Progress Report toward Independent Identity
Last September's cover story examined the Identity Metasystem, proposed by Kim Cameron and his team at Microsoft, in support of personal identities that are independent of any vendor's silo. Microsoft's inaugural member of the Identity Metasystem is an identity selector called InfoCard and is due for inclusion in Vista when that operating system arrives in 2007. (It will be back-implemented for XP as well.)
Since then, the Identity Gang has grown in number, and it has held a series of meetings and workshops where progress has been dramatic and encouraging. In a meeting at Harvard in December 2005, Paul Trevithick of Social Physics introduced Higgins, a framework for building user-centric identity-enabled services. At the Internet Identity Workshop in January 2006 in Berkeley, creators of OpenID, LID and XRI/XDI joined various pieces to create Yadis: a new and simple combined lightweight identity system. At the Mountain View IIW in May 2006, a large conference room was packed with participants from Red Hat, Higgins, Identity Commons, XRI/XDI, the IETF, LID, Novell/SUSE, VeriSign, Tucows, OpenID and other interested parties, to engage Kim Cameron and Mike Jones of Microsoft—and to talk about open-source implementations of InfoCard.
That conversation has since been formalized in a series of phone calls and a mailing list called OSIS (Open Source Identity Selector). A report on the first of the weekly OSIS conference calls began with this:
We reaffirmed that the initial goal of the project is to build InfoCard selector implementations for non-Windows platforms that are compatible with the Microsoft implementation, with targets possibly including GNOME, KDE, Mac and mobile devices.
We agreed that the goal is to move quickly, enabling deployment of interoperable implementations by the time that Windows Vista ships.
Since then, progress has been so rapid and varied (within and between different participants) that it's hard to follow exactly what's going on. When I asked Paul Trevithick to summarize it for Linux Journal readers, he wrote back:
The situation is extremely fluid. The Red Hats, Novells, independents and others are all bouncing around trying to understand what's really going on.
There are now at least three efforts afoot that as either a total or a partial goal include creating an open-source capability to interoperate fully with Microsoft's InfoCard system and especially the specific ways that it uses WS-Trust and related protocols:
1) OSIS: effort appears to be defined as a clone of Microsoft's InfoCard software but for Mac and Linux.
2) Higgins: one of the highest priorities is to provide full interoperability with Microsoft's InfoCard and thereby to provide equivalent functionality on non-Windows platforms. (Higgins also has goals that are beyond authentication and security, and it will support other protocols.)
3) The UNC Lab of Information Integration, Security and Privacy Project (www.sis.uncc.edu/LIISP) under Dr Gail-Joon Ahn, which was presented at IIW2006.
...and there may be others. Kim has stated that Microsoft will provide technical support to any and all groups to enable them to achieve interoperability.
Two additional points. First, Dr Ahn's implementation is ready in advance of Microsoft's own. (To an enthusiastic reception by Microsoft folks at the May 2006 IIW, where the system was demonstrated.) Second, I know of at least one commercial InfoCard-compatible implementation, which should be ready by the time this issue is published.
Phil Windley, author of Digital Identity (O'Reilly, 2005) and an organizer of the Internet Identity Workshops, said:
For us to have a metasystem, we need identity selectors for Linux desktops, Macs and other platforms. It's impressive that the identity community accepts Kim Cameron's vision—that there needs to be interoperability. It's Kim's political acumen that enables this. He just put out the Laws and said, "Here's a system that obeys these, and it's open." It's important that InfoCard isn't Microsoft Kool-Aid. If Microsoft stopped, all this other stuff could keep working.
I've been impressed, all through this process, at how committed all these different development projects are to staying open toward each other, in the general directions where they might converge. For example, InfoCard and Yadis are solutions to different problems, yet there are design decisions both communities can make today that will be interoperable at some point in the future when their uses overlap.
As we know too well, being open source doesn't prevent market-halting incompatibilities and failures to interoperate. Why, other than adherence to principles of niceness, are all these projects working to keep things from breaking as they grow in converging directions?
Phil Windley says there may be a couple of subtle reasons. First, "Sometime early last year, the competing participants got to the point where they said, 'We don't have to be enemies. We can work together.'" Second:
Some of the developers realized that relying parties—say, any Web site that has to rely on an identity credential from an identity provider—don't have to support different systems. It's the identity provider—the Amazons and Googles and eBays of the world—that will have to play in all those systems, if they want to be in the game. They have the incentive, as well as the ability, to interoperate. If you're Amazon, and want your customers' identities to be useful across a lot of Web sites, you have an incentive to interoperate. Now look at it the other way around. If the relying parties needed this, and not the identity providers, interop would always be "someday".
Instead, I think we're likely to see user-centric "independent" identity in widespread use sometime in the next two years.

