Companies working together to standardize CDN configuration metadata for the streaming industry
Bringing high-quality video content to billions of screens worldwide is a complex series of processes that requires careful cooperation between content publishers, content delivery networks (CDNs), and internet service providers (ISPs). To simplify and increase the efficiency of streaming video delivery, Disney Streaming and Lumen Technologies are leading an effort to produce standardized CDN configuration metadata and application programming interfaces (APIs) for the streaming video industry. The multi-year effort is made possible by both companies' leadership and participation in the Streaming Video Alliance (SVA), a consortium of 100+ businesses in the video industry that work together to improve the streaming experience for consumers.
Standardized metadata will allow content providers to use a common metadata model and a single API to publish CDN configurations to vendors.
Without this standardization, organizations must separately model and publish metadata within each CDN vendor's proprietary API or management portal.
For large organizations with multiple brands, proprietary APIs are inefficient, error-prone, and costly – issues that negatively affect the customer experience.
With contributions and leadership from Disney Streaming and Lumen, the SVA recently published the first version of the Configuration Interface Specifications – the technical specifications document that will serve as the streaming industry's guide for standardization. Version two is underway, and work is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
"We believe all streaming providers will benefit from standardization across commercial CDN providers and the Open Cache industry, which is why we've led the charge, working alongside companies like Lumen, on evangelizing this important work," said Michael Fay, vice president, software engineering, Disney Streaming. "Hundreds of millions of subscribers already engage with Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+ and Star+, and as demand increases for our direct-to-consumer platforms, we believe standardization will be a key driver in maintaining our reputation in delivering a high-quality viewing experience for subscribers at scale."
"Lumen operates one of the largest CDNs in the world via the Lumen Edge Platform, which provides unmatched performance and speed for latency-sensitive, data-intensive applications and content," said Pierre-louis Theron, Lumen vice president of product management for content delivery services. "Developing standards that reduce complexity for our media customers is key to our shared success, now and in the future. We will continue to contribute significant work and insight to the standardization effort, relying on the deep expertise we have gained from years of experience building and operating our own CDN."
"Commercial CDNs and open caching systems have many common requirements when it comes to defining and publishing configuration metadata," said Glenn Goldstein, Lumen CDN product strategist and lead editor of the SVA's Configuration Interface Specifications. "We knew we could help the industry leverage those commonalities while still helping every company achieve its own interests. We started by agreeing upon a set of drivers that benefited all industry participants. These included standardizing feature definitions, providing for DevOps-friendly automation, and allowing technology vendors to differentiate."
Disney Streaming is part of Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution (DMED), which delivers the Company's unparalleled storytelling to audiences worldwide across theatrical, streaming, and linear platforms. DMED is responsible for the monetization of content from the Company's content engines — Studios, General Entertainment and Sports. This includes P&L management and operations of the Company's portfolio of streaming services, including Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+, and Star+; its linear television channels the ABC-owned stations; theatrical film distribution; content licensing and distribution; and global advertising sales.

Bridging units are designed to bridge the gap between GCSE and Year 12 and give students a flavour of the type of work they will be covering in their post-16 courses. One of the most notable challenges that students face when transitioning into the Sixth Form is that of becoming an independent learner, and bridging units are designed to support this. When students commence their studies with us in September, we expect them to have completed the bridging units below in each of the subjects they have chosen to study.


Have you ever thought of an anole as an effective organic pesticide? As the days turned colder and the days shortened I began to notice a few critters, mainly spiders, were making my hoya sun-room their comfortable space for the winter. I am not afraid of spiders for the most part, at least they do not bother me like snakes and frogs do, but the webs they were weaving were getting out of hand. I even had one blocking the screen of my television that hangs up high in the space? My first attempt to control these webs was the small Shop-Vac I purchased for just this issue. After about an hour of sucking up the webs I felt a sense of accomplishment that I had also vacuumed up a few six legged creatures. Yes, I realize that they are good and eat other insects but the other insects do not spin webs across my plants and light and television and chairs etc. The lights went out for the evening just after 9pm as they do each night. What I thought would be a quiet and uneventful night was not. Does anyone know how far a spider can travel in one night? Well I would estimate they run marathons from sundown to sun up. These are not ordinary webs either, they resemble string and possibly rope when would together.
Remembering and but not missing the varmints that lived in my Florida Greenhouse/Garage I decided to adopt an anole or two the next day when I went to the local pet store, Just For Pets, to retrieve my doggie who just had a bath. The majority of the anole stock had long striped snake-like tails which I wanted no part of. I have made great strides in trying to forget the trauma caused by those slithering creatures and would not enjoy being spooked by adding this variety of anole to my room. The first two, that were able to be caught, were the lucky one to come home to my oasis.
As I released them into the 'hoya jungle', I hoped that they would live and I would be able to spot them once in awhile in that space and NOT in my home. Since the sun-room is an extension of my home that was quite possible. This little dude is doing one heck of a job keeping the spider & webs at a minimum in the sun-room. I see him just about every day when I mist the hoyas. He has a smaller brown friend whom I rarely see except when he is scurrying across the floor from the hose bib. I am guessing he's finding water sometimes in that area!
The result was not immediate but it's been over a month since I brought them home and rarely do I find a spider web and if I do, it is NOT the ropes that I once found connecting what seemed like every plant and surface of the room.

