|This is a Summer of Code 2011 student page
|Project: SoC_Ideas_Multiplayer_Improvements_2011
Zaroth - Multiplayer Improvements
Since the idea with Simple content manager may turn out to be redundant, I turned my attention to SoC_Ideas_Multiplayer_Improvements_2011. This is a bunch of smaller projects with the common theme of improving multiplayer rather than one big project.
Description of my vision of these improvements can be found here: Zaroth Multiplayer Improvements
Previous description
Zaroth - Simple Content Manager
I plan on writing a Qt (preferably PyQt) tool used to simplify and provide a layer of abstraction for common VCSes, as described here: SoC Ideas Simple Content Manager
Description of my proposal on how to tackle this project can be found here: Zaroth Simple Content Manager
1.1) Write a small introduction to yourself.
Hello! I'm Łukasz and if you seriously want to read through whole this long questionnaire and my answers to it, you'll probably get to know me and my tastes quite well. I hope I will be able to meet and get to know you as well. Nice to meet you!
1.2) State your preferred email address.
1.3) If you have chosen a nick for IRC and Wesnoth forums, what is it?
1.4) Why do you want to participate in summer of code?
Most of my reasons for joining GSoC at Wesnoth community are already listed in answers to questions 4.3 and 4.6. As for my reasons not related to the project's specifics and the will to become a more active member of Wesnoth community... What can I say? Recognizability of Google Summer of Code participants among Polish employers? Fun and satisfaction that I can have designing a nice and useful UI? All of them, probably.
1.5) What are you studying, subject, level and school?
Electrical Engineering and Telecommunication, 6th semester (I'm writing my bachelor's thesis in 7th - that is, winter semester 2011/2012), Warsaw University of Technology. Currently at a year-long (until Sep 2011) student exchange at Technische Universität München, Germany.
1.6) What country are you from, at what time are you most likely to be able to join IRC?
Right now I live in Germany, and I will probably be on IRC anywhere between 5:30 and 22:00 GMT (although certainly not active all of the specified time) from Monday to Friday. Since I like to make trips on weekends, I may be mostly not available during them.
1.7) Do you have other commitments for the summer period ? Do you plan to take any vacations ? If yes, when.
In answer to question 4.4 I wrote a more elaborate answer for that. But in short: my exam period is in August, except that I plan no vacation.
2.1) What programs/software have you worked on before?
Aside from university projects, not too much. My two internships so far concerned mostly robotics / cognitivistic stuff (mostly Matlab/C++), so there are not many things to show that are very relevant to this proposal.
Except maybe for this little tool that I quickly wrote using Python, PyQt and sqlite - our team needed a tool which would help some not tech-savvy people get the images with desired properties from the IAPS database. It took only a bit shorter than a week, but long enough for me to fell in love with simplicity of the tools I used. Therefore, I would gladly use them again in this project and further develop my skills in this area.
I also got accepted a small patch to Wesnoth, but that was long ago and under a different nick, so I don't consider it very relevant. I started submitting patches right now, however, and already some got accepted (see 2.6)
2.2) Have you developed software in a team environment before? (As opposed to hacking on something on your own)
Yes, as partially mentioned above, during my internships I got to design, discuss and develop things in team.
2.3) Have you participated to the Google Summer of Code before? As a mentor or a student? In what project? Were you successful? If not, why?
I have no prior GSoC experience.
2.4) Are you already involved with any open source development projects? If yes, please describe the project and the scope of your involvement.
As mentioned before, I got a small patch with a feature to Wesnoth accepted long time ago. Got two small patches with features to Konversation (IRC client) accepted as well. Tried to put some life in the dev community and get started with Globulation2 code, but after all the codebase turned out to be a bit too intimidating for me and there are not many active devs to help (I hope that I will get around to coding something for Glob2 one day, it's a nice OSS game). A lot of hanging around on IRC channels of #gentoo, #kde, #wesnoth, #glob2, asking questions and sometimes answering them.
Not yet an official developer of any OSS project, sadly. I hope to change it this year :-)
2.5) Gaming experience - Are you a gamer?
Yes, however now a lot less active than a few years ago. (and it probably won't change again, the childhood has ended, it's time to work now...)
2.5.1) What type of gamer are you?
It's kind of hard to give a good answer for such a general question... Casual? Amateur? Fun-seeking? I guess the answers to questions below describe my "gamer type" better.
2.5.2) What type of games?
I'm playing regularly just two computer games: Go and Wesnoth. (and it didn't change for about a year now) I also had a knack for being a Dungeon Master in RPG games (and played cRPGs as well), but right now I don't have time anymore for the time-consuming preparations (or time-consuming gameplays in cRPGs) that DMing in RPGs need, so I switched to games that have shorter and more predictable playtime.
I am also fond of boardgames: Go, Settlers of Catan, Tigris & Euphrates, Arkham Horror to name a few. They don't need endless preparations for the game master and also provide a fun way to spend time with friends.
So, strategy games. If I had more time, I'd love to play more RPGs.
2.5.3) What type of opponents do you prefer?
Obviously having a sense of humour and easy-going, playing against trolls / arrogant people isn't fun. But apart from these obvious qualities, I like opponents who comment on the game afterwards (so I can more easily learn from my mistakes in Go / Wesnoth / other strategies), play along with fantasy theme or make the game in other ways more enjoyable.
2.5.4) Are you more interested in story or gameplay?
I can enjoy both. But if I was forced to choose, I'd say story. A really good story can sometimes make me play a game even with a gameplay I don't normally enjoy (i.e. FPS, platformers etc.)
2.5.5) Have you played Wesnoth? If so, tell us roughly for how long and whether you lean towards single player or multiplayer.
We do not plan to favor Wesnoth players as such, but some particular projects require a good feeling for the game which is hard to get without having played intensively.
I know Wesnoth for roughly 3-4 years (I remember it well when I first discovered Wesnoth 1.2 in my openSUSE repository) and have sporadically played from time to time. This year I stumbled upon one of neki's videos, which ignited the will to play Wesnoth once again. I made a ladder account, started playing regularly, posting on the forum and generally became a more active member of the Wesnoth ecosystem :-)
