Meine brillante Karriere (Originaltitel: My Brilliant Career) ist ein australisches Filmdrama von 1979 unter der Regie von Gillian Armstrong. Judy Davis spielt eine junge Frau Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts in Australien, die zwischen Ehe und Unabhängigkeit wählen muss. Sie entscheidet sich, ihren Traum, Schriftstellerin zu werden, zu verwirklichen. Sam Neill verkörpert den Mann, der sie heiraten möchte.

Das Drehbuch beruht auf Miles Franklins erstem semi-biografischen Roman, den sie im Alter von 20 Jahren schrieb, und der 1901 veröffentlicht wurde.

Handlung
Sybylla Melvyn, Tochter eines verarmten Bauern, möchte gern auf eigenen Füßen stehen und ihren Traum verwirklichen, Schriftstellerin zu werden. Sie muss gegen die herrschenden Konventionen Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts ankämpfen, die für Frauen eher eine Ehe oder einen dienenden Beruf vorsehen. Ihre Karrierepläne halten Sybylla jedoch nicht davon ab, eine Stellung als Haushälterin bei einem Nachbarn anzunehmen, dem ihr Vater Geld schuldet.

Vorübergehend lebt Sybylla bei ihrer Großmutter und ihrer Tante Helen Bossier, die sie zu deren Bestürzung wissen lässt, dass sie niemals heiraten werde, sondern ganz andere Pläne habe. Die hübsche, selbstbewusste Frau weckt das Interesse zahlreicher Männer. So möchte der unbeholfene Engländer Frank Hawdon, der seit drei Monaten in Australien ist, dass sie ihn als seine Ehefrau zurück in seine Heimat begleitet. Auch der gutaussehende Großgrundbesitzer Harry Beecham zeigt großes Interesse an Sybylla und sie fühlt sich ebenfalls von ihm angezogen. Letztendlich gibt Sybylla aber ihren Traum nicht auf, sie heiratet Beecham nicht, und macht ihren Traum von einer Karriere als Schriftstellerin wahr, indem sie ein Buch schreibt.

Produktion und Hintergrund
Die Filmaufnahmen entstanden in Camden Park House, Wollondilly Shire, Ortsteil Menangle in New South Wales, einem Bundesstaat im Südosten Australiens. Produktionsfirma war die New Youth Wales Film Corporation/GUO/Analysis, Margaret Fink Productions.

Miles Franklin schrieb mehrere Romane und veröffentlichte 1946 eine Fortsetzung der Geschichte unter dem Titel My Career Goes Bung. My Brilliant Career blieb jedoch ihr erfolgreichstes  und beliebtestes Buch.

Der Film war in Australien sehr erfolgreich, auch wenn er von der Australian Film Development Corporation dreimal abgelehnt worden war. Die Corporation war der Ansicht, dass der Film an der Kinokasse scheitern würde, da es so etwas wie ein Happyend nicht gebe. Fink und Armstrong hatten sich insoweit geweigert, nachzugeben. Ein Teil des Erfolgs wird Davis' "wunderbarer Leistung" in ihrer Rolle zugeschrieben. Judy Davis war zur Zeit des Drehs 24 Jahre alt und hatte ihre Schauspielausbildung am National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney gerade abgeschlossen. Mit ihren wilden roten Haaren und Sommersprossen und dem blassen Teint ist Davis eine schöne Sybylla. Judy Davis spielte die Klaviersoli selbst, so übt sie beispielsweise am Klavier die Kinderszenen von Robert Schumann.

Der Film wurde im Mai 1979 auf dem Filmfestival in Cannes in Frankreich vorgestellt. In Australien lief er am 17. August 1979 unter dem Originaltitel My Brilliant Career an. In den USA wurde er erstmals am 6. Oktober 1979 auf dem New York Film Festival gezeigt. Am 1. Februar 1980 lief er dann in den USA in ausgewählten Kinos an. In der Bundesrepublik Deutschland lief der Film nicht im Kino, sondern wurde als Erstausstrahlung unter dem Titel Meine brillante Karriere am 14. November 1980 im ZDF gesendet. Am 28. November 1989 erschien der Film in einer deutsch synchronisierten Fassung auf Video.

Kritik
Stephanie Zacharek sprach davon, dass die Filmversion des 1901 veröffentlichten, damals revolutionären Romans von Miles Franklin, auch im Jahr 1979 in der Film-Version "noch revolutionär in ihrer ruhigen Art und Weise" sei. Es sei selten, dass Filme, australische oder auch andere, in Schlüsselpositionen fast ausschließlich von Frauen besetzt seien. Auch der Kritiker Gary Gouzens wies darauf hin, dass der Film nicht nur von einer Frau geleitet und produziert worden sei, die Vorlage ebenso wie das Drehbuch von einer Frau stamme und weitere wichtige Positionen von Frauen besetzt seien. Gelobt wurde auch die "hervorragende Kameraarbeit" von Donald McAlpine. My Brilliant Career sei ein Film über die Erkundung der Möglichkeiten, die das Leben biete, anstatt das Leben einfach nur geschehen zu lassen.

Janet Maslin schrieb in der New York Times, dass Judy Davis eine unkonventionelle Art habe, die Szenen zu spielen, und ihre Vitalität belebend sei. Ihre Sybylla sei einerseits ein verspieltes Wesen, andererseits schaffe sie ein fröhliches Chaos, wo immer sie sei. Weiter war Maslin der Ansicht, dass eine der Stärken des Films seine Lebendigkeit sei. McAlpine habe zudem einen Blick fürs Bild und die robuste Schönheit der Landschaft sehr gut eingefangen.

Das Lexikon des internationalen Films beurteilte den Film äußerst positiv und schrieb: "Einfühlsame Schilderung einer Selbstfindung, glänzend gespielt und hervorragend fotografiert, stimmig in Atmosphäre wie Milieuschilderung."

