Saving stills and animations in Blender is essential to showcase your work. Since a lot of questions are asked about this I've prepared this little mini-tutorial on how to save your work.
Before you can save an image you need a scene to render, so let's set up a little scene.
Start Blender and add a UV Sphere. Make sure you can see the sphere in camera view. Also add a lamp, so the sphere will show up in the rendering.
Before we render the image, set the size of the image with SizeX, SizeY and the percentage buttons located in the RenderButtons . Now render the image with and hide the render window with or .
TIP: use the percentage buttons to quickly do low resolution test-renders while you're working.
Now we need to select the filetype in which the image will be saved. Locate the filetype buttons on the right of the RenderButtons and select the filetype for your image.
Note: stills can only be saved as Targa or Jpeg.
Now press to save your image. A file window will open in which you can select the directory the image should be saved in. Type the name of the directory in the first and the name of your image in the second text field and press twice to save the image (the first time is to confirm the file name; the second time actually saves the file).
Note: you have to include the file extension (.tga or .jpg) when you name your image!
First we'll animate the sphere, so we'll have an animation to save. At frame 1 select the sphere, move it a little to the left of the camera view and insert a location key with . Advance to frame 51 (press five times). Grab the sphere again, move it to the right of the camera view and insert another location key. Go back to frame 1 again and press to verify the sphere is animated. Press to cancel animation mode.
Before we press 'Anim' to render the animation we need to make a few preparations. Set 'Sta:' to 1 and 'End:' to 51. Set the filetype again. Set it to 'AVI Raw' or 'AVI jpg' to create an animation in a single file or select 'Targa' or 'JPEG' to save all the frames as separate images. Also make sure the button labeled 'Extensions' is set and don't forget to set the resolution (usually animations need to have a lower resolution than stills!).
Note: you need the Motion Jpeg codec to view AVI jpg files. Get it from here.
Paths should end with '/' (or '' if you're using windows). Anything after the last '/' is used to name the animation.
Blender will also assign names to animations automatically: AVI's will be saved as 'NameStartframe_Endframe.avi', individual frames will be saved as 'NameFramenumber.tga' (or .jpg).
For example: enter 'C:BlenderMyAnim' to save the animation as '0001_0051.avi' in C:BlenderMyAnim. Enter 'C:BlenderMyAnim' (without the last '') to save the animation as 'MyAnim0001_0051.avi' in C:Blender.
The last thing to check is that there are no spaces in the Pics textbutton. If there are spaces Blender will generate an error: 'ERROR: Open Movie' and your animation will not be saved. Blender will also generate this error if the specified path doesn't exist.
After you've entered the path and name hit 'Anim' and your animation will be saved.
Well, that concludes my mini-tutorial. I hope this has cleared up any problems you might have had concerning the saving of stills and animations, but if there are any questions or comments please send an e-mail to support@blender.nl.
Happy blending and now that you know how to save your work feel free to show us what you've made!

Únicas is the eleventh studio album by Spanish duo Azúcar Moreno, released on Sony International in 2002.

Únicas was the first Azúcar Moreno album since 1990's Bandido not to be partly or entirely recorded in the United States, but in Spain and Italy, and it also features strings by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. Únicas however saw the Salazar sisters continuing their longtime and successful collaboration with Spanish singer and composer Miguel Gallardo, this time also in the role as main producer, assisted by Bruno Zuchetti and Danilo Ballo in Milan and Rome. The album also featured further songwriting contributions from the team Pedro del Moral and David Ferrero, who previously had remixed several of their hits like "Amén", "Abracadabra", "Mamma Mia", "Olé" and "Mecachis!".

The lead single from the album was "Besame", also released as an extended dance mix, followed by a cover of The Champs' 1958 rock hit "Tequila" and the melancholy ballad "Volvería A Nacer". The album continued the duo's fusion of rumba flamenca and contemporary urban dance music genres like disco and R&B, the track "Que Me Quiten Lo Bailao" also incorporates influences from Brazil and "Habbibi Te Quiero" ("Habibi" meaning "darling" or "my beloved" in Arabic) again features rhythms and sounds from the Middle East. The album closes with the high camp anthem "Divina De La Muerte", with the verse explaining that there is nothing better to cheer up a dull day than going on a shopping spree, and the sisters namedropping their favourite designer brands; Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, Prada, Shiseido, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Galliano, Dior, Moschino, Valentino, Escada, Versace, Cartier, Cavalli etc. The chorus goes on to proclaim; "Yo soy una chica con suerte - estoy divina de la muerte!" (Translated: "I'm a lucky girl - I'm deadly divine!")

Únicas was only a moderate commercial success compared to Azúcar Moreno's previous efforts, selling some 100,000 copies in their native Spain. Unicas was also one of Sony Music Entertainment's 2002 releases known to be affected by the company's copy protection software, both the album cover and the CD itself clearly state .

Únicas came to be Azúcar Moreno's final album with Miguel Gallardo, who over a period of some ten years had written, co-written, produced or co-produced around twenty-five songs for the duo, including some of their greatest hits. After a long struggle with cancer Gallardo died in 2005.

