Q: Time series modelling( with start & end date) in cassandra I am doing time series data modelling where I have a start date and end date of events. I need to query on that data model like the following:
Select * from tablename where startdate>'2012-08-09' and enddate<'2012-09-09'

I referred to the following link on cql where clause but I couldn't achieve this. Any way to do that? I can also change the data model or any cql tweaks. I am using Cassandra 2.1.

A: I had to solve a similar problem in one of my former positions.  This is one way in which you could accomplish this...

I need to make query on that data model like the following: Select * from tablename where startdate>'2012-08-09' and enddate<'2012-09-09'.

There are two modeling problems preventing this query from working.  First of all, to run a range query, you first need to limit your query with a partition key.  With time series data the best idea is to create something called a time bucket.  For this example I'll partition the data by month, with a partition key called monthbucket.
The other problem, is that you can only run a range query on a single column/key value.  This becomes problematic when you want to query by both a start and end date.  One solution, is to store each row in the table twice, and create an additional clustering key to hold the value of whether the row is the beginning row or the end row.  I'll just call this column beginend.
Given those notes, I'll create a table that looks like this:
CREATE TABLE events (
  monthBucket TEXT,
  eventDate TIMESTAMP,
  beginEnd TEXT,
  eventid UUID,
  eventName TEXT,
  PRIMARY KEY (monthBucket, eventDate, beginEnd, eventid))
WITH CLUSTERING ORDER BY (eventDate DESC, beginEnd ASC, eventid ASC);

*

*With most time series implementations, you tend to care more about the most-recent data.  To that end, I am clustering on eventDate in DESCending order.

*Also, as you could have multiple events starting at the same times, you should also add an additional clustering key to ensure uniqueness (eventid in this case).

After INSERTing some rows, let's just query by a partition key of September, 2015:
aploetz@cqlsh:stackoverflow> SELECT * FROM events WHERE monthbucket='201509';

 monthbucket | eventdate                | beginend | eventid                              | eventname
-------------+--------------------------+----------+--------------------------------------+------------------------
      201509 | 2015-09-25 23:59:59+0000 |        E | a223ad16-2afd-4213-bee3-08a2c4dd63e6 |             Hobbit Day
      201509 | 2015-09-25 00:00:00+0000 |        B | a223ad16-2afd-4213-bee3-08a2c4dd63e6 |             Hobbit Day
      201509 | 2015-09-24 23:59:59+0000 |        E | 9cd6a265-6c60-4537-9ea9-b57e7c152db9 |       Cassandra Summit
      201509 | 2015-09-22 00:00:00+0000 |        B | 9cd6a265-6c60-4537-9ea9-b57e7c152db9 |       Cassandra Summit
      201509 | 2015-09-19 23:59:59+0000 |        E | b9fe9668-cef2-464e-beb4-d4f985ef9c47 | Talk Like a Pirate Day
      201509 | 2015-09-19 00:00:00+0000 |        B | b9fe9668-cef2-464e-beb4-d4f985ef9c47 | Talk Like a Pirate Day

(6 rows)

Similar to your example, let's say that I want to query events between September 18th and September 24th:
aploetz@cqlsh:stackoverflow> SELECT * FROM events WHERE monthbucket='201509' AND eventdate > '2015-09-18' AND eventdate < '2015-09-24';

 monthbucket | eventdate                | beginend | eventid                              | eventname
-------------+--------------------------+----------+--------------------------------------+------------------------
      201509 | 2015-09-22 00:00:00+0000 |        B | 9cd6a265-6c60-4537-9ea9-b57e7c152db9 |       Cassandra Summit
      201509 | 2015-09-19 23:59:59+0000 |        E | b9fe9668-cef2-464e-beb4-d4f985ef9c47 | Talk Like a Pirate Day
      201509 | 2015-09-19 00:00:00+0000 |        B | b9fe9668-cef2-464e-beb4-d4f985ef9c47 | Talk Like a Pirate Day

(3 rows)

As you can see, I should get three rows: A beginning and an end row for "Talk Like A Pirate Day" and a beginning row for the 2015 Cassandra Summit.
As with all data modeling approaches, there are trade-offs to be made.  In this case to model for querying on both dates, the trade-off is that you have to duplicate your rows.  And of course, to be able to range query at all, you have to decide on a good partition key (monthbucket) that offers relevant data and the required query flexibility.  In any case, give it a try and see if you can make it work for your use case.
Edit to answer questions:

*

*
If I want to find all events between 25th Nov,2015 to 25th Nov,2016.
  How that could be possible ?

That's where you'd need to figure out the best time bucket for your application.  Think about your most-common queries, and model off of that.  Now you don't want to store too much in a single row (bucket), because that will kill your data distribution.  So try to find a happy medium between query flexibility and data distribution.
In this particular case with monthBucket you'd have to execute a query for each individual month.  The application that I designed this solution for never looked at an entire years' worth of events at once.  If that's a query pattern you need to support, then you'll need to make your time bucket a little bigger.

*
Is there any way to remove this duplicate row from the result set only?

Nope.  Duplicates would need to be handled/ignored at the application level.  Cassandra CQL does have a DISTINCT keyword, but it only functions on partition keys.

*
Can this type of merging be done at the Cassandra level ?

No, Cassandra does not have a way to JOIN tables together.  And application-side joins are possible, but don't perform well and are technically an anti-pattern.
Handling data on the application-side (whether joining or filtering) is typically not a good idea.  But the key is moderation.  If you query 20 events and have to ignore dupes for some of them, that's not too big of a deal.  But querying 20,000,000 events and applying an application-side process at that volume is not going to scale well at all.  Again, this is where you have to look at the options available, and decide what will work for your application.

