Q: Average depth of linear features in QGIS I have a shapefile with some linear features that I have drawn on the seafloor with QGIS. How can I calculate the depth of these in the field calculator (or another place)? I am looking for the average depth of each of the linear features. The seafloor map is an asc file, but I have tif and DEM of the same file if that for some reason could make it easier.

A: Drape to transfer the raster values to your line vertices as z-values.
(I used Densify by interval first to add more vertices.)
Field Calculate mean z value of your vertices with:
array_mean(array_foreach(
     (generate_series( 1, num_points( $geometry))), z(point_n($geometry, @element))))

Oxford SGA Proposes Changes to Elections Code
Posted by Belicia Rodriguez | Apr 4, 2018 | News
Oxford Student Government Assocation (SGA) President Ben Palmer (18Ox, 20B) (Left) and Oxford SGA Speaker of the Senate Jacob Hicks (18Ox, 20C) (Right) present three bills to Emory's SGA that would revise the Code of Elections./Yohan Jhaveri, Staff
The 51st legislature of the Student Government Association (SGA) passed bills on Monday night that amend the Code of Elections by allowing a "No Confidence" option in contested races and clarifying registration requirements for candidates. A bill that calls for anonymity during electoral misconduct investigations was tabled. The bills stemmed from issues raised during the Spring 2018 student government election cycle.
Additionally, SGA approved the administrative budget for the 52nd legislature and the 2018-2019 Executive Agency (EA) budgets.
The legislature unanimously passed with 10 votes Bill 51sl63, submitted by the Oxford SGA, which calls for a "No Confidence" option on elections ballots and aims to provide students with "the opportunity to voice dissent against all candidates running." Previously, the ballot only offered a "No Confidence" option in races where candidates were running uncontested.
SGA Speaker of the Legislature and Senior Representative William Palmer (18C) stated that the bill needed to be amended to provide a formal change to the Code of Elections that would allow a "No Confidence" option for all elections ballots. Freshman Representative Austin Graham (21C) initiated an amendment to the bill that would remove the phrase "where candidates are uncontested" from Part III, Article 2, Section F of the Code of Elections. The amendment passed unanimously with 10 votes, as did the bill.
SGA President Gurbani Singh (18B) noted that the next legislature needs to codify what would happen if "No Confidence" receives the majority of votes and whether a candidate who loses to "No Confidence" could run again in a run-off election.
Bill 51sl64, submitted by the Oxford SGA, passed with nine voting in favor and one abstaining. It prohibits late registration for candidates unless the Elections Board "finds an internal error," according to the bill. If candidate registration is extended, the bill calls for the extension to take place publicly and in a "timely" manner.
Originally, the bill had stated that if there is a reason for the Elections Board to extend the deadline, then the deadline must be extended for all eligible students. Graham called for the bill to amend Part IV, Article 2 of the Code of Elections and replace the rule that a candidate only has 12 hours after the Elections Board's final interest meeting for potential candidates to petition for candidacy.
The bill amendment states that a list of successfully registered candidates should be released to the student body after the registration period concludes. Any student who is not listed as a successfully registered candidate has 24 hours to submit a petition to the Elections Board and potentially be added to the list.
Oxford SGA President Ben Palmer (18Ox, 20B) said the use of OrgSync to register candidates would solve the issue of candidates not knowing whether they have officially and successfully registered for the election. For the past two years, the Elections Board has used Google Forms for candidate declaration. The Elections Board heard cases this elections season regarding four late declarers: Mario Karras (17Ox, 19B), Radhika Kadakia (20C), Karen Lee (21C) and Sania Chandrani (19B).
"I do think if we moved it straight to OrgSync [for candidate declarations], that platform would … solve the [problem with] notifications because as soon as the Elections Board says 'Yes, you are an approved candidate,' they get an email receipt that says so," Ben Palmer said.
SGA Attorney General Elias Neibart (20C) responded by recommending OrgSync not be codified into the bill because he had "heard rumblings about changing platforms for next year because OrgSync was not functioning properly."
William Palmer said that, by using OrgSync to register candidates, there would be no way of knowing which students had registered properly.
The amendment passed unanimously with 10 votes.
Chair of the Elections Board Betty Zhang (20C), who told the Wheel she planned to resign on Tuesday night, asked if the bill would give the Elections Board power to decide what constitutes an "internal error." Ben Palmer said the bill was left intentionally vague in order to leave it up to the interpretation of the Elections Board.
Zhang said she did interpret each case brought to the Board during the election cycle differently.
"I did it on a case-by-case basis, so that this candidate had a case of technological error and the next candidate [had] a case of a completely different error, and that proved to be problematic because people started challenging the basis of which I decided," Zhang said.
William Palmer said students should have the ability to challenge the Elections Board.
"Being challenged doesn't mean you were wrong," William Palmer said. "It just means people think that you may have been wrong and want to challenge [or] petition. I don't think that's a problem."
Graham said he didn't agree with the bill's vagueness and recommended that the 52nd legislature codify what an "internal error" means.
"It would allow you to make ex post facto decisions based on biases of the committee," Graham said. "As we've seen this year by some of the widespread failures of us to provide a transparent, trustworthy election cycle for our constituents is that we are critically unselfaware of what we're doing wrong. And so it's important for us to not make these rules and make these decisions on a case by case basis."
Ben Palmer said that any biases would be nullified because the bill would extend the registration to all candidates. William Palmer said he believes that allowing an extension for everyone is "too forgiving" and should be removed from the text of the bill.
Graham offered an amendment to the bill that would remove the deadline extension offered to all candidates. The amendment passed with nine votes in favor and one abstaining.
Bill 51sl65, submitted by Oxford SGA, called for students to be allowed to submit complaints anonymously during an investigation by the Elections Board and that all complaints become public only after the investigation is complete and a public hearing is held. The bill was tabled, and the legislature will resume its discussion next Monday.
Ben Palmer said this bill is in response to the Elections Board's investigation into alleged misconduct by incoming SGA President Dwight Ma (17Ox, 19C). Although one of the complainants asked to be anonymous, Zhang provided his name and his complaint to the Wheel. Ben Palmer clarified that he was not "going at the Wheel, who reported it" but wanted to discuss "what constitutes the right to a fully public trial."
Neibart said that he thought it would be "premature to pass this" and that the rules around anonymity should "mirror the language in Emory [Student] Conduct Code."
Graham said the legislature should codify when the Elections Board should communicate with the community about investigations. Graham also mentioned that he does not support the Wheel's decision to release information regarding investigations during the past election cycle.
"I don't think [the Wheel] did the right thing by the community, by the election's committee or by their journalistic standards," Graham said. "But I think we should codify the way in which these things are released to the broader community rather than codifying the rights of anonymity first."
According to Article VII, Section I of the SGA Constitution, "the papers of the SGA shall be considered public records."
The legislature tabled the bill because it was soon going to lose quorum and still needed to vote on two bills as both BBA representatives had to leave for their BBA Council meeting at 8 p.m.
SGA Vice President of Finance Javi Reyes (18B) proposed Bill 51sl66, which approves the administrative budget of $27,458.80 for the 52nd legislature of the SGA. The budget is identical to the one of the 51st student legislature. Graham said he thought it was "weird" that the 51st legislature voted on the 52nd SGA legislature's budget, but Reyes said the procedure was part of the Finance Code. William Palmer said it was a "safeguard" so that the 52nd legislature doesn't vote on their own budget.
The bill passed with nine voting in favor and one abstaining. Oxford SGA Speaker of the Senate Jacob Hicks (18Ox, 20C), who was acting as a proxy, abstained from voting.
Reyes also proposed Bill 51sl66, which approves the 2018-2019 EA budget. There was no discussion around the bill. The bill was passed with nine votes in favor and Hicks abstaining.
The Wheel emailed Reyes to ask for the EA's budgets, and Reyes responded by stating that EA budgets are "not usually publicized as per the Finance Code." Reyes did not respond to a follow-up email from the Wheel inquiring as to what section of the SGA Finance Code prohibits the publication of EA budgets.