Q: Astar pathfinding sometimes stops working I'm doing a project when i need to search a path in maze ( matrix of 0's and 1's ), given a origin ( a position tuple ) and an destination.
It works, but sometimes it's just stops, enters in the while loop and while opening the nodes, never reaches the end node... and i don't know why.
I find that algorithm on "medium" site.
´´´
def astar(maze, start, end,bonus,exit_door):
maze = [ [0 if x == 0 else 1 for x in y] for y in maze ]
x_end=end[0]
y_end=end[1]
maze[x_end][y_end]=0
if bonus:
    x_bonus=bonus[0]
    y_bonus=bonus[1]
    maze[x_bonus][y_bonus]=0
if exit_door:
    x_exit=exit_door[0]
    y_exit=exit_door[1]
    maze[x_exit][y_exit]=0

# Create start and end node
start_node = Node(None, start)

start_node.g = start_node.h = start_node.f = 0
end_node = Node(None, end)

end_node.g = end_node.h = end_node.f = 0

# Initialize both open and closed list
open_list = []
closed_list = []

# Add the start node
open_list.append(start_node)

# Loop until you find the end
while len(open_list) > 0 :

    tempo=tempo+1
    # Get the current node
    current_node = open_list[0]

    current_index = 0
    for index, item in enumerate(open_list):
        if item.f <= current_node.f:

            current_node = item
            current_index = index

    # Pop current off open list, add to closed list
    open_list.pop(current_index)

    closed_list.append(current_node)

    # Found the goal
    if current_node == end_node:

        path = []
        current = current_node
        while current is not None:
            path.append(current.position)
            current = current.parent

        return path[::-1] # Return reversed path

    # Generate children
    children = []
    ####
    for new_position in [(0, -1), (0, 1), (-1, 0), (1, 0)]: # Adjacent squares

        # Get node position
        node_position = (current_node.position[0] + new_position[0], current_node.position[1] + new_position[1])
        ## vê cada quadrado adjacente ao nosso current

        # Make sure within range
        if node_position[0] > (len(maze) - 1) or node_position[0] < 0 or node_position[1] > (len(maze[len(maze)-1]) -1) or node_position[1] < 0:
            continue

        # Make sure walkable terrain
        if maze[node_position[0]][node_position[1]] != 0:
            continue

        # Create new node
        new_node = Node(current_node, node_position)

        # Append
        children.append(new_node)
        ## children apenas contém os nós que correspondem a quadrados para o quais o agente pode andar

    # Loop through children
    for child in children:

        # Child is on the closed list
        for closed_child in closed_list:
            if child == closed_child:

                continue

        # Create the f, g, and h values
        child.g = current_node.g + 1
        child.h = ((child.position[0] - end_node.position[0]) ** 2) + ((child.position[1] - end_node.position[1]) ** 2)
        child.f = child.g + child.h

        # Child is already in the open list
        for open_node in open_list:
            if child == open_node and child.g > open_node.g:
                continue

        # Add the child to the open list
        open_list.append(child)

´´´

A: This is not working becouse u have 2 misstake
 for closed_child in closed_list:
        if child == closed_child:
            continue

and
for open_node in open_list:
        if child == open_node and child.g > open_node.g:
            continue

operator continue exits iner for. You should use another type for open_list and closed_list.

Reduce Waste Through Effective Recycling Strategies in Singapore
Recycling is a process of transforming used materials or objects into new products to prevent environmental pollution and conserve resources. It is an important component of sustainable development, which helps to reduce the consumption of natural resources and energy while protecting the environment. In this article, we will discuss the definition of recycling, as well as explore its current state in Singapore.
Definition of Recycling
Recycling involves collecting and processing materials that are no longer needed or wanted so that they can be used again for their original purpose or transformed into new products. This process includes collecting materials from households, sorting them according to their composition, cleaning them up, and reprocessing them into usable items such as paper pulp for making new paper products. It also includes transforming old materials such as plastic bottles into pellets for manufacturing other plastics-based products like clothing or furniture.
Types of Recycling Companies in Singapore
A recycling company in Singapore is a great way to reduce waste and preserve natural resources. In Singapore, there are two types of companies that specialize in recycling: private waste collectors/recyclers and non-profit organizations (NGOs). Each of these types of companies has different services and goals.
Private Waste Collectors/Recyclers are businesses that collect, sort, process, and sell materials for reuse or recycling. These companies provide services such as metal collection, paper collection, glass collection, plastic collection and more. They also offer specialized services such as hazardous material disposal or e-waste recycling. The goal of these private companies is to make a profit by providing quality recycling services to their customers.
Non-Profit Organizations (NGOs) are organizations that focus on creating positive change for the environment through sustainability initiatives. NGOs usually run campaigns that encourage people to recycle more as well as organize events such as beach cleanups or educational activities about the importance of reducing waste and preserving resources. They also often partner with other organizations in order to reach more people with their message of sustainability and conservation efforts. The main goal of NGOs is not making a profit but rather making sure the environment is taken care off properly so future generations can benefit from it too.
Overview of Recycling in Singapore
In Singapore, there is currently an emphasis on increasing recycling rates across all sectors – residential homes, commercial businesses and industrial facilities alike – with several initiatives being implemented by the government over recent years. These include introducing more segregated waste bins in public areas; providing educational campaigns to raise awareness about recycling practices.
Regulations and Policies on Recycling Companies in Singapore
The Singapore government has been enforcing regulations and policies on recycling companies in the country in recent years. The aim of these measures is to ensure that all recyclable materials are collected, processed and disposed of responsibly with minimal environmental impact.
Recycling companies in Singapore must adhere to strict rules and guidelines set by the national Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA). These include proper waste segregation, collection, transport and disposal procedures. Companies must also meet certain standards for their recycling processes such as using efficient equipment and ensuring that all materials are properly separated out before being sent for processing.
Companies are required to comply with local laws regarding hazardous waste handling and disposal. This includes the proper storage of hazardous materials until they can be safely transported away from the premises for disposal or reuse. Companies must also get a license from NEPA before they can start operations as a recycler.
To further reduce their environmental impact, some companies have implemented additional measures such as investing in energy-efficient equipment or installing solar panels on their premises to reduce electricity consumption during work hours. Some have even taken steps to reduce water usage by collecting rainwater for use in cleaning activities or other purposes instead of relying on tap water alone.
Benefits of Working with a Recycling Company in Singapore
The recycling industry in Singapore is growing rapidly as the country strives to become a more sustainable nation. As more companies are looking for ways to reduce their environmental footprint, the need for reliable and efficient recycling services is growing. Working with a professional recycling company in Singapore can provide many benefits that help both businesses and the environment.
Working with a recycling company allows businesses to divert valuable resources from landfills or incineration facilities. Recycling companies are able to collect waste materials such as paper, plastic, metal and glass and process them into new products that can be reused or sold. This helps reduce waste while also providing economic benefits such as reduced disposal costs and increased revenue from selling reclaimed materials.
Working with a professional recycling company in Singapore ensures compliance with local regulations on waste management. The country has strict laws regarding how solid waste should be handled, including procedures for proper collection, sorting and disposal of different types of materials. Companies must ensure they are following these regulations or face hefty penalties from the government's National Environment Agency (NEA). Working with experienced professionals who understand local laws helps businesses avoid costly legal issues while still doing their part to protect the environment.
Challenges Faced by the Recycling Industry in Singapore
As the world grapples with the challenge of reducing waste to protect our environment, recycling is more important than ever. Singapore is no exception; the country has been actively promoting waste management and recycling initiatives for decades. However, challenges still remain that threaten to slow down or even impede the progress of Singapore's recycling industry.
One of the biggest challenges faced by recyclers in Singapore is a lack of public awareness and engagement. Despite numerous campaigns designed to promote environmental consciousness, many people are still unaware of how their actions can have an impact on sustainability efforts. As a result, participation in recycling activities remains low and there is not enough pressure on government bodies and businesses to take tangible steps towards encouraging more sustainable practices.
Another key challenge faced by recyclers in Singapore is limited access to resources such as infrastructure and technology needed for efficient collection and processing of recyclable materials. Collection systems are often inadequate or inefficiently implemented resulting in high rates of contamination which reduces the quality of recycled materials available for reuse or resale purposes. Additionally, proper separation techniques need to be employed at both home as well as commercial facilities but lack of awareness hinders this from happening properly most times leading to further contamination problems when these materials enter into sorting processes at various points along their journey.
In conclusion, Singapore recycling companies are a great way to help the environment by reducing waste and reusing resources. It is important to research each company carefully before making any decisions. The list of Singapore recycling companies provided in this article is a great starting point for anyone looking to get involved with recycling in the country. Not only will you be able to find out more about what each company offers but you can also make sure that they are reliable and certified by the local authorities. Recycling is an important part of building a sustainable future and these companies can help you do your part.

