Facebook launched an experimental meme app called Whale – here's how it works, Business Insider - Business Insider Singapore
by Charlie Wood, Business Insider US- Facebook quietly launched a meme creation app called Whale, which lets people layer doodles, emojis, and other visual effects over their own photos or stock images.
- It’s essentially a simple image-editing tool, designed to create shareable visuals for social.
- Whale is only available in Canada’s App Store for now and was created by Facebook’s experimental apps team.
- We tried Whale to find out how it works.
- Visit Business Insider’s homepage for more stories.
Facebook has quietly launched an image-editing app called Whale, intended to generate memes that can be easily edited and shared across different social and messaging apps.
It’s only available for the iPhone in Canada, but it seems to be a clear attempt to keep ahold of the teen and Gen Z market, which Facebook is in danger of losing to hit video app TikTok.
We first saw the news of Whale via The Information.
Whale is only available on iPhone and in Canada, but we managed to download the app and give it a whirl.
Here’s how it works:
Here’s the Whale app on Apple’s App Store. It isn’t obvious the app was built by Facebook.
Whale is only available to Canadian iPhone users, but is expected to be rolled out more widely in the near future.
Whale’s developer is listed on the App Store as “NPE Team.” You wouldn’t know it from that listing, but that refers to Facebook’s experimental apps team. It means that anyone using Whale is subject to the same terms as conditions as with other Facebook-owned apps.
The app’s format is extremely simple. When you open the app, it opens into a gallery of photos from your camera reel, or a selection of stock photos.
Naturally, the stock photos are devoid of context or explanation, presumably leaving the user free to put their own hilarious spin on them.
You can also take photos from inside the app.
There are around 90 stock photos to choose from. A surprising number of the stock images relate to watermelons, for unclear reasons.
Some of the most wacky stock photos include a man using two toilet rolls as binoculars, a man with a watermelon for a head, a woman holding a carp, two giggling nuns, and a cat owner hissing back at their cat. There are several weird watermelon photos in the selection.
After selecting a photo, the app pretty much gives you free rein to create your meme. You can select text, emojis and other effects to add to your image.
You can change the font and font size, and position your chosen text anywhere on screen.
You can also choose from a number of snazzy visual effects, including pixellation, ‘whoosh’ effects, and more.
You can change the colour of your text.
And as with lots of other messaging apps, you can doodle over your selected photo.
There are some other cool effects, like this ‘vortex’ visual effect.
It wouldn’t be a meme generator without emojis – many of the emojis available on Messenger are available on Whale, though they’re predominantly ones involving faces (rather than animals or flags, for example).
Once you’ve completed making your meme, Whale encourages you to share it across Facebook’s other social networks.
You can also share the edited image across other social networks or messaging apps.
Because the app is connected to Facebook, users are expected to abide by its community standards.
They can share their created memes through Instagram, Messenger and the core Facebook app, as well as through non-Facebook affiliated channels like Twitter, DropBox, and more.
Whale is pretty fun to use and extremely simple, but it joins a crowded ecosystem of social apps.
Whale doesn’t offer much more than the image-editing tools you might see on Snapchat or Instagram, which also let you overlay images with colorful text and graphics.  This may just be a neat experiment.

lappend - Append list elements onto a variable
lappend varName ?value value value ...?
This command treats the variable given by varName as a list and appends each of the value arguments to that list as a separate element, with spaces between elements. If varName doesn't exist, it is created as a list with elements given by the value arguments. Lappend is similar to append except that the values are appended as list elements rather than raw text. This command provides a relatively efficient way to build up large lists. For example, ``lappend a $b'' is much more efficient than ``set a [concat $a [list $b]]'' when $a is long.

I am primarily an iOS Developer. I am fluent in the Swift language and understand XCode and the iOS platform quite well. I hope to learn Objective-C in order to broaden my iOS skills.
I give entry level web development services. I have a basic grasp on HTML and CSS. I know some JavaScript and jQuery. I plan on pursuing further web development skills.
I will fix computer hardware and software problems.
I spent a semester at Alice Lloyd College. ALC is located in Knott County, Ky deep in the Appalachian mountains. The school is highly conservative and very secluded. These factors lead to my stay being short and me seeking other avenues of success.
After leaving Alice Lloyd I needed to do something to advance my future. I am from a very small mountain community in Eastern Ky called Bledsoe. As such there is a scarcity of employment and after my time at ALC I felt college wasn't for me. My great-grandfather and uncle had both served in the Army so why couldn't I? I was accepted and placed as a 35-F(Intelligence Analyst). I completed basic training and was about to go to AIT when we got word that due a budget closure many of us would be going home I was one of those unfortunate enough to be chosen.
This was the roughest time of my adventure in adulthood. I had felt failure both at Alice Lloyd and the Army. I enrolled in community college, but didn't put much effort into it as I felt defeated and lost. I would pass just enough to stay in school until the 2015 Spring semester when my failures caught up and I lost my financial aid benefits. Now unable to go to school and unable to serve in the Army I had to find work.
I went on the hunt. I was applying for any job I could find an opening for. One of these was an AmeriCorps VISTA position at Pine Mountain Settlement School. I sent in an application and less than a week later got a response. The Executive Director of PMSS called me and regretfully informed me that he felt I wouldn't be a good fit for the position. The first cahnce I had at a job gone in an instant. Then he started speaking again and with what he said I found hope. My skills were going to be useful to him. He needed someone to help with technology related issues they were having at PMSS. He wanted me to come in the next day and meet with him and start work soon. I was finally getting somewhere!
I started working for PMSS. I fixed computers and installed WiFi routers. I did troubleshooting on printers and rebooted desktops. I was doing something I loved and making money doing it! My boss then comes and asks me to build a website for the school. I had never really done anything like that before, but he believed I could do it. So I did. He then said he heard of a program called TEKY where they were going to be hiring people to train them in mobile app development and then employing them. I applied and got accepted as 1 out of around 1,000 applicants. Only a total of 50 were chosen. I went through the training and got accepted into the internship phase. I finished that and now I am looking at employment oppurtunities in multiple companies. From a rough beginning I came out a coder with a refined marketable skill I could have employment and a career in.

