Computes approximate geodesic distance matrix using graph powers and keeping the amount of memory used low.
approx_geodesic(graph, n = 6L, warn = FALSE) approx_geodist(graph, n = 6L, warn = FALSE)
| graph | Any class of accepted graph format (see |
|---|---|
| n | Integer scalar. Degree of approximation. Bigger values increase precision (see details). |
| warn | Logical scalar. When |
A sparse matrix of class dgCMatrix
of size
nnodes(graph)^2
with geodesic distances up to n
.
While both igraph and sna offer very good and computationally
efficient routines for computing geodesic distances, both functions return
dense matrices, i.e. not sparse, which can be troublesome. Furthermore,
from the perspective of social network analysis, path lengths of more than 6 steps,
for example, may not be meaningful, or at least, relevant for the researcher.
In such cases, approx_geodesic
serves as a solution to this problem,
computing geodesics up to the number of steps, n
, desired, hence,
if n = 6
, once the algorithm finds all paths of 6 or less steps it
will stop, returning a sparse matrix with zeros for those pairs of
vertices for which it was not able to find a path with less than n
steps.
Depending on the graph size and density, approx_geodesic
's performance
can be compared to that of sna::geodist
. Although,
as n
increases, geodist
becomes a better alternative.
The algorithm was implemented using power graphs. At each itereation i the
power graph of order i
is computed, and its values are compared
to the current values of the geodesic matrix (which is initialized in zero).
Initialize the output ans(n, n)
For i=1
to i < n
do
Iterate through the edges of G^i
, if ans
has a zero
value in the corresponding row+column, replace it with i
next
Replace all diagonal elements with a zero and return.
This implementation can be more memory efficient that the aforementioned ones, but at the same time it can be significant slower.
approx_geodist
is just an allias for approx_geodesic
.


I am a 4th year Computer Science/ATEC double major with a passion for learning new technologies and engineering fun.
I enjoy creating situations that make people think about their actions, both in a tactical, game-like manner and in a reflective, introspective manner. The medium of games is one the best ways to achieve that.
I do this because to me, there’s a unique spark of enjoyment that stems from watching someone interact with something you’ve created — toying with it, asking questions about it, trying to understand more about it — that only comes from creating art. My goal is to make games that allow for those interactions in a meaningful way and reward players for those interactions.
I have taken courses such as Game Design I, Organization of Programming Languages, Database Systems, and Advanced Data Structures and Algorithm Analysis.
I have a solid grasp of Java, C++, C# and Python, among other languages. I also have experience with Docker, JIRA, JenkinsCI and Confluence on the DevOps side. I have experience with Unity and am familiar with Unreal Engine 4.
I am a quick and eager learner who isn't afraid of a challenge. I am proficient at scheduling myself and managing stress.
I work well with teams, both as a leader and as a member of them. I am creative, inquistive and adapt quickly.

I was inspired to make this map thanks to Greater Greater Washington's coverage of the 2016 DC zoning code. After reading about the possibility of corner stores in DC I had fond memories of the tiny grocery that was right around the corner from my home in Brooklyn. Even though I barely cook, I was amazed at the efficiency of that store. It seemed to have everything you needed and nothing else, including free space.
To figure out where corner stores might show up I dug around until I found chapter 254 of subtitle U of the 2016 DC Zoning Code. Section 6 of which has seven rules.
Several (a,b,c,g,e) of the rules are straightforward geographic considerations. (i.e.) must be in this type of zone, can't be within 750ft of that type of zone. Those were easily symbolized on the map by green dots at intersections that meet the requirements, and red buffers for restrictions. Due to my decision to symbolize the corners themselves, I didn’t have to work through restrictions on the type of building.
But some building restrictions seemed important to convey. Georgetown has stuck with the old law: Only pre-1958 commercial buildings in use in the last 3 years qualify. Those corners are shown as crab mustard yellow. R-3 -13 and -17 zones are little less restrictive: pre-1958 commercial buildings qualify, whether or not, they have been in use recently. Those corners are a tomatillo salsa green. Finally, the rest of the corners are dark green, where the history of the building is not considered. There are a few more restrictions on building types that I could not convey. I suggest anyone starting a corner store check out the regulations for themselves. That said, I feel the map gives a good sense of where new corner stores might show up.
While the zoning changes are a great improvement, several neighborhoods including Petworth, Brentwood and Marshall Heights are stuck with, at best, the corner stores that existed 58 years ago which seems unlikely to be ideal. Though GGW does have an encouraging post about how many of those building do exist.
One regulation was not easy for me to put on a map even though it seems possible:
(a) On a lot that is at the intersection of two (2) generally perpendicular streets;
Since I am new to geography I don’t know how to interpret "generally perpendicular." Someone suggested intersections at angles between 46° and 134°. But I bet that wouldn't pass the smell test. In the end I went along state streets and deleted points at intersections that looked to me not be generally perpendicular. If anyone knows how to apply this rule in a more rigorous way I'd be interested to hear about it.
After placing points on all the intersections in DC an unexpected class of intersections appeared. As far as I can tell, "T" intersections meet all the requirements for corner stores. Several of these can be seen on the map, for example 18th St. and Monroe NW. Personally, I would be happy to shop at a mid block corner store.
While working on regulations (b) and (c), which describe how far corner stores have to be from each other, I figured two interesting things. First, almost no areas currently meet those restrictions. Second, if you turn those regulations on their head you can imagine a vibrant DC corner. By my reading, some corners in DC could have two eating and drinking establishments and two other establishments. This brings to mind a nice little corner where you can get groceries, share a glass of wine with friends, and maybe get a haircut, all in your own neighborhood.
Thanks for taking a look at this. If you have any questions or found an egregious spelling error, feel free to send me an email.

