Whenever you need to move your business, office or house, you will find yourself dealing with a relocation expert Sydney. They are the one who will assist you to have a smooth moving process. Although hiring a professional mover or a removals company can be expensive, yet your transfer will be done with less hassle. You can rest assured that they will take care of everything and can guarantee an awesome experience all throughout. As opposed to having a do-it-yourself move where, one; there is really no guarantee of spending less, two; you will have to bear with all the stress involved in the process all by yourself.
Conversely, there are a few occasions when hiring experts is not really necessary, depending on the kind of situation that you have. For example, if your budget is not that much, and your move is not actually distant, not to mention—the office that you are moving to is not that big, then DIY would be more practical. Thus, we are taken back to the main question of this article—how should you know when you need to get professional help, and when is it not necessary?
One of the oldest sayings said, 'time is gold' which is true especially if you go to work or run a business to earn a living. Being on a tight schedule can add up to your problems with your move. You need to provide time to manage everything and this can be physically and emotionally draining if you choose to do it all by yourself. It is crucial to make the right choice on whether you do it or hire a professional mover to help you throughout the process.
If you choose to hire a professional mover, they will give you specific date and time that will suit your schedule and take care of everything from start to finish. As a matter of fact, what could take you weeks in doing the move may take them only a few days.
Allocating your budget accordingly is important if you are planning to move your business. Why? Because that's when you will know if you can afford to hire a team of relocation expert Sydney or not. Aside from that, you need to allocate funds as well for packing and unpacking your stuff. Even the transportation costs, if you have big things to move, it can add up to your expenses.
However, if you choose to hire relocation expert Sydney, they will give you an offer that will suit your budget perfectly. They will then let you decide if you're good with the deal. Additional expenses will no longer be a problem since they usually offer packages, providing you with the details of services inclusive with the packing and unpacking of your stuff to your new place.
Check what are the things you have in your office. Does it include heavy items such as shelves, cabinets or computers? Think about how much effort will it need for you to move them to your new place. Just so you know, this kind of stuff requires proper equipment and procedures for lifting and transportation. In this way, you can avoid damages and injuries if you want to do it on your own. But that too would require heaps of effort.
Nonetheless, hiring movers can lighten your workload and can make the process easier and faster. You can also get a storage for those things that you still want to keep but you no longer need.
How near or far are you going to move? Are you planning to get a long drive? Do you see yourself bringing your things along with your road trip? This idea may require numerous trips especially if you have lots of loads to move. Very time-consuming, isn't it?
While hiring a relocation expert Sydney, on the other hand, they can make your long-distance transfer much more effortless. Professionals like them are reliable in dealing with the move and will bring your stuff unscratched. They can even provide you with insurance of your goods as well to cover possible damages during the transfer.
Supplies such as tapes, boxes, plastic wraps and hand trucks that you'll use for your move can add up to your list of expenses. Not only that, there is a danger that you'll damage your items if you don't know how to pack them properly. Of course, that's frightening to look at especially if these items are more valuable than your life.
So for your convenience, you can actually hire professional movers instead of leaving the task to yourself. With this, you can assure that your belongings are safe from getting damaged or broken. Especially, if you own heirlooms or antiques that are stuffed along with the rest of the pile. A relocation expert Sydney will do proper ways of packing your items to make your move as smooth as possible.
When you decide to do the move all by yourself, make sure to finish your preparations to avoid inconvenience. This refers to packing stuff (e.g. boxes, tapes), the vehicle to use where you put all your belongings, including your physical and emotional stability. You have to expect that doing the move without any assistance from anyone can be exhausting.
Otherwise, you can actually hire relocation expert Sydney to avoid stressing out with the moving process. All you need to do is tell them how and when do you like to have the move. Then, they'll match your preference to what they can offer for you. With this, you can go to sleep peacefully and let them do whatever they need to do.
Aren't you yet overwhelmed with the idea of moving? Looking on your to-do list is already stressful, what more if you're already doing it? Are you planning to pack up every item that you have? Do you have people on your side who are willing to carry heavy stuff like cabinets or shelves? To have a stress-free move, relocation expert Sydney can help you go.

Q: How to get consistent yaw and pitch angular velocity measurements in a moving frame of reference I am using a BNO055 sensor with a ESP32 development board to control my mouse cursor. I'm able to get data from the sensor as angular velocity, or as absolute orientation in quaternions and use that to control the cursor movement on screen.
My aim is to be able to get yaw and pitch angular velocity measurements, which align to the movement of the hand in space, with the device attached to the hand. I'm able to do this when the device is straight. But I'm facing issues, if the device is rotated on its frame's roll axis. This results in a movement of the hand registering angular velocity on both the yaw and pitch axis. I have made a short video to demonstrate the issue, which hopefully makes more sense than the written explanation.
If you would like to view the current project code that is available here.
I understand this is very specific, and potentially time-consuming to answer so no expectations! Still, I would appreciate any guidance on how to approach solving this.
PS. Sorry for bad video quality, I have RSI and can't spend too long on touchy stuff like this.

A: With some help, I was able to figure out code, that does what I need. I've uploaded it here. Hopefully somebody find it useful, it has comments describing the steps being taken, but in all honesty I do not understand the maths behind it.

