Hey, Does anybody know of a good Geocode library for Ruby, similar to Perl''s Geocode::Postal, that i could use in my rail app? I need to do some "within 5 miles" calculations of zipcodes and i dont have a nice ruby (or gem) utility to do it. any help would be appreciated. thanks adam _______________________________________________ Rails mailing list

Is there any package that I could use for zipcode search. I want to display schools that near a particular zipcode. I have no idea how to do this. It will be great if anyone can point me where I could find info -- Rgds, --Siva Jagadeesan http://www.varcasa.com/ Education Through Collabration -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

hey There I've been trying to match 2 lists in R I have an excel sheet containing all the 51states of amerika devided by zipcode. the columns are : zip,city, state, latitude,longitude,count so now I want R to make a new table that I could use to draw a map. The table should consist the name of the state plus the count. Like I said I have all the zipcodes and the count for the zipcodes, so now

i've search the email archives, searched the documention of various map packages and done an R-site search, but have been unable to find direct resources for creating maps of the US that are colored or annotated or ... by zipcode data. For example, create a map of the US and color each zipcode region by its population using two vectors z,p containing the zipcode and population,

I am interested in locating a script to implement a sampling scheme that would basically make it more likely that a particular observation is chosen based on a weight associated with the observation. I am trying to select a sample of ~30 census blocks from each ZIP code area based on the proportion of women in a ZCTA living in a particular block. I want to make it more likely that a block will

I'm working with some data, and am trying to generate it in the following format. state city zipcode I like pizza 0 0 0 I live in Denver 0 1 0 All the fun stuff is in Alaska 1 0 0 he lives in 66062

Hi all, I try to use kernel 2.6.36.1 in HVM but building the drivers xen-blkfront, xenfs, platform-pci. I used Xen 4.0.2-rc1-pre and a DomU is a ubuntu 10.04 and I try with ubuntu 10.10. In boot I receive error "Cannot find a root partition /dev/xvda2" and a prompt (initramfs) appear. In dmesg (initramfs) appear: blkfront: xvda: barriers enabled (tag) xvda: xvda1 vbd vbd-51712: 16

I am about to purchase a laptop strictly for development (ruby & rails) and then leverage my existing large screen monitor with it when in the office. Laptop monitor for running tests, large screen for development etc. Wondering what the consensus is now on most ideal environment for rails at this point? Macbook pro + textmate? Pc with unbuntu + vim(or whatever)? what are most professional

Does anyone have any recommendations for working with zip code distance ranges? I need to calculate the distances between US zip codes.

Dear all, i have a programming problem that should be simple, though i am stuck with it. Please note that this is not a specific geonames problem, though i use it as an example - it´s just a basic problem with lapply. I use the geonames webservices with the R geonames packages which works almost smoothly. I have a vector of Zipcodes and i want to do a geonames lookup for all of them, which

Sorry for the contents not relating to R. Assume there are N i.i.d zero-mean complex gaussian random variables(RVs),as w(i),0<=i<N} with known variance,from which one can generate another N RVs,as R(0)=sum over i {w(i)*w'(i)} R(1)=sum over i {w(i+1)*w'(i)} ... up to R(N-1)= w(N-1)w'(i) where w'(i) is the complex conjugate of w(i). (from viewpoint of signal

>From basic statistics principle,we know,given several i.i.d Gaussian RVs with zero or nonzero mean,the sum of square of them is a central or noncentral Chi-distributed RV.However if these Gaussian RVs have different variances,what does the sum of square of them obey? Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I was wondering how to generate samples for two RVs X1 and X2. X1 ~ Bernoulli (p1) X2 ~ Bernoulli (p2) Also, X1 and X2 are correlated with correlation \rho. Regards, Vineet [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Full_Name: Uffe H?gsbro Thygesen Version: 2.2.0 OS: linux Submission from: (NULL) (130.226.135.250) Hello all. pbinom(q=0,size=0,prob=0.5) returns the value NaN. I had expected the result 1. In fact any value for q seems to give an NaN. Note that dbinom(x=0,size=0,prob=0.5) returns the value 1. Cheers, Uffe

(This is an extension of an email I sent earlier, but I'm not sure if it made it to the list or not.... I never saw it!) We seem to be accumulating Cisco 8XX series ISDN routers as DSL becomes more and more available in Australia and our clients upgrade. Does anyone know if those routers can make the ISDN channels available in a way that can be used by Asterisk? Preferably in a fairly raw

This is Off-Topic for Asterisk, but I wanted to get some feedback on headsets for Cisco 7940/7960 phones. We have about 10-20 people who wants/needs a headset for their phone & was hoping to collect some real-world input. Thanks!!

Hi, I have to draw samples from an asymmetric-Laplace-Normal distribution: f(u|y, x, beta, phi, sigma, tau) \propto exp( - sum( ( abs(lo) + (2*tau-1)*lo )/(2*sigma) ) - 0.5/phi*u^2), where lo = (y - x*beta) and y=(y_1, ..., y_n), x=(x_1, ..., x_n) -- sorry for this huge formula -- A WinBUGS Gibbs sampler and the HI package arms sampler were used with the same initial data for all parameters. I

Hello. It seems very very strange to me that nobody talks about connecting ISDN lines to asterisk using a device with RCAPI Support. There are some devices (most of them isdn routers, like the famous Cisco 800 family) that support this protocol. It basically is an ISDN to IP gateway. There used to be software that used this technology to send and receive faxes, act as voicemail and even ISDN

Quick question. Say I have a geographical database with counties and zip codes where counties have and belong to many zip codes. zip_codes (id, zip_code) counties (id, name) When I create the association table, the Rails way says to do the following: counties_zip_codes (county_id, zip_code_id). However, given that zip_codes.zip_code is itself a candidate key, I would much prefer to do the
