A match made in Heaven!?
Fish & chips with Emerson's Pilsner is a match made in heaven!
Cripsy and salty fish & chips pairs perfectly with the light malty sweetness and lengthy dry finish of the Pilsner.
Not a bad drop then!
Have you tried our latest Emerson's beer?
What better style of beer to have at the back end of summer than a pint refreshing of Kolsch. With a pinch of Lemon Grass and Chili this is an ancient beer style with a modern twist! This is a limited edition seasonal release so get in quick before it runs out!
On the 3rd of May we held the annual 2018 Press Freedom Debate!
Grant Walker is the chairman for the night, and was joined by the likes of Nicola Willis, Kris Faafoi, Peter Dunne, Kieran McAnulty, Jane Clifton and David Townsend. It certainly was a powerful clash of powerful minds and personalities.
Thank you so much to everyone who came! It was a fantastic night full of quips, anecdotes and wisdom!
We hope you all took away the message of how important and free and fair press is!
All money raised from ticket sales went to the Media Safety and Solidarity Fund, which provides support to journalists and media workers in the Asia-Pacific region.


810nm system uses the unique laser with long pulse width 810nm to penetrate into hair follicle.Using the theory of selective optical absorption,laser can be preferentially absorbed by the melanin of the hair. And then the hair shaft and hair follicle are heated rapidly in order to destroy the oxygen-supply organization of and around the hair follicle. The system's unique super-cooling technology could bring about certain anesthetic effect to the epidermis with the output of the laser. Therefore, it could protect the skin from being hurt. As a result, a very safe and effective treatment is realized.
810nm diode laser hair removal system uses the most advanced technology that penetrates deeper than before so that the skin could absorb less laser and there is no pigmentation.
Sapphire contact cooling system of Terminator hair removal equipment can ensure the doctor could use the maximum energy but not to hurt normal skin. This cooling system can make sure no hurt to the skin when patients are given more pressure. It is reported that the pressure can increase 30%-40% of the luminous energy.
810nm diode laser hair removal machine uses big squared spot size of 20mm which could ensure high efficiency and fast speed when executing the treatment of large area hair removal. Because the spot size is big, it could avoid repeated treatment.

A call to Greg Marino at Neff Yacht Sales brings more information about his new central listing, Cheoy Lee's 27.4m motor yacht Exit Strategy.
Apparently she's a sheep in wolf's clothing with her husky workboat exterior but lighthearted, warm interior designed to combine comfort and luxury. There's a large main deck saloon aft, adjacent to a dining area. A skylounge is aft of the pilothouse, followed by an entertainment area with an electric grill, wet bar and built-in seating area.
Below decks accommodation includes four staterooms plus crew quarters. The master and VIP suites are aft and the two guest staterooms are forward along with the crew quarters. Designed for long passage-making in either arctic or tropical seas, Exit Strategy is asking $2.649 million.


The Hotel Laguna Grande is located on the banks of the fresh water artificial lake of the same name. It is an ideal place for fishing in the lake and hunting in the preserves of the Yana and El Limon. Additionally it is an excellent spot for nature lovers wishing to visit the Vinales Valley and other local attractions such as the Indian Caves.
Laguna Grande Hotel is rather exclusive but a low cost hotel; and as such it is under heavy demand.
Until recently Hotel Laguna Grande was known as Hotel Islazul Laguna Grande.
All 12 bungalows are functionally equipped with air-conditioning, private bathroom, safe deposit box and cable TV.


Shopping for network modules requires a great deal of technical expertise to know which products work in conjunction with others within your network. Also the product specifications and features vary greatly between models and differ from one manufacturer to the next.

Great clothes – and more. All in one store!


Eight key executives, meetings around the globe, and a pesky glass coffee table, to hammer out the deal announced this week.
CEO Steve Ballmer tells AllThingsD that, as close as Microsoft and Nokia were, there were still boundaries and hurdles that will be removed by the new deal.
By buying Nokia's phone business, Redmond argues that it stands to make significantly more money if Windows Phone ever takes off.
Sprint on Wednesday announced pricing for its second Windows Phone 8 smartphone — and its first capable of international roaming. Available on Friday, the Samsung Ativ S Neo will sell for $149, after a $50 rebate and with a new two-year contract.
Microsoft says its overall phone business increased revenue $222 million, though it chose to combine Windows Phone licenses with the money it makes off Android patents.
Nokia's latest Windows Phone is likely to be quite the sharpshooter, but it remains to be seen whether it will have enough firepower to bag the ever elusive high-end consumer.

