Students will have fun making a class big book based on the The Mitten by Jan Brett in this fun activity. Tell the students that you are going to work together to rewrite the book The Mitten. Brainstorm new ideas for the setting and the item of clothing for your new story. Maybe the animals are at the beach and crawling into a sunhat to find some shade or hiding in a rubber rain boot during a rainstorm. Once you have chosen your new setting, start rewriting the story on large pieces of chart paper. Have one or two pages to introduce the problem and then use a predictable sentence to add new animals to the story. You might write, "Next a _____________ crawled into the hat and the animals made room for him." Try to keep the same sentence frame until the end of the story so that when it is finished, you can add it to your book center and the students will be able to read it. When you have finished writing the story together, give pairs of students a page to illustrate and then bind the finished pages into a book. Your students will love reading their own version of The Mitten over and over again.
The Mitten is a great book to use to teach or review using Venn diagrams with your students. There are two other popular versions of The Mitten, one by Jim Aylesworth and one by Alvin Tresselt, that can be used for comparing. You might read one of the new versions and complete a Venn diagram together as a class and then read the other one and have the students work individually or in pairs to compare it to Jan Brett's version.
There are some other Jan Brett books that would be good to use with Venn diagrams also. The Umbrella follows the same story pattern as the mitten, but it is set in the rainforest and involves animals taking refuge in a large umbrella instead of a mitten. The plot of The Hat is different, but it has a similar setting and a story that revolves around animals and what happens when they find a lost article of clothing.
Instead of Venn diagrams, you can also use these books to teach your students about text-to-text connections.
A favorite feature in Jan Brett's books is the way she tells another story through the illustrations in the borders of her pages. Bring in several copies of The Mitten and let your students look closely at the borders of the pages. In some of the pictures, we see the little boy Nicki as he searches for his lost mitten. Have your students write a story about Nicki's search for his mitten. The pictures can give them ideas for what to write about. This a good chance to review beginning, middle and end with your first graders. Remind them that they know the beginning and ending of this story and can write it in their own words, but that they can use their imaginations to tell what happened in the middle when Nicki was looking for his lost mitten.
These activities to do with The Mitten by Jan Brett are a great way for students to enhance their language arts skills while reading a book they will all love.
"The Mitten" by Jan Brett is a great book for a first grade unit. Find ideas for activities and lesson plans to use "The Mitten" across the curriculum.

Free Gift wrapping:
Easton Press, Norwalk CT. 1994 John Dos Passos "U. S. A. : The 42nd Parallel" Limited Edition
John Roderigo Dos Passos was an American novelist and artist.
He received a first-class education at The Choate School, in Connecticut, in 1907, under the name John Roderigo Madison. Later, he traveled with his tutor on a tour through France, England, Italy, Greece and the Middle East to study classical art, architecture and literature.
In 1912 he attended Harvard University and, after graduating in 1916, he traveled to Spain to continue his studies. In 1917 he volunteered for the S.S.U. 60 of the Norton-Harjes Ambulance Corps, along with E.E. Cummings and Robert Hillyer.
With his U.S.A. trilogy, comprising THE 42nd PARALLEL, 1919, and THE BIG MONEY, John Dos Passos is said by many to have written the great American novel. While Fitzgerald and Hemingway were cultivating what Edmund Wilson once called their "own little corners," John Dos Passos was taking on the world. Counted as one of the best novels of the twentieth century by the Modern Library and by some of the finest writers working today, U.S.A. is a grand, kaleidoscopic portrait of a nation, buzzing with history and life on every page.
The trilogy opens with THE 42nd PARALLEL, where we find a young country at the dawn of the twentieth century. Slowly, in stories artfully spliced together, the lives and fortunes of five characters unfold. Mac, Janey, Eleanor, Ward, and Charley are caught on the storm track of this parallel and blown New Yorkward. As their lives cross and double back again, the likes of Eugene Debs, Thomas Edison, and Andrew Carnegie make cameo appearances

New Japan Pro Wrestling has announced the brackets for the upcoming New Japan Cup.
The single-elimination tournament is a yearly tradition for the company, with the winner receiving a shot at the championship of their choosing (Heavyweight, Intercontinental and NEVER Openweight). The tradition of the winner getting to choose their title shot started in 2014. The only person to not challenge for the Heavyweight title was Shinsuke Nakamura that same year. He instead chose to challenge for the Intercontinental Title.
Tetsuya Naito is the defending tournament champion.
Quarter-Final matches take place on March 13, 14, 15 & 17. The Semi-Finals occur on March 19. The finals occur on March 20. As opposed to previous years, this tournament is spread out over multiple events as opposed to two or three.

McAusland leaves St.Mirren by 'mutual consent'
By scotzine on	 April 15, 2015 St. Mirren
Marc McAusland has left St.Mirren by 'mutual consent' with his contract being terminated with immediate effect.
The 26 year old went off injured during the 3-0 defeat to Ross County on Monday, that realistically consigned the Buddies to relegation.
Speaking to the official St.Mirren website, McAusland said: "I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone at St Mirren FC especially Danny Lennon who brought me back to the Club, this gave me the opportunity to play for the team I have supported all my life.
"Throughout the past few seasons I have had some great times which culminated in winning the League Cup Final in 2013 which fulfilled a boyhood dream for any Saints fan to lift a national trophy at Hampden. There have also been some disappointments along the way including most of this season which has been difficult for us all.
"Having been at the Club for the majority of my life and career I feel it is now an appropriate time to seek a fresh challenge elsewhere and I would like to thank all the supporters who got behind me and my teammates and I hope they will continue to support the Club positively in the future.
"I wish everyone connected with St Mirren good luck and I'm sure that it won't be long until the good times will return and I look forward to coming back to support the Club when I can."
McAusland was part of the Buddies side that won the Scottish League Cup in 2013 under then manager Danny Lennon.

More info on Joe Pavelski
Joe Pavelski: Map

Joseph Pavelski (born July 11, 1984) is an American professional ice hockey player currently playing for the San Jose Sharks of the National Hockey League (NHL). He scored a goal in his first NHL game, making him the 11th Sharks player in the history of the team to do so.
Junior career
Pavelski won a Wisconsin State Hockey Championship with the SPASH (Stevens Point Area Senior High) Panthers in 2002.. He was a member of the 2004 Clark Cup champion Waterloo Blackhawks of the USHL. He won an NCAA Division I National Championship with the University of Wisconsin Badgers in the 2005–2006 season, while leading the team in overall points.
He started his career on a hot streak, scoring 7 goals and 10 points in his first 12 games. He continued playing well, before suffering a leg injury in his first season that saw his playing time reduced.
During the 2007–08 NHL season, Pavelski became a regular player on the Sharks roster and one of the best and most consistent young players on the squad, having played in all of 82 regular season games and in all of 13 playoff games. He also became one of the most dangerous players in the NHL during the shoot outs, having scored seven times on 11 opportunities that season. During the postseason, he was tied for the team lead in goals with Ryane Clowe (five) and tied for second with Clowe in points (nine). Pavelski also led San Jose with three game-winning goals during the 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs, which tied for third most in the league. In addition to his offensive numbers, he finished tied for 12th among NHL forwards in blocked shots (59) during the regular season.
In the offseason, Pavelski signed a three-year entry level contract that paid him US$850,000 per year (not including bonuses) until June 2008. On June 25, 2008, Pavelski signed a contract extension, which will pay him $3.3M over the next two years.

