This is a mixture of Thai spicy prawn salad and falang bread, to make a picnic sandwich with Thai flavours. For the photograph I let some of the filling spill out of the bread at the front for this photograph, so that you can see it clearly.
1. Clean the prawns, and dry fry for 30 seconds on each side to just cook them. It's easier to cook them in their shells.
2. Then remove the shells.
3. Chop all the salad vegetables, chillies and prawn and mix together with the lemon juice and fish sauce.
4. Spoon onto wholemeal bread and serve.
This looks great, I do love sandwiches!!
I wonder if you can help me,.

Mum-of-five branded 'worst neighbour ever' is booted out of home over garden rubbish and 'tramp' kids
Thomas Burrows
RESIDENTS of a street in Hull are celebrating after a mum-of-five branded "the worst neighbour ever" was told to leave her rented home for dumping rubbish in her garden.
Candy MacMillan, 32, is set to move out of her four-bed home after she was convicted of fly-tipping last week - to the delight of her neighbours.

The mum-of-five was fined £920 for failing to remove rubbish from her home.
Pictures of her messy garden were released by Hull City Council following the court hearing.
One of her neighbours, who said they were too scared to be named, told the Hull Daily Mail: "She is the worst neighbour ever, she is a nasty person and a real nightmare neighbour.
"She has called us names in the street and [last August] set fire to our garden fence while burning a sofa. It was very scary, no one told us, but everyone else had been evacuated.
"It made us cough and splutter when it was coming in through the windows. We didn't want to go outside."
They added: "Candy didn't even feed her six cats - we had to feed them for her - they were all skinny and starving.
"Her garden was scruffy and so was she. She kept clothes out on her line for about five days, even when it was raining - I bet it was really smelly.
"We feel like the authorities have wanted to get her out for a while - she's horrible, it was a relief when she had to move."

However the mum-of-five has hit back claiming she was the "victim" after her neighbours "turned on her".
She said: "They welcomed me in with open arms, but they turned on me. They said that my kids were tramps, but they always had baths.
"It all started when someone set my garden fence on fire and they blamed me. I wasn't even there - I was at the park with my kids.
"I'm the victim in this story - I've been assaulted and I'm scared to leave the house."
Candy has now told Sanctuary Housing, which owns the property, that she will move out within the next four weeks.
She added: "I wasn't kicked out, I've asked to leave. I've been threatened and punched and kicked - I'm the real victim here."
Sanctuary Housing has been approached for a comment.

Panto ready to start climbing the green shoots of recovery
Picture by Mark Wakefield
Rob George 10th Jan, 2022
A LONG-SERVING member of Norton Theatre Group will mark more than three decades since she first trod the boards at the age of six by directing this year's pantomime.
The group will return after a year of isolation with the classic tale of Jack and The Beanstalk.
Thanks to her sons' dodgy deal involving a cow and a handful of beans, Dame Tilly Trott has a huge beanstalk in the front garden of her house in the village of Snuggerly Bottom. What's more, her dodgy landlord wants his rent.
How can our heroes get rich quick, and can they save Jack's girlfriend from the evil clutches of the hungry, grumpy giant?
Once again, written by their resident scriptwriter Chris Bennion and produced by group founder Les Simms with the help of long-time member Sara Lattey, the group are back and keen to get back in front of an audience after a year off.
"It's been tough for everyone the past couple of years but we are so excited to be able to get back to doing what we love, entertaining people," said Sara.
The groups future was in doubt recently after several key members announced their retirement, but with an influx of new cast and crew volunteers, there is a whole new energy and determination to put on a tremendously funny and entertaining pantomime.
And directing the pantomime is long time member Sarah Bennion, who first trod the Norton stage some 32 years ago.
"I am so excited to be directing for the first time. We have a wonderful script and a fantastic cast which make my job easier. I am loving it, so far. We have some great songs, the young chorus are doing amazingly well and rehearsals are so much fun," she said.
"Of course, we are very aware of people's feelings about social distancing and being safe, which is why we will be taking precautions and being aware of government guidelines. Hand and furniture sanitiser, masks when moving about, temperature checks and we are advising all our cast, crew and guests to take an LFT before they join us."
Jack and the Beanstalk is being performed at Norton Parish Hall, Littleworth, Worcester, WR5 2QB from Thursday, January 13 to Saturday, January 15.
Tickets are £8 for adults and £5 for children and OAPs.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA June 21, 2017 In the wake of the devastating WannaCry ransomware attack, ZingBox, a leading Internet of Things (IoT) security solution provider, is offering recommendations to the healthcare industry on how to best protect itself from the newest potential threat originating from 'Hidden Cobra'.
HHS's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) recently issued a cyber notice to the healthcare industry about a potential threat to critical infrastructure sectors, such as healthcare, by a malicious cyber group called Hidden Cobra, also known as Lazarus Group suspected to be behind the WannaCry attack. The threat relates to the same type of vulnerability that allowed WannaCry to spread. Importantly, simply installing Microsoft patches will not necessarily protect from Hidden Cobra since they use a wide range of vulnerabilities. And despite Microsoft releasing several patches, the vulnerabilities exploited do not only apply to Microsoft OS. Software such as Silverlight, Adobe Flash and Hangul Word Processor are also exploited by this threat actor.
"Although many of the affected vulnerabilities are more commonly found on devices with browsers, infection of just one such device can cause a new wave of attacks against connected medical devices," said Xu Zou, CEO and Co-founder of ZingBox. "ZingBox recommends healthcare organizations ensure no browsers are used on connected medical devices move PCs to non-IoT device networks."
To assist the many organizations struggling with the successful navigation and management of their security vulnerabilities, ZingBox is offering their SaaS-based IoT Security solution at no cost to healthcare organizations for a limited time use. "We have been contacted by many healthcare organizations since the WannaCry outbreak. We are making a commitment to assist these organization gain the much-needed visibility and security of their IoT environment with no strings attached," said Xu Zou.
IoT Guardian, ZingBox's SaaS-based security solution, leverages machine learning to discover, assess risk, baseline normal behavior, detect anomalous activities and provide real-time remediation across an organization's entire IoT footprint. The patent-pending solution has a deep grasp of each IoT device's personality, analyzing communication to and from every device, watching constantly for deviations in behavior and providing alerts for suspicious behavior.

