List of Operators ↓
This chapter describes how to calibrate different multi-view camera setups.
In order to achieve high accuracy for your measuring tasks you need to calibrate your camera setup. In comparison to a single-camera setup, some additional requirements apply to the calibration of a multi-view camera setup. The following paragraphs provide explanations regarding the calibration of multi-view camera setups. For general information on camera calibration please refer to the chapter Calibration.
Before the actual calibration can be performed, a calibration data model must be prepared (as described in Calibration). For setups with multiple cameras, these additional aspects should be considered:
The number of cameras in the setup and the number of used
calibration objects can be set when calling
When specifying the camera type with
note that only cameras of the same type (i.e., area scan or line scan)
can be calibrated in a single setup.
Configure the calibration process, e.g., specify the
reference camera, using
. You can also specify
parameters for the complete setup or just configure parameters of
individual cameras as well as calibration object poses in the setup.
The calibration performed by
depends on the
camera types that are involved in the calibration setup. While different
camera setups require specific conditions when acquiring images, the basic
steps of the calibration procedure for setups including projective and/or
telecentric cameras are similar:
Building a chain of observation poses:
In the first step, the operator
tries to build a
valid chain of observation poses, that connects all cameras and calibration
object poses to the reference camera. Depending on the setup, the conditions
for a valid chain of poses differ. For specific information see the
respective paragraphs below.
If there is a camera that cannot be reached (i.e., it is not observing any calibration object pose that can be connected in the chain), the calibration process is terminated with an error. Otherwise, the algorithm initializes all calibration items' poses by going down this chain.
In this step,
performs the actual
optimization for all optimization parameters that were not explicitly
excluded from the calibration.
Based on the so-far calibrated cameras, the algorithm corrects all
observations that contain mark contour information
Then, the calibration setup is optimized anew for the corrections to take
effect. If no contour information was available, this step is
Compute quality of parameter estimation:
In the last step,
computes the standard
deviations and the covariances of the calibrated internal camera parameters.
The following paragraphs give further information about the conditions specific to the camera setups.
For a setup with projective area scan cameras, the calibration is performed in the four steps listed above. The algorithm tries to build a chain of observation poses that connects all cameras and calibration object poses to the reference camera like in the diagram below.
Possible projective area scan cameras are:
For a setup with telecentric area scan cameras, similar to projective area scan cameras, the same four steps that are listed above are executed. In the first step (building a chain of observation poses that connects all cameras and calibration objects), additional conditions must hold. Since the pose of an object can only be determined up to a translation along the optical axis, each calibration object must be observed by at least two cameras to determine its relative location. Otherwise, its pose is excluded from the calibration. Also, since a planar calibration object appears the same from two different observation angles, the relative pose of the cameras among each other cannot be determined unambiguously. Therefore, there are always two valid alternative relative poses. Both alternatives result in a consistent camera setup which can be used for measuring. Since the ambiguity cannot be resolved, the first of the alternatives is returned. Note that, if the returned pose is not the real pose but the alternative one, then this will result in a mirrored reconstruction.
Possible telecentric area scan cameras are:
For a mixed setup with projective and telecentric area scan cameras, the algorithm performs the same four steps as enumerated above. Possible ambiguities during the first step (building a chain of observation poses that connects all cameras and calibration objects), as described above for the setup with telecentric cameras, can be resolved as long as there exists a chain of observation poses consisting of all perspective cameras and a sufficient number of calibration objects. Here, sufficient number means that each telecentric camera observes at least two calibration objects of this chain.
Setups with telecentric line scan cameras
'line_scan_telecentric') behave identically to setups
with telecentric area scan cameras and the same restrictions and
ambiguities that are described above apply. For this type of
setup, two possible configurations can be distinguished. In the
first configuration, all cameras are mounted rigidly and
stationary and the object is moved linearly in front of the
cameras. Alternatively, all cameras are mounted rigidly with
respect to each other and are moved across the object by the same
linear actuator. In both cases, all cameras share a common motion
vector, which is modeled in the camera coordinate system of the
reference camera and is transformed to the camera coordinate
systems of all other cameras by the rotation part of the
respective camera's pose. This configuration is assumed by
default. In the second configuration, the cameras are moved by
independent linear actuators in different directions. In this
case, each camera has its own independent motion vector. The type
of configuration can be selected with

Excellent documentary. Before watching, I really was basically clueless to how systematic racism and social disparities play a profound roll for black men in not attending medical school and becoming physicians. I've been in an allied health field for over a decade.
I have two young boys and chose to have their PCP be a wonderful African American man. Although my family is white, it is so important to me to have my boys look up to a strong professional man of color. I want them to see that warmth and trust in those who don't happen to look like them.
Thank you so much for creating this documentary.
This is an excellent, exceptional and eye opening and at the same time heartbreaking. We need more African American physicians and please keep the momentum moving forward. Great job with the video.
Powerful documentary, well done!
Great documentary and message! This is an extremely important issue. Keep uplifting Black people!
Wonderful! I hope this brings about major change!

