It’s hard to talk about because it shouldn’t have happened.
Chris Theil was planning to intern with a music festival over the summer. He divided his time between the cello and guitar while studying music production at Hocking College.
Hannah O’Harra-Brown, who was studying physical therapy at Hocking, worked at Bagel Street Deli and made sure to tell her mother how much she loved her life.
Brad loved Ohio University from the start, even though, as he puts it, his “focus was not academics by any means.”
The three didn’t know each other. Like a lot of college students, they were living in the moment.

In May 2008, Theil was found in the bathroom of a Riverpark Towers apartment. He was hunched over the bathtub; his girlfriend, an OU student, lay beneath him in the water. They both died at 22 years old from an accidental overdose of heroin and alcohol during Moms Weekend.
More than two years later, in December 2010, O’Harra-Brown was drinking and took oxycodone. The 21-year-old died in her sleep.
And in 2012, Brad, who asked to only be identifed by his first name for this report due to the stigmas associated with addiction and recovery, started to abuse Vicodin. Less than a year later, high on heroin for the first time, he walked down Court Street knowing he would probably use again.
He spent his last few months in Athens driving up Route 33 to Columbus a few times a week to buy heroin. He graduated in 2013.
Nobody else who took those rides with him graduated.
“When I was using, I never even thought about it,” Brad said. “You don’t realize the gamble that you’re taking with your life.”
The epidemic of prescription opioid painkillers, heroin and resulting accidental overdose deaths can be just a faraway headline — someone else’s tragedy, or something you’re completely unaware of — until you’re on the other side of it.
Some people told O’Harra-Brown’s mother, Melissa, that she could attribute Hannah’s death to a freak accident.
It never gets easier to talk about, Melissa O’Harra-Brown, a nurse practitioner in Logan, said. But she won’t hide what happened.
Just like it’s hard for Brad to talk openly about his addiction, now that he’s been clean for three years. Just like it has been immensely frustrating for Lauren Kuhn, Theil’s younger sister, who lost her brother-in-law, too, to an accidental overdose death in November.
“We all want to think that we’re somehow smarter, better, brighter, that it would never happen to us,” O’Harra-Brown said.
Through her tears — as painful as it may be — she’s one of many who asks that society starts talking.
There were more than 33,000 overdose deaths involving an opioid in the U.S. in 2015.
For context, that’s about double the size of the undergraduate student population enrolled at Ohio University’s Athens campus for Spring Semester 2016: 16,974 undergraduate students.
That’s a particularly grim statistic, especially when one considers that those 33,000 deaths occurred across the country. About 2,500 of those 2015 opioid overdose deaths were in Ohio.
Description: Fentanyl is a prescription opioid typically used during anesthesia or to treat patients with severe pain, though recent overdoses have been connected to illegally produced, trafficked fentanyl, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The drug is highly potent and is sometimes mixed with heroin to amplify its effects.
Description: Prescription opioid drug users began to turn to heroin due to its increasing availability throughout Ohio. Additionally, prescribing guidelines began to strengthen, according to a 2014 report from Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s Opiate Action Team, making heroin an often cheaper alternative. There were 87 heroin deaths in 2003, according to data from the Ohio Department of Health. The overdose death rate for heroin was more than 16 times that in 2015.
There is no short way to describe the opioid epidemic in full, except, perhaps, that it was triggered by the lax prescribing guidelines attached to legal painkillers, such as oxycodone and hydrocodone.
Years later, that led to widespread heroin and prescription opioid addiction, spikes in crime, the advent of so-called “pill mills,” doctor shopping and overdose deaths. Ultimately, dozens of health providers, law enforcement officers, advocates and family members of addicts were thrown to the front lines of a problem that seemed to have no true end in sight.
Some medical professionals say the epidemic is rooted in a letter to the editor published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1980, wherein Jane Porter and Dr. Hershel Jick shortly summarized that fewer than 1 percent of the 11,882 patients they treated with narcotics became addicted.
Then, a decade later, pain gained recognition as the “fifth vital sign,” despite its inability to be properly measured. To treat that chronic pain, doctors were increasingly expected to prescribe opioids.
One February morning, Athens City-County Health Commissioner Dr. James Gaskell attempted to describe the history of the problem.
He thought back to when he was a pediatrician in the early ‘90s and an Ohio Medical Board member came to him and other physicians at OhioHealth O’Bleness Hospital, saying they weren’t prescribing enough painkillers because they were afraid they would be looked upon unfavorably. And those opioids were once feared for their particularly addictive chemical compounds.
What happened next, he said, was an overreaction on the medical field’s part.
“They were trying to make the point that we were letting people die in pain, that we needed to provide pain relief,” Gaskell said. “We took it more generally, and that was sort of the beginning of it all.”
The opioid drugs mimic endorphins by attaching to proteins referred to as “opioid receptors” to reduce the perception of pain in a patient, often producing a sense of well-being and relief.
However, repeated use can inhibit the brain’s ability to feel pleasure naturally, lessening the drug’s effect and prompting users to take a higher dose as their tolerance increases. As time goes on, some opioid users are unable to feel comfortable without the drug.
Heroin, which has a similar pharmacological makeup, also activates those same opioid receptors. The drug began to spike in popularity as the street worth of prescription painkillers steadily rose.
  But that addiction is so strong that they’re going to do what they have to do to continue that addiction,” Athens County Sheriff Rodney Smith said.
Now, it’s more than just addiction to the typical prescription opioids, which actually saw a slight decrease in overdose deaths in 2015.
Heroin and synthetic opioids such as fentanyl — considered 30 to 50 times stronger than heroin — have driven the epidemic’s narrative toward drugs that kill quicker and with a greater frequency.
And if you want to see where the needle on the epidemic began to switch from a handful of addicts to an onslaught of overdose deaths, look no further than the data that Dr. Joe Gay, executive director of Health Recovery Services in Athens, collects with widely acknowledged fervor.
“I love numbers, always have,” Gay said.
A member of the 317 Board first approached him in 2007 to ask if he had seen a spike in heroin use. Gay told the board member he hadn’t. At the time, the data just wasn’t there.
When a supervisor came to him shortly after in 2008 and reported an increasing number of patients seeking help for addictions to heroin, Gay started crunching the numbers. Clinicians told Gay he had “jinxed” them. Heroin just didn’t happen in Appalachia, where he was used to treating patients for alcoholism.
What happened next “scared the devil” out of him, he said — especially since people were injecting the drug.
In spring 2010, Gay looked at data from the Ohio Department of Health that showed the relationship between opioids prescribed and overdose death rates in the state from 1997 to 2007 and ran a correlation coefficient — a measure of the linear relationship between two variables, with a perfect, positive relationship being 1.0.
Any student who has taken a basic statistics course knows: Correlation does not necessarily imply causation. But the correlation between opioid drugs distributed per 100,000 and accidental drug overdoses was .979.
Gay assumed he had to be wrong. It was just too high. He called Orman Hall, who would go on to become the director of the Ohio Department of Alcohol and Drug Addiction Services, and left a voicemail with the results to double-check. He soon heard back from Hall that it had to be “bulls--t.” Gay checked again. Then Hall calculated the same result.

