I've had really, really good luck with Pixi Skintreats products in the past - the Pixi x Caroline Hirons Double Cleanse continues to be a favorite in my collection - and I've been wanting to try more for ages but just hadn't gotten around to it until this holiday season brought some sets to my local Shoppers Drug Mart. I'd been hearing a ton recently about the Pixi Rose Flash Balm, so when I saw the Pixi Skintreats Multi-Masking Medley contained that product along with two others, I was sold and I picked it up to try out.
Keep reading to see how these products worked out for me!
Discover our 3 treatment masks to brighten, re-hydrate & minimize pores.
• T-Zone Peel Off Mask is a detoxifying peel-off mask draws out impurities and lifts away oil to reveal immediate results.
One thing that I really love about this set is how truly different each of these three masks is in both what it does and how you use it. I felt like it gave me a good chance to try out three very different products from the brand and see what really worked for my personal skin care needs - and I have to say, I was a little bit surprised by the results!
I really, really love a mud mask, so I was really excited to try this. The first time I applied it, I was really surprised at how little product I needed to use to get full coverage over my face. It smooths onto the skin really easily (I use a flat foundation brush to apply all of my masks) and applies to a really even thickness over the skin without any gloopiness. Upon application and while I wear it, there's a slight tingly cooling feeling on the skin, but it isn't one that is at all unpleasant. The last time I applied this (last night), I found myself really paying attention to the scent, which I likened to a hippie's house in this very best way. I'm terrible at describing scents, but I will say it's a really lovely one and as I lay in the bathtub with this on my face it gave me a very serene, spa like feeling.
When it comes to ingredients, I feel like this is formulated really brilliantly with both purifying and hydrating ingredients that really work. Dead Sea Mud and Kaolin make this mask one of those ones that is delightfully gross in the way that you can literally see it pulling gunk out of your pores as it dries, while Aloe Vera, Glycerin, Squalane and Jojoba Oil work at balancing and hydrating the skin. When I rinse this off, my skin feels really clean and fresh without feeling stripped or dried out like some other masks. In the past, I've had to apply a facial oil before applying a mud or clay mask, but with this one that step is entirely unnecessary.
I'm kind of in love with this mask and have every intention of picking up a full size as soon as I work through some of the other similar masks in my collection. I feel like this could be a PMS skin savior - and that's really when I need a mud mask to help my skin look and feel its best.
This is definitely the product that I was most excited to try since I've seen so many other people in the beauty community that I trust raving about it as a primer step before make up. This is a 3-in-1 product that can be used as a primer, moisturizer or mask for an instant skin boost. In the past, I've tended not to pick up rose scented products because I don't tend to be a fan, but the light rose scent of this doesn't feel like an old lady type of rose and I find a really actually quite enjoy it. The texture of this balm is quite rich, but it does sink into the skin quickly and doesn't feel heavy.
At this time of year, when the cold has really hit, the house is dry, and my skin is not at its happiest, I need all of the boost that I can get. Admittedly, I didn't try this out as a mask (mostly because this is a small bottle and I wanted to hoard it) but I have used it both as a moisturizer during my night time routine as well as a primer before makeup. As a moisturizer, I think it's nice but doesn't quite pack the level of hydration that I personally need at this time of year. It would likely be a great option for someone with a more combination to oily skin type.
Where this shines for me is definitely as a primer under more matte finish foundations, which at this time of year I tend to avoid like the plague because they tend to really make my skin look like the desert. When applied over this, pressing the foundation in with a sponge so that I don't disrupt the primer and get patchy, this really helps those matte foundations to apply smoothly and keeps my skin looking a little bit more plump and healthy.
I have to say, this isn't the hero product for me that it is for a lot of other people, but I do think it's really lovely and would definitely consider picking up a full size in the future.
I'm going to say straight off the bat that peel off masks are not really my thing. Every couple of years I go back and try one, remembering when I was a kid and loved the idea of using a peel off mask like a very fancy lady, and it never really works out for me. I wanted to put that out there, because I feel like it definitely informs my feelings about this mask.
One thing I've learned while testing out this mask is that you definitely have to follow the instructions and apply a fairly thick layer to the skin for this to have a good peel. The first time I used this mask, I applied it quite thinly and the peel was a little bit infuriating. After that, though, I went in with a heavier hand and it worked out much better. Initially, this mask did feel a little bit tingly, but not uncomfortable, and as it dried down the tingle went away and I didn't notice much scent coming from the mask. As it dries, it does get fairly tight on the skin, but I didn't find it uncomfortable at all. Like I said, you definitely need a thicker layer to get a good peel from this and I found that when I did, it peeled really easily in a large pieces and without any discomfort.
What makes me actually want to keep using this mask is how much skin felt afterward - I can't remember a time when a mask left my skin feeling so soft and looking so smooth. It was actually kind of amazing. Like I said, I'm not a peel-off mask kind of person generally, so I don't know if this is the norm, but what this did for my skin was absolutely incredible.
I'm really, really glad that I decided to pick up this set. I feel like I would have really missed out on a couple of amazing masking options if I had just picked up the Rose Flash Balm, and that would have been a shame because the masks are actually my favorite part of this set. Admittedly, I know myself well enough to know that I'm personally unlikely to reach for a peel-off mask very often, so it's unlikely that I'll buy a full size of the T-Zone Peel-Off Mask, but I absolutely see myself buying a full size Glow Mud Mask sooner than later because it's just that good. For me, the Rose Flash Balm is a good, solid product, but not one that I'll personally be raving about and recommending to everyone I know. It's good, it really is, but I feel like my expectations might have been a little too high for this to shine.
If you're interested in trying out Pixi Skintreats, I'd recommend the Rose Flash Balm if you're looking for a hydrating primer option, the Glow Mud Mask if you deal with clogged pores and breakouts, and the T-Zone Peel Off Mask if you want to smooth and brighten the skin and you're into that sort of thing. Overall, Pixi is continuing to impress me with everything I've tried so far.
Pixi products are available in Canada at Shoppers Drug Mart! Though you might be able to find this set lingering around there, it was a holiday release so you might have to go for the full size of these products if they interest you.

