2004 Prime Minister's Prize for Excellence in Science Teaching in Secondary Schools
Dr Mark Butler
From Star Wars Lasers to Science Teaching
Mark Butler realised he had a passion for teaching while researching high power lasers and lecturing at Macquarie University. But he didn't want to preach to the converted, such as physics undergraduates. So, he turned his back on the possibility of working at Bell Laboratories on ultraviolet lasers and instead pursued a career in secondary school science teaching.
It was the right choice. After 18 years, his passion for teaching hasn't waned. And while the physics community may have lost a fine researcher, today many of Mark's students are studying physics at university, and others have gone on to greater things in research institutes around the world.
The success of his students is costing Mark. Each year he pays $250 to every student who achieves more than 95% in his Year 12 chemistry and physics classes. Mark proposes to use the grant associated with the Prize to continue to reward his high-achieving students!
Today, for his excellence in the practice and leadership of secondary science education, Dr Mark Butler receives the 2004 Prime Minister's Prize for Excellence in Science Teaching in Secondary Schools.
Mark's parents called him the "mad professor" when, as a young boy, he used to rise before dawn to experiment in his laboratory - the shed in the backyard. But Mark's passion for science disappeared during adolescence at high school. "The fun had gone out of it. There was no sense of discovery, just too many facts. It was probably due in part to a lacklustre curriculum, and in part just due to hormones," he says.
Dropping out of school in Year 10, Mark worked around the traps before completing his secondary schooling through TAFE. But the academic world called. He enrolled in law, but quickly realised this was not for him, and transferred to physics. He completed his degree and started a PhD investigating lasers. And he was good. He designed a new kind of laser, and was invited to leading international conferences.
"The highlight was the opportunity to meet Nobel Laureates, and to see Richard Feynmann (Nobel prize winning physicist) give his seminal lecture on quantum computers," he says.
Then, Mark received overtures about working at Bell Laboratories - the research institute that gave birth to the telephone, transistors, optical fibres, and much more. "It was crunch time," says Mark. He visited the laboratories. "But New Jersey doesn't have any decent surf beaches. I had a young family, and education pioneer Bill Eason AM had invited me to be Deputy Principal of the Australian International School." Mark took the teaching job, and hasn't looked back.
For the past seven years he has been head teacher of science at Gosford High School, teaching physics, chemistry and science. Mark has a knack for switching students on to science. The results speak for themselves. The number of students studying senior physics has doubled since Mark joined the school. Two of his students were in the top 10 in Year 12 Physics in NSW in 2002, and seven are currently studying advanced science at the University of Sydney. And students queue up to participate in extracurricular science events and contests such as the Rio Tinto Australian Science Olympiads and the University of Newcastle's Science and Engineering Challenge.
Mark is spreading his ideas by writing textbooks for NSW and Victoria, working on curriculum development, speaking at science teacher conferences and much more.
To quote a former student, now studying medicine:
"Thank you for your passion for life and enthusiasm for teaching us kids about the mysteries of the world. Thanks for the crazy experiments, for not just teaching us to do well in the HSC, but something deeper than that. You've taught us the importance of asking questions, searching for answers and the joy of learning."
Autobiographical Details
Career Highlights
Contributions to Science and Teaching
Mark has been an active member of the school community coordinating the Student Representative Council and as a member of the Gifted and Talented Student Committee.
As Vice President of the Central Coast Branch of the Science Teachers Association, he keeps in touch with other teachers and is linked into national activities.
Mark has been principal author on two educational books, contributing author on a study guide for HSC physics and assisted with several other physics study guides. In the back of his cupboard he also has a few published papers on lasers, quantum electronics and applied physics.

Ok thank you x
Is update the best option then for my phone or restoring?... What is the differents?
You only do update if there is a new software update.
Some people do a restore as new if they have a corrupted backup (bad battery life) - you will lose all text message. But your able to sync back your contacts/photos/apps and music.
A reset, is like rebooting your PC.
Oooh ok, I get it now;) Woow I am slow lool

Say I have two positive numbers a and b. How many bits must be inverted in order to convert a into b ? I just want the count and not the exact position of the differing bits.
Lets assume a = 10 ( 1010 ) and b = 8 ( 1000 ). In this case the number of bits that should be inverted equals 1.
Any generalised algorithm?

