"It could be the children from upstairs."
In the summer, we tell ghost stories.
Whether it be the proliferation of campfires, the long days that provide a buffer against the terrors of the night, or the strange sleepy-wakefulness that marks summer afternoons, there is something about the warmer months of the year that encourages a curiosity in the supernatural.
And so it was, on a soporific Sunday afternoon at the old Grange Hall in Three Mile Bay, that a small group of residents and visitors gathered to share their ghostly encounters under the guidance of Lyme town historian Julie E. Gosier.
A woman named Mary shared a story.
Shortly after her mother died, Mary went with her brother to make burial arrangements at a funeral home in Chaumont. While discussing details with the undertaker, she noticed a small child peering around the corner of the parlor and playing peekaboo with her.
She didn't think anything of it at first, figuring that it was the daughter of the man who ran the funeral home.
But when she commented on it to the undertaker, he simply said, "No."
"It could be the children from upstairs," he said.
Mary did not think too much about it at the time, her mind consumed with the more mundane details of complying with her mother's final wishes, but, upon further reflection, she realized how strange the entire episode had been.
What did she really see? Why would children be living above a funeral home? Why was the undertaker's reaction so nonchalant?
Now, every time she drives by the funeral home, she looks at the heavy curtains in the window and wonders, "Who are the children from upstairs?"
There is a technique to telling a ghost story, and whether the art informs the content or the content the art, most people adopt a standard approach when discussing unnatural occurrences.
They drop their voice a few octaves and speak just above a whisper. Eerie pauses are inserted, seemingly at random, as they try to remember the details of the story.
As the listeners lean in close, they are sometimes, in the best of tellings, gently lulled into a half sleep — a realm where logic slips away and dreams and reality exist together.
And if the story is told well, it will leave the audience with chills.
Some more refined stories, those that have been passed through the wine press of popular culture, will end with a resounding "boo" or some other exclamation, leaving the listeners startled.
But the best stories end quietly, disturbingly.
I've heard many ghost stories in my day (ghost stories, it should be pointed out, are different from scary stories, in that the former involve beings from beyond the grave while the latter involve experiences beyond the pale), but the best came from Mike Hall, a youth group director I know.
Mike has the perfect tone for telling ghost stories. It falls somewhere between sincere and skeptical, with a slightly arched eyebrow that makes you wonder whether he's telling the truth or just shining you on. Somehow, however, his style made the stories all the more convincing.
When I first came to know him, Mike was involved with the Diocese of Wheeling-Charleston, the only Catholic diocese in West Virginia. He traveled throughout the state organizing events and often stayed overnight in buildings owned by the church. These overnight stays informed most of his stories, and rightfully so.
Churches and church buildings, for that matter, are like funeral parlors in that they encourage the contemplation of the unexplained. In these places, we consider what happens beyond the physical realm.
I'm not sure I believe in ghosts, but I do believe in ghost stories. And I've been in places, like my grandparents' house the night we moved their furniture after they passed away, where I've felt ... unsettled.
I think we take our ghost stories in the summer to relieve our chills with the balm and the warmth of the sun.
Cold to revive the soul, hot to relax it away.

