Q: How to store large amounts of game dialogue My game is very story driven. I have lots of dialogue driven by a choice-based narrative with many different dialogue options for every character. How would I go about storing all this text?
My game uses character profile images to express the feeling of the dialogue so I need to store it in such a way that I can access it and change the emote image next to the dialogue box for each character. I may end up with upwards of 5,000 - 10,000 words in dialogue. I know text isn't very large but I need to have a companion number (or word) with each dialogue sentence so that my dialogue class can change the character emote.
Would JSON be a good way to go about doing this?

A: You can store the texts in the localized.strings, and in the JSON return the keys to the dialogues, and in the future if you want to change any dialog or add more languages you just have to search the desired key and changed the value that it returns.
With this you will get clean JSONs and get all the texts in one file. Also, for a translator it is easier to understand.

coverings. But with so many different types to choose from, it's hard to know where to begin.
Picking the colour of your new carpet, and whether you want it to be patterned or plain, is just part of the decision process. While many carpets are suitable for use throughout the home, some have a more luxurious feel, perfect for areas of light foot traffic such as bedrooms.
Others are more hardwearing, making them ideal for areas of heavy foot traffic like hallways. Having lots of different carpets in one home isn't a good look, especially if they meet in the hallway or landing, so bear this in mind if you're replacing one carpet and not others.
The carpet's pile affects its appearance, feel and performance. As a general rule, the more luxurious the carpet is (ie the longer the pile), the more care it will need to keep it looking good. Choose from twist piles, which have a coarse, rugged finish; velvet piles, which have a smooth, luxurious finish; loop piles, which are similar to natural flooring, such as coir (avoid if you have pets, particularly cats, because of the damage their claws can do); and saxony piles, which have a sensuous feel, but aren't suitable for heavy foot traffic areas because they have a deep pile.
make it more affordable, or create a special effect. Wool carpet is warm and soft, with a luxurious feel. It wears well, is easy to maintain as it doesn't soil easily, and is naturally flame retardant, as well as being sustainable and environmentally friendly.
Nylon is often blended with wool in a carpet and is extremely hardwearing and easy to clean. Nylon also has great abrasion, stain and soil resistance and lends itself to multiple colours of carpet.
Similarly, polypropylene carpet is extremely hardwearing and easy to maintain - it's stain resistant and keeps its colour well. Polypropylene carpets can be very inexpensive, so they're a good choice if you're on a budget.
Just as it's important to have your new carpet professionally fitted (and measured), it's also essential to invest in new, good quality underlay, as it helps the carpet to sit properly and wear evenly. In addition, it increases heat and sound insulation and reduces pile compression, so the carpet looks good for longer - new underlay can actually increase the life of a carpet by 40%.

For the third year running, UK designers Speirs and Major Associates have been awarded the profession's top global award for lighting design.
The IALD Radiance award was given to the designers in recognition of their exterior lighting of the Grand Mosque of Abu Dhabi.
For Speirs and Major it marks the latest in a succession of wins.
In 2008 Speirs and Major first won the Radiance prize for their work on the Richard Rogers-designed Barajas International airport. In 2009, SaMA returned to win the prize again, this time in recognition of their work on the Foster and Partners-designed 3 More London.
It proved to be a busy night for the UK design firm, who besides winning the main Radiance Award, also picked up two further awards at the presentation held 13 May in Las Vegas, USA.
An Award of Excellence was given for the lighting of the Infinity Bridge in Stockton-on-Tees as well as for the exterior illumination of the Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan, Al Nahyan Mosque, Abu Dhabi, UAE. An Award of Merit was given for the Sands Bethworks Resort, Bethlehem, USA.
Now in its 27th year, the International Association of Lighting Designers (IALD) award programme recognizes excellence in architectural lighting design. The awards are regarded as the top accolades of the lighting design industry.
Lit by Speirs and Major, the distinctive footbridge over the River Tees has become a symbol of transformation for North East England. The brief called for an iconic structure as part of the Stockton-on-Tees regeneration of the North Shore site. The resulting footbridge links the north and south shores providing access to business and jobs in the area. Designed by Expedition Engineering, the slender bridge cuts a distinctive silhouette across the river. A 230m-long concrete walkway is supported by a pair of asymmetric steel arches that appear to skip across the river almost like a pebble skimming water. Speirs and Major designed the lighting in such a way that the iconic twin arches reflect in the water at night to form the mathematical symbol for infinity (∞).
Speirs and Major were invited to light this huge industrial complex as part of the renovated Sands Casino Resort in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The ancient blast furnaces, now carefully preserved and re-lit, were an important part of America's industrial heritage. The lighting concept tells the story of local steel production; carefully programmed LEDs illuminate the structures, with shades of red and blue used to express hot and cool processes. The furnaces appear to glow, intensifying in colour, before cooling off and returning to darkness for periods. In this way, light plays a strategic role in linking the site to its industrial past – preserving the integrity of the Bethlehem Steel edifices and celebrating their place in the American industrial revolution.

Chulym (Öс тили, Ös tili), também chamada Chulim, Chulym-Turcomano, Küerik, Chulym Tártaro ou Melets Tatar (não confunda-se com a língua tártara) é a língua dos Chulyms.

Nome
A palavra usada pelos Chulyms para se referirem a si próprios e a sua língua é Ös, literalmente 'próprio'. Também é falada pelos  Kacik (Kuarik). O nome se refere a uma tribo extinta.

Classificação
A língua é muito relacionada com as línguas Khakas e Shor. Embora haja linguístas que considerem as três como um único idioma, os falantes do Ös não concordam.

Falantes
Os falantes estão na Sibéria Central, Rússia, ao norte das montanhas Altai, bacia do rio Chulim, afluente do rio Ob. Todos falantes são bilingues em Russo. Ns tempos da União Soviética, os falantes da língua eram desencorajados ou punidos quando crianças se usassem a língua nas escolas, visando desvalorizar essa cultura.