Death Race is een Amerikaanse sciencefiction-actiefilm uit 2008 onder regie van Paul W.S. Anderson. De productie is een remake van Death Race 2000 uit 1975, dat op haar beurt werd gebaseerd op het korte verhaal The Racer van schrijver Ib Melchior over een dystopische toekomst. De film werd genomineerd voor een Taurus World Stunt Award in de categorie 'beste stunt met vuur' en bijrolspeelster Joan Allen voor een Saturn Award.

Death Race 2 kwam uit op 18 januari 2011 en is verhaaltechnisch een prequel.

Verhaal

In een fictief 2012 belandt de werkgelegenheid in de Verenigde Staten op een dieptepunt terwijl de gevangenissen volstromen. Commerciële instellingen nemen de macht over de huizen van bewaring over. Zij gebruiken hun nieuwe positie om death races ('dodenritten') in het leven te roepen. Hierin leggen veroordeelde criminelen een race-parcours af in zwaar bewapende en gepantserde racewagens, terwijl alles is toegestaan om de concurrentie van de winst af te houden, inclusief dodelijk geweld. Deze wedstrijden worden uitgezonden in een goedbekeken televisieprogramma.

Jensen Ames (Jason Statham) is een voormalig gedetineerde en ex-racekampioen die tegenwoordig hard werkt om zijn vrouw Suzy (Janaya Stephens) en kind te onderhouden. Hij komt voor een probleem te staan als de staalfabriek waarvoor hij werkt failliet gaat en de $300 dollar die hij meekrijgt zijn laatste loon vormt. Als hij thuiskomt, spreekt zijn echtgenote haar vertrouwen in hem uit en drukt hem op het hart dat ze altijd van hem zal houden. Terwijl Ames zich boven gaat wassen, wordt zij belaagd door een bivakmuts dragende man. Wanneer Ames weer beneden komt, ziet hij haar met een bloedend hoofd op de keukenvloer liggen. Wanneer hij zich omdraait, wordt hij door haar belager bedwelmd met gas, om even later wakker te worden met een bebloed mes in zijn hand en rooddoordrenkte kleren.

Zes maanden later zit Ames veroordeeld voor moord in een zwaarbewaakte afdeling van een gevangenis tussen de moordenaars en andere zware criminelen. Hij wordt er belaagd door een neonazistische bende waarvan leider Pachenko (Max Ryan) belooft hem af te maken. Wanneer Ames hem te lijf gaat, wordt hij naar directrice Hennessey (Joan Allen) gebracht. Ze legt hem uit wat de death races zijn en dat daarin een bijna legendarische coureur rondrijdt genaamd Frankenstein. Wat de gedetineerden niet weten, is dat deze tijdens zijn laatste confrontatie met Machine Gun Joe Mason (Tyrese Gibson) is verongelukt. Hennessy biedt Ames aan de nieuwe Frankenstein te worden. Aangezien deze zijn gezicht achter een masker verborgen hield, zal de concurrentie de persoonsverwisseling niet bemerken. Als hij niet meewerkt, moet hij onbewaakt terug naar zijn cel tussen de bendeleden die hem willen vermoorden. Ames weigert in eerste instantie toch, tot Hennessy hem het beloningssysteem uitlegt. Een racer die vijf races wint, wordt in vrijheid gesteld. Frankenstein heeft er tot dat moment vier achter zijn naam geschreven.

