Hindi-centric Automated Computer Translation of Indian Languages (Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu ...) TAMIL TRIBUNE, November 2016 (ID. 2016-11-01)

English-to-Telugu versus English-to-Hindi-to-Telugu 5. Quality of Computer Translations Degraded by this Multi-Step Approach 6. Do Not Centralize all Translations through Hindi/Sanskrit 7. Oppose the Meta-Language Approach ABBREVIATIONS ISO - International Standardization Organization (International Organization for Standardization) TIFAC - Technology Information, Forecasting and Assessment Council [Author is from Tamil Nadu and so Tamil language is used as an example but the conclusions of this article are applicable to some other Indian languages too.] EXECUTIVE SUMMARYAn Indian government affiliated organization, TIFAC, had suggested that automated computer translation of all Indian languages from English go through a meta-language (Hindi or Sanskrit?). This Hindi-centric approach should be opposed because all Indian languages would forever become dependent on Hindi and the quality of translations would also suffer. 1. IntroductionIndian language localization community (those involved in creating Internet content in local languages like Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Marathi, Kannada, Bengali ...) met in New Delhi (India) on September 24-25, 2016. A statement by the executive director of TIFAC, Dr. Prabhat Ranjan, raised concern in this writer. He said, "Our team found English to Hindi translation easier when documents are first translated into another Indian language". Ranjan went on to suggest the idea of agreeing on a meta language to ease the translation process. This suggestion is nothing but a sinister plan to either Hindi-fy or Sanskrit-ise the process of translating English texts to Indian languages. The meta language he flouted would either be Hindi or Sanskrit. I have no doubt about it. TIFAC is an autonomous body under Department of Science and Technology of Government of India. Indian government efforts to establish Hindi/Sanskrit as a super-language over all other Indian languages is no secret. Indian government Home Minister Rajnath Singh said that Sanskrit is the mother of all Indian languages and he considers Hindi as the elder sister of all regional languages because it is closer to Hindi (Hindustan Times; September 16, 2015). This statement may be true for SOME Indian languages but false for others, for example, Tamil. One should not bunch linguistically unrelated languages into a single family. This effort to establish Hindi/Sanskrit as a meta language through which all automated computer translations flow should be opposed, and international standardization bodies like ISO should not accept it. These bodies should not become unwitting tools in the hands of the Indian government or other vested interests. 2. A Few Questions to TIFACSummary of Dr. Prabhat Ranjan's speech says, "Our team found English to Hindi translation easier when documents are first translated into another Indian language". What was that "another Indian language"? Was it Sanskrit or some other Indo-Aryan language? It would not be a surprise if that "another Indian language" was Sanskrit or another Indo-Aryan language. Not all Indian languages are related to Sanskrit/Hindi. His conclusion would not hold for those languages. Tamil, for one, has very little in common with Sanskrit/Hindi. Professor George L. Hart of University of California, Berkeley, United States of America (USA) said, "Tamil arose as an entirely independent tradition, with almost no influence from Sanskrit or other languages" [Reference 1]. He says. "Tamil language's separate identity and character have been cultivated and preserved from its beginnings to the present" [Reference 2]. Just because a small percentage words are common between Sanskrit and Tamil, neither may be concluded as derived from the other. There are so many English words used in Tamil these days; it does not mean Tamil is derived from English. 3. There is no Language Family Called "Indian Languages" (from Linguistic Perspective)There is no language family or language group called "Indian Languages" from the perspective of linguistics. Indian languages is a political marker or geographic marker. The two main language families in India (or South asia) are Indo-Aryan and Dravidian. the Indo-Aryan languages are spoken by about 75% of Indians and the Dravidian languages spoken by about 20%. Hindi and Sanskrit and a number of other languages belong to the former, and Tamil, Telugu, Kannada. Malayalam and some other languages belong to the latter.So Dr. Ranjan's suggestion of translating English to Indian languages through Sanskrit/Hindi (or any "Indian meta language") is without merit. It has no scientific rationale. Using data, if any exists, of translating English to an Indo-Aryan language through Hindi/Sanskrit to justify translating English to Tamil through Hindi/Sanskrit is voodoo science, voodoo-linguistics. It is unacceptable. 4. English-to-Tamil versus English-to-Hindi-to-TamilFor the sake of argument let us say than Hindi-to-Tamil automated computer translation is cheaper than English-to-Tamil translation. Is English-to-Hindi-to-Tamil translation cheaper than English-to-Tamil? I doubt it. Such a scenario should be studied and established for each and every Indian language--be it Telugu or Malayalam or Kannada or Telugu or Bengali or Oriya or Manipuri. We cannot accept this meta language suggestion based on undemonstrated hypotheses. 5. Quality of Computer Translations Degraded by this Multi-Step ApproachIt is an established fact that quality is degraded during automated computer translations. If one translates a text from English to Russian and then translate back the translated Russian text to English, it would not be the same as the original English text. The same would happen in the proposed meta language three step approach. A direct translation would be truer to the original text than a indirect three step approach proposed by TIFAC executive director Dr, Ranjan. That is, a Tamil translation directly from English would be closer to the original English text than first translating English to Hindi and then Hindi to Tamil. So Hindi would end up with higher quality translations and the other Indian languages like Marathi, Oriya, Bengali, Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu would end up with lesser quality translations. We cannot allow such a systematic two-tier approach, a higher level of translation for Hindi/Sanskrit and a lower level of translation for the other languages. 6. Do Not Centralize all Translations through Hindi/SanskritThe unspecified meta-language in Dr. Ranjan's proposal is nothing but a Trojan horse hiding Hindi/Sanskrit. The attempt to make all Indian languages depend on Hindi/Sanskrit for their automated computer translations should be of no surprise. Dr. Ranjan's proposal is a charade to make Hindi the center of all translations and other Indian languages the feeder or secondary languages dependent on Hindi. "All roads lead to Rome" during the Imperial Roman Empire. Indian government funded TIFAC wants all translations pass through Hindi. It is unacceptable. 7. Oppose the Meta-Language ApproachWe explained in the preceding sections how centralizing translations through Sanskrit/Hindi would be detrimental to Indian languages. Politicians, scholars and the public should oppose this approach. Tamil scholars and computer specialists active in automated computer translation of Indian languages should contact the Unicode standards organizations and request them to contact not only the Indian government but also the state governments on language related matters. India is a multi-lingual country. States were reorganized on language basis in the 1950s so that the major languages have a state where each major language can flourish. State governments are there to nurture and protect them. So it is appropriate that recommendations on languages come from the states, directly or through the Indian central government.

