*mulled spiced cranberry juice- There are many recipes for creating a 'mulled' juice or wine. Based on using a 1-liter carton of cranberry juice we suggest a combination of 1 sliced lemon and 1 sliced orange plus the zest from 2 additional fruits combined with fresh grated ginger, cloves, nutmeg, allspice, and cinnamon—all to your taste.
Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and simmer for around 45 minutes. Be careful not to boil. Strain and chill well before use. Store in the refrigerator and the juice will last for around 1 week. For best results prepare mulled spiced cranberry juice at least 24 hrs. in advance.

I don't know if I was the only one who ever felt this way, but I was a little hesitant to try the stuff. It was, after all, coke, something I had never heard anything nice about. But we all feel like experimenting sometimes, don't we? And that was simply the day for me.
Once I had my drugs in my hand, and once it was my turn in rotation, I loaded up the stem and took my first hit. I was told to hold the smoke as long as I could, and so I did. Once I exhaled I noticed my lips and tongue got really tingly, nearly numb. My heart was speeding up. But most importantly, for some reason, everything was all right. Any problems I had had before, or anything that was worrying me at the time, was completely GONE.
I suddenly felt extremely emotionally attached to everyone around me, and I told them so. I was so much more opened up. I didn't hold anything back. If I thought the girl sitting in front of me was beautiful - I told her. If I was head over heals in love, more so than I had ever been before, with the guy sitting next to me - I whispered it in his ear. NOTHING held me back from expressing myself in any way. I read poetry and looked at paintings. I just had the urge to, and I got every one of them. I saw their inner meanings, the thought behind them, the beauty in each and every one. And I loved that feeling.
But everything THAT good comes with a price. Coming down from the high, which only lasts about 10-30 minutes for me, is almost emotionally painful. Also, I think I may have smoked a little bit too much that time. It was a really rough night once I had gotten home. I couldn't sleep. I finally got 2 hours of it, but it was already daytime. I was extremely nauseated, I had a raging headache, and sometimes I had some really odd thoughts. For example, for about 5 minutes straight, although it seemed like much longer, I was convinced I was going to die. Convinced! I thought I had somehow OD'd. But, of course, I didn't die. How else would I be telling you this story?
There were also mild hallucinations. I have a poster across from my bed, and while I was looking at it, the faces disappeared. Their heads were there, but no features. Also, you know how you see things in your peripheral vision? Like when you see something move out of the corner of your eye? Yeah, you're not supposed to see that stuff head on. It scared me pretty bad. The worst hallucination that night was looking at my trash can and seeing, for a split second, a human hand with moving fingers. I closed my eyes, shook my head, and then looked again, and it was gone. My whole body ached too. And I was afraid to take any medication because I didn't know how it would react with the coke in my system.
I'd do it again, I'd just be more careful with how much I smoked.

JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK (2001) 3 stars out of 4. Starring Jason Mewes, Kevin Smith, Ben Affleck, Shannon Elizabeth, Will Ferrell, Jason Lee, Chris Rock, Ali Larter, Brian Christopher O'Halloran, Seann William Scott, George Lucas, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill. Written and directed by Kevin Smith. Rated R.
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back can rightfully be subtitled "Kevin Smith's Greatest Hits" for the film is comprised of numerous references and characters from Smith's earlier works including, Clerks, Mall Rats. Chasing Amy and Dogma.
So, be advised: Bone up on that cinematic quartet in order to achieve the maximum enjoyment from Smith's latest outing.
Kevin Smith must be a very likable person because several good sports took a ton of kidding in this feature, most notably Miramax, the studio whose subsidiary, Dimension Films, is Jay and Silent Bob's distributor. Others deserving accolades include Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, directors Gus Van Zant and Wes Craven and the mighty George Lucas.
This is a laugh-filled, foul-mouthed road film with Jay (Jason Mewes) and Silent Bob (Smith) hitching to Hollywood to sabotage Miramax's production of Bluntman and Chronic, comic book characters based on the two Jersey slackers.
Jay's convoluted reasoning is that if the film is shut down, people on the Internet will stop insulting him and Bob, even though it is not him and Bob the people are dissing, but rather their comic book counterparts.
No matter, the duo begin their long trek hitching rides across the country. But first they get some tips from a veteran hitchhiker, played by George Carlin, who tells them to follow "the book" - the rules of the road.
Of course Jay's interpretation immediately gets the duo in trouble with a friendly nun (Carrie Fisher) who offers them a ride.
Jay and Silent Bob contains enough laughs that the movie's weaker aspects - which include a lame subplot about a girl gang of diamond thieves as well as a buffoonish federal park ranger played by Will Ferrell - can be easily tolerated.
Really, how can you not laugh at a film in which our heroes are picked up by the Mystery Van, and Jay has a pot-induced hallucination concerning Velma and Daphne.
The movie's highlight, though, is near the finale. In Hollywood, Jay and Silent Bob sneak onto the Miramax lot where they crash the set and are mistaken for extras of the latest Affleck-Damon picture, Good Will Hunting 2: Hunting Season.
Here we are privy to a hilarious conversation between Affleck and Damon in which the two put down each other's careers and film choices.
And the laughs continue to grow. Next up is Jason (American Pie) Biggs and James (Dawson's Creek) Van der Beek, the actors chosen to portray Bluntman and Chronic. The pair mistake Jay and Silent Bob for their stunt doubles.
Finally, comes a Star Wars homage featuring one of the stars of that legendary feature. This bit will leave you howling.
Smith's obvious affection for pop culture icons is evident in the way he shoots these scenes and handles his performers. He allows them to play it all tongue-in-cheek. Their fun comes through the screen to the audience.
It is too bad that this is Jay and Silent Bob's swan song. The characters have grown since their supporting role debuts in Clerks. But Smith realizes that times have changed, and he doesn't want his creations to overstay their welcome.
So Smith has provided them with just the right kind of exit, saving the best for last.
Goodbye Jay and Silent Bob. At least you're going out with a blast.

Drought forgotten as the district enjoyed a harvest under the stars at Bellata
by Sophie HarrisThe worries of the drought were forgotten for a night as the Bellata, Moree, Narrabri and surrounding communities came together for a different type of "harvest" this year.
The second annual Harvest Under the Stars event was once again a huge success, as about 250 people from across the region enjoyed a night out at Bellata Golf Club on Saturday, November 9.
"It went off well," organiser Drew Penberthy said.
"It was a relaxed night; we had good reports from everyone. We had a lot of people ring up afterwards and say 'thank you, it was good to get out and catch up with people'."
Two bus-loads of people from Narrabri and a bus-load from Moree attended Harvest Under the Stars 2.0, along with a local bus full of Bellata residents. People also travelled from some of the other small villages in the Moree and Narrabri shires.
Mr Penberthy is hopeful that next year there won't be another Harvest Under the Stars, at least not at this time of the year, as people will be busy with an actual harvest.

Is Intelligence Enough
Education must also train one for quick, resolute and effective thinking. To think incisively and to think for one’s self is very difficult.
We are prone to let our mental life become invaded by legions of half truths, prejudices, and propaganda. At this point, I often wonder whether or not education is fulfilling its purpose. A great majority of the so-called educated people do not think logically and scientifically.
Even the press, the classroom, the platform, and the pulpit in many instances do not give us objective and unbiased truths. To save man from the morass of propaganda, in my opinion, is one of the chief aims of education. Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, and the facts from the fiction.
The function of education, therefore, is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. But education which stops with efficiency may prove the greatest menace to society. The most dangerous criminal may be the man gifted with reason, but with no morals.
The late Eugene Talmadge, in my opinion, possessed one of the better minds of Georgia, or even America. Moreover, he wore the Phi Beta Kappa key. By all measuring rods, Mr. Talmadge could think critically and intensively; yet he contends that I am an inferior being. Are those the types of men we call educated?
We must remember that intelligence is not enough. Intelligence plus character–that is the goal of true education. The complete education gives one not only power of concentration, but worthy objectives upon which to concentrate. The broad education will, therefore, transmit to one not only the accumulated knowledge of the race but also the accumulated experience of social living.

