![]() We also plan to partner with schools, especially K-12 schools around the nation, in order to spread and promote the creativity of stem+art.If you’re of the type who enjoys playing around with graphing calculator, then you might be interested in the so-called Desmos Art. In the future, we hope to further optimize the desmos art generator algorithm as it struggles with identifying some edge features and corner shapes of images. We also figured out how to use React.js, and how to implement it alongside an Express/Node.js backend server. We learned about computer vision techniques such as the Sobel edge detection, convolutions, and Gaussian filters. We are also proud that we were able to implement the desmos output into the web app for users to try out. Since we are beginners at React.js and at converting images into desmos graph format, we are proud of the fact that we worked together to upload a working prototype of the desmos art generator. Additionally, we were somewhat inexperienced with React, and it had caused us a lot of trouble at the beginning. Dealing with the ill-documented Potrace library was especially painful, since it was extremely picky about its inputs and had next to no example scripts online. The main challenge we ran into was the integration between the desmos interface and the replit web app. In addition, we utilized Canva to produce sleek and aesthetic UI/UX design. The algorithm for determining the edges and shapes in each drawing is called the Sobel edge detector (implemented in-house) and we utilized the potrace library to convert the bitmapped image into a smooth, scalable graphic image. ![]() We also used replit to create and host our web app. Our Desmos Art Generator web app was built on the collaborative IDE and used the web-based frameworks HTML, CSS, React.js, and JavaScript, Node.js, and Express. Recently, after furthering our knowledge with web app languages and the functionalities of desmos and processing.js, we decided to create a desmos art generator for the hackathon. TLDR: You can upload an image and our website turns it into a Desmos graph How we built it Overall, Desmos Art Generator provides a convenient and affordable way for users to express their creativity and artistry. The how to page also covers how our generator works with a diagram and explanation. The about page has information about our mission and future plans for Desmos Art Generator. They can also make minor changes to the image in desmos if necessary. In addition, the output includes the exact equations of the curves and lines so users can replicate the image themselves using and save it. After learning the locations of the edges, the algorithm then finds the curve equations that replicate it, before it outputs to the user a desmos graph version of the image - that is, the image in the form of hundreds of desmos equations put together. The algorithm highlights the edges within the drawing/image, so it could be traced by a tracing library called Potrace. ![]() The image is then processed and passed through a computer vision algorithm called sobel edge detection, which used convolutions and a Gaussian filter. When a user opens Desmos Art Generator, they will see its information and how-to-guide of our generator and are prompted to upload a picture of any image or drawing. With the power of computer vision, math, and a pinch of artistic talent, with our generator, anyone can create their own art on a Desmos canvas! What it doesĭesmos Art Generator is a web app that ensures that all users can always have a platform to express their creativity by visualizing their drawings. ![]() Since expressing creativity for both students and adults alike is important for bonding together, education, and for expressing experiences, stories, and emotions, we decided to create from scratch a desmos art generator for the hackathon. In our math classes, we have explored using Desmos graphs to create drawings such as snowmen and utilized processing.js to code scenery and houses. Many of us in our hackathon team are both technology, STEM, and art enthusiasts ourselves every time we see novel and astounding interdisciplinary tech/stem+art creations, such as Google’s Quick Draw, it always blows us away to see how creative and mesmerizing they are. ![]()

![]() They have absolutely no uses in role playing, despite the temptation and the availability in equally esoteric gaming stores. Where n - number of sides, a - side length. If you want to calculate the regular polygon parameters directly from equations, all you need to know is the polygon shape and its side length: Area. Many hardcore gamers acquire one at some point, simply for their curiosity value, in much the same way as most hardcore gamers have a 100-sided die which is absolutely impractical to use. Regular polygon formulas: sides, area, perimeter, angles. ![]() Hendecahedrons have been created mostly by esoteric gaming/dice companies, mostly because they could. However, continual attempts by the United States to create a popular dollar-value coin have yet to be successful, and the 11-sided Susan B. The Indian two-rupee coin is also in common use. All regular decagons have the same shape, like this: An irregular decagon is a 10 sides shape where not every side and angle are equal. A regular decagon is a 10-sided shape where every side is the same length and every corner has the same angle. Both the Canadian men’s and women’s ice hockey teams went on to win gold medals. A decagon is a flat shape with 10 straight sides. The number of sides was chosen so as not to be confused with some King George nickels which also were angular rather than round.