text: Network sharing with first responders in control18 May 2015 12:25 PM Dedicated 4G communication networks for emergency services are expensive, while using 'best effort' commercial bearers is risky but there is a way to share networks without compromising mission-critical services, argues Declan Ganley, CEO of Rivada NetworksThe scene is familiar from TV and movies: The hero flicks on his special-issue smartphone and instantly conjures up building schematics or a live video feed of the bad guys. Using this real-time information, he tracks his fellow team members, shimmies through the ventilation system using a map on his phone, and pops up in just the right place at just the right time to apprehend the suspects.These capabilities exist on our personal smartphones today – parents use tracking apps to find their children and mapping applications to find their way, along with many other once-exotic abilities we now take for granted.In law enforcement and other emergency services, though, these high-tech phone features remain mostly science fiction. First responders' standard-issue wireless communications devices are for the most part indistinguishable from the walkie-talkies of decades ago.Mission-critical voice communication is indispensable to modern first responders but it's only a tiny fraction of what modern communications networks are capable of.Imagine a public-safety broadband network that could transmit vital signs from a moving ambulance to waiting A&E staff after a trauma. Or personal protection equipment for firefighters that could send position, temperature and air-quality information back to an incident commander in real time, along with a video feed of what each firefighter is seeing inside a burning building.These capabilities could save lives every day but one major obstacle to their widespread adoption and use is cost.Spreading costsWhen a wireless carrier builds out a 4G network, it is hoping to spread the cost of that build across tens of millions of subscribers. Even so, in the UK, most of the carriers have banded together into alliances to share their 4G infrastructure while continuing to compete for customers on packages and service.A dedicated wireless broadband network for first responders might have hundreds of thousands of users across the UK and not all of them would ever be using it at once. Yet to be fully effective, that network would have to cover even more territory than the commercial operators do. What's more, it would need a level of resilience that is sadly lacking in most commercial networks – with effective failover power and resistance to extreme weather.Taken together, this is a daunting bill for any government to fill. This is why the government has concluded that the only way to make a 4G emergency services network affordable is through a partnership with one or more wireless carriers.For the carriers, this is a great deal – the government subsidises their 4G rollout and they get credit for helping out the blue-light services into the bargain. It's less clear whether this is a good deal for the emergency services themselves, or for taxpayers.Relying on commercial 4G networks for mission-critical emergency communications could seriously compromise public safety. As noted, those networks are generally not hardened to the degree that emergency services would and should expect and, often, commercial networks end up swamped with traffic at precisely the moments and locations that first responders need them most.This will leave the commercial network operators in the impossible position of choosing between their commercial customers and emergency services. What's more, the carriers currently lack the ability to pre-empt commercial traffic within milliseconds on their networks, even if they believed it was in their interest to do so. Yet the government seems determined to overlook these shortcomings as it seeks a modern emergency services network on the cheap.Network sharingThe way forward is network sharing but with emergency services in the driver's seat. When the blue-light services need capacity on the network in a particular location, pre-emption must be ruthless – within milliseconds – and invisible to those first responders.As long as that condition can be met, then the rest of the time – which is most of the time – the emergency services can and should make its spare capacity available for sale to commercial users.The revenue thus generated ought to be sufficient to pay for a truly world-class 4G wireless broadband network. This, in turn, will enable the deployment of the types of life-saving next-generation technologies that our first responders deserve and the public have a right to demand.Rivada Networks' patented Dynamic Spectrum Arbitrage technology can be incorporated into new and existing 4G LTE wireless networks. Its Dynamic Spectrum Controllers monitor network usage at each base station, providing continuous intelligence about the capacity available for sale and about the emergency services' needs.Combined with Rivada's Tiered Priority Access, DSA ensures that first responders have the ruthless pre-emption they need, while maximising the value of the capacity that goes unused by emergency services.This unused capacity can be sold in an electronic marketplace, in which wireless bandwidth is divided up into units of space, time and capacity. Thus it would be possible, for example, to bid on capacity in Trafalgar Square between 8am and 9am in the morning on weekdays, or Leicester Square from midnight to 1am on a Friday.This marketplace, or Telecommunications Commodity Exchange, will serve as the clearing house for all available capacity. Bidders can aggregate grid squares to meet their needs, or bid on discrete blocks for particular uses.New modelsThis market, while similar in some ways to existing commodities markets for energy, is a radical departure in the wireless world. Ever since mobile phones were briefcase-size (and barely deserving of the 'mobile' moniker), governments have doled out wireless spectrum in long-term monopolies over particular frequencies.That model served to get wireless up and running (and has served the shareholders of the wireless operators even better) but, as with the days of public-safety walkie-talkies, that model has run its course.Technology available today allows us to do better – to make better use of radio spectrum, to allocate it more efficiently and competitively and to allow the general public to retain more of the value of this precious natural resource.The network operators naturally enjoy their current position as the gatekeepers to our wireless world. They are only likely to adapt if they are forced to.This gives public-safety communications an opportunity to show the way forward. By incorporating dynamic bandwidth sharing into a next-generation mission-critical communications network, we can help pay for that network. The government would not be forced to choose between world-class wireless emergency communications and making that spectrum available to the wider economy, as some seem to suppose.Network sharing is the key to making that future affordable but it should be on the emergency services' terms, on a network controlled by first responders. As citizens, we – and those who keep us safe – deserve no less.James Atkinson EditorLinkedIn |Google + |Email Leave a CommentPlease write code to prove you're humanThis article appeared in...

