Q: Create external table hive, location contains multiple files inside CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE IF NOT EXISTS LOGS (LGACT STRING,NTNAME STRING)
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t'
LOCATION '/user/hive/warehouse/LOGS/test';

under 'test' folder I am writing files daily. for eg:
/user/hive/warehouse/LOGS/test/20170420
/user/hive/warehouse/LOGS/test/20170421
/user/hive/warehouse/LOGS/test/20170422

I cannot see any data inside LOGS table that i have created.
But, I create the table using
LOCATION '/user/hive/warehouse/LOGS/test/20170422';

I can see that days records.
I want to see all the data under /test directory in my HIVE table, also the /test directory is populated daily with new files.

A: Option 1
In order to support sub-directories
set mapred.input.dir.recursive=true;

and if you Hive version is lower than 2.0.0 then also
set hive.mapred.supports.subdirectories=false;

Option 2
Create a partitioned table
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE IF NOT EXISTS LOGS (LGACT STRING,NTNAME STRING)
partitioned by (dt date)
ROW FORMAT DELIMITED FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t'
LOCATION '/user/hive/warehouse/LOGS/test';

alter table LOGS add if not exists partition (dt=date '2017-04-20') LOCATION '/user/hive/warehouse/LOGS/test/20170420';
alter table LOGS add if not exists partition (dt=date '2017-04-21') LOCATION '/user/hive/warehouse/LOGS/test/20170421';
alter table LOGS add if not exists partition (dt=date '2017-04-22') LOCATION '/user/hive/warehouse/LOGS/test/20170422';

It would be easier to manage if you keep your directories using the standard convention, e.g. dt=2017-04-20 instead of 20170420

A: By default hive reads only the files (not directories) inside the specified location in external table. If you want to enable adding the directories, then set the below parameter:
set mapred.input.dir.recursive=true;

Military Retirement and Divorce in California
Divorce, Military Family Law
Military service members who perform at least 20 years of active duty service receive a retirement pension for the rest of their lives upon retirement. The Uniformed Services Former Spouses Protection Act (USFSPA) confirms that military pensions are property that can be divided in a divorce. Under the USFSPA, state courts were granted the right to choose how or whether to divide military retirement in a divorce, legal separation, or annulment. State courts may grant up to half of a service member's retirement pension as part of a divorce. So how does California divorce law treat military pensions?
How Does California Divorce Law Treat Military Retirement?
California is a community property state, which means that any asset acquired or earned during marriage is presumptively divided equally at the time of a divorce. Examples of assets include real property, bank accounts, vehicles, and retirement accounts, including military pensions. As such, military retirements are considered assets subject to division in a divorce. Unlike other states, there is no required length of marriage for a member's spouse to be entitled to a portion of the member's military benefits.
The military retirement system is a government-funded, defined benefit plan. Members contribute through their service, as opposed to through monetary contributions. They must complete at least 20 years of active duty service before they are eligible for retirement benefits. This is also referred to as being "vested." Upon retirement, the member receives monthly compensation and is eligible for disability benefits and participating in a survivor annuity program. There are additional nonmonetary benefits, including ongoing exchange and commissary privileges and medical care. The overall amount of retirement pay depends on the amount of time served, basic pay at retirement, and annual cost of living adjustments (COLA or COLAs). In general, military retirements have the potential to be an extremely valuable asset with lifetime benefits.
Before a California court can divide a military pension, it must have jurisdiction, or the authority to be able to do so. For civilians, jurisdiction is a fairly easy analysis. If a person has been living in the State of California for at least six months and in the county of filing for at least three months, the requirements for personal jurisdiction have been met. While military members also acquire residency after the same period of time, their domicile does not automatically change due to the location of their duty station. A military member's choice of domicile can potentially impact whether or not California has jurisdiction over the member's pension.
What is Domicile?
A member's domicile is his or her "State of Legal Residence" (SLR). It's the place a member considers as the true, fixed, and permanent home. For those entering the military, their domicile is the state they resided in at the time they entered the service. During the years of their service, members may elect to move their domicile to another state where they are stationed. Taxation is typically the primary consideration in changing domicile, as some states, such as Florida and Texas, have no personal state income tax. If a member is lucky enough to be stationed in one of the seven states that does not tax individual wage income, he or she often chooses to change domicile.
Requirements to Change Domicile
In order to change one's SLR, or domicile, the following requirements must be met:
Physical presence in the new state;
Intention to remain in the new state permanently or treat the location as a new permanent home; and
Intent to abandon the old domicile
Demonstrating an intent to change domicile includes taking steps such as registering to vote, obtaining a driver's license, and registering vehicles in the new state. Completing forms such as DD Form 2058, DD Form 114, and an updated W-4 are also required.
How Does Domicile Impact Retirement?
In general, when someone files for divorce, that person consents to California having jurisdiction to determine all issues, including property division. When the other spouse files a response, the same consent is given. If, however, a military spouse files for divorce in California but has a different SLR, that spouse must make a very important decision. That decision is whether or not to object to California having jurisdiction over dividing the member's military retirement.
Many military members simply assume that California is the right state to use and never think through their options. Alternatively, they may simply not know that they have a choice in this regard. It is undoubtedly easier to have one state handle all divorce issues, including military retirement division. That said, state laws vary greatly, and easier does not automatically mean better.
Some states require the parties to be married for at least 10 years before the military spouse is eligible to receive a portion of the member's benefits. Other states will not equally divide the retirement. These differences can translate into very results for both members and member spouses. As such, military members should be very careful to research their SLR's law as it pertains to retirement benefit division.
How to Object to California Having Jurisdiction?
Once a military member decides that it is in his or her best interests to have his or her SLR assume jurisdiction over the member's military benefits, a clear objection to California's jurisdiction must be made. The best and easiest way to object is in the initial pleadings. For a member who is petitioning for divorce, that would be in the Petition under Item 11c "Other." For members responding to a divorce, the objection should be noted in the Response, also under Item 11c "Other." The statement should clearly indicate that the military retirement is not subject to California jurisdiction and contain a specific request that the California Court acknowledge that it has no jurisdiction due to the member's objection.
It's very important for the member to remain consistent throughout the divorce proceedings and continue objecting to California's jurisdiction. That does not mean that California cannot determine issues related to custody, support, or even the division of other property issues. The member's military retirement is an isolated issue that does not impact California's jurisdiction over any other issue related to the divorce, including marital status.
Protecting military retirement requires careful planning and consideration. Domicile can be a very effective way of doing so; however, it is not intended to be a way of "gaming" the system. A judge will see through an attempt to deprive the other spouse of a valuable asset and be carefully scrutinizing whether or not the member's domicile is genuine.

