KDE Plasma 5 is a collection of packages based on top of KDE Frameworks 5 and QML. They implement the KDE Display Environment (Plasma 5).
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-8.2 platform.
The instructions below build all of the Plasma 5 packages in one step by using a bash script.

User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/kf5
The easiest way to get the KDE Plasma5 packages is to use a single wget to fetch them all at once:
url=http://download.kde.org/stable/plasma/5.12.1/
wget -r -nH -nd -A '*.xz' -np $url
The options used here are:
-r recurse through child directories
-nH disable generation of host-prefixed directories
-nd do not create a hierarchy of directories
-A '*.xz' just get the *.xz files
-np don't get parent directories
The order of building files is important due to internal dependencies. Create the list of files in the proper order as follows:

The breeze-grub, breeze-plymouth, and plymouth-kcm packages above are all for customized support of Plymouth which is designed to be run within an initial ram disk during boot (see the section called “About initramfs”). The plasma-sdk package is optional and used for software development.
When installing multiple packages in a script, the installation needs to be done as the root user. There are three general options that can be used to do this:
Run the entire script as the root user (not recommended).
Use the sudo command from the Sudo-1.8.22 package.
Use su -c "command arguments" (quotes required) which will ask for the root password for every iteration of the loop.
One way to handle this situation is to create a short bash function that automatically selects the appropriate method. Once the command is set in the environment, it does not need to be set again.
as_root() { if [ $EUID = 0 ]; then $* elif [ -x /usr/bin/sudo ]; then sudo $* else su -c \\"$*\\" fi } export -f as_root
First, start a subshell that will exit on error:
bash -e
Install all of the packages by running the following commands:
while read -r line; do # Get the file name, ignoring comments and blank lines if $(echo $line | grep -E -q '^ *$|^#' ); then continue; fi file=$(echo $line | cut -d" " -f2) pkg=$(echo $file|sed 's|^.*/||') # Remove directory packagedir=$(echo $pkg|sed 's|\.tar.*||') # Package directory tar -xf $file pushd $packagedir mkdir build cd build cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KF5_PREFIX \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF \ -Wno-dev .. && make as_root make install popd as_root rm -rf $packagedir as_root /sbin/ldconfig done < plasma-5.12.1.md5 exit cd $KF5_PREFIX/share/plasma/plasmoids for j in $(find -name \*.js); do as_root ln -sfv ../code/$(basename $j) $(dirname $j)/../ui/ done
ln -sfv ../code/$(basename $j) $(dirname $j)/../ui/: Create symbolic links so qml files can find needed javascript modules.
If you built Plasma with the recommended Linux PAM support, create necessary
configuration files by running the following commands as the
root
user:
cat >> /etc/pam.d/kde << "EOF" # Begin /etc/pam.d/kde auth requisite pam_nologin.so auth required pam_env.so auth required pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 1000 quiet auth include system-auth account include system-account password include system-password session include system-session # End /etc/pam.d/kde EOF cat > /etc/pam.d/kde-np << "EOF" # Begin /etc/pam.d/kde-np auth requisite pam_nologin.so auth required pam_env.so auth required pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 1000 quiet auth required pam_permit.so account include system-account password include system-password session include system-session # End /etc/pam.d/kde-np EOF cat > /etc/pam.d/kscreensaver << "EOF" # Begin /etc/pam.d/kscreensaver auth include system-auth account include system-account # End /etc/pam.d/kscreensaver EOF
You can start Plasma5 from a TTY, using xinit-1.3.4.
To start Plasma 5 using xinit-1.3.4, run the following commands:
cat > ~/.xinitrc << "EOF"
dbus-launch --exit-with-session $KF5_PREFIX/bin/startkde
EOF
startx
The X session starts on the first unused virtual terminal, normally vt7. You can switch to another vtn simultaneously pressing the keys Ctrl-Alt-Fn (n=1, 2, ...). To switch back to the X session, normally started at vt7, use Ctrl-Alt-F7. The vt where the command startx was executed will display many messages, including X starting messages, applications automatically started with the session, and eventually, some warning and error messages. You may prefer to redirect those messages to a log file, which not only will keep the initial vt uncluttered, but can also be used for debugging purposes. This can be done starting X with:
startx &> ~/x-session-errors
When shutting down or rebooting, the shutdown messages appear on the vt where X was running. If you wish to see those messages, simultaneously press keys Alt-F7 (assuming that X was running on vt7).
If you intend to start Plasma
using a display manager such as lightdm-1.24.0,
there will be two entries for Plasma, one for use with Xorg, and another for Wayland. Modify the Xorg entry with the following command, as the
root
user, so that you can
differentiate between the two:
sed '/^Name=/s/Plasma/Plasma on Xorg/' -i /usr/share/xsessions/plasma.desktop