Enabling the Internet of Trusted Things, ZingBox provides hospitals, companies and manufacturing facilities with Internet of Things (IoT) security software that helps ensure service delivery. ZingBox's new approach is based on Deep Learning and enforcement of trusted behavior. Founded by Silicon Valley veterans with expertise in cybersecurity, IoT, Deep Learning, and networking, ZingBox was selected by the Stanford StartX program, was named one of NetworkWorld's hottest security startups, and was most recently named a "Cool Vendor in IOT Security, 2017" by Gartner For more information, visit www.zingbox.com .

Taapsee Pannu is on cloud nine. She has just returned from the Toronto Film Festival where her new film Manmarziyaan was received with warm appreciation. "This was my first international film festival. And it was overwhelming. I guess my director Anurag Kashyap is a regular at film festivals. But for me it was a novel experience," says Taapsee happily.


One Earth Future's Secure Fisheries program today announced the creation of the Fisheries Conflict Research Consortium (FCRC) to investigate the causes and consequences of fisheries conflict and answer key questions relating to fisheries conflict, marine resource sustainability, and national security.
The FCRC is led by OEF's Secure Fisheries program and includes members from Marine Management Solutions, Oregon State University, Paul G. Allen Philanthropies, Stimson Center, Texas A&M, University of British Columbia's Global Fisheries Cluster, University of Denver, University of Connecticut, University of Rhode Island, and University of Wollongong. The consortium is an output of a symposium hosted by Secure Fisheries in November to better guide policy interventions and reduce the likelihood of fisheries conflict in the future.

Q: Regex backreference to be equal for inputs: 'UserProfile' and 'user-profile' I'm using Tabs Studio to group my tabs in Visual Studio. I'm having difficulties finding the correct regular expression to group my tabs using the conventions I've used.
It works using two named backreferences. It groups tabs that have a matching <Name> and allows you to select the different <Ext>. The problem is, here are the files I'd like to be grouped:

*

*UserProfileController.cs

*UserProfileViewModel.cs

*UserProfile.cshtml

*user-profile.js

*user-profile.less

So far, I've got an expression that matches the first 3 and last 2 into two separate groups.
(?<Name>(.*[/\\])?.+?)(?<Ext>(ViewModel|Controller)?\..+)

The problem is manipulating the output of the backreference. The comparison is case-insensitive anyway, so all I really need to do is remove the - from the backreference output. Is this possible?
Note: I've put this on StackOverflow as, at its heart, it's a RegEx question, though its purpose for me is very specific. I'm not too confident about this, so please let me know if you think this belongs somewhere else.

A: I emailed TabsStudio's support asking if there was a way I could do this within the addon. To my surprise, after a couple of emails, they implemented this feature! It is possible as of v3.1.5, released 28 Oct 2013.
The new feature allows multiple capture groups with the same name to be concatenated into one string.
My Expression:
(?<Path>(.*[/\\])*)(?<Ext>_?)(?<Name>.+)(?<Ext>\.cshtml)|(?<Name>.+?)(?<Ext>(ViewModel|Model|Controller|Helper|Utilities)?\.cs)|(?<Ext>_?)((?<Name>.+)-)*(?<Name>.*)(?<Ext>(\.min)?\.(js|less|css))|(?<Name>(.*[/\\])?.+?)(?<Ext>\..+)

Explanation:

*

*(?<Path>(.*[/\\])*)(?<Ext>_?)(?<Name>.+)(?<Ext>\.cshtml)|

*

*_UserProfile.cshtml

*UserProfile.cshtml
Matches my Razor views. I prefix my partial views and layouts with an underscore. I omit the path here because I tend not to call my views Index.cshtml as I've always thought it was ambiguous.

*(?<Name>.+?)(?<Ext>(ViewModel|Model|Controller|Helper|Utilities)?\.cs)|

*

*UserProfileController.cs

*UserProfileViewModel.cs

*UserProfileUtilities.cs
Matches various suffixes of C# code files. This could of course be extended to include others, such as Wrapper, Extensions, Factory, etc.

*(?<Ext>_?)((?<Name>.+)-)*(?<Name>.*)(?<Ext>(\.min)?\.(js|less|css))|

*

*user-profile.js

*user-profile.min.css

*_user-profile.less
Matches styles and scripts. The underscore is prepended to the extension because I use it to prefix any .less files that are never requested directly (such as _mixins.less).

*(?<Name>(.*[/\\])?.+?)(?<Ext>\..+)

*

*UserProfile.resx
A general fallback regex. This is the default in TabsStudio.
I hope this helps someone!