After her older brother’s overdose death, Lauren Kuhn attended another funeral for a young addict. Then another. Then another.
She watched as four young lives ended due to opioids in the three months after her brother, Chris, was found dead in May 2008.
Theil’s addiction started with a prescription, she said. Like a lot of teenage boys in Dublin, where they grew up, he was into skateboarding and snowboarding. As a result, he secured a handful of injuries. He broke his wrist his freshman year of high school and was prescribed Percocet and Vicodin. He started using heroin about a year later.
He bounced in and out of treatment several times, and his arm was nearly amputated by doctors after he continued to shoot into an infected area. But then, Kuhn said, he finally got clean, went to college and even called her the night of his death to talk about his internship.
“For as well as he was doing, we kind of thought it was in the clear,” Kuhn said.
Brad, too, said he has attended more funerals than some one his age should have to.
By the time he started abusing Vicodin in 2012, he said painkiller use had exploded on campus. Less than a year passed between his first time taking an opioid drug and the realization that he had become a “full-blown” heroin addict.
When people jumped to heroin, that’s when the problem became harder to ignore: People started dying.
But even then, at the same time that more earth was being hollowed across Ohio for young men and women who died from opioid addiction, Kuhn remembers being frustrated by how little people spoke of it — especially in the quiet, well-off Dublin community where she was raised.
It’s been nine years since her brother died, and for so long she has felt alone in recognizing just how devastating the epidemic has become. Only in the past two years have people really talked about it.
“There’s so much denial,” Kuhn said.
Some addicts still think their fate is in their own hands. Kuhn’s brother-in-law left three children behind when he died, she said, convinced he could beat his addiction before heading to treatment. Others can’t get access to care in the first place. Theil’s best friend died of an overdose too, waiting for a spot in a treatment center.
As a result of those deaths, states and municipalities continue to file lawsuits against some of the country’s largest opioid drug manufacturers, like Purdue Pharma — the manufacturer of OxyContin — Johnson & Johnson and Endo International, while others, such as West Virginia, have sued distributors of the drugs, such as McKesson Corp.
In 2007 — more than a decade after OxyContin was introduced to the market — one such case against Purdue Pharma resulted in three executives pleading guilty in federal court to allegations that they had misled patients, doctors and regulators through false marketing about the adverse effects of OxyContin, for which they were forced to pay $600 million in fines.
“It was not enough money to make a difference,” Gaskell said of the lawsuit. “Unfortunately, it’s going to fall to the taxpayer to pay for this. The federal government is going to have to get more and more involved ... there has to be more funding provided for treatment.”
That’s one reason why Bill Dunlap said the epidemic might grow to become a much bigger monster before it’s tamed.
Dunlap serves as the deputy director of the 317 Board, which coordinates and funds services for alcohol dependency, drug addiction and mental health in Athens, Hocking and Vinton counties. After working with the board for about two decades, his energy has been almost entirely devoted to combating opioid addiction by any financial means available for the past few years.
“It’s out there: People are addicted and they’re not getting into treatment,” Dunlap said. “We’re doing everything we can, but the system is not working at full-throttle as it should.”
Dunlap took a seat at the head of the table in the Hocking County Health Department in Logan on March 23 and tried to draw a path out of the opioid epidemic with a room of health professionals, counselors, addiction service providers, law enforcement and recovering addicts.
He’s been doing that for years. The motions are familiar now.
Hocking County’s opiate task force is where solutions typically start, Dunlap said. He has led the group in its monthly meetings since 2011, when the task force was established. Since then, a task force has also been developed in Athens.
Still, Hocking County’s task force remains the most active, Dunlap said.
The 317 Board’s opiate task forces promote awareness of the epidemic or drug-free alternative activities for local teenagers. Task force members have also researched which recovery and prevention models worked in their communities — such as trauma-informed care or wraparound treatment services that attempt to address an addict’s individual, unmet needs — all while manning the gates of the epidemic.
Dunlap told the room that the board will be throwing itself into complicated grant proposals to try and draw money to the region following the recent passage of the 21st Century Cures Act, through which Ohio expects to receive $26 million over a two-year period to fund programs that will address the opioid crisis.
That’s what Southeastern Ohio counties often grapple with most when trying to establish programs.
At that meeting in March, Hocking County Municipal Court Judge Fred Moses sat opposite from Dunlap, frustrated. The two men work closely together; Dunlap often attends Moses’ highly successful Vivitrol Drug Court each week.
It’s more than just money. Moses said the “little people” like those serving on their task force are going to be ignored while the culture of the epidemic still rages on — funding or not.
“The truth is, we can do all we want, we can cooperate all we want, but heroin is a byproduct,” Moses said. “It’s not the cause.
“Until people are ready to tell the medical community to quit giving out so many pain pills ... it’s going to keep going on,” he continued.
Ben Holter, pharmacy manager at Shrivers Pharmacy in Nelsonville, points to the Ohio Automated Rx Reporting System and its reports as one method of simply limiting the amount of prescription opioid painkillers being pumped into patients’ hands.
The program, often referred to as OARRS, collects information on prescriptions for controlled substances dispensed by Ohio-licensed pharmacists or personally furnished by prescribers. It’s something pharmacists can check before filling a prescription to see if it’s legitimate or to see if the patient has been doctor shopping.
 He addresses everyone with a warm “how are we doing?” And his drug court is a space where recovering addicts can speak honestly to a judge who shares a bathroom with the public courthouse in a small town of about 7,000 people. When they graduate to another phase of their treatment, they’re awarded a neon-green shirt with “VIV” on its front.
Dunlap shows that shirt proudly, saying those in the program designed it themselves. The “VIV” stands for what they feel when they graduate: valor, integrity and victory.
There is a way out of addiction, Dunlap said. Moses’ drug court proves that.
Still, there’s much more that has to be done before the epidemic can begin to be considered curbed: reduce the level of opioids prescribed and in circulation, promote awareness and prevention from an early age and ensure a wide range of resources are available for those at-risk, such as mental health care or access to jobs.
“We’ve created this problem ourselves, and now we have to reel it in,” Dunlap said.
And there are many battles ahead for advocates yet, Dunlap said. The Ohio Association of County Behavioral Health Authorities, which represents the interests of groups such as the 317 Board at the state level, is looking to use federal funding for nine stabilization centers at $1 million each, $6 million for crisis centers and then $12 million to be dispersed to the boards to address the opioid epidemic within each of their respective communities for the state’s 2018-19 biennial budget.
And that funding will only begin to cover some of the area’s needs.
We’re not getting out of this epidemic anytime soon, O’Harra-Brown said, unless we ensure every individual addict is met with the level of care that any person with a diagnosed disease would have access to. As a nurse practitioner, she sees patients every day who desperately want access to addiction treatment.
A photo of her daughter floating in blue water hangs above her desk. It can be exhausting to tell the story of Hannah’s accidental overdose death again and again, she said.
Through the Athens County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Interdiction Unit, local law enforcement agencies have realized that opioid drug abusers should be offered recovery services instead of just jail time, Athens County Sheriff Rodney Smith said. The agency’s focus has been on stopping those who are trafficking or dealing drugs, and in educating the public on the dangers of the epidemic.
“We want people to know that we do see this as a medical issue, not as a criminal issue,” Smith said. “We want to reach out as much as we can and bring in as many resources as we can to these addicted people and let them know that they’ve got somebody they can call.”
Still, she has spoken to thousands of students through Hope Blooms, an organization founded by friends and family soon after her daughter’s death, to educate students about how quickly one can become addicted and that prescription drugs aren’t always necessarily safe, especially when combined with alcohol.
She stands before those students — about 650 at Lancaster High School when Hope Blooms visited in March — and shares that photo of her daughter, among others. She would rather be doing anything else in the world. It makes her cry. It’s painful.
“If it saves someone else from suffering from what my family suffered, I can make myself uncomfortable,” O’Harra-Brown said. “I can make myself sad. I can make myself do it.”

