Home Sports We gave everything we had: Virat Kohli's message to fans after semi-final loss against New Zealand
We gave everything we had: Virat Kohli's message to fans after semi-final loss against New Zealand
India's loss against New Zealand in the semi-final of ICC World Cup 2019 at Old Trafford stadium in Manchester has left millions of Indian fans disappointed. Shortly after India was knocked out of the tournament, skipper Virat Kohli took to microblogging site Twitter saying that the team shared the "same emotions" as the fans.
The skipper said that the team put its best foot forward in the tournament. He said, "We gave everything we had." Kohli also used the opportunity to thank the fans, saying that their support made the tournament "memorable" for team India.
"Firstly I want to thank all our fans who came in huge numbers to support the team. You made it a memorable tournament for all of us & we definitely felt the love showered upon the team. We are all disappointed & share the same emotions as you. We gave everything we had. Jai hind," tweeted Kohli.

During his post-match press conference after the loss against New Zealand, Kohli said that 45 minutes of bad cricket cost team India a place in the current edition of World Cup.
He, however, added that New Zealand's performance was above par and that the Black Caps deserved to win. According to the skipper, the credit for New Zealand's victory goes to their bowlers as "the skill from them was on display".
He said, "The first half we were spot on. We got what we needed in the field. We knew we had a good day yesterday, we felt like we had the moment, but the credit has to go to NZ bowlers. The swing and help they got from the surface – the skill from them was on display. Jaddu had an outstanding couple of games. He went with so much clarity, MS had a good partnership with him. It was a game of margins and MS was run-out. 45 minutes of bad cricket puts you out of the tournament."
"Difficult to take it – but New Zealand deserve it. Our shot selection could have been better, but we played a good standard of cricket throughout. New Zealand were braver in crunch situations and they deserve it," he added.
Chasing the target of 240 which seemed moderate initially, India made a worst possible start as they collapsed to 5/3 inside 3.1 overs before wicketkeeper-batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni (50) and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja (77) stitched a crucial partnership of 116 runs for the seventh wicket. However, this was not enough as the Black Caps displayed good form and outdid India on all fronts.
45 minutes of bad cricket cost India place in World Cup 2019 final, says Virat Kohli

Q: Manage multiple YAML extensions I have the Home Assistant extension installed in VSCode but also want to use the ESPHome extension, both of these are for YAML files.
I need a way of telling VSCode which extension to use.
I wonder if it is possible to configure VSCode to use a specific extension in a specified folder tree or else to put something in the YAML file itself so the extension can recognise that it should be effective for that YAML file.

A: If I understand your question correct, you want to select installed extensions for in your case; YAML files.

As always, Man Wah delivered on all fronts. Impeccable all the way from the amuse bouche to dessert and petit fours. Paired with excellent service throughout. My favourite restaurant for Cantonese food in Hong Kong. Two thumbs up!
The food, service and ambiance was sublime. Peking duck at it's westernised finest. The waiters were so accommodating and the environment was intimate and opulent.

A report by Dana Eastland. As mentioned on tablehopper more than a year ago (back when it had a different name, even), Thad Vogler of Bar Agricole has a new spot in the works. It's called ~TROU NORMAND~ and is now open in the beautiful Pacific Telephone Building at 140 New Montgomery. It's an all-day bar and restaurant, serving breakfast in the morning straight through until dinner, with drinks and food available anytime. The idea is a little old-fashioned, not unlike old-school establishments from a bygone era that encouraged lingering at any hour of the day.
The space is a looker for sure, with soaring ceilings and windows to match. Boor Bridges (The Mill, Sightglass on 20th) designed the space, and they've kept the feeling contemporary without sacrificing or hiding the building's great bones. The floor and all the cabinetry is dark oak, and all the tables as well as the impressive bar were made with reclaimed marble that was pulled out of the building's elevator lobbies and honed to a matte finish. The walls were plastered and painted a clean white, and the ceiling was left unfinished, giving the space the feeling of an artist's loft. Angular steel light fixtures (that match the bar's foot rail and purse hooks) keep the space feeling tailored, and soft, tufted leather banquettes in a rich brown hue prevent it all from feeling too cold and hard.
A back room adjacent to the kitchen has a huge walnut butcher's table, and the space can be used either as an additional prep space for the kitchen (it's been used to butcher whole hogs recently), or as a private dining room for large groups. That's not the only space that does double duty: the back of the entry has a sliding wall panel that opens to reveal some additional handicapped seating and a café counter for morning coffee.
Off the back is a huge outdoor patio that will feature a glass and steel canopy with integrated heaters, making the outdoor space usable year-round, rain or shine. Seth Boor, the architect on the project, reports that the building lit up at night is dramatic and quite gorgeous, and hopes that the patio will be installed in two months.
A great deal of attention has been paid to the interior design of the space, as well. Two graphic artists from New York, Erin Knutson and Grace Robinson-Leo of Study Studio, did all the art direction for the restaurant. That means that they've essentially "curated" a selection of art for the walls, all of it by women artists. They wanted to look at the cliché of the female nude in old-school bars through a contemporary lens. Particularly, they were looking to reexamine the 1960s bar culture, especially in France. To that end, they commissioned artist Ebecho Muslimova to design a female nude for behind the bar. It was painted by local New Bohemia Signs from a specially mixed paint made from raw milk, which gives it a more aged, matte look. Muslimova also created some humorous nude line drawings for the entryway (be sure to take a look at them) that offer a sassy take on the female nude (and charcuterie, wink).
There are also works from Allison Katz, Lizzy Marshall, Heidi Hahn, and a collective called Fort Makers. The art feels more considered than that found in many restaurants, and gives the space an almost gallery-like feeling. Fortunately, the art is playful enough that you won't feel the need to whisper, but it does lend a cosmopolitan sophistication to the handsome space.
Knutson and Robinson-Leo were also thorough in their graphic design. The pair was responsible for crafting the menus, which are printed in classic type and then secured to slabs of glossy white acrylic and blond wood. They also created postcards that evoke a 1960s photographic pastiche, including a childhood photo of Thad Vogler. In the back, a walnut communal table can also be used for large parties (the room doubles as a private dining room).
As for the food and beverages, the cocktail list will include Armagnac, Cognac, and Calvados, much of it sourced directly from Europe. The name, Trou Normand, was inspired by a buying trip Vogler took to Normandy—it's a tradition to throw back a shot of Calvados in preparation for or during a big meal to make room ("a Norman hole").
You'll see it all over the cocktail menu (all drinks $11), from the Bombay (brandy, sweet and dry vermouth, curacao, absinthe) to the Zamboanaga (Armagnac, pineapple gum, lime, maraschino). The house old-fashioned is made with Cognac, along with two types of bitters. There is also a wine list, dominated primarily by French and Italian selections. Two sparklers are available by the glass, as well as a rosé, four whites, and five reds.
The food is grounded in the charcuterie offerings, from chef Salvatore Cracco. His résumé includes Adesso and the butchery at Bar Agricole, and he's apparently got quite the operation going on here too. He's using Mangalitsa pigs from Devil's Gulch Ranch to create at least 40 different varieties of cured meat, which will be available all day.
As for the rest of the menu, you'll find breakfast items including sandwiches in the morning, while in the evening the menu focuses on larger entrées intended for sharing, like a red wine-braised pork shank ($50) or a halibut with salsa verde ($45). Sides are available as well, including choices like grilled spring onions ($7) and asparagus with brown butter and lemon ($9). For dessert, it's ice cream ($7) only, or of course you could opt for another cocktail. Here's the menu.
Hours will be 8am-1am eventually, but right now they're opening at 5pm for dinner only. 140 New Montgomery St. at Natoma, 415-975-0876.
Il Casaro Now Open in North Beach, Serving Neapolitan Pizza and 'Cibo da Strada'

