Harry "The Hipster" Gibson (June 27, 1915 – May 3, 1991) was a jazz pianist, singer and songwriter.[1]
Gibson played New York style Stride piano and boogie woogie while singing in a wild, unrestrained style. His music career began in the late 1920s, when as the young Harry Raab, his birth name, he played stride piano in Dixieland jazz bands in Harlem. He continued to perform there throughout the 1930s, adding the barrelhouse boogie of the time to his repertoire, and was discovered by Fats Waller in 1939 and brought down to mid-town Manhattan, where he made a splash and changed his surname to Gibson.[2] Between 1939 and 1945, he played at various Manhattan jazz clubs on 52nd Street ("Swing Street"), most notably the Three Deuces, run by Irving Alexander,[3] and Leon and Eddies, run by Leon Enkin and Eddie Davis.
In the 1940s, Gibson was known for writing unusual songs, which are considered ahead of their time (citation needed). He was also known for his unique, wild singing style (citation needed), his energetic and unorthodox piano styles(citation needed), and for his intricate mixture of hardcore, gutbucket boogie rhythms with ragtime, stride and jazz piano styles (citation needed). Gibson took the boogie woogie beat of his predecessors, but he made it frantic (citation needed), similar to the rock and roll music of the 1950s[4] Examples of his wild style are found in the songs "Riot in Boogie" and "Barrelhouse Boogie". An example of his strange singing style is in the song "The Baby and the Pup." Other songs that Gibson recorded were "Handsome Harry, the Hipster", "I Stay Brown All Year 'Round", "Get Your Juices at the Deuces", and "Stop That Dancin' Up There." Gibson recorded a great deal, but there are very few visual examples of his act. However, in New York in 1944, he filmed three songs for the Soundies film jukeboxes, and he went to Hollywood in 1946 to guest star in the feature-length film musical Junior Prom.[5] Gibson preceded the first white rock and rollers by a decade, but the Soundies he recorded show significant similarities to rock and roll.[6]

While working on "Swing Street" at night, Gibson was a fellow at the Juilliard Graduate School during the day.[7] At the time, Juilliard was strictly a classical music academy, and Gibson excelled there, which partly explains the richness of the music he brought to the jazz world (citation needed). ( if anything he brought a richness to classical music, with his boogie WOOGIE training). The other part of the explanation is, his own inventiveness, and Gibson was almost always billed and promoted as a musical genius.
Unlike Mezz Mezzrow, who was white but consciously abandoned his ethnicity to adopt the black music and culture as a "white negro," Gibson grew up near Harlem, New York City. Gibson's constant use of black jive talk was not an affectation; it was simply his uptown New York dialect. His song, "I Stay Brown All Year Round" is based on this issue.[8] In his autobiography,[9] Gibson claims he coined the term hipster some time between 1939 and 1945, when he was performing on Swing Street and he started using "Harry the Hipster" as his stage name.[10]
His career went into a tailspin in 1947, when his song "Who Put the Benzedrine in Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine" put him on the music industry blacklist.[11] His own drug use led to his decline, and with the rising popularity of young rock-and-roll musicians among teenagers in the 1950s, older musicians were not in demand. He spent time in and around Miami during the 1950s, and just before Christmas 1956 he appeared at the Ball & Chain on the same bill with Billie Holiday. In the 1960s, when Gibson saw the huge success of The Beatles, he decided to switch over to rock-and-roll. By the 1970s, he was playing hard rock, blues, bop, novelty songs and a few songs that mixed ragtime with rock-and-roll, and his hipster act became a hippie act. His old records were revived by Dr. Demento, particularly "Benzedrine" which was included in his 1975 compilation album Dr. Demento's Delights.
His comeback resulted in three more albums. Harry the Hipster Digs Christmas, made of new recordings in 1974, is a home recording and is not noteworthy. Two professionally produced albums were released after this, which were Everybody's Crazy but Me, (its title taken from the lyrics of "Stop That Dancin' Up There"), by Progressive Records in 1986, and Who Put the Benzedrine in Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine released in 1989 by Delmark Records. Those two albums include some jazz, blues, ragtime, and rock and roll songs about reefer, nude bathing, hippie communes, strip clubs, male chauvinists, "rocking the 88s", and even about how hip Shirley MacLaine is.[12]
Harry's family did a biographical movie short on Harry's life and music in 1991, shortly before his death. The movie is called "Boogie In Blue" and was published as a VHS video that year.
Suffering from congestive heart failure, Harry had long ago decided that he would end life on his own terms if he ever became chronically ill. Harry Gibson took his own life by putting a handgun to his head on May 3, 1991.[13]

The access level of a declared element is the extent of the ability to access it, that is, what code has permission to read it or write to it. This is determined not only by how you declare the element itself, but also by the access level of the element's container. Code that cannot access a containing element cannot access any of its contained elements, even those declared as Public. For example, a Public variable in a Private structure can be accessed from inside the class that contains the structure, but not from outside that class.

Recommended pH range for the species: 6.6 - 7.3
Recommended water hardness (dGH): 6 - 15°N (107.14 - 267.86ppm)
0°C 32°F30°C 86°F
Recommended temperature: 22 - 26 °C (71.6 - 78.8°F)
The way how these fish reproduce: Spawning
Where the species comes from: South Asia
Temperament to its own species: peaceful
Temperament toward other fish species: peaceful
Usual place in the tank: Middle levels
Food and feeding
Canara pearlspots are very shy feeders and cannot compete with some species at feeding time. They will accept small amounts of brine shrimp, blood worms and daphnia but it may be difficult to get them to accept commercial flake foods.
South West India; Canara pearlspot is found in the waterways of South Canara.
There are no visible differences between the sexes.
There are no reported cases of Canara pearlspots breeding in the aquarium but in the wild they will deposit their eggs on a rock or stone and be excellent parents, raising their fry for several months. It is also believed that the fry will feed on mucus produced by the parents in a similar fashion to discus.
It is believed to have a life span of 5-8 years.
To replicate their natural habitat, provide flowing water in the aquarium with plenty of hiding places provided by rocks or wood. Use a high filtration system and do not keep Etroplus canarensis with aggressive species.

text: - Typical recommender systems adopt a static view of the recommendation process and treat it as a prediction problem. We argue that it is more appropriate to view the problem of generating recommendations as a sequential optimization problem and, consequently, that Markov decision processes (MDPs) provide a more appropriate model for recommender systems. MDPs introduce two benefits: they take into account the long-term effects of each recommendation and the expected value of each recommendation. To succeed in practice, an MDP-based recommender system must employ a strong initial model, must be solvable quickly, and should not consume too much memory. In this paper, we describe our particular MDP model, its initialization using a predictive model, the solution and update algorithm, and its actual performance on a commercial site. We also describe the particular predictive model we used which outperforms previous models. Our system is one of a small number of commercially deployed recommender systems. As far as we know, it is the first to report experimental analysis conducted on a real commercial site. These results validate the commercial value of recommender systems, and in particular, of our MDP-based approach.

