Got an Hour to Spare?
Running for an hour has a unique appeal to a distance runner. To run for a minute is a desperate sprint, to run
for a day is an extreme test of endurance. Running for just sixty minutes is testing, yet achievable without serious
discomfort. It is this simplicity that made the Hour one of the earliest recognized running events. The history
of the Hour run disappears back into the distant mists of time, its early practitioners are legendary.
The first hour runner, whose name has been preserved, was Edward or Edmund Preston, a Leeds butcher. His usual
racing distance was apparently ten or twelve miles/16-19.3km, the former event he easily ran in less than an hour.
He flourished in the 1690's. In those days betting was the life-blood of the sport. Thus when Preston met the King's
footman in a running match, five or six thousand people came to watch and bet. Many wagered all they had. Preston
won and whole families were ruined. Some after wagering their horses on the result were forced to walk home.
Shortly after this race Preston was sent to London by a member of the nobility. There he stayed under a false name,
claiming to be a miller. The stakes in these races were so high that Preston's noble patron arranged for him to
be disfigured so that no one would recognise him (this was centuries before anesthetics of course). The noble lord
then wagered that his 'miller' would beat another famous runner. This runner and his backers, eager to win the
lord's money, readily agreed to race this unknown. Preston won of course, gaining many thousands of pounds for
his patron.
Over the next fifty years such distance races became better recorded by the developing press. Standards improved
but at a cost. In 1753 Woolley Morris ran 10 miles in 54:30, a new world best, only to burst a blood vessel and
die within the hour. A few years earlier a well known Welsh runner, Guto Nythbran was reputed to run the 10.4 miles/16.7km
from Newport to Bedwas in several minutes under the hour. He collapsed and died soon after the race, following
an over enthusiastic slap on the back from an admirer. British distance runners learnt to pace themselves over
the following century, but perhaps fearful of the fate of Morris and Nythbran, never approached their performances.
The Hour eventually began to develop once more in the 1840's, this time across the Atlantic. In October 1844 1,000
dollars was offered to the runner covering the greatest distance within an hour. The race was to be held on the
Beacon course, at Hoboken, New Jersey (the course was a mile loop). A crowd estimated at 30,000 flooded the course,
some breaking down the fences and getting in free.
The actual course was thronged with spectators and it took an hour before it could be cleared. Thousands of dollars
were wagered. The prize had attracted several runners from Britain, and amongst the Americans were a number of
native Americans. An Englishman, Greenhalgh, led through 10 miles in 57:01.5 but he couldn't resist the final surge
of American John Gildersleeve the winner, with a final distance of 10 miles 955 yards/16.966km. The obvious success
of this promotion encouraged others to put on similar races. British runners went over to compete in the States
on several occasions. One of the most successful was William Howitt, who ran under the name of William Jackson
for family reasons.
Back in England on the Hatfield turnpike, two miles from Barnet, Howitt met one of his arch rivals, William Sheppard.
The race was to decide who had the right to claim to be the Champion runner of England. Crowds came from as far
away as Sheffield, Birmingham and Manchester. The course was far from easy. The road was a hilly one mile between
two milestones and the runners had to stop and turn at each milestone. The two men ran the first mile in 5:05,
and reached five miles in 26:17. Sheppard led at 10 miles in 53:35, the fastest time yet. At that point he collapsed.
Howitt pushed on to become the first man to cover 11 miles in the hour, 11 miles 40 yards/17.739km according to
one account.
By the 1850's the success of such races meant there were a dozen or so running tracks established in the major
industrial cities. The railways made for the easy transportation of large crowds, thus making such tracks profitable.
The owners of the tracks were often the landlords of nearby or adjoining public houses. The matches between two
or more runners would be made there, and the publican would act as stakeholder and referee. The tracks were not
much like modern ones, often irregular in shape and size and sometimes lined with trees that obstructed the view
of spectators.
In 1861 this English running scene was shaken by a challenger from America, Louis Bennett, better known as 'Deerfoot'.
Deerfoot was a member of the Eagle tribe of the Seneca nation. His appearance caused a sensation. He ran in a beech-clout,
with moccasins on his feet. He was defeated in his first race, hardly surprising after being cooped up on a long
trans-Atlantic crossing. Thereafter he produced a number of fine performances, disrupting the pace of the English
runners with sudden surges. He was a popular attraction and even the ladies came to watch him. This was most unusual
as running tracks were considered to be brutal rough places. His naked chest and short beech-clout was regarded
too revealing for such genteel spectators, and so he ran in a guernsey and long drawers.
In his last race on British soil Deerfoot was matched against William Lang, the latter receiving a handicap of
100 yards. It took the Seneca Indian ten miles to get on even terms with Lang, his time being 51:26, the fastest
yet achieved. Lang won by half a yard, but Deerfoot, having started from scratch, achieved a great hour record
of 11 miles 970 yards/18,589km. Deerfoot had done much to popularise distance running and had even performed in
front of the Prince of Wales.
In the following decade the amateurs began to emulate the professional feats. The greatest of these was Walter
George. He never succeeded in surpassing Deerfoot's mark in competition. However, in those days time trials were
an accepted part of training. In such a trial George claimed to have run 10 miles in 49:29 and 59:29 for 12 miles.
In the 1890's three of the top amateur runners were permanently suspended for receiving appearance money. In paced
attempts as professionals two of these, Fred Bacon and Harry Watkins, succeeded in surpassing Deerfoot's mark.
The first amateur to do so was Alf Shrubb, a remarkable athlete. Such was his superiority over his opponents that
he would build up a big lead, then slow to a jog to allow them to catch up before he spurted away again.  Shrubb dominated British running from the mile to 10 miles, but his greatest run was an Hour
run at Ibrox Park, Glasgow in 1904. He passed three miles in 14:45.8, six miles in 29:50.4, 10 miles in 50:40.6
and recorded 11 miles 1137 yards/18.742km in the Hour. Shrubb never went to the Olympics, Britain did not send
a team to the St.Louis Games.
The first Olympic medallist to hold the Hour record was Jean Bouin of France, who lost by a yard to Hannes Kolehmainen
of Finland in the 1912 Games 5,000 metres. Bouin, after falling short in an attempt on the Hour record in 1911,
ran 11 miles 1442 yards/19,021km in 1913 in Stockholm in 1913. Sadly his great career was to be cut short by his
death in the First World War.
Distance running in the twenties and thirties was dominated by the Flying Finns. The greatest of these was Paavo
Nurmi, winner of six individual Olympic gold medals. After setting numerous world records at events from 1500 metres
upwards, he turned his attention to the classic Hour event in 1928. He had already taken Bouin's 10,000 metres
world record seven years before, now he added a further 200 yards to the Hour run to remove the Frenchman finally
from the record book. It was another holder of the 10km world record, yet another Finn Viljo Heino, who pushed
the Hour best past the 12 miles in 1945. But the days of Finnish dominance were numbered.
In the fifties distance running was transformed by the legendary Emil Zatopek, who must be rated the greatest 10,000
metre runner ever. He ran 60 10kms on the track in his career and only lost seven (including six of the last thirteen
he ran). Understandably, like his predecessors as record holder at 10,000 metres he was attracted to the challenge
of the Hour. On September 15th 1951 he added 240 yards to Heino's record. Dissatisfied with that, a fortnight later
he became the first man to run 20km in the Hour. What is even more remarkable, at that time only five men had beaten
the half hour for 10km!
Zatopek's record was to survive for nearly twelve years. The record breaker was to be the first non-European to
hold the world best since Deerfoot a hundred years earlier. In 1963 on the Lovelock track Auckland, twelve runners,
six New Zealanders and six Japanese, contested the race. Over the final few miles the race was between Bill Baillie,
the iron man of New Zealand and Kokichi Tsuburaya. Baillie finished ahead but the Japanese runner also broke Zatopek's
record. Tsuburaya would suffer another blow at the Tokyo Olympics, losing the silver medal, when overtaken by
Basil Heatley on the track at the close of the marathon.
