With the first half of the year behind them, the OPP has laid 932 "Move Over" charges so far this year against drivers who failed to slow down and move over when approaching an emergency vehicle with its lights flashing.
The Rainy River District Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) would like to remind the public to stay safe around water during the summer season and beyond. July 15-21, 2018 is National Drowning Prevention Week.
Swimming and water play are part of a healthy, active lifestyle that families often participate in, particularly during the summer months.
The Rainy River District OPP is reminding residents to lock their vehicles to prevent theft.
Over the past few weeks, police in the area have received more than 10 reports of vehicles being entered in Fort Frances.
On Friday (July 6), the Kenora OPP was dispatched to a report of a man who had entered into the water and did not surface at Goshawk Lake landing in Whitedog First Nation Territory.
Members of the OPP's Marine and Trails Unit, OPP Crime Unit, Treaty #3 Police Service, and Kenora Ambulance all attended the scene to search for the male.
From July 4-9 in Fort Frances, many vehicles were entered and property was stolen.
Members of the Rainy River District OPP began investigating the circumstances of each incident.
As a result, a 20-year-old Fort Frances man has been charged with numerous offences, including eight counts of theft under $5,000 and seven counts of possession of property obtained by crime.
Members of the Rainy River District OPP are asking for the public's assistance in recovering some stolen property.
On July 4 around 11:02 a.m., members of the OPP responded to a call of a stolen outboard motor.
The motor, described as a 25 h.p. Yamaha, is valued at more than $2,000.
It was last seen at a residence on Scott Street on July 3.


HooplaKidz TV present two Youtube videos about Jack and Jill. Note that, in the first one, Jack breaks a crown fit for a king, rather than his actual head.
Nursery rhymes: beyond the pail!
Stage 1 students today consolidated their knowledge of the nursery rhyme, "Jack and Jill", by creating some digital stories. We brainstormed ideas, the students suggested suitable toys and props from around the library, we made scenery on the interactive whiteboard (IWB) and I then uploaded their photos to Photo Peach to create a new slideshow.
Tomorrow some other classes might suggest extra captions and ideas.
And yes, Jack is a wolf in sheep's clothing. In a tree.

Trajan Sundance (CN) – Sun's beauty has proven to be more than skin deep as he maintains his willing attitude even after running as herd sire for 2 years. Sun spent 60 days with a trainer who convinced the owner Sun is too valuable as a Stud to turn into a gelding for riding. While Sun's attitude with the trainer was positive he non-the-less demonstrated his stallion characteristics and periodically wanted to go find the mares rather than listen to his rider. Nick, Sun's owner felt he did not want to have to display his leadership abilities to the extent a stallion would require and so gelded him and Sun has now moved to a new home.

