California Reservoirs Fail to Fill Up After Weeks of Rain
Most of California's major reservoirs failed to reach full capacity after more than two weeks of rainstorms, according to the latest data from the state water department.
As of Jan. 23, among the 17 major reservoirs, only the smallest one—the Cachuma Reservoir northwest of Santa Barbara—was nearly full, at about 1.5 times its historical average level, according to the California Department of Water Resources.
The rest were partially filled, ranging from about 30 to 80 percent.
Seven of them were still below their historical average, including the 4.5 million acre-feet Shasta Reservoir—the largest in California, more than 23 times Cachuma's capacity—at 55 percent.
Colin McCarthy, a weather news contributor and an atmospheric science student at the University of California–Davis, estimated about 32.6 trillion gallons, or more than 100 million acre-feet, of rainwater washed over the state as of Jan. 18 since the storms began in late December—using the Old Farmer's Almanac, a guide to weather forecast and planting charts.
"Major drought relief," he wrote on Twitter.
Water storage facilities statewide can hold 43 million acre-feet, according to the Public Policy Institute of California's 2018 report (pdf). The state has not built any new reservoirs since 1978.
Aging Infrastructure and Pumping Restrictions
Kristi Diener, founder of the grassroots California Water for Food and People Movement—an advocacy group calling for water protection—told The Epoch Times if the reservoirs are full, they can provide enough to make five dry years survivable without additional rain.
"We just need them to fill them up once, and they couldn't even do that," she said.
In the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta through which the majority of the state's water flows, nearly 95 percent of the incoming rainwater has run to the Pacific Ocean, according to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.

Two-thirds of California's water originates in the Sierra Nevada Mountains and flows through the Delta, a large inland river delta and estuary in northern California.
A 444-mile aqueduct carries water to the San Joaquin Valley and southern California. The water is stored in reservoirs before being distributed to local communities.
However, the aging facilities make water transportation and storage inefficient, according to the state water department.
"The current infrastructure to move water through the Delta is outdated, vulnerable to earthquakes, and limits the export of water during these long, sustained winter storms," department officials said on Twitter Jan. 16.
Also, under the drought emergency order put in place by Gov. Gavin Newsom last April for the third year in a row, the amount of water farmers can use in the Central Valley is restricted. Other factors include the preservation of the delta smelt fish under the Endangered Species Act, which limits agricultural water pumping.

Farmers have to "watch their farmland die" if they can't operate without violating the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act, passed in 2014 to preserve groundwater in the long run, said Diener.
"It's a year's supply of water for everybody in the state in two weeks gone, because they reduce the pumping," she said.
As a result of the lost water, "families are going to be subject to water restrictions as they have been," she added.
About a dozen lawmakers sent letters last week asking state and federal officials to relax pumping restrictions. They said the stormwater should have been pumped to reservoirs and aqueducts instead of being left to run to the ocean.

Congress Promises to Address Concerns of Seemandhra
The Congress leadership Tuesday assured its MPs from Seemandhra that their concerns would be addressed in the bill to be tabled in parliament for formation of separate Telangana state.
Published: 05th February 2014 12:42 AM | Last Updated: 05th February 2014 12:43 AM | A+A A-
After the three-hour long meeting, party general secretary Digvijaya Singh told reporters that the MPs and the central ministers from Seemandhra expressed their views and concerns.
"Congress party will take up these issues with the ministers in the GoM (Group of Ministers) to ensure that it is a win-win situation for both people of Telangana and Seemandhra," he said.
The MPs and central ministers from both Telangana and Seemandhra attended the meeting, called by the party leadership ahead of the parliament session beginning Wednesday. Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh, who is also a member of GoM, was also present.
Six MPs from Seemandhra who had moved a no-confidence motion against the UPA government during the previous session were also invited to the meeting.
One of them L. Rajagopal left the meeting in a huff. He said the MPs from Seemandhra would not allow parliament to function if the bill rejected in both houses of Andhra Pradesh legislature was tabled.
Another MP Ananta Venkatarama Reddy wondered how the government can do justice to Seemandhra without going through over 9,000 suggestions and amendments mooted in the state legislature.
Union Minister of State for Finance J.D. Seelam told reporters that they conveyed to the leadership that it can move forward on the Telangana issue only after addressing the concerns of Seemandhra people.

