Forums → Art, Music, and Writing → Animation Contest 2! Theme: Sleeping
[quote=Zophia in the First Animation Contest]Alrighty, this has been brewing in the artistic minds of a few AGers lately - an animation contest!
Similar to the Art Skills Competition we need a few rules in place (largely copy/pasted, so credits to Carlie for parts of this):
1. Must be hand drawn, either on paper or in a program (Pivot is allowed). It can then be manipulated in an graphics program (GIMP is a nice free one with a build in animation filter - google it). Copyrighted images cannot be used. All pieces containing copyrighted images will be disqualified.
2. Submissions must follow the current theme. If you submit more than one piece, please clarify which one you would like to be judged.
3. If your animation is larger than 630 pixels wide, please provide a link to the animation instead of posting it in the forum. Otherwise, the animation will be cut off.
4. Artists cannot win in subsequent weeks. You can still submit, but if you won the week before, you cannot get first place again the next week. Unless only one person submits......let's hope that doesn't happen![/quote]
First Theme will be: Balloon Darts
Just show someone/thing popping a balloon with a dart in any possible way.
I'll judge (unless someone else would like to), and no offense but I don't want a noob judging.
Deadline: November 12th
Good luck kiddos!
Haha forgot to sign out. Any chance a mod could fix it?
I don't like this theme because
a) Good sprites and figures could be more important that the actual animating.
b) It's boooooring
Still, I made a quick animation. Seeing as how the deadline is two weeks from now it's possible that I make something else later, but don't count on it. Balloon popping isn't really something that's fun to make.
Try to ignore the fact that the monkey looks like pure evil, the colors got messed up.
that cool i got a question does the pivot thing yall do cost money to download
can i judge?
Well heres mine. I might do another if I learn to make some decent stiks. Anyone know any programs for that?
Pivot is free
SwfCabin isn't working for me, mind using [url]http://truploader.com[/url]?
Haha I like it.
Let's give this a shot. Please critique considering this is my first animation using pivot. (I actually didn't use pivot, I used 'stykz').
Oh and I am fully aware that this being the first time .gif post, it may not actually appear. Expecting a BBcode fail.
how do you post pivot animation!
i vote halogunners!
Hmmm, my frame rate seems to have reduced quite significantly. Would you like me to submit another?
thanks noobslayer

Another example is the Olympic cauldron, which is located inside the Olympic stadium for the duration of the games and out of public view for all those who don't hold tickets. Had the organizers of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, tried this, it's a good bet the locals would have barged in and dragged the thing outside themselves. As it was, organizers in Vancouver were forced to remove some of the protective fencing around it when people complained that it impeded access, despite the fact that the cauldron was located outside. Why so much complacency in London? What are they afraid of -- the teenagers running "security"?I almost feel obliged to say something nice about the London Olympics, since I've been a misanthropic Debbie Downer about the subject for weeks now. The fireworks at the opening ceremony were spectacular. It was as if God was vomiting pyrotechnics in the general direction of London while random nonsense depicting everything from health care to homosexuality to social media happened below. British cultural content included the Queen being handled by James Bond, the most inept literary fake spy in the history of fake spies. That screw-up can't execute any mission without things blowing up left and right. The Queen would have been safer with Mr. Bean, also featured prominently, as though he personally authored the Magna Carta.If that try-hard mess was at all symbolic of how Britain views itself, then apparently it's the new Alderaan -- Princess Leia's home planet in the Star Wars movies, the destruction of which forced her to forever wander the galaxy.

This is adorable! I love how you portray all of Allen's mood swings and how Lavi is Allen's best bud and psychologist. Lavi sounds like he'd make a great psychologist.
I loved the dream scene you added in there for Kanda, that was amusing, especially when he woke up from it.
That rumor about Allen, him being possessed, is absolutely genius! It's definitely the reason he's lost his mind and started hating on humanity, of course.

