From Stellarium Wiki
Note: This page will replace the Scripts page when the new engine is complete, and the old page will be re-named.
As of version 0.10.1, Stellarium has a new scripting engine. This is currently in development (2009-04-04). It is possible to test the new scripting engine if you build the latest SVN Stellarium, although please bear in mind it is not yet complete and the API will most certainly change as development continues.
API Documentaion
After building Stellarium itself from the SVN code, do "make apidoc" (you need Doxygen installed). This will create a directory: .../stellarium/builds/doc/html which contains the API documentation in HTML format or you follow this link Doxygen-API
From the Stellarium SVN repository:
- Demonstration of the custom labels scripting feature
- Partial lunar eclipse
- Total lunar eclipse
- Solar eclipse, 2009
User contributed:
- Adam Fenley's solar eclipse, 2017
- TBuschhardt's Hertzsprung-Russel-Diagramm - extract all 3 files into the script folder

International Space Station Goes Open Source, Dumps Windows XP for Debian
Jason Mick

Sender E-mail
(Source: Inazuma)
Linux operating system is expected to improve security, stability
Microsoft Corp.'s (
) Windows XP is among the company's most beloved products. Generally lauded for its stability, compatibility, and security since Service Pack 3 rolled out, the aging operating system has
still been hanging around
in many enterprise deployments -- including the International Space Station (ISS). But the ISS and others have found out the hard way of late that slower patching and a
phase-out of support
have left the once unbeatable OS a major security risk.
I. Phasing Out XP, Moving to the Penguin
Keith Chuvala of
United Space Alliance
, a contractor who handles much of the ISS operations, decided enough is enough after a 2008 security breach; he's switching the "dozens of laptops" aboard the ISS to Debian 6, a Linux operating system.
Linux has been used on the ISS systems since its 1998 launch (see
this 2001 article
[PDF] in
Linux Magazine
, for example) and in NASA ground system since its inception. However, most laptops used aboard the station for day-to-day activities like viewing stock inventory, controlling scientific experiments, or checking the current station location -- a cluster dubbed "OpsLAN" -- ran Windows.
But NASA received a wakeup call in 2008 when a Russian cosmonaut inadvertently
brought a W32.Gammima.AG worm aboard
his Windows laptop, which infected the other laptops onboard, requiring painstaking cleanup. While Linux machines are
not immune to worms and other malware
, their small market share and
quick patching
(thanks to the open source community) have made Linux distributions more secure than their Windows counterparts from a practical perspective.

Mr. Chuvala comments, "We migrated key functions from Windows to Linux because we needed an operating system that was stable and reliable – one that would give us in-house control. So if we needed to patch, adjust or adapt, we could."
getting help
for the project from
the Linux Foundation
, a non-profit consortium founded in 2007 by the merger of two key Linux evangelist groups. The Linux Foundation -- whose mission is to promote the U.S. of Linux worldwide -- is training engineers at space agencies and potential astronauts on the new operating system and how to develop for it.
Dominic Duval, the Director of Enterprise Training, spearheaded the training effort, pairing engineers at
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA) and other partner space agencies with
qualified Linux professionals
skilled in teaching OS basics. He designed two courses for the trainees --
Introduction to Linux for Developers
Developing Applications For Linux
II. Debian is the Distribution
Du Jour
The ISS's systems run mostly Scientific Linux -- a distribution developed by
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
and the
European Organization for Nuclear Research
(CERN) -- and RedHat Enterprise Linux, developed by Red Hat, Inc. (
). But the Linux Foundation steered Mr. Chuvula and NASA towards yet another distribution for the day-to-day machines -- Debian.
The agency decided on adopting (for now) Debian 6, a version released in Feb. 2011. Debian 7 was just released days ago, and will likely eventually be rolled out as well. Debian is licensed under the
GNU General Public License
(GPL), a permissive open-source license.
The ISS laptops will run Debian 6, a popular Linux distribution.
Debian relies on donations to develop, improve, and fix flaws in its codebase of over 320 million lines of code. The project boasts over 3,000 volunteers. The cost of Debian 5, had it been developed for-profit by salaried employees,
is estimated
[PDF] in a recent academic analysis to have been $8B USD.
In terms of reception, Debian is
often listed
as second to only Ubuntu in popularity. While it's
difficult to estimate
the exact number of Debian users, security listings in the operating system show at least 1.9 million (active) unique IPs.
II. Robonaut 2 Gets an Upgrade; Scientist Deal With a Spill
In related news
Robonaut 2
-- a Linux-powered semi-autonomous humanoid robot aboard the ISS -- will soon get an upgrade, expanding its usefulness. Currently just a torso, head, and arms (with articulated "fingers"); the robot will receive legs and an expanded battery pack later this year.
The control software for the robot is Ubuntu, developed by Canonical. It's unclear what distribution the robot itself runs, but it runs a variety of embedded Linux. Launched in 2011 in the
final mission of the Space Shuttle
, the robot will soon be able to assist astronauts aboard the ISS with menial tasks (vacuuming, changing filters), as well as dangerous space-walk repairs.
The ISS is
also grappling
a leaking in its ammonia-based cooling system. While the leak poses "no danger" in an immediate sense to crew, the leak threatens to shut down one of the solar panels powering the station's electronics.
One of the ISS's eight 230-foot dual-wings has a leaking cooling system and is being shut down. [Image Source: NASA]
As the solar arrays have independent cooling loops, the crew is phasing out the faulty loop and rerouting the other loops to stand in for its power source. The same array underwent troubleshooting in a Nov. 2012 spacewalk. It's unclear if that attempt failed to fully fix the leak, or if a new leak occurred.
The ISS's solar array
is the largest
[PDF] photovoltaic (PV) array ever deployed in space. Its advanced cells must be kept under 130 degrees Celsius, a daunting challenge given that the eight wings (consisting of 33,000 cells each) stretch over approximately an acre of space and produce between 75 and 90 kilowatts on an average day in space. That many kilowatts makes for a lot of waste heat, given that the even these extremely efficient cells are only around 25 percent efficient.