Even AR had this problem. He developed the S & A characters in his head and his books, then when he went to visit the Altounyans in Syria, he experienced a terrible clash of fiction and reality which led to a falling out with the family. This is a problem, particularly with children who grow and change so fast, but also with friends who are separated for long periods of time. We have to be prepared to renew the friendship.

Apple Everywhere, Where Next?
March 29, 2011 Janet Tokerud	Leave a comment
I follow Apple closely every day. I own multiple Macs, an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2. The biggest chunk of my income comes from building software and custom systems with FileMaker Pro – also owned by Apple. I was pretty thrilled last July when FileMaker announced FileMaker Go for iPhone and iPad. The latest upgrade to my Studio Manager product supports iPhone and iPad access.
The second biggest chunk of income comes from advising and consulting with my Mac clients on technology decisions. Apple is my home team. I've been writing about Apple since System 7 came out in the early nineties. Here's what's going on now:
1. iPad 2. The iPad 2 and enormous success of the first iPad last year is the biggest thing. The iPad is the third big industry-changing new device after the iPod and iPhone. This triple play puts Apple in the catbird seat in the technology scene. They are making truckloads of revenues and profits and their biggest problem is figuring out what to do with all the cash they are accumulating.
I love the iPad and and am on cloud 9 with the new thinner, lighter and faster iPad 2. The iPad is such an easy device to use. iPhone delivered the wonders of multi-touch in an exquisite little package. iPad raises the ante by expanding the screen to handle most digital documents at full size and doesn't do half bad with video. There's plenty of room for controls and content.
Apple is building for the future though. Things we are used to like USB and the Finder aren't in iOS. Apple views the iPad as a game changer. They are reinventing the PC and are very serious about it. Expect to see better replacements for these standards as they get completed to the satisfaction of Steve Jobs. Apple made a judgement call on how far they could get us to stretch into new territory with the iPhone (no copy and paste?) and now with the iPad. They gave us all sorts of inducements to make the missing pieces worth waiting for. See more on this in yesterday's post Have iPad, Will Travel on my Independent Knowledge Professional blog.
You may want to get an iPad just so you can start the new multi-touch *pad* learning curve. Gestures are in and they are being phased in over time. It helps to get on board so that you don't have to learn 15 gestures all at once 2 years from now. There are rumors of a possible, more cloud-based iPad 3 this Fall. I'm so happy with iPad 2 that I don't care one way or the other. But, of course, you would probably find me waiting in line then too. Apple hasn't disappointed me for quite a few years now.
2. iPhone 4 and 5. Apple finally delivered a Verizon iPhone in February. The iPhone 4 is a killer device with its absolutely gorgeous 960 x 640 pixel screen. The early hubbub about the antenna had little to no negative impact on this juggernaut. However, the iPhone 5 may not be released in June. In fact, it seems pretty clear that an Autumn release is the earliest we can expect. I guess Apple isn't done yet with whatever they are cooking up. So far we are hearing more cloud-based, a very powerful voice control component based on Apple's acquisition of Siri. Apparently Apple wants to keep ahead of the pack so expect more on this next iPhone. By the way, the iPod touch should continue to gain iPhone features as time goes on and be an incredible wi-fi-only device. As free wi-fi spreads further, which it has been doing quite nicely lately at places like Starbucks, Peet's and even MacDonalds, the iPod touch increases its value.
3. OS X Lion is nearing completion. We've already seen a preview and it will be morphing closer to iOS, taking on various inventions there. More gesture-based. An app store already out. A bunch of little icons on the home screen too. And more. The Mac and OS X look to be in a great position to continue their long upward climb in marketshare. It's getting to the point where some people are starting to think that adopting the Mac platform is a step on the way to the future rather than a step off the path onto a niche OS. Many are saying Microsoft's days in the sun are numbered. I think OS X and Mac will continue to grow. That's all that matters from my perspective. If the PC platform is plateauing and Mobile and Cloud are ascending, it may not matter too much which way that goes.
All these three initiatives are selling like hotcakes. Apple's massive multi-billion dollar server farm facility in North Carolina may be completed this Spring. Rumors of a new, much-improved MobileMe are afoot. Rumors of iPhones and iPads that depend more and integrate with an Apple Cloud are gaining traction.
There used to be a solitary Macintosh platform that worked pretty well with Windows. Now we have a different ball game with the two new iOS offerings on iPhone and iPad. I think it is clear there is room between the Mac and iPhone and that spot is being forged with great promise with the iPad and now the iPad 2. You need to be thinking in terms of all three working together. Apps need to be purchased in that context in many cases. Prefer the App that can interoperate all else being equal.
I didn't mention the continuing success of Apple stores. The 4 in China have proven exceptional. It seems that retail presence is one of Apple's strategic advantages vis a vis Amazon, Google and Microsoft.
And what about the livingroom and Apple TV? That's still a hobby as Steve calls it. Apple is probably going to find a way there as well. The latest moves look like they may hold promise. Things like Apple TV 2.0, iPad 2 mirroring to HDTV, home sharing and streaming between iDevices, Macs and Apple TV 2 look good. There are serious obstacles on this front. Google TV ran straight into them in the Fall. Sooner or later things will open up here or a mitigation of differences will be struck between Cable and Digital. Don't hold your breath but keep an eye out.

