John Metcalfe
John Metcalfe was CityLab's Bay Area bureau chief, covering climate change and the science of cities.
Animal researchers have no universally accepted scale of interspecies IQ. That's because each creature, from the lowly field mouse to the majestic bald eagle, has evolved a specific skill set that makes comparisons hard. Who's to say that a cat's knack for automatically mapping its environment is "smarter" than a pigeon's talent for solving math problems?
Our human opinion of what constitutes a keen intellect also makes ranking animals problematic. "When 'intelligent' behavior is language or tool use or abstract thought, humans trump every other critter out there," says Laurie Santos, the director of Yale's Comparative Cognition Laboratory.
"But if we had, say, spatial navigation as the intelligent behavior, then New York City cabbies would have their butts kicked by rats," she says. "And if we had flight, echolocation, nest building, etc., our species wouldn't even be in the running."
In other words, what we see when gazing into a public park – squirrels furiously digging, rats scurrying in the underbrush, pigeons pecking at everything – is in fact an intricate ballet of counting, memorizing, threat detecting and problem solving. What are some of these animal abilities that are surprisingly advanced but mostly hidden from human notice? Have a look at this field guide to the brainy talents of some of the most common animals with which we humans come into contact, and which just might make you fear the raccoons of the future:
Columba livia
When most city livers look at pigeons, they probably see bloated waddlesacks of breadcrumbs that do little but eat and defecate. But these birds are fiendishly advanced in terms of what they can recognize. As a New Zealand researcher recently demonstrated, they can learn to count items in groups of one, two and three. Then, without any more preparation, they could go on to determine the value of higher numbers – that nine is more than six, say, even though they haven't encountered quantities that big before. Most children don't learn to understand quantity until they're around 4.
A pigeon's ability to notice stuff extends to its own self. In 2011, Tokyo researchers interacting with caged birds noticed they not only could recognize themselves in a mirror, but also in a video recording with a delay of up to seven seconds. Compare that to 3-year-old children, who have trouble recognizing themselves in videos with a mere 2 second delay. More crazily, they have the capacity to tell apart photos of different people and also paintings executed by different artists – grouping together the works of Van Gogh versus Picasso, for instance. That's led some people to speculate they know the difference between "good" and "bad" art.
City squirrels have their share of pratfalls: getting so fat they get stuck in tree holes, blasting off into the air after biting a live powerline. But they're incredibly adept at building up and managing a complex network of food caches. The squirrel spends the fall burying nuts to chomp on during winter months, and the quality-control process is amazing. It cherry-picks nuts from the best trees; shakes them probably to ascertain their quality and drops inferior ones; and selects patches of earth to entomb them that are not too moist (for rotting) or too arid (where the escaping nut-smell could tip off other hungry animals).
Squirrels are misanthropic creatures, choosing to eat nuts at the end of branches while growling at any other squirrel that approaches. Their antisocial tendencies come across in their burying behavior, which can be described as "paranoid." They do something called "scatter hoarding," placing single nuts in single holes all over the place. That way, they don't risk another squirrel stumbling on their entire winter-food supply and wiping it out.
In what seems to be a combination of memory, smell and landmark detection, squirrels are able to find the vast majority of nuts they've buried. That's remarkable, given the extent of their hoard. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, who have studied the resident fox squirrels on campus for decades, found that about 70 of them maintained a network of more than 1,000 holes. Said one scientist: "Think of them as little bankers depositing money and spreading it out in different funds, and doing some management of those funds." And all that without Excel spreadsheets!
Canis lupus familiaris
Dogs are no doubt intelligent: They've trained us, as a species, to carry their poo around in bags. But they also can be adept with language, with vocabularies on par with specially trained apes and dolphins. Evidence for their linguistic skills comes from "Rico," a German Border Collie that learned the names of more than 200 objects and could fetch them on command. While the hound's word-trove fell short of what's needed for a good Scrabble game, researchers did note that it appeared to be "fast mapping," or quickly associating objects with labels – a skill seen in young children learning to speak for the first time. Subsequent studies have found Border Collies that know the names for up to 1,022 toys, making these specific dogs not just the smartest, but perhaps most spoiled mutts in existence.
If you need more proof that our rear end-smelling, napkin-scarfing companions are actually quite brainy, other studies have found that they can read body language to identify who's most likely to feed them. Dogs also get potty trained at a few months, as opposed to humans' two to three years, and there's evidence they know how to count given how they gape in confusion at food bowls with treats secretly added or removed. That's at least as smart as a 5-month-old kid. (On the dumb side, dogs don't recognize their own reflections, maybe because they sense things via odor.)
Corvus corax
Ravens are scary smart, with a canniness that in certain aspects exceeds that of great apes. They seem to act not only by instinct but through methodical plans. In one study, scientists confronted ravens with a puzzle consisting of a piece of food tied to a string. One end of the string was fastened to their perch, while the end with the food went over the wall of a wire screen to dangle somewhere below them (diagram here). After pondering this setup for a couple minutes, the ravens alternately pulled the string with their beaks and stepped on it, gradually raising the food until it toppled over the wall and into their cages. The ease with which they did this made the researchers believe they were using logic, something that is thought to be lacking around most of the animal kingdom.
Ravens can also recognize individual birds that have stolen their hidden food caches, and won't hide any other food while in the company of the thief. And something that makes them seem stupid – their favorite pastime of sneaking up to larger animals and pecking the crud out of them – is more evidence of their aptitude. While it's dangerous, this behavior is teaching them about the temperament and reaction speed of potential predators, like how a pro boxer would perform some throwaway jabs to gauge the skill of an opponent.
Felis catus
With a yen for squishing into tiny spaces and chasing imaginary prey, cats are strange in many ways. One of the strangest, most extraordinary things about them is the way they learn to map their environment. While a human might glance around a room to comprehend what coffee table or TV stand they don't want to bang against, a cat makes these memories by physically interacting with the object.
Canadian researchers made this finding a couple years ago by putting meowers through a test involving a removable barrier. When the cat stepped over the barrier to get to its food, that memory was cemented in its brain – it would always lift its legs at that point, even if the barrier was taken away. But if it only saw the obstacle from afar, it would invariably trip over it when going for its treat. While researchers don't fully understand why this happens, they surmise it has something to do with the motor cortex sending signals to different parts of the brain, one that causes body movement and the other that memorizes terrain. On a side note, the average human child doesn't learn to use maps until about 5 years of age.
Rattus norvegicus
It may come as a shock that one of the most detested pests in human history, the rat, appears to share a celebrated human attribute: altruism. Chicago researchers demonstrated this in 2011 by putting two rats in a cage, with one free to roam about and the other locked inside a small enclosure. Out of the 30 "free" rats tested, 23 head-butted or leaned against the enclosure until it opened to free their trapped kin. Their concern for the penned-up rodents lasted in a subsequent experiment when a duplicate enclosure of delicious chocolate was added to the cage. Most of the rats chose to release the prisoners before they went for the food. The animals wound up eating it together.
Procyon lotor
With their little sausage fingers and thumbs, raccoons already draw comparisons to humans. But now there's evidence they're actually exploiting human civilization to grow smarter. Researchers have known for more than a century they're very hands-on; in 1907, one psychologist showed they could undo a series of latches to escape from cages (and then do it quicker the second time around). A couple years ago, wildlife experts discovered that raccoons in Toronto had gotten even more dexterous. Using night cameras, they witnessed the creatures unlocking garbage cans that people had tried to raccoon-proof. The implications of that are disturbing, according to animal biologist Sue MacDonald:
"One of the things we are doing is providing them with bigger and bigger challenges, so you have probably seen raccoon-proof garbage and all these things to try to keep them from figuring things out.... But in fact they always do, so humans are selecting these traits in raccoons, and we're actually shaping an über-raccoon that is going to be able to compete in an urban environment."
The cauldron from which this super-raccoon will eventually rise is no doubt Toronto, whose legions of the beasts grow to epically large sizes and show no fear at all toward humans. Look, here's one fashionista who even made a living jacket out of them.
We must prepare for a protracted battle with coronavirus. But there are changes we can make now to prepare locked-down cities for what's next.
Will COVID-19 change how cities are designed? Michele Acuto of the Connected Cities Lab talks about density, urbanization and pandemic preparation.
As the coronavirus crisis forces changes in transportation, some cities are building bike lanes and protecting cycling shops. Here's why that makes sense.
There's a fatal history behind the claim that African Americans are more resistant to diseases like Covid-19 or yellow fever.
Urban resilience expert Michael Berkowitz shares ideas about how U.S. cities can come back stronger from the social and economic disruption of coronavirus.

