Join Andy Needham as he runs down the latest features in Cinema 4D R19. Discover how to leverage this new functionality to quickly create strikingly realistic renders. Here, Andy explains how to work with PBR materials and lights, covers improvements to the viewport, and shows how to use the latest detailing and gluing features in the Voronoi Fracture object. Plus, he demonstrates how to use the new sound effector to create animations that react to the beat of music, work with the Spherical camera to render your scenes as immersive VR experiences, and more.
- [Andy] Hi, my name is Andy Needham, and welcome to this course outlining the new features in Cinema 4D R19. In release 19, Maxon has improved and enhanced the software in many areas, and with the addition of ProRender and the PVR workflow, they have laid the foundations for creating even more realistic renders in less time. We'll discover the updates to the viewport as well as the new generator objects used for optimizing scenes. The Voronoi fracture object has undergone a significant revision and we'll discover how we can make our fractures look even more realistic with the new detailing and gluing options.
MoGraph gets another update with their rewritten sound effector, that makes creating audio reactive music visualizations a fun, intuitive process. We'll also look at the updated motion tracker object and the new options for scene reconstruction. Finally, we check out how we can get renders out of Cinema 4D and into a format that can be used in virtual reality with the new spherical camera. The fundamentals of using Cinema 4D have not changed. It's still the software you know and love.
Maxon have simply added some fantastic new features. So let's get started.
What's new in CINEMA 4D?
What is the media core?
What's new in the Motion Tracker?

Q: How to overwrite CSS in Google homepage with Chrome? I would like to overwrite CSS style in Google homepage.

*

*I'm able to do it with DevTools/Overrides but DevTools has to be always open.

*I checked some Chrome extensions and they work everywhere but not in this default tab (without url).

*There is an option in the right bottom corner to change the background but no way to define the entire CSS style.

*I remember something like this was possible, any CSS to any website on FF and Chrome, maybe they remove it.

Is there any way to change the CSS and make it permanent?
Any help will be really appreciate : )

A: DevTools only makes client-side changes (changes that only you and your device can see). These changes do not affect the css that is sent to you over the internet. However, the changes you make in DevTools are erased every time the page is reloaded, and the default code from the server is restored. As a result, you can't make permanent css changes to code from a server that you do not own; all client-side changes are temporary.

The Apple Watch Series 3 with an iPhone X.
Perhaps the highest compliment I can give the Apple Watch Series 3 is that it made me use the iPhone X as my main phone again.
It's not that I hate the iPhone X; I actually love its hardware and swiping gestures. But as I've written/tweeted/ranted on video/told friends hundreds of times before, I prefer Android to iOS (I like my homescreen customizable and all my notifications grouped properly on a single pane, just to give you two examples why). And since I have all the top phones, I can be picky, and for the most part, my main SIM card calls the Huawei Mate 10 Pro home.
But after testing Apple's newest Apple Watch (the LTE edition just got released in Hong Kong this week) for a few days, I am enjoying the experience so much I swapped back to the iPhone X as my daily driver, mainly because Apple's smartwatch (obviously) works better when paired with iOS than Android.
I must admit I'm a relatively novice when it comes to using smartwatches. I never got to test the first two editions of the Apple Watch, and my only smartwatch experiences thus far has been the Fitbit Ionic and the Fossil Q Marshall.
But almost within the first minute of unboxing the Apple Watch 3, I understood why tech reviewers have appointed it the king of the market. Even though I knew the Fitbit Ionic was a bit bulky during my review period, I didn't quite know just how much so. Next to the Apple Watch, the Ionic's blocky square face with sharp corners look awkward and uncomfortable. The Fossil Q Marshall's 250g weight, meanwhile, feel absurd next to the Watch's barely 60g.
The fit and finish of the Apple Watch is top notch all around. The OLED panel gets up to around 1,000 nits of brightness, which made outdoor reading under the sun not an issue.
Like previous editions, the Watch has a crown and single button on the right side that, along with an intuitive series of taps and swipes, navigate the software smoothly. While I find the widespread belief that Apple's smartphone are built better than everyone else's completely unjustified, I must say that is probably true for the watch.
Another aspect of the Apple Watch that blew me away was the fluidity of animations and touchscreen sensitivity. On Fitbit devices, it's always been choppy animations and less than stellar response times ... which I was fine with! I don't have nearly as much demands for a wrist-worn digital device than I do a smartphone, but I guess I should, because Apple's got it right.
It's ultimately the software of the Apple Watch that won me over. I really like the myriad of apps on Apple's watch ecosystem, including a mostly functional Instagram feed. Being able to receive and interact with notifications has also proven to be huge. On the Fitbit Ionic, I could see notifications but couldn't do anything with them. On the Apple Watch, I can respond to incoming WhatsApp or WeChat messages by voice dictation (which works very well) or scribbling on the watch's face.
I used to be one of those who didn't think smartwatch notifications would bring much benefit, considering we could just check our phones for the same information. But in my week of using the Apple Watch, I realized there are some scenarios in which not having to reach for your phone is ideal. The first is in the morning, during that stretch when I'm awake but haven't gotten out of bed yet. Before the Apple Watch, I'd hear the phone buzz with a message or phone call on the night stand and have to lean over to get a peak to see if the incoming message is worth my time. Now, I could just glance at my watch and decide whether to take that call or reject it; to respond to the message now or wait until I've begun my day.
You can read entire emails and chat messages on the Apple Watch's OLED display clearly.
This LTE version device takes the connectivity thing even further than previous Apple Watches. Those had to be synced to the phone via bluetooth. This new one is capable of working completely untethered because it's got an eSIM embedded inside. I recently wrote about a Hong Kong company that's doing some cool things with eSIMs here, but for those unfamiliar, eSIMS are basically embedded chips that some in the industry believe could one day replace physical SIM cards. The benefits to using eSIMs is that they take up far less space and they can be programmed by carriers over-the-air, so you don't have to swap SIM cards in and out when you travel.
To take advantage of the eSIM inside the Apple Watch you'll have to register the device with your local carrier. In the U.S. and some parts of Europe, carriers are charging customers additional fees for the connectivity. Fortunately for me, in Hong Kong, the carrier CSL is offering the service free of charge. So with a CSL account, I was able to pair my number to the Apple Watch 3 in under a minute, and after that, my watch was able to receive phone calls and notifications even completely separated from my phone.
Phone calls with the Apple Watch sound excellent. Despite its petite size, the Watch packs a very loud speaker, and the party on the other end said she could hear me clearly too.
The Apple Watch does fitness tracking too, but this is one area where it falls short to Fitbit. Whereas tracking step counts and heart rate has become mostly the norm these days (there are no shortage of bands and even phones that can do that), Fitbit devices offer sleep tracking, which Apple's device does not, at least not natively. There are some third party apps that can somewhat track sleeping habits and hours, but they're nowhere near as smart as Fitbit's version.
The heartrate sensor on the back of the Watch is thin and doesn't stick out like on some other trackers.
Apple added a red paint job over the crown to distinguish the LTE version with non-LTE versions.
There are many clock faces to choose from but I decided on this clean one with all the crucial information displayed up front.
Otherwise, the watch tracks exercises pretty intelligently. It could tell the difference between cycling (a workout) vs. riding on an electric scooter (not a workout); walking up stairs vs. riding up escalators.
Battery life here on the Watch depends on how often you need to use cellular reception. In a relatively small city like Hong Kong, my Watch probably doesn't need to swap between cell towers as often as someone living in, say, Texas would. So I'm not sure how my battery experience holds up to readers living elsewhere. But so far, my experience sees the Watch giving me about two days of power through one charge.
The Apple Watch, as mentioned earlier, is best used with an iPhone. You can indeed pair it with an Android device, but you won't get to customize the Watch's clock face or settings on an Android device and you will only get the most basic of push notifications.
So ultimately, the Apple Watch is for people who are already deep in Apple's ecosystem, or someone like me, who have the luxury to jump in and out. For now, I'm in. The Watch experience has been so impressive (responding to WhatsApp by speaking into my wrist is fun), I'm willing to leave Android behind as my main device.
Of course, I tried switching to the iPhone X full time back in November too, before I gave in and went back to Android three weeks later. We'll see how long I last this time.