State of Apple – July 2009
July 16, 2009 Janet Tokerud	Leave a comment
I see AAPL is at about $147 per share today. Not too shabby for a deep recession. Steve Jobs is back at the helm after a successful liver transplant! That was a surprise for everyone but seems to have come out for the better. I'm relieved and hope to see him live a long life. He's only 54 after all.
While Steve was on a leave of absence, the Apple machine showed no signs of distress. Perhaps this is because, Steve remained involved on major decisions and he's hired an amazing team to carry out Apple's groundbreaking initiatives.
The new iPhone 3GS is looking to be a big success. I absolutely love mine. The improved camera hardware and software was worth waiting for. I don't feel bad leaving my point-and-shoot at home anymore. The increased speed and extra memory mean you can flip between web pages and apps without a pause in the action. Voice control and the new compass add even more to the package. Don't get me started on iPhone OS 3.0 which works on all iPhones and iPod touches. Did I mention the App store?
The Amazing new Macbook Pro 13″ was a wonderful surprise. Starting at $1199, this Mac can't be beat. And they gave us back the Firewire they took away when the unibody MacBook was released last October. Plus much increased battery life and a better screen. If I weren't in love with my MacBook Air, I would have run to the Apple store for this one.
In spite of some credible initial efforts from the Blackberry, Android and now Palm, Apple seems close to attaining the crown in the Smartphone space. That's not bad after only 24 months in the market. Keep in mind that mobile is the next computing platform.
We have Snow Leopard and new iPods coming in September. Rumors of a mini-tablet in October tantalize. Really glad to have these amazing technology treats to look forward to in these challenging times.

State of Apple – April 09

It's about time for an Apple update. The Expo is well behind us now and new Macs have been recently released. We know that iPhone 3.0 will be out by July. Here are the recent high points and things to look forward to.
The Return of Steve Jobs? At Apple's Annual Meeting on Feb 25th, spokes people seemed to hint that Steve was returning and was in communication on a regular basis with Apple's board and key execs.
My take is that Steve's health situation is serious enough that we can't count on him to fully recover. In fact, he may not make it. But, he can afford the best medical care and is making his health priority one. He has a lot to live for. If his health is good at all, he'll be champing at the bit to get back full-time to Apple. I sure hope he comes back soon.
iPhone Update. The iPhone is still unrivaled and is moving smartly towards a dominant position in the mobile market. All I know is that:
There are iPhones everywhere I go.
There are bajillions of iPhone apps and some of them are quite good like Tweetie, Evernote, Fieldrunner and Todo.
Apple keeps improving it – they are finally releasing cut-copy-paste.
I love my iPhone. A new, faster, more capacious (32gb) iPhone with a better camera is rumored for release in June or July.
Here's the competition in order of strength: Blackberry, Palm Pre, Google's Android phones like the G1, Nokia, Windows Mobile phones. Palm Pre looks hot but pre-release, so Palm has a lot to prove. The Blackberry Storm, released in November, was a disappointment. The first Android phone, the G1, is OK but development of the platform has been disappointing to observers like engadget and gdgt. Nokia's Symbian platform lags technically even though Nokia dominates the smartphone market.
Mac Update. Yay for the upgrade of the Mac mini. The updates of the iMac and Mac Pro were good but mostly speed bumps with decent pricing. A lot of people hoped for even lower prices to suit the economy but that didn't happen. I look at that as a sign of strength on Apple's part.
New iPod Shuffle. I do like the new iPod Shuffle, by the way. What I like is the introduction of additional functionality via voice feedback. This innovation opens up a whole new avenue for gadget-human interaction. I hear it is well-implemented too. Multiple playlists are now supported.
Rumors of a mini-tablet or 10-inch notebook. I vote for the mini-tablet but since it is a new form factor am afraid the odds favor a smaller version of the macbook air that somehow manages to be cheaper. Not sure that is possible. Maybe it will be more like a small version of the Macbook. What I want is something the size and weight of the Kindle for $800 or less — hopefully less. Rumors have it that a device like this might possibly appear between August and October. Or maybe a netbooklike device will come out. I'm happy with my full-sized Macbook Air, so am not netbook-inclined.

