--- title: 'Automating emails with R + crontab' summary: Walkthrough of setting up recurring emails using R and crontab. authors: - admin tags: categories: [] date: "2020-06-29" lastmod: "29 June, 2020" featured: false draft: true ---
To keep track of the spread of Coronavirus on campus, my employer has asked every faculty person to provide a daily report of health-status via email. Yes, this means sending an email every day saying “I’m still healthy!” to a designated faculty member in the department, who must then verify everyone has responded that day and hunt down those who haven’t.1 Having to send these daily emails made me go back and re-learn something I had tackled long-ago but forgotten: how to set up my computer to automatically run an R script at a scheduled date/time.
I originally did this in graduate school to scrape millions of tweets at given time intervals in the run-up to the October 2016 Colombian “peace” referendum. The result was a lot of data and this cute graph that I haven’t been able to publish anywhere.2
So, here’s the set-up for the recurring email problem using R
and crontab
, but you can easily adapt the solution to other needs.
Sending emails with R is made easy by the gmailr
package.


About
Hack Volusia aims to bring STEM enthusiasts from local Colleges & Universities together in a business environment to help grow Volusia County's Economy.
What is a Hackathon?
A hackathon is best described as an “invention marathon”. Anyone who has an interest in technology attends a hackathon to learn, build & share their creations. We will have plenty of workshops to help new hackers along with mentors from various local companies.
Cost
Hack Volusia is completely free thanks to our generous sponsors. We will have plenty of food for our competitors including breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks (please fill out dietary restrictions when registering so we may accommodate you). Parking is free but limited so please carpool.
Rules & Additional Information
Teams of up to 1-4 hackers may compete there will be team building before and after the opening ceremony. We ask that projects are not worked on before the Hackathon begins to keep an equal playing field. All participants must agree to the MLH Code of conduct located HERE.
When & Where
Saturday December 2nd 9AM-9PM, at the UCF Business Incubator in Daytona Beach, FL 601 Innovation Way (right next to the airport).


 Crack open the lid when all the guests are around, and savour the aroma of saffron, rose water and spices.
Serves 4-6 as a vegetarian main course, or try it as a vegetable side dish for 8-10 people.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
Wash the rice and soak in cold water for 20 minutes.
For the pumpkin, mix the tamarind, chilli and salt and smear it on the inside of the hollowed out pumpkin. Bake it in the oven (without the pumpkin lid) for 30-50 minutes. When cooked, remove from the oven and set aside.
Mix all the ingredients for the marinade.
For the vegetables, place all the vegetables in a heavy-based casserole and add the marinade. Set aside for 15 minutes.
For the rice, boil 3 litres/5¼ pints of water and add the whole spices and salt.
When the water is boiling, add the strained soaked rice and boil for about 6-8 minutes until two-thirds cooked then drain using a colander.
Meanwhile bring the vegetables to a simmer over a low heat.
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
To finish, soak the saffron in the warm milk for 3-5 minutes then mix in the ghee and rosewater (or kewra water) and set aside.
Fill the bottom of the pumpkin with layers of the vegetables and rice, sprinkling some chopped mint and the soaked saffron mix over the rice as you go.
Put on the pumpkin lid. You may wish to seal the lid using some dough to create a pressure cooking effect.
Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes.
To serve, take the lid off the pumpkin and garnish the rice with raisins.

Classic steaks with peppercorn sauce, provide a delicious bistro supper, served with mash to mop up the sauce.
For the steak, season the steaks, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat half of the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. When the butter is foaming, add the seasoned steaks and fry for 1-2 minutes on each side (for medium rare), or until cooked to your liking. Remove from the pan and set aside on a warm plate to rest.
Add the remaining butter to the pan the steaks were cooked in. When the butter is foaming, add the shallots and fry for 1-2 minutes, or until softened.
Add the garlic, peppercorns and thyme and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, or until softened.
Add the brandy and light with a match. Allow the flames to flare up and cool down. (CAUTION: Keep the pan well away from your face and eyes and surrounding objects).
Add the stock and cook for another few minutes until reduced by half then add the cream and return to a simmer.
Cook for another minute then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
For the mash, place the potatoes into a pan of salted water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pan, then place the pan on the heat for one minute to steam off any excess moisture.
Mash the potatoes well, then add the butter and milk, beating to form a smooth mash. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
For the beans, bring a saucepan of salted water to the boil, then add the beans and boil for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
Heat a frying pan until medium hot, add the butter and heat until foaming then add the hazelnuts and cook until lightly toasted.
Add the olive oil and sherry vinegar and whisk to combine.
Season with salt and black pepper then add the beans and parsley and toss to coat.
To serve, spoon the mash onto the plate then place the steak alongside. Place the beans next to it then spoon over the peppercorn sauce.

