Hi everyone, last week we (my friend linux hacker beer fps master Esteban and I) were playing in my free time with the Raspberry Pi Camera Module, trying to use it via JavaCV which is the Java wrapper for OpenCV. Right now JavaCV distribution don't provide the Linux-Arm native libraries, so we decided to compile them. After going to all the process of trying to get things working in the Raspberry Pi, we arrive to a dead end. The Raspberry Pi Camera Module doesn't provide a V4L driver yet, which makes it impossible to use with JavaCV, but having the latest JavaCV compiled for the Raspberry Pi will allow you to use any other USB web cam, and in the future, when the Raspberry Pi Foundation provides the appropriate V4L driver JavaCV will be ready to use it. On this post I will also mention some other alternatives that you have, some workarounds if you really want to use the Raspberry Camera Module in one way or another.
Before staring with the compilation procedure, I would like to recommend you things that you shouldn't do in your Raspberry Pi. If you are planning to use the Face Recognition features of OpenCV/JavaCV don't install Opencv 2.3 that comes in the Raspbian repositories (meaning apt-get install opencv*). Don't do this, because this will add all the system links to libraries that JavaCV will need. We spend at least 3hs removing OpenCv-2.3, so we don't recommend that at all. We will be compiling OpenCV 2.4.5, which is the one supported by JavaCV 0.5 here and we need to keep our native libraries as clean as possible to avoid system links pointing to the wrong versions.
Where JavaCV is a just a Java Archive (jar) that we will need to add to our application as a dependency. JavaCPP is a transitive dependency of JavaCV and it contains all the Native bindings via JNI. JavaCV and JavaCPP are separate projects (at source level) and we need to compile them both. The JavaCV project also generates the JavaCV-Linux-Arm.jar file that contains the CPP (C++) compiled libraries (.so), the ones that are accessed via the JavaCPP code. This .so libraries are compiled and linked against OpenCV, and for that reason we need to make sure that we link those libraries with the correct version of OpenCV.
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -D BUILD_PYTHON_SUPPORT=OFF -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF ..
(This compilation process could take around 3/5hs.. so go for a walk or watch a couple of movies) Notice that we have disabled the Python support and the examples, so it should take less if you are not interested in those features.
This should add all the system links to the .so files installed in our system.
Now that we have compiled and installed OpenCV 2.4.5 in our Raspberry Pi, we can compile JavaCV and JavaCPP. In order to do that, you need to have Java, Maven and git installed in the Raspberry Pi. I will not go through the installation of these tools here.
Please continue reading before compiling this, because I've introduced some modifications.
This also can take some time, about 40 minutes in my Rasbperry Pi.
I've introduced a modification to the JavaCV classes related with TBB which is a module that JavaCV and OpenCV uses on Intel MultiCore machines.
This was the main reason to remove the preload=tbb from the opencv_core.java class.
After reading for a while I found out that both commands are hardly criticized to be both slow and non performant, and I guess that this was an attempt to provide something quick to use the new camera module. I'm looking forward for a proper V4L driver that enables us to access the camera as a regular cam.
As I previously mention you can use this instructions to use JavaCV with any other USB webcam.
Here you can find a Maven project that you can run inside the Raspberry Pi to recognise faces. Notice that this is using the jars compiled for linux-arm so you need to make sure that you have them in your local maven repo.
If you find any problems following these instructions, please write a comment. I would like to keep this as updated as possible until we get it working.
Yeah.. I think that you need to compile first javacpp and then javacv..
The missing interface (annotation) is in javacpp.
Excellent overall guide! As an FYI, I also referenced Michael's guide here: http://mitchtech.net/raspberry-pi-opencv/, which helped with some of the apt-get issues (for example, libavcodec53 instead of libavcodec52). I also went to OpenCV's downlaod page (http://opencv.org/downloads.html) and got the latest version (2.4.6.1 as of now). Those two additions helped me to get OpenCV installed, and your overall guide was very, very useful to me. Thank you! Also, for those with a previous version of OpenCV installed, this guide (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9276169/removing-all-installed-opencv-libs) helped me remove mine.
Thanks mate! I appreciate your feedback!
Try finding the jni.h file in your Pi and see why is not being found.
There are \n's in the sudo apt-get install list and a download link behind the wget.
I would recommend the following opencv download link, that makes sure people always download the latest version.
In your tutorial you are using the raspberry Pi Camera module.
Does it realy work ?
Thx a lot for this fantastic tutorial.
While compiling javac I'm running into an exception.
First I thought it's a missing JAVA_HOME path but adding it brought no success.
Does somebody has an idea how this can be fixed?
Great post~! I like it.
I opened the website stated in the error and found that javacpp till version 0.7. So I went to the pom.xml file in javacpp and javacv folder and changed 0.8-SNAPSHOT to 0.7-SNAPSHOT. However the error occurred but with 0.7 instead of 0.8.
Look at the output log and look from where the pom.xml file is being downloaded and check in that server if there is another alternative that can fits.
You maybe are missing from a place where the dependency and the version is declared. Use grep to see if there is another reference that might be overriding the one that you had changed.
But I cannot use the mvn due to the linux machine cannot link to Internet.
and store the javacv-linux-x86_64.jar on google cloud where i can get it.
Hi Sam, I strongly recommend you to connect your raspberry pi to the Internet, because if not you will spend a lot of time copying things. What's the problem of just connecting to the inet?
mvn clean install -Dplatform.name=linux-arm (the same for javacv directory).
Hi kevin can you use pastebin.com and share the whole error?
Hmm… that looks weird, which version of Java and Maven are you using?
OK that could be it.. I've used JDK 1.6 as far as I remember and it was the Sun/Oracle JDK not openJDK.
Can you try with that?
most of the time you can blame the JDK when it is failing the java compilation step and giving issues in places where it doesn't make sense 🙂 Have a good Sunday!
java.lang.unsatisfiedlinkerror: no jniopencv_core in java.library.path ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
Hi there, it is a complicated process, you will need to be more concrete in describing in which step are you stuck. You cannot run native libraries (so) compiled for windows inside the raspberry pi, mostly because they are different architectures. You need to make sure that you compile those native libraries and bundle them in jars so they can be found by your java application that runs inside the raspberry pi.
So what's your objective? if you want to make it work in the raspberry pi you need to read this blog post 🙂 All the compilations are done inside the raspberry pi, so you can obtain the libraries compiled using the raspberry pi architecture.
I can't find an jniopencv_core.so in any of the jars.
I have no clue what is wrong. Any help is deeply appreciated.
That error looks like the java lib and native extensions are not expecting those methods that were probably changed in version of open CV 3.0.0 that you are using.
Thanks for the reply. You were right, it was cross referencing the 2.4 files during the runtime. So.So i did a clean installation and this started working.I was able to finally compile opencv. I wanted to ask you about how you compiled the FFFmpeg and other ones. Did you make modifications in the cppbuild.sh?.
Rpi model right. Can you give some pointers as in what needs to be modified because for me the javacv compilation fails as it doesn't find threright presets jar in there.I am now forced to build all the modules.
Hey Salaboy, feels like above way does not work with the opencv 3 and javacv 1.0 running on raspberry pi model B on armv7l. Any Ideas ? Getting famous avutil class not found error.
Hi Arvind, it might be that it doesn't work with opencv 3.. you should check in the javacv project for such issues. Can you share your exact issue, is it a java issue or a C compilation issue?
Do you know how it can be resolved?
have you tried with mvn clean install -U ?
This does give you any idea where the problem may be?
I will try to install opencv 3.1.0 and see if the error still persists.
After installing opencv 3.1.0 the error still persists.
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -D BUILD_PYTHON_SUPPORT=OFF -D BUILD_EXAMPLES=OFF -D CMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/gcc -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/g++ ..
but still compilation on javacpp-presets fails with CMake Error: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER not set / CMake Error: CMAKE_C_COMPILER not set and when compiling javacv still can't resolve the dependencies.

