very nice. is this made from real world sat-images and then re-coloured?
Here's another project of mine:
I learned a lot piecing together the satellite imagery, and I learned a number of things that I want to do differently with future projects, but I'm fairly happy with this one as it is. I still have a few ideas with the frame elements, but I'm done with the terrain.
Just for fun, here it is mapped onto a sphere - I might try rendering them properly in 3ds Max sometime.

this looks very nice. I like the cloud forms and how you use them. Rep!
Nice stuff! I like the storywork that goes into them, makes it more alive for me. Personally am a fan of lighter coloured maps, but that's just preference. Repped!
Great looking work.
If I might ask. What software are you using for this? I ask, because am looking for something that will allow me to create a solar system for my game world, including allowing me to adjust the size of the planet, add or subtract satellites, generate stars for constellations etc. Any suggestions?

The Ocean Biogeographic Information System USA (OBIS-USA), a program of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) Core Science Analytics and Synthesis (CSAS), is the US national node of the Ocean Biogeographic Information System (OBIS). Meant to serve research and natural resource management needs, OBIS-USA brings together marine biological occurrence data in a standard format, with metadata, web-based discovery and download, and web service access for users and applications.
Data sources are US government (including Federal, State and local) agencies, academic, and non-governmental organizations. The data represent species name, location and date, plus additional detail as available. OBIS-USA partners with several federal agencies to play a role in the full life cycle of marine data, from origination, through discovery, dissemination and applications, to archiving at National Ocean Data Center.
OBIS-USA goes beyond the limits traditionally encountered in biodiversity data. It configures the data and web services to enable integration with other data types, such as physical oceanography, water chemistry, climate, and other types. It can integrate application-critical details such as absence, abundance, effort, method, and tracking. Over time, OBIS-USA aims to further identify and innovate yet more categories of important biological observations and details.
For a more in-depth description of OBIS-USA see the OBIS-USA FGDC metadata record.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) – The American calendar may mark twelve days into January, but one community in Fort Wayne is just now celebrating the beginning of the New Year.
Sunday marked the beginning of the Karen New Year, which is celebrated through the country of Burma and in refugee communities around the world.
It is the 11th year of the celebration for the Karen community in Fort Wayne, which is said to be home to one of the largest Burmese populations outside of the country.
Festivities were held at South Side High School Sunday afternoon. They included the singing of national anthems, dancing, and a meal. Organizers say it holds true to tradition.
"Karen People, they live in the mountain and they're doing farming and they're growing like a paddie and fruit so whenever they get the first fruit then they come together and they eat together and they celebrate the new year," said Sar Doh, the Karen Community Organizer.
Doh says he hopes this celebration will help the youth in the community to remember their heritage and traditions.

Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA) has recently received USD56m from Bill Melinda Gates Foundation to support millions of poor, smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa to improve seed through higher yields and incomes.
AGRA report made available to The Guardian yesterday has said that the funds will also help the farmers to increase productivity, food crops, and address poverty and hunger in sub-Saharan Africa.
According to Maila, AGRA's Programme for Africa's Seed Systems (PASS) began five years ago to produce disease resistant and higher yielding seeds for important food crops.
The programme has already achieved significant successes with majority of farmers who accessed the new seed reporting dramatic increases in their harvests.
"In Africa, farmers have largely not benefited from improved seeds due to a lack of localised crop breeding and efficient, dependable seed delivery system," it said.
"And so crop yields in most of Africa have remained one-third of those produced by farmers in other developing regions of the worlds," said Dr Joe DeVries, PASS programme director.
By 2017, PASS will add 40 new private, independent seed companies to the 60 already established under the first phase of the programme, the report said.
It added that the programme's aim is to achieve yearly production of 200,000 metric tonnes of improved seed for food crops such as maize, cassava, and legumes to support 10 million smallholder farmers.
PASS will also fund the training of an additional 5,000 agro-dealers to set up individually-owned and operated seed and fertilizer shops in remote areas.
These efforts will build structures to get improved seed in the hands of smallholder farmers to increase production and decrease dependence on aid, it said.
The announcement by the foundation of nearly USD200m in grants for the world, brings its total commitment to agriculture to more than USD2bn since the programme began in 2006.
"If you care about the poorest, you care about agriculture," said Bill Gates, co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
"Investments in agriculture are the best weapons against hunger and poverty, and they have made life better for billions of people," he said.
"The international agriculture community needs to be more innovative, coordinated and focused to really be effective in helping poor farmers grow more," he added.
"If we can do that, we can dramatically reduce suffering, and build self-sufficiency," he said.

