spaceraystott are collaborating with an exciting Photographer, Elizabeth Presland on a unique space project and are looking for your video replies to space questions to be shown in 2 exhibitions in London in both May and June this year.
Send us your video answers on the future of space!
Send us your video answers to these space questions facing mankind as we expand into space and explore the Universe.
When filming please read out the question and leave a 3 second gap before answering.
1. In your opinion, who are 3 of the most influential people/institutions that are making space exploration socially and ethically responsible?
2. Is there talk in your field about making a more efficient collective, than any currently established, that monitors outer space exploration so that no country/individual is at a disadvantage?
3a. If so, could you list your 3 main concerns?
3b. Of these concerns, are there any solutions you can suggest?
4. Do you have concerns about space becoming only accessible to a minority of the population?
4a. If so could you state why?
4b. Of these concerns are there any solutions you can suggest?
5. In your opinion, what are 3 benefits for humanity in outer space exploration?
6. In your opinion, what are 3 benefits for the ecological state of the Earth in outer space exploration?
7. Do you have any suggested reading in response to your answers?
8. It is the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 8 Moon landings and the distribution of the iconic image above. What image would you choose as the most iconic image to arise out of outer space exploration?
The aim is to engage with the general public about discussions on outer space and a selection of your video answers will be included in 2 exhibitions showcasing in London in May and June this year. In addition, a book is in the works called "Ways of Seeing Outer Space" in cooperation with The Space Aperture Institute (S.A.I.).
Elizabeth is working on a final project for her photography University degree at London South Bank University. Her project is about exploring the current state of outer space exploration.
She needs to get information from different experts in the space arena. We would like you to participate and you could be a part of her research and exhibition so that we can obtain a wide knowledge of current policy and politics in outer space.
It would require that you film yourself reading out the questions shown above and answering them in a video. The video can be filmed on anything, for example, a mobile phone. It is just very important that the sound quality is good. You can also send us a text version of your answers for possible inclusion in the upcoming book.
This video will then become a part of Elizabeth's final exhibition work.
You will be credited in the exhibition if your video is selected and your expertise will be seen by everyone that passes through the exhibition.
If you are available to do this we would need your video recording by the 18th May 2018.
To date, no more than 550 humans have entered space, yet most of the world's population can confidently describe Mars. This marks a standpoint in photography's history as the universe has been created through the cameras black hole.
The Space Aperture Institute (S.A.I.) addresses topics regarding outer space which are in need of public attention. Space is currently a niche area of research and critique, yet space is the place that humanity is now expanding into and currently only a handful of the global population are creating that future.
While we are giddy with oversaturated images of space, talk of space tourism and the prospect of colonizing mars, corporations are situating themselves in a very powerful place with technology, investment and self-appointed authority to have a monopoly over not only who can go to space but to the resources that will imminently be mined from space.
The first publication from the S.A.I., Ways of Seeing Outer Space, has gathered information from the realms of complex academia and condensed it so that the public can have access to these pressing matters. A more comprehensive distribution of these topics is intended to encourage the production of new narratives that can generate a co collective, open-sourced future for space.


The Institute has a growing number of international partnerships that reflect both an interest to develop strategic partnerships in affordable healthcare technology research, and for when an overseas collaboration is established to advance our research agenda.
The Biomedical Signal Processing Group collaborates with the Harvard-MIT Division of Health Sciences and Technology in the area of Intensive Care Unit data analysis, which has resulted in several joint papers and research student exchanges. There are also collaborations with the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratories in the area of m-Health.
The IBME collaborates with the George Institute for Global Health in mHealth interventions. This includes a randomised control trial in cardiovascular disease risk reduction in Southern India, and trials of a low cost blood pressure monitor in rural China. The IBME and George Institute have also set up the Oxford Biodesign Programme.
A Memorandum of Understanding was signed with the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India in 2011, which has subsequently led to a number of exchange visits, and a workshop held in Oxford. The IBME and IISc Bangalore are now working together on a Wellcome Trust Affordable Healthcare Technologies for India project entitled PURAK which is developing a low-cost prosthetic upper limb.
A Memorandum of Understanding was signed with the Translational Health Science and Technology Institute (THSTI), Gurgaon (near New Delhi), India, in 2013, to investigate areas of mutual interest in biomedical engineering, with a particular focus on perinatal care. This has led to a number of exchange visits and invitation for Oxford researchers to attend a workshop in India in 2015.
The Biomedical Image Analysis Laboratory collaborates with researchers based in KEMRI, Africa on fetal ultrasound image analysis as a result of being involved in the Gates Foundation funded Intergrowth21st project.
The Computational Health Informatics (CHI) lab works with governmental collaborators in Bangladesh, Ethiopia, and Kenya, and with UNICEF in Denmark, as part of its "water- and health-related risks" portfolio of work, funded by the Department for International Development, the Natural Environment Research Council, and UNICEF. This range of collaborative programmes uses machine learning for risk forecasting in developing-world situations.
CHI lab works with the Centres for Disease Control (CDCs) from the USA, India, China, and South Africa to understand the genetic causes of antibiotic resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, in which machine learning methods are used to fuse genotype and phenotype data, with the aim of replacing manual lab-based testing of bacterial cultures with same-day genetic sequencing. This work is led by Public Health England, and is funded by the UK National Institute of Health Research and the Gates Foundation.
The Tissue Engineering group has entered into a long-term partnership with China Regenerative Medicine International (CRMI) creating the CRMI Technology Centre at the University of Oxford. The aim of the new centre is to develop technologies that will facilitate cell therapies and regenerative medicine, thereby providing solutions to specific diseases such as diabetes and cancer.

Q: SqlBulkCopy with ObjectReader - Failed to convert parameter value from a String to a Int32 I am using SqlBulkCopy (.NET) with ObjectReader (FastMember) to perform an import from XML based file. I have added the proper column mappings.
At certain instances I get an error: Failed to convert parameter value from a String to a Int32.
I'd like to understand how to
1. Trace the actual table column which has failed
2. Get the "current" on the ObjectReader
sample code:
     using (ObjectReader reader = genericReader.GetReader())
                {
                    try
                    {
                        sbc.WriteToServer(reader); //sbc is SqlBulkCopy instance
                        transaction.Commit();
                    }
                    catch (Exception ex)
                    {
                        transaction.Rollback();
                    }
                }

Does the "ex" carry more information then just the error:
System.InvalidOperationException : The given value of type String from the data source cannot be converted to type int of the specified target column.

