Rayleigh quotient
In mathematics, for a given complex Hermitian matrix M and nonzero vector x, the Rayleigh quotient[1] , is defined as:[2][3]
For real matrices and vectors, the condition of being Hermitian reduces to that of being symmetric, and the conjugate transpose to the usual transpose . Note that for any non-zero real scalar c. Recall that a Hermitian (or real symmetric) matrix has real eigenvalues. It can be shown that, for a given matrix, the Rayleigh quotient reaches its minimum value (the smallest eigenvalue of M) when x is (the corresponding eigenvector). Similarly, and .
The Rayleigh quotient is used in the min-max theorem to get exact values of all eigenvalues. It is also used in eigenvalue algorithms to obtain an eigenvalue approximation from an eigenvector approximation. Specifically, this is the basis for Rayleigh quotient iteration.
The range of the Rayleigh quotient (for matrix that is not necessarily Hermitian) is called a numerical range, (or spectrum in functional analysis). When the matrix is Hermitian, the numerical range is equal to the spectral norm. Still in functional analysis, is known as the spectral radius. In the context of C*-algebras or algebraic quantum mechanics, the function that to M associates the Rayleigh-Ritz quotient R(M,x) for a fixed x and M varying through the algebra would be referred to as "vector state" of the algebra.
As stated in introduction . This is immediate after observing that the Rayleigh quotient is a weighted average of eigenvalues of M:
where is the ith eigenpair after orthonormalization and is the ith coordinate of x in the eigenbasis. It is easy to verify that the bounds are attained at the corresponding eigenvectors .
Special case of covariance matrices[edit]
An empirical covariance matrix M can be represented as the product A' A of the data matrix A pre-multiplied by its transpose A'. Being a positive semi-definite matrix, M has non-negative eigenvalues, and orthogonal (or othogonalisable) eigenvectors, which can be demonstrated as follows.
Firstly, that the eigenvalues are non-negative:
Secondly, that the eigenvectors vi are orthogonal to one another:
If the eigenvalues are different – in the case of multiplicity, the basis can be orthogonalized.
To now establish that the Rayleigh quotient is maximised by the eigenvector with the largest eigenvalue, consider decomposing an arbitrary vector x on the basis of the eigenvectors vi:
is the coordinate of x orthogonally projected onto vi. Therefore we have:
which, by orthogonality of the eigenvectors, becomes:
The last representation establishes that the Rayleigh quotient is the sum of the squared cosines of the angles formed by the vector x and each eigenvector vi, weighted by corresponding eigenvalues.
If a vector x maximizes , then any non-zero scalar multiple kx also maximizes R, so the problem can be reduced to the Lagrange problem of maximizing under the constraint that .
Define: βi = α2
i. This then becomes a linear program, which always attains its maximum at one of the corners of the domain. A maximum point will have and for all i > 1 (when the eigenvalues are ordered by decreasing magnitude).
Thus, as advertised, the Rayleigh quotient is maximised by the eigenvector with the largest eigenvalue.
Formulation using Lagrange multipliers[edit]
Alternatively, this result can be arrived at by the method of Lagrange multipliers. The problem is to find the critical points of the function
- ,
subject to the constraint I.e. to find the critical points of
where λ is a Lagrange multiplier. The stationary points of occur at
Therefore, the eigenvectors of M are the critical points of the Rayleigh Quotient and their corresponding eigenvalues are the stationary values of R.
This property is the basis for principal components analysis and canonical correlation.
Use in Sturm–Liouville theory[edit]
Sturm–Liouville theory concerns the action of the linear operator
on the inner product space defined by
of functions satisfying some specified boundary conditions at a and b. In this case the Rayleigh quotient is
This is sometimes presented in an equivalent form, obtained by separating the integral in the numerator and using integration by parts:
For a given pair (A, B) of matrices, and a given non-zero vector x, the generalized Rayleigh quotient is defined as:
The Generalized Rayleigh Quotient can be reduced to the Rayleigh Quotient through the transformation where is the Cholesky decomposition of the Hermitian positive-definite matrix B.

