YS 160 damage

The YS 160 engine failed to run properly so we opened it up. The valve lifter was stuck, _really_ stuck and we found metal shavings had jammed the pump piston. We tried to fix it but never got so far as to test it, when we saw the busted conrod we thought all was lost.

OS 61 FX nostalgia

I sold the F3A Calypso and I had to run the engine just one last time. Freshly overhauled and with new bearings, it runs like nothing else matters. Beautiful. Love O.S.! PS – I know I’m an idiot for holding the camera crooked AND holding the camera in the propwash at full throttle…

YS for OS: Laser engine change

The blue Laser has got a new engine, a YS 160. The Hatori 828 pipe has a much larger opening so the YS header does not fit. I fixed that with a silicone tube over the header which gave a very tight fit. The engine mount is new (Hyde mount from Central Hobbies) and I […]

‘Unsexy’ steel gets love from China’s middle-class boom

Spotting the link between fast rising Chinese consumers and steelmaker BlueScope takes some imagination. The Australian company is after all not the first enterprise which comes to mind when considering those likely to benefit from rising incomes in the world’s second-biggest economy.

Yet in China, BlueScope is largely a consumer story – an idea which will become more apparent on Sunday when its new $60 million manufacturing facility opens in the ancient city of Xi’an.

The Governor-General Quentin Bryce will be on hand to cut the ribbon, as will chief executive Paul O’Malley and board member Daniel Grollo . The ceremony will provide some official recognition for the company, which has quietly built an expansive presence in China over the past two decades.

But like many foreign companies which have come to China, this is a story about potential as much as current performance. And it’s all about the consumer.

BlueScope’s exposure to this mega-trend is via the infrastructure required to service China’s growing number of middle-class citizens who are demanding better-quality food, consumer goods and clothes.

As in all seismic changes the buying power of China’s middle class was over-estimated five years ago, but has accelerated in recent months.

It can be seen in the strength of Australian beef exports to China, car sales and even electricity consumption figures.

In an ideal world BlueScope will design, provide the steel and help build the warehouses which will stores these staples for the country’s new middle class. And given retail sales are rising at 13 per cent annually there should be plenty more warehouses required by the likes of Proctor & Gamble, Walmart and Coca Cola – all BlueScope clients around the world.

This rush to service consumers is how the steelmaker aims to double earning from its Global Building Solutions business – which is run out of China – over the next three years.

Analysts like Tyndall Asset Management’s James Eginton are not necessary convinced that this can be done in the time frame stipulated, but he’s closely watching the consumer story.

“I think the growth has been a bit slower than people expected, but I think BlueScope is well position to take advantage of the Chinese consumer coming through," he said via phone from Sydney.

The cream on top

“We look at it as the cream on the top if they can get that business working."

Mr Eginton estimates BlueScope’s China business could make up 15 per cent to 20 per cent of earnings over the next five years.

“I think their initial push into China has been good, but time will tell," he says.

The new facility in Xi’an, a city of 8 million people and famous for the Silk Road and Terracotta Warriors, has been built to service the country’s fastest growing areas. While the wealthier coastal provinces are maturing the central and western regions of China are still experiencing double-digit growth rates.

This means incomes are rising fast and so is demand for consumer goods.

The Xi’an facility – which was built in just 18 months and is China’s first industrial building with a 3-star energy rating (the country’s highest) – complements its eight other manufacturing facilities spread across China.

It also has 32 sales offices and a global engineering centre. Overall the company employs more than 2000 people in China.

“We’re probably one of Australia’s largest foreign investors in China," said Stewart Dellar, President of the Global Building Solutions business in Asia.

This presence and BlueScope’s position in the world’s second-biggest economy has gone largely unnoticed in Australia. “Building materials is not the sexiest business," said Mr Dellar. The this lack of “sex appeal" is all the more apparent given the building materials company has largely missed out on the biggest building boom in China’s history.

This is because BlueScope is not in the hot sectors. In recent years infrastructure and residential property have been the boom areas – BlueScope is in industrial and commercial property.

But this is set to change as China’s new leadership is determined to wean the economy off its reliance on fixed-asset investment as a driver of growth. Domestic demand is to be China’s new driver.

This is proving a slow transition, but it has picked up in recent months and economists are starting to talk about China’s “consumer-led recovery".

State schools make way for the independents

by Jason Murphy

Independent schools grew at the expense of government schools in the past decade as more affluent Australians invested in private education for their children, new ABS data shows.

By 2009 there were 1022 independent schools Australia-wide, compared with 919 10 years earlier, a rise of 11 per cent.

Government school numbers shrank 2.4 per cent in the same period, from 6967 to 6802. Catholic school numbers barely budged, creeping up from 1701 to 1705.

Student population data amplifies the trend. Government schools, which educate 66 per cent of students, grew by a meagre 1 per cent. Catholic school populations grew by 11 per cent, while independent schools were educating 40 per cent more pupils by the end of the decade.

Australian Education Union president Angelo Gavrielatos said the enrolment change coincided with the funding system introduced by the Howard government.

“It is a funding system that has an inherent bias towards private schools at the expense of government schools," he said.

Independent schools are funded as a percentage of the cost of educating students in the public sector. The funding received by independent schools depends on a socio-economic status score based on ABS data about the school community.

The federal government has announced a review of schools funding that Mr Gavrielatos hopes “can get rid of the discredited Howard government’s funding system".

The principal of Sydney’s Mosman Preparatory School, Garry Brown, said his school had not grown but “we haven’t had a drop- off either".

