Muskmelons do not exhibit significant external evidence of ripening because of their hard and thick rinds, increasing the likelihood of purchasing an unripe fruit. In this study, the non-destructive estimation of fruit ripening quality of intact "Honey One" and "Earl's Talent" muskmelon cultivars was examined. We analyzed the correlation between the major characteristics used for assessing ripening quality (firmness, total soluble solids (TSS), and titratable acidity) and stalk moisture and specific gravity. Moreover, partial least square (PLS) regression analysis was performed for the visible/near-infrared (Vis/NIR) spectroscopy data and reference samples. The correlation coefficients (r) between stalk moisture and flesh firmness were 0.88 and 0.77 for the "Earl's Talent" and "Honey One" cultivars, respectively. In addition, the specific gravity and flesh firmness of the fruits were negatively correlated; r = -0.65 and r = -0.63 for the "Honey One" and "Earl's Talent" cultivars, respectively. Moreover, the PLS analysis of the calibration set revealed the determination coefficients (R2) of 0.73 and 0.54 for "Earl's Talent" and "Honey One", respectively, for firmness vs. Vis/NIR spectral values. In addition, the PLS analysis of the prediction set showed r2 = 0.51 for "Honey One" and r2 = 0.50 for "Earl's Talent". Hence, this study highlighted the possibility of using the status of fruit stalk, specific gravity, and Vis/NIR spectra to predict the ripening quality of muskmelons. However, further studies are necessary to develop more robust non-destructive methods for the estimation of the ripening quality of intact muskmelons.

Prediction of ripening of intact muskmelon by using Vis/NIR spectra
Muskmelon (Cucumis melo L. var. reticulatus) is juicy and tasty fruit that belongs to Cucurbitaceae family and believed to have originated from East Africa. It has been distributed from the country of origin to Mediterranean region, Asia, Northern Europe and America (Youn et al., 2009). Muskmelon is cultivated in all tropical and subtropical areas of the world for its nutritional and medicinal value. Worldwide annual production of melons including muskmelon (cantaloupes) was 31.17 million Mt from 1.24 ha million; out of which Republic of Korea took a share of 161,692 Mt from 5,273 ha (FAOSTAT, 2016). In Korea, consumption has been raising with the increase of the cultivation area and with high-quality melon production since the 1990s (Park and Moon, 2004).
In Korea, melon crops are generally grown during winter-spring season in greenhouses where environmental conditions for the crops are precisely controlled with high energy input (Suh et al., 2012). Relevant techniques for prediction of ripening quality are needed at any point in the distribution system to fulfill consumer's preferences.
Most of the methods currently used as a ripening indicators of muskmelon are destructive; destructive analysis allows accurate quantification of quality indices. However, destructive methods are laborious, require proper skill to produce consistent results, costly, time consuming, and require sample preparation and need precautions. Moreover, the destructive methods use very few number of fruit samples to analyze the characteristics of one batch and the measured averaged attributes could not represent the individual fruit (Tilahun et al., 2018). This eventually necessitate the development of rapid, low-cost and reliable non-destructive methods for prediction of ripening quality.
Walsh et al. (2004) reported that sorting of various intact fruit could be achieved by NIR spectroscopy. NIR Spectroscopy is a method that uses the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum (from about 780 nm to 2500 nm) and has become one of the important modern nondestructive determination methods (Sun et al., 2010). NIR range spectra produce qualitative and quantitative information derived from the interaction between NIR spectra and organic compounds that forming the substance (Pasquini, 2003). When radiation hits a sample, the incident radiation may be reflected, absorbed or transmitted based on the chemical constitution and physical parameters of the sample (Sun et al., 2010). Clément et al. (2008) reported accurate prediction of lycopene content from fresh tomato by using Vis/NIR spectra at 400-1000 nm range and the results were almost as accurate as the results obtained from 400-1500 nm range. Tilahun et al. (2018) also reported the accurate prediction of lycopene and β-carotene using Vis/NIR spectrometer in spectral region of 500-1100 nm. In addition, Tian et al. (2007) observed the effectiveness of using Vis/NIR spectra in the range 350-1000 nm for measurement of soluble solids content in watermelon.
TSS, firmness and TA are some of the major characteristics used for assessing muskmelon quality (Seo et al., 2018). This study aimed to correlate objective quality parameters with nondestructive quality indicators to predict ripening quality of muskmelon. Hence, this study was conducted with the objectives (1) to investigate the correlations between moisture of the fruit stalk and specific gravity of the fruit with TSS, firmness and TA for estimation of ripening quality in muskmelon fruit; (2) to examine the possibility of using Vis/NIR spectra in 500-1100 nm range to predict TSS and firmness in intact muskmelon fruit.
