Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) offer paths to experiences that, while not exactly "real," access alternative and blended experiential domains that can enhance everyday life. The travel industry, spectator sports and, of course, digital gaming are arenas ripe with abundant opportunities on the cusp of genuinely universal accessibility. But leisure and entertainment applications are far from the only ways that AR and VR will become pervasive in our digitally dominated world. Here, I touch on three industrial applications of AR and VR being explored by digital leaders around the globe —where lives are being saved, manual tasks are being automated and shopping experiences are being enhanced.

The Future of Digital Leadership
This vision paper dives deep into the ways Equinix is helping digital leaders assemble infrastructure in mere minutes to build digital advantage, boost agility and deploy faster. The analysis also explores the technology trends accelerating infrastructure change and how an interconnected approach helps businesses deliver new capabilities for the digital world.
What are AR and VR?
Before jumping into specific discussions about how AR and VR are being applied in the real-world, it's worthwhile to take a step back and distinguish between these two often-conflated technologies.
Virtual reality—VR is a completely simulated experience that can be similar to or completely different from the real world. Virtual reality systems use either headsets or multi-projected environments to generate realistic images, sounds and other sensations that simulate a user's physical presence in a virtual environment. You can look around the artificial world, move around in it, and interact with virtual features or items.
Augmented reality—AR is an interactive experience of a real-world environment in which objects that reside in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information—sometimes across multiple sensory systems. AR incorporates a combination of real and virtual worlds, real-time interaction, and accurate three-dimensional (3D) imaging of virtual and real objects. The overlaid experience is interwoven with the physical world and perceived as an integrated, immersive environment.
How holograms are revolutionizing cardiac care
Cardiac arrhythmia (an irregular heartbeat) is a potentially serious heart condition that is much more common than you might suspect. About 5% of the U.S. population experiences arrhythmias,[i] which can lead to stroke, fainting and even death.
One of the treatment options for arrhythmias is a catheter ablation, which uses radiofrequency heat energy to burn a small area of heart tissue to stop irregular heartbeats. Typically, an electro-cardiologist must mentally combine multiple two-dimensional (2D) images of the heart displayed on different monitors in real-time to determine what tissue to ablate during the procedure.
Husband and wife team Dr. Jonathan Silva and Dr. Jennifer Silva at Washington University in St. Louis created the Enhanced Electrophysiology Visualization and Interaction System (ĒLVIS)[ii] to help physicians visualize the interior of the heart during ablation procedures. ĒLVIS combines AR software with Microsoft's HoloLens headset to convert commercially available electroanatomic and catheter data into a 3D holographic image of the patient's heart with real-time catheter locations. The physician optimizes the real-time visualization by gesturing to control the headset and move around the inside of 3D heart image—all while keeping hands sterile during the procedure.
The potential for improved patient care and long-term cost savings make this AR implementation extremely attractive. According to Washington University in St. Louis, this new procedure has already proven to improve the accuracy of ablation procedures. Potential benefits include a decreased need for repeat procedures and reduced procedure duration, resulting in a projected savings of $370 million annually.
Potential benefits include fewer repeat ablations and reduced procedure duration, resulting annual savings of $370 million.
AR, VR boost MRO logistics and operations efficiency
The Covid-19 pandemic had a profound impact on maintenance and repair operations (MRO) and logistics in the air transport industry. However, according to UK-based trade publication Aviation Business News, the use of AR and VR is helping companies overcome operational challenges, resulting in improved effectiveness and lower expenditures[iii]. MRO logistics companies have invested in both VR and AR, leading to improved service to customers while making processes more efficient and boosting performance.
For example, the Swiss MRO logistics provider Kuehne+Nagel has implemented AR in its operations in many elements across the company's logistics processes, deploying a concept called "robotic process automation" and using AR in its MRO logistics operations and business units to automate processes.
Equinix customer FIEGE Group is another digital leader implementing AR and VR strategies as part of a comprehensive digital transformation initiative. The global logistics company's AR/VR strategy is an essential element of its next-generation digital infrastructure architecture, which also includes automating warehouse operations via AR/VR goggles for real-time inventory fulfillment and management, drone-assisted stocktaking, robots for moving inventory, and IoT, social analytics and digital twin implementations. The company leverages a "pick-by-vision" AR solution by Picavi (illustrated in the following photograph) that enables FIEGE employees to use smart glasses to order-pick inventory—saving valuable time in order fulfillment and inventory management.

VR and AR investments have helped elevate efficiency and performance, leading to improved customer service."
Amazon brings AR to hair services and online shopping
With in-store visits heavily limited during lockdowns, AR adoption for shopping has more than doubled in the past year, according to market research firm eMarketer. Just 5% of US adults said they had used AR or VR while shopping in a December 2019 eMarketer/Bizrate Insights survey[iv]. By February 2021, 11% said they had done so, and another 34% said that they were at least somewhat interested in trying it[v].
In April, Amazon announced the opening of a hair salon in London as a way to "showcase new products and technology.[vi]" The salon will use AR to show customers how their hair could look after using various products, which customers can then purchase via QR code. Other Amazon experimental AR initiatives include a launch of an AR tool for furniture shopping[vii] in August 2020 and a co-marketing deal with L'Oréal as a part of its ModiFace lipstick try-on feature AR application that was introduced for its Maybelline brand in 2019[viii].

