When creating any widget (other than a <toplevel>), the widget's parent is passed as a positional argument to the create macro before the keyword arguments. Below we first create an appropriately titled toplevel window top to display the label. Next we create the label, passing top as a positional argument before the keyword arguments title: and font: which specify the string to be displayed and the font to display it in. We request a 14 point bold italic Times font. For labels and many other widgets that display text, the width/char: keyword is used to specify the width of the widget in characters. If width: is omitted, the label shrinks to fit its text. Here we specify a width of 30 characters to show that a label centers its text by default. The placement of the text can be adjusted with the anchor: and justify: keywords. Finally, to make the label visible we call the show method. The toplevel is visible by default.
(let ([top (create <toplevel> with (title: "Label Example"))])
(let ([label (create <label> top with (title: "This is a label")
(font: (create <font> 'times 14 '(bold italic))) (width/char: 30))])
(show label)))
When creating any widget (other than a <toplevel>), the widget's parent is passed as a positional argument to the create macro before the keyword arguments. Here we create a button with top as its parent. Initially the button displays "Never been clicked". The action: keyword introduces a procedure of one argument (the instance) to be called whenever the button is clicked. In this example, the callback procedure changes the title of the button, using set-title!, each time the button is clicked. We could also have written (set-option! button (title: ...)). Note that the width of the button is adjusted to fit its title whenever the title changes because we have not specified a value for the width: keyword. To make the button visible we call the show method.
(let ([top (create <toplevel> with (title: "Button Example"))])
(let ([button (create <button> top with (title: "Never been clicked")
(action:
(let ([count 0])
(lambda (self)
(set! count (+ count 1))
(set-title! self (format "~a click(s)" count))))))])

The <example-canvas> class below extends the mouse-press, mouse-release, and mouse-motion methods of the <canvas> class. The mouse-press method notifies a widget of the x- and y-coordinates and the state of the modifier keys when a mouse button is pressed while the mouse is over the widget. Using event-case, we inspect the set of modifiers to see whether the left mouse button is pressed. If so, we record the starting positions, update the help text displayed in the <label>, and create a new rectangle on the canvas at the place where the mouse was clicked. Otherwise we send the mouse-press notification on to the base class using the send-base syntax.
The mouse-motion method notifies a widget of the x- and y-coordinates and the state of the modifier keys when the mouse moves over the widget. If the left button is pressed, we update the coordinates of the rectangle to reflect the current position of the mouse.
The mouse-release method notifies a widget of the x- and y-coordinates and the state of the modifier keys when a mouse button is released while the mouse is over the widget. If the left button was released, we reset the state of the widget and reset the help text.
Although the example below does not demonstrate this, individual figures on the canvas can have event methods of their own. For instance, it is relatively easy to make the rectangles draggable with mouse button 2, or to make them resizable after they have been drawn.
(let* ([top (create <toplevel> with (title: "Canvas Example"))]

We create a toplevel window top, an entry 20 characters wide called entry, and a horizontal scrollbar called scroll. We arrange for the entry to have the focus when top has focus via set-focus. Next we set entry's hscroll-notify: procedure to a procedure that informs the scrollbar scroll of the new left and right extents of the entry. This lets the scrollbar represent the position and size of the current view in the entry relative to the entry's total content. We set the action for the scrollbar to be a procedure that passes its number and qualifier arguments to the hscroll method of the entry. This tells the scrollbar who to notify and how to notify them when the user manipulates the slider vi keyboard or mouse.
Next we create a button titled "done" that retrieves via get-string the contents of the entry, prints the resulting string, then destroys the application by destroying the toplevel window top. The button and scrollbar are packed so that they expand and fill the horizontal dimension of their parent top. The entry is packed without these properties to illustrate the difference when the toplevel is resized. Run the demo, type a long string in entry, and try scrolling the contents.
(let* ([top (create <toplevel> with (title: "Entry Example"))]
[entry (create <entry> top with (width/char: 20))]
[scroll (create <scrollbar> top with (orientation: 'horizontal))])
(set-focus entry)
(set-option!
entry
(hscroll-notify: (lambda (left right) (set-view! scroll left right))))
(set-option! scroll (action: (lambda (self n q) (hscroll entry n q))))
(pack

(action:
(lambda (self) (printf "Entry: ~s~n" (get-string entry)) (destroy top))))
(expand: #t)
(fill: 'x))
(pack entry)
(pack scroll (expand: #t) (fill: 'x)))
In the following example we create a toplevel window containing a listbox. We use the make-menu macro to construct a menu with two top level entries, "_File" and "_Edit". The subforms make-menu are lists associating a string label with a procedure or a submenu. For example, the "_Open" label is associated with a procedure, returned by say, that inserts a string in the listbox lb, and the "_Disable" item is associated with a submenu constructed using make-menu. The underscore characters (`_') in the menu titles may be used to post a menu by pressing Alt and the letter following the underscore in the title of that menu. For example, pressing Alt+f posts the "File" menu.
Note how the entire "Edit" menu is enabled and disabled using set-enabled!. Individual menu items are enabled and disabled similarly. Below we use the find procedure to retrieve these items, but they could also be bound explicitly if the menu were constructed by hand.
The menu is installed on the <toplevel> window using the set-menu! method, and then the listbox lb is made visible under the frame via show.
(let* ([top (create <toplevel> with (title: "Menu Example"))]
[lb (create <listbox> top)]

(show lb))
The "Open" item on the "File" menu uses swl:file-dialog to present the user with a choice of filenames via the file selection dialog of the native window system. The 'open flag requires that the user specify an existing file. The optional file-types: parameter restricts the display to files with an extension matching "*.ss". If the user does not cancel out of the dialog, a string corresponding to the chosen filename is returned. In this case we update the title of the <toplevel> window accordingly, delete all text from the <text> widget, insert the contents of the file, and record the name of the selected file so that the file can be loaded when the "Run" menu item is selected.
(let ()
(define read-file

