Introduction to Data Sets
Learn about Envision data sets, metrics, and dimensions.
Supported Envision Versions: 1.0, 1.1, 1.2
Table of Contents
What is a Data Set?
A data set is a group of metrics that are collected so that they can be analyzed through queries based on different criteria, or dimensions. It is the foundation on top of which all analysis can be performed. Take a company named Acme that manufactures shoes, for example. Acme provides an API for merchants to order shoes that are sold to the public. Acme wishes to collect metrics on those sales such as:
- How many orders by each merchant
- Number of items ordered by style
- Number of items ordered total
- Total sales by each merchant
- Total sales by each style
- Total sale of all orders
- Fees collected by each merchant
- Total fees collected
Metrics and Dimensions
Acme wants this information reported on a weekly and monthly basis. This group of metrics becomes the basis for a data set.
- The data set consists of metrics and dimensions. The metrics themselves are simply numeric values, such as a price or quantity.
- The metrics are collected over one or more time intervals (for example, one minute, one hour, and one day).
- Because multiple values for a metric will likely be gathered over a time interval, a calculation must be defined for combining the multiple values to a single value. This is called aggregation. Some examples are calculating an average, a sum, or recording the minimum or maximum values.
- The metrics are then partitioned, or grouped, by organization properties of the transactions called dimensions, such as merchant or style.
In Acme's case we have a data set named "Shoe Sales." The metrics in the data set are:
- Number of Orders (sum)
- Number Of Items Sold (sum)
- Sales Amount (sum)
- Fees Paid (sum)
For both metrics, they will be summed over the collection interval. The dimensions in the data set are:
- Merchant
- Style
- Order Date
Note there is no dimension for Order. This is because collecting metrics per order or by transaction is the empty dimension. It is the single grouping of metrics without a dimension and is always collected. The collection intervals in the data set are:
- Week
- Month
Data Set Examples
By defining the data set in this way each week the number of orders made, number of items sold, sales amount, and fees paid, will be calculated. The numbers will be calculated by creating their sum. There will be a separate sum for each combination of merchant and style, and a sum independent of any dimension. The following table lists a set of orders that will be used to illustrate Shoe Sales Data Set.
For the week of 5/11 the data set will collect the following sums.
With the metrics and with these combinations of dimension the original requested queries can be performed:
- Orders Made by Merchant—Sum the # Orders column for each unique Merchant: Walmart 5, Costco 3, Target 2
- Items Sold by Merchant—Sum the # Items column for each unique Merchant: Walmart 350, Costco 150, Target 100
- Items Sold by Style—Sum the # Items column for each unique Style: High Top 300, Mid Top 50, Low Top 250
- Total Items Sold—Sum the # Items column: 600
- Total Sales by Merchant—Sum the Total Sale column for each unique Merchant: Walmart 3500, Costco 1500, Target 2000
- Total Sales by Style—Sum the Total Sale column for each unique Style: High Top 4, Mid Top 1, Low Top 2500
- Total Sales of all Orders—Sum the Total Sale column: 6000
- Fees Collected by Merchant—Sum the Trans Fee column for each unique Merchant: Walmart 70, Costco 30, Target, 40
- Total Fees of all Orders—Sum the Trans Fee column: 140
Now let's say that Acme changes their ordering system so that multiple styles of shoes can be ordered at the same time by a Merchant and each order has only one transaction fee. The orders would then look like:
The system can no longer simply create rows of data from unique combinations of the dimensions because if that were to be done the metrics for Number of Orders and Transaction Fee would be summed incorrectly. For example orders 1002 and 1004 would be counted twice for calculating the number of orders made and the transaction fees would be counted twice as well. To accommodate the differences between metrics general to a single transaction and metrics for multiple line items of a transaction a hierarchy of grouping is performed. The table below shows how the sums would be calculated for this new ordering system.
The queries that can be performed against the sums for the new ordering system are all the same as the old ordering system. The data set is defined the same way. The system just performs a different level of grouping. The columns can still be summed the same way to perform the queries, there just may be less rows for the transaction level metrics to sum.

I'm so looking forward to Easter! Believe it or not, it is not solely because of all the good food and chocolate I'll be allowed to consume (not that I don't consume said chocolate even when I'm not allowed, but during Easter I don't have to feel too bad about it… Anyone else like me out there?), but because of the annual music festical Aldrei fór ég suður, which will be held in Ísafjörður for the ninth time this Easter.
It features lots and lots of Icelandic artists, beginners and veterans, bands every Icelander knows as well as local singer/songwriters from the West Fjords. Each artist gets only fifteen minutes to perform. Admission is free and the artists all donate their work. The festival is attended by lots and lots of people, locals mix with people flying in from Reykjavík or other parts of the country and the ages range from still-in-the-womb to 90+. It's an amazing experience and I can't wait for Friday night, when it all begins!
There's plenty of good Icelandic music and artists. I thought I'd share two videos from artists I like: Ólöf Arnalds covering Mr. Tambourine man with her sister Klara (I happen to be acquainted with both of them and they really are the nicest people!), and Snorri Helgason (who will perform at AFÉS) singing his beautiful Mockingbird with Mr. Silla. Do you like them?
ps. Wish me luck with my third go on that televised game show thing. We keep winning so we keep going back. And I started out not really caring about the competition at all, but now I really want to win! So please, fingers crossed?

Was looking to brew an Irish Red for St Patricks Day. FG 1.009
Was a bit weaker than the recipe called for. Seems like it will be better after some time. But I had a Pattys day party and we drank it all. :)
Roasty, malt forward but dry finish. Modeled after Smithwicks, the "gold standard"
To-Brew List: Your favorite recipes to brew.Buy ingredients
This style should be crystal clear in the glass and shine ruby red when held up to a light. If you bottle condition, I recommend a two week secondary followed by pitching some English yeast like a half package of S-04 in the bottling bucket so the beer finishes nice and clear in the bottle.