State of Apple — August 2008
August 7, 2008 Janet Tokerud	Leave a comment
iPhone 3G + App Store + Booming Mac Sales. Despite turbulence at the simultaneous launch of the iPhone 3G, App store, iPhone 2.0 and MobileMe, Apple is going gangbusters.
But, the number of problems occurring in recent weeks may be a new record for Apple.
A lot of people (including me) believe that Apple was getting overconfident. They started believing they were infallible. Now they know better.
On the bright side, though, Apple is disrupting and raising the bar in the industries they've chosen to participate in. They are making a difference that I and many others appreciate. Ultimately, I attribute the innovation Apple has achieved to: opportunity, vision, people and passion.
In the late 90's, after Steve Jobs came back, Apple started a concerted effort to gain marketshare for the Mac. This wasn't easy but they attacked the problem with relentless gusto and creativity. Steve assessed his competition (Microsoft) as formidable due to extreme marketshare dominance. But, he saw a long-term opportunity when comparing the technical potential of OS X vs. Windows.
Jobs bet on Apple's technology, team, vision and design sense. The least that could be achieved was survival as the BMW to Microsoft's Ford.
The massive undertaking of launching and realizing the potential of OS X was carried out successfully. The iPod, a whole new product initiative, was orchestrated to great success and segment dominance. Apple's success with the iPod gave them the wherewithal to try an even more ambitous project: the iPhone.
It took three years to bring iPhone to market. In the meantime, Apple pulled off a complete switch to Intel processors from the PowerPC chip architecture. Steve said Apple needed Intel's planned low-powered chips to drive growth in smaller computer devices. We are still seeing the fruits of this transition.
The MacBook Air is an example of a smaller device that uses Intel's low-power chips. Lots of people are hoping for a tablet Mac or a large iPod touch in the next year. This seems likely now as other smaller devices are gaining some traction. The EEE PC, Nokia's N810 and the PSP all may be carving out a spot for better devices made by Apple.
Right now, the iPhone has center stage and looks poised to radically alter the cell phone industry as we've come to know it. Leading tech pundit, Walt Mossberg, has taken to calling the cell phone, the device formerly known as the cell phone. The phone part of the iPhone is the tip of the iceberg.
Apple announced in March that it will begin a campaign to sell the iPhone into corporations, supporting Exchange and addressing the issues corporate IT deem deal-breakers. The App store introduced in July with over 1300 applications at last count seems to make the iPhone into a platform. The battle for dominant mobile platform is not over, but Apple currently occupies the front-runner slot.
Lastly, Macs are selling 3 times faster than PCs these days. Apple is taking PC marketshare quarter by quarter. There's more to say but you get the idea. I've got some gripes with the stability of iPhone 2.0 software and MobileMe, but I'll get over it and those problems will be addressed. Meanwhile, I'm absolutely in love with the App store.

Home News & Analysis Norwegian SWF plots first Asian deals
Norwegian SWF plots first Asian deals
Having built up a $10 billion property portfolio from investments in Europe and the US, Norway's $860 billion sovereign wealth fund now has its sights on Asia.
Jonathan Brasse
Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM), the steward of Norway's $860 billion sovereign wealth fund, is planning to make its first investments in Asia.
Karsten Kallevig, NBIM's head of real estate and a former Asia-based senior executive at private equity real estate firm Grove International Partners, told news service Bloomberg that it would narrow its focus to two cities in the region "with best growth potential and where there are supply constraints".
The cities have not yet been chosen, NBIM told PERE. However, PERE learned earlier this year that NBIM had sent representatives to Asia to assess potential acquisitions and that included a visit to Tokyo.
Nonetheless, NBIM said there was no staff currently dedicated to Asian real estate and that the strategy was yet to be finalized.
In his interview with Bloomberg, Kallevig said the fund would however be invested in mainstream property types like offices and logistics rather than alternative property types like hotels and restaurants.
NBIM, which since being permitted by the Norwegian government to invest up to 5 percent of the fund in property in 2010, first invested heavily in mature markets in Europe, in cities including London and Paris.
Last year, it extended its investment mandate to include US cities. In total, it has acquired a portfolio valued at $10 billion, reflecting 1.2 percent of the fund's total assets.
Thus far, these assets have performed far better than the fund requires and have also beaten the IPD benchmark, a commonly-used barometer for assessing real estate performance. While the fund is required to make 4 percent a year across asset classes, NBIM's property investments actually returned 11.8 percent in 2013, versus the IPD average in the year of 8.3 percent.

