EDT:Working with a database
Revision as of 17:36, 10 February 2012 by Margolis.us.ibm.com (Talk | contribs)
Much of the code on this page accesses a database table that is defined as follows:
Following the typical pattern
Here is the typical pattern for interacting with a relational database:
- Define a Record, Handler, or external type and include annotations. For a Record type, you might use a Workbench capability to retrieve details from a database management system.
- Declare a variable that is based on the defined type. Your code will copy data between the database and that variable.
- Declare variables to represent the SQL data sources. Each data source is a connection or a result set.
- Configure EGL statements that reference variables that you declared. For each statement, rely on the SQL code that is provided for you or customize that code.
Defining a Record type
/* * The annotations help to define the default SQL code when * a record of this type is used in a given EGL statement: * -- Table refers to the table being accessed. If Table is not supplied, * the name of the Record type is assumed to be the table name. * -- Column refers to the column being accessed. If Column is not supplied, * the name of the field is assumed to be the name of the column. * -- ID indicates that the field and its value are set to equal * in the default SQL INSERT statement (for an EGL add statement) and * in the default SELECT statement (for an EGL get or open statement). */ Record PaymentRec { @Table {name="PAYMENT"} } paymentId int {@ID, @GeneratedValue, @Column { name="PAYMENT_ID" } }; category int { @Column { name="CATEGORY" } } ; description string? { @Column { name="DESCRIPTION" } } ; amount decimal(10,2) { @Column { name="AMOUNT" } } ; fixedPayment boolean { @Column { name="FIXED_PAYMENT" } } ; dueDate date { @Column { name="DUE_DATE" } } ; payeeName string { @Column { name="PAYEE_NAME" } } ; payeeAddress1 string { @Column { name="PAYEE_ADDRESS1" } } ; payeeAddress2 string { @Column { name="PAYEE_ADDRESS2" } } ; End
Getting a row
function getCustomer(someId String in} returns (Customer) ds SQLDataSource?{@resource {}}; // declares a data source that will use binding name "ds" (since a name is not specified) aCust Customer; // declares and empty customer record get aCust from ds using(someId); // gets the record in the table that has a key value of someID and populates the customer record get aCust from ds using(someId) with #sql{ // alternative approach for getting a single record (allows for customizing the SQL) SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER WHERE id = ? }; vals Dictionary; // declares a new dictionary get vals from ds using(someId) with #sql{ // alternative approach for getting a single record (does not require a Record definition) SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER WHERE id = ? }; // creates a key/value pair in the dictionary for each column in the result set return (aCust); end
Getting multiple rows with one EGL statement
function getCustomer(} returns (Customer[]) ds SQLDataSource?{@resource {}}; // declares a data source that will use binding name "ds" (since a name is not specified) custs Customer[]; // declares a new dynamic array of customer records get custs from ds; // populates the array with a Customer record for each row in the result set get custs from ds with #sql { select * from customer where state = 'CO' }; // populates the array, but with a limited set of Customer records state String = "CO"; get custs from ds using(state) with #sql { select * from customer where state = ? }; // parameterized version of the previous example end
Adding a row
function addCustomer{customer Customer in} ds SQLDataSource?{@resource {}}; add customer to ds; end
Looping through an SQL result set
function loopCust() ds SQLDataSource?{@resource{uri = "binding:myDB" }}; // declares a new data source rs SQLResultSet?; // declares a new result set open rs from ds with #sql{ // opens a result set using the specified SQL query SELECT * FROM CUSTOMER }; myCust Customer; //Loop through results and write out customer name while(rs.getNext()) get myCust from rs; Syslib.writeStdOut ("Customer name: " + myCust.name); end end

A gunman who blasted a police officer originally from Lancashire on his doorstep then laughed as he cycled away from the scene has been convicted of attempted murder.
James Leslie, 38, shot Pc Suzanne Hudson through his front door as she and colleague Pc Richard Whiteley made routine inquiries about a neighbour dispute in Leeds last December.
As she lay seriously injured on the floor, with Pc Whiteley desperately radioing for back-up, Leslie goaded the pair, saying: "Do you want some more, you pussies?"
Leslie, of Cardigan Road, Headingley, was convicted following a trial at Leeds Crown Court.
Pc Hudson, 5ft 2ins tall and originally from Nelson, Lancashire, needed emergency surgery on arteries in her neck after the shooting. Her right hand was shredded by the shotgun pellets.
Richard Wright QC, prosecuting, said: "It is simply a matter of luck that the defendant did not kill Pc Hudson."
Pc Whiteley grabbed his badly injured colleague and dragged her away from the flat and onto the main road.
Moments later, Leslie appeared on his bike from some bushes, still carrying the gun and only 10ft away.
Pc Whiteley told the jury: "He said: 'Do you want some more, you pussies?'
"He brought it (the gun) up to make it quite clear he had it.
"I thought he was going to use it again on us.
"I thought I was going to die. My life flashed in front of my eyes.
"I thought Suzie was as well. I thought, he has used it once, he is going to use it again."
Initially Pc Hudson, who was on only her sixth frontline shift, had not realised she had been shot.
She told the court: "It was only when Pc Whiteley was on the police radio telling the control room what happened that he used words like 'Shots fired, officer down' at which point I obviously heard that and thought I must have been shot.
"That was the first point I had some sort of understanding of what had happened."
She looked at her palm and saw how badly she had been hurt.
"My fingers were splayed, my middle finger was at a 90-degree angle and there were pools of blood through my hand," she said.
She also found she was struggling to breathe, and realised her neck or throat had also been damaged.
"I felt like I was fading out," she said. "I couldn't move properly."
"I don't believe I lost any consciousness but I was very disorientated.
"It happened so quickly.
She was taken to Leeds General Infirmary where 80 pellets were removed from her hand. Her cartoid artery and jugular vein had to be repaired by a surgeon.
Colleagues launched a manhunt for Leslie, a schizophrenic, and he was arrested later at a Subway sandwich shop.
Pc Hudson showed the extent of her injuries to the jury, demonstrating how her hand had been left disfigured and removing her tie and loosening the collar of her uniform to show where she was hit in the neck below her right ear.
Leslie had admitted possessing a prohibited weapon and causing criminal damage.
But he denied attempting to murder Pc Hudson and an alternative charge of causing her grievous bodily harm with intent. He also denied possessing a shotgun with intent to endanger life but was convicted of that offence as well as attempted murder.
Giving evidence, Leslie repeatedly denied he had any reason to shoot the officer and said he did not mean to discharge the weapon.
He said: "I'm not a nut job who's just going to shoot down police for no reason".
He said he had not taken his medication that day and did not know it was police at the door, and that he brandished the weapon without meaning to discharge it to scare off whoever had knocked at his door.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
I have been wanting to make this costume forever!!!!!!! And I finally did!
Dress is made using satin, stretch satin, satin tafetta, and Peau de Soie. I really liked the idea Pikmin Link and several other cosplayers had about making the sleeves out of stretch material for a closer fit. I also made a corset of satin tafetta, gold flossing, and 26 steel bones to obtain a cinched waist and get a better shape for the costume. The bodice looks a little wrinkly, but that's because it is non-stretchy and very form fitting.
The petticoat is blue organza ruffles with a white cotton overlay. I made the crown and necklace out of Wonderflex and craft foam. I already owned the shoes and the wig and just touched up on the styling. A big thank you goes to Allen Ryde for the idea of underarm gussets - it definitely helped my arm mobility!