‘Mnangagwa a threat to national security’ says Jonathan Moyo
by Staff ReporterProfessor Jonathan Moyo has insinuated that President Emmerson Mnangagwa could be a threat to national security through his deliberate policy of promoting people from his own tribe.
Said Moyo, “If a president can find and appoint loyal security cadres only from his or her clan, tribe or region & sees security cadres from other clans, tribes and regions as disloyal by definition; then that president is illegitimate and a gravely dangerous threat to national security!”
Moyo had earlier on commented on the recent removal of Aaron Nhepera from the Intelligence, calling it a clanisation of the intelligence service.
“Mnangagwa has completed the clanisation of national intelligence by shunting out Aaron Nhepera from the CIO, where he was deputy director general to Isaac Moyo, who is the director general with Owen Mudha Ncube as minister. National intelligence is now clan intelligence!”
Nhepera was moved to be the Permanent secretary in the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Since his ascendency to power Mnangagwa promoted people from Midlands and from karanga ethnicity.
In the previous government President Robert Mugabe was accused of favoring the Zezuru tribe.

I made this and followed the recipe closely. I take offence at the title, it's not a "shortcut". I'll make this again but I would definitely make some changes.
Next time:
I'm not into "deconstructed" recipes but you could separate this easily into a potato side with the meat/eggplant/sliced potato/onion mix.

AQI
The AQI is an index for reporting daily air quality. It tells you how clean or polluted your air is, and what associated health effects might be a concern for you. The higher the AQI value, the greater the level of air pollution and the greater the health concern.
Learn MorePM2.5
The number in the middle refers to the concentration of PM2.5. It's atmospheric particulate matter (PM) that have a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers, which is about 3% the diameter of a human hair. Fine particles can come from various sources, including power plants, transportation, wood burning etc. They may cause health problems like decreased lung function, increased respiratory symptoms, heart attacks etc.
Learn MoreHumidity
Humidity is the concentration of water vapour present in the air. Water vapour, the gaseous state of water, is generally invisible to the human eye. Humidity indicates the likelihood for precipitation, dew, or fog to be present. Higher humidity can increase the levels of noxious chemicals in the air, which may include ozone and formaldehyde.
Learn MoreIn fact, Pittsburgh used to have such bad air in the 20th century that it was
known as the “Smoky City” or “Hell With the Lid Off” due to the overwhelmingly foul
conditions that plagued it for over a century.
Its geographic location and
natural resource endowments made it an ideal home for the industries that inevitably created
the pollution problem. The city’s dark past has been described as a cautionary tale for
cities lacking environmental control.
Pittsburgh is still consistently ranked in the top cities for air pollution by the American Lung Association in their State of the Air reports.
In 2016, the region landed as the 8th worst in the country for year-round measures on fine particle pollution (or soot), and the 14th worst for short-term particle pollution (the number of days with unhealthy particle levels when air quality is especially dangerous).

We have lost a great leader – Ramaphosa on King Sigcawu
President Cyril Ramaphosa has bid farewell to King Mpendulo Zwelonke Sigcawu during his funeral on Friday at the Nqadu Royal Palace near Willowvale in the Eastern Cape.
by News24 WirePresident Cyril Ramaphosa joins the funeral procession as the cortege departs for the burial site during the Special Official Funeral service of His Majesty the late King Zwelonke Mpendulo Sigcawu. Picture: Presidency
The 51-year-old king died last Thursday morning at the Nelson Mandela Academic Hospital in Mthatha.
Ramaphosa told mourners that it was with a heavy heart that “we gather here today”.
“We have lost a great leader. His Majesty’s passing is indeed a reminder of the shortness of our life on this earth,” he said.
Ramaphosa said the king’s passing was a reminder to everyone to spend their time on earth wisely in performing good deeds and in being of service to others.
“We are saddened, but we know that no matter how much we wish to, we cannot hold back the hand of fate.”
Ramaphosa said the country had lost a king whose impact and influence extended beyond borders.
“The tributes that have poured in from Botswana, eSwatini, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Palestine, Venezuela and many other countries are proof of how he was not only recognised, but revered by others beyond our country.”
“We are immensely comforted by the condolences and messages of support. Such gestures of solidarity go a long way in affirming our oneness as Africans.”
The president said that during the king’s 50th birthday celebrations last year, he had been upfront about his disdain for flamboyance.
He believed that traditional leaders were servants of the people and should lead by example.
“His Majesty was concerned about poverty among his people and promoted the establishment of cooperatives to reduce dependence on social grants.
“This country needs more leaders like him, leaders who care about the welfare of the people first and foremost.”
Ramaphosa said the king was also vocal about drug and alcohol abuse, and had advocated passionately for youth development.
“His Majesty believed firmly that women’s rights should be upheld.
“During this period of 16 days of activism against gender-based violence, we would like that the word and message should be spread that women and children should be respected.”