As genetically-modified (GM) ingredients become more common in the global food supply, particularly in the U.S., we know that consumers may have questions about this technology.
On safety – our number one priority – we find broad global consensus among food and safety regulatory bodies that approved GM ingredients are safe.
Those who have approved biotech crops to be as safe and acceptable as their conventional counterparts include:
The National Academy of Sciences, the American Medical Association, and the British Royal Society also say there is no health risk associated with GM foods or ingredients.
Global Experts project that to meet the growing needs of an increasingly hungry world we will need at least:
50 percent more food.
45 percent more energy.
30 percent more water.
Biotech seeds have been approved by global food safety agencies and widely used by farmers in food crops for more than 20 years. Because U.S. farmers use GM seed to grow certain crops, 70 percent of foods on U.S. grocery store shelves likely contain GMO ingredients. As a result, if an American food or beverage product lists corn, soy, canola, cottonseed or beet sugar as an ingredient – and it it's not organic - it likely contains GMOs.
Global food safety experts will note there has not been a single incident of harm to health or safety demonstrably linked to the use of GMOs anywhere in the world.
GM crops generally need less insecticide, may allow for the use of less harmful herbicides, and enable sustainable farming practices like no-till farming which can:
Because GM crops can protect against weeds or disease, farmers planting GM crops tend to generate more stable – and sometimes higher yields.
This could be important to global food security.
One in eight people in the world today – or 870 million people worldwide – do not have enough to eat. And by 2040, the world's population is projected to increase by 2 billion to nearly 9 billion people. Global Experts project that to meet the growing needs of an increasingly hungry world we will need at least:
It's a daunting challenge. But biotechnology shows promise to address such issues as strengthening crops against drought and extreme temperature, and delivering more nutritious food, even in poor soil conditions.
We agree with the World Health Organization (WHO) that "the development of GM organisms (GMOs) offers the potential for increased agricultural productivity or improved nutritional value that can contribute directly to enhancing human health and development."
We know that some consumers remain uncomfortable with GMOs and are concerned that GM crops may encourage farming practices that over rely on one herbicide and decrease biodiversity. Others worry about the economic impacts on farmers trying to keep non-GM separated from GM crops. As a global food company, we produce products without GM ingredients in some markets – we also offer organic and non-GMO alternatives in most of our major categories in the U.S.
In the spirit of transparency, we've enrolled several products – especially our organic products – in the U.S. Non-GMO Project.
Because foods containing GM ingredients are safe and deemed essentially identical to their conventional counterparts, there is no requirement for special labeling in the U.S. by the FDA.
However, the State of Vermont began requiring special labeling of genetically engineered ingredients in July 2016. We can't label our products for only one state without significantly driving up costs for our consumers and we simply will not do that, so as a result, consumers all over the U.S. will see words legislated by the state of Vermont on the labels of many of their favorite General Mills products.
Ensuring safe and effective food production, while conserving precious natural resources, is a longstanding commitment for General Mills. We believe biotechnology can help.
For further information about biotechnology, we invite you to visit www.factsaboutgmos.org.
This technology is not new. Biotech seeds have been approved by global food safety agencies and widely used by farmers in food crops for more than 20 years.

