Interesting post proposing deliberately avoiding single-sourced IDs: "A pragmatic solution with no unique ID is the opposite. There's no up-front data cleansing. ID is continuously inferred, the system copes with duplicates, and structure is applied retrospectively. Ther's a presumption of ambiguity which makes us proceed with appropriate caution. Quality increases with volume and over time. There's little up-front cost. "
This is pretty well what we have now, isn't it? Driving license, electoral register, NHS records, etc. all contribute to identity.

The Lonely IslandThe Lonely Island dudes aren't famous. In fact, they are better than famous -- they are almost famous, which means it's still cool to like them. Ardy, Kiv and Jorm, collectively referred to as "The Dudes", make humorous short films and music video parodies. Since The Dudes started posting their work on their website in September 2001, they have gained representation from United Talent Agency.During the production of the first Lonely Island pilot episode White Power, actor Kiefer Sutherland accidentally interrupted filming. In the scene, The Dudes, needing money to fund their tooth whitener addiction, beat an old lady and snatch her purse. Kiefer stopped his car to rescue the old lady, only to realize that it was being filmed from across the street. According to InStyle magazine, the National Enquirer ran a story recounting the incident: "Kiefer Sutherland was driving near UCLA when he saw a man snatching a woman's purse. Sutherland raced after the thief, leaped out of his car, and screamed, 'Stop!' The guy explained that he was shooting a student film, and the crew then begged Sutherland to appear in their work-in-progress." However, when asked to comment Sutherland's publicist claimed "It sounds bigger than it was, he was driving by, saw a woman getting her purse snatched, and tried to catch the thief. But he soon realized he was interrupting a student film. They didn't ask him to appear in it." Kiefer would later tell the story as a humorous anecdote on the Tonight Show and then again a year later on Letterman, each time with increasing embellishment.
A second attempt at a pilot, Regarding Ardy was screened February 18, 2003 at Comedy Central's proving ground the Stage at the Hudson. The twenty minute short includes an introduction by Brooke Shields appearing as herself, in which she "lets loose and huffs some ether," subsequently sleeping with The Dudes and getting knocked up. In real life, Shields was pregnant with her daughter Rowan Francis, who was born in May.

Specify the regex matcher to use for the $N3 view name replacement eg (\w)\w*|\s to select initial letters.
The view name is processed with replaceAll(regexMatch, regexReplacement).
Only need one backslash for escaping special characters.
eg with '(\w)\w*|\s' and '$1', the initial letters will be kept
eg 'All The Jobs We Have' will be shortened to ATJWH
which is quite a neat way of shortening tab names when you have lots of tabs and use a consistent naming convention.
Alternatively, choose to only use the status information label patterns when there are unsuccessful jobs.

Location-based photography sharing site for sharing beautiful photographs and finding inspiration. Built for COGS187A. Backend built with Python-Flask deployed on Heroku; photos stored in AWS S3. Used the Google maps API with a custom color scheme. Team of 5. I worked on some UI/UX design and worked on most of the implementation.


LINE Episode I: A New Hope¶
If you are a core pythonic programmer, you can jump into writing the code right away! But if you are not familiar with Python, you should read this tutorial first before proceeding to the more details of line. Now, this manual will git you a quick introduction on how you can send a message and do other things with line
Part 1: Login and Pin authentication¶
Let’s start with login to LINE and pass through a pin authentication.
>>> from line import LineClient
>>> client =<EMAIL_ADDRESS>"xxxxxxxxxx")
Enter PinCode '7390' to your mobile phone in 2 minutes
>>> client = LineClient("carpedm20", "xxxxxxxxxx")
Enter PinCode '9779' to your mobile phone in 2 minutes
Warning
You will failed to login because of the request of LINE corporation. (I have to remove some codes) However, you can use this library by login with authToken. The instruction about authToken login is explained in bellow paragraphs.
As you can see, you can login by making a LineClient instance and pass your email and password as parameters. If you have a NAVER account and link it to LINE account, you can login with your NAVER account!
Then, you will see a PinCode which you have to put in to your mobile phone to authenticate your LineClinet instance as a desktop Line client. This number will be expired in 2 minutes, so don’t be lazy!
If you enter your Pincode to your mobile phone, now you can see your authToken which will notify your LINE session.
>>> authToken = client.authToken
>>> print authToken
DJg5VZTBdkjMCQOeodf4.9guiWkX1koTnwiGNVkacva.49blBzv5W9ex/2M06QQofByLxigMCAnnGfmTOAgY3wo=
With this authToken, you don’t have to enter Pincode when you create a new LineClient instance!
>>> client = LineClient(authToken=authToken)
You can save your authToken in cache like redis or something else!
Note
If the client will be expired after a specific time (I couldn’t find a exact time yet), so you have to get a new authToken after it is expired.
Part 2: Profile and Contacts¶
Now, let’s see your profile to check whether PinCode authentication was successful or not.
>> profile = client.profile
>> print profile
<LineContact 김태훈>
You might want to send any message to your friend that you have succeeded to login to LINE! But you have to choose which one to send a message.
>>> print client.contacts # your friends
[<LineContact 파랑봇> <LineContact 검정봇>]
Then, choose anyone to send a hello world message, and send it away!
>>> friend = client.contacts[0]
>>> friend.sendMessage("hello world!")
True
If you want to send a sticker (which is one of the most fun features of LINE!)
>>> friend.sendSticker() # send a default sticker
True
>>> friend.sendSticker(stickerId="13",stickerPackageId="1",stickerVersion="100")
True
If you see True message, then it means message is successfully sended to your friend. If you want to receive 10 recent messages:
>>> messages = friend.getRecentMessages(count=10)
>>> print messages
[LineMessage (contentType=NONE, sender=None, receiver=<LineContact 파랑봇>, msg="hello World!")]
I just make a one conversation with 파랑봇 so I only get one message with getRecentMessages method.
Part 3: Rooms and Groups¶
There are two type of chat rooms in LINE, one is just a room with multiple users, and the other is group which have more features then room. For examle, group has its own name but room don’t have any room for itself.
Now let’s see a list of group and room you are participated in.
>>> print client.groups
[<LineGroup 하트 #4>, <LineGroup 검정 #1 (invited)>]
>>> print client.rooms
<LineRoom [<LineContact 파랑봇>]>, <LineRoom [<LineContact 파랑봇>, <LineContact 검정봇>]>]
In the case of client.groups you can see a word (invited) and this represent that you are invited to a group but you didn’t accep the invitation yet. ‘#{number}’ means the number of members in the specific group. If you want to accept it:
>>> group = client.groups[1]
>>> group.acceptGroupInvitation()
True
Other methods are same as the case of contact like if you want to get a list of recent messages, use getRecentMessages method:
>>> messages = client.contacts[0].getRecentMessages(count=10)
>>> messages = client.groups[0].getRecentMessages(count=15)
If you have too much groups and want to find a specific group with its name:
>>> group = client.getGroupByName('GROUP_NAME')
>>> contact = client.getContactByName('CONTACT_NAME')
There are other methods in contact, rooms and group instances so I’ll recommend you to take a look at the models section.
Part 4: Make your own bot¶
So, most of you may want to use line to make your LINE bot. I also started this project to make a bot, so let’s talk about how to make our own bot. Below code is a basic structure of a LINE bot:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 | from line import LineClient, LineGroup, LineContact
try:
client = LineClient("ID", "PASSWORD")
#client = LineClient(authToken="AUTHTOKEN")
except:
print "Login Failed"
while True:
op_list = []
for op in client.longPoll():
op_list.append(op)
for op in op_list:
sender = op[0]
receiver = op[1]
message = op[2]
msg = message.text
receiver.sendMessage("[%s] %s" % (sender.name, msg))
|
One of the most important line is #12, and you might notice there is a new method named longPoll. This method pull a list of operations which should be handled by our LINE bot. There are various type of operations, but our interest might be RECEIVE_MESSAGE operation. This operation contain a new message sent by other contact, room or group. So we can get a received message and its sender by
sender = op[0]
receiver = op[1]
message = op[2]


