According to Obama, there are two parties now: The Democrats and the Impediments
**Written by Doug Powers
In 2005, President Obama said legislative tactics such as the filibuster were established by the Founding Fathers to protect the minority from a tyranny of the majority, but now those same things are speed bumps on the road to Progress:
In Seattle Sunday, Obama sounded a nostalgic personal note and offered a rare self-assessment while criticizing congressional Republicans as an "impediment" to governing.
So let's get this country back to the monarchy the Founders intended it to be! Wait, that was King George III. Never mind.
If you're drinking something, put it down before proceeding. Ready? Alright:
"I'm not a particularly ideological person," he said, adding that he still is passionate about giving people a fair shake, about the environment, and about working for peace and national security. "But I'm pretty pragmatic about how we get there."
In other news, Joe Biden claimed to be not particularly gaffe prone.

theres a reason its so cheap,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Blues Brothers Wayfarer Black Sun Glasses (Eyewear)
I wasn't expecting an awesome pair of sunglasses for such a low price but i also wasn't expecting such junk. The glasses came with scratches all over it. The glossy paint on the glasses makes it extremely noticeable that there are scratches. Im embarrassed to wear sunglasses that look like i bought them from the dollar store and dragged them behind my car for a day

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.4 /5 from 453 reviews
Relaxed and glamourous. Amazing spa and pool!
room had 2 queen beds, first nite we got in pretty late and didn't pull back comforter till late..bed had blood stains on sheets, we went to front desk and they apologized but it took them at least 30 min to send someone up to change by that time it was after midnite..they were supposed to credit us resort fee but when I went to check out and pay bill it was still on there. the pool is great and that's why we stay here but it was closed the 1 day we were supposed to enjoy it all day..kids and I were very disappointed..
Beautiful grounds - super nice people! Had one problem : we were awakened one morning around 4:30am by a sound of a drill - this "sound" lasted for an hour!! I did report it to the front desk & they said they would check into it!
It was OK okay stay. It was 4th of July weekend, and it was very crowded. I have stayed in many hotels, and I really don't think this one was worth the cost. If you like crowds and all the hoopla, then it will be a great stay for you. I prefer something a little more low key. I actually wished we would have stayed on the River walk. The hidden "leisure" fee at checkout was a big surprise. I really didn't appreciate that at all.
We were in town for a wedding and unfortunately we didn't get to relax and take advantage of all the hotel amenities offerred as much as we would have liked. But the atmosphere and kids pools were great!! In addition to the hotel price we had to pay another 62.00 a night for a resort fee which was a little much considering we didn't really get to take advantage of everything that was offered but the sights were beautiful and I would love to go back and stay again.

Angels minors: Calhoun, Cowart, Cron
Notes from the Angels' system Wednesday:
Orem: The Owlz have played 23 games this year, and in 10 of those games at least one team has scored 10 runs. Six pitchers appeared in yesterday's games, and these are their ERAs:
So are any Orem pitchers doing well this year? Yeah, there are a few.
Shane Waller, a college closer with University of West Florida, signed with the Angels as an undrafted free agent this year. He has pitched 10 innings in six relief appearances, and he has 16 strikeouts, three walks and a 1.74 ERA.
Logan Odom was the Angels' eighth-round pick this year, out of USC. He has started four games for the Owlz and been their most reliable starter, with a 1.84 ERA. He has 14 strikeouts in 14 innings, and in his last outing he struck out five and walked nobody, allowing one run in six innings. He's a right-hander, but he hasn't allowed a hit to a left-hander this year.
Juan Carlin was this year's 20th-round pick out of South Florida. He hasn't allowed a run yet in seven innings over five appearances. He's a flyball pitcher, so the Pioneer League could still swallow him, but he has eight Ks and two walks.
Anyway, on Wednesday, Kaleb Cowart had three hits, and C.J. Cron hit his fourth home run. He has hit in 11 of 12 games as a pro and has a 1.095 OPS.
Cedar Rapids: Max Russell and Daniel Tillman -- fourth- and second-round picks in 2010 -- combined on a shutout. Russell went seven innings, struck out four, walked one and lowered his ERA to 3.35.
Inland Empire: Kole Calhoun singled and walked twice; Casey Haerther had three hits; and Matt Long homered. Unhittable Hellweg started, and he allowed three runs but only walked one batter. That's just five walks in his last three starts. Yes, he has given up a lot of runs in that time, but getting the walks under control is the first and most important step to getting him somewhere useful.