In a too short, figure hugging red dress, Selena Gomez left the world agog, yesterday, on July 17th , at the red carpet of ESPY 2013 Awards. Coupled with wavy hair, red hot lips, and smoky eyes she stood out amongst the myriad celebrities who graced the award event. What's more, the "Come and Get It" star signature smile was difficult to get eyes off!
The sports star studded event at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles saw Gomez in her sexiest look till date. The 20 year old, not only matched her lips with her scarlet red dress but her nails were painted in red too. To bring out her eyes she used dark smoky eyeliner and lengthened her eye lashes.
And indeed the leggy lass could not have looked better without her enviable glowing skin. Though we wonder where she gets it from, as earlier in the day she tweeted a pic of her getting prepare for the award show.
She wrote, "Eating KFC getting ready for the ESPYs tonight". Kudos to her for gorging on fried chicken and still stealing the show!
Selena not only was happy about being present at the ESPY awards but she also earned a nomination for a MTV VMA for a Best Pop Video.
Apart from her scintillating looks at the red capet, Selena told Ryan Seacrest at an exclusive interview with E! that she wants a one big happy family and at that time here professional plans would take a back seat.She told him, "Until it comes time to have a family, that's when everything will probably slow down. "I mean, I'm Latin. So, obviously when that time comes I'll decide, but of course I like having a big family." ( Is that means lots of babies?)
Wow! Girl you are all set to conquer the world. Wishing you luck for your big plans and keep rocking those looks.

The extreme pressures within supersized versions of Earth could help develop magnetic fields that would protect life from radiation by developing magnesium oxide and transforming it into liquid metal, according to a study in the journal Science. "Our results show that the usual assumption that planetary magnetic fields originate exclusively in iron cores is too limiting. Magnetic fields might also form within planetary mantles," said R. Stewart McWilliams, lead author and a geophysicist at the Carnegie Institution of Washington.

In a major international study led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, the targeted therapy ibrutinib continues to show remarkable promise for the treatment of relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Researchers have discovered and mapped the signaling network between two previously unconnected proteins, exposing a link that, if broken, could cut off cancer cell growth at its starting point.
Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have completed a phase II clinical trial to determine the safety and efficacy of dasatinib for patients with higher-risk myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, or acute myeloid leukemia resulting from MDS and have failed treatment with azanucleosides.

One of the most successful Medocs of the vintage, Cos d'Estournel's 1993 exhibits an opaque dark purple color, and a heady, sweet, pure, blackcurrant bouquet that roars from the glass. With surprising richness, fat, and glycerin, tasters would never suspect that this medium-bodied, elegant yet authoritatively-flavored wine emerged from such a difficult vintage. The wine's low acidity and roundness guarantees 12-14 years of drinkability. This is a splendid success in an irregular vintage. Cos d'Estournel is clearly producing wines that are often of first-growth potential.

text: A TRADITION OF HIGH QUALITY HANDBAGS AHEAD OF THE TIMES Since its formation in 1978, Stone Mountain Accessories has become a benchmark for the highest quality handbags at moderate prices. Owners Kenny Orr and Dave Hauck have made the Stone Mountain brand one of the most respected, not only among those in the accessory business, but among the most discriminating, fashion-conscious consumers. Stone Mountain handbags are held in high regard for the quality of workmanship, use of the finest leathers, superb style (both traditional and cutting edge), and for the kind of durability that permits customers to wear with pride 20-year old handbags that always look new and fashionable. Stone Mountain never goes out of style, its enduring designs mean timeless fashion for the most discerning women of any era. Stone Mountain's Leathers were inspired by centuries-old tannery techniques developed and refined in New England. Upon its introduction of new products in 1979, Stone Mountain gained immediate respect and popularity for its soft-glove leather handbags. Retailers and consumers alike appreciated the stylish designs and obvious durability. It's no surprise that few handbag companies can match the longevity of the Stone Mountain product line. Fewer still can match the extraordinary quality and durability of the Stone Mountain handbags. That's because Stone Mountain has established criteria that are unique in the accessories industry. Each handbag is individually checked to ensure that it adheres to a strict quality standard. Nothing short of perfection acceptable. Customer testimonials are convincing evidence that Stone Mountain has more than satisfied the needs of the most demanding consumers. While Stone Mountain continues to sell its Classic styles, it also designs some of the most beautiful and elegant handbags to accompany each new fashion season. These handbags invariably become classics in their own right, proudly worn by their owners for many years. Stone Mountain is synonymous with the highest standards of quality, durability, and stylishness.