Nepotism? Lack of professionalism more like
At a conference in New Delhi last year, Chris Hughes, one of the co-founders of Facebook, was describing a world order before the information age, but he could have been talking of the BCCI. He said: "We used to live in a world where we had a pyramid ... the most important people were those on the top, who would just talk to a few different individuals and make a decision where everyone else was affected." The world today, Hughes went on to say, works not merely with pyramids but networks. Indian cricket still operates in pyramid mode. Pity about the network of news media around it.
It has been more than a week since the BCCI released names of the Indian team for the Emerging Players tournament in Australia next month. The EPs squad initially slipped under the radar as it was unveiled along with the Indian team for the much-anticipated tour of England. The sphinx-like announcement of "Virender Sehwag will join the team a fortnight late" invited a round of ruckus and faulty theories. (What's his injury status? Is he not fit? Is he fit? Will he play in the first Test? Or is he sorting out his son's school admission?)
Thirty-six hours after the EP squad was released came an alert about its inclusion of Srikkanth Anirudha, who had had an average first-class season in 2010-2011. Chairman of selectors Krishnamachari Srikkanth, who is Anirudha's father, said the selection had been arrived at with "consensus", and BCCI secretary N Srinivasan told reporters he did not talk about selection matters.
One of the other four selectors said it was Srikkanth who had brought up his son's name. Two of the remaining three defended Anirudha's selection and denied allegations the rest of them had succumbed to paternal pressure. His selection, they said, had been talked about in their meetings, where he was looked at as a potential limited-overs candidate based on his IPL and Champions League Twenty20 performances rather than first-class form.
What was missing from the discussion, it was discovered later, was a basic piece of information: what sort of players was the BCCI hoping would emerge from the EPT? Some selectors at least believed the EPT team should have limited-overs specialists, when in fact in late May it was announced that the tournament format would be changed into a round robin of three-day matches. A Cricket Australia press release states that "the format changes have the tick of approval from the competing nations", naming India, New Zealand and South Africa. An end-July T20 tournament in Malaysia featuring the EPT squads and acting as a pre-cursor to the event in Australia has been cancelled.
None of what transpired is Anirudha's fault at all. He must be a somewhat unhappy and conflicted young man. He knows that whenever his calibre as a cricketer comes under scrutiny, being a son of a famous father (let alone of the chairman of selectors) can be the most miserable of detriments. His selection is not as much a motif of alleged nepotism but more one of a lack of professionalism and transparency. One that shows the game's governors in India believe they are its rulers. All right, its pharaohs.
Srikkanth's position as selection chief required that he make himself available to talk about both squads; as much about Sehwag as about Anirudha's selection for the EPT. He would have been better off answering questions. About whether the EPs were not really an India A team but included those still at the A-minus level. About whether he had left the room or put his phone on silent when his son was being discussed. The selectors defending the selection say Anirudha was picked on merit. Surely their chief can sit in front of cameras and mikes, which he usually does not dislike, and argue their case. Or put out a lucid statement. Instead, with the BCCI quietly slotting Anirudha in (under his TNCA registered name of S Anirudha) and hoping no one would notice, they have invited suspicion and been unfair to their player.
No one minds a selectorial punt based on a mix of instinct and logic. When selectors' hunches work, they are applauded. When a team is announced with skeletal information, like it is a need-to-know basis document, an army of rats is smelt. This is secret-keeping, as if there is something to hide.
Actually there is: the selectors were picking a team that could have played in last year's EPT. The goof-up regarding the EPT format is particularly rich, as Srikkanth's panel is the first-ever fully paid BCCI selection committee, starting in 2008, with their salaries being upped from Rs 25 lakhs per annum to Rs 40 lakhs in December 2009. The move was intended to make the selectors "accountable".
A selection panel's accountability usually depends on how the team they pick do on the field. The World Cup victory may have made this panel somewhat bulletproof. Yet if players are judged by every series, so must their bulletproof selectors. In this case, even before the first ball was bowled in the tournament they picked a team for, the panel committed more than one error.
At the very least, when discussions opened, no one had done his homework. The EPT was a tournament where long-form performers had to be considered this year, but the format change was not red-flagged. At worst, some knew what the tournament format was about and didn't bother to tell their colleagues when names began to float around over the phone lines.
The selector who alleged that Srikkanth had brought up his son's name certainly didn't mention the change in format either. It was a strong-enough case to free up more than just Anirudha's slot in that team. Other than fire a stink bomb afterwards, that selector wasn't doing his job either.
The pharaohs loved their pyramids because it gave them a notional sense of their grandeur. The BCCI likes its silences for the same reason. We know what pyramids really are, though. Burial chambers.