Article: Effect of hemodiafiltration with endogenous reinfusion on overt idiopathic chronic inflammation in maintenance hemodialysis patients: A multicenter longitudinal study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Chronic inflammation is widely diffuse in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and is associated with poor survival. Hemodiafiltration with endogenous reinfusion (HFR) is a dialysis technique, highly biocompatible, able to adsorb proinflammatory cytokines and to decrease amino acids and antioxidants loss. These features could be helpful in MHD patients affected by idiopathic chronic inflammation, but this issue remains to be elucidated. We performed a multicenter longitudinal study to assess the effect of the switching from bicarbonate HD to HFR in patients with serum C-reactive Protein (CRP) > 5 mg/L coupled with albumin <4.0 g/dL in the last 6 months. We enrolled 24/176 (14%) patients, of which 20 patients were assessed at 4 months and 18 completed the study. We excluded 11 patients with evident causes of inflammation. At baseline, serum levels of CRP (18.7[7.0–39.4] mg/L) and albumin (3.5[3.3–3.7] g/dL) were significantly correlated (r = −0.49; P = 0.028). The effect on CRP and albumin was almost evident in the first 4 months and remained stable until to eighth month. A strict correlation (R = −0.49; 0.040) between percentage change of CRP (−35%) and albumin (+14%) after 8 months of HFR. These effects were associated with the reduction of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α and the increment of pre-albumin and leptin, whereas the serum levels of Branched Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) remained unchanged. In MHD patients affected by idiopathic chronic inflammation the switching from BHD to HFR is associated with improvement of inflammation. Whether these favorable effects may modify the outcomes of these high-risk patients needs to be confirmed by studies ad hoc.
Article: [Hemodiafiltration with endogenous reinfusion in chronic inflammation: a possible therapeutic alternative?][Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The patients under maintenance haemodialysis (HD) continue to have an unacceptably excess of mortality compared to general population, that may be explained by high prevalence of inflammation that significantly influences the survival of these patients. Indeed, chronic inflammation is very common in HD and it may cause malnutrition and progression of atherosclerotic disease by several pathogenetic mechanisms triggered by pro-inflammatory cytokines. Currently no pharmacological intervention is specifically targeted the idiopathic chronic inflammation. Hemodiafiltration with endogenous reinfusion (HFR) is a dialysis technique, highly biocompatible, that combines three depurative mechanisms: diffusion, convection and absorption. The ultrafiltrate is obtained from convective section of dialyzer (convection). It is regenerated by passing through the adsorbent macro-porous synthetic resin cartridge (absorption) and then it is reinfused into the second section of the filter (diffusion). This resin cartridge is able to absorb cytokines and other uremic toxins, whereas allows to pass nutrients and antioxidants, as amino acids and vitamins, with a consequent decrement of inflammation and oxidative stress. These characteristics suggest the use of HFR in HD patients affected by overt and idiopathic chronic inflammation. In these patients, we observed that the switching from Bic-HD to HFR allowed an improvement of inflammatory as testified by a significant decrement of serum levels of CRP IL-6, IL-1 and TNF- and a significant increase of albumin and pre-albumin. Whether these favorable effects may modify the outcomes of these high-risk patients, needs to be confirmed by studies ad-hoc.
Article: Intradialytic Changes of Plasma Amino Acid Levels: Effect of Hemodiafiltration with Endogenous Reinfusion versus Acetate-Free Biofiltration[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: During hemodialysis, amino acids (AA) are lost in the ultrafiltrate with consequent modification of their plasma profile. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate intradialytic changes of plasma AA levels during a single session of hemodiafiltration with endogenous reinfusion (HFR) versus acetate-free biofiltration (AFB). 48 patients chronically treated with HFR or AFB were matched 1:1 for age, gender, Kt/V and diabetes. Blood samples were collected at the beginning and the end of dialysis. Baseline plasma levels (μmol/l) of total AA (3,176 ± 722), essential AA (889 ± 221), and branched chain AA (459 ± 140) levels in HFR were similar to those in AFB (3,399 ± 621, 938 ± 277, and 463 ± 71, respectively). Plasma intradialytic AA levels did not change in HFR, while in AFB there was a reduction by about 25%. In conclusion, as compared with AFB, HFR has a sparing effect on AA loss due to the lack of adsorption by cartridge and to their complete reinfusion in blood.