Used for communication between the Arduino board and a computer or other devices. All Arduino boards have at least one serial port (also known as a UART or USART): Serial. It communicates on digital pins 0 (RX) and 1 (TX) as well as with the computer via USB. Thus, if you use these functions, you cannot also use pins 0 and 1 for digital input or output. You can use the Arduino environment's built-in serial monitor to communicate with an Arduino board. Click the serial monitor button in the toolbar and select the same baud rate used in the call to begin(). The Arduino Mega has three additional serial ports: Serial1 on pins 19 (RX) and 18 (TX), Serial2 on pins 17 (RX) and 16 (TX), Serial3 on pins 15 (RX) and 14 (TX). To use these pins to communicate with your personal computer, you will need an additional USB-to-serial adaptor, as they are not connected to the Mega's USB-to-serial adaptor. To use them to communicate with an external TTL serial device, connect the TX pin to your device's RX pin, the RX to your device's TX pin, and the ground of your Mega to your device's ground. (Don't connect these pins directly to an RS232 serial port; they operate at +/- 12V and can damage your Arduino board.) The Arduino Leonardo board uses Serial1 to communicate via RS232 on pins 0 (RX) and 1 (TX). Serial is reserved for USB CDC communication. For more information, refer to the Leonardo getting started page and hardware page. |

How to use the Feathers TextInput
component
The TextInput
class supports the editing of text. It displays a background skin and uses a text editor to allow the user to modify the text.
The Basics
First, let's create a TextInput
control and add it to the display list:
var input:TextInput = new TextInput();
this.addChild( input );
Changing text programmatically
Text may be changed programatically by setting the text
property:
input.text = "Hello World";
Prompt
A prompt or hint may be displayed to describe the purpose of the text input when the text input does not contain any text.
input.prompt = "Password";
Simply set the prompt
property to any String
to display it inside the text input.
Focus and Selection
You may programmatically set focus to the text input by calling setFocus()
:
input.setFocus();
You can select part of the text too:
input.selectRange(0, input.text.length);
If you simply want to set the position of the cursor, you can omit the second argument to selectRange()
:
input.selectRange(0);
Events
Text inputs provide a number of useful events. One of the most common requirements is knowing, in real time, when the value of the text
property has changed:
input.addEventListener( Event.CHANGE, input_changeHandler );
We can listen for Event.CHANGE
.
We might also want to know when the user presses Keyboard.ENTER
:
input.addEventListener( FeathersEventType.ENTER, input_enterHandler );
Simply listen for FeathersEventType.ENTER
.
Finally, you might also want to know when the text input receives and loses focus:
input.addEventListener( FeathersEventType.FOCUS_IN, input_focusInHandler );
input.addEventListener( FeathersEventType.FOCUS_OUT, input_focusOutHandler );
The FeathersEventType.FOCUS_IN
and FeathersEventType.FOCUS_OUT
events are specially dispatched by the TextInput
, even if the focus manager is not enabled.
Customize input behavior
The displayAsPassword
property may be enabled to mask a text input's text:
input.displayAsPassword = true;
Set the isEditable
property to false to make the text uneditable, without giving the text input a disabled appearance:
input.isEditable = false;
To limit the number of characters that may be entered, use the maxChars
property:
input.maxChars = 16;
The restrict
property limits the set of characters that can be entered into the text input. It works like the restrict
property on flash.text.TextField
.
input.restrict = "0-9";
In the example above, we restrict to numeric values only.
Skinning a TextInput
A text input provides a number of properties to customize its appearance. For full details about what skin and style properties are available, see the TextInput
API reference. We'll look at a few of the most common ways of styling a text input below.
Font Styles
The text input's font styles may be customized using the fontStyles
property.
input.fontStyles = new TextFormat( "Helvetica", 20, 0x3c3c3c );
Pass in a starling.text.TextFormat
object, which will work with any type of text editor.
If the input should use different font styles when it is disabled, you may set the disabledFontStyles
property too:
input.disabledFontStyles = new TextFormat( "Helvetica", 20, 0x9a9a9a );
Finally, we can even customize the font styles for each of the input's specific states:
input.setFontStylesForState( TextInputState.ERROR,
new TextFormat( "Helvetica", 20, 0xcc0000 ) );
Using the code above, the color of the input's text will change when the input displays an errorString
, and the state changes to TextInputState.ERROR
.
When font styles aren't available for a specific state, the input will use the default fontStyles
as a fallback. For example, we haven't provided font styles for TextInputState.FOCUSED
, so the default styles will be used.
The font styles of the prompt text renderer may be customized separately:
input.promptFontStyles = new TextFormat( "Helvetica", 20, 0x3c3c3c );
input.promptDisabledFontStyles = new TextFormat( "Helvetica", 20, 0x9a9a9a );
input.setPromptFontStylesForState( TextInputState.ERROR,
new TextFormat( "Helvetica", 20, 0xcc0000 ) );
See the promptFontStyles
and promptDisabledFontStyles
properties, and the setPromptFontStylesForState()
function for details.
Background Skin
Let's give our text input its background skin. In the following example, we'll use an ImageSkin
, but the skin may be any Starling display object:
var skin:ImageSkin = new ImageSkin( upTexture );
skin.scale9Grid = new Rectangle( 2, 3, 3, 8 );
input.backgroundSkin = skin;
We can change the appearance of the text input's skin when the state changes. In the next example, we provide another texture to the same ImageSkin
for the text input's "focused" state:
skin.setTextureForState( TextInputState.FOCUSED, focusedTexture );
The ImageSkin
automatically listens for changes to the text input's state and updates its appearance to match. When the text input is given focus, the ImageSkin
will display this texture instead of the default one.
We can also provide different display objects for specific states, if needed. In the next example, we have a texture for the "disabled" state that requires a different scale9Grid
than the other textures. We can create a separate ImageSkin
for this state:
var disabledSkin:ImageSkin = new ImageSkin( disabledTexture );
input.scale9Grid = new Rectangle( 4, 2, 2, 10 );
input.setSkinForState( TextInputState.DISABLED, disabledSkin );
Pass in skins for any state using the setSkinForState()
function.
If a skin is not provided for a specific state, the text area will display its backgroundSkin
. Similarly, when using an ImageSkin
, and a texture isn't provided for a specific state, it will display its default texture.
Icon
Let's also add an icon to the TextInput
. Icons may be customized for each of the text input's states (just like the background skin), but let's simply use one icon. In this example, we'll pass in a starling.display.Image
:
input.defaultIcon = new Image( iconTexture );
This icon will be displayed for all of the text input's different states.
If we wanted to change the appearance of the icon when the text input's state changes, we could use a feathers.skins.ImageSkin
with multiple textures, like we did in the example above that demonstrated how to set the text input's background skin. Similarly, we could use setIconForState()
to pass in different display objects for each state.
Layout
Padding may be added on each side of the text input:
input.paddingTop = 5;
input.paddingRight = 8;
input.paddingBottom = 5;
input.paddingLeft = 8;
If all four padding values should be the same, you may use the padding
property to quickly set them all at once:
input.padding = 6;
The typicalText
property may be used to help the text input calculate its dimensions based on the dimensions of a specific rendered string:
input.typicalText = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog";
By default, the text input does not use its text for measurement. Instead, it uses the background skin, padding, and other layout properties. typicalText
is useful when there is a width or height that must be based on the font styles. For instance, the NumericStepper
component uses this property to provide the text input with a string that represents the largest possible string it might display.


