Wellness Week kicks off
By Dean Hetherington
Protect yourself! That is what the Health Outreach Team and the Students' Union wants students to remember during Wellness Week. On Valentine's Day, booths, demonstrations and interactive games were set up to inform students about the importance of personal health.
"I think that this is important," said SU Vice-president Events Jared Lorenz. "It's your body and your body is a pretty important part of you. It all comes down to if your body fails, then your brain isn't going to work very well."
AIDS Calgary kicked off events by celebrating National Condom Day (yes, it's the same day as Valentine's). Free condoms and condom application demonstrations were given to interested students.
"We have about 20 booths today and we're going to have about 40 by Wednesday," said HOT Coordinator Danielle Soulliere. "I'm hoping that they [the students] take away some information with them. A lot of people don't know that we're on campus or what is even covered in their health benefits."
As part of the activities, HOT and the SU sponsored a play by the Schizophrenia Society and a free Dr. Drink session.
"The Dr. Drink event is new," said Lorenz. "The doctors from Health Services are going to be mixing non-alcoholic drinks. This interactive stuff seems to go over really well."
Some of the other new events included alternative medicine and massage therapy.
"I think that we have tried to cover as much as we can," said Soulliere. "From last year we have a little more alternative health. We have them now, as it is getting more popular."
Due to the amount of activities both the HOT and the SU felt that there was a lot of stress in getting all the sponsors ready.
"It's just getting back to these people," said Soulliere. "It was about three faxes and about one phone call for each organization."
The organizations themselves felt Wellness Week had a lot of potential.
"It shows that the university is looking out for students," said Campus Security Officer Chris Jenson.
"I think overall they're getting educated," added AIDS Calgary volunteer Laurie Fownes.
Student reaction was mixed.
"I'm pretty apathetic to the whole thing," said first-year engineering student Greg Clarke.
"I know absolutely nothing about it," added second-year pre-Management student Jarrod Fuhr. "But it's probably a good thing."
HOT did acknowledge that student apathy was an obstacle.
"Getting people to the booths is not that easy," said Soulliere. "It is hard enough to get someone to come to the booths let alone actually get involved. It's hard to advertise without spending too much money or wasting too much time."
To counter student apathy, HOT maintains that many of the booths offer information about student related issues.
"I think this is really important to students," said Souliere. "Things like stress management and counseling are very concerned with personal health."
Wellness Week runs until Fri., Feb. 18 with various events in MacEwan Student Centre between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

The Philadelphia Experiment – movie review – 1984 Blog-a-thon
Posted on August 31, 2014 by Parlor of Horror
This review is part of Forgotten Films Blog, 1984 Blog-A-Thon which is covering just about every film released in 1984. When deciding to participate, I looked over the list and chose to review, The Philadelphia Experiment. I hadn't seen the movie in many years, but I remember liking it. This would give me the perfect opportunity to revisit this film.
The Philadelphia Experiment (1984)
Directed by Stewart Raffill
produced by John Carpenter
Bobby Di Cicco
Nancy Allen
This sci-fi film concerns an urban legend about the US Navy experimenting with a cloaking device in 1943, and the mishap that arises from the ill-fated experiment. When the naval vessel, The USS Eldridge, goes completely invisible it actually travels in time. When it returned several minutes later, it is said that some of the crew members were fused into the bulkhead and deck of the ship itself. Some crew members came back inside-out and others experienced long term mental problems. It is also said, with a flash of light, the Eldridge was sighted in Northport Virginia, over 200 miles away from Philadelphia for those few minutes.
In the film, we follow two sailors, Dave and Jim, crew members on the Eldridge at the time of the experiment. They travel with the ship from 1943 and jump off in 1984, in a Nevada desert. They discover that the experiment was being revisited in 1984 and the new experiment interacted with the original creating a vortex or wormhole between the two time periods.
The sailors are immediately being chased by the modern military. They hide out in a dinner where they meet Allison (Dave's love interest for the film). Not able to drive a modern car, they get Allison to drive and flee the scene with them. The military attempts to end the experiment but the vortex keeps getting bigger, threatening to suck towns and whole cities into the space hole. Eventually, the military needs David's help in closing the vortex and he is sent into the maelstrom where he will shut down the generator on the Eldridge, therefore severing the link.
I must say, I liked this film better when I first saw it in the 1984 than I like it now. The problem is that this film is book ended with two interesting and gratifying sequences, but the middle is bogged down with the budding romance of Dave and Allison. Some of the dialogue is hokey, but to be expected from a film that is 30 years old. There are a few time warp discoveries for the two men and Allison, but they are nothing mind blowing for a film about time travel. Considering this was released the same year as Terminator, I think they could have infused something more paradox.
I do like that Nancy Allen's character is named Allison Hayes, an homage to Attack of the 50 Foot Woman. The TV in the diner is showing Humanoids From the Deep which I reviewed just a few weeks ago. The TV in the Motel room plays part of Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. We also see an Ad for a very early computer. The effects in the film are dated, even for 1984, but convey the story well enough. The biggest aspect in time travel discovery is the actual film itself. As the men from 1943 look strangely at Pay Telephones, Cars with Chrome Bumpers, and free-standing Arcade Games, I am reminded that my children would probably look at these items the same way today as our movie characters do in 1984.
Some of my disappointment with the film is that my memories got this mixed up with another film about the same subject matter, released around the same time called, The Final Countdown. TFC had better special-fx and because of that, I was waiting for scenes in The Philadelphia Experiment that never came.
All in all, it's not a bad movie, perhaps just a little light on the sci-fi aspect for such a serious film subject.
I give it 3.3 wormholes out of 5 for vanishing vessels and valiant heroics.