Killington has set up plans for a better future while reducing municipal taxes
I would like to reply to Richard Kropp's letter to the editor from June 17. Mr. Kropp suggests our town is not using the options tax money to reduce taxes as Rutland Town does and questions the golf course debt, as well as the repair and maintenance of assets such as the pool and the golf course.
Let me address "Where does the money go?"
First a bit of history: The town of Killington was hit particularly hard by Acts 60 and 68, which increased the school portion of the property tax from about 35 cents to almost $2 over the course of 20 years. The municipal portion of the tax averaged more than 38 cents each year from 1994 until 1999. Once the full effect of that state school tax started to rise, the town, in an effort to offset, reduced the municipal tax to an average of 30 cents. As a result, capital contributions remained flat or were reduced, the golf course debt remained flat, instead of being reduced, and infrastructure projects and maintenance projects were put off.
In 2008 the town voted to create an options tax (1 percent additional on rooms, meals and alcohol, and sales, of which, per statute, the town receives 70-75 percent and the state gets the remainder) to use exclusively for economic development. In 2011, at Bernie Rome's behest, the town then voted to put the options tax in the General Fund to be used to reduce our tax burden. We are no different than Rutland Town, that money is used to offset costs, which in effect, reduces our taxes (while maintaining and improving our infrastructure and making our town a more attractive place to live).
I did not originally support Bernie Rome's suggestion of putting the options tax into the General Fund. I feared we would no longer invest in economic development. In the end though, once the town voted, I believed in moving forward and working with that decision. It has allowed us, as a town, to invest in economic development, replenish infrastructure, improve capital funds, and make capital plans that look 15-20 years ahead while still keep the tax rate in the 30 cent area, 20 percent lower than the latter half of the 1990s. In other words it reduces our tax burden by over 7 cents while still providing economic development through events, marketing and infrastructure.
As a board we are often questioned about consulting fees and studies. We do those studies to have comprehensive plans so money isn't wasted and we spend the town's money wisely. Often a majority of those studies are funded largely by grants, so we only have to pay a small percentage of the cost. After all, you wouldn't build a house without good comprehensive plans, and the board feels we should have good knowledge and plans before we spend the town's money on major projects.
As to the golf debt: The total debt owed on the course at the end of 2010 totaled approximately $5,150,000. By the end of 2014, that debt was reduced to $3,455,000. That is a considerable reduction which is neither "never ending" nor out of control. Since 2011 the board has instituted a citizen golf committee, which in conjunction with the management of the golf course, created a strong capital plan to deal with upgrades and long-term maintenance. Our golf course is in better shape than most of the courses in Vermont! Capital plans have also been increased for the pool, recreation areas, library, roads as well as other departments to ensure we are prepared for the future. This benefits citizens every bit as much as businesses and sometimes more.
Not everything is perfect; we still have many challenges in the future. But, the improvements financially, infrastructure-wise, economically and in planning for the future have been considerable. We will continue to put our efforts into solving these issues in a manner that balances the diverse needs of the taxpayers of the town.
It saddens me to see people using the same old buzzwords (golf course debt, high taxes, no planning) to infer the town has dire problems, when in fact these issues are showing good and significant progress.
As always, you can reach me at email at pjm22@icloud.com or contact our Town Manager Seth Webb at sethwebb@killingtontown.com.
This letter is based on my impressions of the matters before the town and are not approved of, nor been reviewed by the full board.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Patty McGrath, Killington Selectboard Chair
Dear EditorKillingtonKillington has set up plans for a better future while reducing municipal taxesKillington Selectboard ChairPatty McGrath
One comment on "Killington has set up plans for a better future while reducing municipal taxes"
Jim Haff says:
Patty:
What really saddens me is that somehow you think that just because the Municipal
property tax rate have gone down that property taxes have gone down.
2014 Municipal tax rate of .2959 with a grand list value of 7,901,323.15 which raised 2,337,987.03
1996 Municipal tax rate of .38 with a grand list value of 4,006,705.85 which raised 1,547,161.30
so the municipal tax rate went down yet the grand list doubled which increased tax receipts from just
the grand list some 790,825.73.
So please tell me you really don't think that we lowered our tax rate to offset the tax increase from
the education tax bill. Looks to me that since 1996 taxes funded by the grand list have increased
some 790,825.73 .

Europe asbestos gloves market holds a significant share in the global industry share. Globally, Russia is the largest producer of asbestos material accounting for 53% of the overall production in 2016. However, European Union will witness sluggish industry growth due to restrictive standards on product usage particularly in Denmark, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.Asia Pacific asbestos gloves market is expected to witness substantial growth in forecast period.
Abundant presence of mining reserves particularly in China and Kazakhstan will support business growth. Rapid industrialization has enhanced safety gears demand particularly in China, India, Japan and Taiwan. Increasing number of manufacturing facilities with furnace and incidences of high temperature material handling will further propel industry demand.

