We got the rest of our things moved over from the home on Hunter to the new home on Freeman. Jim Frazer came over and helped me this morning. I built some shelving in the wash room and vented the clothes dryer to the outside. This evening we let Sandy tend the younger children while I took Mae out to dinner. I am not sure if this incident occurred tonight but I haven’t seen where I have added it before so I will add it here. We went to the “King’s Fork” restraint in Mesa. At this restraint they serve an all you can eat salad bar. As we got the food Mae saw some round deep fried balls and added some to her plate. When we got back to our table she cut one of those balls into. When she looked at it she screamed and throws it off her plate. It was a breaded deep fried oysters and they have a sickening green inside and so when eating them you just put the whole oyster in your mouth without looking at it. That was the first and last time Mae had ever eaten oysters. Everyone in the restraint was staring at her and she was so embarrass. I just broke out in a roar of laughter.
Sunday, October 21, 1973
I attended my early meetings and then Mae brought the children up for Sunday school. After coming home and having lunch, the boys and I laid down for a nap. Mae let us sleep thru Sacrament meeting. This evening Deloy Porter asked Tony Aldredge and I if we would give him a Priesthood Blessing. Of course we were happy to do it although we were not informed as to the specific reason. Often people have personal challenges in which they feel the need for help. Before going to bed Mae and I set and talked for quite a while.
Monday, October 22, 1973
While I was at worked Mae when shopping and got the material and accessories that we need to make new drapes for the house. She had the drapes sewn by the time I got home. She has sure been busy today and Sandy has sure been a big help to her. When Sandy got home from school she tended the little ones so Mae could sew. When I got home we had dinner and then hung the drapes. We were able to get the drapes hung this evening and they sue add to the comforts and looks of the house.
Tuesday, October 23, 1973
While I was at work, Mae got the patio all cleaned up. When I got home we had dinner and then I put some of our storage items that can stand the high heat, into the attic. We held Family Home Evening this evening and Mae gave a very good lesson. For our activity we cut out a Jack-a-lantern and the children especially enjoyed that.
Wednesday, October 24, 1973
Mae has been very busy today while I was at work. I really worry about the speed that Mae goes. I feel that she should slow down a little and relax. This evening we had Elder Cornwell and Elder Atwood over to eat dinner with us. Mae always puts on the Best when the Elders come over. This evening as a family we watched a couple of shows on TV, before going to bed.
Thursday, October 25, 1973
When I got home from work, Mae was at Primary. I got a bite to eat and went to the Temple. Tonight we had few patrons and so we ended up having a short night. When I got home, Mae and I watched a show on TV. She is sure a wonderful wife and sweetheart.
Friday, October 26, 1973
After getting home from work I cleaned up and then I played with the children on the floor. We all enjoy weaseling and giving them piggy back rides. This evening Mae and I attended a Ward Fund Raising Dinner, at $50.00 a plate. It was a very nice event and brought the Ward over $3,000 into the budget. At the dinner Mae won a nice Jewelry Box. I was sure tired when we got home.
Saturday, October 27, 1973
Larry called this morning and asked if I would go with him on a job that he needed help with. He then came back with me to Opie’s and help me there. After getting home I did a few repairs around the house that Mae wanted repaired. This evening we watched a show on TV as a family. Toney Aldredge and his Family came over just to visit for a few minutes.
Sunday, October 28, 1973
I was the Church meetings all day today. We spent the evening as a family. We did watch some TV together.
Monday, October 29, 1973
After work I cleaned up as Mae had invited the Premeck’s over for dinner and to spend the evening. We ate dinner at 7PM and then Sandy and their daughter Lori played in Sandy’s room. The rest of our children watched TV and played while the Premeck’s, Mae and I enjoyed visit. They are great people and we are hoping that they might be interested in lessoning to the full time missionaries. They would make great members, but unt then we enjoy having the as friends and neighbors.
Tuesday, October 30, 1973
I hurt my back at work today.  In as much as we had the Premeck’s over last night we didn’t have a F.H. Evening lesson so we thought we would have it this evening. However I had Stake Oral Evaluation to attend this evening. After getting back home I figured our budget and it is not looking very good.
Wednesday, October 31, 1973
Although my back is still hurting I managed to go to work anyway. Shellie stayed home from school today, not feeling well. This is the third day in a roll that she has stayed home from school. This afternoon when I got home from work I took all the family up to Dr. Opie’s to get treatments. This evening I took Sandy, Shellie, Mike and David out Trick-or-Treating. They had fun and with the weather in Arizona being so warm, they were all having fun. When we got home, Mae took the children to the school house where they enjoyed a Halloween party. When they returned Mae went with me to finish up my Home Teaching.
Thursday, November 01, 1973
After getting home from work, I went up to the church house where Brother Opie conducted a special meeting with those that have been asked to help canvas the ward on a Church Magazine Drive. He gave us instructions and I passed out the assigned areas. Church Magazine subscriptions come under my direction as Ward Executive Secretary. At the conclusion of the drive we all returned to the church where we had a pot luck dinner. The drive was very successful. Mae was sure a good support to me in my assignment or whatever I have to do.
Friday, November 02, 1973
When I got home from work, Mae told me that Shellie felt better this morning and attended school.  It must be going around. After eating dinner we watched a little TV and then David and I played on the floor. However I soon fell asleep on the carpet. Mae had to wake me to go to bed.
Saturday, November 03, 1973
I stayed home today and after breakfast with my family, I started painting the door in our house. It is cloudy today and so the paint is slower drying. Do to that I didn’t get all the doors painted. Mae and I went grocery shopping this afternoon. This evening we took Brother and Sister Caldwell out to dinner to show them our gradated for all the work Doug did in helping us purchase this home. It was Doug’s idea and help that made it possible. I would have never thought about trading our home, nor did I think that we had built up enough equity in our first house to make such a trade. I don’t think that Doug even took any commission out of the trade for himself. We had an enjoyable evening with them.
Sunday, November 04, 1973
Bob called me this morning mainly to see how we are doing. He feels bad that now he is out of the Air Force, and can be here where the family lived, now both Roy and I have moved our families out of the Utah area. My Family and I attended meeting today as normal, with me going in early for Priesthood Leadership meetings.  We sure enjoy being with Larry and Tammy and our children have a very good time together. (As I make these entrances into my computer Personal History and I record an entry in which I mention Larry and Tammy, I have a sick, lonely feeling in my heart. I hope that sometime we can correct these feelings.)
