From the Eastern Conference, the Medicine Hat Tigers beat the Prince Albert Raiders while the Edmonton Oil Kings lost in overtime to the Vancouver Giants. In the Western Conference, the Portland Winterhawks downed the Everett Silvertips while the Prince George Cougars completed a weekend sweep of the Kamloops Blazers.

In his first start with the Pats, Donovan Buskey stopped 27 of 31 shots for the victory.
Lethbridge Hurricanes at Red Deer Rebels – Scoring & Highlights
Lethbridge Hurricanes defenceman Calen Addison (Pittsburgh Penguins) recorded the first hat trick of his WHL career in an 11-2 rout of the Red Deer Rebels Saturday in central Alberta.
The visitors scored five times in the first, followed by three-goal performances in each of the second and third periods.

The Chiefs began to gain steam midway through the third with a short-handed goal from Adam Beckman (Minnesota Wild) and the game-winning goal by Eli Zummack. Larson put his second of the game into the empty net to secure the win late.
Lukáš Pařík (Los Angeles Kings) earned the win after making 34 stops.
Kelowna Rockets at Tri-City Americans – Scoring & Highlights
Leif Mattson scored twice as the Kelowna Rockets doubled up the Tri-City Americans by a 2-1 score Saturday south of the 49th parallel.

Roman Basran stopped 24 of 25 shots to earn the victory.
Everett Silvertips at Portland Winterhawks – Scoring & Highlights
The Portland Winterhawks earned another regulation win in a matchup of the top two teams in the U.S. Division, downing the Everett Silvertips by a 4-3 score Saturday.

Joel Hofer (St. Louis Blues) stopped 28 of 31 shots to earn the win.

Protesters In Puerto Rico Call For The Governor To Resign
By Adrian Florido,
Adrian Florido
Published July 14, 2019 at 11:01 PM HST
The governor of Puerto Rico faces protests demanding that he resign. Demonstrators have surrounded the governor's residence ever since local media published leaked text messages. In these messages, the governor and his top advisers engage in offensive exchanges. And we should warn you - we're going to quote some of them. And this segment will last about another 3 1/2 minutes.
Adrian Florido of NPR's Code Switch team is in San Juan, where he's done a lot of reporting over the years. Hi there, Adrian.
ADRIAN FLORIDO, BYLINE: Hi, Steve.
INSKEEP: Who says what in these messages?
FLORIDO: So these messages - they come from a private group chat that the governor, Ricardo Rossello, and several members of his Cabinet and his closest advisers used to communicate over the course of several months late last year, early this year. A few days ago, someone with access started leaking them, page by page, to the local media. And then on Saturday, Puerto Rico's Center for Investigative Journalism obtained all 900 pages and published them.
And they're - they can get pretty bad. In one instance, the governor calls the ex-speaker of the New York City Council the Spanish word for whore. He and his advisers - they insult journalists. They talk about discrediting the work of a federal police monitor. One of his advisers even makes a joke about the dead bodies that were piling up at a government facility before and after Hurricane Maria, which is obviously a very sensitive topic, still, here in Puerto Rico, more than - almost two years after the hurricane. And there are 900 pages of this stuff, so it goes on and on.
INSKEEP: Yeah. I have to mention - we're in this environment in which all kinds of things have been said in public and are in the news every single day. But I guess the fact of 900 pages puts this in a different category somehow.
FLORIDO: Yeah, and, you know, here in Puerto Rico, there is - there's a - there are a lot of crises. I mean, the island is trying to recover from an economic crisis. It's still rebuilding from Hurricane Maria. There have been a lot of budget cuts that have made it really hard for people to - here just to get by.
And so, you know, there's a lot of work that needs to be done, and there are a lot of people who are protester for the government to do what it needs to do to get people out of this hole. And I think to see the governor and his top advisers often making light of the situation, making fun of people - you know, it just - it became too much. And it sort of is what starts and drive these protests. People just got really angry about it.
INSKEEP: Well, that raises an interesting point. Wasn't Governor Rossello already in some trouble?
FLORIDO: Yeah. Last week, the FBI - he himself wasn't in trouble legally, but politically he was because last week, the FBI arrested two of his recently resigned top officials, the education secretary and the woman who had been charged with administering the government's health insurance plan. And they were charged for steering these lucrative contracts, allegedly, to friends or businessmen with political connections.
This was a big stain on the government's reputation because he has made this big point of trying to project an image of transparency and competence, in part because President Donald Trump has repeatedly accused Puerto Rican officials of being corrupt as justification for trying to withhold money that Puerto Rico still needs to recover from Hurricane Maria. So the image that Puerto Rico projects to the United States is very important here. It's really been one black eye after another for the governor.
INSKEEP: Does he still have some signs of support?
FLORIDO: He's lost almost all of his political support within the government, and obviously, there are these huge public protests. There are now talks within the legislature of possibly beginning the process of removing him from office if he (inaudible) step down himself. There's also talk within the media from well-sourced journalists that there might be more chats still to come, which could make this thing explode even bigger.
INSKEEP: Adrian, thanks.
FLORIDO: Thanks, Steve.

