CII Director-General Chandrajit Banerjee has said Andhra Pradesh State has evoked a lot of interest in the business leaders across the world making an impressive mark on Davos proceedings.
During an interaction with Baneerjee, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, on the fourth day in Switzerland, requested him to help set up centers of Innovation for creating skilled workforce and facilitate flow of investments. After a meeting with Dominic Barton, Global CEO, McKinsey & Company, the Chief Minister said they will bring in best practices for structuring the capital city and market tourism and investment potentials. Recalling his association with the company going back to 1996-97, Chandrababu said McKinsey played a vital role for Vision-2020 for the united Andhra Pradesh State. McKinsey is serving as a consultant to the Government of Andhra Pradesh to help mobilise private and global financing for Amaravati.
Prakash Lohia of Indorama Synthetics met the Chief Minister and evinced interest to invest $500 million in the State. He said Indorama is the largest producers of plastic bottles and surgical gloves in the world, with plants in Indonesia and Africa.
Responding positively, the Chief Minister explained about the industrial-incentive policies in the State and assured him that all clearances will be given at the earliest. A team from Indorama will visit Andhra Pradesh in March to conduct a study.
Shinichi Kitaoka, President, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) said India is back in focus for them now, elaborating on the advantages of demographic dividend, technology penetration and huge market demand.
The Chief Minister said, "Andhra Pradesh offers a lot of opportunities to Japan. Construction of People's Capital – Amaravati, is a big opportunity. We want to complete Phase I of construction by 2018". He also invited Kitaoka to visit Andhra Pradesh to which he gladly agreed.
Another industrialist John T Chambers, Executive Chaiman, CISCO, said they will set up a working group, consisting of two sides: to study the requirements and the opportunities. Explaining various e-initiatives launched by the State government, the Chief Minister said he aims to provide 15 to 20 Mbps connection to each household. (NSS)

Legal Question in Family Law in Florida
My son has been separated for over 6 years but is afraid to divorce for fear of alimony as he is paying over a thousand a month in child support. He earns 65K a year and this leaves him with little to live on. His wife has the two kids and has been living with another man for four years now. My question is, in the state of Florida would he have to pay her alimony in this situation? They have been married for 17 years.
4 Answers from Attorneys
Your son is a big boy, he should be making the inquires. With that being said, and with the facts as represented, he probably doesn't have much of an exposure to alimony. If anything, his continuing delay in getting a divorce only serves to weaken his case.
It depends. You should have your son consult a attorney.
Seventeen years is sort of the "magic line" at which alimony can become "lifetime alimony" in Florida, but given that they've been separated for so long, alimony sounds very unlikely. Also, since she is living with someone, if she and her boyfriend are commingling their money, there almost certainly won't be alimony.
If she is openly living with a new paramour he likely will not have to pay alimony.

Hi Kopyov,
My company purchased your template, and we are really loving it so far. I am having an issue with the progress bar though. How can you change the value/% of the progress bar?
Thanks, Eric
Also, since your code is using id="progressbar", I can't put multiple progress bars on the same page??
in custom.js i have added this line applicationlanguage: { valueNotEquals: "default" },
but when i am validating the form there is no error message displayed. There is an error message only if i am defining as class class="required" but in this way i do not have anymore the search tool in the select.
Can you help me ?
Unfortunately Select2 plugin doesn't work with validation engine by default and requires some additional tweaks. There are some custom workarounds, but i am waiting for official release with these fixes.
The uniform file upload button (+) isnt working in Firefox, though it works in Chrome. I verified that this is an issue with your demo page as well. Clicking in the text box works, but not clicking on the icon. Any ideas?
It's a well known issue. One of the possible solutions is to reduce input file width to 210px and set width: 100%; to .uploader input {} instead of fixed width.
Interesting because it works fine on the examples over on the uniform website. I'll take a look and see if I can figure it out.
I havent had ask for support in over a year. Just wondering if a proper support page was ever set up where I can search for issues before I ask. I'm too lazy to go through 30 pages of comments
Also, this theme is still my favorite!
Yeah, i know that they have changed css and released a new version, but i just checked this version with current it's brain css and issue is still there, so need to dig deeper. Will try to do it on Monday.
Hi – I'm trying to find a way to change the default tab that is displayed or to switch between active tabs programatically – not on an onClick within the Tabs section. Can you please advise?
Please refer to this page, ACTIVE option. This page contain all possible options, methods and events of jquery ui tabs
I don't think it's using jqueryui tabs – looks like a sinpletabs function in custom.js
Seems like you're using very old version of It's Brain. Custom tabs were replaced with jquery ui tabs a few updates ago. Please download the latest version of template
Hello there,
When I change the language of the class title text to Bulgarian (Cyrillic) the font gets messed up , the letters become larger and it looks ugly. ( http://prikachi.com/images/693/6165693Z.jpg )
Is there any solution to that? :\
Kind Regards
Hey there.Please replace
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cuprum' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css' />with this:
<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Cuprum&subset=latin,cyrillic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
in html code, now it should support cyrillic
You are the best!
Firstly fall, thanx for this template. Will you update it for retina version?
Hi there.
I will try to do it in the next update
I am waiting excitedly
Is it possible to add all the files that are uploaded with the File Upload widget?
What do you mean? There is a single file upload, it is a standard file input with additional styles.
We just bought your template and it's very good.
Please we have an issue with the js scripts that you've put on all pages.
If we remove any the who page looks different. All the style are gone.
We believe the many links to scripts might make the page load slowly.
Please respond to allow us know what to do.
If you remove the path to js plugins in html head section, remove also plugin functions in custom.js file
I just tried that. Same result.
I removed the link to the script below
<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/plugins/ui/jquery.timeentry.min.js"></script>
And also removed the timeentry Function from the custom.js file below:
$('.timepicker').timeEntry({ show24Hours: true, // 24 hours format showSeconds: true, // Show seconds? spinnerImage: 'images/ui/spinnerUpDown.png', // Arrows image spinnerSize: [17, 28, 0], // Image size spinnerIncDecOnly: true // Only up and down arrows });
I saved both files. The page looked differently still. most styles were gone.
Sorry, i don't see you bought anything here. If you did, ask for support from a correct account.
Do you want to see brain in real world?http://www.ricardored.com
I'm about to buy one of your themes (It's Brain or Crown).
One thing that bothers me on It's Brain (which i like better than Crown) is that I dont see any Inputs grid. To me, this aspect is very important as i have large forms (30 fields+) with short text and i'd like to be able to have some columned input.
Can you please if this is possible on It's Brain or should i buy the Crown template?
Thank you very much for your time.
Can we have a short example of a 2(3)-column form using the fluid class?
Thank you very much.
Got it, my mistake!
Is it possible to change a value of a combobox (tag=select)? I use this jquery code to change the value of a normal combobox $('select#id').val('value') and works. But in the theme forest combos, the value is changed, but visually stays the same, doesn't change.
Thx in advanced.
ha ha! Got it. i know how to work around the none combo update. $.uniform.update();
No problem, glad your issue was solved so fast
Working hard with the template, it's awesome! Quick question: regarding combo-boxes, if one option is considerably larger than the rest, selecting one of the small options and re-opening the combo-box makes the large value split on 3-4 rows. Tried to restyle to a fix value (like 300px or so) but that doesnt work. How can I extend the class to a specific (fixed) value?
for example: http://imgur.com/hLb7q0z
I might be being a little silly here, but is this theme compatible with wordpress. If so which version?
No, it isn't, it's an html/css/js template, you need an additional development to make it compatible.
Hello Eugene, Please, can you tell me wich script is used for multiple upload? Thanks
Hey there.
It's Plupload plugin.
Got a question In a form like that shown in http://demo.kopyov.com/itsbrain/liquid/light/form_elements.html how can I deselect and element of "Select with search:" once selected? For example if I select Canada how can i cancel that selection? I did not find any way to do that. Thanks
allowClear: truebut please note you will need to add some css code for it to stylize close button properly.
Hi.. i have a problem to validate a checkbox. $("#loginCheck").val(), doenst work, because what i could see was that the span above change the class to CHECKED and not the input to checked="checked". How can I get a val true or false for this case? I am doing the remember me login and need to know if is checked or not. thank you
Please refer to Validation documentation, hope that helps.Also, if you need to change checkbox values dynamically, you need to use
it is not working.. i still get always ON, even if it is unchecked =\
did you make any changes in the code? I was trying to find related issues and nothing. By default Uniform sends a proper checkbox/radio value, running update should fix the problem. May i see your page online if you made any changes?
i did… but debuging it is not sowing any error… and i believe that dont have. it is the only issue so far. you can see at www.tutoriaead.com.br/restrito/ i put an alert after try to login.. and show ALWAYS on for the checkbox =\
<input type="checkbox" id="remember" name="remember" class="validate[required]" />and everything works fine. You need only to add position: relative; to
div.checker span { ... }
but it is not a required field… thats d thinf. i want to know if was checked OR not… the alert will say ON if is checked and OFF if not… and my login function will have different actions…. the problem is that the field is always saying ON (checked) but it is not =\
i dont want to require as checked. i want to know if was checked or not =\ in my JS script, $("#loginRemember").val(), is returning always checked.. i want to know how i can get checked or unchecked. thanks
any news? i still cant validate a checkbox.. even if it is not checked, the value is get as ON. u can see at: tutoriaead.com.br/restrito
Did you solve it with custom code or some specific plugin stuff?
custom code.. i need to find a way, using ajax code to check a string, etc. if u have a right way, using the plugin, please let me know. thanks