And obviously I lean towards multiplayer - all games are more fun when played with other people! I finished most of the campaigns because I was interested in the Wesnoth world's history and other stories people tell with their campaigns, but when stuck, usually I didn't waste time restarting the whole scenario - debug mode or going just a turn-few turn earlier was usually the way I did it. The fun in campaigns for me lies in story/character development, not in "beating" scenarios or AIs. I much prefer to "beat" and talk to real people. (I guess I will have to change this attitude a bit if I decide to create a campaign, however - there are players who enjoy mostly gameplay after all and one can't neglect it)
2.6) If you have contributed any patches to Wesnoth, please list them below. You can also list patches that have been submitted but not committed yet and patches that have not been specifically written for GSoC. If you have gained commit access to our SVN (during the evaluation period or earlier) please state so.
- MP debug logging (accepted) - proposed by Crab_
- changing WML default behaviour (accepted) - idea from forum, short exercise in codebase navigation
- removing own_side (accepted) - some redundancy code I found while writing control panel patch
- GUI2 design document readability improvements (accepted) - when I was learning basics of GUI2, this patch "just happened" due to my ability to see some typos/grammar mistakes as I read (I'm a guy who often makes notes of typos/errors as he reads books and later sends them to the author as an errata)
- MP campaign support (not intended for inclusion) - hack that can prove that "I'm able to hack my way through the code to get the result I want to happen", according to Crab_ ;-)
- first version of the control panel (accepted) - first implementation of the control panel idea
- get_side_color() convenience function (accepted) - when I was writing the above patch, I suddenly found that I lacked a function in team.hpp, so I added it :-)
- I gained commit access to Wesnoth SVN on 13th of April.
- unification of side= behaviour (waiting for test)
- I got one other patch accepted to Wesnoth long time ago, however under a different nick (PM me for details).
Communication skills
3.1) Though most of our developers are not native English speakers, English is the project's working language. Describe your fluency level in written English.
As it can hopefully be seen in this proposal, I have no problems with written English. If needed, I can prove this with a CPE, but I think that level of formality is not necessary here.
3.2) What spoken languages are you fluent in?
In order from most to least fluent:
- Polish (mother tongue)
- English (proficient)
- German (communicative)
- Russian (I'm not very good at Russian itself yet, but thanks to Polish-Russian likeliness I can easily communicate with Russians by adding a Polish word when I'm missing a Russian one)
3.3) Are you good at interacting with other players? Our developer community is friendly, but the player community can be a bit rough.
I have no problems with player interaction, I always try to be as understanding of the other side and amicable as possible. However, I do like fantasy-themed non-vulgar trash talking when playing Wesnoth games (as in "get back to your stinky caves, you puny mushroom-eaters (dwarves)"), , it adds a bit spice to the game for me - but I stop it as soon as I see that the other player is not interested / offended / not getting along with that.
3.4) Do you give constructive advice?
I always try to give reasons when critiquing - and improvement ideas as well, if I have any. If that is also what you understand by "constructive advice", we can agree that I always try to give constructive advice, can't we?
3.5) Do you receive advice well?
Again, it depends on the definition of "receiving advice well". I try not to easily discard (i.e. without at least looking into it) any advice that goes from people who are clearly superior to me, either in skill, experience or position. However, I'm also prone to not listening to "advice" when it's clear that the author didn't take any time to get acquainted with the topic.
3.6) Are you good at sorting useful criticisms from useless ones?
At areas that I'm at least a bit proficient in (e.g. coding), sure. But as far as e.g. art goes, I couldn't tell pillow shading from banding ;-)
3.7) How autonomous are you when developing ? Would you rather discuss intensively changes and not start coding until you know what you want to do or would you rather code a proof of concept to "see how it turn out", taking the risk of having it thrown away if it doesn't match what the project want?
It heavily depends on my "gut feeling" at the moment. If I feel that, based on my current knowledge, there is a clear way how to solve a problem, I won't wait until my teammate/mentor/boss appears and comments on it before starting implementing it. If it's not the case, I heavily prefer to have my ideas thoroughly discussed - nobody likes when his work is thrown away.
However, regardless of whether I implement my own or previously discussed ideas, I always prefer to communicate what I'm doing right now to my teammates to prefer doubling our work / reinventing the wheel.
Due to Ivanovic's remark, moved this part to Zaroth Multiplayer Improvements
Practical considerations
5.1) Are you familiar with any of the following tools or languages?
- Subversion (used for all commits) - sure, however after I managed to wrap my head around thinking in Git, SVN looks a bit basic
- C++ (language used for all the normal source code) - yes, it was my first programming language and so far most heavily used by me
- STL, Boost, Sdl (C++ libraries used by Wesnoth) - STL - good knowledge, Boost, SDL - little knowledge, enough to find what I need and read more on it to get started quickly
- Python (optional, mainly used for tools) - after writing my last tool in PyQt I can say my skill's more than basic, it's average, but not yet very pythonic and proficient
- build environments (eg cmake/scons) - CMake - basic, scons - just enough to build something with scons :-))
- WML (the wesnoth specific scenario language) - basic
- Lua (used in combination with WML to create scenarios) - none at all yet, but willing to learn and thanks to an add-on by Aethaeryn it will probably go fast.
5.2) Which tools do you normally use for development? Why do you use them?
For quick and dirty editing I use vim. For bigger projects I use Eclipse (java), KDevelop (my newly found love as C++ IDE) or Kate (Python, I may switch to KDevelop). Tools I use regardless of project are:
- ack (irreplaceable for me, I love to use it for orientation in bigger projects)
- Git (after the steep learning curve of DCVS, it's really nice and powerful)
- Redmine (I would get lost in my personal projects without this)
- Google (90 % of my questions are answered there)
- IRC (remaining 10 % of my coding problems can be usually quickly solved by friendly people from relevant Freenode channel)
- Doxygen/Javadoc (code docs), TeX (design docs), Inkscape/graphviz (diagrams) (because writing/formatting documentation by hand is so tedious)
5.3) What programming languages are you fluent in?
C/C++ (fluent), Python, Java, Matlab (averagely fluent)
5.4) Would you mind talking with your mentor on telephone / internet phone? (...)
I have no problem with that, but Skype is probably cheaper and more convenient, unless my mentor is from Germany, they have pretty cheap calls here :-)

