Q: Efficient columnwise correlation coefficient calculation Original question
I am correlating row P of size n to every column of matrix O of size n×m. I crafted the following code:
import numpy as np

def ColumnWiseCorrcoef(O, P):
    n = P.size
    DO = O - (np.sum(O, 0) / np.double(n))
    DP = P - (np.sum(P) / np.double(n))
    return np.dot(DP, DO) / np.sqrt(np.sum(DO ** 2, 0) * np.sum(DP ** 2))

It is more efficient than the naive approach:
def ColumnWiseCorrcoefNaive(O, P):
    return np.corrcoef(P,O.T)[0,1:O[0].size+1]

Here are the timings I get with numpy-1.7.1-MKL on an Intel core:
O = np.reshape(np.random.rand(100000), (1000,100))
P = np.random.rand(1000)

%timeit -n 1000 A = ColumnWiseCorrcoef(O, P)
1000 loops, best of 3: 787 us per loop
%timeit -n 1000 B = ColumnWiseCorrcoefNaive(O, P)
1000 loops, best of 3: 2.96 ms per loop

Now the question: can you suggest an even faster version of the code for this problem? Squeezing out additional 20% would be great.
UPDATE May 2017
After quite some time I got back to this problem, re-run and extended the task and the tests.

*

*Using einsum, I have extended the code to the case where P is not a row but a matrix. So the task is correlating all columns of O to all columns of P.

*Being curious on how the same problem can be solved in different languages commonly used for scientific computing, I implemented it (with help from other people) in MATLAB, Julia, and R. MATLAB and Julia are the fastest, and they have a dedicated routine to compute columnwise correlation. R also has a dedicated routine but is the slowest.

*In the current version of numpy (1.12.1 from Anaconda) einsum still wins over dedicated functions I used.
All the scripts and timings are available at https://github.com/ikizhvatov/efficient-columnwise-correlation.

A: We can introduce np.einsum to this; however, your milage may vary depending on your compilation and if it makes use of SSE2 or not. The extra einsum calls to replace summation operations might seem extraneous, but numpy ufuncs do not make use of SSE2 until numpy 1.8 while einsum does and we can avoid a few if statements.
Running this on a opteron core with intel mkl blas I get a odd result as I would expect the dot call to take the majority of the time.
def newColumnWiseCorrcoef(O, P):
    n = P.size
    DO = O - (np.einsum('ij->j',O) / np.double(n))
    P -= (np.einsum('i->',P) / np.double(n))
    tmp = np.einsum('ij,ij->j',DO,DO)
    tmp *= np.einsum('i,i->',P,P)          #Dot or vdot doesnt really change much.
    return np.dot(P, DO) / np.sqrt(tmp)

O = np.reshape(np.random.rand(100000), (1000,100))
P = np.random.rand(1000)

old = ColumnWiseCorrcoef(O,P)
new = newColumnWiseCorrcoef(O,P)

np.allclose(old,new)
True

%timeit ColumnWiseCorrcoef(O,P)
100 loops, best of 3: 1.52ms per loop

%timeit newColumnWiseCorrcoef(O,P)
1000 loops, best of 3: 518us per loop

Running this with a intel system with intel mkl again I get something more reasonable/expected:
%timeit ColumnWiseCorrcoef(O,P)
1000 loops, best of 3: 524 µs per loop

%timeit newColumnWiseCorrcoef(O,P)
1000 loops, best of 3: 354 µs per loop

Again on the intel machine with something a bit bigger:
O = np.random.rand(1E5,1E3)
P = np.random.rand(1E5)

%timeit ColumnWiseCorrcoef(O,P)
1 loops, best of 3: 1.33 s per loop

%timeit newColumnWiseCorrcoef(O,P)
1 loops, best of 3: 791 ms per loop

Everything Pontus Jansson has said about his Leeds United future amid West Brom links
A report in Sweden claims the Baggies are in for the Leeds centre-back

Get the biggest weekday Leeds United FC stories by email
Pontus Jansson was the first Leeds United player to go to the World Cup finals for 12 years this summer when he was a part of the Sweden squad that lost to England in the quarter-finals.
Given Leeds' fortunes over the past decade, that's a somewhat telling statistic, with Eddie Lewis and Rui Marques being the United last players to be selected for the world's biggest sporting competition.
But Jansson's inclusion in Janne Andersson's squad, where he started their opening 1-0 win over South Korea and was a late substitute in the defeat to the Three Lions put him in the shop window.
Before the tournament the likes of Burnley, West Ham and Southampton have already been monitoring his progress this season, but the latest report, from Swedish outlet Expressen claim that Leeds' Championship rivals West Brom are also in for him.

