As the scarcity of water becomes a more pressing issue worldwide, the drive for industrial wastewater treatment systems that reclaim and reuse wastewater grows more important.
As the scarcity of water becomes a more pressing issue worldwide, the drive for industry to reclaim and reuse wastewater grows more important. Moreover, industry faces increasingly stringent state and federal requirements regulating contaminant limits for wastewater discharge. As such, conventional industrial wastewater treatment technologies alone—such as precipitation, filtration, and ion exchange—are unable to meet new and emerging discharge limits.
"The real impact of regulations has been the result of lower nutrient limits, such as phosphate," says Gary Engstrom, technology manager for U.S. Water Services. "To meet the less than 1.0 PPM or 0.3 PPM phosphorous limit requires chemical precipitation in most instances. These levels can only be achieved if carryover and fine particulate matter can be completely eliminated." This puts pressure on the final filtration steps, which require better technology, operation and control. The tighter nutrient and total dissolved solids have also driven greater water reuse in the industrial sector, which requires better filtration and higher quality industrial wastewater treatment streams.
Over the past decade or so, industrial wastewater treatment has experienced a transition from conventional media filtration to high-efficiency centrifugal filters to cloth media disk filters and, finally, to micro-, ultra-, and nano-membrane filtration systems. Engstrom says the evolution of technology has not only ensured high-quality effluent for discharge, but also enabled the trend toward reuse.
In addition to removing foulants, such as turbidity, organic matter, and total suspended solids (TSS) to meet the optimum SDI (silt density index) for feeding a reverse-osmosis unit, Karrs says removing silica and/or softening the feed water is often important for industrial wastewater treatment.
There has been an increase in demand for tubular microfiltration systems to replace solids contact clarifiers and multimedia filters for chemical softening to remove calcium, magnesium and silica for SDI feed to a reverse-osmosis system. Similarly, Karrs says municipal applications are employing hollow-fiber membrane filters on the discharge to remove turbidity, organic matter, and TSS to provide the low SDI needed for reverse-osmosis reclaim of sanitary plant discharges.
From an application perspective, there is a growing trend toward tertiary industrial wastewater treatment to facilitate water reuse in industrial facilities.
"A number of plants are now employing ultra-filtration after clarification with a portion of the stream going to reverse-osmosis units to permit application as cooling and boiler water make-up," says Engstrom. "This cuts across many industrial market segments, including food & beverage, fuel ethanol, and power to name a few." Further, he says, several plants have actually converted to zero liquid discharge, which requires exceptional filtration systems to be successful.
Meanwhile, the use of hollow-fiber membranes for filtration prior to reverse-osmosis of municipal plants has moved to the industrial wastewater treatment market and allowed significant modifications to activated sludge-type systems.
Karrs also cites zero liquid discharge as a promising application, but says the energy requirement will play a part in future growth.
As the use of MBR systems grows and reaches out into different industries, the membranes are exposed to a wide variety of organic compounds, some of which may have an adverse impact on the membranes. When using a membrane-filtration approach in a new application, it is important to test the application to ensure there are no fouling or chemical degradation impacts.
"The economics behind water recycle/reuse solutions have to be thoroughly examined before choosing a certain treatment approach," says Karrs.
Engstrom says the membrane journey will continue with better materials of construction and system configurations that will tolerate broader operating condition windows for industrial wastewater treatment. Membrane surfaces will have higher or more consistent flux capacities with better utilization of available surface area.

