![]() ![]() The image above shows the pumping of water out of New Orleans. All of the health concerns for New Orleans came from the amount of flood water because there was so much of it, that it was an optimal breeding ground for mosquitoes and the water covered everything making nothing truly safe. The concern that people were going to get sick because of contaminated food or water also weighed heavily on people's minds. The medical centers were either destroyed or in utter disarray and power was lost for quite awhile. ![]() With the flooding came all new types of bacteria from the open water, leaving New Orleans with little to defend itself. Outbreaks of West Nile, mold, and endotoxin levels rising were the biggest concerns. ![]() The main health effects of Hurricane Katrina had to deal with the amount of water left behind in New Orleans. It continued up to the Great Lakes, weakening until it became a frontal zone (August 31). It was still a hurricane near Laurel, Mississippi, but became a tropical depression over the Tennessee Valley (August 30). The center made landfall near Buras, Louisiana (August 29) and continued north. It then moved southwest across southern Florida and into the eastern Gulf of Mexico (August 26). Tropical Storm Katrina became Hurricane Katrina just before it made landfall near the Miami-Dade/Broward county line (August 25). It continued through the northwestern Bahamas (August 24-25) and then went westward towards southern Florida. It then moved northwest, becoming Tropical Storm Katrina. Katrina began about 200 miles southeast of Nassau in the Bahamas. You can visibly see the eye of the storm. The colors in the image so the the intensity of the storm. This led to the integrity of the buildings to be compromised, leaving people homeless and worries to arise about the places refugees were going to stay when the water was all pumped out of the city.Ī look at Hurricane Katrina before it hits land near New Orleans. The pumps used to rid the city of the water, were not working and because they couldn't be replaced, had to be repaired. Many structures were completely destroyed and those that weren't destroyed by the hurricane, most likely had to be destroyed because of how long the flood waters were there. ![]() Close to 90 percent of the city was flooded, some parts of the city under 20 feet of water. New Orleans, Louisiana was devastated by Hurricane Katrina. This in turn caused molds to grow, endotoxin levels to rise, little clean drinking water, spoiled food, West Nile virus concerns, and many other causes for a person to be sick. Hurricane Katrina brought with it flood waters, the loss of power, little livable space left, and a breeding ground for mosquitoes. With any natural disaster, comes concerns for human health. Hurricanes are natural disasters that have unfortunately been on the rise as the years have gone on. Nothing can truly stop these types of storms, all one can do is know what to look out for and how to protect themselves as best as they can. The water left from the storm left little clean water to use, buildings completely destroyed, and the public at a loss for words. It devastated New Orleans and caused many health concerns for the public. Hurricane Katrina was one of the strongest storms to hit the United States coast within the last 100 years. ![]()

![]() ![]() I created this example because there don’t seem to be many r packages with flexible outputs for tree diagrams. Taking the sum of all probabilities multiplied against their associated business outcome, Gracie calculates expected values for revenue, cost, and profit for her lemonade stand operations. She then uses her demand function to calculate revenue, cost, and profit expectations for each scenario based on: The least likely outcome is rain with a temperature of 95☏ (p=0.014). There is a probability of 0.396 associated with this. The most probable outcome is to have no rain and a temperature of 85☏. Gracie translates these probabilities into a tree diagram to get a better sense of all potential outcomes and their respective likelihoods. Probability of no rain: p(no rain) = 0.28įurther, she knows the temperature fluctuates widely depending on if it rains or not.When it rains, demand falls an additional 20% across the temperature spectrum. To generate a more realistic view of her business, and to inform ingredient purchasing decisions, Gracie collected historic data to help her better anticipate weather conditions. Glasses of Lemonade =−100+1.7×Temperature She has even estimated a demand equation based on temperature. Not surprisingly, people buy more lemonade on hot days with no rain than they do on wet, cold days. It didn’t take Gracie long to realize that weather has a huge impact on potential sales. It is a lot of work to prepare the stand and bring the right quantity of ingredients, for which she shops for every Friday after school for optimal freshness. Each Saturday, she sells lemonade on the bike path behind her house during peak cycling hours. You can find the single-function solution on GitHub. We start with a simple example and then look at R code used to dynamically build a tree diagram visualization using the ee library to display probabilities associated with each sequential outcome. A tree diagram can effectively illustrate conditional probabilities. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is the older model, but it comes with more security benefits for enterprise companies.

Another list popped up, showing items like aspirin and Chapstick. Overdue books.” He went back to the map and clicked on the word Drugstore. A click on the word Library pulled up another list. What am I supposed to do there?” he asked. He pulled up a map of his route home, with stops along the way. “But there’s another thing I can do,” he declared. He moved the items up and down the list with simple clicks, organizing produce with produce, canned goods with canned goods, dairy with dairy. ![]() Next, Engelbart pulled up a shopping list onto the screen: apples, bananas, soup, beans. “Oh, I need a name,” he explained, and titled it “Sample File.” He showed that he could copy the text-and paste it again and again. He announced that he was going to save the document. “If I make some mistakes, I can back up a little bit,” he noted, proudly showing off his new delete function.