A 42-year-old motorcyclist traveling west on state Route 76 was severely injured Saturday when his bike veered into an eastbound lane and collided with an SUV pulling a utility trailer, the California Highway Patrol said.
The crash occurred about 12:25 p.m. east of Valley Center Road, said CHP Officer Jim Bettencourt. The driver of the Dodge Durango, a 56-year-old Valley Center man, tried to swerve when the motorcyclist came into his path, but the bike still hit the left front of the trailer.
One of the trailer's wheels broke off, and the motorcyclist's left leg was severed near his hip, Bettencourt said. He was riding a Harley-Davidson.
Before emergency personnel arrived, a Navy corpsman applied a tourniquet to stop any severe bleeding, Bettencourt said. The motorcyclist was taken by air to Palomar Hospital.

Gang challenge leads to fight and stabbing of four people
San Diego
San Diego gang detectives were investigating the stabbing Friday night of four people in Mountain View.
A group of males and females in their late teens and early 20s were walking on a sidewalk on 43rd Street, near Beta Street, shortly before 9 p.m. when another group walked up and gave a gang challenge, police Officer David Stafford said. The two groups then got into a fight.
One of the males in the second group stabbed a female in the back and leg, one of the males in the arm, and another male in the throat. The assailant and his companions then fled.
A 17-year-old who was not involved with either group was found nearby with a stab wound to his throat, Stafford said.
All of the victims were taken to hospitals. Their injuries were not considered life-threatening, police said.

Sports Illustrated ranked the top mascot names in the nation and says Cairo is #1. Here is how the website described Cairo:
"The name of this tiny south Georgia town is pronounced like the syrup, not like Egypt's capital. But contrary to popular belief, Karo syrup is not produced in Cairo. The old syrup plant used to churn out Roddenberry's. Now, the Syrupmakers just churn out championship football teams. Next month, Cairo will begin its defense of the 2008 Class AAA state title."

Nice Sun Creme
Posted by TrueShoppingAdvice on Jan 01, 2016
I really like this Green Tea Version. It is in itself brownish-grey in colour so it does not make you white. Leaves a creamy feeling on the skin so it needs to be washed away in the evening before going to bed. Good working natural, waterproof sun creme. Please, you are warmly welcome to visit my page for more reviews. Enjoy your iHerb journey!

This is not a micronized and i will say that the white and the green colors make my face to look like a have a foundation!I don't know how will be on darker skin.So far i like it for the hot months but not for the witner because make my skin dry.Have a shine but after 15min.go away.If don't have this green color will be white on my face.I will buy again because with this i don't put foundation.Have very good ingredients list too!
no :(

very anxious i've opened the can but the smell was bad, it's very liquid and leaves white oily thingy on the skin
Great sunscreen...even my husband uses it daily :-)
Posted by 4612269876691307484 on May 13, 2015
I bought this to use as a daily sunscreen under my makeup. I wanted a "natural" one that works really well, doesn't turn my face white, with no animal testing...and one that my husband will also use daily without complaining. :-) After summers of running along Lake Michigan without sunscreen in my 20s, I had some brown spots / sun damage appear on my forehead in my mid 30s. Anyone who has also experienced this knows what a pain it is to fade them and then protect them sufficiently to avoid them coming back (or getting new ones, ugh). Needless to say, I am "hyper diligent" now. :-) So far this sunscreen seems to be working really well. To be fair, I still use my SPF 50 that turns me ghostly white when exposed for long periods (running, working in the garden, etc.). It does have a green/clayish color to it, but then again, it is a "Green Tea" sunscreen so that was not a surprise or disappointment for me. It does not cause a green or white tint on my skin after applying. I also did not notice any oily or other feeling under my makeup. I didn't notice the sunscreen at all so that is great! (I do wait about 10-15 minutes as part of my morning routine between applying it and putting my makeup on. I'm not sure if it would make a difference if you put your makeup on directly after applying.) Regarding the smell, it does have a scent to it. But for me, I had to run upstairs and sniff it again before typing this to notice it. I read the reviews so I wanted to double-check it for mine. I know everyone is different, but for me, that just means it doesn't have fake, chemical scents in it. Also a positive. I definitely cannot smell anything on my face, nor has my husband noticed it. Speaking of my husband: After trying 5 or 6 different natural sunscreens, he uses THIS ONE. Big positive for me! He also says it does not feel oily and he does not notice it in general. I definitely recommend this one and I will purchase again !
Good for a ski instructor

I make our own sunscreen from organic coconut oil, turmeric and a dash of milk thistle. That is in our 9,000 foot altitude our daily skin protection. Yet in winter with very bright sun/snow combination we need something extra. So I purchased this lovely Aubrey Organic Sunscreen. My husband who teaches skiing sometimes 49 hours per week says that it is working for him. So thanks for making this available.