Brightsource's Ivanpah solar project breaks ground
The weather was nippy and the casinos of Primm were looming within eyeshot, but Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was still in a jolly mood Wednesday morning.
After all, the largest solar thermal project in the world was breaking ground on his turf in the Mojave Desert, just shy of the Nevada border.
"Some people look out into the desert and see miles and miles of emptiness," he said at the event for the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System. "I see miles and miles of gold mine."
The plant, backed by Oakland-based BrightSource Energy Inc., is to produce 370 megawatts when it starts operating, scheduled for mid-2013, the company said.
Earlier, the company announced a partnership with Princeton, N.J.-based utility NRG Energy Inc., which will pump $300 million into the Ivanpah project over the next three years.
NRG already owns California's largest photovoltaic solar project -– a 21-megawatt installation in Blythe -– and will become the Ivanpah facility's lead investor.
The Ivanpah project already has a loan guarantee worth nearly $1.4 billion from the U.S. Department of Energy.
"This is the beginning, the Apollo project, the liftoff," said Joshua Bar-Lev, vice president of regulatory affairs for BrightSource. "This is an energy future we control, not one controlled by foreign countries. ... We are the pioneers."
Added Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, in a cowboy hat: "We will make believers out of the skeptics."

There are many reasons why you should consider consulting with a New Jersey DWI/DUI lawyer about your case. The New Jersey drunk driving laws are amongst the nation's strictest and are designed for zero tolerance. Because of the amount of accidents, injuries and deaths attributed to drunk driving, New Jersey drunk driving laws seek strong penalties in an effort to deter future violations and to stop drunk driving. The New Jersey DWI laws punish DWI offenders in many cases in a much harsher manner than others facing charges for other criminal charges. A DWI conviction and more so in succeeding DWI convictions, you will see a more severe punishment than you would see for other crimes.
Further, these laws also make it unlawful to operate a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs, both illegal and those legally prescribed but which impair the operator's ability to drive safely. There has been a noticeable increase in charged DWI offenses for legally prescribed drugs in recent years. These cases are often medically technical and with proper representation can be defeated.
The attorneys at Kurkowski Law are experienced and have tried hundreds of DWI cases. Your advantage is that our lawyers have argued both sides of the courtroom. Call us today for a free consultation, (609) 884-1788, or email us at info@kurkowskilaw.com.
N.J.S.A. 39:4-50 Driving While Intoxicated
(a) Except as provided in subsection (g) of this section, a person who operates a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, narcotic, hallucinogenic or habit-producing drug, or operates a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of 0. 08% or more by weight of alcohol in the defendant's blood or permits another person who is under the influence of intoxicating liquor, narcotic, hallucinogenic or habit-producing drug to operate a motor vehicle owned by him or in his custody or control or permits another to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or more by weight of alcohol in the defendant's blood shall be subject:
(1) For the first offense:
(i) if the person's blood alcohol concentration is 0.08% or higher but less than 0.10%, or the person operates a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, or the person permits another person who is under the influence of intoxicating liquor to operate a motor vehicle owned by him or in his custody or control or permits another person with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or higher but less than 0.10% to operate a motor vehicle, to a fine of not less than $250 nor more than $400 and a period of detainment of not less than 12 hours nor more than 48 hours spent during two consecutive days of not less than six hours each day and served as prescribed by the program requirements of the Intoxicated Driver Resource Centers established under subsection (f) of this section and, in the discretion of the court, a term of imprisonment of not more than 30 days and shall forthwith forfeit his right to operate a motor vehicle over the highways of this State for a period of three months;
(ii) if the person's blood alcohol concentration is 0.10% or higher, or the person operates a motor vehicle while under the influence of narcotic, hallucinogenic or habit-producing drug, or the person permits another person who is under the influence of narcotic, hallucinogenic or habit-producing drug to operate a motor vehicle owned by him or in his custody or control, or permits another person with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.10% or more to operate a motor vehicle, to a fine of not less than $300 nor more than $500 and a period of detainment of not less than 12 hours nor more than 48 hours spent during two consecutive days of not less than six hours each day and served as prescribed by the program requirements of the Intoxicated Driver Resource Centers established under subsection (f) of this section and, in the discretion of the court, a term of imprisonment of not more than 30 days and shall forthwith forfeit his right to operate a motor vehicle over the highways of this State for a period of not less than seven months nor more than one year;