An enjoyable, cozy novel that touches on tough topics.
by Clare Pooley ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 4, 2020
A group of strangers who live near each other in London become fast friends after writing their deepest secrets in a shared notebook.
Julian Jessop, a septuagenarian artist, is bone-crushingly lonely when he starts "The Authenticity Project"—as he titles a slim green notebook—and begins its first handwritten entry questioning how well people know each other in his tiny corner of London. After 15 years on his own mourning the loss of his beloved wife, he begins the project with the aim that whoever finds the little volume when he leaves it in a cafe will share their true self with their own entry and then pass the volume on to a stranger. The second person to share their inner selves in the notebook's pages is Monica, 37, owner of a failing cafe and a former corporate lawyer who desperately wants to have a baby. From there the story unfolds, as the volume travels to Thailand and back to London, seemingly destined to fall only into the hands of people—an alcoholic drug addict, an Australian tourist, a social media influencer/new mother, etc.—who already live clustered together geographically. This is a glossy tale where difficulties and addictions appear and are overcome, where lies are told and then forgiven, where love is sought and found, and where truths, once spoken, can set you free. Secondary characters, including an interracial gay couple, appear with their own nuanced parts in the story. The message is strong, urging readers to get off their smartphones and social media and live in the real, authentic world—no chain stores or brands allowed here—making friends and forming a real-life community and support network. And is that really a bad thing?

A strict report, worthy of sympathy.
by J.D. Salinger ‧ RELEASE DATE: June 15, 1951
A violent surfacing of adolescence (which has little in common with Tarkington's earlier, broadly comic, Seventeen) has a compulsive impact.
"Nobody big except me" is the dream world of Holden Caulfield and his first person story is down to the basic, drab English of the pre-collegiate. For Holden is now being bounced from fancy prep, and, after a vicious evening with hall- and roommates, heads for New York to try to keep his latest failure from his parents. He tries to have a wild evening (all he does is pay the check), is terrorized by the hotel elevator man and his on-call whore, has a date with a girl he likes—and hates, sees his 10 year old sister, Phoebe. He also visits a sympathetic English teacher after trying on a drunken session, and when he keeps his date with Phoebe, who turns up with her suitcase to join him on his flight, he heads home to a hospital siege. This is tender and true, and impossible, in its picture of the old hells of young boys, the lonesomeness and tentative attempts to be mature and secure, the awful block between youth and being grown-up, the fright and sickness that humans and their behavior cause the challenging, the dramatization of the big bang. It is a sorry little worm's view of the off-beat of adult pressure, of contemporary strictures and conformity, of sentiment….

I started a month ago! 11 pounds down!
I think I would have done better without the road trip, but that is life. It isn't an easy journey.
I will probably be on phase 1 for another four months. I don't mind. I like the packets.
11 pounds are gone, my emotions are stabilized, no more drinking, I've gone from size 12 pants to size 10s. Struggling through the first few weeks is worth it for the award of a healthier you.
I have one more weekend of travel then I'll be home until after Christmas. It is much easier to be at home in your own kitchen with your own ingredients.
I'm thankful because I've been trying to do this on my own for a long time.
Wow, those are great results! Congratulations.