During the build-up to the tournament, Jansson gave a number of interviews to Swedish outlets in which the issue of his future has come up.
So what has he said both recently and during the season?
Jansson admits top flight interest
"There is interest," Jansson told Aftonbladet, when asked about his future.
"All I know is that I'm going to stay in England. It will be a lot for me to leave England. I really enjoy Leeds. But I want to see the ambitions that now is the time to take the lead up to the Premier League."
On wanting changes at Leeds
Jansson last month spoke to Expressen talking about the changes needed at Leeds ahead of next season.
"As we have seen this year, things have to happen," he said.
"It was really bad both on and off the pitch. Leeds wants to go up to the Premier League, that's how the club goes out and talks, and then there are changes.

"We came in the lower half of the second part of the season and it's not good at all."
He also touched on what difference Paul Heckingbottom made following his February arrival.
"Changes in the team were stricter [in the] second half of the season with more training, which is not a problem for me, but [it was] incredibly messy and a big disappointment."
Earlier this month he spoke to Sydsvenskan and gave a typically honest take on Leeds' season and his future, as the Swede admitting that the World Cup could dictate what happens.
"I'm fine even if it was a poor second half of the season in Leeds. I have an important role in the club. I have matured as a player and as a human being."
"We'll see where everything ends after the World Cup. There could be a continuation."

His end of season verdict
At the end of the last campaign Jansson took to Instagram to apologise to the fans.
"Last months of this season has been everything else that i want as a footballer for Leeds United. Go out every week and feel that another season just thrown away," the Swede posted on the social network.
"Of course its dissapointed [sic] for everyone involved and a lot people have to see their thing in the failure but at the end it's about us 11 that are on pitch every week. So sorry for those months.
"Now their is only one way and i know it have been a wakeup for a lot of people so next year its all about it.
Thanks for the support even if we didnt deserved it every week and see you next year."
What went wrong this season
Jansson sat down in front of the press last month, with Leeds knowing they were heading towards a mid-season finish. The defender was asked what went wrong and fronted up.

"A lot of things to be fair," he began. "We can sit here for hours and talk. There's a lot of new people in the club. A new owner, new director a lot of new players and we started the season good and maybe we thought it was too easy. This league is one of the toughest leagues in the world and we came into a bad run on October or November but came back from it, started to win games again, but after New Year a lot of, I don't know, it's so difficult to say and point out what's gone wrong.
"For me there's a lot of things, but like I said, the players on the pitch have to take responsibility for it. If I talk from my perspective, last year there was a lot of credit and positive things when we won games and now when we don't win I have no problem to stay at the front and take a lot of responsibility from this, no problem at all.
"I think it's easy to blame the coach, but the players on the pitch, we can change things and that's what we have to do. Now the only thing we can do is start on Saturday."

Does he see himself being at Leeds next season?
In that session he also spoke about his future.
"Yeah, for sure," he replied when asked if he saw himself at Elland Road next year.
Jansson signed a five-year deal in the summer (Image: Getty Images)
"I signed a five-year deal and I said this since the first day, this club changed my life, changed my football career and I'm so proud and happy for it, but you never know in football. Also what I said in Sweden - you used Google Translate to try to understand so maybe something is not correct. But that's the normal reaction from me, of course I feel frustrated, of course I want to talk to people in this club and see what their goals are. I said I had a dream to play in the Premier League, but I also said the dream to play in the Premier League is playing with Leeds, that's what I said from day one.
"So the only thing I said is that I want to talk to people around this club and hear them be positive about this club and I also said this club belongs in the Premier League. The fans, how they've supported us, yeah, they should be in the Premier League."

Jansson also gave his take on Paul Heckingbottom, before the manager was sacked on June 1.

"I like Paul a lot, I think if he gets time with this squad and this team he's going to be really good. Fulham is one of the toughest away games in the league and in the second half I think we were better than them. There was a lot of great things to take with us from that game."

Google is pausing work on its messaging app Allo, launched in 2016, as it looks to focus on Rich Communication Services (RCS) with the help of operators via a project called Chat, The Verge reported.
RCS is standardised globally by the GSMA and, in this case, would enable users across all Android devices to chat for free.
Google wants the default texting experience to be as good as that on services including WhatsApp and Messenger, and it will be similar to the way iMessage works on Apple devices.
This means the inclusion of features including read receipts, knowing when the other user is typing, full-resolution images and video, and group texts. However, it will not have end-to-end encryption, the news outlet said.
Chat will not be a new texting app but Android's default for texting, and will be an operator-based service rather than a Google service. Chat will be interoperable and messages will be sent via a user's data plan instead of SMS plan.
Google garnered the support of more than 55 operators globally as well as Microsoft. This is via the GSMA's Universal Profile, which the association describes as "a single, industry-agreed set of features and technical enablers developed to simplify the product development and global operator deployment of RCS".
However, it is still unclear what role Microsoft will play and when operators will roll out the service.
Anil Sabharwal, the Google executive behind the Google Photos app, will lead the new efforts.
"We can't do it without these [carrier and OEM] partners. We don't believe in taking the approach that Apple does. We are fundamentally an open ecosystem. We believe in working with partners. We believe in working with our OEMs to be able to deliver a great experience," he said.
Google currently offers four messaging apps: Hangouts; Allo; Duo; and Android Messages.
Android Messages is the current defautlt texting apps for most Android devices (not including Samsung) and has 100 million monthly active users.