Photo: Final day at school
For our final day at school, we had a fête (a party) to celebrate! We got all dressed up in our new Senegalese threads and I took photos with most of the ACI staff.
jerrejef: thank you
Today is my last and final day in Senegal. Tonight I say goodbye to my family and get on a plane and say goodbye to Senegal, maybe forever. I have lived through three months and eight days in Senegal, or 97 days, to be exact. I feel somewhat sad to be leaving but I also feel like it is time, like I am very ready to go. I am ready to go back to my family and my friends and comforts and food, but at the same time I am also ready to go forward to new places and new things. As of right now, I don't see myself ever coming back to Senegal, but you never know.
Yet I still feel extremely grateful for those 97 days and all that happened in them. There are so many reasons to say jerrejef:
Jerrejef to my family, for their openness and teranga, their willingness to let me into their home and into their lives for just a short time. Jerrejef to Dakar, for its chaos (the hectic scramble at the markets, the wild driving, the cows meandering across the six-lane highway) and for its calm (walking home in the evening listening to the call to prayer and watching birds surround the mosque, the emptiness of Sunday mornings). Jerrejef to all my friends in the city, who made me smile whenever I walked past, from the security guards near my house to Baye Fall who owned the boutik on my street. Jerrejef to all the strange and beautiful once-in-a-lifetime moments, like waking up at dawn on a ship steaming through the jungle or spending a few nights in a remote dusty village. Jerrejef to the hard moments, such as nearly passing out from dehydration or the worst baptism in history. Jerrejef to the delicious food of which I may never taste the exact same flavor again. Jerrejef to each one of those 97 days, 97 days where I learned half a dozen new things between waking up and going to sleep.
Jerrejef, suma waa ker! Jerrejef, sumay xariti! Jerrejef, Dakar! Jerrejef, Senegal! Jerrejef, jerrejef, jerrejef!
weccit: money (as in cash, i.e. bills and coins)
Paying for anything in Senegal can be a stressful and harrowing process, the need to bargain notwithstanding. It is enough to leave a newcomer boggled and frustrated and absolutely unable to buy the things they want or stuck buying a bunch of things they don't.
First of all, there seems to be absolutely no standardization of the currency whatsoever. Senegal uses the currency abbreviated CFA, pronounced "seefa," or also referred to as "francs," and it is a currency shared by several West African Francophone countries. One essential characteristic about this currency is the fact that it seems like whoever works at the mint decided to go ahead and make money in whatever denomination they wanted.
First of all, there is the fact that the largest bill is for 10 000 CFA, which is a relatively small amount. It would be as if the biggest bill in the United States was the 20 USD, which is an absolutely frustrating concept. Then there is the fact of the coinage, which is totally insane. Most commonly seen is the 100 CFA and the 200 CFA coin, which are both practical and make a lot of sense. There is also a 50 CFA coin, which is also useful. However, after that I get utterly confused.
For starters, there is both a 500 CFA paper bill and a 500 CFA coin. There is also a coin for 10 CFA, which comes to about 8¢ and is totally useless and has the weight of a plastic arcade token. And then, even though you thought you had all the bases covered, there is a 250 CFA coin, which makes no sense considering there are lots of 200 CFA and 50 CFA coins floating around. Honestly, if I came across a coin for 37 CFA or some random number like that, I wouldn't even blink an eye.
However, the most frustrating aspect of Senegalese life is the fact that you never have any change when you need it. Despite the cash economy, coins are extremely hard to come by and people hoard them like rations on the eve of World War Two. This is made even more maddening because the ATM, the most crucial tool for foreigners, only dispenses bills in 5000 CFA and even then you are lucky to get that and not a wad of 10 000 CFA, which is very unfortunate when you consider how many things on the street cost 1000 to 100 CFA. Most of the time, when you have a 10 000 CFA bill no one will even take it or be willing to exchange it.
Plus, people are extremely reluctant to change your money, and most of the time they will refuse, since they know full well that they will need the small change themselves. Even when you buy something, they will ask you first if you have any change and if you don't, it becomes a big deal, with shopkeepers going down the street to ask the other shopkeeper for a 1000 CFA bill, etc. The supermarket closest to my house never has any change, and too often I am stuck buying some cardboard-like cookies that I don't want since they won't give me my change for 100 CFA or whatever. Before you go anywhere you have to consider if you have the small bills or coins that the day's journey will require. The only reliable people who will change your bills for you are the guys who sell prepaid phone cards, and only because I'm friends with them, really.
And don't even get me started on the madness of trying to split a check. It makes you really miss the ease of a credit card.