Last week I swung by the brand-new ~IL CASARO~ in North Beach, which was running friends and family dinners and was softly open. The project is in the former Steps of Rome on Columbus, a second project for Francesco Covucci (the chef) and Peter Fazio of Vicoletto (which is just a few blocks away on Green). The Calabrese duo are offering a menu of authentic Neapolitan pizzas (yes, from a Stefano Ferrara wood-fired oven) with some classic Italian toppings ($12-$18), and I recognized the pizzaiolo previously at Tony's Pizza Napoletana, Salvatore DiStefano.
The concept behind the menu is doing "cibo da strada," the late-night street food you find in Italy, like arancini (Il Casaro's have beef inside), fried cod, and crocchette (potato croquettes), all at a reasonable price point. There will also be pizza dough sandwiches (panuozzo) stuffed with either broccoli rabe, Italian sausage, and scamorza, or one with ground pork, pepe rosso, fennel seed, and french fries (uh-huh). Nope, there isn't any pasta on the menu (for a change!), showing it's not just another place geared at capturing tourists—Covucci really wants Il Casaro to appeal to locals. You can look at the opening menu here.
A highlight on the menu are the cheeses available (casaro means "cheesemaker"), which ranges from housemade fior di latte mozzarella to burrata to the rarely seen raspa dura, a cow's milk cheese (young Lodigiano) that is shaved off the wheel and then served in a cone. Nope, no one is doing that in the city. There will also be some salumi plates too.
The space has a combination of regular tables and high-tops in the back, plus there's a long L-shaped counter around the pizza oven. It has a simple and casual look, with lots of wood, and one fun flourish is on the wall, where Covucci had an artist paint some Italian sayings.
The wine list features all Italian wines (Campania is well represented, with falanghina, Fiano di Avellino, and Taurasi on the list, and of course I'm happy to see the Calabrese gaglioppo from Statti on there), and naturally there's some Peroni on tap. Hours are Sun-Thu 12pm-11pm and Fri-Sat 12pm-12am. 348 Columbus Ave. at Grant, 415-677-9455.
Barrelhead Brewhouse Now Open in NoPa
Photo: Dana Eastland. © tablehopper.com.
A report by Dana Eastland. As we covered last July in tablehopper, NoPa is getting a brewery and restaurant. It's called ~BARRELHEAD BREWHOUSE~, and it comes from owner-brewer Ivan Hopkinson, who previously was the assistant brewmaster at Park Chalet. The new spot is currently softly open.
The huge space at 1745 Fulton is the former home of Fulton Street Bar (which has been vacant for soooo long), and they've spent months working on it. Hopkinson and his team of builders, including Kieran O'Donoghue and Gerard Murphy, have made some majors changes to the space. They took out most of a loft that created a second floor, and now have a mezzanine that looks down into a main dining room with high ceilings and brewing equipment on display.
The mezzanine will be available to rent out for large groups, and there are two communal tables, one upstairs and one down. The space has some nice, personal touches, including a woodstove in the dining room and personal trinkets embedded into the lacquer on the reclaimed wood slabs.
The bar is under the mezzanine, and there are 43 beers on tap. The taps are fitted into a big, honking torpedo for a little rocket man charm. While we're talking about beer, Hopkinson is still getting his own brewing operation up and running. Eventually, he'll be able to offer his own brews along with some guest handles. For now, though, they're all guests. Look out for options from breweries like Ballast Point, Ninkasi, and Goose Island. Once Hopkinson has his own beers going, he wants to offer a broad range of selections. There will be traditional, popular styles, as well as more adventurous ones.
The food menu comes from chef Tim Tattan, who previously worked as the sous chef at Monk's Kettle. He's already got a signature dish, the mini Cristo (that's a deep-fried, miniature Monte Cristo), and his menu offers lots of pub-friendly food, like fish and chips, a burger, and smoked meats. Right now, they're just serving snacks and dinner, but look out for brunch in the future. Hours are Mon-Fri 11am-2am, Sat-Sun 10am-2am, kitchen open until 1:30am (but they're still working all that out—might be a good idea to call ahead and make sure they're open before heading over). 1785 Fulton St. at Masonic, 415-416-6994.
Chef Moves: Melissa Perfit Returns to Bar Crudo, Brett Cooper Splits with Outerlands

Funny how things can sometimes go full circle. Talented chef Melissa Perfit, who has most recently been running the show at ~HARD WATER~, is now back at ~BAR CRUDO~—she was back in the Crudo kitchen as of last Tuesday. I spoke with partner Tim Selvera, who said that since his brother-partner-chef Mike is busy getting their Guerneville project—Seaside Metal—ready to open, they wanted to have a qualified chef to lead at Bar Crudo. Perfit will be overhauling the menu, although classics like the chowder and lobster salad will remain. Will be nice to see you back in the neighborhood, Melissa!
Last week I checked in with partner Lana Porcello of ~OUTERLANDS~ to see how their expansion into the space next door was coming along (they're about a month out), and she had some much larger news to share: "I also wanted to let you know of a significant change in the restaurant: after a difficult decision-making process, we have decided to part ways with chef Brett [Cooper]. As you can imagine, this was a tough choice, but one that we feel will be the best for both the restaurant and to support the growth of his career moving forward. We are currently restructuring aspects of our service and look forward to sharing our vision for the next phase of the restaurant's direction and growth."
Wow, I don't think I'm the only one who didn't see that one coming. Stand by for news on who snaps up the talented Cooper—I've been a fan since I met him when he was cooking for Stuart Brioza at Rubicon (he has also worked at Coi and Saison). As for Outerlands, I'll keep you posted as the reopening nears.

Takers for the Wo Hing Space on Valencia
View of Wo Hing from the mezzanine. Photo: © tablehopper.com.
I heard some rumors that Lissa Doumani and Hiro Sone (Ame, Terra, Bar Terra) were taking over Charles Phan's closed ~WO HING GENERAL STORE~ space on Valencia, but when I got in touch with Doumani for confirmation, all I got was "Can't talk swamped by tax work. Rumors are generally rumors or outdated."
Not that outdated, actually, and I guess someone got her taxes done since the Scoop ran the news that they are in fact taking it over just four days after I got in touch. Phan will still own the building, but Doumani and Sone have bought the liquor license. Look for an opening in July or August; details about the concept and design are slim for now.