A: I have no idea about tab studio, I only know about RegEx
If there is always only one "-" in the file name
You can separate the file name in two parts.
The regex will be like this
(?<Name1>([^-]*[/\\])?[^-]+?)-?(?<Name2>[^-]+?)(?<Ext>(ViewModel|Controller)?\..+)

to remove the "-" in the file name, your back ref will look like this:
${Name1}${Name2}${Ext}

This week we focus on Dickinson's metrical forms to determine the rhythm of her poetry. Despite some popular notions that all of Dickinson's poetry can be sung to the tune of "Mary had a Little Lamb," readers find her forms varied and the effects she achieves transgressive. We also explore the relationship between the meter of Dickinson and the poets she read.

Dickinson's "Microscopic Meter"
It's easy to get caught up in the entrancing language, images, themes in Dickinson's work, and gloss over the forms in which they are embodied and the sheer music of her poetry. This week we get down to the nitty-gritty of Dickinson's metrical forms, considering prosody (poetry's patterns of rhythm and sound) and scansion (marking the stresses or beats in a line of poetry to determine its rhythm). For further explanation, see "scansion made easy." Often, the forms of the poems are crucial in making their meanings. English poet Ted Hughes refers to Dickinson's "microscopic meter," suggesting that it achieves its effects by tiny, subtle shifts, but shifts that magnify the development of meaning. We will look closely at these weighty details.
Despite some popular notions that all of Dickinson's poetry can be sung to the tune of "Mary had a Little Lamb," readers find her forms varied and the effects she achieves transgressive – more so, for some, than the obvious formal innovations of Whitman. Cristanne Miller has studied Dickinson's forms intensively and in the context of the metrical practices of her contemporaries. She finds that Dickinson composed in terms of the stanza, and that studying her use of stanzas in the Fascicles reveals patterns that
suggest that Dickinson thinks of her poems in terms of formal patterns in addition to or rather than in thematic clusters.
Miller treats the fascicles as Dickinson's "fair copies," but Dickinson revised continuously and there are often different formal versions of poems. For a competing view, see Susan Howe, Jerome McGann and others who read Dickinson's texts as "visually intentional" with important "graphemic" elements such as word spacing, length of dashes and handwriting.
Given Dickinson's wide reading, her familiarity with the metaphysical poets, John Donne and George Herbert, her adored Shakespeare, Keats, Wordsworth and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, she had the Western metrical tradition at her fingertips. Still, she avoided the meter that predominated among these poets and dominates English verse – iambic pentameter (a ten syllable line made up of five "feet," a 2 syllable unit with a rising rhythm of unstressed/stressed syllables). Unrhymed iambic pentameter (called "blank verse") is the meter of Shakespeare's plays, of Milton's Paradise Lost, Wordsworth's The Prelude and Barrett Browning's long poem, Aurora Leigh, which was a favorite of Dickinson's. Dickinson used this meter sparingly and adapted it strategically, as in the first line of "After great pain, a formal feeling comes," to render the "formality" of numbness and then show its disintegration.
Rather, Dickinson wrote the majority of her poems in the hymn's form of common meter, also known in secular terms as "the ballad measure." This shorter form served her desire to work in a communal idiom and her need for concision and compression. Some feminist scholars argue that this was a conscious decision on her part to reject the poetic norms of a patriarchal culture. Others counter that such decisions are not always fully conscious.
Isaac Watts, 1674-1748
Growing up in a Congregational household in a predominantly Puritan community and attending church every week until she stopped when she was around thirty, Dickinson was steeped in the Protestant hymn tradition, epitomized by the English hymnist, Isaac Watts.
Dickinson's mother owned a copy of Watts' Hymns and the household had his Church Psalmody and Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs.
In several poems Dickinson quotes or echoes Watts and rewrites him, often in playful or ironic ways, using his familiar devotional rhythms as counterpoint for some of her more radical and skeptical notions about God, faith and salvation.
But she was also deeply influenced by the ballad tradition, an older, looser and more imaginative narrative form that had been revived in the 18th century and deeply influenced the British Romantic poets. Because hymns were written to be sung communally to a handful of familiar tunes, they needed to be more regular, while ballads were more metrically inventive and meant for popular consumption.
The first bestseller in Puritan New England drew from this tradition: The Day of Doom by the Reverend Michael Wigglesworth, published in 1662, consisted of two hundred and twenty four stanzas narrating the Last Judgment and its theology. The bouncing rhythm of its meter (called "fourteeners," or lines of 8 and 6 syllables) made it easy to memorize. Into the nineteenth-century, many elderly folks could be found in New England still reciting it from memory.
Dickinson used several versions of hymn form, as we will see, but she especially relished the looser form of the ballad measure. She also sometimes abandoned regular or recognizable form altogether, writing a form of free verse, which might have been influenced by Whitman and seeing parts of the King James Bible lineated as verse.
We will get into the details of her verse form in the discussion of the poems for this week. In our section on history, we highlight the kinds of poems Dickinson would have come across in her newspaper and journal reading for the week.
"Badinage and the Ball Room, Bonnets and Bouquets."
The Springfield Republican, February 8, Review of the Week: "The status quo continues. The story of the week is soon told. Inaction and suspense everywhere … an embargo of mud and water all along the line, which only days – it may be weeks – of sunshine and wind can raise. … The news from the South is still of the same tenor. The disaffection and reaction increase … The tone of the English press is becoming more pacific. …
Jesse D. Bright, 1812-1875
The best thing that has been done in Congress during the week is the expulsion of Jesse D. Bright of Indiana, from the Senate, for treasonable correspondence with the enemy."
From Washington: "The gay dance which is to come off to-night at the White House produces much talk and considerable indignation among the members of Congress," especially at this time of military inaction.
A column titled "Opportunities:"
…life has nobler opportunities that those of making money, or even spending it in gorgeous display. The present times give opportunity for self-sacrifice, for sorrow relieved and loss endured and temptation spurned. There sits a lady in our land to whom the fates have granted a possibility not open to one woman in a century, the privilege to lead the feminine loyalty of America, to bless with the charm of her sex and station the camp of the volunteer and the ward of the hospital, to pledge her fair hand, more honored than honoring, to all these womanly benignities that soften the horrors of war, to frown with severely truthful eye upon the shameless panderers to treachery and greed, and putting aside the ensnaring ties of a misguided kindred, to say truly to the hero of her choice,––"thy people shall be mine!" Such is the peerless opportunity, granted and lost. Such is the high privilege of winning a beautiful and enduring fame, a memory cherished in a nation's heart of hearts,––all overlooked and wasted, all bartered for badinage and the ball room, bonnets and bouquets.
On the Emancipation Question:
The experience of all these islands [the West Indies] teaches that to emancipate the negro is to advance him at one stride further on the road of civilization that a century of slavery could do.
A column titled "Reading the Bible in Schools" discusses the Massachusetts State legislature's consideration of this thorny question and finds that the Puritan majority feels
that the Catholic citizens of the state are not citizens in the full sense of the word, but interlopers, resident here by the sufferance of the Puritan majority, and having no claims to any larger share in the civil and social privileges of this community than the anti-Catholic majority may choose to concede to them.
The writer proposes a compromise and urges the passage of the act,
excusing all who have scruples on the subject … and let them institute measures for the preparation of a book of selections from the Scriptures which will be generally acceptable.
Original Poetry in The Springfield Republican: "Buried Memories" written in quatrains of 8686 syllables rhyming abab with some variations in the third line of 9 syllables, but fairly regular. Also, "The Soldier's Wife," written in quatrains of iambic tetrameter (8 syllable lines of 4 feet and beats, each with a rhythm of unstressed/stressed) rhyming abab, also very regular.
Hampshire Gazette: "From The Atlantic Monthly for February: 'Song of the Negro Boatmen'" by J. G. W. [John Greenleaf Whittier, an outspoken abolitionist], set in Port Royal, Jamaica, and written in black dialect, 12 line stanzas of three quatrains of 8686 syllables rhyming abab cdcd, with a refrain in the third quatrain rhyming efgf, very regular. Also, notice the reference to the "day of doom" (here, the concept and probably not Wigglesworth's poem)!!
Oh, praise an' tanks! De Lord he come
To set the people free;
An' massa tink it day ob doom,
An' we ob jubilee.
De Lord dat heap de Red Sea waves
He jus' as 'trong as den;
He say the word: we las' night slaves;
To day, de Lord's freemen.
De yam will grow, de cotton blow,
We'll hab de rice an' corn:
Oh, nebber you fear, if nebber you hear
De driver blow his horn!
"Glimpses of Other Worlds"
Hampshire Gazette, February 10, 1862, Amherst College:
The first in our series of "home-made" lectures was delivered by Rev. Dr. Hitchcock, last Thursday evening… the lecturer's subject was, "Glimpses of the Geology and Habitability of other Worlds. Many astounding facts with reference to the Universe in which we dwell were developed, and some exceedingly ingenious and plausible theories touching the condition of the worlds around us were put forth.
Edward Hitchcock (1793-1864) was a geologist, professor and later president of Amherst College, and friend of the Dickinson family. His many books on geology tried to reconcile science and Scriptures, and he was a strong influence on Dickinson. In a letter to Higginson from early 1877, Dickinson wrote,
When flowers annually died and I was a child, I used to read Dr Hitchcock's Book on the Flowers of North America. This comforted their Absence – assuring me they lived"(L488).