Sept. 26 (Bloomberg) -- China's stocks fell, dragging the benchmark index to the lowest level in more than 14 months, as comments from the central bank governor that inflation remained the nation's "top concern" fanned speculation policies to curb rising prices will slow economic growth.
Poly Real Estate Group Co. declined 4.3 percent after China Business News said the city of Chongqing will start imposing a property tax on existing villas. Ping An Insurance (Group) Co. tumbled the most since November 2008 on speculation shareholder HSBC Holdings Plc had sold stock in the company. Liquor maker Kweichow Moutai Co. dropped 3.1 percent on concern a halt on price increases will hurt earnings.
The Shanghai Composite Index, which tracks the bigger of China's stock exchanges, dropped 39.98 points, or 1.6 percent, to 2,393.18 at the 3 p.m. close, the lowest level since July 5, 2010. It lost 2 percent last week, its fourth weekly decline. The CSI 300 Index fell 2.2 percent to 2,610.92.
"Policymakers are unlikely to relax tightening policies in the short term so the market is still in the process of seeking its bottom," said Wu Kan, a fund manager at Dazhong Insurance Co., which oversees $285 million. "The market is facing lots of uncertainty and the biggest risk comes from overseas, such as the sovereign-debt problems and slowing growth in advanced economies."
Inflation Policies
The MSCI All-Country World Index of 45 nations entered a bear market last week for the first time in more than two years as the European debt crisis and threat of a U.S. recession raised concerns over global economic growth. The index sank 7.6 percent last week and has dropped 23 percent from its peak this year on May 2.
The Shanghai Composite has tumbled 15 percent this year as the government raised interest rates and reserve-requirement ratios for banks to cool inflation that's at the highest level in almost three years. The measure is valued at 11.1 times estimated profit, the lowest level on record, according to weekly data compiled by Bloomberg.
The People's Bank of China has no "immediate" ways to control inflation because it takes time for monetary policy to affect prices, Governor Zhou Xiaochuan told reporters at the International Monetary Fund in Washington over the weekend. It's "too early" to determine how emerging economies can further help the euro area overcome its sovereign debt crisis because reforms are still under way, he said.
Developers Slump
September consumer prices may rise less than the 6.2 percent increase posted last month, China Securities Journal reported, citing an unidentified analyst. Tight monetary policy has taken effect and the central bank is less likely to continue raising interest rates or required reserve ratios, it said.
A measure tracking 52 financial companies including property stocks dropped 3.3 percent today, the most among the CSI 300's 10 industry groups. China Vanke Co., the nation's biggest listed property developer, retreated 3.4 percent to 7.15 yuan, the lowest since July 8, 2010. Poly Real Estate, the second largest, slid 4.3 percent to 9.10 yuan, the lowest level since June 2. Gemdale Corp. lost 3 percent to 5.10 yuan.
The southwestern city of Chongqing will start imposing a property tax on owners of existing villas from Oct. 1, becoming the first Chinese city to tax existing homes, China Business News reported today, citing an unidentified local tax bureau official.
Villa Taxation
Some Chinese developers, likely small and medium-sized companies with over-extended balance sheets, face bankruptcy in coming months as the government tightens control on loans obtained from trust companies and as sales slow, UBS AG said in a Sept. 23 report.
Ping An, China's second-biggest insurer, slumped 9.6 percent to 34.37 yuan. Its Hong Kong-listed shares tumbled 13 percent as of 3:47 p.m., set for its biggest loss since October 2008.
"There's speculation that HSBC is selling Ping An's shares on the Hong Kong stock market," said Cao Hengqian, an analyst covering the insurance industry at GF Securities Co. in the southern city of Guangzhou. "It looks like Ping An's Shanghai- listed shares are simply following the slump on its underlying H-shares."
HSBC held 15.57 percent of Ping An as of June 30, according to the Shenzhen-based insurer's first-half report. HSBC's policy is not to comment on market speculation, Jessica Lennon, a Hong Kong-based spokeswoman at HSBC, said in an e-mailed reply to enquiries from Bloomberg News.
"We've noticed the abnormal movement in the company's shares today," Sheng Ruisheng, Ping An's spokesman, said by phone. "All business is normal at all units of the group, and there's nothing that we should disclose but haven't disclosed."
No Price Increase
Kweichow Moutai, China's biggest producer of baijiu liquor by market value, retreated 3.1 percent to 188.12 yuan, the lowest level since June 24. Wuliangye Yibin Co., China's second- biggest maker of white liquor by market value, fell 1.9 percent to 35.75 yuan. Luzhou Laojiao Co., a spirits producer in the southwestern province of Sichuan, lost 2.8 percent to 38.88 yuan.
The National Development and Reform Commission has told domestic liquor makers to halt price increases for their products, according to a Sept. 19 statement on the China Alcoholic Drinks Industry Association's website.
Investors should sell Chinese stocks on rebounds because valuations are not "compelling" in terms of book values, China International Capital Corp. said.
Price-to-book ratios are still 35 percent higher than the lows reached during the 2008 global financial crisis, Hao Hong, a global equity strategist at CICC, wrote in a report today. Investors should wait until economic fundamentals start to get better, the report said.
China Coal Energy Co., the nation's second-largest coal producer, advanced 1.1 percent to 8.86 yuan. Parent China National Coal Group bought 5.52 million shares on Sept. 22 and 5.77 million shares on Sept. 23, increasing its stake to 56.51 percent from 56.43 percent, China Coal said in a statement. The parent will continue to increase its holdings in the next 12 months, the statement said.

"Stubborn. I can even say narrow-minded. I am Aries and when I believe in something, I
never give up, I go for it. Human. People touch me and interest me. I have sometimes
the impression to be an imposture, "Isabel Marant" is always put forward, but without
all the people around me, "she" is nothing. And impatient. I want everything,
right away, every time." – Isabel Marant on her character

"I will always go to things that make me feel comfortable. Being a woman I've got a very honest eye
on woman, I don't have any fantasy. Sometimes I can create things that are beautiful but I say,
"When am I going to wear that?" Every morning when I open my cupboard I need some clothes,
I don't need some clothes to go to awards or whatever, because it's once a year." – Isabel Marant
It's about that time people! I'm really hoping for a better collection than SS13 to be honest so I'm eager to see what Isabel puts out. As you already know, I'll post the show as soon as it's
available so please write in and let me know what you think overall.

"When I see a woman wearing my clothes, I'm always amazed to see such a wide branch of kind of women that are wearing my clothes in very different ways, but I think it's one of the side of my collection I really like. It's that you can really reinterpret my clothes with your own style,
you don't have to wear it head to toe to look good. You can pick up a piece and style it in your
own way, and I think it's important to leave a space for everyone's way of life and way of
approaching garment." – Isabel Marant

"My most treasured garment is a vintage American sweatshirt from California. I have two,
in white and gray. They're like my comfort blankets. When I don't want to think about
what to wear—which is the case every morning—I put on a pair of slim corduroys
and a sweatshirt. It is my uniform. When you work with clothes all day long,
the last thing you want to do is get dressed up yourself." – Isabel Marant

Audi Replacement Drum Brakes
When it comes to unique style and durable innovation, Audi vehicles usually come out on top. Fender-benders are a part of driving a vehicle, but you can reduce the chances of being victimized by a disaster by installing and maintaining your safety components like signal lights or brakes. A Brake Drum is typically produced out of aluminum or cast iron covering and is bolted to a car's wheels. Many vehicles use a combination of disc brakes and Brake Drums, with the last one typically found on the rear of the car. Your car's Brake Drum is a part within the brake system and is connected to and spins with the car's tires. To make certain a car or truck can stop quickly enough, the reinstallation of the Brake Drum is important if it becomes worn. To be able to make your wheels of a truck come to a standstill, a Brake Drum acts just like a disc brake.