An enthusiastic person with the idea to create, invent and solve problems efficiently with elegance. It's awesome when we make the engineering walks with design in same line.
I'm a student of Computer Engineering at Universidade Paulista (UNIP) in São Paulo city. I´m in 8 period from 10.
Job rotation, know and apply the knowledge of (Quality Assurance (QA)/ User Interface (UI)/ .NET/ Ruby) areas in internal projects.
Main responsibilities exercised in the pharmacy sector:


In my first attempt, I set out to see how accurately you could predict your power output during cycling from features such as cadence, speed and heartrate. I extracted the data from roughly 50 of my previous ride files, during which I used a PowerTap Hub to measure my true power output. I also measured my speed, elevation, heartrate and cadence through other devices.
I carried out some basic feature engineering in order to create variables such as change in heartrate, change in speed, and the steepness of the road. I fitted numerous models to the data and compared their results. By comparing the feature importances generated from the Random Forest model, the most important variables turned out to the be the un-engineered cadence and heartrate.
The question I want to answer here is can we improve on our feature engineering? More specifically, can we use the physical equations of motion to improve how we construct features. I mentioned in the first attempt that Strava provides a power estimate based on simple physical assumptions - this estimates your power output by simply balancing all the relevant forces that act on you as a cyclist. Let's begin with the famous equation that states that the net force acting on a body $\mathbf{F_{net}}$ equals the mass $\mathbf{m}$ times the acceleration $\mathbf{a}$,
$$\mathbf{ F_{net} = ma }. $$We can now write the net force $\mathbf{F_{net}}$ as the sum of the individual forces that act on a cyclist as the following
$$ \mathbf{ F_{net} = F_{output} - F_{air} - F_{grav} - F_{rolling} - F_{brake} },$$where $\mathbf{F_{output}}$ is the force being output by the cyclist (which is what we're trying to predict), $\mathbf{F_{grav}}$ is the force of gravity (this can be positive or negative depending on whether we're going up or downhill), $\mathbf{F_{air}}$ is aerodynamic drag, $\mathbf{F_{rolling}}$ is the rolling resistance between the tyres and road, and finally $\mathbf{F_{brake}}$ is the force of the cyclist applying the brakes.
We now want to write down physical equations for each force. The rolling resistance will not vary much during a ride so we will ignore this term, and we cannot predict when a cyclist will brake either so this term will also be excluded. That leaves us with the aerodynamic drag and the force of gravity. The force caused by aerodynamic drag has the following equation
$$ \mathbf{ F_{air} = \frac{1}{2} C_d A \rho v^2 }, $$where $\mathbf{C_d}$ is the coefficient of drag (i.e. how much drag the wind creates per unit area), $\mathbf{A}$ is the cyclists total frontal area that the wind 'sees', $\mathbf{\rho}$ is the density of air, and $\mathbf{v}$ is the speed of the cyclist. The drag coefficient multpliplied by the frontal area produces the total aerodynamic drag '$\mathbf{C_dA}$' which cyclists are obsessed with reducing. The equation for the gravitational term is given by
$$ \mathbf{ F_{grav} = m g \text{sin}(\theta) } $$,
where $\mathbf{m}$ is the total mass of the cyclist plus the bike, $\mathbf{g = 9.81}$ is the gravitational acceleration, and $\mathbf{\theta}$ is the angle of the road relative to a flat surface ($\mathbf{\theta = 0}$ is completely flat, while $\mathbf{\theta=90}$ degrees is a vertical wall). We now have formulas for the force of aerodynamic drag and gravity, but we're interested in predicting the power generated by the cyclist, not the force. This is an important difference as power is the energy generated/work done, due to a force, per second. In order to convert the above force terms to power, we simply multiply by the speed, leading to
$$ \mathbf{ P_{air} = \frac{1}{2} C_d A \rho v^3 }, $$$$ \mathbf{ P_{grav} = m g \text{sin}(\theta) v }. $$These terms tells us how aerodynamic drag and gravity contribute to the kinetic energy change of the cyclist. Ignoring the constants, we can see that these two power terms are proportional to the following quantities
$$ \mathbf{ P_{air} \propto (\text{speed})^3 }, $$$$ \mathbf{ P_{grav} \propto \text{gradient}\times\text{speed} }, $$where we have assumed $\mathbf{ \text{sin}(\theta) \approx \text{tan}(\theta) = \text{gradient} }$, which is not a bad approximation as changes in elevation are small compared to changes in horizontal distance. These two quantities, $\mathbf{(\text{speed})^3}$ and $\mathbf{\text{gradient}\times\text{speed}}$, are good candidates for features as they tell us how the power demands of the cyclist change in time. The speed data is a stored variable in the .fit files, and we can easily calculate the gradient.
One problem with these two new features is that although the wind and gradient may change, this does not necessarily mean the cyclist will increase or decrease their power. For example when going downhill, most cyclists will reduce their power output and freewheel, even though the wind resistance has increased dramatically. To try and make an even better feature, let's consider the balance of all the power terms (ignoring rolling resistance)
$$ \mathbf{ mav = P_{output} - P_{air} + P_{grav} },$$which is $ \mathbf{ F_{net} = ma } $ multiplied by the speed $\mathbf{v}$. Rearrange for $ \mathbf{ P_{output} } $ and then substitute our equations for $\mathbf{P_{air}}$ and $\mathbf{P_{grav}}$, giving
$$ \mathbf{ P_{output} = mav + \frac{1}{2} C_d A \rho v^3 - m g \text{sin}(\theta) v }. $$This gives us a rough estimate of the cyclists power output by balancing the dominant forces. This should hopefully form a better feature than $\mathbf{(\text{speed})^3}$ and $\mathbf{\text{gradient}\times\text{speed}}$ as it should more accurately track changes in the true power output of the cyclist. We'll use in the ballpark values for our parameteters: $m=80$ kg, $C_d A = 0.3$ m$^2$, $\rho = 1.225$ kgm$^3$. The remaining variables speed, gradient and acceleration can be calculated from the ride data.
We now have three new features to add to our dataset:
| New Feature | Equation | Physical Origin |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $\mathbf{v^3}$ | Proportional to wind power |
| 2 | $\mathbf{\text{sin}(\theta) v}$ | Proportional to gravitational power |
| 3 | $\mathbf{mav + \frac{1}{2} C_d A \rho v^3 + m g \text{sin}(\theta) v }$ | Rough estimate of cyclists power output |
We now want to see if using these three new features improves the accuracy of our models. In order to compare the results from my first attempt, I'll use the exact same models with the exact parameters, but this time we'll introduce the three new features above in addition to the original features used previously. The only model change I will make is to introduce three more hidden units in each hidden layer of the neural network; this ensures that the number of hidden units is one more than the number of features.
The dataset is formed using the functions defined in the python script titled 'dataPrep2.py', which can be found in the GitHub repository for this post. The data is extracted from the .fit files and saved as a numpy array. Let's now load this data.
import numpy as np
from dataPrep2 import loadDataset2
xTrain, yTrain, xTest, yTest = loadDataset2()
print "Total number of observations: ", xTrain.shape[0]+xTest.shape[0]
print " Training observations: ", xTrain.shape[0]
print " Test observations: ", xTest.shape[0]
print "\n Number of inputs/features: ", xTrain.shape[1]
print " Number of outputs/targets: ", 1
# plot 20 minutes of data of our 3 new features
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline
fig, (ax0,ax1,ax2) = plt.subplots(3,1,sharex=True)
t = np.linspace(1,1200,1200)
ax0.plot( t, xTrain[-1200:,-3], color='darkblue', label='speed*gradient' )
ax0.set_xlim( (1,1200) )
ax0.yaxis.grid(True)
ax0.legend( shadow=True, loc=3, fontsize=15 )
ax0.set_title('New Feature 1')
ax1.plot( t, xTrain[-1200:,-2], color='darkred', label='speed cubed' )
ax1.set_xlim( (1,1200) )
ax1.yaxis.grid(True)
ax1.legend( shadow=True, loc=2, fontsize=15 )