Collection of the Artist, Beirut
Rashad Al Shawa collection, Gaza
Acquired directly from the above by the present owner
Gaza, Marna House Gallery, Contrast and Contradictions, 1965
Catalogue note
This beautiful canvas by internationally acclaimed artist, Laila Shawa is of considerable historical significance within her artistic oeuvre. 'The Souk' was part of Shawa's first solo exhibition in Gaza in 1965 entitled 'Contrast and Contradictions' – one year after her graduation from the Academy of Fine Art in Rome. Thereafter, it was to become part of the collection of Rashad Shawa, the Mayor of Gaza and also the artist's father. It remained there, in Gaza, until the house was destroyed but was salvaged and relocated to Bethlehem.
Shawa is known for her bold colour palette, her illustrative renderings and the integral story telling of her work. Her paintings speak of political strife and in particular bring to the fore, the fate of children, families and in particular, women in Gaza. This early canvas marks the beginning of her mastery and application of bold colour, albeit, with a more subdued hand. This lends itself to the wistful quality that we perhaps don't feel as evidently in her later works, which have gone through a noticeable evolution.
While her later works are stylistically laced with greater irony or humour and speak more directly to political realities and perceived injustices, Shawa's early paintings are gentle, almost folkloric renderings that depict everyday local scenes. Within the context of her oeuvre, these become particularly nostalgic and poignant – a remembrance of better times or a hopeful longing for what could have been a very different way of living.
Shawa's artistic range and ability is indeed broad: her mastery of paint and colour did not preclude an ability to capture narratives through photography and silk screening. Her pioneering work in these mediums have without question, helped to shape contemporary Palestinian art. It is, however, in her evolution as an artist that has enabled Shawa to take her place as a leading globally recognized artist. Moving from the 'accepted' medium of paint to alternative mediums to express her evolving style with bolder political messaging (as a female Arab artist no less) speaks to a brave fearless spirit. It is also important to highlight that Shawa is profoundly aware of the roles of women in Arab societies – living through the Intifadas, she saw the pivotal position women played in the movement in their multifaceted identities as mothers and workers but also active revolutionaries. In this sense her oeuvre is a reflection of the resilient Palestinian identity.
"Laila Shawa was one of the first Arab artists to successfully break through barriers in the West." - Lawrence Joffe quoting Dr Venetia Porter, 'Laila Shawa: still shaking people up', The Middle East, February 2002, online
This painting is a rare work by the artist from the beginning of what was to become a significant globally recognised artistic career.


