YouTube is a great place to stay ahead of the biggest news stories of the world and it's also a valuable source of entertainment, but we could do without those times we get YouTube errors. The best way to fix YouTube errors is to download the content onto your device. If you still want to solve YouTube errors Mac without downloading the videos, then here are some ways to solve YouTube errors and move past those pesky messages telling you an error occurred in YouTube.
We'll be taking a look at some of the most common errors and how you can solve them to make watching YouTube a breeze. Before getting into things though, we'd like to look at the times that you can't fix YouTube errors no matter how long you work on them. In cases like that, the best solution is to have the YouTube videos downloaded directly onto your Mac. Airy YouTube Downloader is a great way to achieve that.
There are many times that you find yourself in the situation where you want to play a YouTube video but instead you get a message telling you that an error has occurred and you should try again later. This is one of the most YouTube errors, but luckily it can typically be resolved by just refreshing the video. Sometimes this solution doesn't work however, and you need to do more. Here's how you can solve this error.
If you're able to hear the video but you can't see it then here are some troubleshooting options for you.
Rebooting your router. Turn it off or unplug it for around 30 seconds before turning it back on.
The black bars problem could be horizontal or vertical black bars, as well as black bars appearing across the whole video. Either way, it makes for a bad viewing experience. The reason the issue occurs is that the size of the video doesn't match up with YouTube video upload requirements. If you want to upload YouTube videos without getting these black bars, then take a look at some of the best video sizes for uploading on YouTube.
Unfortunately this isn't a problem that you can just solve, but you may as well learn why it happens. When a YouTube video isn't available in your country it means that the uploader has specified that only certain countries can watch it due to licensing rights. YouTube will also sometimes block content in certain countries to abide by the laws of that country.
This is a YouTube error where the video doesn't load properly, it refuses to start playing altogether, it gets stuck, or the video player is blank without any video loading. This problem is divided into one of two main errors; either the video is unplayable, or the content can't play at all.
It's possible that your firewall is blocking YouTube, which can cause problems with video playback. You need to look through your firewall settings and allow YouTube to get everything working fine.
These tips can guide you through some of the most common errors with YouTube videos. If you run into other YouTube errors that need to be solved, then the official YouTube help guides and forums are the place to look. While it's inevitable that you would need to solve YouTube errors at some point, YouTube is still a service that you can rely on. YouTube allows you to upload videos and share them with your friends, and you can use third-party software to download the best videos on YouTube directly to your computer or mobile device.

Geek Corner – Legends Of Marvel, A Super Hero Team & Stranger Sneakers
Happy July fellow geeks. As we get ready to prepare for San Diego Comic Con in a few weeks there has been a lot of news on what fans can expect this year. What are you most excited for? Are the new trailers or exclusive collectibles your thing? For me it is the new trailers and some of the collectibles that I have pre-ordered from the SDCC site. This week I am showcasing a cool new helmet collectible from Marvel, a new spin on DC Super Hero Girls and the Nike and Stranger Things sneaker collaboration.
When Two Heroes Collide
Talk about a war machine! The Marvel Legends Punisher War Machine Helmet Prop Replica – Exclusive gives Stark tech to Frank Castle. What could possibly go wrong? This full-size electronic helmet features light-up red eyes and an amazing coat of paint, adding the skull-like design to the face of one of Marvel's most recognizable costumes.
Inspired by the Marvel Future Fight video game, this Marvel Legends Series 1:1 full-scale premium roleplay item is highly detailed and features electronic lights and sounds. In addition to 2 glowing LED eyes, the helmet has a magnetized faceplate that can be detached and then connected to the top. Attaching and detaching the faceplate triggers the light-up eyes and sound FX. The detailed interior mimics serious circuitry. The finish creates an illusion of advanced alloy construction. The plastic Marvel Legends Punisher War Machine Helmet Prop Replica – Exclusive is the perfect addition to any Marvel collection. One size fits most.
Get Your Cape On Again
A new era of DC Super Hero Girls begins in the upcoming original graphic novel DC SUPER HERO GIRLS: AT METROPOLIS HIGH! When Batgirl, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Green Lantern, Bumblebee and Zatanna are continually late to class because of their crime-fighting, they are told to find an after-school club for a whole week or else be suspended. But finding a club is not as easy as it looks, and when the girls keep finding themselves kicked out of the clubs, they must think outside of the box and go out of their comfort zones to avoid suspension. Just when they thought balancing school with secret identities and super-heroing had enough challenge. Written by Amy Wolfram and illustrated by Yancey Labat and it is on sale on 10/9/19 in comic book shops; 10/15/2019 everywhere books are sold.
Demogorgons Need Sneakers Too
In the summer of 1985, several transport vehicles departed from Nike HQ in Beaverton, Oregon, carrying special product shipments headed to multiple locations across the US. Unfortunately, a few of the shipments never made it to their destination. These vehicles all had one thing in common…they were last seen on surveillance footage passing through Hawkins, Indiana. Nike, concerned and confused, never mentioned these missing shipments to anyone for fear that something supernatural was at play.
34 years later, signs of the missing shipments are popping up, piece by piece, and it's clear that there is something deeper, darker and more evil brewing. Fortunately, some of the missing shipments have been located. Their contents are what we now know as iconic Nike styles: the Cortez, Blazer and Air Tailwind '79. Introduced alongside matching apparel, these classic Nike silhouettes were originally intended for the Hawkins High Athletic Dept and feature green and orange color combos with Hawkins High logos. Each shoe comes complete with original-inspired Nike packaging and special edition pins.
Celebrate With The Batman
In celebration of the 80th anniversary of Batman, DC and AT&T* today announced THE BATMAN EXPERIENCE POWERED BY AT&T, a massive, interactive exhibition that includes the largest-ever collection of Batman-related props, costumes and vehicles. The immersive pop-up museum and gaming-centric installation will transport fans into the crime-fighting world of the Dark Knight and will be open to the public at the Comic-Con Museum in Balboa Park at 10 a.m. PT from Thursday, July 18th through Sunday, July 21st. No SDCC badge is required to enter this free exhibition.
THE BATMAN EXPERIENCE, custom-built by AT&T with DC, will include activities on all three levels of the Museum's staggering 68,000 square feet space. A sneak peak of the exhibition will be available to attendees at THE GATHERING, a special ceremony inducting Batman into the Comic-Con Museum Character Hall of Fame on Wednesday, July 17 at 5 p.m., the first time a comic book character has ever been given that honor. Tickets are available at www.ccmgathering.org.

Sandwich cookies are my favorite!
I have big plans for this sauce and a block of tofu. Just wait!
Dinner part 3 happened a couple hours later and was inspired by Heather who was inspired by Sarah to make peanut butter frozen yogurt. I followed Sarah's procedure with 1/2 cup yogurt, 1 tsp peanut butter, and a drop of vanilla. But I couldn't stop, so I also mixed in 1/3 mashed banana, 1 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder, and sprinkle of cinnamon and cardamom. I froze it for 20 minutes, stirred, and froze it for 20 more. Voila!
Perfect way to end the night!
Also, congrats to Lindsay at For the Love of Oats on her one-year blogiversary!! To celebrate, she has some pretty exciting (and lucrative!) contests lined up, so go check it out!
I'll be back after work with today's food … followed by a serious movement to catch up on sleep!
Do you prefer to eat all at once or in pieces?
Gorgeous cookies, kale pizza, fro-yo… YUM!!
I eat in pieces, since I have to be careful how much food I take in at once (due to lack of appetite/Crohn's issues).
I like to stretch out eating as long as I can with various components. Basically because I like to eat and that keeps me from randomly snacking just to have something in my mouth.
Lovely eats! Can't wait to see your BBQ creation!
I definitely prefer to eat in pieces. Much more fun!
Ahhh!! That froyo is genius! You know me, I eat in pieces fo sho. I just like to eat all the time, so pieces works best!
Loved your frozen yogurt additions! I've got some pumpkin ice-cream in the freezer right now. We'll see how it turns out.
Still gotta make that Kale crust pizza – I love it.
what?! I'm making that frozen peanut butter goodness ASAP.
I love to eat in parts! It makes it last longer. the more parts to my meal, the happier of a camper I am! Your eats look delicious, as always!
I like 3 (or sometimes 2 on weekends) satisfying meals each day. Sometimes a bit of chocolate as snacks in between, of course!

