West Point Lake is a man-made reservoir impounded by the West Point Dam, a dam built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on the Chattahoochee River that provides flood control and hydroelectric power. It also provides a reservoir for water to aid the navigation of the lower Chattahoochee. The reservoir extends for about 35 mi (56 km) along the Chattahoochee River near the Alabama-Georgia state boundary.


West Point Lake also contains recreational areas surrounding the lake. The east bank of the lake includes recreational areas such as R. Shaefer Heard Park[1] and Long Cane Park, which contains a boat launching area hidden deep in the woods west of US 29.[2] This park is named for the former unincorporated community which today consists only of intersections with US 29 at Gabbettville Road and Lower Glass Bridge Road, including a local gas station/bait and tackle shop. Parklands on the Lower Glass Bridge Road side of the lake include Maple Creek Park, Potts Road Park and the Earl Cook Access area. The north end of the lake along Georgia State Route 109 includes the proposed Wehalkee Service Area, the Whitetail Ridge Campground, Horace King Access area and Pyne Road Park.


On the west bank in Alabama, recreation areas surround Chambers CR 212 and consist of the Hardley Creek Recreation Area, West Overlook Area, Burnt Village Park, West Lake Recreation Area, all of which are officially addressed as being in Lanett. Amity Park and the Amity Campground can be accessed along CR 394. The northwest side of the lake includes Veasey Creek Recreation Area, which can only be accessed from Chambers CRs 264 and 463 and Oakland Park which can only be accessed along Chambers CR 263.

Displaying single band from multi-band raster using QGIS

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP 1 How can I extract a single band from multi-band raster in QGIS? I have an remote sensed image which has 6 bands (including NDVI band), I want to display each band separately, but have no idea how to do. I have seen some questions similar here but none worked for me. The original image (has 6 bands) is: I want to display the band 6 which should be like this: But I tried gdal_translate, and couldn't get the correct result.

How many registers does an x86_64 CPU actually have?

Image
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite I am currently learning reverse engineering and am studying the flags register. I had in my mind that rflags was just another name for one of the 16 general purpose registers, for example rax or rbx . But it looks like rflags is actually an additional register. So that makes 17 registers in total... how many more could there be? I have spent at least an hour on this and found numerous different answers. The best answer so far is this, which says that there are 40 registers in total. 16 General Purpose Registers 2 Status Registers 6 Code Segment Registers 16 SSE Registers 8 FPU/MMX Registers But if I add that up, I get 48. Could anybody provide an official answer on how many registers an x86_64 CPU has (e.g. an Intel i7). Additionally, I have seen references to 'hardware' and 'architectural' registers. What are those registers and how many are there? register x86-64 share | improve this...