Jen & John Double Date with the Cox-Arquettes
Courteney and David spend their anniversary with Friends in L.A.
By Beth Perry and Kate Stroup
Updated June 13, 2008 09:00 AM
It's good to have Friends.
Jennifer Aniston met up with BFF Courteney Cox for a humanitarian event at L.A.'s STK restaurant Thursday night – and both brought along the men in their lives.
John Mayer arrived just before 9 p.m., kissing Cox hello and settling next to Aniston (who wore a sleeveless black shirt, grey pants and sky-high strappy sandals). She quickly slipped her arm around him and, a few minutes later, she playfully tousled the singer's hair.
David Arquette joined them later – after catching the end of the Lakers-Celtics game at the front bar – and the group sat chatting over glasses wine. It was a cozy anniversary celebration for Cox and Arquette, who were married June 12, 1999.
After the STK dinner and event, which was hosted by OmniPeace founder Mary Fanaro and sponsored by Kitson, the group headed next door to Coco de Ville for the OmniPeace event honoring Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, co-founder of the anti-poverty organization Millennium Promise.
Aniston greeted Sachs – famous for his philanthropic work with Angelina Jolie – with a warm hug, and the two sat in intense conversation for more than 20 minutes. (Later, Aniston and Mayer discreetly held hands under the table while catching up with Cox and Arquette.)
"[Jen] is absolutely wonderful," Sachs told PEOPLE later. "She knows that she reaches so many people and is eager to contribute in many ways. It was absolutely fantastic to speak with her."
As for some of his other celebrity supporters – Jolie and Aniston's ex, Brad Pitt – the author of Millennium Promise offered glowing praise.
"They're so much fun and so committed," he said. "Angie is just boundless energy, creativity, endlessly so … And Brad is so committed as well with what he's been doing in New Orleans on environmental issues. It's phenomenal."

Ok, sometimes spelled Oak or Ock, is an uncommon Korean family name, a single-syllable Korean given name, and an element in some two-syllable Korean given names. It is usually written with a hanja meaning "jade".
The 2000 South Korean census found 22,964 people with the surname Ok. They belonged to a single bon-gwan, Seonryeong (宣寧), in what is today Hongseong County, Chungcheongnam-do, South Korea. In a study by the National Institute of the Korean Language based on 2007 application data for South Korean passports, it was found that 84.8% of people with this surname spelled it in Latin letters as Ok in their passports, while another 9.0% spelled it as Ock. Rarer alternative spellings (the remaining 6.2%) included Oak and Ohk.
People with this family name include:
Ok Kwan-bin (died 1933), Korean independence activist
Simon Ok Hyun-jin (born 1968), South Korean Roman Catholic priest, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Gwangju
Ock Joo-hyun (born 1980), South Korean singer, former member of Fin.K.L

OK is the debut release of tabla player and music producer Talvin Singh, and it was nine months in the making. The title was chosen because of the universality of the word "OK", which can be understood almost anywhere in the world. It is mostly a reinterpretation of Indian classical music with flute, sitar, and tabla. The album won him the Mercury Music Prize for 1999, but has sold only 90,000 copies in the United Kingdom, charting at #41, making it one of the smallest sellers in the award's history.

Continue the ascent to the Wao Lāʻau.
Continuing our ascent along the ala ʻūlili, we enter the wao maʻukele. This region is part of the wao akua, and is characterized by its dense rain forests, dominated primarily by large ʻōhiʻa lehua, koa, olopua, kōpiko, kōlea, and hāpuʻu. Here, "poʻe kāwili manu," bird catchers, came to catch such valued birds as the ʻiʻiwi, ʻōʻō, and mamo whose feathers were gathered and utilized in making ʻahuʻula and mahiole for the aliʻi.
For over a century, the wao maʻukele regions of Kūkaʻiau, Koholālele, and Kaʻohe were utilized for cattle ranching and sugar planting. These land use practices have been the causes of much deforestation in the wao maʻukele, leaving small kīpuka of rain forest scattered along gulches and steep ridges, where cattle, and tractors couldn't get to them.