December 2005: For the first time in more than 180 years, Francis Guy's Winter Scene in Brooklyn, one of the earliest paintings to enter the Brooklyn Museum collection, will be exhibited alongside another version of the subject on loan from a private collection. The paintings, considered important historical documents of how the village of Brooklyn appeared in 1820, will be displayed together with some twelve related objects from the Museum's collection, including paintings, works on paper, furniture, ceramics, silver, and a journal written by a young woman who resided in the area during this period. Picturing Place: Francis Guy's Brooklyn, 1820 is a focused exhibition that examines ways in which art constructs community identity. It will be on view from March 20 through June 18, 2006, at the entrance to the Luce Center for American Art.
Francis Guy painted multiple versions of this Brooklyn scene shortly before his death in August 1820. In addition to the two paintings in the exhibition, there are three smaller, figureless versions (including one in summer). In 1846 Winter Scene in Brooklyn entered the collection of the Brooklyn Institute (predecessor to the Brooklyn Museum), then located on Washington Street, where in 1881 the painting was damaged in a fire. A section of about twenty-four inches on the left side of the Museum's canvas was lost, but this area is intact in the private collection painting and nineteenth-century prints.
Painted from the second-story window of his house on Front Street, Guy's two large winter scenes provide a glimpse into the burgeoning village—its bustling activity, architecture, and colorful residents. In addition to capturing Brooklyn's distinctive look, the artist tapped into the growing demand for American subjects. The exhibition situates Guy's works within the evolution of American landscape painting from picturesque scenes indebted to European artistic conventions, to topographical studies celebrating the young nation's development.
In Guy's Brooklyn paintings, people play an equally important role as the urban setting; hence, another section of the exhibition explores the identities of Brooklynites of the period who were then, as now, diverse. Guy represents this diversity in several ways: portraying a range of classes (from manual laborers to merchants), including several African Americans (some of whom were slaves), and alluding to the town's Dutch ancestry (with an old-fashioned barnyard).
Picturing Place: Francis Guy's Brooklyn, 1820 has been organized by Karen A. Sherry, Assistant Curator of American Art at the Brooklyn Museum.

Initiatives to lower costs, improve service seldom work, study finds
TUESDAY, Feb. 10 (HealthDay News) -- Only a fraction of Medicare pilot programs aimed at cutting costs and improving care for people with chronic illness actually did the job, a new study shows.
That doesn't necessarily mean that ideas like these should be abandoned altogether, however.
Based on the findings, "we should not expect these care coordination efforts to pay for themselves or to save money," said Paul Precht, director for policy and communications at the Medicare Rights Center. "But that doesn't mean they're not worth doing, because when they work right, they can deliver better health for people."
And what makes them work right?
"If you target the programs well on people who have the right level of severity of illness and types of illnesses, and you have certain features, then you can have an impact on hospitalization rates. That's the key," said study senior author Randall Brown, vice president and director of health research at Mathematica Policy Research Inc. in Princeton, N.J. Mathematica designed this pilot project.
"The more that providers and particularly the physicians are directly involved and the more the physicians are part of an integrated network that includes the other specialties, the better [a particular program] works," added Precht.
The findings were published in the Feb. 11 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Most experts agree that exploding costs and the prospect of an empty purse threaten Medicare's future. According to an accompanying editorial, Medicare expenditures will top $400 billion this year, a hefty 13 percent of the total federal budget.
One study found that in 2002, about half of beneficiaries who had been treated for five or more conditions accounted for 75 percent of total spending.

My life would be complete.

My life would be complete.
Well, I already own the tpbs of both series up to Blackest Night....
Passing on the GL omnibus for the moment, unless they release an OHC of GLC 1-13. I'll stick to the tpbs otherwise.
Was gonna dive in Doom Patrol, but then I saw Guardians of the Galaxy, and opened up the Annihilation Omnibus instead.....
Damn, didn't even know the second printing dropped already. I'll have to scoop it and the volume 2 up soon.
I think it'll be here Friday, would you rather watch a video as I open the box? Haha
Doom Patrol is on the waaaay. Stoked.
Count me in for Absolute Transmet. I'd've settled for an omnibus of a few deluxes, but beggars can't be choosers.
gave this a shot...came to about 115 USD :/
Still waiting on my Final Incal from Amazon...this is getting annoying
He also likes to take stabs at Marvel and DC, which, by all means, do so. But instead of having a social commentary on those things he takes stabs at...he kinda just does the same thing as they...
About Invincible:
I dig it up until about 50(as I did with Walking dead), but after that, it kinda falls off. The last two or three years of issues have been SHOCK SHOCK AND MORE SHOCK JUST CUZ...
Yeah man, there were a few parts like that. And the writing is top notch
I really enjoyed it. I feel the story/writing is more "literary" if you will, than some other comics. That's the best...
aaaand finished Daytripper. Guys and gals, go pick this book up. It blew me away.
Like, it's a contender for top 10 limited series.
Just started Daytripper deluxe, and dog damn this book is awesome. Halfway through in one sitting, i'll wrap it up tomorrow
I beg to differ. Invisibles anyone?
...I'll take a piss in there too.
I read them for the first time last year via UXM omnibus 1, and until Byrne started co plotting/writing/artisting, those sole Claremont issues were a bit of a...
I'd love an omnibus of they're run....but I'd honestly enjoy a Perez collection a bit more...
Just got mine in the mail too, and talked a buddy into buying it as well. Really looking forward to it, never read Sin City before(Gasp, I know, it's a...sin...)
just got escapo in the mail too, really looking forward to digging in.
The facial expressions alone- Bruce, Ralph, Ollie. Damn near perfect
I have my Definitive Irredeemable signed by Waid...he was pretty enthusiastic about putting out a volume 2 was he was signing it....that was almost 2 years ago now :/
Like other's have said, standalone. I like to view it as the spiritual sequel to Robinson's The Golden Age(Man, that was a good book too!)
I don't think they have. Anyone know what size the reprints of the Conan archives are? But I hope they continue to release Colossal Conon volume 2 at some point haha

New CHDK script for KAP - UAV for fast shutter speeds
October 2013
A new KAP script for CHDK has been published by waterwingz on the CHDK site:
The main purpose of the script is to manage all of the exposure settings so that a fast target shutter speed is maintained, thereby maximizing picture sharpness. The variables are managed independently for each picture, which provides flexibility for variable lighting conditions not available from a simple Tv mode setting. The script also provides the usual intervalometer parameters, as well as parameters for exposure compensation, zoom, fixed focus at infinity, and USB run/pause control. The hope is that you can set all these parameters in advance, and just start the script running when you launch rather than having to change camera settings manually.
The script works for cameras with any combination of adjustable iris and/or ND filter. It will run under CHDK versions 1.2 and 1.3, but in either case build 3149 or later is required.
This project grew out of previous discussions on CHDK's Custom Auto ISO function, which works in a manner similar to the new script, except that it does not manage the aperture setting.
I've been working with waterwingz for a couple weeks on this script, and I think it's pretty good, but any input on needed changes or fixes would be appreciated, either here or in the CHDK forum.
I hope the script will be useful.

