A Match Ban And Kshs 6.5 Million Fine For Man City’s Bernardo Silva Over ‘Racist’ Tweet
by Bonface OsanoManchester City forward Bernardo Silva has been suspended for one first-team match and fined Kshs 6.5million for his tweet relating to team-mate Benjamin Mendy.
Silva compared Mendy to the character on a packet of Conguitos — a sweet brand available in Spain and Portugal.
The Portugal player, 25, must also complete a face-to-face education after admitting a breach of FA Rule E3.
Silva deleted the post 46 minutes after he published it before tweeting: “Can’t even joke with a friend these days.”
There was no hearing after Silva admitted the charge, and acknowledged some people may be offended by the “historical connotations of the Conguitos character”.

The report from the FA commission said: “The player did not himself intend the post to be insulting or in any way racist.
“It is clear that the tweet was intended to be no more than a joke between close friends.
“However, this was not a private jocular communication between two friends.
“The post was on a social media platform exposed to the 600,000 followers of a high-profile and well-respected professional footballer.”
Silva will be ineligible for City’s Premier League home match against Chelsea on Saturday.

A somewhat outdated package of basic and easy-to-use functions for fitting dose-response curves to continuous dose-response data, calculating some toxicological parameters and plotting the results. Please consider using the more powerful and actively developed 'drc' package. Functions that are fitted are the cumulative density function of the log-normal distribution ('probit' fit), of the logistic distribution ('logit' fit), of the Weibull distribution ('weibull' fit) and a linear-logistic model ('linlogit' fit), derived from the latter, which is used to describe data showing stimulation at low doses (hormesis). In addition, functions checking, plotting and retrieving dose-response data retrieved from a database accessed via 'odbc' are included. As an alternative to the original fitting methods, the algorithms from the 'drc' package can be used.

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL (LA VITA E BELLA) (Italy, 1997) *** 1/2 Directed by Roberto Benigni.Written by Vincenzo Cerami and Benigni.Photography, Tonino Delli Colli. Editing, Simona Paggi. Music,Nicola Piovani; Production design, Danilo Donati.Produced by Elda Ferri and Gianluigi Braschi. Cast Roberto Benigni (Guido), Nicoletta Braschi (Dora), Giorgio Cantarini (Giosue), Giustino Durano (Uncle), Sergio Bustric (Ferruccio), Marisa Paredes (Dora's mother), Horst Buchholz (Dr.Lessing), et al. A Miramax release. In Italian. 122 minutes.PG-13.
Ever since the birth of cinema, like the stock market, the movie production of just about all nations has had its ups and downs, its periods of glory, its descents to Purgatory. Today, many a national cinema is in crisis, but then even among those countries, gems are produced.
Italian film, it's been repeatedly claimed, mostly by specialists, is in the doldrums these days. I disagree. Yes, big names such as Rossellini, De Sica, Fellini and such are no more. Antonioni is alive but seriously un-well. Scola is alive and well and active, but his films don't get the distribution they once had, notably in the U.S.A where he's almost an unknown now. Fiftyish Bertolucci is under-represented; Pupi Avati is not even listed in most general reference works. Movies by the still younger, most talented mavericks (Moretti, Nichetti, Salvatore, many others) are minimally screened.
Yet, if for nothing else, Italian cinema today should be world-famous for its wit and sense of the comic, the best around. A case in point is Life is Beautiful, by and with that arch-clown, the screwball comic Roberto Benigni. Mercifully, the Grand Jury Prize at the 1998 Cannes Festival. It has also received seven Academy Awards nominations, including both Best Film and Best Foreign Film - something that has not happened since 1969, with Costa-Gavras's political thriller Z.
LIB (Life is Beautiful) has two halves. The first is a tornado of fast talk, lighting-quick acts, broad gestures, and inventions as hilarious as anything I can remember.The audience is kept in stitches.
Benigni plays Guido who, in 1938 Fascist Italy, comes to Tuscan town of Arezzo (under 100,000 pop.) where he dreams of having his own bookstore. At first he flirts with pretty schoolteacher Dora (the quietly luminous Nicoletta Braschi, Benigni's wife), as he does with all the girls. But before you can say "giovinezza" this becomes love and courtship, in entirely original, hilarious ways.
Simultaneously, Guido goes through other, wonderfully comical routines as he waits on tables at the Grand Hotel where his nice uncle, the Maitre D, has hired him. Guido also impersonates people, and is not stingy with overt or implied critiques of the Fascist regime, its bureaucracy, its racism, its go-getters, its delusions of grandeur.
He then "abducts" a willing Dora on the very day of her official (and arranged) engagement to a stuffy government flunky. If you're not in stitches, have your doctor check you funny bone. Guido and Dora marry right away.
It's all slapstick fantasy, of course, as much as any Marx Brothers film. Almost nothing of what happens could happen in reality, yet the fancifulness is rooted in reality.  Until, that is, his uncle's horse (sic) is painted green by Fascists, with "Jewish Horse" written on it.
The first half is as Italian as they make them, with typical volubility, zesr for life and sense of the absurd. It is not for nothing that this is the land of the Commedia dell' Arte and of grand, lyrical opera.
Cut to five years later. The couple have a bookstore and a little boy. The government targets Jews and Jewish businesses. The Nazis deport father and son to a concentration camp Dora (a gentile) forces her way into the deportation train. To protect the youngster, Guido fabricates an elaborate charade to make him believe that all this is just one big game.
The break in tone is jolting. From the laughter of Part One we are transported to the sadness of Part Two, which is heart-rending. In Italy, the film swept the equivalent of Oscars (7 wins) and broke all attendance records. But there were some strong objections to Benigni for "trivializing the Holocaust." "Not so," he fought back He had submitted his script to major Jewish organizations which gave it their go-ahead and later even defended the finished film. The Mayor of Jerusalem published praises.
Following Cannes, Benigni was a guest of honor at the Jerusalem Film Festival where he won the first prize for a Jewish-themed work, Between the movie's release in Italy and Cannes, he did make some cuts, said to be more a matter of length than of content, although I suspect that the slightly reduced version may be the cause of some continuity gaps and "collapsed" time.
The controversy has continued. The reception of the film by the public has been very good, by critics too, even though nay-sayers do remain who think it is in poor taste. The inescapable fact is that the uneasy mixture does come as a shock. It is a "first," a daring experiment that gambles not on comedy but on Guido's shenanigans --his lies to his son -- within a death camp. Still, Part Two, while based on the Nazis' inexplicable monstrosity, is also very much of a fantasy, a kind of landscape in the mind that does not reproduce, as in a documentary, the horror of it all. In a sense, it is somewhat like some shielded child's imagination. And its engine is not reality but the limitless love of a father for his son.
By a strange coincidence, in both this film and Central Station, its rival at the Oscars, the woman and the child are called Doris and Joshua.
At the Cannes Festival, the prize ceremony is short (around 30 minutes) and dull. But for the first time in memory it was hugely livened up by Benigni. He appeared on the stage to receive his award (the runner-up Grand Jury Prize), jumping, hollering, radiant with joy ... and pretending he had received the topmost award, the Palme d'Or . Frantically, like someone who has met his savior, he threw himself prone at the feet of Jury President Martin Scorsese who was so taken aback that he lost his ever-solemn composure. The irrepressible Benigni went on to more profuse, comical expressions of happiness and gratitude.

