text: What Accessibility Means for Educational Content What Accessibility Means for Educational Content Accessible products ensure that individuals of all abilities have equal access to information, learning tools, and functionality. But understanding how accessibility applies to educational content and keeping track of the requirements can be overwhelming to non-experts. Many of our customers have told us they don't consider themselves very savvy in this area, but they do understand the importance of accessibility requirements. They also have peace of mind knowing that Wiley products comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1). Wiley products are ADA compliant in many ways: 1. Alternative Text (Alt Text): Alt text provides contextual meaning to images and illustrations to enhance the reading experience. Non-visual browsers and screen readers express alt text to readers when images are not accessible. 2.

It also includes an accessibility checker so instructors can be sure their custom content meets the needs of all students. What Is WCAG 2.1?WCAG 2.1 is a set of international technical standards for web content accessibility. Most recently updated in June 2018, the guidelines are intended to ensure web content is directly accessible to as many people as possible and able to be represented in different formats to match various sensory, physical, and cognitive abilities. Guidelines are developed through the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and can apply to web pages, text, images, sound, and more. There are 13 guidelines organized under four principles that require content to be (1) perceivable, (2) operable, (3) understandable, and (4) robust. In order to conform with a guideline, specific success criteria must be met and assessed at one of three levels of conformance: A, AA, and AAA. Read more about WCAG 2.1 and w3.org. Wiley's Commitment to EqualityWiley is a founding member of the AccessText Network and a member of the Association of American Publisher's Critical Issues Task Force. Each initiative aims to streamline the delivery of accessible content to disabled learners.

Born on BBC Three
The BBC's youth channel has faced brickbats for its tabloid-titled documentaries and some of its less salubrious, flashy output. But as the axe hangs over the 11-year--old channel, it's never been more important to remember its crucial role as a nursery slope to help new, distinctive comedies to find their feet. Here, then, are our top ten shows to have made their TV debut on the channel.
1. Pulling
A funny show with believably awful characters, Pulling was not well served by BBC Three when it was pulled after two series, to the chagrin of co-creators Sharon Horgan and Dennis Kelly. Not that either suffered too badly, Horgan is busy with more American projects than you could shake a stick at and Kelly went off to write the Matilda musical with Tim Minchin. Still, Pulling is a great show about selfish suburbanites and deserves not to be forgotten.
2. Nighty Night
This jet-black 2004 sitcom is Julia Davis's twisted masterpiece, in which she plays Jill – essentially a psychopath whose obsession with her doctor neighbour Don, played by Angus Deayton, causes her to inflict all manner of traumas on her cancer-suffering husband (Kevin Eldon) and Don's wheelchair-using wife Cathy (Rebecca Front). Don't forget that Ruth Jones was in it, too, as Jill's assistant
3. Little Britain
Little Britain's origins might have been on radio, but it was BBC Three that adapted it for the screen. And it became such a mainstream phenomenon, with its quotable catchphrases, that it can be hard to remember it started on the fringes. A sketch show with exaggerated characters was deeply unfashionable – and probably would be again today – but it was given space to grow in popularity, on BBC Three, then Two, the One, becoming, for a year or two, *the* defining show of British comedy and the sort of soaraway hit commissioners dream of. Would it have been the same if parachuted straight into a primetime slot?
4. Gavin & Stacey
Another show that made the transition from BBC Three to BBC One over its three series, James Corden and Ruth Jones's amiable romantic comedy has become something of a modern, audience-pleasing classic, as its formidable Christmas ratings proved. No wonder The Guardian described it as 'BBC Thee's biggest breakout comedy hit since Little Britain.' And it remains a uniquely British show, since several attempts at a US remake have tanked.
5. The Mighty Boosh
Another show that, after Edinburgh Fringe acclaim, started its broadcast life on radio (unusually, on BBC London, when it was produced by Danny Wallace). However The Mighty Boosh wouldnot be the cult it is today were it not for finding a home on BBC Three. It's hard to see what other broadcaster would have touched Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt's surreal carnival in 2001, especially since BBC Two had gone all lifestyley by then.
6. Uncle
BBC Three's latest hit stars stand-up Nick Helm as a sleazy, depressed, immature man who forms a bond with his weirdly geeky 12-year-old nephew Errol (excellently played by Elliot Speller-Gillott). The show's got edge, not to mention a lot of heart, and has rightly just been picked up for a second series – though we'll have to wait to next year to see it.
7. Ideal
Long-running and with a large cast led by Johnny Vegas, Ideal was almost comedy's twisted take on the soap opera, with small-time drug dealer Moz actually being the sanest one among his coterie of Salford oddballs. It was axed in 2011 after seven series, still in its prime with ever-growing audience numbers and consistently intriguing scripts from creator Graham Duff. Shame.
8. Russell Howard's Good News
A vaguely topical stand-up show, with a lot of inspiration drawn from what's shared on social media might not be the most inspired format, but Russell Howard's likeable enthusiasm has seen this show through eight series. Crucially it has also given invaluable TV breaks to scores of up-and-coming comics, not all of whom would fit the formats of panel shows or shiny-floor stand-up extravaganzas.
9. Him & Her
Charm-filled leads Russell Tovey and Sarah Solemani take the edge off Stefan Golaszewski's often earthy – but always witty – script. In many ways the antithesis of the loud, brash shows that define BBC Three, Him & Her came to a classy end just before Christmas, after four critically-acclaimed series.
10. Mongrels
A flawed but valiant attempt to produced a British equivalent of larger-than-life animation shows such as Family Guy and American Dad, both imports having long been stalwarts of the channel. A foul-mouthed depiction of animal life on the tough streets of South London, Mongrels was a mixed bag, but again its bold approach is something a mainstream channel might have baulked at, or at least tried to water down.

