While working on my WorkerNet post, I stumbled across a weird behaviour with start_links, trap_exit and slave nodes.
Long Story (sorry, there is no short one)
As I was setting up a distributed test with slaves, I also wanted one gen_server to trap_exit's for the offsprings sake which I did not wish to be put under a supervisor (shame on me ;), suddenly – all of the tests stopped working! All of them where either timing out or reporting direct noprocs. Bewildered and wide eyed at 23:40 I gave it a go with the dbg tracer and even went through some of the gen_server source.
No answer.
I chalked it up to the rpc calls for the remote nodes, tried printing out the process numbers in each step. But no – it was a fact. My gen_servers died the instant they where created… Brooding over it, I tried some more but finally went to sleep. Up to then, I knew that the problem was caused by the following two snippets in combination with rpc calls to my local slave nodes
start_link() -> gen_server:start_link({local,?MODULE},?MODULE,[],[]). init([]) -> process_flag(trap_exit,true), {ok, ok}.
While the non trap_exit'd version worked like a charm. Not wanting to waste more time on it, I just circumvented it like a cheap rug on a very dark and very deep embarrassing hole in the floor with
start_link(succeed) -> {ok,Pid} = gen_server:start({local, ?MODULE}, ?MODULE, [], []), link(Pid), {ok,Pid}. init([]) -> process_flag(trap_exit,true), {ok, ok}.
But I couldn't leave it at just that. I had to seek help, and so I showed it to my senior colleague Nicolas, I had then devised a test which would reproduce this neatly. He cut it down a bit, and I boiled it to the broth you see here and can compile and run for yourself.
Just for the record: The seemingly expected behaviour would be to see the exit signals appear in the handle_info/2 – not causing the process to crash.
%%%------------------------------------------------------------------- %%% @author Gianfranco <email@example.com> %%% @copyright (C) 2011, Gianfranco %%% Created : 17 Jan 2011 by Gianfranco <firstname.lastname@example.com> %%%------------------------------------------------------------------- -module(test). %% API -export([start_link/1]). -export([test/1,init/1,handle_info/2,terminate/2]). -spec(test(fail|succeed) -> term()). test(Mode) -> io:format("Current 0 ~p~n",[self()]), spawn(fun() -> io:format("Current 1 ~p~n",[self()]), {ok, _P} = ?MODULE:start_link(Mode) end). start_link(fail) -> gen_server:start_link({local,?MODULE},?MODULE,[],[]); start_link(succeed) -> {ok,Pid} = gen_server:start({local, ?MODULE}, ?MODULE, [], []), link(Pid), {ok,Pid}. init([]) -> process_flag(trap_exit,true), {ok, ok}. handle_info(timeout,State) -> {stop,normal,State}; handle_info(_Info, State) -> io:format("info ~p~n",[_Info]), {noreply, State,5000}. terminate(_Reason, _State) -> io:format("reason ~p~n",[_Reason]), ok.
Compiling and running we see the expected and unexpected, I chose to call it succeed and fail, based on that the process dies (fails) and succeeds (succeed) in trapping
zen:Downloads zenon$ erlc test.erl zen:Downloads zenon$ erl Erlang R14B (erts-5.8.1) [source] [smp:4:4] [rq:4] [async-threads:0] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false] Eshell V5.8.1 (abort with ^G) 1> test:test(fail).

As you see, the process did not die after initialization. It trapped the spawner's end. One possible explanation could be the one stated is in the module gen_server.erl (read the source Luke!)
%%% --------------------------------------------------- %%% %%% The idea behind THIS server is that the user module %%% provides (different) functions to handle different %%% kind of inputs. %%% If the Parent process terminates the Module:terminate/2 %%% function is called. %%%
Some more digging into this, Nicolas came with the idea of sys:get_status/1 ing the processes. What was revealed can be seen below! The parent of the gen_server:start/1-ed process is itself!
Sys:get_status(<0.37.0>) = {status,<0.37.0>, {module,gen_server}, [[{'$ancestors',[<0.36.0>]}, {'$initial_call',{test,init,1}}], running,<0.37.0>,[], [{header,"Status for generic server test"}, {data, [{"Status",running}, {"Parent",<0.37.0>}, {"Logged events",[]}]}, {data,[{"State",ok}]}]]}

In an MIT dorm room, Xobni started off as a pet project by co-founder Adam Smith to analyze the information in his Outlook inbox. When it became clear that these insights would be useful to others, he joined up with Matt Brezina to start Xobni.
After receiving seed funding from YCombinator and other investors, the two drove across the country to San Francisco, and development began in earnest on an "addon" for Microsoft Outlook.
That February, Bill Gates praised Xobni for Outlook at a technology demo, proclaiming it the "next generation of social networking".
The name Xobni was chosen - representing how the user can "take back" their inbox. It was originally pronounced "ZOH-bnee". Bill Gates pronounced it "ZAH-bnee". We went with his pronunciation.
When Xobni released its second wave of products, it adopted the Smartr moniker. With Smartr for Gmail, iPhone, and Android, all the email analysis now happens in the cloud. Likewise, you can access all your contacts across all these devices.
For more details, please visit our blog. For existing Xobni and Smartr users, please visit our FAQ.