"Honey One" (Sejong Bio Co., Ltd) (Fig. 1) and "Earl's Talent" (Nongwoo Bio Co., Ltd) (Fig. 2) muskmelon cultivars were harvested from Kangwon National University's farm greenhouse. The fruits were transported directly to the postharvest laboratory after harvesting and medium sized (about 1.5 kg) fruits were selected by the Agricultural Products Quality Management Administration Standard. The selected fruits were kept at room temperature (25℃ and 50 ± 5% RH) for better ripening (Seo et al., 2018). Data were collected at 3 days interval during 21 days of ripening period. Both cultivars and ripening periods were represented equally during data collection. Five fruit from each cultivar were considered for each sampling days. Totally 80 fruit (40 from each cultivar) were used during ripening period for eight sampling days. The destructive reference analysis for firmness, TSS and TA were made after taking the readings of Vis/NIR spectroscopy and specific gravity.

The T-shaped stem stalk attached to the muskmelon fruit (Fig. 1A and 2A) was cut and measured for initial weight, followed by drying at 75°C for 3 days; the loss in moisture of the stalk was then calculated for each day observations by subtracting each day observation of dry weight of the stem stalk from the initial weight. The specific gravity for each observation days were measured as follows by the method of Cho et al. (2010).
$$Specific\;gravity\;of\;muskmelon=\frac{Density\;of\;muskmelon}{Density\;of\;water}$$ (1)
Pictures were also taken by digital camera (Nikon corp., DX SWM ED IF Aspherical ⌀67, Thailand) during each day observations to see the changes in floatation characteristics in water, fruit stalk status and overall ripening conditions (Fig. 1 and 2). Pearson's correlation test was used to correlate the changes in moisture of the stalk and specific gravity with reference analysis (TSS, TA, and firmness) (Table 1).

The transmittance spectra of muskmelon were acquired from intact fruit using Vis/NIR spectrometer (Life & Tech, CO, Ltd, Yongin, Korea) (Fig. 3) in spectral region of 500-1100 nm as described by Tilahun et al. (2018) with two (12 V/ 100 W) halogen lamp as a source of Vis/NIR light and fruit holder to keep the fruit right above the detector (Fig. 3), the integration time was set to 300 ms and the measurement was done 5 times (different fruit directions) for a single fruit to reduce noise from being included. A total of 3500 data were saved for each measurement at 0.2 nm spectrum resolution. The spectra readings from the first six consecutive sampling periods were used for calibration set and readings from the last two sampling periods were used for prediction set. Transformation of the original spectra data was made by Hanning window, Standard Normal Variate (SNV), Multiplicative Scattering Correction (MSC) and first derivatives to reduce systematic noise and to remove unwanted information. To select the optimal number of latent variables in PLS model, cross validation was performed based on lowest predicted residual error sum of squares (PRESS) value. To establish a linear relationship between spectral data and measured references, partial least square (PLS) regression analysis was performed with MATLAB R2012b (Version 8.0.0.783, The Math Works, Inc., Natick, MA, USA). The performance of the developed PLS model was evaluated in terms coefficient of determination for cross validation (R2) and correlation coefficient for prediction (r2). In this study, we used the method reported by Kim et al. (2011) and Shao et al. (2007) to evaluate the performance of the prediction model. A predictive model with fewer bias value, SEC (standard error of calibration) and SEP (standard error of prediction) is considered to be good prediction model.
Transmittance measuring system and measuring instrument during Vis/NIR spectra measurement of muskmelon.
Fruits were selected based on their uniformity and freedom from defects and cut into sample slices and the firmness was measured at 1 cm and 2 cm from the peel (Seo et al., 2018); five readings were taken from each fruit. Firmness was determined using a rheometer (Model compac-100, Japan). Pressure was applied in the vertical direction with a maximum force of 10 kg using a 3 mm diameter round stainless steel probe with a flat end. The results were expressed in newtons (N) and correlated with moisture of the stalk, specific gravity and Vis/NIR spectra readings.
TSS and TA were measured according to Tilahun et al. (2017). Atago DR-A1 digital refractometer (Atago Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) was used to measure soluble solids content (SSC) from five sample fruits at 20°C, and expressed in %. Titration of the diluted muskmelon juice (1 mL juice: 19 mL distilled water) was done with 0.1 N NaOH up to pH 8.1 using a DL22 Food and Beverage Analyzer (Mettler Toledo Ltd., Zurich, Switzerland) to obtain TA and the result was expressed as mg ‧ 100 g-1.