As an inducement from the very beginning, AMEX has offered their cardholders a $25 statement credit if they spent at least that much at a participating store. In 2013, they dropped the rebate to a mere $10, but made up for it last year by offering three $10 credits if one shopped at three different stores.
That was then, and this is now. For 2015, the company quietly dropped a bombshell on bargain hunters. Buried in a set of frequently asked questions, was the news.
No statement credits this year.
It was great while it lasted, but it had to have cost the company millions and millions of dollars. It was one of the most generous promotions that any cardholder could take advantage of once a year, and it will be missed.]]>
Many shoppers buy relatively inexpensive unadorned tee shirts at Michael's and A.C. Moore, two very large crafting chains. During a recent sale, MrConsumer picked up several at both stores. Depending on the color (apparently) some shirts had a primary label on the top inside just under the collar that said "Heavy Cotton" while others said "Ultra Cotton."
One might say "great" these are all cotton tee shirts and look no further. But, lifting the brand label to expose the washing instructions and fiber content of three different "Heavy Cotton" colored tee shirts revealed an unexpected surprise:
Even though each shirt had the same "Heavy Cotton" label, the actual fiber content varied from 50-50 cotton/polyester to 90-10 to 100% cotton. There was no rhyme or reason to what "Heavy Cotton" meant in any particular case. The shirts also had a cellophane sticker on them with the words "preshrunk cotton."
A similar problem was discovered with shirts labeled "Ultra Cotton" :
Again, depending on which color shirt you picked up, those labeled "Ultra Cotton" were either 50-50 cotton/polyester, 90-10, or 100% cotton.
The concern is several-fold: shoppers seeing the terms "Heavy Cotton" and "Ultra Cotton" could easily believe these shirts are all cotton. For the more inquisitive shopper who happened to pick up a shirt marked "Ultra Cotton" and noted that it was 100% cotton, that person might reasonably conclude that other shirts marked "Ultra Cotton" were 100% as well.
Mouse Print* asked the manufacturer, Gildan, some very pointed questions about their labeling practices, such as why shirts labeled with a particular name like "Heavy Cotton" or "Ultra Cotton" were not consistent in their fiber content, and did they understand how those labels could mislead shoppers. We also asked how the company's labeling practices square with federal law that prohibits misleading fiber content labels, and how they square with their own code of ethics that says that the company "will not make false or unsubstantiated representations about the quality or value of our products and services."
Their Director of Corporate Communications replied, in relevant part:
Gildan is committed to compliance with all regulatory requirements, including the detailed requirements of the many countries where our products are sold. Gildan is also committed to its customers' satisfaction.
The Heavy Cotton and Ultra Cotton® names are sub-brand names we use to differentiate between collections within two distinct categories of products.
Our labels display clearly all information required to allow consumers to make an informed purchase decision, including fiber content, country of origin, size, care and wash instructions.
Spin aside, the company is capable of playing it straight as evidenced by this "Heavy Blend" label found on one of their sweatshirts, but for whatever reason they don't use it on these tee shirts.
The lesson here, as in so many other consumer contexts, is "don't assume" that what you see is what you'll actually get without more detailed checking and double-checking.]]>
This means you are basically paying $180 a year to have the latest iPhone. For people who always must have the latest phone, this could be quite the deal … except for the fine print.
Besides learning that this is a 22-month lease and that you are responsible for [edited] insurance, what may have looked like a given to some — that you would only pay $15 a month and get annual upgrades forever — that monthly charge is only guaranteed for the first phone. What is not stated here in the headline, but also required, is that you trade in a smartphone when you first sign up for the plan.
According to a Sprint telephone representative, one year from now if you want to trade up to the iPhone 7, you must trade in the iPhone 6S, sign a new 22 month lease, and make monthly payments of the then current rate. She said you will owe nothing on the remaining 10 months of the original lease.
Like "unlimited," "forever" means whatever the cell companies choose to define it as.]]>
For example, collision damage waiver, and half a dozen other travel and purchase benefits including 2-5% back in points at Sears and Kmart will be removed from the Sears platinum MasterCard issued by Citi as of October 1. Bank of America is eliminating five benefits on its Better Balance Rewards MasterCards as of November 1. And Discover, as of last month, removed from its cards benefits for lost or delayed luggage, travel insurance, and emergency roadside service. (See chart below.)
"Credit card issuers have used a host of benefits to attract customers to their cards, but now they are quietly removing many of them," explained Consumer World founder Edgar Dworsky. "Some customers may be in for quite a surprise when they go to use one of these benefits but only then discover that it no longer exists."
Most of the MasterCard changes were made by the card company itself last year for their standard, gold, and platinum cards, but the cuts are only being implemented now by some individual banks. MasterCard says it evaluated which benefits cardholders preferred and actually put to use for everyday transactions in deciding what set of core benefits to offer and which to drop. For these basic cards, the new core benefits funded by MasterCard only include Extended Warranty, Price Protection, Identify Theft Resolution, and lost card services. Individual banks can supplement the core benefits with other perks, or even buy back deleted ones.
A Visa spokesperson said it had no plans to reduce benefits on its cards. AMEX did not respond to inquiries.
At the same time that they are reducing benefits, some of the card issuers say they are adding or improving some perks. For example, FIA Card Services, a unit of Bank of America that issues credit cards for Fidelity Investments, is expanding its "extended warranty" benefit on certain cards. Starting in November, it will double a manufacturer's warranty up to two additional years (up from one year) for warranties of 24 months or less.
Sears MasterCard claims that as of October 1 it is improving "Extended Warranty" and "Price Protection" on its platinum cards, but PR representatives at neither MasterCard nor Citi could provide any details of the enhancements.
Before making a critical purchase, cardholders are urged to check with their card issuer to ensure that a particular benefit traditionally associated with their card is still in effect. For example, don't assume you still have automatic collision damage waiver protection when renting a car, counseled Consumer World.
Upper tier cards like World MasterCard, World Elite MasterCard, and Visa Signature tend to offer more benefits than basic cards. Many of the eliminated benefits are still available on them and on many basic cards that have opted not to adopt the changes (yet).]]>
So how is it that online at sites like Instagram, where candidates sometimes post these same ads, that the familiar disclaimers are often missing? See for example:
Click Video to Start and STOP it.
The answer can be found in the rules of the Federal Election Commission.
The law requires:
Title 11 – Federal Elections § 110.11 Communications; advertising; disclaimers (2 U.S.C 441d).
(a) Scope. The following communications must include disclaimers, as specified in this section:
(2) All public communications, as defined in 11 CFR 100.26, by any person that expressly advocate the election or defeat of a clearly identified candidate.
However, the definition of "public communications" has an exception:
General public political advertising does not include Internet ads, except for communications placed for a fee on another person's web site.
So, since Instagram for example does not charge people who post pictures and short videos on its website, any ads that appear there fall outside the requirement of having a disclaimer.]]>

The next few days passed slowly as Mary and Bert did their best to bring some sort of normalcy back to the Bank household. Mrs. Banks began eating lunch with them, but retiring after tea and taking a light supper in her room. The children ventured outside, but did not make any effort do anything. Both Mary and Bert decided it was all a start. Mary and Jane began to spend the day shopping and stitching together. Bert and Michael often went on walks. They let Mrs. Banks do what she wanted when she wanted, no one invading her grief.
The week was coming to an end. It would soon be time for her to go. No one was happy about it, but everyone understood.
Sunday evening, they were sitting on the porch before Bert went home. The children were in bed, Mrs. Banks was in her room reading and Mrs. Brill had gone.
"Mary, do ya think ya should be leavin' us again?" he asked quietly, breaking the silence.
She looked up from her knitting. "I have no choice, Bert," she sighed. "And like it or not, they are going to have to find a way to move on... with or without me."
"Do I have to find a way to go on without you, too?" he asked, bowing his head.
She closed her eyes for a second before reaching out, cupping his chin in her hand, lifting his head and meeting his eyes. "No, of course not. I'll never leave you. And you will never leave me," she assured him, smiling softly and lightly.
"How'd ya figure that? Yer leavin' again, ain't ya?"
"Bert, when you... love someone, they are always with you... In your heart." She had finally said the words. She loved him. His dark eyes began to shine. That made her smile even more watching him comprehend the meaning of what she had spoken. "Just like if... when... someone you love dies, they are still alive inside you."
They leaned their foreheads together and closed their eyes. "I like that idea, Mary... I'm glad we learned that before it was too late, eh?" Bert chuckled lightly and softly. Mary nodded.
"In time the Banks' will learn that, too," she replied.