Afternoon analysis 10.08.2015:
The Swiss franc dropped to the lowest level since mid-January. No direct comments on monetary policy from Fischer. Goldman Sachs comments on the zloty regarding the upcoming Polish election.
Weaker Swiss franc
The EUR/CHF rose to the highest level since January 15th. We can find several reasons behind the move. Firstly, some positive sings can be seen form the SNB actions. The negative interest rates are discouraging short term capital flow to the "safe heaven".
Another important issues are currency interventions which were run by the SNB in July. They stopped the Swiss currency from appreciation in the culmination of Greece crisis. It might also have discouraged speculators to generate more volatility during the tense moment in the eurozone. On the other hand, the Swiss currency is getting weaker when the odds for Greek crisis resolution are higher. As a result, it makes more room for further CHF depreciation.
Out of the events from the calendar for today, it is worth noting the interview with SNB deputy chief for "Finanz und Wirtschaft". Fritz Zurbruegg claims that the franc is still "significantly overvalued" but the recent move is in good direction. The SNB also claims that the monetary policy should not be changed in the foreseeable future.
Zurbruegg also noted what we have written for months. According to the SNB member, the strong Swiss franc is not only a result of capital inflow to the CHF, but also due to the fact that Swiss companies invest less abroad. It is a result of weak world economy perspective. However, when this situation change then both the long and short term capital flow may change the direction. It may push the Swiss franc significantly lower but not earlier than in a few quarters.
No direct comments on the monetary policy
There was nothing surprising in Bloomberg interview with Stanley Fischer. The Fed's vice chair wasn't eager to comment the current monetary policy, so it was rather a non-event for the market.
We should also not expect any ground breaking comments from Dennis Lockhart, especially that he was quite clear in the "WSJ" interview. After fairly solid NFP he should not change his quite hawkish view on the September rate hike.
Goldman Sachs on the zloty
Goldman Sachs analysts cited by Bloomberg news agency expect some more volatility in the period before the parliamentary election. However, the "GS" comments do not look really surprising. In almost all EM economies and in many developed countries elections created some uncertainty. Many examples, however, show that the most important things happen after the election. The key is when the winning party can create a stable government.
Overall, the comments from Goldman should be regarded as rather positive. The most famous investment bank claims that the zloty should be supported by "strong" growth perspective, significantly narrowing current account deficit and positive short term rate difference. The "GS" claims that the first interest rate hike is expected in second half of 2016.