DNTV Special Coverage
COBERTURA ESPECIAL - Russia Docs - Weapons
September 21, 2015 - 09:00 ( Brasília )
Russia – Maneuver Center-2015 involved 95 thousand servicemen
According to the training plan of the Russian Federation Armed Forces, strategic command-and-staff exercise Center-2015 was conducted under the leadership of the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia – First Deputy Defence Minister on September 14-20, 2015.
Military administrative bodies, Central MD troops, the Caspian flotilla, the Airborne Troops, long-range and military transport aviation as well as control bodies and units of the Ministry of internal Affairs, EMERCOM, Federal Security Service, Federal Protective Service and Federal Drug Control Service of Russia, operational group and units of the Armed Forces of Kazakhstan, making part of the CSTO Collective Rapid Reaction Force, participated in the exercise.
In the course of the Center-2015, the readiness and capability of the military administrative bodies of the CSTO member-states to localize international armed conflicts and block illegal armed groups was checked.
Moreover, the military administrative bodies of the CSTO practiced algorithms of special operations.
Practical stages of the Center-2015 exercise took place at more than 20 military land, sea and aviation ranges of the Central and Southern MDs.
Within the exercise, mobilization readiness of troops and their deployment were checked and practiced on the territories of Bashkortostan, the Novosibirsk, Samara and Chelyabinsk Regions.
During the unannounced combat readiness inspection, troops were projected at large distances, for instance, formations of the 41st Central MD Army were projected from Novosibirsk to the Orenburg Region and the 2nd Central MD Army – from Samara to the Astrakhan Region. Long marches of up to 5 thousand kilometers were carried out in the shortest time limits.
Aviation of the Military Districts, redeployed at central MD airfields, performed flights at over 6 thousand kilometers.
The strategic command-and-staff exercise Center-2015 is the final phase within the complex of operational and combat training activities of the Russian Federation Armed Forces in 2015 as well as of the joint combat training activities of the Armed Forces of the CSTO member-states.
The exercise involved over 95 thousand servicemen, more than 7 000 pieces of armament and military equipment, up to 170 aircraft and 20 ships. On the European part of Russia – at the ranges Totsky and Donguzsky – up to 12 thousand servicemen, up to 470 combat vehicles, about 90 tanks, up to 250 infantry fighting vehicles, up to 130 armoured personnel carriers as well as about 220 artillery systems and multiple launch rocket systems.
Military-Industrial Commission
The Supreme Commander got acquainted not only with the new models of military equipment, but also communicated with the young officers who ran this technique during the exercise. Then, during a meeting of the Military-Industrial Commission, he put a task before the manufacturers of the equipment and the weapons, RIA Novosti reports.
Starting the meeting of the Military-Industrial Commission, Vladimir Putin congratulated the employees of the defense sector on Gunsmith's Day and wished them new achievements: "I want to appeal to those who work in the defense industry. I want to congratulate all of you who are present here, and all of your employees, workers, engineers and organizers of production on Gunsmith's Day. I wish you new achievements and all the best," Putin said.
Speaking about the challenges facing the country's defense industry employees, the president demanded to supply the financial stability of the enterprises of the military-industrial complex of Russia in conditions of adverse changes in the key macroeconomic indicators. In order to strengthen their economic situation there is a need to attract additional investment, the president said.
"An important task is to ensure the financial stability of the defense enterprises," Putin said, adding that the long-term programs within the framework of the state program of armaments are to determine the fixed prices which shall not be changed during the execution of tasks. The value of the real rate of inflation is determined only at the end of the year, when the obligations under the state contracts are to be fulfilled, the president said.
"However, if an adverse change in the key macroeconomic indicators occurs, the company gets into a difficult situation. They lose profit that could be spent on development, difficulties with budgetary planning appear. In this regard, you need to develop approaches to ensure balanced financing of the government contracts. I emphasize, strictly within the allocated resources," the head of state said.
"It is clear that the rate is changing, and the money has a different appearance, but we do not need paper records, we need, as you often say, things 'made in metal and coming into service,'' the commander-in-chief continued.