Switcheroo: Pan Grill (at Butterfly) Now Sammy's Aloha
Sammy's ahi tuna poke bowl (with an egg!). Photo courtesy of Sammy's Aloha.
The to-go window at ~BUTTERFLY~ has morphed from Pan Grill (we previously mentioned it here) into Sammy's Aloha, under the watchful eye of Sammy Kong Kee, a two-time ahi poke recipe contest winner both here and in Hawaii. The kitchen is still stuffing the same awesome housemade milk buns, but now the menu is doing more of a farm-to-table Hawaiian vibe, with the Porky Boy ($8, kalua-style pork, hoisin barbecue sauce, and kimchi), Ono BBQ Chicken Sandwich ($8, Kewpie mayo, pickled carrots and daikon, cucumber, fried onions), and a burger ($8, teriyaki glaze, sriracha rémoulade, and caramelized onion jam)—all the meat and poultry is natural. Well, except if you see some Spam on the menu, and you know it's from Hormel.
There are also some rice bowls (ahi poke and loco moco, oh, you know it), noodle bowls, salads, bao, and more: check out the menu here. Check out the Spammy Fries ($5), with fried sushi rice and salmon roe. Fun fact: the rice is from the famous Ikeda's market up in Auburn (both Yumegokochi white rice and black Thai sticky rice). Swing by the takeout window on the south side of the restaurant from Tue-Sun (11am-3pm). Pier 33, The Embarcadero at Bay, 415-864-8999.
Tidbits: Changes at Brass Knuckle and Cafe Flore, Kawika's Ocean Beach Deli, More
The Snoop Dogg from Brass Knuckle. Yelp photo by Earl G.
A Twitter tip from Cafe Flore tipped us off to some changes at recently opened ~BRASS KNUCKLE~, and a call to the restaurant revealed some details. It turns out that Brass Knuckle has been bought by Tina Zamacona, and original owner Shellie Kitchen is no longer there (though she does still own a small percentage of the business). Zamacona has made some tweaks to the recipes, brought on a new chef, and added some decorative changes to the space, including a mural on the wall. 749 Larkin St. at O'Farrell, 415-567-2233.
It looks like Shellie Kitchen is the new chef at ~CAFE FLORE~, according to their Facebook page. She also seems to have a new pop-up called Shot Gun that may or may not be popping up at Cafe Flore; unfortunately we weren't able to get any information from either party, but we'll let you know when we hear anything! 2298 Market St. at Noe, 415-621-8579.
~THE CORNER STORE~ is now serving brunch six days a week, Tue-Sun (they're closed Mondays). The new menu includes items from their weekend brunch menu, as well as some of their lunchtime favorites. The biscuit stack, chicken and grits, and burger are just a few of the items to keep your lipid levels elevated. 10am-3pm Tue-Sun.
As previously reported on tablehopper, there have been some changes at the Outer Richmond's former Fredy's Ocean Beach Deli. Owner Fredy sold the business to longtime employee David Nottage last year, and Nottage and his wife Joanne have reopened it as ~KAWIKA'S OCEAN BEACH DELI~. The Nottages have kept many of the hallmarks of the deli intact: they're still making their own sourdough bread, roasting turkey and beef in-house, and many of the beloved daily specials remain. They've added a few Greek items to the menu, and you'll also find beer and wine available for dine-in or takeout. Hours are currently Mon-Fri 8am-5pm, Sat-Sun 8am-5:30pm, though they'll stay open until 7:30pm in the future. 734 La Playa St. at Cabrillo, 415-221-2031.
Chowhound has news that there is a new Xi'an-style restaurant in the Outer Sunset, called ~TERRA COTTA WARRIOR~. The restaurant specializes in the food of Shaanxi province, with hand-pulled noodles, a variety of cold dishes, and lamb roujiamo (kind of like an awesome burger). For an in-depth look, check out Gary Soup's review at Full Noodle Frontity, and check his Flickr page for menus. 2555 Judah St. at 31st Ave., 415-681-3288.
Driving around in SoMa, I noticed a huge banner announcing the arrival of ~CHANTAL GUILLON~ at 1309 Howard St. This popular maker of macarons is moving their kitchen in SoMa to this bigger location—seems there has been a high demand at their Hayes Street and Palo Alto stores. Guillon is still in the process of deciding if she will have a storefront at this location as well, in addition to the new kitchen, so stand by for an update from us if that's going to happen. 1309 Howard St. at 9th St.
There's a new pie to check out at Tony Gemignani's restaurants, including ~CAPO'S~, ~TONY'S PIZZA NAPOLETANA~, and ~TONY'S OF NORTH BEACH~. They've been working on it for six months, it's called the sausage and stout pizza, and the dough is made with Guinness (who we are currently loving for dropping their sponsorship of New York's St. Patrick's Day parade because of the parade's rule barring LGBTQ groups from participating). Anyway, the pizza also has housemade sausage, caramelized onions, fontina, green onion, and a Guinness reduction. Yep, that's a pie to hork. There are only 23 made each day, so claim yours early.

Andytown Coffee Roasters Opening March 22nd
The counter at Andytown. Photo courtesy Andytown.
As previously reported in tablehopper, husband-and-wife team Michael McCrory and Lauren Crabbe are bringing ~ANDYTOWN~, a new coffee roaster and café, to the Outer Sunset. We've been tracking them for some time, and the pair are getting ready for their grand opening this Saturday March 22nd (hurrah!), after some pretty major construction delays. McCrory is roasting their coffee on a small roaster, including an espresso blend named after the neighborhood in Belfast his father is from.
On the food side of things, many of McCrory's family recipes will be used to make pastries and bread in-house. There's soda bread cooked in cast iron, served with preserves, as well as bread and cookies. Hours are Tue-Thu 7am-12pm, Fri 7am-3pm, Sat 8am-3pm, Sun 8am-12pm. Eventually, they plan to open daily 7am-7pm. 3655 Lawton St. at 43rd Ave., 415-753-9775.
Closures: 903 Cortland, Hapa SF, and a Fire at Tavern at Lark Creek Means a Temporary Closure
The Tavern at Lark Creek. Photo from Facebook.
Eater reports (via Bernalwood) that ~903 CORTLAND~ by Matsumi Takhara (of Sandbox Bakery) has closed in order to focus more on the catering side of the business. It sounds like the evening pop-ups (Kinfolk, Nute's Noodle Night) will continue for now, and 903's sandwiches and more will be on the to-go menu at Sandbox Bakery. 903 Cortland Ave. at Gates.
This one's a bummer. According to a post on their Facebook page, the ~HAPA SF~ truck has closed up shop. Chef-owner William Pilz says he has started working at The Moss Room at the Academy of Sciences and is serving Hapa's dishes on Thursday nights. He is hoping that more Filipino cuisine will make an appearance on the menu there moving forward too. Best of luck, William, and we can't wait to keep eating your food wherever you go!
~THE TAVERN AT LARK CREEK~ suffered a fire in the kitchen on Saturday morning. No one was hurt, thank goodness, though the restaurant will be closed for an unspecified amount of time while repairs are made. Hopefully they'll be back up and running soon! 234 Magnolia Ave at William, Larkspur. 415-924-7766.
Bay Cuisine & Cocktails Pop-up, Michael Black at Local's Corner
Photo medley from a previous Bay Cuisine & Cocktails pop-up (via Facebook).
Chef Jonnatan Leiva, who is back from his five-year tour of cooking in New York and gearing up to open ~BAY CUISINE & COCKTAILS~ here in SF (it's going to be in SoMa), is hosting a second pop-up on Monday March 24th at ~THE CORNER STORE~. Leiva has most recently been cooking at Penrose in Oakland, and has left the kitchen there to focus on his own project (he is partnering with Khalid Lahlou and Chris Wright on Bay). Bay just launched their Kickstarter campaign; check it out and you can learn more about the restaurant concept.
So, the pop-up. Guests will be seated simultaneously, either at 6pm or 8:30pm. You can read the four-course menu here, hearalding the coming of spring. Each of the four courses will be paired with a handcrafted cocktail (created by Chris Wright and Tomofei Osipenko) or a glass of wine. $75, all inclusive. Get your tickets here.
It looks like Michael Black, of the recently shuttered Sebo, is going to be popping up at ~LOCAL'S CORNER~ on Sunday nights for a while. He'll be preparing super-fresh, super-local plates, not unlike his chirazushi lunch plates currently available at Local Mission Market. The rice, fish, vinegar, and miso are all from California. He'll also include some of Sebo's non-fish specialties on the menu, like pork leg with kimchi. Look for salads with Japanese produce from Mariquita Farm too. Reservations can be made here. (H/t Scoop).