Hoya lasiantha is in full bloom! It came from Thailand during the summer and traveled, rooted and bloomed easily. A real keeper if you like to water your plants…it does not mind plenty of water. The leaves have some funky veining/coloring right now…hoping they return to green. Peduncles have formed at each node so I am guessing I will enjoy these blooms far into the winter months!

Impeccable curation from the Golden Pudel resident.
Phuong-Dan is best known for his work as resident of Hamburg's Golden Pudel, one of Europe's finest club spaces. These associations are in themselves illustrative enough of Phuong-Dan's reputation; and it's no stretch to say that you'd likely find his name crop up with regularity were you to ask some educated fans of electronic music to identify today's most exciting and versatile DJs, especially those deserving of more time in the spotlight. To put it simply, he is a fearless selector with a swelling reputation now almost as grand as the club he calls home.
Born of Vietnamese descent, Phuong-Dan grew up in a small town close to Bonn, Germany, before moving to Hamburg after finishing high school, where he continued his studies. A burgeoning interest in breakdance and hip-hop saw him drawn to turntables: together with a close friend who had similar interests, he began throwing parties around Bonn, intent on just sharing the music he was discovering at flea markets and various small stores around the city. "I did not consider myself as a DJ back then," he tells XLR8R. As popularity for his events grew, Phuong-Dan took them to Golden Pudel in 2004, two years after his own relocation.
It was around this time that an interest in Chicago house and Detroit techno began to blossom. His earlier selections in Bonn had broadly covered funk, soul, and jazz, and he'd ventured further into disco in Hamburg; and with its punk origins and encouragement for musical experimentation, Pudel provided a great space for discovering krautrock, electronic avant-garde, wave, industrial, synth-pop, acid, new beat, afro, ambient, fusion, balearic, and more. As a versatility grew, so did an understanding for DJing.
Phuong-Dan has been a regular fixture at Pudel ever since. He ended his first major club night but set up a new one in 2006, named Gatto Musculoso, focusing on diversification; on creating energy on the dancefloor without ever being formulaic. It's a recipe that he's since taken to Düsseldorf's Salon des Amatuers, where he plays regularly, and also to clubs across Europe, as word spreads.
Really enjoying traveling, the chance to play out music, meeting new inspiring people but also spending a lot of time with my close ones, reading and being involved in curatorial projects in Paris and Amsterdam next year.
It was recorded just a couple days ago on a very cold and grey day in my apartment in Hamburg.
Basically there were three recent releases of friends I got inspired by and wanted to include: Black Merlin's "Cloud," Iueke's "Champion" (Version) and Zaliva-D's "Gone With The Pest" on Amsterdam label Knekelhuis. I went through my shelves on this base and built everything around.
I will have a break in January to relax at home and recharge. And yes, being really curious about 2019!