Signing the agreement for the water production plant extension
Water Corporation of the Province of North Sumatra, Indonesia, PDAM Tirtanadi, has awarded SUEZ the contract for the extension of the drinking water production plant located in Medan, Indonesia's third largest city.
The extension of this Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) contract for a period of 25 years was €191 million (US$235 million) and includes the funding, building, operation, and transfer of two additional water production units for the plant in Medan. This agreement is in line with SUEZ's international growth dynamic, which is seeing the Group strengthen its position in Indonesia and marks a new step in the drinking water supply in the region.
The project will improve access to drinking water for Medan's booming population, and will also contribute to the goal of the local authorities of supplying more than 84 per cent of population with drinking water by 2020, as compared to the 73.2 per cent today.
SUEZ had originally finalised the first phase of the drinking water production plant in Medan in 2001, and has operated it since. With a production capacity of 43,200m³/day, the plant supplies potable water to 150,000 residents of the North Sumatra Province capital. The plant's extension project will bring its production up to 77,760 m³/day.
The ground-breaking ceremony in Medan, Indonesia
The contract includes the funding and installation of two degremont® compact drinking water production units (UCD®), a modular solution that increases production in a fast and simple manner that is also in compliance with the applicable regulations. Each unit is made up of interchangeable modules for reduced civil engineering costs and rapid installation with no impact on existing structures. In all, the system provides comprehensive, reliable, and robust treatment with a minimal footprint and optimal ease of operation.
The engineering and construction period for these units will end in 2020 and will then be followed by a 25-year operating period.
"This new contract illustrates the excellent partnership that has been maintained since 2000 between PDAM Tirtanadi and SUEZ," Marie-Ange Debon, Group Deputy CEO in charge of the International Division of SUEZ, said. "We are proud to continue our collaboration for the next 25 years to support the development of the city of Medan by guaranteeing access to water for the growing population and industries in the area."

Pulse accelerator drone
A Pulse Accelerator Drone
A Pulse Accelerator Drone (Kor'vesa in the Tau Lexicon) is a type of Tau Drone (small, sleek, disc-shaped, semi-sentient machines) employed extensively alongside Tau units in battle. Pulse Accelerator Drones have to date only been deployed as part of Pathfinder reconnaissance teams during the Third Sphere Expansion. All Pulse Accelerator Drones are equipped with a Pulse Accelerator, which is an advanced device that emits a powerful induction field. This field accelerates the speed of pulse charges fired by any Pulse Weapons in the vicinity, thereby increasing their overall range by a significant amount.
Pulse Accelerator Drones consist of an advanced processor unit, which individually has only a basic intelligence (approximately that of a small animal such as a pterasquirrel), and moves about by way of a small anti-gravitic generator and a smaller and much modified version of a Tau Jetpack. This allows the Pulse Accelerator Drone to hover over the ground and skim over most obstacles. As they hover over landscapes, rotating back and forth, their sensor vane constantly transmits vital information about their surroundings.
Pulse Accelerator Drones that are attached to a Tau squad can be controlled by a Drone Controller, whether it is in the form of a support system for a Tau Battlesuit, or a hard-wired piece of wargear for Tau infantry. A Drone Controller is an electronic device that can be used by the Tau to further enhance their control over their robotic companions. A Drone Controller acts as a hub of digital communications between the Drone's operator and any Drones that are nearby the user. It serves as an advanced interface between the operator and the artificial intelligence (AI) combat programs of the Drones, and is often used to direct the Drones' firepower far more efficiently and with a level of accuracy far greater than would otherwise be possible on the battlefield.
So deeply do the Tau believe in the Greater Good, that even their Drones are programmed with self-preservation protocols. In the face of what the AI deems to be hopeless odds, a Drone will attempt to escape rather than stand and fight. While in certain extreme circumstances Drones might be deployed on high-risk missions likely to lead to their destruction or purposefully moved to block enemy advances on units of Fire Warriors, the Tau do not consider Drones to be disposable units and the Drone artificial intelligence will analyse every possibility in order to ensure its own survival.

How to get list of parameters name from a function in Python?
 - Last Updated : 29 Dec, 2020
Geek Week
In this article, we are going to discuss how to get list parameters from a function in Python. The inspect module helps in checking the objects present in the code that we have written. We are going to use two methods i.e. signature() and getargspec() methods from the inspect module to get the list of parameters name of function or method passed as an argument in one of the methods.
Using inspect.signature() method
Below are some programs which depict how to use the signature() method of the inspect module to get the list of parameters name:
Example 1: Getting the parameter list of a method.
Python3
# import required modules
import inspect
import collections

# use signature()
print(inspect.signature(collections.Counter))
Output:
(*args, **kwds)
Example 2: Getting the parameter list of an explicit function.
Python3
# explicit function
def fun(a, b):
 return a**b

# import required modules
import inspect

# use signature()
print(inspect.signature(fun))
Output:
(a, b)
Example 3: Getting the parameter list of an in-built function.
Python3
# import required modules
import inspect

# use signature()
print(inspect.signature(len))
Output:
(obj, /)
Using inspect.getargspec() method
Below are some programs which depict how to use the getargspec() method of the inspect module to get the list of parameters name:
Example 1: Getting the parameter list of a method.
Python3
# import required modules
import inspect
import collections

# use getargspec()
print(inspect.getargspec(collections.Counter))
Output:
ArgSpec(args=[], varargs='args', keywords='kwds', defaults=None)
Example 2: Getting the parameter list of an explicit function.
Python3
# explicit function
def fun(a, b):
 return a**b

# import required modules
import inspect

# use getargspec()
print(inspect.getargspec(fun))
Output:
ArgSpec(args=['a', 'b'], varargs=None, keywords=None, defaults=None)
Example 3: Getting the parameter list of an in-built function.
Python3
# import required modules
import inspect

# use getargspec()
print(inspect.getargspec(len))
Output:
ArgSpec(args=['obj'], varargs=None, keywords=None, defaults=None)

What Does Bridge the Gap Mean?
Bridge the Gap Meaning
Definition: To connect things in a logical way; to have qualities of two different things; to fill in a space between two things.
Essentially, at its minimal meaning, bridge the gap means to diminish the differences between two things. This can be by adding something intermediary, as in, "Scholarships were provided to bridge the gap between students with money and students without money." or it can mean to find an existing similarity between the two, as in, "Their love of brownies bridged the gap between the two people who otherwise hated each other."
Origin of Bridge the Gap
meaning of bridge the gapBridge comes from the Old English brycgian, which means to make a causeway. Gap is an early 14th-century word meaning an opening in a wall, a break, a breach.
The broader meaning of unfilled space or interval, any hiatus or interruption didn't come about until around 1600, and it is likely that the metaphorical meaning of bridge the gap did not come about until after this—not until after the version to stop a gap was popular. Stop a gap, later stopgap, was something contrived to meet an urgent need or emergency.
The earliest newspaper examples of the idiom as seen today were not until the late-1800s, with a May 1888 issue of The Pacific commercial advertiser reading,
 - Two hundred and seven circulating planetary bodies bridge the gap between Jupiter and Mars, the complete investigation of the movements of any of which would overtask the energies of a life-time.
Examples of Bridge the Gap
bridge the gap meaningIn the modern day, this idiom is used in casual conversations as well as in business conversations.
In its most literal meaning, people may say,
 - They are planning to bridge the gap with a 40 foot-long structure this spring.
If there is a noticeable and problematic difference between two things, one could say,
 - They will bridge the gap between German speakers and non-German speakers by providing a translator.
 - The knowledge gap between those at the top and those at the bottom can only be solved through a change in education.
More Examples
 - Bridging the gap between old and young will not be easy, and is clearly not something the Government can do: no one wants the state telling families how they should live. –The Telegraph
 - We wanted to bridge the gap [between healthy and filling food] and create a palate-satisfying hearty meal that wasn't heavy. The result? An 85% plant-based menu sprinkled with enough animal protein to feed the soul. –Ocean Drive
To bridge the gap is to connect two otherwise unrelated things by adding something or by finding common ground.