As a poet myself, I have learned that Emily Dickinson's poems should be approached with the greatest caution. We are blown away by their power, and captivated by what looks like their elegant simplicity. Elegant they absolutely are: simple they most certainly are not. We soon find this out when we attempt to write "in the style of…" My own attempts in this direction are something with which I could be blackmailed for very large sums. The delicacy and subtlety of her rhyme schemes and her metrics are extraordinarily complex, and imitations of Dickinson's style in less able hands have an alarming tendency to turn into unfortunate Tiddly-Pum verse.
That said: there is something about her use of ballad meter that I find powerfully seductive. Somehow it reminds me of the powerful ebb and flow of the hymns of my Southern childhood. The following poem isn't written in ballad meter, but I've tried to capture a similar effect here:
My cousin Martha and I go crabbing.
She holds the string, I dip the net.
We don't talk much. Two solemn pigtailed girls
intent upon our task. Heat beats down.
In the distance, Uncle John floats
out on the waves, spreads out X-shaped,
buoyed up by tractor tire. The waves go
hush hush hush against the shore.
The beach house is made of timber.
No running water. Aunt Mary boils and scrubs and cleans,
raises an eyebrow when my flighty mama
says to cousin Stevie let's go fish.
Mama's voice is low and sweet,
thick Mississippi honey. She and Stevie,
pirates both, conspirators.
They go out to the jetty, bait their hooks,
sit down to wait, legs dangling low.
Stevie, silent, straightens, motions to my Mama,
points to his bending pole.
We strain to hear their voices
but the words are indistinct.
She puts her arm around his shoulders,
helps him reel in a silver squirming fish.
His grin could light the sky.
I don't know if I believe
in a Heaven full of wings and harps,
But if the Hereafter does exist,
I imagine it will be
Grand Isle with Uncle Johnny floating,
Aunt Mary bustling,
Martha and me crabbing
Mama and Steve, two pirates fishing.

