Record the number of people who can and the number of people who free and attached earlobes and answer the following questions:
What is the ratioof the number of individuals with free earlobes to the number of attached earlobes.
What can you conclude from this ratioabout the probabilities of trait of free earlobes appearing in the human population? Focus your discussion on the ratio of free to attached earlobes and what it might tell you about how the trait is inherited. (Do NOT discuss the value or effect of attached versus free earlobes).
Why is it important that the individuals in the survey were unrelated? How would a sample of related individuals affect the results?

Digital voltmeters often have a choice of ranges. The rangesindicated on a typical voltmeter are 0-3, 0-30, 0-300, and 0-3000AC volts. The output is represented with four significant digits.Determine the resolution uncertainty for each range. If it has anaccuracy of ±2% of full range for each range, determine theabsolute uncertainty of measurement in each case.
I'm not sure what the difference between resolution uncertainty andabsolute uncertainty is.. or how to find them. I've read thechapter and looked at both examples in the book.

Daniel Handler and Maira Kalman have received the American Library Association's Printz Award for their collaborative work Why We Broke Up. The full article, partially transcribed below, can be found here.
- Several award winners turned to song to accept their honors at this year's American Library Association conference.
- On Monday evening, Handler and Kalman received a standing ovation at the Michael Printz Awards ceremony. The Printz Award is given annually to the best-written book for teens; several honor — or runner-up — books also are usually chosen.
- In accepting their Printz Honor for "Why We Broke Up," Handler and Kalman performed a deadpan ditty underlining the importance of librarians "from cradle to grave." Handler, also known for writing "A Series of Unfortunate Events" under the pseudonym Lemony Snicket, played the accordion and sang, while Kalman provided "percussion" by tapping shoes on a tabletop, popping a plastic bag, etc.
Another article, transcribed below, focused more on Handler's song and his love of libraries, and included a video of his performance. The full article can be found here.
- Everyone has a story about being saved by literature and at a recent Friends of the San Francisco Public Library event, author Daniel Handler (a.k.a. Lemony Snicket) shared his tale, saying that he "can't imagine a world without libraries."
- His library love began as a child, where there was hardly a day he wasn't visiting the West Portal Branch. As a teen, he was a regular at the Merced Branch Library and even kept bookmarks in books he "didn't have the guts to check out."
- As an adult, Handler spends much of his time at the Eureka Valley Branch, which is where he wrote most of his newest novel, Why We Broke Up, adding that:
- I would mostly work with headphones on. One day the batteries went off and I took out my headphones and realized that suddenly, I was surrounded by exactly the sort of people whose voice I was trying to capture. It was a really diluted moment where I spent weeks trying to cover up the noise of teenagers so I could really get the voice of a teenager.
- To properly illustrate his love for libraries and where we'd be without them, he wrote and performed a song about the importance of libraries to people of all ages–children, teens and adults!


Play and meaty food reduce hunting by cats
Play and meaty food reduce hunting by cats

Domestic cats hunt wildlife less if owners play with them daily and feed them a meat-rich food, new research shows.
Hunting by cats is a conservation and welfare concern, but methods to reduce this are controversial and often rely on restricting cat behavior in ways many owners find unacceptable.
The new study—by the University of Exeter—found that introducing a premium commercial food where proteins came from meat reduced the number of prey animals cats brought home by 36%, and also that five to ten minutes of daily play with an owner resulted in a 25% reduction.
"Previous research in this area has focussed on inhibiting cats' ability to hunt, either by keeping them indoors or fitting them with collars, devices and deterrents," said Professor Robbie McDonald, of Exeter's Environment and Sustainability Institute.
"While keeping cats indoors is the only sure-fire way to prevent, some owners are worried about the welfare implications of restricting their cat's outdoor access.
"Our study shows that—using entirely non-invasive, non-restrictive methods—owners can change what the cats themselves want to do.
"By playing with cats and changing their diets, owners can reduce their impact on wildlife without restricting their freedom."
Play in the study involved owners simulating hunting by moving a feather toy on a string and wand so cats could stalk, chase and pounce. Owners also gave cats a toy mouse to play with after each "hunt", mimicking a real kill.
It is not clear what elements of the meaty food led to the reduction in hunting.
"Some cat foods contain protein from plant sources such as soy, and it is possible that despite forming a 'complete diet' these foods leave some cats deficient in one or more micronutrients -prompting them to hunt," said Martina Cecchetti, the Ph.D. student who conducted the experiments.
"However, meat production raises clear climate and environmental issues, so one of our next steps is to find out whether specific micronutrients could be added to cat foods to reduce hunting.
"We also plan to investigate whether different kinds of play have different effects, and whether combining strategies can reduce hunting even further."
The study—based on a 12-week trial of 355 cats in 219 households in south-west England—also examined the effect of existing devices used to limit hunting by cats.
Colorful "Birdsbesafe" collar covers reduced numbers of birds captured and brought home by 42%, but had no effect on hunting of mammals.
Cat bells had no discernible overall effect—although the researchers say the impact on individual cats varied widely, suggesting some cats learn to hunt successfully despite wearing a bell.
Lisa George, from Helston in Cornwall, who looks after Minnie, a three-year-old tabby cat who took part in the trial, said: "Minnie loves to hunt. More often than not, she will bring her prey home and let it go in the house. We've had birds in the bedroom, rats in the waste paper bin (which took us three days to catch), rabbits in the utility room.
"On changing Minnie's food (previously supermarket own-brand), to Lily's Kitchen, I found she hardly hunted at all. This continued the whole time she was on this food. I can honestly say I couldn't believe the difference as regards her hunting behavior."
George Bradley, from project sponsors SongBird Survival, said: "This latest study we have funded is excellent news for birds.
"The data show that cat owners (like me) can make a few small and easy steps to really improve the health and happiness of our pets as well as make a really big difference for all our wildlife, especially our beloved songbirds.
"Making these easy-to-implement changes will be a win-win for birds, cats and cat owners."
Dr. Sarah Ellis, Head of Cat Advocacy at iCatCare, which is part of the advisory group for this research project, said: "We are really encouraged by the findings of this study.
"While many cat owners are wildlife lovers and find the killing and injuring of wild animals by their cats upsetting, many owners also feel that keeping their cats indoors or restricting their outdoor access would impact negatively on their cats' quality of life.
"At iCatCare, we are particularly excited about the positive effects of play—this is an activity that owners can easily introduce at no or little cost, takes little time and is very cat-friendly.
"The mental and physical stimulation of predatory-like play are likely to help keep a cat in tip top condition and provide an appropriate behavioral outlet for its predatory behaviors."
Dr. Adam Grogan, Head of Wildlife at the RSPCA, welcomed the results of the study.
"The RSPCA cares for both and wild animals and we want to provide advice to cat owners that will benefit both cat and wild animal welfare," he said.
"This project provides us with alternatives for cat owners that are simple and effective and so easy to adopt."

