Earth Changes and the Human-Cosmic Connection

Figure 100, the yellow horizontal "impact" line: You can very hardly see that it is a yellow line. no-man's-land will correct that I think...

I've uploaded figures 69, 70, 75 and 93 to the same location. Linear regression if figure 93 (blue line) wasn't calculated but drawn using visual approximation. Right now only figure 36 left and I want to ask for advice how to represent data. Should we truncate bars above 7000 (like the last bar in original image) or is it better to zoom out and show actual bar sizes?

Great work, thanks! Table is updated. For Figure number 36 I would say lets try how a actual bar size would look like and if it is readable.

By the way which do you have the original PSD file formats for the pictures?

For figure 36 and figure 69 we need to use the US data (not the world wide data). I've removed the worldwide data from the table, since it was a bit confusing I guess. That means we need need to change your picture of figure 69 to the US data (since you used the worldwide data).

The reason why PSD would be convenient is because of the translation. A fileformat with separate layers for each text make it much more easier to replace the original text with the translation instead of editing the image from scratch again. Does the SVG format contain the text as separate elements too?

Yes, in SVG every single object can be edited separately. SVG is an open alternative to Corel Draw and Adobe Illustrator formats (mentioning only the most popular ones). PSD is a raster based format and there's no single reason to use it for translating images considering price of Photoshop and restriction to raster only exports.

During EC&HCC translation to Russian I created the set of all (141) translatable images in SVG format. Images were exported to JPG and PDF and uploaded into PublishR. Not only quality of images improved dramatically but final size of the book in PDF shrinked by 45%.

Pashalis, if you have access to PublishR you may check image100.ru.pdf there. It was recreated purely in vector. Also I can PM you a link to all images in SVGZ (zipped SVG) format.

I'll update figure 69 and put image to the same location.

That would be nice... Can you also send it to no-man'​s-land please?

 

[aimarok]

I've sent a message but I can't see it my sent items . Please confirm if you received it.

 

[no-mans-land]

I received the message, thanks for the files! Saves a lot of time.

I received the message, thanks for the files! Saves a lot of time.

Recieved the message as well...

I've updated figures 36/69 using USA data. Fingers crossed you won't find another mistake in data ;D. Source SVG/ODG images were put inside "English/Updated" directory.

Pashalis, it looks like figure 36 should contain world data. Original image has a peak of 18430 events in 2012. USA data has only 17583 events in this year.

I guess the different numbers are because they were collected (counted) on a different date. It might be that we inadvertently used the data for the whole world somewhere at the beginning and that's why they are different. I think the US Data alone is the most objective one and probably what Pierre had in mind there.

Correct me if I'm wrong here...

Exactly and from the US data (being the most comprehensive ones) we deduced figures on a global scale:

The AMS database focuses on the USA which constitute less than 2% of the Earth’s surface. Can we deduce from this that the total number of observed fireballs across the planet in 2013 was 50 times the number observed over the USA? If so, the world total for 2013 would then amount to almost one million sightings.

Thank you for clarification, Pierre.

Just finished reading this book, and what an amazing piece of work. Much gratitude to laura and team for their hard efforts in digging and compiling all the information.