ax2.plot( t, xTrain[-1200:,-1], color='darkgreen', label='crude power estimate')
ax2.set_xlim( (1,1200) )

ax2.set_title('New Feature 3')
ax2.set_xlabel('Time (seconds)')
fig.set_size_inches( (12,9) )
plt.show()
It can be seen in the third feature, the estimate of the cyclists power based on simple physical assumptions, has unrealistic positive spikes (I'd like to see any cyclist put out over 6000 watts). The power also drops below zero at points; this may be due to the fact that we are ignoring rolling resistance and any braking that might occurs. If a cyclist applies the brakes, this estimate might interpret the resulting deceleration as the cyclist applying negative power.
These issues however do not matter too much. We're using this power estimate as a feature to increase the amount of information we have on the variability of the true power output by the cyclist. The power estimate feature doesn't have to be physically consistent, it simply has to contain potentially useful information.
Before training our models, we'll clean up and standardise our data as before.
# Remove NaNs and standardise data
from sklearn.preprocessing import Imputer, StandardScaler
# convert all infinite values to nans
xTrain[ np.isinf( xTrain ) ] = np.nan
xTest[ np.isinf( xTest ) ] = np.nan
# construct imputer and scaler
myImputer = Imputer( missing_values='NaN', strategy='median', axis=0 )
myScaler = StandardScaler()
# impute NaNs
xTrain = myImputer.fit_transform( xTrain )
xTest = myImputer.transform( xTest )
# remove mean and divide by standard deviation
xTrain = myScaler.fit_transform( xTrain )
xTest = myScaler.transform( xTest )
Use the same models as before:
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
from sklearn.neighbors import KNeighborsRegressor
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor
from sklearn.neural_network import MLPRegressor
# model names
modelNames = [ 'Linear Regression', 'K-Nearest', 'Random Forest', 'Neural Network' ]
# construct models
modelList = [ LinearRegression(),
KNeighborsRegressor( n_neighbors=75 ),
RandomForestRegressor( n_estimators=500, n_jobs=3 ),
MLPRegressor( hidden_layer_sizes=(10,10), learning_rate_init=0.001,
alpha=0.0, max_iter=1000, tol=0.0 )
]
# train each model
for model in modelList:
print "\nCurrently training:\n\t", model, "\n"
model.fit( xTrain, yTrain )
print "Done!"
Previously we used the coefficient of determination $R^2$ to compare our models. The $R^2$ score equals one for perfect predictions, zero for simply using the average power value, and negative values for really bad models. The original scores we are trying to improve on are listed below.
| Model | $R^2$ Score |
|---|---|
| Multiple Linear Regression | 0.0614 |
| K-Nearest Neigbour | 0.0929 |
| Random Forest | 0.0913 |
| Neural Network | 0.0945 |
Let's see if these scores change by introducing our three new physics-inspired features.
# loop through each model and calculate the score
for i, model in enumerate( modelList ) :
print modelNames[i], ":", np.round( model.score( xTest, yTest ), 4 )
We do see some modest improvements and the linear regression improved the most. This is likely due to the fact that the new features are nonlinear functions of the original data, such that the linear model is now regressing onto features which vary more linearly with the true power. This increases the linear models predictive power.
The K-Nearest Neighbour model score decreases slightly. The performance of a K-Nearest Neighbour model generally decreases as the number of features grows larger; this is because notions of similarity/distance between data points distort in a high-dimensional space. The decrease in score however is small and may not be statistically significant, so we should be refrain from over-interpreting such changes.
Both the Random Forest and Neural Network model scores increase, and this likely due to an increased amount of information being supplied to the models by the new features. Why not form every conceivable combination of the original features and feed them in too? This would increase the amount of information the models can utilise and therefore lead to more accurate predictions. Their are a few issues with this method. First, this would dramatically increase the computational cost of training these models, potentially making the training intractable. Second, if the number of features becomes comparable to the number of training examples, you're at risk of overfitting and will then have to employ some form of regularisation. Third, you may lose some interpretability of your features if you start making increasingly more complex functions of the original features (this however may not be an issue depending on the goal of the project).
Finally, lets look at the feature importances generated by the Random Forest and see how these new features compare to each other with regards to predictive skill.
# extract feature importances from random forest model
featImpo = modelList[2].feature_importances_
# make list of feature names
features = [ 'Cadence', 'Speed', 'Heartrate',
'Gradient', 'Change in \nheartrate',
'Change in \nspeed', 'Gradient*speed',
'Speed cubed', 'Power estimate']
# plot a bar chart
plt.barh( np.linspace(1,9,9), featImpo, color='red', edgecolor='black', linewidth=2 )
fig, ax = plt.gcf(), plt.gca()
fig.set_size_inches( (12,10) )
ax.set_xlabel( 'Feature Importance', fontsize=15 )
ax.yaxis.grid(True)
ax.yaxis.set_ticks( np.linspace(1,9,9) )
ax.yaxis.set_ticklabels([])
ax.set_axisbelow(True)
ax.set_title('Feature Importance from Random Forest Model', fontsize=15, fontweight='bold' )
# annotate
for i in range(9) :
if i<6 :
plt.text( -0.01, i+1, features[i], fontsize=15, va='center', ha='right' )
else :
plt.text( -0.01, i+1, features[i], fontsize=15, va='center', ha='right', fontweight='bold' )
plt.show()
Heartrate and cadence remain the most useful features, but the gradient$*$speed feature moves into third place. This is interesting as individually, gradient and speed are the least important features, while the interaction between them (their product) becomes useful. The speed cubed feature didn't turn out to be that important; despite being proportional to the aerodynamic drag, the true power output must not vary much with changes in the wind forcing.
Which features does the linear regression rely on the most? Since all the input features have been normalised, we can directly compare the magnitude of the resulting linear regression coefficients. Let's extract them and compare them like how we have done with the above feature importances.
coef = modelList[0].coef_
# plot a bar chart
plt.barh( np.linspace(1,9,9), np.abs( coef ), color='brown', edgecolor='black', linewidth=2 )
fig, ax = plt.gcf(), plt.gca()
fig.set_size_inches( (12,10) )
ax.set_xlabel( 'Magnitude of coefficient', fontsize=15 )
ax.yaxis.grid(True)
ax.yaxis.set_ticks( np.linspace(1,9,9) )
ax.yaxis.set_ticklabels([])
ax.set_axisbelow(True)
ax.set_title('Coefficient Magnitudes of Linear Regression Model', fontsize=15, fontweight='bold' )
# annotate
for i in range(9) :
if i<6 :
plt.text( -1, i+1, features[i], fontsize=15, va='center', ha='right' )
else :
plt.text( -1, i+1, features[i], fontsize=15, va='center', ha='right', fontweight='bold' )
plt.show()
We see that cadence is only the fourth most important feature within the linear regression model and this makes sense; when pedalling a cyclist can exhibit a range of power values for the same cadence value, but if the cadence drops to zero, then the power must also drop to zero. This is a highly nonlinear relationship so it's not surprisingly the linear model can't capture that behaviour. We also see that our physics-inspired features are relatively useful within the linear regression model.
To sum, up you can improve model performance by engineering features based on the physical equations of the system. The code for this post can be found in this GitHub repo. Thank you to Reddit user nickl for suggesting looking into this type of feature engineering.

