Q: How does Presto collect runtime memory? I'm learning Presto, I'm interested in Presto's runtime resource management.
I've learned that the ClusterMemoryManager checks memory periodically, but I'm confused about the collection of runtime memory.
for (QueryExecution query : queries) {
            long bytes = query.getUserMemoryReservation();
            DataSize sessionMaxQueryMemory = getQueryMaxMemory(query.getSession());
            long queryMemoryLimit = Math.min(maxQueryMemory.toBytes(), sessionMaxQueryMemory.toBytes());
            totalBytes += bytes;
            if (resourceOvercommit(query.getSession()) && outOfMemory) {
                // If a query has requested resource overcommit, only kill it if the cluster has run out of memory
                DataSize memory = succinctBytes(bytes);
                query.fail(new PrestoException(CLUSTER_OUT_OF_MEMORY,
                        format("The cluster is out of memory and %s=true, so this query was killed. It was using %s of memory", RESOURCE_OVERCOMMIT, memory)));
                queryKilled = true;
            }
            if (!resourceOvercommit(query.getSession()) && bytes > queryMemoryLimit) {
                DataSize maxMemory = succinctBytes(queryMemoryLimit);
                query.fail(exceededGlobalLimit(maxMemory));
                queryKilled = true;
            }
        }

How does Presto collection the running query's memory useage?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

A: You can view Query as a graph of task to do. Those tasks are distributed across nodes in the cluster and executed in multiple threads. The basic building block of such a task is an "Operator". Operators know their memory usage and report their it back through memory context classes. Reports coming from operators are aggregated on a node and also send back to the coordinator, which aggregates query total.

Michael Johnson believes he's one of a kind in this sport
Jan 11, 2018 | Boxing, MMA
The look on Michael Johnson's face said it all. After nine minutes and 48 seconds of some of the most hellacious action you will see in a prizefight, he had left it all in the Octagon against Justin Gaethje, and it was something to be proud of.Not yet, though. First, Johnson had to deal with the second-round TKO loss he suffered against Gaethje in Las Vegas on July 7, and he wasn't ready for that yet. That was a fighter's pride talking, so he didn't even realize that he was one-half of the best fight of 2017."I had no idea we were putting on a Fight of the Year … Read the Full Article Here

Amber Ikat Walter Chair (World Market) (above) – I just picked this chair up yesterday at World Market on 50% off clearance for $75. We have a little desk area off of our kitchen and I have been looking for a pretty chair for that space. I love the ikat print and thought the colors would work great with our kitchen. The construction isn't the highest quality, but it's comfortable so I'll take it for $75!
Madeleine Stained Wood Arm Chairs (Restoration Hardware) – we really liked the metal version of these chairs for our new kitchen table. However when we found the same chair in white for almost 75% off ($49 a piece vs. $159) we thought white would be just fine! Threshold Yellow Ceramic Lamp Base (Target) – I love colorful gourd lamps but they can be pretty expensive. This pretty lamp base from Target's Threshold line is a relative value at $39.99. I bought a pair to change up the look of our master bedroom.
Tufted Arch Headboard (Home Decorators) A pretty headboard is often a more affordable alternative to a full bed. We bought this headboard from Home Decorators to make our guest bedroom a little extra special. We were able to get the headboard during a 25% off + free shipping sale.
Have you scored any good home decor deals lately?


111.30.18 Yeti and his sisters arrived into rescue late Wednesday evening. We received information from another rescue about a litter of 9 week old boxer/pit bull mixes left behind when someone moved. A man who knew the people took them in temporary and kept 2 of the pups surrendering the rest to SCBR.
Yeti is very outgoing and loves chewing on nylabones and wrestling with his litter mates.


My old clients have grown weary of hearing me extol the virtues of the vintage Florsheim Imperial Budapesters. Not that they disagree that Florsheim made a shoe that will not soon be equaled in the world, certainly not among the ready-mades. The attention to detail in the Imperials is most impressive. This is exactly the type of shoe leather that will develop an extraordinarily beautiful patina over the years. Florsheim's (Horween) Shell Cordovan takes to polish exceptionally well and, over time, takes on a warm glow. A shoe of this build quality, with double sole, is a gift from the gods for a big or a heavy man or any man who is hard on shoes. You will be wearing this pair long after you have walked out of several other pairs of less substantial pairs. Compare the Imperial Full Brogue Budapestersto a pair of Church's, Crockett & Jones, or Alden's Brogues at 700-800 Euros, all of which I myself sell, and you will see what a bargain this superior Florsheim Imperial is. Read what my other clients have said about this shoe; they rave, and rightly so. Have a pair for yourself; you will not be disappointed. The perfect all-season shoe, for rain or shine, Town or Country, a beautiful and no-nonsense Full Brogue for the gentleman.
US 8.5D.....(UK 7.5E)......European 41.5D, for the medium width foot.
A very fine pair already showing the rich patina for which shell cordovan is so prized. Tops excellent. Bottoms showing little wear. Heels have had a non-slip panel added.

Patricio Coll is a movie director from Argentina who has worked in film, video and TV, both in Argentina and Venezuela and Spain. He currently resides in Santa Fe.

Coll was assistant director on the acclaimed 1968 movie Palo y hueso, directed by Nicolás Sarquís and starring Héctor da Rosa and Miguel Ligero.
For his 2001 movie Cicatrices (Scars), based on the novel of the same name by Juan José Saer, he was nominated for the 2002 Silver Condor award for Best Screenplay Adaptation at the Mar del Plata Film Festival.
Cicatrices weaves together three stories of frustrated men and women in the 1960s, a downbeat movie in which it always seems to be raining.
The movie starred Omar Fantini, Raul Kreig, Pablo Di Crocce, Monica Galan, Maria Leal and Vando Villamil.
A critic said of the movie "Coll's film is not easy to pigeonhole: it revolutionizes the visual language, and yet openly avoids clichés of cinema in recent decades".