==============
Arrow Datasets
==============

Arrow C++ provides the concept and implementation of :class:`Datasets <dataset::Dataset>` to work
with fragmented data, which can be larger-than-memory, be that due to
generating large amounts, reading in from a stream, or having a large
file on disk. In this article, you will:

1. read a multi-file partitioned dataset and put it into a Table,

2. write out a partitioned dataset from a Table.

Pre-requisites
---------------

Before continuing, make sure you have:

1. An Arrow installation, which you can set up here: :doc:`/cpp/build_system`

2. An understanding of basic Arrow data structures from :doc:`/cpp/tutorials/basic_arrow`

To witness the differences, it may be useful to have also read the :doc:`/cpp/tutorials/io_tutorial`. However, it is not required.

Setup
-----

Before running some computations, we need to fill in a couple gaps:

1. We need to include necessary headers.

2. A ``main()`` is needed to glue things together.

3. We need data on disk to play with.

Includes
^^^^^^^^

Before writing C++ code, we need some includes. We'll get ``iostream`` for output, then import Arrow's
compute functionality for each file type we'll work with in this article:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: Includes)
  :end-before: (Doc section: Includes)

Main()
^^^^^^

For our glue, we'll use the ``main()`` pattern from the previous tutorial on
data structures:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: Main)
  :end-before: (Doc section: Main)

Which, like when we used it before, is paired with a ``RunMain()``:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: RunMain)
  :end-before: (Doc section: RunMain)

Generating Files for Reading
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We need some files to actually play with. In practice, you'll likely
have some input for your own application. Here, however, we want to
explore without the overhead of supplying or finding a dataset, so let's
generate some to make this easy to follow. Feel free to read through
this, but the concepts will be visited properly in this article – just
copy it in, for now, and realize it ends with a partitioned dataset on
disk:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: Helper Functions)
  :end-before: (Doc section: Helper Functions)

In order to actually have these files, make sure the first thing called
in ``RunMain()`` is our helper function ``PrepareEnv()``, which will get a
dataset on disk for us to play with:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: PrepareEnv)
  :end-before: (Doc section: PrepareEnv)

Reading a Partitioned Dataset
-----------------------------

Reading a Dataset is a distinct task from reading a single file. The
task takes more work than reading a single file, due to needing to be
able to parse multiple files and/or folders. This process can be broken
up into the following steps:

1. Getting a :class:`fs::FileSystem` object for the local FS

2. Create a :class:`fs::FileSelector` and use it to prepare a :class:`dataset::FileSystemDatasetFactory`

3. Build a :class:`dataset::Dataset` using the :class:`dataset::FileSystemDatasetFactory`

4. Use a :class:`dataset::Scanner` to read into a :class:`Table`

Preparing a FileSystem Object
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In order to begin, we'll need to be able to interact with the local
filesystem. In order to do that, we'll need an :class:`fs::FileSystem` object.
A :class:`fs::FileSystem` is an abstraction that lets us use the same interface
regardless of using Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or local disk – and
we'll be using local disk. So, let's declare it:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: FileSystem Declare)
  :end-before: (Doc section: FileSystem Declare)

For this example, we'll have our :class:`FileSystem's <fs::FileSystem>` base path exist in the
same directory as the executable. :func:`fs::FileSystemFromUriOrPath` lets us get
a :class:`fs::FileSystem` object for any of the types of supported filesystems.
Here, though, we'll just pass our path:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: FileSystem Init)
  :end-before: (Doc section: FileSystem Init)

.. seealso:: :class:`fs::FileSystem` for the other supported filesystems.

Creating a FileSystemDatasetFactory
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A :class:`fs::FileSystem` stores a lot of metadata, but we need to be able to
traverse it and parse that metadata. In Arrow, we use a :class:`FileSelector` to
do so:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: FileSelector Declare)
  :end-before: (Doc section: FileSelector Declare)

This :class:`fs::FileSelector` isn't able to do anything yet. In order to use it, we
need to configure it – we'll have it start any selection in
"parquet_dataset," which is where the environment preparation process
has left us a dataset, and set recursive to true, which allows for
traversal of folders.

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: FileSelector Config)
  :end-before: (Doc section: FileSelector Config)

To get a :class:`dataset::Dataset` from a :class:`fs::FileSystem`, we need to prepare a
:class:`dataset::FileSystemDatasetFactory`. This is a long but descriptive name – it'll
make us a factory to get data from our :class:`fs::FileSystem`. First, we configure
it by filling a :class:`dataset::FileSystemFactoryOptions` struct:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: FileSystemFactoryOptions)
  :end-before: (Doc section: FileSystemFactoryOptions)

There are many file formats, and we have to pick one that will be
expected when actually reading. Parquet is what we have on disk, so of
course we'll ask for that when reading:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: File Format Setup)
  :end-before: (Doc section: File Format Setup)

After setting up the :class:`fs::FileSystem`, :class:`fs::FileSelector`, options, and file format,
we can make that :class:`dataset::FileSystemDatasetFactory`. This simply requires passing
in everything we've prepared and assigning that to a variable:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: FileSystemDatasetFactory Make)
  :end-before: (Doc section: FileSystemDatasetFactory Make)

Build Dataset using Factory
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

With a :class:`dataset::FileSystemDatasetFactory` set up, we can actually build our
:class:`dataset::Dataset` with :func:`dataset::FileSystemDatasetFactory::Finish`, just
like with an :class:`ArrayBuilder` back in the basic tutorial:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: FileSystemDatasetFactory Finish)
  :end-before: (Doc section: FileSystemDatasetFactory Finish)

Now, we have a :class:`dataset::Dataset` object in memory. This does not mean that the
entire dataset is manifested in memory, but that we now have access to
tools that allow us to explore and use the dataset that is on disk. For
example, we can grab the fragments (files) that make up our whole
dataset, and print those out, along with some small info:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: Dataset Fragments)
  :end-before: (Doc section: Dataset Fragments)

Move Dataset into Table
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

One way we can do something with :class:`Datasets <dataset::Dataset>` is getting
them into a :class:`Table`, where we can do anything we've learned we can do to
:class:`Tables <Table>` to that :class:`Table`.

.. seealso:: :doc:`/cpp/streaming_execution` for execution that avoids manifesting the entire dataset in memory.

In order to move a :class:`Dataset's <dataset::Dataset>` contents into a :class:`Table`,
we need a :class:`dataset::Scanner`, which scans the data and outputs it to the :class:`Table`.
First, we get a :class:`dataset::ScannerBuilder` from the :class:`dataset::Dataset`:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: Read Scan Builder)
  :end-before: (Doc section: Read Scan Builder)

Of course, a Builder's only use is to get us our :class:`dataset::Scanner`, so let's use
:func:`dataset::ScannerBuilder::Finish`:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: Read Scanner)
  :end-before: (Doc section: Read Scanner)

Now that we have a tool to move through our :class:`dataset::Dataset`, let's use it to get
our :class:`Table`. :func:`dataset::Scanner::ToTable` offers exactly what we're looking for,
and we can print the results:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: To Table)
  :end-before: (Doc section: To Table)

This leaves us with a normal :class:`Table`. Again, to do things with :class:`Datasets <dataset::Dataset>`
without moving to a :class:`Table`, consider using Acero.