Instrument-Based vs. Target-Based Rules
We study rules based on instruments vs. targets. Our application is a New Keynesian economy where the central bank has non-contractible information about aggregate demand shocks and cannot commit to policy. Incentives are provided to the central bank via punishment which is socially costly. Instrument-based rules condition incentives on the central bank's observable choice of policy, whereas target-based rules condition incentives on the outcomes of policy, such as inflation, which depend on both the policy choice and realized shocks. We show that the optimal rule within each class takes a threshold form, imposing the worst punishment upon violation. Target-based rules dominate instrument-based rules if and only if the central bank's information is sufficiently precise, and they are relatively more attractive the less severe the central bank's commitment problem. The optimal unconstrained rule relaxes the instrument threshold whenever the target threshold is satisfied.

Social security system in Slovakia
In Slovakia, the social security coverage is based on the occupational activity, not on the residence. The system falls under the competence of the Ministry of Employment, Social Affairs and Family of the Slovak Republic. The Social Insurance Agency and Central Office of Labour, Social Affairs and Family of the Slovak Republic are the executive bodies.
The social security system in Slovakia is made of three main components:
- Social insurance - its basic role is the protection of the economically active population in different situations. Employees and self‑employed persons meeting the conditions regarding the amount of income are mandatorily insured. Social insurance is financed by contributions and administered by the Social Insurance Agency (SIA).
- Social assistance - allows people in situations of material deprivation to receive substitute resources from the state in the form of services and benefits.
- State social support - which is devised to address particular life situations, including the birth of a child, child care, death of a family member and others. The allowances provided within this system are financed directly from the state budget. The entitlement to the social support is usually based on the permanent or temporary residence in Slovakia and does not depend on the income of the family or the economic activity of a person and his/her family members. Specific conditions must be fulfilled for obtaining a particular allowance.

Tutorial: Optimize indexing with the push API
Azure AI Search supports two basic approaches for importing data into a search index: push your data into the index programmatically, or pointing an Azure AI Search indexer at a supported data source to pull in the data.
This tutorial explains how to efficiently index data using the push model by batching requests and using an exponential backoff retry strategy. You can download and run the sample application. This article explains the key aspects of the application and what factors to consider when indexing data.
This tutorial uses C# and the Azure.Search.Documents library from the Azure SDK for .NET to perform the following tasks:
 - Create an index
 - Test various batch sizes to determine the most efficient size
 - Index batches asynchronously
 - Use multiple threads to increase indexing speeds
 - Use an exponential backoff retry strategy to retry failed documents
If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a free account before you begin.
Prerequisites
The following services and tools are required for this tutorial.
Download files
Source code for this tutorial is in the optimize-data-indexing/v11 folder in the Azure-Samples/azure-search-dotnet-samples GitHub repository.
Key considerations
Factors affecting indexing speeds are listed next. You can learn more in Index large data sets.
 - Service tier and number of partitions/replicas - Adding partitions or upgrading your tier increases indexing speeds.
 - Index schema complexity - Adding fields and field properties lowers indexing speeds. Smaller indexes are faster to index.
 - Batch size - The optimal batch size varies based on your index schema and dataset.
 - Number of threads/workers - A single thread won't take full advantage of indexing speeds.
 - Retry strategy - An exponential backoff retry strategy is a best practice for optimum indexing.
 - Network data transfer speeds - Data transfer speeds can be a limiting factor. Index data from within your Azure environment to increase data transfer speeds.
1 - Create Azure AI Search service
To complete this tutorial, you need an Azure AI Search service, which you can create in the portal. We recommend using the same tier you plan to use in production so that you can accurately test and optimize indexing speeds.

