Joys Of A Wife And Mom: Dare To Go Short Hair?
Summer just flew by so fast, don't you think so? It was so hot the past summer months that I noticed a lot of ladies sporting short hair. Celebrities, mostly, and they look really fab with their new hair style. Local celebs like Sarah Geronimo, Kris Aquino, and Judy Ann Santos, have chopped their long tresses and they all look stunning with their new look.
There are different lovely short hairstyles that ladies can choose from. But I noticed that pixie hair style is very "in" nowadays. Hollywood stars like Emma Watsons, Ann Hathaway, and Jennifer Lawrence all had it and I must say that they carry it really well and they all look super fab! And oh, have you seen the new look of Rihanna? She's sporting it, too! Not only that, she's wearing it pink, wow. I personally think she carries it fabulously.
Are you brave enough to chop your long hair and do the rihanna short hairstyles?
I, personally, have never sported short hair as I was born with natural curls so it's kind of hard to maintain it short, at least in my case. But if given the chance, well, I would probably give it a try.
I guess, sometimes, it's good to experiment with your hair style once in a while. Color it red perhaps, or cut it really short, it's all up to you. Honestly, I am not really very adept with hair styles. I have been sporting the same hair style all my life but I am a fan of those who could really show off new looks through their hair. I adore the look and the confidence they exude. Like I said, if only I have hair like theirs, maybe I could try and explore new hair styles, too. But, uhmm, well, for now, I am okay with my curls.
How about you? Have you tried experimenting on your hair styles, too? What's the boldest you've done so far?
I would have loved the pixie cut, if only I look good in it. Pretty faces could get away with any hairstyle, even a baldy one hehehe. Most of my childhood, I wear my hair short. It's only now that I get to enjoy having long hair. I guess I could chop it off to shoulder length lang. No shorter than that. Dyeing my hair is out of the question though, for now at least. Let's see 10 years from now when I have a gray mop on my head lol!
i love having a short hair style although I have a round face. wish i can pull off a pixie cut someday.

Game of Thrones is to fantasy TV what The Wire was to cop shows, and Maisie Williams is the HBO series sword-wielding, cross-dressing star. Not That he 15 years-old Birtish actress is officially old enough to watch the programme. Maisie acquired an agent when she auditioned for Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang in 2008 and has since become the thinking teenager's action heroine, upstaging a stellar cast as Game of Thrones fencer princess Arya. Still committed to dance over acting, Maisie took part last year in a flash mob dance-off in a shopping centre in her hometown of Bath.
Rebecca: Your character, Arya is the most excting role in Game of Thrones and there are a lot to choose from.
Maisie: Lots of people like her. I think it's because she's believable. There are fantasy elements to her story, but if you strip all of that away. she still feels like a real person. She makes really good decisions, and she's got fantastic lines. In the first book, she's 9, and I know that a 9 years-old killing someone doesn't sound very likely, but somehow it works.
R: You've now finished filming series three.
M: Yes, and it's my favourite. A lot happens to Arya.
R: But she can always fight herself out of any situation?
M: Yeah, there's lots of sword-fighting… I started that in season one. It's a bit like dancing. I thought I'd have to learn to fight, but it's more like chorcography. I did couple of fencing lessons between seasons one and two so I could look a bit more natural with the sword. I think the man was baffled that I was learning it with my left hand.
R: Are you left-handed?
M: No, but Arya is. There are some really die-hard fans out there, and I wanted to stay true to the books that George R. R. Martin had written. I didn't realise how much I'd end up doing with my left arm – even little things like holding jugs opening doors and so on. Everyone plans it as thoughI'm going to be holding it with my right hand, then I come in and go, "Ooh, sorry, I'm going to be doing it with my left hand", and they have to change it all around.
R: Game of Thrones has one of the longest pre-broadcast warnings I've ever heard, alerting the audience to strong bloody violence, sex, nudity and gory images.
M: I know! it does make me laugh.
R: Have you always been allowed to watch it?
M: Yeah. We'd seen episodes one and two at a little private screening. All my family came round to ours – young relatives, aunties, uncles, Nan – and I sat in the corner knowing what was coming. That was embarrassing. When my mum watches it, she gets quite nervous for my bits – not that she's embarrassed, just that she's nervous because her daughter's on a big TV show. So she watches […]

Let's be honest. MSNBC has long had the finger on the trigger when it comes to Matthews. | Source: REUTERS/Carlo Allegri
Chris Matthews' So-Called 'Retirement' Isn't a Victory for Women
September 23, 2020 UTC: 1:37 PM. March 3, 2020 UTC: 5:56 PM. by Aubrey Hansen
MSNBC's longtime talk show host Chris Matthews has "retired," effective immediately.
The 74-year-old Matthews has blundered his way through a string of controversies of late, including comparing a Bernie Sanders lead in the Nevada caucuses to the Nazis invading France.
While his inappropriate comments to GQ columnist Laura Bassett are the reason given for his removal, that incident is the tip of the iceberg.
Chris Matthews hosted Hardball on MSNBC for more than 20 years. And just like that, he was gone. A quick announcement on Monday that he was retiring and fill-in host Steve Kornacki was in the chair.
The reason? He asked a female guest, "Why haven't I fallen in love with you yet?" There were apparently other "gross and inappropriate" comments, although those haven't been reported.
What a ridiculous thing for a man to say to a woman, indeed! I'd definitely be triggered if anyone dared insult me in such a manner!
That was sarcasm, by the way, just in case you Matthews critics needed help deciphering my intent.
Chris Matthews being 'retired' for his comments to Laura Bassett isn't the whole story
There's more to the story than MSNBC wants you to think. | Source: Joseph Sohm/Shutterstock.com
Let's be honest. MSNBC has long had the finger on the trigger when it comes to Matthews. His recent performances suggested that he was already coming to the end of a long and illustrious career.
There were rumors that Matthews was due to step down after the 2020 election cycle. It would have been a fitting end to such a storied career and would have given him the chance to walk away with his head held high after years of service.
It wasn't to be. Instead, MSNBC effectively dragged him out to the back of the barn and shot him with an old gun.
Laura Bassett, the "victim" of Matthews' comments, tweeted with glee when he made his final remarks as host of the show he's fronted for over 20 years.
Sorry Laura, but as much as you may want to feel that you've struck a blow for women who have been forced to listen to compliments from men all over the world, you haven't.
The 2020 election news cycle is big business. For both news channels and advertisers. MSNBC has been itching to get a fresh, young face on that show for a while. Chris Matthews wasn't just gaffe-prone – he didn't fit the channel's demographic anymore.
Ousting Matthews is a win-win for MSNBC
The situation with Laura Bassett must have felt like a gift from the television gods for the higher-ups at MSNBC. Chris Matthews' blunders are legion, and they'd only been getting worse.
From his Nazi Germany remark when Bernie Sanders led in the Nevada caucuses, to mixing up African American politicians Jaime Harrison and Tim Scott, Matthews was slipping. There's no doubt of that.
With the accusations by Bassett, MSNBC found itself in the position of being able to remove a liability who had passed his sell-by date from their network, while playing to the gallery and championing women's rights.
It was nothing short of a masterstroke.