I was looking forward to try this sunscreen, but got really dissapointed. The texture is like clay and it separates... Hope I will find a better natural sunscreen next time.
natural and comfortable use
Posted by 4846678640085620508 on Aug 01, 2014
I really love this sunscreen. It doesn't make my skin white at all, and is very comfortable. It feels a tiny bit heavier than for example commercial spray sunscreens but the fact that it's natural makes up for this. There's almost no scent and it goes away quick. You have to reapply during the hours when sun is strongest (which you should with other sunscreens anyway). It gave my skin good protection. My skin doesn't get red at all and turns into nice bronze tan. The only downside is that it can turn a little white during reapplication if you sweat a lot.
Posted by 5480629892645674607 on Jul 03, 2014
I spotted this sunscreen from Paula's Choice beautypedia. I like it :) Wonderful ingredients, physical sunscreen, easily spread over my face and it doesn't feel sticky or so, nor drying my face or causing my face to secrete more oil. I just love it. and have ordered my second tube :) But it does leave a slight whitish color on my face, I don't mind though. and I though 118ml would last a few months, but I just took one and a half or maybe two months to finish it, perhaps I use too much :(
Don't really like it

Divergent, starring Shailene Woodley, is based on the Veronica Roth YA novel of the same name. The story follows Tris, a young woman living in a dystopian future version of Chicago who is forced to decide between who she is and who she's expected to be. Tris has secrets to hide, relationships to test, and big choices to make. Now if we could only figure out what it is about this character that teens connect to so strongly...
Divergent is slated for a March 21st, 2014 release.

I would say it is a very different car that looks a like a 3 series. That, low volume, and the engine - and what an engine - are what make it special, not just headline BHP figures. So an M3 is always a big step up from a 335i/d as really it is a different car, unless you aren't bothered by anything other than horsepower. Same for all M cars - they are not directly comparable to the basic models on which they are based on / developed from.
If I could chip my 335i to 500bhp I would still prefer a beautiful (last of its kind) normally aspirated V8 M3 to a 'fakey' chipped turbo!
So, OP, damn good man for buying an M3 - enjoy it while its legal and f##k the expense!
Good points and well made, my point is that the gap between the top end 3 series and the M3 is not as wide as it was in the E46 / E36 range IMO. Thus why you don't see as many E92 M3's on the road as E46 M3's for instance. Its low volume because there is not a big market for them anymore. If demand was high production would be increased !
I am not knocking the E9x M3 as I do love the car and could of bought one if I had wanted but I just felt that the M Sport 335D represented better VFM, which aint a bad thing in these trying times IMO.

Update on TsetsegeeMrs. Tsetsegee, 64 years old, lives with her husband, daughter, and granddaughter in Ulaanbaatar, capital city of Mongolia.
She has been transporting people using her minivan since 2001. Her husband has retired from work and gets a state pension. Her daughter has a position as traffic regulator at the bus station. Her granddaughter studies at a university.
Tsetsegee is requesting a loan of MNT 2,000,000 to pay her granddaughter's tuition fee. The borrower thinks investment in education is the best thing she can do for her granddaughter.
Previous Loan DetailsMrs.Tsetsegee is a 62-year-old transport driver. She lives with her husband, daughter and her niece in Ulaanbaatar – the capital city of Mongolia. This year, her niece is going to enter college. Tsetsegee's profession is an auto mechanic and she has worked in her profession for 20 years in a tran... More from Tsetsegee's previous loan »
Additional Information
About Credit MongolCredit Mongol is the largest non-banking financial institution (NBFI) in Mongolia. Its mission is to contribute to the prosperity of Mongolians by providing high-quality, affordable and varied financial services to micro-entrepreneurs and small-to-medium-sized businesses. It prioritizes serving remote, rural populations that have typically lacked access to credit and other financial services. Uniquely, it offers solar panel loans to nomadic herders, most of whom live without electricity.
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.
Loan tags help lenders find loans that match certain areas of interest. You can add up to 5 tags for this loan.