Citroen quits World Rally Championship
by Staff WriterWith Sebastien Ogier deciding to leave the team, Citroen has axed its WRC programme.
Citroen has quit the World Rally Championship (WRC) with immediate effect, claiming the decision was made because lead driver Sebastien Ogier is leaving the team.
The French firm has a storied history in the WRC, winning nine consecutive drivers’ championships with Sebastien Loeb between 2004 and 2014, and eight manufacturers’ titles during that period. But it has struggled to compete with Toyota and Hyundai in recent years, finishing third in this year’s team’s championship. Ogier – who has won six drivers’ titles with Volkswagen and M-Sport Ford – completed the 2019 season in 3rd place in the drivers’ standings.
Ogier had started his works career with Citroen in 2009 and he returned to the firm this season on a two-year deal. But his unhappiness with the competitiveness of his C3 WRC became clear during the year. He is widely expected to switch to the title-winning Toyota squad for 2020. Finn Esapekka Lappi also drove for the team this year.
In a statement, Citroen Racing said that “following the decision of Sebastien Ogier to leave Citroen Racing after 2019 WRC season, Citroen decided to withdraw from its WRC programme in 2020 due to the absence of a first-class driver available for 2020 season”.
With sister firm DS a frontrunner in Formula E and Peugeot gearing up to return to the World Endurance Championship with a hybrid supercar in 2022, Citroen had been expected to leave the WRC in the coming years – but it is still a surprise for the firm to leave so quickly.
Citroen has shifted the focus of its road car line-up to emphasise comfort and electrification in recent years and away from performance-focused models, making its WRC programme an odd fit. The release added that the decision would enable it to “reinforce the focus of its marketing means on its brand strategy, to address the current stakes regarding energy transition with the launch of a new generation of electrified models from 2020".
Citroen boss Linda Jackson said: “Our decision to withdraw from WRC programme as early as end of 2019 follows on Sébastien Ogier’s choice to leave Citroen Racing. We obviously have not wished this situation but we could not imagine the 2020 season without Sébastien.
“I would like to thank the Citroen Racing team for their passion and commitment. A part of Citroen’s DNA is intimately linked with the rally and we are proud to be one of the most titled brands in WRC History with 102 victories and eight manufacturer titles.”

General election 2019: Tories top donation list for first election week
The Conservatives have raised £5.7m in the first week of the official election campaign, according to the Electoral Commission.
The Tories received 87% of registered donations in that period, figures show, while Labour raised a total of £218,500.
The Lib Dems received £275,000, whilst the Brexit Party raised £250,000.
But the figures do not represent all donations, as only those above £7,500 have to be reported.
The biggest gift to the Tories was £1.5m from theatre producer and regular donor John Gore.
Meanwhile, the largest single registered donation to Labour was £62,000 from the Unite union, led by Jeremy Corbyn ally Len McCluskey.
BBC political editor Laura Kuenssberg said the figures showed an "astonishing gap in fundraising".
The discrepancy between the two main parties is even wider than in the first week of the 2017 campaign, when the Tories raised £4.1m in comparison to the £2.7m received by Labour.
In addition, BBC political correspondent Chris Mason said he understood the Conservatives had raised more than £4m in unregistered smaller donations since the beginning of the election campaign.
This is four times the £1m in small donations - averaging £26 each - that Labour says it has received over the same period.
In the first week of the current campaign, the Green Party raised £30,000 in registered donations - half the £60,000 raised by the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland.
This is the first UK-wide election when pre-poll donations and loan reports have been published for parties in Northern Ireland.
Money received during the other weeks of the five-week official election campaign will be detailed in later releases.
For Labour, 70% of registered donations came from unions.
For the Conservatives, 47% of the party's donations came from individuals, with the remainder coming from companies.
The party received £500,000 from investment firm WA Capital and the same from property company Countywide Developments.
Another Tory donor, Lubov Chernukhin, the wife of a former minister for Russian President Vladimir Putin, gave £200,000 in the same period.
The biggest donor to the Lib Dems was wealth management firm Attestor Services, which gave £75,000.
Financier Jeremy Hosking, a former donor to the Vote Leave campaign, was the biggest donor to the Brexit Party with £250,000.