(pack sf (expand: #t) (fill: 'both))))
Below we create an appropriately titled toplevel window top to display a label. We create a <photo>, specifying the name of the file that contains the data. Currently supported file types are GIF and PPM. Next we create the label, with top as its parent, and specify the <photo> as the value for the keyword argument title:. Finally, to make the label visible we call the show method. The toplevel is visible by default.
The <bitmap> class is used just as the <photo> class, except that the specified file must contain monochrome X11 bitmap data.
(let ([top (create <toplevel> with (title: "Label Image Example"))]
[earth (create <photo> with (filename: "earth.gif"))])

Ajit Pawar blackmailed, Saamana will expose culprits: Sanjay Raut
Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut has been a busy man this Saturday morning. His party, like the rest of the Opposition in Maharashtra, is reeling from the news that the BJP is suddenly back in power thanks to an NCP leader who switched alliances.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Ajit Pawar blackmailed; he could come back: Sanjay Raut
- Shiv Sena, NCP, Congress in shock after morning coup
- Fadnavis, Ajit Pawar sworn in as stunned nation looked on
Does Surprise Saturday need more drama? Yes, apparently. Would you believe Sanjay Raut now claims Ajit Pawar -- the rebel NCP leader who stunned nearly everyone by unexpectedly throwing his weight behind a BJP government in Maharashtra -- was blackmailed?
And there's more. The Shiv Sena leader, who happens to be the executive editor of party mouthpiece Saamana, has promised to reveal the culpits in the newspaper.
Raut even says there's a possibility that Ajit Pawar will come back.
Five out of "8 MLAs" who went with Ajit Pawar returned, Raut said, adding that these lawmakers had been lied to, put in a car and "sort of kidnapped".
For now, the Shiv Sena and the NCP are putting a united front in the wake of this morning's astounding developments: an early-morning swearing-in, the sight of Ajit Pawar taking oath along with Devendra Fadnavis, the complete surprise expressed by top NCP leaders, including Sharad Pawar (Ajit's uncle).
While Pawar senior has warned his MLAs against defecting -- pointing to the existence of an anti-defection law -- Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray has described the BJP's move as a "surgical strike" against Maharashtra.
Sharad Pawar has said that a decision on replacing Ajit Pawar as the NCP's legislature party leader will be taken at a later meeting.

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
For the tarts, cut out the puff pastry to fit six 10cm/4in tart cases. Line the cases with the puff pastry and place into the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.
Prick the base of the pastry in each tart case with a knife, then line with baking paper and baking beans or rice and place onto a baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and bake blind for 15 minutes.
Remove the baking paper and baking beans from the tart cases and return the tarts to the oven to bake for a further 5-8 minutes, until cooked through and golden. Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, place the pears, lemon zest and juice and sugar into a pan and cover with water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the pears are cooked and tender. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
For the cream, place the vanilla seeds and milk into a pan and bring to the boil.
Meanwhile, place the egg yolks, sugar and cornflower into a bowl and mix well.
Once the milk is boiling, pour onto the egg mixture and whisk vigorously. Pour the custard mixture back into the pan and bring back to the boil, stirring constantly.
Once the mixture has reached boiling point, take the pan off the heat and allow to cool.
Meanwhile, pour the pear liqueur into the cream and whip until soft peaks are formed when the whisk is removed.
Fold the cream mixture into the custard gently, so as not to lose too much volume.
Place the apricot jam into a saucepan with a teaspoon of water and warm through.
Fill the cooled pastry cases with the pear liqueur cream.
Place a poached pear half onto a board and cut into slices. Fan the pear slices slightly and gently place onto the cream.
Pour the warm apricot sauce over the pears.
To serve, place each tart onto a dessert plate and garnish with a sprig of mint.


Overview
From NifTools
The Maya NIF File Translator currently supports importing and exporting
static (non-animated) NIF files. Pre-compiled versions are available for Maya
6.5, 7.0, 8.0, and 8.5 for Windows. To use on other versions of Maya or other
operating systems, you will need to compile from source.
This Plug-in will not import all data in the NIF file or export all data
from your Maya scene. Make sure you do not overwrite your original NIF files.
See below for a list of what is and not supported as of version 0.5.7.
Known Issues
- Importing normalís does not work on skinned meshes
- Changes to an already bound skin will not show up in the
export. This issue is because of the way Maya works. The solution is to
delete all non-deformer history. Note that if you accidentally
delete all history, all your skins will be detached, so check to
make sure your skins still work before saving.
What is Currently Supported
Import
The following are imported:
- NiNodes are imported as either transforms or ikJoints.
- NiTriShapes and NiTriStrips are imported as polygon
meshes.
- NiAlphaProperty and NiSpecularProperty are honored.
- NiMaterialProperties and NiTexturingProperties are
imported as Phong shaders.
- Meshes with a NiSkinInstance are bound to the skeleton.
- Simple collision boxes used in some games are imported as
implicitBox nodes.
The following are not imported:
- Animation of any kind
- Oblivion Havok collision information.
- Special nodes like Billboards lose their special
properties.
- Cameras
- Lights
- Environment Maps
- Anything else not listed
Export
The following are exported:
- Polygon meshes (triangulation is not necessary).
Components exported are vertex positions, normals, vertex colors and UV
coordinates for supported texture types. They can either be in triangle
list or triangle strip format.
- DAG nodes other than meshes are exported as NiNodes and
include transform information. Maya's default DAG nodes like the default
cameras are ignored. Visibility is exported by flagging the NiNode as
hidden. History items are not exported.
- Any shaders connected to a mesh. Meshes are automatically
split into multiple NiTriShapes by material. Attributes exported are
color, transparency (averaged), ambient color, incandescence, and specular
color. Color and incandescence can be textures.
- Any textures connected to a mesh through a material's
color or incandescence attributes. Paths are fixed to remove anything in
the texture folder option.
- Skin bindings are exported so long as only one skin
cluster affects a mesh.
- Implicit box nodes with their transform parented to
another transform node are treated as simple collision boxes used in some
games. To create one, execute the following command in the command line at
the bottom of the screen: createNode implicitBox; You can then
parent this box to the node that will hold the simple collision box.
The following are not exported:
- Animation of any kind
- Oblivion Havok collision information.
- Cameras
- Lights
- Environment Maps
- Anything else not listed