2 - Set up your environment
 1. Start Visual Studio and open OptimizeDataIndexing.sln.
 2. In Solution Explorer, open appsettings.json to provide connection information.
{
 "SearchServiceUri": "https://{service-name}.search.windows.net",
 "SearchServiceAdminApiKey": "",
 "SearchIndexName": "optimize-indexing"
}
3 - Explore the code
Once you update appsettings.json, the sample program in OptimizeDataIndexing.sln should be ready to build and run.
This code is derived from the C# section of Quickstart: Full text search using the Azure SDKs. You can find more detailed information on the basics of working with the .NET SDK in that article.
This simple C#/.NET console app performs the following tasks:
 - Creates a new index based on the data structure of the C# Hotel class (which also references the Address class).
 - Tests various batch sizes to determine the most efficient size
 - Indexes data asynchronously
 - Using multiple threads to increase indexing speeds
 - Using an exponential backoff retry strategy to retry failed items
Before running the program, take a minute to study the code and the index definitions for this sample. The relevant code is in several files:
 - Hotel.cs and Address.cs contains the schema that defines the index
 - DataGenerator.cs contains a simple class to make it easy to create large amounts of hotel data
 - ExponentialBackoff.cs contains code to optimize the indexing process as described in this article
 - Program.cs contains functions that create and delete the Azure AI Search index, indexes batches of data, and tests different batch sizes
Creating the index
This sample program uses the Azure SDK for .NET to define and create an Azure AI Search index. It takes advantage of the FieldBuilder class to generate an index structure from a C# data model class.
The data model is defined by the Hotel class, which also contains references to the Address class. The FieldBuilder drills down through multiple class definitions to generate a complex data structure for the index. Metadata tags are used to define the attributes of each field, such as whether it's searchable or sortable.
The following snippets from the Hotel.cs file show how a single field, and a reference to another data model class, can be specified.
. . .
[SearchableField(IsSortable = true)]
public string HotelName { get; set; }
. . .
public Address Address { get; set; }
. . .
In the Program.cs file, the index is defined with a name and a field collection generated by the FieldBuilder.Build(typeof(Hotel)) method, and then created as follows:
private static async Task CreateIndexAsync(string indexName, SearchIndexClient indexClient)
{
 // Create a new search index structure that matches the properties of the Hotel class.
 // The Address class is referenced from the Hotel class. The FieldBuilder
 // will enumerate these to create a complex data structure for the index.
 FieldBuilder builder = new FieldBuilder();
 var definition = new SearchIndex(indexName, builder.Build(typeof(Hotel)));
 await indexClient.CreateIndexAsync(definition);
}
Generating data
A simple class is implemented in the DataGenerator.cs file to generate data for testing. The sole purpose of this class is to make it easy to generate a large number of documents with a unique ID for indexing.
To get a list of 100,000 hotels with unique IDs, run the following lines of code:
long numDocuments = 100000;
DataGenerator dg = new DataGenerator();
List<Hotel> hotels = dg.GetHotels(numDocuments, "large");
There are two sizes of hotels available for testing in this sample: small and large.
The schema of your index has an effect on indexing speeds. For this reason, it makes sense to convert this class to generate data that best matches your intended index schema after you run through this tutorial.
4 - Test batch sizes
Azure AI Search supports the following APIs to load single or multiple documents into an index:
Indexing documents in batches will significantly improve indexing performance. These batches can be up to 1000 documents, or up to about 16 MB per batch.
Determining the optimal batch size for your data is a key component of optimizing indexing speeds. The two primary factors influencing the optimal batch size are:
 - The schema of your index
 - The size of your data
Because the optimal batch size is dependent on your index and your data, the best approach is to test different batch sizes to determine what results in the fastest indexing speeds for your scenario.
The following function demonstrates a simple approach to testing batch sizes.
public static async Task TestBatchSizesAsync(SearchClient searchClient, int min = 100, int max = 1000, int step = 100, int numTries = 3)
{
 DataGenerator dg = new DataGenerator();
 Console.WriteLine("Batch Size \t Size in MB \t MB / Doc \t Time (ms) \t MB / Second");
 for (int numDocs = min; numDocs <= max; numDocs += step)
 {
 List<TimeSpan> durations = new List<TimeSpan>();
 double sizeInMb = 0.0;
 for (int x = 0; x < numTries; x++)
 {
 List<Hotel> hotels = dg.GetHotels(numDocs, "large");
 DateTime startTime = DateTime.Now;
 await UploadDocumentsAsync(searchClient, hotels).ConfigureAwait(false);
 DateTime endTime = DateTime.Now;
 durations.Add(endTime - startTime);
 sizeInMb = EstimateObjectSize(hotels);
 }
 var avgDuration = durations.Average(timeSpan => timeSpan.TotalMilliseconds);
 var avgDurationInSeconds = avgDuration / 1000;
 var mbPerSecond = sizeInMb / avgDurationInSeconds;
 Console.WriteLine("{0} \

July 2019 is the 70th Anniversary of the De Havilland Comet inaugural flight, designed by Sir Geoffrey de Havilland and built in Hatfield. It was the first ever jetliner to go into commercial service beating the Boing 707 by 6 years. This anniversary serves as a timely reminder to the importance it had with the development of international air travel and the impact on resurrecting the economy at the time just after WW2 which left the United Kingdom with a depleted population and economy.
Designed and built in Hatfield the Comet's sleek, smooth lines were especially aesthetic with the four jet turbine engines set into the base of the wings near to the fuselage. This gave excellent stability and doubled the speed of any commercial aircraft at the time with half the noise of the equivalent piston engine propelled aircraft. The Comet would fly higher than 30,000 feet above most weather conditions and air turbulence where the air is thinner enabling the engines to run more efficiently.
To celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the flight of the Comet various businesses and groups have organised talks, exhibitions and sporting events which will be held across Hatfield.
The Galleria and Potential Kids have organised a Partner's exhibition in the centre from the 20th to 28th July. The exhibition will include photos of the Comet, paintings by local artist and fantastic hand made models of planes which local school children have been busy making.
During the week children can also take part in a Scavenger Hunt in The Galleria. All they need to do is pick up an Activity Booklet from the exhibition area and search for the planes hidden in some of the stores. Then once they have found all the planes they must fill in their details on the activity booklet and post it in the special box. The prize draw will take place on Saturday 27th July and the winner will be notified by telephone. Good Luck!