The school advertises annual fees of $16,212 for primary school students. “We’re focusing on the personal, social and emotional development of children. They’re things that I think would be our strengths," Mr Brown said.

“Parents don’t just want academic focus. In some sense they take that as a bit of a given in an independent school."

But Mr Brown said federal funding was important, even for the school with the highest SES score in Australia.

“There would be significant fall-out for us if parents had to pick up all those costs. We would probably lose children just purely on the financial issue."

I’m not typically a fan of the rom-coms. I’m gonna blame it on my film major background – having studied films and scripts and criticism so closely for my college degree, it’s made me a less than fun person to watch a movie with. I can see the script in my mind, and instead of suspending disbelief, all I can see are plot holes. If I weren’t me, I’d hate watching a movie with me.

Generally speaking, it takes quite a bit for me to LOVE a movie, especially a summer blockbuster or a romantic comedy.

Which is why I found Jumping the Broom to be such a pleasant surprise.

Sure, parts of the film meet those typical romantic comedy expectations. But the location, the cast, and the plot elevated it from the pack. Jumping the Broom is super cute, and full of visual stimulation, fashion inspiration, and vibrant performances by some of your favorite actors and comedians. AND, I’m so delighted to add, a great script cowritten by longtime Afrobella reader Arlene Gibbs, AKA NYC/Caribbean Ragazza to regular Afrobella commenters! I’d say that makes this a movie that totally deserves our support, bellas!

At a recent premiere here in Chicago, I was lucky enough to meet the iconic Angela Bassett (who stars as Mother of the Bride).

She looks STUNNING in person, and was so gracious in posing with me and Luvvie. Absolutely DYING to know her beauty secrets! And this month’s Ebony Magazine features sumptuous photos of the cast, and juicy interviews to boot.

I recently interviewed Ebony’s fashion director Elaine Welteroth, and she GUSHED over their May Mother’s Day themed issue. Angela Bassett, Loretta Devine, Paula Patton and Laz Alonzo look stunning on the cover. And can I just add on a personal note – it’s been wonderful to see the change in Ebony magazine. There’s clearly a breath of fresh air there, and over the past few months Ebony has managed to become a magazine I love and look forward to reading again. Trust me – as someone who always seems to be on an airplane, I am discriminating when it comes to magazines that get my money.

Ebony’s new fashion section alone reflects so many of the changes made. Vintage fashion inspiration via the ever-stunning Pat Cleveland. A turban tutorial from the divine June Ambrose. FLY photos featuring stylish mothers and daughters, including Kimora Lee Simmons, Nicole Murphy, and Alfre Woodard. And my favorite new feature – Style Spotlight, which features tastemakers you may not know much about. This month’s issue features Wolfgang Puck’s STUNNING wife, Gelila Assefa Puck.

Back to Jumping the Broom – in addition to featuring the cast and supporting the film, there’s a lovely crossover with Fashion Fair Cosmetics, which now has a Jumping the Broom collection of timeless eyeshadow shades and lip colors that are SO perfect for brides. Shade names include Chocolate Cake, Seashell, I Do, and Dreamy. Tres apropos.

I hope Jumping the Broom is hugely successful at the box office, and I love this multiplatform crossover. It’s rare that a movie made for us, by us, gets this kind of multimedia push and ALSO manages to be worth it. It opens nationwide on May 6, and would make for a super cute girls’ afternoon out followed by dinner afterwards, with your amigas or your mom!

Will you see Jumping the Broom? What do you think, bellas?

Patrice, thank you so much for the JTB love and the shout out!! It's very important folks come out opening weekend. We want to show the town (Hollywood) that there's an audience for films like Jumping The Broom. Sony's marketing team has been incredible. I agree with you that this kind of multimedia support is rare. I hope fellow bellas (and the bellos) enjoy the film. Arlene

I have seen trailors for this film for the longest. I hope it is released in the UK at the cinema and not straight to dvd as usually happens with great black films especially if like me you do not live in one of the major cities congratulations to the writer too. This looks like a feel good film and must be worth seeing,. I will wait patiently in the UK to see it

um, kind of a paula patton fan, but tired of only seeing light-skinned women as the love interests in these movies. If the guy is dark, it is okay--but tell me the last time a brown woman (beyond a shade of even caramel or mocha) played a major love interest. Getting tired of it. Don't know if I will be seeing it.

I saw this movie when it opened & loved it.HOWEVER !! My gal pal & I both said the same thing. We hear all this talk about black is beautiful & but when it comes right down to it, the old colorism messages are still there. Need a lead actress for love interest? Go for light skin & modified Caucasian features.Darker girls are aften cast as the "party girl" type as in "Coming to America" There's also a thread on Nappturality.com about how photos of black celebs,esp women, show lighter & lighter skin tones the more successful they become. The prime example being photos of Beyonce.There's also threads on the documentary "Dark Girls"( by very dark skinned actor Bill Duke) about the ridicule & disrespect dark skinned women get.

Advanced Serial Data Logger

Trust In Confidence!

For Windows 2000 - Windows 10 (2016) (incl. Server, x86 and x64). Latest version: 4.2.1 build 131. .

Processing data from HMI scale indicator

Problem scenario:

I’m doing a Project for a pecan farm here in New Mexico that wants to capture the weight of the bags of pecans as they are processed and save that data to an excel file.

I’m using a Rice Lake 920i HMI scale indicator with a WLAN card and I’m sending the data to the network each time the user presses the “print” button on the indicator. My goal is to transfer this data to Excel, such that each time the user hits “print” a new row is appended to an existing excel file that contains the data.