I have been working at FinancialForce.com full-time (Less than a year)
The work culture is so collaborative. I like working with my entire team. The product is fresh and innovative.
As a start-up company there are some repeatable processes that need to be put in place. Compensation packages are not competitive to comparable markets, but hope this changes as the company grows making sure to increase existing employee salaries.
Advice to Management
Put in place some processes that will grow as the company grows; spend a bit of time/money as upfront overhead costs to increase time management and productivity in the future. Do a market analysis for compensation packages to increase employees base and bonus structures to be at or above the competition. This is especially true for the Implementation Consultants and Customer Success Managers. These positions are underpaid and while the team seems satisfied there is likely going to be some high turnover when other companies come calling.

SXSW Tuesday: How Many Hours Does It Take to Become Jaded?
photos by Colin Kerrigan
"This is our first-ever day in Austin," Ellen Kempner of the New York-based band Palehound announced last night to a respectably sized crowd at a tiny, self-proclaimed "steampunk lounge" called Metal and Lace. "This is also the first time we've ever played two shows in one day!" This late into the life cycle of SXSW, when each March brings a chorus of people blaming some brand or high-profile pop star for its supposed death (this year it seems to be Doritos and Lady Gaga, respectably) I found Kempner's newbie enthusiasm charmingly refreshing—and relatable. It's my first year here too.
And I was still feeling unabashedly psyched about it all—breakfast tacos for dinner! a badge that will get me in to see as much live music as I can stand!—as I watched Palehound's scrappy, melodic set early last night. The young Kempner is a friend of Speedy Ortiz frontwoman Sadie Dupuis, and she seems to be following a similar trajectory: Make some awesome and eccentric bedroom recordings on your own (for Kempner, this was last year's EP Bent Nail), and eventually find a full band to amplify the scope of your distortion-driven freak-outs. Like Speedy, it was evident last night that Palehound love the 90s (Kempner was sporting an enviable scrunchie on her wrist): Bent Nail highlight "Psychospeak", shambled like early Belly; the wooly "Drooler" recalled Kim Deal's droll wit. Even amidst easy to spot influences, though, Kempner's own particularly off-kilter melodic sensibility shines through. Which means it's good news that Palehound's set was so full of new material. "This song doesn't really have a name yet," Kempner said at one point. "So let me know if you have any suggestions."
Palehound's show was a bright start to what I naively thought would be a long night of music. "Wide-eyed new bands connecting with people!" I was actually thinking as I skipped to the next venue. "This is what's SXSW is all about!" Now, a few hours later, I cannot believe I was ever so young. After Palehound, I stood in line for about an hour for the Def Jam 20th anniversary party, which featured 2 Chainz, Pusha T, Method Man and Redman and was billed as SXSW Tech Week's closing night event. Shortly after I got in line, they split the crowd up between Interactive Badges and Music Badges, which made me feel hopeful, since the Music line was much shorter. Then they proceeded to let most of the Interactive Line (in which, #TechBros, I counted 35 men before I saw a single woman) in. When it became clear that the venue was at capacity and Music line wasn't going to budge, I let go my dreams of hearing "Feds Watching" that night and decided to line up (what I thought was) absurdly early for Chance the Rapper's 1 a.m. set at Red 7 Patio.
The line outside Chance the Rapper's impossible-to-get-into-show at Red 7 Patio
When I got in line a little after 11, I chatted with a friendly UT student named Colin, who has been volunteering with the festival since 2012 and said that although it was only Tuesday and the music festival of the portion technically hadn't even started yet, he could already tell this year was going to be "the worst ever." He had spent a staggering 60 hours volunteering for the festival since it started last week—and he hadn't seen a single note of live music yet on his one night off, because he hadn't found a single show he could get into. And as an hour and then two ticked by, it became clear his fate wasn't going to change, because—badges or no badges—we weren't getting into Chance either. When I told security I was there with my photographer to cover the show, they repeatedly told me there was no press list ("We even turned away the New York Times!"), while they continued to let in people who flashed their exorbitantly expensive "SXXpress Passes". Our photographer tried his luck around another door, where I had the uncanny and instantly disillusioning experience of learning that security was now bragging to other journalists about having turned me away. "We didn't even let in that girl from Pitchfork!" one of them said.
So let's break down SXSW Day 1. The ratio of time I spent standing in lines for shows I didn't end up getting into to time I spent actually seeing live music: 5:1. The loudest applause I have heard so far at the festival was in the Chance line, where we were so starved for entertainment that everyone cheered uproariously when a feral cat leapt over a tall wall. Volunteers are overworked and underrewarded; overpaid tech dudes essentially pay their way into shows, and the fact that even press are turned away make these higher-profile shows feel even more elitist—if you were turned away from one of these shows last night, good luck even reading about it the next morning. "So this is what SXSW is all about," I thought as I headed back for the night.
Prove me wrong, Day 2.