A: Simple Answer
The simple answer is no. One of the reasons .NET's SqlBulkCopy is so fast is that it does not log anything it does.  You can't directly get any additional information from the .NET's SqlBulkCopy exception. However, that said David Catriel has wrote an article about this and has delivered a possible solution you can read fully about here.
Even though this method may provide the answer you are looking for I suggest only using the helper method when debugging as this quite possibly could have some performance impact if ran consistently within your code.
Why Use A Work Around

The lack of logging definitely speeds things up, but when you are
  pumping hundreds of thousands of rows and suddenly have a failure on
  one of them because of a constraint, you're stuck. All the
  SqlException will tell you is that something went wrong with a given
  constraint (you'll get the constraint's name at least), but that's
  about it. You're then stuck having to go back to your source, run
  separate SELECT statements on it (or do manual searches), and find the
  culprit rows on your own.
On top of that, it can be a very long and iterative process if you've
  got data with several potential failures in it because SqlBulkCopy
  will stop as soon as the first failure is hit. Once you correct that
  one, you need to rerun the load to find the second error, etc.

advantages:

*

*Reports all possible errors that the SqlBulkCopy would encounter

*Reports all culprit data rows, along with the exception that row would be causing

*The entire thing is run in a transaction that is rolled back at the end, so no changes are committed.
disadvantages:

*

*For extremely large amounts of data it might take a couple of minutes.

*This solution is reactive; i.e. the errors are not returned as part of the exception raised by your SqlBulkCopy.WriteToServer() process. Instead, this helper method is executed after the exception is raised to try and capture all possible errors along with their related data. This means that in case of an exception, your process will take longer to run than just running the bulk copy.

*You cannot reuse the same DataReader object from the failed SqlBulkCopy, as readers are forward only fire hoses that cannot be reset. You'll need to create a new reader of the same type (e.g. re-issue the original SqlCommand, recreate the reader based on the same DataTable, etc).
Using the GetBulkCopyFailedData Method
private void TestMethod()
{
   // new code
   SqlConnection connection = null;
   SqlBulkCopy bulkCopy = null;

   DataTable dataTable = new DataTable();
   // load some sample data into the DataTable
   IDataReader reader = dataTable.CreateDataReader();

   try
   {
      connection = new SqlConnection("connection string goes here ...");
      connection.Open();
      bulkCopy = new SqlBulkCopy(connection);
      bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = "Destination table name";
      bulkCopy.WriteToServer(reader);
   }
   catch (Exception exception)
   {
      // loop through all inner exceptions to see if any relate to a constraint failure
      bool dataExceptionFound = false;
      Exception tmpException = exception;
      while (tmpException != null)
      {
         if (tmpException is SqlException
            && tmpException.Message.Contains("constraint"))
         {
            dataExceptionFound = true;
            break;
         }
         tmpException = tmpException.InnerException;
      }

      if (dataExceptionFound)
      {
         // call the helper method to document the errors and invalid data
         string errorMessage = GetBulkCopyFailedData(
            connection.ConnectionString,
            bulkCopy.DestinationTableName,
            dataTable.CreateDataReader());
         throw new Exception(errorMessage, exception);
      }
   }
   finally
   {
      if (connection != null && connection.State == ConnectionState.Open)
      {
         connection.Close();
      }
   }
}

GetBulkCopyFailedData() then opens a new connection to the database,
  creates a transaction, and begins bulk copying the data one row at a
  time. It does so by reading through the supplied DataReader and
  copying each row into an empty DataTable. The DataTable is then bulk
  copied into the destination database, and any exceptions resulting
  from this are caught, documented (along with the DataRow that caused
  it), and the cycle then repeats itself with the next row. At the end
  of the DataReader we rollback the transaction and return the complete
  error message. Fixing the problems in the data source should now be a
  breeze.

The GetBulkCopyFailedData Method
/// <summary>
/// Build an error message with the failed records and their related exceptions.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="connectionString">Connection string to the destination database</param>
/// <param name="tableName">Table name into which the data will be bulk copied.</param>
/// <param name="dataReader">DataReader to bulk copy</param>
/// <returns>Error message with failed constraints and invalid data rows.</returns>
public static string GetBulkCopyFailedData(
   string connectionString,
   string tableName,
   IDataReader dataReader)
{
   StringBuilder errorMessage = new StringBuilder("Bulk copy failures:" + Environment.NewLine);
   SqlConnection connection = null;
   SqlTransaction transaction = null;
   SqlBulkCopy bulkCopy = null;
   DataTable tmpDataTable = new DataTable();

   try
   {
      connection = new SqlConnection(connectionString);
      connection.Open();
      transaction = connection.BeginTransaction();
      bulkCopy = new SqlBulkCopy(connection, SqlBulkCopyOptions.CheckConstraints, transaction);
      bulkCopy.DestinationTableName = tableName;

      // create a datatable with the layout of the data.
      DataTable dataSchema = dataReader.GetSchemaTable();
      foreach (DataRow row in dataSchema.Rows)
      {
         tmpDataTable.Columns.Add(new DataColumn(
            row["ColumnName"].ToString(),
            (Type)row["DataType"]));
      }

      // create an object array to hold the data being transferred into tmpDataTable
      //in the loop below.
      object[] values = new object[dataReader.FieldCount];

      // loop through the source data
      while (dataReader.Read())
      {
         // clear the temp DataTable from which the single-record bulk copy will be done
         tmpDataTable.Rows.Clear();

         // get the data for the current source row
         dataReader.GetValues(values);

         // load the values into the temp DataTable
         tmpDataTable.LoadDataRow(values, true);

         // perform the bulk copy of the one row
         try
         {
            bulkCopy.WriteToServer(tmpDataTable);
         }
         catch (Exception ex)
         {
            // an exception was raised with the bulk copy of the current row.
            // The row that caused the current exception is the only one in the temp
            // DataTable, so document it and add it to the error message.
            DataRow faultyDataRow = tmpDataTable.Rows[0];
            errorMessage.AppendFormat("Error: {0}{1}", ex.Message, Environment.NewLine);
            errorMessage.AppendFormat("Row data: {0}", Environment.NewLine);
            foreach (DataColumn column in tmpDataTable.Columns)
            {