 She questions her impact or whether society is getting any closer to slowing the epidemic of overdose deaths.
But others, students will approach her after she talks. They’re glad someone talked about it. Someone has to.
“It’s just like anything else, you just have to keep chipping away at it,” O’Harra-Brown said. “That’s really all you can do.”

Time to catch up with some of the expected fallout from last Thursday's Impugned By A Peasant. Over at Think Of England, Brit provided a link to what he called “a terrifying tale”, prompting this response from Peter Burnet:
Bah! Bloody Euros! No wonder you're in terminal decline. You get impugned by a peasant and you go all artsy-fartsy and spin it into an meandering tale of cravats, bouffants and existential turmoil. Want to know how we in the New World handle that kind of stuff? Just check out the economical prologue to Dan Brown's new novel:
“I was once impugned by a peasant, so I shot him. It haunted me until dinnertime.”
Meanwhile, at the weekend, I had a dream in which I was impugned by a sort of seaside variety of peasant. I was sitting in a dockside cafeteria, drinking coffee with a couple of friends I have not actually seen for a decade or so. We watched as various animals disembarked from a steamship. I pointed to one, and said excitedly:
“Look, half a cow with no head!”
That is indeed what I saw.
Thus was I impugned, in my dream.


Timing of drop condemned
by Laura MillsThe New Zealand Deerstalkers Association (NZDA) is demanding answers over the scheduling of some West Coast 1080 drops, saying fawns could starve if the poison drops go ahead.
The NZDA, the country's leading hunting organisation, said yesterday it had become aware of several applications from Ospri and the Department of Conservation to use aerial 1080 in the run-up to Christmas.
A 1080 drop is scheduled to begin today in the Kahurangi area, and it was understood another operation is due to begin soon in the Landsborough valley in South Westland.
The NZDA is condemning the planned poisoning.
NZDA national president Trevor Chappell said the timing was unacceptable.
"These drops coincide with late spring when deer are giving birth to their fawns and that means not only are the mothers at risk of dying a painful death if they eat the 1080, the orphaned fawns will be left to starve to death," he said.
"This is just not on. This is a major animal welfare issue for deer and if these government organisations want to be seen as humane, they should not be conducting mass poisoning campaigns at this time of year."
In previous years, mass poisoning operations had finished by this time, he said.
The tahr cull was halted from November to prevent orphaned kids starving to death in the mountains.
Conservation Minister Eugenie Sage told RNZ there was a crisis for native species due to the mega mast this year.
The alternatives to fawns dying was birds being killed, she said.
It was spending $250,000 on deer repellent in the Cobb Valley and Kahurangi.
When asked if the drops could wait, she pointed out the huge number of rats which washed up on Westport beach.
They had to use fine weather windows, she said.
Game Animal Council chairman Don Hammond said it supported efforts to protect native birds.
"We are not promoting 1080 but understand the need."
It was working with Doc regarding deer repellent.

Security
Glossary
- CORS - Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS).
- CSRF - Cross-Site request forgery (CSRF) is an attack that forces an end user to execute unwanted actions on a web application in which they’re currently authenticated.
- XSS - Cross-site scripting (XSS).
CORS
The same-origin policy protects users by disallowing websites to retrieve information from other websites of different origins. An origin is the triple {protocol, host, port}. Two resources are considered to be of the same origin if and only if all these values are exactly the same.
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing allows relaxing of the same-origin policy. CORS defines a way in which a browser and server can interact to determine whether or not it is safe to allow the cross-origin request.
This standard extends HTTP with a new Origin
request header and Access-Control-Allow-Origin
and Access-Control-Allow-Methods
response headers. It allows servers to use a header to explicitly list origins and HTTP methods that may request a file or to use a wildcard and allow a file to be requested by any site. XMLHttpRequest
s to a target origin from a different source origin will be blocked if the server did not allow CORS for source origin.
CSRF
XSS vulnerabilities allow attackers to bypass essentially all CSRF preventions.
Protection
- Verifying Same Origin with Standard Headers
- There are two steps to this check:
- Determining the origin the request is coming from (source origin).
- Determining the origin the request is going to (target origin).
- Examine the
Origin
, Referer
and Host
Header values.
- Synchronizer Tokens
- The CSRF token is added as a hidden field for forms or within the URL.
- Characteristics of a CSRF Token
- Unique per user session
- Large random value
- Generated by a cryptographically secure random number generator
- The server rejects the requested action if the CSRF token fails validation.
- Double Cookie
- Cookie-to-Header Token
- On login, the web application sets a cookie containing a random token that remains the same for the whole user session
Set-Cookie: Csrf-token=i8XNjC4b8KVok4uw5RftR38Wgp2BFwql; expires=Thu, 23-Jul-2015 10:25:33 GMT; Max-Age=31449600; Path=/
- JavaScript operating on the client side reads its value and copies it into a custom HTTP header sent with each transactional request
X-Csrf-Token: i8XNjC4b8KVok4uw5RftR38Wgp2BFwql
- The server validates presence and integrity of the token.
- Security of this technique is based on the assumption that only JavaScript running within the same origin will be able to read the cookie’s value.
- JavaScript running from a rogue file or email will not be able to read it and copy into the custom header. Even though the
csrf-token
cookie will be automatically sent with the rogue request, the server will be still expecting a valid X-Csrf-Token
header.
- Use of Custom Request Headers
- An alternate defense which is particularly well suited for AJAX endpoints is the use of a custom request header. This defense relies on the same-origin policy (SOP) restriction that only JavaScript can be used to add a custom header, and only within its origin. By default, browsers don’t allow JavaScript to make cross origin requests. Such a header can be
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
.
- If this is the case for your system, you can simply verify the presence of this header and value on all your server side AJAX endpoints in order to protect against CSRF attacks. This approach has the double advantage of usually requiring no UI changes and not introducing any server side state, which is particularly attractive to REST services. You can always add your own custom header and value if that is preferred.
- Require user interaction
- Require a re-authentication, using a one-time token, or requiring users to complete a captcha.