Agent-based vs. agentless backup: Pros and cons
Backup expert W. Curtis Preston discusses the pros and cons of agent-based backup software, such as TSM or Netvault, compared to an agentless backup product like Asigra.
Backup software take-away: Agent-based backup software, such as TSM or Netvault, is compared to an agentless backup solution like Asigra in this tip.
A reader recently asked: What are the pros and cons of agent-based backup software like IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) or BakBone NetVault compared to an agentless backup solution like Asigra? Which would be better for a SMB environment?
The advantage to an agent-based architecture is that it can provide its own authentication mechanisms. The agent is always running as a service/daemon, and the server authenticates itself using a proprietary mechanism that doesn't usually involve the creation of a username and password on the client. (There are some agent-based architectures that still require the root/administrator password of the machine to be backed up. That's just lazy programming.) The disadvantage to an agent-based architecture is that you have to manage an agent installed on potentially hundreds or even thousands of client machines.
An agentless architecture doesn't require the management of agent software; however, it must rely on established communication protocols (e.g., FTP, CIFS/SMB, TELNET, SSH) to communicate with the client. Therefore, the backup server must communicate with each client using a pre-arranged username and password, usually a privileged one. (It must be privileged enough to access all data that must be backed up.)
I think either architecture would work just fine in an SMB environment. It's the enterprise that would have the strongest opinions about the values or merits of an agent-based or agentless architecture. While a company with 1000 systems to back up would see a great benefit from not having to manage an agent on each machine, they might also object to storing the username and password of a privileged account on the backup server (even if it's encrypted).

Two Pointer technique in Java
What is Two pointer technique?
A two pointer technique is a technique where given a sorted array we have two starting points or two points of consideration as they both move towards the middle of the array being iterated over, the two pointer technique is a useful tool to utilize when searching for pairs in a sorted array. Although not it's only use case, when used this technique can save both time and space complexity.
when iterating through the data in a linear fashion we usually have a single entry point and we move through the data in one direction.
Given a sorted array we need to find the pair of number which sums up to the given number x.
Approach 1: Brute Force Solution
In the brute force solution of the problem we use a loop within a loop to iterate over all of the elements in the array, forming every possible pair combination and having the time complexity of O(n^2)
This approach takes too much time to run, which can further be optimized to run in O(n) time complexity.
Approach 2: Two Pointer Solution
Now let's look how the two pointer solution works and gives a better time complexity than brute force solution,
We take two pointers one which points to the first element(low) and one which points to the last element(high) of the array now according to the problem statement given we add the last and the first values together and check if the sum matches with the provided sum (x) if the computed sum is less than the given sum(x) then we increment the low pointer and if the sum is greater the given sum(x) we decrement the high pointer, we do this till we get the desired sum or the low > high.
Boolean pairSum(int Arr[], int n, int x)
// represents first pointer
int low = 0;
// represents second pointer
int high = n - 1;
while (low < high) {
// If we find a pair
if (Arr[low] + Arr[high] == x)
return true;
// If sum of elements at current
// pointers is less, we move towards
// higher values by doing low++
else if (Arr[low] + Arr[high] < x)
// If sum of elements at current
// pointers is more, we move towards
// lower values by doing high--
return false;
For this algorithm to work effectively we assume that we are given a sorted array and we move the pointers toward the center of the array so we do not miss any pair and we move one pointer only if the above conditions are met so that no pair is left untouched and every pair is checked once.

20 Movies Banned in the United States – Which Bette Midler Movie?
BY JAMIE BURTON
Movies can be heartwarming, uplifting, and entertaining, but they can also be disturbing, controversial, and downright shocking. Over the history of cinema, many movies have been deemed too offensive to be seen by audiences and subsequently banned to protect viewers.
Whether for political reasons, acts of indecency, or because of religious beliefs, films of all types can find themselves in trouble and receive a ban before they're even released.
Here's a list of 20 movies that caused a stir and were duly banned in the United States of America.
The Birth of a Nation – 1915
An incredibly important film in the history of cinema and in American history, The Birth of a Nation was originally called The Clansman.
The silent movie was banned in several American cities for its racist content and portrayal of the Ku Klux Klan. Many of the black characters seen on screen are played by white actors in blackface, and it also shows African American men as sexually aggressive toward white women. Meanwhile, KKK members are portrayed as the heroes of the movie.
Although controversial, it was selected for preservation in the National Film Registry because it is "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."Birth of a Nation was a technical advancement in cinema history, but it contains incredibly outdated views. David W. Griffith Corp
Birth Control – 1917
The movie was produced by and starred sexual health activist and educator Margaret Sanger. She decided to make a film about birth control and family planning.
The New York Court of Appeals agreed the movie had to be censored "in the interest of morality, decency, and public safety and welfare."
Häxan – 1922
This Swedish silent horror movie was banned for seven years after its production because of its use of torture, nudity, and its themes of witchcraft and Satanism.
It was frequently banned or censored when released in countries outside of Sweden.
Scarface – 1932
1932's Scarface starred Paul Muni as Tony Camonte in the lead role. David W. Griffith Corp
Not the Al Pacino version. The original Scarface was based loosely on the 1929 novel Armitage Trail.
The movie was censored by some states and banned in five others for its glorification of crime.
Ecstacy – 1933
This Czech film was banned for its highly suggestive content. This included showing sexual intercourse and female orgasm, although it never showed more than the actor's face. The film wouldn't play in the United States until 1935 when it was censored in many states and banned in Pennsylvania altogether.
Ossessione – 1943
Ossessione fell foul of copyright issues and was banned in the U.S. for 33 years. The Italian movie is based on the James M. Cain novel The Postman Always Rings Twice to which MGM owned the rights.
Lost Boundaries – 1949
This movie was banned in Atlanta and Memphis for its racial themes. It was reported to be banned because it was liable to "create dissension and strife between members of the white and colored races, and would be likely to cause disorders, disturbances, and clashes between the races."
The Vanishing Prairie – 1954
Not many Walt Disney programs are very controversial in the United States, but this documentary managed to get banned in New York. The movie about pioneers on the Oregon Trail upset some people because it showed a buffalo giving birth. The ban was eventually lifted after a complaint by the American Civil Liberties Union.
Viva Maria! – 1963
Brigitte Bardot and Jeanne Moreau starred in this adventure comedy movie that was banned in Dallas for its sexual and anti-Catholic content.
Titicut Follies – 1967
"Titicut Follies" was taken out of distribution for the invasion of privacy of inmates at a prison for the criminally insane. Zipporah Films, Inc.
This documentary movie about criminally insane prison inmates was banned from distribution because it was considered a violation of the privacy for the patients featured.
It was banned from distribution in Massachusetts by court order.
I am Curious (Yellow) – 1967
The state of Massachusetts banned this movie about the sexual awakening of a young girl as it was classed as pornography. The Supreme Court eventually overturned the ban and the obscenity rules for films as a whole changed shortly after that.
Pink Flamingos – 1972
John Waters' movie shocked many audiences with its graphic and obscene content. New Line Cinema
John Waters's comedy was banned across many towns in America for 25 years. Its portrayal of homosexuality, explicit sexual content, animal cruelty, and inclusion of the lead character eating dog feces turned many a stomach. His next dark comedy Female Trouble was also reportedly banned for similar themes.
The Thorn – 1974
This religious satire was banned after being re-released in 1974 because of how it exploited the fame of one of the stars, Bette Midler.
The film was legally challenged on the grounds that its title and advertising deceptively exploited Midler's fame. Its release was blocked in the United States, but it did get shown overseas.
The Tin Drum – 1979
German film The Tin Drum was briefly banned in Oklahoma and Canada after its release when a district court judge decided the film contained child pornography. The scene it was banned for allegedly depicted oral sex between an underage boy and a grown woman.
The movie did go on to win the Best Foreign Language award at the Oscars.
Monty Python's Life of Brian – 1979
One of the most famously controversial movies of all time, this British comedy irked many people in the Christian community for its depiction of the story of Christ. It was banned in many small towns across America, but can widely be seen now and is considered a comedy classic.
Cannibal Holocaust – 1980
The title may give away the reason why this Italian movie was banned in several countries. The found-footage style film featured intense gore and was investigated after its release to determine whether the scenes were staged or real.
Seven animals were also killed during the production of the movie with six of those deaths seen on screen. The animals killed included a large turtle, a squirrel monkey, a pig, and a boa constrictor.
The Last Temptation of Christ – 1988
Martin Scorsese's epic movie imagines what life would have been like for Jesus had he not sacrificed himself and died on the cross. Willem Defoe plays Jesus with Harvey Keitel starring as Judas. David Bowie also features as Pontius Pilate.
City leaders in Savannah, Georgia, got the film banned in their town for six weeks, but it went on to get a worldwide release anyway.
The Profit – 2001
The Church of Scientology blocked the release of this movie for five years. The film borrowed elements of the life of Scientology creator L. Ron Hubbard, and it was claimed the movie could taint the jury pool in the inquest into the death of former member Lisa McPherson.
Hillary: The Movie – 2008
Produced by conservative group Citizens United, the release of this video-on-demand documentary was blocked. That's because it was due out in January 2008 and was classed as an electioneering communication as it mentioned a candidate within 30 days of a primary.
This was a violation of the 2002 Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act.
The Yes Men Fix the World – 2009
A film created by the societal and political activists The Yes Men, it was the subject of legal action by the United States Chamber of Commerce over its content.
In order to get around a ban, The Yes Men made the movie available on the internet through BitTorrent and torrent websites. Written by and starring Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, and Carol Cleveland, "Monty Python's Life of Brian" caused uproar across the globe in Christian communities.