Twins' Gardenhire voted AL's top manager
Skipper wins honor for first time after five second-place finishes
By Kelly Thesier and Jason Beck / MLB.com
Gardenhire led the Twins to a 94-68 record and their sixth American League Central title in the past nine seasons since he took over as manager in 2002. With expectations raised as the Twins moved into their new outdoor ballpark, Target Field, and a payroll that reached near the $100 million mark for the first time in franchise history in '10, the skipper seemed to be presented with more challenges than he had seen in any previous season with the club.First came the loss of four-time All-Star closer Joe Nathan in Spring Training. Then came the slow offensive start to the season by catcher and reigning AL MVP Joe Mauer, who was plagued by some minor injuries throughout the first half. And then there was the concussion that All-Star first baseman Justin Morneau suffered on July 7 in a game in Toronto that kept him out for the rest of the season and the postseason. Yet no matter what problem seemed to arise, Gardenhire managed to keep his club focused on its goal -- winning another championship. "Losing your closer in early Spring Training doesn't help," Gardenhire said. "That's not a great way to start a season and then losing Morneau halfway through. We battled through it pretty good. It's about the same every year. You're going to have up and downs, and you're going to have some challenging moments.
|Ron Gardenhire, Twins

|Joe Maddon, Rays
|Terry Francona, Red Sox
|Cito Gaston, Blue Jays
|Joe Girardi, Yankees
"But as far as managing goes, it was about the same. We battled through some things, and you just have to find a way to get it done."Gardenhire remodeled his bullpen and patched together his lineup through various injuries throughout the year. He stuck by players who at times had struggled, such as Delmon Young and Jesse Crain, and watched them emerge as key contributors in 2010. He also helped with the emergence of rookie third baseman Danny Valencia, and Jim Thome credited the skipper with helping him to have a resurgent season by managing his playing time well. So perhaps it was only fitting that Gardenhire picked up career win No. 800 when the Twins clinched their division title on the night of Sept. 21. "He is an upbeat, popular manager with his players," said Twins general manager Bill Smith. "He's been everything we would ever hope for. ... When you lose a closer and you lose your MVP first baseman, it's not an easy thing and there is never a complaint. That's the thing that amazes me is there is never a complaint from him. He always says no one is going to feel sorry for us, we've got to go play the game. He gets his guys ready to play. This organization has been the beneficiary." Gardenhire was named the AL Manager of the Year by the Sporting News earlier this fall, an award that was voted on by his peers. "Ron did a great job," Washington told reporters on Wednesday. "They lost two big pieces, and he kept his team going. They played solid baseball, they really did." But his players have commended him as well. Thome, who has played under a number of managers throughout his 20-year big league career, said at the end of last season that he appreciated Gardenhire's managing style. "I think he's done a great job of handling his players, and I think to be a good manager, that's key," Thome said. "You have to know each personality, and he does that. I think he knows everybody from top to bottom, and he does a great job with the on-field stuff, too. ... I've had good ones, and he's right up there, definitely, at the top of the list. It's definitely been a pleasure to play for him, that's for sure." Gardenhire's previous five second-place finishes are the most by an AL manager, although four-time Manager of the Year Award winner Tony La Russa holds the record for most second-place finishes. Last year, La Russa was runner-up in the voting for NL Manager of the Year, marking his sixth time. But after so many times of finishing just short of the honored award, Gardenhire is now among the elite group of Manager of the Year winners. And after years of being a so-called bridesmaid in the voting for the honor, Gardenhire has now deservedly earned the spotlight all to himself. "It's exciting to have," Gardenhire said, "and I really need to thank the writers for this award and thinking about me. They've been very kind and very fair to me over the years. When you're named in this award, whether you finish second [or first], it's an honor. A lot of things go into it, like the team and the whole package, but for me, it's pretty neat. To have your name mentioned up there with the great managers, actually, that is pretty neat."

truthfully I am not sure when the issue happened because lately I have been doing everything via gamecube controller anyway.
The problem: my wiimote won't issue any commands to the wii. I try to click a button and it just blinks the blue lights twice and does nothing. Yes I tried fresh batteries and a different remote.
Background and situation: I softmodded my wii and had been using usbloader to play a couple gamecube games for a while. Then I read about nand emulation and decided I wanted to try out the NMM to ditch my old memory card. To make a virtual nand I found hackmii again and used it to make a new backup of my nand. Tinkered with the emulated version... Thanks to the hackmii my wii would boot to that screen and I could use my gamecube controller to "exit to" homebrew and did this for a week. Then I decided I wanted my wii to boot normally again so I deleted all the hackmii files from my SD card to go back to normal system menu and now discovered that I can't start anything because I can't get the wiimote to work so I could start homebrew or my usblauncher channel.
I need help doing 1 of 2 things, either figuring out how to get the wiimote to work again/what happened to it; or what to put back on SD card so I can use my wii again, maybe start up to the bootmi menu again?
P.S. I deleted the hackmi files from my SD card so I can;t just put them back, also deleted a bunch of stuff from there that I didn't need, so I can't just move it back, need to know what to put on SD card.
other info: in case it's helpful:
I believe I successfully completed the "softmod any wii" guide and as proof I have been playing both gamecube and wii games off the usbloader before this
I deleted the neogamma app from my SD card before (disuse) and primarily use usbloadergx
The virtual nand is stored on my usb stick, and yes I tried booting without it or the SD installed
no I can;t give a syscheck because that requires access to homebrew, can;t click "A" to start any channels
When making the virtual nand I did not change any wads installed to the real nand
guides I used: http://www.wiihacks.com/recommended-...d-any-wii.html

