Using the Camera GPS to find the Sunken Church In San Miguel

By niels-henriksen.blogspot.com
Published On :: Mon, 13 Feb 2012 15:26:00 +0000


I've now been in San Miguel de Allende for almost 6 weeks, about half way through our winter stay here. I have been enjoying all flavours and experiences that this city has to offer. I've even experienced some of the standard tourist events such as fighting with the Aztec gods (Montezuma of course). This laid me low for a few days but unfortunately after a few days when I thought I was getting better I developed a secondary infection that required visiting the doctor and getting medication. Now after 2 weeks I'm finally starting to get the spring back in my step and venturing back out. This does curtail your photography.


But back to the GPS item. Several weeks ago my friend Mike took me out to see the sunken church on the large shallow lake south-east of San Miguel.  The lake is really a reservoir and during the dry season, winter here, the church becomes fully visible.  The ground is still too mucky to be able to walk all the way out, but you can get close enough for some good shots.


If you look closely you can see some cacti growing out of the top portion of the church spire and therefore the church is not completely sunken.

What was really surprising when we first arrived was that we saw pelicans, which to many may not be unusual near water but this is at an elevation of 6,000ft and and 550 km from the nearest ocean.


I've been using on-camera GPS for almost 3 years, at least capturing the meta data with the image but I've never had to really use the info as until now I've always known exactly where I was. Not this time as this was new territory, so when I tried to use the Nikon format to enter into Google maps it took a while to find a site that would convert correctly.

Nikon gives a format such as:
Longitude:  20,52.1567N
Latitude:     100,50.1574W
Altitude:     1853m

Nikon is not DDD, MMM, SSS (Degrees, Minutes , Seconds but in format of DDD, MMM.MMMM)

Whereas Google maps required decimal degrees only in format DDD.DDDDD.

After some web searching I did find one site that would provide conversion in the Nikon format.

Nikon GPS Converter

In the Google map below the green arrow shows where I took the photo of the church above and the red arrow the top of church spire above the water.  This Google map (satellite view) was taken when the area was flooded. It is a bit strange to see that where you were standing is now underwater. A little north east of red arrow is a round ring. This is visible in the last photo of this article.


Towards the hill on the south-east in the map above is another church, not sunken but still abandoned.

Most of the foliage,except for the cacti at this time of year, is brown. This make a colour image rather drab. But converting to B&W and adding some contrast can make the photo stand out more.

In the image below the green cacti with a blue sky does make a colour version work better.


Below is the map and the green arrow shows where I was standing taking the photo above with the cacti.


As you can see the camera GPS is very accurate in capturing within feet where you where standing at the time when photograph is taken.
Another version of the sunken church where you can see the round ring that shows up beside the spire in the Google water map.

Auphonic Speech Recognition Engine using Whisper by OpenAI (Beta)

By auphonic.com
Published On :: Tue, 08 Nov 2022 08:55:26 +0000

Today we release our first self-hosted Auphonic Speech Recognition Engine using the open-source Whisper model by OpenAI!
With Whisper, you can now integrate automatic speech recognition in 99 languages into your Auphonic audio post-production workflow, without creating an external account and without extra costs!

Whisper Speech Recognition in Auphonic

So far, Auphonic users had to choose one of our integrated external service providers (Wit.ai, Google Cloud Speech, Amazon Transcribe, Speechmatics) for speech recognition, so audio files were transferred to an external server, using external computing powers, that users had to pay for in their external accounts.

The new Auphonic Speech Recognition is using Whisper, which was published by OpenAI as an open-source project. Open-source means, the publicly shared GitHub repository contains a complete Whisper package including source code, examples, and research results.
However, automatic speech recognition is a very time and hardware-consuming process, that can be incredibly slow using a standard home computer without special GPUs. So we decided to integrate this service and offer you automatic speech recognition (ASR) by Whisper processed on our own hardware, just like any other Auphonic processing task, giving you quite some benefits:

  • No external account is needed anymore to run ASR in Auphonic.
  • Your data doesn't leave our Auphonic servers for ASR processing.
  • No extra costs for external ASR services.
  • Additional Auphonic pre- and post-processing for more accurate ASR, especially for Multitrack Productions.
  • The quality of Whisper ASR is absolutely comparable to the “best” services in our comparison table.

How to use Whisper?

To use the Auphonic Whisper integration, you just have to create a production or preset as you are used to and select “Auphonic Whisper ASR” as “Service” in the section Speech Recognition.
This option will automatically appear for Beta and paying users. If you are a free user but want to try Whisper: please just ask for access!

When your Auphonic speech recognition is done, you can download your transcript in different formats and may edit or share your transcript with the Auphonic Transcript Editor.
For more details about all our integrated speech recognition services, please visit our Speech Recognition Help and watch this channel for Whisper updates – soon to come.

Why Beta?

We decided to launch Whisper for Beta and paying users only, as Whisper was just published end of September and there was not enough time to test every single use case sufficiently.
Another issue is the required computing power: for suitable scaling of the GPU infrastructure, we need a beta phase to test the service while we are monitoring the hardware usage, to make sure there are no server overloads.