*Blue highlighted are the more important notes
The transition metal present in the formula is first in the name of the whole compound and does not change.
e.g. Fe is Iron so, FeCl2 = Iron(II) Chloride
The second Element in the formula (always a nonmetal) is the second word in the compound's name and adds the -ide suffix
e.g. Cl is Chlorine so, FeCl2= Iron(II) Chloride
you can use specific names that clarify the charge of the element. These are the only ones you
need to know
General Rule: -ous has a lower charge than -ic e.g. Fe+2 + Cl- = Iron(II) Chloride = Ferrous Cholride
All of these elements have constant charges and do not require a Roman Numeral. Click on the formula to get the answer FeCl2 → Iron(II) (Ferrous) chloride FeI3 → Iron(III) (Ferric) Iodide CuF2 → Copper(II) floride PbS → Lead(II) sulfide MnCl4 → Manganese(IV) Chloride

I have an urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On october 15, 1999, our client Mr. Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah who was the deputy governor of Baghdad in Iraq and also business man made a numbered fixed deposit for 12 calendar months, with a value of Fourty Millions Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars only in my branch. Upon maturity several notice was sent to him, even after the war late this year. Another notification was sent and still no response came from him.

According to the ghana Law,under ecowas's foreign and defense affairs,at the expiration of 5 (five) years,such funds will revert to the ownership of the ghanian Government for financing military operations,such as purchasing of arms and ammunitions for the military. In order to avert this negative development,i will like to seek for your permission as a foreigner to stand as the next of kin to Mr. Hatem Kamil Abdul Fatah so that the fruits of this old man's labor will not be use for financing weapons which will further enhance the courses of war in the world in general.

THE MUMMY by DeWyNGaLe Rating: A-
http://members.aol.com/DeWyNGaLe
The summer movie season is always the biggest and brightest season for movies throughout the year. We are introduced to blockbuster hits that are usually trashed by critics, loved by the people, and make tons of money at the box office. This year, the tradition continues with an update on the Universal 1932 classic, The Mummy. I have always been a sucker for this kind of monster movies, and I always seem to be the only critic who really likes them. That tradition continues as well with this fun special effects extravaganza.
In The Mummy, the up and coming Brendan Fraser stars as the adventurous explorer Rick O'Connell. He teams up with a curious, clumsy librarian named Evelyn, played by Rachel Weisz, to find the mysterious city of the dead, Hamunaptra. Evelyn loves Egypt, and would truly like to visit the city that people call a fable. Rick has claimed he has been to Hamunaptra during a battle, and that's why she chose him to lead her there. Also tagging along on the journey to the city of the dead is Evelyn's brother, Jonathan, played by John Hannah (Sliding Doors).
Now in Hamunaptra, the three uncover "The Book of the Dead." The curious Evelyn unlocks the book, reads from it, and now the body of the ancient Egyptian Imhotep (Arnold Vosloo) becomes alive and is out to kill the ones who opened and read from the book. Along with Imhotep arising from the dead, the Ten Curses of Egypt become in full effect, launching unbelievable forces against the three and another group who set out to find Hamunaptra. Not only is Imhotep furious with those who awoke him, he is also out to restore the life of his girlfriend that lost her life long ago in ancient Egypt.
Don't expect huge things out of The Mummy, but just expect to have a good time. This movie is extremely campy and plays out like an old horror film with beefed up special effects, which may turn off some viewers. On the other hand, this type of film is one of my favorites, but that's up to you to decide.
There is one thing that definitely not campy or corny about The Mummy though. The state of the art special effects take you into a completely different world. We are dazzled by faces rising out of the desert, swarms of beetles and locusts, and even creatures crawling under a human's skin. These may have been in other movies before, but not like in The Mummy. As of now, The Mummy holds the title for best special effects of this year, but all this could change when Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace is released into theaters across the country.
In the past, Brendan Fraser has played mainly comedic roles. When playing "George" in Disney's George of the Jungle, he was mainly not known by anyone. I would say that Gods and Monsters is the film that gave him a name, and now The Mummy will give him a name amongst teens. In The Mummy, Fraser gets to play an action hero, and I liked him in this sort of role over the comedic role, as in the films Blast From the Past and George of the Jungle.
Although Brendan Fraser is great, Rachel Weisz gives the best performance among the cast. Weisz really reminded me of a character from an old, horror film. The way she acts, looked, and talked all reminded me of someone not from this time. Evelyn is probably the only character that was likable, considering that the other characters, like John Hannah's, didn't get much personal attention.
In many films, when different genres are mixed, the mixing usually works, and I like it for the most part. In The Mummy though, not all of the mixing works. There are some scenes that have a lot of potential horror, some with potential comedy, some with potential drama, and some with potential pure action, but the film tries to mix them together too often for the mixing to work. The Mummy could have gotten an "A" rating from me if it had gone purely with one of these. I didn't mind the corny one-liners here and there during action sequences, but it certainly could have done without them.
The cinematography is amazing in The Mummy. Particularly in one scene depicting ancient Egypt, we are taken into a very fun portrayal of Egypt, mummies, and the treasures left behind by the ancient Egyptians. The costume design in the film is also up there with the great cinematography. From ancient Egyptians outfits to original troops outfits, the costumes are always top notch.
The Bottom Line- With The Mummy, the summer is off to its usually great start.

