Keeping Klassy with the Kardashians
- From: The Sunday Telegraph
- December 30, 2012
Imagine the next season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians: Kendall and Kylie Jenner go to Africa to feed the poor.
The teenagers tottering in their Louboutins through a refugee camp in Somalia say they've never been happier.
"We're going to donate all of our handbags to this worthy cause," Kendall says.
"You should see the sacks these people carry around. They're not even leather. It's a crime against humanity!"
Now, that's a reality series I'd pay to see. Of course, it's not going to happen.
Instead our eyes are soiled by the sight of these spoilt girls bragging about their booty on Christmas Day.
Instead, on this holy day, we're treated to scenes of the seven deadly sins: greed, lust, avarice, sloth, envy, pride, and gluttony.
Fifteen-year-old Kylie (youngest half-sister of Kim Kardashian) posts Instagram snaps of two Celine bags under the tree, worth more than $3000 each. Her 17-year-old sister, Kendall _ who received a $90,000 Range Rover for her birthday last year _ opens a box containing a $1200 pair of spiked patent leather shoes.
These shots are accompanied by pouting poses, wearing matching Alexander McQueen dresses. Many are inappropriately sexual. These aren't happy snaps of carefree teenagers; they're poses aimed at an invisible paparazzi.
Now, I don't begrudge them frocking up. It's a special day. Nor do I hate the rich. If they've saved up for those expensive gifts, good on them. But I do cringe at the message this sends to young women: life is all about money, beauty and fame.
The way "mumager" (mum and manager) Kris Jenner raises these girls is questionable, in my opinion. She and her second husband, Bruce Jenner, allowed Kendall and Kylie to leave school last year to pursue their modelling careers.
Who needs an education to fall back on, anyway?
Kylie already has a burgeoning career as a nail polish designer, with the range "Wear Something Spar-kylie" and "Rainbow in the S-kylie". Kendall is a style ambassador for Seventeen magazine.
Meanwhile, they're penning their first novel (with the help of a co-writer) for a young-adult audience.
No doubt, they'll follow in the footsteps of their half-sisters (Kim, Khloe and Kourtney) and mum, who lay their lives bare for all to see.
In her book, Kris Jenner And All Things Kardashian, she writes about her long affair with a younger, married man while married to her late first husband, Robert.
Then, in their reality show, she plays on her daughter Khloe's insecurities, encouraging her to have a DNA test.
I'm sorry ... what sort of mother does that?
Khloe's response? "I don't want to get sucked into the Kris Jenner crazy train."
But there are plenty of people who do.
Keeping Up With The Kardashians ended its seventh season on a ratings high. Kim Kardashian's divorce, after giving NBA player Kris Humphries the best 72 days of her life, set a new ratings record for the spin-off, Kourtney & Kim Take New York. And it won't be ending any time soon.
E! has signed a three-year, $50 million deal with the family to keep the series on air until 2015.
Audiences are lapping it up.
Our fascination with excess peaks at times of economic hardship. Remember how the Great Depression gave rise to screwball comedies?
This new generation of Kardashians is coming of age at the right time: teetering on the edge of America's fiscal cliff.
Soon, these bright young things will enter the adult word of cosmetic surgery, sex tapes, and staged marriages.
On Kim's Fairytale Wedding Part 1, Kris explains why she had two breast enhancements before the big day: "I needed a little freshening up for the wedding. Just doing what a girl's gotta do!"
She also repeatedly tells daughter Khloe she's fat.
Dust off that Mother of the Year Award _ I think I've found the winner.
German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer predicted the Kardashian phenomenon when he wrote: "Wealth is like seawater; the more we drink, the thirstier we become; and the same is true of fame."
Such a thirst will never be quenched; yet they keep drinking from the poisoned cup.
Perhaps a series in Africa wouldn't be such a bad idea.
Instead of designing a new fashion line for spoilt Western teenagers, Kendall and Kylie could bring clothes to those who don't have any.
Those sturdy handbags could be used to lug grain from the fields. It would put a smile on the kids' faces to play with Kylie's sparkly nail polish.
Now that would be a lesson in reality.

