Q: Getting a Key Error 'gs' when trying to write a dask dataframe to csv on google cloud storage I have the following code below where I'm 1) importing a csv file from a gcs bucket 2) doing some etl on it and 3) converting it to dask df before writing the dask df to_csv.  All goes to plan until the very end when I get a KeyError: 'gs' upon writing to csv back in a gcs bucket.

A: gcsfs and dask has recently changed to use the fsspec package. The former has been released, but the latter is in master only. So gcsfs is no longer registering itself with the filesystems in dask, because fsspec already knows about it, but the version of dask you are using does not yet know about fsspec.
In short, please downgrade gcsfs until we have a chance to release dask, or use dask from master.

B2B data protection laws and regulations: What revenue teams need to know in 2022
B2B data protection laws change as data collection advances. Learn the 6 data protection laws so you can ensure you avoid big fines and even jail time.
João Victor Silva
Did you know that a data breach at Apollo.io exposed more than 125 million email addresses and 9 billion data points in 2018 in one of the largest security breaches to date?
As more data is available online than ever before, data breaches like the one at Apollo.io are becoming more common. These data breaches not only lead to damaged brand reputations and broken trust, but they can also result in big fines as more countries begin to implement strict data compliance laws.
If you're working within sales and revenue operations at a B2B organization, it's essential to understand these six B2B data protection laws and regulations so that you stay on the right side of the law.
The past few decades have drastically changed the ways user data is collected and distributed, with advanced technology that searches for and collects sensitive data at unprecedented scale and speed.
As more consumers have become aware of how their personal information is shared online, there's been an uptick in global data protection laws and regulations. And now, B2B companies must proceed with caution when it comes to collecting user data.
From Amazon and Apple to Google and Apollo.io, countless companies have faced heavy regulatory fines due to compliance issues, such as widespread data breaches and the improper collection of consumer data. In response, countries worldwide have enforced various data compliance laws to ensure B2B companies only use data that has been given with consent.
Here are the six B2B data protection laws and regulations to be aware of in 2022, along with the dangers of failing to comply.
1. SOC-2
Service Organization Control 2, better known as SOC-2, is a voluntary compliance standard used to demonstrate how B2B companies should securely manage customer data. Created by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), SOC 2 compliance requirements are based on five trust services components:
Processing integrity
To gauge current compliance levels, a certified public accountant (CPA) or accounting firm performs a SOC audit with a Type I and Type II report.
A Type I report details a company's current data systems and if the design complies with the five trust services components.
A Type II report details the operational efficiency of these data systems to help identify any potential update needs.
While you don't have to be SOC-2 compliant, it has become a standard practice for enterprise software companies, like UserGems, or companies that sell to enterprise organizations.
READ MORE: See how we stack up against Apollo.io
That's because complying with established SOC-2 regulations can demonstrate an organization's high level of data security and prove sensitive customer information is handled properly.
What happens if you don't comply with SOC-2 regulations?
Failing to comply with the various trust services components not only demonstrates a company's lack of proper data handling to outside organizations but can also induce complications when it comes time for the SOC-2 audit.
2. GDPR
Established by the European Union (EU) in May 2018, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) built on the EU's previous data protection framework to become the world's toughest security and privacy law.
Though based out of the EU, GDPR regulations can be imposed on any company across the globe if they target or collect customer data from individuals residing in the European Union. Generally speaking, the role of GDPR is to provide EU citizens more control over their personal data.
There are numerous compliance requirements that ensure companies legally gather data with explicit permission, such as the use of permission requests on websites, as well as the adoption of security measures to protect collected data from unlawful misuse and data breaches.
What happens if you don't comply with GDPR?
For enterprises using EU citizen customer data, failing to properly comply with GDPR restrictions holds some of the harshest fines across any data privacy regulation.
In fact, those who violate standards established under GDPR can not only face fines of up to €20 million or 4% of their global revenue, but customers affected by the violations can also seek compensation for damages as well.
In fact, several corporations have already been slapped with GDPR fines much larger than €20 million Euros, including:
Amazon: €746 million (~$804 million USD)
Whatsapp: €225 million (~$242 million USD)
Google: €50 million (~$53 million USD)
H&M: €35 million (~$37 million USD)
TIM: €27.8 million (~$29 million USD)
3. CAN-SPAM
Back in 2003, the U.S. Congress passed the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act (CAN-SPAM Act) to address the ongoing issue of unrequested emails. For B2B companies who use email marketing strategies, these regulations require marketers to:
Adhere to specific commercial email rules
Follow message layout requirements
Provide recipients with the right to opt out of emails via an unsubscribe link
Messaging covered under this law includes "any electronic mail message the primary purpose of which is the commercial advertisement or promotion of a commercial product or service."
CAN-SPAM's core regulation requirements include but are not limited to:
Identifying a message as an ad
Quickly honoring opt-out requests
Avoiding false or misleading subject lines
Providing recipients with the company's physical location
What happens if you don't comply with CAN-SPAM?
For B2B enterprises utilizing robust email communications, strict compliance with these various requirements must remain a heavy focus. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), each separate email violation is subject to a fine of up to $46,517 under the CAN-SPAM Act.
In rare cases, the most egregious violators can even be sentenced to up to 3 years of jail time in federal prisons.
What is data-driven customer success and why it matters for revenue growth
4. CASL
In 2014, the Canadian government enacted the Canadian Anti-Spam Law (CASL), affecting any business that sends commercial electronic messages to a Canadian resident.
Similar to regulations established under CAN-SPAM, CASL strictly regulates unsolicited email communications by establishing message requirements and the opportunity for recipients to unsubscribe from a sender's email list.
However, unlike CAN-SPAM legislation that requires businesses to include an option to opt-out of commercial electronic communications, CASL requires businesses to first request consumers to opt in.
A B2B company that uses customer contact information to send commercial emails to Canadian residents must gain verbal or electronic confirmation from the recipients before they are allowed to send them marketing emails.
What happens if you don't comply with CASL?
If found in violation of CASL, an administrative monetary penalty (AMP) may be enforced of up to $1 million CAD for individuals and up to $10 million CAD for businesses.
With some of the harshest fines and penalties established under any customer data regulation worldwide, it's crucial for a company to fully understand its responsibilities when it comes to CASL before communicating with Canadian customers.
5. CCPA
Specific to California residents, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) was established in 2018 to give consumers enhanced control over the personal information sought after by businesses.
Under this legislation, a California resident may ask a business to disclose the personal information they have regarding them, inquire what they do with this information, or ask them to delete or refrain from selling their data.
Personal information covered under the CCPA includes:
Transaction records
Internet browsing history
What happens if I don't comply with CCPA?
Companies that fail to comply with the CCPA can face maximum penalties of $7,500 USD for intentional violations and $2,500 USD for unintentional violations. Failing to comply with CCPA also runs the risk of costly consumer lawsuits that seek damage reimbursements following a data breach in which the business was at fault.
6. PDPA
The Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) was established by the Singapore government in 2012 to create a baseline for the protection of local consumer data.
This act goes hand-in-hand with various Singapore legislative frameworks, including the Insurance Act and the Banking Act. PDPA enforces various compliance requirements for businesses regarding the collection, use, and distribution of Singapore residents' personal data.
These requirements include the need to establish security measures that protect data and a transfer limitation obligation that restricts Singapore residents' data from being transferred outside the country.
Furthermore, the PDPA also created the National Do Not Call Registry to protect the personal contact information of those who registered to be excluded from businesses' that conduct telemarketing efforts.
What happens if I don't comply with PDPA?
Companies that fail to comply with the PDPA can face fines of up to 1 million SGD ($724,853 USD) or 10% of a company's annual revenue if it exceeds 10 million SGD.
The shortest guide to B2B data compliance and security
Complying with data protection laws in 2022
Every B2B business must remain cognizant of both national and international data protection laws if they want to avoid damaging their brand's reputation, costly fines, and — in the most egregious cases — jail time.
This not only applies to your own data but also to any data aggregator vendors you rely on for sourcing or enriching data. That's why it is best to use a fully SOC-2, GDPR and CCPA compliant company like UserGems.