What it's all about.
We are a group of fans of enthusiasts of late Samuel Edward Konkin III trying to make his legacy as widely available as humanly possible. As a part of that effort, we are finding and scanning his personalzines he published for many years under several titles. Not all of them are that interesting after all those years, but many can tell us something about his life and ideas.
List of zines we’d really, really like to have but don’t.
Feel free to ask stuff and remember that sharing our links is the best donation.
Want to download all at once? Want a different format?
You can download all the zines from this site using this DropBox link — in DJVU and PDF formats, combined into one file or separated. Contact us if you want our original scans for one reason or another (they are messy, inconsistent, and would take a lot of disk space though).
Other projects
While this project concentrates on fannish, faanish, and other SF-related personalzines, that’s not all SEK3 has created. He wrote a lot of articles, two books and left several more unfinished, edited a dozen of zines, newsletters, and other periodicals, maintained his own personal fanzine. Naturally, we have other projects concentrating on those:
-
Libertarian articles (some SF-related, but not many) are being found, scanned and published on sek3.net.
-
Other fanzines and prozines (New Libertarian and others) are being scanned, OCRed, and will be published soon. Probably, in addition to webbed articles, there will be whole volumes of OCRed zines in eBook format. Stay tuned.
-
Books, both finished and unfinished, fiction and non-fiction, will soon be available as eBooks (EPUB and Kindle format). New Libertarian Manifesto and An Agorist Primer are available as print editions, thanks to KoPubCo, and PDFs can be found on the web. KoPubCo also works on finishing Counter-Economics, the book. For everything else, again, stay tuned.
What to do if you don’t like our site and its content
Immediately go to facebook or your blog and write a lengthy angry post about it, don’t forget to include a link to our site.
 Also feel free to ask you friends to repost this important information (with our link, of course) all over the web.
But do not contact us about it under any circumstances unless you want to give us something we need (like if you want to get rid of some rare anarchist magazines), we have funnier (and fannier) stuff to do, you know.

Dear PSC Members,
The layoff crisis the union has been anticipating has begun. It is a crisis for all of us, whether we are full-time or part-time, faculty or staff, because it reveals CUNY management’s willingness to treat employees as disposable and to betray the mission of the University.
It is unconscionable that a public university serving the city’s most vulnerable population would jettison its most vulnerable workers in the middle of a pandemic and a recession. The CUNY administration is exploiting the contingent labor system to make what are expected to be deep cuts in the University’s workforce.
The deadline for informing adjuncts about whether they will be employed next semester is this Tuesday. The PSC has received notice from CUNY that 422 adjuncts currently covered by adjunct health insurance will lose their eligibility for health insurance for the fall 2020 semester as a result of a reduction in hours or a non-reappointment. 422 is a devastating number, but it represents only the adjuncts who are currently on health insurance through the NYC plan and are expected to lose it in the fall. The total number of adjunct layoffs on Tuesday could be hundreds or even thousands more.
Cutting hundreds or thousands of employees is not business as usual. It is an attack on all of us as PSC members and on the students we serve. That’s why we need every member to be part of this fight.
One quick thing you can do immediately: sign the petition calling on the CUNY administration to stop layoffs and maintain health insurance.
The union does not have the names or departments of the adjuncts expected to lose health insurance. We have only a chart provided by CUNY management, which lists the number per campus. You will see that some colleges did “make every effort” to keep adjuncts on health insurance, as the chancellor affirmed in a legal agreement. Others clearly did not.
We understand that this news will be shocking and deeply anxiety-provoking for adjuncts currently on health insurance and for all adjuncts who have not yet received notice of reappointment. Please know that the PSC is fully committed to fighting for every one of you. The union will fight now and next week and throughout the summer to restore your employment if you are non-reappointed and to maintain your health insurance. We will not let CUNY management normalize mass layoffs as an inevitable fact of contingent life or an acceptable consequence of the pandemic.
Because of the PSC’s negotiations to establish adjunct health insurance, adjuncts who were on health insurance in both fall and spring semesters will retain their coverage through August. But the pandemic is far from over, and the union is fighting for the coverage to continue. Adjuncts, you have 30,000 PSC members at your back. As union leaders, we cannot promise that we will win, but we stand firm in the position that layoffs at CUNY are not acceptable and that no one should lose health insurance in a pandemic.
The PSC has been building power in anticipation of this news for months. Everything we have done to demand safety on campuses, fair treatment of those working remotely and transparency about college budgets has contributed to this fight. At several colleges union activists have succeeded in reducing the planned cuts and layoffs.
Now we call on everyone to take a stand and demand that CUNY back down from this cruel and shortsighted plan. The union will give the campaign everything we have through Tuesday, and the Executive Council will announce in the next few days how the fight will escalate if the layoffs are made.
Please sign this petition to the CUNY Chancellor and Board of Trustees demanding that the University pursue the alternatives to layoffs it already has available. Sign before noon on Monday! We need every member.

