The software platform visualizes the capacity of each trash bin in traffic light system: green color means that the waste container has still plenty of space, and red color gives a signal to the operation manager that collection is required. The ultrasonic sensors detect any type of waste and transmit the collected data through wireless mobile networks to a smart waste management platform, which helps the operation managers to understand the optimal times for waste collections and even recommends the optimal collection routes. To solve these problems, the city installed IoT based sensor devices to hundreds of waste containers around the city, enabling the city’s waste collection staff to monitor the fill-level of each trash bin remotely. The South Korean capital had problems with high generation of waste, overflowing trash bins and littering, all of which led to frequent complaints from residents. In Seoul, one of the key areas where innovative technologies have been utilized to tackle the global climate change is waste management. Flagship cases where major achievements towards becoming smart cities have already been taken include Barcelona, Singapore, Stockholm, and Seoul. ![]() Some of the requirements include energy-saving and efficient street and traffic lighting, water and wastewater management, and the reduction of CO2 emissions from motor vehicles. These facts make the development of sustainable solutions for urban cities a requirement and place various demands on future cities. While the world’s cities only cover 2% of the global land area, they account for a staggering 70% of greenhouse-gas emissions and share the burden of responsibility for global climate change. Over 50% of the world’s population now lives in cities, and the figure is set to rise to 75% by 2050. ![]()

The player also supports file transfers via Bluetooth. Some of the features on this device include Bluetooth stereo headphone compatibility with support for multiple sets of headphones and also sports Bluetooth phone connectivity with the ability to use your stereo headphones with your cellphone and speak through the built-in microphone on the player itself. Available capacities are 2, 4, 8 and 16 GB. The Samsung YP-P2 comes in white, red, and black. P2 has a touchscreen, Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, an FM radio, an E-Book reader and video playback capabilities (MP4 and WMV formats). The YP-R2 released in 2011 is the successor to the YP-R1 but the YP-R1 is not the successor to the YP-R0, which makes Samsung's naming scheme difficult to understand. The R series was introduced in 2009 with the YP-R0 and the YP-R1. Some Samsung MP3 players, including YH-820/920/925, YP-R0, YP-R1, and YP-Z5 are partly or fully supported by Rockbox. On some models, an R indicates RDS support (for example: YP-F2R) or an F indicates an FM tuner (example: YP-Z5F) however, some models with the feature do not have the suffix. For example, YP-P2JEB, where J stands for Janus (MTP models, no letter if UMS), E stands for 16GB (V:256MB X:512MB Z:1GB Q:2GB A:4GB C:8GB E:16GB N:32GB) and B stands for Black (W:White P:Pink S:Silver etc.). The naming scheme of Samsung players has always been the same. Even though Samsung never announced officially they would stop producing MP3 players, it appears they actually did. Īs of December 2016, Samsung discontinued their MP3 players and Android-based Galaxy Players lines worldwide. Samsung shut down all official MP3 players dedicated websites and blogs in Korea and worldwide. Samsung released the successor to the YP-GI1, the YP-GI2 (Galaxy 070) only in Korea in August 2013. The Galaxy Players series has also been discontinued in most countries. Only the YP-W1 and YP-U7 are still available in some countries. Even though it has disappeared for 10 years in Europe and America, it is still common among the users to refer to the Samsung MP3 players as "Yepp".Īs of November 2013, Samsung discontinued their MP3 players line in most countries. Samsung finally dropped the Yepp brand in Korea too since 2011. From then Samsung only kept this brand for the Korean market while the players sold in the rest of the world were simply branded "Samsung". Samsung MP3 players were branded "Yepp" worldwide until 2003. The Yepp brand was first introduced at CES 1999 in Las Vegas where the first Samsung mp3 players have been unveiled (YP-E, YP-B and YP-D series). The name is claimed to be an acronym for "young, energetic, passionate person". The brand included a wide range of hard-drive based as well as flash-memory based players. From then on, their MP3 players were simply branded "Samsung" worldwide until they discontinued all of them in late 2013. Yepp was Samsung Electronics' digital audio player brand until Samsung decided to retire most of their family brands in February 2011. ![]() ![]() Pro-Kremlin commentators were also quick to “reassure” Belarusians that they, together with Ukrainians and Russians, were one nation, disturbed only by “ duped” kids who grew up on the liberal ideology of Russophobia and claimed that only 10% of Belarusians were opposed to a Union State with Russia. The EU, which stated that the elections in Belarus were neither free nor fair and repeatedly called on Belarusian authorities to stop the unacceptable violence against protesters, was accused of double standards. Russian state-run news agency RIA Novosti chimed in, saying that the enemies of Lukashenka, namely Poland, wanted a bloody Maidan in Minsk (the article has since been viewed almost 100,000 times). Once the pro-Kremlin media settled on the delicate matter of the detention of Wagner mercenaries, the floodgates of pro-Kremlin disinformation opened wide: the protests in Belarus were a colour revolution and the evil West was behind it. ![]() “The detention of Russians in Belarus was a Ukrainian provocation”, multiple pro-Kremlin media outlets claimed, following questionable reporting by the Russian tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda, which was swiftly debunked by independent Russian media.* This did not deter pro-Kremlin sources, which continued to blame Ukrainians and claim that Ukrainian secret services were controlled by the West and/or the CIA and were planning terror attacks in Belarus. However, soon enough pro-Kremlin media found a way around this thorny issue by focusing on a more convenient culprit: Ukraine. Commentators on Russian state-controlled TV carefully mused about a “ misunderstanding” and spoke about “ Belarusian radicals” allegedly trained in clandestine camps – ironically, only later to complain that this particular segment of disinformation was censored from Belarusian airwaves. The move presented a conundrum for pro-Kremlin media, which has supported the regime for years. ![]() A few weeks ahead of the election, Belarusian state media announced that 33 Russian citizens, allegedly members of the Wagner group, were detained on suspicions of having traveled to Belarus to “destabilise the situation during the election campaign.” However, even with this loyal network of websites and wide access to TV audiences, pro-Kremlin disinformers stumbled on Belarusian complexities. The network accused various European countries of trying to crush Belarusian statehood and claimed that Polish Catholics were seeking to incite riots in Belarus. It attacked Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, Maria Kalesnikava, and Veranika Tsepkala who dared to challenge Lukashenko, claiming that they were tools of European feminists seeking to destroy Belarusian values and implying that arresting their supporters means defending Belarus. ![]() This network has been hard at work ahead of the presidential election. ![]() Pro-Kremlin disinformation has a strong foothold, relying on an extensive coordinated network of regional websites that exploits people’s trust in local news.

