The arrangement of real numbers in a rectangular array enclosed in brackets as [] or () is known as a Matrix(Matrices is plural of matrix). Matrix operations are used in electronic physics, computers, budgeting, cost estimation, analysis and experiments. They are also used in cryptography, modern psychology, genetics, industrial management etc. In general an m x n matrix is matrix having m rows and n columns. it can be written as follows:
Order of a Matrix
There may be any number of rows and any number of columns in a matrix. If there are m rows and n columns in matrix A, its order is m x n and it is read as an m x n matrix.
Transpose of a Matrix
The transpose of a given matrix A is formed by interchanging its rows and columns and is denoted by A'.
Symmetric Matrix
A square matrix A is said to be a symmetric matrix if A' = A.
Skew-Symmetric Matrix
A square matrix A is said to be a skew symmetric if A' = – A. all elements in the principal diagonal of a skew symmetric matrix are zeroes.
Addition of Matrix
If A and B are any two given matrices of the same order, then their sum is defined to be a matrix C whose respective elements are the sum of the corresponding elements of the matrices A and B and we write this as C = A + B.
Type of Matrices
Row matrix: A row matrix has only one row but any number of columns.
Column matrix: A column matrix has only one column but any number of rows.
Square matrix: A square matrix has the number of column equal to the number of rows.
Rectangular Matrix: A matrix is said to be a rectangular matrix if the number of rows is not equal to the number of columns.
Diagonal matrix: If in a square matrix has all elements 0 except principal diagonal elements, it is called diagonal matrix.
Scalar Matrix: A diagonal matrix is said to be a scalar matrix if all the elements in its principal diagonal are equal to some non-zero constant.
Zero or Null matrix: If all elements of a matrix are zero, then the matrix is known as zero matrix and denoted by O.
Unit or Identity matrix: If in a square matrix has all elements 0 and each diagonal elements are non-zero, it is called identity matrix and denoted by I.
Equal Matrices: Two matrices are said to be equal if they are of the same order and if their corresponding elements are equal.
Properties of Matrix
- When a matrix is multiplied by a scalar, then each of its element is multiplied by the same scalar.
- If A and B are any two given matrices of the same order, then their sum is defined to be a matrix C whose respective elements are the sum of the corresponding elements of the matrices A and B and we write this as C = A + B.
- For any two matrices A and B of the same order, A + B = B + A. i.e. matrix addition is commutative.
- For any three matrices A, B and C of the same order, A + (B + C) = (A + B) + C i.e., matrix addition is associative.
- Additive identity is a zero matrix, which when added to a given matrix, gives the same given matrix, i.e., A + O = A = O + A.
- If A + B = O, then the matrix B is called the additive inverse of the matrix of A.
- If A and B are two matrices of order m x p and p x n respectively, then their product will be a matrix C of order m x n.
Invertible Matrix
A square matrix of order n is invertible if there exists a square matrix B of the same order such that AB = I = BA, Where I is identify matrix of order n.
Theorems of invertible matrices
- Theorem 1: Every invertible matrix possesses a unique inverse.
- Theorem 2: A square matrix is invertible iff it is non-singular.
Historical Facts!
Matrix is a latin word. Originally matrices are used for solutions of simultaneous linear equations. An important Chinese Text between 300 BC and 200 AD, nine chapters of Mathematical Art(Chiu Chang Suan Shu), give the use of matrix methods to solve simultaneous equations. Carl Friedrich Gauss(1777 – 1855) also gave the method to solve simultaneous equations by matrix method.

Leaving City for Long Island
Census Data Show Marked Growth in Black Population in Suburban Counties
After the birth of their second child, James Leonard, a lawyer, and his wife, Lisa, a teacher, took a look around their cramped Queens house and thought: Long Island.
That the Leonards are black and Long Island is mostly white didn't slow them down.
"We needed more room and a bigger house," said Mr. Leonard, a lifelong New Yorker...