This can be used to arrange landscapes, for example placing mountains far away without forcing them to become tiny.
The 64-bit Windows version of Anime Studio Pro 9.5 will now use Media Foundation. It is no longer necessary to install QuickTime to import popular audio and video formats like MP3, AAC, MP4, and QuickTime. When exporting animations on Windows 7 and higher, the application can create movies using the Windows Media Foundation media library. When exporting animations on Windows XP and higher, the application can create movies using the DirectShow media library.
Enhancement to bones now allows you to add labels and assign colors to bones. The keyframes for colored bones show up in the timeline in special colored channels to match.
Bones can now control the children of their children. If you have a group inside a bone layer and then vector layers inside that group, the bone layer can manipulate the artwork in those vector layers if nested layer control is turned on. This allows for more powerful rigging options, while simultaneously simplifying and allow more organization in the layer hierarchy.
Flexi-Binding allows you to isolate the influence of a set of bones from the rest of the skeleton. For example, only the right arm bones should affect the artwork for the right arm. This lessens (or eliminates) the need to separate artwork on frame zero, and then put it back together again with the Offset Bone tool. This is a great new feature for images and vectors.
Improvements to Styles now allow you to see real-time changes to shape's fill color, stroke color, brush settings, etc. on the canvas so you can see exactly what effect your changes will have.
The updated and improved Eyedropper has options to just select fill color or stroke color, or copy a color to the clipboard.
Improvements to switch layer behavior will allow them to work better for frame-by-frame animation.
If the children of a switch layer have layer colors assigned, then when those children are active, the corresponding keys in the timeline will have the same color. This makes it easier to see what switch layer is active at what time with a quick glance.
To change a switch layer¡¯s active child, you can now simply Alt+Cmd+right click on it in the workspace. No need to select it in the Layers palette.
Brushes sometimes tended to bunch up, especially around pointy corners. The brush spacing is now much more even, including when the curviness of a shape is animated over time.
This can clear up the visual clutter on the screen when you want to mostly concentrate on a single object.
Layer shading now has an option to invert the shading, so instead of making a layer look shaded, it now can also look like it has a rim highlight.
This makes it easy to see when masking is in effect, as well as what contribution each layer has to a mask.
Layers that follow a path get an indicator on top of their icon in the Layers palette.
You can now control the amount of tapering at the beginning and end of a stroke.
Convert a spherical panorama image into a 3D sphere that can be viewed from any angle with the camera tools.
Turn a fisheye image into a curved, wide-angle surface that can be panned around with the camera tools.
Allows the user to create repeating texture patterns to fill the workspace (they can be animated as well).

Les Olympiades (1969-1977) sont l'opération immobilière la plus emblématique des théories urbanistiques appliquées à la rénovation urbaine du secteur Italie 13 à Paris. Conçu par l'architecte en chef Michel Holley assisté par André Martinat, cette "ville dans la ville" comprend six tours de logement privé (Sapporo, Mexico, Athènes, Helsinki, Cortina et Tokyo), deux tours de logement ILN (Londres et Anvers), trois immeubles HLM en forme de barres (Rome, Grenoble et Squaw Valley), ainsi que des commerces (galerie Mercure et centre commercial Oslo) et des bureaux (Olympie, Oslo). S'y trouvent également des équipements publics, à savoir le Stadium, l'école maternelle Les Olympiades et la crèche collective municipale du Javelot.

L'îlot est bordé par les rues Baudricourt et de Tolbiac au nord, la rue Nationale à l'est, la rue Regnault au sud et l'avenue d'Ivry à l'ouest. La dalle des Olympiades, construction autonome sur plusieurs niveaux dans laquelle on trouve des réseaux ainsi que des parcs de stationnement, est accessible aux piétons par plusieurs accès: l'un au nord-ouest à l'angle des rues Baudricourt et de Tolbiac, l'un au nord sur la rue de Tolbiac juste en face de l'Université du même nom, un autre sur la rue Nationale, un accès depuis la rue Regnault et enfin un dernier depuis l'avenue d'Ivry. L'accès des véhicules se fait par deux rues souterraines, la rue du Disque et la rue du Javelot.

Une station de la ligne 14 du métro, Olympiades, l'arrêt Porte d'Ivry du tramway francilien ainsi qu'un ensemble de lignes de bus lient le quartier au réseau de transports communs régional.

Naissance et évolution
Dans les années 1950 l'architecte Raymond Lopez réalise une enquête sur îlots susceptibles d'être rénovés dans la capitale. Ce travail s'inscrit dans un travail collectif qui donne lieu à un ensemble de décrets le  visant à organiser la rénovation urbaine du pays. Il participe également à la promulgation du Plan d'urbanisme directeur de Paris en 1967 en sachant que le plan était en réalité effectif depuis 1961.

Michel Holley, collaborateur de longue date de Raymond Lopez, avec qui il travaille sur le quartier du Front de Seine dans le , constitue l'atelier de rénovation urbaine de la Soteru dont il est architecte en chef aux côtés d'Albert Ascher urbaniste en chef.

Il travaille alors avec la SNCF, propriétaire des terrains de la gare de marchandises des Gobelins (1903), raccordée à la petite ceinture ferroviaire de Paris. En échange de la livraison d'une nouvelle gare enterrée sur deux niveaux, la SNCF a cédé les droits à construire en sursol et en périphérie à l'Office public HLM de Paris et à la Société de Nationale de Construction (SNC). Rachetée par la banque Rothschild, cette entreprise de gros œuvre a ensuite revendu l'ensemble des droits à construire correspondant au volet privé de l'opération à la SAGO (Société d'aménagement de l'îlot Gobelins Nord), entité juridique dédiée à l'opération et contrôlée par la banque Rothschild. Seul le niveau supérieur de la nouvelle gare était desservi par le rail, celui inférieur faisant office d'entrepôt.

Le permis de construire des Olympiades (îlot Gobelins Nord) est déposé en , définitivement approuvé en , donnant lieu à la délivrance du permis de construire de cet îlot ainsi que celui d'Italie-Vandrezanne (Galaxie). Les premiers terrassements commencent en 1970 et la livraison des trois premières tours (Sapporo, Mexico, Athènes) a lieu en 1972. Les tours Helsinki, Cortina et Tokyo seront livrées en 1976.

En , à la suite de la mort de Georges Pompidou et l'arrivée au pouvoir de Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, le plan d'urbanisme du secteur Italie est remis en cause et occasionne l'annulation du permis de construire de la tour Apogée. En réalité Olivier Guichard, ministre de l'Equipement et du Logement avait rédigé une circulaire le  qui allait sonner la fin de la réalisation de grands ensembles en France et les formes urbaines qui y sont généralement associées. Dans ce contexte qui donnera lieu à la loi Barre de 1977 qui va marquer un désengagement de l'État de la construction de logement social avec le passage de l'aide à la pierre à l'aide à la personne, l'urbanisme de dalle des Olympiades n'est plus d'actualité.

Cédée par la SNCF à RFF en 2005, la gare, dont l'activité ferroviaire a cessé en 1992, a été reconvertie en plateforme logistique du commerce asiatique. Aux deux niveaux de sous-sol de la gare, se superpose un niveau de voirie souterraine (rues du Disque et du Javelot) livrant accès aux différents immeubles et aux parkings.