For PLS model in VIS/NIR spectra readings, samples were divided in to calibration and prediction sets to compare the performance of regression models developed by using firmness and TSS. Ten fruit samples (five fruit from each cultivar) were used during each sampling days of the ripening period at 3 days interval up to 21st day. Totally 80 fruit samples (40 fruit from each cultivar) were used for eight sampling days. Five spectra readings were taken from each fruit during sampling days. Hence, during each sampling days, 50 spectra readings were taken ("Honey One", "Earl's Talent"; 25 each). The fruit samples (60 fruit; 300 spectra readings) from the first six consecutive sampling periods were used for calibration set and fruit samples from the last two sampling periods (20 fruit; 100 spectra readings) were used for prediction set. A total of 80 fruits and 400 readings were used for the experiment (Table 2).

TSS, firmness and TA are the main parameters used for indication of ripening quality of muskmelon fruit (Seo et al., 2018). In this study, TSS, firmness and TA data were collected in destructive method and correlated with non-destructive ripening indicators (moisture of the fruit stalk, specific gravity of the fruit and Vis/NIR spectra readings from the fruit) during ripening of muskmelon at 25°C up to 21 days. The results are presented and discussed as below.
Muskmelon producers and distributers are interested in measurements of quality attributes as they affect consumer acceptability. Reliable nondestructive techniques could replace destructive measurements such as sensory analysis and instrumental measurements. In this study, the correlations between the moisture of stalk and the quality attributes such as firmness, TSS, and TA were made as shown in Table 1 to check the possibility of using non-destructive approaches to determine the ripeness of melon. In "Honey One", there were positive correlations (r = 0.86 and r = 0.88) between moisture of stalk and flesh firmness at 1 cm and 2 cm from the peel, respectively. Similarly, positive correlation (r = 0.46) was observed between moisture of stalk and TA. However, there was a negative correlation (r = -0.44) between moisture of the stalk and TSS. "Earl's Talent" had a relatively lower correlation than "Honey One" in all quality parameters considered except TA (Table 1). There were positive correlations between moisture of stalk and flesh firmness (1 cm and 2 cm from peel) were r = 0.05, r = 0.77, respectively. Moreover, a highly significant (p < 0.05) positive correlation (r = 0.76) was observed between moisture of the stalk and TA. In the present study, the correlation between moisture of the stalk and quality parameters is cultivar dependent. Flesh firmness (1 cm from the peel) and TSS were not significantly (p > 0.05) correlated with moisture of the stalk in "Earl's Talent" cultivar. Nevertheless, flesh firmness (2 cm from the peel) and TA were best correlated with moisture of the stalk in both cultivars. Ahmed (2009) evaluated maturity stages of 'Galia' muskmelon cultivar based on the force needed to detach the attached fruit stalk from the fruit and he suggested that easily pulled fruit stalk could be an indication of excellent qualities. Therefore, observing the wilting status of fruit stalk (Fig. 3), an indicator of loss of moisture and ease of detachment, could be an index for the ripening condition of muskmelon. However, postharvest handling conditions need to be considered carefully as the stalk of the fruit exposed to higher temperature wilts faster than fruit ripened at room temperature.
The correlations between the specific gravity and the ripening quality parameters such as firmness, TSS, and TA were also made in order to see the possibility of using specific gravity as non-destructive ripening indicator (Table 1). Specific gravity showed a significant (p < 0.05) negative correlation with flesh firmness (2 cm from the peel) and TA in both cultivars. On the other hand, TSS was positively correlated but not significantly correlated with specific gravity, irrespective of cultivars. The result complies with Kapse and Katrodia (1996) who reported a positive correlation of specific gravity with TSS and a negative correlation with acidity of mango fruit. In "Honey One", the correlation between specific gravity and flesh firmness (1 cm and 2 cm from peel) were r = -0.61 and r = -0.65, respectively. In addition, the correlation between specific gravity and TA was r = -0.47. In case of "Earl's Talent", flesh firmness 1 cm from the peel and TSS were not significantly correlated with specific gravity. However, significant (p < 0.05) negative correlations, r = -0.63 and r = -0.47 were observed between specific gravity and flesh firmness and TA, respectively. In the present study, the specific gravity of "Honey One" gradually increased from 0.91 and reached 0.96, and the specific gravity of "Earl's Talent" also increased from 0.92 and reached 0.95 at the end of ripening period (Fig. 1 and 2). In both cultivars, the specific gravity increased with the progress of the ripening period. The results of Harker and Hallett (1994) on kiwi fruit complies with our current results. Barbosa-Cánovas et al. (2003) also reported that as a fruit matures, its specific gravity increases. The increase in specific gravity of both cultivars during ripening indicated that, the decrease in weight of fruit was lesser than the corresponding decrease in its volume. Similar finding was reported by Pawar et al. (2011) on sapota fruits. Based on the study results, flesh firmness (2 cm from the peel) and TA were significantly correlated with specific gravity, similar to moisture of the stalk, irrespective of cultivars. Hence, specific gravity could be used as plus point after observing the status of fruit stalk for nondestructive identification of ripening quality of muskmelon.