Review by Ed Johnson-Ott, NUVO Newsweekly www.nuvo-online.com Archive reviews at http://us.imdb.com/M/reviews_by?Edward+Johnson-ott To receive reviews by e-mail at no charge, send subscription requests to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>"Apt Pupil" is one of the more peculiar films to come down the pike in quite some time. While the psychological horror story of the relationship between a teenage boy and a Nazi war criminal is certainly creepy, director Bryan Singer maintains an odd sense of distance that blunts the effectiveness of the production. We expect a probing examination of the essence of evil, but the film stays too close to the surface to deliver any insight. As a result, using a Nazi as the bogeyman feels arbitrary and vaguely exploitative rather than dramatically justifiable.
Set in 1984, the story (based on a Stephen King novella) introduces young Todd Bowden (Brad Renfro), a high school honor student who becomes fixated on Nazis and Holocaust imagery during sociology class and continues his private research at the local library. Bowden, a resident of Incredible Coincidences, California, notices that one of his fellow bus passengers bears a striking resemblance to a Nazi war criminal. Several weeks later, the boy shows up on the doorstep of Kurt Dussander (Ian McKellen), threatening to expose the man unless he tells him, "everything they're afraid to tell us in school."
And so the relationship begins, with the grizzled old man recounting tales of atrocities while the kid sits transfixed, drinking in every word. As their symbiosis-by-blackmail continues, two things happen: Bowden becomes increasingly demanding and dictatorial as his obsession grows, while Dussander finds his long dormant sadism resurfacing. Clearly, it's only a matter of time before the wily old man figures a way to turn the tables on his young master.
The psychological study of Bowden and Dussander is very intriguing, but director Bryan Singer doesn't sufficiently explore the psyches of his characters, leaving us with an aged one-dimensional monster and an underdeveloped monster-in-training. The actors are definitely not the problem. The remarkable Ian McKellan is skilled enough to give his character more depth than the anemic script provides (although he moves into caricature during an over-the-top goose-stepping scene), and Renfo is no slouch, maintaining a fierce focus that makes his fresh-scrubbed innocent appearance all the more chilling.
At first the Nazi imagery is appropriately disturbing, but as the film wore on, it felt more and more like a simple gimmick; just another in a long line of Stephen King creep-outs. The story's level of coincidence is absurd. After successfully eluding the authorities for decades, McKellan gets spotted not once, but twice during the course of the tale. I'm willing to suspend disbelief to an extent, but two separate discoveries doesn't just strain credulity, it snaps it in two.
Beyond the film's problems with structure and logic, I also found certain shots of Renfro more than a little disquieting. Early in the film there's an aerial view of the youth resting on his bed wearing only boxers. The camera moves over the smooth curves of his underage body, sensuously accented by moonlight. Later, in a shower scene, we get a teasing shot of the boy's rear, followed by a front view oh-so-carefully framed to barely conceal his genitals, while displaying as much of his perfectly lit body as possible. While I enjoy looking at an attractive physique as much as anyone, these loving displays of the body of a minor made me uncomfortable. If the filmmakers want to flash some beefcake, I'd prefer they use grown-up subjects.
"Apt Pupil" shows evil as a force that is communicable, but doesn't provide the all-important character development that would explain the mechanics and motivations. It purports to be an examination of what drives humans to commit acts of indescribable horror, but barely scrapes the surface. By staying in the wading pool rather than taking a high dive, the film leaves us only with a compelling, if contrived, psychological cat and mouse story.  "Apt Pupil" had incredible potential, but in the hands of Bryan Singer and scripter Brandon Boyce, it ends up just a moderately involving creep show, and a veritable cavalcade of missed opportunities.