Aussie indie-pop crew Jinja Safari are busy prepping for the release of their self-titled debut record, which is due for release next month.
'Plagiarist' is the first single to fall from it, and we have to say its a little bit underwhelming given its generic easy-going pop formula:
This week however the LP's second single, 'Oh Benzo!' leaves us feeling much more positive about the album's prospects. It's much more along the lines of what we'd like to expect from the Jinja Safari crew. Let us know what you think:
The band do plan to hit the road throughout May in support of their album release. The dates are below and the ticketing info can be found here.
Tour dates:
Wednesday, May 15 – The Toff, Melbourne
Thursday, May 16 – The Toff, Melbourne
Friday, May 17 – Jive Bar, Adelaide
Friday, May 24 – The Zoo, Brisbane
Saturday, May 25 – Amplifier, Perth
Thursday, May 30 – Oxford Arts Factory, Sydney
The self-titled debut record from Jinja Safari hits the stores on May 17. Pre-order your copy now.

The president is well-spoken, well-educated; studied law at Harvard; came to office with a big majority, who had high hopes he'd turn things around. But support has slipped, and complaints have been grown about how he hasn't done enough to help the economy in general, and ordinary people in particular.
President Obama, you can relax. This story isn't about you. It's about Taiwan's incumbent President Ma Ying-jeou. He's up for re-election on Saturday, and the race is too close to call.
Ma defended his record this week.
"I have actually accomplished a lot in the last four years" — for instance, calmed down tensions with China, opened up direct flights, shipping and postal services, signed new trade agreements, created jobs, lowered inflation, boosted economic growth and worked to clean up corruption. So Ma's asking for another term.
"In the first four years, I worked to reorient Taiwan back on the right track," he said. "I think I have largely accomplished what I set out to do."
It seems many Taiwanese think differently. The challenger, Tsai Ing-wen of the Democratic Progressive Party or DPP, has almost as much support as Ma, the incumbent.
Tsai's spokeswoman, Hsiao Bi-Khim, said it's about the economy.
"We have been critical of the way that benefits have not been adequately distributed in our society over the past few years," Hsiao said. "For example, we have experienced a GDP growth rate. However, we believe that the wealth created, the growth created, is concentrated only among a few select businesses or interest groups."
"We have to give them a little room. For me, I think even four years is not enough," said Alice Chen.
Chen's talking about both Ma Ying-jeou and Barack Obama. Chen lives in Seattle and has dual Taiwanese and US citizenship, so she'll be voting in two presidential elections this year.
"Obama's first term, I didn't vote for him. I voted for more experienced, McCain," Chen said. "But since Obama's point is take care of everyone, everyone should have health insurance, he tried. Then I realized, I have to support him, because I like his policy."
Same with Ma Ying-jeou, she said. Her brother, Keenan Chang, who lives in Taiwan, strongly agrees.
"After Ma Ying-jeou took power, we don't worry about a war with China.
We don't want war, we want peace," Chang said.
He added that Taiwan's last president, Chen Shui-bian, from the DPP, played an unnecessary and dangerous game of brinksmanship with China, which hurt Taiwan's economy. He worries about what another DPP president might do.
But many DPP supporters worry that President Ma may give Mainland China too much, and erode Taiwan's autonomy in the process.
Still, on the way to a rally for President Ma, I bump into a DPP supporter.
"Before, I never attend the KMT rally," said the man, referring to Ma's party. "So I want to see how many people, and what are the elements."
After that, he said, he planned to move on to see his preferred candidate — Tsai Ing-wen. The man told me that he hoped for a woman president.
"I think woman is better," he said. He also thinks President Ma is too beholden to elites and special interests, even if he does give Ma credit for working out a more constructive relationship with China.
At the rally, a packed crowd gives Ma credit for that and more.
"I have confidence in Ma. He's been doing very well over the last four years, and he's got a big horizon," said Karen Zuo, another Taiwanese-American who's returned to vote.
Zuo's father was in Chiang Kai-shek's army, and went with him to Taiwan in 1949.
For most of the time since, China's insistence that Taiwan is a province that must reunite with the Motherland has kept Taiwan on edge.
The past four years have been different — the demand hasn't gone away, but it's been muted. So, in this election, voters can afford to think more about domestic issues, and about Taiwan's future as Taiwan.
Whoever wins tomorrow, that's no small accomplishment.