Microsoft developer division VP S. Somasegar took some time out from his firm's Build 2014 conference last week to blog details of the availability of Node.js Tools for Visual Studio 1.0 Beta.
As Dr. Dobb's readers will know, Node.js is a popular JavaScript-based server-side development language built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for network-centric applications.
Somasegar says that his team has seen "great support" for Node.js in Azure via Azure Web Sites and Azure Mobile Services for some time.
Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and "perfect" (say enthusiasts) for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.
Microsoft is of course going to pains now to tell us that the Node.js Tools for Visual Studio offering is set to be one of the best Node.js development environments available. This claim is based upon great JavaScript editor integration, NPM package management functionalities, and onward to fully integrated debugging and diagnostics. Then there is development too, that also works quite well apparently.
NPM (or npm) is the official package manager for Node.js running through the command line. Written in JavaScript itself, it handles dependency management and can be used to publish programs and access Node.js applications available on the npm registry.
This beta release expands support to Visual Studio Express for Web, plus there are debugging enhancements, extra remote debugging in Azure, edit and continue functions, and Azure Worker role support and TypeScript.
With the 1.0 Beta, NTVS is now available for the free Visual Studio 2013 Express for Web. NTVS is a free, open-source plug-in that turns Visual Studio into a Node.js IDE. NTVS supports Editing, Intellisense, Profiling, npm, TypeScript, Debugging locally and remotely (Windows/MacOS/Linux), as well Azure Web Sites and Cloud Service.
"Along with the Azure Node.js SDK, you now have everything you need to build high-performance Node.js websites and networked apps using Visual Studio and Azure," said Somasegar. "The debugging support in NTVS is available both when you F5 to run your Node project from Visual Studio, and when you remote debug a Node.js app running on Windows Azure — including even debugging an app running on Linux."
Somasegar continues, "One of the most important features of NTVS has been bringing the power and convenience of Visual Studio's Debugger to Node.js and the underlying V8 JavaScript engine. The debugging support in NTVS supports all the core debugging features developers expect in Visual Studio: breakpoints, call-stacks, locals, watches, conditional breakpoints, filters, when-hit actions, and more."
He also notes another new feature in this release — support for Azure Worker Roles, which means that developers can use integrated tools to deploy to either Azure Web Sites or Azure Worker Roles. By using worker roles, you can build managed backend services loosely coupled to your frontend web endpoints.
According to Node.js about pages, the language is similar in design to and influenced by systems like Ruby's Event Machine or Python's Twisted. Node takes the event model a bit further — it presents the event loop as a language construct instead of as a library. In other systems, there is always a blocking call to start the event loop.
Node.js Tools for Visual Studio (NTVS) is open source under the Apache 2.0 license and available on CodePlex, Microsoft's open source project hosting web site — the most current version is 0.10.26.

All I wanted to do on the Jetsons was design character models, but Bill and Joe sent me to Taipei to train a crew of Chinese (Taiwanese) assistant animators to do layouts.
Doing layouts on a show that has appealing designs is where the fun is anyway. The studio I was at (James Wang's Cuckoo's Nest) gave me a young crew of artists that had only a little experience so far on production. They were assistant animators on crap. Luckily they didn't have more experience. Had they been in the crazy 80s cartoon system for a few years before I got to them, it would have been impossible to break bad habits.
These guys were naive and believed anything I told them. I was the western expert on animation. So I told them everything that completely went against the 80s system. I told them hideous lies like "Drawing cartoons should be fun." and "You should listen to the sound track and then custom design each pose of the characters to match the sound of the emotions. Don't merely trace the model sheets".
When the studio heads introduced me to the artists, I asked each artist what his name was and they looked frightened. The translator took me aside and whispered to me "We no give you their Chinese names. We give them nice Western names. Make it easy for you to remember!"
...Names like Ronald, Oscar and Bin. There were about 9 in the crew, but I can't remember each western name today. These 3 were all very good cartoonists. Years later I hired Bin and some of the guys to animate some of my Bjork video.
Bin was especially eager and had a style that reminded me of Carlo Vinci. What's really amazing about this experience was that all these guys had no real exposure to classic American cartoons. They didn't grow up with them, yet they picked up the style really fast and all laughed at each handout I gave them and rushed to their desks to impress me. These guys never went home. They slept overnight on their desks, were always cheerful and couldn't wait to get their next scenes.
I would screen old cartoons and 3 Stooges shorts every Friday night in the cafeteria and everyone would come in and laugh their butts off. They couldn't believe how magical the animation and timing was in the old days and would ask me later to explain what happened to American entertainment. Why wasn't it good anymore? There was even a crew of Japanese artists working on some Anime show and they loved the old cartoons. They really went nuts for the 3 Stooges. They would all imitate Curley's laughs and woo woos. No one understood the words in any of the shorts, but the visual humor and storytelling was so strong in the 30s, 40s and 50s that everyone could understand most of what was happening.
The Chinese artists had funny habits. They used to chew on this sick smelly gooey stuff and it would rot their teeth. They would burp and fart during the pitches and not even blink an eye. These were stinky burps and farts too, believe me. No wimpy western gasses there.
When I would hand out a section to one of the artists, all the other artists' heads would pop up behind their desks to peer in on the pitch. I would sketch stuff out, play the cassette recording of the voices and then jump around and manhandle the cartoonists, while acting out the scene. Then the translator would have to repeat what I just said in Chinese to the artist. He would do it with a completely straight face and the artist would always look confused, then make me act it out all over again and all the heads would pop up again and bop up and down to a chorus of burps, giggles and farts.Anyway, these are some sample layouts that may look conservative today, but at the time were considered completely wild and "off-model" just because each artist drew the characters slightly different from each other and with some style. Style was considered evil in the 80s.
The crew at Hanna Barbera in California would see this stuff coming back and flip out over what a deranged radical I was. Bill loved the stuff though, and used to call me all the time to tell me how lively he shows looked compared to the garbage they were producing stateside. He would put artists at HB on the phone with me and make me tell them how to make their stuff look better, while he yelled at them.
Bill came to visit a couple times too and that was great fun. He would sing and tell jokes. I would remind him of all his old cartoons and how much I liked them and he would get all sentimental and cry.
Typical 80s cartoons I worked on before the Jetsons:
You can see why what I was doing was considered "wild" back then - and why I was desperate to work on something even mildly cartoony. Yeesh

At the end of the 19th century, the Brandenburg novelist and hiking enthusiast Theodor Fontane wrote extensively about the landscape in the heart of the Ruppiner Land region, and it has remained largely unchanged since then.
In northern Brandenburg, 60 kilometres from Berlin, the Stechlin-Ruppiner Land Nature Park is characterised by beech trees and clear-water lakes. Two thirds of the 680 square kilometre reserve is covered by forest, and the large areas of beech trees are especially beautiful, not to mention environmentally significant. In Germany as a whole, only 8 per cent of the original beech forests remain, but here that figure is closer to 25 per cent. There are more than 150 lakes here, including many of the rare clear-water lakes. In fact the park contains around half of all the low-nutrient clear-water lakes in Brandenburg. The Great Stechlin Lake – covering 425 hectares and up to 69 metres deep – is the largest and most important of these lakes in the whole of the North German Plain. Its name is Slavic in origin, deriving either from steklo, meaning glass (a reference to the clearness of the water) or from tek, meaning 'to flow'. A strong wind can create surprisingly high waves on the lake, which also lends its name to the title of Fontane's last work, Der Stechlin, and to Brandenburg's second largest conservation area. Nearly all the lakes allow fishing and swimming. For canoeing, the Havel and Rhin waterways and especially the Rheinsberg lakes are all suitable, while steamboat trips depart from places such as Rheinsberg, Fürstenberg/Havel and Neuruppin. Nearly all the lakes in the reserve can be walked around on foot, and the 250km Ruppiner Land Circular Trail is particularly recommended.