Sometimes I wonder, if I had been alive during the Civil Rights movement, who would I have been? Would I have marched on Washington? Would I have traveled to protests? Or would have simply watched on TV and read transcripts of MLK's speeches printed in the newspaper?
It doesn't matter if it's something small, like not hearing back from a potential romantic match on Tinder, or large, like being passed over for an important job. What makes rejection so upsetting, so intolerable, is the possibility that it indicates something really, really wrong with us – our skills and abilities, or our worthiness and lovability.
Last summer, I learned a secret to managing millennials. After years of pleading for better communication from them, I accidentally stumbled upon a language we have in common: emojis.
As the program director of a regional junior sailing program, I've been working with and managing college and high-school aged employees for over a decade. I oversee 40 sailing instructors and 20 sailing courses over ten intense summer weeks. I love the work, especially being a manager; I thrive on creating an environment that's enjoyable for both our students and instructors alike.


It only takes a quick look at Facebook Messenger to realize that there are already a large number of businesses that have chatbots ready to respond to your needs, or a least take your order for pizza. Chatbots are a rapidly growing area of development at the moment and could be set to see huge growth over the next year. Twitter now wants to remind businesses about the benefits of its own platform, and has been sharing the results of a recent survey to show how effective it can be in encouraging customer spending and boosting customer satisfaction.
The Twitter survey, started last year in conjunction with Applied Marketing Science, initially focused on the airline industry in the US, before being extended to incorporate the telecoms and food industries. The survey concluded that when a customer tweets about a business and then receives a response from that business, they are then willing to spend between 3 percent and 20 percent extra from that business when they next make a purchase. That spending also tends to be at the higher end of the range if the response to their tweet initial is received quickly. The survey also noted that customers were more likely to then talk about the business online, and also recommend it to others.
Twitter is keen to remind businesses of the value of its platform in customer communications, at least partly because it will come under increasing threat from the use of chatbots. Of course businesses can use both platforms, but the financial benefits of the automation provided by chatbots are likely to become increasingly tempting to businesses, even if the response to a customer is less personal and less likely to generate the same level of customer loyalty.
Chatbots are becoming more prevalent on the back of ongoing improvements in AI technology, allowing for a natural conversation. Many of the chatbots available at the moment are still very limited in the interactions that are possible, but they do provide a customer with the means to get an immediate response to a much wider variety of questions or concerns that an app or website could easily provide. The other main advantage is that in theory they require less jumping between apps. If you're already within a messaging app, you can engage with a chatbot without leaving your existing conversation.
Chatbots aren't particularly visible yet. If you didn't know they existed it could be easy to miss them. But that's likely to change as they improve, as companies start to rely on them more, and as the various messaging apps continue to compete for users. Twitter has a fight on its hands, but still provides a level of personal interaction that, at least for now, chatbots can't match.

Salving with honey goes way back in history in every culture that gathers honey from the bees. The herbs are powdered to 60 – 80 mesh fineness and mixed into the honey until it becomes thick but still pliable. The mix is spread on a gauze pad instead of directly into the wound so as not to disturb the healing process. Use on open cuts, wounds, pustules sores, decubitus ulcers and fistulas. Even deep wounds will heal by first intention and not by granulation and generally leave no scar. Perineal tearing can be treated with baths filled astringent, antiseptic and vulnerary herbs and with the honey salve. One case of a seriously large haemangioma that was not resorbing was treated successfully with the honey salve.