Tens of thousands celebrate Japan emperor’s enthronement
by The Online CitizenTens of thousands of people gathered on Saturday at a national festival to celebrate the enthronement of Japan’s Emperor Naruhito with dancers and pop stars offering jubilant performances.
Some 10,000 citizens who won hard-to-get tickets and 20,000 invited guests attended the evening festival at Tokyo’s Imperial Palace Plaza, which was broadcast live across the nation.
The festival came after Naruhito completed his ascension to the Chrysanthemum throne on October 22 in a ceremony steeped in the traditions and grandeur of a monarchy that claims 2,000 years of history.
“I am grateful to you gathering here today for your congratulations,” Naruhito told a flag-waving crowd, standing on a stone bridge at the palace with Empress Masako following congratulatory speeches by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and other notable figures.
J-pop group Arashi performed a song composed for the event.
Earlier in the day, another 30,000 people enjoyed local dancing performances at the venue.
On Sunday, the royal couple will parade in a convertible car along a 4.6-kilometre (2.9-mile) route from the palace to their residence in central Tokyo to mark the enthronement.
The parade was originally scheduled for October 22 but postponed after more than 80 people were killed when Typhoon Hagibis slammed into Japan and caused widespread damage.
In his brief speech, the emperor offered his condolences to the victims and voiced his “sincere hope” for an early recovery from the disaster.

Project Designs
Project Design Guidelines
before writing up a project - be sure the teacher agrees the guidelines are being met for the idea (& adjust accordingly)- Complexitiy - at LEAST two technologies must be involved in the project idea (preferably those listed in the curriculum - but other areas can be discussed and approved)
- Story or theme - there must be an openended reason to motivate a company to be interested in this customer request
- Persistence - this project should meet a company's need to be valuable after class is over
- Cooperative Feedback - this project should be of a type that doesn't exclude helpful feedback from fellow groups (a competition of like products against is unlikely to create a cooperative environment with rich feedback loops)
- Problem Solving - the technologies and their integration should not be familiar to those doing this project - target technologies that are interesting, out of reach, but doable with research and persistance. If the technology is hard, then a starter kit can help - sample code, sample research words, etc. can help.
- Open Ended - the product description needs to be specific enough to get someone started and know the scope of the complexities and limitations (artificial or otherwise), however, the description should allow a wide range of products creativity and approaches.
Project Writeup Requirements
specificity will vary depending on if the target is level one, two or three - consult with the teacher on this detail.Sections:
- Mission (Story) - describing a compelling need for a product & what it must be able to do, hold, survive, etc. (i.e. the bridge must hold 2 liters of water when pulled across on a cart, or the fountain must have at least 2 levels of cascading, etc.)
-

Over 41,000 elderly living alone or isolated
Portugal’s National Republican Guard (GNR) reported 41,868 elderly people living alone or isolated throughout the country in October as part of the “Senior Census” operation.
In a statement, the GNR said it had reported 215 situations of greater vulnerability to the competent authorities, especially social support.
Another 4,274 elderly people received support from other institutions, which are not specified by GNR.
According to the data, the largest number of identified elderly living alone or isolated was in the district of Vila Real (4,736), followed by Guarda (4,183), Faro (3,272), Viseu (3,201), Portalegre (3,147) and Bragança (3,142).
In Lisbon, 626 elderly people were identified living alone or isolated and in Porto, 1,026.
In the operation “Senior Census 2019”, carried out in October, the GNR reported elderly who live alone and/or isolated or in a vulnerable situation due to their physical, psychological or other condition that may put their safety at risk.
During the operation, the military gave priority to personal contact and the carrying out of actions, to raise awareness among this target audience so that they do not adopt risky behaviours, preventing them from becoming victims of crimes, such as theft, robbery or scams.
The first “Operation Senior Census” took place in 2011 and, since then, GNR has been building a geographic database to provide better support to the elderly population.
In October 2018, the GNR had flagged 45,563 elderly people living alone or isolated throughout the country.

