We offer an extensive list of interior and exterior columns, pedestals and bases made in a variety of different art mediums and materials either cast in hydro-stone, plaster, cement, aluminum, fiberglass, carved in solid marble, or made in other metals including bronze and steel. All of our cast reproduction grade columns can be completed with a custom faux finished look, in this case blue marble, that emulates real marble, natural stone, or any other colors you prefer to match your interior or exterior decor. We can also have our talented stone carvers custom carve columns in beautiful natural marble, granite, and any other stone that is workable. Our selection of customizable columns (in terms of height adjustments we can make for you) can be carved in any size, dimension, and style you desire along with any other marble statuary pieces that you would like to have made with a matching set of colors.
Decorative columns are typically used to improve visibility of art pieces by elevating statues, classic busts, plants in pots as well as urns, and even table tops (usually made with custom cut glass) for dining, or used as an office desk. Our columns are made to order for both architectural and for purely decorative, or decoration, purposes as well.

We create architectural and decorative accent columns to match virtually any home color theme, even blue marble, or to create a unique business atmosphere using decoration columns alone, or in conjunction with other accent statues. We understand that architectural columns need to be very precise and exacting in their height requirements - so that they fit perfectly the first time! Whether you need a dining table column, or a structural support for your home, or business, it can be made of solid marble, or cement casting with metal rebar for structural support. The precise measurements of the column installation space will be necessary for your project to turn out exactly as you expect. Feel free to call our toll-free office line to discuss your custom sculpted columns. If you have any other statue project questions "on your plate" call to talk with one of our art coordinators before you place your order so that we can best help you.
The pictures on this page are a great example of an interior faux painted blue marble Corinthian column with a coordinated Corinthian capital. There are many types of caps, aka classic capitals, and center shafts that can be selected for your custom marble finished reproduction column, or columns. Corinthian capitals are the most popular style when you compare them with the other standard column types. Corinthian caps were [and still are for that matter] a sign of prestige, and they have been used to decorate many of the historical Greek and Roman ancient sites, and likewise to elaborate architectural Wonders of the World. Two of the primary types of column shafts are the smooth or fluted variety, whether the column is round or square (which is known as a pedestal).
Faux finishing services are also available to accent the color of your columns, in this case marine blue marble is what our client wanted. Additional unique and proprietary marble paint effects is what made possible the blue marble finish completed by our staff of professional painters. Our professional faux painters enable you to add numerous stylistic paint effects onto your columns (for example: gold leaf accents). With the custom painting services we offer you are able to combine different colors, like gold leaf and white marble (or black marble) on your columns. When it comes to columns in particular, a different finish is typically used on the cap [column capital, or top] and in a separate area on the base of column - like a ring at the column base. Matching different colors together can be great to give your home, school, or business the desired distinguished feeling you've always wanted. Gold leafing along the rings on the top and bottom of a column is just one example of the type of accent effects we create on a daily basis.

Litigation Settlement Prevents Sheriff Baca From Keeping Decades-Old Documents Under Wraps And Subject Only to In-Person Supervised Review
LOS ANGELES, CA - On Tuesday, MALDEF settled its lawsuit against Sheriff Lee Baca and the County of Los Angeles challenging the Sheriff's attempt to withhold unredacted records regarding the 1970 killing of prominent journalist, Rubén Salazar. MALDEF represents Phillip Rodriguez, a noted documentary filmmaker, who requested the documents as part of his research for the documentary film that tells the story of the life and mysterious death of the prominent civil rights era journalist.
Salazar was a KMEX-TV 34 journalist killed by a Sheriff's deputy during the national Chicano Moratorium March in 1970. He was best known as the first Mexican American journalist to cover the Chicano community from the mainstream media. Despite the truth-seeking and investigative nature of his journalistic work, Salazar's own death has been surrounded in secrecy for over 40 years.
"This settlement ensures that the Sheriff can no longer attempt to control the use of critical historical records on the killing of iconic journalist Rubén Salazar. The public, through the forthcoming documentary film, will immediately benefit from the availability of these unredacted records in assessing Salazar's death 42 years ago," stated Thomas A. Saenz, MALDEF President and General Counsel.
On December 4, 2012, the Sheriff and the County agreed to disclose unredacted autopsy and investigative documents, and coroner's photos regarding Salazar's death on August 29, 1970, enabling Phillip Rodriguez to reproduce copies of the documents, and use them in his film.
Matthew Barragan, staff attorney at MALDEF, remarked on the victory: "When the legislature enacted the California Public Records Act, it expressly declared that 'access to information concerning the conduct of the people's business is a fundamental and necessary right of every person in this state.' In order to verify government accountability, individuals like Rodriguez must have access to government files. Such access permits checks against the secrecy which has kept these records out of the public view for over 40 years after the incident."
Prior to filing litigation, MALDEF sent numerous written requests in 2010 for documents regarding Salazar's death. Over the past two years, the Sheriff's Department has justified its refusal of full disclosure by claiming the documents were exempt from public records requests. However, Sheriff Baca waived any exemption rights when he allowed limited public inspection of the records in March 2011. That public inspection came with unlawful conditions, including a ban on the making of copies. In April 2012, MALDEF filed a petition for writ of mandate to compel Sheriff Baca to release copies of public records relating to the death of Salazar without redactions.
