agencies, government offices, hospitals, and shelters. Some may visit clients in the community. Most social and human service assistants work full time. They generally need at least a high school education, and may be required to have a certificate or associate's degree in a human services field. More education usually qualifies a candidate for higher-level work.

I believe kids are hardwired from birth to love rhythm and music. All young kids love listening to it, creating it, moving to it. Music is good for kids in so many ways: it engages them, calms them, gets them moving, and unites them. I think kids should be given tons of opportunities to experience live music—and hopefully take it up, because studying an instrument has incredible benefits for the body and the mind.
I believe kids need to move. A LOT. We all know exercise is good for us, but for kids—whose recesses are getting ever shorter—it's absolutely essential. Not only for physical health, but because it helps their brains focus so they can learn. A quick movement break in the middle of a class is ten times as effective as trying to verbally convince kids to stop fidgeting. And one of the simplest, most beneficial, non-competitive—yet very athletic—forms of exercise is yoga, which is why it's the focus of my movement programs. All kids can do yoga, even if they're challenged or impaired in some way; it benefits everyone, and it can be done anywhere. Yoga improves coordination and balance, and increases flexibility and strength, all while helping to improve kids' focus and concentration.
I believe that simple mindfulness practices are essential learning for our kids, who are growing up in a turbulent world. Their consumption of media is at an all-time high, and the pressures of school testing, packed schedules, and stressed-out adults around them can take their toll on children. And the more hours kids spend sitting, often in front of screens, the more disconnected they are from themselves. Simple—and fun—mindfulness exercises can help kids develop self-awareness, learn tools to recognize how they're feeling, and teach them how to pause before reacting. They can also help kids release anxiety, improve their ability to focus, and develop compassion and empathy for others. What more valuable skills can we give them?
All of these benefits add up to what professional educators call Social-Emotional Learning (SEL). In layman's terms, it's simply helping kids learn to self-regulate and make good choices. Music, movement and mindfulness are incredible vehicles for SEL. So this is what I believe, and this is why I do what I do. Who's with me?

Set in Princeton, N.J. in the mid-1950s, the scientific genius Albert Einstein is cast in the role of a most unlikely Cupid when his brainy niece, Catherine, becomes engaged to an equally scholarly but conniving psychologist. Foreseeing a bleak future for Catherine if she goes through with the marriage, Einstein decides to find his niece a new and truer love. Though Catherine is determined to marry a genius like her Uncle Albert, it is Ed, a grease monkey at the local garage, who strikes Einstein as his niece's proper match.

The purpose of Thermostatic Radiator Valves is to control the temperature of individual rooms, and when the room reach the required temperature the valve should shut off the heat from that radiator and allow the heat to go to other rooms. In most homes the problem is that only a couple of rooms, the first ones on the heating line switch off but the rest of the rooms do not reach the required temperature, therefore the Thermostatic Radiator Valve never switch off no matter how long you operate your heating for. In order to get all the Thermostatic Radiator Valves to operate efficiently, you need to have the top and bottom of the radiators heating. If the bottom section of some of your radiators are cold then your Thermostatic Valves will not function correctly.

agree with others that there seems to be an unbridgeable divide between those seeking to apply two competing principles to this agreement. Therefore, in the interest of moving forward, we will restrict our discussion to the topic of obligations stemming from the use of ocean resources in Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction (ABNJ).
subject to limitations and corresponding duties. This "right of access" is conditioned as a result of the use of the ocean space and resources. Various uses such as the general obligation for peaceful use, laying of submarine cables, the construction of artificial islands, fishing and scientific research are identified and subsequently qualified, subject to certain limitations and obligations. So regulating use and providing for responsibilities as well as rights are nothing new.
The practical reality is, however, that not all resources in the ocean are equal and not all human activity has the same impact on biodiversity. Some resources, such as minerals, have an immediate inherent value, or the human activity in using the resource creates such a negative impact on the environment that there is a depreciation value. Others, such as marine genetic resources (MGRs), only have potential value and no real value or impact at the time of extraction or use; therefore, there is no benefit to share. Because of these practical realities – and in the spirit of Norway's intervention, our delegation suggests that our analysis and our resulting agreement must be more nuanced than just identifying specific uses or ocean resources. We cannot have a successful, forward-looking regime without gaps if we focus solely on where resources are located, or what benefits States will enjoy as a result.
resources, and payments and obligations for that use. This proposed framework consists first of benefit sharing and, second, of Commercial Entitlement/Use Obligations. We have tried to fashion this analysis so that it can be applied, not only to MGRs, but to the use of all potential resources in ABNJ — for example, wind, tide, current, or geothermal renewable energies.
Fourth, the resource cannot be sustainably used.
resources covered by these provisions would qualify. If one of these thresholds is not met, however, then instead of "benefit sharing" – since there is no benefit – possible "commercial Entitlement/use Obligations" attach based on "utilization" of resources jointly owned by all States.

We note at the outset that these obligations will not apply to any activities that are associated with Marine Scientific Research as provided for in UNCLOS.