Large-Scale Talent Flow Embedding
for Company Competitive Analysis
Le Zhang et. al
WWW'20
2020/6/4
Competitiveness of a company
Estimating PPR proximity
-
Let $\varrho(u, ・)$ be PPR proximity of u to other nodes
-
Compute the PPR proximity recursively
-
A is the transition matrix of the network with normalized rows.
$A_{ij}$ indicates the prob to move from node i to j
-
$\alpha$ is the jump rate
-
r is a one-hot vector which is all zero except the position of u to be 1.
(accumulating r vectors for all companies gives personalized teleport matrix in PPR)
-
From the principles of random-walk, $\varrho(u, ・)$ should converge to stationary probs.
Thus, a sample from $\varrho(u, ・)$ is the end node in a random walk path that starts from node u.
Talent Flow Embedding
-
For each company u, define 2 attraction vectors
-
$S_u$, the source vector of u, which indicates the attraction of talents in company u to other companies.
-
$T_u$, the target vector of u, which indicates the attraction of company u to the talents from other companies.
-
Talent Flow Embedding is defined as follows:
-
Because the competitiveness has 2 components, PPR proximities from inflow & outflow networks, so we divide the source & target vectos into 2 parts:
where [・,・] is vector concatenation.
Talent Flow Embedding (2)
-
Consider embedding learning on outflow network
-
We learn the embedding by fitting a distribution $\varrho_o^*(u, ・)$ to $\varrho_o(u, ・)$,
which lead to minimizing the following KL divergence:
-
Define the distance from u to v as the inner product of the u’s source vector and v’s target vector $S^o_u・T^o_v$, and normalize with softmax
Learn TFE with NCE on outflow network
-
Minimizing the KL from (4) is equivalent to minimizing the cross-entropy loss
-
It can be minimized with SGD, but it is computationally expensive → adopt Noise Contrastive Estimation (NCE).
-
The idea is to train a binary classifier to distinguish node samples coming from the empirical distribution $\varrho_o(u, ・)$ or noise distribution $\varPhi_n$.
-
Let D be an indicator, that D=1 for drawing from empirical distribution, and D=0 for drawing from noise distribution
-
Draw u from default distribution $\varPhi_e$, and draw v from empirical distribution $\varrho_o(u, ・)$
-
Optimizing objective function in (6) becomes maximizing
where $\theta^o=\{S^o, T^o\}$ are the model parameters, c is the # of noise samples, and
-
In this paper, uniform distribution is used for both $\Phi_e$ and $\Phi_n$
-
Similarly, compute the NCE loss on the inflow network $G^T$
-
The final objective function is
Multi-task strategy for TFE
-
For each company, the talent flow in different job positions could be different → assume that the features of company keep stable in different job position networks
-
For each company, to maintain the same attraction vectors $S_u$ and $T_u$ in all job position networks, we need to take the contribution of each dimension in each job position.
-
Define role vector $R_k$ for each job position k, of which each dimension $R_{kj}$ is used to represent the importance of the $j^{th}$ feature in job position k.
-
Then, the competitiveness of company v to u at the job position k
Multi-task strategy for TFE (2)
-
Also consider the inflow and outflow network separately following the idea of TFE, thus define $R^o_k$ & $R^i_k$, so that $R_k = [R^o_k, R^i_k]$
-
Need to minimize the sum of cross-entropy loss over multiple networks
-
The NCE loss becomes
where $\theta=\{S, T, R\}$ are parameters of MTFE model, and
MTFE model learning
-

Project Export
Project Export is the step to create a package that contains all the files needed to play your game, excluding the files that are only needed for development.
The data directories of your project contain a lot of files that are only needed during development. Additionally, they are usually stored in various locations, for example the Base directory, which is needed by all games, is located in the SDK folder, whereas your project files probably are located somewhere entirely different. Finally, you also need various binaries (EXE and DLL on Windows) to launch your game, which are again located somewhere different.
The project export feature consolidates all these files into a single directory, so that it is easy to distribute.
Export Project Dialog
To get started with generating a self-contained package of your game, use the project export dialog that you find in the editor under Editor > Export Project....
Select an output folder and click Export Project.
Once the export is finished, it will automatically open the folder where the files have been copied to. The export also generates one .bat
file for every scene in your project. These scripts launch the respective scene with ezPlayer.
Configuring Project Export
When you export your project for the first time, these files are added to your project directory:
ProjectBinaries.ezExportFilter
ProjectData.ezExportFilter
The first file is used to determine which binaries should get included in the package. The second file is used to determine which data files should get included.
By default these files #include
predefined export filters:
Data\Base\CommonData.ezExportFilter
Data\Base\CommonBinaries.ezExportFilter
These files set up the rules for typical use-cases. You can extend them in your project config files, or you can remove the #include
and fully define your own rules.
The ezExportFilter files contain two sections: [EXCLUDE] and [INCLUDE]. Without any filter, all files are included in the output package.
To exclude certain files or file types, a pattern has to be added to the [EXCLUDE] section. However, sometimes you want to exclude all files of a certain type (e.g. exe) but include a single one regardless (for example your game.exe). In this case, add it to the [INCLUDE] section, to override the exclusion filter.
Each line in the file represents one file path pattern:
- If it starts with a
*
, it matches paths that end with this pattern. - If it ends with a
*
, it matches paths that start with this pattern. - If it starts and ends with a
*
, it matches paths that contain this pattern. - At any other location,
*
is not allowed. - All paths are considered to be relative to their respective data directory.
Note:
For inspiration how to use these path patterns, see the files
Data\Base\CommonData.ezExportFilter
andData\Base\CommonBinaries.ezExportFilter
.
Limitations
- At this time it is not analyzed which plugin DLLs are actually needed, instead all DLLs are included. Edit your
ProjectBinaries.ezExportFilter
to control this. - Currently the export step always creates
.bat
files to load each scene with ezPlayer. There is no way to automatically set up something different. - You currently can't automatically execute custom logic (C++ code, or a script) to finalize the package.


% for (var i = 0; i < scripts.length; i++) { %> <% } %>
If you see this, something is wrong with your installation.