Windsurfing equipment and gear can appear to be confusing at first and particularly in case there are a number of models available out there. But this guide will help you sail through easily.
Windsurfing boards are majorly segregated into three main sub-categories – long boards, short boards and mid-length boards. The edges between these categories are quite blurred, however, generally a short board is around 310cm or lesser in length and without a dagger-board.
The main contrast between all-round long boards and short boards is that the long boards are extremely good to sail in light winds, however they become bouncy and hard to control in case of windy conditions. This is the reason why an experienced windsurfer will probably turn to a shorter board in case of windy conditions. Shorter boards are manoeuvrable and far controllable underfoot, and also are substantially faster. The Mid-length boards however offers a mix and match of both strong-wind and light-wind performance.
Sail, boom, mastfoot and mast are constituents of the windsurf rig. These are generally bought separately; however total rig packages are available along with beginner and intermediate Windsurf Boards.
There is a huge variety of windsurf sails available out there, so you must find out a size which suits your stature, requirements and ability.
The rig requires a sail, mast, and boom to be assembled appropriately. In case you have a total rig package, it would be appropriately matched with your sail, however since most of the rig components are bought separately, they come in different sizes, so as to cater to different sails, and different constructions.
The wetsuits available these days are incredibly sophisticated and are an amazing piece of kit. These are extremely stylish and lightweight. Very easy to get in, and also allows you to keep sailing all day long without any kind of chilliness. However, when it comes to buy wetsuit get the one which fits. It doesn't matter how many gadgets or gizmos the wetsuit has, or how expensive it is, if it doesn't fit appropriately it won't keep you warm.
The appropriate wetsuit is the one which fits so snugly and is virtually waterproof. There should be hardly any room for water to get inside. Your skin and the neoprene layer will warm the thin layer of water trapped between these two layers by your body heat, and thus safeguarding you in a covering of warm water.

Sure, you think you know the story of the fearsome red dragon, Dragonia. How it terrorized the village of Skendrick until a brave band of heroes answered the noble villagers' call for aid. How nothing could stop those courageous souls from facing down the dragon. How they emerged victorious and laden with treasure. But, even in a world filled with epic adventures and tales of derring-do, where dragons, goblins, and unlicensed prestidigitators run amok, legendary heroes don't always know what they're doing. Sometimes they're clueless. Sometimes beleaguered townsfolk are more hapless than helpless. And orcs? They're not always assholes, and sometimes they don't actually want to eat your children.
Heloise the Bard, Erithea's most renowned storyteller (at least, to hear her tell it), is here to set the record straight. See, it turns out adventuring isn't easy, and true heroism is as rare as an articulate villager. Having spent decades propagating this particular myth (which, incidentally, she wrote), she finally able to tell the real story - for which she just so happened to have a front-row seat. Welcome to Erithea. I hope you brought a change of undergarments - things are going to get messy.
About the Author: Sean Gibson
Sean Gibson, "author" and slackonteur, is not a professional mini biography writer (if he were, this would be much more compelling). Instead, he's a communications professional by day, hangs out with his amazing wife, son, and daughter by night, and writes somewhere in between. He holds a BA in English Literature from Ohio Wesleyan University and an MBA from the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University, though rumors persist that he also attended mime school (he is silent on the subject). Sean is a fan of sports teams from Detroit, a distressingly large number of bands that rose to prominence in the 1980s, and writing in the third person. He currently resides in Northern Virginia, and, given how much he hates moving, and given that his house has an awesome library, is likely to remain there for some time.
Sean is the author of several stories starring Heloise the Bard, including The Part About the Dragon Was (Mostly) True, "You Just Can't Hide from Chriskahzaa," and The Chronicle of Heloise & Grimple. He also wrote the Victorian-set fantasy thriller The Camelot Shadow and its prequel short, "The Strange Task Before Me." He has written extensively for Kirkus Reviews, and his book reviews have also appeared in Esquire.