In terms of volumes, medium-term trends show a sharp increase in overall beef exports, from 8 292 tonnes in 2001 to 31 888 tonnes in 2017 . Frozen beef exports trebled from 4 740 tonnes in 2001 to 13 808 tonnes in 2017. Meanwhile, fresh/chilled beef exports increased 5-fold over the same period, from 8 292 tonnes to 18 080 tonnes.
Within the top ten destinations for South African frozen beef export markets, there are continental markets (Lesotho, Mozambique, Angola, Mauritius, Swaziland and Egypt), the Far East region (Hong Kong, China and Vietnam), as well as the Middle East (United Arab Emirates). In terms of chilled/fresh beef, the continental markets (Swaziland, Mozambique, Lesotho, Namibia and Mauritius) featured prominently, followed by the Middle East (United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Jordan and Qatar), as well as the Far East (China).
However, this notable progress is likely to be disrupted this year following an outbreak of the Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) in cattle in the Vhembe District of Limpopo, which has resulted to a number of countries, such as Swaziland, Botswana and Namibia, amongst others, banning South African cattle and beef exports.
Aside from the disease outbreak, 2019 was already starting on a negative footing owing to drier weather conditions in the western parts of South Africa, which did not only negatively affect grazing veld, but also led to an increase in maize and soybean prices – both of which are key animal feed ingredients.
The 2018/19 summer grains and oilseeds production season started on a sound footing, with farmers aiming to lift planting area by 5% from the 2017/18 production season to 4.03-million hectares. These plans were followed by actions, as tractor sales surged 6% to 6 246 units in the first 11 months of 2018 compared to the same period during 2017. At the time, good rainfall in the eastern parts of the country enabled farmers to start planting, albeit rainfall turning erratic and not widespread in some weeks, thus negatively affecting crops. Meanwhile, the central and western parts of South Africa received minimal rainfall all the way to Christmas. As a result, less than 20% of the intended maize in the western Free State and North West provinces had been planted by 25 December 2018, compared to the normal seasons where maize plantings would be nearing completion over the same period. The key reason for this was persistent dryness, which is illustrated by levels of soil moisture.
However, the last few days of 2018 brought widespread showers across most parts of the country which offered an opportunity for farmers to start plantings in the western Free State and North West provinces, despite the optimal planting period having closed back in mid-December 2018 for maize for improvement in subsoil moisture following late December 2018 and early January 2019 rainfall). The most recent industry estimates suggest that about 60% of the intended maize area in the North West had been planted in the week of 11 January 2019, from levels of less than 20% in December 2018, as previously mentioned.
In the eastern Free State, the estimates suggest that roughly 70% of the intended area for maize has already been planted by end of last week. Meanwhile, the north-western central Free State had only planted roughly 35% of the intended area over the same period. Other provinces such as Mpumalanga, Northern Cape, Eastern Cape and KwaZulu Natal managed to plant the typical areas, with Limpopo reportedly experiencing a shift from maize hectares to cotton.
The aforementioned production dynamics suggest that the intended area of 2.44 million hectares for maize in the 2018/19 season could probably fall by approximately 19% to 1.98 million hectares. This would be almost in line with the area planted during the drought period of 2015/16 production year. At that time, South African maize production amounted to 7.8 million tonnes, turning the country into a net importer, as annual maize consumption is roughly 10.8 million tonnes. During that year, there were relatively lower stocks as it was a second successive drier season.
Nonetheless, this time is different. South Africa's maize ending stocks, which will be carried over to the 2019/20 marketing year at the beginning of May 2019 is estimated at 3.4 million tonnes. This will provide a much-needed buffer for the country's supplies. Most importantly, this suggests that if South Africa's 2018/19 maize production could amount to at least 8 million tonnes, the country would have sufficient supplies for the whole 2019/20 marketing year.
Our initial estimates for South Africa's white and yellow maize 2018/19 production was about 12.2 million tonnes, based on farmers' intentions to plant 2.44 million hectares. It is now clear that such harvest will not materialise as we expect a decline in area, as well as the fact that the late planted maize might not yield well because of the lateness of the season, and possible frost later during the course of the season.
The erratic weather conditions and uncertainty about the harvest size will continue to lift SAFEX maize prices and, in turn, add inflationary pressure on consumers and animal feed industries. For cattle farmers (the red meat industry in particular), this will add to the pressures caused by the recent FMD outbreak. Figure 4 below illustrates the impact of dryness on SAFEX commodity prices in the past couple of weeks.
Soybeans: in Mpumalanga, KwaZulu Natal and eastern Free State, the crops were successfully planted and appeared in relatively good condition on 03 January when we did a mini-crop tour in some areas. Meanwhile, in western Free State, and other provinces, there were limited soybean plantings. As it is the case in maize, it is clear that the intended record area of 851 800 hectares in 2018/19 production season might not materialise. We will release our production expectations after 29 January, a date when we will have official preliminary area plantings.
Sunflower seed: roughly 85% of plantings take place in North West and Free State provinces and these areas experienced dryness throughout the season (with exception of eastern), until the last few days of 2018. This led to a delay in plantings, as a result, farmers in parts of western Free State and North West are reportedly still planting. It is unclear if the intended area of 575 000 hectares will materialise or not. We will get clarity at the end of this month.
Although maize products prices are expected to be relatively higher than last year due to an uptick in commodity prices, we do not expect a meaningful switch in consumption to other substitutes such as rice. South Africa's 2019 rice imports, which will translate into consumption could amount to 1.1 million tonnes, up by 10% from 2018 (Figure 5). This is according to data from the International Grains Council (IGC). Worth noting is that South Africa does not have a conducive climate for rice production and therefore the country imports all of its rice consumption. The imported rice typically includes; paddy, brown, semi-milled, and broken rice.
As set out in our previous notes, from a supply perspective, the global rice market is in good shape. The 2018/19 global rice production could reach a record 491 million tonnes, marginally up from the previous season, according to data from IGC. The key contributing countries to the expected increase are India, Vietnam, Thailand, United States, China, Bangladesh and the Philippines. These are some countries that supply to South Africa. The benefit of an uptick in global rice production is clear on prices which have softened in the recent months compared to the beginning of the year across all the aforementioned countries. This is all beneficial to rice importing countries' consumers, such as South Africa.
The South African beef sector will be under pressure in 2019 due to rising feed costs, as well as potentially slowing exports on the back of a foot-and-mouth disease outbreak.
From a consumer perspective, the beef industry challenges will, however, have positive short-to-medium term benefits as slowing exports would translate into an increase in domestic supply and, in turn, slow meat price inflation.
Our initial maize production estimate of 12.2 million tonnes will not materialise, the crop will most likely be lower due to a potential decline in area planting, as well as prospects of lower yields in late-planted areas.
Soybean harvest will most likely be lower than the 2017/18 production season due to similar factors as maize, which is a decline in area plantings and expectations of poor yields in some areas.
Sunflower seed typically surprises by doing well in seasons that are characterised by prolonged dry spells, as farmers tend to shift from maize to sunflower seed plantings in late-rain seasons. Therefore, sunflower production projections remain uncertain, at least until planting data is received.
The weather will continue to play a key role in the South African agricultural markets in the next three months. Thereafter, the focus will shift to winter crop producing areas. The near-term precipitation prospects are constructive .
South Africa's rice imports will increase in 2019 driven by an uptick in consumption.
The tough production conditions in the grains and oilseeds subsectors will most likely add upward pressure on consumer prices, but we do not expect a notable uptick in headline food price inflation, as lower meat prices will somewhat overshadow the potential upswings.

Heinz Hall, home of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, is the cornerstone of the local Cultural District, and now audiences will get a chance to see one of the culinary world's most famous names there. Writer Jennifer Wallace is moderating the onstage interview, which will dive deep behind the scenes of the author's life and methods. Garten will discuss her time here in the Hamptons, filming her Food Network show Barefoot Contessa: Back To Basics, writing Cook Like a Pro and simply the joy of sharing food with her friends and family. Audiences can join a Q&A after the interview and ask any burning questions they've had, or that come up during the talk.
The next stop on Garten's tour is the Bushnell Center in Hartford, Connecticut—the largest arts organization in the state—on April 10. Talking to a local moderator, she will discuss Cook Like Pro, share recipes, stories and tips with the love and passion she's put into her self-taught cooking. Connecticut's most curious will also get to ask questions during the audience Q&A.
Heading up north to Canada, the last venue will include another big name, journalist, broadcaster and fellow Hamptonite Katie Couric, who also happens to be Garten's close friend. Couric will mediate the onstage interview at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts in Toronto on April 11. The two will discuss Cook Like A Pro, living the good life here in the Hamptons and more personal stories. A limited supply of signed books will be available for purchase in the lobby that night as well.