Why Use Dependency Inversion?
Dependency Inversion Principle
The design step is integral to the development of well-developed software. Without having a good design plan, down the line software can become very coupled, rigid, and very hard to expand. Nobody wants to be the person working on a system where change preventers run rampant and changing/adding a small feature can become a nightmare very quickly. However, we all have been guilty of jumping the gun where we jump right into coding(myself included).
Now that we established that good design is important, what should be considered when planning software? The SOLID design principles are a great foundation for designing maintainable/extendable software. The D in solid, stands for Dependency Inversion Principle. This is also known as inversion of control, IOC, or the most popular, dependency injection. The principle relies primarily on the notion:
Depend upon Abstractions. Do not depend upon concretions
This means that, if we use abstractions in our code base, we should depend on those, rather than the implementations of that class, so that you can write a new implementation and just plug it in where you need it. High level policy, shouldn’t depend on low level detail and vice versa. They should both depend on abstractions. Understanding this, helped me to know when to create abstractions as well as designing loosely coupled dependency.
The example below illustrates the dependency inversion principle in practice:
The client code depends on the high level abstraction UserService interface. The calling code can use whatever interface implements the UserService. The same goes for the UserServiceImpl class depending upon the UserDao abstraction. What benefits does this provide? The calling code doesn’t need to be changed since it depends on the implementer of the abstraction and not on the concretion. Down the road, this helps against anti-patterns such as change preventers because we would only have to change the current implementation or create a new one. An example would be if we had to write a new UserDao for a different DBMS.(Say you store some data in a relational database, and you store other data in a NoSQL database)
Types of Dependency Injection
There are two main types of ways to use the dependency inject: setter injection or constructor injection.
Setter Injection: The dependency is provided to the setter of the dependent implementation.
Benefits: Setters can be called at any time. This provides a flexible solution if you want to be able to change the implementation based on conditional statements. This is good for optional dependencies that may not need to be defined.
Disadvantages: Since the setter can be called at anytime, it is harder to differentiate if the dependency was changed during the life-cycle of the object.
Constructor Injection: The dependency is provided to the setter of the dependent implementation.
Benefits: Since the dependency is set at the creation of the object, you only have to worry about defining it once, and it will not change.
Disadvantages: The dependency is forced during the creation of the object and the object can’t work without providing an implementation for the dependency.
DI Frameworks
Using frameworks can make it a little easier to abide by the dependency inversion principle. In past experiences I have used spring and guice. Spring loads all of your dependencies into the “ApplicationContext”. This makes it so that you don’t have to instantiate any of your dependencies in calling code, but in configuration files or classes. Here is a list of a few other DI frameworks:

2.1.1
Component
is a class that should be extended for every component that's being made. It
is a helper class to keep the code uniform.
This is not to be used directly, only extended
see props on how to pass in additional configuration to the constructor.
(Object)
Main DOM element, you can pass a DOM object
import { Component } from '@verndale/core';
class Foo extends Component {
constructor(el: HTMLElement){
super(el);
}
setupDefaults(){
// ...defaults go here
}
addListeners(){
// ...listeners go here
}
}
// Create a new Foo component
new Foo(document.querySelector('.foo'));
This method is used for override; It's called directly after the element and configuration have been set up
void
This method is used for override;
It's called directly after setupDefaults()
, so everything is ready and setup at this point.
void
Main class element, this will be a native Node instance
This can be reachable at any time in your subclass with this.el
after super()
is called
Type: Object
Get component configuration.
Type: Object
class Foo extends Component {
construction(el: HTMLElement, props: { name: string }){
super(el, props);
}
setupDefaults(){
console.log(this.props.name); // Outputs "Foo"
}
}
// Create a new Foo component with some configuration
new Foo(document.querySelector('.foo'), {
name: 'Foo'
});
Set DOM object.
Type: Object
(DomElements)
class Foo extends Component {
construction(el: HTMLElement){
super(el);
}
setupDefaults(){
this.dom = {
$container: document.querySelector('.container')
}
}
addListeners(){
//DOM object is available
console.log(this.dom.$container);
}
}
// Create a new Foo component
new Foo(document.querySelector('.foo'));
Creates bundles from modules that are defined in this method. This is to be used for the main entry points for your module initialization.
create()
allows you to import any module(s) at runtime as long as the DOM element is on the page.
This method should be used to load JavaScript chunks at runtime that you don not want in the main or common bundle
and is used with the Component and render method to loop through each matched element on the page.
You must have a data-module
attribute that is the same name as the JavaScript file in the HTML
in order for create()
to detect the component.
The JavaScript file you are importing does not have to be a class
; it could be anything - ie. a single function,
an object, or a collection of utility functions.
Type: {name: string, loader: function (): Promise<any>?, styles: function (): Promise<any>?, render: function (module: any, el: NodeListOf<HTMLElement>): void?, props: any?}

(Function)
Callback which returns the raw element.
void
import { render } from '@verndale/core';
render(document.querySelectorAll('.foo'), $target => {
new Foo($target);
});


