For whatever reason, I missed my chance to get hands-on time with Halo 2 at E3 2004. Sure, I was a bit jealous of my peers, but I didn't sweat it too much. Because really, at the end of the day, there's little doubt that Halo 2 won't impress fans of the first game. And, while I definitely feel it was flawed, I still enjoyed Halo and consider myself a fan. So, when a chance to get my hands on the most anticipated sequel of the year finally appeared today at the Game Stars Live event in London, I didn't hesitate for a moment.
After waiting in a queue (that's what they call "lines" here in England) for around an hour, I was allowed into the large booth with nine other individuals. While the gameplay mode on display at E3 was single-flag CTF, Microsoft placed players into Team Slayer matches for Halo 2's first appearance in the UK. As a fan of deathmatch, I wasn't one to argue. And, as it was my first experience with the game, I was a bit relieved that strategy and teamwork would take a back seat to simple gunplay. Unfortunately, the battle took place on Zanzibar, the same map available during the E3 playtest. I was hoping to get a glance at one of the game's other multiplayer environments, but alas, it was not meant to be.
I spawned inside the base at first, and quickly destroyed an incoming enemy Spartan with my submachine gun. The weapon feels decidedly similar to the assault rifle from the game's predecessor. After investigating the corpse, I was awarded with a new weapon: the battle rifle. As you probably recall, this gun fires in three-shot bursts; that is, unless you happen to be aiming through the scope. In such a case, the player will only be able to fire a single shot at a time. While I've always liked the idea of this weapon in theory, in practice I found it to be a bit useless. During a firefight against another Spartan, the shots simply don't feel powerful enough, especially given how long it takes to pump bullets into a foe. Maybe with practice my initial reaction will prove to be premature, but I simply couldn't attack fast enough to whittle away my opponent's shields. To be honest, the battle rifle simply feels like a crippled version of the SMG. I had much better luck with the default weapon.
After being fragged the first time, I ended up spawning on the beach following each consecutive death; it appeared that the same was true for everybody else in the game, as well. Soon after the start of the match, all ten players were situated on or around the beach. I can't say whether or not this was intentional or simply a bug in the early code. While it meant that little of the map was explored, it did keep the action fast-paced. And luckily, most of the weapons had been dropped on the beach near the vehicle spawn points giving us a chance to get our hands on some of the more coveted items available in Halo 2.

A batty summer at St Fagans!
12 September 2013
,I don't know about you, but I cannot believe how quickly August flew by! It seems as if it was only yesterday that schools were breaking up, but now it is already time for us to welcome school visits again for a brand new school year!
This summer was slightly different for myself in St Fagans. Due to the redevelopment project we have lost use of the Tŷ Gwyrdd eco house, so our summer events this year had a slightly more nomadic feel than normal! It was nice to visit other parts of the museum and to explore some of the wildlife found in different places.
In total this summer, around 1000 people took part in a variety of nature activities within the museum, from minibeast bug hunts in the woods to our very popular twilight bat walks around the site.
The summer began with us re-opening the bird hide at its new location near Hendre Wen barn. After initial worries of whether we would attract similar numbers of birds as the previous location, I was very relieved after spending 30 minutes in the hide and spotting 11 different species. Hopefully we will continue to attract such a wide variety of birds to our feeders. The bird hide is open every day, so on your next visit be sure to pop in and see what you spot!
In August we had a bit of a bat scare at the Tannery. The Tannery building is home to a roost of rare Lesser Horseshoe bats. A small electrical fire broke out one morning in the room directly below the roof space where the bats normally roost. Thankfully a quick response from South Wales Fire and Rescue Service ensured that the fire did not spread. Luckily, the bats had flown to an area of the building unaffected by the fire. The story even made it onto the BBC website! Thanks to Anwen for the pictures!
The bats have now returned to their normal roosting spot and they seem to have been largely unaffected by the event. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for our bat camera which is situated in the building. A combination of smoke and water damage means that we will have to replace the camera, which we will be doing as soon as possible!
Bats at St Fagans seem to be going from strength to strength. We have 11 of the 18 British species known roosting within the museum grounds, including the elusive Nathusius Pipistrelle bat which has been found roosting in 2 of our buildings. Previous to this, there were only 2 known roosting locations for this species in the whole of Wales. This story also made the news recently!
This year we held 3 Twilight Batwalks, all of which booked up well in advance. Thanks to all who came and apologies to anyone who tried to book but were unable to! Next year we are planning on having 4 walks throughout August, with the possibility of more depending on demand! If you came on one of our batwalks, or took part in any nature events this summer, please let us know what you though, either by commenting here or sending an us an email!
Finally a big thanks to our new team of volunteers who helped out over the summer! Having an extra pair or two of hands during workshops and events is invaluable and means that we can offer a better experience to our visitors. I look forward to working with you again in the near future!
Rhondda Super Scientists
8 July 2013
,Williamstown Primary School pupils, in the Rhondda Valleys, were awarded first place amongst the sixty three Welsh schools taking part in the Museum's Spring Bulbs for Schools investigation this year.
The class of Super Scientists won a fun-packed nature trip to St Fagans: National History Museum where they were awarded certificates. As part of the day trip they studied newts, looked for mini-beasts, watched bats and built giant nests in the woodland!
Professor Plant: ''They all had a great day and should be very proud of how they represented their school. The standard was very high this year, the schools are getting better and better at recording and logging their data. Williamstown did extremely well with their recording and really got involved in the project from the start last November until the end in the spring - which came very late this year!"
Alison Hall, Teacher at Williamstown Primary: "The pupils said it was the best day out they had ever had - they loved viewing the bat roost in particular! In terms of the investigation, the children have have loved the whole process from planting and recording to measuring and waiting for the first bloom to appear. It has been great for improving their science, numeracy and ICT skills. We are now really enthused about nature and the environment and are keen to set-up more outdoor investigations in our school grounds".
If you would like to take part in this project next term - please complete the on-line application form: http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/en/1738/
To see our teacher evaluation report - follow this link: https://scan.wufoo.com/reports/spring-bulbs-for-schools-evaluation-report/
As you can see from the evaluation question below the project is very cross-curricular:
Spring Bulb for Schools: Results 2005-2013
13 June 2013
,The 'Spring Bulbs for Schools' project allows 1000s of schools scientists to work with Amgueddfa Cymru-National Museum Wales to investigate and understand climate change.
Since October 2005, school scientists have been keeping weather records and noting when their flowers open, as part of a long-term study looking at the effects of temperature on spring bulbs.
Certificates have now been sent out to all the 3,979 pupils that completed the project this year.
See Professor Plant's reports or download the spreadsheet to study the trends for yourself!
- Make graphs & frequency charts or calculate the mean.
- See if the flowers opened late in schools that recorded cold weather.
See how temperature, sunshine and rainfall affect the average flowering dates.
Look for trends between different locations.