In case you missed it, you may be interested in the following comments that I have posted previously :-
Michael Layefsky and others have long used the following SDM methods that give correctly exposed images at 8x normal shutter speed :-
The second method allows you to set maximum ISO.
This has been used on stratospheric balloon flights.
It does what you want the CHDK script to do.
My own tests suggest that with these small sensor cameras and with a subject essentially at infinity (which optically can be less than two metres at wide-angle !) stopping-down the aperture is undesirable.
It reduces sharpness and forces a lower shutter speed.
Bear in mind that f4 on these cameras is typically equivalent to f22 on a 35mm camera as far as depth-of-field (that you do not need) is concerned.
The SDM strategy is to force the ND filter out and set aperture to maximum.
October 2013
Thanks so much, David, for your encouragement and support.
October 2013
Thanks wayback! I'll test this script as soon as possible! Unfortunately I have no idea when that is, the weather seems quite sucky this week and sunlight very limited. I hope for next weekend. But the script looks nice, good work.
David Sykes
October 2013
It may be useful to provide hard evidence as to why I say shutter speed and iso alone can deal with all practical shooting conditions.
Consider the following settings from a user in Las Vegas in very bright conditions :-
Bv96 = 900 (brightness)
Sv96 = 465 (100 ISO real)
Tv96 = 1148 (1/4000 sec)
Av96 = 363 (f3.7 real)
In other words, aperture fully open in very bright light.
Most shooting conditions will be in dimmer light where shutter speed needs to be reduced and/or ISO increased.
There is no reason to change the aperture (that is, make it physically smaller).
For cameras with an ND filter that is obviously ALWAYS forced out.
October 2013
In my experience with my A590is, mid-range apertures seem to be a bit sharper than either wide open or completely stopped down. So I would prefer to shoot at something like f/3.5 or f/4.0 since that produces better pictures for me. But that's a preference, and for KAP in particular I would be willing to go wide open if it means I don't have to slow down the shutter speed, which is the most important determinant of getting sharp pictures. The script manages those decisions automatically based on the user's parameter settings and the algorithms described in detail in the wiki linked to above.
The new script has the advantage of letting me set value preferences and ranges for all exposure components - shutter speed, ISO, and aperture or ND filter. Someone who believes the aperture setting has no effect on sharpness can set his aperture preference to wide open and shoot on that basis, and he may still benefit from other features found in the script. Or if he doesn't want to use the script, he can lock his aperture to wide open and just use the Custom Auto ISO function found in the CHDK menu, which works much as the script does, but without any aperture control.
So the script offers the user a good bit of flexibility to set the exposure preferences the way *he* wants to, without locking them in stone, and it provides within the script a few settings that normally require manual camera settings, such as going into manual focus, then setting focus to infinity, or zooming to a particular point. In fact, if you use auto-run, everything would be automatic - you would only have to hit the power button to turn on the camera.
By the way, I should mention that for my A590is, and presumably the A570is, the Focus setting "MF2" in the parameters is the one that works to go to manual focus at infinity. Or if you want to use autofocus, just set that preference to "Off".
October 2013
OK, updated CHDK version and installed the script. Looks good. Now just waiting for airtime. :D
October 2013
I hope you get some good wind, Henrik. Let me know how the script works for you.
October 2013
Alrighty, I had a test drive today! :)
The wind was scary, but I had set my mind to test this, so I did.
It was bumpy ride, so I decided to target 1/1000.
Relevant settings that I used:
Av Mode: Iris
Target Tv: 1/1000
Tv Max: 1/2000
Lowest Av: 2.8
Target Av: 4.0
Highest Av: 8.0
ISO Min: 80
ISO Max1: 100
ISO Max2: 200
I deliberately kept the ISOs low.
I'm very happy with the results. Even though the light was already so low, that every pic was with f/2.8, I think the readings are consistent. And the exposure is as good as it gets with this camera (A640). Clouds over exposed mostly, but that's a metering issue, I think I have to set exposure compensation down a bit, and that'll do the trick. There was couple pics with 1/1000 and ISO 120, so quite close already to switch to f/3.5 or so, but not enough light. Exposure range in the captured pics was from 1/320 to 1/1000.
All in all, I'm very happy with this. It's clear, easy and it works. Thanks Wayback! :)
All saved pics from the trip:
October 2013
I'm glad it worked for you. The pictures look sharp, which was the primary goal.
October 2013
Anxious to try it also with my A810, which has only ND filter, no iris. :)
October 2013
Thank you for a very nice script!
I used it today with a powershot 230HS to shoot theese images:
I only changed the frequency and used the ND filter setting. The images were much better than last attempt.
October 2013
Does the script allow the focus to be set by hyperfocal distance (based on f /stop and zoom focal-length)?
Photos taken with an A590 using the hyperfocal distance are sharper than using infinity.
October 2013
The current script does not have a hyperfocal focus option but it would be easy to add to the next release if you think that would be valuable?
Edit :
I should probably also point out that the ability of CHDK to successfully set a manual focus varies somewhat with camera model. The script allows you to select from all the methods discovered so far (trial & error) to see which one might work for your camera. If one of the methods works then hyperfocal distance selection is possible.
October 2013
bisenberger, do you use CHDK to set the focus to the hyperfocal distance? I've never played with that on my A590, but testing the various focus distances you can get manually on the camera, I haven't found that the next step closer from infinity, which I think is 20 ft, is any better than infinity for sharpness.
If you're not using any zoom, and the aperture is f2.6, what is the hyperfocal distance?
October 2013
Hi waterwingz,
I just upgraded my CHDK in my PS A590is to Ver 1.2.0-3192 an loaded the script, but when I start the script I get the following error: bad argument
to ´set_prop´ (number expected, got nil) and the script gets terminated.
What I'm missing?
Any help is really appreciated.
Dave Mitchell
October 2013
when you did the upgrade to CHDK did you update the CHDK folder? There should be a LUALIB subfolder with a file called 'propcase.lua' and a subfolder in that called GEN with various propset files (propset1.lua etc). The set_prop command needs to access that stuff.
October 2013
Just managed to upgrade CHDK to 1.2 on one of my A2300's and loaded the KAP UAV script. Seems to work except the MF4 setting causes CHDK to stall.
October 2013
Getting manual focus to work properly with CHDK is a bit "hit or miss". The method needed varies a lot from camera to camera unfortunately so the script includes all the methods most commonly used. Not all will work - you have to do a little "trial & error" to see what works for your camera.
October 2013
As Dave said, if you're updating to a new major version of CHDK, such as 1.1 or earlier to 1.2, or 1.2 to 1.3, you want to download from the "Complete" column on the downloads page, not the "Small" column. Delete all the old CHDK stuff on the card, in both the root directory and the CHDK folder, then replace it with the Complete stuff, plus of course the new KAP script, which goes in the Scripts subfolder.
October 2013
Thank you very much Dave and wayback!!
I just did what you said and the script worked without any problem!
November 2013
waterwingz, yes hyperfocal distance would be a valuable option.
wayback, yes I use CHDK to set the hyperfocal distance. On the version of CHDK I've been using if your A590 is in manual focus mode (with ALT on) pressing the down button sets MF distance to hyperfocal distance. The resulting image is sharper than when it's set to infinity. The A590 is still and excellent KAP camera.
November 2013
The following is from the CHDK April 2009 user guide.
More keys and shortcuts:
In manual focus mode - (with ALT)
Up – Set MF to infinity
Down – to set MF distance to hyperfocal distance (based on f/stop and zoom focal-length).
Left – Decrease Value Factor,
Right – Increase Value Factor.
November 2013
I've now tried this lua script on both my A640 and G7 and I am very impressed. I've yet to test it on my IR converted A640.
The addition of hyperfocal distance to the script would for me be the icing on the cake. When taking full fish eye images and using the zoom to fill the view finder, it would hopefully ensure better definition in the images especially towards the edges of the image. I know the quality of the optics figures here too but it would help.
To understand the problem this site has an online
Depth of Field Calculator
which not only gives numbers but graphics to complement your entered data. Using my data you can see by the graphics how setting the focal length/hyperfocal distance can affect the image outcome.
Data: Canon A640, Focal Length 5.8mm (29.2x0.2=5.84 [0.2=fish eye value]), f-stop f/4
approx vertical height 150 feet.
The site also has an extensive list of
Circles of Confusion
for most cameras as well as a calculator.
Further explanation in my case using fish-eye. The problem is I need to over-ride the camera doing its own thing while range-finding. The circumference of the lens impedes on the camera's sensors, giving erroneous readings. The manual setting is such a fiddle and therefore errors when setting up. The ability to dial it in once and for all is attractive.
November 2013
Thanks for the links toadstone, very handy!
Like wayback, I found the sweet spot on my A590 IS to be around f/4.0.
November 2013
If the focus lock is set to off in the script, and you use CHDK to set the focus to hyperfocal distance before running the script the photos will be taken at the hyperfocal distance. You will want to make sure Iris is not enabled for AV Mode in the script, as different apertures will affect the hyperfocal distance.
Really cool script!
November 2013
I have been playing around sometime with hyperfocal distance with my A590is and my experience is that if you set the focus in the hyperfocal distance, although it is technically true that you get the maximum depth of field possible, the sharpness in "infinite" would be almost not acceptable.