Roman Diamond Cut Ware Jar / Beaker
These stunning jars, or beakers, would have been hand thrown by ancient potters, most probably, on a stick wheel. A highly effective tool that allowed these early potters to mass produce items for the ever-growing Empire.
Once dried a little, the potter carefully cut each individual diamond mark into the surface of the clay. It is a laborious process, but the results are beautiful.
Samian Ware would have originally been made in Gaul, where the fine red illite clay deposits were ideal for this sort of production, before being sent out to all the corners of the Roman Empire.
For those who love a bit of archaeological detail, this Samian Ware jar has been made in the style of a form 72.
Terracotta and red slip finish
Approx. 145 mm tall, 120 mm diameter
This replica Roman pot has been hand made in Northumberland by Potted History, based on an original artefact. It has been fired to a temperature of over 1000 Centigrade, to emulate the same techniques that the original potters would have employed nearly two thousand years ago. This process often results in variations of the surface colour and texture, emulating original Roman Pottery and giving each pot it's unique character. When ordering you may not get the exact cup photographed and the colouring may vary slightly.
This is a Museum Quality Replica made using the tools and techniques that would have been used during the Roman era. As this is an unglazed pot with a porous surface it will absorb some of the flavours during use, which does add to the flavour of future beverages. However, it does also mean that this pot does not meet modern Health and Safety standards and therefore we do not advise that it is used. When the Romans cleaned these pots they would rely on applying sufficient heat to the pot to ensure that all bacteria was killed. Heating to over 70°C for at least 10 minutes would have killed most disease causing bacteria and temperatures of 100°C would do even more.

Belgium: E-invoicing is the new normal for B2G invoicing
Following the publication of the Royal Decree of 9 March 2022, companies will have to issue e-invoices in the context of public contracts and concession contracts. by eClear
These electronic invoices aim to combat tax evasion by transparently transmitting all invoices to the competent authorities. All relevant invoices must therefore be issued and sent via PEPPOL, a European platform for data exchange with authorities.
The mandatory e-invoice will be introduced gradually, depending on the estimated value of public contracts:
For public contracts put out to tender on or after 1 November 2022 with an estimated value equal to or above the European threshold;
For public contracts put out to tender on or after 1 May 2023 with an estimated value of EUR 30,000 or more (excluding VAT);
On 1 November 2023, all other public contracts will follow, except for contracts below the threshold of EUR 3,000 (excluding VAT), which are, in principle, tax-exempt.

NEW APRIL 2019. Nearly everyone has heard of the Walschaert valve gear, but hardly anyone knows how it works. It takes a brave writer to set out to explain it, but the author of this booklet is certainly one of them. There are eight pages of text, and four pages of drawings marked with numbers which relate to his account. He writes with authority and with commendable clarity (though, unavoidably, an ability in the reader to picture things in more than one dimension is a great help!). He starts with a brief biography of Egide Walschaert, then devotes most of the work to building up a description and an explanation of the gear one step at a time.
The work bears no mention of who wrote it, nor who it was written for. Its format is typescript on ageing sheets of quarto paper, held together with rusty staples. That, and what it says ("The Walschaert valve gear is being fitted to ever-increasing numbers of new engines..." and "...engineers are agreed that this gear fulfils most of the requirements of the modern high-speed superheated engine"), suggest that it probably dates back to the earlier decades of the twentieth century - the 1920s, perhaps.

Portraits of Place in Antarctica will provide a photographic perspective on the built environment of the science stations and the relationship to surrounding landscapes. A chronological progression of the architecture will be shown, giving a sense of the time periods of their construction, and the building techniques employed. All building types will be looked at, from science labs, housing, social space, to the infrastructure that keeps the stations running. A comparison between the historic huts and the current field stations is of interest because of the size and scale. The historic science labs from the Heroic Age will be photographed as well as the modern science labs. The photographer will also make visual comparisons to early explorations by taking photographs of the current landscapes in the Dry Valleys and putting them alongside historical documents.

