As a follow-up to last week's post about the early 19th-century associations of Afro-Argentines in Buenos Aires, I want to mention a digitizing project of the national archives: La Ruta del Esclavo.
The project was funded by UNESCO, which provides an introductory overview of slavery in Argentina.
The La Ruta del Esclavo site supposedly provides access to more than 500 digitized documents. Unfortunately, the interface is not very well designed and it's very difficult to find the digitized images.
To their credit, however, the archives has provided a very detailed listing online as to which documents are in the collection. Providing this degree of metadata is very important to researchers. And, in truth, the descriptive information about a collection is more costly and difficult to develop than the actual digitizing of archival material.
Anyway, it's a good effort and I suspect, like most libraries and archives, that the Archivo General de la Nación de la República Argentina does not have the resources for digital projects. As a librarian with extensive technological experience I really should get more involved in supporting digital libraries in Argentina.
Augunga, Kisama, Maravi, Monyolo, Mina Nagó, Sabalu … these were some of the names of the more than fifty African "nations" that existed in Buenos Aires during the first-half of the 19th century. In addition to the word nación these social groups were known as candombes, tangos, and tambos.
Popular perceptions of candombes is that these were secretive, underground groups focused on dancing and music. But, actually, these groups were recognized by the government and licensed under the name of Asociaciones Africanas. These African Associations essentially served as mutual aid societies that were responsible for, among other things, the education of emacipated slaves.
Candombes attended to the spiritual needs of its members, particularly through funeral rites and memory of the dead. Half of the funds of a candombe would be spent on burials and funeral services. Each candombe had a meeting house, which often included a temple or sanctuary. These candombe meeting houses were mostly, if not all, located in the southern parts of Buenos Aires. The meeting house of Sociedad Congo was located on the three hundred block of Av Independecia.
The candombes were highly politicized organizations. The original charter by the Argentine government in 1825 created just ten African associations. But internal conflicts among the groups resulted in more than fifty associations being formed by 1835.
Each candombe had an elected leader, an elder, the padre de nación. In an effort to maintain control over the African Associations, the government charter specified that the elections within each association must be overseen by the police. This control led to a patronage system between police and African leaders. In most cases, elders led an association for only a few years. But, in others, the leadership was much longer. The Nación Benguela was led by Joaquín Arriola for thirty years until 1864 when he was sued by opposing groups within the association.
I've written before about the decline of the Afro-Argentine population of Buenos Aires. In 1838 approximately one-fourth of the population was of African descent. At that time, approximately one-third had been born in Africa. Slavery in Argentina ended in 1813.
Update: Slavery in Argentina was not actually abolished until 1853. A law passed in 1813 guaranteed freedom to children born to slaves. The associations described here were the those of freed Afro-Argentines.
One study shows that the majority of slaves in Buenos Aires were the areas of the Congo and Angola.
One of the reasons for the internal strife among candombes was that members often came from different regions of Africa. [Ethnicity in studies of the African diaspora is a complicated issue, which I'm not going to address here]. A scholar who researched the names of the African Associations of Buenos Aires identified that 25 had names originating from West Central Africa, 14 from West Africa, and 10 from East Africa. Some bore non-African names (e.g., the group calling itself Bahiana represented former Brazilian slaves). Other groups had Catholic religious names, such as San Baltazar.
Despite the origin of the names, practices of a specific candombe didn't represent traditional customs of the corresponding place in Africa. The rituals and activities of a candombe resulted from the blending of different groups since not all members shared the same African ancestry. Many smaller groups did not have the resources to form their own associations, so they aligned with another group.
The Uruguayan artist Figari is known for his paintings of candombe scenes. While there are a greater number of accounts of candombes in Montevideo, the African Associations demonstrate the significant role of Afro-Argentines in early 19th century Buenos Aires.
For further reading on this topic, see "To Honor the Ashes of their Forebears": The Rise and Crisis of African Nations in the Post-Independence State of Buenos Aires, 1820 – 1860 by Oscar Chamosa in The Americas, January 2003 Vol 59, No. 3, pp 347 – 378.
Here's an odd house that I encountered while wandering the streets one Saturday. I've seen a few other houses in Buenos Aires of this same style but was surprised to come cross this one on Av Pavón in San Cristóbal.
Speaking of San Cristóbal I've also came across this little image gallery of photographs from San Cristóbal. Not a particularly good presentation of the images but it's a start.
I noticed that the 2007 edition of the Buenos Aires book fair already has its Web site up: Feria Internacional del Libro de Buenos Aires. It will run from April 16 to May 7.
Buried under the professional section of the site is a page about book production in Argentina. More than 21,000 titles were registered with Argentina agency of the ISBN during 2005, a 15% increase over 2004. Unfortunately, the stats don't differentiate between new titles and reprints. So, it's unclear exactly how many new titles are published.
By calculating the numbers on the book fair site, then the average print run for a book in Argentina was 3,520 in 2005. In reality, I suspect that most books receive even fewer printings here.
As for the type of books, 29% are fiction, 27% in the social sciences and the remainder in various non-fiction categories.
A footnote reveals that 4% of the titles were translated into Spanish from another language. So, I calculated that number to be 852 books for 2005. That strikes me as a very low number. Of those titles, 48% were from English, 13% from French, another 13% from Japanese, and around 4% each from German, Italian, and Portuguese. Oddly, 8% of the translated titles were indicated as being translated from Spanish. Huh? Perhaps it's regional translations, making a book more suitable for readers in Buenos Aires than, say, Madrid. I don't know.
It doesn't mention how many of those translated titles are fiction and non-fiction. That would be interesting to know.
And, after just a bit more research, I found more statistics about book production in Argentina. I don't have time to analyze those now but will post a summary later.
Early 1800s a family of singers – husband, wife, brother-in-law – tour the north of Italy, stopping in Piacenza and Reggio Emilia. Performances are becoming more scare as their style of comic opera falls out of fashion for the serious, grander sounds of Rossini. The troupe hears about opportunities in the Americas. The voyage is difficult, still by sail not steam. They play before the royal court in Rio de Janeiro, then head south into the towns of the Rio de la Plata.
The Buenos Aires that they find is not the pseudo-European capital of the later 18th century. The immigration boom has not yet arrived. Early opera productions are not full-length performances, just selections, highlights. Roles depend upon availability, a baritone sings the part of the tenor, a contralto passes herself off as a soprano. This singing family decides to settle in the area eventually becoming teachers, instructing others in the art of music.
The pattern of a family troupe traveling to South America from Italy was repeated throughout the early parts of the 1800s. The singers who came to Argentina in that time were never the leading performers. Buenos Aires received only the ones whose careers were fading, that never really got started, or that were just attempting to make a name for themselves.
Teresa Schieroni and Margherita Garavaglia are two such singers who arrived in Buenos Aires in the late 1820s. From here they traveled on to Chile and Peru before making their way across the Pacific to performances in south Asia. The women were to sail on to Calcutta but there are no reports of their arrival. Like most of us, the pair simply disappeared from history.
Some of the early singers may, in fact, have had very good voices but the opera profession in Italy, then as now, was overcrowded and competitive. Separate circuits developed for Central America and the Caribbean. European performers who traveled to Havana and Caracas rarely made their way to the southern part of the continent.
Serious opera in Buenos Aires languished until the 1850s, coinciding with the fall of Rosas. The mid-century century saw a new society emerging. In 1857 Buenos Aires opened the first Teatro Colón which featured Emma La Grua, one of the first top ranked singers to perform in Argentina. Opera season was starting in Buenos Aires.
What was opera in Buenos Aires like during the late 1800s? Coming in part III.
For most who pass along calle Suipacha, the plain, unassuming house next to Palacio Noel goes unnoticed. Thousands of houses and apartments in Buenos Aires posses more charming exteriors. Of course, as with many buildings in the city, you never know what is behind the facade. In this particular house, decades ago, many of the leading artistic figures of Buenos Aires partook in the dancing and drinking offered by their charismatic host, a monumental figure in Argentine literature, the poet Oliverio Girondo. Serving as hostess for these fortnightly soirées, while cultivating her reputation as a coquettish seductress, was his wife the writer Norah Lange.
Family wealth financed Girondo's global journeys and bohemian, but comfortable, lifestyle. In the 1920s Girondo lived in Paris and Rome, traveling widely while amassing a vast collection of sculpture, paintings, and reportedly, one of the largest private collections of gold pre-Colombian artifacts. Returning for good to Buenos Aires in 1932, Girondo re-assumed his leadership of the literary avant-garde much to the annoyance of Jorge Luis Borges.
Always scandalous and seeking publicity, Girondo sought ways to shock the bourgeoisie. He promoted his most famous book Espantapajaros (Scarecrow) by hiring a horse-drawn funeral hearse to parade an effigy of a "learned man" along the streets of Buenos Aires. After the stunt the papier-mâché "scarecrow" resided in Girondo's house. (I've heard that after Girondo's death that the scarecrow ended up with the Museo de la Ciudad but I have no idea if it still exists).
Girondo is hardly known outside the realm of Spanish-language literary readers despite the fact that a Catholic university in Indiana has an extensive collection of his works. Girondo, if not for his life alone, is overdue for discovery by the rest of the world.
One of my favorite museums in Buenos Aires is the Museo de Arte Hispanoamericano Isaac Fernández Blanco. (That's a long name!) It's located at Suipacha 1422 and is definitely worth a visit. True to its name, the museum has a nice collection of colonial Spanish-American material which are displayed in a very nice setting within the house.
The ground floor has a mostly religious theme. So, if you're looking for that colonial feeling which you find in, say, Lima then this is the place to go in Buenos Aires. Be sure to wander down into the basement which also has an interesting assortment of domestic items used by upper class porteños of the day.
The museum regularly sponsors some very good photographic exhibitions. The photo exhibitions generally don't have anything to do with colonial Spanish-America but provide a good reason to make recurring visits to the museum.
The house itself is worth a visit alone. But don't be fooled into thinking that this is actually a colonial house. It was built in 1921 by architect Martín Noel, but he didn't live in the main house. That belonged to his brother Carlos who was mayor of Buenos Aires from 1922 – 1927. Martín lived in the front part of the estate, the group of rooms that are part of the front wall. The brothers also had a famous neighbor that I'm going to mention in another post.
Robert's posting about Buenos Aires in bloom inspired me to walk over to Parque Lezama and take a look at the jacaranda trees which are so pretty this time of year.
The city has been doing work on Parque Lezama so it's becoming nice. Quite a bit of grass has been added to the areas that had turned to dirt and dust. The park is best on a weekday, when it can be a relaxing spot. On the weekends it gets way too crowded and rather bizarre.
I'm not really pleased with these photos. The exposure on the camera didn't want to cooperate. Anyway, the trees look much nicer in person.
Last week I mentioned that the best illustrated version of Charles Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle was a 1942 edition published in Buenos Aires. The librarian within me decided to track down the bibliographic information about this work. The Spanish title is "Viaje de un naturalista alrededor del mundo" and comes out to 617 pages.
I noticed that this version is cited in a number of Spanish articles about Darwin. But the first Spanish translation of Darwin was in 1902 by Constantino Piquer. (The first translation into Italian was 1872 and for those who love trivia, the first translation into Armenian was 1949).
Even though this 1942 Spanish edition was originally published by El Ateneo, a leading bookstore in Buenos Aires, I'm not sure about it's availability in this city. (Wait, I just learned that supposedly there is a copy at the Biblioteca Manuel Gálvez).Yet, thanks to the wonder of online databases I found it listed with a bookstore in Rome that specializes in Argentine monographs: Libreria El Sur.
Now, I'm very curious about this bookstore in Rome and the Argentine community in Italy. Argentina experienced a significant amount of Italian immigration over the decades. And a lot of those Italians moved back to Italy. So, I assume that one of those families must have opened this bookstore in Rome on Via Sebastiano Veniero. Whenever I go to Rome, it's going to be a place where I stop for a visit. I'm interested in hearing the story of these Argentine-Italian booksellers.