The impact of your loan
Give your money meaning with PlusPlus
A well-filled bank account is great, but the potential of that money is even greater. If you lend money via PlusPlus, you choose to give your money meaning. Your investment has an impact on people on the other side of the world. Thank you, gracias and terima kasih!
What does PlusPlus want to achieve?
Companies in the agriculture and food sector make a real difference in Asia, Africa and Latin America. They help to fight against poverty and prevent food shortages in many countries. In an ideal world you would expect banks to be lining up to support these important companies with the financing they need to grow. Unfortunately that is not the case.
Despite their importance, these companies are also risky investments. A harvest can fail. It can be difficult to transport and store products that spoil quickly. Due to the climate crisis this is increasingly common. Inadequate infrastructure also causes bumps in the road.
PlusPlus believes it is important to support entrepreneurs who take these risks. That is why we gather a crowd of investors who understand the importance of jobs and food security, especially in developing countries. We often support entrepreneurs not only financially, but also with training and advice. This is how we can help them to achieve sustainable growth.
More and more and more impact
If you invest in one of our entrepreneurs in the agriculture and food sector, you actually support a lot of people. Because when a company thrives, so can the community in which it operates. For example:
You provide a loan to Grace's business.
Grace hires farmers Martin and David as additional suppliers.
Healthy food will become available on the local market.
Martin and David receive a higher and more stable income.
Martin and David's families have more to spend.
An added bonus: Grace now has the means to invest in new techniques. Think of a biodigester. Her company is suddenly a lot more environmentally friendly.
No hunger, but food production and economic growth
The United Nations has drawn up 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to reduce poverty and inequality worldwide. Each of these SDGs addresses a specific problem. All goals must be achieved by 2030. At PlusPlus we will do our utmost to help the world achieve these goals.
We actively contribute to these goals:
In addition, our work also positively contributes to the following goals:
By the end of 2021 we want to celebrate these successes with you:
At least 30 agricultural entrepreneurs in six countries provided with affordable access to finance.
EUR 3 million in loans sourced from our crowd.
3,500 new jobs created.
20,000 farmers provided with a higher and more stable income.
PlusPlus has not been around for very long. That is why you will not find dizzying figures yet on the entrepreneurs, farmers and families who have benefitted from your investment.

Brieg Guerveno est un auteur-compositeur-interprète et guitariste français né à Saint-Brieuc en 1982. Originaire de Bretagne et brittophone, il a comme particularité d'associer la langue bretonne à la musique rock, metal, folk ou progressive.

Biographie

Débuts musicaux et professionnels
À l'écoute du rock, Brieg Guerveno apprend à jouer de la guitare électrique en autodidacte. Vivant à Saint-Brieuc, le contact proche avec la musique traditionnelle suscite son intérêt, au point qu'il se passionne pour le chant et la musique bretonne, rejoignant le bagad Pañvrid (Côtes-d'Armor) pour y suivre des cours de caisse-claire dès l'âge de 8 ans.Brieg Guerveno se produit dans des groupes de métal dès l'âge de 14 ans, dans des projets où les musiciens sont plus âgés que lui comme pour le groupe Éclipses. En 1997, il fonde le groupe de black metal Operarcanes, avec notamment Xavier Soulabail et Joachim Blanchet, deux amis musiciens qui l'accompagnent en trio à partir de 2012. Durant cette aventure, qui dure jusqu'en 2003, il écrit des chansons de révolte et poétiques en s'appuyant sur des légendes (Mari-Vorgan), le tout en breton, étant issu d'une famille bretonnante.

Lorsqu'il monte son projet sous son nom en solo, Brieg Guerveno continue de s'exprimer en breton, une langue qu'il a apprise lors de sa scolarité à l'école et au collège Diwan à Brest, puis seul à partir de 17 ans. Il plonge alors dans le folk rock et compose en 2006 une première maquette intitulée  ("serein") en compagnie de trois musiciens Rennais. Diffusé sur Myspace, cet EP est salué par Alan Stivell et Dom Duff, qui eux-mêmes associent la langue bretonne au rock. En remportant le prix de la création en langue bretonne au tremplin , Brieg Guerveno gagne le droit d'aller représenter la Bretagne au concours de musiques actuelles en langue celtique du  2007 à Donegal en Irlande où il terminera . Pendant cinq ans le groupe se produit essentiellement en Bretagne : dans les salles et café-concert de Rennes, à Brest 2008, la Gallésie en fête, les Filets bleus, le chant de marin de Paimpol... En 2011, Brieg Guerveno produit son premier album  (« des nuits, des jours »), qui se retrouve être une compilation de ses chansons écrites pendant ces premières années.

Du trio au quatuor rock progressif

Début 2012, le chanteur décide de se consacrer entièrement à son projet musical et souhaite prendre une direction plus rock. Il choisit le format trio et s'entoure de ses amis Xavier Soulabail et Joachim Blanchet. Ils enregistrent un EP,  (« les fleurs de la destruction »), élu « meilleur disque en breton de l'année 2012 » lors des  2013 décerné par la Région Bretagne et France 3. La tournée qui s'ensuit se prolonge au-delà de la Bretagne, notamment dans des festivals en France, au pays basque ou à Londres fin 2013.

En avril 2014 sort l'album  (« le monde clos »), tourné vers le rock largement inspiré par les musiques progressives des années 1970, en faisant place à des arrangements de cordes, d'instruments traditionnels et de chœurs. Plusieurs artistes bretons participent aux morceaux : Yann Le Corre (accordéoniste de Karma, Confidences sonores, N'diaz), Yoann An Nedeleg (ueillann pipe de Gwennyn, Carré Manchot), Étienne Tabourier (violoniste), Bahia el Bacha (violoncelliste). En mars 2014, le groupe travaille en résidence avec Jean Pierre Riou, chanteur de Red Cardell, pour préparer la tournée. Le disque est salué par la critique spécialisée et le trio effectue plus d'une cinquantaine de dates qui les mèneront à Londres jusqu'au Japon (fête de la Bretagne à Osaka). En 2015 l'album est récompensé par le prix musical Produit en Bretagne et le groupe se produit en ouverture du festival Interceltique de Lorient ainsi qu'au festival des Vieilles Charrues et au festival Yaouank.

