Ico and Shadow of the Colossus' Designer Playing with VR
Posted on the 13 December 2013 by Sameo452005 @iSamKulii
Fumito Ueda, the lead designer of Ico and Shadow of the Colossus, bought an Oculus Rift virtual reality headset to study it, he told Edge Online.
When asked what he's been playing lately, Ueda said he's been playing a bunch of games compatible with Oculus VR's virtual reality headset.
"I also bought myself an Oculus Rift, so I've been playing games compatible with that," Ueda said. "This is, of course, for the sake of study!"
According to Ueda, video games have an immersive advantage over other forms of entertainment, and virtual reality headsets have the potential to play on that advantage. It's an idea he's been interested in for more than a decade.
"Speaking in terms of mechanics, I think, rather than playing as a character that can move around freely, it is best suited to a character with movement that is somehow limited," he said. "As soon as Ico was finished, I told my boss at the time that I'd like to make a game that uses a head-mounted display, so now I'd like to research doing that. Also, this may be surprising, but one day I'd like to make a game on the theme of zombies. I'd like to try making a low-threshold game for hardware that is based around a touchpad. That's if I can come up with a well-suited idea, of course. There are many other things, too, but they're secret."
When asked what's left to try, given the proliferation of zombies in games, Ueda spoke of using the undead differently.
"With a zombie motif, in terms of AI and motion technology and the operability of the player character, there are many elements that interest me and that are suited to in-game expression. Especially if there is a way to use [zombies] not just as a convenient enemy for the player to shoot at, but in a way that allows me to express a character in a lyrical way. There are always possibilities."

FEATURED PHOTOS: Oklahoma City Robotics Competition
Sean Kim, Chief Video Editor
On Wednesday, Mar. 6, around 40 CHS students boarded a charter bus headed to Oklahoma City for their first FIRST robotics competition of the year. FIRST club members built a robot over a span of six weeks, and now has the opportunity to drive it to compete in a game against schools across the nation. At Oklahoma City, the Clayton team members (Robohounds) were joined by 60 other schools and made it past qualification rounds, but were ultimately eliminated in quarterfinals. They compete again at the St. Louis regional, and, as of Mar. 15, they are undefeated with a 7-0-0 record and the 5th ranked team out of nearly 50.

Q: Sankey chart in Python I would very much like to make an illustration like the one in the link:
How to add a label to each stratum to display additional information in a rank-change chart using alluvial in R?
I have trouble doing it in Python as it creates multiple linked figures which I do not want. My script is:
import plotly.graph_objects as go
fig = go.Figure(data=[go.Sankey(
    node = dict(
      pad = 15,
      thickness = 20,
      line = dict(color = "black", width = 0.5),
      label = ["A1", "A2", "A3", "A4", "A5", "A1", "A2", "A3", "A4", "A5"],
      color = "blue"
    ),
    link = dict(
      source = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9], # indices correspond to labels, eg A1, A2, A1, B1, ...
      target = [2, 3, 4, 1, 5, 0, 9, 6, 7, 8],
      value = [8, 4, 2, 8, 4, 2,1, 0, 2, 3]
  ))])

fig.update_layout(title_text="Basic Sankey Diagram", font_size=10)
fig.show()

Can someone please help me?

A: Since you are using the Sankey dialog on the official site, I will edit it to show the data structure between the ABs. Simply put, the source is A, the target is B, and the rest is an iteration of that. The additional labels as shown in the link in your question are not available in plotly's sankey dialog as far as I know. You'll have to get creative with the labels. I will add a text based explanation of what I am doing.
import plotly.graph_objects as go

fig = go.Figure(data=[go.Sankey(
    node = dict(
      pad = 15,
      thickness = 20,
      line = dict(color = "black", width = 0.5),
      label = ["A1", "A2", "A3", "A4", "A5", "B1", "B2", "B3", "B4", "B5"],
      color = "blue"
    ),
    link = dict(source = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
                target = [5, 6, 8, 9, 7, 8, 6, 7, 9, 5],
                value =  [8, 4, 3, 2, 6, 3 ,4 ,5, 2, 4]
  ))])

fig.update_layout(title_text="Basic Sankey Diagram", font_size=10)

Credit and sharecropping in agrarian societies
Avishay Braverman, T. N. Srinivasan
A model of linkage between land, labor and credit transactions in the context of sharecropping is considered. It is shown that regardless of the presence or absence of linkage or any other control by the landlord, as long as he can vary the size of the plot given to a tenant and there are enough potential tenants, in equilibrium contracts a tenant's utility under sharecropping will be the same as that which he could have obtained as a full-time wage laborer. This result has the fundamental implication that policies other than land reform will not affect the welfare of tenants. Government subsidization of tenant's credit results only in the subsidization of landlords. Other partial reforms by the government, however, may force the landlord to link credit and tenancy contracts even if the government provides the cheaper source of credits. This, while leaving the tenant's utility unaltered at its pre-reform level, will affect total output and the extent of tenancy.

Thierry Besançon, né le  à Morges, est un musicien, compositeur et chef d'orchestre vaudois.