The Media Knows Not Of What It Speaks Concerning iTMS DRM Issues
The Media Knows Not Of What It Speaks Concerning iTMS DRM Issues
by , 3:30 PM EST, November 25th, 2003
When Jon Johansen, previously known for writing the DeCSS code for decrypting DVDs for use on unsupported platforms, released an application called 'QTFairUse' meant to remove the DRM (Digital Restrictions Management) from Apple's iTunes Music Store files, the media went nuts over the story. Unfortunately, what they went nuts with were wild stories of everything from a magic DRM bullet to the ability to download free music files from the iTMS. None of this is the case.
In reality, QTFairUse isn't much more than an exploit to what could probably be called a vulnerability in Apple's QuickTime for Windows software, which handles the encoding, decoding, and authorization for iTunes. Johansen's software rips a raw AAC stream from within Quicktime just after it has been authorized, leaving an AAC file on the desktop.
According to some testing done by C|Net, the resulting file is not of much use in its resulting form. All of the header information in the original AAC file is lost, and all that is left is the raw AAC data, which will not play in most media players. From C|Net:
Johansen's program works by patching Apple's QuickTime software with a new software component of his own. Because he called the program a "memory dumper," programmers on message boards around the Web speculated that QTFairUse made a copy of the raw, unprotected song data from the computer's temporary memory after it was unprotected for playback, rather than simply recording the audio stream as it played. But this was not independently verified by Apple or Johansen.
If that is indeed the approach Johansen took, it's possible Apple could release an update to QuickTime that nullifies Johansen's work, much as Microsoft did for the early break of its digital rights management tools.
In several CNET News.com experiments, the unprotected file created by Johansen's program was not playable. Several people on Web message boards reported using a series of other MPEG 4 audio tools to create a usable song from the resulting file, however.
You can read the full article at C|Net's Web site.
The Mac Observer Spin:At the moment, Johansen's application isn't much to worry about. Apple could swoop in at any moment and fix QuickTime, breaking QTFairUse in the process. In the meantime, the application is hardly DropStuff-esque in its functionality, and the resulting file isn't even usable without more work.
It should also be stressed that the iTunes Music Store's DRM has not been cracked by this application. The AAC data is piped out of QuickTime after the file has been unencrypted in the normal matter. As far as we know, Apple's DRM has not yet been broken in the conventional sense.
That said, until Apple fixes this vulnerability in QuickTime for Windows, it's very possible that Johansen's application will be used in other applications that will provide DropStuff-like functionality. Of course, given the relatively low quality of iTMS songs and the difficulty of removing the DRM, cracked iTMS songs are unlikely to become a large market for mass peer to peer sharing. If anything, the program could allow legitimate iTMS users to use their purchased music across multiple platforms.
At least until Apple makes it go away.

Study: Tequila plant could help fight obesity, diabetes
PHOENIX — If you're trying to drop a few pounds, you may want to skip the celery and head straight to the tequila. Or at least the plant it's made from.
A new study said the natural sweeteners in the agave plant, agavins, could suppress appetites and lower blood glucose levels. The agave plant is used to make tequila.
"The researchers got a little bit excited because they said, 'Well, maybe there's something here that we should be using agavins as a sugar substitute,'" said Dr. Fabrizio Mancini, who works with celebrities.
The study showed a drop in the blood glucose levels of lab mice that had consumed agavins.
The naturally-occurring agavins are unable to be digested by the body, which treats them as dietary fiber, the study said.
Researchers said raw agavins are different than the processed agave nectar or syrup being sold at health stores. Agavins are also not in tequila, as they are used to create alcohol during the fermentation process.

I am creating a data warehouse to store user session data. My current star schema looks like this:
- session_id
- user_id
- session_duration
- date_id (ref date_dimension)
- time_if_day_id (ref time_of_day_dimension)
- date_id
- quarter
- month
- date_of_month
- time_of_day_id
- hour_of_day
- minute_of_hour
The session fact will link to the date and time of day dimensions using the start time of a session.
Problem: I would like to create an MDX query that returns the 'active' sessions for each hour of a day. E.g. for one day we may have these sessions:
session id |start time |duration
session 1 |10am |1hr
session 2 |10am |2hr
I would like to retrieve data in this form:
time of day |active session count
10am |2
11am |1
Any ideas? I'm very happy to restructure the schema following advice, I just don't know how I should do so.
Thanks for reading this.