Battling Childhood Asthma
A version of this article appears in the July/August 2006 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
June 22, 2006
A better tomorrow for all of us depends on creating healthy living conditions for children in affordable housing.
While childhood asthma rates nationally are estimated to be 5%–10% of the population, rates in urban neighborhoods of Boston are in the 25% range, and rates among public housing children may be even higher, based on studies by Boston area pediatricians and academics.The Healthy Public Housing Initiative (HPHI), a Boston-based project to improve the health of children with asthma living in public housing by improving their home environment, has completed its initial work. Much of our effort focused on pest control and the reduction of pestrelated allergens and asthma triggers.

text: Many people don't realize that there is a species of seahorse that calls the Chesapeake Bay its home. The lined seahorse, hippocampus erectus, lives in shallow eel grass beds during the summer and moves to deeper submerged aquatic vegetation during the winter. It can typically be found in the lower to middle Chesapeake Bay and, in particularly dry years when the water is saltier, as far north as Kent Island and the Bay Bridge. Lined Seahorse at National Aquarium, Baltimore Photo courtesy of Michael Bentley The lined seahorse varies drastically in both coloration and ornamentation. Individuals can range from a yellowish color all the way down the spectrum to a nearly black color. Some may have intricate ornamentation on their backs and their heads. Additionally, they can change color slightly to match their surroundings. As with all seahorses, males carry a pouch which they use to hold their young after breeding. Breeding itself is complicated, it includes a drawn-out ritual of dancing and clicking between the male and female. At the end of the courtship, females deposit their eggs into the male's pouch where they are fertilized and held until ready to be released (about 2 weeks). Lined seahorses vary in color, pattern and ornamentation Seahorses as a whole are ineffective swimmers. They only use three of their fins (two pectoral fins and one dorsal fin) to swim. They beat these fins rapidly to provide propulsion, but it is not enough to keep them stationary in even the most gentle of currents. It is because of this that they require something to hold on to. For our local lined seahorses in the Chesapeake, that something is often eel grass, as well as other submerged aquatic vegetation. These grasses are vital to the seahorses' ability to hunt, breed and just plain survive. Seahorses are ambush predators and so they need something to anchor themselves to while hunting. As they hide, prehensile tails attached to the eel grass, they wait for prey to float by their snouts. Lined seahorses have very small fins, making it hard for them to swim. Unfortunately, eel grass is in trouble in the Chesapeake Bay. Nutrient pollution from farms, sewage and other human activities often leads to large algal blooms, which grow near the surface of the water and block light that the grasses need to grow. Additionally, destructive fishing techniques like bottom trawling can rip up huge swaths of submerged aquatic vegetation, causing wide-spread loss of habitat. Because they are so specialized in their habitat needs, lined seahorses have little hope of successfully hunting and breeding without the grasses. These pressures are threatening seahorses worldwide. As a result of these and other conservation pressures, it is estimated that the world's lined seahorse population has declined by at least 30 percent in the past 10 years. We must begin to take steps to preserve the local habitat, or we risk losing this very interesting and important Chesapeake Bay species. What you can do to help: Reduce waste runoff, which pollutes waters like the Chesapeake Bay. Control insects using natural controls instead of pesticides. Americans directly apply 70 million pounds of pesticides to home lawns and gardens each year and, in so doing, kill birds and other wildlife and pollute our precious water resources. Dispose of motor oil and anti-freeze through a local service station or recycling center. A one-quart container of oil disposed of at the local landfill can contaminate up to 2 million gallons of drinking water and the water home of our seahorse friends. Don't pour anything down storm drains because they lead to the bay, which connects to the ocean. Most sewer systems and wastewater treatment plants do not remove poisonous cleaners, and yard and car-wash chemicals make their way into local waterways, and, eventually, into our ocean, harming animals along the way. You wouldn't want to swim in those chemicals, and neither do animals! Learn more!