Maintaining the links
The British Foreign Office is reclaiming one of its own from a position of influence in the European Commission. Alex Ellis, a member of the private office of José Manuel Barroso, president of the European Commission, is to be the next British ambassador to Portugal, from September. When he joined the president's team back in 2004 he was well placed to build bridges between Barroso and London: he had worked in the UK's permanent representation to the EU as an antici, one of those who prepare the meetings of the ambassadors. He had been brought there by Stephen Wall, the UK's permanent representative to the EU, for whom he had worked when Wall was the British ambassador in Lisbon. In the Barroso cabinet, Ellis got to shape energy policy, which was something of a triumph for a Blair government that had only belatedly come round to the merits of a common EU energy policy.
The British government clearly does not like the idea of losing a link with Barroso – and perhaps the feeling is mutual. So Ellis is to be replaced by another Briton: Matthew Baldwin, who used to work on trade at the UK permanent representation. In 1999 Baldwin became deputy head of the private office of Pascal Lamy. He returned to the trade department, becoming a head of unit, and is now working on EU relations with the World Trade Organization, where Lamy is the boss. Two questions: will Baldwin be as loyal to London as Ellis and is Baldwin going to learn Portuguese?

I was born in Winsford, Cheshire, in Northern England. I started classical ballet and tap aged just three, I eventually achieved distinctions in BBO ballet grade 7 and commendations for tap. It was a childhood dream of my Mums to have dance lessons, so all my family started ballroom dancing together when I was about 10, I was highly commended in IDTA Silver Ballroom, and achieved honours in Silver medal tests in Club and Latin dancing only missing out on my gold medals because I broke my foot just before the exam. I also enjoyed contemporary dance at High School to A level, I still like to choreograph and perform.
I joined Stagecoach Performing Arts at the age of six with my older brother, who was eight at the time, on Saturday mornings taking classes in acting, singing and dancing. I regularly performed in Musical Theatre productions with them in Northwich and Love to Dance, undertaking numerous chorus/cast performances and many fabulous opportunities in main roles such as Annie, Dorothy, Mary Poppins, and Nancy to mention just a handful of my favourites.
On entering High School I submitted a portfolio of my achievements in the "performing arts" and "maths" to NAGTY, the National Academy of Gifted and Talented Youth who invited me to become a member. One project at Leeds University with NAGTY involved designing sets, after studying the lyrics, and translating the libretto into English from Dvorak's opera 'Ruselka'. At 16 years of age I achieved 7 A*'s, 3 A grade GCSEs and 2 BTEC Distinction *s; as an enthusiastic pupil I went on to gain AS level Maths and top A grades in 'A level' Music, Drama*, Dance and a BTEC Distinction* in Music Theatre at Knutsford High School 6th Form in Cheshire. I was elected as a member of the school parliament by my peers and was an active participant in school life.
I discovered my love of opera and classical music at the age of eleven when I started singing lessons with Jayne Wilson GRNCM at High School. Coming from a non-musical family the power and emotion of these beautiful arias attracted me like a moth to a flame. At 16, with Jayne's advice and encouragement, I successfully auditioned at the Junior Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, receiving specialised musical training, principal study voice with Joy Naylor, passing ABRSM grade 8 vocal with distinction and a second study piano with Val Eastham passing grade 5 piano with Merit. I also took piano lessons and ABRSM music theory passing grade 5 with Distinction with Jan Bartai GTLC (Hon).
Jayne suggested entering a couple of classes in singing competitions from the age of 14 and I went on to compete successfully in several North West music festivals winning 54 awards in 12 competitions more than half of them first prizes, gratefully receiving lots of adjudication advise from many different experienced judges in order to improve and grow. In my last festival, before leaving home and commencing studies at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (RCS) in 2012 I won the Senior Division Singing Class in the Warrington Competition for Young Musicians.
Over the past few years this love and passion for the genre has grown and I'm very pleased with my conservatoire selected from my Undergraduate study offers because of their student centred learning; dance opportunities; cross discipline collaboration and their desire to teach healthy, sophisticated singing at the RCS in the heart of Glasgow, so that my dream of becoming a world class opera singer is hopefully one step closer thanks to the fabulous teaching and support across all departments. I commenced my BMus (Hons) programme in September 2012 studying voice with Kathleen McKellar Ferguson DRSAMD.
As I entered my second year at the conservatoire I was nominated to sing at the Kathleen Ferrier Bursary competition in Blackburn and was awarded the audience prize having won a coveted place in the final. In 2013, I went on to win 3rd prize in the Hugh S Roberton Scot Song Competition and in May 2014, was Highly Commended in the Jean Highgate scholarship, with a wonderful 3rd place in 'The Voice of the Future' at the Llangollen International Eisteddfod with over 25,000 Facebook likes for the televised final performance.