Q: Generate all combinations from multiple lists in python I have a dataset which contains multiple lists each having different number of elements. For eg.
list1 = ['a','b','c']

list2 = ['d','e']

list3 = ['f','g','h','i']

I want to generate all possible unique combinations from these lists with the following conditions:

*

*The number of elements in one combination should be 5

*Minimum of 1 element from each list.

How would I go about doing this?

A: I think this will do it (a lot of these steps could be combined but keeping them in to show steps)
Create a new list with all items in
list4 = list1 + list2 + list3

And another list to iterate through them to find all 5 combinations (you didn't specify about order or replacement so have a read here and change as necessary)
list5 = list(itertools.combinations(list4, 5))

Then remove the items that don't have an element from each list.
[i for i in list5 if any(j in list1 for j in i) and any(j in list2 for j in i) and any(j in list3 for j in i)]

So in one line it could be:
[i for i in itertools.combinations(list1 + list2 + list3, 5) if any(j in list1 for j in i) and any(j in list2 for j in i) and any(j in list3 for j in i)]

A: I support @Ghost Ops's answer.
itertools.product gave me the result I was looking for & in the easiest way.
Example:
from itertools import product

Suit = [u"\u2666", u"\u2665", u"\u2663", u"\u2660"]
Card = ['A','K','Q','J','10','9','8','7','6','5','4','3','2']
FullDeck = list(product(Card, Suit))

for i in FullDeck:
    print(i)

Movie review: Super Troopers 2 is sometimes funny, sometimes not
Super Troopers 2 brings back Paul Soter, Jay Chandrasekhar, Erik Stolhanske, Kevin Heffernan and Steve Lemme, plus the wisecracking, 17 years after the original. Courtesy of Fox Searchlight Pictures

Though Broken Lizard found mixed critical and financial results with its subsequent follow-ups to the 2001 cult hit Super Troopers, you do have to hand it to the guys for wanting to try something different before coming back around to the property that launched their film and TV careers. The underrated Club Dread was perhaps a bit too spot-on of a slasher parody to make inroads with broad audiences, Beerfest had some inspired moments but was perhaps a bit too uneven to generate the same word-of-mouth campaign as their first outing, and The Slammin' Salmon was a fun idea for a short or sketch that had no business being a feature-length film.
Now that Super Troopers 2 has arrived in theaters 17 years later, does it live up to its predecessor? That depends on your definition of "live up." Everyone involved is certainly better at what they do, both in front of and behind the camera. The troupe has enlisted more top-shelf talent (Rob Lowe, Will Sasso) with a diverse range of comedic backgrounds for the supporting cast. The jokes can be quite clever, and the Broken Lizard crew seem more natural in their roles as they fire them off. The only problem is that there are so many of them that you barely have time to react before five or six more come at you in rapid fire.
R, 100 minutes
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, Regal Stonefield 14 and IMAX, Violet Crown Cinema
This may not sound like a huge problem for a stoner comedy like this; after all, breezy, inspired silliness is totally par for the course. But the effect isn't a laugh riot so much as it is a smothering of its best material. One of Super Troopers' most enduring qualities was its instant quotability. Walking out of Super Troopers 2, you'll no doubt remember a few moments you thought were fun, but you probably will struggle to remember how or why, and the quotable lines are even more evasive. This isn't just a stoner comedy, the movie itself appears to be too stoned to handle itself.
We meet the former Vermont state troopers as they are reunited to represent their state in newly acquired land from Canada. It seems historical markers indicating the line between Vermont and Quebec did not match the known map, leaving the troopers in charge of a population resentful of the new occupying force. Before long, a smuggling operation is uncovered, and the investigation is impeded by their rivalry with the local Mounties. Make a list of joke premises in your head and you've written about half the script already. Many jokes about French, "sorry," gun control, obesity and more abound—some funny, some not, all subject to repetition.
The lead performances help move things along when the material doesn't. Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, Erik Stolhanske and Jay Chandrasekhar (who also directed) have genuinely evolved as actors, so things never descend into a bunch of improv guys giggling to themselves like the first film did at its worst moments. That said, Farva (Heffernan) is much more prominent in ways that are never fully welcome. The movie begins with a dream sequence starring Sean William Scott and Damon Wayans Jr. Scott is referred to as "Stifler," and what the American Pie series did with that character—put him front and center for everything, whether he belonged there or not—is an unfortunately apt comparison to Super Troopers 2 and Farva.
In any case, it's fine—you'll laugh, just not as much as you should to make this long-delayed sequel worthwhile.

Andermatt Responsible
Why it pays to travel to Andermatt by train or coach when going skiing
A brief excursion into the world of carbon footprints
The fact is that someone who travels by car to the ski area in Andermatt generates nearly ten times more CO₂ emissions that someone who comes by train. Although travelling by coach is not quite as climate friendly as by train, it still generates only about half as much CO₂ as travel by car.
Calculation bases
The calculations are based on the public transportation options that were introduced in Andermatt in the 2018/19 winter season and have been expanded for the 2019/20 winter season, specifically:
Andermatt Ski Express: 220 coach connections to Andermatt from the regions comprising the cities of Aarau, Olten, Lenzburg, Winterthur, Lucerne, and Basel, each with 50 seats per trip.
Andermatt Snow Express: 12 special trains to Andermatt from Zurich, each with 470 seats. The Swiss Federal Railways operates using 90% hydroelectric power, most of which is generated from its own power plants. In other words, the energy it uses is nearly climate-neutral.
In order to make realistic assumptions, bus and train capacities are depicted in scenarios.
The realistic scenario is the "mean" one: In this scenario, we assume that coaches and trains run at 50% capacity. In addition, we assume that about one-half of all people in the coach or on the train are "converters", meaning people who have consciously switched from travelling with their own car to taking coaches or trains because public transportation is less expensive or more convenient or because they want to help protect the environment. The other half would also have travelled using public or group transportation anyway, but they have not "converted".
Trains have the greatest potential for CO₂ savings compared with car travel, since they are powered by electricity. In the mean scenario, a train generates a total of just 11 tonnes of CO₂ emissions to transport some 2,800 people! But if half of the train passengers had come by car, they would have generated nearly 55 tonnes of CO₂ emissions compared with only about six tonnes by train. That corresponds to a potential savings of 49 tonnes of CO₂.
In other words, per-person savings are of course the greatest in the case of train travel, but coaches also compare favourably when measured against car travel. This is shown by the following considerations:
CO₂ savings through the additional public transportation options to Andermatt
Show larger image: The chart shows that arriving by train can save an average of 49 tonnes of CO2 compared with motorised individual transportation and with the bus, 77. This in the case average capacity utilisation.
The chart shows the potential CO₂ savings in a mean scenario over the entire 2019/20 winter. It assumes that the trains and coaches ran at 50% capacity and that 50% of all passengers had converted to public transportation. The calculation does not include regularly scheduled service by SBB, the Swiss Federal Railways.
In addition, with regard to the mean scenario for coach travel, we assume 50% capacity and 50% converters. Therefore, we assume that in the 2019/20 winter season, about 5,500 people came to Andermatt by coach. In the optimistic scenario, we assume that coaches and trains ran at 75% capacity (again, with 50% converters). In this case, it is assumed that about 8,360 people came by coach to Andermatt in the 2019/20 winter season.
In the case of a mean scenario, all coach passengers that winter generated emissions amounting to nearly 145 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents. But if half of coach passengers had travelled by car, they would have generated nearly 150 tonnes of CO₂, compared with only 72 tonnes with coach travel – slightly less than half as much.
Thus, savings under the mean scenario amount to about 77 tonnes of CO₂. Under the optimistic scenario for coaches, the savings even reach 152 tonnes of CO₂, because in this case, coach passengers who instead travelled by car would have generated nearly 225 tonnes of CO₂. In other words: the fuller the coach, the better for the climate.
CO₂ equivalent
A CO₂ equivalent (CO₂e) is a unit of measure designed to standardise the effect that various greenhouse gases have on the climate. In order to make this effect comparable, experts on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have defined the "global warming potential" of different greenhouse gases.
This index expresses the warming effect of a specific amount of a greenhouse gas over a fixed period of time (usually 100 years) compared with CO₂. For instance, the effect of methane on the climate is 28 times greater than that of CO₂, but it remains in the atmosphere for a significantly longer period of time. The effect of nitrous oxide on the climate is even more excessive, nearly 300 times that of CO₂. The anthropogenic source of these two greenhouse gases lies in agriculture, through the use of nitrogen fertilisers and the raising of livestock.

