The Orlando Magic lost in a triple overtime game last night against the Chicago Bulls that is being hailed as an "instant classic," well that classic wouldn't have been possible had Jameer Nelson not hit a game tying three to send the game into the first overtime. Well I'm sure Nelson wasn't expecting that game tying three to cost him $15,000 but it did.
Jameer Nelson's game tying three:
The gesture according to Magic Basketball Online, is the "big balls dance," and it comes from the movie Major League. Although the last year of Nelson's contract is only partially guaranteed, he surely made enough over his time in the league to handle that $15,000.

Valdosta, Georgia- September 11, 2012
This morning the Valdosta Fire Department hosted the city's annual 9-11 remembrance ceremony.
If anybody understands the significance of this day, it's our brave men and women in uniform like the firefighters of Valdosta Fire Department.
Roughly 100 people came from across Lowndes County, many of them in uniform. They held a prayer of remembrance and of course a powerful moment of silence right at 8:46 - the time the first plane hit the twin towers.
Afterwards, Fire Chief J.D. Rice spoke about how even in Valdosta combating terrorism is a daily duty: 'The enemy is still out there, and we have to stay vigilant as firefighters and police officers and first responders here in Valdosta. We don't like to talk about it but as first responders that's what we prepare for every day.'
Later in the morning the Board of Commissioners held a wreath ceremony on the lawn of the Old Courthouse. They also held a prayer and a moment of silence.
Everybody who was at the gathering in Valdosta has gone back to their daily routine, but for those who were at Ground Zero, the memories will never go away.

3 Star HotelsVia Marina Piccola, 98 - Capri - See map
+39 081 8375322
+39 081 8379366 (Fax)
Three reasons to book here:
- You're in the Piazzetta, in just 5 minutes
- Wake up to the view of Marina Piccola
- Winter, spring, summer, or fall: all you have to do is call!
Nautilus - CapriGo to the top
A welcome surprise for budget-conscious travelers who'd love to visit Capri but fear having to pay through the nose for the pleasure, Hotel Nautilus is a peaceful and incredibly affordable 3 star property, within steps of the sea and beach of Marina Piccola.
Rooms with a view
The hotel's bright and cheerful bedrooms are simply furnished, in typical island style and equipped with every modern convenience, from air conditioning to SKY satellite television. A number of rooms have their own sea view terrace.
If you plan to stay for a while, book one of the fabulously spacious "Superior" rooms.
Marina Piccola on your doorstep
Just a few meters lie between Hotel Nautilus and Marina Piccola, the pretty little bay famous for its glamorous bathing resorts and award-winning fish restaurants.
Rising up out of the water, almost directly opposite the beach, the legendary Faraglioni of Capri are only a short boat ride or, somewhat longer, swim away!
Strut your stuff, in the Piazzetta
The ideal choice for a fun-in-the-sun seaside holiday, Hotel Nautilus is a great option for those keen to explore the historic center of Capri too.
The Piazzetta, the tiny square around which the island's glitzy social whirl gravitates, is only a short bus or taxi ride away. Guests can also reach the center on foot, walking up the panoramic Via Krupp which, from Marina Piccola, zigzags its way to the Gardens of Augustus.

Nautilus: LocationBack to the top
Set in gardens brimming with island flowers, Capri's Hotel Nautilus is located within steps of the beach of Marina Piccola, the enchanting little bay on the southern shores of the island.
The center of Capri, and the buzzing Piazzetta, are just a short bus or taxi ride away. It's well worth making the return journey on foot; walking from the Gardens of Augustus down the spectacular Via Krupp, which terminates by the beach of Marina Piccola and, thus, only a few meters away from the hotel.

Two Mobile Phone / Cell Maps of Leeds
From the OpenCellID Project and Mozilla Location Services, I produced these two maps of parts of Leeds. The areas are merged together based on the network code. It was made using QGis.
I talked about this during Superposition Leeds #008 on 20 May 2015 http://www.thesuperposition.org/event/008/
They look pretty rather than useful, so here they are!
A Digital Gazetteer of Places for the Library of Congress and the NYPL
I'm proud to tell you that the project I worked on last year with Topomancy for the Library of Congress and the New York Public Library has just been released to the Internet. It's an open source, fast, temporal enabled, versioned gazetteer using open data. It also works as a platform for a fully featured function-laden historical gazetteer.
You can check out the official release at the Library of Congress's GitHub page, and for issues, documentation and development branches on Topomancy's Gazetteer project site.
Here is an introduction to the project giving an overview and discussion of the challenges and listing the features of this software application. Enjoy!
DEMO: Head over to http://loc.gazetteer.us/ for the Digital Gazetteer – a more global gazetteer and to http://nypl.gazetteer.us/ for the NYPL's NYC focused historic gazetteer. If you want to try out the conflation, remediation and administrative roles, let us know at email@example.com
Introduction, Overview, Features
A gazetteer is a geographic dictionary sometimes found as an index to an atlas. It's a geographic search engine for named places in the world. This application is a temporal gazetteer with data source remediation, relations between places and with revisions which works with many different data sources. It's fast, written in Python and uses ElasticSearch as a database. The application was primarily written as a Digital Gazetteer for the Library of Congress's search and bibliographic geographic remediation needs and was also developed for the New York Public Library's Chronology of Place project. It is currently being used in production by the Library of Congress to augment their search services. The software is MIT licensed.
* Backbone.js frontend
* Django
* ElasticSearch as revision enabled document store
* PostGIS
Data Model
* Simple data model.