Daffodil Drawing Competition 2013
23 May 2013
,I announced the Winners and Runners Up of the Daffodil Drawing Competition a couple of weeks ago, and now their fantastic drawings are now up on our website for you all to see!
In this competition I was looking for botanical illustrations – these are pictures of plants drawn in a scientific way. This means I was looking for beautiful pictures but they also needed to have clear labels to show the different parts of the Daffodil.
1st, 2nd and 3rd prize winners will receive a bird watching kit with mini binoculars. Runners Up will receive flower seeds for the garden.
Click here to view this year's Winners and Runners Up.

Easier hepatitis C treatment has arrived. Learn more about new antiviral drugs that can cure this serious chronic infection.
Subscribe to our Digestive Health e-newsletter to stay up to date on digestive health topics.
Although chronic hepatitis C has been treatable for some time, only a minority of those who start treatment can stick with it long enough to wipe out the virus. That's about to change, thanks to new medications and greater awareness of the disease. Here's an overview of recent developments in hepatitis C treatment.
Doctors treat chronic hepatitis C infection with antiviral drugs. These drugs act in different ways to eliminate hepatitis C virus from your liver and blood.
In recent clinical trials, several new antiviral drugs have shown high levels of effectiveness against hepatitis C infection. Three of these drugs have received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval, and more should be available soon. Because of these developments, guidelines for treating chronic hepatitis C are changing rapidly.
The types of antiviral drugs used to treat chronic hepatitis C infection are:
Each type of anti-hepatitis C drug weakens hepatitis C virus at a different point in its life cycle. For this reason — and because many studies have shown that combination therapy increases effectiveness — treatment with two or three drugs at once is necessary. With new antiviral drugs, however, treatment of chronic hepatitis C is generally becoming simpler, easier to tolerate, more likely to result in a cure and, in some cases, a shorter length of treatment.
Interferon is a protein the immune system naturally produces in response to inflammation and infection. Pharmaceutical companies also manufacture distinct types of interferon to treat a number of conditions, including chronic hepatitis C. FDA-approved treatments for the most common type of hepatitis C in North America and Europe still include interferon — for those who can safely take it. But many people can't, including anyone with:
Even those who can take interferon safely may have trouble completing a course of treatment. Interferon is available only by injection, typically given once a week. Serious side effects include blood abnormalities, psychiatric problems and persistent fatigue. Also, anyone treated with the drug requires regular medical visits to manage side effects.
Additional clinical trials should soon produce enough data to justify a sharp turn away from interferon-based treatment of chronic hepatitis C. Until that happens, talk to your doctor about any concerns you may have before starting treatment. For some people, it may be best to postpone treatment until a better tolerated regimen is approved.