Input devices
.
The weekly assignment focuses on fabrication of a Fab Kit and an input sensor and, firts of all, understand how a microcontroller board and a sensor wors and how read and interpret the data.
FABKIT FABRICATION. The first part of the weekly assignment is the design of a FabKit (based on this tutorial) and an input device. FabKit, who has been designed for first, has a lot of components, described in the BOM, so I need half an hour to collect them all using the method described by the previous picture.Components: - ATmega 328P-AU
- 1 Resistors 10K
- 2 Resistors 499
- Yellow Led 1206 SMD
- Switch Button
- 2 Capacitors 0.1 UF
- 1 Capacitors 1 UF
- 1 Capacitors 10 UF
- Header 6 Pin
- Resonator 8MHZ
Apart from the components, I drilled the FabKit board using the Roland SRM-20 machine. The PNG files have been downloaded from the assignment page. Three different tasks have been performed: traces (1/64), drill and cut (1/32). As usual, Fab Modules have been used for this task.
The most complex component is surely the ATMEGA328, that is very small and very difficult to solder. The datasheet could be find at the ATMEL page.
As it can be seen, FabKit is really very very small !!!!
After this, I start studying the ATMEGA328 pinout, it has been quite complex, but at the end, in order to write the BOOTLOADER, I understand I need the following pins: MISO,MOSI, SCK, RESET, VCC and GND. I've trained using Eagle software and tracking all the routes from the processor to the headers, in order to understand how connect the input device to the mentioned processor and components.
Again a good help for finding the correct usage of the FabKit has been Eagle, who ENLIGHT EVERY TRACE from the beginning to the end. I take note of the pins I’m going to use for the project.
I decide to use an USB programmer, so I powered the FabKit using the FTDI cable. Then I’ve built a cable used to connect the programmer to the FabKit, because there's not a direct existent connection at the Lab.
During the above mentioned connection, Windows required lots of drivers in order to make usable even the FTDI cable!!!
BURNING THE BOOTLOADER. So, once connected the FabKit to the FabKit, using the Arduino IDE, I've changed the boards list in the Arduino folder and the operation went good at first time! Remember to choose on Tools > Board > Arduino Pro or Pro mini (3.3V, 8). I’m very proud of my FabKit.
THE INPUT DEVICE. Despite of my final project it’s a fish, I’ve used a light sensor, considering that sun light is RELATED TO THE DEPTH of the water at which the fish is swimming. The deeper you go, the darker it is.
As weel as a submarine, if the depth is excessive and the pressure is too high, several damages can occur to the hull. So the purpose of the input device is to send a constant signal to the processor in order to measure indirectly the depth of water.
The sensor, what it does, what I learned. I've chosen a photoresistor CDS – LDR GL5537-1. Detailed information about the sensor could be find i.e. at this page. The other components:
- Resistors 10K - Header 3 Pin. Some details of the mentioned document have been reported in the following figures.
 I didn’t have the time to go back to the FabLab, so, just because it was an emergency I place one of the header connector in an unused part of the traces (green arrow) and I’ve also used a classic resistor . It works ! Using the SERIAL MONITOR command of the Arduino IDE, FabKit receives a signal from A0 pin. For a better understanding of the functionality please refer also to the detailed description (and video) available at the Final Project page.