Monday, November 05, 1973
Today at work, we finished up the job we have been doing in Sun City, Arizona. That has been an interesting experience but it has also been quite a drive each day. The job consisted of remodeling a Church there in Sun City. Sun City is a retirement village and so has only elderly people that live there. All facilities are designed for the Elderly including recreation center, golf course, etc. Golf carts are a normal thing to have on the streets and they mainly have the right-a-way. This chapel is the only chapel that I have seen. With the residency, there are many funerals held there as well as many social activities. The building was original constructed in somewhat of a U shape, with the chapel running east and west and wings extending to the south. The wings contain office and class rooms extending southwards about 100 feet. There was about 80 feet of space between the two wings. The remodeling was to build a large room in between these two wings, closing it in, making a recreation center out of that space. When Larry sent me out there, they had just set the trusses between the two wings. Crews had laid roofing sheathing on the east side trusses and were now carrying sheathing from the east side to the west side. I reported into the superintended who was busy getting crews lined up for the day. Seeing his schedule, I started helping the crew carry the sheathing, (sheets of 4’ X 8’ X 1/2” plywood) up the east side to the crew that was installing it to the west side. As I walked up the roof, carrying the sheathing, I noticed that by the time I got to the ridge of the roof, there was a very notable bounce to the roof. I had only worked for a short time when the superintended assigned me to take three men with me and go to the west side of the chapel and start framing a canapé that was to extend from the building to the curbing of the street. He gave me a set of plans for that section of the remodeling. As we started to lay out the structure, it was definitely easy to realize that the pillars, which had already been poured of concrete, were way outside the measurement of the planned roofing. I went back to the superintended and told him that there was a problem. When I pointed out the problem, he reassigned me and the men to start working on a build up beam that was to cross between the center of the two wings and then from the center of that beam to the south wall of the chapel. From these beams were to hang ten foot byfold doors that would section the large room into three rooms. As I went over the plans and the engineering of the beams, I told the superintended that the beam would never hold up the weight of the doors. I explained that the nailing design would pull apart, plus I felt (because of the bounce I felt when carrying sheathing across them) that the trusses were not strong enough to hold that weight. He assured me that the trusses were engineered for the weight. When I explained the nailing design, with 16 penny nails driven up vertically would pull out as they were designed to hold horizontally, he considered that thought and asked what he thought we should do. I suggested that we build it to plan, plus we have steal 4 inch angle iron plates made and bolt then into the framing. Then instead of just nailing the finish paneling onto the framing, that we also use construction glue to secure the ¾” paneling. He agreed with my ideas and said that he would get the angle iron plating and for me to go ahead with the framing. I told him that I was still afraid that the beam would not hold that weight. We framed the beam as to engineered design and then bolted the angle iron braces into place before gluing and nailing the paneling as to engineered nail pattern. Completing the interior beams completed the portion of the construction that Larry had been asked to do. (Several months later, after we had moved back to Utah, I got a call from Larry, asking if I remembered working on the Sun City job. Of course I did and he asked if I built the interior beams as to Engineered Specification. When I said no, I could almost hear his heart stop. I then added that we had built the beam exactly to plans, but then we added the angle iron bracing and the gluing of the paneling. His heart again started beating. I then told him, “The beam is coming down isn’t it”. He said it was. The doors were hung and within a week they were dragging on the floor. The door company came back and cut the doors off shorter.  A law suit was now taking place and he was asked if the beam had been built to engineered speciations. I told him that if they would pull a straight string down the roof ridge, or sight down it, they would find that the roof sagged down where the beam was attached underneath. It was several months later that I again had the opportunity to ask Larry, how the law suit ended up. He said that when he told them of how I had added steel reinforcement to the design, but that the engineered plans had been followed exactly, he never heard any more.
After I got home from work I finished the painting of our doors. We had a very enjoyable Family Home Evening. After putting the children down for the evening, Mae and I set up and talked for some time. Mae is sure wonderful, in every way!
Tuesday, November 06, 1973
I went into work this morning but when I got to the job site, the materials were still locked up and there was no power available. Maybe I should explain here. Because of the great amount of theft of building materials in most construction areas, contractors have found it necessary to put up 10 foot chain link fencing with bobbed wire topping and locked gates. Some also release watch dogs into the area. This morning the security had not been removed. Also because of the high demand of new construction the power company no longer installs temporary power supplies and so either the contractor or each crew has to furnish generators for the crew. As a result that neither power nor materials were available this morning our crew just went home for the day. Having the day off (without pay) it gave me time to finish the painting and re-hanging the door in our house. This evening Mae and I went Christmas Shopping.
Wednesday, November 07, 1973
Work went better today. After I finished work I went over to Larry’s. he has a Palm tree in his front Yard that was planted to close to the house. He needed help to remove it and since it was a good looking tree, we thought that we might transplant it into our front yard. Larry had already arranged for a tractor, a trailer and chains, so we dug around the base of the tree, tying canvas around the root ball and using chains and the tractor, with great effort was able to load the tree onto the trailer. We had not estimated the great weight that the Palm tree had. The trailer that we used had the capacity to haul a medium size tractor but it still was overloaded with the tree. We had to drive very carefully from Larry’s to my place. When we first got to our home, we dug a hole, deep enough to hold the tree ball. Again with chains, come-a-longs and a lot of physical labor we put the tree into the hole. It was a lot harder to move than we thought it would be. Although we tried to care for the tree, it never did take root and finally had to be removed and hauled to the dumps. This evening Mae and I went out to eat at a Chinese Restraint, with Lois and Deloy Porter. We had an enjoyable evening.
Thursday, November 08, 1973
I left work today with an uneasy feeling about the way we are coming out financially with the jobs. I am concerned that Larry cannot continue this way. It looks to me that we are going into a down slump with construction here in the Phoenix area. When Larry had me come to work for him, he had five crews of men working full time but now he is starting to lay men off. This evening I worked in the Temple Baptistery as my normal assigned evening. Mae, Jim and Marion came with me although they went through an Endowment Session while I worked in the Baptistery. We met afterwards and the four of us went out for pizza and to enjoy visiting.
Friday, November 09, 1973
I worked late today, trying to get some things finished up. This evening there was a special large group coming to perform Baptistiams for the Dead and so they had asked for extra help. I had volunteered to help and so went into the Temple. I got home after 9:00 this evening. Sandy had been called to do some Baby Sitting and so Mae and I waited up until she was brought home.
Saturday, November 10, 1973
I did a few things around the house for Mae. Later I took Mike and David with me and we went up to Vic Shield’s where I cut a door off for him. When I finished that task, we took our family to the church house where we had out pictures taken for a Ward Directory. After taking the children back home, Mae and I went over to Jim and Marion’s where we weeded their garden.
Sunday, November 11, 1973
Everything went well at Church today. This evening I prepared dinner and then played with the children on the floor. We went over to Larry and Tammy’s this evening. We enjoyed just visiting with them along with playing rook. It was late when we got home and put the children to bed.
Monday, November 12, 1973
When I got home from work, all my family was looking forward to having Family Home Evening. However I got a call asking if I would help with a Ward project. Then at 7:30pm I had to go up to the Church House where I joined with the entire ward clerks to have our picture taken for the Ward Directory. By the time I returned home it was bed time. The children were disappointed that we missed our Family Night.
Tuesday, November 13, 1973
When I got home from work today, I built a fence around our furnace and air conditioner. After dinner this evening we held a Family Home Evening in place of the one we missed last night. Someone must have given Sandy a kitten as I have noted that it kept us awake most of the night.
Wednesday, November 14, 1973
At work today, we poured concrete at Larry’s home. If my memory is correct, for the past few days of work, it has consisted of Larry’s five crew leaders digging, forming and pouring a swimming pool. The concrete was for the patio around the pool. Larry had previously purchased a plastic pool liner that had corrugated liner to hold up the plastic liner. We dug the hole for the pool to set down in and formed the patio around it. As crew leaders, we realize that Larry is doing this just to give us work. He has let all the rest of the workers go as there is no work right now. I wonder just how long this can last. When I talked to Larry about it, his answer was that if he let his crew leaders go he was out of business. When I got home from work, Jim, Marion, Mae and I went to the Temple to do an Endowment session. When we got home I was sure tired.
Thursday, November 15, 1973
We, the five crew leaders, went out on a job. When we got there, the material had not been delivered. We waited until 10:30 and then came back home. No work today! I didn’t get much done around our home when I got there either. This evening I went into the Temple for my normal Baptistery assignment. When I got home, Mae and I watched a show on TV before going to bed.
Friday, November 16, 1973
My Diary didn’t contain anything about going to work. This evening we tended Larry and Tammy’s children as they went out of town after fire wood. Brother and Sister Tryon came over this evening just to visit. We sure enjoyed their visit.
Saturday, November 17, 1973
After breakfast I weeded our garden, then changed the oil and greased our station wagon. We then took our children, Larry four children, Marion and Malinda Frazer to the Phoenix Zoo. I don’t remember if Marion drove her car or not. If she didn’t, we sure had a car full but at that time we didn’t have the seat belt law and our station wagon could really be packed. When we returned home I packed the wheel bearing in the station wagon. This evening we attended a Ward Dinner.