Activity ramps up for finding Clark County's next superintendent, a process that could prove challenging
Some equate it to finding a magician. Others call it Nevada's most important leadership decision short of the governor's race this year.
It's also the reason several dozen emails — each containing some sort of advice or recommendation — have landed in Linda Cavazos' inbox the last few months from various community members and organizations. She sits on the Clark County School Board of Trustees, the seven-member group charged with selecting the district's next superintendent. The arguably monumental task is upon the board again following Superintendent Pat Skorkowsky's announcement last year that he would retire in June.
And if Cavazos' inbox and cell phone are any indication, the community has a lot to say about what kind of leader the nation's fifth-largest school district needs moving forward.
"I don't even count the texts anymore," she said.
The trustees' work kicks into high gear this week as Skorkowsky's departure inches ever closer. The board meets with Ray and Associates, the Iowa-based firm hired to conduct a national search, on Wednesday for the first substantive, public discussion about the process. On the menu: Establishing a timeline for the search, determining how to solicit public input and discussing compensation and benefits for the new district leader.
It's a critical step in the journey to find the next man or woman who will shepherd a school district that has more than 320,000 students but also a bevy of academic and financial challenges.
The Clark County School District just wrapped up budget cuts to overcome a roughly $60 million deficit — an unwelcome distraction on top of an already-busy year. The district is moving to a new operating model designed to empower decision-making at the school level. The state-mandated reorganization met resistance from school officials and trustees last year, triggering a rocky rollout that heightened tensions among state and local education leaders. Later, the budget turmoil created a rift between Skorkowsky and a couple of trustees, which played out in public settings as they sorted out the finances.
Suffice to say, school officials and community education partners agree on at least one matter: The next superintendent must be someone who can successfully navigate a road that's more bumpy than smooth toward a system that delivers a quality education to all students, regardless of ZIP code.
Cavazos, the newest board member, said she's up for the challenge of finding that perfect person — whether it be an internal or external candidate.
"I do feel optimistic," she said. "I want to get someone who is excited about coming here and wants to be here."
Speculation and interest
If a tentative timeline circulated at an education meeting last month pans out, the top candidates could be presented to the board in March. But that hasn't stopped speculation about who may wind up on that list.
An insider or an outsider? A teacher-turned-administrator or a business-oriented person?
Board President Deanna Wright said she has heard chatter about whom people want to see succeed Skorkowsky but insists that's all it is — chatter. Among the names she said she has overheard drifting through the rumor mill:
Eva White, the district's interim chief financial officer who retired last summer.
Pedro Martinez, superintendent of the San Antonio Independent School District who formerly served as the Washoe County School District superintendent and Clark County's deputy superintendent.
Richard Carranza, superintendent of the Houston Independent School District who was a regional superintendent in Clark County before going on to assume the top leadership role in the San Francisco Unified School District.
Jeffrey Geihs, school associate superintendent for Clark County's turnaround zone, which includes struggling schools enrolled in a program designed to foster rapid academic improvement.
Wright said she's not pushing any particular person. She wants the process to occur naturally and transparently, with the best candidates rising to the top for final consideration.
"It's important we go through this process with a really open mind," she said.
White, Martinez and Carranza did not respond to inquiries from The Nevada Independent asking whether they're interested in the position.
Geihs, in a phone interview, said he's not making any decisions until after he sees the candidate criteria decided upon by the board. In the meantime, other school districts have approached him about opportunities, he said.
"I'm considering those options as well," Geihs said. "We'll see where Clark County falls in that and if it is even a viable option. I just don't know whether it is yet."
He's not the only internal candidate mulling a bid for the district's top job. Mike Barton, Clark County's chief academic officer, echoed his colleague's stance: He is waiting to see what qualities and experience the board wants in the next superintendent before throwing his name in the ring. But Barton acknowledged interest in the possibility.
"The longer you stay in a system and work with people to do this work, you feel like you're responsible for improvement," he said in a phone interview.
What kind of leader is best?
Whoever lands the gig comes at a critical juncture in the school district's history.
The massive decentralization effort is well underway but also far from complete. The district hasn't achieved a key component of that mandate, which is transferring 80 percent of unrestricted funds to the school level as required by law. And then there's the cultural piece — creating an environment where parents, teachers and principals feel empowered to make budget-related decisions that they think will best serve students.
On top of that, the district needs to rebuild its meager financial reserves and continue improving student learning. Clark County is the largest school — by a landslide — in Nevada, which continually falls toward the bottom of state rankings in terms of education funding and outcomes. Graduation rates, however, are on the rise both statewide and in Clark County.
"I think it's going to take someone of heroic proportions to come in here and turn this school district around," said Stephen Augspurger, executive director of the administrators' union. "That's not going to happen overnight."
To help find that person, the district is shelling out roughly $43,000 for the search firm. That doesn't necessarily mean the chosen candidate will come from elsewhere; after all, Skorkowsky spent his career in the district, starting as a teacher before ascending the ranks to the top leadership role.
Education leaders and organizations surveyed by The Nevada Independent generally didn't indicate a preference about whether an outsider with a fresh perspective or an insider with institutional knowledge would be the best fit for the job.
Instead, many described the ideal new superintendent as someone who can blend educational expertise with financial skills and has the ability to connect and build relationships with staff, lawmakers, community business leaders and parents who come from diverse ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. (Roughly 46 percent of the district's students are Hispanic and another 14 percent are black.)
Educate Nevada Now, an advocacy organization for classroom equity, wants to see someone determined to boost academic achievement among students who are learning English or living in poverty, said Sylvia Lazos, the organization's policy director.
"I think the system really has to pivot to paying better attention to the equity issues we face because that's how you lift Clark County," she said. "We can't continue to give a lot of attention and a lot of money to schools that are already doing well."
Others are calling for a candidate who has deep financial prowess. Their argument: The school district is one of the state's largest employers and has a $2.4 billion budget.
"We need a leader that has an understanding of how to manage a large organization like this and, if he or she doesn't have that skill, they know the types of people to hire so that the district can be better managed," Glenn Christenson, who chaired a reorganization-related council, told a legislative committee last month.
Christenson, a former Station Casinos executive, has long advocated for more synergy between the business community and school system and warned that not including the former in the selection process would be a mistake.
It's unclear to what extent the business community will be involved in the process. The board, however, is planning public input meetings.