Writing 103: 1-E Calling All Cars! Calling All Cars!
Posted by Nora Quick on Friday, June 7, 2013 Under: Writing 103
Welcome back to the wonderful world of editing. I'll pause so you may groan.
Don't worry, you'll pass
The best writing comes from good editing. Once you've done this process, that sentence will make sense. Think back to a creative writing course you took in high school or college, and think of some of the things you read. Some were great. Some were shit. The truth is, anybody can write, but not everyone can write well. However, if you know how to edit correctly, than yes, you can be shit writer and turn out a good product.
So your main focus this go-round will be having a coherent plot. What's that you say? "Of course it's coherent!"? Take a moment to step back, and think about your father or mother. What comes to mind? The things they say, how they embarrass you, the hopes and dreams of yours they laughed at, etc. Maybe they seem out of touch, or worse, like my father, they know who Li'l Wayne is and it horrifies you. But did you know they were once a dynamic lover? That's how they ended up mating and making you. Perhaps your father could once make a bong out of an apple, or your mother had unnaturally colored hair and once told your grandparents to fuck off. See, if I met your mother or father I would see both sides. You can only see one because you're so close. It's the same with your manuscript.
The plot makes sense to you, you're the god of that universe. You know who did it before the protagonist solved the mystery, and you know all about your characters childhood. For example, I know a secret about the missing woman Mary Beth Anderson from Case Of the Missing Millionaire that you don't. And you never will. Why? because it mullies the plot, explains a lot, but detracts from the flow of the mystery. So how did I know that? Critique readers.
Yes, it's a clue,but no, you're wayyyy off
I hope you have critique readers. They are extremely important to have. If you post on a writing site you can use fan comments, but recruit specific fans for this, or have friends who read often and know about the writing process. Give them your manuscript and ask them to read it. You can ask them to identify any spelling/grammar errors they find, but it's not your main focus. This is:
1: Does the plot make sense?
2: If not, where is it weak? Where is it confusing?
3: How is the pacing? Does it feel too fast, too slow?
4: Questions tailored to genre
The last is your personal subset of questions that often depends on genre. Some common ones are as follows;
Is there anything anachronistic that sticks out?
Does it feel genuine and gritty?
Are the red herrings doing their job, or are they too weak or too distracting?
Are there enough suspects?
Does the real culprit appear often enough throughout to remain in memory?
Romance (General)
Is the chemistry between protagonists palpable?
Is the pacing of sex right for the time period?
Is the male a true Alpha?
Are the protagonists well-rounded and fleshed-out?
Is the language of the sex scenes correct?(Frank for erotic, more euphemistic for traditional)
Is there sufficient description of technology to keep the reader aware this is an alternate world/dimension/time period?
Does the technology play enough of a role in the conflict or plot?
Is there enough description of the culture to keep the reader aware this is an alternate world/time period?
Is there a logical flow to the politics, economics, culture, or technology so the reader is never jarred?
Is it gritty enough the reader remains in an anticipatory mood?
Are there any distracting bird walks that detract from the pacing?
Young Adult / Children's
Is this written in an age appropriate manner?
Does the plot flow in a manner the right age group will follow and remain interested?
Action / Espionage
Is this written like a mystery? (Apply all mystery questions)
Is it believable?
Is there enough description of the settings, people, and technology you can follow along?
Is there humor (there damn well ought to be)?
Is it light and fluffy, but still holds your interest?
Can a female reader easily relate to the protagonist?
Ask them to compare to a standard in the genre. IMHO this is the only chick-lit worth reading
There are many subgenres, but these are the big ones. Westerns, however, just don't sell. I included them because those questions work id your fantasy novel is in a wild west setting, or perhaps your romance may be. If your novel spans two genres, ask all the questions for both genre. If your novel spans three, ask your readers if it seems busy, because it probably is. Make up your own as well!
I usually have specific questions related to my own paranoia. For example, I worry it may read too much like some other work of fiction, or characters may feel too flat, or in the case of my mysteries, it's too bogged in endless red herrings (I write in the noir/hard boiled style which carries a few more red herrings than modern mysteries traditionally). I also worry in my non-erotic writings if I have too much sex, and in my erotic writing if I have too little. Lastly, like most writers, I worry my writing is inane and stupid..you'll worry too. we all do. No harm in asking, just be prepared for an honest answer.
Put these questions onto a form you give your critique readers. Explain carefully what you need, and tell them not to focus too much on spelling & grammar, that edit comes next and you want them to do this in about 2 weeks max. So send off copies to your critique readers, try to get 3. Give them a schedule and use the down time to keep working on researching agents and publishers. Or go get drunk, or better yet, take a peek outside and reacquaint yourself with sunlight and fresh air.
Wait on doing a spelling & grammar edit until you get the critiques back. Wait to do any editing until they are all back. if all three readers had the same issue, you need to change it and fix it. If only one or two had it, discuss it all with them and make a judgment call. Remember to set your ego aside. the best thing to do as a writer is have no ego. Kill it. Kill it with fire. You will never survive as a writer with an ego, there are numerous criticisms and rejections coming your way.
Try to pick critique readers who know the difference between constructive criticism and schadenfreude
Once you have the plot and pacing edits done, it'll be time for the drudgery of spelling and grammar. So another thing to do while you wait for the critiques to be returned is to pull our your grammar books and study up. Don't rely on the computer to know everything, MS Word has a pretty shitty grammar check as you either already know, or will discover.
So keep working my friends, you're getting there. If your goal was to write & publish within 1 year, you're 2/3s of the way there. Check back for the next lesson, and good luck!
I do recommend using your downtime to go outside. otherwise, like all writers, once you're done this is how you'll look

Whitney Gains 15lbs of Pure Womeness
Comedian, wild child, and professional sassy woman Whitney Cummings stopped by this morning to talk to Howard about the differences between kick-ass, right-on women and stupid men (blech!).
Howard noticed that Whitney was less emaciated than she was the last time she stopped by and Whitney was proud of the way she looked. Howard cautioned that he sees her telling everyone how proud she is about her weight-gain, which makes it seem like she might not be proud.
Whitney shrugged it off - she just dated a black guy! Whitney segued from this into how guys tend to get annoyed with women for doing things that are, ultimately, for the guy's benefit. Like wearing high heels or dieting. Whitney said 'I diet so I'll look like the girls you jerk off to when I fall asleep!'
Whitney broke up with her boyfriend Peter Berg, whom she was dating last time she was on the show, but she's dipped her toe in the dating pool plenty since. Chelsea Handler even sneakily set her up with a black guy on the set of Dancing with the Stars! Chelsea asked the black guy to please f*ck her friend Whitney and boy did he!
Chelsea Handler
Speaking of Chelsea, Howard asked Whitney about Chelsea's landmark new deal to bring her talk show to Netflix. Whitney said the best thing for Chelsea is to be happy, that's when she's funniest. Plus, she's taking a year off between her E! show ending and the Netflix show starting up. Howard found that unfathomable.
Whitney is also great friends with singer (and now-legendary Stern Show guest) Sia. Whitney is actually officiating Sia's upcoming wedding and she promises to make it all about her!
Whitney tries very hard to be open sexually. She'll let a guy cum on her if he wants to and she even spent some quality time in the bathtub trying to teach herself to squirt. All she ended up doing was peeing on herself.
She still talks a lot about sex in her act, and journalists keep referring to her as 'edgy'. Though Whitney doesn't understand why sex is still considered edgy. She covers unsightly penises, and pubic hair and where a guy finishes.
Wack packer Hanzi stayed on hold just to ask Whitney one simple question: 'Yo, Whitney, can I eat your p*ssy?' Whitney didn't appreciate him starting with 'Yo' but seemed sort of open to the p*ssy eating. In case she wasn't, Hanzi asked her to put in a good word with Chelsea Handler.
Don't miss Whitney's new Comedy Central Special 'I Love You' and check out her website for all your Whitney Cummings needs.