Baillie's record didn't last long. In 1965 another of the alltime greats of distance running claimed it for Australia.
Ron Clarke had broken his own 10,000 metre record by 35 seconds earlier in the year. Back in Australia he broke
the Hour best to complete a set of world records for 3 miles, 5,000 metres, 6 miles, 10,000 metres, 10 miles and
20,000 metres. Only Nurmi had previously held all seven of those records and even he did not hold them simultaneously!
As has been revealed above, it has usually been the holder of the 10,000 metre world record who has gone on to
claim the Hour best. However, Clarke's successor was, in fact, one of the great steeplechasers and cross country
runners of his generation. Gaston Roelants of Belgium won the gold medal in that event in the Tokyo Olympics of
1964 and twice improved the world record. In 1966 he moved up in distance and added a whole lap of the Louvain
track to Clarke's old record for the Hour and then following the Munich Olympics added a further 120 metres. Only
Zatopek had improved the record by a greater margin.
It was at this point in time that the ladies came on to the scene in earnest. Way back in 1822 an unknown Scottish
woman had run 8 miles in the hour on the Edinburgh to Glasgow road in the depths of winter. The new pioneers were
influenced by the feminist movement of the early 1970's. Brenda Webb of the United States came close to 10 miles
in 1972, but it was Christa Vahlensieck of West Germany, three weeks after the world best for the marathon, who
pushed the best out to close to 10 1/2 miles in 1975. The Italian Silvana Cruciata dominated the the record from
1981 with 11 miles 416 yards/18.084km until Kenyan Tegla Lourope recorded the present world record with 18,340m/11
miles 696 yards set at Borgholzausen Germany in 1998.
Roelant's record was to be challenged by another runner from the low countries in 1975. Racing through 15km in
42:54.8 and 10 miles in 45:57.6 Jos Hermens of Holland misjudged his run and came up 45 yards short. A fortnight
later he moderated his strategy and improved on Roelant's mark by 130 metres. The following year, still not content
with his world record, he made another attempt. This time he ensured his place in history by becoming the first
man to run 13 miles in an hour.
Under the pressure of commercial road racing the Hour event began to disappear from the world distance running
scene. However, in 1990 at La Fleche in France a major Hour event was staged. Dionisio Castro of Portugal sensationally
missed out on a new Hour record by just one metre after breaking Hermen's 20,000 metre world record en route.
Arturo Barrios of Mexico was the latest of a long line of 10,000 metre world record holders to fix his eyes on
this ancient challenge. He prepared carefully for the race. After fifth places in two top class cross country races
he passed up the World Cross Country Championships in favour of the La Fleche race in 1991. Barrios passed 10,000
metres in 28:19.8 in second place and reached 15km in 42:34, the fastest time yet recorded on a track. He broke
the world 20km record with 56:55.6 before forcing his way to a new world Hour record of 21,101km/13 miles 196 yards.
Not only was Barrios the first man to run 21km in an hour, he also was the first man to cover the half marathon
distance within the hour on a non-aided course.
The La Fleche race seemed a brief attempt to revive the event. Looking at the world long running scene over the
past quarter of a century or so, the Hour event appears to have become a thing of the past, no longer relevant
to the distance runners of today.
One eminent athletic statistician remarked quite correctly that he had did not have personal bests for the Hour
by any significant number of the world's top 100/200 distance runners, yet 40 years ago, many in that group would
have run the event, almost as a matter of course.
However perhaps we are looking at the picture the wrong way round. Twenty-five-/thirty years ago the distance events
were dominated by European and Western runners. Part of that European running culture was the Hour event; it was
the way young runners learnt pace judgment, deemed as essential for a good distance runner. It was the way the
good class distance runner judged his fitness coming off of his winter training, or gave a closing flourish to
the season, as national records were targeted.
The present day picture is very different. In the 2002 world junior lists the Best European performance at 5000
metres and 10,000 metres appeared as footnotes below the main list dominated by Africans and the occasional Japanese.
Those European marks were by Mohammed Farah of GBR and Mohammed Bashir of Denmark, that would seem to reinforce
the idea that nowadays the leading Europeans are often originally from elsewhere.
Thus, perhaps the disappearance of the Hour etc from the world scene has less to do with the decline in interest
in the event and more to do with the decline in the standards in Western distance running. Even pace, once the
essential requirement of the distance runner, is perhaps seen as ineffective against the variable pace and surges
of African runners.
This is debatable. If, as has been claimed, the African dominance is due more to the `hungry fighter' syndrome,
that the Africans work much harder than their Western rivals, then surely mastery of even pace matched by self-belief
and a strong work ethic will bring western runners through in the later stages of the race. If runners run the
best race they can at the most even pace they can sustain they will optimize their performances. Following the
pace set by African runners merely plays into their hands.
But has the Hour race disappeared? An extensive search on the internet shows that the event is still alive and
kicking at the club level. In Germany every running club seems to hold an hour race a year, with half hour events
for younger or more senior runners. Some German clubs hold regular hour competitions adding the cumulative distances
together to decide the overall winner for the year.
In France, the progression of the event seems to be the half hour for the youngest runners, then the 45 minute
race and finally the Hour event. So the event still has a role at the club level.
In Italy, there is another variation on the event with 12 X 1 hour or 24 X 1 hour races being held regularly,
with clubs matched against each other. The distances achieved by the individual runners are published at the finish
of the event along with the total distance covered.
In the United States, running clubs also include the Hour event in their yearly schedules. The Hudson Mohawk
Road Runners Club in Albany, New York, for example have had an annual Hour race since 1972, with only one break
during that period. Some British clubs have a similar history with Hour events going back twenty or more years.
Bearing in mind the previous comment that the `disappearance' of the Hour event fits in with the decline in Western
male distance running, an analysis of the women's event does not show the same situation.
The top of the women's list is dominated by marks set in the 1990s, and the present century. A recent mark is
the Latvian record set by Jelena Prokopcuka in Riga on the 30th of August 2003 of 17,776 metres. It is
true that Tegla Loroupe of Kenya has set the recent world records, and that Japanese runners also figure prominently,
but in women's distance running, European and other Western nations are still major contenders, and this is reflected
in the list.
If even pace running is the most cost effective way of running distance, then it is arguable that even African
runners would benefit from learning this skill. Perhaps the Hour race, arguably the most precise tool for learning
and practicing this skill, should be considered for a major revival.
An aim which has been discussed in the media is the two hour marathon. With the best mark standing at 2:04:55,
the target looks attainable to the general public. However at present, the world bests for the Half Marathon are
still only comparable with the Hour mark of Barrios set thirteen years ago when the marathon best was 2:06:50.
The Hour event perhaps offers a way to move closer to the Two Hour barrier.
When Barrios set the current world mark of 21,101km, he held the then world 10,000 metre record at 27.08.23. The
World record for the 10,000 is now 26:20.31 by Kenenisa Bekele, nearly 48 seconds faster. Barrios went through
10,000 metres in the course of his Hour run in 28:19.8, just over 10 second slower than his world record. This
perhaps suggests a 20km split of 53 minutes for Bekele is not impossible.
Barrios covered 1.1km in the last three minutes of his Hour run, doubling that to 2.2km gives a conservative estimate
of 22.2km, not far from a 14 mile/22.5 km target.
Admittedly the trend is now towards elite marathons being run using negative splits, but is this a competitive
strategy, rather than an optimum method of achieving the fastest time? To be comfortable at covering the half
distance in close to the hour, runners need to experience covering that sort of distance at a slightly faster speed
and then pushing on to see how far they can go. The Hour event offers that opportunity, which the half marathon
does not.