If you are a teaching adjunct, non-teaching adjunct or adjunct CLT, please let us know whether you have received information about reappointment. The union plans to file a massive class-action grievance to fight for every adjunct job. And we want to make sure that every adjunct who is eligible receives unemployment insurance. Tell us if you receive a letter of non-reappointment or a reduction in hours.
The fight against layoffs is a fight for all of us. The stronger we are in our resistance on this issue, the better position we will be in to resist reopening of campuses before they are safe, to defend academic programs and student services, to campaign for the resources our students need, to protect our contractual gains.
And don’t think CUNY management has no alternative. The CUNY administration could take a public stand to defend the University in this crisis rather than presiding over its destruction. Congress has allocated $132 million in federal CARES Act funds to CUNY colleges for “institutional needs.” The law requires that colleges and universities receiving such funding make every effort to keep employees on payroll during the pandemic. Why is the CARES Act money not being used to avert thousands of lost jobs and lost courses? Scores of New York legislators joined us in demanding answers to that question in a public letter sent yesterday to the CUNY administration. And the PSC is preparing for legal action on the basis of the CARES Act.
This is a tough battle, literally against State power. It is a battle for our own jobs and health if we are adjuncts, a battle for essential colleagues if we are not. It is also a battle for our students, whose university has suffered from a long history of racist disinvestment that should be repudiated, not repeated, now. If you do one thing to join the campaign this weekend, please add your name to the petition. We will be proud to put our names next to yours.

My seven year old still reverses a lot of letters when he writes. Any suggestions on how I can work with him?
Letter reversals are surprisingly common through age 7. After that age, this could be an indication of a learning disability such as dyslexia. Letters that are similar such as b, d, p, and q are some of the most common errors. However in more extreme cases, mirror writing (writing backward from right to left) is also a problem for young writers. Here are a few hints to help your child conquer those difficult letters at home.
1) Alternate different implements to write with including pencils, pens, markers, sandpaper letters, and tracing with a wet paint brush over a chalkboard.
2) Use shaving cream, pudding and sand to finger-paint the letters for practice.
3) Use pre-printed work sheets with directional arrows when tracing over a letter or an alphabet strip as a visual reference.
4) Make up phrases to remember direction such as, “letter b is a bat (the stick) and ball (the circle),” or “b begins bed, d ends the word bed.” You can find or make up little stories about the problem letters as a memory technique.
Practice makes perfect. There are many handwriting booklets and worksheets (such as those mentioned in paragraph 3 above) for sale in your local bookstore, or even for free online.

| Sep 27, 2000 | Added Jake's resource format to appendix. | |
| Oct 7, 2000 | Converted to HTML |
Note: All data entries are Intel (little endian) double-word values (4 bytes) unless otherwise specified. However, you'll notice, it isn't ever otherwise specified!
There are two files which make up the graphics resource pack:
Multiple resources can reference the same bitmap, which allows us to change char- acteristics of that bitmap such as its opacity and gamma.
The Bitmap data
The bitmap data file is constructed as such, with a count which indicates the total number of bitmaps in the file and a list of seek positions for each of those bitmaps:
(unsigned) count repeat count: (unsigned) SeekPos The seek position of the bitmap data end repeat
The sprite headers
(unsigned) Flags These describe the format of the bitmap data on-disk. SPR_TRANSPARENT (1<<0) SPR_OPAQUE (1<<1) SPR_FUNKY (1<<2) // RLE compression of transparency (unsigned) AlphaFlags The alpha blending mode flags for this sprite. These affect how the game loads the sprite data, since certaint flags require certain restrictions on the sampledata format! SPRA_ADDITIVE (1<<1) // Additive blending (src + dest) SPRA_ALPHA (1<<2) // Use the global alpha setting (spr->alpha) SPRA_ALPHA_MASK (1<<3) // Use an alpha mask (either spr->alpha_mask or stored in the pixel format). SPRA_GAMMA (1<<5) // Source gamma control (spr->gamma) (unsigned) xsize (unsigned) ysize Width and height of the bitmap. Currently this is required to match the characteristics of the bitmap data, but I will change that later. (unsigned) Alpha Default global alpha-blending value. Range: 0 to 128 (unsigned) Gamma Default global gamma (brightness) Range: 0 to 128 (unsigned) Reserved (unsigned) BitmapIndex Index into the bitmap data (see above).
Key Features:
The audio resource pack consists of three files:
All sample data for the entire game has been packed into one file. This allows the music to reference any sample in the game as a musical instrument, and completely eliminates the need for duplicate samples.
The Sample Data
The head of the sample data file contains a count and then a list of indexes and flags, as such:
(unsigned) count repeat count: (unsigned) SeekPos The seek position of the sampledata. (unsigned) Sample Format The format of the data, using these flags: SF_16BITS (1<<0) SF_STEREO (1<<1) SF_SIGNED (1<<2) SF_DELTA (1<<3) SF_BIG_ENDIAN (1<<4) end repeat
The Sample Header
(unsigned) Speed The default replay speed of this sample. Usually this matches the samplerate of the sampledata as it was recorded. (unsigned) Volume Default volume Range: 0 - 128 (signed) Panning Default stereo-panning. Range: -128 (left) to 128 (right) (unsigned) Length Length of the sample, in *SAMPLES*. This means that to know the length of the sample in bytes, you have to multiply the length by 2 if either SF_STEREO or SF_16BITS is set in the sampledata's format flags. (unsigned) RepPos Starting position of the sample loop (in *samples*) (unsigned) RepEnd Ending position of the sample loop (in *samples*) (unsigned) SusPos Starting position of the sustain loop (in *samples*) (unsigned) SusEnd Starting position of the sustain loop (in *samples*) (unsigned) Flags Sample flags. These are sample looping flags, plus other non-format related stuff. These are set as follows: SL_LOOP (1<<0) SL_BIDI (1<<1) SL_REVERSE (1<<2) SL_SUSTAIN_LOOP (1<<3) SL_SUSTAIN_BIDI (1<<4) SL_SUSTAIN_REVERSE (1<<5) (unsigned) SampleDataIndex The index of the sampledata in the sampledata file (see above).