Isidoro e Carolina si amano, e vorrebbero sposarsi, con l'appoggio della zia di lei, Donna Rosa. Tuttavia Marcotondo, il padre di Carolina, vuole che la figlia sposi Don Carpazio, uno dei tanti scrocconi e adulatori al suo seguito, sedicente epigrammista e giornalista. Disperati, i due amanti si rivolgono a Donna Rosa, che li indirizza preso una sua cameriera, Lauretta, maestra di inganni. Intanto arriva a casa di Marcotondo lo stesso Carpazio, chiamato dal proprio mecenate, sproloquiando sulle proprie capacità d'impostura. Giunge Marcotondo, che gli propone la mano di Carolina: costui finge di essere già promesso a una contessina con dote di diecimila talleri per impressionare il suo sciocco mecenate, che subito afferma che la dote della propria figlia è ancora maggiore. Carpazio dunque, fingendo modestia, accetta.

Lauretta si gloria delle proprie capacità da ingannatrice, deridendo gli 'zerbinotti innamorati'. Entrano Donna Rosa, Isidoro e Carolina, che espongono alla donna il proprio cruccio. Lauretta prontamente, senza dire le proprie intenzioni ai suoi interlocutori, si fa portare un abito alla moda e ordina che Isidoro vada da un barbiere a farsi i mustacchi. Partito il giovane, Lauretta impartisce a Donna Rosa e Carolina una lezione sull'astuzia femminile.

Sala in casa di Marcotondo

Marcotondo e Carpazio hanno ormai steso il contratto nuziale, stabilendo di celebrare le nozze la sera stessa. All'improvviso il servo Mengone, fratello di Lauretta, annuncia l'arrivo di una dama inglese, Milady Sloff - in realtà Lauretta sotto mentite spoglie - venuta a conoscere di persona il 'celebre' scrittore Carpazio, il cui nome a suo dire risuonerebbe in tutta Londra; al suo seguito, un magazziniere francese, ovvero Isidoro travestito, che avrebbe seguito la dama nel suo viaggio. La sedicente Milady esprime grande ammirazione per Carpazio, e giunge ad invitarlo a casa sua, a Londra; ma quando Carpazio le dice che si deve sposare, la donna astutamente finge di svenire. L'impostore crede che la donna sia svenuta perché lo ama e non ha potuto sopportare il fatto che si sposi, cadendo dunque nella trappola, mentre il magazziniere-Isodoro finge una scenata di gelosia nei confronti della dama inglese. Questo getta Carpazio in gran confusione, e incomincia a dubitare delle nozze, mentre Carolina, istruita da Lauretta, finge affetto per l'impostore. Ma è giunto il momento degli sposalizi, dato che sono giunti a casa di Marcotondo tutti i suoi parenti, venuti ad assistere al lieto evento. Tuttavia Carpazio, fingendo prudenza, decide di differire le nozze, dato che a suo dire è meglio che lo sposo e la sposa si conoscano meglio. Carolina, a questa notizia, fa una scenata ad arte davanti a tutti, mentre i parenti di Marcotondo rimproverano Carpazio. Giunge subito dopo Isidoro, venuto a porgere le scusa per la sua gelosia; Marcotondo dapprima è bonario, ma poi si irrita per il francese del suo interlocutore, interpretato solo da Carolina.

Giardino in casa di Marcotondo

Carpazio insegue nel giardino di Marcotondo la Milady, che finge dolore per i prossimi sposalizi dell'impostore. Giunge Marcotondo, che introduce alla Milady Carolina, la quale annuncia alla donna delle sue prossime nozze. Ad arte, questa si finge turbata, e poco dopo rende noto a Donna Rosa, venuta ad offrirle un appartamento a casa sua, che ella è vedova, aumentando le speranza di Carpazio. Proprio a questo punto, però, irrompe una schiera di finti viaggiatori, venuti a mettere in guardia Marcotondo da Don Carpazio, accusato d'aver sedotto innumerevoli zitelle e imbrogliato molti galantuomini. Lo sciocco mecenate non crede a queste voci, e scaccia via la calca, secondato ad arte da Lauretta che informa i finti viaggiatori della fama internazionale di Carpazio.

Atto II
Sala in casa di Marcotondo, come nell'atto primo

Donna Rosa e tutti i parenti sono impazienti di celebrare gli sposalizi rimandati; ma Marcotondo, ostinatamente, difende il proprio protetto dall'impazienza dei suoi congiunti, vedendo Don Carpazio in preda ad un estro creativo. Lo stesso impostore, per sfuggire alle pressanti domande di Marcotondo e dei suoi parenti, si finge preso da un raptus poetico. Intanto giunge la nuova che il magazziniere francese è partito, in preda alla gelosia; questo aumenta le speranze di Don Carpazio, che appunto si concretizzano quando giunge la stessa Milady, venuta a cercare conforto presso l'impostore. COn una serie di battute incalzanti, Lauretta riesce a far dichiarare a Carpazio il proprio amore, e lo invita a casa sua la sera stessa. L'invito è rivolto anche a Marcotondo, a Carolina, a Donna Rosa e a Isidoro, che si finge il servente di quest'ultima e con sperticate lodi a Marcotondo riesce ad acquistarsene la simpatia. Donna Rosa dunque rassicura il giovane della riuscita dell'impresa, mentre questi sfoga le proprie insicurezze e le proprie speranze.