I’m convinced that one of the secrets to levelling up your Unity skills is to become very comfortable writing custom editor tools. Every project I’ve worked on in the past year has been made significantly better by building tools to automate repetitive or time consuming tasks.
For example, imagine you are working on a project which requires placing gems at even distances (like coins in Temple Run, or rings in Sonic). Placing all of these by hand isn’t a good use of anyone’s time, and making changes to these layouts sucks because moving a gem in the middle of a row means that everything after it needs to be adjusted as well.
A tool that automatically places objects at even spaces along a spline would not only allow you to get the objects placed faster, but make it way easier to make changes later. This post is going to show you the basics of how to put a tool like this together.
(there’s a unitypackage download at the end of this post if you just want the code).
The tool we’re building is fairly simple, but there are a few different parts we need to set up. We’ll cover these in order:
I could probably write a few blog posts just covering different spline creation algorithms, but thankfully the Unity wiki has us covered here. Head over there and grab the Interpolate.cs script. This will handle all the complicated parts of creating our spline for us. All that’s left for us is to define the inputs.
If you look at Interpolate.cs, you’ll find the method that we’ll be using to generate our splines:
IEnumerable<Vector3> NewCatmullRom(Transform[] nodes, int slices, bool loop)
So the inputs we need are an array of node positions (the initial control points that will define the shape of our spline), the number of slices (points placed between these initial nodes), whether or not we want our spline to loop and finally the GameObject we want to duplicate along the path.
However, none of the logic regarding what these inputs are should be put into Interpolate.cs, which means it’s time for us to start writing our custom tool class.
So as mentioned, the first thing our tool will need to do is provide inputs to the Interpolate class. So let’s set that up:
public class SplinePlacer : MonoBehaviour
{
public Transform[] initialNodes;
public int curveResolution;
public bool loop;
public GameObject objectToPlace;
}
You can go ahead and set these up in the inspector if you want, although you won’t see anything yet. so perhaps we should also set up the gizmos to visualize the spline. Gizmos (for those who are unfamiliar with them) are objects which are drawn in the scene view but do not appear in your actual game. We’re going to be using the Gizmo api to draw our spline.
To write a custom gizmo for a component, you need to override the OnDrawGizmos method. Let’s start by drawing a sphere at every initial node point, so that we don’t need the Transform objects we’re supplying to have a mesh renderer attached to them. The code below allocates an array of Vector3[]s that isn’t really being used in this example, but we will be using this array later, so I’ve included it now to avoid needing to change code as we go.
void OnDrawGizmos()
{
Vector3[] initialPoints = new Vector3[initialNodes.Length];
for (int i = 0; i < initialNodes.Length; i++)
{
initialPoints[i] = initialNodes[i].position;
Gizmos.DrawWireSphere(initialPoints[i], 0.1f);
}
}
If you switch back to the editor, and add a few empty GameObjects to the list of initialNodes, you should now have shiny wireframe spheres in the scene view to help you see what’s going on.
Great! Now let’s get on with the business of actually seeing our spline.
To do this, we need to create a spline on every call of the OnDrawGizmos method, and draw a line segment between each node on the newly created spline (we create a new spline on every call so that we can see the updates to the spline as we move the nodes in the scene view).
void OnDrawGizmos()
{
if (initialNodes == null) return;
if (initialNodes.Length < 2) return;
Vector3[] initialPoints = new Vector3[initialNodes.Length];
for (int i = 0; i < initialNodes.Length; i++)
{
initialPoints[i] = initialNodes[i].position;
Gizmos.DrawWireSphere(initialPoints[i], 0.15f);
}
IEnumerable<Vector3> spline = Interpolate.NewCatmullRom(initialNodes,
curveResolution,
loop);
IEnumerator iterator = spline.GetEnumerator();
iterator.MoveNext();
var lastPoint = initialPoints[0];
while (iterator.MoveNext())
{
Gizmos.DrawLine(lastPoint, (Vector3)iterator.Current);
lastPoint = (Vector3)iterator.Current;
//prevent an infinite loop if we want our spline to loop
if (lastPoint == initialPoints[0]) break;
}
}
If you compile this, and throw a few control points into the inspector panel, you should be able to drag them around see something like this:
Although this looks cool, it really isn’t useful yet, which brings us to part 3:
The most common use case I’ve found for this type of tool is placing objects along the spline while setting up the scene (ie/ before runtime), so that’s what we’ll cover here.
I’ve found the most intuitive way to handle this is to write a custom inspector for the SplinePlacer class that draws a button that triggers the placement action. So lets do that now:
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
using System.Collections;
[CustomEditor(typeof(SplinePlacer))]
public class SplinePlacerEditor : Editor
{
public override void OnInspectorGUI()
{
DrawDefaultInspector();
if (GUILayout.Button("Place Objects"))
{
SplinePlacer placer = (SplinePlacer)target;
placer.PlaceObjects();
}
}
}
This code won’t compile yet, because we haven’t defined the PlaceObjects method in SplinePlacer, so go ahead and add an empty method with that name now. Once you’ve done that, throw this new inspector class into your Editor folder and let it compile. If you click back to your spline placer object it should look something like this:
Now all that’s left is to actually have PlaceObjects do something and we’re good to go. This gets a bit a hairy, especially because I’m duplicating a lot of code so that I can present a self contained method for this tutorial, but the algorithm is as follows:
And an implementation of this might look like this:
public void PlaceObjects()
{
//To make things easier to understand
//we're going to parse the spline into a
//list of Vector3s instead of using the iterator
IEnumerable<Vector3> spline = Interpolate.NewCatmullRom(initialNodes,
curveResolution,
loop);
IEnumerator iterator = spline.GetEnumerator();
List<Vector3> splinePoints = new List<Vector3>();
while (iterator.MoveNext())
{
splinePoints.Add((Vector3)iterator.Current);
}
//distanceToMove represents how much farther
//we need to progress down the spline before
//we place the next object
int nextSplinePointIndex = 1;
float distanceToMove = distanceBetweenObjects;
//our current position on the spline
Vector3 positionIterator = splinePoints[0];
//our algo skips the first control point, so
//we need to manually place the first object
GameObject.Instantiate(objectToPlace, positionIterator, Quaternion.identity);
while(nextSplinePointIndex < splinePoints.Count)
{
Vector3 direction = (splinePoints[nextSplinePointIndex] - positionIterator);
direction = direction.normalized;
float distanceToNextPoint = Vector3.Distance(positionIterator,
splinePoints[nextSplinePointIndex]);
if (distanceToNextPoint >= distanceToMove)
{
positionIterator += direction*distanceToMove;
GameObject.Instantiate(objectToPlace,
positionIterator,
Quaternion.identity);
distanceToMove = distanceBetweenObjects;
}
else
{
distanceToMove -= distanceToNextPoint;
positionIterator = splinePoints[nextSplinePointIndex++];
}
}
}
Once this code compiles, pressing the “Place Objects” button should populate your spline with the object you provided to be duplicated.
Depending on your needs, there are a ton of different ways to improve on this tool. One addition I’ve found useful is to bind a keyboard shortcut to the act of creating another initial node, adding it to the end of the list of nodes, and selecting it in the hierarchy. This simplifies the process of creating paths greatly.
Another option I’ve found handy in some cases is to automatically select all the spawned objects after placing them, allowing a really quick group edit of their components.
You may also want to write additional inspector buttons for doing things like deleting all spawned children, or serializing their positions, or any of a million other things that might make your specific use case better.
If you’re running into any issues getting things to work, feel free to grab this unitypackage, which contains all of the code presented above. If you’re still running into issues, or you have tools of your own that you want to share, send me a message on twitter!