Some area school officials are confident their students will get a spring break, while others are waiting to see what state legislators do regarding a piece of legislation that could provide their school districts some relief if it is adopted by the Kentucky General Assembly.
The legislation is House Bill 410, which calls for the commissioner of education to approve a request from local boards of education to waive a maximum 10 instructional days missed.
Three school districts in particular that are interested in what the Kentucky General Assembly will do regarding the legislation are Barren, Metcalfe and Monroe County.
Chris Huffman, director of pupil personnel for the Metcalfe County school system, anticipates the board of education taking a look at the school calendar at its meeting Tuesday night.
“We are anxious to see what comes with that bill,” he said. “It’s not clear how that will be handed down to school districts, so we are eagerly waiting the outcome of that bill.”
Huffman hopes state legislators will do something soon so plans can be made regarding the district’s school calendar.
Metcalfe County has missed a total of 16 days.
“At this point, before next week’s board meeting, we will have spring break in our calendar,” Huffman said.
Barren County school officials think, at this point, their students will still get a spring break.
“No decisions have been made final as of yet,” said Bo Matthews, superintendent of Barren County schools. “I’m sure we are going to be looking at it at the next [school board] meeting. If I had to venture a guess, we will probably leave spring break intact, but it is still at the mercy of the board.”
In addition to keeping a close eye on HB 410, Barren County school officials have also put in a request to the Kentucky Department of Education to access accumulative time in the school district’s existing master schedule.
Barren County has missed a total of 15 days and will be closed again Thursday due to slick road conditions.
As of Wednesday, Monroe County schools had missed a total of 13 days, most of which was due to the weather. Monroe County students returned to class on Thursday, but the days they missed due to the winter storm that passed through the area on Sunday took up their entire spring break and then some.
“We went one day over spring break, so we will have one day to make up,” said Lewis Carter, superintendent of Monroe County schools. “If HB 410 passes, we’ve got an opportunity to have a spring break.”
Carter anticipates the Monroe County Board of Education taking a look at the school calendar at its meeting on March 13 and said it would be nice to know how the legislation will affect the district’s school calendar.
Two area school districts that will likely be able to take spring break on schedule are Glasgow and Caverna Independent School districts.
“I think we are OK. That’s a board decision. We will bring that to the board and they will have to approve it,” said Randy Wilkinson, director of pupil personnel for Glasgow.
Glasgow students have missed a total of four days.
“We can easily tack these on to the end [of the year],” he said.
The Glasgow Board of Education could take a look at the school calendar at its meeting Monday night, but Wilkinson thinks it will wait to see what happens with the legislation.
Caverna school district officials also anticipate taking a spring break.
Students who attend Caverna schools have missed seven to eight days, but the school district had make-up days already built into its school calendar.
“We are going on our regular make-up schedule right now, so we are good,” said Cornelius Faulkner, director of pupil personnel for Caverna schools.
The legislation was posted in the Kentucky House of Representatives’ Education Committee on Feb. 28 and has remained there since.
A phone call to the state legislative research commission Wednesday afternoon revealed that the House Education Committee, which typically meets on Tuesday, did not meet earlier this week, but is scheduled for another meeting on March 11.

Cannabis, recognized more commonly as cannabinoid extract, is a genus of flowering plants that grow in three different species, cannabis Indica, cannabis Sativa, and cannabis ruderalis. The most prevalent of these are cannabis Sativa and cannabis Indica. As such, there are 4 Things You Should Know About Cannabinoid Extracts and why cannabis oils and extracts give a lot of health benefits.
What do the general therapeutic laws intersecting the country mean? How do they manipulate? According to these new state laws, you require a minimum of a single disease on a specific collection of diseases. This must be diagnosed by practicing a consistent physician who drives cannabis within an appropriate medication. Patients finally have numerous options obtainable to them according to which state’s regulations they live under.
The first preference in most states is to devote the letter of reference from your doctor to a medical marijuana dispensary. If you need to move or buy them from a different region, you’ll necessitate having the doctor’s notice with you. The next option is to take the letter from the doctor and ship it using the correct health function types into your nation’s administration.
An accomplished patient might be accountable for anywhere from eight measures of them to several pounds. They can establish and maintain six to fifty plants of diversifying development according to which county of the state they live in.
Set the Limitation
Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica are extricated to make CBD oil. According to some, CBD oil is used in negotiating pain and helps in reducing anxiety. It is related to marijuana but does not cause any psychological effects. It can also cure seizures. CBD stands for cannabidiol. It is usually mixed with sacking seed oil or coconut oil that are carrier oils. It is a natural essence. It is used in oil and edibles. It creates calming and relaxing effects.
Approximately all countries also grant you a third assortment for patients. It’s expected to sustain your doctor’s letter of knowledge and transmit it in the country’s health area with the necessary forms. This third selection requires you to request a health card to create your medicinal cannabis. The laws in this area not only replace by state but additionally by constituency infrequently.
It may look like the enactment acknowledging pharmaceutical cannabis for sure people are abusing bud, but that is not the point. The new laws such as proposition 215 in California are appropriated to allow somebody who undergoes specific illnesses to get in the remedy they must feel much more satisfied.

By YVONNE HAIP
WESTERN Highlands province could be facing an AIDS crisis soon if the deadly virus continues to spread at the current rate.
Data from the Tininga HIV/AIDS clinic in Mt Hagen released on World AIDS Day on Tuesday is frightening.
The data showed that the clinic records between 35 and 40 new HIV/AIDS cases per month.
Dr Veronica Kaima, the Highland’s regional coordinator of HIV care and treatment, said they were beginning to feel the stress of an increase in patients.
She said they estimated that nearly 6,000 people were living with HIV in the province, and this number was rising monthly at an alarming rate.
She said there was a lot of pressure on the Mt Hagen General Hospital’s laboratory, which cannot cope with the increasing demand for all laboratory tests for HIV in the province.
Dr Kaima said the Tininga Care Centre serve 70 to 80 HIV patients a day and register 35 to 40 new cases every month.
Access to service by the people was becoming difficult, especially drugs like ARV, she added.
She said if the Global Fund ceased supplying the anti-retroviral drugs, the Government should find a substitute programme to provide care for people with AIDS at the district levels.
Dr Kaima said deteriorating health facilities, lack of proper laboratory equipment and funding for the district health centres should be improved.
She said other sicknesses like TB, diarrhoea, malaria, typhoid, and scabies were treatable at health centres in the rural areas and not necessarily at hospitals.
She said ARV drugs could also be available at health centres in the districts but this was not happening.
Dr Kaima said statistics showed that since 2006, the ARV drug had reduced HIV deaths by 40%, adding that if such drugs were available at the district level, the deaths could be further reduced.
She called for more emphasis to be placed on providing care and treatment at the district levels in line with this years theme ‘Make HIV prevention, treatment, care and support accessible in PNG – it’s our right”.