[this is for normal mode]
This fight is pretty easy but has a bit of a learning curve for new tanks since the boss swapping needs to be well done in order for the raid to achieve success.
Tanking & General Encounter
Important considerations:
• The dogs build energy based on their proximity to each other.
• Dogs explode for raid wide damage when they hit 100 energy
• Active dogs' abilities do far less damage than inactive dog's abilities
For this reason, your primary goal is to control the energy build up so:
• Only active dogs hit 100
• The explosions are staggered
• Don't get turned into stone
The primary way to do this is to keep the dogs split. Have one tank take one dog, and have the other tank take two. Because you want the active dog to be the one that explodes (off colour explosions are often a wipe), you need to make sure the active dog is always the one paired up with another dog. If the solo dog goes active, that tank will pick up the lowest energy dog of the opposite pair. If one of the dog pairs goes active, you make no change. You may need to do a double dog swap soon after the pull to help stagger the dogs' energy better, or later in the fight to correct any earlier mess-ups.
Also note that the solo dog has damage reduction; DPS should always be on the pair. Because the dogs share health pools, cleaving on the pair is awesome.
Dog Abilities
You will notice that every week, this boss will vary slightly. There are actually four dogs, and one of them rotates out every week in a predictable fashion. Which dogs are present determines what additional abilities your raid will face.
The Cobalt dog puts frost mines on the ground under a person (including tanks). Move out of these and be careful not to clip the circles, as it will explode for damage and freeze nearby raid members in place. This can be especially deadly if paired with the Jasper chains. It is very easy to get a large buildup of mines during the fight, and it is highly recommended that you have someone intentionally trigger them either with a damage reduction cooldown, or when the Cobalt dog is active and there is an inate damage reduction. Make sure you warn your healers for cleansing the freeze.
The Jasper dog will chain two raid members together and they must remain in proximity throughout the fight. If your chain looks like it's burning and on fire, you're too far. Split raid members take a bunch of damage, as do members who break their chains (although you can try to do this when Jasper is active, it's really not worth it). Chains usually seem to prioritise tying ranged and healers to melee rather than to each other, so expect this to be a pain.
The Jade dog does additional unavoidable AoE damage throughout the fight. It just means a slightly larger burden on healers, but really it's pretty negligible.
The Amethyst dog drops purple puddles on the ground that hurt to stand in. Don't stand in them, definitely don't get frozen in them.

2017 SR5 4wd Crew Cab.
By Golfer on Thursday, July 20, 2017Prior to purchase, I saw mixed reviews on the new generation. Initially the transmission seemed to be a bit jumpy. But is it a learning transmission. I took it out on a 700 mile trip through flat lands and mountain passes. The transmission settled down and is now really smooth. I would suspect if you driver it hard, the transmission will remember that and learn accordingly. The engine seems to have plenty of power and if you need a little more spunk for hills and towing, there is a button on the dash below the 4x4 nob that will change the shift patter. The seats are great. The new model seats are a bit more elevated that the previous years. Still could use a little more option for adjustment, but it is adequate. Mine has the lumbar adjustment, very effective and easy to us. I am 6 foot and I fit just fine in the truck with head room to spare. I test drove a Sport model as well. The Sport seats seem to set you lower into the seat and the bolsters were a bit to aggressive for me. I found my self having to lift myself out of the Sport seat to try to get out. The SR5 seats sit up a bit more and I just slide out of them. My SR5 came with a factory installed tonneau cover and the tow package, which I highly recommend both. Initially the suspension seemed a bit bouncy on ruff roads, but after the long drive on various roads and terrain, it seems to have settled down. Around town I am averaging 18-19 mpg. But, out on the highway at 65 to 70 mph I saw 24. Anything over 75 dropped the mileage down to 21. The truck is really easy to maneuver in parking lots/spaces. If fits well inside of the garage.

overrated truck
By tico on Wednesday, September 09, 2020i own a 2017 double cab, reliable but very simple inside, the engine is not that great, it is slow feels like the transmision is slow to change gears, it is not a gas saver truck, the sound sistem is bad, the radio is already giving me problems.

Exactly what I was looking for in a truck
By AZBENMAN on Sunday, July 07, 2019This is my 2nd Tacoma Double Cab (1st one was an 06 with a 4Runner in between). I was waiting for the new Ford Ranger but ended up purchasing the TRD Off Road 4X4 because I couldn't pass up the year end deal. It is a solid truck, and will be for many years of ownership. While I agree with the transmission complaints, it does get better gas mileage than my 06 by a couple of MPGs. I don't use the cruise control in the mountains as it will shift and rev constantly. To me that is a small annoyance I have learned to live with. The radar cruise control on flat terrain works great. I am average height and lived with the seating position in my previous model. Not a problem for me. The Crawl Control is outstanding! I am confident this truck will get me out of most off road situations. Also, I was originally looking at the Limited model, but that model uses the standard base model shocks. The upgraded Bilsteins on the TRD Off Road ride much nicer in my opinion and the off road tires are surprisingly quite at speed. My only real complaint, and it is minor, is that the central locking does not lock the tail gate. You have to pull the key out of the fob to lock it. If that is my only real compliant, then I made the right choice.

