Overheard at Cargo Facts Symposium Part I: Air cargo still on the upswing
Cargo Facts Symposium 2018, Features, News
Panelists discuss the outlook for air cargo in 2019 during the opening session of this year's Cargo Facts Symposium.
SAN DIEGO – A crowd of senior air cargo executives gathered for Cargo Facts Symposium 2018, held this year for the first time at the Omni San Diego. Once again, attendees were enlightened with presentations and discussions from some of air cargo's best and brightest while enjoying networking opportunities with the people shaping the air freight industry.
In addition to a well-attended plenary session during which speakers and attendees reaffirmed continued bullish sentiment for air cargo into 2019, this year's Symposium featured an Air Cargo Fundamentals workshop for both seasoned industry professionals and new entrants into the air cargo industry. Attendees enjoyed frank discussions with their peers about a variety of pertinent topics to today's industry, including how to think about fleet planning decisions and strategies for innovating air cargo operations.
Of course, one of the joys of Cargo Facts events is listening closely, not just to what is said on the stage, but also during the coffee breaks, at the cocktail receptions, and in the hallways. We like to summarize those insights every year under the title: "Overheard at Cargo Facts Symposium." Today we start with Part I of our two-part coverage of this year's event. Join us tomorrow for an overview of developments pertaining to narrowbody conversions and e-commerce trends.
Carriers are bullish on cargo through 2019. As we noted in our earlier coverage of the Symposium, carriers are still optimistic about air freight despite concerns over tariffs. Growth has slowed during 2018 compared to double-digit increases in traffic during 2017, but during the opening session on air cargo trends, Ian Morgan, Vice President Cargo Americas, Qatar Airways Cargo, said the statistics can obscure the real growth story of air cargo, which is found in the behavior of cargo customers. "We see growth in every sector of the market – perishables, automotive, everything is growing," he said. The future also looks bright, as "there is now more conversation about long-term commitments and strategy," so that "the rest of this year is fine, [and] next year still remains positive."
Michael Steen, Executive Vice President & Chief Commercial Officer, Atlas Air Worldwide, also pointed out that cargo traffic numbers from the International Air Transport Association (IATA) don't show the whole picture when it comes to air cargo traffic. "We have to remember that IATA numbers are only what is reported by IATA members," he said during the panel discussion. "Domestic express in China is not reported, growing e-commerce is not reported, and it's important we register that as an industry."
Roadblocks still stand for Latin American cargo growth. Brazil's economic recovery has helped to spur growth in the Latin American air freight market, but during a discussion of the region, panelists focused on a lack of sufficient infrastructure to support the sort of growth developing in Asia and other markets over the past few years. Marcelo Penna, US Cargo Country Manager for Azul Cargo Express, said that there is great potential for growth, but that airports often lack either infrastructure, customs clearance, or cargo handling capacity to support growing cross-border volumes. Andrés Bianchi, CEO of Chile-based LATAM Cargo, agreed: "The facilities are not good, especially for a continent that mainly ships perishables commodities… Processes are cumbersome. Sometimes it takes too long to get cargo processed in and out of the plane."
As with other cargo operations across the globe, cargo directionality is also a problem in Latin America. Panelists found different ways to address that in their operations, with Jaime Alvarez Price, Senior Director, COPA Airlines Cargo, noting that COPA subsidizes its belly cargo operations by working with third-party freighter operators when needed. This can be a particularly major issue in Latin America, which is known for its produce exports to the US and Europe, and which is growing its exports to Asia, but the imbalance is expected to decrease as Latin American economies improve and demand for e-commerce continues to grow.
Belly cargo likely won't overtake maindeck capacity. During a panel discussion on the future of widebody freighters, Boeing's Tom Crabtree listed five major factors that Boeing expects will keep a majority of air cargo moving on freighters, rather than in the belly holds of passenger aircraft. First, since a majority of the global jet fleet is made up of narrowbody aircraft, there simply isn't enough capacity available on passenger flights to support growing cargo demand. There also aren't enough passenger flights to meet capacity needs when most cargo is flying, since general cargo traffic moves primarily on weekends to allow for transit between factories. As a third point, Crabtree noted that not all cargo can fly on passenger aircraft, particularly certain cargo that falls into the dangerous goods category. Live animal shipments also often require maindeck transportation. The fourth major factor is that freight forwarders are still in control of most air cargo shipments, and finally, the majority of jet aircraft operating today aren't equipped to handle containerized cargo. While this laundry list of factors bodes well for the future of freighters, Airbus' Oliver von Tronchin noted the main factor in belly holds' favor is cost. Unlike Boeing, Airbus expects belly cargo to have the edge during a potential downturn, as belly cargo provides the lowest-cost option for air freight.
Paperless is the priority. While drones, robotics and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are attention-grabbing innovations in the sector, in a roundtable discussion during the opening workshop, attendees said digital sharing of information is a higher priority for the industry. Representatives from two major carriers called blockchain "the future of air cargo," but the industry will need to walk before it can run and when it comes to digitalization, that means walking away from paper. Moving to electronic air waybills (e-AWBs) is challenging for a number of reasons, and first among them is the fact that every country has different customs requirements, with most still demanding paper documentation. An airport representative also told Cargo Facts that small and mid-sized industry players are reluctant to opt into extensive sharing of data because they are concerned about competition within the industry. However, the larger operators believe the faster processes and greater reliability and transparency outweigh any negatives that come from the digitalization process, and said that it is up to the International Air Transport Association (IATA) to drive innovation among carriers.