never really liked to read, movies any movie has the potential of being good I like to many to list, I've never really stuck to one genre, n food all food can taste good just had to be made right, I like alot and to many word to fit unfortunately, so thats why if you wanna k ow ask me (:
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
Maybe coffee/quit drinking it for awhile
My pain
And the knowledge and memories from my past
Maybe coffee/quit drinking it for awhile
My pain
And the knowledge and memories from my past
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
everything and anything where i'm going in life what i'm gonna make of my self what i already have, typical emotions and my beautiful baby girls who i'd give everything for and how they will be when they are older
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
umm usually out with friends having a good time or at home with the ppl who matter most in my life....or being bored doing nothing so alot of times put the tunes on and go for a board ride Or watching a movie.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I have randomly signd up for a few diff sites to talk to random ppl cuz im kinda shy and enjoy random conversation...but i do toke, no joke only weed im against drugs for the most part realistically just the ones on the streets....and the lack of common sence in most ppl pisses me off... also i choose to not care how i spell as long as its understandable. but realistically get to know me n ask me anything im fairly open and blunt about my life

The end of transplant waiting lists? Researchers reveal 'giant leap' in printing replacement organs - and say they could soon be created on demand in hospitals
- Researchers can print vascular system inside organs to pass blood through them
- Could allow damaged organs to simply be 3d printed in hospital and implanted
Researchers claim to have made a 'giant leap' towards creating 3D organs that could be simply printed out in hospitals when needed for a transplant.
An international team have created the first organs that include a full vascular network for transporting blood through organs.
They say it could even allows organs damaged by cancer to simply replaced.
Scroll down for video
The vascular system inside an organ, picture here, can now be printed inside an artificial organ allowing blood to flow through it
Using a high-tech 'bio-printer', the researchers fabricated a multitude of interconnected tiny fibres to serve as the mold for the artificial blood vessels.
They then covered the 3D printed structure with a cell-rich protein-based material, which was solidified by applying light to it.
Lastly they removed the bio-printed fibres to leave behind a network of tiny channels coated with human endothelial cells, which self organised to form stable blood capillaries in less than a week.
The study reveals that the bioprinted vascular networks promoted significantly better cell survival, differentiation and proliferation compared to cells that received no nutrient supply.
Scientists from the Universities of Sydney, Harvard, Stanford and MIT have now bio-printed artificial vascular networks mimicking the body's circulatory system that are necessary for growing large complex tissues.
'Thousands of people die each year due to a lack of organs for transplantation," says study lead author and University of Sydney researcher, Dr Luiz Bertassoni.
'Many more are subjected to the surgical removal of tissues and organs due to cancer, or they're involved in accidents with large fractures and injuries.
'Imagine being able to walk into a hospital and have a full organ printed – or bio-printed, as we call it – with all the cells, proteins and blood vessels in the right place, simply by pushing the 'print' button in your computer screen.
'We are still far away from that, but our research is addressing exactly that.
'Our finding is an important new step towards achieving these goals.
'At the moment, we are pretty much printing 'prototypes' that, as we improve, will eventually be used to change the way we treat patients worldwide.'
Cells need ready access to nutrients, oxygen and an effective 'waste disposal' system to sustain life. This is why 'vascularisation' – a functional transportation system – is central to the engineering of biological tissues and organs.
The team's 3D printer in action, gradually building up blood vessels layer by layer
A network of blood vessels created by the team
'One of the greatest challenges to the engineering of large tissues and organs is growing a network of blood vessels and capillaries,' says Dr Bertassoni.
'Cells die without an adequate blood supply because blood supplies oxygen that's necessary for cells to grow and perform a range of functions in the body.
'To illustrate the scale and complexity of the bio-engineering challenge we face, consider that every cell in the body is just a hair's width from a supply of oxygenated blood.
'Replicating the complexity of these networks has been a stumbling block preventing tissue engineering from becoming a real world clinical application.'
According to Dr Bertassoni, a major benefit of the new bio-printing technique is the ability to fabricate large three-dimensional micro-vascular channels capable of supporting life on the fly, with enough precision to match individual patients' needs.
'While recreating little parts of tissues in the lab is something that we have already been able to do, the possibility of printing three-dimensional tissues with functional blood capillaries in the blink of an eye is a game changer,' he says.
'Of course, simplified regenerative materials have long been available, but true regeneration of complex and functional organs is what doctors really want and patients really need, and this is the objective of our work.'

I was a little disappointed with the room we had even though we had a "gold" room. You could hear guest closing their doors pretty easily. The food for breakfast was OK but nothing real great. The fireplace had an ashy smell to it. Many old pieces of furniture and the Beaumont had a neat history. In the windows you could see how the ladies would use their diamond rings to cut into the glass, I saw one date of 1880 on the window. The air conditioner ran 100% of the time we were there. You had a long stick to turn the vent all the way off or all the way on, to regulate the temperture. There wasn't much to do in the city of Harrodsburg. We did fine a great old time drug store that severed some great ice cream, I had the ice cream soda which was awesome. I guess I was a disappointed with our experience, my wife and I have been to better B & B, I'm glad we went but we won't be going back. We also found a good steak house on the bypass. On a one to ten basis both my wife and I rated it a 5.
Innkeeper ResponseWe are so sorry you were disappointed in your stay. I will be sure to check on the ashy smell in the room. Unfortunately, the age of the building, 1845, limits us in air conditioning controls for each room. I am glad you enjoyed the Kentucky Fudge Factory in the restored Dedman Drugstore and Eddie's Steakhouse.

