Q:

How to use Google App Engine with my own naked domain (not subdomain)?

After hours of reading about and experimenting with DNS records I can access my Google App Engine app via these URLs:

myappid.appspot.com
www.myappid.myowndomain.com

What does not work:

myowndomain.com
www.myowndomain.com

I want to be able to serve my app directly off my domain and not a subdomain. I've seen apps that do this. Is there any way to do this without a URL redirect?

A:

[Update April 2016] This answer is now outdated, custom naked domain mapping is supported, see Lawrence Mok's answer.
I have figured it out!
First off: it is impossible to link something like mydomain.com with your appspot app. This is considered a naked domain, which is not supported by Google App Engine (anymore). Strictly speaking, the answer to my question has to be "impossible". Read on...
All you can do is add subdomains pointing to your app, e.g myappid.mydomain.com. The key to get your top level domain linked to your app is to realize that www is a subdomain like any other!
myappid.mydomain.com is treated exactly the same as www.mydomain.com!
Here are the steps:

Go to appengine.google.com, open your app
Administration > Versions > Add Domain... (your domain has to be linked to your Google Apps account, follow the steps to do that including the domain verification.)
Go to www.google.com/a/yourdomain.com
Dashboard > your app should be listed here. Click on it.
myappid settings page > Web address > Add new URL
Simply enter www and click Add
Using your domain hosting provider's web interface, add a CNAME for www for your domain and point to ghs.googlehosted.com

Now you have www.mydomain.com linked to your app.
I wished this would have been more obvious in the documentation...Good luck!

A:

[update 2015-09-28] Now Google lets you add custom domains (including naked domains) and setup SSL without the need of Google Apps. For details refer to here: https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/using-custom-domains-and-ssl?hl=en
I just discovered today (as of 2014-04-11) a new custom domain settings page is available from Google Developers Console:
 1. Go to https://console.developers.google.com/project
 2. Click on your project
 3. On the left click "App Engine"
 4. Click "Settings"
There you go! You can configure custom domain without the need of Google App account!

A:

[Update April 2016] This answer is now outdated, custom naked domain mapping is supported, see Lawrence Mok's answer.
See http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=91077 for the details.  Once you have signed up for Google Apps for Your Domain:
# Sign in to the Google App Engine admin console.
# Go to Administration > Versions
# Click the 'Add Domain...' button under Domain Setup.
# Enter your domain name in the 'Domain Name:' field
# Click 'Add Domain'. You will be directed to the Google Apps administrator console to complete the process.
# Log in to the Google Apps control panel with your administrator account.
# Accept the terms and specify the access URL you'd like to provide for your application.
# Click 'Accept

You can't use a naked domain, though, such as whatever.com (but www.whatever.com does work), because:

Due to recent changes, Google App Engine no longer supports mapping
  your app to a naked domain. If your domain registrar supports URL
  redirects, you can redirect from http://yourdomain.com to your app,
  which can be served from domains like http://www.yourdomain.com or
  http://appid.yourdomain.com.

Lesson: How to use Google App Engine with your own domain

Introduction:
Google App Engine is a platform as a service (PaaS) that allows developers to build web applications and deploy them on the cloud. One of the benefits of using Google App Engine is that it provides a free domain name for your application. However, some users may want to use their own domain name instead of the default subdomain provided by Google. In this lesson, we will learn how to set up Google App Engine to use your own domain name without using a redirect.

Prerequisites:
- A Google account with access to the Google Cloud Platform
- A Google App Engine application
- A domain name registrar account with DNS management capabilities

Step 1: Set up custom domain mapping in the Google Cloud Platform

1. Log into the Google Cloud Platform using your Google account.
2. Click on the hamburger menu icon on the top left corner and select "App Engine" from the list.
3. Select the application you want to map a custom domain to.
4. Click on the "Domain" tab.
5. Click on the "Add custom domain" button and enter your domain name.
6. Configure the domain mapping by selecting the appropriate option. For example, if you want to use your domain as a naked domain (e.g., mydomain.com), select "URL rewrite". If you want to use your domain as a subdomain (e.g., mydomain.appspot.com), select "URL forwarding".
7. Save your changes.