Scientist finds great organic agri prospects here
By Chamanlall Naipaul
Myers yesterday said from his evaluation of proposals during visits to potential sites for extensive organic farming, he is convinced that Guyana can enter the organic market in the United Kingdom and Europe.
He told a news conference hosted by the Ministry of Fisheries, Crops and Livestock that while a variety of crops can be grown, there is a need to prioritise.
At the moment, cocoa and palm products head the list and the scientist said there is potential for fresh and processed fruits and vegetables and spices, in that order.
Myers, however, identified infrastructure and transportation as areas that have to be addressed.
He also advised that the process of conversion to organic farming need not wait until prospective buyers come forward and that preparations have to be made in advance to identify the best sites and implement the required measures.
Describing the document on Guyana's organic programme for the next five years as a "good one", Myers said that it lays the basis for national policy on organic agriculture.
He will present a report of his findings and recommendations to the Government upon completing his one-week visit which started Monday.
British High Commissioner to Guyana, Mr. Edward Glover, reiterating Myers' findings, declared, "the signposts are clear, there are excellent opportunities for organic farming and the key is the export market."
Glover emphasised that success of the venture lies in a reliable supply, quality and competitive prices. In this respect, Guyana faces competition from within the Caribbean region.
He said potential buyers will visit Guyana soon and "if they like what they see, the clock will start ticking." Guyana has 18 months in which to make an export commitment, therefore, the "hard work has to begin now," Glover stressed.
The diplomat further impressed upon the authorities the need to face up to several challenges that lay ahead in the process. These include putting measures in place for certification and addressing the transportation issue which is crucial to the success of the venture.
The products have 48 hours to reach from the farm to the supermarket, Glover pointed out.
He said the demand in the U.K. and Europe for organic products is growing, increasing at 40 per cent per annum.
This trend has been spurred because supermarkets in the U.K. have recognised that consumers, especially since the outbreak of the foot and mouth disease, have become inclined to buying expensive but safer food.
Minister of Fisheries, Crops and Livestock, Mr. Satyadeow Sawh said his ministry is aware of the existing constraints and was addressing these.
He declared, "the constraints are not insurmountable. We have passed the stage of wobbling feet and are ready to walk."
Director of the National Agricultural Research Institute (NARI), Dr. Oudho Homenauth said Regions One (Barima/Waini), Two (Pomeroon/Supenaam) and Three (West Demerara/Essequibo Islands) have been targeted as the principal organic farming areas.
He, however, said that the other regions may have some potential, but these would be targeted at a later stage of the programme.
Homenauth also said Myers was able to visit potential sites at Canal No 1 Polder and Uitvlugt in Region Three and Lake Mainstay and Pomeroon in Region Two, explaining that time constraints did not permit visits to other sites.
Guyana Chronicle
February 16, 2002
`The constraints are not insurmountable. We have passed the stage of wobbling feet and are ready to walk' - Crops Minister Satyadeow Sawh
BRITISH soil scientist, Mr. John Myers says "opportunities are great" for organic agriculture in Guyana.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Interesting article, however I think you're endangering your credibility
with the statement that "Khartoum is safer than some other cities in the
region, including Nairobi and Cape Town, South Africa". On the same basis
we could compare New York to Mexico City as they are in the same region/on
the same continent. Both comparisons are a little far fetched.
I think that:
1) your maps failed you in this regard; and
2) comparing Khartoum to Cape Town in this regard is a little far fetched,
given the level of crime reporting in the former city.
PS. your feedback link from the above article did not seem to work.

It is why we have the Official Staff History Topic.Congrats, Windrider, on unlocking this achievement. Remember when we were in scouts-- I mean Forum Assistancing together. Okay, so we weren't there at the same time, but you, WaWa, and I were kinda like the Three Amigos the first time you were there. (I still remember you tried to pay me back with a big report for the one I gave you.) Now you're all grown up to Forum Leader. :PAs for the rest of you, I'm sure congratulations would be in order, but since you've already been a few weeks into your new jobs, you are probably now realizing what exactly you really signed up for. Just don't let them push you too hard... I'm sure someone will visit you every now and then. (And if they don't, keep reminding yourselves of the free donuts in the break room... that is, if anyone ever actually built one of those.) ©1984-2011 Toaraga EAMConflagrations, all of you!Also I am severely losing track of who's staff nowadays.

David Bowie has been in NYC seclusion for so long that even his truest believers had reason to think he might never return for anything more than charity galas and the occasional movie premiere.
But things just changed.
Tuesday was Bowie's 66th birthday. To commemorate, he has issued his first new song in a decade – indeed, his first recorded performance in almost half as long, since he contributed backing vocals to two Tom Waits tunes on Scarlett Johansson's tribute set "Anywhere I Lay My Head."
The song, "Where Are We Now?," picks up where he left off; its grandly somber feel is not unlike that of the wistfully nostalgic "Slip Away" (one of the highlights of 2002's "Heathen)" or the darker "Bring Me the Disco King," the closer from his last disc, 2003's "Reality."
As befits a stately legend, it isn't a splashy return, but rather a funereal reflection, partly upon his creatively fertile, drug-fueled time in Berlin in the mid-to-late '70s, a period that yielded easily his most innovative and arguably most enduring works: "Low" (1977), "Heroes" and "Lodger."
The song stands on its own, envelopes you in speculative longing, and as such doesn't fully force images of Germany then-vs.-now. But the equally forlorn video, directed by Tony Oursler, makes the melancholy inescapable, emphasizing the pacing of Bowie's elliptical lyrics: "Where are we now? / Where are we now? The moment you know / You know you know."
In the calmly eerie clip, filmed in the apparently disused auto repair shop below the apartment he lived in at the time, the faces of Bowie and an unidentified woman are projected onto sacks sheathed in nylon. Their bodies are linked like Siamese Muppets, two glum staring heads atop conjoined furriness. Nothing much happens, and discarded bric-a-brac lie all about: a giant ear, an equally large egg, a cobra in full-hooded fury, headless mannequin torsos, an empty but corked bottle.
It looks like a Warhol workshop, at the center of which scrolls vintage visuals from those Berlin Wall days while lyrics stamp onto the screen typewriter-style as Bowie sings of "a man lost in time near Kadewe, just walking the dead." Does he mean himself? Does he feel like half of this alien creature? What's going on here?
A decade later, Bowie is still full of riddles.
Better news: He's also in very fine voice, in this instance more poignantly sorrowful than ever.
Best news: This is only a tease.
Come March 12, Bowie will release "The Next Day," his first collection since 2003 and another collaboration with a most kindred producer, Tony Visconti, the man who oversaw not only "Heathen" and "Reality" but also much of the music from that still-striking "Ziggy Stardust" era.
Naturally, a new album raises the question of whether a tour will follow. And the timing of it begs a corollary query: Might Bowie finally play Coachella?
My gut tells me no, although if the Rolling Stones really have signed on for the 2013 double-header, imagine the possibilities. I rule out very few options until the lineup is released, but I still think if Bowie were to tour – and given his long seclusion, it's a significant if – it would be a limited outing visiting midsize venues like the Shrine or the Greek, much like his last treks across the States. Unlike the Stones, I don't see him mounting anything as mammoth as is necessary to pull off both a main-stage set and an arena/stadium tour to follow.
All the same, fan enthusiasm just jolted back to life. Whether you're a lifer his age or a collegiate who just stumbled onto "Changes" (which, coincidentally, celebrated its 41st birthday as a single on Monday) and has since ravenously gobbled up his early catalog, you're both saying the same thing right now: I didn't think there would be another chance.