The present invention relates to a method for analyzing image information of a field, and, more particularly to a method of analyzing image pixel information of soil or crop parameters in a field.
Current approaches to characterize agricultural field variability involve two basic processes. First is the creation of layers that describe variability of soil or crop parameters and then secondly to divide this characterized layer into classes. For example, aerial images can be used characterize parameters describing crop or soil variability. This is in addition to in-field sensors, crop color sensors, soil EM readings or other methods. Current methods for characterizing aerial images involve converting the original multi-spectral data to vegetation indices such as Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). This NDVI layer is then divided into classes using an approach such as an equal area or equal increment approach. When divided using equal area, all fields have an equivalent distribution of high and low zones, independent of the level of actual variability, sometimes resulting in prescriptions that may be poorly related to actual crop conditions. When divided on the basis of equal increments (e.g. 31-40, 41-50 . . . ), some classes have little or no representation in some fields. In both cases, it is difficult to compare fields based upon the resultant classification. This problem is exacerbated when images, or other data, are acquired by sensors that may provide different outputs for the same crop situation depending upon conditions such as sensor settings, light level, angles of the images relative to the crops, direction of the planted rows, or differences in crop architecture, such as upright or droopy leaves.
It is known that the normalization of an image layer or sensor values yields a somewhat more consistent relationship to parameters of interest, such as yield and Soil and Plant Analysis Development (SPAD) chlorophyll. A normalized SPAD, based upon the mean pixel value from a high nitrogen reference strip, is a better indicator of nitrogen stress, or yield, than SPAD values alone. The use of relative SPAD and relative yield, based upon the highest or highest mean yield of the field, allows a more consistent relationship when more than one field is used in the analysis. Similar results have been shown for images or sensor results in addition to SPAD values. One of the problems in the prior art is the use of high nitrogen reference strips in that SPAD/pixel/sensor readings often show considerable variability within and between high nitrogen reference strips within the whole field. This makes it difficult to select a value to be used for normalization. A further problem with this approach is that growers are not eager to create high nitrogen reference strips.
What is needed in the art is the ability to select a target or best representative pixel value without the need to establish a high nitrogen reference strip.
The present invention provides a method for normalizing images or other data layers and for identification of low vegetation zones and weedy patches.
The invention in one form is directed to a method of processing vegetation data including the steps of identifying data relating to an agricultural field, segregating areas of predetermined development patterns and prescribing application rates of an agricultural compound. The identifying step includes identifying data relating to an agricultural field representative of areas of predetermined development patterns of vegetation in the field. The segregating step includes segregating the areas of the predetermined development patterns thereby defining segregated areas, other areas in the field being non-segregated areas. The prescribing step including prescribing application rates of an agricultural compound to the non-segregated areas dependent on at least one attribute determined from the data.
Referring now to the drawings, and, more particularly to
Often decisions are based upon the assumption that the level of input from an image can be directly related to the extent of crop canopy/canopy color. The term canopy is also used herein to indicate the extent of vegetation. These attributes may indicate more nitrogen is present and that reduced canopy areas may require additional nitrogen. This relationship often results in the incorrect application of compounds, such as nitrogen to areas of the field that have little canopy or that have excessive canopy. Excessive canopy can occur when the crop is double planted or there is simply a weedy patch. To eliminate this incorrect application a graphical user interface is utilized where the layer describing the vegetation status, such as NDVI is overlaid with a color infrared (CIR) layer. This provides for a more visually interpretable indication of canopy differences. The tool allows a user to progressively remove pixels from lower vegetation areas, such as an area 60, causing area 60 to be segregated, at step 14. Pixels can also be segregated or removed from higher vegetation areas that correspond to weedy areas 58 or double planted areas 56. Segregation step 14 allows for the designation of these extreme type areas to be identified and segregated for special consideration. This allows for a particular application rate to be selectively designated at step 16 for the extreme pixel areas that are segregated.
The remaining areas 52 and 54 of the field, the non-segregated portions, receive prescriptions that are directly related to the extent of crop canopy/color, such as NDVI. The progressive removal of pixels at step 14 is monitored by the user using the overlying CIR layer, an RGB layer or other layer that may satisfy the objective, while incrementally selecting higher and/or lower pixels based upon the values of the underlying layer, such as NDVI. The CIR layer not only provides the more easily interpretable layer, but also provides a spatial context to select pixels meeting certain criteria. For example, high density pixels with consistent patterns near field borders may be attributed to double planted areas 56, while weedy patches 58 often have a geometrical pattern or spatial distribution that is easily distinguished. Neither of these could be confidently selected based upon an NDVI value alone. The process can be used independently of a normalization process or can be used prior to, or following, the normalization process.
After certain areas have been segregated in step 16 the pixels in the non-segregated areas 52 and 54 are reviewed and are then related to a selected best area in the field, at step 18. This is a normalization process that removes variability due to differences in the camera, sensor, instrument calibration, light availability and other factors that can cause variability in the pixel data relating to the crop. It also removes variability due to crop architecture, such as droopy or upright leaves, or the stage of growth of the crop. For example, in the case of nitrogen stress there is an assumption that some portion of the field has sufficient nitrogen, and the remainder of the field is related to this best area, also known as the best pixel value or best pixel data. This best pixel value is considered to be a 100% value, which may be below the threshold value that defines a segregated area containing excessive vegetation. Also, the best pixel value can be based upon a statistical derivative of the non-segregated area, such as a 90th percentile value. Following the normalization process at step 18 it then becomes possible to compare fields with each other based upon the magnitude and extent of stressed areas within each field.
Fields can then be prioritized based upon the distribution of stressed areas. The application of agricultural compounds can then be applied to the fields based upon the prioritization assigned to each field or areas of the fields. Field ranking is utilized to provide for optimal use and timing of needed applications of agricultural compounds.
The foregoing includes a user selection of all pixels that are not representative of the crop, such as double planted areas 56, weedy areas 58, etc., that gives rise to a non-segregated normalized layer. The pixels that are in the excessive vegetation segregated area typically have values greater than the best value pixel in the non-segregated normal areas. The highest pixel value in the non-segregated area is identified at step 18 and that pixel value is then used as the denominator for application to all pixels in the non-segregated area, and the conversion to a percentage by multiplying by 100. This results in a layer where all representative pixels are related to the best pixel value selected from the non-segregated areas of the field. This is expressed by the equation: Normalized Value=Current Pixel Value/Best Pixel Value�100. Based upon the normalized values assigned to each pixel, application rates are prescribed for the non-segregated areas based on the relative pixel values determined at step 20. The agricultural input or compound, such as a nitrogen fertilizer, is then selectively applied at step 22 based upon the assigned application rate that is dependent upon the normalized pixel values described above. The application device is geo-located and applies the prescribed application rates to areas in the field that correspond to the pixel locations. The application rates, which are assigned at step 16 to the segregated areas, may include the non-application of nitrogen or other inputs to such areas as drowned out areas or areas having excessive canopy. Additionally, a selective weed control compound may be utilized in certain segregated areas that are identified as weedy patches.
Now, additionally referring to
The normalization process is described at step 106 in which the non-masked areas are related to a selected area having the best pixel value as described in method 10. At step 108 application rates are prescribed to the non-masked areas at step 108. The agricultural compound is selectively applied at step 110 to the field area. The combination of method 100 and method 10 can be utilized to mask selected areas prior to the segregation described in method 10.
The normalization process of the present invention allows for the contrasting of fields with one another thereby allowing the identification of fields with varying degrees of stress. For example, a field A can have twenty percent of the area of field A being below 85% of the best pixel value, while field B may have only two percent of the field area below 85% of the best pixel value, thereby indicating that field A has a higher level of stress. This analysis then allows a decision maker to identify fields with problems, the extent of the observed problems and to make informed decisions about which fields warrant treatment or warrant priority treatment before other fields. This also allows for the utilization of risk assessment to identify fields that aren't developing according to predefined criteria.
It should be understood that the description utilizing the CIR and NDVI layers is only one example, and other image or vegetation index layers can be used instead of, or in addition to, the CIR and NDVI layers for particular applications. For example, other indices that are more closely related to leaf area index (LAI) or canopy differences can be used instead of NDVI. It is also possible to use different attributes such as the selection of the best chlorophyll pixel and the best canopy density pixel for the same field and to use the combination of these two normalization layers that result, to enable differentiation of areas impacted by such things, as moisture stress, from those areas impacted by nitrogen stress.
Having described the preferred embodiment, it will become apparent that various modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the invention as defined in the accompanying claims.

