RPG Maker VX Ace allows for customization of almost every element of your project. For those who have the artistic and scripting resources, you can edit your game to the point that players won't even recognize it's a RPG Maker game.
Often developers focus on having custom tilesets, character sprites, portraits, battlers and music. But there are several elements that even the more customized projects seem to overlook.
It behaves very much like the default Title screen but the aesthetics have been customized to create a unique feeling for the game. The title and menu have been moved to the bottom left quadrant to allow the picture to take up the rest of the screen space. The window border and background color is customized to match the color palette of the game. There's also a haunting track playing in the background that tells you this will be an emotional game experience. Overall, it's a great title screen and gets me excited to play it!
Before releasing your game, consider putting effort into customizing your title screen to quickly get the player in the mood to play your game.
Considering how much time you spend in menus in RPGs, you would think most developers would put some effort into editing the default interfaces. Unfortunately, that is often not the case.
The default battle menu. Oh, my favorite!
In the past it was excusable since if you didn't have any scripting experience it was difficult to edit the interface. Last year, RPG Maker released the Luna Engine – a series of scripts that would allow anyone to customize the RPG Maker interfaces.
The Luna Engine doesn't just allow you to make aesthetic changes to the interfaces. You have total control over all the menu options, allowing you to edit them to fit your in-game systems.
The window skin and font are also overlooked elements of the UI. Even if you don't customize the window skin and border, you can edit the background color in the Systems tab of the Database to fit the color scheme of your game. When choosing a font, make sure it's readable! A bold sans serif font is usually best. Save the decorative fonts for titles.
Even the most aesthetically customized RPG Maker games still seem to feature the default sound effects. While this might seem like a minor detractor, consider how often you hear that cursor sound effect. Quite a bit! And while RPG Maker does come with a rich library of fantasy sounds, it's lacking in terms of modern and futuristic effects.
Fortunately, our talented staff has picked up the slack. We have a wide array of Music and Sound resources available in our store. You can also find many free sound effects on the forum and through Google searches. Just make sure if you plan on going commercial that you have permission to use them.
The default battle animations that come with the editor are quite extensive and aesthetically pleasing. They're also used in just about every RPG Maker project! Once you see an attack animation a few hundred times in your own project or others, you rather just turn them off than see them again.
Battle animation resources aren't quite as plentiful as tilesets and music. If you can't find custom battle animations to match your game, you can still make good use of the Animation editor in the Database of the engine. It can allow for some visually impressive effects. Pair your custom animations with new sound effects to really make them memorable!
RPGs have their own terminology that you hear over and over again. Levels and HP are such key elements of RPGs that is hard to imagine one without them.
RPG Maker has its own set of terms and while some of them are RPG basics there are others that are unique to the engine. When creating a project, consider customizing as much of the terms as possible. Go through the database and see what names you can change to make them more closely fit your game world. It will give your world more weight and make it standout from other RPG Maker games.
The Database interface is where you'll change most of the game terms. You can also change some of the default messages by opening the Script Editor and clicking the Vocab module which stores many of the battle messages.
When naming objects, try to focus on things that already exist. It can be cool to have terms unique to your game but overuse of jargon can confuse or bore the player.
Small changes to your project can add up to make a huge difference. The next time you look at your project, consider what elements can be changed to make it standout more.
What other aspects of RPG Maker games do you think are often overlooked? Please discuss.

Fight to Save Todd Graving Dock, 2006
Carolina Salguero was Associate Curator of the exhibit. Mary Habstritt, President of the Roebling Chapter of the Society of Industrial Archeology (now heading the LILAC Preservation Project) was the curator.
Salguero was the mole for the Save the Graving Dock effort since she had unfettered access to the property, the invitation to come in by land or water, day or night without permission. She was working a project for National Geographic about tugboats and shipyard co-owner Mike Gallagher (his oral history is here) admired her work and gave her this access after she supplied an insurance Additional Insured. She also kept a small boat tied up on the property for several years.
The Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance, the Save the Graving Dock Committee and the Roebling Chapter, Society for Industrial Archeology presented an exhibition Big Box on the Basin: Retaining Red Hook's Last Working Shipyard at the Urban Center, 457 Madison Avenue at 51st Street. The exhibit opened on April 5, 2006 and ran through May 26 of that year.
https://observer.com/2006/04/graving-dock-no-1past-present-and-future/
As one of the Preservation League of New York State's "Seven to Save" in 2005, the dock garnered interest from preservationists and local maritime advocates before and after the City Council approved the project.
Todd Shipyard, when located in Sunset Park, built one of NYC's most beloved historic ships today, the fireboat JOHN J. HARVEY. You can see the name TODD in raised letters on the bits on the ship. The HARVEY was retired by the FDNY and, under the management of a nonprofit, was called back into service on 9/11, a story memorialized in the children's book Fireboat and multiple read-aloud videos here and here.