Free city bus service favoured
By Chris Morris
Free bus travel may soon be available in Dunedin.
A free central-city bus loop being considered by the Dunedin City Council as part of its 2019-20 annual plan has received overwhelming support.
At the public hearings on the plan held this week, those making submissions from a range of groups lent their support to the proposal.
Associate Prof Sandra Mandic, a senior lecturer in exercise science at the University of Otago, congratulated the council for its focus on improving public transport.
The proposal to introduce a new central city bus loop, and use rates to subsidise bus fares, dovetailed with a newly released report on active transport - including encouraging public transport - which Prof Mandic co-authored.
The report, recently released in Wellington, highlighted how transport choices were harming human health by contributing to the failure of half of New Zealanders to achieve minimum physical activity guidelines, she told councillors.
The council's proposals were ''on the right path'' and came as the Government also focused on initiatives to encourage walking, cycling and public transport, to deliver health and environmental benefits, she said.
Christine Kelle also wanted initiatives to encourage public transport, and suggested a ''semester ticket'' for students, allowing unlimited travel for a one-off charge on top of course fees.
It was the kind of system used in her home country, Germany, and could be a ''win-win'' that delivered ''critical mass'' to Dunedin's public transport system, she said.
The city should also look at monthly, weekly or daily passes to encourage bus use, she said.
''The whole community should see public transport as something everybody needs.''
Earlier this week, Liz Angelo, a co-founder of the City Rise Up community group, supported the idea of a central city bus loop but said it should be extended to include hill suburbs.
A route that also ran up past the Speight's brewery, through the ''Catholic zone'' and Town Belt to Moana Pool, and then back down to the University of Otago campus, would deliver additional benefits, she said.
It would be a ''tremendous asset'' for residents and tourists, some of whom already hiked up Dunedin's hill streets to view heritage buildings and the vista from the top, she said.
The service should have at least two buses operating on the route, preferably electric vehicles, she said.
''We've got to make it cheap, too. If it's more expensive to take a bus, they won't [use it]. They will take a car.''
Bus Users Support Group Otepoti-Dunedin co-president Peter Dowden said the group was in total support of the bus loop proposal and that its route should also include parts of hill suburbs.
Other locations such as the Otago Museum, the Dunedin Public Art Gallery and Central Library should also be included and it might be necessary to have two loops, or run the bus route in a figure-8 or pretzel shape, Mr Dowden said.
CSS Disability Action co-ordinator Mary O'Brien said a free inner-city bus loop would allow people who were unable walk from the bus hub to the centre of town or to the hospital to access those areas independently.

The Department of Interplanetary Matter studies minor bodies of the Solar System in particular meteoroids and asteroids. Attention is devoted to the study of the interactions of interplanetary bodies of different sizes with the Earth's atmosphere. Photometric studies of asteroids are also performed.
The group observes meteors and performs theoretical interpretations of the observations. The basic observational system is the European Fireball Network. Sensitive television cameras are used to observe faint meteors. We also participate in the project of new fireball network in Australia. The observational data are used to study physical processes during the penetration of meteoroids into planetary atmospheres, including radiation, ionization and meteoroid fragmentation. The physical properties and chemical composition of different types of meteoroids, their origin and distribution in the solar system and their relation to comets, asteroids and meteorites are being determined.
The main topic of the group is physical studies of asteroids, particularly their binary properties, rotations, and bulk properties. The main observational instrument is the 0.65 m telescope located at Ondřejov equipped with a CCD camera. The collaboration with observatories across the world provides us with data from a number of their instruments that allow us to get a much thorough understanding of the studied objects.

FRANKLIN PIERCE, president of the United States, is the son of Benjamin Pierce, who rose to the rank of brigade-major in the American army during the revolutionary war, and held several political offices in the state of New Hampshire. Franklin Pierce was born in the western part of that state, in the town of Hillsborough in 1804, and after completing his academical studies, entered Bowdoin college, Maine. Immediately on leaving college he commenced his legal studies with Judge Howe, of Northampton, Mass., but subsequently returned to his native state and, finally finished his studies at Amherst Mass. He was admitted to the bar and commenced the practice of his profession in his native town; but before the end of two years he was elected a representative in the state legislature, and during his second year's service was chosen speaker of the house. In 1833 he was elected to congress, and remained a member of the house of representatives for four years. During this period, General Pierce, although a firm supporter of democratic measures, seldom distinguished himself as a debater, being modest and unassuming in his character, and rather quick to hear and slow to speak. In 1837 he was elected a member of the United States senate, but, after five years' service in that body, resigned his seat, intending to devote himself wholly to his profession. He had been more than ten years in public life and he felt the necessity of giving his attention to his private affairs, which had suffered in his absence. He accordingly settled in Concord, the capital of his native state, and resumed his practice at the bar, with a firm resolution to be withdrawn for the future from public life. He rose to high distinction as an advocate, being considered one of the ablest lawyers in New Hampshire. He firmly adhered to his resolution of accepting no political office he declined to be a candidate for governor of the state, or United States senator, and he also refused the offices of attorney-general and secretary of war, which were tendered him by President Polk. On the breaking out of the Mexican war, however, General Pierce, deeming that his services were required in the cause of his country, enrolled himself as a private soldier in the New England regiment, but President Polk sent him a colonel's commission, and subsequently raised him to the rank of brigadier-general in March, 1847. His command consisted of 2,500 men, with whom he landed at Vera Cruz, June 28, 1847. He distinguished himself in most of the battles which were fought between Vera Cruz and the city of Mexico, and made himself highly popular with the men under his command. On the restoration of peace between the two countries, he resigned his commission, and returned home, where he met with a brilliant reception from his fellow-citizens. He was elected president of the United States in 1852.