Q: PHP multiple drop down select Hoping someone can help me with this... I have a program I am writing in PHP and ajax that has multiple select boxes and with each select populates the next drop down box. I need to $_Post multiple options and use these to run a mysql query.
Here is my layout:
I have:

Camera:

<select name="camera" id="camera-list" class="demoInputBox"
onChange="getCod(this.value);">
<option value="">Select Camera</option>
</select>

Codec:

<select name="codec" id="codec-list" class="demoInputBox"
onChange="getFra(this.value);">
<option value="">Select Codec</option>
</select>

Framerate:

<select name="framerate" id="framerate-list" class="demoInputBox">
<option value="">Select Framerate</option>
</select>

with function:
function getCod(val) {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "get_codec.php",
data:'camID='+val,
success: function(data){
    $("#codec-list").html(data);
}
});
}

function getFra(val) {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "get_framerate.php",
data:'codID='+val,
success: function(data){
    $("#framerate-list").html(data);
}
});
}

how do I retrieve both Post values to use in a mysql query
example mysql query i am trying to run:
<?php
require_once("dbcontroller.php");
$db_handle = new DBController();
if(!empty($_POST["camID"]["codID"])) {
$query ="SELECT framerate FROM cam_stat WHERE (cam_id = '" . $_POST["camID"]
. "') and ( codec = '" . $_POST["codID"] . "')";
$results = $db_handle->runQuery($query);
?>
<option value="">Select Framerate</option>
<?php
foreach($results as $framerate) {
?>
<option value="<?php echo $framerate["ID"]; ?>"><?php echo
$framerate["framerate"]; ?></option>
<?php
}
}
?>

mysql table sample:
ID, cam_id, resolution, codec, framerate, compression, datarate

Note: in this table there can be multiple codecs that are the same for each cam_id, I am trying to get the next select box to show the possible framerates where the cam_id equals the selected and the codec also equals the selected.
I am new to posting on these kind of threads so forgive me if my question doesnt make since... i am trying to retrieve the post of camid and codid to insert into my query... any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

« Who Do You Trust?
In this blog post I begin with a consideration of the pitfalls and issues with the documentary project. I follow up with a brief exposition on my personal development through this project and ponder suggestions for any future groups taking on this project. A quick note of thanks to Dr. McClurken, I greatly appreciated the opportunities we have this semester to take on unique projects. He risked this course's success by entrusting us to select viable projects and course readings.
I acquired a number of new skills that I would not have otherwise even begun to think about, yet even this process came with issues. In crafting a documentary I had no idea where one began. You can read first, which may inform your questions, but without doing interviews right away the rest of the documentary feels formless. However, many guides and tutorials suggest building a storyboard of what you would like to tell. While I am certainly not artistic in my storytelling, but how can you create a storyboard without already having the story? I learned how to start building relations with interviewees and set up meetings. My group thoroughly discussed tips and techniques to keep an individual somewhat on subject, namely how to politely steer the conversation back to a relevant direction. The best skill I picked up was how to edit video.
Prior to this project, I had some inkling of how to work out audio issues, but video presented a new mystery to me. Thanks to substantial online tutorials and my project partner's strong eye for editing, I felt supremely confident in my ability to sniff out bad cuts and how to overlay a good b-roll. There will always be the obstacle of learning a new piece of technology, but consider that the technology is a platform for you to tell a story. If such is the case, despite the difference in buttons and functions, different programs will expect the user to bring the same set of skills to the table. Do you know how to find a problem with video? Do you understand how to keep a viewer mentally engaged with your work? These are a couple of the underlying questions one must ponder. My partner was not familiar with Premiere but felt right at home with Avid. Although these are two different programs, her strong editing skills can shine through in both. I love editing video and adding audio tracks that blow people's minds.
With any project, the key lesson is knowing how to budget time, however time is again an overarching issue. One should mainly note that in a group project the core issue is dividing workload. I found balancing the work power of four people to be exceedingly difficult, especially given my dearth of skills. Regardless, I should have considered ways to play to each individual's strengths and time availability. Each member of my group gave this project their full time and attention, but at some moments there was little for them to take care of. Truth be told, video editing can be a solo job and does not require a committee at the very beginning. Given that, how do you divvy out a four person group? Perhaps the lesson here is understanding the nature of the project and potential job roles for each participant. I wouldn't want to take away from anyone's learning experience, which can easily happen when individuals only take jobs they are already proficient at. I find this to be a particularly hard balancing act and would love to get other opinions on the matter.
I fell in love with this documentary project and already have ideas rolling through my mind about the next short piece. With only a few weeks left in the semester, I can't believe it has taken me four years at UMW to realize that I love film work. Better late than never, and there is nothing wrong with pursuing documentary as a hobby, right?

Revenooer Rants: IRS commish heading for early retirement?
Jeff Quinn
Revenooer Rants
Seems as if that's pretty much how it's looking — the House Judiciary Committee has scheduled hearings to examine alleged misconduct by Commish Koskinen, we hear.
On May 24 (just next week) the Judiciary Committee will hear the findings of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee's investigation of the Chief Revenooer!
Congressman Jim Jordan (R-Oh) has expressed his view thusly: "I applaud Chairman Goodlatte's decision to hold hearings on the resolution for impeachment of IRS Commissioner John Koskinen. Commissioner Koskinen failed to fulfill his duty to the American people by allowing back-up tapes containing potentially 24,000 emails to be destroyed. He failed to inform Congress about the destruction of these back-up tapes in a timely manner … Alexander Hamilton wrote in the Federalist papers that impeachment should be used to protect the public against 'the abuse or violation of some public trust.' Commissioner Koskinen has most assuredly violated the public trust…"
And while Koskinen stews over this turn of events, we ponder the recently released IRS tome, "IRS Future State: Overview — The Path Traveled and the Road Ahead." This look toward the future self-assessment notes, among other things:
Over the last decade, the IRS has made significant progress by improving tax processing and account management systems (It has?).
However, reduced funding and loss of resources at the IRS have jeopardized voluntary compliance.
The IRS has intensified efforts to enhance voluntary compliance by designing, developing and implementing approaches to tax administration that are more proactive, accessible and interactive.
These efforts are known collectively as the IRS "Future State."
Check out this "Future State" draft if you're interested in more of the details, including a bunch of pretty graphs and flow charts, as well as a bunch of high-minded, futuristic jargon worthy of a Harvard professor, though not terribly indicative of the detail which will make much sense to the average Joe Sixpack.
As far as the "Next Steps in the Journey," take heart in the ultimate "step" which IRS says will constitute "Performance Monitoring and Reporting": "As initiatives launch, IRS will carefully track performance towards the Enterprise goals, as well as more broadly assess progress toward the Future State. Input from employees, taxpayers, and other stakeholders will be critical to this assessment."
CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISER – This article contains general information about various tax matters. You should consult your CPA regarding the implications to your own particular situation.