Ames wordt voorgesteld aan zijn technische team, met daarin de levende encyclopedie Lists (Frederick Koehler) en teambaas Coach (Ian McShane). Zij werkten met de oorspronkelijke Frankenstein en helpen hem de persoonsverwisseling geheim te houden. Officieel is Ames dan ook 'Frankensteins monteur'. Tijdens de eerste fase van de race maakt hij kennis met de uit de vrouwengevangenis overgebrachte Elizabeth Case (Natalie Martinez), Frankensteins voormalige navigator in de auto en nu die van hem. Het duurt niet lang voordat Ames erachter komt hoe de vork in de steel zit wanneer hij goed naar zijn mederacers kijkt. Zijn echtgenote is vermoord door niemand anders dan concurrent Pachenko, die in opdracht van gevangenisdirectrice Hennessey handelde. Zij had na het overlijden van de oorspronkelijke Frankenstein een nieuwe coureur nodig om hem op te volgen. Ze wil zo de kijkcijfers van de race hoog houden en daarmee haar inkomsten groot. Het is alleen niet haar bedoeling dat Ames ooit levend de gevangenis uitkomt, evenmin als wie dan ook.

Achtergrond
In maart 2002 onthulde regisseur Paul W.S. Anderson dat hij bezig was met een remake van Death Race 2000 (1975) onder de werktitel Death Race 3000. Paramount Pictures, die ook de originele film distribueerde voor televisie, zou de film gaan uitbrengen. Het scenario was geschreven door J. F. Lawton. De remake zou worden geproduceerd door Tom Cruise en Paula Wagner.

Anderson gaf al gelijk aan dingen te zullen veranderen aan het scenario uit de originele film. Zo ging de film zich verder in de toekomst afspelen en zou de race over de hele wereld worden gehouden in plaats van enkel door Amerika. Deze beslissing werd mede gemaakt om de auto's een futuristische uiterlijk te kunnen geven met meer wapens zoals raketten, krachtvelden en zelfs transformerende onderdelen

Cruise was niet tevreden met de eerste twee versies van het scenario. In juni 2006 meldde producer Jeremy Bolt dat Anderson de film zou gaan regisseren nadat hij klaar was met zijn film Resident Evil: Extinction (2007). Augustus dat jaar eindigde de samenwerking tussen Tom Cruise en Paramount, waardoor Paramount de film niet langer wilde uitbrengen. Universal Studios kocht de film over.

In april 2007 begonnen onderhandelingen met acteur Jason Statham voor het vertolken van de hoofdrol. De opnames voor de film begonnen in Montreal in augustus 2007.

David Carradine sprak de stem in van de gemaskerde Frankenstein, het personage dat hij in het originele Death Race 2000 ook speelde.

Ontvangst
De film werd door critici ontvangen met gemengde reacties. Op Rotten Tomatoes scoort de film 42% aan goede beoordelingen. and a rating of 41 out of 100 on Metacritic. De meeste critici vonden het origineel beter dan de remake. Ook vonden veel critici dat de film het te veel moest hebben van de actie.

Muziek
De muziek voor Death Race werd gecomponeerd door Paul Haslinger, die het grootste deel van de muziek opnam met het Hollywood Studio Symphony.

Het nummer Click Clack van Slim Thug is ook in de film te horen evenals Radar Love van de Nederlandse rockband Golden Earring.

Prijzen en nominaties
In 2009 werd Death Race genomineerd voor twee prijzen:
 De Saturn Award voor beste vrouwelijke bijrol (Joan Allen)
 De Taurus Award voor beste vuurstunt.

How Will the New Internet Law Will Affect Us?
President El Sisi approved the new internet law which will apply cyber-surveillance on all of the country's internet.
The new law will prohibit users to share any news about the country's army or police forces, as well as anything that promotes or defends terrorist organizations.
In addition, the president of criminal courts will be asked to look for leads that prove the involvement of any person in a criminal act, if needed.
So how will this new law affect us all?
The internet won't be a safe environment as it used to be to share all our views and points of views when it comes to politics.
There are always two sides of a coin. luckily, cyberbullying will now come to an end after this aggressive new law; or at least it will be less than before. We might say that it will be a much safer community.
Because the government is now taking all its precautions and eliminating any risk that arises from the internet. People won't be susceptible to the brainwashing of terrorists, because it won't be even possible to recruit them.
Now, that people know that they are being watched, they won't share false info and mislead the whole community. Yes, social media platforms are not reliable sources, yet the majority of people depend on them. Now people will surely think twice before sharing anything at all.
This law is targeting certain people, yet everyone will be affected by it.

So what role does a Mentor play in a Start Up?
A mentor will start by introducing you to potential customers, partners, investors and even employees. Owing to their wealth of experience, they will usually know a lot of people who can be of tremendous help in growing your business. Once you have a strong network of people, you are in a better position to leverage that to your benefit.
The biggest challenge that a first-time entrepreneur face is to understand and grasp the complexities of business. A mentor eases that pain by aiding in creating business plans, revenue models, cost structures etc. A business plan is the starting point for any businessman, and many seem to stumble to get this right. Once this is taken care of, it becomes easier to then follow the plan and move ahead.
Entrepreneurship can be a journey with ups and downs. And the downs can sometimes pull you behind. A mentor, in such situations, can help keep your motivation up with their constant reassurance and support. They help you take tough calls by standing by your side.
With their valuable connections, occasional checks and tips and advice, you are more likely to succeed in your entrepreneurial journey. The more you develop and nurture this connection, the better are the chances of sustenance for your start up.
According to a report, 70% of mentored businesses survived longer than 5 years vis-à-vis 30% of businesses which did not survive beyond 24 months of their inception. Hence, having a mentor can be a game-changer for you and your business.
Successful business today entails a low-cost and high growth business model. In such a case, your mentor is your greatest resource. Leveraging their talent and experience is what will eventually contribute to the growth of your business.