To a soundtrack of whimsical French pop, Aime Luxury designer Monica Mei presented her "seasonless" 2009 collection very aptly named, "Paris Je T'Aime". An unconventional hybrid of classically Parisian themes (bib collars, ruffles, chiffon, a very 'Chanel' colour palette) mixed in with futuristic elements (metallics, piping, volume in the right places) made for a refreshing combination at Toronto Fashion week.
Toronto native Nada Shepherd has been designing clothes for the past 9 years and wanted to take a very different approach this season. "The line is usually pretty feminine but this season we went a little bit harsher with the styling", -and harsher it was. As our interview progressed in a quiet corner of the backstage dressing room, I had a glimpse of her models out of the corner of my eye -hair pulled back tight, pale-faced, blocked out brows, black lips, chains, leather and feathers and I was immediately reminded of Rick Owens' creatures of the night. Not something your regular 30-45 year old woman (as she said her brand caters to) would wear, but would be more suited for the younger, fashion forward set. It was obvious this collection was a huge departure from her previous one where she showed flow-y caftan dresses in bright bold colours. This season, her inspiration was the idea of a dark futuristic world. "It's not a feel-good collection. It's called 'Utopia' but it's a dark utopia, it's more of a 'dis-topia'. I asked people to kind of put themselves into the future where science and technology has given us everything we think we've wanted as humans but there's sort of a consequence for that". The dark theme of this collection only prompted the inevitable question of whether the recession had anything to do with her final product. "[The recession] is global. This is a big deal. With that said, there's still an optimism there. Yeah it's dark, but there's that light at the end of the tunnel". Not limited to this collection, designers are coming to a very ironic conclusion, "I realized people are not going to buy the basic wool pant from me. Who are you kidding? They're going to buy it from the Gap, they're going to buy it at H&M, they're going to buy it from companies that could do it for a lot less, so I decided to take the other tack and just go the other way and do pieces that aren't 'easy', in the sense that they're everyday staples. They're special pieces, they're unique pieces". And the outcome? Innovative fabrics (the glossy leggings in several of her looks are not PVC but are in fact, a stretch leather), an incredible beauty look (my favourite so far this week), and something many Canadian designers lack in their collections -risk.
I'm not exactly a fan of this brands garish aesthetic, and one might even question its place at a "fashion" event, but I must say that Ed Hardy's Swim and Snow collection was definitely entertaining and was a great way to conclude the evening! Rail thin beauties stomped down the runway in bikinis and cut-out swim suits bearing that distinctive graphic that actually didn't seem so gaudy in this context. And if you're wondering how a show with such contrasting themes (winter/summer) gets styled, it was exactly how you would imagine -a bikini-clad model wearing ski goggles and a brawny male model in a speedy holding a snow board were a few of the runway looks.
L'Oreal Paris' official hair artist and colourist Eric Del Monaco and the official makeup artist and artistic director for LG Fashion Week Beauty, Eddie Malterre, shows us how to get the Ed Hardy Swim and Snow runway beauty looks.
"This look is very nice, it's very fresh. We're just taking a straightening iron, we're just going to make it very straight and very clean but instead of just taking the iron and going straight down, we're going to take it and iron it in all different angles so when she walks down the runway it'll have a veiled effect, it's not just going to hang there, it's going to flow. It's so easy to do!"
STEP 1: Start with clean, dry hair. Apply a small amount of L'Oreal Special FX Studio Architect Wax to the hair which will protect the hair from the heat of the straightening iron.
STEP 2: Use a hair clip to separate your hair into quarters. Take approximately 2 inch wide strands of hair and starting from the root, flat iron the hair pulling each strand in different directions rather than just straight down.
STEP 3: When completed, use a small amount of L'Oreal Studio Mineral FX Gel Cream and emulsify it between your hands. Pat the product into the ends of your hair. For longer wear, apply a bit of hairspray instead.
Eric's hair tip for transitioning from winter into spring: "If your using any kind of a heated tool you should get some kind of a protector cream, spray, anything to protect against the heat of the blow dryer. You can use a bit of hairspray or the architect wax."
"We wanted it to look very feminine, very glamour with lots of emphasis on the eyes but with a beautiful frosty glow on the face and the cheekbones are fresh cheekbones and lips look like there is a pout."
Skin: Use true match foundation and powder all over face. For blush, apply a light peach colour to the apples of your cheeks. Use L'Oreal's pearl eye shadow as a highlight under your eyes and above your cheekbones for a frosty look.
Eyes: Using L'Oreal HIP Metallic eye shadow black and silver duo, apply the darker shade on the outer eye lid and then apply the silver on the inner half of the lid, blending the two shades together in the center. Apply black liquid eyeliner on the top eye lid and black mascara on the top and bottom eye lashes. Apply the same eye shadows on the bottom eyelid for a smoky effect.
Lips: Use L'Oreal Colour Rich lipstick in shade 339 or any pale pink lipstick. Apply a coat of clear lip gloss on top.
For an everyday look, Eddie suggests toning down the eyes by using the eye shadows as an eye liner instead of applying to the entire eye lid.
"Have two foundations, one a bit darker and one a bit lighter. Our skin always changes so it's good to play with two foundations. Sometimes you buy a foundation and think 'oh, it's too light', but keep it and buy one a little bit darker and you can blend it together."