I sing as guest soloist with the fabulous Tideswell Male Voice Choir , during the past six years they have raised in excess of £100,000 to support local charities and various cancer related groups, with concerts raising funds for Help for Heroes; Macmillan Nurses etc. I have also performed to support many charity events such as: Youth Positive YP+; the North West Air Ambulance; the Rotary Club; Marie Curie Cancer Care at the Grosvenor Hotel, Chester and the St Mary's Neonatal Centre at the Countess of Chester Hospital.
Although my involvement in the performing arts took up most of my time sport also played a big part in my life I obtained my second dan black belt in Shukokai Karate, played netball and hockey at school and swam regularly with the Winsford Amateur Swimming Club for five years.
….Fabulous my dear friend Charlotte.
Ooo I don't know what I did to make this go out as a post. I was just going to add an update 😊. Thanks Mireya.
A great story of achievements through love of life and especially music. It is hard work but will pay off.
Did you scrap this post? I actually found it to be pretty good!
Btw, you will never hear a male tell you this in your life. You have great posture! Ha ha! How is THAT for a compliment?
Being a surfing coach, I zero in on how people align their bodies when doing tasks. In your photos doing martial arts, you had great form…You have to be able to move!
Yes I've got to get my Dad to sort out what I did, I was adding some photos, then updated and republished, I didn't want to republished until I finished 😊.
Thanks Steve, I think dance and karate are responsible for my posture I miss doing both activities a lot.
I see a lot of martial arts in other activities. Certain work out exercises, yoga poses, and other basic rules of sport. If you have the foundation down, you can transition to something else with less issues than your average Joe.
Well, hopefully you will get your post sorted out. I love digging up photos and putting them on my site. I do not like going through the process of scanning them…A major investment of time!
Talk to you later Charlotte!

Geochemical detectives use lab mimicry to look back in time
Washington, DC—New work from a research team led by Carnegie's Anat Shahar contains some unexpected findings about iron chemistry under high-pressure conditions, such as those likely found in the Earth's core, where iron predominates and creates our planet's life-shielding magnetic field. Their results, published in Science, could shed light on Earth's early days when the core was formed through a process called differentiation—when the denser materials, like iron, sunk inward toward the center, creating the layered composition the planet has today.
Earth formed from accreted matter surrounding the young Sun. Over time, the iron in this early planetary material moved inward, separating from the surrounding silicate. This process created the planet's iron core and silicate upper mantle. But much about this how this differentiation process occurred is still poorly understood, due to the technological impossibility of taking samples from the Earth's core to see which compounds exist there.
Seismic data show that in addition to iron, there are "lighter" elements present in the core, but which elements and in what concentrations they exist has been a matter of great debate. This is because as the iron moved inward toward the core, it interacted with various lighter elements to form different alloyed compounds, which were then carried along with the iron into the planet's depths.
Which elements iron bonded with during this time would have been determined by the surrounding conditions, including pressure and temperature. As a result, working backward and determining which iron alloy compounds were created during differentiation could tell scientists about the conditions on early Earth and about the planet's geochemical evolution.
The team—including Carnegie's Jinfu Shu and Yuming Xiao—decided to investigate this subject by researching how pressures mimicking the Earth's core would affect the composition of iron isotopes in various alloys of iron and light elements. Isotopes are versions of an element where the number of neutrons differs from the number of protons. (Each element contains a unique number of protons.)
Because of this accounting difference, isotopes' masses are not the same, which can sometimes cause small variations in how different isotopes of the same element are partitioned in, or are "picked up" by, either silicate or iron metal. Some isotopes are preferred by certain reactions, which results in an imbalance in the proportion of each isotope incorporated into the end products of these reactions—a process that can leave behind trace isotopic signatures in rocks. This phenomenon is called isotope fractionation and is crucial to the team's research.
Before now, pressure was not considered a critical variable affecting isotope fractionation. But Shahar and her team's research demonstrated that for iron, extreme pressure conditions do affect isotope fractionation.
More importantly, the team discovered that due to this high-pressure fractionation, reactions between iron and two of the light elements often considered likely to be present in the core—hydrogen and carbon—would have left behind an isotopic signature in the mantle silicate as they reacted with iron and sunk to the core. But this isotopic signature has not been found in samples of mantle rock, so scientists can exclude them from the list of potential light elements in the core.
Oxygen, on the other hand, would not have left an isotopic signature behind in the mantle, so it is still on the table. Likewise, other potential core light elements still need to be investigated, including silicon and sulfur.
"What does this mean? It means we are gaining a better understanding of our planet's chemical and physical history," Shahar explained. "Although Earth is our home, there is still so much about its interior that we don't understand. But evidence that extreme pressures affect how isotopes partition, in ways that we can see traces of in rock samples, is a huge step forward in learning about our planet's geochemical evolution."