ĭuring the 2002 Winter Olympics, the Canadian ice-making company buried a loonie to mark centre ice. The town of Echo Bay, Ontario, has erected a giant loonie statue in honour of its local creator. It was very popular right from its introduction, and is currently in extremely common use. The Canadian dollar coin, or ‘loonie’, was designed with eleven slightly-rounded edges to distinguish it for use by the blind. Learn how to identify and name polygons with 11 sides, such as the 11-gon, the 12-gon, the 13-gon and the 14-gon. While a shape with any number of sides can be constructed so that all angles are identical, it is impossible to construct a hendecagon using the classic method of only a straightedge and a compass.ĭespite the unusual shape, three countries actually use the hendecagon as the template for some of their coins. For a regular hendecagon where the length of one side = a, the area is approximately equal to 9.36564 x a^2, as determined by the formula: ![]() For the 3-dimensional shape, -hedron is of English origin.Ī regular hendecagon has angles of 127.27 degrees, and has Schlaefli symbol. However, the Greek ‘hen’ is used here instead to avoid the Latin ‘un(i)-‘. The names for smaller-sided shapes usually combine Latin prefixes with the Greek -gon, such as in pentagon. It is also called as undecagon and endecagon. An eleven-sided 3-dimensional shape is called a hendecahedron. In geometry, the shape with 11 sided shape is called a hendecagon. An eleven-sided, eleven-angled planar shape is called a hendecagon. 11 and 12 sided shape: 11 -Sided shape: Any polygon of 11 sides is known as hendecagon or Unidecagon. ![]() ![]() ![]() Citizenship or alien status requirements.Department of Agriculture Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, called Basic Food in Washington, helps people with low incomes make ends meet by providing monthly benefits to buy food. ![]() Unable to complete an application online or by mail?

![]() ![]() Informant Is Charged With Lying Over Bidens’ Role in Ukraine Business. For a summary of the indictment and related details, see NYTimes, Ex-F.B.I. ![]() On Thursday, a grand jury in the Central District of California issued an indictment against Smirnov for lying to the FBI. House Oversight Chair James Comer took testimony from disgruntled IRS agents with no personal knowledge (but plenty of opinions) and from Hunter Biden’s business partner, who said Joe Biden never participated in his son’s business dealings.ĭesperate for proof, Republicans turned to a confidential source, Alexander Smirnov, who claimed to have personal knowledge of alleged bribery ($5 million) by then former Vice President Biden arising from Hunter Biden’s involvement in a Ukrainian energy company (“Burisma”). The House “impeachment” inquiry has been a conspiracy theory in search of evidence from the start. These twin developments are a watershed moment for the truth. But now, we have proof that the bad-faith headlines, breathless “whataboutism,” and lazy “both-siderism” of the media are part of a disinformation campaign that must stop. The major takeaway is this: The Republican party is built on lies and sustains itself through lies. That collapse is good for President Biden politically-but the immediate political ramification is not the most important point. Those narratives have now collapsed in a spectacular implosion. Together, the false stories of “Biden’s corruption” and “election fraud” were major components of the GOP playbook in the 2024 presidential election. The revelation that the “impeachment inquiry” against Biden was built on a house of lies comes hard on the heels of an admission from one of the primary proponents of the 2020 election fraud conspiracy theory that it has no evidence to support its allegations of widespread fraud! ![]() Per the indictment, the GOP’s primary source of allegations of corruption against President Biden lied to FBI agents, concocting a fiction for MAGA media outlets and politicians eager to spread slanderous statements. On a day bristling with important news, the criminal indictment of the “star” witness against President Biden and Hunter Biden in the impeachment inquiry was a watershed moment for the truth. ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() In the following appendix material a selection of airfoil graphical data is presented which can be found in the Theory of Wing Sections and in the non-copyrighted NACA publications which are the source of the Dover publication’s data. While the date of original publication might lead one to think this material must be out of date, that is simply not true and the Theory of Wing Sections is one of the most valuable references in any aerospace engineer’s personal library. Many of the more important airfoil shapes have their test results summarized in the Theory of Wing Sections, a Dover paperback publication authored by Ira Abbott and Albert Von Doenhoff and first published in 1949. This data is most conveniently presented in plots of lift coefficient versus angle of attack, pitching moment coefficient versus angle of attack, drag coefficient versus lift coefficient, and pitching moment coefficient versus lift coefficient and is found in literally hundreds of NACA and NASA Reports, Notes, and Memoranda published since the 1920s. Lift, drag, and pitching moment data for hundreds of such airfoil shapes was determined in wind tunnel tests by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) and later by NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. In Chapter 3 of this text we discussed many of the aspects of airfoil design as well as the NACA designations for several series of airfoils. ![]() ![]() ![]() Simply enter the expense incurred by different people and it automatically gives you the summary.