I'm on an animation kick and Pocahontas is the only major Disney animation that's out on dvd that I haven't seen. I've been holding off, hoping they would rerelease it with an anamorphic transfer. But, I don't think that will ever happen. Maybe when HD-DVD is introduced we'll see it.
Am I missing anything with the current version? Would I be wasting my money? Renting isn't an option for me so any advise/opinions would be appreciated.

It's letterboxed/non-enhanced. But that isn't the real issue. The real issue is that the transfer is much, much worse than the, generally gorgeous, transfers on other recent Disney films. It is so grainy that it looks bad even on small 4:3 sets. Oh, and there is a very long initial string of ads that you can't skip simply by pressing menu; the best you can do is step through them.

Pocahontas was only slightly widescreen... the AR was 1.66:1, which is how both the LD and DVD are presented. as for a future anamorphic release, there were rumors that a deluxe DVD, like the LD boxset, would be released... but i don't remember anything being mentioned about it being anamorphic. Disney just doesn't have the best track record with the animated releases...

A lot of cool things happened this week on The Biggest Loser. Most importantly, Black vs. Blue is over and the contestants are into individuals. This is a huge milestone on the Biggest Loser journey and the contestants should be extremely proud to have made it this far.
The second cool thing this week was that the contestants traveled to Washington, D.C. for the week.
I thought this was a fun week for Biggest Loser, but the episode also had a few things that are driving me insane.
This week was face-off week. I love face-off week. It gives the contestants the chance to focus on one person the entire week, making the only goal to beat a single opponent. There is no team to help you and you have to carry yourself. (more…)
So, first things first. Coach Mo is gone, Tracey stayed in the game. The contestants were shocked. After they get a hold of themselves, it's straight into a challenge. This challenge had the teams digging up crates to get a prize that the ever-so-clever Alison Sweeney kept a secret. The blue team ends up being the better archaeologists, or moles, or whatever else that digs, and wins. The prize is a week's trip home. For either team. The blue team makes the smart decision and sends the black team home, hoping for some massive stumbles. (more…)
This upcoming Sunday, October 15, some familiar faces will be running at the Detroit Marathon. I'll be running the half-marathon (one full was more than enough for me) alongside fellow Biggest Loser Season 7 contestants: Helen, Damien and new lovely wife Nicole, Carla. Some faves from Season 6 will also be running: Coleen, Amy C. and Shellay; and from Season 2, Pete Thomas.
Pops (Ron, my dad, if you didn't know) is going to be doing the 5k, but is having knee surgery this month, so its all still up in the air. Renee, mother of Michelle from season six, will also be doing the 5k. (more…)
Some big changes took place this week on the Biggest Loser ranch. The remaining 10 contestants went into teams of Black vs. Blue. This is an extremely emotional week for these contestants. Some lose their favorite trainer, some lose their partner, some both.

Small luxuries make recession bearableSeptember 7th, 2009, 12:00 pm by Jan Norman, small-business columnist
Most consumers are cutting back on big-ticket spending because of the recession. But we're not doing without completely, says Sageworks, a leading source of financial analysis of private companies.
Businesses that cater to small indulgences are experiencing sales hikes, Sageworks data show:
The list raises a few questions. For example are people shopping online — up 8.6% in the past year — to dodge local sales tax? Remember, California hiked the sales tax earlier this year so that most O.C. businesses charge 8.75%. La Habra businesses charge 9.25%.
Or, in dining out — up 3.1% — are they switching from white tablecloth, sit-down restaurants to Wahoo's or Chick-fil-A?Read the rest of this entry »