añ: lunch, to eat lunch
Out of all the things that I am going to miss in Senegal, ceebu jenn—the traditional dish of rice and fish—is near the top of the list. It is without hesitation the best fish and rice I have ever had. The first time I ate it, I thought, I have never tasted these flavors in my whole life, and then all thought disappeared, submitted to the blank trance-like state that occurs when you are eating something amazing. Through the three and a half months I have been here I have not gotten tired of ceebujeen once.
Of course, there are some problems with ceebujeen. It is made with possibly the lowest-quality white rice I have ever seen in my whole life, the fish is like a graveyard of bones, the vegetables have been stewed to within an inch of their life and you can practically feel the sodium that is the result of a half-dozen seasoning packets. So despite these problems, why is ceebujenn so good? I have theory.
The theory is that ceebujenn is good because it is only for añ, the lunch meal. I have never had ceebujeen for any meal other than lunch, never at dinner. This works to the dish's advantage because of a truly insane aspect of Senegalese life—that lunch takes place at two or three o'clock in the afternoon. This fact is certifiably nuts because the only thing people eat for breakfast is dry, uninspiring bread with margarine or chocolate spread, which means that by noon or even ten o'clock, you are unbearably hungry. Thus, by the time lunch rolls around, you are going bonkers and absolutely ready to shove nearly anything down your craw, and in the crazed fog of hunger all the little annoying things about ceebujeen fade away.
And yet, I suspect that ceebujeen also is good simply because, fundamentally, it is good—a work of culinary genius. Under the watchful eye of the Senegalese woman, the horrible broken-grain rice that must be sifted for pebbles is transformed into the most flavorful rice I have ever tasted, exploding with the rich flavors of the broth of fish and vegetables in which it was cooked, so that you don't even notice the low quality of the grain. The vegetables provide a calmer taste and softer texture as a complement to the flavorful rice. And the fish, through being fried and then put in the sauce with veggies, is transformed from a mediocre, cheap, previously-frozen trash fish into a perfectly cooked poisson.
Maybe that is the beauty of ceebujenn, its real genius—the ability to take a bunch of subpar ingredients and to turn it into a culinary feast, a communal gathering, a delicious moment.

A beautiful detail from our hotel in Toubab Dialaw, Sobo Badé.
lutte: (French) a battle or a wrestling match, but in Senegal specifically refers to the traditional Senegalese wrestling
The first sign that today is the day of la lutte is when our bus rolls into Dakar from the south, towards the SICAP Baobab quartier (neighborhood) and passes the stadium. At least a hundred, if not two hundred people—nearly all men—are packed into chaotic and testosterone-fueled lines that barely resemble lines, inching forward into the stadium with anticipation and excitement. La lutte, says our driver definitively as he forces our way through the throng of spectators on either side of the road. When I get home, I will find my whole family crowded around the downstairs television.
The best comparison I can think of for the lutte's position in Senegal is sumo wrestling in Japan or the luchadors in Mexico, since it is half a sport and half cultural heritage. Even though it is broadcast on the main news channel and clearly has a competitive hunger, the lutteurs do not even vaguely resemble the modern American sports complex.
Real lutteurs, like the ones on the screen today, have the body of an NFL linebacker, with huge, oxen-like thighs and huge, round bellies. They look like they would make excellent pillows if not for a clearly muscley sturdiness. Their rounded and heavy bodies are accentuated by the fact that they wear nothing but tiny cloth diaper-like shorts and gris-gris, the amulets found in West Africa and said to bestow their wearers with luck. These amulets are usually little leather cubes on strings laced around the lutteurs' chubby biceps and hulking calves and under their big stomachs and looped over their shoulders and between their pendulous pectorals, as if to point out, in case you didn't already know, what big guys they are.
The rules for the lutte are simple and more similar to mixed martial arts than boxing, because in fact there are nearly no rules as far as I can figure out. The only goal is to get your opponent on the ground, with either his two shoulders or his hands and knees in the dirt.
The main match tonight is between two famous lutteurs that everyone knows, Ness and Sa Thies. I know that they are famous because shortly after the match has finished my brother's friend Ibou walks in and says, "Ah, Ness and Sa Thies!" the way an American might say "Ah, Michael Jordan!" when walking in on a basketball game.
The match itself is over in a matter of seconds. After a lot of posturing, the two huge men go at each other like linebackers, gripping each other and spinning around and throwing in what punches they can until finally Sa Thies gets one arm around Ness's neck and the other around his waist and swings his opponent to the ground. Sa Thies looms over Ness, who has both his hands planted in the dirt and his feet holding his body above the ground, and then Sa Thies leans in and throws in one hard punch to Ness's gut and the big lutter collapses to the ground.
Nene goes wild, screaming. Sa Thies! Sa Thies! She runs around the living room and slaps my knee and slaps Baba's knee and slaps Adnan's knee, clearly thrilled by the result. It was only nine seconds! What a match! She screams so loudly that my yaay comes down to watch, which is no problem since the channel goes on to show the replay nearly ten times, in slow motion, with heightened commentary in Wolof.
There is one image from the replays that I see again and again and cannot get out of my mind. After Sa Thies's decisive win, he sprints off and away to his hype men, who shower him with praise for the news camera interviews. However, it is at this moment that the camera cuts back to Ness. He sits back up, kneeling, his huge belly yellow from the dirt. Slowly, he raises a hand coated in yellow dirt to his face and touches his lips with one finger, as if he needs to make sure that the dirt is really on it. The look on his face is one of utter bewilderment, as if he cannot believe what has happened in those few seconds and why is he on the ground all of a sudden?
Later on, I realize why Ness's face has stuck with me all day. The look on his face is nearly exactly the one I feel like I have much of the time in Senegal.

Do You Get Stiff and Sore After Exercise?
This is the fifth article in my new series called Your Exercise GPA and today we discuss the importance of stretching which I have brought forward because like your strength exercises you should get into the habit of stretching from the start.
Regular stretching will reduce muscle tension and relax your body. It will improve coordination and increase your range of motion which helps to prevent injuries. Think about it this way, what are you told to do when rehabilitating an injury? The answer is to improve your flexibility by stretching and increase your muscle strength.
Your Stretching GPA
Give yourself the following GPA score:
4.0 – You focus on effective stretching each time you exercise.
3.0 – You stretch regularly though you know it could be more effective.
2.0 – You do some stretching but it is inconsistent and not very effective.
1.0 – You do no stretching at all.
How To Improve Your Stretching
- Stretching is not warming up! If you stretch before exercising make sure you warm up for at least 10 minutes.
- Stretching after exercise is definitely a good idea. You'll improve the flexibility of muscles that would otherwise be stiff and sore up and you'll be glad in your next workout.
- Stretching is especially beneficial for walkers and runners. It increases flexibility of the ankles, calves, hamstrings and hips which is important in improving performance and avoiding injury.
- The right way to stretch is a relaxed, sustained stretch for at least thirty seconds, where your attention is focused on the muscle being stretched.
- You should never experience pain stretching; if you do you should stop right away and get the ice out!
In the next article/video in the series we will discuss the importance of intensity. We will identify your Intensity GPA and I will give you some tips on how to improve your score. To make sure you receive this blog series you can subscribe below.
Until the next time remember my motto:
You don't have to be fit to start, but you do have to start to be fit and healthy.