Technology for dust concentration measurement after Electrostatic Precipitators or in large stacks
DynamicOpacity™ Ratiometric Opacity technology provides a rugged solution to dust concentration measurement for the dust loadings found after Electrostatic Precipitators or in large stacks in Power, Steel, Cement Plant.
Its ratiometric measurement algorithm provides automatic self-compensating contamination elimination and therefore a rugged alternative to opacity monitoring in industrial applications regulated in terms of mg/m3 instead of historical opacity (colour).
- Core Features of the Technology are:
- Ratiometric measurement permits accurate measurement when lens contaminated up to 90%.
- Instrument can measure in both DynamicOpacity™ and opacity mode and provide concentration and opacity outputs
- Compared to Opacity systems, DynamicOpacity™ systems are far less susceptible to errors caused by lens contamination. In practice, this means they need far less instrument maintenance and smaller air purging systems.
- Due to its ratiometric algorithm, DynamicOpacity™ is much less subject to misalignment.
- Compared to other ratiometric opacity systems, the instruments use an optimised frequency bandwidth which improves the quality of the dust measurement to be accurate enough to pass TUV and MCERTS approvals.
- Automatic electronic Opacity zero and span checks performed by varying the light intensity in the transmitter head.
- Automatic electronic DynamicOpacity™ zero and span checks, to test scintillation count at zero and full scale.
- Optional hand held external Electronic Audit Unit for zero and linearity checks
- Comms check, to test control unit correctly communicating with and reading dynamic opacity readings from the sensor(s).


3 Reasons Why Retailers Should Pay More Attention to Their Backroom
That said, effectively utilizing the backroom is a delicate balance that can make a huge difference in profitability across a portfolio. Retailers are constantly making adjustments to their backroom operations.
Below I've condensed some facts and figures from a recent article by Supply Chain Quarterly (SCQ), my own experience and a few other sources in order to explore the backroom of today's retailers.
1. There is a Balance and a Cost to Manage the Backroom Properly
As available backroom space for inventory increases, the profits increase to a certain point and then profitability begins to fall off quickly.
In the example provided by SCQ, a 1,500 square foot retail store can increase its profits by $300,000 just by increasing its backroom size from 75 to 150 square feet. They go on to explain that a general rule of thumb for backroom size should be approximately 5-10% of the total space to maximize profits.
If too much space is taken in the back, there is less space to sell product in the front. On the other hand when space is limited in the backroom, customer service, available products and organization will suffer.
There are other costs that play into the balancing act retailers encounter in backroom operations, such as labor, equipping, occupancy costs (e.g. rent, utilities, and maintenance), system for organizing and maintaining inventory, inventory holding costs, and in many cases expiration or useful life of perishable goods. All of these costs and systems factor into how a product is packaged, distributed and sold.
2. Pack Size Matters
Inevitably, the size of back end space will vary from store to store so it is important that suppliers are communicating effectively with store personnel and corporate when it comes to determining pack size.
By determining the correct pack size upfront, each store is able to balance space allocation/demand and replenishment more effectively. Packs usually come from a supplier in an "order size" pack which is a larger bulk group that is more easily transported.
Once delivered, the order pack is broken down into smaller "storable packs" that are allocated on the shelves or storage spaces in the backroom. As storable packs are received, they are also added to the inventory as another SKU competing for inventory space.
It has been found that smaller storable packs lead to improved utilization and increased profits for using the same volume of space.
"Reducing the storable pack by 15% for 30% of the top-performing SKUs (that is, those contributing the most to store revenue) increases profit per unit of refrigerated, freezer and ambient equipment by 4-10%."
Some SKUs in the backroom will be ready to hand to customers or they may need to be combined with other SKUs to create a finished good. Think Snickers bar vs. cheeseburger.
Additionally, there are SKUs that are considered essential to the business (e.g. bread dough for Pizza Hut or coffee cups for Starbucks). "Essential SKUs" could include signature items or fundamental ingredients to making products and need to be given priority space.
3. Omnichannel is Complicating Things
In the last few years the front/back end model has been shaken up due to demand for omnichannel capability. Stores are now required to anticipate or be ready for a customer to order online and pick up in store, deliver or facilitate in-store purchases without skipping a beat.
The problem is that online orders for delivery or pick-up may have a different product demand than customers shopping in-store, which makes prioritizing backroom shelf space a major dilemma.
Panera Bread has added new channels like drive through lanes, Rapid Pick-Up and delivery. The placement for Rapid Pick-Up is placed in the customer area to eliminate cost of counter space and need for store personnel to fetch orders.
Companies like IRSG work with retailers to observe how hanging, folded and boxed merchandise is handled from the backroom to the sales floor while getting feedback from the store employees. From there they provide an assessment and suggested actions on how to streamline the process.
In some cases, backroom activities are pushed to the distribution center or 3PL. For example, the cardboard displays you see in the aisles at Walmart and Target are typically picked and packed at the distribution center and brought directly to the sales floor.
In either case, "overflow inventory" or safety stock will become less acceptable as you get closer to the front end of the supply chain. Retailers are beginning to recognize this and sharpen their in-store implementation practices. Sloppy just costs too much.