When bombogenesis comes
"Bombogenesis" has long been used by meteorologists. The technical definition of bombogenesis is when the atmospheric pressure drops at least 24 millibars over 24 hours.
In January 2018, a strong storm headed straight for East Coast of the United States and Canada, causing extreme weather and heavy snow.
Source: NOAA
Being the most geographically proximate to the storm's track, Massachusetts bore the highest impacts of all American states. Winds gusted to hurricane-force at 76 miles per hour on Nantucket and over 70 miles per hour on mainland Massachusetts.
At least 17.0 inches of snow fell on the Boston area, and 14.1 inches fell in Providence, Rhode Island. In Boston, a storm tide of 15.16 ft was recorded during the blizzard which flooded areas of the financial district, including a subway station. This beat the previous record set in 1978 by the Blizzard of 1978. Significant coastal flooding occurred in Maine and New Hampshire.
According to NOAA, during the last five year, Massachusetts residents seemeed to see the most snowy January in 2014 and 2018. In 2014, it said that up to 100 million Americans was affected by the storm "Hercules". Especially, Boxford, in Essex County, is topping the chart at 23.8 inches daily.
In 2018, Bristol received more than 22 inches snowfall in total in January and 15.5 inches in January 5. However, Nantacket saw the least snowfall.
So which county had the most snowfall in recent years? What about rainfall amount? Also, due to the location of Massachusetts, it seems taht snow comes more heavier than the rain.
Since 1980, there's more and more heavy snow in Massachusetts.

July 17, 2010
The meeting was called to order by President Jim
McConnell at 2:00 p.m. in the King Room of Pueblo West Library.
Members present were:
Jim, NE0DA
Bill, WA0KAQ
Dan, NG0T
Bill, KB0RPD
Ed, NI5R
Paul, KB0JIT
Bill, W0NHF
Neal, KD0MBL
Kirk, KD0LDH
Two guests were also in attendance. There were Bob
Akins, WD0FBW, and John Gleason, N6GRJ.
Bob is a Technician licensee who is fairly new to
Pueblo West. We first met him at our Field Day exercise. He is
retired from the U.S. Air Force and has an extensive background in
MARS operations.
John is new to Pueblo West, having been here only for
three weeks. He holds an Extra license and is also a Volunteer
Examiner. He enjoys DXing.
Both Bob and John joined the club, and we welcome them
to our membership role. We hope they will enjoy our meetings and
activities, and we look forward to learning from their years of
experience as well.
Birthday wishes go out to J (KD0GTR), Bill (W0NHF),
and Bill (KB0RPD).
News From Members:
Kirk, KD0LDH, was one of several members who attended
the Megafest swap meet in Monument on Saturday morning. He came home
with two "slinky" dipoles for HF. Kirk will be taking his
General exam at the August 21 VE session here in Pueblo West.
Neal, KD0MBL, another ham class student, took his
General examination at the Megafest VE session and passed it with a
perfect score. Congratulations, Neal! You will have fun on the HF
bands with that new Yaesu FT-857D.
Ed, NI5R, reported he had not been active except for
contacting a few stations in Canada and one in Italy during the last month.
Paul, KB0JIT, has been working with Neal to build an
HF fan dipole.
Bill, W0NHF, has been spending time on 10 meters and
recently worked TX, FL and the Dakotas.
Bill, KB0RPD, reports he has installed an MFJ window
feed through for his antennas. He is pleased with it, and he found he
could also raise his "slinky" dipole an additional five
feet. He says the antenna seems to work better now on 40 and 20 meters.
Dan, NG0T, notes work has kept him off the air
recently, however he worked 8 hours of cw at Field Day and has also
been checking into the club's VHF net where shares NCS duties.
Jim, NE0DA, has his 6-meter antenna back in the air
and is waiting for another band opening.
Bill, WA0KAQ, stated he had not been on the air much
since Field Day, but last Tuesday evening he worked Fiji and Belarus
on 20 meter cw running 90 watts to a low dipole.
Jane, KA0USA, was not able to attend, however WA0KAQ
says she has received QSL cards from Turks & Caicos Island, the
Battleship Missouri, the Galapagos Islands, and a special events card
commemorating the 150th Anniversary of the Pony Express. Last
Wednesday she also worked a special events station from the Calgary
Stampede in Calgary, Alberta.
Secretary's Report:
Meeting notes are e-mailed to all members and
prospects as soon as they are written and are posted on our website,
beginning with the January 2010 meeting. A copy of the minutes of the
previous month's meeting is always available at the sign-in table for
anyone who would like to view it. If anyone has questions on the
minutes, the Secretary will be happy to answer them and make
corrections if needed.
Treasurer's Report:
Dan, NG0T, reported a club balance of $705.80 in the
bank, and $25 in petty cash, for a total of $730.80.
Field Day expenses were presented totaling $49.09, and
$6.00 in donations collected at Field Day was turned in for deposit.
Ways & Means Report:
WA0KAQ stepped in for KE0USA for the Ways and Means
report. He noted the club has foam cops and paper napkins left over
for Field Day that can be used at future events.
The big news is that Walmart has again changed its
policy pertaining to vendors.  This new ruling will also prohibit our club from
holding future Bake Sales there unless we obtain non-profit status.
Report from Training Coordinators:
Classes are being held temporarily in the Pueblo West
Library from 7-9:00 p.m. each Thursday. Paul reported that one night
they used a study room, and another night they used the King Room.
Once students start back to school, however, it may be more difficult
to obtain a study room. The library does not accept weekly
reservations for rooms, only monthly.
A Volunteer Examiner session will be held at Pueblo
West Library from Noon until 2 p.m. Saturday, August 21. The amateur
radio exams will precede our regular meeting at 2 p.m. At least two
ham class students will be taking exams. Kirk, KD0LDH, will be
testing for his General license, and David Yeater will be going for
his Technician and possibly General license.