Importance of Business Communication
In business, reputation and credibility need to be built up in order to get clients' trust and confidence. Having a sense of professionalism will bring a lot to the business, especially in a long term relationship with employees and clients. There is a need to make sure that every business deal is attended to promptly. Business communication encompasses not only communicating with external contacts but also with employees within the organization. This will aid the business in being well-organized and every matter whether it is a problem, an inquiry or a sales letter will be attended to properly and promptly.
It does not mean that only a client's inquiry should be responded promptly but also feedbacks or problems arising inside and outside the business as well. This is done to have a balance within the internal and external factors, especially in relation to dealing with people, whether they are employees or other external contacts.
Types of Business Communication
It is very important to know the type of business communication used in order to know the specific etiquettes and standards to use in a specific situation. Here are some of the communications used in business.
Electronic Communication comprises different modes of communication out from the traditional way. It includes e-mail, fax, teleconferencing and voicemail. This is used for external contacts and for people within the business organization.
Employment Communication is a mode of communication used for employees but specifically for accepting applicants for a job. It includes application letter, follow-up communications, interview and resumes.
Nonverbal Communication is a mode of communication that uses body language and other means of communicating without the use of uttering words. It includes body language, expression, gestures, professional appearance, time or space.
Verbal Communication is a mode of communication that uses the uttering of words in communicating to external contacts and employees. It includes feedback, instructions, presentations, and telephone.
Written Communication is a mode of communication that requires writing in order to communicate. It includes letters, memos, proposals and reports.
It is very important that when engaging into whatever type of business communication every person in the business organization from the top to lower rank should know the basic concepts of business communication, and how to apply them in the daily operation of the business.
Take note that a little mistake in giving out the information because of wrongfully conveying the message in any ways can cause damage to the business and worse can cost millions to the company. A business cannot afford to lose money due to a mistake. As much as possible, precautions should be undertaken to avoid such losing of money due to things like improperly conveying the message. It is advisable that when a person in the business organization is communicating either through a co-employee or a client, knowing what needs to be done is the right ingredient in order to communicate effectively. Success of any business lies in effective communication. The more effective the communication is, the better the results are. Communication is effective when it produces desired action in the reader or audience. Effective communication is essential for the survival and progress of a business concern.
The ability to communicate effectively is an essential quality of a businessman. A person may be intelligent but he may not be able to get his message across to others. Ideas are generally common but the ability to convey then to others is rare.
A successful communicator exercises a good effect on the minds of his readers, employees, supervisors, customers, suppliers, investors and business associates. They form a good impression of the company and the communicator. He builds the goodwill of the...

Hotel Crush: The Jung Hotel, New Orleans
The Jung Hotel, which opened it's doors in the beginning of January could be considered New Orleans' oldest new hotel. To travelers visiting the Big Easy, The Jung may look like nothing more than just another hotel, but those with roots in New Orleans know this building is much more.
Originally opened in 1907, the hotel has seen more than one hundred years of New Orleans history. From it's glowing days as the "it" party hotel during the Roaring Twenties, to its rocky decades under various management throughout the Eighties and Nineties, The Jung has seen it's share of up and downs. In 2015, the property was acquired by the New Orleans Hotel Collection and got a 150 million dollar facelift that has formed it into the luxury accommodation it is today.
Only a few blocks from The French Quarter, The Jung has an ideal location for travelers that want to be in proximity to The French Quarter without the noise and chaos that comes with it. The property consists of residences in addition to 171 hotel rooms for guests. With 50,000 square feet that includes event space, a lobby bar and restaurant, concierge desks, lounging pods and floor-to-ceiling marble, it is sure to reclaim its glory days as the place to be for New Orleans socialites.
Each oversized room comes with a refrigerator, a desk, a huge bathroom with granite countertops, a walk-in shower with two shower heads (close enough to turn on at the same time for the ultimate showering experience, may I add) free wifi, a 48" flat screen television and a doorbell integrated with a "Do Not Disturb" button. While each room is completely new with a fresh modern feel, elements of the hotel's grand past can be seen in the gold, Gatsby-esque elevators and the marble walls in the lobby's sitting areas.
The hotel is open for business, but still undergoing construction to upper residence floors, so the true magnificence of The Jung is yet to be seen. As of now, The Jung Hotel is the new kid on the Canal Street block, so the atmosphere is still quiet with the exception of the occasional ambulance siren, as it is directly located near the Tulane University Medical Center. Right now is the ideal time to enjoy this luxury hotel; the distance is convenient, the atmosphere is gorgeous and the rates are very affordable with rooms well under $200 on select nights.
My final thoughts: I would love the chance to stay at The Jung Hotel again when the restaurant and the property's other bar is completed and in full swing. The main element the hotel was missing was the liveliness that only people can bring to a space. The Jung has only been open for three weeks though, so I am sure those days are near. Overall, I had a nice stay. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, the location was convenient, and I loved the fact that I was probably the first person ever to sleep in the bed in my room.

The bottom is likely to drop out of the national housing boom within the next couple of years, and this downturn will probably be accompanied by an economic recession, according to a University of California, Los Angeles, forecast.
"Absent something of the magnitude of the Vietnam War, we should expect a housing collapse and an attendant recession. Probably late 2005 or 2006, though it is impossible to say when right now," said Edward E. Leamer, director of the UCLA Anderson Forecast.