Q: Casting Operator on a null string in Specman I am developing some RTL checkers in Specman E and using type conversion to process a command line argument.
The code is as follows,
if(get_symbol("SWITCH").as_a(uint) > 10) {

  do something;

};

The command line has an option SWITCH=10. The problem is the test fails if there is no switch with the error.
*** Error: Looking for a number but found 'an empty string'

How can I avoid this error? Is there is way to give some default value to the casting operator so that whenever it processes null it returns a zero instead? Ofcourse I can first check whether the string is null and only then proceed. But I want to avoid that extra line and see if I can play around with as_a.
Thanks.

A: This is how casting from string to number works - if it's not a number, you get an error.
You could wrap it in a try block to catch the error, but if you know for sure that the only other possibility is an empty string (and not any other non-number string), the best solution is simply to check whether the string is empty.

A: I am afraid you can't work around this problem without having the extra line.
The .as_a() is function of the string object, but get_symbol() will return a null string if SWITCH is not defined in the command line.

This species is strictly an Atlantic species. It is replaced in the Indo-Pacific region by the closely related Abudefduf vaigiensis (G. Allen, pers. comm.).
Maturity: Lm 15.0, range 10 - ? cm
Max length : 22.9 cm TL male/unsexed; (Ref. 26340); common length : 15.0 cm SL male/unsexed; (Ref. 3139); max. published weight: 200.00 g (Ref. 5288)
Dorsal spines (total): 13; Dorsal soft rays (total): 12-13; Anal spines: 2; Anal soft rays: 10 - 12. Greenish yellow above, shading to white below, with 5 prominent vertical black bars that narrow toward belly (Ref. 26938). A faint sixth bar may be present posteriorly on caudal peduncle; a black spot at upper base of pectoral fin. The adult male becomes dark bluish, the black bars thus less conspicuous on the body (Ref. 13442).
Juveniles are common in tide pools while adults are found over shallow reef tops. Adults frequently form large feeding aggregations of up to several hundred individuals. Food items include algae, small crustaceans and fish, and various invertebrate larvae (Ref. 3139). At Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, this species feeds on spinner dolphins' feces and vomits. The offal feeding may be regarded as a simple behavioral shift from plankton feeding to drifting offal picking. Also, juveniles may hold cleaning stations together with the doctorfish (Acanthurus chirurgus) and the blue tang (Acanthurus coeruleus) and graze algae as well as pick molted skin and parasites from green turtles (Chelonia mydas ). This behavior is preceded by a characteristic inspection usually followed by feeding nips on the turtles' skin (head, limbs, and tail), as well as on the carapace. The most inspected and cleaned body parts are the flippers (Ref. 48727, 51385). Adult males adopt a bluish ground color when guarding eggs. Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Eggs are demersal and adhere to the substrate (Ref. 205). Attracted to divers who feed fish. Marketed fresh (Ref. 3139). Has been reared in captivity (Ref. 35420).

  ```
  sequence_length(b) <= time for all b

  max(labels.indices(labels.indices[:, 1] == b, 2))
    <= sequence_length(b) for all b.
  ```

  Notes:

  This class performs the softmax operation for you, so inputs should
  be e.g. linear projections of outputs by an LSTM.

  The `inputs` Tensor's innermost dimension size, `num_classes`, represents
  `num_labels + 1` classes, where num_labels is the number of true labels, and
  the largest value `(num_classes - 1)` is reserved for the blank label.

  For example, for a vocabulary containing 3 labels `[a, b, c]`,
  `num_classes = 4` and the labels indexing is `{a: 0, b: 1, c: 2, blank: 3}`.

  Regarding the arguments `preprocess_collapse_repeated` and
  `ctc_merge_repeated`:

  If `preprocess_collapse_repeated` is True, then a preprocessing step runs
  before loss calculation, wherein repeated labels passed to the loss
  are merged into single labels.  This is useful if the training labels come
  from, e.g., forced alignments and therefore have unnecessary repetitions.

  If `ctc_merge_repeated` is set False, then deep within the CTC calculation,
  repeated non-blank labels will not be merged and are interpreted
  as individual labels.  This is a simplified (non-standard) version of CTC.

  Here is a table of the (roughly) expected first order behavior:

  * `preprocess_collapse_repeated=False`, `ctc_merge_repeated=True`

    Classical CTC behavior: Outputs true repeated classes with blanks in
    between, and can also output repeated classes with no blanks in
    between that need to be collapsed by the decoder.

  * `preprocess_collapse_repeated=True`, `ctc_merge_repeated=False`

    Never learns to output repeated classes, as they are collapsed
    in the input labels before training.

  * `preprocess_collapse_repeated=False`, `ctc_merge_repeated=False`

    Outputs repeated classes with blanks in between, but generally does not
    require the decoder to collapse/merge repeated classes.

  * `preprocess_collapse_repeated=True`, `ctc_merge_repeated=True`

    Untested.  Very likely will not learn to output repeated classes.

  The `ignore_longer_outputs_than_inputs` option allows to specify the behavior
  of the CTCLoss when dealing with sequences that have longer outputs than
  inputs. If true, the CTCLoss will simply return zero gradient for those
  items, otherwise an InvalidArgument error is returned, stopping training.