* Contains (A contains B spatially)
* Replaces (A is the same as B but over time has changed status, temporal)
* Subsumes (B is incorporated into A and loses independent existence, temporal)
* Comprises (B comprises A if A contains B, along with C,D and E)
We will delve into these relationship concepts later
Site Admin
* GeoDjango administrative pages
* Administrative Boundary operations
* Batch CSV Import of places for create / Update

* Edit groups and users and roles etc
* Edit layers (tile layers optionally shown for some features)
* Add / Edit data origin definitions
Background, Requirements and Challenges
Library of Congress and Bibliographic Remediation
The Library has lots of bibliographic metadata, lots of geographic information, much of it historical, almost all of it is unstructured.
For example, they have lots of metadata about books, where it was published, the topics, subjects etc. They want to try and improved the quality of the geo information associated with the metadata, and to augment site search.
So the library needs an authoritative list of places. The Library fully understands the needs for authoritative lists – they have authority files for things, ideas, places, people, files etc, but no centralised listing of them, and where there are geographic records there may be no actual geospatial information about them.
Initial Challenges
So we start with a simple data model, where a named location on the Earth's surface has a name, a type and a geometry. All very simple right? But actually it's a complex problem. Take the name of a place, what name to use? What happens if a place has multiple names, and what happens if it has multiple records to describe the same place? Taxonomies are also a large concern, for example establishing a set schema for every different type of feature on the earth is not trivial!
What's the geometry of a place? Is it a point, is it a polygon, and at what scale? For administrative datasets, it's often impossible to get a good detailed global administrative dataset. Often in many places the data is not there. Timeframe and temporal gazetteers are an another large area for research (see OpenHistoricalMap.org if this intrigues you!). But the way we describe places in time is very varied, for example "in the 1880's" or "mid 19th Century" or "1 May 2012 at 3pm". What about places which are vague or composed of other places, like "The South" (of the US) – how would a gazetteer handle these? And the relationships between places is another very varied research topic.
So we think the project has tried to address these challenges. For names, the system can accept multiple additional alternate names, and conflation enables the fixing of multiple records together so that the results shows the correct authoritative results. The Digital Gazetteer allows places to have any type of geometry (e.g. point, line, polygon) where all the database needs is a centroid to make search work. For temporal support, places have datestamp for start and end dates but crucially there is in addition fuzzy start and ends specified in days. This enables a place, for example to have a fuzzy start date (sometime in the year 1911) and a clear end date (23 May, 1945). For "The US South" example – composite places were created. The system generates the union of the composite places and makes a new one. The component places still exist – they just have a relationship with their siblings and with their new parent composite place. This brings us to how the Digital Gazetteer handles relations between places.
Let's look a bit more in detail about the relationship model. Basically the relationships between places help in conflation (reducing duplicate records) and in increasing search accuracies. The five relationships are as follows:
* Conflates
* Contains
* Replaces
* Subsumes
* Comprises
This is the most common relationship between records initially. It effectively is an ontological statement that the place in one record is the same as described in another record, that entries A and B are the same place. It's a spatial or a name type of relation. For example, if we had 5 records for Statue of Liberties, and all 4 were conflated to the one record, when you searched for the statue you'd get the one record, but with a link to each of the other four. Conflates hides the conflated record from search results.
Contains is a geographical relationship. Quite simply, Place A contains Place B. So for example, the town of Brighton would contain the Church St. Matthews.
Replaces is mainly a temporal relation, where one place replaces another place if the other place has significantly changed status, name, type or boundary. For example, the building representing the Council Offices of the town from 1830-1967 is replaced by a bank.
Subsumes is mainly a temporal relation. Where a place A becomes incorporated into another place B and loses independent existence. For example, the ward of Ifield which existed from 1780 to 1890 becomes subsumed into the ward of Crawley.
Comprises is primarily a spatial or name relation. Place A comprises place B along with place C,D and E. This relation creates composite places, which inherit the geometries of the component places. For example, "The US South" can be considered a composite place. This place is comprised of Virginia, Alabama etc. Virginia in this case comprises "the US South", and the composite place "The US South" has the union of the geometry of all the places it is comprised by.
Data Sources
OpenStreetMap (OSM), Geonames, US Census Tiger/Line, Natural Earth, Historical Marker Database (HMDB), National Historical GIS (NHGIS), National Register of Historic Places Database (NRHP) and Library of Congress Authority Records
Further Challenges
Automatic Conflation
There remains two main areas for future development and research – Automatic Conflation and Search Ranking. Since there are multiple datasets, there will of course be the same record for the same place. The challenge is how to automatically find the same place from similar records by some kind of search distance. For example, by distance from each other, distance geographically, and in terms of name and place type. Tricky to get right, but the system would be able to undo any of the robots mistakes. Further information about this topic can be found on the GitHub wiki: https://github.com/topomancy/gazetteer/wiki/Conflation
Search Ranking
By default the gazetteer uses full text search which also takes into account alternate names and administrative boundaries, but there is a need to float up the more relevant places in the search results. We can also sort by distance from the search centre if doing a search within geographic bounds, which is used for helping find similar places for conflation. We could probably look at weighting results based on place type, population and area, although population and area for many urban areas in the world may not be available. One of the most promising areas of research is using Wikipedia request logs as a proxy for importance – places could be more important if they are viewed on Wikipedia more than other places.
Further Issues
Some other issues which I haven't got space to go into here include: synchronising changes up and downstream to and from the various services and datasets. Licensing of the datasets could be looked at especially if they are being combined. What level of participation in the conflation and remediation steps should a gazetteer have, which depends on where the gazetteer is based and who it is being used for.
NYPL Chronology Of Place
I mentioned at the beginning of the post that the New York Public Library (NYPL) was also involved with the development of the Gazetteer. That project was called The Chronology of Place, and as the name suggests is more temporal in nature. But it's also more focused geographically. Whereas the LoC are interested in the US and the World as a whole, the NYPL's main focus is the City of New York. They wanted to deep dive into each building of the city, exploring the history and geography of buildings, streets and neighbourhoods.
