Unmanned Underwater Vehicles Market Analysis, Segmentation, Growth, Future Trends, Gross Margin, Demands Regional Forecast to 2027
The global unmanned underwater vehicle market size is expected to reach USD 7,830.8 million by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 14.91% during the forecast period. The increasing application of UUVs in underwater search and survey, communication, navigation, and maritime surveillance will propel the healthy growth of the market, states Fortune Business Insights, in a report, titled "Unmanned Underwater Vehicles Market Size, Share and Global Trend by Type (Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV), and Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV)) By Application (Commercial Exploration, Scientific Research, Defense, and Miscellaneous) By Product Type (Small Vehicle, High-Capacity Electric Vehicle, Work-Class Vehicle, and Heavy Work-Class Vehicle), By Propulsion System (Electric System, Mechanical System, and Hybrid System) By Payload (Camera, Sensors, Inertial Navigation System, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2020-2027." The market size stood at USD 3,265.5 million in 2019.
The catastrophe caused by coronavirus has disrupted the supply chain of every industry around the world. We understand that this health emergency has negatively impacted various sectors across the globe. Rising support from governments and several companies can help in the fight against this highly infectious virus. Some industries are struggling, and some are thriving. More or less, nearly every sector is estimated to be impacted by this pandemic.
We are making endless efforts to uplift businesses in this crucial need of the hour. Our expertise and experience can offer enormous benefits to help regain during this global pandemic.
Market Driver:
Surging Deep Water Oil and Gas Production to Facilitate Growth
The increasing gas and oil production and exploration activities will have a tremendous impact on the global market. For instance, in 2019, the Gulf of Mexico observed new oil discoveries by key companies such as Shell, Chevron, Repsol, and Equinor. Shell has been successful in deep-water well-exploration projects. The new exploration project is expected to produce more than 900,000 barrels of oil by 2020. The increasing energy demand will subsequently accelerate deep-sea exploration, which, in turn, will aid expansion of the market. The oil and gas industry is expected to account for the lion's share in the world's primary energy supply by 2050. The increasing utilization of UUVs in the oil and gas industry can have an outstanding effect on the market in the forthcoming years. Moreover, the increasing commercial applications such as seafloor mapping or seabed imaging and pipeline disruption study in the sea environment will foster healthy growth of the market.
Disrupted Oil Industry to Dampen Business Amid Coronavirus
COVID-19 had a severe impact on the industries due to the spread of the disease to almost 200+ countries worldwide. Moreover, the global oil industry experienced a sudden drop in demand across various countries. The oil demand is projected to fall 9.3 mb/d year-on-year basis in 2020 and 2021. According to UNCTAD, global maritime transport plunged by 4.1% in 2020 due to unexpected disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The disorder has mainly hampered the supply chain, shipping network, trade volumes, and port. However, the global Shipping industryis making efforts for sustainable recovery and smooth operations, which, in turn, will aid the market.
Increasing Investments in the Defense Sector to Augment Growth in Asia Pacific
North America is expected to hold the largest share during the forecast period. The United States is the largest producer, operator, and exporter of UUVs globally. The increasing use of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) in commercial and defense sectors will promote the expansion of North America's market. The growing use of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) for carrying deep-water surveys in oil and gas production can contribute positively to the market growth in the region. Asia Pacific is expected to experience a significant growth rate during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to the increasing investments in the defense sector from several countries such as India, China, Japan, South Korea, and others.
Key Development:
June 2020: Seamec Limited announced that it has signed a three-year contract with Fugro for inspection, repair, and maintenance (IRM) of subsea pipeline on India's west coast. Fugro is expected to offer work class ROV services to Seamec during the contract duration.

Sekharudu, Y.Chandra and Rao, VSR (1985) Theoretical-Studies on the Modes of Binding of Some of the Beta-Glycosidically Linked Glucobioses to Concanavalin-A. In: International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 7 (6). pp. 349-356.
The probable modes of binding for methyl-α-d-sophoroside, methyl-β-d-sophoroside, laminariboise and cellobiose to concanavalin A have been determined using theoretical methods. Methyl-d-sophorosides can bind to concanavalin A in two modes, i.e. by placing their reducing as well as non-reducing sugar units in the carbohydrate specific binding site, whereas laminaribiose and cellobiose can reach the binding site only with their non-reducing glucose units. However, the probability for methyl-α-d-sophoroside to bind to concanavalin A with its reducing sugar residue as the occupant of the binding site is much higher than it is with its non-reducing sugar residue as the occupant of the sugar binding site. A few of the probable conformers of methyl-β-d-sophoroside can bind to concanavalin A with either the reducing or non-reducing glucose unit. Higher energy conformers of cellobiose or laminaribiose can reach the binding site with their non-reducing residues alone. The relative differences in the binding affinities of these disaccharides are mainly due to the differences in the availability of proper conformers which can reach the binding site and to non-covalent interactions between the sugar and the protein. This study also suggests that though the sugar binding site of concanavalin A accommodates a single sugar residue, the residue outwards from the binding site also interacts with concanavalin A, indicating the existence of extended concanavalin A carbohydrate interactions.