we got lucky. we live right next to a very big old folks home that was without power for 4 days... ours just came on tonight. The no power didn't bother me so much as the cold did.
Work still has no power. found some shots from the presidents trip around the shore line. Seems the 2nd ave shore house (my fathers) in ortley has survived. Only another house landed on the back porch but everything looks in place. 5th Ave (my mothers through divorce) we are less sure of. arial views show it to be intact but won't know until we get there. If I thought it was going to be anywhere NEAR this bad i would have emptied it earlier so no worrying. now we might not get there till next week if lucky. I just hope the ***** looters stay away...the older weaker houses that stood there before on 5th ave got broken into twice years ago. hence reason for building the new ones (one of many).
ours is the blue in the middle..2nd ave

German Information Centres
Brandenburg Gate on the 20th anniversary of German Unity, Berlin
© picture-alliance/dpa
Public relations with a regional flavour
German Information Centres (GIC) are designed to provide information about Germany in their host countries and rally support for German positions. These centres aim to arouse interest in Germany particularly among important young multipliers in the regional partner countries.
As well as building understanding for German policies and enthusiasm for the German way of life, the aim is to make people curious about German technologies.
The German Information Centres are intended to support the work of the embassies and highlight the activities of German intermediary organizations and partners in the areas of cultural relations and education policy, development cooperation and business in their respective regions.
Represented across the world
There are currently German Information Centres in Beijing, Brasília, Cairo, Mexico City, Moscow, New Delhi, Paris, Pretoria and Washington. Each covers a different key area of the world: the entire American continent, the Francophone and Lusophone areas including Africa, the Chinese-, Russian- and Arabic-speaking parts of the world as well as South Asia.
Each individual German Information Centre gears its work to the relevant regional target groups and through close coordination with each other, positive synergies are generated: a good project idea from Cairo might also work in Brasília.

Was hoping to see Hawke closer to the top of the list, but very happy MYP Evilseed did well. Lets hope the results at SDCC concerning Huntara vs Masque are the same as here on the Org. Sorry Huntara fans, I cant have Shokoti without Lord Masque.
Two sets of results below:
Here are results to see how folks ranked potential 200x characters in the MOTUC line. The main page poll setup by Adam Tyner ran for a week and 1018 votes were cast, giving us a good confidence rating on the results. And thanks to Danielle Gelehrter for organizing the whole thing, to Jukka and MegaGearMax for their input, and to the fans on the forums for helping narrow down the initial list!
1. Evilseed
2. Calix
3. Lord Dactys
4. Veena
5. Horde Wraith
6. Tuvar
7. Baddrah
8. Prahvus
9. Illumina
10. Hawke
11. Miro
12. Skeleton Warrior
13. Odiphus
14. Ceratus
15. Kulatak
Evilseed with his MYP redesign dominated the poll pulling ahead with a massive lead. Calix securely placed second, pulling ahead of the pack. Places 3 through 11 all had a modest spread between each position. Then there was considerable drop-off in popularity for 12 thru 15.
Next up are the results for Huntara VS Lord Masque. The main page poll setup by Adam Tyner ran for a week and 1148 votes were cast, giving us a good confidence rating on the results.
Huntara: 48%
Lord Masque: 52%
From the beginning to the end of the poll, those percentages stayed almost identical. But it was still a close vote which reflects the close results seen on the He-Man.org forum fan poll as well as other polls seen elsewhere online. Will the results be the same in SDCC? We'll find out in about a week!
What are your thoughts on the results?
And, please head over and vote in the "Comics, Books and Media in MOTUC" fan poll to help rank which characters you'd love to see in MOTUC.
Was hoping to see Hawke closer to the top of the list, but very happy MYP Evilseed did well. Lets hope the results at SDCC concerning Huntara vs Masque are the same as here on the Org. Sorry Huntara fans, I cant have Shokoti without Lord Masque.
The Year Of The GOAT Is Upon Us
a bit surprise here but anyway,
The org spoke loud and clear so now let's hope Mattel will be smart enought to
place them strategically enough in the queue so the brand can move forward for years and years to come.
The 200x is not surprising. Evilseed will be a great one, particularly if they include parts to create his 200x and Filmation looks - it should be pretty easy. I was hoping Hawke would be higher on the list.
I'm not surprised that Lord Masque pulled ahead. I didn't vote for him though. I think 2 factors gave him the edge: 1. He's MOTU; 2. (Most important) He is the other half of the Shokoti duo. Here's to hoping that Huntara does get made - I suspect she will either show up in a second Filmation sub, or be a strong sub lure in 2016. This line still has life left after 2015, and Huntara's indicative of that.
Celebrate 30 Years of POP
Follow Mykan Speaks All on Twitter or Facebook.
PRAHVUS, EVILSEED and CALIX are the must for me and I'm happy to see them in the top 10.
I'm a bit surprised for the Skeletons Warriors... I would have predict more love for them.
For Huntara and Lord Masque, it's in a nutshell because both characters would be a great figure. However, as Shokoti will be released... Lord Masque should be the first to be made.
If we got at least those top three before the end of the line I'd be happy
Surprised Miro and Skeleton Warrior weren't a little higher though.
Also surprised with how close the Lord Masque/Huntara vite was. I was expecting Lord Masque to win by a lot more.

This vote does not mean, that those characters would sell well. This is only a ranking. I voted myself, but at the current price point, I won't spend $$$ on these guys...
Evilseed and Calix, hope we see either one of those guys on the upcoming reveals.
Evil Army of the Horde!!
Wow...mad love for the Horde Wraiths! Are we looking at the next great army builder?