3D Scanning and Printing
3D Printing
For my assignment to 3D print a small object (that can’t be made subtractively), I decided to solve a minor problem in my lab. With the table router that we have which primarily rounds over edges from pieces milled on our ShopBot, we noticed we didn’t have the right size hose to hook it up to our dust collection. And even though we could have simply bought a hose adapter, what better way to involve our lab than to fabricate the part ourselves! Pictures below show step by step on how it was created:
Software: 123D Design / CURA
3D Printer: Ultimaker 2
Material: PLA Plastic
It is important to note that this design only benifits from being 3D printed, as oppose to being made subtractively. The way that I designed it to be hollow inside, with certain overhangs makes it impossible to be subtracted from a larger stock no matter which way you orient the piece.
Finished Product:
Testing the 3D Printer
For the second part of the assignment used 123D Design to make seven layers that have specific sizes for teasting material thicknesses:
1 mm
0.75 mm
0.50 mm
0.25 mm
0.15 mm
0.10 mm
0.05 mm
I also labeled each layer using the text tool and then changing the depth accordingly for each layer. I then saved the STL file (File Link Below) for CURA and once opened in CURA I exported the file in Gcode and began printing on the Ultimaker 2+.
When the print was finished, the results were off from the original design. The depth was close on the first few layers but not accurate. The text also did not print at all. I believe that my design was too small to be printed, which is why it lost the accuracy and detail. I believe that if I were to scale up the design making the layers with a greater depth the final product would be more accurate to the original design.
3D Scanning
While instructing a class in my lab, I decided to take a volenteer student to be my guinea pig on this assignment. He was more than willing and excited to have his own face scanned to then someday be printed by our Ultimakers. Below are the steps I took to generate a 3D scan:
Scanner/Software: Cubify Sense Handheld 3D Scanner
Reflections
3D Printing - I find the technology provided in my lab regarding 3D printer (Ultimaker 2 & CURA) to be highly reliable in 3D production. The raft and support features on the printer make most designs possible with a limitation of roughly 8”x8”x8”.
3D Scanning - By using the 3D Sence handheld scanner, I found it to be quite difficult to generate a perfect scan without errors or a risk of getting thrown off sight. It was only after training myself to have a steady hand, along with an assistant to hold the cord made it okay to work with. I would also HIGHLY recommend choosing a wireless device if the company ever offered it.