Born in Detroit, Michigan, and raised in Seattle, Washington, Martin Milner was a film and television actor best known for his roles in the popular TV series "Adam-12" (NBC 1968-1975) and "Route 66" (CBS 1960-64). Milner's parents, who both worked in the film industry, encouraged his acting ambitions from a young age. After relocating to Los Angeles when he was 14, Milner began taking acting lessons and made his film debut in the drama "Life With Father" (1947). After he graduated from high school, he appeared in such films as "Sands of Iwo Jima" (1949) and "Our Very Own" (1950), and in 1950 he landed a recurring role on the comedy series "The Stu Erwin Show" (ABC 1950-55) while also working on the radio serial "Dragnet." In 1952 he was drafted into the United States Army and he spent his time entertaining soldiers and directing military films. Upon leaving the Army, Milner landed roles in numerous films and TV series, including "Gunfight at the O.K. Corral" (1957) and the TV version of "Dragnet" (NBC 1951-59). In 1960 he landed a high-profile role in the series "Route 66," in which he and co-star George Maharis drove around the country in a Corvette, getting into adventures along the way. Milner next appeared in such TV series as "Felony Squad" (ABC 1966-69) and "Run For Your Life" (NBC 1965-68). In 1968 he was cast as Officer Pete Malloy in the police drama "Adam-12," a procedural produced by "Dragnet" creator Jack Webb. After leaving the show in 1975, Milner landed his final lead role as Karl Robinson in the family adventure series "Swiss Family Robinson" (ABC 1975-76). He also appeared in numerous TV guest roles until his retirement in the late 1990s. Martin Milner died at his home in Carlsbad, California on September 6, 2015. He was 83.

As the Ex-Im Bank's authorization expires at the end of September, crony capitalists on both sides of the aisle are clamoring for its reauthorization, including President Obama. The President addressed the reauthorization of Ex-Im in his weekly radio address this weekend saying, "If Congress fails to act, thousands of businesses, large and small, that sell their products abroad will take a completely unnecessary hit."
Of course, by this he really means small business Boeing, which receives the vast majority of taxpayer-backed loan guarantees from Ex-Im.
With pressure mounting from fiscal conservatives and even new House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy to end the program and since Congress literally has to do nothing to let Ex-Im expire, we may see it end, at least for now. A "Do-Nothing" Congress? Sounds like a dream come true.
Campaign for Liberty will continue to fight to end Ex-Im.