Dialetos
Chulym, mesmo hoje quase extinta, apresenta dialetos que correspondem a localiozações ao longo do rio Chulim: Baixo Chulym (talvez extinta), Médio e Alto.

Português

Acordei de manhã antes do nascer do sol. Peguei minha arma e fui para o lago. Meu barco estava no lago. Sentei no meu barco e parti. Então eu olho: um alce está saindo da água. Pousei o barco na margem.

Extinção
Chulym é uma língua em extinção e deverá ter desaparecido em cerca de ¼ de século. Está listada nessa condiçãi pela UNESCO em seu chamado livro vermelho. Durante a filmagem do documentário norte-americano The Linguists de 2008, os linguístas Gregory Anderson e K. David Harrison entrevistaram 20 pessoas e fizeram várias gravações, estimando de 35 a 40 a quantidade de falantes dentro de uma comunidade de 426 chulyms étnicos. Entre os entrevistados, o mais jovem tinha 54 anos de idade.

Fonologia

Consoantes
A tabela a seguir lista as consoantes de Chulym, variações dialetais são marcadas: MC = dialeto Chulym médio, LC = dialeto Chulym inferior, K = subdialeto Küärik de LC. Nenhum dado estava disponível para os outros dialetos. A tabela foi derivada de Dul'zon and Pomorska.

/ q / é um alofone de / k / nas palavras de vogal posterior. / h / é encontrado apenas medialmente e, finalmente, é o resultado de espirantização secundária. O valor fonético de / v / é incerto, mas Dul'zon o lista como bilabial / β /. Dul'zon também inclui nasais / m̥ / surdas e líquidas surdas / r̥ / e / l̥ /, que não são encontrados na publicação mais recente de Pomorska.

Documentação
O fato de Chulym não ter uma tradição de língua indígena escrita tornou ainda mais difícil a língua à extinção resistir, até que K. David Harrison e Greg Anderson começassem a usar métodos científicos para documentar a língua. Os dois linguistas destacaram os esforços feitos para preservar a língua Chulym e registrar o que a perda da língua significava para a comunidade. Os dois viajam para Tegl'det, um pequeno vilarejo onde puderam encontrar três falantes de Chulym. Foi lá que eles conheceram Vasya, que era o mais jovem falante nativo de Chulym na época. O processo de documentação incluiu sentar-se em particular com os palestrantes e gravá-los durante a entrevista. Assim, em colaboração com Vasya e os outros dois falantes, os dois linguistas foram capazes de listar palavras em Chulym, como números, saudações, uma canção de fiar, aforismos e histórias de caça a ursos e alces. Eles também puderam coletar narrativas pessoais, conversas espontâneas, partes do corpo, cores, fauna, flora e termos de parentesco, além de instruções sobre como usar certas ferramentas, como esquis forrados de pele e canoas de madeira. Os dois linguistas costumavam sentar-se com os nativos e pedir-lhes que contassem em correspondência com os dedos, revelando como Chulym usa um sistema numérico de base 12 em vez de um sistema de base de 10. Eles também pediram aos nativos que interpretassem frases específicas, com a intenção de identificar quaisquer regras gramaticais Chulym. Com isso, os linguistas lutaram para contrabalançar as conotações e atitudes negativas em relação à língua Chulym..

História
Chulym já foi uma língua amplamente falada, mas sua história consiste em "múltiplas ondas de colonização e assimilação linguística, primeiro em turco, e agora em russo". Essa mudança se torna ainda mais evidente quando se estuda a estrutura da língua, que é distinguível de outras línguas turcas siberianas. Agora, Middle Chulym está em perigo devido à hostilidade russa que ocorreu em meados do século XX. Foi durante a década de 1940, quando Joseph Stalin estava no poder, que houve o estabelecimento de um programa chamado "a política da segunda língua materna". Isso incluiu o ato de arrebanhar crianças e mandá-las para internatos, onde aprenderam a língua do país e foram forçadas a não falar sua própria língua nativa. O programa rapidamente fez com que a comunidade abandonasse a língua Chulym. Logo, a linguagem passou a ser associada a conotações negativas e, assim, ganhou um status social inferior e baixo. De acordo com o filme,  The Linguists , um falante nativo de Chulym, Vasya, afirmou que "Chulym era visto como uma 'língua de sarjeta'" e que a língua não era mais passada para as crianças. Além disso, na década de 1970, a comunidade Chulym foi forçada a assentamentos de língua russa, onde tiveram que se adaptar e falar a língua russa para subir na escala social e ter maiores chances de prosperidade econômica. Logo, os falantes de Chulym estavam abandonando sua língua nativa; isso fez com que a comunidade perdesse um grande número de falantes e suas tradições linguísticas. Não apenas o povo Chulym foi forçado a abandonar sua língua, mas também o governo os retirou das estatísticas do censo como um grupo étnico distinto após 1959. Sob os olhos do governo, a população Chulym era vista como inexistente e insuficiente ganhar um lugar como uma unidade nacional diferente; não foi até 1999 que a comunidade recuperou seu status como uma entidade étnica separada. Assim, com a urbanização da Rússia e o domínio de sua língua nacional, as chances de sobrevivência de Chulym eram mínimas.

Geografia
A linguagem está intimamente relacionada com as línguas  Shor e  Khakas. Embora todos estes sejam considerados por alguns como idiomas, os próprios falantes de  Ös  não acreditam que seja esse o caso.