There is a known bug with the SCCM MP and powershell/WMI v3 if you have the SCCM agent installed on your Management Point Server. When the SCCM agent health check runs nightly it rebuilds WMI and breaks the MP.
please see my follow up post here on how to setup a Configuration Item to find this on your network if you are running Pre SP1 ConfigMgr still.
the MP still failed when the SCCM agent health check was run. So we disabled the notifyOnly RegKey on the SCCM MP and then things were back to normal with the exception that the SCCM agent health check does not fix WMI issues.
The notifyonly regkey tells the agent to not attempt to fix WMI if the agent thinks WMI is unhealthy.
The problem is related to WMI 3.0 that is installed with powershell v3.
Microsoft has not confirmed that the bug is really related to the client but from what I have seen I believe that is the case also we had many other applications Veeam, was the big one that we had issues with if a job was running when the SCCM agent did it's health check.
1. In the application event log there is an event ID 4 logged every night shortly after the sccm agent health check is scheduled to run.
2. Multiple applications that rely on WMI start failing between 12am and 2am.
Check out my other blog post about related WMI issues on SQL Servers after WMF 3.0 is isntalled and the SCCM WMI repair has failed.
This entry was posted in Powershell, SCCM, SQL, WMF 3.0, WMI and tagged Bug, Exchange, Powershell, SCCM, SCCM 2012, SQL, troubleshooting, WMF 3.0, WMI. Bookmark the permalink.
Is it really neccesary to uninstall the SCCM agent? Isn't it enough to uninstall the KB update?
I added a link to the SCCM team's blog post it looks like the official word is you just need to change the RegKey and reinstall the MP.
I ran throught the steps above, except I didn't run CCMClean, as I'm unfamiliar. After reinstalling the MP, it's now in "OK" status, however the Application Catalog website & Application Catalog web service is still in Critical, as well as my DP that is on another server.
I ran into this issue a few times while i was having issues with the MP and couldn't figure out the cause, I can't remember if I rebooted the server and that fixed it or if I had to re-install them. I didn't have any problems with my DP but if you don't have more than 1 of each role in your site everything stops to work really quick when you run into this issue.

JACKSON, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — Many victims of Superstorm Sandy have lost a lot, including their homes, possessions and everything precious, and now as they try to rebuild their lives, some families are also faced with the danger of losing their pets.
But as CBS 2's Christine Sloan reported, volunteers have brought hope and long-term help for pets.
Rania Michael-Garcia said she feared having to give up her beloved dogs, "Cosmo" and "Coco," when Sandy left her homeless.
"You cry, and you try to tell yourself, 'Well, yeah, it might have to be that way,'" she said.
Throughout storm-ravaged areas, storm victims have struggled to keep their families and pets together. Some have even chosen to live in their cars.
That option crossed Michael-Garcia's mind, but then she found hope at Seer Farms in Jackson, N.J.
"There was a sense of relief," she said.
Seer Farms started as a foster home for pets caught in the middle of the foreclosure crisis. The shelter is currently providing a temporary homes to the dogs and cats of those devastated by Sandy.
"So many people are saying that they don't have anything left of their lives, except the clothes on their backs and the animals they are handing off to us," said Seer Farms founder Laura Popel.
Michael-Garcia said she was comforted by the idea of taking her dogs to Seer Farms.
"You know they're away, but they're going to come back," she said.
In the Rockaways, displaced residents have also had to say goodbye to their pets, for now.
"I don't want to lose him so this is the way to do it – temporarily," Betty Giollioz said tearfully.
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has been helping dogs such as "Hero," who will stay at its emergency shelter in Brooklyn for a few weeks.
The program is free and offers medical attention for pets in need like "Mia." Her eyes became infected after being exposed to the storm wreckage near her home.
Katie Doherty's dogs came to Seer Farms after flood waters ravaged her father's home.
Pets can stay at the shelter at 1508 Herkheimer St. in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn for up to six months. If the owners need more time, volunteers are willing to work with them.
Dozens of volunteers pamper their pets, but families are encouraged to visit.
"We're happy that we knew they were safe, and they were being fed and taken care of, so we could figure out our situation," Katie Doherty said.
The shelters have made a difference with a cuddle or a touch, leaving owners knowing their pets will have a home as they try to put their lives back together.
Seer Farms asks pet owners for a $50 donation, but the shelters has waived all fees for Sandy victims.