Adalberto Muller says:
Great post. In fact, Cris Miller's study of ED prosody is comprehensive (especially in her second book, READING IN TIME). T.H. Johnson has also studied ED prosody intensively. Some people also argue that she might be influenced by popular songs, including negro spirituals. I like this idea, because it makes ED a precursor of the blues and jazz. One can find interesting parallels between her "broken grammar" – dashes, ellipses etc – and syncope. I use this on my translation to Brazilian Portuguese, because Brazilian music – and poetry – is marked by syncope (i.e., by African rhythms).
Ivy Schweitzer says:
Fascinating. On Dickinson as a precursor to blues and jazz, she was apparently quite the improvisor on the piano!

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Terminal Automation Market by Offering (Hardware (SCADA, PLC, Security System, Field Devices, Tank Loading Area), Software & Services), Project Type (Brownfield, and Greenfield), Vertical and Geography - Global Forecast to 2022" report to their offering.
The terminal automation market was valued at US$3.82 billion in 2016 and is expected to reach US$5.21 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 5.15% between 2017 and 2022. Some of the major driving factors for the growth of the market are the adherence to environmental and safety regulations and the increasing investment for upgrading brownfield terminal infrastructure in North America. However, the drop in crude oil prices acts as a major restraint for the market.
The market for software & services is expected to grow at a higher rate during the forecast period due to the increasing demand for automating solutions to improve the operational efficiency of terminals and make them more efficient.
Brownfield terminal projects are expected to hold a major share of the terminal automation market in the coming years as traditional terminal infrastructures – such as pipeline connections, tanker berths, high-tech LNG storage tanks, roads, and other components – already exist. Therefore, the automation of such existing terminals would help to increase the number of brownfield projects and also increase overall productivity by executing operations methodically, thus conserving both time and energy.
The terminal automation market in APAC is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period.


NEW YORK – Aug. 14, 2014 – The porch is making a triumphant return decades after it began fading from the U.S. architectural landscape. The Census Bureau reports that 63 percent of new single-family homes completed last year had porches – an increase from 42 percent two decades earlier.
"The wealthier we feel, and the more feature-rich we desire our homes to be, the more likely they are to have a porch," says Ed Hudson, marketing research director of the National Association of Home Builders' Home Innovation Research Labs.
The return of the porch also indicates a desire for social connection, says Robert A.M. Stern, dean of the Yale School of Architecture. Stern made porches the hallmark of homes in Celebration, Fla., the master-planned community he helped design for the Walt Disney Company in the late 1990s. His contention is that a porch "friendlies up the house."
In the luxury-housing niche, meanwhile, porches are being designed as fully functional outdoor rooms that feature everything from built-in speakers to solar and wind-activated awnings. Cage-like screens have been replaced by fine mesh made of bronze or vinyl-coated aluminum.
Some homeowners are also installing radiant-heat panels in porch floors and ceilings to make them habitable even in the colder months. Even "decks" are being re-christened as "porches," particularly in high-end home design.