Hello! It's a rare occasions for me to be reviewing on food. But I've recently found out that there's actually instant pasta in the market which I have never heard of.
I mean, pasta is already easy to make and cook. But now it's even easier to make with the existence of instant pasta. Master Pasto is made by Lioco Food Industries Sdn. Bhd. and it is based in Penang and most importantly it is certified Halal. If you're looking for ready to eat meal in Malaysia, here's another choice for you!
Master Pasto claimed that with the 3-Minute Wonder, and easy to prepare meal, you can have your the best spaghetti ready on the table.
So how does the 3-minutes wonder work?
1. Open up the box and there are 2 silver package that can resist high temperature, making it easy to reheat the pasta.
2. So there are 2 ways of reheating it.
Pour everything out on the plate, mix it well and microwave heat it.
Put the sauce and pasta silver packets into a boiling hot water pot and the pour it out and it's ready to serve.
Currently Master Pasto only serves 3 different flavours of pasta which are Bolognese, Carbonara and Aglio Olio. Hopefully they would have more choices in the future!
1. It is really easy to make, I find myself wanting to eat it whenever I'm feeling lazy at home and doesn't want to go out for food or to cook and wash the dishes.
2. The taste of the sauce was a little too salty for my preference, but the package claim that they are free of MSG. But it taste a little better once I've added a little bit of water in to heat with. Oh and also there are real minced meat in the sauce and mushrooms in it as well! They do use real ingredients for it.
3. The noodles are a little too undercooked in my opinion, unless you like your noodles adante which I'm not a big fan of. Otherwise just heat it longer than the suggested time to soften it more.
4. In conclusion it is a good substitution for instant noodles, at least it is healthier and is also fast and easy to prepare. Definitely a good souvenirs to buy in Malaysia if you're in the country.
You can head on to their website Master Pasto to find out more about the products!

Rudolf Balogh (1879–1944) – a pioneer of Hungarian photography – was a war correspondent for the Vasárnapi Újság, recording events of the World War. Many of his pictures are currently displayed by war museums in Berlin and Vienna. More than two thousand of his large glass negatives, panorama pictures and stereo photos from this era have been preserved by the Hungarian Photographic Museum.
The gallery below contains pictures we selected from the 1914 Fall issue of Vasárnapi Újság.

As your business grows, so does the importance of visibility across your business processes. Without it, you run the risk of compliance issues, poor quality data, and even losing market share. If you're interested in expanding your company, you might also be interested in this product offering. Our business management solutions can help you every step of the way. Get complete functionality from a single application with SAP Business One.
From business processes to analytics, this TEC Executive Brief offers tips for growth.
Against a backdrop of economic uncertainty and increasing global competition, small and midsize enterprises (SMEs) are rethinking ways of working, re-evaluating market opportunities, and building relationships that meet customers' expectations more closely.
Oxford Economics recently conducted a study of 2,100 SMEs in 21 countries. Entitled SMEs: Equipped to Compete, the study concludes that tough economic times have created more necessity to innovate and think globally. In fact, SMEs are not just behaving like multinationals – they are competing effectively against them.
To achieve this, SMEs are focusing on enterprise mobility as a key driver of innovation. One in four respondents said mobile working has paid off in terms of better customer service and product and service development. The survey findings also highlight a major shift in consumer expectations – they want a high quality, 24/7 experience across every channel and touch point.
The research also highlights a current focus on business analytics. This shows a commitment to technology as a platform for future expansion. In the study, over half of the respondents said that driving innovation, cost reductions, and efficiencies were their most immediate and important goals. Plus, over two-thirds believe they have the technology and capabilities to match large enterprises – defying common myths about SMEs being slow to adopt technology.
While the international arena may be dominated by large corporations, SMEs are effectively challenging these formidable rivals by forming alliances with suppliers and vendors and by collaborating via online business networks and platforms. And it's a strategy that's paying off, with more than two-thirds of both the largest and most profitable SMEs engaged in collaboration.
Nearly two-thirds strongly believe that technology helps them achieve longevity and sustainable growth. All of which indicates that technological advances are contributing to a more level playing field for businesses of every size.
Spotlight on: Cash Flow Management – Cash is King.
At your small or midsize company, you need the right amount of funds on hand at the right time to meet obligations. Cash is king – without it, you can't pay suppliers or cover payroll. Cash flow management is more than keeping the lights on. When it falls flat, so does your business. So what can you do to help drive positive cash flow? What are other businesses doing to keep up the momentum?
SAP® Business One provides complete financial accounting – including support for journal entries, accounts payable, accounts receivables, and banking – as well as cost accounting and budgeting, so you can ensure healthy cash flow.
SAP Business One gives you the tools you need to adequately handle payment terms, customer reminders, and cash collections. For example, the system can notify you of any pending payments and produce aging reports that analyze outstanding receivables and liabilities for both customers and vendors. SAP Business One also helps you track customers that haven't paid on invoices, and then issues automatic reminder letters based on payment delay and amount. You can automate receivables, invoicing, and cash reconciliation processes – all of which shorten order-to-cash cycles. And you can set up budgets in any currency, define allocation rules, track expenses against budget, and send alerts whenever budgets are exceeded.
In short, SAP Business One helps you manage payments, transactions, and expenses to better control your cash flow.