iPad Pro may be a powerful tablet, but we still prefer MacBook Air
Lightweight power
MacBook Air
Powerful iOS computing
iPad Pro
The MacBook Air is a lightweight and super portable computer that has a gorgeous 13-inch Retina Display screen with two USB-C ports. It also has a powerful i5 processor, and you can configure it to have an SSD up to 1TB and 16GB of RAM. However, it only comes in the 13-inch size and starts north of $1000.
Pros
- 13-inch Retina Display
- Super lightweight and compact
- Two USB-C ports
- Dual-core Intel i5 processor with up to 1TB storage and 16GB RAM
- Runs macOS
Cons
- Starts above $1000
- Only 720p FaceTime HD Camera
The iPad Pro is a great computing device if you need to do things like writing, researching, simple coding, photo and video editing, and more tasks with iPadOS. You can choose the more portable 11-inch size, or go big with the 12.9-inch, and take great photos and video with the two cameras. However, you're still limited by iPadOS and iPad hardware.
Pros
- Available in 11-inch or 12.9-inch sizes
- Liquid Retina Display
- 12MP Camera with 4K video recording and 7MP TrueDepth Camera
- A12X Bionic Chip and configurable up to 1TB of storage
- USB-C port
Cons
- Still limited by iPadOS
- Only one USB-C port
- Starts at only 64GB storage
- Caps out at 4GB RAM
While iOS and iPadOS have come quite a ways since Apple first introduced the iPad, it still has some limitations when compared to a full desktop computing operating system like macOS. If you want a true computer without any limits, then the MacBook Air is the better buy. If you don't mind the limitations of iOS and just need a powerful tablet to do your entertainment and work on, then there's nothing wrong with the iPad Pro.
It comes down to what you're looking to do

Both the MacBook Air and iPad Pro are similar in terms of size (the 12.9 especially), but that's about it, honestly. We think that the MacBook Air is the better buy of the two because you're getting a full-featured computer experience with macOS while having a lightweight and portable package that can go with you anywhere. Plus, it just feels more natural to use for productivity, and you get true multitasking without weird RAM hiccups like constant refreshing of suspending apps on iOS/PadOS 13.
| MacBook Air | iPad Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Starting at $1099 | Starting at $799 |
| Size | 13-inch | 11-inch or 12.9-inch |
| Screen | Retina Display | Liquid Retina Display |
| Processor/Chip | Intel Dual-Core i5 | A12X Bionic |
| Charging | USB-C | USB-C |
| Ports | Two USB-C | One USB-C |
| Operating System | macOS | iPadOS |
| Starting storage | 128GB | 64GB |
| Configurable storage | Up to 1TB | Up to 1TB |
| RAM | 8GB, configurable up to 16GB | 4GB |
| Camera | 720p FaceTime HD | 12MP with 4K video and 7MP TrueDepth Camera |
While the MacBook Air has a higher starting price point than the iPad Pro, we think that it's comparable if you look at similar storage space and capabilities. For a 256GB 12.9-inch iPad Pro, it costs $1149 for Wi-Fi only (or $949 if you go the smaller route), but again, you only have 4GB of RAM, one USB-C port for charging and anything else, and you are limited to iPadOS. For $1299, you get a 256GB MacBook Air with a 13-inch Retina Display, Intel Dual-Core i5 processor, 8GB of starting RAM, two USB-C ports, and it runs macOS, which is much more capable than iPadOS.
With a MacBook Air, you're able to do pretty much anything you would need, such as social media, email, writing, programming, and testing out apps in XCode, photo and video editing, graphic design, project management, finance, and much more. And since it runs macOS, you have true multitasking with much more than three apps running at once. Plus, the MacBook Air is the most portable laptop offering from Apple — it's so lightweight that you'll forget you even have it with you sometimes.

Meanwhile, even though the iPad Pro comes in a smaller 11-inch size, you get fewer ports, RAM, and must use iPadOS. Though iPadOS has come quite a way since iPads first came out, it's still held back by limitations, such as only having three active apps on screen at a time through Split View and Slide Over modes. iOS also likes to refresh suspended apps after a period of idleness, which means multitasking is slightly hampered.
If you do not mind having to use iPadOS to do everything (it's possible, but can take more time than using a Mac), then an iPad Pro could be your only computer. However, we require a bit more for our computing needs, which is why we think a MacBook Air is better.
We recommend a Mac for serious computing
Apple has made a lot of improvements in iPadOS, and while it's good for basic, short-term sessions, we can't recommend it if you need something for longer periods. Multitasking with iPadOS involves using Split Screen and Slide Over apps, which is at most three apps or windows of one app on-screen at once. With a MacBook Air running macOS, you can have pretty much an unlimited number of windows open, and they will truly continue to run in the background, and not be put into a suspended state as it would be on iOS/iPadOS. Plus, windows can be resized to however big or small you need them to be on macOS, instead of the 50/50 or 25/75 or 75/25 ratio in Split Screen or on-third screen size Slide Over window.
And keep in mind that the iPad Pro, despite the "Pro" moniker, will always be limited to 4GB of RAM, regardless of the screen size and storage capacity you choose. The MacBook Air starts out with 8GB, which is already double the RAM of the iPad Pro, and you can even configure it up to 16GB if need be. Having more RAM is always a good thing, as it makes the machine feel and run faster, and it can handle even more resource-intensive tasks like video editing.
Portable computing
MacBook Air
Lightweight power for everyone
MacBook Air is Apple's most portable computer and can do pretty much anything you need it to on macOS without limitations aside from the camera and graphics card.
 But keep in mind that you're still dealing with iPadOS, which is still not quite the same as macOS.