Thus the level of detail was more fine grained, and is reflected in some custom default cartography in the web application client. A nondescript building in a street in a city for example are not usually considered a "place" worthy of a global gazetteer but for the NYPL each building was significant. Also, the NYPL has extensive access to historical maps via the NYPL Map Warper which Topomancy developed for them, and around a hundred thousand digitized vector buildings from these historical map atlases. This data, along with data from the city were able to be added to the system to augment the results. Additional data sources include the Census's Historical Township boundary datasets, NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission Landmarks and NYC Building Footprints.
There were two additional features added to the application for the NYPL's Chronology of Place. The first was expanding the data model to include street addresses, so that a building with no name can be used, and the second was to display raster tile layers (often from historical maps) for specific features. Thus,the building features which were digitized from the historical maps were able to be viewed alongside the source raster map that they came from.
A Web Maps Primer using MapWarper.net (via NYPL Blog)
Mauricio from the innovative NYPL Labs has just published an extensive tutorial on how to use MapWarper.net with GeoJSON, MapboxJS, and JSFiddle to create your own historical web map, as he says it is "a primer on working with various free web mapping tools so you can make your own awesome maps." The end result is worth checking out.
In the tutorial the following steps are included:
- geo-referencing the scanned map so that web tiles can be generated
- generating GeoJSON data to be overlaid
- creating a custom base map (to serve as reference/present day)
- integrating all assets in an interactive web page
Its a very detailed introduction to a wide range of new, free and open geo tools on the web, and I cannot recommend it high enough! It's also great to see mapwarper.net being used in this way!
Using MapWarper maps inside CartoDB
The CartoDB folks recently published a tutorial on how to use the NYPL's MapWarper maps inside CartoDB.
You can of course use http://mapwarper.net if you want to upload your own images.
These maps. made by Andrew Hill look lovely, and it's very easy to use – using the tile XYZ template:
Devise Omniauth OAuth Strategy for MediaWiki (Wikipedia, WikiMedia Commons)
Authentication of MediaWiki users with a Rails Application using Devise and Omniauth
Wikimaps is a Wikimedia Commons project to georeference/georectify historical maps. Read the wikimaps blog here. It is using a customised version of the Mapwarper open source map georectification software as seen on http://mapwarper.net to speak with the Commons infrastructure and running on Wikimedia Foundations Labs servers. We needed a way to allow Commons users to log in easily. And so I developed the omniauth-mediakwiki strategy gem so your Ruby applications can authenticate on WikiMedia wikis, like Wikipedia.org and Wikimedia Commons.
The Wikimaps Warper application uses Devise – it works very nicely with Omniauth. The above image shows traditional login with username and password and, using OmniAuth, to Wikimedia Commons, GitHub and OpenStreetMap.
After clicking the Wikimedia Commons button the user is presented with this:
It may not be that pretty, but the user allowing this will redirect back to our app and the user will be logged in.
This library used the omniauth-osm library as an initial framework for building upon.
The code is on github here: https://github.com/timwaters/omniauth-mediawiki
The gem on RubyGems is here: https://rubygems.org/gems/omniauth-mediawiki
And you can install it by including it in your Gemfile or by doing:
gem install omniauth-mediawiki
Create new registration
The mediawiki.org registration page is where you would create an OAuth consumer registration for your application. You can specify all wikimedia wikis or a specific one to work with. Registrations will create a key and secret which will work with your user so you can start developing straight away although currently a wiki admin has to approve each registration before other wiki users can use it. Hopefully they will change this as more applications move away from HTTP Basic to more secure authentication and authorization strategies in the future!
Usage is as per any other OmniAuth 1.0 strategy. So let's say you're using Rails, you need to add the strategy to your `Gemfile` alongside omniauth:
gem 'omniauth' gem 'omniauth-mediawiki'
Once these are in, you need to add the following to your `config/initializers/omniauth.rb`:
Rails.application.config.middleware.use OmniAuth::Builder do provider :mediawiki, "consumer_key", "consumer_secret" end
If you are using devise, this is how it looks like in your `config/initializers/devise.rb`:
config.omniauth :mediawiki, "consumer_key", "consumer_secret", {:client_options => {:site => 'http://commons.wikimedia.org' }}
If you would like to use this plugin against a wiki you should pass this you can use the environment variable WIKI_AUTH_SITE to set the server to connect to. Alternatively you can pass the site as a client_option to the omniauth config as seen above. If no site is specified the http://www.mediawiki.org wiki will be used.
In general see the pages around https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OAuth/For_Developers for more information
When registering for a new OAuth consumer registration you need to specify the callback url properly. e.g. for development:
http://localhost:3000/u/auth/mediawiki/callback http://localhost:3000/users/auth/mediawiki/callback
This is different from many other OAuth authentication providers which allow the consumer applications to specify what the callback should be. Here we have to define the URL when we register the application. It's not possible to alter the URL after the registration has been made.
Internally the strategy library has to use `/w/index.php?title=` paths in a few places, like so:
:authorize_path => '/wiki/Special:Oauth/authorize',
:access_token_path => '/w/index.php?title=Special:OAuth/token',
:request_token_path => '/w/index.php?title=Special:OAuth/initiate',
This could be due to a bug in the OAuth extension, or due to how the wiki redirects from /wiki/Special pages to /w/index.php pages….. I suspect this may change in the future.
Another thing to note is that the mediawiki OAuth implementation uses a cool but non standard way of identifying the user. Omiauth and Devise needs a way to get the identity of the user. Calling
'/w/index.php?title=Special:OAuth/identify' it returns a JSON Web Token (JWT). The JWT is signed using the OAuth secret and so the library decodes that and gets the user information.
Calling the MediaWIki API
Omniauth is mainly about authentication – it's not really about using OAuth to do things on their behalf – but it's relatively easy to do so if you want to do that. They recommend using it in conjunction with other libraries, for example, if you are using omniauth-twitter, you should use the Twitter gem to use the OAuth authentication variables to post tweets. There is no such gem for MediaWiki which uses OAuth. Existing Ruby libraries such as MediaWiki Gateway and MediaWIki Ruby API currently only use usernames and passwords – but they should be looked at for help in crafting the necessary requests though.
So we will have to use the OAuth library and call the MediaWiki API directly:
In this example we'll call the Wikimedia Commons API
Within a Devise / Omniauth setup, in the callback method, you can directly get an OAuth::AccessToken via
request.env["omniauth.auth"]["extra"]["access_token"] or you can get the token and secret from
request.env["omniauth.auth"]["credentials"]["token"] and
Assuming the authentication token and secret are stored in the user model, the following could be used to query the mediawiki API at a later date.
@consumer = OAuth::Consumer.new "consumer_key", "consumer_secret", {:site=>"https://commons.wikimedia.org"} @access_token = OAuth::AccessToken.new(@consumer, user.auth_token, user.auth_secret) uri = 'https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&meta=userinfo&uiprop=rights|editcount&format=json' resp = @access_token.get(URI.encode(uri)) logger.debug resp.body.inspect # {"query":{"userinfo":{"id":12345,"name":"WikiUser", # "rights":["read","writeapi","purge","autoconfirmed","editsemiprotected","skipcaptcha"], # "editcount":2323}}}
Here we called the Query action for userinfo asking for rights and editcount infomation.