REVIEW: 'Plane' has plenty of suspense and action on board
Since 2017's bomb "Geostorm," Gerard Butler has rebounded with solid action pictures such as "Angel Has Fallen" in 2019 and "Greenland" in 2020. He's added another enjoyable one to the list with "Plane."
Butler plays Brodie Torrance, the pilot of the titular plane, who's tasked with flying over the Pacific Ocean on New Year's Eve. Two factors make it more than just a routine flight, though. One is some nasty weather and the other is a convicted criminal (Mike Colter) who's on board to be extradited.
As the plane goes through bad weather, a lightning bolt hits the aircraft, knocking out its electronics and forcing Brodie to make a rough landing on a remote island. It turns out the island is controlled by a militant group and they take many people from the plane hostage. The only two left to rescue them are Brodie and the criminal, Louis, both of whom have military training.

REVIEW: Manic energy in 'M3gan' makes it a fun watch
Another addition to my never ending list of reasons why I fear a robot uprising.
The titular doll in "M3gan" is basically an android built by Gemma (Allison Williams), a robotics engineer working at a toy company that releases advanced products. While she's at work on her latest project, her sister and brother-in-law are killed in a car accident.
Gemma's niece, Cady (Violet McGraw), survived the crash and is now living with Gemma, but the girl has become depressed and reclusive. In trying to help Cady, Gemma activates M3gan to be a doll and friend to the girl. However, M3gan was still in the testing phase, and the artificial intelligence in the doll has the potential to be dangerous.

REVIEW: 'A Man Called Otto' is moving, but clichéd
This film is an adaptation of a book written by a Swedish author in 2012. I have to imagine he watched 2008's "Gran Torino" and 2009's "Up" before putting pen to paper.
Tom Hanks stars as Otto, a man who recently became a widower and lives day-to-day thinking there's not much left for him in the world. Otto is rather grouchy and quite particular in his old age. For example, he doesn't want anyone driving on the private road in front of his home.
He begins to loosen up, though, when he's approached by a young, friendly couple and their two daughters. The matriarch of the family, Marisol (Mariana Treviño), especially forms a bond with Otto, helping him to find more in life again, which leads him to start helping others around the neighborhood.

With that in mind, we set out to assemble the ultimate starter kit filled with tried-and-true basics loved by makeup artists, editors, and at-home beauty buffs alike. The kicker? They're all from the drugstore. Because we get it: You're not going to splurge on pricey products if you're only just learning how to use 'em.
Click through, then take a trip to your local drugstore to build a makeup artist-worthy kit even your most beauty-obsessed friends will want to get their hands on.
This Real Techniques set is intended for travel, which, lucky for beginners, means it includes the brand's most basic, multi-tasking brushes. Trust us—when it comes to makeup application, the right brushes can make all the difference.
For less than the cost of a latte, you can have yourself 48 shades of eyeshadow all across the color spectrum, courtesy of e.l.f. Blend subdued hues like brown and beige for a simple daytime look, or play with jewel-toned shades for a fun night out.
Don't let primer fool you: This seemingly professionals-only product is actually easy to integrate into your makeup routine from the get-go. Use it post-moisturizer and pre-foundation for an even, smooth complexion—which this version by L'Oréal Paris delivers in spades.
CoverGirl's LashBlast Clump Crusher Mascara boasts what might just be the world's most user-friendly wand. Even the newest-of-newbies can apply mascara without fear of looking spider-like, thanks to its curved brush and fine bristles.
Pond's has channeled its skin care expertise into this lightweight, SPF-infused BB cream. Its dewy finish makes it a must-have to master that elusive no-makeup makeup look.
Pros love the two-in-one nature of Maybelline's Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer. With a little practice, you will, too. The pen works as both a traditional concealer for under-eyes and imperfections, and, when applied to areas like the sides of your nose and tops of cheeks, as a highlighter that brightens and sculpts the face.
For first-time foundation wearers, choosing a breathable, blendable formula is key. Neutrogena's liquid makeup delivers on all counts: Its lightweight formulation is similar to that of a BB cream, but its medium coverage makes it truly complexion-enhancing.
Thanks to stars like Lily Collins, brows are having a major moment. But, fortunately for us, it doesn't take a celebrity makeup artist to keep your arches looking neat and defined. The easiest method? Fill in your brows using a soft pencil (bonus points if it has a built-in blending brush), like this one from NYX.
Think of tinted balm as the older, cooler sister to your favorite Chapstick. This version from Revlon is easy to apply, leaves a subtle-but-noticeable wash of color on lips, and wears well throughout the day. No wonder every beauty buff we know keeps one of these in her makeup bag.
Rimmel's Lasting Finish by Kate Moss Lipsticks might be the drugstore's best-kept secret. These long-wear lippies are soft, apply smoothly, and come in a wide range of colors. Plus, it doesn't hurt that these shades have the iconic supermodel's seal of approval.
We won't sugarcoat it—applying eyeliner takes a little getting used to. That's why this Almay crayon belongs in every beginner's beauty kit. The brand is famous for hypoallergenic formulas, which means it won't irritate your eyes, even after several rounds of cat-eye practice.
Milani Baked Powder Blush is like a good night's sleep in a compact. One swipe across the apples of your cheeks, and you'll instantly appear more awake. A pretty, soft pink is a sure bet for beginners—it suits virtually every skin tone.