This pouch is modeled after several reliquary pouches from the late 14th and early 15th centuries embroidered in brick stitch. These pouches are mostly traced to production in areas now part of modern Germany, however, some are labeled as originating in Italy.
Reliquary bags were used throughout the medieval period to store various relics reputedly from saints, apostles, or other religious figures. These bags might be kept individually or stored inside small altars or ornate crafted reliquaries, as seen in the portable alter commissioned by Countess Gertrude of Braunschweig from Lower Saxony ca. 1045.
Although modeled after religious devotional items, this pouch was created for a secular purpose. Cloth purses are seen in many medieval manuscripts in the late 14th and early 15th century. Most are in use by women, often worn between the layers of her clothing. The style of these purses is consistent with the extant examples of reliquary pouches: a small drawstring bag with tassels and a string to hang (presumably from a belt). Pouches in illuminations often appear to be of a solid color with no embroidered pattern and several examples from excavations in London reveal pouches made of patterned material, but no embroidery. Despite these unadorned examples, it can be surmised that women of means would possess pouches with rich decoration similar to alms purses from earlier in the 14th century decorated in the Opus Anglicanum technique.
I took initial inspiration for this pouch from an extent example in the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A). Master Richard Wymarc (m.k.a. Timothy J. Mitchell) has already recreated this bag and I used his resource, "A Stitch Out of Time: 14th and 15th Century German Counted Thread Embroidery" as a starting point for my piece. As the author was fortunate enough to view the piece up close, I relied on his observations for some design decisions.
I chose to keep the original dimensions of the pouch (approx. 3 3/8 inches square). I wanted to use the same pattern of German Brick Stitch, but chose to alter the color combination to match the colors of my husband's SCA heraldry. I kept the green and the white the same, but changed the original areas of blue to black, and red to yellow. I did not want the yellow to be washed out next to the white and chose a bright yellow that would give enough contrast in the finished piece.
Although this piece in the V&A does not include a drawstring, there are holes in the upper band indicating the presence of a drawstring originally. I wanted to include a drawstring and a cord to hang the pouch from a belt similar to another example in the V&A. My final design of the cords and tassels came from an example in the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (RICH) in Brussels (Object #10152670). This example shows a hanging cord, separate drawstrings with small tassels, and two multi-colored tassels at the bottom corners.
The catalog image also gives a very detailed view of the side seam construction.
The examples in museum collections indicate a linen ground for the embroidery. I chose tightly woven white linen (Alba Maxima) that is close to even weave, but not marketed as such. I used white because I did not want a darker color to show through the white linen embroidery thread.
For the white embroidery, I chose white 100/3 linen thread. This thread is a fine even spin that has a similar thickness to the silk embroidery thread used in the piece. For the colored embroidery, I selected to use Au ver à soie Ovale flat silk thread in yellow, black, and green. This type of silk is known as a reeled or filament silk thread. It is not tightly spun and as a result, I could cover a larger area without the ground showing through. It also gives a luxurious sheen to the piece.
There is little information about the linings of extant purses other than the material being silk. In some cases, this is because the lining has not survived. I chose to line the pouch in red damask silk.
The Turk's Head knots are made from silk gimp, a type of cord. I made the gimp following a tutorial from Medieval Silkwork. The core is three strands of natural colored linen thread and I wound yellow silk around it until I had a length of about 50 cm. This gave me enough cord to form two small Turk's Head Knots.
Bags of this type were typically one piece, with the front and back embroidered as a seamless unit and then folded along what becomes a side of the pouch. I chose to have the fold for this bag along the bottom for visual symmetry.
I used a rectangular embroidery frame to hold the fabric at an even tension.
The embroidery was completed using the technique for brick stitch as described by Mitchell in Section 2: Recreating the Style. From his close examination of the extant pieces, he has determined the most likely course of the thread by the grouping of warp and weft in the ground fabric.
I worked the white linen embroidery first and then filled in the colored silk sections.
After completing the embroidery, I attached the silk lining. I decided to sew the long edges and form a tube of the lining and embroidery. I then turned it right side out and folded the bag horizontally along the center line. This placed the raw edges at the mouth of the bag and provided a clean side seam.
I finished the seams using a technique originally described on the blog MedievalSilkwork by Machteld. I chose to use both yellow and green thread for this technique and integrated the ends into the tassels at the bottom corners.
The original bag has a strip of fabric around the top edge and I chose to use a strip of white linen matching the ground fabric and linen embroidery. By comparing the total measurement of the pouch with the percentage of space the strip takes up, I determined it was at its widest 1/2 inch and at its narrowest 5/16 inch. I chose to make my border 1/4 inch wide. I attached this strip after I completed the side seams and attached the purse strings. This concealed the raw ends under the linen and creates a neat appearance. This border has no eyelets for the drawstring, which is simply threaded through holes made with an awl. This is by design and is consistent with the extant examples from the V&A as well as the RICH.
Inside of pouch before the white strip is added to the top - in this image the purse hanger is tucked inside after being sewn to the inside edges.
The drawstring and cord were constructed from finger loop braiding. I used green silk to make the cords: a smaller round braid for the drawstrings and a wider flat braid for the purse string. I made two sections of braids for the drawstring and wove them through the holes with the beginnings of the braids on opposite sides of the pouch. When the two ends are pulled, the pouch closes easily.
The tassels were constructed using a mix of green and yellow silk. To construct the tassels I wound a strand of green and yellow simultaneously around a card until I reached the desired thickness. I then tied a piece of green silk through the top of the cluster of threads and cut the loops that formed at one end. A piece of white linen was used to tie the center of the tassel. The tassels were then threaded through the corners of the pouch and tied off on the inside. Another piece of white linen was used to tie the center of the tassel in order to integrate the ends of the thread from the side seams.
The knots are Turk's Head Knots are constructed from the yellow silk gimp. I used an online visual tutorial to begin the knots using a piece of card as the support. I then worked them with my fingers to the desired size.
Being a novice embroiderer, the back of the work was not as neat as I would have liked. At times, I had to double back if I missed a spot.
The flat braid I used for the purse hanger is not as flat as desired even after several attempts. There are several mistakes I noticed in the braid, which contributes to the braid rolling, but this was by far my best attempt with regard to tension.
I am pleased with how the Turk's Head knots turned out, but working them down to the desired size from the initial card support was frustrating and time consuming. I ultimately decided to leave them off the drawstring, because I could not make them small enough to keep from slipping off the cord. I plan to attempt these knots in the future in order to find an easier way to make them small enough.

Q: Does OneNote have palm rejection or a hand rest spot? I just bought an Acer Iconia W500. I really wanted to use it for taking notes and having all the amenities of a full blown computer without the size.
Using OneNote to take notes, I notice I can't rest my hand on the screen. I have read some about this and it seems the very best solution is to get a tablet with active digitizer technology, but there aren't too many with this and it is expensive.
So barring that, is there any way I can rest my hand on the tablet screen while taking notes in OneNote? Or am I relegated to hovering my hand over the screen while I write notes?
Does OneNote have a palm rest area or some sort of palm rejection?