The records now made available without redactions and for reproduction will allow Rodriguez to narrate a more accurate account of Salazar's controversial death than ever before possible. His documentary will be the first independent and thorough investigation of the mysterious and controversial events surrounding Salazar's death. "The film will illuminate an often neglected and misrepresented chapter of American history that was foundational in the development of the Latino cultural and political identity," stated Rodriguez.
The film, "Rubén Salazar: The Man in the Middle," will air in the fall of 2013 on PBS primetime to national audiences.

Lucas Harrell (3-3, 4.09) vs Clayton Kershaw (4-1, 1.90)
Make it 4 in a row! The Astros beat the Dodgers 3-1 tonight to take the opener of their weekend series, and win their 4th game in a row. The Astros sneak within a game of .500 and sit at 22-23 after 45 games. The Dodgers are now 30-15.
*Lucas Harrell was outstanding despite not even striking out a batter all evening. As a guy who pitches to contact, he is going to have nights where everything goes right and nights where everything goes wrong. Tonight was one of the former. His line: 7.1 IP / 5 H / 1 ER / 3 BB / 0 K. Wright, Lopez, Abad and Rodriguez then combined to pitch 0.2 IP (Mills micromanaging at its best), while Myers tossed a scoreless 9th with 2 K's for his 12th save on the year.
*Brett Myers ERA is now a very nice 1.59, and he has (as mentioned) 12 saves on the year. Him and Wandy are doing their best to make themselves trade bait.
*JD Martinez was the difference maker offensively tonight, with a 2 run homerun in the 3rd. From the 3 hole he went 2 for 4 with a run and 2 RBI.
*With Schafer still out, Maxwell was in CF and Altuve led off. Altuve went 2 for 5 with a pair of doubles and scored the first run of the game in the first inning. Maxwell went 0 for 2 but did walk twice.
*The Astros had 6 walks, 7 hits and 8 strikeouts. Not a bad job at all of getting on base tonight - unfortunately the Astros were still terrible with RISP, with a 1 for 13 night in that category.
*A very big win for the Astros - beating a great team in their home stadium. Coming into this game, the Astros were a terrible 5-13 on the road while the Dodgers were 19-4 at home. With those numbers, and facing Kershaw, you would expect this game to be a cakewalk for the Dodgers. But paced by great pitching, the 'Stros came away with the huge win.
Turning Point:
*The JD Martinez homerun which gave the Astros the lead.
Man of the Match:
*Lucas Harrell. Very nice evening facing the ace of the Dodgers - and one of the best pitchers in the entire National League.
Goat of the Game:
None. Everyone contributed in one way or another tonight. A great team win.

Assessment and Adaptation to Climate Change-Related Flood Risks
Brenden Jongman, Hessel C. Winsemius, Stuart A. Fraser, Sanne Muis, and Philip J. Ward
The flooding of rivers and coastlines is the most frequent and damaging of all natural hazards. Between 1980 and 2016, total direct damages exceeded $1.6 trillion, and at least 225,000 people lost their lives. Recent events causing major economic losses include the 2011 river flooding in Thailand ($40 billion) and the 2013 coastal floods in the United States caused by Hurricane Sandy (over $50 billion). Flooding also triggers great humanitarian challenges. The 2015 Malawi floods were the worst in the country's history and were followed by food shortage across large parts of the country.
Flood losses are increasing rapidly in some world regions, driven by economic development in floodplains and increases in the frequency of extreme precipitation events and global sea level due to climate change. The largest increase in flood losses is seen in low-income countries, where population growth is rapid and many cities are expanding quickly. At the same time, evidence shows that adaptation to flood risk is already happening, and a large proportion of losses can be contained successfully by effective risk management strategies. Such risk management strategies may include floodplain zoning, construction and maintenance of flood defenses, reforestation of land draining into rivers, and use of early warning systems.
To reduce risk effectively, it is important to know the location and impact of potential floods under current and future social and environmental conditions. In a risk assessment, models can be used to map the flow of water over land after an intense rainfall event or storm surge (the hazard). Modeled for many different potential events, this provides estimates of potential inundation depth in flood-prone areas. Such maps can be constructed for various scenarios of climate change based on specific changes in rainfall, temperature, and sea level.
To assess the impact of the modeled hazard (e.g., cost of damage or lives lost), the potential exposure (including buildings, population, and infrastructure) must be mapped using land-use and population density data and construction information. Population growth and urban expansion can be simulated by increasing the density or extent of the urban area in the model. The effects of floods on people and different types of buildings and infrastructure are determined using a vulnerability function. This indicates the damage expected to occur to a structure or group of people as a function of flood intensity (e.g., inundation depth and flow velocity).
Potential adaptation measures such as land-use change or new flood defenses can be included in the model in order to understand how effective they may be in reducing flood risk. This way, risk assessments can demonstrate the possible approaches available to policymakers to build a less risky future.
Debris-Flow Risk Assessment
Matthias Jakob, Kris Holm, and Scott McDougall
Debris flows are one of the most destructive landslide processes worldwide, given their ubiquity in mountainous areas occupied by human settlement or industrial facilities around the world. Given the episodic nature of debris flows, these hazards are often un- or under-recognized.