Make your streams sound better with these great microphones
We're a global team that relies on microphones to communicate with one another, record podcasts and videos, and more. We've used hundreds of microphones, ranging from the budget-friendly to studio professional.
The Blue Yeti is often recommended if you're simply playing games and need to communicate with friends and guildmates. It's also a fantastic microphone for streamers too, thanks to included features, sound quality, and ease-of-use. It's also not too expensive.
Our pick
Blue Yeti
The best for streamers who don't want any hassle
This professional microphone is built around three condenser capsules and includes bi-directional, omnidirectional, and stereo recording options. It's not only fully compatible with Windows, but also rocks physical controls for volume, gain, and even a mute button.
Who should buy this microphone
Whether you're an enthusiastic gamer, part-time streamer, or a "filthy casual" the Blue Yeti is a microphone worth purchasing for the sound quality alone.
Is it a good time to buy this microphone?
Absolutely. Microphones don't really get better over time with subsequent revisions, especially not regarding sound recording quality. Picking up the Blue Yeti now will not see you left out down the line should a new version be released. You'll be able to enjoy excellent sound quality regardless. If you need a microphone right now, go ahead and buy one.
Reasons to buy
- Latency-free playback
- Great sound quality
- Bi-directional, omnidirectional, and stereo
- USB interface
- Compatible with microphone mounts
Reasons not to buy
- No XLR support
High-quality audio capture
Streaming to an audience requires you to be entertaining to watch, good (or not so good) at games, and a microphone to capture your voice. A cheap $10 headset with a built-in microphone would suffice, but it won't provide the best experience for viewers who tune in. To take your streaming game to the next level, you need to purchase a microphone that offers a far superior sound quality.
The Blue Yeti is one such microphone, and it happens to not cost a small fortune. The excellent sound capture results in crisp audio to allow your audience to hear everything clearly. It's also incredibly easy to use — there's no need to purchase a complex sound system thanks to the USB interface. Simply plug and talk.
The Blue Yeti sounds great and won't blow your budget
If you're not a fan of using the included stand, which only raises the microphone slightly off the desk, the Yeti can be hooked up to a microphone mount or arm. This will allow you to configure the microphone in a custom setup. You might also want to pick up a pop filter for even better sound quality.
Alternatives to the Blue Yeti
The Yeti is a basic choice, so it's not for everyone. We've rounded up several alternatives that will be just fine for streaming and other use cases.
Audio-Technica ATR2500
A stunning, affordable microphone
Perfect for gaming or streaming online, Audio-Technica's ATR2500 USB microphone delivers high-quality, professional sound for any video game experience and at a great price too.
The microphone comes with a headphone jack that allows you to listen directly as you record or talk live (just like the Blue Yeti), as well as adjustable volume control for your headphones. The ATR2500 cardioid polar pattern also helps stop any feedback or distortion from the sides or the rear of the unit as you record with your preferred software.
Gamer's delight
HyperX QuadCast
Almost perfect
HyperX opted to include everything you need with the QuadCast, including a built-in pop filter and pre-installed shock mount. Use the bundled stand or hook the mic up to your own mount.
HyperX is a reliable brand that produces some killer PC accessories and gaming hardware, including some excellent headsets. The company's first attempt at a standalone microphone resulted in the QuadCast and you should consider it for your gaming setup.
Value pick
Samson G Track Pro
When you need the best for your money, go Samson
An excellent choice for streamers, it's also great for musicians since you can plug an instrument directly into the microphone.
What you get with the Samson G Track Pro is a great quality condenser microphone with a built-in USB audio interface. That means superb sound along with a mixer on the front to tune the levels of the mic, your headphones, and instrument. You've got three polar patterns, mono or 2-track recording modes, and headphone monitoring — all inside a microphone that's built like a tank.
Portable pick
Razer Seiren X
Affordable, portable, and packed full of features.
The Razer Seiren X is Razer's most affordable microphone and comes with a built-in shock mount — built inside the microphone, no less.
When you find yourself switching locations frequently and need a microphone that can be taken along for the ride, the Razer Seiren X is one you can rely on. Thanks to its built-in shock mount, this microphone can quickly be attached to different mounts without much hassle. It has a super-cardioid pickup pattern which is more focused on your voice and does a solid job of isolating background noise. Throw in zero-latency monitoring through headphones and you've got a great package at a great price.
Bottom line
The Blue Yeti is a solid microphone that offers high-quality recording for any streamer. That said, it's not the best solution for every streamer, which is where our alternative picks come into play.