In this study, intact muskmelon transmittance energy spectra were recorded in the wave length range of 500-1100 nm as shown in Fig. 4. PLS models were also developed and the results of reference vs. Vis/NIR spectra values of firmness and TSS in calibration and prediction sets of "Honey One" and "Earl's Talent" cultivars for the possible non-destructive ripening quality determination are shown in Table 3. In "Honey One", flesh firmness (1 cm from peel) showed determination coefficient of R2 = 0.66 and r2 = 0.55 and flesh firmness (2 cm from peel) showed R2 = 0.73 and r2 = 0.51 during calibration and prediction, respectively. Cho and Sohn (1998) reported high correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.84) in apples for non-destructive measurement of firmness by using NIR. Kim et al. (2010) also reported correlation coefficient (R2 = 0.64) in tomatoes during prediction of the firmness by using the transmittance spectra. TSS showed determination coefficient of R2 = 0.61 and r2 = 0.54 for calibration and prediction sets, respectively. In "Earl's Talent", determination coefficients were relatively lower than "Honey One". As indicated in Table 3, flesh firmness of "Earl's Talent" (1 cm from peel) showed R2 = 0.38 and r2 = 0.39 and 2 cm from peel showed R2 = 0.54 and r2 = 0.50 during calibration and prediction sets, respectively. Similarly, determination coefficients of TSS in "Earl's Talent" were lower than "Honey One"; R2 = 0.12 and r2 = 0.09 were observed in calibration and prediction sets, respectively. Unlike our current findings, Tian et al. (2007) indicated higher correlation coefficient of determination (R2 = 0.92) in watermelon. The results of this study revealed that "Earl's Talent" showed relatively lower predictability than "Honey One". Lower predictability of ripening quality in "Earl's Talent" cultivar by using Vis/NIR spectra could be due to its very thick peel which causes low light transmittance. Further studies with wider Vis/NIR ranges need to be done for more effective non-destructive ripening quality estimation for possible application in the agricultural processing centers to sort muskmelon fruit on a conveyor belt.
In conclusion, this study was carried out to assess the possibility of non-destructive estimation techniques for determination of the ripening quality of muskmelon during storage at 25°C. Among the non-destructive methods (moisture content of stalk, specific gravity and Vis/NIR spectra) analyzed vs. the reference values of quality indicators, both cultivars showed higher correlation for flesh firmness (2 cm from peel) than the other quality parameters. The Vis/NIR spectra analysis showed the higher possibility of non-destructive ripening quality estimation in calibration set but it shows lower determination factor during prediction. Hence, the current study highlights the possibility of using the status of fruit stalk, specific gravity and Vis/NIR spectra to predict the ripening quality of muskmelon fruit. However, further investigation on additional cultivars with the inclusion of more quality parameters and wider Vis/NIR spectra ranges could help to develop more robust models for effective non-destructive ripening quality estimation of intact muskmelon fruit.

Home > Conference Reports > MODEX 2016 > Cisco opens Houston innovation center to develop new supply chain technology
Company may market solutions to outside firms, executive says.
Networking giant Cisco Systems Inc. has developed an "innovation center" in its Houston warehouse, where it will test a range of new-age technologies. Cisco hopes those technologies will optimize its supply chain, as well as supply chains of other companies, a top Cisco logistics executive said today.
Jack Allen, Cisco's senior director, global logistics, said he expects the center to be up and running by the end of April. The company will be piloting programs to test the benefits of augmented reality, location-based wireless areas, wearables, and energy management solutions. Cisco will embed a series of sensors into customers' manufacturing operations that will tie into their data analytics to identify energy-saving opportunities, he said.