Le 5 novembre 2016, il sort son troisième album  (« rêverie »), plus sombre et plus rock que les précédents. Le guitariste Éric Cervera rejoint le groupe qui devient quatuor. Bernez Tangi a écrit le texte d' ("mélancolie"). Il reçoit le deuxième prix du meilleur disque en langue bretonne de l'année 2016 aux Prizioù 2017. Lors de la première date de la tournée, Brieg Guerveno invite le groupe Klone à partager l'affiche avec lui, qui l'invite à son tour sur plusieurs dates acoustiques. Il se rend en Italie fin 2016 (tremplin international Suns Europe) et l'été 2017 il est programmé au festival de Bobital.

Début 2018, il participe au chant et à la guitare à l'album Avel Azul du « Nolwenn Korbell's band », le nouveau groupe de la chanteuse bretonne dirigé par Frank Darcel. Il se produit à ses côtés lors de quelques concerts et festivals (Interceltique...).

Songwriter néo-folk
Après deux ans de travail autour d'un projet acoustique sous forme d'introspection, son quatrième album personnel voit le jour en janvier 2020. 'Vel ma vin ("Comme je serai") est folk et plus intimiste, sur une base de guitares (Guillaume Bernard, Stéphane Kerihuel), violoncelle et claviers. Yann Ligner, chanteur de Klone, participe à An Treizh ("le passage" au sujet des migrations) et Nolwenn Korbell participe à deux duos : l'un co-écrit avec la chanteuse douarneniste Tra ma vo ("Tant que") et Ur wech adarre ("Encore une fois"). Un autre texte est signé de la poétesse bretonnante Anjela Duval, Em digenvez ("Dans ma solitude"). Il séduit les professionnels en obtenant plusieurs prix (Produit en Bretagne, Prizioù de la région), les critiques comme Télérama, Rolling Stone, French Metal, Hard Force et le public, permettant une réédition de l'album le 15 octobre 2021 par Yotanka distribué par Pias. Pour la compilation des Transmusicales 2020, à la demande du directeur Jean-Louis Brossard, Brieg Guerveno enregistre spécialement au studio Ty an park une nouvelle version de son titre Ar Spilhenn, qui figure en bonus de la réédition de 'vel ma vin.

La chanteuse Loeiza Beauvrir l'accompagne aux chœurs sur scène, ainsi que les violoncellistes Bahia el Bacha et Juliette Divry, Camille Goellaen à l'orgue et aux claviers, Stéphane Kerihuel à la guitare électrique. À cause de la crise sanitaire, des dates de sa tournée 2020 sont reportées en 2021 : en juillet, son concert au festival des Vieilles Charrues, finalement programmé sur la grande scène avant Stephan Eicher et Catherine Ringer, est retransmis en direct sur Europe 1, presque 50 ans après celui d'Alan Stivell à l'Olympia, au cours duquel il offre une tribune sur scène au président des écoles Diwan pour défendre l'enseignement par immersion dont il en est lui-même issu.

Coup de cœur de Jean-Louis Brossard, il le programme deux soirs de suite aux Trans Musicales de Rennes, festival qui ne peut avoir lieu en décembre 2020, transformé en un live version numérique diffusé par France Télévisions sur Culturebox. Après avoir fait partie de la « Tournée des Trans' » dans des salles de musiques actuelles, il est reprogrammé les 1er et 2 décembre 2021 au TNB aux côtés d'Andrea Laszlo de Simone. Ce spectacle qui a été enregistré sort en octobre 2022 sous forme d'un album live, le premier de l'artiste et le premier réalisé lors des Trans Musicales.

Style musical
Dans son premier groupe, Brieg Guerveno se sentait mal à l'aise à écrire et chanter en anglais. En écrivant et chantant des textes en breton, sa langue de cœur, Brieg Guerveno s'inscrit dans la longue tradition de la chanson bretonne. Il a notamment adapté à la manière de Mötorhead la chanson Emgann Kergidu de Bernez Tangi, chanteur de Storlok, premier groupe de rock en breton. Certaines de ses compositions sombres ou mélancoliques se rapprochent de la , un style de chant breton populaire et poétique. Les paroles explorent la part sombre des sentiments humains avec des thématiques fortes comme les obsessions, les angoisses, les tragédies, l'isolement, la mélancolie.

Sa musique a évolué à la fois à travers le rock, metal, folk et progressif. Il a été influencé par les groupes metal des années 1990 lorsqu'il démarre la musique (Porcupine Tree, Katatonia, Ulver, Opeth, Arcturus, Enslaved, Emperor). Parallèlement au black metal, il a été séduit par la scène doom britannique (Anathema, My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost) et par le rock progressif (Zappa, Wilson, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Magma, Alan Stivell). L'atmosphère des morceaux est souvent sombre et psychédélique, en lien avec les textes. L'émotion et la mélancolie assumées de ses chansons font de son chant breton une matière personnelle et contemporaine, .
Brieg Guerveno chante d'une voix de tête, tantôt gémissante, tantôt rageuse, toujours poignante pour restituer la mélancolie qui l'habite. Il démontre, une fois de plus, que le breton, avec ses accents tonique et son rythme, se révèle plus adapté que le français pour le rock. La musique oscille entre montées sonores extatiques et passages apaisants, volutes mélodiques et vastes respirations.

Lock in a great price for Villa Maria Tayrona, a Kali Hotels – rated 9 by recent guests!
Well spaced-out accommodation with well planted/laid-out paths to the beach suited us well as we like interesting walks at an accommodation. Room was large with a balcony and a nice view across the forest. Breakfast was very good with several choices and dinners also good quality and (too) plentiful.
You are surrounded by nature, very near Tayrona, and attended by very friendly staff. The room we stayed in was big and clean. The bathroom was also large and we never had problems with the water. The hotel itself is a 5-minute drive from Tayrona and the hotel offers a free shuttle to and from the park. The staff was also very personable and helped us whenever we needed it.
We went there right after Ciudad Perdida to relax and it was a very good choice. It s not cheap but you get what you pay for. Amazing staff, very beautiful rooms into the nature, clean and comfortable. Breakfast and restaurant also very good!
The view from the balcony was amazing and loved feeling like we were in a tree house. The walkway to the beach is lovely with so many fruit trees growing and tons of wild life!
The property is in a beautiful set location. It is a bit of a hike down to the beach but the walk is through beautiful tropical gardens. The room is nice and comfortable and the pool is great as well! The best part of the stay is the staff - they were wonderful!
The location. It is breathtakingly beautiful. The peacefulness. The pool area!
Would stay here again just for the breakfasts with fresh juices! The restaurant on property was really great, everything we had for dinner was great too. Lots of relaxing aspects like the beach and pool with hammocks to lay around on. The staff on-site were always really helpful and the last day they recommended Taganga prior to our flight.. couldn't have been a better way to spend the day! We saw some wildlife like colorful birds, hummingbirds, tortoises, and iguanas on the hotel property. Highly recommend!
Comfortable room, beautiful property, excellent attention from staff. There's so much to do in the area but we were temped to just stay at the hotel and enjoy it. Would definitely stay there again!
Super nice and relaxing place. The staff was very friendly and always helpful. The beach is nice cause there are not so many people there.