How to Stay COVID-Safe on the Ski Slopes This Year
Posted Wednesday, Jan 6, 2021
What ski areas are doing—and you should, too—to minimize virus risk.
BY CHRISTIE ASCHWANDEN Special Thanks to Men's Health
ADIE BUSHGETTY IMAGES
The day after Thanksgiving, Dr. Jana Eller and Dr. Shiraz Naqvi were seated beside an outdoor fire pit at the base of Telluride Ski Resort, taking a short break from skiing. The two physicians from Houston had driven more than 18 hours to get here for the holiday weekend, and they were staying (and preparing meals) in a rented home. They traveled with another couple and their kids, colleagues they've been "bubbling" with in Houston.
"We got a COVID test prior to leaving and will get another when we return," Naqvi said.
The skiing itself doesn't feel much different during the pandemic, Eller said, but, "the après ski scene is just gone."
In March, at the beginning of the pandemic, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis issued an executive order requiring the state's ski resorts to close in response to COVID-19, which had hit the state's ski towns early and hard. Now, as the resorts enter their busy season, the state has taken pains to avoid blanket closures even though cases of COVID-19 are reaching their highest levels yet.
What to expect when you ski this year
Resorts that are able to stay open will look different this year, of course. Mandatory face coverings have become the norm, but other COVID mitigation efforts vary by site. Vermont resorts ask skiers to certify their compliance with rules governing interstate travel during the pandemic when buying a lift ticket, and in California, a regional stay-at-home order has essentially closed ski resorts in the Lake Tahoe region to non-residents. In Colorado's Pitkin County (home to Aspen), visitors will be required to confirm they've had a negative COVID test result within 72 hours of travel or pledge to quarantine for 14 days after arrival or until they obtain a negative test result.
The internationally renowned ski destination of Telluride is one of the many places trying to operate safely while protecting the 8,000 or so permanent residents in the area. On Nov. 25, with its COVID case numbers skyrocketing and its positivity rate hitting 4.6%, San Miguel County, which includes Telluride, closed its bars and restricted its restaurants to takeout and outdoor dining only. Signs posted throughout the resort remind visitors of the "five commitments of containment" — wear a mask, maintain 6 feet of physical distance, minimize group size, wash hands frequently and, when you feel sick, stay home and get tested.
How bad would things have to get to close the resort? That's hard to gauge, said Grace Franklin, public health director for the county. People are going to do what they will regardless, she said.
"If we shut down the ski resort, how many people will take to the backcountry and get injured or trigger avalanches where the impact is greater? It's a 'damned if you do, damned if you don't situation," Franklin said.
So they're trying to figure this out: "How do we create safer, engineered events so people have an outlet, but we minimize as much risk as possible?"
How risky is skiing this year?
Skiing itself poses relatively little risk, said Kate Langwig, PhD, an epidemiologist at Virginia Tech. "You're outside with a lot of airflow, you've got something strapped to your feet so you're not in super close contact with other people, and most of the time you're riding the lift with people in your group."
Gathering in the lodge or bar is by far the biggest COVID risk associated with skiing, said Langwig, who grew up skiing in northern New York. "In my family, one of the things you do after a day of skiing is connect with friends and have a beer in the lodge," and it's this social aspect of skiing that's too risky right now, she said.
In an effort to discourage tourists and residents from congregating, local governments, medical facilities and the ski resort released a co-signed letter in November urging people to cancel any plans to gather with those outside their immediate household and celebrate the holidays solely with people from their own household. Keeping the resort open will require everybody to do their part, said Lindsey Mills, COVID public information consultant for San Miguel County.
"We are not telling anybody not to come, at least not yet," said Todd Brown, Telluride's mayor pro tem. But local officials are broadcasting a strong message to everyone in the area — "Chill out. Don't have the big party with five families."
That's important not only for your own health; this year, you also need to think about the impact your skiing will have on the community, and whether it could overtax the medical facilities. San Miguel County has an urgent care center but no hospital, and its medical center experienced a 22% staffing shortage at the end of November, mostly because so many employees are in quarantine. Hospitals in nearby Mesa County reached their ICU capacity last month, and other hospitals in the region are also pinched. "We can't have a situation where people break their legs on the slopes and we can't get them care," said Franklin.
The resort has taken steps to facilitate physical distancing among visitors. Reservations aren't required at Telluride, but lift tickets must be purchased in advance, and the resort can restrict ticket sales if necessary, said Jeff Proteau, vice president of operations and planning at the Telluride Ski Resort. Gondolas are operating with the windows open and each load is restricted to members of the same household.
What will happen at the lifts
To reduce contact in and around the lifts, workers have created "ghost lines" of empty space to ensure a 6-foot distance between groups while they wait in lift lines. People from the same household can stand in line together and ride the two- to four-person lifts next to one another, Proteau said, but when riding a lift with someone from another household, guests are asked to leave a vacant seat between them.
Langwig was a children's ski instructor for many years and worries about ski school. "You interact pretty closely with the kids," she said, noting that runny noses are common. "You spend a lot of time getting kids bundled up and to and from the bathroom." This could be especially challenging if indoor spaces are closed, she said. "Hot chocolate breaks are one of the ways you get kids through the day, and that's not safe anymore."
In anticipation of visitors needing to take breaks to warm up, the resort has installed six temporary structures around the mountain with insulated ceilings and heated panels. When the sides are rolled up, they're considered outdoor spaces, Proteau said, but they can be closed into confined spaces with limited occupancy as needed, especially on a blustery day.
The risk for most employees on the mountain should be relatively minimal, Langwig said, at least at work. "Lift attendants are outside wearing thick gloves and a mask most of the time. Compared to someone who works in a restaurant, their risk is pretty low."
Employees are generally assigned to work in small groups that can be quarantined, if necessary, without wiping out a whole department, Proteau said. There's also contact tracing in place for resort employees.
Arizona native Joey Rague moved to Telluride last year and works as a ski valet on the mountain. He said there's a huge incentive among employees to keep the resort open. With affordable housing sparse in Telluride, "all of us are struggling seasonally to be able to pay rent."
So far, he said, most visitors have been respectful and conscientious of the rules.
"It seems as though people understand that if we want to stay open, we have to come together," he said.