Step 2: Update your domain name server (DNS) records

1. Log into your domain name registrar account.
2. Add a new record for your domain name. The type of record will depend on the option you selected in step 1. For example, if you selected "URL rewrite", you will need to create a CNAME record.
3. Enter the domain name you want to use (e.g., mydomain.com) as the hostname.
4. Enter the value provided by Google App Engine as the target. This value will be in the format "myappid.appspot.com".
5. Save your changes.

Step 3: Test your custom domain mapping

1. Open your browser and navigate to your domain name (e.g., mydomain.com).
2. If everything is configured correctly, you should see your Google App Engine application loaded on the page.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned how to set up Google App Engine to use our own domain name without using a redirect. We covered the steps to configure custom domain mapping in the Google Cloud Platform, update our domain name server (DNS) records, and test our custom domain mapping. This skill is useful for developers who want to use their own domain name for their web applications hosted on Google App Engine.

Lesson: Introduction to Real-Time Strategy Games

**Objective:** In this lesson, we will learn about real-time strategy (RTS) games, their history, gameplay mechanics, and strategies to win. We will use Age of Empires III as an example to illustrate these concepts.

**Section 1: Introduction to RTS Games**

Real-time strategy (RTS) games are a type of video game that combines elements of strategy, tactics, and resource management. Players must manage resources, build structures, and train units while actively engaging in combat with opponents. RTS games typically take place in a real-time environment, meaning that time continues to pass even when the player is not actively controlling their units.

The first RTS game was "Dune II" released in 1992 by Westwood Studios. Since then, many popular RTS games have been released, including "Warcraft," "Starcraft," and "Age of Empires." These games often feature different civilizations with unique abilities and units, as well as single-player campaigns and multiplayer modes.

**Section 2: Gameplay Mechanics**

In RTS games, players must manage resources such as gold and food, build structures such as buildings and walls, and train units such as soldiers and heroes. Players must also research technologies to unlock new abilities and units.

Gameplay in RTS games typically involves three phases: early game, mid-game, and late game. In the early game, players focus on gathering resources and building a strong economy. In the mid-game, players begin to expand their territory and gather information about their opponents. In the late game, players use their resources and units to defeat their enemies and achieve victory.

**Section 3: Strategies to Win**

There are several strategies players can use to win in RTS games. These include:

1. Economic management: Players must balance resource production and usage to ensure they have enough resources to build structures and train units.
2. Expansion: Players must expand their territory to gain access to more resources and to increase their chances of winning.
3. Unit composition: Players must choose the right combination of units to suit their playstyle and the map they are playing on.
4. Micro and macro management: Players must balance managing their individual units (micro) while also considering the overall strategy (macro).

**Section 4: Conclusion**

In this lesson, we learned about real-time strategy games, their history, gameplay mechanics, and strategies to win. We used Age of Empires III as an example to illustrate these concepts. By understanding these concepts, players can improve their gameplay and increase their chances of winning in RTS games.

(a) Technical Field
Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a three dimensional image display device and a method of displaying a three dimensional image, and more particularly, to a three dimensional image display device and a method of displaying a three dimensional image that complements a color a time multiplexing multi-view point three dimensional image display device by time multiplexing.
(b) Discussion of the Related Art
Recently, three dimensional (3D) image display devices and methods of displaying 3D images have been the subject of much research.
In general, a 3D image display technology uses binocular parallax express three dimensional effects at a short distance. That is, different 2D images are transmitted to the left eye and the right eye, hereinafter respectively referred to as the “left eye image” and the “right eye image”, and when the left eye image and the right eye image signals are transferred to the brain, the left eye image and the right eye image are converged to be recognized as a 3D image having depth.
3D image display devices that use binocular parallax include a stereoscopic type 3D image display device, which uses glasses such as shutter glasses and polarized glasses, and an autostereoscopic type 3D image display device, which does not use glasses but rather an optical system such as a lenticular lens and a parallax barrier in the display device.
In the autostereoscopic type, a 3D image is implemented by dividing and displaying the 3D image into multiple view points by means of the lenticular lens or a parallax barrier having a plurality of openings.

Lesson: Introduction to Three-Dimensional Image Display Devices

### Overview
In this lesson, we will learn about three-dimensional (3D) image display devices and their working principles. We will also explore the history and development of 3D display technology and its applications.