In 1966, Patrick Coll and Jorge Goldenberg Hachero filmed a documentary on the social situation of the loggers in the northern province of Santa Fe. The film crew was based in a small town called Fortin Olmos, where a group of worker priests from the Congregation of the Brothers de Foucauld had settled a few years earlier and established a farm cooperative.
Forty years later, the filmmakers returned in search of survivors from that experiment, documented in the 2008 Regreso a Fortín Olmos (Back to Fortin Olmos).
Although the cooperative proved to be an unattainable utopia, the film shows the clarity, conviction, passion and dedication of the protagonists.
He co-directed City of Shadows (2010) with Mario Cuello, Julio Hiver and Diego Soffici.
The movie is based on four stories by different writers from Santa Fe, billed as "Four stories, four managers, one city".

Secondary school girls in Malawi. (Pic: AFP)
In 2014, it's unacceptable for girls in Malawi to be unable to go to school
Every Wednesday, Shakira Yakiti gets together with a group of at-risk girls at the Nampingunja School in the rural Mangochi district of Malawi. Their Girls Club organises home visits to girls who have dropped out of school to get married, works with teenage mothers to encourage them to return to school, interfaces with school headmasters to make sure the returning students are welcomed, and provides social support for girls facing serious challenges in a country where poverty is endemic, secondary school attendance for girls is significantly lower than for boys, and girls routinely get married and have children as teenagers.
Shakira said: "Whenever those girls come back, we sit down as a club to discuss what problems they're facing and what problems caused them to drop out of school. Sometimes we even raise money to help them out if the problem is poverty, so they can buy soap and the like. We are always proud when we see a girl coming back to school."
Shakira is a force of nature, slim and poised and speaking with the easy eloquence of a seasoned politician. When I met her, she was talking to a team of aid workers and visiting journalists jamming microphones in her face and jotting down her every word. She handled our questions fluidly and coherently, providing incisive answers and encouraging the members of the Girls Club to share their stories. As we left, we all agreed that her grassroots organising skills and her persuasiveness indicate a fine future in politics.
Did I mention she's 13?
I met girls like Shakira across Malawi: bright, resilient, and working hard in their communities to make life better for women and girls. I also met girls who are hanging on by a thread, desperate to go to school but facing enormous barriers. There was Ethel, whose parents were too poor to buy soap for her to wash her clothes, let alone pay for her school uniform (the Girls Club got her soap and encouraged her to come back to school; Ethel is now enrolled).
There was Chrissa, who got pregnant as a teenager and had twins. The man who impregnated her is 21 and left her and the children for a more lucrative job in South Africa. She came back to school, despite being ostracised by some of her peers. "I don't mind if they'll be laughing at me", she said. "I'm going to continue with learning."
There was Christie, whose mother abandoned the family, leaving Christie to raise her six siblings alone and in extreme poverty. Her only way out was marriage at 14 and a child the same year. She dropped out of school after eighth grade, and wants to go back, but can't quite find a way.
They face barriers that are cultural as well as practical. When family income is limited, paying for a male child's schooling can seem like a better investment than paying for a girl's. Cultural norms promote early marriage, and a lack of access to comprehensive sexual health education and contraception means pregnancy is common among young women – nearly two-thirds of women in Malawi have given birth by their 20th birthday. Adolescent pregnancy poses serious risks to the mother and the child: 65% of fistula patients developed the condition as adolescents, and infant deaths in the first month of life are 50-100% higher when the mother is under 20 than if she's older. Girls who get pregnant are more likely to get married, and once a girl is married she quits school.
Girls also face the practical challenges of getting to school in a country with a largely rural population. At another school in the Mangochi district, headmistress Molombo Basuro said some students walk as far as 16 km each way to a schoolhouse where there are no chairs, not enough exercise books, no electricity, a limited water supply and as many as 65 students to a class. With no boarding facilities, 32 girls who live far away currently sleep in one of the classrooms.
Seemingly simple problems become substantial barriers for girls' education. Lack of access to soap and sanitary pads means girls miss school when they're menstruating. No chairs make it harder to sit comfortably and focus on the lesson instead of modesty when your school uniform is a dress.
But the girls keep showing up, in large part thanks to innovative efforts led by community members and the girls themselves, funded mostly by international aid organisations. Some of the girls at Headmistress Basuro's school have bikes, purchased by a joint United Nations program carried out by Unicef. The bikes mean the girls not only get to school faster, but safer – walking for kilometres along rural roads puts them at risk for harassment and sexual assault. Other Unicef funds go to things like soap, sanitary pads, school fees, supplies and exercise books.
Thanks to endemic corruption, though, these girls who are doing everything in their power to stay in school may see the few resources they have stretched even further, or taken away all together.
Cash Gate
The problem is a scandal called Cash Gate, where Malawian officials are accused of plundering millions of dollars in aid money from a country where 40% of the budget comes from donor funds. In response, many big Western donors are withholding aid until the Malawian government can prove that donor funds will be used appropriately. It's a harsh decision, and not necessarily unfair – why funnel millions into a system that has proven itself to be corrupt?
And yet it's girls like Shakira, Chrissa and Christie who will lose out.
There's no easy solution. The Malawian government has a series of options, including allowing international auditors to evaluate the scope and depth of the corruption. Donors, though, have to make tough decisions: keep giving aid and essentially fund corrupt officials with little consequence, or pull aid with the knowledge that the ones who suffer most are the many Malawians who need basics like health care and education.
Nearly three-quarters of Malawians are extremely poor, living on less than $1.25 (US) per day. Over and over, the girls and women I spoke with emphasised that the most effective programs were the most local – the ones that were developed with leadership from girls, community members, health care providers and grassroots organisers, not outsiders parachuting in. But they need money to be implemented effectively.
The Malawian government needs to step up, and allow international auditors full access for an investigation. But donors shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. And girls like Shakira, polished and intelligent as they may be, are still children – babies deserving support and protection.

O rio Cavalum é um rio que nasce em Portugal, no concelho de Penafiel, perto da freguesia de Croca, na localidade de Casais Novos. É um afluente do rio Sousa, e pertence à bacia hidrográfica do Rio Douro.

A presa identificada como nascente do rio Cavalum, está envolta em silvados. A partir daí o Cavalum, que mais parece um pequeno rego de água, está encanado, atravessando alguns campos. Curiosamente, não é dos tempos actuais a atitude de encanar o rio Cavalum nas proximidades da sua nascente. Vários troços do rio já foram encanados no passado, atravessando subterraneamente alguns campos através de "minas" feitas totalmente em pedra.