Michelle Pfeiffer: Do brunettes have more fun?
those of us who adore her?
last year. She was Velma Von Tussle in Hairspray.
premiere of Come Back Little Sheba, she debuted a look that I can't recall seeing before.
You know, she kinda does.
I think she looks lovely, in fact. And not because I have bad vision.

Restaurant Closure
After nearly 100 years downtown, dive bar Virginia Café gets 86ed.
By Jonathan Fine May 19, 2009 Published in the February 2008 issue of Portland Monthly
Image: Misha Ashton
BUD CLARK planned his long-shot 1984 mayoral campaign over beers in booth 12. Mercedes Deiz, who became Oregon's first female African-American judge in 1969, sometimes ducked in for lunch. Gus van Sant occasionally drops by, and celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain stops in whenever he visits Portland. Once a bustling lunch joint, now a divey watering hole, the "V.C.," on downtown's SW Park Avenue, is the Cheers of Stumptown—where everybody may know your name, but no one gives a rip if you're famous.
"It's a real hodgepodge of people," says Beryl Parker, who managed the Virginia Café in the '70s, when prostitutes loitered outside the front door and greeted her early in the morning. Today, class lines still dissolve in the smoky haze that hangs over the dark wooden booths, while off-duty baristas chum it up with doctors, designers and the downwardly mobile beneath the amber glow of vintage chandeliers.
For nearly a century, this gritty melting pot has endured as an upscale downtown has grown up around it, but the bar's lasting spirit will come crashing to an end—literally—when the entire block is razed this year to make way for a 33-story tower of retail, office and residential space, the latest development from Tom Moyer, who also gave us the Fox Tower. The rubble will bury a mountain of history.
The first Virginia Café opened at SW 10th and Stark in 1914, serving coffee and chow in a rowdy tenderloin district. A second Virginia Café opened at SW Park Avenue near Morrison Street in 1922 and managed to stay afloat through hard times when many other cafés—including the original V.C.—closed. In 1979 Peter Goforth and Bob Rice bought the failing café, replaced the lunch counter with a fully stocked bar and made strong well-drinks the V.C.'s special of the day. Every day.
But save your epitaphs. Goforth and Rice have remodeled a space just around the corner, using much of the old bar's décor—including the original booths and light fixtures, as well as the old photos that graced the walls. And on some night in late February, when the mood feels right, the bartender will yell, "Smoke 'em if you've got 'em," and the V.C. family—staff and patrons alike—will march, barstools in hand, to their new home, where they'll chase the lumps in their throats with a few pulls of house whiskey.

If this were to have more units, I would have imagined this thing going Bay City Boathouse style where extra levels were added in. The two buildings have identical architecture.
I heard of this...YAY! But I'm wondering if the rest of the district is going to be torn down for the massive surface parking lot that is going to be needed for bank financing...diddly dee diddly dee.
I think there's already enough space for parking there, lol.
Here's a thing I found searching for it.
There's not much around it, but who knows. Knowing Detroit they'll find something historic around it to demolish!
Several months ago, there was another purchase and proposed renovation of an abandoned warehouse on the Riverfront, on atwater. Cant' find any info/news!! Help please!!!
Detwaa, are you talking about the Globe Trading Co. Building?
It was the Globe Trading Co. which is on the same block. I remember the article with the owner walking on the roof.


British Swimming have named their squads for the 2017 European and World Junior Championships this summer.
A strong English presence features in both teams, with British 100m Freestyle champion Freya Anderson included in the squad for the World Juniors.
The LEN European Junior Championships will take place in Netanya, Israel from 28 June – 2 July. The FINA World Junior Championships will take place in the US city of Indianapolis from 23 – 28 August.
Both teams will be led by British Swimming Head of Elite Development Tim Jones.
"The World Junior Championships is a growing event," said Jones. "There are few opportunities where we can race against nations such as the U.S., Australia, China and Japan.
"For that reason we're placing more of a priority on WJC this time around.
"The selection policy also gives us an opportunity to add a very small number of European Junior swimmers to the Worlds team based on their performances in Israel.