How, if at all, should the political institutions of the modern state express and secure the liberty and equality of citizens? What is the political significance of private property? Is world history to be understood as progress towards one best form of government - capitalist democracy, perhaps, or communism? What forces drive history? We shall address these and other timeless political questions through close reading and rigorous analysis of classic texts in the history of Western political thought. Authors to be studied will include Kant, Hegel, Marx, Tocqueville, John Stuart Mill, and Nietzsche. Prerequisite: one previous course in political theory or political philosophy. The course is designed to be the third in a three-semester sequence on the history of political thought, and students are encouraged but not required to take the courses in chronological sequence.

I just got back from Cruise Night. It's one of the best things Glendale does.
It's held on Brand Boulevard downtown.
It's always fun, always dancing, always classic rock 'n' roll, always hot, always people, but most of all, always wonderful cars.
Fewer cars, fewer people this year, I thought, but I was there early, and this also is the weekend of Carmageddon, the weekend of huge freeway closures, so lots of people are staying home.
But I'm on my own today, since my sweetie is off doing one of her gigs, so I went.
After all, I had to get my annual Cruise Night T-shirt.
Also, I shot a few pictures. I thought I'd share just a couple of them here on the California Files. After all, what's more California than cool cars?
So here are four of them. Careful now, the last one is tight, don't miss it.
Nope, no Porsches at all. Some Jags. A Lancia Stratos, of all things. One BMC Mini. All the Chevies and Fords you can handle. One '30s Caddie with a flathead V-8, all original. Mustangs, a few Camaros, some fake Cobras plus one that looked to be real. All in all, pretty cool.

DETAILSThe name "Millefiori" (thin glass polychrome canes) comes from the various geometrical and floral patterns present in the center of the same. The "Millefiore", which are often identified with the "Murrina" itself, are small objects enchantingly manufactured that still represent a mystery for many people due to their fine decorations. For this reason "Gli Ori di Venezia" thought of the idea of offering, to those who desire to approach these small jewels for the first time, a brief story and some fundamental moments of the long and complex manufacturing of the "Murrine". The use of the glass rods goes back to the Phoenician and Alexandrian Age. It can be found in the vases and bowls from the Antique Roman Period. In the XVI Century this technique came back to rise to become art-work thanks to the Murano glass Masters in the beginning of the XIX Century. Decorate policarbonate for this elegant bookmark.
Authentic Venetian glass artwork.
Sumptuous handmade page marker for when you take a break from reading, the perfect item for all those who love authentic Italian craft and style.

Alternate Title
Seasonal Migration of Immature Kemp's Ridley Turtles (Lepidochelys kempii Garman) Along the West Coast of Florida
Six immature Kemp's ridley turtles (Lepidochelys hempii) were monitored via satellite telemetry to investigate their winter migration on the west coast of Florida. All turtles departed from Cedar Keys in late Nov., migrated southward in Dec., and overwintered in offshore waters from Anclote Keys to Captiva Island during Jan., 120 km and 296 km from Cedar Keys, respectively. Turtles migrated northward in Feb. and began returning to Cedar Keys in March. Five of the turtles occupied relatively small (3.8-48.0 km2) postmigration foraging ranges through Aug. The sixth turtle returned to Waccasassa Bay, east of Cedar Keys, but locational data were insufficient for postmigration analysis. Mean sea surface temperature (SST) used by turtles in Nov. decreased from 23.6 ± 1.9 C during the first 2 weeks to 17.1 ± 1.5 C during the latter 2 weeks, and corresponded to their departure from Cedar Keys. Mean SST used by turtles in Jan. increased from 14.0 ± 1.6 C during the first 2 weeks to 16.6 ± 1.4 C during the latter 2 weeks, and corresponded to the onset of their northward migration. Turtles traveled up to 13-56 km offshore to maximum depths of 15-31 m. Higher proportions of satellite location classes requiring four or more uplinks were obtained during winter months suggesting that turtles spent more time at the surface during their migrations. Further studies are needed to determine possible size-specific differences in depth use and migration patterns, to identify benthic habitats used by Kemp's ridleys during winter migrations, and to determine what anthropogenic impacts occur within their migratory routes along the Florida coast.