HTTPS
HTTPS is HTTP over SSL/TLS. Servers and clients still speak exactly the same HTTP to each other, but over a secure SSL connection that encrypts and decrypts their requests and responses. The SSL layer has 2 main purposes:
- Verifying that you are talking directly to the server that you think you are talking to.
- Ensuring that only the server can read what you send it and only you can read what it sends back.
TLS Handshake
// TODO. Crosscheck and add in more details.
- The client computer sends a
ClientHello
message to the server with its Transport Layer Security (TLS) version, list of cipher algorithms and compression methods available.
- The server replies with a
ServerHello
message to the client with the TLS version, selected cipher, selected compression methods and the server’s public certificate signed by a CA (Certificate Authority). The certificate contains a public key that will be used by the client to encrypt the rest of the handshake until a symmetric key can be agreed upon.
- The client verifies the server digital certificate against its list of trusted CAs. If trust can be established based on the CA, the client generates a string of pseudo-random bytes and encrypts this with the server’s public key. These random bytes can be used to determine the symmetric key.
- The server decrypts the random bytes using its private key and uses these bytes to generate its own copy of the symmetric master key.
- The client sends a
Finished
message to the server, encrypting a hash of the transmission up to this point with the symmetric key.
- The server generates its own hash, and then decrypts the client-sent hash to verify that it matches. If it does, it sends its own
Finished
message to the client, also encrypted with the symmetric key.
- From now on the TLS session transmits the application (HTTP) data encrypted with the agreed symmetric key.
Downsides of HTTPS
- TLS handshake computational and latency overhead.
- Encryption and decryption requires more computation power and bandwidth.

WHO says close to 80% of Singapore’s adolescents are not active enough
by Lamont Mark SmithCouch potato lifestyles have become the norm.
A large majority of Singapore teenagers do not get enough exercise, said the World Health Organisation (WHO) in a report released last Friday (Nov 22).
Overall, 76.3 per cent of Singapore adolescents, aged 11 to 17, had insufficient physical activity in 2016, as compared to 81.2 per cent in 2001.
Based on a study of 1.6 million people across 146 countries, the organisation found that more than 8 in 10 teenagers globally did not meet current recommendations of at least one hour of physical activity per day – including 78 per cent of boys and 85 per cent of girls.
However, the figures for Singapore have shown an improvement over the 15 year period, especially among boys, WHO said.
The prevalence of Singapore boys who had insufficient physical activity dropped from 77.7 per cent in 2001 to 69.7 per cent in 2016, making the Republic one of only six countries which saw a decrease of more than five percentage points.
As for Singapore girls, 83.1 per cent did not get sufficient exercise in 2016, a slight improvement from the 84.9 per cent observed in 2001.
South Korea is most inactive
Globally, in 2016, Philippines was the country with the highest prevalence of inactive boys (92.8 per cent), whereas South Korea had the highest prevalence of inactive girls (97.2 per cent) and both genders combined (94.2 per cent).
On the contrary, Bangladesh was the most active, registering the lowest prevalence of insufficient physical activity among boys, girls, and both genders combined (63.2 per cent, 69.2 per cent and 66.1 per cent, respectively).
Singapore’s adolescents also had more physical activity as compared to their regional counterparts, almost nine per cent lower in prevalence than the East and South-east Asia (which does not include Singapore and South Korea) average of 85.5 per cent.
In neighbouring Malaysia, 86.2 per cent of teenagers do not get enough exercise, while Cambodia had the highest figure in the region, with 91.6 per cent of adolescents being inactive.
In addition, the study found that there was a “significant global difference” between sexes in 2016, particularly in high-income countries such as Singapore, the USA and Ireland – which all showed an “absolute difference” in prevalence of more than 13 percentage points.
Out of the 146 countries studied, girls were only more active than boys in four countries: Afghanistan, Samoa, Tonga and Zambia.
Dr. Leanne Riley, a co-author of the study, said that the “trend of girls being less active than boys is concerning”.
“More opportunities to meet the needs and interests of girls are needed to attract and sustain their participation in physical activity through adolescence and into adulthood,” she said.
“Countries must develop or update their policies and allocate the necessary resources to increase physical activity,” added co-author Dr. Fiona Bull.
According to WHO, exercise during adolescence improves respiratory and muscular fitness, supports cognitive development and socialising, and helps to maintain a positive weight.
Current evidence also suggests that many of these benefits carry into adulthood, it added.

