100 Years Later, We Know Their Names
There's a haunting story in yesterday's Times about a researcher who has finally managed to compile a list of all 146 people killed in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire 100 years ago. The haunting part of it is that nobody had managed to do so earlier. I had no idea that until now there were at least 6 people who died in the fire but had never been identified. A researcher named Michael Hirsch has spent the last few years combing at least 30 newspapers from the early 20th century, correlating missing person reports and death notices with public records, charity reports, and descendants' stories to compile the most accurate and complete list to date of those who died in the fire.
This story is a harsh reminder of the anonymity of immigrants' and poor people's lives in early 20th century urban America. All of those who died had relatives and friends in New York at the time who knew they were missing after the fire, but their bodies were burned beyond recognition and their disappearances weren't tracked, even with the enormous amount of publicity that the fire received at the time. Plus, the relatives' grief may have prevented earlier positive identifications. The Times mentions one family who put a notice about a missing relative in the Forward, the Yiddish newspaper, saying that "We believe that he survived the fire, but from great fear and being upset he went mad and is wandering the streets."
It's tragic that it took so long to find these names, but better late than never, I suppose.

I still get a hard copy of the newspaper delivered to my front door every day and am hoping that the New York Times won't ever stop printing on paper. I love politics and I love history, and I think our political discourse suffers because we don't think enough about the historical contexts of our current debates. I'm working on a PhD in U.S. History while trying to figure out a way to make change in the real world. This blog is part of that effort. Email me at blog at pastforwardpolitics dot com.

Everything Bad & Beautiful is the title of a live stage show and album performed/recorded by singer/comedian/actress Sandra Bernhard. The show ran in 2006 in New York City at the Daryl Roth Theater. In the performance Bernhard does what she is best known for: she rips apart celebrity culture while commenting on events of the time. Among the topics she addresses: Britney Spears, Laura Bush, Condoleezza Rice, Bob Dylan, Mariah Carey, golf and the war on terror.

The album, released in 2006, is a live recording of her one-woman show of the same title; it combines comedic monologues and musical performances. It was released by Breaking Records and was originally sold through the website and in the lobby of the live show. Unlike the majority of her other CD releases, it was a professionally manufactured CD and not a home-made CD-R.

In 2007 the label acquired a distribution deal for the album and a re-released version with an alternate track listing was released. It has slightly alternate artwork (only "one Sandra" appears on the cover instead of 3) and features bonus digital video content.

Most of the songs on the CD are covers of other people's songs. They include Christina Aguilera, Missy Elliott, Lita Ford, Vanity 6, Sheila E., Bob Dylan, Pink and Prince.

Carmena es un municipio y localidad española de la provincia de Toledo, en la comunidad autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha.

Toponimia
El término "Carmena" es posible que proceda del latín "Carminare", que significa cardar lana. También podría derivarse del bajo latín chasma que significa barranco, aunque parece más probable que proceda del término ligur carmo que quiere decir cima o montaña.

Geografía
El municipio se encuentra situado en una colina en la comarca de Torrijos y linda con las poblaciones de Alcabón, Santo Domingo-Caudilla, Escalonilla, La Puebla de Montalbán, El Carpio de Tajo, Carriches, Santa Olalla y La Mata, todas de Toledo.

Historia
Se piensa que la población fue fundada por los celtas. En la época del emperador Diocleciano, sufrió la persecución anticristiana del prefecto Daciano, siendo víctima de la misma la virgen y mártir santa Justina, actual patrona de la villa.

En 1204 se nombra a Carmena con motivo de la división de una heredad entre la Orden de Calatrava y la Abadía de San Vicente de la Sierra.

A mediados del  su industria estaba compuesta por seis molinos de aceite y una tahona. El presupuesto municipal ascendía a los 25 193 reales de los cuales 3000 eran para pagar al secretario.

Guerra Civil
Carmena como tantos otros pueblos de la provincia de Toledo estuvo afectada por el golpe de Estado del 18 de julio de 1936, y aunque quedó en zona leal republicana el avance de las tropas rebeldes hacia Toledo y Madrid, hizo que el pueblo pronto quedara bajo control de las fuerzas sublevadas.

De julio a septiembre de 1936, meses de miedo e incertidumbre por las noticias que iban llegando del avance de la guerra, se produjeron en el pueblo por pequeños grupos de incontrolados actos de pillaje, tropelías, y dos asesinatos, según los informes de la Causa General. Asesinaron al médico municipal en la carretera de Santa Olalla, y a un labrador en el paraje conocido como cerro del Palo. Otros tres vecinos tuvieron la misma suerte fuera de Carmena según la Causa General.