When I discovered his well-kept Instagram account, I had no doubts, I absolutely had to interview him for my Battlestation column. Cornel is a Romanian boy moved to Germany for work who, out of passion, has set up his computer desk in a truly commendable way.
The attention to detail is evident in every aspect, starting with its spectacular pyramid-shaped pc case and the setting up of the wall behind the desk.
Here the password is FUN, k3sarion (this is his battle tag) in fact uses his station mainly for gaming and streaming on twich.
Now let’s leave the word to him!
To start, please tell us where you come from and how old you are.
Hi, my name is Cornel Klein aka K3sarion. I’m a 24 years old Romanian who lives and works in Germany with his wife.
What do you do with your computer?
Mostly I play. I would say that 80% of the activity is gaming. The rest is work, like investing, managing my business, emails, and sometimes video editing (still learning, I am really bad at it) .
When did you start optimizing your workstation?
I started working at my PC during the pandemic. I was gaming on a pretty decent gaming laptop but I wanted something more. I never had a proper gaming rig because my parents never afforded one when I was a kid. After a couple of years of hard work, I finally managed to be able to afford one so I started building it. At first, I wanted a basic one but I guess I forgot that during the process
What fundamental characteristics must a good battlestation have?
The GPU for sure! If you use it for gaming that’s one thing you should be very careful about. Don’t cut costs around the GPU. A good CPU and some decent RAMs are also indicated. SSD is a must I would say even tho I also use an HDD.
What are the strengths of your workstation?
But the most important characteristic about a gaming battlestation si FUN! You have to build it so you love it and you have fun during gaming. That’s the most important thing for the 98% of us who are playing for fun, casually, not to become pros or anything. Never forget that gaming is for fun first!
The biggest strength of my rig is the odd shape! A pyramid-shaped PC case must mean something, lol! I’m joking, I think the CPU and the RAM configuration are pretty strong. I want to upgrade the GPU soon and after that, the GPU will be the strength of my battlestation.
Can you explain in detail the components you used?
Below the specs of my system in full.
CASE: Azza Pyramid 804
MAINBOARD: ASRock Z490 Extreme 4
CPU: Intel Core i7 10700K
CPU LIQUID COOLER: Enermax Aquafusion 360
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 5700 OC 8GB
NVME SSD: 500GB WD _BLACK
HDD: 2TB WD Red Pro NAS Hard Drive
POWER SUPPLY: Cooler Master 700 Masterwatt Lite
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 4x8GB DDR4 3200MHz
MOUSE: Logitech G502 Lightspeed
KEYBOARD: Logitech G915 Lightspeed
HEADSET: Logitech G935
STEREO SOUNDBAR: Sony HT-SF150
RACING WHEEL CONTROLLER: Logitech G29
MONITOR 1: AOC CU34G2X/BK
MONITOR 2: AOC 27G2U/BK
It’s a great setup! Have you already thought about the next evolutions?
As I said before, I want to upgrade the GPU. Now I use an AMD Radeon RX 5700XT but I would love to get my hands on an Nvidia RTX 3070ti or an Nvidia RTX 3080ti. More than that, I want to get a new AIO. Not sure which one, but a 360 one for sure.
Which social networks are you most active on?
You can find me as @k3sarion on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter. I post regularly everywhere and I do my best to create good quality content. I am trying to stream on Twitch more also. You can find me as K3sarion on Twitch too.
Thank you for accepting the interview!
Believe me, it was a lot of fun!
With the help of his wife Andra, Cornel also revitalized the RAMkill3r project, a line of snapback hats dedicated to gamers and geeks just like them (or like me!).
In the photos you find below, you can admire some of them displayed on the shelf above the monitor.
I recommend you also visit their online store.

Following the end of World-War I in 1918, BMW was pushed to stop aircraft-engine creation from the Armistice Treaty’s phrases. The company subsequently shifted to bike production whilst the treaty’s restrictions grew to become raised in 1923, accompanied by automobiles in 1928–29.|.%]
The very first automobile which BMW properly created and the vehicle which unveiled BMW on the road to automobile creation to vehicle generation ontheroad was certified from the Austin Business in England and the Dixi, based on the Austin 7.

One minuted read. Written by Nayantara Singh -a grade 5 student
This is one of the best books you will read (there’s a movie too – but read the book first)
“You can’t blend in, if you were born to stand out.” These are the words of R.J. Palacio, the author of the splendid novel, Wonde
Wonder is a book which has a great story line, expressive language and a deep meaning. It is about a boy named August Pullman who is born with a face disorder called the Treacher Collins Syndrome. Most people judge him by his appearance, except his family, and a childhood friend named Christopher.
This book is about the time when August goes to school. At first, it is very hard, but August finds two friends, Summer and Jack. There is also a boy named Julian, who is mean to August. However, the main reason that August is able to get through his school years is because family is very supportive. His sister Olivia always supported August, even when she is anxious or upset about something. His parents, Isabel and Nate Pullman are extremely patient with August.
I like the fact that the author has written the book in many people’s perspectives. This book is not only extremely enjoyable to read, but also has a learning.
There are three companions to this book. They are – The Julian Chapter, Shingaling and Pluto. They are available in one book called Auggie and Me. They are about the same story as wonder from three different perspectives.
I would highly recommend reading wonder, as it has a little bit of humour and is a little sad, but on the whole, it is a memorable read.
Here’s the trailer – but remember, read the book first!

Parents and faculty all across Fort Myers, Florida now have every right to keep a proverbial (or literal; I’m sure that exists) GPS on their kids after a group of teenagers had sex in a high school bathroom this week. According to a Lee County Sheriff’s Office incident report, cell phone footage showed at least two dozen — dozen — students entering a bathroom to have sex with one girl during school hours at South Fort Myers High School.
Authorities and the victim’s parents had not planned to press charges, but now that the video leaked to social media, Florida Department of Children and Families have confiscated the device and are conducting an investigation. It’s unclear whether the acts were consensual or not, but no matter how you slice it, the victim was not of a consenting age, rendering it rape. Had she been older and more capable of informed consent, I could see myself playing devil’s advocate, because I listen to a ton of Guys We Fucked: The Anti Slut-Shaming Podcast and I know better than to yuck another woman’s yum. But a teen? I am genuinely concerned for her well-being and safety and I can’t fathom how traumatized she must have felt, or how she might be processing the incident as days go by.
Only two states have mandated sexual education, and you guessed it, Florida is not one of them. We can no longer afford to sit idly literally watching acts of sexual violence on our security cameras as an impetus to implement mandatory nationwide programs.
It’s been said before, many times, by many people, but once more for the cheap seats in the back: We have to teach our kids what is “sex” and what is “rape” and generally what the fuck is OK and what isn’t when it comes to your own body and the bodies of other people.
Sure, it’s our duty to support victims in the wake of an attack, but here’s an even better thought: lets teach boys not to rape. Make sexual education a holistic part of a kid’s upbringing, not some isolated condom-wrapped banana tutorial after science class when their brains are reefer-fried. How about we work hard from day one to normalize sex around the dinner table so our kids don’t run rampant in the bathrooms; to teach them to respect boundaries; to ignore that shitty, shitty line in that otherwise really good song saying “What do you mean when you nod your head yes but you wanna say no” promoting the idea that a woman’s limits are fluid and that her intuition can betray her.
The concern that there won’t be a football team next year while the players are suspended is, well, concerning. Sports can wait while these boys sit in their rooms and think about what they’ve done, only to resurface periodically for their daily allowance of mash. And that’s it. Only mash for young rapists.