And usually focusing in the hyperfocal distance it is not needed while doing KAP since you don't have a lot of objects too close to the kite even, if you are taking pictures of other kites.
Plase take a look to the table below.
I hope this helps.
PS: For some reason I can't include the picture of the table :-(
November 2013
Here's a comparison between infinite and hyperfocal focus with safety MF both off and on. Safety MF makes a big difference on hypefocal.
f/4.0 - 1/800 - ISO 80
November 2013
As I see it, the infinite picture is sharper at the far end than the hyperfocal picture, which is what I would expect.
You can't really tell anything from the safety MF pics because safety MF is actually autofocus, and since you have both near and far objects in the frame, you don't really know what it's focusing on each time.
If the hyperfocal distance is, say, 10 feet, then focus is perfect only at 10 feet. Nearer or farther away, the subjects may still appear to be in focus, but really they are just not enough out of focus to be recognized as such. But still, focus is always best at the nominal subject distance, and deteriorates as you move away from that distance. That's why I think infinity is almost always the better choice for KAP.
Waterwingz can do as he likes, but I just don't think building in a hyperfocal setting into the script would be useful for the great majority of KAPpers. Might be more useful for UAV though.
David Sykes
November 2013
The above is not a valid test.
"the subjects may still appear to be in focus, but really they are just not enough out of focus to be recognized as such."
Which means they ARE in focus under those viewing conditions.
The point is, the magnified views in the images above represent a different set of viewing conditions.
For the magnified images viewed at the same distance, the 'circle-of-confusion' would be smaller and the hyperfocal distance would be different than that used.
It would move closer to infinity.
I agree there is no point having a hyperfocal option.
If you are using a wide-angle setting with a UAV then it is not needed there either.
Anything beyond one metre is at infinity anyway.
As for aperture, that should not be variable but fixed at your determined optimum value.
In the case of my S95 that is fully open.
Just change shutter speed and ISO, that is all that is needed.
Keep it simple ............
November 2013
The photos were all taken from the same location on a tripod at f/4.0 - 1/800 - ISO 80. The only difference between the images were the focus set at hyperfocal and infinite and the Safety MF setting. The posted image is a screen capture from Adobe Bridge Review Mode. The Loupe tool is a feature of Review Mode that lets you compare areas of different images at 100% magnification (1:1). For more information on Adobe Bridge Review Mode and the Loupe tool see this link.
I agree that it looks like hyperfocal distance is of little value for KAP.
I've notice with my cameras that the sweet spot is around the middle of Aperture range. I prefer to use the AV setting for KAP with lower ISO to avoid noise in shadow areas.
November 2013
I think that you will find that most cameras have a f stop sweet spot. For example my DSLR Canon EOS 450d with kit lens is f8. Max. 5.6 - Min. f36. However in the context of KAP and the smaller cameras we use, we are limited to the available stops and the balance between higher shutter speeds, and ISO etc. so this script is a real God send for setting everything up before hand, without forgetting something in the field.
November 2013
Waterwingz has released version 1.2 of this script. The link to the file is shown on the wiki entry:
This version cleans up some minor issues with focusing at infinity and USB control, and adds 1/640 second as a target Tv option. However, the exposure calculation logic has not changed.
He has also clarified and simplified some of the wiki text.
In my testing, I've found it very helpful to have in the script all of the settings I previously had to do manually, such as going into manual focus and setting subject distance to infinity, while at the same time dealing with the Picavet and the kite. Now I can set the script parameters and camera settings in advance, turn on autorun, and the script will begin executing just by hitting the power button.
I also think we have the logic right for exposure control - maintaining a fast shutter speed, but providing flexibility in case that's needed to get the shot. The wiki describes the specific logic used for exposure.
I really appreciate the time and effort Waterwingz devoted to writing this script and the wiki entry. I was able to help with testing, but almost all the code, and certainly all of the expertise, was his. I hope the script will be useful.
November 2013
Thanks again,
for this! I'll update to 1.2 asap. 1/640 sounds good addition to the Tv target range. Too bad the active KAPing season is already way behind... :(
November 2013
Perfect! thanks Waterwingz.
December 2013
Just a quick note to let everyone know the script was updated to version 1.3 today. The change is to correctly handle the ND filter on cameras that do not have a user adjustable aperture. The download link is here :
On a related note, the CHDK wiki has nice page showing all the camera variations by model that affect what CHDK can do :
December 2013
Sweet, perfect timing! I just picked up an A3400 from a holiday deal and was just getting started experimenting with the previous version. I'll switch to this new one and start learning. Thanks for the updated script!
December 2013
Hello Waterwingz and thanks again for your efforts in helping the community.
Questions : is there a way to force a minimum speed ? I can only see a target and max speed but no minimum
December 2013
philgib : currently the script will hold the target Tv (shutter speed) until the aperture has been opened all the way, the ND filter is out, and the ISO setting has been raised to ISOMAX2. Only at that point will it start to decrease the shutter speed - to maintain the correct exposure. I'm guessing that your request to set a low limit to the shutter speed is because you can adjust somewhat for the resulting underexposed image with post processing, but you can't fix any blur resulting from the shutter speed being too low? That makes sense.
I've had a couple of other requests for additional script features. I'll roll this one in too and post back here when the next update is complete.
December 2013
Script updated to v1.4 per user requests.
Changes include :
1) Addition of a minimum Tv setting to limt the slowest shutter speed that the script can use. In low lighting situations, this can lead to underexposed images that may need to be fixed in post processing but that's probably better than having correctly exposed blurred images.
2) Addition of an option to power the camera completely off when the specified number of shots has been taken.
3) Clean up to the text console to block less of the LCD image area.
December 2013
Thanks, keeps getting better and better! :)
December 2013
Excellent! Thanks waterwingz.
December 2013
Updated today to v1.5.
This version uses a new CHDK command that completely turns off the LCD display rather than the old command that just temporarily turned off the backlight. It requires a recent CHDK release - either the stable 1.2.0 version or the development 1.3.0 version.
Edit : older version of this script (v1.4) archived here :
kap_uav.lua v1.4
January 29
FINALLY I got the change to try out this script in action. Used the old 1.3 version, but it worked just fine! Perfect!
Too bad I set the target speed only to 1/1000, and the wind was blowing 10m/s. Also A810 is really noisy at ISO 200 and up, next time I'll just set the hard limit to 100 or max 200. Also the ND filter seems to introduce some smoothness to the picture. :(
: Hope you got that sunny weather already in Michigan, like I was enjoying today! :) Though -10 C @ 10m/s isn't that tempting combination. Young drivers had fun on the ice with cars...
Click on the pic for couple more pics:
January 29
, today was our first sunny day up here in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula with wind in weeks! It was very chilly though, with wind chills hitting -30°F (-34°C) at my first KAP spot. I took off work to take advantage of the sun/wind combo to fly at a couple spots. I kept my A3400 shelved for today, didn't want to risk it crashing into the snow.
January 29
Very nice! :) One nice thing about kiting, is that you most of the time face away from the wind, not against it, so your face doesn't freeze that much. :)
March 22
The CHDK
script has now been updated to version 2.2.
Principal changes include interleaved video recording options, more robust and simpler focus at infinity options, automatic camera ND filter / aperture detection, and
much much more
. Script documentation and download links are here :
To make things simple, all script configurations have good defaults. You can simply download, install, and run the script and expect good results with no additional modifications. Not complicated at all.
But if you need to tweak things to your preferences (and who doesn't?) then the capability is there.
Comments, request for features, and (heavens forbid) bug reports are welcome here, or on the CHDK forum :
March 24
Thanks for the new version, waterwings. I think the video interleave is particularly nifty. If nothing else, it will show how much the camera is moving around up there.
May 30
An updated version of this script (v3.0) is now available.
The script now includes several USB control modes in addition to its standard advanced exposure control and intervalometer functions.
New USB modes include :
1) USB control off (ignored)
2) USB control enables / disables intervalometer shooting
3) USB triggers a single shot each time the USB power is pulsed
4) USB controls more advanced camera functions ( shoot, zoom, lens in/out ) via a PWM device like the Gentles gentWIRE-USB2
Other updates include some minor cosmetic tweaks and logging of a bit more information about the initial camera state (for debugging user issues).
As always, up-to-date documentation and download links are available here :
CHDK KAP_UAV Exposure Control Script Wikia Page
June 14
Updated to v3.1. I found a way to "help" some of the rare camera models that don't like to focus at infinity after setting zoom position.
Same download links as before.
June 15
Sounds great
I'm still using 2.4 it seems, but maybe it's time to upgrade.
Btw, would it be easy to implement some sort of cycling zoom position setting? I.e. have at least two zoom positions, which would be cycled through the shots? Of course, zooming constantly in and out would drain the battery fast, but would be interesting feature. Now when I think of it, I guess the "normal" interval script had such a feature?