|Statistics (2015)
Krasnodar International Airport (Russian: Международный аэропорт Краснодар), also known as Pashkovsky Airport (Russian: Аэропорт Пашковский), (IATA: KRR, ICAO: URKK) is the main airport serving the southern Russian city of Krasnodar. It is an international airport, and is located 12 km east of the centre of Krasnodar city.
Krasnodar International Airport is the largest airport in southern Russia by capacity and the 9th busiest airport in Russia. In 2015, it handled more than 3.1 million passengers.[1]
The airport is a part of Basel Aero airport managing holding.[2] Until the end of 2012 it was the operating hub of Kuban Airlines.
Krasnodar International Airport has three runways that can accommodate modern aircraft, such as Boeing-737 (excluding Boeing-737-900), Boeing 757 (with limitations), Airbus A319, Airbus A320, Embraer 195, as well as helicopters of all types.
The airport's capacity is 500 passengers per hour for domestic flights and 200 passengers per hour for international flights.
In the terminal building, there are VIP and CIP lounges, as well as shops, cafes, pharmacies. Wi-Fi access is also provided.[3]
In 1932, Krasnodar United Air Group was established. Later that year seven Po-2 Aerial Pest Control Agency aircraft landed near the central office of Pashkovsky state farm. In late 1932, the Agency was reorganized. It was used as a basis for the formation of Pashkovsky air base, which in late 1933 was moved to the aerodrome used by the present-day Krasnodar airport.
In 1934, the air base was reorganized into the 218 Civil Aviation Pashkovsky Special Air Group. The majority of Po-2 aircraft were re-equipped into passenger carriers. Scheduled passenger flights were performed from Krasnodar to Maikop, Sochi, Anapa, etc.
In 1941-1945, during WWII, the aircraft of the Special Air Squadron of Krasnodar Airline transported ammunition and POL to the battle-front and carried out medevac missions.
In 1946, the airport started accommodating Li-2 aircraft; and since 1948, Il-12 aircraft.
In 1960, construction of the first concrete runway was completed. Flights performed by Il-18 aircraft commenced in Krasnodar airport. Construction of a two-story passenger terminal was also completed later. Scheduled passenger and cargo flights to domestic destinations performed using Аn-10, Il-18, and Аn-12 aircraft.
In 1962, scheduled passenger service with Тu-124 aircraft was launched.
In 1964, Krasnodar United Air Group within the structure of the North Caucasian Civil Aviation Authority was formed. Later that year, the Group acquired its own fleet of Аn-24 aircraft.
In 1981, Yak-42 aircraft was put into operation. In 1984, the second concrete runway was put into operation.
In 1993, Krasnodar United Air Group within the structure of the North Caucasian Civil Aviation Authority was restructured into OJSC Kuban Airlines, which comprised an air carrier and an airport.
In 2006, OJSC Kuban Airlines was restructured through the spinoff of two of its entities, namely OJSC Krasnodar International Airport and OJSC Kuban Air Transport Territorial Agency. Krasnodar International Airport commenced operations within the Basic Element company structure. 20 December is the birthday of Krasnodar International Airport.
In 2007, Russian Transportation Ministry included the airport in its list of 12 international hubs on the territory of the Russian Federation.
Today, the airport is of strategic importance to Russia as its southern air gates. It is used by over 30 airlines flying to 62 destinations (including 17 international destinations).
Krasnodar International Airport is currently undergoing revamp that is divided into two parts: construction of a new 60,000 m2 airport building, scheduled to be completed in 2017, and the modernization of the aerodrome infrastructure.
The latter includes runway revamp, construction of a ramp, engineering installations and upgrade of the equipment to provide safe, uninterrupted, and high-quality aircraft handling.
Basel Aero managing the project of the new terminal building has picked up Dutch NACO, one of the world's leading independent airport consultancy and engineering firms, to develop the new airport's master plan. According to NACO, annual passenger traffic of the new terminal will reach 10 million passengers in 2030.
Within the period of design and construction of the new Krasnodar airport, the area of the existing terminal is to be expanded by 8 200 sq m. As a result, the airport's capacity will increase up to 1,700 passengers per hour. In August 2013, reconstruction of the international terminal was commenced. According to the design, the number of check-in counters will increase to 8, immigration control counters to 10, and an additional baggage carousel is to be installed. Besides, a children playground will be constructed within the terminal building.
The Krasnodar airport reconstruction project involves the domestic terminal building. The renovated terminal buildings are to be put into operation in late 2014.[4]

I would like to know if there is a way to select(highlight on clicking) an ImageButton and TextView simultaneously. I have an ImageButton and TextView. I have put them in a RelativeLayout and set the background to a drawable selector xml. But they are not highlighting together. If I press the ImageButton button it highlights alone and if I press the layout it highlights without highlighting the ImageButton. Could you please help me in this aspect?
Thank you.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment
July 20, 2016 12:00 pm CDT
One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