SALT LAKE CITY -- For once, the Utah Jazz didn't have to rely on Mehmet Okur making a clutch shot at the end.
Okur was resting as the rest of the Jazz finished a 102-76 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night.
Okur is still recovering from a stomach bug and didn't play in the fourth quarter, but still scored 19 points. Andrei Kirilenko, who has been hampered by back spasms, added 11 points, four blocks and four assists as the Jazz won their fifth in a row.
Utah is 5-1 since Carlos Boozer went out with a small break in his left leg, getting contributions from nearly everyone in the lineup.
"We need everybody out there. We can't continue to survive with guys playing so-so and then having guys out of the lineup," Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said. "We're just not that good."
Deron Williams added nine assists and Derek Fisher scored 14 for the Jazz, who are on their longest winning streak since they won eight in a row in November while opening the season 12-1. And after needing some late rallies in the previous four games, this one was just about over early in the second half.
Utah outrebounded Atlanta 52-32 and the Jazz went 32-for-36 from the foul line.
"It definitely feels good to get one by a large margin. We haven't had a blowout for a while," Williams said. "It felt good to get some rest and get some guys some minutes."
The Hawks had won five straight on the road, beating the Warriors 106-105 Sunday night in Oakland, but they had very little left for the Jazz.
Atlanta was just 4-for-17 in the opening quarter and was down by 12 before the end of the first period. By the fourth, it was just a battle of the reserves as the Jazz beat the Hawks for the ninth straight time.
Marvin Williams led Atlanta with 15 points. Williams also got a bloody nose when he took a forearm by Utah's Rafael Araujo early in the fourth quarter, which resulted in Araujo getting ejected and Atlanta's Josh Smith getting a technical as Williams remained down in the lane.
"I feel like he came straight for my face," said Williams, who also took a hard shot from Araujo during the summer league in July. "In the NBA, there's always hard fouls taken, but I really think it's crossing the line when you start taking shots at somebody's head."
After Araujo left to a standing ovation from the Jazz fans, both coaches pulled their starters before anybody else could get hurt or in trouble before the All-Star break.
Atlanta coach Mike Woodson said Araujo should be suspended.
"It's unacceptable. You can't do that," Woodson said. "The league will have a chance to see it and they'll make a decision from there."
Joe Johnson added 14 points and Smith and Zaza Pachulia scored 10 each for the Hawks.
Paul Millsap had 13 points and nine rebounds and Matt Harpring finished with 11 points and eight boards. Gordan Giricek added 10 points for the Jazz.
Utah closed the first half with a 10-3 run and led 50-32 at halftime. The Hawks didn't make much of a run early in the third quarter and the Jazz pulled away in the final few minutes. Fisher and Okur hit back-to-back layups to start an 11-1 run, which also included a 3-pointer and long jumper by Giricek.
The Hawks were scoreless from Marvin Williams' free throw with 4:58 left in the third to Josh Childress' layup with 2:34 remaining in the period.
By the end of the third, the Jazz were up 79-50 and had most of their starters resting on the bench.
"Our team didn't come to compete tonight," Woodson said. "We were a non-factor from beginning to end."
- Atlanta has lost 13 straight visits to Utah since beating the Jazz on Feb. 13, 1993.
- The Hawks hadn't lost on the road since Jan. 23 at Chicago, 94-86.

Complicated Strokes Of Life - Poem by Rohit Sapra
People say that I am worth nothing
They are always proven right.
Complicated strokes of life make it so tough
Tough to survive, life has become unworkable
Can I ever succeed so that I am proved as not wrong?
I am struggling to breathe since I am worth nothing
I am not a good character, which I finally do realize
Useless I am, with no life
No life at all as my reason to be is nothing
Nothing, I can say or do which can make any difference
Finally I am destroyed forever
People say I am worth nothing, always they are proven as right
Nothing I am and complicated strokes of life just cage me
I turn into a bird, whose wings are cut
My end is death, which will actually be by taking my own life
It is not something which I ever wish to do
Still, this thought often comes to my mind
As I remain with nothing to love.