Arctic Runoff Data Base (ARDB)
... in support of CliC and ArcticHYCOS
The Arctic and its hydrology play a central role in regulating the Earth's climate. The Arctic Ocean's water is unusually fresh in comparison with the remaining world's ocean system. Pathways and variability of freshwater circulation within the Arctic Ocean are still poorly understood, despite concerns regarding surface freshening in the North Atlantic and its influence on the global thermohaline circulation.
The Global Runoff Data Centre (GRDC) operates the Arctic Runoff Data Base (ARDB) to support programmes and projects of the United Nations and their special organisations in the Arctic region. The ARDB was established during the Arctic Climate System Study (ACSYS) from 1997 to 2003. The data set initially compiled for the ACSYS and CliC projects is continually updated. In the context of the Arctic-HYCOS project, the ARDB will be expanded continously to support the evolving Arctic-HYCOS basic network.
Technically, the ARDB forms a subset of the Global Runoff Database (GRDB). GRDB currently holds river discharge time series data from a total of 2,449 gauging stations in the arctic region with earliest records from 1877 and an average time series length of 37 years, with a range from 1 to 123 years. 1,043 stations feature daily data, and 2,188 stations monthly data. Access to ARDB follows GRDC's data policy of free and unrestricted but identified access and is limited to non-commercial applications.

Due to the fact that the laws and procedures for eviction change frequently, please direct all inquiries regarding the eviction process to the Tuscaloosa County District Court Clerk's Office – Civil Division. They can be reached at (205)349-3870.
Upon a final order for eviction being issued by the court, a deputy will contact the plaintiff and schedule a time and date for the set-out to occur. All evictions will be performed Monday through Friday between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. The purpose of a Deputy Sheriff's presence in the eviction process is to execute the court order and ensure that the set-out is done in a civil and orderly fashion. The Sheriff's Office does not remove the property from the residence and does not provide the labor for the set-out. The plaintiff in the action is responsible for sending adequate manpower to remove all personal belongings of the defendant from the residence in a timely fashion. All belongings of the defendant in the action are to be removed from the residence and placed on a curb or in the parking lot. The plaintiff can then change the locks and secure the residence finalizing the eviction process.
In the event of an order for the removal of a mobile home from a lot or parcel of property, it is the financial burden of the plaintiff in the action to pay for removal of the mobile home.
The Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office takes seriously the conduct of all individuals in its employ and holds all personnel to a high standard of service to the citizens we serve. The Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office Procedural General Orders are issued to all persons and are a guideline to assist not only in daily activities but also the Code of Conduct which is expected from each individual.
Any complaints submitted to the office will be thoroughly investigated and a written response will be made to the individual lodging the complaint. It is not necessary to know either the name of the officer or the unit number of the patrol car, as this information is readily available through our computer logs. So that we may have all pertinent facts made available for a complete investigation, we ask that all complaints be submitted in writing and not over the phone.
When this office receives a complaint, it is turned over immediately to Internal Affairs to be investigated. After all facts have been presented and their appears to be a violation of the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office Procedural General Orders, a Pre-Disciplinary Board is convened to review the alleged misconduct and their decision for any disciplinary action to be taken is then forwarded to the Sheriff. The Sheriff may concur with their decision but reserves the right to evoke further discipline if he deems necessary.
A Protection from Abuse (PFA) Order provides a legal option for someone who is being abused or threatened by an intimate partner, or former partner.

Early Friday morning a meteor screamed from the sky, creating a jagged contrail and exploding over a city in Russia's Ural mountains. Several dashboard cameras captured the amazing descent, while handheld cams recorded the jarring boom that seemed to set off every car alarm in central Asia.The footage taught me three important facts:
Kasey Locke is a bright, beautiful six-year-old girl. But she faces challenges most kids never will. At age three, Kasey was diagnosed with autism.When she started kindergarten at her Phoenix, Ariz., public school, Kasey's parents worked with school officials to incorporate a new learning method that worked well for her. When the school didn't apply these methods, her parents continued to tutor her after school.
The state of the union is "screwed."
I'm an avowed skeptic on anthropogenic climate change. Sure, humans might be responsible for some negligible shift in global temperatures. But these feeble contributions pale in comparison to those caused by the sun (e.g., changes in solar radiation) and earth (e.g., volcanic activity, weather patterns). I also believe that the climate is supposed to vary over time; this is to be expected, not feared.
We've been here before. A storm bears down on the media centers of the east coast. Reporters don silly parkas, galosh into the tempest and offer apocalyptic sermons about climate change. "Repent! The End is Nigh!"Because who would expect the northeast to get snow in February — it's unheard of!When I mock this predictable alarmism, Twitter lefties are quick to attack my blasphemy. "Y u hate sceince?! stoopid rethuglican!!1!" says an engaging fellow with an egg avatar and no followers. Yes, your piercing logic has swayed my scientific understanding, @m1tts4tard.
Laura Bledsoe wasn't that interested in politics of any kind, least of all conservative politics. The back-to-nature farmer would be considered a bit of a hippie to many traditional Republicans. But Laura's foray into community-supported agriculture has turned her into a Tea Party hero, highlighting a growing alliance between limited-government activists and small organic farmers.
So much for a mandate. As President Obama heads into his celebrated, historic and transformational second term, the American people are distinctly distrustful of the government over which he presides.For the first time ever, a majority of the public says that the federal government threatens their personal rights and freedoms. The Pew Research Center found that 53 percent of Americans view the feds as a threat while only 43 percent disagree.
Sizes of whole pickles are based on the diameter and the relationship of diameter to the count per gallon. Size designations, applicable counts, and diameters are outlined in Table II of this subpart. The diameter of a whole cucumber is the shortest diameter at the greatest circumference measured at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the cucumber…
National School Choice Week 2013 kicked off Friday night at a packed house in Phoenix, Arizona. The annual event, which this year runs from Jan. 27 to Feb. 2, highlights a diverse selection of educational options for all kids. It made sense to launch this year's effort in Arizona, a pioneer in school choice initiatives.With more than 7,000 attendees and thousands more watching online, this was the biggest kickoff ever for National School Choice Week. The occasion is just the first of more than 3,500 independently planned special events that will be held across all 50 states.