If it is on the menu when I am out, you can bet I will be ordering Salt & Chilli Tofu. It has to be one of my all time favourite dishes, but one I have never quite managed to perfect. My biggest problem was them tasting a bit "floury", but after numerous attempts I finally created a recipe I am proud of! It is really easy to make and does not take long at all (apart from the 30 minutes or so of waiting for the tofu).
Whenever we have this recently I serve it up with noodles and a curry of some sort, the current fave is a satay curry look out for the recipe in the coming weeks! But anyhoo, enough prattling, the recipe for my salt & chilli tofu is below….
1 x block tofu
4 x tablespoons corn flour
2 x teaspoons salt
2 x teaspoons black pepper
2 x teaspoons garlic powder
2 x chillies, finely chopped
2 x cloves garlic, finely chopped
4 x spring onions, roughly chopped
Cut the tofu into bite sized chunks and prepare it as usual (instructions on how to prep it are here)
Mix together the flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder
Coat each piece of tofu in the mixture
Fry the tofu pieces in around a centimetre of oil in a wok, be sure not to over fill the pan, I tend to do 3 batches
Each batch will take around 5 minutes to cook
After all the tofu is cooked remove it from the oil and add in the chillis, garlic and spring onions
Allow them to fry for a couple of minutes, but do not let them burn
Top the tofu with the mixture and then serve immediately
Let me know if you like it!

ISEAS 2019 click to open the video
Katja Juhola has organized four international symposiums on social art in Raseborg Finland annually.
Each year, around 10-20 to each other unknown artists live together in the same house for 10-15 days. They work in small groups as well as as one big group and go to Mari Krappala's mentored discussions individually, in small groups and among the whole group. The symposium also always includes a documenting group made up of a videographer and a photographer.
In 2017, Juhola had agreed on institutions, communities and artists working with them in advance. The artists had been in touch with the target groups before the symposium began, and the artistic work was already well planned when the communities met their artist. 2018 ISEAS tried another approach; just by requesting the performances of some of Raseborg's public outdoor and indoor spaces.
The Artists' Group discussed the upcoming artistic activities for three days. Thereafter, they conducted three impromptu experimental interventions, each of which contacted the audience or invited them into action in different ways. Juhola's goal has been to develop the methodology of artistic work with communities all over the world. The Symposium has spread social art messages with artists in more than 20 countries.
In 2019, ISEAS explores relationships between man and nature. It produces community-based events in which an international artist and environmental researcher working with nature, communities, lake, mussels, mushrooms and trees interacting with each other. ISEAS raises the impression that we are part of a larger entity. Community-based work has three goals: to bring environmental research into communities' worldview, to cope with the local natural conditions and to ask people how to live in an equal relationship with elements of nature, animals, plants, and non-living objects.
ISEAS is supported by:
Cultural foundations of Finland, Kone Foundation, the Town of Raseborg, Karis – Pojo Sparbank Foundation, Osuuskunta Kanslia, Oskar Öflunds Stiftelse sr Foundation

Christian Dior, Cloud 9, Guess, Hunter, LazerBitch, Nordstrom, Ottobar, style, StyleMaker, Target, Wedges, Zappos
I'm so excited to introduce you to a new series, Charm City StyleMakers. This is an opportunity to meet some of Baltimore's most stylish residents, to hear what helps define their personal style, and find out their favorite places to shop.
Today, I'd like to introduce you to Lazer Libby. As the lead singer of LazerBitch, she has amazing stage style, but don't think you'll catch her off stage looking anything but totally polished, because no matter what color her hair is she is impeccable every time. She's the friend who, while you're totally excited to go out with her, you start outfit planning days in advance because… let's face it, you know you're going to be with one of the hottest girls in the room. And to top it all off, her job title actually is H.B.I.C. All this fabulousness wrapped up in to one beautiful, creative, animal loving (you can see her adorable cat Bogey below), awesome chic I get to call my friend.
How would you describe your personal style?
Casual but sophisticated. Classic but never stuffy or old. I prefer items that I can wear for years that will always look good, and that never go out of style. I spend all my money on my animals, so there's not a lot left over for clothes…lol. If I'm making a purchase, I have to be able to justify it. I have to ask myself: "Will I wear this more than once?" I usually end up buying items in "safe" colors (black, neutral) because I know that will extend their timeless factor.
What are 5 things currently in your closet you can't live without?
1. Glossy graphite colored Hunter Boots: They're multifunctional. I can wear them as everyday boots, or with the Welly socks(mine are pink!) on the rare occasion that it snows here.
2. Mossimo for Target sand colored platform wedges: They literally complete almost every look in my closet be it with jeans, a skirt, or a dress, and I can walk over the cobblestone in Fells Point in them without breaking my neck. I've broken heels on that damn cobblestone before. Wedges are a more formidable shoe choice for City nights out on the town due to this reason.
3. Guess mulberry winter coat: I HATE being cold, and I HATE bulky winter jackets. Most places don't have a coat check, so if I'm going to be leaving my coat on, it had better look good. This coat does just that, while keeping me warm at the same time.
4. Levis Skinny dark wash jeans: I wear these on my casual days, and on my dressy days. I used to hate skinny jeans, until I bought this pair. They fit me like a dream, and they were $30. Total win.
5. Christian Dior black saddle bag: This is what I call my "rent bag"…lol. When my cat had cancer, I tried to sell it to pay for her chemo…which definitely indicated how much I loved my cat, because this bag is something I always saw myself handing down to my brother's kids…when he eventually has them..because I'm not having kids! Definitely an heirloom piece. It is so insanely classy, and there is nothing else like it. I know this bag was knocked off in the denim fabric quite a bit, but the black one was never duplicated. It's almost impossible to find this bag now, as it was a limited edition.
Special thanks to Libby for providing photos of her favorite items!
What are your Favorite places to shop (large retailers, online, and local)?
Nordstrom, Target, Zappos, and Cloud 9. You can never go wrong with Nordstrom. They have the best buyers. Target too. I go into Target for toilet paper and end up leaving with a pair of shoes too. Zappos literally has it all, and free shipping paired with THE BEST customer service(aside from Nordstrom). I'm a total sucker for amazing customer service. Cloud 9 always has some awesome gems, and it's local to boot. I bought an oversize grey cowl neck Dolman style sweater from them in 2009, that I get ENDLESS compliments on to this day.
What current trend do you love and how do you or would you wear it? What current trend can you not wait to cool off?
I love everything with crosses! Nastygal.com has this dope dress with a sheer cross on the chest. I have to figure out a way to justify the splurge. The trend that I can't stand is chicks in expensive designer sneakers. Especially the wedge sneakers. Ick. I like my women in heels. : )
If you won the lottery, what is one style related purchase you would make?
The Victoria Beckham Limited Edition Range Rover. It's so bad ass. I LOVE Victoria Beckham's style, and I could still take this baby camping. What a merge of form and function!
See? I told you she was awesome! I personally can't wait to see what she wears this Friday, February 15th, to her birthday party. Come join us if you can, at The Ottobar (you can find all the details here) and celebrate in the most stylish way! And if you're looking for something new to jam out to and help you get to Friday, here's her newest!