# Google Sheets
### Loading CSV data from Google spreadsheet
Janne Kaistinen -<EMAIL_ADDRESS>## What is it?
> An Elixir application for polling CSV data from Google spreadsheet(s)
* Loading functionality can be used as library
* Extensible, write your own loader to poll data from any source
## Why do it?
* Dynamic configuration for balancing and experimentation
* No need to deploy new server when configuration changes
* Google spreadsheet is good for collobaration
* Fast iteration
## Functionality
* Loading data from a source
* From a directory containing .csv files
* Using Google spreadsheet API
* Polling data
* Separate updater process for each configured spreadsheet
* Initial and polling updates can use different loader
* Fetching and saving spreadsheet locally
* Mix task gs.fetch
Loaders
- Any module implementing GoogleSheets.Loader behaviour
- Returns a SpreadSheetData structure
- sheets is a list of worksheets to load, or an empty list for loading all available
- previous_version is the previous value returned by an earlier call to loader
- config is a keyword list, specific for each loader
defcallback load(
sheets :: [binary],
previous_version :: binary | nil,
config :: Keyword.t
) :: {version :: binary, SpreadSheetData.t} | :unchanged | :error
Loader data structures
defmodule GoogleSheets.SpreadSheetData do
defstruct src: nil, hash: nil, sheets: []
end
defmodule GoogleSheets.WorkSheetData do
defstruct name: nil, src: nil, hash: nil, csv: nil
end
## Application
* Supervisor with one_for_one strategy
* Updater process started for each configured spreadsheet
* Each version is stored with a unique key in ETS table
* Latest version with :latest key
![Supervisor Tree](supervisortree.png)
Configuration
config :google_sheets, ets_table: :google_sheets,
spreadsheets: [
[
id: :test_spreadsheet,
sheets: ["KeyValue", "KeyTable", "KeyIndexTable"],
poll_delay_seconds: 120,
callback_module: nil,
loader_init: [
module: GoogleSheets.Loader.FileSystem,
dir: "priv/data"
],
loader_poll: [
module: GoogleSheets.Loader.Docs,
url: "https://spreadsheets.google.com/..."
],
]
]
Callbacks
- Get notified when new version is available
- Transform SpreadSheetData.t into application format
- Implement GoogleSheets.Callback behaviour
# Called when the updated field of the feed was equal to last poll
defcallback on_unchanged(id :: atom) :: any
# Called when data has been loaded, but before persisting to ETS,
# can be used to change the persisted data to any format desired
defcallback on_loaded(id :: atom, data :: SpreadSheetData.t) ::
{:ok, any} | :error
# Called after the data has been persisted to ETS,
# data is equal to the one returned from on_loaded callback
defcallback on_saved(id :: atom, data :: any) :: any
## Learnings
* Let it crash, don't try to catch exceptions or errors
* Design your application so that it has a known good state at initialization
* Filesystem loader was implemented because of this
* Don't crash again immediately when process is started again by supervisor
* Behaviours are nice for extendability

NAME
random_r, srandom_r, initstate_r, setstate_r - reentrant
random number generator
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdlib.h>
int random_r(struct random_data *buf, int32_t *result);
int srandom_r(unsigned int seed, struct random_data *buf);
int initstate_r(unsigned int seed, char *statebuf,
size_t statelen, struct random_data *buf);
int setstate_r(char *statebuf, struct random_data *buf);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
random_r(),
srandom_r(),
initstate_r(),
setstate_r():
-
_SVID_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
These functions are the reentrant equivalents
of the functions described in
random(3).
They are suitable for use in multithreaded programs where each thread
needs to obtain an independent, reproducible sequence of random numbers.
The
random_r()
function is like
random(3),
except that instead of using state information maintained
in a global variable,
it uses the state information in the argument pointed to by
buf.
The generated random number is returned in the argument
result.
The
srandom_r()
function is like
srandom(3),
except that it initializes the seed for the random number generator
whose state is maintained in the object pointed to by
buf,
instead of the seed associated with the global state variable.
The
initstate_r()
function is like
initstate(3)
except that it initializes the state in the object pointed to by
buf,
rather than initializing the global state variable.
The
setstate_r()
function is like
setstate(3)
except that it modifies the state in the object pointer to by
buf,
rather than modifying the global state variable.
RETURN VALUE
All of these functions return 0 on success.
On error, -1 is returned, with
errno
set to indicate the cause of the error.
ERRORS
- EINVAL
-
A state array of less than 8 bytes was specified to
initstate_r().
- EINVAL
-
The
statebuf
or
buf
argument to
setstate_r()
was NULL.
- EINVAL
-
The
buf
or
result
argument to
random_r()
was NULL.
ATTRIBUTES
Multithreading (see pthreads(7))
The
random_r(),
srandom_r(),
initstate_r(),
and
setstate_r()
functions are thread-safe.
CONFORMING TO
These functions are nonstandard glibc extensions.