What Is the Point of Veterinary Acupuncture?
By Tanya Stephens
There is no scientific evidence for the use of acupuncture in any animal, including humans. We know that the powerful placebo effect tricks human patients into thinking acupuncture works, but why do some people (including some veterinarians who should know better) think that it's curing animals? Is this an extreme example of cognitive bias or the caregiver placebo effect, in which the caregiver believes their animal has responded to a "treatment"? It's a well-known phenomenon in animal care, but who is being treated: the owner or their pet?
The caregiver placebo effect means that the owner not only thinks that their animal has improved but will tell the acupuncturist so. Caregiver placebo effects are the result of using inconsistent subjective measures of response instead of objective measures. As in the human field, veterinarians using ineffective therapies will often target lucrative chronic disease conditions such as arthritis, which can wax and wane, and owners may not expect much improvement anyway.
The use of ineffective "therapies" on animals is a serious animal welfare and ethical issue. Acts and codes of conduct require veterinarians to base their decisions on scientific evidence and current knowledge, have the animal as the first priority, and alleviate suffering – certainly not add to it by sticking needles into non-consenting pets.
It's easy to understand why some pet owners are misled. Would veterinarians carry out this treatment if it's no good? Doesn't that give it credibility? The claims for using acupuncture on your pet to cure just about any disease are seductive, especially if it's not really clear what is wrong.
The International Veterinary Acupuncture Society runs continuing education courses and accreditation delivered in Australia by the Australian Veterinary Acupuncture Group (AVAG, a special interest group of the Australian Veterinary Association) through the Australian College of Veterinary Acupuncture (ACVA). Courses teach the theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), in which acupuncture is an integral part. According to AVAG, acupuncture can be used as a sole therapy although graduates are encouraged to use it as an adjunct 'to provide a better outcome for their patients'.
ACVA states: "Acupuncture is an important part of a system of TCM developed over a period of 3000 years... Drug-free, it stimulates the body's innate capacity to heal itself... In China, horses, cows and pigs have been treated for well over 3000 years" with acupuncture. The idea that the Chinese have used acupuncture on animals for thousands of years can be dispelled with minimal research.
There is no evidence the ancient Chinese did any more to "treat" their animals than any other culture, and certainly didn't do so for domestic animals. An early chart supposedly showing acupuncture points on horses (https://goo.gl/aTtfnr) has been revealed as a chart with pointers to different parts of the body. Acupuncture points have never been shown to exist in animals; acupuncture for animals is a 1970s invention.
The AVAG website claims that acupuncture is in the process of being awarded speciality status in the USA. In fact, and not surprisingly, specialist status was soundly rejected in May 2016 by the American Veterinary Medical Association on the recommendation of the American Board of Veterinary Specialties.
Veterinarians who have as their first priority the health and welfare of animals and who act as advocates for them should be the first professionals to shun, and certainly not embrace, any aspect of TCM, associated as it is with animal welfare concerns; from bear biling to the use of rhino horns; from decimation of the pangolin and ejiao made out of donkey skins to boost well-being and libido (https://goo.gl/nCovcd).
The use of homeopathy on animals has been shown up as a load of ineffective nonsense so it is hard to understand why, given the lack of evidence, the use of TCM and acupuncture persists. What is the point?
Tanya Stephens is a small animal practitioner, wildlife researcher and published author and presenter on veterinary ethics. Her previous contribution to Australasian Science, "Needless Treatment of Pets", was published in Australasian Science in July/August 2014 (https://goo.gl/FZ7SFQ).

An examination of king leopolds ghost
Introduction In the centuries following the discovery of the New World, the countries of Europe became very wealthy and powerful. Belgium, as a small, relatively new European country, lagged far behind its rivals as an imperial power. In the late 19th century, King Leopold II of Belgium decided that he wanted to make Belgium a major empire by acquiring territory in Africa.
Durham, the residence of her grandfather, Isaac Lowthian Bell, F. Sir Lowthian, ironmaster and colliery owner in the county of Durham, was a distinguished man of science. Gertrude therefore had the possibility An examination of king leopolds ghost inheriting from both Northumbrian and Cumbrian forbears some of the energy and intelligence of the north.
Gertrude was three years old when she lost her mother, who died when Gertrude's brother Maurice was born. Through all her wanderings, whether far or near, she kept in the closest touch with her home, always anxious to share her experiences and impressions with her family, to chronicle for their benefit all that happened to her, important or unimportant: Those letters, varied, witty, enthralling, were a constant joy through the years to all those who read them.
It was fortunate for the recipients that the act of writing, the actual driving of the pen, seemed to be no more of an effort to Gertrude than to remember and record all that the pen set down. She was able at the close of a day of exciting travel to toss a complete account of it on to paper for her family, often covering several closely written quarto pages.
And for many years she kept a diary as well. Then the time came when she ceased to write a diary. From onwards the confidential detailed letters of many pages, often written day by day, took its place. These were usually addressed to her father and dispatched to her family by every mail and by every extra opportunity.
But the letters to her family have provided such abundant material for the reconstruction of her story that it has not been found necessary to ask for any others. Short extracts from a few outside letters to some of her intimate friends, however, have been included.
The earlier of these letters, written when she was at home and therefore sending no letters to her family, show what her home life and outlook were at the time of her girlhood, when she was living an ordinary life--in so far as her life could ever be called ordinary.
They foreshadow the pictures given in her subsequent family letters of her gradual development on all sides through the years, garnering as she went the almost incredible variety of experiences which culminated and ended in Bagdad.
Letters written when she was twenty show that after her triumphant return from Oxford with one of the most brilliant Firsts of her year she threw herself with the greatest zest into all the amusements of her age, sharing in everything, enjoying everything, dancing, skating, fencing, going to London parties; making ardent girl friendships, drawing in to her circle intimates of all kinds.
She also loved her country life, in which her occupations included an absorbing amount of gardening, fox hunting--she was a bold rider to hounds--interesting herself in the people at her father's ironworks, and in her country village, making friends in every direction.
And when she was wandering far afield her wanderings began very early--she went to Roumania when she was twenty-two and to Persia when she was twenty-three she was always ready to take up her urban or country life at home on her return with the same zest as before, carrying with her, wherever she was, her ardent zest for knowledge, turning the flashlight of her eagerness on to one field of the mind after another and making it her own, reading, assimilating, discussing until the years found her ranged on equal terms beside some of the foremost scholars of her time.
To most people outside her own circle Gertrude was chiefly known by her achievements in the East, and it is probably the story of these that they will look for in this book. But the letters here published, from the time she was twenty until the end of her life, show such an amazing range of many-sided ability that they may seem to those who read them to present a picture worth recording at every stage.
Gertrude Margaret Lowthian Bell, to give her all her names, although she rarely used the second, was born on the 14th July, , at Washington Hall, Co. Durham, the residence of her grandfather, Isaac Lowthian Bell, F.R.S., afterwards Sir Lowthian Bell, Bart.