I have been here a few times, I love the setting. Its very classy. If you are familiar with REAL chinese food you will appreciate this restaurant. I ate there this earlier this year but sadly that was my last visit as something criminal happened to me there. I used my credit card and my identity was stolen. Apparently the waiter that took my card had some device to copy the magnetic strip so that when he uses it he could use any identity with my strip. I got unexplainable charges made to my card after being at the restaurant last. Luckily my bank believed me and reimbursed my account. I called the restaurant to report the incident but the owner said that her waiters could hardly speak english must less have the smarts to copy magnetic strips on cards. Well I guess we see how much she thinks of her staff. Any who, the food is great, use cash if you can.

Prices are reasonable, with great lunch specials less than $20 for two. My mother and I both ordered items from the menu and received enough for 3-4 people. If you are looking for some good spicy spicy Chinese however, I don't think this is the place, I could not even feel the spice in their spicy dishes. The atmosphere was quite and relaxed setting, but somewhat formal making it perfect for lunch or dinner, couples, or groups. The wait staff was wonderful and prompt, and we received our food very quickly. Food is slightly on the salty side and very filling.

As anyone who has tried Pokémon Go recently is probably aware, Pokémon come in different types. A Pokémon's type affects where and when it appears, and the types of attacks it is vulnerable to. Some types, like Normal, Water and Grass are common; others, like Fairy and Dragon are rare. Many Pokémon have two or more types.
To get a sense of the distribution of Pokémon types, Joshua Kunst used R to download data from the Pokémon API and created a treemap of all the Pokémon types (and for those with more than 1 type, the secondary type). Johnathon's original used the 800+ Pokémon from the modern universe, but I used his R code to recreate the map for the 151 original Pokémon used in Pokémon Go.
Pokémon have many other attributes as well, including: weight, height, attack and defense ratings, hit points, and speed. It's hard to visualize so many variables in a 2-dimensional cart, so Joshua used a technique called t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding (implemented in the tsne package for R) to cluster similar Pokémon in a two-dimensional chart, and used R's image-handling capbilities to include avatars for each of the Pokémon.
This chart, which includes modern Pokémon along with the 151 originals in Pokémon Go, is colored according to each Pokémon's primary type. As you can see, the TSNE algorithm is super effective at clustering Pokémon according to type.
For more details on Joshua's analysis, including interactive versions of these charts and the R code that created them, follow the link below.

SQL Server 2016 has reached general availability recently and one of the top new capabilities it features is SQL Server R Services -- advanced analytics in-database with the R language. R has also been integrated into Power BI, allowing you to create fully integrated visualizations with the power of the R language. In this blog post I will show an example using R in SQL Server to create a model and batch score testing data, then use Power BI Desktop to create visualizations of the scored data.
Rather than moving your data from the database to an external machine running R, you can now run R scripts directly inside the SQL Server database - train your model inside the database with the full power of CRAN R packages plus the additional features of speed and scalability from the RevoScaleR package. And once you have a model, you can perform batch scoring inside the database as well.
But what do you do when it comes to visualizing this newly scored data? How would you create an interactive experience that supports sharing and embedding in applications? One great option is using PowerBi which gives you a quick and easy way to create visualizations that interact to help you explore your data. It also easily allows you to share your dashboards and reports, and you can embed the PowerBI visuals in your applications. And PowerBI can access your SQL data.
Here is an example of model building and scoring for Fraud Detection performed in SQL Server. The data contains 200,000 online transactions, with a second spreadsheet containing information for 9000 known fraud transactions. This template details the steps to prepare data, create a model and perform batch scoring. The template includes R code inside stored procedures that allows you to train and save the model and score test data using the model.
While this example covers a fairly small dataset, R Services can scale to billions of rows - learn more about performance tuning for these operations here.
Once the scoring is complete, you can access this data in either PowerBI or PowerBI Desktop to examine the scores. In PowerBI Desktop, use Get Data>SQL Server Database, and you can connect directly to a database table or can add a query to access the data you wish to visualize.
In this example the scored data is saved in the table sql_predict_score with just the account Id and the predicted scores, so we will add a query to join this with the rest of the input data.
This particular scoring was performed on test data so we also have the known values available to help us see how well the model has performed. We'll use these values in a few different displays to learn more about the scoring of the test data.
Note the first two bar charts - the first shows the known values, the second shows the predicted values. Since we are predicting a rare event (in our sample, only 372 of the 58,924 transaction) it would be difficult to view counts on the bar heights. So instead, the bar heights here represent the average transaction amount, an important attribute to track when dealing with fraud. Right away we see that the average transactions are slightly higher in the fraud transactions than the non-fraud.
While we can see some interesting information in this display, the real power (and fun) of Power BI is in the interactions. When you click on a bar in the graph, the rest of the display is filtered by that selection. For example, click on the first bar to display only the transactions predicted as fraud in all the other displays:
Likewise, click on the first bar of the second graph to view the displays for the 372 known fraud transactions.
In the first barchart the light bars show all transactions, while the darker bars in the middle now show just the fraud transactions. Note from the table that the miss-classified non-fraud transactions represent just 17 cases, while 355 cases were correctly classified In both instances, the average amount for fraud transactions are higher than the average transaction amounts for all data.
In Power BI Desktop, you can also create visualizations with R directly in the report - in this example I've used R to create both the Box & Whisker plot and the Density Plot using trellis. For example:
The integration of R into SQL Server 2016 and Power BI makes it easy for you to create and share rich visualizations with advanced insights and predictions for your business use-case.
Editors Note: The Power BI Service now also supports reports and dashboards with R visuals.
I'm a regular user of Amazon Video: as someone who spends a fair bit of time on planes, it's great to be able to download some of my favourite shows (hello, Orphan Black and Vikings) and catch up on episodes during the trip. Amazon Video has a useful feature, too: if you forget the name of a character, or if you see an an actor and wonder what other things they've been in, you can press pause and see a list of the actors appearing in the scene:
The feature is called X-Ray, and I just learned from Curious Gnu that you can download the data files that provide the X-Ray data, as long as you have an Amazon Video subscription. The process isn't trivial (it involves using Developer Tools in Chrome to exploit a loophole in the streaming process), but at the end of the day you end up with a JSON file whcih you can easily read into R with the jsonlite package and then plot the data using any of R's visualization tools. For example, Curious Gnu created this visualization of the screentime of major Star Wars: The Force Awakens characters.
Of course, another way of collecting data like this is to analyze the movie script, but most scripts aren't readily available online (and even then, the format isn't exactly standardized). The advantage of using Amazon X-Ray JSON files is that the data is already structured, and are available for more movies and series ... for as long as Amazon leaves the downloading loophole open.
For more details on how to download Amazon X-Ray data and more examples of movie data visualizations from Curious Gnu, follow the link below.