Applications of Linked List Data Structure
Aman Sharma October 8, 2021 December 2, 2022
In the below article, we will learn about the applications of linked list in data structures. A linked list is a linear data structure. In a linked list, the elements are linked using pointers. let's understand the applications of linked list in data structures.
A Linked list is a linear data structure. Unlike arrays, the elements are not stored at contiguous locations. The linked list nodes are linked using pointers. Each node consists of 2 parts:
Data: The Data which is stored at a particular address.
Reference: Contains the address of the next node of the linked list.
Applications of Linked List:
Dynamic Memory Allocation: As we know, we can dynamically allocate memory in a linked list, so it can be very helpful when we don't know the number of elements we are going to use.
Implementing advanced data structures: We can implement data structures like stacks and queues with the help of a linked list.
Manipulating polynomials: We can do polynomials manipulation with the help of a linked list by storing the constants in the nodes of the linked list.
Arithmetic operations on long integers: As integers have a limit, we cannot perform arithmetic operations on long integers. But, if we use a linked list to represent the long integers, we can easily perform the operations.
Graph Adjacency list Representation: Linked List helps in storing the adjacent vertices of a graph in adjacency list representation.
Applications of Linked List in real world
In web browsers, you might have seen that we can always access the previous and next URL using the back and forward button. Access to previous and next URL searched is possible because they are linked using a linked list.
The songs in the Music Player are linked to the next and the previous song. We can play songs either from the starting or the end of the list.
In an Image Viewer, the next and the previous images are linked; hence they can be accessed by the previous and the next button.
Circular linked lists also have good usage. A circular linked list is a linked list in which the last node points to the head instead of pointing to NULL.
Applications of Circular Linked Lists
We can use Circular Linked List to implement advanced data structures like Fibonacci Heap.
Circular lists are helpful in applications when you want to go around the list several times.
When many programs are running on a PC, it is typical for the operating system to place them all on a list and then cycle over them, giving each one a chunk of time to execute before having them wait while the CPU is given to another.
It is more convenient for the operating system to utilize a circular list so that it may cycle back to the beginning when it reaches the end of the list.
Circular Linked List can be used to implement a queue. We do not need to maintain the head and rear pointer if we use a circular linked list. We can store a pointer to the last node of the list, and the head can always be obtained as the next of the list.
Let's also see some advantages of linked list over arrays:
Dynamic Data Structure: Linked List being a dynamic data structure, can shrink and grow at the runtime by deallocating or allocating memory, so there is no need for an initial size in the linked list. Whereas in an array, an initial size has to be declared, and the number of elements cannot exceed that size.
No Memory Wastage: As the size of a linked list can grow or shrink at runtime, there is no memory wastage. Only the required memory is allocated. In arrays, we have to first initialize it with a size that we may or may not fully use; hence wastage of memory may occur.
Implementation: Some very helpful data structures like queues and stacks can easily be implemented using a Linked List.
Insertion and Deletion Operation: In a Linked List, insertion and deletion operations are quite easy, as there is no need to shift every element after insertion or deletion.
Only the address present in the pointers needs to be updated.
While, in an array, we have to shift elements. Suppose an array is sorted, and we have to insert an element in it in a sorted way. Let arr[]= [ 1, 3 , 5, 7, ….. ] and we have to insert 2. So, all the elements after 1 have to move by one place towards the right.

Merge sort linked list Delete a node from linked list at a given position
Remove duplicates from unsorted linked list Reverse a linked list in Python
What are the applications of linked list in data structures?
Applications of linked list in data structures are:
Linked list is used in implementation of graphs.
Linked list is used in implementation of stacks and queues.
Linked list for maintaining the directory.
What are the applications of data structures?
Data structures are used in file management, directory management, for maintaining the processes in operating system, used in memory allocations, and many more.
What are the advantages of linked list data structures?
Advantages of linked list data structures are as follows:
Linked list is a dynamic data structure.
As the size of the linked list can grow or shrink at runtime, so there is no memory wastage.