My Top 10 Horror-Comedies of All Time
Posted on August 3, 2012 by Parlor of Horror
My Top 10 Horror-Comedies of All Time:
I think the best of this genre captures the scares and chills of a top notch horror film and the true comedic elements that can make us laugh out loud. It was not easy to whittle this list down to ten. I also took into consideration, solid storyline and plot.
What more can be said about this horror comedy classic? Early in the film the zombies are taking over but nobody seems to notice that their actions are any different from the rest of the populous. Throwing old records at the girl Zombie, taking a cell call at the most desperate of moments, pulling the shade down when you notice hundreds of zombies outside the window (that'll help), and wanting to spend time at the pub until this whole apocalypse thing blows over; there is too much funny stuff in this film to mention. But it also has a terrific story and plot.
Black Sheep (2007)
There is something that I find hysterical about hundreds of sheep appearing over the hilltop, bah bah–ing away, then viciously attacking a bunch of dinner guests at an outdoor party. And, wait until you find out where these mutated sheep are coming from. This film is really crazy, funny, gory, and action packed. I'll never look at a sheep the same way. No more counting sheep when I can't sleep… they bite.
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)
This is the only film that puts all three Universal top monsters in the same film, at the same time. Lon Chaney Jr. and Bella Lugosi reprise roles as The Wolfman and Dracula. Glenn Strange retains the classic look as the Frankenstein Monster and delivers a convincing role. This film has all the elements of the monster's individual films plus the hyjinx and pratfalls of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. Highlights include, the sliding candle, Frankenstein seeing Costello for the first time and getting frightened, a raging battle between Dracula and the Wolfman, and the "Untie the boat!" sequence.
Return of the Living Dead (1985)
The split dog and the medical cadaver zombie, the zombie talking into the cop-car radio, saying, "send back-ups!", the kid whining about how much it hurts to die, and the frantic antics of James Karen, and Thom Mathews as Frank and Freddy, make this film one of my top horror-comedies. Plus, there are some great memorable Zombies: the chrome dome zombie and the half lady strapped to the table, for instance. And, don't forget we have a punk'd out Linnea Quigley running around half naked thru the whole movie (or is it: running around totally naked, thru half the movie?). This film was hysterical when it came out and I still enjoy watching it to this day.
Fright Night (1985)
Teenager, Charley Brewster, thinks his next door neighbor is the undead but no one will believe him. He calls on Peter Vincent, a popular vampire killer in movies. Only to set the kid's mind at ease, Vincent agrees to visit the Dandridge home but accidentally discovers, the guy is an actual vampire. Meanwhile, Charley's bud, Ed, turns onto a wolf, his girlfreind sprouts fangs and has a mouth about two miles wide, and its up to him and Vincent to save the day. Dandridge turns into a giant bat at dawn, his cohort melts on the stairs, and Ed's evil laugh stays with you long after the movie is over. Sure it's a bit corny, but it's a fun film and has some great old school FX.
Army of Darkness (1992)
While I would consider Evil Dead I & II horror movies with a few genius splashes of comedy (the eyeball in the mouth comes to mind), Army of Darkness was a full tilt horror-comedy. The 10-minute battle with the demon-witch in the pit, the choosing of the Necronimicon (stretch-face), and the evil Ashe battles are comedy gold. The three stooges-like, slap-stick antics with the mini Ashe creatures… I could not stop laughing!
Dead Alive (1992)
Just the idea of mother and the reverse birth, it's so disgusting you have to laugh. But that's not all folks, 'cause this film's got; the martial arts expert priest (heads and limbs flying off with each karate chop), a lawnmower strapped to our hero's chest (Why you ask? To clear a path through the zombies, of course), Mom's disgusting table manners (enjoy the soup), a gnarly looking rat, and the little fester baby… Everything in this film is taken to the extreme in comedy-gore. So gross, so funny.
Feast (2005)
Dismissed early-on by horror fans because it was part of Project GreenLight, (funded by Damon and Affleck) – If you never watched this film because of that or any other reason, you are missing one great horror-comedy. The film is funny, with plenty of hard hitting action, violence, original monsters and a strong R rating! Another lazy night in a Texas bar on the outskirts of Anytown, USA, turns into a war between humans and monsters as a horde of creatures move in from the desert looking for some eats (humans) and to procreate, (like the usual barfly's). Most of the bar goers are just mangled and eaten by these creatures and one woman is even raped by one. A distraught barmaid tries to protect her young son as the night spins out of control. Casting Henry Rollins as the level-headed, motivational speaker was classic! Did I mention tons of gore?
Ghostbusters (1984)
I'm usually not a big fan of the big blockbuster, big label movies – films have to have a bit of quirkiness for me to really like them. However, there is no denying that Ghostbusters got everything right and made a fantastic horror-comedy. Forget 'Slimer', that is the fluff part of the film. There are some really excellent ghosts and entities to be found in Ghostbusters along with the hysterical antics of Bill Murray and Dan Akroyd. The Librarian ghost is classic – and we all remember the plan, "Get her!" We have Zuul, Gozer the Gozerian, the key master and the gatekeeper and the other world portal on the 80th floor of a NY skyscraper. Then, to top it off, something so ridiculous, whoever thought of it is nothing less than genius. That's right; I'm talking about the giant Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man.
The excitement of Roger, played by William Katt, trying to capture a picture of the entities emanating from his closet after midnight is quite humorous. Then he tries to get his straight-laced neighbor, played by George Wendt, to witness it in a classic comedic scene. This flick comes with a solid back-story(s), multiple plot-lines, and some real funny and anxiety inducing moments. We also got, Aunt Elizabeth, the crawling hand, the angry Vietnam soldier and the tool-shed! Lotsa' freaky Fun!

A NUMBER of Portlaoise publicans were last week fined at the district court, for selling alcohol after hours.
Lethean Limited, 65 Main Street, Portlaoise, was found to have people on the premises at 1.45am on May 19 this year.
Garda Inspector Martin Harrington explained that closing time was meant to be 12.30 to 1am.
Defence, Mr Declan Breen said there had been an office party on the night and the crowd were very slow in leaving. He said that the licence holder had been on the premises earlier in the night, but then had to leave.
There were no previous convictions.
The defendant was fined €300.
Portlaoise Wine Vault Limited was found to have people on the premises of Delaney's Pub, Main Street, at 1.50am on May 19.

Dawnie: Australia's Oldest Public Pool Is Finally Getting An Upgrade
By: Alex Harmon, 15 August 2019
Save the Dawnie! If you're an inner west local you may have heard this war cry around town. It's all to do with the gorgeous, historic salt water baths situated on a harbour peninsula at Elkington Park in Balmain. Up until yesterday, the heritage-listed Dawn Fraser Baths were in danger of closure due to a battle between Inner West councillors over the urgent repairs. The pool, renamed in the 1960s after local Olympic champion Dawn Fraser, who learnt to swim there, needed around $6.7 million in repairs, such as raising the boardwalk and pavilions to overcome sea level rises.
Fortunately for all the Dawnie fans, yesterday Inner West Mayor Darcy Byrne announced that the Council had received a $2.2 million grant from the NSW Government. Along with $4.5 million funding from the Council, it's just enough to green-light the necessary upgrades, and the restoration works are set to finish in time for summer!
The Dawn Fraser Baths feature a tidal saltwater pool and are home to Australia's oldest swimming club. Built in the 1880s, the Baths are Australia's oldest existing public pool.
Why We Love The Dawnie
The shark-proof tidal bath is a bit of a local's secret, so they will probably curse me for telling you all about it! But it's just so beautiful. It's managed to remain relatively untouched, unlike the rest of gentrified Balmain. In fact, it's the only enclosed Harbour pool that remains in its original form in the Southern Hemisphere. The kids love it at low tide when a small beach is revealed and is perfect for wading and building sandcastles. Oh and the kiosk sells the best hot chips in town!
Take A Dip
Children under 5 are free and adult entry is $5.50. The season commences at the start of Daylight Saving (October) to the end of Daylight Savings (April). Find out more about visiting the baths here.
Upgrade Project Details
As stunning as they are, an investigation found the heritage-listed pool is so rundown it poses a public safety risk. Fortunately, the upgrade is on the way. The following works have been fully funded and will start in September 2019:
Raising boardwalks and ground floor levels of the Entry Building and Southern Pavilion;
Demolition and reconstruction of the Southern Pavilion at the new raised ground level;
Retention, alteration and repair of the Entry Building to the Southern Pavilion;
Installation of new solar panels to the Northern Pavilion and four water polo lights;
Installation of fire sprinkler system and emergency upgrades; and
Associated alterations to the perimeter paths, seawalls and eastern perimeter entry.
You can view the Dawn Fraser Baths project updates page for details.