Sala grande in casa di Donna Rosa con vari tavolini, ed una tavola grande in prospetto. Qua e là varie sedie: lumi accesi all'intorno

Milady mostra ai suoi invitati un bellissimo quadro ritraente le nozze di Enea e Lavinia; ella poi mostra l'intenzione di voler riprodurre il dipinto, facendo impersonare a Marcotondo il padre, a Isidoro lo sposo, a Carolina la sposa e a Carpazio un rivale deluso; con la scusa di questa scena, Isidoro e Carolina riescono a sposarsi sotto il naso di Marcotondo e Carpazio, che non si accorgono di nulla; giunge poi Mengone, incaricato in precedenza dall'impostore di portare in stamperia un suo manoscritto; il servitore annuncia che i presenti, al solo sentire il nome dell'autore del volume, si sono messi a gridare all'impostore a ridere del dedicatario, ovvero Marcotondo. Come al solito, questi non presta la minima attenzione alle suddette voci, innamorato com'è del suo protetto. Ritorna Lauretta, con l'intenzione di mettere in piedi una seconda scena, con lei stessa nei panni di Donna Aristea, che ama ardentemente non ricambiata Don Procolo, impersonato da Carpazio, cimentandosi in una lunga aria con coro. Al termine dell'interpretazione tutti si sperticano in applausi per la cantante, che parte con Carpazio; ma giunge poco dopo Mengone, che informa gli astanti di aver visto Milady ordinare la propria carrozza per tornare a Londra, con l'intenzione di condurre via l'impostore. Marcotondo non è ancora persuaso della disonestà di Carpazio, ma gli altri lo spingono a sorprendere i due nell'anticamera della casa di Donna Rosa, dove hanno concertato di incontrarsi. I due amanti intanto esprimono gioia per la loro compiuta unione.

Anticamera di Donna Rosa al buio

Tutti si nascondono nel luogo indicato, e giungono la Milady e Carpazio. Senza sapere d'essere ascoltato, Carpazio da della sciocca a Carolina e del tonto a Marcotondo; questi, preso dall'ira, si palesa e aggredisce Carpazio, che pure non si scompone e annuncia la sua prossima partenza con Milady; tuttavia, questa finalmente si palesa quale Lauretta la cameriera. L'impostore, gabbato e umiliato, scappa via, mentre tutti, rivolgendosi al pubblico, mostrano la vicenda di Carpazio come esempio per tutti i ciarlatani.

Message Bus customers thrive on data – real-time information about who's opening their emails and who isn't, and how campaigns are performing over time. We provide highly reliable email delivery that helps improve our customers' message open rates by as much as 20%, meaning customers can do a better job of promoting their products and services. Google BigQuery frees us from the time-consuming work of managing data, which allows us to put brainpower and more money back into our business.
Feeding data to businesses when and how they want it helps us win business, but it also adds to the workload of storing and managing information. On average, we'd often accumulate about a terabyte of data a day, which took a good deal of time and money to keep track of. To manage the data associated with email delivery, we used a homegrown PostgreSQL-based data warehouse. Before our migration to BigQuery, the majority of our budget was spent on hardware, infrastructure, and personnel.
Building messaging systems is what we're good at, and we wanted our engineers to spend more time coming up with new ways to tell customers how their campaigns were doing. That meant replacing our homegrown data warehouse with a hosted data backend. We looked at Amazon Redshift and Joyent Manta, but BigQuery won us over due to its rich querying capabilities, practically zero administration for performance, affordable data storage and scalability. BigQuery is built on top of the battle-tested Dremel and Google File System, has a stable API and is inexpensive, and we get infinite scalability for data that can scale when we need it to without having to provision additional capacity.
BigQuery has helped us ramp up the amount and type of data we can supply to our customers. It's now faster and easier for our customers to access this information, since we built an easy-to-understand user-facing API, with BigQuery serving as the data warehouse.
Prior to BigQuery, we had implementation problems with our Postgres and couldn't serve out large volumes of data with our Postgres cluster. Moving to BQ solved this for us. There's no limit to the amount of data we can offer – we can even go several months back if customers want to do some historical analysis. Looking in-depth at the history of their campaigns helps businesses make better decisions about how they'll improve messages in the future. We also give customers access to data streams with real-time information about email delivery, as well as aggregate statistics every hour. For real-time data, we provide webhooks to our users that are triggered from our system to our user endpoints. For aggregate stats, we run an hourly job to compile results from BigQuery into a MySQL table.
To service our feed of customer stats, we periodically run queries on Google BigQuery and store the aggregate counts in a relational database in the cloud. We're using the BigQuery JSON API. For our feed on customers' historical data, we proxy requests to Google BigQuery via an internal job manager that handles user quotas, retries and the number of concurrent queries.
When a user queries our system for stats or raw data, we issue an internal GUID (globally unique identifier), which acts as proxy to the query that runs on BigQuery. The user of our API checks the status of the job, and upon successful completion, we proxy the resultset back via our API.
Not only is our data more detailed and easier to view, it costs much less, saving us $20,000 a month compared to our homegrown database. We also don't need an operations and database administrator to manage our database, in addition to the costly database hardware we were running before. So we're easily saving about $40,000 a month, all told.
Ten months after we started using Google BigQuery, we have three rich data feeds that are available in just minutes when customers request them. We're making good use of the time we're no longer spending managing data – in fact, we have fresh ideas in the works for even more data feeds that can drive better decision-making for our customers.
Today's guest blog comes from Ujjwal Sarin, software engineer at Message Bus, which provides cloud-based email delivery and message infrastructure to boost email open rates and lower the costs for users. Message Bus helps its customers use messaging to build strong relationships with their own customers.


Just off the Corozal Bay, the House of Culture is housed in what was once the community center point of Corozal Town.
Corozal House of Culture, with its signature clock tower, was originally built as the Municipal Market in 1886 and served as the town's market for one century. This House of Culture has now been transformed to include a museum, art gallery. It acts as the Community Center, hosting at least two cultural events monthly.

Kids and Cataloging: My First Weeks at the Swedish American Museum
I've already been at the Swedish American Museum in Chicago for two weeks, although it feels like a lot longer! The Swedish American museum is a mid-size museum in Chicago that tries to connect people with their Scandinavian heritage as they educate both children and adults on what it was like to be a Swedish immigrant in the United States, describing Swedish-American culture from the nineteenth century to the present. They operate a children's museum that aims to detail the difficulties and dreams of people who arrived in Chicago (here's the website: http://www.swedishamericanmuseum.org/childrensmuseum/). Although it's called a museum, it's really more of a playground for the kids- with hands on play, they explore what life was like for a Swedish American in the late nineteenth century. However, the museum doesn't concentrate on solely the past, as they also endeavor to present modern Swedish-American culture, such as the exhibit currently in the gallery, which is about Scandinavian drinking culture (you can check that out here: http://www.swedishamericanmuseum.org/exhibits/currentexhibit.php).
This is the outside of the model stuga, or Swedish farm house, that kids can play inside. There are even smocks and work shirts so the kids can dress up like nineteenth century Swedish kids.
At the museum, I'm a shared intern between the Collections department and the Children's Museum. My first day, I was dropped head first into my project for the summer in the archives; basically, I'm digitizing records associated with different artifacts. It's giving me an in depth look at how the cataloguing system at a museum works, which will no doubt be important for my future career as a historian. For the museum itself, though, organization right now is key, as they are in the process of reorganizing the archives. By digitizing these documents, I'm making it far easier to locate forty years worth of information, so that anyone looking can find a description of the artifact itself as well as its history.
When I'm a Children's Museum intern, I'm actually working on several different projects, such as a revised self-guided tour for adults in the Children's Museum. Many grown-ups are put off by the sign on the door that says the museum was designed primarily for kids between 6 and 12, even though there's so much more for people of all ages to learn. I've really enjoyed this project because it's allowed me to explore the Children's Museum more and get a close look at all the objects that the kids are allowed to handle and play with; it's helped me build up a cache of facts so I can answer questions by the kids and the parents when I act as a docent. I enjoy this part a lot because it outlines what people are most curious about; since I want to be a historian one day, it's important for me to know what people are interested in and how they best react to that information so I know how to share what I've learned as a researcher.
I'm incredibly grateful for this opportunity to explore my chosen career field more and I'm really looking forward to getting more involved in my projects throughout the summer, as well as getting to know all the super amazing staff and volunteers at the museum!
The Children's Museum is basically a playground, including a model American cabin and farm that the kids can play inside.