What have we learned, or failed to learn, about the Internet's real importance? And what might this suggest about the true cost of the Internet bubble, not just in economic terms but in social and even political terms? That is, what was the "opportunity cost," so to speak, of lavishing so much money, energy, and media attention on the Net economy? Now that the dust has settled, can we see any more clearly the Internet's real value?
National correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly and a former columnist for The Industry Standard, he has written extensively about technology, economics, and politics for more than two decades.
I'm not sure there were many lastingly harmful "opportunity costs" of the bubble mentality. Yes, yes, yes: I recognize that all kinds of harm did occur. There were innocent financial errors. There was malicious financial misrepresentation. There was even a significant opportunity cost to the "real" economy. I've recently published a book, Free Flight: From Airline Hell to a New Age of Travel, which is in large measure a story of that opportunity cost. Some real inventors, who came up with a real, tangible, high-technology, manufactured product -- namely, a safe, fast, small jet that cost roughly one-tenth as much as existing corporate jets, and therefore could be used by a much broader traveling audience -- nearly went crazy trying to raise capital in the late 1990s, because the herd instinct was leading venture capitalists to "interesting" Net startup ideas.
Still, I think the opposite over-reaction, after the 2000 Nasdaq crash, against the Internet and anything associated with it, could be almost as harmful. Eventually people are bound to do more and more of their purchasing online. It would be insane for them not to -- it just allows you to do things more quickly and with more information. Eventually more and more news and "content" will be distributed that way. In the late 1990s we saw some basically crazy ideas propped up by herdlike funders. After the crash some basically sound ideas were torpedoed by the same herd reaction. After all, something like WebVan will eventually make money, as will something like the late, lamented wireless internet system, Ricochet. The volatility that drove the market up three years ago drove it back down starting early in 2001. This, I suppose, is capitalism in action -- "animal spirits" and all. And of course the dramatic change in political, military, and economic circumstances since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks makes it even harder to know how and when the technology puzzle will sort itself out.
He is the Stanley B. Resor Professor of Economics at Yale University and the author of Irrational Exuberance (2000).
The Internet is a very important invention that will have important consequences. But the extent of the consequences is very hard to quantify. The quantitative importance of the Internet will never be fully known, even after another century has gone by.
By analogy, what was the real importance of the invention of the railroad for the 19th-century economy? There was a famous debate on that topic between Prof. Robert Fogel of the University of Chicago and Prof. Albert Fishlow of UC Berkeley in the 1960s. They tried to figure out what the relative costs of other modes of transportation were, what canals would have been built if there had been no railroads, and so on. Fogel concluded that the railroad raised gross national product by less than 5 percent total over the century, while Fishlow thought it raised GNP by more than 15 percent. No one has ever resolved the discrepancy between their two numbers. The repercussions of any such major technological advance are so manifold, and we can never know what alternative technology would have invented around the problems that the railroad solved.
The same will be true of the Internet. The repercussions of the Internet will be complex, involving whole new lines of business, even businesses that have no obvious connection to the Internet. When the information infrastructure changes, all manner of new businesses become feasible and many old businesses will fail.
Co-founder and editor-in-chief of the online magazine FEED (feedmag.com), he is the author of two critically acclaimed books on technology and society: Interface Culture (1997) and Emergence (2001).
I'm actually not sure that the costs of the bubble were all that great, even though I think it triggered, or facilitated, a lot of ludicrous behavior, and a lot of posturing. There weren't a lot of good ideas that got trampled in the exodus, as far as I can see. ... The good ideas -- the eBays and the Amazons and the Yahoos -- are doing quite well, by any sane measure. Some individual investors lost some money speculating, but how much can you grieve for an investment community that consults -- and contributes to -- a semi-sacred oracle that calls itself the Motley Fool? And a lot of 25-year-olds found out that it actually wasn't all that easy to make a million dollars.
What the bubble did do, though, is popularize the medium at an unprecedented pace, and explore the possibility space of interesting Net-based models with incredible precision. My 89-year-old grandmother one-click shops on Amazon via her cable modem. Would she even be using email now if it weren't for the bubble? I doubt it. So in a way you can see the last five years as a giant public-awareness campaign about the virtues of the Web, financed mostly by the venture capitalists. Kurt Andersen described it best in a piece he wrote about a year ago: almost nobody made money in the gold rush, but the gold rush made California. That's where I think we're living now, at the very beginning of a kind of new-economy "California," with the forlorn prospectors coming down from the hills, looking for better and more sustainable things to do. Not such a bad place to be.
Chief economist at BusinessWeek, he is the author of The Internet Depression: The Boom, the Bust, and Beyond (2001).
With any new technology, there's a process of experimenting, of trying to understand where it is useful and where it isn't, and figuring out how to apply it. It's often very hard to predict what the ultimate applications of a new technology will be.
Part of the genius of the American New Economy -- and one of our great advantages over Europe and Asia -- is that it permits an accelerated rate of experimentation with a new technology like the Internet. The availability of capital meant that we could try a lot of different approaches at once, to see which ones worked.
Here's what we found out. First, the Internet has only an incremental benefit as a channel for retailing. Ultimately, retailing is mostly about producing and moving around goods as efficiently as possible, and the Internet doesn't bring all that much to the party. Thus, the great dotcom experiment -- moving all manners of retailing onto the Web -- turned out to be mostly a failure.
But we also learned that one of the biggest virtues of the Internet is that it revolutionizes the transmission and manipulation of information. We have not fully exploited this yet, but I think that over the next ten years, the Internet will transform those industries which are primarily about moving bits and bytes around. That includes media, financial services, and a large portion of health care.
Editor of The Baffler magazine and a contributing editor of Harper's, he is the author of One Market Under God: Extreme Capitalism, Market Populism, and the End of Economic Democracy (2000).
I don't know what the Internet's real importance will eventually turn out to be. I myself use it to hunt for World War I memorabilia. I do know that it's not the libertarian deity that it was presented as being; it's not some sort of angry free-market god with zero tolerance for government regulation or labor unions. Ironically, there is probably no better proof of the idiocy of markets than the dotcom stock frenzy, in which investors poured such huge sums on such tenuous enterprises. Far from being omniscient, markets can be very unfair and very foolish.
But have we learned this lesson? Have we changed our ways? Are we ready to secure economic democracy by turning to institutions other than unregulated markets? No. At least, not if you read our newspapers and watch our TV commentary. On Labor Day, two of the three newspapers I read regularly featured op-ed columns that actually used that occasion to dismiss the labor movement as irrelevant, unpopular, and in terminal decline. Our president has actually managed to repeal the inheritance tax, one of the fundamental pillars of progressive taxation. We have a government commission willing to distort any set of figures to discredit Social Security. George Gilder still appears on TV talk shows as a distinguished authority figure. Certain Ford dealers still give customers gratis copies of The Millionaire Next Door, and certain CEOs buy thousands of copies of Who Moved My Cheese? to cram down their employees' throats. The authors of Dow 36,000 are routinely quoted in the papers as experts on matters economic. When reporters are assigned to cover a strike or a lockout, they still quote Wall Street analysts as experts on the subject. And we have an entire cottage industry trying to pin the blame for the recent stock market disaster on anything and anyone except for the obvious culprits.
If there is one place where markets have failed us consistently and disastrously, it's the marketplace of ideas.