San Bernardino County transit committee votes to pursue new train service in place of Gold Line light-rail – San Gabriel Valley Tribune, Inland Valley Daily Bulletin
The following excerpt appeared in the San Gabriel Valley Tribune and Inland Valley Daily Bulletin on October 10, 2019. To read the full article, click here.
Plans to extend the Gold Line light-rail from Pomona through Claremont and to Montclair will cost $550 million. The big rail track like ones here at the Claremont Station will need to be moved for the 12.3-mile light-rail extension from Glendora to Montclair, Monday, Aug. 26, 2019. (Photo by John Valenzuela, Contributing Photographer)
By Steve Scauzillo
[excerpt]:
Signaling a change in course, a committee of the San Bernardino County Transportation Authority on Thursday, Oct. 10, voted to pursue an enhanced Metrolink rail system instead of extending the Gold Line light-rail from Los Angeles County into Montclair.
This marks the first time the authority has broken with a promise to support bringing the Gold Line service over the county line. The 8-3 vote went along east-west lines, as members from Big Bear Lake, Rancho Cucamonga, Colton, Fontana, Highland, Rialto, Yucaipa and the Third Supervisorial District voted in favor of the new proposal. Those opposed represent Chino Hills, Montclair and Ontario.
Montclair City Manager Edward Starr said the vote was a blow to the city, which has invested $500 million in housing, retail and office developments near what would have been the Gold Line stop at the Montclair Transcenter, a multi-modal transit hub. He said the city's new transit-adjacent housing in north Montclair would have provided 5,800 passengers a day to the Gold Line but an overlay of smaller trains on Metrolink tracks won't have the same frequencies, will be less convenient, and will cost more to ride and attract fewer riders.