Gaia Brunoni is Account Director from Wunderman Paris. At the beginning of this year she took her husband and daughter and moved to Prague for two weeks as part of international exchange programme YOU Swap.
How did she like Prague, our Wunderman office and our agency at all?
I had the occasion to meet everybody I would have spent time with in the following weeks, the Wolves, and get acquainted with Czech specialties such as bramboraky, goulash and more bramboraky, which I had never eaten before. I think I got a garlic breath for a few days after that first dinner though. Beer was as good as I remembered.
"At Wunderman Prague I had the chance to work with team led by Alex Uher, who was at the time focusing on UX/UI design of small-medium seller subscription journey of an international e-commerce client.
My boss Alex (Uher) was the coolest ever : smart at work and fun! He taught me it's actually possible to be productive at work and still have a life (whaaaaat ??? pls export more of Alex here !!!). And he made me discover the best restaurant around the office, which is JELICA, the Serbian place.I do hope for you that when you move offices you do not go too far from it, it's so perfectly exaggerately kusturica-ish it feels like you're on set. I was glad I could manage to get back 3 times there during my stay, which I've been said is a record in itself.
The offices in Prague are a real maze and, without the help of Alex, Zora, Youssef, Daniel, Martin and some well placed graffiti on the walls, I would have got lost every other day.
Coming from a relatively small Wunderman (around 80 employees in Paris) I was amazed by the number of people working there (do you really know everybody?).
And yet the offices were so spacious and comfortable, a nice environment, it felt good. The fingerprint access surprised me, it is sooo Minority Report !! Cool.
Weather-wise, I admit I was quite scared of going to Prague in Winter, I thought I was dragging my husband and daughter to a sort of better version of the North Pole and stupidly we were not even equipped for it, but surprise-surprise, the weather was lovely and, as cold as it was, in the end it was really part of the charm of being in Prague.
#1 – I sort of evolved from drinking water at lunch on day one into gradually increasing my daily intake of Staropramen, to a point that proportions were reversed. Great.
#2 – I'm Italian but had to go to Prague to have cappuccino in the morning, can you believe it ?? Never had one in Italy when I was living there.
#3 – My daughter is still talking about Prague and, from time to time, she packs a bag, draws a flying ticket and goes back to Prague.
Not having had Jarda-Jerry explain me where the Wolves title come from.
Not going to Narodni Divadlo to see a Laterna Magika show.
I definitely need to get back. For both reasons.
It's actually possible to work in communications without producing endless powerpoints.
If you'd like to do/see/eat/go to anything in Prague better to plan and book in advance (Zora, you were sooo right when you told me!).
Gaia Brunoni joined Wunderman in 2013 to work as account director on Microsoft EMEA leading B2C campaigns for more than 15 markets. Over the years she moved onto leading IKEA CRM, Center Parcs CRM and strategy. She came to Prague via YOU Swap programme – internal exchange programme for Wunderman, where our people regularly visit foreign affiliates and share their know-how and experience.