Decorre um projecto de limpeza e requalificação parcial das margens do Rio Cavalum, iniciado em Agosto de 2010, numa parceria com a Penafiel Verde, a ARH – Administração da Região Hidrográfica e o Instituto do Emprego e Formação Profissional.

A Ministra do Ambiente valorizou e elogiou publicamente este projecto, que pretende limpar os 17 km de extensão do rio, devolvendo o Cavalum aos Penafidelenses.

Q: Is it necessary to synchronize final members? I have a database object used in different threads:
import java.sql.Connection;
import oracle.ucp.jdbc.PoolDataSourceFactory;
import oracle.ucp.jdbc.PoolDataSource;

public class Database
{
  private final PoolDataSource pool = PoolDataSourceFactory.getPoolDataSource();

  protected Connection connect ()
  {
    synchronized (pool) { return pool.getConnection(); }
  }

  protected void disconnect (Connection connection)
  {
    synchronized (pool) { connection.close(); }
  }
}

Is it necessary to synchronize the access to the pool member? Or would it be sufficient to avoid the explicit synchronization?
If the synchronization is necessary the code would be broken, because it would not be necessary to call disconnect to close the connection. Some code in the class could call connection.close() bypassing the synchronization.

A: In general you shouldn't guard access to the final reference with mutex. Because this kinds of fields has safe publication according Java Memory Model.
In your partial case PoolDataSourceImpl(or PoolXADataSourceImpl) able to change own state throw methods getConnection() and connection.close();. So you should check is your implementation of PoolDataSource is a thread safe. Accordingly
Oracle® Database JDBC Developer's Guide and Reference looks like DataSource is a thread safe, but not a Connection.

The Oracle JDBC drivers provide full support for, and are highly
  optimized for, applications that use Java multithreading. Controlled
  serial access to a connection, such as that provided by connection
  caching, is both necessary and encouraged. However, Oracle strongly
  discourages sharing a database connection among multiple threads.
  Avoid allowing multiple threads to access a connection simultaneously.
  If multiple threads must share a connection, use a disciplined
  begin-using/end-using protocol.

A: Synchronization is only unnecessary when the final fields are immutable; no need to synchronize final Strings, for example. When you have a field like this one that doesn't hold an immutable object, you still need synchronization unless the object itself (like your PoolDataSource) is thread-safe.

A: It's probably not necessary. There are a couple of reasons when you must use synchronized:

*

*A variable is changed thread A and read by thread B.
This can't happen for final variables, so this reason is out.

*You must make changes to several variables and other threads must either see none or all of them.
Access to a single field doesn't need synchronized

*You must protect the internal state of a complex object. Map.put() is such a case. While x.put() is just a single access, the update of the internal state of the map will change several variables, so this you need synchronized for this case.
The question is: Do you need it for pool.getConnection() or connection.close()?
The answer to this can be found in the documentation of the library / framework that you use.
Generally speaking, connection pools were created to keep a pool of connections for multi-threaded applications, so they should be safe to call without locking on your part.

A time of quick change, the day brings fast flowing energies to which one must adapt with deftness.
It is a day to use your head. Be ready to change lanes fast. Listen for others who might change their tune, for example, a defiant uncooperative individual may now be more inclined to get along.
A significant undercurrent of feminine energies… loyalty, nurture, focus and temple-like calm… can quietly lift affairs through casual ritual process such that the potential for constructive joint efforts flourishes. In this case, one must deftly recognize that the gears have shifted to gradual and slow, and hence that there is no need for hurried impulsive reactions.

Súdogda  es una ciudad del óblast de Vladímir, en Rusia, centro administrativo del raión homónimo. Está situada en la orilla izquierda del río Súdogda, un afluente del Kliazma, a 40 km al sudeste de Vladímir. Su población se elevaba a 12.035 habitantes en 2010.

Historia

La localidad fue mencionada por primera vez en el siglo XVII como la sloboda de Súdogdskaya (Судогодская). Poco después se rebautizaría como el pueblo de Súdogda y le fue otorgado el estatus de ciudad en 1778. En ese año se convirtió en centro administrativo de un uyezd y se puso en práctica un plan de uso extensivo de la tierra.
En 1806 y 1838 la ciudad fue seriamente afectada por incendios. En la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, la ciudad recibió un impulso económico, gracias a la apertura, en 1879, del primer molino de tejido de lino y, en 1897, de una fábrica de botellas de vidrio.

Demografía

Cultura y lugares de interés

En Súdogda se encuentran la catedral de santa Catalina () de 1814 y la iglesia de Alejandro Nevski () de 1870.

La ciudad cuenta con un museo de etnografía territorial.

Economía y transporte

La empresa más importante de la ciudad es una fábrica de lana mineral basada en la antigua fábrica de botellas de vidrio. Por otro lado hay compañías de la industria textil, de la de los muebles y la alimentaria.

La ciudad es terminal para el ferrocarril de mercancías de 46 km que une la ciudad con la línea principal Murom-Kovrov, en la estación Volosataya.

Por Súdogda pasa la carretera R72 entre Vladímir, Murom y Arzamás.