Congratulations to Peter Aldhous and Charles Seife of Buzzfeed News, winners of the 2016 Data Journalism Award for Data Visualization of the Year. They were recognized by their reporting for Spies in the Sky, which analyzed FAA air traffic records to visulize the domestic surveillance activities of the US government.
Aldhouse and Seife used the R language to create the visualiations, so this award is a testament both to their top-notch reporting skills and the flexibility of the R language to process an unusual and complex data source, and then render the results into a compelling visual studio. Kudos.
Simon Roger reviewed the DJA award winners and also offered his commendations:
Buzzfeed's Peter Aldhous and Charles Seife won the prize for dataviz of the year for their project on light aircraft/helicopter surveillance over America, Spies in the Skies. The judges said it was a "fantastic example of the layers and depth that only visualization can bring to a story". It works because it's more than just beautiful visuals — it adds another dimension to the story and makes it stronger. It's also not a standalone visual, but part of a much bigger piece of work reporting the issue in forensic detail.

Randy George, an expert in web map applications, has been fascinated with computer graphics (especially maps) since the early '80s. For much of that time, he says, the technology for mapping has been pretty static:
The main stay of web mapping applications for the last couple of decades has been three tier: Model – SQL, View – web UI, and Controller – server code. There are many variations on this theme: models residing in image tile pyramids, SQL Server, PostGIS, or Oracle; controller server code as Java, C#, or PHP. The visible action is on the viewer side. Html5 with ever expanding JavaScript libraries like jQuery, bootstrap, and angular.js make life interesting, while node.js is pushing JavaScript upstream to the controller.
But now, with the advent of the R language, things have changed. "R changes things in the geospatial world", says Randy, and R has "evolved into a useful platform for ad hoc spatial analysis". In his blog post, "The R Project for Maps", he gives several examples of using R for creating maps, including this one of using the leaflet package to create an interactive map of census data:
Randy also gives several other examples of interactive R graphics behond maps, including this weather chart with an interactive slider based on the dygraphs package:
I've only included static screenshots of the various maps and charts above, so be sure to follow the link to Randy's post linked below for the interactive versions with the R code used to create them.

As more settlements in Texas and France are impacted by severe flooding, this is a good time to thank the hydrologists at the NOAA who forecast river level rises in advance and give residents in affected areas time to move to higher ground. Along with topgraphic, rainfall, and weather data, monitoring stations maintained by NOAA and the USGS along rivers provide critical real-time information about river levels. NOAA scientists access this data using the dataRetrieval package for R, which they then incorporate into flood prediction models and use to generate animations like this one of the flood of the Delaware in February this year:
According to the AdventuresInData blog, which posted the above animation (creating using R's animation package):
The plot shows the discharge per drainage area (cfs/square mile) responding to rainfall. Tributaries cause unequal response initially, but then the entire system settles into a flow wave rolling downstream.
Note that "river miles" measures from the river's mouth, so the flood surge moves from right to left in the animation. More details at the link below.