@Zahir Aslam, its more about transparency in the process. Where has it been indicated that Srikkanth walked away from the meeting, instead he himself brought up his son's name. Now based on your logic, every selector can put forward their sons for selection and if they work out - great if not - hard luck and a decision gone bad for selectors. Are we talking about Bollywood or Indian cricket here? Are we going back to dynasty era where a cricketers son has to be a cricketer - no matter how bad he is? Doesn't India have congress for this? Whats wrong with merit based system? Now that we are on the topic, has it ever been considered to have quota system like India has for education?

Is it practical to expect Sehwag to walk straight from his shoulder surgery into test match on English pitch, if he ever does? That is a bigger question for the Indian team Selectors. Indian squad needs a backup opener even if Mukund & Gambhir will open the innings in the Lords Test.If either of these guys is injured, panic sets in and they try to get someone in the eleventh hour. Till Sehwag joins the team, Indian Selectors must think ahead of a third opener with the team.Alternative choice would be for Dravid to open with Gambhir, 3. Laxman 4. Tendulkar 5. Dhoni 6. Yuvraj 7. Raina or Mishra 8. Harbhajan + 3 pacemen.Even If Mukund opens with Gambhir, Dravid may come in within first 5 overs. So this is an alternate option if an experienced opener is not sent. Team selection & position players are critical which Indians always overlook.India should have won the thrid testin WI by an innings had Mishra played. Now Mishra may be essential to stop Trott,KP, Cook & Bell going rampant.

Another great article from Sharda. Good to see someone questioning the selectors. I would like to put forward the case of M Vijay and would like to ask what has been the basis of selection for this player to be in the indian test side. If you look at his record over the past few years it has been less than ordinary. He has failed time and again but strangely finds his way in the team. Why he was given so many chances, another player picked by K Srikkanth. On the other hand talented player like Virat Kohli is left out after just one series, what kind of signal it will send to him. Take the selection of Vinay Kumar, he is slow medium at best, gets hammered all over the place even by tailenders, never looks like taking wickets, never looks like he can surprise a batsman, still gets the nod. On the other hand Umesh Yadav, who had pace and stamina, and had the surprise element, is sidelined after one series. We should be nurturing players like Umesh to come good and not players like Vinay.
Nampally on July 13, 2011, 20:30 GMT
The case of selection of Srikanth's son is clearly "Catch 22" situation. It is quite likely, he is fully deserving of a place in the side but his Dad is afraid to select him.Hence the hesitation. But the case of Sehwag's joining the team late is rather strange.He should be with the team unless he is undergoing special medical treatment. But until he can resume his duties there should be an opening bat available.Karthick or Utappa may have been good choices. But neither are named. That leaves the team with Mukund to open the innings with Gambhir with no other choice.Mukund had only the experience of WI series as a test opener. Why not go with experienced opener because a good opening stand is critical. This I consider as a serious judgement lapse by the Selectors.Mukund will be like a scrificial lamb facing Tremlett, Anderson, & Co on green fast England pitches. Why is the Selection committee so myopic as to risk losing the confidence of a youngster with such blind move?