The Beaumont Inn is a wonderful place to stay; the rooms are nice, the grounds are beautiful, and the pub is good. This is a great place to stay as a base to explore this beautiful part of Kentucky.
Innkeeper ResponseWe are so glad you enjoyed your visit. We hope you will come again sometime in the future! Thank you for taking time to write this review.
on February 20, 2010
While it has been a while since we stayed at the Beaumont, I feel I must share our delightful experience at the inn. All amenities were spectacular. Thinking of the delicious food, the historic atmophere, the beautiful grounds and the hospitable owners and staff, make me want to return to the Beaumont as soon as the threat of ice and snow subsides. My husband and I have stayed at numerous bed and breakfasts and our experience at the Beaumont surpasses them all. I highly recommend the Beaumont for anyone who wishes a relaxing experience with no surprises. What a treat! Also, due to circumstances related to Hurricane Katrina we had to cancel our first reservation only one day before our scheduled arrival. The owner was understanding and gracious, not charging a penalty for our last minute cancelation. Because of that response, I knew our future stay would be memorable. I was correct!
Innkeeper ResponseThank you so much for your great review! We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay and hope you will be back again this Spring. Please check our webiste for specials and "Chuck's blog."
on January 03, 2010
We stayed 2 nights at the Beaumont Inn. Room 33's bathroom was a nice size and the beds were very comfortable. We very much enjoyed the building and grounds, the old working elevator, breakfast in the dining room and dinner in the Old Owl's Nest - I recommend the Hot Brown! Quiet, comfortable, friendly and high speed internet. You can't beat it, less expensive than other B&Bs around and worth more than they charge. VERY happy. I will always remember the place.
Innkeeper ResponseThank you so much for your wonderful review! We do hope you will be able to visit with us again. I apologize for not writing sooner, but I hadn't checked this site lately, oops. (Will not make that mistake again.) We are starting a blog on the website so if you have time, please check it for updates. (It is Chuck's new job.)
Thanks again,

We have been to the Beaumont several times and always feel like we're visiting relatives. The Dedman's always make us feel so welcome, the rooms are wonderful, food excellent and the grounds are lovely. We love it there and hope to get back soon!
Innkeeper ResponseThank you for your wonderful review. Please forgive my tardiness in responding; I need to get in the habit of checking the site, new year's resolution.
We hope to see you again in 2010. Please check Chuck's blog on website for updates.
Thanks again,

I highly recommend the Beaumont. The food was excellent, the grounds were beautiful, and all for a very reasonable price. My other option was at a hotel for $25 MORE. I can't say enough about this place. You won't be disappointed.
Try the Bourbon sampler. A deal for the top shelf your able to select.
Innkeeper ResponseYes, this thank you is over a year old, but I am just getting into the "review thing." Thank you for the review and we hope you will be able to visit us again in 2010--Dixon is always adding bourbons to the selection.

Daily weather generator
Hydrologic modelling
SWAT model
a b s t r a c t
Most hydrologic models require daily weather data to run. While this information may be
abundant in some parts of the world, in most parts such data is not available on daily basis.
Distributed hydrologic models are particularly adversely affected by the lack of daily data
or the existence of very inaccurate data as they impart large uncertainties to the model pre-
diction. In this study we developed a daily weather generator algorithm (dGen) that uses the
currently available 0.5◦monthly weather statistics from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU).
We tested dGen in two ways. First, we made a direct comparison of the measured and gen-
erated precipitation and maximum–minimum temperatures by looking at some long-term
statistics in a few stations in West Africa. Second, we ran the model "Soil and Water Assess-
ment Tool" (SWAT) with dGen-generated and measured daily weather data to simulate 25
years of annual and monthly river discharges at some gauging stations. The simulated river
discharges were then compared with the measured ones. It was seen that using the dGen-
simulated daily weather data resulted in a much better match with the measured discharge
data than the measured daily weather data in combination with the SWAT internal weather
generator WXGEN. WXGEN is used in SWAT to fill missing data using monthly statistics,
which must be calculated from the existing daily data. For annual and monthly hydrologi-
cal simulations, dGen-generated daily rainfall and temperature data appears to have a high
degree of reliability.

Many large-scale ecological and hydrological models require
daily weather data, but such data are not directly available for
all parts of the world. Currently there is daily weather infor-
mation available for some 40,000 stations across the world
(National Climatic Data Centre, NCDC, 1994, 2002). The dis-
tribution of these data, however, is quite uneven leaving large
parts of the world with very few stations. Furthermore, the
quality of the daily data is not always very reliable and there
are often large amounts of missing data. For this reason
watershed-scale models such as the "Soil and Water Assess-