The company is also working on what Allen called a "pervasive video" platform, which will allow users to effectively teach software to automatically search for and shoot video of specific events or objects. For example, pervasive video could be used to verify a shipment's chain of custody or to check for carton damage, Allen said.
"We have a whole lot of things we want to pilot," Allen said in the interview. He added that Cisco will evaluate the potential of marketing the technology to other companies, including its vast network of supplier and system-integrator partners. Allen keynoted the second day of the biennial Modex conference in Atlanta.
Cisco ships about 220,000 items per day, Allen said in his keynote presentation.

Cross-Channel Aviation Pioneers
Blanchard and Bleriot, Vikings and Viscounts
By: Bruce Hales-Dutton
Published: 30th November 2020
On 25 July 1909, a dapper, moustachioed Frenchman flying a flimsy, diaphanous aeroplane changed the status of a great nation. 'England is no longer an island,' declared the Daily Mail. Lord Northcliffe, the newspaper's proprietor, had put up the £1,000 prize for the first flight of the English Channel by the pilot of an aeroplane.
In securing the prize for one of aviation's most celebrated firsts, Louis Blériot had beaten his Anglo-French rival Hubert Latham. Six days earlier, Latham had become the first airman to make a forced landing on water when the engine of his elegant Antoinette monoplane failed while he was attempted the crossing.
In this book the author explores the many and varied milestones in cross-channel flight, beginning back in July 1785 when John-Pierre Blanchard and John Jeffries made the first crossing, by balloon. Other flyers quickly followed Blériot so that Pierre Prier made the first non-stop London-Paris flight in April 1911 and Harriet Quimby became the first woman to fly the Channel a year later.
The book will chart other significant events in cross-Channel aviation such as the first mid-air collision between airliners flying between the UK and France, which led to a rudimentary system of air traffic control, the popularity of car ferry services in the 1950s and 1960s, and the coming of the jets.
Other big changes were on the way. In 1994 Eurostar rail passenger services from London using the Channel Tunnel were launched. In October 2001, following chronic air traffic delays during the late 1980s, the European Commission adopted proposals for a Single European Sky but it comes as no surprise to learn that during the second decade of the 21st century this has become bogged down in intra-European politics.

Kimberly Su, Dec. 1, 2016, 9:20 a.m.
The first Apple Store in South Korea is expected to open in late 2017, potentially putting an end to the poor services received by iPhone users here.
According to local news reports Thursday, citing mobile and architecture sources, an Apple Store is currently under construction in Garosugil, a shopping district in southern Seoul, and is expected to be completed in November 2017.
The store is designed by London-based architecture firm Foster and Partners, the news reports said citing papers submitted to Gangnam-gu office. Foster and Partners is known for designing Apple's new headquarters Campus 2 resembling a spaceship located in Cupertino, California.
The latest news comes after Apple posted job openings in September seeking Korean employees in various areas including sales, specialists and "Geniuses." "Geniuses" are technicians who carry out in-store repairs of Apple products at the Genius Bar.
The US tech giant has not officially announced any plan regarding new stores in Seoul.
The Apple Store, if opened, is expected to reduce local consumers' lingering complaints as it follows Apple rules of completing repairs overnight and allowing consumers to receive a replacement unit within 30 days of purchase.
Currently, iPhone users need to wait more than a week for a problem to be resolved.
Even when customers find an issue with a newly purchased phone, they are directed to local repair stores -- to which Apple entrusts customer support -- instead of having a replacement on the spot.
An Apple Korea official was not available for comment.
"When the chronic inconvenience in repair is reduced and local consumers are able to get Apple's new device sooner through the official stores, Apple's market share here may increase," said an anonymous official from a local telecom operator. Apple's new iPhones are normally rolled out a few months after the devices are unveiled in the US.
Some analysts, however, said it is too early to tell whether the opening of one store would make such a big impact in the market which is already dominated by local smartphone makers.
"Because Samsung and LG have built a solid client base here in terms of marketing, service and repair, Apple may not see a significant difference in sales through the opening of one Apple Store," Bae Eun-joon, an analyst at LG Economic Research Institute.
"Although it may be a different story when Apple announces plans to expand stores and repair shops nationwide," Bae added.
The combined sales of Samsung and LG smartphones account for around 80 percent and iPhone has around a 20 percent share in the domestic market, according to Korea Internet & Security Agency.

DataCore with direct attached storage - take care!
Using DataCore's storage virtualization software in conjunction with direct attached storage is a very cost-effective and quite easy to implement way to get a fairly fast SAN.