Toshiba Satellite U505 (U505-S2930) Review
By Mark Spoonauer
This 13-inch notebook delivers a striking design and good performance for a reasonable price.
Stylish dark brown design
Loud speakers
Helpful Eco utility
Small touchpad
Webcam video a bit dark
With a distinctive design and plenty of convenient features, the Toshiba Satellite U505 ($799 as configured) is easily one of the best-looking 13-inch notebooks for the money. In addition to robust specs--a 2.1-GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of RAM, and 320GB hard drive--Toshiba includes convenient features, including an Eco utility that helps you save battery life and monitor energy usage, and PC health monitor software to warn against potential problems. If you can live with a small touchpad, you'll enjoy this thin-and-light machine.
This is not your run-of-the-mill notebook chassis. Instead of opting for the typical glossy body, the U505 goes its own way with a unique Luxe brown textured finish on the lid and deck. (Other color options include white and pink.) Sure, it's plastic, but it feels and looks elegant compared to most other sub-$1,000 laptops. We also like the chrome accents around the keyboard, silver accents around the keyboard and lid, and the subtle backlit strip above the touchpad. The bezel of the display is a glossy black, but you won't have to whip out the polishing cloth much.
Measuring 12.5 x 9.1 x 1.5 inches and weighing 4.7 pounds, the U505 is a bit lighter but thicker than the 5-pound, 1.1-inch $999 MacBook and heavier and thicker than the $899Acer Aspire 3935(4.2 pounds, 1-inch thick). You won't want to take this machine everywhere, but it's certainly light enough for students to tote to class and move from room to room.
The U505 sports a flat keyboard whose layout leaves a good bit of room on either side of the deck. The result is that some of the keys (like the right Shift key) are slightly undersized. However, we liked the feel of the keys themselves, and that there was very little in the way of flex. Touch typists will have no problem getting acclimated to the U505.
We're not fans of the tiny touchpad on the U505, which measures 2.5 x 1.6 inches. In fact,Tosbiba's mini NB205netbook has a much larger touchpad (3.1 x 1.6 inches). Navigating the desktop was smooth, but we wish we had more room, especially since the touchpad is enabled for multi-touch gestures. Zooming in on a picture by spreading two fingers apart, for example, felt claustrophobic. On the plus side, we like the relatively large and solid touchpad buttons, and the lock button for when you want to use an external mouse.
Loud Touch-Sensitive Controls
Above the keyboard are the two speakers and a row of touch-sensitive buttons, including the Eco mode button, launch button for PowerCinema (similar to Media Center), and playback and volume controls. All of these buttons were responsive, but they emit a loud beep when pressed, which we found very annoying. The good news is that you can turn this beeping off by going into the HWSetup utility, although most users wouldn't know to do this.
Ports and Slots
The U505 stands out because its Sleep-and-Charge USB ports can charge your cell phone or other gear even when the system is powered down. Two USB ports line the left side of the notebook, one of which doubling as an eSATA port for blazing backups to external drives equipped with that port. A VGA port, HDMI port, ExpressCard slot, and mic and headphone jacks are also on the left side. The third USB port, Ethernet and modem jacks, the DVD burner, and Kensington lock slot line the right side of the U505. You'll find the memory card reader up front, along with a Wi-Fi on/off switch.
Display and Audio
The U505 features a bright and glossy 13-inch display with 1280 x 800 resolution, which means you can play 720p content. However, other 13-inch systems, such as the Acer Aspire 3935, provide even more pixels (1366 x 768). Like theL505we recently tested, the U505's drop-hinge LCD presented the clearest picture when we tilted it back a bit, and the panel kicked back distracting reflections. Otherwise, color saturation and detail were good when we streamed an episode of Mental from Hulu.com.
The two speakers above the keyboard provided plenty of volume while watching that Hulu episode and while playing a Green Day track in Slacker. We wouldn't max out the volume, however; the audio became somewhat distorted when playing music.
Webcam and Facial Recognition
It's hard to miss the webcam on the U505, which is set off from the rest of the lid with a mirrored surface, complete with the words "Web Camera" printed to the right of the lens. When we made a video call to a co-worker using Google Chat, he said we looked a little dark, which was surprising since we were sitting in an office with plenty of overhead light and ambient light from a nearby window. Sound quality was clear in both directions.
Toshiba has obviously been working on improving its facial recognition feature for logging in, because we were successful on our first attempt (even if it takes a couple minutes to set up). After logging out, we clicked Start Face Recognition and were up and running in 12 seconds.
Click to enlargeEquipped with a 2.1-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T6500 processor and 4GB of RAM, the U505 has plenty of oomph to run Windows Vista (as well as Windows 7, should you decide to upgrade this fall). In our PCMark Vantage test, which measures application performance, this machine turned in a score of 3,187, which is nearly 200 points above average for thin-and-light notebooks. This score is also slightly above what the $1,359 13-inchSony VAIO SRturned in (3,174), a much pricier 13-inch notebook that sports a slightly slower CPU but more robust ATI discrete graphics. If you want to add an ATI Mobility Radeon H4570 graphics card to the U505, you can do so if you configure it on toshibadirect.com, if you're willing to spend an extra $80.
To test U505's multimedia prowess, we used the notebook to transcode a 5:05 MPEG-4 clip to AVI using Handbrake. The system took 7 minutes and 25 seconds, which is only slightly slower than the category average (7:12). Another 13-inch notebook in the same price range, the Aspire 3935, took 7:56. Booting into Windows Vista took 55 seconds on the U505, which is 7 seconds faster than the category average.
Hard Drive Performance
The 320GB, 5,400-rpm hard drive inside the U505, made by Hitachi, is certainly among the fastest in its class. On our LAPTOP Transfer Test, in which we copy 4.97GB folder of mixed media from one folder to another on the hard drive, the U505 turned in a data rate of 21.7 MBps. That mark is slightly lower than the Lenovo IdeaPad Y450 (23.0 MBps) but still well above the category average of 19.3 MBps. Plus, Toshiba includes a hard drive impact sensor to protect your data in case your system takes a tumble, a feature normally reserved for business notebooks.
Graphics Performance
Given that the U505 features integrated Intel GMA 4500MHD graphics, we don't recommend this laptop for gamers. All you need to do is look at the poor 6 frames per second the system turned in when playing Far Cry 2. On the other hand, the U505's 3DMark06 score of 999 isn't too shabby. It's below the category average of 1,500 but higher than budget notebooks like theHP Pavilion dv4t(776) andIdeaPad Y450(774). It took about 13 seconds to fly to our Broadway address in New York City using Google Earth, and the animation was relatively smooth.
Battery Life and Wireless Performance
Using the standard six-cell battery, the U505 lasted 3.5 hours on the LAPTOP Battery Test, which simulates continuous Web surfing over Wi-Fi. That's a decent amount of endurance, but still below the 4:13 category average (the same runtime as the Aspire 3935). If you want more runtime, spring for the larger 12-cell battery, which costs an additional $84 if you configure your notebook on Toshiba's site. Toshiba claims this battery, which attaches to the bottom of the U505 and raises it about 1 inch, will supply 7.5 to 8 hours of battery life.
We're glad the U505 features Intel's WiFi Link 5100AGN wireless card, because this notebook delivers good data rates even from a distance. We saw 21.0 Mbps of throughput from 15 feet and a still very good 19.9 Mbps from 50 feet; these numbers are both above the respective category averages of 19.5 Mbps and 15.1 Mbps.
Eco Mode and PC Health Monitor
Click to enlargeThere are two highlights to Toshiba's software bundle: the Eco Utility and PC Health Monitor. You activate the former software by pressing the Eco button above the keyboard, which looks like a little Web globe icon with a stem attached. Within this software you can monitor your power consumption (measured in watts) in real time, as well as turn Eco mode on and off. When you turn Eco Mode on, you'll see that certain system properties get changed automatically, such as the display brightness level (from 8 for High Performance to 3), and when the display and hard disk get turned off (from 5 and 10 minutes, respectively, to 3 for each). Overall power consumption in High Performance mode averaged about 28 watts, versus 18 watts in Eco Mode.
The other noteworthy utility is PC Health Monitor, which can help you keep tabs on system functions such as power consumption, battery health, and system cooling. It also tells you the system temperature (we saw 38 percent of the max when unplugged), fan speed (58 percent in our tests), and the status of the hard disk drive sensor and hard drive itself.
Other Software and Warranty
Toshiba includes a vast array of its own software, some third-party software, and trial offers of Norton Internet Security 2009 (30 days) and Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007 (60 days). Third-party apps include Google Toolbar and Picasa, Corel DVD MovieFactory, and the WildTangent Orb Game Console for playing casual games. We could do without the "special offers" for Amazon.com shopping, NetZero, Skype, and Intuit QuickBooks, but they didn't hamper performance.
Toshiba backs the U505 with a one-year standard limited warranty and 24/7 toll-free tech support.
Configuration and Upgrade Options
The $799 U505-S2930 we tested is available from a handful of retailers, including Newegg.com and Wal-Mart. You can also either build your own U500 or choose from pre-built models. The high-end U505-S2940 ($949) configuration includes a more powerful 2.0-GHz Core 2 Duo P7350 processor (which has a slower clock speed but a faster 1066-MHz bus speed) and sleek edge-to-edge glass display.
If you want to configure your own U500, there are plenty of customization options. Adding the P7350 processor adds $114, or you can spend $195 on a 2.53-GHz Core 2 Duo P8700 processor. Adding discrete graphics, the ATI Mobility Radeon H4570 GPU, adds $80. You can also increase the hard drive size up to 400GB ($46) or 500GB ($80), get a more stylish slot-loading optical drive ($29) or pick up a 12-cell battery ($84). A three-year warranty costs $85.
Upgrading the U505 on your own is a cinch. A single panel on the back of the system with three small screws stands between you and the hard drive and memory slots.
The Toshiba Satellite U505 combines style with good performance for those on a budget. In this price range, we prefer the $899 Acer Aspire 3935, which delivers 40 minutes of extra battery life and a higher-res screen in a lighter 4.2-pound brushed metal design. Nevertheless, for $799, the U505 provides good power and portability, and Toshiba includes features that enhance the computing experience.