R is a powerful system for creating data visualizations. In fact, R gives you so many options for creating charts that it can be hard to know the best way to communicate effectively. To help you present your data as effectively as possible using R, there's a new (and free) e-book available to download: Effective Graphs with Microsoft R Open. Written by the mother-daughter team of Naomi Robbins (author of Creating More Effective Graphs and Forbes contributor) and Joyce Robbins (sociologist and R programmer specializing in data visualization)
The book gives plenty of examples of common (and some not-so-common) data visualizations, with suggestions on how to customize them for the best effect. All of the R code for the charts in included in the book, and also available on GitHub for easy copy-pasting. The chart types discussed include:
The examples were done using Microsoft R Open, but since it's 100% compatible with R the code works with any relatively recent R version.
Naomi and Joyce presented several examples from their e-book in a recent webinar (presented by Microsoft), and fielded lots of interesting questions from the audience. If you'd like to see the recorded webinar and also receive a copy of the slides and the e-book, follow the link below to register to receive the materials via email.

It's not an overstatement to say that, at least for me personally, Edward Tufte's book The Visual Display of Quantitative Information was transformative. Reading this book got me and, I feel confident saying, many many other data scientists passionate about visualizing data. This is the book that popularized Minard's chart depicting Napoleon's march on Russia, introduced the world to the concepts of chartjunk and the data-ink ratio, and demonstrated many times over the value of telling stories with data (as opposed to merely displaying it).
Tufte's book was also a direct influence on the graphics system of the S Language (and also its successor, R): it was the first statistical programming language where Tufte's concepts could easily be expressed in small amounts of code (even if his principles weren't fully adhered to in the default settings). So it's great to find Lukasz Piwek's Tufte in R page, where many of the examples from The Visual Display are recreated in base R code (and sometimes using lattice and ggplot2 as well). Here for example is Tufte's famous rugplot, where the axis tickmarks are replaced by dashes at the data points, giving a sense of the marginal distributions while also marking the data:
And here is Tufte's original sparklines chart: minimal time series presented as small multiples of individual data units (and now all the range in business intelligence tools and spreadsheets).
Each of the examples comes with corresponding R code, usually just a dozen lines or so. Even the document itself is laid out in the style of Tufte's book, with footnotes presented as sidenotes in the margins of the text, right where they're referenced. (RStudio has an RMarkdown style for Tufte handouts like this.) Check out all the examples at the link below.
Lukasz Piwek: Tufte in R
by Joseph Rickert
Basically, there are two kinds of graphics or plots you can make from a data set: (1) those that allow you to see what is going on with the data, and (2) those you make to communicate what you have found to someone else. When making the first kind, you want to select plots that will enable you to see as much as possible while taking great care not to fool yourself. With the second kind, you ought to select plots that make the features of the data you want to communicate seem obvious. They should be focused on the story you are trying to tell, be free from clutter and have an impact on your target audience.
Anthony Unwin's Graphical Data Analysis with R (CRC Press 2015) is a very good read that thoroughly discusses the process and principles behind plots of the first kind while offering considerable guidance about producing those of the second kind. In 14 chapters that extend to nearly 300 pages, Unwin makes superb use of the R language to develop the principles of Graphical Data Analysis (GDA) while demonstrating the interplay of plot making and basic statistical inference that together make for a comprehensive, exploratory analysis of a data set.
The Preface and Chapter 1 set the scene by defining the scope of GDA, illustrating some of its basic principles and offering a new metaphor that ought to replace the tired and misleading idea that good graphics let you "drill down" into the data. This mechanical notion assumes you know where to drill and possess a clear idea of what you are looking for. In stark contrast, Unwin offers the metaphor of a photographer who takes many photographs of an object from multiple angles and in different lighting conditions in order to "grasp a whole object". Throughout the book Unwin hammers home his central idea that many graphics of a dataset should be drawn "maybe even a large number of them, where each contributes something to the overall picture".
Chapter 2 presents a fairly comprehensive review of the relevant literature for GDA acknowledging the contributions of Cleveland, Cook, Murrell, Wickham and many others and pointing out software, websites, texts and other resources that a student should find helpful. Because, as the author explains, "There is no complex theory about graphics" it is the practice of experts and successful exemplars that comprise the foundations of the subject. I found this sketch of GDA's background helpful in coming to see GDA as an emergent discipline in its own right.