Three fundamental components of debris-flow risk assessments include frequency-magnitude analysis, numerical scenario modeling, and consequence analysis to estimate the severity of damage and loss. Recent advances in frequency-magnitude analysis take advantage of developments in methods to estimate the age of deposits and size of past and potential future events. Notwithstanding, creating reliable frequency-magnitude relationships is often challenged by practical limitations to investigate and statistically analyze past debris-flow events that are often discontinuous, as well as temporally and spatially censored. To estimate flow runout and destructive potential, several models are used worldwide. Simple empirical models have been developed based on statistical geometric correlations, and two-dimensional and three-dimensional numerical models are commercially available. Quantitative risk assessment (QRA) methods for assessing public safety were developed for the nuclear industry in the 1970s and have been applied to landslide risk in Hong Kong starting in 1998. Debris-flow risk analyses estimate the likelihood of a variety of consequences. Quantitative approaches involve prediction of the annual probability of loss of life to individuals or groups and estimates of annualized economic losses. Recent progress in quantitative debris-flow risk analyses include improved methods to characterize elements at risk within a GIS environment and estimates of their vulnerability to impact. Improvements have also been made in how these risks are communicated to decision makers and stakeholders, including graphic display on conventional and interactive online maps. Substantial limitations remain, including the practical impossibility of estimating every direct and indirect risk associated with debris flows and a shortage of data to estimate vulnerabilities to debris-flow impact. Despite these limitations, quantitative debris-flow risk assessment is becoming a preferred framework for decision makers in some jurisdictions, to compare risks to defined risk tolerance thresholds, support decisions to reduce risk, and quantify the residual risk remaining following implementation of risk reduction measures.
Evolution of Strategic Flood Risk Management in Support of Social Justice, Ecosystem Health, and Resilience
Paul Sayers
Throughout history, flood management practice has evolved in response to flood events. This heuristic approach has yielded some important incremental shifts in both policy and planning (from the need to plan at a catchment scale to the recognition that flooding arises from multiple sources and that defenses, no matter how reliable, fail). Progress, however, has been painfully slow and sporadic, but a new, more strategic, approach is now emerging.
A strategic approach does not, however, simply sustain an acceptable level of flood defence. Strategic Flood Risk Management (SFRM) is an approach that relies upon an adaptable portfolio of measures and policies to deliver outcomes that are socially just (when assessed against egalitarian, utilitarian, and Rawlsian principles), contribute positively to ecosystem services, and promote resilience. In doing so, SFRM offers a practical policy and planning framework to transform our understanding of risk and move toward a flood-resilient society. A strategic approach to flood management involves much more than simply reducing the chance of damage through the provision of "strong" structures and recognizes adaptive management as much more than simply "wait and see." SFRM is inherently risk based and implemented through a continuous process of review and adaptation that seeks to actively manage future uncertainty, a characteristic that sets it apart from the linear flood defense planning paradigm based upon a more certain view of the future.
In doing so, SFRM accepts there is no silver bullet to flood issues and that people and economies cannot always be protected from flooding. It accepts flooding as an important ecosystem function and that a legitimate ecosystem service is its contribution to flood risk management. Perhaps most importantly, however, SFRM enables the inherent conflicts as well as opportunities that characterize flood management choices to be openly debated, priorities to be set, and difficult investment choices to be made.
Flood Risk Analysis
Bruno Merz
Floods affect more people worldwide than any other natural hazard. Flood risk results from the interplay of a range of processes. For river floods, these are the flood-triggering processes in the atmosphere, runoff generation in the catchment, flood waves traveling through the river network, possibly flood defense failure, and finally, inundation and damage processes in the flooded areas. In addition, ripple effects, such as regional or even global supply chain disruptions, may occur.
Effective and efficient flood risk management requires understanding and quantifying the flood risk and its possible future developments. Hence, risk analysis is a key element of flood risk management. Risk assessments can be structured according to three questions: What can go wrong? How likely is it that it will happen? If it goes wrong, what are the consequences? Before answering these questions, the system boundaries, the processes to be included, and the detail of the analysis need to be carefully selected.
One of the greatest challenges in flood risk analyses is the identification of the set of failure or damage scenarios. Often, extreme events beyond the experience of the analyst are missing, which may bias the risk estimate. Another challenge is the estimation of probabilities. There are at most a few observed events where data on the flood situation, such as inundation extent, depth, and loss are available. That means that even in the most optimistic situation there are only a few data points to validate the risk estimates. The situation is even more delicate when the risk has to be quantified for important infrastructure objects, such as breaching of a large dam or flooding of a nuclear power plant. Such events are practically unrepeatable. Hence, estimating of probabilities needs to be based on all available evidence, using observations whenever possible, but also including theoretical knowledge, modeling, specific investigations, experience, or expert judgment. As a result, flood risk assessments are often associated with large uncertainties. Examples abound where authorities, people at risk, and disaster management have been taken by surprise due to unexpected failure scenarios. This is not only a consequence of the complexity of flood risk systems, but may also be attributed to cognitive biases, such as being overconfident in the risk assessment. Hence, it is essential to ask: How wrong can the risk analysis be and still guarantee that the outcome is acceptable?
Human Extinction from Natural Hazard Events
Anders Sandberg
Like any other species, Homo sapiens can potentially go extinct. This risk is an existential risk: a threat to the entire future of the species (and possible descendants). While anthropogenic risks may contribute the most to total extinction risk natural hazard events can plausibly cause extinction.
Historically, end-of-the-world scenarios have been popular topics in most cultures. In the early modern period scientific discoveries of changes in the sky, meteors, past catastrophes, evolution and thermodynamics led to the understanding that Homo sapiens was a species among others and vulnerable to extinction. In the 20th century, anthropogenic risks from nuclear war and environmental degradation made extinction risks more salient and an issue of possible policy. Near the end of the century an interdisciplinary field of existential risk studies emerged.