Top 10 Foreign Language Films Snubbed By The Oscars
By : Mark Fraser
Tag: academy awards, aguirre wrath of god, Akira Kurosawa, andrei rublev, foreign language, oscars
Although the Academy Awards has recognised the efforts of international movie makers via its Best Foreign Language Film (BFLF) category since 1947, it has also been guilty of failing to acknowledge some of the best non-Hollywood cinema on offer. Mark Fraser looks at 10 instances when Oscar shunned some mighty talent.
10. Yol AKA The Way (Yilmaz Guney, Serif Goren, 1982)
WINNER: Jose Luis Garci's Volver e empezar AKA To Begin Again (Spain)
What begins as a seemingly low key story about five Turkish prisoners who are given a weekend pass ends up being – amongst other things – one of the greatest cinematic statements about forgiveness ever made. An emotionally exhausting and moving work which was unsuccessfully submitted as the Swiss entry for best foreign film at the 55th Academy Awards (writer/co-director Yilmaz Guney, who was incarcerated during the shoot, escaped from a Turkey gaol and fled to Switzerland with the negatives, after which the movie was edited in Paris). Although the academy wasn't interested, Yol received both the Palme d'Or and the International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI) Prize at 1982's Cannes Film Festival.
9. Lancelot du Lac AKA Lancelot of the Lake (Robert Bresson, 1974)
WINNER: Federico Fellini's Amarcord (Italy)
Possibly one of the most offbeat and unglamorous accounts of the Camelot legend ever as King Arthur (Vladimir Antolek-Oresek) – after realising the quest for the Holy Grail was nothing more than a tragic waste of time – watches as the remaining Knights of the Round Table slip into some kind of torpor while his wife, Queen Guinevere (Laura Duke Condominas), has an affair with second-in-command Sir Lancelot (Luc Simon). Eventually, to break the boredom, Arthur leads his men into battle against his bastard son Mordred (Patrick Bernhard), during which all of them are violently slain. While it's difficult to tell if cinema's king of austerity, Frenchman Robert Bresson, played this for laughs, it's undeniably a hilarious film. Certainly the Monty Python boys must have thought so, infusing some of it (especially the blood-gushing sword wounds and the grimy set design) into their own remarkable Monty Python and the Holy Grail, which was made a year later. Lancelot du Lac also picked up the 1974's FIPRESCI Prize at Cannes.
8. Week-end AKA Weekend (Jean-Luc Godard, 1967)
WINNER: Jiri Menzel's Ostre sledovane vlaky AKA Closely Watched Trains (Czechoslovakia)
Whatever one might think of the Paris-born Jean-Luc Godard, he has undeniably revolutionised the language of cinema. Oscar, however, hasn't been particularly kind to the man, failing to recognise him until 2010, when he was finally given an Academy Honorary Award. Fittingly, he snubbed the judges by refusing to show up for the Los Angeles ceremony. Week-end is, for all intents and purposes, the culmination of Godard's first phase of filmmaking – an extremely fertile period which saw the production of some 15 features (and a handful of shorts and documentaries) starting with the ground-breaking Breathless back in 1959. While much has been written about the visual richness of this movie, it should be remembered that another of its crowning achievements is its ambitious and still-relevant apocalyptic vision, being based on a story which is nothing less than: "A tale showing the deconstruction of Western civilisation. Instead of watching as usual the build-up from barbarism to military democracy to democracy we watch it go the other direction, regress from democracy to barbary" (John Kreidel, Jean-Luc Godard, Twayne Publishing, 1980, p 169).
7. Nanking! Nanking! AKA City of Life and Death (Lu Chuan, 2009)
WINNER: Juan Jose Campanella's El secreto dr sus ojos AKA The Secret in Their Eyes (Argentina)
Shot in stunning black and white (by Cao Yu and He Lei) and boasting an opening battle sequence that is comparable to the finale of Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan (1998), this film chronicles the invasion of the Chinese city of Nanking by the Japanese in 1937 and its brutal aftermath, during which the prisoners of war were slaughtered and a safety zone was set up for displaced civilians (and the injured) by German businessman John Rabe (John Paisley). The fact it was released so soon after the 2009 Oscar ceremony may have helped rule it out for the following year's competition, but this is no excuse given it's easily one of the most harrowing and beautifully executed war movies ever made.
6. Le salaire de la peur AKA The Wages Of Fear (Henri-Georges Clouzot, 1953)
WINNER: Nothing
Aside from the fact only one film was nominated annually for BFLF between 1947 and 1955 – suggesting this French masterpiece may have been overlooked by the academy anyway given it's quota of anti-US sentiment – no 1953 foreign films were awarded an Oscar. Le salaire de la peur was, however, liked at Cannes, receiving the year's Palme d'Or. It also won the Berlin Film Festival's 1953 Golden Bear.
5. Shichinin no Samurai AKA Seven Samurai (Akira Kurosawa, 1954)
WINNER: Federico Fellini's La Strada AKA The Road (Italy)
There's no conceivable reason why this seminal Japanese movie wasn't nominated for BFLF in 1956 given it received Oscar recognition in two other categories – Best Art Direction-Set Decoration and Best Costume Design in a black and white movie (So Matsuyama and Kohei Ezaki respectively). Another tut-tut moment for the academy, particularly as Seven Samurai is now regarded in many circles as one of the most important pieces of cinema of all time. Fortunately, director Akira Kurosawa was given the Silver Lion Award at the 1954 Venice Film Festival for his efforts. The movie was also nominated for Best Film by the British Academy of Film and Television in 1956.
4. C'est arrivé près de chez vous AKA It Happened in Your Neighbourhood AKA Man Bites Dog (Rémy Belvaux, André Bonzel and Benoît Poelvoorde, 1992)
WINNER: Regis Wargnier's Indochine (France)
The term "black comedy" only begins to describe this brilliantly-executed Belgian mockumentary about a ruthless serial killer who uses the cash he steals from his victims to fund the movie's ongoing production. An exceptional film on all levels – from the charismatic performance of Benoit Poelvoorde as the witty and highly intelligent murderer to Andre Bonzel's superb black and white camerawork, which is as good as anything seen in similar verite-driven productions. Fittingly, this trio was given the Special Award of the Youth and the SACD (Author's Society) gong for best feature at Cannes in 1992.
3. Europa AKA Zentropa (Lars von Trier, 1991)
WINNER: Gabriele Salvatores' Mediterraneo (Italy)
A beautifully hypnotic and visually outstanding work which should never have been ignored by the academy.
2. Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes AKA Aguirre, the Wrath of God (Werner Herzog, 1972)
WINNER: Luis Bunuel's Le Charme discret de la bourgeoisie AKA The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie (France)
What else is there to say except it's simply amazing – mind boggling in fact – that this truly incredible piece of cinema wasn't nominated for BFLF.
1. The Passion According to Andrei AKA Andrei Rublev (Andrei Tarkovsky, 1966)
WINNER: Claude Lelouch's Unhomme et une femme AKA A Man and a Woman (France)
It is difficult to blame Oscar for overlooking Andrei Tarkovsky's second feature given its distribution was handled in a confusing way by the Soviet authorities. While it was first shown domestically towards the end of 1966, it wasn't screened at Cannes until 1969 (where it received the FIPRESCI Prize). A wider release came in 1971, although it didn't reach many foreign markets (including the US) until 1973. Adding to the confusion is the fact it has, over the years, appeared in a number of different cuts. Putting this history aside, there's no denying Andrei Rublev is one of cinema's crowning achievements.