POLICE STORY III: SUPERCOP A film review by Eric Brochu Copyright 1996 Eric Brochu
Starring: Jackie Chan, Maggie Cheung, Michelle Yeoh Directed by: Stanley Tong
Jackie Chan has rocketed to mainstream acceptance with Rumble in the Bronx, and Miramax and New Line have deals lined up to distribute four more Jackie Chan films between them. With Jackie in the public eye so much, many new fans are wondering about his older films. Unfortunatly many of the most readily available rentals are old, dull films, made before Jackie Chan really developed a personal style. With this series of reviews, I intend to cover a broad range of his better works. While they are not easy to find, I hope that people who read these reviews and are interested in the films will be inspired to seek out the specialty shops and Chinatowns where these movies _are_ available, and see Jackie not as he appears in his early chop-sockey films or even as he appears in the weak Rumble in the Bronx, but as the charming, talented, amazing entertainer that he is.
One of Jackie Chan's most spectacular and enjoyable films is his 1992 hit Police Story III: Supercop. While it is the third installment of this highly successful and entertaining series, there is no difficulty in understanding it if you haven't seen the first two. In these films, Jackie plays a determined and eager Hong Kong cop named Chan Chia-chu, who finds himself in the midst of all manner of criminal mischief, which he kung fu kicks and jokes his way out of with a "just part of my job" stoicism. A running gag which crops up in this movie is Chia-chu's relationship with his pretty, but jealous girlfriend May (Maggie Cheung).
At the beginning of Police Story III: Supercop, we learn that Interpol and the Royal Hong Kong Police are looking for a cop to do the almost impossible (and extremely dangerous, natch) job of doing something about drug smuggling in Southeast Asia. Guess who gets tricked by his superiors into volunteering?
After a classic Jackie bit in which Chia-chu makes arrangements with May in case he doesn't return -- without telling her he's doing anything dangerous -- he's off to China, where he is given an undercover identity as a small-time criminal by Director Yang, a Chinese police officer who just happens to be a beautiful woman (Michelle Yeoh). Well, in all honesty, I had trouble following the plot after this point; it has holes the size of a freight train, and I think there are some scenes missing in the version I saw (or maybe it just seems like there are). If you can look beyond this, though (and even I, fussy movie watcher that I am, had no problem with simply ignoring the gaps), you're in for a real treat: the movie, particularly the second half, alternates between hilariously funny and absolutely amazing, featuring some of the most amazing stunts ever put on film.
Jackie is in great form here. Sure, he doesn't have an amazing range as an actor, but that's not the point. He's as charming, witty and charismatic as ever, and a real joy to watch. And when he performs his stunts and fight scenes, it is easy to see why he is so deservedly popular an action star. In one heart- stopping scene, he leaps from a rooftop onto a rope ladder dangling from a helicopter, which then flies through downtown Kuala Lumpur trying to shake him off. The camera angles make it perfectly clear both that it really is Jackie on the end of that rope ladder and that it was shot without special effects: he really is flailing around thirty stories up or passing so close over a train that he is momentarily obscured by the engine's smoke!
Yeoh is also enjoyable to watch as the efficient Communist cop who ends up teaming with Jackie. Not only is she very attractive, she is a great action movie star, and she gets some of the best fight scenes, comic situations (just watch what she does when she finds herself in the middle of a gunfight with a bullet-proof vest full of dynamite (!) ), and stunts (in one amazing sequence, she jumps from a hill to the top of a moving train on a motorcycle). At times, she threatens to upstage Jackie on his home turf, certainly no easy feat.
One of the few weak points of the film, though, is that Yeoh and Jackie don't really have any chemistry together. I got the impression that nobody was really sure if they should have a cop-buddy relationship or some sort of sexual tension between them, so they decided to have neither, though there are a few hints at both. While it doesn't really hurt the film, it would have been nice to see something besides general coolness between these two engaging entertainers, especially since the unconventional but successful Chia-chu and the tough, by-the-book Inspector Yang are obviously meant to represent Hong Kong and mainland China: it would be nice to explore that subtext in a bit more detail.
There is, however, great chemistry between Jackie and Cheung, whom he runs into while undercover in Malaysia, and it is not at all hard to see why their relationship has been a thread running through the series. Jackie is at his most engaging when he has someone equally charming and down-to-earth like Cheung to work off of. The scenes where Chia-chu is torn between the demands of his job and his unwillingness to risk angering May are some of the warmest and funniest of the film.
Overall, this is a great action film, and features some of Jackie Chan's most amazing stunts, as well as a great supporting cast and some very funny bits. It is also one of his most "western" films in terms of action and style, and people who think they might be turned off by Jackie Chan's brand of kung fu comedy but are still interested in the man might want to look at this film first.