You just want to add a bit of text here and there on a spaceship and you search around in Mari for that elusive text tool that shines with the lack of its existence. Fear not! Mari Extension Pack to the rescue.
I have been using Mari for about 10 years now and adding text is one of those things you end up doing regularly on assets. Especially on hard surface assets. You always had to leave Mari for Photoshop or something similar to create text and bring it back into Mari. With the new extension pack plugin this will change as we can now add text directly inside Mari, We will still have to rely on a third party source but at least we don't have to exit Mari.
In the newly added text tool for Mari we have the usual ways of editing text and choosing fonts as well as ways to either create paint through images out of the text or use the paint buffer itself. If you want to store the text in to your image manager you have to rename the name of the current paint through image that the tool creates or it will overwrite with new text if you update the text from the window.
Working on a new intro for the channel I needed to slap on a bit of text on a cinema style lens and as the new extension pack beta just arrived I decided to test it.


It's very common to get nervous before a doctor's appointment, especially a new doctor. Whether you're thinking about scheduling a first-time visit to a dermatologist, or you already have an upcoming appointment with a new one, we know that you may be unsure as to what to expect from it. So, if it is your first time seeing a dermatologist in Santa Monica, this should put your mind at ease.
You'll help both the dermatologist and yourself by knowing as much as you can about what the issues are beforehand and localizing them as much as possible. Whether you're going in for hormonal acne or wondering how to treat worsening eczema, knowing what the issue is and having as much information as possible on how your skin reacts to the issue is the best way to help the dermatologist help you. Additionally, be sure to tell the professional about any products or treatment methods that you have tried in the past that haven't worked for you.
Seeing the dermatologist for a cancerous mole check? You will most likely have to show some skin. Going to the dermatologist for issues with your nails? Definitely avoid wearing any kind of polish or lacquer on your nails. Of course, it goes without saying that you shouldn't be wearing make-up, but it's worth re-iterating.
We can often feel timid when in the presence of an expert, deferring to what they say no matter what. Although experts are experts for a reason, communication is crucial, and asking questions and getting answers will improve not only the dermatologist's ability to help you but also your comfort level during the appointment.
If you're experiencing any kind of skin problems that are chronic or recurring but are dormant or have subsided during the time of your dermatologist appointment, bring photos! Photographs can greatly help the team gain insight into the nature of the problem.
At Grossman Dermatology in Santa Monica, it is our goal and mission to help you achieve the healthiest and most beautiful complexion that you can! We also have a location in NYC. Contact us today to book an appointment and get started!

Die Liste der Gebirge und Höhenzüge in Deutschland enthält eine Auswahl der Gebirge und Höhenzüge in Deutschland. Daneben enthält die Liste zu jedem aufgeführten Gebirge/Höhenzug den höchsten Berg darin auf deutschem Boden, dessen Höhe in Meter (m) über Normalhöhennull (NHN) sowie das Bundesland, in dem er liegt. Wenn sich der Höhenzug über Deutschlands Grenzen hinweg erstreckt, können jenseits davon noch höhere Berge liegen, die sich nicht in folgender Tabelle befinden. Vereinzelt kann derselbe Berg bei verschiedenen Gebirgen/Höhenzügen stehen, ein Beispiel ist die Zugspitze, Deutschlands höchster Berg, die zu den Alpen, den Bayerischen Alpen, den Nördlichen Kalkalpen und zum Wettersteingebirge gehört.

Erläuterungen zur Liste
Die Höhenzüge sind in alphabetischer Sortierung aufgeführt. Die Tabellenspalten können durch Klick auf die Pfeilsymbole bei den Spaltenüberschriften ab- oder aufsteigend sortiert werden.

Reliefenergie
Die Reliefenergie (maximaler Höhenunterschied innerhalb eines bestimmten Umkreises) ist in der Liste auf Basis von Kreisflächen mit einem Durchmesser von 12,5 km ermittelt. Es gibt im deutschen Mittelgebirgsraum keine übliche Bezugsflächengröße für die Ermittlung der Reliefenergie. In den USA werden 10 Meilen (ca. 16 km) als Maßstab verwendet. Werte über 15 km würden in Deutschland manchen kleineren Höhenzug vollständig einschließen und die Werte größer werden lassen als für den jeweiligen Höhenzug typisch wäre. 10 Kilometer sind nicht ausreichend, da wenig profilierte Gebirge mit flachem Anstieg zu geringe Werte gegenüber steilhängigeren Bergländern erhalten würden; ein Durchmesser von 12,5 km jedoch wird den meisten Gebirgen gerecht.

Die Koordinaten zeigen an, wo sich der Tiefpunkt des maximalen Höhenunterschiedes auf 12,5 km befindet.

Fläche
Da Reliefformen im Allgemeinen nicht trennscharf abgrenzbar sind, werden die Gebirge hier nur bestimmten Flächenklassen zugeordnet. Bei Grenzfällen (innerhalb 20 %) bis zur nächsten Stufe werden beide Kennziffern angegeben.

The pre-study brief on the feasibility of the new Customs Facility recommended a multi-level deck due to the site constraints. However, JPTA quickly realized that there was another way to manage the difficult program. Using some very creative brainstorming, we were able to find a way to successfully place the entire vehicular program on the street level. This was accomplished by two events: negotiating a land buy/sell with a neighbouring property; and turning the primary administration building into a bridge that straddled the actual tunnel opening. This option resulted in a $6,000,000.00 net savings compared to the pre-study budget allowance.
This project involved the design and construction of all the new facilities and a total redevelopment of the existing tunnel land in downtown Windsor. The program consisted of primary and secondary inspection stations, immigration offices, administration offices, toll booths, storage facilities, detention quarters as well as vehicular circulation design.
One of the most important aspects of the project was the fact that the entire customs operation was kept fully operational for the entire duration of construction. This was accomplished by our rigorous efforts in planning, phasing and scheduling. This customs check point processes over 4,000 cars per day; along with the Ambassador Bridge, the Tunnel forms the busiest international border crossing facility in North America. Due to an increase in cross-border traffic and the new age of security issues facing governments, this projects stands as a testament to proper master planning and facility design.