Bruiser by Neal Shusterman
But his confrontation with the Bruiser isn't what he expected. Brewster, aka Bruiser, doesn't fight back, even though he's big enough to pound Tennyson down. But it's what Tennyson sees that makes him realize there's more than meets the eye. Brewster's back is covered with scars, bruises, bump, blisters…like someone has beaten the living daylights out of him….
And that's where the story truly begins. Brewster and his little brother Cody live with his Uncle Hoyt, a mean drunk who works a steamroller at night and stays home during the day. Uncle Hoyt keeps Brew and Cody close, not wanting any outsiders in their "circle" and when Tennyson and Bronte step over that boundary, they don't quite understand what they stepped into….
Strange coincidences – Tennyson's bruised knuckles from lacrosse disappear, Bronte's sprained ankle feels instantly better….and when they're around Brew, they notice his red, injured knuckles and the limp he now has. Cody knows the secret and knows that his big brother would never let anything hurt him. Now Bronte and Tennyson know his secret as well, but they don't know all of it or the ramifications it will have not only on Brewster himself, but on their family and friends as well.
If your family is falling apart; if you want so badly to be the next MVP; if you want to make a person's life better by showing them true friendship….how far will you go? But more importantly, would you be willing to sacrifice one for the sake of all? Which hurts more – living in your own bubble without any meaningful relationships or caring for the people around you and making whatever hurts them your own?
I know I have an amazing book in my hands when I read through it in one sitting, but don't want to read it all because then it'll be over. Such is the case with Neal Shusterman's newest YA novel. This isn't just about child abuse, but something much deeper, much more emotional, and very thought-provoking. What seems innocent and helpful at first can be deadly and dangerous if put in the wrong hands. Shusterman not only wields a powerful tale told in different voices of the main characters, but also works magic on the reader by pulling them in on a rollercoaster ride of emotional and edge of your seat situations. I also loved his subtle use of vocabulary enhancement as well…something all readers get when they read, perhaps more so with this book. Excellent read for all secondary grade levels.

Wildthorn by Jane Eagland
Living in a home with the perfect Victorian mother as a model, Louisa struggles against her mother's wishes and runs to her father for support. And it's there that her father gives Louisa a look at the "other side," a place of learning about medicine, reading and studying Latin, wanting more from life than scones, teas and garden parties. And Louisa wants this so badly.
Because of her gregarious nature, Louisa fights against becoming a gentlewoman. At her aunt's house, she shows her true nature by speaking outright against the position women are held in and wants nothing of marriage, but a career instead. And this alarms her family more than she realizes…
With the passing of her father, the fate of her future now rests with her brother Tom, who is now head of household. He has deemed it fit for Louisa to become a companion to a friend's sister, and there she must find her meaning in life. But what she doesn't realize is that she's been committed by her family to Wildthorn, the local insane asylum, to cure her of her "insanity." And it's at Wildthorn that will make or break Louisa, but is her will strong enough to survive the horrors she faces there?
This is Eagland's first YA novel, and she tackles the historical side of Victorian England from all viewpoints, including parents, siblings, fiancees, men and women. What the reader realizes after reading this book is that problems young women face today are the same ones they faced over a hundred years ago. The only difference is the way these problems have been handled by society. Eagland writes not only about the forward movement of women into the workforce, but tackles personal issues as well, including assault against teens and feelings Louisa has toward the "gentler sex." The setting takes main stage in this book, looking at the horrors of what happened in an insane asylum in the Victorian Age. The only caveat would be the epilogue, which seemed to be a hasty happy ending of Louisa's and Eliza's relationship with each other. Otherwise, the allusions, situations, and twists Eagland writes within her novel makes this an outstanding new debut for YA fiction.

The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting
Violet knew she had an unusual gift the day she found the dead body when she was nine years old....Flash foward...
Vi is now a junior in high school. She has a pretty good life, her circle of friends are there for her, her best friend since third grade, Jay, is still her best friend. She has parents and an uncle who love her. Life couldn't be better. Except for the imprints...What are they? They're what's left of animals or people the moment they die. They linger, following and finding Vi through sound or color. Vi can see which people have imprints, from war veterans to policemen and firefighters. She can also see the imprints left on the dead...
HE is looking for his next victim. He can't help himself. The hunt is extravagant...making him feel so good. He looks for those that are alone, the beautiful helpless one, and takes her. But his hunting grounds have to change. Restrictions are now making him hunt in a more confined area. But he's careful, because he's been doing this for years...
Vi's friendships, especially with Jay are slowly changing. She can't shake the feeling that she wants to be more with her best friend, but at the same time is afraid of losing him as a friend if he doesn't feel the same way. What is a girl to do? And then she finds another body, this time at a party at the lake, and the imprint is calling out to her louder than ever before....
HE can't believe the body was found so quickly? What does the sheriff's niece know and how? He thought he was being smart, hunting quickly and quietly. He's decided this girl who keeps finding his body may have to be next....
What an excellent mystery novel! Not only does Derting use murder mystery as a backdrop, but she is able to deftly weave in a story about friendship, love and connections at the same time. The two even each other out, while not losing the reading to either storyline. The reader gets to know all the characters involved with each other, and will think they know who the elusive "HE" is but like all good mysteries, not until the last part of the book. And yes...there is a twist! Sensual, supernatural, suspenseful all wrapped up in a great YA novel! Highly recommended.

You Are Not Here by Samantha Schutz
Annaleah loves Brian. He's the one....the one that makes her feel weak in the knees. The one whose kisses she craves and whose arms feels best around her. Annaleah would do anything for him. She forgives him when he doesn't return phone calls. And forgives him again when he says he'll show up but doesn't. And she'll forgive him again when he says he'll meet her friends, but he doesn't...
And then the most terrible thing in the world happens. Brian dies...and Annaleah goes into a tailspin. She has her friends Marissa, Parker and Joy who want to help, but she pushes them away. She has her mother, but doesn't want to tell her anything. She's fallen into a depression that wraps its arms around her and kisses her, promising to stay with her if she's faithful. And she is. Annaleah goes to Brian's grave, lays down beside him and tells him everything.
Slowly life changes. Her friends move on, her mother continues to work, and Annaleah is left alone with the Dearly Departed and Brian. But it takes someone and something to alter her life and see it for what it truly is. But can Annaleah resist the urge to isolate herself or fall headlong into the only comfort zone she knows?
Schutz has written a beautiful novel in verse about how one teen deals with depression on her own terms and slowly realizes the world she's created. Readers will know from the onset the persona of Brian and feel for Annaleah, while also trying to help her friends get her to know the truth. This is a fast read of a great story about love, loss and healing, with perfect characterization that will take the reader to the ending. A perfect pairing for those who enjoy novels from Lisa Schroeder. Recommended.