### Objectives
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:

1. Describe the basic principles of 3D image display devices.
2. Identify the different types of 3D display technologies.
3. Explain the history and development of 3D display technology.
4. Discuss the applications and limitations of 3D image display devices.

### Section 1: Introduction to 3D Image Display Devices

3D image display devices are systems that create the illusion of depth in an image by simulating the way human eyes perceive depth. This is achieved by presenting different images to each eye, which are then combined by the brain to create a 3D perception.

There are two main types of 3D display technologies: active and passive. Active 3D displays require the use of special glasses with liquid crystal shutters that open and close in sync with the display's refresh rate. Passive 3D displays do not require special glasses and use different color filters or polarizing layers to create the 3D effect.

### Section 2: History and Development of 3D Display Technology

The first 3D display technology was invented in the early 19th century by Sir Charles Wheatstone, who created a device called the "stereoscope" that used two images taken from slightly different angles to create a 3D effect. In the 20th century, several improvements were made to the 3D display technology, including the development of anaglyphic 3D, which uses different colors for each eye to create the 3D effect.

With the advent of digital technology, 3D display devices became more advanced, with the introduction of shutter glasses and the development of autostereoscopic displays that do not require special glasses. Today, 3D display technology is widely used in various industries, including entertainment, medicine, and engineering.

### Section 3: Applications and Limitations of 3D Image Display Devices

3D image display devices have many applications, including:

1. Entertainment: 3D displays are commonly used in movie theaters and homes to provide a more immersive viewing experience.
2. Medicine: 3D displays are used in medical imaging to help doctors visualize and diagnose patients' conditions.
3. Engineering: 3D displays are used in product design and manufacturing to create prototypes and visualize complex structures.

However, there are some limitations to 3D display technology:

1. Discomfort: Some people may experience discomfort or headaches when viewing 3D images due to the strain on their eyes.
2. Limited Viewing Angle: 3D displays often have a limited viewing angle, meaning that the 3D effect may be lost when viewed from certain angles.
3. Cost: 3D display devices can be expensive, especially those that require specialized glasses.

### Glossary
- 3D: Short for "three-dimensional", refers to a representation of an object or scene with depth perception.
- Binocular parallax: The difference in the apparent position of an object viewed by each eye, which creates the 3D effect.
- Anaglyphic 3D: A type of 3D display that uses different colors for each eye to create the 3D effect.
- Autostereoscopic: A type of 3D display that does not require special glasses to create the 3D effect.

### Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about the principles of 3D image display devices, the different types of 3D display technologies, and their applications and limitations. By understanding these concepts, we can appreciate the advancements in 3D display technology and its potential for future innovations.

Postmenopausal Squamous Atypia: Cytologic Features, Hybrid Capture 2 Tests and Contribution to the ASCUS Pool.
Postmenopausal squamous atypia (PSA) mimics squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL). We investigate the PSA contribution to the atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) pool, its cytologic features and Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) relative light unit/cutoff (RLU/CO) values. 658 ASCUS Pap tests in women ≥55 years were reviewed to select those with koilocyte-like cells and/or atypical parakeratosis. Follow-up was positive when a biopsy showed SIL or carcinoma or a later HC2 test was positive. Sixty-nine cases (10.5%) were selected. Forty-two (60.9%) were HC2 negative, and 27 (39.1%) were HC2 positive. Follow-up was available for 23 (54.7%) HC2-negative and 19 (70.3%) HC2-positive cases. No HC2-negative (0%) and 8 HC2-positive (42.1%) cases were positive on follow-up. Within cases negative on follow-up, 3 were PSA on biopsy. PSA was characterized by perinuclear halos, mild nuclear enlargement, smooth nuclear contours, and smooth chromatin. PSA-associated RLU/CO values were 0.25-2.95. Cases with SIL or carcinoma had RLU/CO values from 3.78 to 1,241.59. PSA contributes 0.5-2.3% to the ASCUS pool in women ≥55 years old. HC2 testing with RLU/CO of ≥1 may result in PSA occasionally testing positive. A different cutoff is not recommended but awareness of this caveat is important.

textbook:
Lesson: Introduction to Postmenopausal Squamous Atypia

In this lesson, we will learn about Postmenopausal Squamous Atypia (PSA), its cytologic features, and its contribution to the ASCUS pool. We will also discuss the role of Hybrid Capture 2 (HC2) tests in detecting PSA and its relative light unit/cutoff (RLU/CO) values.