Have only seen two so I've got some great pieces of cinema to see. The two I have seen – Aguirre and Seven Samurai – are classics, not going to argue against them triumphing at the Oscars. Having read the list the film I'm now eager to see is Nanking Nanking.
ArchE February 27, 2017 at 11:12 pm Reply
Nanking Nanking or Nanjing Nanjing as it was billed when I caught it showing at a pretentious inner city art house is an emotional punch to the lower regions that will leave you sitting on frozen peas for a week. Once the swelling goes down you'll consider watching it again. It's a classic no one outside of Asia has heard of. At least I thought that was the case until I read Mark's marvellous piece. Now three people have seen it – myself, Mark and the homeless lady who joined me at the art house cinema and who, after 10mins of the film, decided to use row E as a place to kip for two hours.

Man Bites Dog versus Indochine is the one I'd hesitantly dispute even though Man Bites Dog is genius. Indochine is more Oscar-friendly but its emotional heft is one that leaves a better taste, one that's easier to digest, and reliably put-on-able. Man Bites Dog is a tour de force, one that requires a certain frame of mind. Does that make it a more striking piece of cinema? Probably. But I still love Indochine.
Callum February 28, 2017 at 4:41 pm Reply
Lots for me to see. I have seen Man Bites Dog which I thought was tough going. I may need to revisit it. Aguirre has been on my radar for ages but still not got around to seeing it. Never heard of Europa/Zentropa, Nanking, or Yol/The Way.

Aguirre is definitely the better film, but at least it lost to another great one.

Why we are now vegetarian - Start with something. Begin your impact.
It's healthier: We watched Forks Over Knives. Their research led them to conclude that degenerative diseases like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and even several forms of cancer, could almost always be prevented—and in many cases reversed, by adopting a whole-foods, plant-based diet.
You have more control over what you are eating: You often don't know what the animal you are eating, has been eating. So, why would you, in your sane mind, eat it?
It can reverse climate change: The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has concluded that "the livestock sector emerges as one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global." According to the Racing Extinction website: Animal agriculture alone is responsible for 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide and methane). This is more than the emissions from every single car, train, and plane on the planet combined.
It's a really easy way to contribute to helping the planet.

