I've come across cppunit but it didn't look super-easy to use (maybe I didn't look hard, maybe because C++ doesn't work like Java/C#). Are there widely used, simple alternatives?
In fact, is cppunit the standard unit testing framework for C++?
I've come across cppunit but it didn't look super-easy to use (maybe I didn't look hard, maybe because C++ doesn't work like Java/C#). Are there widely used, simple alternatives?
In fact, is cppunit the standard unit testing framework for C++?
There is no standard unit testing library for C++. There are many choices to choose from; cppunit being one of them.
At my company we use Google Test along with its partner Google Mock for unit testing and object mocking. I find them both combined easier to use and much more powerful than cppunit.
There is no standard unit testing framework for C++
I recommend you take a look at this blog post comparing various C++ unit testing frameworks.
I've just pushed my own framework, CATCH, out there. It's still under development but I believe it already surpasses most other frameworks. Different people have different criteria but I've tried to cover most ground without too many trade-offs. Take a look at my linked blog entry for a taster. My top five features are:
It also has Objective-C bindings.
As an example, here's how you'd write the equivalent of the gtest example that @dmeister cited:
If a test failed you'd still get the LHS and RHS values logged independentaly.
gtest, Google's Test Framework is an alternative.
Here is a simple example from the documentation:
It also plays nicely with gmock, Google's mock framework for C++
Here's a list of unit testing libraries.
However, as far as I know, cppunit is the most popular.
CppUnit probably is the first unit test framework for C++. It's a direct port of Junit, the famous Java framework. This makes the transition from Junit easier, but at the cost of a somewhat heavy framework, that does not take advantage of C++ capability such as RAII. That's the reason why lightweight versions such as CppUnitLite, NanoCppUnit have been created. CppUnit2 was supposed to improve this, among other improvements.
Tut used to be very light, just one header, but the latest versions introduced a library.
As far as a "standard" framework is concerned, there is none, and C++1X does not define one.
I created a testing suite called saru ( http://github.com/squishyhumans/saru ) for my own code dev. Its a BSD licensed code. I developed it as I didn't like several of the features of other testing suites. Its not widely used, but I've used it on several commercial projects spread across two companies.
So saru addresses most of these features. Its focus is on being able to run a suite of tests written in different languages. With minimal test sizes. Here's the smallest (failing) C++ test
All saru really cares about is the return value of the binary that it compiles. It then parses the output to determine what tests failed and so on. It has headers to make working with C++ a little nicer than the above trivial example :
Or if you don't like the way its C++ headers work it should be able to integrate with other unittesting libraries with minimal difficulty.
But it will also run tests that are written in PHP & python. So you can set up full functional tests with saru. Or you can run something like lint over your code as part of the test suite.
Here's a minimal C++ unit testing library: https://github.com/vahidk/minimal-cpp-test
It has very similar syntax to Google test library but it's a header only library and therefore easier to port across platforms.
Here's a minimal unit test:
And a minimal fixture:
Hope this helps.

Terran Empire Shadow Legion (KDF)/Terran Empire Special Forces (FED)
Who we are:
We are a Terran Empire themed fleet based on the premise that the Terran Empire
has overthrown the Cardassian/Klingon alliance in the mirror universe and has re-established
the Terran Empire. Having destroyed the alliance for now, the Empire has hand selected
officers to replace their counterparts in the Federation to undermine the Federation as payment for Federation interference. Our KDF fleet consists of deep cover Terran Empire agents alterned with high tech biological disguises developed with denombulan technology. Their aim is to undermine the Klingon Empire as payment for their slavery and to prevent
the prime universe Klingons from helping their mirror counterparts. We are a global fleet of about 75 members in North America, Europe, and Australia.
Who we seek:
We seek active members for STF missions (ground and space), Fleet PvE, general PvE for ranking members, joint episode missions, PvP, and fleet RP (this needs to be developed, leadership positions are available for fleet RP). All ranks are welcome so long as you are a Terran fan, but we particularly need people in the Australian time zone.
*We have an additional rule for our KDF fleet. Our KDF fleet is for more advanced members, so we want seasoned veterans. We also require membership in both fleets to join our KDF fleet. The reason for this is: we seek to further Terran interests, not Klingon interests, and the Fed (Terrans) are wimps attitude isn't desired.
To apply to our fleet please send us a message on our website at:
Long live the Empire!

What set the United States on the path to developing commercial nuclear energy in the 1950s, and what led to the seeming demise of that industry in the late 1970s? Why, in spite of the depletion of fossil fuels and the obvious dangers of global warming, has the United States moved so slowly toward adopting alternatives? In Energy and Empire, George A. Gonzalez presents a clear and concise argument demonstrating that economic elites tied their advocacy of the nuclear energy option to post-1945 American foreign policy goals. At the same time, these elites opposed government support for other forms of energy, such as solar, that cannot be dominated by one nation. While researchers have blamed safety concerns and other factors as helping to arrest the expansion of domestic nuclear power plant construction, Gonzalez points to an entirely different set of motivations stemming from the loss of America's domination/control of the enrichment of nuclear fuel. Once foreign countries could enrich their own fuel, civilian nuclear power ceased to be a lever the United States could use to economically/politically dominate other nations. Instead, it became a major concern relating to nuclear weapons proliferation.