Pronovost's Unique NHL Debut
Bob Duff - December 27, 2019 December 27, 2019
By today's pro hockey ladder, the equivalent would be a player being recalled from the East Coast Hockey League to make his NHL debut in the Stanley Cup playoffs.
In the spring of 1950, the championship hopes of the Detroit Red Wings were seemingly dashed when star right-winger Gordie Howe suffered a life-threatening head injury after falling head-first into the boards during Detroit's playoff opener against the reigning Stanley Cup champion Toronto Maple Leafs.
The late HOFer Marcel Pronovost was born this date in 1930. The longtime Red Wing won 4 Cups in the early 50's, grew into one of the NHL's premier D-men during the late 50's/early 60's & added one more ring with Leafs in '67 near the end of his career. pic.twitter.com/DFoybaCeEj
— O-Pee-Chee Stars (@opeecheestars) June 15, 2018
The Wings tried Gerry Couture in Howe's spot alonside Sid Abel and Ted Lindsay on Detroit's Production Line for the next two games of the series. When the Leafs took a 2-1 series lead, the Wings moved defenseman Red Kelly up to Howe's spot on right wing and inserted Clare Martin in Kelly's spot along the blueline.
That experiement lasted one game. For Game 5, the Wings installed 19-year-old rookie Marcel Pronovost on defense and two other rookies, brothers Larry and Johnny Wilson, into the lineup. Pronovost had spent the entire season with the Omaha Lancers of the United States Hockey League, two tiers below the NHL. He'd been named an all-star and the rookie of the year in his pro debut.
Detroit rallied from a 3-2 deficit to win the series in seven games. The Wings also came back from 3-2 down to defeat the New York Rangers to win the Stanley Cup final. Pronovost had earned a Stanley Cup inscription while still a teenager and prior to playing his first NHL regular-season game.
That alone would make for a legendary tale. But it was just scratching the surface of Pronovost's Hall of Fame career. He'd win three more Cups as a Wing and a fifth with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1966-67. Pronovost played in 11 NHL All-Star Games and was four times selected to the NHL All-Star Team – twice on the First Team and twice on the Second Team.
He was enshrined in the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1978.
That's A Fact, Jack
Like Father, Like Son? USA World Junior Team Certainly Hopes That Will Be The Case

Perhaps the most interesting move with this expansion is both current DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket subscribers, as well as those who cannot get DirecTV, will be able to access the service through Sony's PlayStation3 gaming and entertainment console. It's a new experiment for DirecTV — one they hope will expand their reach beyond dish connected homes. "It's our attempt to open up the universe a bit to people that can't get DirecTV – students, people who live in big apartment buildings and people who live in New York City – and it's a new revenue stream for us," DirecTV senior director of product management Alex Kaplan told Multichannel News. Multichannel reports the Playstation 3 delivered service will be priced at $340
The company has also partnered with NFL.com in launching an NFL.com Fantasy Football TV app that will enable those with smart TVs to view their fantasy football teams and scores directly on their TV screens while watching DirecTV Sunday football broadcasts. Pushing the personalization capabilities of connected TVs, a "Watch Now" icon assigned to every player on a viewer's roster will enable viewers to instantly jump to that player's game.
"We are constantly looking at new ways to enhance the NFL viewing experience and create more value for the loyal fans who continue to make this our most popular and dynamic sports subscription service,"
"With the growth in mobile and connected consumer electronics devices, we believe it makes sense to enable viewers to watch their favorite team on more of those devices, like gaming consoles, whose users include legions of NFL fans," said Tony Goncalves, senior vice president of product management.
Report: Amazon in Driver's Seat for NFL Sunday Ticket Package

Verizon, NFL 5G Partnership Targets 25 Stadiums with 5G Tech
As Promised, AT&T and TPG Capital Form a New DIRECTV
One thought on "NFL Sunday Ticket Now Available to Non-DirecTV Subs on Sony Playstation"
Gman says:
I'm sure this move will be more profitable for DirecTV in that a few more people will sign up for the services however there are far more people taking advantage of the NFL RedZone from DISH Network and other providers than who are paying $340 for Sunday Ticket. I love chocolate but I'm not going to buy a year's worth of Godiva simply because it's the best. Even if I could afford to do so it would be silly to justify that much money for chocolate when there are less expensive brands that taste almost as good. That's how I feel about the NFL Sunday Ticket. Extravagance for football is unnecessary when I can get all of the best 20 yard score plays on the NFL RedZone any time there is a game played live. No more switching between games or picture in picture; they do it all for me and on my DISH Network HD employee service for a fraction of the cost.