Angels - 000 000 001 - 1 6 1Matsuzaka (6-3-0-3-5, 93) did not allow a hit until the fifth inning -- and he worked out of a 2nd & 3rd, 1 out jam in that inning by striking out pinch-hitter Gary Matthews and Chone Figgins.
Red Sox - 000 002 02x - 4 9 0
Dice stayed with his fastball in the early innings. He threw 63% fastballs, much higher than his 52.5% career average. His pitches were faster, crisper and far less hittable than at any other point this season. However, he did throw only 56% strikes.
The Sox scored twice in the sixth. Alex Gonzalez singled off the Wall and Jacoby Ellsbury bunted for a hit. Dustin pedroia bunted down the third base line, and Lackey threw the ball away past third. Seabass scored. After J.D. Drew grounded out and Jason Bay walked to load the bases, David Ortiz singled off left fielder Juan Rivera's shoetops.
In the eighth, Drew tripled with one out and scored on Bay's single to left. Bay was easily thrown out trying for a double. Ortiz then launched a dong to dead center. It was his 270th home run as a DH, a new major league record.
Dice got ahead of the first batter of the game (Figgins) 0-2, but walked him. Same old Dice? No. He retired the next eight Angels until he walked Figgins again (with two outs) in the 3rd. But he got the next hitter and then retired the side in order in the fourth. He got out of the fifth inning jam, then worked around a one-out double in the sixth.
The Blue Jays belted five dongs in a 10-4 rout of the Yankees (although the MFY outhit them!) and the A's beat the Rangers 6-1, so Boston is 6.5 GB in the East and 5.5 GA in the WC.
Matsuzaka returns to the Boston rotation after almost three months. His last start was on June 19 (log). The big question -- the only question, really -- is which Dice will we see?
Along the way there was a bit of controversy about his training and pitching methods. (And NPB had a brief post in August about pitch counts in Japan and MLB.)
John Farrell:
He has done an outstanding job of committing to a program and getting himself in what we consider, just from the naked eye, better shape. He's reshaped his body. He's added core strength. He's gotten the strength levels in his shoulder back to a level where he was a year ago. I think he feels good about himself as well, so we're all looking forward to his next time out here.Terry Francona:
He kind of evolved the last couple of years. He got away from the guy we had signed for a few different reasons. I think what we're hoping to do is see closer to the stuff that we saw when we signed him. You might not see the exact same stuff. I don't know if that's fair. But get closer to it this year, [and hope] that during the winter then when he comes back next year, we're back to that guy with a better comfort for pitching here and living here culturally and competing.In his final minor league start, Dice hit 93 with his fastball and threw 61 of 89 pitches for strikes. But that was against A-ball hitters.
My guess for tonight? 5-4-1-2-6, 95.
Plus: A reminder of what a dush and clown Lackey is.
Blue Jays/Yankees at 7 and A's/Rangers at 8.

According to the American Cancer Society, exercise can improve how cancer patients function physically, as well as increase their quality of life.
While the American Cancer Society suggests avoiding physical activity if it causes pain, a rapid heart rate or shortness of breath, exercise can offer the following benefits for those who are physically able:
- Improve your physical abilities
- Improve your balance and lower your risk of falls
- Protect your muscles
- Lower the risk of heart disease
- Lower your risk of osteoporosis
- Improve your circulation and lower your risk for blood clots
- Improve your mood by lowering depression and anxiety
- Help you control your weight
- Lessen your fatigue
For patients who are currently in treatment, the American Cancer Society says to let your symptoms dictate how active you are and what kinds of exercises you do.
When recovering from treatment, patients should also take it slow at first until they find out what their limitations are. According to the American Cancer Society, what might have been a low-intensity workout before cancer treatment might now be an intense workout for a patient who's recovering.
For those who are now cancer-free or who have stabilized the disease, the American Cancer Society recommends that they exercise regularly – aiming for about 150 minutes per week – and include strength training in their workouts at least twice a week.

Jeff Goldblum channeled his inner "Jurassic Park" for an epic wedding photo that's going viral.
Adam Biesenthal, the photographer who snapped the picture, told The Huffington Post that Goldblum and his fiancee attended the wedding of Pamela and Jesse Sargent this past weekend in Toronto.
The couple wanted a T.Rex Photoshopped into one of their pics.
And what better person to have running with you than the "Jurassic Park" star himself?
Goldblum is actually in the process of planning his own wedding to fiancée Emilie Livingston, whom he popped the question to last month.