Consider 2016 the "Year of the Running Back" around the Pac-12. The conference is loaded at a position recently dismissed as expendable at various levels of football, but this current crop of ball carriers around the West refute that notion emphatically.
The Pac-12 features a number of backs capable of bringing the league its second Heisman Trophy in three seasons. Among them is Stanford's Christian McCaffrey, who very nearly completed a Heisman repeat for the conference.
Star running backs shine around the league, many of whom could give McCaffrey a run for top billing. But don't sleep on the quarterbacks. In a conference that long staked its reputation on quarterback play, the Pac-12 has a few candidates behind center that could emerge as Heisman candidates this season.
Some signal-callers didn't make this list, like USC's Max Browne and Oregon's Dakota Prukop, but could develop into top-tier players throughout the season.
As for the 10 who did make the cut, read on. These are the Pac-12's top options to represent in New York come December.
Lost in a disappointing 2015 at Arizona State was Richard's breakout performance. Head coach Todd Graham and former offensive coordinator Mike Norvell were impressed enough with Richard's ability to move D.J. Foster to wide receiver, and get Richard more opportunities as the feature back.
He delivered, rushing for 1,098 yards and eclipsing the century mark seven times in 2015. He also demonstrated a knack for as a receiver out of the backfield.
Arizona State's offense is an unknown heading into the season. None of the quarterbacks vying to replace Mike Bercovici have thrown a college pass. Uncertainty at other positions translates to uncertainty for Richard's ceiling, but if he lives up to the lofty potential Graham and his staff obviously saw, he could be the Pac-12's top dark-horse Heisman candidate.
Much of the focus regarding UCLA's retooled offense rests on quarterback Josh Rosen, but fellow sophomore Jamabo stands to benefit equally from a new perspective.
The 6-foot-3, 220-pound Jamabo functioned as a complement to the smaller Paul Perkins last season, showing off flashes of brilliance in just 66 carries. He maximized those touches, getting to the end zone four times and averaging more than six yards per carry.
As the Bruins' top option out of the backfield, Jamabo will see plenty more carries, but also function as a more consistent part of the passing attack. UCLA head coach Jim Mora said in April he anticipates Jamabo playing a key role as a pass catcher. That additional opportunity to fill the stat sheet should only help the running back's Heisman case, should the Bruin offense flourish.
Solomon generated a fair bit of Heisman buzz as a freshman in 2014. He led Arizona to its best season since 1998, including a Pac-12 South divisional title and appearance in the Fiesta Bowl. Solomon would probably be ranked higher were his sophomore follow-up not so injury plagued.
Solomon missed all of two games, and significant portions of others, which left the offense in the hands of running quarterback Jerrard Randall. With the offense rendered one-dimensional, along with significant deficiencies on defense, Arizona floundered at 7-6.
The Wildcats must compete for another divisional crown if Solomon's to again garner some Heisman talk. That's largely predicated on him staying healthy, as he continued to show off some impressive stuff when available last season. He closed 2015 with 20 passing touchdowns against just five interceptions, and improved both his completion percentage and yards per attempt from the previous season.
Head coach Chris Petersen rolled with a pair of true freshmen in his starting backfield a season ago. Either one of quarterback Jake Browning or Gaskin could become the first Husky to represent in New York since defensive tackle Steve Emtman in 1991 – especially if Washington lives up to lofty expectations and do what Emtman's team did, winning a national title.
Browning showed potential, but Gaskin actually delivered in Year 1. One of the nation's breakout surprises in 2015, Gaskin rushed for 1,302 yards and 14 touchdowns. He's capable of more in his sophomore campaign, contingent largely on Browning making strides of his own.
Falk emerged from relative obscurity to open the 2015 season, and finished it as the nation's leading passer with an average of 380.1 yards per game. Over the course of 12 games, Falk produced 4,561 yards, 38 touchdowns against just eight interceptions, and completed more than 69 percent of his attempts. The result was Washington State's best season since 2003.
Unfortunately for Falk, while his numbers warrant Heisman consideration if the Cougars contend in the Pac-12, the quarterback products of head coach Mike Leach seem to be at a disadvantage with voters. Leach's only Heisman finalist was a wide receiver: Texas Tech's Michael Crabtree in 2008.
If any player can reverse that trend, though, it's Falk. He's a special talent who could lead Washington State to a special season.
USC boasts an impressive wide receiver lineage, which has really taken off in the last 15 years or so. From Mike Williams to Dwayne Jarrett, Robert Woods to Marqise Lee, Trojan wideouts have been some of the best in college football. In 2016, Smith-Schuster can establish himself as the nation's premier pass catcher.
Smith-Schuster's 1,454 yards receiving in 2015 ranked fourth among all players in college football. He also hauled in 10 touchdowns.
Smith-Schuster's 2016 production largely hinges on the play of a new starting quarterback. Front-runner Max Browne's long ball looked sharper in practices than that of former starter Cody Kessler. If that translates to games, Smith-Schuster will benefit handsomely.
Former USC head coach Steve Sarkisian blew the whistle on the Jackson hype train in earnest at the 2014 season's conclusion. Jackson capped that, his freshman campaign, with a pair of touchdowns in a Holiday Bowl win over Nebraska.
Two trips to the end zone on special teams and offense isn't a bad night for a guy whose best work is done on defense.
Jackson returns in 2016 as one of the top cornerbacks in college football, but also one of the most explosive return men. He can throw on the same jets on special teams that made him a championship sprinter in Pac-12 track & field. And, while head coach Clay Helton suggested at Pac-12 media days that Jackson would be used more sparingly on offense, look for him to still be a big-play wild card in the Trojans' shuffle.
Few true freshmen quarterbacks ever face the hype coming in Rosen saw last year – in part because most true freshmen are redshirting. But Rosen stepped in for one of the most successful quarterbacks in UCLA history, Brett Hundley, and immediately upheld his predecessor's standard.
His three-touchdown debut against Virginia vaulted Rosen into the Heisman conversation from the outset last season. While that chatter died down, commensurate with UCLA faltering somewhat in the Pac-12 title race, Rosen set a school record for pass attempts without an interception, and finished his freshman campaign with an impressive 23 touchdowns and 3,670 yards.
Taking over an offense built to showcase his abilities, Rosen should see improvements in both his completion percentage and interception total – two figures that were among his least impressive in 2015 (60 and 11).
Alabama and Oregon both jockeyed hard for Freeman's commitment coming out of high school. The Crimson Tide looked like the more appropriate fit on paper, given Nick Saban's penchant for building around bruising ball carriers. Oregon flourished with more of a finesse back.
Freeman's arrival in Eugene defied convention, and all he's done in two seasons is set the program's single-season rushing record, and in Year 3, he's a threat to break the Ducks' all-time career mark.
He'll be the offensive cornerstone for an Oregon team in the unusual position of flying under the radar. Defending Pac-12 champion Stanford and trendy pick Washington surpassed the Ducks in offseason hype. Should Freeman lead them in exceeding expectations and returning to the Pac-12 Championship Game, expect him to bulldoze his way to New York.
On his way to New York and the Heisman ceremony in 2015, Christian McCaffrey did things not seen since Reggie Bush ran away with the award in '05. His punt return touchdown in Stanford's Rose Bowl romp over Iowa completed just the third five-way touchdown season in college football history, with scores made via the run, reception, pass, kickoff return and punt return.
McCaffrey's Heisman bid only fell short because competitor Derrick Henry also made history, surpassing legendary Herschel Walker in the SEC record books. An encore approaching his 2015 should land McCaffrey the honor come December.

