G'MIC is an open and full-featured framework for image processing, providing several different user interfaces to convert/manipulate/filter/visualize generic image datasets, from 1d scalar signals to 3d+t sequences of multi-spectral volumetric images.
G'MIC is a full-featured open-source framework for image processing, distributed under the CeCILL license. It provides several different user interfaces to convert / manipulate / filter / visualize generic image datasets, ranging from 1d scalar signals to 3d+t sequences of multi-spectral volumetric images, thus including 2d color images.
A command-line interface gmic, to use the G'MIC image processing features from a shell. In this setting, G'MIC may be seen as a friendly companion to the ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick software suites.
A small, portable, thread-safe and multi-threaded, C++ image processing library libgmic, to be linked to third-party applications. Its simple API allows programmers to add all G'MIC features in their own software without much efforts (a C API is available as well)
A plug-in gmic_gimp, to bring G'MIC capabilities to the image retouching software GIMP. More than 450 filters are already available, sorted by category (Artistic, Black & white, Colors, Contours, Deformations, Degradations, Details, Film emulation, Frames, Layers, Light & shadows, Patterns, Rendering, Repair, Sequences, etc
A web service G'MIC Online, to allow users applying image processing algorithms on their images, directly from a web browser.
A Qt-based interface ZArt, for real-time processing of video streaming coming from webcams or video files.

Open source JDBC 3.0 type 4 driver for Microsoft SQL Server (6.5 up to 2012) and Sybase ASE. jTDS is a complete implementation of the JDBC 3.0 spec and the fastest JDBC driver for MS SQL Server. For more information see
Overview
jTDS is an open source 100% pure Java (type 4) JDBC 3.0 driver for Microsoft SQL Server (6.5, 7, 2000, 2005, 2008 and 2012) and Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (10, 11, 12 and 15). jTDS is based on FreeTDS and is currently the fastest production-ready JDBC driver for SQL Server and Sybase ASE. jTDS is 100% JDBC 3.0 compatible, supporting forward-only and scrollable/updateable ResultSets, concurrent (completely independent) Statements and implementing all the DatabaseMetaData and ResultSetMetaData methods. Check out the feature matrix for more details.
Quite a few of the commercial JDBC drivers out there are based on jTDS (or FreeTDS), even if they no longer acknowledge this. jTDS has been tested with virtually all JDBC-based database management tools and is the driver of choice for most of these (recommended for DbVisualizer and SQuirreL SQL, distributed with Aqua Data Studio and DataDino). jTDS is also becoming a common choice for enterprise-level applications: it passes both the J2EE 1.3 certification and Hibernate test suites, and is recommended for JBoss, Hibernate, Atlassian JIRA and Confluence and Compiere.
Getting Started
Being a type 4 driver, jTDS does not need any special installation. Just drop the jar file into your application's classpath and you're done. All you need to know is the name of the Driver and DataSource implementations and the URL format and you're all set. You can get these and a lot more information from the Frequently Asked Questions page. For features needing native libraries such as XA support or Single-Sign-On consult the specific README files.
jTDS is free software. jTDS is released under the terms of the GNU LGPL, giving you not only the posibility to debug and tweak it to your own liking but also to use it in and distribute it with your free or commercial applications.
The other "free" choices, the JDBC-ODBC bridge and Microsoft's own JDBC driver are not actually free. If you encounter an issue with any of them you won't be able to fix it yourself and response times from both Microsoft and Oracle are anything but short.
jTDS is also the most performant JDBC driver for both SQL Server and Sybase. We have an older benchmark result but we strongly encourage you to download any benchmark published by commercial JDBC driver vendors and see for yourself. Here are a couple of benchmarks you could use: JNetDirect's JDBC Performance Benchmark and i-net Software's BenchTest 2.1 for MS SQL Server.

First of all, thanks to Ramu Ramanathan, Professor Emeritus of the University of California, San Diego, for open-sourcing his "ESL" econometric code, which was the starting point for the development of gretl. Professor Ramanathan is author of Introductory Econometrics (Dryden, currently in its 5th edition). Ramu has also been a very helpful critic over the course of gretl's development.
Many people have sent in useful bug reports and suggestions for gretl's development. We are particularly indebted to Ignacio Díaz-Emparanza, Tadeusz Kufel, Pawel Kufel, Dirk Eddelbuettel, Sven Schreiber and Andreas Rosenblad. A. Talha Yalta plays a helpful role in scrutinizing and reporting on gretl's numerical accuracy.
Many thanks to Ignacio Díaz-Emparanza, Susan Orbe, Michel Robitaille, Florent Bresson, Cristian Rigamonti, Tadeusz and Pawel Kufel, Markus Hahn, Sven Schreiber, Hélio Guilherme, Henrique Andrade, Alexander Gedranovich, Talha Yalta, Y. N. Yang, Pavla Nikolovova, Jan Hanousek, Artur Bala, Manolis Tzagarakis, Ioannis Venetis, Vitalie Ciubotaru and Mihaela Nicolau for their work in translating gretl.
Thanks to William Greene, author of Econometric Analysis, for his permission to include in the gretl package some datasets relating to interesting examples in his text.
Thanks to the good people on the comp.lang.c of old and gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org for expert advice on many issues. Thanks to Richard Stallman of the Free Software Foundation for all his work in developing and promoting free software, and more specifically for agreeing to "adopt" gretl as a GNU program.

Sardanais the control program initially developed at ALBA. Our mission statement: Produce a modular, high performance, robust, and generic user environment for control applications in large and small installations. Make Sardana the generic user environment distributed in the Tango project and the standard basis of collaborations in control. The origin of the Sardana name comes from a Catalan dance to honor the region where the ALBA synchrotron is build. Sardana is entirely built over Python, Qt and Tango. If you like the tools you will love Sardana. (Download File)
While the date of the origins of this Spanish dance is unclear, as some people believe that the Sardana was already very popular as early as the 16th Century, what is clear is that it was popular in Empordá in the latter part of the 19th Century. The 19th Century saw the Sardana exploding in popularity, carrying it across the Catalan region. The Sardana became so famous that it came to stand for Catalan identity and nationalism after the 'Renaixença' (Renaissance) in Catalonia at the beginning of the 19th Century.

The Sardana became so famous that it came to stand for Catalan identity and nationalism after the 'Renaixença' (Renaissance) in Catalonia at the beginning of the 19th Century.
Like many other Spanish folk dances, the Sardana was choreographed, although this happened to the Sardana much later than other dances, in the late 19th Century. The resulting choreographed product contained slight differences to the original version of the Sardana from Empordá.
After the Spanish Civil War, and the arrival of the dictatorship of General Francisco Franco, the Sardana, along with many other regional traditions, was banned for being a symbol of the Catalan identity and nationalism. In 2010 however, the Catalan government declared that the Sardana was worthy enough to be added to their list of Catalan festivities and made it a dance of national interest.
The Sardana is not a particular fast Spanish dance, compared to some of the other dances in Spain, and is therefore easy for newcomers to learn. It also means you do not have to be overly physically fit or a professional dancer to take part either!
Being a circle dance, the Sardana is very variable, especially in terms of the number of dancers. Often when a Sardana begins to be performed in a street or at a party, people come along and join in, hence the circle gets bigger and bigger. Normally, people in the circle alternate in gender, i.e. man, woman, man, woman.
Professional dancing troupes of Sardanas also exist and are called 'colles'. These organized groups tend to have their own costumes or outfits which are specific to their 'colla'. For example, the 'Colla Estol-Espígol', a group from Agramunt, to the West of Barcelona, wear white clothes with green saches, belts, gloves, trousers and shoes.