UC and the Midwest EB5 Regional Center, with a project office at 2612 Vine St. (Short Vine), entered into a partnership Friday, Feb. 24, 2012, through the signing of a memorandum of understanding to establish the UC Technology Commercialization Accelerator.
Midwest EB5 has committed $500,000 toward the accelerator's creation and the university has committed $250,000 toward the project. University funds will come from returns from the Southern Ohio Creates Companies pre-seed fund.
The Midwest EB5 Regional Center is the area's home to a federal program (EB5) aimed at creating jobs and stimulating activity through foreign investment, in turn, offering investors the opportunity to become permanent residents.
Dorothy Air, PhD, UC associate vice president for entrepreneurial affairs and technology commercialization, says the accelerator will serve as a strategic vehicle for transitioning basic research outcomes into commercial opportunities capable of attracting external resources and investments.
"Our primary goal is to get technologies out of the university that have been funded through public resources and transition them into technologies that can benefit society," says Air.
The typical path toward the development of technologies starts with the formation of an idea, but that idea is often far away from being commercialized into a product. The accelerator will focus on identifying market opportunities, developing a commercialization strategy and facilitating the work needed to prove the concept.
The accelerator will take full advantage of existing community resources and connect each project with relevant resources needed to advance the commercial potential of the technology. This strategy will expand the capabilities of the accelerator and increase the chances for success of each project.
The accelerator's leaders will identify promising UC technologies through a competitive application process, assessing their potential for startups and licensing opportunities. Gap funding or pre-seed awards will be provided by the accelerator to the most promising ideas so that investigators can conduct the work needed to attract outside funding for their next stage of development and, ultimately, market entry.
Air expects to hire four part-time employees—two entrepreneurs-in-residence and two data analysts—who will offer support to UC faculty selected for the accelerator.
Terry Chan, who leads the Midwest EB5 Regional Center and is in involved in efforts to revitalize Short Vine, says adding UC to the list of tenants setting up shop on Short Vine adds to a concept of clustering innovation and creating ways for companies to pool resources, have success and recycle funds back into the Short Vine district.
This "cluster" concept has already attracted several tech companies and a restaurant incubator—a partnership with Cincinnati chef Jean-Robert de Cavel.
"We think about the Short Vine Innovation District as the intersection of great ideas and great people," says Chan. "Anything that adds to the entrepreneurial ecosystem is a welcome addition to the project, with UC serving as an anchor given its tremendous presence in the Uptown."
Air, who holds a position with CincyTech USA as a loaned executive from UC and has worked to create a productive partnership between the university and that venture development organization, says partnering with the Midwest EB5 shows UC's commitment to finding creative ways to commercialize technologies for the benefit of the public.
"Universities across the country face limited resources and must forge partnerships with organizations committed to similar goals," she says. "We've seen the benefit of this strategy with our partnership with CincyTech and believe a partnership with EB5 will be equally productive."
For more information, contact Air directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.
UC is classified as a "very high" research university by the Carnegie Commission and is among the top 25 public research universities for federal research expenditures according to National Science Foundation rankings. In 2011, UC and its affiliates brought in more than $418 million in research funding. Industry partnerships are an important component of UC's research mission and in 2011, UC attracted $18.9 million from industry collaborators—a 24 percent increase from 2010.