And the anti-racism Oscar goes to… the Hollywood celebrities producing this contrived, virtue-signaling video
In response to America’s racial unrest over George Floyd’s murder, Hollywood actors once again feel the need to flex their me-first moralism with a nauseating, self-serving performance.
Unfortunately for us, Hollywood never lets a good crisis go to waste.
First there was the coronavirus pandemic.
Hollywood bravely responded to that calamity with Wonder Woman herself, Gal Gadot, and a cavalcade of her clueless celebrity friends putting out a video of themselves “singing” John Lennon’s saccharine anthem ‘Imagine’.
The world responded by collectively throwing up in its mouth.
With ‘Imagine’, Gadot and company appeared to have the Cringe-Worthy Video of the Year Award all wrapped up.
But then there was the police murder of George Floyd, an unarmed and handcuffed black man in Minneapolis, followed by protests, riots and looting across the country.
A new collection of entertainment industry nitwits has responded to that catastrophe with an anti-racism video titled ‘I Take Responsibility’. And suddenly the race for the Cringe-Worthy Video Crown has a new front-runner.
‘I Take Responsibility’ features Sarah Paulson, Aaron Paul, Kesha, Bethany Joy Lenz, Kristen Bell, Justin Theroux, Debra Messing, Mark Duplass, Bryce Dallas Howard, Julianne Moore, Piper Perabo, Stanley Tucci, Ilana Glazer, and Aly Raisman telling us they “take responsibility” and “stand against hate.”
The unintentional comedy of the video is absolutely off the charts, as it is littered with sub-textual ironies like the fact that it is shot in black and white (as apparently it doesn’t see color!), and is entirely devoid of any racial or ethnic diversity.
One of the more hysterical moments is when these Hollywood dopes repeatedly tell us that they “take responsibility” for “every not so funny joke, every unfair stereotype.”
What about the funny jokes and the fair stereotypes? Who is going to take responsibility for those? Wouldn’t a video made by the people taking responsibility for the funny jokes and fair stereotypes be much more enlightening and entertaining than this dour diatribe?
Other lowlights of ‘I Take Responsibility’ are the egregiously brutal performances.
Aaron Paul, who is one of the worst actors of his, or any other, generation, strains so hard to be credible he appears to be actually moving his bowels on camera. And if you listen closely enough when he speaks, you can actually hear the wind whistle through the vacant and cavernous void where his brain should be.Also on rt.com Hollywood actors blasted for ‘performative nonsense,’ after committing to ‘take responsibility’ for racism in cringey VIDEO
Debra Messing only makes a brief appearance and seems to have been abruptly awoken from a nap to record her lines. I understand why she is so tired, as she looks like she was up all night haunting houses. Yikes.
The talented Sarah Paulson brings much-needed gravitas to the festivities in the form of ridiculously oversized glasses. As everyone knows, it is a scientifically proven fact that people who wear oversized glasses are both serious and incapable of racism… especially when they have an adorable lisp.
Academy Award winner Julianne Moore appears in the video and nobly casts hyperbole aside and tells the unvarnished truth when she adamantly declares that “black people are being slaughtered in the streets!”
I’d be willing to bet that not only are the streets where Ms. Moore lives devoid of slaughtered black people, they are most likely devoid of all black people.
Stanley Tucci and Justin Theroux get in on the act by not acting at all. They are so flat and dead eyed they could’ve, and should’ve, been reading from the phone book.
Speaking of reading… by far my favorite part of the video is the fact that these actors and actresses, who literally memorize dialogue for a living (and they make a very good living), apparently care so little about “taking responsibility” and “standing against hate” that they cannot be bothered to put in the least amount of effort and memorize their idiotic mini-monologue.
This cornucopia of clowns may have set out to highlight how “not racist” they are, but instead, by obviously reading their lines, they only proved how entitled and lazy they truly are.
As I watched this trainwreck I couldn’t help but wonder…who is the target audience for this thing?
The answer is self-evident, as the video is made solely for the people in it and their fellow privileged Hollywood elites who enjoy watching masturbatory displays of faux, me-first moralism.
As a not-so-proud resident of Los Angeles and an active member of both the entertainment business and the creative community, I do hereby declare that I do NOT take responsibility for anything these mindless morons vomit out onto the world.
They claim to stand against hate… how impotently and insipidly trite of them.
In contrast… I stand against virtue signaling. I stand against moral preening. I stand against the vain, vacuous and vapid pandering of elitist prigs. I stand against the shameless self-indulgence and self-righteousness of Hollywood narcissists too enthralled by their own sense of superiority to see that they are utterly and ridiculously absurd.
In conclusion, I think I speak for every sentient being in the universe when I take a knee and plead with these imbecilic celebrities to please, pretty please…from now on, just… Shut. The. F**k. Up.

Hyperloop One has unveiled a vision for a tubular transport system that it hopes to build between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. But the company must still overcome some significant hurdles before it sends any passengers down its pipe.
The journey between the two cities, which is close to a hundred miles long, would take just 12 minutes to complete, according to TechCrunch. And in a concept video, Hyperloop One suggests that the whole experience would be effortless: passengers would be picked up from their home or office by an autonomous vehicle, driven to the Hyperloop, where the vehicle would be loaded onto a larger transporter, then fired down the tube toward the destination. Transit perfection, with no need for passengers to look up from a laptop at any point during the trip.
It is, for now at least, too good to be true. The technology on which the Hyperloop vision is based is theoretically possible, though difficult to implement. The basic idea is to generate low pressure in the tube to reduce drag, and have the vehicle propel itself forward while skimming along atop a thin cushion of air. Great in theory, but in practical terms it requires an awful lot of energy. Hyperloop One’s first public test earlier this year served only to demonstrate just how far from reality the technology is: the company simply managed to fire a sled down an open test track using electromagnetic force.
If and when the practicalities are solved, there’s still the small matter of cost. Forbes recently claimed to have seen documents that put a price tag on the Dubai project: a cool $4.8 billion. Clearly, costs have increased from earlier estimates, because Elon Musk originally claimed that a Hyperloop between Los Angeles and San Francisco—taking passengers on a journey over three times the length of the Dubai system—would cost $6 billion.
No wonder Hyperloop One is keen to work with Dubai. While certainly not the world’s richest city, its authorities are investing more heavily in infrastructure than many wealthier urban settlements. Still, even it’s not yet totally sold on the idea: according to TechCrunch, the consultancy firm McKinsey & Co. and architects at Bjarke Ingels Group are both set to evaluate whether the Hyperloop is feasible.
Add the fact that Hyperloop is embroiled in a surreal lawsuit to the questions over economics and engineering, and it seems unbelievable that Dubai’s consultants will return an enthusiastic yes after their deliberations. But that doesn’t stop it from looking like one hell of a ride.
Large language models can do jaw-dropping things. But nobody knows exactly why.
And that's a problem. Figuring it out is one of the biggest scientific puzzles of our time and a crucial step towards controlling more powerful future models.