La métaphore Olympique
Tous les immeubles portent le nom d'anciennes villes hôtes des Jeux olympiques d'hiver ou d'été, idée de la société de promotion SGII, qui profita de l'organisation la même année des Jeux olympiques d'hiver par la ville de Grenoble.

Dans le même esprit, les rues souterraines portent les noms de disciplines athlétiques, comme la rue du Disque et la rue du Javelot.

Le stadium, un complexe omnisports devant permettre la pratique d'une vingtaine de disciplines, a en effet tenu lieu d'argument marketing choc lors de la vente des appartements des tours de logement privé, comme en témoignent les plaquettes publicitaires. Mais le complexe, composé d'une piscine et patinoire fut rapidement fermé et resta longuement abandonné en tout ou partie, au grand dam des habitants. Cette zone du « Stadium » fut ensuite occupée par différents équipements : un bowling, une salle de squash, une synagogue et une salle de sport privée. Restructurée et réhabilitée, cette zone accueille de nos jours un gymnase municipal polyvalent.

Immeubles non construits
Le plan originel comprenait deux tours de copropriété qui n'ont jamais vu le jour, à savoir Melbourne (trame 4x4) et Los Angeles (trame 4x8), et qui devaient prendre place le long de la rue Nationale.

Architecture
L'ensemble immobilier est issu des nombreuses recherches de Michel Holley avec Raymond Lopez visant à réaliser des rénovations urbaines de grande ampleur, en s'appuyant sur la théorie de l'urbanigramme qui met en relation les volumes, les hauteurs et les surfaces et développe un gabarit.

"L'urbanigramme est un système, un outil théorique, une image caractéristique. Il permet l'analyse d'un choix et de ses conséquences".

Architecture modulaire
En réalité toutes les tours sont issues d'un module unique de dimensions 600 x  qui assemblés 4 par 4 donnent les tours Athènes et Cortina, 4 par 6 les tours Mexico et Sapporo et 4 par 8 les tours Helsinki et Tokyo.

Ce module unique se retrouve en façade par la mise en œuvre de panneaux préfabriqués de béton armé sablé à la modénature particulière issue de la figure géométrique du paraboloïde hyperbolique, dont la composition comprend du silex, du granit ou du basalte.

Les bâtiments dédiés au logement social, même si leur modénature diffère de celle des copropriétés, ont été conçus avec la même rigueur géométrique que l'on retrouve dans la répétitivité des façades et se distinguent par une trame davantage verticale.

Le centre commercial Mercure et ses « pagodes »
La forme des toitures des commerces qui est souvent associée à la population asiatique de l'arrondissement a en réalité une tout autre origine :

Mixité sociale
L'originalité des Olympiades réside également dans une mixité sociale exemplaire, inhérente au montage financier de l'opération. Appartements en accession libre ou aidée, appartements en location privée, logements sociaux de type HLM ou ILN, ateliers d'artistes en duplex... La diversité de l'offre résidentielle a engendré cette mixité, rare dans des ensembles de taille comparable. Contrairement aux idées reçues, le poids démographique de la population d'origine asiatique est bien moindre que celui économique.

Les logements sociaux sont tous gérés par le bailleur social parisien Paris Habitat.

Répartition des logements
Les tours et barres des Olympiades sont constituées d'environ 3400 logements à la fois privés et sociaux avec la répartition suivante:

Avenir de la dalle

L'excellente desserte de la dalle des Olympiades par les transports en commun (ligne 14 du métro au nord et tramway des Maréchaux au sud) dope son attractivité résidentielle. La dalle tire désormais parti de liens resserrés avec le nouveau quartier latin de Paris Rive Gauche. Quarante ans après sa mise en service, son vieillissement nécessitera cependant, comme au Front de Seine, d'importants travaux de réfection. Bien que très fréquentée et assumant de fait une fonction d'espace public, la dalle des Olympiades demeure un espace de droit privé, contrairement aux dalles publiques du Front de Seine et de la Défense. Son statut de "voie privée ouverte à la circulation publique" ouvre néanmoins droit à Paris au versement annuel d'une subvention municipale, diminuant d'autant les coûts d'entretien.

L'avenir de ce quartier, , se joue à l'échelle du Grand Paris, étant donné sa valeur de centralité et son fort potentiel d'attractivité. Mais il dépend en partie de l'évolution du statut juridique de la dalle.

La Gare des Gobelins fait l'objet de l'attention de la ville de Paris qui en a fait l'un des sites de Réinventer Paris II .

L'Association Syndicale Libre des Olympiades a fait réaliser en 2017 une étude urbaine et programmatique et accompagne les évolutions futures du quartier.

My first post back was about the Super Bowl, so I can't believe this little blog o' mine has been rocking and rolling for one year now! I try to keep things original here, and have been putting my head in a swirl trying to think of a great DIY for the big game only to realize the answer was right in front of me already! I've done so many DIYs this year that could (with minor changes) be transformed for the super bowl, so I've compiled them below to give you the ultimate accessories for your bash!
This should be a given right?
Exchange the Heat logo for the Broncos/Seahawks and keep your drink (and guests!) happy.
Switch the Orange chocolate for brown and draw appropriate white lines, and BINGO- a football!
Perfect for those game time finger foods!
Insert your favorite team's logo (or the Super Bowl's!) and you look like a rockstar.
These are all pretty easy that could be made during this weekend or even the nights before. Giving you lots of time to focus on the food, commercials, and of course, the GAME!