A set of functions to generate publisher-happy EPS images
| Watch this File
EPS Utility Toolbox consists of several functions to enhance the outputs of the built-in EPS print engine. This toolbox is aimed to: * Improve EPS standard compliance: http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/ps * Provide post-generation tweaks Run epssetup.m first to set up the toolbox. Toolbox Setup and Configuration epssetup - Run this first to use this toolbox epsfontpath - Get/set postscript font search path epsfontalias - Get/set postscript font aliases epsfontlist - Get the list of postscript fonts in the search path EPS File Generation and Conversion epswrite - Save figure as an EPS image (with fixes) eps2raster - Convert EPS image to PNG, BMP, JPEG, or TIFF image (req. Ghostscript) EPS File Manipulation epsembedfont - Embed/de-embed postscript fonts (can embed subset or unencrypted font dictionaries) epssetlinestyle - Set line styles (dotted, dashed, and dash-dot) epssetbgcolor - Set background color (supports transparency) epspreview - Add/remove TIFF preview (req. Ghostscript) epssetbbox - Set bounding box position and size EPS File Information epsgetbbox - Get bounding box epsgetfonts - Get fonts used EPS Fix-It-Up Functions (called internally by epswrite.m) epsfixfonts - Fix font related issues epsfixbackground - Set figure and axes properties (especially Color) epscleancolordict - Clean up RGB color definitions
Type 'help epsutil' to get the command window help. Indivisual m-files also include full command-window help text.
Some files requires Ghostscript (www.ghostscript.com) to be installed on the computer.
To set resolution and size of the EPS image:
epswrite('fig.eps','Size',[2 4],'Resolution',600);
Size (= [width height]) are specified in inches and Resolution is specified in dots per inch (higher resolution increases the precision of object placements). Type "help epswrite" in Matlab for the full list of options.
For authors preparing manuscripts to aip.org/peerx-press.org, use
to embed Symbol font as their online submission system is not equipped with Symbol font (messes up all TeX characters).
Also, use both epswrite and eps2raster for those of us using pdftex to prepare LaTeX manuscripts for publishers who do not accept PDFs or PNGs. Executing
epswrite fig.eps eps2raster fig.eps png
creates fig.eps and fig.png. This results in identical images in two formats and, IMO, also results in better quality images than directly printing from Matlab, especially with the antialiasing support of Ghostscript.
The submission logo was also created using this toolbox:
h = text(0,0,sprintf('EPS\nUtility\nToolbox')); set(h,'VerticalAlignment','bottom','HorizontalAlignment','left','FontWeight','bold'); set(gca,'position',[0.1 0 0.8 1]); axis off epswrite('logo','Size',[150 100]/200); eps2raster('logo','png','resolution',200,'deletesource','on')
/ /fonts /html /src
Dear Kesh. Thanks for this submission. It is fabulous. However I get an error when I execute 'epsembedfont', for a particular eps image. Not all images produce this error. I use the last version (v12). Here is the trace: Cell contents indices must be greater than 0
Error in getfonts (line 28) FontData{I(n)} = imgdata(Istart(n):Iend(n));
Error in epsembedfont (line 85) [AllFonts,EmbeddedFonts,EmbeddedFontData,imgdata] = getfonts(imgdata); % fontdata removed from imgdata
Error in printResult_LPI (line 105) epsembedfont([fna '_cBER.eps']);
I am using OSX 10.9.5 with MATLAB R2014A. When I run the set up file, I get an the following error after step 4:
STEP 4. Sets up Type 1 font search path and font alias table... Error using rmpref (line 33) GROUP and PREF must exist Error in epssetup (line 102) rmpref('epsutil','FontAlias')
Any idea of why the set up is not working?
@Kesh, thanks for releasing the update! Great work.
@Noah - The latest version that I just uploaded should fix these issues. As for EPSCLEANCOLORDICT etc., these would be needed only on pre-R2014b. Mathworks completely changed around their EPS file structure, making these function completely obsolete. The latest EPSWRITE should automatically turns its calls to these postprocessing functions if you are using R2014b. Let me know if you run into other issues.
Hi Kesh. Thanks for the great submission. I get a few bugs running under R2014b. The first error arises in the nested function parse_input, since the params cell is never converted to structure if N==n0. Moving the line params = struct(params{:}); to before the if statement solves this. Then, EPSCLEANCOLORDICT, EPSFIXBACKGROUND and epssetbgcolor functions all give errors because regexp fails to match the strings you search for...Don't know know what to do about that one...
@Sajjad - No. This toolbox is not intended to edit EPS images beyond "fixing" a few known issues.
Is it possible to change the font size in an eps image using this toolbox?
@Chris - I had the same issue with wma_ fonts (matlab appear to have renamed their fonts at some point, and illustrator seems to demand that the specified font is installed on the system even if it is embedded in the file??).
I solved the problem by [using Mac OS X], by installing TTX and using it to rename my cmr10 and cmmi10 system fonts as mwa_cmr10 and mwa_cmmi10 (and then installing these new fonts). For step by step instructions, see: http://www.fontgeek.net/blog/?cat=7
I also ended up installing FontForge and replacing some of the glyphs in cmmi10, which were a bit wonky in my version (e.g., triangles instead of decimal points)
@Khawaja - EPS Utility Toolbox cannot help you with your problem. epsgetbbox just returns the bounding box that encapsulates all objects in an EPS image.
If they are simple shapes (i.e., groups of connected line segments), you can probably "decode" the postscript by writing your own purser. Your first step is to look at your .eps file in a text editor with the help of the PS standard, which is linked above in the toolbox description. Good luck.