World Cup a chance to reboot Australia's love of Cricket
Source: Roy Morgan Single Source, April 2014 – March 2015, n=15,913, April 2018 – March 2019, n=14,722. Base: Australians 14+.
New research from Roy Morgan shows that over 7.2 million Australians, equivalent to 35% of the Australian population aged 14 or older, watch at least one form of Cricket on TV. However, although this is undoubtedly an impressive number it does represent a decline of almost 340,000 TV Cricket viewers since March 2015 when Australia hosted, and won, the 2015 Cricket World Cup.
Men's Test Cricket is the favoured form of Cricket watched by over 5.8 million Australians in the year to March 2019 just ahead of Men's One-Day International Cricket watched by 5.75 million.
Almost 5.2 million Australians now watch Twenty20 Cricket which includes Twenty20 Internationals and also the hugely successful Twenty20 Big Bash League that we profiled earlier this year – 'KFC hits it out of the park with Big Bash sponsorship' – February 8, 2019.
Roy Morgan began measuring viewership of Women's Cricket separately in January 2019 and we can report that there are already more than 2.8 million Australians who watch Women's Cricket. This includes viewership of Women's Test matches, Women's One-Day Internationals, Women's International Twenty20 and the Women's Big Bash League.
The research reveals that Cricket is most definitely a 'TV Sport' with the number of Australians playing Cricket in the year to March 2019 now at 974,000, down 22.3% points from the year to March 2015 when interest in the sport peaked with Australia hosting the World Cup. A closer analysis of monthly figures reveals Cricket participation bottomed in the latter half of 2018 in the wake of the 'ball-tampering' scandal and has since increased participation levels during the past six months.
Australians watching Cricket on TV and playing Cricket – March 2019 cf. March 2015
Core of TV Cricket audience in Australia are Baby Boomers and Generation X
Analysing viewers of Cricket on TV by Generation and Gender reveals that Australians in Generation X and the Baby Boomers comprise 55% of the TV audience for Cricket in Australia. Australians in these age groups were born between 1946-1975 and are now aged between 43-73 years old.
Unsurprisingly men comprise the majority of TV viewers of Cricket overall and in each generation. Over 4.5 million men (63% of TV viewers of Cricket) and more than 2.6 million women (37%) watch Cricket of one sort or another.
The TV viewership of Cricket is very strong amongst Baby Boomers, with 1.25 million men and over 750,000 women in this Generation watching cricket – more viewers than any other age group.
Numerically speaking Generation Y is only slightly smaller than Generation X however TV viewership of Cricket is significantly lower for Generation Y. Only 30% of Generation Y watch Cricket on TV compared to 40% of Generation X and the raw numbers illustrate this difference.
Australian Cricket watchers on TV by Generation & Gender – March 2019
Source: Roy Morgan Single Source, April 2018 – March 2019, n=14,722. Base: Australians 14+.
Michele Levine, CEO, Roy Morgan, says over 5.7 million Australians will be closely watching the fortunes of the Australian Cricket team at the Cricket World Cup in England on Foxtel, Kayo Sports and the Nine Network as they defend their title won in 2015:
"Cricket is big business in Australia with over 7.2 million Australians watching one form of Cricket or another including over 5.7 million that watch Men's One-Day International (ODI) Cricket. The Cricket World Cup which began late last week, is the pinnacle of ODI Cricket and Australia got off to a winning start with a 7 wicket victory over Afghanistan on the weekend.
"All games involving Australia, and all finals, are available to view on Nine Network channel 9Gem while the full tournament is accessible to watch on Foxtel and Foxtel sports streaming service Kayo Sports. All channels broadcasting the World Cup are clearly hoping for a successful tournament for Australia which will help to draw in as many of the millions of Australian cricket fans as possible over the next six weeks leading up to the final in mid-July.
"Earlier in 2019 Roy Morgan began measuring viewership of Women's Cricket separately and the first results show that there is a big future for Women's Cricket with proper promotion and marketing. Already over 2.8 million Australians watch Women's Cricket including Women's Test Matches, Women's ODIs or the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL).
"The huge audience for Women's Cricket is set to grow over the next year with Australia hosting the Twenty20 World Cup early next year with the final set down for the MCG in early March 2020. There are clearly significant opportunities for businesses looking to get involved with a team with a strong history in the tournament. Australia has won four out of the first six Women's Twenty20 World Cups and will enter next year's tournament as the defending champion.
"At present men comprise a majority of 63% of TV Viewers of Cricket numbering over 4.5 million compared to just over 2.6 million women who watch Cricket on TV. The new found popularity of Women's Cricket revealed by Roy Morgan's analysis shows the sport should be targeting a significant increase in viewership over the next few years as increasing numbers of women take an interest in a sport that has traditionally appealed to Australian men."

Q: iptables - perfect forwarding of port range to single port - p2p NAT traversal - how to keep the source UDP port untouched on the server? To all the iptables gurus out there:
I'm doing a little research on the viability of doing UDP hole punching to achieve NAT traversal in my network - I'm trying to figure out which UDP ports EXACTLY can be used for P2P connections between two peers behind a NAT (imagine two gamers trying to play online game that uses P2P networking model). I have observed that my ISP allows NAT traversal on certain ranges of ports (e.g. probably 9000-29999)
To find out these favorable ports is quite doable - all one needs to do is expose a central UDP server on a publicly accessible IP address (A) and port (P) to which you connect from your computer. The central server will then send you back (or you read it from its logs, whatever) the IP address and port from which you have connected - to achieve P2P connection, you want this discovered port to be used by your ISP's NAT also for your next connection to some other peer (I'm not going into details here, it's just the general idea).
So to test if the port stays the same, you connect to another port on the host and if the returned address and port is the same, there is some chance that the p2p connection is possible (I should try also different host - alright - but I'm doing this on a budget, so same host, different port it is).
Now I know that what I have just described is in essence the idea behind STUN servers, please don't recommend to look into it in the answers, I'm not interested in STUN servers in this question.
To find another favorable port, you just connect to another port on the server and see if the returned port is still the same.  To find ALL OF THE PORTS you simply scan the whole damn spectrum of ports and find out which ports work (on which ports your public ports stays the same) and which do not work.
So for example if I started the server on port 3478 and 3479 (default STUN ports) and port 5000, I have observed that my public ports stays the same for ports 3478 and 3479 but is totally different for the port 5000. Why ? I don't know.
To test more of these ports I need to start the server on multiple ports (or open multitple UDP sockets on more ports, I think it doesn't matter)... So I thought I could do a little workaround and simply start the server side on one port and set up some clever redirecting rule in iptables (e.g. redirect ports 1024~65535 to the port where the UDP server is running):
overview:
------------------                        --------------------------
 Public Internet                         Your normal home computer behind your ISP's NAT
  System A                                System B
  L = local IP address 10.0.0.1
  A = some public IP address
  UDP Server, port P=6000  <------------> UDP Client (running on some constant local port Z)
                                          trying to connect to range of ports [1025 ~ 65535]
------------------                        ----------------------------

iptables rule used to redirect connections to ports 1024~65535 to port 6000:
-A PREROUTING -i ens3 -p udp -m udp --dport 1024:65535 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 6000
After setting up this rule, I was able to use any of the redirected ports to connect to the server, BUT: one aspect of my flow dramatically changed - the source ports reported by the server have now started to change all the time even for ports that I have previously identified as favorable (e.g. 3478, 3479). As if the redirecting not only redirects the UDP packet to the destination port, but also changes its source port.
I understand that this might be a well documented behavior of iptables (netfilter?) and nothing could be done about it.
But maybe there is some other iptables magic that I don't know of yet which would achieve the desired behavior - i.e. not messing with the source port in the UDP packets.
Does anybody know?