Rats in Estonia cut e-governance services
by BNNIn Estonia, which sees itself as the world’s first digital nation, has experienced an interruption of state e-services, caused, apparently, by rats in Harju County around Tallinn.
Estonian public broadcaster ERR reports on Thursday, November 21, that the interruption came in the afternoon on Wednesday, November 20.
The damage meant the state portal Eesti.ee, services provided by the health insurance fund (EHIF) including issuing digital prescriptions, and several other e-services provided by the Estonian State Information System Agency (RIA) were not working.
Head of the Estonian State Network Department Kaido Plovits commented that the network was not fully protected from such incidents. «We apologize for any inconvenience and will work hard to fully restore the services soon,» Plovits stated on November 20.
Most e-services were restored by Wednesday evening, ERR reports.


--- layout: post title: Text enforcer hands out heavy fine date: 2006-06-27 00:00:00 categories: interfaces-&-interaction mobile software-development ---
Text enforcer hands out heavy fine: "One of the chief complaints was that one consumer had sent the text 'Stop sending me this message’. The rules are that the Stop command should be interpreted as an indication that the recipient doesn't want to pay for anything else.
Summit's response was their software had seen the word ‘messages’ and interpreted the letter ‘a’ in that word as attempt to answer a multiple choice question where ‘a’ happened to be the correct answer. Yeah, right."
Interesting, and serves as a reminder that people see text messaging as a conversational medium. Whilst the logo and ringtone industry - and TV voting - might have done a fair job in training folks to use properly keywords to talk to SMS services, there's still a need to handle, or at least attempt to account for, the vagaries of everyday conversation if you're building these services.

Topics
Actions defined by AWS Backup
You can specify the following actions in the
Action
element of an IAM policy statement. Use policies to grant permissions to perform an operation in AWS. When you use an action in a policy, you usually allow or deny access to the API operation or CLI command with the same name. However, in some cases, a single action controls access to more than one operation. Alternatively, some operations require several different actions.
The
Resource types
column of the Actions table indicates whether each action supports resource-level permissions. If there is no value for this column, you must specify all resources ("*") to which the policy applies in the
Resource
element of your policy statement. If the column includes a resource type, then you can specify an ARN of that type in a statement with that action. If the action has one or more required resources, the caller must have permission to use the action with those resources. Required resources are indicated in the table with an asterisk (*). If you limit resource access with the
Resource
element in an IAM policy, you must include an ARN or pattern for each required resource type. Some actions support multiple resource types. If the resource type is optional (not indicated as required), then you can choose to use one of the optional resource types.
The
Condition keys
column of the Actions table includes keys that you can specify in a policy statement's
Condition
element. For more information on the condition keys that are associated with resources for the service, see the
Condition keys
column of the Resource types table.