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

A 26-point win on the road is a 26-point win on the road. While it might have gotten off to a bumpy start, Oklahoma State managed to feel out Washington State and pick up a 39-13 win at Qwest Stadium in Seattle on Saturday afternoon. Coming into the game, two of the biggest questions for OSU was how would the offensive playcalling go and how would the defense look? The results were mixed on both, but there were largely more positives than negatives. In the early going, OSU's offense played it very conservatively, feeling out the Cougars to see what kind of a look they'd bring on defense. Later on, things opened up a bit and the Pokes got to moving the ball. They ended up with nearly identical yardage through the air and on the ground - 193 and 174, respectively. Kendall Hunter had a nice day, running for 107 yards on 23 carries and two touchdowns. As for Zac Robinson, he went 20-of-27 for 193 yards passing and an interception. On the receiving side, Dez Bryant reeled in seven catches for 90 yards and Brandon Pettigrew caught six passes for 43 yards.The defensive unit fared pretty well. In the first half, they had the clamps locked down tight on the Cougars (0-1), pitching a shutout going into the half. The second half didn't fare much better for the WSU offense, as it was only able to muster two scores. For the game, OSU allowed only 196 yards. Quarterback Gary Rodgers had a very rough outing, completing 12-of-24 passes for only 82 yards with a touchdown and interception. The highlight from the defensive side was likely the safety forced by Jeray Chatham to put the Pokes up 12-0 in the second quarter. The big difference-making moments in the game came on special teams. The OSU returners shredded Wazzu for a 42-yard punt return by Bryant and a 90-yard kickoff return by Perrish Cox. The Cougars had issues covering OSU all day long in this area. So the Cowboys go on the road to open the season (again), but are able to come away with a pretty solid win. It's a good way to start the season off, as now OSU legitimately has a chance at a 4-0 start going into Big 12 Conference play in several weeks. The next test for the Pokes is Houston, the home opener for OSU. That game is set for a 6 p.m. start at Boone Pickens Stadium. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member.

Approximately 200 soldiers from Fort Carson were welcomed home late Saturday night after a 10-month deployment to Afghanistan.
Family and friends gathered at Butt Army Airfield at 10 p.m. to welcome home the soldiers from the regiment known as Task Force Gunfighter.
Fort Carson's 1st Battalion, 2nd Aviation Regiment provided air support and flew medical evacuations in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.

CFP: Migration Matters: Immigration, Homelands, and Border Crossings in Europe and the Americas (Netherlands) (11/15/07; 6/25/08
full name / name of organization:
Dr. Eleftheria Arapoglou
contact email:
6th MESEA Conference
June 25–28, 2008, Leiden University, The Netherlands
Call for Papers
Largely driven by economics, migration today is a global and globalizing phenomenon that renders national borders obsolete and calls into question the viability of nation states and national identities. Yet precisely because it undermines national structures, migration also has contributed to the reinvention of the historically highly problematic concept of "homelands" and the reconstruction of increasingly impenetrable borders. It is, moreover, in local situations and contexts that the impact of global migration is experienced, debated, and contested most directly and urgently. This conference, then, aims to focus on the ways in which migration matters locally as well as transnationally and globally, in the realms of politics and culture, history and sociology, economics and law, language, literature and the arts in Europe and the Americas. The following list of topics is meant to be suggestive rather than restrictive:
► Migration and the reinvention of (national and transnational, real and imaginary) "homelands" and/or the reconstruction of (external and internal, national, ethnic and racial, cultural and mental, political and economic) borders
► Global migrations and fluid geographies in terms of physical mappings and shifting populations
► Migration and national/ethnic/cultural/aesthetic border crossings
► Migration and modernization
► Immigration debates in various national contexts
► Images of the host countries in countries/continents of migratory origin
► Immigration restrictions and human rights; legal and extra-legal status of immigrants
► Circulation and impact of migrant peoples and cultures in specific rural and urban spaces; cultural diversity in local societies
► New immigrant literatures as world and/or national literature; representation in and impact on regional cultures, literatures, media, and arts
► Macrosociological analyses of migration and globalization processes; rethinking the sociology of literature
► Cultural production (literature, film, visual art, performance, music, blog-culture, web-art) by or about migrants
► Migration and the reinvention of religious identities
► Emerging identities/identity fashioning; ethnic refashioning: conflict and/or reconciliation
► Historical case studies of migrancy and diaspora; evolving diaspora cultures
► Migration and gender
► Migration and race/racialization
► Forced migration and historical/contemporary slavery or bonded labor
►Migration and linguistic diversity
►Immigration and educational reformation(s)