BFGoodrich® Tires Celebrates Decades of Desert Racing Dominance at SEMA
As title sponsor for Baja 1000 race, BFGoodrich brings off-road experience to Las Vegas
BFGoodrich® Tires will highlight its rich history of desert racing at the 2017 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show in Las Vegas. For the first time, BFGoodrich is the title sponsor for the SCORE 50th Baja 1000 race and will bring off-road racing experiences to SEMA attendees.
BFGoodrich has roots in desert racing that go back more than 40 years. In 1975, the company's engineers decided to use the punishing Baja landscape as a testing ground for a new concept that revolutionized all-terrain tires – a radial light-truck tire for both off- and on-road use. To celebrate this milestone and the title sponsorship of the Baja 1000 race on Nov. 16, BFGoodrich will join SCORE International Off-Road Racing at SEMA with unforgettable experiences highlighting the excitement of desert racing.
The Pit Crew Challenge
To give SEMA attendees a taste of the adrenaline-fueled world of desert racing, BFGoodrich will host a one-of-a-kind Pit Crew Challenge. Two-member teams will compete, racing against the clock in a simulated pit stop to change BFGoodrich Baja T/A® KR2 race tires on a SCORE Baja Chenowth Pre-Runner buggy. Each day a winning team will be awarded two sets of BFGoodrich Tires.
Any SEMA attendee older than 18 can compete in the Pit Crew Challenge, which takes place Tuesday, Oct. 31, through Thursday, Nov. 2, at the SCORE Baja Experience in the Silver Lot outside of the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Outstanding Trails winners announced
The winners of the 2017 Outstanding Trails program will be announced by BFGoodrich at SEMA. The program promotes sustainable and responsible off-road driving, and awards grants of $4,000 to off-road clubs around the United States. Now in its 12th year, the program assembles a panel of judges consisting of four-wheel industry experts to select the winning trails.
The four 2017 winners will be announced by BFGoodrich at SEMA at 2:15 p.m. PST on Oct. 31 at the Silver Lot.
In the past 12 years, Outstanding Trails has awarded grants worth $160,000 to 44 off-road trails nominated by 41 local enthusiast clubs across America.
SCORE Baja 1000 Qualifying at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway
Two weeks before the start of the iconic race in Baja California, Mexico, 35 of the world's top off-road racers will convene at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway for the SCORE Baja 1000 Qualifying, presented by BFGoodrich. The event begins at 6 p.m. PST on Oct. 31 on the off-road track at the speedway. SEMA show badge holders will be admitted for free at the LVMS gate.
BFGoodrich brings SEMA attendees exclusive, VIP screening of Dust 2 Glory film sequel
The epic Baja desert-racing film Dust To Glory premiered in 2005, lifting the veil of mystery from the sport and creating a new generation of off-road racing fans. Now more than a decade later, the highly anticipated sequel, Dust 2 Glory, is scheduled to premier nationwide in theaters on Dec. 6. But credentialed SEMA attendees have an opportunity to see the film a month early, compliments of BFGoodrich.
The documentary took 18 months to film and chronicles the SCORE 2016 World Desert races, giving viewers a rare vantage point of racing on the world's most unforgiving terrain. The exclusive VIP premier will take place Nov. 1 at 7 p.m. PST at the SCORE Baja 1000 Experience in the Silver Lot outside of the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. A SEMA credential is required for admittance.
In addition to these events, BFGoodrich will be present at the SCORE Baja Experience at the Silver Lot throughout the SEMA show, with tire and vehicle displays and staff available to answer questions.

