Imposm3 for ARMv7 on Odroid-XU4
Since yesterday I got hold of an Odroid-XU4. This is a mini-Computer similar to a Raspberry Pi, but with serious CPU power: 4 cores with 2 Ghz and additionally 4 cores with 1.4 Ghz. I already compiled a version of imposm3 for ARMv7 which can be downloaded here. I will report back, as soon as I have more to tell about my experiments.
Update on the OGD Cadastre of Trees of Vienna in OpenStreetMap
Nearly 2 years ago the OpenGovernment cadastre of trees of the city of Vienna was imported into OpenStreetMap. All trees existing in OSM were not imported to not damage already mapped data. The thing still missing is to check which trees are already mapped and did not originate from the original import.
This post is a short update on my way to a script to automatically align the not yet entered OGD trees with already mapped OSM trees. So far, I wrote a python script that checks for existing entries by location. Thanks to spatial indexing and the very easy to use rtree library, this check can be done within about one minute but I'm not yet convinced by its results. The image below shows an excerp of the results of this analysis.
One thing that can be seen is that the city of Vienna added some more small parks to the dataset. As stated above, don't take this image too seriously, it displays just preliminary results.
I'm currentrly thinking about re-implementing the script directly within the great QGIS Processing toolbox. This would make geographic debugging a lot easier since one can use the QGIS map window for outputting results while processing data.
The Complete World of OSM on limited Ressources
OpenStreetMap Data
For certain projects it might be necessary to work on the complete dataset of the OpenStreetMap project (OSM). My preferred way of using data from OSM is usually done by performing the following steps:
- download the OSM data
- selecting my area of interest by clipping it to my preferred extent
- importing the data into a PostGIS database
The complete database-dump of OSM is called the "Planet File" and weights at the moment about 36GB in its compressd form.
To clip the data I usually resort to a very handy command-line tool called Osmium where you are able to define a region of interest and/or specify certain tags to filter the data by. The import into a PostGIS database can be performed by multiple tools, of which I prefere one called Imposm3 because of its speed. But still, when using it on the complete planet file with limited ressources (I used a dual core CPU and 8GB ram), it gets terrible slow and does not complete without error. My guess is, that the index which is created during the import procedure to access the data itselfe becomes so large that the access to it is not fast enough. For the extract of alone the continent of Europe, the index is more than 20GB.
Split Data
The logical thing to do is to split the data prior to import and use different databases for each part of the dataset. When using the data later on, one will have to apply whatever further steps are taken to each database individually, but still – when not using too many splits, this should be not a lot of hassle.
What would be more reasonable than to split by continents? Luckily the company Geofabrik already offers extracts of the planet file split by continents and countries, if prefered.
Instead of splitting the complete dataset on my own, I wrote a small script which downloads each continent on its own and then goes on to import each file in a unique PostGIS database. This procedere was quite fast for all countries, except Europe.
Still too Large
If you take a closer look at the metadata of each extract by continent, you can see, that Europe is by far the largest one. While the import of the other continents was done in a matter of hours, the one of Europe took over a day before my computer automatically logged off and on again. Sadly, I have no idea what happened in detail since I was not present when this incident occured.
But then I got another idea. I observed that the import procedure of Europe was happening at an remarkably slower rate than the other ones. What if there was some kind of internal timeout? The amount of system ressources used during the import did not change during the firt two hours. Assumin it dit not change during the complete import procedure, this can not be the reason for stopping.
The complete import procedure was done on a traditional harddrive. The PostGIS database also is located on the same HDD. What I did next, was to specify the -cachedir parameter of Imposm3 to use my internal SSD drive. This should speed up sequential access to the readout of the index which happens a lot during the import.
And so it happened! The import itself was about 10 to 15 times faster when using the SSD as storage medium for the temporary index. This is still not as fast as with the other continents, but still ways faster than before. The source file itself as well as the PostGIS database remained on the HDD. This was great news, since the index is generated only once but accessed millions of times. As far as I know, only write access to SSDs wears them down.
Border Regions
A problematic situation migth occure when paying special attention to the areas on the border between two continents. Since the sliced data overlaps for a certain amount, there is redundand information. In case for the "places" layer shown in the image above, I merged all input datasets by the "Merge shapes layers" SAGA command in the Processing toolbox of QGIS. After that I could apply a cleaning algorithm to the dataset. This might not be practical (or even feasable) with very big layers, so there has to be found another solution.
To avoid this problem, one could split the planet file into regions by oneself and care to cut sharply.
I can recommend using the "continent split planet" way of importing OpenStreetMap data when not having access to a big server with loads of RAM and cpu-cores. The hassel of e.g. reapplying the same cartographic design to each of the continents individually is within limits, since there are only 7 (in case of the splits 8) of them.
Book: Schwarzplan
(for more information look at the books website or directly buy it at epubli.de or amazon.de )
Do you know what a "Schwarzplan" is? In English it is called "figure-ground diagram" and is a map showing all built areas as black and everything else in white colour (including the background). Here is an example of such a map for the area of Paris.
From such a map you can gain insights into many different aspects of urban structures. So it is for example possible to recognize hints of the age of parts of the city, their kind of reignship, their history of development, suspected density and many more. Furthermore, figure-ground diagrams have an aesthetically appealing effect and strongly underline the differences between different cities when comparing them.
Up until now, there was no atlas focussing on this kind of map which was sad . This might be due to the fact that one would have to get costly data about the buildings for each city individually But thanks to the OpenStreetMap Project I can present to you the atlas of figure-ground diagrams, a book called:
"Schwarzplan" is an atlas displaying figure-ground plans of 70 different cities all over the world together with some basic statistical information about their populations and extent on 152 pages made out of high quality glossy paper.