IT'S a pay packet many actors would give their right arm for but Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's daughter has snagged a lucrative movie deal - at the age of four.
Vivienne Jolie-Pitt appears in her first film alongside her mother in the upcoming 2014 Disney flick, Maleficent.
According to US website TMZ, the tot's minor's contract filed with the court lists that she earned a hefty $US3,000 a week, with a daily allowance of $60.
Vivienne - who's twin brother is Knox - plays the role of young Princess Aurora in the highly anticipated movie.
Jolie, who plays the title role, confirmed the appointment of Vivienne in her movie last year.
"It's a really great script, and I'm having a lot of fun. I've already got my horns fitted. My kids are very happy," she smiled.
It was previously reported that Ange and Brad's daughter Shiloh snubbed a role in the fantasy-thriller, paving the way for siblings Pax and Zahara to appear.
"They have smaller parts. Shiloh was supposed to be in it, too, but she was bored and not in the mood during the day her part was supposed to happen, so she ended up not being in the film," a source told US Weekly.
Maleficent is a re-imagining of the classic Sleeping Beauty fairy tale told from the villain's perspective and is slated for release in 2014.
Meanwhile, Ange made her return to the red carpet on Sunday evening at the 2013 American Society of Cinematographers Awards.
While the BAFTAs and Grammy Awards were being held in London and Los Angeles respectively, the brunette beauty made a low-key return to the spotlight at the Grand Ballroom at Hollywood & Highland Centre in Los Angeles.
The 37-year-old star failed to make an impression with her red carpet attire though, opting for a drab grey dress which fell just above her knee.

By now you have likely heard that our long national nightmare is nearing its end.
NFL owners and players, perhaps inspired by their preschool age children and grandchildren, have figured out that sharing things can be fun for everybody.
All information leaking out from both sides indicates that a deal will come sooner rather than later, returning football to the masses yearning to be entertained.
While we wait to see just how the i's are dotted in the final agreement, we are also starting to think about how our two local teams will greet the resumption of league activities. The answer we've settled on is that no one in the personnel department of the Giants and Jets will be sleeping for about a week after everything is signed and notarized.
The word right now is that there will be a 72-hour window after the end of the lockout during which teams will be able to re-sign their own free agents before the marketplace opens up to further movement. For the Giants and Jets, those 72 hours could be essential to pointing their teams to success in 2011.
The Giants have four key players on the cusp of free agency in Kevin Boss, Ahmad Bradshaw, Barry Cofield and Steve Smith. The Jets have a bunch of their stalwarts in play thanks to the pending free agency of Antonio Cromartie, Braylon Edwards, Shaun Ellis, Santonio Holmes and Brad Smith.
Re-signing some of those guys before they hit the open market seems impossible. Bradshaw, Cofield, Cromartie and Holmes have waited months for their chance to peddle their services to bidders, so why wouldn't they wait 72 more hours to find out how much people are willing to pay?
The Redskins have been linked to both Cofield and Holmes, a scary prospect given how little regard Daniel Snyder has shown for paying people salaries commensurate with their abilities. Bradshaw's name has been brought up in conjunction with the Dolphins, a team with a serious need at running back and a serious need to make the playoffs if the powers that be want to keep their jobs.
Unless the Giants and Jets open up their checkbooks to obscene levels right away, they will run a serious risk of watching those key contributors walk away to other teams. When you factor in how little time teams will have to integrate new players without a full offseason and how much chaos will be in play when free agency gets underway, coming up with suitable replacements is hardly a sure thing.
The good news is that the hypercondensed offseason means players like Ellis and Smith will likely be looking to return to their old stomping grounds. Smith is coming off a serious injury and knows that the Giants will use him the right way, so why wouldn't he want to come back, even on a one year deal, to prove he can still get it done?
Ellis is closing in on the end of his career, which would seem to make the idea of stability an appealing one over the unknowns that await on the other side of the lockout. The Jets might look to spend his money elsewhere, but why try to teach a new dog your tricks when the best defensive lineman on last year's team is sitting right there?
We ask those questions rhetorically, but they both might wind up being real ones that come with surprising answers. Predicting with much confidence what those answers might be is probably a waste of time given how little framework we have to use in figuring out how this unusual period in football is going to play out.
We've gone without football for a long time. We're going to have more of it than we can handle soon enough.

Starting load is equal to max load?
I've noticed quite a few entries in the Lee manual where the starting load and max load are the same. As an example, with a .380 ACP 95 gr FMJ bullet, the entries for W231 and Unique both have starting loads that are the same as the max loads.
Does this really mean that I shouldn't go beyond the starting load, or does it just mean that the authors simply duplicated a "known safe" load without working it up themselves?
In the case of the W231 recipe, the resulting speed is 200 fps slower than some of the other powders listed for that bullet, with 6000 PSI lower pressure. That would lead me to believe that the "max" load isn't really the max, but I also know that increases in chamber pressure aren't always linear beyond a certain point.