  Args:
    labels: An `int32` `SparseTensor`.
      `labels.indices[i, :] == [b, t]` means `labels.values[i]` stores
      the id for (batch b, time t).
      `labels.values[i]` must take on values in `[0, num_labels)`.
      See `core/ops/ctc_ops.cc` for more details.
    inputs: 3-D `float` `Tensor`.
      If time_major == False, this will be a `Tensor` shaped:
        `[batch_size x max_time x num_classes]`.
      If time_major == True (default), this will be a `Tensor` shaped:
        `[max_time x batch_size x num_classes]`.

    sequence_length: 1-D `int32` vector, size `[batch_size]`.
      The sequence lengths.
    preprocess_collapse_repeated: Boolean.  Default: False.
      If True, repeated labels are collapsed prior to the CTC calculation.
    ctc_merge_repeated: Boolean.  Default: True.
    ignore_longer_outputs_than_inputs: Boolean. Default: False.
      If True, sequences with longer outputs than inputs will be ignored.
    time_major: The shape format of the `inputs` Tensors.
      If True, these `Tensors` must be shaped `[max_time, batch_size, num_classes]`.
      If False, these `Tensors` must be shaped `[batch_size, max_time, num_classes]`.
      Using `time_major = True` (default) is a bit more efficient because it avoids
      transposes at the beginning of the ctc_loss calculation.  However, most
      TensorFlow data is batch-major, so by this function also accepts inputs
      in batch-major form.

  Returns:

Just a quick re-read of an old classic favourite of mine before going to bed last night. If there's anyone out there that hasn't read it, please do; it's excellent. Can anyone recommend the Bancroft/Hopkins adaptation?


Web Friendly teaches social media strategies to tackle the two biggest challenges in marketing: lowering acquisition costs, and increasing lifetime value.
Facebook has continued to be the reigning champ of social media networks, as the #1 spot where people connect and share online. More than just a meeting place for friends, Facebook is venue for businesses to market their products and services through interaction with prospects and customers. .
Clearly, Facebook has become a key marketing piece for business success. But how do you make that happen on limited time and budget? In this presentation we will be looking at ten ways you can use Facebook for marketing even if you're on a shoestring budget.
Put all this information in your about you page inform people about what you do but don't be overly salesy.
Don't share anything on Facebook that you would not want the whole world to see. Even in private messages.
Dirty trick to fake credibility. Not recommended but some people do it for social proof.
But you want real engagement on you page for it to become successful and you need reel fans to have a business.
This will ensure more people will see it friends and friends of you fans will also see it.
Every time Facebook ads a new feature try it out as you always get the best results in the beginning for way cheaper.
Only tag people that are in the photo otherwise you are spamming people.
Being consistent in posting is the difference between success and failure.
Find relevant content that your audience would like to see.
Share you life not just your business. Like creating a reality show about you. Helps build a relationship with your audience they get to see who you really are.
Use pay per impression. The more time they see it the more likely they will engage with your content.
Run ads for a week. Turn it off then back on to refresh it.
Ads seem to die off automatically.
You can get very specific. Been on this page and made it to this point.
Don't be scared to ask people for the sale but add value first.
Ask yourself. How would you like to be sold to?


"HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU ALL," my doctor, an internist and cardiologist, wrote in an email that he broadcast to his patients in January 2012. I returned the wish and requested ideas for subjects for my blog, which he followed.
To my delight he replied with some pithy titles, the first of which was "Foods that raise HDL." HDL is "the good cholesterol" in your lipid profile. He was interested because my HDL had almost doubled from 43 average to 78 average since he suggested that I begin eating Very Low Carb (VLC) 10 years earlier. And he observed the changes.
The desired range for men is ≥40mg/dl, and for women ≥ 50mg/dl. Before I started to eat VLC my HDLs averaged 43 (16 values over 22 years: 48, 44, 61, 53, 50, 42, 41, 39, 38, 37, 38, 38, 39, 41, 39 & 42). Since I began eating VLC my HDLs have averaged 78 (14 values: 67, 92, 78, 71, 78, 81, 86, 91, 98, 67, 57, 63, 79 & 86). I don't know what has caused my HDL to go up since I started eating Very Low Carb, but it's gotta be the foods I eat. What else?
The other lipid test that has dramatically improved over the same period is triglycerides. Before I started Very Low Carb, my triglyceride average of 21 previous lipid tests was 137. My triglycerides average for the last (most recent) 21 lipid tests has been 54. I attribute this dramatic improvement mostly to taking fish oil supplements (4 grams/day initially, then down to 2 grams/day). I also eat a can of sardines packed in olive oil almost every day for lunch.
At the time (2012), for breakfast I ate 2 fried eggs, 2 strips of bacon, and a big cup of coffee with full cream and two Splenda. For lunch I usually ate a can of sardines in olive oil and some Splenda sweetened iced tea. Note: both meals, all protein and fat; No juice or fruit or bread or cereal or jelly or milk or sugar, all high in carbohydrates.
I ate no snacks mid-morning or mid-afternoon. I didn't need them. I wasn't hungry. The fat and protein provided satiety and supported my other needs. My body was running on fat, my fat, both the fat I ate and my body fat. I was now a 'fat burner,' not a 'sugar burner.' The body gets the small amount of glucose it needs from the small amount I eat and from ketone bodies from the breakdown of fat cells (triglycerides) and from gluconeogenesis.
Gluconeogenesis occurs when the amino acids from the protein I ate that was not taken up by muscles, etc. is stored in the liver and is then reconstituted as glucose ("gluco-neo-genesis") when the body needs it.
For dinner I ate a small portion of protein (roasted, baked or broiled, not deep fried), a selected vegetable, and sometimes a glass or two of red wine. I avoided carrots, peas, corn or beets. They all contain too much sugar. And, of course, I don't eat pasta or starchy root vegetables like potatoes, or winter squash, or grains like rice and couscous. I also try to avoid everything made with or cooked in vegetable oil, -- any "vegetable" (seed) oil. The oils I use are olive oil, butter, ghee and coconut oil, a very good "Medium Chain Triglyceride," It's a saturated fat, but because of its medium chain length, it 'burns' quickly and easily for energy, instead of being stored as body fat.
I intentionally select fatty meats and fish, eat chicken with the skin on (the skin is mostly monounsaturated fat), and like to slow cook (braise) grass-fed cuts of meat (brisket, osso bucco, shanks, hocks, etc. I do not limit dietary saturated fats or cholesterol. I eat all the shrimp and liver and free-range, pastured chicken eggs I want. And the result? Well, go back to the beginning of this Retrospective. My HDL has gone from 43 to 78 and my triglycerides from 137 to 54, on account of what I eat. My LDL and Total Cholesterol have both remained essentially constant.
So, doc, my answer to your question is that I really don't know what SPECIFIC foods have raised my HDL and lowered my triglycerides. My answer is it's the Way of Eating YOU SUGGESTED 10 years ago after you read Gary Taubes' cover story, "What If It's All Been a Big Fat Lie" in The New York Times Sunday Magazine. You told me that after you read that article, you tried the diet yourself for 6 weeks and lost 17 pounds. You then suggested I do it too. And, as you know, I lost 170 pounds!