Sectarian movements
Before the Muslim invasion of the subcontinent, the new forms of south Indian bhakti had spread beyond the bounds of the Tamil-, Kannada-, and Telugu-speaking areas. Certain Vaishnava theologians of the Pancharatra and Bhagavata schools gave the growing Vaishnava bhakti cults a philosophical framework that also influenced some Shaivite schools.
Several Vaishnava teachers deserve mention, including Ramanuja, a Tamil Brahman of the 11th century who was for a time chief priest of the Vaishnava temple of Srirangam, and Nimbarka, a Telugu Brahman of the 12th or 13th century who spread the cult of the divine cowherd and of Radha, his favourite gopi (cowherdess, especially associated with the legends of Krishna's youth). His sect survives near Mathura but has made little impact elsewhere. More important was Vallabha (Vallabhacharya; 1479–1531), who emphasized the erotic imagery of the Vaishnava doctrine of grace and established a sect that stressed absolute obedience to the guru (teacher). Early in its existence the sect was organized with a hierarchy of senior leaders (gosvami), many of whom became very rich. The Vallabhacharya sect, once very influential in the western half of north India, declined in the 19th century, in part because of a number of lawsuits against the chief guru, the descendant of Vallabha.
The Shaiva sects also developed from the 10th century onward. In south India there emerged the school of Shaiva-siddhanta, still one of the most significant religious forces in that region and one that, unlike the school of Shankara, does not accept the full identity of the soul and God. A completely monistic school of Shaivism appeared in Kashmir in the early 9th century. Its doctrines differ from those of Shankara chiefly because it attributes personality to the absolute spirit, who is the god Shiva and not the impersonal brahman.
An important sect, founded in the 12th century in the Kannada-speaking area of the Deccan, was that of the Lingayats, or Virashaivas ("Heroes of the Shaiva Religion"). Its traditional founder, Basava, taught doctrines and practices of surprising unorthodoxy: he opposed all forms of image worship and accepted only the lingam of Shiva as a sacred symbol. Virashaivism rejected the Vedas, the Brahman priesthood, and all caste distinctions. It also consciously rejected several religious and social conventions, such as the ban against the remarriage of widows, and practiced burial rather than cremation of the dead.
Shaivism underwent significant growth in northern India. In the 13th century Gorakhnath (also known as Gorakshanatha), who became leader of a sect of Shaivite ascetics known as Nathas ("Lords") from the title of their chief teachers, introduced new ideas and practices to Shaivism. The Gorakhnathis were particularly important as propagators of Hatha Yoga, a form of Yoga that requires complex and difficult physical exercises and that has become popular in the West. These yogis, who are still numerous, influenced the teachings of several of the bhakti poets.

How agencies cut $18B in improper payments
Wednesday - 11/16/2011, 7:26pm EST
By Jolie Lee
Federal News Radio
Agencies were able to stop $18 billion in improper payments last year by using technology and forging partnerships with each other, said Danny Werfel, controller at the Office of Management and Budget, in an interview with In Depth with Francis Rose.
One example of large reductions in improper payments came from Pell Grants. Historically, errors were caused by students or applicants misreporting their income. The Department of Education and the Internal Revenue Service partnered so that students filling out applications online could migrate income data directly from IRS, Werfel said.
"So it's less burdensome for the student or the applicant because they're not searching for their tax form trying to find the relevant information, and it produces less error because you're producing information from the trusted source," Werfel said.
The White House said this week the government had reduced its payment error from a rate of 5.3 percent in 2010 to a rate of 4.7 percent in 2011. The crackdown on improper payments is part of President Obama's Campaign to Cut Waste, launched two years ago with the goal of reducing payment errors by $50 billion before 2013.
"One of the root causes of why federal agencies make payments to the wrong person or the wrong amount or the wrong purpose is we don't have the information we need in real time to help prevent that improper payment from being made," Werfel said.
The administration's initiative to stop improper payments includes recovering improper payments that have already been made. The President set a goal to recapture $2 billion in improper payments by 2013. So far, agencies have collected $1.9 billion.
"A year early, we are almost at that goal, which tells me we are going to exceed that goal, which I'm very proud of," Werfel said.
Werfel said the responsibility of ensuring payments are to the right people, right amounts and right reasons lies with the government. But the contractors have a responsibility too to be a "good, sound partner with the federal government."
"I think there's joint responsibility to make sure taxpayer dollars are protected," he said.

Thank you to the Artwork Department, they made suggestions to necessary color changes and the pens I purchased turned out great.The pens are as expected, lightweight but nice writers. Only wished the logo had a more wrapped around look as when pens are clipped onto shirt, logo or text cannot be seen... However, for the price and quality of print work, I would recommend this product.

UnderGround Forums >> How I Look at Rampage's $15.2 Million From UFC

"Your main liability is providing for yourself after you retire. That's your primary liability, and that is an enormous liability. And very few people make adequate provision for it."
-Ben Stein
There was an interesting tidbit in Ariel Helwani's pre-fight interview with Dana White yesterday. According to White, from 2007 to 2012 Quinton "Rampage" Jackson made a total of $15.2 million in the UFC. I do not know if this includes sponsorship money or other income sources, but according to White, Rampage made $15.2 million in the UFC from 2007 to 2012.
Let's break this number down from an investing perspective. For the sake of this exercise, let's just assume Jackson got paid an average of the total $15.2 million each year. And let's also assume the "a third, a third, a third" rule, which states that if you can save a third of your income after paying a third to taxes and another third for living expenses, you will be ahead of the game in the long run.
2007 to 2012 is a total of six years. $15.2 million divided over six years is an income of $2,533,333 for each of those six years. One third of $2,533,333 is $844,444. So assume for each of those six years Jackson paid $844,444 in taxes and $844,444 on living expenses and discretionary spending (everything from movies to cars to vacations). That leaves him with the last third of his annual income to save and invest. If in each of the six years Jackson saved the last third of his annual income, which was $844,444, he would now have a lump sum of $5,066,666. Jackson turns 35 in June, so let's look at what would happen to this lump sum of $5,066,666 if he was to invest it.
For nearly two centuries, stocks have generated an average return of 7% in real, inflation adjusted dollars. Bonds have generated average real returns of 3.5%. Remember, we are talking about inflation-adjusted real returns. We are talking about purchasing power, not nominal value. If Jackson invested his $5.06 million by allocating 70% in stocks and 30% in bonds, his money would generate an average real return of 5.95% of the long term. Let's look at what would happen if Jackson retired at age 35 with his money invested.
If Jackson wanted to take out $250,000 each year to live on, and keep the rest of his money invested in stocks and bonds, his money would grow to $9,099,892 in real purchasing power when he was 65 years old. If he continued to take out $250,000 a year to live on, by the time he reached 80 years old, his money would have grown to $15,857,746 in real purchasing power. Jackson could do nothing for the rest of his life, live on a quarter million dollars a year, and end up with $9 million when he is 65 years old and almost $15.8 million when he is 80 years old.
An annual income of $250,000 will put you in the top 1.5% of household incomes in America. If Jackson saved a third of his income for the last six years and invested 70% of it in stocks and 30% of it in bonds, then he could never work another day in his life, earn more income than 98.5% of American households each year, and still end up with $9 million dollars in the bank when he was 65 years old.
According to Dana White, Quinton Jackson earned $15.2 million dollars from the UFC over the last six years. If he had saved a third of that money, he could invest it for the next 30 years, earn an annual income without having to work that puts him in the top 1.5% of households, and end up with $9 million at the standard retirement age of 65. This exercise shows the importance and power of saving money and investing it over a lifetime. What Ben Stein says it true; the young you's job is to provide for the old you.