Por otra parte hasta finales de agosto de 1936 la iglesia municipal se convirtió en granero para uso común de los vecinos y su retablo, junto con el vestuario religioso, fue quemado en la puerta del edificio, acto al que acudieron muy pocos vecinos, según la Causa General.

Mientras tanto, las tropas militares, paramilitares falangistas y mercenarios marroquíes avanzaron hacia el centro peninsular, desde Extremadura y Talavera con dirección Toledo y Madrid, bombardeando todos los pueblos de paso, incluido Carmena, donde apenas existían guarniciones militares, solamente población civil. Los bombardeos ocasionaron numerosas muertes, y además destruyeron cosechas, casas, y granjas.

En Carmena se instaló para su defensa un grupo de mujeres milicianas encargadas de un puesto de ametralladoras, que de nada sirvió para que el pueblo cayera en dos meses en manos de las tropas sublevadas.

En estos meses de guerra, atendiendo a algunos datos del censo de población se puede saber lo que supuso al pueblo: Carmena tenía 2070 habitantes a comienzos de 1936, tras los informes del proceso de la Causa General llevado a cabo por el franquismo, el 26 de septiembre de 1936 había escapado el 40 % de la población (800 vecinos) y en ese informe destaca que "en su mayoría extremistas y personas temerosas de la acción de la justicia por su actuación durante la dominación roja", sobra decir que estos "extremistas" eran familias enteras, niños, y ancianos que huían de los bombardeos, que habían provocado en el pueblo seis víctimas.

Los bombardeos en Carmena se produjeron de forma destacada en la calle Alonso Veloz, Camino de las Zarzas, calle Barrio Nuevo, y General Mola, algunos de los vecinos se refugiaron en diferentes cuevas del municipio para protegerse.

Con la toma del pueblo por el ejército franquista, grupos de falangistas forasteros y locales junto con tropas moras iniciaron un proceso sistemático de depuración, imponiendo el toque de queda y ejerciendo la autoridad de forma descontrolada.

Las tropas moras, asentadas entre los caminos de El Carpio y de La Mata cometieron de forma consentida todo tipo de abusos y violaciones con la población civil, siendo víctimas algunos niños del pueblo.

Que se sepa, hasta la fecha, los asesinados de forma premeditada a partir de este periodo por los seguidores del movimiento fascista fueron cinco personas, enterradas en distintos lugares (Patio 42 del cementerio municipal de Toledo, Cementerio del Este, cunetas...). Se puede destacar el maestro de Carmena, Salustiano de la Fuente destinado en Pulgar y asesinado vilmente en el Cementerio de Madrid.

También y no menos espeluznante se encuentra el caso de los cinco carmeneros llevados a la fuerza, para ser esclavizados y torturados al Campo de concentración de Mauthausen-Gusen (Austria).

Además de estas muertes previamente planificadas, hay que contabilizar el número de vecinos que murieron en el frente de guerra por obedecer y defender el régimen democrático establecido, cifrado en torno a 12 personas.

Con respecto a los carmeneros que combatieron en el ejército franquista y murieron en actos de combate, existe un monolito que recuerda a estas personas en la iglesia del pueblo.

Patrimonio
A destacar la Ermita del Santo Sepulcro y la iglesia parroquial de Ntra. Sra. de la Asunción.

Iglesia parroquial de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción

Es del  y de estilo renacentista. Levantada, al parecer, sobre los restos de un antiguo castillo del que formaría parte el basamento de la actual torre de campanas.

El templo se forma de una sola nave dividida en tres tramos y brazos del crucero apenas desarrollados. Su ábside es de trazado plano, emplazándose debajo una cripta rectangular, y a su izquierda, dos estancias que componen la sacristía.

La cubierta es mediante bóveda de lunetos, que discurre sobre una cornisa corrida, al igual que el presbiterio. Encima del crucero se alza una cúpula rebajada sobre pechinas.

El coro elevado se ubica en el hastial de los pies formando un cuerpo independiente de la nave y separado por un arco de medio punto. Descansa en cuatro grandes ménsulas, entre las que nacen los lunetos. Una cornisa con decoración de dentículos recorre el borde del coro, así como una balaustrada de forja.

En el lado izquierdo se ubica una pequeña capilla con pilastras esquinales, ricamente decorada con temas barrocos, a la que cubre una cúpula de media naranja.