Still, the board president isn't convinced the next superintendent must be someone who hails from the business world.
"You don't need a superintendent that's necessarily been an accountant or a CFO either," Wright said. "What you need is a superintendent that has people who are very, very knowledgeable and strong in their fields and then the humility, as superintendent, to listen to those people."
The search is capturing the attention of many organizations, including one that's more focused on bringing charter schools — public schools that operate under a performance contract issued by a public entity — into Southern Nevada's education ecosystem. Jana Wilcox Lavin, the executive director of Opportunity 180, said she's eager to hear what vision parents, community members and other nonprofits have for the school district. That conversation, she said, should guide the selection process.
"To me, it's more about leadership than it is about a unicorn with a certain set of skills," she said.
The circumstances — an in-progress reorganization paired with financial and academic challenges — raise the question: Does the right candidate even exist?
The president of Nevada Succeeds, which focuses heavily on teacher quality as the pathway toward improving education, thinks so. But Brent Husson finds it difficult to fathom an outsider being able to jump into the complex situation and emerge victorious.
"I don't see how an external candidate would be able to get up to speed in a timely manner," he said, referring to the reorganization. "It's not like they can avoid it. It's the law."
The money and politics factors
Attracting the right candidate may come down to money.
The median base salary for superintendents in large school districts — defined as those with more than 25,000 students — was $229,000 for men and $225,000 for women in the 2016-2017 academic year, according to the School Superintendents Association. Salaries on the top end of that spectrum were in the high-$300,000 range.
Skorkowsky was hired with a $260,000 annual salary, not counting benefits, in 2013. Raises given to administrators during Skorkowsky's tenure have pushed his salary closer to $280,000.
Still, Trustee Kevin Child said districts with enrollment numbers similar to Clark County tend to pay their superintendents $330,000 or more each year.
"I think we're not going to get that many great candidates because of what we pay," he said. "It's pretty hard."
The board anticipates tackling the compensation issue during the Wednesday meeting. The conversation could generate considerable debate given the recent budget cuts and layoffs.
Trustee Chris Garvey said it's difficult to rationalize why a superintendent needs to make more than Skorkowsky's existing salary. She called dollar figures above that threshold "criminal."
More important than pay, Garvey said, is finding a leader who will push back when lawmakers introduce bills or initiatives that put a squeeze on the district's already-tight finances. She fears any arbitration victories for the unions negotiating contracts right now could trigger even more budget cuts given the fiscal situation.
"I want someone who is going to say, 'That doesn't make sense,'" Garvey said.
Board members say they're committed to seeing the reorganization through, but trustees' initial resistance has sown fear in some local education officials. John Vellardita, who heads the powerful teachers' union, said the district needs a "change agent" who's willing to embrace the reorganization — not someone bent on undoing or ignoring it.
"What we don't want is a retread of superintendents from different school districts that are part of a model that we just left — top-down, highly bureaucratic, not acclimated to empowering stakeholders," he said.
Vellardita said qualified and interested candidates should view the opportunity as a "risk moment" that could change the face of public education in Nevada.
Whether the selection process unfolds in a fair and transparent manner, as trustees and other community members have called for, remains to be seen. Several education leaders voiced concerns about inevitable behind-the-scenes jockeying as stakeholders maneuver to see their desired candidate land the all-important job.
"We shouldn't kid ourselves," Vellardita said. "There's a policy discussion that should take place to determine the next leader, but we also know there will be a political discussion and decision made."
Members of a parent group are keeping their fingers crossed for a transparent process and, ultimately, a new leader who arrives with no strings attached, said Anna Slighting, a Hope for Nevada board member.
"This needs to be someone who is coming to us clean, who will do the right thing because it's the right thing to do and not because they're beholden to any organization," she said.
Clark County won't be the only large school district undergoing a leadership transition in the near future. The chancellor of New York City's schools announced her retirement last month, and Chicago Public School's chief recently resigned amid an ethics probe.

For a long time, cement, as a very important cementing material, is widely used in civil construction, water conservancy, and national defense and so on. Especially in recent years, with the rapid development of infrastructure construction, the demand of cement is increasing. In this case, more and more investors start to pay attention to cement making industry. Here we mainly introduce grinding mills used in cement making.
The main materials to make cement are limestone and clay. After crushing, mixing, grinding and calcining, we get clinker. And then adding some gypsum in the clinker, and grind it into cement. As we can see, the main raw materials we need to grind are limestone, clay and gypsum. For grinding limestone, clay and gypsum, we can provide ball mill, ultrafine mill, vertical mill, trapezium mill and Raymond mill.
Ball mill is very commonly used grinding equipment in cement making. The final products can be adjusted between 0.074mm and 0.4mm. The size can be adjusted by adjusting the diameter of the balls. Ultrafine mill is for super fine powder making. The fineness of this mill can reach 2500mesh. Vertical mill, trapezium mill and Raymond mill are all designed and developed on the basis of years' research. They are efficient and with reasonable price. Our sales manager will recommend suitable type and model according to the specific requirements of the customers.
Besides the above grinding mills, we can also provide packaging machine for the customers. This machine is used to packaging the produced cement into bags. There are two kinds of package weights, one is 5-25 kg, and the other is 10-50kg. It is high precision and high speed. Also it can weighting, clip bag, and seal automatically, which greatly save the manual power for the customers.
If you are interested in these machines, please contact us. We will do our best to help.

Eugies (en borain Widjî) est une section de la commune belge de Frameries, située en Région wallonne dans la province de Hainaut.

C'était une commune à part entière avant la fusion des communes de 1977.

Le blason d'Eugies

Composition :

Le blason d'Eugies est constitué d'un lion armé et couronné, d'un écu (bouclier) surmonté d'un heaume (casque), d'un cimier doré (le cimier est un ornement qui surmonte un casque), lui-même surmonté de 2 mains gantées. Le heaume est entouré de lambrequins (longs rubans festonnés partant du heaume et entourant l'écu) rouges et jaunes.

Signification :

Le jaune "or" signifie la richesse, la sagesse. Le lion correspond à la royauté. Le rouge rappelle le courage. La couleur bleue évoque la force et la franchise.

Communes fusionnées de l'entité de Frameries
À la suite de la fusion des communes en 1977, la commune d'Eugies est rattachée à l'entité de Frameries (composée des anciennes communes de Frameries, Noirchain, La Bouverie, Sars-La-Bruyère et Eugies). Eugies est un village du Borinage.