King Leopold's Ghost can be recommended as an economical education in one of the lesser-known atrocities of the capitalist system, as well as an eye-opening account of history's most ruthless 91%.
Scholar, poet, historian, archaeologist, art critic, mountaineer, explorer, gardener, naturalist, distinguished servant of the State, Gertrude was all of these, and was recognised by experts as an expert in them all. On the other hand, in some of the letters addressed to her family are references to subjects or events that may seem trivial or unimportant.
But Gertrude's keen interest in every detail concerning her home was so delightful, and present her in such a new light to many who knew her only in public that these passages have been included.
Her love for her family, for her parents, for her brothers and sisters, her joy in her home life, has always seemed to those who shared that life to be so beautiful that it is worth dwelling on by the side of more exceptional experiences, and by the side of the world-famous achievements of one whose later life especially might well have separated her in mind and sympathy as well as in person from her belongings.
But her letters show how unbreakable to the last was the bond between her and her home, and above all between her and her father. The abiding influence in Gertrude's life from the time she was a little child was her relation to her father.
Her devotion to him, her whole-hearted admiration, the close and satisfying companionship between them, their deep mutual affection--these were to both the very foundation of existence until the day she died.

King Leopold's Ghost is an immaculately written, highly accessible history that offers a richly informative and insightful analysis of Europe's relations with Congo and Africa in a previously neglected yet hugely important period.

The addition of systemd to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 marks a major change in how the boot process, system services, and runlevels are managed. Download the attached cheat sheet and use it as a quick reference to the systemd systemctl and journalctl commands, options, and tasks.
Good stuff. Wish I found this before making my own cheat sheet after pouring over man pages and the System Admin manual. Thanks, Red Hat.
This is over 3 years old.
Is it accurate and current ?
I think RHEL 7 lacks the systemctl revert command though but I still find edit useful even if I have to manually remove the drop-ins.

Ojo's World: We went on Holidays!
We have just come back from a lovely 4 night stay, in Hengar Manor Park, Cornwall. We got a fabulous, last minute, deal with Hoseasons which basically meant we booked, packed and left, all within 4 days! This would normally be unheard of, for my little family, but we decided to go for it anyway. It did mean leaving our eldest behind, but he wouldn't enjoy it. Days in the pool, or on the beach, are not really what he's looking for in a holiday at nearly 20.
We successfully found our way, a short 3.5 hour drive and settled in quite quickly. It was a lovely little bungalow, small and slightly dated, but clean and with everything we required.
Overall, we had a lovely week, the sun peeked through a fair bit, but not too hot.
The day at the beach was a very short one. We drove 45mins to our favourite beach, Perranporth. When we arrived it was PACKED, more than usual, which made it a nightmare to park. I have to consider how far my husband can walk, on uneven 'rustic' pavements and that Ajax struggles walking too far also. After paying £5 to park, in a field, I was nagged about getting to the beach......for the whole 5mins it took to walk there.
When we arrived, we found a spot by some steps, so hubby could sit while the boys played. I kicked a ball around with my, football mad, middle boy, while Ajax played in the sand. The 2 boys then decided that middle boy was going to get buried in sand, so the youngest started digging, with his hands, where he managed to scrape a finger. This led to a lot of whimpering and grizzling, until we could get cleaned up, leave the beach and find a chemist for plasters (the only thing that calms him, is if he can't see it).
We probably lasted an hour on the beach, tops!
The day at the zoo was saved by taking the wheelchair for Ajax. That way he could stay out of the way, whilst still enjoying all the animals. It also saves me from losing him, especially when him and his brother go in different directions!
Everything from what I pack, like making sure middle boy has his guitar (yes, I take it on holidays) because it calms him, has consequences. I always check I can get WiFi in my Caravan/Bungalow/room, wherever I go. I actually take a bag of various electronics, so I have back ups for the back ups! I also have to make sure I have a bag of books, for Ajax, so a trip to library was made, before we left.
Let's not even go there with the food! When I order Chicken dippers, with chips, for Ajax, I do not want chicken goujons, cooked in buttermilk, with chips cooked 3 ways, in goose fat etc etc. I WANT F**KING CHICKEN DIPPERS WITH CHIPS!!!! As if getting him to eat wasn't hard enough!? So obviously a supermarket visit is first on our list to get frozen potato waffles, crisps and bread.
Going away, as a parent with autistic children is not all fun and games. Yes, we had a good week, the boys loved it, but that doesn't mean it wasn't bloody exhausting!
That's 2 parents, exhausted but happy, that have survived another break away!
Do you have plans for the summer?
We probably won't leave the house again, through the school holidays. If we do, it will be spread all over social media, because we deserve to be bloody smug!
Gorgeous photos, and I totally get all the behind the scenes work that goes into them!
Well done for surviving, and by the sounds of it enjoying, your holiday! Sounds very stressful & super organised, but hopefully worth it.