Review: One to Watch by Kate Stayman-London
I am famously not much of a television watcher. Yeah, I know. My avid tv watcher husband wonders how we managed to ever get together given how different our interests are. ::shrug:: So it will surprise absolutely no one who knows me to hear that I've never seen even an episode of The Bachelor or The Bachelorette (are they considered different shows?). I do like to defy expectations though so even without having any interest whatsoever in the show, I couldn't wait to read Kate Stayman-London's novel One to Watch, which clearly owes a lot to the Bachelor franchise.
Bea Schumacher is a plus-size fashion blogger who hasn't been particularly lucky in love, having just been ghosted by the old friend she has always fantasized about after sleeping with him despite knowing that he's engaged to someone else. After the ghosting quickly followed by a not so great Tinder date, she tweets out some critical comments about the way that plus size people are always excluded from reality shows like her favorite, Main Squeeze. Her tweets go viral, leading to her being contacted to be the show's first plus size lead. She's officially done with love but decides to go on the show in order to up representation, having no idea how vulnerable being this much in the limelight will make her or how far she still has to go to be as confident inside as she is outside.
I don't think there's really anyone out there who thinks that reality shows are fully real, is there? Stayman-London has captured some crazy staged situations and ratings grabbing shenanigans on the show that feel like something that real producers might try to pull. When Bea is filming the show, the story is fun and flirty, right up until it isn't, and she is fat shamed and her own publicly hidden insecurities come racing to the fore again. She might present as sassy and confident but she hasn't fully freed herself from the attitudes and stereotypes she's heard all her life. The novel is told in tweets, texts, blog entries, transcripts, and interviews woven through the more traditional narrative, grounding this firmly in the present day. At times this felt like overkill especially for a reader who doesn't often immerse herself in all of these various media sources. The novel is humorous and cute but when Bea is hurt, the reader is hurt along with her. It makes sense that the men Bea has to choose from on Main Squeeze are also a diverse bunch since she's the first plus size lead. It does feel a bit unrealistic that almost all of the men Bea seriously considers are from an under represented group themselves and in some ways the careful inclusion of each group feels a little too much like tokenism. The ending was entirely predictable even as it leaves the reader with a huge smile and plenty of warm fuzzies. Readers who enjoy rom coms, especially those that tackle a slightly unusual social issue, and who love it when a heroine grows and learns to truly accept herself, will find much to enjoy here.

That sounds pretty good. Adding it to my TBR.
My 94-yo mom watches Bachelor and Bachelorette and I'm in the same room at the time so I can't stop myself from peering over the top of my laptop screen now and then to see what these idiots are doing. lol
are they considered different shows? - hmm good question! I mean, they're structured the exact same but sometimes a boy is looking for a wife and sometimes a girl is looking for a husband. Hey! Why don't they have a boy looking for a husband and a girl looking for a wife? Let's roll with the times here, people!
I don't think there's really anyone out there who thinks that reality shows are fully real, is there? -- Well...um...no, but I guess I like to forget that they're not and try to pretend that they are????
The novel is told in tweets, texts, blog entries, transcripts, and interviews woven through the more traditional narrative, - SOLD!!!! I can't wait to cheer on and cry with Bea!