HomeColumnistsKen SkupskiMelting pot'We hadn't come this far to look like idiots, as other Brits had done on the same court in years past'
'We hadn't come this far to look like idiots, as other Brits had done on the same court in years past'
KEN SKUPSKI is one of Britain's best tennis players, a doubles specialist with 20 titles to his name whose breakthrough season was 2009, when he won twice at ATP events. Born in north-west England, he studied at Louisiana State University. His abiding passion away from the court is supporting Liverpool. Here in his debut column for sportingintelligence, Ken introduces himself and explains why he always felt destined to make it as a player
From a very early age I wanted to be the best doubles players in the world. I was in love with tennis. I played more than anyone. Six or seven hours on court every summer's day was the norm. I wouldn't take no for an answer until someone gave me the chance to show off the skills I was taught the day before. I was addicted and everyone knew it.
I was fortunate to have a club – Palmerston tennis club – right behind my house; it was a kid's dream, and my place of work.
My dad was keen for me to be the best. My parents took me all over the country to play matches against the best. I competed in singles against the best, but deep down I had a feeling I wasn't going to cut it.
On the other hand, I felt my doubles skills were progressing. I began playing club doubles at age eight. I started in the lowest division but it didn't take long for people to recognise my doubles ability.
The Liverpool tennis leagues were booming at the time and this was where I felt at home. This was where I was learning my trade. I didn't turn up each Tuesday night for a social game of tennis. It was war and I wasn't willing to come off court until I had taken down two older, wiser pairs.
Most opponents expected me to hit a few nice shots but end up making too many mistakes. No me. I was embracing the situation. It was great to see their faces when a kid over half their age doing things they could never imagine doing themselves.
I was honest with myself that singles was never my forte. I wasn't quick enough. I didn't have a singles brain: singles and doubles require very different skills. Everyone imagines two brilliant singles guys will make a good doubles pair. That's definitely not the case.
I've had many good singles players at my side but not all have impressed me. Doubles is about teamwork, craft, quick hands, agility and massive energy during and after points. You don't need impeccable technique or a 145mph serve. Todd Woodbridge and Johnny Mac never had massive serves but their ability coming forward made them champions on all surfaces.
I ended up with no national singles titles in my junior career but three national doubles titles. This was a sign of things to come. I decided that I wasn't good enough or financially stable enough to begin life on the tour. I chose instead to attend university in America – Louisiana State was my next destination. It was my home for five years. It was a unique and very enjoyable time in my life. College tennis was right up my street. Competing as a team was ideal. It involved singles and doubles matches but playing as a team suited me just fine.
My father, Ken Snr, was a semi-professional footballer before he became a police officer. He put me through my paces as a young footballer but it didn't last too long, as it was apparent from very early on that I didn't just have one left foot, I had two. My footballing dreams were quickly put to bed. Playing team sports appealed to me but once the footballing dream faded fast I just focused my attention on tennis.
I enjoyed success in the States and was proud of three particular achievements: being an NCAA national doubles finalist, being ranked No1 in the national doubles rankings, and graduating.
For those not familiar with the NCCA, it's the National Collegiate Athletic Association, and NCCA sport – college sport – is a massive deal in America.
I went to college to win the NCAA championships and I did everything in my power to achieve this. I eventually came up short, just, but it was against John Isner (currently at a career-high ranking inside the world's top 20 singles players) and his partner. He dominated college tennis during my time there, so I can't complain. My younger brother Neal attends LSU now. He is trying his best to break all the records I set and he is doing a fine job of it.
From university I made my decision to turn professional. I had an idea that my singles would go okay but I still aimed at being the best on the doubles court. I played singles for a year and I surprised myself: an ATP ranking of 527. This was as far as I would go.
I didn't feel like I was able to focus on anything specific while I was playing both disciplines. I made the decision that would change everything. I focused solely on doubles. I didn't mind as long as I was successful.
Quitting singles was the end of years of hard work but it took all of three minutes to come to terms with the decision. My life became a lot more purposeful from that day on and it was to my advantage.
In the fall of 2008 I came across a revived Colin Fleming. He was a Scot who had quit professional tennis at an early age to concentrate on his education. After a few months in the real world he returned to the court and I had the chance to team up with him. I was ranked around No290 at the time and he was ranked outside the top 1000. This was a big risk but I felt it was a decision that could change my life.
Colin had been ranked as high as No180 with Jamie Murray before he took time out. I snapped him up and we clicked right away. This is crucial in a partnership. The first few tournaments usually give you a good indication if it has potential. We opened up with 16 straight victories – four tournaments in a row and that included a Challenger. We achieved instant success and this continued through 2009; people began to notice around the grass court season.
At the Aegon Championships we were given a wild card. Queen's is one of the tournaments I used to watch as a kid. I liked imagining myself playing on Centre Court there; the grass is absolutely perfect, so perfect I'd happily get my putter out and practise my six-footers all day along the service line.
We knew what a good opportunity this was to show people what we were capable of. We dominated our first-round opponents and then it hit us. We were going to face my childhood heroes, the Bryan brothers: record-breaking, multi-Slam winning Titans of the doubles world.
This was nerve-wracking in itself but also the perfect moment to play the best match of your life. Colin and I took centre stage on that perfect lawn against the best doubles team, possibly of all time. Their intensity and energy was limitless. They've made a career out of their teamwork and high intensity. We expected a quick start from our opponents but you don't realise how quick until you're on the other side of the net.
My first service game took what seemed like two seconds, and within six minutes we trailed 3-0. We were being wiped. I sat down with Colin and we were silent, not knowing what to say or do. We needed to at least win a game and not make fools of ourselves. We hadn't come this far to look like idiots, as other Brits has done on the same court in years past.
Incredibly, we went on to play faultless tennis. I consider the break of serve at 3-1 to get back into the match as one of the best returning games we have or ever will play, mainly because Colin smashed three return winners to knock Bob and Mike for six.
The momentum shifted and we were on a roll. We didn't want to think. When you're in the zone, thinking about what is happening can always harm you. Nerves then kick in and you're back to playing average tennis. This didn't happen. It wasn't until we hugged after match point that we realized what we had achieved. It was a dream come true but also a realisation that beating the best pair in the world could mean the chance for more success at the highest level.
Colin and I lost in the next round having had three match points but it felt like a minor setback. We had made huge progress and the season was looking very optimistic.
'Flemski', as we're known to friends and fans began playing with massive confidence. We gained entry into our first ATP event in Metz, France. Dreams were starting to become achievable. The impossible was now very much possible. Colin and I are most dangerous on a fast indoor court. We progressed in Metz and found ourselves up against the local favourites and top seeds in the final. Again we were nervous but excited about the chance to win our first ATP title.
Llodra and Clement were our opponents. We were outplayed for almost an hour but it doesn't matter in doubles what happens at the start. It's only important what happens at the end of a match and the new super tie-break rule was very much working to our advantage. A quick, decisive tie-break is a great way to decide the outcome.
The crowd are more engaged in the action and using their energy is a must. On this day we did just that and took home our first ATP title; we added a second in St Petersburg, Russia shortly afterwards. Our coach, Louis Cayer, was a major part in our success: he's made it clear all along that we'll hit tough patches but our goals for 2010 are ambitious and we know we can achieve anything with the support we have.
Tennis has always been a major part of my life, but there is more to me and my life than tennis. Anyone following me on Twitter will know I have a fiancée, Hayley; we're getting married in April.
She understands tennis well enough now to respect my job and what it takes to be the best. It's tough being away from home so much every year. On the other hand, it's great to have her on tour with me from time to time. It's nice to turn off and get away from the sport and she does well to keep me grounded.
My parents, always supportive, are still a major influence.They have a dream to see their sons play at Wimbledon together. I'd love that too but I have lots to achieve with Colin before we try to make that dream a reality.
My passions outside of tennis are Liverpool football club, golf and '24'.
I cannot really talk too positively about LFC right now. I wish the nightmare would sort itself out and we can get back to challenging for the title. I don't see it happening any time soon but I have to be positive. Maybe in my next blog I'll have a better indication of what's happening behind the scenes at Anfield. Till then, YNWA!

