I work for IntraPoint's Research & Innovation group. IntraPoint located in Norway and Washington D.C. is a leading provider of Crisis Management & Business Continuity solutions. IntraPoint has also partnered with NASA in the field of disaster management(NASA Collaborates to Create Disaster Management Technologies).
My work mainly involves researching new and breakthrough technologies in the field of emergency management. Depending on the project at hand I write software primarily in JavaScript and PHP. My latest work has to do with multi factor authentication using Node.js.
While the research I do is very exciting and challenging it is also very fulfilling because the products I work on saves lives. It allows organizations to bounce back after a crisis thus saving thousands of jobs.
I feel elated that the products I program provide for emotional solace to so many families by providing them with accurate information about their loved ones during an accident.

Schools have the chance to receive $4,000 through a competitive, nationwide funding program to help them implement their Fuel Up to Play 60 (FUTP60) program successfully. The next application deadline is January 15, 2013 – so if you know of a school who already is a FUTP60 school or one who may be interested in joining FUTP60, let them know of this great opportunity. Now is the time to apply. http://school.fueluptoplay60.com/home.php
How have schools used their FUTP60 fund?
- Purchase Vitamixers to make yogurt or milk smoothies at school
- Taste testing of new school meal options as part of the "Healthy Plays"
- Initiate classroom activities breaks or after school physical activities
- Promote healthy, yummy options on the menus
- Host a school-wide FUTP60 kick-off event, featuring an NFL player or mascot
- Painting activity grids on their playground area
Austin Independent School District was recently awarded a $320,000 grant by DairyMax, a Fuel Up to Play 60 program partner, to give their elementary school playgrounds a new look. The grant money was used to repaint student's playground with grids, maps and rulers that allow the children to use their imaginations to create fun games that not only take classroom activities outdoors, but also get the kids active.

Culture, music, beer, sunshine. This weekend sees one of the ultimate offerings of all these elements under one roof. And by roof I mean 'district' of London. And when I say sunshine I mean more beer.
The Camden Crawl is a two day event spanning Friday 25th and Saturday 25th April, showcasing 150 bands, artists, poets and film pieces across 40 venues, ending up on Saturday Night at the Roundhouse with performances from Kasabian and Madness.
As a preview, the lovely people at The Londonist have compiled a collection of free, legal mp3s from the majority of the bands performing. There's 65 free tracks to download, so you can select your favourites, share the love, and make sure you don't miss out.
Before this starts to seem like a big promotional ploy or sponsorship for event or website, I've no affiliation with either. My reasoning is that music discovery has changed. You don't hear 'new' bands on national radio anymore. Up and coming artists aren't getting the support of CD sales that they used to, and so live events are becoming extremely important for both performer and punter. Yes, the internet is a great source of new music, but you need a very good filter or the patience of a saint to wade through the endless streams of average (and below) music.
Why the Camden Crawl? Why not? It's today, you have nothing better to do, and the free download taster just tops it all off (oh, did I mention the beer?). Head over there now and buy your tickets before it's too late.
Unfortunately I won't be there this year, but you can certainly thank me at future events. I accept beer, in case you're wondering.
Lee Jarvis.

CINCINNATI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The results are in and according to cleaning managers across the
country, 44 percent agree the recession is over, up five percent from
last year's results. This is one of many interesting facts resulting
from the 2015 Cleaning Industry Insights Survey, released today by P&G
ProfessionalTM, the away-from-home division of Procter &
Gamble. The annual study reveals observations from cleaning industry
professionals and key decision makers across Commercial, Healthcare,
Hospitality/Lodging and Food Service sectors.
Respondents say that they expect their sector to grow over the next
year, a result that has stayed consistent year over year, with 76
percent of all respondents agreeing in 2015 and 77 percent in 2014.
Within Food Service, a full 85 percent of cleaning managers expect their
business to improve over the next year, up six percent from 2014 (79
However, while many cleaning managers are optimistic about the future
growth of their business, the number of managers under pressure to keep
operating costs down has increased five percent from 2014, to 78
percent. Managers in Healthcare reflected the largest increase in cost
pressures, up 11 percent over 2014, although they recorded the lowest
overall percentage by sector (76 percent).
"With labor costs accounting for almost half of overall operational
costs, it is understandable that cleaning managers want effective
products that get the job done right the first time, reducing the time
it takes to thoroughly clean," said Paul Edmondson, P&G Professional
Americas Commercial Director. "Our multipurpose cleaning and
disinfecting products are not only highly effective, they're also very
simple to use, so employees can eliminate steps and still get the job
done right the first time. This helps our customers simplify training,
reduce rework and reduce overall operating costs."
Efficiency Is Key
Most managers (76 percent) report keeping costs down by finding ways to
be more efficient and only 15 percent say that they would prefer to
raise prices for customers or clients. Almost half of all cleaning
industry professionals report both retaining staff and reducing turnover
(47 percent) and training staff (47 percent) are some of the top ways
they have become more efficient in 2015, a significant 12 and 11 percent
increase over last year, respectively.
Cleaning managers in the Healthcare and Hospitality sectors saw an even
larger spike in retaining staff and reducing turnover as a way of being
more efficient, with 50 percent of cleaning managers reporting these
increases, 18 and 19 percent increases over 2014, respectively.
"P&G Professional offers streamlined solutions specifically designed for
each of our customer segments. This includes a team of dedicated service
technicians, as well as easy-to-understand training, which can help
businesses and managers be more economically efficient," Edmondson
Similar to 2014, more than half of managers across industries cite
products that get the job done right the first time (51 percent) as
the number one most helpful factor for performing cleaning services.
High quality/effectiveness (39 percent) and versatility of use (33
percent) also continue to stand out when it comes to defining value
with regard to cleaning products, as opposed to low-price point at
only 14 percent.
Product performance and ease of use also ranks highest (42 percent)
for managers when deciding what to purchase.
Customers Reign Supreme:
For the fourth consecutive year, cleaning industry professionals rank
keeping customers satisfied (34 percent) as the top priority for their
business, above growing the business (21 percent) and making a profit
(16 percent).
Customer dissatisfaction or complaints (52 percent) also tops the list
of concerns about cleaning and disinfection when it comes to their
business overall.
Keeping Bathrooms Clean: Bathrooms again rank as the area where
cleanliness is viewed as being most important to customers (34
The P&G Professional 2015 Cleaning Industry Insights Survey, based on
responses from 400 cleaning industry professionals and key decision
makers, was conducted online (in English) in partnership with Ipsos
Public Affairs in 2015 and these are some of its findings. The precision
of Ipsos online polls are measured using a credibility interval. In this
case, the poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 5.6