Red Raider shortstop Tim Proudfoot sent WVU starter Ross Vance's 152nd pitch up the middle into centerfield to bring in pinch runner Zach Davis from second base to end the game, and complete No. 23 TTU's comeback against the Mountaineers.
The game-winning hit came with two outs and runners on first and second after Vance walked a batter and allowed a hit earlier in the inning.
It was West Virginia's sixth consecutive loss since a 4-3 win against Virginia Tech on May 6 - the Mountaineers' second-longest losing streak of the season, after dropping seven in a row at the beginning of the Big 12 Conference season.
Much like it has been in most of its losses this season, West Virginia was not able to take advantage of the many opportunities it had to blow the game open multiple times throughout the contest. The Mountaineers finished the game with just five hits, but left 13 runners on base – including 10 runners in scoring position.
WVU had just one hit in 14 at bats with runners on base, and was 1-for-12 with runners in scoring position and hitless in nine at bats with two outs.
Even with these struggles, West Virginia was able to control the game throughout the majority of the nine innings as Texas Tech struggled to figure out the crafty Vance.
The Red Raiders were only able to scatter two hits against the sophomore from McKinney, Texas, in the first five innings Friday night.
His strong performance at the start allowed the Mountaineers to find a way on the scoreboard first, starting in the fifth inning. After struggling to drive in runs when they had the chance to early on, Ryan McBroom singled up the middle to drive in Bobby Boyd to get the scoring started and give WVU a 1-0 lead. It extended that lead to 2-0 an inning later when Michael Constantini scored on a wild pitch after Taylor Munden was walked with one out.
Texas Tech was finally able to get on the board and cut into the Mountaineer lead in the bottom of the sixth when Bryant Burleson hit a solo home run to left field to put the Red Raiders in position to try to make a comeback. And while Texas Tech still had trouble getting to Vance for the majority of the game, the long ball would come back to bite WVU once again the next inning when Adam Kirsch drove Vance's first offering of the inning out of the park to tie it up heading into the eighth inning, where it stayed at 2-2 until Proudfoot's game winner in the ninth.
Cameron Smith got the win for the second night in a row, throwing 3.2 hitless innings in relief to improve his record to 7-1 on the season. Vance got the loss after going 8.2. He allowed three runs on nine hits, while striking out six and walking three.
Bobby Boyd was the only Mountaineer to finish with two hits, going 2-for-5 with a run and two stolen bases.
The two teams will play the series finale Saturday at 3 p.m.

r.watershed is explained in detail in the GRASS wiki page. And the collection of addons
r.stream.* have also earned a page of their own. With these and a few additional tricks, we can get the total upstream area, and add it to the stream network attribute table. Here are the details.
r.watershed to produce a flow accumulation raster from the original DEM. A few years ago the model switched to using a Multi Flow Direction (MFD) algorithm. For the purpose of total upstream flow, we must revert to the old Single Flow Direction (SFD) approach. So we add the
-s flag to the command. Then we invoke
r.stream.extract to create the stream network. We continue by adding columns for the X-Y coordinates of the end point of each stream reach, and extract these points to a temporary points vector. Then we can query the flow accumulation raster, created above, for all points in the end points vector (
v.what.rast) to add the number of upstream pixels for each of these points.
db.execute to join the end points back to the stream reaches by cat values and to push the calculated upstream area back to the streams network.