Kiwi project - Pest monitoring protocol
Purpose 1: To determine the animal pests which are present.
Purpose 2: To present data about our pest management activities.
Purpose 3: To support the proposed translocation of NI robin to Russell in March 2007.
Method: Combination of tracking tunnels, traps and wax tag monitoring.
Pest monitoring lines: 500 metres long, unbiased compass line, N/S where possible.
Note that other species present can include ant, weta, dog, gecko, and others.
Table 1: Structure and targeting of pest monitoring lines
|Rat||Ink card in tracking tunnel||24 hours||Peanut butter||10||50m|
|Stoat/weasel||Ink card in tracking tunnel||3 days||Fresh rabbit||5||100m|
|Cat||SA cat trap||7 days||Fresh meat/fish||3||150m|
|Possum/rat/mice||Wax tab||7 days||Glow bug||20||10m|
Timing - Activation of pest monitoring lines
Pest monitoring occupies an eight day cycle, typically beginning and ending on a Monday as shown in Table 2 below.
Timing - Frequency of activation of pest monitoring lines
- Pest monitoring lines are activated on the above schedules (Tables 1 & 2) once per month for three months.
- The first two cycles are to develop a good picture of the pests present, the scale of the pest levels, and to determine pest management action to lower their presence.
- The third cycle is to determine if the adjustment in pest management techniques has worked or otherwise.
- Further monitoring may be required at this point to fine-tune the pest management system.
- Once a stable situation is demonstrated to exist, test monitoring lines are then activated on a seasonal basis, i.e. three monthly throughout the year.
Table 2: Eight day cycle for pest monitoring
|Monday||Activate the line||10 ink cards for rats||20 numbered wax tags for possums||Set 3 SA traps for cats|
|Tuesday|| ||Collect 10 rat cards, install 5 stoat cards||Check/re-set SAs|
|Wednesday || || || ||Check/re-set SAs|
|Thursday || || || ||Check/re-set SAs|
|Friday || ||Collect stoat cards|| ||Check/re-set SAs|
|Saturday|| || || ||Check/re-set SAs|
|Sunday|| || || ||Check/re-set SAs|
|Monday||De-activate the line||Leave tunnels in position||Collect 20 wax tabs||Check, then remove or de-activate SAs|
Analysis of the pest monitoring
Please inspect the monitoring cards that we use (purchased from Connovation Ltd).
Other indicators of pest levels negatives:
- Dead wildlife (birds, skinks, etc)
- Scratchings on trees (totara are favoured by possum for example)
- Lack of flowering and fruiting by native and exotic plants
- Foliage eaten, and plants/trees dead for no obvious reason
- Wandering dogs and cats
Indicators of good pest control:
- Presence of birds
- Absence of predator sightings
- Ability of orchards to produce fruit
- Able to grow roses
- New plants survive
- Dope growing is possible without netting or poisons
A short guide
It's quite easy to learn to identify animal prints. Read our notes then study your prints.
Rats have 4 toes on the front feet and five on the back. They have lumps on the underside of their feet that leave clear marks.
Mice show as very small dots. Their prints are very similar in layout to those of rats.
Lizards tracks are quite distinctive. Attrcat them through the Trakka using 50:50 banana and honey.
Mustelids if you draw a line between toes 1 and 4 the foot pad will be outside this line.
Hedgehogs both feet are similiar to the human hand with 5 digits only with a centre pad on both feet. The central pad is closer to the toes than that of a rat.

Mass Mania - The New Mass + Heat Transfer Column Model
July 19, 2016
The design and optimization of separation processes is carried out using process simulators which utilize various calculation approaches. ProMax® 4.0 now has both the Ideal Stage method and the Mass + Heat Transfer method available for use in reactive and non-reactive systems. This blog will discuss some basic settings for use of the Mass + Heat Transfer model as implemented in ProMax.
Mass + Heat Transfer Models – User Inputs
While the Mass + Heat Transfer calculation method requires a great deal of information about the system being modeled, much of this is provided automatically by ProMax. This leaves the user with a relatively minimal amount of required inputs. The required information that the user must supply includes the number of calculational increments in the column as well as column details such as tray type or packing type. Additional information that is used in the Mass + Heat Transfer method--but is generally supplied by ProMax--includes transport properties as calculated by the selected property package and mass transfer coefficients/interfacial areas as provided by the selected correlations.
Number of Calculational Increments
Whether a column contains trays or packing, a number of calculational increments, or stages, must be selected by the user. For trayed systems, this number will be equal to the actual number of trays being considered. For packed systems, the number of vertical segments that will represent a given depth of packing must be selected. The total packing depth, number of segments, and height of each segment must be known as well, although definition of any two of these inputs will provide the third. The height of each segment is significant, but a discussion of this topic is beyond the scope of this blog. Further details can be found in the ProMax Help File or by contacting BR&E. In general, a segment height of approximately 18 inches or 0.5 meters is recommended.
Besides the number of trays or the number of segments and packing depth, the Mass + Heat Transfer model requires detailed information of the column internals, regardless of whether the system being modeled is reactive or non-reactive. For trays, this includes information such tray type and spacing, weir heights, fraction active area, etc. For packing, the user should select one of the numerous pre-defined packings available in ProMax for each segment.
Other Values used in Mass + Heat Transfer Calculations
The remaining values required to perform the mass transfer calculations are provided by ProMax. Transport and thermal properties such as diffusivities, viscosities, densities, heat capacities, and thermal conductivities are provided by the thermodynamic package selected in the ProMax environment. Mass transfer coefficients and interfacial areas are provided by the selected Mass Transfer Coefficient correlation or Interfacial Area correlation (if applicable) in the column. Default selections of the various correlations are provided in ProMax, although the selection may be changed by the user. A general discussion of the correlation selections, as well as some other options available to the user, is provided below:
Mass + Heat Transfer Models - Correlations Available in ProMax 4.0
Trayed Column Modeling
Tray Mass Transfer Correlation: The AIChE correlation was developed for bubble-cap trays, is the most widely used, and has been extensively applied to sieve and valve trays. It provides mid-range values for the mass transfer coefficient. Scheffe-Weiland was developed for valve trays and generally yields the most aggressive values for the mass transfer coefficient. Chan-Fair is a modification of the AIChE correlation for sieve trays and gives similar performance. Chen-Chuang, Stichlmair, and Zuiderweg generally give the most conservative values for mass transfer coefficient. These models were developed from sieve trays and in the case of Stichlmair, some valve trays. For further discussion of these correlations, please see the ProMax help topic Overview of Tray Mass Transfer Correlations. In the cases of AIChE, Chan-Fair, and Chen-Chuang, the correlations return a product of the mass transfer coefficient and interfacial area. A selection for an interfacial area correlation is therefore required for kinetically limited systems.
Tray Interfacial Area Correlation: If reaction kinetics are to be considered, the interfacial area must be separable from the mass transfer coefficient, so a correlation must be selected that returns the area alone. The three correlations available (Stichlmair, Zuiderweg, and Scheffe-Weiland) provide relatively similar results.
Packed Column Modeling
Random Mass Transfer Correlation: Onda gives the most conservative value and can be applied to any random packing. Bravo-Fair can also be applied to any random packing, while Billet-Schultes and Hanley-Chen are limited to packing where data are available for the correlation.
Structured Mass Transfer Correlation: Each of the provided correlations are limited to packing where available data exist.
For the selected packing correlations, the interfacial area is assumed to be that of the packing. Selection of an interfacial area correlation for packing is therefore not required.
Mass + Heat Transfer Models - Other options in the M+HT model
Mass Transfer Formulation: General Maxwell-Stefan is the recommended multicomponent vapor-liquid mass transfer formulation. M-S Liquid Only or Vapor Only neglect the transfer resistance in the other phase. Overall Vapor or Liquid phase formulates the problem as more of a binary system, which neglects the drift behavior.
Mixing Model: The default selection, "well-mixed", assumes perfect mixing within each of the phases. If either or both of the phases has little to no back-mixing on a stage, a plug flow model could be a better choice. For example, if a tray flow length is long (2 m diameter with 1 pass), an assumption of perfect mixing within the liquid phase may not suffice, and Liquid Plug Flow may be a better model choice. The Equilibrium Stage selection allows individual trays or packing segments to be modeled as ideal stages. This can be useful for things like water wash trays.
The Help function in ProMax has extensive explanations of all of the dialog parameters. Additional help can be provided by contacting BR&E.
What other adjustments are available to modify column performance?
While BR&E believes the default configuration of Mass + Heat Transfer parameters should calculate very reasonable column results, there could be occasions when a user might want to adjust the performance of a column. In the Process Data-Properties-Column dialog, there are two parameters, Heat Transfer Factor and Interfacial Area Factor, that can be used to adjust performance for the entire column. Interfacial Area Factor multiplies the interfacial area, which impacts both heat and mass transfer. A higher value gives higher transfer. The Heat Transfer Factor is a multiplier as well, but multiplies the heat transfer only. If stage-wise or component-wise mass transfer modification is desired, check under Process Data – PropertiesMass Transfer-Mass Transfer Multipliers. These values increase or decrease the mass transfer of individual components on individual stages. If these modifications are still not enough, ProMax allows for user defined mass transfer coefficients via a user supplied DLL. For more information, please see the help topic "User Defined Mass Transfer Coefficient Information" and contact BR&E Support.