Leeds Creative Labs – Initial steps and ideas around The Hajj
Cross posted from The Leeds Creative Labs blog.
I signed up to take part in Leeds Creative Labs Summer 2014 programme with the hope that it would result in something interesting, something that a techie would never get the opportunity to do normally. It's certainly exceeded that expectation – it's been a fascinating enthralling process so far, and I feel honoured to have been selected to participate.
I'm the designated "technologist" who is in partnership with Dr Seán McLoughlin and Jo Merrygold on this project around The Hajj and British Muslims. Usually I tend to do geospatial collaborative and open data projects, although I'm also a member of the Leeds group of Psychogeographers. Psychogeography is intentionally vague to describe but one definition is that it's about the feelings and effects of space and place on people. It's also about a critique of space – a way to see how modern day consumerism/capitalism is changing how our spaces are, and by definition how we in these spaces behave.
We had our first meeting last week – it was a "show and tell" by Seán and Jo to share some of the ideas, research, themes and topics that could be of relevance to what we will be doing.
Show and tell
Seán, from the School of Philosophy, Religion and The History of Science introduced his research on Islam and Muslim culture, politics and society in contexts of contemporary migration, diaspora and transnationalism. In particular his work has been around and with South Asian heritage British Muslim communities. The current focus of his work, and the primary subject of this project is about researching British Muslim pilgrims' experiences of the Hajj.
The main resources are audio interviews, transcripts and on-line questionnaires from a number of different sources such as pilgrims of all ages and backgrounds, other people related to the Hajj "industry" such as tour operators and charities.
Towards the end of the year are a few set days for the Hajj – a once in a lifetime pilgrimage to the holy Saudi Arabian city of Mecca. You have probably seen similar photos such as this where thousands of pilgrims circle the Kaaba – the sacred cuboid house right in the centre of the most sacred Muslim mosque.
It's literally the most sacred point in Islam. It's the focal point for prayers and thoughts. Muslims orient themselves towards this building when praying. The place is thought about everywhere – for example, people may have paintings with this building in their homes in the UK, and they may bring back souvenirs of their Hajj pilgrimage . You can see that the psychogeography of space and place on the emotions and thoughts of people could be very applicable here!
And yet the Hajj itself is more than just about the Kaaba – it's a number of activities around the area. Here's a map!
The Hajj
These activities, all with their own days and particular ways of doing them are literally meant to be in the footsteps of key religious figures in the past. I will let the interested reader to discover for themselves, but there's a number of fascinating issues surrounding the Hajj for British Muslims with Seán outlined.
Here's a small example of some of these themes:
Organising the Hajj (tour operators, travel etc).
What the personal experiences of the pilgrims were.
How Mecca has changed, and how the Hajj has changed.
The commercial, the profane, the everyday and the transcendent and the sacred.
How this particular location and event works over time and space.
What are the differences and similarity of people and cultures, and possible experiences of poverty.
"Hajj is not a holiday" and Hajj Ratings.
Differences in approach of modern British Muslims to going to the Hajj (compared to say their grandparents).
Returning home and the meaning and expectations of returnees (called Hajjis).
What we did and didn't do
We didn't rush to define our project outputs – but we all agreed that we wanted to produce something!
Echoing Maria's post earlier we are trying to leave the options open for what we hope to do. Allowing our imaginations to run and to explore options. I think this justice to the concept of experimentation and collaboration, and should help us be more creative. I think that we can see which spark our imaginations, what address the issues better – what examples and existing things are out there that can be re-appropriated or borrowed, and which things point us in the right direction.
What I did after
So after the show and tell my mind was spinning with new ideas and concepts. It took me a few days to go over the material and do some research of my own, and see what sorts of things I might be able to contribute to. It's certainly sparked my curiosity!
I was to prepare for a show and tell (an ideas brain-dump) for the next meeting. The examples I prepared included things from cut and paste transcriptions, 3D maps, FourSquare and social media, to story maps, to interactive audio presentations and oral history applications. I also gave a few indications as to possible uses of psychogeography with the themes. I hope to use this blog to share some of these ideas in later posts.
Initially I mentioned the difference between a "hacker" approach and the straight client and consultant way of doing development. For example encouraging collaborative play and exploration rather than hands off development. Allowing things to remain open. The further steps would be crystallizing some of these ideas – finding better examples and working out what we want to look at or devote more time to. We'd then be able to focus on some aims and requirements for a creative interesting project.
State of the Map Europe 2014 – Pure OpenStreetMap.
State of the Map Europe 2014 was in the German city of Karlsruhe. The city was a planned city – designed and built around 1715 – pre motor car, but with wide avenues, and half of the city seems to be a park. It's also famous for being the home of the Karlsruhe Addressing Scheme – an example of a folksonomy tagging convention that everyone pointed to and adopted, due to the great mappers there – including the folks from Geofabrik.de who also organised the conference. Here are some notes from the conference:
Nature of the conference
The European conference seemed much more intimate with a focus on developer and contributors – compared to the US Conference which I think had more end users and people sent there by their bosses for their company. Pretty much every single session was on topic (except for the closing buzzword laden keynote!) – and as such there were no enlightening talks about psychogeography, general historical mapping, or other geospatial software. It was pure OSM.
All the talks are online and the video recordings are on youtube and I encourage you to view them.
3D maps
3D Maps, such as Mapzen and OSMBuildings were prominent – and both showed off some very creative ways of representing 3D maps.
Geocoder and Gazetteers
The only track in the conference – this was full of gazetteers with an announcement from OpenCage and MapZen – all appear to be using ElasticSearch – same as we (Topomancy) did last year for the NYPL and Library of Congress. Check out gazetteer here.
Other stuff
Trees – Jerry did a talk about mapping trees – about how they were represented in historical maps previously, and how we can use SVG symbols to display woods and trees in a better way. Jerry lead an expedition and workshop on the morning of the hack day to show participants the different habitats, surface types and variance in the environment that mappers could take into consideration.
Mapbox WebGL – Constantine, a European engineer of Mapbox did a fascinating talk about the complexities of the technical challenges with vector tiles and 3D maps. I really enjoyed the talk.
OpenGeoFiction – using the OSM stack to create fictional worlds – not fantasy or science fiction, but amazing experiments in amateur planning, utopian visions and creative map making. OpenGeoFiction.net
The fictional world of Opengeofiction is thought to be in modern times. So it doesn't have orcs or elves, but rather power plants, motorways and housing projects. But also picturesque old towns, beautiful national parks and lonely beaches.
I love this project!
Vector Tiles – Andy Allan talked about his new vector tile software solution ThunderForest – being one of the only people to know the ins and outs of how Mapbox do the Mapnik / TileMill vector magic. ThunderForest powers the cycle map. Vector maps has lots of advantages and I think we'd probably use it for OpenHistoricalMap purposes at some stage. Contact Andy for your vector mapping and online cartographic needs!
POI Checker – from the same house as WheelMap.org comes POI Checker – it allows organisations to compare their data with data in OSM – and gives a very neat diff view of Points of Interests. This could be a good project to follow.
Historical Stuff
OpenHistoricalMap There were a few things about historical maps in the conference, although in my opinion less than at any other SOTM previously. I did a lightning talk about OpenHistoricalMap and completely failed to mention the cool custom UK centric version of the NYPL's Building Inspector.
Opening Keynote – this was peppered with the history of the city and gave a number of beautiful historical map examples. Watch the video.
Map Roulette v2 – Serge gave a talk about the new version of Map Roulette – it is being customised to be able to run almost any custom task on the system. We chatted a the hack day to see if the tasks from the Building Inspector could be a good fit into the new Map Roulette – I will look into this!
NYPL Adds 20,000 High Resolution Maps to the NYPL Warper – free to download
NYPL Warper – New Maps!
This weeks news was about a project I've been working on for the last few months with Topomancy – adding a whole load of new maps to one of the largest libraries around the New York Public Library. These were added to an award winning crowdsourced geo-rectification, historical map exploration and discovery application. Users can download full resolution TIFF files without the need to login, and if the map has been geo-referenced/rectified/warped, then you can freely download the warped versions too. The images are all in CC-Zero licenses – so, effectively Public Domain in nature. Credit to the library is appreciated though.
The announcement of the freely available 20,000 maps from the NYPL this week has been covered in a few places including OpenGLAM MotherBoard, OpenCulture and InfoDocket amongst others!
Folks may recognise that the Warper has been around for a little while now, and so here's what we did: We hooked it up with the NYPL Digitial Collections API – this changed the way it requested , instead of internally requesting images from the Image Server, it uses the API properly. A whole suite of import processes were also generated to enable to search of maps from the repository, importing individual maps sheets, the import of individual atlases or layers full of maps, and most usefully the import of newly digitized maps. A by product of this was to extract some of the library code into the nypl_repo Ruby Gem. There's even some documentation for the nypl_repo gem for interacting with the NYPL Digital Collections API.
The code for the NYPL Warper can be found on GitHub – although if you are wanting to do this at home – have a look at the code for MapWaprer.net also available on github.