If only Jackson included a jew in his entourage, he would have gone down this route.

Secret Santa Drops Krugerrand In Donation Bucket
By editor
Originally published on Fri December 16, 2011 2:23 pm
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne with news of a mysterious donation found in a Salvation Army bucket in Pennsylvania. A gold South African Krugerrand - worth about $1,700 - was found in a kettle Wednesday outside a Wal-Mart. This isn't the first time this has happened. The coins seem to appear almost every year near Gettysburg. Similar coins have been discovered in Salvation Army collections from Tennessee to Chicago. Still, no one's figures out who the secret Santa is. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Also, I have had a couple of M3s years ago and wanted to put the M2/M3 on the short list but have recently read a number of horror stories about "dim rangefinders, de-silvering rangefinder prisms" which I understand are non-repairable and I don't particularly want to buy into that risk. I also see this problem mentioned on some of KEH's offerings also.
Is this a common problem now that the early Leicas are nearing 55 years old?
Thanks again, everyone!
I've owned a single stroke M3 and a 2 stroke M3 for many years. No rangefinder problems ever - with either of them-. Klaus of Thousand Oaks has performed all my Leica service (He's retired now).

No first hand, as I am not a fan of Ti for offroad use, and at $990 (after 15% off) it is just plain too spendy for my taste's.
From what I have read on various forums, everyone in the know seems to find the same thing, nothing else comes close. There is a lot of combined LC4 experience, dyno runs, etc. over at the Monomaniacs site, and they seem pretty strong in their recomendation of the Akrapovic system. I would take a hard look at what the guys at Monomaniacs and KTMtalk have posted concerning this system, no one seems to be complaining, it really seems to make these bikes come alive.
My point is primarily that adding a slip on for power IMHO is a waste of time, unless you just do not want to spend the time to modify the OEM Supertrap. (There is restriction in both the headpipes and in the silencer, but the silencers are pretty easy to open up.) I personally could not stand the OEM Supertrap, I did not want to spend time modifying it, and I liked the looks and sound of the SXC Supermoto silencer, so that is what I went with, but power gains were really not what I was looking for, or what I found with the addition of this silencer. I did the airbox mod, carb jetting and added the SXC Supermoto silencer all at the same time, so it is hard to say what made the biggest contribution, but based on the dyno runs, and more so my experience with my Duke II, I feel strongly that the airbox and jetting gave the biggest improvements, although all three are required to get the most out of each individual change.

Google's CEO Transition Part of Long-Term Plan, Hennessy Says
March 15 (Bloomberg) -- Google Inc.'s move to put co-founder Larry Page back in charge as chief executive officer in April is part of a broader plan, said John L. Hennessy, president of Stanford University.
"This should really be viewed as something that the company was moving to over the long term," said Hennessy, who sits on the board of Google, owner of the largest Internet search engine. "The time has come, I think, when Larry's ready to step up to that role -- and really help lead the company and help integrate the product strategy together with the business strategy."
Eric Schmidt, who has been CEO of Google since 2001, did an "incredible job" in helping lead the company over the past several years, Hennessy said in an interview on "Bloomberg West" today. Mountain View, California-based Google announced in January that Schmidt will step down and become executive chairman.

Retail District Managers in the United States are often veterans in their line of work, with just over a half bringing more than 10 years of experience to the table. Salaries slide in at $70K annually on average but can range from $46K to $117K per year. Overall cash earnings for Retail District Managers stretch from $46K on the lower end to $117K near the top, and the heftiest packages can encompass around $25K from bonuses and $16K from profit sharing. While geography and tenure impact pay for this group, the company is the most influential factor. Men make up a slight majority of Retail District Managers (55 percent) who responded to the survey. Most Retail District Managers report high levels of job satisfaction. Medical benefits are awarded to most, and a large number earn dental coverage. The information for this snapshot was generated by responses to the PayScale salary survey.

Retail district managers investigate all complaints and claims against employees and management of the businesses in the districts that they oversee, as well as ensure that operations flow smoothly. If there are any issues, then the retail district manager must smooth them out either through exercising disciplinary action or by providing needed support and resources.Read More...
Retail district manager must have the right mindset and personality for the job. Unlike other jobs, the position is not studied for in a college or university setting. While a bachelor's degree in business or related fields can be helpful in getting a job, skills acquired in an on-the-job setting are important. A retail district manager must be studious, accommodating, and able to adhere to company policy and legal regulations at all times. They must demonstrate exceptional competence in management positions and show that they are capable of communicating with customers and employees. Corporations will often have training programs that allow employees and potential employees to train to become assistant mangers, then managers, and eventually district managers.
Retail district managers are typically located at a regional corporate office, where they remotely provide assistance, advice, and action to all stores in their district. They will sometimes make physical appearances in stores to conduct inspections and to ensure quality of the retail chain.