I'm surprised that folks like Tuvar, Baddrah, and Veena pulled ahead of Prahvus... I know they're not variants per se, but I figured the more original characters like Prahvus and heck even the Kulatuk would trump variations on a theme. Personally, I don't care for Calix one bit so I was surprised to see him take second!
As for the Huntara Vs Lord Masque vote, I'm crossing fingers the same results occur next week! I want that Masque figure real bad
Good to see the Horde Wraith place so highly. Thought Pravus would be higher though.
It's definitely interesting that even here at the Org Illumina is still in the bottom half of the most wanted 200X characters.
Well, I hope this means we get a 200x EvilSeed and Calix, if no one else.
I'm glad to see Calix and the Horde Wraiths poll so close to the top.
Also, would it be possible to give the values for each character? In other words, what average number lead Evilseed to be #1 and Calix to be #2? What was the difference between these numbers?
Recent.... HATMOTU Beast Man & Evil Seed
Wanted.... Filmation Mer-Man, Teela & Sorceress
Needed.... MOTUC Lord Masque
Oh man, did I forget to use these [sarcasm][/sarcasm] again? Sorry....
I'm a little disappointed that Prahvus didn't score higher. I'd love to see how the 4H would make him.
YES! Lord Masque wins!! While I love Huntara as well, I hope this is the way the vote goes next week at SDCC.
Good to see Lord Dactys in the top 5. I dunno about the Horde Wraiths…I'd rather have Horde Troopers as army builders before those guys.
200X fan? Classic fan? What does that mean? I'm a MotU fan!!!
This poll didn't turn out as favorably as the last one, only two of my top 5 made it into the top 5. The highest any of my picks appeared was at #4. I had also picked Huntara.
Well Calix wasn't #1 but close enough. Surprised Miro was so low.
Quote the Raven, Nevermore.
It can't rain all the time.
"Live the journey, for every destination is but a doorway to another."
Disappointed to see Miro so far down on the list. As far as the popularity of the Horde Wraiths, I just don't get it. Since we've gotten Shadow Weaver, the Horde Wraiths are of very little interest to me.
Horde Wraith was my #1 pick for this poll. They're just the more visually appealing design out of the entire bunch for my personal taste. Then Two Bad and Stinkor's alter egos rounded out my top 4. The rest I pretty much left in alphabetical order since I had little interest in any of them.
As for Masque vs Huntara, I'm in the camp that I'm edging closer to Masque simply because we have Shokoti and I want the duo to be together on my toy shelf sooner than later. Though I still want Huntara very much. That right there is probably the hardest poll to choose from to date since they're both visually appealing looking characters for me.
Proud supporter of the Snake Men.
Most Wanted: Slave Girl, Lizorr, T-Rex, Great Black Wizard, rest of New Adventures, Lodar, MOP Demons, Dream Mistress.
Most Wanted Filmation: Ileena, Granita, Teela, Hordak head, Dylamug, Twiggets, Trollans, Widgets, Dark Dream, Lady Valtira, Count Marzo, Chimera.
No Slave Girl? Watch us hurl!
A barbaric world without slave girls? That's truly barbaric!

A request to unseal a legal settlement between a Mt. Pleasant Township couple and a group of gas drilling companies will be made anew Wednesday in Washington County Court.
Attorneys for the Observer-Reporter and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette will file a petition Wednesday morning asking the court to grant an expedited half-day hearing to hear their arguments in favor of unsealing the legal settlement between Stephanie and Chris Hallowich and Range Resources, MarkWest Energy Partners and Williams Gas/Laurel Mountain Midstream.
Their request comes on the heels of the state Superior Court's ruling Friday that the matter should return and be heard by a trial court here.
The Hallowiches had claimed that nearby drilling operations, a compressor station and a gas processing plant made their property worthless and posed health risks to their family. Their lawsuit was settled Aug. 23, 2011, following a closed-door meeting in the chambers of now-retired Washington County Judge Paul Pozonsky. The case file was immediately sealed, and all parties were forbidden to discuss any portion of the agreement.
During the August 2011 session, a P-G reporter openly objected to the sealing of the settlement. The newspapers contend sealing the record is in violation of the common law rights of the media.
On Sept. 6, 2011, the P-G petitioned the court to intervene, and the O-R joined the petition.
Pozonsky contended the newspapers should have sought to intervene in the case before final action was taken to seal the settlement.
In its ruling, however, the three-member Superior Court panel found Pozonsky should have more "liberally" construed a state rule and accepted arguments from the newspapers.

A photograph of an old service station at the corner of Locust and Highland avenues in Washington accompanied a front-page article Tuesday about the progress of the Route 19 corridor project. The building and the dilapidated houses around it have been a familiar and depressing site to Washington residents for decades. That these structures will soon be bulldozed flat is welcome news.
The photo accompanying this editorial shows the same service station in better days – the 1930s. At that time, before the interstate highways were constructed, Washington still was an important crossroads: U.S. 40 running east-west and U.S. 19 going north-south. As it is today, Route 19 coming from Pittsburgh was a major entrance to the city, and property owners treated it that way.
While so much has progressed in three-quarters of a century, so much has also declined. The corridor project, in the planning stages for years, is finally under way, and it's about time. No one has seen fit to maintain, let alone restore, these old buildings in this part of the city, so it is best that they disappear and make way for new development.
The initial part of the corridor project – the reconstruction of Lincoln Street – is all but complete. Starting in as early as March, College Street will be ripped up and redone, followed by Highland and Ridge avenues. This will mean many more months of inconvenience to motorists, but we urge them to take the long view. This entrance to Washington will never look as quaint and tidy as it once did, but this major reconstruction project offers an opportunity to regain a little of that lost pride.