Justia Patents Composite; I.e., Plural, Adjacent, Spatially Distinct Metal Components (e.g., Layers, Joint, Etc.)US Patent Application for Friction guard blade and a method of production thereof Patent Application (Application #20040247928)
Friction guard blade and a method of production thereof
A friction resistant blade having a protective layer with an increased hardness is provided. A method for producing the friction resistant blade is also provided.
[0001] This patent application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/768,710 filed Jan. 24, 2001 which claims the benefit of provisional patent application Serial No. 60/242,107 filed Oct. 20, 2000.
[0002] This invention relates to prolonged life coater and doctor blades used in paper and printing applications and to methods of their production. Blades are the dominant means of applying inks and coatings to paper and packagings. The blades and method of the present invention achieve a friction resistant blade edge which allows coating or ink to be evenly applied to paper or board. The wear resistant blade has a longer life than conventional steel blades reducing the loss in production time due to frequent replacement of blades.
[0003] The paper or board manufactured for publication or packaging applications is frequently coated prior to printing. Properties such as opacity, gloss, smoothness and "printability" of a coated sheet are far improved over those of an uncoated sheet. Typically the coating is applied as a liquid mixture of clay, pigments, starch and/or other binders.
[0004] Coater blades are used for metering coatings and in particular waterborne calcium carbonate or clay based coatings on high grade paper used in the printing and packaging industry. Various types of coaters are used within the papermaking industry, but it is generally accepted that the highest quality coated paper surface is obtained using a blade coater. Printing doctor blades are used for metering ink in engraved cylinder used in printing. The coater blade scrapes or meters the amount of coat weight applied to the sheet, leaving a smooth, glossy surface. Any imperfection in the blade or its working edge will cause scratches or a non-uniform application of the coating. Also, because the coating itself contains abrasive particles the coater blade is subject to continuous and adverse wear. Therefore, in order to maintain sheet quality, the coater blades on a paper machine must be changed out at regular intervals. Paper machine doctor blades are also used in paper machines in many positions for maintenance and cleaning.
[0005] Change out intervals, typically are in the order of two to six times per day or more. Production losses are incurred due to the time needed to replace a blade and also because the operation of a new blade usually requires adjustment to ensure uniform coating and acquire distribution across the width of the machine. Some production losses due to coater blade changes are able to be reduced by scheduling the coater blade changes to coincide with other maintenance items that can be carried out while the machine runs. A wear resistant coater blade with a ceramic edge is available for use in coating. Ceramic edge blades can last several times longer than conventional steel blades, but regular replacement is still required. Therefore, lost production time is still substantial and the cost of ceramic blades is significantly more than that of the conventional steel blades.
[0006] A continuous crepe system is available for paper finishing. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,007,132 (Reid et al.) discloses use of a continuous blade which is tugged along the width by intermittently driven clamps in order to form the crepe in the paper. Such tugging, however adversely effects the smoothness and quality of coating on the coated paper or board resulting in streaks or scratches on the coating.
[0007] In the present invention, a friction resistant blade with a protective edge is provided which solves the problems of frequent change out, poor quality products, and uneven application of coatings.
[0008] An object of the present invention is to provide a friction resistant blade with a protective layer. The protective layer is preferably chromium applied to at least the edge of the blade via electroplating.
[0009] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of producing a friction resistant blade which comprises applying a protective layer, preferably a layer of chromium, to a blade-shaped substrate base.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
[0010] FIG. 1 shows a friction resistant blade useful in the papermaking and printing industry and commonly referred to as a coater or doctor blade.
[0011] FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of a friction resistant blade.
[0012] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the present invention is a friction resistant coater or doctor blade. The blade 1 is comprised of a substrate base 2 formed in the shape of a blade with an edge 4. The edge 4 of the blade may be either beveled or square. The substrate base 2 is coated with a protective layer 14. The protective layer 14 is preferably chromium or low phosphorous electroless nickel. However, the protective layer 14 may comprise electroplated hard chrome. The protective layer 14 may be applied via a temperature controlled bath with a timed immersion to determine or and build the desired thickness. The protective layer 14 is heat treated to increase the hardness of the coating thereby increasing the useful life of the blade. The protective layer 14 comprises a Rockwell C hardness measurement of at least 70 after heat treatment.
[0013] Doctor blades of the present invention are useful in the printing industry. The blades can have a variation in thickness of between about 0.004 and 0.10 inches, with a honed edge on the reverse side of the blade. The blade substrate may be comprised of stainless steel, carbon strip steel or an electro-slag remelt, such as for example 1095 ESR. The blade substrate has a tensile strength of between 1800 and 1900 MPa, and preferably between 1840 and 1870 MPa. In embodiments where the blade substrate is carbon strip steel, the carbon content of the blade substrate will range between 0.0 and 1.1 percent carbon. In embodiments where the blade substrate is stainless steel, a 716/420 mod stainless steel is preferred. In one preferred embodiment the blade substrate does not contain chromium. The blades have angles on both the front and reverse sides. The blades may be diamond honed or ceramic superfinished. There may be an angle included on the back side of the blade ranging from about 4 to 13 degrees, and the front side may have an angled edge ranging from about 20 to 90 degrees. The blades further comprise a low phosphorous electroless nickel plating on the outside edge or alternatively on the entire blade. Low phosphorous electroless nickel has a phosphorous content of between two and five percent. In a preferred embodiment the phosphorous content is three percent. This blade substrate has a Rockwell hardness measurement of between 50 and 52 on a Rockwell C scale prior to coating. The coating provides the blade substrate with a Rockwell hardness measurement of between 60 and 65, or particularly about 63 (RC63) when plated. The coating is applied to the blade substrate at thickness between 0.0002 to 0.0004 per side, and then heat treated to about 750 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour. It is preferred that the heat treatment be completed in a convection oven. Heat treatment after plating increases hardness of the blades to greater than 70 on Rockwell C Scale. In a preferred embodiment, the Rockwell C hardness is about 71. When a lower temperature is used for heat treating, the resultant hardness of the blades is also lower. Additionally, the flexibility of the coating is increased as compared to other blade coatings due to periodic reverse cleaning and heat treating after coating application. For coater blades useful in the paper industry, which are manufactured in Germany and Sweden, all processing steps are performed on the raw blade substrate material which is initially in coil form. A honed included angle is applied to the edge from 1 to 90 degrees inclusive of the finish on the angle to be 0.000002 to 0.000003 inches. The blade may further comprise safety dimples, tabs, rivets, or pull holes if desired. Low phosphorous electroless nickel plating is applied to the blades at a thickness of 0.0003 to 0.0009 inches per side. Then the protectively coated blade substrate is heat treated in a convection oven at about 750 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour or until the hardness of the blade is at least Rockwell C 70 (RC 70). Furthermore, benefits provided to the blade in light of the increased hardness include longer life, more durability, less streaking, increased smoothness, increased gloss, lower coefficient of friction, erosion resistant heel of the blade, increased run time for the coater blade is three to four times greater than that of Blue Polished 1095 Steel.
[0014] The protective layer may cover all or any portion of the blade. However, in a preferred embodiment, the protective layer 14 is present on at least the blade edge 4 and may extend down the face 6 of the blade 1. The layer thickness may vary from 0.0001 inch to 0.015 inch and extend down the face 6 of the blade 1 from ⅜ inch to ¾ inch depending on the desired application. The length of the blade 1 may vary typically from 6 inches to 600 inches or more depending upon the application. The width of the blade 1 also varies typically from 0.5 inches to 6 inches depending on the desired application. The thickness of the blade may vary from about 0.002 to about 0.125 inches.
[0015] The blade 1 is formed of a substrate material, preferably carbon strip steel, stainless steel, stainless alloy, bronze or monel, depending upon desired hardness. The protective layer 14 on the blade 1 increases the wear of the blades and also enhances the performance of the blades and the products of papermaking or printing applications such as metering of coating or ink, maintenance or doctoring applications wherein these blades are used. The blade 1 can be coiled or fashioned in a roll-like manner. The protective layer 14 does not intermingle with the substrate material of the blade 1 upon heat treatment.
[0016] An embodiment wherein the edge 4 of blade 1 is beveled is depicted in FIG. 2. The angle of this bevel may vary from about 1° to about 90°.
[0017] Also provided is a method of making a friction resistant blade comprising applying to a blade-shaped substrate base a protective layer preferably to areas of the blade-shaped substrate base which contact various coatings used in paper making and printing applications. In a preferred embodiment, the protective layer is applied at least to the edge of the substrate base and can extend down the face of the substrate base. Preferably the protective layer is chromium and is applied via electroplating to the blade-shaped substrate base. However, other methods known in the art for application of a protective layer can also be used. The protective layer can vary according to application in thickness from 0.0001 inch to 0.015 inch and can extend down the face of the blade from ⅜ inch to ¾ inch depending on the desired application.
[0018] If an angled edge is desired, the blade angles are formed and then tested for conformity with an optical comparator. The blades are machine tested for hardness.