A: Palm rejection is a feature of the hardware and device driver.  To Onenote, all your computer is doing is moving a cursor.  It has NO idea where your hand is.  Heck, you don't even need a hand to emulate the movement. You can draw on Onenote using APIs.
It was generally considered for a LONG time that Walcom had by far the best palm rejection technology. But recently, the Ntrigs in the Dell XT2 have caught up.  I haven't tried the Acer Iconia yet.  Your best bet is to ask the guys at a Tablet PC enthusiast forum, like TabletPCreview.com and find out the manufacturer of the screen.
For example, I have a older HP TZ2500, which features excellent palm reject.  It isn't multi touch, nor light as a feather.  But I wouldn't trade it for a sissy media tablet anyday.

A: This is rather a comment, but posting as an answer because it is too long.
Now that you know you just have to buy the right hybrid laptop to get palm rejection, how does one go about choosing such a laptop?
There are at least two gotchas regarding this choice. One is that (a) just because the laptop model you want to buy is known to come with a stylus or a pen does not mean that it actually supports palm rejection. Another is that (b) just because palm rejection doesn't seem to work when you actually start writing with the pen on that laptop does not mean that the model does not support palm rejection.
This is how you can check palm rejection: you could go to a laptop store, and they will usually allow you to play around with a test hybtrid laptop, and then what you should test is this: (1) Open OneNote (Both Desktop version and Modern UI (a.k.a. Metro) version are fine for this test) (2) slowly move the tip of the pen (that comes with it) towards the screen (3) as soon as the cursor appears (it should appear before the pen touches the screen), stop moving and try touching the screen with your fingers (from your other hand) (while the pen tip is still there mid air at that spot you stopped) (3) now verify that OneNote does not respond to your fingers (as long as that pen tip is there just slightly above the screen). Then that test laptop supports palm rejection. Otherwise, it does not support palm rejection.
Even if this test shows the model supports palm rejection, you could come to the gotcha (b) with that model. In that case, you have two options: you could decide to not buy that model and try another model, or you could just buy this model but practice the habit of always landing the pen tip to the screen before landing your palm.

Pink Floyd: The Wall is een muziekfilm uit 1982 van regisseur Alan Parker. De film is gebaseerd op het album The Wall van Pink Floyd. Het scenario werd geschreven door de vocalist en bassist van Pink Floyd, Roger Waters. De film kent weinig dialogen en het grootste deel van de film wordt gevuld met de muziek van Pink Floyd.

Daarnaast bevat de film 15 minuten aan animatie van cartoonist en illustrator Gerald Scarfe.

Verhaal

De film laat de opbouw en de ondergang van een metaforische muur zien.

Pink, de hoofdpersoon van het verhaal, is een rockster, wat een van de redenen is van zijn depressieve emotionele staat. In de volgende scènes wordt duidelijk dat Pinks vader is overleden tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog.

De film blikt vervolgens terug op de jonge Pink die opgroeit in de beginjaren 50. Gedurende zijn jeugd mist hij een vaderfiguur. Op school wordt hij vernederd vanwege het feit dat hij gedichten schrijft in de klas. Pink trouwt uiteindelijk maar na een tijdje komt hij erachter dat zijn vrouw een affaire heeft, als hij aan het toeren is.

Pink verliest beetje bij beetje zijn denkvermogen en scheert al zijn lichaamshaar af om vervolgens een neonazi te worden. Pinks manager (Bob Hoskins), de hotelmanager (Michael Ensign) en enkele medici ontdekken Pink en injecteren hem met drugs, zodat hij toch nog in staat is om op te treden. Op het podium hallucineert Pink dat hij een nazi-dictator is en dat zijn concert een demonstratie is. Hij roept zijn volgelingen op tot het aanvallen van etnische minderheden en de witte vriendin van een zwarte man te verkrachten. Later houdt Pink een toespraak in een buitenwijk terwijl hij Waiting for the Worms zingt. Deze scène wordt onderbroken door de animatie van de iconische voortmarcherende hamers.

Pink schreeuwt Stop! en brengt zichzelf vervolgens voor het gerecht, wat geheel is weergegeven in animaties. Hij wordt hier afgebeeld als een pop die nauwelijks beweegt. De rechter wordt afgebeeld als een enorm achterwerk, die uit zijn anus praat. De rechter oordeelt uiteindelijk dat de muur omver moet worden geworpen. De film eindigt met drie kinderen die in het puin van de gevallen muur aan het spelen zijn.

The optics forum is a partnership between BRO and national optics publication, Laser Focus World. Kathleen Perkins, CEO of BRO, said, "We've got the right kind of people coming to the conference." Copyright Inside Tucson Business, April 9, 2004. All rights reserved.


Luke Robitaille, left, and Andrew Cai, right.
Thirteen-year-old Luke Robitaille was named the 2017 Raytheon Mathcounts National Champion, beating a field of 224 to take home the top prize.
The competition aired live on ESPN3 on Monday, May 15, at 10 a.m. ET.
"In a barn, 100 chicks sit peacefully in a circle. Suddenly, each chick randomly pecks the chick immediately to its left or right. What is the expected number of un-pecked chicks?"
He hit his buzzer in .9 seconds with the right answer.
"We've never had a student win the championship on a question that quickly before," Lou DiGioia, executive director of Mathcounts, told Business Insider. "The speed with which he can do mental calculations is extraordinary," he continued.
"For any one chick, there are four possible outcomes: being pecked only by the chick to its left, being pecked only by the chick to its right, being pecked by both the chicks, or being pecked by neither of the chicks.
"Each of the four outcomes is equally probable, so there is a one in four chance of any chick being un-pecked. Since there are 100 chicks in the circle we can expected, ¼ * 100 = 25 un-pecked."
The correct answer of the question is 25.
Robitaille won $24,500 in the 2017 competition: $20,000 for winning the Countdown Round, $2,000 for being member of winning team, and $2,500 for winning a written competition. Last year, he won $9,500 as runner-up in the competition.
While 224 competitors made it to the national competition, more than 100,000 students participated in qualifying rounds for local and state competitions, a press release from Raytheon stated. This marks the 34th year of the Mathcounts competition.