What Your BURN Worth?
Posted by healthyforhim
Ever try to Google what a workout is worth in calories burned? Early on, I did this often… I wanted to know just how many calories I was getting rid off for the time put in!
I type in …"30 Day Shred, how many calories burned."
I realized quickly that the numbers were inconsistent because the variables change. I wanted to believe it was 300-350 for level 3… but could that be possible?
Well actually…
Based on your height and weight, and your activity level – there are estimates, but they can't really tell you for sure… and I really wanted to know "for sure, for sure"…
So, for a year I've considered some type of HR monitor, that was able to calculate calories burned… but also percentage FAT calories burned… but with most things, it's hard to know which one, and why, etc. I just simply didn't have a whole lot of time to research it. (Seems I've had OTHER things stealing my time… Ahem)
In an effort to spice up my workouts a few months ago, I also purchased "TURBO FIRE"… it's a program by Beachbody (which this body is NOT beach worthy, those days are LONG gone… but that's beside the point!)
A new challenge sounded fun… and I wanted to try it. I figured it could be fun and I could mess up the moves in the privacy of my own home. I had friends that had tried it, and really liked it – but they encouraged me to get a HR monitor also – so I could compete with myself on calorie burns, etc. on the workouts.
I was in the for the challenge and ordered my set!
Honestly, I thought – "Come on, I've been doing Bob for a few years… surely I can handle this little blonde, jumping, mouth piece. How hard can it really be?"
Well, unfortunately for me, that prideful attitude didn't realize my body was going to be stepping down another few notches… and the workout became VERY difficult for me. IT wasn't because the workout is more difficult… but because my health was worsening, and I really was noticing.
I was no longer able to constantly move for 30-40 minutes without breaks. I was struggling to breath, and keep up. I dreaded working out, even more… so I took a little break from TURBOFIRE for a bit, and recollected my thoughts.
I originally planned to deviate from the program SOME, and do what I wanted to – in-between my other cross fit type workouts. I felt badly I was unable to complete (without slowing down, taking breaks or stopping) MOST of the workouts because they're so cardio based, which was suddenly my weakness. I actually felt better when I just did 20-30 minutes of Bob, but I missed my cardio too … I didn't want to give up on keeping my body moving.
I needed encouragement, and my NEW Polar Watch does just that!!
I liked seeing that although I burned over 400 calories with a 45 work out – it was only 9% fat calories…. versus when I burned 250 calories with Bob, it was almost 40% fat calories!! That's quite a difference, based on the type of workout – and it's good to know.
I no longer feel so badly about not doing tons of cardio right now… not to mention it's just plain hard for me to carry out on a daily basis, with the intensity I once had. I do it when I can, and the other days I'm happy burning some fat at a faster rate with TEAM BOB.
I highly recommend this type of watch if you can splurge and get one. They start around $100 (Christmas is just around the corner) It's been a fun motivator, and a good reality check on where my workouts are…
Do I feel like working out? Actually – most of the time… I don't. Most of us probably don't…. but I did really used to LOOK FORWARD to working out, if nothing else – for stress relief. I rarely feel that way anymore.
It's really hard… and I'd like to curl up into a ball. But God is reminding me that something is better than nothing, and just to do what I can. I have still been fitting in 4-5 workouts a week most weeks, so I'm grateful for that. They are probably HALF of the intensity of last year, if that… SO while that's a little frustrating, I feel confident I will get my strength/endurance and energy back to some degree – and I'll be welcoming it with open arms.
Peace out!
"And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father."
John 14:13
**If I may, ask for specific prayers this week… In the coming 5 business days my slide will finally be reviewed at the University of Chicago. Please pray with me, intentionally, that the pathologist will clearly see the celiac damage – so that part of this journey can be put to bed, as we wade through this next part for more answers. I know I don't need that piece of paper to tell me what I already know – but for the sake of it helping others avoid the mistakes that were made to my case… I'd like doctors to know… THIS is one of the major reasons why it's being under diagnosed.