A Slap in the Face: Why Insults Hurt--And Why They Shouldn'tby William B. Irvine
View All Available Formats & Editions
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
Insults are part of the fabric of daily life. But why do we insult each other? Why do insults cause us such pain? Can we do anything to prevent or lessen this pain? Most importantly, how can we overcome our inclination to insult others? In A Slap in the Face, William Irvine undertakes a wide-ranging investigation of insults, their history, the role they play in social relationships, and the science behind them. He examines not just memorable zingers, such as Elizabeth Bowen's description of Aldous Huxley as "The stupid person's idea of a clever person," but subtle insults as well, such as when someone insults us by reporting the insulting things others have said about us: "I never read bad reviews about myself," wrote entertainer Oscar Levant, "because my best friends invariably tell me about them." Irvine also considers the role insults play in our society: they can be used to cement relations, as when a woman playfully teases her husband, or to enforce a social hierarchy, as when a boss publicly berates an employee. He goes on to investigate the many ways society has tried to deal with insults-by adopting codes of politeness, for example, and outlawing hate speech-but concludes that the best way to deal with insults is to immunize ourselves against them: We need to transform ourselves in the manner recommended by Stoic philosophers. We should, more precisely, become insult pacifists, trying hard not to insult others and laughing off their attempts to insult us. A rousing follow-up to A Guide to the Good Life, A Slap in the Face will interest anyone who's ever delivered an insult or felt the sting of one--in other words, everyone.
Editorial Reviews
"Readers looking to add to their stock of insults will find much good material here, but they'll also find an insightful analysis of the way we insult each other, why we do it, how we react, and how we can adjust our notion of insults and modify our reactions to them...Written in a lively, entertaining style..." Booklist
"We may not like to admit it, but the impulse to wound with words has long been a part of human history, Irvine contends in this mélange of philosophy, psychology, and cultural study. Insults may range from barbs meant as flirtatious bait to the famously eloquent gibes of Shakespeare, but Irvine pragmatically argues that regardless of intention or context, we must understand insults in order to deal with them." Publishers Weekly
"After providing readers with a catalog of amusing insults, Irvine analyzes the role they play in everyday life and offers invaluable advice for reducing their sting. His suggestion that you laugh at yourself when you are insulteda form of verbal aikidois nearly foolproof."
Mark Frauenfelder, founding editor of BoingBoing.net and editor-in-chief of the technology magazine Make
"This intriguing book is written in a very engaging style about a topic to which everyone can relate. William Irvine uses leading research in the field to present information in a very accessible manner about the various forms that insults can take, reactions that people have to insults, and ways to more appropriately respond to insults. The points that Irvine makes will 'slap you in the face' as you quickly become aware of the prevalence of insults, your own and others, in your daily life."Robin Kowalski, Professor of Psychology, Clemson University
"Aristotle said we were rational animals, but the Stoics noticed that we were insulting animals. Other animals establish social hierarchies with claws and fangs, we do so with words. William Irvine is a collector and a connoisseur of insults, and well-chosen examples keep this book lively. But he also understands insults; he has important wisdom to impart, backed by his own common sense, some science, and some philosophy, about how to deal with the insults we are likely to get, and inclined to give." John Perry, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy, University of California at Riverside and Henry Waldgrave Stuart Professor of Philosophy Emeritus, Stanford University