Interium Greensboro police chief discusses public relations crisis
Greensboro's interim police chief fielded questions from the Triad's spinners and ferreters during a May 9 luncheon address at the UNCG Alumni House headlined, '"Keeping Credibility During Times of Crisis.'"As awkward fellow travelers who traffic in the same commodity of information, albeit for different purposes, the reporters were the grateful guests of a group of Triad-area public relations professionals, drinking iced tea and dining on lunch meat and potato salad at the invitation of the Public Relations Society of America's Tar Heel Chapter.After an introduction by Rick Hodson, the chapter president and a communications specialist at Lorillard Tobacco Co., interim chief Tim Bellamy stepped to the podium. Responding to questions from the public relations professionals, he suggested the department has no master plan in place to perform damage control. Far from molding public perceptions, he suggested it's all the command staff can do to keep pace with the new developments. Bellamy came across as straightforward, honest and good humored, but stopped short of discussing any of the findings of the department's ongoing investigation into abuses under his predecessor, David Wray. He maneuvered around any discussion of confidential personnel issues. The interim chief told the public relations professionals that supervisors on the police force already get media and community relations training, and the department hasn't really initiated any changes in that regard since the scandal broke. Reporters raised more sensitive questions.When asked if he sensed there was a group of white police officers who might resent his leadership as a black police chief, Bellamy took a deep breath and smiled.'"There may be one or two people,'" Bellamy said. '"Most of the officers, white and black, male and female, have expressed to me that they're glad I'm there. That's true for the community. The only reason I was put in the position is I was the senior person on the command staff.'"Without prompting he discussed the revelations of the previous administration's practice of recording conversations with community leaders.'"Three weeks ago we found some disturbing information that citizens had been secretly recorded,'" Bellamy said. '"I said to myself, 'It can't possibly get any worse than this.""The interim chief said the department has always recorded conversations with suspects in the course of criminal investigations, and while it's not against the law to secretly record ordinary citizens he doesn't believe it's appropriate. He added that the department has no written policy on when it's appropriate to record people.Bellamy said the recordings were made over the past two to three years, and targeted 12 individuals.On the matter of the leaked confidential city-commissioned report that was produced by Risk Management Associates and ended up in the possession of the News & Record, Bellamy suggested he's less concerned than the mayor and members of the Greensboro City Council. '"I have a job to enforce the law; they have a job to report the news,'" he said. '"It hasn't hampered our ability to investigate the case.'"Bellamy said the police department is not committing any resources toward determining which city staff member or city council member might have participated in the leak.'"There is some misdemeanor violation there,'" he said. '"The city manager is investigating that. We're not handling that.'"The interim chief said the string of revelations has not significantly damaged either community trust or morale within the department.'"My number-one priority is to respond to citizens' calls for services,'" he said. '"No matter what happens, no matter what comes out in the newspaper '— that's our job. Thus far the citizens I've been in contact with have said there's been no loss in services.'"Bellamy said he can't measure morale on the force with complete certainty.'"When I talk to the line officers they say the morale is very high,'" he said. '"Last year this time of year the morale was very low.'"The department has always struggled to recruit minority officers, he added. It's too early to tell whether interest from non-white applicants is up or down.Bellamy said he hasn't decided whether he'll apply for the job once the city begins a search for a full-fledged chief, but he indicated he expects to be around for the foreseeable future.'"As far as I know there will be a national search,'" he said. '"We did not put any timetable on how long this process would take. It's been a time-consuming job. The two top officers left so it's doubled and tripled the amount of work we have to do.'"Bellamy declined to speculate on how long it might take to satisfactorily address all the questions raised about abuses under former chief Wray. '"Up until three weeks ago I thought we were over the mountain,'" he said. '"Now, who knows? We could have another revelation tomorrow.'"To comment on this story, e-mail Jordan Green at firstname.lastname@example.com