Quick Home Sale Guide
One of the biggest headaches when selling your home is becoming stuck in a chain – you cannot sell your property until the person buying has sold theirs, which is dependent on the person buying their home selling theirs, and so on.
Don't despair, though – there are a number of options available to house sellers if you're looking for a quick property sale.
The first, and simplest, option is to approach a property purchasing company, also known as house buyers, who offer cash for homes. These can ensure that your property is sold relatively fast, though you may find you have to offer a discount on your original asking price to ensure a quick cash sale (though compare it to relevant estate agent fees and solicitors costs).
However, if you find yourself having to move because of financial difficulties, another option you can consider is to sell and rent back property. That means instead of having to sell your house and move into a smaller property, you can sell your house to a property company with an agreement to rent from the purchaser. This allows you to free up much needed cash, which you can then use to pay off your debts and pay rent with, helping you to recover your personal finances.This can be especially useful in the event of mortage arrears and the threat of repossession.
Of course, whatever your circumstances, you can also attempt a private sale, either advertising your property online, or else set up an advertisement in the local paper with a headline such as buy my house. You may find that it's much easier to work through a quick house sale via a professional house buying company, though, but if you do so, make sure that you do read the small print. The last thing many home owners would want is to sign up to an equity release agreement only to find themselves facing a reversion of ownership do to a clause in the contract.
While most property investment companies that do offer a cash sale are generally reputable, because most people have most of their cash invested in their property, you definitely need to continue to look after that investment, no matter their personal circumstances.

2014 FIFA World Cup is worth a punt, even if it isn't next-gen
Time for a Brazilian?
First, the bad news: EA Canada's virtual recreation of this summer's Brazilliant footballing bonanza is only coming to PS3 and Xbox 360. (It's been in development for 15 months, and so next-gen was never on the cards.) Now, the good: it still serves up a fine round of sphere-booting and Australia-beating. Those used to PS4 FIFA will initially find it fast and frantic, but you settle into things after a couple of games, and then notice a few areas where it's actually improved upon the studio's next-gen effort.
Heading is toned down so it's harder to score with your bonce, defenders leap over forwards to nod aerial balls clear, and AI players are a touch shrewder--shepherding the ball out of play when it's set to be their goal kick or throw-in, for instance. Happily, penalties have been simplified too: you can no longer put the ball over or wide if you stop the needle in the green part of the traditional accuracy meter.
Being the official game of the biggest sports event in the universe (fret not, I still consider the Super Bowl a close second), this of course packs in all the stadia, teams, kits, squads and managers who'll feature this summer, virtual Woy woaming the touchline as furiously as in real life. But here's the astonishing part: it also features all the nations who didn't qualify for shenanigans in South America. That's 203 countries in total, from Argentina and France to American Samoa and Fiji. Simply incredible depth, and each can be used to replay qualifying or be inserted into your own custom World Cup.
In previous games of this ilk, there was little to do on the path to a major tournament (or indeed at the tourney itself) beyond play matches. Here, however, you get to improve squad members by placing them in FIFA's famed mini-games. Four can be upgraded in between each match, with results correlating directly to the mini-game you choose--so a sterling performance in the shooting drill raises a player's finishing stats. It's a welcome diversion from the match-match-match grind, and is typical of the other tweaks made here. More evolution than revolution, then. However--on this evidence--its enough to justify significant interest even if you've already invested in this game's bigger PS4 / Xbox One brother.
Click through for more images and info from the game.
All 12 Brazilian stadiums are in the game--along with a handful of those used in qualifying, such as Wembley and Romes Stadio Olimpico.
The training games are an innovative add, and mean even Mexico have a shot at glory under your tutelage.
EA Sports Football Club data carries over from FIFA, opening up a world of unlockables. Because what England fan doesnt have their heart set on Germanys 1990 World Cup winning kit?
Atmosphere is a big area of focus, and extends to cutaways of fans watching games in their home countries at venues like Trafalgar Square and the Brandenburg Gate.
Menus are easy to navigate despite their yellow-and-green garishness. Then again, at a Brazilian World Cup what other colour scheme would be acceptable?