Esther, a mother of four is afraid her third born daughter carol,5, might end up becoming malnourished.
Carol, who will be joining standard one next year seems to have no interest in food at all. Her mother has tried everything she could think of to make her daughter like food, including trying different varieties but all in vain.
Carol eats very little food and as a result, remains the thinnest of Esther's four children. While Esther provides her with a balanced diet, she fears her daughter may end up lacking the necessary nutrients her body needs for growth.
Malnutrition is a broad term which refers to both under-nutrition and over-nutrition. Individuals are malnourished, or suffer from under-nutrition if their diet does not provide them with adequate calories and proteins for maintenance and growth, or they cannot fully utilize the food they eat due to illness.
People are also malnourished, or suffer from over-nutrition if they consume too many calories. People who don't get enough food often experience hunger, and hunger can lead to malnutrition over the long term. But someone can become malnourished for reasons that have nothing to do with hunger. Even people who have plenty to eat may be malnourished if they don't eat food that provides the right nutrients, vitamins, and minerals.
A child who doesn't get enough of one specific nutrient has a nutritional deficiency; a form of malnutrition (although it doesn't necessarily mean the person will become seriously ill). The most common form of malnutrition in the world is iron, iodine and vitamin A deficiencies, which can lead to anemia.
Malnutrition contributes much to deaths of children from zero to two years since it is the insufficient, excessive or imbalanced consumption of nutrients. So hunger, malnutrition and lack of a balanced diet are among major causes of three quarters of all deaths of children under the age of five in Tanzania.
Chronic malnutrition is endemic in Tanzania, with 42 percent of under fives stunted, making Tanzania one of the 10 worst affected countries in the world and the third worst affected in Africa.
A global report by Save the Children; A Life Free from Hunger: Tackling Child Malnutrition', shows at least 130 children in Tanzania die everyday from causes related to malnutrition. Four out of five of them under the age of five suffer from chronic malnutrition.
Ibrahim Mwema from the Temeke Children's council said at a recent conference on malnutrition organized by Save the Children in Dar es Salaam that some parents lacked education on malnutrition and the importance of a balanced diet and thus failed to provide their children with a balanced diet.
Mwema wondered as to who should be blamed for not educating the society on the importance of a balanced diet to children and adults in general.
He urged the government to allocate enough funds for education on food and nutrition especially in schools and hospitals.
However, he said government needs to emphasise on the use of fresh farm foods instead of canned foods so as to build a nation of healthy children.
"Fresh food is affordable to all classes of people in society but continuing promoting the food from supermarkets is to rear children, who suffer from malnutrition," said the young man.
Despite various national commitments to reduce malnutrition, the problem is yet to attract enough political attention and does not feature high on the development agenda.
Iringa Special Seats MP, Lediana Mng'ong'o who also attended the children's gathering said in order to have a nation whose children are free from malnutrition, it is time the government hired nutrition experts. She said if possible, these should come from municipal council level to regional level. The MP said these experts will help educate people on nutrition and balanced diet.
Mng'ong'o said children's rights must be recognized by all Tanzanians including giving them opportunities to express their feelings and teach them to know what a balanced diet is all about.
Prof. Joyce Kinabo, a nutrition ambassador from Partnership for Nutrition in Tanzania (PANITA), who is also an Associate Professor from the Sokoine University of Agriculture said disease and inadequate dietary intake are two of the immediate causes of malnutrition in children, women, and other population groups in Tanzania.
According to her, they often occur together and are caused by multiple underlying factors including inadequate access to food and health services, an unhealthy environment as well as inadequate caring practices.
In its report, Save the Children shows that rising food prices and malnutrition were putting additional pressure on countries with already high burdens of child mortality. Unless tackled now, the report continues, over the next 15 years, a further half a billion children's lives around the world will be left blighted by malnutrition.
The nutrition Ambassador said the survey shows a snap-shot of the hardship that families are facing in countries where, even before food price spikes, many of the poorest children were already surviving on a diet dominated by a basic staple such as white rice, maize or cassava, which has very low nutritional value.
The charity's report has revealed that 15 million more children are suffering from chronic malnutrition in Africa now compared to 1990. Today, nearly two in five African children are malnourished totaling to 60 million, a figure expected to rise by 8.5 million this decade if current trends continue. Of these, 450,000 are in Tanzania.
Meanwhile, a new global survey conducted by the same charity showed in five countries where more than half of the world's malnourished children live, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, India and Bangladesh that is, half of all families have been forced to cut back on food. A third complained their children did not have enough food to eat.
With hidden sorrow, she said progress against malnutrition crisis had been slower in Tanzania and Africa generally than else where in the world, with soaring food prices and economic downturn in the last year making it even harder for families to buy enough of the right type of food for their children as they grew up.
"I am happy to say that Tanzania is not starting from scratch… so far it has achieved some very good results, including development and finalization of the National Nutrition Strategy for 2010-2015 containing the framework for the government and its partners to work jointly on nutrition issues. But at current rates of malnutrition, Tanzania will not meet the Millennium Development Goal 1 of reducing extreme poverty and hunger which has a component of halving the 1990 rates of child underweight status by 2015," Prof. Kinabo said.
Rachel Pounds, Country Director of Save the Children in Tanzania said inequities in nutritional status continue to persist, with most malnourished children and women living in rural areas, thus more efforts need to be done to rescue them.
Although malnutrition is the underlying cause of a third of child deaths in the world (2.6 million each year), it has not received the same high-profile campaigning and investment as other causes of child mortality like HIV/Aids or malaria. This has meant that while the child mortality rate from malaria has been cut by a third since 2000, child malnutrition rates in Africa have decreased by less than 0.3% .
Recognizing its responsibility towards children's right to adequate nutrition, the government of Tanzania has signed and ratified the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, and embraced both the 2000 Millennium Declaration leading to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Scaling up Nutrition movement.
At the national level, it developed Vision 2025 and poverty reduction strategies (MKUKUTA I and II and MKUZA I and II for Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar, respectively). These policy commitments envision a significant reduction in the number of stunted children.
The government also recently launched its National Nutrition Strategy 2011/12 – 2015/16, and made a commitment to establish a designated line in the national budget for nutrition for the financial year 2012/13.
However, these high-level commitments still need to be translated into well-funded, well-coordinated concrete actions that result in the improvement of children's nutritional status.