BASIC INSTINCT A review in the public domain by The Phantom<EMAIL_ADDRESS>(As we are currently suffering from a serious horror drought, the Phantom thought he would take this opportunity to branch out into the world of the exploitation film and make the big-budget soft-core BASIC INSTINCT the subject of his first review. The Phantom feels that reviewing exploitation films is well within his artistic reach, even though the two genres are so markedly different. In a horror film, we watch as first someone is murdered, then someone else disrobes, then someone else is murdered, etc. In an exploitation film, on the other hand, we watch as first someone disrobes, then someone is murdered, then someone else disrobes, etc. The Phantom will, of course, endeavor to keep that subtle distinction in mind as he writes his reviews, and if at any time he feels himself not well enough qualified to critically appraise the myriad nuances of the exploitation genre, he will return to the familiar world of the horror film without hesitation.)
The Phantom needed little more inducement to lay down his $7.50 for Paul Verhoeven's latest film than that which was provided by the high-concept plot summary: cynical, burnt-out cop becomes mysteriously (and dangerously, if we may be so bold) attracted to beautiful, rich, naked bisexual woman who does/does not kill people with an ice pick.
Any six words in that sentence would be enough to part the Phantom from his hard-earned money; but the tantalizing thought that a film might contain all thirty was enough to transport him to exploitation film heaven. After all, even if only a handful of those words were fully exploited by the film, BASIC INSTINCT would still be quite a slam-bang, action-packed, sex- and violence-drenched exercise in voyeurism with little or no obvious redeeming social value -- the very definition of a successful and wildly entertaining exploitation film.
Add to the mix Paul Verhoeven's reputation as a director for whom the ordinary limits of taste and restraint have little or no meaning -- and Sharon Stone's reputation for being, well, rather easy on the eyes without any clothes on -- and the Phantom's expectations were high indeed as he ventured uptown to see BASIC INSTINCT in THX sound (the idea being that THX sound would show off Jerry Goldsmith's score to best advantage, or at least make it loud enough to drown out the sounds of the Lexington Avenue line as it rumbled underneath the theater; when one lives in New York, loudness and quality frequently go hand in hand).
But somewhere between the idea and the execution, something went a little wrong. Perhaps Joe Eszterhas delivered only a rough outline for his $3 million story; perhaps coherent endings -- like batteries for cheap toys -- are not included for such a paltry sum of money. (Aside to Tri-Star: assuming you're not yet in bankruptcy and you need an ending for your next exploitation film, the Phantom is ready and willing to provide one -- one that even makes sense -- for the low, low price of only $9,999.95. Have your people call my people and we'll do lunch.)
Whatever the reason, though, BASIC INSTINCT's biggest problem is its script. Even before the film limps to its shockingly shoddy conclusion, signs that trouble is on the way appear to us with the passing of nearly every scene. Eszterhas has the characters doing any one of three things at each point in the film: getting into a car; driving in a car; getting out of a car; walking up to a doorway; knocking on a door; walking through a doorway; walking into a room; walking out of a room. And having sex, of course. Sometimes characters do more than one of these things in a single scene; sometimes characters do more than one of these things at a time. But quite a lot of BASIC INSTINCT is given over to these nine activities, and after about a half hour, the audience begins to realize that something is missing. Real life, for a start. At no point in BASIC INSTINCT do we ever feel that the characters exist in the real world; Eszterhas has effectively created a very closed, claustrophobic and artificial world for a film that can only be effective when we see the effects of the story line on the characters' "external" lives. One of the reasons FATAL ATTRACTION was so successful is that we were able to see Michael Douglas' character as a real person -- someone with whom we might possibly identify or at least sympathize -- and not as just one more cardboard character being stalked by a Jasonized killer. Consider, too, Jimmy Stewart in VERTIGO, a film that encompasses the very definition of an improbable and artificial plot. Yet watching it, we never get the sense that Stewart is simply going through the motions; instead, we feel that he's a real person who gets caught up in extraordinary events -- a hallmark of Hitchcock's greatest work, and the bare minimum needed for successful and effective suspense.
After the script, BASIC INSTINCT suffers from another common problem: that of a talented director of niche films directing something well beyond his range as a director. Verhoeven is one of the best when it comes to violent, action-packed techno-thrillers like ROBOCOP and TOTAL RECALL; however, putting aside the few killings that Eszterhas' script calls for, the bulk of BASIC INSTINCT is given over to the relationship between Douglas and Stone. It is a plot tailor-made for Brian DePalma (and in a better and more refined time, for Alfred Hitchcock), who proved he could handle just this sort of story in BODY DOUBLE. Verhoeven even pulls a DePalma when he lifts the steamy kissing sequence from NOTORIOUS; alas, it's one of the few scenes in which Douglas and Stone generate any real heat. Of course, they're seen naked in and out of bed, together and apart so many times that it becomes almost boring; yet this only proves that athletic sex is not an adequate substitute for genuine interest, even though we as an audience have our eyes glued to the screen all the while. Verhoeven, whatever his talents, has yet to learn that graphic violence is usually a poor substitute for genuine horror; and that soft-core pornography is almost always a poor substitute for genuine passion. Apparently Verhoeven operated on the principle that if it wasn't possible to show a car chase or a murder, the story would be advanced best by having either Douglas or Stone disrobe; while this seems like a reasonable idea at the beginning of the film, by about mid-way through even the sight of Douglas' naked rear-end -- featured prominently in a scene that was apparently designed as a showcase for his derriere -- fails to lift our spirits or hold our interest.
It is because we never believe that Douglas is deeply and emotionally involved with Stone that BASIC INSTINCT begins to fall apart; without our emotional commitment, what difference does it make whether or not Stone is the killer? Thus all of the artificial plot twists and turns come to naught, and by the time the credits roll we feel that perhaps some vital part of the film had been cut. Contrast this with the denouement of VERTIGO: by the time Hitchcock ends his classic film, we've strongly identified with Jimmy Stewart and thus we can share his pain and bewilderment; in other words, we can have a genuine emotional experience. BASIC INSTINCT is a cheat, because all we get to do is watch.
Sadly, even Jerry Goldsmith doesn't come through for us in his usual exemplary fashion. His score attempts to place BASIC INSTINCT squarely in Hitchcock's world, but try as it does, it never quite fits with the action on screen. Perhaps this is because Verhoeven is unable to generate any sustained suspense; perhaps it is because the audience is relegated to the role of voyeur rather than partner as the film unfolds. In any case, Goldsmith's score tends to pounce on us at unlikely times and attempt to coerce us into feeling anxious. Half the time -- and even as Eszterhas has his characters knocking on doors or walking around outside houses -- Goldsmith's score keeps swelling up in the background, itself growing somewhat tiresome and repetitious as it pounds away at inert scene after inert scene. The other half of the time, we're all too busy waiting for Douglas and Stone to take their clothes off to notice whether Goldsmith is still hammering away with his quasi-Hitchcockian score or whether he's switched to a test of the Emergency Broadcast System.
This said, the Phantom should hasten to add that BASIC INSTINCT is by no means a terrible film -- it's just not a very good one. DePalma could get away with his incessant references to and liberal borrowings from Hitchcock because his films stood on their own merits, and because he was able to take plot snippets and ideas with which we were all familiar and give them his own special gloss (that being straight-razor murders and Melanie Griffith in her underwear). Whatever their faults, DRESSED TO KILL and BODY DOUBLE are stylish, entertaining and fun -- each the very definition of a successful exploitation film. (Leonard Maltin disdains BODY DOUBLE and calls it "another sleazy fetish film," which only goes to show that he wouldn't know a good exploitation film if it stabbed him with an ice pick. Coincidentally, the Phantom has himself used the phrase when describing a film, but only when his phrase-O-matic is set to "high praise"; after all, if we don't all want to go see "another sleazy fetish film," what do we want to see?)
And BASIC INSTINCT does have its pluses: the two biggest being Sharon Stone and Sharon Stone without any clothes on. Both she and Douglas both do as well as can be expected, given the unlikely plot, near-illiterate script and given that they're forced to spend much of their screen time "****ing like minks", to use three charming words we get to hear on at least a half dozen occasions. (One of these scenes later is described by Douglas as "the **** of the century", which gives you a pretty fair indication of the level of Mr. Eszterhas' script.) There is also the now-infamous "interrogation scene," which features Ms. Stone's legs and other parts of her anatomy. This scene is wildly over-directed by Verhoeven, whose ever-so-subtle touch has the actors frantically pantomiming embarrassment as Ms. Stone makes herself more comfortable; if this were the 1920s and had not the miracle of sound recording become part of our lives 60 years ago, the interrogation scene would likely be more believable than it is. (It *was* affecting, however, in its own overwrought way.)
The film's resolution is a disappointment to all, and in fact is so bad that the Phantom wonders who -- other than Mr. Eszterhas -- could possibly have liked it or thought it an appropriate way to end a suspense thriller. It is only a small consolation that by the time we reach the film's final scene, we have long since ceased to care what happens to Douglas and Stone or even who the killer really is. In writing BASIC INSTINCT, Eszterhas has mistaken Hitchcock's famous "MacGuffin" for the film's central theme; instead of concentrating on the characters and using the murders as a convenient way for them to become further involved -- emotionally involved -- with each other, Eszterhas' script spins its wheels as clue after pointless clue is revealed to an audience that longs not for MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS, but REAR WINDOW.
Speaking of which, Hitchcock's classic films are, as always, readily available at your local Blockbusters; phans who don't plan on (ice) picking BASIC INSTINCT for their weekend's entertainment would be well advised to rent any of the (much better) films from which Eszterhas and Verhoeven have liberally borrowed. And if the Phantom's memory serves, three minutes of Grace Kelly or Kim Novak fully clothed are more likely to capture our interest and attention than 30 minutes of Sharon Stone proving that she doesn't wear any underwear. At the very least, you won't have to look at Jimmy Stewart's naked rear-end, which is practically reason enough to rent one or more of these classic films and avoid BASIC INSTINCT.