Re: what do you want and what do you dont want for the new psp ?
sorry for double post but look we have new information for psp2:
Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Kazuo Hirai is to announce the arrival of the PSP2 later today.
According to our tipster, the PSP2 merges the line between phone and gaming device, featuring Google Android based software running the latest build customised by Sony to suit the hardware. We hear the device will also include SIM Free mobile network coverage utilising 3G and EDGE support for gaming on the go.
Other specs show the device is around the same size as PSPGo but is wider thanks to an impressive AMOLED capacitive screen which provides a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels.
As reported earlier in the week the PSP2 also features a touch sensitive pad on the rear named "PSP Move" allowing for gesture like input.
Under the hood, the PSP2 boots with a 1.2Ghz SnapDragon processor as well as adopting the nVidia Tegra Web processor which promises to deliver "hyper-realistic 3D graphics".
Other notable features include a built-in camera supporting standard XVGA resolutions and directional microphone e).
Note the above information was all sent by a tipster but it sounds very interesting, though should be taken with a LARGE pinch of salt for now.
Re: what do you want and what do you dont want for the new psp ?
If that is true, it certainly goes against what most of us wanted.
At least the screen sounds nice. Although even that could be a disappointment because it seems to be a 16:10 aspect ratio, which of course is less wide than 16:9. That means that PSP games, if compatible, will have small black bars on the top and bottom. It's not a good ratio for video either.
But, we'll have to wait and see what's actually announced.
Re: what do you want and what do you dont want for the new psp ?
Any phone on a next generation PSP device is a deal breaker for me. As for what I want, aside form the typical improvements in graphics and audio capabilities, I want a device that has a real web browser - not the gimmicky pseudo browser that is an embarassment on the current PSP. Media capabilities could also be enhanced; specifically, the ability to play mkv format for movies. Lastly, I really like the internet radio programs that were created for the existing PSP - I'd like to see those included but upgraded with much more sophistication and functionality.
Re: what do you want and what do you dont want for the new psp ?
what i want, 2 analogues...
what i dont want, phone...
what sony is bound to give us... 1 or no analogues and a phone...
its sony, its what they do...

We booked the 'Powder Stay and Ski Special' which clearly states 'Includes next day lift passes' on the booking website, and on the About Us>Guest Information page it states 'If you wish to ski or snowboard on your day of arrival, there will be an additional charge.' Based on that information, I contacted the reservations department and asked how much the 'additional charge' was to ski on arrival, to which I was told 'there is no extra charge' and I just needed to make sure i mention it when booking. I had a bit of trouble getting onto reservations that night so I booked online and left a message for someone to call me back (via Twitter), when someone called me I told them what I was told in the email and that I had booked online but keen to ski on arrival, she said she'd make a note in my booking.
On arrival, it was a whole other story. I was asked which day I wanted to ski, and I showed the lady at the counter my email and explained the story (she even looked up the website and saw that it clearly states 'next day lift passes'. She said she would talk to her supervisor and see what she could do. When we checked into the hotel up the top, we were told that they were unable to give us lift tickets for both days, but instead upgraded us.
We were enjoying our day and weren't going to let this bother us, so we just accepted the upgrade and didn't bother arguing, as it turned out we skied hard enough on the first day we didn't really feel like skiing the second day (apart from skiing down to the car).
Other than that annoyance on arrival, the stay was good. The staff were nice in the hotel and the restaurants.
Our upgraded room (facing the ski runs) was great, the only issue I could find with the room that where the coffee machine was placed was too far from the powerpoint to be able to plug it in, that was a bit odd. The room was clean and comfortable, the TV had some volume issues (would randomly get really loud), but generally it was good, we didn't hear much from other guests at all.