Dear Fellows, I need to extract width and length of each shape in .eps file. But when I use epsgetbbox function, it gives me a 4 element vector. But in my .eps file there are 7 shapes, how can extract Boundarybox or Width/ Length of each shape. I shall be thankful to you for your help
Thank you!
@Jay - You are not calling epswrite correctly. You need to provide the file name for the EPS file as the first argument. E.g., epswrite('myplot.eps','Size',[10 15])
This being said, ESPWRITE should have produced an "official" error with your set of input arguments. I will put this check in the next release. Thanks.
Hey guys, I've got following problem:
epswrite('Size',[10 15]) 120 if ~isempty(params.units) Attempt to reference field of non-structure array.
Error in epswrite (line 120) if ~isempty(params.units)
I only run epssetup and was trying to export a simple grahpic. I'm using matlab 2012b
@Junjie - Your fix is the correct one. I uploaded the fixed version just before your post, but the only change in the new version is what you suggested. Thanks.
it might because the new version have changed the keyword 'painter' to 'painters';
It fixed when I changed 'painter' to 'painters' in the programme.
Thanks for your great works
Hi Kesh,
I just wanted to use your toolbox, here I got a problem (might be quite stupid one, :)).I have Ghostscript installed and everything was successful when using epssetup, when I tried to use epswrite to generate my eps file, I kept getting the following error: Error using inputcheck>LocalCheckOption (line 342) Illegal option '-painter' given.
Error in inputcheck (line 86) opIndex = LocalCheckOption( cur_arg, options );
Error in print (line 166) [pj, devices, options ] = inputcheck( pj, inputargs{:} );
Error in epswrite (line 187) print(H,outfile,cmd{:});
Did I miss something there? BTW, I am running 64bit Windows 8.1
Thanks in advance,
@KeshIkuma: you're right, I cofused the "getdata.m" with the matlab intrinsic function, indeed I did not understand how it could work. Thank you very much for your help
@Michele - Have you extracted all the files? "getdata.m" is in "private" subfolder and should be accessible by "epssetlinestyle.m" as long as the "private" folder is in the same folder as "epssetlinestyle.m".
@KeshIkuma: thank you very much for the whole toolbox. However I'm trying to run the epssetlinestyle function but I receive this message:
??? Undefined function or method 'getdata' for input arguments of type 'char'.
Error in ==> epssetlinestyle at 94 [epsdata,wmfdata,tifdata] = getdata(infile);
as input I'm using something like epssetlinestyle('myfile.eps','Param1',....) where am I wrong ?
Thank you again
@Joseph - getgs() function is in the private folder within the distribution. Make sure that you've extracted all the files in the downloaded ZIP file, keeping the directory structure.
When I ran this function I got the following error:
Undefined function or variable 'getgs'.
Error in eps2raster (line 101) gsexe = getgs();
Where do I get the 'getgs' function?
@KeshIkuma, you don't know how much I love you. I am in a hurry to finish my thesis, and matlab eps/pdf export was giving me so many issues. You just saved my life! Thank you so much.
Btw, if other people have the same issue that I was having, download this FEX and append: 'Size','screen' to your epswrite.
Thank you so much once again!
@Sourabh - I think I know what you are doing wrong here. Do not change the font in your MATLAB figure, leave it default Helvetica. Then, here are the steps:
1) Make sure that "CMU Sans Serif" is a postscript Type-1 font (.pfa or.pfb file). Take note of the location of the file.
2) Run epsfontlist and see if "CMU Sans Serif" is listed. If not, run epsfontpath and add the location of the font file to the EPS Utilities' path
3) Generate an EPS file using epswrite
4) Use epsembedfont with "+Helvetica=>CMUSansSerif" (or whatever as listed in epsfontlist) option
If this procedure does not work, please email me an example MATLAB figure and its EPS output to me directly, and we can sort it out.
I am trying to embed CMU Sans Serif fonts in the eps figures, trying to use epswrite: epswrite(fHandle,fName,'EmbedFonts','all'); But I am still seeing the default Courier type. Looking at the eps file, I found the following fonts embedded: Courier-SH-SS & HeaveneticaSH-SS I have put the required pfb files in epsutil\fonts and re-run epssetup.m Output: STEP 2: Builds MEX functions... decrypt.mexw64 successfully compiled and added to ...\MATLAB\epsutil\private. encrypt.mexw64 successfully compiled and added to ...\MATLAB\epsutil\private. ...done. STEP 3: Links to Ghostscript... Ghostscript executable: "C:\Program Files (x86)\gs\gs8.63\bin\gswin32c.exe" ...done. A list of fonts follows, but the fonts i want (CMU Sans Serif) is not in this list and neither is Heavenetica which is embedded in the eps file written by epswrite. I am running MATLAB 2013a on win 7 64-bit My objective is to integrate the figures into a LATEX manuscript, and I want consistent fonts. Please Help
@Asmus - Could you be more specific about the problem? Are you getting an error message or a faulty EPS output?
As far as I can tell (just tested this particular case with multi-screen Win7), negative position of a figure does not influence its EPS prints generated by epswrite.
Hi, thank you very much for this very encompassing and thorough toolbox.
I might have missed something altogether, but it seems like the tight bounding box option has some problems with negative paper sizes which occur when using matlab on multiple screens.
When the new paper position is being set in settightpos.m, there's nothing to account for this possibility.. Right? Or?
@Conrad - Thanks for reporting the error. However, it is very difficult for me to assess the exact nature of the issue without your EPS output file. If you are still interested, please email me your test output.
Moreover, if you download the latest version (which I just re-uploaded today), you can set the "Postprocessing" option to 'off' which should eliminate the error, and generate the EPS file.
Hi Kesh
Many thanks for developing this tool.
I just have a question because I experience an error when using this tool.