Top 10 Best Pharmaceutical Companies in India
Published on: January 2, 2019 by Things in India
India is home to whopping 24,000 pharma companies. Of these, only about 250, including multinational companies (MNCs) come within the organized sector
Pharmaceutical companies in India are projected to register a growth of nearly 16 percent in 2018- or US$ 28 billion.
By the year 2020, the pharmaceuticals industry of India will be worth US$ 55 billion, growing to US$ 100 billion by 2025, according to separate reports compiled by India Brand Equity Foundation and Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India.
India is the world's largest producer of generic medicines.
Further, over 80 percent of Anti Retroviral (ARV) medicines used to treat Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) patients worldwide is exported from India.
Exports of Indian made medicines is expected to cross the US$ 20 billion mark by 2021 from the existing US$ 16.5 billion, these reports add.
Current Scenario of Pharmaceutical Companies in India:
The nearly 250 Pharma companies operating in India account for over 70 percent of the market share. About 8,000 Small Scale Industries that produce pharmaceuticals also flourish in India.
They mainly supply Over-The-Counter (OTC) medicines used to treat common and nonlife-threatening conditions such as an ordinary headache, common colds, cough, and influenza.
Some o these SSIs manufacture under the loan-license system for larger medical companies.
India has the world's second-largest number of Abbreviated New Drug Applications (ANDAs) and is the world's leader in Drug Master Files (DMFs) applications with the US, according to the Assocham study.
In this article, we glance at the top 10 purely homegrown pharma companies in India that are driving healthcare in this country and exporting superior quality medicines abroad.
Top 10 Pharma Companies in India 2019:
1) Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd
Sun Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd (SIPL) is India's largest pharma company, the biggest Indian company to operate in the US and the third largest speciality generic medicines company worldwide.
SIPL traces its humble roots to 1983 when the company launched five psychiatry products that were marketed by a two-member team. By 1987, SIPL's products were popular across India.
In 2014, SIPL acquired Indian medical giant, Ranbaxy Laboratories Ltd and became the biggest pharmaceutical company in India. In June 2017, the company had a market capitalization of Rs.1.55 trillion.
2) Lupin Ltd
Reporting market capitalization of Rs.680.31 billion is the second largest Pharma company in India, Lupin Ltd. Based in Mumbai, Lupin Ltd traces its history to 1968.
Today, Lupin Ltd is the world's largest pharmaceutical company that manufactures drugs to treat tuberculosis (TB). It is also the world's 10th largest generic medicines company.
Lupin Ltd has operations in various countries including the US, France, UK, Germany, Japan, South Africa, Australia, the Philippines, Brazil, and Mexico, among others. Lupin Ltd is the world leader in the manufacture of cephalosporin antibiotics and cardiovascular medications.
It supplies anti-TB drugs to over 50 countries under various programs of the World Health Organization and other international bodies.
3) Dr. Reddy's Laboratories
Dr. Reddy's Laboratories is based in Hyderabad, Telangana. The company was launched in 1984 and launched a slew of generic medicines that drew flak from MNCs and local companies.

Bengal Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals Ltd.

Special Mention:
East India Pharmaceutical Works Ltd
Any mention of India's top pharmaceutical companies is incomplete without naming East India Pharmaceutical Works Ltd.

These activities are now handled by Haffkine Bio-Pharmaceutical Corporation Ltd. The company also has a subsidiary, Haffkine-Ajintha Pharmaceuticals Ltd which makes vaccines against polio, rubella and another disease.
Indian Generic Medicines & World
Several countries in Africa, South East Asia, and the Far East depend upon generic medicines from India to treat economically weaker populations.
The Philippines, for example, is a large importer of Indian medicines since they are cheaper than variants from other countries while meeting or exceeding international standards.
India's generic medicine industry has been the bone of contention at World Trade Organization summits.
Some countries want India to enforce the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), which would mean that India cannot produce cheap generic medicines that are developed by companies in rich countries.
The Indian government and several other nations have continued to ward off this requirement of WTO stating the TRIPS cannot be applied to essentials like medicines.
An increasing number of countries are looking towards India to import cheap yet superior quality medicines.
Top Indian pharma companies have responded by opening manufacturing units that conform to standards stipulated by the US Food and Drugs Administration (FDA).
India has nearly 80 US FDA approved pharmaceutical manufacturing units, which is the highest number outside the United States.
In recent years, countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council- Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates are also importing medicines manufactured by topmost pharmaceutical companies of India.
These imports were spurred by the instability of oil prices and severe fluctuations in US Dollar and Euro rates with local currencies of these countries.
They found that Indian medicines meet and exceed international standards and are economical to buy and dispense.
Consequently, the outlook for India's pharmaceutical sector seems very promising.
Top Indian pharmaceutical companies will benefit from this demand worldwide. Stock prices of these medical companies are somewhat stable due to the bright outlook for Indian pharmaceutical sector within and outside this country.