An architectural principle, and critic of pattern-driven structures.
Introduction
I came to realize that the popular wisdom on good practices is flawed, and most of 101 articles on any pattern or framework are relying on flawed beliefs.
My goal is to expose these flaws by reviewing with you conventional project structures, analyze the origin that contributed to their wide spread use, and explore alternatives.
In this article, the domain refers to a set of concepts in the business you are helping with your software. (Accounting, Finance, HR, Health etc…)
The Domain Space
Every concepts belongs to a space I call the domain space. In this space there is distance between concepts, closer concepts depends more on one another than farther concepts.
As the domain space exists purely in your imagination, you intuitively understand that Accounting, Money and Finance are closer to each other than Finance and Kittens.
But, what is not imagination is your code, which is nothing but a projection of the very same concepts into other spaces:
 - File system space : where the distance between two files is the number of directory you need to browse to go from one to the other
 - Data space : where the distance between two data is the hamming distance.
 - Class space : where the distance between two classes is equal to the length of the shortest path in the dependency graph.
 - Project and namespace space : you can also calculate the distance with the dependency graph.
The definition of the best architecture is the following :
The relative distance between concepts in all of these spaces are equal the the relative distance in the domain space.
In plain English: if Kittens and Finance are very far concept, don't put them in the same directory and don't reference Finance in Kitten's class.
The problem is that the domain space does not exist, it is in our imagination, this is why the best architecture is not the best for someone else : you don't have the same domain space, this is not a code problem, but a communication problem.
The more similar your domain space is from the one in the collective intelligence of the people who will use your software the better.
If two developers share the same domain space, they will always agree on the best architecture. There is no place for taste.
Refactoring happens when your domain space is changing : The one from the collective intelligence of your user change rarely, but yours change quickly at first, then slowly with time. This is learning, a human process identical for everyone. Your knowledge will eventually converge and, hopefully, be close to the one from the collective intelligence.
Refactoring is the process where we project the new domain space in a code that already exists.
With all of these definition I can finally define coupling and coherence, and why high coupling might be good (or bad):
Coupling : The closer two **** are in the **** space, the more tightly coupled they are.
Coherence : The coupling between three **** are relatively equal with their projection in the domain space.
Replace **** with class/project/namespace/file.
If Finance references Kittens, then Finance and Kittens are highly coupled but it is not coherent.
If Finance references Money, then Finance and Money are highly coupled and coherent.
Finance should be lowly coupled to Kittens (better : not coupled at all since I don't see any path in the dependency graph !), this would be coherent.
Maximize coherence do not minimize coupling.
Things that change together must stay together
First observation : The structure of a project reflect the focus of its creators.
Second observation : I almost never see a structure reflecting the domain
Conclusion : Few developers are focusing on the domain, they focus on design patterns or frameworks instead… The resulting structure is pattern-driven, not domain-driven.
As an example of this non sense take the default ASP.NET MVC project and compare the distance in the File system space :
image
Stop doing that
The distance AccountController-Login and AccountController-Register are equal, this is coherent.
But why AccountController-Login is equal to AccountController-Error ? This is not coherent.
The same observation holds with AccountModel-Login/Register/Error.
How to fix the coherence problem ?
Move AccountController and AccountModels in the Views/Account folder.
I explained in comments why I think MVC Areas are a pain killer but not medicine.
Why calling a folder "Views" when you can find Models and Controllers inside ?
So you delete the Views folder, and it leaves you with a project's structure, more aligned with the domain.
image
Yes, you need to use extensibility points from ASP.NET MVC to support such structure, this is not hard, but require to understand ASP.NET MVC a little more, I address this point later on.
We are lucky enough to not have JavaScript files spread inside Scripts for account management, or we would need to do the same.
ASP.NET MVC is not the only culprit, I've lived enough WPF project with this structure
image
Stop doing that
For simple projects, just putting everything in the same folder is as much coherent and even better, because it is more easily usable because the ViewModel file is right next to the View file, you don't have to browse the whole project each time.
Things that change together share the same domain concept so keep them together, not far apart.
A comment made a good point : When two classes are in different layers, they share the same domain concept but do not change together. This is an interesting remark I should have talked about.
In this article, I focus only on a single layer. Two classes in different layers should not change together even though they share are near on the domain space.
The Model in MVC is not in the business layer, but UI Layer. A model in MVC is different from an Entity of the business layer. (As Eric Evan talk about in DDD)
Why pattern-driven structures exist
Some of you may object : Such structures are best practices made by developers that know their craft.
If you can only justify things because it's how somebody else did, you first need to take a step back think, and come with your own arguments.
Question : Who is the customer of the ASP.NET MVC team ?
Response : You are.
They are doing exactly what you should do when coding for a customer : structuring the project with the domain concepts of your customer.
This has sense here because we are the customer, we, developers, we know what is a Views, ViewModel, or Model, and if we don't we need to learn these concepts to code properly.
But then, our customer is not a developer, so we need to change the structure to reflect his domain, there is no way that ASP.NET team anticipate this structure. The only thing they can do is to provide extensibility points… which they did great.
Another reason is teach ability : the distinction between Model/View/ViewModel is easier to teach when you save them in separate folders.
Remember, when you learn something from code you build your own domain space from the code, so, the closer the code your are studying from the domain space you want to learn, the better.
Bad reason to use pattern-driven structure in production
Some are tempted to use these pattern-driven structures directly in production.
Designers don't care about the code, just the view, so it's better if the views have their own folders.
First your assumption is that the designer of the view and the developer are not the same person, which is only true for company having enough money to pay separate people to do their tasks. Which is only true for big companies.
Even with this assumption, the argument does not hold :
The designer needs to know the URLs he can use in forms, and the fields he can fetch from the model. So he will most likely need to read the model and the controller files.
In this case, the best way is to arrange them next to the view file.
The learning curve is smooth for new developers, most of them know how MVC works.
It is true that getting the structure you want in ASP.NET MVC is harder than just creating the view in the default folders. But new developers do not need to code this part. Using extensibility point of ASP.NET MVC is better handled by experimented developers or architects one time for all. The infrastructure code do not change that much.
The time new developers will take to learn a new, simple structure, is largely compensated by the time they earn each day searching for files in the solution.
Yes, I know about all of great VS features to browse quickly with every keyboard shortcut you want, but if you are concerned about the learning curve for new developers, then the odds are high that they don't use keyboard shortcut at all…
Experimented developers will grasp thing in less than 10 minutes.
Conclusion
We should respect project templates made by other developers, it is a great way to start and learn a project. But we should not consider their conventions as best practices.
Their goals is to teach you how the framework works, when you know that you need to learn how to adapt it to reflect your

3848 LAKE STREET URBAN STREAM PROJECT
City of Canning
In collaboration with the Water Corporation, the City of Canning proposed to convert a section of the existing Cockram Street Main Drain into an Urban Stream. The Cockram Street Main Drain is situated between Cecil Street and Lake Street. The site is approximately 200 m long and 17 m wide at its widest point.
The City of Canning commissioned 360 Environmental Pty Ltd to undertake stormwater modelling to determine the site's pre-development hydrological regime and assist with the validation of post-development designs.
The channel was initially designed to contain and convey discharge from a 3- year Average Recurrence Interval (ARI) storm. It is located in a City of Canning commercial area. Therefore, it must contain the 10- year ARI storm, as per Water Corporations current operating licence requirements.
This study aims to confirm the pre- development hydrology of the site and then validate the landscape designs proposed, to convert the site into an Urban Stream. The modelling's main objective is to demonstrate that the drain's post-development design can contain the minor (10% AEP) flows within the channel.
The pre-development environment was modelled to determine the topwater levels and flood extent in the small minor and major rainfall event in the first stage. The upstream inflow hydrographs and downstream water level information were provided by the Water Corporation, which was then added to a 1D hydraulic model to evaluate if the pre-development site was able to retain the minor rainfall event within the channel. The decision was made to remodel the site using a 1D-2D linked hydraulic model, which was able to predict not only topwater levels in a range of rainfall events but also the areas and extents of breakout flows.
The second stage of modelling was conducted to analyse the changes to the small, minor and major storm events' topwater level to determine if the new design allows the channel to meet the design criteria.