Sunday, November 18, 1973
It was a fairly normal Sunday except that this evening Mae had a meeting to attend. I stayed home with the children. Sandy also had an interview to receive a Limited Temple Recommend. This will make it possible for her to be proxy to be baptized for the dead. She wants to be able to attend with me on my normal Thursday evening assignment.
Monday, November 19, 1973
Today was a cold day and we noticed it at work. As I arrived on the job site, men were standing around a small fire to warm them self. On the radio the weather man announced that it was a cold 70 degree this morning. I couldn’t help smiling to realize how we have become acclimatized to the Arizona weather in the past three years. Mae has been very busy today and when I got home from work she was sure tired. We had a nice Family Home Evening tonight. After putting the little ones to bed I worked on finding our winter clothing in preparation to go to Utah for Thanksgiving. Mae and I decorated for Sandy’s Birthday before going to bed. We are going to celebrate her Birthday tomorrow as we will leave for Utah on Wednesday.
Tuesday, November 20, 1973
We let Sandy open her Birthday presents this morning. I was able to get the main order for our Wards Church Magazine drive, in the mail this afternoon. Mae fed the little children before I got home from work. After I got home, Mae and I took Sandy out to dinner in honor of her Birthday tomorrow. This evening we had the Premax‘s over for ice cream and cake.
Wednesday, November 21, 1973
I went to work but took off at 12:30PM so that we could get packed and off to Utah. It was about 3pm when we finally got away. We went by way of Las Vegas so that we missed the mountain snowy roads. With the station wagon the children were able to sleep when they got tired. With the exceptions of bathroom breaks we drove straight through.
Thursday, November 22, 1973 Thanksgiving Day
We didn’t arrive at Mae’s parents until 6am. We carried the children in and then Mae and I went to bed. I slept until 9AM but Mae slept until 11AM. Mom and Dad Porter had Thanksgiving dinner at their place. Rick and Georgia came for dinner as well as Terry and Kim were there. About 4PM we took our family over to Bob and Carrols where we again had pie and ice cream. Mom and Dad Jensen also got there about 4PM. We enjoyed visiting and playing games. This evening we went back to Mom and Dad Porters where we slept.
Friday, November 23, 1973
Today Bob and Carroll again invited us down to their place at 4PM. They had a wonderful dinner with all the trimmings. Mom and Dad Jensen along with all of my siblings and family except Roy’s family were there.  This evening Mae went over to Shirley Murdock’s where Shirley and RaNae Barney gave her a baby shower. We were mid-night before getting back to Mom and Dad porters and to bed.
Saturday, November 24, 1973
After getting going this morning, Mae and I went over to Georgia and Rick’s and visited with them. We then went over to Bishop Delmar Moulin and his sweet wife June. From there we stopped over and visited with Nike (Marrine) Dransfield who was the Stake Young Wemon’s President and had called Mae to serve as one of her counselors. Before going back to Mom and Dad Porter’s we stopped and bought some vitamins and some apples. This evening Mae’s mother invited some of her family to come and have a Christmas party as we will not be here at Christmas time. Mae stayed there and played games and I went over to Bob’s where I played games with some of my siblings.
Sunday, November 25, 1973
We attended Priesthood and Sunday school in Mom and Dad Porter ward. When we returned Mom Porter had prepared a wonderful dinner. My family attended Sacrament meeting at the Clearfield 1st Ward. We sure enjoyed seeing so many of the people that we had grown to love when we lived here. This evening I got the car packed so we can get an early start for home in the morning.
Monday, November 26, 1973
We left Mae’s parents at 6:45am, stopping at Bob’s for just a few minutes before leaving for home. It snowed last night and so the roads were quite bad until we got to Cedar City and then they cleared up. We again stopped only when necessary but it was still 12:30AM when we got home.
Tuesday, November 27, 1973
I went back to work this morning although I was tired. This evening I took Sandy over to the Stake Presidents office where she got her Temple Recommend signed. Mom Porter’s has some friends that are spending the winter here in Sunny Arizona. When they came down from Utah Mom had sent a box of fruit with them. Mom had bottled the fruit last fall, for us. After getting Sandy’s recommend signed, we drove over to their place and picked up the box. We are sure going to enjoy those perseverates. This evening I attended the Stake Oral Evaluation whit the Bishopric. After returning home this evening we had a salesman give us a demonstration on a water softener. It would be nice and with the hard Arizona water, we could us it, but we can’t afford one now.
Wednesday, November 28, 1973
Work went ok today. After getting home and having dinner, Mae and I went over to Dr. Opies for a treatment. When we returned we rested for a while and then played games with the children. When bedtime came for the little ones, Mae put them to bed. Sandy and I played a game of marbles while she did that. Mae and I then went over to the Allen’s just to visit with them. When we came back home we watched a show on TV before going to bed.
Thursday, November 29, 1973
When I got home from work and had some dinner, Sandy and I went to the Temple. Sandy acted as proxy and was baptized for 10 sisters. I was assigned as the baptizer this evening and so was able to baptize Sandy. After finishing this evening and as Sandy and I drove home, we had a good visit as to the importance of Temple work for the Dead. Mae and I again watched a show on TV before going to bed.
Friday, November 30, 1973
This evening after dinner I played with the children on the floor until they had me worn out. With this being the last day of the month, I still needed to visit the Essley’s as their Home Teacher. I took Mae with me to be my partner tonight to make the visit. We did have a nice visit with them. We then picked up our proofs for the Ward Directory. From there we went over to Larry and Tammy’s and visited for a while.
Saturday, December 01, 1973
I worked today to help make up some of my time that I lost during our Thanksgiving trip to Utah. After getting home, I cleaned up and then we took our family shopping for a Christmas tree, but there were no lots that have opened up yet. To overcome the disappointment we stopped and bought hamburgers for dinner, then went to the park where the children enjoyed playing for a while. When we got home we let the children stay up and we watched some TV for a while.
Sunday, December 02, 1973
This morning was a busy morning for me. Starting with Bishopric meeting, then Priesthood Executive meeting, followed by normal Fast Sunday meetings. I also started preparing for yearend Tithing Settlement appointments with the Bishop. After meetings we had invited Jerry Hanselman to our place for dinner. Mae as normal had a lovely dinner. Jerry had brought some of his slides that he had taken while in Europe to show us. Jerry is a great friend that I have enjoyed being with every since we met at Hugh’s Air West. It has been quite a nice day, but we went to bed early and quite tired. ** I may have already explained about the appointments that I have been making for Tithing Settlement this year, but I am not sure and so I will enter some explanation here. Last year in early November, the Lehi Ward, which we lived in, was divided into the Lehi 1st and the Lehi 2nd wards. Bishop Price was released and Bishop Carl Reese was sustained as Bishop of the 1st Ward and Bishop Shield was sustained as Bishop of the 2nd Ward. A week or two after the reorganization Bishop Price came into the office asking for Bishop Reese. I was there and told Bishop Price that Bishop Reese was in his office but he was in an interview and could not be disturbed right now. Bishop Price explained that due to Ward division being late in the year, Salt Lake Presiding Bishopric office had sent the Tithing Settlement Receipts to his mailing address. He therefore devided the receipts up according to the new Ward boundaries and he gave me our Wards receipts to give to Bishop Reese. When Bishop Reese was finished with the interview and came out of his office, he saw the package. He asked what the package was and I told him that it was his surprise for the year. I then explained that for a new Bishops, there first Tithing Settlement was usually a surprised. He replied, “Brother Browning, I have lived in this ward for many years and I know these people, it will not be a surprise to me!” Following the end of last year tithing settlement and at the first Ward Council meeting Bishop Reese’s opening comments were “Brother Browning told me that tithing settlement would be a surprise to me. I told him that it wouldn’t be a surprise to me.” He then added, “Was I wrong and was I surprised!” Nothing else was said about it until this year when he got this years, Year End Tithing Settlement receipts; he told the Ward Council that last year he had to sign the majority of the Tithing Settlements Receipts as signed by Bishop. This year he wanted at least one person from each family in the Ward to come into his office and report for that family. His plan was to announce in each meeting for two weeks that Signup Sheets for Tithing Settlements are posted at the Bishop’s Office. After the two weeks, and he turned to me, you will call each family that has not signed up and make an appointment for them to come into the office and meet with him as Bishop.