Chapters 3 through 7 discuss graphics for continuous variables, categorical data, looking for structure and associations, multivariate continuous data and multivariate categorical data. These chapters comprise the core of the text, describing most of the basic plots available in the R arsenal through numerous examples with multiple data sets. Chapter 6 on Investigating Multivariate Continuous Data provides as thorough a discussion parallel coordinate plots as you are likely to find anywhere.
Not only does Unwin describe the logic and technique of the plots in these core chapters but he is careful to provide thoughtful and measured interpretations. Consider plots 5.5 and 5.6 and their captions, the second and third plots in a series of three describing the geyser data set.
data(geyser, package="MASS")
ggplot(geyser, aes(duration, waiting)) + geom_point() +
FIGURE 5.5: The same scatter plot with bivariate density contours. There is evidence of three concentrations of data, two univariate outliers (one eruption with low duration and one with a high waiting time until the next eruption), and one bivariate outlier.
par(mar=c(3.1, 4.1, 1.1, 2.1))
with(geyser, hdr.boxplot.2d(duration, waiting,
show.points=TRUE, prob=c(0.01,0.05,0.5,0.75)))
FIGURE5.5: Another version of the scatterplot, but now with highest density regions based on a bivariate density estimate. There is less evidence of three data concentrations than in the previous plot and there is a slightly different set of possible outliers.
Of the many possible examples from the book, I have selected these plots to illustrate Unwin's style because they show how a simple scatter plot enhanced with sophisticated, "built in" mathematical tools can illuminate the complexities of the data. They also serve to illustrate the value of Unwin's injunction that a good graphic ought to be accompanied by a thought-through caption and highlight the ephemeral boundary between seeing and interpreting.
Chapter 8 - Getting and Overview, Chapter 9 - Graphics and Data Quality: How Good are the Data?, Chapter 10 - Comparisons, Comparisons, Comparisons and Chapter 12 – Ensemble Graphics and Case Studies together comprise a mini course on Exploratory Data Analysis.
Chapter 11 – Graphics for Time Series provides some good advice and proposes a few alternative suggestions for plotting time series data including the use of parallel coordinated plots and calendar plots (see the openair package). It unusual to find any extended discussion on plotting time series data.At the very least this chapter summarizes a good amount of common sense wisdom.
Chapter 13 – Some Notes on Graphics with R provides a short discussion of R's graphic systems along with tips on R coding for graphics and offers some suggestions for dealing with large data sets.
Chapter 14 provides a very brief summary of the text and a short assessment of the strengths and weakness of GDA itself.
The text has some nice pedagogical features that make it appealing for self study. Every chapter is preceded by a short summary of what the chapter is about, ends with a list of the main points covered and offers some exercises that extend the material covered in the text, often pointing to additional R packages. I particularly enjoyed Unwin's brief historical references that accompany examples drawn from the HisData package like the context surrounding the Charge of the Light Brigade.
Graphical Data Analysis with R will certainly be valuable to anyone wanting to create better graphics in R. It is sufficiently rich in well coded, ggplot2 examples that it will serve as a good reference even after the basic principles have been assimilated. But, in my view, the book has more to offer than examples and ought to be read more closely, and more widely. Although the examples primarily make use of the ggplot2 system, the principles that they illustrate are much more general making them useful to anyone with some experience using any robust statistical plotting system including base R graphics, the lattice package, Python, Matlab and others. Also, as I mentioned above, the text provides a fairly complete discussion of exploratory data analysis and could easily be used as the basis for short course in this subject.
Moreover, Unwin's careful treatment of the plots he draws, his use of multiple data sets, and his ongoing discussion of the interplay between graphical analysis and statistical inference make Graphical Data Analysis with R a suitable text for alternative first course in statistics. To my mind, a future scientist or intelligent consumer of plots and statistical information would be better served by a modern computational approach to working with data than most standard introductory courses in statistics which, in the end, amount to little more than a futile attempt to explain what a p-value isn't.
Who can say how any individual text will be read and valued in these days when e-books dilute the integrity of any printed texts by merging them into the rushing stream of online content? Even so, I think that many readers will find that Graphical Data Analysis with R illuminates a shadowy corner of statistical analysis and stands a good chance of becoming recognized as a foundational text for GDA.