La torre de campanas es de sencilla fábrica, con basamento de tres cuerpos: los dos inferiores de planta cuadrada y el superior octogonal. Se ha resuelto con un vano en cada uno de los dos primeros pisos y ocho huecos (uno por cara) en el tercero. La torre se culmina con un chapitel octogonal de pizarra, con cuatro huecos y pináculo. Los vanos de los dos cuerpos bajos y el almohadillado de las dovelas de los arcos y esquinas se han puesto en relación estilística con el Hospital Tavera de Toledo.

En cuanto a la fábrica y aunque encalada por el interior, es de aparejo toledano, a excepción del cuerpo del cimborrio que va ejecutado en ladrillo.

Las portadas Norte y Sur se componen de jambas y dintel monolíticos sencillamente moldurados. Encima del dintel, se localiza una hornacina de ladrillo que remata en frontón triangular.

El muro norte del baptisterio aloja una lápida funeraria romana, epigrafiada con letras capitales y fechada hacia el .

Ermita del Santo Sepulcro

Pequeña ermita del , de planta rectangular, que se ubica a las afueras del pueblo. La fábrica está constituida por cal y canto, aunque, actualmente, blanqueada. Se cubre con un tejado a cuatro faldones, siendo el interior de techo plano.

En el paraje donde de esta ermita se halla un Calvario, que es el final del Vía Crucis que parte del pueblo. Antiguamente había catorce estaciones formadas por columnas de piedra sobre las que asentaban cruces de hierro. Hoy en día hay pequeñas construcciones de ladrillo con una imagen y una frase según la estación. Del Calvario, la cruz central se alza, a diferencia del resto, sobre una gradería de planta cuadrada de tres peldaños de sillería.

Casa de los Quevedo

La fecha de esta mansión es de 1538 porque así queda reflejado en un panel de azulejería, en el arco de acceso; aparece también el escudo de armas de los Quevedo.

Es un edificio de planta rectangular y dos alturas que se ha resuelto con fábrica de mampostería y ladrillo, es decir, aparejo toledano. En la fachada, en el piso superior, pintado a modo de imitación de sillares, se abren huecos muy pequeños, enrejados y situados inmediatos al alero, además aparece el escudo de azulejos. El piso bajo se horada con cuatro vanos con rejería de forja y un gran portalón de arco de medio punto adovelado.

El espacio interno consta de zaguán amplio en el que se encuentra otro escudo con una imagen mariana del .

Conjunto de casas solariegas

Su cronología oscila entre los siglos XVII y XVIII y se identifican por una serie de características comunes: se trata de grandes casonas realizadas en aparejo toledano con dos alturas, sólida rejería en las ventanas, escudos nobiliarios en la fachada y cubierta con teja árabe.

Son viviendas aisladas entre ellas, ubicadas en distintos lugares.

Casa consistorial

Edificio moderno, del  y de filiación historicista que cierra uno de los lados de la plaza de Cristo Rey. Posee una planta regular y dos alturas, formando un ángulo por uno de los lados y medianera por el otro.

La fábrica es de aparejo toledano, a base de hiladas y machones de ladrillo muy bien tratado y rigurosamente dispuesto. Las dos alturas del cerramiento quedan definidas por una línea de imposta resaltada por hileras de ladrillo.

La distribución de los huecos guarda una rigurosa simetría, ya que en el cuerpo central se abren tres portales con dintel de arco rebajado y sobre éstos, balcones. En los cuerpos laterales, por su parte, aparecen dos pares de vanos geminados, también con dintel de arco rebajado y rejería. En el eje principal e interrumpiendo el alero, se alza una torre que alberga un reloj, toda ella realizada en ladrillo y enmarcada por pilastras. Encima del conjunto, un templete de forja aloja la campana. El cierre general del edificio se resuelve con teja árabe y a cuatro aguas. En el lado izquierdo de la fachada y en el piso inferior se halla un azulejo protegido por un tejaroz.

Restos arqueológicos de época romana

Estamos hablando de una estela funeraria del  dedicada a Minia Ciae Chreste. Se encuentra empotrada en el muro norte de la iglesia.