Pituitary Gland Tumor - Diagnosis [1]
ON THIS PAGE: You will find a list of the common tests, procedures, and scans that doctors can use to find out what's wrong and identify the cause of the problem. To see other pages, use the menu on the side of your screen.
Doctors use many tests to diagnose a tumor and find out if it has spread to another part of the body, called metastasis. Some tests may also determine which treatments may be the most effective. For most tumors, a biopsy is the only way to make a definitive diagnosis. For a pituitary tumor, the biopsy is done as part of surgery to remove the tumor, and a biopsy alone is not usually recommended. The doctor may suggest other tests that will help make a diagnosis. Imaging tests may be used to find out whether the tumor has spread, but very few pituitary tumors ever spread. When they do, they are called pituitary carcinoma instead of the much more common, noncancerous pituitary adenoma. Your doctor may consider these factors when choosing a diagnostic test:
Age and medical condition
Type of tumor suspected
Signs and symptoms
Previous test results
In addition to a physical examination, the following tests may be used to diagnose a pituitary gland tumor. This list describes options for diagnosing a pituitary gland tumor, and not all tests listed will be used for every person.
Neurological examination. An evaluation of the patient's central nervous system may include testing a person's reflexes, motor and sensory skills, balance and coordination, and mental status.
Laboratory tests [3]. A blood test may be recommended so the doctor can measure the amounts of certain hormones in the blood. If Cushing's disease, which is described in Signs and Symptoms [4], is suspected, samples of saliva may be collected as well as one or more 24-hour urine samples. That means all urine produced in a 24-hour period is saved and sent for analysis of cortisol levels. These tests may need to be repeated several times so the doctor can understand how hormones are produced over time, or to confirm that hormone levels are consistently abnormal. Sometimes a person may be given a drug or hormone before the blood measurements are done; this is called provocative testing.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [5]. An MRI uses magnetic fields, not x-rays, to produce detailed images of the body. MRI can also be used to measure the tumor's size. A special dye called a contrast medium is given before the scan to create a clearer picture. This dye can be injected into a patient's vein or given as a pill to swallow. MRI is better than a computed tomography scan, which is described below, to diagnose most pituitary gland tumors, and it is now the standard method. A traditional MRI of the brain is not sufficient to evaluate the pituitary gland, so an MRI of the pituitary gland tumor is needed.
Computed tomography (CT or CAT) scan [6]. A CT scan creates a three-dimensional picture of the inside of the body with an x-ray machine. A computer then combines these images into a detailed, cross-sectional view that shows any abnormalities or tumors. A CT scan can also be used to measure the tumor's size. Sometimes, a special dye called a contrast medium is given before the scan to provide better detail on the image. This dye can be injected into a patient's vein or given as a pill to swallow. A CT scan is usually used only for patients who have a pacemaker or an aneurysm clip, which may prevent them from having an MRI, which is described above.
Visual field exam. A large pituitary gland tumor may press on the optic nerves, which are located above the pituitary gland. In this test, the patient is asked to find points of light on a screen, using each eye separately. The most common visual field problem caused by a pituitary gland tumor is loss of the ability to see objects along the outside of the person's field of vision. Because other diseases can also cause vision loss, such as glaucoma, it is important for the doctor to consider all possible causes carefully before coming to a conclusion about the reason for the vision problem.
Biopsy [7]. A biopsy is the removal of a small amount of tissue for examination under a microscope. Other tests can suggest that a tumor is present, but only a biopsy can make a definite diagnosis. A pathologist then analyzes the sample(s). A pathologist is a doctor who specializes in interpreting laboratory tests and evaluating cells, tissues, and organs to diagnose disease. A pituitary gland tumor should be checked by the pathologist for production of each of the hormones mentioned in the Overview [8] section, with the exception of lipotropin and melanocyte stimulating hormone, to correctly classify the tumor. As mentioned above, the biopsy is done as part of the surgery to remove the pituitary tumor. In fact, usually the goal is to remove as much tumor as is possible during the biopsy. If there is another medical problem found, then the biopsy is performed in order to be able to come up with the best treatment plan.
Lumbar puncture. Lumbar puncture, also called a spinal tap, is a procedure in which a doctor uses a needle to take a sample of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to look for tumor cells, blood, or tumor markers. Tumor markers are substances found in higher than normal amounts in the blood, urine, or body tissues of people with certain kinds of tumors. CSF is the fluid that flows around the brain and the spinal cord. Doctors generally give an anesthetic to numb the lower back before the procedure. This test is rarely needed to help diagnose a pituitary tumor. It is usually only useful if the diagnosis of germinoma or sarcoidosis is suspected.
After diagnostic tests are done, your doctor will review all of the results with you. If the diagnosis is a tumor, these results also help the doctor describe the tumor; this is called staging.
The next section in this guide is Stages [9], and it explains the system doctors use to describe the extent of the disease. Or, use the menu on the side of your screen to choose another section to continue reading this guide.