Q: Orbit maps are proper if and only if action is proper? Let $G$ act continuously on $X$, with both $G$ and $X$ locally compact Hausdorff. One usually defines a proper action to be one for which $(g,x) \mapsto (gx,x) : G \times X \to X \times X$ is a proper map. This definition is a bit uninformative, but one can show pretty easily it is equivalent to saying that, for every compact set $K \subseteq X$, the set $\{g \in G : gK \cap K \neq \varnothing \}$ is compact in $G$.
The second characterization above is rather intuitive. It says that, for any compact set in $X$, you only have to wait a compactly long time before it is translated away from itself. Looking at things this way, we are led to consider another condition on the action which is, a priori, weaker. Namely, we can consider an action with the property that a given point only hangs around in a given compact set for a compactly long time. That is, we can consider an action such that, for each $x \in X$, the orbit mapping $g \mapsto gx : G \to X$ is a proper mapping. It is conceivable that this is actually equivalent to properness of the action, but I don't see how to prove it off the top of my head, so I pose it here as a question.

Question: Let $X$ and $G$ be locally compact Hausdorff. Suppose that, for every $x \in X$, the orbit map $g \mapsto gx : G \to X$ is proper. Does it follow that the action is proper?

I fiddled with this a bit, but didn't decide the answer. If true, I feel it should rely on some principle like the "Tube Lemma". For a little while I thought I had succeeded by applying the following claim

Claim: (False) Let $X$ be a locally compact Hausdorff space and $K$ a compact Hausdorff space. Suppose that $A \subseteq  K \times X$ is a closed set with the property that, for each $k \in K$, the slice $A_k = A \cap (\{k\} \times X)$ is compact. Then $A$ is compact.

which looked plausible (roughly, a "compact union" of compact sets ought to be compact), but actually that claim is false, e.g. $A = \{ (x,1/x): 0 <x < 1\} \cup \{(0,0)\} \subseteq [0,1] \times \mathbb{R}$. I still hold out some hope that the answer to the quesion is yes, though. I feel like there is some equicontinuity or something which I am failing to exploit...? Anyway, that's quite enough half-baked speculation from me!

A: OK, following the comments of Moishe Cohen, we consider the action of $G = \mathbb{Z}$ on $X = \mathbb{R}^2 \setminus \{(0,0)\}$ given by iterating the linear transformation $\left( \begin{smallmatrix} 2 & 0 \\ 0 & \frac{1}{2}\end{smallmatrix} \right)$. The orbits of this action travel along hyperbolas, as pictured in red below.

It is pretty clear from the picture that, for fixed $v \in X$, the orbit map $n \mapsto n \cdot v$ is proper i.e. eventually escapes from any compact set (note that a compact set in $X$ needs to be bounded away from the origin).
On the other hand, we also find that this is not a proper action. Consider a compact line like $L = [0,1] \times \{1\}$. The forward iterates $n \cdot L$, represented as the blue horizontal lines in the picture below, elongate and approach the positive $x$-axis as $n \to \infty$.

Thus, we see the $n \cdot L$ never escape from certain compact sets, for instance the compact disk shaded black in the above image. So, we find that the condition of being a proper action is strictly stronger than having proper orbit maps.

Sports Illustrated: TrackTown dreams big
By Tim Layden / Sports Illustrated
A track and field story: In the summer of 2011, the sport's 13th world championships took place in Daegu, South Korea, an industrial city of more than 2.5 million wedged into a deep valley in the southeastern corner of the country. It was not an entirely unpleasant setting—an endless riot of neon signs and six-lane commercial boulevards, bordered on its distant boundaries by lush, green hillsides that seemed to rise from nowhere. As with many international sporting events, there was a vaguely Lost In Translation feel to every day, but on the scale of one-to-Sochi, it was just fine.
But there is this: Continue Reading at SI.com

Cholesterol is carried through the bloodstream attached to two different compounds called lipoproteins: low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL). LDL is commonly known as the "bad" cholesterol because it transports cholesterol from the liver throughout the body, and potentially allows it to be deposited in the artery walls. HDL, known as the "good cholesterol," picks up cholesterol from the blood and delivers it to cells that use it, or takes it back to the liver to be recycled or eliminated from the body.
Bill Natural Sources® Cholesterol Free contains free plant sterols, which is a nutrient that supports the transport of cholesterol in the body. Instead of clogging up the arteries, the cholesterol just goes out with the waste. Our formulation helps lower blood total and LDL cholesterol and help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. If you are looking for a more natural way to help lower your LDL, try our Cholesterol Free capsules.

James McAvoy: 'I've been made to feel I'm not good-looking enough'
Call me Cyrano: James McAvoy prepares to don the most famous nose in theatre Credit: Rii Schroer
24 November 2019 • 9:12am
A razor to the nose, a 'kick in the nuts' – how 'His Dark Materials' star James McAvoy and stage director Jamie Lloyd took on theatre, and won
Meeting actor James McAvoy and theatre director Jamie Lloyd, you could be forgiven for thinking you were sitting down with two men who'd spent the greater part of their lives refusing to give up allegiance to their respective youth tribes. McAvoy, just turned 40, is all in black with bovver boots and a punk buzz-cut that lends him a tough edge. It suits him. Lloyd, 39, is pneumatically muscled and heavily tattooed, a former skinhead perhaps, with a sense of style. Their eyes, though, tell a different story: McAvoy, passionate, intelligent, watchful; Lloyd, sensitive, deep, humane.
We're in a well-hidden rehearsal studio in the back streets of south London, where the two are preparing a new production of Cyrano de Bergerac. Just up the road is the Menier Chocolate Factory, where Lloyd, one-time wunderkind of British theatre, staged a striking revival of Sondheim's Assassins in 2014. He and McAvoy, the star of Atonement, The Last King of Scotland and the X-Men films, have collaborated on stage three times before, including on a post-apocalyptic Macbeth in 2013. When we meet, they're at the end of their fifth week of rehearsals, with only a few more days to go, and McAvoy is desperate for the play to open. "I get actors' anxiety dreams, and [wake up thinking] 'I can't sleep. I can't sleep. I can't sleep'," he says. "I'll get up and I'll just look at my lines… at f------ 4.30 in the morning."
He's giving off intense bolts of energy; Lloyd is calmer. "There's this weird feeling as a performer that I've always had, which is when I get a job, if it's movies or TV, I'm generally waiting for a scene where I get to prove why I got the job," says McAvoy. "And quite often, that doesn't come along straight away, and you can sense the producers and directors are like, 'When's he gonna bring it?' And you're like, give me a scene to f------ bring it, and I'll bring it.' In theatre, I'm just waiting to get a run at it."
Both men are from working-class backgrounds. Lloyd grew up above his mother's fancy-dress shop in the Dorset town of Poole; his stepfather was a clown called Uncle Funny, and they had a lodger who was a snake-charmer. McAvoy's father was a builder who left his mother, a psychiatric nurse, when their son was seven; he was brought up mostly by his grandparents in the notorious Drumchapel area of Glasgow. Early in his career, McAvoy was known for having a hard edge. "I think I was always ready to fight, and ready to argue and always looking for injustice as a young man," he says. "I sound like an absolute f------ nightmare…"
Does he still regard himself as working class? "I totally live my life as probably an upper-middle-class person, but it's what I came from and it's what formed me. And the lack of opportunity that I experienced as a young person is something that I will never forget, never stop recognising around me."