The vanishing fishing village of Pak Nai along Queen Sirikit Lake
Originally it was a fishing village along the Nan River, but in 1968 they started to build the Queen Sirikit dam and by 1974 the village was along the huge water reservoir Queen Sirikit. Although I assume that the village had been on another location as now. The village became famous as fishing village with house-boats. And it became famous because it is the point to cross the lake by ferry from Uttaradit province (Nam Pat) to Nan province (Pak Nai). The latter is becoming less and less popular as there are good roads going on both sides around the lake.
So in the past 20 years it became a tourist destination to enjoy the natural beauty of the lake, go fishing and stay overnight at one of the house-boats. But time & demands of tourism are changing and so is Pak Nai. There are still restaurants and house-boats. Even places to stay overnight. And the ferry is still used for cars and motorbikes. But it all looks & feels like it is a charm that soon will be lost. But we a great day. When we arrived we made a 40min boat-trip and we rented 2 house-boats with private balcony where we had dinner. Accommodation was basic, very basic (and not cheap). But we had a great day. And the next day we used the ferry to cross the lake to Nam Pat. For more information about Nan province see Destination Travel Guide Nan province, North Thailand.
When to go to Pak Nai?
Daily all year, although weather-wise best at the end of the raining season and during the cool season.
Pak Nai village along Queen Sirikit lake, about 100 km south of Nan town.
How to get to Pak Nai?
There is no public transport going there, although you could take the bus to Wiang Sa and then a Song Theauw to Na Noi and find yourself other transport to Pak Nai. By private car or motorbike follow route 101 south of Nan Town to Wiang Sa and the route 1060 to Na Noi. And from there continue south to Pak Nai.
Accommodation in Pak Nai
There are 2 or 3 very basic floating guesthouses that also operate a restaurant.

A GUCCI garden has blossomed at Dover Street Market GINZA as birds and butterflies grasp wasp adorned bags as they flutter around the rooms infamous elephant. A snake slithers across the floor providing the perfect scaly surface to display GUCCI's Spring/Summer 2016 shoes. This is Alessandro Michele's surrealist concept, motifs that have become part of GUCCI's visual vocabulary brought 'to life'. The installation will be on display through until April 6th.


Rolling your own cones for henna application gives you complete control of the size and shape cone you use. Play around with different sizes and shapes to find out what you like best.
Rolling cones can take some practice. Some people get it right away and some need practice, but don't worry. Anyone can learn to roll cones!
Henna cones are rolled from cellophane paper that is cut into generally triangles, and sometimes rectangles. these are called cello flats. Cutting the cello is the hardest part which is why you should buy perfectly cut cello triangles and cello rectangles from Beachcombers.
Use the transparent red plaid Scotch tape rather than the frosted green plaid Scotch tape. Frosted tape will not hold up to the essential oils or to freezing.
Fill the cone 1/2 to 2/3 with henna using a carrot bag or a sandwich baggie. Don't worry too much if the henna does not reach the bottom of the tip. Just leave it until you first use it or slightly cut open the tip to let the excess air to escape allowing the henna to fill the entire cone.
Instead of tape you can try a rubber band or binder clips to close cones to close the henna cones. I personally prefer tape, but you can use whatever works best for you.
Cut the tip of the cone with scissors or nail clippers to make a VERY small opening; just enough so that a needle could pass through the hole. Remember, you can also cut the tip a little larger, but once you go too big, you can't go back!
Another option is to roll your cones with a small opening in the tip, but this takes more practice and control. If you are new, try the closed tip roll first.
Any unused henna can be stored in the refrigerator for later use within a few days. For storage longer than that, freeze henna paste.
Use a different printed cello for each batch of henna. This allows you to keep track of different batches of henna.
Make large batches of henna paste and cone the entire batch. Freeze the individually filled cones. Thawing individual cones only takes about 15 minutes. This means you are always minutes away from fresh henna!

Septentrionalium Terrarum descript
Stock# 0016dg
Nice example of this fine miniature map of the North Polar regions, being a reduced copy of the first separate map of the North Polar Regions.
The map is extended to 60 degrees, to incorporate the recent explorations in search of the North West and North East Passages by Frobisher and Davis. The Straits of Anian is clearly shown. The pole itself is no longer made up of four surrounding islands, illustrated by Mercator in his large map, which myth had it, were separated by four strong flowing rivers. These carried the oceans of the world towards a giant whirlpool at the pole where there stood a large rock. An account of this myth in Mercator's own hand still exists.
Though first issued in the 1628 edition of Atlas Minor Gerardi Mercatoris published by Jansson, and often listed under Mercator, the map is Jansson's creation, as Phillip Burden notes:
It did not follow the school of Mercator, but used the knowledge of the many recent voyages of exploration for the North West and North East Passages. Unfortunately Hudson Bay itself was one area that was omitted. Here Janssonius tried to reconcile that which was known of the North West Passage with the age-old belief in a Lake Conibus, feeding into the polar sea from the north of the continent. Some other theories illustrated include the fictitious islands in the North Atlantic, the most notable of which is Frisland. A rudimentary Strait of Anian is depicted.
Burden attributes the engraving of this particular plate to Abraham Goos.

Jan Jansson Biography
Jan Janssonius (also known as Johann or Jan Jansson or Janszoon) (1588-1664) was a renowned geographer and publisher of the seventeenth century, when the Dutch dominated map publishing in Europe. Born in Arnhem, Jan was first exposed to the trade via his father, who was also a bookseller and publisher. In 1612, Jan married the daughter of Jodocus Hondius, who was also a prominent mapmaker and seller. Jonssonius' first maps date from 1616.
In the 1630s, Janssonius worked with his brother-in-law, Henricus Hondius. Their most successful venture was to reissue the Mercator-Hondius atlas. Jodocus Hondius had acquired the plates to the Mercator atlas, first published in 1595, and added 36 additional maps. After Hondius died in 1612, Henricus took over publication; Janssonius joined the venture in 1633. Eventually, the atlas was renamed the Atlas Novus and then the Atlas Major, by which time it had expanded to eleven volumes. Janssonius is also well known for his volume of English county maps, published in 1646.
Janssonius died in Amsterdam in 1664. His son-in-law, Johannes van Waesbergen, took over his business. Eventually, many of Janssonius' plates were sold to Gerard Valck and Pieter Schenk, who added their names and continued to reissue the maps.