Currently, when the user presses “print,” the following data shows up in the Advanced Serial Data Logger main window:

Largest Pecan Farm
1 HMI 1, La Scala, NM   88111
Date/Time: 01.24.14:08:14.51
Superbag ID: 12312
Gross Weight: 2103lbs
Variety: Wichita
Grade: No. 1
Farm: Murano

I would like this data to appear in Excel as follows:

DATE             BAG ID               WEIGHT              VARIETY             GRADE              FARM 01/24/14         12312              2103                  Wichita             No. 1            Murano
01/24/14         12313              1994                  Wichita             No. 1            Murano
01/24/14         12314              2068                  Wichita             No. 1              Murano

  • Advanced Serial Data Logger Professional, Enterprise or Trial version
  • ASCII Data Query and Parser, DDE Server, Excel Export Pro

It is assumed that:

You've configured communication parameters (baud rate, number of data bits, flow control etc) in the data logger and can receive any data without communication errors.

The image above shows that the data flow is very simple, but we should extract data variables from a report with multiple rows.

It is clear from the data example above, that the data block starts with "Date/Time:" and ends with "Farm: " with some letters.

We are now ready for configuring of the modules. First, select the "ASCII data query and parser" plug-in (fig.1, pos.1) from a drop-down list. Then, enable a parsing option for data received (fig.1, pos.2) and select the necessary data export plug-ins. The DDE server (fig.2) will help us to check that the data packet is parsed and exported. The "Excel Export Pro" plug-in will write data directly to XLS file without Microsoft Excel installed.

Data parser plug-in

Fig.1.Data parser plug-in.

Data export plug-ins

Fig.2.Data export plug-ins.

Now, please, open the ASCII parser and query configuration window by clicking the "Setup" button near a drop-down box (fig.1, pos.1). The dialog window below will appear on the desktop (fig.3).

The parser configuration window

Fig.3.The parser configuration window.

The configuration process should be very simple if you have examined your data flow in the data logger window (fig.3). You should type in the same as in the data logger window in fields 1 and 2. Field #1 marks the beginning of the data block and the field #2 marks the end. In this example, our data block contains both markers. Therefore, all fields are not empty. The values to be typed in here are as underlined in red in fig.3 above. Because the end marked is not constant then we'll use a regular expression as a the end marker. The expression "\bFarm: [A-Za-z0-9]+[\x0D\x0A]+" means any string that begins with the "Farm" word and following by any characters from the specified range. The "RE" checkbox near the expression field specifies that this expression is the regular expression (not plain text).

Because the report in this example is rather short, then we should set the "Timeout" value (fig.3 pos.#3) to a corresponding value to prevent losing of a data. The option at pos.4 allows you to use the start marker in the parsing process.

The next tab is a very important part of the parser configuration. The data parser uses this information for data extraction from the data block. In the example, the data block contains 6 data items (look at the data example above) namely: DATE, BAGID, WEIGHT, VARIETY and so on, that should be separated out to different variables. Later, these variables will be used in the data export and will be placed in different columns of our Excel file. The file with all variables you can download here (right-click -› Save As...) and load it on the "Data parsing" page (fig.4 pos.#8).

Parser items

Fig.4. Parser items.

Any new items may be added by clicking the "Add item" button (fig.4, pos.7). Before adding an item the program will ask you about an item description. You can type any characters here, which will help you to remember a variable's content. For this example all 6 variables with their corresponding descriptions have been added.

Each parser item has a number of properties:

  1. Item name - this name will be bound to a column in the data export plug-in. It is a limited text description and cannot contain spaces and a few other characters;
  2. Parser's type - is a method, which the program will use for data extraction. Our parser has a few methods from simple to most powerful. In this example, where data items are placed in a variable place, we should use the most powerful method - regular expressions. This method allows you to extract a data from any position of the report by mask. This mask can be widely transformed and adapted to characters in the report;
  3. Data type - is the data type of the characters extracted. For example, you can specify FLOAT, DATE, TIME or STRING data types. The data will be converted to the conversion type later, in the data export module. The data type here is being used for formatting of the value, which will be specified on the "Data formats" tab later. In the example, we'll use the FLOAT data type for all numbers, the DATETIME type for date and time, the STRING for other parser items;
  4. Default value - the value specified here is to be used when data cannot be extracted from a data block. In this example, some numbers may not exist in the reports, therefore we should define a default value for all variables;
  5. Regular expression - in this example we need numbers or strings, which follow by dot or the ":" character in several places of the report. For example, a regular expression will as following: Date\/Time: ([\d\.\:]+). Here, the expression in parenthesis is our date and time, which we should extract to a variable. Please, search in Google for a detailed description of regular expressions;
  6. Entrance position - all our values are present in the report once only, therefore an entrance position for each variable is 1.

All other items have identical parameters, except a data type and a regular expression.

Name Expression Meaning
DATE Date\/Time: ([\d\.\:]+) sequence of any combination of digits, dots and colons
BAGID Superbag ID: (\d+) any digits
VARIETY Variety: ([^\x0D\x0A]+) any characters before a line ending characters (\x0D and \x0A mean ASCII codes for CR and LF)
WEIGHT Weight: ([\d\.]+) any digits (the units will not be included)
GRADE Grade: ([^\x0D\x0A]+) any characters before a line ending characters
FARM Farm: ([^\x0D\x0A]+) any characters before a line ending characters

In the next tab, you can specify basic format options as per (fig.5). In this example one variable has the "datetime" data type. Therefore the first option (fig. 5, pos. #1) allows you to convert the date string to a field with the "datetime" data type. We specified MM"."DD"."YY":"HH":"NN"."SS here, according to the data example above. For a detailed description of formatting characters, please, see the help file.