WELCOME BABY EAGLE! First eaglet hatches in southeast DC nest
WASHINGTON - DC has a new eaglet! The baby eagle hatched early Wednesday afternoon in a nest that is situated 110 feet above the ground in an oak tree at the Metropolitan Police Academy in southeast DC.
The mother eagle, Liberty, and father eagle, Justice, have been raising eaglets for 11 years in that location. A crack was spotted in one of two eggs Tuesday, and around 12:30 pm, the egg hatched. It happened in full view of those who were watching the live eagle cam at the time-- and of course, excitement ensued.
Watch the live camera on YouTube!
Liberty and Justice have been busy protecting the eggs all week, amid the freezing cold temperatures. The eggs were expected to hatch sometime between March 14 and March 20.
The live web cam is made possible by Earth Conservation Corps and the Metropolitan Police Department, and is in its seventh year. Earth Conservation Corps brought eagles back to DC in 1994, and at the time, they hadn't been spotted in the city since 1946. ECC released 16 eagles from the National Arboretum between 1994-1996. Then, in 1999, a nesting pair returned, and ECC currently has three eagle nests in the DC area.
The group recently held a contest to name the soon-to-be eaglets, and voting closed Tuesday night at 9 pm. According to their website, Acting DC Police Chief Peter Newsham and former DC Police Chief Cathy Lanier are on the panel of judges who will decide which names are the winners.
For more information, go to www.eaglecam.org.
Another pair of eagle parents are also waiting for new eaglets to hatch. Mr. President and The First Lady have been busy guarding their nest at the National Arboretum. You can watch them at www.dceaglecam.org.

The moto blog: a hectic day at Paris-Roubaix
No-one gets closer to the action of a big race than a top photographer — or his motorbike driver. Luke Evans shares a unique viewpoint from the Queen of the Classics, Paris-Roubaix
Luke Evans April 12, 2015 6:54 pm
Cobbled Classics
We were lucky to finish Paris-Roubaix today. I parked up the motorbike on the inside of a corner on the cobbled sector 11 (Auchy à Bersée). It was near the gravel on a line that the riders could take so I put the wheels on a strip of grass with a shallow ditch on the left.
While Graham was taking photos on the bend I sat on the bike watching the big field clattering past. Just then a rider lost his front wheel and went down, causing a slow motion pile-up which filled the track.
>>> John Degenkolb wins the 2015 Paris-Roubaix
As I looked back to see that Graham was getting the shots, one of those bright yellow Mavic scooters with a pillion holding spare wheels, squeezed around the mayhem and as he came alongside me his wheels banged into my bike pushing it forward. I tried to get a footing but it was on the lower left side. Bike and rider toppled into the ditch.
I jumped clear but when I got up I was looking at the underneath of the bike. It was upside down. No-way can one person lift a bike like that and as I faffed about trying to find something solid to clap onto, another photographer and a driver began to heave the thing back up while shouting for help from spectators. It was as if we had spun off in the Monte Carlo rally.
We righted the bike, quick check, looks ok, fired up first time.
As we rode back through the team cars the only problem was the left hand mirror was completely coated in mud. That's when you know your bikes been upside down in a ditch.
There is no race like Roubaix. We make a lot of short cuts to get around the race as it's not possible to pass on the cobbled sections.
Team Sky lead the peloton in the 2015 Paris-Roubaix (Watson)
There are cuts that we make every year and there are new cuts to try, sometimes nicked from other motos who we follow. It's like a high speed treasure hunt with the prize being the sight of barriers and fans when we arrive back on the race route, hopefully ahead of the race.
You do have to concentrate on the cobbles and the short cuts on open roads require extra vigilance too. It's always a tiring race to follow but one of the most fun.
>>> Luke Rowe: eighth in Roubaix a sign of things to come
My best moment of the day was being offered a glass of fizz by a very jolly family whose front garden gave directly onto one of the cobbled sectors. We talked about how convivial the folk are around here and they told me about their daughter who was enjoying working in London and had an English boyfriend.
They took photos of one of the blokes sitting on my bike and he embraced me French style. Then Graham ran back to the bike and we roared off. Good laugh that, lovely people.