Biographie
C'est avec son père, le trompettiste et compositeur lausannois André Besançon, que Thierry Besançon commence l'étude de la trompette. Cependant, à l'âge de huit ans, Thierry Besançon abandonne la trompette afin d'entreprendre des études de piano et de percussion au Conservatoire de Lausanne. En 1994, le jeune musicien remporte le titre de "Champion toutes catégories" à la  des solistes vaudois. Il réussit brillamment ses études et obtient le certificat de piano avec la mention "excellent" à l'âge de dix-sept ans. Lorsqu'il intègre le poste de percussionniste supplémentaire à l'Orchestre de la Suisse romande (OSR) ainsi qu'aux Orchestres de chambre de Lausanne (OCL) et Genève (OCG), Thierry Besançon n'a que dix-huit ans. En 1999, il est diplômé pour l'enseignement du piano et de la percussion. Il remporte le titre de « Champion suisse de vibraphone » à Altishofen et réalise une remarquable performance de soliste lors du concert de l'Orchestre symphonique des conservatoires neuchâtelois, avec le Concerto pour batterie de Darius Milhaud. Par la suite, Thierry Besançon obtient une virtuosité avec félicitations en percussion, un diplôme de branches théoriques ainsi qu'un diplôme de direction d'orchestre avec mention au Conservatoire de Lausanne. Il a alors vingt-cinq ans.

Dès lors, la carrière de Thierry Besançon se développe autour de trois axes : la composition de musique de concert, la composition de musique de film et finalement l'engagement dans les orchestres, tant comme chef que comme musicien. Il se passionne pour la composition dès l'âge de seize ans. Il signe un premier conte musical pour grand orchestre et récitant, Mirabelle. Thierry Besançon collabore à de nombreuses reprises avec son ami Örs Kisfaludy, librettiste et récitant hongrois. Parmi les différentes œuvres que Thierry Besançon a composées, il convient de retenir l'oratorio profane Le Prince des Ténèbres, le conte musical Le coq, la mouche et l'autour, l'opéra pour le  de la Landwehr de Fribourg Landwehrland, l'Anterequiem en hommage à Mozart Et Natus Es ainsi que Missa Ludus créée pour célébrer le  du stage Musique-Montagne. Thierry Besançon voue une grande admiration aux compositeurs hollywoodiens tels que John Corigliano, Elliot Goldenthal et Danny Elfman qui seront pour lui une source d'inspiration. Thierry Besançon compose donc aussi pour le cinéma et signe notamment les bandes originales de trois films d'Hugo Veludo, Loups, Coupé Court et In Memoriam. Parallèlement à son activité de composition, l'artiste vaudois est aussi pianiste dans l'orchestre de salon Les Délices de Suzy et percussionniste supplémentaire à l'OCG ainsi qu'à l'OCL. En tant que pianiste et passionné par l'art vocal de la colorature, Thierry Besançon se produit régulièrement en récital avec Sophie Graf. De plus, il est invité à diriger plusieurs formations, tels que l'Ensemble symphonique de Neuchâtel, l'Orchestre symphonique Bande-son, l'Ensemble de cuivres Prima-Volta ainsi que le Sinfonietta de Lausanne. Durant dix ans, il tient le poste de sous-directeur du Centre de percussions de La Côte, pour lequel il réalise de nombreux arrangements.

Thierry Besançon s'établit ensuite à Oppens, un petit village du Gros-de-Vaud. En plus de sa place de percussionniste à l'OCG et à l'OCL, il enseigne la percussion à l'École de musique de Lausanne. Il s'est passionné pour un autre instrument qu'il étudiera au conservatoire de Lausanne, il s'agit du Theremin. Créé en 1919, on le considère comme un des premiers instruments électroniques. Ce sont les gestes produits dans le vide par le musicien qui émettent les sons. La composition reste pour Thierry Besançon une passion, puisqu'en 2008 il écrit la bande originale du film Playmobils réalisé par William Christen, puis, en 2011, celle du film Le lac noir réalisé par Victor Jaquier. Cette même année, Thierry Besançon signe Post Tenebras… Lux, une cantate pour quatre solistes chanteurs et harmonie.

OCT Devices Will Power Clinical Optical Imaging Market to $2 Billion in 2020
Optical coherence tomography, which can detect pathologies in tissues
from arteries to eyes, will retain over 60% market share in a
growing optical imaging market, Lux Research says
BOSTON, MA – December 3, 2014 – Led by optical coherence tomography (OCT) the clinical optical imaging market will rise to $2 billion in 2020, more than doubling from 2012, according to Lux Research.
With a market share of over 60%, OCT is expected to retain its dominant position as it successfully builds on its ophthalmology applications while expanding into cardiology, oncology and gastroenterology. Other technologies such as near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and photoacoustic tomography (PAT) also hold high potential for growth, while applications such as real-time optical biopsies and surgical guidance will grow into multi-billion-dollar segments over the long term.
"The growth of the optical imaging market will be fueled by the OCT segment in the next five years, primarily because it has the clearest path to mass adoption," said Milos Todorovic, Lux Research Analyst and the lead author of the report titled, "Advancing Clinical Imaging Beyond the Existing Standard of Care: Evaluating New Optical Imaging Modalities."
"Over the long term, however, companies developing multimodal systems such as photoacoustics are attractive because they address larger markets," he added.
Lux Research analysts examined 16 technology developers in the optical imaging industry, and evaluated them on the Lux Innovation Grid. Among its findings:
Leaders ready to deliver to market. Mela Sciences, Bioptigen and Infraredx are the leaders in novel clinical optical imaging technologies, rated "Dominant" on the Lux Innovation Grid. Each has achieved FDA and CE clearances, allowing it to market its products in the United States and Europe.
Cost-cutters show potential. Typical OCT systems, the size of a medical cart, cost on average between $80,000 and $250,000. Compact Imaging, rated "High Potential," is working to make these devices more affordable by turning toward solid-state components, instead of discrete optical elements.
Multimodal systems are long-term targets. While investors looking to enter the OCT market can use acquisitions to gain immediate market share, their longer-term focus should be on firms developing multimodal systems such as PAT. These systems combine the most attractive features of constituent technologies – for instance, the penetration depth of ultrasound with resolution of optical systems – and potentially address much larger markets.
The report, titled "Advancing Clinical Imaging Beyond the Existing Standard of Care: Evaluating New Optical Imaging Modalities," is part of the Lux Research BioElectronics Intelligence service.
Led by optical coherence tomography (OCT) the clinical optical imaging market will rise to $2 billion in 2020, more than doubling from 2012.