Definitions for garlic bread
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word garlic bread
Princeton's WordNet
garlic bread(noun)
French or Italian bread sliced and spread with garlic butter then crisped in the oven
garlic bread(Noun)
Bread made with garlic often served with pasta dishes.
Garlic bread
Garlic bread consists of bread topped with garlic and olive oil or butter. It is then either grilled or broiled until toasted, or baked in an oven. It is typically made using a baguette which is partially sliced downwards, allowing the condiments to soak into the loaf while keeping it in one piece. The bread is then stuffed through the cuts with oil and minced garlic before baking. Alternatively, butter and garlic powder are used, or the bread is cut into separate slices which are individually garnished. Some variants are topped with a variety of cheeses, often mozzarella, Cheddar or feta. Some restaurants use clarified butter in place of olive oil. Garlic bread has appeared on U.S. restaurant menus since at least 1947. The best-selling garlic breads in the United States today are Texas Toasts, such as those made by New York Frozen Foods. Commercially manufactured frozen garlic bread was developed in the 1970s by Cole's Quality Foods in Michigan. In Brazil the bread is commonly served in churrascarias as an entrée.

Solitario Secures US$5.0 Million Credit Facility Agreement With RMB Australia Holdings
Solitario Exploration & Royalty Corp. ("Solitario;" NYSE MKT: XPL; TSX: SLR) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a US$5.0 million secured credit facility agreement (the "Facility") with RMB Australia Holdings Limited ("RMB"). The use of proceeds from the Facility will be to advance Solitario's Mt. Hamilton gold project in Nevada and for general corporate purposes.
Chris Herald, President and CEO of Solitario, stated: "This Facility strengthens Solitario's financial position to advance the Mt. Hamilton project through permitting to construction. We are also pleased that another quality financial institution recognized the robust economics of the Mt. Hamilton project. We look forward to building a strong relationship with RMB as the project advances."
Funds drawn on the Facility will bear interest at the rate of the 90-day LIBOR rate plus 5%. The current applicable 90-day LIBOR rate is approximately 0.44%. The Facility has a 36-month term with interest paid quarterly. In connection with the Facility, Solitario paid a 5.0% upfront fee and issued RMB 1,624,748 warrants, each warrant entitling RMB to purchase one common share of Solitario at an exercise price of US$1.5387 per share (a 23% premium to the prior close) for the three-year period after their issuance. The Facility is secured by a pledge of Solitario's 80% interest in the Mt. Hamilton joint venture and by a general security interest in most of Solitario's remaining assets. The facility agreement has no prepayment penalty.
About Mount HamiltonSolitario released a feasibility study on the Centennial gold-silver deposit in February 2012 showing favorable economics for an open pit operation with heap leach extraction. Once in operation, the mine is expected to produce 48,000 ounces of gold and 330,000 ounces of silver annually for eight years (or 54,000 gold-equivalent ounces per year at a 55:1 silver to gold ratio). The project has excellent potential to add additional resources and extend the mine life. Currently three drill rigs are operating on the project in the Seligman mineralized area. Solitario owns an 80% interest in the project and is the project manager.