Take A Look Around Our Site
How Tranquil Havens Evolved
Whilst searching high & low for particular Garden Products to enhance our own backyard, we quickly discovered that it wasn't that easy to find the more unusual or exotic types of items.
- Korean Grass (Zoysia tenuifolia)
- Dwarf Mini Mondo Grass (Ophiopogon Japonicus Nanus or Ophiopogon Japonicus Nana)
- Dichondra (Dichondra repens)
Because of the difficulties that we encountered when trying to source these items, we thought we would see if there was maybe a niche market out there.
After a few sale test runs, we discovered almost immediately that there was indeed a market for our products.
So, after more research and a Certificate 4 Business Course, here we are.
We are here to cater to the ever increasing demand from home proud Aussies for Garden products that are not only Attractive, but are also Low Maintenance, Drought Tolerant and relatively inexpensive.
Too often we visited Nurseries and Exotic Garden retailers only to come away disillusioned by the lack of choice and exorbitant prices.
So have a look around our site and see if any of our products might suit your garden.
Both Zoysia tenuifolia and Ophiopogon Japonicus Nana have many Common Names which has always made it difficult to establish which plant to purchase, until now that is!
Here is a comprehensive list of Common Names for our three products:
Zoysia Tenuifolia
- No Mow Grass
- Minmow Grass
- Petting Grass
- Korean Grass
- Temple Grass
- Velvet Grass
- Mascarene Grass
- Korean Lawngrass

- Snake Grass
Ophiopogon Japonicus Nana
- Dwarf Mondo Grass
- Mini Mondo Grass
- Mondo Grass

News & Updates
This isn't about a debate over NFL players and their protest or how they go about it. This isn't a political football or football wrapped in politics.
This is about honor and respect, pure and simple, for the men and women who have served in our nation's military. Our flag stands for freedom, equality, a great country, and those who serve it.
This Saturday, Nov. 11, is Veterans Day. In Huntsville, with thousands of veterans who enrich our community and the presence of Redstone Arsenal and its myriad operations, one day isn't enough. We celebrate a Veterans Week, and that's the way it should be across the state.
It's a particularly special Veterans Week for us because one of our own, retired U.S. Army Captain Mike Rose, was presented the Medal of Honor last month. Rose, a medic, saved countless lives on a dangerous top-secret mission. Because it was top secret, it was years before the story was revealed, and it was 47 years after his heroic feats before Rose was honored.
The greatest American symbol is our flag. What we've encouraged – challenged, really – is for people to display their red, white and blue all this week. You may have seen the video we did about it.
As I say in the video, our veterans have earned our respect, and our flag deserves to be honored. I believe if you appreciate our country's freedoms, then you stand for our country's symbol. If you agree, then show your support for those who served and for our country and fly your flag through Veterans Day to honor all of them.
Huntsville is hardly the only city in our state with such a strong connection to the military. There are bases all across our state. Many military personnel have recognized that Alabama is a wonderful place to which they can retire and find fulfilling work after life in military service.
What we've seen in Huntsville and everywhere in our state is that many of the most active leaders in business, in government, in non-profit organizations are veterans. Service to others just seems to be ingrained in them. It was part of their DNA while in uniform, and it's in their DNA as private citizens. Day-in and day-out, they are people I always know I can count on.
So, on Veterans Week, please join me in honoring and thanking the veterans among us. Honor them not just for their dedicated service in far-away lands but also right here at home.
And one of the best ways to do that is to show your colors. As important as I believe as it is to salute the flag, flying the flag is the perfect way to salute the veterans.

I've been trying to work out how to engage with my audience on social media to grow my customer base and generate sales.
The problem is, I can't even engage myself. I'm trawling through Facebook and Twitter and seeing the same self absorbed image conscious selfies, holiday snaps of exotic food and inspirational memes that offer little but hope and I just go into lock down.
I am hash-tagging like a pro on Instagram. And boy does it make a difference to followers and response rates! My engagement rate is growing. I know this thanks to Iconosquare. I love statistics. But is it going to turn into sales? Steady on! I've only been doing this a few weeks.
I am reminded though, that these are just surface social media outlets. As soon as I started tagging on Instagram I noticed an influx of spammers – the kind who offer you 300 new followers if you follow back.
Then there are the ones who unfollow you if you don't follow them back after a couple of days. These are not customers. Not every customer gets a return follow from a company they like. It doesn't make sense to.
But thanks to some of the other engagement apps, I've had confirmed to me something I already knew – Facebook is useless as a sales tool. My Facebook page engagement is dead. And it's all down to Facebook wanting you to pay for your airtime. I feel tempted to shut it down but I still think it's important to have a presence even if it's not giving you anything back. It's easy to link other accounts to Facebook pages and not even have to access it though I am told this is a bad thing to get into the habit of doing. Posts should be fresh, not reposts. But I have noticed my page follow list increasing too. Maybe there's a connection. Maybe not.
Finding out how to tag effectively on Instagram and Etsy is really important. A recent crash course in tagging at an event run by the EtsyMcr team at Madlab in Edge St in Manchester's Northern Quarter was very revealing and incredibly useful.
Of course, using the tags on Etsy is one thing. Promoting on sites like Instagram is quite another. You need to be pretty intense, keep at it and do a fair amount of reciprocal activity to keep interest up.
I am sticking at it though because I feel that things are heading in the right direction. I am just waiting for that first sale which results from the extra work!