let TN win a ranji trophy and then say u r the best in indian cricket win a IPL (without dhoni who is not a tamil nadu player ) and DD dont have gambhir ,kholi, i sharma ,mishra,nehra so ipl is not the base for selection
vattettan on July 13, 2011, 7:25 GMT
@Shriram Nagarajan: I wasn't saying Vijay doesn't have technique but was not a revelation at least yet. Especially you can't compare him with the likes of Gambhir, Sehwag, Kohli. About his technique, at least he doesn't seem to be using it in the recent past. Fielding better than Nehra or Munaf doesn't make Ashwin a good fielder. Especially given the factor he is of the same age group as Kohli, Raina, Rohit, etc. I have watched enough cricket to see how good his fielding is, which definitely not even the current Indian standard, at least not yet. Again, I would be happy to see these guys improving and being a permanent part of the team given they are young. But currently they are no way certainties for Indian team unlike the Delhi players our fellow commenter was comparing them with.
matt2U on July 13, 2011, 5:49 GMT
Brings to mind Ravi Shastri's comment to a journalist , who questioned him about the rumours that it was Sunny Gavaskar (the then captain) who recommended and pushed him for selection and was Sunny his godfather? . Ravi replied " you may have a Godfather or god father's grandfather helping you, but once you get that chance you have to prove your selection and ONLY the very talented can survive there in the middle. So let Anirudh prove his selection to the country and also to his father, else he will get sidelined automatically . The system works that way .
Meety on July 13, 2011, 2:28 GMT
@ Jim1207 - read my comment before you reply. I said there IS a lack of transparancy. Doesn't matter much when a World Cup has been won & there is a stable well performing national side. However, THE ARTICLE CLEARLY shows that more transparancy is required AND that there was conflicting statements coming from the selectors - which I said was LIKE what was happening at Cric Oz! Most of the other 90 comments indicate some degree of confusion as to some selections. Transparancy HAS to be paramount when a father is selecting a son! I tended to think Rohan Gavaskar got a lot further than what his talent relatively deserved. I wonder why? Plenty of Indians have commented about regional bias as well. Anyways as I said - not a big deal when you're winning, but when you start to lose - that's another matter! Just ask Andrew Hilditch!
dummy4fb on July 12, 2011, 18:13 GMT
Paul Valthaty should have been picked instead of Anirudha.
SBUdhaya on July 12, 2011, 17:30 GMT
When India is the world champions in one day and no.1 in tests,I dont know why people crib about selection committee. I dont want to comment about anirudha selection, but TN consistently makes the semifinals of ranji trophy and one day tournament..so it is definitely one of the top 4 teams in India..I wouldn't worry about the basis of selection if india manages to win at the end of the day..lets leave it to the selectors and do our job properly..

tahoe snow (tree story #95)
Sunny, clear, warm, snow on the ground but no jackets required. Decided to take a day trip up to Tahoe - try to get a bit of snow in before it's all gone. So little has fallen this year, there's only about sixty percent of normal snow pack. And now it's forecast to be quite warm this next full week. Highs in the valley are supposed to be nearly eighty today - Tahoe is predicted to be low sixty's - certainly feels spring like. We've brought all our cold weather gear - all we really need are boots for tromping in the snow...
Just north of McKinney Bay - I have to climb up on top of the snow drift - occasionally stepping into knee deep snow - coming back toward the car I see the snow comes nearly to the edge of the lake. Getting there I step through a few more times, a little worried that I could catch my leg between rocks along the shoreline -