The global automobile accessories market is vast. It stretches from North America – which has some of the biggest car manufacturing names in the world – to Europe and across Asia into China. The automobile accessories manufacturers have been able to cash in on the relatively smooth economic surge across the globe. The trend can be observed worldwide. Though there is growth in the automobile sales, the growth rate is enormous in the sale of spares and accessories. There are many factors attributing to this marked difference. Perhaps the single biggest contributor for growth of automobile sector in developed and emerging markets is that automobile accessories manufacturers are enthusiastic and passionate about the car accessories and are closer to consumers. They are able to introduce newer trends at a faster pace. Second reason is the vehicle cost. Vehicles being expensive, people lay more stress on renovating by using car accessories and spares.
In affluent markets like Europe – Austria for example — people like to spend on automotive and accessories. Certain researches have shown that Austrians spend over $2 billion yearly on automotive parts and accessories. The European automotive aftermarket is worth US $850 bn, representing 30% of the global aftermarket. Forecasts indicate that the market for automobile accessories manufacturers will continue to expand.
The leading carmakers like DaimlerChrysler, Ford Motor, and General Motors — the three bigges — that have been historically at each others throats trying to outwit, outplay and outlast one another in the face of stiff competition have offlate been seen to veer towards the B2B market. The firms' e-business tasks such as business-to-business procurement, business-to-consumer sales and marketing and online navigational and car alarm technologies is increasingly moving away from their traditional suppliers to internet. DaimlerChrysler, like other traditional offline manufacturers, is looking to the Internet to streamline procurement and sales processes to cut costs.
Pertinently, China's auto parts exports have increased more than six fold in the last five years, nearly topping $1 billion recently and emerging as one of the fastest-growing categories of Chinese industrial products sold overseas. More than half of these auto parts go to the United States; most of the rest to Europe and Japan. The rise of Chinese auto parts exports is part of a much broader shift. China is moving up from basic goods toward higher-value industrial goods that pay better wages and is seen as effective competition to auto products from advanced industrialized countries like the United States.

Velp is my father's hometown, and where he lives again today after 40 years of living abroad in Hong Kong, Japan and South Africa. Just a few miles away from Velp is Arnhem, a charming little city on the Eastern side of the Netherlands and very close to the German border. It is home to the well known Arnhem Fashion Design School, where famous Dutch pret a porter designers Viktor & Rolf graduated in 1992.
Amsterdam is hands down my favorite city in the Netherlands, but I also love Arnhem because it's safer, smaller and more quaint. Typical of the Netherlands, the bicycle is a preferred mode of transport for people of all ages.
In true Dutch style, today's adventure started off with coffee (tea for me) and a biscuit before taking the bus to downtown Arnhem. It's all about spending quality time with my Papa when we visit Velp, but I did steal a wonderful hour to browse the shops and check out street fashion while the boys were reading and computing in a café.
On the street the number one look BY FAR is skinnies or leggings worn with flat or low heeled, mid-high or knee-high light grey, cream, tan and chestnut boots. Both slouchy and sleek. This was topped with a sweater, cropped leather jacket or trench coat and a statement scarf. Almost everyone is wearing a scarf – blokes too. Cross-body bags and flat shoulder totes were the order of the day.
If people aren't in skinnies or leggings , it's all about the skirt.
I saw quite a few people in white or off-white jeans with tan or chestnut boots. Some with denim shirts and tunic cardigans. Delicious! I'm definitely copying that look when I get home. And I just realised that tan boots (lighter than chestnut and darker than cream) are next on my boots shopping list. So fresh!
Lots of people were wearing trenches, in many different styles – from classic belted black and fun tomato red styles, to voluminous crinkle sateens in mushrooms and white. Not surprising given that they are perfect for the weather right now.
One surprise for me though: far fewer people in booties than I expected to see.
In the stores I saw a dominance of neutrally toned palettes, denim everything and one to two inch heels. In fact, the Netherlands is shoe heaven. I could have come home with 10 pairs of gorgeously fashionable and comfy shoes, but by summoning all my willpower I managed to limit myself to one pair. I opted for an eccentric looking black and purple studded kitten heel almond toed pump. They are going to be 8-hour city shoes for sure.
In addition to the neutrals, citron, coral and turquoise are strong colors. Styles that stand out are cropped pants, harem pants, camouflage, strong shoulders and tunic blouses.
So far I'm loving the fashion, but food is also shaping up to be a highlight of this trip. We had a fabulous Indonesian lunch (Indonesian food has virtually become the national food of the Netherlands), and finished off the day with tea and freshly made stroopwafels. Directly translated, "stroopwafel" means "syrup waffle", and that's exactly what they are: wafer thin waffles glued together with hot caramel syrup. A typical Dutch treat and one of my favourites.
Spring had sprung in Arnhem so although it wasn't cold, it certainly wasn't warm either. So out came one of my Springtime FFBO's – skinnies, light coloured boots, military blazer and bright accessories. Greg and Papa couldn't miss me with my bright new L.A.M.B. bag (in YLF colours, of course).

Owning a rifle can instantly make you realize that the technology in this industry is continuously advancing. Among the rage in this industry nowadays are prism scopes. They became popular because of their ease of use and unique performance, which is the reason why several rifle owners are now looking for the best prism scope.
Prism scopes are excellent budget alternatives for the expensive holographic and reflex sights. It is different from a conventional scope, which often utilizes a set of lenses as a means of articulating a distant object's image, magnifying it then putting a sight or dot as a means of pinpointing when you should take the shot.
A prism scope, on the other hand, offers an etched and illuminated reticle, which is not usually present in a conventional or standard red dot scope. You can expect the prism scope to provide good middle-range magnification, thereby outperforming the usual long-range scopes utilized for tactical rifles or weapons.
A good prism scope is also large enough that it comes etched with complex reticles, providing high levels of targeting information. If you are interested in prism scopes then you might want to check out these high-quality choices:

It provides such an advantage while still ensuring that the optic system used remains compact in size and easy to maneuver.