Meanwhile, Belarusian state-controlled TV channels reported mere “disorders” (беспорядки) in the streets orchestrated by “foreign organisers,” along with reports about the start of the mushroom season. Authorities have responded with police violence, internet blackouts, and mass detentions of journalists and protesters. In recent days, thousands of people have been taking to the streets in Belarus to protest the results of presidential elections that gave President Alyaksandr Lukashenka a landslide victory amid allegations of widespread vote-rigging. ![]() ![]() (There’s an Indestructible Man poster in her bedroom, a film which is… really not very good.) Colletti is a fine lead, playing a creative and emotional teenager who respects the power of stories and has unexpectedly kooky taste in horror films. And there’s also no sense in critiquing the film for giving us exactly what we want by cutting to the chase.īut in a story as simplistic as “evil book, stories real, run from ghosts” it falls to the characters to keep our interest alive. Like Goosebumps and Annabelle Comes Home before it, it’s a Pandora’s Box framing device where the set-up is contrived but efficient, getting all the monsters out as quickly as possible because there’s no sense in belaboring the point. ![]() There’s very little to be said about the overarching story of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. And naturally, those stories come to life and drag each of the characters into their own personal hell. The house belonged to Sarah Bellows, a child-murderer who wrote terrifying tales of her own, and when Stella removes those scary stories (presumably to tell to the dark) from the basement, new stories start appearing in the book. Scary Stories stars Zoe Margaret Colletti ( Wildlife) as Stella, a teenaged horror enthusiast in 1968 who, on Halloween night, breaks into the spooky old house on the edge of town with her best friends. There’s no shortage of excellent scary moments in this movie, but you’ll have to trudge through some tedium to get there. Schwartz’s stories are intact, and the influence of Gammell’s signature imagery is everywhere. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, the movie, comes courtesy of director André Øvredal ( The Autopsy of Jane Doe), and it’s an overlong, unconvincingly nostalgic framing device for several adaptations of the books’ most iconic tales. Even Schwartz’s most innocuous tales looked utterly unwholesome when viewed through Gammell’s eyes.īut now we have all-new eyes, and although they owe fealty to both Schwartz and Gammell’s original work, they seem a little hackier than before. ![]() Gammell’s disturbingly detailed horror imagery revealed itself, often quite unexpectedly, from Rorschach splatters of drippy ink, as though they were being painted right in front of our eyes by a diseased imagination. The book series featured short stories by Alvin Schwartz, and they were frequently gruesome, but Stephen Gammell’s eery illustrations were the real nightmare fuel. It’s difficult to say just how many people were kept up late at night as little kids, afraid to turn off their flashlights and emerge from under their blankets, for fear of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. ![]() ![]() ![]() And although we all fall short of his glory and grace, we will pray and work by his power that He might be glorified in us, and us in him.

In 2014, the Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest was recognized as an Oregon Heritage Tradition by the Oregon Parks & Recreation Department, making it one of just 26 events statewide to achieve such a designation. No artificial coloring, paint, flour, sugar, starch, adhesives, or cement may be added. Only natural materials found on the beach, such as sticks, shells, rocks, and seaweed, may be used for ornamentation. Each team is given a plot of sand within a designated viewing area, and sand may not be added or removed. This often results in a creative and sometimes colorful commentary on current events. Contest rules are simple, and no themes are mandated. That Sandcastle Contest became one of the largest sandcastle contests on the west coast.ĭivisions of the contest include Sand Fleas, Juniors, Teens, Small Group, Large Group, and Masters.