Telluride Tacos and beer

New brewpub and taqueria in Mountain Village

When I was 20 years old, I fell head over heels in love. It was the kind of love that hit me with all the force of divine revelation, an unshakable certainty that this was a love that would stand the test of time. The only thing was, the object of my affections was not, in fact, human, or even a single entity. Truth was, I had fallen irrevocably in love with Mexican street tacos.
Indeed, this is a love that has endured to the present day, and though I no longer inhabit the homeland of my beloved tacos, our long-distance relationship may soon come to a blessed end. Telluride Brewing Company Brewpub and Taqueria will open its doors Wednesday in the Mountain Village center, offering a rotating selection of unique craft beers and a mouth-watering menu of authentic Mexican-style street tacos crafted by Chef Alex Castagneto.
"Alex was making these incredible tacos up in Denver and I never forgot it," said Jared Schwartz, co-creator of The Goods Hospitality and Los Buenos Tacos, who partnered with Telluride Brewing Company for the brewpub.
The tacos, Schwartz said, feature fresh in-house tortillas made from blue corn sourced from Bow & Arrow of the Ute Mountain Ute tribe, along with locally-sourced meats, proteins and produce. Al pastor pork will be roasted in traditional style on a rotisserie and served with the requisite pineapple slivers for that pop of sweet with the savory. Cochinitas, a slow-roasted marinated pork traditionally wrapped in banana leaves and roasted for days in the ground, will be on offer alongside barbacoa, locally sourced buffalo tongue lengua and Baja-style fish tacos.
Vegetarians have options too: char-grilled mushrooms with herbs and calabacitas with stewed black beans offer non-meat proteins for the herbivores.
"Los Buenos Tacos boys — their tacos are mind blowing," said Chris Fish, co-founder and brewmaster of Telluride Brewing Company (TBC). "It's very exciting to pair our beers up with these tacos. We're really excited about this partnership."
While the brewery had been thinking about opening up a second location for years, it wasn't until about a year and a half ago that the idea to bring a brewpub to Mountain Village began to crystallize with assistance from the Town of Mountain Village Owners Association.
"The Lawson Hill location is a little difficult if you don't have a car or it's not summer so you can't bike," said Tommy Thacher, TBC's co-owner and president, explaining that the team had considered locations as far away as Montrose. "This location allows us to stay at home and grow our footprint in our own community, which is what it's all about, and it allows us to reach a bigger audience."
The brewpub also boasts an on-site brewing facility, with Fish concocting a variety of new styles and experimental small batch brews. An aficionado of Belgian-style beers, Fish is looking forward to embracing his love of traditional beers by brewing up old-world styles like tripels, saisons, farmhouse ales and Christmas beers.
"It's a total fun zone," said Fish of the new brewing space. "We'll be using it for recipe development, pushing boundaries and diving into lots of traditional styles. We'll be able to do a lot of stuff we couldn't do on a large production scale down at Lawson."
Of course, due to COVID-19 restrictions, the new brewpub will be open for take-out only for now. Fortunately, street tacos lend themselves well to eating outside or on the go, traditionally gobbled down by a roadside stand fresh off a piping-hot comal. Mountain Village's plazas are "common consumption" areas as well, so patrons can also purchase take-away pints, crowlers and six-packs.
"Street tacos are meant to be eaten on the go," said Swartz, noting that the brewpub is offering a "baker's dozen" special, with an extra taco thrown in for free upon ordering a dozen. They'll also be offering taco supplies to go, so DIY taco lovers can get their fix at home.
Between the food and the beer, "it's an all-star team up here, super passionate about using the best ingredients," said Thacher. "It's a unique and fun partnership."
JetBlue Welcomes Winter with First Flights Arriving in Telluride
Posted Saturday, Jan 2, 2021
On Dec. 19, JetBlue announced its new winter seasonal service to Telluride, Colo. has begun with Flight #2325 from Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) and Flight #2540 from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) arriving at southwest Colorado's Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ) at approximately 2 o'clock this afternoon.
"JetBlue's new seasonal service in Telluride – via Montrose Regional Airport – is the latest example of JetBlue adapting its route map to better serve customers in this new travel environment," said Andrea Lusso, vice president network planning, JetBlue. "At the same time, the new routes not only help us diversify our network, but also introduce another unique destination to our customer bases in our East and West Coast focus cities."
JetBlue is the only airline to offer nonstop service between Montrose and New England, and offers a new choice for ski-bound travelers in Southern California. Supplemental nonstop service from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) is scheduled on peak travel days around the President's Day holiday.
Telluride – one of the premier ski destinations in the West – is just 90 minutes south of Montrose. Nestled within Southwest Colorado's dramatic San Juan Mountains, Telluride is known for its world-class alpine skiing, awe-inspiring scenery and vibrant summer festival season. Telluride has been ranked the #1 Ski Resort in North America by Condé Nast five of the last six years.
Colorful Victorian-era homes, clapboard store fronts, boutiques, art galleries, gourmet restaurants, and historic buildings are set against a backdrop of 13,000-foot peaks, and complemented by the modern Mountain Village, a short, free gondola ride away. Skiers can glide straight into town and Mountain Village, with the majority of lodging within walking distance or a short shuttle (or gondola) ride to the renowned slopes of Telluride – a true ski-in/ski-out destination.