Martin Luther King Jr Assasination
Posted on December 27, 2021 Author elizabeth37 Comment(0)
Martin Luther King, Jr. Assassination
Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 4, 1968, an event that sent shock waves reverberating around the world. A Baptist minister and founder of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC), King had led the civil rights movement since the mid-1950s, using a combination of impassioned speeches and nonviolent protests to fight segregation and achieve significant civil rights advances for African Americans. His assassination led to an outpouring of anger among Black Americans, as well as a period of national mourning that helped speed the way for an equal housing bill that would be the last significant legislative achievement of the civil rights era.
King Assassination: Background
In the last years of his life, Dr. King faced mounting criticism from young African American activists who favored a more confrontational approach to seeking change. These young radicals stuck closer to the ideals of the Black nationalist leader Malcolm X (himself assassinated in 1965), who had condemned King's advocacy of nonviolence as "criminal" in the face of the continuing repression suffered by African Americans.
As a result of this opposition, King sought to widen his appeal beyond his own race, speaking out publicly against the Vietnam War and working to form a coalition of poor Americans—Black and white alike—to address such issues as poverty and unemployment.
In the spring of 1968, while preparing for a planned march to Washington to lobby Congress on behalf of the poor, King and other SCLC members were called to Memphis, Tennessee, to support a sanitation workers' strike. On the night of April 3, King gave a speech at the Mason Temple Church in Memphis.
In his speech, King seemed to foreshadow his own untimely passing, or at least to strike a particularly reflective note, ending with these now-historic words: "I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I'm happy tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord."
In fact, King had already survived an assassination attempt in the shoe section of a Harlem department store on September 20, 1958. The incident only affirmed his belief in non-violence.
Assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.
At 6:05 p.m. the following day, King was standing on the second-floor balcony of the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, where he and his associates were staying, when a sniper's bullet struck him in the neck. He was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead about an hour later, at the age of 39.
Shock and distress over the news of King's death sparked rioting in more than 100 cities around the country, including burning and looting. Amid a wave of national mourning, President Lyndon B. Johnson urged Americans to "reject the blind violence" that had killed King, whom he called the "apostle of nonviolence."
He also called on Congress to speedily pass the civil rights legislation then entering the House of Representatives for debate, calling it a fitting legacy to King and his life's work. On April 11, Johnson signed the Fair Housing Act, a major piece of civil rights legislation that prohibited discrimination concerning the sale, rental and financing of housing based on race, religion, national origin or sex. It is considered an important follow-up to the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Martin Luther King was shot dead while standing on a balcony outside his second-floor room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. News of King's assassination prompted major outbreaks of racial violence, resulting in more than 40 deaths nationwide and extensive property damage in over 100 American cities. James Earl Ray, a 40-year-old escaped fugitive, later confessed to the crime and was sentenced to a 99-year prison term. During King's funeral a tape recording was played in which King spoke of how he wanted to be remembered after his death: "I'd like somebody to mention that day that Martin Luther King, Jr., tried to give his life serving others" (King, "Drum Major Instinct," 85).
King had arrived in Tennessee on Wednesday, 3 April, to prepare for a march the following Monday on behalf of striking Memphis sanitation workers. As he prepared to leave the Lorraine Motel for a dinner at the home of Memphis minister Samuel "Billy" Kyles, King stepped out onto the balcony of room 306 to speak with Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) colleagues standing in the parking area below. An assassin fired a single shot that caused severe wounds to the lower right side of his face. SCLC aides rushed to him, and Ralph Abernathy cradled King's head. Others on the balcony pointed across the street toward the rear of a boarding house on South Main Street where the shot seemed to have originated. An ambulance rushed King to St. Joseph's Hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead at 7:05 P.M.
President Lyndon B. Johnson called for a national day of mourning to be observed on 7 April. In the following days, public libraries, museums, schools, and businesses were closed, and the Academy Awards ceremony and numerous sporting events were postponed. On 8 April King's widow, Coretta Scott King, and other family members joined thousands of participants in a march in Memphis honoring King and supporting the sanitation workers. King's funeral service was held the following day in Atlanta at Ebenezer Baptist Church. It was attended by many of the nation's political and civil rights leaders, including Jacqueline Kennedy, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, and Ralph Bunche. Morehouse College President Benjamin Mays delivered the eulogy, predicting that King "would probably say that, if death had to come, I am sure there was no greater cause to die for than fighting to get a just wage for garbage collectors" (Mays, 9 April 1968). Over 100,000 mourners followed two mules pulling King's coffin through the streets of Atlanta. After another ceremony on the Morehouse campus, King's body was initially interred at South-View Cemetery. Eventually, it was moved to a crypt next to the Ebenezer Church at the King Center, an institution founded by King's widow.
Shortly after the assassination, a policeman discovered a bundle containing a 30.06 Remington rifle next door to the boarding house. The largest investigation in Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) history led its agents to an apartment in Atlanta. Fingerprints uncovered in the apartment matched those of James Earl Ray, a fugitive who had escaped from a Missouri prison in April 1967. FBI agents and police in Memphis produced further evidence that Ray had registered on 4 April at the South Main Street roominghouse and that he had taken a second-floor room near a common bathroom with a view of the Lorraine Motel.
The identification of Ray as a suspect led to an international manhunt. On 19 July 1968 Ray was extradited to the United States from Britain to stand trial. In a plea bargain, Tennessee prosecutors agreed in March 1969 to forgo seeking the death penalty when Ray pled guilty to murder charges. The circumstances leading to the plea later became a source of controversy, when Ray recanted his confession soon after being sentenced to a 99-year term in prison.
During the years following King's assassination, doubts about the adequacy of the case against Ray were fueled by revelations of the extensive surveillance of King by the FBI and other government agencies. Beginning in 1976 the House Select Committee on Assassinations, chaired by Representative Louis Stokes, re-examined the evidence concerning King's assassination, as well as that of President John F. Kennedy. The committee's final report suggested that Ray may have had co-conspirators. The report nonetheless concluded that there was no convincing evidence of government complicity in King's assassination.
After recanting his guilty plea, Ray continued to maintain his innocence, claiming to have been framed by a gun-smuggler he knew as "Raoul." In 1993 Ray's lawyer, William F. Pepper, sought to build popular support to reopen Ray's case by staging a televised mock trial of Ray in which the "jury" found him not guilty. In 1997 members of King's family publicly supported Ray's appeal for a new trial, and King's son Dexter Scott King supported Ray's claims of innocence during a televised prison encounter. Despite this support Tennessee authorities refused to reopen the case, and Ray died in prison on 23 April 1998.
Even after Ray's death, conspiracy allegations continued to surface. In 1999, on behalf of King's widow and children, Pepper won a token civil verdict of wrongful death against Lloyd Jowers, owner of Jim's Grill, a restaurant across the street from the Lorraine Motel. Although the trial produced considerable testimony that contradicted the original case against Ray, the Justice Department announced in 2000 that its own internal investigation, launched in 1998 at the King family's request, had failed to find sufficient evidence to warrant a further investigation.