Writing a Dataset to Disk from Table
------------------------------------

Writing a :class:`dataset::Dataset` is a distinct task from writing a single file. The
task takes more work than writing a single file, due to needing to be
able to parse handle a partitioning scheme across multiple files and
folders. This process can be broken up into the following steps:

1. Prepare a :class:`TableBatchReader`

2. Create a :class:`dataset::Scanner` to pull data from :class:`TableBatchReader`

3. Prepare schema, partitioning, and file format options

4. Set up :class:`dataset::FileSystemDatasetWriteOptions` – a struct that configures our writing functions

5. Write dataset to disk

Prepare Data from Table for Writing
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We have a :class:`Table`, and we want to get a :class:`dataset::Dataset` on disk. In fact, for the
sake of exploration, we'll use a different partitioning scheme for the
dataset – instead of just breaking into halves like the original
fragments, we'll partition based on each row's value in the "a" column.

To get started on that, let's get a :class:`TableBatchReader`! This makes it very
easy to write to a :class:`Dataset`, and can be used elsewhere whenever a :class:`Table`
needs to be broken into a stream of :class:`RecordBatches <RecordBatch>`. Here, we can just use
the :class:`TableBatchReader's <TableBatchReader>` constructor, with our table:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: TableBatchReader)
  :end-before: (Doc section: TableBatchReader)

Create Scanner for Moving Table Data
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The process for writing a :class:`dataset::Dataset`, once a source of data is available,
is similar to the reverse of reading it. Before, we used a :class:`dataset::Scanner` in
order to scan into a :class:`Table` – now, we need one to read out of our
:class:`TableBatchReader`. To get that :class:`dataset::Scanner`, we'll make a :class:`dataset::ScannerBuilder`
based on our :class:`TableBatchReader`, then use that Builder to build a :class:`dataset::Scanner`:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: WriteScanner)
  :end-before: (Doc section: WriteScanner)

Prepare Schema, Partitioning, and File Format Variables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Since we want to partition based on the "a" column, we need to declare
that. When defining our partitioning :class:`Schema`, we'll just have a single
:class:`Field` that contains "a":

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: Partition Schema)
  :end-before: (Doc section: Partition Schema)

This :class:`Schema` determines what the key is for partitioning, but we need to
choose the algorithm that'll do something with this key. We will use
Hive-style again, this time with our schema passed to it as
configuration:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: Partition Create)
  :end-before: (Doc section: Partition Create)

Several file formats are available, but Parquet is commonly used with
Arrow, so we'll write back out to that:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: Write Format)
  :end-before: (Doc section: Write Format)

Configure FileSystemDatasetWriteOptions
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

In order to write to disk, we need some configuration. We'll do so via
setting values in a :class:`dataset::FileSystemDatasetWriteOptions` struct. We'll
initialize it with defaults where possible:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: Write Options)
  :end-before: (Doc section: Write Options)

One important step in writing to file is having a :class:`fs::FileSystem` to target.
Luckily, we have one from when we set it up for reading. This is a
simple variable assignment:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: Options FS)
  :end-before: (Doc section: Options FS)

Arrow can make the directory, but it does need a name for said
directory, so let's give it one, call it "write_dataset":

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: Options Target)
  :end-before: (Doc section: Options Target)

We made a partitioning method previously, declaring that we'd use
Hive-style – this is where we actually pass that to our writing
function:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: Options Partitioning)
  :end-before: (Doc section: Options Partitioning)

Part of what'll happen is Arrow will break up files, thus preventing
them from being too large to handle. This is what makes a dataset
fragmented in the first place. In order to set this up, we need a base
name for each fragment in a directory – in this case, we'll have
"part{i}.parquet", which means the third file (within the same
directory) will be called "part3.parquet", for example:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: Options Name Template)
  :end-before: (Doc section: Options Name Template)

Sometimes, data will be written to the same location more than once, and
overwriting will be accepted. Since we may want to run this application
more than once, we will set Arrow to overwrite existing data – if we
didn't, Arrow would abort due to seeing existing data after the first
run of this application:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: Options File Behavior)
  :end-before: (Doc section: Options File Behavior)

Write Dataset to Disk
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Once the :class:`dataset::FileSystemDatasetWriteOptions` has been configured, and a
:class:`dataset::Scanner` is prepared to parse the data, we can pass the Options and
:class:`dataset::Scanner` to the :func:`dataset::FileSystemDataset::Write` to write out to
disk:

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: Write Dataset)
  :end-before: (Doc section: Write Dataset)

You can review your disk to see that you've written a folder containing
subfolders for every value of "a", which each have Parquet files!

Ending Program
--------------

At the end, we just return :func:`Status::OK`, so the ``main()`` knows that
we're done, and that everything's okay, just like the preceding
tutorials.

.. literalinclude:: ../../../../cpp/examples/tutorial_examples/dataset_example.cc
  :language: cpp
  :start-after: (Doc section: Ret)
  :end-before: (Doc section: Ret)

With that, you've read and written partitioned datasets! This method,
with some configuration, will work for any supported dataset format. For
an example of such a dataset, the NYC Taxi dataset is a well-known
one, which you can find `here <https://www1.nyc.gov/site/tlc/about/tlc-trip-record-data.page>`_.
Now you can get larger-than-memory data mapped for use!

Which means that now we have to be able to process this data without
pulling it all into memory at once. For this, try Acero.

.. seealso:: :doc:`/cpp/streaming_execution` for more information on Acero.

Cardinals sign defensive end Shaughnessy
The Cardinals added to their depth on the defensive line Friday by signing free-agent defensive end Matt Shaughnessy to a one-year contract. Financial terms of the deal are not yet known.
The news was first announced on Twitter by Cards outside linebacker O'Brien Schofield, Shaughnessy's college teammate and bookend pass rusher at Wisconsin.
The 26-year-old Shaughnessy, entering his fifth year in the NFL, started all 16 games for the Raiders last year and finished with 3.5 sacks and 42 total tackles, playing about 65 percent of the team's snaps. He missed much of the 2011 season with a shoulder injury after posting career-best numbers in 2010, when he had seven sacks, 56 tackles and two forced fumbles.
Listed at 6-foot-5, 285 pounds, Shaughnessy is considered particularly adept at stopping the run as a 4-3 defensive end, although the Cardinals are expected to retain a 3-4 defense despite the coordinator change from Ray Horton to Todd Bowles under new coach Bruce Arians. Given Shaughnessy's size, it is likely that he will slide into a backup/rotational role behind Calais Campbell at defensive end; the Cards' other starters up front are Darnell Dockett and nose tackle Dan Williams.
Shaughnessy was originally a third-round pick of the Raiders in 2009 and has started 29 games in his career, including every game in which he's been healthy since Week 12 of the 2010 season.
The Cardinals' other defensive signings this week include linebacker Jasper Brinkley, who is expected to start alongside Daryl Washington; safety Yeremiah Bell, likely to replace Kerry Rhodes following his release; and cornerback Jerraud Powers, who will compete for a starting cornerback job vacated by free-agency departure Greg Toler.