Garza’s double-double helps Iowa to 87-60 win over SIUE.
by JOHN BOHNENKAMPIOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - It wasn’t an overstatement, Fran McCaffery said.
Asked about junior center Luka Garza, McCaffery, Iowa’s basketball coach said, “He’s one of the hardest working guys I’ve ever been around. That’s no exaggeration. He never takes a possession off at either end.”
Garza showed that work ethic on Friday night, opening the season with a double-double and Iowa pulled away in the second half for an 87-60 win over SIU-Edwardsville.
Garza, Iowa’s leading returning scorer from a team that reached the second round of the NCAA tournament last season, had 20 points and 12 rebounds as the Hawkeyes won their season opener.
It was the sixth double-double of Garza’s career.
“I think we just really followed the game plan,” said Garza, who had 14 points and seven rebounds in the first half. “We really wanted to get the ball inside. I was just able to be put into great positions by my teammates who tried to get me the ball. And when they put me into those positions, I’m going to try to find a way to score.”
Garza took over inside where forward Tyler Cook, Iowa’s leading scorer last season before leaving for a professional career, left off.
“I just worked a lot over the summer, tried to get stronger,” Garza said. “Now that I moved into TC’s position at the ‘5’, I’m more of a true center, for sure.”
Joe Wieskamp had 16 points for the Hawkeyes.
Iowa struggled early, with SIUE getting to within 26-22 late in the first half. But the Hawkeyes went on a 12-4 run, started by a 3-pointer from senior guard Jordan Bohannon, to close the half then opened the second half with a 17-8 run over the first six minutes.
Kenyon Duling and Cam Williams each had 10 points for SIUE (1-1).
BIG PICTURE:
Iowa went with a deep rotation - 10 players were used in the first half - and that rotation figures to grow as forward Cordell Pemsl returns from his suspension from his September arrest for drunken driving. McCaffery has never shied away from using a lot of players and will do so again, at least early in the season.
OPENING STREAK
Iowa has won nine consecutive season openers. The Hawkeyes have also won 60 of its last 64 home games against nonconference opponents and are 16-0 against current members of the Ohio Valley Conference.
STREAK SNAPPED
Bohannon’s consecutive start streak ended at 96. Bohannon, coming off hip surgery in late May, entered the game at the 14:03 mark of the first half. Bohannon played 19 minutes, with nine points and four assists.
“He had a really good week, I thought, health-wise and practice-wise,” McCaffery said. “He was more like himself. He was aggressive. He made shots.”
“I felt good out there,” said Bohannon, who hit his first shot of the game, a 3-pointer, with 3:55 left. “It helps when you hit your first shot. It boosted confidence. Nothing was really bothering me tonight.”
UP NEXT
Iowa gets its first conference-challenge game of the season when the Hawkeyes host DePaul in the Gavitt Games (Big Ten vs. Big East) on Monday.
SIUE plays at home against Valparaiso on Tuesday.

We desire to create, share and consume experiences.
VR video is a collection of techniques and processes to encode and distribute experiences.
It's usually panoramic if not fully spherical.
Commonly referred to as...
360 video

panoramic video
immersive video

Best viewed using a head mounted display
Panoramic capture was largely a niche interest before the advent of these devices...
Using a HMD, the orientation of the viewer's head is tracked to properly update the display to create the illusion one is inside a scene.
No more clicking and moving with the mouse!
What does that mean?
Monoscopic is a video or image obtained from a single view point.
Stereoscopic is a video or image obtained from two slightly offset viewpoints, so when viewed together create the illusion of depth and solidarity.
Commonly achieved using a combination of smaller cameras with wide fields of view aimed at specific angles.
Smaller and easier to use solutions are coming to market.
Stitching is the process of combining multiple photographic images with overlapping fields of view to produce a panorama.
For spherical content, footage is combined to produce what's called a Equirectangular projection.

Essex street has 12 hairdressers in just 400 metres thanks to 'TOWIE effect'
The Only Way is Essex effect has led to a boom of barber shops and hairdressers opening up in Chelmsford, Essex
by Louie Smith, https://www.facebook.com/dailymirror/A street may have the most hairdressing shops in the shortest distance in Britain – with 12 salons and barbers in a 400-metre stretch.
Locals say people trying to copy stars – including those on TOWIE – have caused more stores to open on Moulsham Street in Chelmsford, Essex.
The reality show is mainly filmed in the nearby town of Brentwood but many scenes are also shot in the city.
Daniel Foulds, 32, who is assistant manager of Mitchells Barbers, said: “Image is a big thing. Self-grooming is on the rise and people want to look like them and celebrities like David Beckham.
“Male grooming just gets bigger and bigger. Now especially with social media they want to look the best they can.”
Brogan Gregory, 27, of MACK hairdressers, said some clients want to copy the show’s styles but others are more interested in a “classic look”.
She said: “So many people want that Essex look but we are more of a classic salon. If you want big hair we can do that but we try to offer something different.”
Daniel added business is still booming despite an abundance of hairdressers.
He said: “I was told either go into hairdressing or undertaking because everyone’s hair grows and everyone dies.
“We’ve been here 17 years and we’ve never felt a recession.”