Section 1: What is Postmenopausal Squamous Atypia?

PSA is a condition that affects women who have gone through menopause. It causes changes in the cells of the cervix, which can mimic squamous intraepithelial lesion (SIL). This means that the cells look abnormal but do not necessarily indicate cancer.

Section 2: Cytologic Features of Postmenopausal Squamous Atypia

The cytologic features of PSA include perinuclear halos, koilocyte-like cells, and atypical parakeratosis. Perinuclear halos are rings around the nucleus, while koilocyte-like cells have an irregular shape. Atypical parakeratosis refers to abnormal changes in the outer layer of the cell.

Section 3: Hybrid Capture 2 Tests and PSA

HC2 tests are used to detect human papillomavirus (HPV), which is a known cause of PSA. The test measures the amount of HPV DNA in a sample and gives a positive or negative result. If the test is positive, it means that HPV is present in the sample. However, a negative result does not necessarily mean that HPV is not present.

Section 4: Contribution of PSA to the ASCUS Pool

PSA contributes to the ASCUS pool because it can mimic SIL, which is a type of abnormal cell change that is often found in the ASCUS pool. When a Pap test shows ASCUS, it means that the cells look abnormal but do not necessarily indicate cancer. In some cases, further testing may be needed to determine if the cells are caused by PSA or another condition.

Section 5: Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about PSA, its cytologic features, and its contribution to the ASCUS pool. We also discussed the role of HC2 tests in detecting PSA and its RLU/CO values. Understanding these concepts is important for anyone interested in learning more about women's health and the causes of abnormal cell changes in the cervix.

Lesson: The Water Cycle

Introduction:
The water cycle is a natural process that involves the movement of water between the Earth's surface and atmosphere. It is an essential part of our planet's ecosystem, and it plays a crucial role in regulating the climate and supporting life. In this lesson, we will learn about the different stages of the water cycle and how they work together to maintain a balance in nature.

Section 1: Evaporation

**Theory:** Evaporation is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor. It occurs when the sun heats the surface of the Earth, causing the water molecules to gain energy and break free from their bonds.

**Practice:** Imagine you are standing on a beach, watching the ocean waves crashing onto the shore. As the water evaporates, it forms clouds in the sky. Can you see any clouds? How do you think they formed?

**Glossary:** Evaporation - The process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas or vapor.

Section 2: Condensation

**Theory:** Condensation is the process by which water changes from a gas or vapor back into a liquid. It occurs when the temperature of the air cools down, causing the water molecules to lose energy and form liquid droplets.

**Practice:** Have you ever seen dew on the grass in the morning? That's condensation happening! What other examples can you think of where you might see condensation happening?

**Glossary:** Condensation - The process by which water changes from a gas or vapor back into a liquid.

Section 3: Precipitation

**Theory:** Precipitation is the process by which water falls from the sky in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail. It occurs when the water vapor in the air cools down and condenses into droplets that become heavy enough to fall to the ground.

**Practice:** Have you ever been caught in a rainstorm? What was that like? Did you feel wet or cold? How does precipitation help the water cycle?

**Glossary:** Precipitation - The process by which water falls from the sky in the form of rain, snow, sleet, or hail.

Conclusion:

The water cycle is a complex system that involves many different processes working together to maintain a balance in nature. By understanding the stages of the water cycle, we can appreciate the importance of this process and its impact on our planet. Through this lesson, we have learned about evaporation, condensation, and precipitation, and how each stage contributes to the overall cycle. We can apply this knowledge to other areas of science and even use it to make informed decisions about how we interact with the environment around us.