Date/time foramt

Fig.5. Date/time foramt.

Therefore the second option (fig. 5, pos. #2) allows you to trim unnecessary spaces from left and right from "string" values.

Click the "OK" button and close the parser configuration window. Then click the "OK" button in the options window.

Now that our parser is ready it is time for testing it. Connect your device and power it on if necessary. Check to see if you are able to receive a data block from the specified port. If the parser had been correctly set up, then you should see all parser items names and their values (fig.6) in the DDE server window below.

Testing parser. DDE server window.

Fig.6. Testing parser. DDE server window.

All parser variables are now ready for export to an Excel spreadsheet. You can read about it in the second part.

Amazing catch. I didn't even know IA had owned three beautiful Tridents. I know what you mean by experimenting at inappropriate times. It's when you look back at the result that you realize you may have missed the shot of the century.

7 quick takes

This is the Ben's Birthday Wish List addition, made especially for grandparents, aunts and uncles.
If you're curious about what I want for Ben's birthday Ben wants for his birthday please continue to read.  Otherwise I won't be offended if you think this is a crass way to get what we want.
Peace out!

B Parum Pum Pum Drum kit
$20 at the Peoria Target
It includes all kinds of musical instruments and the best part is that when the kid stops playing with it the music STOPS!

Deluxe Wire Puzzle Wrack
$20 at Peoria Target
It comes with a few puzzles, and has plenty of room to store the puzzles we already have.

Fisher Price Workshop Bin
$20 at Peoria Target
These plastic tools are so much safer than Trav's real tools that Ben is interested in, and there are no small pieces.  Or weirdo faces on the tools (like the Handy Manny tools - those are weird).
A wooden workshop bench would also be a really cool gift.

Fisher Price Little People flap board books.
About $12 at Wal Mart or Target
We have the Springtime book, but there are also zoo and farm ones.
These books are brightly colored, educational, and a lot of fun.

There are two options here:
a) buy discounted summer clothes in size 18-24 months for next summer.
b) buy warm clothes for this fall and winter in sizes 12-18 months.
Stripes, robots and dinosaurs are some of our favorite things to dress little boys in.

Boy Toys:  trucks, dinosaurs, tractors, knights, pirates...
Also, anything Melissa & Doug, including food/kitchen toys.
But no stuffed animals, please.

We'll be getting Ben a winter coat.  Isn't that exciting?

  1. This is just for my own curiosity's sake...why no stuffed animals?

  2. Because we already have a ton of stuffed animals. We have dollies, teddy bears, caterpillars, elephants, dogs, cats, an octopus, Piglet, bunnies, ducks... the list goes on. Lydia and Bennet do play with them but even with Lydia's arms full there are tons left, just sitting on the shelf. We could have 3 more kids and still have enough stuffed animals for everyone.
    What we have are very nice and were given with love. The collection is currently managable and I'd like to keep it that way.

  3. It seems that if those are the things you want Bennett to get for his birthday then you need to go to the store and buy them. Since it appears that you frequently have things bought for you (new couch) or given to you (gas gift cards, help fixing up your house) it is obvious that you aren't very appreciative. You make yourself sound like a needy spoiled brat.

  4. WOW Bonnie!

    I commend you for writing out a list for your son's birthday. In case others don't necessarily understand this... Bennett is your son and you have a right to tell people what you would like to allow and not allow him to have for his birthday. I don't consider this "spoiled or needy". In our home grandparents and family get the same list or they need to include a gift receipt. There are many toys out there that are not age appropriate, safe, or might not necessarily give the impression you would like for your child. This is not an issue of greed.... more that this is your parenting decision and yours alone. I say anyone that doesn't like it... too bad!

    While I haven't known you Bonnie for more than a couple years, I have always known you to be a very generous and loving mother. You are giving and lovely. Don't let others comments bring you down because they are only reflective of their own nasty nature!

    Love you Bonnie!
    Ashley Gifford

  5. is that last comment for real? or is that a joke? Do we know this Rachel? I'm just wondering because it sounds kind of mean??

  6. When we were first married, my late mother-in-law would always ask me for a list of what I wanted for Christmas. This was not the tradition in my family so I felt really uncomfortable and selfish doing so. For several years I couldn't provide her much so she sort of guessed. I began to realize that providing her with a list was a loving thing to do because it was very difficult for her to just guess. After I did provide her with a list, she would call and ask for more details so she could provide me with just what I asked for. This was not an easy task for her large and growing family but this was her love language. It was also through this tradition that I learned more about how to be a steward of what God blessed me with. Both of our families tend to provide help when someone is ill or working on a major project and we swap furniture all the time. Accepting gifts can be difficult but these feelings are often replaced by the joy we see in the giver's eyes.

  7. Rose,
    I wondered if maybe that's where Rachel was coming from - a background of not giving wish lists.
    We were raised doing so. I remember putting stars and initials in the Sears toy book and every Thanksgiving Grandma F wrote a list of things we wanted. Even today my brothers, parents and I email our lists to one another. Our view is we'd much rather buy what a person WANTS and will USE than blow our money on a guess and a return.
    I think, though, that she could have corrected me without name calling. (I know you agree with that.)

  8. I have no idea who Rachel is; she could be one of the many Rachels we do know, or an anonymous reader.

    Clearly though, she's been reading my blog for awhile because she knows about stuff that hasn't happend in awhile.