A new open world game which lets you play as a escaped prisoner
Every now and then gamers want to explore the dark side in video games. While most titles force you play as the good guy, this new video game actually puts you in the shoes of an escaped prison inmate. Orange jumpsuit and all.
image via SCUM Official
SCUM is an Early Access, open-world-survival-prison-riot-simulator co-developed by Croteam and Gamepires. Set on an island, the premise of the game focuses on an entertainment company called TEC1 which is currently filming their first season of their new reality tv show SCUM. The competitors of the show are actual inmates, and they are pitted against each other with the possibility of being released from prison.
The game's tagline is "Your life sentence is about to become your 15 minutes of fame." and their description, "The world's need for entertainment has turned towards bloodlust as TEC1 is set to premiere season two of its television sensation SCUM."
According to the developers, the game will be a multiplayer open world survival game with "character customization, control, and progression." Additionally, the game is running on Unreal Engine 4!
"SCUM evolves the multiplayer open world survival game with unprecedented levels of character customization, control, and progression where knowledge and skills are the ultimate weapons for long-term survival." The games bio on Steam explains.
The game includes hand to hand combat, basically prison yard fist fights, which many gamers who have obtained early access on steam raved about.

NEW YORK — CBS on Monday filed a lawsuit to stop controlling shareholder Shari Redstone continuing with her plan to merge it with Viacom, saying such a deal would harm its shareholders.
The New York media company has also asked the Delaware Chancery Court to block Redstone from interfering at a special meeting of its board on Thursday called to consider the merger.
News of the lawsuit sent CBS shares up nearly 3 percent and Viacom shares down more than 6 percent. Analysts have said a merger would benefit Viacom more than the stronger CBS.
"Ms. Redstone has acted to undermine the (CBS) management team, including, without board authority, talking to potential CEO replacements, deriding the chief operating officer and threatening to change the board," the lawsuit said.
A representative for Shari Redstone was not immediately available to comment.
At its meeting on Thursday, CBS's special committee of directors intends to recommend a stock dividend that would dilute National Amusements's (NAI) voting power to 17 percent from 80 percent.
NAI is a privately held movie theater company owned by Shari and her father Sumner Redstone that controls a majority of the voting shares in both CBS and Viacom.
Sumner Redstone split his media empire into two pieces 12 years ago, creating CBS and Viacom in their present form. Shari Redstone has been pushing plans to reunite them for the last two years.
CBS and Viacom formed special committees to explore the merger in February. Since then, the two sides have argued over price and who will lead the combined company.
The two companies previously explored a merger in 2016 at the urging of Shari and Sumner Redstone, who believe a deal is needed for the two smaller media companies to compete with growing internet powers Netflix and Amazon pushing deeper into the media business.
CBS said in its lawsuit that Shari Redstone had taken actions over the past two years that have led the special committee of the board considering the merger to conclude that she presents a significant threat to the company and its stockholders.
Its proposed dividend would not dilute the economic interests of any CBS stockholder, but would help the company to operate as an independent, noncontrolled company and fully evaluate strategic alternatives, the company said.
CBS's lawsuit said Redstone rejected an approach by an unnamed potential acquirer of CBS, citing that as another reason her interests are not aligned with other CBS shareholders.
The undisclosed party is Verizon Communications, according to two sources familiar with the situation who requested anonymity to disclose confidential details. A call to Verizon was not immediately returned.

10 Retro Airstreams You Can Rent on Airbnb
Here's how you can spend a week with a piece of vintage Americana.
By Lindsay Cohn
Airbnb has a seemingly endless inventory of unique listings—from tiny homes to geo domes to private islands—but none so nostalgic as the Airstream. These iconic vehicles have been symbols of cross-country travel, adventure, and freedom since 1931. And, 85 years later, they're having a renaissance—particularly when it comes to vacation rentals. Thanks to Airbnb, you, too, can enjoy a real life piece of vintage Americana. From a kitschy camper in Austin to a Malibu trailer with Pacific Ocean views, here are 10 of the raddest Airstreams to consider for your next getaway.
The Land Yacht, Joshua Tree, CA
Situated at the edge of Joshua Tree National Park, The Land Yacht is ideal for adventurous travelers. This 31-foot classic Airstream has been converted into a homey guest cabin. But it's the outdoor space that's particularly Instagram-worthy. The private wooden deck boasts a newly constructed shade structure, dining table, and pool. There's even a chimenea for evening fires.
Delta Dawn, Ashland, OR
Bright colors and kitschy details define the interior of this revamped 1973 Airstream. The outside scores bonus points for the Weber barbecue grill, cedar deck, and elevated dining patio. And you can't beat the location! Delta Dawn offers proximity to downtown Ashland, as well as hiking and biking trails.
Top of the Hill Acres, Topanga, CA
A weekend of glamping awaits at Top of the Hill Acres. Trade your tent for a rustic retro Airstream—or, more accurately, two. This property includes dual trailers—the smaller houses a kitchen while the larger is for snoozing—an outdoor dining table, full size barbecue, and cozy Moroccan nook.
Dixie Daisy, Wimberley, TX
Tucked away in an elm grove along the banks of Smith Creek, the Dixie Daisy blends nature, retro allure, and modern convenience. The refurbished interior remains delightfully vintage. Outside, you'll find a hot tub, fire bowl, outdoor shower, hammock, and treehouse (for adults)!
Malibu Dream Airstream, Malibu, CA
Vacation like an A-lister! Set atop a private bluff, Malibu Dream Airstream (the site of Karlie Kloss and Taylor Swift's Vogue cover shoot) offers privacy, free spirited appeal, and breathtaking views of County Line Beach, Catalina, and Deer Creek Canyon. The immaculately redesigned studio interior opens up to a furnished cantilevered deck—perfect for taking in the spectacular sunrises and sunsets.
The Dawn Treader, Stanardsville, VA
Calling all nature lovers! Nestled in a tree-lined forest, The Dawn Treader is great for a couple or small family. The nightly rate ($115) includes the renovated 32-foot 1986 Airstream and private deck—complete with a seasonal hot tub, gas grill, and woodland views. The master bedroom has a full-sized bed, while the main room is appointed with a pull-out sofa bed, and even the dining nook converts into additional sleeping space.
The Alumilodge, Malibu, CA
The Alumilodge is coastal California dreaming at its best. This 1957 Airstream offers panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Monica Mountains. Spend your days hiking and surfing and your evenings stargazing (with a bottle of vino from a local vineyard, of course). When you're ready to call it a night, retire to the serenity of your queen-sized bedroom.
Vintage Airstream, Austin, TX
For less than $100 ($65 to be exact), you can book a night in this old school silver bullet in Austin. This cozy space is appointed with a hardwood floors, a full size bed, A/C unit, full shower, mini fridge, and microwave. A punchy green ceiling, vintage regalia, and a plethora of maps round out the retro aesthetic.
Temecula Wine Country Airstream 74, Temecula, CA
Perched atop a private hilltop, overlooking Temecula Valley Wine Country, this renovated 1974 Airstream is within walking distance of seven local wineries. After a day of vino tasting, kick back on your private 800-square foot deck—complete with a custom 1932 leaf spring Ford couch, chaise lounges, rolling dining table, breakfast and cocktail bars, gas barbecue, and outdoor refrigerator.
Aluminum Guest House, Mill Valley, CA
The Aluminum Guest House is the perfect marriage of old and new. Although it's been updated with modern comforts—notably cable, wifi, and new plumbing—this 1969 Airstream still retains its Mid-Century charm. A red kitchenette, groovy accent pillows, and a lava lamp enhance the vintage vibe.
Eight Airbnbs That Give Glamping a New Meaning
Seven Insanely Cool Airbnbs You Can Actually Rent
This Is How You Airbnb Like a Celebrity