DEM is a GRASS raster of the digital elevation model,
prefix is a string used to name the streams output vector, and
threshold is the minimum number of cells to be considered a basin (see the r.watershed manual page for more details). Also note that the accumulated drainage area is calculated in the units of the current GRASS LOCATION, so working in a longlat LOCATION is not recommended, since the area units will be "square degrees". ]]>
I'm presenting this post as a YouTube video. If you did not yet download the demo I suggest you get it before viewing, so it will be easier to follow the techniques. After adding the Spatialite layers into QGIS, we use attribute columns to stylize the point location markers, including data defined styles. Then we see how to add a non-spatial table of insect capture data, and to add new data rows. Finally we see how these edits are immediately viewable on the map as different sized point symbols representing pest infestation.]]>
CREATE TABLE "table_name" ("col_name" type,"col_name" type);.
--- Create tables for traps and inspections CREATE TABLE traps (trap_id text PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL UNIQUE, trap_type text, lure text, host text, longitude double, latitude double, place_date date); SELECT AddGeometryColumn('traps','geometry',4326,'POINT',2); CREATE TABLE inspections (inspect_id integer PRIMARY KEY AUTOINCREMENT, trap_id text references traps(trap_id), inspect_date date, species text, num_males integer, num_females integer, interval integer);The first CREATE statement builds the layer for traps, with the "trap_id" declared as a text field and it serves as the primary key. We also set the initial placement date for the trap. This will become important soon when we move on to the capture data. Next comes the
function. This makes the traps table spatial by performing three crucial tasks: the geometry column is added to the traps table, the table is added into the system metadata known as "geometry_columns", and certain constraints are setup on the traps table to enforce that all new features are indeed POINT features, and that they are in the CRS that we declared, EPSG code 4326. If you are working in some other projection system, then the EPSG code declared in the third parameter of
AddGeometryColumns(...) must be chosen to match your CRS.
references declaration on
trap_id. This applies a foreign key constraint to the trap_id column, so that every item of inspection data must reference a trap_id that actually exists in the traps table. Also, we setup the
inspect_id primary key as
AUTOINCREMENT so that the database adds sequential integers automatically.
TRIGGER. We want our database to calculate for each entry of inspection data the interval in days between this new entry and the last entry on that trap, and with the same species. We do this with a trigger function. More background on trigger functions is available on the Sqlite website. Here's the code we use:
--- Trigger function to update interval column on each insert --- Automatically sets the interval in days since last inspection --- When an inspection date is entered earlier than any other inspection --- for the trap/species combination then the first date is taken --- from the place_date of that trap CREATE TRIGGER update_inspection_interval AFTER INSERT ON inspections BEGIN UPDATE inspections SET interval = CASE WHEN (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM inspections i WHERE i.inspect_date<NEW.inspect_date AND i.species=NEW.species AND i.trap_id=NEW.trap_id)==0 THEN (SELECT julianday(t1.inspect_date)-julianday(t2.place_date) FROM inspections t1 JOIN traps t2 ON t1.trap_id=t2.trap_id WHERE t1.inspect_id=inspections.inspect_id) ELSE (SELECT julianday(t1.inspect_date) - MAX(julianday(t2.inspect_date)) FROM inspections t1 JOIN inspections t2 ON t1.trap_id = t2.trap_id WHERE t1.inspect_date > t2.inspect_date AND t1.species = t2.species AND t1.inspect_id = NEW.inspect_id) END WHERE inspect_id = NEW.inspect_id; END;Looks complicated, but when we split the statement into parts, all will become clear. The first line creates the trigger on the table
inspections and sets it to run after each new insert. This means that when the trigger's
UPDATE runs, we already will have access to the new row of data that was just inserted. The outer
UPDATE clause is terminated, at the line before the last with the WHERE expression:
WHERE inspect_id = NEW.inspect_id;. This says to update only the row with the new inspect_id.
CASE...WHEN...THEN...ELSE... expression. Within the
WHEN clause we count how many rows in the
inspections table have dates earlier than the newly inserted row, with the same trap and same species. If this count is zero, then this is the first inspection of the season, so we go to the traps table, aliased as "t2" and extract the initial placement date of the trap. Recall from the create table that we added a
place_date column for each trap. When the trap is inspected for the first time, we set the interval as number of days since the trap was originally placed. We chose the correct trap by doing a
JOIN between the traps table and the inspections using the
trap_id as the common key.
inspections table and searches, using the
WHERE clauses, for rows with an earlier date. This is done by comparing, or doing a
JOIN between two instances of the same table, called "t1" and "t2". This practice is common when we need to evaluate data from different rows in the same table. The
JOIN between the two instances of the inspections table is on the
trap_id column. The clause
WHERE t1.inspect_date > t2.inspect_date insures that we are comparing the same trap but from an earlier date, and the same species is found with the help of:
AND t1.species = t2.species.
julianday() which returns the number of days since Jan 1, 4713 BCE. Subtracting the Julian Day of the previous inspection from the Julian Day of the current inspection is a simple way to get the interval in days.
VIEW. A thorough explanation of spatial VIEWs appears in the Spatialite Cookbook. This
VIEW will be spatial in that it contains the
geometry for each trap, but also the inspection date, species and the calculated FTD as "number of captures/interval" from the
inspections table. Here's the SQL expression to create a sample VIEW:
--- This VIEW is created as a spatial POINT feature for display in QGIS --- The VIEW contains columns with "FTD Males" and FTD Females" --- as well as inspection date --- So they can be filtered in QGIS for displaying data for specific dates CREATE VIEW capitata_ftd AS SELECT t1.ROWID AS rowid, t1.trap_id, t1.inspect_date, CAST(CAST(t1.num_males AS REAL)/t1.interval AS REAL) AS "FTD Males", CAST(CAST(t1.num_females AS REAL)/t1.interval AS REAL) AS "FTD females", t2.trap_type, t2.geometry FROM inspections t1 JOIN traps t2 ON t1.trap_id = t2.trap_id WHERE t1.species='C.capitata'; --- Add VIEW metadata INSERT INTO views_geometry_columns (view_name, view_geometry, view_rowid, f_table_name, f_geometry_column, read_only) VALUES ('capitata_ftd','geometry','rowid','traps','geometry',1);In the created VIEW, the virtual columns "FTD Males" and "FTD Females" are calculated on the fly. Since both the interval (days) and the num_males and num_females are integers, we add the
CAST keyword to force FTD to be a real number. The VIEW above filters out the species Ceratitis capitata. Additional VIEWs can be created in a similar way for each species of pest in the database. Each row in the VIEW will contain the trap_id, inspection date, calculated FTD, and also the geometry. The
rowid column is required by QGIS for displaying spatial views. The final
INSERT INTO views_geometry_columns... statement sets up the required items in the Spatialite metadata table for viewing in QGIS, which I'll present in the next installment.
create_pests_db.sql" with the above set of SQL commands from here. Within Spatialite-gui, click "Execute an SQL script", and point to this script file to create a new, empty Spatialite database exactly as above. The downloaded zip file also contains a pest.sqlite database already populated with data (traps and inspections) and a QGIS project file using that Spatialite database.]]>
Firstly, the new metadata files are formatted for easy parsing. But more importantly, we now have a pair of parameters titled RADIANCE_MULT_BAND_* and RADIANCE_ADD_BAND_* (one pair for each band). With these parameters we can calculate the Top Of Atmosphere (TOA) reflectance directly, without the need for the intermediary step of radiometric calibration. Read the Using USGS Landsat 8 website for full details. These two parameters are parallel to the well known gain and bias parameters from earlier Landsat missions, however they already take into account Esun and the earth-sun distance. Thus reflectance can be obtained straight-away. We only need to divide by the sun zenith angle to get corrected TOA relectance.
We GRASS users can easily put the above numbers into an
r.mapcalc expression to get reflectance for each band. But we also want to take advantage of the scripting capabilities of GRASS to batch process all bands for several tiles. Choosing python for our scripting language we have access to the OS libraries we need as well as the GRASS python library. We first loop through all the Landsat 8 directories in some top level folder where we downloaded the original tiles. We read through the metadata file for each tile, creating a python dictionary of the entries we need. Now we implement an inner loop to import each of the individual bands in the tile as a GRASS raster. Then we run the mapcalc module on each band, creating TOA reflectance for that band. When the inner loop finishes importing and processing all the bands, the outer loop moves to the next Landsat directory and cycles thru the bands in that tile, etc.
For those interested in the nitty-gritty, you're welcome to clone a small python script I've put on github that does the above.]]>