Q: How to "increase" the number of x labels (dates) with ggplot2 in R I've used ggplot2 to plot some values on dates. By default, R chose 3 dates (always from January of several years) to label the x axis. So far so good.
I now want to "increase" the number of dates that are shown on the x axis but I have over 5000 observations so I can't do it manually. Do you have an idea of how to get like 6 dates or even better 6 certain dates shown on the x axes?
my.plot <-ggplot(data=data, aes(x=date, y=value, group=xyz, color=xyz)) +
  geom_line() +
  scale_x_date(date_labels = "%Y-%m")

Thank you very much in advance!

Mail-order Catalog, Charles William Stores Inc., New York City, 1918.
With less bulky clothing, sanitary aprons became a lucrative sideline of the feminine care industry. Women needed to keep blood from leaking napkins from staining their clothing, and the rubber-coated apron shielded their skirts. While sanitary aprons and other menstrual products were advertised as affordable, they could be too costly for poor women. Based on the prices in this ad from 1918, a travel kit like this, consisting of a sanitary apron, six sanitary napkins, and an elastic sanitary belt, cost 85 cents — approximately $13 in today's money.

When Kirk Gibson got revenge against the Goose
Dan Holmes
The 1984 World Series was a mismatch. The Detroit Tigers were a great team, a team that belongs among the greatest for any one season in baseball history. The San Diego Padres were a good team, but they couldn't hang with the Tigers, and they were pushed aside in five games.
In Game Five, San Diego reliever Goose Gossage was on then mound trying to stem a Detroit scoring opportunity. With first base open and runners on second and third, manager Dick Williams signaled for an intentional walk to Kirk Gibson. But Gossage had other ideas.
The video below (narrated by Tommy Lasorda), has sound from the dugout conversation between Detroit manager Sparky Anderson, coach Roger Craig, and Gibson. We also get to hear Gossage as he confidently sways Williams to let him pitch to Gibby.
It was a bad decision.
Dan is the author of three books on baseball. He previously worked at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and for Major League Baseball. He writes for several websites from his home near Lake Michigan.

The 2014 Camaro Z/28 laps the Nurburgring in 7:37.47 on a Rainy Day
The 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 has just set a blistering lap time at the Nurburgring Nordschleife, destroying Germany's Eifel mountains in 7:37.47. Let's stop for a moment and list out a few notables that are slower than this pushrod powered Camaro.
The $100,000 Porsche 911 Carerra S, $240,000 Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera and $400,000 Lexus LFA. The list goes on if you'd like but I'm not going to take the time type out all of the so-called "competitors" which the Z/28 obliterates. Are you listening BMW?
To date, only the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and the Dodge/SRT Viper have set faster marks under an American badge. Chevrolet says the Z/28 never needed more than 8 mins to complete a lap despite running into heavy traffic during the 1000+ miles of Nurburgring testing.
The most recent production car record at the track was set last month by the Porsche 918 Spyder, which made it around in a scant 6:57 — thanks to its 887 hp hybrid powertrain, 7-speed automatic transmission, all-wheel-drive and $845,000 price tag.
The Z/28 is a bit more traditional. This Camaro is powered by a 505 hp 7.0-liter V8 with the tried-and-true six-speed manual transmission. Perhaps the most technological bit on the 2014 Z/28 is the magnetically controlled suspension system.
The key to the Z/28's performance is weight saving. Chevrolet has re-worked the chassis, making it stiffer. They've stripped it of the heavy and arguably useless sound deadening material. The Z/28 also gets thinner glass and makes air conditioning an option only available if you mark the checkbox when ordering.
Pricing has not been announced, but the Z/28 is set to go on sale early in 2014.

I was pleasantly surprised by this card, i was expecting it to be cool and quiet and its surpassed my expectation, i can hardly even hear it under load in games, the highest temperature i have seen it reach is 54c and supper quiet.
The specifications for this card are 1114Mhz and boosting to 1253Mhz, mine actually boosts to 1354Mhz in games and Unigine Heave, Unigine Heave is where i got the highest temperature so far at 54c.
This right out of the box without doing anything to it, thats not to say everyone of them will do that, maybe i got lucky, but, again i can't stress this enough: it is very cool and very quiet.
The shroud is plastic, its not a high quality feel but that's not really that relevant, it sits in the case, not your hand and it does the job.
It would have been nice if it had a backplate.
5 stars easily, the lack of a backplate and the plastic shroud is indicative of its price, functionally its excellent.
And top marks for OcUK service, as always.
Amazing card. Very quiet, great airflow, power draw and temp are decent. Under load the 3 fans get a bit noisy but I don't really mind that and this can be reduced with a good case/sound pads. Not done full tests but out of the box this is a brilliant card that can max nearly all my games. Windforce make good cards (had their 660 GTX before this) and will definitely stick with them.
Witcher 3 Fraps results @ 1920x1080 fullscreen: 50-55fps (post processing HIGH, graphics HIGH), 40-43fps (post processing HIGH, graphics ULTRA). Looks brilliant.
Only one issue with my Gigabyte GA-X79-UD3 - after installing the 970 my PC hung on the BIOS screen... I used the @BIOS utility to update the BIOS and everything worked fine. It's also an issue on MSI boards, I think. In any case it's a quick fix and it's not the card that is at fault, it was my mobo. Simple BIOS update does the trick.