Non-Fatal Strangulation
Non-fatal strangulation is the most lethal form of Intimate Partner Violence perpetrated against woman. The odds for homicide increase by 750% for victims who have been previously strangled, compared to victims who have never been strangled.
The abuser is saying "I am warning you. I can kill you at any time."
1 in 4 women have experienced IPV.
Of women at high risk, 68% have experienced near-fatal strangulation.
97% of women are strangled manually
38% of women have lost consciousness
35% of women who have experienced non-fatal strangulation have also been sexually assaulted/abused.
70% of women who have experienced non-fatal strangulation thought they were going to die.
50% of the victims of fatal strangulation do not have visible injuries.
There are 3 types of strangulation, all of which may cause unconsciousness or death. Unconsciousness or death occurs due to
- Blocking of the carotid artery: this prevents blood flow, thus oxygen, from reaching the brain
- Blocking of the jugular vein: this prevents the deoxygenated blood from exiting the brain
- The complete obstruction of the airway
According to Dr Bill Smock of the Louisville Metro Police department, only 5kg's of pressure need be applied to the carotid artery to cause acute death of the victim. 1.2kg's – 2kg's of pressure need be applied to the jugular vein in order to cause acute death, and 7.5kg's – 30 kg's of pressure need be applied to the vertebral arteries.
Death may also result from Anoxic (deprivation of oxygen) or Hypoxic (reduced oxygen supply) brain cell death.
Although death may not be an immediate consequence of strangulation, it may eventuate days, weeks or months later due to multi system organ failure, as well as Anoxic or Hypoxic brain cell death. Up till his point, a victim may present as healthy.
Furthermore, a victim could suffer various forms of stroke dependent on the injuries sustained.
Acute Thrombotic Stroke: this form of stroke is caused by a clot that has formed within the carotid artery.
Acute Embolic Stroke: the plaque in the arteries can break off and travel to the brain.
Delayed Cryptogenic Stroke: Cerebral infarcts (small localised area of dead tissue resulting from lack of blood supply). This can occur month to years of the injury has been sustained.
Another form of injury identified by Dr Bill Smock is Carotid Artery Dissection. This occurs when there are tears within the artery resulting in death, stroke or long-term therapy.
It is critical that a victim of strangulation, whether or not they have lost consciousness or have visible injuries, have an immediate medical assessment.
Signs and Symptoms of Non-Fatal Strangulation
- Memory loss
- Loss of consciousness
- Behavioral changes
- Loss of sensation
- Weakness of extremities

- Vision changes
- Droopy eyelids
- Bruising behind or bleeding from the ear
- Facial drooping or swelling

- Inability to seak
- Clearing of throat
- Coughing
- Drooling
- Swelling to throat (this may result in delayed death)
- Difficulty breathing (swelling of the throat)
- Respiratory distress
- Inability to breath
Those working with victims of IPV should be aware of
- Petechiae
- Red eyes
- Swelling to face or neck
- Swollen lips or tongue
- Difficulty breathing
- Difficulty speaking
- Redness, bruising or swelling to the neck
- Respiratory distress
If any of these symptoms are apparent the victim should be advised to seek urgent medical advice.

School Awards
School Games Mark
Sainsbury's School Games GOLD Award!
We are delighted to announce that we have achieved the School Games Mark Award once again for our work during the 2018/19 academic year. This follows on from our successful application for the award in 2017/18.
The School Games Mark is a Government led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success.
North Yorkshire Debating Competition
In June 2017, our Year Six debating team competed against seven other schools from across the county, presenting their arguments for and against the motion: "Is homework a waste of time?" Held at County Hall, Northallerton, the team pitted their wits against other schools brilliantly and a team of esteemed judges made their decision… After a short but tense wait, the team from Bedale Primary School was crowned North Yorkshire champions. One of the competitors, Michaela, said, "I was extremely happy to get into the final, but now I feel even more thrilled to have won this round!"
One year later, in the summer of 2018 our debating team once again reached the North Yorkshire Finals, this time debating the topic of children's use of social media. Unfortunately the team did not win again but presented their views clearly and articulately. A different group of pupils took part again in 2019, continuing what will hopefully become a long-standing tradition of taking part in this event.
Committed to ICT
Our school has pledged its commitment to national standards in ICT for all pupils.
Primary Science Quality Mark (PSQM) - Silver
May 2016
Science Quality Awards have been awarded to 154 infant, junior, primary, middle and special schools to celebrate a commitment to excellence in science teaching and learning. So far, since its national launch in 2010, over 1700 schools across the UK have achieved the award and Bedale Primary School is now the proud holder of the Silver award.
The Primary School Quality Mark scheme enables schools to work together to share good practice and is supported by professional development led by local experts. It encourages teacher autonomy and innovation while at the same time offering a clear framework for development in science subject leadership, teaching and learning.
The Primary Science Quality Mark is led by the University of Hertfordshire School of Education in partnership with the Primary Science Teaching Trust. It is supported by the Royal Society for Chemistry, the Ogden Trust and the Association for Science Education.
Jane Turner, PSQM National Director said: "Gaining a Primary Science Quality Award is a significant achievement for a school. The profile and quality of science teaching and learning in each of these schools is very high. Children are engaging with great science both in and outside the classroom, developing positive attitudes towards science as well as secure science understanding and skills. Science subject leaders, their colleagues, head teachers, children, parents and governors should be very proud."

|Hainan-themed float featured in anniversary parade
Hainan, China's largest pilot free trade zone and free trade port, showcased its distinctive culture and tourism attractions during a parade on Oct 1 in celebration of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
During the parade, a white float in the shape of a cruise liner featured designs inspired by several iconic places and things in Hainan, including the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center, the brocade of the Li ethnic group, the Hainan high-speed ring railway, and sailboats.
The three Miss Worlds on board the float were meant to represent the island province's openness and inclusiveness, while the Red Detachment of Women represents the idea that Hainan people should remain true to their original aspirations and keep their mission firmly in mind. Locals of the Li minority dressed in traditional costumes and holding tropical fruit were also a highlight of the float.
The float was put on a display at Beijing Olympic Park after the parade and it will make a return in the middle of October in Haikou.