Has Obama sold out his gun-control principles?
President Obama started his political career calling for much tougher gun laws, but in the wake of the Aurora massacre he's promising to defend gun rights. What happened?
AP Photo/Susan Walsh
byThe Week Staff
When Barack Obama first ran for national office in 1999, he was a vocal advocate for stronger gun laws. In an unsuccessful primary challenge against the congressman in his Chicago district, Bobby Rush, Obama called for a range of tough policies, including stiffer penalties for interstate transportation of firearms, a higher federal tax on gun sales, limiting gun purchases to one per month, and banning the sale of all firearms except "antiques" at gun shows. A decade later, after Friday's horrific massacre in an Aurora, Colo., movie theater during a screening of the new Batman film, The Dark Knight Rises, Obama avoided a confrontation with the powerful gun lobby by promising to protect gun rights under the Second Amendment while using current laws to keep guns out of the hands of people who shouldn't have them. Has Obama abandoned his commitment to fighting gun violence with tighter gun laws?
Obama has sold out on gun control: The president's expression of sympathy for the victims in Aurora was "wrenching, touching, dramatic, sincere," says Roger Simon at Politico. It was also "baloney." His emotions were undoubtedly genuine — but "what was baloney is that he intends to do nothing about preventing such bloodshed and suffering in the future." Mitt Romney's no better of course, but Obama used to offer the victims of gun violence hope. Now he's just another of the "politicians who enable" the shooters."President Obama's gun baloney"
Don't blame Obama: It's the public and Congress who have forsaken gun control, says Robert Shrum at The Daily Beast. Obama won't change anything by mounting a quixotic fight for saner gun restrictions that will get smacked down in the House and Senate. Such "faux courage" would only "sacrifice his chances in swing states like Ohio and Pennsylvania," shattering his chances at re-election and ensuring that Romney would "further pack" the Supreme Court in favor of people who prize their gun rights over the lives of "the victims still to come." "For Obama, Romney, and America, gun control is dead"
If Obama has softened his stance, it's news to the NRA: Gun-control advocates were crushed to hear Obama's spokesman sounding like a member of the National Rifle Association, says Linda Feldmann at The Christian Science Monitor. Still, the NRA still thinks Obama is "the most anti-gun president in history," based on his record. Whatever the other side thinks, gun-rights advocates are convinced that if Obama wins, freeing him from worrying about another campaign, he will "will show his true colors on guns.""Colorado shooting: Why calling Obama 'anti-gun' is smart politics"

Hammer Horror : In Praise of the Double Feature
mikestakeonthemovies	 January 3, 2017	 12 Comments
If there is one thing my generation missed out on it's the double bill. Two movies for the price of one. Sure the drive-ins are mainly a dead issue but there are still some to be found if you feel the need to give one a go or if you have kids of your own, show them what the experience is all about. I would imagine that a good majority of theater goers today have no idea that at one time you could see two films for the price of that one ticket, aside from the Tarantino/Rodriguez double bill Grindhouse.
Then again you could exit one movie screen and attempt to sneak into another in these multiplex buildings. Not exactly a bright idea but yes way back in my crazy youthful days I'll admit to being guilty of just such and endeavor. Paid to see Ghostbusters with a group of pals and promptly snuck into see Teachers. Kind of funny looking back as it's not the ideal double bill.
Personally, I think the only time I may have seen a double bill at the theater was years ago when I believe my parents dropped me off with a group of other 10 year olds for a pair of Tim Conway low budget comedies, They Went That A Way & That A Way and The Billion Dollar Hobo. In hind sight, not much to get overly excited about. Especially when I see the one sheets that were in the lobbies of movie theaters advertising the latest Hammer features paired up for our horrific pleasures while memorabilia shopping.
Had I been around at the time, opening night would have been beckoning me to find a seat front and center to experience this Hammerfest!
The Baron gets paired up with one of the Hammer "Hitchcockian" thrillers for our descent into terror and madness.
Making it tough on the male of the species, Hammer paired up two of the most beautiful women on the planet for this double helping of what has become Universally known as Hammer Glamour.
High on any list of Hammer films, this pairing represents a must see if we could turn back the clock.
Latter day Hammer films brought us this pair of seventies titles.
A sure fire way to get me parting with cash is this double bill. And how about those give aways. Fangs and Zombie glasses. The memorabilia collector in me bubbles to the surface when I see these promos.
Promoters could even cheat just a bit. A Hammer film paired with what you could assume to be another Hammer title. After all, it has Christopher Lee in it.
Do I have any Hammer double bill posters tucked away in the vault here at home? Considering Hammer films have long been a passion, I should say so.
Twins of Evil is simply one of my favorites of the later years and Hands of the Ripper a surprisingly effective chiller.
On this one I love the tag line, One makes'em the other breaks'em. Not to mention Beware the beat of the cloth wrapped feet.
Cape Fear (1962)
Frankenstein and the Monster From Hell (1974)

My first DF that I recall was Star Wars and The Terronauts, thanks to me being late to the party, lol. That older film was so boring and bizarre that I fell asleep and as we got to the theater maybe mid-way through SW, we had to sit through the crappier flick ans stuck around through SW, making my first time seeing a film one and a half times.
I never even saw Star Wars till 1981 when the hockey team I played for all went to the movies. What I remember most about that trip is seeing a movie poster on the wall for an upcoming release. Death Hunt with Bronson and Marvin. That for me was a heck of a lot more exciting than Star Wars. lol.
I think those Hammer movies were ideal for double features, and some of those posters are simply terrific. I actually think one of the most attractive things about the double bill concept is the shorter running times of individual movies which were necessary for it to be practical. I think this is especially relevant in our current age of padded and bloated blockbusters.
Much like the product Universal International put out in the fifties. Westerns and the sci-fi stuff. Running times lent themselves nicely to the double bill.
Yes, it was a viable option for a lot of studio material up to the end of the 50s/early 60s anyway, and quite a bit later in the UK.
The earliest double feature I can remember seeing – not including Disney pairings – was one from the early 1970s, The Boy Who Cried Werewolf and Sssssss. The last I remember was from the mid-80s, a couple of cheap horror offerings that would've gone straight to video otherwise. I remember one was TerrorVision, but I can't remember the other. And I love that last poster you're holding!
I've still never seen the Boy Cried Werewolf. I know it turned up on blu, just waiting for a cheap price tag. Sssss a weird one but Strother Martin makes it a must.
realthog says:
Well, I can remember *wheezes pthisically* when you usually got two features, a newsreel and a cartoon! Not to mention the All Next Week.
Sounds like the Warner Classics on DVD when they include a short, cartoon and newsreel in their attempt to send us back in time.
The other thing I can remember us often getting, presumably in place of the newsreel, was a 25-minute true crime mini-documentary introduced and narrated by a guy called Edgar Lustgarten, famously parodied in Rocky Horror Picture Show. Lustgarten always looked as if he were about to get his r*cks off when it came to the account of the sentencing and inevitable execution. He also repeatedly claimed that no one had ever been incorrectly hanged in the UK, which was a bit rum when it came to the Timothy Evans case . . .
Among the delights of the UK double features was that I got to see most of the Edgar Wallace Mystery Theatre that way on the big screen — yahey!
Don Ostertag says:
I grew up in the time of double features. Seemed like a waste of time and money to go to a movie with only one feature. Sometimes Dad would drive me into town to my cousins and then to the Saturday matinee at the theater. There would be at least two movies, mostly westerns or jungle movies, and sometimes three. There was always a serial episode and umteen cartoons. My cousin went every Saturday so the times when I didn't go, he would call me up and tell me all about that episode of the serial.
Those are wonderful memories. Thanks for sharing them here. I love the buddy system for updating the latest serial cliffhanger.