Hi everyone. I have tried to record "Black Mirror", but unfortunately Bandicam records it in very strange way - it looks like half the game and half the black screen. Tried to change resolution - doesn't work. Everyone here asks about purely black screen, but this problem is a bit different. Can you please help? Probably someone faced similar issue?
Have you tried recording in Windowed mode (does the game offer that option)? You can also try recording in different codecs in the recording settings.
We could reproduce the problem and have forwarded this issue to the development team.
It's an old DirectX 7 game and we're not sure we're able to solve this issue.
We will let you know when the development team fixes this issue.
Thank you! The problem is that other game recorders do not record Black Mirror either. I hope to find the solution here as there are couple of letsplays exist on Youtube and it seems to record this game is not impossible.


This week's Project Quilting challenge is to make a quilt out of charm squares. I had a pack of 5″ squares from moda called Spring House. I thought it'd make a cute baby quilt. So I started by cutting all of the pieces at the same spot. This was done in groups of five so my rotary cutter would go through the layers. I used a piece that was already cut as the template for where to cut the next sets. I mixed the fabrics up and sewed 'em back together then made a second cut. And again.
The chop and sew blocks became rows which alternated with the half-charm bricks. I was also working on a pansy-center log cabin quilt.
So what's with the name, "Lemonade Mode"? Making lemonade when life hands you lemons is all about problem solving. Even more than that, it's focusing on solutions rather than on problems.
I've been in lemonade mode recently and it's helped reduce my anxiety and increase productivity. While I deal with some health issues I'm feeling fatigued. Instead of overextending myself I'm prioritizing and getting more efficient. My husband and I take turns cooking and make sure to plan for leftovers. I save up errands and do them all at once. (No driving across town just to do it again tomorrow!) I multi-task when quilting. Chain-piecing is great for this. My appointments are in the afternoon when I have the most energy. I read and write at night.
What problems have you solved / can you solve by switching to lemonade mode?

Making lemonade has become a way of life for me also. You are so on point with the prioritizing! Thanks for sharing your process and it's a beautiful table runner! Great name!
Thanks! Sometimes naming a project brings up things you were already thinking about. I just didn't have a word for it yet. Or phrase, this time.