Why is it special?
For starters, it makes your HTML5 video behave like a background cover image, but other plugins also do that. CoverVid is very lightweight, with only 800 bytes of Javascripts. It is usable in native Javascript and jQuery. Its' logic is parent based, meaning the parent element can be any size (Not necessarily just a full-screen background).
How do I use it?
- First pull the project down from GitHub and link
covervid.min.js
into your site. Make sure it is loaded after jQuery if using it. - It is important to note that the video you target will use its' parent element to scale. With that in mind, we will create some simple markup and add some base styling to size the videos' parent/wrapper element.
<div class="covervid-wrapper"> <video class="covervid-video" autoplay loop poster="img/video-fallback.png"> <source src="videos/clouds.webm" type="video/webm"> <source src="videos/clouds.mp4" type="video/mp4"> </video> </div>
.covervid-wrapper { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }
- Now, we would simply call the
coverVid(Container-Element, Video-Width, Video-Height)
on the video element, passing through the native dimensions of the video. If you are using jQuery, we would call
$('.covervid-video').coverVid(1920, 1080);
.

There are two ways to access the field values and widgets from inside an AT content item.
First, a more complex example on getting fields and widgets properties using self.schema:
for fname in self.schema.keys():
field = self.schema.get(fname)
widget = field.widget
widgetLabel = widget.Label(self)
fieldValue = field.get(self))
To get a field value, one could use
self.schema['customer_copy_to'].get(self)
The second way uses self.Schema() and shows the equivalent of the above example
self.Schema().getField('customer_copy_to').get(self)
Of course, there's always the default generated AT getters, but sometimes it's not possible to use those (for example, when you want to get the raw value of a field.


Provides the setup and calculations needed to run a likelihood-based continual reassessment method (CRM) dose finding trial and performs simulations to assess design performance under various scenarios. 3 dose finding designs are included in this package: ordinal proportional odds model (POM) CRM, ordinal continuation ratio (CR) model CRM, and the binary 2-parameter logistic model CRM. These functions allow customization of design characteristics to vary sample size, cohort sizes, target dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) rates, discrete or continuous dose levels, combining ordinal grades 0 and 1 into one category, and incorporate safety and/or stopping rules. For POM and CR model designs, ordinal toxicity grades are specified by common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) version 4.0. Function 'pseudodata' creates the necessary starting models for these 3 designs, and function 'nextdose' estimates the next dose to test in a cohort of patients for a target DLT rate. We also provide the function 'crmsimulations' to assess the performance of these 3 dose finding designs under various scenarios.

JACKPOT A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 2001 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): * 1/2
JACKPOT, the second picture by the Polish brothers, director and co-writer Michael Polish and co-writer Mark Polish, tackles the world of competitive karaoke singing. Their first film, TWIN FALLS IDAHO, a love story with co-joined twins, was one of a kind. But people will, undoubtedly, compare their latest film with last year's hopeless DUETS, another family affair, featuring father Bruce Paltrow as the director and daughter Gwyneth Paltrow as the star. The surprise is that the disappointing DUETS is the livelier of the two. Even without the DUETS comparison, however, the gloomy JACKPOT has all of the fizz of a soda left open overnight.
When we meet Sunny Holiday (Jon Gries) and his manager Lester Irving (Garrett Morris), they are on a 43-city tour in an old, shocking pink land yacht. Looking like they haven't got a nickel to their name, they brag to a reporter that Sunny has made a fortune. How much exactly? Well, "thousands." Lester always gets his fifteen percent, which one night means that his total earnings amount to the lid on the blender that Sunny wins. Grizzled veterans of the karaoke wars, they both sport scraggly beards and cheap clothing. About the only thing that separates them in physical appearance is that Sunny is a middle aged white guy, while Lester is an older black man. Lester is fond of asking the good Lord's help before Sunny heads to the stage for the evening's battle. In other long, uninteresting scenes, Lester offers Sunny lots of unsolicited advice on how to be successful. "Sleeping in a car doesn't guarantee you'll become a star," is one of the aphorisms that Lester comes up with. Lester is clearly someone who never takes his own advice.
The movie features some known actors in cameo performances. Daryl Hannah plays Sunny's wife, Bobbi. In repetitive flashbacks, she keeps expressing her strong displeasure with his "fantasy tour." Anthony Edwards shows up, and that's about it. The best piece of work comes from Peggy Lipton ("The Mod Squad") as a woman who has a one-night stand with Sunny.
It's never clear what kind of movie JACKPOT wants to be. Among the stranger subplots are one involving soap scamming and another about a Lolita-like seductress named Tangerine (Camellia Clouse), who only wants Sunny "to sign her yearbook." Tangi, as she likes to be called, looks to be a 16-year-old going on 13. Dressed in frilly and revealing clothes, she lures Sunny into a pink bedroom that looks like it should belong to her younger sister. What happens or, more precisely, what doesn't quite happen there is either funny or creepy, but it's not clear which. JACKPOT is like that scene. It's not clear how to take it, and with its lack of energy, we end up not caring.
JACKPOT runs 1:35. It is rated R for language and sexuality and would be acceptable for most teenagers.
The film opens nationwide in the United States on Friday, August 17, 2001. In the Silicon Valley, it will be showing at the Camera Cinemas and the AMC theaters.

Through first round of Planet of the Apps, but...
I can't go any further
I submitted my original application to the show in Augest with my new app "Motion Beats". I was so happy when the casting office called me about the good news. But half way through the extended application process, the show called me saying that I can't participate in the show anymore because I not a US citizen or permanent resident.
It's a bummber. But I figure I post my original audition video if anyone is interested.