Creating a panorama from a christmas ball reflection
One of the cheapest and easiest ways to create a full spherical panorama is by photographing a mirror ball. The easiest source for a mirror ball is probably the collection of christmas balls on your attic, so that is what we are going to use in this tutorial.
To make your own christmas ball panorama the way I do it in this tutorial, you'll need a christmas ball, a camera and some software. Read on.
The camera
You can of course use a digital camera or you can use an anolog one and scan the results. What matters only, is that you'll probably want to use a camera with some zooming capacity. Since you are photographing a mirror, the camera and it's tripod (or you) will be in the reflection. The further away the camera is, the less it blocks the view. Also, the larger the Field of View (FoV) of your resulting image will be.
The christmas ball
The christmas ball should be as perfectly round as possible to minimize distortion. Of course it should be as reflective and color free as possible, but it also helps a lot if the reflective layer is the top layer of the ball. Using a big ball will give your panorama a better resolution. It will also allow you to position your camera further away from the ball. A tiny ball will generally give you a bigger FoV and it can give the viewer of the panorama the feeling that he is a tiny person in a weird big world.
I use Adobe Photoshop for this tutorial. Basically any version of Adobe Photoshop will work, as long as it supports the Panorama Tools Plugins. You can perhaps do it just as well with other software than Photoshop. If you do not have it, follow closely what I do and find a way to do it alternatively. Even better, add it your procedure to this tutorial. Of course you need the Panorama tools too. Optionally you can also use the Flexify plugin from Flaming Pear for the conversion.
Photographing the christmas ball
To get the least amount of distortion, be sure to point the hanging mechanism of the ball on the opposite side of the camera. Apart from that, use your imagination. Photograph it and load up the resulting photo in Photoshop. For this tutorial I assumed you photographed the ball from straight above.
Converting the picture to an equirectangular image
First of all flip the image horizontally, because it is mirrored. Secondly crop it to a square so the edge of the ball touches the edge of of the image on all 4 sides. Finding the edge of the ball is hard, since what you see directly around the ball is per definition exactly the same as what you see in the ball. It is after all a mirror.. Your cropped image should look like this:
While this looks like a Fisheye Projection image, it certainly is not. First of all the FoV is close to 360 degrees, which is very uncommon for a fisheye image. Secondly, with a fisheye the number of degrees covered in the image with each millimeter you move away from the center is the same. That is a difficult sentence, so I'll give an example: Say you draw a circle with a diameter of 1 cm from the center of the image and that cicle covers 10 degrees FoV. Then a circle with a diameter of 2 cm will have a FoV of 2 x 10 = 20 degrees. And so on.
With this reflection, this is not the case. In the center part of the image the rule more or less holds, but as you get nearer to the edge of the ball, more and more degrees are crammed into a mm. Therefore you can not simply defish this image, but you'll have to convert it from "convex mirror" or "mirror ball" to Equirectangular Projection.
To convert it you can use the Panorama Tools Plugins or the flexify plugin from Flaming Pear.
Convert using The Panorama Tools plugins
- From the Photoshop menu, choose Filter - Panorama Tools - Remap.
- Set HFoV and VFoV to 360 degrees. Set Convert From to Convex mirror and set Convert To to PSphere. (A PSphere is the same as equirectangular)
- Click Prefs in the upper right corner, uncheck option a and check options b and c. Make sure the textbox of option c holds the path to the photoshop program itself. The result of the remap will make the image twice as wide as it is high, but photoshop does not allow plugins to alter the image size. Therefore we need to save the image and reopen it.
- Click OK.
Convert using the Flexify plugin from Flaming Pear
- From the photoshop menu, choose Filter - Flaming Pear - Flexify.
- Set input to mirror ball and output to equirectangular. Set Latitude to 0, Longitude and Spin to 90 and Glue to normal.
- Click OK. What you will get is the same output the panorama tools would have given, only the width of the image is condensed by a factor 2. This is because Photoshop does not allow the Flexify filter to change the image dimensions.
- From the photoshop menu, choose Image - Image Size. uncheck constrain proportions and double the image width.
The Result of the conversion
What you should have now is an equirectangular image with the center of the camera exactly in the upper row of pixels, like this:
If you used the Panorama Tools Plugins for the conversion, you may have an image that is one pixel too wide. It's a bug in the Panorama Tools. Use the Image - Image Size dialog to check if the horizontal size is exactly twice the vertical size. If not make it so by altering the horizontal size. Make sure Constrain Proportions is unchecked.
Fixing the Field of View (optional)
You can skip this part if you are not looking for optimal results. I don't, because if you skip it, you might have a sort of barrel distorted panorama.
Unless you shot the ball at at a distance that is infinitely larger than the diameter of the ball, your FoV will not be 360 degrees. It will be less, but usually not much. you can actually calculate the resulting FoV. You do it like this:
FoV = 360 - 2 * arcsin ( d / (2 * s) )
With d being the diameter of the ball and s being the distance of the camera lens to the center of the ball. Make sure that arcsin returns degrees, not radials.
If you don't like to do calculations, just guess. Try 340 degrees.
We are going the use result you got from the calculation to correct the FoV of the image. Let's pretend you got 340 degrees FoV. That means 360-340=20 degrees are missing in the equirectangular image. That 20 degrees is the view right behind the ball. It will be directly opposite to the center of your camera lens. In your equirectangular image, that will be the bottom part of your image. we are going to fill it with black.
In an equirectangular image, The height of the image is directly proportional to the vertical FoV. The horizontal FoV of your image is 360 degrees, but the vertical FoV is not 180 degrees like in a full equirectangular image. Therefore the vertical size of this image should not be half the horizontal size, but a bit less. We are going to scale it by a factor 340/360. So grab your calculator and change the vertical size (Image - Image Size dialog) to 340/360 * old_size. So if your image has a vertical size of 720 pixels, change it to 720 * 340/360 = 680 pixels. Again, make sure Constrain Proportions is unchecked.
Now we have an equirectangular image that is not twice as wide as it is high, but most Panorama Viewers require it to be. To fix that we enlargen the image, filling the extra part with black. From the Photoshop menu, choose Image - Canvas size. Click the middle upper arrow and change the height to half the size of the width. Set canvas extension color to black. Click OK.
And there you are. Your first christmas ball panorama. It should look something like this:
Note I did not fill it with black, but with purple. Only to show what part was filled up by the canvas size change.
Below this line you can see an interactive example of the image above. Drag the mouse in the image to look around, use ctrl and shift to zoom. My christmas ball was far from round, as you can see :(
<pano file="Christmas_ball_equirectangular_filled.jpg" width="350" height="200" viewer="ptviewer"/>
Saving and viewing the results
Save the image as JPEG and choose a viewer to see your panorama. For a choice of viewers, check the software page. PTViewer would be a good example of a small, easy to use panorama viewer.
I will make some additions describing how to act if you have not shot the ball from straight above.

So we've learned that a woman with a hapless driving record of four speeding tickets, two failures to stop for a cop, a whopping seven accidents and other infractions was hired as the state's highway safety director, apparently because Toonces the cat was unavailable.
Aside from the obvious ironies of appointing a bad driver to promote good driving practices, the appointment of Sheila Burgess reminds us that political patronage is not only thriving in Massachusetts, it's also swerving across traffic lanes, crashing into boulders and failing to pay excise taxes. And it's a big embarrassment to Gov. Deval Patrick and U.S. Rep. James McGovern, whose aide acknowledged that he recommended Burgess be hired.
Unfairly, though, the driving debacle is already fueling criticism of Lt. Gov. Tim Murray, even though Murray is only tangentially connected to Burgess and had no role in securing her a job. Murray, you see, has had the temerity to express an interest in the governor's seat, even though he's not part of the Boston establishment and hails from that city's favorite geographic punch line, otherwise known as the wilderness of Worcester.
When The Boston Globe broke the story Sunday that the politically connected Burgess was hired as director of the Massachusetts Highway Safety Division despite 34 entries on her driving record, prominently mentioned was a r�sum� that listed Murray as among the Democratic candidates for whom she had raised money and advised.
But in an interview yesterday, Murray reiterated that he hired Burgess' sister, Colleen, president of SBH Consulting/Mass Strategy Group, when he was running for Worcester mayor in 2003. He said he knew Sheila Burgess, who is listed as a principal of SBH, as having done work for McGovern.
"It was Jim McGovern who called the governor's people on her behalf, and Jim will tell you that," Murray said. "McGovern's people acknowledged he made the referral, yet I'm getting pinned with it."
McGovern's spokesman stressed again yesterday that McGovern recommended Burgess, although not for any specific post. And some could say that McGovern is taking the fall for his friend, Murray, but in this case there's no reason to connect Murray to the hiring.
"Our office reached out to the governor's office and said, 'If you're looking for a good person, here's a good person,' " Michael Mershon said. "Jim McGovern was one of the first elected officials to endorse Deval Patrick. We didn't go through the lieutenant governor because there was no need to. We own this one."
And this one looks bad. Burgess was appointed to the $87,000-a-year post in 2007, despite having no background in public safety or government administration. What she had was a driving record that would make Lindsay Lohan blush. She's now out of work with a head injury after her car crashed into a boulder Aug. 24. The Patrick administration said Burgess will be assigned to a different post, but I sense a disability pension in this woman's future.
As for Murray's future, last week he said at a breakfast meeting that, "I would like to be governor," which immediately sparked a derisive column by Howie Carr. But I've learned not to underestimate our former Boy Mayor. Many scoffed at his vision of a downtown without the mall, and hardly anyone believed that a Worcester politician could win the lieutenant governor's post.
"It does make things harder," Murray said. "I'm not unmindful of what Paul Cellucci and Jane Swift had to go through."
If Murray decides to run for governor, he'll prove soon enough that he's no small-town hack. Sure, he has a political skeleton or two. But if voters care about facts and fairness, this sorry scandal won't become one of them.