This page provides information on VRscans.
Page Contents
The VRayScannedMtl material allows the rendering of scanned BRDF material data stored in .vrscans files. These files are produced by Chaos Group's own internal material scanner and accompanying material creator software.
The VRayScannedMtl material requires a separate license to work correctly. Without a license, the material will not show its UI and will render with a watermark, but otherwise it should be able to render the sample scenes below.
The scanned material renders the captured the appearance of an actual physical material sample, that has been scanned with special scanner hardware. The material goes beyond single-point BRDF capture and can faithfully represent the textured appearance of a large number of real-world surfaces using bidirectional texture function (BTF) approximation.
Because the scanned material simply reproduces the way a physical material responds to light, is has no notion of "diffuse" or "reflection" components, "normal" or "bump" maps.
Currently the material can render only opaque surfaces. Also, for the moment except for some general tint control, the material is unmodifiable - i.e. you can't change glossiness, increase reflectivity etc. You can only change the overall tint of the material. In its present form the material is targeted at users that need to match exactly a given real-world sample.
The .vrscan files tend to be quite large as they need to pack a lot of data (they need to describe the BRDF of the material over its entire surface).
For more details on VRscans, please see the VRscans documentation space for information on downloadable sample scenes and Frequently Asked Questions or visit the VRscans.com website.
UI Path: ||Material Editor window|| > Material/Map Browser > Materials > V-Ray > VRayScannedMtl
File – The file name with the data for the scanned material; usually has a .vrscan extension.
Adjust UV tiling to an object – The .vrscan file stores information about the physical size of the scanned sample and by clicking on a point over a given object, the texture tiling is modified so that the texture is with the correct size for the clicked point.
Viewport UV borders – Displays the borders of the material tile in the viewport on the objects that have the material applied. This only works with the DirectX viewports.
Plain materials strategy – Simplifies the shading of the material and may help to reducing tiling artifacts.
None – The full material evaluation is always used. The object must have valid UV coordinates.
Average BRDF – Averages the BRDF and can be used to speed up the rendering for previews. Because texture details are removed, this also removes any tiling artifacts that might arise if the scanned sample does not tile very well. UV coordinates are still needed because most BRDFs are slightly anisotropic.
Average symmetrize BRDF – Averages the BRDF and removes any anisotropy. This mode can be used on objects without proper UV coordinates.
Scramble – Useful to reduce tiling artifacts for isotropic materials with small details like car paint with flakes.
Filter color – A color multiplier for the material sample and can be used to tint the material.
Information – The text field displays some useful information contained in the .vrscan file, like the actual material sample size.
Subdivision – Controls how many reflection rays will be traced for the material. Note: The material does not have a "diffuse" or "reflection" component - everything is considered glossy reflection.
Trace depth – Controls the number of reflection bounces. A value of -1 means that the reflections bounces are controlled by the global V-Ray trace depth in the Global switches rollout of the renderer settings.
Cut-off – A threshold that is used to speed up reflections. If the contribution of reflections falls below this threshold, the reflections are not traced. This is similar to the cut-off threshold of the VRayMtl material.
Glossy as GI – Useful for debugging purposes and is equivalent to the same setting in the VRayMtl material.
Coarse indirect – Simplifies the calculations of the material when it is viewed through GI rays. In that case the Average BRDF method is used to shade the material (see above).
Uniform reflection distribution – When enabled, the material reflections are computed by sampling the hemisphere uniformly. When disabled, importance sampling is used to put more rays in directions where the material contribution is larger. Which method will perform better depends on the scene lighting and the particular material that is used.
Clear coat
Enable – Enables the tracing of a clear coat layer for the material.
Highlights – Enables highlights from point light sources for the coat layer.
IOR – Determines the IOR of the coat layer and from that controls the strength of the reflections. A value of 1.0 does not produce any reflections and disables the coat layer. Higher values produce stronger clear coat reflections. The .vrscan files typically contain the correct value for this parameter and it is set automatically when the file is loaded.
Bump multiplier – The coat layer has a built-in bump map stored into the material sample file. This allows you to control the strength of that bump.
This is a standard 3ds Max rollout used to control how the material is applied to objects.
Material Optimization
Antialiasing Settings
The easiest way to optimize antialiasing is to use the Progressive Image Sampler. This approach can be a little bit slower but it doesn't require complete understanding of the sampling in V-Ray and will work for any scene. The settings to use are:
Sampler type: Progressive
Min Shading Rate: 1
AA filter: Enabled
AA filter type: Lanczos
Size: 2.5
Min subdivs: 1
Max subdivs: 200
Noise threshold: 0.01
Max. render time (min): you will set this value based on the time you want V-Ray to render for
Using the Adaptive image sampler can sometimes produce the same result for slightly faster render times but it requires that you experiment with different settings and have a good understanding of how sampling works inside V-Ray.
A good starting point for high quality rendering is:
Sampler type: Adaptive
Min Shading Rate: 1
AA filter: Enabled
AA filter type: Lanczos
Size: 2.5
Min subdivs: 1
Max subdivs: 33
Threshold: 0.01
For darker images you may need to slightly increase the Min Subdivs up to 4. To further increase the quality, you need to first start by slightly decreasing the Threshold and then increasing the Max subdivs in small steps one after the other.
For a quick render to assess quality use the following settings for the Adaptive Sampler:
Min subdivs: 1
Max subdivs: 11
Threshold: 0.03
Global Illumination
The V-Ray Scanned material is a purely reflective material (it doesn't have a diffuse component), this means that for scenes that are comprised of V-Ray Scanned materials entirely you do not need to enable GI.
If you still want to use GI use the settings below:
Primary Bounce (Primary engine): Brute Force – use the default settings for Brute Force
Secondary Bounce: (Secondary engine) Light Cache
Subdivs: 2000 for simpler exterior scenes and 4000 for interior scenes where light bounces a lot
Sample Size: 0.02
Store Direct Light: Enabled
Use light cache for glossy rays (Use for glossy rays): Enabled
Filter type (Filter): None
Prefilter: Enabled
Prefilter samples: 10
Depth (Bounces): 10
Use retrace threshold (Use for glossy rays): Disabled
Scanned Material Options
The V-Ray Scanned Material options should rarely be adjusted beyond the following values:
Subdivisions: 8
Trace Depth: 5
Cut off: 0.01
Retrace (Don't use GI for rays shorter than): 0
Displacement (Edges Displacement): only enabled when there are close ups of materials that have some bumps
No Prim GI (Don't use GI for primary rays): Enabled

Halloween parties will deliver an incremental £452 more profit than a usual Friday or Saturday night on average, says Strongbow-owner Heineken.
The CarnEvil campaign will run from October 22 to November 5 and includes a competition for pub customers, in which anyone buying a pint of Strongbow Original or Dark Fruit is in with a one in four chance of winning a CarnEvil eye patch, which are provided as part of a larger PoS kit.
There's also prizes up for grabs for pub staff, with the company offering a £2,500 prize for the best dressed pub team.
All you need to do is upload your best Halloween costume photo using #StrongbowHalloween and comment with your pub's name and location.
"Strongbow's eye-catching Halloween activity from over the years has helped get more people through licensees' doors on October 31," said on-trade category and trade marketing director, Jerry Shedden.
"As the second busiest party night of the year, consumers will be planning now for places to socialise with friends and with Strongbow's CarnEvil activations, licensees can be confident in their offering, tapping into the latest trends and data helping their pub or bar stand out from the crowd."