Chulym compreende dois dialetos distintos com múltiplos sub-dialetos, correspondendo a locais ao longo do  Rio Chulym. O  etnônimo nativo  é dado em itálico.
 Baixo Chulym (agora considerada extinto)
 Küärik,  küärik jon  (Koryukovskaya volost)
 Ketsik (Kurchikova volost)
 Yezhi,  je: ži jon  (Baygul'skaya volost)
 Yatsi,  jatsi jon  (Yachinskaya volost)
 Chibi,  tš'ibi d'on  (Kyzyldeyeva volost)
 Médio Chulym
 Tutal,  tutaɫ tš'onu  (Tutal'skaya volost, Distrito de Teguldetsky, Oblast de Tomsk)
 Melet,  pilet tš'onu  (Meletskaya volost, Distrito de Tyukhtetsky, Krasnoyarsk Krai)
O "dialeto Chulym superior" identificado por Harrison & Anderson é na verdade o subdialeto de Melet do Chulym Médio. A língua chulym-turca é um termo geográfico, e não linguístico. Em sua perspectiva diacrônica, compreendia um continuum (sub) dialetal com os dialetos vizinhos (sub) mostrando apenas uma ligeira diferenciação, enquanto aqueles nos extremos ou na periferia da área eram mutuamente ininteligíveis.

Morfologia e sintaxe

Pronomes

Aspecto léxico
Como muitas outras línguas turcomanas, Chulym expressa os aspectos léxicos por meio de verbo auxiliar] s. As construções polvierbais com características acionáveis podem expressar "estado" (S), "processo" (P), "entrando em um estado" (ES), "entrando em um processo" (EP) e "processo multiplicativo" (MP). Isso é reconhecido como universal nas línguas turcas. S, P, ES e EP refletem ações episódicas, enquanto MP são habituais. ES e EP parecem ocorrer apenas no aspecto perfectivo, enquanto os outros ocorrem em perfectivo e mperfeito]].

<! - Alguns deles são mais comuns do que outros, talvez seja uma boa ideia mostrar isso de alguma forma, a informação está em Lemskaya (2012) ->=== Sintaxe ===
Chulym usa a ordem de palavras  sujeito - objeto – verbo (SOB) e pós-posições, assim como muitas das línguas turcomenas e tártaras.

Vocabulário
À medida que seus falantes vêm perdendo o conhecimento de seu idioma por causa do processo de desvalorização do mesmo, o Chulym pegou emprestado uma grande quantidade de palavras da  russo nos últimos anos. Mais comumente, interjeições e marcadores de discurso são emprestados do russo, além de conceitos que não têm palavras Chulym correspondentes.

More Apartments and Community Center Planned at Waterfront Station
(This post is a portion of an article that appears in the May 2018 Hill Rag)
Waterfront Station and before it the Waterside Mall has served as the Town Center for the Southwest Waterfront neighborhood for decades. It contains the neighborhood's only grocery store, as well as a pharmacy, restaurants, and professional services, including a dentist office. Two office buildings fully occupied by District government agencies and three rental apartment buildings are currently in place and a future phase with more rental apartments, retail, daycare center, and a black box theater is planned on the northeast parcel. Two other parcels have yet to be developed, which flank 4th Street and are located adjacent to the Waterfront Metro station entrance.
The original stage one Planned Unit Development (PUD) approval for these two sites at 4th and M streets was for office, but developer Forest City has requested a change to residential. Its reason for the change in use is due to unfavorable conditions in the office market. The state of the office market has changed significantly since the Waterfront Station development was originally conceived in the aughts. Previously, the development was intended to be primarily office, with less retail and minimal residential. Prior to the Great Recession, Fannie Mae was going to move its headquarters to Waterfront Station, but they pulled out in the wake of financial troubles at the quasi-government agency. Over time, the plan for Waterfront Station has evolved in favor of more residential and retail and less office.
Rendering of planned 375 M Street building
In its current proposal, Forest City plans to develop a 285-unit rental apartment building on the east parcel (375 M Street) with 18,830 square feet of ground floor retail along M Street and the Metro plaza, 32,400 square feet of commercial space intended for professional services tenants on the second floor, and a 6,000 square-foot community center on the first and second floors. This would be the third community center located in Southwest, joining the Randall Recreation Center and King-Greenleaf Recreation Center, but it would be the only one without adjacent recreation fields. The community center was proffered by the developer to win approval from ANC 6D, which was originally lukewarm to the idea of changing uses at the two remaining parcels at Waterfront Station from office to residential. As a part of the PUD, the developer has offered the community center rent-free for a period of 30 years and will contribute up to $565,000 for interior design and fit-out, furniture, fixtures, equipment, and initial start-up costs.
On the west parcel (425 M Street), the plan is to develop a 310-unit rental apartment building with 21,203 square feet of ground floor retail along 4th and M streets. The main residential entrance will be located at the northeast corner of the building. In both buildings, 8% of the floor area will be reserved for residents earning up to 60% of Area Median Income (AMI) and of that total, five units will be 3BR apartments. Under this proposal, the east parcel will be developed first, allowing for the west parcel to remain open space until the completion of the 325 M Street building. Part of the west parcel will house a trailer that will be the interim Southwest Branch library while a new library is built in its current location at 900 Wesley Place.
For its part, the ANC has offered conditional support for the PUD. Portions of the PUD that the ANC supports include the community center, as well as the redesign of the project which provides less density and more setbacks than the original office design, a retail strategy, and traffic plan. However, one of the concerns brought by Commissioner Roger Moffatt, whose single-member district includes the 375 M Street site, was the ability for mom and pop retailers to occupy smaller spaces at the proposed development. It has proven to be difficult to get smaller retailers into the previous phases of the development since the buildings would not allow a tenant who needed less than 1,200 square feet to occupy space. While the U.S. Postal Service is not a "mom and pop" retailer, it was used as an example of a tenant that was unable to relocate to Waterfront Station because its need for a 900 square-foot space could not be accommodated. Other outstanding issues brought by ANC Vice Chair Andy Litsky include the selection of the community center operator and clarification on the "free rent" provision to include HVAC and electricity; improvements to public space at the Metro plaza; a traffic plan for the 4th and M streets intersection; placement of the Metrobus and Circulator bus stop along M Street; and other logistical concerns.
The Zoning Commission will continue the hearing on May 10th and a final decision on the proposed development is expected in the coming months.