CxImage
is a C++ class to manage almost any kind of images.
It can load, save, display, transform images in a very simple and fast way.
Why another image library? Around there are many good libraries (OpenIL, FreeImage, PaintLib ...), these are powerful, complete, and constantly updated. However if you ever try to use them, you may find some difficulties; because these libraries are mainly platform independent, written in C, sometimes with a basic C++ wrapper and with tons of compiler switch declarations. Now with the new GDI+ classes on the scene, maybe CxImage isn't so useful, but at least here you have the source code. It is not a MFC library, altogether it's a windows library, because of some particular constructors and the painting functions, but the backbone is platform independent.
In the vertical hierarchy of the library, CxImage
stays on the
top of the other modules, it's not a clean OOP approach, but the result was good
since the first release and now it's too late to change again. Anyway you can
always use the derived classes to perform the format specific operations, like
for CxImageTIF
to save multipage TIFFs.
The glue to connect all the modules and the C libraries is
CxFile
, a virtual class that provides the standard methods to
access the data from a file on the disk or in memory.
A Cximage
object is basically a bitmap, with the addition of
some member variables to store useful information:
class CxImage { ... protected: void* pDib; //contains the header, the palette, the pixels BITMAPINFOHEADER head; //standard header CXIMAGEINFO info; //extended information BYTE* pSelection; //selected region BYTE* pAlpha; //alpha channel CxImage** pLayers; //generic layers }
CxImage::head
is the bitmap header and
CxImage::pDib
is a normal bitmap (as you can see in the
implementation of CxImageBMP::Encode
).
CxImage::info
is a handy container of many information shared
between different formats, and for all the member functions.
typedef struct tagCxImageInfo { DWORD dwEffWidth; //DWORD aligned scan line width BYTE* pImage; //THE IMAGE BITS void* pGhost; //if this is a ghost, pGhost point to the body DWORD dwType; //original image format char szLastError[256]; //debugging long nProgress; //monitor long nEscape; //escape long nBkgndIndex; //used for GIF, PNG, MNG RGBQUAD nBkgndColor; //used for RGB transparency BYTE nQuality; //used for JPEG long nFrame; //used for TIF, GIF, MNG : actual frame long nNumFrames; //used for TIF, GIF, MNG : total number of frames DWORD dwFrameDelay; //used for GIF, MNG long xDPI; //horizontal resolution long yDPI; //vertical resolution RECT rSelectionBox; //bounding rectangle BYTE nAlphaMax; //max opacity (fade) bool bAlphaPaletteEnabled; //true if alpha values in the palette are // enabled. bool bEnabled; //enables the painting functions long xOffset; long yOffset; DWORD dwEncodeOption; //for GIF, TIF : 0=def.1=unc,2=fax3,3=fax4, // 4=pack,5=jpg RGBQUAD last_c; //for GetNearestIndex optimization BYTE last_c_index; bool last_c_isvalid; long nNumLayers; DWORD dwFlags; } CXIMAGEINFO;
|
A CxImage object is also a set of layers. The buffers in each layer are allocated only when necessary.
|
The whole library is quite big, in the configuration header file
ximacfg.h you'll find the switches to enable or disable a specific
graphic format or feature. Each JPG, PNG and TIFF library adds about 100KB to
the final application, while the CxImage
impact is about 50KB. So
you should support and link only the formats that your application really
needs.

The CxImgLib.dsw workspace shows the libraries required to build
an application (demo.exe) including almost all the features and the
formats available in CxImage. You must compile all the libraries before
you can link the final application.
Building the projects will need some minutes to complete (the intermediate files occupy 60MB!). When everything is done, select the demo project and launch the application. |
CxImgLib.dsw |
To use CxImage in your project, you must edit these settings:
Project Settings |- C/C++ | |- Code Generation | | |- Use run-time library : Multithreaded DLL (must be the same for | | | all the linked libraries) | | |- Struct member alignment : must be the same for all the linked | | | libraries | |- Precompiled headers : not using precompiled headers | |- Preprocessor | |- Additional Include Directories: ..\cximage |- Link |- General |- Object/library modules: ../png/Debug/png.lib ../jpeg/Debug/jpeg.lib ../zlib/Debug/zlib.lib ../tiff/Debug/tiff.lib ../jasper/Debug/jasper.lib ../cximage/Debug/cximage.lib ...
Writing a new function for image processing is not so hard with CxImage. Here
I'm going to describe CxImage::Jitter
, it's very simple but it
shows many aspects to take care when you work inside CxImage. The first thing,
of course, is the declaration : bool Jitter(long radius=2);
in the
CXIMAGE_SUPPORT_DSP section of ximage.h, you can declare the function everywhere
in the public
scope of the class. And now the definition:
bool CxImage::Jitter(long radius) { // check if the image is valid, this should be always the first line in // the function if (!pDib) return false; // local variables long nx,ny; // temporary image to store the partial results of the algorithm CxImage tmp(*this,pSelection!=0,true,true); // limit the effects of the functions only in the smallest rectangle that // holds the selected region (defined with the Selection...() functions ), // this will speed up the loops. long xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax; if (pSelection){ xmin = info.rSelectionBox.left; xmax = info.rSelectionBox.right; ymin = info.rSelectionBox.bottom; ymax = info.rSelectionBox.top; } else { xmin = ymin = 0; xmax = head.biWidth; ymax=head.biHeight; } // main loop : scan the image in vertical direction for(long y=ymin; y <ymax; y++){ // monitor the progress of the loops info.nProgress = (long)(100*y/head.biHeight); // let the application a way to exit quickly if (info.nEscape) break; // main loop : scan the image in horizontal direction for(long x=xmin; x<xmax; x++){ // if the feature is enabled, process only the pixels inside the // selected region #if CXIMAGE_SUPPORT_SELECTION if (SelectionIsInside(x,y)) #endif //CXIMAGE_SUPPORT_SELECTION { // main algorithm nx=x+(long)((rand()/(float)RAND_MAX - 0.5)*(radius*2)); ny=y+(long)((rand()/(float)RAND_MAX - 0.5)*(radius*2)); if (!IsInside(nx,ny)) { nx=x; ny=y; } // save the result in the temporary image. // if you can, use PixelColor only for 24 bpp images, // and PixelIndex for 8, 4 and 1 bpp images : it's faster if (head.biClrUsed==0){ tmp.SetPixelColor(x,y,GetPixelColor(nx,ny)); } else { tmp.SetPixelIndex(x,y,GetPixelIndex(nx,ny)); } // if the feature is enabled, process also the pixels // in the alpha layer #if CXIMAGE_SUPPORT_ALPHA tmp.AlphaSet(x,y,AlphaGet(nx,ny)); #endif //CXIMAGE_SUPPORT_ALPHA } } } // save the result and exit Transfer(tmp); return true; }
CxImage image; // bmp -> jpg image.Load("image.bmp", CXIMAGE_FORMAT_BMP); if (image.IsValid()){ if(!image.IsGrayScale()) image.IncreaseBpp(24); image.SetJpegQuality(99); image.Save("image.jpg",CXIMAGE_FORMAT_JPG); } // png -> tif image.Load("image.png", CXIMAGE_FORMAT_PNG); if (image.IsValid()){ image.Save("image.tif",CXIMAGE_FORMAT_TIF); }
//Load the resource IDR_PNG1 from the PNG resource type CxImage* newImage = new CxImage(); newImage->LoadResource(FindResource(NULL,MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDR_PNG1), "PNG"),CXIMAGE_FORMAT_PNG);or