Other issues within the New Jersey DWI Statute:
As used in this section, the phrase "narcotic, hallucinogenic or habit- producing drug" includes an inhalant or other substance containing a chemical capable of releasing any toxic vapors or fumes for the purpose of inducing a condition of intoxication, such as any glue, cement or any other substance containing one or more of the following chemical compounds: acetone and acetate, amyl nitrite or amyl nitrate or their isomers, benzene, butyl alcohol, butyl nitrite, butyl nitrate or their isomers, ethyl acetate, ethyl alcohol, ethyl nitrite or ethyl nitrate, ethylene dichloride, isobutyl alcohol or isopropyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, methyl ethyl ketone, nitrous oxide, n-propyl alcohol, pentachlorophenol, petroleum ether, propyl nitrite or propyl nitrate or their isomers, toluene, toluol or xylene or any other chemical substance capable of causing a condition of intoxication, inebriation, excitement, stupefaction or the dulling of the brain or nervous system as a result of the inhalation of the fumes or vapors of such chemical substance.
Whenever an operator of a motor vehicle has been involved in an accident resulting in death, bodily injury or property damage, a police officer shall consider that fact along with all other facts and circumstances in determining whether there are reasonable grounds to believe that person was operating a motor vehicle in violation of this section.
A conviction of a violation of a law of a substantially similar nature in another jurisdiction, regardless of whether that jurisdiction is a signatory to the Interstate Driver License Compact pursuant to P.L.1966, c. 73 (C.39:5D-1 et seq.), shall constitute a prior conviction under this subsection unless the defendant can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the conviction in the other jurisdiction was based exclusively upon a violation of a proscribed blood alcohol concentration of less than 0.08%.
If the driving privilege of any person is under revocation or suspension for a violation of any provision of this Title or Title 2C of the New Jersey Statutes at the time of any conviction for a violation of this section, the revocation or suspension period imposed shall commence as of the date of termination of the existing revocation or suspension period. In the case of any person who at the time of the imposition of sentence is less than 17 years of age, the forfeiture, suspension or revocation of the driving privilege imposed by the court under this section shall commence immediately, run through the offender's seventeenth birthday and continue from that date for the period set by the court pursuant to paragraphs (1) through (3) of this subsection. A court that imposes a term of imprisonment under this section may sentence the person so convicted to the county jail, to the workhouse of the county wherein the offense was committed, to an inpatient rehabilitation program or to an Intoxicated Driver Resource Center or other facility approved by the chief of the Intoxicated Driving Program Unit in the Department of Health and Senior Services; provided that for a third or subsequent offense a person shall not serve a term of imprisonment at an Intoxicated Driver Resource Center as provided in subsection (f).
(a) A person who has been convicted of a previous violation of this section need not be charged as a second or subsequent offender in the complaint made against him in order to render him liable to the punishment imposed by this section on a second or subsequent offender, but if the second offense occurs more than 10 years after the first offense, the court shall treat the second conviction as a first offense for sentencing purposes and if a third offense occurs more than 10 years after the second offense, the court shall treat the third conviction as a second offense for sentencing purposes.
(b) A person convicted under this section must satisfy the screening, evaluation, referral, program and fee requirements of the Division of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse's Intoxicated Driving Program Unit, and of the Intoxicated Driver Resource Centers and a program of alcohol and drug education and highway safety, as prescribed by the chief administrator. The sentencing court shall inform the person convicted that failure to satisfy such requirements shall result in a mandatory two-day term of imprisonment in a county jail and a driver license revocation or suspension and continuation of revocation or suspension until such requirements are satisfied, unless stayed by court order in accordance with the Rules Governing the Courts of the State of New Jersey, orR.S.39:5-22. Upon sentencing, the court shall forward to the Division of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse's Intoxicated Driving Program Unit a copy of a person's conviction record. A fee of $100.00 shall be payable to the Alcohol Education, Rehabilitation and Enforcement Fund established pursuant to section 3 of P.L.1983, c. 531 (C.26:2B-32) to support the Intoxicated Driving Program Unit.
(c) Upon conviction of a violation of this section, the court shall collect forthwith the New Jersey driver's license or licenses of the person so convicted and forward such license or licenses to the chief administrator. The court shall inform the person convicted that if he is convicted of personally operating a motor vehicle during the period of license suspension imposed pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, he shall, upon conviction, be subject to the penalties established in R.S.39:3-40. The person convicted shall be informed orally and in writing. A person shall be required to acknowledge receipt of that written notice in writing. Failure to receive a written notice or failure to acknowledge in writing the receipt of a written notice shall not be a defense to a subsequent charge of a violation of R.S.39:3-40. In the event that a person convicted under this section is the holder of any out-of- State driver's license, the court shall not collect the license but shall notify forthwith the chief administrator, who shall, in turn, notify appropriate officials in the licensing jurisdiction. The court shall, however, revoke the nonresident's driving privilege to operate a motor vehicle in this State, in accordance with this section. Upon conviction of a violation of this section, the court shall notify the person convicted, orally and in writing, of the penalties for a second, third or subsequent violation of this section. A person shall be required to acknowledge receipt of that written notice in writing. Failure to receive a written notice or failure to acknowledge in writing the receipt of a written notice shall not be a defense to a subsequent charge of a violation of this section.
(d) The chief administrator shall promulgate rules and regulations pursuant to the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c. 410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.) in order to establish a program of alcohol education and highway safety, as prescribed by this act.
(e) Any person accused of a violation of this section who is liable to punishment imposed by this section as a second or subsequent offender shall be entitled to the same rights of discovery as allowed defendants pursuant to the Rules Governing the Courts of the State of New Jersey.
(f) The counties, in cooperation with the Division of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse and the commission, but subject to the approval of the Division of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, shall designate and establish on a county or regional basis Intoxicated Driver Resource Centers. These centers shall have the capability of serving as community treatment referral centers and as court monitors of a person's compliance with the ordered treatment, service alternative or community service. All centers established pursuant to this subsection shall be administered by a counselor certified by the Alcohol and Drug Counselor Certification Board of New Jersey or other professional with a minimum of five years' experience in the treatment of alcoholism. All centers shall be required to develop individualized treatment plans for all persons attending the centers; provided that the duration of any ordered treatment or referral shall not exceed one year. It shall be the center's responsibility to establish networks with the community alcohol and drug education, treatment and rehabilitation resources and to receive monthly reports from the referral agencies regarding a person's participation and compliance with the program. Nothing in this subsection shall bar these centers from developing their own education and treatment programs; provided that they are approved by the Division of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse.