Bluebik stands ready to provide end-to-end consultancy as Thai organizations are going full steam to be in line with the PDPA
#Others#Big Data#Business Trends#PDPA
Bluebik revealed that the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) is coming to disrupt the data analytics world as data, the "heart" of today's competition, will be subject to more complicated processes and become increasingly sensitive. Hence, local businesses are expeditiously planning and preparing themselves to get ready. Bluebik suggested that the quicker businesses can embrace changes, the faster they can make progress without losing business opportunities. Bluebik has come at the right time to help businesses adjust themselves to the new rules. At the upstream stage, business potential and readiness are assessed; at the midstream stage, work plans are formulated to ensure alignment with the new act; and at the downstream stage, projects to support the new act are managed.
Mr. Pochara Arayakarnkul, CEO of Bluebik Group disclosed that the Personal Data Protection Act B.E. 2562 (A.D.2019), which will come into effect on 28 May 2020, will be a game changer and a key factor that affects the data analytics process ranging from data collection step through data utilization step. Data is considered as an asset of an organization which can be used to develop insights about its own businesses and customers for further development of products and services to meet customer needs. Personal data is considered as the "heart" of big data analytics; as it can be used for identifying common data links, market trends and customer wants, as well as other useful information for the business. Once the Act becomes effective, organizations must start collecting and using personal data in a proper and strict manner.
Mr. Pochara Arayakarnkul, CEO of Bluebik Group
However, businesses preparing for the adoption of the PDPA must study and understand the following 4 key principles:
Requesting the data owner's consent: Collecting data, using it, or disclosing it to others must receive prior consent in writing and must not exceed the requested scope of consent.
Notifying the data owner of content usage objectives: The notification must be clear and easy to understand. The period of data collection must be clearly specified.
Data security: Data security must meet standards.
The data owner's right: Access rights must be specified. Thus, organizations are required to set up a system that accommodates the data owner's right.
For example, if the data owner wants an organization to delete his/her personal data from the system, the organization has to delete such data from the "whole system." This poses a problem for a business, especially if data is stored by individual business units on a solo basis and so data cannot be deleted from the whole system. It is also well noted that the new Act stipulates definitions and roles of people involved in the handling of data such as data controller, data processor, data protection officer, etc. Therefore, many organizations are looking for experts to assist in devising effective plans. Such organizations view that moving quickly to adapt themselves to the new Act will enable them to compete in the industry without missing business opportunities.
In getting revved up for the PDPA, we could consider some preparation guidelines for businesses and propose supporting measures for them to comply with the new regulations of the PDPA through the following 3 stages:
At the upstream stage: Organizations should assess their capacity and the readiness of internal systems such as IT infrastructure in order to identify gaps to be filled so as to accommodate the compliance with the new Act. Work processes should be assessed, including a step of requesting consent from the data owner through a step of collecting and managing data. Moreover, there should be a plan as on how to store data in the future.
At the midstream stage: Organizations should devise a plan on data governance covering data classification, determination of data protection measures, and planning and selecting data protection tools such as data masking and data encryption tools. In addition, there should be a plan on developing an IT system that is in line with the new Act.
At the downstream stage: Organizations should set up an ad hoc working group to take care of planning and management to ensure proper and efficient implementation of the new law. This working group should consist of suitable representatives from relevant functions to ensure that data management is aligned with the new Act and meets organizational strategic goals.
Businesses must be ready to embrace and handle the PDPA. They must conduct assessments on organizational policies, work processes, and technologies to see the extent of the compliance with the new Act. This allows them to identify areas for improvement to ensure conformity with the provisions of the law. Violating the law could subject an organization to legal actions and jeopardize its brand image and trustworthiness.

Leila Al Ali is a Palestinian feminist and political activist since 1982. She is a promoter of Palestinian national and human rights with a particular focus on women. She was the vice- President of the General Union of Palestinian Students in Lebanon (1990-2004). She has been the executive director of Association Najdeh since 2004 and also became its vice- president in 2008. Najdah is a development NGO that works with women and children in refugee camps and gathering in Lebanon.


Alex Denton, Interstate Supply sales representative, said Winthrop University also uses the products and York Technical College is in the process of switching over its janitorial supplies.
Another benefit is the softer smell that accompanies the new products, which benefits students, teachers and custodians who frequently inhale the fumes.
"It has a softer smell for the workers and occupants of the building," he said. "It also benefits the environment, because of its lower toxicity."
Phillip Taylor, custodial manager for Clover School District, agreed.
"In green products, they eliminate a lot of the smells," Taylor said. "I have worked with green products in the past, and really liked them. They have really pleasant smells."
Taylor said initial use of the cleaner was positive, but it will not be clear if the products clean better than previous products until the school year ends.

Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao
Could the "Fight of the Century" not even happen!
It's hard to believe the fight dubbed the new "Fight of the Century" between Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao on Sunday 3rd May at the MGM Grand is less than two weeks away and astonishingly there are no tickets on sale to the general public and the contracts are STILL unsigned from both parties.
According to Top Rank promoter Bob Arum he is not signing the contract as terms are not what he agreed with Mayweather Promotions when the terms sheet was signed a couple of months ago. In the terms sheet Top Rank and Wayweather promotions would jointly own and promote the event, but it also names Mayweather Promotions the sole negotiator of the deal with MGM. Without the contracts signed no tickets can go on sale leaving MGM with the almost impossible task of selling the ridiculously priced tickets in 10 days, where they would normally have around 2-3months.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROhZoljOhgo
Not since Not since Lennox Lewis bowed out in sensational style beating Vitali Klitschko has the world eagerly anticipated such a fight. But the biggest fight in almost a decade wouldn't be without its controversies, and the boxing world needed this fight to happen as viewings have taken a beating with most of the big name boxers retiring, there's seems to be less appetite for the sport by the general public than in the hayday of "The Rumble in the Jungle" and "Thriller in Manila".
Its almost certain that the contract terms will be finally agreed and signed and all the tickets available will be sold in the last minute, and we can get down to what is important which is to see the two best pound for pound boxers in a generation will finally meet in the ring to contest who is greatest, if the promo is anything to go by it should be some spectical.
Its too close to call who's going to win this fight, but if you fancy hedging your bet and getting it in early Sky Bet have a get Price Boost on Mayweather to win in Rounds 10-12 from 16/1 to 25/1!! Click the banner below:

Flips and somersaults- this is what Ashish Kumar's life is all about. In this new edition of "Indian Heroes", Sports Rediscovered brings to you the story of India's first ever medal winner in gymnastics, a sport still in its nascent stages in India.
Born in Allahabad, Ashish Kumar forayed into gymnastics at a young age. With 20 international medals to his name, the 25-year-old took the sporting world by storm with his incredible performance at the Delhi Commonwealth Games, thereby getting his name inducted into the annals of India's sporting history. Ashish also took a hat-trick at the Senior National Gymnastics championship, winning the All Round Individual Championship in the 48th (Trivandrum, 2008), 49th(Warangal, 2009) and 50th(Erode, 2010) editions. In the South Central Asian Gymnastics Championship, Dhaka, Ashish was adjudged the best male gymnast of the event, claiming four individual gold medals (all-round, floor, vault and hi-bar events) along with a bronze (individual) and a silver (team) medal.
The 2010 Commonwealth Games held in New Delhi saw India take major strides in a sport that doesn't build a tightly-packed arena in the country. Then 19-years-old, Kumar bagged a Bronze in the men's floor exercise, bringing home India's first ever medal in gymnastics. He later went on to win silver in the men's vault event.
The Gymnastics Federation's step motherly treatment of the players, and apparent indifference towards the phenomenal feat was blatantly made clear when the officials of the GFI passed snide remarks at Kumar's chief coach Vladimir Chertokov, asking him, "Is this all that you can deliver, a bronze?" What the high end officials forgot, or chose to ignore, was that the 'not-so-glittery' medal was won with just an year's training, on hard floor and equipments over 20 years old (as said by Chertokov after the win). In the end, it is not the colour of the medal, but rather the effort that has gone into it that counts. What was more appalling, was the GFI's decision to not send a team for the World Championships in Rotterdam, which was qualifying ground for the 2012 Summer Olympics, citing the low number of players participating (despite countries like Armenia sending just one player).
This selective amnesia, our obsession with the bat and ball, have eclipsed the 'less fortunate' games. New territories, however, has found more takers, thanks to people like Ashish Kumar and Dipa Karmakar.
Later on, in the 2010 Asian Games held at Guangzhou, China, he took bronze in floor exercise with a score of 14.925. In the Individual all-around event, Ashish finished 23rd, with a score of 64.750. The only other Indian with a promising result was Dipa Karmarkar, who was placed 8th in the vault event.
The 2014 Commonwealth Games did not prove to be a very productive year for the Allahabadi lad, as he came last in the men's vault events, with the lowest score (average) of 7.166. After a good show in his first attempt (with a score of 14.333), Kumar faltered in the second go, that resulted in him finishing in the eighth position. In another average performance, he could manage just the sixth position in the men's floor finals.
However, the tables turned in the International Commonwealth Championships held in Perth, Australia. Ashish took gold in the men's floor exercise and vault events,which was then followed up by two silver medals in all around men's artistic gymnastics and parallel bars.
While the attitude of the sports authorities, combined with a lack of funds and foreign exposure and failure to work on the historic win, has severely hampered chances of popularising the sport in India, one can only hope that someone or the other becomes enamored with the graceful movements and supple symmetries of gymnastics and decides to walk the extra mile and give to us more athletes like Ashish Kumar.