The first thing patients might notice about chiropractor Jesse Ross' new North Charleston office is that it's a little small and a little sparse.
There's no examination bed, no scale or stethoscope. Inside the one-room operation, there's just a desk, a table, some chairs and a few pieces of expensive equipment.
This is Beam, the "cutting-edge wellness center" Ross launched in January.
Here in North Charleston, the primary treatment Ross offers is a combination of "advanced biofeedback and low-level light therapy," using technology made by a company that already has received one warning from the federal government. Medical experts go further, calling the therapy a sham, duping desperate patients out of thousands of dollars.
But several patients interviewed by The Post and Courier said they happily parted with their money because the therapy works.
There are 1,499 active chiropractors licensed in the state, according to the S.C. Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation. Of those, at least six in South Carolina and as many as 1,000 nationwide are using light-therapy equipment similar to what Ross uses at Beam, according to a spokeswoman for BioVeda, the Boca Raton, Fla., company that manufactures the machines.
Although chiropractors are typically sought for back-pain relief, Ross and others like him are branching out. They represent a new breed — part-scientist, part-salesman — selling the idea that their high-tech therapy is the next wave of holistic medicine.
Ross recently hosted an hourlong marketing event at a restaurant in Mount Pleasant to explain to potential customers how the therapy works.
"We'll bring our patients in, we'll hook them up to a cuff that is able to send these microcurrents — this electricity. When we do that, we're able to measure how the body responds to that on a cellular level," Ross said.
In a typical Beam session, Ross scans a patient for adverse reactions to thousands of potential immune- system triggers through that cuff. In a demonstration for The Post and Courier, Ross used the cuff to determine that bone marrow and deer hair were among a list of things potentially bothering his business partner, Ryan Layne.
The deer hair made sense, because Layne said he recently visited a petting zoo. The bone marrow was a mystery.
The full list of perceived threats to Layne's immune system popped up on a laptop screen, hooked up to the cuff on his arm.
In a real therapy session, Ross would then reprogram Layne's immune system to respond positively to those triggers by passing a light over his spine, skull and ears with an instrument that looks like a laser pointer embedded into a remote control.
Sometimes the laser is red, sometimes green. It also makes a beeping noise that Ross said doesn't serve any purpose except to say the machine is working. The whole process takes only a few minutes.
In a real session, Layne also would need to pay up.
After a free initial consultation, a package of multiple Beam therapy sessions ranges from $1,500 to $3,000. Individual therapy sessions are not available to purchase. Health insurance does not cover the treatment costs, but Layne said the business offers no-interest financing.
Layne, who previously completed several actual therapy sessions with Ross, said he no longer is lactose intolerant. Other patients boast even more dramatic results.
Nancy Bush, who attended the marketing event, said she sleeps better and is more clear-headed since multiple sessions with Ross in January. Abbie O'Toole, who admitted she was initially skeptical about the treatment, said she reduced the amount of bipolar medication she takes after completing six months of weekly sessions last year. "Everything he said made sense. He just explained it so I could understand it," O'Toole said. "It's so much better for your body not to have to put all that (medicine) in it. I hope I don't have to rely on medication for my whole life. That was a big goal for me."
O'Toole said Ross is a family friend and charged her $2,000, a discounted rate, for her sessions.
Customers are willing to pay the price because many of them are desperate for relief, Ross said.
"Typically, I'd say 99 percent of the time, as a chiropractor or someone in bioenergetics, like I am, people are going to come up with something. It has to be bad enough because they're not saying, 'You know, I feel great, but I have some extra time and money. What can you do for me?' " Ross said.
This is part of the problem with the type of therapy Ross offers, said Dr. Jack Eades, past president of the Southeastern Allergy, Asthma and Immunology Society.
"It's easy to sell an idea to a patient because the patient wants to get better," said Eades, based in Savannah. "People are generally gullible, unfortunately."
Severe allergies cannot be treated with this technology, he said.
"Chiropractors try to morph into areas they're not trained in," said Eades, who does not know Ross and is not familiar with his practice. "Unfortunately, the larger context is ... when times are bad economically, you tend to have a lot more harlequins and charlatans come out of the woodwork. Medicine is not immune from that. It happens in all walks of life."
Eades is hardly the first medical doctor to criticize Ross' livelihood. Tensions have long existed between the two professions. In the 1960s the American Medical Association referred to chiropractors as "an unscientific cult" and established a "Committee on Quackery" to identify what it deemed unscientific practices.
In 1987, a group of chiropractors won a lawsuit in U.S. District Court against the association and several other medical groups for intentionally trying to destroy and defame the profession.
Dr. John Overholt, an allergist based in Franklin, Tenn., is specifically critical of BioVeda, the company that manufactures the equipment that Ross uses at Beam.
"They are purposefully nebulous about what the machine does," Overholt said. "There is absolutely no valid medical science behind this whatsoever. ... It's completely bogus."
The federal government is wary of exaggerated claims too. In 2010, the Food and Drug Administration, which regulates medical devices used in the U.S., sent BioVeda a warning letter ordering it to discontinue marketing one of its machines as a device to treat conditions including eczema, allergies, indigestion and more, because the device was never approved for those uses.
Though Ross uses BioVeda equipment, he is careful on Beam's website to disclose that "Beam is not a medical clinic or facility. Beam does not diagnose or treat symptoms, conditions, illness or disease."
Bruce Gwinnup, a local chiropractor and owner of Holistic Care of Charleston, invested in BioVeda technology this month for his own practice. Each machine can cost up to $20,000, he said.
For years, Gwinnup has offered his patients a manual method to scan for immune=system threats.
In his examination room, Gwinnup stores hundreds of small vials filled with distilled water and alcohol. Each vial is labeled with the substance it is intended to represent, like sugar, fungus, dairy and acne. Gwinnup said each one has been charged with that substance's unique electronic frequency. He is able to gauge a patient's reaction to that substance by testing his or her muscle strength while holding the vial.
For example, if a patient suffers an adverse or allergic reaction to mold, Gwinnup said the muscle strength in her extended left arm will falter when he applies pressure to it if she holds the clear vial labeled "mold" in her right hand.
"If we had eyes of a dog and could see infrared and ultraviolet, these vials would be pulsating with their particular energy colors, if you will," Gwinnup said. "So what happens, when you get in proximity to the item that is in question — we'll call it a cigarette, for example — you hold it, even though it's through the glass vial, your body ... picks it up, transfers the energy through and it activates the inflammatory system. It says, 'Uh oh. We're getting close to trouble.' "
Using chiropractic and acupuncture techniques, Gwinnup said he can fix the body's response.
"I check you against all the things you could potentially be reactive to and then we take the time afterwards to reverse your signal. We turn off the allergy response."
Janet Howe of Hanahan said Gwinnup's method helped her avoid a third miscarriage.
"After the first treatment, I felt like a different person," said Howe, who sought treatment in 2000. "I had two miscarriages. I thought maybe I'm just not meant to have a baby. Then I got pregnant." Her sons are now 10 and 12 years old.
Gwinnup and Ross each provided contact information for several patients who said their treatments are working. Beam's website offers testimonials from six patients who have benefited from the therapy. Gwinnup collects testimonials from his patients and displays them in a binder in his waiting room.
Jeffrey Borckardt, director of the Division of Biobehavorial Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina, is skeptical of the testimonials.
"It's seems sketchy. ... You get a lot of testimonials, and you'll often see those used in sales, but you don't see those used in science," Borckardt said.
Borckardt doubts that these treatments are effective beyond achieving a placebo response from patients.
"They are grasping at straws at that point, and here's someone who says, 'I have exactly what you need,' " he said.
"They say, 'Oh, wow! That's fancy.' A lot of people get blinded by that and don't bother to say show me the evidence. Show me the controlled clinical trials. Show me the reports," he said.
"Much more work and scientific evidence is needed before this new therapy will be recognized as a viable treatment option by the scientific and medical community at large."
Debby Orr, director of training for BioVeda, said there are no medical trials that have tested the company's equipment.
"That costs hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars," Orr said. "People usually hear about it from word of mouth."
Gwinnup said his patients are interested in hearing about results — the "sizzle," he calls it — not lengthy scientific citations.
"I don't want to know how the cow got slaughtered and put onto the grill. Just tell me how good it's going to be," he said.
For Ross, the results also speak for themselves.
"When so many things can go right, it's really fun," he said. "There's no guarantee, but we always have happy patients."

Amanda Wachob in the NY Times
This morning, the NY Times Magazine online profiled the work of the wonderful Amanda Wachob, fine artist and tattooer at Daredevil Tattoo.
Amanda briefly discusses how she began playing with abstract expressionism influences in her tattooing:
I was looking at a lot of Hans Hofmann, thinking about the squares and rectangular shapes in his paintings. I wondered if these shapes were dictated by his rectangular canvas? And if he were going to make an abstract painting that wasn't on a rectangle, but perhaps on an organic form like an arm, what would the shapes look like? That's when I had the idea to try it with a tattoo.In blurring the lines between fine art and body art, Amanda continuously pushes the boundaries of what a tattoo can be. For further info on her process, you may also want to read an old Q&A with Amanda we posted back in October 2009 in which she talks about her more experimental work.

There have been quite a few strange pre-order bonuses over the years, but few come off as odd as Capcom's latest marketing ploy. Those of you who choose to pre-order Capcom's Resident Evil 5 at your local Game Crazy will receive a sand globe of Chris and Sheva. It goes without saying that this is a weird choice for a pre-order bonus, considering the holiday-esque nature of the item.
Tip givers have been promoting this item to Kotaku over the course of the day via a Managers Memo from Game Crazy. According to the memo, this pre-order bonus will be officially announced come Tuesday.
We've included a picture of the globe below.