Situation
Eugies est un village situé dans la province de Hainaut en Belgique.

Eugies est bordé au nord par les villages de Pâturages, de La Bouverie et de Frameries. À l'est par Genly. À l'ouest par Dour et Blaugies, et au sud par Sars-La-Bruyère.

Eugies a une superficie de   .

Étymologie

Ce village doit son nom à un domaine qui s'y trouvait autrefois et dont le propriétaire s'appelait ou Wis, ou Wion ou Iwo. Dès 1167, on retrouve, dans des textes authentiques, certaines variantes du mot lwegies, Ugies ou Vigies. Les habitants ont d'ailleurs conservé ce terme en le déformant un peu dans leur patois : Widgies.

Le surnom du village est "widgies poirette". Pourquoi? À une certaine époque les champs et pairies du village étaient recouverts de haies d'aubépine et le fruit de cet arbuste donne des petites poires (poirettes).

Hypothèse gauloise plus réaliste. Vient du gaul. iwy, if, arbre sacré parmi d'autres pour nos ancêtres Gaulois. Réputé sans doute pour ses bois d'if.

Évolution démographique
La population n'a cessé d'évoluer au cours de l'Histoire. Les premières traces de recensement datent de 1406. Il y avait alors 46 foyers. Un foyer correspondait à une famille de 7-10 personnes. Aujourd'hui, un foyer correspond en moyenne à 2,3 personnes.

1406 : 46 foyers

1444 : 40 foyers

1469 : 52 foyers

1531 : 47 foyers

1540 : 65 foyers

1787 : 950 habitants

1966 : 2644

1970 : 2598

En 2013, il n'existe plus de chiffres spécifiques pour Eugies, mais des chiffres pour l'ensemble de la commune. La population de l'entité de Frameries est de  au .

Histoire
L'autel d'Eugies appartenait à l'abbaye de Saint-Ghislain. La seigneurie dépendait en partie de la manse épiscopale de Cambrai et en partie successivement des familles d'Eugies, Compère de Presles, etc.

Vers 1700, François de Salignac de La Mothe-Fénelon, dit Fénelon, l'illustre archevêque de Cambrai, habita quelque temps ce village. Sa demeure, longtemps appelée « la Belle Maison », se trouvait aux limites de Pâturages et d'Eugies. C'est là, assure-t-on, qu'il écrivit une partie de son livre : Les Aventures de Télémaque. Mais on affirme tant de choses...

Eugies est un village à la fois résidentiel et agricole où, naguère, en se rendant dans les Haut-Pays, les voyageurs s'arrêtent encore quelque peu pour y faire la sieste.

L'influence des champs et du bois dans ce village n'était pas étrangère à cet état d'esprit. En effet, la forêt domaniale de Colfontaine longe Eugies et s'étend sur  vers Sars-la-Bruyère, Blaugies, Pâturages, Dour…

Le sol y est en majeure partie argileux. Sous la couche de terre arable, l'argile, bien dépourvue de carbonate de chaux, constitue une excellente terre de briques. Il y a eu d'ailleurs, à Eugies, plusieurs briqueteries.

À la rue des Déportés et la rue Baudouin, se retrouvent des affleurements de silex, de grès et de schiste qui donnent également à Eugies une géologie particulière.

Patrimoine

Église Saint-Rémy
La construction de l'église (actuelle) débuta vers la mi-. Elle fut érigée en lieu et place d'une autre église devenue trop exigüe. L'ancien édifice faisait  de longueur,  de largeur. Elle avait une superficie de  ( carrés)

L'église actuelle a une superficie de  (). Le bâtiment est de style composite. Il y a de la pierre et de la brique. Il y a également sur cette église des éléments de style classique.

La chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Coron (1687)
Elle fut édifiée à l'époque de Charles (Don Carlos) De Graves, baron et seigneur d'Eugies (qui séjourna à la cour d'Espagne). Elle est située le long d'une chaussée qui, à l'époque, se nommait 'rue du coron', d'où le nom de la chapelle.

Le bâtiment hexagonal est fait d'un soubassement en petits moellons et briques, larges aux angles et bordé d'un biseau mince. Les fenêtres sont grillagées à montants en briques et pierres sous arc de briques surbaissées. La porte est encadrée de harpes (pierre d'attente sortant d'un mur) en pierre et rehaussée d'une clé et d'une contre clé.

À l'intérieur, un autel est décoré par une statue de la vierge en bois, réalisée en 1845.

Chaque année était organisé un pèlerinage pour implorer la grâce et le secours de la vierge du Coron. Le pèlerinage fut supprimé au début des années 1970.

La maison communale
La décision de bâtir une maison communale fut prise lors du conseil communal du . La première pierre fut posée le  et la construction fut achevée le . En 2014, elle ne sert plus pour le conseil communal. Le conseil communal est organisé à Frameries depuis la fusion des communes de 1977. Elle est actuellement une salle d'exposition et le siège de la maison de la mémoire.

Monument aux morts
La construction d'un monument aux morts et d'une pelouse d'honneur fut décidée pour honorer et se souvenir de tous les sacrifices des héros du village morts pour la patrie. Initialement conçu pour les soldats de la Première Guerre mondiale, on y a ajouta, après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le nom des soldats tombés lors de cette guerre. Il fut inauguré le , date on ne peut plus symbolique (jour de la fête nationale belge).