Bell's Commentary
Layman's Bible Commentary
" GOING AND GROWING "
CONQUERING FOES (2 Samuel 5:0 )
The title of this lesson is the literal rendering of 2 Samuel 5:10 , "David went on and grew great." The margin reads, "going and growing."
First, he overcame the inhabitants of Jerusalem known as the Jebusites and, capturing the city, made it his capital (2 Samuel 5:6-9 ). The parallel passage in 1 Chronicles 11:4-9 will show the two accounts to complement and confirm one another, Samuel being the more biographic and analistic and Chronicles the more historical.
The reference to the "blind and the lame" may mean that the Jebusites felt themselves so strongly fortified on Mount Zion, that in derision they put such persons on the wall as defenders even then David could not take the citadel, they thought.
This is the first time Zion is referred to (2 Samuel 5:7 ), and it is well to identify it as the southwest hill of Jerusalem, the older and higher part of the city. It was here that later David brought the ark of the covenant, from which time the hill became sacred. After the building of the temple by Solomon on Mount Moriah, a different eminence, and the transfer of the ark thither, the name "Zion" was extended to comprehend it also (Isaiah 8:18 ; Joel 3:17 ; Micah 4:7 ). Often it is used, however, for the whole of Jerusalem (1 Kings 19:21 ), occasionally for the Jewish system of religion (Psalms 126:1 ), and once, at least, for heaven (Hebrews 12:22 ).
David next overcomes the Philistines (2 Samuel 5:17-25 ). Note the supernatural interposition in verses 23-24. "The sound of a going," means probably the sound of human steps as of an advancing army, the symbol of Jehovah's approach in power. "Thou shalt bestir thyself," means, "Rush quickly!"
So, victory comes from the Lord: (1) when it is humbly asked for according to His will and word; (2) when the battle is undertaken in His name and for His cause; and (3) when it is fought in obedience to His directions and guidance.
But observe, as Matthew Henry says, that "though God promises to go before them, yet David must bestir himself and be ready to pursue the victory.'' God's grace must quicken our endeavors (Philippians 2:12-13 ).
Broadus calls the chapter "King David's first year of sunshine." After years of darkness, he now gains a new crown, a new capital, a new palace, a new victory over an old enemy, and in them all a new proof of God's favor.
INSTALLING THE ARK (2 Samuel 6:0 )
The first attempt to bring up the ark is unsuccessful (2 Samuel 6:1-11 ) because of the sacrilegious act of Uzzah (Numbers 4:14-15 ; Numbers 7:9 ; Numbers 18:3 ); but the motive of David's heart was laudable, and unlike anything we read of Saul.
Baale of Judah is another name for Kirjath-jearim (1 Samuel 6:21 ; Joshua 15:60 ). The second attempt was successful (2 Samuel 6:11-19 ), because the Levitical law was obeyed (see 1 Chronicles 15:1-14 ), an incidental evidence that this law had been recorded, though overlooked. This, so far, answers the destructive criticism which would relegate the Pentateuch to a later period than David.
There may have been too much abandon in David's dancing (2 Samuel 6:16 ), but the spirit of Michal's criticism (2 Samuel 6:20 ) was not God-glorifying, for David's rebuke of her seemed to have the divine sanction (2 Samuel 6:23 ). See 1 Chronicles 16:0 , the psalm composed on this occasion.
THE MESSIANIC COVENANT (2 Samuel 7:0 )
We have here one of the most important chapters in the Old Testament, ranking in Messianic significance with Genesis 3:12 , 49, and Deuteronomy 18:0 . The seed of the woman, who was to come in the line of Abraham and Judah, is now seen to belong to the family of Jesse; and the prophet like unto Moses is to be also a king on the throne of his father David.
A great honor for David is now to be revealed. He has a lofty motive in desiring to build a temple for the ark, and Nathan, not taking counsel of the Lord, is disposed to favor it, until differently informed (2 Samuel 7:1-17 ).
In these words of the Lord by Nathan observe the promise of Israel's future prosperity and peace still future (2 Samuel 7:10-11 ). Observe further that the
house God promises to build for David (2 Samuel 7:11 ; 2 Samuel 7:13 ) is neither material nor spiritual, but political. It is a house in the sense of an earthly kingdom to be set up in his son. But clearly the son is not merely Solomon who immediately succeeded to the throne, but the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom, in a limited sense, Solomon is a type. The word "forever" in 2 Samuel 7:13 foreshadows this, but when 2 Samuel 7:14 is compared with Hebrews 1:8 , that settles it.
In this connection Bishop Horsley's and Adam Clarke's translation of the latter part of that verse is interesting and significant: "When iniquity is laid upon Him, I will chasten Him with the rod of men" a parallel to Isaiah 53:0 concerning the suffering Messiah.
David's adoration and thanksgiving at the revelation of this great truth is beautiful (2 Samuel 7:18-29 ). Its humility, faith, and gratitude reach a sublimity unequaled since Moses. He seemed to have recognized by faith the Messianic character of Nathan's words, if we may judge by Horsley's and Clarke's translation of verse 19: "O Lord God, Thou hast spoken of Thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me in the arrangement about the Man that is to be from above, O God, Jehovah."

In 2015, only 150 students graduated from the UK with degrees in Japanese, so anyone studying the subject will get a very rare qualification — so take that into consideration when drawing conclusions from the data above. This subject does seem to have a higher unemployment rate than the average, but this may be more to do with the very small number of graduates than any lack of demand for the degree. A third of graduates went to work abroad, and those working in the UK tended to be in London and in jobs in business and the media. Employers rate graduates who have more than one language, but you'll need to have them as part of a whole package of good skills.
This is not a particularly common subject at first degree level and most of the degrees that fall in this category are offered by the University of Durham.