Retail District Managers who transition into a VP of Operations role may receive large pay increases as the latter position pays an average $122K per year. Becoming a Regional Retail Manager is, more often than not, the most common role that Retail District Managers move into when they're ready for the next step in their career. A median salary for a Regional Retail Manager is $72K. Another frequent advance is for Retail District Managers to assume a Regional Sales Manager role; in this role, workers often take home $84K.
Dominating the field, Dollar General Corporation, Family Dollar Stores Inc, Starbucks Corporation, Advance Auto Parts, Inc., and Speedway SuperAmerica LLC are top firms with a reputation for hiring a great number of Retail District Managers. The biggest paychecks can be found at Sears Holdings Corporation — the median salary there is $114K; however, employees are subject to a wide range in pay, with the lowest salaries sitting near $30K and highest ones in the neighborhood of $148K. CVS Caremark Corporation, Family Dollar Stores Inc, and Bath & Body Works Inc also offer top salaries for Retail District Managers. Workers at these firms can expect to earn about $106K, $89K, and $87K, respectively.
With a median employee salary of $56K, Speedway SuperAmerica LLC pays significantly less than its competitors (less than half of the top paying company's rate). Employees at Goodwill Industries, Rue21, Inc., and Dollar Tree Stores Inc can also expect below-average earnings of $59K, $60K, and $76K.
Retail District Managers report using a large range of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in Profit & Loss Statements, Financial Analysis, Human Resources, and Operations Management are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 3 percent and 19 percent. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Training Management and Training. Most people who know Leadership also know Operations Management and Sales Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Retail District Managers with a lot of experience do not necessarily enjoy more money. Although individuals who have less than five years' experience earn $64K on average, people with five to 10 years benefit from a notably larger average of $73K. After working for 10 to 20 years, Retail District Managers make a median salary of $80K. Retail District Managers who surpass 20 years on the job report pay that isn't as high as one would expect; the median compensation for this crowd sits around $86K.
For Retail District Managers, busy San Francisco offers a higher-than-average pay rate, 33 percent above the national average. Retail District Managers can also look forward to large paychecks in cities like New York (+18 percent), Seattle (+10 percent), Orlando (+10 percent), and Chicago (+7 percent). With compensation 11 percent below the national average, Cleveland is not known for hefty paychecks and actually represents the lowest-paying market.

National Talent Squads
Thousands of children go through the English club structure every year and the ASA has a development pathway to ensure that once a young person's talent is identified it is nurtured to help them reach their full potential as well as a specific Water Polo Talent Development Programme.
This programme takes youngsters who have already shown promise in water polo and gives them access to quality coaching, athlete educational schemes and sports science within a training camp environment that will prepare them for future international competition.
Players must achieve certain levels of attainment which includes swimming, basic technique and game awareness to be selected onto the development programmes.
They then receive varying support depending on their level but this will include training camps, anthropological measurements and lifestyle management.
National Talent Camps
A National Talent Camp takes place in January every year where trials are held for the different ASA National Talent squads.
All trialists are profiled and expected to:
- Make specific swim times.
- Show good core skills (eggbeater leg kick, passing, shooting).
- Show a good understanding and knowledge of water polo through game play.
- Demonstrate good physical ability for the sport.
From these trials, players are either selected or offered areas for improvement with a possibility of a re-trial at a later date, subject to re-nomination by their RTC.
All squads train on a monthly basis between February and June and it is envisaged they will undertake international tours.
July and August will be available for selected squad players to attend Millfield National Academy and/or travel abroad for an 'end of season' camp.
Regional Training Centres
RTCs will continue to be a fundamental element to the overall National Talent Programme. Players born 1999 - 2002 will initially be invited to these sessions.
For the third and final block, the 1999s will fall out in March to allow 2003 to take part with a view to this age group attending the National Academy in August along with other year groups as highlighted above.

CSXT Unveils The World's Most Powerful Single-Engine Locomotive
BALTIMORE, Md., Sept. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- During ceremonies today at the B&O Railroad Museum in Baltimore, the birthplace of American railroading, CSX Transportation Inc. (CSXT) launched commercial railroading into the 21st Century by commissioning the world's most powerful locomotive, the GE AC60OOCW.
CSXT President and CEO A. R. "Pete" Carpenter, together with GE Transportation Systems President and CEO David Calhoun, and more than 100 guests participated in festivities marking the AC6000's introduction into revenue service on CSXT rail lines.
Flanked on one side by a replica of Peter Cooper's historic "Tom Thumb," the nation's first practical steam locomotive, and the new 210-ton, 76-foot- long AC60OOCW, Carpenter said the goal of the joint project was to establish a new standard of locomotive performance for the next century.
"This state-of-the-art locomotive is a prime example of our continuing goal to introduce the safest, most technologically advanced equipment available to assist us in achieving our service reliability objectives in Maryland and throughout the CSXT system. During 1996 we will spend $315 million on our locomotive and car fleets. This means real value added for our customers," Carpenter explained.
Designed and built by GE Transportation Systems of Erie, Pa., in partnership with CSX Transportation, the high-adhesion, six-axle locomotive is equipped with a complete alternating current (AC) traction system rated at 6000 horsepower traction, at a cost of over $2 million each. The AC6000 offers the highest traction rating ever produced in a single-engine freight locomotive -- 166,000 pounds of continuous tractive effort, or pulling power. The locomotive is environmentally friendly and features a newly developed diesel engine that will set new standards for increased fuel efficiency and lower emissions in rail applications.
"The AC6000CW will deliver unprecedented power, reliability and productivity to our customer CSXT which, in turn, will enable the railroad to better serve its freight customers across Maryland and throughout the Eastern United States," Calhoun said. "Since the early 1960s, GE has delivered over 1,000 locomotives to CSXT and its predecessor railroads. As we prepare to begin the next century, it is most appropriate that we extend our partnership through such a significant leap in locomotive technology."
CSXT will place 53 of these diesel-electric locomotives into service during the next two years. The advanced locomotive can translate 90 tons of its weight into pulling power and is capable of attaining a maximum speed of 75 mph. The broad application range of the GE AC6000 will enable CSXT to further improve its service performance in all types of freight service.
CSXT's use of the powerful locomotive will allow a reduction in the total number and types of locomotives the company requires, and a decrease in capital investment previously needed to maintain service performance. CSXT and GE expect the outstanding performance potential of the new locomotive will permit the use of single AC6000s on trains that had previously required two or even three conventional direct-current locomotives.
GE Transportation Systems is one of the 12 major businesses of General Electric Company. It is one of the world's leading surface transportation companies, producing locomotives, transit propulsion control systems and electric motorized wheels for mining vehicles. It has headquarters in Erie, Pa., and employs more than 5,500 employees throughout the world.
CSXT and its 29,500 employees provide rail transportation and distribution services over an 18,600 route-mile network in 20 states, the District of Columbia and Ontario, Canada. CSXT is a business unit of CSX Corporation, headquartered in Richmond, Va.