Who does not hate being stopped and given a traffic ticket? Invariably, we think that something is not fair that we got it and everyone else did not. I am no different, and living in the SF Bay Area, I have often wondered if I could get the data about traffic tickets, particularly since there may be some unusual patterns.
While I could not find one for any data for the SF Bay Area, I supposed I could get some vicarious pleasure out of analyzing it for some place for which I could get data. As luck would have it, I did find something. It turns out that Montgomery County in Maryland does put all the traffic violation information online. Of course, they take out personally identifiable information, but do put out a lot of other information. If any official from that county is reading this, thanks for putting it online! Hopefully, other counties follow suit.
By the standards of the data sizes I have worked with, this is rather small; it is a little over 800K records, though it has about 35 columns, including latitude and longitude. I find it convenient to park the data in a relational database, analyze it using SQL first, and then get slices of it into R.
In this post, I'll be using Microsoft SQL Server to import and prepare the traffic violations data, and then use R to visualize the data.
If you are unfamiliar with SQL, this SQL tutorial has been around for a long time, and this is where I got started with SQL. Another thing I find convenient is to use an ETL tool. ETL, if you are not already familiar with it, stands for Extract-Transform-Load, and is as pervasive a utility in IT infrastructures in companies as plumbing and electrical wiring are in homes, and often just as invisible, and noticed only when unavailable. If you are determined to stay open source, you can use PostgreSQL for a database (I prefer PostgreSQL over MySQL, but you can choose whatever you become comfortable with) and say, Talend for the ETL. For this exercise, I had access to Microsoft SQL Server's 2016 preview, and ended up using it. An interesting thing is that it already has an ETL tool called SQL Server Integration Services, and a wizard that makes it extremely convenient to do it all in one place.
Now, why do I spend so much time suggesting all these, when you can very easily just download a file, read it into R and do whatever you want with it? In a nutshell, because of all the goodies you get with it. For example, you could easily detect problems with the data as part of the load, and run SQL. You can handle data sizes that can't fit in memory. And at least with MS SQL, it gets better. You have an easy wizard that you can use to load the data, and figure out problems with it even before you load it. And with MS SQL, you can also run R from within it, on a large scale.
Here are the fields in the table. The query is quite simple, and accesses the meta data which is available in every relational database.

The last five columns were created by me. It is trivial to create new columns in SQL Server (or any other relational database) and having them computed each time a new row is added.
With RODBC/RJDBC, it is easy to get data from an RDBMS and do what we want with it. Here is an interesting plot of violations by race and if they concentrate in certain areas.
The code to create the above chart uses, as you may have guessed, the ggmap library. Installing ggmap automatically includes the ggplot2 library as well. In order to plot this, we first get the geocodes for Montgomery county, which is easy to do. First, we get the geocode for the location, and then use the get_map function to get the map. Actually, the get_map function also has a zoom level, that we can play with to get the appropriate zoom if we need to zoom in or out instead of using the default.
Here is another one on violation concentrations related to the time of day (the scale is hours from midnight: 0 is midnight and 12 is noon):
The code to do this is as follows:
It looks like there are few violations are really small in the wee hours of the morning. How about violations by month by vehicle?
Looks like it is mostly cars, but there are some light duty trucks as well. But how did we get the numerical month of the year? Again, in SQL, it becomes easy to do:
ALTER TABLE <table name> ADD COLUMN num_month_of_year AS datepart(month,[Date Of Stop])
After that, it is a routine matter of plotting a bar chart, after using RODBC/RJDBC to get the data from the database.
ggplot(data=alldata, aes(num_month_of_year)) + geom_bar(aes(color=VehicleType), fill=factor(VehicleType))
When we look at the Make of the cars, we see how messed up that attribute is. For example, I have seen HUYAND, HUYND, HUYNDAI, HYAN, HYANDAI, HYN, HYND, HYNDAI. I am pretty sure I even saw a GORRILLA, and have no idea what it might mean. That does not make for a very good plot, or for that matter any analysis. Can we do better? Not really, unless we have reference data. We could build one using the car makes and models that we know of, but that is a nontrivial exercise.
A little SQL goes a long way, particularly if the data is very large and needs to be sampled selectively. For example, here is a query:
The square brackets [] are an MS SQL syntax to work with fields that are separated by spaces and other special characters. To practise SQL itself, you don't have to get an RDBMS first. In R itself, there is the sqldf library, where you can practice your SQL if you don't have an actual database. For example:
bymonth <- sqldf("select num_month_of_year, sum(frequency) as frequency from res group by num_month_of_year")
Since I have been recently introduced to what I call the "rx" functions from Microsoft R Server (the new name for Revolution Analytics' R), I decided to check it against what I normally use, which is
ctree from the party package and of course the glm. My intent was not to get insights from the data here; it was to simply see if the rx functions would run slightly better. So I simply tried to relate the number of violations to as many variables as I could use.
The rx functions (in my limited testing) worked when the CRAN R functions did not. Note that I did not go looking for places where one outperformed the other. This was simply to figure out what was doable with the rx functions.
Finally, we can call R from within SQL Server too. Here is an example:
It is no surprise that the least violations are during the wee hours of the morning, but one surprise for me was the vehicle brand names. Of course, one can create a reference set of names and use it to clean this data, so that one can try and see what brands have a higher chance of violations, but that is not an elegant solution. Chances are that as we get such data, the errors in human inputs will be a serious issue to contend with.
Hopefully, this article also illustrates how powerful SQL can be in manipulating data, though this article barely scratched the surface on SQL usage.