Hallowed Be Thy Name è un singolo del gruppo musicale britannico Iron Maiden, pubblicato il 4 ottobre 1993 come unico estratto dal terzo album dal vivo A Real Dead One.

Descrizione
Si tratta di una versione dal vivo dell'omonimo brano scritto da Steve Harris per l'album The Number of the Beast del 1982. Il testo parla delle ultime ore vissute da un condannato a morte, immediatamente precedenti all'esecuzione. Inizialmente rassegnato di fronte alla morte, il protagonista si convince di non averne paura, in quanto la vita in fondo è solo un'illusione e potrebbe esserci qualcosa dopo.

Hallowed Be Thy Name è stata inserita in tutte le scalette dei vari tour degli Iron Maiden da The Beast on the Road, del 1982, fino al The Final Frontier World Tour del 2010/11. In seguito i Maiden intrapresero il tour Maiden England 2012 in Nord America, senza includere Hallowed Be Thy Name nella scaletta, rendendo di fatto il Maiden England 2012 il primo tour in cui il brano non è stato suonato.

Promozione
La versione pubblicata come singolo include come b-side il brano The Trooper (originariamente inserito in Piece of Mind) e Wasted Years e Wrathchild che, pur provenendo dalle stesse sessioni di registrazione degli altri brani, non hanno trovato posto nei due album ufficiali e rappresentano quindi la principale attrazione di questo disco.

Tracce
 Hallowed Be Thy Name  (Mosca - Russia, 4 giugno 1993) (Harris) – 7:26
 The Trooper  (Helsinki - Finlandia, 5 giugno 1992) (Harris) – 3:53
 Wasted Years  (Bremen - Germania, 16 aprile 1993) (Smith) – 4:42
 Wrathchild  (Helsinki - Finlandia, 5 giugno 1992) (Harris) – 2:57

RCAF Buildings, Resolute Bay, NT, 14 June 1950.
Until the Soviet Union developed intercontinental ballistic missile capability, air bases in the North (such as this Royal Canadian Air Force [RCAF] base) were an essential part of the North American defence strategy during the Cold War.
It was clear to Canadian military planners as early as 1944 that the only serious potential threat to Canada once Germany and Japan were defeated was the Soviet Union. (10) But even after the revelations of the enormous Soviet spying operation in Canada and the US by the defector Igor Gouzenko began to give substance to that threat in 1946, the implications were not obvious. The thousands of tanks the USSR maintained in eastern Europe were a clear and present danger to the countries Canada had fought to liberate from the Nazis, but the atomic bombs that the United States alone possessed effectively checkmated any number of conventional divisions. The possibility of an invasion of North America was almost as remote as it had been in the 1920s. Aviation technology was developing so rapidly in the late 1940s, however, that bombing attacks over the Arctic would soon be a realistic possibility. Inevitably the Air Force would be at the head of the line for the rapidly shrinking pool of defence dollars.
What role the regiment was training for remained something of a mystery. By 1948, there was a vague plan for using the regular force units (three infantry battalions, two armoured regiments, and one field regiment of artillery) as a Mobile Striking Force to deal with a possible direct attack by Soviet forces in the Canadian north. (13) In August of 1949, the PPCLI, under strength because of cutbacks, used 40 men from the LER for Exercise EAGLE with the RCAF and some American forces to test the concept. (14) The Edmonton soldiers did their part with their usual competence, but the exercise as a whole revealed that the RCAF did not have the capacity to move men and equipment on the scale necessary. On 1 January 1950, Lieutenant-Colonel Alan F. Macdonald took over the leadership of the battalion, the first CO born in Edmonton. He and his successors in the decade of the 1950s would face a time of change and uncertainty.

Just as the Mobile Force concept was fading quietly away in the summer of 1950, war suddenly and unexpectedly broke out in Korea. The United Nations condemned the North Korean attack and asked Canada to contribute to a UN military force led by the United States. The Secretary-General specifically requested ground forces, which was embarrassing. The existing regular army was now committed to supplying troops for NATO in Europe as well as training the reserves and defending North America. The fact was, however, that the Active Force lacked the resources to do any one of those tasks adequately, much less provide a combat force for Korea in addition. The government concluded that the only possible way to meet the commitment was to recruit a new force consisting mainly of Second World War veterans. A Brigade Group of three infantry battalions with supporting arms, a total of 7-8,000 soldiers, would be recruited under the command of Brigadier J.M. Rockingham, a militia officer from British Columbia who had been one of the most successful brigade commanders in the Canadian Army in the Second World War.
Canadian troops performed admirably during the Korean War. Perhaps their greatest moment occurred during the Battle of Kapyong (24-25 April 1951) at which the Canadians managed to hold off the enemy until supplies and reinforcements arrived. Their valiant effort ensured the success of an important U.N. operation.
It therefore came as a shock when in January of 1954 the Department of National Defence released a report recommending the disbandment of many militia regiments and the re-designation of the surviving ones as affiliates of regular force units. It was not much consolation that the LER fell into the second category or that it would be affiliated with the Princess Patricias, whom they had fought alongside in the two great wars of the 20th century. There were letters and protests to Ottawa but to no avail. On 19 October 1954, the regiment became The Loyal Edmonton Regiment (Third Battalion Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry). Perhaps because of the demonstrated strength of support for the unit, the regiment retained its badges and colours and its strong ties with Edmonton and northern Alberta.

