Digit sums of multiples of 11

"Some multiples of 11 have an even digit sum. For example, 7*11 = 77 and 7+7 = 14, which is even; 11*11 = 121 and 1+2+1 = 4, which is even. Do all multiples of 11 have an even digit sum? (Prove that they do or find the smallest that does not.)"(Source)
To practice my Java programming skills (I've began learning Java about a month ago) I wrote a small program that finds all the numbers for which the statement does not hold.
The output looks like this:

> run Multilpe11 Some multiples of 11 have an even digit sum.  For example, 7*11 = 77 and  7+7 = 14, which is even; 11*11 = 121 and 1+2+1 = 4, which is even.   Do all multiples of 11 have an even digit sum?  (Prove that they do or  find the smallest that does not.) For how many consecutive multiples of 11 would you like to check if the  statement is correct:  1000 These are 36 numbers smaller than 1000, that are multiples of 11, but  whose digit sum is not even. These numbers are: 209 308 319 407 418 429 506 517 528 539 605 616 627 638 649 704 715 726  737 748 759 803 814 825 836 847 858 869 902 913 924 935 946 957 968 979

So, the statement is not true for all multiples of 11. It is only true for multiples of 11 smaller than 209.
And finally the java files, so you can test if for yourself:
Multiple11.java

Basic cell counting and segmentation in Matlab

Counting cells manually is a tedious error prone process for humans. Given a large data set of microscopy images this task can be achieved much faster by means of basic computer vision techniques. In this tutorial we will segment cells from an image following a method similar to the one presented by Yongming Chen in 1999. The method uses basic morphological operations and the watershed algorithm to segment the cells. Nowadays better methods for cell segmentation exist. This method was chosen for its simplicity and ease of implementation. We start with an image of cell-like structures by Anna-Katerina Hadjantonakis and Virginia E Papaioannou . A = imread('cells.jpg'); We convert the image to grayscale: I = rgb2gray(A); To be able to extract the dimmer cells, it is necessary to perform some local contrast adjustments I = adapthisteq(I); Objects on the borders can be caused by noise and other artifacts. We can eliminate objects on the borders

Project planning in a text file

Whenever you work on a project it is important to be able to plan it ahead of time. This holds true for small and big project, from planning a trip to the spa to building a spaceship. The small project plans can be maintained in you thoughts while bigger ones require tools to help you see the big-picture of the project and manage task at a lower level. There are projects which start with a fully prepared plan and projects which pivot overnight, thus invalidating any original plan. For the latter flexibility is very important, and tools like Trello offer a great solution because they can be adjusted to fit your project. However, it may happen sometimes that the project starts adjusting to the tool or that you still want to maintain a bigger picture of the main points of the project. You may also need to produce a rough development schedule to serve as a long term road-map. I have prototyped a tool (and defined a workflow) which allows you to plan such projects. To better understa

The Increased Addictiveness of Today's Video Games

This is a guest post by Miles Walker, a freelance writer and blogger who usually compares car insurance deals over at CarinsuranceComparison.Org. His most recent review looked at the best car insurance quotes . Video games have always held some addiction, but now more than ever that addiction is growing. People are spending more time than ever playing the games, and game designers are constantly finding new ways keep it that way. Their efforts have a been a complete success, and some games have true addicts, addicts who play 24 hours a week or more. Visual enhancements Video games have come a long way since a certain duo of Italian plumbers started showing up in people's houses in the late 1980s. By leaps and bounds, video game graphics have become alarmingly sophisticated. Each graphical improvement increased a game's possibilities and added more depth to video games. Designers began thriving on this depth, making games with more achievements, unlocks, levels an