Lesson 4: Crowd Psychology: Following the Sheep to Slaughter
In our last lesson we looked at two of the most common mistakes that traders make when entering the market, sticking with a trade where the market moves against the trader but he knows he is right, and altering a trading plan on the fly as a result of missed opportunities. In today's lesson we are going to look at another aspect of trading psychology that causes many traders to fail which is known as crowd psychology.
The best summary that I have seen on this subject, as well as a great book on trading in general is Dr. Alexander Elder's book Trading for a living. As the Trader and Psychologist points out in his book, people think differently when acting as part of a crowd than they do when acting alone. Dr Elder points out that
"People change when they join crowds. They become more credulous, impulsive, anxiously search for a leader, and react to emotions instead of using their intellect."
In his book Dr. Elder gives several examples of academic studies which have been done which show that people have trouble doing simple tasks such as choosing which line is longer than the other when put in a situation with other people who were instructed to give the wrong answer.
Perhaps no where is the strange effect is the psychology of crowds seen than in the financial markets. One of the more recent examples as I have spoken about in my other lessons of the effect that the psychology of crowds can have on the markets is the run-up of the NASDAQ into 2000. As you will find by pulling out the history books however, this is not an isolated incident as financial history is littered with similar price bubbles created and then destroyed in the same way as the NASDAQ bubble was.
So why does history continue to repeat itself? As Dr. Elder points out in his book, from a primitive standpoint chances of survival are often much higher as part of a group than they are alone. Similarly war's are often one by militaries with the strongest leaders. It is thus only natural to think that humans desire to survive would breed a desire to be part of a group with a strong leader into the human psyche.
So how does this relate to trading? Well as we learned in our lessons on Dow Theory, the price is representative of the crowd and the trend is representative of the leader of that crowd. With this in mind think about how difficult it would have been to short the NASDAQ at the high's in 2000, just at the height of the frenzy when everyone else was buying. In hindsight you would have ended up with a very profitable trade but, had the trade not worked out, people would have asked how could you have been so dumb to sell when everyone else knew the market was going up?
Now think about all the people who held on to their positions and lost tons of money after the bubble burst in 2000. As they had lots of company there were probably not a whole lot of people who were laughing at them. Yes they were wrong but how could they have known when so many others were wrong too?
By looking at this same example, you can also see how panic selling often ensues after sharp trends in the market as this is representative to a crowd whose leader has abandoned them.
In order to trade successfully people need a trading plan which is designed before entering a trade and becoming part of the crowd so they can fall back on their plan when the emotions which are associated with being part of a crowd inevitably arise. Successful traders must also realize that there is a time to run with the crowd and a time to leave the crowd, a decision which must be made by a well thought out trading plan designed before entering a trade.
That completes our lesson for today and our lessons on the trading psychology of money management. In tomorrow's lesson we are going to begin looking at different trading strategies which can be used to manage a trade once you have entered, which many traders also use to help remove some of the negative emotional effects of trading as part of a crowd.

85 Percent of U.S. Doctors in Areas Seeing COVID Spikes Concerned Reopening Schools Will Increase Risk
By Jocelyn Grzeszczak On 7/30/20 at 3:04 PM EDT
News Donald Trump Coronavirus Florida Ron DeSantis
The majority of U.S. doctors are concerned that reopening schools will increase their communities' risk from coronavirus, particularly in areas where a sharp rise in cases has been reported, a recent survey shows.
The Committee to Protect Medicare and Data for Progress conducted a survey with 2,537 physicians from July 12 to 13. The survey found that 85 percent of doctors who said they've seen a "sharp increase" in the number of reported coronavirus cases within their communities over the last 10 days also answered they were at least somewhat concerned that reopening K-12 public schools this fall would heighten their communities' risk to coronavirus.
Florida Prepares to Reopen Schools as COVID-19 Child Hospitalizations Rise
Arizona Schools Issue Coronavirus Waivers to Avoid Lawsuits From Parents
Fauci Says Teachers Part of Schools Re-opening 'Experiment'
Tennessee Teachers Hold Mock Funeral Over School Return Plans
Florida, a worldwide epicenter for the virus, is moving forward with plans to reopen its schools despite seeing a rise in hospitalizations among infected children. COVID-19 hospitalizations of those under the age of 18 increased by more than 23 percent within an eight-day period, according to the Florida Department of Health.
Florida's largest teachers' union filed a lawsuit July 20 against Governor Ron DeSantis and other state officials to overturn an emergency order requiring that schools provide students with the option of receiving in-person instruction five days a week.
On Wednesday, the Florida Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics sent an 11-page paper to DeSantis warning him that "coronavirus prevalence will not decrease enough in the next 4-6 weeks to make the benefits of school attendance outweigh the risks."
"Therefore, the FCAAP (the Florida Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics) recommends that school districts in locales with higher positive test rates (≥ 5 percent) that do not meet the 14-day criteria delay the start date for school until positive testing rates are lower," the paper said.

The survey comes amid much discussion among American lawmakers and families about whether to allow children back into classrooms this fall.
As of July 29, 11 of the country's 15 largest school districts have opted to begin the fall semester with remote learning as its sole reopening model, according to an Education Week tracker.
President Donald Trump's administration has spent much of July touting plans to reopen schools for in-person instruction, downplaying many Americans' concerns that doing so would increase the spread of coronavirus.
According to a poll conducted July 16 through 20 by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs, 46 percent of respondents said they thought major adjustments were needed if schools were to reopen.
Adjustments including daily disinfections, mask requirements, temperature checks, social distancing in classrooms and a hybrid instruction model employing both in-person and virtual learning to reduce classroom capacity were considered "essential" measures by the majority of survey respondents.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control updated its guidelines July 23 advising school administrators on how to safely reopen schools after initially receiving criticism from Trump, saying it's "critically important" to reopen schools.
"I disagree with the @CDCgov on their very tough & expensive guidelines for opening schools. While they want them open, they are asking schools to do very impractical things. I will be meeting with them!!!" the president tweeted July 8.
According to the updated CDC guidelines, the most important actions administrators can take is to "engage and encourage everyone in the school and the community to practice preventive behaviors." Social distancing, cloth face coverings and hand hygiene should also be implemented, the guidelines state.