This decouples the equation from the system and yet sets the value you wish to enforce. Then you zero out that column and the corresponding Dirichlet row, placing a 1 in the diagonal and the coefficient you wish to enforce. This is the discrete form of what I wrote above, $-a(g,w)$. Then you take the column of the local matrix which corresponds to the Dirichlet boundary condition, scale it by the coefficient you want to enforce, and subtract it from the right-hand-side. In a finite element code, you can form your element stiffness matrix as if there were no boundary conditions. $a(u,w)=l(w) \ \ \forall w\in\mathcal$ and $g$ is the Dirichlet condition.

When CIELAB was designed, the intent was that ΔC = 1 would correspond to one Just Noticeable Difference (JND). ΔC ab is simple geometric distance in the a*b* plane of CIELAB (L*a*b*) color space. The illustrations below are for a Colorchecker (shown above) analyzed in Multicharts. In addition to MacAdam ellipses, which are not generally used for color difference measurements (but are interesting for comparison), the following color difference metrics are presented. Multicharts and Multitest display them in a*b*, xy, u’v’, Vectorscope, and CbCr plots. Colorcheck, SFRplus, and eSFR ISO display them in the a*b* plot. Color difference ellipses in ImatestĪll Imatest modules that can produce two-dimensional color different plots can display color difference ellipses. In all ΔE (color difference) equations, the Luminance (L*) term can be easily removed, leaving chroma differences ΔC, which can be displayed in in two dimensions. Color differences are usually presented as ΔE ab, ΔE 94, or ΔE 00. Instead, color differences based on CIELAB (L*a*b*) color space, which was developed in 1976 with the intent of being much more perceptually uniform than xyY, are used. The MacAdam ellipses are not widely used in imaging (though they seem to have traction in LED lighting). This may be one reason why u’v’ hasn’t gained much traction in the imaging industry. ![]() u’v’ is supposed to be more perceptually uniform than xy, and that is not evident inside the sRGB gamut. Here are the MacAdam ellipses for the X-Rite Colorchecker, in xy (from xyY) and u’v’ (from Lu’v’) representations, displayed in Multicharts. The longer the ellipse axis, the greater the distance on the a*b* plane for a given color difference. The ellipses are a visual indicator of the magnitude of perceived color (chroma) difference. sRGB is used for all examples in this post. At least 10 of the original colors are outside the sRGB gamut. This is quite reliable since the gamut of the original color set extends well beyond the gamut of the widely-used sRGB color space (the standard of Windows and the internet), as well as most other color spaces used in imaging. In imatest we use a sophisticated interpolation routine to determine the ellipse parameters for color test charts. Twenty-five colors (whose xy values are shown as Īlmost all images of MacAdam ellipses show the ellipses for the original 25 colors. The ellipse parameters are based on statistical variations in the matching, which are closely related to Just Noticeable Differences (JND). The MacAdam ellipses were developed from a set of experiments performed at the University of Rochester in 1942, in which an observer tried to match pairs of colors, one fixed and one variable. These ellipses were developed from the MacAdam ellipses, shown on the right. Starting with Imatest 4.2, Imatest’s two-dimensional chroma displays- CIELAB a*b*, CIE 1931 xy chromaticity, CIE u’v’ chromaticity, Vectorscope, and CbCr- can display ellipses that assist in visualizing perceptual color differences. ΔC ab = (a* 2 b* 2) 1/2 (sometimes called ΔC) is the simple Euclidean (geometric) distance on the a*b* plane. In this post we will discuss chroma differences. If brightness (L*) is omitted, these measurements are called ΔCab, ΔC 94, and ΔC 00, where C stands for chroma(which includes a color’s hue and saturation). When these representations are viewed, the question naturally arises, “how different are the reference and camera colors?” Color differences can be quantified by several measurements- ΔE ab, ΔE 94, and ΔE 00 (where 00 is short for 2000), where ΔE measurements include chroma (color) and luminance (brightness). How different are the reference and camera colors in the Colorchecker image on the right, represented in these diagrams? They are for the Colorchecker image, also shown below, where the upper-left of each patch is the reference color and the lower-right is the camera color. The two most familiar representations- CIELAB a*b* and CIE 1931 xy chromaticity - are shown below. Imatest has several two-dimensional displays for comparing test chart reference (ideal) colors with measured (camera) colors, where reference colors are represented by squares and measured values are represented by circles. ![]() set_facecolor ( 'k' ) # Make sure our circles are circular! ax. ![]() format ( T ), xy = ( x, y * 1.2 - 0.5 ), va = 'center', ha = 'center', color = html_rgb ) # Set the limits and background colour remove the ticks ax.