Pombo Wants Home-State Support
by Associated Press
WASHINGTON -- The California rancher and congressman whose committee oversees environmental policy wants to enlist some home-state muscle in his campaign to rewrite the Endangered Species Act.
House Resources Committee Chairman Richard Pombo, R-Calif., said hell seek backing for his legislative efforts from Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and other Western state governors during a meeting this weekend of the Western Governors Association.
I think that having the governor on board is critical for a lot of different reasons, particularly the impact that the act has had on California, and I think he also helps influence a lot of people, Pombo said in an interview.
Its critical to have the governors on board with any legislative effort that we make, Pombo said.
Pombos committee passed bills this year that would change the 30-year-old act by requiring peer review before a species can be listed as endangered and allowing critical habitat to be designated for species only when practicable.
Environmentalists said the changes would gut the landmark law. Pombo and other property rights supporters said they were needed to improve a law they contend creates unreasonable regulatory hurdles for property owners while failing to help many species.
The Western Governors Association, which has 18 member governors now split between 12 Republicans and six Democrats, has supported reforming the Endangered Species Act for years. The group has convened an Endangered Species Act Executive Summit for Dec. 3-4 in San Diego.
What the governors would say is that the act is not meeting its intended purpose, which is to recover species, said Shaun McGrath, the groups program manager.
Schwarzenegger is expected to attend, but the moderate Republican has sided with environmentalists on some issues, and a spokeswoman said he hasnt taken a position on rewriting the Endangered Species Act.
As the ESA reform legislation makes its way through Congress next year the governor will be tracking it closely to make sure Californias interests are represented, said spokeswoman Ashley Snee.

Kiwi's PlayhouseFind it near you
The kiwi fruit is a very odd thing indeed. It's sweet, tart, playful....but also brown, furry, and supernatural green on the inside. Frankly, the kiwi is altogether weird, but it's also pretty delicious. Did we go there? We sure did, by peeling an entire pallet-full of ripe fresh kiwi fruit and adding it to a finely tuned sour beer in red wine barrels for a few months. We blended this with another beer that's spent over a year in barrels to add extra complexity, and then re-fermented it all in the bottle.
The result is Kiwi's Playhouse, a strong, playful beer with a distinctly tart edge. Kiwi's Playhouse sports a bright palate that's dry, full of tropical fruit and more delicious than eye-watering. It's great with everything you want to eat this summer - barbecue, fish tacos, seafood, salads, goat cheeses. Forget the rosé and get yourself into Kiwi's Playhouse. Trust us - it's more fun in here.
Malts: 2-row, Pale, Wheat Malt
Additions: Our proprietary Lactobacillus strain for souring, fresh ripe kiwis
Hops: Willamette, Perle, Simcoe, Amarillo
Alcohol by Volume: 8.1%
Food Pairings: Barbecue, fish tacos, fresh fruit, seafood, salads, and goat cheeses, garden parties, rooftops, Summer Fridays, and celebrations

Bedroom demo: Archviz with SSRR
As you may know, Unity 5.3, due early December, is currently scheduled to come with screen-space raytraced reflections. So earlier this year the Demo Team grabbed an early internal build with the SSRR and took it for a spin to see how it would behave. (Edited 11/11/2015 Unfortunately, the SSRR feature has been delayed, and won't be released with Unity 5.3. Check the Unity Roadmap for the latest release schedule information).
We also wanted to see how an architectural interior would look in Unity and what level of visual quality we could get from our latest technology. Here is a video preview of the result we got:
Conveniently, there are some very useful online asset libraries for high quality architectural models and scenes, and they come with very affordable prices, so we just grabbed a scene that seemed suitable for the job and quickly set it up in Unity:
Most of the assets are used directly as-is, with some minor adjustments, mainly adding lightmap UV's and the occasional optimisation of the high-poly meshes.
We thought it would be nice to be able to change colour and textures of some objects, so we added a simple interface that allows you to do that. For the additional textures of floors and wallpapers, we used again an online library.
Setting up the lighting in Unity is quite simple. We have an environment HDR cubemap for the exterior, directional light for the sun, and a spot light in each lamp.
This was rather straightforward, but it also brought up the need for lightprobe cages. We made a temporary solution of our own for this scene, and at the same time elevated the need to our R&D team. The feature is now in development to go properly into Unity.
Lightprobe cages allow for transferring lighting information to large dynamic objects, or in cases where baked lightmaps cannot be used. We use them for a number of objects in our scene: blankets on the bed, rug on the floor, etc.
In the interface we also included the ability to move the lighting, so that it's easy to observe the effects of the realtime global illumination in Unity. It makes for a nice, soft, realistic lighting in the scene, which is a good idea when an interior designer or an archviz artist wants to present their work in the best possible way.
The reflective surfaces around the scene made for a good study of the behavior of our screen-space reflections.
These are the settings we used:
We also use a single realtime reflection probe which updates dynamically as lighting and materials change.
The Bedroom demo was shown at Unite Boston in September this year, and was available to all visitors to interact with and try for themselves.
We are now happy to ship the player publicly. You are welcome to download it for Windows (requires DX11) or OSX (requires OpenGL 4); download size: 337 MB. And here is an alternative download link. You can choose among different quality settings.
Note: We are not releasing the project for copyright reasons, as this demo is built entirely with library assets. Here is the original scene from the Evermotion Store.

Now i have Unity 5.3 and de asset cinematic for make SSRR reflections but i add the script and nothings happens, any tutorial for use this? thanks.
Hi please release the color/material changing script so that we can play around witht at to recreate this effect. Thanks

I'm experiencing a very low fps demo, mabe 3-4 fps. Anything I'm missing?!
MSI Ghost Pro GS60 with 16GB of RAM
NVidia GTX 970M with 3GB of VRAM
Intel Core i7-4720HQ
2×256 SSD (Running the demo from SSD)
Latest drivers (GeForce 359.00 Driver)
A GTX 970M should be able to handle the demo with no problems at all!!!
I'm running UE4 with no problems at all…!