Monday, December 03, 1973
When I got home from work, we had dinner and then we had a Family Home Evening lesson. I had to go up to the church to be in a picture with the clerks of our Ward. When I got home we had out refreshments and then we all loaded into the station wagon and went up town looking for Christmas trees but the trees still hadn’t arrived.
Tuesday, December 04, 1973
I was late getting home from work this evening. Mae had dinner ready and when I finished eating I went up to the church house to help with Home Teaching Oral Evaluations between the Priesthood Leaders and the Bishopric. I didn’t get home until 10:45pm. Mae was busy with Primary preparations.
Wednesday, December 05, 1973
When I got home from work, Mae informed me that David had woke with a cough and has been sick all day. I set down with the kids and watched a show on TV with them before dinner. I then met with our Ward Librarians, at the church, to demonstrate the new copy machine that our Ward reassembly purchased.
Thursday, December 06, 1973
I finished up the job at Fort McDowell, which I have been working on for the past while. I came home a little early. Mae and the children were at Primary when I got home. When they got home Mae told me that David was feeling much better today. This evening I went to the Temple on my regular assignment. After returning home I found Mae busy with Primary preparations. I watched a show on TV while I waited for Mae to finish her preparations so that we could go to bed together.
Friday, December 07, 1973
Mae has been busy all day preparing for a Primary Christmas Lunching with all the Primary leaders. When I got home we took all the family out looking for a Christmas tree. This time we were successful and found a nice tree for $13.50 that we bought. After getting home we had dinner and while the rest of the family watched a Christmas show on TV, I got the tree into the house and got it decorated.
Saturday, December 08, 1973
After breakfast I went up to the Opies where I finished the remodeling I have been doing for them. When I got home at 3pm I took my children Christmas shopping. At 4:30PM I attended the first session of our Stake Conference, which I believe was for Bishopric’s and Ward Clerks. If my memory is correct Elder Tom L. Perry was the visiting author, at that time I believe that he was an Assistant to the Twelve. He talked to us as to what was the most important date we were to put on our calendar as we made our monthly plans. He opened it up for comments and got several ideas. After some thoughts were presented he said “The most important date to calendar was a weekly date night with our wife’s.” “Some time needs to be planned for spending one on one time with our Eternal Partner”. Marion and Jim Fraizer went with Mae and I to the 7PM session. Following that session the four of went out to eat.
Sunday, December 09, 1973
We had Stake Conference this morning so that took the place of today’s meetings. Mike didn’t feel well this morning so Mae stayed home from conference with him. After conference was over and we had dinner, I went up to the church house where I worked on Tithing Settlement and also preparing for the sale of tickets for the upcoming “Know Your Religion” classes. I also called both Rich and Irven about my concerns with the construction work down here. I just let them know that I was putting out feelers for what I might be facing. This evening we went over to the Fraizer’s just to visit.
Monday, December 10, 1973
After getting home from work today, I trimmed the palm tree way back as it isn’t looking very good. After dinner this evening we held our F.H.E. That went well and every seemed to have a good time. We then discussed Christmas plans. After putting the little ones to bed, we left Sandy in charge while Mae and I walked over to meet Don Studson and his family. They are a new family that has just moved into our sub-division.
Tuesday, December 11, 1973
When I got home from work, I finished building the fence around the air-conditioner. Larry and Tammy came by to visit for a few minutes. After dinner I went up to the Church House where I was busy in the office until 9:30pm. (I believe tonight I received instructions from Bishop Reese that I should start making appointment for those that had not sign up for Tithing Settlement.) When I returned home, Mae was watching a show on TV so I set with her until it finished at 10PM. We then visited about our concerns over finances and how stable work will be with Larry and the building slump we are in. It seems that I always get into the building trade just before a big slump takes place.
Wednesday, December 12, 1973
This evening after returning from work and having dinner all the family got into the station wagon and we went to the Owen Mills Portrait Studio at the Thomas Mall in Phoenix, where we had pictures taken. Following the pictures, we decided that as we were already at the Mall, we took the time to walk through the mall and see the Christmas Decorations. This evening I made more appointments for Ward members to meet with Bishop Reese for the year end tithing settlement. Mae sure is a supportive and wonderful wife.
Thursday, December 13, 1973
When I returned home from work, Mae and the children were at Primary. Mae drove me up to the Temple tonight as she has need of the car. While there I visited with the supervisor over the Baptistery and explained that Mae and I felt that with my calling as Executive Secretary and with the stress of work, we felt that I should be released from my Temple Calling. He expressed appreciation for my work but felt that he could realize my needs. This evening we had an extra large group of proxies, but it went well. When Mae came to the Temple to get me, we took the time to go to the cafeterias where we had a bowl of soup. I will certainly miss this experience of each week being in the Temple.
Friday, December 14, 1973
At work today there wasn’t enough work for me to put in a full day. I got home early and built some drawers for Larry. This evening at 7PM Mae and I attended a Christmas party but on by the Bishopric in honor of the Ward Clerks. It was a wonderful evening and I felt it a great privilege to be able to work with these Brethren.
Saturday, December 15, 1973
This morning Mae, Shellie, Mike, David and I went with Larry and his family, to the mountains above Pine, Arizona to get firewood. It is also a chance for the children to play in the snow. Sandy stayed home as she wanted to go to a production “The Nut Cracker Ballay” with Lori Premack. After returning Mae and the children went to a Ward Christmas party. This evening Mae and I went to the Know Your Religion classes. It was a great evening!
Sunday, December 16, 1973
This morning I attended Ward Executive meeting. I reported to Bishop Reese that in making the calls for the appointment to Tithing Settlement, I had one person refuse to make an appointment and when I put some pressure telling her that the Bishop wanted to visit with her, she slammed the receiver down hard. Bishop Reese, after a moment turned to Brother Opie, asking, aren’t you her uncle? When Brother Opie said Yes, Bishop asked him to contact her to make the appointment. The rest of the morning was busy as normal. In Sacrament Brother Robert VanBeekum was sustained as 2nd Councilor in the Bishopric. This evening we had invited Deloy & Lois Porter over. I have a note that we attended an open house at Brother and Sister Leon Wright’s this evening.
Monday, December 17, 1973
This evening we joined with the Braithwaite’s for Family Home Evening at their place. We had a nice dimmer and following that the children under the direction of Sandy and Lori put on a Christmas Nativity. It was very well done with all of the children participating in the program. Following that we watched slid pictures that brought back many great memories. It was a very enjoyable evening.
Tuesday, December 18, 1973
On the way to work this morning the Chevrolet broke down. I didn’t indicate what went out on the Chevrolet or how I got to work or back home! Mae picked up some food storage today. Following dinner this evening we went to the Whitman Elementary school where we enjoyed a concert. Sandy was singing in the chorus tonight. This evening I again work on making Tithing Settlement appointments.