We have big plans for HTML5 test. Our latest additions are a new server backend that automatically collects the test results and creates some extensive reports based on the collected data. But we have some more ideas for the future.
These additions do take a lot of time, so if you think HTML5 test is a great resource, consider donating.
In order to pay for hosting and further development of the HTML5 test we allow a small number of ads on two positions of the main page. We prefer ads that are related to HTML5 or web development. Ads on the HTML5 test are exclusively sold by BuySellAds.
A lot of our data is crowd sourced, but in certain cases we need access to the actual browser running on the actual device. For this purpose we are trying to build a testing lab with not only new devices, but also older devices for testing historic versions.
We already have various phones and tablets running Android (2.1 to 4.0) and iOS (5.0 and 5.1) to our disposal. We are looking for devices running older versions of iOS or Android, and devices running different operating systems, such as BlackBerry, S60, Windows Mobile or Windows Phone. If you have a new or used device you want to donate to our lab, please contact me on Github or Twitter.
At the moment we are actively looking for a device running iOS 3 or 4 and Android 1.6.

My Diary Entries


I have experimented with diphenhydramine for a number of years now, and I figure that it is about time that I share my experience with the world. My usual dosage is 200mg, but I have been known to take considerably lower and considerably higher dosages for differing effects, lower for less of a crash, and higher for more of a debilitating state. And I have never taken over 14 pills, 14 only because at one point I was taking so many that I became tolerant to the effects and required such a high dose for any sort of recreational feeling.
I used the drug, rather the abuse of it, to calm my mind. It is hyperactive, on a normal day I cannot seem to shut it off and this causes me to be paranoid and unstable in my thought processes. Sedatives help alleviate this and so my ride began. Now, this is not to say that everyone would have a positive relation with the drug, simply because I have certain mental oddities I do believe this is one of the only reasons why I can tolerate the drug and utilize it in such a positive fashion.
My mindset that first night was wonderful. I entered the euphoric state within thirty minutes of ingestion. My muscles relaxed, the world became hollow and tolerable. my vision blurred and then my eyes dilated, I became intolerant to light and could see decently in the dark. After about an hour, my body was completely submerged in the euphoric state, pain was lessened, my heartbeat became deeper and stronger, and I experienced a dryness of my facial orifices. Typical, and usually not my concern, however it can be bothersome when my eyes become dry and sticky.
Well, now to the absolute point of my tale. I became musical. Knowingly I am already quite the musical/artistic being, I have my own art gallery online and sport a knowledge of seven instruments, however like the drug suggests, in a hypnotic state one may experience an 'artistic enlightenment', which I did. And do everytime I take the drug. I picked up the flute upon my dresser, and began to indulge in playing every song on my media player playlist! What was more odd, is that I, unlike normal, could hit nearly every note of any song I had beforehand not attempted to play, easily and well. I now understand why some stage musicians delve into drug usage during and before shows.
I've never experienced any amnesia from taking diphenhydramine, although I do tend to find it harder to grasp the right word in any situation now, I am wondering if this is not an after effect of prolonged use. Also, I am beginning to think I should stop taking it altogether, due to a recent problem concerning the veins in my throat, which dilate heavily and ache everytime I decide to 'trip'.
It is not wise to take these pills for the length of time I have, tripping hundreds of times due to the fact that I have taken them for the anxiety alleviation everyday, for two and a half years now. Also, it is a bit shaking when now I have to punch my chest due to the 'heart flutter' which aggravatingly flares up everytime I trip. I have also become dependent on them for sleep on workdays, I'll stay up till five in the morning on any given day, and have to trip hard in order to get any sleep. My circadian rhythm is so messed up from tripping that it doesn't know when to sleep, and when not to sleep. After a 16 hour sleep binge, I will wake up for four hours and grow weary again, falling back to sleep for another 10 or so hours.
In my heyday with the pills I have taken them and been so educated with their effects and the time it takes for the hypnosis to set in that I've binged on them, gone to the store with my mother, and been although fried out of my gourd, completely cognitive and with mental understanding. However unlike the described symptoms suggest, I becme very untalkative and withdrawn noticeably, rather than social. I have also much to my embarrassment, become unbelievably 'in season', contrary to the symptom of decreased libido, described. Instead of a decreased libido, it became quite increased, perhaps that is because I am normally all but dead down there? Who knows.
Also, I have gone through a rather uncaring phase where I would binge on the pills, and then synergize by consuming alcohol.   Now that I think about it actually, the reason I did this is because of another horrid symptom that I experienced. The feeling of decreased temperature. I became extremely cold, now I'm cold to begin with, but see nobody should donn flannel in the summer heat of the south. You see what I'm saying?
Anyhoo, being the chemist I like to think I am, to counter the effects of the feeling of frigidity which I knew wasn't really a decrease in core temperature, but the effects of the drug making my body think that I was cold, I drank liquor in the knowledge that liquor makes your body think its hotter than it really is. The result with the right amount, was a settlement to the confliction of thermal instability.
I have also used these pills as a coping mechanism for certain sensory disturbances. I become easily aggravated by cacphonus auditory assaults, and with diphenhydramine in my bloodstream, this became null and void. I would take them, and the bell that bothers the heck out of me at my place of work, would no longer shake me.
The positive and negative effects of the pills have pretty much balanced out, but I do believe that I have decided that should I wish to keep my life, I should stop my habitual indulgence in them. But it was a good run while it lasted.