2010 Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run
Saturday June 26th, 2010

UltraTails - 2010 Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run
Runners measure performance by time over distance. For runners, math calculations grow exponentially more difficult the farther into a run they go. While sitting at the Foresthill aid station, 62 miles traveled, sipping soup, struggling to divide 38 miles by 12½ hours I puked twice then came up with the fuzzy magic number of
It became my most important number and immediate critical mission. Three miles an hour, I told Michelle as we made for the exit of the aid station, think I can do that.
But how did we get to this point?
It always starts in November, seven months prior to the race with their application regiment. So coveted is a spot in their starting pen that the Western States Endurance Run lottery process lops off 80% of its eager applicants. That may seem severe, and it is, but National Forest permitting restrictions allow only about 425 starters per annual race. Ive applied every year since 1998 (except one - after the race was cancelled due to dangerous air quality caused by nearby forest fires)... of 12 registration attempts this was only my fifth year being accepted.
Fast forward to race week... This year I was without the services of crewmate Peter Block, who has helped pace, crew, drive, and inspire all four of my previous WS100s. In Petes absence Michelle (wife) would serve as crew -but- wouldnt be able to pace because we had no additional driver. We arrived on Thursday and shared a rental house with ultra-buddy Michael Davenport who was going for his 5th finish too, and first-timers Steve Emmert and Dominic Guinta - all of us from the Chicagoland area. At race check-in we met up with Jennifer Aradi, another rookie from Chicago. Our group of five runners and one crewmate dined at
on Friday evening.
If youre an ultra runner there is no better place to be than the
WS100 starting pen
, predawn on the final Saturday in June. Last minute adjustments were illuminated by staccato camera flashes. An overhead clocked clicked down to zero, shotgun fired, the collective pack surged... wayward ho, `way we go!
The pack morphed into a tail and wagged
up the mountain
of Squaw Valley ski resort. Climbing, we skipped over sections of snow as behind the sun rose above Lake Tahoe. A final push brought us to the top where a greeter rolled his welcoming Paiste gong at
Emigrant Pass
, 8750 feet above sea level. Whew... four miles done, 96 to go.
Plunging the mountains backside a wild, sometimes barely discernable trail bumped and switched deep forest, brush, snow, back country fire trails and creeks. At just six miles into the race those
mountain creeks
were our first flirtations with the waters that would converge and form the Middle Fork of the American River.
Near nine miles we detached from the classic trail and descended into the French Meadows Reservoir area. This detour avoided deep snow that cluttered the normal, higher ridge trails and afforded us stunning close-ups of the French Meadows shoreline. The 2010 snow route featured aid stations at
Talbot Creek
Poppy Trailhead
While trotting along a dusty fire road one of three fishermen stepped out of his truck and asked me, Is this some sort of competition?
Yep, were running 100 trail miles to Auburn.
We all shared a laugh when, incredulously his buddy shook his head, Man, Im glad Im not you!
Wed covered decent mileage during morning hours but could feel the days heat climbing while working the trail through burnt-out patches where new growth was fighting its way back after a 2001 forest fire. To compound hazards this trail had been recently cut leaving two inch spear-like tree-shoots sprouting from underground... careful. I took a brief timeout for a view back to the waters of
French Meadows
At Duncan Canyon aid station - 23.8 miles we rejoined the traditional WS100 course. I met and shared a few rugged trail miles with
Sandra Ross
, who after many years of crewing her husband was looking for her first WS100 finish. Together we scampered through Duncan Creek, which was running higher & faster than normal due to the late snow melt. A bit farther up the trail I caught the man who started it all, pioneer
Gordy Ainsleigh
as we made our way to the first major crew accessible aid station.
Michelle was there at
Robinson Flat
. Though it was only 29.7 miles for runners, Michelle had to drive over 100 mountainous miles then catch a shuttle bus to meet me. She gave updates on our Chicago runners (whod all been through) while I munched cookies, chips and orange slices. It was 12:30 after noon... pretty much my predetermined pace. We planned our next rendezvous for T plus six hours at 55+ miles, which turned out to be a serious miscalculation on my part. A kiss for luck and I was off.
Three weeks prior to race I suffered a strained hamstring during an easy run six days later I pulled it completely while playing softball. At that point my training, which had been hampered due to a nagging achilles tendon became almost completely void of running. I turned to l-o-n-g bike rides and lap swimming for conditioning while addressing these injuries through aggressive therapy sessions. Some friends advised a DNS (do not start) but for me that was never a consideration... its just too difficult to get in this race... expectations can adjust, but ultimately a finishers buckle must be obtained from each WS100 opportunity.
Leaving Robinson Flat persistent snow stretches obstructed progress for 1½ miles until finally we peaked and made the south-facing trails of Little Bald Mountain. Gradually the course changed into easy downhill sections and offered the fastest running of our day. We descended, the mercury rose, the notorious canyons drew closer as we pulled into
Last Chance
checkpoint at 43.8 miles. A friendly scale dialed two ticks up from my starting weight of 145 lbs. More bites of orange and potato chips were in order.
Exiting the station a couple of roving safety patrol officials obliged me a photo roadside near
abandoned mining equipment
. Leaving the road switchbacks led us down technical trail some 1700 feet over the span of just a couple of miles. Long before bottoming out we could hear the rush of our flirtatious friend, the American River which we crossed, this time by
suspension footbridge
at 2730 feet above sea level. From there a steep trail got us out of the canyon and up to
Devils Thumb aid station - mile 47.8
Progress began slowing... lack of training mileage was catching up to me. Five miles of runable trail dipped into El Dorado Canyon but I was reduced to shuffling. I hurried through the El Dorado aid station to start the next 2.8 mile climb as daylight wanned. An hour later my shoes touched backtop roads at the aid station of
Michigan Bluff - mile 55.7
Apologized to Michelle for my serious miscalculation of arrival time at Michigan Bluff... I was an 1½ hours late. She took it all in-stride, Michael came through more than two hours ago. Steve is an hour up, and Jen is ½ hour ahead of you.