When the Jim Sammons TV gang heard that I'd ordered a Big Rig for my appearance on their show being taped in Panama, their reaction was a distinct silence… "What? You don't want a Cuda?" Panama's Pacific coast is as challenging as you can get with a combination of open seas as well as boiler rock territory that literally forces you and your kayak to use every paddling skill you have. Add winds, long paddling days, the need for speed and size of fish you are dealing with, the kayak you choose needs to be spot on. The final element to this decision is my experience level out in the ocean: basically nil!
The Big Rig was about to prove itself in a new environment and with a rookie ocean fisherman. It was time to put the Big Rig to the test and see how it can help a newby fish new waters.
First test was the paddle out. Day 1 was pretty clear, no wind, little chop, so a great chance to test the speed and tracking of the Big Rig. Off the three of us went, led by the strong paddling of Jim Sammons and Louisiana team member, Ben Roussel. With no wind, and JK designer Tony Lee's new hull design, the Big Rig easily kept up with the Cuda. A challenge because both Jim and Ben are great kayakers. The unique bow of the Rig turned water aside of its exaggerated hull width and cut through the current like butter. Once at the boiler rocks, the stability of the Big Rig took all of my fear away. With a constant shifting, reflecting and surging of water around the bays and rocks of the islands, stability is often something you need to deal with for most with a narrower hull. This kayak didn't have to worry bout that at all. Next challenge was the waves moving into the rocks, made complicated with us throwing large poppers into the froth at the shore. With the Big Rig I immediately found that the popper retrieval didn't bring me into the shore's danger zone as fast as the Cuda. The sheer size of the Big Rig was little effected by the poppers retrieval. The only issue I had to pay attention to was my back paddling. With the flat back end of the Rig, I had to take a few more strokes than I would with the Cuda.
The next test was my first big fish. In my case it was my first Jack. This was a 30lb fish that tugged so hard downwards that it took all the strength I had to keep momentum reeling upwards. Again here, the stability made it easy as all I had to do was worry about the fish. Once at the boat, dragging the fish in was a no brainer as I can lean pretty far out in the Rig to get the fish. One of the biggest worries is your stability in handling the oft-toothy fish. The Big Rig had no issue at all. I'd be more apt at falling out of this kayak before tipping it, actually don't think there's a chance of a flip if you ask me. Needless to say, you're gear is mighty safe as well as you have so much space to move things out of the way while handing fish.
We had about 2 days of great calm winds out there, but the balance, especially one day, we had a great deal of wind and chop. Chop mixed with surging currents and wind made for hard paddling. On the long paddle stretches the Big Rig did good, but definitely would have liked to have the Cuda. The wind did pick up the wide underside of the kayak as it was exposed due to the swell. Cuda definitely wins that one. On that on windy day, I decided to go for a day -long work out. I paddled between two of our fishing grounds dragging a large bait with me across some pretty exposed waterways. That hike, combined with circumnavigating the island we reached a couple times equalled about 6 hours of paddling in the hardest currents and wind we experienced. Slept well that night.
Navigating the region and finding fish over such expanses of water meant you really needed a fish finder, GPS navigational system! The bait fish were not in the region this week, so we had to hunt for fish. Both Jim and I had our Raymarine finders. I had the Raymarine Dragonfly finder which came with both nav charts and finders. The ability to pin waypoints was key as the wind and current typically pushed us quickly off the spots we were jigging. The finders gave us the depth of the fish and the jacks never had a chance ;-). The Big Rig's convenient Yakattack tracks combined with a nifty RAM Mount set up let me put the finder and transducer out of the way. Again, there's soooo much room on the Big Rig to keep your deck clean yet have all the bells and whistles you need!
On calmer days, especially in the morning and at dusk, I pulled out my fly rod and actually spent a good bit of time taking advantage of the stand assist bar and stood and fished. Even with a surge, standing in the Big Rig wasn't all bad at all. I do have experience standing though, but there wasn't a single moment where I felt vulnerable. We had some local mangrove bays that Ben and I hit with the fly rods. Where he didn't stand in his Cuda, I stood most of the time tossing from my Big Rig. Needless to say, the wide open deck in front of me, and the paddle rest on the stand assist bar allowed me to position, toss, strip and move around with ease.
Bottom line is that the Big Rig did what it should out there. It took most of the worry about being a first time ocean angler out of the equation for me. The stability alone helped me deal with boiler rocks, swell and handling fish. Where the Cuda excelled was in its native ocean elements. Its speed cutting through chop and handing wind made it a better boat for the open seas but the Big Rig was no slouch. I'd definitely choose the Rig for the flats if there isn't much distance being covered in open seas, wind and chop. But MANY thanks to the Big Rig for teaching this dog new tricks!
The highlight for me this trip was a 30+ foot whale shark hitting my hull and passing right under me (check the GoPro footy!). Incredible natural spectacle in Panama with howler monkeys, dolphins, whales, shark, jumping manta and more all around us! Super cool place.
A note about our hosts: Many thanks go to Hennie and the gang at Paddle Panama (www.paddlepanama.com). They are focused on putting Panama on the map for adventure tourism, especially paddlesports. Hennie has partnered with local land owners, encouraging them to develop their homesteads into simple adventure tourism businesses. The family we stayed with were awesome, funny and had as much fun with us as we did with them. Many thanks to all who made this trip so much fun. Will and Jim… you guys work too hard. Many thanks to you guys as well can't wait to see that episode!


Already in 2024, there will be no need for translators, and in 45 years, robots will perform all the tasks that people perform today - according to a report by universities in Oxford and Yale. Such rapid progress means that the fight for the position of Poland in robotic reality should start now - experts say Personnel Service. And indicate which countries will be in a privileged position.
In just ten years our children will function in a completely different reality than the one we know. And that means that we must take care of their future now. The race with time begins for the place of our country in the world, which, as we already know, is very robotic. Artificial intelligence will balance the costs of the economy and will promote more developed countries that have access to cheaper energy, such as Germany or France. If we do not try to catch up with these countries, we will simply be left behind - says Krzysztof Inglot, President of Personnel Service.
As he notes, the large-scale use of artificial intelligence will have serious social consequences . According to estimates from 325 scientists from around the world who expressed their opinion in a report published by Oxford and Yale, robots in 45 years will perform all tasks that people perform today. "Artificial intelligence will be able to arrange any set of LEGO bricks, in 2026 it will write an essay, and a year later it will replace truck drivers. At the end of the century, artificial intelligence will be able to independently design, program and modify new robots, "the Personnel Service experts report.
In their opinion, the race for a high position in the robotic world will be won by those countries that can boast of a rich scientific background . Countries investing in research, development of technologies related to artificial intelligence and promoting these specializations in college will have an advantage. Experts point out that it is also important to gradually change the learning system that should promote creative thinking and in a world dominated by artificial intelligence, developing a critical approach should form the basis of education , because in creative ideas, robots will not be able to replace people for a long time.
- Many countries are already aware of what revolution awaits us. It's time for our country to start intensive preparation. All this so that we would not be left behind this race - says Krzysztof Inglot. - At this point, the economy of our country is developing very well . This should be used to focus our attention on important issues from the point of view of our place in the robotic world - he adds.