Description
System controls the statements around the object by checking the distances with five Ultrasonic Sensors. The Sensors work Separately, in Pairs, in Triples, in Quad and all Five together. The Neural Networks are implemented for all of these different approaches. Neural Networks show the results in form of “Alarm” and “Warning”. The intervals for each sensor in each communication form are shown in the figures below. The Neural Networks are already adjusted and all Weights and Biases are set. All Neural Networks have the same Input Vector which is the current value of each sensor.

Founder Isaac M. Jordan, MIAMI (OHIO) 1857, born on a farm in central Pennsylvania, was 20 years old at the time of Sigma Chi's founding. In a speech he gave in 1884, he delineated the valued criteria for pledging, which is now known as The Jordan Standard. The Jordan Standard calls for: a man of good character, a student of fair ability, with ambitious purposes, a congenial disposition, possessed of good morals, having a high sense of honor and, a deep sense of personal responsibility. In the spirit of that standard, the Kappa Upsilon chapter of Sigma Chi started a scholarship that any current Johns Hopkins University freshman male may apply to receive.
Three scholarships up to $250 will be awarded to the applicants whose responses most reflect our Fraternity's values and ideals. The deadline to apply is November 23rd, 2018.

Intro
Ok, all you barista reading, you don't need to worry about your job being replaced by a robot barista just yet. However, the power of the law of accelerating returns is not to be underestimated. Just a year about a year and a half ago, Bosh unveiled at CES a robotic system that would make your coffee using a fully automatic machine and print your name on the cup. At this year's CES, a new robot from Beijing showed that it can make a cappuccino using a traditional espresso machine with a steaming wand completely on its own (save the cleaning). In this article you will see the results of what remarkable results you can achieve by retraining Google's convolutional neural network, Inception on just over 1000 coffee and tea images.
Methods
The images I used come from five drink categories on ImageNet: hot chocolate, drip coffee, cappuccino, tea and turkish coffee. I had to weed out some broken files and images that surprisingly were clearly did not fit their category. I could have also downloaded latte pictures but saw the data set was filled with pictures that also could have passed as cappuccino from my judgement. The distinction between the two is somewhat arbitrary as they are both essentially just espresso and steamed milk.
Results
Here I downloaded some novel images to see how the classifier stacks up.  The test results were very high (96.7%). However, when fed non-coffee images of drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or even an empty cup, the network was easily fooled. Perhaps there is some advantage in training two networks independently - one to identify a drink in the image and susequently pass it through another network to classify what kind of drink. But it would be much simpler to add "not coffee" as another category along with adequate images to the five drinks network.
Conclusion
If a robot barista is going to make specialty coffee and talk about coffee with its customers, it should definitely look at drinks and be able to tell what they are. There is still work to be done on this subject but we are making remarkable progress.


Last updated: November 15, 2017.
This is a simple multi-part guide to email integrity and anti-spam/anti-spoofing with Sendmail in Ubuntu 16.04+.
Please also read my article on STARTTLS transport security with Sendmail using Let's Encrypt.
This guide is written for compliance with (sending to) Gmail.
Reverse DNS
As a precursor to these instructions, it's important reverse DNS is configured.
Essentially, a reverse DNS lookup on your email server's IP address/es should return a domain to which an A (for IPv4) and/or an AAAA (for IPv6) record exists pointing to the same IP address/es.
Example (Simple)
For example, in my configuration, I send mail from this server (<IP_ADDRESS> and 2001:19f0:5801:2a1:5400:1ff:fe3d:aebd).
A reverse DNS lookup for IPv4 returns aaronhorler.com.
host <IP_ADDRESS>
A reverse DNS lookup for IPv6 returns aaronhorler.com.
host 2001:19f0:5801:2a1:5400:1ff:fe3d:aebd
The A record for the domain points to <IP_ADDRESS>.
dig aaronhorler.com A
The AAAA record for the domain points to 2001:19f0:5801:2a1:5400:1ff:fe3d:aebd.
dig aaronhorler.com AAAA
SPF
SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is a means to authorise the sending of an email from a server. It is configured via DNS.
1. Create an SPF record.
SPF is implemented via a TXT record.
The name for the record should (although may not in advanced configurations) apply to the root domain (this is usually achieved by entering @ or no name, but differs per provider).
For simple Gmail compliance, the value for the record can permit the IP address of a sending server.
My SPF record is (simply) as follows.
"v=spf1 ip6:2001:19f0:5801:2a1:5400:1ff:fe3d:aebd -all"
This record only authorises emails from the public IPv6 address of my server. You can specify an IPv4 address, an IPv6 address, or both. See all options here.
It's important to note that my current email implementation is for outgoing mail to Gmail only. If you intend to send emails to services that may not support IPv6, you need to also include an IPv4 address in the record. You can ignore IPv6 entirely if you don't use it.
2. Test SPF with Gmail.
When testing for Gmail compliance, the simplest test is to send an email to a Gmail address you operate.
In Gmail, open an email sent from the server. Click the downwards arrow (next to the reply button), and select "Show Original".
SPF results are displayed in the summary.
DKIM
DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is a means to authorise the sending of an email via the use of a public and private key pair. The private key is kept private, and used to sign emails. The public key is published via DNS, for use in verifing the signature.
1. Install OpenDKIM.
sudo apt install opendkim opendkim-tools
2. Generate a public and private key pair.
opendkim-genkey -s default -d example.com
Replace example.com with your domain.
This command will generate two files - default.txt and default.private.
3. Advertise your public key via a TXT record.
Your public key is contained in default.txt.
cat default.txt
The output is in bind format.

This needs to be manipulated into a TXT record where the name is default.domainkey

values. Note that the value for p
continues onto a second line.
The string data for the example TXT record from above would be as follows.