The Research Work Group decided that it was important to include this additional indicator to reflect the work being completed in Wales.
Sport Wales adopts Whitehead’s definition of physical literacy, namely: “the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for engagement in physical activities for life” (Whitehead, 2017). Physical literacy is considered a ‘holistic’ concept and acknowledges the physical, affective and cognitive domains as equally important (Edwards et al., 2017). Recent developments have acknowledged the ‘social element’ of physical literacy alongside the affective, physical and cognitive domains (Australian Sports Commission, 2017). Sport Wales’ definition is comprised of physical skills, confidence, motivation, knowledge and understanding and lots of opportunities
Despite being a lifelong concept, work in Wales has primarily centred on youth populations. In the past, Welsh Government and Sport Wales have invested into related programmes such as the Physical Literacy Programme for Schools. Further, Sport Wales have focused much attention on physical literacy as an outcome of successful programme delivery.
In collaboration with Swansea University, Glyndwr University and Edge Hill University, Sport Wales designed a national measure of applied Physical Competence for children aged 8-14 years old called the “Dragon Challenge”. Physical Competence is an important component of Physical Literacy and can be defined as “one’s ability to move with competence in a wide variety of activities” (Edwards et al., 2017, p. 118). Physical Competence includes the acquisition of health and skills related components of fitness (e.g. aerobic fitness, strength, flexibility, agility, balance, coordination, power, reactions and speed), as well as fundamental movement skills like catching, throwing and running. Research suggests that higher physical competency levels will cause a positive trajectory toward perceived competence, health-related fitness and, sequentially, physical activity levels (Foweather et al., 2014; Holfelder & Schott, 2014; Robinson et al., 2015; Lubans et al., 2010; Stodden et al., 2008). The Dragon Challenge assesses physical competence skills in the areas of ‘stability’ (balancing the body in one place or while in motion), ‘locomotion’ (moving the body in any direction from one point to another) and ‘manipulative skills’ (handling or controlling objects with the hand, foot or an implement).
Participants perform nine tasks in a circuit that require single or combinations of skills to accomplish a goal. The circuit is designed to be fun, engaging and challenging. Throughout the circuit, participants are also required to use movement concepts such as spatial awareness (changes in direction and levels) and awareness of effort (changes in speed, force and flow) in relation to objects, goals and boundaries, as well as, cognitive attributes such as confidence, decision-making and understanding the environment. The participants are timed whilst they complete the circuit, and are marked by trained assessors on the quality of the movements and the completion of the end goal for each task. These are used to calculate an Overall Dragon Challenge Score, which provides a single observation of a participant’s physical competence at the time of testing (Stratton et al., 2015).
The Research Work Group explored the best available representative data to assign a physical literacy grade. In doing this, the Group divided the concept into four sub- indicators: Physical Competence, Motivation, Confidence and Knowledge and Understanding.
There was no available data for the affective (Motivation and Confidence) and cognitive (Knowledge and Understanding) domains. That said, data from the Dragon Challenge offered nationally representative Physical Competence data. In 2017, 4355 children aged 10-12 years completed the Dragon Challenge obstacle course (Central, n=875; South East, n=1238; Mid & West, n=1336; North, n=906). Results concluded that 62% children did not achieve an expected level of physical competence (bronze/silver awards) leaving 38% children with a good level of physical competence. The 38% of children meeting the ‘good level’ of physical competence translated to a D+ grade for Physical Competence.