Heartfelt American music.

Michael Horvit is Professor of Composition and Theory at the University of Houston Moores School of Music. For 25 years he served as music director at Congregation Emanu El in Houston. During his studies at Yale University, Tanglewood, Harvard University and Boston University, Horvit's teachers were Aaron Copland, Lukas Foss, Walter Piston, Quincy Porter and Gardner Read. In other words, Horvit is one of the last links between the great American Symphonic School and today's music. Not surprisingly one can hear echoes of this illustrious past in such works as the Cullen Overture and Concerto for Brass Quintet and Orchestra (on TROY265, works for orchestra), resplendent pieces which conjure up great open vistas and exuberant optimism. This exceptional disc of chamber music further reveals his traditionalist style, particularly in the String Quartet No. 2, "The Wide Missouri," whose thematic material is mostly based on one of his favorite folksongs, Shenandoah. This is truly heartfelt American music. More of Horvit's music can be heard on TROY134 and TROY533.

Flopping the Classroom

flickr photo shared by volker-kannacher under a Creative Commons (CC BY-ND 2.0) license

I can still remember my first blended learning class experience.

It must have been 2002 or 2003, and I was taking early coursework toward a Ph.D. in Information Science at University at Albany. My professor, Dr. Tom Mackey, had the students do a short reading outside of class and write a public blog post as a response to a question about the reading (Note: he also provided a rubric for the post). This was due at 5pm the day before the class. Then, we would have to read at least three other student blog posts and comment on two of them.  The comment could extend the idea or could be a question, but it always began with a positive statement and ended with a positive statement (A comment sandwich?). This method was great for getting comfortable with online collaboration and supporting each other, while practicing digital literacy skill and etiquette. As a student-centered method of collaboration, we all learned from each other and improved as we became more and more comfortable with our online writing and interactions.

The next day we would all come to class. That is where the real magic happened.

Imagine having a class where everyone in the class had already thought deeply about the reading, prepared written, public opinions or statements, and had considered some of the thoughts of others in the classroom and commented on them. Everyone in the class came prepared for discussion, but more importantly, had already engaged in critical thinking and reflection. It was impressive how the work we had done online in the public blogs now was benefiting the in-class learning, and making the entire class experience better.

These in-class discussions were some of the most enjoyable of my college career. Dr. Mackey facilitated thoughtful discussions and created a respectful environment where the students were prepared and eager to contribute.

I never really knew what to call this method of teaching and engagement in the classroom. Years later I would hear it called “blended learning”, but that didn’t really capture it. It seemed like it was more than just blogging. It was purposeful and utilized the technology of the day to enhance pedagogy and dialogue, in a very real way.

Flopping the Class?
Yesterday, I came across Derek Bruff’s post on Flipping the Literature Class. His post reminded me of my experience. I then saw Kyle Bowen’s comments on Twitter mentioning that maybe what was happening could be called a flop, in reference to some of the in class activities mentioned in Derek Bruff’s post and a play on flipping the classroom. I was curious about what a classroom flop could mean, so I looked up some definitions of flopping. One of these had to do with jumping over a fence. I liked the metaphor, so I ran with it.  I could see flopping as bringing some aspect of the course and making it public, or hopping the fence of the traditional classroom to bring some discussions/writing/commenting out onto the open web. The experience that I highlighted above would be an example of flopping the classroom. Based on my experience, I believe that deliberate activities like this can help students develop key digital literacies around public scholarship, digital identity, and digital citizenship in addition to enhancing the in-class discussion.

Public Scholarship
Sharing your thoughts and comments in a public sphere is different from sharing comments within a learning management system discussion or private blog. In one, your audience is the teacher and the class, and in the other, the audience is the world. In this way, you are engaging in public scholarship. By bringing your thoughts to the open web, there is the opportunity for the public to engage in the conversation in addition to your classmates. While in practice, public comments may not happen very often, I have seen this public scholarship be very effective in courses that actively include the class but also have an additional group of folks following along online (one example is DS106). There is an opportunity for other faculty to participate in the courses as well, by commenting on the student posts, especially if a course is team taught. Overall, the collaborative opportunities are greatly enhanced by making things public.

Digital Identity
Another aspect of this type of public scholarship is that these interactions become part of your digital identity that you actively create. The more you write and share online, the more comfortable you become with your writing and your online interactions. These are important digital literacy skills. By curating your own professional interactions online, you build the body of work that people searching for you online will find. As students practice adding their reflections online, and positively commenting on others thoughts, they build a professional representation of themselves interacting online.

Digital Citizenship
Finally, a digital literacy that can be developed in writing online is what I like to think of as digital citizenship. It involves giving other people credit for their writing and ideas through hyperlinks, and also gets students thinking about the appropriate use of images and copyright. Teaching students where they can find Creative Commons images, knowing and understanding usage rights, and learning how to appropriately give the photographers or artists credit for those images (I like Alan Levine’s flickr cc attribution helper  used above) are useful digital literacy skills. Learning these skills can help students understand the greater digital ecosystem and how to act responsibly with digital content.

In applying the flopping analogy, you are hopping the fence of the classroom and entering your thoughts into a public sphere, where all of these digital literacies can be modeled, taught, developed, and practiced. This was what we did back in 2002/2003, and in my experience it led to a transformative educational experience.

How can we as educators help to improve learning inside and out of the classroom, inspire engaging classroom dialogue, while also guiding students to curating their own digital identity?

Based on my personal experience, “flopping the classroom” could be part of the answer.