4. Move your private key (and set permissions).
sudo mv default.private /etc/dkimkeys/
sudo chown opendkim: /etc/dkimkeys/default.private
sudo chmod 600 /etc/dkimkeys/default.private
5. Configure OpenDKIM.
sudo nano /etc/opendkim.conf
Locate, and change, the following lines.
Domain example.com
KeyFile /etc/dkimkeys/default.private
Selector default
Then, configure OpenDKIM to listen on an unused port on the loopback address.
sudo nano /etc/default/opendkim
Append the following to the file, where 8100 (the port) can be customised.
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>You can verify a port is unused using netstat.
netstat -tulpn | grep :8100
6. Start OpenDKIM.
sudo service opendkim start
There's currently a bug with OpenDKIM that prevents it from properly running.
Verify that OpenDKIM is listening on port 8100 (or the port of your choice).
netstat -tulpn | grep :8100
If it is not listening (netstat will return nothing), follow this solution.
sudo /lib/opendkim/opendkim.service.generate
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo service opendkim restart
OpenDKIM should now be listening on the port.
netstat -tulpn | grep :8100
7. Configure Sendmail.
sudo nano /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
Append the following lines.
INPUT_MAIL_FILTER(`opendkim'<EMAIL_ADDRESS>And, regenerate sendmail.cf.
sudo su
m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
exit
Restart Sendmail.
sudo service sendmail restart
8. Test DKIM with Gmail.
When testing for Gmail compliance, the simplest test is to send an email to a Gmail address you operate.
In Gmail, open an email sent from the server. Click the downwards arrow (next to the reply button), and select "Show Original".
DKIM results are displayed in the summary.
DMARC
DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) is a means to signal a policy for email compliance with your SPF and DKIM records. It's configured via DNS.
1. Create a DMARC record.
DMARC is implemented via a TXT record.
The name for the record should be _dmarc
.
DMARC has many options.
My (strict) DMARC record value is as follows.
"v=DMARC1; p=reject; adkim=s; aspf=s"
This policy instructs clients (Gmail only, in my case) to reject emails that do not strictly comply with my SPF and DKIM records.
Implement this carefully. Note that Gmail recommends its G Suit customers implement DMARC slowly by utilising reports and subjecting only a percentage of messages to filtering.
2. Test DMARC with Gmail.
When testing for Gmail compliance, the simplest test is to send an email to a Gmail address you operate.
In Gmail, open an email sent from the server. Click the downwards arrow (next to the reply button), and select "Show Original".
DMARC results are displayed in the summary.

This demo shows how to--very very simply--construct a publish-subscribe channel that anyone can push to and anyone can read from.
The channel in question is /chatrooms/ireland, which you can start running by ./chat.sh (you'll need to reload the page if you started them in the wrong order)
This is not a terribly gooood chatroom. For one thing, there is zero security, because the server blindly relays messages. But the advantage of that design is that the entire application logic is in this file (view the source to check it out).

## Object Oriented Programming with Javascript
## What is it?
The basic idea behind Object Oriented Programming (OOP) is using
objects to represent real world objects inside our programs.
Objects can contain information and functionality related to the
things we're trying to model.
## Why do you want to use it?
Objects can serve as a convienient way to serve as a blueprint and to
share common data and functionality. You'll often see these types of
objects referred to as a _Class_
In OOP, a class can _inherit_ data and attributes from another class.
When a class inherits from another class we call it a _Child Class_
and the Class that's providing the info the _Parent Class_
The child class will have the same properties and method available as
the parent class.
With most OOP, when calling a method on an object, if there is no
matching method, each parent class will be checked for a matching
method
class -> parent class -> parent class
## Why should you use OOP?
Using inheritance allows us to break up or programs into smaller, more
managable, testable chunks and helps to reduce duplication
Now we know a little about `Objects`, let's see how to create one with
Javascript
```js
var myObject = {}
```
Within our `Objects`, we have `properties` and `values`.
Think of a property as a name or category for the information inside
of `value`. We create our properties like:
```js
var myObject = {
myFirstProperty: "first property value",
mySecodProperty: "second property value"
}
```
Generic examples are boring, so let's create an `Object` with some
information about ourselves
```js
var cody = {
age: 31,
profession: 'Software Developer',
location: 'Denver, CO'
}
```
To get the value of a property of an `Object`,
we can use either _Dot Notation_ or _Bracket Notation_
Dot Notation: **`object.propertyName`**
Bracket Notation: **`object["propertyName"]`**
### Using dot and bracket notation:
```js
cody.age
31
cody["age"]
31
cody.profession
'Sofware Developer'
cody["profession"]
'Software Developer'
```
So far, we've beeen creating our objects using the **object literal
notation**.
We can also use what's called a **constructor**.
To create the same example from above, we can create a new Object
using the new operator and the Object constructor
```js
var cody = new Object();
cody.age = 31
cody.age
31
cody.profession = "Software Developer"
cody.profession
'Software Developer'
```
In the previous example we used a built in constructor called `Object`
that Javascript provides us.
This creates a new object with no properties or methods.
and set our properties one at a time.
Setting these values one at a time gets old pretty quick. Let's make
our own constructor for a `Person`
```js
function Person(age, profession) {
this.age = age;
this.profession = profession;
}
var rick = new Person(60, 'Scientist')
rick.age
60
rick.profession
'Scientist'
```
We dont have to rely only on the values passed to the constructor
We can also set a default value for each new Object that is created with our
constructor
```js
function Person(age, profession) {
this.age = age;
this.profession = profession;
this.school = "Turing School of Software and Design"
}
var john = new Person(28, "Baker");
john.school
"Turing School of Software and Design"
```
We're starting seeing the benefits ot Object Oriented
Programming.
We're creating a default value we dont have to worry
about setting across all of our objects.
We're not just limited to
setting values for properties, we can also create methods in our
constructor that will be available in new objects created from the
constructor.
Constructor with method:
```js
function Person(name, age, profession) {
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
this.profession = profession;
this.school = "Turing School of Software and Design"
this.bio = function() {
console.log("My name is " + this.name + " and I am " + this.age + "
years old. Right now I am a " + this.profession + ". I'm
currently studying at " + this.school)
}
}
```
```js
var me = new Person("cody", 31, "software developer");
// since we're calling a method, instead of retuning the value of a
// property, don't forget to add the brackets to your method name
me.bio();
> "My name is cody and I am 31 years old.
Right now I am a software developer. I'm currently studying at
Turing School of Software and Design
```
Objects are just another _type_ in Javascript the same way that
Arrays, and Strings are. Lets see what creating an Array filled with
Objects looks like
```js
var secondShift = new Array();
var firstPerson = new Person("Mark", 25, "Accountant");
var secondPerson = new Person("John", 28, "Real Estate Agent");
var thirdPerson = new Person("David", 30, "Loan Officer")
secondShift.push(firstPerson, secondPerson, thirdPerson)
```
Let's take a look at our array filled with Person objects...
```js
for(i=0; i < secondShift.length, i++) {
console.log(secondShift[i])
}
```
Since Objects are just another _type_ we can also use them as
parameters for our functions
```js
var sortPersonNames = function(person1, person2) {
var names = [person1.name, person2.name]
var sortedNames = names.sort();
console.log(sortedNames[0] + " is first in alphabetical order")
}
```
Each one of the constructors we've created holds the data and methods
available to objects created from that constructor. In OOP, this is
what we call a _Class_ . When we created a constructor, we're
creating a _prototype_ in Javascript. Think of the prototype as the
blueprint we use to create Objects.
Take a look at how we can define methods on an Object we've created
```js
firstPerson.upperCaseName = function(){
console.log(this.name.toUpperCase());
}
```
if we try to call the method we just created on another object created
from our Person prototype, we'll get an error saying the function
isn't defined.
This is pretty inconvenient and causes a lot of duplication in our code.
It doesn't have to be this way. We can define methods on our
_prototype_ that will be available to all objects created with the
prototype.
```js
Person.prototype.upperCaseName = function() {
console.log(this.name.toUpperCase());
}
```
Now, all objects already created, and all objects that will be created
in the future from our Person class will have the
`upperCaseName` method available to them.
Now it's your turn to create some Javascript Objects!