India's current account deficit soars to record 6.7%
Mar 28, 2013, 11:09 pm SGT
http://str.sg/ZMg7
NEW DELHI (AFP) - India's current account deficit hit a record 6.7 per cent of GDP in the last quarter, official data showed on Thursday, underscoring the nation's weak finances.
The worse-than-expected deficit for the three months to December stemmed mainly from large oil and gold imports and weaker exports amid the global economic downturn.
The figures were more bad news for the Congress-led government which is struggling to stimulate India's economy, whose growth for the financial year to March 31, 2013 is expected to be five per cent - the weakest pace in a decade.
The hefty current account deficit, the gap between inflows of foreign currency and outflows, totaled US$32.6 billion (S$40.5 billion) or a record 6.7 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP).
That was up from US$22.3 billion in the previous financial quarter to September representing 5.4 per cent of GDP.
Analysts had expected a current account deficit of around six per cent of GDP.
Business group Assocham called the new data "extremely disappointing".
"The current account deficit reaching to 6.7 per cent level is untenable," said Assocham president Rajkumar Dhoot.
Last weekend, India's finance minister P. Chidambaram loosened debt market rules to draw more overseas investment to finance the current account deficit, noting it "can be financed only through foreign inflows".
India is seeking to narrow its current account deficit and boost growth in order to avoid the threat of a sovereign debt rating downgrade by global credit ratings agencies.
In September, the government initiated a string of liberalisation measures to open up sectors such as retail, insurance and aviation to foreign investors and jump-start growth before it faces voters in 2014.
Mr Chidambaram has promised a "next generation" of reforms to further pry open the still heavily regulated economy and return it to high growth.
India's central bank said last month it would consider more steps to restrict gold imports and help stem the widening current account deficit.
Many Indians - especially in rural areas where there are few banks - purchase gold in the form of jewellery, bars and coins as an investment.
Energy-scarce India is also heavily dependent on imported fuel to power its economy, importing some 80 per cent of its crude oil needs.

Google's Nest Egg: Attainable Data From The Internet Of Things
by AdExchanger // Thursday, February 13th, 2014 – 12:07 am
"Data-Driven Thinking" is written by members of the media community and contains fresh ideas on the digital revolution in media.
Today's column is written by Joe Fullman, director of digital strategy at Arnold Worldwide.
It's official: Google revealed yesterday that its purchase of smart home equipment company Nest closed last week.
When we first learned of the deal in January, many thought the most interesting thing about it was Nest's $3.2 billion price tag. Google's offer was 60% above Nest's most recent $2 billion valuation and 10 times its projected future revenues. The fact that only 1.1 million households had one of the company's devices at the time of acquisition made the exit all the more impressive. The deal, which received regulatory approval from the FTC last week, was one of the largest in Google's history. Only the Motorola Mobility and DoubleClick deals were larger.
Nest's biggest product to date is a thermostat that combines an array of sensors with the computing power of the cloud to optimize the energy usage of heating, ventilation and cooling systems. Thermostats might seem like a bit of a shot in the dark for a company that has traditionally had trouble making money with hardware. But it's not.
At its core Google has always done two things really well:
• Use technology to create utility people need
• Show people the best ad when they get there
Everything else the company does is simply a means to an end. Every project Google undertakes, from Android to ZMOT, is either meant to provide fuel for Google's knowledge products or satisfy Adwords' insatiable hunger for eyeballs and ad dollars.
The acquisition of Nest is Google doing what Google does best — hacking its way into nascent channels to ensure that Adwords will have a seat at the table.
Case in point: For the first decade of its existence. Google made billions of dollars without making any hardware at all. But its need to ensure the future of Google advertising on mobile operating systems led to the acquisition of Android.
Ten years later, and 20 months after the Motorola acquisition, some conclude that the company "failed" at making devices. The $9.6 billion loss Google took on the sale of the Motorola Mobility hardware business to Lenovo is staggering, one that seems to prove critics of the deal mostly right.
Yet, looking too closely at the mechanics of Motorola's divestiture ignores the stakes of the game in which Google is playing. With 79% of global smartphone market share, Android has managed to transform the multipolar mobile world of 2008 into a two-horse race with Apple. And if the secondary market for low-end smartphones is any indication, mobile devices are nearing the peak of the global adoption curve.
With saturation comes commodification — a situation that looks better for a software-focused Google than it does for the more vertically integrated iOS. The Motorola patent arsenal that Google intends to share with Samsung will likely discourage Apple and the Rockstar Consortium from stirring up any more trouble for Open Handset Alliance OEMs on the intellectual property front.
The overall position of the Google mobile portfolio across Nexus, Android, cross-platform applications (Maps, Mail, Chrome, etc.) and, most importantly, ads has never been stronger. What more could they have possibly hoped for?
I bring this up because Motorola and Nest are intimately connected at a level that transcends allegory. If the Motorola acquisition was about securing intellectual property to shore up relationships with key partners (Samsung, LG and HTC), and the divestiture was about exiting a mature hardware market, then the timing of the Nest acquisition was no coincidence. If you believe a widely quoted story in TechCrunch, Tony "Father of the iPod" Fadell and his team of 200 (including about 100 former Apple employees) will make up the core of Google's post-Motorola hardware group. Sound familiar?
I believe Google got into the smart home business for the same reason that they got into the smartphone business. Five years ago, mobile was the next big thing. Five years from now, we'll have the same wistful recollections of a time before the "Internet of things" changed everything. By 2020, the "Internet of things" will consist of more than 30 billion devices, generate $309 billion in revenue to suppliers and produce nearly $2 trillion in annual global economic value, according to Gartner.
Despite assurances from Nest CEO Tony Fadell, a number of perennially Google-skeptic lobbying groups, such as EPIC and the Center for Digital Democracy, raised concerns about Google's use of data generated by Nest devices. EPIC's Mark Rotenberg returned his own Nest thermostat, lamenting inevitable intrusion given the fact that "Google doesn't respect boundaries," according to the Los Angeles Times.
No one will treat this issue more gingerly than Google because it has $3.2 billion on the line, but Rotenberg's point is valid. When you look back at the history of Google — and the two things they've always done well — you can't blame people for being worried. Even if the current generation of Nest devices isn't selling "auto-away" data as a column append to your Acxiom house file, the writing is on the wall.
"History has shown that privacy policies do change," Search Engine Land's Danny Sullivan pointed out in The New York Times.
"They won't hand over Nest data to Google, and Google mines it for whatever they want," he added, "but there could be incentives or reasons why it might make sense to tie it to a Google account."
My guess, as a lowly ad man, is that Google would not risk souring the public on Nest by pushing a broad opt-in at this stage. A more gradual approach seems prudent. The natural place for Google to begin producing value from its purchase of Nest is by folding anonymized data into Google Analytics' cross-channel attribution modeling capabilities — and, by extension, its targeting capabilities. Google might even be able to accomplish this without a major overhaul of the Nest privacy policy.
In the long run, the output from Nest thermostats could provide Google with one key piece of information they might not already have: dynamic residential IP addresses of registered users.
By combining the IP address of an always-on Google device with information from devices within the home that may or may not be signed into the user's own Google account, the company finally has a solid method to associate devices that belong to a household — smart TVs, over-the-top devices, tablets, Withings scales or network-attached printers, to name a few — with Google accounts and households.
The use case for this data would have been relatively nebulous in 2008, but today's approach to data management doesn't require defined objectives. Instead, it can be piped into a Google data lake and continuously correlated until it begins to produce value. The amazing possibility presented by this data today (and tomorrow) is that Google doesn't need to know the questions they're going to be asking with it.
At the simplest level, it might tell Google when users who weren't logged into their Google accounts were at home. At a generalized and abstracted level, this data could be analyzed against specific geographies or psychographics to improve omni-channel attribution models.
With a few tweaks to the Nest privacy policy, or by issuing a new policy for next generation devices with next generation functionality, as suggested by Danny Sullivan, the value of the data becomes even greater.
By tying the tablet streaming a file to a television over Wi-Fi to an IP address associated with a Nest device, Google might be able to back into a physical address. Combined with time of day and knowledge of who lives in the house, Google might even be able to deduce who was watching.
There is value in all data, but obviously the closer that an individual action comes to a unique identifier, the more value that it can create. That's what every DMP talks about but it's very difficult without scale — and scaling ideas like Nest is a task that Google seems up for. It's hard to imagine that Google couldn't do a better job at connecting users together than Drawbridge or measuring attribution across channels better than Convertro or VisualIQ.
If Nest devices become more closely integrated with mobile devices, things might get even more interesting. Assuming that future generations of Nest devices may control the temperature within a room, adjust the lighting or the volume of music based on a user's defined preferences, it may be practicable for Google to induce users to pair their mobile devices with Nest. In this case, Nest could provide insights about who was in what room when a particular pre-roll advertisement appeared on YouTube, or even more closely model the influence of linear TV.
Admittedly most of this may be half-baked speculation, but the overall direction appears pretty clear. Google is moving away from a mature technology (mobile) and toward a rapidly growing frontier (things). The fact that Google is making an investment into the Internet of things, a market that is already slated to explode, will only increase the speed at which these new technologies will begin to transform the experience of our environment. Assuming the company's core values and vision haven't changed, it will bring along the two things that it does best along for the ride.