I myself love to use this kind of setup but there is a problem that you should be aware of.
When using direct attached storage you normally use some kind of RAID controller to get redundancy at a hardware level. On top of this redundancy you put SANsymphony-V to mirror all your data. This way you can be quite sure you will almost always have access to your data.
The problem is, SSY-V doesn't take care of hardware failures. SSY-V relies on the underlying hardware to function correctly. There is no hardware error checking done by SSY-V. This means the hypervisor is fully hardware agnostic.
All kind of error checking has to be done by the hardware itself. Beside using RAID to handle complete hard disk failures, modern RAID controllers use features like "Dynamic sector repair" (as called by HP and their SmartArray controllers) or "Disk scrubbing" to continuously check harddisks for bad blocks or other creeping errors that can render your harddisks inoperable.
In redundant configurations (like RAID1/5/6) if DSR finds bad blocks on one of the array disks it will rebuild the data from the other disk(s) in a new are on the affected disk. If DSR doesn't work for any kind of reason it is possible that bad blocks are unrecognized and data will get corrupted by time. This can happen even in a redundant configuration. The simple RAID function will not help you here!
If you access an unrecognized bad block on a harddisk in SSY-V, the vDisk on the DCS accessing the bad block will immediately be set offline to prevent further data corruption. This is not a problem in a fully mirrored environment as the second DCS will take over but what about non-mirrored vdisks or accessing the bad block during a mirror recovery? Exactly, your only valid data source will be set offline.
This can't happen to you? Well, I always thought the same way until I was faced with this problem two times within a few weeks. In both situations bad blocks were not recognized, one of the DCS shut down uncleanly thus resulting in a full data recovery. During the recovery several vdisks containing bad blocks were set offline on the surviving node.
To cut a long story short, if SSY-V ever denies access to a vdisk because of bad blocks you have no chance to reliable restore access to this data on this DCS. You can try to reboot the DCS, regain access to the vdisk and move the data to a new location. If you are in luck, the data on that bad block isn't used anymore or is unimportant. But say good-bye to a easy and fast way to recover or remirror all your data from that LUN.
Why does this happen? Do you remember the feature called DSR I spoke about a few lines above? This feature should take care that such situations never happen. The problem is, this feature is quite performance intensive because in a regular manner all blocks from all disks have to be checked and this takes time and ressources.
That's the reason why nearly all vendors activate this feature by default but set it to run only in periods of low activity on the system. To be more specific, HP has a default setting to start the DSR only if the disk has no activity for 3-15 sec. And it will immediately stop the check if there is I/O sent to this disk.
In a DataCore environment where all disks are pooled in some kind of RAID0 there is probably never such an inactivity on the disk. That's the reason why DSR will never start.
It is absoluty normal that hard disks get bad blocks. You can't avoid that. That's why all hard disks have some reserved space to handle a fair amount of bad block data. But this relies on check programs like DSR. You should also never think you are save just because you use RAID1/5/6. If there is no DSR running it isn't impossible that all redundant data lies on bad blocks. Believe me, this happend two times to me so I assume the risk is quite high (or I'm really out of luck....).
So what to do? The answer is quite simple: you have to set your check program to run at a high priority. This can have an impact on your system's performance but is the only chance to avoid such a dead lock.
Why is only direct attached storage affected? Because all SAN storage systems I know do not rely on times of inactivity. They simply start them on a scheduled base, ignoring impact on performance. Data integrity is more important than performance!
So keep that in mind whenever you use DAS in a DataCore system!


Instead of spending the next $100 million on buildings, what if the City of Eugene spent the money on communities? After all, community organizations often outlast their buildings. If they are viable, they create their own buildings. Saturday Market, the Farmer's Market, even the University of Oregon are examples.
Imagine 1,000 $100,000 grants, for self-sustaining organizations that do what the public wants. What if each latent community in Eugene created their own public center, to serve themselves and to invite people in?
What if you were able to vote on this dispersement of funds? What if you were able to start a project and see if people liked the idea, and would help you to shape it? You can! This tool intends to make this possible.
That can be started for under $100,000.

Facebook suspends ~200 suspicious apps out of 'thousands' reviewed so far
Did you just notice a Facebook app has gone AWOL? After reviewing "thousands" of apps on its platform following a major data misuse scandal that blew up in March, Facebook has announced it's suspended around 200 apps — pending what it describes as a "thorough investigation" into whether or not their developers misused Facebook user data.
The action is part of a still ongoing audit of third party applications running on the platform announced by Facebook in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica data misuse scandal where a third party developer used quiz apps to extract and pass Facebook user data to the consultancy for political ad targeting purposes.
CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the app audit on March 21, writing that the company would "investigate all apps that had access to large amounts of information before we changed our platform to dramatically reduce data access in 2014, and we will conduct a full audit of any app with suspicious activity".
Apps that would not agree to a "thorough audit" would also be banned, he said then.
Just under two months on and the tally is ~200 'suspicious' app suspensions, though the review process is ongoing — and Facebook is not being more specific about the total number of apps it's looked at so far (beyond saying "thousands") — so expect that figure to rise.
In the Cambridge Analytica instance, Facebook admitted that personal information on as many as 87 million users may have been passed to the political consultancy — without most people's knowledge or consent.
Giving an update on the app audit process in a blog post, Ime Archibong, Facebook's VP of product partnerships, writes that the investigation is "in full swing".
"We have large teams of internal and external experts working hard to investigate these apps as quickly as possible," he says. "To date thousands of apps have been investigated and around 200 have been suspended — pending a thorough investigation into whether they did in fact misuse any data. Where we find evidence that these or other apps did misuse data, we will ban them and notify people via this website. It will show people if they or their friends installed an app that misused data before 2015 — just as we did for Cambridge Analytica."
Archibong does not confirm how much longer the audit will take — but does admit there's a long way to go, writing that: "There is a lot more work to be done to find all the apps that may have misused people's Facebook data – and it will take time."
"We are investing heavily to make sure this investigation is as thorough and timely as possible," he adds.
Where Facebook does have concerns about an app — such as the ~200 apps it has suspended pending a fuller probe — Archibong says it will conduct interviews; make requests for information ("which ask a series of detailed questions about the app and the data it has access to"); and perform audits "that may include on-site inspections".
So Facebook will not be doing on site inspections in every suspicious app instance.
We've asked Facebook a series of follow up questions about the ~200 suspicious apps it's identified, and more broadly about the ongoing audit process and will update this post with any response.
For instance it's not clear whether the company will publish a public list of every app that it suspends or deems to have misused user data — or whether it will just notify affected individuals.
Given the likely scale of data misuse by developers on its platform there is an argument for Facebook to publish a public list of suspensions.

INTERVIEW: Waldo Greeff
RJ Frometa November 4, 2019	Artist Interviews Leave a comment
Hi Waldo, welcome to VENTS! How have you been?
I'm great thanks! Some exciting projects I'm working on at the moment have me busy, but can't wait to share it with you guys.
Can you talk to us more about your latest single "Breathe For You"?
"Breathe for You" is a mid-tempo love song with the message that you would do anything for your partner, including breathe for them. I wrote the song many years ago and actually gave it to Kelly Clarkson when I met her in 2010, with the hope that she would record it. Needless to say she didn't, so I decided to record it myself. I then got UK songwriter Bethany Weimers to add her magic touch to the song and she contributed by writing the bridge of the song. I got Swedish producer Christian Rabb to re-produce the song and turn it into what it is today.
Did any event in particular inspire you to write this song?
I remember sitting behind my piano thinking that I wanted to write a love ballad. I had a melody in mind for the chorus and I worked around that to create the rest of the song.
How was the filming process and experience behind the video?
The filming of the music video was a special day for me because it was my first ever music video that I filmed. The video production company AVC studios in South Africa shot the video. They also came up with the concept of the video, which I loved. The idea of having an actress play someone who might be ill, put a physical spin on the title of the song. There are these scenes in the video where I have a pillow-fight with my love interest. I remember still finding feathers in my shoes two days after the video shoot!
How was the recording and writing process?
The recording process of the song was an interesting one. I recorded the majority of the vocals in South Africa. By the time that Bethany had re-written the bridge of the song, I was already in the UAE working in Dubai. I then found a recording studio in Dubai where I recorded the vocals of the bridge. I then sent the vocals back to South Africa for mixing and finishing the mastering of the song.
What role does South Africa play in your music?
Funny enough, ten years ago "Breathe for You" was one of a handful of English songs that I had written. Up to that point I had mostly written in my native language of Afrikaans. South Africa is such a beautiful country and it definitely shaped my writing style to what it is today. The music industry in South Africa is really small when compared to the States. For that reason, as a songwriter you learn to write by yourself. It's not very often that writers would co-write. Having been to Nashville a couple of times now, it is fascinating to see and experience the co-writing culture that exists there. It's always a great learning curve for me when I go to Nashville and get to collab with other writers. I love observing their writing styles and it always gets me out of my comfort zone which is so easy to fall into when you write by yourself.