Starting form my CxDib
class, that implements memory DIBs only,
I tried to add some members to read images from files. Looking for a solution,
I found a nice MFC class named CImage
on the net, release 1.4 (1998).
CImage
supports BMP, GIF, PNG and JPG, but suffers many little
bugs and uses a complex class structure, so I decided to strip it to the base
and merge CxDib
with the CImage
philosophy, to obtain
the new CxImage
class. Also I updated the libraries for JPG, PNG
and ZLIB.
With CxImage
is very easy to add new image types, so I added the
TIFF library (rev. 6) and a minimal support for ICON
s, MNG, TGA
and PCX. Finally I added some specific functions to obtain an image from global
HANDLE
s (windows clipboard) and objects (windows resources).
With the release 5, CxImage has now a good support for memory files, new methods
and file formats, and it is more portable.

Geingob says SWAPO is the only party that can guarantee positive growth
President Hage Geingob says SWAPO's track record in terms of freedom and socio-economic development shows that it is the only party that can guarantee a continued positive growth trajectory for the country.
The ruling party held its final rally in Windhoek, where Geingob told members and supporters that SWAPO stabilised the economy, even in times of global economic recession.


These Brussels Sprouts Make The Perfect Keto-Friendly Thanksgiving Side
by Certified holistic nutrition consultantThis shredded Brussels sprouts with bacon recipe will satisfy every keto-eating person at your Thanksgiving table.
The smokiness of the bacon and the saltiness of the Parmesan cheese are the perfect low-carb complements to the Brussels sprouts' earthy flavor. If you have extra time, you can soak the Brussels sprouts for an hour in salt water before shredding them to cut some of their characteristic bitterness.
If you want to kick it up a notch, add a little sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes to the pan while the Brussels sprouts are cooking.
Shredded Brussels Sprouts With Bacon
Serves 6
Ingredients:
- 6 slices no-sugar-added bacon
- 3 tablespoons grass-fed butter
- ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- ¼ cup pine nuts
- 2 (10-ounce) bags shaved Brussels sprouts
- 2 green onions, minced
- ½ teaspoon seasoning salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
Method:
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook until crispy, about 7 minutes, flipping once. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate.
- Reserve 2 tablespoons of bacon grease and dispose of the rest safely. Add butter to pan and allow to melt. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds before adding pine nuts. Cook until pine nuts start to brown, about 3 minutes.
- Add Brussels sprouts, green onions, salt, and pepper to the pan and cook until Brussels sprouts are tender but still slightly crispy, about 8 minutes.
- While Brussels sprouts are cooking, roughly chop bacon.
- When Brussels sprouts are tender, stir in bacon and Parmesan cheese. Serve hot.