Q: How to delete a Sagemaker Ground Truth Labeling Job? How can I delete an Amazon Sagemaker Ground Truth Labeling Job?
Can't find that option on the console.

A: Unfortunately, it is not possible to delete a Labeling Job.
I've also had a similar issue and was wondering if there was a way to do it through the console, SDK or CLI. I spoke to a cloud support engineer and this is in his own words:
At the moment it is not possible to delete a Labeling Job from
console, CLI or SDK. If the Job is "In Progress" you can stop the job
to avoid further labeling and charges associated with it.

If you are concerned about charges, the engineer did assure me that failed and completed jobs will not be charged.
You will only charged for the following:

*

*1- Worker charges if you are using Public or Vendor workforce.

*2- S3 storage charges for the input and output data

*3- Fixed price per labeled object. https://aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/groundtruth/pricing/

Yoga & Pilates in Harrogate, with Yoga Teacher Training and Ayurveda Yoga Retreats.
Show submenu for What We Offer
Anne-Marie and her family discovered a distinguished property in the prestigious Duchy area of the spa town of Harrogate in the Summer of 2001. After a career in education, Anne-Marie's ever growing interest in the power of health and wellbeing saw her teach health education to schools, aerobics, Pilates and then Nidra and Restorative Yoga (Her style is based on the Seven Spiritual Laws of Yoga as taught at the Chopra Centre for Wellbeing). With an ever-growing private client base, she had found her forever premises.
Some nearly twenty years later and Anne-Marie's son, James joins her. His own spiritual journey took him to India where he initially taught English to Tibetan Monks and thereafter was given a grant by the Indian High Commission to study Indian Philosophy and Comparative Religion in the holy city of Varanasi. James's love for Yoga was born in Asia and when he returned home, he brought back with him a wealth of knowledge on Ashtanga Yoga, Meditation and so much more. The centre has evolved over time and has become a hub of the community, we recognise expertise in all of the many disciplines we champion here at the centre and are delighted to welcome so many inspirational practitioners, including Chris, Anne-Marie's husband who leads our Tai Chi practice. With so much to offer the community, we're constantly reinventing ourselves, but the unique and unparalleled experience we give your clients, will always remain.

Q: I want to read a text file called input.txt(some name) and segregate the even and odd words into two different files names even.txt and odd.txt Here is the code for the same .
Problem am facing is , am not able to write any thing on any of the files.
Kindly help resolving this
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()

{
  FILE *fe;
  FILE *fo;
  FILE *fg;
  int i;
  int j,l;
  char ch;
  char tmp[100] ;

 fo = fopen("oddfile.txt","a");
 if (fo == NULL)
 {
  perror("ODDFILE");
 }
 fclose(fo);

 fe = fopen("evenfile.txt","a");
 if (fe == NULL)
 {
  perror("EVENFILE");
 }
 fclose(fe);

 fg = fopen("generalfile","r");
 if (fg == NULL)
 {
  perror("GENERALFILE");
 }

 while(ch = fgetc(fg)!=EOF)
 {
    if (ch != '\n' && ch != 't' && ch != ' ')
    {
        tmp[i] = ch;
        i++;
    }

    else
    {
        printf("%s",tmp);
        l =strlen(tmp);
        j = l % 2;
        if (j == 0)
        {
          fe = fopen("evenfile.txt","ab");
            if (fe == NULL)
            {
                perror("EVENFILE");
             }

         fwrite(&tmp,sizeof(tmp),1,fe);
         fclose(fe);

        }

        else
        {
            fo = fopen("oddfile.txt","ab");
            if (fo == NULL)
             {
                perror("ODDFILE");
             }
         fwrite(&tmp,sizeof(tmp),1,fo);
         fclose(fo);

        }
    }

 }

}

My code is compiling successfully but not able to get the desired output

A: Change:
 while(ch = fgetc(fg)!=EOF)

to
 while( (ch = fgetc(fg)) !=EOF)

The precedence rules make the two behave differently.  The way you have it coded, ch is always set to either 0 or 1, neither of which is a printable character.
There's no reason to open the files multiple times.  Just open each output file once before the loop.  You would be wise to use fprintf rather than fwrite, and don't use the size of tmp as the length; you already calculated the length of the string, so use it!  You might also want to write a newline or some separator after each word.  And you really need to check for stack overflow and handle it if the input contains large words.  Blindly assuming that your input words will fit into a 100 character array is a disaster waiting to happen.  Just slightly worse than failing to put a null character at the end of the input and calling strlen on a character array that may not be a string.  (Which is another bug you have: you need to write a NULL into tmp at the end of the input.)
Also note that it is quite annoying to get an error message which reads:
ODDFILE: no such file or directory

if the file that the program actually cares about is not called "ODDFILE".
And, finally (although it is entirely possible there are more bugs in this short program), it would be a great idea to stop relying on behavior that exists in compilers merely for the purpose of conforming to standard practices from 1983.  Declare the main function properly as int main( void ), or (even better) use int main( int argc, char **argv) and allow the caller to specify input file names.  And return a value from main!  Turn up your compiler warnings as well, since they will give you useful information.