Android: OÖ Quiz
Since a week ago you can download the Upper Austria Quiz from the Google Play store: OÖ Quiz on Google Play
I always wanted to learn how to program mobile devices. During Christmas holidays the government of Upper Austria called for mobile apps using their OpenGovernmentalData. So, the chance was taken and Kathi and me started to design an Android app. Actually it is an hybrid app. This means that you develop your complete app as an HTML5 project and bundle it with a small server. The result is a valid android APK which behaves like a native app. The advantages are that the toolkit we used to generate the package (Apache Cordova) is capable of producing running binaries for a whole bunch of operating systems, including Windows 7, BlackBerry, Symbian, WebOS, Android and, if you can afford it, iOS. Sinc we can't pay 100$ per year to be allowed to just push the Quiz to the AppStore, there is no version for iPhone.
Since we both own Android devices, the app is optimized for Android devices. Still, there were some difficulties. First, we had to decide on a framework. jQuery Mobile seemed to be a reasonable choice at that time since it is well known and I already are used to default jQuery. Next time, I will go with a toolkit supporting any kind of MVC architecture that avoides usage of HTML whenever possible. One of these would be e.g. Kendo UI. But we chose jQuery Mobile and stuck to it.
The size of the toolbar at the bottom was a perculiar problem: While it was easy to adjust the size of the font depending on different screen resolutions of different devices, the toolbar would not change its display height.
We decided that despite its fixed behaviour it will be usable in any case, even when being very small and optimized it for the lowest screen resolution we could find. This means the app runs on even very small devices.
Map Display
The map background is variable in size and automatically adjusts to the display size.
This is possible because we used the Leaflet JS library which is a GIS capable mapping library for JavaScript. The data displayed in this case are GeoJSON objects. So, it is easy to modify and add new information to the map at any time. Even the questions and their right answer are actually GeoJSON objects!
The questions are generated out of OGD and OSM data. The most work was not to generate the questions which was mostly a case of combining a fixed phrase with a word describing a location, but to manually filter these questions for plausability. It just does not make any sense to let the quiz ask for a very small mountain which only a few people of Austria know by name themselves. The same goes with lakes – in this case we filtered by their area.
Further Thoughts
It was a fun project and I find myself playing the quiz which is a good sign. Kathi and me, we already have ideas to extend the OÖ Quiz and even have plans for a quite advanced second version with multiplayer support – it depends on our free time whether we will implement it or not.
Analysing the OGD Vienna fire hydrants for OSM import
The Dataset
The OpenData initiative of the city of Vienna (http://data.wien.gv.at/) has released a dataset about all fire hydrants of vienna. On the 17th of April it contains of 12702 unique entries and no additional attributes.
One can see that the area of Vienna is completely covered. The dataset itself seems to be quite accurate.
OSM Data
In OpenStreetMap, a fire hydrant is marked with the tag "emergency=fire_hydrant". When filtering the OSM dataset of Vienna from the 16th of April the following hydrants (blue dots) are revealed:
The sum of all fire hydrants in the OSM dataset was 67. They are not placed as dense as for example trees, therefore it is easier to find out which of the fire hydrants in the OGD dataset should not be imported.
Preparing for Import
A quick analysis revealed that with a buffer of 20 meters, most of the already mapped fire hydrants (63) can be detected and omitted.
OSM-import of the OpenGovernment TreeCadastre of Vienna
Yesterday the import of the OpenGovernment tree cadastre of vienna was performed. The data used for the import is from the 27th of November 2012.
The final dataset which was used for the import can be found here (http://gisforge.no-ip.org:5984/datastore/osm/ogd_trees_wien_selected.osm.bz2) while the trees that have been omitted can be downloaded here (http://gisforge.no-ip.org:5984/datastore/osm/ogd_trees_wien_notselected.osm.bz2).
Changes to the Original Method
The method used is the one as is described in previous posts with the exception that the substitution of certain entries in the original dataset was done by the python script and not manually by the user.
As was proposed by Friedrich Volkmann, every entry that does not fulfill the following criteria is marked with a the tag "fixme=Baum oder Strauch".
if height <= 2 and (int(datetime.datetime.now().year) - year) >= 3
This means that every entry in the cadastre of trees which is smaller than 2 meters but is older than 3 years is suspiciously small in size and should be checked manually.
Omitted Trees
As can be seen by the following image (area around "Urban Loritz Platz"), already mapped trees could successfully be removed from the dataset. No trees are mapped multiple times or are removed.
The dataset with omitted trees can be downloaded by the link provided at the top of this post.
After the Import
The most impressing thing about the import are the parks. While it can get a bit confusing, the many green dots give a good idea of the tree cover.
Another significant display of the imported trees is their position besides streets:
The display of trees should provide the reader of the map a more thorough impression of the area he is looking for. But this might also just be too much information and make the map less readable. This is open to debate.
Interestingly, the linear structure of the imported trees can be used to detect poorly mapped streets. This is the case when e.g. a row of trees crosses the actual street which is only true in rare cases.
Next Steps
What has yet to be performed is the conflation of attributes of already mapped trees with the OGD cadastre of trees. On problem that arises here is that the provided reference number for trees is not unique. Maybe it never was intended to be unique or the data provided does not contain all information necessary. Either way, one has to perform an additional search by location to distinctly identify a tree.
Also, the OGD cadastre of trees is constantly changing because trees are removed or new ones are planted. So it makes sense to think about a method to automatically keep the OSM trees up to date with the OGD cadastre of trees.