Q: Why multithreading and multiprocessing is slower than doing nothing when using LOAD DATA INFILE to mysql I need to load a file with 2 million rows in csv format to a mysql database as fast as posible.
The process is the following:
I have a 2 million rows file.
I split it into two 1 million rows file.
Then I use python threading/multiprocessing/concurrent.futures module to execute the LOAD DATA INFILE on each file.
The problem is that the whole 2 million rows file takes 60 seconds to be written to mysql but when I use threading or multiprocessing it takes 90 seconds.
This is the code I'm using:
from concurrent.futures import thread
import mysql.connector
import time
from threading import Thread
import multiprocessing

def write_large(path):
    mydb=mysql.connector.connect(
            host='localhost',
            user='python',
            password='rvlPBO67.',
            database='test'
        )
    mycursor=mydb.cursor()
    sql=f"LOAD DATA INFILE '{path}' INTO TABLE cereal FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' IGNORE 1 ROWS;"
    mycursor.execute(sql)
    mydb.commit()

def main():

    t1= time.perf_counter()

Hi I'm Eleanor and I am currently studying Economics and Politics at the University of Dundee. When not in lectures, I am a dedicated member of Dundee University Boat Club and sit on the committee as Treasurer. We are often up early to watch the sunrise, and use my time on the water as my mindfulness.
Home for me is in Berkshire, England, where I used to volunteer at the local Guide group and was a Sports Ambassador for my school. Voluntary work has been a part of family life since a young age so this opportunity to get a feel for what working in a charity is like really energises me.
Having been exposed to meditation through having a Hindu Father, I was excited to learn more from Karma Jiga and how the centre works in its entirety. I look forward to seeing how this Non-Profit organisation works and getting to grips with the day to day running of their classes, courses and coffee shop.
Hello, my name is David, I am a 2nd year student at the University of Dundee. I am currently studying accountancy and hopefully finance later in 3rd or 4th year. I like taking part in club activities and playing any sort of games with others, I am a member of the University of Dundee's Card Game society committee as their Treasurer of which I can put my studies into practice.
One of my favourite hobbies is writing, I am hoping to be able to publish some of my work for others to enjoy but for now I am still trying to find my way of writing. On top of that I love reading books, especially those in the sci-fi and fantasy genre, I find that reading gives me a sense of peace and of stillness but also great joy and exhilaration as the characters come to life.
I applied for the internship at Nilupul because they offered a wide range of experiences in the workplace and as I have little experience it was the best choice for me. What's more, Nilupul being a charity gives the experience I gain a better meaning than just work experience.
Hi, my name is Carys and I am a 3rd year Business Management student at the University of Abertay. I'm from Cupar in Fife which is close to the "Home of Golf", St Andrews. St Andrews is a place that I have always loved for its historical buildings and streets and of course the beaches. It's a beautiful place to visit.
When I am not studying I like to go the gym and I have found exercise to be a great way to cope with the pressures of being a student and to socialise with other people. This has been a new-found hobby. I have also decided that I will be running in the Chariots 5k Beach Race on St Andrews' West Sands beach (which you may know from the movie Chariots of Fire) in June which is going to be an interesting experience for me as someone who isn't a runner and I am looking forward to training for the race.
At the beginning of my third year I decided to sign up for the Beginner's Spanish course at my university. During my high school years I studied French and Italian which I enjoyed a lot. I have found the course very enjoyable too and as a Direct Entrant student I have found that the course has helped me settle into university life and I have been given the opportunity to meet new people from all over the world. I would love to continue my French, Italian and Spanish studies in the future. I have also become interested in Scottish Gaelic from listening to music by Julie Fowlis, who is a musician from Scotland who sings a lot of her songs in Scottish Gaelic. I think it's a beautiful language that is important to the history of Scotland.
I chose to do my work experience at Nilupul because of there are many opportunities to build skills as well a learning new ones. You get the chance to work in different areas such as finance and hospitality and learn more about what is involved in the running of an organisation. The fact that Nilupul is a charity is another reason why I chose to do my work experience here so that I can learn more about the difference they have made for people.
Hi, my name is Eloise and I am in 2nd year currently studying Business Economics with Marketing at University of Dundee. I believe I am a hardworking, approachable and friendly person. I enjoy challenging myself and pushing myself further in order to achieve goals and better myself. I am capable of working in stressful fast- paced environments.
I am from Belfast, Northern Ireland. I chose to come to Dundee to study as I heard that it is a friendly place with friendly people and it has definitely lived up to expectations. I was very pleased when I found out that I had been offered the internship at Nilupul. My mum has always been into meditation and I would sometimes go to Yoga classes with her, so I am excited to learn more at Nilupul.
I am hoping to learn new skills and build on the skills that I already have. This internship is something different that I have never done before so I am excited to learn and have new experiences.
Hello, my name is Clark and I'm currently in my second year of study at the University of Dundee doing a degree in Politics and International Relations. I am a keen golfer and an active member of the university golf team who play against university teams from all over Scotland. Being part of the golf team has allowed me to meet more people and also play golf courses across Scotland I would have otherwise not been able to play.
I am originally from Aberdeen and lived there for the first 19 years of my life before I got into university in Dundee. The city of Dundee has been great for me and I am enjoying watching it grow as a tourist destination. In my spare time whilst I am not studying my flatmates and I enjoy going out and socialising.
I have been pushing myself to do different things whilst at university and when the opportunity to do an internship came up I was very interested. I decided to apply for Nilupul as it seemed like the perfect place to develop not only heightened people skills but also the skills required to run a charity from day to day. I am very much looking forward to reflecting on my journey once I have completed my internship and hope to remain part of the charity once my 10 weeks are over.