Hollywood / 1:55 / 1997 / PG (intense childbirth, brief sexuality) Cast: Jennifer Jason Leigh; Ben Chaplin; Albert Finney; Maggie Smith; Judith Ivey Director: Agnieszka Holland Screenplay: Carol Doyle
Because Academy Award nominations are just around the corner, autumn is the one season that brings around a surplus of big "small" films -- motion pictures that may boast strong credentials but rely more on powerful story-telling than showy special effects to wow you over. Most of these movies are period pieces, and most of these period pieces have been among the best filmmaking of our time -- 1993's "The Age of Innocence," 1994's "Little Women," 1995's "Sense and Sensibility" and last November's "The English Patient." This year's hopeful appears to be "Washington Square," and whether or not it's got the potential to be Oscar bait has yet to be seen due to its early-fall release date.
Adapted from the Henry James novel, "Washington Square" tells the story of Catherine Sloper (Jennifer Jason Leigh), an heiress who lives in the titular New York estate in the mid-1850s. Catherine's birth killed her mother, and she has spent her entire life listening to resentful remarks from her wealthy physician father (Albert Finney) that she holds none of his late wife's beauty, charm or elegance. Catherine's whimsical Aunt Lavinia (Maggie Smith) dismisses her brother-in-law's harsh criticism and tries to encourage her aloof, shy niece.
At a party, Catherine attracts the attention of alluring wastrel Morris Townsend (Ben Chaplin, last seen in "The Truth About Cats and Dogs"). Overcome with the prospect of a loving relationship, she whole-heartedly commits herself to Morris. Mr. Sloper, however, has other ideas, namely that the young, penniless man has ulterior motives -- that instead of wanting her, he might want her money -- and threatens to cut Catherine off financially if she marries him.
After Hollywood's recent obsession with Jane Austen ("Clueless," "Emma," "Persuasion" and "Sense and Sensibility"), it's completely reasonable that they should move onto Henry James -- "Washington Square" is the second James adaptation (after last winter's "The Portrait of a Lady") in less than a year, and his "The Wings of the Dove" is scheduled for release next month. Those put off by "Portrait"'s bizarre execution needn't worry at this James go-around, because "Washington Square" is told in a much more accessible, straightforward manner. The story is extremely easy to be pulled into because, presumably, we can all relate to the awkwardness and confusion Catherine feels.
As far as acting is concerned, "Washington Square" is flawless. Leigh, usually cast as problem-plagued yuppies, makes a strong case as to why she should do period films more often. She's exhibits a strong, emotional presence, and when her heart breaks, so does ours. Smith steals the movie with her dotty characterization; when Lavinia secretly meets Morris in a house of ill repute, her suggestive mannerisms brighten the proceedings up to an unbelievably lively level. Chaplin and Finney are excellent in very difficult roles. Their subtle, focused acting allows us to read their motivations differently at various times. Is Morris offering pursuit for a monetary gain? Or is Mr. Sloper simply underestimating his daughter's beauty? Chaplin and Finney are so good at masking their impetuses that when these questions are finally answered, it's a shock.
Also on display in the film is my wonderful Baltimore locale, with Union Square making a surprisingly exceptional substitute for Washington Square. (Who knew how gorgeous the place would look with all of the drug needles swept up?) To be fair, though, everything in this movie sparkles with period detail; the costumes, the art direction, the set design, the original score -- they all contribute to every accurate, beautiful spectacle. All of the high-level technical credits never allow "Washington Square" to look bad for a single moment -- even a scene where Catherine collapses in the rain on a muddy street is a sigh-worthy sight.
Director Agnieszka Holland showed off her visual prowess for adapting the classics a few summers ago with "The Secret Garden." That was a nice movie, but with "Washington Square," she has created a place to go back to again and again. Eloquence can often hide missteps, but not here -- it heightens the film's uncountable strengths. From opening credits to final scene -- which, by the way, is done with applause-inducing originality -- "Washington Square" is an honestly majestic gem.

REVIEW: Saving Private Ryan By Luke Buckmaster<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Cast: Tom Hanks, Tom Sizemore, Matt Damon, Edward Burns, Jeremy Davies, Vin Diesel, Adam Goldberg, Barry Pepper, Giovanni Ribisi Director: Steven Spielberg Screenplay: Robert Rodat
Australian theatrical release date: November 19, 1998
On the Buckmaster scale of 0 stars (bomb), to 5 stars (a masterpiece): 5 stars
Only hours after viewing this film, horrifying images of war and sacrifice haunt my mind. I know these will last for days, maybe weeks. Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan is as much about the devastation of war as it is the nature of human sanity. This off and on director challenges the influence and power of contemporary cinema, pushing the boundaries of his medium as far as he can go and stops just before bursting into horror and trepidation. Spielberg pulls all the right cinematic strings, but ultimately Saving Private Ryan is more of an experience than it is a movie.
The first half-hour or so is undoubtedly one of the finest pieces in film history. It is an excruciating scene set in Ohama Beach, Normandy, at the time of the D-Day massacre. Cameras pans across the shoreline and land, capturing American soldiers fighting as they try to reach the offending troops, many gunned down from higher ground. The tension is almost unbearable.
Captain John Miller (Tom Hanks) is the commanding officer of a team consisting of eight men. They are assigned to an unusual mission: to find and retrieve Private James Ryan (Matt Damon), whose mother has received telegrams and a visit from the priest after her other three sons were killed in action. General George Marshall decides that Ryan will make it home, so Miller and his crew contemplate risking their eight lives to save one. Rationalizing between the mission and the men is never an easy thing for Miller to do; but this time, the mission is a man.
The sheer visceral force of Saving Private Ryan is enough to evoke all sorts of reactions, but Spielberg's intentions are more than just to shock his audience. With the aid of writer Robert Rodat's (Fly Away Home) potent screenplay, he examines all aspects of war, whilst never losing sight of developing character and setting. This makes the battle of governments and tactics appear as something much more individual, as each of the eight men convey their unique demeanors and try to make sense of a ludicrous war.
Even after his expert performances in Philadelphia, Forrest Gump and Apollo 13, Tom Hanks has managed to step up a few notches. Hanks plays Miller deliberately restrained; he doesn't look like a glorified hero, he looks like an ordinary man outside of his comfortable environs. Rodat has crafted Miller as a mysterious leader who is bound by personal motives to earn his way back to his wife, back to civilization. "Each person I kill makes me feel further away from home," Miller explains, as his feelings begin to unravel.
Jeremy Davies is painfully realistic as Cpl. Upham, a translator who has never been in combat before. His harrowing portrayal of a weak willed man is amongst the film's finest. Tom Sizemore gives a strong performance, as does Matt Damon, as does Edward Burns, as does Barry Pepper. The entire cast is electric.
Even more impressive than the performances is the stark cinematography by Janusz Kaminski (Schindler's List, The Lost World) and the tight direction from Spielberg. In many scenes hand held cameras were used to great effect, and they stylize the film with a mixture of clarity and radiate an overall look of uniqueness. Saving Private Ryan's visual overture is fast paced and convincing, as if the events on screen were as realistic as the war itself.
Deliberately more sentimental that Spielberg's other World War II masterpiece Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan is actually an epic movie, packaged as very much an American flick by the identical opening and closing images - an US flag waving in the wind. As one of the great directors of our time, Steven Spielberg has re-assured us that a picture can tell a thousand words, and it is those pictures of war and sacrifice that will continue to lurk in my mind. Saving Private Ryan almost beckons us not to label it as a film. It's an experience.

Compute set of vectors/orientations in a plane.
v = rotplane(n,chi); v = rotplane(n,chi12,nChi); [phi,theta] = ...
This function computes vectors in a plane perpendicular
to the vector n
. E.g. if n=[0 0 1]
, the
vector represents the z axis, and the computed vectors lie all in
the xy plane.
chi
is a list of in-plane angles for the wanted vectors.
If a two-element array chi12
and a number nChi
are given,
the function generates vectors for nChi
angles between
chi12(1)
and chi12(2)
.
v
is an array with one vector along each column. All vectors have
unit length.
phi
and theta
are the polar angles for these vectors.
rotplane
first constructs two in-plane unit vectors a
and b
that form a right-handed cartesian coordinate system with n
.
The projection onto the xy plane of a
has the same direction as that of
n
. b
is perpendicular to both a
and n
and always lies in the xy plane. chi
then denotes the clockwise
(not counterclockwise) angle off the a
axis. A value of 0 gives the a axis,
and a value of 90° gives the b axis.
Here is how you can get the x and the y axis from the z axis.
v = rotplane([0 0 1],[0 -pi/2])
v = 1.0000 0.0000 0 1.0000 0 0
Here is a list of 10 vectors in a plane perpendicular to [1 1 1]
.
v = rotplane([1 1 1],[0 pi],5)
v = 0.4082 0.7887 0.7071 0.2113 -0.4082 0.4082 -0.2113 -0.7071 -0.7887 -0.4082 -0.8165 -0.5774 -0.0000 0.5774 0.8165