Lloyd also bears the stamp of his childhood. "I absolutely feel that my background is a part of who I am and what I do as a director," he says. "Not least, because I do believe that theatre and all of culture should be made open and inclusive and accessible to everybody, including those people who cannot afford it. And what's absolutely motoring that is my experience from a low-income family, whose siblings do working-class jobs to this day."
They started talking about doing Cyrano together more than two years ago. Lloyd asked playwright Martin Crimp to create a free adaptation of Edmond Rostand's enduringly popular play (written in 1897 but set in the 1640s), which Crimp completed in a matter of weeks, working directly from the French. Its witty, swashbuckling hero – with the nose so big that no one dares mention it for fear of getting swashed – has rarely been offstage since the original Paris production ran for more than 300 consecutive nights. Notable performances in the role have included Ralph Richardson and Derek Jacobi. The cinema, too, has seen many Cyranos since it was first filmed for the Universal Exposition in Paris in 1900, Gérard Depardieu and Steve Martin (in Roxanne) among them.
Lloyd has directed the play before – on Broadway in 2012 with Douglas Hodge as Cyrano – garnering great reviews, but, he says, "it was a production of the play that you would expect… big prosthetic nose, big hat, big plume… there's this whole performance legacy that we're trying to strip away". Whether the new production will feature a huge nose remains to be seen.
"It's definitely in the collective subconscious, this play," adds McAvoy, "it's the touchstone for all love triangles and tragi-rom-coms." It sets up a romantic bind, in which Cyrano loves the beautiful Roxanne, who in turn is smitten with a handsome young cadet. Out of love for her, Cyrano uses his poetic gifts to put words into the mouth of her would-be wooer.

Is this the best moment, I ask, to be staging a play about seduction by means of deception? "Yes," says McAvoy instantly. "If that is something that is in the air – that one half of the two genders are fed up with the way they're getting treated – I think that's the best time to do a play showing somebody being manipulated."
"Also, I don't think that the men in the play are celebrated for that action," adds Lloyd.
They have a noticeable tendency to back up and support one another's arguments, although they tease each other a little bit. They're mates offstage, too. Lloyd visited McAvoy on the set of the BBC's His Dark Materials in Montreal. McAvoy is currently starring as the commanding Lord Asriel, while Lloyd's eldest son, Lewin (he and wife Suzie Toase have three boys), appears as Lyra's friend Roger.
McAvoy confirms claims that he took the part at very short notice, after two other actors dropped out, but refuses to name them. "It's not nice when you start comparing, oh, what if so-and-so had done it? It's not particularly nice for me and it's not particularly nice for the other actor."
He's touchy, too, when I ask how it was acting with his ex-wife, Anne-Marie Duff, who also appears in the drama – "I'm totally not talking about that!" They first met when they played a couple in Channel 4's Shameless, early in their careers; both were ablaze with brilliance in it. They were married for 10 years before their divorce in 2016, and have a son, Brendan, who's nine. McAvoy doesn't comment on reports that he has recently got remarried in secret, to his girlfriend Lisa Liberati, who also works in the film industry.

He will talk about the paucity of working-class dramas – and comedies – on TV since Shameless… "Comedy seems to want to exist, on TV and film, in a place free of any social realities. It's almost like we can't be funny if we're worrying about how we're going to pay the gas. Friends is like that. They never had to pay rent. Comedy's middle class, and it drives me bonkers. When was the last time you saw a working-class rom-com?"
And even though McAvoy won't talk about those close to him, he can be very frank about himself. When I ask if he can relate to Cyrano's acute self-consciousness about a body part, McAvoy shows me a scar he has on his nose from trying to self-operate on the worst of his teenage acne – "I was like, well, I'll just cut it out with a razor blade. F------ disaster! …everybody made fun of me" – then he starts to delve into how being an actor inevitably entails being objectified.
"Sometimes you're made to feel like you're not good-looking enough to get a role," he says. "I was told once by an actress that it was an interesting choice, my casting, because nobody would usually believe that I would be with somebody like her. That was a kick in the nuts! I was like, 'All right, now I've got to pretend that I really like you for eight more weeks. This is going to be really tough, because you're so far up yourself.' It got really interesting, that relationship.
"And," he continues, "as a shorter man" – he's 5ft 7in – "I sometimes get told I'm too short for a role. Or even when I get a role, I'm made to feel like, well, of course, we're going to have to do something about that." Cyrano's three central characters are all objectified, he says, which makes them "incredibly lonely and isolated".
"Clearly the play has endured because everybody does have a particular insecurity," Lloyd notes, "and that's amplified [in it]."

I wonder if Cyrano is naive when he turns down the prospect of a patron for his poetry: all artists have to compromise with the commercial world, don't they? By way of an answer, McAvoy rather satisfyingly quotes a line from Braveheart – "Uncompromising men are easy to admire" – adding: "They're the people we write plays and films about… it's thrilling to watch them burn. The energy around that type of person is electric."
I want to know how Lloyd views the question in relation to theatre's need for marquee names to sell a production. (His Pinter season featured Danny Dyer, he's worked with Tom Hiddleston, Game of Thrones' Kit Harington and Downton Abbey's Laura Carmichael.) "Actually, I think that's probably changing," he says, pointing out that a lot of plays have been transferring to the West End recently without big names. McAvoy adds that cinema has also broken free from its dependency on stars, suggesting that "the only two genres that are really guaranteed to get an audience are superhero movies and scary movies, where having a huge star is paradoxically not helpful sometimes."
As someone who has played Professor Charles Xavier in three X-Men films and is thus a part of the Marvel Universe – "formerly," he interjects – is he insulted by Martin Scorsese saying that superhero films are as far from his conception of cinema as Earth is from Alpha Centauri, and essentially not an art form? "I would hope he's watched every single one of them to make that statement," he says. "Some of them are s--- and some of them have really moved me. I think that you've got to take it on a film-by-film basis.
But, he adds, "I'm not offended by it. He's Martin Scorsese – he can say what he likes. And he's not going to break the machine by saying it."
Would Lloyd ever put a Marvel comic strip on stage? "Er… no." He laughs.
So is the theatre the best place to experience what Scorsese describes as "revelation, mystery or genuine emotional danger"? "I've talked about this with actors quite a lot," says Lloyd of the way that "sometimes you can feel the audience breathing with you. That's what I'm trying to search for, that absolute connection between an actor and an audience member. That's what we're trying to do here."
McAvoy makes the point that "you can go and see a star in an 'easy play', and you're like, 'Anybody could do this. Why am I coming to see you, the star, in this play? You'd better do something.' " Expect fireworks.