Top Ten Geo Stories Of 2015

flickr photo shared by Calsidyrose under a Creative Commons (CC BY 2.0) license

My mind has been brewing for some time (since early December) on how to summarize and capture the year in “geo.” I deliberately cast a wide net with “geo” mainly to capture my personal interests in geospatial technology and also geography.  As I’ve been marinating and doing research on this post, I’ve had some great conversations with some folks in the great state of New York (Bill Johnson, Frank Winters, Eric Herman, Jeff Herter, and others on the NYS GAC. Additionally, a great #geowebchat on #topgeostoryof2015 with Alan McConchie helped to broaden my perspectives as well. I’m a GIS Instructional Technologist at a small Liberal Arts College in upstate NY, so my geospatial focus tend be more academic, but also focused on emerging technologies. My goal is to put together an interesting list and I’m hopeful that it helps someone who may have missed one of these stories over the past year. Additionally, another goal for would be some interaction with other like minded folks about these stories to further our collective thinking and understanding (either on Twitter or elsewhere).

Enough small talk folks, let’s jump right in.

10. First Ever GIS Analyst In A Hollywood Movie

That’s right. A character in a movie actually is a “GIS Analyst.” He also tries to explain what he does a couple times in the movie. If you are involved with GIS or mapping, you know how difficult it can be to describe what you do to others. The name of the movie is “What We Do In The Shadows.” (I watched it on HBO Go). Spoiler alert: you can also see all the parts where Stewart describes his job in the youtube clip above (just over 1 minute long). I personally think he does a good job describing GIS, and is treated a little unfairly by the crowd of vampires. Definitely check out the entire movie.

9. Register Your Drone

The big news in drones for 2015 came late. It came in the form of a “drone registration” program, which, as of this writing, 45,000 people had registered. Folks to pay stiff fines if not registered by Feb. 19, 2016. Interestingly, the AMA (Academic of Model Aeronautics) is recommending to their members, primarily hobbyists, to hold off on registering. In other drone news, 2,672 folks were approved for commercial uses of drones as of mid-December. This approval takes the form of a section 333. Overall… 2015 was a huge year for drones and the emergent regulatory environment.

8. National Geographic Sells Out

In 2015, Fox became a 73% stakeholder in National Geographic Partners. While this was a long time coming for NatGeo due to decreased readership, the layoffs hurt, and the brands’ integrity has been brought into question. There was quite a bit of chatter online when this all happened, and I am curious what the future holds.

7. Mapping Startups Rule 2015: CartoDB, Mapbox, & Mapzen

Mapping based startups made some real strides in 2015. A lot of folks were hired this year and these companies are picking up some serious talent. Other location based companies made great strides in 2015 as well: Waze and Uber all showed the world that there is still room for innovation in Location Based Technologies. Make sure to check out the offerings from CartoDB, Mapbox and Mapzen.

6. Google Kills Some Mapping Solutions

Google Earth Enterprise and Google Maps Engine are shutting down. Esri, CartoDB, and others were quick to partner and announce transition programs for former Google customers. My understanding is that some of these enterprise solutions require a lot of Google employee handholding, and perhaps focusing on API’s makes more sense for Google’s hands-off business model.

5. Obama Signs Funding for a Well Rounded Education, Includes Geography

I’ve long known that geography was an unfunded mandate under No Child Left Behind (interpretation…it’s important, but not important enough to fund it). I dug up this post from 2003 to show it. Long story short, after 12 years, president Obama signs the “Every Student Succeeds Act” which gives some opportunities for funding geography education. The Association for American Geographers (AAG) is optimistic about the inclusion of geography and potential funding opportunities, as outlined here. You can see some of AAG’s work to support Geography Education here.

4. Digital Map Storytelling

It seemed like everywhere I was seeing story maps in 2015. Esri provides some nice tools for story maps, story journals, and ArcGIS Online is making this type of data exploration and storytelling even easier. But, they are not the only platforms around. Map Story continued to make strides in 2015, and a student of mine did a comparison on some of the other platforms for digital map storytelling as well, featuring Storymap JS, Odyssey.JS, Omeka Neatline, and the Esri Story maps. I’m impressed with the new interfaces and ease for building map based story websites that I saw over the last year.

3. New Indexing System(s) for the World’s Locations

In 2015 we saw What3Words emerge as a new way of describing locations in the world. Move over Lat/Long, because 3 random words are here to reference every 3 meter by 3 meter square on earth. In 2015 we started to see w3w integration, and you can browse industry applications examples. While a three word indexing system is an innovation in itself, we also saw the truly universal language of emoji applied to a global reference system as What3Emoji also emerged in 2015.

2. The Promise of Open Source

I’m not sure exactly when it happened, but QGIS hit some sort of tipping point in the last year, and it is becoming a standalone viable a solution as GIS desktop software, and even a useful teaching tool. Here’s a great comparison of ArcGIS and QGIS that was done in November this year. Open source geospatial technology is not new, but in 2015 I saw some great strides in application. Not just in desktop, but in the deployment of maps on the web. A workable geospatial stack can produce beautiful, and functional, web-based mapping solutions. FOSS4G continues to grow and it’s not going away. Look for more growth and more beautiful maps on open platforms in 2016. Mapbox released Mapbox Studio, based on Open Source GIS and featuring some smooth vector based maps. OpenStreetMap volunteers and professionals and the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) came out in a big way to help map after the Nepal Earthquake in 2015. Was 2015 THE year for Open Source Geospatial? Perhaps.