I wonder if it is related to Graphics.Blit()
Have you guys changed anything regarding the method? Or could it be a driver related issue?

Unity s Bedroom demo looks amazing! Enlighten is built into Unity 5, allowing a realistic simulation of indirect lighting to achieve such spectacular effects!
I'm interested to know what sort of image effect is being used for the depth of field, particularly where the camera zooms really close to the wall at 0:53 and the part that is near penetrating the wall gets really blurry. It looks like more than just a standard DOF effect, and seems quite useful for VR applications where you want to discourage interpenetration of the scene.
Oh come on, release the scene with some replacement models, please, when the demo is ready.
I have too many questions that could so quickly be answered by just being able to investigate the demo scene.
For example, I am not sure about the exterior. Is that real or a fake?
Chris "RedHawk"novembro 18, 2015 às 9:05 pm
I hope this comes along with a nice, clear tutorial. I'm having such a hard time with lighting. I like the idea of a light probe cage. Sounds much easier…
Meltdownnovembro 15, 2015 às 10:21 pm
Looks great guys. But I'm very pleased to see UT is rather delaying the release and getting it right, than pushing out something which is not ready yet.
Can the LightProbe Cage sample shadows? It would perfect if dynamic objects could have some sort of a pseudo-shadows in baked lights. I need answer please.
Can it be done if we increase the probes cage resolution enough??
Robert Cummingsnovembro 14, 2015 às 2:18 am
I see the antialiasing is pretty flawed (crawling along wardrobes). I'm wondering what tech is missing in Unity preventing the completion of it? Waiting for another part of Unity to be finished perhaps?
Hi could you release the color/texture changing script as an asset?
I second that, release that color changing script as asset please. thanks
I love reading these articles because they're short but inrmfoative.
Hi, your code's really ufesul for what I'm doing but the next and previous buttons aren't showing after I put the whole code inside a php file and included it in pagination.php along with at the bottom. The loop limit works though. Is it necessary to have the whole code in a single file?Thank you for your time and effort, really appreciate it!

I really wonder why people read unity's blog to mention that X and Y should happen for them to get back to unity from UE4/Cry Engine/… Is anyone begging you?

Probably just people being vocal for the sake of being vocal. Some people probably think they're better because they use UE4… when in reality the tools do not matter, it's how the developer uses them.
D. Schmittnovembro 13, 2015 às 1:47 pm
There are in fact some things that are still missing in Unity that make people (including me) switch forth and back from Unity to UE. When Unity Labs demo came out with horrible AA and gruesome FPS, I thought I was lost. I am happy to see that Unity is taking a big effort to catch up with UE. I think comparing Unity to UE is not an unfair thing.
Works great, that is, until I try to sort. My data is displayed in a table and each colmun header has an a tag that calls for a sort order by that colmun heading. First page sorts, but after that everything reverts to the default sort order. I thought that using the GET method was the culprit, but trials with POST yields the same result. Any ideas? Do you need more info? Thanks.

They require to aapper and really feel masculine, 100%, Three hundred sixty diplomas. They look with regards to Chanel shades through which exhibit their frame of mind ideal. Because of this, a lot of of these can die for your F826M model. For your Mission impossible style, men will definitely lure to test out the particular elegant Chanel FS5119 sun glasses. If you have problems all through staying in the correct style on the subject of sexual category, taking a unisex type can be a safe guess. Probably the most elegant option here is actually your FS 1014 Meters design.
Script looks great and had it installed on my page in about 10 mientus. It displays the correct number of items ( as per limit) on the first page just fine and calculates the proper number of pages to use in pagination menu bar. The pagination menu bar looks great. Problem is… I only get results on the first page. All of the other pages come up with blank results. In my test, there are 7 items to display, have the limit set to 3, pagination menu shows there are 3 pages of results and the pagination button links show the correct link address. But, if I click on button [2] (or other) it delivers blank results I'm reasonably fair with php and have spent a number of hours trying to get it to work right and unfortunately it's just not happening. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. (website address is link to test page.)
It's just a bunch of scattered quads with an opacity texture
Make sure you restrict the rotation of the planes so that the pointy bits are pointing upwards
For the love of God, keep writing these arcielts.
I have try this on an iMAC 3.5 i7 with a GTX775 and 16GB of ram and I have to put it on good quality and 1600 to make this work near 20 fps. On fantastic and native resolution everything gets corrupter and it goes below 1fps. IMO doing graphic things with brute force doesn't have too much value.
Alan Stagnernovembro 12, 2015 às 7:24 pm
On my GTX780, it runs at around 30 on Fantastic. There's probably a lot of room for optimization, not to mention SSR is a really intensive technique in any case…
It looks nice, but the horribly low quality Temporal AA ruins the image quality while not solving temporal aliasing issues what so ever.

Alternative download did it then, though:)

Is this a joke? Even a single person can recreate these assets in like 2-3 days.
So I don't understand why you don't want to release a scene with replacement assets.
We all want to learn.
We don't just want to see what good thing you can do.
Are you going to implement Voxel Cone Tracing Global Illumination technique? I know it does not seem to be ready for production yet. But at least as part of research/experiments?