Whether you're new to Traffic Director, migrating from a different Advanced Service, or a Traffic Director connoisseur, here's how to ensure you're using this unique and powerful tool to its full potential. No matter if you're managing just a few DNS records or you have a complex design, these three steps will help you optimize your configuration.
First, it's important to understand how Traffic Director makes decisions before you can make intelligent choices about configurations. The two major components of Traffic Director are Response Pools and Rulesets. Response Pools are your DNS records. Rulesets define how you want your records served. You can define Rulesets by both geographic area and by which records are available to serve. Monitoring is utilized to determine record availability, but we will mostly focus on Response Pools and Rulesets for now. Essentially, Rulesets are defining the behavior of your Response Pools.
When a DNS query is received, the source IP is analyzed against our geolocation data. Next, the appropriate Ruleset is matched and the corresponding Response Pool is used to provide a DNS response. It is important to note that the source IP is not the end-users IP but the recursive DNS server (resolver). The resolver is often operated by the ISP of the end-user.
Why is this knowledge so important? Let's say you have end-users accessing your site from Florida. Naturally, you would account for this by adding Florida to your Traffic Director geographic areas so they are served the closest DNS response. However, if the end-users actual location is in Florida, but their ISP's resolver is in South Carolina, you will need to account for this by having a geographic DNS response for South Carolina configured in your Traffic Director. This can be impossible to determine in some cases, so this is where a Fallback Entry can really save you.
Tip # 1 – Configure a Fallback Entry
Why do you need a Fallback Entry? A Fallback Entry is important because if the requesting resolver is outside of a geographic region you have defined within any Ruleset, the end-user will receive no DNS answer! The query will fail.
To prevent this from happening:
- Set up a Response Pool in your Traffic Director that has a Record Serve Mode set to "Always Serve."
- Make a corresponding Ruleset, but do not define a geographic area (this defaults to "all geographic areas").
- Place this Response Pool as the final entry in your Rulesets. In the event that a request comes from a resolver that is not geographically defined, you will still be able to serve a DNS answer.
Tip # 2 – Use a single Response Pool when you want to weight your endpoints
In addition to being able to route traffic based off resolver location, you can also use Traffic Director to load balance. If you would like to define weight for traffic between endpoints (your records), you will want to confirm they are configured within a single Response Pool. First, create a Response Pool and then add all applicable records you will want to serve in that Response Pool. You can then configure the Weight field.
Note: The higher the weight, the more often that record is served over other records of the same type.
It is important to remember that weighting does not apply to records in separate Response Pools, however, you can use the same record in multiple Response Pools.
Tip # 3 – The order of your Rulesets matters
Remember, Response Pools are the records you want to serve and Rulesets are how you want to serve them. In each Ruleset, you define the geographic areas for the behavior you are about to configure. Then you define the Response Pool Failover chain. The first entry in your chain should be your primary Response Pool you want to answer for the geographic area(s). The next entry in the chain is the DNS answer you want to serve in the event your primary isn't available. Same with the third and fourth entries, and so on.
It's also important to note that the order of your Rulesets matter. How so? Let's say you've defined the same geographic area in two different Rulesets. Which one would take precedence? This is where the order of your Rulesets matter. Rulesets are served top to bottom. This is another reason why it's important to configure your Global Fallback Ruleset as the last in the chain. If you were to configure this first with no geographic area defined, all of your geographic areas would receive this response first! The Global Fallback Ruleset, if configured as the final Ruleset at the bottom, will only be served in the event that the other Rulesets have no answer (such as a query from an undefined geographic area or all pools in your Failover Chain are unavailable). You can move the order of your Rulesets easily by modifying the Ruleset Ordering.
These three tips are an excellent start to confirm you're getting the most out of your Traffic Director. Now it's time to turn these tips into a reality in your own instance of Traffic Director. The specific steps to implement these and other configurations can be found by reading help.dyn.com.

Normally around this time of the year, the Militant heads over in an unspecified direction on his bike to Echo Park to partake in the three-decade-old Angeleno tradition known as the Lotus Festival. After all, he was there in 2007 (all three days, even!) and 2008.
But this year, due to the budget you-know-what and the apparent lack of lotus plants in the lake (see for yourself - pictured right), there was to be no "Lotus Festival" per se in 2009.
Enter the Echo Park Chamber of Commerce, who stepped in and put on the "Echo Park Community Festival" as a surrogate to the great Lotus Festival.
The Militant wanted to check it out. Before anyone did any planning, word was that it would be, by all accounts, a "Scaled-Down Version Of The Lotus Festival."
When the Militant arrived, it certainly sounded like the Lotus Festival - the sound of music coming from the main stage, the combined murmur of a crowd, children playing and the midrangey call from the microphone at the information booth.
There was also some Lotus Festival infrastructure to be found, especially in some of the EPCF's signage, which happened to be the signage used in the Lotus Festival.
The community health and nonprofit outreach booths along n the western shore of the lake looked the way they usually do, with most of the same groups present. The area in the northwestern corner of the lake, which recently hosted crafts and plant vendors, along with the garden exhibition - not so much.
The festival's midsection of crafts and merchandise vendors also looked the same, along with the Children's Area. The central portion, again, not so much. The large performance stage was replaced by a tiny little tent.
The crowds were noticeably smaller, but not scant. The good thing about the smaller crowd was that it was that the lines for all the food vendors were much smaller, or even nonexistent. The bad thing, well, of course the vibrant human energy that once propelled this park every early July was definitely not there.
The Militant definitely had mixed feelings about this. What was once a cultural festival, enjoyed by all cultures seemed 50% a reproduction of that (the Children's Area stage featured a few Asian/Pacific Islander cultural dance and martial arts performances from previous Lotus Festivals, but the main stage lacked the familiar timbres of Chinese erhus or the rhythms of Japanese taiko drumming. In its place was a DJ playing reggae music and a bunch of indie rock bands (with the expected tight jeans and ironic mustaches abound!).
The Militant is starting to get it now -- the gentrified Echo Park (the one that claims this area is "The Eastside") is now staking its cultural claim. You saw it coming.
Of course, the sounds of the gentrified Echo Park already has its own venue, where anyone can go to watch the hip-stars play each and every night of the week, but for many of the artists and performance groups from the Lotus Festival, they have clearly lost a venue and an audience.
To the Militant's surprise, he spotted a handful of Los Angeles City Recreation and Parks staff, who normally run the Lotus Festival, managing the Children's Area stage. When the Militant told them that he didn't expect to see them here, one of them replied, "We didn't either!" The unspecified RAP staffer also explained to the Militant that although the community's Chamber of Commerce was running the show, Mayor Villaraigosa didn't want to let this thing go completely and insisted that a certain number of RAP staff work this festival. After all, the park is still a City facility.
And those of you wondering about the dragon boat races? Despite the symbolism used in the EPCF logo, no dragon boat racing for you! But there will be a fireworks display, albeit on Sunday night and not on Saturday night (the Militant, originally planning to stick around past dark, found this out on Saturday and decided to leave not long after learning about the new fireworks night). So if you wanna get some more of your July pyrotechnics on and listen to the "Echo" in "Echo Park," get here by 8:30 p.m. The Militant may or may not be there.
The Echo Park Chamber should be commended for putting on something, though there was an energy, tradition and anticipation that was clearly missing here. The Lotus Festival may or may not return next year, but if history is an indicator, it has gone off-line before, in the late '70s and mid-'80s. The Militant, and many other Angelenos, anxiously await its return.