Additional Golf Course Reviews:
|Juniper Hills Golf Course -- Juniper Hills, just ok
|Review by: Danny
|This course is ok, but nothing to brag about. The course is fairly short and very cramped, being laid out on a smaller amout of land than most normal 18 hold courses. Though I haven't been playing as long as many players, this course is not very hard and many players who play it regularly tend to shoot very low scores.

Play was intriguing - we saw a preview, so it did not come off perfectly (a few ad libbed lines). Storyline was good - slow a little in the first act.
Theater was cold - recommend dressing warm.

In FireRed, there is a stat decrypter at 0x3FBE8, while there is a stat encrypter around 0x41000. I can't remember the exact location off the top of my head.
These use indices in order to decrypt/decrypt the wanted piece of data from the Party data. You pass it the Pokemon's party location in R0, the index in R1, and occassionally some other piece of data in R2. For a list of indices, see HackMew's post in "Modernizing the Fire Red field engine". More specifically, the post which contains his code for the field effects of the Magma Body ability.
Changing the level would indeed mean that updating the checksum would be required IIRC. However, it should change it to a bad EGG rather than a missingno.

In partnership with the City of Worcester, Seven Hills Foundation, Nitsche Engineering, Lamoureux Pagano Architects, CD McGuire and others, we plan to move the historic Stearns Tavern to Coes Pond. Preservation Worcester committed to paying expenses (heat, water, electricity, snow removal, lawn care, fire monitoring ….) for the building for the next 7 months. Being a small grassroots organization, this commitment is a real stretch for us. We figure our expenses will be $25 per day. PLEASE HELP US SUPPORT THE PROJECT AND PAY FOR A DAY, A COUPLE OF DAYS A WEEK OR WHATEVER WORKS WITHIN YOUR BUDGET.
You can make a donation via PayPal below.
Preservation Worcester celebrates the 20th anniversary of our annual Most Endangered Structures List. The list has proven to be a highly successful tool for identifying and selecting local architectural gems that are threatened by demolition, neglect or inappropriate use. To highlight the effectiveness of the program, this year in addition to selecting 10 endangered structures, we also identified 20 successes. Go to our Most Endangered Structures tab to see our complete list of threatened properties as well as our commendations list. Also, please nominate threatened properties for our 2016 Most Endangered Structures List.
This photograph was taken on October 9, 2015 and is the most recent photo we have that shows the progress in stonework being done on the Clock Tower. We are excited as the work nears completion and will keep you posted as to when it is done.
The mission of Preservation Worcester is to preserve for future generations the sites and structures which are significant to the culture, history, and architecture of the city and to encourage excellence in future design.