Brazilian metal label Imperative Music is fond of releasing compilations, the eighth of which I have listened to . Its subtitle "The Awesome Ones Of The Independent Music" sounds grammatically a little awkward but makes it clear what to expect. This is not for profit, but rather to make promotion for all kinds of underground metal. The fact that the compilation is distributed for free is of course nice, but in times of Bandcamp, Spotify and the likes, one wonders if this is still appropriate.
There are always a couple more popular bands on the compilation, as an incentive for people to listen to the CD. This time Relapse Records offer a track by Obituary, and Nuclear Blast one from Epica, both bands delivering of course in their respective death metal and symphonic metal genres. Elephant from Brazil play groovy hard rock à la King's X. Killrazer from Australia convince with progressive thrash metal. Music from Uruguay isn't so commonplace in Europe, but Fallen From Skies show that they are quite adept with their rhythmic groove metal. Another exotic metal country is Macedonia, where Agni Kai are from. They remind a little of Faith No More but sound even crazier. You won't find any Metallica on this compilation, but Belgian band Guilty As Charged sound very close to the late works of the Bay Area kings. Fragmenta from Australia show that the fifth continent not only has hard rock, but also excellent thrash metal bands.
The first eight tracks were all very good or excellent, but this was unfortunately followed by a sobering up experience. The second half was a definite drop in quality. Numbness from Brazil and Winterhearth from Canada come with a badly produced that sounds like early Venom demos. Spit from Brazil play a nice mix of death and thrash metal, but they are followed by the Swiss band Meltdown whose bumpy thrash metal fails to convince. Seconds To End from the state of New Mexico in the USA play symphonic black metal with a lot of electronic gadgetry that knows how to entertain. And this was already the last highlight on the CD. Brazilian Marenna play slick melodic metal. Kingdom Stone, also from Brazil, play a dull rock song that sounds like a Saxon ballad. The end comes with Harry Loisos (Netherlands) and Shepherd (Taiwan), two guitar heroes who are definitely skilful players but perform a genre that's lost its allure probably twenty years ago.
As this compilation is offered purely for promotion, you can't do anything wrong by getting it. You get a CD filled to the last minute with metal, even though the second half is at times quite tedious to listen to. The label's efforts in promoting underground bands deserves recognition though, and therefore one should look forward to future compilations by Imperative Music. One wonders if the label wouldn't reach a wider audience if they offered also a digital download.


Ace Hotels was founded in Seattle in 1999 as an alternative to the uniform approach adopted by corporate brands. Its properties are contemporary, design-led and purposefully set-up to become a part of, and feed off, the local community.
In 2007, Ace opened a second property in Portland, Oregon, and has since opened hotels in Palm Springs, New York and now London. A Los Angeles hotel is scheduled to make its debut in January 2014.
Business Traveller stayed at the brand's new Shoreditch property on Halloween, a few weeks after its opening.
In a word, trendy, although that slightly denigrates what is actually an inspired and extremely comfortable place to stay. It does, however, very much cater for a more cosmopolitan crowd than does the average hotel.
Extremely large, Ace Shoreditch has 258 guestrooms, a restaurant, bar, cafe, gallery space, basement nightclub, takeaway juice bar, and even a florist all contained within.
Despite having only been open for a matter of weeks, the hotel had a lived-in quality, partly the result of vintage-styled furniture and dim lighting, but also because of the building's simple interior decor.
In this, it is similar to the brand's Palm Springs property, where I spent a night two weeks prior to my stay in Shoreditch. Although poles apart geographically and architecturally, both hotels nevertheless share a distinctly timeless feel through choice design.
On Shoreditch High Street in fashionable east London. This whole area has undergone a complete overhaul during the last decade or so and is now the capital's most popular area for young people.
I was staying in room 402, a Deluxe Double on the fourth floor. It offered an amazing view over Moorgate and St Paul's. The room was quiet, aside from the gentle hum of people and traffic below on the very busy Shoreditch High Street.
It had a grey carpet, with black speckles, and white-painted walls, with a mural painted directly onto one. This is a feature of the hotel – each room has a unique mural painted by a different, local young artist. Mine was by Super Mundane and was dated 2013.
The queen double bed had a wooden frame and was quite low, being about a foot-and-a-half off the ground. There were two reading lamps on either side, above the bed, while varnished wooden crates doubled as bedside tables. A phone sat on one.
In the centre of the room was a round oak table with one central leg, and a chair on either side, one cushioned, the other wooden. Hanging from the ceiling and reaching just 60cms above the table was a lamp.
Along the entire back wall ran a long, built-in sofa that was very comfortable and could easily double as a second bed. The large window above the sofa had two blinds – one white, the other a blackout.
An HDTV was attached to a bracket on the wall opposite the bed, and could be angled so you could watch it from the table/sofa area or from the bed.
Unusually, an acoustic guitar hung on the wall to the right of the television and there was a turntable and four LPs. Each room has different records – mine included Grace Jones' Slave To The Rhythm, which I put on for a few minutes before its mid-80s production began to grate. The records were in a good condition, presumably because the hotel had recently opened and they had yet to be carelessly handled.
The bathroom was located immediately to the left on entering the room. It had a black sink and floor tiles and wooden stool with a corkscrew seat. Above the (white) toilet were two baskets – the one on left contained towels, while the one on the right was empty and for used towelling. Two smart, grey Ace-branded dressing gowns by Wings & Horns were hanging on the back of the bathroom door.
In the shower were three large bottles of Davines & Rudy's Barbershop-branded shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The shower itself was Oxygenics and inside the large bathtub, but was pretty powerful.
Next to the bathroom door in the bedroom was the wardrobe with a sliding door that automatically triggers an interior light once opened. It contained coathangers, a safe, hairdryer, iron and ironing board. A long mirror was fastened to the wall opposite.
Also in the wardrobe was a fridge with drinks including bottles of white wine, ginger beer, water and cans of Red Stripe. Also in the room, on a shelf above the television, were bottles of Jamesons and red wine.
A metal cabinet, with the turntable and a Revo radio on top, was to the right of the bed. It contained food and sweets including Monster Munch crisps, popcorn and Pot Noodles.
The room was well thought out and extremely homely, for want of a better word. The old adage about a hotel room being a home away from home is rarely true, but this really was a comfortably casual environment to spend the night in. My only complaint would be that the air conditioning was a bit loud, so I was grateful my stay wasn't in the summer.
Hoi Polloi, an "English modernist brasserie", is on the ground floor and can seat 100 people, with 40 more in the adjoining bar area. Filled with wooden booths, it has the appearance of a smart American diner.
It is open from 7am until late and its menu from 11am-11pm includes plaice, rabbit and hamburger and chips. An overnight room service menu runs from 11pm-7am.
Breakfast can be taken either in Hoi Pollio or it can be delivered to your room – simply fill in an order form and stick it to your room door with a magnet before 2am.
There is also a lobby bar and a (separate) coffee shop, called Bulldog Edition, that cater for both guests and passers-by. Both are located between reception and the Hoi Polloi restaurant.
In the basement is another large bar/nightclub. This had yet to open when I stayed, but was nearing completion. Sound-proofed, it looked like it could easily host a couple of hundred people.
A conference space on the seventh floor that accommodates 200 people is scheduled to open in May 2014. Also on the seventh floor will be four smaller meeting rooms. These plans are subject to change.
Adjacent to the reception is a lounge with armchairs and a long table with a bench running along each side. During my visit, the area was pretty full with people talking or working on their laptops.
A gym is located in the basement with equipment supplied by Life Fitness, including a rowing machine, two treadmills and two cycling machines. There is also a sauna.
Some might find Ace Hotel Shoreditch London "too cool for school", but it it is an impressive hotel for those who prioritise comfort and an informal atmosphere.