About 500BC the greek philosopher Heraclitus said "Panta Rhei", which translates to "everything flows". The essence of his philosophy is that if you take a thing and examine it at two different points in time, you can always find something that changed in between the two. This thinking is at the heart of transitional modeling, in that not only does it capture the changes a thing has undergone, but also changes to the interpretation of the examination (making it bitemporal). Furthermore, while a thing is an absolute, an examination is relative to the one performing it. In transitional modeling concurrent and possibly conflicting opinions are allowed. Finally, examinations may lead to imprecise results or there may be uncertainty about the examination process. Both imprecision and uncertainty are well defined and representable concepts in transitional modeling.
I believe that even if you are not facing requirements that fits the above, yet, you will benefit from understanding the concepts of transitional modeling. Given some screws and a hammer it is way too easy to let the tool decide the solution, which is precisely what has been going on with database modeling.
Many features of transitional modeling can be found in our concurrent-reliance-temporal Anchor modeling. Why not take it for a spin in the online modeling tool?
Over the last decade schemaless databases have become a thing. The argument being that too much work is required at write time conforming information to the schema. Guess what, you only moved that work higher up the information refinery. In order to digest the information, it will at some point have to conform to some schema anyway, but now you have to do the work at read time instead. Would you rather spend additional time once, when writing, or spend additional time every time you read? You may also have heard me say that 'unstructured data is just data waiting to be structured'.
That being said, there is a huge problem with schemas, but the problem is that information needs to be stored according to one rigid schema, rather than alongside many flexible schemas. The rigidity of current schema based databases often leave us no option but to peel and mold information before it fits. Obviously, discarding and deforming information is bad, so I do understand the appeal of schemaless databases, even if they fail to address the underlying issue.
The only way to store the bananas above in my stomach are to peel them and mold them through my mouth, acting much like a relational database with a particular schema. The relational database forces me to do a few good things though, things not always done in schemaless databases. Identification has to be performed, where bananas are given identities, so that we know if this is a new banana or one that is already in the stomach. Thanks to things having identities, we can also relate them to each other, such that all these bananas at one point came from the same bunch above.
Another advantage of identities, along with the ability to relate these to the identities of other things and their properties, is that we can start to talk about the things themselves. Through such metaspeak it is possible to say that a thing is of the Banana type. With this realization, it is hard to understand why a schema should be so rigidly enforced, unless metaspeak is assumed to be autocratically written in stone, while at the same time being univocal, all-encompassing, and future proof. How true does that not ring to someone living in the real world?
No, let there be diversity. Let us take the good things from relational databases, such as identification and the possibility to express relationships as well as properties, but let us not enforce a schema, taking the best part of the schemaless databases as well. Instead, let there be metaspeak expressed using the same constructs as ordinary speak, and let this metaspeak be spoken in as many ways as there are opinions. Let us talk about #schemafull databases instead!
A #schemafull database is one in which information is stored as pieces of information, posits, each tied to a an identified thing, and opinions about these pieces, assertions, made by some identified thing. What class of things a particular thing belongs to is just another piece of information, about which you may be certain to a degree, hold a different opinion than someone else, or later change your mind about. These pluralistic "schemas" live and indefinitely evolve alongside the information. There is neither no limit to how much additional description these classes and schemas can be given. They could, for example, be parts of different (virtual) layers, such as logical or conceptual, or they could be related hierarchically, such that a Banana is a Fruit.
Surely though, if we are to talk about a things and have a fruitful conversation, must we not agree upon something first? We do, of course, and what we believe to be the least to be agreed upon are necessarily identities and roles, and presumptively values. As an example, looking at the posit "This banana has the color yellow", everyone who asserts this must agree that 'this banana' refers to the same thing, or in other words uniquely identifies a particular thing. The role of 'that having a color' must have the same meaning for everyone, in how it applies and how it is measured. Finally, 'yellow' should be as equally understood as possible.
The reason the value part is less constrained is simply because not all values have a rigorous definition. The color yellow is a good example. I cannot be sure that your yellow is my yellow, unless we define yellow using a range of wavelengths. However, almost none of us run around with spectrometers in our pockets. The de facto usage of yellow is different, even if we can produce and measure it scientifically. We will therefore presume that for two different assertions of the same posit "This banana has the color yellow", both making those assertions share an understanding of 'yellow'. There is also the possibility of representing imprecision using fuzzy values, such as 'yellowish', where 'brownish' may to some extent overlap it.
It is even possible to define an imprecise Fruitish class, which in the case of the Banana may be a good thing, since bananas botanically are berries. It's also important to notice the difference between imprecision and uncertainty. Imprecision deals with fuzzy posits, whereas uncertainty deals with fuzzy assertions. It is possible to state that "I am certain that Bananas belong to the Fruitish class", complete certainty about an imprecise value. Other examples are "I am not so sure that Bananas belong to the Fruit class", uncertainty about a precise value, and "I am certain that Bananas do not belong to the Fruit class", complete certainty about the negation of precise value.
A database needs to be able to manage all of this, and we are on our way to building one in which all this will be possible, but we are not there yet. The theory is in place, but the coding has just started. If you know or can learn to program in Rust and want to help out, contact me. You can also read more about #transitional modeling in our scientific paper, and in the articles "Schema by Design", "The Illusion of a Fact", "Modeling Consensus and Disagreement", and "The Slayers of Layers". Don't miss Christian Kaul's "Modeling the Transitional Data Warehouse" either, in which conflicting schemas are exemplified.
Stop peeling and molding information and start recording opinions of it instead. Embrace the schemas. Embrace #transitional modeling. Have a banana!
In our paper Temporal Dimension Modeling we introduced the concept of a twine. A twine is an efficient set based algorithm that can be applied when you have a table in which you have recorded a history of changes and some other table with related points in time, for which you want to know which historical rows were in effect at those different time points.
Let us look at an example. In one table we have stored the weekly billboard rankings of songs, and in another we have information about the artists performing the songs, and a third table with song information. The billboard table references both together with a ranking and a date indicating since when that ranking came into effect.
The ranking is historized weekly, so that if the ranking has changed since last week, a new row with the new rank is added with a later ValidSince date. The table below lists rows for the song "Let's Twist Again" by Chubby Checker.
Given that we know the song was released on the 19th of June 1961, we see that it went straight into the 25th spot. It reached the 8th spot as it highest rating, and the latest information we have is that it is currently outside of the top 100. Note that for some weeks there are no rows since the ranking remained the same. This is a typical example of managing change without the introduction of data duplication. Thanks to the fact that Ranking is exhaustive, such that that it can always express a valid value, there is no need for a ValidTo column (also known as end-dating). The benefit of avoiding ValidTo is that historization can be done using a insert-only database, avoiding costly update operations.
Now, let's assume that these tables have lots and lots of data, and we would like to know what ranking each song had one month after its release. This forces us to do a temporally dependent join, or in other words a join in which the join condition involves temporal logic. Picking up the song "Let's Twist Again" from the Song table gives us the 1961-06-19 ReleaseDate and the SongID 42. Looking at the table above we need to find which ranking was in effect for SongID 42 on 1969-07-19 (one month later). Visually, it is easy to deduce that it was ranked 15th, since that ranking is valid since 1961-07-13 until replaced by the best ranking on 1961-08-20, and 1969-07-19 falls in between those dates.
Unfortunately relational databases are inherently bad at optimizing in between conditions. The best trick before the twine was to use a CROSS APPLY together with a TOP 1, which would give the query optimizer the additional information that only a single version can be in effect at a given point in time. Using this approach still had us, after four hours of execution time, cancelling a similar query we ran for the tests in our paper. Rewriting the query in numerous different ways using known tricks with subselects, row numbering, last value functions, and the likes, produced the same results. It was back to the drawing board.
After a while we had a sketch similar to the one above on a whiteboard. I recalled having written about a very similar situation, where I called for parallel projections in databases. So, what if we could project one timeline onto another and just keep the segment where they match? We started by forming a conjoined timeline, where time points were labelled so we could determine from which timeline they had originated.
Now we just needed to traverse the conjoined timeline and at every B-point pick up the latest value of the A-point. As it turns out, conjoining can be done using a simple union operation, and finding the latest A-point value can be done using a cumulative conditional max operation. Both performance efficient operations that, at least theoretically, only requires one pass over the underlying tables, avoiding Row-By-Agonizing-Row issues.
The resulting code can be seen to above. The union will combine the timelines, on which a conditional max operation is performed with a window. The condition limits the values to only A-points and the window makes sure it is picking up the the largest one for each song. Now this also gives us rows for the A (billboard history) timeline in which the Timepoint and ValidSince always will be the same. An outer condition discards these by limiting the result to those relevant for the B (songs) timeline. When looking at the actual execution plan of the query, we can see that the tables have indeed only been scanned once.
Twining is very performance efficient! To drive the point home, the mentioned query that was cancelled after four hours only took seconds to run when it was rewritten as a twine. If you are worried about the sort in the execution plan, adding some indexes (that basically precalculate the sorts) changes it into a merge join. The tradeoff is that sorting is done at write time or rather than at read time, so it will depend on your particular requirements what you choose.
Finally, as an exercise, try to produce the twine for the question: "How many artists had a top 10 hit on their 40th birthday?" Happy Twining!
Frankeinstein montage, using images in the public domain.
Once upon a time, tech had no layers. Tech was obscure, unmaintainable and inaccessible, reserved to the few. Few implementors, few maintainers, and few users. Tech, ingenious as it is, circumvented its issues by introducing layers, and now tech is for the masses. Layers conceal the ugliness underneath, each layer bringing with it understandability, maintainability, and accessibility.
We have the layers to thank for the incredible development that put us in the Information Age. Doubtlessly, the layers have brought with them a lot of good things, but we should not forget that they exist because of a bad thing. Because tech is immature, poorly designed, insufficiently researched, or plainly opportunistic, layers are slapped on like makeup until it is beautiful enough to be sold to the masses. This has led to the rapid development of ugly tech and a tremendous waste of resources.
Unfortunately, efforts in the line of layerless architectures are often met with resistance. This is understandable. Due to the large sunk costs and workforce occupied with layers, the protectionism make them next to impenetrable. How much money is your organisation spending on layers? How much money are you making from layers? Have you ever stopped to question the existence of layers?
It is easy to see the incentives to keep the layers around, but they will have to go. Charles Darwin will make sure they do. The "survival of the fittest" will, over the long run, favour organisations that adopt well designed tech on which they spend less resources than their competitors. The only caveat is that evolution requires time, and right now precious time is spent researching layered architectures, rather than layerless ones. In its eagerness to satisfy the industry, too much effort is steered towards applied science and too little towards pure science.
We need to go back to the drawing board and question the inability of every tech that needs layers. Some may even have layers only for the sake of having layers, some cannot be saved, but some are ugly ducklings on their way to become beautiful swans. We will have layers for a long time still and they do serve a purpose while the underlying tech is immature, but we cannot let the layers prevent the tech itself from reaching maturity.
In every discipline there will be one tech to rule them all, and trust me, that tech will be layerless. Which side are you on? Are you going to be slayers of layers?
It is time to rethink the layer. When you see a layer, act with suspicion and question its existence. If nothing else, think about the costs involved having to maintain every additional layer. Above all, we need to go back to the root of the problem and create tech that needs few or no layers to be acceptable.
Back in 2012 we introduced a way to "fix" the issues with Slowly Changing Dimensions in Dimensional Modeling. That script was actually sent to Ralph Kimball, but seeing as not much has happened in the following seven years, we decided to become a bit more formal and write a paper about it. It is entitled "Temporal Dimensional Modeling" and can be read on ResearchGate. Even if you are not interested in Dimensional Modeling (disclaimer: we are not either), you can learn a lot about temporality and improper ways to manage it, through the existing SCD types. Of particular general interest is the twine, a clever way to find historically correct relationships, given information that is stored differently.
One of the prevalent techniques for modeling data warehouses is and has for the last decade been dimensional modeling. As initially defined, it had no constructs for keeping a record of changes and only provided the as-is latest view of available information. Since its introduction and from increasing requirements to record changes, different approaches have been suggested to manage change, mainly in the form of slowly changing dimensions of various types. This paper will show that every existing type of slowly changing dimension may lead to undesired anomalies, either at read or at write time, making them unsuitable for application in performance critical or near real-time data warehouses. Instead, based on current research in temporal database modeling, we introduce temporal dimensions that make facts and dimensions temporally independent, and therefore suffer from none of said anomalies. In our research, we also discovered the twine, a new concept that may significantly improve performance when loading dimensions. Code samples, along with query results showing the positive impact of implementing temporal dimensions compared to slowly changing dimensions are also presented.