A sneak peak at The Cabins at Mountain Village in Telluride
Posted Monday, Dec 28, 2020
Anyone who's had the chance to visit Mountain Village's Heritage Plaza this week may have noticed we're in the process of redecorating our plazas with the recent installation of 20 red, blue and yellow refurbished gondola dining cabins through the Mountain Village Center.
When all is said and done, we will have 25 gondola dining cabins and several dining pavilions installed throughout the Mountain Village Center to help the public gather safely in these cabins with their families/households. We will share a full announcement when the installation is complete and all cabins are ready for the public to enjoy.
In the meantime, as these are installed in phases, we would like to take the opportunity to share some helpful tips for enjoying The Cabins at Mountain Village in a safe manner amidst increased COVID-19 concerns.
First Come, First Served: These unique dining cabins will be open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis to safely enjoy food or drink from one of our restaurants.

Masks Off, It's Time to Eat in Telluride, CO
Posted Wednesday, Dec 9, 2020
From outdoor cabins to take-out food, dining looks different this winter
Special Thanks to Elizabeth Guest. Telluride Daily Planet
Local restaurants rallied this summer with outdoor tables and curbside pickup to accommodate COVID-19 restrictions, but as daylight dwindled and snow accumulated, picnics became a less viable dining option. While take-out options are better than ever, winter dining during a pandemic demands new, creative approaches.
The Cabins at Mountain Village, debuting this season, are a collection of gondola cabins and tented dining pavilions scattered throughout the plazas. Twenty refurbished gondola cars—similar to the ones used on the ski resort—are equipped with tables, benches, lighting, heat, and ventilation. Eight are located around the fire pit in the center of the village core, four by the base of Life 4 and Tomboy Tavern, and four more by the top of Lift 1 and La Piazza.
The cabins operate as dining rooms for take-out food and libations from any Mountain Village restaurant or bar. They fit up to eight people and afford families more flexibility in food choices—kids can order pizza or cheeseburgers from one restaurant, while parents can get something more upscale from somewhere else, and still eat together.
Kathrine Warren is the public information officer for Mountain Village; the town, its business development committee, and the local homeowners association collaborated on the project. "The gondola is a treasured Mountain Village asset, so we might as well play on that idea, as well as support local restaurants," says Warren.
The Cabins at Mountain Village also include outdoor dining pavilions for patrons of La Piazza, Trax Café, Poacher's Pub, and The Coffee Company. These tented structures seat eight and provide comfort and shelter from the outdoor elements. They're adaptable, with flaps that roll up and down depending on the weather. An oversized dining pavilion for larger parties is also available outside the Telluride Conference Center.
There are no reservations for the Cabins at Mountain Village, which operate on a first-come, first-serve basis with expectations of respectful patronage: Don't take too long of a gondola "ride," and let cabins air out before climbing aboard. Menus are available at www.townofmountainvillage/dining. Also, since drinking alcohol is allowed outdoors in Mountain Village, folks can disembark their gondola and enjoy the last sips of a hot toddy on a starlit stroll through the plaza.
Downtown Telluride restaurants are also finding food service solutions. Expecting a busy winter, The National has re-designed the interior space to accommodate socially distanced dining as well as plexiglass partitioning at the bar. "People are still wanting to go out," says Ross Martin, The National's co-executive chef with Erich Owen. "Dining in-house this winter will be a coveted thing for Telluride; reservations are going fast."
No available tables? No problem—90 percent of The National menu is available online for contact-less, curbside pick-up. For groups of four and more, they recommend you order 48 hours in advance for a restaurant-caliber meal in the comfort of your own abode.
The National also has a new offshoot restaurant called Littlehouse, a few blocks away, at 219 West Pacific Street. The farm-fresh gourmet delicatessen is open 11 a.m-9 p.m. for lunch and dinner. Like The National, the food features high-end quality ingredients and craftsmanship, but with more family-friendly offerings in a more casual setting. The atmosphere is lively yet comfortable with lots of natural light, clean contemporary finishes and rustic mountain feel. A large open garage door in front features floor-to-ceiling lighting, opening on sunny days for a cool indoor-meets-outdoor space, the perfect place to lunch on a sunny ski day, and a close walk from the gondola and Lift 8. There's a full bar, beer, and wine with pre-order family-style meals also available. Littlehouse caters to little people with items like grilled cheese and parmesan pasta, but also includes more sophisticated samplings: Thai noodle salad, ahi tuna poke, Tuscan five bean kale salad, crab cakes from the case, plus six different sandwiches, vegan lasagna, beef Bourguignon, Brussel sprouts, and soups and salad paired with cocktails like a Mezcal Old Fashioned or a simple glass of Sauvignon blanc. "We felt that town was in need of this," says Chef Martin. "A kind of California-European Delicatessen."
There's another new restaurant in town opening during the pandemic: Lunch Money, located in the breezeway of the Heritage building at 126 West Colorado Avenue. Focused on foodies, Lunch Money is for mid-day munchies and also seasonal take-home meals five days a week, so you don't have to cook dinner. The menu changes frequently to highlight fresh ingredients and healthy fare: salads, noodle bowls, sushi, soups, wraps, snacks, sweet treats, and cold-pressed juices, with ample vegetarian and vegan options. And no green guilt—Lunch Money uses environmentally-friendly to-go containers.
If there is one good thing that has come out of the pandemic, it's that most restaurants, even the fine dining ones, have upped their take-out game and there is also a good variety of grab-and-go food available. The Butcher & The Baker has a deli case full of to-go sides and dishes, and offers chicken dinners to bring home, and you can order meals online to pick up at Cosmopolitan Restaurant and Siam. Virtually everything you can find in a restaurant is now available to eat at home; the new Telluride dining world is, as they say, your oyster.
An expert's suggestions on dining out safely in Telluride, Colorado
Posted Monday, Dec 7, 2020
'Remember the three V's'