Mantis stands 2.8 meters tall
The term mad scientist gets thrown around quite a bit, but in the case of one Matt Denton it most certainly applies. His company, Micromagic Systems, has been working steadily over the past four years to design and build a walking robot that's big enough to carry a human passenger. The resulting beast is described as "the biggest, all-terrain operational hexapod robot in the world."
The robot weighs a massive 1,900 kg (4,188 pounds), stands 2.8 meters (9.18 ft) tall, and is powered by a Perkins 2.2 liter turbo diesel engine and hydraulics. It's outfitted with a variety of sensors (including force transducers, angle sensors, and an inclinometer) that help it walk. A Linux PC running HexEngine – software designed to control hexapod locomotion – takes care of the 18 hydraulic actuators in its legs, while a panel PC puts you in the driver's seat.
"This is definitely the largest hexapod we have built so far," says Micromagic founder and Mantis' chief designer Matt Denton. His company, which produces animatronics for the film and television industry, has worked on hexapods before – including one that appeared as a six-legged turtle in the Harry Potter films. Mantis, however, was a passion project that is now being rented for events.
This isn't the only ginormous hexapod robot being built. A team from Massachusetts is working on one of a similar size called Stompy, following a successful Kickstarter campaign last year. However, Matt and his team beat them to the punch with Mantis, which you can see in action in the video below.

Evildeer April 2, 2013 04:37 PM
I'm not sure why this is so new.
6-legged Timberjack Walking machines have been around for a long time for forestry work. They use them because they do less ground damage than the normal tracked or wheeled harvesters.
(see video of one at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD2V8GFqk_Y)
They're kind of cool.
sk8dad April 2, 2013 05:49 PM
Although the post-apocalyptic setting offered plenty of drama, it was quite notable that the Mantis was only shown to crawl as a breathtakingly slow pace on perfectly level and flat terrain. Ironically, a mantis only uses 4 legs to ambulate, so even the name is sort of wrong here.
Matt Denton April 3, 2013 06:14 AM
@sk8dad. So build something better!!! PLEASE! and you can even pick your own name!
Robin McCabe April 3, 2013 12:38 PM
From the nothing new department. The John Deere Walking Forest Machine was a prototype built and run in 1994 and currently sits on display in Moline IL.
It probably never went into production because they did not have the portable computing power that is now available, to automate most of the functions.
Schrodinger April 3, 2013 01:31 PM
This is fantastic! Great work Matt!
Now when can I order one of those giant robots from Pacific Rim? :)
Tjoe April 3, 2013 02:04 PM
@Evildeer, that Timberjack walking machine looks designed for two dimension space, not three. No agility.
This is different...and I might say...a similar device has been on my drawing board. Ant's have very nimble legs with 5 joints, which would be superior on rough terrain and a forked claw for holding onto.
I have the a double Rexroth flow and pressure compensated pump(s) for operating two leg circuits, operating in sets of three in contact with the ground at all times. Rapid and precise movement, coordinated in 3d space is a challenge that can be overcome with computers and hydraulics today. I hope a couple sets of large cartridge valve banks are in my future.
The above is a great advancement in the technology and I hope to see more of it.
Gargamoth April 3, 2013 04:38 PM
That's not new tech at all. Those arms/legs are from construction equipment vehicles. paint it grey and tadaa. If it was going to be special, first off, it needs to be fast with the ability to climb since it has legs and grasp, anyway..
Charles Slavens April 3, 2013 07:39 PM
Give the project a "A+" for presentation! But the demonstration left a lot to be desired.


In Fast Moving Markets, Why Are You Using Lagging Indicators?
In recent weeks we have seen a good deal of volatility in the markets. I suppose I should point out that it is not uncommon to see volatility at any price level. Volatility is part of the environment in which we work. Knowing the market is volatile, I would assume most traders want to be entering trades at the earliest possible time, once the trade setup is confirmed. Further, I suspect most traders seek to exit before the market backs up and reduces your profit or moves fast enough to have the trade go into negative territory. These ideas only make sense.
So why in the world does the trading world insist on e-mini scalping with tools that lag the price action by several bars?
I am the first to admit that lagging indicators may have a place when swing trading as you are dealing with longer time periods and looking for larger market moves. Swing trading and e-mini scalping are polar opposites when it comes to trading technique. Swing trading takes patience and discipline where scalping is like hitting a fastball at 90 mph. There is just not the time to consider, at length, what the proper course of action might be for entering an e-mini trade. Both trading styles require plenty of trading technique and experience, but the decision process is much faster when considering scalping. You make decisions in seconds, not minutes.
Okay, okay… I will get off the soapbox, but let's talk about the tools needed to make proper scalping decisions.
Trading in real-time is not some phenomena that I dreamed up. I was taught the skill at a variety of institutions. To try to scalp with lagging indicators will put you well behind in your entries and exits. Since most new traders tend to begin as e-mini scalpers, I firmly believe that they should learn to trade in real time. They should not be taught to trade with lagging indicators. Want proof to justify my point? Have a look at the failure rate of new traders; it is astronomical and I lay a good deal of blame upon the archaic methodology that is standard practice in the majority of trading education programs.
You don't start a sprinting competition 20 feet behind the other competitors, but trading well behind the price action equates to saddling yourself with starting well behind your competition. Look into real-time trading, there are more than a few books and individuals that espouse my point of view on this topic.