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for standing by.
Welcome to Artisan Partners Asset Management Second Quarter 2013 Earnings Conference Call.
My name is [Mike] and I will be your conference operator today. [Operator Instructions].
At this time I will turn the call over to Ms. Makela Taphorn with Artisan Partners.
Makela Taphorn
Thank you. Good afternoon everyone.
» E TRADE Financial Corporation (ETFC) Management Discusses Q2 2013 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
» Texas Capital Bancshares Inc (TCBI) Management Discusses Q2 2013 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
I would also like to remind you that comments made on today's call and some of the responses to your questions may deal with forward-looking statements and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Factors that may cause our actual results to differ from expectations are presented in the earnings release and are detailed in our filings with the SEC. And we undertake no obligations to revise these statements following the date of this conference call.
In addition, some of the remarks this afternoon include references to non-GAAP financial measures. You can find reconciliations of those measures to the most comparable GAAP measures in the earnings release and exhibits which are posted on the Investor Relations section of our website.
And with that I will now turn the call over to our Chief Financial Officer Eric Colson.
Eric Colson
Thanks, Makela. Good afternoon and welcome to the Artisan Partners Asset Management business update and quarterly earnings call. I'm Eric Colson, CEO. And I'm joined today by C.J. Daley, CFO. Thank you for your time today. I hope you find this discussion useful.
During this time I want to make sure to reinforce our long-term business strategy and approach through a current presentation of our operational and financial statistics. But more importantly, I want to begin a pattern of diving a little deeper into one of our primary beliefs.
This quarter the deep-dive will focus on talent management. We are very committed to managing our business for passionate investors to deliver performance and results for our clients. Once I'm done, C.J. will take the lead on walking through our financials.
Beginning with slide two, we have a basic set of business facts. This is the first of several slides that will hopefully become familiar to all of our call participants. Markets can fluctuate a fair amount point to point, particularly over short timeframes such as quarterly reporting periods. Our view of our business and how we measure and think about progress does not. I will make sure to highlight changes that we believe are important to discuss as I page through the presentation.
Since our last reporting period, the change of note on this page are the change in assets under management and a number of investment strategies we offer. A relatively flat period for Global Equity markets. Our assets under management grew past $85 billion through a combination of organic growth and alpha generation from our investment teams.
At the end of the quarter we launched our 13th investment strategy and first since 2010, Artisan Global Small Cap Growth. This strategy is managed by our Global Equity team. It is a natural extension of the mix of strategies currently managed by the team and a great opportunity to leverage the broad decision-making capability on the team.
The next two slides provide a current view of our long-term investment results. As a reminder it is our goal to produce superior investment return on an absolute and relative basis, with integrity over a full market cycle. So when we look at investment performance, we answer three questions. Have we been faithful to the strategies' stated investment philosophy and process? Has the strategy produced good absolute performance? And how those strategies' performance compare to performance of its peers, competitors and the index?
As of June 30th, 10 of our 12 investment strategies added value relative to their broad performance benchmarks over the trailing five and 10-year periods and since each strategy's inception. All 12 strategies have good absolute performance and followed their objectives with integrity.
Slide four further reinforces the impact of our performance philosophy across our asset base. Our teams run active portfolios with high degrees of investment freedom. Each also adheres to a time-tested investment process. None have a process or incentive that pays much value on very short timeframes. Therefore the return patterns of all of our teams will be lumpy. That is evident in the one-year return. But each has proven to compound wealth for clients with 90% to 100% of assets, out-distancing the benchmarks over the five, 10 and since inception timeframes. Our mutual fund peer rating, which are highlighted at the bottom of the page, are a great illustration of how our results translate to peer ratings.
On slide five I want to highlight our asset diversification. Our distribution strategy is focused on sophisticated investors with a long-term horizon to manage a consistent asset base. We have a deliberate capacity realization strategy. Ideally we want to see strong asset diversification by team, distribution channel, investment vehicle and geography. And we have a disciplined approach to seize because it is critical to talent retention. Managed well together, this contributes to stability in our business mix and investment teams.

LifeSize enhances video collaboration features
Videoconferencing technology developer LifeSize on Tuesday released new features for its video collaboration platform in an effort to extend its reach to mobile workers.
The LifeSize UVC Multipoint feature is designed to optimize resolution of video communication on mobile devices. The platform's LifeSize Bridge capability allows high-availability clustering to expand the number of people who can participate in video calls.
LifeSize said its aim is to help enterprises with increasingly mobile and remote workforces boost productivity, and to include the growing number of enterprise employees who use their own mobile devices at work.
"The vision behind the LifeSize UVC Platform is to fundamentally change the way businesses deploy video infrastructure by consolidating multiple applications on a single, virtualized interface," said Michael Helmbrecht, vice president and general manager of video solutions at LifeSize, in a statement. "This new offering addresses the needs of the massive BYOD movement whereby the power driving new technologies has shifted from the corporation to employees themselves."
The offering follows the trend of video collaboration providers pushing more into distributed enterprises as workforces become more geographically dissipated.

well i only have 1 N and 1 Ghetsis. When the next set comes out im going to load this deck with the new supporter Caitlin. That card would be amazing for my deck. Being able to cycle through my whole deck really quickly by just putting cards to the bottom of my deck will allow me refresh my hand to ridiculous point. Sometimes i find myself with over 12 cards in hand after a few cherens and cilans, not to mention clear search Milotic. Being able to throw 12 cards to the bottom of my deck in any order i want and then draw 12 new cards would make this deck much better.