Equifax — The Inherent Liability of Data Aggregation
The company was breached, exposing 143 million Americans, and they waited over a month to tell us.
Business Review Board · Sep. 12, 2017
How safe is your personal information? Not very, based on the latest mass breach of data last week at Equifax, one of the three credit-reporting giants, impacting about 143 million Americans.
But it gets worse.
"The company said in a statement the unauthorized entry occurred mid-May through July 2017, as criminals 'exploited U.S. website application vulnerability' to access files ranging from social security numbers, birth dates, addresses and driver's license numbers," Fox Business reports. "Hackers also accessed the credit card numbers of about 209,000 consumers in the U.S. and other documents with personal identifying information for about 182,000 people in the U.S. Equifax said it discovered the breach on July 29, 2017 but did not publically disclose the information until Sept. 7, 2017."
That's right — the company waited more than a month to disclose the bad news. That was plenty of time for executives to sell off $2 million in company stock.
Consumers can find out if their data was compromised at a Equifax's dedicated website. But in yet another hack against those whose data was compromised, accepting the "free" credit monitoring and identity theft protection service Equifax offered as compensation included some fine print — that those signing up could not be part of any class action lawsuit against the company. After that was discovered, Equifax removed that stipulation.
The inherent danger of data breaches by hackers targeting personal data aggregators like Equifax is a growing, and likewise, the corporate liability for those breaches should be commensurate.

The NK Maribor youth product is also the youngest player to feature for Slovenia at international level at the age of 19.
Delhi Dynamos have today completed the signing of Slovenian playmaker Rene Mihelic on a one-year contract.
Rene played a pivotal role in the ISL title-winning campaign of Chennaiyin FC last season as he notched up two goals and four assists in his 14 appearances with the club. The Slovenian's ability to cause havoc from dead-ball situations made him a vital cog in the South Indian side's impressive run till the very end.
"Mihelic is a player we had identified from the start because he offers a lot both from dead ball situations and from open play. His creativity from the midfield will add extra quality for us when going forward. He is a motivated player who wants to build on his past success," Dynamos Head Coach Josep Gombau said.
A graduate of the youth academy of NK Maribor, Mihelic at the age of 19 became the youngest player to feature for Slovenia at the international level.
After leaving Maribor in 2010, Mihelic spent three seasons with Portuguese top tier side Nacional and in that period, he also had a loan spell with Bulgarian giants Levski Sofia. The midfielder has also featured for Hungarian giants Debrecen and Israeli outfit Hapoel Ra'anana.

Healthcare in Lincolnshire was, until July 2022, the responsibility of five clinical commissioning groups covering Lincolnshire West, Lincolnshire East, North East Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire, and South Lincolnshire.

History
From 1947 to 1974 NHS services in Lincolnshire were managed by the Sheffield Regional Hospital Board. In 1974 the boards were abolished and replaced by regional health authorities. Leicestershire came under the Trent RHA. From 1974 there were two area health authorities, North and South covering the county. From 1982 there was one district health authority. Five primary care trusts were established in the county in 2002: East Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire South West Teaching PCT and West Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire and North East Lincolnshire Care Trust Plus.  East Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire South West Teaching PCT and West Lincolnshire were merged in 2006.  They were managed by the North and East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire Strategic Health Authority and East Midlands Strategic Health Authority.

