Nice Egg on a Budget
Nice Egg on a Budget
Last week I invited all readers to submit their fun math stories and puzzles and already received two interesting pointers. One is from Jerome - one of our best puzzle solvers. Jerome lives in Alberta, Canada, where enemies are rare, politics is uneventful, weather is peaceful, and people can devote a lot of time to things that really matter, like food. They grow it, they make it, they eat it and apparently build monuments to the food they like.
Jerome sent me links to the Sausage Monument in Mundare:
Pyrogy (on a fork) Monument in Glendon:

And a Ukranian Easter Egg Monument in Vegreville:
The Easter Egg is called Pysanka and it commemorates the Ukranian heritage of the large part of Vegreville population. It measures 25.7 feet long and stands 31 feet high. Complicated geometry of the egg shape made the design of the Pysanka a highly complex project. Professor Ronald Resch, a computer scientist at the University of Utah, agreed to take on the design work.
So, how do you build a giant replica of a chicken egg accurately, decoratively, and inexpensively in 1980th?
According to one of the Reschs students, they chose not to use the usual method of splitting the egg surface into latitudinal and longitudinal lines as this would produce a very large number of un-indentical parts that would drive project costs up. Instead, they decided to approximate the egg surface with small equilateral triangular tiles made of aluminium. Professor Resch already worked on similar but much simpler curved surfaces for some dome architectural projects. He started with folding paper experiments and noted interesting symmetrical patterns that un-folded paper creates. Over the period of a year together with his students Resch designed a special computer program that can figure out the numerous folds that can lead to the egg shape. You can see all the math details in this old paper by one of Reschs students, James Blinn, that became one of the star computer scientists. They then produced the egg on the Universitys flat-bed plotter machine, out of aluminium, replacing the plotter pen with the milling tool. Each side of the equilateral triangle was made to be 1 foot long. The triangles were anodized in three colors and bolted together.
The Pysanka ended up as an immense jigsaw puzzle containing 524 star patterns, 1,108 equilateral triangles, 3,512 visible facets, 6,978 nuts and bolts, and 177 internal struts. This believed to be the first case of laying a computer generated egg.

New Papers on Virtue Epistemology Epistemic Luck Value of Knowledge etc
My apologies for neglecting my blog! If it were a child, someone would have taken it away from me. I need to get back into the habit. In a feeble effort to make up for some lost time, I have gotten around finally to putting my latest work on VE, epistemic luck, and epistemic value (and other areas of epistemology) up online. You can download them from my homepage at http://jadamcarter.googlepages.com
As most of these are works in progress, please cite only by permission. Also, I am of course very happy to have any comments/feedback on any of this. Feedback is welcome both on this blog or by e-mailing me at j.a.carter@ed.ac.uk
In the meantime, Im stoked to be leaving tomorrow morning for the star-studded Epistemic Agency conference in Geneva...

Notes on snowboard boots setup tie 32 Lashed
Notes on snowboard boots setup tie 32 Lashed
Anyone who snowboards understands how important boots are to your over all riding experience. I would go as far as to say they are the most important piece of the kit trumping everything else, including board, bindings, base layers, or outerwear. The more experienced I get, the more I realize that subtle fine grain movements of the foot ranging from ankle flexion to pedaling are key to success. All this places incredible hellish strain on the feet and increase the importance of boot set up. The problem is most dont consider the technicalities of something as taken for granted as tying boots, or sock selection or how tight is tight enough for the ankle harness. I analyze everything and think about these things a lot and have only now come to some realizations. This post will discuss some thoughts and strategies I have on boots and is skewed towards the 32 Lashed boot which is indicative of many traditional laced boots. While speed lacing systems are popular and BOA is growing, the majority of boots are still laced.
The first thing to consider is ditching the sock liner that comes with the boot. In almost all cases, the sock liner is nothing but a piece of cheap cardboard or foam that does nothing. I suffer from fallen arches which makes snowboarding even more aggravating on my feet and completely unbearable with stock sock liners. I finally ended up getting some custom inserts made by a ski boot fitter. At the very least a good aftermarket insert like Superfeet or Sole is recommended.