Eavesdropping at the Movies: 362 – Dressed to Kill
July 4, 2022 Eavesdropping at the MoviesAngie Dickinson, Brian de Palma, Dressed to Kill, Michael Caine, Nancy Allen, Psycho, Thriller, TransNotesonFilm1
Problematic and protested against upon its release in 1980, and remaining so today, Dressed to Kill is nonetheless stylish and engrossing, showing off some truly great filmmaking. We talk Psycho and cinema's transgender villains, why Nancy Allen should have been a star, Brian De Palma's greatest deaths, and the version of Michael Caine that José doesn't like.
Thinking Aloud About Film: Pixote (Hector Babenco, Brazil, 1981)
May 16, 2022 UncategorizedBorstal Films, City of God, David Quinlan, Fernando Ramos da Silva, Hector Babenco, Mairlia Pera, official corruption, Pixote, prostitution, Scum, Sheldon Hall, The Young and the Damned, TransNotesonFilm1
We're both glad to find that PIXOTE retains all of the power we remember it for from decades ago when we first saw it. A realist political film whose aim it is to reveal conditions of existence as a pre-condition for creating change. It's a film highly judgmental of systemic corruption, particularly as it effects children, but very open and accepting about different ways of being, with one of the earliest, most rounded and complex characterisations of a teen trans character either of us remember seeing. In this podcast we discuss the achievements of the film; it's realist 'documentary' style, the extraordinary performances from the children and from Marilia Pera as the ageing prostitute, the power of its imagery; how we suspect it would be even harder to make and show today then it was then; we discuss the context in which the film was shown on British Television, we compare it to Buñuel's LOS OLVIDADOS/ THE YOUNG AND THE DAMNED, Fernano Meirelles and Kátia Lund's CITY OF GOD, and Alan Clarke's SCUM; and we discuss the racial mix of the group of children and its significance.
For those of you interested in following up on some aspects of the discussion. Here is a discussion of the death of Fernando Ramos da Silva, who plays Pixote:

Here's the trailer for the Channel 4 "Red Triangle" season, which helped create a context in which the film was then seen in its first UK television showing:
When the film was first screened on British Television it carried a Special Discretion Required symbol, as you can see below. The TV Times Review and Listing is by David Quinlan. Many thanks to Sheldon Hall for providing it to us,

January 28, 2022 UncategorizedA marriage rupturing, Immanol Arias, Marisa Paredes, The Flower of My Secret, TransNotesonFilm1
A marriage fracturing in The Flower of My Secret:
I've now rewatched all of Almodóvar's films to The Flower of My Secret, and note that transvestites and/or transexuals appear in all of his films, without exception, often in important roles, often with cis women playing trans women or vice-versa (he deploys this interchangeability meaningfully). Even in this bit, which is really otherwise unnecessary to the story the film is telling, he finds a place for them. Almodóvar's world is a world with Trans. This was of course also true of Warhol and Waters but they were underground and/or avant-garde. I can't think of another mainstream figure, a pillar of European Art Cinema for the last forty years, of which this can be said.
Eavesdropping at the Movies: 128 – Colette
Gender-bending in turn-of-the-century France, with the true story of Colette, probably the most famous female writer in French history and author, although they were published under her husband's name, of the Claudine stories. With representational interests that give voice and presence to people and lifestyles one might not expect in a period film, and two very good central performances, one sensitive and complex, from Keira Knightley, and the other fabulously charming, Dominic West's, there are things we like. But our overall response is disappointed, the positives dulled by a poor script, some badly developed characters, and direction that allows no metaphor to pass unvocalised.
Mike considers it a potentially smart film destroyed by a pointless fear of its audience not getting it; José sees it as the middle-of-the-road cinema it is, for better and worse. It's worth a look in some respects, but we can't claim it's a good film.

The Danish Girl (Tom Hooper, UK/Germany/USA, 2015)
January 6, 2016 Film Blurb, UncategorizedAmber Heard, Ben Whishaw, Eddie Redmayne, LGBT, Mathias Schoenaerts, Tom Hooper, TransNotesonFilm1
I finally got to see The Danish Girl and was unexpectedly moved. My opinion of Tom Hooper hasn't improved. There is a reason why his company's called 'Pretty Pictures': he can make them pretty but he can't mobilise that prettyness into meaningfulness. He's obviously superb with actors and I think Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander are believable and affecting; the former in a very risky part; also it feels like a kind of bourgeois filmmaking: all this delicate and thoughtful suffering in exquisite settings whilst thinking of art and higher things…and yet, on an emotional level, it still gets to you. It's interesting.
There are complex themes around identity that revolve around sex, gender, but also artistic production. The need to express oneself is in this film as important as that of becoming one's idea of who one wants to be in the face of harshly punitivie social prohibitions. The Danish Girl doesn't necessarily present these ideas in a complex manner. For example, sometimes the film presents the question of sex as an essence struggling to overcome the boundaries of the wrong body that imprisons it; sometimes it shows gender in the very process of its construction as its costumed, painted and slipped on. Sometimes it confuses the various categories it seems to be dramatising. But what it might get muddled analytically it more than makes up for emotionally. The film gets us to understand and feel for 'The Danish Girl' and when he asks his wife 'I don't know what I've ever done to have earned such love', I welled up. It's a question often asked but this time we know the answer.
In The Danish Girl, there seems to be an overt contradiction between representing social transgression as a pathway to truth whilst deploying the most conservative aesthetics means to do so, which act as obfuscation, a kind of show-and-hide and perhaps an appeasement of potential audience reactions via gentle and extraneous pleasures. I at first thought Eddie Redmayne was too young to already seem so mannered. But then began reading the initial overdone gesture as a foreshadowing of the transformations to come and ended by thinking it a really marvellous performance. Vikander is just as good in a less showy part. Mathias Schoenaerts, Amber Heard and Ben Whishaw appear intermittently to offer unstinting support and very considerable glamour.