E-M5 and Niagara Falls
May 11, 2013
In June of last year, I began the journey of capturing Niagara Falls using video. The goal was to use the backdrops of this magnificent place as visual stimulus for my musical work entitled "Storms Within."
All video was taken with the Olympus E-M5. The timelapse clips were captured with the Sony NEX-5N.
I provide a list of the lenses used at the end of the video.
The merits of the E-M5 are many but for capturing video, the 5-axis stabilizer allowed me a tremendous amount of mobility—without the tripod for the most part.
Anyway, here is the link to the video: http://youtu.be/NkLEg0la6kc

Is there any "right" way to break up with someone?
For me, it's probably right up there with the most unpleasant things you can do. I'd happily undergo a root canal without anaesthesia before I told someone that I "just wasn't that into them". If it's clear that they're feeling more or less the same way, it's not such a big deal, but when one party is quite keen and the other wants out, there's no easy way to break the bad news.
In high school, there was less beating around the bush. "You're dumped," would generally suffice, or perhaps he'd tell his best mate instead and the news would trickle down through your classmates until word finally got back to you, the now-ex-girlfriend.
Worse perhaps was a practice that sadly, some don't outgrow as teenagers. The confrontation-averse would choose to simply ignore the problem - the problem being the unwanted boyfriend or girlfriend - until the said problem finally stopped making unreturned phone calls and texts and got the message that the relationship was over. It's probably my least favourite version of a breakup, and one that I've never subjected anyone else to. If you're going to end it with someone, tell them straight out, and don't make the poor sod go through that undignified, soul-destroying process of checking their phone every five minutes for the message or call that will never come.
I remember seeing a guy when I was about 18 or 19. It was a brief relationship but I was totally infatuated, and then, a few weeks in, he stopped returning my calls. Regrettably, I went to his house to see him, clinging to the delusional hope that perhaps he'd lost his phone. He wasn't home but his Mum sat me down and told me what Dean couldn't - he wasn't really ready for new girlfriend. I got dumped by Dean's Mum.
To his credit, Dean followed up his Mum's intervention with a very nice handwritten apology letter and a bunch of flowers - Lois' suggestion, I'm sure, but it softened the blow all the same. When he started dating someone else a couple of weeks later, I realised that Lois had fed me a load of BS. Not ready for a new girlfriend, pffft. Dean just wasn't that into me.
Would I have preferred to have been told the truth? Probably not. I don't think it would have made me feel any better about myself, and I think that sometimes a little white lie - "I'm not really over my ex"; "I think I just need to focus on me for a while" is infinitely kinder than telling someone the truth - that they have bad breath, that you met someone better-looking, or that their skills in the bedroom are not up to scratch.
A friend of mine, Tara, told me about a recent experience she'd had with a guy she'd been on a few dates with. They didn't sleep together, but when they finally kissed she didn't feel any chemistry. A shame, given that he was perfect on paper, she said. Dropping Tara home at the end of their last date, he'd asked when he was going to see her again. "Ummmm..." she said. "I'll have a look in the diary and get back to you." Tara knew there wouldn't be a next time, but didn't have the guts to say that to his face. The next day, she wrote him an email telling him that although she thought he was great, she wasn't really "feeling it".
His response surprised her. "Thanks for letting me know," he said, "but um, sh*t way to do it."
Tara conceded that cutting it off via email wasn't the most courageous thing she'd done, but at the same time wondered if, after just four dates, she owed him anything more than that? "It's not like we were officially going out or anything," she told me. "And at least it was an email, that's better than a text message, right?"
I told Tara I'd done much worse, breaking up with a long-term boyfriend via email after several face-to-face attempts to end it always resulted in him talking me into staying. In email, I figured he had it in writing, and could re-read it to confirm what he had trouble hearing. It also gave me the opportunity to be far more eloquent than I would have been in person, and more comprehensible, without the snotty crying fits that accompanied my efforts to do it while looking at his sad face.
We met up again afterwards to talk it through properly, but in that situation, I felt that the email was a necessary prelude to the tête-à-tête.
What do you think? Is email - or even text - ever an acceptable way to break up with someone? How honest should we be when telling the dumped why we're not staying around?