Home » Kaduna govt supports military with van, bikes to fight attacks
From Mohammad Ibrahim, Kaduna
As part of efforts to end attacks in Southern Kaduna, the State Government has supported the military with a patrol van and motorcycles to enable them carry out their activities with ease.
This was contained in a statement signed by the governor's spokesperson Samuel Aruwan made available to newsmen in the state.
He explained that the government welcomes the desire for calm, and proceeding with security and peace-building efforts to sustain harmony, law and order in the state.
"Concerted efforts to maintain peace in southern Kaduna are continuing. The military authorities have deployed more troops to the area. Extra troops posted to the general area from 24th December2017 have since arrived, and are operating in the areas assigned to them.
"Furthermore, in order to enhance security patrols in the area, the Kaduna State Government has provided the military with a new patrol van. The government has also supplied Royal Bikes that are meant for difficult terrains in addition to conventional motorcycles.
"The security actions are being complemented by the officials of the Kaduna State Peace Commission who have commenced peace building engagements in the Kaduna South Senatorial District. The leadership and permanent commissioners of the commission are leading the engagements with the clergy, traditional and community leaders and other stakeholders.
"The government welcomes the confirmation by the military authorities that there were no security breaches in the area on Christmas day and on Boxing Day, enabling residents to observe peaceful celebrations.
"The Kaduna State Government wishes to express its appreciation of the collective efforts made for peace and security by traditional and religious leaders and members of the general public. It calls on all citizens to contribute to peace and stability by maintaining vigilance, reporting suspicious activity and upholding harmony within and across communities."

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for a winter storm tomorrow with the possibility of 15 to 20 cm of snow, as well as ice pellets, freezing rain and strong winds. The City of Toronto has a comprehensive snow and ice response plan that prioritizes the safety and movement of residents. Toronto is a vibrant city with more than 5,600 kilometre of roads and 2.9 million people.
preparing for winter by maintaining roads, performing on-going pothole repair blitzes, replenishing salt and de-icer supplies, attending training and seeking new ways to address snow.
real-time cameras to see actual conditions on key streets to inform operations.
Crews work around-the-clock to clean-up the remaining snow and ice on city streets, sidewalks, bike trails, laneways, and more.
Staff respond to resident requests through 311.
Staff continue to coordinate cleanup efforts via conference calls.
Services delivered are reviewed to inform future improvements.
Anti-Icing – Salt brine is applied to expressways, hills and bridges up to 24 hours before snow falls.
Salting – When the snow begins to stick, expressways, major and local roads are salted and must be completed on all serviced roads between one and 24 hours from the end of snowfall.
Plowing – Expressways are plowed first at 2 cm of snow accumulation (within two to three hours). Major roads are plowed at 5 cm of accumulation (within six to eight hours). Collector roads are plowed between 5 and 8 cm of accumulation (within 14 to 16 hours). Local road plowing starts when accumulation has reached 8 cm and the snow has substantially stopped falling.
Windrow opening – For areas where it is mechanically feasible (not in the central core), driveway entrances are cleared to an opening of three metres within two hours following the end of road plowing.
Sidewalk and transit stop clearing – High pedestrian volume areas are cleared first, starting after 2 cm of accumulation. After the snow has stopped falling, sidewalks can take six to seven hours to be cleared and transit stops can take up to 48 hours to be cleared.
Cycling routes – Salting begins on cycling routes at the same time as salting on the adjacent road. Plowing is completed after 5 cm of accumulation.
Seniors and persons with disabilities – In areas of the city where mechanical sidewalk snow clearing is not feasible the City offers a free snow-shovelling service for those in need.
Business and property owners are responsible for ensuring that all ice and snow are cleared from sidewalks, driveways, parking spaces, steps, ramps and landings within 24 hours of snowfall to provide safe access for people and vehicles. The City will clear snow from sidewalks within 12 hours of snowfall, where it is possible to safely drive a plow. Property owners who fail to clear their snow and ice could be subject to a fine. More information is available at https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/streets-parking-transportation/road-maintenance/winter-maintenance/clearing-snow-and-ice-from-your-property/.
Autos that block streetcar tracks or impede emergency vehicles will be tagged and towed at the owner's expense. Blocking streetcar tracks can inconvenience thousands of commuters and put at risk the safety of others in an emergency.
Try to keep children and pets indoors.
Stay away from rivers and streams and from downed wires and trees that may have an electrical charge.
Take public transport and avoid driving if possible. If it is necessary to drive, do so cautiously and slowly. Keep the vehicle's gas tank at least half full at all times.
Offer to help elderly neighbours or those individuals who may need assistance.
Pick up critical medications before the storm.
More information about emergency preparedness, including how to pack an emergency kit and go bag, is available at https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/public-safety-alerts/emergency-preparedness/.
The City asks that residents help vulnerable people by calling 311 if there is a need for street outreach assistance, 911 if the situation is an emergency.
The declaration of an Extreme Cold Weather Alert activates additional City services that focus on getting and keeping vulnerable residents inside. A warming centre is opened at Metro Hall by 7 p.m. the day an alert is called, and remains open continuously until noon on the day an alert is terminated. Pets are welcome. Service restrictions at shelters are also relaxed and additional overnight street outreach teams are deployed.
More information about 24-hour respite sites, shelters, housing help, drop-ins and Out of the Cold programs is available at http://toronto.ca/homelesshelp.
Shovel the snow and ice away from the foundation and onto a lawn, not the road.
Ensure eavestroughs and downspouts are clear of snow, ice and other debris and are working properly.
If it is safe to do so, clear debris from roadside catch basins to help melting snow and rain enter the storm sewer.
During cold winter weather, water pipes can freeze. Property owners are encouraged to take steps to protect pipes from freezing and learn what to do if they freeze, at http://www.toronto.ca/frozenpipes.
Power outages can be reported to Toronto Hydro at 416-542-8000. Toronto Hydro will work to restore power as quickly as possible.
Unplug or turn off all appliances to avoid possible damage when power resumes.
Don't use barbecues, propane heaters or portable generators indoors or in enclosed spaces such as garages, covered porches and sheds – they generate carbon monoxide gas, which can be fatal.
Never leave candles unattended. Use a flashlight instead.
If electricity is restored to your area, but your home still does not have power, call Toronto Hydro at 416-542-800 (press 1) to speak with a dispatcher.
Plug in only the most essential appliances first, and wait 10 to 15 minutes to give the electrical system time to stabilize before connecting other items.
Turn off all non-essential internal and external lights.
Limit the use of major power-consuming equipment such as dishwashers, washers and dryers.
Residents are reminded that 911 is for emergencies only, including downed power lines. For all other incidents where police are required, call 416-808-2222.
Residents are asked not to call 311 to ask when their street will be plowed. Local roads are plowed 14 to 16 hours after snowfall is over. To watch plows working in real time visit http://www.toronto.ca/plowTO.
Staff are available at 311 Toronto, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to respond to City-related inquiries and service requests, including non-working traffic signals, other road and sidewalk problems, as well as damaged trees on City property. To contact 311 Toronto Dial 3-1-1, email 311@toronto.ca or visit http://www.toronto.ca/311.
For damaged trees on private property, residents should contact a private tree service company.