To use SDK you have to include provided javascript into each page using SDK functionality.
<script src="/scripts/websdk.min.js"></script>
To communicate with the server the application must be configured with a valid API key and secret. These are set using method setKeyAndSecret before calling to other API functions:
Aimbrain.api.setKeyAndSecret("[api key]", "[api secret]");
Most of the API calls require active session. Session can be managed using Session module methods. Once established the session persists across all pages on the current domain until cleared by clearSession.
Session initialisation example:
if (Aimbrain.session.isSessionActive()) {
// use sdk functionality
...
}
else {
Aimbrain.session.establishSession("[user id]").then((result) => {
// use sdk functionality if result is succesfull
...
});
}
SDK functionality is divided into multiple modules. Refer to each module documentation for more details and usage examples.
API module contains SDK credential calls, low level api calls and definitions used in other modules.
Session module provides session management.
Behaviour module provides behavioural tracking.
Facial module provides facial enrolment and authentication.
Voice module provides voice enrolment and authentication.
Async SDK calls return promise objects. For example:
var recordPromise = Aimbrain.facial.recordFaceVideo(options);
recordPromise.then((result) => {
// recording done, use result
}).catch((error) => {
// handle record error
});
For some integration scenarios additional data may be required to be sent to
server with API call or additional data may be returned. Such integration-defined
information should be passed in parameter named metadata
. Integration-defined
information is returned from server in response field metadata
.
AimBrain SDK can be used in two modes, by sending data to AimBrain API directly or by serialising requests and submitting the data via server side integration.
To serialise requests SDK has to be configured with session identifier by calling setExistingSession in Session module.
Once session is set calling api methods with parameter serialized
set to true
will return serialised API call bodies.
Calling methods with serialized
set to true
returns promise resolving to string
containing request JSON:
Aimbrain.session.establishSession("[some user id]", true).then(jsonString => {
console.log(jsonString);
});
SDK does not require API key and secret to be set when using request serialisation.
Please refer to server side integration documentation for serialised data processing details.

Ctrl + P from the browser to print
It is already set to print the questions and the answer sheet properly, but I tested this only on Chrome. It can be viewed or printed differently on different browsers. By default, the control panel will not be printed. The answer sheet is not visible on browser, but it will be printed after the questions.
Adjust size
On the Print pop-up screen, it is possible to change the print settings. If you want to include more questions per page, just change the scale to 70% or to any ratio you want.