Premiere: Stream Children of Pop's Building New Song "Poids"
Children of PBandcamp
It's been a minute since we last heard from Houston's Children of Pop, the project founded by one Chase DeMaster, who also heads the eclectic label Very Jazzed. After taking some time off to collect his thoughts, he will be unloading a new 7″ on June 16th. "Poids," found below, is the a-side (backed by "Étude en Cours") of the release and can only be described as a slow-burner that slowly transitions into an audible strobe light of frenetic energy. DeMaster offered the following context of the song:
I took a few months off from writing and really tried to boil off some of the ideas I was working out of from last year's full length. Lyrically, it oscillates between two polar perspectives. The things we ask from the ones we love, after time, tend to reflect the notion that our appetite for feeling, be it good, bad, or anything, is never quenched. We are hungry for stimulation in any form to acknowledge our existence. Further, "Poids" recognizes that being in that space is a privilege to begin with and forgetting that for a second is nauseating. We started playing this song live on the TV Girl and Chad Valley tours and I was completely taken by it. It lives on the recording in a much more tranquil place, while live it becomes something so emotive it's almost paralyzing to perform in front on an audience. A track with weight.
Pre-order for the 7″ both digitally and on an extremely limited edition lathe cut is available the project's Bandcamp.

CHARTER NEWS State Sen. Martin Sandoval has sponsored a bill that would allow Chicago to award more charter schools. Current state law permits 60 charters statewide: 30 in Chicago, 15 in the Chicago suburbs, and 15 Downstate. The bill would leave the total cap in place, at 60, but remove the geographic restrictions on where those charters must be located. … The National Association of Charter School Authorizers has relocated from Alexandria, Va., to Chicago. The new office is at 210 S. Clark Street, Suite 1430. John Ayers, previously head of the now-defunct Leadership for Quality Education, was named director of communications; and Shenita Johnson Garrard, previously with the CPS Office of New Schools, will direct the association's work in New Orleans.
STUDENT TRACKING The Office of Technology Services plans to have a new $9.6 million student information system in place by September.

This computer whizz is one of Hull's most exciting young talents
Javid Mann has attracted the attention of some of the city's top business figures
Phil WinterBusiness Editor
He's been earmarked as one of Hull's most exciting tech prospects, and at the age of 15, is already passing on his knowledge to his teachers.
But 15-year-old Javid Mann seems to have his feet planted firmly on the ground.
A pupil at Hull's Ron Dearing UTC – a college aimed at providing students with the skills they need to enter the world of work – Javid is surrounded by some of the brightest young brains in the city.
Yet it is Javid's work that has caught the eye of a host of Hull's top business figures.
"It all started when I was five or six years old, and I started playing online games on the Doctor Who website," Javid said.

"Eventually I got bored of that, and moved onto other things. I got really obsessed with old versions of software, and old computers.
"I found my dad's old computer with Windows 98 on, and started messing around with that."
Javid has now become a whizz with some of the most complicated computer software going.
A former pupil at Kelvin Hall School in Hull, Javid made the switch to Ron Dearing UTC.
Winners of the 2018 Hull and East Yorkshire Digital Awards revealed
Attracted by the college's digital and tech focus, the teenager is now studying Digital Technology and Systems Control Engineering.
More recently, he has worked with miniature robots, programming them to light up, move around and dance.
As if that's not enough, Javid has also been "teaching the teachers" how to use the gadgets.

With ambitions to pursue a career in programming, Javid has already attracted a lot of interest.
In September, he was announced as Hull's Junior Digital Champion at the 2018 Digital Awards.
He has also been given a key to the city's C4DI building – an innovative centre packed full of some of Hull's best digital businesses.

David Keel, Hull's Digital Ambassador, is just one of Javid's admirers.
He said: "We want people who are the future of Hull, and the future of the digital industry, to have a reason to stay in the city.
"If Javid wants to stay here, there will be a place where he can be alongside like-minded digital people, who can share ideas and pass knowledge on.

"We also want people to realise there is a third option for young people, alongside going to university or getting an apprenticeship.
"That option is becoming your own boss, and being an employer rather than an employee.
"It is so important to the whole economy. Javid has been learning in the best possible way, using old computers. Modern iPhones and Playstations are almost impossible to programme and play with.
This Hull school is paying for students' driving lessons
"It is quite funny that old computers are now being used to teach young people about software."
Javid has already completed work experience at Hull's Spencer Group – creating a chatbot at the engineering firm.

Ron Dearing UTC vice-principal Steve Willacy said: "Javid has a natural ability to apply logic to a range of programming language and uses his considerable digital talents creatively to produce entertaining memes.
"Outside school, Javid continues his obsession for all things digital, practising programming techniques using a mix of modern and retro technology and building his own computers using old and new components to run old programmes and games."