Locomotives Using AC Propulsion Deliver On Tough Proving Ground
CSX Transportation's investment in alternating-current (AC) propulsion for its locomotives confirms the technology's viability. By the third quarter of 1997, CSXT's locomotive fleet will include 341 AC units.
The AC locomotives, built by GE Transportation Systems, Erie, Pa., are delivering superb performance. Some observers say the AC locomotives are the most significant development in motive power since the transition from steam to diesel-electric locomotives began in the 1930s.
Compared to conventional direct-current locomotives, AC locomotives offer increased reliability and improved operating characteristics, says John Basso, vice president-supply and services management.
"Locomotive reliability is key to delivering the higher level of service required by our customers," Basso says. "The AC technology has proven itself in the difficult railroad operating environment."
CSXT has 220 AC locomotives in its fleet, and will take delivery of 33 more by December. By the time all orders are delivered, including 25 SD70MACs from the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors Corporation, CSXT will have 341 AC locomotives. That represents about 10 percent of its fleet of 3,000 locomotives.
The AC4400CW locomotives now in use develop 4,400 horsepower that produces 145,000 pounds of continuous tractive effort, or pulling power. Both GE and EMD models feature electronic fuel injection for enhanced fuel efficiency and reduced exhaust emissions, and radial wheel assemblies that reduce wheel and rail wear.
The Spirit of Maryland on display today represents the most powerful single-engine locomotive in the world today, and CSXT is the first railroad in North America to place this technology into service.
The AC6000CW locomotives develop 166,000 pounds of continuous tractive effort, and have a fuel capacity of 6,000 gallons -- that's enough to drive a typical car more than 100,000 miles without stopping.
But it is the application of alternating-current propulsion that sets these monsters and their 4,400 brethren apart.
AC motors have long been the workhorses of industry. Factories, for example, use AC motors because they receive their electric power as alternating current from the local utility. Locomotives, howeve, receive power from on-board diesel generators, called prime movers, that produce direct current. Hence, they are called diesel-electric locomotives.
It is the traction motors that drive the wheels; the diesel engine is the generator. Until a few years ago, the equipment required to convert direct current into alternating current was too bulky, expensive and inefficient to be used as locomotive motors. Now, locomotive manufacturers have developed inverters to convert direct current (DC) to alternating current that are compact and efficient enough for locomotives.
In a DC motor, a rotating cylinder must touch electrical contacts called brushes, which are high-maintenance items. AC motors do not require brushes because they use the alternating characteristics of the current. As the current rapidly alternates its direction of flow, magnets alternately attract and repel a cylinder, causing it to rotate.
FAST FACTS ABOUT THE SPIRIT OF MARYLAND Locomotive model AC6000CW Length 76 feet Weight 206 tons (fully fueled, sanded) Continuous tractive effort 166,000 pounds Maximum speed 75 mph Control system Onboard microprocessor computers, which maximize performance and diagnose any problems Other features High-adhesion steerable trucks (wheel assemblies).

Some quick hits from Saturday's early afternoon practice at Anaheim Ice, where there was a decent showing of fans getting one last close look at the Ducks ...
[caption id="attachment_34461" align="alignright" width="257" caption="Ducks fans have a message for Teemu Selanne at a March 29 game."][/caption]
Coach Randy Carlyle said it was "most probable" that veterans Scott Niedermayer, Teemu Selanne and Saku Koivu will return to the lineup for Sunday's season finale at Honda Center.
The three had been held out of a recent two-game road trip in the interest of getting a look at the team's younger players. Carlyle acknowledged that it might be the last games for Niedermayer and Selanne, who are playing out the end of their one-year contracts and could be playing their last games as Ducks.
The two had thoughts about that, which we will get to later.
Coincidentally, the Ducks played the role of opposing team in farewell games for Dallas' Mike Modano and St. Louis' Keith Tkachuk, although Modano has not officially announced his retirement.
"It was great to see that they're both happy," said Selanne, who played with Tkachuk in Winnipeg.
Said Carlyle, "Obviously there was lots of attention from the home side in the last two games. Two energy-packed buildings for the home side with lots of emotion and passion for some people that have played the game a long time."
---Niedermayer said he was told after Tuesday's game that he, along with Selanne, Koivu and Todd Marchant, would not be going on the road trip.
Niedermayer said he would have liked to have played but that the decision wasn't "a total shock" given the team's elimination from the playoffs. Niedermayer and Selanne like to play, though, no matter the circumstances.
"That's what we do, right?" Niedermayer said.
---Marchant has an oblique strain and will not play Sunday. Marchant suffered the injury on April 3 against the Kings, according to Carlyle, and had played through it until the Ducks were eliminated from playoff contention.
Carlyle did not deem the injury serious.
---Ryan Getzlaf did not skate Saturday and there is no possibility of him playing in the last game. The center has missed the past eight games with an ankle injury.