SIS 1.0 Release notes
Summary
Apache SIS 1.0 can marshal and unmarshal metadata in XML documents using the new ISO 19115-3 standard.
The previous ISO 19139 standard is still supported and automatically recognized at unmarshalling time.
This release contains also improvements in reading netCDF files
and a beginning of raster support.
Incompatible changes
The following changes in Apache SIS 1.0 are incompatible with SIS 0.8:
DirectPosition1D.ordinate
— the field has been renamed coordinate
for consistency with terminology used in ISO 19111 international standard.
DataStore.getOpenParameters()
— return type has been changed from ParameterValueGroup
to Optional<ParameterValueGroup>
.
DataSet.getEnvelope()
— return type has been changed from Envelope
to Optional<Envelope>
.
TransformSeparator
— behavior change: if the desired source dimensions were not explicitly specified,
then the source dimensions that are not required for producing the desired target dimensions are automatically trimmed.
- The
sis-gdal
module released in Apache SIS 0.8 has been excluded from this release.

IntroductionThis document provides an overview of how to use HttpClient safely from within a multi-threaded environment. It is broken down into the following main sections: Please see the MultiThreadedExample for a concrete example. MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManagerThe main reason for using multiple theads in HttpClient is to allow the execution of multiple methods at once (Simultaniously downloading the latest builds of HttpClient and Tomcat for example). During execution each method uses an instance of an HttpConnection. Since connections can only be safely used from a single thread and method at a time and are a finite resource, we need to ensure that connections are properly allocated to the methods that require them. This job goes to the MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager. To get started one must create an instance of the MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager and give it to an HttpClient. This looks something like: MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager connectionManager = new MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager(); HttpClient client = new HttpClient(connectionManager); This instance of HttpClient can now be used to execute multiple methods from multiple threads. Each subsequent call to HttpClient.executeMethod() will go to the connection manager and ask for an instance of HttpConnection. This connection will be checked out to the method and as a result it must also be returned. More on this below in Connection Release. OptionsThe MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager supports the following options:
In general the connection manager makes an attempt to reuse connections for a particular host while still allowing different connections to be used simultaneously. Connection are reclaimed using a least recently used approach. Connection ReleaseOne main side effect of connection management is that connections must be manually released when no longer used. This is due to the fact that HttpClient cannot determine when a method is no longer using its connection. This occurs because a method's response body is not read directly by HttpClient, but by the application using HttpClient. When the response is read it must obviously make use of the method's connection. Thus, a connection cannot be released from a method until the method's response body is read which is after HttpClient finishes executing the method. The application therefore must manually release the connection by calling releaseConnection() on the method after the response body has been read. To safely ensure connection release HttpClient should be used in the following manner: MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager connectionManager = new MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager(); HttpClient client = new HttpClient(connectionManager); ... // and then from inside some thread executing a method GetMethod get = new GetMethod("http://jakarta.apache.org/"); try { client.executeMethod(get); // print response to stdout System.out.println(get.getResponseBodyAsStream()); } finally { // be sure the connection is released back to the connection // manager get.releaseConnection(); } Particularly, notice that the connection is released regardless of what the result of executing the method was or whether or not an exception was thrown. For every call to HttpClient.executeMethod there must be a matching call to method.releaseConnection(). |

Sample dashboard at: http://emoncms.org/Jasper&id=17687
Left hand side, realtime graph and dial set to the voltage feed.
Right hand side, same vis set to one of my power feeds.
On all the power feeds, the realtime graph can see the data just fine, but the dial stays firmly at 0, no matter what I've tried so far.
What am I doing wrong?
Re: Dial widget not getting data?
Well, apparently it was something wrong with those feeds. Deleting all my feeds and recreating everything from scratch fixed it.
Re: Dial widget not getting data?
Welll.. no. Cheered too soon.
It worked *briefly*. And now *all* my feeds (including voltage) are in a state where dials and feedvalue widgets simply return 0. And the graphs still go fine.
Can anyone give me some pointers where I should start looking?
Re: Dial widget not getting data?
Jasper,
Did you ever solve your problem? I am running into the same issue. I have two emonTH sensors, both are sending data but the dials are not showing the data. Before adding my second sensor, my dials were working fine.
Update: I deleted my new feed, re-added it, and renamed both feeds without using parenthesis. Originally I had them named DHT22 Temperature (Inside) and DHT22 Temperature (Outside). This seems to have fixed the issue, dials are working for both emonTH feeds.
Re: Dial widget not getting data?
I'm having the same problem, the dashboard is appearing publicly, but the dials are sitting at zero? tired creating a new dashboard with no change.
Re: Dial widget not getting data?
Are the respective feeds set as 'public'?
Paul
Re: Dial widget not getting data?
Got me, sorry made an assumption that feeds on a public dashboard would automatically be public. but i see they are not.
Re: Dial widget not getting data?
Hi
I have made my feeds public but still do not get any readings on my dials at all.
Any further suggestions? Thanks in advance
Re: Dial widget not getting data?
Camden, you need to provide more information about your system and how you have set it up before we can help. For example, are you using emoncms.org or a standalone system?
Paul
Re: Dial widget not getting data?
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem. I have 3 inputs of 3-phase power: Power1-Power3. I make few feeds: log, kwh, kwh/d, hist, max. And in the end of input Power1 I want to have a sum of all phases, so I add input Power2 and Power3, log it as Power, later do the same - kwh, kwh/d, hist etc.
In dashboard I use dials of Power1-Power3 - they are updating, everything is OK. But dial of Power is showing 0. If I add realtime or rawdata, they are shown correctly, updating. So widgets are not working, visualisations are working.
One more strange thing: when I add feed values for Power1 max - Power3 max, they show correc tvalues in edit mode, but show 0 in view mode (not public - normal logged in).
Pictures are attached.