Something Like Fate by Susane Colasanti
Junior year is upon Lani. She's been looking at the stars and tracking her horoscope and knows this year will be the best ever. She has her friends Erin and Blake beside her, and although she's not part of the Golden Circle, she is still likeable by her classmates.
Erin, her best friend, is also ready for high school, especially when she sees Jason, the guy she's been crushing on. Erin usually gets what she wants, and Lani is there cheering her on. Blake is hoping to get through his last year without any bumps in the road, and Lani is keeping his secret. Life couldn't get any better.
But then summer arrives, and as with all summers, life unexpectedly changes. Lani faces some major challenges before her senior year ever starts. And the biggest obstacle? How to tell her best friend that Jason and her are seeing each other. And Blake's secret? Oops.... Senior year isn't what Lani is hoping or wishing for, and the fates are definitely working against her.
Need some light and fun reading? This is one to pick up. It's a definite magnet for girls to want to read. What can be more taboo that dating someone's ex when the ex won't let go? Colasanti has weaved together two episodes in one life about love, friendship, betrayals, and healing. This will be one handed from one girl to another!

I am headed to Brazil in a couple days and I am looking forward to the nice warm weather, seeing good friends and a Prima filled week with classes, demos, etc...it will be so fun!
Today, I wanted to share a really fun book I created for CHA, using the Julie Nutting chipboard house book with dolls, flowers and all kinds of pretty things! This book was a labor of love-cutting out all of the girls, choosing just the right colors and making it wonderful!
I used Prima's Free Spirit collection throughout the book. I love the bright colorful images in this line and it worked perfectly with the doll stamp images.
I mixed and matched an assortment of flowers throughout the pages-it was so fun to put them together!
I stamped and cut out the card sized dolls to add to the flower clusters-they look so cute!
The ATC pads made adding the backdrops for photos so easy! I just popped them up with foam squares and distressed the edges for a shabby look...
Don't you just love the girls mixed in with the flowers? All of the hard work cutting out the small images was well worth it!
The binding rings in the book make it so easy to work on pages and then add them in as you go...
I hope you like this project and it inspires you to create something beautiful! I will be back with more fun projects when I return from my trip! Have a great day!
xoxo Cari

The First Drafts beer blog has moved!
Hey, Colorado beer fans! We've moved.
The Denver Post's First Drafts beer blog is getting new real estate at denverpost.com/beer. And it will look even shinier next week when the Post debuts its new website.

Dallas Theological Seminary Scholarship Program
The Scholarship Program at Dallas Theological Seminary (DTS) provides tuition aid and other financial assistance for Dallas Theological Seminary students from the United States and around the world. The DTS Scholarship Committee selects qualified candidates for scholarship awards based on their financial need and other requirements as established by DTS and the terms of scholarship agreements established by donors.
Students often face great financial pressure during graduate studies, and many students do not have the support of their families to study God's Word and prepare for ministry. While the seminary strives to keep tuition rates low, graduate level education is costly. Most students work at least part time while trying to balance work, study, family life, and ministry commitments. When they graduate their income will likely continue to be modest.
By contributing to a DTS Scholarship Fund you not only reduce the financial burden a student bears, you make an investment into the Word of God and lives of pastors, women's ministry influencers, and missionaries worldwide. Your gift to a new or existing scholarship affords students both the support and the encouragement to start and finish seminary so they can pursue the ministry to which God has called them.
There are a number of different types of scholarships to consider, all of which are very important to DTS students. You may choose to establish distinct funds and name them in honor or memory of someone, or you may wish to contribute to a variety of General Scholarship funds. Following is a brief description of some of the Scholarship options.
- A minimum gift of $1,500 and an annual commitment for at least five years is required to establish a Current Scholarship.
- No fees are charged to establish or administer a Current Scholarship.
- A minimum gift of $25,000 is required. A donor may build the fund to $25,000 through smaller gifts; however, distribution will not occur until the fund reaches $25,000.
- There is no cost to establish an Endowed Scholarship, but a small fee is assessed quarterly to cover the cost of investment management and administration.
- The principal is invested and a portion of the investment value is distributed each year (currently 5%).
The Foundation currently manages a number of established scholarships. Some are very general, while others have more specific criteria, such as students pursuing PhD studies, both American and international; students in various departments (New Testament, Old Testament, or Counseling); students with certain ministry goals (chaplaincy, overseas service, or discipleship in the business community). Anyone can contribute to any of these and other scholarship accounts. If you have a certain area of interest, the Foundation can help direct your scholarship giving to that area.
The Foundation will assist you in developing a Scholarship Fund or directing your giving in a way that meets your desires for supporting men and women who wish to be formally trained to impact the world for Christ.
Create your own student scholarship using our Scholarship Establishment form.
For more information about giving into an existing scholarship or establishing your own scholarship, please contact:

Thank you for visiting the combinatorial object server, otherwise known as COS. We hope that you will find it informative and useful.
The idea is that you specify a type of combinatorial object, together with specific parameter values, and COS will return to you a list of all such objects. COS can generate permutations, combinations, various types of trees, unlabelled graphs, linear extensions of posets, pentomino puzzle solutions, numerical partitions, and a host of other combinatorial objects. In some instances you may specify the order in which the objects are generated (such as lexicographic or a Gray code order). Almost always the output may be presented in a variety of formats which you may specify. These different formats include well-known correspondences and representations of the objects. For example, permutations may be ouput in one-line notation, in cycle notation, or as a pair of Standard Young Tableau under the Schensted correspondence.
We hope that a great variety of people will use COS. It is meant to be used by researchers and educators who wish to easily produce list of combinatorial objects. The elementary objects such as permutations, combinations, and subsets are well-known and studied in the elementary and secondary schools. In fact, there's another version, called The Amazing Mathematical Object Factory, and directed to K12 students and educators, that used to run on Canada's "Schoolnet" before they broke it (the previous link is now to the local version) -- please give it a try if you're looking for something simpler and less comprehensive than COS. On COS, there are some recreational items, such as pentomino puzzle solutions which can be understood by anyone. And then there's more complicated objects such as graphical partitions, linear extensions of posets, primitive polynomials, and unlabelled graphs which will be of interest to university students and scientific/mathematical researchers.
We've made considerable effort to ensure that the output of each program is correct, but we make no guarantees.
We are always curious about who is using COS. Please send us a little note if you find COS useful in your work, if you have suggestions, or if you find something not working quite right.
|This icon, which appears at the top and bottom of each page, takes you to a list of pages which broadly classifies the objects. Select the appropriate classification for the type of object you wish to generate.
|This icon, which appears at the top and bottom of each page, takes you to a list of information pages about various classes of combinatorial objects.
|This icon, which appears at the top and bottom of each page, returns you to this page.
With each type of object is an associated information page. This page provides explanation of the object, the COS options, and the algorithms used to generate the object. Where relevant we also give the number of objects of that type for small parameter values along with the corresponding number in Sloane and Plouffe's The Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (Academic Press, 1995) or in Sloane's On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences. For some of the objects programs in Pascal and/or C may be downloaded from the information page.
Note: We are in the process of migrating the COS generation engine to a new machine architecture.
Currently, the generation pages are not functioning but they will be slowly brought back on line.

Currently, the generation pages are not functioning but they will be slowly brought back on line.
Updated March 11, 2015
Each generation page starts with a table asking What Type? where you specify the type of object and possibly the ordering. Next comes a table called Input where you specify the values of the input parameters. A final table called Output is where you specify the form of the output; i.e., the representations of the combinatorial objects that are to be used on output. Exactly one "What Type" option and at least one "Output" option must be specified. Every object (with the exception of pentominoes with custom shape) requires an input parameter named n. Some, such as combinations, require at least one other parameter. Required extra parameters are mentioned under "What Type". Sometimes parameters are optional and these are indicated in smaller font by a comment enclosed in square brackets.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 115 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
Big Ugly Racing - http://www.biguglyracing.com
So why would a team name themselves "Big Ugly" you ask? Well, we didn't, our fans affectionately named us that and it's grown on us. We built a rock crawling/desert racing hybrid vehicle and debuted it at a 3 day 1000 mile desert race. Our vehicle was a foot taller and probably 1000 lbs heavier than the next biggest vehicle. At the beginning of the race, everyone laughed, but by the end of the race, we were in first place and our fans cheered us on as "Big Ugly!" It was sort of a "bad news bears do desert racing" sort of story. For the past year we've been trying to promote ourselves as 4435 Racing (our racing number), however, the fans and the sponsors always seem to remember us as Big Ugly. We're proud of our vehicle and we're proud of our accomplishments. We Rock Crawl and we Desert Race so we're a combo of slow speed technical and high speed open desert. Our fans like us because we're one of the only teams who built our own rig entirely from scratch. So our vehicle may not be the most sexy or expensive, but it works and it wins races! Our fans like that we work hard, and don't take ourselves too seriously.
Our target audience are fans of our style of racing as well as potential sponsors of our vehicle. Please look through the attached documents, particularly sample logos that are used by those in our world to help give you a feel for the edginess we're looking for. These are people who like extreme and/or hard-core type of sports. The type of sponsors we're looking to attract are those that would sponsor sport teams like those that Monster Energy Drink sponsors. Motorheads who like high speed, these folks enjoy motorcycles, quads, anything that really goes fast and pushes the limits. Some of the symbols used in the community include rocks, tire tread with lots of tread blocks (for rock climbing), and speed is also something that would be good to convey in a logo. **One thing to note: we will be building future vehicles that won't look like Big Ugly, so we'd rather not use the design of the car as part of the logo** It's important that this logo be professional enough that sponsors would want to put it on their site and on press releases. We realize the name is not the most flattering, but we think it's a story our sponsors would like to hear.
We need a logo with lines that do not overlap so it can be cut out of vinyl for the vehicle. We'd also like this design to incorporate our team colors which are black and bright orange. We're open to the logo incorporating our team number, 4435. But it doesn't need to. This logo will be used on race apparel and as the logo on our web site and in sponsorship letterl. You can check out our current web page http://www.4435racing.com to get a feel for our style. We'll need this logo in both a high end .jpg and an EPS file. We'd like a logo that doesn't require a ton of colors so we can have it put onto t-shirts without it being too costly. We've used constantia italicized for our numbers in the past, but we're not married to it.

Since we moved to Pigalle, my wardrobe has become nothing but black eco-rib tops from Reformation, cotton spandex, and vintage Levi's, all of which make sense for eating matcha cookies on the steps of Playground Duperre. I haven't worn white sneakers since 5th grade and now I practically live in them- I love the sound they don't make when I don't play basketball in them. Only my trusty trench coat, inspired by John Cusack's character in Say Anything, and Dior dresses remain.