We know. The news is a little Too Long; Didn't Read sometimes. TL;DR is our roundup of the week in tech, just for you. We digest the biggest stories and trends in technology, business and innovation from across the web, and dish it out to you in 5 easy bytes (get it?).
1/ Can you really buy influence online?
Bots have made their way – reluctantly, and presumably without realizing it – into the media spotlight in recent weeks and months. And now people are posing hard questions to social media 'influencers' and the platforms they stand tall on. This week, The New York Times shined a light on those asking how big some Instagram audiences really are, and how far we can trust influencers to meaningfully engage with the percentage of their followers who are actual human beings. Because let's face it, bots just don't care about your brand (… unless you've programmed them to).
…But what about the crowd? Spotify has put more faith in its users, recently rolling out software that lets desktop app users input their own metadata. As Variety reported this week, Spotify listeners can now express their opinions on 'mood' and 'genre', whether a given track or album can be referred to by another name, and how it should be tagged. Unlike Wikipedia, the ultimate power rests with Spotify, not the crowd; and users' suggestions have to be accepted before they take effect. Nonetheless, this is a notable step toward data crowdsourcing in the music streaming business, and a perfect example of how to make the most of a devoted fanbase.
After Alexa's random laughing fits disconcerted people last week, you'll be relieved to hear we've now overheard some good news about Amazon's virtual assistant. Now that she's made herself comfortable in millions of homes across the world, Amazon's CTO gave the heads up on their next target: the office. And conversations are set to get easier, as a new feature now allows Alexa owners to relay a string of commands without having to say "Alexa" before each one (that'll usually kill a conversation, right?). It sounds like virtual assistants are about to get a lot more useful – albeit with an occasionally creepy side.
Hi. If reading that just gave you a warm fuzzy feeling inside, Inc.'s lowdown on a new piece of research into email greetings will come as no surprise. Recent analysis of 300,000 email conversations has apparently proved "dear" is a less effective salutation for encouraging a positive reply than "greetings", "hi", "hello" and "hey" (in that order). We think it's probably more complicated than that – and depends a lot on who you are and who you're emailing – but we're always pleased to see email etiquette taken seriously. There's a lot to think about if you want people to actually reply to your emails – we broke it down for you in a recent post.
If you've heard someone say "blockchain" recently it's probably been swiftly followed by the words "the future". But if you still don't actually know what it is, don't worry – you're not alone. After last year's giddy interest around the skyrocketing share price of bitcoin, Facebook and now Google have banned cryptocurrency ads – and people are still trying to get their heads around blockchain, the technology which underpins bitcoin (as well as other cryptocurrencies and a whole host of non-financial applications). This short, friendly video explainer from Wired will put your mind at ease. We enjoyed that, as well as this handy myth-buster which appeared on TNW. And why these myths need busting in the first place is the subject of a long piece in the Wall Street Journal (you might need to sign up to read it), which argues that blockchain will keep its mysterious reputation until a "killer-app" hooks it up to the mainstream.