It looks like Kevin Wallin, the breaking bad priest known in the press as "Monsignor Meth," is going to prison.
Wallin, who was on suspension from the priesthood at the time of his arrest, pled guilty to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. He is scheduled to be sentenced June 25 and is expected to receive a sentence of between 11 and 14 years in prison. Since this is a federal crime, he may serve most of his sentence behind bars.
Wallin, who is 61, will probably be an elderly man if he ever goes free again.
In addition to taking up drug trafficking, Wallin had also opened an adult video and sex toy shop named Oz & Dorothy's Place. He is accused of using the shop to launder the drug money.
From the Associated Press:
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A suspended Roman Catholic priest accused of making more than $300,000 in methamphetamine sales out of his Connecticut apartment while running an adult video and sex toy shop pleaded guilty Tuesday to a federal drug charge.
Kevin Wallin, 61, of Waterbury, admitted to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine and was scheduled to be sentenced June 25. The prosecution and defense agreed on a sentence of 11 to 14 years in prison.
Prosecutors said the 61-year-old Wallin had meth mailed to him from co-conspirators in California and sold the drugs out of his Waterbury apartment last year. He also bought an adult video and sex toy shop in North Haven named Land of Oz & Dorothy's Place, apparently to launder the drug money, authorities said.
Wearing a beige prison jumpsuit and sporting a goatee and close-cropped hair, Wallin acknowledged in court that the drug operation involved nearly four pounds of methamphetamine. He said "yes" several times as the judge asked whether he understood the consequences of his plea.
Wallin, former pastor at St. Augustine Parish in Bridgeport, appeared to have no supporters in the courtroom. He was led out of the room in handcuffs and remains detained. (Read the rest here.)

Head Bobs Using 3 Key Poses
Ed Love usually uses 3 rather than 2 poses for his head bobs. One in the middle, another tilted down and one tilted up and back.
He uses the same basic principle as in the last post. He hits the different poses on accents in the dialogue. The goal is the same in limited animation as in full animation - to use poses to help accentuate the meaning in the dialogue track. Sometimes Ed uses more than 3 key poses. You can use as many as you have time and money for. In limited animation the idea is to use a few poses and animate in and out of them while varying the timings between the poses.The first thing an animator should do - whether he is doing limited or full animation - is to listen very carefully to the dialogue track. Close your eyes and hear the accents and timing. Then customize your drawings and timing to match what the actor gave you.
Don't rely on some abstract formula for timing. Use what the actor gave you - then be creative on top of it.
In the clip, Fred says:
"Awwww It's My job."
In this sentence, Ed doesn't use any inbetweens. He just pops to different keys on each word, while animating the mouths to the dialogue. This gives the accents in the dialogue some punch.
(This file is large, so it'll take a couple minutes for it to load - sorry.Technical problems)
One way Ed makes his head bobs look smoother and "fuller" than some of the other animators, is by squashing and stretching the different head poses.
When tilting the head up, he stretches the front of the face up, and squashes the back of the head and neck down.
He does the opposite for the tilting the head down pose.
Changing the shape of Fred's head logically makes it not look like a cut out of one head position rotating up and down (like most Flash and TV animation today.)
Here is a longer sentence. Ed uses the same key poses, but also an inbetween this time going in and out of the poses.
He varies how long it takes to get to each pose according to how the dialogue sounds. If he used the same amount of inbetweens each time, or held the keys the same amount each time it would get monotonous really quick.
In all he probably only has 5 total head drawings in there, 3 keys 2 inbetweens. Sometimes he uses more.
Like I said, you can use as many keys as you want or can afford. The more poses you use, the more full it will be. The main thing is to make them fit the sound of the dialogue. Follow the natural accents. Draw what your ear tells you to, not what the animation formula does.
Here are a couple more Ed Love scenes:
Next post, I'll show you my variations of Ed's technique.

Awesome lesson. Thank you John.

Hey John,
This is a really good post, thank you!
One of the things that gets people a little tripped up in flash vs [let's just call it...] cel is the concept that the head is an actual symbol that can be physically moved. so instead of drawing that squash/tilt and animator would be more prone to physically rotate the head symbol [i get caught in this too, bad habits] and it looks less natural. the design often lends itself to this too.
I'm a firm believer that with the right character design you could do an early 50's HB style cartoon in flash just like the examples you posted without too much trouble.
Fred and Yogi built for this sort of thing. Looking at Yogi, his collar and tie separate his head from his body so the body can remain still, then on the head turns the tie moves to add that much more depth. but it's just a simple overlay and a couple drawings.
Fred and even Ranger Smith have similar functional designs. i love how the Flintstones deal with walking, with the feet under the loincloth. simple as these cartoons seem a lot of thought was taken not just to make the design appealing but how it would work.
lots of the characters i'm handed to deal with on flash cartoons aren't easy to rotate in space, their elements aren't built thinking about the animation, they're there to look flashy or whatever. the head is thought of as the definitive character head and is generally not to be redrawn. when i get something that allows a bit more leeway i run with it, but I'd really like to shift gears to design and plan a project like these HB cartoons from the get go.
Even between the 2 posts here the Love examples are so much stronger. You can see through his animation that he thought of the head tilt as emphasis and not just "keeping the character alive" so much, and it comes out a lot stronger than the previous example and adds to the expression of the character.
[sorry long comment!]
- Chris_Garrison said...
That second Fred clip is a bad link. But it works If you take that period out of the beginning.
I love this lesson on limited animation! I'm excited to see the next post.
Some people really need this. I've been hired by folks in the past who were so thankful for somebody who could limit the number of drawings and work clean, to crank the stuff out. At the time, they were going crazy, because they were surrounded by Disney animators who only knew how to take a few weeks doing a zillion drawings, which all needed to be redrawn, in-betweened, and cleaned up. Everybody should be able to split up the levels and go Yogi, when the situation calls for it. Or when they just want to.
- JohnK said...
I fixed the link. Thanks Chris!
- Frank Macchia said...
great analysis of this stuff john.
i like the emphasis on "squash and stretch keeps it alive"...a lot of flash cartoons DO use the head bob...but its just the same symbol tilting around...without the squash and stretch it looks so robotic.
- Wes Riojas said...
I really can't wait to learn how you've adapted this technique John.
I bought season one of the Flinstones several months back for study.
Your post on the head bob is a great catalyst for studying good limited animation. John, I would like to know the top 5 things animators should be studying when watching early HB. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
Thanks again.
- Caleb said...
These lessons are great. Limited animation doesn't mean they have to talk like sock puppets. Most 3d movies have those sort of stiff but hyper movements that seem to always have the same amount of inbetweens and pose time(not to mention the boring but hyper camera movement). Cartoon directors should understand that there is a level of creativity in the timing that no other medium has. Thanks John.
- PCUnfunny said...
This is like a quarter of Ed Love's talent compared to his work for Tex Avery during the forties but still, he put alot into so little. I think limited animation like this once again proves that animation is not alot of drawings, it's humanity. A majority the fully animated Disney movies in the 90's can't compare to this Love scene, that stuff is just stock movement.
- Cartoon Crank said...
Why are you glorifying crappy animation? Why study the cartoons that single-handedly ruined animation in this country?
- Pete Emslie said...
What's crazy is that it only takes a small amount of time and effort to draw these few head positions from scratch, with squash and stretch to keep it organic. This is why I personally hate Flash TV animation, with the static "symbols". And when they do try to add squash and stretch, it's done by just distorting the damn thing either vertically or horizontally. Don't animators get to DRAW anymore?!! Sheesh!
- introvert said...
Another great thought-provoking post.
It shows that quality isn't always about how much work is put into something. It's all about how much thought is put towards the end result.
Putting more work into it just means there is that much more opportunity to put extra thought into the final result, but the work in of itself isn't what produces the quality. It's how and what the work is used to express, that's where the enjoyment comes from. It's the thought that counts.
I could go on forever about how computers fit into all of this, but I'm confident this next sentence will sum it up. Computers are stupid. Just understand this simple truth, and you have a much better chance of giving a computer the kind of work it's best suited at (giving you the time to do the work that requires actual thought).
- pappy d said...
Do you mean to imply that you prefer this stuff to sock puppets?
- Daryl T said...
I have a question. I'm making a studnet film and I have about 20 weeks to produce a 2 minute film from pre to post production. I'm basically doing it myself and I want to do it in traditional 2D. Is it possible and if so how.
- Caleb said...
Yes. I'm also implying that sock puppets are better than a lot of modern cartoons with no visual acting. There has been a trend of minimal animation for awhile, which makes HB stuff look amazing. I guess it depends on whose hand is in the sock.
- Grant said...
This is such a intresting and detailed post. The amount of little details in these cartoons is incredible, and when it moves it comes alive. This is why I like classic animation so much! I
It's magic!
- rodineisilveira said...
Johnny K.,
There are four Yogi Bear episodes avaliable on YouTube (http://youtube.com), which bring the Ed Love's animation. They're the following:
- Spy Guy (http://youtube.com/watch?v=deL5MzkjS1Q)
- Nowhere Bear (http://youtube.com/watch?v=obVBKCF5gXY)
- Yogi in the City (http://youtube.com/watch?v=j-i2BkagAzU)
- Ice Box Raider (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Jpjbkl489yb0)
In all of them you can feel the Ed Love's brilliant animation style, which you admires very much.
Well, that's it!
So long!

