VALHALLA (Expanded)
Goodwin, Ron
Label: PLANT SOUNDS
CD No: PS180615
In December 1985 composer Ron Goodwin attended his very last film scoring session. It was at Easy Sound Studio in Copenhagen, and the film his music was recorded for, was an ambitious Danish animated feature called "Valhalla", based on Peter Madsen's comics of the same name.
At the time of it's release in 1986, "Valhalla" had become the most expensive film in Danish film history, and the 4 years of production chaos had taken it's toll on the many devoted crew members, who had worked tirelessly to see the film come to life.
Now, some 30 years later, the film remains a classic in Denmark, and part of reason for it's continued success is due to the wonderful symphonic score by legendary English composer Ron Goodwin.
Originally Danish composers Bent Hesselmann and Jussi Adler Olsen (now a famous author) were assigned with scoring the film. Part of their music was incorporated into the score by Ron Goodwin, and their original contribution to the films 10 minute pilot receives a world premiere release on this album.
After "Valhalla", Ron Goodwin gave up film scoring, and focused on conducting instead. He remained active until the days before his death in January 2003.
PlantSounds are extremely proud to present this Anniversary Edition of the music from "Valhalla", which includes:
* The score, as presented on earlier releases by Replay and Label X, but remastered by Audioplanet for this release.

How Do Australians Budget for Meat?
In Australia, beef is considered a luxury by many, while the consumption of chicken and pork is unfortunately on the rise as consumers look for cheaper meat.
Summary By: Karol Orzechowski | Original Study By: Wong, L., Selvanathan, E. A., & Selvanathan, S. | Published: June 30, 2015
Photo by Flickr user laruth
As in other developed nations, meat plays a central part of the Australian diet; though the types of meat making its way into most meals there has changed over the past 50 years.
This study looked at consumption and price data for five types of meat—beef, chicken, lamb, pork, and sheep meat (i.e., mutton)—between 1962 and 2011. The findings show that meat consumption in Australia has been steadily increasing over this time, however not all types of meat experienced an upwards trend. While per capita consumption of chicken and pork has increased over time, consumption of beef, lamb, and sheep has seen a decline. Despite the increase in consumption, individual spending on meat has reduced by half: from 8.4% of consumer expenditures in 1962 to 3.4% in 2011. During this period, the conditional budget share of chicken has tripled and that of pork has more than doubled, while the share for beef, lamb, and sheep decreased (the latter to virtually nothing).
Further findings from the study show that beef is seen as a luxury, unlike the other four meats that are considered necessities. The data also reveals that changes in consumers' taste preferences over the last five decades have played a notable role in shifting consumption patterns from a focus on beef, lamb, and sheep, to a preference for chicken and pork.
This study provides important information for advocates to consider. The problematic trend of an increase in chicken consumption, given that more chickens are killed to produce a similar quantity of meat from other animals, is concerning. More encouraging, however, is that this study shows that meat consumption practices are not static. Indeed, in as little as 50 years, both the budget allocations for, and individual consumption patterns of, certain types of meat can drastically change, with taste preferences a notable driver. Knowing that this type of change is possible reinforces to advocates the importance of considering how to help shift preference from meat to humane alternatives in the future, so as to avoid consumption simply shifting from one type of meat to another.

Traditional Nepali Architecture (Bastukala) is a branch of the broader arts family that is of great importance to Nepal and her people.
Why? Because architecture touches on such a wide range of topics, from the ancient Vedic science of Vastu Shastra, to a whole gamut of supportive arts and artisanship (such as sculpture and statuary, as well as woodwork and carving), to monumental temple and palace buildings, contemporary town planning and the place of contemporary Western influenced civic, recreational and office building, to rural, village and farm forms of utilitarian buildings (of which there are many forms across Nepal, from those in the upper Mustang area carved in to mountains, to traditional thatched roofing), and even shanty-type structures created for shelter for those living with minimal work or income.
In brief it affects the lives of every single citizen of Nepal, and of course is most striking to international visitors; making it the most accessible of all art forms for study and to define the history and socialogical composition of the nation. Nepal's architecture warrants major study for all who would come to know the great nation and people of Nepal, as the work and words of Rabindra Puri highlight (see below).
Traditional Nepali temple architecture may be said to be divided in to three main Styles — Pagoda: Stupa: Shikkar — and in the case of the first of these has in ancient times had a direct influence on Chinese architecture through the introduction from Nepal of the pagoda as a distinct feature of temple and monestry architecture (as opposed to other forms of this particular type of building), in conjunction with the advent of Buddhism to China, and subsequently Japan and the broader East Asian cultural zone of the world.
Namuna Ghar and the work of internationally renowned culture & conservation artist and architect Rabindra Puri:
Bhaktapur, a city near Kathmandu, in Nepal is renowned for culture, traditions and its ancient monuments. Bhaktapur is a clean and quiet city and is also known as the cultural capital of Nepal. As the race of civilization is at its highest peak, people are confirmed to turn this beautiful ancient city into a concrete jungle, not knowing the value of what their ancestors have left for them is a beautiful masterpiece of traditional architecture. … I wanted to build something that would catch the sights and thoughts of the people, and I wanted to set an example that how one could maintain the ancient architectural method building a house using the modern amenities without destroying its ancient looks and values. ……read more.