WAGS Student Brown Bag: Caroline King Sheds Light on Forgotten Feminist Heroes
November 17, 2021 The Quadrangle
by Kyla Guilfoil, Asst. News Editor
Manhattan College junior Caroline King presented her research regarding Black women and their role in early Marxist feminism during last week's Women and Gender Studies (WAGS) Student Brown Bag event. King, a double major in history and international studies with a WAGS minor, titled her presentation "Where Credit is Due: How Black Women Changed the Course of Marxist Feminism."
Nefertiti Takla, Ph.D., professor of history and coordinator of the WAGS minor, introduced King at the event, "[King] is passionate about amplifying the voices of the unheard and underrepresented women, to make feminism more inclusive."
King's work came from a research paper that she had completed in Takla's global feminism course last spring. King explained that Takla had assigned a semester-long research paper that could be anything, as long as it was a global issue that also involved feminism. King had taken immediate interest in the topic of Marxist feminism, and her research evolved to show her who the real key players in the Marxist feminism movement were.
King also shared with the audience that this was her first real attempt at a developed research paper. King attributed Takla for providing consistent guidance through the process.
@MC_LWGRC / COURTESY
In her presentation, King explained that Marxist feminism had its roots in Russia and Germany during the 1920s, and was revived in the 1970s in the US during the Wages for Housework Movement. The white women of the 1970s are often credited with the radicalization of Marxist feminism, but King argues that it was Black women in the 1940s that did so first.
In the global feminism course, King learned about 1970s US feminists Kate Millet, who introduced the term "patriarchy," and Silvia Federici, who argued that if housework was paid as other work is, it would no longer be the norm for the female gender to be responsible for all housework.
However, Black women had already posed radical Marxist feminist ideas in the 1940s, decades before the second wave feminism of the 1970s.
King took special attention to profile Claudia Jones: a feminist, activist, communist, Marxist and Black nationalist, who was originally from Trinidad and Tobago. Jones published "An End to the Neglect of the Problems of the Negro Woman" in 1949, which King argued as the blueprint for the foundations of Marxist feminism.
The work highlighted the unique plight of Black women, which could be addressed through Marxism and Communism. Jones established the theory of "super-exploitation," which was an early form of intersectionality that tied together three forms of oppression: worker, woman worker, Black woman worker.
King explained that Jones articulated that Black women's oppression did not come from capitalism alone, but rather from multiple lenses of their identities. According to King, Jones specifically highlighted domestic Black women workers who were not protected by labor unions or minimum wage laws and were subject to rights violations and assault. Black women returned home from taking care of a white family to begin taking care of their own in "unwaged housework."
King expanded her argument by profiling Frances Beal, who King called a Black feminist and political activist that was " revolutionary in nature and expressed the importance of dismantling systems of oppression rather than upholding them."
Beal pointed out that Black women never had the luxury of being stay at home mothers, and instead always had to go out and work as well as perform unwaged housework in their own homes because of the racial and class oppression of Black men. Beal called this idea "Double Jeopardy," which King compared to Jones' "super-exploitation."
"[Jones and Beal's] experience of race, class and gender exploitation as Black women led them to the understanding that capitalism is not the only societal oppressor," King said during her presentation.
King explained that her presentation was intended to give credit to the Black women whose feminism is not recognized in the same way that white feminism is.
"A lot of times my research focused on crediting earlier Black women, because we often look at white, liberal feminism, and how white women are often given all this credit in feminism," King told The Quadrangle. "Sometimes white women forget or neglect the intersectionality or inclusion of other marginalized women. They fail to remember that a lot of these women are not just oppressed by gender, but also through their skin color, through their class and through a lot of other marginalizing factors that often white women neglect and forget about."
During the event's question period, Ashley Cross, Ph.D., professor of English, asked King to reflect on her position as a white woman presenting about Black women who had historically been excluded from the conversation by white women.
"I am a white woman presenting about Black women, so it's an interesting line to walk on," King said. "How do I honor these women, without appropriation? I think that one way we can do this is by incorporating more of these Black women's work into the classroom first. So, maybe when we talk about Marxist feminism, we talk about Claudia Jones before Silvia Federici, since in chronological, historical order, her work came first. I think that definitely takes a lot of reflection to kind of overcome our identity and implicit biases as historians."
King continued to explain that when she first was introduced to Marxist feminism in Dr. Takla's course, she was very impressed by Federici's work. However, she realized that she needed to give more credit to the women that had already begun making claims about Marxist feminism before Federici.
"[I] realize[d] she doesn't deserve all of this credit, you know, women came before her, who were experiencing things she never could have possibly imagined," King said. "So, I think really reflecting on those implicit biases is the only way that we can really overcome these discrepancies and inequalities in liberal feminism."
Jonathan Keller, Ph.D., professor of political science, asked King whether she thought it was truly encapsulating to call what Jones and Beal did as Marxism. King agreed that these women dissected Marxism and feminism to become something that they had not been before.
"Women like Claudia Jones take this idea of deconstructing capitalism as a way of ending sexism and gender oppression, but she's adding in her own experience of racial oppression as well," King said. "So, I guess we kind of have to recontexualize, or reorganize, how we see Marxism feminism through that lens…"Maybe it deserves a new name because they really take Marxism past where it originally began."
Through her research and ability to question the traditional understanding of radicalized Marxist feminism, King used the WAGS Brown Bag event as a way to give Black women the recognition that she believes they deserve. This practice is something that King hopes to expand upon after her time at MC.
"I'd love to go to law school, and eventually I'd love to work as a judge. I'd love to work for the American Civil Liberties Union, and just kind of working to level the playing field for people, advocate for women's rights, for Black women's rights, etc.," King told the Quadrangle.
"Caroline is a sharp, inquisitive and insightful student who is deeply committed to social and racial justice," Takla told The Quadrangle. "For this reason, it was a pleasure to work with her in my Global Feminisms course last semester. The significance of Caroline's work lies in its potential to bring the theoretical contributions of Black Marxist feminists to the center of historical narratives about Marxist feminism in general."

NIH Outlines Strategic Plan to Curb Obesity Epidemic
More than one-third of adults in the United States and nearly 17% of the nation's children are now obese, which increases a person's chance of developing many health problems, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, fatty liver disease, and some cancers. In 2008, obesity-related medical costs were an estimated $147 billion.
The NIH fund research to reduce the prevalence of obesity and its health consequences, an investment of $824 million in fiscal year 2010, plus awards totaling $147 million made in the same year through the Recovery Act. This NIH strategic plan, developed by the NIH Obesity Research Task Force, recognizes that eating less and exercising more is easier said than done. Highlighting the crucial role of research in efforts to reduce obesity, the plan emphasizes moving science from laboratory to clinical trials to practical solutions, and is designed to help target efforts and resources in areas most likely to help.
"Obesity has many causes and contributing factors. This plan is a bold blueprint that will encourage the research community to examine the epidemic of obesity from diverse perspectives," Francis S. Collins, MD, PhD, NIH director, stated in a press release. "Through the scientific opportunities outlined in the strategic plan, researchers can work together toward the goals of preventing and treating obesity, to help people lead healthier and more fulfilling lives."
The task force is co-chaired by Griffin P. Rodgers, MD, director of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases; Susan B. Shurin, MD, acting director of the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute; and Alan E. Guttmacher, MD, director of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. These three institutes, along with the National Cancer Institute, led in the plan's development.