New Business:
-
Thank you to Pueblo West Rental Center
Club members signed a Thank You card for Pueblo West
Rental Center. The business donated the use of a 5,600-watt gasoline
generator for the club's Field Day use. The generator was used to run
the air conditioning in the travel trailer.
-
Non-profit Incorporation - Should the club spend $400
to receive non-profit status?
WA0KAQ repeated that Walmart is now taking the
position that any organization that is not non-profit is not allowed
to sell anything in front of Walmart, effective immediately. This new
ruling will prohibit our club from holding future Bake Sales at
Walmart unless the organization has non-profit status.
The club discussed becoming a 501(c)(3) non-profit
corporation this year, and was told the filing fee would be about
$400. The club has the funds necessary, and if it is going to hold
future fundraisers at Walmart, it will need the non-profit status.
The past two Bake Sales have averaged $250 each in
income for our treasury, and Jane would like to have another one in
September if the members agree to that. Whether or not the non-profit
corporation can be set up by that time, and if the fundraiser can be
scheduled early enough, is yet unknown.
In addition, annual membership dues will start
becoming due at the August meeting. The anticipated revenue from
those expected to renew their membership by the end of the year is a
minimum of $180, and it could be more.
Membership renewal fees, along with what we would have
left in the treasury after the $400 fee was paid, would leave us with
an estimated $500 in the treasury at the end of the year. If we can
have the fundraiser, it will be more. However, we may be too far into
the winter season to hold a Bake Sale when the incorporation is finished.
KB0RPD made a motion to have NG0T move forward with
the non-profit corporation application. The motion was seconded by
KB0JIT. The club members voted unanimously to file the necessary
paperwork for the non-profit incorporation. NG0T noted it may take
some time to get the paperwork together and get the results back. He
said a minimum of 90 days would probably be a reasonable time period
for the process.
-
Packets for new class members
Last month it was decided that information packets
would be useful if they were given to class members. They would
contain membership information and applications, contact information,
the website URL, etc. WA0KAQ presented a preliminary packet for
members to view. It included a class application form, information
about the Technician license, an ARRL handout, a wallet-size card
with club contact information, and tri-fold brochure about the club,
and a PWARC membership application form.
In addition, preliminary packets were presented for
use by visitors and by new members. All packets will be available soon.
-
Class through Recreation Dept.?
NE0DA reported that he has been in contact with the
Recreation Department about the possibility of using the Liberty
Point facility for the club's ham class. He was told that the
schedule has already been made for the fall season, but that there
was an opening from 8-10 a.m. on Sunday mornings. This time slot was rejected.
The Department will have a new starting date for its
activities in January, and NE0DA was told we might be able to be
worked into that schedule.
No determination was made as to the cost of using the
facility, or what it would cost students to take the class there.
While it would be nice to have the class information distributed
throughout the Metropolitan District through the Recreation
Department, it may be cost prohibitive. No decision will be made
until all the information can be gathered. We might be better off
handling the classes on our own as we have in the past.
-
Battery distribution
Two sets of 18 Ah batteries were distributed at the
meeting. KD0LDH and KB0JIT were the lucky winners. More batteries
will be distributed at meetings as they are received. We do not know
ahead of time when we will be receiving more from the National
Weather Service.
In addition to the batteries, WA0KAQ distributed world
maps from Yaesu to all members. These maps were received too late for
the Field Day exercise.
-
ARRL Membership
Neal and Kirk applied for ARRL membership through the
club. As an ARRL Affiliated Club, the club retains $15 of the $39
annual ARRL membership fee for members applying for the first time.
Jim renewed his membership as well, and for this the club retained
$2.00. Thank you all for helping us retain the 51% required ARRL
membership to remain an Affiliated Club.
-
The club's first anniversary is in August. Do the
members want to do anything special for the meeting?
WA0KAQ noted it is fitting that the first VE session
be held here in Pueblo West will be in the month of the club's first
anniversary. We thank the Pueblo Ham Club for their consideration.
With the VE session immediately preceding the club's
August meeting, members decided not to hold anything special at the
meeting. However, KB0RPD stated he would like to host a pot luck
supper for the club. The club decided to hold the event at 5 p.m. on
Saturday, August 28, at KB0RPD's home, 125 S. Trevino Dr. Thank you,
Bill. A map of the location will be provided as the event draws nearer.
-
Field Day results. How did we do?
NE0DA stated he felt that the dry run held at the June
meeting helped considerably in the way things went so smoothly during
set up and tear down.
WA0KAQ praised the members for the way they worked
together as a team at Field Day. No matter what the task, they all
did their part and helped in any way they could. He also reminded
members that several months ago he told them that if they were
willing to work at it, their results could surprise some people in
the competition as well. He noted that they even surprised him.
Although the results won't be known until November, the club did very
well for its first event. If this year's score was plugged into last
year's results the club would have rated number 7 nationally in a
class with 25 stations.
WA0KAQ stated that now that members have seen how it
is done, the club needs to have a Field Day Committee put on the next
year's event. All the information WA0KAQ compiled for this year's
event will be available to the committee.
Program:
Due to the projector timing out once again, the short
video that was to be presented was scuttled. Future video programs
will be moved to an earlier time in the agenda beginning next month.
Demonstrations, etc., will remain near the end of the agenda.
Coming Events:
Each Tuesday evening we have our VHF net on 146.445
MHz FM simplex at 7:00, and an HF net on 28.305 MHz USB at 7:30 p.m.

NE0DA noted the club's HF net on 10 meters is only
having sporadic check-ins, and that there is nothing new to report on
it after the VHF net has been held. In addition, many stations have
to be relayed to net control due to propagation conditions. With the
VHF net being more effective for our local communications, the
decision was made to discontinue the HF net.