The resulting Jest-based testing setup does not function.
You can get a nice Mocha testing setup working for React Native using a custom Mocha config and react-native-mock-render. See below for the modules you'll need to add and the configuration.
Couldn't find preset "module:metro-react-native-babel-preset" relative to directory "/Users/bgladwell/repos/testproj"
There is some problem with how Jest and Babel are (not) working together. In this case, Jest's out-of-the-box configuration is working against us. Dependencies for Jest and Metro are apparently causing some conflict between Babel 6 and Babel 7, but it's quite difficult to isolate which packages are causing the conflict.
There are open issues for React Native and Metro, but no definitive solutions.
The react-native preset is short for babel-preset-react-native. As you might guess, this is a Babel preset package for working with react native code. What is less obvious is that babel-preset-react-native depends on Babel 6 and has been superseded by metro-react-native-babel-preset, which depends on Babel 7. So to regress back to babel-preset-react-native means forcing our project to continue to depend on Babel 6, something that the react-native maintainers have decided against. Also, we have to worry about more than Jest here; Metro (the React Native bundler) depends on Babel 7. It seems unwise to have our tests compiled with Babel 6 while our development and production code is compiled by Babel 7.
There may be some way to resolve this issue using Jest. I'm just not sure how. And neither does anyone else, judging by the React Native and Metro issues.
Let's add Mocha and Enzyme to our project so that we can test React components. We also add Chai for assertions. Of course, we'll have to add the Enzyme React 16 adapter. We will configure Enzyme to use the adapter below.
Our test assumes that App.js renders a simple component with three <Text> component children, which is how react-native init generated it.
However, the good people at Root Insurance have forked the project and improved it. Lets use their module: react-native-mock-render.
Now what happens if we also load react-native-mock-render with our tests?
If the above is working for you, you're good to go. However, it wasn't enough for my project.
Let's add a fairly large dependency to our project: Native Base. This will bring in a host of other modules.
Now what happens when we run our test?
Wait, what? This looks like Babel 7 is no longer doing its job. Why is "import" an unexpected token?
The answer is that Babel 7 no longer compiles node_modules by default. This isn't necessarily bad. If you don't need to do it, compiling everything in node_modules can add a LOT of overhead to your tests.
But we apparently DO need Babel 7 to compile the modules under node_modules that ship with ES2015 assets. To make that happen, we're going to create a new Mocha configuration that we load at runtime. As a bonus, we can put some of our general test config stuff (like Enzyme's adapter config) in there too.
As you can see, at the top of the file we configure Enzyme with the React 16 adapter, so we can remove that stuff from our test file. We also pull in react-native-mock-render, so we can now omit that from the command line when running our tests.
Then, we require @babel/register (the same module that we were --requireing on the command line` and pass it a configuration object.
This specifies the same Babel preset that is listed in the .babelrc file generated by native-react init. As you may recall, it is the new version of babel-preset-react-native that uses Babel 7.
Next comes the ignore array. You can find documentation for how this works here. In our case, we are providing a function that returns false for anything we do want Babel to compile, true for anything it should skip.
The function says to compile anything in the packages array, skip anything else under node_modules, compile everything else. In our case we want to compile native-base-shoutem-theme, the module with the error from above.
We could simply write the ignore array as an empty array, but this would mean Babel should compile everything, including node_modules. That seems unnecessarily slow. Using the ignore function above, we can simply add the name of any module that ships code with ES2015 import semantics.
And there you go! Working React Native component tests with Mocha and Babel 7.
You can/should of course put that in a npm script and omit the node\_modules/.bin/ as well as change App.test.js to be something like **/*.test.js.
Snapshot testing with Mocha seems to work with with snap-shot-it and enzyme-to-json. So far, I'm quite happy with Mocha as my React Native test framework.