Millions of years ago, the coast of California was home to a species of porpoise distinguished from its living relatives by a lower jaw that extended well beyond the upper. In other words, the long-lost porpoise had a rather distinct and unusual underbite.
Careful analysis of the fossilizedSemirostrum ceruttii skull also shows that the porpoise's pronounced beak included innervated jaws, which the animal likely used to feel for prey along the ocean floor.
Although Richard Cerutti, the collector from the San Diego Natural History Museum who first found the specimen in 1.6 to 5 million-year-old rock formations along the California coast in 1990, immediately recognized it as special, Racicot and her colleagues didn't really know what they had until they began to pore over medical CT scans taken years later. Those images revealed a long, thin, and nearly toothless lower jaw with a fused mandible and, of course, that underbite.
The scans uncovered other hidden details, including sensory structures in the lower jaw similar to those found in seabirds called black skimmers and small fish called half-beaks, both of which use their lower jaws to help them feel around for food at night or under low-light conditions. Further study showed that the porpoise's optic canals were smaller than those in modern porpoise species as well, suggesting that the extinct animal also had poor eyesight.
The evidence led the researchers to suspect that Semirostrum depended on its very sensitive lower jaw, together with its echolocation abilities, to find prey.
The porpoise—which comparative morphology analysis suggests is a sister species to modern-day porpoises—was in some ways similar to today's freshwater river dolphins. "Today we don't find anything resembling river dolphins in the same kinds of habitats that Semirostrum likely occupied," Racicot says, adding that the porpoise lineage may have become more specialized over evolutionary time.
The discovery is a forerunner of many yet to come as digital 3D imaging revolutionizes the nondestructive study of museum specimens, the researchers say.
"Many exciting new species awaiting description are lying in museum collections, but the sort of detailed descriptions that are required to do full justice to them often take a lot of time," Racicot says.

Combining AI with Data Analytics is opening new opportunities for large organisations to develop their employee's ability to read, understand and ultimately make better decisions with data.
Building up Data Analytics capability has been a major priority for most large organisations within the last decade.
As organisations become more data mature, they become more and more aware of the need to transform their company culture to truly leverage the potential of data-driven insights.
In order to make relevant and timely data-driven decisions, employees need to be able to understand and interpret data themselves, without being dependent on their analytics team to generate those insights for them.
Hyper Anna is enabling organisations to shorten time to value in their analytics value chain. Hyper Anna software is built with natural language processing and artificial intelligence capabilities, offering non-technical employees a self-serve analytics platform to access automatically generated insights. With Hyper Anna, employees can directly ask questions about their business problematics, and access intelligible insights in a matter of seconds.
This is an invaluable opportunity for organisations to accompany their organisation's transformation into a data-driven culture.

Attorney General Bob Ferguson and a multistate coalition asked a federal court to allow them to intervene in a lawsuit in order to defend the Affordable Care Act (ACA). More than 800,000 Washingtonians depend on the ACA for their health care.
States led by Texas and Wisconsin filed the most recent challenge to the ACA in February. Those states argue that, because Congress eliminated the tax penalty used as enforcement of the individual mandate in December 2017, the entire ACA is no longer constitutional.
Ferguson, 14 states and the District of Columbia filed a motion to intervene in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas to defend the ACA.
Since the ACA went into effect, Washington's uninsured rate dropped by 60 percent, and now fewer than 6 percent of Washingtonians are without health insurance.
If the ACA is eliminated, Washingtonians would lose an average of $295 per month in federal premium subsidies, and more than 600,000 people enrolled in Apple Health as part of the ACA's Medicaid expansion would lose coverage. Insurers would once again be allowed to discriminate based on medical history, and patients would again be subject to annual and lifetime limits to their health benefits.
Ferguson has defended the ACA on multiple occasions, including defending against a previous challenge to the law by the U.S. House of Representatives, and filing a lawsuit to ensure critical funding would continue. Ferguson also filed two "friend of the court" briefs in cases challenging tax credits for low- and middle-income people buying health insurance (Halbig v. Burwell and King v. Burwell).
Assistant Attorney General Jeff Sprung is handling the case for Washington.

Bright Spots Shine In Newest Dawn Ceres Images
The brightest spots on dwarf planet Ceres are seen in this image taken by NASA's Dawn spacecraft on June 6, 2015. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/UCLA/MPS/DLR/IDA
June 11, 2015 – New images of dwarf planet Ceres, taken by NASA's Dawn spacecraft, show the cratered surface of this mysterious world in sharper detail than ever before. These are among the first snapshots from Dawn's second mapping orbit, which is 2,700 miles (4,400 kilometers) above Ceres.
The region with the brightest spots is in a crater about 55 miles (90 kilometers) across. The spots consist of many individual bright points of differing sizes, with a central cluster. So far, scientists have found no obvious explanation for their observed locations or brightness levels.
"The bright spots in this configuration make Ceres unique from anything we've seen before in the solar system. The science team is working to understand their source. Reflection from ice is the leading candidate in my mind, but the team continues to consider alternate possibilities, such as salt. With closer views from the new orbit and multiple view angles, we soon will be better able to determine the nature of this enigmatic phenomenon," said Chris Russell, principal investigator for the Dawn mission based at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Numerous other features on Ceres intrigue scientists as they contrast this world with others, including protoplanet Vesta, which Dawn visited for 14 months in 2011 and 2012. Craters abound on both bodies, but Ceres appears to have had more activity on its surface, with evidence of flows, landslides and collapsed structures.