The naming system of the Akan people is as distinct as that which elders in Togo (the Ewe people), the Ga people, Benin (the Fon people), and the African diaspora pass on to toddlers.
The Akan people use the Kwa language group’s system of timekeeping, which is based on a six-day week (‘nnanson‘), with the seventh day inclusive.New born babys are given this names after their birth days.
Aside the main day names, there are variants and flexibly diverse adjustments.
We decided to use the famous and most unbiased naming variation to ensure simple memorization

 The backpack with supplies that David gave you really saved your life during those times. You have no idea if your father ever found out that David helped you escape your fate, but you hope not. You wish every day that your mother, sisters, Susan, and David are fine, that your father hasn't retaliated against your loved ones.
You haven't decided what to do now. Your money, and the money David gave you, are all out. You spent it all on the bus tickets out from the country. You don't have any education, you don't know how to read or write. There is probably not any chance for you to move to a Western country, and go to school, but maybe you could get there and get a job. If you move to a Western country, you might be able to get a decent life. However, you are aware that there are racism and segregation. You don't know if you want to face that on your own, without any friends or family, without any support. But that raises another question, how are you going to support yourself if you stay here? Almost all regions of Africa is dominated by males, which is one reason that you left. Women aren't allowed to work, with very few exceptions, aren't allowed to own property. How are you going to survive if you stay on the continent?
You're wandering down the street, looking for a place to stay, you're still dressed like a boy and is mostly ignored. It is starting to get dark, and you haven't found any 'safe' place to spend the night at. You head down an alley to your left, immediately you notice that something is strange. You eye the surroundings warily, you see the shadows of figures further down, but you can't see them clearly.
You carefully step forward. Suddenly, the smell hits you - a mix of urine, sweat, and something rotten.  You move deeper into the alley, you can now make out the shadowy figures. They are couples, men and women, but also men and men. They're kissing and half naked, with horror you realize that they are having sex. You gasp and take a step back.
"Hello there, darling." a young woman drawls.
She looks like she's about your age, her face is heavily covered with makeup. She is very pretty, she is dressed in a tight red dress, it has a deep cleavage showing off her breasts, and the dress ends mid thigh leaving her long legs bare. She looks surprised at your age, but she recovers quickly.
"I can teach you a thing or two, boy."
You recoil from her touch, like she had given you an electric shock.
"You..." she says, squinting at your face, "You're not a boy."
"I'm not." you whisper in confirmation.
"Well, I can still show you a good time." she smiles coyly again, "If you can pay?"
"I...I don't have any money." you stammer, "But, I'm not here for you. That."
You indicate to the couples behind the girl.  You're lucky that it's dark right now, and nobody can see the crimson color your cheeks have taken.
"What are you here for then?" her accent and posture changes immediately.
"I'm looking for a place to spend the night."
"Go home, kid."
"I don't have a home." you whisper.

You nod in answer.
"Why? Didn't like the posh life?" she asks condescendingly.

"You don't know me." you say icily.
The girl laughs at you.
"Then tell me."
"I ran away, cause I didn't want to marry." you snap.
The girl's features softens, and she looks at you, genuinely for the first time.
"Come with me." she says and starts to walk away.
You hesistate for a moment.
"Come on." she says over her shoulder.
You follow her down the alley, she unlocks a door and steps in, locks the heavily bolted door behind her. Fear starts to fill your body, what if you're getting murdered? Or kidnapped? Or sold? You shouldn't have come here. The girl seems to sense the fear in you.
"Relax, I'm not going to hurt you." she says.
"My name's Banu."
"Rose." your name barely escapes your lips.
"That's a pretty name, how did you end up here?"
You tell Banu how you were to be married to an older man you've never met, and you didn't want to.   You tell her how you have run out of options, she then says something that makes your heart skip a beat:
"You could earn some money on the street before moving on."
"I..." you stutter, "I can't do that!"
"Why not?" Banu cocks an eyebrow at you, "It's not that hard. Most of the time it's over in a minute."
"But..." you protest.
Banu holds up one hand to make you be quiet and listen to her.
"If I have a horrible customer, I think about killing them. You know, to pass the time." she shrugs.
"It's not as bad as you think, and you make good money."
Banu continues to explain the ropes about prostitution in these parts of the city. She says it's fairly safe, and good money. You could probably work for a few months and then have enough for a ticket out of here, and enough money to start over in a Western country. There is only one problem though.
"I'm a virgin." you whisper.
Banu stops and stares at you for a second.
"How..." she opens her mouth, but shuts it again.
"That's great."
"Why?" you ask confused.
"A virgin is worth a lot of money."
You are taken aback by that statement. Banu tells you that you can earn more than enough money to get out of here, by selling your virginity. You don't know how to feel about this, it is sort of the thing you wanted to flee from.  Are you willing to sell the exact same thing for a ticket out of here? Or will you try to find another way to leave?

I have search all over the forums and github to try to find a sketch that can read from all CT and puls and 4 temperature. I have found some that include puls but they refer to dig2/irq0 and screw terminal 4. My card is labeled dig3/irq1 at screw terminal 4??? This EmonTx was bought i desember 2014.
Re: Need sketch for Emontx 3.4 for 4ct, puls and 4 temperature
See http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/6069
Re: Need sketch for Emontx 3.4 for 4ct, puls and 4 temperature
Thank you, but isnt that 3 phase? and can I use interupt 1 as it seems to be on screw 4 on my board?
Re: Need sketch for Emontx 3.4 for 4ct, puls and 4 temperature
Sorry, yes. I misread the title of your post and assumed you wanted three-phase.
Do you want a sketch that measures power continuously, or are discrete samples adequate? (You need "continuous" if you have a rapidly switched load such as an induction hob.)
The emonTx V3.4 does use Dig3 / IRQ1. The previous version, V3.2, used Dig2 / IRQ0 but that can be changed very easily in the sketch.
If you are happy with "discrete" samples (i.e. the power is sampled for 200 ms every 10 s), then you can use the standard sketch "emonTxV3_4_RFM12B_DiscreteSampling.ino" and add to it the pulse parts (and only the pulse parts - do NOT move anything else) from the emonTx V3 sketch "emonTx_V3_Pulse.ino". If you need help with that, ask (but no promises for when I would be able to do it).
However, if you need to use the "continuous" sketch, that will be a lot harder and you will probably need to enlist the help of Robin to incorporate the pulse part.
Re: Need sketch for Emontx 3.4 for 4ct, puls and 4 temperature
Thank you very much;) I will have a try this weekend.