SF Chefs Changes Name to Eat Drink SF, Moves to Fort Mason
The end of an era: the Tasting Tent at SF Chefs, now Eat Drink SF. Photo © Gamma Nine Photography.
San Francisco's celebration of all things comestible, SF Chefs, has changed its name to Eat Drink SF, and moved from its Union Square location to Fort Mason. The move comes about because the festival has become so well attended that it had simply outgrown the smaller Union Square location. Look out for more chefs participating, as well as more culinary tours and dinners happening all around the city.
The festival will continue to be focused around the tasting tent, though now it will be called the Tasting Pavilion. You'll still find chefs serving bites, and great wines and spirits on offer, and of course lots of special dinners and demonstrations. Tickets to the event, which is happening this year from July 27th-August 3rd, will go on sale May 15th. Don't miss out! Fort Mason Center, 2 Marina Blvd. at Laguna.
Now Open in Mill Valley: Molina

There's a stylish new spot in downtown Mill Valley ~MOLINA~ from chef-owner Todd Shoberg, who has worked in kitchens for the past 20 years at places like Town Hall Restaurant and Liberty Café (alongside Julia McClasky); he also helped Ed Carew open the Cottage Eatery. Most recently he was the executive chef at Piatti Mill Valley and culinary director for the Moana Restaurant Group.
This project is an intimate one, and very chef-driven: the space was originally a house and is centered around a historic Alan Scott) oven (the name, Molina, is a reference to someone who manages a mill). The menu very much reflects our local aesthetic: casual, farm-driven, wood-fired, and California coastal. The daily menu will highlight what's freshest; take a look here.
The wine list was assembled by Jason Ruppert (sommelier and estate educator for Littorai Wines), highlighting local, small-production, and family-owned wineries.
The 55-seat space was designed by Claro, and it's meant to have a welcoming, homey feel—there are some Nordic design elements (Shoberg is Norwegian and Finnish) mixing with a Northern California vibe. Open nightly for dinner 5pm-10pm. 17 Madrona St., Mill Valley, 415-383-4200.
510 Opening: Cugini Manzone Now Open
A pizza fresh from the new oven at Cugini Manzone. Photo from Facebook.
We first mentioned this project back in November, and now it's open, according to Diablo Dish. ~CUGINI MANZONE~ is from owner Giuseppe Manzone, with his brother Michele and sister-in-law Leslie. They've installed a wood-burning oven from Italy, and will be using it to prepare wood-fired pizzas. The menu also offers salads, antipasti, and larger entrée dishes, as well. They are open for lunch, dinner, and in between for spuntino, when smaller snacks will be available. Hours will be Mon-Sat 11am-10pm and Sun 11am-9pm; right now, they're opening at 5pm Mon-Sat and 4pm Sun. 2930 College Ave. at Russell, Berkeley. 510-649-8600.

Texas Ranks 47th in Cancer-Preventing HPV Vaccination Coverage
Key Points about HPV Vaccination in Texas
In 2016, only Wyoming, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Utah had lower coverage than Texas.
There is a 36 percent "vaccination gap" between HPV and other adolescent vaccines.
El Paso has coverage rates higher than every state but Rhode Island.
Dallas is lower than every state and the District of Columbia.
AUSTIN—In 2016, less than a third of Texas adolescents were up-to-date on human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccinations, according to a new report from researchers at The University of Texas System and UT Health Northeast. Only Wyoming, Mississippi, South Carolina and Utah had HPV vaccination coverage levels lower than Texas. The report utilizes recently released data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The vaccines offer protection from the HPV strains most closely linked to cancer. If given in two doses at ages 11 and 12 (or three doses when older), the vaccines can help prevent HPV-associated cancers in males and females. The vaccines are most effective when given at younger ages and prior to exposure to HPV.
HPV is associated with 99 percent of cervical cancers, 95 percent of anal cancers, 70 percent of throat and neck cancers, 65 percent of vaginal cancers, 50 percent of vulvar cancers, and 35 percent of penile cancers. HPV-associated cancers make up approximately 3 percent of all cancer cases among women and 2 percent of all cancer cases among men in the United States.
"These are preventable cancers," said David Lakey, M.D., the UT System's Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs and Chief Medical Officer. "That means thousands of lives can be improved, or saved, if we can bring our vaccination rates up to where they are for other adolescent vaccines."
The data comes from the National Immunization Survey (NIS) of teens ages 13-17. The same survey data found that rates for the tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap), and for the meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MenACWY), were 85 percent and 85.5 percent, respectively. These coverage estimates were similar to those in the U.S. overall.
Although adolescent HPV vaccination coverage in Texas has been increasing over the past decade, it has not kept pace with the U.S. overall. As recently as 2013, rates for the vaccine were on par with the U.S. average. By last year, the percentage of Texas adolescents who had received at least one dose of the HPV vaccine was 10.6 percentage points lower for females and 11.7 percentage points lower for males than the national average.
Texas ranks 47th in terms of up-to-date HPV vaccination out of the 50 states and the District of Columbia, though there is dramatic variation within the state. The 2016 estimate for up-to-date vaccination for El Paso County was 66 percent, which was higher than every state in the nation except Rhode Island. Only 23.9 percent of teens in Dallas County, on the other hand, had up-to-date coverage in 2016, which was worse than every other state and the District of Columbia.
"Every year since the teen survey began in 2008, estimates for adolescent HPV vaccination coverage in El Paso has been substantially higher than anywhere else in Texas," says Eileen Nehme, Ph.D., Assistant Professor for Population Health at UT Health Northeast. "Years ago, El Paso's health advocates made a concerted effort to get their teens vaccinated, and the data show their efforts paid off. We should learn from El Paso's experience, and bring those lessons to benefit the rest of the state."
In both the U.S. and Texas, males were less likely than females to be up-to-date on HPV vaccines. Nationally, teens living in an urban area were the most likely to be up-to-date in HPV vaccinations, while those living in more rural areas were the least likely. This variation is evident in the Texas numbers, although the difference is not statistically significant.
"The huge vaccination gap in Texas, between HPV and other adolescent vaccines, suggests that the best opportunity to increase coverage lies in providing the HPV vaccine at the same visit when other adolescent vaccines are given," says Divya Patel, Ph.D., Assistant Professor for Population Health at UT Health Northeast. "If we can change attitudes and behaviors around the HPV vaccine, and increase awareness that it is a cancer prevention vaccine, we can make a huge difference in people's lives."
Educating students, providing care for patients, conducting groundbreaking basic, applied and clinical research, and serving the needs of Texans and the nation for more than 130 years, The University of Texas System is one of the largest public university systems in the United States. With 14 institutions and a projected enrollment of more than 234,000 students, the UT System confers more than one-third of the state's undergraduate degrees, educates approximately two-thirds of the state's health care professionals annually and accounts for almost 70 percent of all research funds awarded to public institutions in Texas. The UT System's operating budget for FY 2018 is $18.3 billion, funded in part by $3.6 billion in sponsored programs from federal, state, local and private sources. With more than 20,000 faculty – including Nobel laureates and many members of the National Academies – and nearly 80,000 health care professionals, researchers, student advisors and support staff, the UT System is one of the largest employers in the state.

Q: Reactive approach Angular2 I'm using reactive approach in angular2.
Where I have this form group.
     return this.fb.group({
             CreateDate:[''],
             UpdateDate:['']
      });

CreateDate and UpdateDate is not required to input. But when I clicked the submit button I get this error:
   core.umd.js:3010 Error: Must supply a value for form control with name: 'CreateDate'

Is there a way to fixed this issue when the form group value is empty.

A: Somewhere in your code, you call:
this.myForm.setValue({
    UpdateDate: 'a value here'
    // but you forgot CreateDate
});

Hence the error.
If you use setValue, parameter must have the same structure as defined.
If you want to partially update your form values, use patchValue.
Double check your setValue and patchValue calls.