Human extinction requires a global hazard that either destroys the ecological niche of the species or harms enough individuals to reduce the population below a minimum viable size. Long-run fertility trends are highly uncertain and could potentially lead to overpopulation or demographic collapse, both contributors to extinction risk.
Astronomical extinction risks include damage to the biosphere due to radiation from supernovas or gamma ray bursts, major asteroid or comet impacts, or hypothesized physical phenomena such as stable strange matter or vacuum decay. The most likely extinction pathway would be a disturbance reducing agricultural productivity due to ozone loss, low temperatures, or lack of sunlight over a long period. The return time of extinction-level impacts is reasonably well characterized and on the order of millions of years. Geophysical risks include supervolcanism and climate change that affects global food security. Multiyear periods of low or high temperature can impair agriculture enough to stress or threaten the species. Sufficiently radical environmental changes that lead to direct extinction are unlikely. Pandemics can cause species extinction, although historical human pandemics have merely killed a fraction of the species.
Extinction risks are amplified by systemic effects, where multiple risk factors and events conspire to increase vulnerability and eventual damage. Human activity plays an important role in aggravating and mitigating these effects.
Estimates from natural extinction rates in other species suggest an overall risk to the species from natural events smaller than 0.15% per century, likely orders of magnitude smaller. However, due to the current situation with an unusually numerous and widely dispersed population the actual probability is hard to estimate. The natural extinction risk is also likely dwarfed by the extinction risk from human activities.
Many extinction hazards are at present impossible to prevent or even predict, requiring resilience strategies. Many risks have common pathways that are promising targets for mitigation. Endurance mechanisms against extinction may require creating refuges that can survive the disaster and rebuild. Because of the global public goods and transgenerational nature of extinction risks plus cognitive biases there is a large undersupply of mitigation effort despite strong arguments that it is morally imperative.
Measuring Flood Discharge
Marian Muste and Ton Hoitink
With a continuous global increase in flood frequency and intensity, there is an immediate need for new science-based solutions for flood mitigation, resilience, and adaptation that can be quickly deployed in any flood-prone area. An integral part of these solutions is the availability of river discharge measurements delivered in real time with high spatiotemporal density and over large-scale areas. Stream stages and the associated discharges are the most perceivable variables of the water cycle and the ones that eventually determine the levels of hazard during floods. Consequently, the availability of discharge records (a.k.a. streamflows) is paramount for flood-risk management because they provide actionable information for organizing the activities before, during, and after floods, and they supply the data for planning and designing floodplain infrastructure. Moreover, the discharge records represent the ground-truth data for developing and continuously improving the accuracy of the hydrologic models used for forecasting streamflows. Acquiring discharge data for streams is critically important not only for flood forecasting and monitoring but also for many other practical uses, such as monitoring water abstractions for supporting decisions in various socioeconomic activities (from agriculture to industry, transportation, and recreation) and for ensuring healthy ecological flows. All these activities require knowledge of past, current, and future flows in rivers and streams.
Given its importance, an ability to measure the flow in channels has preoccupied water users for millennia. Starting with the simplest volumetric methods to estimate flows, the measurement of discharge has evolved through continued innovation to sophisticated methods so that today we can continuously acquire and communicate the data in real time. There is no essential difference between the instruments and methods used to acquire streamflow data during normal conditions versus during floods. The measurements during floods are, however, complex, hazardous, and of limited accuracy compared with those acquired during normal flows. The essential differences in the configuration and operation of the instruments and methods for discharge estimation stem from the type of measurements they acquire—that is, discrete and autonomous measurements (i.e., measurements that can be taken any time any place) and those acquired continuously (i.e., estimates based on indirect methods developed for fixed locations). Regardless of the measurement situation and approach, the main concern of the data providers for flooding (as well as for other areas of water resource management) is the timely delivery of accurate discharge data at flood-prone locations across river basins.
Modeling Power Outage Risk From Natural Hazards
Seth Guikema and Roshanak Nateghi
Natural disasters can have significant widespread impacts on society, and they often lead to loss of electric power for a large number of customers in the most heavily impacted areas. In the United States, severe weather and climate events have been the leading cause of major outages (i.e., more than 50,000 customers affected), leading to significant socioeconomic losses. Natural disaster impacts can be modeled and probabilistically predicted prior to the occurrence of the extreme event, although the accuracy of the predictive models will vary across different types of disasters. These predictions can help utilities plan for and respond to extreme weather and climate events, helping them better balance the costs of disaster responses with the need to restore power quickly. This, in turn, helps society recover from natural disasters such as storms, hurricanes, and earthquakes more efficiently. Modern Bayesian methods may provide an avenue to further improve the prediction of extreme event impacts by allowing first-principles structural reliability models to be integrated with field-observed failure data.
Climate change and climate nonstationarity pose challenges for natural hazards risk assessment, especially for hydrometeorological hazards such as tropical cyclones and floods, although the link between these types of hazards and climate change remains highly uncertain and the topic of many research efforts. A sensitivity-based approach can be taken to understand the potential impacts of climate change-induced alterations in natural hazards such as hurricanes. This approach gives an estimate of the impacts of different potential changes in hazard characteristics, such as hurricane frequency, intensity, and landfall location, on the power system, should they occur. Further research is needed to better understand and probabilistically characterize the relationship between climate change and hurricane intensity, frequency, and landfall location, and to extend the framework to other types of hydroclimatological events.