The first highly stretchable and sensitive spin valve sensor on elastomeric membranes are demonstrated. The sensor elements exhibit stable GMR behavior up to tensile strains of 29% in in situ stretching experiments and show no fatigue over 500 loading cycles. This remarkable stretchability is achieved by a predetermined periodic fracture mechanism that creates a meander-like pattern upon stretching. © 2012 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.


Rod Rosenstein is the Deputy Attorney General, second-in-command at the United States Department of Justice (DOJ). Rosenstein assumed oversight of the DOJ's investigation into possible cooperation between the Trump campaign and Russian operatives during the 2016 election after Attorney General Jeff Sessions, a Trump campaign surrogate, recused himself.
Rosenstein told the Senate in a closed-door session back in May that he knew President Trump planned to fire Comey before he wrote his memo.

IRC intervenes in the Clyde River Supreme Court of Canada appeal
The Inuvialuit Regional Corporation (IRC)
INUVIK, NT, Nov. 30, 2016 /CNW/ - The Inuvialuit Regional Corporation (IRC) is delivering oral arguments today before the Supreme Court of Canada in the appeal of Hamlet of Clyde River et al v PGS et al. The IRC represents the Inuvialuit under the Inuvialuit Final Agreement.
The case involves a decision by the National Energy Board (NEB) to authorize seismic testing in Baffin Bay and the Davis Straight. The testing would project sound loud enough to severely affect whales and other marine life harvested by the Inuvialuit. The Inuvialuit right to harvest these animals is a central guarantee of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement (IFA).
"The Inuvialuit have many years of experience dealing with offshore oil and gas exploration," says Duane Smith, Chair and CEO of IRC. "We want to see development conducted responsibly without eroding the hard-won rights under the IFA including our right to be engaged using its constitutionally protected review processes."
"People often assume that other governments, like provinces and municipalities, make decisions that are reasonable unless shown otherwise. But they don't assume that Aboriginal governments will make reasonable decisions if they are consulted about development projects. In our view, reconciliation means that Aboriginal governments, with years of experience making responsible resource development decisions, must also be trusted to be reasonable."
Kate Darling, lawyer for the IRC, explained that IRC is advocating that the legal principle of free, prior and informed consent (FPIC), set out in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, should guide Aboriginal consultation where modern land claim rights are at stake.
"FPIC doesn't provide a veto to Aboriginal peoples to just say 'no' to projects. What it does instead is level the playing field so that everyone is working towards the same goal," she said. Darling said that the principle of FPIC is the logical extension of previous court cases on Aboriginal consultation, and provides more meat on the bones about what the Crown's obligations really are when a high degree of consultation is required. "Consultation is about mutual respect, and many Aboriginal groups, including the Inuvialuit, feel as though the Crown's current approach does not start from a place of seeing Aboriginal as equal partners," she said. "FPIC is really about getting to a more respectful process."

Gaijin Learning Japanese
It's not really as hard as it seems.
Bootstrapping a language
On March 10, 2018 By rmiller
In computer science, there is a concept called bootstrapping. It applies primarily at two points: The first is when you start a computer up, and the second is when you write a new language. It refers to "pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps".
When you begin writing another language, you have to write it in another language. The earliest were written in machine code, meaning hexadecimal values that the processor interprets into instructions. But as the craft advanced, the languages became even more abstract, until you have today's monstrosities of Java, python, and whatever else there is.
But the languages had to come from somewhere.
So what happened was that someone had an idea for a language. They then began writing that language in a different language. For example, the people who wrote GCC began writing in a different compiler, and continued writing until the compiler they were writing could compile itself. Once that became the case, there was no longer the need for the other compiler.
Learning a language is bootstrapping.
Even a child bootstraps into their first language. This is because children already have a language – the language of emotions, of need, of body language. That is translated into concepts that the child starts with, and then soon the language sort of takes over and becomes the language of the inner monologue. The inner monologue then becomes "baked in", and that is one's native language.
So it is necessary, in the beginning, to relate concepts in a language to your native language. But this is only a bootstrapping process and must be seen as such. The goal has to be to be able to have enough of a grounding in the language to begin to see it for what it is – to speak it in its own language.
This is why I'm actually not paying much attention to actual vocabulary right now. Vocabulary absolutely is important and one must learn it. But, to me, the vocabulary is less important than the framework. The syllabary first, then the kanji along with the particles, the conjugations, and understanding how words are built. At that point, vocabulary, I think, becomes fairly simple. Still a lot of memorization, but simple. Yes, vocabulary is attained as a side effect of learning kanji, and also one must know some in order to understand the grammar, but that's not the focus, and not all words have kanji equivalents.
Building the structure, then adding in the glass, tiling etc. Seems to me the logical way to do it.