ment Tool" (SWAT) (Arnold et al., 1998) have developed their
own weather generator (WXGEN) (Sharpley and Williams,
1990) that uses monthly statistics to fill the missing data. But
these monthly statistics must first be calculated based on the
with no daily data.
The WXGEN model is developed for the contiguous US, and
is included in the SWAT program. The model defines the wet
days based on a first-order Markov chain model, which means
that it takes the wet or dry status of the previous day into
account. The amount of precipitation is then generated using
either a skewed distribution with three parameters (Nicks,
Page 2
ecological modelling 2 0 1 ( 2 0 0 7 ) 301–311
1974) or a one-parameter exponential distribution. Air tem-
uous multivariate stochastic process (Hayhoe, 1998). Serially
correlated and cross-correlated normally distributed residu-
als for maximum temperature, minimum temperature and
solar radiation are required for the calculation of daily val-
ues (Richardson, 1981, Richardson and Wright, 1984). These
correlation coefficients were once determined for 31 stations
in the US (Richardson, 1982) and then kept constant for appli-
cation to all locations. While the minimum temperature does
not depend on the wet or dry status of the day, the influence of
wet/dry days is incorporated into the generation of the maxi-
mum temperature and the solar radiation.
Apart from the SWAT weather generator, there exist many
other generators using somewhat different procedures and
having different strengths and weaknesses. They can be
used to simulate all missing data before the weather data is
inputted into the SWAT model, avoiding the use of the SWAT
weather generator. WGEN (Richardson and Wright, 1984) is
another program that uses the same temperature and radi-
ation generator as in WXGEN, but the precipitation compo-
nent is a first-order Markov chain-Gamma distribution model
stant distribution parameters. Many existing generators are

Richardson, 1998; Taulis and Milke, 2005). LARS-WG (Semenov
tions for weather generation requiring also more parameters.
The differences between LARS-WG and WGEN are presented
in Semenov et al. (1998).
The generators described above have one thing in com-
mon: they need daily measured values in order to calcu-
late the monthly statistics, which will then be used to gen-
erate the missing daily data. The precipitation generator
SIMMETEO (Geng et al., 1986) also uses the Markov first-
but for the parameter estimation it is sufficient to provide
monthly summaries instead of daily values. Regression equa-
tions using monthly climatic means and the number of wet
days are used to determine the transitional probabilities of
wet day following a wet day, and wet day following a dry day,
as well as the two parameters of the Gamma precipitation
WeatherMan (Pickering et al., 1994), a tool for manag-
ing and generating daily weather data, includes both SIM-
METEO and WGEN. A statistical comparison of these two
stochastic weather generators for stations in Iran (Soltani
and Hoogenboom, 2003) showed that SIMMETEO provides,
despite the less detailed input, a similar performance. A fur-
ther comparison by Hartkamp et al. (2003) emphasized the
use of generated weather data for crop modelling in subtropi-
cal environments. This study included the weather generator
MarkSim (Jones and Thornton, 2000) as well as WGEN and
SIMMETEO. MarkSim uses a third-order Markov process in
order to define wet days and obtains the parameters from
climate clusters that have been fitted to data from more
than 9200 stations all over the world. Considering the data
requirements, Hartkamp et al. (2003) recommend the use of
Valuable general reviews on weather generators are pub-

The current study is part of a larger project to estimate the
freshwater availability in Africa. Our ultimate goal is, there-
fore, to perform a monthly water balance using SWAT, which
requires daily weather data. As the existing daily weather
generators are not directly applicable to our case as we lack
taneously generate values for many stations, we developed
our own weather generator. The objective of this paper is to
fall, and maximum and minimum temperature using data
from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU), which provides com-
plete global 0.5◦climate grids for the time-period 1901–1995.
This data set contains, among others, monthly values of pre-
cipitation, minimum and maximum temperature (CRU TS 2.0,
Mitchell et al., 2004), and the number of wet days per month
(CRU TS 1.0, New et al., 2000). To test the model, henceforth
referred to as dGen-CRU, we compared the generated daily
data to those measured at several climatic stations, and also
used the data to generate river discharges using SWAT. The
simulated river discharges were then compared with the mea-
sured ones.
2. Methods
2.1.The weather generator model dGen-CRU
As mentioned before, the CRU database provides monthly val-
ues for total precipitation, average minimum and maximum
temperatures, and the number of wet days per month for
each 0.5◦grid. The grids of the primary variables precipita-
tion and temperature are solely based on measured values
using an anomalies interpolation technique. Synthetic data
estimated from the primary grids were used in addition to
station observations to construct the grids of the secondary
variables, like the wet-day frequency (New et al., 2000). While
and Matsuura, 2001), the CRU dataset provides besides the
high spatial resolution and long temporal coverage the most
comprehensive compilation of surface climate variables (New
et al., 2000). Because of this it is used in many global studies
(e.g. D¨ oll et al., 2003)
In order to make use of the CRU climate grids in SWAT
applications that require station data as weather input, it is
first necessary to overlay the climate grids with a SWAT sub-
basins shape-file and then to aggregate the values to obtain
one value per month for each subbasin. We developed a
semi-automated program within ArcGIS (version 9.1) to per-
form the overlay and the creation of the subbasin averages
of monthly precipitation, minimum and maximum temper-
ature as well as the number of wet days per month. Basi-
cally, this program is made up of the creation of Thiessen
polygons around each point representing the centre of a grid
cell, the overlay and intersection of the subbasin layer with
the climate grids, and finally the computation of the area-
weighted average which is then assigned to each subbasin