Q: "Too much recursion" when creating LatLng a different way I just want to ask some help about the error to much recursion. If I have this kind of code
in my ajax request
var arr=["10.296954, 123.896785","10.298750, 123.895974",
         "10.299524, 123.898862","10.294086, 123.897424"];

$.ajax({
    ....
    ...
    ....
    success:function(data){
       for(var i=0;i<arr.length;i++){
        path.push(new google.maps.LatLng((arr[i]));
     }
   }

 });

but if I change something like this
var arr=["10.296954, 123.896785","10.298750, 123.895974",
         "10.299524, 123.898862","10.294086, 123.897424"];

$.ajax({
    ....
    ...
    ....
    success:function(data){
       for(var i=0;i<arr.length;i++){
                       path.push(new google.maps.LatLng(10.296954, 123.896785),
                                 new google.maps.LatLng(10.298750, 123.895974),
                                 new google.maps.LatLng(10.299524, 123.898862),
                                 new google.maps.LatLng(10.294086, 123.897424));

                   }
   }

 });

It works properly it will draw polylines in the map
Can you help me on this?. what is the wrong of my code if I will loop the coordinates

A: As others have said, you need to pass separate lats and longs to the path.
Try changing your array into a finer grained model, e.g.:
var arr=[{lat: 10.296954, lng: 123.896785},
         {lat: 10.298750, lng: 123.895974},
         {lat: 10.299524, lng: 123.898862},
         {lat: 10.294086, lng: 123.897424}];

and then change:
path.push(new google.maps.LatLng(arr[i].lat, arr[i].lng);

A: LatLng takes two numeric arguments for the coordinates, but only one - a string, e.g. "10.296954, 123.896785", which is an invalid value for the constructor - is supplied. It's a shame the error isn't more helpful, but that's the cause.
While the source data can be changed, and doing so might be arguably better overall, consider the use of a helper "factory" function as an alternative.
// Create a LatLng given coordinates from a string
// in the form of "lat, lng" or an array of [lat, lng].
function mkLatLng (coords) {
    var parts = ("" + coords).split(/,\s+/);
    var lat = parseFloat(parts[0]);
    var lng = parseFloat(parts[1]);
    if (parts.length != 2 || isNaN(lat) || isNaN(lng)) {
        throw "invalid data";
    }
    // Now passing in TWO NUMERIC ARGUMENTS, as per the API
    return new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
}

Then it can be used as a proxy to correctly coerce/convert the data.
 path.push(mkLatLng(arr[i]));

A: Try this,
for(var i=0;i<arr.length;i+=2){// increment i by 2
   path.push(new google.maps.LatLng(arr[i],arr[i+1]); // now you get lat,long
}

Your array should be, in the above case,
var arr=[10.296954, 123.896785,10.298750, 123.895974,
         10.299524, 123.898862,10.294086, 123.897424];

Otherwise, try the below code,
for(var i=0;i<arr.length;i++){
   var latlng=arr[i].replace('"','').split(',');
   path.push(new google.maps.LatLng(latlng[0],latlng[1]);
}

"Vintage Follett . . . This is his most ambitious novel and it succeeds admirably." —USA Today
Ellis, the American. Jean-Pierre, the Frenchman. They were two men on opposite sides of the Cold War, with a woman torn between them. Together, they formed a triangle of passion and deception, racing from terrorist bombs in Paris to the violence and intrigue of Afghanistan—to the moment of truth and deadly decision for all of them. . . .
Edition description:
Ken Follett is one of the world's best-loved authors, selling more than 160 million copies of his thirty books. Follett's first bestseller was Eye of the Needle, a spy story set in the Second World War.
In 1989 The Pillars of the Earth was published, and has since become the author's most successful novel. It reached number one on bestseller lists around the world and was an Oprah's Book Club pick.
Its sequels, World Without End and A Column of Fire, proved equally popular, and the Kingsbridge series has sold 38 million copies worldwide.
Follett lives in Hertfordshire, England, with his wife Barbara. Between them they have five children, six grandchildren, and three Labradors.