Q: Count existing number of rows I want to know how many rows were found for a messaging system.
I want to echo something like: "You have X new messages"
<?php
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$dbname = "dbemployeer";

// Create connection
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

$_SESSION['dest'];
$user =  $_SESSION["username"];
$sql = "SELECT meldung, sender, datum FROM tbmeldung  WHERE dest='$user'";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    // output data of each row
    while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        echo "Meldung:
 " . $row["meldung"]. " -
Von:
" . $row["sender"]. "
Datum:
" . $row["datum"]. "
";
    }
} else {
    echo "No messages found";
}
$conn->close();

?>

A: You can easily use
$result->num_rows

for this purpose. If you have a flag like read, you can use this:
$uread = 0;
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
    echo "Meldung:
 " . $row["meldung"]. " -
Von:
" . $row["sender"]. "
Datum:
" . $row["datum"]. "
";
    if($row["read"] == 0)
      $uread++;
}

The unread message count is then in $uread.

Du kannst einfach
$result->num_rows

dafür nutzen. Wenn Du ein Flag wie gelesen hast, kannst Du das so machen:
$uread = 0;
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
    echo "Meldung:
 " . $row["meldung"]. " -
Von:
" . $row["sender"]. "
Datum:
" . $row["datum"]. "
";
    if($row["gelesen"] == 0)
      $uread++;
}

Die Anzahl der ungelesenen Nachrichten ist dann in $uread gespeichert.

1990: July 21-27
Remembering Seven's Epping era
MasterChef delivers a master win
When Network Ten announced in 2008 that it had purchased the MasterChef franchise to replace Big Brother as a major reality format, there were more than a few people that scoffed. Who would want to watch a cooking competition in prime-time? After all, the benchmark of cooking contests on Australian TV had been set with Ready Steady Cook – and it was well short of being a national phenomenon.
But Ten and the show's producers, Fremantle Media, reworked MasterChef so that it bore little resemblance to its UK original. When the show launched in Australia in April last year, it got off to a solid ratings start and as the series progressed it became a major player in the 7.00pm timeslot for Ten. The show's three judges, chefs George Calombaris and Gary Mehigan and food critic Matt Preston, went from being relative unknowns to instant celebrities – with Preston picking up a TV Week Logie for outstanding new talent earlier this year.
With the show's popularity snowballing it was perhaps no real surprise that the season finale between Julie Goodwin and Poh Ling Yeow returned the highest ratings of any non-sporting telecast since OzTAM records began in 2001. Winning the series led to Goodwin releasing a top-selling cookbook, Our Family Table, and appearing in a string of commercial endorsements as well as a regular segment on Today and a column in The Australian Women's Weekly. She has also about to launch a new show, Home Cooked, on the Nine Network. Series runner-up Yeow also gained a high-profile role, hosting a weekly TV series, Poh's Kitchen, on ABC1 and gaining a publishing deal with ABC Books.
So with the second series preparing to launch earlier this year, the rival Seven Network sought to rain on MasterChef's parade and brought out their own cooking show – My Kitchen Rules, a so-called original format that was really just a mash-up of elements of MasterChef and a UK show, Come Dine With Me, added with the 'State versus State' component of its former My Restaurant Rules and pinching two celebrity chefs who had appeared as guests on MasterChef.
My Kitchen Rules never quite hit the same heights of MasterChef's public support, but it didn't do too badly, either, giving Seven some very good early evening ratings. The problem is, though, that the show did little to spoil the public's appetite for cooking shows and left them wanting more.
So when series two of MasterChef arrived earlier this year, it hit the ground running and immediately returned ratings that took some weeks to materialise in the first series.
And, like the first series, the public's fascination with all things MasterChef continued to grow as the series progressed, turning MasterChef into a confirmed $100 million product on the back of advertising, merchandise and cross-promotion activities.
Appearing six nights a week and hitting around two million viewers each night by the end of the series, Ten was looking at making history again with last weekend's season finale. So much had the show struck a chord with the general public that Sunday's election debate between Prime Minister Julia Gillard and Opposition Leader Tony Abbott had to be re-scheduled to avoid being unwatched up against the kitchen battle between South Australians Callum Hann and Adam Liaw.
And, sure enough, history was made again. When Liaw (pictured) was announced as the second series winner, an average of 5.2 million viewers (across five cities and major regional markets) were watching – a number that surpassed last year's season finale and again ranked it as the most watched non-sports program since 2001. The program, spread over two hours, gave Ten an overall share of 41.8 per cent of the Sunday night audience – well ahead of Seven (19.0%) and Nine (15.7%) – a figure that could secure Ten the entire week regardless of whatever results it receives over the rest of the week.
The public's connection to MasterChef has ignited its fascination and knowledge of food – like Nine's earlier series The Block sparked a passion for home renovation – and has resonated well with children, who will recite recipes that they saw on the show, and who will no doubt provide the perfect ratings springboard for when Junior MasterChef starts later in the year.
The immense popularity of MasterChef has again seen the Seven Network taking up more food-related formats in a bid to undermine the MasterChef phenomenon, or at least try to cash in on some of the show's success. As well as producing a second series of My Kitchen Rules the network has bought the format rights to produce a local version of the Japanese show Iron Chef (seen here on SBS1) and is also reported to be planning a local adaptation of Canadian series Conviction Kitchen.
In the meantime, here's hoping that with the extra kilos that we might stack on thanks to the inspiration from MasterChef, that another series of The Biggest Loser will be around in the new year to inspire us to lose them!

Inside the four-laser RenAM 500Q metal additive manufacturing system
Beau Jackson November 17th 2017 - 2:57pm 0 0
Amidst the flurry of releases at this year's formnext expo, British engineering company Renishaw took a decidedly more understated approach. The latest RenAM 500Q system was soft launched in a release from the company in early October 2017. Then, without fuss or fanfare, it was presented on the Renishaw booth for all to see from day one of the show.
Speaking to Robin Weston, Marketing Manager of the Additive Manufacturing Products Division, he says he believes that the RenAM 500Q could be the system that changes Renishaw's position amongst its competitors. Configured with double the number of lasers as in many readily available systems, the 500Q has become part of a trend in the industry aimed at boosting the speed and productivity of metal additive manufacturing.

Renishaw distributed and made
The key driver in the RenAM 500Q is a specially developed optical system, part of which was on display as a demonstrator of the machine's capabilities.