All 5 Nuggets starters score in double figures as they avenge their Christmas Day loss to the Clippers
In a game featuring two teams jockeying for position in the Western Conference standings, the Denver Nuggets played with a bit more urgency and outlasted the host Los Angeles Clippers, 101-94, on Thursday, April 1 (Friday, April 2, Manila time).
All 5 Nuggets starters scored in double figures, led by Jamal Murray's 23 points, Michael Porter Jr's 20 and Will Barton's 19.
New addition Aaron Gordon added 14 points and 6 rebounds, while MVP candidate Nikola Jokic had a quiet night, finishing with 14 points – 13 below his average – and 7 rebounds and 7 assists.
The Nuggets shot 13 of 25 from the three-point arc.
Kawhi Leonard led the Clippers with 24 points and 12 rebounds. Paul George followed with 17 points and 8 rebounds, while Terance Mann chipped in 18 points off the bench.
George returned to the lineup for the Clippers after missing two games due to foot soreness. Marcus Morris Sr also returned to the lineup after missing Thursday's game against Orlando with a calf injury.
The Nuggets avenged a Christmas Day loss to the Clippers, 121-108, in which Los Angeles shot 19 of 38 from long distance.
However, the Nuggets effectively chased the Clippers off the three-point arc on Thursday and made them drive to the basket. Los Angeles shot just 10 for 34 (29%) from beyond the arc this time.
The Clippers fell behind 31-20 at the end of the 1st quarter. They trailed by as many as 18 early in the 3rd quarter but managed to cut Denver's advantage to 7 points with just over 4 minutes left in the period.
The Nuggets pushed the lead back up to 11 points at the end of the quarter.
However, the Clippers caught fire in the fourth, using a 13-3 run to slice Denver's edge to 84-83 with 6:53 left.
The Nuggets survived by outscoring the Clippers 17-11 down the stretch.

Eladio Dieste (Artigas, Uruguay, 1 de diciembre de 1917 - Montevideo, 19 de julio de 2000) fue un ingeniero civil uruguayo reconocido mundialmente por el uso de lo que él denominó cerámica armada.

Obra
Dieste egresó de la Facultad de Ingeniería de la Universidad de la República en 1943.

La obra de Dieste toma el ladrillo y lo lleva a su máxima liviandad en la creación de superficies curvas a partir de una nueva tecnología que el denominó cerámica armada; construcciones abovedadas realizadas con ladrillo, armadura de acero y un mínimo de hormigón.

Este sistema constructivo consigue diseñar finas láminas a partir de la combinación de ladrillo, hierro y mortero, las que se construyen sobre un encofrado móvil. La base de estas superficies es el diseño; se trata de estructuras capaces de resistir las solicitaciones que se ejercen sobre ellas gracias a su forma y no a su masa, lo que conlleva un requerimiento menor de materiales.

Este tipo de construcciones tuvo mucha aceptación porque permiten mayor liviandad, prefabricación y sistematización en la repetición de sus componentes, con costos competitivos para el mercado. Su obra es objeto de estudio en distintas universidades y lo llevó a recibir el título de arquitecto honorario, siendo el único en poseerlo en Uruguay.

Entre sus obras, destacan la iglesia del Cristo Obrero y la iglesia de San Pedro del Durazno, ambas en Uruguay. En España construyó cinco iglesias en el corredor del Henares y otras construcciones para la Universidad de Alcalá.

También se ocupó de la gestión de procesos y de la innovación en técnicas constructivas.

Reconocimientos

El 1 de junio de 1993, recibió el doctorado honoris causa de la Universidad de la República; y el 9 de diciembre de 1999, fue nombrado doctor honoris causa por la Universidad de Montevideo.

El año 2005 fue designado como «año Eladio Dieste» por parte del Museo de Arte Moderno de Nueva York, la Universidad de Princeton y el MIT de Massachusetts, como forma de homenajear a su obra.

Patrimonio de la humanidad de la Unesco
El 27 de julio de 2021, la "Obra del ingeniero Eladio Dieste: iglesia de Atlántida" fue consagrada como patrimonio de la humanidad por la 44ª sesión del Comité del Patrimonio de la Humanidad.