Using naval logbooks to reconstruct past weather—and predict future climate
By Dan Drollette Jr | November 3, 2014
Pity the poor navigator who fell asleep on watch and failed to update his ship's logbook every four hours with details about its geographic position, time, date, wind direction, barometric readings, temperatures, ocean currents, and weather conditions. If he was with the British Royal Navy, the penalties could be harsh; it was—and still is—a serious offense to falsify the data in a logbook. (For example, sleeping on watch—a practice that could lead to logbook-faking—was historically considered a crime punishable by death, according to item 26 of the statutes of the British Admiralty's Articles of War.) "Anything you read in a logbook, you can be sure that it is a true and faithful account," said Clive Wilkinson of the UK's National Maritime Museum.
Centuries later, that rigorously acquired information is being put to good use, providing a trove of archival data to scientists who are trying to fill in the details of our knowledge about the atmosphere and the changing climate. This material is being steadily scanned and put online by the Old Weather Project, an effort in which everyday people armed with laptops comb through old logbooks for climate data and enter it into a centralized, uniform database. These volunteers are making raw information that would otherwise be overlooked into material of use to today's meteorologists and climate researchers.
The transcription and digitalization of these old observations are providing modern researchers with a stream of reliable raw data that had been recorded on a clockwork-like basis. The material from the Old Weather Project is one of several independent lines of investigation that have been helping to create a three-dimensional computer simulation that will provide a continuous, century-and-a-half-long profile of the entire planet's climate over time; this effort is known as the 20th Century Reanalysis Project and run by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. (Other information sources include ocean buoys, aerial photos, weather balloons, coral growth rates, ice cores, ancient tree rings, and the pollen counts in layers of sediment created over centuries, to cite just a few examples from climatologists' lines of inquiry).
Members of the public are a central part of the Old Weather Project—by design. Volunteers are looking through scans of the old logbooks and putting the information in them into usable form for analysis. Through this process, the volunteers in effect become "citizen scientists"—joining an emerging trend that includes such organizations such as Galaxy Zoo, in which volunteers do the grunt work of classifying galaxies, and [email protected], in which the down time of home computers is used to help comb the universe for radio transmissions from deep space, one of the most likely bits of evidence for extraterrestrial intelligence. Most such groups have an affiliation with an umbrella organization, the Zooniverse project.
Human eyes over optical scanners. A key part of the Old Weather Project involves the reading of old, handwritten naval logbooks that have been posted online. The written entries were sometimes made hurriedly, under difficult environmental conditions, by human beings under stress, and recorded on paper that was exposed to the ravages of sun, sea, and salt. Making sense of this handwriting is still best done by human eyeballs; reading handwritten text is something that computers still aren't very good at. (Just to be sure the transcriptions are correct, the data is checked and rechecked a minimum of three times by different people.)
To make this repetitive toil more interesting and keep the volunteers going, the Old Weather Project has made it into a game, with points and ranks awarded to volunteers, based on the amount of data they enter. (For example, it takes 30 weather reports to be promoted to lieutenant.) They also keep a sharp eye out for any information about icebergs, sea ice, animals, battle debris, aircraft, and any mention of volcanoes. In the case of some old naval logbooks, the action described is anything but dull. Volunteers get to follow the minute-by-minute account of a ship going into battle—perhaps the British battlecruiser HMS Invincible going against two German armored cruisers off the Falkland Islands during World War I. Both German ships sank, while only one crewman was injured aboard the Invincible, earning the vessel a place in naval lore.
But what the project seeks from Invincible is another history: all the daily weather, wind, barometric, and temperature observations at specific latitudes, longitudes, times, and dates, faithfully recorded in its logbooks six times a day during the ship's nine-year life, resulting in 1,200 pages of data from that one ship's various voyages. Because of its size and depth of detail, such a trove of information is invaluable to modern scientists trying to reconstruct the past climate. There are an estimated quarter-million such logbooks in the United Kingdom alone, from the Royal Navy, other government vessels, the British version of the Merchant Marine, and, of course, the East India Company. There would be millions of such records, if logbooks from the navies and merchant ships of the rest of the world were included. A good deal of the material is already scanned and available on-line; Naval-History.net alone hosts more than 300 logbooks and ship histories of the Royal Navy during the World War One era, along with a growing number of US logbooks.
The navy logbooks are considered some of the most desirable; the recordings in them were carried out with military precision, and the description of the weather conditions followed a standardized set of readily observed wind effects known as the Beaufort scale—named after the British Rear Admiral who devised it. "Royal Navy logs are the low-hanging fruit of historical weather observations," explained Philip Brohan, a climate scientist from the United Kingdom's Met Office Hadley Centre. "Mariners really care about the weather, and have done so for centuries."
The logbook measurements are particularly useful to climatologists because they were made at sea. About 70 percent of the globe is covered by water, and the oceans absorb and transport vast amounts of heat, which affects our weather. Once the information is entered into a computer-friendly database, the researchers can fill in data points in computer models of the atmosphere for that time period. And by looking at the past with these models, climate scientists today can improve climate modeling and better predict changes in climate.
Beyond the NOAA project to model the past 140 years of climate, the Old Weather Project is contributing to the dataset being compiled by Atmospheric Circulation Reconstructions over the Earth (ACRE), an international coordinating body for climate research.
The value of the citizen scientist. The Old Weather Project is now working on a collection of logbook pages from ships operating in the Arctic region and from ships sailing in the latter half of the 19th century. Its community has already transcribed 44 percent of these. The project will expand to include larger collections of logbooks of historical weather observations after these Arctic logs are digitized.
Meanwhile, scientists in the 20th Century Reanalysis Project have been combining Old Weather's data with other global observation archives.
To process the climate data, the 20th Century Reanalysis project uses high-performance supercomputers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee and at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California. Such large and expensive machines—known colloquially as "big iron"—are essential for handling all the material once it's been digitized, with file systems capable of supporting petabytes (millions of gigabytes) of statistics. (To give a sense of scale, 2 petabytes is equal to all the information in all US academic research libraries.)
There is plenty more raw material to be tapped from the navies of the world—especially the US Navy—and from a multitude of non-naval institutions as well, such as the files from the extensive collections of whaling museums and nautical organizations. The Old Weather Project, which started four years ago and originally focused more or less exclusively on naval ships from the United Kingdom, has formed a partnership with the US National Archives so it can include ships' logs from the US Navy and Coast Guard (and their predecessors, including the Revenue Cutter Service, the Life-Saving Service, and the Coast Survey) and from non-military American voyages in the Arctic made between 1850 and World War II. Just a few weeks ago, the Old Weather Project was able to add 125,000 observations about sea-ice zones in Baffin Bay and the Bering Strait, from the records of just eight American ships in the Arctic. "There are logbooks in America, there are logbooks in South America, in Asia. There are literally billions of observations to be captured," Wilkinson said in a UK National Maritime Museum video.
"We need to collect as much historical data as we can over the oceans, because if we wish to understand what the weather will do in the future, then we need to understand what the weather was doing in the past."