Como is a city and comune in Lombardy, Italy. It is the administrative capital of the Province of Como.
Its proximity to Lake Como and to the Alps has made Como a popular tourist destination and the city contains numerous works of art, churches, gardens, museums, theatres, parks and palaces: the Duomo (seat of Diocese of Como), the Basilica of Sant'Abbondio, the Villa Olmo, the public gardens with the Tempio Voltiano, the Teatro Sociale, the Broletto (the city's medieval town hall) and the 20th century Casa del Fascio. With 213,996 arrivals, Como is the third most visited city in Lombardy after Milan and Bergamo.
Como was the birthplace of many historically notable figures, including the (somewhat obscure) poet Caecilius who is mentioned by Catullus in the 1st century BCE, the far more substantial literary figures of Pliny the Elder and the Younger, Pope Innocent XI, the scientist Alessandro Volta,and Cosima Liszt, second wife of Richard Wagner and long-term director of the Bayreuth Festival.

SMI Reveals First 3D Glasses With Full Eye Tracking Capability
BERLIN and TELTOW, Germany, February 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SMI 3D Eye Tracking by SensoMotoric Instruments (SMI) gives insights into realistic 3D user experience and allows for real-time gaze interaction in virtual environmentsEye tracking technology leader SensoMotoric Instruments (SMI) from Germany today reveals an impressive piece of technology for user experience studies and gaze interaction applications in virtual environments. SMI developed the first 3D glasses with full eye tracking capability in a partner project with Volfoni, leading provider of 3D solutions. Thanks to Volfoni's ActiveEye [ TM ]technology, the new smart glasses combine mobile eye tracking with realistic 3D user experience. This gives completely new insights into a user's interaction, for example while navigating through virtual urban spaces or while looking at 3D product designs. With its full head and motion tracking support, the technology is a milestone for real-time gaze interaction with virtual avatars or 3D gaming applications. The SMI Eye Tracking Glasses for virtual environment applications are presented this week at the SD&A trade show, the most important gathering of the stereoscopic imaging industry, held in San Francisco. Watch video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1OQJzDx_S4 Flickr image: http://www.flickr.com/photos/smieyetracking/8443551051/in/photostream SMI Eye Tracking Glasses are worn like a normal pair of glasses. Eye tracking is accomplished by two small cameras on the rim of the glasses while a scene camera records the field of view of the user. For real 3D experience of the wearer and full immersion into the virtual environment, active stereo glasses using Volfoni's ActiveEye [ TM ] technology are integrated with the eye tracking hardware. The eye tracker also detects the eye distance of the wearer by measuring the eyes' vergence, which allows to optimize the 3D experience for individual physiognomies. The leader in optical tracking, Advanced Realtime Tracking GmbH (A.R.T.) provides the optical targets placed on the glasses in order to measure the position and orientation of the wearer´s head within a defined space. The result: 6D gaze vectors on objects are calculated automatically and virtual content can be presented in real-time dependent on the gaze interaction of the user with the environment. The eye tracking system supports leading head and motion tracking technologies such as A.R.T., Vicon, WorldViz and Kinect via its VRPN interface. Ingmar Gutberlet, Director of Sales&Marketing, SensoMotoric Instruments: "This trend-setting development achieved in close collaboration with our partners will help to advance user experience testing in virtual spaces prior to realization of cost-intensive projects. Moreover, eye control with real 3D experience will add another level of entertainment to consumer applications such as video games." Bernard Mendiburu, VP Professional Markets, Volfoni Group: "I am extremly proud to introduce these Stereo 3D Gaze Tracking Glasses with the world leaders SMI and ART. They combine the highest quality 3D lenses from Volfoni and the best in class tracking systems. It is exciting to see the new business and research potentials developing around this master piece of technology. We see it everywhere form VR-labs all the way to marketing tools." Ulrich Probost, Sales Director, A.R.T. GmbH: "We are proud of being a partner during this development. The resulting product which combines eyetracking, 3D glasses and headtracking is definitely a great add-on for Virtual Reality systems. We believe that this product will provide valuable service for all marketing related or psychological investigations in virtual environments."