The experiments in which performance was measured was done using Transact-SQL in Microsoft SQL Server. The code for reproducing the tests is available on GitHub.
When it comes to databases, there is an unspoken understanding that there is consensus among those who want to retrieve information from it. There is consensus on what the information represents, what it means, and which constraints are imposed upon it. But, can we be sure that is the case? Wouldn't it be nice if we could write down a timeline where we could prove there are intervals of consensus interspersed by intervals of disagreement? How great would it not be if this was possible to deduce from the information itself?
Posits do not differentiate between properties and relationships. They both share the same structure, but properties are easy to recognise since they only have a single role and id. The interval 1972–1974 in the second posit means that the information is imprecise, and expresses that since sometime within that interval Arthur grew a red beard, not that his beard was red between those years. If the color of the beard changes, a different posit would express this, along with the time the change occured. As can be seen, the address is a complex data type in the form of a structure. In the marriage relationship the angled brackets around the value <married> indicates that it is a complex data type, which in this example is a value from an enumeration.
The data types were picked specifically so that some parallels to traditional database modeling techniques can be drawn. That beard color is the name of an attribute in Anchor modeling, possibly on a Person anchor, of which Arthur is an instance having a surrogate key as the unique identifier. That address is a satellite in Data Vault, since the value structure is basically a bunch of attributes, possibly on a Person hub, where Arthur may have some hash or concatenation as its unique identifier. The marriage relationship is a knotted tie in Anchor modeling, where the knot constrains the possible values to those found in the enumeration, or a link in Data Vault, connecting Persons to each other.
Posits are neither true nor false. They just are. This is where the magic happens though. First, in order to be able to reference the posits, let's give them some names. In practice these could be their memory addresses in an in-memory structure or some identity column in a database table.
This comes in handy, since storing the complement of a value is often unsupported in information storages, such as databases. If another assertion is added for the same posit but by a different positor, it can express a consensus or a disagreement.
So it seems both Me and You are in complete agreement on the address of Arthur and we can declare consensus. However, Me thinks that there is a 75% chance that the marriage posit is true, while You only believe that the chance is 50%. Here some additional guidelines are needed in order to determine if this means consensus or not. At least it can be determined that we are not in complete agreement any longer.
It seems there was a time before, when Else was certain that the marriage took place as posited. Now Else has changed its mind though. This means that Now there is no consensus, if we look at Me, You, and Else, but Before there was. The full treatment of posits and assertions is available in our latest paper, entitled "Modeling Conflicting, Uncertain, and Varying Information". It can be read and downloaded from ResearchGate or from the Anchor Modeling homepage. There you can find how You can refrain from being contradictory, for example.
It is funny how limitations, when they have been around for a while, can be turned into beliefs that there is only one way of thinking. The right way. This is the case of databases and the information they store. We have been staring at the limitations of what databases can store for so long that we have started to think that the world works in the same way. Today I want to put such a misconception to rest. Databases store facts, so naturally we look for facts everywhere, but the truth is, in the real world there are very few facts.
The definition of a fact is "a piece of true information" and "things that are true or that really happened, rather than things that are imaginary or not true" according to the MacMillian dictionary. Let me then ask you, what do you know to be true? It is a fact that "the area of a square with the side x is x squared", however, limited to squares on a euclidean plane. Mathematics, as it turns out, is one of the few disciplines in which we actually can talk about truth. This is not the case for science in general though.
Is the statement "There are no aliens on the dark side of the moon" a fact? You would, if asked if there are aliens on the dark side of the moon, probably answer that there are no aliens there. However, if you were pushed to prove it, you may think otherwise. The reasoning would be that there is this extremely miniscule chance there could be something alien there. We could leave it at that and disqualify the statement as a fact, but let's not just yet. What is more interesting is why you are almost sure it is a fact.
Back in days of the ancient greeks, Aristarchus of Samos suggested that the Earth revolves around the Sun. Heliocentrism was then forgotten for a while, but brought back by the brave Galileo Galilei almost 2000 years later. You have to rely on these guys being right to begin with, and that the moon is not painted on the sky or made of cheese. Then, you have to rely on the Apollo 8 mission, in which astronauts actually observed the dark side. The photographs that were taken further imply that you rely on the science behind imagery and that any images have not been tampered with. You need to rely on that aliens do not have cloaking devices, or that aliens in generals seem unlikely, and that any claimed observations are not made by credible sources.
You can build a tree view of all the things you rely on in order to feel assured that there are no aliens on the dark side of the moon. I just need to put one of them in doubt for the fact to become a non-fact. This illustrates how fragile facts are, and that they therefore constitute a small small small minority of the information we manage on a daily basis. Yet, for the most part we continue to treat all of it as facts.
For this reason, in transitional modeling, the concept of a fact is omitted, and replaced by a posit. A posit has no truth value at all and is merely a syntactical construct. Assuming "There are no aliens on the dark side of the moon" is a posit just means that it is a statement that fits a certain syntax. In order for such a statement to gain meaning and some kind of truth value, someone called a positor must have an opinion about it. A second construct, the assertion, semantically binds a posit to a positor, and expresses the degree of certainty with which the positor believes the statement to be true or not true. Together they express things like 'Peter the positor is almost completely sure that "There are no aliens on the dark side of the moon"'. Concurrently it may also be the case that 'Paulina the other positor thinks there is a slight chance that "There actually are aliens on the dark side of the moon".
Information, is in this view factless and instead has two parts, the pieces of information (posits) and the opinions about the pieces (assertions), better representing its true nature. That two such simple constructs can lead to a rich theory, from which other modeling techniques can be derived as special cases, such as Anchor modeling, Data Vault, and the third normal form, may be a bit surprising. Read more about it in our latest scientific paper, entitled "Modeling Conflicting, Uncertain, and Varying Information". It can be read and downloaded from ResearchGate or from the Anchor Modeling homepage.
Lately, there's been a lot of talk about when a schema should be applied to your data. This has led to a division of databases into two camps, those that do schema on write and those that do schema on read. The former is the more traditional, with relational databases as the main proponent, in which data has to be integrated into a determined schema before it can be written. The latter is the new challenger, driven by NoSQL solutions, in which data is stored more or less exactly as it arrives. In all honesty, both are pretty poor choices.
Schema on write imposes too much structure too early, which results in information loss during the process of molding it into a shape that fits the model. Schema on read, on the other hand, is so relaxed in letting the inquiring part make sense of the information that understandability is lost. Wouldn't it be great if there was a way to keep all information and at the same time impose a schema that makes it understandable? In fact, now there is way, thanks to the latest research in information modeling and the transitional modeling technique.
Transitional modeling takes a middle road between schema on read and schema on write that I would like to call schema by design. It imposes the theoretical minimum of structure at write time, from which large parts of a schema can be derived. It is then up to modelers, which may even disagree on classifications, to provide enough auxilliary information that it can be understood what the model represents. This "metainformation" becomes a part of the same body of information it describes, and abides by the same rules with the same minimum of structure.
But why stop there? As it turns out, types and identifiers can be described in the same way. They may be disagreed upon, be uncertain, or vary over time, just like information in general, so of course all that can be recorded. In transitional modeling you can go back to any point in time and answer an inquiry as it would have been answered then and from the point of view of anyone who had an opinion at the time. Actually, it does not even stop there, since constraints over the information, like cardinalities, also are respresented in the same way. It all follows the same minimum of structure.
Our latest paper is now available, entitled "Modeling Conflicting, Unreliable, and Varying Information", in which Transitional Modeling is formalized. It can either be viewed and referenced on ResearchGate or downloaded directly from here. Much of what is found in the paper has been part of our courses since we began certifications, and is also available in the online course, but new research from the last couple of years has also been added.
Most persistent memories in which bodies of information are stored can only provide a view of that information as it currently is, from a single point of view, and with no respect to its reliability. This is a poor reflection of reality, because information changes over time, may have many and possibly disagreeing origins, and is far from often certain. Hereat, this paper introduces a modeling technique that manages conflicting, unreliable, and varying information. In order to do so, the concept of a "single version of the truth" must be abandoned and replaced by an equivocal theory that respects the genuine nature of information. Through such, information can be seen from different and concurrent perspectives, where each statement has been given a reliability ranging from being certain of its truth to being certain of its opposite, and when that reliability or the information itself varies over time, changes are managed non-destructively, making it possible to retrieve everything as it was at any given point in time. As a result, other techniques are, among them third normal form, anchor modeling, and data vault, contained as special cases of the henceforth entitled transitional modeling.
We hope you all will have fun with transitional modeling, as our research continues, particularly with respect to how it should fit into a database, relational or not.
In Anchor we follow the established paradigm that an instance in the domain we are modeling should only be represented once in the database. For this reason, the surrogate keys we use as identities of such instances need to be dumb in the sense that they neither by themselves can convey any meaning nor be an encoding of anything that has meaning. We prefer sequences, as they are small with respect to size, cheap with respect to the generation of identities, monotonically increasing, and reasonably hard to confuse with something that carries meaning.
The birth of date is followed by a delimiter and a four digits, where the first three constitute a three digit serial number, followed by a final check digit. The serial number is even for men and odd for women. The delimiter is a minus sign if you are younger than 100 years old and a plus sign once you get older than that. In other words, not an entirely stable key over time. To complicate things even further, foreigners visiting the country may be given a coordination number which looks exactly like a personal number, except with DD+60. In any situation in which you need to provide your personal number but cannot do so, you may also be given a reserve number. The way to create a reserve number is that it should retain a correct birth date but contain at least one letter instead of a digit in the NNNC part.
As many drawbacks as this system may have, it is a fact of life that every data warehouse in Sweden has to cope with. For example, the MD5 of someone staying in the country for a longer period of time with coordination number 890162-3286 is ee0425783590ecb46030e24d806a5cd6. This can be stored as 128 bits, whereas an integer sequence using 32 bits will suffice for the population of Sweden with a healthy margin. Let's also assume that we have a tie representing the relationship between married people. As there is a risk of divorce, such a tie must be knotted and historized. If we are purists, the key in the knot should also be a hash, even if it could be represented using a single bit with 1 for married and 0 for divorced. The keys in the hashed tie will consume 128 + 128 + 128 = 384 bits, whereas the sequenced tie will consume 32 + 32 + 1 = 65 bits. Caeteris paribus, the hashed tie is almost six times larger. The issue is further accentuated if you look at a plain text representation of the data. A sequence from 1 to 10 million will use less than 70 million characters in plain text, whereas the 10 million hashes will use no less than 1.2 billion characters. In a situation where the license cost is based on a textual representation of raw data, the hashes would be almost 20 times as expensive.
To continue the example, after some period of time, 890162-3286 gets a citizenship and becomes 890102-3286. The MD5 changes as well and is now 049fda914afa455fae66115acd78b616, completely different than before. Preceding the citizenship this person got married, so there are now rows in the tie with the wrong hash. In the sequenced tie we would expect to find the personal number as a historized attribute of the adjoined anchor. No problem here, two personal numbers now refer to the same sequence number, but at different time periods. The resolution with the hashed keys would be to introduce another instance in the anchor with the new hash together with an additional tie indicating that these two instances actually refer to the same thing in real life. Any query must now take this into account, slowing all queries down, and data must be duplicated, resulting in increased maintenance costs and degraded performance. Of course, if you are not interested in keeping a history of changes you can just update the existing rows, but this is a costly operation and may be quite troublesome if foreign keys are declared. We also presumed that such a history is a 'must have' requirement, as in any proper data warehouse.
The conclusion is that hashing is a poor choice when keys may change over time, due to the fact that the hash, while looking like a meaningless string, actually still carry the remnants of the meaning of the input. This is sufficient for causing trouble! We also saw that the size of "safe" hashes are significantly larger than integer sequences. By "safe" we assume that the hash is complex enough for clashes to be extremely rare. However miniscule the risk is of a collision may be it could still be a completely unacceptable event, should it occur. See Black Swan Theory for more information. The "safeness" of the hash is also proportional to the cost of generating it, so the safer you want to be, the more CPU cycles are used in order to try to reassure you.