I am fond of how flexible this prism scope from Primary Arms is. I think the removable spacer integrated into it plays a huge role on how versatile and flexible it is as this specific feature tailors it to be compatible for various rifle platforms, including the AR-15 and the AK-47.
It also acts as a fantastic companion if you are in search of a scope, which you can use for various applications, including plinking, hunting, and competition. I also find its 7-mm exit pupil generous enough and capable of promoting a more forgiving and a brighter eye box.

I like the prism-based design used in this high-quality prism scope for AR-15 and any other rifles because it provides a compact optic without compromising its quality.

- What Magnification Do You Need?
- Factors to Consider when Buying a Prism Scope
- Conclusion
What is a Prism Scope?
Even if you are not closely keeping watch of riflescope technology, you must have at least heard of prism scopes. These new scopes have a compact design but still provide a huge sight picture, making them ideal for modern tactical rifles like the AR-15.
Unlike a traditional scope that contains several lenses within its housing to help focus on the image, high-quality prism scopes for AR use a prism to erect and focus the sight image. This allows prismatic optics to have more compact designs compared to traditional scopes.
Another notable feature of prism scopes is that they have illuminated reticles, making them similar to red-dot sights. However, unlike red-dot sights, some prism scopes can be magnified up to 5x zoom. To put it simply, they are like the hybrid offspring of traditional scopes and red-dot sights.
Although some prism scopes have magnification, they are mostly just for close-quarter combat, meaning they won't be of much help with long-range shots, so it is not ideal for sniper rifles.
Prism Scope vs. Red Dot
When it comes to CQB (close quarter combat), red dot sights are often the choice of many gun enthusiasts. However, prism scopes are catching up to them in popularity. Many find that the 3x prism scope for CQB is much better in comparison to red dot scopes.
The red dot scope has a slight advantage because it is easy to use then you do not have to do much. You just place the red dot over your target then pull the trigger. You do not even need to close your non-dominant eye to use the red dot. This means faster target acquisition.
However, prism scopes are not exactly slouches with regards to target acquisition. Although not as quick as red dot sights, prism scopes have a faster target acquisition compared to traditional rifle scopes.
There are a couple of features that put the prism scope above red dot sights as far as utility is concerned. First, many of them have magnification while all red dot sights do not. This means that you can zoom in on your target for a clearer shot.
Another advantage that prism scopes have is that they have etched reticles. This means that you can still use it when the batteries run out or if there happens to be any problem with the fiber optic. With a red dot sight, it is possible for the red dot to also disappear when the batteries run out.
What Makes a Great Prism Scope?
As with traditional rifle scopes, the best types of prism scopes are those that fit your needs. Although their uses are somewhat interchangeable, it is still best to get a scope that you are most comfortable using.
If you will be using the scope mainly for close quarter combat, you should consider getting one that does not have any magnification at all. The illuminated reticle and large field of view of the best 1x prism scope make it easier to focus on and engage your targets.
If you will be using it for short-range to medium-range shooting, or if you will be using the scope for hunting, you should get the scope with up to 5x magnification. The great thing about using prism scopes for hunting is that it is faster to acquire and focus on your target in comparison to using a traditional scope.
Another thing that makes a good prism scope is the etched reticle. Note that some of them have reticles that are etched into the lens. This adds a layer of insurance in case the scope runs out of batteries or if something goes wrong with the scope's fiber optic cable during a crucial time.
There are only a handful of situations that are quite as stressful as your reticle going out when you are about to lock on to your target. Compare that to a red dot sight that completely becomes worthless when the battery runs out. When that happens, you need to fall back to using your iron sights, which can be quite disorienting.
What Magnification Do You Need?
Most prism scopes do not have any magnification, meaning they have 1x fixed zoom. However, there are quite a number of manufacturers who provide prism scopes with different fixed magnification values. These scopes are fit for different situations. To ensure that you will be buying the right scope with the right magnification, you need to take into consideration where you will be using it the most.
Are you planning to use the rifle for CQB, like for home defense? Or do you want to use it for competitions that require quick reflexes and quick shooting? In both situations, note that scopes with 1x magnification are the best. These are perfect for such type of shooting because you do not have to make any adjustments. You can quickly lock onto your target, center the reticle then pull the trigger.
This magnification is also perfect if you own a shotgun for home defense. The illuminated reticle of a prism scope makes it easy to aim at your targets. Even if you are in a dark environment, you can still see the reticle and your target clearly. Also, take note that even if intruders try their best to hide in the shadows, you can still see and apprehend them.
If you are thinking of using the rifle for range shooting, anything that is between 3x and 5x magnification is the perfect choice. This power of magnification is just the right amount for hunting medium to large game animals. It provides just the right amount of zoom needed to get close to your target, but not so close that you risk getting seen.
Prism scopes with 5x magnification are also great for just plinking. This amount of zoom will allow you to shoot accurately up to 500 or 600 yards depending on the caliber of your ammunition of course.
Factors to Consider when Buying a Prism Scope
You need to be sure when you are shopping for a high-quality prism scope, mostly because there are no variable magnification out there. So this means that if you bought a scope with the wrong magnification for your use then you just wasted a lot of money.
To help you on your quest for the right prism scope, here are some factors you need to take into consideration:
What will you be using it for?
Prism scopes are not meant for long-range shooting. This means that if you have a high-powered sniper rifle, putting a prism scope on it will not allow you to maximize the capabilities of your firearm.
On the other hand, if you have a tactical rifle, like an AR-15, and you are looking for quick target acquisition, a reflex sight will be your best choice. However, if you are looking for a mix of the two – medium-range shooting and a somewhat fast tactical shooting capabilities, then you should get a prism scope.
The difficult part about buying prism scopes is that there are no variable magnification options for them. This is why you need to determine first where you will be usually using the rifle. If you will be using it mostly for tactical shooting and close-range combat then you will want the 1x or 2x magnification.
If you will be using it for hunting and/or shooting at targets from 200 to 300 yards or so then you will need the 5x magnification so you can get a clear shot at your target even if it is a bit far away.
Eye relief
This is one problem of prism scopes – they have rather small eye reliefs, which means that your eye needs to be a bit close to the scope. This is a problem when you are using a high-powered rifle because the eye relief of most prism scopes is not enough to protect you from the recoil.
If your rifle needs to have an eye relief of 5 inches or more, then you need to change your mind as the best eye relief for the prism scope is just around 3-4 inches. This is better used for semi-automatic rifles that do not have powerful ammunition.
This is probably where this type of scope shines. Unlike reflex scopes or red dot sights, prism scopes can accommodate a wide array of reticles. You can choose a scope with a basic duplex reticle or a German No.4 reticle for most shooting purposes. You can also get one with a BDC for medium range shooting.
Of course, you can also get a red dot reticle if you are planning to get a 1x magnification scope. Another thing that you might want to take into consideration is if the scope you are getting has an etched reticle. This will serve as insurance for when the scope suddenly runs out of batteries, thus, losing its illuminated reticle. Having an etched reticle means you can still use the scope to aim properly.
Lens coating
Just like traditional rifle scopes, it is important that you get a prism scope that has multi-coated lenses. Actually, it is almost impossible to even find scopes nowadays that have no anti-reflective coating. The only question here is how many layers of film are applied to the lenses. The more layers the lenses have, the better protected it is against reflected light and glare.
If you will be using this scope on a hunting rifle, it is best that it has excellent waterproofing and fog-proofing properties. It is very rare that you will be hunting in near perfect weather conditions. Most game animals will not even come out of their hiding holes if it is still bright outside. This is why most hunters stalk their prey either in the early morning or early evening when the weather is still quite chilly and there is usually a slight mist covering the land.
If your prism scope for hunting is not sufficiently weatherproof, moisture will get into it and make it unable to focus properly. It might even get so bad that you can get zero visibility from your scope. Check the weatherproofing and fog-proofing qualities of the scope you are planning to buy and make sure that it is the best prism scope for the money.
Although technically a reflex sight, a prism scope actually has more to offer. Aside from giving you a quick sight picture, it also gives you the choice to get a scope with up to 5x magnification capabilities. Reflex sights and red dot sights do not have that luxury.
In addition, most prism scopes these days have etched reticles, pretty much the same ones used in traditional rifle scopes. This allows them to still be usable even when their batteries are drained. If you are in need of a scope that provides the speed of reflex sights (or something close to it) but with the additional benefits of having magnification capabilities, then you definitely need to check out the best prism scope.