Underlying the reliability of power systems in the United States is a diverse set of regulations, policies, and rules governing electric power system reliability. An overview of these regulations and the challenges associated with current U.S. regulatory structure is provided. Specifically, high-impact, low-frequency events such as hurricanes are handled differently in the regulatory structure; there is a lack of consistency between bulk power and the distribution system in terms of how their reliability is regulated. Moreover, the definition of reliability used by the North American Reliability Corporation (NERC) is at odds with generally accepted definitions of reliability in the broader reliability engineering community. Improvements in the regulatory structure may have substantial benefit to power system customers, though changes are difficult to realize.
Overall, broader implications are raised for modeling other types of natural hazards. Some of the key takeaway messages are the following: (1) the impacts natural hazard on infrastructure can be modeled with reasonable accuracy given sufficient data and modern risk analysis methods; (2) there are substantial data on the impacts of some types of natural hazards on infrastructure; and (3) appropriate regulatory frameworks are needed to help translate modeling advances and insights into decreased impacts of natural hazards on infrastructure systems.
James Goff
How big, how often, and where from? This is almost a mantra for researchers trying to understand tsunami hazard and risk. What we do know is that events such as the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami (2004 IOT) caught scientists by surprise, largely because there was no "research memory" of past events for that region, and as such, there was no hazard awareness, no planning, no risk assessment, and no disaster risk reduction. Forewarned is forearmed, but to be in that position, we have to be able to understand the evidence left behind by past events—palaeootsunamis—and to have at least some inkling of what generated them.
While the 2004 IOT was a devastating wake-up call for science, we need to bear in mind that palaeotsunami research was still in its infancy at the time. What we now see is still a comparatively new discipline that is practiced worldwide, but as the "new kid on the block," there are still many unknowns. What we do know is that in many cases, there is clear evidence of multiple palaeotsunamis generated by a variety of source mechanisms. There is a suite of proxy data—a toolbox, if you will—that can be used to identify a palaeotsunami deposit in the sedimentary record. Things are never quite as simple as they sound, though, and there are strong divisions within the research community as to whether one can really differentiate between a palaeotsunami and a palaeostorm deposit, and whether proxies as such are the way to go. As the discipline matures, though, many of these issues are being resolved, and indeed we have now arrived at a point where we have the potential to detect "invisible deposits" laid down by palaeotsunamis once they have run out of sediment to lay down as they move inland. As such, we are on the brink of being able to better understand the full extent of inundation by past events, a valuable tool in gauging the magnitude of palaeotsunamis.
Palaeotsunami research is multidisciplinary, and as such, it is a melting pot of different scientific perspectives, which leads to rapid innovations. Basically, whatever is associated with modern events may be reflected in prehistory. Also, palaeotsunamis are often part of a landscape response pushed beyond an environmental threshold from which it will never fully recover, but that leaves indelible markers for us to read. In some cases, we do not even need to find a palaeotsunami deposit to know that one happened.
Permafrost-Related Geohazards in Cold Russian Regions
Dmitry Sergeev
Permafrost, or perennially frozen ground, and the processes linked to the water phase change in ground-pore media are sources of specific dangers to infrastructure and economic activity in cold mountainous regions. Additionally, conventional natural hazards (such as earthquakes, floods, and landslides) assume special characteristics in permafrost territories.
Permafrost hazards are created under two conditions. The first is a location with ice-bounded or water-saturated ground, in which the large amount of ice leads to potentially intensive processes of surface settlement or frost heaving. The second is linked with external, natural, and human-made disturbances that change the heat-exchange conditions. The places where ice-bounded ground meets areas that are subject to effective disturbances are the focus of hazard mapping and risk evaluation.
The fundamentals of geohazard evaluation and geohazard mapping in permafrost regions were originally developed by Gunnar Beskow, Vladimir Kudryavtsev, Troy Péwé, Oscar Ferrians, Jerry Brown, and other American, European, and Soviet authors from 1940s to the 1980s.
Modern knowledge of permafrost hazards was significantly enriched by the publication of Russian book called Permafrost Hazards, part of the six-volume series Natural Hazards in Russia (2000). The book describes, analyses, and evaluates permafrost-related hazards and includes methods for their modeling and mapping.
Simultaneous work on permafrost hazard evaluation continued in different countries with the active support of the International Permafrost Association. Prominent contributions during the new period of investigation were published by Drozdov, Clarke, Kääb, Pavlov, Koff and several other thematic groups of researchers. The importance of common international works became evident. The international project RiskNat: A Cross-Border European Project Taking into Account Permafrost-Related Hazards was developed as a new phenomenon in scientific development.
The intensive economic development in China presented new challenges for linear transportation routes and hydrologic infrastructures. A study of active fault lines and geological hazards along the Golmud–Lhasa Railway across the Tibetan plateau is a good example of the achievements by Chinese scientists.
The method for evaluating the permafrost hazards was based on survey data, monitoring data, and modeling results. The survey data reflected the current environmental conditions, and they are usually shown on a permafrost map. The monitoring data are helpful in understanding the current tendencies of permafrost evolution in different landscapes and regions. The modeling data provided a permafrost forecast that takes climate change and its impact on humans into account.
The International Conference on Permafrost in 2016, in Potsdam, Germany, demonstrated the new horizons of conventional and special permafrost mapping in offshore and continental areas. Permafrost hazards concern large and diverse aspects of human life. It is necessary to expand the approach to this problem from geology to also include geography, biology, social sciences, engineering, and other spheres of competencies in order to synthesize local and regional information. The relevance of this branch of science grows with taking into account climate change and the growing number of natural disasters.