Is there anyway we could see the GI setup and lightmaps? I understand the scene can't be released, but that information can be useful.
Kevin Taylornovembro 11, 2015 às 11:34 pm
I agree. Just a screen cap of the Lighting panel would be of help. My GI builds never look this clean.
It's more or less straightforward, with resolution generally on the high side:
The only fancier bit was increasing the Irradiance Budget and Quality from a custom set of Lightmap Parameters to get the lighting of the white walls smoother

JamesBnovembro 11, 2015 às 2:20 pm
Thanks for sharing. Are there any 3rd party assets that offer this functionality? In the first Bedroom demo video starting at around 2:10, are the reflections in the framed ship drawing due to SSR?
The Antialias behaves like TAA (Temporal AA) It's just a wild guess and it looks cool :) and way better than the old one. Hope they implement that along with SSRR and improve the Antialias more :)
JDMultinovembro 11, 2015 às 1:39 pm
It's just awesome to see realtime demos, as they really show how it performs, feels and such in realtime instead of a monster machine used for rendering an video.
It's an interesting demo but too bad we can't see the project because of the evermotion models. However I've to mention that the color picking and texture changing GUI is somehow a bit messy. You can select an object to change materials, however when the GUI is up, you can still accidently select another model. This makes it had to change materials sometimes as well that the mouse position doesn't always correspond with the GUI. Sometimes I click a texture but the texture applied is a different one ( one next to it ) It needs a little work to be flawless.
Overall, can't wait to test the SSRR myself. I was using an opensource version from Git.
Does the new SSRR also fade with the reflection probes now as in UE4? Because I noticed in UE4 some real issues with correct reflection with that feature. Far away nice SSRR, but closeup there was weird stuff going on.
Now where is that 5.3 version?! ;)
I've been loonikg for a post like this forever (and a day)
Can the LightProbe Cage sample shadows? It would perfect if dynamic objects could have some sort of a pseudo-shadows in baked lights. I need answer please.
Can it be done if we increase the probes cage resolution enough?

The light probe cage system sounds like it might be useful – I have the same issue with dynamically added objects (or even environments) at runtime not being able to use any of the static lighting effects.
That's a cunning answer to a chnigenllag question

Any news how this behaves in WebGL ? Quality wise the difference currently is very strong (no GI, SM2, etc)…
Alan Stagnernovembro 11, 2015 às 6:34 pm
I imagine it doesn't really work at all in WebGL, and will continue not working until WebGL 2.0 becomes a thing (WebGL 2.0 will advance to using the OpenGL ES 3.0 spec rather than the ES 2.0 spec)

Looks great. Is this supported on Metal as well?
Is $fotoplats being set properly. Echo out $sql and check that the query is crteaed properly. You can cut and paste that into phpMyAdmin or something similar to see a MySQL error you may be getting.I am guessing you need to set $fotoplats by doing something like $fotoplats = $_REQUEST['fotoplats'], but can't tell much from the code you submitted.I hope this helps.
Now seriously: where is the Linux build?
I'm interested with the Lightprobe Cage how it works actually? and when it would be available?
Light Probe Proxy Volume(aka LightProbe Cage) is planed for 5.4. This new component is useful for dynamic objects that cannot use baked light maps(particle systems, skinned meshes) but you can use it for static objects too, as an alternative to baked light maps.
How it works:
By default, a probe-lit Renderer(which doesn't use baked light maps) receives lighting from a single light probe that is interpolated between the surrounding light probes in the scene. Because of this, objects have constant ambient lighting across the surface. It will have a rotational gradient because it is using spherical harmonics, but it will lack a spatial gradient. This will be more noticeable on larger objects or particle systems. The lighting across the object will match the lighting at the anchor point, and if the object straddles a lighting gradient parts of the object will look incorrect.
The Light Probe Proxy Volume will generate a 3D grid of interpolated light probes inside a bounding volume(eg. the BV of the mesh) where the resolution of the grid can be user specified. The spherical harmonics(SH) coefficients of the interpolated light probes are uploaded into 3D textures. The 3D textures containing SH coefficients are then sampled at render time to compute the contribution to the diffuse ambient lighting. This will add a spatial gradient to probe-lit objects.
Perfect Timing ( even though it's still couple months ahead ) that would be very useful :). I hope the Lightprobe volume result are exposed, seems can be used for other stuff ie volumetric lit fog :D

Will SSRR work with curved surfaces ( I don't mean floors, walls, ceilings – for example a vase) ?
Alan Stagnernovembro 11, 2015 às 3:54 am
Screen-space raytracing is, by definition, in screen space, meaning it works on any surface (not just flat surfaces). In fact, it means it works on the entire scene as a whole.

What are you using for AntiAliasing?
imaginaryhumannovembro 10, 2015 às 10:08 pm
Hmm. It looks very nice, the room like quite natural and the lighting is good. But.. rarely did I see examples of reflections. I know you are testing subtleties for the most part…. but I might've expected a much more highly reflective/shiny kind of environment to really show it off?
Alan Stagnernovembro 10, 2015 às 11:18 pm
If you have the demo, switch to the preset with the glossy black floor then view it as edge-on as possible, should show off the reflections (underneath the chair, for example, will show the chair legs – they look a bit funky, but then that's a just limitation of SSR).
Indeed the textures seem to be intentionally rough to show off the reflections at their best – I would like to see a version with smooth materials.
There seem to be some quite bad artifacts with this kind of reflection – just zoom in to the chair area.
Alan Stagnernovembro 12, 2015 às 7:18 pm
Yeah, but I think those artifacts are just SSR being SSR. The chair, in particular, is a pretty bad scenario for SSR techniques in general – tons of missing data (backfaces and occluded areas), so considering that I think it handles it fairly well.