Queen Avenue crosses four sets of railroad tracks, which means the crossing will never be totally flat.
Albany's busiest railroad crossing on Queen Avenue will be improved for safety one of these days. But it won't be soon, and when it's done it will still be a bumpy ride for cars.
ODOT-Rail wants to reconfigure the crossing gates to make it impossible to go around them when they're down. This is to prevent fatalities of the kind that have happened there when people mistakenly thought the tracks were clear after one train had passed.
The original design for the project called for one of the westbound traffic lanes on Queen to be closed. But that idea has been dropped, and now traffic lanes would not be affected, city transportation analyst Ron Irish told the city council last week. But the project's timing is uncertain.
Shankle has no timeline for when the project will be constructed. But with the various studies and approvals yet to be accomplished, my advice would be: Don't hold your breath.
But as Shankle explained it to me, the nature of the crossing — four tracks on a slight curve — makes it impossible to provide a totally level driving surface for cars and trucks. To provide adequate drainage, starting from the UP main line on the west side, each of the tracks has to be slightly higher than its neighbor to the east. And then, because of the curve, the outside rail has to be slightly higher than its mate.
A closer view of track No. 2 at Queen Avenue, the UP's passing track.
Avoid it, and miss the chance to see an non-turbocharged first generation diesel SD-7 switching? Portland and Western's Albany switcher is older than many or most cars at car shows, and sounds better too!
The rail height really isn't the issue. The crossing was relatively smooth when first laid. What I see is subsidence of the infill between the rails.
So we can put a man on the moon, put him in a car and let him drive around. We even supplied a ride home. But we can figure out how to make RR crossings level.
I'm sure everything has to be engineered – rail height, slight curve, etc. However, it seems like the slow speed of the trains would negate all those requirements.
I recommend you spend more time enjoying the track-side action at the Queen Avenue crossing to check out the varying train speeds. While the local switching chortles along at a slow speed, and Amtrak trains are not fast because they are stopping or accelerating, mainline UP freights go by at 50mph. A good example are the UP double stacks that need the elevation at 50mph around the curve.
But the City Council will still spend their time thinking up new "fees" so that they can build mini-parks downtown.
If it wasn't the parklets it would be Talking Waters or some other such essential service.
Perhaps an arm of government could underwrite the cost of either a tunnel or an elevated track system to eliminate the current disaster. Mr. Hering has done the community a favor by re-drawing civic attention to a very real minor irritant.
CARA seems to know where the money is. ODOT and the affected trackage owners ought consult with Albany Leaders. Crunch a few numbers. There must be a benefit for someone somewhere, isn't there?
I would suggest, Mr. Hering, that you intensely follow the Monday evening Council Working Groups with an eye toward any surreptitious discussion of this or any rail crossing project. I would assist you, but I get the feeling you prefer to work alone.
I have studied the Queen street crossing.
The frosting efforts have resulted in lipstick on a pig.
The base and topping at that juncture is insufficient for the static weight it must bear.
A steel frame for the rails works on bridges. Bury a steel frame similar the 1st street rail overpass. Tall trucks have proven no match for its durability.

Q: Pyspark: Pass multiple columns in UDF I am writing a User Defined Function which will take all the columns except the first one in a dataframe and do sum (or any other operation). Now the dataframe can sometimes have 3 columns or 4 columns or more. It will vary.
I know I can hard code 4 column names as pass in the UDF but in this case it will vary so I would like to know how to get it done?
Here are two examples in the first one we have two columns to add and in the second one we have three columns to add.

A: If all columns you want to pass to UDF have the same data type you can use array as input parameter, for example:
>>> from pyspark.sql.types import IntegerType
>>> from pyspark.sql.functions import udf, array
>>> sum_cols = udf(lambda arr: sum(arr), IntegerType())
>>> spark.createDataFrame([(101, 1, 16)], ['ID', 'A', 'B']) \
...     .withColumn('Result', sum_cols(array('A', 'B'))).show()
+---+---+---+------+
| ID|  A|  B|Result|
+---+---+---+------+
|101|  1| 16|    17|
+---+---+---+------+

>>> spark.createDataFrame([(101, 1, 16, 8)], ['ID', 'A', 'B', 'C'])\
...     .withColumn('Result', sum_cols(array('A', 'B', 'C'))).show()
+---+---+---+---+------+
| ID|  A|  B|  C|Result|
+---+---+---+---+------+
|101|  1| 16|  8|    25|
+---+---+---+---+------+

A: Maybe it's a late answer, but I don't like using UDFs without necessity, so:
from pyspark.sql.functions import col
from functools import reduce
data = [["a",1,2,5],["b",2,3,7],["c",3,4,8]]
df = spark.createDataFrame(data,["id","v1","v2",'v3'])

calculate = reduce(lambda a, x: a+x, map(col, ["v1","v2",'v3']))

df.withColumn("Result", calculate)
#
#id v1  v2  v3  Result
#a  1   2   5   8
#b  2   3   7   12
#c  3   4   8   15