Ahh, Leo and Karai... One of the more interesting takes I've seen on this pairing for sure! They're not my favorite pairing either but this was really well done. Don't you just wanna throttle Leo though? Why does he do this to himself? I think my favorite part was how he said there would be no one after her, just blood and honor.

Hey, for a romance it was stunningly great! I don't particulary read romance, but I liked this one very much. It was short and blunt, with just the right amount of angst.
Good job!

We cannot allow irregularities such as Vagrant AIs to enter the system!
- "Canard, it's a Guild to help newbies."
- — Kuhn —
Canard (カナード) is a newbie-friendly group, dedicated to aiding newcomers to The World R:2. The guild was founded by Kuhn when he left his position of Vice-Guildmaster of Kestrel. The fact that it is a newbie-related group makes it the target of Kestrel's PKers. Leadership passed to Silabus when Kuhn left to join Raven, and then finally to Haseo, because he's a "natural leader".
Canard's @HOME was originally a small-guild @HOME located in Mac Anu, the same kind used by the Twilight Brigade and Raven. Later, as Haseo's prestige increases, Canard's @HOME moves to a medium-sized guild @HOME in Dol Dona. In Volume 3, the Canard @HOME is moved to the large-sized guild @HOME in Breg Epona. Eventually, due to Zelkova's interest in Haseo's PC, he permanently moves the @HOME to Net Slum Tartarga.
The original gruntie was Kuhn's Grunty, but after he left, Silabus's Sila Grunty took over. When Haseo took over as Guild Master, the Grunty became Death Grunty.
Ex MembersEdit
The World FORCE:ERAEdit
- Canard wings are stabilizers on aircrafts that reduce drag. Silabus notes that the guild was made to help newbies just like how canards assist aircrafts during flight.
- In .hack//Alcor, Nanase was a member of Canard. However, by the time the G.U. games occurred, she's already left, possibly playing Sophora full-time now.
- Interestingly enough, "canard" is French for "duck", which continues the naming Guilds after birds theme established by Kestrel and Raven.
- In .Hack 4Koma, a repeating gag is characters guessing that Canard means going senile when others are unable to come up with its meaning.
- Haseo does not become the Guildmaster in G.U.+

The developers of Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy have given fans of the games a gift: source codes. Given the closure of LucasArts and how much the fans have been wanting the codes, they decided to go ahead and make them freely available. Yes, it is super classy.
From a statement they sent to Kotaku:
"Raven is sad to hear about the closing of LucasArts today, we respected them and enjoyed working with them over the years," said the studio in a statement sent to Kotaku Australia. "We wish the best for all the talented people who were let go and hope they find good work in studios in the industry.
"We loved and appreciated the experience of getting to make Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy for LucasArts. As a gift to the persistently loyal fanbase for our Jedi games and in memory of LucasArts, we are releasing the source code for both games for people to enjoy and play with."
Get the code from the links below – just remember it isn't supported any longer.

Hamilton: The ICC Match Referee Allan Hurst on Wednesday ruled out 12 noon start in the last two Tests of three-match series between India and New Zealand as both the teams are reluctant to play under flood lights.
Hurst advised Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Daniel Vettori that lights will not be available after New Zealand and India indicated they prefer not to use them.
The series playing conditions allow the use of lights where available but only if agreed by the teams.
The Seddon Park, venue for the first Test in Hamilton and McLean Park, Napier venue for the third Test from March 26 have the flood lights facility.
New Zealand Cricket had also stated on Tuesday they will stick to the original start time of 1100 hrs (local time).
"It will be very different for us. Playing at night it seems like. It will go on till don't know what time. That will be definitely difficult. I have not played any Test that starts at 12. It is definitely a bit of concern," Dhoni had said at the pre-match media briefing.