LAX✈BUR✈LGB
The jet set years of Pan Am's stylish stewardesses and service for the masses may be the stuff of TV
nostalgia, but that doesn't mean you sacrifice comfort and care when flying out of town. Fortunately, the greater Los Angeles area is served by three commercial airports. Fasten your seatbelts as we discuss the good, the bad and the upgraded just in time for the holidays.
Susan Salter
BIG IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER, BUT YOU CAN'T BEAT THE VARIETY.
LAX is located just south of Marina Del Rey, 16 miles from downtown. (Why the "X"? Because when airports were required to start using three-letter codes in the 1930s—a few years after the Los Angeles International Airport was built in 1928—many existing airports simply added an "X" to their two-letter code used by the National Weather Service.) In 1837, LAX was a clump of willows on a land grant called Rancho Sausal Redondo. It was purchased by a Scottish lord, Sir Robert Burnett, in 1860 and was used as a sheep ranch and then a barley farm.
Because of its location on the coast, it is subject to more fog and other weather-related delays than BUR. It is the most convenient airport for travelers going to and from Beverly Hills and West LA, and it is by far the largest and most difficult of the three airports to navigate. LAX serves more than 70 million passengers per year and has around 635,000 take-offs and landings each year. Seventy airlines fly in and out, and the airport has more delays and longer security lines than its much smaller siblings.
The least expensive parking at LAX is Lot C for $12 per day. Central Terminal structures charge $30 per day–$3 for the first hour and $2 for each additional half-hour. Shuttles marked "C" take passengers to and from the lot and the terminals and run efficiently every 12 to 15 minutes; C and G shuttles also stop at the Metro Rail Green Line station, where travelers can hop on a bus to downtown LA, Culver City, Santa Monica and Torrance. There is a cell phone waiting lot at the southwest corner of Lot C. Vehicles in the cell phone lot must be attended at all times.
Frequent travelers use one of more than a dozen private valet services—the one with the most consistent praise seems to be the Hilton LAX valet service. The charge is $11 per day for self-parking and $12 per day for the valet service. Free shuttles run 24 hours to and from the airport.
LAX Flyaway vans offer round-trip service to Irvine, Union Station in downtown L.A., Van Nuys and Westwood. There are 40 rental car companies on site, as well as Prime Time Shuttle and Super Shuttle shared-ride vans. Roadrunner Shuttle goes to Simi Valley, Ventura and Santa Barbara. Taxis have an automatic surcharge, as of last April, of $4. The WiFi at LAX is spotty—with Neptune Networks kiosks that charge $6 per hour and around $9.99 for a day pass. T-Mobile hotspots day passes are also $9.99. First class and business class lounges offer free WiFi.
LAX is the place to go for all international flights and for people traveling from the Westside and Beverly Hills (though Long Beach airport can be reached from Santa Monica and Venice in less than 30 minutes in off-peak travel times). LAX is a hub for American and United Airlines. It offers, by far, the best food choices, with more than 60 restaurants, cafes and bars, many of them local: Gladstones 4 Fish in Terminal 3; La Brea Bakery in Terminal 7; Jody Maroni's in Terminal 6; Malibu Al's in Terminal 5; Redondo Beach Brewing Co. in Terminal 6; and the L.A. Roadhouse in Terminal 2. Shopping is best in Terminal 1, but there are See's Candies and Hudson News stands everywhere and a bookstore and a Body Shop in Terminal 7.
A THROWBACK TO SIMPLER TIMES, THIS SMALL AIRPORT IS MORE THAN JET BLUE.
Long Beach (LGB) is by far the most picturesque of the three—the main terminal feels like a balmy island airport. Lines tend to be quick (for security, ticketing and taxis), and the parking is simple and efficient but not as inexpensive as one would hope. Valet parking is $22 per day; Lot A (closest to the terminal) is $19 a day; and parking in covered structure B is $17 per day. Taxis can also be pricey—around $72 to downtown L.A., $60 to LAX, $45 to Disneyland and around $55 to South Coast Plaza. There are five rental car companies on site—the usual suspects: Alamo/National, Hertz, Budget, Avis and Enterprise. A $13 cab ride gets you to the nearest Metro Rail station and from there to the Blue Line bus station in downtown Long Beach.
The terminal, which services five airlines (Alaska, Jet Blue, Delta, U.S. Airways, and Allegiant), is currently being modernized using eco-friendly LEED design specifications and is scheduled to be completed by 2013. Most flights are on the west coast, but there are several each day to Boston, New York (JFK), Chicago, and Washington, D.C., as well. Legends Restaurant and Bar is truly delightful (there is often a bit of a wait for a table) and offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. Daugherty's Café downstairs is a good place to grab food (sushi, pita pockets, sandwiches, etc.) for your flight. Long Beach is the only airport with complimentary WiFi.
Bob Hope Airport in Burbank
AN IDEAL ALTERNATIVE TO LAX FOR YOUR DOMESTIC COMMUTE.
There are many reasons to love BUR (in 2010, BUR celebrated its 80th anniversary)—fans are loyal, enthusiastic and emphatic! Located just north of LA, BUR is best for travel in the west. Seven airlines (Alaska, American, Jet Blue, Sky West/Delta, Sky West/United, Southwest and U.S. Airways) serve around five million passengers a year. For visitors heading to Hollywood, downtown, Universal Studios or Six Flags Magic Mountain, arriving at BUR can cut down freeway time significantly. The airport is small (just two runways), easy to get in and out of, and the menu of parking options is fantastic—from economy lots starting at $10 per day to Black Diamond valet service (your own year-round space that is one and a half times the size of regular spaces—$14,600 per year!)
Burbank is the only airport with its own Amtrak and Metrolink stations on site (Jet Blue passengers can ride for free!) Taxi lines are long—after a brief scuffle to establish a minimum fare of $15.50 for all fares originating at BUR, the Burbank Traffic Commission announced that the decision was beyond its authority. There are four rental car companies on site (Alamo, Hertz, Avis and National), with shuttle service to additional companies. Food options are limited. Best sit-down food is at Chezz Burger; best drinks at the Paradise Bar. As for gifts … well, don't leave your shopping 'til the last minute—there's little more than newsstands here. WiFi is pretty good; $7.95 per day and $19.95 monthly.
Team Riva
I am glad to count Chef Jason Travi and the team at new Santa Monica hotspot Riva as my friends, so want to acknowledge that bias from the outset. I am rooting for Riva! Not that this second opening from the dream team that brought us Fraîche in Culver City needs it, as their fan base is already quite extensive. Riva is Chef Jason's spin on Italian coastal cuisine with a nod to some seriously good pizza; with his wife/partner Miho handling pastry, manager Thierry Perez on wine and partner Keith Fox watching vigilantly, this same quartet of talents has finally brought "real" Italian food and wine to Santa Monica.