Green Mountain Power fined more over Lowell WindThe Associated Press | February 07,2013LOWELL — Vermont utility regulators have fined Green Mountain Power $30,000 stemming from five violations in its permit to ship turbine parts to an industrial wind-power project last year.
The utility had reached a settlement that included a $7,500 fine over the violations with the state Department of Public Service. Regulators on the Vermont Public Service Board accepted the settlement, but disagreed with the amount.
Board members said a higher penalty is warranted for violating the transportation plan, the Caledonian-Record reports.
The investigation into alleged violations began during Green Mountain Power's shipments across Vermont of parts to the Lowell wind project.
The board said the utility acknowledges that the proceeding reiterated the importance of flawless compliance.MORE IN This Just In

Is there a way to declare a constant in Python. In Java we can create constant in this manner:
public static final String CONST_NAME = "Name";
What is the equivalent of the above java constant declaration in Python?
Is there a way to declare a constant in Python. In Java we can create constant in this manner:
What is the equivalent of the above java constant declaration in Python?
No there is not. You cannot declare a variable or value as constant in Python. Just don't change it.
If you are in a class, the equivalent would be:
if not, it is just
But you might want to have a look at the code snippet Constants in Python by Alex Martelli.
There's no
Here is an alternative implementation using class property:
Note that the code is far from easy for a reader wondering about constants. See explanation below
Code Explanation:
And in some other more old-fashioned way:
(The code is quite tricky, more explanations below)
Note that the @apply decorator seems to be deprecated.
In Python instead of language enforcing something, people use naming conventions e.g
So in same manner you can simply declare the constant as all caps e.g.
If you want that this constant never changes, you can hook into attribute access and do tricks, but a simpler approach is to declare a function
Only problem is everywhere you will have to do MY_CONSTANT(), but again
You can also use namedtuple to create constants:
I'm probably missing a trick here, but this seems to work for me:
Creating the instance allows the magic
It's a total pain for one value, but you could attach lots to your
In addition to the two top answers (just use variables with UPPERCASE names, or use properties to make the values read-only), I want to mention that it's possible to use metaclasses in order to implement named constants. I provide a very simple solution using metaclasses at GitHub which may be helpful if you want the values to be more informative about their type/name:
This is slightly more advanced Python, but still very easy to use and handy. (The module has some more features, including constants being read-only, see its README.)
There are similar solutions floating around in various repositories, but to the best of my knowledge they either lack one of the fundamental features that I would expect from constants (like being constant, or being of arbitrary type), or they have esoteric features added that make them less generally applicable. But YMMV, I would be grateful for feedback. :-)
I would make a class that overrides the
To wrap a string:
It's pretty simple, but if you want to use your constants the same as you would a non-constant object (without using constObj.value), it will be a bit more intensive. It's possible that this could cause problems, so it might be best to keep the
Here is an implementation of a "Constants" class, which creates instances with read-only (constant) attributes. E.g. can use
Thanks to @MikeGraham 's FrozenDict, which I used as a starting point. Changed, so instead of
And thanks to @Raufio's answer, for idea to override __ setattr __.
Or for an implementation with more functionality, see @Hans_meine 's named_constants at GitHub
The Pythonic way of declaring "constants" is basically a module level variable:
And then write your classes or functions. Since constants are almost always integers, and they are also immutable in Python, you have a very little chance of altering it.
Unless, of course, if you explicitly set
Edit: Added sample code for Python 3
Note: this other answer looks like it provides a much more complete implementation similar to the following (with more features).
First, make a metaclass:
This prevents statics properties from being changed. Then make another class that uses that metaclass:
Or, if you're using Python 3:
This should prevent instance props from being changed. To use it, inherit:
Now the props, accessed directly or via an instance, should be constant:
Here's an example of above in action. Here's another example for Python 3.
Python dictionaries are mutable, so they don't seem like a good way to declare constants:
I write a util lib for python const: kkconst - pypi support str, int, float, datetime
the const field instance will keep its base type behavior.
For example:
more details usage you can read the pypi url: pypi or github
Extending Raufio's answer, add a repr to return the value.
then the object behaves a little more like you might expect, you can access it directly rather then '.value'
well.. even though this is outdated, let me add my 2 cents here :-)
Instead of ValueError to break, you can prevent any update happening there. One advantage of this is that you can add constants dynamically in the program but you cannot change once a constant is set. Also you can add any rule or whatsoever before setting a constant(something like key must be a string or a lower case string or upper case string and so on before setting the key)
However, I do not see any importance of setting constants in Python. No optimizations can happen like in C and hence it is something that is not required, I guess.
In my case, I needed immutable bytearrays for an implementation of a crypto library containing many literal numbers I wanted to ensure were constant.
This answer works but attempted reassignment of bytearray elements does not raise an error.
Constants are immutable, but constant bytearray assignment fails silently:
A more powerful, simple, and perhaps even more 'pythonic' approach involves the use of memoryview objects (buffer objects in <= python-2.6).
ConstArray item assignment is a
A python dictionary is unchangeable once declared and can serve as constants.