Thus I begin my exploration of the relationship between Audrey Horne and Special Agent Dale Cooper.
I will leave it up to you out there to decide whether they would eventually have
become involved romantically, but I must warn you that I am a romantic at heart
and that this may come through quite clearly in the following passages. There will be
highlighted words, which, when clicked upon, will lead you to the appropriate
pictures taken from Mike Dunn's ever awesome
Black Lodge sight, and from the
always informational
Twin Peaks FAQ,
maintained by Jim Pellman, and partly established by my good pal
Rich Haller.
At the beginning of our story we find our two subjects in their "original"
Audrey Horne
is a high school student and the daughter of the richest man in Twin Peaks,
Benjamin Horne.
She is spoiled materially, but not emotionally. Her father generally ignores her
and the only way she can elicit attention from him is by pulling pranks and making
a nuisence out of herself. She delights in ruining her fathers' business transactions
and drilling holes in filled paper cups with pencils and then pulling the pencils out.
Underneath it all, she just wants someone to pay attention to her and treat her
with respect.
Special Agent
Dale Cooper
is a buttoned down, no nonsense man whose best friend appears, at the beginning
to be the
tape recorder
he uses to dictate to his secretary (Diane), and whose greatest pleasure in life is that morning cup of
He dictates every tiny detail to the recorder. His ideas are
strange, and his methods eccentric. He seems to be the picture of absolute (if
somewhat weird) perfection. But even he has secrets. The love of his life,
Caroline Earle
was not only married to his partner, but was involved in a witness protection case
he was working on. His inattentiveness at a key moment resulted in her death, his nearly
fatal wounding, and the apparent mental deterioration of his partner,
Windom Earle
Caroline's husband. Subconciously, he is looking for someone that can help him heal that
As "Twin Peaks" begins, FBI Agent Cooper is being brought in to help the local
law enforcement solve the murder of the homecoming queen
Laura Palmer, who was
wrapped in plastic
on the shores of a local lake.
Audrey Horne, upon learning that Laura is dead, proceeds to ruin her father's
business deal with a group of Norweigans by entering their conference
looking coy
, and telling them that Laura has been murdered. This shatters their
vision of Twin Peaks as an undisturbed paradise, causing them to leave and
prompting Ben to tell her "If you pull another stunt like that, you'll be
scrubbing bidets in a Bulgarian convent."
Cooper ends up staying at Ben Horne's hotel, the Great Northern, and, on his
first morning there, not only experiences some "damn fine" coffee, but is joined
for breakfast by
Audrey ("...just so long as
those grapefruits are... [sees Audrey] freshly squeezed..." "Can I sit here?" "Ms. Horne
unless I miss my guess, your father is Benjamin Horne, owner of this fine establishment,
so I imagine you can sit anywhere you like. And might I add that it would be my pleasure.")
She has ideas about helping him out on his case. She wants to demonstrate
that she's a good, smart investigator. She wasn't exactly friends with Laura but
she knew her "better than the rest". Part of the reason she wants to help is that Laura
helped to tutor her brother Johnny, who is 27 but in the third grade ("emotional problems.
Runs in the family"). She and Laura did
spend time together
on occasion, but probably only because her father insisted. Audrey obviously felt that her father
loved Laura more than her, which was probably true (she tells Donna, "He used to sing to her...")
Hopefully, while she's helping Cooper with his investigation,
he will "realize that I'm the woman of his dreams". She wants his attention,
affection, and to run off with him. She wants out. She hates her father, and the town, and she wants to get
away. In the course of her "investigation" she also enlists help from Donna, who she talks to in
of the High School. Donna agrees to help her if what they discover remains between the two of them. Audrey
readily agrees and walks out.
Cooper is attracted to her physically, but
denies his attraction because she is just 18. They eat breakfast together a couple
times, and Cooper begins to realize that she is a lonely person whose father
neglects her. He tells her that his work is dangerous and that she shouldn't try
to solve the case. After this, their relationship gradually becomes more based upon
mutual like than their inital motives (he was physically attracted, she wanted out).
Their initial talks show a lot about their relationship. Audrey actually thanks him
for talking to her, which indicates that most people don't. She has probably been
isolated from her peers by her financial status. Even when she does talk to other people
her age, such as
Donna Hayward
the conversations are stilted and the person she is speaking to generally
ends up looking at her like she's crazy. It's doubtful that any men talk to her in any
sort of constructive way. More likely most men she's met have been like
Bobby Briggs,
and relate to her only as a "conquest".
Cooper shows her infinate respect, and this is even further demonstrated when she
materializes in his
without any clothes on. He enters the room, and, thoroughly astonished, is greeted
with Audrey's "Please don't make me leave". When, with what seems to be some effort,
sits at the end of the bed and explains to her that "this is wrong, Audrey, we both know it"
she says, "But I thought you liked me." She obviously believes that if a man likes
her, he should logically wish to jump her. But Cooper shows her a kind of respect that
she's probably never experienced by not doing what she wants him to. "You're beautiful,
intelligent, desireable, everything that a man wants in his life, but what you need right now,
more than anything else, is a friend." He pays her probably the greatest compliment she's
ever recieved in her life, and also makes it clear that he will be there for her.
There is a slightly sinister overtone to this scene towards the end, when the following exchange
takes place:
While this is going on, Audrey is refusing to take Cooper's advice, and has, after
some investigation, discovered that Laura worked at the perfume counter of her father's
department store. She goes to her father, feigns remorse over all she has done to him and pleads
with him to allow her to become his daughter again. Her father, reluctantly at first, agrees to
let her work at the department store. An interview is set up with Horne's store director, Emory Battis.
During the interview, Audrey
smiles sweetly,
listens to Battis' suggestion she work in the gift wrap department, and then, still smiling
tells him that she's going to be placed at the perfume counter, or she will "tear her dress and
tell my father that you made a pass at me." Audrey is nothing if not manipulative, and she is
very good at it. Battis, nervous, allows her to work at the counter.
The reason Battis is nervous about this, is that the perfume counter is a pipeline to a whorehouse
across the border called One-Eyed Jack's. Girls who work at the perfume counter are funnelled up
to the brothel after a certain amount of time. Once at the brothel, they become a One-Eyed Jack's
It is, as Battis puts it, "a sensitive position".
Audrey soon discovers this. She is interrupted while searching Battis' office one afternoon,
by Battis, who is bringing another perfume counter girl in back in order to tell her that she is
going to be invited to Jack's again. Audrey listens to the whole exchange from the
Later, she tricks the other girl into giving her the number of the "Black Rose" who the other girl
was told, by Battis, to contact.
Intending to go undercover, Audrey calls the Black Rose, and, after slipping a note under Coop's door
(addressed to "my special agent") with her plan summarized on it ("I've gone north, Jack's may have the answer,
Love, Audrey"), she goes north. There, she meets the brothel madam, a heroin-addict and thoroughly evil woman named
Blackie sees right through Audrey's
initial ruse (her alias? Hester Prynn). Blackie asks her why she shouldn't throw her butt out, and in answer, Audrey
picks up the cherry stem from the cherry that was in Blackie's drink. She places it in to her mouth, and begins working
it. When it is finally
it is in a knot. Blackie grins, and Audrey is allowed to stay and given a new
While in Blackie's office, she observes Cooper on the surveillence camera.
He has come North undercover in order to investigate
Jacques Renault,
a drug dealer and bartender who is also
working at One-Eyed Jack's as a blackjack dealer.