It will be used to test the viability of a full-sized space elevator.
Questions still remain about what materials could be used to build the elevator.
If successful, a space elevator would be a cheaper way of reaching space.
On September 22nd — after waiting out a delay imposed by Typhoon Mangkhut — a satellite launched containing a miniature space elevator designed by researchers at Shizuoka University. It intends to serve as a test model of a future space elevator that the Obayashi Corp. hopes to construct in the next 30 years.
The idea of a space elevator was first inspired by a Russian recluse scientist named Konstantin Tsiolkovsky who, in observing the Eiffel Tower, imagined a "celestial castle" attached to it in geosynchronous Earth orbit.
Though there is a practical draw to consider here — a space elevator is an appealing project because it would, in theory, cost less to send something up a space elevator than via a rocket — there are other hard practical realities to consider as well. As Jason Daley notes in Smithsonian, there is currently no material strong enough to work as the elevator's cables are supposed to work. "Even carbon nanotubes," he writes, "the strongest material we've devised so far, would shred under the stress."
How should a space elevator work, anyway? Well — the further we get from the earth, the greater the likelihood that whatever is escaping earth will encounter centrifugal force. There is a point between earth and space where the gravitational tug and centrifugal force are perfectly balanced against each other. That's called the 'geosynchronous equatorial orbit.' It's here that Obayashi imagines a space station of some kind. Beyond the floating structure occupying this point — at the other end of the line — would be a weight. The combination of this weight and the centrifugal force of the weight pulling on the other end of this line would keep the 'elevator' line in place.
Though this isn't explicitly stated, one would imagine that one benefit of testing a mini-space elevator would be in testing how well this machine in miniature works at a certain level of gravity.
What else would need to be tested? What sort of elevator cable material could withstand space debris, be strong enough to hold weights going up and down the line, and also potentially change size the further it gets away from the reach of the gravity of the planet, for one. Perhaps there can be a collaboration with the British RemoveDebris Mission, where a net is fired out into space to wrap itself web-like around any potential passing debris.
The full extent of Obayashi's plans are ambitious. It isn't just the elevator they're building; if the video on their landing page is any indication, they're planning to build a slew of things. From a structure at the Mars Gravity Center — a point above the earth where the gravity is the same as it is on Mars — to a "Low Earth Orbit" gate from which one can deploy satellites back to earth.
The goal is to have the elevator completed, up and running, by 2050.


After years of pouring money into their homes, during their senior years borrowers can use reverse mortgages to take some cash out. The money can be a welcome supplement to Social Security payments, while allowing older people to keep living in their homes. Is a reverse mortgage right for you?
HECMs allow participants to borrow against some of the equity in their homes.Unlike a traditional Home Equity Line Of Credit (HELOC), there are no monthly payments. Instead, borrowers get paid. When the borrower no longer lives in the home, the cash and interest must be repaid to the lender. During the life of the loan, borrowers keep title to their homes.
To qualify for a reverse mortgage, homeowners must be at least 62 years old.They have to own their homes outright or have such a low balance on the existing mortgage that it can be paid off with the new loan. Homes that qualify must be single family or a two- to four-unit homes with one apartment occupied by the buyer. Some U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development-approved condominiums or manufactured homes also qualify for a HECM.
The amount of money borrowers can get depends upon the current interest rate, the premium on mortgage insurance, and the age of the borrower. If there is more than one borrower, the age of the younger one is used. In general, the more equity the borrower has and the older she is the more money she can get.The FHA has capped reverse mortgage limits at $625,500 or the selling price of the home. The loans don't have income requirements. The disbursements are not taxable.
Borrowers can get payments as a lump sum, equal monthly payments over a fixed period of months, a line of credit or a combination of these options. If the borrower receives more money than the home is worth, she will never owe more than the value of the home.
The FHA requires participants to meet with an approved HECM Counseling Agency prior to applying for a reverse mortgage. This counseling is low-cost or free.
A reverse mortgage could have a potential impact on the borrower qualifying for means-tested government programs like Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income, especially when the disbursement is taken as a lump sum.
Lenders charge loan origination and other fees. The loans usually have variable interest rates tied to short-term indexes like the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). Interest cannot be written off until the loan is repaid. Debt increases as the equity in the home is depleted. Fewer assets are available to leave to the borrower's heirs. Participants must still pay utilities, homeowners insurance and property taxes.
Prior to your mandated counseling session, prepare a budget and a list of questions. Don't sign anything until you fully understand it. A reverse mortgage could potentially make a big difference in how comfortably you live during your senior years.

Ep138: "I'm going to (insert park here)!"
Feb 8, 2017 | Podcast episode
In this episode: This week we talk about where the popular phrase "I'm going to Disneyland(/Disney World)" came from, a new luxury dinner experience available at Disneyland at 21 Royal Street, and we talk about a new patent that could change the way we enjoy attractions in the future by catering to our moods.
This last week sports fans joined together to celebrate a yearly ritual known as the Super Bowl. We were happy to see that the Shooting Star drones by Intel used during the Star Bright Holidays show at Disney Springs last November were a part of Lady Gaga's half-time show. Even though the footage was pre-recorded due to flight regulations by the FAA where they stated:
The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) latest public service announcement is a reminder that the airspace around NRG Stadium in Houston is a No Drone Zone for the Super Bowl.
Temporary Flight Restrictions will prohibit certain aircraft operations, including unmanned aircraft operations, or drones, within a 34.5-mile radius of NRG Stadium in downtown Houston, Texas on game day. The restrictions will be in effect from 4 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 5.
If you're curious and want to read the entire bulletin, you can go here:

The video (below) from Intel's Twitter account shows the drones "landing after the performance".