Of the 1.2 billion people who live in Africa, it's estimated that more than 650 million have no access to energy, relying instead on fossil fuels like diesel for electricity generation and harmful cooking fuels like wood, charcoal, and kerosene.
This sets Africa back on meeting energy access goals and diminishes the continent's economic growth by two to four percent every year. We have much to learn from developing countries across Asia that are making significant progress, with many on track to reach universal energy access by 2030.
India, with a 1.34 billion population, will reach universal access by the early 2020s. We believe Africa presents a compelling energy investment case for our long-standing Indian trade partners, for many reasons.
Developing economies across Africa are in a unique position to leapfrog more developed nations by investing in cleaner, environmentally friendlier sources of power at a lower cost – key factors contributing to improved use of renewable energy power across the continent. Countries like Morocco, Tanzania, Mozambique, Kenya, Mauritius, South Africa, Uganda and Ghana have taken initiatives in the development of renewable and clean energy projects, particularly solar and gas to power.
With the current low cost of gas compared to several years ago (through the shale gas revolution in the USA), gas power plants have increasingly become more competitive compared to clean coal technologies and are an affordable solution. Although renewable energy resources hold great promise and can provide energy while overcoming Africa's infrastructural challenges, this form of energy would still need to be stored. That is why lithium ion batteries could be a game changer for Africa.
There've been massive investments in the field of battery storage research and development by leading global companies like Samsung, Tesla, and Total over the past five years. As the costs of Li-Fe battery storage falls, coupled with already low cost of solar photovoltaic modules, the future of the electricity market could be solar photovoltaic plants.
South Africa alone holds almost 80% of the world's known reserves of manganese (producing 5.3 million MT per annum) – an important component of the Li-Fe battery. A growing market will justify the creation of a local battery production plant, but serious investment is first needed for a large-scale facility.
Mozambique with a deal value in excess of USD30 billion, with two more similar deals imminent.
Many other countries in Africa like Nigeria, Ghana, Angola, and South Sudan have impressive oil and gas reserves. The spin-off effects from this will be huge for local economies with the possibilities of cracker plants, fertiliser and petrochemical plants, pipelines, gas-to-power plants, and LNG export terminals posing sizeable opportunities for Indian corporates.
despite the frustratingly long lead times for infrastructure projects, on a risk-return adjusted basis, Africa boasts better returns than developed markets. With the right investment in the right infrastructure, and with the right partners, Africa is well poised for solid socio-economic growth and sustainable development.

World Law Group global guide on data security breach notification published
Our Data Protection team has played an instrumental role in creating the World Law Group's (WLG) latest report, 'Global Guide to Data Breach Notifications' and its companion website.
Data security breaches involving personal data are causing a major headache to businesses and public bodies around the globe. High-profile horror stories of hacked databases and other personal data security breaches continue to hit the headlines. The impact on organisations can far outstrip hefty fines and can involve significant costs of containing and handling a breach, as well as substantial risk of reputational damage.
Many in-house lawyers and privacy professionals dread getting that call informing them something has gone horribly wrong and ending in the question, 'do we need to notify'? Dealing with an incident in one country is bad enough but if it involves multiple jurisdictions, a patchwork of mismatched laws around the world on security breach notification can be a legal minefield.
The new Global Guide to Data Breach Notifications aims to distil the experience of privacy and data protection lawyers from WLG member firms into a single point of reference to help organisations plan their response to a data security breach. The report outlines the variations in data security breach notification laws in 43 countries.
The WLG is a network of 53 leading independent law firms with more than 325 offices in major commercial centres worldwide. It offers access to more than 16,000 lawyers in 60 countries from 315 offices in major business centres around the world. Wragge & Co's corporate partner Stuart Young was appointed to the board of WLG in 2011.

Upton Sinclair's book "The Jungle" remains an inspiration to journalists. a history student whose brother is a government agent and a fugitive Nazi war criminal — our brutal antagonist. Bushrod, or "Bush" Wyckoff was only twelve years old when he went to work for Zeph Ashton, who was not only a crusty farmer, but one of the meanest men in the country, and his wife was well fitted to be the life partner of such a parsimonious person.

Ellis disponible en Rakuten : Gutenberg. THE GREAT COUNTERATTACK FROM THE FOREST - The Jungle Book ep. 45 - EN manages to scare the villagers so badly that they do not attempt to even follow the fugitives. In order to avoid more. The skill shown by cattlemen in throwing the riata or lasso often approaches the marvelous.
What is more wonderful than the duel described in the San Francisco Examiner, between Mexican vaqueros, in which the only weapons used were their riatas?The victor overcame the other by throwing his noose, so that his enemy's noose passed right through it. With the help of the other animals, Mowgli makes it possible for Jumeirah and her family to escape, and, at the same time, manages to scare the villagers so badly that they do not attempt to even follow the fugitives.
In order to avoid more problems, the animals then destroy the village and drive the humans out of the jungle.

Whenever a plugin is started, it will first call the Main() function. This function is also known as a "script fiber", meaning it can be suspended (yielded) to give the execution back to the game (and other Openplanet plugins). If you're familiar with ManiaScript, then the execution flow should be recognizable.
In the script, we've added an infinite loop while (true) and within that, we are printing "Hello, world!", and then suspending script execution for 1000 milliseconds (1 second).
If you change the sleep delay to 0 milliseconds, execution will be returned the next game frame. A shortcut for this is to simply call yield();.
Note: If you're familiar with this concept from ManiaScript, be advised that in ManiaScript gamemodes, script execution is at a fixed rate of 100 FPS, while in Openplanet all plugins run at the render framerate.