You wouldn't keep a new car hidden away in the garage. You'd show it off, right? So why are you still hiding your hard-earned pecs and quads behind a bear suit? Have you not heard of body shaving and trimming -- aka manscaping?
"Hair really does hide muscles and obscure their definition," says Cynthia James, a former professional bodybuilder and a judge at the International Federation of Body Building. "A hairless body is the only way to show off the details of your muscles and physique and reveal symmetry."
The good news is you don't have to invest in any new products to manscape for bigger-looking muscles -- the tools you use to groom your facial hair will do. In fact, all you need is an electric trimmer, a five-blade razor, shaving cream, a full-length mirror and a nice long shower.
"If you're going to shave your body, you always need to prep it first with water and soap," says Dr. Jeffrey Benabio, a clinical dermatologist and skin care expert in San Diego and a fellow of the American Academy of Dermatology. "It softens the skin and hair so that you get the closest possible shave, and it helps prevent razor burn and ingrown hairs." A good rule of thumb: Wait until the end of your shower before body shaving. But if you have the time, try soaking in a hot bath -- it's much more effective at softening skin than is a shower.
Unlike your face, your body's unique bulges and curves require individual attention. Here's how to conquer them all.
As for your plan of attack, when it comes to chest hair, you want to shave with (not against) the grain of the hair. "Chest hair tends to be coarse and curly," says Benabio, "and if you shave against the hair growth pattern, you could accidentally shave the hair beneath the surface, causing it to curl up under the skin" (read: ingrown hair).
One more thing: Mind the nipples. You might even want to put round adhesive bandages over them before you shave. Sure, they're not the most manly of body parts, but fess up, you'd miss them if they were gone.
"You shave your face every day, so you're used to the contours," says Benabio. "It's like brushing your teeth, you get used to the routine. But when you're shaving in new places, you have to be more careful." One trick is to think of your razor as a paintbrush and use the same loose wrist motions that you would use when painting.
But the tricky part is figuring out where to stop and start. If your arm hair is light in color and not too dense, you can probably just shave from your shoulder to your elbow and leave the rest alone. On the other hand, if your arm hair is dark and thick, you're better off shaving all the way down to your wrist for a more uniform look.

People love their pets.
So it shouldn't be a surprise that pet owners are spending more money on their furry friends than ever before.
According to the American Pet Products Association, a trade group based in Greenwich, Conn., animal lovers in the United States spent $53 billion on pet services in 2012, nearly doubling the amount they shelled out in 2001, when consumers spent $28.5 billion.
Pet ownership is at an all-time high; 68 percent of households own an animal.
That's good news for Valerie Mahoney of Washington, who owns Pets in Pastel, a pet portrait business specializing in pastel artwork.
Mahoney, 22, a 2012 Washington & Jefferson College graduate who recently applied to law school, didn't plan her foray into pet portraiture, but she's hoping it will help her pay college expenses.
For a Christmas gift in 2011, Mahoney – who considered majoring in art but joked that she "didn't want to be a starving artist" – painted a portrait of an award-winning Spanish-Norman horse named Brach for owner Kristin Hermann of Chartiers Township.
"It's absolutely gorgeous. I loved it," said Hermann, who is Mahoney's riding instructor. "We pushed her to start a website when we saw how talented she was."
Mahoney is an animal lover who has owned and rescued dogs, horses, rabbits and all other sorts of pets since she was a little girl.
"I love being around animals, so it makes sense to do this and earn a little money," said Mahoney. "I'm such a perfectionist with my artwork. The important part is capturing the personality."
Mahoney, who painted Canon-McMillan High School's Hall of Honor mural, works from photos of the pets she is sketching, and she sells most of her paintings for about $75.
Hers isn't the only business that's blossoming: These days, high-end foods, bedding, toys, clothing and accessories also are popular.
Lorraine Koval of Washington, who owns Peanut Butter Bones, a 10-year-old company that makes homemade healthy dog treats, attributes the increase in people's spending to their ideas about the role that pets play in our lives. For doting pet owners, their pets have become a part of the family.
"My children treat their dogs the same way they treat their children," said Koval, who has owned Doberman pinschers and rottweilers. "People are willing to buy better and healthier food for their pets, without all of the chemicals and processed ingredients you can't even pronounce."
Every weekend, Koval bakes hundreds of dog treats, rolling, cutting and packing the bones, which she sells at The Springhouse, Pleasant Valley Animal Clinic in McMurray, Precious Paws in Bridgeville and on her Etsy website, www. etsy.com/shop/peanutbutterbones. The peanut butter treats, which contain no added sugars and are preservative free, cost as little as $4.25 for a four-ounce box containing about 20 treats.
According to the APPA, spending on services like grooming, boarding, hotels and pet-sitting grew nearly 10 percent during 2012 to almost $4.4 billion. Results of the APPA's 2011-12 national pet owner survey showed that, on average, a dog owner spent about $250 on routine veterinarian care, $275 on kennel boarding, $73 on grooming, $70 on food treats and $40 on toys.
The Pooch Pitt in McMurray offers crate-free day care, boarding and grooming services at its state-of-the art facility.
"More people are willing to spend more money on their animals to keep them happy and healthy than they have in the past," said Kim Rast, manager and certified dog trainer at The Pooch Pitt. "They're such a part of the family."
The business also offers a large indoor and outdoor playground, a spa and walks on the Montour Trail. Web cameras called "pooch cams" enable owners to check in on their pets during their stay.
"Pets are family members, and seeing your dog running around, playing and being happy puts people at ease when they're away or on vacation," said Rast. "A lot of people who board here felt guilty leaving their dogs sitting in a kennel."
There appears to be no end in sight for people's love affair with their pets, and the APPA predicts another 4 percent gain this year.
That means more work for Mahoney, who was recently hired by dog breeder Lindy Whyte of Canton Township to paint a portrait of her 130-pound bullmastiff.
"As a dog breeder and someone who's involved in the animal world, I've seen lots of animal paintings. But Valerie's are special. Valerie's painting of Brach spoke to me. Her art portrays the soul of the horse," Whyte said.
Part of the appeal of the portraits is how meaningful they are to the animals' owners.
Mahoney talked about a neighbor who cried when she received the picture of her dog for Christmas, presented as a gift by Mahoney.
"She wrote me a really nice thank-you letter," said Mahoney. "And her daughters told me that I ruined Christmas for them because she wouldn't like anything they got her nearly as much as she liked the portrait."

Test scores at this school fall below the state average. This suggests that most students at this school may not be performing at grade level.
Parent tips
Ask the school what it's doing to help students who are behind. Understand what on-track learning looks like, and explore higher-performing schools in your area to find the best opportunities for your child to succeed.
This school is far above the state average in key measures of college and career readiness.
Even at schools with strong college and career readiness, there may be students who are not getting the opportunities they need to succeed.
Parent tip
Ask the school what it's doing to help all students succeed in advanced classes and prepare for college entrance tests.
Students at this school are making far less academic progress given where they were last year, compared to similar students in the state.
Very low progress with low test scores means students are starting at a low point and falling even farther behind their peers.
Ask the school how it interprets this rating and how it might use this information to improve its programs.