So there you are with your spiffy new Macbook Air, and you want to move your copy of Mac Office 2011 from your old machine. But you can't find the activation key. Oops. Too bad. But that's the price we pay to stop Microsoft and other software companies from losing $59 billion a year to piracy.
Or maybe your son got a nasty letter from a lawyer because he's been downloading too much music and videos from that Russian pirate site. That's tough on the kid, but hey, don't you know that the piracy of intellectual property could cost the world economy some $48 billion and 19 million jobs in America alone?
[ Follow the latest developments in business technology news and get a digest of the key stories each day in the InfoWorld Daily newsletter. ]
Excuse me?
Mark Twain said it very well: "There are liars, damned liars, and statisticians." But that was in the 19th century. If the great writer were alive today and watched the debate over SOPA and PIPA -- acronyms for the Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect Intellectual Property Act that sound like the names of twins in a Japanese animé feature -- he might say, "There are liars, damned liars, and the antipiracy police."
Nearly every tech writer I read regularly opposed SOPA and PIPA for good reason. But most of them (and me too) were always careful to add an obligatory sentence or two deploring the loss of jobs and money to piracy of music, video, and software. Fair enough, but how many of us took the time to think critically about the numbers behind the antipiracy campaign? Almost none. Think about the numbers that were routinely tossed around during the debate:
- "Rogue websites that steal America's innovative and creative products attract more than 53 billion visits a year and threaten more than 19 million American jobs," Mark Elliot, an a U.S. Chamber of Commerce apparatchik, wrote in a letter to the New York Times. The letter had absolutely no substantiating information, but even someone as smart as David Carr, a media columnist for the Times, regurgitated that preposterously inflated statement.
- "The software industry is being robbed blind," said Business Software Alliance CEO Robert Holleyman. "Nearly $59 billion worth of products were stolen last year (2010) -- and the rates of theft are completely out of control in the world's fastest-growing markets," it reported in a study. The BSA, which is led by Microsoft, was a leading advocate for SOPA and PIPA. By way of comparison, Microsoft's revenue for that year was $62 billion. (Microsoft, by the way, spent $7.34 million on lobbying efforts last year, according to United States Senate Office of Public Records.)
- Than there's this estimate that popped up repeatedly during the debate: Piracy costs the U.S. economy between $200 and $250 billion per year, and is responsible for the loss of 750,000 American jobs.
Think about that, says the Cato Institute's Julian Sanchez. A $250 billion per year loss would be almost $800 for every man, woman, and child in America. And 750,000 jobs -- that's twice the number of those employed in the entire motion picture industry in 2010.
Even as I sit writing this post, an email from Microsoft (I had called asking for a comment) hit my inbox: "A study by Wallace Walrod, chief economic advisor to the Orange County Business Council, found that California workers lost $1.1 billion in lost wages due to software piracy in 2011" and that "California lost $1.66 billion in economic activity, almost 20,000 jobs, and $697.6 million in state and local tax revenue in 2011."
We don't need to raise the sales tax or rebuild our infrastructure to fix the struggling California economy; all we have to do is reduce software piracy by 10 percentage points in two years to add $5.7 billion in new economic activity and $880 million in additional tax revenue for California, Walrod claims.
Millions, billions, maybe trillions. Who knows? Who cares? Industry representatives and their captive analysts crank these things out, feed them to their pals in Congress and a credulous media, and kaboom! We have a crisis; we'd better pass some tough new laws.
The good news, of course, is that nearly all of those numbers are wrong -- as the Cato Institute's Sanchez argued in a blog post recently. It's worth reading, but I'll quote a bit to make the point: "The 750,000 jobs number had originated in a 1986 speech (yes, 1986) by the secretary of Commerce estimating that counterfeiting could cost the United States 'anywhere from 130,000 to 750,000 jobs.' Nobody in the Commerce Department was able to identify where those figures had come from." In 2010 the federal General Accounting Office took a look at those numbers and said they "cannot be substantiated or traced back to an underlying data source or methodology."
One reason (along with pure fantasy) that estimates get so huge, argues Sanchez, is that these so-called studies may start with a real number, but then use our old friend the economic multiplier to figure out losses due to piracy's ripple through the economy. But as the GAO pointed out, "Most of the experts we interviewed were reluctant to use economic multipliers to calculate losses from counterfeiting because this methodology was developed to look at a one-time change in output and employment."
When so-called experts throw around a bit of calculus and some jargon about multipliers, many of us simply stop processing and forget to use our critical faculties. Those bogus numbers are used to justify terrible legislation like SOPA and intrusive verification procedures by Microsoft, Adobe Systems, and other software companies.
I often write about complex research for Stanford University's Graduate School of Business, and I'm certainly no math whiz. So there's one question I always ask: "How do you know?" Real experts are never offended by that question. You should ask it too.

Symptoms: Diarrhea Fever
Report Type: Food Poisoning
My husband and I had a dinner guest on Friday evening, and I bought minced Beef at Dowlings Butchers at their unit in Bloomfields Shopping Center, Dun Laoghaire. Before buying I repeated twice that I was going to make Steak tartare and I asked the butcher's recommendation about the meat. I underlined that it will be eaten raw therefore I needed the best possible meat. That was the main course of the meal, the rest was Salad and a frozen dessert. The dinner was prepared within 2 hours from buying the ground meat, and during this time it was stored in the fridge. I'd also like to add that I love Steak tartare and I prepare it frequently, and no one ever had any problems because of it. The following day (Saturday), between 4pm and 6pm all three of us who had eaten from the Steak tartar started to have similar symptoms of strong diarrhea, fever and intestinal pain, which symptoms still last well into Sunday evening when I'm writing this.