Often considered as one of the most rewarding yet challenging courses, Medicine is consistently at the forefront of the enterprising student's mind.
There are many reasons to study Medicine overseas. The quality of a country's healthcare is typically a primary consideration, as is the quality of education. Affordability may be another motivator to studying abroad. Also, competition for places can be fierce and so applying for courses overseas can be an easier pathway to graduation.
Studying Medicine abroad is a good option for some, but won't be right for everyone. It should not be considered an 'easy' option. You will be signing up to study a challenging degree in another country for (at least) five to six years of your life. You will also have to learn the language of the country you are studying in, because, while your studies and exams may be in your native language, you will be communicating with patients in their native language.
Nevertheless, the rewards for studying Medicine overseas can be immense, personally and professionally. If you are considering it, take a closer look at our Guide to Studying Medicine Overseas.
Medicine encompasses a variety of healthcare practices that have evolved to maintain and restore health. Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease, typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, biologics and others.
Medicine has existed for thousands of years, oftentimes connected to the religious and philosophical beliefs of local culture. In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science). While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice, the knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
Prescientific forms of medicine are now known as traditional medicine and folk medicine. They remain commonly used with or instead of scientific medicine and are thus called alternative medicine.
There are over 60 specialist areas of medicine, and the degree can be applied to many other roles if you so choose. Medicine graduates can mix and match those specialisms in a way that most interests them, giving the degree a lot of variability.
There is also a lot of job satisfaction with medicine, as aiding a patient or developing a new treatment can bring immense joy and a feeling that you are making a difference.
Medicine is often considered a difficult degree and so it is well respected generally. More so, the work done by Medicine graduates frequently requires constant learning as new discoveries are found. Medicine truly is an area of study in which you will work at the forefront of knowledge.
Studying medicine is a big commitment. A university level course will typically require five, six or more years of study, as well as additional training. This additional training can typically include work experience and securing placements may be challenging.
Most that choose Medicine will consider becoming a doctor their primary path. It's important therefore to recognise what being a doctor is like. A proficient doctor will be scientifically literate and a good people person. Being a doctor can be highly stressful. It often requires long working hours and sometimes through the night. There will be times when you will be unable to help patients and you will have to give terrible, painful news to others.
To understand what it takes to study medicine, as well as become a doctor, we recommend you follow the blogs of medical students, read case studies of the lives of doctors and get some medical work experience, no matter how small; perhaps at a local care centre or home for the elderly.
Medicine combines healthcare, science and supporting people. If you lack enthusiasm in one of these areas, or don't believe you can develop the necessary qualities, you could consider a different role. If you enjoy healthcare, perhaps becoming a dentist, nurse or paramedic may be preferable. If you like science, consider research, diagnostics and treatment recommendation. Those who wish to support people can look for charity or government work.
What do you like doing? How do you like to spend your time? What don't you like and why? Think about what is going to get the best out of you and give you the most satisfaction.
Think about what matters to you most. Having responsibility? Variety? People contact? Having good work-life balance? Thinking about things like this can provide you with worthwhile insights into how possible options 'fit' with your values.
Imagine a typical day doing each role. Does the typical day of a doctor sound like you? Do you want to be in that role?
If you think you will make a good doctor, prioritise what you need to do and put dates on when you will want these things done by. Tell people about your actions and tell them how they can provide encouragement and support. Taking a structured approach and knowing that you did everything you possibly could can be really worth the time invested into making a well informed decision.
Studying medicine comes with a certain expectation to work harder on average than most other students. There are generally more contact hours than other subjects with practicals and lectures taking up a great deal of time. Of course it's not just the contact hours when you are working: lecture notes need to be read over, essays have to be written, practicals should be prepared for and keeping on top of it all can be a challenge.
There's also a reasonable amount of pressure to pass exams. In most other subjects you study for the best grade possible. Obviously this is true to an extent in medicine, but there are additional challenges: the very high pass marks for the exams you have to pass in order to become a doctor. By passing these you are essentially being certified as competent enough in a subject area to continue towards a professional medical career. Passing these exams can often require cramming a great deal of knowledge in a small space of time and this can be stressful, but the reward after exams is a long summer to enjoy.
But don't panic, medicine can be challenging but you'll still have plenty of time to enjoy being a student, an experience that many people say is the best time of their life. The level of work in the course is such that you will have time to make the most out of other activities at university, such as sports, music and the huge range of other societies that are on offer. All that you need to do in order to manage these other activities is be efficient with the time you spend working; don't spend a whole afternoon watching YouTube videos if you know you have a music rehearsal that evening. University is about a lot more than simply gaining a degree, you will learn a lot about yourself and other people and hopefully build yourself into someone who is capable of being a good doctor.
Other transferable skills include written and oral communication, from completing assignments, taking histories and writing medical reports. You will also be able to work in a team, understanding your role and responsibilities. Similarly, you will learn key skills in how to lead a team and assign tasks.
As measured by Times Higher Education, the following universities are the best for clinical studies and health sciences with regards to a Medicine degree.
As may be expected, the UK and USA dominate the top 20, though the rest of North America, Europe and Asia are well represented in the top 100.
For a complete list of medical schools, visit the World Directory of Medical Schools, an excellent resource listing each institution and its details.
The study of medicine varies greatly around the world. In the US, medicine is studied in graduate school after completing an undergraduate degree that is not directly related to medicine. Elsewhere, such as in the UK, students can enrol for undergraduate clinical degrees.
Wherever you study, almost all clinical degrees span a good number of years – more than non-clinical courses.
When you have decided in which country (or continent) in which to study, you should research the medical schools within that area. Medical schools and degrees aren't as numerous as typical universities, which limits the number of options, but which also makes it easier to decide which to apply to.
You should then check entry requirements and fees, see what others say about the experience at your preferred institutions. If possible, visit your preferred city to see if you would enjoy living there for six or more years.
There are currently 33 institutions that offer medical degrees in the United Kingdom. Completion of a medical degree in the UK results in the award of the degrees of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery. Admission requirements to the schools varies; most insist on solid A-Levels, or equivalent, strong English skills a good performance in an aptitude test such as the UKCAT, the BMAT or the GAMSAT, and usually an interview.
In the U.S., medical degrees are split into two programs: Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) that regard the body as an integrated whole, as opposed to specific symptom treatment and Medical Doctors (M.D.), that use Allopathic medicine (or 'Western medicine') that treat symptoms with drugs and surgery. There are 141 M.D. programs and 30 D.O. in the United States.
Admission to medical school in the United States is based mainly on a GPA, MCAT score, admissions essay, interview, clinical work experience and volunteering activities, along with research and leadership roles in an applicant's history.
While obtaining an undergraduate degree is not an explicit requirement for a few medical schools, virtually all admitted students have earned at least a bachelor's degree. A few medical schools offer pre-admittance to students directly from high school by linking a joint 3-year accelerated undergraduate degree and a standard 4-year medical degree with certain undergraduate universities, sometimes referred to as a "7-year program", where the student receives a bachelor's degree after their first year in medical school.
In India, admission to medical colleges is organized by the central government by NTA (National Testing Agency) through tests known as NEET. Students who have successfully completed their 10+2 (Physics, Chemistry and Biology Marks are considered and PCB is mandatory) education (higher secondary school) can appear for the tests the same year.
Note that this doesn't include language qualifications, visa applications, or other traditional obstacles to overseas study.
It is necessary then, to research all the tests and applications you will have to complete and build a calendar of dates. It is challenging, but make no mistake, a Medicine degree will be far more challenging. With that being said, we wish you could luck with your application!