| const unsigned char * | rsn_data, | ||
| int | rsn_len | ||
| ) |
A helper function to handle the parsing of the RSN IE.
| bss | A libwifi_bss |
| rsn_data | The RSN tag data |
| rsn_len | The length of the RSN tag data |
A helper function to handle the parsing of the RSN IE.
At the minimum, the required RSN data is the version and the group cipher suites. RSN information is then enumerated within the libwifi_get_rsn_info() function.
| int libwifi_bss_tag_parser | ( | struct libwifi_bss * | bss, |

Service names
Last updated: two weeks agao
Page contents:
Why service names are important
What to call a service is the most important conversation a service team can have.
Do it well, you'll make your service:
- easier to find
- clearer to understand
- have less calls from users asking 'how do I...?'
How to name your service
There are principles you can follow to name your service.
Good service names:
- come from user research
- describe the problem it solves for a user
- describe a task, not a technology
- are verbs, not nouns
- use the words users use
- don't have government names in them
- don't change with policy or technology
Examples
Examples of good service names:
Measure performance
There are metrics that indicate how a service name is performing:
- increased page views from organic search
- click through rate to a 'Start' button
- external search volumes between old and new name
- reduce number of on page searches about the service
- number of users calling to ask "How do I...?"

Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.


 There is no shortage of new techniques, genres, projects, equipment, inspiration, and workshops to take in this field. I’ve spent more than two years devouring photography information and I know there is still so much for me to learn and try. I also see every picture as a challenge. It is like a puzzle I get to solve. How do I use what I’ve learned to capture this moment in time in a more powerful way, making my viewer linger longer and feel more?
It motivates you to experience more
With photography as a hobby, I always want to get the family out doing something. Even if it is just taking a walk or setting up a sprinkler in the backyard, I know that us doing anything together will give me opportunities to practice and capture great memories. Sometimes I feel a little guilty about my motivations, but I know that our whole family has gotten to experience so much more together because of my photography.
It connects you with others
Everyone loves a good picture, so photography is an easy way to connect to people. I love to be able to share our lives through my photos. It is another way to stay in contact with far away family and friends. I also cannot say enough about how supportive and inspiring I’ve found the photography communities, such as Clickin Moms and Instagram. I’ve really enjoyed connecting with those around the world who share the same interest in learning to capture their lives better.

Interest in photography websites has exploded over the last 10 years, largely thanks to the developments in digital photography. Cameras and computers have become cheaper and more powerful, software more sophistocated and printers can now print photos that are as good (if not better) than anything produced in a chemical darkroom. Now, once you’ve acquired a digital setup, the economic restrictions of film and development costs have been removed and the cost of photography is virtually nil.
Along with these developments in photography has been the parallel development of the Web. Ten years ago websites were largely clumsy, HTML driven constructions. Today, contemporary photographers have powerful tools such as WordPress and DreamWeaver with which to develop their websites. Photographers can also sell their work through companies such as PhotoShelter or ImageKind, and through photo libraries such as Alamy and iStockPhoto, opening up new revenue streams.
The result is that photographers are finding new and exciting ways to showcase their best work online. We took a look at some of the beautiful photography websites that we could find, analyzing the design trends and the reasons why these websites work.