Paul sets record as Hornets hold off HeatNov 9, 2008 - 5:08 AM NEW ORLEANS (Ticker) -- Chris Paul took it upon himself to snap the New Orleans Hornets' two-game losing streak. It just so happened that he made history in the process.
The star point guard became the first player in NBA history to start the season with 20 points and 10 assists in six straight games - snapping the mark held by Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson - to lead the Hornets to a 100-89 victory over the Miami Heat on Saturday.
"It's an honor," Paul said. "Oscar Robertson is arguably one of the greatest to ever do it. He averaged a triple-double for an entire season and just to be mentioned in the same breath as him is an honor."
Paul scored eight straight points for the Hornets down the stretch to help hold off Miami. With his team nursing a seven-point lead midway through the fourth quarter, Paul buried a 3-pointer, then added a pair of driving layups and a free throw. Moments later, he dished to Peja Stojakovic for a game-clinching 3-pointer.
"He's such a special player and aggressively gets into the paint and makes plays," Miami head coach Eric Spoelstra said. "Even from our vantage point, I couldn't tell what play he was making."
Paul finished with 21 points, 13 assists, seven rebounds and four steals. Miami superstar Dwyane Wade was his equal in a losing cause, collecting 30, 10, six and one.
"We did a good job on ball screens and getting all of our options," Paul said. "We defended well, we did a good job of getting into the passing lanes and that got us going."
The Hornets finally found their offensive stride again after consecutive off nights earlier this week. After looking like a well-oiled machine during their 3-0 start to the season, they stumbled against the Atlanta Hawks and Charlotte Bobcats, averaging just 84.0 points over those two losses.
"We knew we had to come in tonight and dominate," Hornets forward David West said. "We came out aggressive and had to make sure that we maintained our aggressiveness."
But one thing that remained constant was Paul's production. The double-doubles kept coming regardless of the final results. Through six games, he is averaging 21.3 points and 11.7 assists.
"This is a very unusual stat," Paul said. "Assists only occur when your teammates do what they are supposed to be doing."
On Saturday, he faced a Miami group coming off a pair of impressive victories. The Heat defeated the Philadelphia 76ers and San Antonio Spurs thanks in large part to a revitalized defensive presence that registered 29 steals between the two contests.
But neither defense nor Wade's continued all-around dominance were enough to put the clamps on the Hornets, who took control with an 11-0 run in the second quarter and didn't look back.
"You've got to be able to play both sides of the game," Wade said. "We're not far away from it. You look at the first six games we played. You look at them like we could be .500 and hopefully we get better with time. Let's not forget that we're still growing."
The Heat were led by an unlikely source - backup guard Chris Quinn. The 25-year-old sharp-shooter hit three jumpers - including two from 3-point range - late in the third quarter as Miami pulled to within striking distance at 70-62.
Quinn, who was inactive for the first two games of the season, has scored 29 points over his last two games and is 9-of-13 from the arc.
"Overall when you look at it, I try to find the positive out of it and the positive is that we did OK," Heat center Udonis Haslem said. "The negative is we didn't play the way we did last night with the same energy."
New Orleans center Tyson Chandler, who missed two games last week with a sprained ankle, had his best game since returning to the lineup. He collected 13 points and 10 boards in 32 minutes.
Paul was 4-of-9 from the floor and 12-of-14 from the foul line on Saturday. Fellow All-Star West added 21 points and nine boards.

Admire the most beautiful places of Alberobello and add them to your basket. YAMGU will create your trip considering distances, opening hours and weather.
The Museum of the region "Casa Pezzolla''' is named after Dr. James Pezzolla, who lived in the second half of the 700's was the personal physician of the Acquaviva d'Aragona. The complex represents the tangible example of a culture's architectural evolution. In this group of properties, there are two types of buildings: one, more recently, spread over two floors with a tall, narrow facade topped by a triangular pediment; the other which represents the older part, is formed by simple organisms of small dimensions, for the most part single-celled, and equipped with characteristic elements of typ
The Museum is located in the spaces of the ancient "Cantina Albea" on the upper floor, it is an interesting example of an integral part of industrial architecture from the twentieth century. The visitor has the opportunity to compare the old agricultural tools and modern technologies of the wine cellar, to appreciate the evolution that has happened in the last century which has marked the growth and improvement of wine production in Puglia. The Albea wine cellar (Albea was the ancient name of Alberobello) was built in 1905. The structure is built with stone, the tanks used to contain the wine
The country's largest trullo is called Trullo Sovrano. Built by Pandey family in the middle of the 18th century, this two-storey building is used as a Museum and you can visit the Interior, decorated in taste, reconstructed through the testimonies of the older inhabitants alberobellesi.

Anxious zoo officials trying to determine whether giant panda is pregnant
Wednesday, April 28, 2010
The frozen liquid is in two vials that have been placed in a paper cup beside two freezer packs in a battered Styrofoam box on which is written in black marker: "Return to Panda House."
The specimen, which has been sucked off the floor of the National Zoo's Giant Panda compound with a plastic syringe, has just arrived by car at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Va. There, lab technician Sarah Putman pulls on her rubber gloves and prepares to analyze it.
The precious liquid is panda urine. And at the moment it contains vital clues to the future of Washington's giant panda population, currently holding at two.
Anxious zoo officials are trying this week to determine whether their female giant panda, Mei Xiang, is pregnant. She was artificially inseminated in January, and zoo scientists think she is at the end of her pregnancy cycle.
Experts say that means there will be, probably within days, either a new panda cub or an announcement that Mei Xiang has experienced a false or pseudo-pregnancy, which she has had the past three years.
The cycle is tracked, in part, by monitoring the level of the panda's progesterone, which rises at the start and falls steeply at the end. The cycle is considered over when the hormone level drops back to "baseline" and stays there without fluctuating for several days.
The hormone is found in the panda's urine, so the urine must be collected, packaged and couriered 70 miles to the lab to see how far the cycle has progressed.
On Monday, the level had been at baseline since Friday. "This is when we wait," zoo spokeswoman Pamela Baker-Masson said. It was still at baseline Tuesday.
For the zoo, this is a time of hope, and dread, officials said: hope that there could be another cub to replace the departed Tai Shan, who was sent to China in February; dread that there will be yet another failed attempt at pregnancy.
"It's heartbreaking when you get to the end and there's nothing there," said Janine L. Brown, head of the institute's endocrinology lab. "I kind of dread the end of today because it could be another . . . " Her voice trailed off.
The effort is even more intense because Mei Xiang and her mate, Tian Tian, could also soon be gone. Although the zoo hopes they can stay, they are here on a 10-year loan from China that expires in December.
Monday morning, panda keeper Mary Charlton packaged two vials of frozen urine, marked "MX" for Mei Xiang, into the scuffed Styrofoam container that the zoo has used for years to transport specimens.