Bars and restaurants face a challenge as the state's Safer at Home dashboard flashes increasingly urgent shades of Yellow, Orange and Red, for COVID-19 transmission risks in each county.
The challenge boils down to five words:
How to stay in business? At least Coloradans can still dine out. On Friday, the Bay Area enacted stay-at-home restrictions, per orders of California Governor Gavin Newsom.
To inspire people to keep dropping by, at least one Western Slope brewery has implemented a new program. If you had to assign it a color, you might make it White: It's the Polar Bear Outdoor Drinking Club.
"We'd been wracking our brains for the past two months on what to do as the weather turns colder," said Brian Fischer, the founding partner of Monumental Beer Works, Polar's progenitor, in the Grand Valley. "We've got two patios. We'd love to have people come and drink here outside. We've considered putting up yurts, greenhouses, or fishing tents. We thought about wrapping our pergolas."
"All of those were too expensive," said Fischer, "and the pergola wasn't safe because of (the risk of collapsing due to) snow loads. It wasn't worth it to spend $15,000 to wrap the pergola for two to three months."
So Fischer decided to embrace the great wide-open.
"I thought, wait a minute. I don't get it. I grew up in Summit County, and to this day I'm an avid skier," he said. "When we're done with skiing for the day, we sit outside and have a beer. I guarantee you at Telluride they're also outside. We just have to give people an incentive to drink outside."
And that inspired the Polar Bear Drinking Club punchcard: every time you have a drink outdoors in 45-degree (or below) weather, the card gets punched. After 10 punches, you get a free beer.
No Polar Bear affiliates exist in the San Juans, but there are plenty of places to enjoy a bite and a beverage even though you're not inside a Telluride restaurant. The same goes for Mountain Village, as well.
"Basically, outdoor dining is everywhere," said Zoe Dohnal, Business Development and Sustainability Director for the Town of Mountain Village. What's more, regional restaurants are rushing to keep patrons more comfortable while they eat and drink outside. "You can stay socially distanced here," Fischer said, "and we have space heaters."
"We had a heating grant, and a lot of restaurants" have installed equipment "for just this purpose," Dohnal said: to keep guests cozy and still outdoors."
Those restaurants are on the right track, said Larissa Pisney M.D., the medical director for Infection Control at UCHealth. "I commend them for doing whatever they can to make it safe for patrons."
This said, in a pandemic, even outdoor dining carries risks.
"The way I've best heard it expressed is, remember the three V's," Dr. Pisney said. "Venue, ventilation, and vocalization. There's a higher risk when people gather indoors. Another piece of it is ventilation: hospitals have more efficient ventilation systems, for example, than commercial buildings do, or people's homes. The other part is vocalization: to eat or drink, you have to take your mask off."
The safest way to dine out right now is to really dine out — in the outdoors — Pisney summed up, with members of your family. But she added, "I think everything right now comes down to taking your own individual risk into account. I have a younger brother, who's in his 30s. He's a rugby player. He and his wife have certainly eaten outside. For myself, I have a nanny share with another medical family, and I see patients all the time for my work. I fell pretty responsible to those other people. For higher-risk people, it may be better not to sit down at all. If you're outside, socially distanced, wearing your mask, with just your group and lots of hand washing before and after you eat or drink, that's as safe as you can make it."
"In my household, we're supporting restaurants by ordering lots of takeout," she added. "It's an excuse not to cook."

Noël Coward's "Improbable Farce"
"I will ever be grateful for the almost psychic gift that enabled me to write Blithe Spirit in five days during one of the darkest years of the war," wrote Noël Coward. He wrote the play in 1941 at the height of the Second World War, but set it in 1937, before the British knew that their lives were about to change.
Coward wanted to be a spy and worked in Paris at the start of the War but Churchill said he could make a better contribution to the war effort in the theatre. So he went on tour. When his home in London was bombed during the Blitz, he stayed on.
On a holiday in Wales with a writer, he reimagined an idea for a play about ghosts he had been developing in Paris and sat down to write Blithe Spirit.
He is quoted as saying that he knew it was a good play and that it would be a success. He was right. Blithe Spirit ran for 1,997 performances in London and 657 on Broadway, was made into a movie, and has been remounted on stage every generation since 1941. It opens in Cobourg at the Firehall Theatre on September 20.
Blithe Spirit is "an improbable farce" in Coward's own words, an improbable choice for wartime when death was around every day in London, but he explained that death and the meaning of death is better explored through laughter. Anyway, he said, none of the characters were likeable so we would not be very upset.
You could also say that the play is about how past relationships affect current ones, and how random people can have such an impact on our lives.
Noël Coward was renowned for his wit and flamboyant lifestyle, and for his social and financial success in a social class which he was not born into.
He set his plays in the drawing rooms of the wealthy and he satirized their lives for his comedy. When we meet the Condomines, they are having martinis with friends and planning to exploit Madame Arcati for some amusement and research for a book. If you find yourself becoming a bit uncomfortable at their language and behaviour, be sure that Coward intended you to be critical, but he will soon have you laughing with the witty dialogue and plot twists that romp to the conclusion.