Donald Trump to 'Strongly Consider' Testifying in Impeachment Probe
President Donald Trump said Monday he would “strongly consider” testifying for the House Democrat-led impeachment probe.
by Charlie Spiering“Even though I did nothing wrong, and don’t like giving credibility to this No Due Process Hoax, I like the idea & will, in order to get Congress focused again, strongly consider it!” Trump wrote on Twitter.
The president responded to a challenge from Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who invited him to testify to the committee.
“The president could come right before the committee and talk, speak all the truth that he wants if he wants,” Pelosi said in an interview on Sunday’s Face the Nation on CBS News.
Trump described Pelosi as a “crazy, do nothing” Speaker who was “petrified” by the leftists in her caucus, and criticized her for failing to pass the USMCA trade deal, infrastructure and lower drug prices.
Trump has appeared willing to testify during investigations in the past, which his White House lawyers typically advised against.


Board by-election nominations open
Nominations for an Ahuriri Community Board by-election open on Monday and close on December 23.
If an election is needed, voting papers will be distributed on January 27 ahead of a February 18 election, the Waitaki District Council confirmed.
There were four nominations for five vacancies in the October election. Brent Cowles, Ross Menzies, Vicky Munro and June Slee were elected unopposed.


Paul Emmerson writes—tersely, it must be said—“Dear Hooting Yard. I have a swan to cook. The recipes are not on the website. Paul.”
There is a very good reason why there are no swan recipes on the website, Paul. All of us here at Hooting Yard are proud to support the Eating Swans Is Unacceptable campaign, and we have signed up to its Charter. Most of us wear the campaign ribbons which, as you know, come in the form of a purple Eating Swans Is Unacceptable ribbon large enough to be wrapped around one's head as a bandanna or headscarf.
So keen are we on this cause that next month, or possibly the month after, we will be holding a special Hooting Yard Open Day, all the proceeds from which will be donated to the campaign. Mrs Gubbins is in charge of the event and she will be issuing a bulletin—decorated with embroideries and brass-rubbings of swans—very soon.
Meanwhile, Paul, please take your swan to the Peter Maxwell Davies Swan Sanctuary as soon as you can. “Sir” Peter, the Master of the Queen's Music, has of course been known to eat the occasional swan himself*, but we sent Little Severin the Mystic Badger round to stare at him with unerring reproach for days on end, and he has seen the error of his ways, thank goodness.
* NOTE : See, for just one example, Roasted Swan Song : Peter Maxwell Davies Gets Into Legal Trouble Over an Ill-Fated Waterfowl.

I had worked as a software developer at NetApp Inc. for around 2 years, where I proposed diagnostic software and automation test procedures to automate system level validations.
Not only interested in infrastruce or system, it's extremely passionated for me to dedicate in kinds of software development and much motivated to learn as much as possible.
A proactive, responsible and self-motivated learner.
Here is my curriculum vitae, last upadated July 2020.


The in list operator combines its terms with OR logic. The search returns all substances that exactly match any of the terms. Multiple search terms are each separated by the "|" (pipe) character.
Inserting a pipe character into the "Search Term(s)" input box will update the expression to use the in list operator.
When the in list operator is selected, clicking on an AutoComplete result will append the selected term to the "Search Term(s)" list and append another pipe character. Only the characters in the final term are used to generate the AutoComplete results, and only these characters are replaced when selecting an AutoComplete result. All prior terms are ignored and left unchanged when generating and using the AutoComplete results.
At least two terms are required for a valid in list expression. When accessing the API via a link or address in a browser window (a GET request), the maximum number of terms is only limited by the maximum number of characters in the complete URL. Typically this is around 4,000 characters total.
Asterisks serving as wildcards may not be used with the in list operator. Only exact matches will return results.

Introduction
This is a compilation of lessons I've learned while learning to code in HTML and CSS. In the future I may expand it to include Javascript.
Although I explored, and tinkered with front-end web development in the past, I never stuck with it. Then in about 2018 I discovered the freeCodeCamp site and curriculum. For some reason it made all the difference in my interest level and desire to continue learning.
I'm creating this page to fulfill one of the freeCodeCamp front-end development assignments, and as a journal of techniques for my own reference.
Lessons
Lesson 1: Use reference pages
When I'm writing code I like to reference the documentation. Here is a list of my favorite reference pages.
HTML
CSS
Lesson 2: Use a code linter
I ran across this suggestion when I was searching for a solution for a specific CSS issue. However, I didn't know what a "linter" was, nor how to use it. Thankfully, I found a great explanation on Wikipedia.