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: The patient is a (XX)-year-old G1, P0 at 39-3/7 weeks with an EDD of MM/DD/YYYY based on a 6-week ultrasound. The patient presented to L and D with complaints of contractions every 3 minutes and leaking of fluid since 0400 on MM/DD/YYYY. The patient reports positive fetal movement and denies vaginal bleeding. Prenatal care began at 9 weeks x15 visits. Total weight gain was 37 pounds. The patient is A positive, rubella immune, GBS positive. She has no known drug allergies.
Upon admission, vaginal exam was 1, 80% and -1 station per the RN. Fetal heart tones were 124, positive long term variability, positive acceleration and no decelerations. Uterine contractions every 2 to 3 minutes, 60 to 80 seconds and moderate to palpation.
1. Term pregnancy.
2. Spontaneous rupture of membranes.
3. Spontaneous labor.
4. Reassuring fetal status.
PLAN: Admit the patient to the labor and delivery unit. Dr. Doe informed and agrees with plan. GBS protocol, ampicillin. The patient encouraged to ambulate, shower, use the birth ball. Reassess in 3 to 4 hours or p.r.n.
At 1500 hours on MM/DD/YYYY, the patient continued to breathe with contractions. Her husband was at her side and was quite supportive. Vital signs were stable. Fetal heart tones were in the 120s with average long term variability, positive accelerations, no decelerations. Uterine contractions were every 2 to 5 minutes for 50 to 90 seconds, moderate to palpation. Vaginal exam at that time was 2, 80%, -1 station. There had been minimal cervical change; however, fetal heart tones remained reassuring. Plan was to start Pitocin per protocol after having reviewed the options with the patient, who was agreeable to the plan. Continue to ambulate, use the birth ball or shower, and reevaluate after 3 to 4 hours. Dr. Doe was made aware of the plan and agreed.
At 2100 hours, the patient reported being more uncomfortable during the contractions but able to rest between. She was feeling most of her pain in her back. Her husband was at the bedside providing support. The patient was ambulating and using the birthing ball and showering but was requesting an epidural. Vital signs remained stable, as did the fetal heart tones. The vaginal exam was 5, 80%, 0 to -1 station.
At 2300 hours, the patient was resting comfortably with her epidural. Temperature at that time was 99.6 and Tylenol per rectum was given. Fetal heart tones were 120s with average long term variability but prolonged decelerations down to the 90s and sometimes 60s x3 minutes with prolonged uterine contractions. Uterine contractions were every 1-1/2 to 5 minutes and there was coupling and they were lasting 50 to 70 seconds and moderate to palpation. The vaginal exam was 7 to 8 cm, 80%, 0 to -1 station and caput was forming. Pitocin was at 16 mU. Dr. Doe was informed of decelerations, which seemed to be eliminated by maternal position changes and agreed with the plan to continue Pitocin augmentation.
At 0400 hours, the patient was reporting increased vaginal and rectal pressure and had an urge to push. She was still comfortable with her epidural. Vital signs: Temperature was 98.8, fetal heart tones were 144 with minimal long term variability but positive accelerations and early decelerations with contractions. Uterine contractions were every 1-1/2 to 5 minutes with coupling and lasted 60 to 100 seconds long, strong to palpation. The Pitocin was at 10 mU. Vaginal exam was complete, +1 station with caput. The patient was only feeling mild urges to push and so the plan was to continue laboring down and to begin pushing efforts when there was a stronger urge.
At 0600, the patient was complete and laboring down. She reported a strong urge to push and pushing was begun. The patient pushed effectively. Fetal heart tones were 130s with minimal to moderate long term variability with no accelerations. There were variable decelerations down to the 70s x 1-1/2 to 2 minutes with pushing efforts with a slow return to baseline after the contraction. O2 was applied and Pitocin was turned off. Dr. Doe was paged and Dr. Jane Doe, the house officer, was requested to evaluate the patient for possible vacuum extraction. Dr. Jane Doe presented at the patient's bedside for evaluation of fetal station which was 0 with caput at +1 in LOA position. Dr. Jane Doe recommended restarting the Pitocin after 30 minutes of rest at 4 to 5 mU and then increase slowly to allow the fetus to labor down. After turning on the Pitocin, fetal heart tones were in the 130s with moderate long term variability, positive accelerations and no decelerations. Uterine contractions were every 3 to 5 minutes, lasting 60 to 90 seconds and strong. The patient was resting comfortably with the epidural. Dr. Doe was aware and continued to agree with the plan. At 0830 hours, report was given to certified nurse midwife, who resumed the care of the patient.
LABOR PROGRESS: At 0900, the patient was pushing with contractions. She was feeling pressure but was still comfortable with the epidural. The patient stated that she was exhausted. The Pitocin was restarted at 2 mU as the RN realized that the catheter had come loose from the patient's IV and the Pitocin was not being delivered to the patient. Pitocin currently now at 18 mU per minute. Contractions were every 2 to 6 minutes, 50 to 60 seconds long. Fetal heart tones were 125, average variability, 15 x 15 accelerations with mild variable decelerations with good return to baseline. Vaginal exam at 0830 hours was complete, 100%, with the head at the 0 station and the caput at +2 station. The patient appeared to be making some progress with pushing; however, Dr. Doe was consulted and was asked by the CNM to assess the patient after leaving an OR case. The plan was that the patient would continue pushing provided fetal heart tones remained stable until Dr. Doe was able to get out of the OR to evaluate her. The plan was to consider vacuum extraction.
DELIVERY NOTE: The patient pushed extremely well and through excellent maternal efforts and frequent position changes, the infant rotated and descended and normal spontaneous vaginal delivery occurred at 0950 hours in the LOA position over intact perineum. Meconium-stained fluid was noted as the head came over the perineum and Neonatology was called to the room. The mouth and nose were bulb suctioned on the perineum by the CNM. The shoulders delivered easily and a nuchal cord loose x1 was noted and reduced with the delivery of the body. The cord was immediately clamped x2 and cut by the father of the baby and the infant was taken to the warmer for evaluation by Neonatology. The placenta delivered spontaneously at 0958 hours, was complete, had a 3-vessel cord, and was in the Schultz fashion. EBL was 200 mL. Pitocin was run open after the delivery of the placenta. The vagina was inspected and a first-degree vaginal and left first-degree labial laceration were repaired with 2-0 chromic and 3-0 Vicryl respectively. The fundus was firm, midline, and -2. There was light lochia. Infant's Apgars were 6, 8 and 9. Weight was 7 pounds 16 ounces. The mother and the infant were left in stable condition.