The biggest story of the month is the legal suit against Target, for having an inaccessible website. In the comments, there's a massive barrier of ignorance that has to be overcome. Target has made a few noticeable changes when its been flagged up by web accessibility activists, which is a good sign. Unfortunately, a legal decision is necessary to reduce the barrier of public ignorance.
The next amazing story is US museums making their exhibits accessible. This involves hands-on examination of marble statues, as well as exploring the different textures of paintbrush strokes as a ways of explaining a van Gogh masterpiece. Its a fascinating area, and demonstrates how innovative and creative we can be in the field of accessibility.
The complaint and petition aimed at Google for its CAPTCHA barrier to disabled people has received no answer from Google. This month I've been battling to subscribe to some of Yahoo's email groups because of illegible characters. Come on Google and Yahoo, please provide an accessible alternative.
US Newswire: Sports sites fall short of the end zone when it comes to accessibility
With Super Bowl XL just a few days away, the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) is reporting that sporting web sites are not high scorers in the game of accessibility. After evaluating NFL.com, ESPN.com, and SI.com, AFB found that many of the sites' features were difficult, if not impossible, to navigate with a screen reader-an assistive technology product used by people who are blind to read the text on a computer screen.
Scoop: Community website gets accessibility tick
Community and Voluntary Sector Minister Luamanuvao Winnie Laban today accepted an inaugural AccEase Accessibility Tick Accreditation award, for the CommunityNet Aotearoa website (www.community.net.nz).
The awards recognise websites that demonstrate best practice in accessibility, significantly exceeding New Zealand and international mandatory standards.
Computing: Poor accessibility has a price
Research by user experience consultancy Designed for All last month found that only 30 percent of web sites displaying an accessibility statement or logo were making accurate claims about accessibility. Many of their sites failed basic accessibility tests or claimed standards beyond those actually achieved, according to the firm's report.
In separate Cabinet Office research released at the end of last year, only three percent of 436 public service web sites examined across Europe were found to meet the internationally accepted W3C web accessibility standards.
Search Engine Journal: Target.com sued over lack of alt tags (attributes)
The National Federation of the Blind and a college student are suing Target and want to establish a class action suit over Target and its lack of accessibility for blind internet users. The suit is centered around Target.com's lack of alt text in its site's images. Wonder who's doing their SEO, as alt tags (or alt Attributes) are a very important part of all around site usability and relevancy.
Wall Street Journal: Target sued by National Federation of the Blind
The plaintiffs, represented by Disability Rights Advocates, a Berkeley-based non-profit law firm; Schneider & Wallace in San Francisco; and Brown, Goldstein & Levy in Baltimore, charge that Target.com fails to meet the minimum standards of Web accessibility. The suit charges that the site lacks, for instance, compliant alt-text, an invisible code embedded beneath graphics that allows blind users to decipher images. The suit also contends that because the Web site requires the use of a mouse to complete a transaction, blind customers are unable to make purchases on their own.
CNet: Blind patrons sue Target for site inaccessibility
For example, the suit charges that visual information is missing "alt-text," or invisible code that allows screen readers to detect and vocalize a description of an image. In addition, the site lacks accessible image maps, an impediment to jumping to different site destinations, the suit says. As a result, Sexton, who attends the University of California, Berkeley, says that while he can search the site for specific products, he's unable to associate prices with those goods.
British Journal of Healthcare Computing: Europe-wide survey finds public-sector websites are "not designed to be accessible"
Results of the Europe-wide investigation were published late last year by the Cabinet Office (eAccessibility of public sector services in the EU). The survey compared the accessibility of 436 public-service websites with the World Wide Web Consortium WCAG 1.0 guidelines.
Internet.com: Google's doors still shut to blind
When internetnews.com spoke to Marissa Mayer, Google's director of consumer experience, last July, she said Google planned to implement some alternatives in the next one to two months to make its captchas more compatible with screen readers, as well as examining whether to add audio versions. (Mayer was not available for another interview.)
Washington Examiner: Examiner Editorial - Blind to the First Amendment?
Advocates like W3C view enforcing accessibility as a straightforward matter of regulating "form" without dictating content. But if this issue ever reaches the Supreme Court, we hope it will invoke a First Amendment principle articulated in a landmark 1974 case:
"The choice of material to go into a newspaper, and the decisions made as to limitations on the size and content of the paper, and treatment of public issues and public officials - whether fair or unfair - constitute the exercise of editorial control and judgment. It has yet to be demonstrated how governmental regulation of this crucial process can be exercised consistent with First Amendment guarantees of a free press."
e-consultancy: Usability & accessibility market worth £115m in 2005
E-consultancy predicts that the combined usability and accessibility markets will grow by a further 25% in 2006, resulting in a market value of £144m by the end of the year. E-consultancy's valuation is based on money spent on usability and accessibility resources both client-side (internally) and through agencies.
24 hour museum: Jodi accessibility awards - nominations deadline approaching
"There are always limitations: content management systems specified three or four years ago may not allow triple AAA level access compliance, but we're looking to reward those who make a sincere effort."
Society for Human Resource Management: High-tech enables employees
Those were not the good ol' days. Today, as the Washington, D.C.-based director of regulatory affairs at the wireless company Cingular, Mazrui has a wealth of assistive technology products that make her life easier and her time at work more productive. She uses a printer that embosses documents in Braille and a text reader that allows her to surf the web and hear the information available on the sites. She has a software program that transfers text into Braille, a wireless phone that reads e-mail and a Braille notetaker that helps her follow a script while making live presentations.
The News Tribune: Museums help blind people get a feel for art
The Nelson-Atkins program has participants first feel pieces of slate and marble - the materials of which the works they'll feel are made. Later, specially trained docents guide the hands of the visually impaired across 500-year-old Spanish tomb covers, an Italian bust of St. John the Baptist and numerous pieces by celebrated modernist sculptor Henry Moore, asking them questions about their perceptions and offering them history on the piece.
Computerworld: Plone expands government user base
Plone's big attraction for government is that it supports the W3C standards for website accessibility. This capability has been tweaked for NZ government use to comply with the government's own web guidelines.
This degree of compliance "means other government agencies can use it to build and manage their websites knowing that they are using best practice accessibility standards," says SSC ICT branch head Laurence Millar.
Computerworld: PDF 'creature' still haunts government sites
An "umbrella" exemption has also been granted for sites which use PDF documents which will be difficult to convert to HTML. Agencies operating such sites will have to provide an HTML paragraph describing "the key messages" of the PDF document.
GCN: Web browsers comply with Section 508
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1998 requires government agencies to make the information technologies that they procure accessible to individuals with disabilities. Fortunately, when it comes to Web browsers, federal agencies have some choices. The software developers behind both the Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer browsers have been working diligently to meet Section 508 compliance and improve Web accessibility in general.