HAL didn’t give its users a way to write, design or collaborate on documents.Įngelbart didn’t just come up with the notion of using computers to solve the urgent and multifaceted problems facing humanity. It could play chess and make small talk with crew members (and ultimately sabotage the whole mission), but its job was still to compute numbers and run systems. Even in the futuristic 2001: A Space Odyssey, which came out in April 1968, the HAL 9000 was an enhanced version of the same thing. Most programmers of the day used punch cards to carry out quantitative tasks like tabulating census data, writing banking code or calculating a missile’s trajectory. His goal was to speak directly to other engineers, showing them that they could use computers in new ways to solve complex human problems.

Romane or cos lettuce type has an elongated head, while butterhead type has small soft, soft leaves with loose heads. Leaf lettuce is the most common type, featuring crisp leaves on the stalk. Lettuce is a common ingredient in salads and sandwiches, but did you know there are five main types of lettuce with numerous varieties for each type. January King cabbage is best when roasted with butter, and red cabbage is perfect for salads. Napa cabbage is sweet and soft, while the Savoy variety is tenderer. Choy varieties are used in Chinese cuisine, they are smaller and have more narrow shapes. Green cabbage is the most common one, versatile and delicious. The cabbage varieties differ in their shape and color and use in the kitchen. But, there are seven cabbage varieties you can include in your diet.

Otto Erickson emigrated from Halsingland, Sweden, in 1868 and established a potato farm in Isanti County, Minnesota. Holiday was founded by the Erickson family. Holiday built the station at 7000 Lake St. The stamp book above dates from a year that stations were located at 5940 Excelsior and 7916 Minnetonka. In September 2021, the building was finally demolished to make way for an apartment building. The property stood empty and for rent for many years. It was built in 1962 by Adolph Fine and was there until 1976. in 1981.Ī Holiday/Erickson station was located at 7916 Minnetonka Blvd., across Texas from the Texa-Tonka Shopping Center. Holiday built a new building at 5720 Excelsior Blvd. In 1974 this station was purchased by the City, torn down and the land was made into a municipal parking lot.įrom 1971/72 to 1981, Holiday was located at 6011 Excelsior Blvd. Below is a photo of the station and one of the bullet holes in the glass that Emory Anderson took the morning after. He was an older man and didn’t seem at all fazed, and stayed on the job. The intended target hid behind a stack of Holiday pop and wasn’t hit. In 1968 a disgruntled customer got mad at the man working the overnight shift at the Holiday Station across from Brookside Drug… and took a few shots at him through the side window. We don’t normally create separate pages for gas stations (they number in the hundreds), but Holiday has moved around a lot, especially on Excelsior Blvd., so here’s a rundown.įrom 1964 to 1971/72, an Erickson/Holiday station was located at 5940 Excelsior Blvd. ![]() ![]() ![]() (For instance, you can perch on your couch and continue to work on a project on your iMac or Mac Pro.)Īstropad has remained one of the best apps around for basic iPad drawing on your Mac, especially if you don't yet own an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, since it works with many iPads and styluses. ![]() But in mirroring the screen, it offers a host of different drawing features for artists.įor one, Astropad displays a dismissible Function bar that holds oft-used drawing shortcuts like Undo, along with Line Preview, which eliminates further latency issues by "previewing" your drawing line (if your Mac hasn't yet caught up with your iPad's brush stroke).īetter yet, it takes advantage of pressure-sensitivity hooks in Mac apps to offer pressure-sensitive drawing for any number of third-party styluses - not only the Apple Pencil.īut perhaps the coolest thing about Astropad is that it can go wireless: You can draw tethered via USB for the best experience if you don't mind suffering a minor drop in latency, however, you can sit elsewhere in your immediate Wi-Fi surroundings and continue to draw. ![]() Unlike Duet Display, Astropad focuses solely on mirroring your Mac's screen - you can't use it as a true second monitor. (We'll talk about Duet Pro in just a little bit.) Duet Display's standard version still offers no drawing tools or pressure sensitivity, however.ĭuet Display - See on the App Store Astropad StandardĪstropad was the first app that offered iPad users a truly great drawing tablet for their Mac: It was built specifically for working in certain Mac programs, like Photoshop, and offered ultra-low latency for drawing through smart hardware optimizations. In late May, Duet at last offered a solution: an in-app Duet Pro subscription, which enables pressure sensitivity and line prediction for artists, among other tools. In the years since, Duet has improved its original app with options like a digital Touch Bar (for Macs without access to Apple's own hardware version), even faster rendering, and iPhone support - but no drawing capabilities, despite competition from newcomer Astropad. Unfortunately, where Duet initially lagged was with the art community - users who wanted that second screen for drawing on a digital Photoshop canvas (or mirroring the Mac's display to draw upon it): The otherwise speedy 60FPS screen had issues displaying Photoshop documents and vast-delayed strokes, making the drawing experience uninspired as a whole. After connecting iPad to Mac via USB, it delivered users a Retina-quality second display at 60 frames per second, with minimal to no lag.įor those who wanted to view extra information - Twitter or work apps from their Mac on a second screen, for example - Duet was an excellent choice, and remains so today. Though not the first second-screen app for iPad, Duet Display was one of the first to truly offer a usable second-screen experience. ![]() ![]() ![]() Testing conducted by Apple in May 2022 using preproduction 13‑inch MacBook Pro systems with Apple M2, 8‑core CPU, 10‑core GPU, and 16GB of RAM. ![]() Performance tests are conducted using specific computer systems and reflect the approximate performance of MacBook Pro. 10‑core PC laptop chip performance data from testing Samsung Galaxy Book2 360 (NP730QED-KA1US) with Core i7‑1255U and 16GB of RAM.