During the episode we also mentioned the first Super Bowl commercial to feature the now famous line "I'm going to Disney World" (or "I'm going to Disneyland"). Phil Simms, former Quarterback of the New York Giants, had the honor of being the first to use this phrase. Now, 30 years later, it has permanently been weaved into pop culture.
Some episodes ago we talked about "leaked" audio clip of what we thought was Ariana Grande and John Legend singing the title track for the upcoming film, Beauty and the Beast. Although we still can't say for sure where that clip came from we can now say that an official version of the song has been released by Disney. You can listen to the entire track below. Let us know what you think below!
In case you missed it, here is the final trailer for the film:
Also, our next movie meet-up has been set! We will be getting to together to watch Beauty and the Beast on Saturday, March 18, 2017. Thank you to everyone that voted to help us decide. Details on time, location and (hopefully) links to pre-order tickets will be available soon.
An extended trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales comes at us with an entirely different feel as the music used for the trailer is 'Ain't No Grave' by Johnny Cash. This is a bit a departure from the normal music that we hear for the PotC franchise but we can't tell if this is a one-off thing for the trailer or if the song will appear in the film. We know one thing for sure: it sounds great and goes really well with the trailer . Do you think they'll use the song in the actual film or was it just for the trailer?
A patent filed by Disney describes how a guest's emotions can be used to alter the attraction experience. The patent titled: "Sensing and Managing Vehicle Behavior Based on Occupant Awareness" outlines how the use of cameras, biometrics and wearable devices like the MagicBand can be used to change the course of the attraction. The attraction would be able to change it's speed, adjust spin force and frequency, adjust attraction temperature, or even alter scenery based on the facial expressions the attraction is detecting. This might mean that you can create your own experience (almost every time) just by changing expressions while you ride but what happens when several guests are riding together. How does the attraction know who to adjust for? How do you feel about the possibility of having these "smart rides" in the parks? Leave your comment down below.

Diary We weren't really planning to go to Eldoret, but it just happened to be on the way to the Mount Elgon border with Uganda. Clare had been here when she was about 16 in 1898 and Queen Victoria was on the throne and a very different town it was then! In fact, she couldn't really remember anything about it at all. We stayed at a campsite owned by a real Asian/Kenyan character called Raj. He also helps his family run the Ken-Knit factory (school uniform jumpers and blankets) in town which employs 1600 people in a factory full of British machines from the '60's. We arrived at his "new" campsite about 20kms out of town when he had some of his family over from London to inspect his new resort. It is, without doubt, the best place we've camped on this trip so far. A little bizarre having a conversation with his sister after lunch, where she said she was thinking of emigrating from England to South Africa as "the schools are about a third of the price and England just has too many immigrants these days" Raj knew someone who had known Clare's sister's father in law many years ago and so before we knew it we had been invited to afternoon tea with a white colonial lady complete with aged black male retainer in a nylon pinny pushing a tea trolley with squeaky wheels with tea and cake at 4pm. What century have I landed in?? PIC SHOWS: KEN-KNIT FACTORY.

Q: Papaparse/vfile doesnt work- Garbled output I posted a question regarding parsing large csv files Jquery crashes while parsing large csv file. It involves reading a csv file and tablifying it. I tried using the code given in one of the responses but it doesn't work..
Here's my entire code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
 <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />

<input type="file" id="fUpload" />

I have Papaparse-4.1.0 and virtual-list-master folders within my current working directory. But when I open this in a browser and upload a csv file, no table is printed below. There seems to be no defects in the upload function since the answerer showed a fiddle demo of the same; I'm just reusing it here. You can see the fiddle here:http://jsfiddle.net/8e99j5v9/5/
Can someone please tell me why my code doesn't work?
EDIT
I thank Sergiu for proposing a working solution but the resultant table that is delivered is thoroughly garbled.. Rows and columns are overlapping like this

Can someone help?

A: JavaScript code is interpreted/executed in the order it appears in the HTML structure. It will also only "have access" to HTML before it. So $("#fUpload") will try and find an element with id #fUpload in body, but taking into account what I said before (the order in which stuff is "loaded/executed") it won't find anything, because <input type="file" id="fUpload" /> is after this script tag.

Common Name Galapagos giant tortoise
Scientific Name Chelonoidis spp.
Spanish Name Tortuga gigante de Galapagos
Endemic
Size Shells can reach up to 1.5m in length
Galapagos giant tortoises can weigh over 300kg!
Average Lifespan Thought to live for upwards of 100 years
Predators No natural predators (threatened by introduced species of pig, rat, dogs and hatchlings that prey upon eggs and hatchlings)
Food Grasses, flowers and cactus fruits (herbivores)
Animal Class Reptilia
The largest living species of tortoise on Earth, Galapagos giant tortoises can weigh up to 300 kg in the wild (even more in captivity) and are thought to live for approximately 100 years. There are at least 10 different species of giant tortoise in Galapagos, differing in size, shell shape and geographical distribution. Two distinct shell shapes are seen among species – domed and saddle-backed, which have evolved due to differences in the height of the vegetation they feed on.
The number of wild giant tortoises on the Galapagos Islands has declined greatly. Their population was estimated to be around 250,000 in the 1500s when they were first discovered. However, the tortoises have been saved from extinction by captive breeding programs and it is hoped that conservation programs will continue to help their populations thrive.

Driver crashes into hydrant, home and cars
A sheriff's deputy attempted to stop a silver Acura Integra that ran a red light at the intersection of North Emerald and West drives in Vista, but the driver failed to yield, sheriff's Sgt. Martha...
OCEANSIDE (CBS 8/CNS) - A sheriff's deputy attempted to stop a silver Acura Integra that ran a red light at the intersection of North Emerald and West drives in Vista, but the driver failed to yield, sheriff's Sgt. Martha Hernandez said.
It happened in the 4000 block of Olive Drive in Oceanside, around 3:00 a.m. Tuesday morning.
Law enforcement officers followed the Acura onto Olive Drive, where it struck a fire hydrant, went airborne and landed atop two vehicles parked in the driveway of a residence near College Boulevard, Hernandez said.
Firefighters found the young man who had been behind the wheel lying outside of the car, Battalion Chief DeAvila of the Oceanside Fire Department said.
He was first taken to Tri-City Medical Center, then was airlifted to Scripps La Jolla in an unknown condition.
The broken hydrant sent a geyser of water 20 to 30 feet into the air until city water department personnel shut down the flow about 10 minutes later.