Texture Analyzer – Accuracy, Resolution and Precision Explained
Systems work on the principle of supplying a large range of easily interchangeable load cells, which allow the users of texture analyzers to choose specific capacities relevant to the texture measurement forces they wish to measure.
Texture Analysis accuracy
Texture analysis instruments have the ability to measure load or distance to the absolute true and correct value. Generally defined as a percentage of the full scale range of the measuring device, where the manufacturer states the ability of the instrument to report registered load or distance correctly in relation to a calibrated standard.
Some texture analyzers intelligent load cells operate to 0.1% accuracy of full-scale capacity. If you are using a 10N (1.0kgf) capacity we can expect a margin of error (or inaccuracy), no greater than, +/-1gf. Therefore if the value reported by the instrument for a force is 300gf we can expect our true reading to be between 299gf and 301gf
Resolution is the smallest unit of measure or the smallest change that can be displayed or recorded by an instrument referred to as granularity
This characteristic can be expressed as a percentage or in actual units and is highly influential on the level of accuracy that the instrument can measure at. For Example, A load cell can only operate to 0.1% accuracy of full scale, say +/-1gf therefore the potential error must always be much greater than the 0.15gf resolution that the unit will measure individual changes.
Some texture analyzers have a resolution of 1 part in every 6,500. To calculate this in real terms we divide the capacity of the load cell by 6,500. For Example 1000gf capacity load cell 1,000/6,500 = 0.153gf measurement increments for load, This effectively means that a new load will increment every 0.153gf e.g. For position measurements. A data resolution of 0.0025 mm in its travel span. In other words, there is an event signal from the positional sensor for every 0.0025 mm of movement. Data is recorded at this level of resolution but only displayed at a resolution level of 0.01 mm of travel.
Precision is how reproducible or close identical measurements will be reported as a percentage of full scale.
This is extremely difficult to demonstrate practically as all samples will be slightly different. If calibrated weights are used we can anticipate that our repeatability will be directly a function of accuracy
DATA CAPTURE RATE:
Intelligent filter data from 16,000 down to 2,000 points per second. This enables texture analyzers to operate at a much higher data rate than competitor systems. This means that the load displayed is truer providing the user with a much greater number of "peaks" and "troughs" from trace, although this can be smoothed later within the software.
A high data capture rate is offered so that food technologists are able to collect all available information relating to the textural properties of their samples. This is of particular relevance with brittle foods where the micro fractures caused by the test probe entering or deforming the sample are of importance.
Simple three-point bend test on a cookie.
The brittle structure of the sample exhibits micro-fractures from the minute the test probe touches its surface. These fractures are clearly visible at the 2000pps data capture rate and allows the food technologist to obtain a full and detailed interpretation of the biscuits structure. Had the data been filtered to 500pps these initial fractures would have gone undetected and the food technologist would have potentially made an incorrect assessment of the biscuits fracture characteristics.
AMPLIFICATION OF LOADS:
Systems available to day can collect unfiltered force readings at 16,000 points per second using a 14 bit processor. Not following the principles of amplifying or digitally enhancing the raw data through averaging and calculation of new data points when measuring in the lower region of load cell capacity is a mistake. This is why it is recommend that the use of load cells which match the preferred range of measurement are used. It is often better to have more than one load cell to cover a variety of products.
It is important that you choose the correct load cell. Each load cell has a level of accuracy relating to its full scale measuring capability.
If you measure a very soft product such as cream cheese you will generate very low forces of around 2-3N. The +/- accuracy value means that if I use a 2500N load cell the potential instrumental error will be greater than the force one is wishing to measure.
SUMMARY
1. 10 load cell capacity options from 200gf to 255kgf capacity
2. Choose load cell capacity to match measured range ideally between 10 and 90% of the load cell's capacity
3. Filter data post test to smooth peaks post test in software
4. Collect 2000 points per second of load, position and speed
5. Accuracy is measured as % of Full Scale. If Accuracy is not stated resolution is irrelevant as measurement will not be true
6. Load cell is calibrated over full range of capacity
7. No amplification of signal to improve accuracy and resolution below 10% of load cell capacity