Most online games from Zynga or those in Facebook are scilaloy-oriented so it's quite problematic if you don't have many friends who share your interest in any particular game.Anyway, it is still possible for you to play and these other games all by yourself. The obvious solution is, of course, multiple accounts. Please note that multiple accounts are now against the TOS (terms of service) by both Facebook and Zynga. However, I'm of the opinion that this term or rule may not be strictly enforced. So, you can do so without immediate risks.I advice you to be careful that your other accounts do not share too much of the same personal information as your main account. Make each account fairly distinct. Once you've gotten your accounts, you can play (I heard from someone) all your accounts from the same computer using Firefox and Chrome, but I have not tried doing this myself.
Super…now if I could paint my house so easily.
Alan Stagnernovembro 10, 2015 às 9:26 pm
Oooh, I'd be interested to know more about the light probe cage system… is that going to make light probes a little easier to work with?
On a side note, really nice job with this demo. It looks stunning (although it runs a little slow on my gaming rig… maybe there's room for optimization there)
Can't wait for official SSR support… :D

Really nice!!!

Blade of the Ripper
Blade of the Ripper aka The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh is a 1971 giallo film directed by Sergio Martino and staring the fabulous....Edwige Fenech. :::sigh:::
Ok, now that that's out of the way. :::grin:::
Edwige plays Julia Wardh - the wife of a diplomat. They get along, but are not fab together. Not as well as she gets along with George Hamilton - her lover George Corro. She plays the game of being the good wife and even better lover, going from one man to the other in a kind of dance. When her old lover resurfaces, she's scared of just what he's capable of. As more murders happen around her, she starts to think that one of these men may be madman with the blade. But, which one?
I don't want to say much more about the plot here. It would be rather easy to spoil. Suffice it to say that this is a great offering and well worth a watch. It's shot well, there are some fun set pieces, and there is a lot going on.
This film really turned around for me. I was half paying attention through much of the first act, but as things start to shift, I got a happy little smile on my face. "Ahhhh...I see what you're up to, movie. I see." I loved the shifts through the film and it's definitely a new gialli fave.

The Saentis Knit Low has been developed for a wide range of activities, from easy and fast-paced day hikes to short trail runs. It is equipped with Michelin engineered soles exclusively developed for Mammut. It has been inspired by the MICHELIN JET XCR mountain bike tyre, which is light-weight and features hollow sculptures that improve terrain adaptability, the very sculptures that can be found on the sole to ensure optimal stability and traction.
Thanks to the sock-like design of the shaft , the pleasantly lightweight multi-functional shoe Saentis Knit Low ensures a perfect fit. The 3D Knit Technology seamlessly integrates and combines a wide range of material properties and processing methods in a single material. Furthermore, the shoe features a hybrid shell construction: the mixture of soft inner and stable outer materials gives the shoe the necessary hardness in appropriate places, while at the same time adapting ideally to the foot for a comfortable feeling.

The ladies also crammed a lot of matches into yesterday's rain-free window, managing to complete the entire first round with plenty of interesting results along the way.
On a mixed day for the home nation, one bright spot was the performance of world no. 339 Sophie Letcher, an 18 year-old Australian last seen losing to Alicia Molik in the wildcard play-off. Letcher recovered from a dodgy second set and produced some inspired tennis at the death to clinch the match against veteran Severine Beltrame, 8-6 in the third.
She'll be joined in the second round by compatriot Isabella Holland, 19, who defeated fellow Aussie Monique Adamczak (see what I meant by a mixed day?). Less encouraging were the losses of Ashling Sumner, overmatched against Anastasia Pivovarova; Monika Wejnert, who went down in straight sets to Sesil Karantcheva; and Viktoria Rajicic, who did well to take a set off Russia's Vitalia Diatchenko before succumbing 6-1 in the third.
Elsewhere, several seeds bit the dust. The veteran Duque Marino, seeded eighth, fell to Corinna Dentoni of Italy. I feel like I've been hearing Dentoni's name more and more recently, and she may be one to keep an eye on.
Fifth seed Anastasia Yakimova was surprised by Canada's Stephanie Dubois 6-4 6-2, twenty-first seed Petra Cetkovska lost to Germany's Kathrin Woerle, and France's Olivia Sanchez, the sixth seed, lost to Zarina Diyas of Kazakhstan, a talented player who has struggled for consistency.
The most interesting results of the day, however, came from players I've tipped to do well (as did some of the surprise losses, but we won't dwell on that). Sabine Lisicki knocked out Michaella Kraijcek in a big-serving duel, beating the Dutch 76(2) 63, and Sania Mirza progressed to the second round over Kuryanovich of Belarus. It was also a good day for the British, although Katie O'Brien lost out to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga's ex Mandy Minella in a match that … well, I'll let her tell you.
However, Anne Keothavong beat Darya Kustova in straights and Heather Watson had another smashing win, this time over Kristina Mladenovic of France.
And now for the second round …

About me
Hello and welcome,
Are you looking for a counsellor because you have a specific issue you would like to address? Or do you just have a sense that something isn't quite right, that life isn't quite working out for you in the way that you had hoped?
I offer a safe space for you to come and explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences and to help you make sense of things.
I am experienced in working one to one with young people (18+) and adults and with a wide spectrum of issues including trauma, identity, bereavement, anxiety and depression. I offer both short and long term counselling.
The way I work:
I integrate a traditional talking therapy approach with creative interventions and mindfulness techniques.
If appropriate to your needs, we might work in a solution focussed way, helping you to identify goals, build resources and develop skills; supporting you to become your best self, whatever that means to you.
My work is informed by Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, an approach developed to heal both developmental and single incident trauma and that integrates somatic therapies (working with physical sensations and movement), neuroscience (the functioning of the nervous system), attachment theory (the impact of our early relationships on our development) and cognitive approaches (our belief systems). This is a very safe, collaborative way of working and many clients have found it effective.
At all times we will work together, at your pace and in a way that feels comfortable for you.
I am a member of and abide by BACP ethical guidelines.
Have a look at my website. Send me an email or call me. We can discuss your needs and I can then help you make a decision about next steps...
I look forward to hearing from you,