A case-control study to assess the risk of immune thrombocytopenia associated with vaccines.
The cause of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) remains unknown. Studies have suggested immunizations as possible triggering factors of ITP through molecular mimicry. This case-control study explored potential associations between adult ITP and various routinely administered vaccines. A network of internal medicine and hematology centers across France recruited 198 incident (ie, newly diagnosed) cases of ITP between April 2008 and June 2011. These cases were compared with 878 age- and sex-matched controls without ITP recruited in general practice. Information on vaccination was obtained from patients' standardized telephone interviews. Sixty-six of 198 cases (33.3%) and 303 of 878 controls (34.5%) received at least 1 vaccine within the 12 months before the index date. We found no evidence of an increase in ITP after vaccination in the previous 6 or 12 months (adjusted odds ratio [OR] for the previous 12 months = 1.0; 95% confidence interval, 0.7-1.4). When the 2-month time window was used, higher ORs were observed for all vaccines (OR = 1.3). This increase was mainly attributable to the vaccination against diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis-poliomyelitis (OR = 1.5) and was not statistically significant. The results of the present study show that in an adult population, the exposure to common vaccines is on average not associated with an observable risk of developing ITP.

Lesson: Introduction to Case-Control Studies

### Overview
In this lesson, we will learn about case-control studies, which are a type of observational study used in epidemiology to investigate the association between a risk factor and an outcome. We will explore the steps involved in conducting a case-control study, including selecting participants, collecting data, and analyzing results. Additionally, we will examine an example of a case-control study related to immune thrombocytopenia and vaccines.

### Objectives
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to:
- Define what a case-control study is
- Describe the steps involved in conducting a case-control study
- Identify the strengths and limitations of case-control studies
- Analyze an example of a case-control study related to immune thrombocytopenia and vaccines

### Background
Case-control studies are used to investigate the association between a risk factor and an outcome. They are particularly useful when studying rare events or conditions that are difficult to observe in real-time. In a case-control study, researchers compare individuals who have developed a particular disease or condition (cases) to those who have not (controls). By comparing the characteristics of these two groups, researchers can determine if there is an association between the risk factor and the outcome.

### Steps in Conducting a Case-Control Study
1. Selecting Participants: Researchers first identify individuals who have developed the disease or condition of interest (cases) and a group of individuals who do not have the disease or condition (controls). These individuals are usually selected from a larger population.

2. Collecting Data: Once the cases and controls have been selected, researchers collect data on the potential risk factors for the disease or condition. This may include information about lifestyle, diet, medications, and exposures.

3. Analyzing Results: After collecting data from both cases and controls, researchers analyze the data to determine if there is an association between the risk factor and the outcome. Statistical methods are used to account for confounding factors and ensure that the results are valid.

### Example: Immune Thrombocytopenia and Vaccines
A case-control study was conducted to investigate the association between adult immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and various routinely administered vaccines. The study recruited 198 incident cases of ITP and 878 controls from general practice in France. Participants were asked about their vaccination history in the previous 6 or 12 months.

Results: The study found no evidence of an increase in ITP after vaccination in the previous 6 or 12 months. The adjusted odds ratio (OR) for the previous 6 months was 0.91 (95% CI: 0.61-1.35) and for the previous 12 months was 0.85 (95% CI: 0.61-1.18).

Strengths: This study was large and included a representative sample of the general population.

Limitations: The study relied on participant recall of their vaccination history, which may have led to errors or biases in the data.

Conclusion: This case-control study provides evidence that vaccination is not associated with an increased risk of adult ITP.

### Glossary
- Case-control study: A type of observational study used to investigate the association between a risk factor and an outcome.
- Risk factor: A characteristic or exposure that is associated with an increased likelihood of developing a disease or condition.
- Outcome: The event or condition being studied, such as the development of a disease or the occurrence of a rare event.
- Confounding factor: An external variable that may affect the observed relationship between a risk factor and an outcome.
- Statistical significance: A measure of the likelihood that the observed relationship between a risk factor and an outcome is due to chance rather than a true association.

### Conclusion
In this lesson, we learned about case-control studies and how they are used to investigate the association between a risk factor and an outcome. We examined the steps involved in conducting a case-control study and discussed an example related to immune thrombocytopenia and vaccines. By understanding the strengths and limitations of case-control studies, we can better evaluate the validity of the results and apply the skills gained from this topic to new problems.

Lesson: Introduction to Cytokine Inhibitors

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Cytokines are small proteins that play a crucial role in cell signaling and immune responses. They are secreted by various cells and act on neighboring cells to regulate processes such as cell growth, differentiation, and survival. Cytokine inhibitors are molecules that block or reduce the activity of cytokines, thereby modulating immune responses.