Who Do Members of Congress Follow on Twitter?

Twitter has become such an integral medium for political communication that, according to our count, 97 percent of members of Congress now have an official Twitter presence. But Twitter is a two-way street — you spread your message, and you listen to what others have to say. So who are members of the House and Senate (or, doubtless more often, their staffs) listening to on Twitter? Daily Intelligencer decided to find out: With help from the wizards at Twiangulate, we identified every congressional Twitter account, then analyzed which other accounts they follow most often. Read on for rankings of which news organizations, journalists, and other politicians members of Congress follow, and which congressmen and women have the most and least followers. The takeaway, on Twitter as in life: The two parties don't listen to each other very much.
Topping the overall list of most followed accounts are four D.C.-based political news outlets, which, thanks to their bipartisan appeal, are followed by around 60 percent of members of congress. But taking a look at the top twenty accounts divided by party shows zero overlap beyond the Hill, Politico, Roll Call, and CSPAN: Although they like a few of the same publications, Democrats and Republicans tend to lack interest in … each other. Also of note in the party breakdown: President Obama is only the eighth most-followed account among Democrats in Congress, which seems odd. On the Republican side, John Boehner, apparently the world's most interesting tweeter, is hogging two spots in the top ten.
Meanwhile, somewhere in his den of filth, Mike Allen is smiling. The Politico Playbook scribe is not only the most followed journalist among members of Congress as a whole, but he also tops both the Democratic and Republican charts.
Chuck Todd, Chad Pergram, Jake Tapper, Chris Cillizza, and David Gregory also enjoy relatively robust followings from both sides of the House. Otherwise, the partisan split remains here, with each party largely reading the tweets of like-minded writers and pundits. You could probably show each list unlabeled to 100 random people, and every single one would be able to guess which was the Democrat and which was the Republican chart.
Similarly, Republicans are following @RedState and @Drudge_report more than they're following @AP or @nytimes. Democrats, meanwhile, are keeping close tabs on multiple NPR accounts.
The rankings of most-followed colleagues show the starkest divide of all. Guess what? Members of Congress overwhelmingly do not follow colleagues from the opposing party. Republicans aren't too interested in what Democrats have to say, and vice versa.
But here's an interesting question to ponder: Why do Republicans demonstrate so much more consistency in who they follow? To take just one example, @SpeakerBoehner is followed by 89 percent of Republicans in congress, while @NancyPelosi is only followed by 68 percent of Democrats. The pattern is consistent throughout all of the above charts.
Is this proof of the GOP's superior party discipline, as evident in their nearly lockstep opposition to the Obama agenda? Or is the explanation more mathematical? For whatever reason, Republican members of Congress follow a median of 573 accounts each versus a mere 451 accounts followed by Democrats. The greater number of accounts each member follows, the more likely they are to follow the same accounts.
Some members of Congress are certainly more follow-happy than others. Paul Ryan, for example, follows exactly one account — @NationalDebt — while Darrell Issa leads the GOP by following 38,335 accounts. But Al Franken tops them all, following a whopping 45,779 accounts. You're good enough, you're smart enough, and doggone it, Al Franken likes you.
Enough about who members of Congress are following: Let's take a quick look at how many people are following members of Congress. In this straight-up popularity contest, Republicans are dominating, claiming the top three spots and seven of the top ten. For all the Twitter jokes about old man John McCain imploring whippersnappers to get off his lawn, he's actually quite dominant on Twitter.
Meanwhile, the social-media prowess of some members of Congress rivals that of your local drycleaner. Democrat Joyce Beatty of Ohio holds the unfortunate title of the member of Congress with the fewest followers overall, although, to be fair, she only joined in late June, and has been tweeting pretty consistently. We're pulling for you, Congresswoman Beatty. Everyone go follow Congresswoman Beatty!