Apple MacBook Pro M1 for £1,159 (£140 off)
If you're a Mac user looking for some more muscle than the M1 MacBook Air can provide, we suggest you take a look at its (slightly) bigger brother. The 2020 13.3-inch MacBook Pro also comes with the swaggering M1 at its heart, and has a slight edge over the Air in terms of power and battery life (a couple of hours extra of the latter). There's the touchbar too, if that appeals to you, and a lovely screen and speaker setup.
Huawei MateBook D 15 for £480 (£170 off)
What you get with the Huawei MateBook D 15 is a laptop with a slick design and more than decent performance to match. Yes, it takes more than a few design cues from Apple, but that's no bad thing, and we like the fine selection of ports and the hidden webcam in the keyboard. The downsides? Well, the battery life is disappointing but the included 65W USB-C charger can top you up to over 50 percent in just 30 minutes.
Acer Aspire 5 A515-56 for £580 (£120 off)
While you will find a laptop that looks just like this one selling for around £600 elsewhere, at Amazon you get a bump up from a 512GB SSD to a 1TB one. For £20 less. This is a great desktop-replacer for many people. It has a 15.6-inch Full HD screen and an Intel Core i5 processor. Acer's Swift series laptops are a little snazzier in parts, but this one is still just about light enough to use as an ultraportable at 1.9kg.
Asus Zenbook UX425EA for £600 (£100 off)
You can find discounts that sound more dramatic than the "£100 off" of the Asus Zenbook UX425EA. But this laptop hits a sweet spot of design, performance and value. It has an aluminium shell and ultra-slim screen borders, and weighs just 1.2kg. Don't be put off by the strange-looking touchpad. It can turn into a NUM pad, but it uses an LED light underneath. When you want it to look like a normal touchpad, it will.
Huawei MateBook 14 2021 for £700 (£250 off)
Sporting a crisp 2K screen, 512GB of SSD storage, 8GB of RAM and an 11th Gen Core i5 processor, the MateBook 14 is more than capable of handling some heavier productivity tasks, despite its 1.49kg weight. There's a decent 11 hours of battery life (with a 15-minute charge giving your 2.5 hours of standard use) and a fingerprint sensor for swift logins.
Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 15.6 for £999 (£250 off)
Who wouldn't like £250 off Samsung's super-thin, super-light AMOLED laptop? Yes, the featherweight design is svelte and sharp, but its that AMOLED display that draws attention. It's a 1920 x 1080 141dpi 60Hz panel, so don't expect the sharpness of 4K screens, but the contrast and color accuracy on view are superb. Integrated Dolby Atmos AKG speakers deliver plenty of punch, no distortion and even passable bass. The clincher? Excellent battery life.
HP Stream 11.6in Laptop for £196 (£24 off)
There's nothing too fancy going on here: this is a decent budget model that's ideal as a first laptop for kids, and with a hefty £50 off it's even more affordable than usual. It's powered by an Intel Celeron processor and 4GB of RAM, comes with 64GB of eMMC storage and runs on Windows 10 Home S, with a free upgrade to Windows 11 when it rolls out shortly.
Acer Swift 1 for £330 (£70 off)
Amazon, Argos, John Lewis
If money is tight, you may be interested in one of our favourite budget laptops; the Acer Swift 1 is svelte and lightweight. It's suitable for basic productivity tasks and boasts good speakers and a keyboard with decent travel, though the display is a bit bland. The processor is basic, as you'd expect in a laptop at this price. There's 4 GB of RAM and a 128 GB SSD. But this laptop also comes with a year's subscription to Microsoft 365 Personal, which is a nice bonus.
LG Gram 14Z90P for £1,099 (£250 off)
LG's Gram range is obsessed with low weight. The LG gram 14Z90P weighs a gramme under a kilo, but still has inordinately long battery life and a powerful 11th Gen Intel Core i7 processor. You also get — unusual for the price — 16GB RAM. You don't often see a performance laptop this light. Even the keyboard is well above average, and comfortable for long-form typing. The 14-inch Gram won't necessarily seem as high-end as a MacBook Pro to your fingers, but this major saving is worth looking at for those after a laptop for roving portable use.
Razer Blade 17 for £3,300 (£670 off)
OK, so the cost of this laptop may make your jaw hit the floor. But this is a new model that sold for £670 more in the weeks before Cyber Monday. It is so expensive because this Razer Blade 17 has just about every upgrade you could ask for. You get the top-end 11th Gen Intel Core i9 CPU, an Nvidia RTX 3080 graphics card, 32GB RAM, a 1TB SSD and a 4K resolution 120Hz screen. It's a monster of a gaming laptop, worth a glance even if you can in no way afford it.
Asus VivoBook OLED for £500 (£100 off)
We've all grown to appreciate the OLED revolution that started with smartphones and swept into our living rooms, but this superior display technology is still relatively rare in laptops. This Asus Vivobook combines a 15.6-inch OLED screen with an Intel i3-1115G4, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. Forget about gaming, but if you want something pleasant to work, browse the web, and watch the odd movie on, you could do a whole lot worse.
Microsoft Surface Laptop 4 for £1,278 (£191 off)
Easily the best-looking Windows laptop you can buy, this Surface Laptop 4 model sports a 15-inch touchscreen and an elegant design. There's an AMD Ryzen 7 with Radeon Graphics inside, along with 8 GB of RAM, and 512 GB of storage. We like the keyboard and the large trackpad, and the speakers aren't bad either, but the bezels are quite thick, and there's no Thunderbolt port.
Lenovo IdeaPad Duet Chromebook for £200 (£19 off)
If you're keen on a 2-in-1 design, this affordable convertible from Lenovo fits the bill. The keyboard attaches magnetically, there's a 10.1-inch touchscreen, and it runs Google's Chrome OS. Battery life is quite good at up to 10 hours, so this is a decent device for light work, web surfing, and movie watching. If you can make do with simply folding the screen back, the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3 is also on sale at £180 (£100 off).
Pixelbook Go Intel Core i5 8GB RAM 128GB Storage £729 (£100 off)
Google Store, Argos, John Lewis
The best high-end Chromebook on the market, Google's slick, minimalist design looks and feels a bit special and stands out from the crowd. It also has some grunt (for a Chromebook), and there's a touchscreen display, a solid keyboard, and a responsive glass trackpad. Plenty of stamina in the battery department and seamless integration with Google's apps round out a tempting device. Just be aware that Google's UK hardware support is somewhat lacking. The 16GB of RAM model is also on sale at £799 (£150 off).
Acer Predator Triton 300 SE for £1,199 (£300 off)
We were impressed by the build quality of the Triton 300 SE with its lightweight magnesium alloy case and a textured glass touchpad. And it's no slouch under that stylish exterior with an 11th gen Core i7, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, 16 GB of RAM, and a 1 TB SSD. It has a Full HD screen with a silky smooth 144 Hz refresh rate, and it should run most games you care to throw at it, though it can get hot and loud when you push it.
Apple MacBook Air M1 for £889 (£110 off)
Amazon, John Lewis
Deep discounts on Apple's MacBook line are rare, and we haven't seen any for Black Friday. The truth is that the 2020 MacBook Air has been available at this price for a while now, but we know some people will have their hearts set on an Apple computer. It has Apple's powerful M1 chip inside with 8 GB of RAM and a 256 GB SSD. This compact MacBook has a 13-inch screen and plenty of stamina, but it's relatively expensive for what you get.
Dell XPS 13 for £721 (£128 off) with code CYBER15
If there's a better compact laptop, we'd like to know about it. Dell's 11th Gen XPS 13 is a slim beauty with a bright and vibrant 13.3-inch screen. It's all business, with a Core i7, 8 GB of RAM, a 512 GB SSD, and support for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1. Extras like a fingerprint sensor in the power button and voice activation with Cortana may prove convenient. But, with space at a premium, ports are limited, and the trackpad is small.
Alienware m15 R6 Gaming Laptop for £1,999 (£450 off)
Dell's gaming brand is often accused of being overpriced, but this looks like the kind of laptop a space marine would own, and this kind of design comes at a premium. There's no scrimping on the spec sheet here either with an 11th Gen Core i7, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, 16 GB of RAM, and a 1 TB SSD. The 15-inch display gives you the option to crank up the resolution to 1440p at 240 Hz or drop down to 1080p at 360 Hz, and there's G-Sync support, too. Just don't stray too far from a power socket.