Comments On May 16, 2013:i really like the helmet, it fits snugg and comfortable. Its a nice change from the full motocross helmets im used to. No complaints except that it makes me look like a dork from the 70's but ehh, whats new.
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Feb 27, 2013:I've got a giant head. It's something I've come peace with. Normally open face helmets look ridiculous on me but this one manages to look great and function well. The head sizing is accurate (got the xxl) but even with my head the helmet is light weight and still stays stylish. Go for it.

Comments On Jul 23, 2012:Sparkles and shines, fit is on par with Arai sizing. Some impurities in the clear coat put a blemish on an otherwise great looking hat. Nice quilting inside and leather accents too. Standard D-rings are simple and effective to use. A good buy at a good price, they fit tighter on your head and prevent that, "ready to shoot out of a cannon" look that many other helmets have.

I think I looks very sharp.
The detailing of Rhielôn continues with the region of The Trade Sea.
The Trade Sea is in central Nordikana (the main continent) and is, as named, heavily traveled. It features many of the largest, independent city-states in the realm; some being wealthy and strong enough to support / protect large outlying cities in what could almost be considered minor nations.
Program: All Photoshop
This was my first try at a brown toned map and sometimes getting the right contrast for clarity was tricky but I think it turned out well enough.
Feel free to comment, critique, etc. Thanks.

Hey, that looks pretty great! The colors look awesome, layout is cool, I really don't have any complaints. Have some rep!
I second D. in his praise. Also I do like the simplicity of this map. Greatly done and effective in its minimalistic concentration.
Nice and clean job indeed. Deserves a bit of rep
This is a wonderful map! I love how clean and just wonderful it is!

I suddenly have a craving for espresso-chip coffee ice cream... I blame it on your wonderfully luscious map colors. Really quite striking. Looks a bit inspired by the Guild's site palette, no?
Thank you all very much! I appreciate the compliments greatly.
Sometimes it's hard to not keep adding more and more and to label everything. Luckily my next project was knocking on my mind.
I suppose now that I look at it, it does match the site palette pretty well! Unintentional, however; I was inspired elsewhere. Though, I don't quite recall where anymore. I look at a lot of maps.

A slow moving cold front will become stationary across eastern Carolina on Tuesday bringing clouds and cooler temperatures, especially across the north. The best chance for showers will occur north and west of our area but all areas have a 20% to 30% risk of getting some rain. Temperatures will range from the lower 50s along the Virginia border to the upper 60s in southern communities near Jacksonville and Morehead City. The front will push back northward on Wednesday allowing temperatures to soar into the lower 70s. A stronger cold front will push into the area by Thursday causing some rain and cooler temperatures.