Chapter 4 Missing Data, 1: Mechanisms and Single Imputation Methods
Almost all serious statistical analyses have to deal with missing data. Data values that are missing are indicated in R, and to R, by the symbol NA
.
4.1 A Toy Example
In the following tiny data set called sbp_example
, we have four variables for a set of 15 subjects. In addition to a subject id, we have:
- the treatment this subject received (A, B or C are the treatments),
- an indicator (1 = yes, 0 = no) of whether the subject has diabetes,
- the subject’s systolic blood pressure at baseline
- the subject’s systolic blood pressure after the application of the treatment
# create some temporary variables
subject <- 101:115
x1 <- c("A", "B", "C", "A", "C", "A", "A", NA, "B", "C", "A", "B", "C", "A", "B")
x2 <- c(1, 0, 0, 1, NA, 1, 0, 1, NA, 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, NA)
x3 <- c(120, 145, 150, NA, 155, NA, 135, NA, 115, 170, 150, 145, 140, 160, 135)
x4 <- c(105, 135, 150, 120, 135, 115, 160, 150, 130, 155, 140, 140, 150, 135, 120)
sbp_example <-
data.frame(subject, treat = x1, diabetes = x2,
sbp.before = x3, sbp.after = x4) %>%
tbl_df
rm(subject, x1, x2, x3, x4) # just cleaning up
sbp_example
# A tibble: 15 x 5
subject treat diabetes sbp.before sbp.after
<int> <fct> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
1 101 A 1.00 120 105
2 102 B 0 145 135
3 103 C 0 150 150
4 104 A 1.00 NA 120
5 105 C NA 155 135
6 106 A 1.00 NA 115
7 107 A 0 135 160
8 108 <NA> 1.00 NA 150
9 109 B NA 115 130
10 110 C 1.00 170 155
11 111 A 0 150 140
12 112 B 0 145 140
13 113 C 1.00 140 150
14 114 A 1.00 160 135
15 115 B NA 135 120
4.1.1 How many missing values do we have in each column?
colSums(is.na(sbp_example))
subject treat diabetes sbp.before sbp.after
0 1 3 3 0
We are missing one treat
, 3 diabetes
and 3 sbp.before
values.
4.1.2 What is the pattern of missing data?
mice::md.pattern(sbp_example)
subject sbp.after treat diabetes sbp.before
9 1 1 1 1 1 0
3 1 1 1 0 1 1
2 1 1 1 1 0 1
1 1 1 0 1 0 2
0 0 1 3 3 7
We have nine subjects with complete data, three subjects with missing diabetes
(only), two subjects with missing sbp.before
(only), and 1 subject with missing treat
and sbp.before
.
4.1.3 How can we identify the subjects with missing data?
sbp_example %>% filter(!complete.cases(.))
# A tibble: 6 x 5
subject treat diabetes sbp.before sbp.after
<int> <fct> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
1 104 A 1.00 NA 120
2 105 C NA 155 135
3 106 A 1.00 NA 115
4 108 <NA> 1.00 NA 150
5 109 B NA 115 130
6 115 B NA 135 120
4.2 Missing-data mechanisms
My source for this description of mechanisms is Chapter 25 of Gelman and Hill (2007), and that chapter is available at this link.
- MCAR = Missingness completely at random. A variable is missing completely at random if the probability of missingness is the same for all units, for example, if for each subject, we decide whether to collect the
diabetes
status by rolling a die and refusing to answer if a “6” shows up. If data are missing completely at random, then throwing out cases with missing data does not bias your inferences. - Missingness that depends only on observed predictors. A more general assumption, called missing at random or MAR, is that the probability a variable is missing depends only on available information. Here, we would have to be willing to assume that the probability of nonresponse to
diabetes
depends only on the other, fully recorded variables in the data. It is often reasonable to model this process as a logistic regression, where the outcome variable equals 1 for observed cases and 0 for missing. When an outcome variable is missing at random, it is acceptable to exclude the missing cases (that is, to treat them as NA), as long as the regression controls for all the variables that affect the probability of missingness. - Missingness that depends on unobserved predictors. Missingness is no longer “at random” if it depends on information that has not been recorded and this information also predicts the missing values. If a particular treatment causes discomfort, a patient is more likely to drop out of the study. This missingness is not at random (unless “discomfort” is measured and observed for all patients). If missingness is not at random, it must be explicitly modeled, or else you must accept some bias in your inferences.
- Missingness that depends on the missing value itself. Finally, a particularly difficult situation arises when the probability of missingness depends on the (potentially missing) variable itself. For example, suppose that people with higher earnings are less likely to reveal them.
Essentially, situations 3 and 4 are referred to collectively as non-random missingness, and cause more trouble for us than 1 and 2.
4.3 Options for Dealing with Missingness
There are several available methods for dealing with missing data that are MCAR or MAR, but they basically boil down to:
- Complete Case (or Available Case) analyses
- Single Imputation
- Multiple Imputation
4.4 Complete Case (and Available Case) analyses
In Complete Case analyses, rows containing NA values are omitted from the data before analyses commence. This is the default approach for many statistical software packages, and may introduce unpredictable bias and fail to include some useful, often hard-won information.
- A complete case analysis can be appropriate when the number of missing observations is not large, and the missing pattern is either MCAR (missing completely at random) or MAR (missing at random.)
- Two problems arise with complete-case analysis:
- If the units with missing values differ systematically from the completely observed cases, this could bias the complete-case analysis.
- If many variables are included in a model, there may be very few complete cases, so that most of the data would be discarded for the sake of a straightforward analysis.
- A related approach is available-case analysis where different aspects of a problem are studied with different subsets of the data, perhaps identified on the basis of what is missing in them.
4.5 Single Imputation
In single imputation analyses, NA values are estimated/replaced one time with one particular data value for the purpose of obtaining more complete samples, at the expense of creating some potential bias in the eventual conclusions or obtaining slightly less accurate estimates than would be available if there were no missing values in the data.