Michael Harrington (1916-1999)
Bert Riggs has dubbed Michael Harrington a "Renaissance man." A multitalented and prolific educator, writer, historian, broadcaster, editor and lecturer, he is best known as Editor-in-Chief at The Telegram for more than 23 years from 1959-1982, where he also wrote a popular weekly column, "Offbeat History" for forty-five years.
Michael Harrington, ca. 1948
In his first work, Newfoundland Tapestry (1943), Harrington's main backdrop is the power and call of the sea.
Photographer unknown. Reproduced by permission of Archives and Special Collections (Coll. 309 [no item number]), Queen Elizabeth II Library, Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John's, NL.
Born to Mary Wadden and Michael Harrington, he attended St. John's schools, being a graduate of Holy Cross and St. Bonaventure College. He continued his studies under the Arts program at Memorial University College, where he was the founder and editor of Memorial University's first student newspaper, The Memorial Times. Later, in 1949, when the college was granted degree-granting status, he became the first person to graduate with a degree (B.A. 1951).
Having briefly worked with the United States Engineer's Department at Fort Pepperell, he had a short acting career with the St. John's Players, acting alongside Hal Holbrook, an American service man who progressed to become a well known and respected member of the acting community in the United States. He also worked with the Commission of Government's Health and Welfare Department, supervising social assistant payments.
However, his stint as a DJ, with a quarter-hourly popular music program on VONF led to his position as host of the popular radio program airing daily on VONF and VOGY and later on VOCM, The Barrleman, after Joey Smallwood's retirement in 1943. In this position, he also became editor of its connected publication, The Newfoundlander. As part of this position he established the O'Leary Newfoundland Poetry Contest, editing a collection of prize-winning poems in 1952. Married to Katherine Smyth in 1947 and father of five children, Michael, Paul, Tom, Beth and Denise, most of who pursued careers in journalism as well, Harrington frequently traveled to Europe and loved the opera.
Harrington also had a brief political career, being a secretary of the Newfoundland Board of Trade and Editor of its Journal of Commerce. In 1946, he was elected to the National Convention, a body established by the British government to make recommendations on future forms of Newfoundland government. He ran as a candidate for the PC party in the first post-Confederation provincial election, representing St. John's West. He refused Joseph Smallwood's promise that he would be a member of the delegation in Ottawa to seek the terms of Union if he comprised with Smallwood's confederation aims.
He was a strong Newfoundland Nationalist, who declared "I never lost...an opportunity in press or in radio to declare we should aspire to return to self-government, with independent constitutional status as befitted a distinct society" (Benson, 1A).
His first piece of fiction, Newfoundland Tapestry (1943), written during his late teens and early twenties, exhibits a pride of Newfoundland. While written in an older verse style, crammed with personification, alliteration, and phrases no longer commonly recognizable, such as "foratlice" and "portcullis," Harrington's main backdrop is the power and call of the sea, which echoes throughout the multiple topics and themes in the collection. He has a commanding presence in evoking the geography of the island as immense, beyond ever being fully comprehended or explored by either people or animals.
Gaff Topsail1
I do not need the shrewd mind's eye to see
The glaciers gouging, carving this wild land,
Whose unrelated spirit, like a brand,
Stamps it with loneliness to Death's degree.
In fancy too I see the soft, young earth,
Writhing on taut volcanos' inner fires,
That fused or bent it to their own desires,
And left it grotesque from the planet's birth.
Now as the trainmen scourge the snorting beast,
With driving spurs of pressure-sharpened steam,
And hurl it twisting to the age-scarred height,
I know this land is not among the least;
It is a vestige of Creation's dream,
That still confounds the doubtful erudite.
His style ranges from very straightforward and accessible poetry, to poems that are more complicated in meaning, but he is undoubtedly proud of the island and the people:
Excerpt from "Newfoundland Tapestry"
A fisher-race, hard-born, hard-reared, hard-dying most;
Our greeting's not a glib and unctuous speech;
Let our land speak for us and out pine-dark,
Jealous sea, and our fog-laced maiden ships;
"A Health to you, Strangers," this warm toast we drink,
In the fresh, clean wine of our hopes and our children's hopes.
His other notable collection, The Modern Magi (1985), a title reflecting the flight of the Apollo 8's crew and their journey beyond the earth, "the one place in that void/where we do not boil or freeze," projects the ensuing sense of mystery regarding the cosmos and the self. The poems are emotional, ironic, sad, wistful, bitter and cynical, ending humorously with two pieces devoted to the frustrated gardener. Here, Harrington satirizes Joyce Kilmer and William Wordsworth's reflections on the beauty of nature. Instead of Wordsworth's splendid imagery of fluttering daffodils, Harrington provides a unique Newfoundland perspective to the dandelion, a flower that causes sweat and hardship, rather than the repose and splendour of daffodils:
Excerpt from "The Dandelions"
As thick as caplin that bestow
The scruffy beaches of the Spring,
They thronged the ditches, blocked the lanes,
And choked the new seed in the ling;
Ten million saw I in one look,
Twisting like sea worms by the brook.
But when I lie upon my couch,
From hours of digging, snipping toil,
From my back and muscles crying "Ouch"!
From tussles with the dried-out soil,
I wonder why, in her designs,
Nature gave us the dandelions.
Community Involvement and Recognition
He was a founding member of the Canadian Authors' Association, Newfoundland Branch, a fervent advocate of heritage conservation, and officer and life member of the Newfoundland Historical Society. He was also member of the Newfoundland Public Libraries Board, the 1952 Visiting Lecturer in English literature at Memorial University, member of the Board of Regents, Memorial University of Newfoundland and in 1982 a Visiting Fellow in Newfoundland Studies in the Department of History. By 1985, he was an associate of the Maritime Studies Research Unit and later received an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree from Memorial University.
Harrington's recognition includes the New Communication Award from Heritage Canada (1979), an award from the Newfoundland Historical Society (1985), creation of Harrington Drive in his honour by the City of St. John's (1988), the Order of Canada (1993) and the establishment of the Michael Harrington Research Prize in Newfoundland History (1996).
Foreign Sailors at the (National) War Memorial
Queen's Beach, Water Street, 1950s.
I watched them through the window,
A trio of jackanapes, as they postured
And clambered like blue-serge monkeys
Over the plinth and the verdigris-mottled bronzes
Of the watchful and the slain,
To have their photos taken.
One, a bit more introspective than the others
Seemed diffident about dangling from the axe
Of the far-peering forester or from the arm
Of the work-sculptured fisherman,
Or from the telescope
Of the dutifully knee-bent naval reservist
Thrusting like a crane-boom from his thigh,
Or his matching regimental comrade's bayonet.
Nor did he strive to reach and touch the hem
Of Justice's wind-zippered robe,
And her still-guttering torch and
Unreflecting swordblade,
Shackled forever in downward motion….
But lolled about and hung aslant-wise,
Knees unhinged and arms akimbo.
So, after a period of ogling and sidling,
Unheeding even the admonitions
Of an apologetic sergeant of police,
They dropped cat-footed to the pavement's rim,
Snapped shut their expensive cameras,
And rock-and-rolled down dim and tortuous streets,
With pantaloons stretched
Across their buttocks,
Tight as the skin on skulls,
And, in their wake,
A dark, untutored arrogance abounding.