This is a nice bubblegum pink color. This color is lovely on its own or worn with MAC Funtabulous Dazzleglass.
More reviews by ConcreteGoddess
Really pretty cool pink. I think it's one of MACs best pink lipsticks. I think it brightens up my face and looks really nice paired with lilac toned gloss.
More reviews by evillittlekitten
I got a wild hair a few months back and purchased all the "staple" MAC pinks. Of them, Lovelorn is by and far my favorite.
I don't have very pigmented lips, so one swipe is enough to give me flushed- and healthy-looking lips: perfect for low-key summer days. It's easily one of the few lipsticks that make me look radiant.
If you're not looking for a subdued pink lip, you can build up the color easily for an all-out "girly" pink -- just know that the blue undertones in this lipstick are strong, and anyone with warm skin is going to look a little goofy.
Overall, it's a beautiful and versatile pink, best suited for cool skintones. This lipstick has been my companion all summer, so 5 lippies from me. =)

I love this lipstick! When I first saw it, I thought it was going to be super dramatic and be too bright, but since it's a lustre it's great for everyday and I fell in love. It's not completely sheer and it does make a statement but as soon as I put it on it brightens my face and the color is so cheery. On the MAC website it describes it as "a blue-toned emotive pink" It doesn't have too much of a blue undertone, but I do notice my teeth look slightly whiter when I wear it. This is without question one of my favorite pink lipsticks!
I bought this lipstick because I didnt want something too too pinky. I'm in nc 30 skintone. It looks good and compliments my skin well. I pair it with boy bait Cremesheen
Swapped for this lipstick, and am so glad I did! I have so many favorite blushes in this color, I feel like this is the lipstick equivalent that I didn't even know how much I wanted until now! I just looked it up so I could be sure it wasn't a limited edition lipstick : ) I am NC15, and it's the kind of pink that makes me want to put on a little extra bronzer and wear lime green or something kinda vibrant to match the beautiful depth of this pink. Looks very pigmented yet natural on me, and I am excited to wear it out of the house, day or night! : )
i chose this shade when i traded my 6 empty bottles under the MAC recycle programme. since i had always had my eyes on the Lady Gaga Version but you couldn't redeem those for the GLAM line, i decided this was the closest shade to it. and boy i have had no regrets. lovely pink, can be worn on its own, or to tone down GLAM Cyndi's shade down. I love this one too!!

I initially went into my MAC store planning on buying Angel but I saw this lipstick and I immediately forgot about all about it. This lipstick is so beautiful and goes on incredibly smooth. It also lasts a pretty long time which makes it that much more amazing. It's the perfect pink color for everyday and looks great alone or with gloss over it. I reccommend this to everyone who loves pink lipsticks and I will be repurchasing again.
this is my first ever mac l/s. i was abroad and was just browsing at the counter when the s.a. recommended this baby. i immediately fell i love with the shade. i am not into lipstick, more of a lipbalm person but this started my love for mac l/s. too bad this isn't available at our local mac counter but i can always ask for friends who goes abroad every now and then to buy me this l/s. my only gripe is that it only last for 3-4 hours on me since i usually drink lots of water.