Several schools from across the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference came together and joined the Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. Over the last two weeks schools including Fontbonne University, Greenville University, Iowa Wesleyan University, MacMurray College, Spalding University, and Webster University held clothing and food drives on their campuses to send to Houston, Texas and the surrounding communities.
First-year Fontbonne University softball head coach Casey Cromwell had a personal connection to the relief efforts. Cromwell is a graduate of Lamar University, located in Beaumont, Texas; one of the hardest hit areas in Texas. Cromwell, along with Fontbonne SAAC members, collected eight boxes to be delivered directly to Lamar University and its community.
"In my first months as head coach for Fontbonne softball and leading the SAAC group here on campus, I have been overwhelmed with the amount of support this university has for the dear neighbor, said Cromwell. "I am proud of our SAAC representatives for gathering 8 boxes of supplies to help victims of Hurricane Harvey and am thankful for the other SAAC groups in the SLIAC who also sent out supplies on behalf of this supportive conference. A little from everyone makes a HUGE difference."
In addition to collecting boxes of clothes and supplies, MacMurray College also raised over $1,000 to donate to relief efforts.
"The turnout from the MacMurray community was amazing," said MacMurray senior and SAAC leader CJ Pakeltis. "It is comforting to know that when something devastating happens we can all come together to help those in need."
Greenville, Spalding, and Webster collected t-shirts and shoes as part of the effort by the University of Houston Men's Basketball Head Coach Kelvin Sampson. Webster women's basketball head coach Jordan Olufson said, "I think it's a great effort that Coach Sampson has put together and we are proud to be able to help out the community of Houston in its troubled time."
Travis Gile, SLIAC SAAC President, said Iowa Wesleyan was able to partner with Mount Plesant High School and collect items to send to Texas.
"I think it is inspiring to see the conference do what it can to help those that are going through such tragedy and loss, said Gile. "At Iowa Wesleyan, in conjunction with Mt. Pleasant High School, 600 lbs of new or gently used shoes were sent along and answered the call from Kelvin Sampson from the University of Houston."


BLOOMINGTON, Ind.– Tuesday's rivalry battle between Indiana and Purdue features two teams with seasons that have gone in polar opposite directions. While the 15th-ranked Boilermakers seem to be hitting their stride, winning nine of their last 10, IU is limping into Assembly Hall. The Hoosiers have just one victory in their last 11 games, an overtime win over then 6th-ranked Michigan State. However, when it comes to in-state bragging rights, toss out the standings.
"Records don't matter for a rivalry like this," Purdue sophomore center Matt Haarms said.
IU (13-12) has lost their last four at Assembly Hall, uncharacteristic for the notoriously hostile Hoosiers home court.
"Their win at Michigan State was big time, we watched the game and obviously they can pull out victories like that against good teams so we just have to be ready," Purdue senior guard Ryan Cline said.
Purdue (18-7), just a half game back of Michigan and Michigan State in the Big Ten chase, recovered from a sluggish start to the season to get into conference title contention. However the Boilers don't think they've yet to assemble their most complete effort on the court this season.
The Boilers aim for a season sweep of Indiana on Tuesday night, having defeated the Hoosiers 70-55 at Mackey Arena last month. They know that taking the crowd out of it early will be key, not just in terms of noise, but also in terms of prompting an early exit for the opposing fan base.
"There's no better feeling than walking out of an area with a minute or two left and you see those fans going back to their cars and ready to go home," Cline said with a laugh.
Tip off is set for 7 p.m. on Tuesday night at Assembly Hall. Each team will have just five games remaining in the regular season after Tuesday's rivalry match-up.

Flight Over the Shifting Inlets of Hutchinson Island 1515-1900, St Lucie River/Indian River Lagoon
From bottom to top: Atlantic Ocean, Hutchinson Island, Indian River Lagoon, Sewall's Point, St Lucie River, Stuart…1947. One notes here Hutchinson Island– so thin… (Fairchild aerial survey ca. 1940s-photo courtesy of Sandra H. Thurlow)
Look closely–My mother's business card shows an historic map of the mid 1800s with an Inlet across from Sewall's Point at today's A1A and SP Road. This area is not an inlet today as it was in the 1800s. (Sandra H. Thurlow)
Inlets, the shifting sands of time on our barrier islands. Fascinating, and a reminder of the power of Nature and the limited control of human endeavors….
Recently I looked closely at my mother's business card and asked "Why is the St Lucie Inlet so far north?" Looking closely one can see it once was located midway across from South Sewall's Point. "It looks like it was there, because at that time, it was," she replied.
Such is the matter-a-factness of coastal change…
Today, I am going to feature one of my brother Todd's amazing flight videos incorporating historic maps and today's Google images to show the changing sands of time, our barrier islands, in a way you may never have seen before. Todd has a talent for this rare communication format and he will be teaching us more before the end of the year!
This is his write up"
This video is a time capsule review of the inlet of Hutchinson island that appeared on maps between 1515 and 1900. It is a rough draft of a larger project that I wasn't going to post yet. I planned to drop the music and break it down into 5 shorter videos which were kind of the chapters of the long one: 1. 1515 to 1871 Freducci, Jeffreys and Romans 2. St. Lucie Sound 1763 to 1834 – 5 maps 3. Gilbert's Bar 1850 to 1861 – 4 survey maps 4. Hurricanes and The Gap 1871 to 1882 – hurricane tracks and 2 maps 5. Digging the St. Lucie Inlet 1887 to 1900 – 2 maps I believe there was an inlet, referred to on the old maps as "The Gap", that reappeared in the mid 1800s. It was in the general area of today's Florida Oceanographic Society and probably opened and closed many times like the other inlets. Coincidentally the area was struck by back-to-back Cat 2 and Cat 3 hurricanes around that time (sound familiar?). "The Gap" will be the topic of another project the I would like to post some day on Jonathan Dickinson because I believe that it could be described in his journal. I will update this summary later… Todd Thurlow