Physical Vulnerability in Earthquake Risk Assessment
Abdelghani Meslem and Dominik H. Lang
In the fields of earthquake engineering and seismic risk reduction the term "physical vulnerability" defines the component that translates the relationship between seismic shaking intensity, dynamic structural uake damage and loss assessment discipline in the early 1980s, which aimed at predicting the consequences of earthquake shaking for an individual building or a portfolio of buildings. In general, physical vulnerability has become one of the main key components used as model input data by agencies when developinresponse (physical damage), and cost of repair for a particular class of buildings or infrastructure facilities. The concept of physical vulnerability started with the development of the earthqg prevention and mitigation actions, code provisions, and guidelines. The same may apply to insurance and reinsurance industry in developing catastrophe models (also known as CAT models).
Since the late 1990s, a blossoming of methodologies and procedures can be observed, which range from empirical to basic and more advanced analytical, implemented for modelling and measuring physical vulnerability. These methods use approaches that differ in terms of level of complexity, calculation efforts (in evaluating the seismic demand-to-structural response and damage analysis) and modelling assumptions adopted in the development process. At this stage, one of the challenges that is often encountered is that some of these assumptions may highly affect the reliability and accuracy of the resulted physical vulnerability models in a negative way, hence introducing important uncertainties in estimating and predicting the inherent risk (i.e., estimated damage and losses).
Other challenges that are commonly encountered when developing physical vulnerability models are the paucity of exposure information and the lack of knowledge due to either technical or nontechnical problems, such as inventory data that would allow for accurate building stock modeling, or economic data that would allow for a better conversion from damage to monetary losses. Hence, these physical vulnerability models will carry different types of intrinsic uncertainties of both aleatory and epistemic character. To come up with appropriate predictions on expected damage and losses of an individual asset (e.g., a building) or a class of assets (e.g., a building typology class, a group of buildings), reliable physical vulnerability models have to be generated considering all these peculiarities and the associated intrinsic uncertainties at each stage of the development process.

Cisco Application Control Engine (ACE) Troubleshooting Guide -- Troubleshooting Layer 4 Load Balancing
From DocWiki
This article describes how to troubleshoot Layer 4 (L4) load balancing on the ACE.
Overview of ACE L4 Load Balancing
Load balancing at L4 involves selecting a server in a server farm to service a client request based on the VIP address and protocol in the request. You configure a class map to classify (match) interesting traffic arriving at the ACE and associate the class map with a policy map to perform an action on the traffic based on the classification. With L4 load balancing, the ACE selects a server based on the first packet it receives in a particular flow. See the "Overview of ACE Connection Handling" section in the Troubleshooting Connectivity article.
For detailed information about ACE load balancing, see the Cisco Application Control Engine Module Server Load Balancing Configuration Guide.
Classifying L4 Traffic for Server Load Balancing
You classify inbound network traffic destined to or passing through the ACE based on a series of flow match criteria specified by a class map. Each class map defines a traffic classification, which is network traffic that is of interest to you. A policy map defines a series of actions (functions) that you want applied to a set of classified inbound or outbound traffic.
ACE L3 and L4 traffic policies support the following server load-balancing (SLB) traffic attributes:
- Source or destination IP address
- Source or destination port
- Virtual IP (VIP) address
- IP protocol
The three major steps in the traffic classification process are as follows:
- Create a class map using the class-map command and the associated match commands, which comprise a set of match criteria related to Layer 3 and Layer 4 traffic classifications or Layer 7 protocol classifications.
- Create a policy map using the policy-map command, which refers to the class maps and identifies a series of actions to perform based on the traffic match criteria.
- Activate the policy map by associating it with a specific VLAN interface or globally with all VLAN interfaces using the service-policy command to filter the traffic received by the ACE.
Figure 1 provides a basic overview of the process required to build and apply the Layer 3, Layer 4, and Layer 7 policies that the ACE uses for SLB. The figure also shows how you associate the various components of the SLB policy configuration with each other.
- Figure 1. SLB Flow Diagram
Example of a Layer 4 Load-Balancing Configuration
The following example shows a L4 load-balancing configuration:

Troubleshooting L4 Load Balancing on the ACE
To troubleshoot L4 load-balancing issues, follow these steps:
1. Ensure that your load-balancing configuration is correct and that the following conditions exist:
- Real servers have valid IP addresses and are in service.
- Servers are associated with server farms of the same type.
- A load-balancing policy exists with an associated server farm and is associated with a L4 multimatch policy.
- An L4 class map contains a valid match virtual-address command and is associated with the L4 multimatch policy map.
- The L4 policy is applied to the appropriate active interface using a service policy.
- A static route is configured for the server network.