Sherando Lake Recreation Area's Family Campground provides an ideal camping destination. It is situated in the Blue Ridge Mountains and is known locally as the jewel of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where visitors enjoy hiking, picnicking in the shade, fishing in the lakes, or swimming and relaxing on the sandy beach.
The 25 acre Lower Lake offers opportunities for swimming in a designated area with a sand beach, accessible ramp to the water's edge, and a beach bathhouse with changing and shower facilities. Fishing and boating are also available outside the designated swimming area of the lake. Fishing is in stocked trout waters during the spring and fall seasons. Visitors will need to have the appropriate Virginia fishing license, National Forest stamp, and trout stamp. Boats with gasoline motors are not permitted on the lower lake - electric troll motors, canoes, kayaks, or similar boats only. A hand-carry ramp is available for access to the lake adjacent to the parking area. Fishing only is available at the 7 acre Upper Lake. This lake is also stocked during the spring and fall seasons and the appropriate licenses are required. Boats are allowed, but there is no launch access - hand carry only. Parking is available at a small area below the group camp area and a walking trail will lead you to the lake. Swimming is not allowed in the upper lake. Hiking trails surround the area offering everything from a short walk around the lake on the Lakeside and Cliff Trails to a day hike up the mountain on the White Rock Trail and the Blue Ridge Parkway. For the more adventurous hiker, more challenging day hikes and backpacking trips are available by heading up the Blue Loop Trail to the Torry Ridge Trail to Bald Mountain and beyond.
The campground is divided into three loops: Meadow Loop (Loop C) has campsites with electric hookups which are suitable for larger camping units and RV's; White Oak Loop (Loop A) has non-electric campsites, suitable for tents and camping units less than 28 feet in length; River Bend Loop (Loop B) and the upper part of White Oak have first-come, first-serve sites not available for reservation. Each campsite is equipped with a picnic table, serving table, lantern post, and campfire ring with grill. The designated tent pads are covered with a fine brown sandy gravel. Showers, flush toilets and drinking water hydrants are located in each loop. The water hydrants are not threaded for hose hook-ups. Most campsites are equipped with a food storage locker for securing your food due to bear activity. It is mandatory that all food be either stored in a food storage locker or secured in a locked vehicle. Violators are subject to a fine. You are camping in the mountains with unlevel ground. Please be prepared. A trailer dump station is located along the main road between the entrance station and the road to the lower lake parking. A potable water station with threaded hose is located on the left at the bathroom facility near the Williams Branch picnic area.
Natural Features
The campground sits between Lower Sherando Lake and Upper Sherando Lake at an elevation of about 1,800 feet in the shadows of Torry Ridge. The Upper Lake is 7 acres and is fed by the waters of the North Fork of Back Creek. The Lower Lake is 25 acres and is fed by springs, the North Fork of Back Creek, and Williams Branch, so the water stays refreshingly cool all summer long.
Nearby Attractions
There are opportunities for gas, groceries, and firewood at convenience stores and local vendors along the state road to Sherando Lake. Ice can be purchased at the Sherando Lake Visitor Center during operating hours, which vary seasonally. Additional supplies can be obtained in Stuarts Draft, about a 15 minute drive away. The Blue Ridge Parkway with its scenic overlooks and ridgetop views is a short 3 mile drive up State Route 664 from the Sherando Lake entrance. The Wintergreen Resort offers a golf course and ski area within 10 miles of Sherando Lake. Cabin rentals are available near Sherando Lake from local private vendors.
ADA Access: N
This campground is a little jewel hidden in the Shenandoah Valley. Sites offered have electrical hook-up's in Loops B & C, but there are no water hook-up's. You can fill your RV fresh water tank on the way in, and can dump on the way. Wonderful little lake for swimming, nice beach, nice hiking trails around the lake. They even take reservations (something they didn't do before). This is a US Forest Service Campground located in the George Washington & Thomas Jefferson National Forest District. Sometimes there is a Ranger there at the entry, but mostly it's an honor system for payment (and trust me, the Ranger will eventually come around to check on all new arrivals). US Government Senior Access Card discounts apply here as well.
This campground was a little hard to find with google maps. We were on the Blue Ridge Parkway and ended up back tracking. I would recommend calling ahead for directions from the parkway because it is very close. Nice quiet campground, nice neighbors, nice showers. The lake was good for small kids to swim but the bath houses there were in usable as they were so nastu
I have mixed feelings about this campground. It's fantastic for families with lots to do but if you're looking for solitude, this isn't the place for you. I was camping alone and I found the campground too noisy and busy. My campsite was huge, it would be great for a large family or a gathering site/kitchen area for groups using neighboring sites. Each site has its own food locker which is really important because bears actually frequent the area. A young bear was repeatedly visiting site A9 up the road from me and I had to chase him off when he came near my site!
I have to give this campground 4 stars because 1) it's noisy and busy; and 2) the staff was very nonchalant about the bears.
Lake Sherando campground was clean and easy to access just off of the BRP. The sites were level and everything looked recently upgraded. We didn't get in the water, but we saw the beach and it looked perfect for kids.
Pulled in late on a Friday afternoon and there were only two first-come, first serve campsites left, and the rest of the campground was full. Great tent pads with a picnic table, fire ring and lantern hanger. Camp host warned that there had been a lot of bear activity lately and to make sure to keep food stored inside vehicle. Very nice showers at bath house by the lake.
Very well maintained campsite, hiking trails were in good shape around the area. Lake itself was beautiful with a great beach for kids and families. Only downside was firewood was not available for sale when we stayed at the campsite and we had to gather ours in the dark!