Why?
The answer is so straightforward; we are bohred and in love with science. Our primary purpose
is to
give an option to who are interested in science and astronomy with easing its complexity as much as
possible.
Who are we?
We are 5 young nerds who are a little bit bohred and looking for to do something meaningful
for us. Simply we are achieving this through science and technology. Even though we are high school
students, we are as determined as possible to learn and reflect. Knowledge is the power from past to
future, and we are aware of this fact.
What is Electromagnetic Radiation (EMR)?
Electromagnetic (EM) radiation is a form of energy that is all around us and takes many
forms,
such as radio waves, microwaves, X-rays and gamma rays. EM radiation is created when an atomic particle,
such as an electron, is accelerated by an electric field, causing it to move. The movement produces
oscillating
electric and magnetic fields, which travel at right angles to each other in a bundle of light energy
called a
photon.
What is 2MASS (Two Micron All Sky Survey)?
2Mass stands for Two Micron All-Sky Survey, and it is a successfully completed astronomical
survey which
aimed to close the gap between our current technical capability and our knowledge of the near-infrared
sky. In addition
to providing a context for the interpretation of results obtained at infrared and other wavelengths,
2MASS is
providing direct answers to immediate questions on the large-scale structure of the Milky Way and the
Local Universe.
The 2MASS took place between 1997-2001. It executed simultaneously in two different locations: at the
U.S.
Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory on Mount Hopkins, Arizona, and at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American
Observatory
in Chile. 2MASS has uniformly scanned the entire sky in three near-infrared bands to detect and
characterize point
sources brighter than about 1 mJy(milliJansky) in each band.
What is Infrared?
Infrared radiation is an electromagnetic radiation which was discovered in 1800 by astronomer
Sir William Herschel, who discovered a type of invisible radiation in the spectrum lower in energy than
red light, by means of its effect on a thermometer.IR wavelengths extend from the nominal red edge of
the visible spectrum at 700 nanometers (frequency 430 THz), to 1 millimeter (300 GHz). Most of the
thermal radiation emitted by objects near room temperature is infrared. As with all EMR, IR carries
radiant energy and behaves both like a wave and like its quantum particle, the photon.
What is Swift?
Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Mission, is a NASA space observatory designed to detect gamma-ray
bursts (GRBs).
It was launched on November 20, 2004. The Swift observatory comprises three telescopes, which work in
tandem to
provide rapid identification and multi-wavelength follow-up of GRBs and their afterglows. Within 20 to
75 seconds of
a detected GRB, the observatory rotates autonomously, so the onboard X-ray and optical telescopes can
view the
burst. The afterglow phenomenon follows the initial gamma-ray flash in most bursts. It can linger in
X-ray
light, optical light and radio waves for hours to weeks, providing great detail and SWIFT basically aims
to
detect all these with it is detailed instruments.
What is Ultraviolet?
Ultraviolet (UV) is a form of electromagnetic radiation with wavelength from 10 nm (with a
corresponding frequency of approximately 30 PHz) to 400 nm (750 THz), shorter than that of visible light
but longer than X-rays. UV radiation is present in sunlight, and constitutes about 10% of the total
electromagnetic radiation output from the Sun. The electromagnetic spectrum of ultraviolet radiation
(UVR), defined most broadly as 10–400 nanometers because of that reason it can be subdivided in a wide
range.
What is X-Ray?
X-rays are types of electromagnetic radiation and X-rays are roughly classified into soft
X-rays and hard X-rays. Soft X-rays have relatively short wavelengths of about 10 nanometers (a
nanometer is one-billionth of a meter), and so they fall in the range of the electromagnetic (EM)
spectrum between ultraviolet (UV) light and gamma-rays. Hard X-rays have wavelengths of about 100
picometers (a picometer is one-trillionth of a meter).
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope
NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope is a powerful space observatory that opens a wide window on the
universe. Gamma rays are the highest-energy form of light, and the gamma-ray sky is spectacularly
different from the one we perceive with our own eyes. Fermi enables scientists to answer persistent
questions across a broad range of topics, including supermassive black-hole systems, pulsars, the origin
of cosmic rays, and searches for signals of new physics.
Astronomers at long last have a superior tool to study how black holes, notorious for pulling matter in,
can accelerate jets of gas outward at fantastic speeds. Physicists are able to study subatomic particles
at energies far greater than those seen in ground-based particle accelerators. And cosmologists are
gaining valuable information about the birth and early evolution of the Universe.
More technically, Fermi observes light in the photon energy range of 8,000 electronvolts (8 keV) to
greater than 300 billion electronvolts (300 GeV). An electronvolt is a unit of energy close to that of
visible light; Fermi observes photons with energy levels thousands to hundreds of billions of times
greater than what the unaided eye can see.
When launched on June 11, 2008, Fermi bore the name Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope, or GLAST. NASA
renamed the mission that August in honor of professor Enrico Fermi (1901-1954), a pioneer in high-energy
physics.
What is Gamma Ray Burst?
Gamma-ray bursts are the strongest and brightest explosions in the universe, thought to be
generated during the formation of black holes. Though they last mere seconds, gamma-ray bursts produce
as much energy as the sun will emit during its entire 10-billion-year existence.
The enigmatic phenomena were first seen in 1967 by a U.S. Air Force satellite called Vela. The probe was
designed to keep watch for secret Soviet nuclear testing, but it ended up spotting dazzling gamma-rays —
the most powerful electromagnetic radiation — coming from beyond the solar system, according to NASA.
What is IRAS
The Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) is the first observatory which operated all sky
survey at infrared wavelengths. IRAS was a joint project of the US, UK and the Netherlands. The IRAS
mission performed an unbiased, sensitive all sky survey at 12, 25, 60 and 100 µm.
IRAS increased the number of cataloged astronomical sources by about 70%, detecting about 350,000
infrared sources. IRAS discoveries included a disk of dust grains around the star Vega, six new comets,
and very strong infrared emission from interacting galaxies as well as wisps of warm dust called
infrared cirrus which could be found in almost every direction of space. IRAS also revealed for the
first time the core of our galaxy, the Milky Way.
It has three main science instrument
- Survey array
- Low Resolution Spectrometer (LRS)
- Chopped Photometric Channel (CPC)
IRAS’s improved image processing IRIS
the latest version of the images delivered by the IRAS team (the ISSA plates) suffers from
calibration, zero level and striping problems that can preclude its use, especially at 12 and 25 micron.
The team of IRAS developed a new way to enhance significantly the general quality of the ISSA plates in
the four bands (12, 25, 60 and 100 microns). This new generation of IRAS images, called IRIS, benefits
from a better zodiacal light subtraction, from a calibration and zero level compatible with DIRBE, and
from a better destriping. At 100 micron the IRIS product is also a significant improvement from the
Schlegel et al. (1998) maps. IRIS keeps the full ISSA resolution, it includes well calibrated point
sources and the diffuse emission calibration at scales smaller than 1 degree was corrected for the
variation of the IRAS detector responsivity with scale and brightness.
*The DIRBE is an absolute radiometer, which measures sky brightness by chopping between the sky and a
zero-flux internal reference at 32 Hz.