In the 1980s, Eddie Murphy was 1 of the greatest celebrities in the world and his stand-up shows had been much more like rock concerts.

The term 'butter milk' refers to different kinds of dairy product drinks. Originally, butter milk is the liquid that is left after taking out butter from the cream. It has sour taste caused by the lactic acid bacteria. Tartness of butter milk is due to the acid present in milk. As the bacteria produce lactic acid, the pH of milk decreases and casein (the primary milk protein that is formed) precipitates. This results in clabbering or curdling of milk. Butter milk can be drunk directly, or it can be used in cooking. Butter milk is used as a digestive or to keep the body cool during the summer season. Butter milk is a complete food, as it contains nutrients and elements required for a balanced diet. It consists of proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, essential enzymes, and a minimal amount of lipids; which together make a complete meal. Inclination toward balanced diet and thereby, maintaining proper health is likely to promote the growth of the global butter milk market during the forecast period. Additionally, butter milk is helpful in reducing the fats and oil that normally line the inner wall of the food pipe and stomach.
Geographically, the global butter milk market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East & Africa, and Latin America. North America is expected to dominate the global butter milk market, both in terms of revenue and volume, due to the rising health concerns among the people in the region. Moreover, the U.S. is a leading producer of butter milk. The market Asia Pacific, which includes China, India, Japan, and Australia, is anticipated to experience rapid growth during the forecast period. This is attributable to the rising diabetic population and the increasing prevalence of obesity in the region. Moreover, butter milk as a key ingredient to many food items is also expected to trigger the growth rate of the global butter milk market in Asia Pacific regions. Europe, which includes France, Germany, Italy, and other countries, is expected to gain a significant market share during the forecast period. This is attributable to the growing awareness among the people in the region about general wellbeing and balanced diet.
The global butter milk market has both branded and un-branded companies operating in it. They compete continuously with each other in terms of prices of their products and launches of new products. Some of the key participants in the global butter milk market include Fonterra Cooperative Group, Grain Millers Inc., Agri Mark, Inc., GCMMF, Mother's Dairy, Hatsun, Dairy Farmers of America, and Associated Mil Producers Inc.


It's been a big and exhausting week filled with adjusting to Bogotá's altitude, wrapping up in warm clothes, being in the big city, finding my way on local buses, starting my new job and apartment hunting.
We spent a full day on Monday going to various inspections we had lined up and also traipsing around the general area we are looking to live in looking for Se Arriendo signs that indicate a vacant apartment. Renting an apartment in Bogotá is not easy because of all the requirements you need to meet, and I'm sure I'll write a post about the house-hunting process sometime soon. We had a couple more inspections on Tuesday and Wednesday and currently have our application in for a fabulous apartment very close to my work. We have our fingers crossed everything goes through fine and that we can move in next week!
On Tuesday I started my new job and I already love it. It's going to be interesting, challenging and I get to work with a great bunch of professionals in a bilingual office environment. I also have an office window that looks out over Bogotá with a most incredible view, so you can be sure I'll be taking regular 'rest your eyes and look into the distance away from the computer screen' exercises.
Last night on the bus back to the hostel where I'm staying until we get an apartment I was on the receiving end of lovely piece of Bogotano kindness. Buses are notoriously jam-packed and if you end up standing in the aisle, you have to hold on with two hands firmly gripping the rails in a white knuckle embrace so as not to be flung around like a bowling ball as the driver brakes and swerves at high speeds. The girl standing next to me, who wasn't tall enough to reach the ceiling rails, slipped into the newly vacated seat directly in front of her (but not before hovering over the seat for just a minute in a Bogotá idiosyncrasy I had read about on Banana Skin Flip Flops and Sarepa). I moved a step down the bus to where she had been standing and she obviously saw that my oversized shoulder bag was heavy, awkward and in serious danger of smacking her in the head, so she said "Te ayudo?" (can I help you?) motioning to take my bag for me. So I handed over my bag which she nursed on her knee until I got off. I had seen the exact same kindness the day before by a girl sitting next to me taking the unwieldy backpack of a guy standing in the aisle and resting it on her knee and the day before that when a man gave up his seat for a pregnant woman and she returned the favour by minding his bag for him.
This small gesture is surprising because it is where famous Colombian hospitality and Bogotano politeness meets an ingrained mistrust of others and wins. Mi novio keeps telling me to be careful on the buses because they have a reputation for thefts, and here I am handing over my bag with all my important papers and valuables to a perfect stranger to mind for me. I have seen and heard of many examples of Colombian's mistrust in others, right up to not trusting family members, although I think that is mostly about not trusting anyone with your money. But I love that regardless, people are lovely and helpful and kind. It makes me love this city a little bit more.
This week has passed by in such a blur that I've had to pinch myself that yes, I am in Bogotá and yes, life is great.
Pingback: House hunting Bogotá – living in Colombia. | sarepa.
I just read this post, and it's funny you should mention the kindness on the bus, because the exact same thing happened to me yesterday for the first time on the transmilenio, when I gave up my seat for an old lady and then another lady offered to hold the bag I was carrying! A sweet little Bogotano quirk! I was wondering if I could pick your brain for some advice about applying for a Colombian partner visa, as I don't really want to get married right now, but my Colombian boyfriend and I were told this morning by a notary that to get a 'union marital de hecho' I had to have been living in Colombia for at least 2 years (which I haven't..). I read your post and wondered if you could offer any more tips for getting a notary to oblige and give us the declaration we need without any kind of marriage being involved!
It's such a nice gesture. I try to repay the favour whenever I can. If you're lucky enough to get a seat it's nice to ease the load of someone who isn't as lucky.
Have sent you some extra info about the visa experience. Hope to catch up soon!