Esperanza Spalding
February 7, 2012 by staff
Esperanza Spalding, This song, "Black Gold," is the first single from the forthcoming Esperanza Spalding record, Radio Music Society.
The Afro-centric implication of the title is no coincidence. The song was released yesterday, Feb. 1 – the first day of Black History Month. The video was premiered yesterday on a network called Black Entertainment Television. And to these ears, the music itself connects jazz aesthetics to sounds of black popular music today.
In case that message wasn't clear, Spalding wrote some commentary on the track for members of the press:
This song is singing to our African American heritage before slavery. Over the decades, so much of the strength in the African American community has seeded from resistance and endurance. I wanted to address the part of our heritage spanning back to pre-colonial Africa and the elements of Black pride that draw from our connection to our ancestors in their own land. I particularly wanted to create something that spoke to young boys.
A sample lyric:
Think of all the strength you have in you
From the blood you carry within you
Ancient man
Powerful man
Builders of civilization

Mike Tyson Eats Children (2001)
Acrylic Paints on Paper
In 2001, in the midst of my "watercolor on canvas" series, I created a series of acrylic paintings on paper, using house paints that were stored in the basement of the house I was living in. I created most of my paintings in my bedroom, which had large wood floors, but for some of the larger pieces, the basement was better.
My goal, if memory serves, was to transfer my skills honed on the "watercolors on canvas" paintings in a more traditional setting, with a more liquid, flowing look to the paints. This was achieved by mixing in unusual paints with the acrylics; I can't remember the specific name, but I used this adhesive paste used for applying kitchen tiles to the floor. A good example of the benefits of experimenting with materials beyond the standard paint kit.
The title was a bit of a joke. It refers to something Mike Tyson was shouting in preparation for one of his later fights. As usual for this time, I looked towards popular culture for the titles, hoping to introduce another layer of meaning to abstract art. I never cared for the cold serial number designations for most abstract works.