A well owner reported his water had "chemical" smell. PFOS and PFOA were found during the EPAs Third Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UMCR3), which took place from 2013-2015. EPA stated 99% of samples from SLO were below EPA's public health advisory level (PHA) level*. One Atascadero well was equal to EPA PHA for PFOA. Levels are unknown for private wells.
In September 2016, California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) filed public notice of intent to list perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) as known to the state to cause reproductive toxicity under the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. The public comment period closed in December 2016 and final listing as a reproductive toxicant is expected at a later date.
*The PHA is the old one. EPA PHA was lowered from a standard of 200 ppt for PFOS along with the previously noted level of 400 ppt for PFOA. The PHA levels were lowered to a combined PFOA/PFOS level of 70 ppt 2016. It is unknown how many wells are effected under these new guideline).

BRIEFER – Taking Stock: Integrating Climate Change into U.S. National Security Practices in 2022
by Francesco Femia and Caitlin Werrell January 25, 2022 January 20, 2022 Leave a comment
By Erin Sikorsky and Brigitte Hugh
In late 2021, the Biden Administration released a suite of national security and foreign policy documents[1] that according to the administration, would "serve as a foundation for [its] critical work on climate and security moving forward."[2] This briefer synthesizes four key takeaways of these reports: 1) Climate change is forcing the U.S. national security community to reexamine its assumptions about how the world works; 2) Climate security is a current problem and a future problem; 3) Climate security risks are wide-ranging and not confined to particular geographies or sectors; 4) Climate security cannot be separated from other major security concerns—in fact, it shapes and exacerbates those concerns.
If 2021 was about analyzing the problem and making the case that climate change is a national security concern, then 2022 should be about making concrete changes to how US agencies do business so they are equipped to address climate security challenges going forward. To that end, we recommend that the U.S. government pursue five priorities: 1) Mainstream climate security in regional strategies; 2) Link climate adaptation programs with conflict prevention; 3) Maximize whole-of-government approaches to linking climate science and national security; 4) Increase climate security support for allies and partners; 5) Leverage strategic foresight tools to prepare for climate security risks – including worst case scenarios.
Read the full briefer here.
[1] These documents included: (1) National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Climate Change from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI); (2) Department of Defense (DoD) Climate Risk Analysis (DCRA); (3) Strategic Framework to Address Climate Change for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) ; (4) Report on the Impact of Climate Change on Migration, the first such report released by the United States Government; (5) The Department of Defense Climate Adaptation Plan.

Q: Operation with data frame with loop for i have this two data frame:  df(A) (nrow=10,ncol=2), and df(B) (nrow=3,ncol=2).
 df(A)                    df(B)
col1  col2            col1 col2
1      2                13  34
3      5                22  56
5      7                30  42
6      9
9      11
4.5   5.5
21    6.7
3.5   5
6     7.9
67     4

It's possible to multiply and sum each value in df(A) in this mode? :
   EXAMPLE:
A[1,1]*B[1,1] + A[1,1]*B[1,2] + A[1,1]*B[1,3]= 1*13+1*22+1*30= 65
A[2,1]*B[1,1] + A[2,1]*B[1,2] + A[2,1]*B[1,3]= 3*13+3*22+3*30 = 195
and so on for all row in A&col1 for B$col1

the same for A$col2 and B$col2
A[1,2]*B[1,1] + A[1,2]*B[1,2] + A[1,2]*B[1,3]= 2*34+2*56+2*42= 264
A[2,2]*B[1,1] + A[2,2]*B[1,2] + A[2,2]*B[1,3]= 5*34+5*56+5*42=660
and so on for all row in A&col2 for B$col2

The expected result is a df(C) with 2 col and 10 row.
I tempted with apply, but it work for the entire row or the entire colum. This example is semplify, but my true df is biggest, with 10 column and more than 1000 row.
It's possible with loop for ?
I tempted with  loop for in this manner:
temp <- rep(NA,3)

my_matrix <- matrix(0,ncol=ncol(A),nrow=nrow(A))

for (i in 1:nrow(A)){
  for (j in 1:3){
    temp(j) <- A(i+j-1)*B(i+j-1)
  }
  my_matrix(i) <- sum(temp)
}

but R responde :Error: could not find function "A"or
attempt to apply non-function`

Thank you in advance.

A: I may be completely wrong on that, but I would go with something like this:
1) Create grid of all combinations
 Grid<-expand.grid(1:5,1:5)
Edit: matching your definition of "contrary product"
2) Subset your dataframes on the values of interest
result<-matrix()
for(i in 1:nrow(Grid)){
   First<-A[A[,3]==Grid[i,1],1]*B[B[,3]==4-Grid[i,2],1] ### Gets the first column product, and does the "Contrary product" that you mention in comments
   Second<-A[A[,3]==Grid[i,1],2]*B[B[,3]==4-Grid[i,2],2] ### Gets the second column product
   result<-rbind(result,cbind(First,Second,Grid[i,1],Grid[i,2])) ### Keep track of the values you used for subsetting
}