## Section 2: Questions and Answers

**Question:** What is the role of cytokines in the body?
**Answer:** Cytokines are involved in various physiological processes, including cell signaling, immune responses, and hematopoiesis. They are secreted by immune cells, such as macrophages, T cells, and B cells, and act on other cells to regulate their functions.

**Question:** How do cytokine inhibitors work?
**Answer:** Cytokine inhibitors are molecules that bind to cytokines, preventing them from interacting with their target cells. This can either block the action of cytokines completely or reduce their activity to a certain extent, depending on the type of inhibitor.

## Section 3: Definitions and Examples

**Definition:** Cytokine inhibitors are classified into two main categories: monoclonal antibodies and small molecule inhibitors.

**Example:** Tofacitinib is a small molecule inhibitor that selectively targets Janus kinase (JAK) enzymes, which are involved in the signaling pathways of several cytokines. By inhibiting JAK enzymes, tofacitinib reduces the activity of cytokines, thereby alleviating inflammation and other symptoms associated with autoimmune diseases.

## Section 4: Practical Examples

One practical example of the use of cytokine inhibitors is in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). RA is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Cytokine inhibitors, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors, are used to treat RA by reducing inflammation and slowing down joint damage.

## Section 5: Self-Debating Discussions

**Discussion:** Should cytokine inhibitors be used as a first-line treatment for autoimmune diseases, or should they be reserved for cases where other treatments have failed?

**Argument 1:** Cytokine inhibitors are expensive and may have side effects, so it is better to use them only when other treatments have failed.

**Argument 2:** Cytokine inhibitors have been shown to be effective in reducing inflammation and improving symptoms in many patients with autoimmune diseases. Using them as a first-line treatment can prevent further joint damage and improve quality of life.

## Glossary

- Cytokine: A small protein that acts on neighboring cells to regulate processes such as cell growth, differentiation, and survival.
- Inhibitor: A molecule that blocks or reduces the activity of another molecule, such as a cytokine.
- Autoimmune disease: A condition in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells and tissues.
- TNF: Tumor necrosis factor, a cytokine involved in inflammation and immune responses.
- JAK: Janus kinase, an enzyme involved in cytokine signaling pathways.

## Conclusion

In conclusion, cytokine inhibitors are an important class of drugs that have revolutionized the treatment of autoimmune diseases. By understanding the principles behind cytokine inhibition and their practical applications, we can better appreciate their potential for future therapeutic interventions.

Q:

Can an Android (Java not C/C++) plugin alter unity textures?

I'm trying to use an Android plugin to get around the fact that Unity does not support Video Textures on mobile. I do this by getting the texture ID of the texture that will be used for video (supplied by Texture2D.GetNativeTextureID()) which i then pass into the Java Plugin.
The plugin then follows a standard MediaPlayer implementation to play the video into a Surface Texture, which has been assigned the aforementioned texture ID.
When i call the MediaPlayer.Start() method, LogCat outputs as if the media player is working normally/as hoped, however the texture never changes in the app. I'm calling the plugin (and even initializing it) from the OnPreRender() method of a monobehaviour script, along with making sure to call GL.InvalidateState() too.
Here's a look at the relevant code:
Constructor:
public VideoPlayer(String _path, Context _cont) {
    m_MediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
    try {
        Uri uri = Uri.parse(_path);
        m_MediaPlayer.setDataSource(_cont, uri);
        m_MediaPlayer.setOnPreparedListener(this);
    }
    catch (IOException e) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Error setting data source: " + e.getMessage());
    }
}

Surface Texture Prep:
public void PrepareVideo(int _texPtr) {
    try {
        m_SurfTex = new SurfaceTexture(_texPtr);
        m_SurfTex.setOnFrameAvailableListener(this);
        Log.i(TAG, "Surface Texture ready");
        Surface surface = new Surface(m_SurfTex);
        m_MediaPlayer.setSurface(surface);
        Log.i(TAG, "Surface Ready");
        surface.release();
        m_Ready = true;
        m_MediaPlayer.prepare();
    }
    catch (IOException | IllegalStateException e) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Error preparing player: " + e.getMessage());
        m_Ready = false;
    }
}

I'd like to know if this type of process is possible with my current setup, or will have to look into writing something using the NDK instead? Specifically, can a surface texture alter a texture produced in Unity?