Nokia 8 Review – After a brief hiatus, Nokia has returned to the world of smartphones. So far, however, its planned resurgence hasn't gone off with a bang so much as a faint whimper, and the phones we've been treated to – for lack of a better word – have failed to recapture the firm's past glories. Now that the firm's first proper flagship phone, the Nokia 8, has finally landed, the question is whether this is the handset that can turn the company's fortunes around. Going by what I've seen so far, the answer may well be yes.
Nokia has already launched a handful of phones this year, but the Nokia 8 is its premium flagship handset. Equipped with a 5.3in, 2,560 x 1,440 display, 4GB of RAM and the latest Snapdragon 835 processor, this is a top-tier handset, with a suitably high price point. Expect stock Android Nougat right out of the box, with Android O making an appearance sometime in the near future.
At £600, the Nokia 8's price is very much what you'd expect from a flagship device. You might think it a little steep – especially considering that the Nokia 6, one step down, costs just £200. But don't let that fool you: the Nokia 8 is a flagship in every respect, and you're getting a top-tier phone with your hard-earned cash.
At this price, though, the Nokia 8 faces stiff competition. There's the Samsung Galaxy S8 to contend with – which has just dropped below £600 – and the Google Pixel range starts at £600, too. If you're willing to forgo Android, there's also the iPhone 7 family to consider, which works its way up from a starting price of £600.
The first thing you'll spot is the 5.3in, 2,560 x 1,440 display on the front. That resolution amounts to a pixel-perfect density of 554ppi, and Nokia has wisely opted to protect it with a sheet of Gorilla Glass 5. It's a tad disappointing to note that the Nokia 8 lacks the snazzy edge-to-edge displays of the Galaxy S8 and LG G6, but it's a decent screen nonetheless. It's bright and clear, and exactly what we'd expect to find on a flagship phone.
So bright in fact, that the Nokia 8 is positively dazzling. A max brightness of 663cd/m2 is more than suitable for even the brightest Summer days, and you'll never have to squint at your phone again. Mark my words.
As for colour accuracy, the Nokia 8 perfectly poised in that department, too. An sRGB colour gamut coverage of 98.5%, as measured by our X-Rite colour calibrator, rivals even the likes of Samsung's AMOLED displays, and an average Delta E of 3.28 points at a display that's well worth your time. Given this is a 2K display too, you'll be perfectly suited for watching Netflix shows on the go.
Nokia has really pushed the boat out when it comes to design, though. While its other handsets have failed to inspire, Nokia has drawn on the design cues of the iconic Lumia handsets to create something pretty special. The 8 is wonderfully slim, measuring a dainty 7.3mm thick, and as it's crafted from just a single block of aluminium, it both looks and feels like an absolute stunner.
Everyone loves a nicely chamfered edge, and these are quite plainly some of the finest chamfers you'll encounter on a smartphone. It doesn't just look good, though: the curved sides ensure that the handset sits snugly in the hand, and make it easy to use the fingerprint reader without adjusting your grip or shuffling the phone about in your palm.
It's the camera which really sets the 8 apart from the crowd. Out back, you'll find a Zeiss-branded dual-camera setup, with one being a monochrome f/2.0 13-megapixel sensor, and the other incorporating a 13-megapixel bog-standard RGB sensor. The two work in tandem, with the monochrome sensor capturing detail and the RGB sensor capturing colour. This is a technique used by several other recent flagships from rival manufacturers, but the end result is an image with oodles of detail and bright, punchy colours.
One particularly intriguing new feature is what Nokia is calling a "bothie": the ability to take pictures with both the front and rear cameras simultaneously. Press the shutter button and both shots are squeezed into a single frame, with a snap of your reaction on one side, and the view you're gawking at on the other. It's a neat little addition, and a feature that is perfectly suited for Facebook and YouTube live streams.
The Nokia 8 has the kind of horsepower you'd expect for a modern flagship. There's Qualcomm's latest octa-core processor on board – the Snapdragon 835 – and this is partnered with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage (expandable up to 256GB via microSD). That's a reliable recipe for high-end performance, no question about it.
And the figures show. Running Geekbench 4, the Nokia 8 reached 1,930 in the single core test, and a blisteringly quick 6,540 in multi-core. Stacking it up against 2017's other big-hitters, this result puts the Nokia 8 firmly among them, with near-identical scores to the Galaxy S8, Xperia XZ Premium and iPhone7.
As for gaming performance, it isn't quite the same story. An average 35fps in the GFXBench Manhattan 3.0 on-screen test is by no means abysmal, but when put side-by-side with other Snapdragon 835-equipped handsets, the Nokia 8 starts to fall a little flat. The culprit? Its 2K display, for certain. Take a look at the chart below, and you'll see what I mean.
Nokia also talked up the Nokia 8's "advanced heat management solution" at its launch. In short, a liquid-cooled copper pipe runs across the length of the Nokia 8, with graphite shielding dispersing heat from the Snapdragon chipset throughout the metal shell. This all sounds very impressive, and Nokia says it's the perfect way to keep heat levels to a minimum, and thus – potentially – extend battery life.
In fact, battery life is the 8's raison d'être. The fancy thermal tech inside seems to have done its job, with the Nokia 8 reaching a total of 18hrs 46mins on a single charge during our continuous video playback test with the screen set to our standard 170cd/m2 brightness. For comparison sake, the Nokia 8's 3,050mAh battery is longer-lasting than the Galaxy S8, XZ Premium and iPhone 7, but falters when put head-to-head with the OnePlus 5.
It certainly helps that Nokia has opted to build a more traditional flagship rather than pushing niche, high-end features – case in point, it isn't asking for absurd amounts of cash like Asus with its £800 Zenfone AR. Granted, the Nokia 8 might not be as flamboyant as key rivals such as Samsung's stunning Galaxy S8, but with bang up-to-date internals, a lengthy battery life, and a design that befits its asking price, the Nokia 8 is a confident stride in the right direction.
Thank for your visiting on this page Nokia 8 review: Nokia's top-tier flagship is the comeback the firm desperately needed, We hope this post can be a good reference for you and provide useful information for you :-).

Improved identification of clouds and ice/snow covered surfaces in SCIAMACHY observations

Abstract. In the ultra-violet, visible and near infra-red wavelength range the presence of clouds can strongly affect the satellite-based passive remote sensing observation of constituents in the troposphere, because clouds effectively shield the lower part of the atmosphere. Therefore, cloud detection algorithms are of crucial importance in satellite remote sensing. However, the detection of clouds over snow/ice surfaces is particularly difficult in the visible wavelengths as both clouds an snow/ice are both white and highly reflective. The SCIAMACHY Polarisation Measurement Devices (PMD) Identification of Clouds and Ice/snow method (SPICI) uses the SCIAMACHY measurements in the wavelength range between 450 nm and 1.6 μm to make a distinction between clouds and ice/snow covered surfaces, specifically developed to identify cloud-free SCIAMACHY observations. For this purpose the on-board SCIAMACHY PMDs are used because they provide higher spatial resolution compared to the main spectrometer measurements. In this paper we expand on the original SPICI algorithm (Krijger et al., 2005a) to also adequately detect clouds over snow-covered forests which is inherently difficult because of the similar spectral characteristics. Furthermore the SCIAMACHY measurements suffer from degradation with time. This must be corrected for adequate performance of SPICI over the full SCIAMACHY time range. Such a correction is described here. Finally the performance of the new SPICI algorithm is compared with various other datasets, such as from FRESCO, MICROS and AATSR, focusing on the algorithm improvements.