100 jobs to go to save £5m at University of Sussex
Posted On 24 Nov 2009 at 7:08 pm
By : Sue Pearson
The University of Sussex has announced plans to shed up to 100 staff in a bid to save £5 million.
Vice-Chancellor Professor Michael Farthing today blamed "tough times" for the cuts, which will be made to less popular departments.
The university has not yet disclosed which will be affected, but the News understands staff will be told tomorrow where the jobs are most likely to be lost.
However, it said today it will be investing in successful areas of the university, which include:
mathematical and physical sciences
media, film and music
Professor Farthing said: "We do not embark lightly on changes which result in posts being lost. No one wants to see their friends and colleagues lose their jobs. Where possible we will try to avoid compulsory redundancies. Staff affected by the changes will receive our support and help."
He added: "The University of Sussex has an international reputation and produces research of international excellence across the disciplines. We attract world-class academics and have seen our international student numbers rise by 45% since 2006. We are extremely proud of this."
"I am confident that the steps we are proposing will help safeguard our future as one of the UK's top research universities."
Consultations on the proposals are now taking place with campus trades unions and staff affected.
No decisions will be made until the consultation is completed in March next year, when the final plans will be presented to the university's council. No posts will end before July 2010.
The university currently employs 2,300 staff and its annual turnover is £160million.
In the last year, the number of overseas postgraduate students coming to study at the University of Sussex has grown by more than 50%.
It is also developing research in new areas, such as climate change, bio-medical engineering, medicinal chemistry and digital humanities.
The university's strategic plan, Making the Future, can be found here.

Athletics NZ: Oceania Athletics Championships (Day 1)
Author: Page Admin / Categories: News /
Josephine Reeves from Wellington claimed New Zealand's first gold of the 2019 Oceania Athletics Championships in Townsville on Tuesday, clearing 1.82m to win the women's U20 high jump and setting a new U20 Oceania Area Championship record. Josephine will also compete in the senior women's high jump on Friday.
In the senior men's 5000m it was New Zealand first and second, with Oli Chignell (Otago) claiming gold in a new PB and Oceania Area Champs record time of 14:07.17, while Matthew Baxter (Auckland) was close behind in 14:08.87. Also on the track, Libby Leikis (Wellington) took silver in the women's 100m Para.
Maddison-Lee Wesche (Auckland) crossed the 18 metre mark again in the senior women's shot put taking first place with a best throw of 18.04, another new Oceania Area Champs record. Cantabrian Victoria Owers was second with 16.26.
It was bronze for Kaia Tupu-South (Auckland) in the U18 women's discus with a new PB of 47.94, and for Ethan Walker (Otago) in the U18 men's javelin, who smashed his previous PB (50.54) with a throw of 58.46m. Nick Southgate (Auckland) also took home bronze in the senior men's pole vault, clearing 5.30m, along with Alex Wood (Waikato BOP) in the senior men's javelin with a best throw of 71.44m.
Portia Bing (Auckland) crossed in an easy second place in her senior women's 400m hurdles heat, with the final scheduled for Thursday. Cantabrians Mackenzie Keenan and Anna Percy also qualified for Thursday's final. In the senior men's 400m hurdles Michael Cochrane took a convincing first place in his heat and will line-up in the final on Thursday.
In the senior men's 800m heats Brad Mathas (Canterbury) and James Preston (Wellington) both qualified for the final. Brad needs to place first in Thursday's 800m to secure his conditional place in the New Zealand team for the 2019 Doha IAAF World Championships.
Edward Osei-Nketia (Auckland) made his New Zealand debut in the 100m heats, securing his place in today's senior men's 100m semi-final alongside Joseph Millar (Waikato BOP) and Hamish Gill (Auckland). Zoe Hobbs (Auckland), Georgia Hulls (Hawke's Bay / Gisborne), Brooke Somerfield (Waikato BOP) will also progress past the senior women' 100m heats, straight into the women's 100m final this afternoon.