- A single imputation can be just a replacement with the mean or median (for a quantity) or the mode (for a categorical variable.) However, such an approach, though easy to understand, underestimates variance and ignores the relationship of missing values to other variables.
- Single imputation can also be done using a variety of models to try to capture information about the NA values that are available in other variables within the data set.
- The
simputation
package can help us execute single imputations using a wide variety of techniques, within the pipe approach used by thetidyverse
. Another approach I have used in the past is themice
package, which can also perform single imputations.
4.6 Multiple Imputation
Multiple imputation, where NA values are repeatedly estimated/replaced with multiple data values, for the purpose of obtaining mode complete samples and capturing details of the variation inherent in the fact that the data have missingness, so as to obtain more accurate estimates than are possible with single imputation.
- We’ll postpone the discussion of multiple imputation for a while.
4.7 Building a Complete Case Analysis
We can drop all of the missing values from a data set with drop_na
or with na.omit
or by filtering for complete.cases
. Any of these approaches produces the same result - a new data set with 9 rows (after dropping the six subjects with any NA values) and 5 columns.
cc.1 <- na.omit(sbp_example)
cc.2 <- sbp_example %>% drop_na
cc.3 <- sbp_example %>% filter(complete.cases(.))
4.8 Single Imputation with the Mean or Mode
The most straightforward approach to single imputation is to impute a single summary of the variable, such as the mean, median or mode.
skim(sbp_example)
Skim summary statistics
n obs: 15
n variables: 5
Variable type: factor
variable missing complete n n_unique top_counts ordered
treat 1 14 15 3 A: 6, B: 4, C: 4, NA: 1 FALSE
Variable type: integer
variable missing complete n mean sd p0 p25 median p75 p100
subject 0 15 15 108 4.47 101 104.5 108 111.5 115
Variable type: numeric
variable missing complete n mean sd p0 p25 median p75 p100
diabetes 3 12 15 0.58 0.51 0 0 1 1 1
sbp.after 0 15 15 136 15.83 105 125 135 150 160
sbp.before 3 12 15 143.33 15.72 115 135 145 151.25 170
Here, suppose we decide to impute
sbp.before
with the mean (143.33) among non-missing values,diabetes
with its median (1) among non-missing values, andtreat
with its most common value, or mode (A)
si.1 <- sbp_example %>%
replace_na(list(sbp.before = 143.33,
diabetes = 1,
treat = "A"))
si.1
# A tibble: 15 x 5
subject treat diabetes sbp.before sbp.after
<int> <fct> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
1 101 A 1.00 120 105
2 102 B 0 145 135
3 103 C 0 150 150
4 104 A 1.00 143 120
5 105 C 1.00 155 135
6 106 A 1.00 143 115
7 107 A 0 135 160
8 108 A 1.00 143 150
9 109 B 1.00 115 130
10 110 C 1.00 170 155
11 111 A 0 150 140
12 112 B 0 145 140
13 113 C 1.00 140 150
14 114 A 1.00 160 135
15 115 B 1.00 135 120
We could accomplish the same thing with, for example:
si.2 <- sbp_example %>%
replace_na(list(sbp.before = mean(sbp_example$sbp.before, na.rm = TRUE),
diabetes = median(sbp_example$diabetes, na.rm = TRUE),
treat = "A"))
4.9 Doing Single Imputation with simputation
Single imputation is a potentially appropriate method when missingness can be assumed to be either completely at random (MCAR) or dependent only on observed predictors (MAR). We’ll use the simputation
package to accomplish it.
- The
simputation
vignette is available at https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/simputation/vignettes/intro.html - The
simputation
reference manual is available at https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/simputation/simputation.pdf
4.9.1 Mirroring Our Prior Approach (imputing means/medians/modes)
Suppose we want to mirror what we did above, simply impute the mean for sbp.before
and the median for diabetes
again.
si.3 <- sbp_example %>%
impute_lm(sbp.before ~ 1) %>%
impute_median(diabetes ~ 1) %>%
replace_na(list(treat = "A"))
si.3
# A tibble: 15 x 5
subject treat diabetes sbp.before sbp.after
* <int> <fct> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
1 101 A 1.00 120 105
2 102 B 0 145 135
3 103 C 0 150 150
4 104 A 1.00 143 120
5 105 C 1.00 155 135
6 106 A 1.00 143 115
7 107 A 0 135 160
8 108 A 1.00 143 150
9 109 B 1.00 115 130
10 110 C 1.00 170 155
11 111 A 0 150 140
12 112 B 0 145 140
13 113 C 1.00 140 150
14 114 A 1.00 160 135
15 115 B 1.00 135 120
4.9.2 Using a model to impute sbp.before
and diabetes
Suppose we wanted to use:
- a robust linear model to predict
sbp.before
missing values, on the basis ofsbp.after
anddiabetes
status, and - a predictive mean matching approach to predict
diabetes
status, on the basis ofsbp.after
, and - a decision tree approach to predict
treat
status, using all other variables in the data
set.seed(50001)
imp.4 <- sbp_example %>%
impute_rlm(sbp.before ~ sbp.after + diabetes) %>%
impute_pmm(diabetes ~ sbp.after) %>%
impute_cart(treat ~ .)
imp.4
# A tibble: 15 x 5
subject treat diabetes sbp.before sbp.after
* <int> <fct> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
1 101 A 1.00 120 105
2 102 B 0 145 135
3 103 C 0 150 150
4 104 A 1.00 139 120
5 105 C 1.00 155 135
6 106 A 1.00 136 115
7 107 A 0 135 160
8 108 A 1.00 155 150
9 109 B 1.00 115 130
10 110 C 1.00 170 155
11 111 A 0 150 140
12 112 B 0 145 140
13 113 C 1.00 140 150
14 114 A 1.00 160 135
15 115 B 1.00 135 120
Details on the many available methods in simputation
are provided in its manual. These include:
impute_cart
uses a Classification and Regression Tree approach for numerical or categorical data. There is also animpute_rf
command which uses Random Forests for imputation.impute_pmm
is one of several “hot deck” options for imputation, this one is predictive mean matching, which can be used with numeric data (only). Missing values are first imputed using a predictive model. Next, these predictions are replaced with the observed values which are nearest to the prediction. Other imputation options in this group include random hot deck, sequential hot deck and k-nearest neighbor imputation.impute_rlm
is one of several regression imputation methods, including linear models, robust linear models (which use what is called M-estimation to impute numerical variables) and lasso/elastic net/ridge regression models.
simputation
can also do EM-based multivariate imputation, and multivariate random forest imputation, as well as many other sorts of approaches.