How to create Expectations
==========================

.. warning:: This doc has been partially migrated from old documentation. It's potentially helpful, but may be incomplete, incorrect, or confusing.

This tutorial covers the workflow of creating and editing expectations.

The tutorial assumes that you have created a new Data Context (project), as covered here: :ref:`tutorials__getting_started`.

Creating expectations is an opportunity to blend contextual knowledge from subject-matter experts and insights from
profiling and performing exploratory analysis on your dataset.

Once the initial setup of Great Expectations is complete, the workflow looks like a loop over the following steps:

1. Data team members capture and document their shared understanding of their data as expectations.
2. As new data arrives in the pipeline, Great Expectations evaluates it against these expectations.
3. If the observed properties of the data are found to be different from the expected ones, the team responds by rejecting (or fixing) the data, updating the expectations, or both.

Expectations are grouped into Expectations Suites. An Expectation Suite combines multiple expectations into an overall description of a dataset. For example, a team can group all the expectations about the ``rating`` table in the movie ratings database into an Expectation Suite and call it "movieratings.table.expectations".

Each Expectation Suite is saved as a JSON file in the ``great_expectations/expectations`` subdirectory of the Data Context. Users check these files into version control each time they are updated, in the same way they treat their source files.

The lifecycle of an Expectation Suite starts with creating it. Then it goes through a loop of Review and Edit as the team's understanding of the data described by the suite evolves.

We will describe the Create, Review and Edit steps in brief:

Create an Expectation Suite

Expectation Suites are saved as JSON files, so you *could* create a new suite by writing a file directly. However the preferred way is to let the CLI save you time and typos.  If you cannot use the :ref:`CLI <command_line>` in your environment (e.g., in a Databricks cluster), you can create and edit an Expectation Suite in a notebook. Jump to this section for details: :ref:`Jupyter Notebook for Creating and Editing Expectation Suites`.

To continue with the :ref:`CLI <command_line>`, run this command in the root directory of your project (where the init command created the ``great_expectations`` subdirectory:

.. code-block:: bash

    great_expectations suite new

This command prompts you to name your new Expectation Suite and to select a sample batch of the dataset the suite will describe. Then it profiles the selected sample and adds some initial expectations to the suite. The purpose of these expectations is to provide examples of what properties of data can be described using Great Expectations. They are only a starting point that the user builds on.

The command concludes by saving the newly generated Expectation Suite as a JSON file and rendering the expectation suite into an HTML page in the Data Docs website of the Data Context.

Review an Expectation Suite
---------------------------

:ref:`Data Docs<data_docs>` is a feature of Great Expectations that creates data documentation by compiling expectations and validation results into HTML.