I'm sorry to hear about your attacks!! I was desperately hunting down that Prada shirtdress recently, nothing I find is as lovely. I love both ends of your style evolution, and am envious of the ability to find such good stuff that fits. I love thrifting, but I confess the best stuff I find that fits is usually cheap polyester.ReplyDelete
I know (or think?) that you stopped using The Real Real, but I'm trying to invest in some good everyday shoes. I'm worried about sizing, seeing as I don't have places in town I can size myself in designer brands, assuming the fit is consistent across styles. Do you have any experience with Gianvito Rossi? Anyway, time for more research I guess.Replies
Aw thank you Rayna! Don't worry- I take care of myself like Gigi Hadid. Seriously, people have tried to attack me in so many countries and I never get a scratch and the other person always regrets it :) The Real Real still has good stuff but I think the prices got too high and they take too many things, so the quality is not always so good anymore. I would only buy the pieces marked "Excellent" now. I don't have experience with Gianvito Rossi but I hear great things. Maybe others will know more? He grew up in the shoe business and Sergio Rossi shoes are great so I'm sure they're good.Delete
Wow. I don't know what your secret is but I feel inspired to go get some self-defense classes, if for no other reason than, should the worst happen, being able to say "I never get a scratch and the other person always regrets it" haha!! Seriously though, good for you and glad to hear.Delete
Thanks :) My parents made sure we learned self defense early and it came in handy because I think Asians are targeted in some places. Stealing is not really a part of some Asian cultures and people prey on thatDelete
- AnonymousNovember 3, 2016 at 12:31 PM
Because Sergio Rossi was mentioned here, does anybody have experiences how the sizes run?Delete
I heard they run large and that you should take a half size smallerDelete
" I love the sound they don't make when I don't play basketball in them" hahaha this is meReplyDelete
More importantly I'm glad that you're okayReplyDelete
I love this; thanks for inspiring us with your wardrobe. I'll have to study your choices more and see where I want to whittle mine down as I'm still carrying around a few pieces I can't quite leave and can't quite wear enough :-) I agree about old 100% cotton levis! I don't like stretch in jeans (or much else except maybe sportswear) either and I also love levi cords. Nearly everything I have is thrifted except for a few handknit sweaters & scarves. All your clothes are lovely.ReplyDeleteReplies
Aw thanks!! Ok we sound like wardrobe twins, I love nothing more than thrift shop finds and handknits :) I will only wear handknits from now on. Nothing compares. Do you know why you can't quite leave some of your pieces? Thanks for the cords recommendation! My friend is eying a cord Levi's mini on eBay and wasn't sure. She had a bad experience with American Apparel corduroyDelete
I am wondering, how do you keep your sneakers so white?? Mine always seem to look grimy immediately... Thanks for the posts, they are incredibly inspiring and helpful! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Lol I have no idea! Because I always step in puddles and I wore these in a creek and the forest and didn't get a spot on them!Delete
I do wash them once a month though. Maybe it's the material? What are your sneakers made of? I notice the flyknits don't attract much dirt. You are so sweet! Thank you!
They are Nike GTS-- the white part is rubber. Just soap and water? I will try that, thanks!Delete
Yes! I use aleppo or bulk lavender soap to clean them and then dry them in the sun which I also think keeps them white. I have thrown them in the laundry machine but usually spotcleaning is fine :)Delete
And now you definitely have to write a note on how you keep your sneakers so white ;-)ReplyDeleteReplies
:) The funny thing is I am the person who can never wear white because I usually get spaghetti stains or salad dressing or chocolate or something on it and these are the only things that last...Delete
Great pictures as always...so sorry to hear of attacks...were they in France? It must be a real shock to them that you can defend yourself...also your hair looking tremendous at the moment ����ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you Francesca :) Yea in Paris both on my street- the one guy was grabbing me and I slit his arm with my nail totally on accident and he got grossed out by his own blood and left me alone.Delete
The other one was a little more complicated but I got away safe and he didn't steal anything!
Hi Ariana, can you explain more about how you arrived at your current style? It's such a departure from previous posts. Not that's a bad thing, you have lovely clothes at all stages of your style! Do you stick to any particular rules when it comes to selecting clothing? Are there any things you wouldn't consider purchasing while thrifting?ReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Emily! I'm going through a black period and also I'm sick of tying my shirts so they fit properly... so I just look for natural fibers and my only rules are no brown and no synthetics. And I only buy what I need. For instance yesterday I went thrifting looking for merino wool or cashmere sweaters and didn't find anything- there were cute jackets and stuff but I really don't need another jacket!Delete
If you don't mind my asking, what prompted you to change your style? Was it the lifestyle change only? I think I need a transition and I'm fascinated by the evolution of capsule wardrobes. I think it might be a good tool to help me hone my style with spending a lot.Delete
Just your normal ontological crisis :) I don't mind at all! And yes the lifestyle, I no longer need a mostly corporate wardrobe anymore. I shifted from the colors because of Diane Christensen in Network. It definitely is a good way to get a feel for what works and what doesn't and try combinations you wouldn't otherwise.Delete

(updated to correct my horrible spelling mistake) Oh no! You dress like me now! The universe wanted it to be the other way around, but in any case, you still pull it off better than anyone. It's a good look for biking around and eating with the dexterity of a 5 y.o. (me on both counts).Delete
Lol yes I can't eat in public, yet I still eat vegan gluten free burgers without the wrapper openly on the street, so the black hides it well. And I still bike in my dresses haha just not as often now that I have actual pants and stuff :)Delete

Thank you for this update - the review about the Reformation's Eco Rib is especially welcome. I ordered some of their pieces, tried them on, but returned them because I was worried that they would become ratty too quickly, thanks to our feline roommate. I like your new style! Less granny-chic, but still classy.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you!! Ah my cats have been lying on my shirts and they're ok still :) They are pretty durable, for the next orderDelete
Glad to know that you can take care of the attackers. You are such an inspiration. I took karate as a kid but all I got out of it was a strong distaste for martial discipline.
As always, your closet stories are inspiring. You wear your trench coat so well. I blame you for making me try one.Replies
<3 me too I don't have any desire to partake in martial arts but i think it's important in this day and age for girls to know how to defend themselves. I LOVE your trench. So beautiful.Delete
Mourning Trump adequately ? Is the distance helping ?Delete
Eh, I expected it, so the shock did not hit me too badly; I told my husband two years ago he would be president. My husband laughed. Everybody laughed. Only Trump is laughing now. I walked a Muslim neighbor to her car because people threw things at her after the election :(Delete
Hey do you still use your ASU email? Or what is the best way to get in touch? I'm going to Arcosanti in December, I'll have a car and want to see Grand Canyon, Sedona, etc. but was hoping for your advice on great hiking areas
I laughed at it all too. When Kanye announced he will run next, I put them together in the same boat. Boy was I wrong. Anyone can become the President of America apparently, provided you use the right keywords during campaigns.Delete
I check my asu email. I leave Az and you happen to visit. But yes, lets chat.