Using a low numerical cut-off point, the authors are unlikely to have missed any infections with recognised urinary pathogens. This still leaves a large number of women with unexplained symptoms. Although the numbers are not directly comparable with the many studies which followed Kass's (1) work in the middle of the last century, the conclusion is the same: infection is not detected in the urine of as many as one half the number of women who present with symptoms suggestive of urinary tract infection (UTI). Many courses of antibiotics are prescribed for these women and there is an urgent need to reduce them. Although Dr. Gágyor and his colleagues are cautious in the conclusions they draw from this study, there is little doubt that ibuprofen will now be prescribed for urinary symptoms in women.
Our work over the course of some years suggests there is an alternative. If urine specimens from women with urinary symptoms which yield a negative culture on a primary isolation medium after overnight incubation in air are re-incubated for a further 24h in a CO2 incubator (7 % CO2) many yield high bacterial counts in pure culture. The majority of the isolates were Lactobacillus spp. If cultures are incubated initially for 48h in a CO2 incubator they may yield other bacterial species in high counts and pure growth, Gardnerella vaginalis and some species of streptococci being the commonest. Once alerted to the possibility that these bacteria might be significant pathogens in some circumstances,(2,3 ) we undertook a 2y prospective study (4) of 51 women who had persistent urinary symptoms in spite of repeated courses of antibiotics, and whose urine – sent to the laboratory by GPs at a time when they had symptoms – had yielded a 'fastidious' organism in pure culture and high count. All specimens – suprapubic aspirates of urine (SPA), urethral swabs, and mid-stream specimens of urine (MSU) were cultured using the 'fastidious organism' protocol. Effercitrate (a palatable preparation of potassium citrate mixture, which was the standard medication for cystitis in the pre-antibiotic era) was given to all patients for relief of symptoms. Any patient who developed severe symptoms came to the hospital for MSU collection and culture. If this yielded a pure culture of a recognised urinary pathogen they were given a 3day course of an appropriate antibacterial agent, and reminded to keep up a good fluid intake and to empty the bladder as completely as possible every 2 hours.
From the findings of this study we postulated that repeated courses of antibiotics may distort the balance of the commensal flora of the urethra, killing the sensitive species such as staphylococci and some streptococci. facilitating multiplication of resistant species such as lactobacilli ,which might then cause symptoms due to inflammation of the urethra and possibly the periurethral glandular tissue. This suggestion was supported by the clinical finding of paraurethral tenderness on vaginal examination. Characteristically, the symptoms of which the patients complained were related to this area – dysuria with urge incontinence, and often dyspareunia. A careful clinical history can point towards this diagnosis. We concluded that antibiotics were implicated in the causation of symptoms, providing an additional reason for withholding them. Explanation both to patients and their doctors, ,and close liaison with the laboratory were fundamental to the success of this study.
In this response I have used the terms that were in use at the time of the studies. However, since that time important advances in the field of the microbiome/ microbiota of urine and the urinary tract have been made by the multidisciplinary team working in Chicago under the leadership of Professors Linda Brubaker and Alan Wolfe, using DNA sequencing.(7,8) This is leading to wide acceptance that urine has an extensive microbiome ,and that microbiology laboratories must take account of this so that their protocols can be tailored to the clinical needs of patients and their doctors.

1. Why did you choose a 10^2 cfu/mL cutoff to determine status of microbiological culture? Generally speaking, the norm in practice is to use 10^5 cfu/mL, as does the IDSA in defining significant bacteriuria. If you had done so, I suspect that status of microbiological culture would have consisted in an even more accurate predictor of women who can benefit from antibiotic treatment.
2. I also question your decision to transpose bioequivalence accepted margins to your definition of non-inferiority. Bioequivalence margins define a range of pharmacokinetic parameters within which the clinical effect of a single drug is deemed to be equivalent. However, in the case of non-inferiority, we seek to define the range of a clinical parameter (outcome) within which two drugs would be considered equivalent. In this case, the range of non-inferiority is very difficult to estimate, considering the lack of evidence.
Author´s reply: Thank you for this comment. We agree that the potential antimicrobial properties of ibuprofen are an important factor which is, however, still under discussion. Obad et al. showed that for E. coli, the main causative agent for urinary tract infection (UTI), no inhibition zones were obtained in a disk diffusion assay with ibuprofen. Thus, for UTI the antimicrobial effect of ibuprofen remains unclear. Further research is needed, as planned in a Scandinavian UTI trial by Vik et al.
I read with interest the article by Gágyor I, Bleidorn J, Kochen MM et al. Ibuprofen versus fosfomycin for uncomplicated urinary tract infection in women: randomised controlled trial (BMJ 2015;351:h6544), but I am wondering why the authors haven't taken into consideration that Ibuprofen is a non-antibioticum (1, 2) and that it has antimicrobial activity like many other non-antibiotics. If note of the non-antibiotic activity was made in the protocol and results sections, then this would have led to a clearer understanding of the observed beneficial effects of ibuprofen described in the conclusions. The use of ibuprofen for 'symptomatic treatment' implies that one is relying on its 'painkiller' activity whereas in practice it may well be that it is the broad spectrum antimicrobial activity of ibuprofen that is the most significant. In particular the possibility for microbial resistance development again ibuprofen should also be discussed, even it is "only" used as painkiller in UVI investigation.
The antimicrobial activity of the large and diverse groups of non-antibiotics is unfortunately often overlooked when treating patients suffering fromnon-infectious diseases. Regrettably, it is not mandatory to mention these antimicrobial "side effects" in the information materials supplied, even though they might be positive.
1. Kristiansen JE. 1991. Antimicrobial activity of nonantibiotics. ASM News 57:135–139.
We agree with Al-Wali that (if an antibiotic treatment approach was chosen) women should be treated with firt line antibiotics to reduce the emergence of resistance.
- German guidelines on UTI recommend Trimethoprim, Nitrofurantoin and Fosfomycin as first line choices (1).
- In Germany the use of nitrofurantoin is restricted. According to the summary of product characteristics provided by the manufacturer nitrofurantoin is allowed only, "when more effective and less risky antibiotics can not be used". The consequence is, that nitrofurantoin as first line therapy represents an off-label use.
- ecological risks of an increased use of fosfomycin ("emergence of resistance") were discussed and taken into account during the development of the german guideline. Based on the current evidence in 2011 the experts rated the risk as low.
We further agree with Al Wali that data on local antimicrobial resistance are needed. During the conceptualization of the study the information on resistant rates of causative agents in the german primary care setting were scarce. In the meantime a cross sectional study (2) showed low resistance rates for fosfomycin and nitrofurantoin (4.5%, 2.2%) and intermediate rates for trimethoprim (17.5%).