5 Sample Windows Agent Script
The following script is similar in function to the Linux script presented in the previous section, but is written in Windows PowerShell rather than the Linux bash shell and uses Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) commands to do the job of gathering performance data. The script can be set to run periodically as a Windows Task and assumes that there is an already running IIS server on the Windows Real Server that will respond to the GET request from the LoadMaster for the load value file created by the server agent.
This script is intended solely as an example, although it could be used in a demonstration or proof of concept of how to configure adaptive scheduling.
#
# Very simple adaptive server agent program, intended to be run via a
# Task Scheduler Task with system level privileges, to periodically
# populate the file LoadMaster expects to be available via HTTP on the
# Real Server.
#### DEFAULTS
# This is the default filename expected by LoadMaster. This setting must
# match what's on "Rules & Checking > Adaptive Parameters" in the LM WUI.
$LOAD_FILE_PATH="\load"
# This is the default root of a Windows IIS server. Change this to match
# the location where your HTTP server will require the load file (above)
# to be placed so that LoadMaster can access it using an HTTP GET request.
$DOCROOT="\inetpub\wwwroot"
# Define the weights to be used for CPU and Memory.
# Change these numbers to indicate the percentage weight that each
# statistic should carry when figuring the overall load value to
# return to LoadMaster. By default, these are set to 0.25 for CPU and 0.75
# for Memory, so the effect of the weighting is apparent. Weights must
# add up to 1.
$CPUweight=0.25
$MEMweight=0.75
#### GET MEMORY STATS
[int]$MEMtotal=(Get-WmiObject -Class win32_operatingsystem).TotalVisibleMemorySize
[int]$MEMfree=(Get-WmiObject -Class win32_operatingsystem).FreePhysicalMemory
[int]$MEMused=$MEMtotal - $MEMfree
$MEMloadpct=($MEMused / $MEMtotal).tostring("P")
[int]$MEMload=($MEMused / $MEMtotal * 100)
#### GET CPU LOAD
$CPUload=Get-WmiObject win32_processor | select -Expand LoadPercentage
$VALID_STATS=1
$RETURNED_LOAD=1
if ( $MEMload -lt 1 -or $MEMload -gt 100 -or $CPUload -lt 1 -or $CPUload -gt 100 )
{
 $VALID_STATS=0
 $RETURNED_LOAD=0
}
#### CALCULATE THE WEGHTED AVERAGE OF $CPUload AND $MEMload.
# Only do this if stats were valid - i.e., $VALID_STATS=1.
if ( $VALID_STATS -eq 1 )
{
 [int]$RSload=( $CPUweight * $CPUload ) + ( $MEMweight * $MEMload )
 $RETURNED_LOAD=$RSload
}
#### DETERMINE IF WE SHOULD RETURN 101 OR 102.
# Returning 101 or 102 in the case of a highly loaded system is somewhat
# a matter of policy. In this example, we'll return 101 (take the server
# out of rotation) when stats are valid AND the aggregated load value
# is above 90%, to allow more resources to

I have columns of data (marks on assessments) that filter in various ways. When I filter I simply hide the rows that do not match the filter key. Then I want do stats on the visible data, eg averages, Standard Deviations etc. However Excel seems to include the hidden rows when I this. Is there a way to get Excel to ignore hidden rows in its calculations?
I could just copy the data on the visible rows to another worksheet, do the stats there and then copy it back to the appropriate cells but if there is a built in method I would like to know.
Thanks

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.

Hi Gary,
Here is a way to make most Excel worksheet functions look at just the visible cells in a range. I make use of a user-defined function I call Vis(). As an example of its use, suppose you want to average the visible cells in the range B2:B200. Simply call the AVERAGE function like this:
=AVERAGE(Vis(B2:B200))
Here's the code for the Vis function.
Code:
Function Vis(Rin As Range) As Range
'Returns the subset of Rin that is visible
Dim Cell As Range
Application.Volatile
Set Vis = Nothing
For Each Cell In Rin
If Not (Cell.EntireRow.Hidden Or Cell.EntireColumn.Hidden) Then
If Vis Is Nothing Then
Set Vis = Cell
Else
Set Vis = Union(Vis, Cell)
End If
End If
Next Cell
End Function
This works with both hidden rows and hidden columns.
To install this function in your workbook, go to the Visual Basic Editor (keyboard Alt-TMV), insert a new macro module (Alt-IM), and paste this code into the Code pane.

Check out the SUBTOTAL function. It supports 11 stats functions and it operates on either all cells or on only visible cells depending on the first argument. For more see Excel help.

Leveraging Agriculture for Nutrition in South Asia: What Do We Know, and What Have We Learned?
van den Bold, Mara
Dangour, Alan D.
MetadataShow full item record
Despite significant improvements over recent decades, rates of undernutrition remain high in South Asia, with adverse impacts on morbidity and mortality. Overweight/obesity, among children and adults, is now an additional and major public health concern. While agriculture has the potential to improve nutrition through several pathways, this potential is currently not being realised in the region. The Leveraging Agriculture for Nutrition in South Asia (LANSA) research consortium (2012–2018) set out to improve understanding about how agriculture and related food policies and programs in South Asia (specifically in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan) can be better conceptualised and implemented in order to enhance impacts on nutrition outcomes, especially those of young children and adolescent girls. This paper provides a snapshot of the agriculture-nutrition nexus in the region, outlines the pathways through which agriculture can influence nutrition outcomes, elaborates on the objectives of the LANSA research consortium within this context, and highlights the core findings of the six papers that form the body of this Special Issue. The paper ends with five key lessons that have emerged from this research, during this decade.

How does the word saturnine derives! if you care why words derive!
Saturnine might have had originated in the fact that Saturn's Equinoxes are month long darkness (lack of sunshine for weeks altogether) as Saturn tilts away from sun (and toward sun) for 90 degree (Earth's 23.44 degree only)! Thats means parts of sun will get no sun-light for several weeks in the culmination of these Saturnine equinoxes.
So saturnine means a person who is gloomy or melancholic. ( — perhaps at-least for longer duration.)
I learned this because I was playing with words when grammar of my computer showed the word and I checked its meaning, I was although writing about equinox of Saturn, I came to learn this, cool is it?

The MRC Nano coated glass guarantees the necessary optical quality and also does not have any adverse effect on a correspondingly high-quality lens. The MRC Nano coating contains a multi-layer anti-reflective component with 7 layers per filter side to prevent annoying reflections. An outer layer with the usual dirt- and water-repellent properties is applied as the final layer. This not only provides all-around protection for the filter, but also makes it easy to clean and maintain the filter pane. The light attenuation itself is very uniform over the entire visible range and therefore produces optimal, color-neutral images.
- Reducing the amount of light entering the camera
- Suitable for both analog and digital cameras
- Selective sharpness by achieving larger apertures – ideal for portraiture
- Long exposures producing a cotton candy effect on moving water and deserted streets void of people and cars
- Wipe effects, continuous light trails
- MRC Nano Coating
- Made in Germany
*Please Note: ND filters must not be used for direct visual solar observation (risk of blinding). They let through UV- and IR-rays which harm the eyes. Special sun filters for direct observation of the sun are available from astronomy suppliers.