Detectives in Baltimore exhumed the grave of a Catholic priest as part of an investigation into a 50-year-old murder case set to be the center of a new Netflix documentary series.
County police on Thursday said they unearthed the body of A. Joseph Maskell to compare his DNA with crime scene evidence discovered near the body of Sister Catherine Ann Cesnik in 1970, the Baltimore Sun reported. They dug up the Catholic priest, who died in 2001, at the end of February and returned him to the ground the same day.
Cesnik, 26 at the time, was a teacher at Archbishop Keough High School — then called Western High School — and lived with another nun in South Baltimore.
In November 1969, she went to the bank to cash her $255 paycheck and then made her way to the Edmondson Village shopping center, where she purchased buns at a bakery — but she never returned home.
Her body was discovered a few months later in a field in Lansdowne. Sister Cathy suffered blunt force trauma to her head.
A recent investigation by WJZ revealed many women who accused Maskell of sexual abuse believed the nun was killed because she was about to reveal allegations against the priest.
"She confronted him and lost his life for it," one his alleged victims, Teresa Lancaster told the news station.
Sexual abuse allegations against Maskell began to emerge in the 1990s — he worked as a chaplain and guidance counselor at Archbishop Keough in the '60s and '70s.
The Archdiocese has reached dozens of settlements with those claiming abuse and removed him from the ministry in 1994.
Prior to his death Maskell denied the allegations and claimed to know nothing about Cesnik's death despite being implicated in the case by a woman who accused him of sexual abuse.
Netflix in April announced a seven-part series — called "The Keepers" — set to explore theories that Cesnik was killed because she had knowledge on the abuse committed by Maskell.
It's slated to premiere May 19.

After Etsong gave up on the slow-selling Maestro-based Lubao, First Auto Works (FAW) took over the production rights, and gave the car a bit of a spruce-up.
The Chinese automotive group First Auto Works (FAW) acquired the production rights to the Maestro and Montego from Etsong in 2003. The Etsong Lubao had proven to be a slow-seller in its original form, and China's massive FAW group, which is the country's oldest car company, initially launched the Toyota-engined Lubao CA6410 pretty much unchanged, but went on to develop the car into an interesting amalgamation of Maestro and Montego.
On 11 May 2003, FAW revealed its CA6410 to the Chinese press, and it didn't exactly go down a storm, even though it was cheap and aimed primarily at the western-Chinese market. According to site contributor Erik van Ingen Schenau, 'Production continued unchanged, as First Auto Works (FAW) took over the project.' It was interesting that FAW acquired the rights to the Maestro, given its former production of the Morris Ital-based Huandu CAC6430 – reuniting these former British stalwarts on the other side of the world.
Erik explained where the CA6410 name came from: 'The reborn Maestro's name meant it is registered with the Beijing authorities as a bus (hence 6000-series) and is classified as being 4.1-metres long (the 410 part of its name).' The longer van version, which was sold alongside the hatchback, was known as the CA6440 on account of being 4.4-metres in length.
A little later, FAW unveiled the Lubao CA7410 (above), which added the Montego front to the Maestro to create what UK fans have lovingly nicknamed the 'Monstro'. No sales figures are known, but anecdotal information suggests that it was not a successful car – FAW did, though, shift more units than Etsong ever managed to.
Upmarket model gets integral front foglamps and cheap-looking sill extensions.
Basic model gets by without the body addenda, and has what appear to be side lights built into the front bumper (a feature shared with the Etsong QE6400).
This intermediate model benefits from the fact that the contrasting bodyside rubbing strip is continued ahead of the front doors and onto the front bumper, giving the car a more finished look.
Side view shows the car in its worst light: the mismatch between the Montego front wheelarches and Maestro rear ones is plain to see, while the front overhang seems at odds with the curtailed back end. The black surround of the rear side window also looks out of place, now that the window frames on the doors have been painted in the body colour.
Well it's certianly different! Shows the Chinese are thinking about new ways to develop the model (lol).
A shame this wasn't done in the UK – makes the car look so much more modern. Slightly confused as to the decision to trim the rear but not the front. Rear bumper trim delete would look balanced.
Imagine – VDP & MG Turbo Maestro's with this Aero look & the other models with the standard one – more highline cars sold – more profit.
I wonder if its possible to convert UK cars? are the fixing points & all that the same?
Cowley did build a batch of vans with Montego front ends for a UK contract. Cant remember who the customer was. Never seen one!
Would the Montego-fronted Maestro be what happened had the Maestro been designed around the S-Series engine like the Montego was, resulting in the latter featuring a lower bonnet line?
Curious to know whether the facelifted Maestro by Roy Axe kept the existing bonnet line or a lower Montego-like bonnet line.

Gemma Welsher – Director (Procurement).
Gemma has been working for Willmott Dixon for 10 years and was recently promoted to pre-construction manager, overseeing all tender and bid work for our Wales and the West office.
Managing a team of 15, Gemma thrives on the diversity and variety in her role but didn't always plan on a career in construction.
"At school I was actually really interested in art and English, but I was lucky to be made aware of the opportunities within the construction industry as my Dad was a lecturer in Construction in the built Environment."
She continues "Through that course I got a real taste of all the possible roles in the construction industry, from bricklaying to management and surveying we got to experience the lot, which is where a lot of people miss out I think, as they are just not aware of the diversity of roles available to them".
Although originally intending on a degree with Loughborough University, Gemma was given the opportunity to become a management trainee in quantity surveying for a construction firm, "that was something I would never have predicted, when quantity surveying was suggested my response was – 'but I am no good at maths!' it's these preconceptions that we need to break down as I have honestly never looked back."
Gemma then worked on several high profile projects before joining Willmott Dixon as commercial manager; "I really enjoyed working for here from the start, my roles have been interesting and challenging and what I really love is that every day is different.
One of the most satisfying parts of working in construction is the team work aspect, everyone pulls together to build something amazing.
I often drive past buildings and say 'I built that!' to my kids, not that I laid a brick of it, but that's the point – there is so much more to creating a building than just laying the bricks."
Gemma's advice to young women thinking about a career in construction:
"To be honest I think the most important thing is to understand the opportunities available – regardless of gender, no matter what your skill set is there is probably something that will appeal to you" she continued "the industry is changing a lot at the moment, and new technologies are coming to the forefront so different skill sets and competencies are required; the options are vast and often surprising."