None of our old furniture fit in size or style when we moved to our little project house on the water. The further along we'd get with house renovations and makeovers, the more our old bed looked out of place. What's a girl to do when she has a tiny budget for a big ticket item? DIY it of course.
Let me share a few housekeeping items before you start that will make this project even easier to tackle. First, this bed needs to be assembled in the space in the bedroom it will be in. The assembled parts are larger than a doorway. I stained and waxed my wood pieces before assembling. Since the wood was already finished, you'll see that I placed a heavy moving blanket on the floor to protect the wood from scratches.
Plans and Cut List is for a Queen Size Bed.
Click here to download H2O Bungalow's project plans for this How-To!
Prepare: If you are planing to finish the wood before assembling the bed, prepare by cutting, sanding and finish all of the maple pieces. I also choose to drill my pocket holes before finishing my wood.
Assemble the headboard frame. Set the pocket hole jig for 1 ½" material and drill pocket holes in each end of the upper rail and lower headboard plank. Secure the pieces to the bed post with glue and 2" pocket hole screws. The inside face of the lower headboard plank will be flush with the front of the bed post which is the side facing the mattress. Center the upper rail on the bedpost with the pocket holes facing out, and attach. To keep a consistent center placement for all the joined pieces on the bed posts, I cut a ¾" x 5" piece of wood as a guide. Example: lay the bedpost on the floor. Position the guide piece next to the bedpost and position the upper rail on top of the guide. This will center the pieces perfectly while joining all of the pieces to the bedposts.
Install headboard planks. Set the pocket hole jig for ¾" material and drill pocket holes in each end of the headboard planks. Secure the planks to the bed posts using glue and 1 ¼" pocket hole screws on the back of the headboard.
Assemble the footboard frame. Set the pocket hole jig for 1 ½" material. Drill pocket holes in each end of the top rail and footboard. Secure the pieces to the legs using glue and 2" pocket hole screws.
Attach the upper and lower side rails. Drill pocket holes in each end of the side rails and upper rails with the jig set to 1 ½". Secure them to the bed posts using 2 " pocket screws. Use the wood guide to position. Note: Do NOT use glue on this step in case the bed needs to be disassembled to move!
Optional add extra support. I added small cleats under each joint on the bedposts and struts in the corners. I had an issue with my screws shearing off in the hardwood bedposts. I couldn't drill pilot holes in the pocket holes to prevent this. My bed posts were extremely dense. You may notice a few extra pocket holes in my lower foot board and headboard pictures because of this challenge. I had to use shorter screws to join some of these areas. I added extra support which you'll see below. If you choose to add this, you'll need to shorten the side rail cleats.
Attach the slat cleats. Secure the cleats to the side rails using countersunk 1 ½" wood screws approximately every 12". The bottom edge of the cleat will be flush with the bottom edge of the side rail.
Assemble and attach center support. Drill pocket holes in each end of the center 2" x 2" long support piece and one end only on each 2" x 2" center support leg. Secure the 2" x 2" legs to the center support using glue and 2" pocket hole screws 18" from each end of the support bar.
The contemporary features of slim footboards and siderails,as well as square bedposts work well with many decor styles.
Wendi, this looks absolutely amazing! I love it and can't wait to build one myself.
This would look awesome with the cherry lumber I have just waiting for that project to come along.
Mortise and tenon joints will be far superior to pocket screws for a frame that will take much abuse over the years. I urge you to start over and build this bed the way it should have been built from the beginning.

OMG!! Dimple Kapadia And Sunny Deol Spotted Holding Hands In London
And after all these years, a video of the two is making a lot of noise. Dimple and Sunny were seen indulging in some PDA in London.
Just a few days after Mahira Khan and Ranbir Kapoor's pictures from New York went viral , a video of another alleged couple has surfaced on the internet. Back in the day, there were reports of Dimple Kapadia and Sunny Deol's alleged love affair. While the two maintained that they were just good friends, rumours died their own death.
And after all these years, a video of the two is making a lot of noise. Dimple and Sunny were seen indulging in some PDA in London. The video of the two holding hands while waiting for a bus has gone viral.
According to a report, they flew down to the city in August. The video was shared online by self-styled film critic, Kamal R Khan, who captioned his tweet with, "Sunny Deol and Dimple Kapadia are enjoying their holidays together. They are looking beautiful couple (sic)."
Take a look at the video here:

Sunny Deol recently starred in Shreyas Talpade's directorial debut Poster Boys, along with his brother, Bobby. Dimple Kapadia was last seen on the big screen in a supporting role in 2015's Welcome Back.
A few months back both were seen exiting from the Mumbai airport. They were together and went their separate ways as the paparazzi were around.Sunny and Dimple's chemistry has been appreciated as they have given us films like Manzil Manzil, Gunaah, Aag Ka Gola, Arjun and Narasimha. But more than their movies, they made headlines for their rumoured relationship. It's after ages that the two were spotted at the same place.
There was a time when these two talented actors were on the verge of getting married or according to a few reports they were already married. Some reports even went on to claim that Sunny was the reason for Dimple's separation with late actor Rajesh Khanna.

Home Gaming Everything You Need To Know About How To Make A Repeater In...
Minecraft is a first-person video game released in 2011, and it's still growing. It has 100 million registered users, and the numbers keep rising. The novelty of this game is that you can build anything you want with blocks, go on quests, interact with other players and have fun. There are many different types of servers, but the most popular ones are either mini games or sandbox/creative servers where players can use their imagination to create whatever they want. As for today, there are 12 different official versions of Mine craft: PC/Mac, Pocket Edition (PE), Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, 4 and Vita, Android, iOS, Windows 10 Mobile, Apple TV, Gear VR, and Fire OS.
The original game costs $26.95 on the Microsoft Store, but you can also get it free if you have an Xbox Live Gold subscription. The game is constantly updated with new features, and there's always something to do. In this article, we're going to describe you how to make a repeater in Minecraft. A repeater is an essential component of any Redstone circuit. It delays the flow of current by a set amount of time, which can be useful for creating circuits that are more complex.
Repeater in Minecraft
Repeater in Minecraft is a Redstone circuit that alternates signals to output devices. It has two inputs and one output, with the production toggled by either input. A repeater can be placed on all six sides of a block but cannot be oriented vertically. The speed at which it propagates signals can also be controlled by right-clicking it once for each meter per second you want the call to go through, costing one Redstone dust each time. To make a repeater in Minecraft, you'll need the following items:

4 Redstone dust
2 iron ingots
1 Redstone torch
Start by crafting a Redstone torch with 2 Redstone dust and one iron ingot.
Next, place the Redstone torch on the ground so that it's facing upwards.
Now, place 3 of the four pieces of Redstone dust above the Redstone torch in a line.
Finally, place the last piece of Redstone dust on the right side of the line to form a corner with the Redstone dust from step 3.
Now you have your repeater! The Redstone torch will act as the power source, and it will send current down the line of Redstone dust, which will then be delayed by two-game ticks (2/1000000) before reaching the last piece of Redstone dust the row.
By two powered rails beside each other
You can make a repeating Minecraft by placing two powered rails beside each other on the ground. When the cart moves over the powered rails, it will gain power and move faster. This method of powering is more sensible than Redstone torches because you do not have to be present to provide it with energy. You can also place two blocks diagonally so that half the repeater is above one block and half is above another block. This way, you can determine which rail is being pushed if they are side by side or diagonal from one another.
Try making a push-button!
First, dig out a square 3×3 hole in the ground. Then, place a block in the center of the hole. Next, put a Redstone torch on the block. Now, stand up and look at the four blocks surrounding the central block. On two of those blocks, place Redstone torches as seen in the picture. Finally, put a lever on one of the blocks with a Redstone torch, and you're done! When you press the lever, it will activate the Redstone torch on the central block, which will turn on the other two Redstone torches and power the repeater.
More about Repeater
A repeater in Minecraft is a Redstone circuit that alternates signals to output devices. It has two inputs and one output, with the output being toggled by either input. A repeater can be placed on all six sides of a block, but cannot be oriented vertically. The speed at which it propagates signals can also be controlled by right-clicking it once for each meter per second you want the signal to go through.
A repeater can be set to a 1-tick delay by placing a Redstone Torch behind it. When activated, this will cause the repeater to stay on for one tick, and then turn off again. This is useful for creating delayed clocks, or for adding a 1-tick delay to any other circuit.
It can also be used in tandem with an inverter to create a T flip-flop
When the input signal is off, the repeater will output a password; when the input signal is on, the repeater will output a movement that is off. This can create logic gates, memory cells, and other complex circuits. A repeater can also be used with an inverter to generate a T flip-flop. When the input signal is off, the repeater will output a password; when the input signal is on, the repeater will output a movement that is off. This can create logic gates, memory cells, and other complex circuits.

Parshat Chaye Sara
(Genesis 23:1-25:18)
(Haftara: Melachim I, 1:1-31)
[24:50] "…it is God's doing…" Bethuel and his family were idol worshippers. Why did they say that these events are God's doing? Can one be an idol worshipper and also believe in the one universal God?
[24:63] "And Yitzchak went 'lasuach basade'…" Rashi says that Yitzchak was praying in the field. Since this was much before we had a set prayer in the prayerbooks, it means that he spoke to God spontaneously about what was in his heart and on his mind. What are the advantages of set prayer from the prayerbooks and what are the advantages of spontaneous prayer?
[24:67] "…and she became his wife and he loved her…" We are told that Yitzchak loved Rivkah. According to the midrash, Yitzchak was somewhat traumatized because he was almost sacrificed on an altar. What does the fact that Rivkah gave water to the camels without being asked, show about the fact that she was capable of creating a "love" relationship with Yitzchak?
[24:67] "…and he took Rivkah and she became his wife and he loved her…" The Ramban says that Yitzchak loved Rivkah because she was righteous like Sara. Is it "true love" if somebody loves someone because she reminds him of someone else?
[Haftara: Kings I, 1:28 ] "…'Call Bat-sheva to me'…" King David had sinned with Bat-sheva, but he had sincerely regretted his sin, and, in fact, their child, Shlomo became the next king. The Talmud tells us that someone who sins and then sincerely becomes pure and moral is greater than someone who lives a life of total purity and morality and never sins. How is such a person greater?
If there is anything that a person can correct and put in order, he should do it without delay. And he should not worry about that which he is unable to fix. One should always concern oneself with self -improvement and with improving the world. This should be done with the greatest mental clarity that one is capable of.
–R. Avraham Y. H. Kuk, 1865-1935, Lithuania and Israel.

Consistent peak performance is not just a function of having the right skill sets; it is a matter of consistently taking control and managing our mindset. Mindset is what allows us to access more (or less) of our skill sets at any given time. No matter how good you are at your profession "technically," you can never reach the top of your game without understanding and applying the principles of mind shifting diligently. Just as your car has multiple gears allowing it to go faster and faster as it up shifts with the same amount of horsepower, you can climb higher and higher in your career or profession with the same intellectual horsepower. However, to take it to the next level (and beyond!) requires knowing how to engage your higher gears. The ability to shift our minds into higher and higher gears allows us to experience more and more success.
This interactive session is designed for training leaders looking for strategies and techniques to inspire their training teams and for individual trainers seeking actionable strategies to elicit the best from their employees. Lewis Pugh (who swam across the North Pole) said, "There is nothing more powerful than the made up mind!"

Chess in the Times
1/13/2005 – When chess makes it to an extended article in the venerable New York Times, that is news. Dylan Loeb McClain summarizes the state of chess in an age of computers, making Garry Kasparov "responsible for the widespread adoption of electronic aids by chess players". Excerpts...
Excerpts from the NYT article:
Game databases, many of which are online, give players information about what opening strategies their opponents use. And rapidly improving chess computer programs can analyze games and make suggestions about what to play. In many cases, electronic game collections are replacing books as chess players' primary source of information.
Using computers and databases during tournament matches is not allowed, and most players say that cheating is rare. But using such systems to help prepare has become ubiquitous. Before people started using databases, a player who came up with a new move in an opening might be able to use it several times before enough people found out about it to start preparing for it. Now innovations are known almost as soon as they are played. "The profit maybe is very small," Mr. Kasparov said. "You can only use it one game."
Mr. Kasparov himself may be most responsible for the widespread adoption of electronic aids by chess players.
André Schulz, editor of Chessbase (chessbase.com), an online database and news site based in Hamburg, Germany, said that Mr. Kasparov met one of the company's founders, Matthias Wullenweber, in 1985, when Mr. Kasparov was preparing for his second world championship match against Anatoly Karpov. With suggestions from Mr. Kasparov, Mr. Wullenweber created a program that would allow someone to search a database of games based on different specifications, like player names, positions and opening names.
Mr. Kasparov was enthusiastic about the resulting program and when Mr. Wullenweber started selling it, Mr. Kasparov gave it an endorsement sure to catch the attention of other players. "It's the greatest development for chess since the invention of the printing press," Mr. Kasparov said.

## Problem 1. Method Says Hello!

You will receive the **person name as an input**. Write a class **Person** that only has a name and a **method**. The method should describe a greeting by the person, returning a string "<Person name> says Hello!". Print the result of the method call.