About RollerSimmer
RollerSimmer replied to RollerSimmer's topic in General and Gameplay Programming[quote name='Stroppy Katamari' timestamp='1352803366' post='5000515'] Frankly, I don't understand why you'd need accurate clash checking for a theme park sim. What are the objects whose clashes you need to prevent? [/quote] Maybe "collision" is the wrong word. I meant overlap avoidance of objects. Although there may be mini games involving free bodies that need physics and collisions. All I need is a simple boolean function that tells me if there is something where I want to place an object. Location of contact and force are irrelevant.
RollerSimmer replied to RollerSimmer's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingI'm going to try Bullet. I didn't really want a full physics simulator, just something for space occupancy to prevent overlapping items. I'll see if Bullet has something to that effect.
RollerSimmer replied to RollerSimmer's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingI was thinking about that. Each occupancy in the tree could have a tag giving it's shape type. I think vertical cylinders may be easy to include as well. Any shape with simple bound checking would work.
RollerSimmer posted a topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingI am involved in the development of an open source game featuring theme park construction and operation. For this game I want to make a quadtree map for collisions to prevent two solid objects from going in the same space. ( I have considered octrees, but they don't seem useful in relatively flat space. Quadtrees would be sufficient.) That part is mostly figured out, except for the core collision testing for each object in the tree. Triangles are very precise, and would correspond to the object's graphics almost exactly. The problem is that the algorithm is a little "involved" - both for me and the processor. For spheres I easily do a single-line function based off of distance-squared. Boxes, as long as they are axis-aligned, would be a simple case of comparing bounds. I've looked over a few texts explaining triangle intersection, and they involve multiple steps and a lot of linear algebra. I generally understand the math and geometry behind it, but it seems too complex for my needs. I would like a certain degree of precision (perhaps within a third of a meter or so), but with small radii and more points in the "cloud", I could make collisions somewhat accurate with variable-radius spheres. Axis-aligned boxes would require more comparisons, but not as many as triangles would. Plus I would still need a lot of "grains" to make the map accurate. Should I go for simple computations and high memory usage, or multiple step matrix and vector processing with lower memory usage? I would like graphical collision to be close to physical collision, but not exact. The polygon counts for large roller coaster track go into the 100K+ range. The number of objects on a map will be huge. Think along the lines of RollerCoaster Tycoon or SimCity. This game aspires to something of that scale, if not bigger. I am using Irrlicht game library for this game. I know there are some collision checks in that engine, but they seem tied to graphics scenes. I may want to make the collision geometry for certain objects (like ride track) simpler than their graphical mesh geometry. I figured a custom tree would be needed for this task. With STL dynamic structures, that should be a piece of cake. But if someone can point me to a better way, I would be glad. I don't like reinventing the wheel if I don't need to. Any general advice on collisions in 3D would be appreciated.
RollerSimmer posted a topic in Graphics and GPU ProgrammingI'm working on an open source theme park game, and need to know this. I have the bezier point function worked out: [code] for(t=0;t<1;t+=tstep) P(t)=pow(1-t,3)*P1 + 3*pow(1-t,2)*t*P2 + 3*(1-t)*pow(t,2)*P3 + pow(t,3)*P4; [/code] (I will put this into a matrix form, but used a polynomial statement for clarity.) This gives me the center point for each progression along the spline, but does not give me orientation. I was thinking of stepping the roll, pitch and yaw angles evenly from start to finish, but I still need to rotate the track vertices somehow. Eulers seem to work for most types of track elements, if I go in the progression of roll -> pitch -> yaw, but quaternions would probably be better if I had any skill using them. Another problem is overall track orientation. Since Tracks will be rotated on the y axis (yaw), I need to add a yaw value to the base yaw. My plan was to center a cross section of track at a certain center of gravity, like the rider's heart (if there was a middle seat). I would then rotate the cross-section by the <pitch,yaw,roll> angle triple, in the order I mentioned. I would start with the first cross section and extrude to the second, and then 3rd, 4th, ... all the way up to the last for the track segment specified by the 4 Bezier control points. is this a good way, or is there a better, streamlined version out there? I know of the heading concept < right vector, up vector, forward vector > , but am unsure how to implement it in this algorithm. BTW, we're planning to use Irrlicht engine for this game, so I have to do it in terms of its API.
RollerSimmer posted a topic in Everything UnixFirst off, the project I'm trying to get off the ground is a turned-based state simulator in the mold of SimCity or Civ. I have Allegro installed, plus a whole how-to book just for that library (even though it's the Windows version), but I want to make sure there isn't something else out there that makes development easier. I'm using Ubuntu but have Debian on the drive as well. I'm a C++ programmer and do most of my own graphics with GIMP and/or Inkscape. I'm hoping to import png files for all the graphics. Compiled graphics files don't interest me at all. I want this game to be easily modded, with graphics in folders on the drive. Also, anyone familiar with window or button-based GUI libraries, what are some recommendations? Here is a mockup of the UI that I just finished today (The layout is heavily inspired by SimCity games): [URL=http://s1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd515/Parkitect/DreamState/?action=view¤t=gameui.jpg][IMG]http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd515/Parkitect/DreamState/th_gameui.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [url="http://i1223.photobucket.com/albums/dd515/Parkitect/DreamState/gameui.jpg"]http://i1223.photobu...tate/gameui.jpg[/url] As far as actual representation on the screen, I think I'm going to go for a system where the player can switch between satellite to map representation, kind of like Google Maps. Either way, the function of plopping tiles will be the same.

We had a GREAT time on our trip to Park City, and our stay at the Newpark Resort was one of the best parts of the long weekend. The room was nicely decorated and the huge king bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept on. It was great to have a kitchen so we didn't have to eat every meal out, and the private jacuzzi right on our deck was a nice touch. We also went down to the main pool for a post-ski soak and sauna. There is a ski rental shop right in the hotel, which was very convenient, and they offer a great deal to hotel guests. We also visited the following businesses that are attached or semi-attached to the hotel: Nail salon, coffee shop/bakery, pizza place/bar, and breakfast restaurant. All were within walking distance for these California natives, even though it was a COLD February weekend. We didn't rent a car, and didn't need to. Everything is either within walking distance or a short bus or cab ride away. I would definitely recommend the Newpark Resort, and we will definitely be back!

Choosing between a gas grill and a charcoal grill is still highly debatable. Both grills have their own pros and cons, but the question remains, Is there a taste difference between gas and charcoal grill?
In order to achieve grilling perfection, you have to brown the surfaces of meat evenly to produce the Maillard reaction and caramelization. This is the state when the meat creates a complex, sweet compound on the surf. Searing is the process of creating a satisfying crust with an even sear from edge to edge. Therefore, the main challenge for both grills is to achieve a perfect searing process to release the natural meat flavors.
There are two main factors in achieving the searing process: getting the right temperature and smoke.
Control and convenience are also among the advantages of gas grills over charcoal grills.
Smoke can only change the flavor of food when they're cooked slowly like chicken, thick cut steaks, turkey, and other meat.