Good morning. Theres breaking news from a postage stamp-sized garden on the North East Avalon. The gardening tool who put the suck in the phonetic spelling un-suck-cess-ful has corn sprouting up. Steve (which may or may not be the tools real name) said its a husky deal because he has no luck getting anything to grow, including hair. I shouted CORN! he recalled, when asked his immediate reaction. The neighbours must have thought I shouted FORE because they all ducked. Steve said he was particularly cob-smacked by the corn because there had been no sign of the other things he sowed, even the cucumber. Im in a pickle over that one. That veggie has always sprung to life in Newfoundland, especially in nearby Mount Pearl, he said. He credited the budding cornucopia to the horse manure he dumped on the garden a few weeks ago. What a load of crap! he said. Steve said he wouldnt divulge the exact location of his corn because he feared stalkers. He said that come harvest time he planned to frolic like a farmer and shuck like a corn star. Asked what hed like to grow next, he simply responded, Up.

A long-running battle over a possible east-west highway in Maine is the driving force behind a proposed amendment to the state Constitution. The amendment would give property owners more protections when the state comes in and seizes their land under eminent domain. It's being proposed by a state senator in a tough spot. Republican Doug Thomas's district is right in the path of where an east-west highway might go. Thomas, who supports at least exploring the idea, has been tageted politically by groups and individuals opposing the project. Jay Field reports.
Beginning last spring, opponents of an east-west highway - including many constituents in Doug Thomas's Somerset County district - began worrying aloud about the eminent domain question. In public meetings on the proposed roadway, they claimed the state would be forced to take land around the proposed route and hand it over to construction giant Cianbro, despite the company's assurances that it wouldn't need to exercise eminent domain to build the highway.
This unease reached a tipping point in August. Thomas - under attack from project opponents and facing a re-election fight - convinced Gov. Paul LePage to delay an economic study on the roadway until he could introduce a bill to prevent the state from using eminent domain to take land.
"Should people have to live in fear for years and years and years that their property is going to be taken and they're going to be given nothing for it?" he asks.
Sen. Thomas says no. He's sponsoring LD 58. The bill proposes amending the Maine Constitution to put some restrictions on eminent domain. Thomas was sick and unable to attend Tuesday's initial public hearing on his bill, before the Legislature's Judiciary Committee.
"if it we're up to me, I'd do away with eminent domain altogether," he says in a telephone interview. "But you can't. But we've definitely got to stop abusing it and this is a good place to start."
Under the measure, the state has five years to use property for the purpose it was taken for. When the five years is up, the state must then offer up the land to the original owner or heirs at fair market price, before the property can be transferred to a person, non-profit or corporation for use on some other project.
"My name is Eliza Donahue. I'm a resident of Farmington, Maine. And I'm speaking on behalf of the Natural Resources Council of Maine. We are concerned that eminent domain may be used to acquire land for the purpose of the proposed east-west highway corridor."
Donahue and the Natural Resources Council testified in favor of Thomas's bill, but expressed concern that it doesn't go far enough. Donahue says her group opposes the language in the bill that allows the state to transfer property for use on other projects, once the original owners or heirs have taken a pass on the land.
"That would appear to be a potential loophole and we urge that it be removed," Donahue said.
The group representing Maine's cities and towns would like to see the whole bill go away. Geoff Hermon is with the Maine Municipal Association.
"Municipalities don't use eminent domain very much," he said. "But when they do, it's typically the taking of small slivers of property that are immediately adjacent to an existing right of way."
Hermon says town and cities often take multiple small slivers of land to enlarge or redesign a road in some way. Hermon says amending the Maine Constitution to require that taken property be used for its intended purpose in only five years would handcuff his clients and prevent key upgrades to infrastructure.
"It is not uncommon for a significant road-widening operation to take much longer than five years. Five years is not a long period of time," he said. "And if you're talking about something as complicated as a bypass or a significant re-alteration of highway, five years is an instant."
Officials from Cianbro did not testify at Tuesday's hearing. Sen. Thomas will get a chance to push for his bill when the Judiciary Committee holds another public hearing on the measure in the coming days.

On Friday, shortly after 12 a.m., the Blue Hills RCMP with fire and paramedic services were dispatched to the report of a single-vehicle collision about 13 kilometres south of Brandon on Highway 10.
Police determined that a white pickup truck heading south left the highway and collided with a hydro pole on the west side. The lone occupant of the truck, a 19-year-old Killarney man, was taken to the Brandon Regional Health Centre and treated for minor injuries and released.

I have to be honest here, and admit that i have not read the other posts. If I have repeated what someone else here has said, then I apologise.
The beginner packs are an awesome addition to the shop, and I would truly love to see them stay, alongside a permanent option for gold boxes.
Having looked at the cards though, the lawtia pack leaves a lot to be desired. I dont see many lawtia starters reach folrart. Now I am going to see even less. This was a great opportunity to increase the variety in beginner files that they can potentially play to a mid level, but I feel that lawtia pack is simply fail on top of fail, and I feel for those who have chosed this awesome sphere as their starter.
I will now be seeing even more falkow - they have the best pack by far. Awesome... falkow.... the only sphere that really didnt need to prove its better than the others just got stuff like sea claw and tortoise to prove that refess doesn't have the best tanks, carrier to show lawtia they aren't the most useful after death, and more witches to remind gowen why rush is not always the best way to hurt the opponent. Seriously, just add serpent and ensure that no other starter is going to want to play against them, ever.
Having said that, these packs are awesome value for money, and I highly recommend them to anyone considering a purchase of cards and a just starting out.