Because surfaces and objects in typical spaces reflect light, they can play a part in lighting efficiency as extensions of the lighting system. By controlling room surface reflectances, light levels can be improved, creating opportunities to save energy. If light is not absorbed by a surface, it is reflected or transmitted to other surfaces.

The green design—good for the environment in that it makes buildings more sustainable—can be bad for lighting, as designers are incentivized to chase points that may require sacrifices to design. For lighting, it can be especially risky. Lighting power allowances in energy codes regulating new buildings have steadily declined over the last decade, enabled by advances in technology. READ MORE
December 2010
In part 1 of this two-part series on photosensors, I described the major characteristics of photosensors and ended with a problem: suppose we have a classroom in which we want to begin dimming the row of fluorescent lighting fixtures adjacent to a series of windows when daylight levels reach 150 percent of design light levels. What kind of photosensor will we need? READ MORE
November 2010
Daylight harvesting's value proposition is fairly simple: as daylight levels increase in a space, electric lighting levels can be automatically reduced to maintain a target task lighting level and save energy. Because this system is automated, a device is needed to tell a controller that there is a high enough light level to warrant reduction of electric lighting. READ MORE
October 2010
Light-emitting Diode (LED) replacement lamps, including omnidirectional, directional and decorative lamps, are now proliferating the market. Unfortunately, many of these products have been of poor quality, according to CALiPER independent product testing conducted by the Department of Energy (DOE). READ MORE

Once a venerable workhorse in commercial lighting, the fluorescent magnetic T12 ballast is now considered a dinosaur. All but extinct in new construction, there are still millions of these ballasts installed in commercial buildings throughout the United States. Now they are facing extinction in existing buildings, as replacement ballasts stop being available due to energy legislation. READ MORE

Standard 189.1, the Standard for the Design of High-Performance, Green Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings, published in late January by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), provides the first code-intended commercial green building standard in the United States.

New York City's dense urban landscape is populated with more than a million buildings that annually consume $15 billion in energy and generate 75 percent of the city's carbon emissions. The 22,000 largest buildings, concentrated largely in Manhattan, account for roughly 45 percent of total floorspace and energy consumption. READ MORE

Amalgam technology, fairly common among plug-in compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), is now available in linear T5HO, T5VHO and T8VHO fluorescent lamps, making fluorescent lighting competitive in many high-intensity discharge (HID) applications. Fluorescent lamps produce visible light through a gaseous discharge process called fluorescence. READ MORE

Wow, the author was very thorough with the details on this book. Nothing was skipped.
The first chapter is worth the book alone. It goes into the crazy antics people were using radioactive material at the dawn of the 19th century. The calamity that came about because they had not yet learned the dangers.
Such has drinking radioactive water!
Later Chapters deal with ww2, Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and most recently Fukoshima.

Paint Technique: Colorwashing
Give your walls a quick seasonal accent with a technique that gives new meaning to washing the walls for spring.
Materials and Tools:
white athletic socks
blue painter's tape
paint tray with liner
long level
acrylic craft paint
1. Use a level and light pencil to mark the desired area you plan to add color to, and then tape-off around the outside of the box.
2. Dilute a small amount of paint with water (two cups of paint to 1/2 cup water) in a paint tray and stir well.
3. Dip the tip of the sock into the paint and dab the excess off. Use circular motions to fill in the taped-off area, creating soft swirls of lighter and darker color. This variance is what gives the washing technique so much character. If desired, add to the technique in places that seem too light to make the overall appearance as even or as mottled as you like.
4. Remove the tape, and then outline the box using a small brush and coordinating acrylic craft paint.

Coffee Bean?
Carol HenryFebruary 23, 2006
Most all of the florist use a plant they call coffee beans. It has red or green berries and is very attractive in arrangements. I don't think it really is coffee beans but the seed of some other plant.
It is also called hypericion(sp?). Any one know if you can grow this and how would I get a start?