The game was announced on Jand released digitally on Augfor Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4, and on August 29 for PC. The game emulates the gameplay and 2D sprite animation of the original Sega Mega Drive Sonic games. ![]() Sonic Mania was developed by Christian Whitehead, who had previously worked on enhanced ports of early Sonic games, with the aid of Headcannon and PagodaWest Games, who were chosen for their work in the Sonic fangame community and was published by Sega. The storyline of the game also ties into the events of Sonic Forces.

For example: in Crete, a wooden cross was decorated with lemon blossoms and red flowers known as “maheritses. These items were decorated with multicolored fabrics, ribbons and flowers. In some parts of Greece, dolls, reed crosses, staffs were used to create the image of Lazarus. ![]() In return for this treat, the housewives gave the children eggs, money, fruits or whatever else they had. The next day dressed in local traditional costumes or a special costume, the girls carrying baskets full of Lazarakia and flowers went around the neighborhoods and sang Lazarus's carols and offered cookies. ![]() The baskets were decorated with the flowers they collected and beautiful colorful ribbons. The carols were exclusively almost female and were sung by girls of different ages, even married girls called “ Lazarines”.On the eve of the feast, lazarines (girls) went out into the fields outside the villages to collect flowers that would be used toĭecorate their basket. The most widespread custom for Lazarus of Saturday is the "carols of Lazarus" which reclaimed the joyous feast. Various customs take place throughout Greece to commemorate this day. Saturday of Lazarus and Palm Sunday have a unique place in the ecclesiastical calendar as days of joy between the Great Lent and the lament of Holy Week. An important side note is that it is the only time in the entire Church Year that the resurrection service of Sunday is celebrated on another day. The "lesson" of the Lazarakia is that, because of Jesus, even in the midst of the sorrow of death, there is the sweet joy of Life Eternal. Tomb as well as Lazara (Λαζαρα), carols that children sing especially for the day. It is a long Greek Orthodox tradition to observe Lazarus Saturday with Lazarakia (Λαζαράκια) - sweet bread filled with a sweet, nutty jam or marmalade or honey which is made in the shape of Lazarus as he emerged from the It is important because it reminds us that from death comes resurrection and from resurrection comes new life. The story of Lazarus - the dear friend of Jesus, the brother of Martha and Mary - is an important way to begin Holy Week. Some scholars believe that this miracle was "the last straw" with the civil and religious authorities that led to their decision to bring charges against Jesus, end his scandalous ministry and bring his life to an end. It is also notable that He performed the miracle on the Sabbath. The resurrection of Lazarus from the dead is the last miracle performed by Jesus before his own death and resurrection. Lazarus died and after 4 days, Christ resurrected Lazarus from the dead. From the Bible, we learn the Lazarus was a beloved friend of Christ. Nine days before Pascha, we celebrate Saturday of Lazarus ( Λάζαρος). ![]() |