--- title: Grain Boundary Tutorial sidebar: documentation_sidebar permalink: BoundaryTutorial.html folder: documentation toc: false ---
A quick guide to grain boundary analysis
To work with grain boundaries we need some ebsd data and have to detect grains within the data set.
{% highlight matlab %} % load some example data mtexdata twins % detect grains [grains,ebsd.grainId,ebsd.mis2mean] = calcGrains(ebsd('indexed')) % smooth them grains = grains.smooth % visualize the grains plot(grains,grains.meanOrientation) {% endhighlight %} {% highlight plaintext %} ebsd = EBSD Phase Orientations Mineral Color Symmetry Crystal reference frame 0 46 (0.2%) notIndexed 1 22833 (100%) Magnesium LightSkyBlue 6/mmm X||a*, Y||b, Z||c* Properties: bands, bc, bs, error, mad, x, y Scan unit : um grains = grain2d Phase Grains Pixels Mineral Symmetry Crystal reference frame 1 121 22833 Magnesium 6/mmm X||a*, Y||b, Z||c* boundary segments: 3825 (1152 µm) inner boundary segments: 4 (1.2 µm) triple points: 114 Properties: meanRotation, GOS ebsd = EBSD Phase Orientations Mineral Color Symmetry Crystal reference frame 0 46 (0.2%) notIndexed 1 22833 (100%) Magnesium LightSkyBlue 6/mmm X||a*, Y||b, Z||c* Properties: bands, bc, bs, error, mad, x, y, grainId, mis2mean Scan unit : um ebsd = EBSD Phase Orientations Mineral Color Symmetry Crystal reference frame 0 46 (0.2%) notIndexed 1 22833 (100%) Magnesium LightSkyBlue 6/mmm X||a*, Y||b, Z||c* Properties: bands, bc, bs, error, mad, x, y, grainId, mis2mean Scan unit : um grains = grain2d Phase Grains Pixels Mineral Symmetry Crystal reference frame 1 121 22833 Magnesium 6/mmm X||a*, Y||b, Z||c* boundary segments: 3825 (1020 µm) inner boundary segments: 4 (0.99 µm) triple points: 114 Properties: meanRotation, GOS {% endhighlight %}Now we can extract from the grains its boundary and save it to a seperate variable
{% highlight matlab %} gB = grains.boundary {% endhighlight %} {% highlight plaintext %} gB = grainBoundary Segments length mineral 1 mineral 2 606 183 µm notIndexed Magnesium 3219 837 µm Magnesium Magnesium {% endhighlight %}The output tells us that we have 3219 Magnesium to Magnesium boundary segments and 606 boundary segements where the grains are cutted by the scanning boundary. To restrict the grain boundaries to a specific phase transistion you shall do
{% highlight matlab %} gB_MgMg = gB('Magnesium','Magnesium') {% endhighlight %} {% highlight plaintext %} gB_MgMg = grainBoundary Segments length mineral 1 mineral 2 3219 837 µm Magnesium Magnesium {% endhighlight %}A variable of type grain boundary contains the following properties
These can be used to colorize the grain boundaries. By the following command we plot the grain boundaries colorized by the misorientation angle
{% highlight matlab %} plot(gB_MgMg,gB_MgMg.misorientation.angle./degree,'linewidth',2) mtexColorbar {% endhighlight %}