He was inspired to chase this lead by the first note that Audrey slipped under his door. Cooper and Ed Hurley,
disguised and using the aliases Fred and Barney, have arrived just as Audrey did.
After being
by a girl, Coop gets down to business and questions Renault, who reveals that he had seen Laura the night
she was killed. They later pursue and capture Renault.
Meanwhile, Audrey is learning all the ups and downs of brothel living. One of the downs being that the first man
who comes to her room is the owner of the brothel, who just happens to be her father. She manages to refuse him
creatively for several minutes (using a mask and the curtains around her bed), and is finally saved when Ben's brother
Jerry comes to fetch him. After her father leaves she is very
Later, she is called into Blackie's office and told while she is
restrained by a goon
that "everyone is her type". It is strongly implied that if it happens again she will not be so lucky.
At this point, she begins to doubt that this was the right idea, and
for Cooper to come and rescue her.
Unfortunately, Coop can't really help her much at this point, because, not only does he not know where she is,
her note slipped under his bed when he was
by persons unknown.
He is therefore in no position to help her, as she gets herself in deeper at Jack's by questioning Battis
while he is being entertained by one of the girls (his idea of entertained? Being tied up and having his toes painted).
She gets the girl to leave, and wraps a vacuum cleaner cord
around his neck, questioning him about whether Laura worked there. Battis tells her that she did, and confirms for
her that Ben Horne does own One-Eyed Jack's. Although she seemed quite
at the beginning of the session ("Well, I'm Audrey Horne and I get what I want!"), she is signficantly
when Battis tells her that
Laura slept with her father ("Mr. Horne made it his business to 'entertain' all the girls...").
Later that night, she calls Cooper, who is back from the hospital, and has just had a strange dream featuring
the psychotic killer spirit who is responsible for Laura's death. Cooper had learned earlier that day that
Audrey was missing. He was stunned when he was told, and later tells Diane that he can think "not of clues or of
evidence, but of the content of her smile." (On the other hand, Ben Horne acts as if he doesn't really care).
Cooper is concerned when Audrey calls and tells her "this is no time for schoolgirl games, I want you to come home
now." She tells him that "I am in trouble, but I'm gonna come home now." She is cut off by Blackie, with a grinning
Emory in the background. Blackie disconnects the phone and, smiling, says "Trouble, Miss Horne? You don't know what
trouble is..." Cooper, is left hanging.
The next morning, Cooper goes to Ben Horne, tells him that Audrey called. He then asks if there has been trouble
at home. Ben grins condescendingly and asks if there is more than just professional curiosity here. Cooper responds that
"Audrey and I have struck up an acqauitance." Ben says, "Acquaintance? Agent Cooper... Let me give you the best
advice that you're going to get all week. Men fall under the spell of Audrey's charms like ducks in a shooting gallery,
and if you don't want to get a load of buckshot up your tailfeathers, I suggest you park your jalopy under someone else's
window." Cooper, grimaces and says nothing as Ben walks off. It is obvious that Cooper dislikes Ben a great deal, and not just
because he's slimy, but that he doesn't seem at all concerned about Audrey.
And there is much to be concerned about.
Blackie and Emory
video tape Audrey tied up and gagged, and inject her with heroin. Blackie tells Emory that they're going to use Audrey against
Ben. Emory is nervous, but Blackie assures him that she will get some help.
The help arrives in the form of
Jean Renault
brother to Jacques Renault. Jean visits Audrey and injects her again. Then goes to speak with Blackie. There he says that
he is adding a price of his own. He wants Agent Cooper, who he believes is responsible for killing his brother. Emory stutters
that "I think we can do that... maybe..." Jean laughs, and goes to
visit Ben,
who is, to his credit, appalled when he sees the pictures of Audrey tied up.
He asks what they want, obviously prepared to pay whatever it takes to get her back. Jean says,
"They require a large sum of money. I... I require something else completely." He fastforwards the tape
to a picture of Agent Cooper from the One-Eyed Jack's security cameras. Ben reluctantly agrees to get Cooper for him, and Jean
leaves, satisfied.
Ben contacts Cooper, tells him that Audrey's kidnappers want a ransom, and that he, Ben, wants Cooper to deliver it. Cooper, who has
to this point in the conversation, been staring, expressionless at the picture of Audrey on the TV screen, agrees to do so. Later,
he asks
Harry for help.
Harry agrees to help him, and the two of them plan a two-man assault on One-Eyed Jack's.
Cooper, who suspects a trap, but can do nothing about it, eventually figures out where Audrey is when he discovers
her note
while doing his morning meditations. Instead of going to the prearranged meeting sight, he and Harry know exactly where
to go.
On the night of the rescue, Jean makes ready to meet Cooper, intending to kill him. And he and Blackie agree that it's time to get
rid of Audrey, with a massive overdose of the already nearly fatally pumped up kidnappee. As they speak in his office, Cooper and Harry
infiltrate the brothel. Harry is left outside of Blackie's office, watching Jean and Blackie talk, while Cooper searches around, and
finally finds Audrey,
tied up
to a bed. She wakes up briefly, as ecstatic as she can be to see him, and says, "My prayers..." then she lapses back into a coma.
Cooper gets her out of the room, and gets back to Harry, who has just seen Jean kill Blackie. The two of them make it almost all the way
out of the house, before being confronted by a bouncer, who almost shoots them before they are saved by
who has followed them there.
Once on the other side of the border, they take Audrey to
the Bookhouse, home of the
Bookhouse Boys, the secret society
formed by the men of Twin Peaks to "fight the evil in these woods", whose members include Harry, Big Ed Hurley, Hawk, James Hurley,
and Joey Paulson, another biker.
There, Cooper checks her out and determines that she was given enough heroin to bring her "this close" to overdosing.
After delirious ramblings, Audrey wakes up, and sees Cooper. "I prayed that you would come and save me, and you did..."
she hugs him, and he holds her.
After her rescue from near-death, her behavior changes quite a bit. She has nearly been killed, and she realizes that
perhaps she should grow up a bit (one major indication: she quits smoking). Her outlook on her father changes a lot as well. She
him about his "relationship"
with Laura, and he admits that he slept with her, and that he loved her. Stricken, Audrey goes to Cooper and Harry and
tells them
about her father. This, along with some other evidence, including the fact that Laura wrote "Someday I'm going to tell the world
about Ben Horne, I'm going to tell them who Ben Horne really is", prompts Cooper to arrest Ben.
Audrey later goes to
Cooper's room
and asks him if they have arrested her father. Cooper confirms that they have. She then tells him that she never did anything
while she was at Jack's, and he assures her that he knows. There is a long moment of silence, in which Cooper and Audrey's eyes
lock. The look is intense, and is only broken when the phone rings, and Cooper is told that Madeline Ferguson's body has been found.
Cooper tells Audrey to go to her room and lock the door, and then goes to the waterfall, where the body has been found.
Cooper then goes on to solve the murder of Laura Palmer. He
together the men of Twin Peaks, and then sees a vision. Laura Palmer,
who he had seen in a dream, whispers the identity of the killer to him. It was her father, Leland. Giving those assembled a
thumbs up,
he takes Ben down to the station, bringing Leland along, allegedly to serve as Ben's lawyer.
At the station, they force Leland into a cell, and Bob shows himself. After confessing to having done it all,
Bob promises that "I will kill again!", then proceeds to
himself, and smash Leland's head into the door of his cell. Leland later
in his cell, expressing regret for having killed his daughter, and leaving
Cooper, Truman, and Agent Rosenfield to wonder where Bob is now. Finally, the murder has been solved.
Unfortunately, Cooper is not allowed to rest for long. More trouble appears soon after, and it will take some ingenuity from
Audrey to get him out of it...
This ends part 1 of the Coop/Audrey relationship story. You can either click