Lovely hotel in the middle of trees Super nice staff who was really helpful for any kind of questions Room perfectly cleaned Would definitely come over again!
Location is amazing. Expect to lie back and relax. The staff and hotel is lovely!
Mattress too soft. Wifi not working in house 15.
Garden!!! Beatuful luscious tropical garden! Reception staff was nice. Rooms are cute.
My favourite hotel during our trip to Colombia. Villa Maria Tayrona is alsolutely beautiful, right in the jungle with well decorated rooms (that are well sealed to keep out the bugs!!), great food in the restaurant, the perfect pool for lazing around and a stunning beach just 7 minutes walk away. The staff were really helpful when we decided to come a day earlier than planned, really responsive and helpful with organising us a taxi. We stayed for four nights and were sad to have to leave!
The price is rather high, therefore I would expect a better menu with a higher standard. Also breakfast is a là card only and unfortunately not a buffet. The pool could be cleaned a bit more often, as the water looks a bit milky. WiFi is only available at the pool and in the restaurant, not in the rooms - it's time to really relax! :-) also, some towels look quite old and used - again, for the price per night the hotel needs to watch out for those "small" details.
The hotel is one of the few in this area that is not directly located at the busy and noisy street which is a huge bonus! Therefore it's quiet and you can hear the ocean. Also, it's very green and it feels like you're in a huge beautiful garden. The rooms are spacious and a good place to relax. We had the sea view room and can definitely recommend it, even though the sea is quite far away (only a 5-10 min walk though). Having a pool is nice because the ocean is not for swimming as the waves are too strong. Not many hotels in the area have a pool. They offer a free drop-off and pick-up to tayrona Park. The guys at the reception were very nice, however some people in the restaurant could be a bit more professional and service oriented in this hotel category.
The property advertises the private park, but half of it was inaccessible when I stayed as the bridge connecting it was broken. As I mentioned, the accommodations are scattered around, so if you have difficulty in moving/walking, this is not for you, as there is a lot of walking to do with a lot of steps (this was fine for me, but you should know in advance).
The location is amazing! It's a great setting, near a beautiful beach. with a nice concept of small bungalows with 2 apartments/rooms each scattered around the "jungle". The restaurant onsite is good. Try the juices. The swimming pool is nice to chill out. The beach is really great if you are looking to be alone as there is hardly anyone there. The see is rough, but fun to play with.
Not a lot but bed was on the hard side.
Its aging, which is normal due to close proximity to sea, salt and wind.... The shower in bungalow 19 however was a real shocker and smelled like rotten eggs every time I opened the water - which I think is seriously unfair given the price we pay for those larger bungalows and compared to what's on the market close by. I would recommend putting an open shower like in the bungalows in front of the property... looking on the side of my bungalow there are a lot of waste that should be disposed of I.e. broken deck chair, big water bottles, old brooms and which makes it look really scruffy.
The restaurant has really improved since 2015! The bed and terrace of the bedroom are brilliant. The new reception and its staff are very welcoming and helpful.
The food! It's quite a big menu at the main restaurant, and it was only so so, certainly not up to the standards of other hotels in Colombia. It would be hugely improved by a smaller menu, with well done dishes that rotates for each day of the week.
Views from the room were lovely and the beach was fantastic. Staff were really helpful. It was also great having a free shuttle to the entrance of Tayrona.
The food is pretty pricey for what it is. The food is good but is usually cheaper in the city. But of course, Villa Maria is pretty secluded so you don't really have much choice.

FedNor funds $1 million to NOSM to help detect blue-green algae
December 4, 2017 algaeworldnews Leave a comment
[Canada] As the climate continues to change, scientists at the Northern Ontario School of Medicine (NOSM) say they are noticing an increase of blue-green algae in our lakes and waterways.
"Blue-green algae is actually more like a bacteria than a plant and it makes a lot of toxins in our environment," NOSM professor Greg Ross said, "so it's harmful to people's health."
On Nov. 24, Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Labour, Patty Hajdu announced the Federal government will be giving $1 million of FedNor funding to NOSM to develop an innovative camera technology that's able to quickly and accurately identify the toxic blue-green algae.
"NOSM and [Discover Air Fire Services] have been working together for a number of years, with FedNor," Minister Hajdu said "[and] FedNor is all about, identifying opportunities that will help move forward not just the research of our region but also the opportunity for economic development."

Currently, detection efforts of the blue-green algae is done on ground, with scientists collecting samples from beaches, lakes and waterways.
However, Minister Hajdu said with NOSM's new idea to mount cameras on an aircraft, the process for detecting the toxin will become much more rapid, which in turn will help scientists find a solution that much faster.
From rashes to possible lung problems, Ross said people who drink the contaminated water can potentially develop chronic long term illnesses.
He said, while Public Health is currently doing a great job in "monitoring the environment and letting them know of the contaminated areas," the $1 million funding from FedNor will help reduce any delays within the process.
"By the time you collect a ground sample, send it away for analysis and start to close beaches, there can be very very long term delays," Ross said, "[but] the technology we are developing should enable real time reporting."
Which means, within 24 hours scientists would not only be able to detect, but also let people know if there's a contamination on the waterway where they reside.