A new world record wind gust: 253 mph in Australia's Tropical Cyclone Olivia
The 6,288-foot peak of New Hampshire's Mount Washington is a forbidding landscape of wind-swept barren rock, home to some of planet Earth's fiercest winds. As a 5-year old boy, I remember being blown over by a terrific gust of wind on the summit, and rolling out of control towards a dangerous drop-off before a fortuitously-placed rock saved me. Perusing the Guinness Book of World Records as a kid, three iconic world weather records always held a particular mystique and fascination for me: the incredible 136°F (57.8°C) at El Azizia, Libya in 1922, the -128.5°F (-89.2°C) at the "Pole of Cold" in Vostok, Antarctica in 1983, and the amazing 231 mph wind gust (103.3 m/s) recorded in 1934 on the summit of Mount Washington, New Hampshire. Well, the legendary winds of Mount Washington have to take second place now, next to the tropical waters of northwest Australia. The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has announced that the new world wind speed record at the surface is a 253 mph (113.2 m/s) wind gust measured on Barrow Island, Australia. The gust occurred on April 10, 1996, during passage of the eyewall of Category 4 Tropical Cyclone Olivia.
Figure 1. Instruments coated with rime ice on the summit of Mt. Washington, New Hampshire. Image credit: Mike Theiss.
Tropical Cyclone Olivia
Tropical Cyclone Olivia was a Category 4 storm on the U.S. Saffir-Simpson scale, and generated sustained winds of 145 mph (1-minute average) as it crossed over Barrow Island off the northwest coast of Australia on April 10, 1996. Olivia had a central pressure of 927 mb and an eye 45 miles in diameter at the time, and generated waves 21 meters (69 feet) high offshore. According to Black et al. (1999), the eyewall likely had a tornado-scale mesovortex embedded in it that caused the extreme wind gust of 253 mph. The gust was measured at the standard measuring height of 10 meters above ground, on ground at an elevation of 64 meters (210 feet). A similar mesovortex was encountered by a Hurricane Hunter aircraft in Hurricane Hugo of 1989, and a mesovortex was also believed to be responsible for the 239 mph wind gust measured at 1400 meters by a dropsonde in Hurricane Isabel in 2003. For reference, 200 mph is the threshold for the strongest category of tornado, the EF-5, and any gusts of this strength are capable of causing catastrophic damage.

Cohen, 1999, "The Impact of Tropical Cyclone Olivia on Australia's Northwest Shelf", paper presented at the 1999 Offshore Technology Conference in Houston, Texas, 3-6 May, 1999.
Why did it take so long for the new record to be announced?
The instrument used to take the world record wind gust was funded by a private company, Chevron, and Chevron's data was not made available to forecasters at Australia's Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) during the storm. After the storm, the tropical cyclone experts at BOM were made aware of the data, but it was viewed as suspect, since the gusts were so extreme and the data was taken with equipment of unknown accuracy. Hence, the observations were not included in the post-storm report. Steve Buchan from RPS MetOcean believed in the accuracy of the observations, and coauthored a paper on the record gust, presented at the 1999 Offshore Technology Conference in Houston (Buchan et al., 1999). The data lay dormant until 2009, when Joe Courtney of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology was made aware of it. Courtney wrote up a report, coauthored with Steve Buchan, and presented this to the WMO extremes committee for ratification. The report has not been made public yet, and is awaiting approval by Chevron. The verified data will be released next month at a World Meteorological Organization meeting in Turkey, when the new world wind record will become official.
New Hampshire residents are not happy
Residents of New Hampshire are understandably not too happy about losing their cherished claim to fame. The current home page of the Mount Washington Observatory reads, "For once, the big news on Mount Washington isn't our extreme weather. Sadly, it's about how our extreme weather--our world record wind speed, to be exact--was outdone by that of a warm, tropical island".
Comparison with other wind records
Top wind in an Atlantic hurricane: 239 mph (107 m/s) at an altitude of 1400 meters, measured by dropsonde in Hurricane Isabel (2003).
Top surface wind in an Atlantic hurricane: 211 mph (94.4 m/s), Hurricane Gustav, Paso Real de San Diego meteorological station in the western Cuban province of Pinar del Rio, Cuba, on the afternoon of August 30, 2008.
Top wind in a tornado: 302 mph (135 m/s), measured via Doppler radar at an altitude of 100 meters (330 feet), in the Bridge Creek, Oklahoma tornado of May 3, 1999.
Top surface wind not associated with a tropical cyclone or tornado: 231 mph (103.3 m/s), April 12, 1934 on the summit of Mount Washington, New Hampshire.
Top wind in a typhoon: 191 mph (85.4 m/s) on Taiwanese Island of Lanya, Super Typhoon Ryan, Sep 22, 1995; also on island of Miyakojima, Super Typhoon Cora, Sep 5, 1966.
Top surface wind not measured on a mountain or in a tropical cyclone: 207 mph (92.5 m/s) measured in Greenland at Thule Air Force Base on March 6, 1972.
Top wind measured in a U.S. hurricane: 186 mph (83.1 m/s) measured at Blue Hill Observatory, Massachusetts, during the 1938 New England Hurricane.

Developing an Emic Scale to Measure Ad-Evoked Nostalgia in a Collectivist Emerging Market, India
Although there has been recent interest in the measurement of advertising-evoked nostalgia, the dimensionality and generalizability of the related scales are restricted to the national/cultural boundaries of Western nations. In the present study, we develop an emic scale to measure ad-evoked personal nostalgia in an important emerging economy, India, refining and purifying the scale with seven separate studies (with a combined sample size of 1823). The resulting scale contains five dimensions: past imagery, physiological reactions, positive emotions, negative emotions and collective nostalgia. In the present study, we follow rigorous scale development procedures, and we also go beyond by comparing the effectiveness of our emic scale with a previous scale developed in France (etic), and subsequently we test our measure in another (culturally-congruent) market – Bangladesh. Our study emphasizes the need for culture-specific measures (emic), and we present important theoretical and managerial insights. © 2019 Elsevier Inc.

In a German text, describing Russian sentences for Germans, they wrote a Russian sentence and after it
(zu Deutsch: …)
That means its translation, but why did they write "zu Deutsch" instead of "ins Deutsche" or "auf Deutsch"?
share|improve this question
that's a weird use but not unheard of. "Auf" and "in" or just "Deutsch" would be better in my opinion – Emanuel Dec 28 '13 at 20:34

One might add that sometimes, especially in colloquial use this phrase is used to indicate that a simplifying explanation is to come.
E.g. in a presentation:
"Multivariate Regressionsanalyse der Umsatzstruktur hat ergeben, dass das Geschlecht den Haupteinflussfaktor für den Erwerb von Cola Light ggu. Cola bildet. Zu Deutsch: Cola Light wird fast ausschließlich von Frauen gekauft."
In this context it would be similar to plain english
share|improve this answer
Good example. In this sense (simplifying explanation), you would hardly use "auf Deutsch" (but possibly "auf gut Deutsch"). This somewhat explains, why you would never say "zu Englisch", as it doesn't simplify anything for a German speaker. – Martin Drautzburg Jan 9 '14 at 3:11
Well, some time ago it was not that rare. Just leaving this here:

This is perfectly fine. The Duden explains zu Deutsch with auf Deutsch [heißt das]. It is also mentioned in the 21st edition of the book as „das heißt auf/zu Deutsch" (p. 210). Maybe it is considered a little old-fashioned these days, but I hear and read it quite often.
I haven't heard it as zu Englisch or in connection with other languages.