The hotel is located on the Galapagos Island of San Cristobal Island in the hills just above the harbor and center of the town of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, the Island's provincial and administrative capital. As a promoter and advocate for sustainable ecotourism and "green travel", Galapagos Eco Friendly focuses on uniting conservation, communities, and sustainable travel. We embrace ecotourism principles by minimizing environmental impact, building ecological and cultural awareness and respect, providing positive experiences for our visitors and raising sensitivity to the political, environmental, and social climate of the Galapagos Islands and Ecuador.
The hotel is inspired by my personal experiences and lifelong exposure and commitment to the environment. It embodies what I believe in and what I want to share with those who come to the Galapagos Islands for an adventure and to expand their horizons.
I am a citizen of the Galapagos Islands and the third generation of my family to live on San Cristobal. I grew up wandering the hills around my house and swimming and snorkeling in the Pacific Ocean. Mockingbirds woke me in the morning, iguanas climbed in our family's garden and frigatebirds and pelicans sailed through the air and landed on our boat. The sea lions, especially the little pups, were almost like pets hanging out on the pier, just as they do today. Every chance I could, I would be in the water playing with them. That hasn't changed!
In my youngest memories, I recall having the time of my life in the midst of this gorgeous nature preserve I call my home. Since then, my love of the land and sea in and around the Galapagos Islands has done nothing but grow stronger. As your guide, I am dedicated to applying and communicating what I have learned and what I love to you.
I learned to SCUBA dive at age 11 and am now a certified Dive Master with more than 6000 dives in the Galápagos Island Marine Reserve. This ensures that since snorkeling, and for some SCUBA diving, is one of our activities during the trip, I will be able to show you the richness of the second largest Marine Reserve in the world. The joy that I have felt since my childhood is what I want to share with you.
I have my naturalist certification from the National Park Services and have worked as a Naturalist Guide for more than 15 years. I continue to work as a naturalist for the most highly regarded as well as ecologically aware and committed companies in the Galápagos Islands; they are leaders on the application of conservation ideas, such as recycling, teaching, and planning the use of clean energy to reduce the impact in nature. I have studied geology, oceanography, biology, thematic environmental interpretation, and general natural history of Galápagos and evolution. I am bilingual in Spanish and English.
I have had a rich and wonderful life here and that is what I want to share with the visitors to the Eco-Lodge. By using the Eco-Lodge as the base of our exploration, you will have the benefit of being a part of the Galapagos Islands' culture that cruise-based travelers miss. Whether we are on the land or sea, I want you to feel the beauty, majesty and uniqueness of the extraordinary world that will surround you here in the Galapagos.
My responsibility to my guests at the Eco-Lodge is to fill you with wonder and to make you smile. I believe that travel should expand our horizons, improve the world we live in together, and improve our lives and the lives of those around us. When we travel, we open our hearts and minds, and share our experiences and our cultures. I make it my personal mission to enhance your understanding of this world and how we can maintain it and make it even better in the future.
Trust me that a trip that you schedule through the Galapagos Eco-Lodge will reward you with unique experiences and provide you with the opportunity to discover a whole new world of natural wonders. If I can impart what I have learned to my guests then you will leave this part of our planet nourished, fulfilled and anxious to return. So be ready in body and mind for this once-in-a-lifetime travel experience.
Almost every person is supposed to be thinking about these types of things that are good for the healthy atmosphere. If we are doing it together we are sure to make this place to live easily.
With help of this blog in writer describe various important topics followers get interesting information buddy. According to the comments of the online students australian reviewer is very helpful for correction of their works.

Black hole Messier 87: MIT Haystack Observatory in Westford played crucial role in processing first-ever black hole images
Updated Apr 10, 2019; Posted Apr 10, 2019
MIT Haystack Observatory.
By Kristin LaFratta | kristin.lafratta@masslive.com
Engineering and technical experts from Massachusetts, working locally in Westford and as far away as the South Pole, made crucial contributions toward the first-ever images of a black hole.
Since 2007, experts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Haystack Observatory have dedicated their knowledge to the powerhouse Event Horizon Telescope system and the goal of processing visual evidence of a black hole.
It was at that observatory, located on a sprawling 1,300 acres of hilly woodlands northwest of Boston, in Westford, Groton and Tyngsborough, that experts processed data from the global telescope system.
"This project has been my life ever since the beginning of it. It's overwhelming. And, you know in fact I'm stammering a bit now because I'm overwhelmed by it," Michael Titus, a technical associate from Groton, told MassLive over phone. "It's something that's been a long time coming."
On Wednesday, the National Science Foundation shared the very first images of a black hole inside a Virgo galaxy cluster known as Messier 87. The images were captured in April 2017 and took several years to process.
The historic accomplishment happened thanks to the EHT system, an international project that linked telescopes from nine sites around the world to create one giant "virtual telescope." The global coordination essentially created a lens the size of Earth, with the resolution power to read a newspaper in New York City from a vantage point nearly 4,000 miles away in Paris.
"This is a very local story, because half of the data that went into that image was actually correlated at the Haystack Observatory," Titus said. "We are the first step in the process before we get to the imaging part."
Half of the data captured from the EHT was processed in Massachusetts, while the other half was processed at the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, Germany.
Using the Event Horizon Telescope, scientists get the first image of a black hole. The image captures a gargantuan black hole at the heart of distant galaxy Messier 87. (Image captured by EHT, shared courtesy the National Science Foundation)
Titus worked to correlate crosses of data streams from all of the telescopes connected in the EHT. Data taken from the telescopes had to be synthesized in order for image processing to take place, he said.
The year-long effort required people like Researcher Engineer Jason Soohoo, of Chelmsford, to physically visit telescopes as far away as the South Pole to first set up and test equipment, and later gather the data.
"When I show up to a site, it's usually empty with a bunch of crates of hardware. And I put it all together," said Soohoo, who has worked at the EHT project since the beginning.
Soohoo said it took several months before he could bring the necessary data from the South Pole Telescope back to Massachusetts, because planes do not fly there during the winter months. He admitted hour-long testing periods in the South Pole were difficult: "It's very demanding to stay focused with the weather elements," he told MassLive, but added that his visit to the southern-most tip of the planet was a great experience.
The Chelmsford engineer also traveled to Mexico, where a telescope used in the EHT project includes yet another Massachusetts connection. The Large Millimeter Telescope, located in Sierra Negra, Mexico, was developed in the late 1990s by the University of Massachusetts Amherst in partnership with a Mexican government agency.
Like his colleagues, Soohoo said the successful result of capturing the first visuals of a black hole was a challenging and rewarding process.
"It's an amazing thing," Soohoo said. "There are ups and downs, and technical problems, but you just continue taking data and battle through it and you finally get the results."
The existence of black holes are part of Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, which was formed more than a century ago. While there remains lingering questions about black holes and what exactly happens inside of them, the recent EHT project confirmed Einstein's theories, scientists say.
According a statement from the National Science Foundation, the images and data captured in 2017 reveal a black hole about 55 million light years from Earth with a mass 6.5-billion times that of the sun.
"We really had no idea. There was Einstein's theories, and then we're not even sure the observations are going to reflect what's predicted," Titus said. "So we could have had something that was totally unexpected and difficult to explain. The fact that it came out as textbook as it did, it's almost a miracle."