The Green Glass Sea
By Ellen Klages, illustration by Greg McBrady
6 September 2004
In the summer of 1945, Dr. Gordon was gone for the first two weeks in July. Dewey Kerrigan noticed that a lot of the usual faces were missing from the dining hall at the Los Alamos lodge, and everyone seemed tense, even more tense than usual.
Dewey and her father had come to the Hill two years before, when she was eight. When he was sent to Washington, she came to live with the Gordons. They were both scientists, like Papa, and their daughter Suze was about the same age as Dewey. Dewey's mom hadn't been around since she was a baby.
One Sunday night Mrs. Gordon had shooed the girls to bed early, then woke them before dawn for a hike with some of the other wives, many of whom also had jobs and titles other than Mrs. They carried blankets and sandwiches and thermoses of coffee out to a place on the edge of the mesa where they had a clear view of the southern horizon and sat in the still early darkness, smoking and waiting.
Right before sunrise there was a bright light. Dewey thought it might be the sun coming up, except it came from the wrong direction. It lit up the sky for a moment, then disappeared, like the fireworks they'd had in May when the war in Europe ended. There was silence for a minute after the light faded, then Mrs. Gordon and the other women started hugging each other, smiling and talking. They hugged Dewey and Suze too, but Dewey wasn't sure why.
She figured it must have something to do with the gadget. Everything on the Hill had something to do with the gadget. She just wished she knew what the gadget was.
That evening, around dinnertime, a caravan of cars full of men returned to the Hill. They looked tired and hot and dusty and were greeted with cheers. Dr. Gordon walked into the apartment about 7:30. He had deep circles under his eyes and he hadn't shaved.
"Well, we did it," he said as he hugged Mrs. Gordon. He hugged Suze next, and ruffled his hand through Dewey's curls. He didn't say what "it" was. He just ate a ham sandwich, drank two shots of whiskey, and slept until the next afternoon.
On the fourth of August, Dr. Gordon came into the apartment late in the afternoon. He was whistling, his hat tipped back on his head, carrying a pink box from the bakery down in Santa Fe.
He put the box down on the table and opened a bottle of beer. "Got a birthday surprise for you," he said to Suze.
She stopped coloring in Dorothy's dress with her blue crayon and looked up. "Can I open it now, Daddy?"
"Nope. Your birthday's not until the sixth. Besides, it isn't something you can unwrap. It's a trip, a little vacation. I've gotten special passes."
"Where are we going?"
"Well now, that's the surprise."
"Farther than Santa Fe?"
He smiled. "Just a bit." He took a deep swig of beer.  You won't need much. Just a change of clothes and your toothbrush. Your Mom left a paper sack for you to put them in."
Suze threw her coloring book onto the table with a thump and ran into the bedroom, her shoes clattering loudly on the linoleum.
Dewey sat on the couch reading a book about Faraday.  She was used to people leaving. It was better to stay quiet.
"Aren't you going to get your things ready?" asked Dr. Gordon. He had picked up the newspaper and was looking at it without really reading.
Dewey was startled. "Am I coming with you?"
He chuckled. "Of course. What did you think? The whole family's going."
From the bedroom there was a loud sigh, then a snap! as Suze unfolded the paper bag.
"Oh," Dewey said slowly. "Family." The Gordons weren't her family, really. Nobody was, not since she'd gotten the Army telegram about Papa and the accident. But they were nice. Mrs. Gordon even tucked her in, some nights, if she wasn't working late at her lab.
"Don't you want to go on an adventure?" Dr. Gordon asked.
"I guess so." Dewey wasn't sure. She liked being on the Hill. She knew where everything was, and when dinner was served at the Lodge. There weren't any surprises. She'd had enough surprises.
But Dr. Gordon seemed to be waiting for an answer. Dewey carefully replaced her bookmark and closed the book. "I'll go pack my things," she said.
The next morning Mrs. Gordon was up early, making stacks of ham and cheese sandwiches that she wrapped in waxed paper. She put the picnic basket and their paper sacks into the big black Ford, and just after eleven they showed their passes to the guard at the East Gate and set off down the long twisting road that led to the highway several thousand feet below. The temperature climbed as they descended.
Dewey and Suze sat in the back seat, a foot or so of black serge between them. Suze had the road map spread out across her lap. Los Alamos wasn't on the map, of course, but a thin blue line trickled down from the mesa through Pojoaque. When it became a fatter red line, Highway 285, in Santa Fe, Dr. Gordon turned right and they headed south.
Dewey stared out the window. She had never been anywhere in New Mexico except the Hill, not since she and Papa had arrived two years before, and then it had been night. She'd imagined that everything looked like the mesa, just more of it. But now outside the window the land was flat and endless, bounded by craggy brown mountain canyons on one side and distant dusky blue ridges on the far horizons.
Close up, everything that went by the window was brown. Brown dirt, brown fences, brown tumbleweeds, brown adobe houses. But all the distances were blue. Crystal blue, huge sky that covered everything for as far as she could see until the earth curved. Faraway slate blue, hazy blue mountains and mesas, ledges of blue land stretching away from the road, blurring into the sky at the edges. Blue land. She had never seen anything like that before.
Dr. Gordon had gas coupons from the Army, and he filled up the tank when they crossed Route 66. They stopped for a late lunch on the banks of a trickle of river a few miles farther south, eating their sandwiches and drinking Orange Nehi in the shade of a piñon pine. The summer sun was bright and the air smelled like dust and resin.
"How much farther are we going?" Suze asked, putting the bottle caps in her pocket.
"Another three, maybe four hours. We'll spend the night in a little town called Carrizozo," Dr. Gordon said.
Dewey watched as Suze bent over the map and her finger found Carrizozo. It was a very small dot, and other than being a place where two roads crossed, there didn't seem to be anything interesting nearby.
Suze looked puzzled. "Why are we going there?"
"We're not. It's just the closest place to spend the night, unless you want to sleep in the car. I certainly don't." He lit his pipe, leaned back against the tree, and closed his eyes, smiling.
It was the most relaxed Dewey had ever seen him.
After lunch, the land stayed very flat and the mountains stayed far away. There was nothing much to see. Beyond the asphalt the land was parched brown by the heat, and there were no trees, just stubby greasewood bushes and low grass, with an occasional spiky yucca or flat cactus.
Dewey's eyes closed and she slept, almost, just aware enough to hear the noise of the car wheels and the wind. When the car slowed and bumped over a set of railroad tracks, she opened her eyes again. They were in Carrizozo, and it was twilight. The distant blues had turned to purples and the sky was pale and looked as if it had been smeared with bright orange sherbet. Dr. Gordon pulled off onto the gravel of the Crossroads Motor Court.
They walked a few blocks into town for dinner. Carrizozo was not much more than the place where the north-south highway heading towards El Paso crossed the east-west road that led to Roswell. There was a bar called the White Sands, a Texaco station, and some scattered stores and houses between the railroad tracks and the one main street.
Through the blue-checked curtains of the café Dewey could see mountains to the east. "Are we going into the mountains in the morning?"
"Nope," said Dr. Gordon, spearing a piece of meatloaf. "The other direction."
Dewey frowned. She had spent most of the day looking over Suze's shoulder at the map. There wasn't anything in the other direction. It was an almost perfectly blank place on the map. White Sands was a little bit west, but almost 100 miles to the south. If they'd been going there, Dewey thought, it would have made more sense to stay in Alamogordo.
"But . . . ," Dewey said, and Mrs. Gordon smiled. "You're confused, my little geographer. That's because where we're going isn't on the map. Not yet, anyway."
That didn't make a lot of sense either. But when Mrs. Gordon smiled at her with warm eyes, Dewey felt like everything would be okay, even if she didn't understand.
It was barely light when Mrs. Gordon woke them the next morning. Dr. Gordon had gotten two cups of coffee in paper cups from the café, and Cokes for the girls, even though it was breakfast. The air was still and already warm, and everything was very quiet.