Patient IDs window
The Patient IDs window of the Plan Menu is where you enter the patient's name and other optional identifers.
In the Toolbar across the top of the window you may optionally set plan submission and approval dates which are stored in the treatment plan file. Note: if you open an existing treatment plan and change these dates be sure to resave the plan in order to preserve the changes.
In the Patient group, enter at minimum the Patient name. This field must not be empty. Fields with red titles indicate essential patient identifiers that are either empty or incomplete. For all other fields, values entered here supersede any available preference settings which would otherwise be substituted for empty fields. Labels for the two user definable fields can be saved as preference settings from the preferences users tab and can be superseded here for the current patient.
In the Plan revision and commentaries group you can select a plan revision number and enter an explanation of each revision. Revisions are timestamped at the time of creation. You may manually edit the revision timestamp. You may optionally enter commentary for each plaque. The PSID value is a unique timestamped identifying code that PS creates for each new patient. This value can be used to search the database for entries associated with a patient, even if there have been revisions to the patient name. It is recommended to allow PS to manage the PSID code, although you may create a new ID if needed. The Plan name field is empty by default. It is recommended to allow PS to manage the plan name. See below for additional explanation of plan names.
The Plan time zone defaults to your preferences time zone setting and is saved in the treatment plan file.
In the Plan status group you can flag a plan as being a preplan and/or as having an unknown plaque location.
In the Parent Folder Comments group you may optionally set the file system metadata comment of the parent folder of the treatment plan (.iplan6) file to indicate when a plan was submitted and/or approved. You can display these metadata comments in the MacOS Finder settings (e.g. control-click or right-mouse-button-click on the column headers when in Finder list view and enable comments display).
You may optionally drag and drop a picture of the patient or eye onto the "eyedentity" image well control located near the bottom-center of this window. This picture may optionally be included on the first page of the treatment plan document.
PS version 6.7.7 adds Tesseract OCR capability to Plaque Simulator. Clicking the Take Screenshot button sends the keyboard shortcut shift-command-control-4 to the MacOS which initiates a screen capture-to-clipboard session. The patient ID window now polls the clipboard once per second to see if anything has changed. If a screenshot is found on the clipboard, it will be passed to the OCR engine which will first look for possible dates in the OCR results, and if it doesn't find a valid date, it will convert the entire OCR result to text. Any text identified by OCR will replace the screenshot on the clipboard. Note: You may also use keyboard shortcuts (e.g. command-c) to copy text from another application such as a.pdf reader, word processing program, email or similar to the clipboard, or enter the shortcut shift-command-control-4 to manually initiate a screen capture session.
Text on the clipboard is checked every time the Patient ID window updates and is analyzed for valid date sequences. It's best to keep screen captures and text on the clipboard to the most compact size possible to minimize the computational overhead. If a valid date format is identified, the paste button for DOB will activate. If no date is identified, the entire text becomes available to paste into the various text fields. Convenience paste buttons will activate for patient name and MRN. Use the keyboard shortcut command-v to paste into any other text field.
For example, the format for DOB should ideally be of the short format 10/31/1952 (or its European or ISO equivalent) with no time specified, but alternative formats are also recognized. If a date that includes time of day is detected, such as '10/31/1952 08:00 am', it will also be made available to paste into the plaque insertion control of the Rx window as well as the patient DOB control.
Saving plan variations: Plaque Simulator's (PS) SQLite database is keyed to the patient name. The database is updated whenever a plan is saved. The recommended way to save plan variations so they can be tracked in the database is to change the patient name slightly. For example, change "John Doe" to "John Doe_Rev2". The Plan revision menu automates this for you.
The Plan name field is empty by default for a new patient. The recommended action for users is to allow PS to manage the plan name. Patient plans are saved as "file packages" which are actually folders which appear to be files. PS will automatically generate a plan package based on the patient name. Plan packages end with the extension ".iplan6" which will be automatically appended for you. For example, if you enter the patient name "xxxxx", Plaque Simulator will automatically save the plan as a package named "xxxxx.iplan6". You can use the plan name field to save alternative plans for the same patient, but the database will always associate the most recently saved plan with each patient's name.