Understandable concern over expanded concealed-carry law.
It was no surprise to hear a local judge seek more time before moving forward with a new state law that allows people to bring guns into public buildings.
The law that goes into effect July 1 allows carrying concealed handguns into state, county and municipal buildings unless those facilities invest in new security measures, such as metal detectors or security guards, to try to keep all weapons out.
Concealed weapons still could be banned through 2017 in many public buildings, so long as beefed-up security plans are made public.
Wendel Wurst, chief judge of the 25th Judicial District, cited valid concerns when he asked the Finney County Commission for a six-month exemption of the county courthouse to allow time to determine whether security measures other than metal detectors are available.
Wurst noted there would be considerable cost involved in implementing new security as a way to remain free of concealed weapons � which should be the goal.
He wanted time to see if some kind of reasonable alternative might materialize.
In asking for the six-month exemption � which county commissioners approved � Wurst made a case that echoed concerns of many who would rather not have citizens packing heat in public places. In doing so, he expressed sensible thinking that has eluded many others � namely an ultraconservative Republican regime at work in Topeka � who believe more guns would somehow help combat acts of violence.
As Wurst explained, courtrooms often see emotionally-charged situations when people experience significant changes in their lives. Also, someone who has committed a violent act in the past might not think twice about committing a crime in the courthouse.
Such concern extends to many public places where emotions may run high, be it a courthouse, city hall or other setting.
If someone is intent on causing harm, they'll usually get the job done. As much as gun rights activists would insist otherwise, more people with firearms won't guarantee protection, but would increase the risk of accidental shootings. People with limited experience in handling weapons could make a bad situation worse.
Folks on the front line at public buildings should indeed be worried.

Grist Gives James Inhofe Top Marks on Climate Change Transparency - Other Senators Don't Fare So Well

There's little to commend Oklahoma Senator James "Climate Change is a Hoax" Inhofe on when it comes to his views on the environment and energy policy -- but at least you know where he stands on them. For other senators things aren't so clear. Based on their websites, their stated positions aren't exactly front and center. In fact, Grist surveyed them and found them decidedly lacking:Inhofe Has Strong Opinions & He'll Tell You About Them
OK. I lured you in with the James Inhofe bit and Grist does indeed give him an 'A' for the clarity of his climate change position:
There's a clear link to his views on energy and environment policy from the homepage, climate is prominently included in that; his view on the scientific consensus on climate change is spelled out, as is whether he thinks cap and trade is needed, and action on climate more broadly; on other green issues, the only ones which Grist surveyed on which Inhofe didn't stake a clear opinion were mountaintop removal coal mining, green jobs training programs, and tax breaks for installation of renewable energy.
Other Senators Less Clear on Where They Stand
As for the other 98 senators surveyed (Al Franken wasn't included as he didn't have a site yet), clear expression of energy and environment policy didn't seem a priority -- over half received a grade of C or worse and 25 senators didn't even mention the subject directly on their websites. About two-thirds ventured an opinion on cap and trade.
Overall, senators from the Pacific states (including Hawaii and Alaska) and those from the Northeast fared the best; those from the South and Southwest fared the worst.
Democrats scored slightly higher than Republicans for the their eco-transparency, but only slightly -- Dems had an average score (out of 25 total points) of 14.5, while Repubs averaged 11.9.
A clear majority of senators were willing to state their opinion on increasing funding for renewable energy and biofuels. About half put their position on clean coal clearly out there, fewer (40) addressed expanding nuclear power. A mere nine senators would stake out a position on mountaintop removal coal mining -- and only two from states directly affected by it.
Some Will Tell You What They Think..
At the top of the class were Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Christopher Dodd (D-CT) Johnny Isakson (R-GA), John Kerry (D-MA), and the aforementioned Inhofe.
...And Some Will Tell You What You Want To Hear
Standing on the bottom rungs: Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Thad Cochran (R-MS), Roland Burris (D-IL), Jim Webb (D-VA), and Tom Harkin (D-IA).
In total, if clarity of environmental position were a college course, 50 senators would have failed.

Santa Rosa County Commissioners will again seek a local-option sales tax (LOST) in November to fund the building of a new courthouse on a site that has yet to be determined. The LOST would come on the heels of a gas tax implemented Jan. 1 that brought the taxes paid on gas from 6 cents to 12 cents. The gas tax must be used for road maintenance and upkeep. The referendum language for the LOST must be complete by June 1 and then Sept. 2 for the November ballot.