Caprettone is a grape native to Vesuvius that has shown to have an extraordinary potential for winemaking in Campania, also when it comes to sparkling wines. Vesuvius is not only known for its eruptive activity through the years, but also for its unique and very expressive viticultural heritage. As in general in recent years, there has been a more intense focus on volcanic wine and autochthonous grapes also on Vesuvius. Caprettone is one of the grapes that is deeply rooted on the slopes of Vesuvius and in its history. In this context, Casa Setaro is one of the wineries that have valorized and given a voice to Caprettone as a grape that can stand on its own two feet. This is valid both in still white wines and in sparkling wine made with the Champenoise method. In the past, Caprettone was more used in blends with other grapes in the DOC appellation Vesuvio bianco and Vesuvio Lacryma Cristi bianco.
I visited Casa Setaro in Trecase during Campania Stories last year tasting their volcanic wines with an amazing view of Vesuvius in the background. Earlier this year, I was also invited to a lunch in Naples where they officially presented their Pietrafumante Brut Nature Millesimato 2016 that has rested 48 months on the lees. Pietrafumante has an exceptional character that draws your thoughts to that mythical air of Vesuvio, not only for its place in history and the legends that surround it but also, in February, for a sense of escape from a world in lockdown that it gave us. A sparkling trip to a sunny Naples to taste Pietrafumante Brut Nature Millesimato was a true injection of energy in the midst of a pandemic world.
Read on to find out more about Caprettone, Casa Setaro, and winemaking on Vesuvius.
Piedirosso vineyard at Casa Setaro
Casa Setaro: A Winery Giving An Expression to Native Grapes on Vesuvius
Massimo Setaro took over Casa Setaro, the family winery, on Vesuvius in 2004 together with his wife MariaRosaria De Rosa. He had a rich viticultural and winemaking heritage to lean back on thanks to his father Vincenzo Setaro. The winery that is organically certified comprises 14 hectares of vineyard plots on sandy soil that are located on the southern facing slopes inside the National Park of Vesuvius. There they grow Caprettone, Falanghina, Piedirosso, and Aglianico that are used to produce wines with great character. For fermentation, maturation, and aging, they mainly use steel tanks, big oak casks, and tonneaux but have also started experimenting with amphora. Casa Setaro also stands out for producing a sparkling Caprettone wine with the Champenoise method. More about this further below…
Did you know that there is an interesting particularity about their winery building?
The wine cellar has, in fact, been dug out in the volcanic rock right under the house where Massimo and his family live. The volcanic rock was formed during the 'great' eruption in 79 AD.
Caprettone, An Autoctonous Grape on Vesuvius
Caprettone is probably a grape in Campania that until recently was quite unknown for the world at large because it was often confused with Coda di Volpe. In fact, Caprettone used to be considered the same as Coda di Volpe, i.e. just another name used locally for Coda di Volpe. Ian D'Agatha thinks that many wine producers on Vesuvius probably were growing Caprettone in their vineyards in the past, but said they were growing Coda di Volpe because the latter one is more well-known. In any case, the form of the grapes is different as the grape cluster of the Coda di Volpe is formed similar to a foxtail while the Caprettone has small and a bit thin grapes. The Caprettone grapes look like the beard of a goat, thereof the name. (See Ian D'Agatha, Native Wine Grapes of Italy, pp. 230-231)
Research has shown though that Caprettone is a grape variety all on its own and since 2014 it is registered in the Italian national registry for grape varieties (Registro nazionale delle varietà di vite). Caprettone is considered to be related to Ginestra, a local white grape variety, and Piedirosso. (D'Agatha, pp. 230-231.) Massimo Setaro says that he and other producers on Vesuvio worked hard to get the Caprettone acknowledged and registered in the national registry. Already, Massimo's father Vincenzo had worked to maintain and safeguard local varieties in the past.
Viticulture on Vesuvius dates to ancient times and, in my opinion, it is therefore important to also give the attention to local grapes that they deserve. I believe that already Plinius the Elder mentioned Vesuvius and its viticulture in his Naturalis Historia and, furthermore, it has also been written about in Italian and international literature. The Roman poet Virgil, for example, talked about fertility while Strabo described it as a mountain rich with vines.
Propagation of Piedirosso vine at Casa Setaro
What is, moreover, unique with Vesuvius and its volcanic soil is that most of the vines are ungrafted and were never affected by the phylloxera. Another interesting thing, is the often used method of 'propaggine', i.e. the propagation, or 'offshoot', method. Massimo Setaro showed us this in his Piedirosso vineyard plot just next to his house when I was visiting his winery. He explained how this means that a branch of the mother vine is layered into the ground to give life to a new vine. When the new vine has developed its own root system the connection to the main vine is severed.
Now, let us get back to talk about Pietrafumante, a pure Caprettone sparkling wine…
Pietrafumante, A Smoking Hot, hmm meant… Good Sparkling Wine
Massimo Setaro has been at the forefront when it comes to producing sparkling wine made with Caprettone on Vesuvius in Campania for years. He produces the Pietrafumante Caprettone Spumante Metodo Classico that rests on the less in the bottle for 30 months on a continuous basis. This year, as I mentioned above, he also introduced a version where the Caprettone wine rests on the lees for 48 months to, even more, show the excellence of this native grape. In Naples earlier this year, Massimo said that
"Caprettone is a grape with a thousand facets."
(Caprettone é un'uva con mille sfacettature.)
This becomes clear when you taste the Pietrafumante as well as his white Caprettone wines Munazei and Aryete where you, of course, have the volcanic imprint but also so much more. Aryete is matured in amphora and Massimo stated how the skin contact in amphora enhances the structure, complexity, and aromas.
Returning to Pietrafumante, it is a sparkling wine with complex floral notes, such as camomille, Mediterranean flora, and broom which as I understand it seems to be typical for Vesuvius. Giacomo Leopardi, in fact, praised the broom (ginestra) on Vesuvius in one of his poems called just La Ginestra. Pietrafumante also has lovely notes of citrus fruit, apple, peach, dried fruit, honey, and an almost lightly caramelized touch. As it ages, Massimo mentioned that it has a tendency to become sweeter with more pronounced notes of resin, honey, and candied fruit.
Massimo furthermore explained that Caprettone has never been considered as a grape particularly suitable for making sparkling wine because it has lower acidity than, for example, Fiano and Greco, but still it has a decent level of acidity. Pietrafumante indeed has a wonderful freshness. It also has a good minerality and Massimo stressed that there is a lot of potassium in the soil on Vesuvius. Pietrafumante has a slightly bitter aftertaste of almonds as well and I learned that this is another typical trait of Caprettone wines.
To read more about volcanic wines from Campania, see my article 3 Wineries & 3 Fascinating Expressions of Wine in Campania.
Caprettone and Vesuvius – A Winning Combination
Caprettone is indeed a grape that is closely linked to the viticulture on Vesuvius. Even though it in the past was not that well known, and still perhaps is not the first grape you come to think of when wanting to drink wines from Campania, it has come a long way. A lot of effort has really been made by the local producers to valorize this grape as something more than a grape to use in a blend with other grapes such as Falanghina and/or Verdeca. The volcanic soil brings out the best in the Caprettone grape. It is a grape that has found its place also in a sparkling format, especially with the Champenoise method.
So, if you want to try a different sparkling wine that lets you dream yourself away to a summer day on Vesuvius…you should definitely taste Pietrafumante from Casa Setaro. And, well, even if you do not want to dream yourself away to Vesuvius, Campania, and the summer heat but are a fan of sparkling wines this is still a wine to look out for.