The muskrat, known to some as musquash, marsh hare, or musk beaver, is a rodent that lives both in an out of the water along most Wisconsin waterways. The name comes from the musky odor that this small mammal gives off. The muskrat is an important furbearer for Wisconsin trappers, as these "rats" are harvested for their pelts which are then sold for money.
Muskrats are mostly nocturnal (active at night) and stay close to their lodges or burrows. The muskrat can look like a beaver with brown fur and partially webbed-hind feet, but look for its long (8-10 inch), narrow, flattened, hairless, rat-like tail. Muskrats are also about half the size of a beaver, measuring 18-25 inches long. They are excellent swimmers with their rudder-like tail, specially adapted eyes, nose and unique respiratory system. Muskrats can stay underwater for up to 15 minutes to find food or escape predators like mink, foxes, great-horned owls or hawks.
Like most rodents, muskrats have several young. They usually mate in the spring during March and April after they turn one years old. After mating, in about 30 days, four to eight young are born blind and hairless in a burrow, lodge, or an open raft of vegetation. Female muskrats have an average of two litters per year.
Muskrats eat mostly plants that grow along the water's edge like cattails, bulrushes, arrowhead, sweetflag, and reeds. If there are too many muskrats in an area, they can "eat out" all the plants. They also like clams, crayfish, frogs, rough fish and carrion (dead animals) when they can be found. Near farmland, muskrats may eat corn or other crops if aquatic plants are not available. In winter, they eat underwater roots, tubers, and pondweed.
If you see a tall mound of plant material sticking above the water, that is most likely a muskrat lodge. Muskrats build these in the fall where the banks gently slope to the water and the water is deep enough to not freeze to the bottom. They burrow upward from the bottom into the lodge where a room sits above the water level in the center of the pile with several "rooms" and tunnels. In winter, several muskrats can live in one "room." Their body heat keeps the "plunge hole," or underwater entrance, from freezing. Another smaller lodge may be built nearby to give them more space under the ice to search for food. They also like to build burrows or dens along steep banks or on golf courses with wetlands and can frustrate landowners with their digging.
Muskrats are fun to watch and easy to spot as they swim along busily looking for food. Muskrat tracks are also pretty easy to find. Keep your eyes open near water for webbed feet along with a long, skinny tail dragging along in the mud or sand. If you spot some tracks, look around. There's probably one of these adaptable little critters nearby.

Best Hair and Makeup Looks Seen on Real Women at New York Fashion Week
We gave the models a break and pointed cameras at everyone from makeup artists to PR gals to photographers to capture our favorite beauty looks
See the best hair and makeup looks seen on real women at fashion week now.
After all, real women either inspire or get inspired by fashion and beauty trends that models display on the runway or on the pages of a magazine -- and we're the ones that have to make them work. Since trends seen on models or celebrities seem somehow less attainable, it was refreshing at New York Fashion Week to see everyone from makeup artists to public relations professionals to photographers recreating looks they had seen at a fashion show the day prior, or stepping up their usual hair and makeup routine in the spirit of the fashionable week.
As we approached these real women, some were slightly frightened when we pointed our cameras their way, some flattered, some confused, some annoyed, but after the initial awkwardness of approaching them passed, we think most of them felt pretty flattered. The makeup looks you're about to see range from a perfectly executed red lip to avant-garde eye makeup, and the hairstyles you'll find span from zig zag braids to dreamy waves. To top it all off, we also share real woman sporting of-the-moment nail colors and formulas. If nothing else, we hope these photos will provoke you to try a new hairdo or lip color, and we offer up steps, tips and product suggestions to help you recreate these looks.

I'm sorry but number 4 is a no no for me and number 8, only for a Halloween costume or a runway show, otherwise, it's another no no for me.

Philippe and Sabine De Mey's beautiful Georgian property enjoys a stunning waterside location at the head of Dunmanus Bay. It has always been a wonderful place to eat – and to stay - and it has been even better since 2014, when Philippe and Sabine's daughter Ann and her husband Chris ('Woody') Woodward joined the team, adding youthful enthusiasm and fun to the mix, as well as their expertise.
Everything at Blairscove revolves around the courtyard, which has been beautifully restored with cobbled paths, shrubs and flowers, and its 250-year old stone outbuildings have been converted to make four stylish suites or small apartments that are offered for self-catering or B&B.
Each one is totally individual (one large one has an open fire and is particularly appealing for a family, or for longer stays); they are furnished in very different but equally dashing styles - and there is also a self-catering cottage for eight in the grounds.
Lofty, stone-walled and black-beamed, the restaurant has great character, with a magnificent chandelier as the central feature, and impressive gilt-framed family portraits on the walls.
Sabine's brother, Ronald Klotzer, is head chef and, as well as working front of house (where he's a dab hand at explaining all the gorgeous dishes on display), Chris Woodward works with Ronald in the kitchen. Together this small but highly effective team offer the wonderful food and service that this stylishly atmospheric restaurant is known for: their unique table d'hote dinner begins with the renowned buffet starter display, which is followed by a wide choice of meat and fish dishes simply cooked on a wood-fired grill at the end of the room.
Local cheeses are offered, of course, and a meal here always ends on a high note, with the famous dessert selection - formerly displayed on the grand piano, these sweet temptations are now laid out on a sideboard, where diners enjoy lingering over the difficult choices...
Philippe is usually to be found front of house, working alongside Ann and Chris and their friendly and hospitable team - this is a restaurant on top of its (already legendary) form, and any changes noticed by returning fans are all for the good.
The carefully chosen, mainly European, wine list is quite extensive and includes half a dozen champagnes and sparkling wines, a fair choice of half bottles and some organic wines. There is also a seasonal non-alcoholic treat which is not listed - the house elderflower cordial, which is one of the best to be found anywhere in Ireland.

Drop Dead are such a nostalgic brand for me. I remember when it launched way back when and being involved in the whole scene at the time meant it was something that I followed from the start. Nowadays Drop Dead is way more than "Oli's brand" and it's a legit fashion destination. Recently the guys sent me a care package of a few things to style up and the first thing I loved was this hat. It's cute and quirky with tons of personality. The ears are just too awesome.

WPS Health Insurance to lose 600 jobs
Jobs to be eliminated include hundreds in Madison
MADISON, Wis. — One of Madison's largest employers announces it's laying-off several hundred employees.
According to information released late Friday, WPS Health Insurance will eliminate about 600 jobs. Employees will start getting notices this month and layoffs will continue in phases over the next year.
In all, 280 positions will be cut at the Madison location, and another 250 in Wausau, according to an e-mail sent to WPS employees. Wausau Mayor Jim Tipple says, he's confident many of the employees who were laid off will find other jobs within the city.
Only 50 jobs will remain at the Wausau location, where the news hit especially hard. Over the phone, other officials there say three other major businesses have recently closed, taking about 1,000 other jobs with them.
"I think you feel like there's kind of a piling-on effect. There have been a number of jobs that have been lost and in others, we've been fortunate to see job growth in other sectors, but it doesn't compensate for the jobs we've lost," said County Board of Supervisors member John Robinson. "You're always trying to find that opportunity to create new jobs, but it's tough in this economy."WPS Health Insurance to lose 600 jobs
In the case of WPS, its CEO says it lost a contract with TriWest Healthcare Alliance of Phoenix that would have served people receiving Medicare in 21 states.
In a press release, WPS CEO Mike Hamerlik says, "This is difficult for WPS and its employees, but is real and necessary and the company will focus on meeting the needs of customers."
WPS is also eliminating 70 other jobs out of state. It will offer impacted employees a severance package and they're allowed to apply for any open positions at WPS.