Wednesday, December 19, 1973
After work I had to stop and get some parts and some tools so that I can repair the car. Larry wanted me to stop at his place for a few minutes and he suggested that I buy a van for work. That way my tools could be inside where they were locked up for security and I would have a heaver vehicle for work. When I got home Mae ahd I went over to Phoenix to pick out picture proofs. This evening we took all our family Christmas Caroling especially stopping at selected widows homes.
Thursday, December 20, 1973
I took off work early today so that I could look for a van. I also had some errands that Mae wanted me to do. At 6pm I found a van that looks pretty good, but I want to think about it. I had to hurry to get to the church house to help with Tithing Settlement. The first three appointments did not show up. When the fourth appointment showed and was taken into the Bishops office, before the Bishop closed the door he gave me instructions to call the first three families and tell them that he, Bishop Reese, had been waiting for them for over an hour and he expected them to make a new appointment with him and keep it. The first one that I called said, “He is serious, isn’t he!” I said that he was. They re-scheduled and I believe the word soon go out as from then on everyone kept their appointments. Bishop Reese told me that he would sell me his Suborn at Low-Book. I wish I could but the price would still be out of my range. It was mid-night when I got home and to bed.
Friday, December 21, 1973
As closing time came for work, Larry came around and gave me a new $100.00 bill and a nice size ham as a Christmas Bonus. I stopped at the car lot and got the papers on the van, taking then to the Credit Union and applied for a loan on the van. They approved the loan and gave me a check which I went back to the car lot and picked up the van. I then went home and took my family for a ride in the van. We then went up to the church house where my family had an appointment with Bishop Reese for our yearend report, it went just as normal as any other Tithing Settlement we have attended. I have often wondered what Bishop Reese said to the others when they came in. Whether it was the fact that he just visited with every family or if it was something that he said, but this much I know that in the future our wards statics rose dramatically. After meeting with Bishop Reese, we took the children home where Sandy tended them. Mae and I went to the store to do some shopping and then we went out to eat.

--- title: 'Using PRIO-GRID in R' subtitle: Walkthrough for using the PRIO-GRID data in R. summary: Walkthrough for using the PRIO-GRID data in R. authors: - admin tags: categories: [] date: "2020-07-03" lastmod: "10 July, 2020" featured: false draft: false ---
I’ve started working on a new project that relies on the PRIO-GRID data, a truly unique and kinda mind-boggling effort to systematize spatial data analysis. Basically, PRIO-GRID breaks up the Earth into a grid of little squares, or cells, each of which is 0.5 x 0.5 decimal degrees (roughly 50 x 50 km at the equator; you can read more about the data here). They then conformed a wide variety of available spatial data to this grid system, giving you access to things like the population of each 50 x 50 km square everywhere in the globe. Very cool.
The data come in three flavors:
Shapefiles
: information for plotting and doing spatial analysis on the grid systemStatic variables
: data at the cell-level on stuff that doesn’t change (e.g., how mountainous that cell is)Yearly variables
: data at the cell-level that changes over time (e.g., rain, population, etc.)Interacting with the shapefiles will require some specific R packages.
There are two main packages for dealing with spatial data in R:
spdep
: older, richer set of functions, not-tidysf
: newer, fewer functions, tidy and beautifulI would rather only use sf
, but there are some nice functions in spdep
we’ll need to use in this example that I’m not sure I can replicate in sf
.
First, we read the shape files into R using st_read
. For some reason, the function call separates the file path into the folder the shape file is in (dsn
), and then the shape file itself (layer
).
# read data
prio = st_read(dsn = "../../../../../data/priogrid_cellshp",
layer = "priogrid_cell",
stringsAsFactors = F) %>%
mutate(gid = as.character(gid))
## Reading layer `priogrid_cell' from data source `/Users/JuamnTellez/Dropbox/data/priogrid_cellshp' using driver `ESRI Shapefile'
## Simple feature collection with 259200 features and 5 fields
## geometry type: POLYGON
## dimension: XY
## bbox: xmin: -180 ymin: -90 xmax: 180 ymax: 90
## CRS: 4326
Let’s look at the data:
prio %>%
head()
## Simple feature collection with 6 features and 5 fields
## geometry type: POLYGON
## dimension: XY
## bbox: xmin: 163.5 ymin: 89.5 xmax: 166.5 ymax: 90
## CRS: 4326
## gid xcoord ycoord col row geometry
## 1 259168 163.75 89.75 688 360 POLYGON ((163.5 89.5, 163.5...
## 2 259169 164.25 89.75 689 360 POLYGON ((164 89.5, 164 90,...
## 3 259170 164.75 89.75 690 360 POLYGON ((164.5 89.5, 164.5...
## 4 259171 165.25 89.75 691 360 POLYGON ((165 89.5, 165 90,...
## 5 259172 165.75 89.75 692 360 POLYGON ((165.5 89.5, 165.5...
## 6 259173 166.25 89.75 693 360 POLYGON ((166 89.5, 166 90,...
This is where sf
really shines. As you can see, the data is just a tibble
, with the spatial polygons stored as a column of lists in geometry
. What this does is foreground the stuff you care about (i.e., the unit level characteristics, such as covariates, and outcomes) and sticks the stuff you mostly use for plotting and other stuff in that last column.
Compare this to what you get from rgdal::readOGR
, which is a “SpatialPolygonsDataFrame” class object that is also slower to work with.
The PRIO-GRID data is huge because it covers the whole globe. This makes it harder to work with, especially once you are trying to do any kind of modeling. One way to make the data more manageable is to just focus on one region of the globe (e.g., Africa), or, as I will show here, just get rid of all the water.
Yes, the PRIO-GRID includes all of the world’s oceans, which means who-knows-how-many grids that you have no use for (I guess unless you are maybe studying maritime conflict?). Unfortunately, the PRIO-GRID data (at time of writing) does not include a simple way to distinguish grids based on whether or not they are water or land.
One quick way to exclude irrelevant cells is to merge in the yearly PRIO-GRID variables on gid
, and use the Gleditch and Gleditsch and Ward country codes (gwno
) to identify what country each cell belongs to. Any cell without a gwno
is water, so we drop it.
# read in PRIO yearly data
prio_year =
# just want gid and gwno to identify water
vroom("../../../../../data/priogrid_cellshp/prio-grid-yearly.csv",
col_select = c("gid", "gwno", "year", "pop_gpw_sum")) %>%
# we got multipe years of data and changing country,
# so i'm arbitrarily picking all countries in most recent year
filter(year == 2005) %>%
mutate(gid = as.character(gid)) %>%
select(-year)
# merge in gwno to identify country grids
prio = left_join(prio, prio_year)
head(prio)
## Simple feature collection with 6 features and 7 fields
## geometry type: POLYGON
## dimension: XY
## bbox: xmin: 163.5 ymin: 89.5 xmax: 166.5 ymax: 90
## CRS: 4326
## gid xcoord ycoord col row gwno pop_gpw_sum geometry
## 1 259168 163.75 89.75 688 360 NA NA POLYGON ((163.5 89.5, 163.5...
## 2 259169 164.25 89.75 689 360 NA NA POLYGON ((164 89.5, 164 90,...
## 3 259170 164.75 89.75 690 360 NA NA POLYGON ((164.5 89.5, 164.5...
## 4 259171 165.25 89.75 691 360 NA NA POLYGON ((165 89.5, 165 90,...
## 5 259172 165.75 89.75 692 360 NA NA POLYGON ((165.5 89.5, 165.5...
## 6 259173 166.25 89.75 693 360 NA NA POLYGON ((166 89.5, 166 90,...
With the gwno
identifier merged in, we can now identify land/water and even subset to specific countries or sets of countries. Note that I also merged in a population estimate for plotting below. The sf
package also works nicely with ggplot
. For instance, here’s GRID-level population in Venezuela, below:
# plot Venezuela as sanity check
prio %>%
filter(gwno == 101) %>%
#mutate(pop_cut = cut_number(pop_gpw_sum, 10)) %>%
ggplot(aes(fill = pop_gpw_sum)) +
geom_sf() +
scale_fill_viridis_c(option = "inferno",
end = .9,
trans = "log10",
labels = scales::comma,
name = "") +
labs(title = "GRID-level population in Venezuela") +
theme(panel.grid.major = element_blank())
ggsave(filename = "featured.png", device = "png")
We can also drop all the water, as promised:
## throw out water tiles: places with no gwno == not countries
prio_land =
prio %>%
drop_na(gwno)
We’re now down to a dataset that is 25% of its original size, which will help a lot down the road.