Building for Android
The build instructions should differ only minimally between operating systems. It might be possible to build through QtCreator, but I've no idea how to do so (see below)
- Necessitas (the Qt port for Android). The necessitas package includes the Android SDK and NDK, QtCreator, and the Qt libraries
- API 11 is the current target, so you may want to install that (it may be wise for us to target 10 or an earlier one, however); if using another target, be sure to comment out the bits of the necessitas Java code that's aren't applicable (they're prefixed by //@ANDROID-XX; it looks like necessitas QtCreator is supposed to treat these as preprocessor directives)
- JDK 6. Not JRE, not JDK 7
- If you have JRE installed, the JAVA_HOME environment variable may be pointing at that instead of the JDK.
Through your distro's package manager, install:
- cmake (>= 2.8 is required)
- bazaar
Use MacPorts to install Bazaar. In a terminal window:
$ sudo port install bzr
- cmake
- bazaar (you'll likely want to check TortoiseBzr in the installer)
- MinGW/MSYS (be sure you check "MSYS shell environment" in in the installer)
Sync to experimental Android branch
The code currently resides in a personal branch.
bzr checkout lp:~brady.brenot/stellarium/android-port
I'm using build scripts based on QGIS' Android port from Marco Bernasocchi. These will make sure the build environment is set up correctly, that everything is set up for cross-compiling instead of compiling for your system, that the files all end up in the right places, and that the apk is built from those files. You can do all of this manually, but it's a considerably larger amount of typing than is required to build for the other platforms.
Within the
stellarium/android/util directory, copy
config.templ to
config.conf, and edit according to the instructions within.
Open up a terminal, head into the
stellarium/android/util directory, and run
Assuming you configured the config.conf correctly, Stellarium should build without a hitch.
Deploy to device
This is a necessary step to test Stellarium, as the Android emulator lacks OpenGL ES 2 support and will crash very quickly. Get the Android device connected to your computer by USB and make sure the adb drivers are installed (may be automatic, but it varies according to device), or use adbWireless to connect over wifi. Once you've connected and got adb working, run:
./install-apk.sh ./run-apk.sh
to install, then run the apk, or:
To quickly rebuild/install/run it.
Debug (C++)
Debug with gdb
(I haven't actually tested this yet, but it should work as described below)
Import the project into Eclipse as described below. If you need to debug as soon as the native code starts, set a breakpoint right before the necessitas code starts up the native side of the app.
Now, on the device (or, do it on your workstation by prefixing these commands with "adb shell"):
Find the process ID for Stellarium.
Then attach gdbserver to it
gdbserver :5039 --attach pid
On your workstation, have ADB forward port from the device
adb forward tcp:5039 tcp:5039
Now, I have the feeling that the build process doesn't strip symbols from debug executables (if we'd used ndk-build, it would), so you likely don't have to give gdb an unstripped version of the library. However, the downside is that the library is enormous... then again, it's probably dwarfed by the size of the supporting files, so no biggie.
Open gdb, which should reside somewhere in the android ndk or sdk directories (figure out where).
Tell gdb where your source is
directory path/to/source
Instructions on using gdb are beyond the scope of this document. You're on your own.
Now you should be able to resume in Eclipse and in gdb, and debug as usual.
Debug with QtCreator
I haven't the foggiest. If anyone wants to investigate this, please go right ahead :)
To import the project into QtCreator
Run the
necessitas-qtcreator.sh script. This will start necessitas' QtCreator.
Edit the
build-stel.sh script, uncommenting the lines to echo the cmake flags and then exit. Run it, saving the cmake flags out to a file (
./build-stel.sh > flags.out). Copy the flags.
In QtCreator, open the CMakeLists.txt in the root of the directory where you've checked out Stellarium. In the following windows, choose "MinGW Makefiles" or "Unix Makefiles" as the generator, paste the flags into the cmake arguments box, and click "Run cmake". Proceed, and you should be done.
However, when you try to run or debug the app, it builds the code and then does nothing with it. Not sure how to resolve that, or how to get it to attach to a process on a device. QtCreator is still a very nice IDE for editing the code, though.
Debug (Java)
There is some Java code here, but thanks to necessitas it should be kept to a minimum (aside from localization and bits from necessitas itself).
Debug with Eclipse
Install Eclipse (preferably Eclipse Classic). Follow the directions for installing ADT.
Create a new project, choose Android project, and choose "Create project from existing source". Point Eclipse at the
stellarium/android/java directory. Go to Project -> Properties, and set the JDK compliance level to 1.6. You can now use Eclipse to build and debug the software. If debugging, as noted above, you must use a device. Stellarium will not run in the Android emulator.

By all accounts, life had not been easy for Dan Kapis Jr.
But the Canonsburg man found happiness in his friendship with Denise and Thomas Yakopin of Washington.
Kapis was on his way to the couple's wedding Friday afternoon at Chartiers Hill United Presbyterian Church when he was struck and killed by a car as he attempted to cross all four lanes of Route 19.
"We are broken for him, his family and the young man who hit him," wrote Thomas Yakopin in a Facebook message to the Observer-Reporter.
Denise talked with Kapis nearly every day, Yakopin said, and Kapis had spent Easter with them this year.
Yakopin said Kapis had very little, and Denise bought him shoes and helped him out.
Kapis, who did not work, attended Mass at St. Patrick Church in Canonsburg every Sunday.
He had just moved from his family's home in Canonsburg to an apartment in town.
Those who knew Kapis said he walked everywhere, and in the winter he wore a favorite fluorescent orange jumpsuit. Local residents often spotted him walking throughout the Canonsburg area.
So it wasn't a surprise he walked to the wedding.
"He wasn't afraid, he walked everywhere," said Michael DelVecchio of the Polish Club in Canonsburg, where Kapis was a regular. "He was a great gentleman and everybody loved him. I've received several phone calls from people who were concerned about him."
Kapis's brother, John, said Kapis was thoughtful and caring, and showed appreciation for the kindness people extended to him.
Shortly after 3:30 p.m. Friday, dressed neatly, Kapis maneuvered across the southbound lanes of Route 19 and paused briefly on the medial strip. He was yards away from the church when he was struck in the northbound lanes.
Kapis was carrying a wedding card with a gift card to the Olive Garden and a handwritten note inside.
Rev. Donald Austin, pastor of Hill Church, rushed to Kapis's side and comforted him until medical personnel arrived, and a short time later officiated the Yakopins' wedding.
The Yakopins found themselves mourning the loss of a friend and celebrating their marriage.
"We are trying to make sense of it all," wrote Yakopin. "Accidents do happen, and we realize life is fragile. But so close to home, on such a special day, with such a simple but blessed soul seems challenging."