Are you about to develop a software to run natively on cloud ? If your answer is yes then you may
want to read what follows ...
Probably most of you, at this point in time, are well aware of the available cloud types, of the technical
implication of it and of the fact that PaaS is usually referred as a more "mature" cloud solution than IaaS. But
are you aware of what this exactly means from the point of view of the financial efficiency and
sustainability of your software development ?
I mean how much IaaS is expensive compared to PaaS ?
Generally speaking we
usually refer to three different cloud service taxonomy:
- IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service): when the cloud provider manage the infrastructure (i.e.: storage,
network, resources). You are free to run any software (including the OS) but you may be limited on
selecting, configuring and setting specific infrastructural components.
- PaaS (Platform as a Service): when the cloud provider (beside the infrastructure) manage (and deploy)
libraries, services and middlewares (i.e.: database, message brokers, caches etc...). You may be limited on
selecting specific middlewares, vendors or versions.
- SaaS (Software as a Service): when a cloud provider (beside the platform) manage also the application.
You may be limited on setting/configuring any capability underlying the application itself.
The answer to the initial questions (IaaS vs PaaS) is less obvious than it appears. First of all you should
think that in a service oriented world, the quality of a service set also the price. If your software
is offered as SaaS available 24/7 with an availability of 99,95%, then it is surely much more valuable than the same
software with "only" 99.00% of availability. It may seem to you that 0.95% is a "drop in a ocean" but it
is not like that ... We are saying that every 1000 customers, 9.5 of them (almost 10) may not be able to access your
services.
In some case this is not too bad, but in other situations, it is unacceptable... (i.e. if you are building an
online trading platform, you may need to guarantee your uptime as much as possible)
In any case, a cloud provider need to spend much more resources if he wants to deliver just an additional 0.95%
of reliability to his infrastructure/platform. Therefore he will charge a lot more for the same service to
insure higher quality...
When you compare the two model IaaS and PaaS to develop your application, you may want to consider the same
approach: if you want more reliability, you may need to develop and maintain a software that will turn out to be
more expensive in IaaS than PaaS. In fact while in PaaS the uptime of each platform component is
guaranteed by the cloud provider, in IaaS you (or your software) will need to supply this reliability. Adding
this "extra" percentage of uptime to your software on top of IaaS may be several time more expensive than buying
platform as a service components.
As an example let's take the persistence. A DB as service usually scale up according to the amount of data stored
or the number of queries. Th IaaS does usually not care if inside one or more nodes you are using more or less
resources (not always true) and it is apparently cheaper than PaaS. But on top of IaaS you have to add the DB
license (if any), the resiliency (a cluster usually) and the reliability of the data storage (usually through
replication). Moreover if you want to have geographical distribution and multi tenancy, then your software developed
on top of an IaaS solution has just become a nightmare....
We did not even mention the complexity to run and manage a resilient middleware in cloud, and the fact that some

SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE
*** (out of 4) - a good movie
Release Date: January 8, 1999 Starring: Gwyneth Paltrow, Joseph Fiennes, Geoffrey Rush, Ben Affleck, Colin Firth, Judi Dench, Tom Wilkinson, Rupert Everett Directed by: John Madden Distributed by: Miramax Films MPAA Rating: R (sexuality, nudity, brief profanity) URL: http://www.execpc.com/~kinnopio/reviews/1999/shakespeare.htm
The only historical figure that has been written about more than William Shakespeare is Jesus Christ, which explains why the Bard's materials are such a popular source for remakes, revisions, rewrites, inspiration, subtlety, credit, and dispute. Indeed, in recent years, American contemporary cinema has been swamped with a wash of Shakespearean products. Including this year's upcoming A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, Shakespeare's material has been the cause for twenty-six big screen productions since 1990. But for a change of pace, MRS. BROWN director John Madden gives us a story of the Bard himself in the wonderfully vibrant SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE.
Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard's story is largely fantasy, although as the viewer soon learns, SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE is not a movie that takes itself seriously. (Will Shakespeare of the 1590's would've been married to Anne Hathaway, and he would've had a teenage daughter and two young sons; here he is a bachelor played by Joseph Fiennes.) Will is a writer struggling to come up with a great play, and his current comedy in the works -- "Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter" -- just doesn't quite seem right. With the help of the great writer Christopher Marlowe (Rupert Everett), and the inspiration of true love with noblewoman Viola De Lesseps (Gwyneth Paltrow), he changes things around and writes one of his greatest tragedies, "Romeo and Juliet."
The love story between Will and Viola loosely parallels the story of Romeo and Juliet, to great effect. Fiennes and Paltrow develop a sexy chemistry as the two lovers which gives the movie much momentum; this momentum smoothes out the bumps in the unfinished and largely unsuccessful comedy. The supporting roles are well filled out, from Geoffrey Rush as Will's worrisome agent, Philip, to Tom Wilkinson as the producer Hugh Fennyman. Even Ben Affleck, leading the troupe of actors, manages to make a favorable impression; and Judi Dench lends some brief moments of screen time as Queen Elizabeth I. Gwyneth Paltrow is by far, however, the standout of the lot, creating a large percentage of the forementioned vibrance.
The story is well-crafted if nothing else, although it has dangerous moments where it flirts with the "let's make a movie"-genre. The dialogue is breezy and lighthearted, and certainly accessible by the audience's lowest common denominator. There's something for everyone in this romantic comedy, making it prime date flick material. Although certainly not inspiring in any regard, it revels in a wholesome, well-rounded atmosphere that has been absent in many of 1998's pictures; the true-love story is one of the best around. Certainly recommendable when the traditional slew of indifferent year's-open releases is just around the corner.

Björn Grönvall was the original person to remind our community that very old versions of the real ssh had a free licence. This is his own implementation, based on the old Tatu code. OpenSSH was based on an early version of OSSH, but OpenSSH added SSH2 and extended the SSH1 protocol support.
"ssh uses cryptographic techniques to enhance the security of everyday distributed computing tasks such as file transfers, remote logins and remote command execution. It's intended as a (more) secure alternative to the likes of telnet, ftp, rsh, rlogin and rexec - and one which requires much less effort to set up than Kerberos or IPSEC currently do."

What I'm doing right now
Right now I’m a student at HvA (Hogeschool van Amsterdam) and following the course Communication and Multimedia Design (CMD). Where I focus on front end development. Here I fell in love with JavaScript and did the minor web development. Now I’m looking for an internship for an half year.


{% extends "base-without-sidebar.html" %} {% load i18n %} {% block main %}
You've come across a bug! We've been notified of the problem and will try to fix it as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience!