Sustainability and transformation plans
In March 2016 Allan Kitt the Chief Officer of South West Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group was appointed the leader of the Lincolnshire Sustainability and transformation plan footprint. It was proposed to downgrade Grantham A&E to an urgent care centre.  Critical care, vascular surgery, 'hyper acute' stroke services and emergency paediatrics were to be centralised in Lincoln and there was to be a reduction of 750 full-time healthcare posts across the county by 2021.

In 2018, the STP signed a deal with Cambio Healthcare Systems for real-time dashboards, using the company's Patient Flow Manager product to help forecast capacity and demand in November 2018.  This would be made available to all the health and care organisations in the STP.

Commissioning

In July 2017 it was announced that North East Lincolnshire Council and the clinical commissioning group would have a joint chief executive.

Primary care
Out-of-hours services are provided  by Allied Health South Lincolnshire, which is a GP federation, the Lincolnshire Out of Hours service and the GP-led Urgent Treatment Centres at Scunthorpe General Hospital, Louth Hospital, Boston Pilgrim Hospital, Lincoln County Hospital, Stamford Hospital and Skegness Hospital.

Acute services
Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust and United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust run hospitals.

In 2020 it  was reported that ambulance response times for category 2 calls, which include heart attacks and strokes, in rural East Lincolnshire were poor with 10% of callers having to wait around 90 minutes, against a target of 18 minutes.  The integrated care system produced a document in 2022 saying that they did not currently have a robust response approach to ambulance handover delays, which were some of the worst in England.

Mental health and community services
Mental health services are provided by Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust and NAViGO Health and Social Care CIC, while community services are provided by Lincolnshire Community Health Services.

Book review: The Makers of American Wine
By Andy Perdue on January 6, 2013
In "The Makers of American Wine: A Record of Two Hundred Years," author Thomas Pinney brings into focus the evolution of the American wine industry.
The Makers of American Wine: A Record of Two Hundred Years is a history of U.S. wine production.
And it has been an evolution, as post-Revolutionary War viticulture and winemaking was nothing short of an adventure and a lengthy series of frustrating events. American winemakers had to battle not only phylloxera and a climate that did not seem to want vinifera grapes planted in this continent's soil, but also an attitude by members of the young nation, who seemed to prefer rough spirits to fine wine.
On top of that was the dark years of Prohibition (and the dry years leading up to the "great experiment") and the effects it had for more than three decades after Repeal in 1933.
Pinney is arguably the foremost expert on the history of American wine, having previously written "A History of Wine in America, Volume 1" and "Volume 2." He shows he is perfectly skilled to write this history as well.
Pinney profiles 13 important characters from the past two centuries, giants who carried a nation – often kicking and dragging – into an era of winemaking and wine appreciation that once was the dominion of Europeans. Today, of course, the United States is not only the fourth-largest producer of wine in the world (and one of the highest in quality), but also the No. 1 consumer of wine on the planet.
Profiles on American wine history
John James Dufour: He was a European who arrived 20 years after the beginning of the Revolutionary War who semi-successfully put together groups of investors to plant vineyards and make wine in Kentucky and Indiana, both using native American grape varieties.
Nicolas Longworth: Born in New Jersey, Longworth followed in Dufour's footsteps to the "west," growing wine grapes in the Cincinnati area and making the French hybrid grape Catawba famous during the nation's first century.
George Husmann: He led Germans used to winemaking to a somewhat successful career in Missouri. Husmann actually went to California during the gold rush, then returned to Missouri in the 1850s to grow wine grapes into the Civil War. Husman also wrote the nation's first journal dedicated to wine, called "Grape Culturist." Husmann ultimately returned to California, where he became involved in the region's early grape-growing efforts.
Charles Kohler: While others hold the title of "father of California viticulture," Pinney argues Kohler is one of the people responsible for lifting California wines to new heights. Kohler owned a company called Kohler and Frohling, which exported California wine throughout the United States, bringing a previously unknown wine region to fame. Kohler worked primarily in Southern California.
Andrea Sbarboro: When one thinks of American wine, especially in California, the Italian influence cannot be overlooked, and Sbarboro was among the earliest. He is best known for launching Italian Swiss Colony in Sonoma County in the late 1800s with Pietro Rossi and building a pre-Prohibition reputation for quality in Northern California. At one point, they built an 11 million gallon capacity.
Percy T. Morgan: The California Wine Association is not necessarily treated well by history, but Pinney paints a bit different picture of the CWA and its founder, Percy Morgan. He built the CWA into a force – a monopoly, in fact – that tended to figuratively crush its competition while literally crushing millions of tons of wine grapes. The 1906 San Francisco earthquake was but a temporary setback form the CWA, which charged forward toward Prohibition.
Paul Garrett: Garrett got into the wine business through family connections and turned out to be a natural salesman. He built a national market prior to Prohibition, based primarily in the South. His most famous contribution was a wine called Virginia Dare, made originally with the Scuppernong grape.
Ernest and Julio Gallo: Jumping into the post-Prohibition era, Pinney describes the oft-told history of the Gallo brothers from the point of view of how they basically bootstrapped their way into wine dominance at a time when the American wine industry was struggling to find anyone to drink their wares. He also describes how they created a jug wine industry while actually trying to build fine wine – something it would take the company years to achieve – and many would argue that Gallo still has not shaken that monkey from its back.
Frank Schoonmaker: Schoonmaker was a wine importer and author who eventually came around to promoting American wines, though he was an early and vocal critic of California's efforts to steal European wine names such as Chablis, Burgundy and Champagne with cheap imitations. This is, of course, an issue that still resonates today, especially with the European Union.
Maynard Amerine: The American wine industry needed science to move forward. Ultimately, that fell to Amerine, who was an early leader in moving the science and study of winemaking and viticulture to the University of California-Davis (from the Berkeley campus). His tireless research helped map where different grape varieties should be planted up and down the Golden State, and his work continues to direct the industry today, years after his death.
Konstantin Frank: Moving back to the East Coast, Pinney tells the story of Frank, a German (born in Russia) who moved to the United States and basically forced vinifera vines to grow where they had not grown before – the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York. His work led to one of the most exciting cool-climate regions in the United States today.
Robert Mondavi: If anyone embodies modern American winemaking, it is Robert Mondavi, a tireless promoter and lover of life. Pinney's profile of Mondavi takes us inside his struggles and successes from the Central Valley to the Napa Valley.
Cathy Corison: It seems Pinney felt compelled to include a woman amid his 13 profiles to show the development of female winemakers, and he chose Corison, a Napa Valley winemaker of high repute. Much of this chapter somewhat chides the industry for overlooking women in an industry dominated by men, and it feels a bit forced. While it was interesting to learn about Corison's journey, it was almost anticlimactic to end with this profile.
One certainly could argue that it would have been appropriate to include profiles of William Bridgman or Walter Clore to show the origins of the Washington wine industry, and that is probably the only thing lacking in this superb history of American wine.