Hidden Valley from Buena Vista Trail is a 4.3 mile moderately trafficked loop trail located near Phoenix, Arizona that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, trail running, and mountain biking and is best used from September until June. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

This is a nice easy hike not very long but a lot of great views all they there and back. You Start at the top of Buena Vista Outlook. You have great views of Phoenix and Tempe.
This was my first hike ever; a friend of mine wanted to introduce me to Fatman's Pass, which is about 2 miles (1.8 to be exact) into the hike. It was a beautiful mountain filled with breathtaking scenery, voluptuous rock formations, and we even ran into some wildlife along the way (Rattlesnakes, Quail, and Chuckwalla Lizards). The trail is well marked and moderately trafficked, especially on weekends. 10/10 would recommend. Just make sure you goto the bathroom at Dobbin's lookout before you get there, because there isn't a bathroom.
I didn't take this exact route, but the area was gorgeous. The views and rocks that I had to scramble down really got my blood pumping.
Carol Wedin
It was a great hike...we had done it at least 6 years ago or more but forgotten how beautiful it was. Nice to do on a cool day since it is pretty much in the open. Love Fatman's Pass and Hidden Valley and all the beautiful huge boulders along the way.
Desteisy L.
Great variation of scenery, with spectacular views of the valley.
First, if this is your first time like it was for me, go slowly on the road to the trail head because there are lots of cyclists and joggers. You start on National Trail. About .3 miles in there was a marker on the ground at a crossroads but I kept going straight and that was the right choice. It wasn't busy (maybe because it's a weekday) and I went early enough that it wasn't hot. Nice view and scenery.

Bring back the ancient boats with oars (like in Ben Hur). Instead of putting slaves, they put health conscious people and tree hugger! For example, a 14,000 ton ship, yank out the diesel engines then replace them with oars or pedal powered propulsion with 1500 people pedaling it should produce enough power )

@tolate Good idea about the scaling, getting the scaling right is a little tricky. Dont forget Schaefft's Crown Vic as well.
@FlashG DOH! I must have concussion while posting it
I added a hubcap less steel rims and unwrapped most of the interior. Later the engine and undercarriage. After that, I can detatch the model. (UV unwrap with detached model is a bitch) The polycount now 67k on cop car . I have to add a bit more poly on certain areas so they can deform properly on GTA4.

@schaefft The seats comes with normal maps, but I just too lazy to make a render. My use of normal maps are limited to some undercarriage, dahsboard, speaker grills and seats.
@Lubas Yes it will come with police version (I posted a NYPD version) I havent model the MX700 lightbar

You are using the original style lightbar to NYPD or a different one ?
I searched MX700 and it came up w/ diff ones, but that is based apparently on locale..
I'm hoping someone will release a sleek LED blue one, maybe some white alternating in middle, yellow hazard ones on the back .. hmm well
New ones here are like this guy has (his vid gets easier to look @ on :50 )

Say, are you willing to allow (w/ permission & proper credits) some of the guys like Lt Caine to add diff light bars if you dont feel like it or make it ELS compatible so it can have strobe lights ?
ALSO so he/we can add our own decals/color scheme, like for our city/state police ?
There has to be some kind of special template for that, I dunno how you do it but when he has released his own mods he has included this template thing that is like a wire sketch of all sides of the body of the vehicle and then you just paint/draw on it as you like ..

Thanks for sugggestion, but actually it already have one (baked with final gathering) the shadow under the seat is obscured by the lower seat. It is not as dark as the one on your example. Indeed it does need a little tweak and the baking didnt really executed perfectly. I took a little break from caprice and working on (sigh) another car. I got sick of UV tweaking.
working on interior really sucks, unless you got enough reference photos (at least 50 multi angle shots)

Residents question erosion control measures at Snow Bowl
Camden — Several residents July 8 questioned use of a turbidity curtain in Hosmer Pond to stop silt from Ragged Mountain, as well as other erosion control measures.
The residents, many of them property owners near Hosmer Pond, spoke during the select board meeting following a presentation by Snow Bowl General Manager Landon Fake. Fake showed photos of erosion controls and explained what steps had been taken since a June 13 rainstorm. That storm -- and two others in subsequent weeks -- washed soil from Ragged Mountain into Hosmer Pond and Brook, leading to a site visit June 30 from the Maine Department of Environmental Protection.The soil was disturbed by logging operations taking place as part of the redevelopment of the town-owned ski and recreation area.
Fake said logging on the mountain is complete, with the exception of less than a total of 2 acres still needed for trail-building and a corridor for electricity. Areas of selective logging planned to be completed this year will be put off, he said. To date, the town has installed a turbidity curtain to capture sediment washing into the pond from Hosmer Brook and installed 600 bales of hay across 7 acres of disturbed land. Fake admitted some of the measures were less than successful, but he said contamination to the pond has been greatly reduced.
"We were probably not the major contributor of silt this time," he said, referring to recent additional runoff into the pond caused by Hurricane Arthur. He assured residents it is safe to swim in the pond, as the most recent test July 2 showed bacterial levels well under the state limit.
Also in attendance July 8 was Tom Wells of Royal Trail Works, based in Vermont, who has been hired to build ski trails. He spoke of his plans regarding erosion controls and said appearance in the summer is almost equally important.
"Aim for a golf course even though it's a ski area," he said.
Wells complimented Snow Bowl staff for the efforts made to control erosion since he was in Camden a week prior, and said while he was not defending the loggers, it was a difficult job.
"It's a shame what happened," Wells said, adding he has seen similar -- and worse -- situations before. "We pride ourselves on erosion control; that will not happen."
Town Manager Patricia Finnigan noted Wells had already spoken with DEP representatives, who were happy with his planned approach.
"We're on the same team, no doubt," Wells said of the state agency.
Resident Dana Strout questioned how Wells planned to removed the remaining 2 acres of trees; Wells said he has different types of equipment and does not plan to haul whole trees down the mountainside.
"I wish they had finished the project, I'm not a logger," Wells said.
Lee Sligh -- a vocal critic of the project and a certified erosion control contractor -- said she has been disappointed by the "false assurances" she's heard from town officials regarding ongoing erosion controls. She was most disappointed, she said, by the turbidity curtain. She said DEP guidelines state the curtain should extend shore to shore and fully contain any sediment. Town officials describe the existing 50-foot turbidity curtain as "working somewhat."
"This is the type of problem in credibility I'm talking about," Sligh said.
She said hay bales in place are not properly secured with stakes as well.
"I keep hearing everything is OK now and it's not OK," she said.
Finnigan noted the turbidity curtain was an extra measure not required or requested by the DEP. A New Hampshire supplier sent a salesperson to the Snow Bowl with the fence and an offer to oversee its installation, Finnigan said, adding that additional lengths have been ordered and should arrive this week.
"We are not done, it's still a work in progress," she said. "It's an ongoing responsibility we have."
Resident Dorie Klein said she had many questions for town officials but asked only a few, including if the town plans to continue to follow a forestry plan used by the logging company, which also suggested the town join the Forest Stewardship Council. Klein expressed concern about the town's being required to follow FSC guidelines for wood harvests.
"Ask yourselves, is the Snow Bowl primarily for recreation or harvesting forestry products?" she said.
Wells noted he is in the process of developing his plan -- his first day of work in Camden was July 8 -- so he could not speak to her question. Finnigan noted the remaining tree work is considered part of the redevelopment process, rather than part of the forestry management plan.
Another resident questioned how town and Snow Bowl officials chose the logger and why so much damage was allowed to happen.
"We clearly hired people who knew what they were doing," Finnigan said, speaking of heavy spring rains that did not cause any problems.
"What are you looking for? Are you looking to blame somebody?" Select Board Chairman Martin Cates asked when several residents offered comments without approaching the microphone.
Strout returned to the podium to speak to the issue of a construction manager. The town is in the process of interviewing for the position.
"Pat's got a town to run, she's not a professional construction manager," Strout said. " ... Somebody needed to be out there all the time to coordinate these things. ... What we did is give it an open invitation [to go wrong]."
Here's a good article about the DEP's follow-up visit on Thursday:
The long-term effects of the major sediment dumps into Hosmer Pond remain to be seen. Read the following short article on the effects of sediment on fish:
I personally have found two 6" dead fish with gills covered with tiny lacerations (without searching for them - they just washed up by my float). Dead fish were not a common occurrence on Hosmer Pond before the sediment dumps, and I gather that gill lacerations of this sort are not usual.
The town could help keep tabs on what is happening by asking the public to keep an eye out for dead fish or other unusual events and providing a contact person with information about how to report them. Many people who use pond water in their seasonal cabins have found their pumps clogged with sediment.
The erosion problems continue to be a sore point, with the town doing a lot of finger pointing and offering more assurances that everything is fine now. The erosion control measures are certainly improving, but I have not been able to get clear answers about specific BMP plans, timing and oversight. A big question also remains about whose responsibility it was to design, implement and oversee erosion control during the tree removal phase.
Many voices have asked for a dedicated project manager going forward (someone with DEP erosion control certification who is experienced in construction oversight), but the town is lending a deaf ear to this so far. It seems like a pretty complex project to me, and I don't understand why they would resist this suggestion given the catastrophic (and completely foreseeable) failure of erosion control on the mountain for weeks in June.