Okay, here is a bit of a departure from my normal reviews. This is an iOS app for both the iPhone and iPod. I haven't done a review like this before so hopefully someone finds it helpful.
{vimeo width="700" height="390"}25745170{/vimeo}
About two weeks ago the program creator, Kevin, emailed me and asked me to review his latest creation. It is a nixie clock app and the reason that I really like this one is his attention to detail. Below is his description:
From Kevin:
The graphics used for the clock were entirely hand-designed by myself in 3D. The tubes are a mix of features from a National NL-5025 and a RFT Z5660M with a whole bunch of inspiration from just about every other nixie tube I could get good reference images on. Every single component required to create a physically viable nixie tube is present and proper mechanically- the tubes are even accurately wired up, the cathodes are insulated from each other and the anode, etc. There is no reason why they wouldn't work if they were real (part of the reason why I created Numatron 2 was to see just how accurate I could make everything).
Likewise, the lighting effects required a fair bit of research into gas discharge tubes and the theory behind them. Most of my research eventually made its way into a set of 3D shaders that I used to create (what I believe to be) the first accurate 3D simulation of a volumetric discharge glow ever created.
From start to finish, the project took about 3 months. I refused to release the application until all of my (rather excessive) expectations were met. It wasn't good enough to "look like" a nixie tube. Numatron 2 had to be instantly recognizable as a nixie clock to anyone who was previously familiar with them, and in that regard, I believe I succeeded.
We'll just this out of the way right now: this thing is big. It's impressive. It commands attention in a room. If you thought your IN-18 clock was large, you haven't seen this guy.
This clock is the combined work of Carl Ott and Michael Barile. It is sold as both a kit and fully assembled. Additionally, there is an optional acrylic cover that can be purchased to cover the tubes. Please note that tubes are not included with this device. I can't blame them; they are difficult to find but they do pop up on eBay once and a while. If you have a stack sitting around, this clock is for you.
{vimeo width="700" height="390"}25328823{/vimeo}
Carl Ott designed the boards as well as the firmware for this clock. He did a great job designing it to be modular; the clock comes in 5 pieces, 1 power supply, 1 CPU, 3 display boards (each one holding 2 tubes).
The PCB itself is a nice black board with the substantial portion of the components being surface-mount. In fact, lost of the circuitry is hidden on the underside of the board which gives the device a nice clean look.
The power is supplied by a Taylor Electronics 45mA, 180V DC 1264 HVPS-H design. It is pretty cool; the device is about the size of a large postage stamp and it provide more than enough power to run the 6x B7971's.
The CPU is an ATMEGA 168-20AU and there is a programming connector on the top of the CPU board. As new versions of the firmware are released, you will be able to use this interface to update the (already great) software.
The time is kept using a MAXIM RTC DS3232. It is a temperature controlled oscillator with an integrated real time clock. This device features an accuracy of +/- 2ppm in normal operating temperature ranges (or about 2 x 10^-6 accuracy).
The clock allows you to set two brightness levels, appropriately named DIM and BRIGHT. Each value is set independently (0-255) and the clock can automatically switch between these based on the ambient light in the room.
On the CPU board, to the right of the battery is what looks like a clear LED. This is a photo sensor that the clock uses to gauge the ambient light in the room. You can read the value of this via the menu (0-255) and use it to determine at what point you want the display to go dim or bright.
Once you have a level set that you like (mine is 200), you can set the threshold in the software. So, when the ambient brightness is at 200 or higher, it switches my tubes to BRIGHT. When it is less than 200, it sets them to DIM.
In addition to being a cool feature, this helps you prolong the life of the tubes. By keeping the displays dim, you can prolong the life of these already hard-to-find tubes.
This clock has lots of built in fonts and some are defiantly more legible than others. The fonts only are used when changing the time; they do not apply to the menu items. The reason that it is setup this way is to prevent a user from selecting a hard-to-read font and then not being able to read the menu items. Be sure to watch the end of the video to see the font demonstration.
The menu on this device is awesome. All of the user input is done via the rotary encoder.
Most importantly: setting the time is easy. If the user briefly pushes on the knob, he is presented with the option to set the time. Simply turning the knob adjusts the highlighted value and pressing the knob in advances to the next option HH->MM->SS.
If the user long-presses the knob, they are taken to the menu. Each menu item is displayed, in text, one at a time as the user rotates the knob. Pressing the knob enters that particular sub menu. This may sound a little confusing but it is very intuitive in person. Be sure to watch the end of the video to see the menu options on display.
I love it. Seriously. I really like this guy. If you have the tubes or have access to them, call BadNixie.com right now. There are are lot of features in this device so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to leave a note in the comments below.
{vimeo width="700" height="390"}24979437{/vimeo}
The stand out feature, in my opinion, is the enclosure for this clock. I've reviewed clocks made from wood, from Plexiglas, from acrylic, and from metal but never one from glass. I'm not an artist but it seems like glass would be a particularly difficult material to manage and that is exactly why this clock is so cool.
The glass is brand called Simax and is made in the Czech Republic. Is it a borosilicate glass (similar to Pyrex) that is exceptionally clear and sturdy. The construction of the enclosure is pretty unusual. The glass is shipped in a tube shape but you cannot simply take a hack saw and cut it to length.
The main body is to a 150cm length and then smoothed out with a torch. To relieve the stress created by heating the ends, the entire tube is placed in a kiln for several days in order to relieve internal stresses created.
The glass fee take even more work. Miachel had to cut this with a water-cooled glass saw and then grind down the edges using a special wet belt grinder using various grits. This gives the feet a smooth edge that looks very clear. The feet are adhered to the main tube using industrial glass glue.
The internal components are suspended in the tube using a piece of acrylic. It is capped off using two circular pieces, one with the ColdWarCreations logo and one with the CCCP mark.
The net effect: this enclosure is awesome.
A lot of hobbyists prefer through-hole construction. This method means that assembly for an end-user is easier but the drawback is that the components are more visible. This design uses primarily surface mount components. The means that the user is visually drawn to the tubes and not to the electronics.
There is a great attention to detail with this clock. The SMD components take up less space and Michael even went as far as to use micro Molex connectors to keep the connectors as small as possible. Apparently this takes special crimp tools to make a puny 30 gage wire is used to make them less visible.
The goal with the circuitry was to make it invisible and this design achieves it. For being installed in a glass case, the "guts" are barely noticeable.
Powering the clock is an Atmel Mega 168 microprocessor. The timing is provided by a temperature compensated 32kHz crystal and the backup power is provided by a super capacitor. Analog inputs are used for the light sensor and the temperature sensors. (More on those later)
The power supply is an isolated 9V DC wall transformer. Internally, the power is boosted to Nixie-levels using an MC34063A power supply controller.
Do you want to know more about the electronics? Michael posted the schematic here: http://coldwarcreations.com/nixieclk3.html
Controlling the clock is surprisingly simple. There are two buttons hidden in feet of the clock that are used to set the parameters. Initially I was apprehensive about only having two buttons but, to my surprise, it is surprisingly intuitive. The red switch sets the mode and the black switch is used to set the function.
This clock comes with a built in light sensor. This is a cool feature - it adjusts the brightness of the tubes based on the ambient brightness. This allows for brightness when you need it but extends the life of the tubes. The brightness is controlled via pulse width modulation and provides a maximum current of 3 mA.
Lastly, this device comes with a temperature sensor. It continuously adjusts the algorithm to ensure an accuracy and can display the temperature along with the time and date.
Jürgen sent me one of his NixieTherm thermometers for review and I've had a few days to play with it and so, here is another review:
The device itself is pretty simple to operate. It takes a mini-USB power source and has one switch on the back of the unit. There is an adjustment pot on the bottom of the unit but once the device is calibrated there is little need to change this setting.
When you first power on the device, you will notice that the tube is reading out a temperature that is significantly lower than room temperature. Don't be alarmed! This is normal. The device takes a little bit of time to warm up and start reading the correct temperature. This device is best left on as opposed to just turning it on when you want to read the current temperature.
One really cool aspect of this design is the fact that there is no microprocessor. This isn't an Arduino project or a PIC based gadget. The thermometer portion is a 100% analog design.
Like most other NixieKits.eu designs, this device features LED back lighting. In this case, there are to RGB auto cycling lights under the plastic temperature scale. Each LED cycles at its own pace so the net result is a display where the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales are usually different colors. The backlight is on whenever the thermometer is on; there is no way to turn it off other than modifying the underlying circuitry.
The tube is an IN-9 Russian bargraph tube. It looks like the tube is made up of dozens of little neon bulbs but this is not the case. It is, in fact, one large tube and the height of the glow changes proportionately to the input voltage. The end result is a tube that acts like the mercury in a thermometer.
Below are two photos - one with a neon bulb and one with an argon variation. The tubes are identical in every respect except for the color.
The price of the kit is 69 EUR and assembly is an additional 15 EUR. The PCB is through-hole only; there are no SMD parts. It should be pretty simple for someone to assemble from scratch with little experience.