Donald Trump postponed a news conference scheduled for Friday to announce his running mate after the deadly truck attack in France. And while Trump said he hadn't settled on a "final choice," campaign chairman Paul Manafort told Fox News on Friday that he thinks Trump has "reached a decision but he isn't prepared to announce it yet." Trump, though, made clear that he was scrapping plans to announce his pick Friday in the wake of the attack in Nice.
Donald Trump postponed a news conference scheduled for Friday to announce his running mate after the deadly truck attack in France -- though the Associated Press reported that he's already offered the job to Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.
A Republican with knowledge of the process told the AP that Trump made the offer on Thursday, before Pence traveled to New York.
And while Trump said he hadn't settled on a "final choice," campaign chairman Paul Manafort told Fox News on Friday that he thinks Trump has "reached a decision but he isn't prepared to announce it yet."
He predicted an announcement this weekend, ahead of the Republican convention that kicks off Monday.
Trump, though, made clear that he was scrapping plans to announce his pick Friday in the wake of the attack in Nice.
Earlier on Thursday, sources familiar with the Trump campaign's vice presidential selection process confirmed to Fox News that steps are underway for Trump to name Pence as his running mate.
But all signs seem to point to Pence.
The announcement originally set for Friday followed a very-public vetting process that included meetings in recent days with Pence, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, among others.
If Trump settles on Pence, who went from dark horse to leading contender in a matter of days, the pick presumably is aimed at galvanizing support from the party's conservative base as Trump charges into the Republican nominating convention.
Consideration of Pence also has put Trump on the clock. Pence faced a Friday deadline to file paperwork to appear on the official state ballot as either a gubernatorial or vice presidential candidate. Under state law, his name could not appear on the ballot twice.
Pence, now in a tough re-election bid, spent 12 years in Congress including as the leader of the House Republican Conference.
Pence emerged relatively late in the vice presidential stakes.
But he moved almost immediately to the top of the list, considering he gives the Trump campaign much-needed social conservative credentials without the kind of political baggage that Democrats had hoped to exploit in other finalists like Christie or Gingrich.
"Mike Pence would make an outstanding running mate," GOP strategist Rob Burgess said.
Still, Pence is not without some negatives, particularly his handling last year of the so-called Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
The original law, which he signed, allowed residents and companies being sued by a private party to cite their religious beliefs as a defense. However, critics argued the law would allow discrimination against gays and others.
The national and widespread criticism was so damaging it forced Pence and the state legislature to revise the law to clearly prohibit businesses from denying services to customers based on their sexual preference or gender choice. And it appeared to end Pence's 2016 presidential aspirations.
The liberal MoveOn issued a statement Thursday calling Pence an "extreme right-wing" governor.
Fox News' Carl Cameron and FoxNew.com's Joseph Weber and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Artists provide hope with murals during coronavirus pandemic
By John Stofflet
Published: May. 24, 2020 at 12:32 PM CDT
A trio of artists are brightening the Madison-area by turning blank wall spaces into a work of art.
"We just biked around town," said Brian Kehoe. "A friend actually mentioned Park Street and how there were a lot of beige, non-descript walls that it might be a good spot to add some color."
It started in April with a mural on Monona Drive, with the words "this too shall pass."
"It just makes me look forward to what we can all do together after all this has calmed down a little more," says Wheeyeon, who lives in the area. "Some hope is needed, especially since a lot of people are struggling now."
That mural led to one being done on Park Street, as a way to give people something to hold on to.
"We decided to stay with this particular theme, both aesthetically, and with positive messages out on the street," says Kehoe. "Because everybody's in it, so we figured this is kind of, our public service."
For Kehoe, Emily Balsley, and Ray Mawst, paying gigs are in short supply now, but this project isn't about feeding their bank accounts, it's about feeding their souls.
"We're doing this on our own dime," says Mawst. "We're funding it ourselves, just with the hopes that we can keep the art alive."
"Just knowing that this could help one person, two people, bring a smile to their face, that little sense of hope, for me, that's huge," says Balsley. "That's my goal in my art."
Recently, the trio added a third mural on Monroe Street which says, "I wish you love and happiness."
They are currently looking for new locations for their next mural. Besides the color and style, the other factor they look for is something they can start and finish in one day.

Q: Why $\sup _{\Omega} u \leq \sup _{\partial \Omega} u^{+}+M$ imply $\sup _{\Omega} |u| \leq \sup _{\partial \Omega} |u|+M$ I am reading Han and Lin's Elliptic Partial Differential Equations.

PROPOSITION 2.27.Suppose $u \in C(\bar{\Omega}) \cap C^{2}(\Omega)$ satisfies $$
Q u \equiv a_{i j}(x, u, D u) D_{i j} u+b(x, u, D u)=0 \quad \text { in } \Omega
$$ where $
a_{i j} \in C\left(\Omega \times \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^{n}\right)
$ satisfies$$
a_{i j}(x, z, p) \xi_{i} \xi_{j}>0 \text { for any }(x, z, p) \in \Omega \times \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^{n} \text { and } \xi \in \mathbb{R}^{n} .
$$ Suppose there exist nonnegative functions $g \in L_{\mathrm{loc}}^{n}\left(\mathbb{R}^{n}\right) \text { and } h \in L^{n}(\Omega) \text { such that }$
$$\frac{|b(x, z, p)|}{n D^{*}} \leq \frac{h(x)}{g(p)} \quad \text{for any} (x, z, p) \in \Omega \times \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^{n},$$
$$
\int_{\Omega} h^{n}(x) d x<\int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}} g^{n}(p) d p \equiv g_{\infty}
$$
Then there holds $\sup _{\Omega} |u| \leq \sup _{\partial \Omega} |u|+C(h,g)\operatorname{diam}(\Omega)$.

But in his proof he only shows $\sup _{\Omega} u \leq \sup _{\partial \Omega} u^{+}+C(h,g)\operatorname{diam}(\Omega).$ I cannot figure out why $\sup _{\Omega} u \leq \sup _{\partial \Omega} u^{+}+M$ imply $\sup _{\Omega} |u| \leq \sup _{\partial \Omega} |u|+C(h,g)\operatorname{diam}(\Omega).$This seems not obvious to me.
Since if $sup _{\Omega} u<0$ then $\sup _{\Omega} u \leq \sup _{\partial \Omega} u^{+}+C(h,g)\operatorname{diam}(\Omega)$ certainly holds and why we can derive a stronger proposition that $\sup _{\Omega} |u| \leq \sup _{\partial \Omega} |u|+C(h,g)\operatorname{diam}(\Omega)$?
Any help will be thanked.

A: Note that $v = -u$ satisfies
$$ \bar Q u \equiv \bar a_{i j}(x, v, D v) D_{i j} v+\bar b(x, v, D v)=0 \quad \text { in } \Omega$$
where $\bar a(x,z,p) = a(x,-z,-p), \bar b(x, z, p) = b(x, -z, -p)$. Also, $\bar a_{ij}$ satisfies the same ellipticity condition and $\bar b$ satisfies
$$\frac{|\bar b(x, z, p)|}{n D^{*}} \leq \frac{h(x)}{\bar g(p)} \quad \text{for any} (x, z, p) \in \Omega \times \mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^{n},$$
and $h(x), \bar g(p) :=(g(-p)$ satisfies the same integral inequality. Thus
$$ \sup _\Omega v \le \sup _{\partial \Omega} v +C(h, \bar g)\operatorname{diam}(\Omega), $$
this would give (together with inequality on $u$)
$$\sup_\Omega |u| \le \sup_{\partial \Omega} |u| + \tilde C \operatorname{diam}(\Omega), $$
with $\tilde C = \max\{ C(h, g), C(h, \bar g)\}$.


The Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) has released an update on China's illegal CFC-11 emissions crisis.
In the new report published to coincide with the 30th Montreal Protocol meeting in Ecuador, the EIA also called for a global ban on the use of disposable, non-refillable refrigerant cylinders, which are being used widely in the illegal HFC refrigerant trade across Europe.
Less than half of SME food retailers in the UK, France and Germany have started the transition from HFC-based refrigerants to cleaner alternatives required by EU regulations, according to survey data released today by global technology company Emerson.
Commitments set by the UN, along with EU regulation, mean that food retailers need to move away from refrigeration systems that run on hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) – an environmentally damaging refrigerant – and replace them with more environmentally friendly options. The phase-down is a progressive reduction of the refrigerant which started in 2015 and runs through 2030.


No, I'm no Master of Wine or working on my WSET diploma. I'm just in love with all the fantastic winemakers and the wines they make and how we together create a community.
I had my first natural wine in 2008 in a restaurant in Malmö, Sweden. It was Les Puits by Oliver Lemasson. People called it unfiltered wine, and I loved it but didn't see it anywhere when back in Germany.
Years later it showed up on menus everywhere I would go. So I went out and wanted to try more and learn all there was. With a certain nerdy approach, I quickly got deeper and deeper into the topic, and people asked me if I could recommend wines to them or even order them a couple when I found stuff in France or Spain.
After a little moonlighting phase I started to think about how a new curated members-only club could work. I made it exactly like something I would have always wanted. More like your typical digital service, than the awkward wine shop visit we all know.
Let me know what you think or if you have any questions just ask me via email marcus@plain.wine or Instagram @plain.wine.


Due primarily to the island's physical separation from the Chinese mainland, the ineptitude and corruption of the handful officials sent from China, and the unruly characters of the natives, the British nationals, who had direct contact with the islanders or who had engaged with the Mandarins there, did not believe that China had effective jurisdiction over the larger half of Taiwan. Because the British desired Taiwan's natural resources and also valued its strategic location, they did at one time contemplate annexation of Taiwan following the withdrawal of the English East India from China in the 1830s. However, after Britain had gained possession of Hong Kong in 1842, she chose not to occupy Taiwan, but instead, to only establish trading posts on the island to meet its commercial needs. The paper will discuss British gunboat diplomacy, shipwrecks, trade practices, and Presbyterian missions in Taiwan. In so doing, it will document Taiwan's deep and far reaching relationship with such Western values and cultures as Christianity, mercantilism and modernity. For example, British trading practices ushered the island to the steamship age, improved its transportation and communication infrastructure, and made Taiwan an integral part of the maritime trading world. The legacies left by British merchants at Taipei's Ta-tu-tia, the Presbyterian missionaries in Tainan, Kaohsiung and Chiayi, the British Customs officials, the British consulate in Tamsui and so on had helped to stimulate the growth of Taiwan. Finally, the paper will demonstrate that Taiwan was not just merely a Sinicized appendage of the imperial China, but instead had its own unique maritime traditions.


And here is the answer to last week's question – when was the Talmud written down? Rabbi Triebitz shows fairly convincingly from the Raavad when the paradigm shift occurred from an oral culture to a written culture. The answer is as surprising as it is logical – this is perhaps the most radical thing that Rabbi Triebitz has yet said in these shiurim.
If this shiur is accepted we can rewrite the history books, and understand more clearly the distinction between Gaonim and Rishonim.

Ed-Fi Standards

Next Change: Difference between versions 9 and 10
The Ed-Fi Alliance coordinates and publishes community-led standards for education and the exchange of education data. This article collects links to resources and key publications.
Ed-Fi Data Standard
The Ed-Fi Data Standard is the widely adopted, CEDS-aligned, open-source data standard developed by the educational community for the betterment of the community. The Ed-Fi Data Standard serves as the foundation for enabling interoperability among secure data systems and contains a Unifying Data Model designed to capture the meaning and inherent structure in the most important information in the K–12 education enterprise.
Current Versions (v2.2, v3.2.0-c, v3.2, 3.3-b) | Latest Version (v3.2) | Early Access (v3.3-b) | All Versions
Standard Information & Publications
What do we mean by "standards?" The Ed-Fi is a Standard article on our website has an overview.
The Ed-Fi Data Exchange Standards site contains documentation and technical specifications for our published standards.
Ed-Fi data exchange standards are aligned with the reference standards published on the Ed-Fi Data Standard site. In particular, the Ed-Fi Unifying Data Model (older v3.3.0-a) is a helpful reference to understand the contents and structure of the data exchanges we support.
Draft & Working Standards
The EFDSRFC contains work-in-progress specifications. Although the material is still in draft form, the technical specifications are typically implementable. For example, the Ed-Fi community uses this site to publish data exchange specifications for Ed-Fi-related technologies.
The EFDSDRAFT contains very early drafts of our standards. The standards here are proposed, and the technical specifications may be fragmentary — the purpose with this site is to foster early community discussion about technical and logistical details. Often, Working Draft specifications will be refined into an RFC and eventually published by the Alliance as a standard.
Looking to get involved in the discussion and definition of standards? See the Community & Governance article on this site for details, including how to get involved.

I didn't know that vegan tzatziki could be so delicious…until now! Friends, let's do this!
It all starts with my 2-Ingredient Coconut Yogurt, which creates the perfect creamy base for this dip.
Next comes a finely grated cucumber, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper! Last but not least is dill, which adds some much-needed herby flavor – serious swoon!
Simply mix all together and there you have it! Creamy, tangy, delicious tzatziki ready to be spread on all the things.
This would make the perfect dip for fresh vegetables and olives. It also pairs especially well with dishes like my Traditional Vegan Falafel, Chickpea Shawarma Sandwich, Red Pepper Tabbouleh, and even Vegan Naan and Flatbread. Plus, stay tuned for my Greek-inspired take on a Buddha Bowl!
Easy, 1-Bowl vegan tzatziki made with 6 simple ingredients! Creamy, tangy and the perfect dairy-free alternative to traditional tzatziki.
Finely grate cucumber with the skin on – should yield about 1 cup. Then either set in a fine-mesh strainer set over a small mixing bowl or transfer to a clean, thin towel and squeeze out excess moisture. The remaining amount should be about 1/4 cup.
Add coconut yogurt to a large mixing bowl and add strained cucumber, garlic, dill, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and olive oil (optional). Stir to combine.
Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more salt for overall flavor, garlic for zing, lemon for acidity, or dill for herbiness.
Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator (where it will thicken) up to 5 days, sometimes longer depending on freshness of yogurt.
This Tzatziki is delicious on its own, but it also pairs well with Greek-inspired recipes like these Traditional Vegan Falafel, Tabbouleh Salads, Shawarma Sandwiches, or Buddha Bowls.
*If your coconut yogurt is thin, pour over two layers of cheesecloth laid in a fine mesh strainer set over a mixing bowl and strain overnight until the excess liquid has drained out.
*One batch of my coconut yogurt recipe yields 1 1/2 cups of yogurt, which is the perfect amount for this recipe. Be sure to use the brands of full-fat coconut milk and probiotics I recommend for best results.
*If you aren't making your own coconut yogurt, my favorite unsweetened (Greek style) brand is Coyo, which can be found at Whole Foods and most health food stores.
*Recipe adapted from Live Eat Learn.
*Nutrition information is a rough estimate for 1 of 7 1/4-cup servings.