1. The Auto Industry Embraces Geospatial

I’ve been hearing about Google’s Self Driving Cars for years, but it was a little bit of a surprise to see a German auto group consisting of Audi, BMW, and Daimler purchase a geospatial company in 2015. The company is called HERE, and they have roots in Navteq via acquisition by Nokia, and they were purchased for $3.1 billion. The German automakers aren’t the only ones, as Toyota plans their own realtime digital video maps. So who is Google working with? It looks like it’s Ford. And it looks like we may see an Apple self driving car announcement in 2016. Don’t forget that Tesla is creating their own maps as is Uber. As self driving cars and super accurate, realtime, photo and sensor based maps are created of the world’s roads, I wonder what the long term impact on geospatial technology will be?

Did more happen this year in the geospatial space than in other years? I think so. An auto company buys a GIS company, and drones now have to be registered like cars. Cartographic expert Natgeo stumbles as new companies focus on beautifying digital maps. Google kills mapping applications as Obama includes geography in a well rounded education. You can find me in January learning more open source GIS at stability.peanuts.think. 🙂

The Power of Visual Communication (my lesson from the DS106 dailycreate)

Peacock Eating Pizza

A fascinating thing happened to me in this assignment. Perhaps it was a coincidence? Perhaps it was and illustration of the power of images in subliminal marketing…

It all started out as a fairly straightforward task for the #dailycreate from April 5, 2014. Link to original assignment here. Here’s the assignment:

We’re all used to seeing pizzas, but generally only in restaurants and our homes. We may even occasionally see them at pizza farms. But it’s not often that we get to view elusive wild pizzas before they are harvested by hunters. Thankfully, Jonpaul Douglass, a photographer in Los Angeles, gives us a glimpse into this mysterious world through his series Pizza in the Wild. (via Neatorama)

Douglass uses real pizzas, but for this Daily Create, you are welcome to photoshop a pepperoni pizza into an unexpected wild place…

I briefly looked through the images that Douglass posted, and then I went on my way to tackle the assignment.

My process was fairly straightforward. Look through my images, and find one that might be interesting. I thought the Peacock was unique. Use Flickr to find a pizza I could use. I took @cogdog‘s advice and did a Attribution/Noncommercial/Sharealike search on Flickr. Found an image with a nice pizza. (Note: when I download this image, I also grabbed the attribution information on it, such as the license, link to image, and link to Flickr user, and put this in a Word document.) I then had to download GIMP, a free, open source, image editing software from here. I used Youtube to figure out how to trace out the pizza from the one image and add it to the other, which was simple enough with a basic Youtube search to use the Lasso Tool. I then had to do another Youtube search on how to resize the pizza (found that this is accomplished with the Scale tool. Finally, I exported my image to a .png and uploaded it to Flickr.

Now, here is where a fascinating thing comes into play. I finished my assignment, and felt great about. It was unique. I felt good about my new image skills. My product met the goals of the dailycreate.

Now, here is where my bubble burst. I was sharing the Pizza in the Wild website with someone to explain the assignment, and I came across this:

Screen Shot of JonPaul Douglass's website featuring "Pizza in the Wild"

How could this be? I could not remember seeing this image on JonPaul’s website.  I sat there, confused. What had happened?

Reflecting on what had happened, I began to think about  the power of visuals in idea making, and decision making. Is it possible that I had seen this image and subliminally recalled it when I saw my picture of a peacock and it made it seem like a good idea? Can one image impression have this kind of impact on our thinking, and on our decisionmaking?

Then I remembered this video:

This is why advertising works. This is why companies create logos. This is one of the reasons why visual communication is so important in our society. If you can create a visual, and can put it in front of someone, you can influence their preferences and decisionmaking and familiarity. This is why it is so important for students to build their skills working with images, and to understand their impacts, not only on them, but on society. Call it visual literacy, visual communication, marketing, advertising, etc. This aspect of visual influence is something we all need to be aware of. The advertisers are using this on us EVERY DAY.

And I had just used this on MYSELF, unknowingly.

Another #dailycreate, and another lesson in the power of images. Mind blown.

Next February Russia will host the first Olympics in the country’s history. The Winter Olympics in Sochi promise to be remembered as a costly and glorious extravaganza, which will change the image of Russia’s south forever.

Back in 2007, during the International Olympic Committee Session in Guatemala, Russia’s bid was regarded as an over ambitious project which proposed to convert the small subtropical Black Sea resort town of Sochi into the world centre for winter sports.

Regardless of critics’ opinion however Sochi was selected as the Olympics host city defeating bids from Austria and South Korea. The world has been curious ever since: will Russia succeed in building the Olympics in Sochi?

"We won the bid in Guatemala because we believed in our dream and now it is important for us to do the best we can to make the Sochi Olympics the greatest in the history of the Winter Games"

Russian speed skater, Svetlana Zhurova

Russian speed skater and Olympic champion Svetlana Zhurova says not only will Sochi be ready on time but it will present the greatest winter Olympics in history.

In an exclusive interview to Al Jazeera she said: "We won the bid in Guatemala because we believed in our dream and now it is important for us to do the best we can to make the Sochi Olympics the greatest in the history of the Winter Games."

"Even though it is a year before the Games begin, construction works for all the venues have been completed. We did it, not because we wanted to show the world how great we are, but because it is the only possible way for our country, taking into account the famous Russian mentality and tendency to leave things until the last moment.

"This way we have time to test all the competition sites and make sure that we are ready for the Games”.

Sochi is a subtropical summer resort town between the Black Sea and the Caucasus Mountains with average temperature in winter between 5-7 °C. It has never been known as a resort-haven for winter sports.