"The Most Logical Route for the C-44 Canal," Port Salerno… St Lucie River/Indian River Lagoon

Port Salerno canal advertisement in booklet with photo. (Thurlow archives)
The saga continues!
In yesterday's blog, I quoted a Department of Environmental Protection document stating that the St Lucie Canal, now known as "C-44," was originally proposed in the early 1900s to connect Lake Okeechobee to the Manatee Pocket in Port Salerno, rather than the South Fork of the St Lucie River…
So after reading my blog, my mother sends me this awesome historic real estate ad above. Can you believe it? I had heard the tales of "urban legend" for years, but now there is a visual of this historical record!
She wrote: "This was the centerfold for a booklet "Little Journeys to Salerno and the Famous St. Lucie Inlet Farms, 1914."
Centerfold?
I just blows my mind that those old timers were trying to turn Stuart into Miami. If the 1926 depression had not hit, they just may have been successful…
In any case there was a fight for the now dreaded C-44 canal between Stuart and Port Salerno. Stuart "won" to lose…
The historic ad above reads:
"The bird's-eye view printed here shows the position of the tract as to transportation–the magnificent and picturesque water of the St Lucie River—the Indian River—the St Lucie Inlet where the United States Government has appropriated one-hundred thousand dollars toward the construction of a deep water harbor–the Atlantic Ocean–the automobile thoroughfare, which connects Jacksonville to Miami–and the location of the town of Port Salerno which is clearly destined to become the commercial city and the great shipping point for the products of the winter gardens of the Everglades—the most logical route for the proposed state ship and drainage canal, which is to empty into the St Lucie Inlet and will deliver most of the products from the vast Everglades, for distribution and shipment, at tis point the proposed shore road and bridge connecting the mainland with Sewall's Point and many other features which go to prove the enviable location of Port Salerno and the St Lucie lnlet Farms."
Thanks mom, for another amazing piece of history!

Today's short video focuses on our beloved South Fork area of the St Lucie River. This video visually juxtaposes 1940s U.S. Government maps to Google Earth images of today. The video begins over an undeveloped Horseshoe Point, Sewall's Point, and St Lucie River proper and then travels in a southern direction to the wide fork of the St Lucie River and deep along its wild, winding, and African-looking curves. One sees the old Palm City and new Veteran's Memorial bridges come and go, and notices the build up over time of sand in the fork (maybe some from dredging and some from sediment build-up from Lake Okeechobee releases.) This serpentine and beautiful section of the South Fork is southerly of Highway 76 that runs out to Lake Okeechobee alone the C-44 canal. Today's I-95 exchange is also visible.

And the little ponds! My favorite! Just everywhere!This is most incredible to me as today they are "gone." These hundreds, if not thousands of little ponds, once slowly increased and decreased in depth and size based on rainfall, overflowing at times, into the winding South Fork. One can still see the lush vegetation surrounding some of these areas. Can you imaging the wildlife that used to be in our area? I so would have loved to have seen it but this trip is better than nothing!
As the flight continues, "today's" development is neatly stacked right up to the winding edge of the fork on the south side in particular…makes me think of septic tanks???
I have to say it nice that there is some land around the areas of the fork and I am sure local environmentalist have fought to keep this over the years. Nonetheless, if we had it to do over again, I think we would decide to leave a much wider birth around these important watersheds.
In the final minutes of the video we travel over the dreaded C-44 canal built in the 1920s, known in its early years as the "St Lucie Canal." This canal of course, connects Lake Okeechobee to a section of a second prong (fork) in the winding South Fork. The canal itself is wider and apparently the "connection is just "above" today's Four Rivers which lies beyond the I-95 bridge and exchange and All American Marina.
Zooming in and out in time and place, one can see the cleared lands around St Lucie Locks and Dam and white sand piled high from dredging on the north side of the canal….The picture fades in and out as we view the old locks structure compared to its "new and improved" version today….
I just love this stuff. It makes it all so easy to "see."
The environmental destruction that is…I guess for others it is the sight of money and making a swamp "useful." How ever you view it, the journey is an education.
Thank you to Todd for opening my eyes and for allowing me to travel in time and "place."