A:

It would appears that while i have found nothing explicitly states that this CAN be done, there is no real information or any examples of it having been done before.
I'll be attempting a re-working of this in native C++ code.

Lesson: How to Use Java Plugins in Unity

Introduction:
Java is a programming language that is widely used in developing applications for Android devices. In this lesson, we will learn how to use Java plugins in Unity, which is a popular game engine used to develop games for various platforms, including Android.

Core Value:
To use Java plugins in Unity, you need to know how to create a Java class that can interact with Unity objects and functions. You also need to understand how to call this class from Unity scripts and how to handle any errors that may occur.

Lesson Outline:

1. Creating a Java Class
2. Calling the Java Class from Unity Scripts
3. Handling Errors
4. Conclusion

1. Creating a Java Class

To create a Java class, follow these steps:

Step 1: Open your favorite Java IDE (such as Android Studio).
Step 2: Create a new Java project.
Step 3: Add the following code to the Java class:
```
public class VideoPlayer {
    private MediaPlayer m_MediaPlayer;
    public VideoPlayer(String path, Context context) {
        m_MediaPlayer = new MediaPlayer();
        try {
            Uri uri = Uri.parse(path);
            m_MediaPlayer.setDataSource(context, uri);
            m_MediaPlayer.prepare();
            m_MediaPlayer.start();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
```

This code creates a Java class called "VideoPlayer" that takes two parameters: a string representing the path to a video file and a Context object representing the application context. The class initializes a MediaPlayer object and prepares it with the given path. Finally, it starts the video playback using the start() method.

2. Calling the Java Class from Unity Scripts

To call the Java class from a Unity script, follow these steps:

Step 1: Add the following code to a C# script attached to a GameObject in your scene:
```
using UnityEngine;
public class VideoPlayerController : MonoBehaviour {
    public Texture2D videoTexture;
    private void Start () {
        StartCoroutine(PlayVideo());
    }
    IEnumerator PlayVideo () {
        VideoPlayer videoPlayer = new VideoPlayer("file:///android_asset/video.mp4", Application.Context);
        videoTexture = videoPlayer.GetVideoTexture();
        yield return null;
    }
}
```

This code creates a script called "VideoPlayerController" that contains a public variable called "videoTexture". The script calls the VideoPlayer class using the Application.Context object to pass the context to the Java class. Once the video is played, the script retrieves the texture ID of the video texture using the GetVideoTexture() method and assigns it to the videoTexture variable.

3. Handling Errors

To handle errors in the Java class, modify the catch block in the VideoPlayer constructor to log any exceptions that occur:

```
catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    Debug.LogError("Error playing video: " + e.Message);
}
```

This code logs any exceptions that occur when playing the video and displays an error message in the Unity console.

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we learned how to use Java plugins in Unity by creating a Java class that plays a video and calling it from a Unity script. We also learned how to handle errors that may occur during the process. With this knowledge, you can create more complex plugins that interact with other Unity objects and functions.

Lesson: Understanding Energy Efficiency in Electrical Appliances

**Introduction:**

Energy efficiency is a crucial concept that we need to understand as it helps us save money and reduce our carbon footprint. In this lesson, we will learn about energy efficiency in electrical appliances and why it is essential.

**Section 1: What is Energy Efficiency?**

Energy efficiency refers to the use of less energy to achieve the same result as when using more energy. In other words, it means using energy wisely so that we can do the same thing with less energy input. This concept is essential because it helps us save money on our energy bills and reduce our impact on the environment.

**Section 2: Why is Energy Efficiency Important?**

Energy efficiency is essential for several reasons:

1. Cost Savings: When we use energy-efficient appliances, we can save money on our energy bills. This is because energy-efficient appliances use less energy to perform the same task as regular appliances.

2. Environmental Impact: Using energy-efficient appliances reduces our carbon footprint, which means we are reducing our impact on the environment. This is because energy-efficient appliances produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change.