@Ainsley Pahljina, in case you want to be able to run update-mathlib

Thank you!
update-mathlib

Ensure that your application can read data from existing and new sources without changing how you communicate with them. Ensure that the data you share can be accessed by different clients, without having to share details of your implementation.
This API is based on the technologies and vocabularies that make up the web today, such as REST, OpenAPI, JSON and HTML. This should ensure a smooth learning curve for any web developer, even if they are not familiar with GIS.
You can start using the OGC API Features specification today, by tapping into one of the existing server or client implementations.
Lists the collections of data on the server that can be queried, and each describes basic information about the geospatial data collection, like its id and description, as well as the spatial and temporal extents of all the data contained.
Requests all the data in a given collection. The response format (typically HTML or a GeoJSON feature collection, but GML is supported, too, and extensions can easily supply others) is determined using HTTP content negotiation.
Returns a single 'feature' - something in the real-world (a building, a stream, a county, etc.) that typically is described by a geometry plus other properties. This provides a stable, canonical URL to link to the 'thing'.
If you are interested in finding out how-to use other coordinate reference systems, you can read this . You can find here links for different parts of the spec and explore it using Swagger .

Eventual Data Consistency Solution in ServiceComb - part 2
In my previous post, I talked about how Saga can be used to solve the data consistency issue of our trip planning application. Now let's gather the requirements to design a saga.
Saga Log
Saga guarantees either all sub-transactions are committed or compensated for, but the saga system itself may crash. There are a few states that a saga may be in on crash:
- Saga received a request, but no transaction started yet. States of services involved in sub-transactions are not modified by saga, nothing has been done.
- Some sub-transactions were done. When restarted, saga has to resume from the last completed transaction.
- A sub-transaction was started, but not completed yet. Since we are not sure if the remote service completed the transaction, failed the transaction, or the request to remote service timed out, saga has to redo the sub-transaction on restart. That also means sub-transactions have to be idempotent.
- A sub-transaction failed and its compensating transaction has not started yet. Saga has to resume from the compensating transaction on restart.
- A compensating transaction started but not completed yet. The solution is basically the same as the previous one. That means compensating transactions have to idempotent too.
- All sub-transactions or compensating transactions were done, which is the same as the first case.
In order for saga to recover to the states mentioned above, we have to keep track of each step of sub-transactions and compensating transactions. We decided to achieve that by saving the following events in a persistent store called saga log:
- Saga started event stores the entire saga request, which includes multiple transaction/compensation requests
- Transaction started event stores individual transaction request
- Transaction ended event stores individual transaction request and its response
- Transaction aborted event stores individual transaction request and the cause of failure
- Transaction compensated event stores individual compensation request and its response
- Saga ended event marks the end of a saga request and stores nothing
By persisting these events in saga log, a crashed saga can be recovered to any states above.
Since saga only needs persistence of events and the event contents are stored as JSON, the implementation of the saga log is very flexible. Databases (SQL or NoSQL), durable message queues, or even plain files can be used as event storage, but some are faster for saga to recover.
Request Data Structure of Saga
In our case, flight booking, car rental, and hotel reservation have no dependency among each other at all and they can be processed in parallel. However, it's more user friendly for our customers to only charge their credit cards once, when all the bookings are done successfully. That means the transactions of the four services look like the graph below.
It makes sense to implement the data structure of trip planning request as a Directed Acyclic Graph. The root of the graph is saga start task and the leaf is saga end task.
Parallel Saga
As mentioned above, flight booking, car rental, and hotel reservation can be processed in parallel. But doing so creates another problem: what if flight booking failed while car rental is being processed? We can't keep waiting for the response from car rental service, because we have no idea how long it will take.
THe best thing we can do is to send the car rental request again and hope we get a response so that we can continue our backward recovery. If car rental service never responds, we may have to fallback with manual intervention.
The delayed booking request may still be received by the remote car rental service. When it does, the service has already processed the same booking and its cancellation request.
Therefore, services have to implement transactions and compensations in such a way that transaction request received after its compensation request takes no effect. Caitie McCaffrey called this commutative compensating request in her talk on Distributed Sagas: A Protocol for Coordinating Microservices.
ACID and Saga
ACID is consistency model with the following properties:
- Atomicity
- Consistency
- Isolation
- Durability
Saga does not provide ACID guarantee, because atomicity and isolation are not satisfied according to the paper
full atomicity is not provided. That is, sagas may view the partial results of other sagas [1]
With durable saga log, saga guarantees consistency and durability.
Saga Architecture
Finally, the architecture of our saga looks like this
- Saga execution component parses the request JSON and builds a graph of requests
- TaskRunner ensures the execution order of requests with task queue
- TaskConsumer processes tasks to write events to saga log and send requests to remote services
Summary
In this article, we talked about how saga can be implemented with a saga log to persist transaction/compensation events and request graph. A crashed saga can also be recovered from all the persisted events in saga log on restart. However, there are a few requirements on design of microservices to ensure saga consistency guarantee:
- transaction and compensation requests must be idempotent
- compensation requests must be commutative

Uber loses its London operating license
Transport for London says the company has repeatedly fallen foul of safety rules
by Henry BurrellTransport for London (TfL) has said Uber will not be granted a new license to operate in London after repeated safety failures. The regulatory body claims the popular ride-hailing app is not “fit and proper” to serve London.
A TfL spokesperson said the body had found “several breaches that placed passengers and their safety at risk”, detailed by Mayor of London Sadiq Khan in the below tweet claiming that 14,000 recent London Uber journeys involved fraudulent driver activity:
There have been examples of banned drivers easily getting themselves back onto the Uber system by using other drivers’ accounts, despite their private licenses being revoked.
Jamie Heywood, Uber’s UK Head said the decision was “exceptional and wrong” and that the firm would appeal the decision. Uber will be allowed to continue to operate during the appeal process.
According to the BBC, Uber currently has 45,000 drivers in London. The decision will be taken to a magistrate, a process that could take months to be decided – so Uber is staying put for the moment,

public interface HolidayCalendar extends Named
Many calculations in finance require knowledge of whether a date is a business day or not. This class encapsulates that knowledge, with each day treated as a holiday or a business day. Weekends are effectively treated as a special kind of holiday.
Applications should refer to holidays using HolidayCalendarId
.
The identifier must be resolved
to a HolidayCalendar
before the holiday data methods can be accessed.
See HolidayCalendarIds
for a standard set of identifiers available in ReferenceData.standard()
.
All implementations of this interface must be immutable and thread-safe.