Scouting Report: Dovar Tinling
Posted byBailey Johnson April 15, 2021 April 15, 2021 Posted inUncategorized
Photo Credit: UVM Athletics
There hasn't been a player as young as Dovar Tinling in college hockey since Jonathan Toews all the way back in the 2005-06 season. Toews didn't turn 18 until the end of April of his freshman year at North Dakota, and Tinling turned 18 in early March with just one game left in his freshman season at Vermont.
It wasn't until last June that rumors began to swirl that Tinling would accelerate and start with the Catamounts early, rather than joining Des Moines in the USHL which drafted him in the second round in 2019. In July, Vermont announced its incoming class, which included both Tinling and his older brother, Azzaro, and made Dovar the youngest player in college hockey.
The 2020-21 season turned out to be a tough year for the Catamounts, who won only one game. They paused team activities due to positive COVID-19 tests twice and only ended up playing 13 games as a result, finishing with a 1-10-2 record. It was a tough year for Tinling, too, as he put up just two points — a goal and a secondary assist — in 12 games while playing limited minutes in a bottom-six role.
D.O.B – March 3, 2003
Weight – 185 lbs.
Tinling's Style of Play
Let's start with a disclaimer: Vermont was bad, and Tinling averaged about 11 minutes of ice time per game. He was also the youngest player in college hockey and the youngest player on his team by over a year. The Catamounts had a first-year head coach in Todd Woodcroft and scored just 20 goals in 13 games — the fewest in all of college hockey.
All of that to say, it's more of a challenge to get a read on Tinling's true talent level given the situation around him — and given the small sample size of just 12 games. Regardless, some elements of Tinling's game, like his skating and his playmaking potential, pop when you watch him and paint the picture of an intriguing prospect.
Tinling describes himself as a pass-first player and says his hockey IQ is his best asset, both of which ring true after watching the games he played at Vermont.
Tinling can play both center and the wing, but he played wing in every game for the Catamounts this year. He probably projects as a winger moving forward, but it would be interesting to see him get a look at center in college to see if that's a possibility down the line.
Tinling's hockey sense stands out when he has the puck on his stick. The quality of his linemates didn't always allow his playmaking ability to be executed as well as you'd like, but it's hard to fault Tinling for that. Once again, the context around Tinling's season has to stay top of mind when evaluating his play.
It took Tinling some time to settle into the NCAA level, which is to be expected for such a young player. In his first few games, he looked tentative and uncertain, but as the season went along, you could see him grow in confidence. While not the most physical of players, as he got more settled in college hockey, Tinling regularly demonstrated a willingness to play the body and get involved in puck battles, despite not being the largest of players.
In February, he scored his first — and only — goal. The sequence highlighted all the good qualities of his game as he used his skating ability to cut through a lane in the neutral zone, get behind the defense and finish from distance. Though he's more of a playmaker than a shooter, the shot is good as is and could improve further with added strength.
At times, Tinling could look lost in the offensive zone and was a little all over the place positionally. It's hard to say if that's indicative of long-term concerns or more a reflection of a young player in a league that's a big step up from the CCHL, but the latter seems much more likely.
For such a young player making a massive step in league caliber, Tinling looked less out of place than I expected throughout the season and clearly gained confidence as the season went along. Hopefully in future seasons, the Catamounts will have stronger offensive talent across their lineup and Tinling will be able to really put his playmaking potential on display.
Much like in the offensive zone, Tinling's positioning in the defensive zone can be a little all over the place. He looked lost at times this year and, for lack of a better phrase, sometimes gave off the vibe of being unsure of what he was supposed to do. Tinling also displayed a tendency to cheat for offense, but on such a weak offensive team, any opportunities taken to try to produce a goal are hard to view too negatively.
In Vermont's system, Tinling was often responsible for pressuring the point — a job that he clearly committed himself to, sometimes to the point of overcommitting and taking himself out of the play. It happens often enough, though, that you start to wonder if it's just the system and what he's being asked to do and not a repeated flaw in Tinling's game.
His skating and instincts should allow him to be a capable defender as he settles into his role and gains strength. He probably won't develop into a Selke candidate, but all the pieces are there for him to be a competent defender that's functional in his own end.
Tinling is a fluid, efficient skater with a good burst of speed. He recovers well through his stride and his edgework allows him to be elusive. He regularly looked at least a step quicker, if not more, than others on the ice, even when Vermont played higher-end competition like Boston University. His skating enhances his playmaking with his ability to get into the soft areas of the ice and find lanes through the defense.
At times, Tinling's upper body can be a little busy, but it isn't a major flaw for an overall strong skater. In every game he played this year, Tinling's skating stood out as a real asset.
Allow me to use this space to say that the more I watched Tinling, the more I liked him. There's a talented player there, and I hope the dust settles at Vermont in a way that allows him to break out. Coming into a rebuilding program, with a first-year coach, as the youngest player in the league, in the middle of a pandemic, is such a dramatic confluence of challenging factors that if I had to bet on it, I'd say this year's performance from Tinling is a significant outlier from his true talent level.
Middle-six NHL winger, if everything breaks the right way.

Being one of the most adventures travel destination in India, Ladakh offers various rare wildlife experiences to those who want to explore true colors of Ladakh region. The most wondering thing about animals of Ladakh is there ecological adaption; they thrived at a highness where human can hardly survive.
While exploring wildlife of Ladakh you will be witness of massive range of flowers and wildlife. It also has some uncommon and rare species of faunas. The Ladakh region with an exclusive ecology gives a prospect of wildlife plus a photography enthusiast to catch some exceptional and striking wildlife species with a most beautiful background wall of the snowy mountains.
One more major attraction of Ladakh is 'Hemis national park'. It is one of largest national park in India with major attraction of snow leopard. Ideal time for spotting snow leopard is from Oct. to March. People also preferred to enjoy trekking in snow leopard.
The largest found animal of Ladakh is 'yak'. You can easily recognize it by its long black hair. Another magnificent wild found in eastern portion of Ladakh is 'Great Tibetan Sheep'; it is a largest sheep in the whole world. You can also find world's smallest sheep called 'Urial' or 'Shapu'. The region of Ladakh also supports and shelter around 310 types of birds however it is not beheld as a birding paradise.
Worldwide travellers find wildlife of Ladakh interesting for ecology and remote regions of rugged Ladakh.

Q: Var Troubles! D: So..I'm making an incremental game, which each structure will give you a certain amount of Cookies. Cursors give you two Cookies, and I want Rep to give you five cookies. However, both of them give two Cookies, and I dunno how to change that. Here's my snippet.
Also, how do I make it so my total cps is displayed? CPS being cookies per second. I have that included, but it doesn't work either.
var cookies = 0;