Last week Republican Senator Mark Kirk said that the citizens of Chicago should "re-elect Rahm or Chicago could end up like Detroit." Now the on the surface the comment seems to just imply that for whatever reason Senator Kirk believes that Rahm Emanuel will be more able to help with our city's finances than his challenger Chuy Garcia. It is odd that Senator Kirk believes this, because since Mayor Emanuel took over our city's bond rating has dropped five times. Clearly the mayor is great at raising money for his own re-election campaign, but raising money to help the city... not so much.
So let's go a little deeper into Mark Kirk's comments threatening that if Garcia is elected Chicago will become like Detroit.
My dad grew up in Detroit and, like many white Detroiters in the 1950s and 1960s, his family left the city during the time of " white flight" and moved to the suburbs. This white flight was caused by real estate agents and banks using a lot of scare tactics to convince white home owners to sell their homes quickly and cheaply because "the blacks" were moving in. Then these same real estate agents and banks would jack up the housing costs and sell these same homes to black families. This tactic eventually was made illegal, but not before it radically altered the housing landscape in Detroit and elsewhere.
Detroit had it rough from the 1960s onward and only until very recently are things slowly starting to turn around. There were riots in the 1960s, job loss in the 1970s by the Big Three (Ford, Chrysler and GM) decided to close factories to find cheaper work forces so they could maximize their profits, with no regard for the people they employed. Without a strong economic base the 1980s-2000s were tough. Detroit had issues with drugs, poverty and crime. Crime became such an issue that every year the night before Halloween called Devil's Night, vacant homes would be light on fire and burned. The 1980s movie Robocop was based on Detroit crime.
To many white people living in suburban Detroit, the name became synonymous with all of these societal issues. Many white people became afraid to go into the city at all or only go to certain parts.
This is the issue with Sentator Kirk's comment. On the surface it seems like a just falsely mistaken economic threat, but under the surface lies a much more sinister comment. One that implies that if Garcia someone who is Latino is elected, Chicago will have big challenges, because he isn't qualified for such complex things as improving the economy.
Implications that certain races aren't qualified enough date back to the eugenics movement used in the US to claim only certain groups of people (i.e. white) were intelligent enough for certain jobs or privileges. This idea of eugenics also led to the creation of what we now call " standardized tests" that were supposed to measure intelligence. This eugenics idea was so wildly popular that Hitler himself and Nazi Germany picked up on this idea.
Senator Kirk's fear tactics shouldn't come as a shock either, because Republicans have a history of these type of comments. In 2012 there were enough racist comments said by prominent Republicans that a three minute video compilation was made. These comments were said by people like Newt Gingrich, Michelle Bachman, Rick Santorium, Mitt Romney and Tram Hudson. This video is titled "Sh*t Republicans Say About Black People" and you can watch it below.
In 2012 a group of TEAM Englewood High School poets, coached by Missy Hughes and myself, came across that video and were very upset about it. The students decided to write a poetic response to the Republicans in the video. They titled it "What Black Poets Say to Racist Republicans." Have a look.
Clearly Senator Kirk and Governor Rauner want Rahm in office and will use fear tactics to try to make this happen.
But now, Chicago, it is our turn to have a response to Senator Kirk and this new round of outdated racist comments, like how the TEAM Englewood poets responded to the Republican comments in 2012.
The answer is much simpler than a choreographed and researched poetic response. We do this by going to the voting both on April 7th and voting Rahm out!

Art and refugees in Calais
A volunteer's job in Calais is to make tonight as good as it can be for the people abandoned there, and add some joy and comfort to a harsh day. But sometimes something suddenly happens – maybe just a short, heartbreaking moment – to make you stop and remember the reality of their lives.
That happened to me one day. I was helping at a distribution at the Old Lidl site in Calais, where we'd been giving out tents and blankets.
Old Lidl is striking because you can see the lorries in the parking area from where the tents are. It's a stark reminder of why the refugees are there. I was at the hairdressing station with some guys chatting and having a laugh over a cup of tea, when they started joking about how hard it was to get on the lorries, and how they'd be trying to get on one that night.
Then one young guy, Ahmed, just said, "Yeah, you know last week my friend was trying to get on a lorry. But he was killed as he climbed on."
It was a horrific thing to hear out of the blue, but that's the reality people face here, and it can be easy to forget. It shocked me to think that any of the guys could be killed that night. And it made me realise how precarious their lives are.
I had another similar experience too. The refugees were so sociable and friendly, and I was chatting with a guy called Khalid about DJ Khalid when he casually mentioned spending four days in a boat on the Mediterranean Sea. "The engine stopped," he said. " I didn't think I would make it."
This is normal conversation in Calais.
I remember that even though everyone was so friendly, there was a police van sitting there watching. A threat looking over us. Huge men clad in black riot gear watching a camp of young, unarmed Eritreans who were doing no one any harm at all. In fact there were breast feeding mothers in the camp just looking after their children the best they could.
There were also moments when I was moved by the positivity and strength. Helping with the hairdressing was my favourite activity, and I noticed how, in the middle of a field with no showers or hot water, the men took such care and pride in their appearance.
I loved watching the transformation, it was seamlessly beautiful work, sometimes done with a simple razor blade held in a comb or in the fingers of a friend. After the hair, nails and beards were trimmed and cleaned. The service is so appreciated. I found it really striking that a man with nowhere to sleep that night felt his appearance mattered.
Volunteering with Care4Calais is easy. Everything was beautifully put together, everything runs smoothly. It was great working with the other volunteers, so many nationalities and people from all walks of life. But everyone had a 'can do' attitude, and a sense of humour so we worked so well as a team. It was also great to see the charity in touch with everyone else there in Calais and working together to make life better for the refugees.
I was knackered when I got back to Cornwall, where I live. It's really hard work but very refreshing. Soon after I got back I went to see a play with my mum. It wasn't an especially sad play but I found myself crying through the play. I think that was some of the emotion I'd suppressed while I was in Calais, finding a way out. I think it really hits you when you are on the ferry back.
At home I'm an artist, using paint and sculpture as the media of my work. I wanted to make art that gave some sort of meaning to what is going on in Calais. But once I was there, there was so much to take in that my ideas of creating art went out the window. I will have to think about it and let the ideas percolate now I'm back. The picture you can see here is a work in progress, based on people I saw when I was volunteering.
But I know I will go back to volunteer again.