Child alert mechanism
The child alert mechanism aims to alert the public in cases of child abduction and where the life of a child is at risk.
This mechanism alerts the public by disseminating relevant information in the hours after the disappearance of a child.
All possible electronic means are used:
- e-mails ;
- electronic advertising displays ;
- illuminated signs on highways ;
- flash information on radio and television.
Child alert systems are set up in the event of worrying disappearances and criminal abduction.
Improving the early warning system
The Commission's objective is that an early warning system for child abductions, with cross-border interoperability, be established in all 28 EU countries.
This way, resolving cross-border cases, especially where the abduction or disappearance has happened close to the border with another EU country, will be easier. The conclusions of the Justice and Home Affairs Council [106 KB] (27-28 November 2008) went in this direction and invited EU countries:
- to establish and develop national mechanisms to alert the public in the event of criminal abductions of children;
- to define the national implementing arrangements ensuring that cross-border alerts are triggered.
These arrangements should be introduced on the basis of the best practices developed by the Commission [38 KB] .
State of play
Currently, a child alert system is in place in 16 EU countries: Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands,Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Spain and the United Kingdom.

Technology is the application of organized and scientific knowledge to solve practical problems.(Stolovitch's)
Perhaps the creation of the "learning technologies" field has done us a disservice in spawning a separate discipline from learning (or education or training). As tool builders and tool users for millennia, we cannot escape our technologies, nor should we give them over to a small priesthood of experts.(Jarche, October 27th, 2006)
So when did technology begin? According to many researches it has been identified that Output per hour worked in the United States today is ten times as valuable as output per hour worked 100 years ago. (Maddison, 1982). As stated by Abromowitz in 1956 that Since the 1950s, economists have attributed much of the change in output per hour worked either directly or indirectly to technological change (Abromowitz, 1956, Kendrick, 1956, Solow, 1957.)
From a naïve point of view this seems right, Paul Roomer,1998 said that The raw materials that we use have not changed, but as a result of trial and error, experimentation, refinement, and scientific investigation, the instructions that we follow for combining raw materials have become vastly more sophisticated....

Edinburgh Festival and Fringe Festival
Last Updated: 19th Feb 2014

The 'Edinburgh Festival' is an umbrella term for a group of independently-organised summer festivals. Of these, the Fringe is the biggest and the festivals all mesh together providing an awesome array of events to choose from. Over the summer there are literally tens of thousands of performances of theatre, comedy, music, musicals, children's shows, dance, performance art, exhibitions and events.

Whilst still remaining true to its founding principle of open-access for all performers, the Fringe has come a long way since its organisational beginnings in a pub just off the Royal Mile.

The Edinburgh Fringe Festival is officially recognised by the Guinness Book of Records as the largest festival in the world and big names that have been appeared include Robin Williams, Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson and Jude Law and is a hotbed for talent scouts looking for the next big thing.

If you are travel to Europe and festivals are your thing, it's certainly worth popping up to Edinburgh to check it out.

The guide is small, but that's nothing to worry about because sPvP is a very straight-forward way of playing. You tell us in your guide that it is important to remember the capture points names, which is very useful when communicating with your team, yes. And you list down everything about them. I mostly knew all of this, because I am a sPvP lover, but the guide is nice and I recommend it to people who aren't that interested in sPvP yet or have any knowledge about it
Posted 02 August 2012 - 04:30 PM
You can't go wrong if you at least focus on capturing and defending instead of chasing and killing everyone on screen. The worst strategy possible is for everyone to stick together in tournies. A lot of people suggest that, but it's very, very bad. Also, for the love of God, people, don't go for their guild lord if you haven't secured the capture points.

I would like to replace the content of some methods at runtime.
I know I can use javassist for this but it does not work because the classes I would like to enhance are already loaded by the system classLoader.
How can I do, to replace the content of a method at runtime ? Should I try to unload the class ? How can I do that ? I saw it was possible but I could not figure out how to do it.
If possible, I would like to avoid using an external lib for this, I would like to code it my-self.
More information: - The class I would like to enhance is contained in a framework (in a jar file) - My code is actually a plugin of this framework - The framework in which my plugin runs has its own classLoader, but this classLoader does not load its own classes (it delegates them to the system class loader) - The framework I'm using is Play.
Thank you for your help !