I wrote about creating isohyetal contours some years ago. This time I'll try to improve my interpolation by using the powerful, open source R statistics program.
We begin with the total annual precipitation measurements at discrete locations – rain gauges. Using this point data we interpolate the rainfall everywhere in the region. The interpolation method I choose is kriging, which works with a variance distribution function, the variogram, that we prepare as part of the procedure. Furthermore, the geostatistics procedure called co-kriging allows us to apply a second, independant variable to the analysis to predict even better the interpolated values. Co-kriging is applicable only when we know that there is some correlation between the main, dependant variable and the auxiliary variable. Intuitively, we are aware that in many areas rainfall is stronger in the mountains, and less at lower elevations. So, I will examine elevation of the rain gauges as the independant auxiliary variable.
We begin by starting R, loading some required libraries, and pulling in the rain gauge data.

 library(sp)
 library(rgdal)
 library(gstat)
 # Load precipitation data
 rain.data <- "raindata_ttl_2014.csv"
 gauges <- read.csv(rain.data, col.names=c("gauge_id","precip","x","y"));

Now I load a border line, just for spatial reference, and make a simple bubble plot of the data.

 # Put data into a Spatial Data Frame
 gauges.xy <- gauges[[c("x","y")]]
 coordinates(gauges) <- gauges.xy
 border_il <- readOGR('border_il.shp', 'border_il')
 # Set the correct CRS for the gauges data
 itm_proj4 <- proj4string(border_il)
 proj4string(gauges) <- itm_proj4
 class(gauges)
 summary(gauges)
 # Have a look
 plot(gauges, pch=16, col='blue', cex=precip/20)
 plot(border_il, add=TRUE)