3. NOTICE OF OTHER BUSINESS
Items of other business notified under Council Procedure Rule 30 to be announced, together with the special circumstances that justify their consideration as a matter of urgency. The Chairman to rule on the admission of such items.
4. DECLARATION OF INTERESTS
5. E-PETITION
To receive an e-petition which has received 124 signatures which asks the Council to:
"We the undersigned petition the council to Review the adoption of the Community Infrastructure Levy.
In January this year, my family was hit by a demand for immediate payment of £24, 274.35p by TRDC in relation to the extension we are building on our family home for my 81 year old stepfather who is in poor health and does not want to live on his own anymore. We are NOT commercial developers.
Our crime? Despite having been granted full planning permission, having informed TRDC building control that we were commencing works and having been granted a full exemption from CIL by TRDC in October 2017, we failed to return a one page form before commencing works. Contrary to statements from TRDC, the last communication we received on the matter was in October 2017 - nearly 4 months beforehand.
We accept this was our error and we hold our hands up to it, but do we - or anyone else - really deserve a penalty at this level? £24,274.35p for one, one-page form.
We were not flouting the regulations and we were not ignoring advice from TRDC. We simply forgot one form, which ultimately, in the whole scheme of things was completely irrelevant. The only reason the council need to know the start date is in order to start charging and we had already been granted a full exemption, so there was no charge. We should have returned it, but ultimately it is a tick-box exercise and there is no reason for it. As one legal journal out it:
"There is no compelling reason that a timing error should override the ability to claim and retain the exemption, particularly when the need for advance notice of works is redundant on account of there being no need for a collecting authority to generate a demand notice where CIL is not payable".
Our error was a minor procedural one and it had no impact on the nature of the project. It is still a residential extension to accommodate an elderly relative.
If a mistake has been made, then I accept that TRDC are within their rights to penalise us, but why would you remove the exemption that you have already confirmed in writing with a detailed summary of the reasons for your decision?
I realise this is a "first world problem" and will not be of interest to many people, but it really has caused untold stress and anxiety to my family and created a lot of uncertainty over the completion of our project, so I would really appreciate your support.
This is an outrageous penalty, which is completely disproportionate to the error made.
I know of at least two other local families who have been hit with exactly the same issue and there will be many more. TRDC revenues from CIL have risen from £42K in its first year of operation, to over £900,000 in its second year; an increase of over 2000%.
CIL was adopted by Three Rivers District Council (TRDC) in April 2015. The concept behind CIL is an honorable one. It is aimed at getting a contribution from commercial developers whose projects put extra pressure on the local infrastructure. I am sure that most people completely agree with that, but the legislation is formulaic and inflexible. It is catching out families who should not be charged and there are little or no means of appealing.
We need to make sure that this legislation is not used as a cash-cow for cash-strapped Councils. The adoption of the legislation should be repealed until it is amended and fit for purpose."
6. MEMBER TRAINING
The Committee last received a report on Member training on 5 December 2016 (Minute PR77/16) and raised a number of matters at the meeting which were addressed as set out in Paragraph 2.1 below.
Members are asked to suggest how Member training should be directed in the future, how attendance levels can be improved and how the training budget can be fully utilised during 2018/19.

It has been decided by the Council that in all the circumstances, the public interest in maintaining the exemption outweighs the public interest in disclosing the information."

1. OTHER BUSINESS – If approved under item 3 above.

Споко́йный (до 1948 года Бозго́з-Кита́й; , ) — исчезнувший посёлок в Первомайском районе Республики Крым, располагавшийся на востоке района на границе с Красногвардейским. Находился в маловодной балке (впадающей слева в Чатырлыкскую) степного Крыма, примерно в 3 километрах к востоку от современного села Октябрьское.

Динамика численности населения

 1805 год — 135 чел.
 1864 год — 7 чел.
 1889 год — 14 чел.

 1900 год — 56 чел.
 1915 год — 31/34 чел.
 1926 год — 90 чел.

История
Первоначально в источниках поселение фигурировало, как просто Китай. Первое документальное упоминание села встречается в Камеральном Описании Крыма… 1784 года, судя по которому, в последний период Крымского ханства  Хытай входил в Караул кадылык Перекопского каймаканства. После присоединения Крыма к Российской империи (8) 19 апреля 1783 года, (8) 19 февраля 1784 года, именным указом ЕкатериныII сенату, на территории бывшего Крымского ханства была образована Таврическая область и деревня была приписана к Евпаторийскому уезду. После павловских реформ, с 1796 по 1802 год входила в Акмечетский уезд Новороссийской губернии. По новому административному делению, после создания 8 (20) октября 1802 года Таврической губернии, Китай был включён в состав Бозгозской волости Перекопского уезда.

По Ведомости о всех селениях в Перекопском уезде состоящих с показанием в которой волости сколько числом дворов и душ… от 21 октября 1805 года в деревне Китай числилось 15 дворов и 135 жителей крымских татар. На военно-топографической карте 1817 года деревня Китай обозначена с 14 дворами. После реформы волостного деления 1829 года Кытай, согласно «Ведомости о казённых волостях Таврической губернии 1829 года», отнесли к Эльвигазанской волости. В те годы, видимо, вследствие эмиграции крымских татар в Турцию, деревня заметно опустела и если на карте 1836 года в деревне 12 дворов, то на карте 1842 года Китай обозначен условным знаком «малая деревня», то есть менее 5 дворов. Во время Крымской войны 1854—1856 годов в деревне размещался госпиталь для раненых из Севастополя.