It's the final act in Bungie's "epic trilogy." The developers have likened it to The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. It's the sequel to the Xbox 1 game that made more money in a day than blockbuster movies make in a weekend. With Grand Theft Auto going multiplatform and Sony pumping the brakes on Gran Turismo, Halo 3 is unquestionably 2007's biggest exclusive gun. And Microsoft wants you to know that fact...now! The marketing bonanza for this first-person shooter has already begun, with its preorder campaign in full swing, a mystery-filled CG trailer, and this spring's multiplayer beta (for which you may have to pay to participate).
Now, about some of that trailer's ambiguities: Cagey Bungie reps posted on the Halo.Bungie.org message boards about the Chief's pistol, which in some images looks to be the overpowered M6D pistol from Halo: Combat Evolved. When one poster believed that the pistol was just the Magnum from Halo 2, a Bungie employee replied: "You sure? I've seen some other angles supporting the contrary belief which are far more convincing." The good pistol returns? "The official name for it is actually the MJOLNIR Spherical-Shield-that-bursts-from-ftefum-of-fhe-Jed-like-thermal-deto-nator. It doesn't actually roll off the tongue, so there's a high likelihood that the name will change." The "it" Bungie Community Lead Brian Jarrard is talking about is the trailer's greatest enigma: a big bubble that protects the supersoldier from an incoming salvo from one of the retooled Wraiths. Is this shield generator the secret to the X button? Is it just one item from a new school of ONI-powered gadgets? Ninjas from inside the "Pimps at Sea" (a codename for Halo 3) alpha said that, right now, "the X button is just Teamspeak." Expect that button's functionality to change...if Bungie wants their trilogy to end as strong as Mr. Jackson's did.

