Ruthless Nadal into round three

World number one Rafael Nadal powered his way into the third round of the French Open, beating Russian Teimuraz Gabashvili 6-1 6-4 6-1.

After taking the first set comfortably, the Spaniard was made to work harder for the second but still prevailed.

Gabashvili showed spirit but was ultimately powerless to prevent Nadal sealing the match in straight sets.

Seventh seed Gilles Simon is also through after a 7-5 6-0 6-1 win over American Robert Kendrick.

Gabashvili began extremely well, taking the first three points of the match to have three break points, but Nadal quickly refocused and claimed the next five to avert danger.

The top seed may not have had it entirely his own way for the remainder of the set but the power and accuracy of his forehand was simply too much for Gabashvili and Nadal was able to wrap it up for the loss of just one game.

In the second set Gabashvili produced more than double Nadal’s winners with 12 to five, which goes someway towards explaining his increased competitiveness – represented by four games won – throughout the set.

Slumdog child star gets new home

Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle and the trust he set up have bought a new home for one of the child stars of his Oscar-winning movie.

The filmmaker, who is currently in Mumbai, has told Azharuddin Ismail, 9, he will be re-housed after his family was made to leave the slums.

Boyle, who has been criticised for not helping the child actors enough, blamed the press for raising expectations.

“Inevitably, the tension and pressure is media generated,” he said.

He said he hoped a new home would also be found for Rubina Ali, who played Latika, before the monsoon rains in June.

“They were given access to a world, an extraordinary and glamorous world, and they understandably want their lives to be completely transformed,” he said.

Soon after the movie was finished, Boyle and producer Christian Colson set up the Jai Ho trust, which was aimed to help the children financially until they turned 18.

“The homes are a concern. That is one of the reasons why we built the trust,” Boyle said.

Getting Started with OpenCV in Visual Studio 2005

Step 1: Create a new project.

Step 2: Select Win32 Console Application

Step 3: We want an Empty project

 

Step 4: Done creating the project

Step 5: Create a new item

Step 6: Create a C++ file, the name is your choice.

Step 7: Modify the project properties

Step 7: Select All Configurations

Step 9: Go to Configuration Properties / C/C++ / General / Additional Include Directories

 

Step 10: Enter the path to your include files: For default OpenCV install location, they are

"C:\Program Files\OpenCV\cvaux\include\";"C:\Program Files\OpenCV\cxcore\include\";"C:\Program Files\OpenCV\cv\include\";"C:\Program Files\OpenCV\otherlibs\highgui\";"C:\Program Files\OpenCV\otherlibs\cvcam\include\"

Step 11: Go to Configuration Properties / Linker / Input / Additional Dependencies


Enter the path to all the relevant cv libs. For a default install, this is:
"C:\Program Files\OpenCV\lib\cv.lib" "C:\Program Files\OpenCV\lib\cxcore.lib" "C:\Program Files\OpenCV\lib\cvaux.lib" "C:\Program Files\OpenCV\lib\highgui.lib"
(notice the spaces instead of ; marks)  Guess what, you're done !!!  Just write some sample code and start debugging. Happy openCVing !!!