Michelle had a chair set up and helped peel away my sullied socks for some scrubing, drying and vaselining... then I forced my swollen feet back into their shoes. At 8:20 darkness was settling into the forest. I stood, took a few seconds to regain balance while checking my headlamp. We overheard a report that Geoff Roes had just arrived at the finish line, edging Anton Krupicka by a few minutes... both had bettered the previous course record by a substantial amount of time. They were in Auburn celebrating a race well-run... those of us at Michigan Bluff were facing 45 more miles and now scraping against 30-hour pace projections.
There was a full moon rising and urgency in the air as I followed
road signs
to the trail leading down to Volcano Canyon. Didnt mind being passed by others descending to Volcano Creek... knew Id catch up on the climb up to Bath Road. There, we were treated to views of the moon through breaches in the forest canopy. I wanted to run the mile stretch along Foresthill Road to the aid station at the elementary school but had depleted energy reserves and couldnt hold any pace beyond walking. I staggered in and needed help mounting the scale for mandatory weigh-in. Fortunately my weight was satisfactory enough to allow passage.
And there we were... the aid station at Foresthill... 62 miles covered, 38 to go. I worked to
replenish calories
and calculate the pace necessary to beat cutoffs to the finish line.
The pace was
. It became my immediate critical mission.
Michelle walked me through the exit of the aid station and ½ mile down Main Street to the trail head. Dominic appeared there and together we plunged back into the forest. Dom was moving well and soon detached, leaving me in his wake.
Power-hiking was my fastest sustainable speed. Anything faster was raising a nauseous reaction in my stomach. I drank lightly and doused my head continuously from water bottles. Took swigs of coke and soup at aid stations. Pushed to cover three miles in each hour. Thought about the great advice we heard at the pre-race meeting, Youll hit low points during the race. Think about how fortunate you are to be one of the few selected for this event. The low points will pass. Be thankful for your good health and cherish the moment.
16 miles and five hours after leaving Foresthill I arrived at the cool banks of the Rucky Chucky aid station. After a quick weigh-in I hurried down steep rocky steps to grab the last spot on the next raft heading across the Middle Fork of the American River. The short break in the raft and chilly river crossing helped me stomach soup and potato chips before pushing up the 750 foot climb on the other side.
Under the star-filled California skies I arrived at Green Gate - mile 79.8 - the 4th crew accessible aid station. I called out into the darkness for Michelle, but she wasnt there. Instead Dom appeared from the shadows where he was catching a few winks. Just as at Foresthill we dove into the darkness of the trail together and again, he was moving quicker and soon left me behind.
My power hiking
mission was keeping up a 30 hour projected finish. Figured that eventually Id have to run or risk a finish too close to the absolute cutoff for comfort. Throughout the night my stomach had protested all calories offered. Just before dawn I found a packet of GU Chomps in my fanny pack and tried a couple between squirts of water. They went down easy. They stayed down without objection. Hmmm... interesting. I shuffled along the trail for a mile and repeated the Chomps intake... success!
This new-found source of energy propelled me into a quicker tempo. I was jogging again and connected with a pack of runners / pacers, nine in all and single-file as the wee-small-hours surrendered to early morning. Pacers were cajoling and advising their runners, We need to pick it up just a little more.
Leaving the crazy, cross-dressing checkpoint - Browns Bar - mile 89.9, our loosely formed pack splintered. I chased the lead runner and his pacer down rocky trail to the sun-splashed brushy banks of the American River. We rushed along the river then started our second-to-last ascent, 600 feet to the Highway 49 aid station. A
camera-ready Michelle
got a
shot of me
as I caught her at the highway crossing.
Go Billy!, she guided me to a chair for a quick break and change of equipment. One water bottle and my lucky Chicago singlet would see me to the finish... no need to tote flashlights anymore. We had just 6½ miles to go and 2½ hours in which to do it. From the exit point a moderate uphill led to
brown-grassy meadows
. Then we doubled back for a final dive to our watery course companion, the American River. Running well on the descent I caught up with Jennifer Aradi... it was the 1st Id seen of her since Friday dinner some 38 hours earlier... she was looking great and moving well... Go Jen!
Crossing the River at No Hands bridge I connected with Dom, Do you think we have enough time to finish?
Piece of cake, I winked understanding his concern being a first-timer. We raced over the bridge and gently rose with the trail along the river. Auburn awaited, just above the rocky outcropping of Robie Point. Pressing up my last ¼ mile of dusty trail a smiling Tim Twietmeyer approached, Need any ice?
Quite bizarre... here was the President of the
Foundation, five-time champion, 25-time finisher (all sub-24 hour)... an A-list celebrity greeting back-of-the-packers as we arrived in Auburn. Youd think he had far more important matters to attend at this moment on race weekend. I declined his offer but gleefully accepted his high-five.
The trail ended, handing us off to blacktop road and the Robie Point checkpoint. I stuck to my tradition of skipping the last aid station... followed the orange-painted-footprints
winding through town
. Michelle met me outside the gates of the track and together we made the final lap... she gave me the inside lane. We hit the tape in 29 hours, 12 minutes... far from a PR but satisfying nonetheless.
I dipped into a tent for shade and a podiatrist... feet and toes were mangled... achilles tendon ravaged... no surprises there. Michael appeared looking fresh and rested to congratulate me. Got himself a WS100 PR of 25:33, effectively stripping the dnf monkeys off his back. Steve had come in comfortably one hour before. Michelle stood ready at the finish line to cheer-in
. Dom and I snagged a photo with
RD Greg Soderlund
. Adrenaline kept the finish line celebration going for hours.
Our tight group of five from Chicagoland ran well... overcoming all obstacles and long odds each finished within the 30-hour time limit earning our
... to all participants of the 2010 Western States 100.
Many thanks
... to all crewmates, pacers, officials and volunteers who helped us along the way on this adventure.
Atta boy
... to Geoff Roes and Tony Krupicka for their epic dual and for breaking the course record.
Atta girl
... to Tracy Garneau for her winning performance.
No after-thought here... my biggest
thank you