Port St Lucie was a Swamp? Really? St Lucie River/Indian River Lagoon

The first map in the video is a 1823 U.S. Army Map showing "Al-pa-ti-o-kee Swamp," as it was known. The second is a 1846 map by Bruff. We then fly in to view Green Ridge, and the ridge just east of Indiantown. Next, we then overlay the 1983 Topo maps to view Green Ridge again, fly up, and around, Ten-mile Creek, and then back down the North Fork of the St. Lucie River. —-Todd Thurlow
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2f-e0ul1mY&feature=youtu.be)
Not only was the city of Port St Lucie a swamp, but western Martin County was too. Please view the above video and "see" for yourself! It must have been a fabulous place, now long gone, know as "Alpatiokee," or "Halpatiokee Swamp."
Meaning "alligator waters" by the Seminoles, these lands/waterways were traversed for centuries in hand-made canoes. The native people and the Seminoles traveled many miles through the St Lucie River/Indian River Lagoon, and during rainy season they could travel all the way up into the St Johns River. How? Because these lands, when flooded, were "connected." Now they are not only no longer connected but water that flowed north into the St John's flows south into the St Lucie River….
Back to Port St Lucie…..
Recently, I kept noticing that the 1856 "Everglades" Military Map I like so much showed an expansive swamp close to where Port St Lucie and western Martin County are located today.
"This is weird," I thought. "What happened to the old swamp?"
So, I contacted my brother, Todd, who loves maps and can combine them together with technology. (See link/video above.)
Below you'll find an edited version of Todd's notes to me.
I find all of this absolutely fascinating, and sometimes a bit unsettling….The natural ridges in the land we seem to ignore; how we blew canals through them; how the water USED to flow; how humans have developed and built agricultural empires, and changed everything….Maybe one day with visual tools like these, future land planners, and water district employees can change back some of our landscape to it's former glory, and maybe even return a few gators to the landscape, since it's named after them.
That would be nice, something more to look at while driving the Turnpike than "concrete." 🙂
Halpatiokee or Alpatiokee translates as "alligator water" in the Seminole language. (Public photo.)
TODD'S NOTES REGARDING VIDEO:
THE OLD MAPS: The old maps are not necessarily accurate, but they give an idea… They show basically what was known as the "Hal-pa-ti-o-kee Swamp." On some other maps it is labeled the "Al-pa-ti-o-kee Swamp." On almost all old maps, it would cover the area that is labeled Allapattah Flats on the modern topographical maps — but Hal-pa-ti-o-kee was probably more to the east.
Google Earth image 2015, Todd Thurlow.
TOPOGRAPHY AND RIDGES: There are two distinct ridges in western Martin County. Green Ridge is about 4.6 miles west of the turnpike, (12.5 miles west of the ocean), and can be seen on aerials. The western edge of Allapattah flats is a ridge where the elevation goes quickly from about 30 fee to 40 feet. This ridge (an obvious ancient ocean shoreline) can be seen running all the way to Cape Canaveral parallel to the coast. This ridge is about 12.5 miles west of the turnpike (20 miles from the ocean). Indiantown sits on the high side of the ridge. This Hal-pa-ti-o-kee Swamp on those old maps would be the we area east of the Indiantown ridge – so it is basically all of western Martin and St. Lucie County.
FORMER WATER FLOW: Probably everything east of the Green Ridge flowed east into the St. Lucie. Everything between the two ridges flowed north to the St. Johns watershed and everything West of the Indiantown ridge (not much) flowed west into Lake Okeechobee via the little creeks on the east bank of the
….Somewhere between the St. Johns and the St. Lucie so everything between the two ridges, but north of that point, went north to the St. Johns River. Everything south would have gotten picked up by Ten-mile creek in the extreme North Fork of the St. Lucie River, which actually flowed north-east before turning back south to the St. Lucie.
CONCLUSION: There are academics that would know this stuff for sure and all the proper names. These ridges are like little continental divides, separating water flows into separate directions like the Rocky Mountains. When they busted all these canals through the ridges they changed the direction of all the water flows from mostly north/south to east/west. But that was the goal — get it to sea level as quickly as possible and drain the swamps…

Martin County's Hundreds of Ponds, "Down the Drain," St Lucie River/Indian River Lagoon

Stuart, Sewall's Point, Hutchinson Island and Jensen are easily recognized by air along the St Lucie River/Indian River Lagoon. Many small ponds can be seen darkly colored.

From the time I was a baby until growing up, I remember lots of ponds here in the region of the St Lucie River/Indian River Lagoon. Hundreds of ponds intertwined with scrub lands…
Some of these boggy ponds were right outside my neighborhood in St Lucie Estates, just off of East Ocean Boulevard. It was the 1960s and 70s. Over time, especially in the 80s and 90s, when I had grown up and was off to University of Florida and beyond, these ponds simply dried up and "disappeared." These lands became shopping centers, an expanded Witham Field, gas stations, schools, golf courses, and more neighborhoods. The same thing happened to the lands out west of town, but they became expanded agricultural lands. At a kid, I didn't think too much about it. Today it blows my mind.
The aerial at the top of this blog post is from 1940. I was born in 1964. The small dark areas are ponds. When I asked my brother Todd, who is very knowledgeable on these old photos and land use, where all the ponds went, he noted that when our area canals were constructed by the water districts and Army Corp of Engineers, from about 1920 to the 1960s, the canals not only drained the lands, but over time, the water table dropped, (the water below the surface of the soil that you don't see) drying out the many of little ponds, so that these lands could be developed.
Canals in Martin and St Lucie counties, C-23, C-24, C-25 were constructed in the 50s and 60s. C-44 is connected to Lake Okeechobee but also drains the agricultural lands around it. It was constructed in the 1920s.
So most of the 1940 wetlands you see in the aerials throughout this blog are now gone, and "we are here." This happened all over Martin, St Lucie and almost all counties of south Florida. This on top of the shrinkage and drainage of giant Lake Okeechobee!
There is something is really odd about this. Millions of people living in former wetlands. Like sitting atop a dry sponge. No wonder all the wildlife is gone and the rivers are polluted. I've heard people talk about this change forever, and I have lived it myself, but seeing my brother's video below, really bring the whole thing "home." Watch and wonder where we should go from here…

The flight starts in the area around Pratt & Whitney in northern Palm Beach County / southern Martin County where the land still looks like much of Martin County used to look. We then fly to the area around Bridge Road where the headwaters of the South Fork used to be nice and wet in the 1940s. Hundreds of interconnected ponds and bogs eventually coalesced into the tributaries of the South Fork. Today the ponds have been drained for farming and a few neighborhoods. The smallest tributaries are now drainage ditches. Next we fly over the area around the City of Stuart and Witham Field. You can see how the old ponds and bogs lined up between low ridges that run parallel to the ocean. Many of the bogs are now low-lying dry nature preserves in the neighborhoods and golf courses. –Todd Thurlow