Additionally, new images from Dawn's visible and infrared mapping spectrometer (VIR) show a portion of Ceres' cratered northern hemisphere, taken on May 16, including a true-color view and a temperature image. The temperature image is derived from data in the infrared light range. This instrument is also important in determining the nature of the bright spots.

Having arrived in its current orbit on June 3, Dawn will observe the dwarf planet from 2,700 miles (4,400 kilometers) above its surface until June 28. In orbits of about three days each, the spacecraft will conduct intensive observations of Ceres. It will then move toward its next orbit of altitude 900 miles (1,450 kilometers), arriving in early August.
A new animated video of Ceres, based on images taken by Dawn, provides a unique perspective of this heavily cratered, mysterious world.The video is based on observations of Ceres that were taken from Dawn's first mapping orbit, at an altitude of 8,400 miles (13,600 kilometers), as well as the most recent navigational images taken from 3,200 miles (5,100 kilometers). Data from 80 images are combined into the video. Analysis of overlapping images provided three-dimensional detail. The vertical dimension is exaggerated by a factor of two in the video.
On March 6, 2015, Dawn made history as the first mission to visit a dwarf planet, and the first to orbit two distinct extraterrestrial targets. At its previous target, Vesta, Dawn took tens of thousands of images and made many observations about the body's composition and other properties.
Dawn's mission is managed by JPL for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate's Discovery Program, managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. Orbital ATK Inc., in Dulles, Virginia, designed and built the spacecraft. The German Aerospace Center, Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Italian Space Agency and Italian National Astrophysical Institute are international partners on the mission team.

Q: How do I import photos in to the Photos Library completely? I get the following error in Photos app on my Mac.
Missing File
Photos with unavailable original files cannot be opened.
The original photo "IMG_3076.JPG" is either offline or cannot be found. Click "Find Original" to reconnect.

This is what has happened, I assumed that since the photo is in the Photos Library I could delete the file from the hard drive. Apparently not. The answer by @Tetsujin suggests that this is not the case.

I have a backup of all these files and I can restore these.
My question is, How do I import these files into the Photo Library completely, so that there is no longer any need to keep the file as well?

A: Restoring them to their original location is the best plan. Then use File > Consolidate (as suggested by @Tetsujin here) to ensure all items are copied into the library. Your settings (as shown in the screenshot in your other question) are set correctly for Photos to manage the library and the originals to be able to be removed from your hard drive. This time I would just rename the folder they're in and see what happens. That way you can quickly and easily undo it if it still isn't working correctly.
Unless you are referring to the Masters folder (within the .photoslibrary bundle) as the originals. In that case - leave the photoslibrary bundle alone. You cannot remove files from it and expect them to keep working in Photos.

This block is usually available from stock. See more herringbone blocks, more from the Italian Collection, or view our entire offering of parquet patterns.
What is meant by select grade?
This board uses select grade timber, which means that it is not quite as clean as a prime grade, but less busy than a character or rustic grade, Essentially it will include a mix of almost prime boards with others which contain a few more knots. Knots are formed when a branch has died and its base has become enclosed by subsequent layers of trunk wood as the tree grows, so their presence is emphasised by the grain of the wood flowing around it. Filler is used in the larger knots, the colour carefully selected to complement the wood rather than to match it exactly. The colour of the filler may vary.


Of all of my bracelets to date, this one proved to be the biggest challenge. Not because it is particularly complex, but because of the finish of the 6117 models. They originally came with a high gloss, factory-polish which is evident when you find a pristine example. However, most of the models today have been battered around and lost that original polish. So, most models you will see tend to have almost a brushed look. The challenge for me was to decide which kind of finish my 6117 bracelet would have.
I decided to go with the heavy polished look because it matches the original factory polish. However, I think this might look kind of silly on a tattered model. Since it is so "blingy" and reflective, it might look out of place. My solution to this conundrum is to offer a version for both. (Brushed version coming Spring 2019).
If you are familiar with the look and feel of the original Seiko railroad, this is a design similar to that. Just like the original, this bracelet is light and kind of rattly. Don't expect some heavy-duty, thick-linked bracelet, as it would be out of place on the 6117 (and make it imbalanced). Since it is not the most robust bracelet in terms of weight and the cost of materials, I have priced it accordingly.