Q: how to access raw data in opensearchserver? I searched for documents and cannot find where it store all data.
I want to access all crawled data in order to do my own processing.

A: In the file StartStopListener it sets up the index directories: look for the value of the environment values OPENSEARCHSERVER_DATA, OPENSEARCHSERVER_MULTIDATA, or OPENSHIFT_DATA_DIR.
Now, whether you'll be able to parse the files easily/correctly is another debate: I haven't ever tried to directly open a search server's indexes by hand, and I don't know that the index format is well documented.

A: By default, the crawled data are not stored. Only the extracted text is stored. It is possible to store the crawled data, here is the process:

*

*Create a new field: Set the "stored" parameter to yes or to compressed.

*Go to the Schema / Parser List

*Edit the HTML parser

*In the  "Field Mapping" tab, link the parser field "htmlSource" to the new field.

Restart the indexation process. Now, all crawled data will be copied to this field. Don't forget to add it as returned field in your query.

Sanders Confirms Inclusion of Provisions of PRO Act in Reconciliation Bill
The PRO Act is a sweeping pro-union bill championed by the labor movement for its strong worker protections.
Sen. Bernie Sanders speaks at a "We Cant Wait Rally," on the National Mall on June 24, 2021, in Washington, D.C.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) confirmed on Wednesday that Senate Democrats' $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill that is slated to be passed with a simple majority vote in the chamber will include elements of the pro-union PRO Act.
The PRO Act, or the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, is a sweeping bill meant to strengthen unions and make it easier for workers to organize in the U.S. It has been lauded by progressives and the labor movement as a strong and crucial beginning to empower the working class in the country and provide a platform to level the playing field between workers and employers.
As details of the reconciliation bill are still emerging, it's still unclear which provisions of the PRO Act are included. One element that may be included is a proposal to create monetary penalties for companies violating labor laws, though that's just one element of the broad pro-union proposal.
As the Senate parliamentarian demonstrated earlier this year when she shot down a $15 federal minimum wage proposal for the latest stimulus package, budget reconciliation comes with strict guidelines for what can and can't be included in the process. In crafting the bill, then, Senate Democrats must toe a thin line — and work around potential objections by the centrist raft of their caucus.
The PRO Act, however, enjoys support from a wide swath of the Democratic Party. Pressure campaigns from labor activists convinced the conservative Sen. Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia) to back the proposal earlier this year. The bill passed the House in April but hasn't been brought to a floor vote in the Senate since it would undoubtedly be shot down by Republicans and face the filibuster anyway.
Democrats' New Version of Infrastructure Bill Claws Back Trump Tax Cuts for Rich
The second infrastructure bill would expand Medicare and add millions of new jobs.
William Rivers Pitt ,
Republicans stand staunchly against the PRO Act, favoring instead union-weakening provisions like so-called "right-to-work" laws that are aimed at kneecapping unions by allowing workers to join unions without paying dues. The PRO Act would override such laws. "Right-to-work" laws also end up having the effect of lowering workers' wages, which the PRO Act, in spirit, is aimed at reversing.
On top of creating civil penalties for companies engaging in union-busting, the labor legislation also proposes outlawing tactics that companies commonly use to delay unionization, such as refusing to recognize a union and undermining the subsequent election process, tactics displayed by Amazon earlier this year. The PRO Act creates further restrictions on union-busting by requiring disclosure of such activities and closing loopholes that allow companies and contractors hired to discourage unions to skirt disclosure.
The PRO Act also proposes allowing gig workers to unionize alongside employees. This would be crucial for independent contractors like Uber and food delivery drivers, who, on top of working for low wages and without benefits, have suffered significant legal setbacks over the past year.
Though it's yet unclear what provisions the parliamentarian, who still needs to review the bill, will allow, the Communications Workers of America union has said in an analysis that proposals like creating civil penalties for union-busting practices and classifying gig workers as employees could be included in the reconciliation process. It could also include proposals to restore a law undone by Donald Trump, which allowed union dues to be tax deductible while preventing companies from deducting expenses incurred in union-busting activities.
Even if many of the provisions laid out in the PRO Act don't make it into the reconciliation bill, just the inclusion of some of its proposals could be monumental for advancing the labor movement. Unions have been on the decline due primarily to Republicans' decades-long efforts to hamstring them and pursue loopholes in labor legislation and enforcement.
As union membership approaches all-time lows in recorded history, income inequality is now worse than it's been since the Great Depression, according to the Economic Policy Institute (EPI). Indeed, workers are feeling the effects — an EPI report earlier this year found that the median full time worker is making $3,250 less per year than in 1979 because of declining unionization.
Though the Democrats haven't yet shared a comprehensive summary on the $3.5 trillion bill — and though the $3.5 trillion mark is much lower than Sanders's $6 trillion proposal — Sanders has expressed excitement over the bill. If it passes, the bill, which takes steps to expand Medicare coverage and tackle the climate crisis while taxing the wealthy and corporations, would be one of the most expansive legislations to pass into law since the New Deal, as lawmakers supporting the bill have said.
"In many ways, [the reconciliation bill] is the most consequential piece of legislation for working families since the Great Depression," Sanders said on Twitter on Thursday. "It is my hope that this legislation will restore the American people's faith in their government by proving that it works for them, not just the wealthy and powerful and their lobbyists."