Cooper: Secrets are dangerous things Audrey.
Audrey: Do you have any?
Cooper: No.
As will be seen later, this is not at all true. The way in which Cooper states "no" foreshadows
slightly what may be coming.

Intensive care ++ The two most common congenital wall defects are gastroschisis and omphalocele. ++ Gastroschisis Definition Gastroschisis is a full-thickness, typically right-sided, paraumbilical abdominal wall defect and primarily has the intestines and stomach protruding through the defect in the amniotic fluid. Incidence There has been a 10- to 20-fold increase in the birth prevalence of gastroschisis over the past two decades. The cause of this increase is poorly understood, but is a worldwide phenomenon. Currently, Gastroschisis occurs in one in 4000 live births. Gastroschisis occurs in males and females equally. Pathophysiology The etiology of gastroschisis has yet to be determined. There are several embryologic hypotheses that describe abnormal formation or weakening of the body wall followed by bowel herniation. The current accepted theory is that of failure of migration of the ventral folds on the right side causing the defect. Risk factors Gastroschisis has been strongly associated with maternal age younger than 21. Nulliparity has been associated with gastroschisis, independent of maternal age. Maternal exposure to vasoconstrictive drugs (cocaine, ephedrine, and pseudoephedrine), tobacco, aspirin, and ibuprofen may be associated with the development of gastroschisis. Maternal low bodyweight and genitourinary infections may also be associated with a greater risk of gastroschisis. Conversely, acetaminophen use in the first trimester may decrease the risk of gastroschisis. Clinical presentation Majority of patients are diagnosed prenatally in the United States. Gastroschisis may first be identified by an elevated second trimester maternal serum α-fetoprotein level. An elevated maternal serum α-fetoprotein should be investigated further with a level 3 fetal ultrasound. At 10 weeks of gestation, the midgut returns to the abdominal cavity, after this time point gastroschisis may be diagnosed with ultrasonography by visualization of freely floating intestine and a paraumbilical abdominal wall defect that is typically located to the right of the midline. Gastroschisis may be associated with oligohydramniosis; polyhydramnios is less common and is associated with fetal bowel obstruction (atresia) or reduced bowel motility. Bowel dilation is considered to be a prognostic marker for worse clinical outcome but has not been proven. It may be challenging to differentiate a gastroschisis from a ruptured omphalocele prenatally. At birth, the intestines are noted to be outside the abdomen and are in varying degrees of being "matted" or thickened. It is not uncommon to see these intestines to have meconium staining. The ring in the abdominal wall may be excessively tight and the intestines may appear ischemic at times due to that. Gastroschisis is labeled "complex" when there are additional intestinal abnormalities or ischemia and "simple" when it occurs in isolation. The most common associated anomaly in gastroschisis is bowel atresia, with a reported rate of 6.9% to 28%. Gastroschisis is rarely associated with extraintestinal malformations. Diagnosis Gastroschisis is diagnosed clinically, as described above. Management Perinatal care Advocates for cesarean delivery for fetuses with gastroschisis contend that vaginal delivery may injure the exposed bowel or increase the risk for infection.

The Gathering Storm
Book 12, Wheel of Time
Robert Jordan & Brandon Sanderson
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
Tarmon Gai'don, the Last Battle, looms. And mankind is not ready.
The final volume of the Wheel of Time, A Memory of Light, was partially written by Robert Jordan before his untimely passing in 2007. Brandon Sanderson, New York Times bestselling author of the Mistborn books, was chosen by Jordan's editor---his wife, Harriet McDougal---to complete the final book. The scope and size of the volume was such that it could not be contained in a single book, and so Tor proudly presents The Gathering Storm as the first of three novels that will make up A Memory of Light. This short sequence will complete the struggle against the Shadow, bringing to a close a journey begun almost twenty years ago and marking the conclusion of the Wheel of Time, the preeminent fantasy epic of our era.
In this epic novel, Robert Jordan's international bestselling series begins its dramatic conclusion. Rand al'Thor, the Dragon Reborn, struggles to unite a fractured network of kingdoms and alliances in preparation for the Last Battle. As he attempts to halt the Seanchan encroachment northward---wishing he could form at least a temporary truce with the invaders---his allies watch in terror the shadow that seems to be growing within the heart of the Dragon Reborn himself.
Egwene al'Vere, the Amyrlin Seat of the rebel Aes Sedai, is a captive of the White Tower and subject to the whims of their tyrannical leader. As days tick toward the Seanchan attack she knows is imminent, Egwene works to hold together the disparate factions of Aes Sedai while providing leadership in the face of increasing uncertainty and despair. Her fight will prove the mettle of the Aes Sedai, and her conflict will decide the future of the White Tower---and possibly the world itself.
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow.
At the publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management software (DRM) applied.
Customer Reviews
This author proves why he was chosen to finish the greatest fantasy epic ever!
Great writing by Sanderson
Brandon Sanderson, does an incredible job of sticking to the meat of the story as well as answering many questions the readers have had on their minds for many years. He also does a great job of following Robert Jordan's outline for the story. It Would be nice However to also have this book listed under "Robert Jordan" as well ad Brandon Sanderson's book listings. I had s difficult time attempting to find this book since it wasn't listed with Robert Jordan's other books.
Brandon Sanderson takes up Jordan's torch with style, cohesion, and eloquence. His deep familiarity with the characters leaves us feeling Jordan's spirit though the whole book, touched with a subtle freshness only a Wheel of Time lover can truly admire and acknowledge. Great job Brandon! Bravo on all accounts!

