The top 10 funding application errors Many charities see their applications for funding be rejected The Directory of Social Change estimates that ineligible applications made to the largest trusts in 2010 equated to seven years of wasted effort. This pointless exertion seems not to have lessened since then. According to the latest figures from the Big Lottery Fund, 46 per cent of applications to its Reaching Communities programme between May and July this year were ineligible. 1. "If only they had read our eligibility criteria, they would clearly see we don't fund that" is a perennial complaint from funders. The trust also gets a lot of applications from people who want to run welfare projects, even though it clearly states in its entry criteria that it does not fund such schemes. Comic Relief has received applications on behalf of an HIV project in Tanzania for a fund that operates only in Stoke-on-Trent. 2. Receiving applications for unrealistic sums of money is another bugbear of funders. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Visualizing Algorithms The power of the unaided mind is highly overrated… The real powers come from devising external aids that enhance cognitive abilities. —Donald Norman Algorithms are a fascinating use case for visualization. To visualize an algorithm, we don’t merely fit data to a chart; there is no primary dataset. Instead there are logical rules that describe behavior. This may be why algorithm visualizations are so unusual, as designers experiment with novel forms to better communicate. But algorithms are also a reminder that visualization is more than a tool for finding patterns in data. #Sampling Before I can explain the first algorithm, I first need to explain the problem it addresses. Light — electromagnetic radiation — the light emanating from this screen, traveling through the air, focused by your lens and projected onto the retina — is a continuous signal. This reduction process is called sampling, and it is essential to vision. Sampling is made difficult by competing goals. Here’s how it works:

Aliasing - Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre Properly sampled image of brick wall. Aliasing can occur in signals sampled in time, for instance digital audio, and is referred to as temporal aliasing. Aliasing can also occur in spatially sampled signals, for instance digital images. Aliasing in spatially sampled signals is called spatial aliasing. Description[edit] Aliasing example of the A letter in Times New Roman. When a digital image is viewed, a reconstruction is performed by a display or printer device, and by the eyes and the brain. An example of spatial aliasing is the Moiré pattern one can observe in a poorly pixelized image of a brick wall. Temporal aliasing is a major concern in the sampling of video and audio signals. In video or cinematography, temporal aliasing results from the limited frame rate, and causes the wagon-wheel effect, whereby a spoked wheel appears to rotate too slowly or even backwards. Bandlimited functions[edit] Bandpass signals[edit] Sampling sinusoidal functions[edit] = 1. = 0.9 and = 0.1. are and is where ).

Milestones in the emergence of a city If you are a regular reader of our Heeley's history booklets, you will be familiar with the name of Mr. Don Ross, for he has contributed many items for inclusion in several of them, which have been most welcome and interesting. As a man born and brought up in Heeley arid with a keen interst in history, he has enjoyed spending some of his spare time in retirement in looking up various aspects of past events which are of local significance. From finding out about the early years of Heely, as a village, he went on to find out about how it was made a part of Sheffield, and what changes arose from that. Eventually, what started off as a list of dates with reference to Heeley gradually expanded to include Sheffield arid all the other villages that were included in it. So, his list expanded, and then he began to wonder what he could do with it! Our regular booklets are still being produced at intervals, and are eagerly looked forward to by many of our readers.