This is a very simple version of Rummy I learnt as a child. It is a good version of Rummy to teach to beginners before moving on to more completed versions.
To start a game deal each player 7 cards.
Any remaining cards should be placed in the middle as a stack. The first card in the pile should be turned face up.
The object of the game is to be the first player to declare "Rummy".
To declare Rummy you need to match your cards so you have one set of 3 and one set of 4.
A set can be 3 or 4 of a kind, or a run of 3 or 4 cards in the same suit. These sets of cards are called melds. Aces are low.
The person to the left of the dealer starts. They can either pick up the card face up, or take the next card from the top of the pile.
Then they must discard one card. If you have picked the face up card, you must put down a different card.
Until someone declares "Rummy" and wins. If you reach the end of the pack of cards in the middle before this happens simply turn over the pack and keep going. Simple!
A winning hand of 4 of a kind and a run of diamonds.
Rather than keeping all cards in your hand, players put sets of 3 or 4 cards down in the centre of the table. Other players can then add to the face up cards to make longer runs, or 4 of a kind. The winner is the first person to run out of all their cards.
Play as standard Rummy, but with several rounds. At the end of each round each player with cards in their hands gets points for them. Numbered cards are worth their face value, and Jack, Queens and Kings are worth 10 points each. Jot the number of points scored in each round for each player, and add them up.
Rummy 500 is similar, but slightly different. Play in the same way as Standard Rummy making sets of 3s and 4s on the table. When one player runs out of cards in his hands the round ends.
Each player receives points for the sets of cards they have laid on the table. If a player has laid a set of 3 or 4 and it has been added to by another player, the player who laid the initial set of 3 or 4 still receives the points. Numbered cards are worth their face value, and the Jacks, Queens and Kings are worth 10 points.
Each player then loses points for any cards they still had in their hand.
For example lets say the round finishes and I have laid down 4 Jacks, and a run of 2,3,4 of Hearts, and somebody had added a 5 of Hearts to it. I would get 24 points for those. But I still have a Queen of Hearts and a 2 of Clubs in my hand so I subtract 12 points, scoring a total of 12 for the round.
The ultimate winner is the first person to score over 500 points.
What versions of Rummy have you played?
There are many more potential ways to vary Rummy. For example you could shake up the rules above with some of these. You will find some work better than others!
Don't turn over the pack of cards in the middle if it runs out before someone declares Rummy, stop the game and score the hands of all players.
Can you trade out the first card turned face up from the draw pile if you want it in Rummy?
Yes, if it is your turn.

Q: Subquery issue, Returns SQL error when "AS" and "AND" are used This is what im trying to run in full:
$data = $this->db->select('main.UID, main.value')
                 ->select('twitch_streams.UID AS twt')
                 ->select('(SELECT value FROM user_profile WHERE UID = main.UID AND key = "twitch" AND subkey = "update" LIMIT 1) AS check', null, FALSE)
                 ->from('user_profile AS main')
                 ->join('twitch_streams', 'twitch_streams.UID = main.UID', 'left')
                 ->where('key', 'account')
                 ->where('subkey', "TWT")
                 ->get();

With this it returns:
Error Number: 1064

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'key = "twitch" AND subkey = "update" LIMIT 1) AS check FROM (`user_profile` AS m' at line 1

But if I shorten the SELECT to ->select('(SELECT value FROM user_profile WHERE UID = main.UID LIMIT 1)', null, FALSE) it doesn't return an error but it returns the wrong value as the key: [(SELECT value FROM user_profile WHERE UID = main.UID LIMIT 1)] => 1405874916 )

A: Key is a reserved word in mysql,wrap it with back ticks.Check is also a reserved word....
Look here and avoid them

This couple proved love truly can stand the test of time – and distance.
High school sweethearts Barbara Cotton and Curtis Brewer, in their 70s, tied the knot in Milwaukee, Wis., after having lost contact with each other for more than 50 years. During that time, the pair lived in different states and embarked on "separate life journeys," a GoFundMe page reads.
However, their happily ever after was coming.
On July 15, 2018 – 57 years later – the couple got engaged after rekindling their long lost romance.
"He had always loved me and I loved him," Cotton said to Fox 6.
"We were high school sweethearts and I went to his junior prom and senior prom," she continued.
Though the couple "never stopped loving each other" – and technically "never broke up" – circumstances separated them.
Cotton's mom died, leaving her to take care of her five brothers and Brewer went off to college.
Decades passed before the pair reunited.
"She saw me on classmates.com. I answered her back, I answered her real quick," said Brewer to Fox6.
The two began dating quickly after.
"No one really loved me as much as Curtis loved me. It was such an unconditional loving relationship and no one was ever able to match that," Cotton said.
And after a few years, Brewer got up the courage to propose.
"I called her on the phone and said, 'Would you?' That's all I got out, she said yes, would you marry me — I couldn't get 'marry' out," Brewer said to Fox6.
"57 years from their Prom Night, God found a way to bring them together," the page stated.
The couple is planning on traveling across the country in an RV as they begin their new lives together.
"We know that God is in charge. No one could have planned this. We know this was meant to be," said Cotton.