Adenovirus Infection Treatment and Prevention
By Dr. Ananya Mandal, MDReviewed by April Cashin-Garbutt, MA (Editor)
Adenovirus infection treatment
Like most other viral infections, there are no specific drugs that can target the adenovirus. The body's immune system fights the infection and it resolves in three to five days in most individuals.
Treatment is targeted towards reliving symptoms of the condition and includes:-
Bed rest and isolation to prevent spread of infection.
Drinking plenty of water and clear fluids. This prevents dehydration.
Over the counter fever relievers may be taken in case of fever and headache. Paracetamol/Acetaminophen or Ibuprofen is most commonly used. In children below 12 years Aspirin should not be used to relieve fever. Use of Aspirin in viral infections raises the risk of liver and brain damage called Reye's syndrome in children.
Humidifiers may be prescribed to ease a sore throat and blocked nose. Saline nasal drops may also be used. In patients with asthma, if there is difficulty in breathing medications (inhalers) that can dilate the airways are prescribed.
Lozenges and cough drops may be taken to ease the throat and cough.
In those with conjunctivitis eye drops with antibiotics and ointments are advised.
Complications such as pneumonia need to be managed in the hospital after admission. Appropriate antibiotics, oxygen, intravenous fluids etc. are needed.
Those with meningitis also need to be admitted to the hospital and managed with antibiotics, oxygen, intravenous fluids etc.
Those with middle ear infections or otitis media may be managed on an outpatient basis with use of antibiotics and supportive treatment for pain, fever and other symptoms.
Cidofovir is an antiviral agent that has been used to treat severe adenovirus infections in people with suppressed or low immune systems. Cidofovir is given three times a week at the dose 1mg/kg/day. Cidofovir may alternatively by given at a dose of 5mg/kg/week. This drug can damage the kidneys and is also expensive. It is reserved for only serious cases. Cidofovir should be stopped when adenovirus is no longer detected in the blood by PCR in two consecutive samples.
Serious patients especially with lowered immunity may also be given immunoglobulin at a dose of 500mg/kg weekly for 3 weeks to fight the infection.
Prevention of adenovirus infection
Exploring vaccine-induced cellular immunity against SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant
Researchers identify new mechanism for DNA invasion of adenoviral COVID-19 vaccines
Two-dose ChAdOx1 vaccine protection wanes after three months
Prevention of adenovirus infection relies on healthy habits applicable for prevention of most viral infections. These measures include:-
Hand washing before and after eating or handling material used by an infected person. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers may be used frequently if hands are not visibly dirty.
Eyes, nose or mouth should not be touched using contaminated hands or fingers.
Covering mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing helps prevent spread of the virus.
Isolation and avoidance of work or school when ill with a cold or viral infection.
Keeping swimming pools adequately chlorinated.
Avoiding sharing towels and utensils etc. with an infected person. Avoidance of close contact with a person ill with adenovirus infection.
Adenovirus vaccine
An oral vaccine against adenovirus types 4 and 7 was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in March 2011 for U.S. military personnel. It can be used only in those between 17 and 50 years of age.
The vaccine is recommended by the U.S. Department of Defense for military recruits to prevent acute respiratory disease.

The Built-Up Country, in Detail — Zaisyo
September 22, 2010 Kurt	1 Comment
Review by Peter Evans for Japan Exposures.
Z aisyo means something like the country or one's country. The photographer is Mitsuru Fujita, and this is his second photobook. The book tells us that he was born in 1934, became a freelance photographer in 1961, set up a company called Fujitaman in 1966 (man is an alternative reading of the character for Mitsuru), won various advertising awards, taught photography part time at a technical school and a university for 26 years, closed Fujitaman in 2007 to concentrate on the photographs he wanted to take, and has had a number of photo exhibitions.
Zaisyo, published by Tosei-sha in May of this year, presents about 140 monochrome photographs, reproduced 24×17.5 cm, of scenes that are almost all in the Japanese countryside, much of which (I add for readers who haven't been there) is as densely populated as suburbia elsewhere in the world. Most were taken between 2000 and 2009, although some date back to 1995. Almost always it's the built-up countryside, and often much of the frame is taken up by buildings less than ten meters away. (There are few distant vistas here.) No people are directly visible, even – so far as I notice – in the background. The complete absence of people might warn that the project is dogmatic and sterile, but this isn't so: Fujita does sometimes photograph a building head on, but he works to no template: he prefers diagonals and indeed he points his camera in whichever direction he wishes.
Mitsuru Fujita, Toujin, Saga City, January, 2007 — from Zaisyo
Fujita seems to like old-fashioned buildings: those covered with wooden slats, and traditional earthern warehouse kura. But he also clearly likes corrugated iron. What with the rust, dark clouds, puddles and little pick-up trucks, this book is no tourist souvenir. Yet there's no insistence on age, wear, the vernacular or even the rural: on p.53 is a glass-fronted building in Saga City. (Right next to the building is the entrance to a temple, however.) And there's also no insistence on architectural quality, oddity, authenticity or a conventionally pleasing ensemble: on p.69 for example is charmless nowheresville, a view redeemed by a dark sky. Yet anonymity is outweighed by quiddity: the one view (p.71) of Tokyo shows what appears to be a suburban fortress, incongruously supporting a prefabricated house of modest size with an imitation exposed timber frame.
"The complete absence of people might warn that the project is dogmatic and sterile, but Fujita works to no template — indeed he points his camera in whichever direction he wishes."
I lack the expertise to say whether the printing (by Toppan) is duotone, tritone, quad-tone or something else, but it's excellent and it's easily good enough for the non-fetishist. The grey isn't grey, exactly; instead, it has an hint of gold for an appealingly warm tone to the whole. (Only a hint – there's no "sepia" for canned nostalgia.) And the resolution is so fine that you'd be able to see any grain visible on prints of the same size.
Mitsuru Fujita, Gojo, Nara Prefecture, January, 2003 — from Zaisyo
Yet there seems to be no grain. Depopulated townscapes are of course the province of view cameras, and indeed there's sign of lens shifting for perspective correction. The angle of view seems to be wide, sometimes very wide, and I started to wonder what gadgetry had produced it. This isn't mentioned in the short preface by Fujita, or, it seems, in either of the substantial afterwords by the photographer Osamu Kanemura and a Mr. Hayashi. (Indeed, Kanemura seems not to mention the work or its creator, though he does have a paragraph on Gregor Samsa.) However, googling brought blog commentary that said Fujita had used an 11×14 camera. Fujita's first book, Ki‑ryo 羈旅 (2000), does show and describe the equipment he used. Sure enough, 11×14: film size 355×280 mm, image size 345×265 mm. For that earlier book he used a 165 mm and a 210 mm lens (divide by ten for the rough equivalent at 36×24mm). The camera weighed 11.8 kg and five film holders added 11.6 kg. If this is what he used for Zaisyo too, then the reproductions in it are about half the size of mere contact prints. With today's emulsions, it's not obvious why 5×7, let alone 8×10, isn't enough for anything other than bragging rights; but anyway this man deserves a floor of the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography to exhibit thundering great silver gelatines of what we see miniaturized in the book.
Aside from the information it gives us, the earlier book merits a look. Ki‑ryo is B4 format, so the reproductions are bigger than in Zaisyo. But Zaisyo has almost three times as many of them, and is less than half the price. (And the reproductions in Ki‑ryo lack the hint of gold that subtly helps Zaisyo.) Best of all, the work itself in Zaisyo is on average more interesting than that in Ki‑ryo. For Ki‑ryo, Fujita mixed material similar to that in Zaisyo with head-on portrayals of Famous Buildings (and Ancient Trees) that – with apologies to Eiji Ina (Emperor of Japan) – I already get quite enough of in old postcards. So even aside from value for money, Zaisyo is the first choice.
Mitsuru Fujita, Ogi, Niigata Prefecture, September, 2000 — from Zaisyo
And so back to Zaisyo. It provides at least five Y-junctions (pp. 13, 31, 72, 75, 92) for your inner Yokoo. As well as the timber, corrugated iron and asphalt, you get individual private houses, riverfronts, and even the occasional viaduct (p.39) and station platform (p.57). The mood often tends to the melancholy, but it's rarely if ever bleak: the sun does shine in numerous pages. There's plenty of detail to draw you back. Every photograph is inconspicuously but clearly captioned on the page, so you don't have to keep flipping to and from the back; yet in the back there's also a list of photographs so you can quickly see what's on offer from, say, Okayama prefecture. Though the book is covered in cardboard rather than cloth, it's well bound in sewn signatures. As the colophon is in English as well as Japanese it's odd that nothing else – captions, preface, afterwords – is in anything other than Japanese. If you can put up with this absence and you appreciate black and white views of the stuff of man-made Japan, this book is for you.
Please also see our extended gallery of images from Zaisyo. Signed copies of the book itself are available in the Japan Exposures Bookstore.