I asked a question late last night asking how to get the charges dropped on my boyfriend (assault 4 felony). I lied to the cop in my initial statement. I made up most of the story which caused him to be arrested. I turned myself in this morning af...
Typically no contact orders are stay in effect until the individual's case is disposed of. In other words, the order will be in effect until your boyfriend pleads to a particular offense and is sentenced, goes to trial and is victorious, or the case is dropped. It is my experience that judges do not lift no contact orders while a case is in progress because they do not want to be responsible if the defendant lawfully goes back to the victim and causes them further harm.
I would consult with an Oregon defense attorney as soon as possible.See question
What would they probably tell me in court about theft even though i didnt steal anything?.. Would i need a lawyer?
When your freedom is on the line, you should hire an attorney.
No matter what your intelligence or educational background or level of offense (felony or misdemeanor), the criminal justice system makes it virtually impossible to do a competent job of representing yourself. Each criminal case is unique, and only a specialist who is experienced in assessing the particulars of a case - and in dealing with the many variables present in every criminal case - can provide the type of representation that you need to receive if justice is to be done.
Short answer: Whether guilty or not guilty it is always in your best interest to hire an attorney.See question

For those who enjoy high-stakes financial drama, there is an exciting contest going on now between Cyprus and Greece as to who can push the Troika the furthest without turning it away for good. Neither country has yet been able to make the Troika "agree" to its "demands", as if this were a business transaction between equals.
"The troika has not accepted the Democratic Left's demands," the Greek finance minister Finance Minister informed the media. The DL, one of the coalition partners, has refused to agree to the labor reforms required by the Troika.
"The EU is obliged to change the ways and means of addressing the crisis," Cyprus president Dimitris Christofias grandly declared to his people, as if he had a say in the matter. The Troika got so frustrated with the Cypriots' refusal to agree to labor reforms that it flew home and has not scheduled a return visit. Christofias said that he expected the troika to return "as soon as possible". That was last week, and the Troika still hasn't called him back to set a date.
Both countries are supposed to run out of cash in mid-November, so they are dancing on the edge of the precipice. They know that Europe will agree to almost anything to prevent them from leaving the eurozone, which they think gives them leverage.
They are playing a very risky game, because it isn't Europe who has the final say on whether they get the money or not. That rests with the elected representatives of the very stingy German and Finnish people, who have reserved the veto power to themselves. A few emollient phone calls from Hollande or Monti, or a few desperate phone calls from Athens or Nicosia, are unlikely to sway many votes in Helsinki or Berlin.

Kerry Washington: SPF is a must!
Kerry Washington has implored people not to go out without SPF.
The Scandal actress is creative consultant for Neutrogena and as part of the role she's got involved with the company's Choose Skin Health campaign. It aims to make people think more about skin cancer, both in terms of prevention and realising that no matter your race you could be affected.
"People of colour are so vulnerable when we don't use SPF because sun damage leads to skin cancer. It's really important that we protect ourselves, and that we have the information and do annual skin screenings, because skin cancer is one of the most preventable cancers," Kerry told style.com. "There's just no excuse for people to suffer the way they used to."
The 38-year-old star is never without SPF, no matter what time of year it is. Many people only bother using this kind of product when they're on a sunny holiday, but it's just as important to stay protected when you're at home.
That's why Kerry shared her tips for never being called short, which include making sun tan lotion part of your everyday routine.
"I like to use a foundation that has SPF in it so it just happens. I like to use a moisturiser that has SPF in it year-round, because I think when we create situations where we have to do something different we're less likely to do it," she explained. "So I might change the product that I use depending on the time of year, but I'm never without SPF."
In her new TV movie Confirmation, Kerry portrays attorney and academic Anita Hill. She hit the headlines in the 90s when she claimed Judge Clarence Thomas had sexually harassed her, calling his nomination into the US Supreme Court into question.
Playing such a strong woman was a dream for Kerry, even if it meant dressing in styles from the decade. That said, it did allow the star to remember some of her fashion hits from then.
"That was around the time of Mary J. Blige's first album, and I was just sort of finding my voice, so I feel like there were a lot of oversized baseball jerseys and hoop earrings in my world as a Bronx kid," she laughed.