Fresh off of Chris Rock's hit comedy Top Five, Rosario Dawson is shaking up Marvel's comic book universe in Netflix's Daredevil, which premieres Friday. Dawson knows the comic book world well: Not only did she star in Frank Miller's Sin City in 2005 (and the sequel last year), she's also a big fan of comic books herself.
But the character she plays in Daredevil is a deep cut, even for diehard comics fans. She plays a conflated version of two separate Marvel women: nurse and Luke Cage love interest Claire Temple and superhero Night Nurse, a doctor who helps wounded heroes in the Amazing Spider-Man and Daredevil comic...

Fifth Terminator Underway Already
Due in 2011
Terminator Salvation is still some months off, but positive fan reaction to the internet trailers that are out there has led to production company Halcyon to announce plans for a fifth instalment already.
This doesn't come as any great surprise, given that the film was already the first in a planned trilogy, with star Christian Bale signed up for three films already. Still, the news that it has a planned release date of 2011 is fresh, and shows that the filmmakers are feeling pretty confident in the wake of positive buzz on the trailers to date.
McG was in Dubai, where the announcement was made, and suggested that the Middle East might be a shooting location for the film - but that's got to be taken with a pinch of salt given that he could have been playing to the crowd, and has a well-known fear of flying (which led him to drop out of Superman Returns, remember).
But for more news on the fifth film, we'll most likely have to wait until closer to the release date of Terminator Salvation (which has thankfully lost its "The Future Begins" suffix) on June 5.