The optical system was designed through a collaboration between Renishaw's dedicated control, software and mechanical engineering departments, spending 2-3 years in development. The holistic approach, in place of a stock-bought part, makes the component entirely unique to the machine and, as Robin assures me, it ill always be made using additive manufacturing. Conformal cooling in each of the components "branches" could not be created in any other way. If necessary, the design could also be modified slightly at a later date.
The RenAm 500Q has a build envelope of 250 mm x 250 mm x 350 mm. Laser and galvo mirror positioning in the 500Q delivers four lasers capable of simultaneously reaching every point the print bed. With all lasers in operation, the system can operate at a deposition rate of up to 150 cm3 per hour.
In a side by side comparison, the quad system is capable of writing a layer in roughly the same amount of time it takes two lasers to complete just 50% of the layer. At the end of a 19 hour build, the quad laser is capable of making a part about twice the size of that produced in a two laser system, and three times the size of a single laser machine.

The 500Q however, is not made for large scale parts. Instead, the build envelope is more proportionate to the number of lasers, focusing on productivity, and reducing cost per part, rather than scale.
Open materials
As with other Renishaw machines, the 500Q has an integrated powder sieving and circulation system. It has an open materials platform, allowing users to pack the machine with a range of readily available powder alloys with melting points in the range of 750 – 2000 °C.
Renishaw will continue to develop the feedback loop inside the system, responsible for ensuring continuity between all four lasers operating within the same point of the print bed. In the future, there is also scope for the company's high temperature features to be added to a quad laser system, producing systems capable of working with superalloys more suited to temperatures up to 495 °C.

The Swypit Show
Swypit CEO Kevin Hodes discusses ways to determine if a credit card processor is dishonest
Frisco, TX – May 16, 2016 – Kevin Hodes, CEO of Swypit has published a new article entitled "How to Spot a Shady Credit Card Processor." In the article, he highlights the warning signs that may help a merchant identify an unethical credit card processor.
Hodes says, "I cannot state this emphatically enough – do not sign a contract until you have read the entire document. I'm talking about every single line. Not only that, but some companies may reference the terms and conditions in the contract, but only post them online. That should be a cause for concern, but you only find it by reading the contract thoroughly."
Read the entire article here. http://swypit.com/how-to-spot-a-shady-credit-card-processor/
About Kevin Hodes:
As owner and founder of Swypit, Kevin Hodes prides himself on bringing honesty and integrity to what he considers the "slimy world of credit card processing." A former chef aboard luxury yachts, his craft brought him into contact with business professionals, dignitaries, and politicians, enabling him to develop "street smarts of business super highways." Intrigued, Hodes turned from the galley to launching a business consulting firm, a move that eventually led him to the world of credit card processing. Hodes is quoted as saying, "I got into sales, but I brought my food service savviness of making things incredibly awesome all the time," he said. "I found myself a little niche in the business—taking care of customers."
The end result has melded his expertise and personal integrity. Hodes' company, Swypit, offers next generation electronic payment processing solutions, combined with world-class service, price, and leading edge technology. Swypit is the endorsed merchant services provider for many associations, nationwide franchises, and Chambers of Commerce. In addition to card acceptance services, Swypit offers businesses free credit card terminals and discounted point-of-sale systems capable of managing inventory and payroll, gift cards, as well as cash advance services. Kevin's company focuses on providing exemplary customer support in an industry that is rife with third party providers who are often more intent upon selling equipment than providing an effective solution for businesses, small to large.
As a Certified Payment Professional, Kevin Hodes has demonstrated the necessary knowledge and skills required to perform competently in today's complex electronic payments environment. This ETA Certified Payments Professional Program (ETA CPP) recognizes that effective merchant service providers must provide not only a broad range of knowledge of the industry, but demonstrate mastery of sales, pricing and interchange, business process, operations and workflow, products and solutions, risk and regulatory compliance and security matters. The ETA is an international trade association representing more than 500 companies that offer electronic transaction processing products and services. Their mission is to advance the payments industry profession by providing leadership through education, advocacy and the exchange of information.
As an individual, Kevin served as a Planning and Zoning Commissioner in one of the fastest growing cities in America. He is a board member of the Frisco Chamber of Commerce and The American Fallen Soldiers Project. He is active in community foundations and events including the Boy Scouts of America, Eagle Gymnastics Academy, Donnie Nelson's Texas Legends Military Night Sponsor, Frisco Citizen's Fire and Police Academies, Wipe Out Kids Cancer, Young Entrepreneurs Academy and an alumni of Leadership Frisco. With regard to his impressive dedication to the community, Hodes says, "I believe that you need to give back. If you don't give to the community, then you shouldn't even be in business." Kevin's attitude has proven to be a cornerstone philosophy of his character and is ultimately responsible for the enormous success of his company.

Registration News: the registration for the inaugural C.O.G.100 is being worked out, but in the meantime, here is what you need to know if you want in on this nutty idea of mine. First, be prepared for on-line registration via Tikly on January 2nd, 2019. I'll have a specific time for that to go live, but for now, that's the date.
Secondly, a reminder that our field limit is 75 people. Now, in my mind, finding seventy five nut jobs that want to ride 100 miles of gravel in late March is going to be a tough thing to do. On the other hand, I'm hearing from several folks that are building special bikes and getting their first gravel road single speed bikes together just for this event.
Course recon should happen this month. I rough drafted a course just the other day which came out at 106 miles. Gonna have to edit a bit to get it down a few miles, but that shouldn't be too tough. As of right now, this will be 100 miles with zero towns to pass through. I may modify that to allow for some folks that need it to get into a convenience store. I'm still thinking that bit through. If you feel strongly about that, one way or the other, hit me with a comment.
My 2 cents, 100 miles is a long way to ride without some options for water at least. Food you could probably carry enough for 100 miles but water is a whole other matter.
@Rob E- I'm also getting kudos from another who wants to come for not running the event through a town. So.......there's that.
2. I hope it isn't a fatbike ride in the snow!!
Not going through a town would be fine with me as long as there was somewhere to get water that won't get you shot by a farmer. Jugs along the route, a (predetermined) kind farmers hose, heck even a predetermined mud puddle in an old cow pasture that is "guaranteed" not to give you dysentery for at least 10 hours would work. Most recommendations are at least one 16 oz bottle per hour, unless no town Tom is super fast that's 5-10 bottles they would need to carry. Tom better not be a weight weenie, if he could find enough room for 10 bottles on his bike that's another 5.2 - 10.4 lbs of weight depending on if he's half camel or not. Now before no town Tom gets all bent out of shape, as Toms will do, I have no idea who this person is and this entire comment is meant with levity. However you decide to do it, I'm going to try my best to be there; with our without 10 bottles.
Yea, 75 people is gonna fill fast. But I do have a SS gravel bike sitting in the garage already and March is open, so see you there.
Yep, stay out of towns. 5 water bottles should cover it, since it definitely won't be hot.