Among the medical plans NYU offers to serve its diverse faculty and employee community is a consumer-driven health plan – NYU's High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) with Health Savings Account (HSA).
HDHPs are designed to give you more control over how you spend your health care dollars. You will also be enrolled in an HSA, a bank account that you may contribute to through pre-tax payroll deductions and withdraw from to pay for eligible out-of-pocket expenses.
What is the HDHP option?
The HDHP is administered through UnitedHealthcare, like the UHC Choice Plus Advantage and Choice Plus Value Point-of-Service Plans. With the HDHP, the annual deductible will be higher than other medical plans; however, that is only part of the cost you should consider when making your enrollment decision. Another cost to think about is the amount you pay for medical coverage through your payroll contributions. For the HDHP with HSA, this deduction from your paycheck is lower than other medical plans. Compared with the monthly premium for the UHC Choice Plus Advantage Plan, you can save approximately 40% with the HDHP with HSA. The lower premium gives you the perfect opportunity to start saving in an HSA account.
You have the freedom to see any health care provider, including specialists, without a referral, although you will save money if you see in-network providers. This is especially important since instead of a copay, you will be paying the full cost of a doctor's visit or service until you satisfy your deductible. Once you meet the annual deductible, you will pay a lower coinsurance percentage when you use an in-network provider.
To encourage a healthy lifestyle and active management of your health, eligible preventive care services, such as routine physicals and well-woman exams, are covered at 100%. Some preventive care prescriptions will also be covered at 100%. All other services (including prescription drugs) are subject to the deductible before the Plan pays a portion of the cost. Once you meet the deductible, you and the Plan share the costs of your care (coinsurance).
How does the HSA component help?
When you enroll in the HDHP, a Health Savings Account (HSA) will automatically be opened for you. The HSA is essentially a bank account that allows you to save and pay for eligible health care expenses. Depending on your annual salary, NYU may contribute to your HSA on your behalf. You own your HSA and the account balance rolls over year-to-year. The "use-it-or-lose-it" rule that applies to Flexible Spending Accounts does not apply to HSAs. HSA funds can be used to pay for services until you meet your deductible, pay coinsurance amounts after you meet your deductible, or you can save your HSA balance, letting the balance grow tax-free and using it for future health care expenses.
Tip: NYU is committed to providing you choice, value, and quality in health care coverage, with benefit plans that are competitive, affordable, and compliant. During Annual Enrollment, you will have access to robust Decision Support Tools that will be available through the Benefits Resource Center. These tools will help you decide which health care coverage is right for you and your family.
|Key Features
|Lower payroll deductions than the other medical plan options (a savings of approximately 40% over the UHC Choice Plus Advantage Plan!)
|100% preventive care coverage
|Access to in-network and out-of-network providers
|Lower coinsurance than the UHC Choice Plus Point-of-Service Plans once you have met your deductible
|Tax-advantaged Health Savings Account (HSA) to help you build savings for medical expenses
|NYU contribution to the HSA if you earn less than $75,000 per year