Some people over here were kind of not feeling great this week, but THANKFULLY, it's passed. Our goal this week has been for everyone to feel fantastic for the school's family Valentine's Dance tonight, and we made it! #allthepraisehands So, I'm a bit off this Friday (this has been such a weird week!), but I still have a few faves. As always, I'm linking up with my girls Erika, Narci and Andrea.
I went through your comments on my Trader Joe's post and wrote down TWO PAGES of things to buy on my next trip!!
To make your own list (and see all of the amazing comments) click HERE.
…eeeeeks! My parents gave this to the girls and they LOVE IT!!
The story is actually quite lengthy, so Madeley and I read a little bit every day before her nap…and then when we're done, we start over the next day. You get to customize the people, so as you can see, these girls look like my girls!
…just the sweetest!! Lovie and Papa Jay did GREAT with this gift!! I got the website info on the back of the book. You can order your copy HERE.
…the first one is Mothers in Waiting and I was really honored when author Crystal Bowman and her daughter-in-law Meghann asked if I would contribute my story. Yesterday, I mentioned on my blog how I miscarried our first baby (after our first IUI and months and months of fertility drugs), and then went on to walk a crazy road to motherhood that looked NOTHING like I thought it would. This book is an encouraging and uplifting book that I'm sure, will bless many as they wait to become moms.
…my friend Annie Downs turned her best-selling Looking for Lovely into a book and Bible study for young girls! If you don't know Annie, you're missing out! She is AMAZING and her ministry blesses me with each and every book she's written. If you have a teen or pre-teen girl, I bet she would love these new books!
…tis that time of year! If you want some yummy and simple Valentine's Day dessert recipes, click HERE.
See all of my festive treats HERE.
That Valentine's Cocoa is making a debut at our on Thursday for sure–so fun!
I'm going to need you to head to Trader Joe's to buy all the things, and then give me a condensed list of all of your favorites!!!! Please and thank you.
Those valentine's treats look absolutely delicious! Yum!
Personalized books for kids are such a fun idea! I bought my goddaughter one for her birthday one year and she loved it! Prayers for a healthy house so you guys can rock the Valentine's Day dance! I gotta make one of those treats this weekend, they all look delicious!
Love that personalized book about your little girls! Your parents did great! Happy weekend!
Prayers for a healthy happy weekend!
Some things I forgot to add to the Trader Joe's comments, but you've got to try if you can: frozen strawberry mochi (made with coconut milk but tastes like the best, fresh strawberry ice cream) and frozen chocolate covered banana slices. The frozen mango mochi is yummy too if you like mango sorbet. Oh my goodness and the spatchcocked chicken in the prepared meats section!
I love Annie Downs! I'll have to grab that study next! Hope you guys get some good rest this weekend!
Hope you find some time today to pick up all the goods at Trader Joe's! Love that place. Enjoy your weekend!
We're having a girls weekend, so I'm checking out these Valentine treats!
We are starting our journey into foster care and I have been wondering what to give each child WHEN (praying for when, not if!) they are reunified with their family…the personalized book would be such a sweet touch. Saving this post for later on-thanks for sharing!
Does your travel agency currently plan Hawaii vacations?
Check out Lanai. Plenty of nice VRBO options. I've been five times and saw that Shay went years ago.
I ordered A Life of Lovely two weeks ago from Amazon and I finished it in 5 days!! It is soooo good!!
I am new to your blog and have been catching up on your story. I would be interested to know if you were diagnosed with infertility? I'm an older mom and my bio kids are very dar apart in age. I never used fertility treatment or even considered that I needed it. Now I wonder wonder, but since I successfully had other kids, I would guess not. I never used birth control and my oldest and middle are 5.5 years apart and my youngest is 7. 5 years younger than middle.
They had some theories to why we couldn't conceive (even with drugs and medical procedures), but not one concrete thing. That made me a little crazy because I kept thinking "if we could just single out the problem, we could fix it", but they couldn't ever narrow it to one particular problem.
I just got your Eats cookbook for my bridal shower last weekend! EEEK! I can't wait to bust into it this weekend! <3 Your Valentines desserts are so cute! Happy Friday, Shay!
That's my cute family! Thanks for sharing our picture and planning our trip. Love r adding your blog and seeing us made it extra fun today!!

Q: attach security group created in another app folder structure.
I am creating the following for 2 seperate applications using same modules in terragrunt

*

*LB

*Instances

*Security Groups

my question is how do I reference a security group created for app1 in app2?
eg.
in app1
I can references it as
security_groups    =  ["${aws_security_group.sec_group_A.id}"]
how can I refer the same security group in app2?
resource "aws_security_group" "sec_group_A" {
  name   =   "sec_group_A"
  ...
  ...
  }

resource "aws_elb" "bar" {
  name               = "foobar-terraform-elb"
  security_groups    =  ["${aws_security_group.sec_group_A.id}"]
  ...
  ...
  }

A: I have no experience of using terragrunt, but normally I would be calling my modules from a "main.tf" file in the root of the project. An example folder structure is below
.
├── main.tf
└── modules
    ├── app1
    │   ├── main.tf
    │   ├── outputs.tf
    │   └── variables.tf
    └── app2
        ├── main.tf
        ├── outputs.tf
        └── variables.tf

My app1 outputs.tf declares a security group A output
output "sec_group_a" { value = "${aws_security_group.sec_group_A}" }

I can then call this output in my main.tf file in the root of the project. This would look something like the below
module "app1" {
  source = "./modules/app1"
  ...
  // Pass in my variables
}

module "app2" {
  source = "./modules/app2"
  sec_group_A = "${module.app1.sec_group_A}"
  ...
  //Pass in the rest of my variables
}

Finally inside of the app2 module you can call this as you would any other variable.
resource "aws_elb" "bar" {
  name               = "foobar-terraform-elb"
  security_groups    =  ["${var.sec_group_A.id}"]
  ...
  ...
  }

I'd read up on modules here https://www.terraform.io/docs/modules/index.html to get a better understanding of how they fit together.
Alternatively you can grab the data from your remote state (if you have one configured) as long as sec_group_A declared as an output in app1. See https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/terraform/d/remote_state.html

A: In app2, you can:
data "aws_security_group" "other" {
    name = "sec_group_A"
}

and then use the ID:
resource "aws_elb" "bar" {
    name               = "foobar-terraform-elb"
    security_groups    =  ["${data.aws_security_group.other.id}"]
    ...
    ...
}

(caveat for using data is that you are running two separate terraform applys - one configuration creates the group, and other configuration references the group).