Spose Saturday; We All Got Lost
A look into my favorite song by the stoner Spiderman.
While Spose’s song writing is meant to relate to the common man because, he is a common man, this song really hits to everyone who has had a dream. Every person that works a typical 9-5 or works pay check to pay check has had a dream of being in a different career, being an actor or musician, or were just one step away from making it big but, fell victim to the abyss that a 9-5 represents.
We All Got Lost is the 11th song on the We All Got Lost album. The song begins with “Look, I think they set us up to let us down, Cause I don't quite know what to do, where to go, who I am, where I am right now, Thought I would be on top, with a pool and a yacht by 29, 23, she's pregnant, I'm unemployed, we gon' be fine”. He speaks of his dreams of being a huge star and how they did not pan out the way he envisioned. In addition to his dreams not materializing, he has fallen onto hard times. He has no job with a kid on the way.
A line that sticks out in the first verse is “This debt addressed to boulevard of broken dreams”. A reference to the Green Day hit Boulevard of Broken Dreams which is about being lonely and having you dreams crushed. In true Spizzy Spose fashion, he turns a song about people having their hearts broken into an absolute head banger. The way in which he is able to do this song after song is unbelievable.
“Reality was gruesome when it grew from the illusion, Feel like I was headed somewhere don't remember where it was, Somebody yelled, "Join the club!". Hearing that “join the club” goes back to what I said before. Many people, just about everyone, have gone through an event that crushed dreams or have had to settle down in a job that is a far cry from what they wanted their life to be.
The beginning of the second verse really sticks out because, it shows that you may have something you love but, cannot have. “I went both directions at the fork and I got split in half, I made the mistake of tryna have my cake and eat it”. He uses two very common phrases that are used for small conundrums but, makes it represent the massive life decisions that many have to make to either pursue a dream or settle in and live their life out.
“For every former emcee who used to rap to the beat, And had to sell his microphone cause life isn't cheap, For every girl who became a mom, whoops, on accident, Wasn't even tryna have a kid, you were just practicing, For every musician that should have made it, never did, And traded in their dreams but got this job with benefits, And went to school and got the job, but never got happy, What the fuck is going on?, We followed the instructions and arrived at the mirage, Thought everything went wrong, Then I turned on my flashlight in the fog”.
The above verse talks about encounters and events that make a huge impact in individuals lives. For example, the girl who probably had a dream to goto college or pursue a different career but, was knocked up and now she has to buckle down and become a parent. We saw it in 2020 how life comes at you fast and how we must learn to adapt so, people in these positions made the “smart” choice and adapted. While it is the “smart” choice, it’s not the desired one.
The third and final verse tells a story of a young man who got caught smoking weed and had his athletic scholarship revoked. This event caused a domino effect in his life leading him to become unemployed in his hometown. Every now and again he will see his old high school coach and feels embarrassed that he let him down.
In the second portion of the third verse, Spose tells another story of a person who “got lost”. It’s a young girl who has aspirations of becoming an actress so she moves to the epicenter of famous people, Hollywood. Like many others who move to L.A, she falls into the trap of not getting acting gigs and working as a waitress, a pretty good one. Her life is quickly falling apart. “10 years later she's a damn good waitress, So I tipped her good, said it's lonely at the top, She said she was lonely I said, "No you're not". She isn’t alone because, all of us in some way are lost.
At this point in my life, I believe I am approaching the fork in the road that Spose rapped about. Which way do I go? Do I do the responsible thing and continue my education or do I try to pursue podcasting and blogging? The answer for my parents is pretty clear and I think that the answer should be clear for myself but, I have found something I deeply love. Maybe, just maybe right now, I am getting lost.
This was a fun one to dissect. Next Saturday, I will dive into a song that Spose features on, Red Cup by Cash Cash featuring Lacey Schwimmer and Spose.

|NFL Draft’s Potential Patriots: West Virginia WR Stedman Bailey||03.07.13 at 11:37 am ET|
WEEI.com will continue to provide daily insight and analysis regarding options that might be available to the Patriots when it comes to 2013 NFL draft. Here is one is a series of profiles of players who could be on the board when it’s time for the Patriots to make a selection.
Position: Wide receiver
School: West Virginia
Weight: 193 pounds
Achievements: 2012 All-America second team (AP), 2011 All-Big East second team (coaches)
What he brings: Bailey has established a reputation as a player who shows great physicality during his routes, using his hands and body to create separation. He displays great body control and has proven to be a very reliable target. He is an intelligent receiver who finds holes and picks up first downs. Also, his quick feet and agility in the open field makes defenders miss. Bailey has a running back-type build and is difficult to tackle, frequently picking up yards after contact.
Where the Patriots could get him: Round 2 or 3
Notes: Bailey had 113 receptions in 2012 and set single-season school records for receiving yards (1,627) and touchdowns (25). He also set a WVU record for consecutive 100-yard receiving games with five. In 2011, he had 72 receptions for 1,279 yards and 12 touchdowns. As a redshirt freshman in 2010, Bailey played in all 13 games, making 24 catches for 317 yards and four touchdowns. Bailey leaves West Virginia as the school’s all-time leader in touchdown receptions with 39.