We have read the research findings of Gagyor et al. with interest. However, we wish to point out that the choice of using fosfomycin in the treatment arm wouldn't be advisable as first line treatment for uncomplicated urinary tract infections. Other antimicrobials such as nitrofurantoin would be preferrable.The reason being that this antimicrobial is reserved for highly resistant organisms and in particular extended spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing Gram-negative bacteria. Furthermore, fosfomycin in its intravenous form is now licensed for the treatment of a range of highly resistant Gram-negative organisms; therefore the frequent use of oral fosfomycin to treat a very common infection i.e. UTI would invalidate its use because of the inevitable emergence of resistance.
It is always best practice to test the urine for culture and sensitivity to establish not only the nature of the infecting organism and its sensitivity pattern but also the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in a particular demographic region.

Uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTI) in general practice are known as often self-limiting conditions as shown in placebo controlled trials (1, 2) and reported by women (3). In this pragmatic trial we did not compare two drugs but rather two different treatment strategies: symptomatic treatment first and antibiotics only if symptoms persist or worsen versus antibiotic treatment first. Relief of symptoms and cure of infection are different aspects of treatment indeed but the main aspect for women is symptom relief (4). For this purpose, symptomatic treatment may be effective in many cases, in particular since increasing resistance rates request prescribing antibiotics only to those who really need them. With this rationale, the Ethic Committees did not see ethical problems with the trial.
Furthermore, it is known that many otherwise healthy women have bacteria in their urine. To focus on bacterial cure as a treatment target is not recommended any more (5, 6), nor to treat otherwise healthy non-pregnant women with asymptomatic bacteriuria.
Use of ibuprofen when there is evidence of UTI: In the pilot trial HWI-01 urine cultures were tested initially and again at day 7 (7). Negative cultures were seen more often in the ciprofloxacin group (23/33, 71.9%) than in the ibuprofen group (16/36, 48.5%) while the symptom relief was achieved in almost all participants. Women who received antibiotic treatment during the follow-up period consulted their GPs up to day 9. Within the follow-up period of four weeks none of the women with asymptomatic bacteriuria consulted their GP again. In the study reported in the BMJ (ICUTI) second urine cultures were not done but the re-consultations were distributed similarly during the follow-up period. We assume that women with bacteriuria did not differ from those with a negative urine culture.
Pyelonephritis is a rare but potentially severe acute condition which can also occur as complication of uncomplicated UTI (8, 9). We agree that the risk of pyelonephritis after non- antibiotic UTI treatment should be monitored carefully, but pyelonephritis is too rare an occurrence to act as primary outcome. The ICUTI trial was not powered to compare the numbers but meta-analyses of current and future European UTI trials are planned.
Symptomatic treatment might be recommended to women who want to avoid antibiotics when this treatment is as safe as antibiotic treatment. Another approach could be to identify women with a high risk to develop pyelonephritis when they initially present. Therefore, we are now conducting a systematic review of UTI- trials to identify factors associated with worsening UTI outcomes including pyelonephritis.

Evidence from the study shows that trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and nitrofurantoin remain first-choice empirical therapy for uncomplicated UTIs and fluoroquinolones should remain a second-line choice for treatment; also guidelines have been developed but their usefulness is little because of conflicting recommendations (1).
In this research, the trial authors concluded that initial treatment with ibuprofen was less effective for symptom relief in women aged 18-65 with mild to moderate symptoms of uncomplicated urinary tract infection, substantially reduced antibiotic use and there were more cases of pyelonephritis as compared with fosfomycin (2).
Fosfomycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which acts by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis with useful activity against uropathogen E. coli (3). Hence the superiority of fosfomycin and other antibacterial drugs in the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infection in women is difficult to ignore.
Which treatment strategy for women with symptoms of urinary tract infection? (4) The report from a prospective cohort study is that women with symptoms of uncomplicated urinary tract infection are often willing to delay antibiotic treatment (5). However, empirical delayed prescription can help to reduce antibiotic use (6).
Is it rational to compare analgesic anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen with antibiotics like fosfomycin, because relief of symptoms and cure of infection are different aspects of treatment.