We also had mini vanilla Xmas cupcakes for dessert. Within 2 hours I felt nauseous, chills, aches and then vomited four times and had diarrhea twice. This lasted for two hours. Then in the morning my wife who ate the same as me vomited (approximately 6.5 hours after consuming). Not entirely sure what the culprit was but will be avoiding the deli from sobeys in the future. The Turkey was brand new and was opened in front of me but ham was already opened when I got there. The meat was shaved using a meat cutter...but we got there fairly late in the day so the blade may not have been cleaned and could have had been cross contaminated. Vegas were washed before eating.

The Sweet Sound of Renovation: A Concert Hall Loft
Adaptive reuse is one of the best forms of creative and eco-friendly construction. Whether it's a former school house or church, buildings with a past life often make for some of the most interesting homes and interiors. This social hall in New York City is no exception — the 32-foot barrel arched ceilings, porthole windows, stage lighting and old wood floors make a for a one-of-a-kind residence.
Dating back from the 1860s, this hall has served many functions. The building was originally used to host dances, social events and conventions. Later, towards the end of the 20th Century, it was heavily renovated and converted gallery space, a lecture hall, library, restaurant and bar, as well as living and studio spaces for artists.
This space is a full-floor 6,785 square-foot loft with 11 rooms, 4 bedrooms, a solarium and terrace. The loft has many industrial design elements including reclaimed wood floors, marble, brick archways, and a wood-burning fireplace. The residence was purchased in 2004 for $4 million, and is now back on the market for a steep $25 million.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The York College women's lacrosse team notched a 10-4 non-conference win over Catholic University on Wednesday afternoon in Washington, D.C.
The Spartans improve to 8-3 overall with the win while the Cardinals fall to 5-4 with the loss.
The Green and White jumped out to a 3-0 lead midway through the opening half of play. York got two goals from Kerri Nicolich (Islip, N.Y./Islip) to open the scoring. Nicolich scored her eighth and ninth goals of the year to stake the Spartans to the 2-0 lead. Freshman Gina Bieneman (Baltimore, Md./Institute of Notre Dame) finished off a free position chance with 16:20 left in the half to give York the three-goal lead.
The Cardinals responded with back to back goals within a minute ten of each other, cutting York's lead to 3-2. The Spartans answered with two goals before the half as Nicolich struck again for a goal at the 11:17 mark followed by a Marissa Gochar (Mount Airy, Md./Glenelg) tally with 3:15 remaining in the half.
York pushed the lead to 8-2 with three goals in the first 11 minutes of the second half. Melissa Ritchey (Hampstead, Md./North Carroll) found the back of the cage 7:11 into the second half. Megan Stine (Stevensonville, Md./Annapolis Area Christian) scored off a Ritchey pass with 21:21 remaining in the game. Kim Nicolich (Islip, N.Y./Islip) capped the run with her second goal of the year with 19:53 showing on the clock.
The Cardinals halted the Spartans' five-goal spurt but Ritchey pushed the York lead back to six with her second goal of the game just over seven minutes after the Catholic goal.
After the Cardinals scored their fourth goal of the game, Gochar closed out the scoring with an unassisted tally with 8:45 left in the game.
Nicolich led the Spartans with a three goals on just three shots. Ritchey was also very good for York as she had four points on two goals and two assists. Ritchey recorded two ground balls and was 1-for-1 on her free position opportunities. Stine also notched four points for York with a goal and three assists in the win. Freshman Macey Yates (Davidsonville, Md./Annapolis Area Christian) collected team-high five ground balls for York while she also forced two Cardinal turnovers.
The Cardinals had four different goal scorers in the loss. Madeline Wilson was their lone multi-point scorer as she had a goal and an assist. Lindsay Brophy led Catholic with four draw controls, two ground balls and an assist.
York finished the game with a 32-20 margin in total shots while they also had a 29-24 advantage in ground balls. The game was very sloppy as York had 21 miscues while the Cardinals committed 26 turnovers. Catholic won 11 of the game's 16 draws.
Ashley Smith (Cinnaminson, N.J./Cinnaminson) earned the win for the Spartans as she recorded eight saves in her 60 minutes of action. Yasmeen Ajdari suffered the loss for the Cardinals despite making 15 saves for CUA.
The Spartans return to action on Saturday when they host Mary Washington in a Capital Athletic Conference contest. First draw is set for 12:00 pm.

Bathroom Window Treatments & Bathroom Blinds
- Moisture resistant window treatments
- Provide an adequate level of privacy
- Consider room darkening options
- Shutters are a natural fit
- Top picks are faux wood blinds, cellular shades & roller shades

Blue Coupe returns to the Clayton Opera House
A special night of Gold and Platinum hits
Last updated 9/1/2017 at 4:43am
July 22nd, Blue Coupe will return to the Clayton Opera House for a special night of Gold and Platinum hits
When Legends Collide
The three iconic rock stars in Blue Coupe are the angry orphans of Blue Öyster Cult and the Alice Cooper group, and they're out to prove something to the world with show-stopping performances and a wall shaking sound that keeps their legion of fans calling for more.
Blue Coupe's multi-talented entertainers include Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Dennis Dunaway bassist of the legendary Alice Cooper group, along side multi-instrumentalist, Joe Bouchard who founded Blue Öyster Cult with his brother Albert Bouchard master of the drums. These revolutionary originals were the heartbeat of several of the best known songs in the history of rock. And note for note, their full-throttle expertise hits you over the head and grabs you by the heart in Blue Coupe.
With the original Alice Cooper group, Dennis co-wrote smash hits including "I'm 18," "School's Out," and "Under My Wheels" while Albert and Joe were co-writers and arrangers of many of Blue Öyster Cult's biggest hits including "Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll," "Hot Rails to Hell," and "Astronomy" (covered by Metallica). Joe, Albert and Dennis have sold over 15 million albums and have been awarded over 30 gold and platinum records worldwide.
In 1973 Blue Öyster Cult opened shows for the Alice Cooper group on a record-breaking tour of outdoor festivals and sold-out arenas that made the cover of Forbes magazine for the highest grossing tour of the year. As Alice Cooper became world famous with hits like "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and "Elected", Blue Öyster Cult continued with their own sold-out tours with hits like "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" and "Burnin' For You." BÖC also pioneered their own groundbreaking stage show with rock's most elaborate lazer light show with pryotechnical explosions and a ginormous Godzilla.
But Blue Coupe found continuing glory with their highly acclaimed album, Tornado On The Tracks, which has multiple Grammy considerations in 2011 and 2012, including "Angel's Well" featuring Robby Krieger legendary guitarist for The Doors. And Blue Coupe continue to tour North America and Europe with such illustrious shows as the Halloween Parade in New York City where they were seen by more than a million people.
Blue Coupe's second album, Million Miles More, features Alice Cooper, Tish and Snooky from Manic Panic, Ross the Boss from Manowar and the Dictators, Buck Dharma from Blue Öyster Cult and Goldy McJohn from Steppenwolf as special guest stars. The album was mixed by Jack Douglas (Aerosmith, John Lennon, Cheap Trick, Alice Cooper, BOC) and Warren Huart (Aerosmith, The Fray, James Blunt). The new single "Hallow's Grave" with vocals by Alice Cooper has been submitted for Grammy consideration.