The next thing to consider before we get to lacing is socks and thinking about moisture management. Ive realized that one of the key contributors to getting cold feet is perspiration. No matter what Ive tried my feet perspire, leading to damp socks and very cold feet. I also have other issues like chilblains which are all interrelated back to the core concept that snowboarding is hell on the feet. Ive recently been experimenting with the concept of vapor barriers. The concept is to not try and mitigate the perspiration through a wicking liner sock. But rather, to accept it and trap it with a non-breathable membrane and keep the moisture at the feet minimizing the sock or boot insides getting damp.
They make things caller vapor barrier socks, but I have been experimenting with good old saran wrap. I wrap some around the upper part of my feet/toes and put my thin snowboard sock over it. The problem with the whole concept of vapor barriers is that your force your foot towards trench foot. But I realized that my feet are going to sweat no matter what and lead to trench foot anyway. I used to have to change socks every 2-3 hours. One trick to help keep the moisture from being force directly next to skin, is to first put a very thin liner sock on, then the vapor barrier, then your regular sock. The only problem with this is that it begins to push into too thick. I much prefer one thin wool sock as opposed to multiple layers or thicker socks. So far, I have been able to extend riding to 3-4 hours without any sock issues and my toes stay warmer. The rest of foot does sweat and cool down though.
This approach isnt for everyone, and it can just feel bad on the feet. I do this with my hands too and wear nitrile gloves sometimes. I again extends the time before my hands get cold, but it really tears my hands apart and they are sensitive. Regardless, consider carrying extra socks to change into every few hours.
Ok, so now that we have a good insole in, and have considered moisture management, now we move to putting the boot on and the inner harness. Put your foot into the liner, and liner into the boot if it isnt already in the outer boot. I find that my sock gets pushed around a lot when I put my foot into the liner that is already in the boot, Ideally, Id put my foot into the liner then liner in the boot. The problem is that it is pretty difficult to get the liner into the boot and sometimes takes more effort then I want. Regardless, with foot in boot, slam your heel on the ground, stomp your foot. This helps seat your heel in the liner and seat the liner in the boot. Note that the liner is on the higher end, I believe an can be heat molded. There are recipes on the internet for DIY, but a good fitter can help you. They can put some toe caps on your feet to help get a few mm space in there which can help a ton with keeping toes warm by giving enough room for you to wiggle them.
Now the inner ankle harness. The Lashed is on the higher end of a laced boot and has an inner ankle harness that is part of the outer boot as opposed to part of the liner. This seems more secure and Ive realized also makes it easy to tighten the ankle harness too much. Early on, I was a zealot for the no heel lift mantra. I used to wrench as tight a I could inner harnesses. The problem, is that there are many nerves and blood vessels that run near the ankle. The blood vessels feed your toes. Cold feet means that youve constricted blood flow to your toes. The other downside of a wrenched down inner harness is ankle flexibility.
Ive only recently understood how important ankle flexion is to snowboarding. You often here the bend your knees mantra. But really, it should be flex your ankle. I vividly remember on day riding at Winterplace, where my ankles were just on fire. I finally couldnt stand it anymore and had to loosen my boot. I then had a few of the better toe side turns Ive ever had. It still took me years since that day to understand that there is a sweet spot to tightening your inner harness to that strikes a balance between stiffness and responsiveness and ankle flexibility.
One suggestion for the Lashed is to snug down the inner harness, then walk around or do other things with your gear to let the laces stabilize a bit and even out tension, then re-tension the pull and lock it down. The lace locks on these things never totally last long, so you may have to recheck it later. Again, learn to find that sweet spot, and dont automatically wrench it unless you know that this works for you.
Now to lacing. One thing I try and do, is tie my boots on inside. Once my hand get cold I sometimes never recover. It takes me a long time to tie my boots, so Id freeze trying to do it outside. It can be difficult to get laces tight, especially down at the lower laces. Some people like to keep them a little loose to minimize pressure on the foot and still keep responsiveness by keeping the boot tighter elsewhere. It can be painful on the fingers to get the laces tight on the lower foot. I use a hockey lace puller that I got from a local sporting goods shop. It makes it easy to get it as tight as I need to.