Chip Taylor i Songwriters Hall of Fame
Chip Taylor har valts in i Songwriters Hall of Fame tillsammans med namn som Elvis Costello, Marvin Gaye, Tom Petty och Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards. Äntligen!
Så här motiverar organisationen beslutet att välja in Chip Taylor:
Chip Taylor's songwriting accomplishments began with two of the biggest and most popular songs of the past 50 years, »Wild Thing« and »Angel Of The Morning.« These classic songs were huge chart hits and have become two of the most covered songs of all time. Taylor's songwriting cut across genres, with pop hits »I Can't Let Go« (The Hollies, Linda Ronstadt) and »Try (Just A Little Bit Harder)« (Janis Joplin); R&B hits »Welcome Home« (Walter Jackson, Dusty Springfield) and »I Can't Wait Until I See My Baby's Face« (Baby Washington); and country hits »Sweet Dream Woman« (Waylon Jennings), »Just A Little Bit Later Down The Line« (Bobby Bare) and »Springtime« (the Brown Family).
Taylor's Storybook Children for Billy Vera & Judy Clay was the first interracial duet to hit the charts. His 1973 country/rock album, spawned many covers such as »Son Of A Rotten Gambler« (Emmylou Harris), »Clean Your Own Tables« (Johnny Cash) and »The Real Thing« (George Strait).
The most iconic singers of the past half-century have recorded his songs: Aretha Franklin, Willie Nelson, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Janis Joplin, Ike & Tina Turner, Peggy Lee, Dusty Springfield, Jimi Hendrix, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Nina Simone, Waylon Jennings, Chrissie Hynde, Fats Domino, George Strait, Anne Murray and Bonnie Raitt.
Now in his seventh decade of writing and performing songs, his own albums, including the Grammy-nominated Yonkers NY and Golden Kids Rules, a collaboration with his grandchildren Riley, Kate and Sammy Ennis, have been critically acclaimed and mainstays on the Americana charts. He continues to tour the world playing his songs for audiences everywhere.


We've all heard about smart phones, smart TV, smart appliance, and even smart watch. But have you heard about smart drug too? If this term might sound foreign to you, don't worry. Smart drug is commonly referred to as nootropics. There are cognitive enhancer medications that can improve brain functionalities. This spans not only the basic brain functions but also memory and creativity.
A good example of a smart drug is Modafinil. To date, online Modafinil is rampant in the Internet. This is because of its popularity as a nootropic. Though there are already a lot of smart drugs that can be able to deliver the same results as that of Modafinil, this particular supplement is a class of its own. There are a lot of great reasons why this by par is the best in the market.
Modafinil effects have a great deal of evidences. Its notable effect is that it increases one's resistance to fatigue and improve one's mood. A study published by the University of Cambridge has found out that this smart drug is effective at reducing impulse response like making bad decisions. Even if you are sleep deprived, Modafinil can improve the brains functions. There are also some resources that this helps people with lower IQ.
You might think of this smart drug as a stimulant given the effects towards one's brain functionalities and mood. However, it might be like a stimulant but it is actually a eugeroic. This is a wakefulness-promoting agent. Unlike notable stimulants, this will not make you speedy or jittery. If you happen to not use it anymore, you don't need to worry as you will not experience any withdrawal symptoms at all. This makes taking it safe.
Few to no side effects.
Modafinil is known to be one safe supplement. Those individuals that overuse this every day for the longest time see no problems in spite of not using it anymore. This can be attributed to its non-addicting effect. It can even help people kick addictions. No wonder, modafinil buy is popular nowadays because it not only works really well but it has no adverse side effects.
If you are seeking for a smart drug or a nootropic supplement that can help power up your brain, Modafinil would be the best choice there is. Not only is this effective but it is also safe even for everyday use. But then again as an extra precaution, make sure to consult your physician before taking any.