Area Weather: Be prepared as severe weather season approaches
We are about three weeks ahead of schedule for our weather this year.
Area farmers are loving it as they should be able to get into the fields to plant their crops early this year. Temperaturewise we are averaging about 13 degrees warmer than normal for the month.
Despite the nice weather, April can be an active weather month. In Minnesota, on average, we receive about three inches of snow during the month of April.
April can also be an active month for thunderstorms, and tornadoes have been known to hit this month. In fact, tornadoes are not uncommon even in March in Minnesota. In 2005 and in 1998 the first tornadoes of the season in the state were reported during March. These were reported in southern Minnesota down in Mower and in Nobles counties. Our most recent tornado during the month of April was reported in Nobles County in 2004. Most of the first tornadoes of the season take place, however, in May.
By the way, Severe Weather Awareness Week this year is April 19-23. Of course, this is a time to get ready for the upcoming severe weather season. We will have some tips as always to keep you and your family safe in this very column in the coming weeks and on KSAX-TV at 5 p.m., 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. Have a great weekend and enjoy the mild temperatures!
In 1931, during the Great Depression, severe dust storms were reported in St. Paul.
Thunderstorms can generate gusts of wind that can help develop additional thunderstorms 100 miles away!

Hello friends,
Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Higher Education issues government scholarships to thousands of Saudi students each year to attend domestic and foreign universities. Saudi universities also offer scholarships to foreign students primarily from Pakistan and India. Saudi King Abdullah implemented the King Abdullah Scholarship Program in late 2004 to increase the number of Saudis, especially women, attending Western universities. The government also issues scholarships for Saudi students to attend English language schools to prepare for university studies.

Hizbullah publishing executive declares bankruptcy
According to Lebanese media sources, Lebanese businessman and Hizbullah publishing executive Hajj Salah Ezzedine has declared bankruptcy. Ezzedine, from the town of Maaroub near the southern port city of Tyre, is the director of the Hizbullah-owned Dar Al-Hadi Publishing House, named in honor of Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah's son Hadi, who was killed by Israeli soldiers in a gun battle in 1997.
Dar Al-Hadi has played a critical role in Hizbullah's media campaign. In this capacity it has functioned as the organization's primary publishing source printing anti-Israeli and "resistance books" that include publications by HHizbullah's second in command Sheikh Naim Qassem.
For this role, Dar Al-Hadi's headquarters, located between Haret Hreik and Bir Al-Abed, two neighborhoods in the southern suburbs of Beirut, were targeted and nearly destroyed by the Israeli military during its 2006 military campaign against Hezbollah. Analysts described the operation as an Israeli attempt to ideologically weaken the group.
According to Lebanese daily As-Safir, Ezzedine's bankruptcy—amounting to an estimated $1.195 billion loss—has affected thousands of Lebanese investors in the southern suburbs of Beirut and the Bekaa Valley, areas notable for positive Hizbullah sentiments. Ezzedine has since been transferred to judiciary authorities who will decide whether the bankruptcy is technical or fraudulent.