Paris Photo: November 13 – 16
November 12, 2008 Kurt	Leave a comment
This year's Paris Photo photography fair gets under way tomorrow and you'd have to live under a rock not to know that this year the fair has selected Japan as it's "foreign scene" of focus.
Indeed, talking with various people this past week, you have to wonder what Japanese photographer is NOT going to Paris. Even those who have no books to sign or photos to show will be going to soak in the limelight of attention as Japan's rich and vibrant photographic history and current scene are displayed for the denizens of Paris to see (although according to the press information, 40% of the anticipated 40,000 visitors are expected to come from outside France).
Mariko Takeuchi is the guest curator for the Japan spotlight, and you can read her overview of Japanese photography over at Lens Culture.
If you're not going to Paris but would like to drool along with me and lots of other folks who won't be going, I recommend taking a look at pages 8 – 22 of the Press Kit .pdf which gives a pretty thorough rundown of anything and everything connected with Japan on display or view. Particularly intriguing are the Project Room which will present a series of contemporary videos by Japanese photographers — such as a DVD copy of a 8mm film shot by Daido Moriyama in Shinjuku in 1973 — and the Central Exhibition which aims to highlight the central role of the photo book to Japanese photography and features five Japanese publishers like Seigensha and Tosei-sha.
Speaking of books, here's something that will really make photography and photography book lovers drool: a list of scheduled book signings (.pdf) taking place over the four days. Of course Japanese photographers are healthily represented, but signers also include William Klein, Alec Soth, and Stephen Shore.

PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. – Reinforcing Port Manatee's dynamic role as Southwest Florida's port, officials of the Manatee County seaport look forward to collaborating with Charlotte County counterparts in bringing more business and jobs to the region.
Enthusiasm was expressed as Port Manatee leadership shared an update on the multimodal trade and transportation hub with members of the Charlotte County Board of County Commissioners on Oct. 27.
Whitmore was joined for the Charlotte County Board of County Commissioners meeting by John Chappie, the authority board's second vice chairman; port authority members Robin DiSabatino and Charles B. Smith; Carlos Buqueras, executive director of Port Manatee; Dave Sanford, Port Manatee's deputy executive director; Virginia Zimmermann, the port's marketing and public relations manager; and Jennifer Cowan, the port's legal counsel.
A week earlier, Port Manatee reported that it handled 83 percent more containerized cargo units in the fiscal year ended Sept. 30 than in the preceding 12-month period while continuing to add to its prominence in other key cargo sectors.
Located "Where Tampa Bay Meets the Gulf of Mexico," Port Manatee is the closest U.S. deepwater seaport to the expanding Panama Canal, with 10 40-foot-draft berths serving container, bulk, breakbulk, heavylift, project and general cargo customers. The port generates more than $2.3 billion in annual economic impact for the local community, while supporting more than 24,000 jobs, without levying ad-valorem taxes.
Sharing an update with the Charlotte County Board of County Commissioners on Port Manatee's dynamic role as Southwest Florida's port are, from left, Carlos Buqueras, the port's executive director; Dave Sanford, the port's deputy executive director; and Carol Whitmore, who chairs the Manatee County Port Authority.

HomeBasketballWhat will Syracuse basketball's starting lineup look like in 2017-18?
What will Syracuse basketball's starting lineup look like in 2017-18?
With Taurean Thompson out, what does Syracuse basketball's starting lineup look like? Let's take a deeper dive below.
Tyus Battle: If Syracuse is going to continue its streak of first round picks in the NBA Draft, Battle is the most likely candidate. Battle averaged 11.3 points last season, and became a key cog of SU's lineup down the stretch. The question is not if Battle starts, but where he starts.
Geno Thorpe: The graduate transfer can play both guard positions and led USF last season in points (15.1) and assists (4.6). He'll carry a huge part of the offensive burden much in the same way that Andrew White did as a grad transfer from Nebraska. Like Battle, it's not a question of if he'll start, but where.
Paschal Chukwu: Though Chukwu was a non-factor for Syracuse last season after suffering a freak eye injury, and the coaching staff seems hopeful that Chukwu will be a Baye Moussa Keita type player with more of an offensive game. You can't teach length, and Chukwu at 7'2″ has plenty of it. You could've made the argument for Chukwu coming off the bench with Thompson still at SU. But with Thompson gone, it's hard to imagine Chukwu not starting.
» Related: With departure of Taurean Thompson, will Syracuse basketball use three-guard offense?
Frank Howard: After a promising freshman year off the bench, Howard took a step back last season. Some of that can be attributed to a middle-body injury that required offseason surgery. He lost his starting job to Jon Gillon last season, but he is the most seasoned pure point guard returning to the team.
Oshae Brissett: Tyler Lydon's departure opened up a large amount of playing time, and Brissett seems to be the biggest beneficiary at wing. He's considered one of the best players from Canada, and we all know how well that worked out for SU with Kris Joseph and Tyler Ennis.
Marek Dolezaj: The 6-9 forward was one of the most prolific scorers at the FIBA Under-20 European Championships, posting 16.9 points per game. He also stuffed the stat sheet with 4.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.1 blocks per game.
Matt Moyer: During his redshirt year, Moyer worked on his shooting stroke and vastly improved his strength. He'll be among the names considered to start at wing.
I envision two different kinds of lineups that Jim Boeheim will choose between.
Thorpe at 6'4″ would be the smallest player on the court, and handle point guard responsibilities. The 6'6″ Battle and Brissett will take the 2/3 spots, leaving the rangy Dolezaj and Chukwu at the 4/5. Talk about length in the zone.
This lineup shifts Battle to the wing in a three-guard lineup, with Brissett at 6'6″ playing power forward. A swap of Howard for Dolezaj gives the Orange more quickness around the perimeter, and also better outside shooting (Dolezaj shot just 25 percent from distance in the U-20 FIBA Championships).
To be sure, losing Thompson's length, athleticism and scoring ability hurts Syracuse in the upcoming season. But that also allows Boeheim to get his younger players more experience heading into the 2018-19 season, with five-star recruit Darius Bazley set to come to SU.

Labor Code: what amendments were made for the "remote" employees
26 November 2020, 15:49Society
The State Duma in the second reading approved the bill on remote work. The "right to offline" was excluded from it, but the possibility of dismissal was introduced if the employee did not contact his superiors for more than two days.
Secretary of the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Russia (FITU) Oleg Sokolov noted that all articles of the Labor Code should apply to all employees - and remote ones too. "Moreover, prior to the bill for teleworkers, the ground for dismissal could have been written down in the employment contract. If ordinary workers are subject to the order of dismissal only under the relevant articles of the Labor Code, then a teleworker could be fired simply because he has a record in his employment contract that he must do something that is not obliged. Now this discriminatory norm has been removed", - Sokolov said in an interview with Sputnik radio.
Lika Syukiyainen, a lawyer at recruiting company Hays, says the bill will reinforce the relationship between employee and employer during the coronavirus pandemic. At the same time, many issues were not previously settled, including the possibility of combining remote work and work in the office, various aspects of labor protection and the procedure for exchanging documents.
Syukiyainen believes that the adoption of the bill will lead to transparency in working relations and will have a positive impact on both sides, reducing the number of controversial situations. Among the advantages for the employee, the lawyer noted:
clear regulation of the terms for obtaining original documents at the request of the employee;
regulation of possible business trips;
securing the employer's obligation to compensate the employee for expenses when using his own equipment;
consolidation of the fact that telework cannot be the basis for a reduction in wages.
"As pitfalls, I would single out, firstly, the issue of labor protection, provided that the periods of the employee performing the labor function remotely and the periods of performing the labor function at the stationary workplace alternate. The amount of reasonable compensation for the use of personal equipment by the employee also remains open, "explained Syukiyainen.
She also called the document exchange process a controversial point. According to the lawyer, a transitional period is necessary, since the use of electronic digital signatures is not yet commonplace.
"Even such pitfalls can be the payment of overtime when working outside of working hours and evidence of such overtime, as well as the procedure for dismissal: since, of course, when the employee is removed from work, the control factor on the part of the employer decreases for objective reasons, and therefore the collection of a block of evidence for the employer in disputes the dismissal will be complicated", - added a specialist recruiting company.
Let us recall that the innovations, if the bill is adopted, will come into force on January 1, 2021. The need for changes is associated with the spread of the coronavirus, since "Russian labor legislation was not ready for the massive transfer of workers to remote work".