L'Oreal's infamous Elnett hairspray spotted backstage. L'Oreal's official hair artist Eric Del Monaco informed me that this will finally be available in Canada this fall.
Norm and Gio Gaudet's show opened the tent at Nathan Phillip's Square on Day Three of LG Fashion Week with Audio Bully's technicolour remix of Nancy Sinatra's Shot Me Down. A wardrobe of outerwear focused on bringing colour and life back to winter. Perfect for the 44th parallel where winter lasts for the better part of the year.
Textile: The key element in this collection, Gaudet used hand pulled felted wool featuring: embroidery, abstract and floral silk appliqués, and a subtle tulle overlay. Clean and well executed without being fussy (considering all the details).
Silhouette: A body-con collection in all the right ways. The cut is made for everywoman, but the colour is not for everday. The shape was forgiving and sweet - nipped waists with circle skirts and ¾ length A-line cuts were predominant.
Colours: canary yellows, powder blues, rust and sepia tones. The inspiration came from a blanket of wildflowers seen on a visit to Gio's native Georgia.
Style notes: Belts for all! Dropped hem coats (reminiscent of the skirts in Marni's SS 2008 collection), chain and cluster necklaces from H&M (the chains were a bit Givenchy lite?), and finally liquid leggings and skinny pants that weren't quite skinny enough. Overall, a collection of beautifully finished coats - though the details in the styling left something to be desired.
Coming out of their 25th year - this collection was made for the Comrags girl - one that is never quite right, but is never quite wrong and knows what she wants.
Textile: The first half of the collection was all about tweeds and tartans. Worn layered together, or over jersey and lace - it certain was a lovely mess. After all the great separates came the dresses - in beautifully crumpled nylon taffeta.
Silhouette: Something for everyone. The silhouettes were the usual suspects: blouses, cardigans, oversized oxfords, shirtdresses, and sumptuous wide leg trousers that added more length to the already lean Amazons strutting down the runway. The dresses were mainly shifty, though they did play with some volume and nipping of the midsection.
Colour: The separates at the beginning of the show were individually muted (rust, brown, grey and black), but the colours and textures layered together to create a more interesting look. It was very refreshing to see the jewel toned dresses in the second act of the show (sapphire blue, raspberry, poison ivy green).
Style notes: A great choice in the John Fluevog shoes, ankle socks and undone hair. Perfectly in line with the natural beauty of Comrags, for the slightly awkward/cool girl who wears her curly hair au naturel.
Andy Thê-Anh: Did you say recession?
Staying true to himself, Andy produced another sleek and sophisticated collection of wearable dresses and separates.
Textile: yards of silk, velvet, fur, and pounds of Swarovski crystals were used to create the FW 2009 collection, who said we were in a recession?
The colour palette began in the gold/bronze and brown family. Chartreuse and more vibrant hits of green unleashed the other colours in the box - with canary yellow, rich reds, and fuschia all mixing with gold and black anchors.
Style notes: obi belts served to highlight the waist and provide a sharpness to contrast all the ruffles, and intricate folding on the dresses.

PlayBox Technology will expand the range of features for its AirBox Neo playout systems at IBC 2017 with the launch of an IP-based delay server. The Neo TS Time Delay is a 1U device that can be used for single and multichannel operations, offering both time zone shift and disaster recovery functionality.
The new PlayBox Technology Neo TS Time Delay is intended to be completely automated and introduce delayed triggering of signals into a variety of IP-based video and audio carrier streams, including DVB, ATSC and MPEG. The system is able to work with multiple input channels and multiple delayed outputs, with all operational configurations set up and controlled using an integrated web-based interface.
Among the parameters available are channel-specific delays, which can be programmed in 15-second steps. Input bit-rates and available storage will dictate how much delay can be introduced, while other features include automatic error logging and displays showing data about MPEG-compliant transport streams.
The Neo TS Time Delay includes UDP-RTP input and output, which enables unicasting or multicasting through conventional Gigabit Ethernet connections. Among the possible setting permutations is to have a 'zero-delay, pass-through' to cover the domestic time zone of a broadcaster, while a one hour or one week delay can be introduced on a unicast MPEG stream. A single device can additionally handle a multicast MPEG stream with specific playout timings, with a third channel for supporting information such as UDP (User Data Protocol).
Commenting on the new product, PlayBox Technology president Don Ash said, "Neo TS Time Delay is for use in countries or federations with multiple time zones. It also has applications in disaster recovery centres where it provides operators with a wide range of timing options."
Neo TS Time Delay will be shown at IBC 2017 as part of a full channel branding, scheduling and playout installation based on the AirBox Neo platform.


The Angry Toxicologist is a full-fledged Ph.D. scientist in the public health sector, according to his or her own self-description. There is no first or last name to reference this claim with, but it's probably fair to presume that if Seed is publishing the blog, this 'scientist' is real enough. The blog itself is a very enlightening read, despite the fact that AT's positions on some subjects have rankled fellow SciBloggers to no end. Of course, it's safe to say that the nay-sayers probably don't have the qualifications in these areas to inflict any serious wounds. Complaining about what they don't know (as if they DID know) is, alas, what many of Seed's SciBloggers do best. AT's knowledgeable coverage of issues that directly concern regular people is refreshing. The topics are important, the writing accessible, and the attitude quite educational.