Elizabeth Warren: We Need 10,000 Federal Employees to Rebuild National Forests
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said on Wednesday at the Democrat debate that she wants to see alternatives to military service in the United States and promised if she is president, she will add 10,000 federal employees who will “rebuild our national forests.”
by Penny StarrShe made the remarks after she was told that only one percent of Americans serve in the military and was asked if that number should be increased. Warren said it should.
“I think it’s an important part of who we are as Americans,” Warren said. “I also believe we should have other service opportunities in this country.”
Warren said that as president, she would “bring in 10,000 people.”
“As a way to express both their public service and their commitment to fight back against climate change,” Warren said.
In her closing statement, Warren said climate change would be a priority if she is elected president.

Overview
Metadata defines characteristics about the character that will assist players in finding your character on the selection screen. This includes their name and selection screen image along with information for the filters, such as their size, gender, tags, and so forth.
Demographics
- Label: This is the name other characters will use when referring to your character. This can be changed in the middle of the game.
- First name: Character's first name during player selection. Not used anywhere else.
- Last name: Character's last name during player selection. Not used anywhere else.
- Gender: Character's gender. Characters react differently based on gender.
- Chest/Crotch (depends on gender): For males, this is the size of their genitals. For females, this is the size of their chest. Characters react differently based on size.
- Portrait: Which image to use on the player selection screen.
- Height: How tall the character is. This data is currently useless.
- Description: Character bio used in the character selection screen.
- Origin: Source material (game, anime, movie, etc.)
Credits
- Writer: Who wrote the dialogue for the character
- Artist: Who made the art for the character
Credits
-
Intelligence: Determines how well the character plays.
For player enjoyment's sake, you should try to balance AI and number of clothing layers. Bad AI with too few layers will lose too quickly too often, and good AI with too many layers will be frustrating to try to beat.
You can specify different AI levels per character stage. A level will be used until the next listed stage is reached. For example, if you have two rows, 0-bad and 4-good, then your character will start with bad AI, but at stage 4, they will start using good AI.
- no-swap: The character never swaps any cards (for extreme situations, e.g. they lost their glasses, they're unconscious, they left entirely, etc.)
- throw: The character purposely tries to lose.
- bad: The character randomly trades cards.
- average: The character makes a decent effort to build a good hand. The majority of characters use this level.
- good: The character goes for what's most probable to win a hand (without resorting to cheating).
- best: Very similar to good, but slightly better.
- Phases to finish: After a player has lost a hand while naked, they must masturbate. This value controls how many times the player has to click buttons before the character "finishes."

This past weekend I went to the EC4WDA Region D Trail Fest, my first event as a member of the Long Island Offroad Club. Well, I guess I was a member since I heard the club president, Greg, had my check. Anyway, I arrived at the starting point at 7:30 and met Rich, the trail leader for the Lamentation Trail. After getting coffee, I met Mark Sailer in person for the first time, although I knew him from the Jeep list. Mark was driving his '86 CJ-7 with new to him 33" BFG MT. Soon Jim Guld showed up in his '95 Dodge Ram 1500 I think with 35" BFG MTs, but it is hard for me to tell tire sizes on anything that isn't a Jeep. I'd met Jim once before and knew him from the offroad list. There were also 15-20 other trucks on this trail ride and at least 3 stock vehicles. The trail was rated a 6 on a scale of 10.
Around 8:30 we moved out. It was a short ride to the trail head where we stopped to air down and lock hubs. Soon we hit the trail, down a section called "Junk Yard Alley" named for all the vehicles that didn't survive the trail and are there to this day. There was one or two minor mud holes on this section, just enough to get that mud on the exhaust pipe smell. We proceed down another loop that unfortunately Jim had to pass on, since it was too narrow for his full size pickup. Due to our recent drought, we made it through with no problems
We regrouped with the full sized trucks and started climbing to the top of Lamentation Mt. on a trail that had some fun rock steps. The "Cigarette Lighter" was the first step to give us any trouble. A guy in a CJ-7 had trouble getting over it, finally realizing one of his hubs wasn't engaging properly and he had an open front. He go over on momentum in 2WD and pulled aside to fix his hub. A full sized Chevy pickup managed to hit one of his cross members on the small protruding rock at the top of the step and give spectators a view of the shower of sparks that give this obstacle its name.
After the "Cigarette Lighter" we continued easily up some dried out mud holes that are normally quite difficult. We stopped around 1 for lunch at the top of Lamentation Mt. Nice view up there. Jim's '95 Dodge going down "The Squeeze"
After lunch we headed down mostly on the same trail, but we also took a spur to "The Squeeze". The Squeeze is formed by two rock out croppings that create an interesting off camber situation. Since the out croppings have steep sides you have to go down with one tire on top of the out cropping and one in the middle. I watched Mark go through since his CJ is similar to mine and he caught a lot of air with his left rear tire. I went through next and it felt like I caught a lot of air. I steered into the potential roll and the rear dropped down. Jim did catch a bit of air, but his long wheelbase Dodge made it look easy.
Even though the dry weather made the trail a bit easier than normal the trip was a lot of fun. I met a lot of great people and got to wheel for the first time with Mark and Jim. Hopefully, I'll be wheeling with them and the rest of Long Island Offroad again soon.