Last Chance for Book Sale Donation Drop-OffMonday, August 25th, 2014 - by: Brian Herzog, Head of Reference
The last scheduled donation drop-off day for the book sale is Saturday, August 30th, from 9am-Noon. Volunteers will be at the Yellow House (next door to the library) and available to help unload cars.
The absolute last day for donations is Friday, September 12th.
This is because the Yellow House has been sold and will be moved, and we'll have nowhere to store donations for awhile. So please, if you can't get the donations to the library by September 12th, hold onto them at home until we're able to accept donations again.
2014 Book Sale schedule:
The sale will take place in the gym behind the Town Office building, 50 Billerica Road, Chelmsford [see a map].
Run by the Chelmsford Friends of the Library, the book sale is a significant source of funding for library programming, museum passes, and many extras for Chelmsford patrons – the 2013 Book Sale raised over $25,000!
For more information, visit http://www.chelmsfordlibrary.org/friends/booksale.html or contact the Reference Desk at firstname.lastname@example.com or 978-256-5521 x211.Posted in Events, Friends of the Library | No Comments »

New Museum Pass: Einstein's WorkshopTuesday, July 8th, 2014 - by: Brian Herzog, Head of Reference
Chelmsford patrons have access to a new museum pass through the Library: Einstein's Workshop, in Burlington.
Einstein's Workshop offers many science and technology classes, and has a great drop-in space. The Library's pass offers free admission during drop in hours and admits up to 2 children.
Drop-in hours vary, so check our museum pass website for more information, and to reserve a pass. You can also visit Einstein's Workshop's website at http://www.einsteinsworkshop.com for more information on their activities.
In other museum pass-related news, the library is running a trial for the summer to make our passes more accessible. We're going to waive our regular pass limits for any day-of-use pass that isn't already reserved that day. So, if you already have something booked, and another museum you'd like to visit is also available on that day, you can now borrow both of them.
At the end of the summer we'll evaluate how the trial went and decide how to move forward. If you have any questions or suggestions about museum passes, please contact the Reference Desk at firstname.lastname@example.com or 978-256-5521 x211.Posted in Library Information, Resources | No Comments »
Latest on Proposed Move for the Dutton HouseWednesday, April 9th, 2014 - by: Brian Herzog, Head of Reference
In case you haven't yet seen the story on the Chelmsford Independent's website, they posted a recap of the latest Zoning Board of Appeals meeting to review the proposal to move the Dutton House.
Since there are still challenges to the Dutton House's proposed new location and use, the ZBA has scheduled a site walk to get a better idea of what the move would mean to the surrounding neighborhood.
The site walk, at 71 North Road, will talk place Saturday, April 12 at 8:30 a.m.
For historical photos and documents relating to the Dutton House, you can visit the Chelmsford Historical Commission's listing for 10 Bartlett Street. They also have information on many other homes and significant resources in Chelmsford.

The next season of the popular "Orange is the New Black" will premiere on June 12. The upcoming sci-fi drama "Sense8" will be streaming on June 5.
What Netflix Original really means, plus all the ones you can watch today.
Video-streaming service posts improved subscriber growth overseas for the fourth quarter, making up for slower growth in the US.
After months of speculation and rumours, Netflix finally announces it will launch in Australia and New Zealand in 2015.
Netflix recruits a big-name studio and high-profile creators for another original that appears to be truly original -- a psychological thriller about the secrets between adult siblings.
In a show of confidence, Netflix greenlights another season of prison dramedy "Orange Is the New Black" before subscribers have seen it.
Separate user profiles are set to stop kids, friends or spouses using your account from skewing your Netflix recommendations.
Netflix is introducing a new option that lets you pay more and enjoy four streams at once, as opposed to the current limit of two.
CEO Reed Hastings: "If it's not exclusive and on cable and other services, it's pleasant to watch but it's not reinforcing why customers should stay with Netflix."
After the success of House of Cards, Netflix has announced Sense8, a sci-fi series from the creators of The Matrix and Babylon 5.

You want to pass vRa and vRb into your ApplyForce() function and not vContactPoint. Also make sure that prbLeft->m_vPos is the location of the center of mass and not the position of the rigid body. The way artists author models they are usually different. Don't assume that the position and center of mass are coincident.
I also recommend to rename ApplyForce() to ApplyImpulse().