Data Docs produces a visual data quality report of what you expect from your data, and how the observed properties of your data differ from your expectations.
It helps to keep your entire team on the same page as data evolves.

Reviewing expectations is best done in Data Docs:

Edit an Expectation Suite
-------------------------

The best interface for editing an Expectation Suite is a Jupyter notebook.

Editing an Expectation Suite means adding expectations, removing expectations, and modifying the arguments of existing expectations.

For every expectation type there is a Python method that sets its arguments, evaluates this expectation against a sample batch of data and adds it to the Expectation Suite.

Take a look at the screenshot below. It shows the HTML view and the Python method for the same expectation (``expect_column_distinct_values_to_be_in_set``) side by side:

.. image:: ../images/exp_html_python_side_by_side .png

The :ref:`CLI <command_line>` provides a command that, given an Expectation Suite, generates a Jupyter notebook to edit it. It takes care of generating a cell for every expectation in the suite and of getting a sample batch of data. The HTML page for each Expectation Suite has the CLI command syntax in order to make it easier for users.

.. image:: ../images/edit_e_s_popup.png

The generated Jupyter notebook can be discarded, since it is auto-generated.

To understand this auto-generated notebook in more depth, jump to this section: :ref:`Jupyter Notebook for Creating and Editing Expectation Suites`.

Jupyter Notebook for Creating and Editing Expectation Suites
------------------------------------------------------------

If you used the :ref:`CLI <command_line>` `suite new` command to create an Expectation Suite and then the `suite edit` command to edit it, then the CLI generated a notebook in the ``great_expectations/uncommitted/`` folder for you. There is no need to check this notebook in to version control. Next time you decide to
edit this Expectation Suite, use the :ref:`CLI <command_line>` again to generate a new notebook that reflects the expectations in the suite at that time.

If you do not use the :ref:`CLI <command_line>`, create a new notebook in the``great_expectations/notebooks/`` folder in your project.

1. Setup
********************************************

.. code-block:: python

    from datetime import datetime
    import great_expectations as ge
    import great_expectations.jupyter_ux
    from great_expectations.data_context.types.resource_identifiers import ValidationResultIdentifier

    # Data Context is a GE object that represents your project.
    # Your project's great_expectations.yml contains all the config
    # options for the project's GE Data Context.
    context = ge.data_context.DataContext()

    # Create a new empty Expectation Suite
    # and give it a name
    expectation_suite_name = "ratings.table.warning" # this is just an example
    context.create_expectation_suite(
    expectation_suite_name)

If an expectation suite with this name already exists for this data_asset, you will get an error. If you would like to overwrite this expectation suite, set ``overwrite_existing=True``.

2. Load a batch of data to create Expectations
**********************************************

Select a sample batch of the dataset the suite will describe.

``batch_kwargs`` provide detailed instructions for the Datasource on how to construct a batch. Each Datasource accepts different types of ``batch_kwargs`` - regardless of Datasource type, a Datasource name must always be provided:

.. content-tabs::

    .. tab-container:: tab0
        :title: pandas

        A pandas datasource can accept ``batch_kwargs`` that describe either a path to a file or an existing DataFrame. For example, if the data asset is a collection of CSV files in a folder that are processed with Pandas, then a batch could be one of these files. Here is how to construct ``batch_kwargs`` that specify a particular file to load:

        .. code-block:: python

            batch_kwargs = {
                'path': "PATH_OF_THE_FILE_YOU_WANT_TO_LOAD",
                'datasource': "DATASOURCE_NAME"
            }

        To instruct ``get_batch`` to read CSV files with specific options (e.g., not to interpret the first line as the
        header or to use a specific separator), add them to the ``batch_kwargs`` under the "reader_options" key.

        See the complete list of options for `Pandas read_csv <https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/reference/api/pandas.read_csv.html>`__.

        ``batch_kwargs`` might look like the following:

        .. code-block:: json

            {
                "path": "/data/npidata/npidata_pfile_20190902-20190908.csv",
                "datasource": "files_datasource",
                "reader_options": {
                    "sep": "|"
                }
            }

        If you already loaded the data into a Pandas DataFrame called `df`, you could use following ``batch_kwargs`` to instruct the datasource to use your DataFrame as a batch:

        .. code-block:: python

            batch_kwargs = {
                'dataset': df,
                'datasource': 'files_datasource'
            }

    .. tab-container:: tab1
        :title: pyspark

        A pyspark datasource can accept ``batch_kwargs`` that describe either a path to a file or an existing DataFrame. For example, if the data asset is a collection of CSV files in a folder that are processed with Pandas, then a batch could be one of these files. Here is how to construct ``batch_kwargs`` that specify a particular file to load:

        .. code-block:: python

            batch_kwargs = {
                'path': "PATH_OF_THE_FILE_YOU_WANT_TO_LOAD",
                'datasource': "DATASOURCE_NAME"
            }

        To instruct ``get_batch`` to read CSV files with specific options (e.g., not to interpret the first line as the
        header or to use a specific separator), add them to the ``batch_kwargs`` under the "reader_options" key.