31 May 2016 Hong Kong


WASHINGTON (CNN) — It's not every day that White House has to defend its decision to nominate a soap opera producer to represent the country on one of the highest diplomatic levels.
But it was that kind of Tuesday.
Asked at the daily press briefing what makes "The Bold and The Beautiful" producer Colleen Bell qualified to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Hungary, White House spokesman Josh Earnest didn't exactly have an explanation.
"(She's) somebody who obviously has succeeded in, you know, in the business world," Earnest said.
Earnest also denied that Bell's hand in raising millions of dollars for the President's re-election campaign had anything to do with her appointment.
"Well, I can tell you that that's not the reason she was chosen," he said.
But not everyone will be satisfied with that answer.
Just hours before, Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, blasted Bell's nomination on the Senate floor.
"We're about to vote on a totally unqualified individual to be ambassador to a nation which is very important to our national security interests," he said.
"I am not against political appointees … but here we are, a nation that's on the verge of seceded its sovereignty to a neo-fascist dictator getting in bed with Vladimir Putin and we're gonna send the producer of 'The Bold and the Beautiful' as our ambassador," McCain said.
This is not the first diplomatic position the President has selected Bell for. In 2010, Obama appointed Bell to the President's Advisory Committee on the Arts at the Kennedy Center.

Q: How to extract information from a message of an imported module? I am trying to take the "buttons" example (http://elm-lang.org/examples/buttons) and import it from another module that would display several of them on the same page.
I am afraid that I am still thinking with components in mind, but I just want to share it anyway.
I created Main.elm that load a slightly modified version of the buttons example (Buttons.elm).
In Main.elm I have a list of Buttons.Model that I use to generate the list of buttons.
I am stucked now because I don't know how to get the necessary info from Buttons.Msg in Main.elm
To see the code:
$ git clone https://github.com/lucamug/elm-multiple-buttons.git
$ cd elm-multiple-buttons/
$ elm-package install
$ elm-reactor

and open

*

*http://localhost:8000/source/06/buttons.elm

*http://localhost:8000/source/06/main.elm
-- Solution
The problem, as pointed out by Chad Gilber in the accepted answer, was in this line:
(List.indexedMap (\position buttons -> Html.map Tag (Buttons.view position buttons)) model.buttonsList)

this is the correct version
(List.indexedMap (\position buttons -> Html.map (Tag position) (Buttons.view buttons)) model.buttonsList)

If you are interested in this implementation, you can find more details in this post https://medium.com/@l.mugnaini/recycling-elm-code-transforming-it-in-a-module-4946d5ccd3cd

A: You will need to update your Tag constructor to include the array index.
The relevant changes to code are:
view model =
    div []
        (List.indexedMap (\position buttons -> Html.map (Tag position) (Buttons.view position buttons)) model.buttonsList)

type Msg
    = Tag Int Buttons.Msg

update msg model =
    case msg of
        Tag position button_Msg ->

And you'll want to remove the hardcoded position = 1 in your update function.
This Pull Request outlines the changes necessary.

Sustainable Product Design
P.S. Farm? PS1's Public Farm 1 is now open for picking

This summer, PS1's Saturday afternoon parties will have a working farm with tomatoes, lettuce, herbs, and, yes, egg laying chickens! Chickens courtesy of the Queens County Farm Museum's Michael Grady Robertson.
Public Farm 1—or "PF 1"— was the Young Architect Program (PS 1's YAP) winning project this year, and last night, MOMA members and press were welcomed to the unveiling of PS1's summer 2008 courtyard installation, a vertical farm structure which is the design and creation of WORK Architecture. A Lower East Side firm run by the young and enthusiastic husband-and-wife team, Amale Andraos and Dan Wood, WORK beat out their competitors with the creativity and fun of their very green design.
With perhaps a bit of exhaustion in their attractive faces, Andraos and Wood told us that a lot of the work came to fruition only in the last few days. The chicken coop, for example, was a well kept secret, kept even from PS1's Director Alanna Heiss. The idea in part, as in previous years, was to create an "urban beach." Winning designs in the past have done this with tents, canopies, and water. (Shade and water are especially important for dancing revelers on humid summer Saturdays.) But what is really unique about this installation is that WORK has truly created an urban vertical farm in Queens.