I simply use an array of function pointers. Essentially something along these lines:
static void rnCollide( rnManifold& Manifold, const rnTransform& Transform1, const rnShape* Shape1, const rnTransform& Transform2, const rnShape* Shape2, rnContactCache& Cache )
typedef void (*rnCollideFunc)( rnManifold&, const rnTransform&, const rnShape*, const rnTransform&, const rnShape* );
static const rnCollideFunc CollisionMatrix[ RN_SHAPE_COUNT ][ RN_SHAPE_COUNT ] =
{ rnCollideSpheres, rnCollideSphereCapsule, rnCollideSphereHull, NULL },
{ NULL, rnCollideCapsules, rnCollideCapsuleHull, NULL },
{ NULL, NULL, rnCollideHulls, NULL },
RN_ASSERT( Shape1->GetType() <= Shape2->GetType() );
rnCollideFunc Collide = CollisionMatrix[ Shape1->GetType() ][ Shape2->GetType() ];
Collide( Manifold, Transform1, Shape1, Transform2, Shape2, Cache );
If you cannot guarantee the ordering (I do this when creating a contact) you must handle the lower collision matrix as well. Most often this simply involves reversing the normal direction.
In general this a simple problem and I recommend using a simple solution for this problem. Until you don't add dispatchers dynamically I would go with this solution or use your switch-case approach which is totally fine. There is a lot of value to keep things simple and readable.

After the SAT you have a feature (either edges or face) which defines the axis of minimum penetration.
If this feature is a face:
- The face defines the so called reference face
- Find the incident face on the other shape
- This face defines the incident face
- Clip the incident face against the side planes of the reference face
- Keep all point below the reference face
- The distance of the clipped vertices to the reference face is your penetration
If the witness features are edge
- Compute the closest point between the edges
- The contact point is the average of the two points
- The penetration is the distance between the two witness points
I recommend to look into a bunch of example. E.g. in the ODE there is a function dBoxBox which shows how to build contacts for two OBBs. In Box2D you can find examples for building contacts between convex hull. In 3D you need to add the edge case.
Erin gave a bunch of presentation and one deals with contact creation. Have a look here: www.box2d.org
I think Erwin gave a presentation on contact creation as well. Look at the Bullet website

I agree with Eric. You find a bunch of scary solutions out there. So I quickly wrote my derivation up for you (if you don't have Eric's book handy) and also summarized some common gotchas to watch out for when using the parallel axis theorem. It is very short and on the point, but hopefully this helps:

I recommend starting from Box2D *Lite*. Then you can start playing around from a working solution. Regarding the changes you made to Box2D I wonder what problem you try to solve and where you think your solution is better. I personally would only make such changes if it solves a particular problem while not breaking anything else.

I am looking for some references on Spline Ik and Fullbody Ik. I found tons of good material on basic Ik solvers like Jacobian methods, CCD, analytical and particle methods, but I failed to find anything about these two topics. I must assume I lost my Google Fu
For Spline Ik my understanding is that your are given a bunch of joint pivots and find a curve through all these points. Then while moving the spline control points you reconstruct the bone chain. There are some tricky details for the twist.
Fullbody Ik seems to combine different kinds of Ik solvers (e.g. spline solver for the spine, and maybe analytical methods for arms, etc) and then solve those in some hierarchical way with constraints between the Ik handles.
Any information is welcome! Thanks!

There are two things with position solvers.
1) Friction and motors are usually modeled as velocity constraints. It is tricky to do this on the position level
2) If you solve on the position level you need to solve a non-linear system. Solving on the velocity level is a linear problem. Also constraint equations and Jacobians are functions of the positions and orientations. So you need to re-evaluate them while you iterate over them. This is *pretty* costly. On the velocity level they remain constant and can be pre-computed. For particle systems it is a great choice though. Check all the Position-Based-Dynamics (PBD) work by Mueller and the original presentation by Jacobsen using Verlet integration.
If you really want to understand what is going on, here are a couple of links:
Everything from Erin Catto here:
These are good as well:
Finally you can read also everything from David Baraff and Brian Mirtich. Just google for those names
If you want to write your own physics engine I recommend starting from Box2D Lite and then port it slowly over to 3D. Once you have the basic understanding you can improve broadphase, collision detection, contact persistence, etc. based on you personal preferences. You can use the real Box2D as guidance then
Edit: Here are links to the Mueller and Jacobsen papers
For a formal background look into technical mechanics books or online lectures.
Happy studying!