Earthquake to floods: how Start Fund helped Ecuador families face second disaster
Scared children 'drenched, dirty and crying' after rain swept away homes
©Plan. Juliana with her mother in the school where they were sheltered in Manabí.
El Nino has brought heavy rainfall to many countries of South America this year, with sometimes devastating effects. One of the first to be hit was Ecuador, and in March the Start Fund enabled a crisis response by Plan International. Elena Ruiz Labrador, the agency's national communication coordinator in Ecuador, reports on how families and children were helped
A year ago they endured a 7.8 magnitude earthquake that ended the lives of 671 people and left almost 400,000 without a roof over their heads, or basic resources. Then came another calamity for the inhabitants of province of Manabí in Ecuador: torrential rainfall that swept everything in its path, taking away many houses that had only been rebuilt or repaired.
Juliana, 11, tells how her family had to flee their community when rain and mud trapped them just by their home. "I'm still scared," she says. "They had to get us out by tying ropes to us because the water was up to our waists and it was impossible to walk, or find any of the paths that we usually use".
Her house, located between two ravines, disappeared under the mud in a matter of seconds. Nothing was left and both she and her mother feel themselves lucky to have escaped, with only the clothes they were wearing.
In Ecuador, and as a consequence of the rainy season, four provinces were on orange alert in April due to the floods - Manabí, Guayas, Esmeraldas and Santa Elena. All were experiencing the severe effects of El Niño, the same meteorological phenomenon that has brought exceptional rains and serious flooding to much of South America since February.
In the space of a month, an estimated 8,800 homes in Ecuador were affected, leaving 400 people living in shelters and more than 9,500 families suffering directly from the consequences of the floods.
IMPROVISED SHELTERS
Some 20 families in the same situation as Juliana were housed temporarily in the Cruz Alta of Miguelillo school, located in the canton of Portoviejo. Although the families had a roof under which they could sleep, there were not enough sanitary facilities for so many people. There were no showers, people were crowded into the classrooms and at first they had nothing to eat.
"We were all drenched, dirty and crying, said Juliana. "We were desperate. We passed the night in the school and then they lent us a house." But the rains didn't stop, she said, and "sometimes we were scared, because people said that another flood was coming."
Juliana's mother says that those first days were hard and frustrating. She had no sunscreen to protect her three daughters from burning their faces under the strong Manabí sun. "We didn't have any repellent either and the mosquitoes were everywhere," she said. "There were children covered with bites and their mothers were afraid that dengue or another disease would break out at any time."
Even for the mothers themselves, it was difficult to meet their most basic needs. "Finding sanitary towels was a challenge in itself, and here they are not exactly cheap. Without any money to buy them, some women were resorting to rags or whatever they could find to hand."
HELP IN TIME
After these first few hours of chaos and uncertainty, Juliana remembers that it was Plan International "that brought us help and provided us with hygiene kits. My mom and my sisters use sanitary towels and we all use insect repellent to protect us from the irritating mosquito bites. Hand towels, toothbrushes and toothpaste enabled us to stay clean. They helped us with everything, really everything, because we could not get anything," she said.
For her part, her mother was grateful because "it would have been impossible for us to buy any of this. We left our homes without any money; we lost everything. These kits give us our dignity, at least. When you have nothing, receiving this is like a blessing."
Providing these kits was made possible thanks to the Start Fund, which awarded £129,000 enabling Plan International Ecuador to distribute hygiene kits, food, blankets and other supplies to the families affected by the floods. In addition, the organisation set up what it called "Emergency Intelligence Factories: Friendly Spaces for Children" - where children and adolescents could learn through games and art, including how to protect themselves in an emergency. They were also provided with psychological support to acquire the resilience they need, since it is they who suffer most from the effects of emergencies like this.

Parakeets Get the Shove in the UK
from [Liz] [Permanent Link][Original]
"Birding-Aus Aus" <>

Hi Carl
I'm not quite sure what you mean about "being green". It's about conservation and biodiversity, not about not being "green" and it's hopefully becoming less easy to be a a sentimental "bunny-hugger", blind to the bigger picture, in the UK. The UK signed up to the 1992 UN Convention on Biological Diversity, The Habitats Directive (Europe) and recently signed up to the new UN target set at Nagoya to halt biodiversity loss and restore ecosystems by 2020, plus we have (for the moment -see below), in place many other national and local biodiversity targets. I see absolutely no difference between the UK trying to remove damaging species, and I stress damaging, and the efforts being made in Australian to remove non-natives. We have our fair share of damaging non-natives, the impact of which is probably as serious and significant in our crowded island with little space left for natural and semi-natural habitats and the wildlife they support.
The really important thing to be worrying about in the UK at the moment is not the removal of a relatively small number of individual animals but the new coalition government's "Red Tape Challenge" which is basically looking to remove 278 regulations which protect species, biodiversity, climate and habitats.
Priorities, that's the important thing in these days of austerity. A few parakeets getting the bump is not something worth expending worry on, in my view.

declared two species of Parakeet persona non grata. DEFRA has
announced plans to remove the UK population of Monk Parakeet, by
relocation, nest destruction or shooting. See