I am humbled and honored to be included in a small part of the film. A while back Set Designer Hank Mann reached out to me and asked if I'd be willing to provide some artwork for a scene in the film. I was very excited about the script and liked the idea of having a virtual gallery frozen in time yet always open so I gladly said yes. I was surprised and thrilled when I found out more about Mark and the cast and knew this was a great decision to participate in a small part of this great film. Later Mark reached out to me and asked if I'd be open to create some artwork to help promote the film. Honored, I jumped on the opportunity and I'm proud the final image ended up the official movie poster below.

For years enthusiasts have expressed their view of the superiority of John Williams' Jaws 2 over his iconic original, but the lack of availability had been a stumbling block to proof. However, Intrada's new special edition is ready to settle the debate once and for all; and the winner is - us. A different type of score to a different type of movie, Jaws 2 is no greater a score than Jaws but is an equal match, of course away from the films in question. The beautiful harps of the main title set it out for a different approach, and it feels expansive without repetition - even 'The Shark Prowls' feels new and scarier, despite being the same old shark theme.
Williams' exceptional talent for themes is present here, with a wonderfully energetic and youthful piece for the sailing teenagers, but the impressive and varied use of the shark theme dominates proceedings here, whether it's hiding in the dense orchestration ('Munching The Helicopter') or taking centre stage ('The Big Jolt'). Cap this with one of the maestro's best end credit pieces and you have an incredible score. Intrada's release sounds stunning, and presents the full score, the original 1978 LP program, and several alternates - great work by Mike Matessino. A digital version was released a few months back but ignore that; this Jaws 2 was supervised by John Williams himself and is the real deal. Worth taking a bite. -CB
Jaws 2 is available now from Intrada

Air hockey is a pair game. Each opponent tries as quickly as possible to get the puck into the goal of the other and prevent it from getting into his own.
Since then, almost nothing has changed in the device and the appearance of the original equipment. The table resembles the usual but with a smooth surface, protective edges and slots on opposite sides, which serve as a gate. Under them is a special hole, through which the puck is again returned to the player's disposal. Before the game starts, each participant receives a bat with a handle, its shape may differ but usually, this accessory (like a washer) is made of plastic.
As for the unique sliding of the puck on the playing field, the developers managed to achieve this effect thanks to the original mechanism. The whole surface is covered with miniature holes, air circulates in this system, friction decreases, and the speed of the game increases. It seems that the washer hovers above the surface – this is an air cushion action.
Air hockey works on the basis of electronics. It controls the compressor, which is responsible for the air injection. The control over the number of clogged washers is provided by an electronic counting device, the result is demonstrated by optical sensors. On commercial-type tables, reliable electric locks are installed to lock the puck inside the table after the game is completed. The excitement of the participants is supported by soundtracking.
However, manufacturers of some models decide to save money. They abandon the traditional air pressure system and are limited to just a perfectly smooth surface, usually plastic. Buy an air hockey of this type can be at times cheaper and then spend less money to repair it. In fact, this is no longer a classic example, acting on the basis of air circulation but the gameplay is similar.
The game is easy and dynamic, attractive for players of any age. Success requires high reaction speed and concentration. Air hockey is an excellent developing game, generating a lot of positive emotions, if, of course, avoiding excitement and dishonesty.

South Korean stocks ended almost flat after a choppy trading session on Friday, with foreigners scooping up tech shares, offsetting a massive selling spree by institutions, analysts said. The Korean won fell against the U.S. dollar.
The benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index inched up 2.07 points, or 0.09 percent, to close at 2,186.95. Trade volume was moderately light at 291 million shares worth 4.85 trillion won ($4.29 billion), with the number of losers outnumbering gainers 517 to 301.
Institutions offloaded a net 300.5 billion won worth of local stocks, while individuals and foreigners were net buyers snatching up 47.1 billion won and 247.3 billion won worth of shares, respectively.
On Thursday (local time), the US stock market rallied as major tech shares surged, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumping 0.84 percent. The S&P 500 increased 1.09 percent, and the Nasdaq Composite Index rose 1.42 percent.
After opening higher, the Seoul index fluctuated between negative and positive terrain before closing almost unchanged.
"The KOSPI started strong but closed almost flat due to massive selling by institutions," said Lee Young-gon, a researcher from Hana Financial Investment Co., adding that foreigners scooped up chip shares but that buying was limited by the wait-and-see stance taken by investors amid uncertainties both at home and abroad.
Large caps on the KOSPI had mixed fortunes.
Tech shares ended higher, with top cap Samsung Electronics ending at 46,550 won, up 1.53 percent from the previous session's close, to continue a four-day winning streak. Global chipmaker SK hynix added 0.26 percent to reach 76,100 won.
Mobile carriers ended mixed, with No. 1 player SK Telecom increasing 1 percent to 252,000 won and second-largest carrier KT unchanged at 27,950 won. LG Uplus, the smallest of the nation's carriers, was up 2.03 percent to 15,050 won.
Auto stocks also ended mixed, with leading automaker Hyundai Motor down 0.8 percent to 123,500 won. Its sister company Kia Motors increased 0.88 percent to end at 34,500 won, and auto parts maker Hyundai Mobis was up 0.47 percent to 214,500 won.
Earlier in the day, shareholders of Hyundai Motor and Hyundai Mobis backed the dividend plans of the two automotive firms and their proposed directors but rejected proposals by Elliott Management.
The local currency closed at 1,130.1 won against the greenback, down 2.4 won from the previous session's close.
Bond prices, which move inversely to yields, ended mixed. The yield on three-year Treasurys added 0.7 basis point to reach 1.800 percent, and the return on benchmark five-year government bonds shed 0.2 basis point to 1.827 percent. (Yonhap)