Use the following show commands:
- show running-config rserver
- show running-config serverfarm
- show running-config policy-map
- show running-config class-map
- show running-config interface
- show ip route
2. Check the ACE connectivity. See the "Troubleshooting Connectivity" section.
3. Verify that the L4 VIP class map is referenced in a L4 policy by entering the following command. Also, check the following fields:
- VIP address and port
- VIP state
- Hit count
- Dropped connections
ACE_module5/Admin# show service-policy L4WEB_POLICY detail Status : ACTIVE Description: - ----------------------------------------- Interface: vlan 100 service-policy: L4WEB_POLICY <------- L4 multimatch policy map class: L4WEB_CLASS <------- L4 VIP class map VIP Address: Protocol: Port: 192.168.120.112 tcp eq 80 <------- VIP address, protocol, and port loadbalance: L7 loadbalance policy: LB_WEB_POLICY VIP Route Metric : 77 VIP Route Advertise : DISABLED VIP ICMP Reply : ENABLED VIP State: INSERVICE <------- VIP state should be INSERVICE curr conns : 0 , hit count : 56 dropped conns : 14 <------- Number of attempted connections to this VIP that the ACE discarded client pkt count : 6297 , client byte count: 1047583 server pkt count : 1238 , server byte count: 1325495 L7 Loadbalance policy : LB_WEB_POLICY class/match : class-default LB action : serverfarm: SFARM1 hit count : 0 <-------|-- Check these counters to see if they are increasing dropped conns : 0 <-------|
The dropped conns counter under a VIP in the output of the show service policy detail command is incremented whenever the ACE discards a connection request destined to that VIP. There are several reasons why the ACE discards such connection requests. For example:
- If all the real servers in the server farm associated with the VIP go down, then the VIP will go down. So, all the incoming connections to that VIP are discarded.
- If the URL in a connection request to the VIP is unknown, then the connection request is discarded.
- If the server to which the ACE load balances the connection does not respond to the request, then, after the maximum number of retries, the ACE discards the connection.
The dropped conns counter is cumulative and the value may comprise entries from any of the following show command counters:
- show stats loadbalance
- - Total Layer4 rejections
- - Total Layer7 rejections
- - Total Layer4 LB policy misses
- - Total Layer7 LB policy misses
- - Total times rserver was unavailable
- show stats connection
- - Total Connections Timed-out
- - Total Connections Failed
- The failures counter of the show serverfarm serverfarm_name command
- The Total drop decisions counter of the show stats inspect command
4. Verify that the L4 policy is applied as a service policy to an active interface by entering the following command:
ACE_module5/Admin# show running-config interface Generating configuration.... interface vlan 100 ip address 192.168.120.1 255.255.255.0 access-group input ACL1 access-group output anyone service-policy input L4WEB_POLICY no shutdown . . .
5. Check the total conn-dropcount field for the primary server farm in the output of the following command. Also, check the IP address, state, and the connection statistics for each real server that is configured in the server farm.
ACE_module5/Admin# show serverfarm SFARM1 detail serverfarm : SFARM1, type: HOST total rservers : 3 active rservers: 3 description : - state : ACTIVE <------- Current state of the server farm predictor : ROUNDROBIN <------- Load-balancing method weight : - autoadjust : MAXLOAD failaction : - back-inservice : 40 partial-threshold : 40 num times failover : 0 num times back inservice : 0 total conn-dropcount : 0 <------- Total number of connection attempts to this server farm that the ACE discarded --------------------------------- ----------connections----------- real weight state current total failures ---+---------------------+------+------------+----------+----------+--------- rserver: SERVER1 192.168.252.245:0 10 INSERVICE 0 0 0 <------- Real server IP address, state, and connection statistics max-conns : 4000000 , out-of-rotation count : 0 min-conns : 4000000 conn-rate-limit : - , out-of-rotation count : - bandwidth-rate-limit : - , out-of-rotation count : - retcode out-of-rotation count : - load value : 0 rserver: SERVER2 192.168.252.246:0 20 INSERVICE 0 0 0 max-conns : 4000000 , out-of-rotation count : 0 min-conns : 4000000 conn-rate-limit : - , out-of-rotation count : - bandwidth-rate-limit : - , out-of-rotation count : - retcode out-of-rotation count : - load value : 0 rserver: SERVER3 192.168.252.247:0 30 INSERVICE 0 0 0 max-conns : 4000000 , out-of-rotation count : 0 min-conns : 4000000 conn-rate-limit : - , out-of-rotation count : - bandwidth-rate-limit : - , out-of-rotation count : - retcode out-of-rotation count : - load value : 0
6. Check the L4 load-balance statistics by entering the following command:
ACE_module5/Admin# show stats loadbalance +------------------------------------------+ +------- Loadbalance statistics -----------+ +------------------------------------------+ Total version mismatch : 0 Total Layer4 decisions : 0 Total Layer4 rejections : 0 Total Layer7 decisions : 0 Total Layer7 rejections : 0 Total Layer4 LB policy misses : 0 Total Layer7 LB policy misses : 0 Total times rserver was unavailable : 0 Total ACL denied : 0 Total IDMap Lookup Failures : 0

Dear Reader, the time has come to flee; my refuge has been discovered. The angry cries of the villagers grow louder and I can hear their slavering hounds baying for blood. In the midst of my hurried packing I glance out the window and see the ever-closer horde brandishing pitchforks and flaming torches.
In other words not torn from the script of a 1950s B-grade Dracula movie, I'm leaving forever. I know you've had ample time to get used to the idea of never reading another blog post from me ever again, and there are probably some of you who are surprised I'm still around at all, so I trust no one will be bereft at (or even aware of) my departure. While I always liked the idea of keeping my little blog around just in case I could ever be arsed to write anything again, there's a certain loss of joie de bloggeur when an anonymous blog is no longer, well, anonymous.
This, then, is the end of Lonie Polony and her blog. Thank you to everyone who read and commented on it – I really do appreciate each and every kind word I ever received, and I guess even the unkind ones.
And in the end, the love I took was equal to the love I mook…or something.

Note: This item is included with nine others in the Sci-Fi Technology FX Pack. Further information about each item can be found in the links listed on that page.