The gigantic Q7 has been given a facelift and a couple of smaller, more efficient engines. But the 4.2-litre V8 diesel still makes a lot of sense.
GOOD as the revised Q7's new 3.0TDI diesel engine is, Audi's vast Q7 rather swamps it. For many customers, what's needed is something bigger and brawnier to power this leviathan SUV and it's here in the shape of the 4.2 V8 TDI. The latest model's economy figure of 30.7mpg, 340bhp power output and an ability to get from 0-60mph in 6.4 seconds speak volumes.
Start reviewing any vehicle the size of the Audi Q7 and the familiar theme of urban 4x4s soon raises its head. For once, let's put that argument to one side and just celebrate what is, by any standard, an incredible piece of engineering. The Audi Q7 4.2TDI features a diesel engine that can not only beat the fuel economy figures of many petrol-engined family saloons but also has the pace to keep a proper sports car honest. Prices start north of £50,000.
Revealed for the first time at the 2007 Geneva Auto Salon, this car's engine is the successor to the Volkswagen Group's incredible 5.0-litre V10 TDI unit - a powerplant that wouldn't comply with ever stricter emissions regulations. So it is that we got this smaller, cleaner but more powerful turbodiesel fitted to the big Audi 4x4. Whether it will prove quite so popular now that there's a re-engineered version of the 3.0 TDI diesel engine, assisted by start-stop technology, that's still cleaner and more economical time will tell. For lovers of truly effortless performance, I suspect not.
The Q7 chassis will never be at the sportier end of the luxury 4x4 continuum but it's nevertheless a tidy handler. The car could use a little more steering feel but the standard fit adaptive air suspension allows the Q7 to be dropped into a 'Dynamic' low ride height mode when you want to hustle and hustle you will with this powerplant. Cranking out some 800Nm of torque, this engine is more muscular than many fully-fledged supercar units. Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, Ferrari 599GTB, Porsche Carrera GT, McLaren F1 - none of these can match the torque of the Audi.
The best part about this engine is that the vast reserves of torque allow it to run at low engine speeds while still generating all that muscle. In fact, you need barely exceed tickover as peak torque is available anywhere between 1,750 and 2,750rpm. Should you wish to extend it, the Q7 4.2TDI will bludgeon its way to a top speed of 150mph. The Q7 makes a superb motorway cruiser with its suspension set into cosseting 'Comfort' mode. The eight-speed tiptronic gearbox has normal and Sport shift patterns or you can operate it manually via the steering wheel paddle shifters.
As good as the Q7 is on longer runs, get it in town or in tighter country lanes and you'll soon appreciate that it's a sizeable thing. You'll probably look at two or three parking spaces before finding one that the big Audi will fit into and that gets tiresome quickly. It runs on a stretched version of the original Volkswagen Touareg chassis and features a seven seat configuration, making it ideal for bigger families. If you can get away from the rugged mud plugging mentality and instead think of it as a multi-purpose estate car on growth hormone, you'll bond with the Q7 a whole lot quicker. Even its styling seems to distance it from off-roaders.
The latest models display the results of a mild facelift with the key changes being more shapely bumpers incorporating under-body protectors and LED rear light clusters. Inside, the instrument cluster and the controls have been redesigned and nudged up market. The coupe-like dipping roofline isn't standard 4x4 fare, nor are the resolutely horizontal shoulders. Audi even offer contrasting body colours in a bid to emphasise the car's shapely profile. Audi claim 28 seating and loading configurations are available in the Q7 and the seats in the second row are adjustable for fore/aft movement. This allows Audi to not only lay claim to the most generous second row legroom in the class but also - with the second row slid forward and the rear folded - to also pinch first prize for luggage capacity, a huge 775 litres.
The Q7 4.2TDI comes stacked with equipment. Full leather trim is a standard fit, as are inlays in three different types of wood or aluminium. All V8 TDI models get 19" alloy wheels and Bluetooth mobile phone technology as standard while the S-Line adds heated front seats and xenon headlamps. There's also an onboard coimputer, cruise control and multifunction steering wheel. Adaptive cruise control and lane departure warning systems are optional as is an advanced hard disc satallite navigation and stereo system.
There are some extremely thoughtful touches to the Q7. The ability to raise the tailgate from the keyfob is one that draws jealous glances from other 4x4 owners. Likewise, the ability to raise the car on its air suspension going from autoroute bullet to almost monster truck clearance in a matter of seconds is also something it's tough to get tired of. What really impresses about the Q7 though is just how accessible all of these systems are. Yes, there are manuals in the glove box that together total over 700 pages but you'll rarely need to consult them. Unlike in a rival BMW or Mercedes, there are very few times when the control systems flummox you.
If you need a spacious seven seat 4x4 vehicle and can afford the Audi Q7 4.2TDI, there's very little reason why you shouldn't indulge yourself. What are the alternatives? You could opt for something like a top of the line Chrysler Grand Voyager or Renault Grand Espace but neither of these have the image of the Audi nor do they possess an engine as efficient. This leaves other 4x4s such as the new BMW X5 or the Volvo XC90. If you're a keen driver, the BMW might well edge the decision but there's something about the Q7 that's enormously appealing. Perhaps it's the accessibility of its functions or the fact that it's just so easy to drive. Only in confined areas do you feel its bulk. It's impossible to escape the sense of wonderment this engine generates though. It defines this vehicle and puts rivals in the shade. It's almost worth the price of admission alone.


This makes it difficult for contributors to review current status.
We publish the Configuration reference to http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/ .
We also have a trunk index page that speaks about "Draft" guides but references also continuous publishing guides which might confuse users.
Another challenge is drafts of translated guides. Currently we do not differentiate between fully translated guides and drafts, the only difference is a link in the index page.
Publish draft content to a special location like /draft/ .
Remove the current /trunk/index.html page and links to it.
Take care that search machines do not index these pages.
Ensure that any partial translated pages do not publish to /lang/trunk/ but instead to /lang/draft .
Publish draft translated content to /draft/LANG/ .
Add the guides to /draft/draft-index.html index page.
Once guides are reviewed and fully translated , move the content to /LANG/ and reference it from a public language specific index page.
Publish to another location like /trunk/ .
Remove /trunk/index.html and links to it.
Review translated documents and publish draft translated documents to /draft/LANG/ and add links to /draft/draft-index.html .
Test by going to /trunk and making sure redirect is in place.
Search for draft content to make sure it's not found.