I am using a mac, so maybe this could be the problem.
Please would you let me know if I am using the tool incorrectly or if there is some way to fix the below problem?
I appreciate your time and thank you in advance!
My error is as follows:
Error using cell/setdiff>cellsetdiffR2012a (line 292) Input A of class double and input B of class cell must be cell arrays of strings, unless one is a string.
Error in cell/setdiff (line 84) [varargout{1:nlhs}] = cellsetdiffR2012a(varargin{:});
Error in epsfixfonts (line 133) NeededFonts = setdiff(AllFonts,EmbeddedFonts);
Error in epswrite (line 190) epsfixfonts(outfile,embedsymbol);
Error in MyProgramV1_060 (line 43) epswrite(h,'fig.eps')
Hi Kesh, i just sent you an email with an explanation and the files. Many many thanks for your time!!
@Matteo - Do you still get the error with getallstr()? If so, could you send me your figure, which produces the error?
As for the fonts "not well reproduced": Are you talking about the odd spacing? If so, that's the way it is for now, unfortunately.
actually the error is still present. ;-) the new eps file is generated but the fonts are not well reproduced. many thanks for your time!
i figured out, very sorry ;-) Matteo
Hello, the program seems very useful, many thanks! while running it, i got this error: Index exceeds matrix dimensions.
Error in getallstr (line 31) M = [
Error in epsembedfont (line 170) Strings = struct2cell(getallstr(imgdata));
Error in epsfixfonts (line 158) epsembedfont(outfile,EmbedFontOptions{:},Symbol{:});
am i doing something wrongly? Many thanks!
I want to share the solution for the illustrator problem. I seems that the fonts are properly embedded but that illustrator expects that the used fonts are installed on the system, to avoid copyright issues with fonts.
@bart - Since I don't use/have Illustrator, I cannot confirm your issue. I see a potential reason for it though. Could you try this?
1. Open test6.eps in a text editor (you can simply use the MATLAB editor, "edit test6.eps")
2. On line 5 or so, you should see a line that starts with "%%DocumentNeededFonts:"
3. Replace "%%DocumentNeededFonts:" with "%%DocumentFonts:"
4. Save and open the EPS file in Illustrator
Let me know if this makes any difference. Thanks
Illustrator CS6 is complaining about missing font CMB10
The epsgetfonts states that CMB10 is embedded
I'm working is the x86 environment now.
My final goal is to embed the verdana font, but i don't succeed.
kind regards, bart
@bart, Yeah, Matlab (pre-R2013a) cannot build mex files in 64-bit environment. If you have MS Visual Studio/C++, you can use my other submission (http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/38720) to build them yourself.
In Windows x64 I am unable to compile encrypt.cpp and decrypt.cpp.
It 's great!
But how to support chinese font?
@Chris - Thanks for your feedback. I'm surprised to hear that mwa_cmr10-SS could not be found in Illustrator. "-SS" indicates that a necessary subset of mwa_cmr10 font has been embedded in your EPS file.
Also, have you tried to use epsembedfont function with font substitution feature? For example, epsembedfont(epsfile,'+mwa_cmr10=>cmr10','--Subset'). You must first include the path to your cmr10 font using epsfontpath.
Excellent code. One issue I had was getting the eps fonts to be recognized in illustrator. Essentially, I was getting errors that mwa_cmr10-SS and similar fonts were missing. My system has cmr10 fonts installed, but not mwa_cmr10 fonts. I was able to resolve the issue by stripping off the mwa_ characters from the font name in the epsfixfonts.m function. Latex symbols appear properly in illustrator and preview now. I'm not sure if this is a specific issue with my system or if it is something more general, but I thought I'd let you know. Thanks again!
@Brian, Ha, I thought your name sounded familiar :)
@Jens, it sounds like that you are using "unsupported" LaTeX font on your MATLAB figure. While there are a several different ways to go, the easiest is the following:
1. Determine the missing font name and its PFB Type-1 font file (possibly already within your system or downloaded from CTAN server)
2. Place the PFB font file in "epsutil/fonts" subdirectory.
3. Run epswrite again with "EmbedFonts"="All" option.
Alternatively, you can use epsfontpath to add the folder with the PFB file to EPS Utility Toolbox's font search path.
I'd be more than happy to inspect (and play with) your EPS file if you can send it to me via email (see my FEX profile).
This is actually on of @Jens files (this is Brian G. from PXPHelp) I am just trying to open his files in Illustrator. Here is the Font Problems error message.
SFRM1000: Font not found on the system; missing font has been substituted. SFRM1200: Font not found on the system; missing font has been substituted.
It may be related to Windows computers not having the CM-Super font set installed. I am not certain.
Is there any other info I could provide?
@Brian, Would you be specific on how you generated your EPS figure? Is this with using {'EmbedFonts','all'} option? If the Illustrator continues to complain, would you tell me which fonts that it says its missing? Thanks.
@Kesh and @Jens I don't know is this will help, but when I open one of the figures in Illustrator CS4 I get the following font error. SFRM1000: Font not found on the system; missing font has been substituted SFRM1200: Font not found on the system; missing font has been substituted
Font substitution is close, but not perfect in this case.
@Jens, Thanks for pointing out the bug. Mathworks for whatever reason (compatibility?) uses different command to fill the figure background depending on Level 1 (deps) or Level 2 (deps2). I have fixed the bug, and the latest code will be upped on Monday. -Kesh
Dear Kesh Ikuma
The tool compiled under linux, but I get the following error
epsfixbackground.m ??? Index exceeds matrix dimensions.
Error in ==> epsfixbackground at 71 figdim = str2num(tok{1}); %#ok
Temporary bugfix, for level 1 postscript
[I0,I1,tok] = regexp(imgdata,'\s+1\s+sg\s+0\s+0\s+(\d+\s+\d+)\s+PR\s+','start','end','tokens','once');