Il y a au cimetière du village une parcelle, agrandie deux fois, appelée "pelouse d'Honneur" où reposent les anciens combattants et résistant(e)s des deux guerres. À proximité, s'y trouve également un caveau contenant les corps de soldats français. Une extension de la dite pelouse a été créée lors de l'agrandissement du cimetière. En plus de cela, des sépultures, portant le signe distinctif (rond avec les trois couleurs nationales) sont essaimées parmi les autres tombes.

Un carré réservé aux tombes de soldats britanniques morts lors de la Première Guerre mondiale. Les tombes de soldats belges se mêlent aux tombes des citoyens lambdas, mais sont identifiables via un drapeau belge présent sur leur tombe.

Folklore
Depuis le Moyen Âge jusqu'au début du , les fêtes célèbres des communes voisines sont passées aussi par Eugies.

Il y avait l'Allion, qui est la grande fête du soleil. Elle se déroulait lors de l'équinoxe du printemps pour célébrer le retour de la fertilité du sol. Elle se célébrait en allumant de grands feux et l'on faisait des rondes autour des bûchers. La fête se terminait dans les cabarets.

La guinguette, elle consistait pour les habitants à se joindre à des promeneurs se rendant au bois de Colfontaine pour fêter « l'ervenue du temps ». Elle fut remplacée par une ducasse se déroulant à Pâturages.

Il existait aussi le petit et le grand escouvion qui était une fête où on allumait de grands feux dans les prairies. Ces fêtes ont été supprimées pour diminuer les risques d'incendies et cela dès 1823.

Il existait aussi, , les feux de la Saint-Jean en mémoire de l'apôtre Jean car il était celui dont le Christ avait dit : « Jean, tu es la lumière ardente ».

Il y avait deux ducasses, la grande et la petite ducasse. La grande ducasse communale date du Moyen Âge. Elle se déroulait le premier octobre qui est la fête de saint Remy. La petite ducasse, elle se déroulait lors du dimanche le plus proche du . Ces divertissements étaient encouragés par les pouvoirs communaux ; ceux-ci donnaient une contribution de cent francs, lors de la ducasse du , pour que la fête soit la plus brillante possible, notamment par un tir à l'arc avec une prime élevée. Les divertissements s'étalaient sur plusieurs jours et le tir à l'arc amenait beaucoup de monde.

Les différentes ducasses qui se produisaient à Eugies sont :
 La ducasse St Remy
 La ducasse de l'Aissette.
 La ducasse de là-Haut.
 La ducasse du Culot.
 La ducasse de Mégrin.

Toutes ces fêtes ont disparu. La seule qui persiste dans le folklore d'Eugies est la brocante du , avec sa course à pied se déroulant le matin et son feu d'artifice en clôture de l'événement. Cela a débuté dans les années 1980 et dure depuis plus de 30 ans.

Personnages célèbres
 François de Salignac de La Mothe-Fénelon, (dit Fénelon) (1651-1715), écrivain et homme d'Église français.
 Bénédicte Liénard, cinéaste née en 1965

Q: How to use Solr's parallel SQL and Streaming expressions with collections residing on multi cloud environments We are exploring streaming expressions, parallel SQL in Solr to use in our current project. In our use case, we need to join two collections one residing on private datacenter and other on public cloud. I was reading through Solr's reference guide and blog post from lucidworks . Examples were demonstrated with collections residing on same Solr's engine.
Is is possible to use Parallel SQL or Streaming expressions with collections residing on different environments?
We are using spark with solr(7.x) as one of the datasource, and lucidworks-spark-solr 3.4.5 connector

A rational difference equation is a nonlinear difference equation of the form

where the initial conditions  are such that the denominator  never vanishes for any .

First-order rational difference equation
A first-order rational difference equation is a nonlinear difference equation of the form

When  and the initial condition  are real numbers, this difference equation is called a Riccati difference equation.

Such an equation can be solved by writing  as a nonlinear transformation of another variable  which itself evolves linearly.  Then standard methods can be used to solve the linear difference equation in .

Equations of this form arise from the infinite resistor ladder problem.

Solving a first-order equation

First approach

One approach to developing the transformed variable , when , is to write

where   and  and where .

Further writing   can be shown to yield

Second approach

This approach  gives a first-order difference equation for  instead of a second-order one, for the case in which  is non-negative.  Write    implying , where  is given by  and where .  Then it can be shown that  evolves according to

Third approach

The equation

can also be solved by treating it as a special case of the more general matrix equation

where all of A, B, C, E, and X are n × n matrices (in this case n = 1); the  solution of this is

where

Application

It was shown in  that a dynamic matrix Riccati equation of the form

which can arise in some discrete-time optimal control problems, can be solved using the second approach above if the matrix C has only one more row than column.