Many aspects of the observed mean state of the atmosphere during the recent 2012–2016 California drought are qualitatively consistent with our simulated response to Arctic sea-ice changes. ERA-Interim estimates of the precipitation, geopotential, and OLR anomalies between 2012 and 2015 (relative to the period 1979–2010) are shown in Supplementary Fig. 7. Similar to our simulations, ERA-Interim exhibits a geopotential ridge in the North Pacific and a precipitation decrease over California (Supplementary Fig. 7a, b). In the tropics, precipitation decreases across the central and eastern tropical Pacific and increases northward of this region and in the west tropical Pacific (Supplementary Fig. 7a). Another commonality is the behavior of OLR changes across the central tropical Pacific and over California (see Supplementary Fig. 7c). The magnitudes of the observed 3-year mean anomalies during the recent California drought (Supplementary Fig. 7a) are much larger than the magnitudes of the 20-year mean response to sea-ice changes shown in Fig. 2a. This is expected given that the longer 20-year period contains both dry and wet years. As seen from Supplementary Fig. 8a, low Arctic sea-ice increases the likelihood of drier California, but does not result in drier conditions over California every single year. On average, when considering the 20-year mean, there is a 10–15% decrease in California’s rainfall (Fig. 2c). Comparison with the driest 3-year interval within this 20-year period (Supplementary Fig. 8b) indicates that the magnitude of the simulated precipitation response is comparable to the magnitude of changes in ERA-Interim during the most recent drought.
This consistency does not, however, constitute compelling evidence that the 2012–2016 California drought is attributable to Arctic sea-ice changes. Rather, it illustrates that some of the atmospheric features of the droughts driven by Arctic sea-ice loss may resemble those of the most recent California drought. The intensification of dry conditions over California since late 2012 may have also been affected by several other factors not discussed in this study, such as the appearance of a large warm SST anomaly off the west coast of North America—though this appears to be a consequence rather than a cause of the altered atmospheric circulations causing the drought 41. Another important factor may be the 2014 phase shift of the Pacific Decadal Oscillation from negative to positive. However, this shift would be expected to alleviate drought conditions over California—not intensify them 42. Finally, we note that other hemispherically asymmetric forcings may also trigger—via the same physical pathways described here—tropical convection changes and teleconnections affecting California’s precipitation. Possible examples include asymmetric forcing by anthropogenic aerosols, volcanic eruptions, and solar irradiance variations. All of these forcings can alter the inter-hemispheric temperature gradient 43, thereby causing shifts in the location of tropical convection and initiating “far-field” precipitation changes over California.
It is of interest to consider whether paleoclimatic evidence provides support for our model-inferred two-step teleconnection (Fig. 4). We focus on past periods with pronounced excursions in Arctic temperatures and sea-ice cover. The first part of the two-step teleconnection is well documented in both paleoclimate simulations and paleoclimate records of the last glacial period 44. Abrupt high-latitude temperature increase during the last interglacial (the Dansgaard–Oeschger and Bølling–Allerød warmings) are manifest in the tropics through a northward shift in the position of the ITCZ 45– 47. Conversely, the signature of cold stadials and Younger Dryas cooling in the Arctic is matched by a southward shift of tropical precipitation across all ocean basins 45– 48. These ITCZ shifts are consistent with precipitation changes inferred from high-resolution, precisely dated speleothem records: speleothems across the southwestern United States indicate shifts to drier conditions during the Dansgaard–Oeschger warmings 49, 50, the Bølling–Allerød warming, and the termination of the Younger Dryas cooling 51. Similarly, during the Heinrich 1 and Younger Dryas cold periods, wetter conditions are indicated by lake-level high stands in the Great Basin and glaciation in central and southern California 52, 53, while at least one modeling study has implicated North Atlantic cooling and a corresponding southward ITCZ shift as a possible cause of increased precipitation over the western United States 54.
The timing, magnitude, and drivers of sea-ice changes during the last millennium are less well understood 55. In addition, volcanic activity may have also had an impact on tropical precipitation during this time 56. However, proxy data for the last millennium does yield information regarding the second teleconnection step—the link between the ITCZ location and southwestern rainfall. The southward shift of the ITCZ in the transition from the medieval climate anomaly (MCA) to the little ice age (LIA) is well documented 57, 58. The effect of this shift is apparent in the contrast between the dry MCA and the wet LIA in the western US lake levels 59, from trees growing on lake beds exposed by low lake levels 60, 61, and in pollen records 62. Interestingly, a brief southward shift in the ITCZ position between ~AD 1050 and 1250 57 is clearly recorded in the American southwest as a wet interval in the midst of the dry MCA. Great Basin lakes expanded briefly during this period 63, 64, concurrent with drowning of trees growing below modern water levels 60, 61 and increased soil moisture in southern California (as inferred from pollen records) 62. Such periods during the MCA and LIA provide some support for the second teleconnection step. In the absence of more reliable sea-ice data sets, however, we cannot confirm if such covariance relationships between the ITCZ location and southwestern rainfall are directly attributable to sea-ice changes, or could instead be due to other factors (e.g., volcanic forcing or solar irradiance changes).
Finally, we address the suitability of our experimental configuration (an AGCM coupled to a slab ocean) for studying the fast atmosphere–surface ocean-mediated response to sea-ice changes. In our simulations, key response features are manifest within the first two decades (see Supplementary Fig. 9). While our current study does not examine how this initial atmosphere–surface ocean response may be altered on longer timescales by the deep ocean, we note that the fast response identified here is in agreement with previous AOGCM-based studies 15, 29, 30. Additional analysis of the short-term (first 50 years) response of an AOGCM response to sea-ice changes in a complementary, energy-conserving setup confirms our AGCM/slab ocean findings (see Supplementary Discussions and Supplementary Fig. 10). The decadal-scale AOGCM response indicates tropical convection changes and drying over California in response to the loss of Arctic sea-ice cover, a qualitatively similar result to that seen in the present study. Recent studies have investigated the impacts of Arctic sea-ice loss in a fully coupled AOGCM setup by imposing artificial high-latitude energy fluxes 24, 25. These studies have demonstrated the importance of ocean dynamics one century after imposing high-latitude longwave forcing. However, such investigations provide no evidence that ocean dynamics dominates the response to high-latitude longwave forcing on timescales considerably shorter than a century, nor do they indicate when the transition to an ocean-dominated response would occur. Understanding the differences between energy-conserving and non-energy-conserving setups, in particular how the presumed impacts of sea-ice changes in non-energy-conserving experimental setups 24, 25 may be affected by artificially imposed energy flux perturbations remains an important future step. A key result from our study is the identification of a link between high-latitude and tropical energy budget and convection changes that can further drive precipitation changes over California. This link highlights the importance of differentiating between: (i) the different timescales of the response; and (ii) studies that attempt to isolate the impacts of sea-ice changes by imposing large artificial energy perturbations in order to achieve the sea-ice loss 24, 25, and investigations that achieve sea-ice changes in an energy-conserving manner (ref. 30 and the current study).
Selection, implementation, and testing of sea-ice physics parameter changes from the latin hypercube simulation ensemble 20 has provided a novel energy-conserving framework for testing the climate impacts of sea-ice changes. Our results implicate both Arctic and Antarctic sea-ice loss as potential drivers of future precipitation changes over the American southwest. We show that substantial loss of high-latitude sea-ice cover is likely to have significant far-field effects, and can impact California’s precipitation through atmospheric teleconnections involving tropical convection changes.
The present day precipitation decreases over California and the associated circulation anomalies are not evident in coupled model projections of twenty-first century climate 65. Most current simulations disagree regarding the sign of the future precipitation changes over California 65. As a consequence, a multi-model mean features a large envelope of uncertainty, and suggests negligible precipitation decline in the first decade of the twenty-first century, followed by an increase in precipitation 8, 65 over the next decade. One possible cause of these inter-model discrepancies is that some climate models underestimate the magnitude of observed Arctic sea-ice loss over the satellite era 19 and the sign of recent Antarctic sea-ice changes 66, 67. Our analysis suggests that both of these factors—the reduced magnitude of Arctic sea-ice loss and the reversed sign of Antarctic sea-ice changes relative to the observations—contribute to the smaller than observed precipitation decline in model simulations of early twenty-first century climate change. Our results imply that as long as Arctic sea-ice cover continues to decrease, overall sea-ice forcing will favor drying over California. This assumes that Antarctic sea-ice continues to expand or remains stationary over the next several decades. As Antarctic sea-ice cover begins to decrease, the competing influences of Arctic and Antarctic sea-ice loss will weaken or even reverse the sign of the sea-ice driven component of California’s precipitation changes. We emphasize, however, that sea-ice loss is one of multiple factors implicated in driving the described atmospheric circulation and precipitation changes. In simulations of historical and future climate, multiple hemispherically asymmetric forcings are changing simultaneously. Some of these forcings affect sea-ice cover, thus hampering the elucidation of links between Arctic sea-ice loss and California’s rainfall. This is one advantage of the experimental configuration used here. By design, the convection, atmospheric circulation, and precipitation responses described here are directly related to sea-ice changes in each hemisphere, and not to changes in anthropogenic and natural forcings, or deep-ocean feedbacks.
We have confirmed that the short-term (decadal-scale) response to Arctic sea-ice loss described in our study is consistent with the response found in previous AOGCM studies that allow for ocean dynamics and deep-ocean changes. The long-term centennial climate response to sea-ice changes may, however, differ from the fast response described here. While investigations with other climate models are necessary to further confirm these findings, our results strongly suggest that what happens in the Arctic does not stay in the Arctic and provide a physically plausible pathway by which high-latitude sea-ice forcing may mediate tropical climate, and thereby influence California’s rainfall.
As a final remark, we note that the pronounced Arctic sea-ice loss over the satellite era is likely human-induced, arising from anthropogenic warming caused by greenhouse gas increases 68. Our study thus identifies yet another pathway by which human activities could affect the occurrence of future droughts over California—through human-induced Arctic sea-ice decline.