Q: Adding text labels to a plotly scatter plot for a subset of points I have a plotly.express.scatter plot with thousands of points. I'd like to add text labels, but only for outliers (eg, far away from a trendline).
How do I do this with plotly?
I'm guessing I need to make a list of points I want labeled and then pass this somehow to plotly (update_layout?). I'm interested in a good way to do this.
Any help appreciated.

A: You have the right idea: you'll want to have the coordinates of your outliers, and use Plotly's text annotations to add text labels to these points. I am not sure how you want to determine outliers, but the following is an example using the tips dataset.
import pandas as pd
from sklearn import linear_model
import plotly.express as px

df = px.data.tips()

## use linear model to determine outliers by residual
X = df["total_bill"].values.reshape(-1, 1)
y = df["tip"].values

regr = linear_model.LinearRegression()
regr.fit(X, y)

df["predicted_tip"] = regr.predict(X)
df["residual"] = df["tip"] - df["predicted_tip"]
residual_mean, residual_std = df["residual"].mean(), df["residual"].std()
df["residual_normalized"] = (((df["tip"] - df["predicted_tip"]) - residual_mean) / residual_std).abs()

## determine outliers using whatever method you like
outliers = df.loc[df["residual_normalized"] > 3.0, ["total_bill","tip"]]

fig = px.scatter(df, x="total_bill", y="tip", trendline="ols", trendline_color_override="red")

## add text to outliers using their (x,y) coordinates:
for x,y in outliers.itertuples(index=False):
    fig.add_annotation(
        x=x, y=y,
        text="outlier",
        showarrow=False,
        yshift=10
    )
fig.show()

Small Batches, Big Flavors
Old Tennessee Distilling Company Offers High-Quality Products and Service
A lively, delicious, and unforgettable experience at Old Tennessee Distilling Company begins with an exit.
By Emily Mook
Suituated merely 50 yards from I-40 off Exit 407, the dynamic distillery awaits your visit. Given its remarkable range of topnotch products, high-energy "whiskey runner" atmosphere, and friendly staff, you owe it to yourself to take the exit, step inside, and stay a while.
Old Tennessee Distilling Company was started in 2013 and officially opened in 2015 by cofounders Kent Merritt and Sid Blalock.
A significant amount of growth occurred in those first two years. "We grew quite a bit," Merritt recalls. "We started out making moonshine, vodka, and gin in 2014. In 2015 we purchased a steam-jacketed still that allowed us to expand our product line to include bourbon and whiskey."
Today, the distillery continues to thrive and innovate while proving that bigger doesn't always mean better—its dedication to creating small, high-quality batches sets it apart.
"Our process starts with growing and grinding our own heritage corn right here in Sevierville," notes Merritt. "In 2021 we released a five-year-old bourbon that we produced from seed to bottle. We grew the corn, fermented the mash, and distilled it right here within a 10-mile radius. It is as local as it can get. We made it in our 400-gallon still, which yields about 35 gallons per batch. It's a very small-batch, handcrafted, locally-sourced product."
That bourbon, Sid's Select™ Premium Tennessee Butcher's® Bourbon, is the realization of a dream that started over seven years ago.
"Our Sid's Select™ bourbon is named in honor of our founder, Sid Blalock," Merritt says. "He and I started this project together, and he was very proud of it. The bourbon is 94 proof and made with 71% corn and 22% rye. It has caramel and vanilla notes, and the finish is very clean and smooth."
The distillery also offers an impressive 17 flavors of moonshine.
"Our goal is to produce moonshine flavors that are very bold," Merritt notes. "People are welcome to stop by for a free sample. The most popular flavor is our blackberry. We also have a 140.7 proof traditional clear moonshine that was inspired by our location at the point where I-40 meets Exit 407!"
If cocktails are more to your taste, the distillery offers several specialty cocktails every day. Be sure to try the Blackberry Lemonade Smash, which combines their blackberry moonshine and lemonade.
No matter what your beverage preferences are, you are sure to have a fun and memorable experience at Old Tennessee Distilling Company.
"Interacting with customers is definitely the most rewarding thing about my job," says Merritt. "I want every single customer to have a positive experience: to come in and feel welcome, try our products and watch us make them, and remember us. People come here to have a good time, and our goal is to deliver that."
Come on by Old Tennessee Distilling Company to relax, take a moment, take a sip, and get a taste of Tennessee.

Q: Creating a self-contained installation file for pymssql for CentOS I'm trying to deploy a Python application on a machine that due to system and organisation requirements can't have gcc installed on it, so I need to create a self-contained installation file for pymssql (normally it requires FreeTDS and gcc gcc-c++).
I've managed to get rid of the FreeTDS requirement by using
export PYMSSQL_BUILD_WITH_BUNDLED_FREETDS=1 before installing pymssql, but it still fails on the gcc requirement.
Is there any way to pre-compile pymssql so it can be deployed and installed on a machine with no dependency on neither FreeTDS nor gcc?