Here u could to use any operation which implement in Column.  Also if u want to write a custom udf with specific logic, u could use it, because Column provide tree execution operations. Without collecting to array and sum on it.
If compared with process as array operations, it will be bad from performance perspective, let's take a look at the physical plan, in my case and array case, in my case and array cased.
my case:
== Physical Plan ==
*(1) Project [id#355, v1#356L, v2#357L, v3#358L, ((v1#356L + v2#357L) + v3#358L) AS Result#363L]
+- *(1) Scan ExistingRDD[id#355,v1#356L,v2#357L,v3#358L]

array case:
== Physical Plan ==
*(2) Project [id#339, v1#340L, v2#341L, v3#342L, pythonUDF0#354 AS Result#348]
+- BatchEvalPython [<lambda>(array(v1#340L, v2#341L, v3#342L))], [pythonUDF0#354]
   +- *(1) Scan ExistingRDD[id#339,v1#340L,v2#341L,v3#342L]

When possible - we need to avoid using UDFs as Catalyst does not know how to optimize those

A: Another simple way without Array and Struct.
from pyspark.sql.types import IntegerType
from pyspark.sql.functions import udf

def sum(x, y):
    return x + y

sum_cols = udf(sum, IntegerType())

a=spark.createDataFrame([(101, 1, 16)], ['ID', 'A', 'B'])
a.show()
a.withColumn('Result', sum_cols('A', 'B')).show()

A: Use struct instead of array
from pyspark.sql.types import IntegerType
from pyspark.sql.functions import udf, struct
sum_cols = udf(lambda x: x[0]+x[1], IntegerType())
a=spark.createDataFrame([(101, 1, 16)], ['ID', 'A', 'B'])
a.show()
a.withColumn('Result', sum_cols(struct('A', 'B'))).show()

A: If you don't want to type out all your column names and would rather just dump all the columns into your UDF, you'll need to wrap a list comprehension within a struct.
from pyspark.sql.functions import struct, udf
sum_udf = udf(lambda x: sum(x[1:]))
df_sum = df.withColumn("result", sum_udf(struct([df[col] for col in df.columns])))

A: This is the way I tried and seemed to work:
colsToSum = df.columns[1:]
df_sum = df.withColumn("rowSum", sum([df[col] for col in colsToSum]))

A:             udf_ = spark.udf.register("udf_",self.funct)
            print("registered udf................:",udf_)
            df = df.withColumn('result',udf_(struct([df[col] for col in df.columns])))
            print("after df call")

where self.funct is defined in another class and I am trying to register this function using spark.udf.register and call this function from df.withColumn and returning as result  is not working ..
Output:
registered udf................: <function function.funct at 0x7f8ee4c5bf28>
after df call
but in real this is not entering into the funct function of the function class.
function class as follows
class function():
def init:
def funct(self,df):
print("inside funct function")
return F.col(S)*F.col(S)
S column is part of df data frame and int

Scotland's Birthplace?
Angus Council is considering a new promotional campaign which would brand the county as the "Birthplace of Scotland" – a title based initially on the signing of the Declaration of Arbroath in 1320. Angus was also one of the heartlands of the Picts and the birth of Scottish nationhood can be traced back to the union of the Picts and the Scots. Angus was also the location of the Battle of Dunnichen (known also as Nechtansmere) in 686AD. It is argued that if the Picts had not defeated the Northumbrians from what is now northern England, Scotland as a separate nation would not have come into being. Needless to say, the bold claim by Angus was disputed by other parts of Scotland – including Argyll (where the Irish immigrants from around 500AD were called "Scots" and Dunadd was the capital of Dalriada), Forteviot in Perthshire (where King Kenneth MacAlpin, the first king of the Scots and Picts set up his capital) and Glen Trool in Galloway (where Robert the Bruce's first victory in 1307 gave rise to it being named the "Cradle of Scottish Independence). Then, of course, there is Sutherland which has Lewisian rocks, the oldest in the country….

TATA of India to open Call Center in RP
By Abigail L. Ho
First Posted 00:15:00 06/30/2009
MANILA, Philippines—Giant conglomerate Tata Group of India is setting up call center operations here, with an initial capacity of 250-300 seats.
According to Jonathan de Luzuriaga, executive director for industry affairs for the Business Processing Association of the Philippines, the Indian group was currently conducting a due-diligence study in the country.
"They've been badly burned by the talent shortage in India, so they're looking at the Philippines as a new location," he said of Tata and many other Indian business process outsourcing firms. "A lot of Indian BPOs are really looking at setting up shop here."
For Tata's call center facility, he said the group was looking at areas in the Visayas and Mindanao.
"The trend of site-hunting now has tipped. It's now Mindanao first, Visayas second, and Luzon third. They know that Metro Manila is already very congested, so they're looking at the 'Next Wave Cities' for their investments," he said.
The Commission on Information and Communications Technology yesterday launched its Cyber Corridor Roadshow, a 10-city tour of local areas best suited to BPO operations.
The roadshow would also be done simultaneously with BPAP's Talent Caravan in the so-called Next Wave Cities.
Included in the roadshow and talent caravan are Metro Laguna, Metro Cavite, Iloilo, Davao, Bacolod, Angeles-Clark-Mabalacat in Pampanga, Baliuag-Marilao-Meycuayan in Bulacan, Malolos-Calumpit also in Bulacan, Cagayan de Oro, and Lipa in Batangas.
While focusing on the BPO sector and the career opportunities that it offered, CICT chair Ray Anthony Roxas-Chua III said the roadshow also aimed to make residents of these cities aware of the overall benefits of ICT.
The roadshow, in particular, aimed to spread awareness about e-government, human capital development, information infrastructure, and cyber services, he said.
"The industry still has a lot of potential. This roadshow is not limited to job generation alone. We also want to focus on education, (small and medium enterprises) and local government units," he said in an interview yesterday.