Cooking time
30 mins to 1 hour
Serves
Serves 8
This delectable homemade flatbread is topped with spiced minced lamb, hot chillies and zingy herbs.
Each serving provides 424kcal, 21g protein, 57g carbohydrate (of which 10g sugars), 12g fat (of which 5g saturates), 3g fibre and 0.8g salt.
For the dough, the day before you want to eat the flatbreads, mix the flours, salt and sugar in a large bowl.
In a jug, mix the yeast to a paste with a little of the water, then stir in the remaining water until the yeast has completely dissolved.
Make a well in the centre of the flour mixture and pour in the yeasted water, gradually bringing more and more of the flour into the wet mixture, until all of the flour has been incorporated and the mixture has come together as a soft dough.
Turn out the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead well until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into four equally sized pieces and roll each into a ball. Place the dough balls onto a lightly greased baking tray, cover with a loose sheet of cling film or a clean tea towel, and leave to prove in the fridge for 24 hours.
When the dough has proved (doubled in size), make the topping.
For the topping, heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the shallot, garlic and spices and fry for 1-2 minutes, or until softened.
Add the lamb mince and increase the heat to high. Fry for 4-5 minutes, breaking up the mince with a spoon and stirring frequently, until browned all over.
Add the sultanas and chicken stock to the pan and bring the mixture to the boil, then reduce the heat until the mixture is simmering and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the lamb is tender and the liquid has almost all evaporated. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool completely.
Preheat the oven to its highest setting. Place a heavy baking tray or pizza stone in the oven and allow to heat up.
Roll each piece of dough out onto a lightly floured work surface into an oval roughly 20x15cm/8x6in, and about 0.5cm/¼in thick.
Spread the lamb mixture onto the dough bases, then top with dollops of the yoghurt. Sprinkle over the chopped chillies and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Transfer the flatbreads, in batches if necessary, to the baking tray or pizza stone and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the bases are golden-brown and crisp. Remove from the ove and sprinkle over the herbs. Serve immediately.