Unique Ancient History in the National Archaeology Museum of Cagliari
National Archaeological Museum of Cagliari, Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Cagliari, Cagliari, Sardinia
When planning my trip to Cagliari, the first thing I knew I really needed to do was visit the Archaeology Museum. It would have been necessary anyway, but what made it sound particularly interesting was the fact that the museum had objects from an ancient native Sardinian culture. But I was wrong. It wasn't interesting – it was awesome.
National Archaeological Museum of Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy
The museum was actually founded in 1800 when an Archaeology and Natural History collection was assembled in a room of the Viceroy's Palace. It was to be a 'cabinet of curiosities' with a real mix of antiquities, minerals and animals. Two years later, the collection was opened to the public but passed into the hands of the Royal University of Cagliari in 1805.
Over the years the collection grew with donations and through archaeological digs, and it changed homes a number of times over the next century and a half. In 1993 it moved to its current location in the Museum Citadel complex.
Now, the museum was in a peculiar state: there are four floors of exhibition space, but the first and second floors were being redone and therefore there were lots of enigmatic empty cases to walk past. To be frank, the displays were poorly done. However, what they are clearly working towards is the standard of the exhibition on the ground floor, so I'm certain that when they're finished they will be amazing.
As it was, the highlight of the museum was the ground floor. This gives a great overview of the history and archaeology of Sardinia. The idea is that the subsequent floors then look at specific areas. Anyway, as it stands you get to view life from the Early Neolithic period to the early Middle Ages, and see some pretty amazing things…
My absolute favourite objects in the museum, though, were the bronze so-called Nuragic figures. These are the most fascinating remnants of the Nuragic culture which existed on Sardinia from the 1800s BC to at least the time of Roman colonisation of the island in 238BC. Like many of their contemporaries, they left no written records, except for a few epigraphic inscriptions towards the end of their culture.
The culture is named after the most characteristic structure that they left on the Sardinian landscape – the nuraghe, which was a tower-fortress with an inner chamber. They were so widespread that there are still over 7000 of these nuraghes on the island. Ancient Greek authors were puzzled by the structures and the people who built them, and modern historians are no less puzzled. The structures have been speculatively identified as tombs, furnaces – perhaps they had religious or astronomical roles. Modern ideas tend towards the idea of their being defensible homes that could store goods.
The most charming aspect of the culture comes from the Sardinian land. The island is rich in copper and lead, and these ancient Sardinians became skilled in producing alloys and making metal objects which they then exported across the Mediterranean. They were experts in bronze, and along with weapons and household objects they made some adorable – and some pretty amazing – statuettes. Because the dating was pretty unclear for many of these, and indeed the dating of the statuettes is up for scholarly discussion anyway, I'm just dating these as 'Nuragic era'.
Now, for me, this figure below was a masterpiece which deserves to be as well known as any other statuette from the ancient world. From every angle it expressed a different mood, and its striking features took on different aspects according to the way the light hit it. Really, it's such a remarkable piece, I became slightly obsessed with it, so here are three pictures.
The next highlight was the chieftain who, for some reason, was constantly rotating. I liked it from all angles. If Nick Parks had lived in the Nuragic period, I think he would have created this fellow instead of Wallace and Gromit.
Continuing on the first/ground floor, is a neat little exhibition room which is designed to give you an overview of the main periods of Sardinian history from the Nuragic to the Medieval world. There is a certain amount of overlap with some of what was covered in the previous gallery, and there is more overlap from here to upstairs. However, as I said in my opening post, they are doing major renovations, so just go with the flow.
Although my pictures don't do it justice, another great figure was the 'Mother of the Killed Man'. It was like a Pieta, and the more you looked at it, the more moving it became. It's not often you can say that for objects created in this period and again it deserves to be well known.
In around 900 BC, Phoenicians began visiting Sardinia as traders. In the 500s BC the Carthaginians launched campaigns against the coastal cities of the island and eventually conquered the region of Iglesiente, which is still famed for its mines, and areas along the southern coast and plains. When the Carthaginians themselves were defeated by the Romans in 238 BC, Sardinia and Corsica became a Roman province.
There were quite a few statuettes from the Sanctuary of Bes. Excavations in the 1950s revealed that the cult of Bes, an Egyptian god of healing, was popular in Sardinia during the Roman period. They found many terracotta figures gesturing towards the part of the body that they prayed would be healed. Although I have seen this sort of thing before, I haven't seen such moving statuettes – the faces are often contorted in pain and they are rendered with real power.
The Giants of Mont'e Prama are a group of 32/40 statues that were discovered in 1974 near Cabras in Oristano. They depict warriors, archers, wrestlers, models of nuraghe and boxers and may represent mythological heroes, or deities. They have been speculatively dated to between the 11th and 8th centuries BC, which would make them the oldest anthropomorphic sculptures of the Mediterranean after the Egyptian statues. They have fantastic eyes, and the boxer below looks like a cartoon of a man being hypnotised. And he has a cute little smile and nostrils.
There are some more statues from Mont'e Prama upstairs, which will be covered further down…
This part of my post will basically cobble together the objects from the top three floors. The display cases look at specific sites, which could be very interesting. However, the galleries were being re-done when I visited, so it made for quite a depressing journey, past empty cases and with badly labelled objects. Knowing that this feeling of being unloved is temporary makes it easier to accept, but on the other hand it's a shame for me, because I don't know if or when I might return to see it as it should be.
Anyway, the items go backwards and forwards in time, and I've left the order as I saw it. It makes no sense, but neither did the displays, so go with it. They had some remarkable works on display, including a few really great Roman busts.
So now we go back to statues Mont'e Prama. These are large and striking but also sadly often incomplete. It was interesting having a small bronze statuette by the statues to demonstrate the way the representations worked on the larger scale.
Outside the main entrance are a few sarcophagi and if you go round to the right of the entrance, you'll see a little courtyard. There were some interesting things there, but I had only the quickest look because a bunch of bees kept attacking me.
So In Summary
This museum was truly educational for me, and I came away admiring and loving the Nuragic figures. The only problem was the fact that huge swathes of the museum were being done up and presumably rearranged, and it's annoying walking past a run of empty glass display cases. Still, that will soon change. I'm taking it for granted that the whole museum will eventually be like the ground floor, and that will be great, because this island deserves a museum which really shows off its unique and fascinating heritage.
There is a fee to enter the museum, and disappointingly, you can't get a ticket to cover all the museums in the so-called Citadel, but you can get a joint one for here and the Art Gallery.
The museum has a website, with a section in English, but it's sort of limited: www.museoarcheocagliari.beniculturali.it
There was also a good, but small, gift shop with a fine range of books in English on Sardinian history.
The museum is on the Citadel of Museums. It's easy to walk there from the old centre of Cagliari, but it is on a steep hill, so you may need a bus. The transport website for Cagliari is not very user-friendly for the non-Italian speaker. So, here's the city's official transport website: www.ctmcagliari.it – with some English information on Cagliari buses generally. Here is a pdf of the bus map. Now you've worked out what route you want to take, pop over here for a list of the bus numbers, so you can see the schedule of your bus. Yes, it's that simple.