Cooper Theatre

The Cooper ! Reading all the great memories brings back my own ! I know I saw many movies at The Cooper, but the only movie memory I have is seeing "Pippy Long Stocking" probably in the late 70's when I was in my very early teens. I also remember the smoking area that was mentioned, the cages that were higher than the actual seats that had the ceiling "smoke sucking" fans.
What great times those were !


text: Hi everyone! I'm a newbie to Firehouse.com forum and I just wanted to say hello. I also wanted to give a huge THANK YOU to everyone throughout the USA that sent their condolances and offers of support and help when my best friend and Assistant Chief Chris Kobeirowski died last month. I hope a lot of you use this forum so you can see this. You are AWSOME! A simple email filled with consoling words did wonders for my fire department, my community, and Chris's widow. We received hundreds of emails from across America and they made us feel like we weren't alone in our grief. For the rest of you out there: Stay safe and God bless! I look forward to "foruming" with you!

Climate change and global water resources: SRES emissions and socio-economic scenarios
Arnell, N.W. (2004) Climate change and global water resources: SRES emissions and socio-economic scenarios. Global Environmental Change, 14, (1), 31-52. (doi:10.1016/j.gloenvcha.2003.10.006).
Full text not available from this repository.
In 1995, nearly 1400 million people lived in water-stressed watersheds (runoff less than 1000 m3/capita/year), mostly in south west Asia, the Middle East and around the Mediterranean. This paper describes an assessment of the relative effect of climate change and population growth on future global and regional water resources stresses, using SRES socio-economic scenarios and climate projections made using six climate models driven by SRES emissions scenarios. River runoff was simulated at a spatial resolution of 0.5×0.5° under current and future climates using a macro-scale hydrological model, and aggregated to the watershed scale to estimate current and future water resource availability for 1300 watersheds and small islands under the SRES population projections. The A2 storyline has the largest population, followed by B2, then A1 and B1 (which have the same population). In the absence of climate change, the future population in water-stressed watersheds depends on population scenario and by 2025 ranges from 2.9 to 3.3 billion people (36–40% of the world's population). By 2055 5.6 billion people would live in water-stressed watersheds under the A2 population future, and "only" 3.4 billion under A1/B1.
Climate change increases water resources stresses in some parts of the world where runoff decreases, including around the Mediterranean, in parts of Europe, central and southern America, and southern Africa. In other water-stressed parts of the world—particularly in southern and eastern Asia—climate change increases runoff, but this may not be very beneficial in practice because the increases tend to come during the wet season and the extra water may not be available during the dry season. The broad geographic pattern of change is consistent between the six climate models, although there are differences of magnitude and direction of change in southern Asia.
By the 2020s there is little clear difference in the magnitude of impact between population or emissions scenarios, but a large difference between different climate models: between 374 and 1661 million people are projected to experience an increase in water stress. By the 2050s there is still little difference between the emissions scenarios, but the different population assumptions have a clear effect. Under the A2 population between 1092 and 2761 million people have an increase in stress; under the B2 population the range is 670–1538 million, respectively. The range in estimates is due to the slightly different patterns of change projected by the different climate models. Sensitivity analysis showed that a 10% variation in the population totals under a storyline could lead to variations in the numbers of people with an increase or decrease in stress of between 15% and 20%. The impact of these changes on actual water stresses will depend on how water resources are managed in the future.

Quantifiable downregulation of endogenous genes in Agaricus bisporus mediated by expression of RNA hairpins
Costa, Ana M. S. B., Thomas, D. John I., Eastwood, Daniel C., Cutler, Simon B., Bailey, Andy M., Foster, Gary D., Mills, P. R. (Peter R.) and Challen, Michael P.. (2009) Quantifiable downregulation of endogenous genes in Agaricus bisporus mediated by expression of RNA hairpins. Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, Vol.19 (No.3). pp. 271-276. ISSN 1017-7825
Full text not available from this repository.
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.4014/jmb.0806.398
Functional gene studies in the cultivated white button mushroom Agaricus bisporus have been constrained by the absence of effective gene-silencing tools. Using two endogenous genes from A. bisporus, we have tested the utility of dsRNA hairpin constructs to mediate downregulation of specific genes. Hairpin constructs for genes encoding orotidine 5'-monophosphate decarboxylase (URA3) and carboxin resistance (CBX) were introduced into A. bisporus using Agrobacterium-mediated transfection. Although predicted changes in phenotype were not observed in vitro, quantitative-PCR analyses indicated unambiguously that transcripts in several transformants were substantially reduced compared with the non-transformed controls. Interestingly, some hairpin transformants exhibited increased transcription of target genes. Our observations show that hairpin transgenic sequences can mediate downregulation of A. bisporus endogenous genes and that the technology has the potential to expedite functional genomics of the mushroom.