The Redeemer
A Harry Hole Novel (6)
Jo Nesbø & Don Bartlett
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
A fantastically gripping thriller from the best-selling author of The Snowman.
Christmas shoppers stop to hear a Salvation Army concert on a crowded Oslo street. A gunshot cuts through the music and the bitter cold: one of the singers falls dead, shot in the head at point-blank range. Harry Hole—the Oslo Police Department's best investigator and worst civil servant—has little to work with: no suspect, no weapon, and no motive. But Harry's troubles will multiply. As the search closes in, the killer becomes increasingly desperate, and Harry's chase takes him to the most forbidden corners of the former Yugoslavia.
Yet it's when he returns to Oslo that he encounters true darkness: among the homeless junkies and Salvationists, eagerly awaiting a savior to deliver them from misery—whether he brings new life or immediate death.
With its shrewdly vertiginous narrative, acid-etched characters, and white-hot pace, The Redeemer is resounding proof of Jo Nesbø's standing as one of the best crime writers of our time.

The Redeemer
For a Nesbo book, this was an easy read and I really enjoyed it. The snow fell in my den as I read through the scenes. A surprise twist at the end gave Hole a new dimension. loved it!
Good story with the usual twists
It got a bit tedious somewhere in the middle where the story just didn't go anywhere and I was getting a bit annoyed. But nesbo tied it all together in the end... Glad he isn't losing steam!!

Compared to recent Disney releases such as Cinderella II - Dreams Come True (Special Edition), 101 Dalmatians 2, and all of the other poorly done and profit-driven knockoffs, this film is an original gem. The animation is excellent, the characters are interesting and fun to watch, and the overall story is compelling, as well as very fast-paced. The movie certainly is suitable for kids as young as three or four, despite some of the more esoteric, non-sensical plot twists. We've got spectacular scenery, gadgets, battles, action, and explosions and fire, more than enough to keep the little ones fully engaged throughout. No sex, no drugs, no profanity, and only a little bit of blood (although the bad guys most certainly do get killed, neither graphically nor gloatingly).
Most impressive in this film is the artistic vision. Atlantis provides a fantastic opportunity to be creative, and the animators do not disappoint. The relatively modern (1907) setting allows some technical and scientific freedom for the animators, which was taken full advantage of. Everything is huge, massive in scale, from the steamship and its submarine, to the Leviathan guardian, to the tunnels and artifacts of Atlantis. For me, this is the most enjoyable part of the film, simply looking at the landscapes and backgrounds the animators have provided as backdrops for the action.Read more ›
This is not your usual, happy-go-lucky, sing-a-long style movie that Disney is known for proliferating. It takes me back to Disney's Black Cauldron in terms of mood and feel. It is somewhat dark, eerie, and action packed. But the characters are fun and interesting, and Michael J. Fox does a great job as Milo Thatch.
It is true that the story is set as a period piece in the early 1900's, but I don't agree with one viewer's gripe that historical accuracy was not maintained. Don't fault Disney for not being a historical educator. They're not! In response to "How are children to know the difference between what is real and what isn't if adults don't show them?", my first reaction was to think who would intrepret animation as reality? It's moving ink! It is not reality! It's entertainment. So what if you cross time periods? Or if the weapons and objects in Atlantis weren't invented for decades afterwards? By this logic, Rambo was a more educational movie because he used the weapons of the time?
And as far as "If you want to teach your children to smoke buy this movie." - Gimme a break. I'd like to believe that parents play a larger role in child development than to blame TV for how their kids turn out.
Great movie though. If you think you'd enjoy the action and adventure of Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark in an animated form, this is for you.
I also love the character Milo, voiced by a personal favorite of mine: Michael J. Fox. He is smart and brave and believes in doing what is right. Michael J. Fox's voice made this character wonderful. Also great was the voice and wise-cracks (most of his funny lines were ad-libbed in this movie) of Jim Varney. Regretably, this was his last roll but he made it very memorable. In fact, if you pay attention to his character you will find that the last two lines of this movie were done by somebody else after his passing. :(
The story is pretty good. Milo, a linguist and grandson of a famous archeologist, joins a team with a wide range of skills (and backgrounds) in the search for Atlantis. After going through the adventure of finding Atlantis, Milo makes friends with the inhabitants but finds that the search for Atlantis was not an exploritory mission, but a mission of greed. Milo and a few of the friends he picks up on the way must fight for what is right.
By far, this is a great and humorous film and should be picked up by every family with children. 5 stars, no questions!!!
