Hi Frans, Thanks for telling me it's working. A Physician relative, familiar with Sleep Clinics, once told me that hours of sleep are not prescribed directly since the mindset of patients is as you describe. Instead, Pyhsicians recommend ways to do other tasks faster or not at all. I am sure there are Physicians around who can figure out the math. And, this is not misdirection; an ethical problem. A CRS is ethical provided it is not streched when transformed by axis rotation. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Circle_Area.svg). There are only 24 Hours in a day. We have to reuse calendar <rdfs:Labels> after 1461 days. I am certain of this. Sadly, Tax Collectors seem to agree :-) --Gannon -------------------------------------------- On Tue, 9/16/14, Frans Knibbe | Geodan <frans.knibbe@geodan.nl> wrote: Subject: Re: A proposal for two additional properties for LOCN To: "Gannon Dick" <gannon_dick@yahoo.com> Cc: "LocAdd W3C CG Public Mailing list" <public-locadd@w3.org> Date: Tuesday, September 16, 2014, 5:50 AM Hello Gannon, Thank you for correcting the spelling mistake (yes, meter should be metre). The graphs are working here, using OpenOffice. But I do protest against the assertion that leisure time is what remains from a day if you substract time for working, sleeping, eating and commuting. If it were only so... :-) Regards, Frans On 2014-09-10 21:07, Gannon Dick wrote: -------------------------------------------- On Wed, 9/10/14, Frans Knibbe | Geodan <frans.knibbe@geodan.nl> wrote: So now I tend to agree that using a value and a unit to specify the spatial resolution could be the best solution. Perhaps we can make the unit default to meter, if it is not specified? ----------------------------------------------- Yes, use the metric system (metre). It is now based on (frequency^2) not (velocity^2). Originally it was based on the distance between the Equator and the North Pole (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metre). The subtle "problem" here is that the range of the Latitude "parameter" (0-90 Degrees, 0-91.3125 Days, 0-100 Centigrade) is is cut in half (again, since the defininition already limited the range to the Northern Hemisphere) while the Longitude range (0-360 Degrees, 0-365.25 Days, or Gradians/Centigrade 0-400) remains full scale. "Temperature" on an absolute scale does not range well. The apparent length of day depends on Latitude alone. I cannot get the graph objects in MS Excel and ODS to play nicely, so unfortunately I can't show you the true-up. What I can do is demonstrate that the small yearly variation in the 365.25 day long "Year" and the 24 Hour long "Day" average out over a Julian Century. Americans and the British are already using the metric system, they just don't know it. http://www.rustprivacy.org/2014/balance/wake-sleep.zip (Please let me know if the graphs are working. The Sleep, Work, Lunch and Commute parameters are input on the "Control" page) --Gannon Frans Knibbe Geodan President Kennedylaan 1 1079 MB Amsterdam (NL) T +31 (0)20 - 5711 347 E frans.knibbe@geodan.nl www.geodan.nl | disclaimer