Allen Simpson is my 1st cousin 1x removed. In other words he is my dad's cousin. Our common ancestors are James Dawson and Emma Buckley, my great grandparents.
Allen was born sometime in Q3 of 1923 in Keighley, West Yorkshire to parents Alfred Simpson and Annie Dawson.
As far as I can tell from the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) website Allen served as a Private in The Parachute Regiment, AAC. He was assigned to the 6th (10th Bn. The Royal Welch Fusiliers) Battalion – see this in Wikipedia. His service number was 4868547.
Allen would have been involved in the Allied invasion of Italy at the beginning of September 1943.
Allen's date of death is given as 10 September 1943. And although I haven't been able to prove this conclusively I believe he died during Operation Slapstick. This was the code name for a British landing from the sea at the Italian port of Taranto.
The only casualties in the landing occurred on 10 September when HMS Abdiel, while maneuvering alongside the dock, struck a mine and sank. There were 58 killed and 154 wounded from Allen's battalion and 48 from the Abdiel's crew.
I haven't been able to find a list of casualties from the Welch Fusiliers but I found this Special Forces Roll of Honour which lists Allen as a casualty of the sinking of HMS Abdiel in Taranto Harbour.
Allen is buried in Bari War Cemetery in Italy – his grave reference is II.B.24. Incidentally his name is recorded as Allen in the GRO birth records and as Alan on the CWGC website.
The following information is from the CWGC.
The site of Bari War Cemetery was chosen in November 1943. There was no serious fighting in the vicinity of the town, which was the Army Group headquarters during the early stages of the Italian campaign, but it continued to be an important supply base and hospital centre, with the 98th General Hospital stationed there from October 1943 until the end of the war. At various times, six other general hospitals were stationed at Trani and Barletta, about 48 km away.
Besides garrison and hospital burials, the cemetery contains graves brought in from a wide area of south-eastern Italy, from the 'heel' right up to the 'spur'. Here too are buried men who died in two disastrous explosions in the harbour at Bari, when ammunition ships exploded in December 1943 (during a German air raid) and April 1945.
Bari War Cemetery contains 2,128 Commonwealth burials of the Second World War, 170 of them unidentified. There are also some non war burials and war graves of other nationalities.
The cemetery also contains 85 First World War burials, brought in from Brindisi Communal Cemetery in 1981. Most of these burials are of officers and men of the Adriatic drifter fleet which had close associations with Brindisi during the First World War.
Here's the certificate that you can obtain from the CWGC website.

Patricia is a 28-year-old financial proposal writer from New York City. She has been living with multiple sclerosis (MS) for six years.
What was your first sign that something was wrong? What symptoms did you experience?
The first sign that something was wrong occurred in February of 1996, when I was 23 years old. One day the entire right side of my body went completely numb. It started in my right foot and within an hour it progressed up to my right ear.
What was the diagnosis experience like?
When the right side of my body went numb, I went immediately to the emergency room. At first, the doctors in the ER thought I might be having a slow-paced stroke. But after doing an MRI on my brain, they diagnosed me with MS. The ER doctors prescribed steroids to speed up the healing process and referred me to specialists—neurologists and neurosurgeons—to follow up with.
I went home that same day and waited two weeks for the symptoms to subside. Because MS was so mysterious to me, the whole experience was frightening and frustrating. The doctors couldn't tell me how I got MS or what I could do to feel better. The only concrete answer I got was that there was no cure.
What was your initial and then longer-term reaction to the diagnosis?
My initial reaction to the diagnosis was complete fear. I was convinced that I would be permanently paralyzed in no time. As time went on and my symptoms (numbness, blindness, vertigo, and extreme fatigue) remitted, I realized that I had to have a healthier and more positive outlook. But six years later, I'm still fearful for my future. MS is so mysterious that I can't take anything for granted.
How do you manage your disease?
There is currently no cure for MS, but there are medications to help manage it. I take a drug called Avonex, which I inject into my muscles on a weekly basis. I started taking it three months after my diagnosis in the ER. I also try to stay as healthy as possible by living a healthful lifestyle.
Did you have to make any lifestyle or dietary changes in response to your illness?
Yes, I have made some lifestyle changes, some of which have been very difficult. I've stopped smoking, limited the fat in my diet, and limited my alcohol intake. I do yoga twice a week and have learned not to "stress out" as much as I used to. I also see an herbal doctor twice a month. I think complementing traditional medicine with "alternative" medicine is important, since many conventional doctors don't talk about things like diet and vitamins and how they factor into a healthful lifestyle.
Did you seek any type of emotional support?
Not in a formal sense. My friends and family have been wonderful and are all I need at this point.
Does your condition have any impact on your family?
It hasn't had any major impact on my family other than their concern for my health.
What advice would you give to anyone living with this disease?
Ask questions and be proactive about your health care. Beyond that, just live, love, and be healthy! There's nothing else you can do.
Interviews were conducted in the past and may not reflect current standards and practices in medicine. Talk to your doctor to learn more about how this condition is diagnosed and managed today and what treatment approaches are right for you.

Fortified with a multitude of towers and turrets, Hohenzollern Castle sits in splendour almost 900 metres above the Swabian Alb. This is a storybook fortress from the heyday of the neo-Gothic.
On a balmy summer evening in 1819, the 24-year-old Prussian Crown Prince saw the crumbling walls of his forefathers' castle and decided to have it rebuilt. The future king Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia was a clever, enterprising man with a passion for the fine arts. His heart belonged to the Middle Ages, which led him to commission leading Berlin architect Friedrich August Stüler to rebuild the castle. Stüler sought inspiration from medieval architecture in France and England, where the Gothic Revival or neo-Gothic style was very much in vogue. Building work began in 1852 and the restoration was completed in 1867. There are 140 rooms in the castle, most notably the library with its murals, the King's bedroom, a family tree hall and the Queen's Blue Salon. This has a stunning gilded coffered ceiling, an exquisite marquetry floor and portraits of Prussian queens. Prussian memorabilia displayed in the royal treasury includes the crown worn by Kaiser Wilhelm II. A painted Hohenzollern family tree adorns the walls of the castle's entrance hall. The Prussian kings, German emperors and their descendants are documented through to the present day. Nearby attractions: don't miss Ulm Münster, whose spire is the tallest in the world at just over 161 metres. Most of the building work was completed between 1377 and 1543 and it has retained its original character to this day. The town of Villingen-Schwenningen has a medieval centre, an early-Gothic minster, a late-Gothic town hall, the Franciscan Museum and a town hall to discover.