Landman performance visualizer
For my final project, I created a performance visualization tool for 8-bit artist Nullsleep. The idea for the piece was to use Kinect depth information to create a changing landscape and then to have a 3D model of Nullsleep himself bounced around as the landscape shifts. To achieve this effect, I used the Bullet Physics c++ library, which is frequently used in games and procedural computer animation to create physical environments that move realistically. I navigated the incredibly complex Bullet Physics API to create a ground plane whose geometry would be determined dynamically based on the incoming depth information from the Kinect.
This project will continue to evolve as I work with Nullsleep to improve the aesthetics towards a premier at Blipfest this summer.
Landman code on Github
Differential Invariants on the depth Image (documentation in-process/unfinished)
For example, the gradient gives us the normal of the surface at point (x,y,z).
An example of finding the surface normals on the image of Lena , can be seen below. Something that needs to be noted is that the intensity values of this 2d image are treated as elevation values.
Code at: github
Final Project
Our code can be downloaded from github here.
We thought it might look nice to create some branching object that traces / follows the human body and has an anthropomorphic look.
We worked a lot on it, but the outcome was not the desired at all. Although the graphics on their own look nice / interesting, the outcome is not the one we would have liked when applied to data from the kinect.
We used the limb "begin / end" locations from the skeleton to create a set of 3D paths that our branching algorithm should follow. For the path following, we used Daniel Shiffman's path following Processing example that we ported to openFrameworks in 3D instead of 2D.
Some of the results follow:
On its own, our algorithm produces a visually rich outcome and this can be seen on the following image
Preliminary Music Visualizer
Next Steps:
1) Add Color
2) Work more on camera positioning and rotation
3) Automatic triggering of visual effects and rotation
4) Gesture control to trigger specific transformation sequences
5) Improve the pause/delay function for multiple point clouds
6) Experiment with different ways to map the FFT data to the point cloud.

then adding dot particles from a center point, when a person moved passed a z space threshold.
In the course of things I broke a lot of projects, especially moving back and forth between 062 and 007, but that's been really useful for getting sea legs in OF. But I spent most of the semester working on tests for a larger project called The Hidden Kingdom. My final for 3dsav includes getting spheres set up in a 3d space aligned with the Kinect space, defining boxes of space to determine interactions with people, starting treatment of the lighting, and reaction of the spheres. When a person comes in contact with a cube of space, all of the spheres in that space turn red and start to wobble upward... Code is here!