Ashford police chief's beard causes controversy...or does it?
By Zach Wilcox |
Posted: Mon 10:49 PM, Jun 17, 2019 |
Updated: Mon 10:51 PM, Jun 17, 2019
ASHFORD, Ala. (WTVY) - It was a packed house at the Ashford City Council meeting Monday night as many town members came out to support the police chief.
Only, as it turns out, he wasn't in any kind of trouble.
Anyone from Ashford knows Chief Quinton Vann sports a beard.
Well, there was a rumor going around town a city councilman had a problem with that and was going to take action, but as Councilman Gary Gibson explained, that was a misunderstanding.
"I've never been after his job, and I do not want Tim Miller to be the police chief of Ashford, so I wanted to lay all that to rest tonight [Monday]," said Gibson.
Councilman Gary Gibson went to Ashford City Hall for a copy of the police handbook.
When there wasn't one available, he went to the police station.
Somewhere along the way, a rumor got out Gibson was after the police chief's beard and even his job.
So people took to Facebook, asking everyone to come out and support the police chief at the city council meeting.
"I can tell you guys I support our police chief 110%," said Gibson. "I'm not after his beard. If you can see me right now, you see I have a beard, so why would I be after somebody else's beard? It was simply a misunderstanding."
In fact, Gibson explained in the meeting the Ashford police handbook does not have any reference to a dress code.
Once all the confusion was cleared up, he explained why he wanted a copy of the handbook to begin with.
"I have a few questions about our vehicle policy, also about our bullet-proof protective vests," said Gibson. "I want to make sure all our police officers are safe when they're out there doing their duty."
WTVY reached out to Chief Vann for a comment, but he said he wanted to wait until this is all over to say anything.

New draft code commands telcos to speak plain English
The Australian Communications Industry Forum (ACIF) has created a draft code forcing telecommunication companies to clarify their contracts after research showed that Australian consumers have a hard time understanding their phone contracts.Recent consumer research by the Australian Communications Authority (ACA) showed that customers had experienced difficulties with both fixed and mobile phone contracts.
By Kristyn Maslog-Levis | November 2, 2004 -- 01:12 GMT (17:12 PST) | Topic: Mobility
The Australian Communications Industry Forum (ACIF) has created a draft code forcing telecommunication companies to clarify their contracts after research showed that Australian consumers have a hard time understanding their phone contracts.
Recent consumer research by the Australian Communications Authority (ACA) showed that customers had experienced difficulties with both fixed and mobile phone contracts.
"Small businesses and households found contracts to be too long and difficult to understand," ACA acting chairman Allan Horsley.
The research respondents complained that it was unfair that providers were able to alter the terms and conditions of the contracts after sign-up. They also raised the unexpected charges hidden in the fine print, such as high cancellation fees.
The ACA asked the ACIF to develop a contracts code that requires contracts to be fair and "provide guidance about fair and unfair contract terms".
The ACIF draft code on consumer contract states that with the exception of Victorian legislation, federal and state laws "do not identify or provide guidance on contract terms which may be unfair, nor provide guidance on the structure and format of contracts to ensure consumers can easily read and understand important contract terms".
The ACA surveyed more than 1,000 small businesses and residential households in the first half of 2004vabout their information needs and expectations as consumers of telecommunications products and services.
"The survey also found that consumers were concerned about being locked into a lengthy contract, which meant they were unable to take advantage of better offers," Horsley said.
Horsley said the research has reinforced the ACA's initial view on the inadequacies of many phone contracts.
The draft code "builds on the European Communities' Directive and the UK Regulation as well as the Victorian legislation" by providing industry specific examples and specific rules identifying contract terms which are unfair and how contracts should be set out to ensure legibility and comprehension of the terms.
The objective of the ACIF draft code is "to redress the consumer detriment arising from the imbalance in bargaining power as between service providers and residential and small business customers".
The code rules also cover mass market contracts used by residential and small business consumers.
"This Code seeks to ensure that the terms of contracts between suppliers and residential and small business consumers are fair and are presented by suppliers in a form that is readily accessible, legible and capable of being readily understood by consumers."
The draft code applies to carriage service providers, including Internet service providers (ISPs) and covers contracts for supply of telecommunications services, including fixed and mobile telephone calls and Internet services to residential and small business customers.
Also included in the code are minimum requirements for the format and structure of contracts, as well as rules to promote the use of plain language.
Complaints will be sent to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO) where the investigative staff will consider whether a code rule has been breached.
"The TIO will address every complaint irrespective of whether an industry participant is a signatory to the Code. The TIO records all potential and confirmed breaches, which are, in turn, reported to the ACA."
The ACIF is expecting industry participants to "incur substantial initial and ongoing costs" in relation to compliance with the code.
In order to comply with the code, existing suppliers need to review the terms of their existing contracts and all related documentation and modify them. In order to implement the modified contract terms, suppliers will also need to modify their processes and systems, as well as policies and operating practices and associated procedures, including staff education and training.
"Implementation of the Code will have a significant impact on some of the existing operating practices and procedures which will add major costs to industry."
Consumer contracts were among the topics raised by organisations present during the recently conducted ACIF forum on telco bill shock.