BROKEN ARROW A film review by Michael John Legeros Copyright 1996 Michael John Legeros
(Fox) Directed by John Woo Written by Graham Yost Cast John Travolta, Christian Slater, Samantha Mathis MPAA Rating "R" (presumably for violence and language) Running Time 108 Minutes Reviewed at General Cinemas at Pleasant Valley, Raleigh, NC (9FEB96)
==
The first Big Action Movie of the year opens, appropriately enough, in a boxing ring. In this corner is John Travolta, a test-pilot-gone- bad who's stealing nukes and demanding ransom. His challenger is Christian Slater, his copilot and supposed friend. Their playpen is the Utah Canyonlands, where Travolta has ditched their B-3 Stealth bomber and is planning Bad Things if Uncle Sam doesn't pay.  Together, they chase the Comeback Kid via plane, train, boat, moat, and Humvie, as only SPEED scribe Graham Yost could imagine.
Behind the lens is legendary action director John Woo (HARD BOILED, HARD TARGET), who seems a mere shadow of his usual self. Sure, he brings a unique rhythm to an already too-familiar formula, but his action sequences lack the fluid finesse that Woo is world-renowned for. No bone breaking ballet here, just the occasional over-the-top thrill. Such as Mathis and Slater evading a crashing helicopter's tail rotor. Or the film's final twenty minutes, set aboard a hijacked freight train.
All told, BROKEN ARROW is entertaining enough. The script is lively, Travolta is a blast as a badass, and John Woo is effective enough, even at quarter-speed. Unfortunately, there's not much that *anyone* can do with the more, uh, erroneous casting choices. Christian Slater is hardly larger-than-life, but some viewers will probably accept him as an action hero. Samantha Mathis, however, is just plain awful. What's she doing here? The inclusion of, say, Travolta's GET SHORTY costar Delroy Lindo we can understand. Even former NFL player Howie Long is an acceptable addition. But looks-all-of-twenty-years-old Frank Whaley as a Pentagon "suit?" Maybe the casting director was thinking John *Hughes*.

1. Amazon.com. I like Amazon so much because you can order practically anything. I've ordered everything from graphic novels to dog food to car parts from this site. Amazon can be overwhelming and time-consuming, but there is so much content to sift through if you are looking for the best prices. Aside from a front page plastered with special deals and sale items, you can easily navigate the site from the search bar at the top, or the department drop-down menu on the top left. They have a one-click order feature which makes purchasing really easy.
2. Baseball America. Baseball America is the source for all things minor league baseball. If you are a fan of player development and scouting, this is a great resource for historical data, rankings, and opinion pieces on the farm systems of major league franchises. The overall site design is simple, streamlined, and easy to navigate. The sidebar to the right can take you to all major sections of the site. The central focus of the page is the cycling photos and captions that can take you to the most recent content.
3. Zergnet. This site is created to be a hub for any article, whether external or self created, dealing with geek culture. Visually, the site is claustrophobic and cluttered with images and captions of articles as far as the eye can see. Being a sci-fi, comic, and to a lesser extent, videogame fan, it is the content that brings me back to this site. Though there are many images on the main page, they are sized large enough that I can find the articles I want to read and ignore the others. While not doing the world any bit of good, this site is purely candy, with easily consumable entertaining content.


How to choose the right root image analysis software
In this post, I will try to point out the most important characteristics you will have to consider while choosing your root image analysis software.
Very often, there is a strong link between an experimental design and the software used to treat the root images. Be careful that you should not be designing your experiment according to the available software in your lab, but the other way round. As there is more and more available software, the field of possible analysis widens. Do not hesitate to** try different software** to find the one that suits your needs.
The type of measurement
As I just said, the software you will use to analyze your data will depend on your experiences needs. Check out which kind of measurement is performed by every software before picking one.
The raw image type and quality
Both the image type (jpg, tiff, …) and quality can restrict the number of potential root software you might use for your analysis. Some software can only open a limited number of image type and most of them were designed for a specific kind of image (scanned roots, mini-rhizotrons, …).
Free or commercial
The main advantage that commercial software offers is a guarantee of quality and support. As long as you pay for it, you will get something in return (at least in principle).It might seem obvious, but the advantage of free software is that you do not pay for them. This might be an important point as research teams do not always have money to buy costly products. Be aware that some freeware are built on commercial frameworks such as Matlab. In this case, if you do not have this framework already installed on your computer, you will have to buy it before being able to install the desired freeware.
About quality:
There exist some very good quality freeware that can compete with commercial ones. There is two ways you can check the quality of a freeware: you try it yourself or you check if there is a scientific paper describing the software and if other people are using it. Just type the name of the software in the ISI database, Scopus or Google Scholar to find it out.
About support:
Lets face it, commercial softwares offer better user support than free ones. Freeware support often depends on the developer who might not even be working on that project anymore. And for specific software, a support team is often and advantage
The degree of automation
We can divide root analysis software according to their degree of automation (or user input, which is the exact opposite): fully automated,** semi-automated and fully manual**.The ideal solution, especially if you have a lot of image to analyze, is obviously to choose a fully automated software. The perfect software would, indeed, allow you to choose any kind of measurement, load any kind of image and perform the analysis by itself. There is just one problem: this software does not exist (yet). Here are two reasons why:
-Actual automated analysis rely on the image kind. They are often designed for one specific type of image (time-series, mini-rhizotron, …) -Automated software often analyze a limited number of variables (length, diameter, …)
If we look at all the available software, we can generally observe a trade-off between their degree of automation and their flexibility.So if your images and needs match the requirements and capabilities of an automated software, it will work great. If they do not match, these software might not be able to analyze you image and if they do, they might generate false results. In such case, you will have to choose a less automated solution.Even if you do not choose a fully automated solution, it is possible to limit the amount of work during the analysis. Depending on the type of variable you want to retrieve, you can restrict the analysis to part of the image. As an example, it is possible to a have statistically significant estimation of† root diameters by looking at selected part of the root system. A global analysis is not always required.
The portability of the data
Once you are done analyzing your root images, it is important that you can use the generated data for further analysis. The image analysis is often the very first step in the overall analysis pipe and if your software gives you useless data files, there is not point using it.In my opinion, you should be able to export you data to free standards such as csv, txt or xml and not only to proprietary types.
The user interface
This might seem stupid, but the user interface could be an important factor while choosing a software. If you plan to spend hours analyzing images, a crappy user interface† can quickly become counter-productive.The user interface as to be intuitive (you do not want to search the correct button every time you want to perform an action) and efficient (a sub-sub-sub-menu is not a right choice for an important tool). You might also want an interface having a nice design, but this is optional…
In conclusion
The biggest constrain while choosing a root image analysis software is often the adequacy between the measurement you plan to make and the capabilities of the software. All the other constrains can be circumvent one way or an other. Just try out the different software to found your perfect match.