Published: 11:15 Friday 07 December 2018
A former rugby league player from Wigan has been found guilty of attacking his ex.
Karl Long, who played in both codes for Widnes, Sale Sharks, St Helens, London Broncos and Fylde before opening a tanning salon and nail bar in Wigan town centre in 2007, had been accused of the assault and battery of Melanie Latimer in Up Holland on April 1.
The 37-year-old, of Albion Drive, New Springs, had denied the charge, but at a Wigan and Leigh Magistrates' Court trial he was convicted of the crime.
Long, who is the brother of former St Helens and Great Britain legend Sean Long, was hit with a curfew which means he will be electronically tagged and not allowed to leave home between 7pm and 7am until May 21 next year.
He must also participate in a 30-day Building Better Relationships programme and has a restraining order placed on him preventing his contacting Ms
Latimer unless via a solicitor, social services or through the family courts until June 4 2020.
Justices ordered that he pay his victim £100 compensation, an £85 victim surcharge and court costs of £650.

Alina Skinny Pull-On Ankle Pants In Petite is rated 4.1 out of 5 by 9.
The Alina Pull-On Ankle by NYDJ makes an instant impression and quickly becomes a forever favorite for its timeless style and exceptional comfort. Soft-touch fabric gets even softer with every wash and wear and still keeps its shape, while NYDJ's Lift Tuck® Technology uses a proprietary slimming panel with a patented criss-cross design to make you look and feel one size smaller. This style hits just above the ankle and features functional back pockets and a pull-on waistband for added convenience.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lynne from Love these pants I bought these pants last year, and literally wore them until they fell apart, so I recently ordered a second pair for next summer. The fabric is thick and stains were easy to remove. My only complaint is that the fabric at the knees started to fray, but I really did wear them a lot before that happened. Also, I had them dry cleaned and that may have been harsher for the fabric.The fit is especially good for women with thin legs and thicker waists. They are extremely comfortable and look equally good with casual tees or dressier blouses.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from perfect white jeans I clicked on Trendy/Stylish Dresser, but that is also connected to my age. I am a Sr. citizen and these are perfect (I feel) for any age! My 30 year old daughter loved them! They were pricy, even on sale, but well worth it!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Love them,just ordered a second pair! I love these pants. I am 5 feet and they are a perfect ankle length. The fabric is a nice weight,not to light and not to heavy. White pants can be very hard to find but these will be perfect for either work or play.
Rated 5 out of 5 by DonnaB from Love These! Fit great! Wanted to buy all your colors but there aren't any. Big mistake! Huge!
Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from Way too heavy & thick They arrived really wrinkled, sent them to the cleaners - just to be pressed. They put seams down th sides & looked ridiculous, so I put them in the washer on cold & dryer on light. Came out kind of shrunken and looked so bad I haven't been able to wear them. Total waste of $.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Judy17 from Love no zipper I have black ones like this so I ordered white because I liked them so much. I ordered a petite ankle pant and they are perfect full length for me.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Angel 68 from Great Product My first pair of NYDJ fit so perfectly I knew that was the brand I would always buy. Now on my seventh pair, this particular pant is awesome.

Academy Award, Tony Award and three-time Screen Actors Guild Award winner and Golden Globe nominee Catherine Zeta-Jones ("Chicago," "Ocean's 12," "Traffic," "Feud") will join FOX's hit drama, PRODIGAL SON, for Season Two of the series. Starring as a series regular opposite fellow Welsh actor Michael Sheen, Zeta-Jones will appear in the latter half of the season as DR. VIVIAN CAPSHAW, Claremont Psychiatric's resident MD. In Season Two, DR. MARTIN WHITLY (Sheen) is assigned to infirmary duty, and Dr. Capshaw (Zeta-Jones) revels in tasking "The Surgeon" to clean bedpans and mop the floor. But as Martin proves valuable in treating patients, Capshaw begins to see him in a new light…which is not a good thing.
"An extraordinary talent, Catherine Zeta-Jones is the perfect foil for the brilliant Michael Sheen," said Michael Thorn, President, Entertainment, FOX Entertainment. "I can't wait to see these two greats go head-to-head in a season that is bound to raise the bar set by an outstanding Season One."
Season Two of PRODIGAL SON premieres on a new night, Tuesday, Jan. 12 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. PRODIGAL SON was the No. 1 new series last fall, averaging 9.3 million multi-platform viewers.
PRODIGAL SON follows MALCOLM BRIGHT (Tom Payne), a criminal profiler with a rare talent for getting inside the minds of killers. He learned how they think because his father, Martin Whitly, was a notorious serial killer known as "The Surgeon." Now he's using his twisted genius to help the NYPD solve their most puzzling murders. Bright's team, led by his longtime mentor, NYPD Lieutenant GIL ARROYO (Lou Diamond Phillips), includes Detectives DANI POWELL (Aurora Perrineau), JT TARMEL (Frank Harts) and medical examiner DR.

At ABRCMS 2018, Summer was able to network with Dr. Rivera-Mariani, and exchange professional and personal goals. After some thoughts and interviewing with members of the RIPLRT (whom were very impressed by Summer), she recently accepted to join the RIPL_Eeffect Research Team (RIPLRT).
Summer is a recent gradaute from the Rochester Institute of Technology (Rochester, NY) with a B.S. Biomedical Sciences. She is an aspiring Physician Assistant, and will bring lots of casrisma, knowledge, and an open-mindset into the RIPLRT – she has both research and clinical experience, including being an EMT and "vampire" (a.k.a. phlebotomist).
Summer will begin with us starting March 2019. We look forward to having Summer contribute her knowledge and carisma with the RIPLRT, and to mentor her towards her short and long term professional and personal goals.