Latest update: 8/16/2016
We are excited to see this year’s CLC draw extensive enthusiasm from all kinds of ping pong players. Our mission is to build a high level team competition platform with company teams as the main participants. At the same time, we would also like to provide an opportunity for more players to participate, have fun, learn from each others and make friends. Therefore, we decided to allow guest teams to participate in this CLC. Guest teams are for players who cannot participate in the regular CLC teams, including professional players, professional coaches, students, kids and youths. Following are the rules for guest teams.
Guest teams will play the same big round robin with regular teams. Guest teams do not participate in the regular CLC playoff round. Guest teams that are ranked among the top 8 in the Big RR phase, if more than one, will play a guest team playoff round. The game format will be round robin. The prize is $300 for the champion and $100 for the runner upper.
If there is a guest champion, there will be a bonus championship game between the guest champion and the CLC champion. The winner will get an additional $200 prize. If there is no guest champion, the top guest team in the Big RR round, if ranked in the top 8, can play the bonus championship game with the CLC champion to compete for the bonus championship title and the $200 prize.

 By moving quickly, travelling in large packs and placing important people in highly visible positions of authority, the Mongols created a daunting illusion of ubiquity and numerical superiority.
The same situation prevails with Baby Boomers. While it may be true that tie-dyed, hemp-toking countercultural hipsters were never an absolute majority of Boomers, it certainly seemed like it at the time.
Joe Queenan, Balsamic Dreams (2001)

About Temply.js
Temply.js is a small templating engine using vanilla JavaScript.
It does not depend on any other framework such as jQuery, Prototype.js or other. But it can be used with any of them.
Requirements
Temply.js should work with most modern browsers. It has been tested with this following browsers:
- Firefox 18 (Mac)
- Safari 6 (Mac)
- Google Chrome 23 (Mac)
But other versions or browsers could work, too.
Source Code
You can find the source code for the library on GitHub:
https://github.com/webmatze/Temply/Usage
Temply.js uses a simple template language that can be used in two different ways.
Text Template Tags
This is the simplest way to include Temply.js template tags into your HTML pages.
You can include the template tags as {{name}}
nearly everywhere in your HTML page.

{{title}}

{{content}}
 {{link_name}}

Tag Attribute Template Tags
A second and cleaner way is to use the following attribute tp-model="name"
on any HTML tag. But this can not be used to set the values of other tag attributes like href=""
in the following example. But you can use the Text Template Tag here.

Replacing Template Tags With Data
When all template tags are placed you can replace those tags using Temply.js with dynamic data:
var data = { title: "Hello World", content: "Lorem ipsum...", url: "http://example.com", link_name: "Example.com" }; var temply = new Temply(data, document.getElementById("data")); temply.run();
Repeating content
It is also simple to automatically repeat elements and fill them with data from arrays. You only need one extra attribute tp-repeat="entries"
and the tp-model="entry"
attribute.
Here is an simple example.
HTML code:

JavaScript code:
var data = { entries: [ { title: "First Entry", content: "Lorem ipsum...", url: "http://example.com", link_name: "Example.com" }, { title: "Second Entry", content: "Lorem ipsum...", url: "http://example.com", link_name: "Example.com" } ] }; var temply = new Temply(data, document.getElementById("data")); temply.run();
Demo
You can find a more complex demonstration of all features here: Feedreader Demo

The Checklist is a list of needs that designers and engineers have to prioritize when designing technology that functions easily and safely for communities online and allow for spaces of serious, important and even fun interactions. For community organizers, this is the state of what tools can and can’t do.
Designing for Communities is Different Than Designing Enterprise Software.
People need different kinds of tools to respond to different moments in their lives, there isn’t going to be a one size fits all solution. What’s important to acknowledge in this moment, is to understand how scary and serious it is, but also to acknowledge that people want to have closeness, intimacy, and even delight. But if a work tool is also used for a social hang out, there is no separation. Better interfaces, more customization, and secure privacy can create better experiences for social gatherings, community meetings, and families.
Design needs to learn and respond to what communities need right now.
This is a paramount feature. Does it offer encryption or end to end encryption so all video calls, messages, and media are safe and secure?
Does the tool notify users when it’s recording? Or Does it notify users how their data is being used? For example, when Zoom is asking to access a user’s calendar- is it just to help set up meetings or is Zoom using the calendar information for other reasons. Users need to know and the tool should offer clear, consensual choices.
Tools need to allow for ways to integrate outside links of audio or video into a shared video conferencing space so all attendees can see the same content at relatively the same time. Zoom currently does this but it isn’t easy to figure out, and generally only hosts have this option.
Zoom recently allowed for a way to upload media in the chat, though it would be great if all tools, including Zoom, made it easier to drag media into a chat, similar to how Slack allows for media sharing.
Latency, and a lack of feedback across hosts and participants are a Major issue. Latency is a hard technical issue to solve but it ruins and interrupts social interactions. Latency and lag stands in the way of creators, educators, and artists since presenters and participants are not getting clear or obvious feedback from the tools about latency issues. Users should be given more clear and obvious notifications and feedback related to connectivity, lag, and latency.
Imagine if all tools had the ability to create break out rooms or smaller group chats? What would it look like if a handful of people, not just the host, in your tool form a private conversation? How, when, what does it look like?
Even with Zoom’s update, hosts and participants need better UI moderation. Imagine if the host had the ability to right click on a video, and mute someone. Imagine if participants could do that, too. Moderation shouldn’t just fall to the host, when any participant can face harassment. Moderation tools should be easy to find, intuitive, and placed frequently throughout the tool, like right clicks on video, tools in the menu bar to create muting, block lists, and or the ability to ‘choose’ where their video is placed.
Be it workout classes, teaching, or karaoke, users need better ways to share audio for all participants, sync up audio, and then an ability to discuss on top of audio. Audio and sound experiences are important regardless if it’s for a conference, a classroom or for a karaoke party. Pamela Liou, artist and teacher pointed out “[Bad] syncing makes it basically impossible to teach."
Give people the ability to turn on and off audio syncing, especially on Zoom. Zoom’s camera jumps to whatever ‘sound’ is made or who is talking to focus on that audio. This feature where video conferencing focuses on one noise or camera above others makes it impossible for participants to all share sound at the same time, like practicing singing, or engaging in group sound exercises.
Hosts need better registration and capture emails and names, easier ways to integrate or allow for surveys, ways to communicate with attendees through the tool much like how eventbrite or meet up works, and the ability charge fees or fee based gathering.
People need better tools to allow for customization- perhaps, even like a dashboard. Customization could allow people, such as hosts, to create a workflow or line up of speakers, switch cameras and camera angles, allow for switches and cuts with outside audio, move around participants into different places of the hang out and use lighting and angles to enhance someone’s background. Additionally, imagine if hosts and participants had the ability to more easily access avatars. Any of these tools would allow for richer and more interesting even delightful experiences online, but also allow for more easier large groups and community calls.
UI and customization can go hand in hand to create better, more enjoyable interactions online. But remember, a tool doesn’t have to exist for every scenario, it can work just for a few kinds of events. Imagine if a karaoke app actually better reflected offline karaoke, like rooms or a stage. Or rather, imagine if OBS allowed for a specific layout or 3d spaces for participants to move around, a way for participants to upload or change their avatars, or personas and had an ability for better audio. When designing new tools, keep in mind this space of intentionality and customization.