Faith Ringgold or Faith Jones was born to Andrew and Willie Jones. Born on October 8, 1930 in Harlem, New York City, she credits her creativity to the artistic society she grew up in after the Harlem Renaissance. Her father would tell stories and her mother was a fashion designer. This led her to create stories in her quilts.
Ringgold had serious asthma that caused for her to pursue visual arts.
Through the support and encouragement of her family, Ringgold majored in art at the City College of New York at the age of 20. She wasn’t able to major in art because only men were allowed to major in art. Instead, she had to major in art education. She would be allowed to teach art but not make art.
In 1950, Ringgold married a jazz pianist, Robert Wallace, and had two children, Michele and Barbara Wallace. She divorced Wallace four years later due to his heroin addiction. She married her second husband, Burdette Ringgold a couple of years later.
Ringgold gained her B.A. in 1955, and in 1959, gained her master’s degree from City College. From 1987 through 2002, Ringgold worked as a professor at the University of California in San Diego.
In the 1970s, Ringgold joined several organizations that called for a change for women and African-Americans. African-Americans and women were segregated against having high-paying jobs or same-paying jobs as white males. In universities, women were not allowed to pursue professions that were considered for males only.
She works with a variety of media: painting, sculpture, and performance art. She is also the author and illustrator of several books. Her sculptures consisted of masks, full-bodies costumes with openings for eyes and mouths. Her performance art included singing, dancing, masks, and storytelling. However, she is best known for her hand-sewn quilts, uniquely depicting stories or themes. Her quilts are usually bright-colored; several of her quilts serve as cover pages for her books. Some of her quilts include text to explain the story quilts. Her artwork expresses political and societal issues such as racism. She includes these issues in her work due to racism, sexism, and segregation she experienced in her life. Her most famous works include: Tar Beach (1998), Street Story Quilt (1985), Freedom of Speech (1990), Matisse’s Model (1991), Dream 2: King and the Sisterhood (1998), and Bitter Nest#2: Harlem Renaissance Party (1988).
She has been recognized by many organizations, such as the NAACP and met with President Obama on receiving her Peace Corps.
Now 86, she is known for being a political and feminist artist, currently living in Englewood, New Jersey with her husband, Burdette Ringgold.

Erlang is in many ways quite old though many of the problems for which it used are quite modern. The Erlang language and system was designed around a set of requirements for telecom systems. They were distributed, massively concurrent systems which had to scale with demand, be capable of handling massive peak loads and never fail. The Erlang concurrency and error-handling model was developed around these requirements. We will describe the development of the language and the design of systems based on the Erlang showing how well the functional paradigm suits attacking these types of problems. We will also look at the further development with the introduction of new languages in the Erlang environment - the Erlang ecosystem.


The GoConfigurationService
is used to apply a global set of configutions
for the app. Primarily this service is focused on branding configurations.
The service uses a GoConfigInterface
to store the configuration data. This
interface looks like this:
When the GoConfigurationService
is initalized, the defaults for
brandColor
and brandingMode
are:
To use the configuration in its simplest form, only the logo portion needs to be configured.
The GoConfigurationService
can be used to brand a few select
pieces of our design system. Currently the only things that can be branded are the active indicators
on the sidenav, accordions, and the left portion of the header.
The setBrandColor(color: string)
method can be used
to update the branding color by passing in a full 6-digit hex code.
To enable the "Client Branding" mode, the config on the service must be reset.

Question: what sequel has none of the humor, wit, scares or horror of the original cult film "Critters"? Answer: "Critters 2." Easy enough. There have been bad sequels but none as excruciating to sit through as this one, which only shares one aspect of the original's flavor - the title with a number in front of it. It not only recaps the original film with nary a story, but it also lacks any substantial purpose other than to cash in on the original's brand name.
"Critters 2" has also has the distinction of being the most contrived of all sequels. It is so contrived that it has almost no reason to exist as a movie. Consider the plot for a moment. This time, the lovable Brad Brown (Scott Grimes, with an earring) is back, having helped to extinguish all those furball creatures from space years earlier. He returns to Grover's Bend, visiting his grandmother for Easter. Amazingly, he hardly spends any time with her, and instead peruses through some old photographs and a useless slingshot. But what do you know? The Critters' eggs that were left open for a sequel at the end of the original film are now hatching. I recall they were hatching already in the original's closing shot but never mind. Some of the local residents use them as Easter eggs, sold to them by an antique dealer! The new sheriff in town has to dress up as the Easter Bunny! And before you can say the words "unintentional comedy," the sheriff is killed by those mean little furb! alls with razor sharp teeth, and the local residents stay indoors at the local church. And Brad is blamed since his appearance in town coincides with the hatching of the Critters's eggs!!! Can the filmmakers be serious?
But low and behold, the bounty hunters, who are pursuing those furry creatures known as the Cripes (or is the Krites as indicated on the video cover box?), are back at the same damn town to blow them away with their perhaps unintentionally phallic, futuristic shot guns.
The original instilled some sense of dignity with Brad's family trying to protect themselves and their home from the Critters. This time, the human interest level is kaput - in fact, there is not one solid characterization throughout except for the fabulous character actor Barry Corbin (replacing M. Emmet Walsh from the original) as the colorful retired sheriff. Corbin, like Gene Hackman, could never give a lifeless performance if his life depended on it - if he were the main character, this cruddy, lazily patched together sequel might have some substance. The townspeople and the town remain anonymous with no real visible locale threatened except for the local church. There is a laughable, forced romance between Brad and a local reporter that makes after-school specials seem positively sultry by comparison. The critter action scenes are cut far too frantically, and the best the film can do is to show rolling furballs along the dusty roads. As it stands, "Critters 2" is as iner! t and undignified as they come.
Footnote: The most interesting thing to say about "Critters 2" is the scene where one of the bounty hunters tries to shape-shift their appearance into Freddy Krueger from "A Nightmare on Elm Street" ad. Fitting since "A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 3: Dream Warriors" showed a clip from the original "Critters" just before a TV addict met a demise from dear old Freddy.