--- layout: default title: About ---
I'm Sam Ritchie. I'm currently (as of August, 2014) living in Boulder and working on PaddleGuru. I've authored a number of prominent open source projects in Scala and Clojure. I'm currently a TechStars Mentor in the Boulder program!
I left the US Sprint Kayaking Team on 2009, moved to New York and worked for a year at the TED Conference, working the phones of the Partnerships team by day and picking up what I could of Objective-C at night. I fell in love with coding that year and built a number of iOS games for ThinkFun, a brainteaser puzzle company started by my parents about a year before I was born. Rush Hour is the most well-known and lucrative of these, though Solitaire Chess or Chocolate Fix seem to have more loyal tribes.
I moved out of New York and south to Philadelphia in the summer of 2010 to code full-time and be a bit closer to the Schuykill river and a few old friends from my kayaking days. One of these old friends, Dan Hammer, knew about my coding forays and asked me help out with a large coding project called FORMA, or FORest Monitoring for Action. Something to do with satellites and NASA data, he said. Dan and his partner Robin Kraft were trying to develop a system that could classify various "pixels" of forest in the world's tropical areas according to their risk of deforestation. They had written a prototype in Python, running a MapReduce-ish algorithm across a bunch of EC2 servers, but the systems issues had begun to bog the project down.
I came on and, to Dan's horror, decided that the only way to save the project from endless systems nightmares was to rewrite everything in Clojure. Which we did. None of us knew Clojure at the time, but from the reading I'd done, Clojure seemed like the surest bet for developing low-maintenance MapReduce applications like the one we needed for FORMA.
I picked up Cascalog to write the MapReduce portions of the FORMA workflow – timeseries generation, feature extraction, data warehousing and the like. My experience with Clojure and Cascalog turned me into an open source fanatic. During that period, some of the highlights I produced were a Hadoop cluster deploy tool, a number of submodules for Cascalog and what may be the most pleasurable Hadoop testing suite out there. Somehow along the way, I became Cascalog's maintainer. (FORMA is now open source as well!)
In the summer of 2011, my work on Cascalog earned me an interview at BackType, one of the sexier startups around (and one of the only west coast startups I'd really followed from afar, out in the Philadelphia tech desert). BackType released and maintained Cascalog and had a large open source presence in the Clojure community. At the time, unbeknownst to me, BackType was being acquisition-courted by Twitter.
BackType offered me a job out west, which I deferred for three months to train for the Texas Water Safari, a 262 mile canoe race that deserves its own post. I won the race, but lost the standing offer when BackType was acquired by Twitter. (Glory has its price.) Ten interviews later, I received an offer from Twitter to go work with the former BackType team, which I quickly accepted, not wanting to make the same mistake again.
I left work as a senior software engineern in Twitter's Analytics and Infrastructure group in November of 2013. I had the pleasure of working with some amazing folks and open-sourcing a tremendous amount of code. Much of that code is related to the Summingbird project, an open-source platform for writing streaming aggregations that can run in batch mode on Hadoop, realtime mode on Storm, or in a combined batch/realtime mode in both execution environments. See the Projects page for more information about the specific projects I'm working on right now.
I'm currently working on a startup called PaddleGuru, living in Boulder, Colorado and spending as much time as I can in the mountains.