В 1860-х годах, после земской реформы Александра II, деревню приписали к Григорьевской волости того же уезда. В «Списке населённых мест Таврической губернии по сведениям 1864 года», составленном по результатам VIII ревизии 1864 года, Китай — владельческая деревня с 1 двором и 7 жителями при колодцахъ, а в «Памятной книжке Таврической губернии за 1867 год» указано, что деревня стояла покинутая, ввиду эмиграции крымских татар, особенно массовой после Крымской войны 1853—1856 годов, в Турцию. На карте 1865 года в деревне обозначено 3 двора, в «Памятной книге Таврической губернии 1889 года» по результатам Х ревизии 1887 года записан Китай с теми же 3 дворами и 14 жителями.

Вновь, как Китай Александровской волости, деревня встречается в «…Памятной книжке Таврической губернии на 1900 год» , согласно которой в деревне числилось 56 жителей в 12 дворах. По Статистическому справочнику Таврической губернии. Ч.II-я. Статистический очерк, выпуск пятый Перекопский уезд, 1915 год, в деревне Боз-Гоз-Китай (Булгакова) Александровской волости Перекопского уезда числилось 8 дворов со смешанным населением в количестве 31 человек приписных жителей и 34 — «посторонних».

После установления в Крыму Советской власти, по постановлению Крымревкома от 8 января 1921 года № 206 «Об изменении административных границ» была упразднена волостная система, Перекопский уезд переименовали в Джанкойский, в котором был образован Ишуньский район, в состав которого включили село, а в 1922 году уезды получили название округов. 11 октября 1923 года, согласно постановлению ВЦИК, в административное деление Крымской АССР были внесены изменения, в результате которых округа были отменены, Ишуньский район упразднён и село вошло в состав Джанкойского района. Согласно Списку населённых пунктов Крымской АССР по Всесоюзной переписи 17 декабря 1926 года, в селе Боз-Гоз-Китай, Тереклынского сельсовета Джанкойского района, числилось 17 дворов, все крестьянские, население составляло 90 человек, из них 52 русских и 38 украинцев. Постановлением ВЦИК РСФСР от 30 октября 1930 года был создан Фрайдорфский еврейский национальный район (переименованный указом Президиума Верховного Совета РСФСР № 621/6 от 14 декабря 1944 года в Новосёловский) (по другим данным 15 сентября 1931 года) и село включили в его состав, а после разукрупнения в 1935-м и образования также еврейского национального Лариндорфского (переименованный указом Президиума Верховного Совета РСФСР № 621/6 от 14 декабря 1944 года в Первомайский), село переподчинили новому району.

С 25 июня 1946 года Боз-Гоз-Китай в составе Крымской области РСФСР. Указом Президиума Верховного Совета РСФСР от 18 мая 1948 года Боз-Гоз-Китай переименовали в посёлок Спокойный. 26 апреля 1954 года Крымская область была передана из состава РСФСР в состав УССР. Ликвидирован до 1960 года, поскольку в «Справочнике административно-территориального деления Крымской области на 15 июня 1960 года» селение уже не значилось (согласно справочнику «Крымская область. Административно-территориальное деление на 1 января 1968 года» — в период с 1954 по 1968 годы как посёлок Октябрьского сельсовета Первомайского района).