Module: Climate Change and Wine Curriculum Module
In this computer exercise, students will compare and contrast satellite and ground data for temperature in northern California over several decades and extract trends about climatic regions for wine-grape production. The satellite data, which we provide in an Excel spreadsheet, contains four 1° blocks along a longitudinal transect from the coast of California to the mountains. The ground based data in the spreadsheet are from four weather stations (Ft. Bragg, Napa County Hospital, University of California at Davis, and Colfax), each representing one of the blocks along this transect. For each block and station, we calculated the Winkler Scale, a technique for classifying the climate of wine growing regions in which geographical areas are divided into five climate categories based on degree days. Plotted are changes in the Winkler Scale for the four blocks and stations over time.
Students can use the data provided or go to the NASA sites to choose their own blocks or weather stations plug the numbers into the spreadsheet and calculate the Winkler Scale for other locations. They can plot the Winkler Scale over time and analyze the plots and what they imply about premium wine-grape production.
Students should learn something about:
- longitude and latitude and map reading.
- (optional) downloading data from online NASA databases and pasting them into a spreadsheet.
- degree days and its relationship to plant growth and development.
- spatial resolution and temporal longevity of data
- data smoothing and trend analysis
- wine quality
This activity is appropriate for undergraduates or older, particularly those who have previous experience with computer spreadsheets. Using the data provided and its analysis places little demand on the students. Extending this analysis to other locations would require additional time and computer resources (e.g., a computer with an internet connection and an Excel compatible spreadsheet program).
Exercises and Downloads
All of the readings and materials are available online:
Click here to download a Powerpoint presentation on the materials
Click here to download the Excel spreadsheet with the data for 4 satellite blocks, 4 weather stations, and graphs
Students can follow the complete example for a longitudinal transect across northern California or they can download from the NASA websites for Surface meteorology and Solar Energy data and Ground station temperature data and follow the same procedures for another location in the United States.
The students will need an introduction about degree days and its use for all sorts of practical guidelines including the design of buildings as well as crop development.
Assessments may include:
- Students can suggest methods such as running averages to evaluate trends in other noisy data sets.
- Students can find longitude and latitude for other locations.
Resources and Further Reading
- NASA's Surface meteorology and Solar Energy data used here.