        See the complete list of options for `Spark DataFrameReader <https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/api/python/pyspark.sql.html#pyspark.sql.DataFrameReader>`__

    .. tab-container:: tab2
        :title: SQLAlchemy

        A SQLAlchemy datasource can accept ``batch_kwargs`` that instruct it load a batch from a table, a view, or a result set of a query:

        If you would like to validate an entire table (or a view) in your database's default schema:

        .. code-block:: python

            batch_kwargs = {
                'table': "YOUR TABLE NAME",
                'datasource': "DATASOURCE_NAME"
            }

        If you would like to validate an entire table or view from a non-default schema in your database:

        .. code-block:: python

            batch_kwargs = {
                'table': "YOUR TABLE NAME",
                'schema': "YOUR SCHEMA",
                'datasource': "DATASOURCE_NAME"
            }

        If you would like to validate using a query to construct a temporary table:

        .. code-block:: python

            batch_kwargs = {
                'query': 'SELECT YOUR_ROWS FROM YOUR_TABLE',
                'datasource': "DATASOURCE_NAME"
            }

The DataContext's ``get_batch`` method is used to load a batch of a data asset:

.. code-block:: python

    batch = context.get_batch(batch_kwargs, expectation_suite_name)
    batch.head()

Calling this method asks the Context to get a batch of data and attach the expectation suite ``expectation_suite_name`` to it. The ``batch_kwargs`` argument specifies which batch of the data asset should be loaded.

3. Author Expectations
********************************************

Now that you have a batch of data, you can call ``expect`` methods on the data asset in order to check
whether this expectation is true for this batch of data.

For example, to check whether it is reasonable to expect values in the column "NPI" to never be empty, call:
``batch.expect_column_values_to_not_be_null('NPI')``

Some expectations can be created from your domain expertise; for example we might expect that most entries in the NPI
database use the title "Dr." instead of "Ms.", or we might expect that every row should use a unique value in the 'NPI'
column.

Here is how we can add an expectation that expresses that knowledge:

.. image:: ../images/expect_column_values_to_be_unique_success.png

Other expectations can be created by examining the data in the batch. For example, suppose you want to protect a pipeline
against improper values in the "Provider Other Organization Name Type Code" column. Even if you don't know exactly what the
"improper" values are, you can explore the data by trying some values to check if the data in the batch meets your expectation:

.. image:: ../images/expect_column_values_to_be_in_set_failure.png

Validating the expectation against the batch resulted in failure - there are some values in the column that do not meet
the expectation. The "partial_unexpected_list" key in the result dictionary contains examples of non-conforming values.
Examining these examples shows that some titles are not in the expected set. Adjust the ``value_set`` and rerun
the expectation method:

.. image:: ../images/expect_column_values_to_be_in_set_success.png

This time validation was successful - all values in the column meet the expectation.

Although you called ``expect_column_values_to_be_in_set`` twice (with different argument values), only one
expectation of type ``expect_column_values_to_be_in_set`` will be created for the column - the latest call
overrides all the earlier ones. By default, only expectations that were true on their last run are saved.

How do I know which types of expectations I can add?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

* *Tab-complete* the partially typed ``expect_`` method name to see available expectations.
* In Jupyter, you can also use *shift-tab* to see the docstring for each expectation, including the parameters it
  takes and to get more information about the expectation.
* Visit the :ref:`expectation_glossary` for a complete
  list of expectations that are currently part of the great expectations vocabulary. Here is a short preview of the glossary:

4. Finalize
********************************************

Data Docs compiles Expectations and Validations into HTML documentation. By default the HTML website is hosted on your local filesystem. When you are working in a team, the website can be hosted in the cloud (e.g., on S3) and serve as the shared source of truth for the team working on the data pipeline.

To view the expectation suite you just created as HTML, rebuild the data docs and open the website in the browser:

.. code-block:: python

    # save the Expectation Suite (by default to a JSON file in great_expectations/expectations folder
    batch.save_expectation_suite(discard_failed_expectations=False)

    # This step is optional, but useful - evaluate the expectations against the current batch of data
    run_id = {
      "run_name": "some_string_that_uniquely_identifies_this_run",
      "run_time": datetime.now(datetime.timezone.utc)
    }
    results = context.run_validation_operator("action_list_operator", assets_to_validate=[batch], run_id=run_id)
    expectation_suite_identifier = list(results["details"].keys())[0]
    validation_result_identifier = ValidationResultIdentifier(
        expectation_suite_identifier=expectation_suite_identifier,
        batch_identifier=batch.batch_kwargs.to_id(),
        run_id=run_id
    )

    # Update the Data Docs site to display the new Expectation Suite
    # and open the site in the browser
    context.build_data_docs()
    context.open_data_docs(validation_result_identifier)

E. Leitz New York Leica Gun RIFLE
Year: c.1938
Estimate: € 200.000 - 250.000
Starting price: € 100.000
Hammer price: € 168.000
Leitz Auction*
incl. premium
'RIFLE'
One of the rarest and most unusual Leica accessories in excellent, original condition. The Lot consists of the special viewfinder engraved with serial number 117 (see Lager VOL.III for no.116) and 'E.LEITZ INC. NEW-YORK', a modified PLOOT mirror housing no.2972, modified Leica IIIa no.230908 (1937), Telyt 4.5/20cm no.472827 (focusing scale in feet, with hood and cap) and an extremely rare carrying case RIFUN.
The company E. Leitz, Inc. New York launched the Leica Gun Rifle in 1938 using the codeword "Rifle"; it was only produced for one year (1938 to 1939). The "Rifle" was inspired by Commander Attilio Gatti, the well-known wildlife photographer in Africa and was developed between 1935 and 1937 by E. Leitz, Inc. New York, before being introduced to the public in July 1938. Various authors differ in their estimates about the actual numbers of "Rifles" produced: while P. H. Hasbroeck assumes that only six units were produced, J. L. Lager concludes that a dozen were made overall. We consider a number of 12-14 'Rifles', spread out today over collections worldwide, to be appropriate and realistic.


After losing a loved one, we often look back on fond memories and mementos to heal our sadness.