Doing most kinds of spatial analysis requires knowning how the different units in your data relate to one another. With spatial data, it’s common to look at whether two units are neighbors or not. Being a neighbor might be defined as sharing a common border, the distances between the capitals, or centroids, or… whatever. The often arbitrary nature of this choice is one of the tricky aspects of spatial modeling.
To describe these relationships, we use an N by N adjacency matrix, where N is the number of units in our data and any entry (i,j) tells us whether units i and j are neighbors or not.
To do this in R, I find the easiest thing is (unfortunately) to switch from sf
to spdep
package and use the spdep::poly2nb()
function.
# convert back to sp object to use nice sp dep functions
prio_land_sp = as(prio_land, Class = "Spatial")
Below, we specify queen == FALSE
because we want to use Rook’s contiguity (as opposed to Queen’s). You should look into the difference between these two (also, perhaps, another arbitrary decision point). Note that this step takes a long time.
# get neighbors
nb = poly2nb(prio_land_sp,
queen = FALSE,
row.names = prio_land_sp$gid)
The output of our nb
object looks like this, and tells us a bunch of information about what neighborhood relations among our units looks like, including whether any units were found to have no neighbors:
load("../../../static/nb.rda")
nb
## Neighbour list object:
## Number of regions: 64818
## Number of nonzero links: 249856
## Percentage nonzero weights: 0.005947008
## Average number of links: 3.854732
## 39 regions with no links:
##<PHONE_NUMBER>69<PHONE_NUMBER>15<PHONE_NUMBER>25<PHONE_NUMBER>08<PHONE_NUMBER>06<PHONE_NUMBER>27<PHONE_NUMBER>83<PHONE_NUMBER>37<PHONE_NUMBER>08<PHONE_NUMBER>87<PHONE_NUMBER>35<PHONE_NUMBER>98<PHONE_NUMBER>46<PHONE_NUMBER>55<PHONE_NUMBER>18<PHONE_NUMBER>14<PHONE_NUMBER>87<PHONE_NUMBER>0 90142 62356 58318
There’s actually a way to do this without leaving sf
, though I found it on a Github comment thread, and without digging more into it am not sure how robust it is (though it does pass general sniff test).
# let's do this again, but with sf package; faster, but seems dodgier, based off a github comment:
# https://github.com/r-spatial/sf/issues/234
st_rook = function(a, b = a) st_relate(a, b, pattern = "F***1****")
prio_land = prio_land %>% mutate(NB_ROOK = st_rook(.))
Something prudent at this point would be to check whether the neighborhood list we got actually makes sense.
First, let’s look at a place that the nb
object tells us has no neighbors:
# plot place with no neighbors, Alaskan island
prio_land %>%
filter(gwno == 2) %>%
ggplot() +
geom_sf() +
# add the place with no neighbors
geom_sf(data = filter(prio_land, gid == 211700), fill = "red") +
# zoom in on location
coord_sf(xlim = c(-180, -140), ylim = c(50, 70), expand = FALSE)
Checks out: looks like some tiny Alaskan island that shouldn’t have neighbors.
Now, how about a place that should have neighbors? Let’s look at a random cell in Canada:
# plot place and its neighbors (in canada) # CHECKS OUT!
prio_land %>%
filter(gwno == 20) %>%
ggplot() + geom_sf() +
# random place in canada
geom_sf(data = filter(prio_land, gid == 249328), fill = "red") +
# neighbors from nb object
geom_sf(data = filter(prio_land, gid %in% c(249329,249327, 248608)), fill = "blue") +
# zoom in on location
coord_sf(xlim = c(-100, -50), ylim = c(75, 85), expand = FALSE)
A bit hard to make out, but if you zoom in you will see that the nb
object correctly identified this GRID’s neighbors.
Having an adjacency matrix of relations between units opens up possibilities for fitting different kinds of spatial models to your data. A common first step is to test whether the variable you are interested in exhibits a high degree of spatial clustering, or “autocorrelation”, which has implications for what kind of model you should fit to your data.
The first step is converting our nb
object to a list using nblistw()
. We include zero.policy = TRUE
because there are a few unconnected cells in our data. The style
argument is important here: it defines how you weigh the connections in your data. A common approach is to row-standardize the adjacency matrix using style = "W"
. The strength of this approach vs. others is another decision-point in spatial analysis.
# store as list (most modeling packages require this)
lw = nb2listw(nb, style = "W", zero.policy = TRUE)
print(lw, zero.policy = TRUE) ## to look at lw contents
## Characteristics of weights list object:

A common test of spatial autocorrelation is the Moran’s I test, which can be implemented with the spdep::morant.test()
function. Below, we test whether there is spatial autocorrelation in population:
moran.test(prio_land_sp$pop_gpw_sum, listw = lw, zero.policy = TRUE)
##
## Moran I test under randomisation
##
## data: prio_land_sp$pop_gpw_sum
## weights: lw n reduced by no-neighbour observations
##
##
## Moran I statistic standard deviate = 212.41, p-value < 2.2e-16
## alternative hypothesis: greater
## sample estimates:
## Moran I statistic Expectation Variance
## 6.055005e-01 -1.543734e-05 8.126835e-06
There’s clearly strong autocrrelation (.61) which is statistically significant (p-value is basically zero). You can also apply the Moran’s I test to a vanilla model you’ve already fit as a test of whether a spatial econometric model would be more appropriate.
That’s just the tip of the iceberg but a good place to get started. Big thanks to Rob Williams and Jeremy Springman for help getting me started!

The combination of these three substances was done more due to the fact that my group only had a small amount of each one and wanted to make the most of our night.
The night began at around 10 pm with 2 pills of mdma needed for four people, the logical choice was to split them in half and take it nasally. Therefor the pills were crushed, divided and snorted, yeah it hurts, but I was feeling the effects pretty soon.
About five minutes after the pills were snorted each of us took ~5 mg of Foxy orally, one way to forget about the pain from snorting mdma is took taste the foxy :-). Within about 5 minutes of snorting the mdma its effects started to come on, there wasn't much time to wait it seemed like everyone was peaking pretty quickly and everyone began to get that familiar mdma glow. Around 11 pm, still feeling the effects of the mdma very strong, I began to feel the foxy start to kick in, mostly in terms of CEV's as well as increased tactile feelings, even on top of mdma I could feel a difference. From past trip reports on mdma taken nasally it seemed to indicate that you began to peak quickly, but you would also begin to come down much faster. I feel that the foxy allowed the relatively small amount of mdma to keep us feeling the 'peak' much longer, instead of a quick up and down.
I would compare the combination of the two to being equal to or greater than a normal dose of mdma taken orally. About 3.5 hours after the Foxy and mdma were taken I finally began to feel the effects start to wear off, it seemed to me like the whole 'trip' had been a peak instead of the usual come up-->peak-->come down. At this point ~200 mg of ketamine was divided up among the four of us and each of us took ~50 mg nasally. Almost immediately, as ketamine usually does, the effects of mdma were quickly brought back up, as well as an increase in the usual ketamine CEV's, most likely due to the Foxy. This combination led to amazing CEV's, as well as an amazing physical sensation. Similar to the peak of earlier, yet even more amazing due to the increase in visual stimulation.