The Depth Chart: 2013 NFL Week 3 Power Rankings
Here's a look at my NFL power rankings for Week 3 of the 2013 season.
- Denver Broncos (1)(2-0) — Stay unbeaten with a sound thumping of the Giants on the road.
- Seattle Seahawks (3)(2-0) — Dominated division rival San Fran on Sunday night.
- Houston Texans (4)(2-0) — They stay perfect on the season but their performance has been anything but.
- San Francisco 49ers (2)(1-1) — Didn't look good in road loss to Seahawks.
- New England Patriots (5)(2-0) — May be division champs by default this year. Lack offensive firepower.
- New Orleans Saints (6)(2-0) — Will probably fly under the radar for most of the year.
- Atlanta Falcons (7)(1-1) — Steven Jackson suffered an injury, but they pick up divisional win vs. Rams.
- Chicago Bears (8)(2-0) — Finding ways to pull off fourth-quarter victories.
- Green Bay Packers (9)(1-1) — Thoroughly thrashed the Redskins at home.
- Baltimore Ravens (10)(1-1) — Their wins won't look pretty this year. Barely edged the Browns.
- Cincinnati Bengals (12)(1-1) — Took out their aggression on division rival Pittsburgh.
- Miami Dolphins (19)(2-0) — Edged out the Colts and remain unbeaten.
- Indianapolis Colts (11)(1-1) — Haven't looked like the team many thought they'd be this year.
- Dallas Cowboys (13)(1-1) — Lost a tough road game to a surging Chiefs team.
- Philadelphia Eagles (14)(1-1) — Explosive offense edged out by the Chargers.
- Washington Redskins (15)(0-2) — Started the season with two tough games. Can they rebound?
- Detroit Lions (16)(1-1) — Will remain a middle-of-the-pack team all season.
- Kansas City Chiefs (24)(2-0) — Looking good so far with two straight wins. Are they for real?
- San Diego Chargers (21)(1-1) — Won the battle of offenses against the Eagles.
- New York Giants (18)(0-2) — Eli lost to older brother Peyton and the Giants are now in a hole.
- Minnesota Vikings (17)(0-2) — Ponder improved from Week 1 but he's still the biggest problem on a team full of problems.
- St. Louis Rams (20)(1-1) — They'll be competitive in most games but they still lack playoff talent.
- Buffalo Bills (25)(1-1) — Big victory by the rookie Manuel against a struggling Panthers team.
- Carolina Panthers (22)(0-2) — Ron Rivera's days as Panthers coach are numbered after collapse against Bills.
- Pittsburgh Steelers (23)(0-2) — Completely in rebuilding mode; this team lacks a lot of talent.
- Arizona Cardinals (29)(1-1) — Squeaked by with a victory over the Lions.
- Tennessee Titans (26)(1-1) — Played well, but lost to a better Texans team. Could be on the rise.
- New York Jets (27)(1-1) — An awful team that lost just barely to a sluggish Patriots team.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers (28)(0-2) — Bucs have turmoil at quarterback and that usually means bad season.
- Cleveland Browns (30)(0-2) — Bad News Browns. Can't win without talent to surround Richardson.
- Oakland Raiders (31)(1-1) — Perhaps their only victory of the season against a worse Jaguars squad.
- Jacksonville Jaguars (32)(0-2) — Will they win a game all season? Fans are pining for Tim Tebow.

BOOK Throughout history birds have caught the imagination of composers and inspired their creativity and this selection of works by Mozart, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, and others introduces children to classical music through the discovery of the melodious similarities between notes produced by instruments such as the flute, the organ, and the harpsichord and the birds' songs. In addition to lovely illustrations, the book features a glossary of musical terms, a short biography of each composer, and a brief description of each bird evoked or mentioned in the composition.
MUSIC CD The accompanying CD offers excerpts of 20 different recordings—ranging from The Goldfinch, Hens and Roosters, and The Dance of the Swans to The Cuckoo and the Nightingale, Piano Concerto N, and Dance of the Firebird—performed by world-class luminaries including the London Symphony Orchestra, the Moscow Radio Symphony Orchestra, and the Toronto Chamber Orchestra.

In addition to having a beer at the Philadelphia Zoo, visitors can now track the whereabouts of their favorite aardvark, lynx, or spider monkey. So instead of standing at a trail wondering where all the animals are, the newly released app can help users manage their zoo time according to visitor-logged animal sightings.
The app, Zoo360insider, uses a heat map to trace animals along the zoo's five Zoo360 trails, the Philadelphia Business Journal reports. When a user spots an animal and logs the sighting into the app, a pin drops at the location, and as time goes on, the size and color intensity of the pin will decrease. The larger and more vibrant an animal's pin, the more likely that animal will still be at the pinned location. Read more »