Ahead of House Democrats' leadership elections, the Californian was approached about giving her tenure an expiration date. She wouldn't budge.
Around lunchtime on Wednesday, Nancy Pelosi gathered in her Capitol office with three of her harshest critics.
Representatives Seth Moulton, Kathleen Rice, and Tim Ryan are the de facto leaders of a coterie of House Democrats trying to prevent Pelosi from becoming speaker in the next Congress. For two months, the group has broadcast its desire for new leadership, with many of its members adamant that under no circumstances would they support the California Democrat in an internal caucus vote or on the House floor.
But on Wednesday, they came ready to make a deal—one that would quickly come to nothing.
According to two senior House Democratic aides briefed on the meeting, Moulton, Rice, and Ryan told Pelosi that they would ensure her the speakership if she agreed to a firm term limit. Anti-Pelosi lawmakers had grown more and more uncertain that a viable challenger would step forward before the January floor vote. So in the past week, a few of them came up with the proposal; delivering her the speakership, but with an expiration date attached, would be their best chance at reshaping their leadership.
Read: The opposition to Nancy Pelosi stumbles.
Moulton, Rice, and Ryan strode out of Pelosi's quarters less than half an hour later, refusing to discuss the conversation with reporters. And as they headed into the caucus's leadership elections later in the afternoon, all three declined to say whether they still planned to vote against Pelosi.
But if Pelosi's naysayers had dug in, Pelosi herself had, too. Late Wednesday afternoon, she emerged as the caucus's nominee for speaker, with 203 yeas and 32 nays. The nays were a mere half of the dissenting votes she'd received in 2016, when Ryan challenged her for the party's nomination for minority leader. On Tuesday night, Pelosi had shrewdly offered members the option to vote "No" on her nomination rather than holding a voice vote, which is traditional when a leadership candidate runs unopposed. In doing so, she granted those who'd campaigned this year on opposing her the opportunity to stick to their promise, even if they eventually vote "Yes" on the House floor. The move signified her confidence in a victory on Wednesday, and offered her another tool to forge new alliances between now and January.
Pelosi still has a math problem, to be sure. She needs 218 votes to win the speakership on January 3, 15 more than she received on Wednesday. She can ultimately afford to lose around 17 members out of the roughly 235 Democrats expected to cast a vote. Her opposition was quick to tout that figure: Following the elections, Ryan told reporters that with their 32 nays, they'd managed "twice as many [votes] as you need" to thwart Pelosi.
Read: Nancy Pelosi has become the most effective congressional leader of modern times—and, not coincidentally, the most vilified.
The challenge now for her opponents will be to convince as many of those dissenters as possible to hold the line come January. Their strategy, according to multiple House Democratic aides, is to present themselves as pragmatists seeking a compromise against Pelosi's continued rebuffing. They also plan to highlight their frustration that Pelosi "still refuses to acknowledge our concerns with her," according to a senior aide to an anti-Pelosi member.
Indeed, Pelosi appeared unwilling to acknowledge her dissenters following her victory. A reporter attempted to ask Pelosi about Rice's statement, but the newly elected nominee was quick to cut him off.

Home Entertainment Movie Reviews Act of Valor Movie Review
Act of Valor Movie Review
Miv Evans
Sun February 19, 2012
This is a high-octane action film about global terrorism, a drug dealer, a kidnapped CIA agent and a company of active-duty real-life Navy Seals. However badly constructed the story is, and it's really bad, it's worth watching just to see these guys in action. Apart from being swash-buckling, valiant, and sharp as tacks, they're all super-cool, burly and really, really hot.
A female CIA operative is kidnapped by a group of international terrorists and the task of rescuing her is given to an elite team of Navy Seals. Their mission is a success, but when they return with the woman they also bring evidence that a series of terrorist attacks are planned that will devastate entire U.S. cities. The same Seals are then given the mission to destroy the cell from which this threat is emanating.
So do the Seals manage to pull off their first ever acting gig? Hell, no, but the dialogue is so bad no one could have put in a good performance, so it doesn't really matter. The two lead Seals (whose names aren't being made public for security reasons, although their faces are) spend an inordinate amount of time chatting and sound more like middle-aged lady librarians than the warmongers they actually are. The rest of the non-action parts of the storytelling are equally flawed, with the first 15 minutes spent flailing around, setting up cheesy storylines and plot minutiae that are explained through reams of dialogue that confuse more than clarify.
Before the actual film starts, there's an introduction by the Director explaining that he used real Seals because he didn't think actors would be capable of playing their roles. Therefore, using this analogy, John Wayne should never have played a cowboy and the drug dealer and Jihad terrorist who co-star in this film should also have been the real deal, which they're not, so it makes no sense. But what does make sense is if the director realized the script he had was pretty lousy and the only way to save it was to use a gimmick, such as getting the most exalted team of men in the world to shine up their boots, grab their weapons and head for Hollywood.