"A Treasury of Endemic Fauna of Mauritius and Rodrigues"
In 2009 Ria Winters visited Mauritius on behalf of the Artists for Conservation Foundation (AFC) with the goal to render and portray the endemic wildlife. The journey resulted in a body of work of more than thirty paintings and hundreds of photographs. Two and a half years later the Blue Penny Museum in Port Louis organised an exhibition with the theme "The last gong for the Dugong" showing paintings, sculptures and antique books of extinct and endangered species of the Mascarene islands. Together with the exhibition the book "A Treasury of Endemic Fauna of Mauritius and Rodrigues" was launched. The book is both a catalogue of the paintings shown in the exhibition as well as a personal view of the artist on the local wildlife.

Agile DCI: The Key to the Data Center Operator (DCO) Market
Mitch Simcoe
Director of Global Consulting at Ciena
As enterprises are seeing the benefits of the cloud, they are just beginning to move their IT resources to both multi-tenant and public clouds. As this trend accelerates, Data Center Interconnect (DCI) services will grow exponentially. To meet the requirements of that growth, Data Center Operators (DCO)s will need to deliver a DCI service with maximum flexibility to transfer data to cloud data centers, rapidly provision DCI services in days, and provide connectivity on demand.
If you're working in Data Center Interconnect (DCI) services, then opportunity is about to come knocking. It's all thanks to the growth currently experienced by DC Operators (DCOs), both in size and scope.
When you look at the data centers around the world, it's DCOs like Equinix and Telecity that represent the largest group (>50%). That's a significant share of the market, one that's expected to continue expanding as Communications Service Providers (CSPs) sell off their data center assets to the DCOs.
Source: Ovum Global Data Center Analyzer 2Q-16
DCOs, also known as Carrier Neutral Providers (CNPs), are in the business of selling core space, power, and cross-connects to enterprises that wish to deploy IT resources outside of their private data centers. From a DCI point of view, the challenge for CNPs is the time it takes the Managed Service Providers (MSP) to provide connectivity, which is often months. For each additional month an MSP takes to deploy DCI services, the CNPs can lose $100Ks in revenue.
Today's Challenges for Regional DCI
DCOs face several challenges when offering DCI services across metro areas, with typical networks operating at 1 Gbps or less and often based on IP/MPLS.
For example, if an enterprise in DC 1 wanted to backup 3 Tbs of content (the typical daily backup for a large enterprise) to a regional DC in a second metro, it would take over eight hours at <1 Gbps speeds. That kind of timeframe poses problems, as the enterprise's data continues to change even during the backup. By the time the daily backup finished, the customer's data would already be outdated.
So how can we address the limitations of today's IP-based DCI networks?
By using a Data Center Connect Fabric Service, we can optimize our networks to meet DCI's high performance application demands. A Data Center Connect Fabric Service:
Provides any-to-any connectivity between data centers on the fabric, whether within the same metro or across metros;
Offers direct connectivity to multiple public cloud services, such as Google, Microsoft, or Amazon;
Rapidly turns-up service within days;
Offers on-demand bandwidth from 1, 10, 40, and 100Gbps; and
Uses low latency and in-flight encryption to meet performance and security concerns.
Delivering Profitable DCI Services
The Benefits to DCOs and Enterprises
By using a Data Center Connect Fabric Service, DCOs experience revenue acceleration. Their customers' connectivity needs can be addressed in days, a timeframe that aligns with the DCO's internal mandate for turning up new data center core space, power, and cross-connect capabilities.
Additionally, on-demand bandwidth can now enable new, agile data center services that only need periodic DCI capabilities, such as business continuity and disaster recovery, or the Public Cloud data migration example previously cited.
Lead Applications for Data Center Connect Fabric
DCOs also want their customers to have access to connectivity via a self-serve portal where burstable DCI services can be activated on demand to address short-term applications such as data backup, disaster recovery, or data migration. These DCI applications demand the high-bandwidth, low-latency performance characteristics of the Data Center Connect Fabric:
Offsite data backup – Includes high bandwidth for recurring off-hour backups and active-active data storage replication traffic.
Disaster recovery – After a disaster has occurred, an enterprise must transfer all of its content from its backup location to its production environment. Similar to data migration, this content can be in the tens of Tbs and requires a high-bandwidth and high-performance DCI network to restore customer data.
Data migration – As enterprises shift more of their IT resources to cloud data centers, they need to migrate their full dataset to initiate their presence. For a large enterprise, this can be in the tens of Tbs; using traditional <1 Gbps links to upload this much content to the cloud would require weeks. By leveraging an on-demand 10 Gbps (or more) connection via the Data Center Connect Fabric, could reduce this time to under an hour.
We're at the very beginning of the adoption curve for enterprises to move their IT resources to both multi-tenant and public clouds. As this trend accelerates, DCI connectivity from enterprise data centers and between cloud data centers will grow accordingly. Therefore, to meet these requirements, DCOs need to deliver a DCI service with the maximum flexibility needed to transfer data to cloud data centers, the capability to rapidly provision DCI services in days, and the ability to provide connectivity on demand.