They drove south, and then west for about an hour, the rising sun making a long dark shadow in front of the car. There was nothing much to see out the window or on the map. At an unmarked dirt road, Dr. Gordon turned left.
Thin wire ran from wooden fence posts, separating the pale brown of the road from the pale beige of the desert. A few straggly yucca plants, spiky gray-green balls with stalks of yellow flowers, were the only color forever. The car raised plumes of dust so thick that Dewey could see where they were going, but no longer where they'd been.
After half an hour, they came to a gate with an Army MP. He seemed to be guarding more empty desert. The Gordons both showed their passes and their Los Alamos badges. The guard nodded and waved the car through, then closed the gate behind them.
Dr. Gordon pulled the car off to the side of the road a mile later and turned off the engine. It ticked slowly in the hot, still air.
"Daddy? Where are we?" Suze asked after a minute.
They didn't seem to be anywhere. Except for a small range of low mountains to the west, where they'd stopped was the middle of a flat, featureless desert, scattered with construction debris—pieces of wooden crates, lengths of wire and cable, flattened sheets of metal.
Dr. Gordon took her hand. "It's called Trinity," he said. "It's where I was working last month. Let's walk."
They started across the dirt. There were no plants, not even grass or yucca. Just reddish-beige, sandy dirt. Every few yards there was a charred greasewood bush.
They kept walking. The skeletons disappeared and then there was nothing at all. It was the emptiest place Dewey had ever seen.
After about five minutes, Dewey looked down and saw burned spots that looked like little animals, like a bird or a desert mouse had been stenciled black against the hard flat ground. She looked over at Mrs. Gordon. Mrs. Gordon had stopped walking.
She stood a few yards back from the others, her lips pressed tight together, staring down at one of the black spots. "Christ," she said to the spot. "What have we done?" She lit a Chesterfield and stood there for almost a minute, then looked up at Dr. Gordon. He walked back to her.
"Phillip? How safe is this?" She looked around, holding her arms tight across her chest, as if she were cold, although the temperature was already in the 80s.
He shrugged. "Ground zero's still pretty hot. But Oppie said the rest is okay, as long as we don't stay out too long. Fifteen minutes. We'll be fine."
Dewey didn't know what he was talking about. Maybe sunburn. There wasn't any shade. There wasn't any anything.
Mrs. Gordon nodded without smiling. A few minutes later she reached down and took Suze's hand and held it tight.
They kept walking through the empty place.
And then, just ahead of them, the ground sloped gently downward into a huge green sea. Dewey took a few more steps and saw that it wasn't water. It was glass. Shiny jade-green glass, everywhere, coloring the bare, empty desert as far ahead as she could see. It wasn't smooth, like a Pyrex bowl, or sharp like a broken bottle, but more like a giant candle had dripped and splattered green wax everywhere.
Dr. Gordon reached down and broke off a piece about as big as his hand. It looked like a green, twisted root. He gave it to Suze.
"Happy birthday, kiddo," he said. "I really wanted you to see this. The boys are calling it trinitite."
Suze turned the glass over and over in her hand.  The bottom was pitted and rough and dirty where it had been lying in the sand. "Is it very, very old?" she asked.
He shook his head. "Very, very new. Three weeks today. It's the first new mineral created on this planet in millions of years." He sounded very pleased.
 Today was August 6th. Three weeks ago was when they got up early and saw the bright light. "Did the gadget make this?" Dewey asked.
Dr. Gordon looked surprised. He tipped his hat back on his head and thought for a minute. "I suppose it's all right to tell you girls now," he said. "Yes, the gadget did this. It was so hot that it melted the ground. Over 100 million degrees. Hotter than the sun itself. It fused seventy-five acres of this desert sand into glass."
"How is that going to win the war?" Dewey asked. It was strange to finally be talking about secret stuff out loud.
"It'll melt all the Japs!" Suze said. "Right, Daddy?"
Mrs. Gordon winced. "Well, if cooler heads prevail," she said, "we'll never have to find out, will we, Phillip?" She gave Dr. Gordon a look, then took a few steps away and stared out toward the mountains.
"You girls go on, take a walk around," he said. "But when I call, you scamper back pronto, okay?"
Dewey and Suze agreed and stepped out onto the green glass sea. The strange twisted surface crunched and crackled beneath their feet as if they were walking on braided ice. They walked in from the edge until all they could see was green: splattered at their feet, merging into solid color at the edges of their vision.
"I didn't know war stuff could make anything pretty," Suze said. "It looks like we're on the planet Oz, doesn't it?"
Dewey was as amazed by the question as by the landscape. Suze usually acted like she didn't exist. "I guess so," she nodded.
"This is probably what they made the Emerald City out of." Suze reached down and picked up a long flat piece. "I am the Wicked Witch of the West. Bow down before my powerful magic."  She giggled.
"I'm going to take some pieces of Oz home," she said. She pulled the bottom of her seersucker blouse out to make a pouch and dropped in the rest of the piece she was holding.
Suze began to fill up her shirt. Dewey walked a few feet away with her head down, looking for one perfect piece to take back with her. The glassy surface was only about half an inch thick, and many of the pieces Dewey picked up were so brittle they crumbled and cracked apart in her hands. She picked up one odd, rounded lump and the thin glass casing on the outside shattered under her fingers like an eggshell, revealing a lump of plain dirt inside. She finally kept one flat piece bigger than her hand, spread out. Suze had her shirttails completely filled.
Dewey was looking carefully at a big piece with streaks of reddish brown when Dr. Gordon whistled. "Come on back. Now," he called.
She looked at Suze, and the other girl smiled, just a little. They walked slowly back until they could see brown dirt ahead of them again. At the edge, Dewey turned back for a minute, trying to fold the image into her memory. Then she stepped back onto the bare, scorched dirt.
They walked back to the car in silence, holding their new, fragile treasure.
Dr. Gordon opened the trunk and pulled out a black box with a round lens like a camera. He squatted back on his heels. "Okay, now hand me each of the pieces you picked up, one by one," he said.
Suze pulled a flat piece of pebbled glass out of her shirt pouch. When Dr. Gordon put it in front of the black box, a needle moved over a bit, and the box made a few clicking sounds. He put that piece down by his foot and reached for the next one. It was one of the round eggshell ones, and it made the needle go all the way over. The box clicked like a cicada.
He put it down by his other foot. "That one's too hot to take home," he said.
Suze pulled out her next piece. "This one's not hot," she said, laying her hand flat on top of it.
 "It's not temperature, sweetie. It's radiation. That's a geiger counter."
"Oh. Okay." Suze handed the piece to her father.
Dewey knew what a geiger counter was. Most of the older kids on the Hill did. She wasn't quite sure what it measured, but it was gadget stuff, so it was important.
"Did Papa help make this?" she asked, handing her piece over to Dr. Gordon.
Mrs. Gordon made a soft sound in her throat and put her arm around Dewey's shoulders. "He certainly did. None of this would have been possible without brave men like Jimmy—, like your Papa."
Dewey leaned into Mrs. Gordon and nodded silently.
Dr. Gordon made Suze leave behind two eggshell pieces. He wrapped the rest in newspaper and put them into a shoebox, padded with some more newspaper crumpled up, then put out his hand for Dewey's.
Dewey shook her head. "Can I just hold mine?" She didn't want it to get mixed up with Suze's. After a glance at his wife, Dr. Gordon shrugged and tied the shoebox shut with string and put it in the trunk. They took off their shoes and socks and brushed all the dust off before they got into the car.
"Thanks, Daddy," Suze said. She kissed him on the cheek and climbed into the back seat. "I bet this is the best birthday party I'll ever, ever have."
Dewey thought that was probably true. It was the most wonderful place she had ever been. As they drove east, she pressed her face to the window, smiling out at the desert. She closed her eyes and felt the comforting weight of the treasure held tight against her chest. One last present from Papa, a piece of the beautiful green glass sea.