At Tuesday morning�s county commission meeting, Chairman Cheryl Sanders apologized for her use earlier this month of a word widely viewed as an ethnic slur.
At the July 2 county commission meeting, Sanders used the term �jewing� to characterize haggling and bickering among her colleagues surrounding raises for department heads in the context of hiring a new head of the road department..
This led to a firestorm of blogs, and even comment in the Washington Post and the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, on the political correctness of the phrase.
At Tuesday�s meeting, Sanders opened the meeting with the following statement.

Skier's Guide to Crested Butte Mountain Resort

BY: Sophie Goodman, November 21, 2017
"Colorado's Last Great Ski Town" is the real deal, with deep snow, terrain for all abilities, a busy ski school, five terrain parks, sunny days, and some of Colorado's best scenery. Crested Butte, four-to-five hours west of the Front Range cities, is remote compared to Summit County, so it's not unusual to have runs to yourself and no lift lines. We've put together a comprehensive skier's guide to Crested Butte Mountain Resort to help you explore this winter season. See you on the slopes!
What makes Crested Butte one of Colorado best-loved ski areas? It's the snow. An average of 300 inches of snow (that's 25 feet!) blankets the mountain every winter. Much of the white stuff is light powder—the best snow for skiing and snowboarding. You'll love plunging down Crested Butte's slopes on its 121 trails, which range from beginner to expert terrain. The mountain offers 1,547 skiable acres on the northern side of Crested Butte Mountain and a 2,775-foot vertical drop from the top of High Lift to the base. If you're an extreme skier, you can hike to the mountain summit and drop a stunning 3,062 feet on a 2.6-mile run down the Peak and Treasury Trails.
Varied Terrain for all Skiers
Crested Butte has the big reputation for extreme skiing. While the mountain offers 542 acres of in-bounds, double black diamond terrain for the expert, it's also a great area for beginner and intermediate skiers with 26% of the trails for beginners and 57% for intermediate skiers.

Fun Runs for Beginners
Beginner skiers and riders enjoy the wide, consistent runs off of the Red Lady Express Lift. Featuring mellow grades, open trails and the ability to explore, these runs are an excellent stepping stone for those who are new to the sport. Best runs include: Houston, Lower Twister, and Mineral Point.

Best Intermediate Terrain
The Paradise Express Lift, centrally located on the resort, offers countless options of long, intermediate cruisers and mellow bump runs. For intermediates looking to take the next step, head over to the East River Express Lift and the impeccably spaced trees of Gully Glades. East River is a popular spot due to its generally warmer temperatures and excellent snow conditions. Best runs include: Paradise Bowl, Rosebush Glades, and Black Eagle.

Your 'Steeps Guide'
The expert terrain, including almost 40 double black diamond runs, is the backbone of Crested Butte's signature ski slopes. Upper Crested Butte Mountain offers some of gnarliest terrain, with bowls, steep chutes, glades, and even mandatory jumps off cliffs. That's why Crested Butte is one of the best freeskiing areas in the United States and host to one of the longest-running freeskiing championships.
For a consistent challenge, the Silver Queen Express Lift and the Extreme Limits terrain is the perfect area to explore. Long, steep runs will exhaust your legs as you lap the frontside terrain underneath the Silver Queen Lift. The High Lift and North Face Lifts will elevate you to the top of the most challenging runs on the mountain. Best runs include: Banana, Spellbound Bowl, Teocalli Bowl, and International.
Best Après Ski Spots
Crested Butte has an awesome après ski scene, which means lots of options, but it also makes it hard to choose favorites. We've chosen two of the best après spots that we think you'll love.
Downtown Crested Butte: Montanya Distillers
Montanya Distillers is the preferred rum of Crested Butte Mountain Resort and their rums are handcrafted right in downtown Crested Butte. Montanya Distillers provides rum tastings and individual and group tours of its artisan rum distillery seven days a week. Learn about fermenting and distilling processes of rum and taste the locally made, award-winning rums from Montanya. To schedule a group tour in advance, please call (970) 799-3206 ext. 1. Otherwise, just stop by between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. and take a chance that they will be able to give you a tour if it's not too busy. If you don't want a tour, you can still sample the rums and enjoy the artisan rum cocktails, appetizers, and fun atmosphere of their location at 212 Elk Avenue.
Crested Butte Mountain Resort: Butte 66 Roadhouse & Grille
Located immediately off the slopes, just steps from the bottom of the Red Lady and Silver Queen Express lifts, Butte 66 serves handcrafted roadhouse-style BBQ, classic burgers, and a variety of casual fare, but they're really known for their milkshakes. These sweet treats can be enjoyed on their sundeck and ordered at regular or full strength for the 21 and over crowd.
The Lodge at Mountaineer Square is considered the "heart of the base area", and offers 95 luxurious multi-bedroom residences and 33 elegant hotel rooms, along with an après bar and indoor/outdoor pool. The Grand Lodge features the best pool and hot tub in the area and is the perfect location for families. Groups and families also love the Plaza Condominiums for its convenient location just 100 yards from the ski area's main lift, the Silver Queen. Spacious two- and three- bedroom suites include everything you need to be independent, while on-site check-in, a restaurant and bar, daily housekeeping services, covered parking, and two hot tubs provide all the benefits of a hotel.
The Umbrella Bar at Ten Peaks
The views at the Umbrella Bar will not disappoint: Look just beyond the immediate powder stashes and perfectly groomed runs, and you'll see the awe inspiring peaks of the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness, Collegiate Peaks Wilderness, and West Elk Mountain Range. Located at the top of the Painter Boy Lift and featuring an eclectic blend of European and local cuisines, a 35-foot retractable umbrella roof, plenty of on-snow Adirondack chair seating and exceptional views, the Umbrella Bar is more gathering spot than grab-and-go outlet. Whether it is for lunch or a drink, the Umbrella Bar is a mandatory stop for all skiers and riders.
The WoodStone Grille
The WoodStone Grille has what you need to fuel your day on the mountain. From huge pancakes and fresh made omelets for breakfast, to jalapeño peanut butter poppers, signature pasta and made to order fire-baked pizzas, the WoodStone Grille menu has something for everyone. Come play billiards, or watch the game and enjoy a microbrew with an appetizer.