Camp Director Diane Ninemire
Since her first year in the dugout in 1988, Diane Ninemire has continually pushed Cal to new heights as one of the winningest and most successful softball programs in the nation.View Diane Ninemire's Bio ⟩
Now entering her 29th season as head coach of the perennially powerful Golden Bears, the NFCA Hall of Famer is part of an elite group of world-class coaches, with more than 1,200 career wins, a national championship, two national Coach of the Year titles and numerous national and conference honors during her tenure.
In her nearly three decades at the helm of the Cal program, Ninemire has coached 18 players to All-America status for a total of 36 All-America honors and 95 All-Region honorees, plus 157 All-Pac-12 selections. In the classroom, Ninemire's Bears have excelled at one of the most prestigious universities in the world, combining for four CoSIDA Academic All-America honors and 68 Pac-12 All-Academic selections.
From 1999-2005, Cal made seven consecutive trips to the College World Series with the Bears' most recent appearances in Oklahoma City coming in 2012 and 2011. With a national championship, 12 Women's College World Series trips and 26 straight (28 overall) NCAA postseason appearances to her credit, it is no wonder that Cal enters every season as a contender for the national title.
Cal's most recent campaign ended with the program's 28th appearance in the postseason under Ninemire, where the Bears saw action at the Tuscaloosa Regional hosted by Alabama. With a 33-24-1 record, the 2016 season concluded with another All-American in graduating pitcher Nisa Ontiveros, three All-Region honors and four all-conference nods.
2015 saw the Bears return to the postseason after one year away, finishing with a 39-18 record and a trip to the Ann Arbor regional. Along the way, Cheyenne Cordes collected a Cal record 76 RBI on her way to becoming a NFCA second team All-American.
And, 2015 brought another career milestone for Ninemire, with a 7-4 win over Arizona on March 14 representing the 1,200th victory in her coaching career. She enters the 2016 season as one of just 11 coaches with 1,200 career wins.
The 2014 Bears produced strong offensive numbers that saw Cordes lead Cal in nearly every offensive category. Along with Danielle Henderson and Kylie Reed, Cordes was an NFCA All-Region selection. Cal also earned eight All-Conference honors, while four Bears were recognized for their efforts in the classroom as Pac-12 All-Academic Honorable Mention selections.
The Golden Bears punched their ticket to a 26th consecutive postseason in 2013, in a season that saw Jolene Henderson break Michele Granger's career wins record and become the winningest Cal pitcher in program history (130 wins). The team lost to eventual WCWS participant Michigan at the Ann Arbor Regional, failing to advance to Super Regionals for only the second time since the Super Regional format was introduced in 2005. Henderson was named an All-American while Lindsey Ziegenhirt became Cal's first CoSIDA Academic All-American since 2005, and the 2013 squad raked in an additional five All-Region, seven All-Pac-12 and three Pac-12 All-Academic honors.
Thanks to an 8-1 victory over then-No. 14/18 Oregon on April 20, 2012, Ninemire hit one of the most impressive milestones in coaching history - notching career win No. 1,100.
In 2012, Cal set program single-season records for most runs scored (422), RBI (376), homers (84), total bases (856), and the highest fielding percentage (.979). Not only did the 58 wins set a new team best, but they also topped the previous high of 56, which was set by the 2002 NCAA Title-winning team.
Cal opened the 2012 year on a 23-game winning streak before dropping its sole nonconference loss of the regular season to Hawaii in a 10-inning battle. The Bears won the inaugural Pac-12 title by going 21-3 in the most competitive softball conference in the country, winning every single series and sweeping five of the eight series. Cal claimed the No. 1 spot in at least one of the two national polls 13 times this season, finishing the campaigned third in both rankings. After winning the Berkeley Regional and Berkeley Super Regional, the Bears went 2-2 at the Women's College World Series, in which they defeated LSU and Oregon but lost to eventual champion Alabama and eventual runner-up Oklahoma.
In 2011, the Golden Bears returned to the hallowed grounds of Oklahoma City for the 11th time in school history for the Women's College World Series. They got there by notching Cal's first-ever Super Regional series title over an SEC School - going 2-1 against host Kentucky. On the Regional level, the Bears breezed through the competition in Louisville.
After starting the 2011 campaign ranked 12th in the polls and slated to finish fourth in the Pac-10, Cal ended the year No. 5 in the country and second in the conference. Cal closed out the year at a 45-13 clip with an impressive 15-6 conference record to take second place, marking the best Pac-10 finish since 2005, when the Bears tied for first. The Bears won at least one game in each Pac-10 series and swept three schools - then-No.17 Oregon, Oregon State as well as then-No. 8 and defending national champion UCLA. For their stunning work in 2011, the National Fast Pitch Coaches' Association lauded the Cal coaching staff as the Pacific Region Coaching Staff of the Year.
In the fall of 2011, Midland University honored Ninemire with induction into its Athletic Hall of Fame. Ninemire began her collegiate playing career at Midland in 1976, lettering in basketball and softball. Ninemire led Midland softball to a state championship in 1977.
Thanks to a 6-0 victory over Sacramento State on April 7, Ninemire became the ninth coach in the history of Division I softball to notch 1,000 wins. Already the winningest coach - male or female - in all of Cal history for any sport, Ninemire now has a career record of 1,059-509 after leading the Bears to the WCWS in 2011. She has accumulated the second-most wins in Pac-10 history (1,059).
In addition to posting their 37th consecutive winning record in 2010, the Bears finished 10-11 in the Pac-10 Conference to tie for fourth, which is the highest conference finish since 2005, when the Bears were third. The Bears were one of the seven Pac-10 teams to earn an at-large bid to the postseason, marking their 25th consecutive trip to NCAA tournament, which is the second-longest streak in the nation. Cal shut out the competition at the Columbus Regional, icing Bucknell, Kentucky and Ohio State to win its fifth Regional title since the format was adopted in 2005, before falling to No. 6-seeded Georgia in Athens, Ga.
In 2009, Ninemire set another career milestone, joining the National Fastpitch Coaches Association's Hall of Fame class that year. Ninemire, who joined Frank Cheek of Humboldt State and Bill Edwards of Hofstra, was inducted into the NFCA Hall of Fame on Friday, Dec. 11 2009, at the Renaissance Hotel in Nashville, Tenn.
Ninemire helped make Golden Bear history in 2002 when she directed Cal to its first NCAA Championship at the WCWS with a 6-0 win over Arizona, marking the first women's title in Cal athletic program history. The 2002 team set a school record for wins (56), while Jocelyn Forest claimed the tournament's Most Outstanding Player honor, and Ninemire was chosen as the NFCA National Coach of the Year. Cal became the first Pac-10 team other than UCLA and Arizona to ever win the softball national title. In the circle, Forest went undefeated in Cal's postseason run and completed the WCWS with a 4-0 record, 0.50 earned run average and 33 strikeouts in 28.0 innings.
Ninemire has enjoyed plenty of other memorable moments along her career path. In 2005, Cal won a share of the Pac-10 title (a first for a Ninemire squad) and advanced to its seventh consecutive WCWS. The 2004 version of the Bears was one of Ninemire's most successful and most decorated groups, as four All-Americans and eight All-Pac-10 selections helped drive Cal to its third consecutive WCWS championship game appearance. That same year, her winning reputation was recognized internationally when she was named as an assistant coach to the inaugural Greek Olympic softball team. Two of Ninemire's former players - Michele Granger and Gillian Boxx - were four-time All-Americans and helped the United States win a gold medal as members of the 1996 Olympic Team in Atlanta. Former California Golden Bear Vicky Galindo, who Ninemire coached, was the most recent Cal softball player named to the 2008 15-member Olympic Team roster. In 2001, Cal began the season 32-0 before finishing fifth at the WCWS.
Prior to becoming head coach, Ninemire served as an assistant for five years at Cal under Donna Terry. Together, the tandem led the Bears to three appearances in the NCAA Tournament, a third-place finish at the 1986 WCWS and the inaugural Pac-10 championship in 1987.
Along with her coaching duties, Ninemire is a member of the NCAA Pacific Region Advisory Committee and a former chair of the All-American Selection Committee.
Ninemire began her collegiate playing career at Midland Lutheran College (Fremont, Neb.), leading the team to a state championship as a freshman. After one season, she transferred to Nebraska-Omaha, where she played on both the softball and basketball teams for three years. A shortstop and left fielder, Ninemire helped UNO win the 1978 championship and make three appearances in the College World Series.
Ninemire graduated from UNO in 1980 and completed her master's degree in physical education at Texas Woman's University in 1987. She began her coaching career at TWU in 1980 as Terry's assistant before heading west to assist Terry and the Golden Bear program in 1983.