GOP Tax Plan Slammed by Critics as Glimpse Into Party's Economic Priorities
An estimate finds the poorest 20 percent of the U.S. would pay about 70 percent of their income in taxes under the plan.


If the level is not intended to be measured continuoully, level swithches are used for reaching a predefined set level. Equipment such as conveyors or pumps are switched on or switched off with the signal from level a switch. Binary signals coming from level switches are transmitted to process control. Materials for which limit level measurement is made are liquids, paste, dust, and coarse granule solids.

What were the Last Albums Released on Cassette Tapes?
By Katy Sommerfeld
The cassette tape introduced music to the public in a whole new way. For the first time, music became portable and people everywhere could listen to their favorite tracks on the go using their car stereos and Walkmans. During the '80s and early '90s, it wasn't uncommon to see joggers with headphones on running to the beats of the latest pop songs, or teenagers swapping cassettes on the school bus. Music was finally accessible every minute of every day, and people around the world were relishing in the new technology that allowed that to happen.
However, quicker than its popularity rose, the cassette tape was ousted by the CD in the mid-'90s. Portable CD players replaced Walkmans on store shelves and car stereos were outfitted with CD capabilities instead of cassette players. Cassette tapes were fading out before our eyes.
In spite of the significant decrease in cassette tape sales, record labels continued to release hot new albums on the format in high numbers until the early 2000s. In fact, some record labels continue to release their artists' music on the format to this day. There has been a recent surge in cassette popularity in indie communities, giving tapes another chance to see the light of day in the digital age. Yet for the most part, cassette tapes are obsolete.
There isn't technically a "last" album released on cassette tape since some artists are still releasing music on the format today. However, the last major releases on cassette were in the early 2000s, so the most popular albums of that era can be considered the last widespread music releases on cassette.
Here are some of the last major releases on the cassette tape from the 2000s:
No Strings Attached - NSYNC (2000)
No Strings Attached was NSYNC's third studio album, followed by their self-titled and Home for Christmas albums. This album featured some of their greatest hits, including "Bye Bye Bye" and "It's Gonna Be Me."
Oops!... I Did it Again - Britney Spears (2000)
Britney Spears' second studio album broke the record for the highest debut-week album sales for a female artist in 2000, a record that wasn't broken until fifteen years later by Adele's 25. Her sophomore album features some of her most famous tracks, including "Oops!...I Did It Again" and "Lucky."
The Blueprint - Jay-Z (2001)
Jay-Z's The Blueprint was released at a tumultuous time in his life and American life, as it was released on the day of the September 11th attacks. In spite of this, the reception of his album was universally positive, with some critics even labeling it "the best hip-hop album of all time." This album also featured Kanye West as a producer, giving him recognition and status as a talented producer.
Is This It - The Strokes (2001)
The Strokes are often credited with the return of the garage rock genre in the early 2000s. Their breakout album "Is This It" was a massive success, with hits like "Someday" and "Last Night" breaking into the mainstream.
The Eminem Show - Eminem (2002)
Eminem's fourth studio album, The Eminem Show, was his third album in four years to win the Grammy Award for "Best Rap Album." This album features tracks like "Sing For The Moment" and "Cleanin' Out My Closet" among other favorites.
Let Go - Avril Lavigne (2002)
Let Go is Avril Lavigne's debut studio album. The record's popularity made her a pop-punk icon and skyrocketed her prominence in the scene. Her songs "Complicated" and "Sk8er Boi" are still two of her most popular songs to date.

Q: ClassCastException when calling JSNI method I have the following GWT code:
package my.package.name;

public class MyImpl {

    public void scan(AsyncCallback<String> callBack) {
        this.callBack = callBack;
        scanJNSI();
    }

    private native void scanJNSI()/*-{
        var instance = this;
        instance.@my.package.name.MyImpl::onError(Ljava/lang/String;)("BROWSER");
    }-*/;

    private void onError(String obj) {
        callBack.onFailure(new Exception(obj));
    }
}

When I call:
instance.scan(new AsyncCallback<String>() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(String result) {
        Window.alert(result);
    }

    @Override
    public void onFailure(Throwable caught) {
        Window.alert(caught.getMessage());
    }
});

I get a Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: null:

    at my.package.name.MyImpl.scanJNSI(MyImpl.java)
    at my.package.name.MyImpl.scan(MyImpl.java:12)

What can possibly be the class that it couldn't cast ?

A: I found a workaround:
I replaced :
instance.@my.package.name.MyImpl::onError(Ljava/lang/String;)("BROWSER");

With:
instance.@my.package.name.MyImpl::onError(Lcom/google/gwt/core/client/JavaScriptObject;)({name:"BROWSER"});

And
private void onError(String obj) {
    callBack.onFailure(new Exception(obj));
}

With:
private void onError(JavaScriptObject obj) {
    JSOModel jso = obj.cast();
    callBack.onFailure(new Exception(jso.get("name")));
}

And it worked..
I don't know if using the String class is the problem.

Feb. 21 issue - Q&A By Vikas Swarup
Delhi's latest literary sensation, Swarup is a diplomat who earned a whopping six-figure advance for his first novel. Titled "Q&A," the book recounts the picaresque adventures of Ram Mohammad Thomas, an ignorant orphan who makes off with the jackpot on a quiz show called "Who Wants to Win a Billion?" To explain how he knew the answers, Thomas must tell the story of his life, starting with the Roman Catholic priest who took him in and named him for each of India's major religions. Too cute, perhaps, but "Q&A"—sold in more than 15 countries, with a movie in the works—certainly has its charms.
Angry Wind By Jeffrey Tayler
In an epic overland journey, Tayler, a travel writer, offers himself up as a sounding board for disenfranchised Muslims of central and west Africa. While he listens to their grievances against U.S. foreign policy, their own governments and the merciless landscape, a latent rage and potent despair come sharply into focus. Though Tayler locates the occasional oasis—his time with the nomadic Tuaregs stands out as joyous—he spends more time in Africa's windswept and conflict-ridden badlands. Comparing parts of the continent to Afghanistan, Tayler warns that the West ignores Africa's strife "at [its] own peril."
Beyond the Great Indoors By Inguar Ambjornsen
Elling and Kjell Bjarne, two dysfunctional middle-aged men, meet at a psychiatric hospital and bond over their unhealthy relationships with their parents. After being released, they move into a flat in Oslo and struggle with everyday tasks like shopping and making small talk. But gradually the roommates gain confidence; they buy two kittens, Kjell Bjarne gets a girlfriend and Elling discovers poetry. One of Norway's most popular writers, Ambjornsen—translated here into English for the first time—has a talent for making the men's neuroses accessible and even appealing.