Four Inlets South of the St Lucie Inlet? And How Much Sand Has Washed Away… Really? SLR/IRL
Comparison of 1947 USGS map/and Google Earth aerial 2014–Shows natural inlet break 1.1 miles south of St Lucie Inlet in 1947 and how much Jupiter Island has migrated towards the coast since then.
"The only thing that is constant is change…" Heraclitus
In a world that is constantly in flux, it is natural to try to make things permanent. Nonetheless, this is to no avail. Nowhere is this as strikingly apparent as our barrier islands off the U.S. Atlantic coastline, right here at home, along our beautiful Indian River Lagoon.
As you know, over thousands of years, storms, winds and tides, along with other forces, have caused the openings of natural inlets along the Indian River Lagoon. Since the late 1800s, humankind, with the help of the Army Corp of Engineers, has "determined" where "permanent" inlets should be located, and filled in those otherwise forming…
My brother, Todd Thurlow, (http://thurlowpa.com) has finalized his Time Capsule Flight video of "The Inlets of Peck's Lake and the Jupiter Narrows," that I first shared with you in "trial version" last week. His result is even more remarkable.
Through the overlay of Google Earth, historic aerial photographs, NOAA, and USGS maps, his work provides a look back in history to see that our coastline south of today's St Lucie Inlet has broken through at least four times to form four natural inlets since 1947.
They are: 1947 (1.1 mile south); 1952 (0.5 miles south); 1958 (1.1 south again or another in close proximity; and 1962 at Peck's Lake during the famous Ash Wed storm.
Watch Todd's awesome video here: "The Inlets at Peck's Lake and Jupiter Narrows:" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yO650JyADwQ
I find these "visions" absolutely beautiful.
At one point, I tried to pin Todd down about the number of barrier island breakthroughs. This was his reply:
"Jacqui – at least four breaks sounds right, but I am sure there have been an infinite number of breaks over the centuries – Joes point, Herman Bay, the Cove at IRP, Big and Little Mud creeks… "
I also tried to get an answer out of him that I have been wondering about for years: "How much shoreline along Jupiter Island near Peck's Lake has "disappeared?" Todd was quick to say that it is "not that easy" and that this area has probably been coming and going for a long, long time…
Nonetheless, it is cool to think about. Here is his map. According to Todd, the red polygon in the attached image measures 445 Acres – approximately the amount of land that disappeared between Peck's Lake and the Inlet since the 1887 NOAA chart. The yellow line measures 1770 feet – a third of a mile.
Yikes! 🙂

I am excited that Todd is sharing his "evolved" Thurlow map talents, and I am looking forward to a 2015 where he is a regular guest on my blog, taking us all to a high and fluid perspective where we can see change along the St Lucie River/Indian River Lagoon in a way never before.
Happy Flying!

Spoil Island History, Martin County, A Time Capsule Flight–Indian River Lagoon
Spoil island history, MC, FL (A time-capsule "flight" by Todd Thurlow.)
For today's post, I am partnering up with my younger brother, attorney, Todd Thurlow. Todd, as all members of my family, is intrigued by history and maps. As he is a technology buff as well, he has learned to use Google Earth Pro (in this case a trial version) to superimpose old maps over today's Google Earth aerials. The effect is amazing in that one can literally "see" the changes over time in land, shoreline, and in today's case, IRL spoil islands. The islands that one sees in the IRL are not natural, they are dredge fill from the creation of a channel with its government beginnings in 1881. This includes some islands that are now exclusive neighborhoods, such as Island Edition and Archipelago, in Sewall's Point. Fortunately, the birds got one too–"Bird Island" now a Critical Wildlife Area, (CWA) or MC2. MC2 is located just north, off the Archipelago.
Today our channels are managed by FIND, the Florida Inland Navigation District.
I will provide a summary TIME LINE of Todd's notes below; nonetheless, be sure to watch the video in the link below, so you can "see!" It is amazing: you will feel like you are taking a time-capsule flight right over our beautiful and ever-changing Indian River Lagoon:
Link to IRL/SPOIL ISLAND TIME CAPSULE FLIGHT 1887-1970, by Todd Thurlow: (http://youtu.be/sODqzQ8EW9o)
Question: "When Did Spoil Islands "appear" in the Martin County Area of the Indian River Lagoon?"
1881: Florida Coastline Canal and Transportation Company was formed
1887: Aerial shows no spoil islands in IRL
1890: Dredging complete from Haulover Cut in Merritt Island to Jupiter
1892: Locals dig St Lucie Inlet by hand
1920: No spoil islands east of Sewall's Point. US ACOE recommends dredging 8 feet deep and 75 foot wide from Jacksonville to Miami
1930: ACOE increases recommended width to 100 feet from 75
1935: Work complete-8 feet deep and 100 feet wide channel
1940: USDA map aerial shows spoil islands deposits on east side of Sewall's Point (these became Island Edition and the Archipelago developments among other things…)
1945: Congress authorizes ACOE to dredge 12 foot deep 125 foot wide channel
1952: USDA map showing spoil islands DIRECTLY EAST of Sewall's Point
1958: USDA aerial shows "break through/wash through" at today's Bathtub Beach
1958: USDA aerial still shows no spoil islands on EAST SIDE of channel near Sewall's Point (these are new islands, not the ones already deposited off of the near east side of SP)
1958: NOAA chart shows Seminole Shore's, (today's Sailfish Point) marina is undeveloped
1960: Due to ACOE determination, IRL portion between Ft Pierce to Miami is dredged to 10 feet rather than the 12 feet wanted in 1945
1963: NOAA chart shows new channel but no new islands still on the EAST SIDE of the channel off of Sewall's Point
1965: ACOE work complete– based on 1945 and 1960 determinations
1970: Aerial finally does show spoil islands on EAST SIDE of channel off of Sewall's Point from dredging/channel projects
1970: Aerial reveals, if one looks closely, that the smallest of the spoil islands to the EAST of the channel off of Sewall's Point has since disappeared….
Todd Thurlow has given presentations at Stuart Heritage and Florida Oceanographic (http://thurlowpa.com) Call him if your club would like a presentation. Todd and I will be doing more work together in the future!
*I must also credit my dear river activist friend, Ezra Appel, who recently got me interested in spoil islands all over again. Ezra got involved two years ago with the Indian River Lagoon Aquatic Preserves (IRLAP), when his company adopted a spoil island in Vero Beach. Now he is involved with a newly formed group "Friends of the Spoil Islands, Inc, " a 501 (c) non-profit, Community Service Organization working in partnership with the DEP and IRLAP. Ezra sits on the board as the Treasurer. They have a Facebook page: (https://www.facebook.com/spoilislands) Check it out! Ezra also shares with me aerial photos from INDIAN RIVER BY AIR; they have some great shots of the spoil islands in their neck of the woods: (http://www.indianriverbyair.com/tagged/spoil%20island)