Game Reviews
A recent interview with composer Marty O'Donnell revealed that developer Bungie is indeed working on stuff besides Halo3 could itbethat long-rumored Xbox Live Arcade game?
Anyway, the studio's weekly website update at lbunqie.net has trickled out an obvious Halo3 bit: the return of the Warthog. As for not-so-obvious info, Franl O'Connor the ;iBungie Weekly Update scribe, has confirmed that, in addition to daily Halo 3 multiplayer sessions, the guys around the office are now meeting on a regular basis to run through some of the game's campaign scenarios. Also, Weapon Designer Tom Doy e recently confirmed the return of the Beam Rifle (the Covenant sniper). "The Covenant sniper is one of my favorite weapons it just feels so powerful," he said. I wanted to emphasize that in the new version, so we're adding some detail that will really show off the building energy in the weapon." Now, could you pay that much attention to improving the wimpy Needier?
And in Halo movie (2008) news, author DB Weiss sa d he's now working on a second draft of the script.

Scorpio Forecast for 2020
This is a year that falls right in the Goldilocks zone, where you have everything you need and nothing you don't. There are no major challenges and the planets that could bring challenges are working to your advantage. At the same time, the opportunities don't come with demands, with 2020 managing to steer right down the centre line of not being excessively expansive to a point where it would demand a lot or excessively challenging, where it would also demand a lot from you. The mix is just right. When we look for the main opportunities in any given year as a whole we look to Jupiter, planet of luck and expansion. And when we look for the main challenges of any year we look to Saturn, the hard taskmaster of the cosmos. For the first time in 20 years Saturn and Jupiter are together and this will always create a balance between opportunities and challenges, that focused in a single area of your life creates a lot of power and potential.
Two things make this significant for you. The first is that Jupiter and Saturn have met up in your communication sector, the only area of your chart that has a blanket impact on every aspect of your life. Saturn has been here for two years so you have already put in the hard work, especially when it comes to any communication issues or anything that required a lot of mental focus and discipline. Jupiter returned in December 2019 and until leaving on 20th December 2020, he is expanding your mind, your ability to think big and to create opportunities through all means of communication. This is expanding your mental capacities, making you smarter, more articulate and more able to grapple and understand multiple threads of information. This is something that will benefit every aspect of your life. The second significant factor is that Saturn and Jupiter aren't on their own with Pluto, your ruling planet here as well. As well as having your own man on the inside, Pluto allows you to think outside the square.
Every aspect of your life will benefit from this throughout 2020 but your relationships will be the real winner. That is not just because communication is essential for all relationships and more that with Uranus spending his first full year in your relationship sector, every planet moving through your communication sector will form a friendly aspect. In the meantime, there are certain points of the year where there is more concentrated focus on different areas of your life. While the focus is on home and family matters in the first two months of any year, there will be an additional and a lot more powerful focus on home, family and/or property matters from 22nd March to 2nd July. There are also some major developments on the job front throughout the whole of the second half of 2020, while the first six weeks of the year have the potential to be especially lucrative. The real power of this year is that in each of these areas you will be able to draw on intellectually savvy and articulate energy you have access to all year.

text: MedAg Hub Editor / Friday, November 1, 2019 / Categories: Uncategorized Medicinal Agriculture Hub Launched Building the future of medicinal agriculture in Australia The $24 million La Trobe-led Australian Research Council (ARC) Industry Transformation Research Hub for Medicinal Agriculture (ARC MedAg Hub) has been launched November 1st by the Federal Education Minister Dan Tehan. The ARC MedAg Hub combines academic and industry research and expertise to drive better cultivation, breeding and manufacturing practises to support Australia's medicinal agriculture industry and ultimately improve health outcomes for patients. The Hub will boost employment opportunities by contributing to an industry-ready workforce through education and research training across the TAFE and university sectors. La Trobe Vice-Chancellor Professor John Dewar said the Hub, located in La Trobe's Research and Innovation Precinct, was a key component of the University's $5 billion City of the Future plan. "The ARC MedAg Hub will bring together La Trobe's leading agri-medicine researchers with industry partners to drive innovation, new product development and employment in Australia's fast-growing medicinal agriculture sector" Professor Dewar said. Hub Director, Professor Tony Bacic, said initial research was focused on medicinal cannabis due to the considerable anecdotal evidence and growing community perceptions around its efficacy for a broad range of diseases and for pain control. "Our work is addressing legitimate concerns of health practitioners seeking evidence-based research into the quality, purity and efficacy of cannabis products," Professor Bacic said. "We need to better understand which cannabis extract components are active in reducing clinical symptoms of disease. We also need to understand factors leading to better production outcomes for key active components of medicinal cannabis." Professor Bacic said researchers from La Trobe and the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute (ONJCRI) are working to identify components of cannabis oil displaying anti-cancer activity in breast cancer cell cultures. "This research will improve our understanding of active components or component mixtures and form the basis for further pre-clinical or clinical trials. Future research will examine extracts from other medicinal plants including Australian species," Professor Bacic said. Hub Research Director, Professor Jim Whelan said another project aimed to develop hand-held devices able to accurately monitor plant health and growth. "We're working with industry partners Cann Group and Photon Systems Instruments to study how active components of medicinal cannabis plants respond to various environmental conditions. We are developing phenotyping and hyperspectral imaging hardware and software to identify how plants respond to a range of nutrient and other environmental conditions, with the ultimate aim of creating a hand-held detector for producers," Professor Whelan said. The ARC MedAg Hub was established in July 2019 at La Trobe's Melbourne campus with funding from the ARC, La Trobe and industry partners.