ARE WE READY FOR MACHINERY AS A SERVICE?
Laurence Marchini
The most heralded benefit of the fourth industrial revolution (or Industry 4.0) is the availability of increasing volumes of data concerning the performance of manufacturing operations (so-called "big data"). These data range from the enterprise level, to the plant level, and down to the individual machine level.
Naturally, the more data you have, the more accurately you can paint a picture of the performance of the enterprise, the plant and even the machine. But, as with much in life, it's not just the volume of data, it's what you do with it. And the sheer scale of the task has many manufacturers perplexed, particularly at the smaller end of the market.
One company that is promoting an alternative solution is Rockwell Automation, and the key to the solution is in the active participation of the machine builders.
Remote troubleshooting is nothing new. A machine breaks down and the manufacturer of that machine can access sensor data to determine the cause and initiate repairs.
More recently, this has extended to preventive maintenance, with critical components such as bearings monitored 24/7. Today, remote machine monitoring and machine diagnostics (RM&D) is a growing trend, with a number of dedicated software suites available to simplify the process for manufacturers who are not in the market to design their own solutions.
However, RM&D remains an addon. The vision of the future portrayed by Rockwell Automation is one where Industry 4.0 is integral to the machine, built in at inception by the machine builder.
With this level of integration, the machine builder can remain in control of the machine 24/7, making small adjustments to keep the machine running at optimum efficiency.
This makes perfect sense. Nobody (including the user) knows the intimate workings of the machine better than those who built it. And, with multiple identical or similar machines operating at different locations (and in different manufacturing companies), that leads to an ever expanding knowledge base.
Much has been made of the concept and merits of high-value manufacturing. And one of the concepts that we are urged to embrace along the route to high-value manufacturing is the service aspect – the so-called "servitisation" of a product.
Here it is worth looking at some of the recent evolution of the IT industry, where software as a service - or SaaS - has become a the accepted delivery model for many business applications. And it has even spawned several specific variants covering platforms (PaaS), desktops (DaaS), managed software (MSaaS), mobile backends (MBaaS), and information technology management (ITMaaS).
So what chance for MaaS - or machinery as a service?
There certainly remain a number of barriers. For example, why would any manufacturer consent to its process optimisation data being used to improve the performance of similar machinery operated by a competitor?
However, the concept of paying for a guaranteed service, and even a guaranteed level of manufacturing output, has the potential to rewrite the economics of the manufacturing enterprise.
And it all starts with big data.