Miami Herald: Disabled sue over access to Tut show
An audio tour, designed for those with disabilities, covers only about 20 of the 130 artifacts, said Tom Ryan. The museum didn't provide a guide to help people who are blind navigate the exhibit, he said.
Computerworld: New York faces DOJ suit over voter accessibility law
The state of New York is being threatened with a federal lawsuit for failing to comply with the Help America Vote Act, which requires actions such as the development of statewide voter-registration databases and the installation of e-voting systems or other voting machines that are handicapped-accessible.
Legal - UK and Europe, and world wide
Manchester Evening News: Helping businesses 'wise up' to disabled
The DDA affects more adults in the north west than anywhere else in the UK, including London, with 1.2m people covered by the legislation.
The estimated spending power of disabled people in the UK is around £80bn.
Supply Management: Act for equality
In April 2005, the updated Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) became law, amending and extending provisions in the DDA 1995. Some parts came into force last December, but perhaps the most significant is a new requirement on public bodies to promote equality of opportunity for disabled people under the Disability Equality Duty (DED).
BBC: Disabled train users 'railroaded'
The [Disability Discrimination] act covers railway stations but not trains which must be fully accessibly by 2020.
However from December public transport providers cannot discriminate against disabled people by treating them less favourably than a non-disabled person, Mr Gaines said.
Computerworld: Govt web compliance deadline; for January, read about June
The notional deadline for government agencies to comply with website standards passed on January 1, but the State Services Commission is being flexible about the requirement.
Real pressure won't be applied to website managers until the middle of the year, Computerworld understands.
Employers Jobs: New employer guide for disabled job finders
Following on from legislation passed under the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), Configure, a disabled access consultancy, has published the Guide to Accessibility.
The guide seeks to inform companies that there is more to fulfilling employer requirements than simply installing lifts and ramps, with wheelchair users constituting only three per cent of the UK's disabled population.


"Twilight" star Elizabeth Reaser feels women continue to be "very vulnerable" in showbiz and the string of sexual misconduct cases coming out of Hollywood doesn't surprise her. The American actress says she is glad that people found the courage to speak up against the "heart-breaking and horrific truth of our world". The actress, who has been part of projects like "The Good Wife" and "Ouija: Origin of Evil" -- which was aired in India on Sony PIX last month -- feels the whole "dynamic is always tricky when a majority of people in power are men".
"Nothing about it surprises me. What surprises me is that people care to be honest; maybe that is a dark view, but I think it is an old story for women," Reaser, 42, told IANS in a recorded response from Los Angeles. "Women have been dealing with this in every industry since the beginning of time. It is a really challenging and scary thing to speak up. It is such an act of courage."
"Usually people don't believe you, or you become a victim again by sharing the story. There is backlash. There are things that you can't anticipate... that can go wrong by sharing the story. I really feel grateful to the people who have come forward because it is a heart-breaking and horrific truth of our world and the whole world in general.
"Women are still very vulnerable in show business because being a young or not-so-young woman, who wants to get a job, puts you in a vulnerable position. I think that dynamic is always tricky when a majority of people in power are men," the actress added. From Harvey Weinstein, Ben Affleck, Brett Ratner, Charlie Sheen, Dustin Hoffman, James Toback to Kevin Spacey, several men from Hollywood have been accused of sexual assault and harassment. It all started with numerous women coming forward to allege that Hollywood mogul Weinstein used his position to harass them.
Reaser feels the outcry over the sexual harassment scandals will "make predators rethink some of their behaviour" and be "less inclined to these acts". "It is really up to us going forward on how one makes these decisions. Who do we want to put in power and in the power to tell stories or use the power to tell the stories... Hopefully, we will make everyone more accountable in every department because it is not just actresses (who are getting exploited).
"It is not just film industry. It is every industry around the world. The more we talk about it the more powerful it makes us all." Reaser, who has also featured in "Mind the Gap", "Law & Order: Criminal Intent", "Grey's Anatomy" and "Mad Men", asserts that "we have been in this culture where we have allowed this kind of behaviour and these kinds of crimes, and just looked the other way".
"I hope things really change now," she said. Reaser began her career in theatre and started making appearances in films and television from 2000. How does she rate her work? "I am pretty hard on myself whenever I watch myself. I don't watch myself because I will have a lot of regrets. There is always that voice in your head saying that 'I could have done better'," she noted. On the work front, she is now part of Netflix show "Easy" and "The Haunting of Hill House".


Hope this is all going well! Sounds amazing! Enjoy the garlic ramen!
I got a text from Seth this morning so I know they arrived in Lukla and are planning on flying out tomorrow. However, he said that all the flights out today were cancelled. Hopefully that isn't the case tomorrow, but it looks like they have a couple of days to play with.
They did end up flying out and are safely in Katmandu. I got a text about an hour ago (1 am EST).