In the last decade, deep learning has revolutionized the research fields of audio and speech signal processing, acoustic scene analysis, and music information retrieval. In these research fields, methods relying on deep learning have achieved remarkable performance in various applications and tasks, surpassing legacy methods that rely on the independent usage of signal processing operations and machine learning algorithms. The huge success of deep learning methods relies on their ability to learn representations from sound signals that are useful for various downstream tasks. These representations encapsulate the underlying structure or features of the sound signals, or the latent variables that describe the underlying statistics of the respective signals.
Despite this success, learning representations of audio with deep models remains challenging. For example, the diversity of acoustic noise, the multiplicity of recording devices (e.g., high-end microphones vs. smartphones), and the source variability challenge machine learning methods when they are used in realistic environments. In audio event detection, which has recently become a vigorous research field, systems for the automatic detection of multiple overlapping events are still far from reaching human performance. Another major challenge is the design of robust speech processing systems. Speech enhancement technologies have significantly improved in the past years, notably thanks to deep learning methods. However, there is still a large performance gap between controlled environments and real-world situations. As a final example, in the music information retrieval field, modeling the high-level semantics based on local and long-term relations in music signals is still a core challenge. More generally, self-supervised approaches that can leverage a large amount of unlabeled data are very promising for learning models that can serve as a powerful base for many applications and tasks. Thus, it is of great interest for the scientific community to find new methods for representing audio signals using hierarchical models, such as deep neural networks. This will enable novel learning methods to leverage the large amount of information that audio, speech, and music signals convey.
The aim of this session is to establish a venue where engineers, scientists, and practitioners from both academia and industry, can present and discuss cutting-edge results in representation learning in audio, speech, and music signal processing. Driven by the constantly increasing popularity of audio, speech, and music representation learning, the organizing committee of this session is motivated to build, in the long-term, a solid reference within the computational intelligence community for the digital audio field
The scope of this proposed special session is representation learning, focused on audio, speech, and music. Representation learning is one of the main aspects of neural networks. Thus, the scope of this proposes special session is well aligned with the scope of the IJCNN, as the current special session is focused on a core aspect of neural networks, which is the representation learning.
The topics of the special session include (but are not limited to):