Upon a person's failure to report to the initial screening or any subsequent ordered referral, the Intoxicated Driver Resource Center shall promptly notify the sentencing court of the person's failure to comply.
Required detention periods at the Intoxicated Driver Resource Centers shall be determined according to the individual treatment classification assigned by the Intoxicated Driving Program Unit. Upon attendance at an Intoxicated Driver Resource Center, a person shall be required to pay a per diem fee of $75.00 for the first offender program or a per diem fee of $100.00 for the second offender program, as appropriate. Any increases in the per diem fees after the first full year shall be determined pursuant to rules and regulations adopted by the Commissioner of Health and Senior Services in consultation with the Governor's Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse pursuant to the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c. 410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.).
The centers shall conduct a program of alcohol and drug education and highway safety, as prescribed by the chief administrator.
The Commissioner of Health and Senior Services shall adopt rules and regulations pursuant to the "Administrative Procedure Act," P.L.1968, c. 410 (C.52:14B-1 et seq.), in order to effectuate the purposes of this subsection.
(g) When a violation of this section occurs while:
(1) on any school property used for school purposes which is owned by or leased to any elementary or secondary school or school board, or within 1,000 feet of such school property;
(2) driving through a school crossing as defined in R.S.39:1-1 if the municipality, by ordinance or resolution, has designated the school crossing as such; or (3) driving through a school crossing as defined in R.S.39:1-1 knowing that juveniles are present if the municipality has not designated the school crossing as such by ordinance or resolution, the convicted person shall: for a first offense, be fined not less than $500 or more than $800, be imprisoned for not more than 60 days and have his license to operate a motor vehicle suspended for a period of not less than one year or more than two years; for a second offense, be fined not less than $1,000 or more than $2,000, perform community service for a period of 60 days, be imprisoned for not less than 96 consecutive hours, which shall not be suspended or served on probation, nor more than 180 days, except that the court may lower such term for each day, not exceeding 90 days, served performing community service in such form and on such terms as the court shall deem appropriate under the circumstances and have his license to operate a motor vehicle suspended for a period of not less than four years; and, for a third offense, be fined $2,000, imprisoned for 180 days and have his license to operate a motor vehicle suspended for a period of 20 years; the period of license suspension shall commence upon the completion of any prison sentence imposed upon that person.
A map or true copy of a map depicting the location and boundaries of the area on or within 1,000 feet of any property used for school purposes which is owned by or leased to any elementary or secondary school or school board produced pursuant to section 1 of P.L.1987, c. 101 (C.2C:35-7) may be used in a prosecution under paragraph (1) of this subsection. It shall not be relevant to the imposition of sentence pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2) of this subsection that the defendant was unaware that the prohibited conduct took place while on or within 1,000 feet of any school property or while driving through a school crossing. Nor shall it be relevant to the imposition of sentence that no juveniles were present on the school property or crossing zone at the time of the offense or that the school was not in session.
(h) A court also may order a person convicted pursuant to subsection a. of this section, to participate in a supervised visitation program as either a condition of probation or a form of community service, giving preference to those who were under the age of 21 at the time of the offense. Prior to ordering a person to participate in such a program, the court may consult with any person who may provide useful information on the defendant's physical, emotional and mental suitability for the visit to ensure that it will not cause any injury to the defendant. The court also may order that the defendant participate in a counseling session under the supervision of the Intoxicated Driving Program Unit prior to participating in the supervised visitation program. The supervised visitation program shall be at one or more of the following facilities which have agreed to participate in the program under the supervision of the facility's personnel and the probation department:
(1) a trauma center, critical care center or acute care hospital having basic emergency services, which receives victims of motor vehicle accidents for the purpose of observing appropriate victims of drunk drivers and victims who are, themselves, drunk drivers;
(2) a facility which cares for advanced alcoholics or drug abusers, to observe persons in the advanced stages of alcoholism or drug abuse; or
(3) if approved by a county medical examiner, the office of the county medical examiner or a public morgue to observe appropriate victims of vehicle accidents involving drunk drivers.
As used in this section, "appropriate victim" means a victim whose condition is determined by the facility's supervisory personnel and the probation officer to be appropriate for demonstrating the results of accidents involving drunk drivers without being unnecessarily gruesome or traumatic to the defendant.
If at any time before or during a visitation the facility's supervisory personnel and the probation officer determine that the visitation may be or is traumatic or otherwise inappropriate for that defendant, the visitation shall be terminated without prejudice to the defendant. The program may include a personal conference after the visitation, which may include the sentencing judge or the judge who coordinates the program for the court, the defendant, defendant's counsel, and, if available, the defendant's parents to discuss the visitation and its effect on the defendant's future conduct. If a personal conference is not practicable because of the defendant's absence from the jurisdiction, conflicting time schedules, or any other reason, the court shall require the defendant to submit a written report concerning the visitation experience and its impact on the defendant. The county, a court, any facility visited pursuant to the program, any agents, employees, or independent contractors of the court, county, or facility visited pursuant to the program, and any person supervising a defendant during the visitation, are not liable for any civil damages resulting from injury to the defendant, or for civil damages associated with the visitation which are caused by the defendant, except for willful or grossly negligent acts intended to, or reasonably expected to result in, that injury or damage.
The Supreme Court may adopt court rules or directives to effectuate the purposes of this subsection.
(i) In addition to any other fine, fee, or other charge imposed pursuant to law, the court shall assess a person convicted of a violation of the provisions of this section a surcharge of $100, of which amount $50 shall be payable to the municipality in which the conviction was obtained and $50 shall be payable to the Treasurer of the State of New Jersey for deposit into the General Fund.
In order to be found guilty of a DWI, codified as N.J.S.A. 39:4-50(a), the Prosecutor has to establish certain proofs. The language of the DWI statute has been defined as "a substantial deterioration or diminution of the mental faculties or physical capabilities of a person whether it be due to intoxicating liquor, narcotic hallucinogenic or habit-producing drugs." State v Tamburro, 68 N.J. 414, 420-421 (1975). The test for determining being under the influence of alcohol is not fitness or unfitness to drive a car, but rather whether the accused has drank alcohol or ingested drugs to the extent that his or her physical coordination or mental faculties are deleteriously defected. State v. Miller, 64 N.J. Super. 262 (App Div. 1960).
Having defended hundreds of DWI's, the signs that police usually reference to support a conviction for DWI based upon the officer's physical observations are: (1) the smell of alcohol on a person's breath; (2) blood-shot eyes; (3) slurred speech; (4) fumbling for documents; (5) staggering or stumbling; (6) poor driving; and (7) inability to perform field sobriety tests.