The Triplets Of Belleville Review
By Rob Blackwelder
A beautifully and brilliantly bizarre, near-silent cartoon from France, "The Triplets of Belleville" is a surreal wonder revolving around a back-of-the-pack Tour de France biker who is kidnapped by a midget mafioso's morphed-together henchmen to be part of a weird criminal carnival attraction.
The curiously beguiling concoction of innovative comic book artist Sylvain Chomet, it's a film that pays wiggly stylistic homage to Betty Boop and other early cartoons while creating an idiosyncratic and darkly whimsical world all its own in which an ocean-crossing rescue attempt is mounted by the biker's diminutive, gimpy, mustachioed grandmother, with the help of his spindly-legged, overweight childhood dog and a trio of aged Vaudeville singers.
Chomet's charming, visually cluttered realm of exaggerated bodies and elongated buildings is so imaginative and vividly realized that you could freeze any frame and spend an hour picking through its details, and his story is so unconventional as to be wholly unpredictable -- even to a seasoned, cynical movie critic. I apologize for the thesarus-bomb of 50-cent adjectives, but I'm at a loss for more evocative words. I've never seen anything like it before and I can't wait to see it again.

Communication in the Workplace is a revealing snapshot of how organisations really work. In workplaces throughout Australia and across the planet, billions of messages are sent in various forms every day, but not all of them get though.
Of those that do, may are misunderstood, Communication breakdown is just as common as communication effectiveness, but it doesn't have to be that way. Become a more effective communicator by finding out how messages can be sent -- and distorted -- by differing channels, including: memos emails meetings teleconferencing instant messaging Expert communicator Baden Eunson shares insights about the informal organisation, networking, how to know when messages are being lost due to cultures of silence, silos or empires (and what to do about it), and explains how knowledge management can help you get your message across.

Office Hoteling Software
Hoteling is the orderly sharing of a desk or workspace by workers who are not "in" the office every day of the week. When you hotel, you reserve a desk for only the days when you'll be in the office, just like booking a hotel room when you're on travel. Instead of 100 employees needing 100 desks, one for each person, you might have only 50 desks to support the 50 people (out of 100 total) who will be there to work on any given day.

Hard Travellin' by Kenneth Allsop, Pimlico pounds 10. This vivid study takes to the road in order to track the old ways of the hobo, and penetrates a culture commemorated in such words as flophouse, boxcar, freeload, bedroll, hitchhike, Okie and Skid Row. Riveting social history, with Woody Guthrie and Jack Kerouac as its moving spirits.

'And I grew up in patterned tranquillity, / In the cool nursery of the young century. / And the voice of man was not dear to me, / But the voice of the wind I could understand.' Over 900 pages of the most resolute, passionate and possibly the greatest Russian poetry of the early 20th century, including 80 new texts which came to light in 1990, plus paintings, photos, essays and notes. An indispensable volume.
China Diary by Stephen Spender and David Hockney, Thames & Hudson pounds 12.95. It was only a short trip, and at worst there's a banal, what-we-did-on-our-hols quality to the book. But Hockney's bright, quicksilver sketches and Spender's artless curiosity make it an oddly attractive package.

The countless conversations that I have had with parents over the years have made me think a lot about parent involvement. I have often encountered situations where parents are trying to let go of monitoring every aspect of their child's education in order to provide the child with some independence and responsibility. Sometimes, these attempts to allow the student to spread his or her wings ends in failure. So, my question is when should parents let go and at what expense? Should a parent let his or her child experience the failure of poor grades? Should a child's education be placed in the child's hands or should a parent be involved until they graduate? What does involved mean? Does it mean checking that assignments are complete? Does it mean providing consequences for poor grades? Does it mean emailing the teacher endlessly. I could go on and on with these questions.
I don't think I have the answers to these questions, but I can tell you what I wish for. I wish parents would talk to their children every evening about what they learned in school and never take "nothing" as an answer. I wish parents would ask questions and spark discussions about what their child is learning. I wish parents would ask to see their child's notebook once a week. I wish parents would read to their children or discuss books that they are reading. I wish parents would never make the statement "I was never good at . . . I can't help my child learn… " I wish parents would teach their children to be proactive, instead of reactive. I wish that if a child fails, the parent will teach the child how to pick himself up and learn from the mistake. I wish parents would start every conference or phone call with the question "Could you give me three strategies that my child can use to improve?", and end the call with "Thank you, I appreciate your advice. I am confident that my child can apply your suggestions to do better. " I wish parents would remember that teachers care about kids and are happy to help and provide support. I could continue with many more wishes, but lastly I wish parents would tell their children that you earn a grade by learning, not by doing extra credit.