Conclusion

Automatic speech recognition services are evolving very quickly, and we've seen major improvements over the past few years.
With Whisper, we can now perform speech recognition without extra costs on our own GPU hardware, no external services are required anymore.

Auphonic Whisper ASR is available for Beta and paying users now, free users can ask for Beta access.
You are very welcome to send us feedback (directly in the production interface or via email), whether you notice something that works particularly well or discover any problems.
Your feedback is a great help to improve the system!

Setting up a Python Project Using asdf, PDM, and Ruff

By www.viget.com
Published On :: Tue, 17 Sep 2024 10:00:00 -0400

When I was tasked with looking into alternative ways to set up a new Python project (not just using the good ol' pip and requirements.txt setup), I decided to try to find the tools that felt best to me, as someone who writes Python and Ruby. On this journey, I found a way to manage dependencies in Python that felt as good as bundler, among other great tools.

The Runtime Version Manager #

asdf has been my primary tool of choice for language version management for multiple years now. The ease of adding plugins and switching between versions of those plugins at a local or global level has saved me massive amounts of time compared to alternatives.

If you've never set up asdf before, follow the instructions here to get it set up. For reference, I use fish for my shell, so I installed asdf using the "Fish & Git" section.

Once you have asdf on your machine, the next step is to add the plugins you need for your project. Plugins are the actual tools that you want to manage the versions of, like NodeJS, Python, Ruby, etc. For the purposes here, I'll start with adding the plugin for Python:

asdf plugin-add python

Once you have added a plugin to asdf, you're ready to install various versions of that plugin. Since we just installed Python, we can install the version we want:

asdf install python 3.12.4
# OR if we want to just use whatever the latest version is
asdf install python latest

Once the version you want is installed, you can tell asdf to use that version in the current directory by running:

asdf local python 3.12.4
# OR 
asdf local python latest

depending on which version of python you installed.

The Dependency Manager #

In the past, I just used pip install and requirements file(s) to handle most of this. I knew of other options, like pipx or pipenv, but I still have never tried using them. I was more interested in finding a dependency manager that did these things in a significantly different way than what I was used to with pip.

Therefore, I wanted to find something that felt similar to bundler for Ruby. Luckily, very early on in my journey here, I found PDM.

Upon reading what PDM did, I immediately decided to try it out and get a feel for what it offered. Some key notes for me that piqued my interest:

  • Lockfile support
  • Can run scripts in the "PDM environment"
    • pdm run flask run -p 3000 executes the normal flask run -p 3000 command within the context of your installed packages with PDM.
    • In other words, it adheres to PEP 582 and allows you to run project commands without needing to be in a virtual environment, which to me is a big plus.
  • Similar commands to bundler
    • pdm run => bundle exec
    • pdm install => bundle install
    • pdm add <package> => bundle add <gem-name>
      • Note: My workflow was almost always to just add gem <gem-name> to the Gemfile rather than using bundle add, but there is no direct 1:1 equivalent of a Gemfile with PDM.

Installing PDM #

PDM has its own asdf plugin, so let's just use that here as well! Running:

asdf plugin-add pdm

adds the plugin itself to asdf, and running:

asdf install pdm latest 
# can replace 'latest' with a specific version number here too

installs the latest version of PDM. Finally, set the local version with:

asdf local pdm latest
✦Side note about asdf local
  asdf local creates a .tool-versions file (if it doesn't already exist) in the current working directory, and appends the plugin and version number to it. At this point, the directory in which you ran asdf local python 3.12.4 and asdf local pdm latest should have that .tool-versions file, and the contents should be a line each for Python and PDM with their associated version numbers. This way, if someone else pulls down your project, they can just run asdf install and it will install the versions of those plugins, assuming the user has the necessary plugins added themselves.

Now that we have PDM and Python set up, we're ready to use PDM to install whichever packages we need. For simplicity, let's set up a simple Flask app:

pdm add flask flask-sqlalchemy flask-htmx

This line adds Flask, Flask-SQLAlchemy and Flask HTMX. Flask is a web application framework, Flask-SQLAlchemy adds SQLAlchemy and its ORM, and HTMX builds on top of HTML to allow you to write more powerful HTML where you'd otherwise need some JS. Side note, but HTMX is really cool. If you haven't used it before, give it a go! I'm even a part of the exclusive group of HTMX CEOs.

Linting and Formatting #

Finally, I wanted to find a way to avoid pulling in multiple packages (commonly, Black, Flake8 and isort) to handle linting and formatting, which felt to me like it could be the job of one tool.

Pretty quickly I was able to find Ruff which did everything I wanted it to, along with being really fast (thanks Rust ????).

First things first, we need to install Ruff. Since it's a Python package, we can do it using PDM:

pdm add ruff

Once it's installed, we can use ruff check and ruff format to lint and format, respectively. Note that since we installed via PDM, we need to prepend those ruff calls with pdm run:

pdm run ruff check --fix

This runs the linter and fixes any issues found (if they are automatically fixable). The linter can also be run in --watch mode:

pdm run ruff check --watch

which re-lints on every saved change and tells you of any new errors it finds.