What is the National Diabetes Inpatient Audit?
The National Diabetes Inpatient Audit (NaDIA) is a snapshot audit of diabetes inpatient care in England and Wales.
A new continuous collection around key harms launched on 1 May 2018. Visit the NaDIA-Harms page to see details and documents.
Following the Quality Improvement Collaborative work and commencement of the NaDIA-Harms collection in 2018, 2019 will be returning to the normal format - There will be two paper questionnaires and an electronic survey, as well as the continual collection of harms by the NaDIA-Harms collection.
Please put the week of 23rd to 27th September in your diaries for carrying out the NaDIA bedside questionnaires.
Your feedback helps us to keep the audit relevant and identifies issues with both the questions and the audit, meaning we can work to improve them. If you have any further comments about the audit, you can email us at nadia@nhs.net.
We have summarised feedback received in the audit over the last couple of years into a useful document 'NaDIA 2015-16 - Your Feedback', which is available on this page under 'Quality Improvement'.
The National Diabetes Inpatient Audit (NaDIA) is an annual snapshot audit of diabetes inpatient care in England and Wales and is open to participation from hospitals with medical and surgical units. NaDIA allows hospitals to benchmark hospital diabetes care and to prioritise improvements in service provision that will make a real difference to patients' experiences and outcomes.
We encourage as many hospitals as possible to take part in the audit, which helps to drive improvements in the care of in-patients with diabetes in England and Wales.
• Did diabetes management minimise the risk of avoidable complications?
• Did harm result from the inpatient stay?
• Was patient experience of the inpatient stay favourable?
• Has the quality of care and patient feedback changed since the previous audit years?
The National Diabetes Inpatient Audit (NaDIA) is commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP) as part of the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme (NCAPOP), and delivered by NHS Digital, working with Diabetes UK.
The audit is open to participation from England and Wales hospitals only and takes place every year.
Each participating hospital will also be required to complete a Hospital Characteristics form electronically to provide information on resources and the staffing structure to assist in the provision of the audit findings.

The Headquarters at Seaport is a solid place to shop and eat but, if you're a San Diego history buff, you may want to pop into a free mini-museum located at its core, between the Kitson and Madison San Diego stores. There, you'll find a fully-restored, 8-cell jail block housing historic photos and San Diego Police Department memorabilia. You see, The Headquarters – built in 1939 – sits in the very complex that served for many decades as the SDPD's headquarters. The site is listed on The National Register of Historic Places. It was restored and reopened as The Headquarters and Seaport shopping and dining complex in 2013. Read all about the site's rich history here.

We planned this walking tour with the help of British friends, colleagues, and the internet, and believe it is an awesome way to see some of the highlights of the city. We began at Victoria Station, which is the terminus of the Gatwick Express, straight out of the airport. Our flight was unfortunately delayed by several hours on our way to London so we started the itinerary on one day, jumped on the tube and went to our Airbnb to sleep, and started the next day at the same tube stop to continue our tour. We also didn't go inside several of the historic buildings because we had limited time. The beauty of planning an itinerary like this is that it is entirely self-paced (and free). If you wanted to use this route, you could break it up into as many segments as you like and take as long as you want for each stop.
Parts 1 and 2 of our walking tour of London. Part 3 will require a tube ride and separate map. For a live map of this leg of the trip, click here.
Buckingham Palace is the Queen's weekday home, which she refers to as her office. Her back yard consists of heavily guarded gardens with barbed wire and electric fences reminiscent of Jurassic park. Her front yard is basically London.
The history of Westminster Abbey dates back to 960 AD and the construction of the building you see here began in 1245 AD. It is the site of royal coronations, weddings, burials and memorials.
The attention to detail on every surface of this building was overwhelming. Josh was especially taken with the wood and metal, highly ornate door.
This was my favorite shot of the church. The Abbey charges for admission and sees over 1,000,000 visitors a year, with peak season being the summer. Note the lack of crowds in January.
Parliament Square is gorgeous. In addition to typical government buildings, it is full of giant statues of important historical British figures including Winston Churchill, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, and Abraham Lincoln. Wait… what? Well, they're all there anyway. It would also be the best view of Big Ben, were it not under scaffolding for restoration at the time we visited.
The presence of both Mahatma Gandhi and Winston Churchill on the same square was striking, considering that their views on Indian independence vehemently opposed one another. According to Wikipedia, Churchill famously once called Gandhi "a seditious Middle Temple lawyer, now posing as a fakir of a type well known in the East, striding half-naked up the steps of the Vice-regal palace". He stands here next to Nelson Mandela, (not pictured).
If you're feeling famished or fancy a pint, consider stopping in at the Red Lion or Fuller's Pie and Ale House, right off Parliament Square. It was the most expensive food we ate in the UK but quintessentially British.
The pies were slightly better than average meat-and-pastry-themed foodstuffs and I wasn't impressed with the beer. The tea, however, was fantastic.
It's time for a tea break, but the tour doesn't stop here!

Sanders, second-half defense lead Red Oak to crucial 4-5A win against Midlothian

MIDLOTHIAN — Two things were certain ahead of Friday's crucial district tilt between Red Oak and Midlothian on the gridiron.
Each of 2,000-plus in attendance was prepared for quite a bit of offense, especially on the ground. The second? Whichever team found itself on the wrong end of the scoreboard would need a miracle and then some to qualify for the 5A postseason.
Behind 447 yards of total offense and three costly takeaways, the Hawks took firm control of the fourth seed in District 4-5A Division I with a 46-35 victory at Midlothian ISD Multipurpose Stadium. The game has been unofficially dubbed "The Battle of Ovilla Road."