The Harlem Dispatch
Book review by Kam Williams
For the past three decades, we've earnestly tried to address white-body supremacy in America with reason, principle and ideas–using dialogue, forums, discussions, education and mental training. But the widespread destruction of Black bodies continues. And some of the ugliest destruction originates with the police. Why is there such a chasm between our well-intentioned attempts to heal and the ever-growing number of dark-skinned bodies… killed or injured?My Grandmother's Hand is a call to action for Americans to recognize that racism is not only about the head, but also about the body. [The book] introduces an alternative view of what we can do to grow beyond our entrenched racialized divide and takes readers through a step-by-step healing process based on the latest neuroscience and somatic healing methods."
Like Bill Withers, Resmaa Menakem had a wise grandmother who played a pivotal role in shaping him during the formative years of his life. For that reason, he acknowledges the debt of gratitude owed to Addie Coleman, whose tenderhearted spirit permeates his new book, My Grandmother's Hands.
But the groundbreaking opus isn't merely a fond memoir about a late loved one, but rather a sobering how-to tome endeavoring to identify and alleviate deep-seated traumas afflicting blacks and whites alike. For the author, a veteran therapist who has appeared as a guest on such TV shows as Oprah and Dr. Phil, fervently believes that racism can't be eradicated by conversation across the color line alone, as so often suggested by well-meaning political pundits. He asserts that race-based trauma is so embedded in our bones that it can "alter the DNA" and thus be passed from one generation to the next. Consequently, his innovative recipe for recovery incorporates a hands-on approach to healing the body as well as metaphysical measures for soothing the soul. The book is basically a mix of diagnostic discussion, anecdotal evidence and invaluable exercises designed to enable the reader to recognize his or her need for treatment and then get themselves started on the road to recovery. Though the highly-charged subject-matter might ordinarily be controversial in nature, this text is written in a non-confrontational style apt to disarm, engage and enlighten readers, regardless of color or political persuasion. Kudos to Resmaa Menakem for such a sorely-needed seminal work which couldn't be more practical or more timely, given this bitterly-divided country's current state of race relations.
The body is where our instincts reside and where we fight, flee, or freeze, and it endures the trauma inflicted by the ills that plague society. In this groundbreaking work, therapist Resmaa Menakem examines the damage caused by racism in America from the perspective of body-centered psychology. He argues this destruction will continue until Americans learn to heal the generational anguish of white supremacy, which is deeply embedded in all our bodies. Our collective agony doesn't just affect African Americans. White Americans suffer their own secondary trauma as well. So do blue Americans—our police.
My Grandmother's Hands is a call to action for all of us to recognize that racism is not about the head, but about the body, and introduces an alternative view of what we can do to grow beyond our entrenched racialized divide.
Paves the way for a new, body-centered understanding of white supremacy—how it is literally in our blood and our nervous system.
Offers a step-by-step solution—a healing process—in addition to incisive social commentary.

Q: Lambda Regex Recognition I'm reading an XLS list and run a for loop on a column called 'Product Name'. I want to check line by whether the string matches a certain pattern or not using regex. If the string matches the pattern I want to write it into an array.
This is my for loop to process line by line the product names:
    products = []
    for x in df['Product Name']:
        products.append(lambda x : labeler(x))
    print(products)code

and this is the function I'm calling:
def labeler(product):
    recognized_pattern = re.search(r"abc\w+(\s)?\w+(.|\s)?\w+", product, re.IGNORECASE)
    return recognized_pattern

when I print the products array I'm getting millions of strings like this:
<function main.. at 0x000001C9208D41F0>
how can I write the recognized pattern into the products array?

A: lambda returns an anonymous function, you just want to evaluate your function to get the result so you should write:
products.append(labeler(x))

Note that when you write this
for x in df['Product Name']:
    products.append(lambda x : labeler(x))

You might think that labeler(x) is being passed the x from your dataframe. But it is not. You wrote lambda x which, in the scope of your append, means that the x from the dataframe is being shadowed by the x from the lambda.