Using the Google Cloud Dataflow Runner
The Google Cloud Dataflow Runner uses the Cloud Dataflow managed service. When you run your pipeline with the Cloud Dataflow service, the runner uploads your executable code and dependencies to a Google Cloud Storage bucket and creates a Cloud Dataflow job, which executes your pipeline on managed resources in Google Cloud Platform.
The Cloud Dataflow Runner and service are suitable for large scale, continuous jobs, and provide:
The Beam Capability Matrix documents the supported capabilities of the Cloud Dataflow Runner.
Cloud Dataflow Runner prerequisites and setup
To use the Cloud Dataflow Runner, you must complete the following setup:
 1. Select or create a Google Cloud Platform Console project.
 2. Enable billing for your project.
 3. Enable the required Google Cloud APIs: Cloud Dataflow, Compute Engine, Stackdriver Logging, Cloud Storage, Cloud Storage JSON, and Cloud Resource Manager. You may need to enable additional APIs (such as BigQuery, Cloud Pub/Sub, or Cloud Datastore) if you use them in your pipeline code.
 4. Install the Google Cloud SDK.
 5. Create a Cloud Storage bucket.
 - In the Google Cloud Platform Console, go to the Cloud Storage browser.
 - Click Create bucket.
 - In the Create bucket dialog, specify the following attributes:
 - Name: A unique bucket name. Do not include sensitive information in the bucket name, as the bucket namespace is global and publicly visible.
 - Storage class: Multi-Regional
 - Location: Choose your desired location
 - Click Create.
For more information, see the Before you begin section of the Cloud Dataflow quickstarts.
Specify your dependency
When using Java, you must specify your dependency on the Cloud Dataflow Runner in your pom.xml.
<dependency>
 <groupId>org.apache.beam</groupId>
 <artifactId>beam-runners-google-cloud-dataflow-java</artifactId>
 <version>2.1.0</version>
 <scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
This section is not applicable to the Beam SDK for Python.
Authentication
Before running your pipeline, you must authenticate with the Google Cloud Platform. Run the following command to get Application Default Credentials.
gcloud auth application-default login
Pipeline options for the Cloud Dataflow Runner
When executing your pipeline with the Cloud Dataflow Runner (Java), consider these common pipeline options. When executing your pipeline with the Cloud Dataflow Runner (Python), consider these common pipeline options.
Field Description Default Value
runner The pipeline runner to use. This option allows you to determine the pipeline runner at runtime. Set to dataflow or DataflowRunner to run on the Cloud Dataflow Service.
project The project ID for your Google Cloud Project. If not set, defaults to the default project in the current environment. The default project is set via gcloud.
streaming Whether streaming mode is enabled or disabled; true if enabled. Set to true if running pipelines with unbounded PCollections. false
tempLocation temp_location Optional. Required. Path for temporary files. Must be a valid Google Cloud Storage URL that begins with gs://. If set, tempLocation is used as the default value for gcpTempLocation. No default value.
gcpTempLocation Cloud Storage bucket path for temporary files. Must be a valid Cloud Storage URL that begins with gs://. If not set, defaults to the value of tempLocation, provided that tempLocation is a valid Cloud Storage URL. If tempLocation is not a valid Cloud Storage URL, you must set gcpTempLocation.
stagingLocation staging_location Optional. Cloud Storage bucket path for staging your binary and any temporary files. Must be a valid Cloud Storage URL that begins with gs://. If not set, defaults to a staging directory within gcpTempLocation. If not set, defaults to a staging directory within temp_location.
save_main_session Save the main session state so that pickled functions and classes defined in __main__ (e.g. interactive session) can be unpickled. Some workflows do not need the session state if, for instance, all of their functions/classes are defined in proper modules (not __main__) and the modules are importable in the worker. false
sdk_location Override the default location from where the Beam SDK is downloaded. This value can be an URL, a Cloud Storage path, or a local path to an SDK tarball. Workflow submissions will download or copy the SDK tarball from this location. If set to the string default, a standard SDK location is used. If empty, no SDK is copied. default
See the reference documentation for the DataflowPipelineOptions PipelineOptions interface (and any subinterfaces) for additional pipeline configuration options.
Additional information and caveats
Monitoring your job
While your pipeline executes, you can monitor the job's progress, view details on execution, and receive updates on the pipeline's results by using the Dataflow Monitoring Interface or the Dataflow Command-line Interface.
Blocking Execution
To block until your job completes, call waitToFinishwait_until_finish on the PipelineResult returned from pipeline.run(). The Cloud Dataflow Runner prints job status updates and console messages while it waits. While the result is connected to the active job, note that pressing Ctrl+C from the command line does not cancel your job. To cancel the job, you can use the Dataflow Monitoring Interface or the Dataflow Command-line Interface.
Streaming Execution
If your pipeline uses an unbounded data source or sink, you must set the streaming option to true. The Beam SDK for Python does not currently support streaming pipelines.

The first and last logical blocks on a track can not be determined because of the physical to logical mapping. However, the first and last logical blocks of a cylinder can be determined. The good physical blocks on a cylinder are mapped, in order, to the logical blocks. Therefore the rotational latency between two adjacent logical blocks is minimal, even if they are not adjacent physical blocks.
One would readily see that the average rotational latency is equal to half the revolution period of the disk. The average seek time is also about the same as average rotational latency. Therefore to optimize the data throughput of the disks, the read commands to the disk must request data of the size of one or several tracks.

It is often even more translucent than agate.

engraved by the ancients, and these engraved stones are the only
specimens in existence of the ealcedonyx, as, at present, none is
found in any part of the world that we are aware of.
the ancient collection of Genevosio, Caire saw an engraved ealcedonyx,
representing a warrior seated opposite a dead body. In the Viennese
cabinet of engraved gems there is another, which represents a young
man leaning on a column.
this name, of which every one understands the general signification, we

in Brazil in the year 1812, which was found mixed with deposits of
diamonds in alluvial lands and in the mud of rivers.

- Census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations crossing provincial boundaries
There is one census metropolitan area (Ottawa - Gatineau) and three census agglomerations (Campbellton, Hawkesbury and Lloydminster) that cross provincial boundaries. The data for their respective provincial parts are included with the appropriate census metropolitan area or census agglomeration, with data for the census metropolitan area or census agglomeration within the province of the provincial part that contributes the majority of the population to the area. For example, Ottawa - Gatineau can be found in Ontario, Campbellton in New Brunswick, Hawkesbury in Ontario and Lloydminster in Alberta.
- TOTAL - ABORIGINAL AND NON-ABORIGINAL IDENTITY POPULATION
This is a grouping of the total population into non-Aboriginal or Aboriginal population, with Aboriginal persons further divided into Aboriginal groups, based on their responses to three questions on the 2006 Census form.
- TOTAL ABORIGINAL IDENTITY POPULATION
Included in the Aboriginal identity population are those persons who reported identifying with at least one Aboriginal group, that is, North American Indian, Métis or Inuit, and/or those who reported being a Treaty Indian or a Registered Indian, as defined by the Indian Act of Canada, and/or those who reported they were members of an Indian band or First Nation.
- NORTH AMERICAN INDIAN SINGLE RESPONSE
Users should be aware that the counts for this item are more affected than most by the incomplete enumeration of certain Indian reserves and Indian settlements. The extent of the impact will depend on the geographic area under study. In 2006, a total of 22 Indian reserves and Indian settlements were incompletely enumerated by the census. The populations of these 22 communities are not included in the census counts.
- ABORIGINAL RESPONSES NOT INCLUDED ELSEWHERE
Includes those who identified themselves as Registered Indians and/or band members without identifying themselves as North American Indian, Métis or Inuit in the Aboriginal identity question.
Data quality note(s)
- Data quality index showing, for the short census questionnaire (100% data), a global non response rate higher than or equal to 5% but lower than 10%.
- Data quality index showing, for the long census questionnaire (20% sample data), a global non response rate higher than or equal to 5% but lower than 10%.
- 2001 adjusted count; most of these are the result of boundary changes.


text: The project aimed to setup an educational Video-on-Demand system that runs on top of a Community Wireless Mesh Network (CWMN) in a rural tribal village in Chiang-Rai province located in the northern part of Thailand. The system, 'Chiang-Rai MeshTV', brings easy-to-use Video-on-Demand capabilities to a remote rural community, which is lagged far behind modern urban cities. Rural ICT access for tribal ethnic groups required a specialized approach. Some of the tribal ethnic groups had very low ICT and Internet literacy. They may also not have good commands in English or even in a nation's official language, as they fluently communicate in their local language. Providing easy-to-use educational video contents along with intuitive user devices, such as tablet computers, to view Educational Videoon-Demand (E-VoD) contents can serve as an initial but highly significant path to connect these tribal people to the global digital economy while preserving their cultural heritage via video and other multimedia recordings.