Google exec suggests hardware partners need to improve lackluster Android tablets
Has the race for the lowest-priced tablet eroded quality?
Written by Sean Portnoy, Contributor
Sean Portnoy Contributor
Sean Portnoy started his tech writing career at ZDNet nearly a decade ago.
Posted in Laptops & Desktops on July 28, 2013 | Topic: Tablets
Google's release of the new Nexus 7 again highlights an area of concern for the overall Android ecosystem: That tablet's hardware seems to be well ahead of many of its competitors.
While you might think Google would be pleased with the competitive advantage, that doesn't appear to be the case, according to recent comments made by Google VP of Android product management Hugo Barra. Barra told The Verge that he is underwhelmed by the tablets that many other manufacturers have released using Google's Android OS: "I really do think that the Android ecosystem hasn't yet put its best foot forward, when it comes to tablets."
Of course, part of that comes with the territory, given that the operating system is free for any device maker to use with its hardware. That's led to sub-$100 (even sub-$50) bargain tablets from no-name vendors that can hype that they run the Jelly Bean flavor of Android, but rely on cheap processors, low-res screens, and other minimal specs to do it. One consequence is that tablet-optimized apps for Android are less prevalent than Barra (and users) would like.
The banner above shows a selection of such models available from Walmart.com, but even the Slate 7 offered from major manufacturer HP has been marred by substandard hardware used to keep its price down. In contrast, the latest Nexus 7 comes with a new quad-core Snapdragon processor, 2GB of memory (versus the Slate 7's 1GB), 16GB or 32GB of storage (the Slate 7 comes with 8GB), and a 1,920x1,200 resolution (compared to the Slate 7's 1,024x600). Yes, the 16GB Nexus 7 costs $90 more than the Slate 7, but delivers a much better user experience and is still $100 less than the Apple iPad Mini.
Of course, there are exceptions like Samsung's Galaxy tablets and the effort Amazon has made to spruce up its Kindle Fire tablets (even if it tries to disguise their Android underpinnings). But Apple, and even Microsoft for its Windows 8 tablets, retain more quality control over the hardware that powers their operating systems, which has forced Google to lead by example (and resort to using a bully pulpit) in order to push its fellow Android partners to focus on a more polished product, rather than just a cheaper one.
The spec trickle-down should be expected as higher-res screens and more capable mobile processors become more widely available at lower prices. In the meantime, do you agree with Barra that the Android tablet experience is less than what it could be? What would it take to improve it? Let us know your thoughts in the Talkback section below.

London Surgeon Reveals Extent of City's Surging Gun Crime Problem
Virginia Hale
A major London hospital has seen the number of gunshot injuries rise faster than knife wounds, and the average age of victims get younger as the city battles a surge in violent crime, a consultant trauma surgeon has revealed.
Martin Griffiths said medics at the Royal London Hospital expect to treat between 50 and 60 victims of gun crime in 2017, reporting that the Whitechapel hospital has seen: "Year on year … a 20 to 30 per cent rise in the past two or three years.
The change comes despite private ownership of guns being practically illegal for most city dwellers in the United Kingdom, with only hunting rifles and shotguns available to a small minority, and predominantly in rural areas.
According to the Evening Standard, the vascular and trauma surgeon told a meeting held by the London Assembly Police and Crime Committee on Thursday how the average age of patients with gunshot wounds has decreased to the mid to late teens, from 25 in 2012.
Weapon of choice for London's gangs https://t.co/xZT2nIx3Eh
— Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) May 13, 2017
Talking about gunshot injuries with "at-risk" youths, and introducing them to victims could help prevent gun crime, according to the doctor, who visits schools in his spare time to "de-glamourise" injuries associated with gang violence.
Dr Griffiths explained: "When you talk to people about knife and gun injury, they think they're going to either be alive and fine or dead but they are very concerned about cosmetic injuries about colostomy bags about smelling bad, about being disfigured and about being disabled and those are much more horrific than being alive or dead.
"I think meeting a gun victim who has been disabled is much more of a powerful stimulus for change, he added.
Noting that the majority of gun crime victims are keen to retaliate, Dr Griffiths said that key to stopping the cycle of violence is working with "communities", and financing programmes.

Also speaking at the event was Metropolitan Police commander Jim Stokley, who told the meeting that just under half of gun crime discharges in London were gang-related, with handguns and shotguns the most commonly seen firearms.
He said: "We believe that a lot of it is associated with the drugs trade, and by that, I mean people dealing drugs at street level and disagreements between different gangs."
In April it was revealed that gun crime offences in London in 2016/2017 surged 42 per cent from the previous year while knife crime rose by 24 per cent, after Prime Minister Theresa May kerbed police use of stop and search — a tactic bemoaned as "racist" by activists, but which senior officers insist saves black lives.

Overdue decision makes polar bears a "threatened species"
The polar bear made it onto the U.S. endangered species list May 14 with an unusual flurry of administrative guidance, rule making and grumbling.
The species will be classified as "threatened" because its Arctic ice habitat is melting, said Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne at a press conference. He noted that last summer the Arctic ice cover shrank to the skimpiest remnant on record and that computer analyses predict even more drastic melting ahead.