STANFORD, Calif. — Mike Leach had no harsh words for his team's effort or performance this time. The first-year Washington State coach only praised his opponent and hoped his players could learn to finish.
The way this season has unfolded for the Cougars, that's called progress.
Jeff Tuel threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown and was sacked 10 times in Washington State's 24-17 loss at No. 19 Stanford on Saturday.
"We played well, we played hard, we played a complete game. Stanford played with a little more maturity than we did," Leach said. "They had the sense and expectation of when to go for the kill."
Ed Reynolds stepped in front of Tuel's pass for the safety's fourth interception — and second returned for a score — this season early in the fourth quarter to bail out the Cardinal offense again. He ran 25 yards untouched into the end zone to give Stanford (6-2, 4-1 Pac-12) a two-touchdown lead, highlighting another swarming defensive effort that held the Cougars to minus-16 yards rushing and forced Leach's aerial offense to throw 60 times.
The Cougars still had a strong showing considering what they've done this season.
At one point this year, Leach likened his seniors to an "empty corpse." He saw an improved attitude in a 31-17 home loss to California two weeks ago, saying "We weren't very corpse-like on the sideline."
Washington State (2-6, 0-5), which has lost five straight and is the only winless team in Pac-12 play, allowed season lows with 256 yards of total offense and 136 yards passing against Stanford.
"It was still kind of sorrow because it was a tough loss," said Washington State's Dominique Williams, who caught nine passes for 100 yards. "But at the same time, look at where we're at and what we have to live up to."
Stanford's Josh Nunes completed 7 of 15 passes for 136 yards and a touchdown and Ryan Hewitt ran for a short score. A week after running for a career-high 189 yards against rival California, Stepfan Taylor was held to 58 yards on 21 carries.
Washington State had 25 first downs to only 12 for Stanford, which converted 5 of 12 third downs and only put together one complete drive all game. Stanford coach David Shaw also spelled Nunes with backup Kevin Hogan on five consecutive plays — part of a "designed package," he said, for the mostly read-option quarterback — between the third and fourth quarters.
"The defense did a lot of great things all night getting after the quarterback," said Nunes, a redshirt junior charged with the difficult task of replacing No. 1 overall pick Andrew Luck this season. "We have to give these guys a break every now and then."
Tuel led a 12-play, 75-yard drive capped by a 10-yard touchdown pass to Kristoff Williams with 6:29 to play to get Washington State within a touchdown. Stanford managed two first downs before punting the ball back and giving the Cougars another chance.
Marquess Wilson made a leaping 42-yard catch to move Washington State to the Stanford 23. And on fourth-and-21, Bobby Ratliffe caught a 25-yard pass from Tuel at the 9.
Then Usua Amanam pressured Tuel into a 15-yard intentional grounding penalty and an automatic 10-second runoff. With Washington State looking for one final heave to the end zone, Henry Anderson planted Tuel into the ground as time expired.
"There was some miscommunication between me and Marquess," said Tuel, who threw for 401 yards and two touchdowns, completing 43 of 60 passes on mostly short outs that Stanford allowed. "But bottom line: I can't take a sack in that situation."
Both teams had few offensive highlights in this one.
Tuel hit Dominique Williams for a 43-yard completion, then went to him again when he floated a 3-yard TD pass to the corner of the end zone that put the Cougars ahead 7-3 midway through the second quarter.
The rare lead for Washington State this season didn't last long.
Just 47 seconds later, Nunes found Jamal-Rashad Patterson on a broken play with the cornerback blitzing and no safety help over the top. Patterson caught the short pass and sprinted down the sideline for a 70-yard touchdown that put Stanford back in front 10-7 on its longest play of the season.
Stanford took advantage of a pass interference call on Anthony Carpenter that extended the opening drive of the third quarter. Hewitt bulldozed through the line for a 1-yard TD run — the fullback's first of the season — on third down before Reynolds intercepted Tuel's pass to put Stanford ahead 24-10 with 10:43 remaining.

this was the 1st time i have booked a holiday on line and was a little apprehensive about everything working out.
but as 1st the parking went to plan my mind eased and i stated to look forward to my holiday
everything subsequently went to plan until the night before we were due to fly back to England
we went out as usual on that day and had a great day but on our return we could not access our room we went to the hotel reception only to find that we were not booked in for that night and we would have to pay for the room whatever the event
we paid, but in the event we were panic stricken thinking we had got it wrong and that we had missed our flights back and we were late returning the car etc etc
on arrival back at the room we discovered that we had got our return date correct but TravelRepublic had booked the hotel one night short
apart from this everything went to plan and they do cover themselves by saying check all paperwork to make sure all is correct
at the end of the day it only cost us about £20 more than if booked in the 1st place

Friday evening i made a meal using a teflon coated frying pan, i put all the contents meat/sauce of the pan onto my noodles.
That night my armpit glands swelled up and i starting shaking pretty badly but i managed to get a couple of hours sleep, i also felt like crap the next day but thankfully the shaking stopped, today i feel ok apart from a small amount of discomfort in my armpits.
Saturday when doing the washing up as i washed the frying pan the teflon layer just easily came off in a patch 2" x 1" and also in little areas around the pan.
I become ill a few hours after eating the meal made in this pan do you think i eat some of the teflon and became ill?

Jason Buzi, the 43-year-old Californian property developer who started the worldwide treasure hunt HiddenCash, hid three jars filled with £20 notes around the country earlier this month.
Teacher Steph Williams and her husband, from Newport, Wales, found the first. They cracked the clue tweeted from the HiddenCash Twitter account "Shy Potassium" to claim their £1,000 at Coy Cae woods near Hay on Wye, deducing that shy=coy and potassium=k or cae.
@HiddenCash Williams family couldn't be happier. We love random acts of kindness. Paid some forward to fellow hunters pic.twitter.com/6XO9rzTGtW— Mrs. Williams (@steph_smw)
July 17, 2014
They gave some of the money away to fellow hunters and donated some to charity.
The second was found by teenager hunters in nearby Mousecastle woods after they deciphered the clue "small rodent in a large house". They decided to re-hide some of their winnings for others to find.
UK: Mousecastle woods one has been found. Clues on two others coming. They're not far. pic.twitter.com/lO2hiXlsbt— Hidden Cash (@HiddenCash)

However, the last still remains to be found. Hunters have been told it is on the Welsh border and all are in the "same general area". Here is a clue to help you:

The treasure is here pic.twitter.com/Ppyc2DYT0r— Hidden Cash (@HiddenCash)
July 16, 2014
Mr Buzi said the new elaborate treasure hunt was inspired by British artist Kit Williams, who in 1979 buried a hare crafted from 18-carat gold and jewels in a Bedfordshire hillside.
Over the following three years Williams became the focus of an international craze, as hunters followed clues hidden in his children's book Masquerade to uncover it.
He has so far given away tens of thousands of pounds on hunts across the world. What started as small giveaways in San Francisco soon expanded to Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and Houston. London was the first of his European "drops", where hunters found £1,500 in Kensington park last month.