How does your background as a teacher actually gets to influence your approach to music and the other way around?
Having songwriting as my passion is great for my students because I frequently teach units in my lessons where we create melodies, rhythms or lyrics. The students love the idea of creating something out of nothing and I often find myself surprised by the creativity that my younger students have. Kids also say the strangest things and I have a couple of times written down something they've said which I then turned into a song.
Does the new single mean we can expect a new material – how's that coming along?
Yes there are new releases on the way and I am super excited about them! I am also working hard at getting my music easily accessible on most music platforms.
Any tentative release date or title in mind?
My next single is called "Speechless". The single will be released 22 Nov and the video a week after. It has a more commercial pop vibe and a really nice "sing along in the car" chorus.
Any plans to hit the road?
At the moment I am working towards having enough material available for an album and shows. I will be in in the States in June, July, August 2020 and plan on doing some shows. People can connect with me on social media to see where I will be and when.
What else is happening next in Waldo Greeff's world?
I am writing a lot of new material and hopefully I will get to shoot visual content to release in the form of music videos. I am traveling to Australia in December and will hopefully connect with some producers there to work on new songs. In the meantime I am scouting out all the new coffee shops that pop up in Qatar as I love my coffee!!

Cubs 2020 Schedule Revealed: Season Opens Against Brewers at Wrigley, Features Very Uneven Divisional Splits
Evan AltmanJuly 6, 2020
The MLB schedule won't be officially announced until Monday evening, but Cubs Insider has gotten an advanced look at the Cubs' slate for 2020. According to a source familiar with the situation, the Cubs will open at home against the Brewers on Friday, July 24 in the first of what will be some very uneven home/road splits with divisional opponents.
Rather than playing five games at each ballpark, the Cubs' 10 games against their NL Central rivals will be on 7/3 splits. Getting the Brewers and Cardinals for seven games at Wrigley is great, but playing seven games in Cincy may be rough. The Cubs will also play the White Sox six times, the Indians and Royals four times each, and the Twins (at Wrigley) and Tigers just three times apiece.
Game times have not yet been announced, but it's expected that weekday games other than Fridays will be at night. Weekend games will likely be during the day unless the Cubs are part of Sunday Night Baseball.
Here's the full schedule (all times CT on Marquee, national games noted):
7/24 – Brewers 6:10 pm (ESPN)
7/25 – Brewers 12:05 pm (FOX)
7/26 – Brewers 1:20 pm
7/27 – @ Reds 5:40 pm
7/31 – Pirates 7:15 pm
8/1 – Pirates 7:15 pm
8/3 – Royals 7:15 pm
8/5 – @ Royals 7:05 pm
8/7 – @ Cardinals 7:15 pm
8/10 – OFF
8/11 – @ Indians/Spiders 6:10 pm
8/17 – Cardinals 7:15 pm
8/21 – White Sox 7:15 pm
8/24 – @ Tigers 6:10 pm
8/30 – @ Reds 12:10 pm
9/1 – @ Pirates 6:05 pm
9/3 – @ Pirates 12:35 pm
9/4 – Cardinals 7:15 pm
9/8 – Reds 7:15 pm
9/10 – Reds 7:15 pm
9/11 – @ Brewers 7:10 pm
9/15 – Indians/Spiders 7:15 pm
9/18 – Twins 7:15 pm
9/21 – @ Pirates 6:05 pm
9/25 – @ White Sox 7:10 pm
Ed. note: Some thoughts can be lost in the rush to publish, so I wanted to add an observation here while it's still on my mind. The unbalanced home-road splits are a way to limit travel by cutting off one trip from each matchup, but they might not result in as much of an advantage one way or the other as they would under normal circumstances.
Divisional teams have unbalanced splits every season anyway, this just amps it up slightly. But what really balances things back out is the lack of most or all fans in ballparks, which will change the dynamics of home-field advantage. We're not talking about huge factors one way or the other, of course, but it's an interesting concept to mull over.
What I find even more intriguing than the notion that a visiting team won't have to face legions of detractors is that neither team will have much at all in the way of noise. It's been at least mildly disconcerting to watch the Cubs' intrasquad scrimmages at Wrigley and I think that will have an impact on players if and when the season starts.
This could actually be an advantage for the Brewers in particular, since they don't have to worry about the Cubs having more fans than them at Miller Park. That also means they don't have to cook up ways to prevent Illinoisans from buying tickets, an exercise in futility that always makes me laugh.