This is why the Russian Olympic organising committee had to build everything completely from scratch, doing the almost impossible by converting a summer resort into a winter paradise.

More than a dozen venues in separate coastal and mountain complexes with over 367 km of roads, 200 km of railways and 170 km of gas pipelines had to be built in the small town and to transform summer into winter Sochi also stored 450,000 cubic meters of snow to ensure a white Olympics next year.

It is the largest construction project in Europe, completion of which, according to the Sochi organising committee has gone extremely well.

Sochi 2014 President and CEO Dmitry Chernyshenko told Al Jazeera: "What makes me most proud is that we’ve worked hard and met every challenge thrown at us. This gives me full confidence that we will deliver wonderful Games next year."

"We have nearly completed our international test event programme and we’re setting more tests than any other Games. With our venues built and thoroughly tested through international competition, Sochi 2014 can fully focus on the final step – the staging of memorable and inspirational Games."

Corruption claims

With all that success however there is something that could destroy the dream of a perfect Olympics forever - widespread corruption.

The opponents of the Sochi bid have predicted: Russia will not be able to host a well-organised Olympic Games because the funds allocated to Sochi 2014 will come to rest in the pockets of corrupt Russian officials. Fighting corruption has turned out to be an impossible task.

Before the Games have even begun a price tag has already set an Olympic record. The Sochi Winter Olympics will cost Russia over $50 billion, more than twice as expensive as the London 2012 Games.

Russian politician and former vice-premier Boris Nemtsov was born in Sochi. He alleges money has been wasted.

"The cost of the Sochi Olympics is beyond imagination: it’s 4.2 times more expensive than was planned. I’ve done research and the results are really shocking. The cost of the Sochi Olympics is $50 billion so far, $30 billion of which wasn’t used to build anything related to the Games but simply gone to someone else’s pocket, basically stolen," Nemtsov told Al Jazeera.

"It’s shameful, disturbing and causes a feeling of hatred for the people who are involved in making the Sochi Games ugly.”

The worry is that the Games of 2014 could be a major disappointment not only to politicians but to some of Russia’s well known athletes.

Olympic champion and four times World figure skating Champion Alexei Yagudin thinks that Sochi is far from being a perfect Olympic city one year before the Games. On Twitter he wrote: “Sochi is a rubbish dump and rude! This is where they are holding the Olympics? There are some good points of course but too few!”

Giving a prognosis on Sochi 2014 Olympics the champion skater said: “I am confident that Russia will hold a wonderful Olympics which will be long remembered by everybody. But I just wish people could appreciate more what a fantastic chance is given to our country to show the world our very best."

Daniel, who has supported the Cup of Excellence program both as a judge and a buyer is excited to take the helm.  “It is with great honor that I assume the role of Executive Director for the Alliance for Coffee Excellence. Since my first experience as an International Judge in Honduras in 2005, Cup of Excellence has had a special place in my heart and coffee career. I am overjoyed to be able to lead and guide this wonderful organization’s future as we move towards expanding the original 1999 vision.”

Costa Rica's best coffee was grown by a newbie farmer

LOURDES DE CIRRÍ, Alajuela — It looked like rain when Francisco Mena got into his truck with one of his two daughters, 12-year-old Alessia, to go look for a coffee roaster from the U.S. and his family who were visiting Finca Sumava.

The sudden rush of clouds brought a chill to the coffee farm, which is draped over the steep hills of Lourdes de Cirrí, Naranjo, some 50 kilometers northwest of San José. Even as the clouds rolled in, Poás Volcano was still visible in the distance. Read more >

Quantifying the Impact of the Cup of Excellence

Roast Magazine | September/October 2015

After 15 years and more than 100 contests, the Cup of Excellence (COE) specialty coffee competition has had a sweeping impact that reaches beyond the producer participants to fuel economic growth and develop the specialty coffee industry in host countries. A recent study by TechnoServe, a global nonprofit that creates business solutions to address poverty, surveyed the impact COE has had on two partner countries—Brazil and Honduras. The study found that COE has created an immense value for both countries: $137 million in Brazil and $25 million in Honduras in total benefits, including benefits related to auction sales, increased direct trade and boosted specialty coffee trade.

We Invented the Remix

  • AllMusic Rating
  • User Ratings (0)
  • Your Rating

AllMusic Review by

Sean "P. Diddy" Combs isn't your standard remixer. He doesn't just alter the beats of his songs; he re-writes his songs -- new beats, new vocalists, new lyrics, new everything. Of course, Combs doesn't actually do this himself. Rather, he outsources the work to his roster of producers (the Hit Men) and some of the biggest names in urban music. So, even if you question Combs' artistry, it's difficult to question his hitmaking ability. Money doesn't seem to be an issue for Combs. He wants to make hit songs, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to do so, whether that means bringing in superstars like Usher or hiring sure-fire producers like Irv Gotti. And he indeed offers many songs on We Invented the Remix that are chart-topping quality, in particular the two versions of "I Need a Girl" and the Ashanti/Notorious B.I.G. duet "Unfoolish." In fact, in many ways, We Invented the Remix is better than Combs' previous album, The Saga Continues. Most every song here was -- or became -- a hit, and the abundance of guests spare you We Invented the Remix's weakest characteristic, Combs himself. He seems much more reserved here than he had on The Saga Continues, and since this album is of a modest length at only 12 songs, there isn't much space for filler. As a result, We Invented the Remix confirms Combs' return to the top of the urban music world after a few years of struggle.