At one point each of us was holding hands in a circle and with eyes closed it was hard to distinguish where your hands ended and the persons next to you began, our group became more of a unified body than four seperate ones. We decided to move into the darkness of the bathroom, hey it didn't seem so strange at the time :-), and was we all sat on the floor and turned the lights off, the bathroom was turned into what could best be described as the Milky Way. Colored stars and trails of light were flying all around my head, and everyone was again with hands together feeling as though we had joined into one.
At around 5 am the effects of the drugs had dropped to minimal levels and it was finally time to get some sleep.
I would have to rate this experience as one of the most enjoyable, it seemed like everything matched in perferct harmony and this is an experience that I will definately be trying again.

word LMemGetChunkSize( optr chunk); /* optr of subject chunk */
This routine returns the size (in bytes) of a chunk in an LMem heap. Since LMem chunks are dword-aligned, the chunk's size may be slightly larger than the size specified when it was allocated. The routine is guaranteed not to compact or resize the heap; thus, all pointers within the block remain valid.
Be Sure To: Lock the block on the global heap (unless it is fixed).
Include: lmem.h
See Also: LMemGetChunkSizeHandles()
.
word Routine( MemHandle mh, /* Handle of LMem heap */ ChunkHandle chunk); /* Handle of chunk in question */
This routine is just like
LMemGetChunkSize()
above, except that the chunk is specified by its global and chunk handles (instead of by an optr).
Be Sure To: Lock the block on the global heap (unless it is fixed).
Include: lmem.h
See Also: LMemGetChunkSize()
.
void LMemInitHeap( MemHandle mh, /* Handle of (locked or fixed) * block which will contain heap */
LMemType type, /* Type of heap to create */ LocalMemoryFlags flags, /* Record of LocalMemoryFlags */ word lmemOffset, /* Offset of first chunk in heap */ word numHandles, /* Size of starter handle table */ word freeSpace); /* Size of first free chunk * created */
This routine creates an LMem heap in a global memory block. The block must be locked or fixed in memory. The routine initializes the
LMemBlockHeader
, creates a handle table, allocates a single free chunk, and turns on the HF_LMEM flag for the block. The block will be reallocated if necessary to make room for the heap. The routine takes six arguments:
mh
type
LMemType
enumerated type, specifying the kind of block to create. For most applications, this will be LMEM_TYPE_GENERAL.
flags
LocalMemoryFlags
, specifying certain properties of the heap. Most applications will pass a null record.
lmemOffset
LMemBlockHeader
structure which begins every heap block. Any space between the
LMemBlockHeader
and the heap is left untouched by all LMem routines. Usually you can just pass sizeof(
LMemBlockHeader
) as this argument, or sizeof(
ObjLMemBlockHeader
) for object blocks.
numHandles
freeSpace
To destroy an LMem heap, call
MemFree()
to free the block containing the heap.
Structures: There are two special data types used by this routine:
LMemType
and
LocalMemoryFlags
.
LMem heaps are created for many different purposes. Some of these purposes require the heap to have special functionality. For this reason, you must pass a member of the
LMemType
enumerated type to specify the kind of heap to create. The following types can be used; other types exist but should not be used with
LMemInitHeap()
.
When an LMem heap is created, you must pass a record of flags to
LMemInitHeap()
to indicate how the heap should be treated. Most of the
LocalMemoryFlags
are only passed by system routines; the flags available for this routine are: LMF_HAS_FLAGS, LMF_DETACHABLE, LMF_NO_ENLARGE, LMF_RETURN_ERRORS. The flags can be read by examining the
LMemBlockHeader
structure at the beginning of the block. Ordinarily, general LMem heaps will have all flags cleared.
Tips and Tricks: If you want a fixed data space after the header, declare a structure whose first element is an
LMemBlockHeader
and whose other fields are for the data you will store in the fixed data space. Pass the size of this structure as the
LMemOffset
argument. You can now access the fixed data area by using the fields of the structure.
Be Sure To: Pass an offset at least as large as
sizeof(LMemBlockHeader)
. If you pass an offset that is too small, the results are undefined. Lock the block on the global heap before calling this routine (unless the block is fixed).
Warnings: The block may be relocated, if its initial size is too small to accommodate the heap. This is true even for fixed blocks. If the flag LMF_NO_ENLARGE is set, the block will never be relocated; however, you must make sure it starts out large enough to accommodate the entire heap.

void LMemInsertAt( optr chunk, /* optr of chunk to resize */ word insertOffset, /* Offset within chunk of first byte * to be added */
word insertCount); /* # of bytes to add */
This routine inserts space in the middle of a chunk and zero-initializes the new space. The first new byte will be at the specified offset within the chunk.
Be Sure To: Lock the block on the global heap (unless it is fixed). Make sure the offset is within the specified chunk.
Warnings: This routine may resize or compact the heap; thus, all pointers to data within the block are invalidated.
You must pass an
insertOffset
that is actually within the chunk; if the offset is out-of-bounds, results are undefined.
Include: lmem.h
See Also: LMemReAlloc()
,
LMemDeleteAt()
,
LMemInsertAtHandles()
.
void LMemInsertAtHandles( MemHandle mh, /* Handle of LMem heap */ ChunkHandle chunk, /* Chunk to resize */ word insertOffset, /* Offset within chunk of first byte * to be added */
word insertCount); /* # of bytes to add */
This routine is just like
LMemInsertAt()
above, except that the chunk is specified by its global and chunk handles (instead of by an optr).
Be Sure To: Lock the block on the global heap (unless it is fixed). Make sure the offset is within the specified chunk.
Warnings: This routine may resize or compact the heap; thus, all pointers to data within the block are invalidated.

A node is the main service provider in the StreamOnTheFly network. It is basically a digital library, enhanced by streaming and other radio-centered functionalities. A node:
Nodes are transparently organized into a etwork. All nodes have metadata about all radio shows and stations in the network. Nodes communicate with each other to keep their local database up-to-date.
A station is archived at a single node, while it is searchable and browseable
by all nodes in the network. Each station has admins and editors. Admins may
change logos and jingles and manage all data, while editors can upload shows
and manage their own data.
more Infos about the stations here
For each radio show a set of metadata is required from the editors (title, keywords, length, etc.). The set of metadata elements is to be agreed within the radio community. A recommendation for XML-based storage and exchange of these metadata has also been prepared, see SOMA and XBMF.
Portals are loosely coupled with nodes. A portal can embed radio shows manually or automatically into its content. Streaming of these shows is done by the node, and feedback about the show is propagated back to the node. You can try out all of these tools at our demo site.
The Interface of StreamOnTheFly is devided into four sections.
The Header: In the top area of the interface, SOTF provides
you with the possibility to change the interface language. This setting does
not change the content language itself. It just changes the wording in the interface.
Right now one can choose between English, French, Hungarian, and German.
The Main Menu: Below this section you find the main menu of SOTF. Depending on your permissions, you get different menu items. (The possible menu items and their functions are described below.)
Left Section: This section is separated into 3 boxes: Login/Personal, Statistics about the node network, My Playlist (if you created one), and the contact data of the running node.
Middle Section: In this area SOTF shows you the actual content in a listing. You will see the last 10 entries of content.
Right Section: Like the left part, the right area is divided into boxes: first, you find a shortcut to the complex search engine; in the second box you can choose between the stations connected to the node network to get their content only. In the last box, SOTF displays the topic ontology and shows you a number of programmes related to the topic.