The Vendetta
Guy de Maupassant
The widow of Paolo Saverini lived alone with her son in a poor little house on the outskirts of Bonifacio. The town, built on an outjutting part of the mountain, in places even overhanging the sea, looks across the straits, full of sandbanks, towards the southernmost coast of Sardinia.
Beneath it, on the other side and almost surrounding it, is a cleft in the cliff like an immense corridor which serves as a harbor, and along it the little Italian and Sardinian fishing boats come by a circuitous route between precipitous cliffs as far as the first houses, and every two weeks the old, wheezy steamer which makes the trip to Ajaccio.
On the white mountain the houses, massed together, makes an even whiter spot. They look like the nests of wild birds, clinging to this peak, overlooking this terrible passage, where vessels rarely venture. The wind, which blows uninterruptedly, has swept bare the forbidding coast; it drives through the narrow straits and lays waste both sides. The pale streaks of foam, clinging to the black rocks, whose countless peaks rise up out of the water, look like bits of rag floating and drifting on the surface of the sea.
The house of widow Saverini, clinging to the very edge of the precipice, looks out, through its three windows, over this wild and desolate picture.
She lived there alone, with her son Antonia and their dog “Semillante,” a big, thin beast, with a long rough coat, of the sheep-dog breed. The young man took her with him when out hunting.
One night, after some kind of a quarrel, Antoine Saverini was treacherously stabbed by Nicolas Ravolati, who escaped the same evening to Sardinia.
 Sleep, sleep; you shall be avenged. Do you hear? It’s your mother’s promise!
When the old mother received the body of her child, which the neighbors had brought back to her, she did not cry, but she stayed there for a long time motionless, watching him. Then, stretching her wrinkled hand over the body, she promised him a vendetta.  She did not move any more than did the mother, who, now leaning over the body with a blank stare, was weeping silently and watching it.
The young man, lying on his back, dressed in his jacket of coarse cloth, torn at the chest, seemed to be asleep. But he had blood all over him; on his shirt, which had been torn off in order to administer the first aid; on his vest, on his trousers, on his face, on his hands. Clots of blood had hardened in his beard and in his hair.

[gecode-users] gecode 6 exception

Hi, hmm that’s a bug. There has been a change in Gecode 6 for FloatVal (if used as coefficients in linear constraints which expr creates, they are not allowed to extend from negative to positive and include zero) but not for FloatVar. I’ll have a look sometime this week and get back to you.
Cheers
Christian

Subject: [gecode-users] gecode 6 exception
hi,
here is some simple example code:
FloatVar x (*this, -100, 100);
FloatVar t1 = expr (*this, abs (x * 100)); // OK
FloatVar t2 = expr (*this, abs (x) * 100); // NOK
variable t1 doesn't cause a problem
when creating variable t2, an exception is thrown (OutOfLimits("Float::linear"))
the same code compiled with gecode 4.3.2 doesn't cause problems.
am I doing something wrong?
Kind Regards,
Kurt Van Den Branden | Agfa Graphics

I’m the founder of the Minnow Support Project which has a home in a Discord group called the Peace, Abundance, and Liberty Network. It has a very simple mission statement: To spread the values of Peace, Abundance, and Liberty, to grow the Steem ecosystem and to train and retain Minnows on the platform. This is a public community with no commercial enterprise and focuses on giving away money and resteems in the weekly contest, votes and resteems for community curation, and free votes for any non-banned Steemian on the platform that wants a few pennies to help them get started.
Steem Monsters is different for sure. It’s a business that sells a game. It may or may not surprise you, but the true mission of Steem Monsters is very much rooted in the same sentiment and mission statement of PAL/MSP. Besides making money in a commercial venture what are the goals of Steem Monsters?
Value Overlap
We’re going to spread the values of Peace, Abundance, and Liberty through creative story telling and provide good and bad examples of how communities can be. We’ll poke fun at systems that don’t support these values or have them bring ruin in the story telling of the game.
We’re going to use this platform to bring new people onto the platform and grow the Steem ecosystem. I don’t mean to scoop myself… but we’re hiring a Director of Social Media today. He’s going to run contests outside of Steem to steal cryptokitty fans to our platform, get people from bitcoin and eos to get interested in Steem, and maybe spend a little time trying to capture fiat normies and get them into crypto too. We’re going to bring new users and we’re going to try to be the best app on the blockchain at bringing new users here.
Training and retaining new members: I’m not sure training is going to fit into this, but we’re building the game with the idea that retention kinda sucks right now and we need to improve it. Not everyone can earn post rewards every day, but we can make it through daily quests that everyone on the chain has a chance to earn more monsters and level them up and then sell them to one another. Here’s another way to earn even if you’re not simply posting. Some may prefer that frankly.
This was preemptive question answering
So, honestly not too many people have challenged me wondering what the goal of both of these groups are, but to me the mission is highly synergistic. Should be overwhelming and tons of fun to steer the biggest online community on Steemit and the fastest growing application out there.
Good Times!
Shilling
If you want to see Steem Monsters grow we need more time from Yabapmatt and that should be easier to make happen if homeboy is a top 20 witness. I’m asking that you go vote for him and help us get him a steady income to free up his time to work on Monsters and other block chain developments.

GE has brief descriptions of their wind program expectations:
Global onshore wind power farms are expected to grow by more than 60 GW in 2019, and global capacity from onshore wind energy applications is projected to reach nearly 750 GW by 2022.Source
They describe their equipment as:
GE is harnessing this increasing onshore wind energy potential with a broad family of smart, modular turbines that are uniquely suited for a variety of wind environments. Our onshore wind power technology and services can help improve cost, capacity and performance over the life of your onshore wind power plant, and our newest turbines are equipped with a digital infrastructure that allows you to connect, monitor, predict and optimize unit and wind farm energy performance.Source
GE's numbers on maintenance and profit are:
On average, our onshore wind farm maintenance and energy services improve Annual Energy Production (AEP) by 5% and increase profits by 20%. Our Repower program for onshore wind farms offers customers an affordable way to upgrade aging onshore wind turbines, increasing fleet power output up to 25% and adding up to 20 years to turbine life from the time of repoweringSource
One model of wind turbine is the 5mw Cypress platform. It has the following:
GE Renewable Energy has launched its new onshore wind turbine platform, named Cypress, and the next model from that platform, GE’s 5.3-158 MW wind turbine. The 5 MW onshore wind turbine platform advances the proven technology of GE’s 2 MW and 3 MW fleets, which serves an installed base of nearly 20 GW, while also using architecture and innovations from the 4.8-158 wind turbine introduced in 2017.Source
The Cypress platform has the following specifications:
Source
- Output(MW): 5.3
- Rotor Diameter(m): 158
- Hub Heights(m): 101,121,151 & 161
- Vref(m/s): ~37-40