Internet traveling to Nome on light waves
Fiber-optic broadband may send movie lovers to the kitchen for more and more popcorn next year when they can download entertainment without buffering delays and without running up over-the-limit charges early in billing periods.
Local Internet service providers should be able to hook up for the first time to affordable wholesale fiber optic broadband service coming ashore in March next year, according to Elizabeth Pierce, CEO and co-founder of Quintillion Networks.
Internet users will not be able to look up and see cables transferring data from pole to pole. The only place residents can see signs of data coming into Nome is at a "manhole" installation on the north side of East Front Street. That's where a narrow fiber-optic will come ashore from a subsea cable bringing information coded in light waves. From there, a terrestrial cable will run west underground to a station at the Tel-Alaska building.
The network comprises a three-pair system with one pair reserved for express route between Europe and Asia.
Quintillion is running a 766-mile subsea cable system from Nome to Prudhoe Bay, with spurs coming off to village landings at Kotzebue, Point Hope, Wainwright, Barrow and Oliktok Point.
Quintillion held informational meetings in landing communities last week.
Quintillion is committed to bringing affordable broadband to rural Alaska villages, Pierce said.
However, there are currently no plans for technicians in Quintillion service trucks to roll up to connect homes to fast, cheap Internet service. Quintillion is leaving installation to local ISPs.
Quintillion is a carrier for local providers that will sell broadband wholesale to any local provider, thus fostering competition and economical service. Quintillion expects ISPs to pass the savings on to customers. Quintillion's business will be carrier neutral; all telecoms can use the networks.
However, Quintillion plans to keep an eye on broadband services; if the company does not see urban comparability developing in access and pricing, the company will step in, Pierce said Feb. 11.
Pierce expects affordable high-speed bandwidth to enable improvements in education, healthcare, public safety, search and rescue and to stimulate economic growth, all bettering quality of life in rural Alaska and northern communities.
The City of Nome has supported Quintillion's application for a permit from the U.S Army Corps of Engineers to bring the spurs ashore from the marine route.
"The linking of this new fiber-optic line from the existing North Slope terrestrial-based service to these six rural Alaska communities will provide critically needed high-speed Internet services to a region where connectivity is frequently compromised and delayed, City Manager Tom Moran wrote to the U.S.ACE.
A U.S. investment group, Cooper Investment Partners, and selected Alaska investors privately fund Quintillion Networks, based in Anchorage. There is no government or grant money; users will pay costs.
Several years ago a group with experience in the telecommunications activities learned about Canadian company Arctic Fibre's plan to run a subsea intercontinental fiber optic from London to Tokyo by passing through the Northwest Passage, they got the idea to tap into the fiber-optic cable with spurs off the cable to Alaska communities.
Now, within the last year, Quintillion Networks LLC has purchased the assets of Arctic Fibre. Arctic Fibre is no longer a part of the project development.
Quintillion has contracted with French company Alcatel Submarine Works, a global supplier of subsea cable systems to lay the subsea cable. Work will begin in late June and continue into September. Phase 1 will construct the Alaska system becoming operational in early 2017. From Prudhoe Bay a terrestrial cable will run travel down the Dalton Highway to Fairbanks. An existing fiber-optic system will take data from Fairbanks to Anchorage and the Pacific Northwest.
Planning began in 2015 and included consultations with whalers and co-management groups as well as community meetings.
In Phase 2, under development, cable will extend from a branching unit at Nome to Japan, with options for additional Alaska spurs such as to Shemya. Phase 3 will take subsea cable from Prudhoe Bay to Canada and Europe by way of the Northwest Passage with spurs to communities in the Canadian Arctic. Phases 2 and 3 will add additional multiple redundancies.
When complete, the Quintillion system will join an undersea network of over 300 underwater cables systems connecting continents and crisscrossing between population centers.
The route for the Alaska system has been confirmed. Cable will be buried in shallow areas and lie on the sea floor in deeper water. The system will have multiple redundancies, meaning there will be several routes for data to travel along the network to destinations.
Bathymetric surveys have revealed where there might be threat of ice scouring and the route planned accordingly. Fishery activities and offshore gold miners offer threats to the cable. Quintillion has worked with local miners and fishers to winnow a route through areas of high activity.
Alcatel will use the 460-foot vessel Ile de Brehat to lay or bury cable by dragging a plow at 0.5 knots.
Study shows the sound level of cable laying at 170-to 180 decibels at the source. Seismic activities produce noise at a level of 220 to 240 decibels at the source.
The cable route observes a buffer around Alaska's coastline ranging from five to 50 miles.
Quintillion has made the resources of the Alaska Marine Exchange available to environmental monitoring groups to be able to pinpoint the location of the Ile de Brehat as desired.
There will be regular ship-to-shore communication between the ship and AEWC and landing villages.
As retreating ice has opened arctic waters to commerce, resource exploration shipping and other marine activities, it has also opened pathways for digital communication cables, permitting a critical link for potential users of the network to existing resources and developing needs among northern communities.

After being told by the War Office 'my good lady go home and sit still' as women doctors and surgeons were not permitted to serve in front-line hospitals, Elsie offered her services to Britain's allies. On their acceptance, she formed the Scottish Women's Hospitals (SWH) and together with her colleagues and associates from the suffragist movement between 1914-1919 raised the equivalent of £53m in today's money to buy equipment and get their stations to the front line.
Seventeen Scottish Women's Hospitals were set up across France, Corsica, Greece, Macedonia, Romania and Serbia to treat soldiers, as well as a number of satellite hospitals and dressing stations, manned by nearly 1,500 women.
The group holds a series of monthly talks between October and April each year. These are held in the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh and the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and are open to all.
The Institute of Health and Wellbeing, University of Glasgow and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow are collaborating in a series of seminars on medical history, medical humanities and related topics.

On 24th June 1950 at the Society's 8th meeting Professor Whitfield Bell described the life and work of John Morgan an Edinburgh medical gradutae of 1763.
Morgan was the principal founder of the first medical school in America, at Philadelphia in 1765. Indeed it was from the Edinburgh Medical School that the inspiration, the model, and the trained men to found this first medical school in America came. Morgan's project for American medical practice and education comprised three heads. He wanted to raise the standards of professional practice by separating the practice of medicine from the practice of surgery and the sale of drugs. He founded a medical school in connection with a U niversity, and required candidates for medical degrees first to have had a sound general training in the liberal arts and sciences. He wanted to create in Philadelphia a College of Physicians like the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, of which he was a Fellow (1763), that physicians might exchange ideas' and encourage and enforce high standards.

Donate blood, receive tickets to Sheboygan County Fair
Special to Sheboygan Press Media
MILWAUKEE – BloodCenter of Wisconsin is inviting Sheboygan-area donors to come to the rescue for area patients by donating blood at the Sheboygan County Fair Blood Drive.
The drive will be held from 1-6 p.m. July 16, in the Aviation Heritage Center located at the Sheboygan County Airport, N6191 Resource Drive, at County Highway O.
Appointments to donate are encouraged and can be made at www.bcw.edu/ShebFair or by calling 1-877-232-4376. All attempting donors will receive two complimentary tickets to the fair.
The Sheboygan County Fair Blood Drive is part of BloodCenter's summer blood donation effort, "You to the Rescue." First responders including police officers, firefighters and paramedics, are partnering with BloodCenter to help raise awareness of the critical need for blood donations during the summer months.
Summer is the time when first responders, like Flight For Life Paramedic Rich David, count on blood donors to help trauma patients. There is an especially great need for O-negative blood.
"BloodCenter's donations go down during the summer," David said. "Unfortunately, that's when we need blood the most."
David explained that paramedics work in concert with community partners to come to the aid of individuals in life-threatening situations.
"People call us heroes all the time, but we can't do it alone. BloodCenter gives us blood, and we save lives," he said.
BloodCenter of Wisconsin hopes to see more than 50 donors at this drive to meet the needs of the patients it serves.
By donating at the Sheboygan County Fair Blood Drive, residents can be assured they will save the day for patients at local hospitals such as Aurora Memorial and Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. Flight For Life Operations throughout south and central Wisconsin rely on the crucial donations of O negative blood by local donors to make life saving flight operations possible.
Anyone 16 or older who is in general good health and meets eligibility requirements is encouraged to donate blood. Parental consent is required for 16-year-olds to donate.
Appointments are preferred to ensure a quick and convenient donation, but walk-in donors are also welcome. The entire process takes about an hour. Donors should bring a photo ID that includes birth date.

Watched you for the first time ever at Rio and as much as I hoped UK would do great your performances were amazing! The last time I enjoyed such a great performance was Shannon Miller back in 1996!
Hi! I love you!! I am a swinmer!


Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp hit out at the referee and Neymar as his side slumped to a 2-1 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain that leaves last season's runners-up dangerously close to an early Champions League exit.
Juan Bernat and Neymar scored to put PSG in control in the first half in the French capital on Wednesday, before a James Milner penalty on the stroke of half-time ensured this pivotal game remained in the balance until the death.
PSG knew a defeat here coupled with an unfavourable result in the night's other Group C game could see the ambitious Qatar-owned club eliminated already.
But instead it is Liverpool — beaten in each of their last five games away from Anfield in the Champions League — who now seem the more likely to miss out on the last 16.
"When you saw their line-up, the approach they chose was full risk, especially in the beginning, to try everything as long as your legs carry you. The quality they have meant it was obviously quite intense to deal with," admitted Klopp.
He acknowledged that his team had not been good enough, but hinted that a "clever" Neymar had play-acted to break the game up. He was also unhappy at Polish referee Szymon Marciniak for his decision not to send off Marco Verratti for a challenge on Joe Gomez in the first half.
"For me it's a red card. I look like a bad loser, but I don't care," said Klopp.
With Napoli beating Red Star Belgrde 3-1, in a tight group Liverpool must now win either 1-0 or by two clear goals at home to the Italians in a fortnight if they are to progress.
PSG had only won one of their previous seven games in the competition. However, Klopp's side were completely overrun in the opening stages at the Parc des Princes.
Kylian Mbappe tried to square for Edinson Cavani, but the ball broke to Bernat, and the Spaniard swept home his second goal in this season's competition.
Verratti's challenge on Gomez came midway through the first half, but PSG survived that and went on to double their lead thanks to a clearly wound up Neymar.
"We were not worried about playing at home. We know how strong we are and we always knew we could do it," said Mbappe.