New Trailers: The Many Saints of Newark, Foundation, Beckett, and more
The Good Fight returned to its very weird and funny roots this week and introduced Mandy Patinkin as a — let's say "unconventional" judge, and it's as if my favorite character from Homeland got a new job. I know everyone is probably maxed out on how many streaming channels they can/want to subscribe to, but The Good Fight is reason enough to at least check out Paramount Plus. And I have no idea what's going to happen on the next episode of Loki but (mild spoiler ahead!) I can't imagine the two characters who got pruned will stay pruned.
This week we finally get a first look at the prequel to The Sopranos and a new look at the new Masters of the Universe show.
The Many Saints of Newark
In this prequel to The Sopranos, Michael Gandolfini plays Tony Soprano, the iconic role that won his father James multiple awards. Michael is a young Tony in what director Alan Taylor says is the story of Dickie Moltisanti (Alessandro Nivola)— father of The Sopranos' Christopher— the man who made Tony into who he became. We get a glimpse of Vera Farmiga as Livia, who looks like she plays the matriarch as ice cold as the late, great Nancy Marchand did. Leslie Odom Jr., Jon Bernthal, Corey Stoll, and Ray Liotta also star in The Many Saints of Newark, which comes to theaters and HBO Max October 1st.
An American tourist vacationing in Greece gets into a car accident, and when he wakes up, he's embroiled in a conspiracy and people are shooting at him. Mr. Beckett does not appear to have the same skill set as Jason Bourne, however, which will probably make things a bit more difficult as he tries to figure out what the hell is going on and attempts to get to the US Embassy. John David Washington and Alicia Vikander star in Beckett, which hits Netflix August 13th.
The second teaser trailer for Foundation finally gives us a release date for this long-awaited series based on the Isaac Asimov novels. The downfall of the Galactic Empire has been predicted by Hari Seldon (Jared Harris), so it has to build a foundation to preserve mankind's knowledge. Along with Harris, Lee Pace stars as Brother Day, and Lou Llobell as Gaal Dornick. Foundation premieres September 24th on Apple TV Plus, with new episodes every Friday.
Masters of the Universe: Revelation Part 1
We got a teaser of the Kevin Smith revival of He-Man's adventures in June, and now we get the full trailer. It's not a retelling of the He-Man story, but rather picks up where the original TV show concluded in 1985. Chris Wood, Mark Hamill, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Lena Headley, and Mark Hamill (as Skeletor) voice characters in Masters of the Universe, which debuts on Netflix July 23rd.
This trailer has Kate Beckinsale kicking things and beating people up but she isn't a vampire; instead she has a rare disorder that makes her rage out if she doesn't get regular shock treatments from Stanley Tucci. Naturally she meets a guy who doesn't freak out at her shocking condition (sorry) and of course he gets killed and the cops think she did it so then she has to do some revenge-kicking. Bobby Cannavale, Jai Courtney, Laverne Cox, and Susan Sarandon also star in Jolt which comes to Amazon Prime Video July 23rd.