Yes! You first solve the velocities. The projection steo give you the 'best' velocities to advance to the positions. Then you correct positions. I would not re-run the collision detection though, but keep contact points local and measure the penetration along the normal.
Again, I recommend having look at Box2D and Box2D Lite.
Posted by Dirk Gregorius
on 21 May 2014 - 05:19 PM
First I would make sure that your tangent doesn't go to zero when the relative velocity vanishes. What is the impulseMag? Is this the incremental or the accumulated impulse? You need to clamp against the accumulated impulse.
I would clamp the friction impulse like this (assuming impulseMag > 0) :
frictionImpulse = clamp( frictionImpulse, -curContact->friction * impulseMag, curContact->friction * impulseMag );

The support point is the furthest (extreme) point in a given direction:
int Support( const std::vector< vector2 >& vertices, const vector2& vDirection )
float flBestDistance = -FLT_MAX;
int nBestVertex = -1;
for ( int nVertex = 0; nVertex < nVertexCount; ++nVertex )
float flDistance = DotProduct( vertices[ nVertex ], vDirection );
if ( flDistance > flBestDistance )
flBestDistance = flDistance;
nBestVertex = nVertex;
return nBestVertex;

I have been working at Medidata Solutions full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
The company is making more investments to improve the employee experience. It has lavish parties, a swanky new office space with a roof deck, game room, and showers, has implemented a new employee stock purchase plan, and allocates a decent amount to professional development. Everyone strives to foster a hard-working, yet fun environment. I can always trust my peers to have my back. I am learning something new every day. It helps that my direct managers are excellent leaders and they always have their door open if I ever need career or any other kind of advice.Cons
Depending on your department and the people with whom you work, your experience might differ. Sometimes it takes senior management a while to acknowledge it needs changes and also to reward you for your contributions. There does seem to be nepotism involved when people get promoted. In order to get ahead, I've only not had to work extremely hard, but also play the game to be noticed.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Not everyone is a natural born leader. Some people have to develop their skills; others do not fit the mold. Take strides develop different career paths for leaders vs individual contributors. Put the right people in leadership positions so that they, their subordinates, and the company as a whole can flourish.RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEO

I bought Trinidad scorpion seeds. They surprised me with a bonus seed pack. I planted my bonus saffron in a Dixie cup mix with garden soil and some fertilizer. I left them outside. I didn't give it much thought BC I didn't plan on them even sprouting. I have three of them now that sprouted. Now that I have plants I have a lot of questions. When to transplant, where to put them in my garden and how to harvest them. My garden is a salsa garden so its a little weird having saffron plants in there. There were no instructions on my seed packets.
Don't know for sure what seeds you have called 'saffron' , because true saffron is derived from a crocus variety which is sterile and does not make seed. I suspect that they are a type of shallots which are sometimes called saffron. In that case treat them just as you would onion seed. Harvest when the tops dry in late summer or fall.
See how they develop, if they are some type of crocus, your Dixie cup is going to present a problem. Crocus are usually left in flat or pot the first year after germinating so the corm can begin to develop. After that they are moved up a pot size or carefully transplanted into the garden - and if a crocus, they would likely go late summer dormant too. See what type of top develops, maybe post a photo later, maybe someone can tell you if you have young onion type or crocus (which would mature much more slowly)
Go to Photobucket on your cell phone.
Download the app.
Take a pic of the plant and download the pic to Photobucket App on your cell phone.
After it's downloaded on photobucket, bring it up and get the HTML code, look under the pic and it will show you what it is.
You can put this right in a post on GW.
Try it.
Give it some time, newly germinated seedlings can be a little hard to identify, but I think most would describe crocus seedlings as looking more like grass....

Armando Galarraga and Jim Joyce, together again at ESPYs
Jul 15, 2010, 11:45 AM EDT
Armando Galarraga and umpire Jim Joyce teamed up again last night, going on stage together at the ESPYs to present the award for "Best Moment."
Joyce did most of the talking, saying:
Every umpire strives for the same thing, not to be noticed. So much for that. But it's good to be here and good to be alongside a terrific young man and pitcher in Armando, who will always be remembered for his grace and class, regardless of what the record books say.
I'm in total agreement about Galarraga, who couldn't possibly have handled this whole situation any better and certainly deserves all the recognition he wants.
Joyce has also handled things well given the difficult circumstances, but ultimately he caused those circumstances by failing to perform his job well and for whatever reason it rubs me the wrong way to see him celebrating that fact, even if it's being done in the name of celebrating Galarraga. Of course, if it doesn't bother Galarraga then it probably shouldn't bother me. After all, it did get him in the same room as Brooklyn Decker.
Galarraga was dropped from the Tigers' rotation and demoted to Triple-A last week, but has yet to start a game back in Toledo.