Holographic Warpaint
Last spring I worked on a play. It was an adaptation of Samuel Delany's epic science fiction novel, Dhalgren. This book is crazy, and the play was crazy - I did the sound design and worked on the video as well. This is the kind of book that sticks with you (the wild dense prose, the imagery, the....extremely detailed pornographic sex), and there were many things from the book that weren't realized in the play and I'm holding onto them. The book is set here - well, in a city somewhere in America - after an unnamed disaster has taken place. The city is a wasteland, but people are still living there. They live for free in parks, or squat in apartments where nothing works.
Gangs, known as the Scorpions, run the streets. This is the element I'm thinking about. Members of the Scorpions wear projector necklaces. When they press a button on the projector a holographic animal surrounds their bodies. Like holographic warpaint. One of the characters is known as Dragon Lady, because her projection is a dragon. One of them is a baby dinosaur - which I love. One of them doesn't work correctly and appears as an amorphous blob. I think it's weird that I can't find an image of this somewhere. I feel like it's one of the most memorable images from the book - gangs of fierce, oversized, holographic animals walking through the streets.
So, I made a failed attempt at this last semester in ICM using color tracking with lame colored LEDs strapped to my body. When the Kinect came out, I knew it was a solution, which is why I'm in this class.
I had previously envisioned a solid, neon colored animal shape for these shields, and thought of using skeleton tracking with OpenNI to animate a 3D character. I was nervous about the animated character, though, and pretty sure it would look dumb.
A simple, and I think effective, solution occurred to me late in the game. I reimagined the design of the holograms - they could be skinned as the creatures rather than shaped like them. I modified an example from class to remove background information, then map pixels from existing images to the depth image from the Kinect. I projected this onto two layers of mesh that I stood behind, producing a faux 3D projection effect. I tried a couple images - two dinosaurs and a lizard.
Here's a diagram of my setup:

Kinect Abnormal Motion Assessment System
Here's a video of a patient with sydeham corea, an example of one of these debilitating disorders:
We used the skeleton data from the Kinect, accessed via OSCeleton, in order to automate an existing test associated with these disorders, the Ames Involuntary Motion Scale. In this test, patients are instructed to sit still in a fixed position with their hands between their knees and then the doctors evaluates the amount the move on a subjective scale. Our application measured the position of the hands and knees in three dimensions and then added up the amount of motion those points underwent over a ten second testing period. Here's an example of what the application looks like:
Our team won the hackday and were invited to travel to San Diego to compete in the national Health 2.0 hackday. We presented out application again there and won that competition as well.
We are currently working on plans for a scientific study to validate this measurement approach as well as exploring commercial options for developing the application. More information about our application and motion disorders in general is available here: motionassessment.com

Homunculus is a video self-portrait that explores facial expressions and physical performance. In it, I use the position of my body to puppet a 3D model of my own head. Each limb is mapped to a particular part of the face that plays a role in determining the emotional expressiveness of a facial expression: my hands control my brows, my knees control the corners of my mouth, etc.
The result is that small facial movements that distinguish different emotional expressions — a raised eyebrow, a curled lip, a brow furrow — get amplified into the large scale movements of my whole body. To achieve particular expressions such as surprise, contentment, anguish, I'm forced to contort my body into absurd positions that bear little expressive relationship to the emotion being expressed by the puppet.
The process of designing the interface, of configuring the precise mapping between skeleton joints and areas of the 3D model, also required intensive attention on which parts of my face move when making each facial expression. And likewise the process of hand-building the 3D model of my face required diligent attention to the construction of my face.
Technically, the application access the skeleton data via OSCeleton and it loads up the 3D model (created in Cinema 4D) as an obj file. The code is available on GitHub: Head-Puppet. Here is a good tutorial for getting up and running with OSCeleton on OS X.

Aligning ofxOpenNI Skeleton and Point Cloud
ConvertRealWorldToProjective(2, pos, pos);
If you are computing the point cloud with a flipped y axis, you also need to flip the skeleton at this point:
pos[0].Y *= -1;
pos[1].Y *= -1;
From here, the data is ready to be used. If you want to see it, you need to change one more thing. Inside ofxTrackedUser.h, in ofxLimb::debugDraw():
glVertex2f(begin.x, begin.y);
glVertex2f(end.x, end.y);
Needs to be changed to:
glVertex3f(begin.x, begin.y, begin.z);

Reconstructing a Mesh from a Point Cloud
I posted a video describing one way to reconstruct a mesh from a point cloud in Meshlab, based on some info at the Meshlab blog.
Poisson Reconstruction in Meshlab from Kyle McDonald on Vimeo.
And I got a bunch of great tips from Sophie Barret-Kahn: here's an academic paper reporting on the different software that's available.
Rhino has a lot of tools for meshing, re-meshing, and surfacing (making parametrized functions that describe the mesh). Here's one for working with a point cloud:
There's more info on the Rhino tools here.
If you're more of a nerd, Matlab has some good low-level tools for handling this kind of data.
Finally, Blender has its own tools for dealing with mesh reconstruction. Taylor Goodman, who developed a structured light scanner for Makerbot, has a tutorial describing how to reconstruct a mesh for 3d printing from a point cloud:
I think there is a script for this on blenderartists but the site is broken at the moment.