/ Dimensions Energy Gravity Science
Does Gravity Cause Spacetime Curvature?
Many people think space and time are curved. Spacetime has a curvature in the mathematical path of motion, which is easily explained, but gravity doesn't cause spacetime curvature. Einstein said the curvature only describes how particles move towards gravity.
Spacetime Curvature
The motion of particles toward a massive object follows a curved path according to Einstein's general relativity.
Einstein's theory describes the trajectory that particles follow as they accelerate to a massive object such as the Sun.
Minkowski spacetime is a geometric description of motion using Einstein's equations to describe the path of acceleration toward a force of gravity. The theory isn't a physical curvature of space; it's a mathematical description of the path of motion.
As a particle moves closer to the Sun, it moves faster and faster because of the acceleration force of gravity. The particle's path moves in a geometric curve caused by the power of gravity.
On Earth, when you drop something, it falls straight toward the center of the Earth, and Newton's law of gravity describes the acceleration.
If you throw a ball, it follows a geometric curve towards the center of Earth, but because the speed of the ball is slow, its curvature is still described by Newton's laws of gravity.
In space, particles move at relativistic speeds to the Sun, and Newton's laws don't account for the speed and effects of time dilation measurements.
Einstein imagined that light moving past the Sun must be experiencing time dilation, causing light to follow a curved path.
Then Minkowski described the effects as space and time curvature, but Einstein said it wasn't meant to be a physical curvature.
The mathematical description describes the path in space but not because of curved space.
How did we end up thinking that space is curved? If a mathematical description is treated as a physical thing, that's what happens.
I hope more scientists will think independently instead of believing what was taught.
A mathematical system can't prove its operation without referring to something outside itself.
What's the difference between General relativity and the Rubber sheet example?
The following descriptions explain the difference between general relativity and a rubber sheet.
A rubber sheet will curve when a heavy object rests on it because of the force of gravity. This is a visual description of the effect caused by gravity, not by the curvature of the sheet.
General relativity is a mathematical description of an object as it follows a curved path toward a force of gravity.
Relativity describes the path, but it's not a physical path in space.
So we have a visual and mathematical description of the effect of gravity to describe what we observe. But descriptions aren't actual physical things.
Rubber is a material that curves, but space isn't material. Neither model addresses the force nor the source of gravity.
When will we realize that mathematical descriptions of relativity are not physical things?
Gravitational fields do not cause spacetime curvature; space and time are massless invisible concepts used to describe the physical world we see.
If something causes spacetime to curve, show the force that causes it.
Spacetime is a geometric description of particles moving toward a massive force of gravity, such as the Sun.
Therefore, being a description of movement, it cannot be a fabric or a curvature of spacetime. Descriptions are not physical things.
Four years ago, Alexander Poltorak, a scientist on Quora, accurately described spacetime.
"Gravity is a physical phenomenon. The curvature of spacetime is an abstract mathematical concept. Some philosophers might argue that, whereas gravity exists in nature, spacetime curvature exists in our minds. Gravity is an intrinsic property of nature. The curvature of spacetime is a mathematical model." -- How can it be anything else?
Do Scientists Maintain Only the 3rd Dimension Exists?
The different meanings of dimensions may mislead you. Scientists only recognize the three spatial dimensions of direction and the temporal duration of time.
Science fiction books and movies use dimensions to mean other realms of existence, such as a parallel universe or 4th and 5th dimensions.
String theory suggests that up to 10 dimensions exist as small, curled-up things. Let me explain how to make sense of it.
Dimensions are descriptions and measurements of things, and there are only three spatial directions (up-down, left-right, and in-out) to describe matter.
In string theory, dimensions aren't different sizes because the strings exist as levels of energy, not as sizes of energy.
To describe matter, you can measure its mass, temperature, color, or energy. Matter can exist as plasma, gas, liquid, or solid.
Since matter comes in 4 different energy states, we could use energy to describe matter by its energy state.
A phase transition separates the energy levels of matter. Most of the matter in the universe is plasma, which is the energy state of stars.
If the universe has other energy-level dimensions or realms that are invisible to us, they would be in a different "energy state."
For example, water can be a solid or liquid, but a single molecule of water can't be both at the same moment. It's either liquid or solid.
The universe has energy states that are different than the 3rd dimension that we know. It's difficult to explain using words that don't exist in scientific language.
But scientists know that matter has four energy states, so maybe the Universe has more energy levels "states" instead of the single 3rd dimension.
What about Dark matter and energy that makes up most of the matter and energy in the Universe? Scientists can't find any of it in our 3rd dimension, so they should consider other possibilities.

L'Autotrader EchoPark Automotive 500 (anciennement dénommé AAA Texas 500) est une course automobile organisée par la NASCAR comptant pour le championnat des NASCAR Cup Series. Elle se déroule sur le circuit dénommé Texas Motor Speedway situé à Fort Worth dans l'État du Texas aux États-Unis.

La première édition s'est déroulée le . La course a toujours débuté en fin d'après-midi pour se terminer pendant la nuit, un peu comme au Coca-Cola 600 du mois de mai. Elle n'est cependant pas considérée comme une course nocturne. La course a lieu chaque année lors du premier weekend de novembre. Les propriétaires du circuit ont exprimé leur intérêt pour changer la date de la course car elle correspond également au week-end d'ouverture de la saison de chasse au cerf au Texas.

Le trophée remis au vainqueur de la course est en forme de bottes de cow-boy. Traditionnellement, le pilote gagnant porte un chapeau de cow-boy et tire quelques coups de feu en l'air sur la victory lane.

Jimmie Johnson et son écurie la Hendrick Motorsports possèdent les records du plus grand nombre de victoires (5) tandis qu'au niveau des manufacturiers, c'est Chevrolet qui en détient le record avec 7 victoires.