Over 500 stranded hikers rescued from Indonesian mountain
mount rinjani

Strong earthquake jolts Indonesian island of Lombok
Death toll rises over 100 as rescue efforts continue on Lombok
Third earthquake rocks Indonesia's Lombok in under two weeks
Earthquake in Indonesia's Lombok Island leaves many dead
Death toll from Indonesia quake tops 380
More than 500 stranded hikers have been rescued from Mount Rinjani on Indonesia's Lombok Island, two days after a powerful 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck the popular tourist destination.
Hikers descending from Mount Rinjani arrive at a post in Sembalun, West Nusa Tenggara on July 30, 2018, after an earthquake struck Lombok the previous day. Groups of hikers began to pick their way down the slopes of a Lombok volcano on July 30 after a deadly earthquake triggered landslides that trapped more than 500 tourists and guides on the mountain. (AFP)
More than 500 hikers and their guides have been successfully evacuated from an Indonesian volcanic mountain after a deadly earthquake triggered landslides that trapped them on the mountain, officials said on Tuesday.
Tonnes of rock and mud were dislodged on Mount Rinjani in the 6.4-magnitude quake, which struck early Sunday and was followed by scores of aftershocks, blocking the hiking routes that crisscross the mountain.
Some 560 trekkers were originally thought to have been stranded, including citizens from the United States, France, the Netherlands, Thailand and Germany, as well as many other countries, according to search and rescue officials.
Journalist Jack Hewson has the latest from Jakarta.
"543 hikers have been evacuated – they arrived last night," national disaster agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho told AFP.
"There are now six people left ... They are all healthy and safe."
Hikers were able to start climbing down on Monday after guides discovered an alternate route that was unaffected by the landslides.
Most of the trekkers reached the base of the mountain by late on Monday evening, according to I Gusti Lanang Wiswananda, a spokesman for Mataram search and rescue agency.
"They were all tired, but in good condition and were checked by our medical teams on the ground upon arrival," he told AFP.
Wiswananda said one Indonesian hiker died on the mountain and a 30-person rescue team was escorting the six remaining trekkers down from Lake Segara Anak, near Rinjani's summit.
Hundreds of other hikers managed to get off the mountain on Sunday, according to officials.
At least 16 people were killed in the earthquake across affected areas of Lombok, while hundreds of buildings were destroyed, including a health clinic.
The quake created panic on the holiday island and sent locals and tourists running outside their homes and hotels.
Helicopters and search teams were deployed to scour the volcano's slopes and drop food supplies for those stranded on the mountain.
Some 189 foreign tourists, 173 domestic tourists and 181 porters and guides reached the base of the mountain last night, Sutopo said.
Rising some 3,726 metres (12,224 feet) above sea level, Rinjani is the second-tallest volcano in Indonesia and a favourite among sightseers keen to take in its expansive views.
Hiking trails on the mountain were closed following the quake due to fear of further landslides.
The epicentre of the earthquake was 50 kilometres (30 miles) northeast of Lombok's main city Mataram, the United States Geological Survey said, far from the main tourist spots on the south and west of the island.
The initial tremor was followed by two strong secondary quakes and more than 100 aftershocks.
More than 220 people suffered serious injuries in the quake, Sutopo said.
A Malaysian was among the dead, with another six citizens injured, the foreign ministry in Kuala Lumpur said.
A total of 5,141 people are staying in temporary shelters and in need of clean water, according to officials.