The Architecture of Foreign Architects in Nepal
Nepal opened up for modern development only after 1950. Thereafter and as the experience of constructing modern building types was rather limited in Nepal, a wide range of foreign architects have worked and contributed to the architectural design of the country. Their involvement with projects in Nepal within the last fifty years has followed diverse streams and the production of architecture …. read more

Q: On Linux, is the command-line program mktemp less safe than the C-function mkstemp? Both operations create an empty file and return the filename but mkstemp leaves the file open in exclusive mode and gives you the handle.  Is there a safety benefit to the C-function?  Does this imply that there is a safety hole in the command-line version?
As an aside, it is interesting that there are several related functions in the C api on Linux and most of them say "Don't use this function" (or similar) in their man page.

A: One trick with temporary files in Unix-like operating systems (including Linux and Mac OS) is as soon as you open the file, delete it.  You can still access the file, but nobody else can see it or do anything to it, and it will go away as soon as you close the file, even if your program dies a horrible death.

A: As you can easily see from mktemp(1) source code, it essentially does nothing but calling mkstemp(3).
Exclusive mode in Linux means that function will fail if the file already exists, it does not guarantee locking. Other process can delete this file, create it again and fill it with data, despite the file handle being open(3) by your process.
There is no additional safety in C function compared to command line utility.

A: The most obvious difference between a system call and a command line function is that command line functions are used by people or their shell scripts, while system calls are always done by programs.
It would be quite hard to hand a person a file handle.
Regarding "safety", you should think about race conditions: several instances of one program call mkstemp at the same time, but each one is guaranteed to have a unique temporary file. If the program shelled out and called the command line version, it'd be almost impossible to guarantee this.

Q: How to position the plot legend outside the plot in the bottom-right I'm using the latest ggplot2 and currently do p + theme(legend.position='right'). The function theme is well documented and combining bottom and right doesn't seem possible. However, maybe there is an alternate way to achieve this?

A: You can use 2-element numeric vector for the position, something like:
p+theme(legend.position=c(0.85,0)

The problem is, it will overlap the plotting area.
And if you want to force it to be in one horizontal line, you can add:
p+guides(fill = guide_legend(nrow = 1))

EDIT
I used plot.margin to expand the area at the bottom, you can play with the parameters:
p+
 guides(fill = guide_legend(nrow = 1))+
 theme(plot.margin=unit(c(1,1,4,0.5),"cm"))+
 theme(legend.position=c(0.85,-0.7))

OR
  p+
     theme(plot.margin=unit(c(1,1,4,0.5),"cm")) +
     theme(legend.position=c(0.85,-0.7))

NOTE
Using Rstudio, when I export the image at certain width*height I don't get the legends, but if I drag and adjust the view before exporting as follows, it works.


Wind turbine parts and rotor blades stored at the harbor in Rostock, Germany.
Germany will remain the country with the most wind energy, followed by Spain and the UK, WindEurope report shows But Germany's share of the new installations will fall from 40% on average in the last five years to 24%.
Wind energy in Europe is on track for solid growth over the next five years, an energy report released on September 12 shows, warning, however, that policy uncertainty and lack of ambition in many countries mean clouds on the horizon.
According to WindEurope's 'Wind energy outlook in Europe' report released on September 12, wind energy capacity in Europe will grow at an average 17 GW a year up to 2022.
In 2019 the industry is set to mark a new record in annual installations. With 87 GW of wind due to be installed in the next five years Europe is set to reach 258 GW of installed capacity by 2022, the report shows. Most of the new installations will be onshore wind: 70.4 GW compared to 16.5 GW of new offshore wind.
Ever larger turbines will help drive this growth with 4 MW+ and 8 MW+ turbines now becoming the new norm in onshore and offshore wind respectively, according to the WindEurope report.
Alongside the new capacity additions the next five years will see the first serious decommissioning of Europe's first generation wind farms. By 2022, 22 GW of installed capacity will be more than 20 years old, the report shows, noting that some of these old turbines will be replaced on the same site by more powerful ones. But as things stand between 4.3 and 6.4 GW of existing wind farms would be fully decommissioned in the next five years.
"Wind energy is on track for solid further expansion in Europe over the next five years. But this growth comes mostly from yesterday's decisions," WindEurope CEO Giles Dickson said. "The outlook for new investment decisions over the next five years is less clear. Most Governments still haven't clarified their plans for new wind farms up to 2030. And partly because of this it's getting harder to secure permits for new wind farms," he added.
According to Dickson, there are some specific problems in different countries that need sorting out. "Germany messed up its first onshore wind auctions last year so will be build much less wind in the next year or two, leading to job losses. And France has a short-term problem around who can award permits, so there'll be a dip in growth there too," he said.
The WindEurope CEO highlighted the importance of the National Energy and Climate Plans for 2030." They'll define the volumes of new renewables countries want and how and when they propose to auction the new capacity. The NCAPs also require governments to articulate their plans for existing renewables that come to the end of their life between now and 2030. This is getting urgent. Between now and 2022, 22 GW of wind installed will be more than 20 years old. Some of these wind farms will be repowered with modern turbines. But as things stand it looks like between 4.3 and 6.4 GW will be decommissioned altogether," Dickson said.