BA shut the roof door behind just loud enough for the other man to know someone was there, not trying to sneak up on him, and looked at him for a minute, letting his eyes adjust. It wasn't purely dark, of course, this was Chicago not some wilderness, but it was dark enough, no lights on the roof and the streetlights three stories below them. Slowly Face came into focus: arms braced on the parapet beside him, feet touching the wall instead of dangling, wind messing unnoticed with his hair, and tension in every line of him. BA stood there a moment longer, and then walked over towards the edge. Not right up to it, to lean over and look out, but close enough.
After a moment Face spoke. "Nice view," and he sounded dead serious. He probably was; he liked cities.
Which meant he didn't want to talk about whatever it was was bothering him. BA sighed silently. The lieutenant had never been an easy man, but it wasn't in BA to walk away and leave him. Never had been, back when he was a little butterbar (what's the most dangerous thing in the army? a second lieutenant with a clipboard) as green as those raggedy palm trees, and wasn't now even when they weren't, not really, lieutenant and sergeant. Second nature gets to be first after a long enough while. BA didn't move.
After a few minutes Face sighed; his was audible where BA was standing. He bowed his tawny head for a couple of seconds and then swung around, all one graceful motion, like one of those gymnasts, lifting his arm for his legs and finishing up sitting in the same position as before except now facing BA instead of the city. His face was still in shadow and BA wasn't sure of his expression, but after a moment he spoke. "That was a nice job, before, BA. With the bomb."
"You know if that bomb had gone off the whole buildin' would'a come down."
"I know it." Face sounded a little testy. "I wasn't worried." The silence lasted fifteen, maybe twenty seconds. "Much."
"I know that," BA said. Face's retreat to the doorway hadn't been fear; well, not cowardice, anyway. BA had known Murdock was standing right behind him, and he had felt Murdock's nervousness, felt him give way when they'd realized it was a guessing game: BA's wits against the bomber's. Murdock had backed away, and Face had moved after him, touching him, pushing him a little, positioning him in the angle of the doorway, as safe a place as you could get in the time, and holding him there. Of course Face had been scared, they all had been, even Hannibal, for all his grinning. BA had been sweating... "I know that," he said again. "But if the buildin' had come down, he wouldn't'a been safe anyplace you could'a put him."
The silence stretched out until Face shrugged and relaxed a little, his right hand drifting to rest on his stomach. "I know," he said.
But there wasn't anything to say, really.
But BA wasn't sure why Face was out here in the darkness, and that meant he was sure he shouldn't walk away and leave him. So he looked for something to say and finally settled on, "Mama was wonderin' where you got to."
Face's answer, when it came, was slantways. "I like your mother."
"She wants to adopt Murdock."
"She think he need lookin' after," BA answered what hadn't been said. Or at least what he thought was on Face's mind.
More silence. Face's hand made circles on his stomach while his eyes looked at something inside his head. "He's not taking his meds," he said finally.
So that was it. It wasn't that surprising, really. Murdock was so much better now than he had been; it hadn't been that long ago they wouldn't have dared bring him on a mission even though getting him out of the VA had often seemed to work wonders. Seven years, BA thought, seven years they had thought they'd never get him back. He and Hannibal, they'd hurt over it but they'd have accepted it if it weren't for Face. Face had never accepted it, not once he'd seen a glimpse of hope. Face was like that guy in that old story: he'd have fought Death to save Murdock, fighting Insanity didn't take a second thought. Even though his way of fighting it sometimes seemed more like participating to BA, he'd never given up. And nowadays Murdock was pretty functional, if still crazier than a Betsy-bug. Seemed to BA that Face ought to be feeling pretty good about that.
He said, after a moment, "He don't like takin' his meds, Faceman. He never did."
BA shrugged. "Fool's crazy, Face. What you want from him?"
"I want him to take his meds." Face's voice was sharp. "I want him to straighten up, damnit."
The words hung in the Chicago darkness.
BA was silent. The swearing was unusual. Even though Face had, in spite of his youth (or because of it) sworn like a sailor in 'Nam at first, he'd pretty much stopped after a while. Hannibal didn't like it, nor did BA, and somehow their unit just hadn't. Swearing shows a deficiency in imagination or vocabulary or both, Hannibal said, and, well, people just didn't want him thinking they were deficient. In anything. Not that BA's vocabulary was all that extensive. But it suited the image people wanted to have of him... The swearing was unusual. But the sharp-edged anger was more so. BA waited.
Face sighed. When he spoke again, he sounded calmer. "I want him to be normal. I want him take his meds and get well and be who he would have been if he weren't who he is and I know that doesn't make sense, all right, so don't tell me so."
"Wasn't gonna say that," BA said, shaking his head. "'Cause it do. Here."
Face turned to look at him, eyes wide-pupilled in the dark, whites a little wider too from surprise, or something. He took the bottle and looked down at it, and then back up at BA.
BA shrugged. He knew Face liked the brand; seemed expensive to him, but then again the lieutenant never had been a man who lost himself in his booze, so taste probably mattered. Besides, he always did go for the expensive brand of anything when he could. Sometimes, if it was a choice between cheap and nothing, he took nothing. It came, BA supposed, from growing up having nothing, and from defining himself by what he had instead of what he did... Sometimes, you just wanted to take him by the scruff of the neck and knock some sense into his good-looking head, that was for sure.
"Thanks," Face said finally. "I can use this." He reached into his pocket, pulled out the slender Swiss Army knife he'd carried for over a decade now—a black one, BA hadn't even known they came anything but red but since they did it was like Face to own a black one—and opened the bottle. BA put a glass down on the parapet next to him; it wasn't a wine glass, but just now, in this particular night, he doubted Face would care. He didn't: "Thanks," he said again, pouring the dark liquid into the glass. It was red, BA knew, but in the darkness it looked black, too: black as the knife, black as Face's mood.
"'Sallright," BA said. He took in a deep breath and leaned up against the parapet. "Thing is," he said after a minute spent watching Face drink, "he is who he is. Cain't be anybody else."
"He's somebody he isn't half the time," Face said.
BA thought about that. "He don't choose it," he said finally, thinking about the way Face, too, slid in and out of different people but seeing that the difference was that Face knew what he was doing, made the choice, and never really, deep down, believed in it.
"He does, though," Face said. "When he stops taking his meds he's choosing..."
BA heard that trail off and filled in the end of it for himself. He wasn't surprised that Face would see it as some kind of rejection, of normalcy or him or both. BA didn't like getting into other people's lives but Face wasn't other people, after all. "He choosin' to be himself when he do that," he said gently. "The meds, they make him someone he ain't. He don't like the meds, he never liked 'em. Make him feel like his mind is all wrapped up in something soft and sticky, like he's all slow and fightin' to think. After a while, he just rather be crazy again."
"That's crazy." Face seemed to hear himself and actually managed a slight chuckle. "I guess that's the point."
"Yeah," BA nodded. "It is. Fool is crazy, an' that who he is."
Face poured more wine, drank. After another long while he said, "I suppose so." He filled his glass again.
BA looked at him but didn't say anything. Face didn't lose himself in drink, but every now and then he gave it a try. He settled himself to wait until the lieutenant was done drinking; he'd carry him downstairs if need be. Mama didn't think Face needed looking after, like Murdock did, and that was Face's own fault. BA knew better. He always had.