Fig. 1 – Flowchart of the daily weather generator dGen algorithm.
To parameterize dGen-CRU, the rainfall parameters "aver-
age rainfall per wet day",¯Rw, and "probability of a wet day",
P(w), were directly calculated for each subbasin based on the
available monthly values:
where Rmis the total rainfall in a month, Wmthe number of
Fig. 1 shows the flowchart of the dGen-CRU algorithm.
A wet day was determined by using the popular two-
state first order Markov chain. Analyzing seven stations with
diverse climates (from below 200mm rain per year to over
2000mm rain per year and from 34 rainy days per year to 187
rainy days) Geng et al. (1986) showed that the monthly tran-
sitional probabilities for a wet day following a dry day, P(w|d),
can be linearly related to P(w)and the intercept is not signifi-
cantly different from zero. Based on this, also the transitional
probabilities for a wet day following a wet day, P(w|w), can be
P(w|d)= 0.75P(w)
P(w|w)= 0.25 + P(w|d)
In case of a wet day, the rainfall amount (R) was computed
with a two-parameter gamma distribution (Eq. (5)). According
to Geng et al. (1986), the parameters are related to the average
rainfall per wet day as shown in Eqs. (6) and (7), and the regres-
sion line explained 96.5% of the total variation of the analyzed
months at different sites.

The daily minimum and maximum temperatures were
sampled from normal distributions and require, therefore,
days. All the necessary daily temperature generation param-
eters are described below. The coefficients of the standard
deviation computation are consistent with those of the SIM-
Soltani and Hoogenboom, 2003):
?T =¯Tmax,m−¯Tmin,m
?Tmin= max[0.5,(5.2 − 0.13¯Tmin,m)](9)
¯Tmax,dry=¯Tmax,m+ 0.25P(w)?T
¯Tmax,wet=¯Tmax,dry− 0.25?T
?Tmax,dry= max[0.5,(5.8 − 0.09¯Tmax,dry)](12)
?Tmax,wet= max[0.5,(5.8 − 0.09¯Tmax,wet)](13)
where¯Tmin,mis the average of minimum temperatures in a
month, ¯Tmax,m the average of maximum temperatures in a
month, ? stands for standard deviation,¯Tmax,drythe average of

maximum temperatures for dry days in a month, and¯Tmax,wet
is the average of maximum temperatures for wet days in a
After the generation of daily weather values, they are then
further scaled in such a way that the total monthly CRU aver-
ages are respected. It is important to note that the final goal
is to achieve an accurate representation of the monthly water
water flows using generated daily weather data.
in SWAT, the scaling factor for the calculation of¯Tmax,dryand
¯Tmax,wetthat controls the degree of deviation in temperature
on wet and dry days was set to 0.25 (in Eq. (11)) to obtain a
smoother temperature course. Apart from this, the precipita-
tion and temperature generation procedure is equivalent to
the SIMMETEO method. The advantage of this generator is its
direct link to the globally available monthly weather statistics
and the automation that can generate many pseudo stations
at the same time. While we stick to the universal coefficients
from existing studies, the generator is designed in such a way
that the coefficients can easily be changed in case the user
would like to adapt them to a certain region or climate.
2.2. The watershed simulation model SWAT
SWAT is a continuous-time, spatially distributed simulator of
watershed-scale hydrology. The spatial heterogeneity of the
studied area is represented by first, dividing the watershed
into subbasins based on the elevation map (DEM), and second,
dividing the subbasins further into hydrologic response units
(HRUs) based on the soil and landuse maps. Soil water con-
tent, surface runoff and agricultural management practices
are simulated for each HRU and then aggregated for the sub-
basin by a weighted average. Physical characteristics, such as
slope, reach dimensions, and climatic data are considered for
and then routed through the river system. Channel routing is
simulated using the variable storage or Muskingum method.
The water balance of each HRU in SWAT is represented
by four storage volumes: snow, soil profile (0–2m), shallow
aquifer (typically 2–20m), and deep aquifer. Surface runoff
from daily rainfall is estimated using a modified SCS curve
number method, which estimates the amount of runoff based
on local landuse, soil type, and antecedent moisture condi-
tion. Peak runoff predictions are based on a modification of
the Rational Formula (Chow et al., 1988). The watershed con-
ering both overland and channel flow.
The soil profile is subdivided into multiple layers that sup-
port soil water processes including infiltration, evaporation,
plant uptake, lateral flow, and percolation to lower layers.
The soil percolation component of SWAT uses a water stor-
age capacity technique to predict flow through each soil layer
in the root zone. Downward flow occurs when field capacity of
a soil layer is exceeded and the layer below is not saturated.
Percolation from the bottom of the soil profile recharges the
a function of the maximum and minimum air temperature.
If the temperature in a particular layer reaches less than or
equal 0◦C, no percolation is allowed from that layer. Lateral
sub-surface flow in the soil profile is calculated simultane-
ously with percolation. Groundwater flow contribution to total
stream flow is simulated by routing a shallow aquifer storage
component to the stream (Arnold and Allen, 1996).
The model computes evaporation from soils and plants
separately. Potential evapotranspiration can be modelled with
the Penman–Monteith(Monteith,
(Priestley andTaylor,1972),
(Hargreaves and Samani, 1985), depending on the avail-
ability of data. Potential soil water evaporation is estimated
as a function of potential ET and leaf area index (area of
plant leaves relative to the soil surface area). Actual soil
evaporation is estimated by using exponential functions of
soil depth and water content. Plant water evaporation is
simulated as a linear function of potential ET, leaf area index
and root depth and can be limited by soil water content. More
detailed descriptions of the model can be found in Arnold et
al. (1998).