La ventottesima spedizione antartica sovietica si svolse dal 1982 al 1984 sotto la direzione di N. Kornilov e A. Artemyev. A questa spedizione parteciparono anche studiosi della Repubblica Democratica Tedesca, allora alleata dell'Unione Sovietica.

Anche se la Repubblica Democratica Tedesca non aveva firmato il Trattato Antartico e non poteva pertanto costruire una stazione di ricerca in Antartide, i suoi scienziati poterono tuttavia operare da una struttura situata in prossimità della Stazione Novolazarevskaya costruita dai sovietici.

Attività di ricerca
Nel 1983, sei scienziati tedesco-orientali si aggiunsero ai membri russi della spedizione per svolgere ricerche di:
 meteorologia
 fisica dell'alta atmosfera
 geologia
 geofisica.

A powerful personal testimony, "One of our Ain" is based on true events. The award winning Sandra Brown OBE and former Scotswoman of the Year tells her amazing story of growing up in the small 1950's Scottish town of Coatbridge- a community profoundly affected by the disappearance of a little girl, Moira Anderson.
In what has been described as groundbreaking theatre, in a unique performance Sandra shares with the audience a superbly evoked portrayal of her childhood, and the pain of confronting her father's behaviour. Derived from her UK and European bestseller "Where There is Evil" Sandra's story of how she came to be convinced of her own father's part in a child's abduction and murder cannot fail to touch all who see it. The one woman play hurtles from glimpses of humour which are typically Scottish, to gutwrenching revelations that bring gasps.

Q: Dependency injection with Unit of Work pattern I'm trying to implement unit of work pattern for my repositories in C#/.NET. My plan is to give UoW as a parameter to repositories. Here's an example how it could be used:
using (var uow = new UnitOfWork())
{
    var itemRepository = new ItemRepository(uow);
    itemRepository.Add(new Item());
    uow.Commit();
}

Also, for simple operations (when transactions are not needed) repositories should be able to be used without Unit of Work:
var itemRepository = new ItemRepository();
var item = itemRepository.Get(itemId);

UnitOfWork/Repository could get a database connection from ConnectionFactory. Connection factory receives connection options via dependency injection. However, here's my problem: How do repositories get reference to ConnectionFactory instance? Repositories are created manually, so they can't have dependencies injected via constructor. One option would be to have repository factories, which could have their dependencies injected. In that case usage could be like this:
using (var uow = new UnitOfWork())
{
    var itemRepository = itemRepositoryFactory.Create(uow);
    itemRepository.Add(new Item());
    uow.Commit();
}

The drawback in that solution is that each repository will need its own factory, and there will be quite many. Are there any other solutions to circumvent this problem?