Q: Use another columns entry, when only knowing entry in another column in the same row, in one combined script There's an issue in our software which sometimes requires a row to be deleted from a table, but this has links to other tables that's also need to be deleted, so I wanted to write a script to be able to delete all of these at one.
The issue I'm having is that I want these all in one script, but I only know the PC Name, which is referenced in only 1 table, so I cant to use another value in that row that's the same throughout.
| CabID | CabName |
| 7     | PC25    |

So I know the 'CabName', and want to enter this in the script but then replace '#' with CabID'
First part I have is
SELECT *
FROM Cabinets
WHERE CabName= 'PC25'

Then
DELETE FROM Room_Cab_Assoc
WHERE CabID= '#',

DELETE FROM PatientCabAssignment
WHERE CabID= '#',

DELETE FROM BinAssignments
WHERE CabID= '#',

DELETE FROM Drawers
WHERE CabID= '#',

DELETE FROM FeatureLogins
WHERE CabID= '#',

DELETE FROM Cabinets
WHERE CabID= '#';

Or is there a better way of doing this?

Q: working on search queries in R I'm new to R, but try to analyze dataset
Here is the original link https://cache-default03g.cdn.yandex.net/download.yandex.ru/company/jobs/test_data_dreams.txt
My code is (I use R Studio 0.99.903 & R 3.3.1)
# get the data from url
    url <- "https://cache-     default03g.cdn.yandex.net/download.yandex.ru/company/jobs/test_data_dreams.txt"
    testdata <-read.table(url, header = T, sep="\t")
    #install packages for text mining to analyze the queries
    install.packages("slam")
    install.packages("tm")
    library(tm)
    #convert unix to GMT
    testdata$timestamp..unix. <-        as.POSIXct(as.numeric(as.character(testdata$timestamp..unix.)),origin="1970-01-01",tz="GMT")
    #delete some words
    testdata$query <- gsub("к чему снится ", "\\1", testdata$query)
    testdata$query <- gsub("к чему сниться ", "\\1", testdata$query)
    testdata$query <- gsub(" к чему снится", "\\1", testdata$query)
    testdata$query <- gsub(" к чему сниться", "\\1", testdata$query)
    testdata$query <- gsub("снится ", "\\1", testdata$query)
    testdata$query <- gsub(" к чему", "\\1", testdata$query)'

Now my data frame looks this way.
> head(testdata)
         timestamp..unix.                          query         city
     1 2016-02-04 10:15:13         волна вынесла на берег       Москва
     2 2016-02-24 10:28:53             бегать наперегонки Екатеринбург
     3 2016-02-07 15:31:51 свадьба мужчине со своей женой  Владикавказ
     4 2016-02-05 08:06:24             иголка медицинская       Тамбов
     5 2016-02-16 15:21:16                давняя знакомая  Калининград
     6 2016-02-27 03:38:46        белый маленький котенок  Новосибирск
Now I'm trying to plot queries to see their distribution during the daytime (also during the month) in general and for each city I have.
Could you please help me with the tool I should pick to read days and hours separately and plot not the query itself, but just the distribution of queries.
Thanks!

A: You can use lubridate package, it is quite easy to extract days and hours from your dates and then to make a test on them. For example :
 # Add a column for day
df$day <- day(df$timestampcol)

# Add a column for the hour
df$hour <- hour(df$timestampcol)

For the plot I recommend you ggplot2 package, and here you will find a example plotting time series.


The Birmingham team will give you the classroom foundations you need to effectively teach English as a foreign language on either a 1 or 2 day classroom course.
The TEFL course in Birmingham is taught by a tutor with at least three years' experience teaching English overseas, so you're in the hands of an expert who will be able to answer any questions you have. The internationally recognised i-to-i TEFL courses in Birmingham introduce you to the most up-to-date teaching methods, as well as key topics such as classroom management and how to teach English grammar.
The course is delivered in a fun and interactive way, not the dreary lecture that many might imagine. i-to-i have trained over 182,000 people to TEFL, who've gone off to teach all over the world and many of them started just as you will, with the i-to-i TEFL course in Birmingham.
The nearest train station is Birmingham New Street and it is a five minute walk from the hotel, which is clearly sign-posted.
What time does the weekend course run from and 'til?
The hours of the course are as follows: Saturday – 09:00-18:00 Sunday – 09:00-18:00 When you arrive at the hotel you should go to the reception and a member of staff will direct them to the meeting room where the TEFL course is taking place.
Do we get tea/coffee/lunch breaks?
Yes, you will get two short breaks and a lunch break on the Saturday, and one short break and a lunch break on the Sunday. In the small breaks you will get complimentary tea, coffee and water.
The hotel is in the middle of Chinatown with plenty of restaurants/sandwich shops around and it's also only a couple of minutes' walk from the Bullring shopping centre where there are also a large number of options.
No, we just advise that you wear something you are comfortable in and that you could imagine yourself wearing in a classroom situation.