MIL-OSI USA: Schiff Statement on Passage of COVID Relief Deal
Source: United States House of Representatives – Representative Adam Schiff (D-Burbank)
Package Includes Unemployment Support for Mixed Earners and Critical Funding for Entertainment Industry
Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) released the following statement after voting in favor of the $900 billion COVID relief deal to provide millions of American families with much-needed financial support to pay rent, put food on the table, and continue weathering this economic crisis:
"As the coronavirus pandemic stretches into its tenth month, Americans are suffering through the worst public health and economic crisis in recent history, and tens of millions of Americans are in desperate need of relief," said Rep. Adam Schiff.
"The bill passed tonight will provide stimulus checks, critical support for Americans who are unemployed, help for small businesses, schools, renters and homeowners. It will provide billions to accelerate vaccinations and testing. And I am also very pleased that this package includes two critical measures that I have been advocating for months that are critical to our local economy and the nation. First, it includes an additional $100 weekly unemployment benefit for 'mixed earners' who got far too little help under the CARES Act, including thousands of workers in the entertainment industry, as well as other freelancers, contractors and gig economy workers. And the final package also includes the Save Our Stages Act, which will provide $15 billion to live entertainment venues like concert halls, comedy clubs, and independent movie theaters, so that these culturally vital institutions can survive the pandemic and keep employees on payroll.
"The relief package we passed today should have been passed months ago. But it's a significant step, and those that blocked it for so long should know that it is only a down payment on additional relief families and small businesses will need in the new year. But with the holidays approaching, and millions struggling, it was important to help get Americans back on their feet and through this long, difficult winter."
The relief package includes:
Supplemental unemployment insurance benefits of $300 per week, including self-employed, gig and contract workers, and those who earn income from a mix of traditional and independent sources;
Direct payments of $600 per adult and child for individuals making up to $75,000 per year, meaning a family of four could receive up to $2,400;
$325 billion in relief for small businesses, including $15 billion in dedicated funding to live entertainment venues, independent movie theaters, and cultural institutions;
$25 billion in emergency federal rental assistance program funding, to be distributed to states and cities;
$69 billion for COVID testing and contract tracing in states and cities, as well as vaccine distribution and support for community health care programs;
And more. View the full text of the bill here.

Powell to start collecting for sidewalk improvements
By Joshua Keeran - [email protected]
With the City of Powell's annual Sidewalk Maintenance and Replacement Program all but complete for 2017, City Council on Wednesday took the first step toward collecting payment for the work that's been done.
Council heard the first reading of an ordinance imposing assessments on properties for sidewalk repair and replacement, and certifying the assessments to the Delaware County auditor for collection.
"This is the last step in our annual sidewalk repair program where we inspect sidewalks each year," said City Manager Steve Lutz. "We have certain standards where if a sidewalk does not meet that standard, we notify the property owner. They can either repair it themselves or have the city make the repairs."
According to city records, 60 property owners elected to have the city complete all necessary repairs/replacements, which ranged in size from 18.5 square feet to 196.5 square feet. At a cost of $14 per square foot, the city completed 3,138.9 square feet of sidewalk work at a total cost of $43,944.46, all of which will be paid back by the property owners.
"We will be sending out notices where (property owners) can choose to pay off the improvement at one time and make that payment to the city, or they can choose to have an assessment placed on the property where the county actually does this," Lutz said. "It spreads the cost over five years, and the county does place a 5 percent interest rate on that assessment."
City fees addressed
Council heard the first reading of an ordinance authorizing an amendment to the city's 2018 fee schedule.
The amendment seeks to change fees in the following areas: engineering inspection, engineering plan review, public safety, and miscellaneous.
Lutz said each year department heads review the fee schedule and changes are made when needed.
"Often times we want fees to reflect the actual cost of service," he said.
Director of Finance Debra Miller highlighted several of the proposed changes, including a $150 deposit for all traffic control devices, like the traffic cones used for special events/parades.
"We will return (the deposit) once our equipment is returned back to us," she said.
Miller said the ordinance would increase the rate for a special duty officer from $40 to $43 per hour (three-hour minimum and rate doubles on holidays).
"(The hourly rate) is not only based on what our officers make, but it also looks at what other officers are making on special duty in the county so that we are pretty comparable on that rate," she said.
The proposed changes also seek to increase engineering inspection fees and plan review fees for various items.
The city's annual Candy By the Carload event, which was held on a Sunday this year instead of on a Saturday as it had been in the past, was deemed a success, Lutz said.
"It was a record-breaking attendance," he said. "It was cold, but it was dry."
The city's annual Veterans Day Ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. today in the municipal building, 47 Hall St.
Lutz said the city is "blessed" to have Craig Carmichael, a 94-year-old World War II veteran, as the scheduled keynote speaker. Due to Carmichael's age and the expected cold weather, Lutz said, the decision was made to move the ceremony from the Village Green Park to the municipal building.
Council recognized resident Jill King for donating $16,600 to the city for the purchase of automated external defibrillators (AEDs).
"We are honored and delighted (she was) able to do that to help us out," Mayor Brian Lorenz said.
Miller said the city's current AEDs are not compatible with the fire department's AEDs, and many are past their expiration date.
The donation, she added, will be used to purchase 12 new AEDs, three for the municipal building and nine for the city's police cruisers.

To date this is one of my favorite pieces. And these pictures do not do it justice. Unfortunately we could not make it to our photographer due to time restraints. But we were able to show it off at a show in Denver and deliver to our customer. This bed and nightstands was created for a long time customer that strayed from her normal choice of mesquite wood, to have something that really stood out. It was made from a beautiful exotic wood, Bubinga, with highly figured waterfall bubinga veneers on the panels. The footboard mirrors the headboard, but a little shorter. Long rails of bubinga were used to place the mattress on. The nightstands were designed around our customers needs andwe were given design leeway to make any modifications we felt necessary. The nightstands had the same veneer on the door fronts and a similar shape to tie them into the bed. This bed was a queen size, but can be made any size, with design modifications to fit any needs and any type of wood. We hope to make this same style out of mesquite with possible curly maple veneer for the panels for our mesquite festival show in TX.