Slide Processes and GIS in Norway
On 26 March 2008, the coastal Norwegian city of Ålesund was stunned by a rock face giving way, falling onto an apartment block constructed four years earlier, and knocking the building off its foundations, collapsing the bottom two floors. Five people were killed, bringing to the fore the challenge of contending with hazards when living in a mountainous country.
A slide-related disaster with so many casualties, and which could have caused many more deaths, is relatively rare in Norway. On average, Norway witnesses 10-20 landslide and avalanche fatalities per year, less than half the annual homicide rate and equivalent to the monthly death toll on the roads. Yet as new development expands urban limits, encroaching into less stable topography, and as affluence leads people to back country skiing and hiking, the dangers from slide processes are ever-present. Even if casualties could be entirely averted, economic costs would be incurred from evacuations, road closures, and bridge repairs-plus the expected cost of damage would need to be compared to mitigation costs.

To investigate and address these challenges, computer-based tools for analyzing risks, and for using the research to inform policy and practice, are becoming increasingly helpful. Tools such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) now routinely appear on desktops and laptops in planning and environmental departments, with user interfaces that make the software appear simple to use-which often masks its power and complexity. The capabilities of GIS as an analytical tool can, in fact, be overlooked in favor of data storage and linkage, along with visualization.
All these functions are currently being harnessed for slide disasters in Norway through a research team developing a GIS-based model to analyze risks and to further understand possible limits of and extensions to available GIS tools. The model accommodates all the most important slide processes in Norway, namely avalanches, rock falls, debris flows (Figure 1), shallow landslides, and quick-clay slides. The main outputs are the threats posed to human life and possible economic damage.
This form of GIS-based risk analysis is one of the first applications for Norway, although it draws on experience from, and adjusts to the Norwegian context. Similar work is underway on slide processes from around the world, including Iceland [1] and Switzerland [2]. Similar methods have also been applied to other potential disasters, such as those involving volcanoes [3] and floods [4].
The Model's Architecture
Risk is generally defined as a combination of (i) hazard, incorporating the environmental process, which for this case is slide processes in Norway, and (ii) vulnerability, incorporating the harm to society that could result, which for this case is loss of life and tangible economic damage, and why that potential for harm exists. GIS provides a solid tool for combining different layers of hazard and vulnerability information into a risk calculation. The model then automates map generation from the risk analysis.
For the first investigations using this model, a partially qualitative approach is being pioneered and evaluated for the hazard representation. For a given slide process, the model takes its input as a set of polygons defining hazard zones based on field surveys, historical studies, and average recurrence intervals of damaging events. This partially qualitative approach is powerful because it bypasses the usual limitations of strict return period calculations, such as assuming a constant baseline, incomplete data sets, and applicability of extreme value statistical models.
For the vulnerability factor, buildings that intersect the hazard zones are extracted from a national geodatabase maintained by the Norwegian Mapping Authority. The database contains the size and type or use of each building. Economic value per square meter for each building class in each municipality is calculated based on information provided by Norway's largest property insurer, and entered into a database in the GIS.
This database also includes estimates of the probability distributions of different event intensities. For each event intensity class of each slide process, other database entries are:
• The probability of impact on each building given an event in the hazard zone.
• The vulnerability of each building class.
• The vulnerability of people in each building class, representing another part of the vulnerability input and indicating the probability of death. For the moment, every individual is assigned the same probability of death, but that would later need to be differentiated by characteristics such as age, gender, illness, and disability.
Table 1: Study areas in Norway
A significant uncertainty is the assumption regarding how many people are in each building. While residential occupancy data could potentially be known precisely from census data, that information is protected by law. In any case, these values fluctuate rapidly. Cycles include day/night as people attend work and school, weekends and holidays, and trends such as children being born, young adults seasonally living in university residences, and workers retiring. Various social reasons for living in different locations and with different lifestyles mean that property size correlates poorly with the number of people living in that property.
Such values, therefore, have high uncertainty, but the database can easily be updated as better data become available. Additionally, toggling the values permits sensitivity analyses to be run or scenarios to be compared. Examples are (i) an event during a holiday weekend at night versus a working day at noon; (ii) an area populated by young couples versus retirees; (iii) the fatality consequences for different levels of occupant disability; or (iv) poor versus competent maintenance affecting building type vulnerability.
Once all these parameters are set, for every building, the risk to life and the expected average annual damage is calculated for each type of geohazard individually and for the combination of all geohazards. In its most detailed form, building-by-building and person-by-person results could be presented together with the original map of buildings. For a more synoptic and potentially more accurate (although less precise) view, the numbers could be aggregated over grid cells of a user specified size or characteristic.
Figure 2: Model screenshots from Otta in south-central Norway. The left panel shows the input data (buildings and hazard zones) and the right panel shows the model output in terms of estimated average annual damage to buildings aggregated over 100 m grid cells. NOK 100 ≈ EUR 12.5
As part of the model's development, a national database of input parameters is being constructed, capturing the demographic and economic variations among different localities. Notwithstanding changes over time, this can reduce the amount of field work and parameterization necessary in each location.
The high flexibility and wide scope of the model ensures that different locations, different slide processes, and different scenarios can be analyzed consistently, effectively from the same baseline. That assists in determining high priority areas for disaster risk reduction measures along with an estimate of how different measures could affect the casualties and building damage.
So far, the model has been applied to four different areas in Norway that experience different slide processes (Table 1). Figure 2 provides a sample from Otta in south-central Norway.
Expanding the Model
In presenting the model and results to policy makers and practitioners, care must be taken to note that the usefulness of the output depends to large extent on confidence in the inputs. Ranges encompassing the uncertainties or sensitivities of outputs to specific inputs could be a useful display, with the GIS maps presenting those ranges rather than absolute values.
Additionally, results can be provided for only the slide processes considered, not for all possible challenges from slide process that Norwegians face. The greatest slide process threat to Norway has yet to be incorporated into the model: tsunamis generated from slides plunging into lakes or fjords [5] or from giant underwater landslides in the North Sea that have devastated Norway's western shores in the geological record [6]. Both casualties and damage would be enormous and the GIS model would need to be further developed to consider, for example, different evacuation scenarios under different warning scenarios.