Cardenales En Español
Friday before the Rams - and season's end
Darren Urban/Word From The Birds
azcardinals.com
One of the friends and family of Frostee Rucker that will be at the game Sunday in Los Angeles will be his first football coach. Rucker was 6 at the time. He later ended up playing at USC, and so will be back at the Los Angeles Coliseum playing for the first time since college.
"It's almost like full circle in a sense," Rucker said.
The season will come to an end as well. Can't say it's full circle, since at the beginning expectations were so high and here we are, on the final day of practice and it's not even January. That certainly wasn't the plan back in August. The mood was good this week, I'm sure in part because of the win in Seattle. They'd like to finish off with the revenge win against the Rams. "You build your team to win in the division," coach Bruce Arians said, and, despite all the ups and downs, if the Cardinals win Sunday, they will have gone 4-1-1 in the NFC West.
That's a record that Arians admitted, had he known before the season, he'd have assumed they would have won the division.
-- Here's another stat (oh, those sometimes misleading stats) that also would've made you think they could've (would've?) won the division: There are only three teams in the NFL ranked in the top 10 in offense and defense. The Cardinals (eighth in offense, third in defense) are one of them. The others? Playoff-bound New England and Pittsburgh.
-- The Cardinals have not lost an NFC West road game since 2014. They've won five straight heading into this one.
-- It's amazing to think the Cardinals will be starting their fifth different right guard Sunday. It's gone Evan Mathis to Earl Watford to John Wetzel to Earl Watford to Taylor Boggs and now to Evan Boehm.
-- For those wondering, I had a chance to ask Carson Palmer about the late slant pass to J.J. Nelson. It indeed was an audible.
-- The crazy stat of the week: Running back David Johnson is averaging 10.7 yards per catch (77 receptions). Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is averaging 9.6 yards per catch (102 receptions). Yes, Fitz has more catches, but you'd never think a running back would be ahead of a receiver.
-- Speaking of Fitzgerald, Arians said he would not lobby the veteran wide receiver to return in 2017. "It's up to Larry," Arians said of Fitzgerald playing another year. "I've got my fingers crossed. Hopefully he will come back but that's strictly up to him."
-- Arians does have other business with Fitz, though. On Chandler Catanzaro's game-winning field goal last week, Fitz celebrated with the coach a bit too hard. The jumping bear hug hurt Arians' right shoulder, and he admitted Friday it still hurts. What did the MRI show? "Haven't taken one yet," Arians said with a chuckle. "I don't even want to know."
There could still be a price to pay, though.
"If I can't play golf this year (in the offseason), I'll be driving one of those real nice cars," Arians added with a grin.
-- The in-flux offensive line, whatever its shortcomings, has allowed only two sacks total the last two games.
"Proud of them," offensive coordinator Harold Goodwin said. "That's what I told them Wednesday. Just proud of them."
-- Palmer doesn't like sitting out Wednesday practice but he never really fought it either. The Cardinals put a lot of time and effort into the sports science of workload, hits and repetitions -- led by assistant strength coach Anthony Piroli -- to judge such things. Palmer's Wednesday work is part of that science.
"There's reason for it," Palmer said. "There's data behind it. It's amazing the stuff that they keep track of and the information that you get back from that. It makes sense. I see why they do it, and like I said, they're paid professionals. That's their job and that's their role, and you don't have a choice but to listen."
-- This Rod Tidwell "Football Life" trailer is pretty good, NFL Network. I'm going to stick with my Tidwell effort, however.
-- Congrats to Johnson for being named MVP by the Arizona chapter of the PWFA. Same for Kevin Minter for taking the "Good Guy" award for his dealing with the media. Truth be told, there are a bunch of guys that could win the Good Guy award -- Calais Campbell, Patrick Peterson, Tony Jefferson, D.J. Humphries, Tyrann Mathieu and A.Q. Shipley immediately come to mind, and that's not a total list -- but the truth is, we have a very good locker room when it comes to this part of the job.
-- Another season (almost) done. That's 17 in the books for me. Where does the time go?

Notes: Conner among a handful of game-day decisions


We were driving together late one night last week and I tried to put it into words, how I think the light is one of my favorite parts of the Christmas season: the twinkling tree, the lights strung up all over, and the candles fluttering around the house. It's so beautiful; it's breathtaking.
It's was little funny to me at first, how a holiday in the middle of the darkest part of the year is associated with light. But then I realized, maybe that's the point of the season.
Because you can't see the beauty of and need for light unless there's darkness. And the blacker darkness, the brighter the light shines.
I've spent so many hours trapped down in fear of my own darkness. Afraid of myself. Afraid of what I might do. Afraid of mistakes I might make. Afraid of mistakes I have made.
My dark heart of sin cannot block out God's light shining my heart.
What comfort. His light can outshine my darkness, and my darkness will never overcome His light.
The Light of the world burst into the darkness of our black and broken world to banish the dark, to wash it away and free us from it. And darkness cannot block out light.
More importantly, the darkness of my sin cannot block out the Light of the world who is in me. And I'm so thankful. That is what I want all those beautiful, twinkly lights at Christmas time to remind me of.