I take interest in many aspects of software development. Of particular interest are web-development and computer science. Currently, I have completed a few projects, and I am working on a major project; an application that will serve as a social media platform for a specified target user-group.
In my personal life I enjoy many wonderful hobbies. I am a martial artist, a musician, a social being, an avid reader, and a spiritual seeker. I find writing software to be very helpful with the spiritual process. It forces me to be more mindful. If I am not in a pseudo-meditative state when writing code, I will not solve the problems I am facing. I am still early in my career as a software engineer, but I will post my successes on here as I progress for all to see. Thank you for taking the time to visit my site.

Turn Your Android into a Wireless Flash Drive for PC or MAC
by Karanpreet SinghWell, if we look around, we will find that now almost every has a personal computer and smartphone. Sometimes, we want to transfer files from computer to our Android smartphone. Well, copying files from a computer to your Android device has always been pretty straightforward and for that lots of apps exist.
If you don’t want to rely upon the third party file transfer apps, you can also connect two devices via USB cables or Bluetooth. However, what if I tell you that you can move files without any wires? Well, it’s absolutely possible with WiFi file transfer apps. But, again that requires a desktop client and Android apps.
Recently, we came across an Android app that mounts your device as a network share folder on your PC. That means, your Android device will act as a network share folder and you can share files between devices in just one tap. To do that, you just need to install an Android app known as Pocketshare.
Turn Your Android into a Wireless Flash Drive for PC or MAC
So, in this article, we are going to share a detailed guide on how to use your Android phone as a wireless flash drive for Windows or Mac computer 2019. So, let’s check out how to use Android as a wireless flash drive on a PC.

PHENOMENON A film review by Vince Deehan Copyright 1996 Vince Deehan
Directed by John Turteltaub Written by Gerald DiPego Cast: John Travolta, Kyra Sedgwick, Forest Whitaker and Robert Duvall
PHENOMENON tells the story of a regular guy, George Malley (John Travolta) who sees a blinding light on the night of his 37th birthday and becomes a changed man. Previously George has been not especially intelligent, but after seeing the light he finds that he has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and finds that concepts and ideas that would have been far beyond his understanding are now very simple to comprehend. He starts to learn about science, begins elaborate experiments with solar energy, discovers new fuels, learns Portuguese and still his brain craves more knowledge !
George's best friend, the lonely Nate (Forest Whitaker) is overwhelmed at the changes he sees in his friend. Indeed, the whole town soon starts to become very wary of George when he almost miraculously finds a missing child, predicts an earthquake and alarmingly breaks a mirror without touching it. When George breaks a secret code that the military have been using, he invokes the might of the authorities who arrest him and treat him with great suspicion. Eventually the true reason for George's incredible new-found intelligence is revealed, and it turns out to be quite unexpected. Throughout all of this, George tries to gain the affections of Lace (played by Kyra Sedgwick), who lives alone with her two young children. Lace eventually gives in to George's advances, not least when she sees how much her kids take to him.
Many the reviews I've read for this film say that the film suddenly takes a turn for the worst in the final half hour. Whilst watching the film I was constantly anticipating this moment (a pitfall of reading too many reviews beforehand !). When this moment never seemed to come, for me at least, I was greatly relieved. I would guess that the explanation for George's new genius would be where some people started to feel cheated. There did seem to be a perceptible change of mood in the cinema when this moment came, but it was only because it was so unexpected and it took a while to adjust to what we had been watching in light of this new information. I had feared a much worse scenario, and I was quite relieved when things turned out the way they did !
This is definitely a feel-good movie, much in the same way that John Turteltaub's previous film, WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING was. There are a couple of points where the film teeters horribly close to overt sentimentality, but in general the tone of the film is so good natured that you forgive these lapses ! We all know when we are being manipulated by films, but a good film makes you really feel for its characters so that you don't feel that your being taken for a ride.  The only scene where I found myself cringing in my seat was the scene where Lace cuts George's hair and gives him a shave while the soundtrack cranks up the volume for a love song by Aaron Neville. This was horribly misjudged, in my opinion, and just plain embarrassing to watch. It was like they had inserted a music video into the middle of this lovely film. You suddenly realise that you are watching a film and all sense of reality goes up in smoke, albeit only for the duration of the scene. Still, only a minor fault in a great film.
The impressive cast all give great performances in this film. Nothing showy or elaborate, but gentle, natural performances that have you believing in the characters. These aren't the performances Oscars are made of, but they ought to be. John Travolta is wonderful, and has the audience in the palm of his hands from the first moment he appears. He is well supported by Forest Whitaker and Robert Duvall. Kyra Sedgwick is excellent as Lace, and delivers a wonderful performance as a single mum who is trying to give her kids a solid upbringing and is clearly frightened, at first, of getting involved with George Malley simply because she doesn't want to her kids to be hurt again if things didn't work out.
All in all, PHENOMENON is a great film that made me feel good to be alive. Now that's a great compliment.