Is sleep apnea linked to cancer? Studies say, 'Yes'.
Is sleep apnea linked to cancer? Studies say, 'Yes'.
Recently, multiple studies have concluded that people with sleep apnea, a disorder that causes snoring, fatigue, and dangerous gaps in breathing at night due to throat muscles collapsing, are five times more likely to develop cancer. In fact, one of the studies found that people with the most severe forms of sleep apnea had a 65 percent greater risk of developing cancer of any kind.
Researchers believe this could be due to the body lacking enough oxygen, a condition known as hypoxemia. When people are deprived of oxygen, their bodies react by producing more blood vessels, which can feed cancer cells, and as a result cause tumors to grow and spread.
Approximately 28 million North Americans suffer from sleep apnea, with many cases going undiagnosed. This is due to most cancer patients not mentioning any sleep problems they experience unless their physician asks them.
Patients at Lake Park Dental who suffer from sleep apnea can be treated using continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, which produces a stream of air to keep the upper airways open while you sleep. An oral appliance may be another option if CPAP therapy isn't an option. If you have sleep apnea, Dr. Sarah Jockin and Dr. Nicole Morganti and our team will help you understand all of your treatment options, finding one that suits your needs.
If you think you may have sleep apnea, please give us a call at our Tampa, FL office to schedule an appointment.