England's "Barmy Army" of cricket fans pride themselves on enduring any hardship to follow their team, but snow in the stands is one problem they do not normally face on a tour of India.
Set in the foothills of the Himalayas, Dharamshala will host its first international match when India play England on January 27 in a 50-over match that a diehard band of travelling supporters are expected to attend.
With a backdrop of soaring mountains and a culture based around Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, the fixture will be a unique experience for the most seasoned supporter or player -- as long as they pack enough jerseys.
England have their first practice game of the India tour on Tuesday in Mumbai before four Test matches and two Twenty20 games, followed by a break at home for Christmas and then back for five one-day internationals.
The game in Dharamshala was originally scheduled as a day-night fixture, but has been changed to start at 9:00am to avoid a bone-chilling evening under floodlights.
"I am slightly worried about the snow," admitted retired colonel H.S. Manhas, the ground's general manager, who reports that temperatures can plunge to two degrees Celsius (35.6 Fahrenheit) at night in late January.
England expect chilly reception in Dharamshala
England's "Barmy Army" of cricket fans pride themselves on enduring any hardship to follow their team, but snow in the stands is one problem they do not normally face on a tour of India.
"But I think everyone will have a good time. We have excellent facilities for players, and also for all fans from local young people to corporate clients who can hire boxes and eat fine food."
The venue, properly known as the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, has already earned a solid reputation after hosting Kings XI Punjab in sell-out Indian Premier League (IPL) games for the past three seasons.
Located 1,162 metres (3,800 feet) above sea level, the pitch is lower than several South African international grounds, but it was covered in snow well into January this year and groundsmen are praying for a mild winter.
"It will be cold for the Indians, but OK for the England team," Anurag Thakur, the 37-year-old member of parliament and a driving force behind the $10-million ground, told AFP.
"I think we will have blue skies and sunny weather," he said confidently. "We have been waiting for this moment since we started building the ground in 2002, and we can promise a warm welcome for our visitors."
Interest in the Dalai Lama and Buddhist teachings have attracted foreigners to Dharamshala for decades, and its budget backpacker hostels and guesthouses are expected to be booked out by England fans.
In the tiny town, they will be able to see saffron-robed monks visiting temples to chant, meditate and spin prayer wheels in ancient rituals that beguile many tourists and pilgrims.
The Dalai Lama, a globally revered figure whose devotees believe he is a living god, has attended two IPL games but will not be at the England match as he is travelling in the south of India.
"He doesn't claim to understand the rules of cricket at all," his spokesman Tenzin Taklha told AFP. "He did say after watching for an hour or so that he enjoyed seeing so many people in the crowd having a good time."
The Nobel Peace Prize winner, who fled China in 1959, heads a community of about 10,000 exiles in Dharamshala, where they campaign against authoritarian Chinese rule over the Tibet region.
Yoga lessons, alternative therapy and holistic medicine are all on offer, but if England fans do find a sense of inner peace, they might discover they are less in harmony with the weather conditions.
Instead of the usual heat and dust of India, the playing conditions are likely to be closer to a county game in Yorkshire in April.
"The wicket here tends to have more grass than normal in India, and it offers good, even bounce for fast bowlers," said Thakur. "It is a fair battle between bat and ball."
Explaining the ground's stunning setting, he added: "I wanted to build something different -- somewhere that people would want to come and experience for themselves.
"I was told it was impossible to do, but now we have our first international match, and against England too."
Ticket sales have not yet been finalised, but prices are expected to start at about 1,000 rupees ($19).
England fans who make the 12-hour drive -- or a short, unreliable flight -- from New Delhi, will not regret the effort, says one British member of parliament who played there earlier this year.
"It is an extraordinary ground and probably one of the most beautiful locations of any cricket pitch in the world," said Matthew Hancock, who captained the touring side of parliamentarians.
"We lost our game, but I hope that England can secure a better result."
For Thakur, the England fixture is just the start of his ambitions.
"What I really want is to host a five-day international Test match," he said. "That is the ultimate game for cricketers, and to see it here in such surroundings is my dream."

Computer glitch delays JetBlue flights
September 13, 2013
NEW YORK (AP) — Dozens of JetBlue Airways flights were delayed Friday morning after a computer failure limited the airline's ability to dispatch planes.
The system was restored by 10:30 a.m. but the airline warned that delays would persist throughout the day. As of 11 a.m., there were 40 delayed flights, according to JetBlue.
At New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport — JetBlue's largest base of operations — about a third of all the airline's flights were listed as "delayed" on the flight monitors. The typical delay was about 90 minutes.
The airline blamed "IT network connectivity issues" but did not elaborate.
Computers are used to calculate weight, fuel and other key information needed before a plane can leave the gate.

So, anyone up to analyze the OP? supposedly, it gives hints to the end of the story. What comes to my head when I search for that in the opening are this passage of the lyrics:
"the clamorous city making noise
I tried to keep an ear out for all this
In a world that's about to end", mixed with the twins falling on the screen and literally disintegrating (pay attention to when they are almost at
the bottom of the screen). So we could guess that something REALLY bad will happen/happened to them (don't know if death), and it probably will be exposed to the general public and maybe cause a massive shitstorm.
Just after that, Ringo's hand is seen dropping the diary to follow the twins (in the series, the twins are following the diary, maybe this implies a
reversal of circumstances?); after that, Himari takes the spotlight, and then , when the "world is about to end" phrase is finishing,
someone (I'm guessing it's also Ringo) drops the infamous apple that symbolizes a shitton of things (the universe, fate, a reward for the ones
who chose love, human's knowledge, the original sin, temptation, whatever floats your boat).
We also see the Pingroup logo transforming into the KIGA logo while below the twins, and also the KIGA logo transforming into Penguin
Force logo right before the Princess of the Crystal appears. What is this suggesting? the three factions are the same shit with different
disguises?, or at least, they're fundamentally connected in some way, the three of them, and that is probably related directly to the Takakura
After that, we see the "Ringo burn" scene that implies the death/despair(whatever, I'm not sure in this) of Ringo, while the lyrics say "I'm past
the point of no return, far over my limit". Pretty easy to relate that to Ringo's situation over her family and her delusions.
Masako's passage has the pattern in the background blacked out, except for the "loop" symbol that shines red. So this idea of "loop" seems to
be the most important to her, among with the memory-loss spheres that also appear prominently. "Even your absolute control has crumbled"...
she is always saying things about crushing someone/something, but I can't really relate this to anything until now. Probably foreshadowing
that things will go bad for her and her "mysterious girl that is dominating the events" image will crumble down.
I'm totally lost at Tabuki's+Yuri's+Sanetoshi's passage, ""The End of the World is just a hypothesis" is what I'm crying out from the other
side of the binary world line".
The quote marks (if they're intended in the japanese karaoke-less OP) imply that someone textually said that/is going to say that, probably
Tabuki or Yuri. And just when Sanetoshi appears, we get the concept of "binary world line" along with the enormous loop image that is
dividing into two "half loops", or in other words, if we consider the loop symbol as the world line (as in, "the world is cyclic"), this cycle would
be split into two equal parts, we get a binary world line.
The part that interests me the most in this opening is the last scene, just after the supposed sarin containers. The twins are trying to hold hands,
stay together, but they're separated by an unknown force (KIGA logo is in the background). Just after that, one of them (or maybe a totally
different guy) falls on the middle of the screen with his face blacked out , So I'm guessing the question of his identity is going to be an
important thing in the series, as he seems directly related, and also a triggering point for the 95 event. This could mean a lot of things, from
the boy representing a mix of the two twins that are key to the Saring Gas Attacks to the twins literally converting/being origined by one
simple entity, thus enhancing the hypotesis that they're not complete.
Now this is what gets me. Just after the 95 appears, all the KIGA logos surrounding it become Penguin Force logos, suggesting one of two
1- KIGA was responsible for the attack and then later, they transformed into Penguin Force, that had different ideals that sprouted from that
attack's consequences.
2- Penguin Force is responsible for the attack, and is also trying to take over KIGA.
The final shots are the three penguins, an apple being picked up and the twins "looking after" Himari in her sleep.
I don't know, I said everything that I could think of the OP in this wall of text, someone mind helping to solve my confussion?