Flocking as a series of matrix operations
This week, I've been getting a grasp on the Eigen BLAS library for C++ in order to convert Robert Hodgin's Cinder flocking tutorial into a linear algebra operation. This is intended to be an intermediary step as I move towards flocking as a GPGPU calculation. My guess is that if I can nail down the order of operations as matrices, it will lend itself to multithreaded and highly parallel processing.
So far, I have rewritten the separation algorithm as well as the gravitational pull towards the origin. There's an unexpected interaction between boids at close range which I cannot explain, even after comparing the matrix operations and the traditional code in calculations by hand, but they do seem to right themselves after a bit of a tango.
In addition to rewriting the flocking algorithm, I have attempted to fold in the OpenNI skeleton interaction and an OpenGL shader pipeline with limited success. The OpenGL shaders compile, but I haven't gotten to getting anything interesting to work (not even basic lighting), mostly because I've spent several days squashing mathematical bugs in the flocking code. I did manage to hack in the OpenNI skeleton and use it as a repelling force to particles that are influenced by the separation code. This will probably look a lot more interesting when the rest of the flocking code is implemented, and I have some point lights attached to the skeleton joints.
To conjoin the behavior of the boids with the skeleton, I expanded the size of the position matrix to include 15 additional columns, which hold the positions of the joints. Before user tracking begins, these points are randomly distributed, but once the user is obtained, the positions are overridden and are controllable. There are all kinds of problems with the render: scaling being the most obvious, but also some tearing in the frames. I'm also concerned that by scaling down to a world of about 10 units, I'm running into floating point nonsense. I'm trying to negotiate another problem that I'm having understanding the aperture and focal length of my stereoization example code.
I'll continue to work on it this weekend by first finishing the flocking code and then trying to render with some materials and lighting. Here are some notes on the matrices:

Auto Title Loans - Auto title loans contain similar features to traditional payday loans. Instead of providing a postdated check, borrowers must provide their car's title as collateral. Auto lending advertisements may tend to promote the speed with which consumers will have access to cash, but may not generally mention the interest rate of the loans, the likelihood a loan will result in a vehicle being repossessed, or the likely amount of time it will take for the borrower to repay the debt. One study described the pricing terms as "shrouded by the timing in which the borrower receives it," namely at the time that the loan is made, rather than the beginning of the application process. The same study noted that laws governing title loans generally do not disclose the "pattern of usage information to inform borrowers about the likely consequences of having taken out a loan." Researchers note that the proceeds from interest and fees are much more profitable to lenders than the value of repossessed collateral.
Online Payday Loans - While online payday loans make up a minority of the total loan volume, their market share has been growing in recent years. Online loans tend to be offered with fees equal to or higher than storefront loans - their major cost drivers are customer acquisitions (often through lead generation) and loss rates that are higher than brick-and-mortar payday lending. Some online payday lenders have been establishing operations offshore or in states with permissive lending laws in order to argue that they are not subject to more stringent restrictions.
Installment Loans - A number of payday loan companies have expressed their interest in or intent to move to an installment loan model. In states with more restrictive lending laws, installment lenders may tend to sell add-on products - such as credit, auto, and health insurance policies - the associated costs of which are not necessarily required to be disclosed to consumers under the Truth in Lending Act (TILA). Some have expressed concerns about certain features of installment loans, including high origination fees and front-loading of interest, that create incentives for repeated roll-overs, also known as "flipping." For example, one installment lender reported that rolling over existing loans makes up more than three-quarters of its loan volume.

Photo from Splash NewsJim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy announced their break-up yesterday on Twitter.
The irony is not lost on us that this is Autism Awareness Month, and no other celebrity couple has been so closely associated with the condition. McCarthy's 7-year-old son, Evan, has been diagnosed with autism, and she and Carrey have appeared regularly together at autism events and have been very vocal supporters of the Generation Rescue foundation, which believes that autism is caused by vaccination.
Both celebs, who had been together for five years, tweeted about their break-up yesterday afternoon.
"Jenny and I have just ended our 5yr relationship," Carrey wrote. "I'm grateful 4 the many blessings we've shared and I wish her the very best! S'okay!"
Thirty minutes later, McCarthy followed suit:
"Im so grateful for the years Jim and I had together. I will stay committed to Jane and will always keep Jim as a leading man in my heart," she wrote.
From their Tweets, it seems like both Carrey and McCarthy are OK with the split ... Now, if only I could get over it!

Overcriminalization: The Nuance We Need to Properly Address It
Lawyers are generally trained to appreciate nuance. A well-written or well-made argument generally contains a great deal of nuance, so that the judge or jury can see both sides of the story, and yet still find in favor of your client (such is the hope anyway).
But, as in most op-ed pages, you'll find nuance lacking. (In all fairness, you'll find nuance lacking in many blog posts, too. Ours included. We also have a point to make, and blog posts aren't novels.) When you have a point to make, you'll likely skip nuance in favor of piling on the facts or anecdotes that support your side. Such is the case - to some extent - with George Will's recent op-ed for the Washington Post: "When everything is a crime."
Will makes the case for the problem of overcriminalization in the form of our multitude of laws and regulations on the books. It's true that there are a multitude. It's reasonable to view this multitude as a bit of a problem in terms of our justice system and due process. Will cites a few sources as a sort of narrative arc to this story, including Harvey Silverglate's book Three Felonies a Day. To boil it down, Silverglate says that the average white collar professional could theoretically catch three felonies throughout the course of an average day - there are just that many offenses on the books.
But here's the nuance: it's largely theoretical that you'd catch three felonies a day. That doesn't mean what Will argues isn't a problem. Indeed, when prosecutors can set their sights on a target and make use of any of the thousands of offenses to force a plea deal or conviction, that's backwards. And it's a definite problem. We shouldn't deny or minimize that.
But the problem of overcriminalization really lies not in the number of offenses on the books, but in the approach to enforcing them. Here Will does provide some nuance, but it isn't stressed enough. We could definitely do with fewer laws on the books, but what we could do more with is dealing with how those laws are used when prosecutors set their sights on someone they believe is "guilty." Those who are "innocent till proven guilty" should be treated as such - not face a grab bag of offenses that could potentially apply to them if they find themselves subject to the authority of the state.