Have Wheelchair – Will Travel!
Kathleen Collis can only walk a few steps. But nothing was going to stop her from visiting her son in the Amazon jungle.
Kathleen Collis was 72 years old at that time and for 16 years she had been in a wheelchair. Her son Mick moved to Iquitos Peru in 1998 and she missed him very much.
Touching down at Iquitos airport they were greeted by some school children from a local school singing the national song accompanied by a brass band. The children held posters saying "Welcome Momma Kath and Pappa George", and they were presented with flowers.
Every day of their three-week holiday Kath was busy making new friends. A school teacher at a local school called Doris Padilla Vargas, took her out every day, and Kath and George joined the children on a picnic, enjoyed trips to the Plaza de Armas, walks along the riverfront boulevard and she was even invited to a wedding.
Kath also swam regularly in El Dorado Plaza Hotel pool. "I had to buy a swimming costume because I hadn't swum for years. I just crawled on my knees – my way of getting about – to the edge of the pool, put my hands over my head and in I went, I did two lengths and the waiters all cheered!" Swimming was a welcome relief from the heat, as the temperature was often over 80 degrees, rising to as much as a 100, although the frequent heavy thunderstorms helped to cool things down for a while.
The next day we travelled up the Amazon River to a lodge called Refugio Altiplano near the village of Tamshiyacu. The owner Scott Peterson is a friend of Mick's and allowed us to stay there overnight. "We slept in a very basic wooden bungalow, with just a hard bed and a mosquito net. I wasn't very well in the evening, probably because of the journey and the heat. Our meal was cooked over an open fire, but when I looked at the plate of bananas and eggs – and a mug of black coffee-I just couldn't face it".
Another memorable moment was a trip to a local day center for poor children. They call them wawawasis. This one was run by an American called Leo Jones and is called "Los Ninos de Leo". Kath and George donated 200 english pounds which was raised by Mick's daughter Helen earlier that year when she took part in the first River Amazon Raft Race. Mick is well known back in Herefordshire, England as the organizer of the River Wye 100 Mile Raft Race which has now been going for 38 years. When Mick came to live in Iquitos he started The Great River Amazon Raft Race which is now in its 13th year.

Q: How do I Highlight a area with Google Maps JavaScript API v3 in asp.net MVC, I have only Lat and Lang.? this is the highlighted region
I want to highlight a area like on the image below which is taken from Google Maps. Is this possible to accomplish with the current version of their API (v3)? If yes, how

A: You might use html / javascript to do it.
In html you have the <area> tag which you can drawn a polygon indicating some coords with the benefits of easy html markup. Find more info here.
You may find this JavaScript plugin usefull too, particularly its stroke settings.
But, maybe, the easiest way is to edit image with your favorite photo editor and then, after done, add any behaviours you might need.
If you could try to be more specific on your actuall needs, we could try to help you better! :)