I really wish I made this investment when I started my hair journey!
ETA: I previously used the Jilbere Shower Comb
@Jenijen- The HS1975 is great! I feel like the teeth are a little sharp on mine but I love that comb too!
That's something I would sooo do. I was contemplating purchasing the comb for at least 1 week before actually purchasing it.
I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!

The report provides a detailed look into the infrastructure sector in India, including analysis of the state of the current infrastructure, the regulatory and financing landscapes and the major projects in the construction pipeline.
The report covers all key infrastructure sectors: roads, railways, electricity and power, water and sewerage, communication, and airports and ports.
For more information about this report: http://www.reportsweb.com/infrastructure-insight-india
Report Summary
India is currently planning to expand its infrastructure spending as set out by the budgets under the government of Narendra Modi. The total value of the infrastructure construction market reached INR11.7 trillion (USD179 billion) in 2015, according to the Infrastructure Intelligence Centre (IIC), up from INR6.9 trillion (USD106 trillion) in 2010. This value is projected to rise to INR18.9 trillion (USD290 billion) by 2020, in nominal value terms. This growth in spending is based on the assumption that a number of projects continue as planned large-scale programs, such as the Nuclear Power Program, which involves the construction of 16 nuclear power reactors in India, and the National Highways Development Program.
Report Scope
- A concise analysis of the administrative, economic and political context for infrastructure in India.
- An in-depth assessment of the current state of infrastructure in India, including roads, railways, electricity and power, water and sewerage, communications, airports and ports.
- A focus on main political and financial institutions involved in the infrastructure market, as well as the competitive and regulatory environment.
- For each infrastructure sector, an explanation of the key drivers of growth in new investment and an analysis of the project pipeline, with a detailed look at the prospects for major projects and the companies that have secured contracts.

Key Highlights
- Publisher is currently tracking 958 large-scale infrastructure construction projects in India, at all stages of development from announced to execution. These projects have a total investment value of INR116 trillion (USD1.8 trillion).
- The electricity and power sector accounts for the largest share of the project pipeline, with a total project value of INR52 trillion. This is followed by roads, with a pipeline value of INR26.8 trillion.
- When its current infrastructure is compared to the other BRIC economies (Brazil, Russia, India and China) through the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report, India trails China and Russia for overall quality.
- The 2015-16 budget has a key focus on unblocking the infrastructure pipeline through previously underutilized measures. One important initiative is the reallocation of tax revenue between central and state governments, increasing the states' allocation by around 10%, thus empowering them to better allocate investment to need.
Reason to Buy
- Assess the current state of India's infrastructure, and the main drivers of investment, including the key institutions and financing methods.
- Investigate forecasts and gain an understanding of key trends in each of the main infrastructure sectors.
- Analyze the main project participants operating in each sector, to better understand the competitive environment.
- Identify top projects by sector, development stage and start date, to inform your expansion strategy.

Similar to a motorcycle jacket, asymmetrical jackets have an off-center zipper, but without the biker-inspired details. To see what style your jacket is, check the color. Motorcycle jackets usually have a notched lapel while asymmetrical jackets typically have a funnel collar. I'm lusting after the Gar-de 'Buller' jacket, top left. The flat pockets at the waist won't add extra bulk.
I LOVE the camel colored one on the bottom left. And I LOVE your blog :) More recipes please!

Courtesy Google |
Google upped the ante with Google+, their social networking platform that looks to compete directly with Facebook. Boasting familiar features such as the Stream (aka newsfeed), red pop-up notifications and the ability to share pictures, comments and status updates, Google+ transforms the classic search engine into a social network, with "plus one" features for search results and heavy rebranding of many other Google products, including Picasa, which will be renamed "Google Photos," and Blogger, which will become "Google Blogs." That isn't to say that Plus doesn't include some cool features: our favorites include Hangouts, which allows video chatting with up to ten people, and an embedded image-editing service.
In effect, Google+ will be the integration of its various products and services, tied together neatly across one social platform. Google+ is currently accessible only via invite, which means that currently, Plus is ghost town with very little interaction in comparison to the bustling Facebook. (If you're dying for a peek inside, you can check out the demo here.) And the reaction across the blogosphere has been mixed. Some love it; others see it as a Facebook knock-off. Still others predict that Plus will follow in the footsteps of the failed Google Wave, last year's real-time communication platform that was rolled out and quickly disbanded by the search engine giant.
Indeed, Google is stepping into precarious territory: few social media platforms have managed to compete with Facebook, including Google's own Google Buzz, which was riddled with privacy issues and bad press from the get-go. And for Plus to succeed, it will have to go head-to-head with Facebook, which means convincing Facebook users to switch over to the Plus platform. But if Google has learned anything from its own competition with Microsoft's search engine Bing, it should know that simply matching an established product (or even improving upon it slightly) isn't enough to draw users from the pre-existing product. In fact, the most followed person on Plus is not Google CEO Larry Page, but Facebook's Mark Zuckerburg.
So we're reserving judgement on Google+. Social media revolution or major flop? Only time will tell. What do you think about Google's latest social platform? Let us know in the comments!

Sweet Fabric Heart Banner
Laura made the banner out of fabric and used several images from my site to decorate it with, including the Vintage Pocket Watch Graphic and Antique Birds Engraving. I'm not sure if she transferred the images on or if she printed them right onto the fabric, but either way, these are lovely and the embellishments are so pretty!!

Hello Karen!
I'm very pleased to see you include here my project. I transferred the images on the fabric using Citra-Solv, it is very easy and fast to transfer the image. I have learned that there are different methods to do it, since print direct onto the fabric or transfer using citrasolv or the Transfer Tool which I found amazing too.
I'll keep making more project using your lovely images, you have a wonderful blog.
Thank you for sharing it to us.
Have a great Sunday!
Laura =)That's so beautiful. I wish I had your talent! At least I have my collection of wholesale clothes to console me. Thank you for the inspiring photos.