How Combating Port Congestion Can Impact Global Supply Chains
As ports continue to grow their intake capacities, it is essential that they adopt leading-edge technologies that provide increased asset visibility.
Mark Stanton
PowerFleet
The world is in the midst of an ongoing crisis as the container shortage ensues. As a result, an increasing queue of vessels trying to dock and unload has created a holdup in the global supply chain and has an immense trickle-down effect on the end consumer. As the Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) Delta Variant strain continues to make its way across the United States, we're seeing an increase in vessel wait time at ports leading to immense inefficiencies and continued delays.
It is important that port managers prioritize gaining access to automation and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies that allow for real-time monitoring data on incoming and outgoing assets. As the pandemic ensues, operations managers need to be able to more effectively control for and plan for port overflows, as we risk increased congestion going into year's end.
Reducing congestion
When it comes to supply chain congestion, for fleets using telematics, over-the-road transport efficiencies have been maxed out due to regulations on speed limits, hours of service, weight limits, cold chain and even chain of custody for grocery and prescription items. As such, it's important that focus is placed on reducing port congestion as quickly as possible so port managers can get containers off the cargo ships faster and loaded onto chassis so they can expedite supply chain movement. Port managers can play a major role in breaking up supply chain congestion by increasing load and unload speeds and reducing dwell time.
IoT asset management
Monitoring the movement of assets like containers, chassis and trucks is critical for port management. With real-time visibility provided by IoT technology, port managers can easily determine asset location. This allows them to effectively manage port overflow by mitigating any impending backups at the port. For example, if the containers and chassis have tracking devices, fleet managers can coordinate with port managers to find parked assets, determine whether they are full or empty, and move the asset where needed in order to expedite the ongoing flow at ports. Especially when it comes to refrigerated containers, time is of the essence to ensure the cargo remains fresh. With digitized tracking and access to real-time information, managers are able to increase container utilization and reduce transit cycle times. What's more, with asset monitoring of cranes and forklifts, managers can also quickly determine which equipment may be underutilized and easily assign them to unload containers.
Virtual gating
Technology like virtual gating can help keep track of assets moving in and out of ports and in and out of facilities like warehouses or manufacturing sites. Virtual gating uses wireless technology such as BLE sensors and cellular-based telematics platforms use signal attenuation as well as geolocation. As a vehicle moves through the gate, the system devices recognize each other and use the direction of the vehicle to know if it's in or out of the gate. This information ensures there is accountability and port managers have a reference point on how long assets are taking to move in and out of the ports. Virtual gating is also used as a security measure to ensure there is no unauthorized movement of assets or that incorrect assets are not picked up accidentally. This takes some of the guesswork out of port management and helps managers to easily pinpoint issues in the cycle and eliminate them.
Ensuring safety
Factors such as low automation and environmental conditions at ports can lead to occupational health and safety risks and cause significant backups. In the last decade, we've seen an increase in shipping traffic, and as a result, port infrastructure has been modified to manage the influx. According to a study from Safety Science, in one port studied, the frequency index (injuries per hundred thousand hours worked) went from 13.0 to 29.7 over 16 years. And, one of the main risk factors revealed an increase of accidents due to transport vehicles. As such, safety and access control need to be a top priority at ports to ensure not only the safety of personnel but also reduce expensive damage to equipment, both of which can cause further delays. With access to image recognition technology incorporating artificial intelligence, assets like forklifts can determine whether pedestrians are in the path to avoid accidental injury and improve personnel safety.
Effective equipment handling
As ports have grown in size, they have also decreased the number of employees needed to run them thanks to automated control systems. However, according to the Safety Science study, there is an increase of young or low-experienced workers in handling containers, which can also lead to the risk for occupational injuries. With improved material handling technology, port supervisors are able to clearly determine who is approved to operate certain equipment. This technology can also alert supervisors if the equipment is meant for indoor or outdoor use specifically so there is no mix-up and severe equipment damage is avoided. By enabling more asset visibility, ports can benefit from increased productivity and safety performance.
Reducing port congestion has clear ripples throughout the supply chain. And, as ports continue to grow their intake capacities, it is essential that they adopt leading-edge technologies that provide increased asset visibility. This will ensure that loading and unloading are expedited in a secure manner to guarantee cargo quality while also enhancing safety.