England v Pakistan 3rd T20 – England Spread The Batting Load Around →
England v Pakistan 2nd T20 – Good… But Could Time In The Eye Gym Help England Do Even Better?
England clocked-up a huge 84-run win against Pakistan in the 2nd T20 today in Kuala Lumpur, after Amy Jones (89) and Danni Wyatt (55) put on 120 for the first wicket in just 11.2 overs.
It was a stupendous start from Jones and Wyatt, and I was just reaching for my laptop to look up whether two hundreds had ever been scored in the same innings before, in men's or women's T20 internationals, when Wyatt was dismissed. (The answer appears to be "No", by the way.)
Following Wyatt's departure, England's Run Rate dropped off somewhat, as the worm shows:
England Innings v Pakistan – Once wickets began to fall in the 12th over, so did the Run Rate pic.twitter.com/5x71R3cXQt
— CRICKETher 🏏 (@crickether) December 19, 2019
Having been going at almost 11-an-over, they dropped back to a little over 7, and a total that had been heading for well over 200 fell back to "just" 185.
It was still plenty enough of course – Pakistan's highest ever score in a T20 is 177 – that was in Kuala Lumpur too, but versus lowly Malaysia, and against England their top order pretty-much folded in the face of the size of the ask in front of them. Aside from a battling 38 off 35 balls from Iram Javed, the only other positive they could really take is that the tail clung on to "go the distance" as they finished 9 down.
So England will be happy… but could they be happier? Should they have got closer to 210-220?
It is normal of course for players to take a few balls to "get themselves in", but Sciver and Knight chewed-up 14 balls between them at a Strike Rate of less than 75 – that's two-and-a-bit overs, which could be crucial in a big semi or final in Australia next year. So how could this be addressed?
The Telegraph's Women's Sport section's list of Women of the Year, published this week, included an interesting name I'd never heard of: Sherylle Calder. Calder has (as far as I can see) never played top-level sport, but she's on the list because she worked with England's men's rugby team at this year's World Cup in Japan as a "vision specialist" – improving the players' hand-eye coordination, among other approaches by using a specially developed set of video "games" called EyeGym.
A top player would never dream of going out to bat without warming-up her body, and they might take a few "throw-downs" as well to get the feel of leather on willow, but could the use of something like EyeGym help to get their vision closer to "the zone" before they have to actually face a ball in anger?
It wouldn't be a cure-all – there's lots you can't account for, especially the pitch – but in a game of fine margins, it might be worth a run or two an over; and while that might not have mattered against Pakistan today, against Australia at the MCG next spring, it could be all the difference in the world.

Paul O
Good all round performance. Perhaps England should have got 220 but people to underestimate how difficult it is to maintain a run rate through 20 overs especially when wickets start to tumble. The Pakistan bowlers deserve credit for bowling much better in the second half of the innings.
Amy Jones and Dani Wyatt looked so comfortable out there. Whereas Jones had been a bit lucky in the first T20, she was fantastic today. It would be nice if she could get over the 100 soon.
Is Sophie Ecclestone the best current T20 bowler in the world? You could certainly make a case for her especially given this was pitch that didn't necessarily suit her. Mady Villiers made just have moved ahead of Sarah Glenn for the T20 spot.
There was an article on Sheyrlle Calder in the Guardian before the Rugby World Cup final. She was with Eddie Jones when South Africa won in 2007 and apparently, Jonny Wilkinson found her extremely helpful apparently and if arguably the finest place kicker in rugby history endorses you, you must be good!
I thought it was a great England performance and a huge win in the context of an iT20. The opening pair got off to a very good start in the powerplay, but it was actually overs 7-12 that really propelled them on, with the second 50 coming in just 27 balls as Aroob, Aliya and Bismah were carted for plenty in a shocking spell for Pakistan, peppered with full tosses, drag downs and poor fielding. They were back to their worst for that period but England showed little mercy. Jones played one of her best innings yet, and Wyatt was efficient and effective, as usual of late. At one point she even pointed to a fielder and the umpire subsequently signalled no-ball, so presumably she'd spotted an infringement of the fielding restrictions. England were certainly on the ball for that first 12 overs.
It was always going to be tough to match that once the openers got out, and Pakistan then also tightened up a bit so the net effect was more pronounced. I don't think that England fell away too excessively. I doubt England would find themselves in that situation against Australia to be honest, but these innovative training methods like the Eye Gym thing you mention could help. Maybe some teams are already doing something like that.
Bowling-wise it was very good again as Pakistan were 5 down in the first 9 overs. It was a weird old effort from them, with little bursts of runs punctuated by long periods of consecutive dots. They didn't keep the strike rotating enough. There were no real weak links for England and all the bowlers contributed. Ecclestone was unbelievable, returning 2-5 in 3 overs, much better than anyone else managed. She's in a different league at times.
What about the weather in Australia at the moment?! This might actually affect their cricket development in the medium to long term, as you're going to struggle playing to a high level for long in 40-50 degree heat. Or in smokey conditions caused by bush fires. They'll have to do more indoors, tweak their season schedule or change their playing hours maybe. Not good for them, in any case.


The fact that there is no "Customer List", "Vendor List" or "Employee list" in iDempiere and ADempiere sometimes confuses people. You just need to remember to look in the Business Partner window to find these resources. Any given business partner record an be flagged as a customer and/or vendor and/or employee. This means that any business partner can be all three.
You are not required to mix your customers and vendors. Instead you can create a "Joe's Barber" that is flagged as a customer. This customer might have a customer Search Key of "CUST-1001". You can also have the same business, "Joe's Barber", flagged as a vendor using a different record. The vendor record might have a vendor Search Key of "VEND-1005".
Deciding whether to merge your business partners should be a conscience decision. Do you want your AP transactions offsetting your AR transactions when calculating your Business Partner's credit limit? Are you OK with with your AR Clerk seeing AP transactions during the payment/invoice allocation process? You can see discussions and demonstrations of this topic here.
How you flag a business partner determines where the business partner can be used. For example, if you flag someone as a Vendor, then you can create an Invoice (Vendor) record for that business partner. You can create an Invoice (Customer) for an organization flagged as Customer. You can assign a Sales Order => Sales Representative to a business partner flagged as Sales Representative.
A Business Partner can have zero to many contacts and zero to many locations. Typically, most business partners have at least one contact and location.
The typical business partner is a company or organization. The company name will exist in the Business Partner window => Business Partner tab. You will create a contact in the Business Partner window => Contact(User) tab for each person that exists in the organization. If the company has multiple locations, create a Business Partner window => Location tab record for each physical location. You can choose to link a Contact(User) to a Location is you wish. This link is not required.
If you operate a web-store that sells to consumers, many of your customers probably will not have business names. In this case, you simply create a business partner record whose name equals the name of the customer. You also create a contact that bears the same name. Admittedly, this is situation a little redundant; however, this structure will not cause you an issue, and the data model supports a wide variety of business partner scenarios.
Creating Employee business partners follows the same pattern as saving individuals. Both the Business Partner tab and the Contact(User) tab will contain the same name. While learning iDempiere, you might consider adding a " BP" to the end of the Business Partner => Name field. For example, the "Chuck Boecking" business partner would read "Chuck Boecking BP". This approach helps you understand when the system is referencing the Business Partner or the Contact(User) employee record.
If you would like a tab-by-tab and field-by-field explanation of the Business Partner window, I recommend you try the ERP Academy iDempiere Training program. It combines recorded explanations as well as live discussion about the Business Partner topic.