LeAnn Rimes Talks About Her Teeth Falling Out
LeAnn Rimes, who plays Hard Rock Cafe Tampa on Friday night, talked to Dave & Veronica this morning.
CLICK HERE for concert info!
When LeAnn answered the phone, she sounded a bit out of it. She wasn't tired… LeAnn admitted that she was a little under the weather from having a tooth pulled! LeAnn Rimes has been dealing with tooth issues for the last two years!! Between surgeries and tooth loss, it's been frustrating for her. She gets pretty candid about it during the interview.
Dave played some classic audio for LeAnn from an interview she did when she was just 14 years old. (You have to hear how different she sounds!) LeAnn reminisces about what it was like to be a kid in an adult world.
Click the interview below to hear LeAnn give a preview of her upcoming VH1 show… and she talks about why people take her waaaaaaay too seriously!!

Can't link on my phone but John Cleese is in hot water after breaking his month long Twitter silence to make a Oscar Pistorius joke. Something about Oscar's best defense is that he was absolutely legless at the time of the shooting.
Perhaps this does deserve its own thread. First appearance tomorrow and funny business is looking likely.

Check out the Astronomy thread for unreal sonic boom vids of that Meteor.
This is my favourite so far.

Its the same thing that happened in tunguska, fact fans. A meteor falls and then explodes before it hits the ground.
Apparently, it happens more than you would think, at least once a year.

The video on the Sun page shot from the car is crazy.
This signature intentionally left blank.
Hmm, I'd assumed the 'explosions' here were actually the reverse sonic booms as the now fragmented meteor parts decelerated through the sound barrier. But on the news just now they reported that it was unsure whether the damage was caused by the meteor exploding, or it hitting the ground - no mention of sonic booms at all.
Cubby didn't know how to turn off sigs!
On seeing that headline, I wondered for a moment what the famous manufacturers of brown sauce had done to upset Mr Checker
In other news, a slimy Tory lord who got done for fiddling his expenses successfully sued the police for a separate arrest related to other expenses dubiousness, and wins. I don't know the full details of this, but my first instinct is that it smells awful dodgy to me.

Standing in the fitting room with my 8 year old daughter, she turns to me and says, "Mom, it looks like your tummy has a permanent smile!" Never heard rolls be so affectionately viewed!!
I have friends and family.
I have a good job that keeps me interested and pays well.
I am married to a wonderfully supportive husband.
I have a strong and healthy body that allows me to work and play at whAtever I want to do.
I have a great partner at work who's abilities complement my own.
I have been to most of the states, and 3 different countries.
I have great kids
I have a supportive husband
I can run 5 miles
My friend told me that a couple days ago. In theory I agree, when you've achieved the result you want you can move on. Trouble is that the mirror is decieving, I've learned from experience that my Fat Goggles are permanently attached to my face, I'm used to disecting my body and seeing the excess around the middle, the thighs I've never been happy with. I find I can look at the girl in the picture and separate myself a little better - even though I know it's me, I can see results; even moreso if I have last week's and last month's picture to compare.

Ask Fortune
Senior Member
"Cool, nice." Sarah said, feeling it with the backs of her fingers. "Should help with wind chill up on that mountain, right? Dunno how you can live up there."
Sarah smirked slightly, looking around the rest of the store.
"Got anything else in mind?" She asked. "I got you in a body suit, I'm good."
Snowy Poro
Leona simply rolled her eyes at the last comment before walking back in the changing room and reemerging a few minuets later, the suit slung over her shoulder
"Well.. I was thin-" Leona was cut off by the growl of her stomach "....would you like to get something to eat?" she then asked with a smile
Sarah pointed accusingly at Leona's stomach, and smirked wide.
"Well it looks like you do!" She said, amused. "Yeah sure, we can eat. Better pay for that first, though. This is Demacia, they'll kill you."
She knew this would draw the ire of the nearby customers, and she just smirked at the nasty looks.
Leona shook her head before going to the counter and paying for the suit, giving more money than it was actually worth. She then led Fortune out, back to the streets of Demacia before turning to her
"So.. what is a good place to eat around here?" Leona asked
"I actually don't know." Sarah said, glancing around. "I've been here a few times, but I've never bothered with a sit-down meal. I dunno... Shyvana's always going on about that diner near the market square. Wanna see if we can find it?"
"Sounds delightful"
Leona said with a nod of approval before heading that way
Sarah led the way, remembering what Shyvana spoke about. Apparently, the diner was a mortar and brick establishment on the edge of the market square, facing the foot traffic. The pair circled the square, until they did indeed find a diner.
"I guess this is it?" Sarah asked rhetorically. "Looks decent enough."
Sarah led the way inside, and calmly took a seat in a booth. Hopefully, a waitress would be by soon.
Leona followed suit and took a seat across from Fortune "Seems nice enough" she said, looking around at the building
A waitress did indeed come to the table, eyes wide with surprise.
"Leona! Miss Fortune!" She exclaimed. "I... wow! It's such an honor to meet you two!"
"Of course it is." Sarah replied, with a smirk. "Nah I kid, nice to meet ya too."
The waitress absently dropped the menus on the table, starstruck.
Leona nodded "hello" to the waitress "A pleasure" She then picked up the menu and began looking it over

One of the services I give to each client is access to their personal case file via MyCase. MyCase is an online "client management" system that allows me to give clients access to their documents, notify them of calendared events (and whether they must attend), and enable clients to upload important documents to me, as well. It's great.
But there's another important benefit of using MyCase or systems like it–it's private. MyCase has a messaging function that allows you, the client, to send me private messages. These messages are therefore protected by the attorney-client privilege. What does that mean? It means that without a court order, the opposing side can't get access to your communications with me.
That's simply not true about email or social media posts or even text messages. A party can ask to "discover" all your emails and even though I can object to their discovery, the court then has to consider the scope of the emails and why they should be privileged. If your email is actually your employer's email address, then you are in for more problems because you really don't have a right to privacy as to those accounts.
So you really don't want to mix your "legal" messages/emails with other communications that could be the subject of a discovery request. Instead, use MyCase to send important messages to me and I'll reply in the same way. That way, your communications to me stay between us.

The thrill is still there and you don't have to be scared of what others think of you which i'm sorry seems to be an issue. ill show you the ropes my closet skimboard bretheran.