EE9s2ufg)2BRsJ8D5D(w~~60_35.jpg)
Next, we get into the real issue that has been eating at me for awhile. And that is lacing/tying the boot. There are two main issues here. One is tying the boot tight in the places you want it tight and the second is tying it so it stays tight and doesnt work its way loose every run. Recall the flex your ankle soap Box from earlier? Well every toe side turn you are pressing into the tongue and pressing against your shoelace. So it is no wonder that you can work your boot loose. I find this vague feeling and delayed reaction in turning edge-to edge when my boot tops are even the slightest looseSo there are entire web pages devoted to shoe lacing. This guy is amazing, but well get to his shoe lace knot in a minute. We still need a few more tricks for tightening. When lacing and tying the upper part of the boot, it can be hard to pull hard enough, and you want to keep them from loosening. This you tube video shows a trick for helping with that. ?One thing that isnt highlighted in it though is that incredible leverage that doing it this way gives you for pulling the lace tight. You basically create a mini pulley. Right at 1:19 you can see that hes clipped one lace on a loop and is getting ready to do the other lace. There is that twist in the lace that he is pulling against. You can pull really tight here and wrench down and its much easier to get it tight then if you didnt do this. I do this twit thing all the way up the boot.
There is also another technique in this article about strategies to help keep the boot from loosening.
Ok, now the part I have struggled with and am still not sure Ive completely mastered. Tying a shoelace that doesnt come loose. I tried regular shoe lace knots, and double shoelace knots to no success. I tried this surgeons shoe lace knot, and could get the knot tied ok, but had trouble keeping tension onto the lace around my shin. So while the knot would stay tight, there was already some slack from not keeping the lace tight on the shin when the knot was made.
Right now I am experimenting with this Ians Secure knot. It seems to be the best one for being able to keep tension on the lace against the shin and then creating a knot that does not come loose and is easy to undo.
Oh, I also like to do a wrap all the way around my shin before doing the knot, but am not sure Ive got enough to do this knot with and do that. I really need new laces, Ive got two different ones on there, and neither are very good. I think there are some better aftermarket laces out there that I would benefit from trying.
So, the goal I am striving for is keeping my feet drier, setting the foot correctly in the boot, getting the ankle harness JUST right, tiring the boot tight, and keeping it tight. I struggle with all of these components, and constantly had been re-tying the boot, or loosening or tightening he ankle strap. I am annoying to ride with because I always have to make Minor adjustments. I am not there yet, but am hopeful that this new Ians secure knot will help me get to where I want to be.
Of course, I think about a triple BOA boot all the time. But they are very expensive. I have broken plenty of parts on the mountain before from laces to bindings, know that it is not impossible to have problems. I think a triple is the only BOA I would get to ensure that the ankle tightness is completely independent from the upper or lower. But until then, with hope these strategies here will help my riding and maintain consistency through the day.

Joya came to Nepal in a month-long visa and began living with Jiwan in Chitwan throughout the previous four years. In that time, Joya brought forth two child. Joya has left Nepal with her three years of age and an additional 11-months old children from Nepali father Jiwan.
Jiwan claims that he has never hitched Joya. She was discovered living in the boulevards and the Philippines government had made course of action of her arrival to her nation.
Joyalen Gres Talormo Maijeres, who were hitched to Jiban Thapa of Ratnanagar Municipality-four for a long time, has been protected with the help of police and a social enterprise, expressed pioneer District Officer Binod Prakash Singh.A Philippine lady from her significant other, who has purportedly been manhandling her substantial and inwardly.

Neat tools to seek out sensitive files on laptops websites
Neat tools to seek out sensitive files on laptops websites
"Oh yeah, I forgot about all of those files." Ive never had a security tool lead to these predictable words regarding sensitive files being stored on unencrypted laptops as much as Identity Finder has. You may have seen Identity Finder in my previous post and related articles and presentations where Ive mentioned or demonstrated it. Identity Finder is a commercial product that IT and information security professionals can use to uncover files that are at risk on under-protected laptops - even the entire enterprise.
Heres a quick peek of what Identity Finder can uncover on a laptop:
Pretty eye-opening, huh? Especially if you find all of this information on an unencrypted laptop.
Check out Identity Finder. Its one of those good bang for the buck tools that can help you with information discovery, classification, leakage prevention or just to simply make the case that PII or intellectual property are not being protected the way they should be.