Q: Use Quad SPI as 2 Dual SPI I'm trying to incorporate 2 16-bit ADCs into my DAS design, which will interface with an MCU which only has 1 available QSPI. The ADCs have a 16-bit parallel output, but the MCU only has a single 8-bit parallel interface, so I'm forced to use the serial interface capability of the ADCs. To realise the full throughput of the ADC (1Msps), a dual data line SPI needs to be used, as a standard single data line SPI only supports reduced throughput.
As such, I'm wondering whether I can share the QSPI clock between both ADCs, then connect 2 of the QSPI data lines to ADC1 and the other 2 data lines to ADC2, then perform the data rearranging once received by the MCU. Writing to the ADC registers could be achieved in much the same way.
Does this sound feasible at all? Obviously layout and length/capacitance matching between the shared clock and data lines would be quite important, but I wanted to understand whether this idea has any legitimacy whatsoever before continuing down this path any further.
The ADCs I'm looking to use are the AD7616 and the MCU is the ATSAME70Q21.

Mumbai: Maharashtra government today decided to increase the retirement age for government doctors under the medical and health services group 'A' category in the state to 60, from 58.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the state Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis here.
The decision will be implemented with retrospective effect from May 31, an official said after the Cabinet meeting.
Government doctors holding post graduate diplomas and degrees will be given special increments to ensure availability of sufficient human resources to provide health services.
The Cabinet also approved a proposal to amend the lacunae in the Transplantation of Human Organs Act (1994), and increase quantum of punishment for crimes pertaining to human organ transplants.
The Cabinet also approved a draft of the Maharashtra Acupuncture Treatment Act-2015. This will help in better coordination of acupuncture treatment.
At the meeting, it was decided to shortlist three backward cooperative ginning mills for financial assistance under the 12th Five Year Plan.

QuickCheck vs. GOOS

Testing for better software

								Chris Keathley

								@ChrisKeathley

What I was listening to

						Cuz Music

What we're going to talk about

TDD/BDD (GOOS)

QuickCheck

Where we can use property testing

						This be da business

Caveat - I have no idea what I'm doing

						Ask people if and how they test their code

Goos

							Growing Object-Oriented Software Guided by Tests

Emphasizes

Tests first

Tests for design as well as regression

Testing outside in based on behaviour (BDD)

Mock Objects

End to End (not Edge to Edge)

Example

Lets build an music player

Post a song id to an endpoint to add it to the queue

Broadcast this change to all connected clients

Tests

describe "POST #queue" do
  it "should add the track to the queue and alert clients of change" do
    id = 1337
    track = instance_double("Track", :id => id)

    expect(Track).to receive(:find).with(id).and_return(track)
    expect(Queue).to receive(:add_track).with(track).and_return 1
    expect(Broadcast).to receive(:broadcast)

    post '/queue', :id => id
  end
end

Api

class App < Sinatra::Base
  post "/queue" do
    @track = Track.find(params[:id])
    Queue.add_track(@track)
    Broadcast.send('/songs', @track)
  end
end

But what about errors

describe "POST #queue" do
  it "should add the track to the queue and alert clients of change" do
    id = 1337
    track = instance_double("Track", :id => id)

    expect(Track).to receive(:find).with(id).and_return(track)
    expect(Queue).to receive(:add_track).with(track).and_return 1
    expect(Broadcast).to receive(:broadcast)

    post '/queue', :id => id
  end
end

class App < Sinatra::Base
  post "/queue" do
    @track = Track.find(params[:id])
    Queue.add_track(@track)
    Broadcast.send('/songs', @track)
  end
end

Yay tests!

Tests only cover the conditions that you set (duh)

You have to be explicit in your error conditions

Find errors in staging (or production) and add tests

(Still better then no tests)

Yay tests!

Tests only cover the conditions that you set (duh)

You have to be explicit in your error conditions

Enter QuickCheck

QuickCheck

Developed in 1999/2000

Written in Haskel

Widely adopted in hipster FP circles (clojure, scala, erlang)

Libraries in most languages (Crockford wrote it for JS)

QuickCheck I can't even

Testing is based on defined properties

Data is generated in defined ways

Errors are found dynamically

Shrinkers find smallest error condition

Properties

A way of saying what this thing should do

Generators

Generate fake data for testing

Shrinkers

Help narrow down failing cases

So what did we learn here

Property testing requires thinking differently about the problem

Property testing is slow

Emphasizes Hammocking

Not useful for every problem

Thanks

Report: China is now the global leader in video game revenues
Heads up, game devs: China's booming games market has now overtaken the U.S. (at least, in market research firm Newzoo's estimation) to become the world's biggest source of video game revenue.
That's according to Newzoo's latest Global Games Report, and it's a notable (if long-predicted) shift for game developers who have come to appreciate China's massive playerbase and capacity to drive game installs.
According to Newzoo's report, which is based on data gathered from a variety of sources (including public company earnings reports and third-party research), China is now generating $24.4 billion in video game revenues, compared to the U.S.'s $23.6 billion.
Though it's unclear in the report itself, Newzoo tells Gamasutra that those figures are estimates for full-year 2016, from January through December.
It's also worth pointing out that according to Newzoo, China's lead over the U.S. in terms of online population vastly outstrips its lead in terms of revenue, suggesting the country may still have lots of room to grow as more people play (and pay for) video games.
To examine these and other findings from Newzoo for yourself, you can peruse the free version of the company's latest Global Games Report.