3D Printing, Innovation
When Will Affordable 3D Printing Become Reality?
March 8, 2018 - Emily Newton
At one point in time, a 3D printing machine cost more than $20,000. But that was in 2010, and just a few short years later — about 2013 — those same machines were a mere $1,000 in price. Today, those prices are much more manageable, with several machines being developed for under $500, making them much more accessible to the average consumer.
That means, yes, you could buy a 3D printer for your home and start creating items to your heart's content. What makes this particularly lucrative is that 3D or additive manufacturing, as it's called, can be used for just about anything.
They can be configured to work with nearly any material you can think of, from wood and masonry to cement and ABS plastic. This is a big deal. It means that affordable 3D printing will eventually become reality and 3D printers will be used to create anything from whole buildings to vehicle parts.
Today's Consumer-Grade Printers
Unfortunately, 3D printing is still in its infancy, at least at a consumer-grade level. This is the main reason why affordable 3D printing isn't a reality quite yet. Printers can cost anywhere from $500 all the way up to $10,000 or more. Furthermore, only a small handful of materials can be used currently, the most common of which are ABS and PLA plastics. As a result, printing is best suited for hobbyists, designers and professionals who can make a living by printing goods and items.
Every day, 3D printing technology gets faster, more accurate and cheaper, which means we're that much closer to owning 3D printers in our homes. But it's the modeling and scanning that's a big deal. In the past, CAD software and design experience were required to create a blueprint or file that could be used to print items with a 3D printer. That's no longer the case, and there are whole communities dedicated to delivering 3D printable designs — Thingiverse is a great example.
Gravity Sketch is another cool service that allows users to create and sketch 3D printable items from a tablet or mobile device. What makes these communities so beneficial is that anyone can scan or create a printable design and then upload the file for others to use. It's like a file-sharing service for 3D printable designs and goods. This change does introduce a host of new ideas and concepts about the rights of a digital or printable file. Once something is created, for example, who has the power to distribute the rights to said file? Is it illegal to make a scan of an item someone else created?
Printing With More Materials
Various types of plastic are the go-to materials for 3D printing currently, especially with cheaper printers and hardware. However, companies like MakerBot are slowly inching toward a future with more advanced material support. They were the first company to introduce home-based 3D printers that can create using imitation wood, metal and stone. While these printers still rely on forms of plastic, the resulting items look and even feel like the real thing.
While it won't be anytime soon that we'll see home-based 3D printers capable of creating with more advanced materials, the day is fast approaching. Of course, that matters little if you and everyone else around you can barely afford the printer.
When Will They Be Affordable?
When it comes to technology, it's difficult to define "affordable" as a strict range, especially when the audience for such a product is broad. You, for instance, may find that $500 is a reasonable price, while someone else may consider $100 to be too expensive.
It's more about the return on investment though, isn't it? Most smartphones cost anywhere from $300 to $600, but nearly everyone owns a smartphone and carries it around on a daily basis. It's about what the phone offers, including a bevy of features from GPS and location tracking to day-to-day scheduling and online content.
Therefore, 3D printers in their most affordable form will be genuinely appealing to the average consumer when it's possible to create just about anything and everything for a relatively low price. That means the supplies — including plastic filament — must be reasonably priced, and there must be a clear opportunity for everyone to participate.
Even so, it's hard to deny the current iterations of 3D printers as elegant and desirable. You can create some pretty amazing things, even with the smallest of printers.

I have been buying "good value" 3D printers from China (Aliexpress) for last ~4years (3-4 in total)…Current price tag is ~150-200$ for good printers with large print volume. (The print quality is mainly dependant on material quality and print speeds)…So my answer to the question? – They have been very affordable for past couple of years.

"For the next few months I continued to visit my father every day, and he taught me more about the Great Perfection. Often times we wouldn't talk at all as we sat together. My father (Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche) would simply sit in front of the large window and gaze off into the sky as I sat quietly by his side and tried to meditate.
I desperately wanted his approval, so I always did my best imitation of what I thought a good meditator should do. I sat bolt upright and tried to make it look like I was absorbed in some deep experience, while in actuality I was just repeating a mantra in my mind and trying not to get lost in thought.
Occasionally, I would open my eyes and peek up at my father, hoping that he had noticed my good meditation posture and ability to sit still for so long.

Q: Find greater row between two dataframes of same shape I have two dataframes of the same shape and am trying to find all the rows in df A where every value is greater than the corresponding row in df B.
Mini-example:
df_A = pd.DataFrame({'one':[20,7,2],'two':[11,9,1]})
df_B = pd.DataFrame({'one':[1,8,12],'two':[10,5,3]})

I'd like to return only row 0.
    one     two
0   20      11

I realise that df_A > df_B gets me most of the way, but I just can't figure out how to return only those rows where everything is True.
(I tried merging the two, but that didn't seem to make it simpler.)

A: IIUIC, you can use all
In [633]: m = (df_A > df_B).all(1)

In [634]: m
Out[634]:
0     True
1    False
2    False
dtype: bool

In [635]: df_A[m]
Out[635]:
   one  two
0   20   11

In [636]: df_B[m]
Out[636]:
   one  two
0    1   10

In [637]: pd.concat([df_A[m], df_B[m]])
Out[637]:
   one  two
0   20   11
0    1   10

Or, if you just need row indices.
In [642]: m.index[m]
Out[642]: Int64Index([0], dtype='int64')

A: import pandas as pd

df_A = pd.DataFrame({"one": [20, 7, 2], "two": [11, 9, 1]})
df_B = pd.DataFrame({"one": [1, 8, 12], "two": [10, 5, 3]})

row_indices = (df_A > df_B).apply(min, axis=1)

print(df_A[row_indices])
print()
print(df_B[row_indices])

Output is:
   one  two
0   20   11

   one  two
0    1   10

Explanation:
df_A > df_B compares element wise, this is the result:
     one    two
0   True   True
1  False   True
2  False  False

Pythons max interprets True > False, so applying min row wise (this is why I used axis=1) only computes True if both values in a row are True:
0     True
1    False
2    False

This is now a boolean index to extract rows from  df_A resp. df_B.

A: df_A.loc[(df_A > df_B).all(axis=1)]

A: It can be done in one line code if you are interested.
df_A[(df_A > df_B)].dropna(axis=0, how='any')

Here df_A[(df_A > df_B)] gives the output after matching true false either the value or na.
    one   two
0  20.0  11.0
1   NaN   9.0
2   NaN   NaN

Then we can drop the na values along the the 0 axis if there is at least anynot a number value.