Their personalities are very different. Kanba is definitely the dominating one. But if Shouma starts to speak up for himself then I can see the brothers being at odds in the future (although I hope they won't stay that way at the end of the show).
It hasn't even happened and I am nervous.
I don't understand the Pingroup/Kiga/Penguin Force thing at all. But I wouldn't be surprised if opposing factions; were actually one in the same.

I'd like to think that Ringo's "burning out" bit in the OP actually representing her resolve to go through with Project M being completely destroyed by a "sudden" event (her developing feelings for Shoma) after being at full throttle and seemingly at the point of no return (which it pretty much was, she was going to rape Tabuki).
As for the scene at the end of the opening where the brothers hands part and this shadow boy with features from both Kanba and Shoma falls, I think that represents the brothers' "sin" being revealed and its connection to 16 years ago.

Linear scheme is like a double train track where you can move on one side (first arrow) and back on the other (second arrow)
eg: she live an event, she forget it, she recover her lost memory
the first way she uses it to advance his life experience (first arrow) the other way is the memory that can be used to reverse (second arrow)
maybe this is also related to "binary world"
a totally different guy maybe Tabuki, who at age 16, wearing the same uniform. His face blacked out can mean his passage to the Dark side. Second interpretation: his face is blacked out in the same way as Kanbas face when the Princess initiate the survival strategy (chapter 1)
the concept of "binary world" seems to apply more to him, half alive and half dead as Schrödinger's cat, or perhaps free or caged bird
everything else are bundled in sets of three: past, present, future=KIGA, Pingroup, Penguin Force= the dead, the living, the unborn= water, land, sky =Momoka?, Mario?, the Princess?
Mario holds the position corresponding to "present" because he doesn't need the "imaginary space" to manifest himself, and because Himari saw him at the aquarium (Chapter 10) before she get her own hat. Moreover, the princess claims i have come the destination of your fate and listen, you lowlifes who will never amount to anything, which implies knowing the future.

I really, definitely, don't want that to happen but seeing Kanba at this stage it's starting to get scary and more real. Now I'm convinced that he is willing to commit any sin and taboo just for the sake of saving Himari, including hurting others in some ways that are not as mild as what he ever did to Ringo. I start comparing him to his father who must have a good reason for carrying out the attack. Then he will be the Mary who needs to be punished by the Goddess.
And in the end, it will be Shoma who stands against him, trying to stop him....
God no, I seriously hope I'm wrong....

Exploring the hypothesis of the "clones"
the speech of "Destiny" refers to a series of three
There are those born wealthy
Those born of beautiful Mothers
And those born into war or poverty
Additionally: three Kenzans in the picture of Antarctic exploration
Triple Kenzan clones, each of them has a child genetically identical before and after a daughter genetically identical too: triple boys, and triple H. The order of Kenzans is not necessarily the one shown in the figure
Spoiler for figure:
If Himari is "born wealthy" explains why she is a princess while her older brothers are nobody
Put them to live together as a family would be a kind of "genetic experiment"
seems that the scheme is structurally functional and does not contradict anything we know
it means anything?

Hofesh Shechter's brand new evening, featuring the world class dancers of his internationally celebrated company, brings together the barbarians trilogy in the UK for the first time. For this evening Shechter presents a sparse world for three wildly different takes on intimacy, passion and the banality of love.
Revealing his choreography at its most elegant and intimate, the highly acclaimed and perturbing the barbarians in love opens the evening. Trembling with emotion residing within order, an ecclesiastic baroque score accompanies a truly contemporary confession. What follows, as two more new works unfold, is a volatile explosion of dubstep grooves for an almost urban choreography and a quirky duet which together complete an evening showcasing the singular and wry voice of their creator and the versatility and talent of his individual dancers.
Find out more about the venue for your show: Directions, Transport options and facilities.
(5mins) Take Upper St towards the City Road crossroads. Continue straight and turn right into Rosebery Avenue, where the theatre is 100m down on the right.

Statement from Congressman Chris Collins regarding Friday's vote in the House of Representatives regarding "Superstorm" Sandy relief:
"Today, the House of Representatives took action on the first of two aid packages to help people devastated by 'Superstorm' Sandy in October. I am pleased that one of my first acts as a member of Congress was to co-sponsor and vote in favor of this bill, which will provide nearly $10 billion to FEMA so it can cover flood insurance claims.
"It is important that Congress come together to do its part and provide the necessary aid to help the millions of people impacted by this natural disaster. Too many families have had their entire lives turned upside down. It is only right that the federal government help those impacted on the East Coast recover and begin to rebuild not only their homes, but their lives."
Collins made this statement following his official swearing-in:
"Today, as I took the official oath of office, I thought of the faith and trust the hardworking residents of New York's 27th Congressional District have placed in me. I am humbled by the opportunity to be their representative and their voice in the United States House of Representatives.
"As a new member of Congress, I look forward to serving on both the agriculture and small business committees. These committee assignments are a natural fit for both my experience as a small business owner and the incredibly important role agriculture plays in NY-27. In addition to fighting every day for what is best for the families of NY-27, I pledge to be a strong advocate and champion for farmers and small business owners, and their employees, not only in our own community, but all across this country.
"I begin my time in Congress at a very critical moment in our country. It is my hope that the new Congress can come together to seriously address the issues facing our nation. I look forward to being a part of the discussion and, most importantly, a part of the solutions that are necessary to curb our nation's unsustainable spending and reduce our crushing national debt. Members of Congress must start making decisions based not on political expediency, but on commonsense fiscal policy focused on ensuring prosperity of our children, grandchildren and future generations."