The Edinburgh Review: Or Critical Journal, Volume 51
not of intuition, but of one sole purpose, and of a determined will operating on a clear and consecutive understanding. His Caleb Williams is the illustration of a single passion ; his Political Justice is the insisting on a single proposition or view of a subject. In both, there is the same pertinacity and unity of design, the same agglomeration of objects round a centre, the same aggrandizement of some one thing at the expense of every other, the same sagacity in discovering what makes for its purpose, and blindness to every thing but that. His genius is not dramatic; but it has something of an heroic cast : he gains new trophies in intellect, as the conqueror overruns new provinces and kingdoms, by patience and boldness; and he is great because he wills to be 60.
We have said that Mr Godwin has shown great versatility of talent in his different works. The works themselves have considerable monotony; and this must be the case, since they are all bottomed on nearly the same principle of an uniform keeping and strict totality of impression. We do not hold with the doctrines or philosophy of the Enquiry concerning Political Justice ; but we should be dishonest to deny that it is an ingenious and splendid-and we may also add, useful piece of sophistical declamation. If Mr Godwin is not right, he has shown what is wrong in the view of morality he advocates, by carrying it to the utmost extent with unflinching spirit and ability.
Mr Godwin was the first whole-length broacher of the doctrine of Utility. He took the whole duty of man-all other passions, affections, rules, weaknesses, oaths, gratitude, promises, friendship, natural piety, patriotism,-infused them in the glowing cauldron of universal benevolence, and ground them into powder under the unsparing weight of the convictions of the individual understanding. The entire and complicated mass and texture of human society and feeling was to pass through the furnace of this new philosophy, and to come out renovated and changed without a trace of its former Gothic ornaments, fantastic disproportions, embossing, or relief. It was as if an angel had descended from another sphere to promulgate a new code of morality; and who, clad in a panoply of light and truth, unconscious alike of the artificial strength and inherent weakness of man's nature, supposing him to bave nothing to do with the flesh, the world, or the Devil,- should lay down a set of laws and principles of action for him, as if he were a pure spirit. But such a mere abstracted intelligence would not require any rules or forms to guide his conduct or prompt his volitions. And this is the effect of Mr Godwin's book to absolve a rational and voluntary
agent from all ties, but a conformity to the independent dictates and strict obligations of the understanding :
• Within his bosom reigns another lord,
Reason, sole judge and umpire of itself. We own that if man were this pure, abstracted essence,-if he had not senses, passions, prejudices,-if custom, will, imagination, example, opinion, were nothing, and reason were all in all ;-if the author, in a word, could cstablish as the foundation, what he assumes as the result of his system, namely, the omni. potence of mind over matter, and the triumph of truth over every warped and partial bias of the heart—then we see no ebjection to his scheme taking place, and no possibility of any other having ever been substituted for it. But this would imply that the mind's eye can see an object equally well whether it is near or a thousand miles off,—that we can take an interest in the people in the moon, or in ages yet unborn, as if they were our own flesh and blood,—that we can sympathize with a perfect stranger, as with our dearest friend, at a moment's notice,—that habit is not an ingredient in the growth of affection,—that no check need be provided against the strong bias of self-love,—that we can achieve any art or accomplishment by a volition, master all knowledge with a thought; and that in this well-disciplined intuition and faultless transparency of soul, we can take cogni. zance (without presumption and without mistake) of all causes and consequences,-establish an equal and impartial interest in the chain of created beings,-discard all petty feelings and minor claims,-throw down the obstructions and stumbling-blocks in the way of these grand cosmopolite views of disinterested phi. lanthropy, and hold the balance even between ourselves and the universe. It were a consummation devoutly to be wished ;' and Mr Godwin is not to be taxed with blame for having boldly and ardently aspired to it. We meet bim on the ground, not of the desirable, but the practicable. It were better that a mau were an angel or a god than what he is; but he can neither be one nor the other. Enclosed in the shell of self, he sees a little way beyond himself, and feels what concerns others still more slowly. To require him to attain the highest point of perfection, is to Aling him back to grovel in the mire of sensuality and selfishness. He must get on by the use and management of the faculties which God has given him, and not by striking more than one half of these with the dead palsy. To refuse to avail ourselves of mixed motives and imperfect obligations, in a creature like man, whose' very name is frailty,' and who is a compound of contradictions, is to lose the substance in
catching at the shadow. It is as if a man would be enabled to fly by cutting off his legs. If we are not allowed to love our neighbour better than a stranger, that is, if habit and sympathy are to make no part of our affections, the consequence will be, not that we shall love a stranger more, but that we shall love our neighbour less, and care about nobody but ourselves. These partial and personal attachments are the scale ! by which wo ascend' to sentiments of general pbilanthropy. Are we to act upon pure speculation, without knowing the circumstances of the case, or even the parties ?--for it would come to tbat. If we act from a knowledge of these, and bend all our thoughts and efforts to alleviate some immediate distress, are we to take no more interest in it than in a case of merely possible and contingent suffering ? This is to put the known upon a level with the unknown, the real with the imaginary. It is to say that habit, sense, sympathy, are non-entities. It is a contradiction in terms. But if man were such a being as Mr Godwin supposes, that is, a perfect intelligence, there would be no contradiction in it; for then he would have the same knowledge of whatever was possible, as of his gross and actual experience, and would feel the same interest in it, and act with the same energy and certainty upon a sheer bypothesis, as now upon a matter of fact. We can look at the clouds, but we cannot stand upon them. Mr Godwin takes one element of the human mind, the understanding, and makes it the whole ; and hence he falls into solecisms and extravagancies, the more striking and fatal in proportion to his own acuteness of reasoning, and honesty of intention. He has, however, the merit of having been the first to show up the abstract, or Utilitarian, system of morality in its fullest extent, whatever may have been pretended to the contrary; and those who wish to study the question, and not to take it for granted, cannot do bet. ter than refer to the first edition of the Enquiry concerning Political Justice ; for afterwards Mr Godwin, out of complaisance to the public, qualified, and in some degree neutralized, his own doctrines.
Our author, not contented with his ethical honours, (for no work of the kind could produce a stronger sensation, or gain more converts than this did at the time,) determined to enter upon a new career, and fling him into the arena once more; thus challenging public opinion with singular magnanimity and confidence in himself. He did not stand shivering on the brink of his just-acquired reputation, and fear to tempt the perilous stream of popular favour again. The success of Caleb Williams justified the experiment. There was the same hardihood and
As nove the stan Times in
gallantry of appeal in both. In the former case, the author had screwed himself up to the most rigid logic; in the latter, he gave unbounded scope to the suggestions of fancy. It cannot be denied that Mr Godwin is, in the pugilistic phrase, an out-and-outer. He does not stop till he reaches the verge of all we hate :' is it to be wondered if he sometimes falls over? He certainly did not do this in Caleb Williams or St Leon. Both were eminently successful; and both, as we conceive, treated of subjects congenial to Mr Godwin's mind. The one, in the character of Falkland, embodies that love of fame and passionate respect for intellectual excellence, which is a cherished inmate of the author's bosom; (the desire of undying renown breathes through every page and line of the story, and sheds its lurid light over the close, as it has been said that the genius of war blazes through the Iliad ;)-in the hero of the other, St Leon, Mr Godwin has depicted, as well he might, the feelings and habits of a solitary recluse, placed in new and imaginary situations : but from the philosophical to the romantic visionary, there was perhaps but one step. We give the decided preference to Caleb Williams over St Leon; but if it is more original and interesting, the other is more imposing and eloquent. In the suffering and dying Falkland, we feel the heart-strings of our human being break; in the other work, we are transported to a state of fabulous existence, but unfolded with ample and gorgeous circumstances. The palm-tree waves over the untrodden path of luxuriant fiction; we tread with tiptoc elevation and throbbing heart the high hill-tops of boundless existence; and the dawn of hope and renovated life makes strange music in our breast, like the strings of Memnon's harp, touched by the morning's sun. After these two works, he fell off; he could not sustain himself at that height by the force of genius alone, and Mr Godwin has unfortunately no resources but his genius. He has no Edie Ochiltree at his elbow. His New Man of Feeling we forget; though we well remember the old one by our Scottish Addison, Mackenzie. Mandeville, which followed, is morbid and disagreeable; it is a description of a man and his ill-humour, carried to a degree of derangement. The reader is left far behind. Mr Godwin has attempted two plays, neither of wbich has succeeded, nor could succeed. If a tragedy consisted of a series of soliloquies, nobody could write it better than our author. But the essence of the drama depends on the alternation and conflict of different passions, and Mr Godwin's forte is harping on the same string. He is a reformist, both as it regards the world and himself. If he is told of a fault, he amends it if he can. His Life of Chaucer was objected to as too romantic and dashing; and in his late History of the Commons wealth, he has gone into an excess the other way. His style creeps, and hitches in dates and authorities. We must not omit his Lives of Edward and John Phillips, the nephews of Milton -an interesting contribution to literary history; and his 06servations on Judge Eyre's Charge to the Jury in 1794,-one of the most acute and seasonable political pamphlets that ever appeared. He some years ago wrote an Essay on Sepulchres, which contained an idle project enough, but was enriched with some beautiful reflections on old and new countries, and on the memorials of posthumous fame. It is a singular circumstance that our author should maintain for twenty years, that Mr Malthus's theory (in opposition to his own) was unanswerable, and then write an answer to it, which did not much mend the matter. It is worth knowing (in order to trace the history and progress of the intellectual character) that the author of Political Justice and Caleb Williams commenced his career as a dissenting clergyman; and the book-stalls sometimes present a volume of Sermons by him, and we believe, an English Grammar.
We cannot tell whether Mr Godwin will have reason to be pleased with our opinion of him; at least, he may depend on our sincerity, and will know what it is.