The First One Hundred Years
On another page, we give the history of the building of the Church, which was completed in 1855.
Of course, that is only half the story, so now we would like to give you a (short) history of the early life of the Church since it was built; which largely means mentioning all those people who devoted so much of their time and energy to help keep the Church active and alive over the first 100 years!
After the Church was built, the history of the Church is mainly based on the 'official records' which have survived. These include notes of Vestry (church council) meetings, as well as the Parish Register – we have the original folio which goes all the way back to the 1850s!
Recognisable family names in the early pages of the parish register include Richard Conrad Dinzey, baptised in May 1855, and Eleanor Lucretia Romney, baptised in February 1856.
The first 'founding members' of the Church included Sir Richard Dinzey, William B Hodge, Charles Beal, WA Haddocks and Bror August Ridderhjerta. These families continued to be involved in the Church for the next 100 years and their names are also to be found in the Anglican section of the cemetery in Saint Jean, across from the Airport.
During the period 1855 to 1884, there was no permanent priest on the island, so for the most part the services were conducted by lay persons – in particular Richard Burton Dinzey.
The Dinzey family played a major role in the Church at that time and for the succeeding decades. On the Vestry council, Richard Burton Dinzey succeeded Sir Richard Dinzey and became the warden of the Church in 1860 until his death in 1918 at the age of 87 – a reign almost as long as Queen Victoria!
Joseph Dinzey was also initially involved, but left for England to enrol in a seminary, only to return to the Caribbean later as curate in a neighbouring parish on St Kitts.
The first priest to the Anglican community on St Barth was the Revd Thomas Allman Rock, who stopped at St Barth in 1845 on his way to his new post as rector in Anguilla. He became the first of the visiting clergy for St Bartholomew's. After Father Rock, who sadly died before the Church in Gustavia was completed, there followed many visiting priests from the neighbouring British islands, including Archdeacon Hugh Willoughby Jermyn, the Revd Henry Warneford and the Revd Charles Culpepper
Prior to modern times, it was only for the period between 1884 to 1904 that the Church had resident clergy: the Revd Henry Ernest Olton, the Revd Jas Rogers, the Revd Henderson Bell and the Revd Anderson Edwards. One of the main reasons for the discontinuation of a resident priest was that the French Government stopped paying a stipend to the Church, which had been agreed when the island was handed over by Sweden to France.
The Church's finances at that time were not in good order! Prior to 1904 the Church records show that it relied heavily on loans/gifts from the resident clergy and thereafter from the Dinzey family - to cover such items as repairs to the shingle roof, as well as paying for accommodation for the visiting clergy.
After 1904, the Church again relied on its lay readership – notably Richard Burton Dinzey, and the priest would only make visits from Anguilla once or twice annually or when summoned for a marriage or funeral. These include: Archdeacon Harry Emanuel Blomfield, the Revd Richard Canning, the Revd James Clement, the Revd N. Davies, the Revd Louis Spinks and the Revd Anthony Turner.
Although, as can be imagined, this was not always an easy task. For instance, when Charles Dinzey lay dying, the anchorage in Anguilla was inaccessible due to bad weather, so a boat was sent instead to St Kitts to summon an Anglican Priest. He arrived just after Charles Dinzey had died, but in time for the funeral the next day.
Between 1923 and 1924 there were no clergy visits due to the influenza quarantine on Anguilla; but in 1925 a visiting priest noted that his boat made a 'record passage' from Anguilla to St Barth – completing the voyage in 'just 10 hours.'
Between the wars, the parish continued with small numbers, relying heavily on two Dinzey spinster sisters, Robertina and Juila.
Miss Robertina Dinzey was a frequent lay reader for the twenty years from 1914 to 1934. And Miss Julia Dinzey also was important member of the St Bartholomew's during a large part of the twentieth century, until her death in 1959, at the age of 89.
During the Second World War, the Vichy Government controlled St Barth and clergy from the British Islands were unable to visit.
Post the Second World War, the lay readership continued to lead the services, and notable helpers mentioned in the letters and notes of the visiting priests were Reggie Assent, Ida & Olive Hughes and May & Alice Romney.
Then came the jet planes and the advent of early tourism to the island, but that is a whole new chapter for another time.
This history is largely due to the work of Porter Henry and Lena Jonsson, with help from Bishop Ted Eastman and Clarion Romney
N.B. The list of names mentioned does not purport to be complete. If you know of anyone who should be included please let us know.

Q: How to get value without using key from NSDictionary with the help of index? {
 id:1
 Vendors:
        {
          47:
             {
               items:{
                     }
               price:
                    {
                     this value I want
                    }
             }
          55:
            {
            }

*

*in above code I wouldn't know which vendor id it is at what index. So I cannot use valueForKey. Can I get price array for both ids like:
arrayPrice:{
             {
              value1
             }
             {
               value2
             }
           }
or is there any way to get key at index. So that I can use valueForKey:@"47"

A: You can use the property of NSDictionary allValues but you can't maintain the sequence because NSDictionary index according to keys. You have to use NSArray if order matters for you.