a) Will never ever need any customisations done to itb) Already has a Joomla installation and is very comfortable using Joomla
What's the issue with Zencart, OSC or Virtuemart you may ask?
The issue is this. First OSCommerce is a mess. Every single module …

Visual WebGui looks very interesting from a perspective that it allows you to develop a winforms application as you normally would and deploy it as a webapp (also).
As per some previous posts, I like to be able to jump seamlessly between platforms. I don't want to be tied down to anything if I can help it. This is why I wouldn't buy an Ipod and like Mark Pilgrim, I don't get the iphone phenomena. I want to use my application online, offline seamlessly. I want to have the same experience, …

We're Not Doing This Because We Believe In It, You Know
Daveybloke's regrettable Minister for Work and Pensions Withdrawal, Iain Duncan Smith, has overheard some seditious remarks in the Commons tea rooms and, like the good little swot he is, has gone straight to the Head Boy to tattle. It appears that Daveybloke's plot to reduce the number of parliamentary constituencies, thereby depriving Labour of up to twenty seats and formally euthanising the Liberal Democrats, has caused yet further squeals of discontent from the Conservatives. Although about thirteen Conservative seats are expected to be sacrificed in the Great Daveymander, the Head Boy has given a cast-iron pledge that nobody who matters will lose out, and has broached the idea of kicking upstairs to the House of Donors anyone who cares to be so kicked. Nevertheless, the Commons tea rooms are frothing with disaffection from Conservative MPs who resent the Government throwing them out of their jobs and paying them off with promises, for all the world as if they were actual public servants. Still, at least we now know for certain that, counting his own, there are at least fourteen jobs in the country that Iain Duncan Smith would rather not see lost.

After Port Lincoln we headed north to the steel town of Whyalla for two nights in the Whyalla Discovery Tourist Park. A bit expensive but we were again right on the water's edge - for the fourth camp in a row. We had a fierce wind storm that threatened at one point to seriously damage the canvas of our camper trailer.

Mihajlovic na红利期赚钱项目med Serbia boss
As expected, former Fiorentina boss Sinisa Mihajlovic has been named as the new national Coach of Serbia.
The former Lazio and Inter defender was in pole position to be confirmed as Vladimir Petrovic's successor after their dismal Euro 2012 qualifying campaign.
Mihajlovic has also had coaching spells at Bologna and Catania in Italy. He turned down the opportunity to become Inter boss last summer.
The Serbian was dismissed by the Viola in November and was replaced by Delio Rossi. The latter was sacked himself earlier this month.
The 43-year-old has signed a two-year contract which will reportedly earn him €300,000 a year.网络外围投注p>

As part of my "eat all the iron" life plan to address my iron deficiency, I've discovered the world of lentils. According to Whole Living, they are "loaded with fiber, folate, iron, protein, and other vitamins and minerals." Lentils are often used in Indian foods, like dhal (a stew made from pulses like lentils.) I've never been a huge fan of Indian spices, but I used dhal as inspiration for this toned-back, mellow preparation of green lentils. I like to serve it over white rice with a fresh salad on the side. Here's my recipe for lentils!
Green lentils and rice
1 yellow onion, diced
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon butter
1 cup dry *green lentils, washed
3 ½ cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon *cumin
Pinch hot paprika
¼ teaspoon *turmeric
¼ teaspoon *brown mustard seeds
Fry the onions in butter in a medium saucepan for a few minutes. When they are just starting to caramelize, add the garlic. Once the garlic has softened, add the broth and stir. Bring that to a boil, then add the lentils, cumin, paprika, and optional spices if you're using them. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to simmer. Now just leave it alone. For me, it takes 30-40 minutes to cook through. Keep an eye on them, especially in the last 10 minutes, to make sure you haven't cooked off all the liquid. If it's starting to look dry, add another ½ cup broth or water. The end result should be lentils in just a little bit of sauce. The only way I know to test them is to take a bite – the lentils should be cooked through and not grainy or tough. Try not to overcook them either, as they can get mushy. I haven't included salt in the recipe as the broth I use is salty enough. When you check them to see if they are done, you make need to add a little salt, especially if you've used a low sodium broth.
Serve over cooked white rice. (I'm assuming you can make rice; if not, here's a good place to learn!)
Do you make lentils? Do you have an amazing recipe for Indian food that will make me change my mind? I do like pakora – does that count? Tell me in the comments!