is it possible to rotate a graph. i need to turn my stacked cone graph upside-down so that the point is facing down and not upView 2 Replies
I am trying to chart a range of dates, for example. I have some boats that are on contract between dates a and b. I would liketo plot several boats with their contract date range. I have tried using a bar chart, but all the lines start at 0. I got it working using an Excel 2007 Stock chart, however, it is in the wrong orientation. I would like to Rotate the Chart 90 degrees, swap the axis, or find a better method all together. I cannot post the spreadsheet as its confidential.View 2 Replies View Related
I have a spreadsheet created in Excel 2003 (which is what we use at work, unfortunately).
My employees periodically take a test to ensure they have certain items memorized (or are making progress to that end). The spreadsheet rows show all 46 of my employees, and their test scores. The columns are the dates that the tests are administered. I can create a line graph based on the chart data, and interpolate these data with no problems.
The problem is that there are 46 employees! 46 lines on the same graph make for a very cluttered, hard to understand visual. I want to simplify the view by "filtering out" some of the data.
I have an additional column in my spreadsheet for each employee's work area (Area 1, Area 2, etc), and another column with data based on first letter of last name (the values here could be "A-G", "H-M", "N-S" and "T-Z", for example). I figure i could filter my line graph based on these two columns. For example, somehow select just Area 1, and reduce the number of lines on the graph to 16. Or better yet, Choose "Area 2" AND "A-M" and end up with 7 employees (and therefore 7 lines on the graph).
Here's what i have tried:
1) Select the work area column, and use the Filter, which created a drop-down list at the column heading. When i use this drop-down list, i can easily filter the data in the worksheet by Work Area, but this is not reflected in the line graph, which still shows all 46 lines. The problem was that i forgot that i had set the Calculation Options to "Manual". Setting this to "Automatic" (or leaving it on Manual and pressing F9) solved the problem, as the chart now updates when i use the filters. Calculation options are under the "Formula" tab in 2007, or in Tools -> Options -> [either calculation or formula, i forget what it's called] in 2003.
2) Create several separate line graphs in several separate sheets. I wouldn't want to assign someone else the task of maintaining a spreadsheet of such inefficient design.
I am trying to graph the following data in an area chart with line charts superimposed on the area chart. I have a lot of data (and a lot going on) so I'm trying to figure out the best way to show this in excel from a functional standpoing (i can't get this to work in excel!!) to also an asthetic standpoint (dont want it to look terrible or illegible). This is what I'm trying to chart:
1) Weather data (temperature) by region:
So one region, would be: Northwest
I would like the "area" (so a shaded region) to be the min/max of the temperature data for each month.
2) I would like to show the temperature for each year as a line graph on the chart - so you can see if a year falls in or out of the shaded region.
3) I would like to show a company's sales increases across the same months per year as separate line charts. I may choose to just show the biggest outlier year in the end... or to show 2006 (the latest data).
What I am trying to convery with the chart is that the company's sales is or is not tied to weather deviations. I have attached an excel file with the data. I haven't been able to use the area chart or get a two axis chart to work or get it to look even remotely professional.
I have created some charts for my work and one of them is a line chart that spreads across one year with values for each month. Well they want the graph to always show one month ahead of where we are out. So there is actuals in for Sep. but then the line graph drops all the way to 0 for Oct. I don't want to have the graph bottom out when there is a zero. Does anyone know how to fix this?View 9 Replies View Related
I was tracking down simple ways to generate ASCII character based bar charts and came across this stunningIncellBarChartExample where the author suggested this can be done using VBA code.
I am very new to Excel and EXCEL VBA. Can someone help me sketch how the coding for the above example (include mixed colors) might be done? Is there a special font that need to be used?
I need to plot percentages over time in a line graph in excel. I don't want to have to do a percentage equation in the spreadsheet, I just want excel to take two sets of values and display the percentage in the chart. For example, I need B1 as a percentage of B2 for week 1, C1 as a percentage of C2 for week 2, etc....View 3 Replies View Related

I am trying to figure out how to activate a macro from each item in a drop down list. I also need the macro to recognize which item is chosen and to use that items data (say cells C3:C11) to create its graph. I know how to create an individual macro that will create a graph for the item but not a general macro that can be used to graph all items just discerning the difference in where the data is (which item to graph). Is this possible????if so please include code (amatuer programmer).View 9 Replies View Related
I'm trying to graph a bell curve chart using the following data
Hotels per state
[Code] ......
As you can see I have states and the number of hotels per state what I need not for statistical purposes but more for "pretyness" is to sort this data in a way that what you get is a somewhat of a bell shape curve graph.
I've been working on this for a couple hours and I am close to getting it how I want. Basically I want to have a rolling 15 month graph that will change according to the month you choose in the drop down tab. Example: I choose july 2007, the graph will show data from july 2007 to September 2008. I have the graph functioning, however my formulas are off (collecting the wrong data).

I am making a spreadsheet that will be used to track employee time usage. I would like to be able to create a graph of the time throughout the day that shows only whether or not the employee has entered an activity during each particular time slot.
EX: The graph shows the time from 8-10am in 30 minute increments. The employee has entered activities for the time slots from 8-9 and 9:30-10. When the graph is created, I would like to see times 8-9 and 9:30-10 filled (or, charted, or, however I should phrase it) and time 9-9:30 left blank (to represent that no work was done).
I have a countif statement based on certain criteria in a table which is reading off of a drop down list on a separate sheet.
Apple (a1) =COUNTIF(Table2[Fruits],+'Drop Downs'!A1) ...and the results are 3
Pear (a2) = =COUNTIF(Table2[Fruits],+'Drop Downs'!A2) ..and the results 0
Banana (a3) = =COUNTIF(Table2[Fruits],+'Drop Downs'!A3) ...and the results are 1
I have also set up a bar graph (this may change to a pie chart at some point) which is feeding from this. My question is, if I do not want to any results with 0 value to show up on my chart (both on the X&Y axis), how do i amend the formula to do this? I read in a couple of places about the NA() function or about just hiding the rows, but if this chart is updated "live"on a weekly or monthly basis, I would like to chart to move with the data simultaneously...so the numbers will change, sometimes they will be 0, others they may not.
I track inventory/sales for a very small sole proprietorship. I'm looking to track the number of items that I sell based on the text that I enter in a certain column.
Specifically, I want to have a visual chart/graph to show the percentage of each size/color of an item that I sell, as I sell it. When I enter the words "3T pink" I want the chart/graph/whatever to show another quantity of this category. As I sell a new item, I want the chart to reflect it.
The problem I'm having, is that the graphs/charts require two data sets, but I want the graph to calculate it for me! All I want to do is enter the text for specific items, and when the text occurs subsequent times, I want this reflected in the graph/chart.
It seems so much more simple in my head....basically I want a dynamic chart, not based on a static data set.
I would like to chart (pie or graph) sales based on the hour they occured.
In excel, I have column A - the time stamp, and column B, the sale. Note that each sale has its own unique time stamp.
I am working on the evaluation of a survey. I had 212 respondents which could be divided into three distinct groups. I would like to present the results of a question in columns that reflect the total frequency count in percentages. At the same time I would like those columns to be stacked in order to illustrate the contribution each group has made to that particular answer. I have attached an xls file with the data and a demonstration of the outcome I am trying to achieve.
I haven't been able to create the graph so that the columns display the total count in relation to all respondents on the one hand and at the same time are broken up into the individual groups. Among others, I have read the thread: http://www.ozgrid.com/Excel/stacked-column.htm but that doesn't answer my question as the Total there is actually the cumulative total of the other values.
I have a Line Graph with 2 lines on it. Is it possible to write a macro to extend the range (Source range) of one of the lines ? I would also like to add a Data Label to the newly added point.
For e.g. If I have Line 1 graph only till 65, I want the macro to extend the range by one row to include 95 and also display a datalabel ......
finding a function/formula for determining the breaking point (Yvalue) in a graph, that doesn't necessarely equals the maximum value of that curve!
So the curve in the sample is a stress strain curve (tensile test) of a fibre and at the end it breaks and the Y value returns to 0. I would like to determine that Y value before it is 0, so the last Y value before it returns to zero.
I thought of a formula like:
display last y value before it drops with 90%...
but I don't have a clue how to write it in maths...