Potential Climate Change Impacts on Severe Weather
We examine potential changes in frequency of severe weather conditions in a warming
climate by use of output from a scenario simulation made with HadCM. The
simulation spans several centuries and contains a roughly 1% annual increase
in effective GHG concentration. HadCM grid spacing is 2.5 latitude by 3.75
longitude with 19 hybrid sigma-pressure levels (sigma only in the lower
troposphere and pressure-only in the upper stratosphere).
Note at this resolution Florida does not exist (it might not exist in the
future anyway).
Climate change problems are enormous in that a reasonable measure of uncertainty is obtained
only by using multiple GCMs to simulate multiple climate scenarios.
Furthermore, it is sometimes necessary to generate higher resolution
data. It isn't clear if this is necessary for severe weather.
Here, we start with a very small piece of the problem by examining output from one
GCM simulation. The output contains two 10-year slices; one that is representative
of the current climatic conditions and another for the years 2040-2049. We also
include analysis of NCEP-NCAR Reanalysis (NNRP) data for 1990-1999 to identify biases
in HadCM fields. We focus only on the warm season months, April through September, and
limit our analysis to profiles generated at 00 UTC.
Below we show fields of three parameters that are supportive of severe weather: CAPE, 0-6 km Shear,
0-1 km shear. These variables are combined in various ways, i.e. severe weather indices, to
estimate the number of potential
severe weather days. We show fields of severe weather indices .
Main results
- The largest changes are in the frequency of days with extrememly high CAPE.
This might indicate that warming and moistening is greater near the surface than aloft, so that
steeper lapse rates result in the lower half of the troposphere.
The higher frequency of CAPE > 2000 J/kg suggests an increased potential for
severe weather, such as hail, and also heavy rain rates.
- The northward extent of high incidence of high CAPE days does not change. The relative
contributions of moisture transport and convergence into the Midwest and local moistening
can be examined to better understand why this is so.
- The higher incidence of high CAPE days over the Gulf of Mexico in HadCM might be caused
by a bias toward warmer than observed SST in that region.
- The comparitively small decrease of high CAPE days in MN and WI is probably insignificant.
- Also, the small increase of high shear (0-6 km) days in the northern tier is probably
insignificant, suggesting changes in the warm season continental circulation are minimal.
- These results suggest
that changes in potential for severe weather are mostly controlled by low-level warming
and moistening rather than changes of the circulation.
Below are fields of the frequency of CAPE > 2000 J/kg. The parcel for this CAPE calculation
is a 100 mb mixed layer parcel. We note the following:
- HadCM control generally has higher frequency than the NNRP, especially in the Gulf of Mexico.
- HadCM scenario has higher frequency than HadCM control everywhere except WI and MN.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Below are fields of the frequency of 0-6 km shear > 20 m/s. We note the following:
- The changes in this quantity are very small, except east of Hudson's Bay, where the
increase might indicate a northward shift in the position of the mean jet stream.
- HadCM control and NNRP have about 60 days per warm season in the northern US tier, though
maximum frequency in the HadCM is shifted northward compared to in NNRP.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Below are fields of the frequency of 0-1 km shear > 10 m/s. We note the following:
- HadCM control seriously underestimates this frequency in the upper Midwest. This is
a trait of GCMs of this resolution.
- HadCM scenario shows a slight increase in the Midwest, which is physically consistent with the increased incidence of 0-6 km shear > 20 m/s.