--- layout: post title: "ATM Machine" subtitle: "usage have changed" date: 2020-04-04 23:45:13 -0400 background: '/img/posts/05.png' thumbnail: '/renancoelho/img/atm-thumb.png' ---
This UX design exercise was chosen after I observed people in a queue waiting to use an ATM machine.
Most used ATMs in Brazil are in the banks, but even that nowadays many people use their bank app we still have to use the ATM for some tasks. So it's a great opportunity for a project trying to improve ATM users experience.
This study case happens in Brazil so perhaps some points may only make sense for user experience at the ATM machines of brazilian banks.
I have done this project on my own and it took me about 5 months.
On the first stage of research I interviewed some coworkers and relatives. After that a survey was created to be shared and test some assumptions and also to understand better the current user experience.
The survey was answered by 8 participants.
"""foto mostra longa fila e possivelmente alguém com a mão na cintura esperando o caixa."""
An affinity map was created with the answers gathered from the survey.
Reviewing this affinity map and the first interviews notes it was possible to elaborate a User Journey and state the design problems we should adress.
- Withdrawing and deposit are the most frequent tasks at ATMs;
- Users would like to do as much as possible on the app, but some functions still need them to go to an ATM or even inside the bank to talk to someone, like update personal information, deal with loan details, limit adjsutments etc;
- Losing time is still a big deal for ATMs. People wait on the line, wait for the machine to recongnize their card, wait for the machine to verify their password or biometrics and they wait for the machine to select and deliver the money.
As the most frequent tasks aren't numerous we can start by bringing them to the home screen.
But as we can't let the used tasks more difficult to find we could make use of a search bar which the users can search for the key words related to the tasks they want to do.
The ATM could run the authentications on the background while the users advance some steps in their tasks instead of waiting for the machine to allow them to go further.
So the result after some iterations and adjustments is:
- A simple interface with the most used services on top along with a SEARCH BAR to find the less used ones in an easier and faster way. Yet some BUTTONS for each main service category which are used from time to time;
- Regarding time efficiency the interface runs the authentications on second plan to PREVENT users from IDLE WAITING to proceed the necessary steps of the desired task.
As an example, let's take a look at the withdrawing user flow:
The user insert his card but the most used options are already available to get going even before card and biometric authentication are complete.
This way a user could, for example, insert the card touch the biometric sensor and choose the withdrawing option. While the ATM is checking his card, his account, biometric data and his balance information he does not have to stop and wait the ATM to show the next steps.
Fill the amount of money he wants to withdraw and chose which set of bills he would preffer.
Now he can Retrieve his card while the machine is getting his set of bills ready to deliver, because biometrics was acquired and verified on the beginning.