What Are E-girls and E-boys? Understanding Internet Subculture
by ronneypab | Mar 28, 2021 | Tech Tips | 0 comments
Life on the internet moves fast. Internet subcultures in particular develop, evolve and sometimes fade away so quickly most people in the mainstream are completely unaware of their existence. When it comes to e-girls and e-boys, their influence is now so widespread that the mainstream can't help but take notice.
If you've been confused by the recent talk of "e-girls" and "e-boys" you might benefit from a quick explainer about what these colorful internet personalities are all about.
History and Origin of E-boys and E-girls
E-boys and e-girls are a fairly recent phenomenon. It mainly coincides with the launch of TikTok, which happened in 2018. TikTok is of course a unique short-form video sharing site. A little like the now-defunct Vine, TikTok lets users post 15-second video clips. This format has created new genres of online content and is host to many fads and trends that sweep through the site like a tsunami.
It's in this brave new world of dancing and singing people that e-girls found their true home. It wasn't long before e-boys would become a distinct variation on the style and culture of e-girls, culminating in this fascinating culture that's still evolving today.
The people who we now know as e-boys and e-girls didn't just appear out of thin air on TikTok. It seems that Tumblr may have been the incubator for the type of online persona that would eventually become the e-people under discussion here. The term "e-girl" can be traced back to the late 2000s, but it started as a derogatory term for apparently attention-seeking women who hung out online.
Major Influences on E-girl and E-boy Culture
The e-girl and e-boy culture is the result of a long lineage and wide mishmash of different influences. It's tightly intertwined with other staples of internet culture such as the 4chan image boards (you go there at your own risk!) and other sources of internet memes such as Reddit.
There are clear signs of the goth and punk movement, which predate the web by quite some time. Those influences are perhaps filtered through the lens of emo fashion, which was a mainstay of Tumblr and the 2000s as a whole.
Apart from those major fashion influences, Japanese cultural media such as anime and manga are clear to see. Especially "kawaii" (cute) culture, which is itself a major force in Japanese pop culture. The rise in popularity of K-Pop (Korean pop music) in the West also had an influence. Although the K-Pop aesthetic is more prevalent on the e-boy side of things.
Speaking of music, artists such as Billy Eilish are important contributors to the e-boy and e-girl world. Still, the musical influences are constantly evolving and subject to rapid change.
E-boys and E-girls Are Anti-influencers
One of the main reasons people are suddenly interested in e-girls and e-boys, is an excellent Business Insider article. That article does an excellent job of outlining the culture as a whole, but one part of it is particularly insightful. Author Paige Leskin draws parallels between e-girls and e-boys and counterculture fashion of the punk and goth eras.
It's in part a reaction to the fake, polished world of the Instagram influencer. It's gritty, dirty and at times more unabashedly sexual. E-boys and e-girls aren't looking for the mainstream ideal of a perfect life, laying on a beach getting a tan and drinking expensive cocktails. They're gritty, dirty and anti-establishment.
What's "Ahegao"?
One common element of the culture when it comes to e-girls is the so-called "ahegao" face. As mentioned above, Japanese anime and manga are a strong influence on the subculture, and that includes the adult content found within the medium. The word "ahegao" roughly means "lewd face" and is basically the exaggerated face made by (mostly) female characters in "hentai" ( adult Japanese animation) when they are in the throes of ecstasy.
That now-iconic expression has taken on an ironic, meme-like life of its own and is part and parcel of the e-girl persona. One pioneering contribution to the e-girl trend is an influential online personality named Belle Delphine. While Delphine herself can now be classified as an adult actress, the ahegao face is as embedded in being an e-girl as the "V for victory" sign that stems from kawaii culture.
Like so many things that travel across the zeitgeist, there's a good chance many of the people aping this part of the e-girl style have no idea where ahegao comes from, but there's no doubt everyone knows it has raunchy undertones.
Recognizing the Aesthetic
Although the terms "girl" and "boy" are used to describe these aesthetics, they aren't necessarily gendered. Each represents a look that can be adopted by persons of any gender.
Defining exactly what these girls and boys look like can be hard, since no two people are going to have exactly the same set of elements. Yet, as with goths and punks, you'll know it when you see it.
E-girls generally have brightly-colored hair or, at least, a brightly-colored wig. This is largely thanks to the influence of Japanese anime on the subculture. Anime characters often have fantastical hair colors such as pink, purple or blue.
In terms of clothing, makeup and accessories there's typically a mix of darker goth and punk inspired items mixed with kawaii elements such as Hello Kitty gear. In terms of makeup the idea is to create a look of vulnerability, youth and, well, general paleness if we're being honest.
E-boys have a distinctive set of hairstyles, which often includes a middle-parting popularized by K-Pop stars. Many of the other fashion elements are shared with E-girls, but there is a greater focus on androgyny and sensitive masculinity.
E-boys and E-girls Only Live On-Screen
For now, at least, e-girls and e-boys are largely confined to their webcams and social media accounts. It's less likely you will see them in their full getups walking around the supermarket. It's performative art that goes along with themes such as progressive politics, gender views, and sexual morality.
In that sense it's a bit like drag, where the typical drag queen just looks like a regular person in public, though with shaved eyebrows! Just so, your typical e-girl or e-boy will just look like a regular young person on the street, perhaps with brightly-dyed hair.
This may change going forward, as the look goes more mainstream. Which will likely lead to people mimicking the outward look of the subculture without really understanding its meaning.
We've seen this happen over and over again with other subcultures such as punk, goth and metal fashion. That can end up in uber-mainstream socialites such as the Kardiashians wearing shirts that riff on the heavy metal subculture, without any apparent interest or appreciation for the music that spawned it. So if you ever spot an e-girl or an e-boy in real life, be sure to have a kind word of support for them.

Q: HTML tag specifically for storing arbitrary data I am loading a Razor View via AJAX and putting the content into a div on a page.
If I want to send some arbitrary data from the view to our AJAX framework, is there a recommended HTML tag to do this with? A hidden field sounds like the wrong this to use for this. I could use an empty div with custom data- attributes, but again, a div sounds wrong.
My data isn't relevant to any element within this view, more related to the view itself.
Yes - this is simply a question of systematics and aesthetics.

A: I use data-* attributes, and try to find and attach them to already existing related elements. This convention is also used by asp.net mvc framework itself - when link target needs to be loaded, data-ajax-* is attached to anchors. When you need to set update target of form submit, you attach data-ajax-* to form, so in most cases it is possible to find good candidate for it. If it is not possible in any particular case, I do not see problems using body instead.

Q: A regular 12-gon ABCDEFGHIJKL is inscribed into a circle of radius 12. Find the perimeter of the pentagon ACFHK. I tried to draw everything, and then hope that a part of the pentagon (1/5) of it was 60 degrees, and then you know that the part would be an equilateral triangle. (The radii of the circle would be 2 sides, and therefore the third would also be 14). This did not turn out to be 60 degrees, and I am stuck.

A: Your approach is a good one.
The vertices of the dodecagon are $360^\circ/12 = 30^\circ$ apart around the circle. From this you can see that some parts inside the pentagon are indeed equilateral triangles, whereas other parts are isosceles right triangles.
It should be straightforward to work out the area length of the outer side of each part and sum to get the total area perimeter. (Edited after comments.)