Bad Customer Support
by Active Gaming Media
All About Customer Support, Episode 1
Gaming platforms have gone through rapid development in recent years. These days it's a piece of cake for even independent developers to bring games that succeeded in their native language over to Japan; but this doesn't come without its share of problems: Adjusting advertising for Japan, trying to succeed across various media platforms, localization, support systems…the list goes on.
In this first edition of "All About Customer Support," out of the many things necessary for expanding into Japan, we've chosen to discuss a few things to remember about "customer support."
To start, when you hear "Customer Support," what's the first thing that comes to mind?
For most it's probably: "A channel of communication that allows users to make inquiries."
So what sort of communication channels might a game have?
Customer Support Examples (excluding phones)
Contact forms and the like are probably fairly obvious.
There are also many other channels of communication: DMs (direct messages) on social media like Facebook and Twitter, replying to official posts, using the e-mail address(es) posted on the app store, or talking to representative companies who aren't directly related to the game.
How much support can be given and whether or not there will be a team set aside for each various method will change with each company's desired management system, but if there is no prior planning for customer support aside from simply having it, there WILL be problems.
Here we're going to introduce two examples of problems that could pop up bringing games into Japan from overseas.
1. Different channels with no method of coordination
A. Japan's Customer Support Center
Outsourced communication channel for Japanese users
B. Original Customer Support Center
Communication channel for Japanese users run by the head office
Goes through inquiries and sends a request to A
C. Japanese Branch
Updates social media, handles DMs and replies
Sends all issues to A
D. Original Development Team
Handles e-mails sent to the address listed on the app store
Ignores Japanese inquiries
E. Head Office (Administration, general affairs)
What happens?
It's set up to fail from the start.
Like B sending inquiries to A, the user is forced to reach out to different channels when rejected from the one they chose.
You'll hear things like: "I tried talking to so and so, but was told to check here instead," and "I already talked to someone, but they transferred me here."
The problem requires multiple correspondences to be solved:
Explaining all the details of the issue to each channel could cause significant delays, sometimes stretching the process out for days.
Sometimes the issue can't be indentified the first time, and the user is forced to try again.
It takes two or three attempts before the problem can even start to be solved.
2 Lack of information means users don't know who to contact
No one can identify the correct communication channel, and their problem doesn't get solved during the first correspondence.
You'll hear things like: "This doesn't make any sense!" and "What does this mean?"
The above two examples could result in:
1. A significant loss in users
2. At the same time, the issues get spread around on social media
3. So, the number of new users decreases
Sales drop, and the overall lifespan of the product is shortened.
We definitely don't want that to happen.
Companies need to have a point of contact for users to be able to freely choose their channel of communication. If some sort of strategy isn't applied, it's almost certain problems will arise.
To entirely cover all bases so that users can get the help they need is definitely challenging, but that's customer support. The moral of the story is: Good customer support means satisfied customers, and that means your content will continue to be happily enjoyed.
Our company helps to fill gaps in customer support, carefully considering the issues above and how to approach them.
We're able to back up your company using various methods, including communication channels, collecting user voices, and monitoring and managing social media. If you're interested, please feel free to contact us here: [email protected]

There have been a number of advancements in discrete resistor technologies over recent years and, although there have been numerous reports dealing with these developments individually; there is currently no literature available which provides an overall review of these improvements.
This chapter presents a summary of existing discrete resistor technologies such as wirewound, metal oxide, thick film and thin film. The key performance properties of each group are discussed and some recent improvements to manufacturing techniques and materials are presented, together with specific applications and potential future developments.
Some of the specific areas discussed include; tailoring of wirewound and metal oxide resistor designs and materials for pulse and fusing applications and modifications to thick film resistor patterns and trimming rules to increase power handling and pulse and high voltage performance. The properties and applications of thick film on steel technology and current sense resistors are then discussed before finally an in depth review of existing thin film resistor materials and a potential new low resistivity system is given.

This fun meme is floating around blogosphere lately having originated from Stuck in a Book so I thought I'd give it a go too.
Schindler's Ark by Thomas Keneally. This is the book that the movie was based on. I'd had it on my shelves for quite a few years but I couldn't work myself up to read it. My recent visit to Auschwitz I and II made me really want to read this. It is a fascinating read about a spectacular man in one of our worst moments in history.
I have plenty I want to read next! At the moment, I'm tossing up between Prozac Nation, a Hardy or following the WWII theme, Stasiland by Anna Funder which has also been sitting patiently on my shelves.
This will be detailed in an upcoming post. 🙂 Borders is closing down and I've just gone a little cuckoo over their sales. I'm also heading off to Book Town again this year – this Saturday in fact. Hurrah!
You've reminded me that I still need to read Fforde's latest! What am I doing?? That's the downside of having too many books. You forget what you have!
And you have a signed copy too!! I'm starting to think I have too many books too!
This post on all the blogs has thrown up gorgeous suggestions for reads! Mine is also up.
It's always interesting to hear what people are currently reading about, isn't it? I've also come across some really great titles.
What a fun meme. Typical Fforde: Reader Expectation, hahaha!
I want to pick that man's brain! I love his literary in-jokes the best. I wonder if he's actually that well read.
I really need to get to read this Fforde and also Shades of Grey.
How can it be Book Town time again. I had forgotten all about it again. Maybe next year.
I also need to give Shades another go. Couldn't get into it the first time.
Book Town comes around quite sudden, doesn't it? I don't think I'm going to get a chance to go, after all.
Fforde is an amazing writer but I think one does need to devote themselves to his stories. They're all so in depth with details. I hope you'll enjoy his other books too! I think I love his Thursday Next series the best.
Liked the Fforde quote! I've never read him, but I must. One of the members of our book group is always saying how good he is.
You must give him a go especially if you love Jane Eyre! I still think he's very underrated.
Ahh, I'm going to steal this meme. I adored Schindler's Ark, thought Prozac Nation was alright, and I didn't have a good experience with my first attempt at Hardy. 😦 Is that to be expected?