The M.A. in Data Protection and Privacy Law is jointly delivered with the DCU School of Government and Law and offers a choice of two streams (computing or law), based on the prior experience of candidates. It is designed to equip graduates with interdisciplinary training in data protection and privacy. It will give them the legal and technological knowledge necessary to become experts in this increasingly important field. The computing stream will enable them to design, produce and configure high quality systems that deliver solutions to the economy in the fields of data processing, data governance, regulation, audit and digital business.
Exposed to the latest best practice and research at the intersection of law and technology, students will develop a systematic understanding of the rights, responsibilities, pitfalls and appropriate technological solutions required under GDPR and European data protection law. The importance of a developed awareness of professional responsibilities and ethics required is also emphasised.
Graduates from the programme will be well positioned to advance their careers in a rapidly expanding industry.
The strong interdisciplinary focus of the programme ensures that all students will complete a mix of law and computing modules supplemented by a final dissertation (law stream) or practicum (computing stream) project, carried out over the summer months. Typically, computing stream students will develop a prototype software system in the privacy or data protection area that targets a real-world problem. They may also analyse processes or techniques, and propose and evaluate alternatives.
A detailed understanding of privacy rights and a detailed knowledge of the GDPR and European data protection law.
An understanding of how data governance and data processing technology plays a central role in ensuring the protection of digital privacy.
Cross-discipline training in the discipline outside your stream, so computing stream students will receive a foundation in law and vice versa.
Advanced writing, critical evaluation and analysis skills.
Development of strong team-based skills, developed through significant project work during the course.
Enhanced communication skills through scheduled presentations to lecturers and peers.
Development of research skills to enable contribution of novel ideas, methods and tools to new challenges in their professional careers.
This M.A. degree has a common core of modules taken by all students but depending on their background they must apply for entry into two specialised streams that provide additional supports. The structure of the degree will be such that it will be accessible to persons with a background in either law or computing. The core modules are designed to be accessible to all students. Entrance on to either the law or computing stream will be dependent upon existing education and will serve to provide specialised interdisciplinary supports and will limit the advanced optional modules taken.
The computing stream is for entrants with a prior background in computer science or information technology. It provides students with interdisciplinary knowledge in E.U. data protection law, data governance, information access, ethics, research skills and features a software-focused practicum for the final project. In addition it provides cross training in legal fundamentals and the option to take advanced courses in international priority areas such as cloud architecture, data management, visualisation and analytics. The programme gives students the flexibility to select additional law options, for example in comparative privacy law to get an understanding of law in other important jurisdictions such as the USA for working with multinational corporations.
The law stream is for entrants with a prior background in law or a related discipline. It provides student with interdisciplinary knowledge in E.U. data protection law, data governance, information access, ethics, research skills and features a legal research-focused dissertation for the final project. In addition it provides cross training in ICT fundamentals and the option to take advanced courses in comparative privacy law , EU institutional law, European and international human rights law or contemporary legal issues in commercial practice.


Our production process makes use of compression – transfer presses. The variety of our machines allows us to produce a large range of products with dimensions which vary from a few millimetres up to a metre in diameter, produced at a single pressing. For larger articles, we carry out pressing of partial sections which are then joined cold or hot.
With the wide range of elastomer choice, we are able to use blends with the different elastomer bases, which allow for a wide range of satisfaction of physical-mechanical characteristics. Our laboratory, in concert with the certified Quality Management System, allows us to carry out careful trials and, where necessary, the related certification of the production lots.
The variety of the production range includes, in addition to articles in rubber, those with rubber/metal connectors (e.g.: wheels, rollers, vibration dampers, etc.) and those composites in rubber/plastic materials such as PTFE. Lastly, we are able to prepare any type of pressing and production equipment, taking on the design, production and experimenting of the same.

Fort Wayne TinCaps To Honor Esurance Rising Star Students Program Winner During On-Field Ceremony
Here is a link to the original story on the team's website.
FORT WAYNE, Ind. –The Fort Wayne TinCaps, Esurance and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Indiana will recognize Addam Ray, a local high school senior and one of 14 Esurance Rising Star Students program winners, during a pregame presentation at Friday's game versus the Dayton Dragons. The Esurance Rising Star Students program, which highlights and celebrates Big Brothers Big Sisters of America (BBBSA) participants for their outstanding service to their local communities, awards select high school students a $5,000 college stipend each, courtesy of Esurance.
Ray plans to attend Ivy Tech and become a computer programmer. He aspires to start his own company and use it as a platform for doing good in the world. Addam credits his "Big" from Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Indiana for "showing him right from wrong, good from bad, laugh in the good times, and talk in the bad times."
The Esurance Rising Star Students program submissions included unique and inspirational stories, academic accolades, college and career plans and more, emphasizing why each individual was a
"Rising Star" in his or her community. To be eligible, nominees were required to be "Bigs" or "Littles" in Big Brothers Big Sisters.
"With the help of Esurance and Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, we can recognize a Rising Star Student in our community getting ready for his or her own call-up to college, and honor the student with a unique ballpark celebration," said Mike Nutter, President of the Fort Wayne TinCaps.
Last June, Esurance and Minor League Baseball announced a multi-year partnership making it the exclusive home and auto insurance partner of Minor League Baseball. Together, they created the Esurance Call-Up Worthy platform, which launched exclusively on MiLB.com and MiLB team websites. The platform celebrates the iconic moment in Minor League Baseball when a player is called up to Major League Baseball®, highlighting his journey through shareable digital and social content, such as virtual trading cards, video highlights and the Esurance Farm Report.