Understanding LRFD
February 27, 2021 • calculations fundamentals
LRFD is a fundamental part of modern structural design. Understanding what LRFD is, and why it was developed, can help you to have a deeper and more intuitive understanding of every part of the design process.
In this article, I’m going to move from the basic definition of LRFD into the statistical underpinnings of the methodlogy.
LRFD stands for Load and Resistance Factored Design. So let’s get started by examining load and resistance!
Load and Resistance
Load is probably the most self-explanatory part. When we’re designing a structural element, we are going to apply some load to it - like the self weight of a beam, or the concrete slab, office furntiure, and people who will be walking around above a beam.
Resistance literally means “the ability not to be affected by something, especially adversely”. In the world of structural engineering, when we talk about the resistance of an element, we mean its ability to stand up to the load we’re going to apply.
A quick visualization: imagine we have a paperweight we want to place on our desk. Also on our desk we have a house of cards, and a lucky brick.
The paperweight is our load. We can easily imagine the house of cards collapsing under the paperweight; it has inadequate resistance. The brick will easily support the paperweight; it has adequate resistance.
Mathmatically, we put the load over the resitance and call this ratio the utilization.
A utilizattion less than one (u<1) means the element has capacity to support the load. A utilization greater than 1 (u>1) means the element’s capacity is less than the load applied, and we will see some type of failure.
We can look at the utilizations from our paperweight example like this:
\[{paperweight \over brick} < 1 < {paperweight \over house-of-cards}\]Now that we have a handle on loads and resistance, let’s take a look at factors.
Factored Design
Now we can talk about the factors in LRFD.
The factors used in LRFD are applied to both the loads and the resistance.
We apply factors to account for the fact that we don’t precisely know the loads that will be applied or the resistance our element will have.
For example, our paperweight may weigh a bit less than it is supposed too, or a bit more.
To account for the variability in the loads, we apply a factor to adjust them. We use a factor that produces a worse effect on the structure. This can mean increasing the loads, or decreasing them. For example, we might increase a snow load, because more snow on the beam will be worse. But we might actually decrease the dead load when we’re looking at wind load, since the dead load will help resist the uplfit caused by the wind.
Just as the paperweight may be heaveir or lighter than the design weight, our spaghetti noodle may be a bit thicker than normal, or a bit thinner. Our brick may be very solid, or it might have a chipped corner.
To account for the variaiblity in the resitance, we apply a factor to adjust the resistane of a given element. The resistance factor is always less than one (ɸ<1), because we always want to use a resistance on the lower side of what the element will have.
Eight Tips for Better Engineering Calculations in Excel
February 24, 2021 • calculations excel
I’ve heard it said more than once - Excel is the world’s most widely used programming environment.
This certainly matches with my experience. Everyone has excel, it can do math, and it is pretty easy to format things to print on the page.
Personally, I think Excel is limited at best as an engineering tool. The lack of unit awareness and difficulty in creating “user commentary” are some of my key concerns about developing calculations with this tool.
Nevertheless, most of us will end up creating calculations in Excel at some point. So below are some of the simple steps I recommend for creating Excel calculations which are easier to read, update, QC, and re-use.
Label things clearly
Show clearly what is an input, what’s a calculation, etc. using headings or other means.
Use cell styles
Cell styles help to visually differentiate what is going on with your sheet. Excel conveniently has many built in styles & labels to make it easier to consistently select the same styles for the same type of information. You can also modify these if desired.
Here I’ve added a heading style, input style, and explanatory style. We can see that this already helps to differentiate what I’m communicating about these values
Name variables - use Unicode and subscripts
Say we want to perform a calculation using the unit weight of concrete. By naming our cell, we can make our calculations much clearer.
Using Unicode also makes our names more succinct, and lets them better match the code / design references. If you put the symbol to the left of the value, when you right click to name the cell it will automatically use the values in the adjacent cell.
compart is a simple way to find relevant Unicode characters - you can search by spelling things out, like “gamma”, and then copy over the relevant symbol to excel.
Use =FORMULATEXT() to display equations
A huge benefit of using Unicode to name variables is that your formulas will now be human readable, even when printed and cell labels are not available.
I strongly recommend using FORMULATEXT vs writing out what an equation is supposed to be by hand, because with the latter it is possible to correct what is displayed, but not the actual math being performed.
Apply number formats appropriately
Allow the thousands separator, and adjust the number of significant figures as appropriate for your calculation.
Include figures
There are a few ways to approach creating figures in Excel.
One method I have used is creating figures in Revit, often just using filled regions. I’ll rename dimension strings in Revit to match the symbols in Excel. You can’t do subscripts in Revit’s dimension strings, so the formatting won’t match exactly.
Another possible method is by producing graphs in Excel itself. This is something I’ve seen done more than I have actually performed myself, but it would look something like what I’m showing below. The big thing I haven’t worked out with this method is how to nicely label the dimensions / variables in the graphic I’ve created.
Use groups
Sometimes in Excel it can be helpful to break more complicated logic down into smaller steps. However, these smaller steps are not always appropriate / relevant to include for the printed document.
One way I have found to manage these steps is to use the Data → Group function in excel. This allows you to “group” a number of rows or columns together, and quickly collapse or expand them as needed. I’ve used this to create more detailed logic in the appropriate place in a spreadsheet, and then collapse. This helps with future use / reuse because all the logic is one place, and fits into the normal “flow” of the spreadsheet, but can still be hidden when it isn’t relevant to include.
I’ve used this is for looking up the required factor of safety for sliding based on the structure information and the EM 1110-2-2100 Tables 3-2 and 3-3. As you can see below, I’ve reproduced the information from Tables 3-2 and 3-3. I use user inputs of the structure information to perform a lookup and return the minimum FS.
That minus symbol in red is the group, and when collapsed all that is visible is the relevant output and table reference.
Break things up across sheets
Another general practice I’ve adopted in excel is to try and keep information on a single sheet to what will fit on a single page.
I’ve found that if a calculation is getting longer than a single page, it is helpful to break it up into parts and use the sheet names to help make the calculation easier to navigate.
This also helps avoid producing spreadsheets which are very large and have inputs which can be missed if you don’t scroll over or down far enough to see relevant inputs. I’ll often have a summary tab, an inputs tab, sometimes a separate elevation input tab, and then relevant calculation tabs as required.
What to pack in your field kit
February 14, 2021 • field work gear
A well-packed field kit is critical to having a safe, comfortable, efficient, and non-embarrassing field experience.  In the time since then, I’ve accumulated a field kit that I can now basically grab and go for most inspections. Below are some of the items I’ve added to my field kit over time.
Stuff for taking notes
Clipboard. Can be 11x17 sized or 8 1/2x11 sized. Get the box type, which will allow you to keep pens, drawings, and extra paper inside.
Magnet.  Choose a type that won’t run if the page gets wet. No matter how dry the site is supposed to be, your notes are going to get wet. Bring multiple colors, as this will help make your sketches & notes easier to follow. I’ll have one color for datum, one color for elements, and a color for dimensions.
Paper. If your company has paper with letterhead, choose that. A grid is also helpful. So is a header with space for information it is important to capture, like date, page number, and total page count
Write in the rain paper. Not as pleasant to write with, but good to have in case things get really damp.
Existing drawings and/or blank sketches. If you have some idea of what you’re going to be documenting, it can be really helpful to have a set of existing drawings you can use to orient yourself. For taking notes, I prefer a ‘blank’ sketch I’ve created myself, free of extraneous detail, and often at a larger scale. For example, if you’re inspecting a pier, having a pre-drawn elevation of the pier you can mark up with photo #s is more helpful than an elevation already cluttered with rebar layout information that you won’t be able to verify anyways.
Photo log. No matter how many times I’m convinced I’ll be able to reconstruct what I need from my pictures and my notes, I usually wish I had a detailed photolog explaining all my pictures.
Stuff for in the field
I’m skipping over all the typical PPE, but yes, bring your PPE Gloves. Some people don’t count them as part of standard PPE, but in IMO you should always have a pair.
Emergency contact info for the client and your company A solid bag. One with pockets, pouches, or some other form of internal organization is helpful so you’re not constantly rooting through the whole thing.
Flashlight
Headlamp - one meant to go over your hardhat is best
Grease pencil or lumber pencil for marking up stuff
Camera
Measuring tape - the kind that you press a lever to retract
Laser measuring tape
Calipers
Scraper
Chipping hammer
Sounding hammer
A longish stick.  A longish stick comes in handy more than you’d think.
Knee pads or kneeling mat
Bio needs
Water
DripDrop ORS
Kleenex / handkerchief
Food - MealSquares, CliffBars, or similar.
Field clothes. I keep jeans, a long-sleeved shirt, jacket, and extra socks in my field kit at all times, so if I’m in business casual at the office and get an urgent call I can easily get geared up.
If you’re going to be somewhere remote, gear for relieving yourself. TP, trowel, hand sanitizer or wipes. If you could use one, a pStyle or similar stand-to-pee device.
If it is going to be cold
Helmet liner
Neck warmer / turtle fur
Hand / foot warmers. There are fancy battery powered ones, I usually just use the disposable chemical ones.
Jacket. I keep a separate work jacket with my field gear so my nice ones don’t get trashed on job sites.
If it is going to be wet / rainy
Foul weather gear / bibs / waders
Extra changes of clothes
Wear proper insulating materials, don’t be wearing cotton underneath your bibs.
Stuff for storing the whole damn lot
I have what I believe is a Husky “stackable storage bin” that I keep my field gear in. It is just the right size to fit in the trunk of my hatchback, and holds my field bag, steel toes, hardhat, jacket, and fall protection. (If you store your own fall protection, make sure it is getting turned in on the prescribed basis for a qualified inspection.)
The beauty of having this one bin that hold all my kit is being able to move it easily between my office, house, car, and hotel.