#### Note

Add the following code to your main method and submit it to Judge.

```csharp
Type personType = typeof(Person);
FieldInfo[] fields = personType.GetFields(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);
MethodInfo[] methods = personType.GetMethods(BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Instance);

if (fields.Length != 1 || methods.Length != 5)
{
    throw new Exception();
}

string personName = Console.ReadLine();
Person person = new Person(personName);

Console.WriteLine(person.SayHello());

```

If you defined the class correctly, the test should pass.

### Examples

| **Input** | **Output** |
| --- | --- |
| Peter | Peter says "Hello"! |

## Problem 2. Oldest Family Member

Create class **Person** with fields **name** and **age**. Create a class **Family**. The class should have **list of people** , method for adding members (**void AddMember(Person member)**) and a method returning the oldest family member(**Person  GetOldestMember()**). Write a program that reads name and age for **N** people and **add them to the family**. Then **print** the **name** and **age** of the oldest member.

#### Note

Add the following code to your main method before your code and submit it to Judge.

```csharp
MethodInfo oldestMemberMethod = typeof(Family).GetMethod("GetOldestMember");
MethodInfo addMemberMethod = typeof(Family).GetMethod("AddMember");
if(oldestMemberMethod == null || addMemberMethod == null)
{
   throw new Exception();
}

```

If you defined the class correctly, the test should pass.

### Examples

 Pesho 3
 Gosho 4
 Annie 5 | Annie 5 | 5
 Steve 10
 Christopher 15
 Annie 4
 Ivan 35
 Maria 34 | Ivan 35 |

## Problem 3. Last Digit Name

Write a class **Number** that will hold an integer number. Write a **method** in the class that returns the **English name** of the last digit **of the given number. Write a program that** reads an integer **and prints the** returned value from this method.

### Examples

| **Input** | **Output** |  **Input** | **Output** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1024 | four |  512 | two |

## Problem 4. Number in Reversed Order

Write a class **DecimalNumber** that has a method that **prints all its digits** in **reversed order**.

### Examples

| **Input** | **Output** |  **Input** | **Output** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 256 | 652 | 1.12 | 21.1 |

## Problem 5. Fibonacci Numbers

Define a class **Fibonacci**. It should keep a **list** of all **Fibonacci numbers** starting from **0, 1 until Nth** number in the sequence. Write a **method** in the Fibonacci class that receives as parameters **start position** and **end position** and returns **part of the sequence** starting from **start position (inclusive)** until **end position (exclusive)**.
**List<int> GetNumbersInRange(int startPosition, int endPosition)**.

Write a program that reads **start position** and **end position** and prints the **Fibonacci numbers in that range**.

### Examples

| **Input** | **Output** |
| --- | --- |
| 0
 6 | 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5 |
| 6
 7 | 8 |
| 17
 20 | 1597, 2584, 4181 |

## **Problem 6. Prime Checker**

Create a class **Number**. It should consist of an Integer and a Boolean. The integer is the actual value of the Number instance itself and the Boolean is representing � is it prime or not. They should be passed as parameters to the constructor ( **Note there could be a case in which a passed Boolean value does not match** ). The class should have a functionality to return the values of the Integer and the Boolean. Write another method whose goal is to return the next prime number as **new instance of the class**.

  **You will be given an input** � the integer **"n"** of the class. Your task is to print on the console the next prime number and the Boolean value of the **current instance**.

### Examples

| **Input** | **Output** |
| --- | --- |
| 0 | 1, true |
| 1 | 2, true |
| 2 | 3, true |
| 14 | 17, false |

## **Problem 7. ImmutableList**

Create a class **ImmutableList**. It should consist of a collection of integers and a function to return them. You **should not** be able to modify the collection (e.g. every time you try to get the current collection, you should get a new collection of the same elements or return a copy of the current collection, **and never the collection itself** ).

#### Note

Add the following code to your main method and submit it to Judge.

```csharp
Type immutableList = typeof(ImmutableList);
FieldInfo[] fields = immutableList.GetFields();
if(fields.Length < 1)
{
   throw new Exception();
}
else
{
   Console.WriteLine(fields.Length);
}

MethodInfo[] methods = immutableList.GetMethods();
bool containsMethod = methods.Any(m => m.ReturnType.Name.Equals("ImmutableList"));
if(!containsMethod)
{
    throw new Exception();
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine(methods[0].ReturnType.Name);
}

```

If you've defined the class correctly, the test should pass.

## 6.Problem 8. Car

Create a class **Car**. Every car has a **speed, fuel** and **fuel economy** (given in the same order on the first line). They should be stored in the class. Your task is to create a program which executes one of the commands:

- **Travel <distance>** � makes the car travel the specified <distance>

If you are given a distance which you don't have enough fuel to travel, just go as far as you can.

- **Refuel <liters>** � refuels the car with the specified <fuel>
- **Distance** � gets the total travel distance
- **Time** � get the total travel time
- **Fuel** � gets the remaining fuel
- **END** � stops the program

### Examples

| **Input** | **Output** |
| --- | --- |
| 100 20 20
 Travel 100
 Distance
 Time
 Fuel
 END | Total distance: 100.0 kilometers
 Total time: 1 hours and 0 minutes
 Fuel left: 0.0 liters |

## Problem 9. Pizza Time

Create a class **Pizza**. Every Pizza has a name (e.g. "Peperoni") and a group. You should make it have a functionality to return its name and group.

Write a method ( **in the class Pizza** ), which parameters are Strings and the result is a **SortedDictionary** of groups (integer) as key and **list of names** (strings) as value. On the single input line, you will receive some strings. Every string is in format **{group number}{pizza name}**

Your task is to get the input from the console and create a collection of pizza instances. Set their names and their groups to correspond the input. Make a **SortedDictonary** consisting of the group and all pizza names of that group. After you collect the input, print the groups and their pizzas. **You must use params!**

| **Input** | **Output** |
| --- | --- |
| 4Peperoni 2Margarita 2RunningChiken 4DonVito | 2 � Margarita, RunningChiken
 4 � Peperoni, DonVito |

#### Note

Add the following code to your main method and submit it to Judge.

```csharp
MethodInfo[] methods = typeof(Pizza).GetMethods();
bool containsMethod = methods.Any(m => m.ReturnType.Name.Contains("SortedDictionary"));
if (!containsMethod)
{
    throw new Exception();
}

```

If you've defined the class correctly, the test should pass.

> #### Hint
> Try using **regex** for processing the input.

## Problem 10. Date Modifier

Create a class **DateModifier** which stores the difference of the days between two Dates. It should have a method which takes **two string parameters** representing a date **as strings and** calculates the difference in the days between them.

### Examples

| **Input** | **Output** |
| --- | --- |
| 1992 05 31
 2016 06 17 | 8782 |
| 2016 05 31
 2016 04 19 | 42 |

> #### Hint
> Use the **DateTime** class.