As part of a group of about 20 people, we filmed events by camera phone or hand held camera, that were happening around the city and then sent the videos, about 30 seconds in length, back to the 'meta hub'.
The films were then edited by their team and projected onto a many sided cube sculpture, therefore providing a mash up of the night in one place.
My favourite piece was the one above on the right.
You had to queue up for about 10 minutes to see the work, which in itself added some atmosphere to the event as all the other pieces you could just stumble across.
Firstly you entered a room which was completely black and then strobe lights began at the opposite end of the room, so people began to walk towards them. You then entered into a second room and the strobes stopped for a few seconds. The lights fully came on and you could see you were in a room, surrounded by life size sculptures of naked men, from the knees up on plinths. Their faces were dripping.
The strobes then started up again at a fast pace and it was hard to walk around without walking into a sculpture or an actual person.
I thought that the whole experience was so immersive for the audience. It was quite a simple idea but it seemed to me to be the most interesting use of digital media of Blanche Nuit. Personally I was terrified by the flashes of the sculptures and it reminded me of Doctor Who, however a lot of the children found it exciting and were peering through the door to see peoples reactions as they were in there.
The Generation in Transition exhibition presents the artworks of a young generation of artists of Indian origin, living and working in India, as well as in America and Europe. It is the first extensive showcase of contemporary art from this region presented in Central Europe in recent years. For about twenty years now, India has been experiencing an enormous economic and technological development, which has had a substantial impact on social structures. This change, with its positive and negative aspects, is frequently reflected in the works of contemporary artists, especially in those of the youngest ones who have grown up in these interesting times of transition.
I recently attended this exhibition at Zacheta. Particular favourites were this film by Bharat Sikka – The Ceremony.
On a purely fun level, I enjoyed this piece which was a small house, like a wendy house, but when entered had mirrored walls, floor and ceiling making it seem infinitely large. It was also a great excuse to take some photos.
Also another thing worth mentioning is the epic sculpture/architecture at the back of this building in Old Town.