THE TRUMAN SHOW (1998) A Film Review by Ted Prigge Copyright 1998 Ted Prigge
Director: Peter Weir Writer: Andrew Niccol Starring: Jim Carrey, Laura Linney, Ed Harris, Noah Emmerich, Natascha McElhone, Paul Giamatti, Philip Baker Hall, Ted Raymond, Marc Macaulay, Holland Taylor, Harry Shearer
Truman Burbank is an insurance salesman who lives on a gorgeous, perfect Florida island, is married to a perky blond wife, and who has never really left the island he lives on. He's also the star of a television show phenomenon, of which he is conspicuously not aware.  And Truman has no clue that any of this is fake.
But every now and then, something will happen that hints at some kind of conspiracy against him. In one of the film's earliest scenes, Truman leaves his house, and a tiny sattelite falls from the sky and lands on the street outside his house. A scene later, the radio reports that this was something that went wrong with a satellite in space. Sometime later, Truman sees a bum who looks just like his father, who drowned in a boating accident, but before he can positively identify him, people come out of nowhere, drag him onto a bus, and leave him behind. The morning's paper says that the city is cutting back on the bums allowed to stay in town.
"The Truman Show" is being billed as Jim Carrey's attempt at drama, after being heralded by the American Public as a star-studded comic actor, in such flicks as "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective," "Dumb and Dumber," and "Liar Liar," but this kind of thinking is only for people who push actors who do comedy into a corner with all the others, like Robin Williams and Billy Crystal, and say "You can do drama, but when you do it, you're doing it as a crossover." Little do most of these people realize, these guys started off as regular actors, doing dramas and comedies and everything else, but found they could make a living starting out in comedy. Would Robin Williams become a star as quick as he did if he just did Off-Off-Off-Off-Broadway dramas? Because of this typical fallacy, people will be thinking of this as "The Film Where Carrey Does Drama," which will make people shudder and stay away, and others going just to see if he can pull it off.
This is sad because "The Truman Show" is an incredible film. Whether viewed as a drama, a comedy, a kafkaesque nightmare, a satirical take on American media, or even a highly unsubtle Christ story, "The Truman Show" works, and its star, Jim Carrey, creates one of the most human characters to inhibit a film in a while, even if he's been living in a giant, man-made globe his entire life, and has no idea what lies out there.
The key to this film is an incredibly complex yet simple script by Andrew Niccol, who just wrote and directed one of '97's most intelligent films, "Gattaca." That film was one that was filled with lots of great ideas which worked well together, and it even showed us the powerful emotions of one man who is struggling to overcome the odds of society. "The Truman Show" works on the same kinds of levels. But Truman, the star of the universally broadcasted show which airs for 24 hours every day, is a man who doesn't know that he is limited in what he wants to do.
In the first scenes, we see Truman doing his daily routine of giving himself a pep talk in the morning, greeting the neighbors with his catchphrase ("Good Morning; and if I don't see you later, Good Afternoon, Good Evening, and Good Night!"), driving to work as he listens to a relaxing piece by Mozart, buying a paper, and working hard at his job. He has a big giant smile, which is something Carrey fans will not be shocked to see. But we also see him in quiet reflexion later on, and even doing something secretive that we discover about later on. He puts on a facade just like the rest of us, and when he's not around anyone, is as depressed as the lot of us.
That's why when he really discovers that his whole life is a sham, it's so devastating. It occurs all of a sudden, but it's something that he's been hinted at his whole life. We see flashbacks he has (shown on his "Greatest Hits" tapes, which are sold throughout the world), including one where he fell for a woman (Natascha McElhone) who was not the actress who was supposed to be playing the girl he eventually marries (Laura Linney, taking a break from the strong female roles to play a perky wife), who tries to tell him that his life is a TV show, but fails. Instead, she becomes one of the near misses in his life, a woman he pines for.
As the film goes on from here, Truman tries to escape from his life, and we begin to meet the men behind the show, who desperately try to cover up, using anything they have up their sleeves. The entire show was created by a creepy looking man named Christof (no, there's no subtlety here), played by Ed Harris, who at times touches the image he has created which is blown up on a giant TV set on the wall of the observational hut which controls the show, sometimes creating music to go along with the events unfolding (one of them is actually Philip Glass!). We see him completely obsessed with his creation, and trying to control it as much as he can, but having to sometimes deal with TV executives (one played by Paul Thomas Anderson regular, Philip Baker Hall), and having a crisis when Truman begins discovering the truth (also, look for one of the control men played by Paul Giamatti, who played Pig Vomit in Howard Stern's "Private Parts," and basically stole the film from him).
People may say that all this doesn't sound like a "drama"...well, it ain't. It has a serious point, and has some very dramatic moments, but it's really a very mature comedy. The film is hilarious, especially in scenes where we see self-reflexivity in the actual going-ons in the Truman world. For instance, the film is run by product placement, and several times in the film, a character will pick up a product, the camera will zoom in on them, and they will talk about how great it is. Weirdly enough, this gimmick actually gets funnier as it goes on, since the show's veil of reality gradually weakens as the film moves on.
The film is not only funny, but incredibly moving. "Gattaca" was actually criticized for its lack of human emotion (not by me), but people will be blown away by how much humanity Niccol puts into his script for "The Truman Show." We understand the pain Truman lives in because underneath everything, he's really a human being, and he has to deal with the same kind of problems we deal with, even if it is in a much restricted space. Truman is not some really weird guy who looks like that guy from "The Mask." Instead, he's just an average guy who just happens to be the star of a TV show which he doesn't know about.  We experience life as it comes to us, not through anyone else. I've often had the fear that everyone I know was placed before me on purpose, that there's some designated course I'm supposed to follow, and I'm sure that there are other people who have had this fear. Kafka had a similar fear. Of course, I'm not Kafka and neither are you.
This film deals with that idea, but it also has a bitingly saitirical edge, that all of this works great as a form of media for the masses. With shows like "Cops" and "The Real World" being so popular nowadays, it's not long before something as crazy as this occurs. We've seen horrific things about life shown on "Cops" and those stupid Fox specials ("The World's Greatest Police Chases Part Nineteen!"), and we've seen people who actually WANT to be filmed for the entire world to see in half-hour doses on "The Real World;" it's only time before people say they want a real-life "Truman Show."
This is because humanity's the most fascinating thing in the world. We, as humans, love to view other people doing things. We don't know why, but we do. Voyeurism has been dealt with in movies, most notably in "Rear Window," but "The Truman Show" takes it to a whole other extreme.  There's a man shown in a tub who lives his entire life along with Truman, sleeping along with him, and hanging on to the curtain when something dire happens to him. There's a group of Asian people who try to learn English by watching Truman talk to people. And there's even a bar where "The Truman Show" is on all the time, and they even have a counter which shows how many days the show has been on the air.
While this sounds like a horrible thing to do to a human being, the film accurately, and deftly shows both sides of the issue. In one scene, we see Christof arguing with someone over it, and later on, pointing out all the great things about the world he's created. There's pain in the world he's created, but the world has been tailor-made to suit you, while reality is everyone for themselves. It's an interesting point, but the other side just has better ones.
I mentioned it was also an "unsubtle Christ story." I was getting there, but I'm afraid it needs little explanation. Christof is God, and Truman is Christ, the martyr for the entire world to feel better by watching him live his life in a sealed-off world. For those who doubted, even when we discover that the guy who created the world is named Christof, there's a memorable scene where Truman walks on the water, or at least seems to.
The brilliance of this film is how it brings all of these ideas together, instead of seperating them apart and saying "it can be this, and it can be this, and it can also be this." This works with other films, but it woudn't work with "The Truman Show." While this may seem to cerebral, it's nevertheless engrossing, and it manages to not shoot over the audience's head, but also not shoot below.
Oh, and it stars Jim Carrey, who has been a bit of a guilty pleasure for me, much in the same way Jerry Lewis is. But here, he emerges as a real actor, someone who can play a real character, and who can still put his personal touches on the performance. Yes, Carrey is funny, and there are times when he does some of his usual schtick. But what he doesn't do is overact, or underact. And he doesn't look uncomfortable, straining to keep his hyperkineticity inside. I used to kinda like him, but now I respect him because I've seen him act like a person. If he keeps this up, he may become the predecessor to Robin Williams instead of Jerry Lewis. But really, who cares if the film starts Jim Carrrey not acting incredibly hyper? What you want to watch for is the film itself. And if you're really going to talk about Carrey, talk about how his performance fits in with the rest of the film instead of standing apart from it.