Running Out Of Food, Medicine And Patience In Venezuela
Published June 26, 2016 at 3:22 PM MDT
RAY SUAREZ, HOST:
Venezuela is facing a deepening economic crisis. Inflation is through the roof, hospitals are running out of medicine and grocery stores are running out of food, triggering protests and riots. The Venezuelan economy has been spiraling downward along with the price of oil, which fuels the nation's economy. This is all happening while senior U.S. diplomats have been meeting with Venezuela's president, Nicolas Maduro, who's looking for international help to prevent a humanitarian disaster.
To get a sense of what's been going on we reached out to Daniel Lansberg-Rodriguez, a political columnist for the Venezuelan newspaper El Nacional.
DANIEL LANSBERG-RODRIGUEZ: So you have a situation that is worsening on the ground from moment to moment. Food is becoming scarcer. Electricity, especially outside of Caracas, and water remain very intermittent. And in a sense that demobilizes some of the opposition to the government because when you have to wait in line for five, six hours a day to get food - basic staples - when you can count on two, three hours of electricity or water in your home to wash clothes or to bathe yourself then that raises the price considerably on going out to protest.
SUAREZ: Let's put some more definition on the idea that food is becoming scarce. What exactly are we talking about?
LANSBERG-RODRIGUEZ: Venezuela for many years has been, I would say, the most import-dependent country within - definitely the Americas. This is a country which - 98 percent of its export economy is oil-based, which brings in a lot of dollars historically. Those dollars were then brought into a central government, which would then distribute them. And that was the way that the economy worked. That was a system that gave little incentives to the government for diversifying economically, even to the point where the country could feed itself domestically.
And at the same time, before the economic crisis that began two or three years ago in 2014, Venezuelans had to be paid more to do the same job as a Colombian or an Ecuadorian. So the ability for a company to produce domestically - I mean, Venezuela, we have the same soil, the same sun as Colombia, but for decades we've been importing sugar. We've been importing coffee. We've been importing milk. And one minute there were - aren't enough dollars to be able to facilitate those imports then the imports cease, and then you have moments of extreme scarcity.
SUAREZ: The new opposition in the legislature is trying to engineer a recall election. Where do things stand with that?
LANSBERG-RODRIGUEZ: If the president is recalled in the first four years of a six-year term then you have a new election, and you can have an actual regime change or an actual administrative change. If it's in the last two years then it goes to an appointed vice president. So I mean, technically there is nothing blocking an outgoing president from appointing their wife or their son as vice president - having their only act be to appoint the ex-president as vice president and resign. They'd be right back in.
So this is something that creates a situation in which the government needs only to play for time and avoid those catalysts, because if they can make it to January 10, 2017, then Maduro could step down. But, prior to that date, Maduro stepping down means a change in ruling party.
SUAREZ: In a recent piece in Foreign Policy magazine, you wrote about your friends picked up by Venezuelan National Guardsmen, during a routine traffic stop, in the process of verifying voter signatures for the referendum. Have you heard anything from them? Have election canvassers been disappearing in this way?
LANSBERG-RODRIGUEZ: The arrest of Francisco who is a - he's a U.S. citizen. He studied and lived between both countries. He believes very strongly in trying to bring change to Venezuela, trying to bring the democracy that he's experienced in the United States to his other country. He had lots of options to stay here, and he went back to seek public service there - him and his friend Gabriel San Miguel. And they were working on validating a signature drive. And this signature drive is required to be able to get a recall referendum, which would essentially allow for a new vote on Maduro. They're being held currently in a actual prison, instead of a detention center.
And it's interesting to point out that the moment that this happens - Francisco, a dual citizen with the United States, and Gabriel, a dual citizen with Spain - are moments in which conversations with the United States by Venezuela are picking up again. Thomas Shannon, the State Department representative, was there last week. And former President Zapatero from Spain is also very active in the Organization of American States analysis of Venezuela. So suddenly, right before those conversations begin, two potential bargaining pieces that are coming into play. And it's people being used as just another commodity. And it's wrong.
SUAREZ: That's Daniel Lansberg-Rodriguez, a columnist for El Nacional in Venezuela. Thanks for joining us.
LANSBERG-RODRIGUEZ: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Separation of Chlorella biomass from culture medium by flocculation with rice starch

Coagulation-flocculation remains as one of the preferred methods for efficient harvesting of Chlorella sp. cells. Although the use of established aluminium salts is highly appraised for high harvesting efficiencies, excessive residual aluminium imparted on both the treated supernatant and harvested biomass remained worrisome. Hence, the objective of this present study is to minimize the resulting concentration of aluminium present in the system by evaluating the use of rice starch as an aid to chemical coagulants. The residual aluminium in the starch aided and non-aided treated supernatants and biomass were then determined by using an inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy respectively. At an optimum pH of 6, more than 95% of the initial Chlorella biomass was recovered at 72 mg/L of alum or 9 mg/L of PACl. However, high residual aluminium contents in treated supernatants (1.3–1.7 mg/L) and biomass (2.5–4.5% weight distribution) were evident. Through the introduction of autoclaved rice starch by up to 120 mg/L as an aid, the dosage of chemical coagulants applied and the detected residual aluminium concentrations were reduced by up to 54%. Despite the increment in organic loadings for these treated samples, the use of starch which is biodegradable would minimize the resulting toxicity and metal contamination imparted. Thus, rice starch can be considered as a potential alternative to lower the dependence on chemical coagulants which limits the reusability of culture medium. Based on the FE-SEM micrographs obtained, the resulting flocs treated with rice starch were notably filamentous and threadlike; in-line with the coagulation mechanism of adsorption and bridging.