For example, to connect from port 64:0 to 65:0, run as follows:- % aconnect 64:0 65:0
The connection is one-way, and the whole data to the sender port (64:0) is redirected to the receiver port (65:0). When another port (e.g. 65:1) is attached to the same sender port, the data is sent to both receiver ports. For disconnection, use -d option.
% aconnect -d 64:0 65:0
The address can be given using the client's name.
% aconnect External:0 Emu8000:1
Then the port 0 of the client matching with the string "External" is connected to the port 1 of the client matching with the "Emu8000".
Another function of aconnect is to list the present ports on the given condition. The input ports, which may become sender ports, can be listed with -i option.
% aconnect -i client 0: 'System' [type=kernel] 0 'Timer ' 1 'Announce ' client 64: 'External MIDI-0' [type=kernel] 0 'MIDI 0-0 '
Similarly, to see the output ports, use -o flag.
You can remove all existing exported connections using -x option. This function is useful for terminating the ALSA drivers, because the modules with sequencer connections cannot be unloaded unless their connections are removed.
OPTIONS
CONNECTION MANAGEMENT
- -d, --disconnect
- Disconnect the given subscription.
- -e, --exclusive
- Connect ports with exclusive mode. Both sender and receiver ports can be no longer connected by any other ports.
- -r, --real queue
- Convert time-stamps of event packets to the current value of the given real-time queue. This is option is, however, not so useful, since the receiver port must use (not necessarily own) the specified queue.
- -t, --tick queue
-
Like
-r
option, but
time-stamps are converted to the current value of the given
tick
queue.
LIST PORTS
- -i, --input
- List existing input (readable) ports. This option is exclusive to -o.
- -o, --output
- List existing output (writable) ports. This option is exclusive to -i.
- -l, --list
-
List the current connection status. The connected and connecting ports
from/to each port are listed together.
The suffix flag
[ex]
means the connection is exclusive.
The suffix flag
[real:#]
and
[tick:#]
mean the connection includes real-time and tick conversion on the listed
queue, respectively.
REMOVE ALL CONNECTIONS
- -x, --removeall
-
Remove all exported connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this service free to use?
Yes! Note, however, that Neuroscout is a web-based engine for fMRI analysis specification; at the moment, we don't provide free computing resources for the execution of the resulting analysis bundles.
I plan to publish results I've obtained using Neuroscout, how do I cite?
After you generate an analysis, a "Bibliography" tab will be shown which will auto-generate a reference list for the dataset, feature extractors, and scientific software used for that analysis. In addition to these references, be sure to include the unique analysis ID associated with any results.
Are there any restrictions on analyses I've created?
Yes. By using Neuroscout, you agree that once you have finalized and "compiled" an analysis, the analysis can no longer be deleted from our system. If you wish to 'edit' an Analysis, you may clone the analysis, and make any desired changed on the forked version. Although analyses are by default not searchable by other users, any user with the private analysis ID may view your analysis.
Also, in the event that you publish any results generated using the NeuroScout interface, you MUST provide a link to the corresponding analysis page(s) on the NeuroScout website.
I have a naturalistic study I'd like to share on Neuroscout, how do I do so?
Due to the financial cost of extracting features from multi-modal stimuli using external APIs, the set of datasets we support is manually curated. However, we are continually expanding the list of supported datasets, and we encourage researchers to contact us if they want to make their data available for use in Neuroscout. Note that it is much easier for us to ingest datasets that are already deposited in the OpenNeuro repository, and we we strongly recommend uploading your dataset to OpenNeuro whether or not it eventually ends up in Neuroscout.
I want to make changes to an analysis I already ran, but it is locked. How can I edit it?
Once an analysis has been run, it is permanently locked and archived for provenance. You may "clone" your analysis, and make changes to this new copy of your analysis.
I want to make one of my "private" analyses public, but the website says the analysis is "locked"!
When an analysis is locked, you can no longer make any substantive changes that affect model specification. However, you can always edit the name, description, and public/private status. So go ahead and make your analysis public!
How do you automatically extract features from naturalistic datasets?
The original stimuli presented to users are submitted to various machine learning algorithms and services to extract novel feature timecourses. To facility this process, we have developed a Python library for multimodal feature extraction called pliers. Pliers allows us to extract a wide-variety of features across modalities using various external content analysis services with ease. For example, we are able to use Google Vision API to encode various aspects of the visual elements of movie frames, such as when a face is present. In addition, pliers allows us to easily link up various feature extraction services; for example, we can use the IBM Watson Speech to Text API to transcribe the speech in a movie into words with precise onsets, and then use a predefined dictionary of lexical norms to extract lexical norms for each word, such as frequency. We can then generate timecourses for each of these extracted features, creating novel predictors of brain activity. For more information of pliers, please see the GitHub repository and the following paper:
McNamara, Q., De La Vega, A., & Yarkoni, T. (2017, August). Developing a comprehensive framework for multimodal feature extraction. In Proceedings of the 23rd ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (pp. 1567-1574). ACM.
Am I restricted to mass univariate GLMs, or can I use Neuroscout to specify other kinds of analyses?
Currently, that is the case. However,the underlying BIDS-StatsModel is designed with more complex models in mind, such as predictive and linear-mixed effect models
Can I contribute my own predictors to Neuroscout?
Yes! Using the "My Predictors" function, you can create custom collections of predictors to add to your analyses. Simply navigate to My Predictors, and click on "Add New Predictors".
Features should be in BIDS-compliant events format. Two columns are mandatory: "onset" and "duration" (both in seconds). You can then include any number of novel predictors as additional columns. Missing values can be annotated using the value "n/a" (no quotes).
For each events file that you upload, you will be asked to associate it with runs in the respective dataset. Typically, there will be a different event file for each run in a naturalistic dataset. You must then associate each file with subjects. For example, in most cases, all subjects will have seen the same stimulus, but this will vary across datasets.
After uploading, a new collection of predictors will be created. By default, predictors in this collection will be private, and only visible to you in the Analysis Builder. If you wish to share these predictors with other Neuroscout users, please contact us, and we can make your predictors public.