Blade mSR!
Forgot to mention, before getting the Stinson I picked up a Blade mSR Fixed Pitch micro heli! What an easy to fly, stable little bird. I have a blast with it. I have replaced the landing gear, tail FIN and main rotors with the glow in the dark parts. Combined with the light in the canopy it looks awesome in low to no light in the garage.
Very eary to fly, very easy to hover, hands off even, and yet as a single fixed pitch heli it is WAY more maneuverable than my coax heli. Great second heli and step up towards more twitchy flying. I found between this mSR and loads of SIM time I can now hover the Novus FP pretty darn well. It's still twitchy, and I damaged it almost beyond repair, but I have gotten some nice hovers in the garage, no problem. Anyhow, love the mSR, but it's got me wanting a 3D heli ... SR or 400 here I come ... 2011 Feb 20 UPDATE Well, I have FINALLY gotten around to taking SOME video of the mSR! This heli has been GREAT to fly, but I have a hard time convincing the boys to come and film for me. This weekend, problem solved, I built a home made HAT CAM out of an old ball cap, threaded bolt, 3 nuts, 3 washers and a nylon spacer! It seems to actually work pretty well, though I have to be carefull when filming my planes to make sure it is pointed UP high enough. Here's the test video of the HAT CAM and the first flight video of the Eflite Blade mSR! Marlin

Training of Master Trainers for SME-ICT project Implementation Esther Mwiyeria (GESCI) 9 th – 10 th Feb 2012 email@example.com
Ground Rules Everyone participates. Everyone has been invited to contribute and has an opportunity to bring value to the discussions through ideas, thoughts, opinions Different opinions are welcome and valued. We do not all have to agree and can learn from divergent thinking. Disagreement is an opportunity to learn more about an issue and ultimately make a wiser group decision. Silence is agreement One conversation at a time - limit side conversations show respect for others by listening to their point of view and refraining from side conversations. Start on time; end on time. You will miss important dialogue and decisions and generally disrupt the discussion. We should not be "punishing" the prompt by making them wait for the late-comers. Challenge ideas, not people. Focus on interests, not positions; separate people from the problem. Seek to understand others point of view by asking questions and explaining the reasoning behind someones opinion. Participate in a positive and constructive manner Be concise and to the point with interventions to contribute to efficient time management Stick to the agenda to achieve objectives, outputs and outcomes No cell phones or email during the sessions unless they are being used as media. Follow through on agreements.

Validation Clarity Relevance Scope
Clarity of Objectives
Clarity - Accuracy
Relevance: Engaging content
Relevance: Promotion of Learning
Scope: Coverage & understanding
Scope – Coverage:
Scope: Is there something missing The context domain is missing in the TPACK model Technical skills The competences could be listed to make them uniform The reference materials were not enough The resources should be separated from the modules so that it can be easier to print and use in case of power downtimes Tutors should be enabled with laptops Open office is unfriendly and ambiguous and requires enough time to learn More specific Math content Skills to download picture interactive videos and animation Some of the exercises are there already but for the rest, the facilitator will have to develop.....however, if there are some missing things it will be better realized during T/L process The basic skills for producing multimedia content is very important and should be included in the topic to enhance the production and proper use of Video and Audio
Open discussion Collaboration in the zones – How have you achieved collaboration in your zone? – What has worked well? – What has not worked well? – Proposed solutions to challenges encountered Capacity building efforts for tutors Priority topics in digital content resources Digital resources identification – progress so far Use of the WIKI space for collaboration
Lesson plans for effective ICT Integration in SME teaching Esther Mwiyeria SME-ICT Project Coordinator GESCI 9 th – 10 th Feb 2012 firstname.lastname@example.com
Background Meeting in Mpwapwa – 25 th Nov 2011
Feedback on lesson evaluation..Although the graphics were attractive and support the content of the lesson with the teacher helping the students use technology was to a good level, the use of technology to demonstrate complex ideas and to observe things that would otherwise be difficult to visualize in life was at a minimum…
Feedback on lesson evaluation The use of technology to interact and collaborate with students The ability of the teacher to adapt the use of technology to different learning activities Teachers use of technology-based tasks to engage students was lacking No opportunity for student collaboration during the learning process The teachers judgement on when to use or not to use technology is largely lacking However the use of references was limited Technology was predominantly used to display images and not to engage and involve students Skills in teachers reflection should be revisited and enhanced
General Remarks The teachers pedagogical approach was predominantly leading (through lecturing and directing class activities) Teacher used technology to present information Conclusion The required skills are those related to: – enhancing the lesson through technology use using technology to enhance students involvement and use technology to investigate and construct the meaning of complex ideas Feedback on lesson evaluation
Review of the prepared technology integrated lesson plans and resources
Objectives of the session Develop lesson plans that integrate technology resources Develop one technology resource for use in lesson implementation Critically evaluate lesson plans and technology resources of peers
Group task Form pairs according to subjects – Chemistry – Physics – Biology – Mathematics – English
Resources Lesson plans developed at the zonal level in the different subjects Module 2 Internet ?
Task description Each subject team should take one lesson plan from the zones Go through the planned objectives, activities, resources and timeframes – Is there any indication on where the ICT resource will be used in the lesson plan? – Has TPCK been integrated in the lesson plan What does the team like about the lesson plan and choice of resources Suggest improvements
Plenary Teams present their evaluation of the lesson plans and resources Teams discuss suggestions for improvement of lesson plans
Summary Feedback from the facilitators
Monitoring and Evaluation tools
Overview (tools) Workshop processes – General workshop evaluation tools – Teachers self assessment tool – E-diary – E-portifolio Application of ICT in SME Teaching – Classroom observation protocol – to be administered by the visiting tutor – Teacher self-reflection framework Reflection on the lesson before teaching Reflections on the Lesson after teaching – Did the lesson differ from your expectations? – What do you think are the reasons for the way things happene – What would you do differently next time to make the lesson more effective
Overview (tools) Impact on students learning environment – Students questionnaire – Students ICT questionnaire School visits – Project team – Tutors – Inspectors
Teacher self-assessment tool (during workshop processes) Tool 1 This is a questionnaire for measuring teacher competency in applying technology, pedagogy and content knowledge (TPACK) in teaching and learning of Science, mathematics and English (SME) subjects. Who can use the tool: Tutors/teachers When to use the tool: at the beginning of a lesson/workshop
E-diary Tool 2 The e-diary is a teacher reflection tool that is integrated into workshop activities. The tool is designed to encourage teachers to a) reflect on past teaching experiences; b) reflect on the way they teach now; c) reflect on the way they experience the activities in the workshop module; d) reflect on change as they experiment with technology use in their classroom practice.
What is in the e-diary? Before the activity – What do I understand about the new Pedagogy in Science, Mathematics and English teaching: After the activity – What I have learnt from my group tasks about the new pedagogies and constructivist approach for teaching Science, Mathematics and English – What I feel about my progress so far
E-portifolio Tool 3 The e-portfolio is a collection of documents and artefacts that can be used for assessing/ monitoring the work produced by participants as they complete modules in each workshop programme. What for? – Teachers can use the e-portfolio to store and review all of the documents and artifacts (PowerPoint presentations, lesson plans, concept maps etc) that they produce during the workshops. – They can share their portfolio documents/ artifacts with other teachers in their schools when they return to their schools from the workshops. – They can use their portfolio documents/ artifacts as a reference to retrieve and apply workshop ideas, concepts and artifacts (lesson plans/ group work activities etc) in classroom practice.
When will these be of use? The workshop facilitators should gather samples (photocopies) of teacher portfolios to demonstrate the quality of products that teachers have developed in workshop activities in March and subsequent trainings The school visit teams (college tutors, inspectors and national teams) can also gather samples of teacher portfolios as part of the school visit programme. National project management team will analyze the portfolio workshop/ school visit artifacts and include these assessments in monitoring and evaluation reports
Monitoring project outcomes Student Survey Questionnaire – To measure the initial impact of project activities on student performance in relation to Cognitive (performance & Achievement), Affective (Attitudes & Disposition) and Psychomotor (Skills & Behaviors) domains. The focus is to continually improve all aspects of the project design and facilitation based on field observation and student feedback ICT Student Questionnaire – What Students think about Laptops in the Classroom
Level 5: Student learning Outcomes in Project Pilot Schools Tools: Student Questionnaires; School records examination results To be used by students Level 4: Teacher Use of New Knowledge & Skills in Project Pilot Schools Tools: TPCK Observation Checklist; Teacher Reflection on Lesson Implementation; Teacher and Student artifacts To be used by tutors and teachers Level 3: Organization Support & Change in Pilot Schools Tools: School Inspector Checklist ; School Visit Protocol for Zonal Teams; To be use by: College tutors.