Here's what we get:
Now we need to determine the variogram. We start by plotting some candidate variogram models. The parameters that we need to set are "cutoff" and "width". By default, the cutoff (how far from each prediction point to go to look for real points) is chosen as one third the diagonal of the whole analysis region. And the width (the variance between real points within the cutoff) is 1/15 of the cutoff. We can get an idea how these parameters influence the model variograms by plotting some possible combinations. Once we have a good looking variogram model, we use those in the gstat variogram() function to create the model variogram:

 # Create a variogram
 # Display some possible models
 plot(gstat::variogram(precip ~ 1 , gauges, cutoff=20000, width=2000))
 plot(gstat::variogram(precip ~ 1 , gauges, cutoff=30000, width=4000))
 plot(gstat::variogram(precip ~ 1 , gauges, cutoff=70000, width=5000))
 # Once we have a visually good variogram, use those parameters:
 vg <- gstat::variogram(precip ~ 1 , gauges, cutoff=70000)

Now we have a model, and we want to let R to actually fit a variogram to the point pairs that are included in the variogram model to create a fitted curve. The following code prints the final fitted variogram values and gives us the result below:

 vg.fit <- gstat::fit.variogram(vg, vgm(700, "Exp", 20000, 300))
 # Here are the fitted variogram parameters:
 print(vg.fit)
 plot(vg, vg.fit)
 model psill range
 1 Nug 355.0346 0.00
 2 Exp 421.1879 12672.45

With that we are now prepared to run the kriging and produce a raster of predicted rainfall throughout the region.

 # create a grid onto which we will interpolate:
 # first get the range in data
 x.range <- as.integer(range(gauges@coords[,1]))
 y.range <- as.integer(range(gauges@coords[,2]))
 # now expand to a grid with 100 meter spacing:
 grd <- expand.grid(x=seq(from=x.range[1], to=x.range[2], by=100), y=seq(from=y.range[1], to=y.range[2], by=100) )
 # convert to SpatialPixel class
 coordinates(grd) <- ~ x+y
 gridded(grd) <- TRUE
 proj4string(grd) <- itm_proj4

# perform ordinary kriging prediction:
 # make gstat object to hold the krige result:
 g <- gstat(id="Precipitation", formula=precip ~ 1, data=gauges, model=vg.fit)
 precip.krige <- predict(g, model=vg.fit, newdata=grd)

The predict() function chooses ordinary kriging, based on the basic parameters we passed to the function. Now we can go ahead and plot the result. I load the RColorBrewer library to take advantage of the full set of color palettes available, and I use the spplot function from the sp package for plotting, since it easily adds contours (isohyetal lines) to the plot.

 # Some parameters for plotting
 par(font.main=2, cex.main=1.5,cex.lab=0.4, cex.sub=1)
 # Use the ColorBrewer library for color ramps
 library(RColorBrewer)
 precip.pal <- colorRampPalette(brewer.pal(7, name="Blues"))
 # plot the krige interpolation
 spplot(precip.krige, zcol='Precipitation.pred', col.regions=precip.pal, contour=TRUE, col='black', pretty=TRUE, main="Interpolated Precipitation - 2014", sub="Ordinary Kriging", labels=TRUE)

The plot of krige interpolated precipitation looks like this:
Now, as promised, let's continue on to elevation data. We import a DEM and use the R over() function to attach an elevation value to each gauge. Then we check correlation between the annual precipitation and elevation. These are the steps:

 # Now start with elevation data
 elev <- readGDAL('dem_negev.tif')
 class(elev)
 summary(elev)
 # Add elevation values to each gauge
 gauges.elev <- over(gauges, elev)
 precip.elev <- cbind(gauges, gauges.elev)
 coordinates(precip.elev) <- gauges.xy
 proj4string(precip.elev) <- itm_proj4
 # Check that we have the elevations in a spatial data frame
 names(precip.elev)
 # the column "band1" contains the elevation values
 # Now check for correlation between precipitation and elevation
 cor.test(precip.elev$band1, precip.elev$precip)

Checking the output of the cor.test() function we see:

 Pearson's product-moment correlation
 data: precip.elev$band1 and precip.elev$precip
 t = 0.331, df = 96, p-value = 0.7414
 alternative hypothesis: true correlation is not equal to 0
 95 percent confidence interval:
 -0.1657725 0.2306346
 sample estimates:
 cor
 0.03375868