"On TV And Video" is a column exploring opportunities and challenges in advanced TV and video.
Today's column is written by Tom Weiss, chief technology officer and chief data scientist at Dativa.
After decades of planning and measuring TV with only minor iterations of the same fundamental techniques and technologies, marketers now find themselves confronted with an influx of new TV advertising technologies vying for mindshare, adoption and budget.
Among them are addressable and connected TV, which are both positioned to play a prominent role in TV's future. However, while networks, MVPDs, vendors and investors need to steer their media businesses and road maps for five to 10-plus years out, agencies and advertisers have brands to build and promote today.
For virtually all mid-sized to large brands, the scale and cost efficiencies of advertising within conventional linear TV delivery continue to reign supreme. That's the annoying kind where you and your neighbor see the same ad if you're watching the same network. It composes more than 87% of available TV ad impressions, and it is the most cost-efficient, practical and pragmatic way for brands to advertise on TV today, and it will continue to be over the next several years.
Moreover, many new data tools in TV advertising can apply as equally to the annoying kind of TV advertising as they do to addressable and connected TV advertising. In particular, there's great potential for brands to improve the traditional TV ad buy by indexing digital audiences against linear TV viewership, also known as data-driven linear.
The emergence of smart-TV data sets has driven the indexing of digital audiences against linear TV. Smart-TV manufacturers, which don't have legacy data businesses to preserve or relationships with existing data providers to protect, made TV viewing data available to data brokers and others in the ad tech ecosystem to match against digital audiences. The result was the ability to identify TV programming with the highest concentration of a targeted audience. The beauty of this technique is it allows marketers to plan TV campaigns using precise audience segments rather than blunt-edged age and gender demographics.
Take an online travel aggregator that buys adults 25-54 years old but is ultimately trying to reach business travelers. Without indexed linear, the decision-making process for determining programs with a high composition of business travelers is likely a function of common sense and gut – business travelers may be more likely to watch business news and golf – and negotiating media suppliers on rates for reaching adults 25-54 years old.
However, with indexed linear TV, the online travel aggregator can define an audience composed of users with the Delta, United or American Airlines apps on their phones, users who have physically been in airports multiple times in the past 60 days or countless other digital audience segments. Networks, dayparts and programs are then objectively scored based on their composition of the business-traveler audience, and media can be justly secured based on index scores and cost.
The same TV viewing data and audience data can then be used to deliver a post-campaign report measuring the in-target views and reach, similar to how a traditional TV buy is today measured against adults 25 to 54 years old.
Herein lies an obstacle that pragmatic marketers need to sidestep. Guarantees against a target demo have long been a staple of TV advertising contracts, with research teams generating forecasted ratings and measurement companies providing actual GRPs, with those on the sell side pressured to deliver against these plans. For marketers to use the best digital audience for a given campaign, they'll need to accept that media sellers do not yet have the forecasting and yield systems in place to guarantee linear TV delivery against any digital audience.
However, agencies and brands can still index digital audiences against TV to determine the networks, dayparts and programs they want and have the buy guaranteed off a legacy demographic.
For example, a pizza chain could take an audience composed of people with the Dominos app downloaded on their phones. From that it can determine which networks and dayparts most strongly index with those pizza-ordering customers on linear TV. It can then buy those dayparts from its usual linear TV suppliers, but transact using a legacy demo that suppliers are comfortable guaranteeing, such as adults 25 to 54 years old.
For agencies and brands seeking to execute an indexed linear campaign for the first time, they have to trust where the data is pointing. Agencies should vet the TV data and audience data efficacy upfront. Afterward, the data should drive the decision-making. While there are scenarios requiring constraints to be applied – no kids' programming, for example – each constraint limits the opportunity to find the highest indexing programming. It takes trust in the tools, but broad-based restrictions, such as dayparts, day of week and network, should be narrowed down or eliminated outright to drive efficiency.
For many advertisers, audience-indexed linear TV is a powerful technique for enhancing their TV investments and will continue to be for the next several years. If advanced TV history has told us one thing, it's that platform shifts take time. So, while marketers should invest to stay on top of new technologies, it's even more critical to get value from media investments today.

PhD defence Jaap de Haan: Was the position of Grand Pensionary of the Dutch Republic really as unique as is often thought?
Faculty of Humanities History and Art History
Friday 9 December 2022 from 12:15 to 13:15
On 9 December, Jaap de Haan will defend his thesis 'De eerste minister van de Republiek' ('The first minister of the Republic'), in which he researched the role of the Grand Pensionaries of the seventeenth century.
Unique post?
In the seventeenth century, the Dutch Republic, or the United Provinces of the Netherlands, was guided by well-known Grand Pensionaries, Johan van Oldenbarnevelt (1547-1619) and Johan de Witt (1625-1672).
It has long been thought that the office of Grand Pensionary was a unique post in early modern Europe. To check whether this assumption is correct, Jaap de Haan compares the Grand Pensionary in his thesis with another early modern administrator: the first minister in European monarchies.
The first minister
De Haan compares three Grand Pensionaries, namely Van Oldenbarnevelt, De Witt and Gaspar Fagel (1634-1688). He analysed their performance on the basis of four functions: the administrative, executive, political and representative function. All three Grand Pensionaries made use of these functions to be able to govern Holland (and the Republic).
De Haan discovered that the functions of the Grand Pensionary are also recognisable among the early modern first ministers in Spain, England, France, Sweden and Brandenburg. In a similar way they ruled the kingdom on behalf of their monarch.
The office of the Grand Pensionary of Holland thus shows many similarities to his administrative counterpart elsewhere in Europe. De Haan therefore concludes that the Grand Pensionary can be seen as the prime minister of the Republic.

Curating the State of "Art"
Events — Curating the State of "Art"
An art museum curator is curating tech. Miyuki Tanaka invites you to learn about the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Japan, and the ways they are connecting individuals to the world and the future. Her beautiful exhibitions feature robotics, cellular engineering, regenerative medicine, prostheses, and computer-created art. They pose the questions, "How can we sustain ourselves when our total population will reach 10 billion people in the near future? How can we use our imagination to live and prosper on this planet?" To Ms. Tanaka, the answer is diversity.
For more information, including how to RSVP, please visit the Japan Foundation LA's website!
The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation, known as the "Miraikan", opened in Tokyo in 2001 at the turn of the 21st century. In Japanese, "Miraikan" means "Center of the Future." Although it is called a museum, it has acted more as a science center, introducing the latest scientific technology rather than collections from the past.
The idea of the Miraikan is to conceptualize a society that can support the lives of 10 billion people, a quickly approaching landmark. It was also designed as a space for researchers, politicians, residents, and the media to gather and talk about the role and potential of scientific technology. Therefore, the Miraikan does not only focus on environmental issues such as climate change and the diversity of life, but also on natural disasters, information technology, androids, and biological science.