Q: Intuitive explanation of a stochastic PDE Lindgren et al 2011 connects Gaussian Markov Random Fields (which have fast calculation properties due to the Markov attribute) and Gaussian Processes (which can model many types of data). The connection rests upon the fact (from Whittle 1954) that solutions to a certain stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) defined below have a Matérn covariance (common in Gaussian Processes).
They then show that some models with defined Markov properties (like on a lattice, but they extend it to off-lattice data) are solutions to that SPDE and so all the fast calculations (such as the precision matrix) that can be done on Markov models lead to desired covariance properties. So we can do some GP calculations very quickly with this technique.
My questions are about the SPDE itself:
$$
(\kappa^2 - \Delta)^{\alpha/2}x(\mathbf{u}) = \mathcal{W}(\mathbf{u})
$$
where $\Delta = \sum \frac{\delta^2}{\delta x_i^2}$ is the Laplacian,  $\mathcal{W}$ is a white-noise process, $\alpha/2$ is an integer, and $\kappa$ is a constant that represents the inverse "range" of the covariance (something like a persistence length). What does this very weird equation represent? I hate to pull an "I don't get it" so here are some specific questions:

*

*On the LHS we have the Laplacian operator, which is the divergence of the gradient. What does a PDE with this operator imply about the solution? E.g. "$dx/dt = a$ means that x changes with speed $a$."

*On the RHS we have a stochastic white noise process $\mathcal{W}$. How is this different from putting something deterministic here? In the paper they call this "driving the SPDE with white noise" but I don't know what driving means in this context.

*They mention in the paper the relationship of this equation to diffusion. It would be helpful to flesh out that connection.

*They further extend this model to non-stationary fields with a slightly modified SPDE:
$$
(\kappa^2(\mathbf{u}) - \Delta)^{\alpha/2}\left\{\tau(\mathbf{u})x(\mathbf{u})\right\} = \mathcal{W}(\mathbf{u})
$$
Where functions $\kappa^2(\mathbf{u})$ and $\tau(\mathbf{u})$ vary throughout space. They show this ALSO has "local" Matérn covariance but globally could be a dense covariance with interesting global correlations. How does this relate to the intuitive picture from the simpler equation?

A: Ultimately, this is a very broad question so I won't even attempt to answer it completely. Stochastic PDEs are entire area of active research. Your confusion basically boils down to "what are SPDEs" which people spend careers answering.
Let me briefly remark on a few points:

On the LHS we have the Laplacian operator, which is the divergence of the gradient. What does a PDE with this operator imply about the solution?

If you have studied (non stochastic) PDEs you should have studied the Laplace equation, $\Delta u =0$, or with driving force $\Delta u = f$. I couldn't write up a full treatment of Laplace's equation so I won't. In most SPDEs there is a time component so there are the heat equation, $\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} =\alpha \Delta u$, and Schrödinger equation, $\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} = (i\alpha \Delta +V)u$. I can't go through a full treatment of these, either.
What you have is not exactly the Laplacian operator. You have a generalization called the fractional Laplacian operator. We define this operator by its Fourier transform. Recall: $\mathcal{F}(\Delta u )(\textbf{k})=\|\textbf{k}\|^2\mathcal{F}(u)(\textbf{k})$. So the so called "fractional Laplacian operator" has the following property: $\mathcal{F}(\Delta^{\alpha/2} u )(\textbf{k})=\|\textbf{k}\|^{\alpha}\mathcal{F}(u)(\textbf{k})$. See their definition of $(\kappa^2-\Delta)^{\alpha/2}$ here, which should not be that surprising.