But, we don't give up so easily. Let's go back a few years to the winter of 2010. Anyone dealing with rainfall and flooding in the Negev desert remembers that season and the storms of January. We had once in 50 year floods in several wadis throughout the south due to very heavy rains in the Negev mountains. Let's search thru the archives to pull out the annual rainfall data for that year, and try to correlate with elevation. I rerun all the above steps for the gauge data for 2010. Of course the variogram will be different, and I obtain the ordinary kriging result as below:
Now I load the same elevation dataset and as above I test correlation between the precipitation data and elevation values:

 cor.test(precip.2010.elev$band1, precip.2010.elev$precip)
 Pearson's product-moment correlation

data: precip.2010.elev$band1 and precip.2010.elev$precip
 t = 6.6778, df = 71, p-value = 4.552e-09
 alternative hypothesis: true correlation is not equal to 0
 95 percent confidence interval:
 0.4562349 0.7447525
 sample estimates:
 cor
 0.6211078

Well, a correlation of 0.62 is nothing to write home about, but is does indicate some reasonable level of correlation. Additionally, the p-value is very low, meaning that there is a high level of confidence that the resulting correlation is accurate. So let's forge ahead and use the elevation values to (hopefully) improve our precipitation estimation.
We first need to redo the gstat object to hold both variables:

 # recreate g, the gstat object with a second variable
 rm(g)
 g <- gstat(id="Precip", formula=precip ~ 1, data=precip.2010.elev, model=vgm(psill=2000, model="Exp", range=100000, nugget=50))
 g <- gstat(g, id="Elevation", formula=band1 ~ 1, data=precip.2010.elev, model=vgm(psill=100000, model="Exp", range=50000, nugget=10))
 vg <- gstat::variogram(g)
 # Make the multivariable variogram (Linear Model of Coregionalization)
 vg.fit <- fit.lmc(vg, g, vgm(psill=2000, model="Exp", range=100000, nugget=50))
 # Graph the model and experimental variograms
 plot(vg, vg.fit)

Note that we us the fit.lmc() function to create a fitted variogram with multiple variables, each variable with its own set of sill and range parameters. And we must add a non-zero nugget value to insure that the Linear Model of Coregionalization will be chosen.
The plot() shows us three variograms: one for elevation, one for precipitation, and a third for the covariance of the two variables together.
What's left is to rerun the predict() function, and note that it chooses co-kriging:

 # Now predict() should create a CoKriging interpolation
 precip.2010.cokrige <- predict.gstat(vg.fit, newdata=grd)
 Linear Model of Coregionalization found. Good.
 [using ordinary cokriging]

and here's our new estimate of distribution of precipitation for 2010. Compared to the ordinary kriging map for 2010 above, we can identify an obvious change of rainfall distribution in the western mountain regions:

ArcGIS also numbers the directions from the east but clock-wise, and in steps of powers of 2: 1,2,4,8,16, etc. This allows ArcGIS to calculate "in-between" directions when multiple surrounding cells have the same elevation, and the flow direction is not unique. GRASS, on the other hand, handles this situation by "looking further" along the flow direction to find where the overall flow is going, and then determines which of the multiple directions to choose. This is called a least-cost search algorithm, and should produce better results especially in flat and nearly flat regions.
So I want to create the flow_dir raster in GRASS, but the results need to use the ArcGIS numbering scheme. This is accomplished simply with a reclass command. Here's the reclass rules file I use:
echo "1 -1 = 128
2 -2 = 64
3 -3 = 32
4 -4 = 16
5 -5 = 8
6 -6 = 4
7 -7 = 2
8 -8 = 1
0 = 255" > f_dir_reclass
First, you might ask why the negative numbers? GRASS uses negative direction to indicate that the flow from this cell is going off the map. But the absolute value still indicates the direction. So both 4 and -4 mean west, which in Arc terms is 16. Also, GRASS uses 0 to indicate a sink = no flow at all from this cell. ArcGIS implements a method to insure that single cell sinks are not used by combining values from different flow directions. So I simply set this situation to 255 = the sum of all the other directions.
Now I need only do:
r.reclass input=f_dir output=f_dir_arc rules=f_dir_reclass
to get a reclassed raster in the Arc style of numbered directions.]]>

I'll look forward to another visit thru the winter – hopefully after some rainfall – when I expect to see even more growth.]]>