Unsurprisingly, confidence and resilience rank high on the list.
South Africa's approach to entrepreneurship needs to undergo a paradigm shift and developing the right mindset among young, would-be entrepreneurs is the starting point.
Since establishing and growing small to medium-sized businesses by contributing to job creation, it has the potential to lift the country's economy from the brink of ruins. Nurturing these mindsets are essential to set entrepreneurs on the right path.
To this end, the Allan Gray Orbis Foundation – an organisation that invests in the development of potential entrepreneurs in Southern Africa –commissioned the Global Entrepreneurship Network (GEN) and Mindcette an entrepreneurial consultancy to establish the true "DNA of a successful entrepreneur". The mindsets study titled Toward a Comprehensive Measure of Entrepreneurial Mindset, surveyed 3 661 South Africans using quantitative research, posing questions which required answers directly relating to the key mindsets of an entrepreneur.
"Developing the right mindset is where it starts in order to change our holistic approach to entrepreneurship. The Foundation takes this research and its results very seriously. It supports the work we do with growing young entrepreneurs in the country, and assists us with developing and providing more practical, workable future programmes," says Yogavelli Nambiar, CEO of the Allan Gray Orbis Foundation.
Kelly Shaver, president of Mindcette, says his organisation set out to create a survey instrument that not only described entrepreneurial mindsets in South Africa, but also one that could be used subsequently in national studies in other countries in the Global Entrepreneurship Research Network. Consequently, the Foundation was able to extract the 11 most commonly occurring themes that appear to characterise entrepreneurship. Each of these themes can be further unpacked to create 76 separate descriptors of characteristics – but, since many of these differ slightly, researchers found that it was more appropriate to focus their questions around 37 critical descriptors. These ranged from the individual's creativity and conscientiousness to whether they found it easy to be coached; from their resistance to conformity to their persistence and personal goals; their passion, resourcefulness, ability to accept risk, leadership ability, innovativeness, curiosity, emotional intelligence, financial goals, self-reliance and self-confidence.
According to the findings, there are 11 dimensions which may be used to commonly describe female entrepreneurs, and 10 that appear to characterise male entrepreneurs. Only two of these dimensions (Entrepreneurial Desire and Focus) are identical in male and female sample participants, although seven additional dimensions are common to both, varying only in terms of the extent to which they characterised the sample members. These dimensions included: confidence, diligence, innovation, leadership, motives, resilience and self-control. Among the male respondents, five of the ten dimensions distinguished those who reported being self-employed full-time from those who did not. That is, focus, confidence, leadership, resilience, and self-control. This contrasted the findings for female respondents, for whom only desire and focus showed differences between the self-employed and other respondents.
"Put all of these characteristics together and a clear picture of an entrepreneurial individual emerges – one who believes in themself so strongly that failing is not an option. However, should it happen, this person will keep going. These findings reveal a common thread – young, potential entrepreneurs are confident and resilient – two fundamental characteristics when embarking on an entrepreneurial journey," Nambiar says.
She says the survey's results takes the Foundation a step closer to identifying the traits shared by entrepreneurs. It provides a basis for describing the entrepreneurial mindset, the precise traits needed to take a business from startup to empire, and to create a single instrument that can be used to identify and measure the presence of these traits would. Additionally, some of the differences obtained between women and men could inform modifications in entrepreneurship programme structure, in order to tailor entrepreneurial training more closely to their individual strengths.
To monitor entrepreneurial mindsets and behaviour, Nambiar says the Foundation has been advised to repeat the survey in a year or two, to determine whether there have been any behavioural changes among South Africa's entrepreneurs.

When I got my iPad I thought it would be nice to use it as a midi sequencer, as it would be much more portable than the old 1980's Roland hardware sequencer I am currently using. I am a choir director and sequence piano accompaniments for the choir. I bought a USB to MIDI cable connector, and tried out a few inexepensive sequencer apps, but could not get it to work with my Clavinova. Has anyone had any success with this? Do I need to purchase the expensive Cakewalk program just to use it as a simple sequencer?
I have used the iRig MID2 interface with an iPad 3. It is not the cheapest interface, but it does seem to work. We have used it with Church Music Solutions app for one Lenten service. But I have also experimented with the app that comes with the iRig and it works for recording/playback.

Is Dez Bryant Going to the Redskins?
Is Dez Bryant going to the Redskins? So it is now old news that the Dallas Cowboys released their longtime wide receiver, Dez Bryant.
Although most people close to the situation believe the decision had everything to do with his potential 16.5 million dollar salary for 2018 there is quite a bit more to this story.
According to NFL Research Bryant was among the top five highest-paid wide receivers in the league, however, for the last three seasons his average received yardage was only 678 per year. This is significant as it is roughly half the amount of the other top four at his pay level.
Dez Bryant tweeted that this was not his decision at all. Various executives at the Dallas headquarters have come up with several different reasons for his release without mentioning the money.
Apparently, at least one executive did not believe Dez could win crucial one-on-one battles on the field. Another stated that he just didn't fit in correctly with their new young quarterback. Someone else said that Dez's explosive personality was weighing heavy on his teammates.
At this point the reasons why don't matter, the fact is that he is no longer a Cowboy and many NFL teams do not have the funds left in their salary cap to afford to offer him what he thinks he is worth.
Word on the street is that he turned down signing with the Baltimore Ravens for something in the neighborhood of 7 million. Spotract has Dez Bryant's value set at 9.4 million a year, so maybe he felt that deal wasn't good enough.
In any case, the Ravens went ahead and signed three more wide receivers so it doesn't look like they will have a spot for him anymore anyway.
This is all actually very significant since the draft has now taken place. There are precious few teams left with enough in their salary caps to offer Bryant a contract worth more than the 7 million he turned down from Baltimore.
Rumor has it that since the Redskins let Kirk Cousins go, they are one of the few teams that have the funds left to afford to pay Bryant something closer to his actual value. They also have a new quarterback who needs some weapons to throw to down the field.
Also, if Bryant and the Redskins can make a deal, at least he won't continue to lose the one-on-one battles on the field with Josh Norman. So think what that would look like, Dez Bryant in a Washington Redskins jersey.