2.3. Site description
As our main objective is to model the freshwater availability
for the continent of Africa, we decided to choose a data-scarce
region of Africa for our analysis. The selected region in West
the basins of the rivers Niger, Volta and Senegal (Fig. 2). This
area is also of great interest from a technical modelling point
of view as it covers climatic zones from hyper-arid to humid.
While the greatest part of the area is characterized by some
kind of savannah, the landuse varies from barren/sparsely-
vegetated deserts to evergreen rainforests.
2.4.Available data
The data for West Africa was constructed from the following
globally available information:
(i) Digital global elevation model (DEM), constructed from the
U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) public domain geographic
elevation/gtopo30/hydro/index.html). This model pro-
vides a consistent global coverage of topography at a
resolution of 1km.
(ii) Digital global stream network, constructed also from the
USGS public domain geographic database HYDRO1k. The
stream line data layer is derived from the flow accumula-
tion layer (upstream drainage area greater than 1000km2)
and the flow direction layer.
(iii) Soil map, constructed from the global soil map of Food
and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO,
1995). This map differentiates some 5000 soil types at
a spatial resolution of 10km and provides a database
of some soil properties for two layers (0–30cm and
distribution, bulk density, organic carbon content, and
available water capacity) were obtained form Reynolds et
al. (1999).
(iv) Landuse map, was constructed from the USGS global
landuse map Global Land Cover Characterization (GLCC,

spatial resolution map represents 24 classes. Plant
parameters (e.g. leaf area index (LAI), maximum stomatal
conductance, maximum root depth, optimal and min-
imum temperature for plant growth) were determined
for the 24 classes based on the available SWAT landuse
(v) Weather data, was obtained from The National Climatic
Data Centre (NCDC, 1994). NCDC published daily cli-
matic values at about 10,000 world-wide stations for the
period of 1977–1991. The Global Daily Climatology Net-
work (NCDC, 2002) contains over 30,000 stations at differ-
ent time periods. However, it must be said that the global
distribution of the climate stations is quite uneven and
both quantity and quality of the data vary noticeably.
Another source of climate data was from the Climatic
Research Unit (CRU). This dataset is already described in
detail in Section 2.1.

2.5. Application of SWAT to West Africa
face for SWAT (Di Luzio et al., 2001). The first step in the setup
purpose we used the HYDRO1k DEM and the HYDRO1k stream
network for Africa. The minimum drainage area required to
form the origin of a stream and thus for the creation of a sub-
basin, was set to 10,000km2obtaining 292 subbasins (Fig. 2).
The succeeding computation of the geomorphic parameters
for each subbasin and the relative stream reach (e.g. elevation
distribution, area, slope and stream length) is done automat-
ically by the interface.
The next step is the landuse and soil characterization and
their overlay in each sub-watershed. This procedure is again
computed automatically with the help of the ArcView inter-
face. The soil parameters such as saturated hydraulic conduc-
tivity were determined separately for all soil layers using the
pedotransfer functions implemented in the program Rosetta
(Schaap, 1999) as a function of sand, silt, clay and bulk density.
Landuse parameters for the 24 classes included in the model
were based on the available SWAT landuse classes including
some manual changes when better literature data were avail-
The weather input is one of the most fundamental inputs
to SWAT but in many areas of the world – and also in West
Africa with about 170 stations (Fig. 2) – the measuring net-
work is not very dense and the time periods with measured
data are short and/or have many missing and sometimes even
erroneous data.
In SWAT the weather data for each subbasin is obtained
from the nearest weather station. If the nearest station is far
away (e.g. the South and the North-West of the West Africa
catchment, Fig. 2), the SWAT simulation quality is adversely
affected. Potentially, unrealistic weather data are also gener-

In this case missing values are generated from untrustworthy
are only a few stations but in the West-African model with
many hundred stations, and especially with continental mod-
els in mind, a careful manual analysis of the measured values
is not practicable. However, looking at the calculated monthly
data from the available stations helps to find stations without
enough measurements to provide reliable statistics. A rough
analysis of the data quality was performed by examining the
following calculated monthly statistics at each available sta-
tion: average and standard deviation of monthly precipitation,
maximum and minimum temperature, skewness of precipita-
tion, probability of a wet day following a dry, and probability
of a wet day following a wet day. Stations with unrealistic

The Defensive Patent License (DPL) is coming in February 2014. The DPL is a patent license proposed by the directors of the Samuelson Law, Technology & Public Policy Clinic at the University of California, Berkeley as a mechanism to develop a community of patentees that are committed to using patents defensively. Members of the DPL network automatically license any patents they own or control to the other DPL members and receive in return a license under all of the patents owned or controlled by the other members. This royalty-free license is an efficient way to establish protective cross-licenses with a large number of other entities without the burden of negotiating numerous individual agreements.
Members of the DPL are still allowed to assert their patents against non-members. The DPL contains provisions to curtail abuse, including prohibitions against direct copying, creating products for unlicensed third parties, and sublicenses. Once a member joins the DPL, the benefits of the license are irrevocable, provided that the member does not assert a patent offensively against another member of the DPL or transfer a patent to an entity that could do so. DPL members may discontinue their participation in the network, prospectively, but patents that were subject to the DPL remain licensed after a DPL member is no longer in the network.
The DPL organizers put forth a number of rationales for the license structure, including:
A detailed discussion of the rationales for DPL were presented in a 2012 paper, found here. The DPL is celebrating its birthday on November 15, 2013, at the Internet Archive in San Francisco. There will be a panel discussion from 4:30 – 6 pm and a reception to follow. All are welcome.