Introduction to VBasic |
VBasic in Microsoft Visual Basic |
Introduction |
Microsoft Visual Basic is a production environment used to create computer applications for the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems. The environment is fairly easy to use but you must know its "language". At its foundation, Microsoft Visual Basic uses a language that has been developed and improved over the years. It started with Basic but has had incremental flavors such as QuickBasic or QBasic. Microsoft Visual Basic is used to create graphical applications, also referred to as Graphical User Interface (GUI) applications, web-based applications, and other types. In order to effectively create these applications, you must be familiar with the language used in this programming environment. Most other programming environments use a known but separate language. For example, Microsoft Visual C++ uses the C++ language. Borland Delphi uses the Object Pascal language, Microsoft Visual C# uses the C# language, Borland JBuilder uses the Java language. There is no official name for the language used by Microsoft Visual Basic. Because we want to distinguish that language from Microsoft Visual Basic, on this site, we will call it VBasic. |
Practical Learning: Introducing VBasic |
Module Module1 Sub Main() MsgBox("This is the wonderful world of VBasic") End Sub End Module |
A comment is text that the compiler doesn't consider when reading your code. As such a comment can be written any way you want. In VBasic, the line that contains a comment can start with a single quote. Here is an example: Module Module1 Sub Main() ' This line will not be considered as part of the code End Sub End Module Alternatively, you can start a comment with the Rem keyword. Anything on the right side of rem, Rem, or REM would not be read. Here is an example: Module Module1 Sub Main() ' This line will not be considered as part of the code Rem I can write anything I want on this line End Sub End Module Comments are very useful and you are strongly suggested to use comments regularly. They can never hurt your code and they don't increase the size of your application. Comments can help you and other people who read your code to figure out what a particular section of code is used for, which can be helpful when you re-visit your code after months or years of not seeing it.
When writing code, you will have to separate different parts with spaces, like the one between Sub and Main. This is referred to as white space. The amount of space you put between two words is not important. The compiler would ignore the white spaces between words. This means that Sub Main() and Sub Main() would the same effect. In the same way Sub Main() and Sub Main() would produce the same effect. |

Voters in California's largest city go to the polls today to elect a mayor. The $19 million spent in the Los Angeles mayoral primary alone made it the most expensive on record.
The city has a projected deficit of $216 million. Angelinos worry they could follow San Bernardino and Stockton into bankruptcy. City workers were given a wage increase set to take effect soon, raising pressure on the budget. Many city union contracts expire next year, so employee unions have doled out money and troops to the candidate they deem "the fairest of them all" in terms of pensions, pay, and security.
Today's election might teach us a few lessons about what to expect in future mayoral elections – particularly as California continues turning politically blue:
•Partisan politics. Gov. Schwarzenegger declared a new era of post-partisanship in California. He was wrong. Power doesn't relinquish power without a fight. Even the California Democratic Party declared war on any Democrat who dares to take on the special interests who have fed the party by daring to fight for kids first in our public education system. The two candidates on the ballot – Eric Garcetti and Wendy Greuel – are locked in a heated struggle over who is the "uber-Democrat" ... even as they quietly court Republican voters!
•Dues power. Unions have played a significant role in bankrolling candidates who support union agendas. Increasingly, however, voters of all stripes have become less willing to cede city treasuries to this powerful interest group, and candidates are being forced to tread more carefully in trumpeting their endorsements.
Greuel, for example, won the County Federation of Labor endorsement – something that appears to be hurting her with voters more than it would have in the past. Wanting to keep the federation's money and troops, she's flipped and flopped on pensions and contracts. Simultaneously, Garcetti was castigated by the federation for having voted to moderately scale back pension benefits for future city employees. His leadership on pensions, however, appears to have actually helped him with voters.
On the other hand, he's not trumpeting his endorsement by the teacher's union. It is here where Republican, Independent, and disaffected Democratic voters may actually have the most sway in an anticipated low-turnout election.
•Follow the money. With labor contracts about to expire, unionized city utility workers spent some $2 million in the primary on Greuel's behalf. The union for police officers, whose contract is also up, just poured in over $1.4 million for her. Yet another labor committee spent some $3.8 million for her. It's now all about the political action committees – the candidates' campaigns are almost irrelevant.
•Demographic shifts. The Latino vote can no longer be taken for granted in California, and both candidates are seeking it. But Garcetti's ancestry is being questioned by Greuel supporters who claim he's "masquerading as a Latino" and accuse him of being "tied" to an anti-immigrant Arizona sheriff.
Greuel is being attacked for having been a Republican in 1994 when Proposition 187 – the measure that sought to deny undocumented immigrants access to public services – was passed. Critics contend she must have supported Prop. 187 since she was a Republican, which she denies. Spanish-language union-paid ads are outright trying to buy the Latino vote by claiming that "la Wendy" will raise the minimum wage to $15. (they've remained silent on a "pollo in every pot," however).
Some lessons from the campaign trail. Not surprisingly, voters are disillusioned with the nastiness and pettiness. Projections are for a diminished turnout. But, perhaps that's how elections now will be won.

The flood of cascading blocks starts slowly, with only a few blocks to start. Before you know it, you'll be madly scrambling to avoid being turned into a marshmallow pancake.