Migratory songbird species have shown some of the largest declines across the animal kingdom. Reasons for these declines are difficult to pinpoint. Complexities of their annual cycle—particularly those related to migration and the use of multiple habitats across continents—make it difficult to determine where a population could be experiencing problems such as habitat loss or shortage of food supplies. Basic information about migratory processes and patterns, combined with songbird natural history, is critical to our understanding of how environmental changes impact these species.

Wyoming's upper Hoback River Vallley offers a unique opportunity for BRI researchers to study local fauna. This work provides an integrated wildlife research and conservation plan for the valley, including habitat enhancement to improve the use of key wildlife species and subsequent viewing opportunities for visitors.
In 2011, BRI began monitoring efforts at the River Point Conservation Area in Falmouth, Maine, with an emphasis on tracking bird populations. Migration monitoring occurs in both spring and fall. In the summer, research efforts focus on the Veery and Tree Swallow.
Below is a selection of research projects conducted at the River Point Conservation Area:
Ever since BRI biologists discovered the threats mercury can pose to songbird populations, we have stressed the need to better understand the exposure of mercury in songbirds across North America south into Central America. Efforts to determine the effects of mercury on songbird reproductive success have emphasized the Carolina Wren, which resulted in an important publication on the topic. More investigations are planned in Latin America to better understand the impacts of mercury on neotropical migrants and tropical resident birds.
Below is a selection of songbird research projects with a focus on contaminants monitoring:
The changing technology of transmitter devices for following wildlife has resulted in new abilities to track smaller birds, like songbirds. BRI is conducting movement studies using geolocator devices in both Maine and Massachusetts. More work is planned in the future.
Below is a selection of research projects with a focus on the movement and distribution of songbirds:

First City Festival, is a festival 'first' for many, as it's named after Monterey's claim as the official "first capital" of California. It's a city that is now immersed in heritage as well as music history. A city that was the home of the state's first theatre, public library, publicly funded school, printing press, and newspaper. Monterey is currently a 'desirable vacation destination' as it also is the hub of local attractions such as: The Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row, Fisherman's Wharf, The Annual Monterey Jazz Festival, and now First City Festival. "The venue itself is so unique as it has a lot of infrastructure" said David Lefkowitz and Paul Billings who are both co-producers of the festival. "Even though it is in a large city the town has a rural feel to it, which is very historical." Considering this festival takes place in such a prestige location, many will envision First City Festival as a weekend get-a-way.
First City Festival promises a sophisticated musical line-up of 30+ bands in a relaxed and beautiful coastal setting. The festival grounds will showcase three live music performance stages plus a Vaudeville variety stage. Curated dining options will include local craft beers as well as wine and food vendors. It's considered a 'boutique festival' because it has a smaller capacity compared to neighboring festivals, but nonetheless First City Festival will deliver an intimate experience for all in attendance.
Not only will attendees at the First City Festival get the chance to see a killer lineup, but guests will get the chance to release their 'inner child' by going on endless carnival rides. "We originally did the Mumford and Sons 'Gentleman of The Road Tour' at this particular location; it was like a small town takeover" said Lefkowitz and Billings. "That particular weekend was the weekend prior to the Monterey Fair, so we were able to incorporate the carnival into it." The infamous 'ferries wheel' is always a huge hit at each and every festival, First City Festival coordinators have mastered this technique and decided to bring the 'fair to the fest', as there will be multiple carnival rides and games on site. Tickets for unlimited carnival rides are only $22.00 for two days or $15.00 for one day.
The lineup is exceptionally incredible: Passion Pit, Modest Mouse, MGMT, Neko Case, Beach House, Toro Y Moi, Washed Out, Devendra Banhart, Okkervil River, Deerhunter, The Hold Steady, Purity Ring, Delta Spirit, Dr. Dog, The Black Angels, Capital Cities, Father John Misty, Lucero, Blitzen Trapper, The Antlers, Civil Twilight, Electric Guest, Delta Rae, Avey Tare's Slasher Flicks, Tennis, The Dodos, Quadron, Akron/Family, Eli 'Paperboy' Reed, Bleached, Guards, Generationals, Jeffertitti's Nile, Seventeen Evergreen, Guy Blakeslee (Entrance), and Light Fantastic.
As if the festival and the carnival rides weren't enough, there will be festival merchandise, hand printed posters, a dueling piano, and a magician! You can continue the festival spirit until the wee-hours by attending the after parties that have been set. Saturday, August 24th a DJ set by Passion Pit will take place starting at 11pm at the Blue Fin for $27.00. Or you could attend 'The Hold Steady, with Eli 'Paperboy' Reed' starting at 10pm at the Planet Gemini for $37.00.
First City Festival will deliver an incomparable, unforgettable festival experience like none other, especially with their ability to ensure there aren't many overlapping sets. On August 24th and 25th Monterey Park will be taken over by music lovers world wide. This is one festival you won't want to miss, so grab your ticket now! For a one day pass prices are $85.00 and for $149.00 you can get a two day pass for general admission. Or you could upgrade to VIP and receive all the perks such as: VIP Entrance to festival on Saturday and Sunday, Access to special performance viewing areas, Access to exclusive VIP patio bar and lounge, Carnival Pass to enjoy unlimited rides the entire weekend, Commemorative festival t-shirt and limited edition poster.
Partners of the festival this year include: Bud Light, Global .Inheritance, Do 415, Amoeba Music, and The Bay Bridged. First City Festival is also teaming up with 'The Offset Project' to develop a zero waste initiative and reduce the carbon footprint. As described by Billings himself, First City Festival is, "Nor Cal's latest boutique music festival featuring a trio of intimate performance stages and a full old school carnival with rides and games." So come on out and experience a weekend of music, food and fresh ocean air at the site of the iconic Monterey Pop Festival.