The Kannada movie industry, which is popularly known as Sandalwood, is often short of funds for big productions. So Sandalwood is now coming up with a crowd-sourced film and it will create a record for being India's first film funded by auto drivers.
Reportedly, almost 400 auto drivers have contributed for this film with an estimated budget of Rs 2 crore. The amount contributed varies between Rs 1,000 and Rs 1 Lakh!
The initiative was taken up by Nagraj, who is a well known film publicist while also being an auto driver. In an interview, he said, "Every day we hear about a realtor becoming a film producer or a software engineer becoming a director or actor. Then why not auto drivers who are the first people to watch Kannada movies when they release. Even before AR Shan told me about his plan for a film, I discussed the idea of producing a movie with many of my auto driver friends; now 400 are on board. By the time we finish, we'll have nearly a thousand auto-drivers producing the movie."
The movie is directed by AR Babu, and stars Aru Gowda and actress Sudha Belawadi. Kaushik Harsha will be composing music for the film.
This description, and the story behind it, makes us anticipate this film like anything, don't you agree?

Humans are destructive. Man's inhumanity to man is demonstrated daily. We kill plants and animals. We say cruel and insensitive things. Collectively, we are destroying our planet.
While the natural destructiveness of little children is relatively inconsequential and sometimes amusing, destructiveness in older children and adults is not generally viewed favorably. While we tend to minimize or justify our own destructive behavior, we view destructive behavior in others as the result of low-self-esteem, anger management problems, or emotional immaturity.
Reining in destructive behavior boosts self esteem – your reputation with yourself. It is never too late in life to start redirecting yourself to constructive thoughts and behaviors.
1) Recognize destructiveness of first reactions. Negative emotions – anger, jealousy, envy, fear – are likely to inspire destructive behaviors. Yes, it's only human to react destructively, but there's still no excuse for it.
2) Take command of destructive impulses. Our brains are equipped to inhibit negative emotions, and the more we practice doing so, the better we get at it. See previous posts: How to Train Your Dragon and Runnin' with Your Hair Blowin' Back?
4) Choose constructive behaviors. Practice restraint and integrity. Rein in destructiveness. At every decision point, counter natural destructiveness with constructive action.
Sounds like a lot of effort?
Yes, it takes effort on the front end of a situation to redirect destructiveness. Think, though, about all the energy you'll save on the back end. No messes to clean up. No apologies to make. No lingering consequences and complications. And the benefits to personal happiness and self esteem and to harmony in relationships are worth the effort.

The gubernatorial election held in Osun State on Saturday has once again brought up the issue of the Independent National Electoral Commission's powers to declare an election as "inconclusive" and the circumstances under which it could so declare.
The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999, as amended clearly spells out the condition under which a governorship candidate can be declared winner of an election.
Section 179(2)(a)(b) of the 1999 Constitution provides:
"A candidate for an election to the office of a governor of a state shall be deemed to have been duly elected where, there being two or more candidates-
(a) he has the highest number of votes cast at the election;and (b) he has not less than one-quarter of all the votes cast in each of least two-thirds of all the local government areas in the state".
The constitutional requirement here envisages only votes that were cast and such votes must have been the ones accepted as validly cast. A situation where void votes would determine or have any role to play in an election result is dangerous and can be easily manipulated. The Constitution is Supreme and the Electoral Act or any other law cannot impose any other requirement to the one stipulated by the Constitution as a condition for INEC to declare a candidate elected.
It is understandable where elections are cancelled completely due to one reason or the other since the people have to be given the opportunity to vote but once voting has taken place, it is votes that were cast and adjudged valid that should determine the result of the election.
If the argument regarding the number of void votes is taken into consideration, what do we say about situations where less than 20 percent of registered voters in a locality are the ones that vote in an election? Is the election declared void or inconclusive because of the number that took part in the election?
It is important that a political party should approach the court for judicial pronouncement on this matter now before the 2019 general elections.

Die Liste der Straßen in Oberhausen-Bermensfeld beschreibt das Straßensystem im Oberhausener Stadtteil Bermensfeld mit den entsprechenden historischen Bezügen.

Überblick
Bermensfeld bildet zusammen mit dem Oberhausener Marienviertel, dem Knappenviertel, der nördlichen Innenstadt, der Neuen Mitte, Schlad und dem Osten von Dümpten den Postleitzahlbezirk 46047. Der statistische Bezirk Bermensfeld zählte Ende 2014 4.772 Einwohner, allerdings zählt zum statistischen Bezirk Bermensfeld ein großer Teil des Knappenviertels.

Der Stadtteil wird – im Norden beginnend – im Uhrzeigersinn folgendermaßen begrenzt: Bahnstrecke Duisburg–Dortmund zur Neuen Mitte, Dellwiger Straße, Schenmannsfeld, Essener Straße sowie eine gedachte Linie östlich der Steeler Straße zum Essener Stadtteil Frintrop, Nathlandstraße, Werdener Straße, Kettwiger Straße und Katzenbruch zu Dümpten sowie im Westen die Mellinghofer Straße und deren gedachte Verlängerung bis zur Bahnstrecke Duisburg–Dortmund zu Schlad und dem Knappenviertel.