17th Century Investors: Female
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged 17th century, england, female investor, globe theater, Marlowe, shakespeare on January 12, 2023| 2 Comments »
Art: Georges de La Tour, 17th century.
I'm not suggesting that 17th century female investors were pickpockets, but they knew what they were doing.
Do you get the feeling these days that history is in constant flux? It all has to do with how past historians emphasized the role of people with whom they identified, omitting the perspective of women, say, or indigenous people and people of color.
The Guardian is good at finding research with a new historical angle, as in today's article about 17th century female arts investors. Who knew?
Dalya Alberge reported recently on research into the women who bankrolled a rival to the Globe theatre, which we know was famous for Shakespeare's productions.
"Male performers may have dominated the early modern stage," Alberge writes, "but female investors were a driving force behind one of the foremost playhouses of the 17th century, according to new research.
"Academics have discovered that women made up a large part of the financial force behind the Fortune theatre, the great rival to the Globe, partly built by the actor for whom Christopher Marlowe wrote plays, and where Thomas Middleton's dramas were first staged.
"While a few women investors in the Fortune were previously known, it has now been revealed that they made up a third of the playhouse's financial backers between the mid-1620s and late 1640s. Of 71 investors, including the carpenter who had worked on the playhouse, 24 were women and, from time to time, owned the majority of shares. While some inherited theirs, others purchased them for themselves, despite having no previous connection with the theatre.
"Lucy Munro, professor of Shakespeare and early modern literature at King's College London, told the Observer that, in researching the playhouse, she never expected to discover that women had such a huge financial stake in it. …
" 'We know that the people who performed in plays at the Fortune were men and boys, but I find it really exciting that these women thought that the theatre was for them, and that it wasn't just for men.'
"The Fortune theatre was built in 1600 by Edward Alleyn, one of the foremost actors of his day, and his stepfather-in-law, Philip Henslowe, the most important English theatre owner and manager of the Elizabethan age. …
"Its initial resident company was the Admiral's Men, on whom James I bestowed the patronage of his son, Prince Henry. Audiences flocked to see plays such as Doctor Faustus by Marlowe and The Roaring Girl by Thomas Dekker and Middleton. The playhouse was named after the Roman goddess of fortune but it was destroyed by a fire in 1621, almost a decade after the Globe burned down.
"The research has been conducted by Munro and Clare McManus, professor of early modern literature and theatre at the University of Roehampton.
"In [an] online post, they write: 'In order to finance rebuilding the playhouse – this time in brick – Alleyn created a 12-part lease, issuing full and half shares in the second Fortune to investors who paid £83 6s 8d for a full share and £41 13s 4d for a half share. This would be around £11,000 [$13,000] and £5,500 [$6,600] today, so leaseholders had to be relatively well-off.'
"But they add: 'Most of these women came from what historians have termed the "middling sort" – those who were neither very rich nor very poor. They were the daughters, wives and widows of London tradesmen, officials and actors. Many of them had enough literacy to leave signatures or complex marks on legal documents such as wills and depositions.' Munro said: 'These playhouses were vulnerable but, when it was going well, they could make a lot of money.' …
"The Fortune's female investors included Margaret Wayte Wigpitt, widow of its bricklayer Thomas, and Elizabeth Pierpoint, a servant whose appreciative mistress had left her two half shares.
"While documentation for early modern playhouse investment rarely survives, original lease documents issued by Alleyn are within the archive of his papers at Dulwich College, the charity he founded in 1619.
"The academics write … 'These fascinating documents detail the payment – or nonpayment – of rent by the Fortune leaseholders, quarter by quarter, between 1626 and 1649, when the college evicted the leaseholders for nonpayment of rent during the civil war. …
"Asked why the Fortune's female investment had been overlooked until now, Munro said documents had been 'almost hiding in plain sight' in the archives: 'They are catalogued, but only in an outlined sort of way. I'd actually come across a reference from a scholar saying that the Fortune's accounts don't survive. Well, they do.'
"Noting that they also studied wills and other documents at the National Archives at Kew, she believes historians have often stopped researching after reaching 1616, the year of Shakespeare's death, because they were more interested in him than anything else: 'But interesting things happened after that.' "
Can't help wondering what else these women were investing in. After all, it was really not entirely new in the 1600s for women to invest. Remember my post of a couple years ago about a female investor back in 1870 BC? Read that here. More at the Guardian, here.
Artemisia Gentileschi and "Modesty"
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged 17th century, Artemisia Gentileschi, artist, painter, restore, woman on December 14, 2022| 6 Comments »
Art: Artemisia Gentileschi via Wikimedia Commons.
Artemisia Gentileschi, an an Italian Baroque painter, is considered one of the 17th century's most accomplished artists. Shown here is her "Allegory of Inclination" (1616).
Have you been seeing the name of seventeenth-century painter Artemisia Gentileschi mentioned more these days? I have. Finally the world is coming to grips the astonishing proposition that some female artists are better than many male artists.
Elaine Velie has some thoughts on Gentileschi at Hyperallergic.
"In 1616, the 22-year-old artist Artemisia Gentileschi painted a nude woman perched in the clouds and holding a compass at the Florence home of Michelangelo Buonarroti the Younger, Michaelangelo's great-nephew. The work was the first in the Buonarroti family's home gallery dedicated to their famous ancestor, and the impasto ceiling painting, likely a self-portrait, was also one of Gentileschi's first commissions. 'Allegory of Inclination' remained untouched for around 70 years until a descendant of Michelangelo Buonarroti commissioned the Late Baroque painter Baldassarre Franceschini (il Volterrano) to paint draping over the nude figure in the interest of modesty.
"Now, the former Buonarroti residence is the Casa Buonarroti museum, and a team of conservators there is working to 'virtually restore the original appearance' of the painting in a project called 'Artemisia Unveiled.' Using imaging techniques such as X-rays and raking light to examine the over 400-year-old brush strokes, the team will determine which additions were Gentileschi's and which were Franceschini's, and the final result will be an uncensored image.
"Elizabeth Wick, the restorer leading the project, told the Florentine that the team will not physically alter the existing painting for two reasons: Franceschini's layer is considered a historic addition that contributes to the painting's story, and since the two layers of paint were applied only 70 years apart, removing Franceschini's draping would likely damage Gentileschi's original coat of paint. …
"Gentileschi's success in the male-dominated art world of 17th-century Italy, and the woman-focused subject matter of her work, have turned her into somewhat of a feminist icon. Although she earned recognition during her lifetime, Gentileschi's work has been revisited in recent years through museum shows and other conservation projects."
More at Hyperallergic, here. No firewall, but contributions are sought.
At Wikipedia, we learn that Gentileschi started out working in the style of Caravaggio and "was producing professional work by the age of 15. In an era when women had few opportunities to pursue artistic training or work as professional artists, Gentileschi was the first woman to become a member of the Accademia di Arte del Disegno in Florence, and she had an international clientele.
"Many of Gentileschi's paintings feature women from myths, allegories, and the Bible, including victims, suicides, and warriors. Some of her best known subjects are Susanna and the Elders (particularly the 1610 version in Pommersfelden), Judith Slaying Holofernes (her 1614–1620 version is in the Uffizi gallery), and Judith and Her Maidservant (her version of 1625 is in the Detroit Institute of Arts).
"Gentileschi was known for being able to depict the female figure with great naturalism and for her skill in handling color to express dimension and drama. … For many years Gentileschi was regarded as a curiosity, but her life and art have been reexamined by scholars in the 20th and 21st centuries. She is now regarded as one of the most progressive and expressive painters of her generation."
P.S. Check out SJ Bennett's Queen Elizabeth II murder mystery, All the Queen's Men, in which the Queen's Gentileschi painting plays an important role.
Female Contemporary of Caravaggio