A: I would definitely register the UOW as a scoped dependency.
Scoped dependencies live for the lifetime of the container that creates them. Typically, frameworks would generate a child container from the parent container in order to execute some piece of work. For example, ASP.NET Core spawns a child container for a request and then disposes it when the request is finished. This would mean that the UOW instance that is getting injected is the same instance throughout the object graph for that request only.
You can also create your own scopes, if needed. I have done this twice for example:

*

*A job scheduler, so that each job ran in it's own scope

*A message handler, so that each message was processed in its own scope

This is how you would achieve this using Microsoft's DI  framework:
var collection = new ServiceCollection();
collection.AddScoped<IUnitOfWork, UnitOfWork>();

var provider = collection.BuildServiceProvider();

var puow = provider.GetRequiredService<IUnitOfWork>();

for(int i = 0; i < 2; i++)
{
    //Create the new scope
    using var childContainer = provider.CreateScope();

    //IUnitOfWork will be a singleton instance in this scope.
    var c1uow = childContainer.ServiceProvider.GetRequiredService<IUnitOfWork>();
    var c2uow =  childContainer.ServiceProvider.GetRequiredService<IUnitOfWork>();
    // This should true, since they come from the same scope.
    var sameScope = c1uow == c2uow;

    //With the requested IUnitOfWork from provider instead, it would be a different instance
    //Therefore, this should be false
    var diffScope = puow == c1uow;
}

This would allow you to simply inject IUnitOfWork into each repo, without having to create a factory for each repo.
This would work out of the box if you are writing an application in ASP.NET Core. Simply register the dependency as scope, as so
collection.AddScoped<IUnitOfWork, UnitOfWork>();

and then have it injected into the repos that you need. You don't have to worry about creating a new scope since the framework does that for you for each http request that the application receives.
I would really recommend reading Mark Seemann's book "Dependency Injection Principles, Practices, and Patterns". It really goes in depth about what dependency injection is and how it works. Not only that, I find him to be a great writer.

Douglas Adams' translating fish is inspiring researchers.
One of Facebook's biggest technology goals is also one of the biggest in computing: How can a real-life human person speak to a device like Amazon Echo and get a logical answer in return?
Even the first half of that question requires something akin to the babel fish, a creature in Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that translates any noises into the host's native tongue.
Part of reaching this goal is about creating a machine that understands humans effortlessly, much like the babel fish starts translating by just slipping inside the host's ear.
Think of all the varieties of ways to say something, and the number of possibilities involved, and the task becomes mind-bogglingly huge. Speech-to-text automatic speech recognition (ASR) takes up somewhere around 20 to 50 million parameters, while a translation system can take up more than 100 million parameters.
A lot of data needs a lot of power to crunch through and understand. ASR networks take 20 to 50 exaflops of computing power for training. A flop is a measure of how many floating point calculations per second a computer can handle, and an exaflop is a quintillion flops. In other words, these networks require a large amount of computing power, and on today's hardware it means training runs take around a few months.
"We're seeing a revival of this high-performance computing, powered by GPUs, just to train these centers," Sengupta said.
Graphics processors, or GPUs, are good at completing multiple calculations at once instead of working through them in sequence, making them ideal for such tasks. GPU maker Nvidia has shined in recent years due to this. Where it dominated the nineties by offering realistic video game graphics, it's found a new use by offering its computer chips for training artificial intelligence networks. At the 2016 Consumer Electronics Show, the company unveiled the Drive PX2 chip, designed specifically for powering A.I. inside cars, with around eight teraflops of power.
Advancements are also coming from the software side. In February, Baidu Research unveiled the Deep Voice text-to-speech system, which uses new techniques to syntesize audio from inputted text 400 times faster than previous systems. There's a long way to go, though.
"Translation is the single biggest network for any large internet company," Sengupta said.


Commonly used on Bridgeport-type milling machines from Taiwan.
Question: Is the oil outputted when the handle is pulled or when it's returning?
Answer: Lubrication oil is released when the handle is pulled.

We've become so accustomed to all of these infections that we take it for granted and that it's all perfectly normal.
Nothing could be further form the truth! We aren't supposed to get sick or to be depressed. That's not in God's perfect design for life on this planet.
The overuse of antibiotics has made the problem far worse! Last year, we wrote an in-depth report on this topic. If you missed it, read my article, What's for dinner – Antibiotics!.
Sitting where I do, the news gets grimmer each day. So many people are sick as a dog, or worse they are in a dire fight for their life.