I live in upstate VT and do not need air conditioning.
I would like to better ventilate my attic to get a little "extra" air flow inside the home during the summer.
I do not want to tear a hole in the ceiling for a ceiling fan to blow into the attic as the ceiling is perfect and I would suffer heat loss through the ceiling fan as it hit -30 twice last winter.
I have a small attic, about 550 sq. ft. with good ventilation through soffit vents and a gable vent.
I am considering purchasing a high flow gable fan which would overpower the soffit vents. I would also replace my 14"x19" trap door into the attic space with a screen door in the summer. The objective would be to pull fresh air into the attic via the soffits and circulate air from the home into the attic. This should enable fresh air to be pulled into the home through windows which are always open.
If it does not work well I could always drop the trap door back into place and add more soffits…
Do you know of anyone who has done this successfully?
Many thanks in advance.

Since 1999, Met Art has been filling the 'net with some of the most seductive, sensual imagery to ever pour out of Europe's vibrant erotica industry. Beautiful European women posing naked, shot by world-class photographers, and delivered in high-res photo and HD video formats, Met Art clearly takes its erotica very seriously. Now part of a network of the same name, Met Art seems to be branching out, extending its brand, but what does that mean for the casual visitor and the devoted member, both? Mr. Pink will reveal all!
For well over a decade, Twistys has been filling porno fans' plates with glamorous adult entertainment that bridges softcore and hardcore for a style that is distinctly Twistys' own. Now boasting 1080p HD videos to better showcase stunning models like Kayla Kayden and Valentina Nappi, Twistys is a network offering exclusive porn from When Girls Play and Twistys Hard for a more comprehensive take on sexual excitement. With Treats galore just waiting to dazzle you with their undeniable erotic charm and charisma, Twistys is a babe-lover's paradise.
Having photographed nude and sexually occupied women for well over two decades, you could say Denys Defrancesco knows a thing or ten about erotica and pornography. Put his experience to the test by peeling back the curtains closing Defrancesco's extensive DDF Network and examining its worth. Have you found yourself interested in lesbian whipping and caning sessions, oil-aided footjobs, deep-throat fellatio, or the delightful Hungarian goddess known to mortals as Eve Angel? Then it's likely you'll find DDF Network as thrilling as a virtual roll in the hay with Ms. Angel herself and a few of her girlfriends. After all, in a way that's kind of what DDF Network is all about.
Easily one of the top five hardcore studios in the USA, Elegant Angel has produced more incredible porn movies than you can shake a dick at! With a changing roster of directors leading the studio into a new era and bringing a marvelously appetizing roster of sexy talents along for the ride, Elegant Angel invites you to sign-up, log-in, and take a good long look at one of our most valued porn studios' latest offerings.
Now that we're well and truly living in the 21st Century, isn't it time we upgraded our collective sexual consciousness from the oppressive attitudes of the past? That's exactly what 21Sextury are going for with their 21-site network of wide ranging carnal bliss, which documents and celebrates everything from sedate footjobs and facials to brutal DPs, assfucking, and gangbangs. With a unique visual style and an impressive roster of European and American performers, 21Sextury is a wild, deep, often intense sexual wonderland that all porn fans must visit at least once.
Professionalism: in the porn industry it means showing up on time, staying clean and tested, and having a positive, can-fuck, can-cum attitude. At Porn Pros you'll find women as eager and enthusiastic as any pornstar to whom you've beaten yourself silly. You'll also find 23 websites dealing in slightly and wildly different niches, from competitive monster-cock-sucking to rampant squirting to sedate, sensual threesomes and POV fellatio that'll surely put you in just the right mood, whatever mood that may be, to truly appreciate the porno professionalism of Porn Pros.
Viv Thomas is among the most reputable erotic photographers working today, having amassed a huge catalog of lesbian, foot fetish, and erotic shorts and features now available on his very own Viv Thomas website. Not content to just continue his awesome work online, Thomas has aimed high, adding 4K Ultra-HD videos that, coupled with his devotion to rich visuals, stunning European beauties, and a deeply affecting take on sexuality, Viv Thomas is the man to beat in this niche.

Iraq court gives Tariq Aziz new 10 year sentence
BAGHDAD An Iraqi court on Monday convicted Tariq Aziz, Saddam Hussein's longtime foreign minister, of terrorizing Shiite Kurds during the Iran-Iraq war, sentencing him to 10 years in prison.
The jail term piles a new penalty on the 74-year-old Aziz, the only Christian in Saddam's inner circle who already faces an execution sentence from another case.
It is the fourth set of charges against Aziz, who is asking Iraqi President Jalal Talabani for a pardon to spare him from execution. Aziz attorney Giovanni di Stefano said Monday afternoon that it is also the last legal hurdle that the former diplomat and deputy prime minister had to face before Talabani could consider pardoning him.
Aziz, wearing a blue suit and leaning heavily on his cane, was without a lawyer in court. He has predicted he will die in prison.
"Ten years, 15 years, life: It is all academic," di Stefano, who is based in Italy and has criticized the legal proceedings as stacked against Aziz, said in an e-mail. "Not even if Clarence Darrow had represented him would the trial have been considered anything close to fair."
Darrow was a legendary U.S. civil liberties lawyer in the early 1900s.
Iraqi High Tribunal spokesman Mohammed Abdul-Sahib said Aziz was spared a death sentence for the crimes against humanity because he had a lesser involvement than some of his co-defendants in the atrocities against the small Faili sect of ethnic Kurds who follow the Shiite branch of Islam.
The verdicts were read as Iraqi Interior Minister Jawad Bolani briefed foreign diplomats about a thwarted attack on the French Embassy in Baghdad.
He said security forces a captured a minibus already packed with explosives in the garage of the same group that carried out a horrific siege on a Christian church last month that killed 68. He said 14 people have been arrested in the plot.
Bolani discussed the plot with The Associated Press and briefed officials from Britain, Egypt, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United States.
Meanwhile, four people were killed and 29 wounded by a car bomb that exploded outside a restaurant in Baqouba, about 35 miles (56 kilometers) northeast of the capital, said Maj. Ghalib al-Karkhi, the police spokesman for Diyala province.
Another bomb on Baghdad's western Abu Ghraib suburb killed a policeman and an Iraqi soldier as they were trying to diffuse it.
Of the other 15 defendants in the Iraqi High Tribunal case, three Saddam loyalists were found guilty and sentenced to death. Two, including Aziz, were sentenced to 10 years in prison. The remaining 10 were acquitted, including Saddam's two half brothers, Watban Ibrahim al-Hassan and Sabawi Ibrahim al-Hassan.
"Thanks to God," Sabawi Ibrahim al-Hassan murmured when he heard the verdict.
The Faili Kurd minority comes mainly from an area in northeastern Iraq that straddles the Iraq-Iran border. Saddam, a Sunni Muslim, killed, detained and deported tens of thousands of Faili Kurds early in his 1980-1988 war with Iran, denouncing them as alien Persians and spies for the Iranians.
Talabani, a Kurd himself, has said he will not sign off on Aziz's death warrant, given his old age and the fact that he is a Christian. But there are ways in Iraq's constitution to bypass the president in capital cases, and it is not clear if Talabani even has the authority to grant Aziz a pardon.
Several European nations that oppose the death penalty also have called for amnesty for Aziz.
After the verdicts were read, tribunal Chief Judge Nadhum al-Aboudi told reporters that Aziz should not be singled out for better treatment simply because he is Christian.