the files. Make sure your HTTP daemon has writing permission in the directory.
 - Location specifies the URI information. You need to specify DAV provider as "repos".
Second configuration job is creating DB and tables for mod_dav_dasl. DB which is already exist for other usage is reusable for Catacomb, but creating a new DB for Catacomb is strongly recommend. You can create new DB using the mysqladmin command:
<shell>mysqladmin create repos
This command will create DB named repos. There are several tables used by Catacomb. You can create tables by importing table.sql in the Catacomb source directory using this command:
<shell>mysql repos < table.sql
You might need -u and -p options for MySQL, if you specified a database user for the DB. Finally, you need to import data for your root information of the Catacomb enabled directory. In our example, the directory name is /repos. If you specified different directory name, you need to edit data.sql in the Catacomb source directory. Also, if you have more than two directory directives for Catacomb, you need to import data.sql several times with different directory data. This is the example of data.sql.
INSERT INTO dasl_resource VALUES
(1,'','/repos',651165539,'(null)','(null)',0,'httpd/unix-directory',
'(null)',1014759103979654,'(null)',1,0,'(null)',1,2,NULL,'_PHONE_');
Make sure the third arguments in the example (/repos) is same as your Location in httpd.conf. You want to import the data.sql using this command:
<shell>mysql repos < data.sql
3.5 Fire your Apache.
<shell>/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start
4. DASL Clients
If you want to test your DASLed server very quickly, the simplest and best way is using telnet. Do telnet to your server and the port. Let's suppose our DASLed server is ocean.cse.ucsc.edu and port is 7777. We can test by typing the OPTION method:
ocean 10> telnet ocean.cse.ucsc.edu 7777
Trying 128.114.51.104...
Connected to ocean.cse.ucsc.edu.
Escape character is '^]'.
OPTIONS /dasl/ HTTP/1.1
Host: ocean.cse.ucsc.edu
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 08 May 2002 09:16:13 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.6 (Unix) DAV/2 DASL/0.1
DAV: 1
DAV: <_URL_
MS-Author-Via: DAV
Allow: OPTIONS,GET,HEAD,POST,DELETE,TRACE,PROPFIND,PROPPATCH,COPY,MOVE,SEARCH
DASL: <DAV:basicsearch>
Content-Length: 0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
If you can see SEARCH method in Allow field in the response, your DASLed server is working properly.
4.1 Read/Write resources
Unfortunately, you can not copy resources or make directory directly like usual Apache file system directories, since Catacomb use MySQL to save all resources and their data. So you need to use Web-DAV client to read/write your resources in the DASLed server. There are many WebDAV client programs. You can use one of these client and read/write your resources. If you want to only read your resources, a web browser are a good tool. For more information about WebDAV software, visit the WebDAV resource site.
4.2 Search
So far, there is not many DASL clients. When we write this HOWTO, cadaver DASL patch is on developing. The cadaver client will support DASL, when you read this HOWTO. Hopefully there will be lots of DASL clients very soon.
5. Trouble shooting.
If your DASLed server doesn't work properly, reading error_log in the Apache's log directory is good idea. Here are simple check lists:
 - Did you configure Apache with --enable-so, --enable-dav and --enable-dbd option?
 - MySQL demon is running before Apache server is running?
 - Did you specify the right DB information in httpd.conf?
 - Temporary directory which is specified httpd.conf is readable and writable?
 - ...
6. Conclusion
Catacomb project is just started, so we have lots of thing to do and to improve though. I hope Catacomb and this HOWTO could help your Internet environment.

This study evaluates the price setting behavior across main cities of Pakistan by employing the micro data from retail price survey. The most contemporary research technique of Duration Analysis is employed where survivor functions are estimated by most illustrious nonparametric Kaplan-Meier and Nelson-Aalen Estimators. Hazard Functions for various product groups are also estimated by employing parametric Weibull Hazard Model. Results confirm that perishable food items have shortest duration of one week for most of the spells, where government regulation caused prices to change more frequently. It is found that on average small cities faced lower hazard and thus comparably lesser price change, whereas, months of March, April and October witnessed relatively high hazard rates. The study classifies nine commodity groups into two categories. First is high frequency group and second is increasing hazard group. These classifications are believed to assist policy makers in assessing inflation dynamics in Pakistan. The study significantly contributes to the existing literature, firstly, by applying more scrupulous nonparametric and parametric techniques of Survival analysis. To the best of our knowledge, this technique is not yet applied in Pakistan for examining the price behavior. Secondly, as the price setting mechanism in Pakistan is not studied before by employing the high frequency micro price data, therefore, panel data estimation contribute significantly to the existing literature.

Making Vocab Connections
Word walls used to be a term heard only in elementary schools. Nowadays it is more common that teachers of all grade levels are finding them effective and worthwhile for their students to develop and reinforce content area vocabulary.
In 2011, The National Research Council (NRC) developed A Framework for K-12 Science Educationwhich identified practices of science and engineering that were essential for all students to learn. One of the practices involved students obtaining, evaluating and communicating information. It states:
Any education in science and engineering needs to develop students' ability to read and produce domain-specific text. As such, every science or engineering lesson is in part a language lesson, particularly reading and producing the genres of texts that are intrinsic to science and engineering. (NRC Framework, 2012, p. 76)
By using a word wall in the science classroom, the teacher increases access to domain-specific text and can refer the students to it often. Teachers should have students interact with the word wall to help develop concepts and demonstrate content mastery. This can occur by adding arrows to show sequence, or group words together by categories. By interacting with the word wall often, students will start making connections between the current science concepts they are learning as well as previously learned science topics.
It's important when making word walls that a picture or illustration is used alongside the vocabulary term to serve as a visual cue. This is especially important to your English language learners who have been shown to benefit from increased exposure to print and language.
Limited Space? Get Creative!
Sometimes wall space is limited in the classroom, forcing teachers to get creative. One of the most unused real estate in the classroom is the ceiling – start building your students vocabulary above their heads. At least when all faces are turned toward the sky, you'll have immediate feedback that the word "ceiling" is in use.
Using the back of the classroom door or fronts of cabinets will still allow students to see and interact with the scientific terminology. However, words will need to be changed between each chapter or unit, so make it easy on yourself and place Velcro strips on surface and backs of cards for clean and easy exchange.