'Firefly' Star Nathan Fillion Wants To Play Nathan Drake In 'Uncharted: Drake's Fortune' Movie
By The Movie God | @ | Thursday, October 14th, 2010 at 10:49 am
You just have to love when things play out like this.
Earlier this month, it was reported that David O. Russell would be writing and directing the latest attempt to adapt Sony Computer Entertainment and Naughty Dog video game Uncharted: Drake's Fortune into a movie. This was exciting news for fans of the game who see how much potential there is for a great movie franchise, but who could play Nathan Drake?
As is, Drake is already a well-rounded and likable character, and all that's needed is an actor who would be best fitted to bring him to life. At the end of our initial story, I made it pretty clear that they should just cast Firefly and Castle star Nathan Fillion immediately. This was all wishful thinking and came with little expectations of Fillion becoming a possibility, but apparently I am not alone in seeing how ridiculously perfect the actor is for the part.
Fillion made his thoughts on fans wanting him to play Drake clear on Twitter:
If ever there was a Twitter campaign, let this be it. Rise, ye Browncoats. Rise, ye Castillions. RISE!
http://j.mp/aEGe79
— Nathan Fillion (@NathanFillion) October 9, 2010
As far as fans are concerned, there is no thought to this. In many ways, Nathan Fillion IS Nathan Drake, and he would breathe so much life into that character and that movie that it would be an undeniably perfect casting.
But will Sony Pictures and the team behind making this decision see and hear the pleas of geekdom everywhere? This is where you come in!
If anyone working on the Uncharted: Drake's Fortune project for Sony is reading, make this a reality! It shouldn't take you long to realize how good of a match it is, and you wouldn't even need to do an audition. Efficient!
For everyone else who needs this to happen, make your voices heard. Scream loud and often wherever you can to try and catch the attention of anyone who can make it happen. The louder the demand, the more likely the studio will take a good look at Mr. Fillion.
Check out this video of Nathan Drake one-liners, and then just imagine Fillion saying them. It'll all make perfect sense.
Clip has some funny lines, but like many Youtube montage videos: background music is either horrible rock music or turned up way too loud. In this case, definitely the latter. It's a comedy clip, there is no need for that music.
As for the news, never played the game, but Fillion is a perfect choice. Unfortunately, it is a video game based movie. /cursed
Comment by Slipstream — October 14, 2010 @ 11:09 am
Firefly is the single greatest thing ever created in the history of mankind and to have Fillion play Drake would make this the second greatest thing! Just watch Firefly, Fillion IS Drake!
Comment by StatueFan — October 14, 2010 @ 11:31 am
It should also be pointed out that the developer of Uncharted, Naughty Dog, has made it very clear in various interviews that Nathan Fillion's looks and mannerisms were very much the basis for Nathan Drake's character.
So I'm sure there is a large contingent at Naughty Dog that would also like to see Fillion get the role.
It's almost like a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Comment by Ahren — October 14, 2010 @ 11:35 am
@Slipstream Yes, it's definitely not the best video, but there weren't many with good Drake one-liners. Music's too loud but boy do I love that score.
@Ahren Have they? I've never heard that. Perfect!
Comment by The Movie God — October 14, 2010 @ 2:23 pm
We want Nathan Fillion to be cast as Nathan Drake! Yes! NATHAN FILLION is the BEST choice to play Nathan Drake! He's got action hero written all over him, with the biceps to prove it. He's extremely bright, clever, funny, sexy, young, hot, and devilishly handsome. And he wants this role as much as we want it for him! It's his turn to be the next powerful leading man on the big screen. He has single-handedly transformed the term "geek" into "sexgod." He's an up-and-coming A-List movie star with muscle and heat and he's a-comin' to take over feature films! I feel it! Grab him while you can for the Uncharted franchise. Because he'll also make the best Indiana Jones when they re-boot those movies!! In his campaign to be Nathan Drake, we Browncoats and Castillions firmly support our Captain Nathan Fillion!
Comment by Kcat10 — October 15, 2010 @ 8:02 am
Upon watching a series of videos on Youtube that someone had recently posted as part of a walk-through for "Uncharted: Drake's Fortune" the only I could say was, "Nathan Drake = Nathan Fillion, the gotta get him to play this character in the movie version." And I'm very glad to read on your website that this scenario might possibly come true.
Comment by FatMatDuhRat — October 15, 2010 @ 10:39 am
I love Nathan Fillion but I feel like he might look a little old to play Nathan Drake. Then again you probably won't find an actor more suited to play the character and more Nathan Fillion is always a good thing.

Note: If you have Docker installed, then the movement and locking options are inactive - Docker will handle placement of the button.
- Made popup window fade rather than disappear immediately.
1.9r8 - Removed some fixed localisation and replaced data with values generated at runtime from the client.
+ Refined item detection, so should only show the ones you have.
Hello And thank you very much for all your hard work in creating this addon and all your other rift addons.
I would just like to point out a problem with using the docker addon with this addon.
This and your Rifter addon both pop out from the mouse in different directions. The popup for teleporter appears with the top left of the window under the mouse, so to the left and down from the mouse. The Rifter popup window appears to change direction depending on where the icon is placed, which is great..
Because of this, the docker icon can never be placed on the right or bottom of the screen because the popup windows will appear off of the screen.
Also, when the docker direction is set to UP, the icons for the teleport spells appear under the other docker icons.
So because of these factors, the docker cannot be used at the bottom of the screen, and the UP or DOWN options cannot be used. The only reasonable position is at the top left.
It does attach itself on loading so that it appears in a sensible direction, but if you move its location it doesnt detect that and refresh. Rifter on the other hand checks everytime it opens - which is what the above 1 line change will make TP do.

[description] => Allows access to remotely enter the porticulum. 30 minute cooldown.
Woo! It's addon development, and i helped!
Yeah, they would fit - will add them in!
Error: Teleporter/Teleporter_Main.lua:534: Error in coroutine: Incorrect function usage.
Parameters: (Frame: Teleporter.f.frame.0x2c925fa8), (userdata: ), "cast Soul Recall", "Event.UI.Input.Mouse.Left.Click"
Not permitted on a frame with "restricted" SecureMode while the addon environment is secured.
callback:	A global event handler function. This will be called when the event fires. The first parameter will be the standard frame event handle, any other parameters will follow that.
label:	Human-readable label used to identify the handler in error reports, performance reports, and for later detaching.
priority:	Priority of the event handler. Higher numbers trigger first.
Wow, no idea how I didn't see that. Think my brain just focused on the big red bar that shows up and expected the timer to be inside the tinted window/that big red bar to be the timer itself.
Would it be possible to have the menu only show up when you click the button instead of hover over it? Can be pretty annoying to have it show up when randomly moving my mouse around while waiting to respawn/preparing in raid or PvP. Thankfully you have it not show up during combat which is nice.
EDIT: A timer for the cooldown on the teleports would be great as well.
There is a timer - red text to the left of the icon.
I'll see what I can do about the popups.

If you mean what I think you mean, then it's not me missing off the ends of the letters -the available space goes all the way to the edges, the client is doing that.


Well I just spent a whopping $1.50 on ebay to buy some "Nerd Glasses" So I couldn't wait to do another Vidfie of me wearing them, It was done on the nature strip in the middle of the road in front of where I live ! Vidfies are easy to do, you just do a short spinning video of showing yourself and where you are while spinning. It normally goes for about ten to seconds for the best vidfie! Forget selfies, vidfies are here to stay and are so easy to do with nearly all the new phones having a video option, there's no excuse not to show the world where you are and what you are doing a vidfie! The term Vidife appears in the Urban Dictionary Selfies are so yesterday and do not really show us where you are and what you are up to? Especially now that we can add videos to Youtube with out fuss or hassle.