In Bermensfeld gibt es 26 benannte Verkehrsflächen, darunter einen Platz. Davon befinden sich sieben Straßen nur teilweise im Stadtteil:
Vier Straßen gehören teilweise zu Dümpten (Kettwiger Straße, Mellinghofer Straße, Nathlandstraße, Stockstraße), zwei Straßen führen über die Stadtgrenze nach Essen-Frintrop (Dellwiger Straße, Jagdstraße), die Essener Straße wird in der Neuen Mitte fortgesetzt.

Übersicht der Straßen und Plätze
Die nachfolgende Tabelle gibt eine Übersicht über die vorhandenen Straßen, Wege und Plätze im Stadtteil sowie einige dazugehörige Informationen.

 Name:  aktuelle Bezeichnung der Straße oder des Platzes.
 Länge/Maße in Metern:
 Die in der Übersicht enthaltenen Längenangaben sind gerundete Übersichtswerte, die in Google Earth mit dem dortigen Maßstab ermittelt wurden. Sie dienen Vergleichszwecken und werden, sofern amtliche Werte bekannt sind, ausgetauscht und gesondert gekennzeichnet.Bei Plätzen sind die Maße in der Form a × b angegeben.
 Der Zusatz im Stadtteil gibt an, dass die Länge die des Straßenabschnitts innerhalb Bermensfelds ist, sofern die Straße in benachbarte Stadtteile weitergeführt wird.
 Der Zusatz ohne Stichstraßen gibt bei verzweigten Straßen die Länge der "Hauptstraße" an.
 Der Zusatz (alle Straßenabschnitte zusammen) gibt an, dass die Straße so verwinkelt ist, dass keine "Hauptstraße" besteht. Stattdessen wird die Länge aller Straßenabschnitte zusammengezählt.
 Herleitung:  Ursprung oder Bezug des Namens
 Anmerkungen:  zusätzliche Informationen
 Bild:  Foto der Straße oder eines anliegenden Objekts

Liste ehemaliger Straßen in Bermensfeld
Die Liste ehemaliger Straßen führt in der Übersicht erwähnte vormalige oder gelöschte Straßennamen im Stadtteil Bermensfeld auf. Die meisten davon wurden 1915 ausgetauscht, als die Stadt Borbeck aufgelöst wurde und der Hauptteil an Essen fiel, während der Westen von Frintrop – das heutige Bermensfeld – nach Oberhausen eingemeindet wurde.

Weitere Örtlichkeiten im Stadtteil
In Bermensfeld befindet sich die Bushaltestelle "Lipperheidebaum", deren Name sich nicht wie sonst üblich auf einen Straßennamen bezieht, sondern auf eine ehemalige Zollstation in der Lipperheide (die mit einem Schlagbaum versehen war).

Die "Grundschule am Froschenteich" führt ihren Namen auf einen großen Teich mit Fröschen zurück, der sich hier tatsächlich früher befand. Bis 1988 hieß sie "Grundschule Bermensfeld", wurde dann aber wegen der Namensgleichheit mit der benachbarten "Hauptschule Bermensfeld" umbenannt.

Q: ¿Cómo cambiar el valor de un slider? estoy intentando crear un jar que sea un autoclick desde Java.
Tengo un slider hecho, pero no cambia de valor según deslizo el slider.
Os dejo el código:
 public Autoclick() {
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        setBounds(100, 100, 418, 332);
        contentPane = new JPanel();
        contentPane.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
        setContentPane(contentPane);
        contentPane.setLayout(null);

        slider = new JSlider();
        slider.setBounds(10, 190, 214, 35);
        contentPane.add(slider);
        slider.setMajorTickSpacing(20);
        slider.setPaintLabels(true);

        JLabel lbl1 = new JLabel("");
        lbl1.setBounds(57, 236, 133, 14);
        contentPane.add(lbl1);
        lbl1.setText("value of Slider is =" + slider.getValue());

    }

Y el slider no cambia el valor:

Sigue siempre siendo 50, con lo que quiero que esto vaya cambiando, según deslizo el slider. No tengo ni idea de como hacerlo, por lo que si me dais una ayudita...