Self-Portrait as Saint Catherine by Artemisia Gentileschi, a painter whose reputation is second only to Caravaggio among 17th-century Italian artists.
Lately, I've been following a really cool twitter feed called Women's Art, @womensart1. It's astonishing how many women, known and unknown, have been creating beautiful works over the centuries. Paintings, embroidery, sculpture, photos, quilts — you name it. The pictures have been an absolute treat.
Speaking of women's art, I just learned about Artemisia Gentileschi, a painter whose reputation is apparently second only to Caravaggio among 17th-century Italian artists.
Paul Jeromack reported at Art Newspaper that she recently scored a big price at auction. Too bad she doesn't get to benefit.
"A previously unknown Self-Portrait as Saint Catherine," writes Jeromack, "sold at Drouot in Paris on 19 December for an artist record of €2,360,600 [about $2.9 million]. …
"The work, which dates from the same period (1614-16) as another Saint Catherine picture by the artist held by the Uffizi, was discovered by auctioneer Christophe Joron-Derem and presented in his sale of European paintings. …
"Lionised as an icon of feminist empowerment and artistic accomplishment since the 1970s … Gentileschi was canny enough to exploit her singular fame as a female painter in the form of self-portraits in the guise of religious or allegorical figures (her most notable depiction by another artist is by her friend Simon Vouet, who portrayed her with her brushes and palette and a wonderfully commanding swagger). …
"Despite the artist's popularity, she is not represented in many important museums: neither of the National Galleries in London or Washington, DC, nor the Getty, nor the Louvre, which curiously did not pre-empt the sale under French patrimony laws. While the picture's relatively modest size of 71 sq. cm would endear it to private collectors, one hopes a major museum would be astute enough to acquire it." More here.
Don't you love it when someone "discovers" a lost masterpiece? That's what I dream of — finding a masterpiece at a garage sale. Or like the blogger Things I Find in the Garbage, finding something amazing dumped on the curb.

The hospitality industry has come a long way since the "coaching" inns of medieval Europe. Technology and transportation have advanced to the point that the world has over 21 million hotels. This enormous figure is more unwieldy, as hotel micro-brands proliferate. It's no longer enough for many hotels to just provide a consistent experience and a comfortable bed. It's about a connection to the location. It's about community. It's about merging seamless technology with memorable hospitality. While it's never been easy to be a hotelier, today's landscape is a vibrant and exciting place for hotel professionals.