Tammy Lohmann enters her 12th season with the California softball program in 2017, helping to guide the Golden Bears to the NCAA Softball Tournament in 10 of her 11 previous seasons with the Bears.
Under Lohmann's tutelage, Cal student-athletes have garnered 71 all-conference selections and 11 All-America selections. In 10 of her 11 seasons, Lohmann helped guide the Bears into the postseason, producing six super regional and two Women's College World Series appearances over that span.
In 2015, Lohmann helped guide a Cal offense that set a school record for team batting average, finishing the season at .334. Cheyenne Cordes set a school record for RBI in a single season with 76 while Jazmyn Jackson ranked second all-time in single season batting average at .446. The Bears landed five players on the Pac-12 All-Conference team and six players were named to the Pac-12 All-Academic team.
With Lohmann's supervision, the 2014 Bears produced strong offensive numbers that saw Cordes lead Cal in nearly every offensive category. Along with Danielle Henderson and Kylie Reed, Cordes was an NFCA All-Region selection. Cal also earned eight All-Conference honors, while four Bears were recognized for their efforts in the classroom as Pac-12 All-Academic Honorable Mention selections.

The successful 2013 squad combined for one All-America, one CoSIDA Academic All-America, five All-Region, seven All-Pac-12 and three Pac-12 All-Academic honors.
The 2012 season saw Lohmann and the Bears set program single-season records for most runs scored (422), RBI (376), homers (84), total bases (856) and the highest fielding percentage (.979). Not only do the 58 wins achieved in 2012 set a new team best, but they also top the previous high of 56, which was set by the 2002 NCAA Title-winning team. The Bears won the inaugural Pac-12 title by posting a 21-3 conference record. In 13 of the 2012 season's weeks, Cal was ranked first in at least one national poll and finished the year ranked third after tying ASU for bronze in the Women's College World Series.
In 2011, the Golden Bears returned to the hallowed grounds of Oklahoma City for the 11th time in school history for the Women's College World Series. They got there by notching Cal's first-ever Super Regional series title over an SEC School - going 2-1 against host Kentucky.

For their stunning work in 2011, the National Fast Pitch Coaches' Association lauded the Cal coaching staff as the Pacific Region Coaching Staff of the Year.
During the 2010 campaign, Lohmann helped direct the Bears to their best Pac-10 Conference finish since 2005 with a 10-11 record in conference play to tie for fourth. Additionally, the Bears were one of the seven Pac-10 teams to earn an at-large bid to the postseason, and shut out the Columbus Regional, sweeping through the three opponents, before falling in Super Regional play to No. 6-seeded Georgia.
In 2009, thanks to Lohmann's assistance in the development of the Cal hitters, the Golden Bears produced team records in home runs (49) and runs (322) in 2007, and RBI (279) in 2008 and broke their home-run record with 55 round-trippers in 2009.
Prior to her arrival in the Bay Area in 2006, Lohmann was an assistant coach at Wisconsin, helping guide the Badgers to a NCAA Regional appearance in 2005. She coached numerous All-Big Ten conference and regional players with the Badgers. Wisconsin hitters posted a record-breaking offensive season in 2005, setting multiple school records.
As a player, Lohmann was a two-time all-conference selection at Arizona State and was team captain for the 1997 season. She was the ASU Freshman of the Year in 1993 and is on ASU's single-season and career record charts in hits, doubles, and stolen bases.
During the summer of 1998, Lohmann was a pitcher and a shortstop for the Arizona Peppers in the Ladies Professional Baseball League. She played the same positions during the 1998 USA Women's Baseball National Tournament, helping the Arizona Angels to a runner-up finish. In 1999, Lohmann played in the Women's Professional Softball League as a member of the North Carolina Diamonds.
She earned her master's degree in human service administration from Bradley in December 2002. Lohmann is also a one-star master coach with the National Fastpitch Coaches College.

D'Arcy marked his second season on the Cal staff in 2016 and guided a five-pitcher staff to a 2.98 team ERA that was nearly a full run lower than the previous season. Senior Nisa Ontiverosflourished under D'Arcy's tutelage, ending the regular season with a 1.91 ERA that made her the only pitcher in the conference to finish under 2.00. Ontiveros earned first team All-Pac-12 honors as well as a spot on the NFCA All-Region team and was named espnW National Player of the Week for a tremendous week in which she went 4-0 with 48 strikeouts against UC Davis and Stanford.
In his first season in Berkeley in 2015, the Bears compiled a 39-18 record and reached a NCAA Regional in Michigan.

Mandy Santos joined the Golden Bears in the fall of 2013 as the team's volunteer assistant coach.
With a former competitive fastpitch player for a father, Santos was practically born with a softball in her hand. She began playing at five years old, and played competitively through high school as a shortstop and catcher until an injury sidelined her from the game and ended her hopes of pursuing a collegiate softball career.
From 1992 to 2011 Santos enjoyed a successful corporate career where she worked in a number of management positions and oversaw staffing and resources in fields including project and client management, reverse logistics, distribution and service operations.
Despite her prosperous corporate career, Santos always felt that something was missing. In 2004, she formally joined the coaching staff of her alma mater – Archbishop Mitty High School. She attended her first Women's College World Series in 2008 as a spectator and from then on set her sights on a second career as a coach.
Santos left her corporate career in 2011 to join the staff at Presentation High School in San Jose, where she served as Assistant Athletic Director and head varsity softball coach. She managed 11 sports across 25 teams, and oversaw booster activities and concessions plus coaching staff evaluation. Throughout this time, Santos assisted California head coach Diane Ninemire during summer camps and clinics and helped 12 of her high school athletes, including former Oklahoma standout Keilani Ricketts, to NCAA Division I programs.
Santos is currently pursuing a degree with the University of Phoenix.