Melania Trump Shows of Dance Moves in Kenya
Vernon Walton | Saturday, October 06, 2018
Melania Trump is in Africa for her first extended solo trip as First Lady, and visited Nairobi National Park to see its conservation work.
A group of children is also listed to entertain her on Friday.
As well as the national park, she visited an orphanage and watched a children's performance at the city's national theatre. A boy read a story to her in turn. She is now on day five of her week-long tour of Africa.
After donning a white pith helmet, Mrs. Trump later climbed into an open-air vehicle for the 90-minute safari, taking photos on an iPhone and peering through binoculars for a closer look at zebras, giraffes, impalas, sleeping rhinos and hippos bobbing in water.
Mrs. Trump arrived at The Nest orphanage on Friday after helping feed baby elephants, still clad in the riding trousers and tall brown boots she had worn on a safari.
The first Lady snaps a selfie while being guided around the park.
Many people on social media said the Slovenian-born former model had more rhythm than they expected. "It is a attractive thing to see", Mr Trump tweeted on Thursday, 4 October.
According to a release issued by the network, the "wide-ranging interview" with Tom Llamas, which took place during the first few days of Melania's Africa trip, will feature as part of Being Melania: The First Lady, which is set to air on Friday, October 12 at 10pm ET.
But since she is fine, guess we are all fine and do not have to worry about owing an explanation to US President Donald Trump why his wife was nudged by an elephant.
She appears to be relishing her time in Africa.
Kenya was the third stop on Mrs Trump's African tour, which began on Tuesday in Ghana and continued in Malawi on Thursday.
The First Lady fed an elephant and met with national park workers.
Mr Trump incurred the wrath of Africans in February this year when he used the word "shithole" to refer to African nations when talking about immigration. She bent down and scooped up some of the burned ivory, rubbing it lightly in her hands and spent several minutes asking the warden questions.
Trump had decried lifting the ban as a "horror show", but he did not intervene after the agency announced that the importation of elephant trophies will be approved on a "case-by-case basis".
In the afternoon, Mrs Kenyatta hosted her USA counterpart at State House, Nairobi where they held discussions on their shared interests in areas of health and welfare of mothers and children as well as conservation.
U.S. Warns It Could 'Take Out' New Russian Missiles
Mattis, however, said after four years of diplomatic effort, the U.S. is living by the treaty and Russian Federation is not. Under the 2019 NDAA, US legislators allocated $58 million to counter Russia's alleged non-compliance with the INF Treaty.
Suge Knight to serve 28 years for manslaughter
Shakur was taken to University Medical Center in Las Vegas where he died on September 13, 1996, at age 25. His record label helped launch the careers of artists including Dr Dre, Tupac Shakur and Snoop Dogg.
Pompeo backs away from North Korea denuclearisation timeline
At a campaign rally on Saturday, Trump said he and Kim "fell in love", adding "he wrote me attractive letters". "No really. Pompeo stressed that, in the meantime, worldwide sanctions would have to remain in place on North Korea .
China was well placed to carry out this kind of attack, said Bloomberg , because 90% of the world's PCs are made in the country. Apple had reportedly bought around 7,000 Super Micro servers when its security teams discovered the chips.

A 40-year-old Pensacola man is in serious condition after colliding with a tree following a car chase with Escambia County law enforcement, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Jonathan Leissac Cook was allegedly traveling north on Market Street, just north of Michael Drive, at 2:30 a.m. Friday in a 2017 Ford Fusion that was reported stolen the same night.
According to FHP, while he was trying to flee law enforcement, Cook lost control of the vehicle, traveled off-road and collided with a tree.
The collision left his vehicle overturned.
Law enforcement arrested Cook and recovered the stolen vehicle. Cook was transported to Baptist Hospital due to the serious injuries he sustained in the crash.
Before the crash, FHP reported that Cook intentionally backed the Fusion into the front of an Escambia County patrol vehicle while in the parking lot of the Raceway gas station at the corner of Fairfield Drive and North W Street.
He has been charged with driving with a suspended or revoked license and reckless driving.

She clawed down and went on and then she fell but it was lucky that she had a dress and it opened and it opened and she floated down.
Her Aunty was reading Alice a book then Alice fell fast asleep and she was in her dream and she was chasing a white rabbit through a small cave. Have you seen the white rabbit? Then all of a sudden two twins came popping up and the first brother was Beep and the second brother was called Bip. She said she needs to get to the white rabbit. Alice went into the woods and she cannot find him so she sat on a log and started to cry. The queen challenged Alice to a game of mini golf and the queen was always happy when she won.