Additionally there would be an app on my phone and a box in my garage, but really all I had to do was charge my car and drive it. BMW would monitor the charging remotely and occasionally pause the charging, but for no more than an hour, and I could use the app to "opt out" any time I thought I might need the electrons. My participation in this study would be for 18 months and would help BMW and its partner PG&E learn how electric vehicles can stabilize the grid. Since I did the vast majority of my charging while I slept, this seemed low to no risk.
Eighteen months later I can unequivocally state that participation was transparent, hassle-free and mind-numbingly dull to the point that I mostly forgot about it. The only reminders were occasionally meeting other participants over complimentary sandwiches during a group interview. Just the way you would want it.
One criticism about Electric Vehicles is that they will cause grid-instability. All those electric cars plugging in at once on an antiquated grid! Pandemonium will ensue, dogs and cats will be living together and civilization will plunge into darkness.
Except that's not even remotely true.
EVs are a great way to stabilize the grid; it isn't even difficult. It can (and has been) done on grid scale with 2015 technology. During this study I was one of 100 participants; when I'm one of a million participants it will truly be evolutionary.
The purpose of this study, a joint effort between PG&E and BMW, was to demonstrate what a lot of smart people believed but had never proven. Before I explain what that is, it will be instructive to explain why it is important.
One of the most fundamental laws of physics states that energy can be neither created nor destroyed; it can only be converted from one form to another. I wouldn't be surprised if every engineer at California Independent System Operator (CAISO) has to get this tattooed on the inside of their eyelids as a condition of employment. That's because it's their job to ensure just the right number of electrons get pumped onto the grid as get consumed. In real-time. If they screw it up the grid goes unstable.
If your eyes are already glossing over, let me give you the CliffsNotes version of Demand Response in one chart.
Figure 1. California uses 5% of its grid capacity for only 50 hours per year. Courtesy PG&E.
An airline executive once said you don't build an airline based on demand over the Thanksgiving holiday. Essentially the idea of Demand Response is to flatten the curve shown in Figure 1 by giving grid operators the ability to turn off loads. Going back to the airline analogy, think of Demand Response as overbooking; instead of asking for volunteers to be compensated for giving up their seats, the electric utility is asking for volunteers to be compensated for giving up charging their car (or running the AC and so forth).
Adding to the complication, not only does CAISO have to cope with cars plugging in but they also have to contend with legions of renewable energy sources that wax or wane depending on, of all things, the weather! As a bona fide rocket scientist, the engineers who have to manage this have nothing but my respect.
This phenomenon has been explained by the infamous "duck curve" (Figure 2): a juxtaposition of a day's energy demand with generation from renewable sources superimposed. This net is the energy generation required by traditional energy sources (large hydro and what is known as thermal being two of the most common). Anticipating ever-increasing renewables coming online and extrapolating out a few years, the family of curves is said to look like the profile of a duck.
Figure 2 -- The Duck Curve is the result of actual power demand with renewable sources superimposed. Courtesy of CAISO.
Just as the sun is setting and significant solar production is winding down for the day, people are rushing home, plugging in their cars, cooking dinner and turning on the air conditioning. In simple terms, renewable production is going down just as demand is starting to peak in the late afternoon and early evening, and a lot of power needs to come online, sometimes too fast to bring on new energy production. Figure 2 highlights a case from February 2016 of an almost 11 GW increase over just 3 hours.
There have been studies about EVs supplying energy to the grid (known as Vehicle to Grid or V2G). That's not what we are talking about here. While V2G could be an important technology at some point in the future, it has a set of logistical headaches to deal with that frankly may never get worked out. Studies have shown, however, that giving control to grid operators over EV charging is 80% as effective as V2G but with far lower costs and fewer logistical headaches as acknowledged by Michael Liebreich in his address to the Bloomberg New Energy Finance Summit.
Demand Response programs are nothing new. Hydro-Quebec has been using them for decades giving financial incentives to residents to allow the utility to control their heating and air conditioning during periods when the grid is struggling to meet demand. Many other utilities participate in various other residential Demand Response programs.
1- EVs create an interesting opportunity because the loads are higher than anything else in the average home. Multiplied by many homes, EVs gives the utility a very powerful tool at their disposal to curb peak consumption at critical times.
2- EVs create an interesting risk because consumers are not going to be happy if they go out to their cars expecting to be able to go about their business only to find that the utility has delayed charging on their vehicle.
3- BMW gave PG&E a powerful tool with the i3 because of the i3's real-time telematics and the ability to pause and restore a charge session remotely.
4- BMW also gave PG&E a powerful tool because they guaranteed 100 kW of power reduction at PG&E's demand.
5- Last but not least, BMW gave the ability for consumers to opt out of any Demand Response event, giving i3 owners the peace of mind they needed to participate in meaningful large numbers.
The BMW-PG&E Demand Response program, formally known as the BMW i ChargeForward program, consists of two major components. The first is 225 kWh of battery storage at BMW's Mountain View Technology Center, capable of delivering 100 kW of power back to the grid on demand. This battery storage is made of BMW Group 2nd Life batteries from the MINI-E program that were repurposed specifically for the BMW i ChargeForward program.
The second major component is nearly one hundred customer-owned BMW i3s in the San Francisco Bay Area. The real-world complication that this added was drivers may or may not be charging their cars when PG&E has a Demand Response, and those drivers may or may not have opted out of a Demand Response for that day. But this was believed to be manageable and the program ultimately verified it was manageable.
After 18 months of the BMW i ChargeForward program, BMW and PG&E have now published an extensive report describing the results and also characterizing the drivers who participated. You can read PG&E's blog entry summarizing this study here and obtain a full copy of their report here.
What Was It Like to Participate in the BMW i ChargeForward Program? What was Learned?
As previously mentioned, BMW gathered the participants together for group interviews several times over the 18 months of Phase One. There were several participants whom I would classify as "like me," meaning nerdy to the point of unreasonable giddiness about numbers. But there were also plenty of people who just drove their cars neither knowing nor caring about the technology that made them work.
The program was designed to let people go about their business without worry or overhead. It excelled at this. During the group interviews, most admitted to forgetting that BMW may stop the charge on their car. It was just never an issue.
BMW gave us an app on our phones so we could see the Demand Response and opt out if we were charging. My experience was that initially I checked the app daily to see if there was an active Demand Response. But eventually I got bored and went weeks without peeking at the app. Most in the program went the entire 18-month duration of the program without ever being aware their car's charging was being remotely managed.
And yet the data clearly shows that the program was a raging success.
Over the 18 months of the study there were 209 Demand Response events. Putting that into context, PG&E's SmartRate residential Demand Response program is capped at 15 per year. PG&E is giddy at the prospect of broadening the program.
Figure 3 - The target for each Demand Response event was 100 kW back to the grid. This figure shows that on average, 20% came from reduced load by way of delayed charging and 80% came from BMW second life batteries. Courtesy PG&E.
Each Demand Response event was to deliver 100 kW back to the grid. Figure 3 shows that on average, 80% of this came from BMW's second life battery storage and the remainder came from delayed charging of the 100 i3s in the test.
As one could imagine, the most participation in the program came from Demand Response events that occurred in the wee hours of the morning when most cars were actually charging. Figure 4 shows both the average number of cars participating as well as the power contributed, distributed by hour of day for the events.
Figure 4 - Participation in Demand Response events varied greatly depending on the time of day. Courtesy PG&E.
Most importantly, the program demonstrated that opt out rates were astonishingly low, as shown in Figure 5.
Figure 5 - Courtesy PG&E.
The program enlisted ~100 i3 drivers from around the Bay Area, but the number of vehicles participating in any given event was far fewer, as shown in Figure 6. Conversely, on average the typical vehicle participated in only 8 out of the 209 Demand Response events with one vehicle never participating and another participating in 70, as shown in Figure 7.
Figure 6 - Courtesy PG&E.
Figure 7 - Courtesy PG&E.
The full report gives far more detail than can be summarized here.
The BMW i ChargeForward program was so successful that Phase 2, now underway, has been expanded to 250 vehicles and includes not only the i3, but all BMW plug-in models. In Phase 1 of the program, charging was only monitored and delayed if the vehicle was at the owner's home. It was assumed if the car was charging away from home that it was doing so out of necessity. Phase 2 of the program extends to all charging whether at home or in public, including workplace charging, and still gives owners the option to opt out.
During the final group interview it was made clear that PG&E wanted to incentivize participants to charge during daytime hours. One glance at the Duck Curve and it is easy to see why. Any utility is hugely incentivized to get EVs to charge during periods of large solar production and to stop charging as that production begins to wane for the day. Phase 2 is designed to learn the behaviors of drivers while they are charging away from home, perhaps with the hope of discovering how to incentive drivers to charge during the day. During my "exit interview" from Phase 1 I made it pretty clear that access to a plug during the day was what was required, and no driver incentive was likely to change that.
As an EV enthusiast I was excited to participate in the BMW i ChargeForward program, but even more importantly, I was satisfied knowing that BMW and PG&E were developing ways to make EVs the solution instead of castigating them as the problem.