Sonic Unleashed är ett datorspel till Wii, Xbox 360, Playstation 2 och 3, först utgivet i november-december 2008.

Spelet börjar med att Sonics hamnar i en fälla gillrad av dr. Eggman på Eggmans rymdskepp. Eggmans mål är att bygga Eggmanland och ta över världen. Eggman använder en maskin för att ta kraften från Sonic och the chaos emerald (kaos-smaragderna). Eggman använder denna kraft för att skjuta ner mot planeten med en enorm laserstråle, därigenom väcker han monstret Dark Gaia, som vill få världen att gå under. Detta leder också till att världen delas upp i bitar. Därtill förvandlas Sonic till en "werehog" (varulvsigelkott). Till sist sänds Sonic bort från rymdskeppet, men han överlever fallet mot marken.

Spelet går ut på att Sonic ska utforska kontinenterna och besegra dr. Eggman och Dark Gaia. Om man ska rädda världen så måste man gå igenom kontinenternas tempel och återställa smaragderna som i sin tur återställer kontinenten med hjälp av den lilla varelsen Chip. På dagtid är Sonic sitt vanliga jag, men på natten blir han till en werehog.

Though you may have tried to convince yourself it was, hookah isn't harmless. In fact, according to Mayo Clinic experts, this "social" form of smoking can actually be equivalent to smoking 10-40 cigarettes!! They say it's due to the typical duration of a hookah session. Learn more here.

It is the elder of the brothers (played by real-life siblings Koki and Oshiro Maeda), the conservative twelve-year-old Koichi, whose yearning to see his family reunited spurs their adventure. The younger brother, Ryunosuke, a live-wire but also more of a pragmatist, recognizes that this would not be for the best. Though he is less mature in almost every other respect, he is wiser than Koichi about his parents' marriage. We're shown Ryunosuke's memory of their parents shouting over the dining table and Koichi caught up in it all, while completely unnoticed, Ryi has slipped away with his bowl to eat elsewhere. As far as Ryi is concerned, Koichi has a rose-colored view of their family life together, and Ryi has no desire to return to what he remembers. But both boys hope to meet up, and their plan attracts followers.
I Wish is a charming and rather slow-burning tale about childhood dreams, and it succeeds at capturing the moment when youthful innocence dissolves. The focus on the preteen years has a touching accuracy: the children's heads remain full of fantasy and wonder even as they are beginning to understand life's reality.
Throughout I Wish, we see adults come alive to new experiences. Age, we come to realize, need not quell new beginnings and new joys, even as adult responsibilities bring limitations and the years bring disappointments. In one lovely sequence, in a small town near the track point, the sweet, pretty Megumi arrives on the doorstep of an elderly couple, pretending she is their granddaughter who lives far away. They know full well she's lying, but they nevertheless invite her and her young friends to stay the night. As the children set off the following morning, one of the girls runs back to ask if the couple wants anything wished for themselves. They can only respond: "We couldn't have asked for anything better than yesterday." Their act of hospitality was repaid by the vitality and color the young strangers brought into their home.
Open-hearted artists understand that something not working out as planned does not mean the exercise was futile. Serendipity is part of the creative process. When Koichi's grandfather, a retired cake maker, tries a new recipe, the result has neither the color nor flavor he expected. At first Koichi is disappointed, but over time he will come to appreciate such subtle surprises—a hint of a newfound maturity that began to emerge at the track point.
As the trains pass, the children scream their wishes through the security fence, expressing different stages of childhood. Some are mundane ("I want to run faster!"); others speak of confusion and heartache ("Make Dad quit gambling!")—and we cannot be sure any of them truly believe their wishes will come true. In the communal shouting, each child has expressed his most personal desires. They are prayers of a sort, cries in the dark, dreams, wishes, hopes—or moments of acceptance.
As with Kore-eda's earlier acclaimed After Life (1998), in which recently departed people get to choose one memory from their lives to carry for eternity, we are shown the value of certain tiny moments. These children will always recall their wish by the side of the railway, and the journey to that experience and what unexpectedly emerged at that moment prove vital steps towards maturity. The world of dreams, desires, and wishes is shown to be an integral part of life's journey.

Q: Using Ruby to get list of installed android packages from android device I am using ruby to install/uninstall apps from a device and now ran into the problem of retrieving an array of installed packages from that device. This is my def:
def get_installed_packages(device)
  @temp = []
  alert "Gets list of installed apps on the follwing device #{device}"
  @temp << `adb -s #{device} shell "pm list packages -f"`

  alert @temp.join(', ')
end

This returns a big nothing, I can see the android console running and showing the packages but not populating my @temp. So, this is not the right way.
Is it possible to get the list of the installed apps from a ruby script?
Thanks.