A: I assume you are using the CentOS system Python as it would be difficult to install a different (up-to-date) python without access to gcc.
Setup a VM (e.g. in VirtualBox) with the exact same CentOS version, hosted on a different machine. In that VM install the required gcc, and install virtualenv ( I recommend doing that from source, the one you can install with your package manager is quite often outdated).
On the VM, create a virtual environment e.g. with virtualenv /opt/util/pymssql, this virtual environment will have references to the real python but since you are going to move it to an equivalent CentOS, that is ok.
Activate the environment (  source /opt/util/pymssql/bin/activate ) and use pip to install all the libraries that you need.
When all is installed and working, tar the /opt/util/pymssql and its subdirectories and put it on the "real" CentOS machine in the same location. That should give you working code without a compiler on the "real" machine.
The actual directory (in the example /opt/util/pymssql) for the virtual environment is not important, but you have to use the path that will be used on the "real" machine, some of the files in the virtual env will have the path hardcoded.

A: The proper way to do this is to build your own CentOS package.  It looks like there was, at one time, a package for pymssql, but it was abandoned because of lack of maintainers, but you could use the spec file in Fedora's git repo as a starting point:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/pymssql.git/tree/pymssql.spec

A: Set up VM with same OS and install needed tools (gcc) as Anthon suggests but instead of creating and zipping virtualenv (which is kind of a hack) build binary wheel and install this wheel in target system.

Abstract | Art | Image Processing
I recently found myself processing photographs until they lost any resemblance to the original. By repeatedly combining the output of various basic processes they soon became a mixture of noise, compression artifacts, and colours.
But eventually, a shape or pleasing pattern would emerge from the mess and I could start being more selective with the processing to try and encourage complimentary features and structure within an image.
2405 | pareidolia"
2405 (above) is a good example of the process; It's one of my favourites, but I don't know what it started as, and have no way to reproduce it.
The destructive nature of these processes was a concious choice. I'm used to working in a world where everything is undoable, and no changes are lost. It's freeing to work with no path back to earlier versions. While searching for patterns it almost doesn't matter what you do, only that you do something. All changes have potential.
Starting with no plan or theme in mind, whatever finally emerges from the noise is a culmination of all the things I think I've seen in the chance arrangement of some pixels.
This is something I will continue to explore.
Some of these will end up on flickr when there's more of a collection, and I want to make the highres files and/or prints available to purchase somewhere too.
Uhh, Gary?

Deebing Heights neighbourhood guide
LifestyleQld June 2018 edition.
From a rustic past of grazing farmland and acreage homesites, Deebing Heights has experienced stellar growth in the past few years and is now a thriving urban community dominated by new homes.
The population has exploded from just 344 people recorded in the 2011 Census, to 2,023 in the 2016 Census – an increase of 488% in just five years!
Deebing Heights covers an area of 10.5 square kilometres, and is characterised by new homes, new roads and modern infrastructure such as underground power and NBN access. The precinct between the Centenary Highway and Cunningham Highway to the north is the most developed so far, with more land developments underway south of the Centenary Highway, including acreage home sites.
With all this development, further growth is anticipated. The new Deebing Heights State School on Rawlings Road opened in 2016, and is designed to accommodate 1,000 students by 2026. A new shopping centre has been approved off Grampian Drive, and a rail line is proposed with a train station to be located near the Centenary Highway/Grampian Drive roundabout.
Suburb Area: 10.5 square kms
Population: Est. over 2,500 people
Median House Price: $439,900
Median Land Price: $193,000
House Sales in last 5 years: 247 (increase of 233% on previous 5 years)
Land Sales in last 5 years: 416 (increase of 570% on previous 5 years)

Technology is always improving or getting older... it's simplified or becoming too complex… it's lowering prices or costs are crazy high. Everyone here at Metropark certainly understands how scary, complex, and costly telecom services have become.
We deploy simplification which lowers costs and increases efficiency. From greatly lowered negotiated service costs to consolidation savings, Metropark can "Show You the Money" !!

Q: Ionic 5 / Angular 9 - Error importing componente to page Im having troubles with the import and use a component in a page.
I have and component named prueba.component.ts that is exported by a module named prueba.module.ts
prueba.module.ts:
    import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
    import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
    import { PruebaComponent } from './prueba.component';

    @NgModule({
      declarations: [
        PruebaComponent
      ],
      imports: [
        CommonModule,
      ],
      exports: [
        PruebaComponent
      ]

    })
    export class PruebaModule { }

And i have a page named home.page.ts than has a module home-routing.module.ts
home-routing.module.ts:
import { NgModule, CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA } from '@angular/core';
import { Routes, RouterModule } from '@angular/router';

import { HomePage } from './home.page';
import { PruebaModule } from 'src/app/componentes/prueba/prueba.module';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';

const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: '',
    component: HomePage
  }
];

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    RouterModule.forChild(routes),
    CommonModule,
    PruebaModule
  ],
  exports: [RouterModule],
  declarations: [],
  schemas: [CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA]
})
export class HomePageRoutingModule {}

I understood that this was enough to be able to use the component within the page, but it continues presenting the image error.
I appreciate any help you can give me.

A: Here I guess you got confused between module and routing-module.
If you want to use your PruebaComponent in another module then you need to import the PruebaModule in that module. Let's suppose that your module name is home.module.ts then you need to add PruebaModule in home.module.ts and not in home-routing.module.ts
So basically your home.module.ts should look like this.
@NgModule({
imports: [
CommonModule,
PruebaModule]
})
export class HomeModule{ }

and now simply you can use preubaComponent in your home-routing.module.ts
So home-routing.module.ts would look something like this.
    const routes: Routes = [{
             path: '',
             component: HomePage}
          ];
  @NgModule({
     imports: [
     RouterModule.forChild(routes)
    ],
     exports: [RouterModule]
     })
  export class HomePageRoutingModule {}

And now you can use the component name in Homepage component.
So your homepage.component.html would simply have the below line.
<app-prueba></app-prueba>

This week we chat about one of the most expertly acted films of the year, the moving story of an unlikely friendship between Dr. Don Shirley, an accomplished classical piano player, and Tony Lip, an Italian bouncer who is enlisted to drive Shirley on a concert tour through the racially divided deep south. Though it may be easy to predict, the film is based on real-life events and the relationship between Shirley and Lip. Green Book has seen rave critical and audience response, but is not without its critics. We try to navigate the complicated material it covers in this latest conversation about a film that definitely makes us feel.