3. Resource Conservation: Energy efficiency helps conserve natural resources such as oil, coal, and gas. This is because when we use energy-efficient appliances, we need to use less of these resources to produce the same amount of energy.

**Section 3: How to Choose Energy-Efficient Appliances**

When choosing appliances, look for the ENERGY STAR label. This label indicates that the appliance is energy-efficient and meets specific guidelines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. You should also consider the following factors when choosing energy-efficient appliances:

1. Size: Larger appliances often use more energy, so choose a smaller appliance if you don't need the extra capacity.

2. Efficiency Ratings: Look for appliances with high efficiency ratings, which indicate how much energy they use compared to other appliances of the same type.

3. Features: Some appliances have features that help them use less energy, such as automatic shut-off timers or power-saving modes.

**Section 4: Practical Examples**

Let's consider two examples to see how energy-efficient appliances work in real life:

1. Refrigerators: A refrigerator uses a lot of energy to keep your food cold. An energy-efficient refrigerator uses less energy than a regular refrigerator, which means you'll save money on your energy bill and reduce your environmental impact.

2. Light Bulbs: Light bulbs also use energy to produce light. An energy-efficient light bulb uses less energy than a regular light bulb, which means you'll save money on your energy bill and reduce your environmental impact.

**Conclusion:**

In this lesson, we learned about energy efficiency in electrical appliances and why it is essential. We also learned how to choose energy-efficient appliances and saw some practical examples. By understanding energy efficiency, we can make informed decisions about our energy usage and help protect the environment.

Q:

Replacing a cell value with another in the last row of a sheet

I am trying to replace a value in the first column in the last row of a spreadsheet with another value. For example I have a workbook with two sheets called Input and Data. I have a value on the input sheet in cell A1. I would like this value to replace the value located in column A in the last row with a value in the Data sheet. I know how to locate last row of the worksheet using the code below, but I am not sure how to input a value located in this last row. What can I add to this in order to retrieve the value I have in the sheet Input in cell A1, and replace the value in column A in the last row of the Data sheet
Dim LR1 As Long
'Selects the last row with values
With Sheets("Data")
    LR1 = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
End With

A:

Full solution below:
Dim LR1 As Long
    With Sheets("Data")
        LR1 = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
        .Range("A" & LR1) = Sheets("Input").Range("A1")
    End With

textbook:
Lesson: Replacing a cell value with another in the last row of a sheet

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn how to replace a cell value in the last row of a sheet with another value. This is useful when you want to transfer data from one sheet to another or when you need to update a value in the last row of a sheet.

Objective:
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to replace a cell value in the last row of a sheet with another value using VBA code.

Prerequisites:
You should have a basic understanding of Excel and VBA programming.

Instructions:
1. Open a new Excel workbook and create two sheets named "Input" and "Data".
2. In the "Input" sheet, enter a value in cell A1.
3. In the "Data" sheet, select the last row with values using the following VBA code:
```
Dim LR1 As Long
    With Sheets("Data")
        LR1 = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
    End With
```
4. Replace the value in column A of the last row in the "Data" sheet with the value from cell A1 in the "Input" sheet using the following VBA code:
```
Dim LR1 As Long
    With Sheets("Data")
        LR1 = .Range("A" & .Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
        .Range("A" & LR1) = Sheets("Input").Range("A1")
    End With
```
5. Run the VBA code to execute the replacement.

Theory:
- The `Dim` statement declares a variable `LR1` as a `Long` data type.
- The `With` statement selects the "Data" sheet and sets the active cell to the last row with values.
- The `End With` statement ends the `With` block.
- The `Range` function returns a range object representing the cells in the "Data" sheet.
- The `End(xlUp)` method of the `Range` object returns the last row with values in the "Data" sheet.
- The `.Range("A" & LR1)` line sets the value from the "Input" sheet in cell A1 to the last row of the "Data" sheet in column A.

Practice:
1. What is the purpose of the `With` statement in VBA?
2. How does the `End(xlUp)` method work?
3. Can you explain the `.Range("A" & LR1)` line of code?

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned how to replace a cell value in the last row of a sheet with another value using VBA code. We covered the theory behind the code and practiced with some exercises. By applying this skill, we can efficiently transfer data between sheets and update values in the last row of a sheet.