Crazy busy weekend for me. The weather was great and I got a lot done outside. Left me too tired to write this up last night. Sorry for the early birds who usually get here before now. Hope people find some useful things anyway.

SHIP - Summer Hackers Immersion Program Really exciting looking summer program for computer science in Brooklyn NYC. I did a post about this last week but a link to the original announcement is worth re-sharing.


Celine and I went to Canada last month. She will be joining her family in British Columbia.
Some of the places we visited include Canada Place, Steveston Fisherman's Wharf, Downtown Vancouver (Gastown Steam Clock, Vancouver Public Library, Vancouver Art Gallery), Queen Elizabeth Park, and Gulf of Georgia Cannery.
I left Canada on November 22. I went to California first to attend Android Dev Summit (November 23-24) before going back to the Philippines.


Description	 I had been playing successfully for some time, killing off several hundred characters. Yesterday a little before midnight, the game began crashing for all new characters after I chose a race and class, before getting to weapon select. It seems to only crash with the weapon select screen. Choosing a wizard allowed me in the game normally.
If I use the console version, I can create the character, save, and then resume playing with the tiles version.
I went to watch a game at http://crawl.akrasiac.org:8080/. [^] That may be have been the first time in this computer. A definition update for Windows Defender was applied yesterday. The crash file doesn't mention, but I'm running Windows 8.1.
I tried reinstalling the game to a new location. That didn't fix the problem. I was surprised that the game carried forward my saves, so I guess info stayed saved in my user profile. I haven't tried deleting any of that yet, in case it's corrupting something.
Here's other info I could grab from pointing Visual Studio to crawl-tiles and seeing it trap an exception. I don't know if this is necessarily expected, but I tried to continue and it kept hitting it, so I'm guessing this isn't handled as part of normal operation.

Thank you so much, Neil. I did not have "weapon = ..." set. I removed start-ns.prf from my saves directory. I successfully created an ogre arcane marksman and a minotaur fight, so it seems to have fixed the problem.
Good to hear! I just cherry-picked the fix into 0.14 (0.14.1-25-g305bacd), so it will be in 0.14.2 when that is released. Thanks!