|40-yard dash times for wide receivers||02.24.13 at 10:02 am ET|
INDIANAPOLIS — Everyone loves them some 40-yard dash times, so we’ll update this post throughout the day with the results of some guys the Patriots could potentially look at. Click on the players’ names for stories we’ve written about them at the combine. Times are unofficial.
Tavon Austin, West Virginia: 4.25, 4.31
- Austin’s an explosive guy who models his game after Wes Welker. Could be intriguing at 29th overall if he’s there. His first time is one-tenth of a second slower than Chris Johnson‘s record.
Stedman Bailey, West Virginia: 4.50
- One of the WEEI.com draft binkies this year, I’d like Bailey in the middle rounds over Austin. That time isn’t great for his size, so maybe this drops him to the third round. Had 25 touchdowns last year.
Justin Hunter, Tennessee: 4.41, 4.44
- Good time for the 6-foot-4 Hunter. A possible first-rounder.
Da’Rick Rogers, Tennessee Tech: 4.52
DeAndre Hopkins, Clemson: 4.50
Terrance Williams, Baylor: 4.52
|Don’t forget about Stedman Bailey||02.22.13 at 4:06 pm ET|
INDIANAPOLIS — Tavon Austin is getting a lot of attention in the pre-draft process, and rightfully so, but Pats fans shouldn’t be too quick to overlook another West Virginia receiver.
Stedman Bailey‘s measurables don’t jump off the chart — he measured in at 5-foot-10 and 193 pounds — and while he’s taller than Austin, he doesn’t come close to being as fast, yet Bailey has been dominant in college. He led the nation with 25 receiving touchdowns last season and hauled in 114 passes for 1,622 yards last season.
While Austin currently projects to go in the first or second round, Stedman figures to be more of a mid-round guy. He sees himself as versatile when it comes to potentially being used in the slot or on the outside, so while Austin is the flashier option to potentially replace Wes Welker, don’t sleep on Bailey, who can be had later and potentially bring his big numbers to New England.
“Sted is definitely an underrated player,” Austin said Friday of his teammate, “and I think he should be higher than [where he is].”
As for why he’s flying under the radar, Stedman says he feels it’s “definitely” because of his measurables.
“From what I hear, time and time again, ‘He’s only 5-foot-10 and he probably won’t be able to that type of stuff in the NFL against bigger corners’ and stuff like that,” he said. “I feel like if I was 6-foot-3 or 6-foot-2, anywhere over 6-foot, with the numbers I put up I would probably be the No. 1 receiver (in the draft) but that’s not the case. It’s something I can’t control, so I just go with the flow.”
Considering he plays a position that’s been known to have its fair share of divas, Stedman seems more focused on performing well than getting the attention he deserves. He said he plays with a “dog” in him, but he doesn’t mind flying under the radar with fans and the media as long as NFL understand what he has to offer.
“I feel like I deserve the credit that’s due, but there’s a lot of things that I can’t control,” he said. “I don’t boast about it, or I don’t try to argue with anybody about it. I feel like my film work should speak for itself. I put up a lot of good numbers in college, broke a lot of records at West Virginia. If I was anywhere two inches taller, I’d probably be the No. 1 receiver in this draft, but that’s not the case.”

Good Saturday bloggers,
We will see rain chances increase each day for the next 5 days as tropical moisture increases from the south and a front drifts in from the north.
We had a few showers and thunderstorms this morning, mostly north of I-70. These were a southern extension of much bigger rain and thunderstorms across Iowa. These small and brief downpours will end by noon. There will be a 10% chance for a few new thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Highs today will be around 90°.
This is the map for Labor day. You can see we are in a flow from the Caribbean Sea. This flow will become increasingly more moisture laden as it tracks into our region. As this flow increases, a front will drop in from the north. The heaviest rain and thunderstorms will be along the front across Nebraska and Iowa through Labor day. Then, we will see the higher chances drift south.
Also, look that the red text. Yes, a tropical system is looking more likely according to the models and National Hurricane Center for early next week across the northern Gulf of Mexico. Now, we have been saying this location and timing for a tropical system since January. If one forms, it would likely be named Gordon.
You can really see the tropical flow in the 5 day rainfall forecast. The bulls eye near New Orleans is showing where the tropical system may occur.
When we zoom in to our area you can see the 5 day rainfall forecast ranges from around 1″ to 3″ with the heaviest northwest, closer to the front. Some locations may see locally higher rainfall depending on the extent of the tropical downpours.
LABOR DAY WEEKEND FORECAST: The chances increase each day as moisture from the tropics increases, increasing the coverage of the downpours.
Here is the latest drought monitor. We are now officially surrounded. This week there should be some serious dents in the drought, not only here, but across Texas and Oklahoma.
When we zoom in, you can see the areas of severe to exceptional drought across northern Missouri and around Kansas City. This came out on Thursday. Thursday night and Friday morning saw some big rain in northern Missouri.
Wow! Look at this. 4″ to 7″ of rain occurred in the very areas that needed it. So, there is no doubt that when you add this plus what is yet to come, that the drought is waning over northern Missouri. Rainfall around KC has been piddly in comparison, so the one remaining drought area seems to be the KC area, which is the exact opposite of last summer. KC was one of the only locations in the region, not in a drought. During the next 5 days even the KC area should see a reduction in drought conditions.
Have a great, happy and safe Labor day weekend.
Please don’t drink/text and drive.

EXPERTS have looked at the significance and constraints of the Plant Variety Protection (PVP) bill and how it will benefit farmers.
At a webinar held recently with the theme: “Expert review of the Plant Variety Protection (PVP) Bill: Significance and Constraints”, they said the bill would benefit farmers.
The webinar was organised by the Nigerian Economic Summit Group (NESG) and the National Agricultural Seeds Council (NASC), in partnership with the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA).
NESG Board member and Co-Founder/Managing Partner of Sahel Consulting Agriculture & Nutrition Ltd, Dr. Ndidi Nwuneli, said the PVP bill has an important role to play, as it will unlock potentials across Nigeria’s Agricultural ecosystem while protecting farmers.

She said without access to alternative sources of food or income, smallholder farmers are highly vulnerable to fluctuations in weather patterns, changes in government support and shifts in both local and international markets and there is a need for stakeholders to work collectively to transform Nigeria’s food ecosystem.
The Director-General of the National Agricultural Seeds Council (NASC), Dr. Philip Ojo, delivering a presentation on the “Significance of the PVP Act to the Seeds Subsector and the Nigerian Food and Agriculture Ecosystem”, said the PVP bill provides intellectual property protection to breeders to help get the best genetics, which aids food security. He said the NASC and other stakeholders have helped to facilitate the PVP bill, which is awaiting presidential assent.