This diagram shows the states that we go through on a normal cycle, represented by the circle on the left. It usually starts with a desire but it meets resistors, things that come against the desire. They might be physical or financial limitations or it could simply be your spouse, who in your opinion, is not cooperating. This leads to conflict with usually predictable results. When we work from our desires and our flesh we often do and say things that we regret later. When we realize that we've stepped outside of God's boundaries we feel guilty. This causes us to blame others in order to feel better about ourselves but this is a fallacy. It really doesn't make us feel better at all. At this point we have a decision: we can continue on the normal cycle of judgment or be courageous and take the noble path.
If we follow the normal cycle, we feel ashamed for our actions, our guilt, and our blaming. We enter into condemnation where the autofocus="" We get apathetic: "Things will never change.", "I'm not good enough", "I don't deserve better", "Why bother?" and sit helplessly focused our on own discomfort and shortcomings. This leads to regret, where we mull over our actions and choices and what we could have done differently. We then fear that things won't change, that we'll be trapped, and that there is no way out. This then leads to a desire to change things again, starting the cycle over.
The noble path requires courage to recognize reality: what the facts are, what your desires are, and whether they are Godly. It requires us to receive reproof for those things that we are responsible for, to repent for them, and reveal vulnerablywhat we really need and what our fears and weakness are. This means that we need to surrender our outcome (the desire) and trust God to deliver. Taking this path consistently with your spouse will show that you have willingness to understand and change where appropriate, a deep intimate understanding of your spouse, leading to greater love, peace in your household, and joy in each other and God.
That is the Noble Path.