This paper model is the Holy Grail, a Biblical artifact said to have supernatural powers, from the Indiana Jones entertainment franchise, the papercraft was created by Wolf. A person that drank from the cup was granted eternal life and youth, though this effect would last only until they crossed the Great Seal that marked the entrance to the cup's resting place at the Temple of the Sun. Water poured from the Grail could heal severe injuries, such as a gunshot wound.

A Man Who Loves To Collect Guitars
Playing guitar has always been my passion. I consider it as an outlet for my emotions. I have different kinds of guitar and every time I go to different places I make sure that I purchase a guitar as a souvenir. Throughout the years of collecting guitars, I have mastered the factors that make a guitar beautiful and worth your penny.
Buy as many as you can
For guitar collectors like me, having as many guitars as possible gives a sense of pleasure. In my guitar collection, I have both the new models and the vintage ones. It does cost me money, but I don't mind at all.
Get a better version
Whenever I purchase a new guitar, I always make sure that I buy the better version. I always see to it that the guitar I purchased can be used on special occasions. As for me, I record my own song and I also perform. Hence, having a presentable guitar is a must.
Budget allocation
I know that collecting a guitar is quite an expensive passion. I must admit there are times when I feel like I have to sacrifice other important stuff just to buy a new guitar. My usual budget is around $200, but I am willing to stretch my budget a bit more if I feel like the guitar is worth it. Of course, I consider the design, style, and quality of construction.
Currently, I have a total of eight guitars and I purchased them from different places. I have different varieties of guitar such as the single coil electric guitar, humbucker electric guitar, a 12 string acoustic guitar, a steel string acoustic guitar, semi hollow body electric guitar, and a classical nylon string guitar. It took me two years to collect all these types of guitars. It is a long process and I know that my addiction to guitar will not stop here. I am a self-confessed traveller and whenever I visit new places the first thing I look for is guitar.
Collecting a guitar is a hobby that takes self-discipline. A guitar comes with an expensive price tag, especially if you want to collect premier guitars. You have to manage your finances and see to it that you are not sacrificing other things just because of your addiction to guitars. I know it is easier said than done for I myself can't sometimes control myself. I love my guitars and they are all worth my time and money.

Review from forcedexposure.com:
Star Spangled Banger was a short-lived studio project that resulted in a sole, self-titled album and single in 1973. With the record company closing soon after its release, the album was quickly deleted.
Principal songwriter John Brownrigg originally hailed from Liverpool and had played in several bands during the Merseybeat boom of the early '60s — as his own brick on the Cavern Club wall of fame attests. The band were put into the studio with engineer/producer Gil Matthews.
Armed with a stack of sound effects records, the album was recorded at odd hours and resulted in an eclectic mix of progressive rock, protest songs and ballads — with a healthy dose of humor (witness: 'Fancy Underpants!'). Added to this mix are: explosions, backwards tapes, crazy keyboards, nuclear explosions, crashing aeroplanes and fuzzed-out psych guitar.

Managing user accounts in Microsoft Active Directory is an open challenge to every IT administrator. Manual configuration of user properties using the native Active Directory tools or other options like PowerShell, etc. is extremely time consuming, tiresome, and error-prone, especially in large and complex windows network. Moreover, an in-depth knowledge of Active Directory and Active Directory management is an essential requirement to accomplish these tasks.
ADManager Plus is a web-based software that allows you to create and manage multiple user accounts in the Active Directory in a single action. Further, using this software, you can also create Exchange mailboxes, new user accounts in Office 365 and also G Suite for all the desired users, right while creating new accounts for them in Active Directory. It allows you to create multiple templates that contain standard user attribute values, which can be applied while creating users in bulk. You can import the user attributes from a single CSV file while creating user accounts, thereby minimizing the time and efforts needed when the native tools are used for Active Directory user provisioning. You can even export users with absolute ease using this tool which doubles up as a Windows permission management software.
This tool also allows delegation of rights to helpdesk technicians or non-administrators to create users. With delegation you will have ample time to focus on critical tasks as you are freed up from the repetitive and trivial tasks. Using reactive user account management, you can even manage multiple attributes of user accounts in just a single step. Further, this feature even allows you to set rules to automatically configure or update certain user attributes while performing user management tasks. Also, with the automated report generation utility, you can manage not just the user accounts but the entire Active Directory proactively and efficiently.
Using ADManager Plus, you can mass modify user attributes, including the Exchange Server (2003/2007/2010/2013) attributes and policies applied, Lync Server/LCS/OCS and Terminal Services attributes. You can try out all the user management and even the reporting features in this software using the trial version which is a free download that provides unlimited access to all features. Some of the common Active Directory management functions, administration and attribute changes that can be performed quickly and consistently include the following:
I would not able to perform my role as Microsoft Sharepoint Portal server administrator if I didn't get to know about ADManager Plus by ManageEngine. A tool to manage Windows server Active Directory.