The Ford Expedition was first introduced over two decades ago as a replacement for the shorter two-door Bronco. Over the years, Ford's largest SUV has stuck to the same formula while gaining some notable improvements along the way, like an independent rear suspension, connectivity technology, and more recently an EcoBoost engine. For the 2018 model year, the Dearborn-based carmaker will go even further and bring its full-size SUV into the next decade.
Before we talk about its all-new styling, the biggest news here is the adoption of an all-aluminum alloy body construction like the F-150. It rides on a revised high-strength steel chassis that retains the four-wheel independent suspension. The shift to lighter materials has allowed Ford to trim the large SUV's curb weight by up to 136kg despite its increased dimensions.
Its designers went for a cleaner, more refined design, erasing any traces of its late-'90s predecessor. Up front it ditches the bold truck face in favor of a more streamlined front that features a more integrated grille and headlight design. The sides have been freed of plastic cladding and wheel arch trims for a neater look, and a crisp character line runs along the sides giving it a touch of class.
The rear receives larger taillights and a more sculpted tailgate reminiscent of the Explorer's. Traditional Ford SUV styling cues like the broad body-colored C-pillars and blacked-out D-pillars are retained. Inside it gets a more modern-looking F-150-style dashboard, and a rotary gearshift dial frees up console space. Access to the third row has been made easier thanks to the tip-and-slide feature for the second row seats.
The new Expedition features a lengthy list of tech features including SYNC 3, SYNC Connect, wireless charging and a WiFi hotspot. Its blind spot information system, lane-keeping aid, and adaptive cruise control keep driving safer, while its enhanced active park assist and available 360-degree camera make parking this big SUV easier.
Under the hood is Ford's venerable 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, now with standard auto start-stop, and mated to an all-new class-leading 10-speed automatic transmission. The carmaker hasn't disclosed any power figures but says it will get a bump in power.
In North America, it will continue to be offered with 2WD and Intelligent 4WD with Terrain Management System. The Expedition will be offered in four trim levels in the US: XLT, Limited, Platinum and the fleet exclusive XL—all can be had in standard wheelbase or extended wheelbase form now dubbed "Expedition Max".
The all-new 2018 Expedition will reach US showrooms in late 2017. It's still too early to tell when we'll get it here, but hopefully Ford Philippines won't make us wait too long.

Harris pays tribute to Wilkins
Millwall boss Neil Harris has praised Ray Wilkins as a 'fantastic football man' following the passing of the former Lions Assistant Manager on Wednesday afternoon.
Wilkins, 61, made four appearances for the club in the latter part of his playing career and alongside Dennis Wise steered the club to its first-ever FA Cup Final in 2004.
Writing in his programme notes ahead of Saturday's Sky Bet Championship game against Bristol City, Harris said: "It was with huge sadness that I learned of the passing of Ray Wilkins on Wednesday afternoon. Dave Livermore and I played under Ray during that incredible run to the FA Cup Final in 2004 and he really was a fantastic football man who we both had the utmost respect for.
"He had enjoyed a tremendous playing career, and as a coach his knowledge and understanding of the game was second to none. It was a great privilege to have known and worked with Ray. He will be sadly missed."

Q: Hadoop difficultie with composite key I'm using Hadoop to analyze GSOD data (ftp://ftp.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/gsod/).
I chose 5 years to executed my experiments (2005 - 2009).
I've configured a little cluster and executed a simple MapReduce program that gets the maximum temperature registered for a year.
Now I have to create a new MR program that counts for each station all the phenomena occurences all those years.
The files that I have to analyze have this structure:
STN--- ...  FRSHTO
722115      110001
722115      011001
722110      111000
722110      001000
722000      001000

The column STN means the station code and FRSHTT means the phenomena:
F - Fog, R - Rain or drizzle, S - Snow or ice pellets, H - Hail, T - Thunder, O - Tornado or funnel cloud.
The value 1, means that this phenomenun occured at that day; 0, means not ocurred.
I need to find results like following:
722115: F = 1, R = 2, S = 1, O = 2
722110: F = 1, R = 1, S = 2
722000: S = 1

I could run the MR program but the results are wrong, giving me these results:
722115 F, 1
722115 R, 1
722115 R, 1
722115 S, 1
722115 O, 1
722115 O, 1
722110 F, 1
722110 R, 1
722110 S, 1
722110 S, 1
722000 S, 1

I have used these codes:
Mapper.java
public class Mapper extends org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Mapper<LongWritable, Text, StationPhenomenun, IntWritable> {
@Override
protected void map(LongWritable key, Text value, org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Mapper.Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
    String line = value.toString();
    // Every file starts with a field description line, so, I ignore this line
    if (!line.startsWith("STN---")) {
        // First field of the line means the station code where data was collected
        String station = line.substring(0, 6);
        String fog = (line.substring(132, 133));
        String rainOrDrizzle = (line.substring(133, 134));
        String snowOrIcePellets = (line.substring(134, 135));
        String hail = (line.substring(135, 136));
        String thunder = (line.substring(136, 137));
        String tornadoOrFunnelCloud = (line.substring(137, 138));

        if (fog.equals("1"))
            context.write(new StationPhenomenun(station,"F"), new IntWritable(1));
        if (rainOrDrizzle.equals("1"))
            context.write(new StationPhenomenun(station,"R"), new IntWritable(1));
        if (snowOrIcePellets.equals("1"))
            context.write(new StationPhenomenun(station,"S"), new IntWritable(1));
        if (hail.equals("1"))
            context.write(new StationPhenomenun(station,"H"), new IntWritable(1));
        if (thunder.equals("1"))
            context.write(new StationPhenomenun(station,"T"), new IntWritable(1));
        if (tornadoOrFunnelCloud.equals("1"))
            context.write(new StationPhenomenun(station,"O"), new IntWritable(1));
    }
}
}

Reducer.java
public class Reducer extends org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Reducer<StationPhenomenun, IntWritable, StationPhenomenun, IntWritable> {

protected void reduce(StationPhenomenun key, Iterable<IntWritable> values, org.apache.hadoop.mapreduce.Reducer.Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
int count = 0;
    for (IntWritable value : values) {
        count++;
    }

    String station = key.getStation().toString();
    String occurence = key.getPhenomenun().toString();

    StationPhenomenun textPair = new StationPhenomenun(station, occurence);
    context.write(textPair, new IntWritable(count));
}
}

StationPhenomenum.java
public class StationPhenomenun implements WritableComparable<StationPhenomenun> {
private String station;
private String phenomenun;
public StationPhenomenun(String station, String phenomenun) {
    this.station = station;
    this.phenomenun = phenomenun;
}
public StationPhenomenun() {
}
public String getStation() {
    return station;
}
public String getPhenomenun() {
    return phenomenun;
}
@Override
public void readFields(DataInput in) throws IOException {
    station = in.readUTF();
    phenomenun = in.readUTF();
}
@Override
public void write(DataOutput out) throws IOException {
    out.writeUTF(station);
    out.writeUTF(phenomenun);
}
@Override
public int compareTo(StationPhenomenun t) {
    int cmp = this.station.compareTo(t.station);
    if (cmp != 0) {
        return cmp;
    }
    return this.phenomenun.compareTo(t.phenomenun);
}
@Override
public boolean equals(Object obj) {
    if (obj == null) {
        return false;
    }
    if (getClass() != obj.getClass()) {
        return false;
    }
    final StationPhenomenun other = (StationPhenomenun) obj;
    if (this.station != other.station && (this.station == null || !this.station.equals(other.station))) {
        return false;
    }
    if (this.phenomenun != other.phenomenun && (this.phenomenun == null || !this.phenomenun.equals(other.phenomenun))) {
        return false;
    }
    return true;
}
@Override
public int hashCode() {
    return this.station.hashCode() * 163 + this.phenomenun.hashCode();
}
}

NcdcJob.java
public class NcdcJob {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
    Configuration conf = new Configuration();
    Job job = new Job(conf);
    job.setJarByClass(NcdcJob.class);
    FileInputFormat.addInputPath(job, new Path("/user/hadoop/input"));
    FileOutputFormat.setOutputPath(job, new Path("/user/hadoop/station"));
    job.setMapperClass(Mapper.class);
    job.setReducerClass(Reducer.class);
    job.setMapOutputKeyClass(StationPhenomenun.class);
    job.setMapOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class);
    job.setOutputKeyClass(StationPhenomenun.class);
    job.setOutputValueClass(IntWritable.class);
    System.exit(job.waitForCompletion(true) ? 0 : 1);
}
}

Has anyone done something similar?
PS.: I have tried this solution (Hadoop - composite key) but does not worked for me.