"Sci-Fi Power Loss" is a descending futuristic sound effect imitating what might be heard when a device or console turns off, loses power or malfunction in a science-fiction setting. It would be useful for projects working with alien and other futuristic themes looking for versatile technology samples.
Thanks for listening.

If tag teaming is going to remain in the Tekken series they MIGHT keep doubles. That's really the only way I can see clone characters returning unless they just include them in endings, in passing, or make them palette swaps or something. I would love to see more of Michelle, Forest, Sebastian, and especially Miharu though... so I hope that they'd still be included in future titles even though I'm not expecting it.

Hmm... after playing for a while today, it seems like that as our ranks gone up, so does the ghosts' difficulty level. I'm pretty much in a pinch everytime I fight against a ghost on my level. Back in T6, The Tekken God-ranked ghosts could be beaten quite easily even on ultra hard.

I lost over 50% of my online matches... actually I only won about 1/3 of the time. I'm not very good at the game and now that I'm using a stick, it makes movement harder to get used to. I'm not giving up though, I just need to learn how to block and counter... and grab... and break grabs... and dodge... and parry... and attack at the right time... and play effectively... but my combos are somewhat decent at least. ^o^
I love Miharu's new photo throw, it's definitely my favorite throw in the game. Too bad it's an item only move, I think her school bag is needed to use it so I'll be equipping that (unless it makes her tag throw with Xiaoyu unusable... which I can see happening since it looks like it starts out the same as Miharu Unlimited, which is the move that leads into her tag throw with Xiao so it probably replaces that move).
I just wish Miharu had even more of her own moves and/or some more of Xiao's old moves. That way they'd both feel like their own characters instead of... well... what Panda and Christie are to Kuma and Eddy (it always bothered me that they never gave those characters their own moves). Fortunately Miharu actually HAS a couple of her own moves unlike Panda and Christie, but judging from the looks of those moves... I would've liked to see more. I really like the looks of some of them, it would've been nice if Miharu had more of those moves and more alterations to the moves she shares with Xiao (like Shooting Star) to show off her personality and unique abilities. ^^;
Like, the differences between Forest and Marshall... or Michelle and Jaycee... they each have like... 10-20 different moves brought back from previous games that make them unique from each other yet similar enough to one another that players that use one won't have too much difficulty getting used to the other. I would've loved that for Xiao and Miharu... especially since Miharu knowing everything Xiao knows doesn't make all that much sense to me. Wang didn't train Miharu... and Xiao could've taught her some things, but not EVERYTHING she knows. Like, Miharu would've had to of conditioned her body and trained for years to do what Xiaoyu does... and Xiaoyu only moved to Japan and met Miharu while they were in highschool... and according to Panda's ending, Xiaoyu didn't even see Miharu for a long time (I consider Xiao & friends' endings canon... because it seems to be showing clips of their everyday lives that have nothing to do with the main story anyway so even if they weren't canon it wouldn't make a difference, but even if they weren't... I mean... Miharu hasn't even been mentioned in a Tekken game before this one since Tekken 4. I kinda assumed that she and Xiao didn't see much of each other since then anyway. ^^; ). I mean, maybe if Miharu like... went to China and somehow found an expert martial artist who trained her to fight just like Xiaoyu? I don't know, I'm just trying to make sense of something that really can't be explained and shouldn't be taken too seriously.
... But yeah... ramblings aside, I wonder when they'll officially announce these DLC characters and their release date(s)?

Montgomery – Black bear sightings in Alabama outside of their primary range of Mobile and Washington counties have increased in 2011. While hunted in other parts of the country, black bears are a protected species in Alabama and no hunting season is established for them through a regulatory process by the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division (WFF).
During the spring and summer of 2011, bears were reported in several locations throughout Alabama. A male bear was tranquilized in Jefferson County and relocated to suitable bear habitat in another part of the state. Another bear was seen on multiple occasions as it traveled across north Alabama toward Mississippi. Several other bear sightings occurred in Macon and Chambers counties. Recently an adult bear has been the subject in several game camera images taken in Barbour County. Two bear cubs have also been seen in Barbour County.
According to Ray Metzler, Assistant WFF Wildlife Section Chief, the black bear represents an important wildlife resource in Alabama woodlands. "If you do see a black bear, do not panic," Metzler said. "Consider yourself lucky because you are one of the few people in Alabama to have experienced such a sight."
Alabama's black bear population is relatively low, but appears to be increasing as evidenced by the higher than normal sightings. The increase in sightings may indicate that bears are establishing home ranges in other regions of Alabama outside their core areas in Mobile and Washington counties. Changes in bear range and movements may be the result of a combination of factors such as altered habitats due to development and a possible increase in black bear numbers.
Habitat loss, human disturbance, vehicular collisions and illegal killings are substantial obstacles that the black bear must endure to continue to sustain and increase its population levels throughout Alabama. An informed and educated public is essential to the survival of the black bear. Additional information on Alabama black bears can be found at websites such as the Alabama Black Bear Alliance, www.alabamablackbearalliance.org, the Alabama Wildlife Federation,www.alabamawildlife.org and the ADCNR website, www.outdooralabama.com.
For additional information or questions regarding black bears in Alabama contact WFF Wildlife Biologist Keith Gauldin at the WFF District 5 office at 251-626-5474 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources promotes wise stewardship, management and enjoyment of Alabama's natural resources through five divisions: Marine Police, Marine Resources, State Lands, State Parks, and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries.