Farming Stinks! (And so do I.)
Things on the farm are finally bursting from the soils and germination mixes, just as the Spring blossoms are bursting from their respective trees, shrubs and wildflower stems. Our lives have been non-stop action since we moved our little family onto the plot and I have scarcely had a moment to reflect on it all.
We've had our Farmer's Market Meetings and made our commitments. Now it is time to convince our growing vegetation to fruit and prosper. We have done our best to think only positive thoughts, as we feel this will benefit and carry our little seedlings into this world. This has been more of a feat than it seems. As human beings we have evolved thinking cynically about things in the world. It is a defense mechanism. We don't trust uncertainty or people because a lack of trust can prevent danger. I've done my best to go against the grain of my mental lumber. The only way to do this, really, is to adopt a "go with the flow" attitude which is exceedingly difficult when the fate of so much of your livelihood is out of your personal control. When something happens on the farm (something doesn't germinate, something gets eaten, there is persistent rain for 200 years, one of the dogs runs through a newly seeded field to chase a wandering and unsuspecting chicken) we have to clear our minds of the newly formed obstacles and think of ways the problem will sort itself out or appreciate the way these little happenings alter the course of our journey.
We've made some additions to our family, our four Rhode Island Reds are now older sisters to our newest batch of day old chicks. Maybe the new babies will make them jealous and finally convince them to start laying eggs.
We have a Buff Orpington, Black Australorp, Ameraucana, and a Golden Laced Wyandotte. These little mamas along with their older sisters will be our family birds. Elliot being the cook that he is will go through a lot of eggs during the week if they are available (hopefully to make me all the ice cream and pimento cheese sandwiches I can eat.) Our chickens will live (as the Rhode Island Reds already do) in chicken tractors and be moved across our dormant "No Till" fields at certain times so that we can make the most of their nutritious, nitrogen filled poop.
Speaking of poop, that has been the main word to describe my activities this week. Whether I am cleaning poop from a coop, spreading grass fed cow poop over a field, or mucking out a goat dairy stall and loading the poop filled hay onto a truck, my life has been very poop centered. One of the most natural ways to reestablish a nutrient base to a soil is animal waste. It is a cyclic system, where plants create energy from the sun and steal the nutrients they need to thrive from the soil. Animals eat the energy and some of the nutrients from the plants and the waste material from this activity comes out the other end in a nutrient dense form. On a pasture, this cycle can be seen very readily. As the cows move across a field, eating the vegetation as they go, they are also fertilizing the land with their waste. As long as they are moved often enough (and there are many other factors that determine how often they should move) the grass stays very green and grows relatively quickly. Because we don't want animals walking on our vegetables or browsing their fruiting bodies and vegetables, fruits, and herbs feed on nutrients differently, we bring manure in manually from these animal sources and spread them on our fields.
Each animal produces a different sort of manure due to their specific digestive systems which have evolved around the food they eat. We typically classify the manures in two different categories, Hot and Cold. A Hot manure is a manure that has a form of Nitrogen in it that is readily accessible to plants. You would not want to apply a Hot manure directly to a soil and put plants into it immediately, because the Nitrogen would be too available and would "burn" the plants. A cold manure is poop that has a form of nitrogen that is not easily accessible to the plants. It either has less of the nutrient, or it is in a form that takes time to break down. These manures can be applied directly and can begin fertilizing your plants and soil. Some Hot manures are cow and chicken, which need to be aged before applied to the field (or added to a composting system.) We got our grass fed cow poop long before we intended to apply it to our fields and our chickens forage over and deposit their goods on fields not in use. The goat poop we have been picking up, because it is cold, will be applied to fields directly where we intend on planting melons (and rabbit manure works in the same way.)
Where there is good poop to be found, you will probably find me moving it. The easiest way to get healthy, productive vegetation is to provide a nutrient rich, diverse soil. More on that later..
If I see you soon, sorry for the smell!