It was a dark and stormy knight, and nine dark defenders embarked upon a most perilous quest. They're the ultimate defenders of humanity, modern-day knights who do dark deeds for all the right reasons.
In this all-star collection, nine of today's hottest paranormal authors bring us thrilling, all-new stories of supernatural knights - stories that are brimming with magic, mystery, and mayhem.
John Marcone sets aside his plans to kill Harry Dresden to go head-to-head with a cantrev lord in Jim Butcher's "Even Hand". Kate Daniels is called upon for bodyguard duty to protect Saimen, a shifter she trusts less than the enemy in Ilona Andrews' "A Questionable Client". Cormac must stop a killer werewolf before it attacks again on the next full moon in Carrie Vaughn's "Gods Creatures". And in Vicki Pettersson's "Shifting Star", Skamar gets more than she bargained for when she goes after a creature kidnapping young girls and enlists the aid of her frustratingly sexy neighbor.
When everything's on the line, will these knights complete their missions and live to fight again another day? Find out in Dark and Stormy Knights! Included are stories from Ilona Andrews, Jim Butcher, Shannon K. Butcher, Rachel Caine, P.N. Elrod, Deidre Knight, Vicki Pettersson, Lilith Saintcrow, and Carrie Vaughn.
©2010 P. N. Elrod (P)2010 Audible, Inc.
"Jim Butcher does his usual top-notch job with the Dresden Files tie-in "Even Hand"….Equally as good is Carrie Vaughn's taut and suspenseful "God's Creatures"….Rachel Caine's "Even a Rabbit Will Bite"…is unexpectedly poignant." (Publishers Weekly)
Two great passions - dogs and books! Sci-fi/fantasy novels are my go-to favorites, but I love good writing across all genres.
"Rachel Caine blew me away!"
I picked up this volume of short stories in a sale. I didn't have high expectations because I am not a huge fan of the short form, but there were several writers included that I liked so I gave it a try. And, most of the stories are pretty good, especially Ilona Andrews' and Jim Butcher's. But I got a total shock from Rachel Caine. I have read some of Caine's books, but have never been overly impressed. However, her short story, Even a Rabbit Will Bite, is just about as good a short story as I have ever read - right up there with some of my favorites of Edgar Allen Poe and that is saying something. She builds and destroys a whole world in one brief story, makes the reader care deeply about some very odd characters, and left me with a tale I will never forget. It is especially nice that this great story is perfectly narrated by Suzanne Toren (bravo, Ms. Toren!). This is such a great short story, it makes the whole collection totally worth a credit.
"Get this just for P.N. Elrod, not for Jim Butcher"
All of the entries are excellent reads, but as we all know the story narrated can ruin it for you. All of the entries are well read, however, the man who ready Jim Butcher's entry about the infamous character John Marcone needed to be told that he didn't have to sound like a "wise guy" from some old 50's film. Johnny is not a smoker or drinker and this buy sounded like he had been on binge all of his life. The upside is that David Pittu is excellent as 30's vampire and super sleuth Jack Fleming is right on the mark.
avid audiobook listener, sociopath, nerd.
"Bought this for Dresden, loved the rest!"
I bought this just for Jim Butcher's story (which was actually about John Marcone, not Harry Dresden) but I enjoyed every story. It's very rare that I find a compilation like this where every story is gripping, action-packed, and well written but this one has it all. I enjoyed that there was very little romance and a lot of battling monsters. I will definitely listen to this collection again!
"Truly enjoyable stories from great authors"
If you know any of these authors, give this anthology a chance, and don't expect the same old same old. I was very pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed this bunch of stories. I don't know what the other people who only gave two stars were expecting, but you can't please everyone. I found myself really enjoying the entire anthology. Great authors, some doing different things, others sticking to what they know. On a recent road trip everyone enjoyed this one.
Favorite author: Alexander McCall Smith Favorite narrator: Gerard Doyle Favorite listen : Burton and Swinburne Trilogy
"werewolfs, zombies, mages and yes dark knights"
I get the anthologies to read different authors and hear different narrators. I liked this anthology better than Down these Strange Streets although the subject matter was the same and many of the same authors. I feel these stories were shorter and if you weren't already familiar with the character they provided enough to enjoy the story. Also there was a variety of stories, some romance ,some stories funny, some were scary some were sad, some were twist on history so something for everyone provided your into monsters or "the unknown". I wish audible provided a more detailed table of contents though so I can go back and maybe look up other things from the authors and/or narrators that were particularly entertaining. as an example, I particularly liked the story by Rachel Caine and Carrie Vaughn. I magine the Kindle version has all that. whisper sync is perfect for books like this, you can read some or listen or read and listen.
"A pretty good anthology"
I will be honest up front, I really only got this book because I saw it had a Dresden Files short story in it by Jim Butcher. I won't spoil things, but fans will find it a very interesting story, and one they might not (I certainly didn't) expect. I found his wife's story to also be very good, and P. N. Elrod always writes excellent stories. I didn't listen too carefully to most of the other stories, and I will likely go back and do so, but as I picked this up in anticipation of Jim Butcher's fourteenth Dresden Files novel, Cold Days, his was really the only story I was interested in listening to at the time of purchase. Sharron K Butcher's story was a very different type of story, but a pleasant surprise. I hope we will see more of this from her. Thus the above ratings is only for the stories I listened to, and not an overall rating. Id rate the Jim Butcher story five stars, with a solid four and a half stars for the narrator. He does an excellent job, but James Marsters has ruined other narrators telling of Jim Butcher Dresden Files books/stories as he is so damn good at it.
"Great collection"