- Old Gator - Jul 15, 2010 at 12:08 PM
Uh…Len, that's Aaron, not Craig. And from what I've seen of him, "lighten up" is more than just a metaphorical entreaty. I could do to take it to heart myself. Matter of fack, I just got back from Publix with another bag of Splenda with which to bake my bran-walnut muffins for the weekend provisioning, and a small bottle of lime juice and some fresh mint to make my diet ginger ale drinkable.
All that notwithstanding, yeah, Aaron, lay off the guy. He self-flagellates in a feedback loop as it is. If you want to blame someone, blame that Pithecanthropus erectiledysfunctionis* in the Commissioner's office who apparently hasn't even been informed about the invention of the wheel yet.
*With apologies to the Leakey family and Charlie Mingus.
- Utley's hair - Jul 15, 2010 at 1:25 PM
Hey, Aaron, at least Joyce admits to his fallibility and has tried at every turn to make amends. He is a rare breed of zebra.
Though I take issue with his assertion that "every umpire strives…not to be noticed…" There have been many instances this season alone in which that doesn't hold water–apparently unlike Gator.
- NicoSamuelson2 - Jul 15, 2010 at 2:25 PM
How was their lineup card exchange not even nominated for "best moment?"
- Old Gator - Jul 15, 2010 at 2:52 PM
I only strive not to be noticed when I'm trying to swim up under some kid dangling his toes in the water.
- Utley's hair - Jul 15, 2010 at 3:21 PM
I'll be sure to warn my kid, though he'll no doubt be able to detect your presence due to your diet.
- dsmith4444 - Jul 15, 2010 at 3:51 PM
Old Gator, try using spell check.
Aaron, why be so negative? You are a little late in letting us know that Joyce didn't do his job, we really didn't know that. Are you sure? Where do you writers come from anyway? Do you have editors? I guess not, you get to write whatever you want. What you wrote had little class, demeans Brook Decker, and on the whole, makes apologizing for a mistake a bad thing. You need to grow up.

I purchased these for my grandchildren.........all of whom are in one bedroom with bunk beds. The girl picked the pink and the two boys picked the blue and the green. While the colors seem a bit feminine, with the right decor in the room, they are absolutely fine for the boys. (We've added other boy touches.) The kids love them because they are very soft and comfortable and the colors are exactly as shown on my computer screen. My daughter was very happy with the product. We haven't washed them yet, so don't know how they'll hold up but we are very satisfied so far. There are really no "roses" on this comforter, but rather swirls of fur. I say this in case someone else needs them for a boy room.
My ten year old loves her new comforter. Very soft and great color. Thickness was better Thani expected. Perfect for summer spring and fall.
I order 2 sets of purple color and by mistake I think I also order another color lime green, I called to return the green I got the return label, but then we decide to keep the 4 sets, my girls really loved then.
This comforter is everything I hoped it would be! It was for my little girls room and it couldn't be more adorable!!! I wasn't expecting it to be as soft as it was so that was just an added bonus!!
My daughter wanted a lime green comforter which is actually harder to find than I thought. She loves this comforter and won't let me return it but it is not big enough for a full size bed, it does not hang far enough down to go to the dust ruffle so you can see the sheets on the matress. I gave it a fair rating because it is a nice comforter just too small.
My 9-year old daughter said it exceeded her expectations. She said it's nice, soft and warm. I'm not sure that it would suffice as a winter blanket and it could be a little wider (for my style) but my daughter likes it and that's what counts.
I ordered the green in a twin size - it arrived promptly and exactly as shown (note that the twin size is actually a two piece set). The color is exactly what I expected and the comforter is very soft and well made - we are very happy with this purchase.
I haven't washed it yet, but so far it seems to be of great quality. Vibrant colors, soft fuzzy swirls (that only look like roses if you look very closely). My daughter loves it. We bought the double in teal and a twin in green.
this is so soft my son's room is done in green and blue I ordered the blue when I get it it was green however we liked it so much we decided not to exchange it I think I am going to order a few more just to have for guests when they are visiting its not to heavy but perfect for year round use
Simply Gorgeous. yes I would recommend this product at this good price....