Continuing our series, Mark Rowe explores the streams and hillside landscape of Craflwyn, Eifionydd in north Wales.
Streams shape and influence the landscape of Snowdonia. Along this walk on the Craflwyn estate you'll come across many streams that feed into three small rivers, the Afon Gorsen, the Afon Cwm Llan, and the Afon y Cwm, which in turn feed into the larger Glaslyn river.
Streams make the scale of the area very intimate even though it is dominated by such big mountains. "From a landscape point of view, streams add variety. One day they will be raging, the next they will just be a trickle. The change in appearance this gives to the landscape is magical," says Doug Don, area ranger for Craflwyn.
As you climb the Watkin Pass – a key route for those making for the summit of Snowdon - you pass the Afon Cwm Llan. This is set to be the National Trust's largest hydro scheme in Wales and is sufficient to power all the Trust's large homes in Wales.
The streams that feed the Afon Cwm Llan also make for wonderful pools. Often transient, and formed by the positioning of a single stone or boulder, such pools are glorious retreats on a hot day and are popular for paddling.
The streams above the Afon Cwm Llan – beyond the scope of this walk – are home to ancient populations of brown trout thought to be genetically linked to trout in the highlands of Scotland. "They became separated as the mountains moved up and sea levels dropped," says Sabine Nouvet, National Trust wildlife officer for Snowdonia.
As you cross the bog beyond the river, following the Watkin Pass, keep an eye out for otters that can often be seen in the gullies and little streams that feed through the landscape, looking for eels. The route then heads west and passes through the old mine workings. The walk continues across a second river that drops down to the farm of Hafod a Porth, where a pretty waterfall awaits as you enter the Craflwyn estate. This is the hafod where in winter, the stock would descend to the hendre (main farmstead) in the valley.
On all sides are the remains of old copper mine shafts, while further below you can pick out mullock heaps and abandoned mine buildings and workings. The mines have long closed – the last shut in the late 1800s – and today they are home to bats and choughs. Due to the copper, the streams and rivers on this section of the walk are sterile, though they are a breathtaking shade of turquoise. And even though the streams are lifeless at this point (further downstream the copper is diluted, and salmon and trout return again), the boulders here are shaded and give rise to plenty of mosses.
The streams of Craflwyn are harder to reach than rivers and its fields are among the last places that have not been grazed by sheep. "This means we can find remnant plants that you don't find in other places, such as starry saxifrage and valerian," says Sabine.
Craflwyn's bedrock is typically acidic but where there are cracks caused by alkaline rock emerging, streams will gravitate towards them to nourish alkaline-favouring plants such as meadowsweet and primroses.
The medicinal St John's Wort plant is found among the streams as well as willows which are known as a source of asprin. Alders, which grow out of the water, are also among the streams. They were once valued for the charcoal they produced which could be turned into high quality gunpowder.
1. From the Bethania car park (just off the A498) join the Watkin Path. Head up through the oak woodland towards Cwm Llan.
2. Once out of the oak woodland, stick to the gravel path until you reach a waymarker which directs you south-west along a path towards Bylchau Terfyn.
3. Continue along the path until you reach a wall. Climb over the stile which brings you into Bylchau Terfyn.
4. Follow the way-marked route through this quiet valley. The walk takes you over another wall within 0.75 miles (1.2km). Once over this wall, head through the heather to the highest point of the walk.
5. As you walk downhill you emerge on an old cart track. Continue along the track until you reach a stile. Once over the stile turn immediately to the right towards the river. Cross the river taking care over the stepping stones until you reach another stile.
6. Once over the stile follow the waymarked route which leads you down to Craflwyn Hall and the end of the walk.

New Education Website Panned
Laramie, Wy – The Wyoming Department of education says a new website can be helpful, but they say it should not be the gospel when it comes to how well students are doing in the state. The website called school matters-dot-com is a product of Standard and Poor's. It is intended to help citizens see how education locally and statewide compares. Citizens may also make a similar comparison across the country. But that makes state school officials concerned because of the way some of the numbers are compiled. Vince Meyer of the Wyoming department of education says state officials have tried for years to separate out specific subject areas, so that parents and others can see how students are doing. Meyer says this website takes a different approach. (In Wyoming) we have a reading section, a writing section and a math section. They (Standard and Poor's) have collapsed all of that down into a single score, not only across subjects but also across grades.
Meyer says that makes it difficult to accurate comparisons and comparisons in context. However, Meyer still thinks there is enough information on the site that people can get some use from it.

Icelandic settlers honoured in Kinmount
On October 6th a presentation of a special window dedicated to the memory of the 352 Icelandic settlers, who resided in Kinmount Ontario under extremely dire circumstances from fall 1874 to fall 1875 took place. This window will be placed in the old sawmill currently being restored in the village. This was the first settlement of a large group of Icelanders in Canada and sadly it ended with tragic consequences where many Icelanders lost their lives, in particular young children.
This commendable effort to honour the memory of the settlers from Iceland in Kinmount was led by the Honorary consul of Iceland in Toronto, Gail McCreery – Einarson, the artist and sculptor Gudrun Girgis, whose sculpture "In Presence of a Soul", dedicated in the memory of the Settlement was unveiled in 2000 in Kinmount and Don Gislason, a writer on the history the Icelandic settlement in Kinmount and elswhere. The Icelandic Canadian Club of Toronto was the main supporter of this initiative.
Picture as seen from the left: Thordur Aegir Oskarsson, Ambassador of Iceland to Canada, Gudrun Girgis sculptor, Diane Austin, Chairperson, Kinmount Committee for Planning and Economic Development.

Sun dogs and Icebows
By Russell Russ
The month's low temperature of 5 degrees below zero was observed on January 3. The high temperature of 57 degrees was observed on January 8. The average temperature this month was 25.0 degrees. This was 4.7 degrees above the normal January average. A wind chill temperature of 26 degrees below zero was recorded during the early morning of January 3.
The low temperature of 5 degrees below zero observed during the early morning of January 3 tied a record low for that date. It was also 5 degrees below zero back on January 3, 1981. Four days later on January 7 we tied a record high temperature for that date with 52 degrees, the same high temperature that was recorded back in 1946. The 57 degrees observed on January 8 set a record high for that date, beating the old record high of 52 degrees set back in 1937.
The total precipitation recorded for the month was 2.37 inches. This was 1.64 inches below normal. Interestingly, December's total precipitation was exactly 1.64 inches above normal. There were a few flashes of lightning and rumbles of thunder on the morning of January 11. January's snowfall total was 19.2 inches which was 2.5 inches below normal. The snowstorm that began during the late evening of January 13 and ended during the day on January 14 was by far the biggest, dumping a total of 9.8 inches at the station. As in December, there was a snow cover on the ground at the station every day this month. The snow cover ranged from a low of just 3 inches to a maximum of 13 inches with a daily average of 9 inches.
A beautiful icebow was observed on the morning of January 3. A unique phenomenon, which also occurred to a lesser extent on January 22, that generally occurs in colder climates. When the air temperature is very cold and there are high thin clouds the light from the low on the horizon sun refracts through the ice crystals in the clouds resulting in a band, or bow, of color. A parhelion, or sun dog, is formed under somewhat similar circumstances, but only appears as a colored luminous spot to either side of the sun. When conditions are right a parhelion can form on both sides of the sun. At the weather station this month there were seven days when a parhelion was observed.


Are Disentangled Representations Helpful for Abstract Visual Reasoning?
Sjoerd van Steenkiste, Francesco Locatello, Jürgen Schmidhuber, Olivier Bachem
A disentangled representation encodes information about the salient factors of variation in the data independently. Although it is often argued that this representational format is useful in learning to solve many real-world down-stream tasks, there is little empirical evidence that supports this claim. In this paper, we conduct a large-scale study that investigates whether disentangled representations are more suitable for abstract reasoning tasks. Using two new tasks similar to Raven's Progressive Matrices, we evaluate the usefulness of the representations learned by 360 state-of-the-art unsupervised disentanglement models. Based on these representations, we train 3600 abstract reasoning models and observe that disentangled representations do in fact lead to better down-stream performance. In particular, they enable quicker learning using fewer samples.