## Problem 12. Rectangle Intersection

Create a class **Rectangle**. It should consist of an **ID, width, height** and the **coordinates of its top left corner** ( **horizontal and vertical** ). Create a **method** which **receives as a parameter** another Rectangle **, checks if the two rectangles** intersect **and** returns true or false.

On the first line you will receive the **number of rectangles** � **N** and the number of **intersection checks** � **M**. On the next **N** lines, you will get the rectangles with their **ID, width, height and coordinates**. On the last **M** lines, you will get **pairs of IDs** which represent rectangles. Print if each of the pairs **intersect.**

You will always receive valid data. There is no need to check if a rectangle exists.

### Examples

| **Input** | **Output** |
| --- | --- |
| 2 1
 Pesho 2 2 0 0
 Gosho 2 2 0 0
 Pesho Gosho | true |

## Problem 13. \*Print People

Create a class **Person**. Every person should have name, age and occupation. Your task is to create the class and read some people, while adding them to a collection. Sort them by age and print them in the given format. **Override the ToString() and CompareTo() methods.**

### Examples

| **Input** | **Output** |
| --- | --- |
| Gosho 22 Dentist
 Mimi 13 Student
 END | Mimi - age: 13, occupation: Student
 Gosho - age: 22, occupation: Dentist |

## Problem 14. \*\*Drawing tool

You are young programmer and your Boss is giving you a task to create a tool which is drawing figures on the console. He knows you are not so good at OOP tasks so he told you to create only single class - CorDraw. Its task is to draw rectangular figures on the screen.

CorDraw's constructor should take as parameter a Square instance or a Rectangle instance, extract its characteristics and draw the figure. Like we said your Boss is a good guy and he has some more info for you:

One of your classes should be a class named **Square** that should have only one method � **Draw()** which uses the length of the square's sides and draws them on the console. For horizontal lines, use dashes ("-") and spaces (" "). For vertical lines � pipes ("|"). If the size of the figure is 6, dashes should also be 6.

### Examples

#### Input:
**Square**

**3**

```
|- - -|
|     |
|- - -|
```

#### Input:
**Rectangle**

**7**

**3**

```
|- - - - - - -|
|             |
|- - - - - - -|
```

Q: Convert numpy slice to Opencv c++ Mat I have an array in python with shape (1, 17, 17, 5, 5). I need to get a subarray of this array:
subarray = array[0]
subarray = subarray[:,:,:,4]

Now I need to write the same code in C++ using a Opencv Mat.
How do I get this subarray? Is there an easy way to slice a Mat same as with Numpy?

A: Opencv Matrices follow a completely different paradigm than numpy arrays, and thus you aren't going to be able to take advantage of broadcasting and other indexing features numpy allows.
Out side of special circumstances, OpenCV doesn't even support matrices over 3 dimensions due to how specialized OpenCV is towards computer vision.  If you absolutely need to use an opencv matrix for this, create a 1 dimensional opencv matrix of size sum(array.shape) and stuff all your data in in C order, then you can still use the general indexing formula for arbitrary dimensions:
cv::Mat your_mat = /*what ever data for your flattened matrix assuming double,*/
vector<int> dimensions = {/*what ever your dimensions are, in this case 1, 17, 17, 5, 5*/};
vector<int> nd_index = {/*what ever indexes you are trying to access, assuming x, y, z, ... order, not C order*/};
int accumulated_frame_size = 1;
int linear_index = 0;
for(int dim_idx = 0; dim_idx < dimensions.size(); ++dim_idx){
    linear_index += nd_index[dim_idx] * accumulated_frame_size;
    accumulated_frame_size *= nd_index[dim_idx];
}
//the value for that index.
std::cout << your_mat.at<double>(linear_idx) << "\n";

Note of course most of what you probably want to do to operate on this probably won't work unless it is solely element wise.
Since you want to do something specific, we can do a bit better.  The first singleton dimension in our array wouldn't exist, since we flatten it in C++, so no need to subscript by [0]. If we think about it, subarray[:,:,:,4] is actually just the 4th index of every 5 element offset, nothing more.   To extract that information we first calculate how many of these elements we want to extract then input them in another matrix.
int extract_count =  17 * 17 * 5; //all dimensions before indexed dimension.
int final_dim_size = 5;
int extract_index = 4;
cv::Mat extracted_mat(1,extract_count,CV_64F);
for(int i = 0; i< extract_count ; ++i){
    extracted_mat.at<double>(i) = your_mat.at<double>(i*final_dim_size + extract_index);
}

What Numpy does is internally convert all indexes you make to similar operations.

A: I ended up using cv::Range to get the subarray I needed
std::vector<cv::Range> ranges;
ranges.push_back(cv::Range(0, 1));
ranges.push_back(cv::Range::all());
ranges.push_back(cv::Range::all());
ranges.push_back(cv::Range::all());
ranges.push_back(cv::Range(4, 5));

cv::Mat subarray = array(ranges);

It doesn't change the dimensions of the array, but makes sure I am only looking to the data that I am interested in.


Lar Kaye with All Tvvins bandmate Conor Adams. For Kaye, the 'Thirtysixstrings' album showed him what an Irish band could achieve when he was a teenager.
When I was 17, I was given this record by an old bandmate and I vividly remember his enthusiasm for what I was about to experience. The opening guitar tones of You Owe Me Five Potatoes still transport me back to that period of time: school, boredom, confusion. It just had so much emotion and beauty about it.
My life at this time was essentially just school, playing in a band and rehearsing at every free moment I had. We all worked out of a small studio in Crumlin and this album was constantly on loop. When I heard that the band were Irish and rehearsed and lived down the road from where we were based, that blew my mind.
I had been living and breathing this record, believing that this was some huge cult DIY band out of the States or somewhere more "exotic", not just down the road in Crumlin.
This is another reason why this record changed my life: it gave me a focus and set the bar for creativity. It showed me what an Irish band could achieve. The emotion I felt from all the tracks was now in context with my daily surroundings and all the sights I had grown up with.
Listening to it nowadays, the guitar riffs on the second track Sweet Pot are still so slick and futuristic to me. I must have jammed along to that track a thousand times at home.
From the depths of our own rehearsal space in Crumlin, inspired by The Redneck Manifesto, we formed a band called Adebisi Shank. We got to record and release music, travel all over the world on our own terms. As a group of close friends playing and believing in what they were creating, I don't think I would have had the same outlook on life had it not been for this record.
All Tvvins begin an Irish tour in March 2018 and DJ at the Lumo Club Christmas Party on Friday, December 15th, in Dublin's Tengu.

At most dealerships BDC Reps are setting many of the dealerships appointments but are not the Salesperson. As it is currently, the BDC rep setting the appointment shows up on the screen in the showroom as the "salesperson" even though they may not be in sales and are just the one who set the appointment. Changing the heading for that column on the VIP log will make it less confusing to customer. In this way, if the appointment WAS set by a particular salesperson they would still show up as the one who set the appointment, or, if it was set by a BDC rep, it would accurately reflect that they set the appointment even though they are not the salesperson.

This feature hit production with this morning's new version post. Thanks for the idea!