While questions linger about the circumstances that led to the suicide of former NFL star Junior Seau, the notion of requiring mandatory counseling for retired players as they transition to life after football is gaining steam.
A chorus of former and current players, including Chicago Bears WR Brandon Marshall and Washington Redskins ILB London Fletcher, have called for post-career counseling after Seau's death at 43. A memorial service for Seau will be held at Qualcomm Stadium Friday. The funeral is Saturday.
"Is this going to be a situation that allows us to talk about it?" Troy Vincent, the NFL's VP for player engagement, told USA TODAY Sports on Thursday. "Unfortunately, we lost someone. To me, men are crying out for additional assistance."
Vincent, who played 15 pro seasons as a defensive back, heads the NFL department that addresses transition and other off-the-field support measures. Counseling, education and other services are available to players for five years after leaving the NFL, but Vincent, who endorses mandatory counseling, says only about 25% of current and retired players engage in league programs.
Counseling could be a valuable resource for ex-players dealing with depression that can come after leaving a high-profile athletic arena, or with other issues.
"They can make it available," newly elected Hall of Fame tackle Willie Roaf says, "but you can't make a person do something they don't want to do."
The most feasible way of ensuring counseling after players are finished playing football would likely be in tying it to the lump-sum severance pay for players (which ranges from $10,000 to $17,500 per season played for vested veterans). For that to occur, it would have to be added to the collective bargaining agreement.
"It's an idealistic goal," says Nolan Harrison, the former 10-year NFL defensive lineman who heads the NFL Players Association's retired players services division. "We'd love to see baseline testing (for concussions) for players coming into the league, and financial literacy standards, too."
Harrison pointed to the types of mandatory programs offered to military personnel returning to civilian life after leaving combat zones as a model.
"If would be beneficial," Harrison added.
Fletcher, preparing for his 15th NFL season, reiterated Thursday that he wanted to see mandatory counseling for players leaving the game.
Marshall, a seventh-year pro, wrote of his therapy last year for borderline personality disorder in a moving column for the Chicago Sun-Times and called to erase stigmas that may discourage people -- and NFL players -- from seeking help.
Hall of Fame safety Ronnie Lott considers himself a living testimony to the value of counseling. Lott underwent therapy following his NFL retirement after the 1994 season.
"It's hard to prescribe it as mandatory," Lott told USA TODAY Sports. "I did it because I wanted to understand a lot of things. I'm here to say that it enhanced who I am. Did it solve everything? No.
"But it gave me a chance to see things that I didn't think about and learn things I didn't know."
Nate Davis is a reporter, blogger and editor who's been at USA TODAY since 2000. He has covered the NFL since 2005. No, he did not play quarterback for Ball State. Davis' succession of our esteemed colleague Sean Leahy at The Huddle is considered a Brady-for-Bledsoe swap by most "insiders."More about Nate

Just a couple of years ago, the sight of a college football player driving a $ 40,000 car would trigger alarm bells for athletic department compliance directors and raise eyebrows for everybody else.
Last week, uber-talented Miami Hurricanes sophomore defensive tackle Leonard Taylor became the first college football player in Florida to secure free use of a vehicle for the entire length of his college career.
The deal – perfectly legal under the NCAA’s new NIL rules – was arranged by First Round Management certified football agents / NIL agents Malki Kawa, Peter Ariz and JR Bryant and Ocean Mazda Doral general manager Fernando Rodriguez.
“It means a lot to me because I needed a car and Malki came through,” Taylor said, noting that use of a vehicle ranks atop any list of benefits that college football players are now permitted to receive.
Taylor got to pick the car himself: a 2021 electric blue Dodger Charger.
“They’re going to customize the interior as well, put in Leonard’s logo and initials and whatever color interior he wants,” Kawa said.
Taylor stands poised to become one of UM’s breakout stars. Despite playing only 200 defensive snaps as a freshman, he had 9.5 tackles for loss, and Pro Football Focus rated him among the top third of all FBS defensive tackles last season (177th of 673).
“I want to be the best d-tackle in college football and I’m going to work to be that,” said Taylor, who admires and studies Los Angeles Rams star defensive tackle Aaron Donald. “As long as I keep pushing for it, I can be anything I want.”
One change from his first season: He said he’s studying the playbook more.
“I know I didn’t know the plays so there was nothing I could do but focus in and lock in,” he said. “I’ve got to win my spot on the field. [New defensive line coach Joe Salave’a] is good people. He tells me if I stay in the books, I can play in the league [NFL] for years. “
Taylor is looking forward to learning from Hall of Famer and Dolphins legend Jason Taylor, a UM analyst who will be working with defensive linemen.
The unique car deal, one of only a handful in college football, came about when Kawa – after landing Taylor as an NIL client – reached out to Rodriguez, whom Kawa has known since they were grade-school students.
“It’s a first,” Kawa said of a college football player in Florida getting a free car, “but it’s a testament to what Miami is building, and the type of player Leonard is. This isn’t happening for zero-star players.
“He has the ability to become the best defensive tackle to ever come out of the University of Miami if he applies himself and pushes forward. We saw flashes as a freshman. As a sophomore, he’ll take the next steps. And the new coaching staff and new strength and conditioning staff and all the things Miami is doing different will all benefit him. He could become a force where we could be looking at a top 10 pick when the time comes for him as a junior. ”
So what’s required of Taylor as part of the car deal?
“He will do promotions,” Kawa said. “Every month, he will be responsible to do social media posts, Instagram, Twitter. There will be a couple of autograph signings at the dealership he will do as part of this deal. It’s a multiyear deal. We felt Leonard was the right guy. Leonard is going to have this car throughout his college career. “
Doral Ocean Mazda GM Rodriguez, a former baseball player at Miami Columbus and a member of the school’s Hall of Fame, didn’t hesitate about giving out a free car, even though “there’s low inventory and it took us a while to get this car . “
The fact that former Miami Columbus standout Mario Cristobal “is back in town, that’s a big deal,” Rodriguez said. “When Malki talked about doing this first NIL deal, I thought it was great idea. Leonard being a Miami Palmetto kid, homegrown kid, it’s an honor. We want to support the guys in the local community. “
Now that he has his free wheels, Taylor will focus on becoming what everyone believes he can be.
He knows this much: The program is going to be different with Cristobal in charge.
“He’s real disciplined, means business,” Taylor said. “The program has changed since he’s been there. Our conditioning is crazy, different from last year. It’s stricter discipline. ”