Theres a related tool I recently came across that you should check out as well called FOCA. FOCA (more specifically FOCA Free) is a data gathering tool you can use to seek out sensitive files on websites you may be testing. Its got a few little quirks but, compared to so many other free tools I try, it actually works. Heres a screenshot of its interface:
Im convinced that those of us in IT and infosec are no different than surgeons, carpenters or race mechanics. If we dont have the right tools for the task, were not going to accomplish all we need to accomplish. Consider adding Identity Finder - and FOCA - to your arsenal. They cant hurt!

New Online Class and an update on the Five Minute Paintings
New Online Class and an update on the Five Minute Paintings
First, the Five-Minute Paintings. I made a little progress on a few of them. Nice to have so many to work with, I can just play around. Its just like Big Fat Art. Here are some before-and-after images of works in progress. These are all on 19"x25" gessoed paper.
 |
| On this one I pretty much just enhanced what was there with artist quality paint and a bit more of the water soluble crayon. |
 |
| Enhanced a few areas, then covered over some using a brayer with white paint. No idea what happens next. |
 |
| I dripped the blue paint (latex) over the orange area, after painting over the orange quite a bit. A few other things, and Ill keep going. |
 |
| This one took many turns. Its probably the most developed of the five-minute paintings, and Im not sure where it will go next. |
Now, for the new online class (drum roll please..... or ukulele noodling):
Beyond the Color Wheel: Advanced Color Studies
This is for those of you who know basic color theory, color mixing, color vocabulary, but want to take the study of color further, and develop your own personal color "voice". The class is a little different from the others, in that the lessons are sent every two weeks. Six lessons in all, but over the course of twelve weeks. This gives you time to get deeper into each lesson, reflect, and absorb.It begins on February 10, and, as usual, enrollment is limited. Click here to read description and sign up.

Non Foolery on April Fools’ Day
Non Foolery on April Fools’ Day
On its face, April Fools’ Day seems like a lighthearted opportunity to play practical jokes and pranks on your friends and coworkers, but it’s easy to see the problem with having such a wacky day filled with falsities and gags. Namely, what happens when something of real consequence actually takes place on April 1st, but people don’t believe it because they automatically think it’s a prank? Here’s a few true tales of actual events that occurred on April 1st that were anything but gags.
Giggling at Google
Google is known for announcing ridiculous news stories, such as telepathic search engines and job openings on the moon, on April Fools’ Day. The thing is, when you are known for this sort of tom foolery, it makes it difficult to be taken seriously when you have real news on April 1st.Humorously enough, the company has decided to take advantage of the viral marketing people give to the news they announce that day, so they have actually made announcements for real products and services at the same time. In 2004 (the same year they created job listings for the moon), they announced the release of Gmail. While this may not seem all that funny, many people still thought it was a prank because the idea of a mail service with one full gigabyte of storage seemed preposterous –at the time, Hotmail only offered 2 megabytes. They followed the success of this announcement by announcing the increase of the mail service’s storage to two gigabytes the next year, also on April Fools’ Day.
In a company that plays such major pranks on the nation every year, it seems likely that the employees must play some really great jokes on each other come April 1st. As such, when an employee’s pet ball python escaped its enclosure on the holiday, the news was met with some disbelief. Unfortunately, this time the news was real. An email was sent out to the entire staff that started out, “The timing of this email could not be more awkward.” It then moved on to say:
“Tempting as it might be, this is not an April Fool’s joke! We are sending this message to alert you to the situation and to let you know what to do in the event you see the snake. “
At least the sender recognized the humor of the situation. In case you were worried about the critter, he was eventually found and returned to his owner’s house a few days later.
Dimming the Guiding Light
Whereas Google has mastered the art of cleverly announcing real news on April Fools’ Day in order to play with the minds of the public, CBS obviously has a lot to learn about making serious announcements on April 1st. Last year, they infuriated a number of loyal viewers by announcing the cancellation of the seventy-two year old daytime soap Guiding Light on April Fools’ Day. As one angry commenter wrote onTV Squad:“If it’s true, you’re jerks for announcing it today. And if it’s not true, then everyone who believes you was a jerk for believing such a story on April Fools’ Day.”