El señor de los ladrillos
En el año 2006, los días 7 y 8 de octubre se celebró en Uruguay el Día del Patrimonio bajo el lema «Tradición e Innovación» Eladio Dieste: el señor de los ladrillos. Durante los días previos la prensa realizó una cobertura especial sobre la vida de Dieste, y sus obras, distribuidas a lo largo y ancho del país, fueron visitadas durante todo el fin de semana. Dicha celebración contribuyó muy eficazmente a la valoración y difusión de la obra de Dieste en Uruguay.

Escritos sobre arquitectura
En 2004 la editorial Princeton Architural Press publicó el primer estudio monográfico de su obra escrito en inglés. La publicación repasa la trayectoria de Dieste a través de escritos realizados por Stanford Anderson, Edward Allen y John Ochsendorf, entre otros.

En 2011 se publicó el libro Escritos sobre arquitectura. Eladio Dieste, compilado por László Erdélyi y Graciela Silvestri.

On the road to a clean airport

The arrival of six single-deck electric buses marks the ongoing commitment by Birmingham Airport to carbon neutrality by 2033
Birmingham Airport (BHX) has launched an electric bus fleet to replace its diesel vehicles in what is believed to be the first pantograph-charged landside electric bus service introduced to any UK airport.
Six new 12m single-deck Volvo 7900 Electric buses, which advertise an energy saving of 80% when compared with the airport's previous fleet, will provide a 24hr service collecting airline passengers from the site's long-stay car parks.
It follows an investment of £1.8m by the airport and a further £1.4m grant from the DfT's Ultra Low Emission bus scheme.
Their introduction comes as part of a wider commitment by BHX, announced on 4 November, to become a net zero carbon airport by 2033 – 17 years ahead of the UK's national target.
Tailored solution
To ensure continuous 24hr operation, rapid charging is offered via two pantographs positioned outside the terminal during passenger boarding and alighting using Volvo's opportunity charging system, OppCharge.
This is done via roof-mounted charging rails above the front axle, which supply electricity to four water-cooled nickel manganese cobalt 50kW/h batteries (totalling 200kW/h battery capacity). These are interchangeable in line with a battery maintenance contract with Volvo. Top up can be achieved in six minutes. Plug-in charging is also located at the front of the vehicle.
Driving the bus is a 160Kw electric motor delivering 400Nm of torque, which doubles as a retarder to recover energy during braking.
routeone spoke to CEO of Birmingham Airport Nick Barton regarding the decision behind electric and overhead charging as the right solution for BHX.
"Airports have an integral link with the carbon debate and we need to make sure we are doing our bit," explains Mr Barton.
"We looked at it from a local level – at what was available and what meets our expectations. The conclusion emphatically is that what we've chosen is the best solution."
Converting the landside bus fleet was one of the first aims of a 2016 carbon reduction strategy. In 2018, the tender process was initiated, and Volvo was selected as the partner. "Our requirement schedules fit with its product the best," Mr Barton adds.
The decision to move to electric fits in with further environmental protection initiatives, such as water course protection, air quality monitoring and noise reduction. Says Mr Barton: "For us as an operation, we set a challenge of 2033 on our net carbon position. Our master plan for the airport's growth was set over a 15-year period, between 2018 and 2033.
"One of the key issues about delivering this target was stretching it. We didn't pick 2050, or even 2040, as I felt that would make zero carbon somebody else's problem. We will perform a lot better in our carbon reduction goals with this schedule than with a pedestrian target – and it sets a standard for other airports to follow."
Currently, the longest of the bus routes is 7km, with the vehicles completing an average annual mileage of around 30,000km. BHX Interim Fleet Manager Andy McDarmaid explains the troubles with the old diesel fleet, and why hybrid was not a solution: "The diesel vehicles suffered problems with their DPFs, as they typically did not reach speeds above 40mph.
"We had to identify whether hybrid or electric was the right product. We determined hybrid wouldn't work due to the distance between stops, which are too close. We would be running pure diesel vehicles in that instance."
The vehicles are to be operated on a 15-year working life with a payback time of between seven and eight years, adds Mr McDarmaid.
Not just an airport
Further growth of BHX will come precipitated by its Hs2 link at Interchange station, due for completion in 2026. The architecture of the pantograph chargers is open for use by other operators. According to Mr McDarmaid, there are currently 400 coach and bus movements at BHX every 24 hours, half of which come from public buses or coaches using the site as a transport interchange.
As a result, the airport will offer charging solutions for other operators, in order to remove barriers to electric vehicle use. This will incur a cost, though due to the early adoption of the technology a tariff is yet to be determined. Mr McDarmaid says discussions with Transport for West Midlands will factor in the cost of electricity and contribution towards maintenance, as opposed to being a profit generator.
Two 100kW CCS Combo 2 chargers in the airport's coach park, also provided by Volvo Buses, complement the pantographs. They are hoped to encourage further growth in electric vehicle use.