Comm., MA Profit Confidential 2016-04-27T11:10:18Z 2017-07-02 03:37:30 NVDA stock NVDA NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) NASDAQ:NVDA Nvidia stock Nvidia NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) is pushing into a couple of exciting areas in tech. Here's what it means for NVDA stock. NVIDIA Stock,Stocks https://www.profitconfidential.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/NVDA-Stock2.jpg
Lots of Room for Growth for NVDA Stock
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock has been flying high. Over the past year, NVDA stock is up a whopping 65%, hovering near its all-time high. After an impressive run like that, investors may want to wait for a pullback. But there are also a number of catalysts that could send NVDA stock higher. Here are a couple of catalysts that Nvidia has in the works that could keep NVDA stock soaring.
Nvidia no longer just makes graphics chips for high-end PC gaming machines. In recent years, the company has realized that it can make chips for emerging technologies. As such, one area Nvidia is making a big push into is the autonomous vehicle market. The driverless car is one of the hottest areas in tech right now. Almost every major car company is working on one. Even tech giants such as Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG), Baidu Inc (NASDAQ:BIDU), and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) are working on one or are rumored to be working on one. And it's no wonder. They are all trying to get in on a market that will be worth about $42.0 billion by 2025 and may potentially account for a quarter of all global auto sales by 2035. (Source: "Driverless-Car Global Market Seen Reaching $42 Billion by 2025," Bloomberg, January 8, 2015.) Driverless cars need a powerful chip to process the enormous amount of data that will be transmitted through various sensors and arrays and that's where Nvidia comes in. The company is marketing its "Drive PX 2" processor as the best option to power driverless cars, which has a processing power equivalent to that of 150 "MacBook Pros." It can also handle up to 12 camera inputs, LiDAR (a technology that measures distance with a laser light), radar, and ultrasonic sensors. (Source: "NVIDIA Boosts IQ of Self-Driving Cars With World's First In-Car Artificial Intelligence Supercomputer," NVIDIA Corporation, January 4, 2016.) Nvidia has already partnered with many car manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz, Audi AG, Porsche, Bentley Motors, Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA), and Honda Motor Co Ltd (TYO:7267). The graphics chipmaker also announced that Volvo AB (STO:VOLV-B) is already using the Drive PX 2 to power a fleet of 100 self-driving SUVs in the company's self-driving pilot program. Nvidia's auto business only accounts for 6.6% of the company's total sales, but it's also the company's fastest-growing segment. The auto business has the potential to be a huge growth driver for NVDA stock for years to come.
At its core, Nvidia is a PC-gaming company. Its largest business segment is supplying its leading graphic processors for gamers—a market that it dominates. As of the third quarter of 2015, Nvidia held a commanding 81.1% share of the market for discrete graphics cards. (Source: "GPU Market Share Results For Q3 2015 – AMD and NVIDIA See Increased AIB GPU Shipments as PC Gaming Market Grows," WCCFtech.com, last accessed April 26, 2016.) But the next hot area in gaming is virtual reality (VR), and the technology is perfectly fitting for Nvidia. The industry is just starting to get off the ground, but virtual reality could become an $80.0-billion industry by 2025. (Source: "Virtual Reality Could Become an $80 Billion Industry: Goldman," CNBC, January 14, 2016.) Nvidia isn't going to make VR headsets, but the company will be supplying the graphics chips needed to power the headset. Right now, if you purchase an "Oculus Rift" headset, you also need to purchase a separate "VR-ready" computer. On its web site, Oculus is recommending specific computers to customers that are "Oculus ready," such as PCs that are either equipped with Nvidia's "GTX 970" graphics card or Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:AMD) "R9 290" card. Chances are most serious gamers will opt for Nvidia-equipped machines. A recent report shows that three out of four gamers own an Nvidia graphics processing unit (GPU). (Source: "NVIDIA/AMD Market-Share Graph Shows 3 Out of 4 Gamers Own an Nvidia GPU," WCCFtech.com, last accessed April 26, 2016.) As virtual reality continues to grow, look for the technology to significantly add to Nvidia's growth over the next few years.
The Bottom Line on NVDA Stock
For a company that started out supplying PC graphics chips, Nvidia sure has a lot of growth ahead of it in many exciting areas. I've outlined a couple of them—driverless cars and virtual reality—which should be a boon for NVDA in the coming years.

Arriving at Shaare Zedek Hospital, Rabbi Lau recited several chapters of Psalms, and met and blessed Elmaliach and his family, who were standing near his bed.
Officials at Shaare Tzedek Hospital described Elmaliach's survival as a "Hanukkah miracle", stating that if the ambulance carrying Elmaliach had been delayed even a matter of minutes, he would not have survived.

Left-wing Local Governments to be Greener, Commission-free and More Compassionate
Left-wing municipalities will not stop local development projects, but they will be different from what they are now: they shall be greener, more compassionate and commission-free, said President of MSZP Bertalan Tóth on Friday.
"No investment commissions will have to be paid to Lőrinc Mészáros." Now, "unfortunately, we find that with every investment project, Lőrinc Mészáros, Viktor Orbán's man of straw reaps the profit of overpricing," the party president said after the council of the Left-wing Municipal Assocication, where he met the joint opposition's mayoral candidate for Budapest Gergely Karácsony, left-wing municipal leaders, municipal representatives and candidates.
Although Fidesz is trying to scare people with future opposition settlements not getting funding, the European Union will allow settlements or their alliances to have direct access to EU funding. This way, the subsidies that comes from the EU can be used in line with European decision-makers' intentions, said Tóth.
"Left-wing self-governance starts with the fact that self-governance is not the privilege of local representatives but the democratic right of the people living in the settlements," he emphasized.
Therefore, new institutions of social dialogue will be built, involving local people in local governance, and local workers' representations and employees in the development of the economic policy and economic development ideas of the local government.
It is a key task for left-wing municipalities to show solidarity and social care, from elderly care to helping young people, to mitigate the effects of the social divide caused by government.
They should, as far as possible, facilitate free education, free access to knowledge and the development of healthcare services.
"Because, of course, it is very well possible that the new local representatives or mayor will have to tell the sports club that we will not build a third training hall, but buy a CT instead, as they did in the 13th district," he said.
Free media must be created: what is important for the settlement is to reach locals and nobody should be afraid to voice their opinion.
And even if scarcely, left-wing municipalities have the opportunity to do things for clean air and climate protection through urban planning and traffic management.
"We want people local public life to be about people. Not about big politics, but about the people who live there. So that the power of the people instead of the people of power" will win in the settlements where the opposition, including the Hungarian Socialist Party, now has the opportunity to win" he said.
He said that MSZP had consistently pursued the strategy according to which the primary purpose of the municipal elections is the replacement of the overlords of Fidesz and the liberation of the settlements, and everything else is secondary. It is also thanks to this that the cooperation of opposition parties in all 23 districts of the capital could happen and also as regards the person of the mayoral candidate. In 21 out of the 23 towns with county rights there are joint candidates; in 89 settlements with more than 10,000 inhabitants there is opposition consensus, and in several settlements with a population under 10,000, they are working together to "make the given settlement free again."
"We will serve local voters living in cities, towns and villages; the people who live there," he said.
Gergely Karácsony said, in fact, the street demanded that opposition parties jointly provide an alternative to people who want change. Not only have they written new policies, but also a more compassionate, greener program, one that will remedy the damage of the governance that municipalities have seen in healthcare, education and social services in the past 9 years.