What it looks like: PF1 looks something like a "floating carpet" made up of slanted rows of large cardboard planter tubes sweeping high above the gravel courtyard. The planting tubes are constructed in circular daisy patterns, with a "picking hole" inside each grouping. At the points where the rows of planting tubes are only a few feet out of reach, visitors can use a ladder to rise up out of the picking holes and pick the plants growing in the tubes around them. For the outer points at which the tubes are much further from the ground, there is a genie to lift the pickers up. In the center of the farm there lies a refreshing wading pool. The tubes are labeled from below so you can see what's growing up there, e.g., Collard greens are at picking-with-a-ladder height, while herbs and strawberries are located lower down in the center. The plants are watered by a drip rainwater irrigation system, and the cistern is located in the chicken coop. (Did I mention the chicken coop?). The chickens lay ½ a dozen eggs a day. Some of the eggs are collected for eating, and some of them have hatched some adorable two week old chicks! There are no roosters per NY legislation. The entire installation is powered by 16 solar panels —so it is entirely off grid. The solar panels will also power a juicing station, though unfortunately, it was not yet working last night.
Design and Construction: The project is all about the natural world: the form of the human-made structures were all taken from nature, and there are 51 types of plants. But it's also, Ms. Andraos told us, all about collaboration. Up to 60 people, in groups of 20 to 30, would work on the farm's construction in one day. The architects combined their architectural knowledge from working in England, Japan, and Beirut, and also got a lot of help from other organizations. The plantings were done in part through a collaboration with the Horticultural Society of New York's Greenhouse program on Rikers Island, which allowed ex-offenders to work on the farm. (And I am told that some of the ex-offenders who worked on the planting remarked that they were looking forward to seeing the fruits of their labor.)
There were challenging times during construction, especially during the heat wave and when it rained. Rain is great for plants, but tough for construction, especially for construction with paper. There was no structural modeling for paper, so they had to find a company that could do it. They tried a couple before finding LERA's excellent modeling team, who pushed the structural properties of cardboard to its limit. And yes, the paper tubes are coated in a polyurethane lacquer. The tubes are held together with plywood 2x4s bolted with 7,000 bolts—each one hand tightened. If you lined up all the paper tubes, the architects proudly told us, the resulting structure would be twice as high as the nearby Citi tower. The team used "Gaia soil." Gaia soil, developed by Dr. Paul Mankiewicz of the Gaia Institute, is lighter than normal soil and is made in part from recycled styrofoam. The pots are irrigated by underground pipes that connect rainwater from the roof from the cistern directly to the roots.
The WORK architects thanked PS1 for the opportunity. Ms. Andraos remarked, "It is "very rare to be able to build ideas uncompromised . . . we can't believe they left us alone for so long."
During the architects' tour of their farm, Mr. Wood, looking like a modern day Jack in the Beanstalk, donned a dark green "picking skirt," a type of apron Wood and Andraos had constructed, with several deep pockets for produce, and climbed the picking ladder. (Of the picking skirts, Ms. Andraos remarked with glee "This is why we won, by the way.") In addition to picking produce, visitors can watch videos of farm animals (all powered by solar) through peepholes in the supporting columns. Non-farm related activities include recharging your phone at the solar-powered cell phone charging station (to stay connected with the friend you can't find because she's climbed a picking ladder).

The produce and eggs will be used in the restaurant at PS1, as well as sold to the public at the green market held in front of the museum each Saturday this summer. Produce these days, travels an average of 3,000 miles, but "we are trying," said Mr. Wood proudly, "to reduce that 300 feet."
PF1 connects outside and inside, ecology and urbanism. If you are in New York this summer, come visit PF1 to dance and forage for veggies! PF1 will remain at PS1 through September. And of course, the installation will be recycled afterwards.

Randolph Choir Brings Cheer AgainTo 1.25 Million
By new_view_media on January 26, 2017 No Comment
By Nicole Greco
Like so many famous performers in history, the Randolph High School Chamber Choir was "discovered" on the streets of Manhattan. An improvised rehearsal caught the ear of a producer at Fox News Channel and the students were invited to return and make their television debut.
Each year, the choir travels to New York for a day of caroling and sight-seeing. The day begins in Bryant Park, and the group of 26 students ranging from grades nine through 12, make their way up 5th Avenue in Midtown stopping along the way to sing for passersby and culminating with a "mini-concert" on the steps of St. Patrick's Cathedral.
During the excursion, the choir sees a Broadway play. Last December, they arrived early for the show and ducked into a breezeway that "looked like it would have great acoustics," according to choir director Matt Swiss. So they stopped to sing.
They hit the right notes at the right time- their songs drifted to the windows above and caught the attention of producers from Fox and Friends. They came out to the sidewalk to meet Frank Perrone, Randolph's district supervisor of visual and performing arts, and talked to the student singers. Later that day, the producers asked Perrone if the choir would perform on the popular morning show and preparations began for their appearance with no time to spare.
"As a performer, musicians always look forward to performing in front of a live audience, this performance in front of a live national audience is one that our students will never forget," said Perrone, "They were provided the experience of what it is like as a performer to be given a performance opportunity that needs a quick turnaround in preparation and rehearsal time."
The producers were so impressed that they invited the students back for 2016. Once again, the students had to have their music camera-ready in short order.
"The singers got the music three days before the show; they learned it mostly on their own at home and then we rehearsed in class the next two days," said Swiss, "They worked hard to learn the music well and that gave them the confidence to be really in control of their nervousness."
Niesen ratings for Fox and Friends averages 1.25 million viewers a day, not bad for a group of kids who only expected to carol for about 100 people at St. Patrick's Cathedral.
"The morning of the show was surreal- waiting in the greenroom as the professional production unfolded around gave them an amazing taste of the industry and fueled their excitement," said Swiss. "By the time we got outside [onto the plaza], the students were ready to sing with joy and enthusiasm."
This year's medley theme was "Christmas Around the World" featuring traditional songs. It lasted a little more than a minute but created memories that will last a lifetime. For those who missed it, or want to hear the choir again, the next choral event will be Cabaret Night on Feb. 3, and the musical "Annie" on March 17 & 18.