Q: C++ static data members initialization 1) Is it true that static data members of classes always get initialized before main() called?
2) Is it true that "static initialization order fiasco" can happen if static data member of class initialization code uses global static variable of other translation unit?
Where can I read more about it? I couldn't find answer in 2003 standard of C++.
Thanks a lot.

A: Yes to both answers.
see https://isocpp.org/wiki/faq/ctors#static-init-order for a good description of it.

A: 1) Is it true that static data members of classes always get initialized before main() called?
yes they would always be initialized before program starts executing.
2) Is it true that "static initialization order fiasco" can happen if static data member of class initialization code uses global static variable of other translation unit?
Yes, along with this it also happens for every other thing which is initialized before main() execution.

A Welsh MP has addressed the House of Commons in Irish, as she urged the secretary of state to implement an Irish language act in Northern Ireland.
From her bench directly in front of DUP MPs, she began her address with a statement in Irish, which Speaker John Bercow asked her to translate.
In response, the secretary of state said that while she supported "statutory underpinning" for other indigenous languages, she stressed that any move to introduce such legislation in NI was a matter for the Stormont Assembly.
Irish language group Conradh na Gaeilge welcomed Ms Saville-Roberts' contribution and said it was the first time an MP had addressed the Commons in Irish.

Washington D.C., Mar 5, 2019 / 01:51 pm (CNA).- Nearly two dozen states are suing over changes to Title X eligibility that prevent recipients of the federal funding program from performing or facilitating abortions.
Oregon is among the states filing lawsuits over the Department of Health and Human Services' "Protect Life Rule." On Feb. 22, the department announced its finalized version of the rule.
Planned Parenthood is expected to be stripped of about $60 million in federal funds due to the rule change, which impacts eligibility requirements, although the new rules do not mandate a cut to total Title X funding nationally.
Title X is a federal program created in 1965 that subsidizes family-planning, including contraception, and other health screenings for low-income families. It has been frequently updated and subject to new regulations.
Pro-life groups have applauded the measure, saying it is an important step in recognizing that abortion is not health care.
However, abortion advocates have denounced the move as an attack on women.
"The Title X rule is designed to destroy our nation's family planning provider network and deprive millions of poor and low-income people of access to the contraception and other preventive health care they need," said Clare Coleman, president & CEO of the National Family Planning & Reproductive Health Association.
On March 4, Oregon announced that it is leading a multi-state lawsuit against the new rules.
Oregon's attorney general was joined in the lawsuit by attorneys general of 20 other states – Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin – plus the District of Columbia.
California, home to the country's largest Title X program, also filed a lawsuit against the new rules on March 4. The suit says the new requirements force providers to forego Title X funding if they offer full and accurate information and unbiased counseling about abortion.
Washington state has also announced that it is preparing a lawsuit.
"Washington has been, and will continue to be, a state that stands with women and their right to safe and legal abortion and reproductive care. We will never allow President Trump or anyone else in D.C. to take those rights away," said Governor Jay Inslee in a Feb. 25 statement.
The changes in Title X funding are part of President Trump's campaign promise to defund Planned Parenthood, which is still eligible for other federal funding. Last year, Planned Parenthood received over $500 million in federal funds.
Washington D.C., Mar 1, 2019 / 07:00 pm (CNA).- Thousands of migrant children and teens have reported being sexually abused or harassed while in government custody during the last four years, according to recently released government figures.

Agathonísi is a small Greek island and municipality located at the northernmost point of the Dodecanese in Greece. It is surrounded by many smaller islands and is home to two villages, both inland; Megálo Chorió ("Big Village"), and Mikró Chorió ("Small Village"). The island's only port is the settlement of Agios Georgios (Saint George), which consists of a few hotels. The island is also locally known as Gaidaro, or by its ancient name Tragea. The highest point on the island is 209 metres above sea level. This peak is located close to Mikro Chorio. The island covers an area of 13.5 km². A census of the island in 1981 showed that it was populated by 133 people. In 1991, another census showed that the population had dropped to 112. By the 2001 census it had again risen to 158 residents, 144 of whom lived in Megálo Chorió, and only 14 in Mikró Chorió. The municipality of Agathonisi, which includes the uninhabited offshore islets of Gláros, Kounéli, Nerá, and Psathonísio, has a combined land area of 14.500 km².


These Hummingbird Hat Feeders allow you to closely observe your feathery visitors while filling up their bellies with sweet nectar.
This 10-inch feeder was specifically designed to fit on a beak or a visor of a hat. Its paperclip-shaped end allows you to easily slide it on and start observing.
But if you are not a hat person, you can simply hold it in your hand using the handle.
To make attracting hummingbirds easier a few specific details were added to the feeder. Hummingbirds are naturally attracted to red and other bright colors they associate with flowers.
The red vial lid and red faux berries play into the birds' preferences. To keep the hummingbirds comfy, a small perch was added at the end of the feeder.
If you are an avid hummingbird feeder, this will be an amazing addition to your leisure time. Relax while watching them float near you, take photos, or make amazing videos. But make sure that your hummingbirds know you and you can get close to them as is.