Abb.: The SOTF main interface
SOTF offers all users free registration for personalized features in the node network. To reach the registration interface, click the 'register' link below the login section (left) in the main interface. You will have to provide some basic information:
|
Abb: Registration Form |
The 'preferences' section is used for authenticated users to change their personal settings. It offers the same options as the registration form. Just click the 'Preferences' item in the main menu to access this interface. |
In the right section of the main interface you will find a box marked “Search”. Enter your search keywords here and choose a language to qualify the search results. Of course you can also leave the language the way it is and search without restrictions. In the image below you see the results of an easy search for the keyword 'tabuk':
Abb:Easy search results
Inside the search results interface you can redefine your queries by displaying the keywords you used. The results are displayed in pages with 10 items each. You can switch between the pages in both directions.
The box marked as “Stations” is responsible for the station search in the SOTF network. Choose a station, and for a result you will get all data about this station, the provided series, and all programmes related to this station. As usual, the result items are displayed in pages with 10 items.
SOTF provides a general ontology to categorise and organise programmes. For
a fast search on topics you can just click on one of the main-topics in the
right section of the main interface. The number in brackets states the amount
of programmes related to one of the chosen sub-topics. If you mouseclick on
one of the main topics listed in this box, you will get an interface with the
sub-topics and the programmes directly related to the main topic. The interface
creates a frameset to display the results and the available topics in one.
Abb:Results from Topic Search
In the left section of the interface you see the entire listing of topics currently available. At the top end of this listing you can choose the topics you want. Click the [x] to switch back to frameless view. In the right section you see the main topic you have chosen and all sub-topics related to it. In brackets you see the number of programmes associated with this sub-topic. Click on an entry to get a list of relevant programmes.
You access the advanced search engine by a mouseclick on “search”
in the main menu. This interface provides you with a way to create a complex
SQL (structured query language) statement to run it against the node network.
You can redefine, store, and manage all the queries you created.
This is the most complex part of the SOTF interface, and it contains a lot
of technical terms. However, it should be easy to go through this page if you
are generally familiar with the terminology, syntax, and basic functions of
SQL.
In the first part you see the actual query for this search. You can add and
remove directives using the '+' and the '-' button. The search displayed in
this example would do the following:
First, it would collect all programmes related to the genre 'Music'. The next
statement is connected to this result and adds a new clause using 'AND'. There
are two ways to connect the statements: 'AND' and 'OR'. The connector AND would
mean that both clauses needs to be true. OR would mean that any one of the connected
statements needs to be true. Next in the example is the entry date. As you see,
there are two statements under this name without connector. In the SOTF interface,
OR is not displayed! The search would include all items with an entry date "2004-07-17"
or "2004-07-22". In addition, the abstract of the item needs to contain
the keywords 'interview' and 'tarbuk'. At the end of the query, one would get
a result including all programmes where this query has "true" for
a result.
| Add term to the query | |
| The first (left) box is used to add a new term to the query or to create a new query. The terms AND and OR are the logical connectors between your statements. Choose the field you want to search and add it to your query using the AND or OR statement. | |
| Run query | |
| In the second (middle) box you can set choose two of the available terms by which to sort the results. Desc stands for "descending". The default sorting order is ascending. | |
| Manage your queries | |
| In the third (right) box you can manage your queries. You can save the query by a given name and reload it later. You can set a query as default to get the results displayed when you return to the node network. |
As we have seen, you can access the programmes by different ways. You can search using different search engines or you can just click on the programme items on the start page. In the interface of a programme you get all the meta-information, some additional data such as images, documents, and links, and the actual content itself. Here you can also upload the programme to your personal SOTF portal or add it to your playlist. You can also access feedback and statistics relevant to the programme. Most of this interface should be self-explanatory.
This is the content section of a programme. SOTF offers different quality levels on all programmes (depending on configuration). You can download the files or directly add them to the playlist of your mp3/ogg player. Depending on the configuration, the node creates mp3 or/and ogg files. In the listing you see the quality level, the type, and the duration of the file.
This is the last part in the programme interface. You see the feedback and statistics about the files. You can rate this programme, put it into your playlist and/or upload the programme to your portal.
Abb: Feedbacks and Statistics
This feature is very useful for users who want to listen to several audio files at once. It is only available to registered users. As we have seen in the programme interface, you can add programmes to your playlist. You get the results in the left section of the main interface.
Abb: My Playlist
You will find the main information about the programmes in your playlist. The interface provides you with links to the programme interface. We you click the speaker symbol on the right, your local mp3 player should play the sound (depending on your local settings). You can select several items and use the button 'play selected' to send all the files to your player. Also, you can send the selected items to your portal (if you have created one). You can change the order of your playlist items using the 'Change Order' button. It offers you a popup window in which you can move the items up and down according to your needs.
SOTF offers RSS Feeds and PODCAST structures for all content items and lists.
Just click on the link in the top right area of the interface. You can use this
feature to connect the SOTF node with other software such as RSS readers and
applications which are able to use RSS Feeds.
A special case of RSS is the PODCAST feature. This makes it possible to connect
SOTF series and programmes to the podcast network. Just click on the respective
links to get the RSS Feeds returned in your browser. You can use this links
for usage in other applications.
The Station is connected to a single node. Since SOTF is a node network, one
can browse and search all content coming from a certain station through all
other nodes in the network. A station has administrators and editors. Administrators
are able to edit metadata, upload logos and administrate all programmes of the
station. The editors are responsible for the programmes and are able to edit/upload
data for programmes.
The content of a station generally is structured in programmes and series. A
series (in these terms) is a format for programmes with changing but similar
content, usually broadcast at a specific time each day or week. A series links
individual programmes. (The format is defined by the broadcasting stations themselves
and must therefore not fit this description exactly). The actual programmes
in a series are the broadcastings (including audio files).
Click on 'Stations' in the main menu to get a list of all stations connected
to the node network. In the top section of this interface you can change the
order of the displayed stations and set filters on languages. Apart from these
possibilities you find the paging buttons. As usual, SOTF returns you 10 items
per page. You can scroll through the pages using this buttons.
In the result list you get a list of series connected to this station together
with some meta-information. The number in brackets states the number of programmes
included. Below the series you get the list of programmes. Again, you get ten
items displayed per page – please browse through the pages to get a full
overview.
Click on 'Topics' in the main menu to get a full list of topics and their related
programmes.
Topics in SOTF are a sort of ontology to structure programmes by their content.
There are two subject trees available: 'SOTF general topic tree' and 'SOMA metadata
version 1'.
As we have already seen in the search section of this document, you get a split
interface. In the left section you see the topic tree with all sub-topics and
the number of related programmes. In the right part you get a list of sub-topics.
When you click the sub-topics, SOTF returns you a list of related programmes.
how to search for topics
In the Editor´s Console station editors can upload files per FTP or HTTP, and add appropriate metadata.
UPLOAD VIA FTP:
Much faster than HTTP - Upload, but needs an extra client, like SmartFTP (download). Another advantage is the resumability of uploads.
To access your personal SOTF directory, use the URL of your node and type in your personal access data in the FTP client.
UPLOAD VIA HTTP: (use link "Manage your files")
Comfortable web interface for adding and deleting files (no extra software required), but may cause problems when transferring larger files.

Functions to calculate the relative crystallinity of starch by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). Starch is biosynthesized by plants in the form of granules semicrystalline. For XRD, the relative crystallinity is obtained by separating the crystalline peaks from the amorphous scattering region. For FTIR, the relative crystallinity is achieved by setting of a Gaussian holocrystalline-peak in the 800-1300 cm-1 region of FTIR spectrum of starch which is divided into amorphous region and crystalline region. The relative crystallinity of native starch granules varies from 14 of 45 percent. This package was supported by FONDECYT 3150630 and CIPA Conicyt-Regional R08C1002 is gratefully acknowledged.