I have an Access database, with a table of jobs processed.
One column for Job ID (Unique), Date it was processed, By Who it was processed and Comments ascoiated.
I need to chart a graph of Jobs over a period of time. How many jobs done per date. In excel preferebly, I have programs like Database Plus for excel. And I am familiar with VBA. I can't figure out how to uniquely sort how many jobs for each date. As there are numerous job entries for on the same dates. I think it can be done with an SQL query or sorting it with VBA somehow. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Or can anyone suggest an application designed for charting with Access databases in Excel?
The user will select a range (example, B4-Z4). The macro needs to test each cell to see if the number is in a certain range (example, is the number in the cell between 21-40, 41-60, 61-80, etc? - these ranges will not always be the same on each worksheet). If the cell is in that certain range, that cell is a 1 for that range. Example,
21-40 = 1
21-40 = 2
41-60 = 1
After all ranges are tested, it will be graphed on a separate worksheet with the x-axis being the ranges (21-40, 41-60) and the y-axis will be the total number of cells that fit in the range. The above would be....................
I have a database in excel with a lot of tables in which lets a uses a combo box so the user select can view just one table.
I want to be able to create a macro so when a button is pressed, it copies the data into a new workbook and creates a chart so they can do whatever they want without disrupting anything in the original workbook.
I have been able to find code that will export the data and create a chart (see below) but the problem is the range changes from table to table so I need to find a way of changing how the chart picks up the data range.
Sub Chart_New_Book()
ActiveChart.ChartType = xlColumnClustered
ActiveChart.SetSourceData Source:=Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:C10")
ActiveChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="Sheet1"
End Sub
So at the moment when charting ony cells A1:C10 will be plotted no matter what the size of the table is and making the target range bigger only sees the blank cells being plotted.

I have a vast database where I have linked charts. I send the data from a macro to the database and sometimes there are 1000 inputs and sometimes there are only 20.
How would i set up my charts to only graph the inputs that are present?
when you open up the file please ignore everything above the blue bar. That was the old data which was arranged wrong. I have actually figured a lot of this out but i am stuck. The graph is set up so when you click on the drop down menu (F26) it changes the graph to the relevant data. Now the bottom graph is currently graphing the Months Expense1 as a total of all Expense1. So January Expense1 was $100 so its 26% of all Expense1. and when you click on the drop down button you can changed the data to Expense2 and the graph changes. YAY ok thats cool. However, thats not what i want. I want the pie chart to be graphing the expenses as a percentage of total Expenses. So the drop down menu would be of the months instead of the expenses.
I have changed that with relative ease, but I cant get the data to graph how i want it to.
I have been using OFFSET() formula and the define name manager to set up the previous graph. You can easily look at the formulas i have used instead of me trying to explain everything. Please help. This is the test bed for a budgeting spread sheet I am working on.
if you can help me out that would be great.. Please try not to use Macros because i dont understand them all that well and I need to take what is done in this spreadsheet and learn from it and change it so it works when are thre 10 expenses.
I have the following list of values which I want to plot as a zigzag. But when i create a line chart from them, the lines connect the zeros and the non-zero points - while I want the lines to connect only the non-zero points - so that there is a zigzag-like pattern shown.
the Data:
I have a pivot chart which has one Axis field (Cell Ref2) and one Sum of Values field (which is a table series of percentages calculated from formulas)
I see the graph like I'd expect, but I'm struggling to get it to show percentages rather than basic integer units on the y-axis? Usually I would imagine to just right click on the y-axis : Format Axis, and expect to see something to change the display units, but it is only for hundredths thousands etc rather than a percentage ? The units themselves in the table for that value series are in percentages so I don't see why it isnt showing the percentage units in the first place.
Looking for code that returns the cell address of a series in a pre-existing graph. I have a graph that already has Source Data manually assigned to it. Is there a way to find just the cell values or location of a single Series in a SeriesCollection object? I know that in order to assign a series of data to a Series object, you do something like this:
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = Worksheets("My Worksheet").Range("A1:F1")
The issue I am tackling with is a graph that already has preexisting data in the Series object, and I just need a quick and easy way to find the address of this data set.
I have several worksheets with thousands rows (independent variables) and hundreds columns (all dependent variables). Each line basically gives me hundreds values for each independent variable - see below:
I need to know how the values in each row are distributed, and I ideally plot a 2D column graph of the distribution. Is there a way to do that and create/program a macro (with relative button on the workboook) that does it automatically once clicked?
Very often there are outlying values (bigger or smaller by a factor of 1000 or even more), mistakes, which I would like to identify and fix possibly.
how to put the categories (Column H) out of the graph? (so more to the left, so not in the grey background) Here in the attachment you will see that the titles are in the graph instead of outside the grey background. Is it possible to do that?View 2 Replies View Related