The Ruff formatter is similar to use:

pdm run ruff format

which will automatically fix any formatting issues that it finds and can fix. If you want to use this in CI (which you should), you can use the --check flag that will instead exit with a non-zero status code, rather than actually formatting the files:

pdm run ruff format --check

Bringing it all together #

Working with projects set up this way is much easier than how I used to do it. Using tools like asdf, PDM, and Ruff rather than pyenv, pip, and Black/Flake8/isort make both setting up projects and pulling down/installing existing projects more straightforward. I hope the contents of this article are helpful to anyone interested in setting up Python projects in a similar way.

Innovative Branding and Visual identity using Google Slides assets

Innovative Branding and Visual identity using Google Slides assets

abduzeedo

Montag School’s branding fuses corporate trust with creative appeal, using Google Slides assets to reach diverse audiences.

Creating a brand identity for an educational institution like Montag School requires balancing the rigorous standards of corporate audiences with the appeal needed to engage a younger, learning-focused crowd. In this project by Monga Design, Montag School’s visual branding comes to life with a thoughtful, dual-purpose approach that reaches across the boundaries of institutional professionalism and educational creativity.

Montag School’s goal was to represent itself as a trustworthy, contemporary leader in personalized education. This meant moving away from conventional, corporate-heavy design toward a more flexible and approachable brand image. The resulting visual identity integrates both institutional authority and a fresh, dynamic appeal, capturing the trustworthiness expected in corporate circles while aligning with the openness and innovation desired in education.

One of the project’s standout qualities is its focus on balance. By addressing both institutional credibility and the youthful appeal needed for online and in-person classes, the branding reinforces Montag’s positioning as a leader in educational innovation. The design combines strong visual cues—such as clean lines and modern typography—with a vibrant color palette, adding depth to both the brand’s academic and professional facets.

Leveraging Google Slides for Visual Consistency

An innovative aspect of this project is the use of Google Slides as a foundational tool for asset creation. This choice reflects an understanding of Montag’s operational needs and the educational landscape’s demands for accessibility and efficiency. By designing custom graphics within Google Slides, Monga Design created a versatile, cost-effective solution for maintaining consistent visuals across various educational materials. Google Slides not only provides easy customization but also aligns with the widespread use of this tool in both corporate and learning environments, allowing Montag to produce branded materials in-house without requiring extensive software training.

Montag School’s branding thoughtfully considers its diverse target audiences. For in-company courses and corporate conventions, the brand maintains a polished, professional tone, ensuring credibility and trust in a business context. Simultaneously, for students attending online and in-person classes, the brand incorporates a more engaging, youthful look. The graphics, colors, and animations appeal to students by creating an approachable and modern learning environment.

Monga Design introduced animations for key assets to add a layer of interactivity to Montag’s branding. These animations, crafted by Clint Studio, enhance the brand’s visual appeal while ensuring they resonate with both young learners and seasoned professionals. This visual dynamism strengthens the brand’s reach by making it adaptable to the changing demands of the educational landscape.

The design team approached this branding project with a detailed, collaborative process. Their “Visual Thermometer” meeting—a strategy to explore visual possibilities rather than set rigid creative guidelines—proved essential for crafting a design that was both client-centered and creative. By aligning client preferences with design expertise, they established a visual identity that resonates on multiple levels, providing a cohesive experience for all audiences.

Montag School’s branding successfully bridges the gap between education and business, providing a clear, attractive, and credible visual identity that aligns with the brand’s values. By balancing a contemporary, accessible aesthetic with the professionalism expected in corporate circles, Montag School positions itself as a modern leader in education, with a visual identity that can grow with its expanding audience.

Consequences of America's Affordable Housing Crisis on People, Pets, and Animal Shelters

By events.tufts.edu
Published On :: 18 Nov 2024 17:00:00 GMT

Nov 18, 2024, 12pm EST

This seminar is part of the Animal Matters Seminar Series presented by Tufts Center for Animals and Public Policy.

Housing insecurity for tenants has increased in severity in the last several years as rents have skyrocketed and eviction rates have, in many cities, climbed higher than even pre-pandemic levels, according to a 2024 Harvard study. Today, more renters than ever are experiencing at least moderate rent burden as unaffordability in the rental market hit an all-time high in 2022.  Housing insecurity directly impacts peoples' ability to acquire and keep pets for life. There is a small, but growing body of research to better understand the impact of rental housing conditions on pets, pet owners, and animal shelters in the U.S. and how this issue relates to broader affordable housing and tenants’ rights social justice advocacy.

This presentation will share the results of three research projects, co-authored by our guest speaker Lauren Loney, a licensed attorney, researcher, and advocate crafting policies and lobbying on a variety of issues at local, state, and federal levels. Her talk will address the impact of restrictive pet policies in rental housing on pets, animal shelters, and the tenants who love them. Join us to learn about trends in pet relinquishment due to housing issues and several programmatic tools that may be most useful to mitigate the flow of these pets into animal shelters.