Here are a handful of quick-hit notes as the Ravens trail the Redskins 21-14 after 30 minutes of play:
- How many times have "speedy, big-play" wide receivers made their way to Baltimore only to fail to deliver big plays? I can count quite a few. Through two games, however, Lee Evans has looked like the real deal. Evans made three catches for 68 yards in his Ravens debut last week, and through the first half tonight, he's made two grabs for 49 yards, including a beautiful 35-yard touchdown reception on a go-route. This guy truly looks like he might bring the vertical element to the Baltimore, unlike many other fast wideouts we've seen in purple and black over the years.
- Joe Flacco cannot telegraph passes as badly as he did on that interception early in the first quarter. Flacco stared down Anquan Boldin from the second he got the snap, and when Boldin came out of his break, Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall jumped the route and the ball was there waiting for him. This might be the preseason, but you never want to see your quarterback throw a ball like that.
- I'll say this: after Flacco threw that pick, he settled down, especially when he had time to throw. Flacco was thrown around like a rag doll on more than a couple occasions, but on plays that he had time to survey the field, he made good decisions with the football. He finished the half 12-of-20 for 169 yards, with one touchdown and one interception.
- I'm convinced Jarret Johnson is one of the most underrated players in the NFL. He brings it on every snap, plays hurt, and is a force near the line of scrimmage. I'd love to see the veteran make a Pro Bowl one of these days, but he probably doesn't have a high enough profile for that to happen.
- In his biggest test since tearing his ACL last training camp, Domonique Foxworth might get a passing grade, but not by much. Foxworth got beat twice, by my eye, and didn't appear to have great recovery speed as he chased Anthony Armstrong down the sideline on Armstrong's 33-yard reception. Foxworth will have plenty of hurdles to overcome as he works his way back to full strength, and tonight was one of them.
- Cary Williams has looked fairly strong. Jimmy Smith finally got burned. Lardarius Webb is a beast on blitzes. Those are the rest of my cornerback thoughts through 30 minutes of game action.
- Does Ray Rice have pine tar on his hands? That dude makes those one-handed catches on sharply thrown Flacco passes look far too easy.
- Torrey Smith's disappointing training camp and preseason continue. Two more drops tonight for the rookie, including one at the end of the half on a pass that hit him right in the chest with no defender nearby.

The Diversity Of Gifts (PART 2 Of 3) by Ernest Easley
This content is part of a series.GOD'S GIFTS OF GRACE
"The Diversity of Gifts" (Part 2 of 3)
Romans 12.3-8
March 5, 2000
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
This morning we're in Romans chapter 12 thinking about
God's Gifts of Grace! We're going to begin reading in
a minute beginning in verse 3.
Now because God gives every believer a special ability
to build up the body of Christ . . . you friend, are
important to God! And not only to God, but to the
body of Christ! Paul says in 1 Corinthians 12.27,
"Now you are the body of Christ, and members
You say, "Pastor, how can I be important to the body
of Christ? I'm not very smart! I'm not very strong!
I don't have much to offer the body of Christ!"
Friend . . . you are the kind of person God often uses
the most! Did you know that?
1 Corinthians 1.25-29, "Because the foolishness of God
is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger
than men. For you see your calling, brethren, that
not many (not all) wise according to the flesh, not
many (not all) mighty, not many (not all) noble, are
called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the
world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the
weak things of the world to put to shame the things
which are mighty; and the base things of the world and
the things which are despised God has chosen, and the
things which are not, to bring to nothing the things
that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence."
How many of you have won a state championship or a
beauty contest or graduated Valedictorian of your
class? God can even use you! "Not many wise
according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many
noble, but God has chosen the foolish things of the
world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the
weak things of the world to put to shame the things
that are mighty,"
And then in Romans 12.3, "For I say, through the grace
given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to
think of himself more highl ...

Subwoofer Specifications
Efficiency (1w/1m) is not an accurate indicator of a subwoofer's output capability and should not be used as a comparison to other speakers or subwoofers to determine which one is "louder".
Round/Circle: This is the typical and common subwoofer design. They have a round cone and are a circle in design.
Square: These woofers are able to achieve a greater cone area in a smaller space. Because of the greater surface area, some square subwoofers will be louder than a round subwoofer of the same size.
Enclosure Specifications
Sealed - Sealed boxes are those that have no holes or vents in it. The only hole in a sealed box is where the subwoofer is installed. Smaller sealed boxes require more power than a larger sealed box. They provide a tight, accurate bass, while the larger sealed enclosures provide a "boomier" and louder bass.
Ported / Vented - Ported/Vented Enclosures provide an even boomier, louder bass, but less accurate then a small, sealed box. Ported enclosures typically require more airspace per sub and also less power output from an amplifier to perform correctly.
Bandpass - Bandpass enclosures make subwoofers perform efficiently, but loose. The bass is not as "boomy" as a ported enclosure nor as punchy as a sealed enclosure. Bandpass enclosures work well with lower to mid-level subwoofers.
Binding post terminals are a sturdier, more versatile type of speaker terminal. Because binding post terminals are are threaded, you can tighten them down against the wire or connector for a tight, clean connection. The most popular style of binding post terminals is known as a "5-way binding post". This type can accept bare wire, or any of the common speaker wire connectors. Binding posts with the option to be used with banana clips are even more versatile
Spring posts are a hybrid of the two. Instead of using a thread and "screwing" them tight, they use a spring to allow the wire to fit and tighten against the terminal.
