How to Read 12 Digit UPC Barcodes

Most bar codes in the US are 12-digit UPC (Universal Product Code) barcodes, with ten digits at the bottom of the code and one small number to each side. Impress your friends by asking them to select a random item from the kitchen with a removable label and cut the numbers off of the UPC barcode; you can then proceed to read the numbers encoded in the lines.

STEP

1. Note that barcodes are made up of both white and black lines. The white spaces in between the black lines are part of the code
2. Understand that there are four different thicknesses to the lines. Henceforth, the skinniest line will be referred to as "1," the medium-sized line as "2," the next largest line as "3." and the thickest is "4."
3. Recognize that each UPC barcode begins and ends with 101 (thin black, thin white, thin black). In the very middle of the barcode, you will notice two thin black lines sticking down between the numbers. The thin white between them, as well as the thin whites to either side, make up a 01010. Each UPC barcode has 01010 in the middle.
4. Recognize that each digit, including the small numbers that begin and end the barcode, has its own unique four-line set. 0 = 3211, 1 = 2221, 2 = 2122, 3 = 1411, 4 = 1132, 5 = 1231, 6 = 1114, 7 = 1312, 8 = 1213, 9 = 3112. (Note that the sum of bar widths numbers is 7 for all codes because each code is 7 units wide.
5. So, the barcode above whose first two digits are 03 would start out "10132111411". Broken down this is "101-3211-1411" where 101 marks the beginning of the bar code and 3211 marks the digit 0

You Were Always On My Mind, Guitar Lesson Part 2

3D Driving School, Edutainment Software in Driving

If you want to make your driver's licence and save time and money, choose exercising with a simulator. Get familiar with everyday traffic conditions without risking damages and tickets. Or simply enjoy the breathtaking 3D worlds of 3D Driving-School (Auto-école 3D).

	Get driving experience step by step in our small town Gobesdorf: Training ground, right before left, grant right of way, stop, driving over traffic lights, turning right and left correctly, mirror and schoulder-checks etc. Our virtual driving instructors always keep the nerves.
	Drive during rain, snow, and in the night. When do I switch headlights and windscreen-wipers on?
	Big-city traffic in Berlin. Mixed rules with a higher traffic density; you will need the horn definitely.
	We also have the specified special drives: Cross-country trip on our secondary road as well as a big Europe motorway connecting Germany, France, Netherlands and Spain.
	Fleet of vehicles for the different driver license classes: Class B (5 cars), class S (2 quads), class A (3 motorcycles), and A1 with our Pantheon scooter.

it may be still more? Switch on your navigation system and drive across Europe's streets:

	Driving on the left in London. Special signalling rules and new road signs require your whole knowledge.
	Defensive training in Paris - don't let yourself be provoked by our traffic-rowdies.
	Night journey in virtual Madrid.
	Virtual historical city of Ghent in Belgium with a police game for people who like faster to drive (only with flashing blue light, however!)
	You are pupils and would like to study languages? Try our native speaker for English, German, French, and Flemish.

You can practise in big cities, completely with streets and signs, buildings, pedestrians and of course other cars. The pupil "sits" in the car cockpit, "goes" through the simulated world and must observe all traffic regulations, of course. According to acoustic instruction of the driving instructor, the learner driver drvies trough various problem situations: give right-of-way situations, parking, compliance with speed-limits. What is important reality has to be respected here as well: the right speed, signal and brakes, attention of the signs, the look into the mirror or doing a correct schoulder-check.

The control is carried out via keyboard and mouse or optional over steering wheel with pedals. After ending an exercise you will get a report detailling your driving mistakes. Statistics give information about the individual weaknesses so that you can exercise them specifically. Alternatively you have also the possibility to move in the scenes freely; the driving instructor instructions even can be removed.