To many swimmers the Summer is an excellent time to take a break from swimming. The mental hiatus often outweighs the missed training. Some swimmers need this time off to avoid "burning out", and they will often return in the Fall with a renewed excitement for swimming.
To other swimmers, the Summer is an excellent time to break barriers and focus completely on training. Its also an important time to train in long course 50 meter (Olympic Size) pool. In Maine there are no long course pools, yet the Summer Championship meet is held in St. John, New Brunswick in a long course pool. To prepare for a pool more than twice as long as the one they train in, coaches train their athletes with sets of 125s and 225s, opposed to 100s and 200s. Its the most effective way to prepare, but its not quite the same. There is a another way, but not in Maine.
As a swimmer who knows how beneficial the Summer season can be, I have decided that it is time to begin earning valuable experience in a long course pool. In order to qualify for Olympic Trials a cut time must be swum in a long course pool. The best way to achieve that goal is to spend some significant time training in one.
I have moved from Bangor for the summer to the closest long course pool – the Jenny Thompson pool in Dover, NH. There are significantly fewer meets in Maine during the summer, thus I have decided to use this blog to describe my Summer as I train in pursuit of the "Olympic Dream".
With two years until the 2016 Olympic Trials in Omaha, training begins now.

The sweetheart of America, Sandra Bullock is facing bad times in her personal life, according to sources that claim her husband Jesse James cheated on her.
The best actress for 2010 that won an Oscar mentioned in her winner speech, that her husband Jesse is her biggest help. Apparently less than 10 days after the event, Sandra will have to fight for her marriage.
The couple met before several years and we finally saw Sandra happy. Yet, just as in a Hollywood fairytale, everything changes.
Reports inform that Jesse had a 11-month secret affair with Michelle "Bombshell" McGee.
Michelle even made a statement to reveal she thought Sandra and Jesse are no longer together. While Sandra was shooting The Blind Side, Jesse had fun with Michelle. There is no official announcement about the rumors, but Sandra had cancelled her premiere in London due to personal reasons.
The news caused different reactions in the society. Sandra is one of the America's favorite actresses. In her movies she often plays beloved women. The bad news is that Sandra's movies often come to a good end, so it seems the actress has to fight for her happiness in her private life.


>>> in FFmpeg already caused a lot of related issues.
>> if its used with any libavformat or different code.
>> Did any application use / depend on this specific "buggy" format ?
If only the format the encoder creates is changed that probably is fine, I am not aware of any application using the encoder.
However for the decoder compatibility is important, since to my knowledge several players use it with their won demuxers instead of libavformat.
Am I correct that the patch only changes encoder and muxer?

Well, that didn't take long. No sooner had Caltech scientists found a ninth planet than people on YouTube started predicting that we're ALL DOOMED.
Conspiracy theory fans have long predicted that there IS a ninth planet – Nibiru, also known as Wormwood or The Destroyer.
Nibiru, for the uninitiated, is what was meant to smash into our planet in the 'Mayan apocalypse' in 2012.
Begley admits he's not sure – but predicts that this discovery may well herald doom.
He says, 'If you go into the gospel of Saint Luke, Luke 21, verse 10, "Nation shall rise against nation.
MORE: What is 'Nibiru' – and is it really going to crash into our planet in December?
Meanwhile, astrologer Jonathan Cainer has taken a (slightly) calmer view, saying, 'Planet 9, I believe, is a herald of positive transformation, not a portent of doom.
'Notice how news of Planet 9 arrived on a day when the priests of prosperity were panicking. World stock exchanges were in almost unprecedented turmoil. The commodities market was (and still is) being turned upside down. Traditionally safe bets are clearly safe no longer.


A new x-ray scanner at Phoenix's Sky Harbor International Airport takes skin-deep photos of passengers to detect guns and explosives, but should personal privacy be the price of safety?
Dubbed backscatter , such x-ray scanning systems are capable of photographing the bodies of individuals through clothing, producing a composite image of the contours of each passenger's body. The technology, which has been successfully tested at London's Heathrow Airport and a number of prisons, hasn't been implemented in U.S. airports due to privacy concerns.
Backscatter now faces its introduction to the United States following a revision to the system by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) that blurs out private areas while still allowing for the detection of any dangerous materials that passengers may be carrying. The exact date of backscatter's debut has yet to be set upon, but the TSA has said that it will be featured in Terminal 4 at Phoenix Sky Harbor, which handles about 80 percent of all passengers there.
We're hoping to have it up for the increased traffic we are anticipating over the holiday and the bowl games, said Paul Armes, regional federal security director for the TSA.
Not all passengers will be required to pass through the backscatter, however. The device will initially be used as a secondary means of scanning for passengers that fail an initial pass through the standard metal detectors.
It's absolutely predictable that as this technology becomes commonplace, you're going to start seeing those images all over the Internet.
Despite public skepticism TSA officials contend that revisions to the backscatter will fully protect the privacy of passengers. One precaution being taken to ensure passenger privacy is a remote screening process, meaning that only off-site officials in private rooms will be able to view the images. The TSA has also said that images taken by the backscatter will not be stored in the system, but rather deleted immediately after a photo is taken to eliminate abuse.
We did have concerns about the privacy issue before this current technology was available, said Deborah Ostreicher, Deputy Aviation Director for the TSA. But we are assured that passengers will be protected.
Assuming that all goes well with the initial run of the backscatter at Sky Harbor, similar technologies will be introduced to a number of other major U.S. airports early in 2007.

Fascinating fantasy-adventure-drama, with a walk-about through the realms of a slightly different existence, all of which leads to the possibility of romance - and love. If you've ever felt that there is a special someone meant just for you, and that there are forces at work to bring the two of you together...here you go!
This is one of those stories, beautifully written, that gives you something unexpected. I love the mystical aspects of some cultures, and the ones here are woven with great care, and are immensely captivating. A satisfying read I heartily recommend.