Neville Copperthwaite, Lyme Bay Fisheries and Conservation Reserve
It was Percy Shelley who asked 'If winter comes, can spring be far behind?' That was way back in 1820 but I reckon the fishermen of West Bay will be still pondering on that today, particularly with the January gales to look forward to. But hey-ho, they are a hardy breed and while the public demand fish on their plate, fishermen will go to sea to fetch it in.
One of these fishermen is Aubrey Banfield. Aubrey's boat, Delta Barbara, can be seen moored alongside the quay in rough weather but any lull in the winter storms and Aubrey will be off to sea to make the most of the opportunity. This is called a 'weather window' and there are precious few of them during the winter months. There is an art to using these windows; the weather forecast must be scrutinised days beforehand. The tides must come into the equation – will it coincide with strong spring tides which will result in bigger waves? – and local knowledge of the sea acquired from years of experience is invaluable and will be added to the mix before Aubrey makes the decision to leave port.
The consequences of getting this wrong can be serious; there are few worse places to be caught at sea in a howling storm than within Lyme Bay. The shoreline of the Bay forms a natural semi-circular net from Beer Head to Portland Bill, West Bay being located betwixt the two. With nowhere for a boat to run in a westerly gale except toward the shore, a fisherman's predicament can quickly become precarious in worsening conditions.
It was calm on the day I spoke to Aubrey. I caught him just as he was about to shove off, much to his annoyance, and I quizzed him about his plans for the day. He had nets aboard and was going to lay them overnight to fish for skate. Skate is a generic term for Rays. Aubrey might catch Blond Rays or the more common Thornback Rays or perhaps the rarer Undulate Ray. But by the time they reach the fishmongers slab, you will buy them as Skate. Aubrey also uses a rod and line for cod and pollack which are abundant at this time of year.
Normally, crab and lobster pots would also be deployed but 2017 was an unusually bad year for crab so Aubrey has brought his pots ashore. He thinks the abundance of predatory cuttlefish earlier in the year has been the cause of the downturn in crab landings although some scientists believe global warming could be at fault; the warmer local waters driving the crab populations further north into the Irish and North Seas. The jury is still out on that conundrum so Aubrey might try laying his crab pots again in the spring – watch this space!
In order for everyone to get along and make a living, there is an unspoken camaraderie between the fourteen fishermen of West Bay. It is recognised that if everyone fished for the same species, this would become unsustainable. For instance, whilst Aubrey is fishing for Skate, others will be targeting Sole, Plaice or Turbot.
Others fish for shellfish such as John Worswick, who is a scallop diver. You can't miss his boat; it's the bright yellow one called Clear Horizon. Unfortunately, January is not a kind month to John. Scallop-diving requires clear water to enable good vision deep down on the seabed and a two day gale can result in a week of poor vision underwater. Needless to say, John's summer holidays tend to be taken in January, usually somewhere near the Equator!
In the main though, fishermen are a resilient lot who have learnt to bend with the wind. Bad weather brings with it the opportunity to repair boats ashore. This month the harbour quay is full of boats propped-up on chocks, variously being sanded and painted, engines overhauled. The hustle and bustle of summer holidaymakers has been replaced with the sound of drills, hammers and grinders as fishermen prepare their craft for the coming season. The fishing-gear storage racks are full to overflowing with crab pots, lobster pots, whelk pots, cuttlefish traps and nets. All will be renovated and refurbished in readiness for the coming years' service. Indeed, the clamour of a working harbour such as West Bay is one to be cherished; many harbours are being gentrified, turned into soulless yachting marinas devoid of fishermen. So I say well done West Bay for keeping your identity and for keeping a safe haven for our fishermen.

Are Vegans Really Missing Nutrients?
Here is something that has always intrigued me. A claim that, just because you eat a Vegan style diet, you aren't getting enough of the right types of nutrients. And since we are around the time of the year that focuses on us eating lots of food, why not just leave this right here?
Having a background in personal training, I wasn't ever sure that I was completely sold on this. Now I will state that I do not have a background in nutrition, but being a personal trainer does require some knowledge of the topic. Trainers do often provide meal plans for their clients as well.
So naturally when curiosity peaks, I did some research on the topic to share with you guys. Selfishly I also wanted to ensure that I was incorporating anything my body may have been missing.
Just so we understand each other, when I speak of vegan eating habits, I am referring to the eating of a plant based diet only. In case you are wondering what is the difference between being vegan and vegetarian, vegetarians still consume dairy and eggs.
So now that we have the cleared up, on with the research findings!
The following nutrients are claimed to be missing from the vegan diet:
Vitamin B12
One of the eight B vitamins. Also called cobalamin, are micro-organisms that have a key role in the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system via synthesis of myelin, and the formation of red blood cells.
Essential for healthy bone growth and development, muscle contraction, heart action, and normal blood clotting.
The mineral that is essential for transportation of oxygen throughout the body via hemoglobin in red blood cells
An essential trace element for its physiological role such as a cofactor of many enzymes
Further detail - enzymes are biological molecule that speed up the rate of virtually all chemical reactions in cells
Let's take a look at each one individually.
Vitamin B12 can also be found in many soy and rice beverages. Also, soy based meat products are often fortified with it. The best way to prevent the under consumption of this vitamin is to eat fortified foods two to three times daily or consume enough supplementation to offset. Either one daily, of at least 10 micrograms, or one weekly, of at least 2000 micrograms.
Calcium is probably one of the easiest things to supplement for, majorly because this is something that both vegans and non-vegans consume with the same food. I would almost argue that this is probably one of the things thrown out by major food corporations to fight against a lifestyle that doesn't include their products. Foods that are high in calcium can include kale, okra, spring greens, dried figs, almonds, and chia seeds.
Iron is another assumed "missing" product of the vegan diet. While I certainly fail to see the correlation that this will be missing if you are a vegan, some may argue otherwise. If you're looking to add more Iron into your diet, look to consume foods such as lentils, chick peas, beans, cashews, pumpkin seeds, kale, raisins, quinoa, and fortified cereals.
Zinc is pretty much found in anything that Iron is found in, with the exception of some wholemeal breads. So yet again, we are failing to see any correlation of this missing from a vegan diet.
Now cooking vegan style foods is another great topic, but we will save that for a later post!
I hope this helps provide a little more clarity on why it isn't truly difficult to consume a vegan diet. As always, thanks for tuning in, and that is your Daily Dose of Dapperness!

We are so thankful that God has allowed us the opportunity to become photographers. There is something special about looking through the lens, focusing on an object, scene, person, or event and capturing that moment.
As we have progressed, getting closer to our subjects has helped us see the details of God's handiwork. Instead of shooting a field of flowers, we capture a single blossom, then closer still by following the bee or the hummingbird as it feasted on the nectar from that blossom.
In sports, it's getting closer to the athlete to feel the intensity of the play, or the concentration of a batter on the next pitch.
The same holds true as we center on Jesus and what He did for us on the cross. The closer we get to Him, the more clearly we see and understand HIM.
May our photography business be a Spirit-filled labor of love for His honor and glory. Thank you, God for the opportunity to create artistic sports action illustrations that proclaim the beauty and awesomeness of Your creation.
God Bless You All,
Don & Rita