"As we continue to modernize our organization, our vision is to utilize available innovation and technology tools to enhance Community Safety and Well Being while demonstrating the professionalism of our frontline members," said Deputy Chief Anthony Odoardi.
"We also look to provide social supports in real-time that would otherwise not be achieved through traditional response models."
Peel police chief Nishan Duraiappah's said BWCs are just part of the force's plan to "enhance the level of trust and transparency" in the community as part of his vision for Community Safety and Well Being (CSWB).
"PRP is equipping officers with the necessary tools to improve efficiency and effectiveness by leveraging both existing and new innovative technologies," a press release said.
"This engagement seeks to strengthen trust and accountability, while also leveraging the technology to enhance service delivery in new and innovative ways."

I like to read. Actually, I like to read what makes me think. And that makes me a slow reader. On top of that, I am lazy. So it is a rare book that I read cover to cover. But when I do read a book completely, I usually read it all over again. If it is worth reading once, I believe, it is worth reading a second time. One such book is by a favorite author of mine — Marvin Harris. He is an anthropologist. I first read him many years ago. I loved his book Our Kind so much that I ended up buying a dozen copies to gift to my friends. Another of his books that I enjoy giving is Cows, Pigs, Wars, and Witches.
These days I going through his book "Cultural Materialism: The Struggle for a Science of Culture" [© Marvin Harris 1979 Random House.] It is a delight. Here are a couple of paragraphs that I would like to share with you.
Science is a unique and precious contribution of Western civilization. This is not to deny that many other civilizations have contributed to scientific knowledge by inventing weights and measures, classifying plants and animals, recording astronomical observations, developing mathematical theorems, voyaging to distant lands, experimenting with chemical and physical processes. But it was in western Europe that the distinctive rules of the scientific method were first codified, given conscious expression, and systematically applied to the entire range of inorganic, organic, and cultural phenomena.
The alternative to science is ideology. Jihad.
Next > "Free" Textbooks? Not really.
But it was in western Europe that the distinctive rules of the scientific method were first codified, given conscious expression, and systematically applied to the entire range of inorganic, organic, and cultural phenomena.
so you think that when Indians discovered what is called the pythogoras theorem, or when Sushruta did plastic surgery, they were just achieving things by some kind of hit-and-trial method?
Yes, as long as we are studying nature, science is universal. On the other hand, something social science is extremely context-sensitive.
The best thing that can be said about codified science is that it is repeatable and does not have any stickies in the form of ideology associated with it. That makes it universally acceptable and adaptable.
I've just finished the fantastic 'Guns, germs and steel' by Jared Diamond and was looking for a good follow-up. Thanks for the reco about Marvis Harris.
Due to the abscence of enough data/evidence , we can only speculate as to how ancient Indian discoveries were achieved. I think the focus of the essay was more on how science can be transmitted better when it is codified in verifiable formulae and such. Regardless of how Sushruta did plastic surgery, had he codified it AND if it were followed/built-on by his successors, we would have achieved a lot. For this to happen, lot of things should have been in place – good sample size of students who are competent enough to understand what Sushruta did, easy access to Sushruta's knowledge base and several favorable extraneous factors (like a stable empire, absence of invasions etc) and a lot more.
I think we could benefit by distinguishing the use of terms 'Scientific temper' and 'Scientific thinking" from the study of Physical and Life Sciences.
Sure, Social science differs in major ways from study of natural phenomena. However, social science can, an dhas benefited greately from adopting the techniques of "Science".
The tecniques that were codified in Western Europe that we now universaly embrace as Science is what Marvin Harris is referring to. It is quite possible that these very same principles were in play during the time that the great discoveries were made in ancient India. It is sad that we could not build on it- reasons are many and Raghuveer has pointed out some of them most appropriately.
It would be more appropriate to say that all nations and communities have contributed to science and technology but the lattest phase of contributions has come from the western world.
And guess how they would do it – using science, of course.
My qualm usually is not with science observation or experimentation, but it is with liberals (they are usually non-scientists themselves) bashing people who believe in God using apparent science as the basis. Any serious scientist knows we don't understand most of the nature (although there is tremendous progress, especially in the west – imagine the rate of progression of science if Indian and Chinese universities join in full force), but that doesn't stop the so-called atheists from swinging the bat.
Agree with Raghuveer on reasons why there was a need for continuity. I think it has mainly to do with the system of education, reading and writing, so that the smart ones could stand on shoulders of previous generations (instability and other factors were in Europe too) – without continuity the wheel has to be reinvented every few generations. Scientific temper probably exists in all society and in all generations – but it has to be allowed to blossom (I know it exists in India – but we don't invent much).
Great post. I must read Marvin Harris' book. Regarding the supposed Western cultural bias of science, Meera Nanda's book "Prophets Facing Backward: Postmodern Critiques of Science and Hindu Nationalism" is interesting. She shows how the extreme Hindu Nationalist view "Vedas are books of science", "Astrology is a science", etc. are close cousins of the postmodernist ideas of the likes of Vandana Shiva that science is just a form of colonialism and so local traditions and knowledge are to be preferred. See this.
The quoted paragraph itself stop short of introducing the concept of falsifiability of proposed hypotheses. I haven't read this book but perhaps the author goes on to introduce this concept?
Falsifiability is one of the key concepts that sets apart the activities of understanding the natural world in the rest of history from the specific development of the scientific method.