This is a set of statistics retrieved from various IRC networks. How many networks were queried is shown. These stats do not represent every IRC network out there, just the ones we've been able to scan. Specific versions are normalized to just the IRCd version number (x{.x}, i.e. 3.5.2)
, and other information is ignored when assembling that table.
Statistics are often misleading and can be used to push agendas based on how they are presented. The statistics here ARE NOT normalised or weighted based on user count, and we DO NOT filter out networks with very low numbers of users.
These stats present a misleading picture of the IRC software and features typically encountered by users because they are presented based only on sheer number of instances. Adding weighting and filtering based on user count is planned, but hasn't been implemented yet simply due to time.
Don't trust these statistics. Don't trust ANY IRC statistics unless you can see exactly how they are weighted / processed, and experiment with how weighting and filtering based on user counts and other metrics changes the stats to give you a more complete picture of them.
This site is a WORK IN PROGRESS and will be updated as the statistics collection and display is improved. These statistics should not be used in anything other than curiosity's sake at this point.

This represents the IRC daemons we found in use when connecting to networks. Major versions of IRC daemons are displayed separately. Network-specific versions of IRC daemons are generally displayed as a part of the original IRC daemon.

Teen slashed outside of Brooklyn high school: cops
by Daniel CassadyA 15-year-old boy was slashed in the neck and arm outside of a Brooklyn high school on Monday morning, cops said.
The brutal attack happened at around 8:45 a.m. in front of George Westinghouse High School in Downtown Brooklyn, according to cops.
The assault came after a dispute between the boy and an unknown person, and the attacker fled the scene, police said. It was not immediately clear whether either was a student at the school, cops said.
The boy was taken to Brooklyn Hospital Center where he was in stable condition, police said.

Optimization with LES Data¶
The main routine contained in runLESanalysis.py
performs model optimization and bias correction using Large Eddy Simulation (LES) data from WRF-SFIRE. This routine is not required for running the plume rise model in predictive mode. Default bias parameters stored in config.py
will be sourced for all general cases.
Note
Running this part of the code requires access to interpolated cross-sectional data from WRF-SFIRE generated synthetic plumes.
Raw synthetic data used for development and optimization of this model can be obtained from: Moisseeva, N. , Stull, R. (2020) WRF-SFIRE LES Synthetic Wildfire Plume Dataset. Federated Research Data Repository. https://doi.org/10.20383/102.0314
Sample code for interpolating and cross-sectioning raw files can be found in:
./tools/interpolate_make_crosssect.py