Follow Us on
In any state, local governments, along with certain companies, environmental groups, and other stakeholders, often share policy priorities and are invested in shaping statewide and local product stewardship initiatives, both legislative and voluntary. However, it can be a challenge for these different groups to come together and promote one cohesive message.
PSI supports and aids local government groups and their allies in advancing product stewardship through a range of helpful services. PSI provides organizational coordination (i.e., establishing product stewardship councils), meeting facilitation, technical assistance, website development and social media support, cooperative financing opportunities, fiscal services, and access to information and networks.
Ultimately, PSI empowers these groups to implement their own extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws and programs independently. PSI offers trainings, information, and strategic advice to develop EPR implementation skills.
Over the years, PSI has worked with the following states to help fulfill various product stewardship goals, either by working on specific programs or by developing Product Stewardship Councils and Coalitions (PSCs):
PSI's Role in Delivering Solutions
PSI facilitates conversations between stakeholders to create programs and develop solutions that address the need for convenient, safe disposal of various products.
To allow for an exchange of perspectives, PSI initiates, coordinates, and facilitates dialogues between key industry, government, and non-profit groups to reach multi-stakeholder consensus on priority initiatives.
After these meetings, PSI engages multi-stakeholder workgroups to discuss:
• options for reducing waste; • best management practices for collection and disposal; • approaches for development and implementation of EPR legislation; and • regulatory issues related to the collection, transport, and disposal of waste products.
Provides Organizational Development and Training
PSI helps stakeholders develop the skills necessary to lead their own group initiatives and develop/implement their own programs. PSI advises PSCs on group structure, provides organizational support and expert guidance on product approach and work plan development, and trains organization leaders to facilitate effective group meetings. PSI also provides fiscal services, devises fundraising strategies, and guides the grant-writing and fundraising process.
PSI offers local governments, coalitions, and councils with product-specific support, including expert technical, financial, and political analyses on any given product category. We also conduct product-specific research and surveys.
PSI monitors, informs and advocates for product stewardship legislation on behalf of all local government coalitions. We assist in the development and passage of legislation and the creation of educational materials to promote bill passage, while offering expert testimony. We provide exclusive resources for PSI Members and Partners – login or learn more.
PSI develops and hostsinformative webinars, meetings, conferences, and PowerPoint presentations on various products on behalf of of local governments. To provide educational outreach and communications support, we develop fact sheets, posters, brochures, press releases, blog posts, FAQs, toolkits, model legislation, and other marketing collateral on an ongoing basis.
PSI offers customized research and strategic consulting services. We work with the client to develop a scope of work, and implement a project that exceeds expectations.
Participants in these programs can receive affiliate or full member benefits (state and local governments) or standard partnership benefits (organizations and corporations)

Nintendo Entertainment System
this wiki
The Nintendo Entertainment System, or NES, is an 8-bit video game console released by Nintendo in North America, Brazil, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Its Japanese equivalent is known as the Nintendo Family Computer, or Famicom[1] (ファミコン Famikon). The most successful gaming console of its time in Asia and North America (Nintendo claims to have sold over 60 million NES units worldwide), it helped revitalize the video game industry following the video game crash of 1983, and set the standard for subsequent consoles in everything from game design (the first modern platform game, Super Mario Bros., was the system's first "killer game") to business practices. The NES was the first console for which the manufacturer openly courted third-party developers.
Castlevania games for the NESEdit
There have been three Castlevania games released for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The first is the original Castlevania game. The basic themes for most Castlevania games were established here, such as the battle of a Belmont with a Vampire Killer pitted against Dracula and his minions, and the use of Heart powered sub-weapons. The second is Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, which has more role-playing elements and somewhat different enemy designs and play style. Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse was the third game for the system. This game returned Castlevania to its roots and was one of the largest games created for the original NES.