"We were the more physical team tonight, and that's what coach kept saying we needed to be all week," senior outside linebacker Cameron Green said. "We did that and pulled out the win."
Red Oak head football coach Michael Quintero echoed his linebacker's assessment, noting that the Hawks proved to be "fighters" in the second half.
"We have continued talking to the kids about finishing football games; it almost cost us this game and cost us the game last week. We have to play four quarters and stay focused."
Red Oak, who missed two weeks of the season due to a now-resolved COVID issue, improved to 3-2 on the season and 3-1 in district play. Midlothian, meanwhile, now sits in a three-way tie for fifth place in 4-5A (1-3) and 3-3 overall.
Mansfield Summit, Colleyville Heritage and Burleson Centennial all remain undefeated in district play. That'll soon change, obviously. Summit has played just two district games thus far due to positive COVID tests, having last taken the field Nov. 5 against Richland.
FRIDAY BY THE NUMBERS
The biggest stat to come out of Friday's "Battle of Ovilla Road" was the three Midlothian turnovers — two lost fumbles and an interception.
Both fumbles came in the first half, which the Hawks led 27-21 as the teams headed to the locker room. The Nicholas De Los Santos interception, unfortunately, came with 51 seconds to play in the fourth quarter and the Panthers trailing, 46-35.
That score held through the final buzzer.
Despite running seven fewer plays (58-65), the Red Oak offense outgained Midlothian 447 total yards to 397.
Running back Zach Sanders led the way for the Hawks with an impressive 207 yards and four touchdowns on 24 carries. He averaged a jaw-dropping 8.9 yards per carry, while the Hawks as a team picked up 265 yards on 35 attempts (265 yards).
Quintero was quick to shower praise on right tackle Charles Walker (No. 72) for leading the offensive line and running game to so much success.
"He was a road grader tonight and I'm proud of that young man," said Quintero of the 6-foot-2, 275-pound Arkansas Tech commit. "He has made a decision this year to be as physical as he's ever been and he has done everything that we have asked of him and done it with a great attitude."
Red Oak quarterback Josh Ervin tip-toes down the sideline for a big gain Friday night. (Fred Phipps/KBEC Sports)
Senior quarterback Josh Ervin completed 17-of-his-21 passes for 178 yards and a pair of touchdowns to Raymond Gay Jr. (7-74) and La'Kelsey Johnson (4-39). Triston Edwards (3-26), Kentrell Anderson (2-22) and Jacob Russell (1-4) also pulled in Ervin passes.
Midlothian was led by its ground game, which featured four rushers with double-digit carries.
De'ago Benson led the pack with 11 rushes for 109 yards, while Ethan Hill scored twice on his 12 carries for 66 yards. Laine Martin added 11 totes for 57 yards and De Los Santos (11-43) added a rushing touchdown to his ledger.
De Los Santos also completed 5-of-his-10 passes for 82 yards and two touchdowns — one do-it-all-athlete Riley Angel (4-68) and the second to Carsen Bates.
Quintero pointed to the defensive front seven and better responsibility on the triple-option in the second half as being a key to the victory for Red Oak.
"They did a really good job of handling what was given to them," the coach said. "They knew it was going to be physical all night."
[…] You don't see it every day and you can't really replicate it in practice," he added. "You really only get to see it in the game. The kids did a great job in the second half to adjust to the speed and react to what they were seeing.
"I thought we were a little sluggish in the first half and they got us a few times. But we settled down and just started seeing things better."
Red Oak did ultimately overcome nine penalties for 75 yards. Midlothian was flagged just three times for 25 yards.
"We have to get rid of the penalties," said Quintero of the Hawks' penalty yardage. "We are killing drives and we are bailing teams out on three-and-outs. We just aren't playing as disciplined as we need to be. We have to get it cleaned up."
Red Oak took its first lead, 20-14, when Ervin faked an inside zone and found Jacob Russell wide open in the left corner of the end zone. The extra-point attempt was true and came with 3:12 to play in the first half.
The Panthers responded — quickly — when De Los Santos found Riley Angel on a corner route for a 24-yard touchdown pass just as the receiver snuck inside the front right pylon. Nicolas Arenare's point-after kick split the upright and put Midlothian back on top, 21-20, with 1:37 showing on the second-quarter clock.
A personal foul on the Panthers following a 17-yard Ervin quickly completion moved the Hawks across midfield. Two more completions later and Ervin found La'Kelsey Johnson for an 18-yard touchdown to put Red Oak back on top, 27-21.
Ervin and the Red Oak offense used just 57 seconds of game time to travel 77 yards in five plays.
The score held and allowed those in attendance to take a breath after the game turned into an old-fashioned shootout.
Ervin completed 12-of-his-15 passes for 135 yards and two touchdowns in the first half. The quarterback also added two carries for 20 yards, though the Hawk backfield was led by Sanders' 12 carries for 66 yards and a score. Iverson Young added five totes for 50 yards.
Gay pulled in five first-half catches for 60 yards and a touchdown, while Johnson had three grabs for 34 yards.
The Panthers were led by De'ago Benson's eight carries for 1076 yards (13.4 YPC) and Ethan Hill's eight rushes for 42 yards and a touchdown.
De Los Santos and David Smith combined to complete 2-of-their-3 passes for 40 yards and an Angel touchdown.
Red Oak picked up 14 first downs to Midlothian's nine. The Hawks were flagged three more times for five more yards (5-25 to 2-20), while the Panthers committed the only first-half turnover.
The first-half scoring pace continued into the early minutes of the third quarter.
Red Oak opened the half with a four-play drive that Sanders capped with a 33-yard touchdown run. The score put the Hawks on top by two touchdowns, 34-21.
Each team added a touchdown in the third quarter to send the game into the final frame with the Hawks leading, 40-28.
Midlothian, however, refused to go away quietly.
On the Panthers' first possession of the fourth quarter, De Los Santos took the drive's eighth snap and rushed across midfield with just over seven minutes to play in the ballgame. One play later, he pitched to Carsen Bates on a speed option to move the offense inside the Hawks' 25-yard line.
Following a timeout with the Panthers facing fourth-and-5, De Los Santos found Angel in the middle of the field for a 19-yard gain to the Red Oak 1-yard line. Hill ultimately capped the 18-play, 79-yard drive with a 1-yard touchdown run.
The scoring drive pulled the Panthers within a single score, 40-35, with 5:06 to play in the fourth quarter.
Unfortunately for the Panthers, Ervin and the Hawk offense had zero desire to keep the game close.
Sanders rushed for 39 and 23 yards to move Red Oak inside the Panthers' 2-yard line. The running back scored two plays later for a 2-yard touchdown run to put Red Oak up two scores, 46-35, with 2:27 to play in the game.
De Los Santos was ultimately intercepted by Jackson Bailey on the ensuing drive with 51 seconds to play and after moving the offense inside the Red Oak 30-yard line. The turnover allowed Red Oak to run out the clock and secure the 46-35 win.
Red Oak will host (3-2, 2-0) Mansfield Summit on Friday at Billy Goodloe Stadium, while Midlothian faces (2-4, 1-3) Mansfield Legacy on the road.
Both games are slated for 7 p.m. kickoffs.