Q: How can I add markers and attributes contained in JSON data to an OpenLayers 3 vector layer? My question is similar to a previous question I asked (Adding attributes contained in JSON data to OpenLayers popup?).  However, since I originally asked this question, I have upgraded to OpenLayers 3 (OL3) and am having some difficulties.
I am currently displaying an OL3 map using the following snippet code:
    var sourceBingMaps = new ol.source.BingMaps({
    key: '<My API Key>',
    imagerySet: 'Road',
    culture: 'en-us'
   });
    // Microsoft Bing tile source for roads
   var bingMapsRoad = new ol.layer.Tile({
    preload: Infinity,
    source: sourceBingMaps
   });
    var bingMapsAerial = new ol.layer.Tile({
    preload: Infinity,
    source: new ol.source.BingMaps({
    key: '<My API Key>',
    imagerySet: 'AerialWithLabels',
    })
   });

   var map = new ol.Map({
    renderer: 'canvas',
    layers: [bingMapsRoad,bingMapsAerial],
    controls: [],
    target: 'map',
    view: new ol.View({
    center: ol.proj.transform([0,0], 'EPSG:4326', 'EPSG:3857'),
    zoom: 3,
    minZoom: 3,
    maxZoom: 19
    })
   });

The code displays the BING layer without issue.  I have a JSON file, with a sample of the data below:
"LOCATION_A": {
      "latitude": 10.2070,
      "longitude": 25.3215,
      "altitude": 1.2,
      "status": "CLOSED",
      "serverAddress": "192.168.0.1"
 }

I am using the code below with jQuery to cycle through the JSON file and place the markers on the BING map layer.
$.getJSON('json/XMIT.json', function(data) {
      $.each(data.markers, function(key, val) {
        var pointFeatures = [];
        var markerName = this.name;
        var markerLocation = this.location;
        var markerLatitude = this.latitude;
        var markerLongitude = this.longitude;
        var markerAltitude = this.altitude;

        });
       });
      });

When this code is executed, the browser console provides the following error:
expected expression, got '.'

In regards to this variable:
var vectorSource = new.ol.source.Vector({
        projection: 'EPSG:4326'
        });

A: You need to create the layer and add it to the map's list of layers. You can just add the properties to the feature and then add that feature to the source for the layer. You can later access any of these properties with feature.get('altitude') for example. I would try doing something like this:
var markerSource = new ol.source.Vector(),
  markerLayer = new ol.layer.Vector({
    source: markerSource
  });

var map = new ol.Map({
renderer: 'canvas',
layers: [bingMapsRoad,bingMapsAerial,markerLayer],
...

$.getJSON('json/XMIT.json', function(data) {
  $.each(data.markers, function(key, val) {
    var newMarker = new ol.Feature({
      markerName: this.name,
      markerLocation: this.location;
      markerLatitude: this.latitude;
      markerLongitude: this.longitude;
      altitude: this.altitude;
      markerStatus: this.commsState;
      geometry: new ol.geom.Point(ol.proj.transform([markerLongitude, markerLatitude], 'EPSG:4326', 'EPSG:3857'));
      pointAttributes: {'location': markerLocation, 'latitude': markerLatitude,
                           'longitude': markerLongitude, 'altitude': markerAltitude,
    });
    markerSource.addFeature(newMarker);
  };

});

Cricket club open every day from three. Was there earlier this evening for a quick drink and game of darts. Very friendly venue and gaining in popularity. February 1st a local singer appearing. Well worth a visit.
Big baggies!  the problem with 1 thumb typing! I agree with your comments about the Hart incidentally. The 1 bar thing is nonsense. Not good either that the windows got put in. Agree too with your G'dog comments, although I'm usually gone before the idiots come in in a Friday and Saturday wanting to fight everybody.
, the 'g hound' imho just has that ' atmosphere' that i dislike.... so rarely use it now..
what is it with a pub with no beer ?
Walked past the Waggon this morning to see a notice for planning permission to demolish the place, presumably to build whatever on the site.
Before there are sharp intakes of breath, please remember that this was just a business that has now joined the George and Poachers as being not required. Business come and go, and fail if they do not reflect need. We have lost Stratton bakery, the Book Shop, the florist in the precinct, numerous restaurants / food outlets and the bike shop to name but a few, and the Party shop is going. All this shows is that these businesses could not keep afloat for whatever socio-economic reason, and have moved on to join BSA motorcycles, British Leyland, Woolworth's and other numerous brands that no longer exist.
I have to be truthful and say that in 25 years of local living, I didn't like the Waggon and preferred to walk past and take my trade elsewhere. My opinion only, but certainly reflected by more than a few to my knowledge.
Today's prophecy; the next to join this band will be the White Hart. Gone south since Rachel left, and has an odd business model. Why shut a bar and fill the place with TV screens? It doesn't seem to be attracting customers.
Today's observation. If you want something to remain, use it. I can see the Co-op going since the herd are now clamouring into M&S as though it is the only outlet in the village that sells foodstuffs; it isn't. Support independents, or don't moan if they go under.
Not sure The Co-op could be considered an independent store and it has come a long way from its Socialist roots, but to those who feel it is a shame to lose the only pub on this side of the village, I would say that The Waggon and horses will not be demolished at least until after the application to have the building listed has been considered.