On the RHS we have a stochastic white noise process W. How is this different from putting something deterministic here? In the paper they call this "driving the SPDE with white noise" but I don't know what driving means in this context.

At the heart of SPDEs is that noise term, that is the object of study. $\mathcal{W}$ is a distribution, meaning it is an object like a Dirac $\delta$ "function". It is a Gaussian distributed random field. Defining this object rigorously is not trivial. Like the Dirac $\delta$, it only makes sense when paired with nice functions (this is the integral formulation I was telling you about in the comments. This is very important). I recommend this paper by Davar Khoshnevisan, pages 1-4 (including equation 2.1) for a fairly complete definition of this process in the case of the stochastic heat equation which should give some insight. Also see this question for more information on the $\delta$ "function".
Here is a video of Field's medalist Martin Hairer explaining to a layman what and why we should study stochastic PDEs (this video is absolutely painless, no real math). This should answer your questions.

They mention in the paper the relationship of this equation to diffusion. It would be helpful to flesh out that connection.

I actually did my undergrad thesis on this connection. Basically, the (non stochastic) heat equation can be derived and solved entirely in terms of Brownian motion. Einstein did this in 1905, from a macroscopic level and Smulochowski did this from a microscopic level. I go over both derivations in my thesis. You can solve the heat equation in terms of expectation of Brownian motion. This is called the Feynman Kac formula. If you do Wick rotation to imaginary time, you get the solution to the Schrödinger equation. The solution to the Schrödinger equation is given by Brownian motion running in imaginary time. This is known as Feynman path integration, and was the subject of his PhD dissertation.
See also a post I answered on MO for this connection.

How does this relate to the intuitive picture from the simpler equation?

I'm not sure, I haven't read their paper, sorry. :)
SPDEs are a beautiful and useful field, I am glad you came across it. It is, however quite technical. I recommend a few mathematician's papers. I recommend:
Samy Tindel
Carl Mueller
Davar Khoshnevisan
I want to remark on one last thing. The field of SPDEs was recently changed by Martin Hairer's work on rough path theory and regularity structures, for which he received the Field's medal in 2014. I asked a question about this when I first joined math.SE, you can see here. I have since learned a great deal about rough path theory. You can see Martin Hairer's papers here, but be forewarned that they are extremely advanced.
I'm not sure if I answered any of your questions satisfactorily, but I hope I at least gave you some material to look for the answers. I am glad you are interested in this field!
If this is too much information, just watch the video from Martin Hairer. It is painless.

Coldest Inhabited Places on Earth - 24/7 Wall St.
The coldest places on Earth are mostly found in areas where no one lives (or would want to live) — places like the tops of mountains and research stations in Norway, Russia, Canada, and Antarctica.
The East Antarctic Plateau on the South Pole, for example, has had some of the coldest temperatures on the planet. Researchers recorded on July 23, 1983 temperatures as low as minus 129 Fahrenheit, making the region the likely coldest place on Earth. But what about the places where harsh winters are actually endured by their inhabitants?
The average daily temperature for the coldest and warmest months at each station, as well as station elevation, also came from the NOAA. To avoid clustering of stations within the same climate regions, no stations within a 500-mile radius of one another were included. In a majority of cases, the names of weather stations were changed to better reflect their surrounding municipalities. All data is as of 2017.
We removed from this selection places with zero or close to zero inhabitants — places such as Prince Christian Sund, Greenland, for instance.

"The Judge" (R, Warner), a courtroom procedural tucked into the folds of a family melodrama, feels like one of its own characters, a onetime champ who could have made it to the big leagues, had his potential not been squandered by someone else's poor choices. The movie has casting on its side, as heavyweights Robert Downey Jr. (playing a predatory Chicago defense attorney) and Robert Duvall (his estranged father) trade punches in a game of rope-a-dope that approaches heights of poetry. "The Judge" also possesses its share of astringent humor, some courtesy of Vera Farmiga, who plays Downey's bleach-blonde high school girlfriend with tartly funny throwaway lines.