05 September 2013 05:00 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Here is Thursday's midday Asia oil and chemical market summary from ICIS.
CRUDE: Oct WTI $107.46/bbl, up 23 cents/bbl; Oct BRENT $115.17/bbl, up 26 cents/bbl
Crude futures firmed on Thursday morning in Asia, supported by upbeat US economic data and a fall in US oil inventories. Further support continued to be generated by worries of possible US military strikes against Syria.
NAPHTHA: $964.50-967.50/tonne CFR Japan, down $4-5/tonne
Open-spec second-half October prices drifted lower on overnight weaker crude futures.
BENZENE: $1,304-1,310/tonne FOB Korea, down $7-10/tonne
Discussion levels opened with a firm note, on the back of buoyant overnight US market. October offer was quoted at $1,310/tonne FOB Korea amid no keen buyers. November offers declined over the morning session to $1,305-1,310/tonne FOB Korea from $1,325-1,330/tonne FOB Korea, while bids hovered at $1,300-1,305/tonne FOB Korea. The intermonth spread between October and November was discussed at a backwardation of $1-3/tonne.
TOLUENE: $1,138-1,146/tonne FOB Korea, up $1/tonne high end
October discussions were at $1,140-1,146/tonne FOB Korea, while November discussions were at $1,145-1,150/tonne FOB Korea. Subsequently, November negotiations narrowed to $1,148-1,150/tonne FOB Korea but no deal was heard. The intermonth spread between October and November was offered at a contango of $3/tonne, with no counter bid.
ETHYLENE: $1,260-1,280/tonne CFR NE Asia, steady
Buyers were mostly covered for September and no deals were heard. Selling ideas at around $1,300/tonne CFR NE Asia generally failed to attract interest.
PROPYLENE: $1,450-1,490/tonne CFR NE Asia, stable
An offer at $1,470/tonne CFR CMP for first-half October delivery was countered by buying ideas at $1,450-1,460/tonne CFR CMP.

Where do ideas come from?
In the meantime, my niece was diagnosed with asthma. After a visit and seeing how tired her poor little nose was of the constant contact with paper tissue, I went looking for dainty hankies. A dear friend offered me a few and I greedily took them. There was just one problem, the monogram was an F, not a B. So I decided to give the handkerchiefs a new life with a story. As I sat down to write the story, deep in Larson's world of Germany, I began to write the story of an evacuee. It was quite short and just explained how she would be in possession of a handkerchief with the wrong monogram, but Millie, my main character was born on those pages.
I tried to continue the work on the American Depression Era, but Millie wouldn't relent. She is one of those needy children the Indigo Girls sing about. And so, here I am writing her story. This is it in a nut shell:
An unfeeling mother, Nazi bombs and youth conspire to expel Millie from her beloved London. Remote country life brings only a string of tedious days until she discovers a British secret weapon and her own special gifts. Combined, they bring Millie the family she never knew she needed and an end to the war.
On my trip to London, I found her house, the paths she would have walked and the city she adored. What I found out while I was there was remarkable! Now for the continued writing and research.
By the way, if any of you have every wondered about how Hitler rose to power or how we as Americans responded to that rise, you should check out this book. If you have a kiddo who is interested in the topic, it is a curious look at that time, through the eyes of the newly appointed American Ambassador to Germany. It is a hard truth, but any advanced reader 7th grade and up would be able to sort it out.

How the hell do I beat the boss that is plaguing the gnomes..? He's eating my weapons ._.

I jumped up on the rock behind him and harpooned him to death. He cant eat the harpoon.
The epic titan killer harpoon?
Soup on your head!
Curse doll. Only place where I dont feel bad for using it so far.
The description for the curse doll doesn't do the effect justice. It doesn't just "weaken" the enemy, it makes it so they do no damage when they hit you and take like 3x more damage from attacks. It basically makes them a punching bag that just staggers you once a while.
Im not sure if you can use it though if you sided with Inquisition. But then again if you have a musket it should be pretty easy anyway.
Use the titan stick/harpoon...whatever.... and then do the hit and run shooting style together with ur pistol.... try cursed doll too if u have a chance that I did not have :))
First put a bomb on your quick bar fight the "boss" for a few sec when he jumps back switch to bomb "he eats current right hand weapon"

I read with total agreement Ron Pedersen's Sept. 18 letter, "Council moving in right direction," but I also believe that fireworks should be banned entirely.
Yes, they are pretty to look at but very dangerous to people and especially to dogs. I'm a grown woman and I don't enjoy the noise. My own dog had to be put to sleep because someone threw a firecracker into our backyard.
In my opinion, the beauty of the display means nothing if a child, or adult, or a little innocent animal is injured.

|JAB is a strategic boxing game unlike anything you?ve played before. In JAB you get direct control over your boxer?s fists providing an experience as close as possible to real boxing without getting punched in the face. JAB is real-time. There are no turns. You can play as fast as you want but remember: playing smart is more important than playing fast. To win the game get a knockout by throwing devastating haymakers at your opponent until he staggers to the ground or strategically win more rounds than your opponent by impressing the judges with your beautiful technique. Finally you can beat up your friends and family without the annoying assault charges and anger management classes! JAB is a complete game only one copy is required to play. How is JAB different? JAB re-invents the Real-time genre by slowing down gameplay and challenging you with strategic decisions. The innovative engine tests a player?s ?strategic agility? by forcing constant quick decisions. It also measures your ability to calmly manage your focus in a chaotic situation. The JAB engine is designed to be a develop-able skill much like learning to play a fighting videogame or even a real sport. Which also gives the game huge replayability. So how does the JAB engine work? (from a game design perspective) The JAB engine can be broken down into a series of strategic real-time mini-games (mechanics) all running simultaneously. While focusing on all mini-games at once is almost impossible all mini-games are equally important to win the game. A good player must not only be good at playing each of the mini-games but also recognize which one he should be focusing on at any given time. A new player much like a new boxer who steps into the ring for the first time can easily feel overwhelmed and freeze up priming his opponent for a knockout? so STAY CALM. Strategy in a Real-time Game? Stop Lying to me. No! It?s true! Every macro strategy or ?style? in JAB has a counter like real boxing. To counter a haymaker spammer or slugger a boxer must play like an outside-fighter who focuses on counter-punching and blocking and points. An outside-fighter like in real boxing will be overcome by an in-fighter who goes purely for combo points. An in-fighter boxer who is going for combos will be knocked out by a slugger. Like boxing every player has a specific style however only players who can dynamically adjust their style and strategy dynamically to counter their opponent (hybrid fighters) will truly dominate.