I'm giving this book four stars only because I'm not a huge fan of short stories. I picked up this book because it had offerings from some of my favorite authors. They were all very good, not a clunker in the batch.
One of the best things about the short story format is that is offers an author of a long-running series the opportunity to write something from one of their supporting character's point of view. Sometimes this can be disappointing, but not here. I don't want to give any spoilers.... but Jim Butcher does a great job here.
Reader. Painter. Newspaper columnist. Nurse. Humane Society. Lake life. Walker. Happily remarried - was a widow.
"A good adventure through some pretty cool authors!"
Each story was about a hero, perhaps a bit of a dark one, but they were all doing what they could to make their world better, even if they got a little satisfaction or cash for themselves along the way.
Each author is solid, skilled and reputable.
I never felt like I was listening to short stories, which I dislike. It was like a series of novellas. If you like one of these authors, and who wouldn't, take a chance on hearing someone new. I've found a few new authors from these books and this is my third of the compilations.
Not one was a novella I'd prefer to skip over. All were worth the time and shared credit.
I recommend.
quick reader
"Review for Dark and Stormy Knights"
I really liked this collection of stories and the characters. Some of them were just a bit short but enjoyable. I got a chance to listen to other authors and see if I would enjoy other stories by the authors.
The variety of the settings and the various authors made for a good read.
"Great way to meet new authors"
I enjoyed all of the stories. I have started listening to Jim Butcher's Furies series as a result. These collections are a great way to meet new authors!
I am not really a short story fan ordinarily, but these stories got me carried away & gave me an idea of the other writers style that I had not read before, each short story had a different narrator & the production was really great.
My favoutrites definately are 'Questionable Client' & 'Even Hand', but most have their merits, the most haunting had to be 'Even a rabbit will Bite', which stayed with me long after.
Here's a snap shot of each story to give you an idea of what to expect.
Ilona Andrews - A Questionable Client.
Kate works for the Mercenary Guild & when she's offered £3000 dollars for one nights work she knows it's going to be a nasty job, even if it is bodyguarding.
Superb characterisation, plot, magical creatures. Written with wry humour & intelligence.
Deirdre Knight - Unknighted.
Magical fantasy she has to complete the puzzle, but there is something missing, a benefactor suddenly gives what she needs, to release whats in the puzzle. Failure is not an option, slow build up to a life threatening ending.
Jim Butcher - Even Hand
Written from John Macone point of view, he who is cold hearted, mobster extrodinaire, has lines even he won't cross especially when it comes to drugs, prostitution involving kids. Which maybe is why he uncharacteristically agrees to give his protection to Justine & a child. Hardhitting, magical vilolence.
Sean Butcher - The Beacon.
Ryder is an assassin, he's sick to the teeth of his job, he has to kill the 'Beacon' - A human, he falters & has to stand & fight, a fight he has no chance in hell of winning. Dark & gritty - desperate measures take place for pure survival - superior descriptive writing.
Rachel Caine - Even a Rabbit will Bite.
A slow burner this one, She's been a dragon slayer for over 700 years & has to train the new slayer who is going to take her place. A melancholy tale with a desperate twist. Dark undertones that make you think..
P.N Elrod - Dark Lady.
1930's noir type suspense thriller. Vampire Jack Fleming is a night club owner, with his own ghost resident Merna. A lady visits late at night asking for his help, naturally suspicious, there's unpleasant shannigans, mobsters, pugilism, elaborate set-ups & exploitation.....
Vikki Petterson - Shifting Star.
Schmar wants to stay under the radar, but Vaughn makes that difficult - she doesn't want to feel she just wants to make the Tulper pay - painfully. Super powers, vicious fights a short story from the Zodiac series, warring fractions of light & dark, fighting for Vegas's Soul.
Lilith Saintcrow - Rockwood & Mrs King.
Rockwoods a vampire, a very thirsty vampire & well he cannot but help appreciate the attributes of Mrs King, when she comes into his office & asks for him to kill her husband. It's a who using who scenario. Again noir type, gumshoe, hardboiled detective style. Keeps you guessing.
Carrie Vaughn - Gods Creature.
Cormack is a mercenary his services are expensive, but he gets the job done - tough, relentless, cynical & a hunter with many notches on his belt. When a local farmer purchases his services to kill a rogue werewolf, it's more complicated than it first appears...
I gave it four stars as this was about average of the individual scores. Great Stuff,if you like it, dark, hardboiled & gritty .
"Dark & Gritty"
I am not really a short story fan ordinarily, but these stories got me carried away & gave me an idea of the other writers style that I had not read before.
Each is read by a different narrator, superbly produced. I gave it four stars as this was about average of the individual stories. Great Stuff,if you like it, dark, hardboiled & gritty - wry humour & superb descriptive writing and tight plots. recommended...
"An excellent assortment"
I don't usually like short stories but I thoroughly enjoyed these. A great mix of old and new ideas.

Gardenia's Roserade was the last Pokémon Gardenia used during her gym battle with Ash. Due to the fact that the sun was shining brightly that day, Roserade's Weather Ball was a Fire type move which allowed it to easily defeated Ash's Turtwig. However Aipom managed to defeat Roserage, smashing it through a tree and against the wall with Focus Punch.

The Westfield News (http://bit.ly/1k8SNHx ) reports that a man called police Monday evening to report that a rabbit's head had been left in his mother's mailbox.
The woman says a rabbit's head also had been left in her sister's mailbox about four blocks away.
The heads were removed and disposed of.
Police say a hunter who saw the heads said they appeared to be from wild rabbits, not domesticated rabbits.
Police say no one in the neighborhood reported seeing anything suspicious and they are seeking the public's help.