Kaizōsha (改造社) was a major Japanese publishing company in the first half of the 20th century. Its achievements included publishing Kaizō, a popular general interest magazine which carried both works of fiction and articles pertaining to social issues and socialist thought. The company also was a major publishing outlet for literature.

History

Kaizōsha was founded in 1919 by the Japanese journalist Yamamoto Sanehiko (1885-1952), who became its president. He began by launching the general interest magazine, Kaizō (改造; English, "Reconstruction"), which during the 1920s would become a forum for Marxist and socialist debate. Contributors included Sakai Toshihiko, Yamakawa Hitoshi, Osugi Sakae, Kawakami Hajime and Kagawa Toyohiko. The magazine also published articles by foreign intellectuals such as Bertrand Russell and Albert Einstein, with the result that it became a voice in Japan of "new trends in thought and science".

Yamamoto also invited Russell, Einstein and other prominent foreign personalities, including Margaret Sanger (March 1922)  and George Bernard Shaw (February 1933), to visit Japan.

When Bertrand Russell was a guest professor at Peking University for ten months in 1920-21, the Kaizō magazine invited him to visit Japan. He accepted and upon his arrival on 17 July 1921 was welcomed by Yamamoto. He visited Kobe, Osaka, Nara, Kyoto and Tokyo and then sailed from Yokohama. During his tour he met many of the country's intellectuals and gave one lecture. Before and after his visit Russell contributed fifteen essays to Kaizō, which were published in English-Japanese bilingual editions and all "discussed social and political problems, except one on the Theory of Relativity".

In the following year Yamamoto arranged a six-week tour of Japan for Albert Einstein and his wife Elsa. Einstein arrived in the country just after he had been informed by telegram in Shanghai that he had won the Nobel Prize.  While in Japan Einstein had meetings with many of Japan's intellectuals, gave a series of fifteen lectures, and was presented to Japan's Emperor and Empress. Yamamoto, who had been the first person to publish Einstein's works in Japanese, now published a transcript of one of the latter's Japan lectures in Kaizō, which was notable in part for being Einstein's first work published after becoming a Nobel laureate.

Book series published by the firm included Gendai Nihon Bungaku Zenshū (現代日本文学全集) (English, "Complete Works of Contemporary Japanese Literature") (1926) and Kaizō Bunko (改造文庫; English, "Kaizō Paperback Library") (1929-1944). Each volume in both series was priced at one yen or less, a price which could be afforded by ordinary wage earners (previously books had been regularly priced at three yen each). The Kaizō Bunko series was designed to compete on price with the more expensive Iwanami Bunko series. By issuing inexpensive and revolutionary "enpon" (books costing just one yen each), Kaizōsha ignited a "revolutionary change" in the Showa publishing world.

Kaizōsha attempted to interpret Chinese culture for Japanese citizens by publishing translations of "contemporary Chinese writers, including Lu Xun" and by bringing "Chinese and Japanese writers together for both formal and informal exchange". In its early years the firm had published Marxist and socialist works, including multi-volume Japanese translations of Marx's Das Kapital, and over the decades it continued publish works by progressive authors, such as the feminist writer, Fumiko Hayashi.

In 1933 Kaizōsha launched Bungei (文藝) (English, "The Literary Arts"), a popular monthly literary magazine.

Decline
World War II saw increases in political repression, with events such as the Yokohama incident, in which three dozen intellectuals (including editors of Kaizō) were arrested. In July 1944 Kaizōsha, despite having tried from the late 1930s to accommodate some of the demands of the government, was disbanded due to military pressure, when it and another publisher, Chuokoron-Shinsha, whose output included the famous literary magazine, Chūō Kōron, were instructed by the Japanese Government's Home Ministry to close their businesses and both companies were dissolved at the end of the month.

After the war Kaizōsha re-opened and new issues of Kaizō magazine appeared, but the Kaizō Bunko book series remained closed. The firm's founder and president Yamamoto Sanehiko was elected as politician but died in 1952. Partly due to management problems and labour disputes, the firm's  publishing operation closed permanently in 1955. Since the 2010s, there has been a chain of Kaizō-sha bookshops in Japan that is not associated with any publishing activities.