Hello, everyone! My name is Anthony Benavente. I was born on April 6, 1995 on the island of Saipan, the capital of the Northern Mariana Islands which is a territory of the United States. When I was only ten years old, my family and I moved across the pond to Raleigh, North Carolina, so that my parents could obtain their masters from North Carolina State University. All my life, I thought I was going to follow my parents' footsteps and attend North Carolina State as well to become an architect. However, after taking a semester of art at Green Hope High School, Cary, North Carolina, I quickly realized that the dream of becoming an architect was impossible. I then adjusted my sights when I had recieved my first laptop as a gift from my grandmother ( this was my first laptop for those curious) and decided to dabble in the world of programming and computer science. Here is where I found my niche, my calling, my future.
Today, I am attending Western Carolina University studying Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. I plan on graduating with my undergraduate degree in 2017 after which I will continue on in life, fufilling my dream of working in the industry as a computer programmer. However, one of my future goals in life is to obtain my Master's degree, PhD. and become a professor at a university. So thanks for reading about my story, and if you'd like to contact me, fill out the form at the bottom of this page. I appreciate your time, and I can't wait to hear from you!
Thanks,
Anthony Benavente


Projections¶
One of the more complex topics when working with geolocated data is geographic projections and the conversion or resampling of data between projections. You may also see the term projection referred to as a Projected Coordinate Reference System (CRS) or just CRS. The below documentation can be seen as a primer, but it is still quite limited for this complex topic.
The book “Map Projections” by Battersby [1] describes map projections:
Map projection is the process of transforming angular
(spherical / elliptical) coordinates into planar coordinates. All map
projections introduce distortion (e.g., to areas, angles, distances) in the
resulting planar coordinates. Understanding what, where, and how much
distortion is introduced is an important consideration for spatial
computations and visual interpretation of spatial patterns, as well as for
general aesthetics of any map.
Spatial projections describe how to create a flat 2D version of our round 3D Earth that may be easier to work with or describe than the original representation used by our data.
These projections or coordinate reference systems will consist of things like a model of the Earth (datum/ellipsoid), a reference or center longitude, a reference or center latitude, and the type of shape or algorithm used to transform points to and from the projection. For example, a geostationary projection might “see” the Earth like:
Or a lambert conformal conic (LCC) projection might “see” it like:
Changing the parameters for a particular CRS will change what region of the Earth is covered and what level of distortion is seen compared to the real Earth.
Properly defining the projection of your data is important in order to properly compare data from multiple sources. Two pixels at longitude 0 and latitude 0 aren’t actually representing the same location if those coordinates are defined for different CRSes. Typically to make comparison the easiest it can be coordinates are transformed or data resampled to one single CRS. For example, data from a forecast model may be defined on a longitude/latitude projection with coordinates specified in degrees. Data from a geostationary satellite might be on a geostationary projection with coordinates in meters. If you wanted to combine these data you’d need to transform the coordinates from one projection to the other.
Projection definitions¶
There are many different types of projections.
Geoxarray uses the pyproj library’s CRS
object to define
all of its Coordinate Reference Systems and the transformation of coordinates
between them. Pyproj depends on the lower-level PROJ C++
library which defines the actual coordinate transformation algorithms and
maintains definitions for predefined CRSes (ex. EPSG codes). You can find a
list of the supported PROJ definitions here.
Anywhere in Geoxarray that a CRS is needed a CRS
object
from pyproj
will be used. However, these objects aren’t always compatible
with other libraries that geoxarray uses or they may not serialize well to
on-disk formats (ex. NetCDF CF). In these cases geoxarray also uses a
CF-standard “grid_mapping”
definition to persist CRS information to an xarray object and that may include
a Well-known Text (WKT) <https://proj.org/en/latest/development/reference/cpp/cpp_general.html#general_doc_1WKT2>
version of the CRS in a crs_wkt
attribute. See the pyproj
Getting Started documentation for some examples of
different CRS options.
Lastly, a projection is not the only thing that is needed to describe where your data is on the Earth. Typically there are also x, or y, or other coordinate variables defining the positions of each “pixel” of your data. At the time of writing Geoxarray does not do anything with these coordinates.

I was given these projects once after I arrived in Australia. Michał approached me and asked if I could design a poster and a leaflet. Considering that I had a gigantic amount of free time, I decided to take upon the offer, although, the timeframe was relatively scarce as I was given around 3 days for the proper creation of the leaflet, as that was the priority at the time.
Well, the thing was that back then, I didn't really have much of anything at all. I enjoyed my remaining time in Poland after having done Matura (HSC), which took around 3 months and then, in fact, I had extra, possibly 3 months in Sydney as the semesters didn't kickoff until February. I did make a mistake, though, as I could have had researched back at the time and tried matching in for the second semester at a university. Unfortunately, studying for my finals took most of my time and I didn't really bother conducting heavy research, which does make somewhat sense. On the other hand, the delay hampered my upcoming months to a very expensive and quite massive degree.
That said, I really did not have much of a thing, futurewise. My HSC results were fairly mediocre and even my english language skills lacked proper refinement in the very case of communicating with other people. Therefore: limited prospects for employment, limited prospects for education. I felt as if it was a dead end. Especially that I lived at my father's place, an hour from Sydney's city center and my situation matched my father's in some ends.
I did enjoy doing some graphic design in my free time. In high school I used photoshop, google map saver and galaxy note 3 for the environmental redevelopment vision, which I continued carrying out on a new piece of hardware - Surface Pro 3. Even before, I tried doing some less or more attractive editing in photoshop, so my experience with these tools was fairly limited. Nevertheless, once I learned of the opportunity, I disclosed my up-to-date experience and once I learned that I could give it a try I proceeded with the creation, while keeping in constant touch with Michał.
I was delivered some templates that his political party uses, based on which I created a modern and clean leaflet. The primary idea as behind any poster ever created was fairly simple: attract the peoples' attention, especially that it was made for the purpose of becoming elected to the local council (government). Nevertheless, a leaflet is a notch more complicated thing as it requires an immense amount of lexicological skills in regards to expressing your point within the boundaries of (design-wise) good taste. However, the information rather relied on Michał, yet defining the style laid on my end.
The front was designed so that it included only and solemnly the crucial elements, that are: Name, political affiliation, candidate's appearance, number on the election list, where he's candidating to, potentially his facebook profile and, required by law, how it was sponsored.
On the back, an overview of who Michał is, what he does, his hobbies and political experience. The priorities of what he plans on doing as a council member and other candidates that he supports. This part was designed so that it went in threes in case of both: the main sections and the content that belongs. Potentially, the name on the top feels a little squeezed, so that is one element that I would have had potentially fixed if I had the chance.
Unfortunately, despite all my research and best intentions, I did make a mistake in regards to the colorscheme, which I fixed in regards to the poster. Considering the scale of the leaflets, I was told that the deterioration was not that dramatic, nevertheless I should have foreseen it in time.
The front of the leaflet appealed to Michał to such a degree, that he asked me to just refine the part and make it an A4 poster. Therefore, the changes are quite superficial and relied mostly on improving the quality of Michał's appearance. I did try experimenting a little bit, although eventually we withstood by the current design and I made sure that the colors would appear just as they were meant to.
The entire project relied on Adobe Photoshop CC and Surface Pro 3. At the time, it was a fairly new, yet extremely intuitive way of working on a graphic design project as it sped up the process significantly, considering I did not have an access to a regular PC.
Additionally, at a later stage I also designed a facebook cover picture. I designed it in a manner that it combined a hand-(digitally)painted layout and a modern touch, related to the style employed by, at the time, the presidential candidate Andrzej Duda.
I tried a few other related works, but they never went too far, which included: another poster, another facebook cover picture and an apparel logo. Unfortunately, last year I was kept immensely busy, which impinged on any additional potential works that I could have carried.