Q: what is the codec for mp4 videos in python OpenCV fourcc = cv2.cv.CV_FOURCC(*'XVID')

The above line is used for avi video.  In the same fashion, which codec do we use for mp4 videos in Ubuntu?

A: fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc('m','p','4','v')

Always seems to work.

A: You can also use mp4v
fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'mp4v')

where the videowriter should look like this:
out = cv2.VideoWriter('output.mp4',fourcc, 15, size)

But there are more codecs available for mp4. You can see the list of them by setting fourcc = -1, it will show a list like this:
OpenCV: FFMPEG: format mp4 / MP4 (MPEG-4 Part 14)
fourcc tag 0x7634706d/'mp4v' codec_id 000C
fourcc tag 0x31637661/'avc1' codec_id 001B
fourcc tag 0x33637661/'avc3' codec_id 001B
fourcc tag 0x31766568/'hev1' codec_id 00AD
fourcc tag 0x31637668/'hvc1' codec_id 00AD
fourcc tag 0x7634706d/'mp4v' codec_id 0002
fourcc tag 0x7634706d/'mp4v' codec_id 0001
fourcc tag 0x7634706d/'mp4v' codec_id 0007
fourcc tag 0x7634706d/'mp4v' codec_id 003D
....

All of them supports mp4 but h264 is supported by Web browsers if you want to serve the video into the web.

A: The codec is H.264.
One of these should work for you:
fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'h264')
#or
#fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'x264')
#or
#fourcc = cv2.VideoWriter_fourcc(*'mp4v')

However, I should warn you that you'll probably need to have ffmpeg and the x264 libraries installed so since you are in Ubuntu, try doing this command in the terminal:
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg x264 libx264-dev

Also, check out this link from OpenCV tutorials for more details as to the kinds of FourCC codes available for your platform.
In the above link, it says X264 is the FourCC code you should use, but switch between them until you get it to work.

A: This is an old question. But, if anyone is facing an issue lately using the codec who can't get a saved video. They can use 0X00000021 as the codec value for OpenCV 3 and later.

A: I had to reinstall ffmpeg and compile opencv from source in order to get this working. I documented the steps in this blog post.

The popular hairstyle among the brides is an up-do or an up-sweep that can be a French twist, elaborate braids, a bun and a low ponytail. The bride with short hair should try light curls or waves and the one with long hair can opt flowing curls. If one wish to wear the hair down then use a hair clip and pull part of hair back off your face. This idea goes well if she wears a long veil or a crown of flowers.