I have been reading "The Seamstress of Sardinia" by Bianca Pitzarno for my book club and was interested in the church paintings in Sardinia; my first google exploration brought up your beautiful blog of the art, ethnography and archeology of Sardinia in the Cagliari museums. Thank you – I feel so privileged to sit at my computer here in Australia and see all these wonderful works.

Katy Perry has been interviewed by some of the world's biggest names in journalism, but her latest sit down might be her most intimidating to date! In anticipation for her upcoming fifth studio album Witness, the singer was quizzed by a very inquisitive seven-year-old fan named Poppy Brown for W Magazine. The two talked about everything from Katy's hula hooping skills to being a home body and even sang a tune together.
Poppy then steered the conversation to Katy's personal life and asked the chart topper what she likes to do when she isn't touring and making music. "I love staying at home. I love watching documentaries. My sister lives right next door to me and she has two little girls. I basically go over there and just hang out and we eat food," Katy explained.
The 32-year-old also revealed that she's got a green thumb. "I do love planting things. At my house I have a really big garden and then I get to eat the vegetables. If you can make a salad from your backyard it's the coolest thing in the world," she told Poppy.
Then it was time to talk music. Poppy admitted she had never heard of the song "Oh Happy Day" – Katy's favourite song from when she was seven-years-old – but she was well versed in the California Girl's extensive catalogue. When she revealed her go-to Perry track is "Firework," Katy asked her new friend to join her in a duet. Poppy happily obliged and the two sang a few lines from the hit single in perfect harmony.

Су́здальский проспект — проспект в Выборгском и Калининском районах Санкт-Петербурга. Проходит вдоль границы города от Выборгского шоссе до улицы Руставели, являясь её продолжением. Получил своё название в память о том, что в прошлом местность в районе нынешних Суздальских озёр населяли выходцы Суздальского уезда. В конце 2015 года было открыто продолжение проспекта в западном направлении — Суздальское шоссе.

История
15 июля 1974 года новая магистраль, проходящая от улицы Руставели до Выборгского шоссе, была названа Суздальским проспектом (до этого в документации фигурировала как Суздальская улица). Фактически, дорога была построена лишь на участке улица Руставели — проспект Культуры, а на участке проспект Культуры — Выборгское шоссе представляла собой техническую дорогу, вскоре пришедшую в негодность. Кроме того, особенность улично-дорожной сети и городской застройки была такова, что последний участок частично дублировался Придорожной аллеей, по которой подъезжать к домам было гораздо удобнее.

В 2008—2010 годах была произведена реконструкция проспекта: его проезжая часть была расширена с двух до шести полос с локальными расширениями для остановок общественного транспорта и поворачивающих налево, а участок проспект Культуры — Выборгское шоссе фактически построен заново, для разделения встречных потоков был обустроен физический бордюр, на перекрёстках оборудованы светофорные посты.

В 2011—2012 годах был реконструирован участок от Гражданского проспекта до улицы Руставели и улица Руставели от Суздальского проспекта до Токсовской улицы. Данный участок был расширен с двух до пяти полос.

Транспорт
На участке от Гражданского проспекта до проспекта Культуры существует линия троллейбусного сообщения. На участке от Гражданского проспекта до конечной станции у Светлановского проспекта ходят троллейбусы № 6 и № 38. Остальная часть линии по проспекту в маршрутном движении не используется.

На участке от Выборгского шоссе до улицы Жени Егоровой организовано трамвайное движение. По этой линии курсирует маршрут № 58. Рядом с проспектом расположено 4 трамвайных конечных станции (у Светлановского проспекта, проспекта Культуры, проспекта Энгельса и улицы Жени Егоровой).

Также по проспекту проходит ряд автобусных маршрутов. У пересечения с проспектом Культуры располагается автобусное кольцо.

Uber Just Bought An AI Startup To Make Its Self-Driving Cars Smarter
The ride-hail giant is opening up an AI Lab.
Posted on December 5, 2016, at 1:17 p.m. ET
Afp / AFP / Getty Images
An Uber car outfitted with self-driving technology in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Uber is doubling down on self-driving cars. The company said Monday that it has acquired an artificial intelligence startup called Geometric Intelligence and tapped the company's founders as co-directors of its new in-house AI research lab. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Dubbed Uber AI Labs, Uber's new artificial intelligence research arm is intended to explore AI applications beyond self-driving car efforts, the company said in a blog post announcing the acquisition. Machine learning could improve routing algorithms, or the process of matching up riders for UberPool.
Geometric Intelligence's approach to artificial intelligence is unique in that it focuses on developing AI that "learns" by extrapolating from a palette of rules, rather than crunching vast piles of data. Uber told The New York Times it found this "evolutionary" method of developing AI particularly compelling because it aims to mimic how the human mind learns.
Most members of the 15-person team, who are scattered at universities around the US, will move to San Francisco, where Uber is based, to form the AI unit's "initial core."
In September, Uber began a pilot program that allows passengers in Pittsburgh to hail self-driving cars, which carry both a safety driver (ready to take the wheel during emergencies) and a co-pilot (to monitor the car and its route on a laptop). The company entered the self-driving car race later than some other tech companies and automakers, but got a jumpstart by poaching about 40 researchers from Carnegie Mellon University's robotics unit.
Speaking at Vanity Fair's New Establishment Summit this past October, Uber CEO Travis Kalanick said the ridehail juggernaut is at the "very beginning stages of becoming a robotics company." The acquisition of Geometric Intelligence, a 15-person artificial intelligence startup founded by three academics, nearly two years after the company opened up its Advanced Technologies Center in Pittsburgh, shows how that evolution has progressed.
Silicon Valley companies have recently been competing to hire AI researchers. Apple, for example, has in the past year acquired three AI companies, and brought on a director of artificial intelligence in October. Uber is now joining the recruitment rush.