A: Just check if the following 2 classes matches towards your custom implementation.
 job.setMapperClass(Mapper.class);
 job.setReducerClass(Reducer.class);

I was able to get the desired result with the following changes
protected void map(LongWritable key, Text value, Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException {

protected void reduce(StationPhenomenun key, Iterable<IntWritable> values, Context context) throws IOException, InterruptedException {

Also changed the Class Names to MyMapper and MyReducer
722115,1,1,0,0,0,1
722115,0,1,1,0,0,1
722110,1,1,1,0,0,0
722110,0,0,1,0,0,0
722000,0,0,1,0,0,0

For this input set, I could get the following result
StationPhenomenun [station=722000, phenomenun=S]    1
StationPhenomenun [station=722110, phenomenun=F]    1
StationPhenomenun [station=722110, phenomenun=R]    1
StationPhenomenun [station=722110, phenomenun=S]    2
StationPhenomenun [station=722115, phenomenun=F]    1
StationPhenomenun [station=722115, phenomenun=O]    2
StationPhenomenun [station=722115, phenomenun=R]    2
StationPhenomenun [station=722115, phenomenun=S]    1

Computation is same, you just need to customize how the output is displayed.

Singin' in the Rain— SoS Jr.: The physics of sound
Dr. Daniel Davis, a member of Harvard University's Natural Sciences Lecture Demonstrations team, introduces this iconic film about the birth of "talking pictures" with some ear- and eye-popping demonstrations illustrating the physics of sound.

Film Synopsis
When Hollywood attempts the transition from silent films to talkies, a matinee idol hopes to make the cut. But he's hampered by a silent-movie queen with a voice like fingernails on a blackboard.
Gene Kelly, Debbie Reynolds and Donald O'Connor combine their talents in one of the greatest big-screen musicals ever made, a two-time Oscar nominee that includes the songs "Good Morning," "Make 'Em Laugh," and the iconic title tune.
When the transition is being made from silent films to `talkies', everyone in Hollywood has trouble adapting. Don and Lina are the movies' most popular romantic couple, but when their latest silent film is remade into a musical, only Don has the voice for it. After fruitless practice with a diction coach, Lina still sounds terrible. So Kathy, a bright, young aspiring actress, is hired to record over her voice. Will she take Lina's place as Don's leading lady, on screen and in real life?
Dr. Daniel Davis is a member of Harvard Natural Science Lecture Demonstrations, a team of physicists and chemists who develop, construct, and present demonstrations to supplement Harvard University lectures in physics, chemistry, astronomy, and biology. These demonstrations clarify and enhance the scientific concepts presented in lecture with visible, memorable, and sometimes mind-blowing effects. Before he joined the Harvard demonstration team in 2015, Dr. Davis was program manager for live presentations at Boston's Museum of Science.

Tuscaloosa garbage fees will increase
Adrienne Nettles Staff Writer
TUSCALOOSA | The first step in a 33 percent increase in the residential garbage collection rate will take effect next month in the city.
The city will phase in the rate increase over three years.
The commercial rate will go up 50 percent, also over three years.
The Tuscaloosa City Council unanimously approved the new rates during its meeting Thursday night.
Beginning Oct. 1, the residential rate, now $6, will increase to $7 per month for residential customers. Commercial customers, now paying $10 per month, will pay $14.
In October 2003, the residential and commercial rates will each increase by 50 cents, and both will rise by another 50 cents a year later, bringing the total to $8 per month for households and $15 per month for businesses.
"After surveying the county and other cities in the state, I think we still have the best bargain for our customers in the state," City Councilman Harrison Taylor said. "My constituents will probably be hit harder than anyone else, but it's a surge that's needed."
City Finance Director Mike Wright said the rate increases will reduce the amount the city allocates from the general fund each year to subsidize the cost of environmental services, which includes garbage and trash collection.
"The last three years, rates have been 38 percent of what we spend to collect [garbage and] trash," he said.
In 2000 and 2001 the city's Environmental Services Department had a $3.8 million budget. In both years, the city collected $1.5 million, or 39 percent of the Environmental Services budget, from residential and business customers.
The department's budget in 2002 increased to $4.2 million, but again the city collected less than half of that amount from garbage fees from its 20,000 residential and 2,000 business customers.
"It means we're only recovering 39 percent of our costs, but the rate increases will reduce the gap," Wright said.
The garbage rates include twice a week household garbage collection and one trash pickup each week.
"Some cities only get one pickup a week for higher rates," Wright said.
City Councilman Lee Garrison, chairman of the council's Finance Committee, which recommended the increased rates, said residents and business are still getting a huge discount on environmental services provided by the city, including recycling.
"When we were doing the [2002-03] city budget we looked at the expenditures versus revenue for trash collection," he said. "The city has been subsidizing trash collection by more than 60 percent."
The city's $74 million 2003 general fund budget that was adopted by the council on Tuesday appropriated $4.5 million for environmental services for the new fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1.
Garrison said that if the city were to charge customers the actual cost to provide environmental services, residents would pay around $20 a month for garbage and trash collection.
"We feel like $8 will be the only increase for a while and help us to offset the cost for the services by still giving customers a 60 percent discount," he said.
Garrison said the rate hike would also benefit customers in the future.
"The council is looking at trying [more] curbside recycling routes and this will help us do that," he said.
The new garbage and trash collection rates will appear on residential and commercial customer water bills on Oct. 1.

Post Office Closure Causing Backups
Plant Officials Say Processing, Delivery Slowed By Change
Updated: 10:25 AM EST Dec 13, 2011
As the U.S. Postal Service braces for more cuts and postal office closures, union workers said the shutdown of the mail distribution center in Frederick is already causing major backups at Baltimore's main post office.The Fredrick location closed on Nov. 19. That mail is now being transported to the main post office in Baltimore for processing and then shipped back to Frederick for delivery.While it's usually busy this time of year due to the holidays, postal worker and union officer Rich Shelley told 11 News that the Baltimore distribution center is chaotic."We've had an influx of mail, and it's simply way over the capacity of this plant," he said. "Mail is backed up. There are trucks blocking streets all over the place."Shelley claimed the changes due to the Frederick closure have caused significant delays."Mail is delayed to the point that there are loads of mail sitting in our yard that have been there for eight to 10 days. It never got to go in time," he said.Officials at the downtown Baltimore post office said the transition has been challenging but denied claims of widespread delays in delivery."If there were any issues with any of our customers, we've worked with them," said USPS Communications Coordinator Yvette Singh. "Although we're going through transition during this busy holiday season, we do have extra mail to process, but we're still processing that mail and providing excellent service."Postal service officials said the Baltimore processing center still scores above the national average, ranking 12th overall for delivery time.Meanwhile, postal worker unions are planning a rally to protest the closures on Dec. 20.