The mobile world has spent the past 7 years finding solutions to the capacity crunch. A range of new technology and spectrum bands are on their way. The new intellectual challenge for the next 7 years will be a "coverage crunch". It has become a three layered problem. There is the basic level of simply getting a signal. One would have thought this would have been solved long ago. After all we've had 30 years of cellular radio. However today we find there are reasons why effective coverage is becoming progressively worse. The second layer of the problem is the "coverage of capacity". Almost all of the new spectrum bands have poor propagation characteristics and the new technologies are also poor at spreading the enhanced capacity over wide areas. The third layer of the problem is the coverage of dependable connectivity needed as our digital life becomes ever more essential. This coverage challenge is a combination of the other two factors ie enough signal and enough capacity at the instant it is needed.
The first wave of cellular radio had an enormous competitive energy behind extending coverage of not just cities and towns but where people took their holidays and leisure. Mobile phones also had very high performing RF front ends and aerials that off-set, to the extent possible, the relative few base station sites of the initial roll-out. Today the RF performances of mobile links are being decimated by adverse things happening systematically at both ends of the wireless connection. At the base station end UK local planning authorities have imposed mast height limits so that unsightly mast structures can be shielded by nearby trees without realising that these very same trees are also shielding people from getting better mobile signals. Further, trees grow taller every year but radio masts don't. At the mobile phone end there has been a runaway world of every more spectrum bands being released needing ever more antenna to be packed in a shrinking internal volume of a mobile phone. The mobile's RF performance has correspondingly degraded.
A factor of over 100 has been probably been taken out of link budgets over the past 15 years. In dense urban areas it has been economically possible to install a a very large number of additional cells for capacity reasons but also hugely beneficial for coverage. This has masked the deteriorating wireless link performance for many consumers. That has not happened to any great extent over the rest of the country. Added to this are some modern building materials (foil backed insulation and coated glass) that is leading to weaker indoor mobile coverage. For all these reasons effective mobile coverage is getting worse over large parts of the country and consumers are noticing it.
The second wave of coverage problem is being pulled along behind the solutions emerging to address the capacity crunch. Spectrum above 2 GHz is relatively plentiful but has poor radio wave propagation. 4G technology offers stellar capacity close to the radio masts but performs poorly at the cell outer rim in busy periods. For fully loaded cells massive data sink holes can open-up in this outer cell coverage rim.
In dense urban areas small cells can be located at these macro-cell boundary edges to boost local capacity and relieve the capacity pressure on the wide area cells. Outside of dense urban areas, where it is not economic to deploy small cells in large numbers, there will be a growing "coverage of capacity" problem. The trend towards mast site sharing means that all the mobile operators' cell edges are being aligned on the same hapless customers.
The third wave of coverage problem arises from some potentially important applications demanding dependable wireless connectivity. E-health, driverless cars, some IoT applications could all grow on the back of really reliable wide area mobile wireless coverage but the trends currently playing out make these prospects unlikely.
The coverage of dependable connectivity needs a specific focus in its own right over the areas of interest eg roads.
(1) Some of the solutions are beyond the reach of a single mobile network operator to implement on their own.
(2) The Internet based digital economy breaks the link between investment in mobile network infrastructure and "over the top" service revenues – so investment to solve coverage issues is lacking a financial input from the "service level". In addition competitive pressure to extend coverage has become weaker as mobile operators find themselves more and more sharing the same masts.
(3) Nobody has really taken overall ownership of the entire canvass of coverage issues. We lack an overall plan of action and that includes the research community.
The mobile community (operators, industry, regulators and the research community) have been very effective in pulling together solutions to address the capacity crunch. There are enough lined up on the run-way to keep everyone busy for the next 10-15 years implementing them. It is time the same resolve and collective intellectual energy to be applied to the coming "Coverage crunch". The University of Surrey 5G Innovation Centre will shortly be publishing a White Paper on Rural 5G that hopefully will find some traction within the research community.

Can it be true!? I made it to 29 projects...only 9 months after my 29th birthday!
I was inspired by a pom pom wreath I saw on this ladies Instagram and thought...I'm making me one of those.
This was a super easy and enjoyable project...it took a little bit of time making the pom poms but if you stick on your favourite Christmas movie and make them while you are watching that, you're done in no time at all. I used whatever yarn I already had in my stash and then tired the pom poms to a piece of circular plastic I cut. (The plastic I had from a print I had received in the post).
Christmas blessings to you and yours. Thank you for stopping by this little part of the internet, every comment means a lot. Especially after the sadness we have experienced this year. It's meant a lot to know you've been keeping us in your thoughts.


A special thank you to Rocodimarco (and all the others authors as well ;), hope there will be a .vpx conversion for this table !
As usual rename the B2S file exactly like your table name and paste it in the VP table directory.
1.0.1 I built this B2S thinking that the table was in VPX version then I noticed that it was for VP9 and I no longer have VP9 in my pincab so I couldn't test this B2S before posting it.
Previous version had I think an B2S Designer export problem...(really sorry) new v 1.0.1 updated, tested and functionnal.

DPA Architects have been appointed by the Christchurch Anglican Church Property Trustees to oversee the restoration and structural upgrading of some 20 heritage churches in the Christchurch region following the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes.
St Paul's Church, Papanui, involved the restoration and structural upgrading of one of Christchurch's significant heritage churches. St Paul's dates from 1887 and was designed by the pre-eminent Christchurch Gothic Revival architect, Benjamin Mountfort.
Work included restoration of interior timber work, re-roofing including laying timber shingles on the tower and providing disabled access and facilities. The project was the recipient of a Christchurch Civic Trust restoration award in 2013.
St Saviours Church (above) was relocated from Christchurch to a site in Lyttelton previously occupied by Holy Trinity Church. DPA Architects was commissioned to prepare a conservation plan for the building and was extensively involved in the restoration of the building following the Canterbury earthquakes. The project was the recipient of a Christchurch Civic Trust Award in 2015.
The foundation stone for St Barnabas Anglican Church, Fendalton (below) was laid in 1925 by Archbishop Julius. The stone church is the largest of Cecil Wood's Arts and Crafts Churches. Carvings by Frederick Gurnsey are also included in the church.
The church sustained moderate damage in the Christchurch earthquakes. DPA Architects was commissioned to prepare a conservation plan for the building and was extensively involved in the restoration and structural upgrading of the building.
The work was proposed in three separate parcels; the earthquake damage repairs to the building, strengthening of the building to 67% of NBS, and carrying out deferred maintenance. Fire sprinkler and alarm systems were also installed as part of the works.