A Depressing Day For Death
Unfortunately, not all real news on April Fools’ Day is as minor as a lost python or canceled TV show. There are many situations where people do not believe a person has died, simply because of the date. Unfortunately, the three best examples of this are all so strange that it’s not surprising that people believed the news to be a hoax.In 1984, one day before his 45th birthday,Marvin Gaye was murdered by his own father after intervening in an argument between his parents. Many fans refused to believe the news because it seemed so odd that his dad would have been the murderer. It wasn’t until the news was confirmed officially that many people stopped believing the murder was more than a cruel April Fools’ Day joke.
Surprisingly, Marvin Senior was only found guilty of voluntary manslaughter and sentenced to five years imprisonment because his son beat him before the shooting.
Not A Set Up For A Tasteless Joke
If you heard a NASCAR champion nicknamed “The Polish Prince” died in a Hooters corporate plane on April Fools’ Day, would you believe it? A lot of fans thought they were hearing a bad joke in 1993 when racing star Alan Kulwicki was announced to be dead in exactly those circumstances.
A Funny Day To Announce An Unfunny Death
Is there a more fitting day for a comedian to die than April Fools’ Day? While Mitch Hedberg actually died on March 30, 2005, the news wasn’t spread to the media until very late on March 31st. Not surprisingly, many people thought the death was merely a prank or a bad publicity stunt put on by Mitch himself.
Don’t Doubt The Danger Warnings
Perhaps the only situation that is worse than one person dying on April Fools’ Day is the so-called April Fools’ Tsunami of 1946, when over 100 people died, largely because they believed storm warnings were a joke. The incident occurred after an massive earthquake on the Aleutian Islands near Alaska, which caused a series of massive tidal waves that spread all the way to South America. Most of the damage hit Hawaii though, where the tsunami reached up to 45 feet tall. Unfortunately, because so many people doubted the news of the impending tidal wave and refused to evacuate, over 165 people died -159 of them in Hawaii.
Interestingly, perhaps this was a bit of a sick prank on the part of Mother Nature, because scientists are still unable to find any reason the 7.8 magnitude earthquake was able to launch such a massive tsunami. It was originally thought that the waves were intensified by a major underwater landslide in the area, but scientists have still found no evidence of this hypothetical landslide. One of the researchers who recently mapped the ocean floor looking for a landslide in the area summed up the matter by noting, “almost 60 years after the event, the 1946 tsunami is still making fools of all of us.”
What about you, readers? Have you ever thought something that happened on April 1st was actually a joke, only to find out later that it was actually 100% true?

Nelson Goodman on Induction
Nelson Goodman on Induction
Suppose I am entertaining the following hypothesis: “All swans are white.” So long as I see no non-white swans, each instance of a white swan I see serves to confirm this hypothesis. Suppose that I also am entertaining a different hypothesis: “All people with black shirts have three brothers.” So long as I haven’t encountered a black-shirted individual without three brothers, does a particular instance of a black-shirted person with three brothers serve to confirm this hypothesis?
Nelson Goodman, in his paper “The New Riddle of Induction” thinks that there is something quite different going on in the first case than in the second. The swan hypothesis appears to be “lawlike”, whilst the second hypothesis appears to be merely “accidental.” Goodman’s challenge in the paper is to determine some clear demarcating features that distinguish law-like hypothesis from he takes to be accidental hypothesis. The upshot of such a project, he thinks, is for us to get clear as to which hypotheses are such that they can be confirmed by particular cases, in such a way that could ultimately lead us to be justified in accepting these hypotheses.
The new “riddle” of induction amounts to the challenging of determining such demarcating features. Goodman makes it clear in his paper that this is not a simple challenge. I am interested to know this: (1) what is the best answer to Goodman’s riddle? (2) What answer have most people accepted to this riddle?
I think that an adequate answer to Goodman on this score is of comparable importance to the epistemic project as is an adequate answer to Chisholm’s problem of the criterion; this is because both challenges threaten (in different ways) the possibility of knowledge. In the case of Goodman’s riddle, what is up for grabs is decisively inductive knowledge, on which much of what we take to be our scientific knowledge rests.