Bug #1740
Linux emulation: -ffast-math causes floating point exception
Start date:
Due date:
% Done:
Some Linux binaries compiled with -ffast-math crash with floating
point exception. There also is a warning in dmesg:
FXRSTR: illegal FP MXCSR 00009fc0 didinit = 0
This is a bit unfortunate as for some reason the procps package
(pkill, pgrep, uptime, etc) is compiled with the -ffast-math switch
and the utilities crash.
The following mini-program shows the crash when compiled with
-ffast-math (as Linux binary):
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
double d;
scanf("%lf", &d);
printf("%f\n", d);
#1 Updated by tuxillo about 2 years ago
- Description updated (diff)
- Category set to Kernel
- Status changed from New to Closed
- Assignee deleted (
0) - Target version set to 4.2.x
Only i386 has linux emulation and i386 is no longer supported since 3.8 so closing this one.

High Pitch Whistle PLEASE HELP!!!
03 Duramax has a high very high pitch whistle. Seems to only happen under a load. When I feather the throttle a bit I can make it go away but as soon as I get back into it a bit it comes back. This is not turbo whine just a very annoying ear piercing whistle. The motor has about 60k miles and the turbo was replaced under warranty about 500 miles ago.
Please help my ears are killing me!!!!! |

Mine was doing that and others here suggested I tighten all the clamps on the intake and charged air cooler (blue piping). It worked.

I spent a lot of time also thinking it wasn't turbo whine, thinking instead it was some sort of electronically-generated noise. It IS turbo whine. With mine, it would happen under light acceleration, and any slight movement of the throttle would make it go away. After I installed a boost gauge I noted that the whine was emitted when the boost level was about 2 PSI. I was able to reluctantly live with it except when towing my 5th wheel, when the conditions were such that it whined constantly during level highway driving, splitting my head as I went down the road. I tried a lot of different things to get around it. What finally worked was adding a stop on the wastegate actuator rod so the wastegate is held slightly open. This has totally eliminated the whine except during rare occasions, and when it is there it's not as loud. My maximum boost has gone down from 22 psi to 14 psi. A bummer, but it was accept that or dump the truck. It seems like most people can ignore this noise, but there are a few of us whose heads must resonate at precisely the same frequency of the whine.

I get the same result, the dealer says they can't duplicate the problem. This is very frustrating because I only have about 1,000 mi left on my warranty and I have a feeling they'll find out it's something serious after my warranty expires! |

It has to be something with the Turbo Intake piping. Check the fitting where the Turbo Boost is tapped into. The line may have a hole. Mine does not make this type of sound. Only 40K though..Jim

Madison Cave isopod (Antrolana lira)
Listing Status:
Where Listed: WHEREVER FOUND
General Information
The Madison Cave isopod is an eyeless, unpigmented, freshwater crustacean. It belongs to a family that consists of mostly marine species and a small number of freshwater species. The species is the only member of its genus and is the only freshwater cirolanid isopod north of Texas. Its body is flattened and bears seven pairs of long walking legs. The first pair of legs are modified as grasping structures. It has a pair of short antennae and a pair of long antennae. Males reach a length of 0.6 inches; females reach a length of 0.7 inches. While most cave isopods spend the majority of their time walking along the bottoms of streams and pools, Antrolana lira spends much of its time swimming freely through flooded caves formed in ancient limestone.

Habitat Requirements
The Madison Cave isopod is found in flooded limestone caves beneath the Great Valley of Virginia and West Virginia where it swims freely through calcite-saturated waters of deep karst aquifers.
Food Habits
Its feeding habitats are unknown, however, it is believed to be carnivorous.
Movement / Home Range
Recent discoveries in caves and wells have extended the range of the species 200 miles. The range of the isopod is now known from a 15 mile wide belt stretching from Lexington VA to Charles Town, WV. There are documented population centers in the Waynesboro-Grottoes area (Augusta County, VA), the Harrisonburg area (Rockingham County, VA), and the valley of the main stem of the Shenandoah River (Warren and Clarke counties, VA, and Jefferson County, WV).
Reproductive Strategy
It is not known how this species reproduces.
The population size of the Madison Cave isopod is unknown at most sites. Sampling results suggest that the population is dominated by adults. The population structure of the Madison Cave isopod suggests that it has a lengthy life span with a low rate of reproduction.