Ok, the plot is as follows, Mike Nelson (Lloyd Bridges) wears swimming trunks, Mike Nelson gets wet, Mike Nelson saves people and things that are underwater etc, etc.
In all fairness there was a bit of structure, he was a 'for hire' professional scuba diver whose services were required by everyone from children who had lost things, law enforcement to solve crimes, people looking for treasure, even the U.S. Navy occasionally required his services. By the way a lot of these adventures were pro bono and done just because he was a "good guy".
Bridges narrated the action during the underwater scenes so that we knew what was going on. He would also offer a short commentary at the end of each show, usually about protecting the oceans or other environmental topics.
When the show started Bridges had never scuba dived before but by the final season he had grown so accomplished that he even did most of his own underwater stunts. The show seemed to follow his progress with the first season having Mike Nelson as more of a land based investigator with scuba skills to the later seasons (2-4) where over half of the shows footage would be on or under the water.
Real scuba tanks were too heavy for Bridges to wear during the land portion of diving scenes so exact replicas made out of balsa wood were constructed.
Since scuba divers don't wear hats either black or white to differentiate the good guy from the bad guys Mike Nelson always used a double hose regulator and the bad guys used single hose models so you could tell them apart.
The other advantage was that double hoses exhaust the exhale (bubbles) behind the diver so they wouldn't block any close up camera shots of Bridges underwater.


In 1983, an animated television movie based on The Tomb of Dracula was released. Much of the main plot was condensed and many characters and subplots were truncated or omitted. The film was animated in Japan by Toei and sparsely released on cable TV in North America by Harmony Gold under the title Dracula: Sovereign of the Damned.

The objective of this study is the identification of the organisational characteristics that could help explain the reasons behind the relative efficiency of small and medium firms in Chile. This is achieved first by discriminating the efficient firms from the inefficient ones using the data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique, and second, using contingency tables for identifying the organisational characteristics that discriminate the efficient units from the inefficient ones. The analysis utilises data of 500 firms located in the Valparaiso Region, separated by size, economic activity, number of workers, and other qualitative and quantitative attributes. The profile of efficient small and medium firms that statistically emerged from the study is: large sales volume together with small amounts of purchases and expenses - this implies high value added to what they sell -, low levels of fixed assets and depreciation - they rent what they need instead of purchasing it -, higher salaries are paid to a workforce that is smaller, better qualified and more productive.

My Bloody Valentine: Here Come the Drones
The figureheads of an entire subgenre of modern rock music, My Bloody Valentine is the only band in history to make a career out of not releasing a record.
Following the likes of Glenn Branca, Band of Susans, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Phil Specter, and Alan Moulder, as well as the core sound associated with Alan McGee's Creation Records, My Bloody Valentine became a genre unto themselves with their second full-length record. Released on November 4th, 1991, Loveless was Kevin Shields' self-proclaimed masterpiece and few have disagreed with that designation. Its sultry vocals buried in layers of guitars launched a thousand imitators as it became one of the most influential records of the 1990s.
After Loveless came out, The Stone Roses waited five years to release a great follow-up record and everyone hated it. The Britpop of the era hadn't been much for following-up on its initial brilliance. As of last night, My Bloody Valentine has finally tried. They've delayed this record so many times that most of us doubted it would ever happen, yet according to the server load on their website last night, they found what the world was waiting for.
It's difficult to say what any of us expected from a follow-up, but wearing out the Reload button on our web browsers probably wasn't one of them. Regardless, mbv is apt. It's noisy and beautiful in the way that all of their records are, and in that way that only they can seem to do.
It's also still sinking in. Upon a day or so of listening, I can definitely say that I like it. I'm glad it's here. It seems choppier and less seductive than Loveless, perhaps less love than Loveless. It's thornier, worn down, weary, and gives less of a fuck. One thing's still for damn sure: No one does this sound better than My Bloody Valentine.
For example, here's "In Another Way" from mbv, which I could listen to all day [runtime: 5:32]:
6oXJus1ajIU
In the meantime, Loveless has been lauded, applauded, imitated, reissued, copied, covered, and worshipped. In 2007, Athens, Georgia's Japancakes did an all-instrumental cover album of the whole thing. Here's their version of "Only Shallow" [runtime: 8:57]:
zjDs37Ya6ks
As if anticipating the stars' alignment, a couple of other MBV-related projects have emerged more recently. A little over a week ago, Japan's High Fader Records released a Loveless tribute album called Yellow Loveless, which is much, much better than similar send-ups usually are. Tokyo Shoegazer's two covers sound damn well indistinguishable from the originals, Lemon's Chair stay true to their two entries as well, Shonen Knife evoke the girl-group roots of shoegazing pop on their version of "When You Sleep," and the mighty Boris do a slowly crushing but primarily faithful rendition of "Sometimes." Goatbed stray the furthest from the original "Loomer," making it almost all their own. But the real gem here is Sinobu Narita's "Blown a Wish," which takes the original to dreamy new heights. Here's Yellow Loveless in full [runtime: 1:01:25]:
Lbf8h3sykiw
In a slightly more experimental vein, Bullet for My Bloody Valentine is an hour-long drone-fest released late last year that makes its source material sound downright poppy. As described on the project's Bandcamp page, the record is made up of "tracks taken from My Bloody Valentine's Loveless and Bullet For My Valentine's The Poison slowed down, the best bits cut out and layered on top of each other to create some sort of droney noise album." It sounds nothing like either record, and it's actually quite nice.
So, MBV fever is at an all-time high, but it's hard to say if mbv will be judged well considering its predecessor and the decades in between. I for one aim to ignore the inevitable backlash that's been germinating for the twenty-one year wait and enjoy the new My Bloody Valentine record. Finally.
P.S. Be on the lookout for an entry in Scott Heim's The First Time I Heard… book series on My Bloody Valentine, including an essay about my first time.

Peter McEvoy sheds light on documentary filmmaking from the 1960s
By Charles Byrne,
Thursday, 1st November 2018
The latest RTS Republic of Ireland event at the end of October threw a light on the Radharc documentaries, made over almost four decades by a film unit of Catholic priests in Ireland.
In his presentation at RTÉ Television Centre, Dublin, Peter McEvoy explained how the Radharc – Gaelic for vision – films started in the early 1960s. They are not religious programmes as such, but reflect a spiritual ethos.
McEvoy, a former RTÉ producer, used excerpts from the films to illustrate Radharc's remarkably broad reach, both geographically and thematically.
The first Radharc programme was aired in January 1962 and over the next 34 years RTÉ broadcast more than 400 from Ireland and around the world.
Radharc films picked up many awards both national and international and were regularly in the viewers' top ten of most-watched programmes on RTÉ.
The film-makers were not afraid to tackle difficult and controversial topics. Their standing as clergy allowed them a level of access that a team of lay film-makers might not have been able to achieve. Night Flight to Uli, filmed in Biafra during the Nigerian Civil War at the end of the 1960s, brought the famine in the region to the world's living rooms and led to the launch of the charity, Concern.
Preserving the archive is the mission of the Radharc Trust, headed by Peter Dunn, a brother of one of the Radharc founders, Father Joe Dunn.