A Delightful Window Into Caillebotte Brothers' Private World
PARIS—Gustave and Martial Caillebotte were born into a large, wealthy Parisian family in the mid-19th century, just as the city was in the ferment of transformation: Baron Haussmann was turning medieval streets into wide boulevards, steam trains revolutionized travel and the Impressionists were upsetting the art world's academic applecart.
Free from financial cares, the brothers picked their own pursuits. Gustave chose art from the outset, not only joining the Impressionists but buying their works and often supporting them with loans; on the side, he was a philatelist, a yachtsman and boat designer, and, like his friend Monet, a passionate gardener. Martial, a pianist and composer, later discovered photography. They spent much time together, and what Gustave painted—street scenes, family life, bridges and trains, sailing and canoeing—Martial photographed. With some 35 paintings, many from private collections, and 150 family photos, "The Private World of the Caillebotte Brothers" at the Musée Jacquemart-André is the first joint exhibit of their work, offering a delightful window on their privileged Parisian scene.
Displayed in small themed galleries, with one huge photo blowup papering a wall in each room, Gustave's large paintings are perfectly in tandem with Martial's small sepia-toned snapshots, clustered in white-matted frames as if on the pages of a family album. (Because the originals are extremely fragile, the photo prints are new.)
Gustave's 1880 "A Balcony," with two gentlemen looking down over a tree-lined street, is repeated in Martial's 1889 self-portrait photo "Me on the Balcony." Gustave's 1877 "Building Painters," on ladders doing a shopfront, is echoed by Martial's 1891 workmen on ladders tending a street lamp.
It's too bad that a few more of Gustave's best works aren't on show—the big "Paris Street, Rainy Day," with its well-dressed couple under an umbrella, or the unique "The Floor Scrapers"—but there are more than enough to enchant visitors, including the "Rower in a Top Hat," "The Canoers," with its oddly cut-off point of view, and "Portraits in the Country," four beautifully dressed women at their needlework on a dappled spring day.
Until July 11

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) — This year's statewide test results, which are being released Tuesday, show more kids are passing their math and science exams.
Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn credits Washington's new math learning requirements for helping kids and teachers better understand what students need to learn.
Results from the new end-of-course exams for algebra and geometry are available for the first time. It appears that students are doing better on the new exams than they did on the cumulative high school math exam.
Most elementary and middle school students are also doing better on their math tests and science scores are improving as well.
What hasn't improved is the number of schools failing to make adequate yearly progress, as required by the federal No Child Left Behind law. Preliminary figures show 1,388 Washington schools were on that list in 2011.

I am familiar with the shaking associated when braking on a slick surface. I have had that same shaking effect on dry surfaces when the wheels are turned at an angle. Example: pulling into a parking space. Should I be concerned?

To say the least a really long ride was in trail mode. Was a nice day and I really needed to go for a long ride, so here are some highlights.
To say the least a really long ride was in trail mode. Was a nice day and I really needed to go for a long ride, so here are some highlights.
Don't you love it when the four wheelers dig up the trails? Some guys were out there a few weekends ago. The place was a disaster.
I know, that berm was huge before they got to it. We really need rain bad.
Where is this ride? Looks cool. If you need rain we've got plenty 3 hurricanes in 3 weeks,everythings washed out
Like a circus monkey on a stolen Harley......
This ride is up in Henniker, NH.
It's fun to just zip around these trails. Getting smacked by bushes. Good times.
Looks like fun. Can you carry a lot of speed there?
Hey Kona whats tha song, it sounds familiar
Sorry im so random

We have conflicts with the conservation commission up here when it comes to trail use, but there has been little concern over the hunters abuse of the trails. Maybe we should start carrying guns?
Return of the Blister-Slipknot
Shure its not the blister exists from Vol 3:Subliminal verses
Pain is an illusion
Greenfix, thats right. Gotta watch out for the hicks out early.....never had any probs with them around here. I hope they dont mistake my brown bullit for a buck
OK it is the Blister Exists from Vol:3 Look at the time and notice that I was more than likely up for only 2 minutes when I typed that.
Yeah it would be a shame because his bullit is beautiful. Earth tones are a bit wearyful during hunting season.
I live in kansas and I have been tempted to wear something like this when riding during deer season - just in case.
I do wear an orange vest during hunting season, and an orange helmet cover. I figure better safe than shot. I still get nervous sometimes because rifle shots travel a long way, but I'm not going to lock myself up in the house for a month either.
Between the orange I'm wearing and the whistle every couple of minutes- no hunter will mistake me for dinner! (not to mention that their potential dinner will also not be around either)
I love passive aggression!