For those of you who don’t know, I wasn’t always a runner; I haven’t always been the Run for God guy. Nope, in fact, my profession since I graduated high school has been a general contractor. That’s right, I grew up on jobsites, swinging hammers, toting lumber, and hearing all the normal conversations that take place in this setting which is usually far from spiritual. I love being a contractor. I love taking nothing one day and building it into something beautiful the next. To me, it’s very satisfying.
Over the last several years I’ve been somewhat removed from that setting due to the growth of Run for God as well as the weak housing market. My partner and brother Jerome was very understanding in 2010 when I told him I felt the Lord calling me to start a ministry that we all know as Run for God.
As of late, I’ve been making a return to the job site. I’ve got great people around me at Run for God, which has allowed me to step back into a world that has dramatically changed. Or has it? You see, as I sit here typing this blog, I’m sitting in my truck on one of our job sites. There are dozers, dump trucks, men chewing and smoking tobacco, foul language, and the smell of fresh turned dirt permeating the air. I won’t forget walking up on a job a few weeks ago and a sub-contractor that I’d known since I was a kid was using words that I hadn’t been exposed to in some time. Had he changed? Nope, but I had.
God really began to open my eyes to the fact that He had changed me. He had taken me out of an environment that’s not always so Godly so that He could change my heart and place me back there to point people to him. Something I would have never done years ago.
So where does God have you right now? Do you shy away from those who don’t have a relationship with Christ because your fearful of what they might say, think, or do? If you don’t shy away, are you blending in? Or, are you shining the light of Jesus to the very people who may need to see it most?
Don’t try to compartmentalize God! Don’t try and show Him off in some areas and hide Him in others. Let the love of Jesus flow into all areas of your life and make it your goal to reach those whom you’d never expect to reach. Matthew 5:16 says to, “let your light shine before others.” Is your light always shining before others? Go ahead; let your worlds (church, family, job, recreation) collide! Who knows, maybe it’s stepping outside your comfort zone and teaching a Run for God class whereby your recreation and spiritual worlds collide?

The use of airborne hyperspectral remote sensing imagery for automated mapping of submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV) in the tidal Potomac River was investigated for near to real-time resource assessment and monitoring. Airborne hyperspectral imagery and field spectrometer measurements were obtained in October of 2000. A spectral library database containing selected ground-based and airborne sensor spectra was developed for use in image processing. The spectral library is used to automate the processing of hyperspectral imagery for potential real-time material identification and mapping. Field based spectra were compared to the airborne imagery using the database to identify and map two species of SAV (Myriophyllum spicatum and Vallisneria americana). Overall accuracy of the vegetation maps derived from hyperspectral imagery was determined by comparison to a product that combined aerial photography and field based sampling at the end of the SAV growing season. The algorithms and databases developed in this study will be useful with the current and forthcoming space-based hyperspectral remote sensing systems.

Kemp, who recently left his Capital Breakfast radio show, co-hosted the annual music ceremony with Maya Jama and Clara Amfo at the O2 Arena on Saturday (2 March).
During the event, Kemp roamed around the floor where the stars were seated, and sat down to speak with Minogue before she was presented with the Global Icon award.
The 31-year-old appeared slightly nervous as he twice asked Minogue how she was doing, before producing a pair of high heels and asking her to join him in an Australian tradition, dubbed a “shoey”, where alcohol is drunk from a shoe.
“If I could ask for your shoe, could I do that?” Kemp asked Minogue, who appeared baffled by his request.
“Do I do this?” Minogue asked the audience. “By the way, I’ve never…” Looking flustered, she exclaimed: “I don’t know!”
While the audience cheered as both Minogue and Kemp took a sip of beer out of the stiletto heels, which Kemp said were “clean”, viewers at home were less impressed.
“Kylie Minogue is an absolute treasure but this is excruciating,” music fan Andrew Jazzie tweeted, sharing stills of the moment Kemp got Minogue to do the “shoey”.
Another viewer called it “car crash TV”, writing: “The presenting is so poor, Roman Kemp is continually dying on his arse. The award announcers are weird choices. The atmosphere is dead. Kylie must be wondering why she bothered.”
“Good god. Just catching up with the Brits,” one audience member said, “and Roman Kemp’s interviewing and getting Kylie to drink from a stiletto was beyond cringe. I don’t think I can watch anymore. Dreadful stuff.”
More viewers said that Minogue looked “uncomfortable” and said the moment was “degrading”, particularly given the “Spinning Around” star was there to collect an award in recognition of a career spanning more than three decades.
Meanwhile, The Guardian Australia’s deputy culture editor Sian Cain called it a “diplomatic incident”, accusing Kemp of “insolence”.
“A shoey is something Australians inflict on Harry Styles and Post Malone when they come to town,” she said.
“But you can’t pressure Kylie into drinking foot juice, and certainly not if you are a Brit. Call the ambassador.”
The Independent has contacted Kemp’s representatives for comment.
Kemp, who is the son of Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp and singer Shirlie Holliman, recently announced that he was stepping down from his Capital Radio breakfast show after almost a decade with the station.
“What I can tell you is I’m not saying goodbye right now, I’m not leaving the show today and that’s it, but it’s not far away,” Kemp told listeners in February.
“It will come and that goodbye will come in five to six weeks. It’s not a decision that has come overnight either, it’s massive, I’ve not found it easy at all.
“Capital is my family, you as the wonderful listeners that you’ve been, you’ve been with me at my best times and my absolute lowest … Capital and Global have helped change me.”
The Brit Awards were praised over the weekend for acknowledging the talents and success of British singer RAYE, the undisputed star of the night who dominated with five award wins.
The musician born Rachel Keen swept the ceremony with awards for Artist of the Year and Album of the Year with her debut My 21st Century Blues, which she released independently after a public split from her former label, Polydor.
Critic Mark Beaumont said RAYE’s recognition by the Brits heralded a new era for pop after “years of deadening stagnation”.
“Her board-sweeping success is unlikely to mark a total sea change in popular music, but it might at least signify that the old gods can be toppled, generational lines can be drawn – and music can have the appearance of moving on,” he wrote for The Independent.

Well, we’re in the New Year with resolutions being made, then broken at break-neck speed. Friends have already regretted committing themselves to weeks of denial and hard labor while more attainable goals, that missed becoming resolutions, languish. I’d point and laugh, but I’ve had my share of resolution failures and I understand these well intended hopes and dreams.
Without falling into the traditional resolution trap, my crochet circle of 5 habitual hookers has decided on a group effort. Since we have discussed volunteer opportunities, we’ll make items for local homeless shelters, youth hostels, and other organizations helping society’s less fortunate. This idea also helps us keep our yarn stashes under control while giving our finished items someplace to go! Since bulky yarns and quick projects seem trendy, finding suitable yarns should be easier than if we’d decided to crochet lace tablecloths or lady’s sweaters. Since hats and blankets are fairly straight forward, each contributor is limited only by their skill level or willingness to learn new stitches. Granny square lovers can add as many items as those preferring intricate crochet stitches and complex techniques. The only rule is that each item must block cold air.
Of all resolutions, this agreement touches my heart the most. Helping others using our own crafting skills beats starvation dieting any day! If you have considered using your crochet skills to help others, the Knitting & Crochet Guild is a great place to look for the perfect opportunity.