Mumford (1999) Reviewed by Eugene Novikov http://www.ultimate-movie.com/ Member: Online Film Critics Society
** out of four
"Kind of impatient for a big-time head shrinker, aren't you. How about you let me explain it my way, ok? Thanks, that'd be great."
Starring Loren Dean, Hope Davis, Jason Lee, Alfre Woodard, Martin Short, David Paymer, Ted Danson. Rated R.
The great thing about Robert Altman's Cookie's Fortune is that aside from being entertainingly quirky, it was warmhearted, sunny and subtly emotional. What mires down the similarly eccentric Lawrence Kasdan comedy Mumford is that it isn't any of those things. It remains emotionally distant and oddly impersonal; its protagonist's true feelings a mystery to the audience. We laugh, we're entertained, but we can't get involved. We're simply denied access.
Mumford is about Dr. Mumford from the town of Mumford. Dr. Mumford (Loren Dean) is a psychologist who has only been in town a couple weeks and he already has more patients then the other two area head doctors combined. So talented is he that he is approached by the town's most affluent citizen, Skip Skipperton. You see, Skip is a computer whiz and owner of "Panda Modem", a company which employs most everyone who lives in Mumford. Skip is lonely and wants the doctor's help, but wants it discreetly. He is afraid that his company's stock may tumble if people find out he is visiting a psychologist. He wants Dr. Mumford to treat him without anyone finding out.
If you have not been exposed to this movie's advertising campaign and do not want to know its "secret" which is revealed in all the trailers, read no further.
Dr. Mumford gets to like Skip Skipperton, who reveals all of his secrets to him. So he tells Skip a secret of his own. He is not, "nor has [he] ever been" a psychologist. How he has managed to keep his lack of credentials a secret baffles Skip, who insists that while Doc Mumford may not be a psychologist, he's good at it. His other patients may or may not agree. Seeing as he treats nearly everyone in the town, the rest of his clientele, whom we get to know fairly intimately is an eccentric group indeed.
None of these people have any idea that their trusted psychologist is a fake (why he is pretending to be a P.h.D. I will not reveal), and they go on confiding in him. He is good at what he does: he's a terrific listener and a perceptive person. But nevertheless he is not a doctor, and it isn't long before he is hounded by the certification board.
We are allowed to get to know Dr. Mumford's patients almost uncomfortably well. They are surprisingly interesting people: complex and often touchingly troubled. That's all well and good, but what about our main character? Don't we need to get to know him? Writer-director Lawrence Kasdan (The Big Chill) keeps Dr. Mumford strangely isolated from the audience. We never have the privilege of being involved in his feelings, his thoughts, his motives. When the love story subplot rolls around, we have a hard time accepting it because we don't know what's driving Mumford. We scarcely get any clues about the man's nature. The situation is hardly helped by Loren Dean's performance; he underplays his role to the point where he looks like he is reciting his lines off a teleprompter.
There's something else plaguing Mumford; a flaw that bugged me only in retrospect: it is a naggingly unprogressive movie. Common sense dictates that a storyline should, in some way, progress from point A to point B. Wierder films may have it backwards or may be jumping all over the place, but its protagonists change, as do the people around them. Mumford starts at point A and never really goes anywhere. As I walked out of the theater, I thought about what I saw and realized that the only elements that changed were the Doc's patients. But was the film about them? Our primary focus, Dr. Mumford remains stoic and closed off; worse, we are led to believe that the events of the movie have had no effect on the man.
I was never bored watching Mumford; it was just quirky enough and just amusing enough to hold my attention for 96 minutes. But I was never engaged in the film's story nor did I care about its main character. I've seen far worse dramedies than this one, but for the accomplished Kasdan, it isn't particularly impressive. Oh, and by the way, if you met a man who spends all his free time making robot sextoys, what would you do? ©1999 Eugene Novikov

1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.
3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
4 He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.
7 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
8 But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
9 What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
10 For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
11 There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked counseller.
12 Thus saith the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
13 For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
14 And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile.
15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
1 He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the munition, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily.
2 For the LORD hath turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches.
3 The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.
4 The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.
5 He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared.
6 The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved.
7 And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead her as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts.
8 But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry; but none shall look back.
9 Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is none end of the store and glory out of all the pleasant furniture.
10 She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness.
11 Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feedingplace of the young lions, where the lion, even the old lion, walked, and the lion's whelp, and none made them afraid?
12 The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin.
13 Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
1 Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;
2 The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots.
3 The horseman lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of carcases; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
4 Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
5 Behold, I am against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame.
6 And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a gazingstock.
7 And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters for thee?
8 Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
9 Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.
10 Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.
11 Thou also shalt be drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
12 All thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.
13 Behold, thy people in the midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.
14 Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln.
15 There shall the fire devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts.
16 Thou hast multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and flieth away.
17 Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is not known where they are.
18 Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no man gathereth them.
19 There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?

Affirmation and Sterotype Threat
December 11, 2014
When I think of the times in my life when I've been the happiest, the proudest, and the most satisfied, the following values come to mind: accomplishment, meaningful work, personal development, helping society.
In general, I try to live up to these values (1: disagree, 5: agree):
-
accomplishment: 5
-
meaningful work: 5
-
personal development: 5
-
helping society: 5
Meaningful work is important to me because I like to know how I am contributing to the whole. I want to know my role and purpose, so that I can be the most efficient and perform my best. And I also like knowing that my work contributes to a larger, more significant project, that ideally helps our world. Knowing my work is meaningful is personally satisfying. It gives me a sense of accomplishment and encourages me further.
The last topic someone asked me for advice on was whether or not they should apply for a job. This decision, like many decisions, is weighed against the values that I listed above. Will the new job bring a sense of accomplishment and personal development? Will it include meaningful work that contributes to helping society and the larger world? If yes, then it's a decision worth considering.
When I think about my values, I realize that I have integrity, and that I am more than willing to do the work required to get me to a place where I feel my values are being fulfilled. Recognizing this is empowering. In the face of sterotype threat, I need to remember that I am a fully capable individual, deeply motivated. In the event that I feel overwhlemed or down for whatever reason, I think that I just need to remember a sage piece of advice I received on how to eat an elephant: one bite at a time.

Additional Information


The spacecraft is set to arrive at Mars in 2021 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the founding of the UAE.
The Hope spacecraft will be a compact, hexagonal-section spacecraft. It will be built from aluminium in a stiff but lightweight honeycomb structure and surfaced with a strong composite face-sheet. Its overall size and weight are comparable to a small car: it will weigh approximately 1,500 kg including fuel, and measure 2.37m wide by 2.90m tall.
The UAE aims to accomplish key science goals by integrating with the global Mars science community on key questions that no other mission has addressed.
"The U.A.E.'s purpose is to build Emirati technical and intellectual capabilities in the fields of aerospace and space exploration and to enter the space industry and to make use of space technology in a way that enhances the country's development plans."
"Thanks to our ancestors who challenged the adversities of time and the misfortunes of life. Because of their fortitude, our generation is living in prosperity and grace."
"The youth are the future of this world and it is our duty and responsibility to provide our sons and daughters the necessary avenues to develop their physical and mental capabilities, and explore new avenues to acquire talents and skills, which would help them excel in their respective fields."