4 Easy Ideas For Leveling Your Trailer - 17 Sep 2018 18:14
Your RV will have a fresh water holding tank but remember to bring gallon size in your rig and if you are out for an extended amount of time it may possibly be sensible to bring large five gallon potable water as effectively. This way you will have lots of water for drinking and household demands. We did not record our initial walk through for the pop up camper. That was a mistake. Luckily it was fairly simple to operate and we figured it out. Our second RV was a travel trailer and it was considerably far more difficult. We recorded the stroll through on my iPhone and we refereed to it once again and once again till we had all of the systems down pat.These kinds of trailers call for cars to be fitted with a brake controller kit and it really is a excellent thought to match an Anderson plug to the rear so you can best up the camper trailer batteries utilizing the towing cars alternator even though driving.I learned to back trailers in the military, but operating for an RV dealership is where I became proficient at backing trailers. We rearranged the complete sales lot about twice a month, moving and backing trailer right after trailer. Sooner or later I was put in charge of organizing and setting up quite a few RV shows where travel trailers and fifth-wheel trailers had to be backed within inches of walls, obstacles, and Simply Click for source other RVs.Chocks are necessary so your trailer stays put. You spot them in front and behind the wheels so it can't go anywhere on you. One particular time I parked on a slight grade that trailed down toward a river. In case you loved this post and you would like to receive more details about simply click for source i implore you to visit our own page. Kinda freaky! Nothing like wondering if you are going to end up in a home boat the next morning. But with wheel chocks, you are not going anyplace. It's kinda like low cost breaks.Offset back spaces are typically arranged in an offset grid. These meet the site visitors passage cars use to enter into or exit the parking area at a diagonal angle.

A genuinely fascinating trip.Prior to setting out on a trip, make positive you are clear on the policies of your campground. Some facilities permit no much more than a single towing automobile and one particular travel trailer per campsite although other people permit a lot more. If you are preparing to bring a motorcycle or ATV with you, or if you are preparing to have people who are driving their own automobile or truck, you are going to want to make certain that the additional cars will be allowed. The identical is true if you are planning to set up a tent at your campsite along with your RV, some thing that you might want to do if you are traveling with children or one more family members.Vacationing in a travel trailer can be a fun, cost-effective way to take pleasure in spending time away from property for a few days, a couple of weeks or even longer.

Developer Secures $50 Million in Construction Loans for Park Slope Condo
JDS Development has secured $52 million in construction financing for a new apartment condo it is building in Park Slope, Brooklyn.
The firm, known for high-end residential projects in Manhattan such as Walker Tower, received a $41 million senior loan from G4 Capital Partners, a lender that has funded other JDS projects. Savanna, a landlord that owns a large portfolio of commercial buildings in the city, provided the developer with an $11 million mezzanine loan in the deal.
The loan will be used for an 11-story, roughly 50-unit apartment building at the corner of Baltic Street and Fourth Avenue. The building, which is under construction and will be finished in the summer of 2017, will also have ground-floor retail space.
Two years ago, JDS bought the site for about $6 million, using an acquisition loan that was provided by G4. G4 rolled that loan and subsequent increases it issued to JDS, which helped pay for preparations needed to ready the site for development, into the latest construction loan it provided.
Obtaining financing for apartment projects is no small feat for developers these days, as banks have become concerned about the large inventory of high-end apartment projects being constructed throughout the city, especially in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
G4 has financed other JDS projects, including a $5.5 million loan for a development site the developer purchased last year in Williamsburg at 71 North Seventh St. for more than $8 million.
Founded by developer Michael Stern, JDS has become one of the most prolific builders in the city. The company is preparing to build the tallest tower in Brooklyn—a residential spire nearly 1,100 feet tall. It is also planning a 1,400-foot-tall condo tower on Billionaire's Row in Manhattan.
In recent years, G4 has been an active specialty lender in the city, providing several developers with acquisition and construction financing. The firm, for instance, provided the developer of the Williamsburg Hotel with $51 million of construction financing for that project, which is underway.
Specialty lending has grown as real estate purchases have become more competitive and speculative in the city. Developers need financing faster than typical lenders like banks are willing to provide to win out on acquisition deals. Specialty lenders, rather than banks, have also been more willing to take risks on developers' visions for pricier residential projects.

License of beats actually comes in two types of categories which are the exclusive rights and non exclusive rights. This is why it is very important that you read and understand the terms of the agreement. The license with non exclusive rights means that the seller will still own the original beat even after purchase. But, you will still own the track that you make in this license category. In this type of license the seller of the beat can resell their own beat to different buyers.
Exclusive right means that you own the beats and you have the right to do anything with it. But, the seller is still allowed to put restrictions. You will still need to credit the seller.
Aside from the license, you need to be sure that you are getting the best value for your money. You must check the price of the beats of the different websites. You must choose a site that can provide the best deals.
One way to find a reliable website is by reading testimonials. Select a website that is highly recommended. Reviews are given by people that already tried to purchase beats from a certain websites.
