Statement from Derriford Hospital
Derriford Hospital has issued a statement to Plymouth Live explaining the incident.
A spokesperson said: "We want to reassure families of all patients and staff in the hospital today. We experienced a minor fault within a piece of mechanical ventilation equipment which resulted in a break-glass alarm this afternoon, affecting only the main concourse on level 6 of Derriford Hospital.
"Whilst the main concourse was closed, no inpatients or wards were affected. During the time the Fire Service were in attendance (approximately 45 minutes), no one was allowed to exit or enter the hospital through the main concourse but all other entry and exit points remained unaffected.
"The Fire Service dealt with the investigation promptly and after checks by our own Estates team, the main concourse was re-opened. There was no disruption caused to the hospital, no one was injured or required treatment and no damage has been caused. We would like to thank the Fire Service for such a swift and professional response."
"Good team working between our staff and theirs ensured the hospital continued to run as normally as possible," the spokesperson added.

Q: GIT utility to generate graph like this? I am working on an assignment, I need to generate the graph of my git repository like this with arrows

Is there any utility to generate graph like this? I know about gitg, gitk; But I need a utility through with I can generate a graph in the same format as the one shown in the picture?

A: An answer from inside SE could help here. It links to an alias, which is creating a dot file based on your git repository
Pretty much add:
[alias]
        graphviz = "!f() { echo 'digraph git {' ; git log --pretty='format:  %h -> { %p }' \"$@\" | sed 's/[0-9a-f][0-9a-f]*/\"&\"/g' ; echo '}'; }; f"

to your .git/config. After this, you can run it and create your diagram e.g. with
git graphviz HEAD~100..HEAD~60 | dotty /dev/stdin

(also token from the link wiki resource). If you just redirect output to a dot-file, you can manually compile the graph on your wishes with dot or maybe neato. Also you can adjust the alias a little for better formatting (color, shape...) of e.g. nodes.

TRIBUTES have been paid to the country singer George Hamilton IV who has passed away at the age of 77.
Born in North Carolina, Mr. Hamilton had first enjoyed success as a pop singer in the mid-1950s when he had a hit with A Rose and a Baby Ruth. During this period he toured with Buddy Holly and the Everly Brothers.
He turned to country music under the guidance of mentor Chet Atkins, the musician and producer, and by 1960 he was a member of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.
Early country hits included Before This Day Ends, To You and Yours (From Me and Mine) and If You Don't Know I Ain't Gonna Tell You. In 1963, he had his biggest hit with Abilene (see below). Another popular recording was Canadian Pacific in 1969 (see below).
Over the years, Mr. Hamilton performed extensively across the world — including being the first country singer to tour in the old USSR — earning him the title of country music's international ambassador.
In later years, he had turned more to gospel music, appearing regularly at rallies organised by the evangelist Billy Graham.
For a long period in the 1990s he filled the role of narrator in the hit musical Patsy Cline: The Musical, including when the production was staged in London's West End.
Mr. Hamilton continued performing right up until shortly before his death in Nashville from a heart attack.
He is survived by his wife Tinky and children Mary, Peyton and George V (see below).

Rising sun mark blue & white tea-set Japan:- This old tea set was left to me by my late mother she had in turn inherited it from my grandmother and grandfather who died in the mid seventies. My grandfather was involved in both WW1 and WW2 and in civilian life he was a paper importer in Hamburg then West Germany.
He was lets say pretty well off, and I remember as a child going on holiday to his country house in Holm-seppensen near Bucholtz where he owned a couple of square acres of the Black Forest.
I well remember the tranquility of the Black Forrest at night, I also remember the little red ants which gave you a nasty bite.
A little benefit that came from my Father being a British soldier in Germany was that when he and My mother married in a British Forces camp, the German Government was in the process of change from the Nazi regime to (I believe the German Democratic Republic or GDR)there was a period of 2 days when no government was in place in Germany so the marriage was never recognised by Germany.
This leaves me in the unenviable, enviable position of having a full British Passport in my Fathers name (Hunter), and being illegitimate in Germany but holding a full German Passport in my Mothers name (Jacobsen) this is handy when booking holidays on line as I can book single flights both ways always cheaper and I can take my duty free both ways.
Well, a lovely Japanese set - I especially like the woven handle of the teapot and the bold blue and white pattern.
The mark is not recognizable for me as it isn't shown in any of the books I have. I have no knowledge at all of Japanese markings, but even people who have studied this area are often bamboozled.
translation is something like "Japan Special Made" or "Nippon Tokusei". The characters underneath the sun on your mark are not shown exactly the same, but it appears the wares are from the same stable, which even Gotheborg is unsure of the origin of.
He says the wares often have a 'glassy' look and feel to them - something I can't tell from your photos.
At any rate, he is suggesting the wares with the rising sun mark as shown on his site are from the mid part of the 20th century, either immediately before or after the war. I don't know how this fits in with your timeline.
As with many Japanese wares, the markings are not particularly designed to identify the kiln in which the items were produced.
There are many obstacles getting in the way of the intrepid Westerner trying to gain insights into exact origin and meaning of a pottery mark.
The first is the Japanese writing. There are many different methods of writing the same thing, and many characters and words have dual meanings. The Japanese culture didn't develop a writing method, so appropriated the Chinese style of writing which over the centuries, diversified into various Japanese writing and reading methods.
The second problem is that, even when the writing on the bottom of a ceramic item is accurately interpreted (no mean feat even for a native of Japan), the resulting translation often gives no clue as to the origin - for example, all your fancy characters may end up saying is "Japan Special Made". This may not be the case (who can tell us?), but it would be typical in my experience, such is the obscuration of Japanese markings.
Your story is both well written and fascinating, and I very much enjoyed reading it. I wish more people had this skill of painting a picture of their items as it really lifts this website above all others online.
If you notice, one of the fascinations of the Antiques Roadshow, both on the BBC (UK) and PBS (US) is how the items came into the hands of the people involved. Same here.

The 2-0 defeat to Manchester City showed Arsenal need time to believe in their new style according to head coach Unai Emery.
Petr Cech has been at the Emirates Stadium for the last three years but he has received criticism from the Arsenal fans since 2017 and they thought that their new manager Unai Emery was going to drop the Czech Republican global but got surprised to see him start today's match.
"What do Manchester City do?"
But it took City just over 10 minutes to find the opener, and they were helped by more poor Arsenal defending.
Arsenal started well, pressing and harrying City, but Guardiola's men absorbed the early pressure and eased their way to ascendancy. This was where we left off last season: electric going forward, but capable of slowing the game down and dominating the ball when necessary.
Sterling received the ball on the left, skipped inside past some ineffective tackles from Hector Bellerin and Matteo Gendouzi before the England winger buried the ball past Cech's left for his 50th Premier League goal. I have played in finals when we were excellent and you lose, because the others are good teams as well. What are your thoughts about coming up against the likes of Firmino, Salah and Mané and how do you think you'll do to try and counter them?
The Gunners were far too structured and predictable, nearly robotic as they consistently played short passes out from the back at every opportunity.
However, City pushed back and grabbed a crucial second goal when Bernardo Silva latched onto a cut back before curling one into the top corner.
Arsenal next visit London rivals Chelsea in the league on Saturday. This wasn't their greatest ever performance, but the fact they were so comfortable against a side that would realistically be wanting to challenge them, is paramount of just how good this Manchester City team is. We are very happy.
Pep Guardiola said that. But the purchase of the deep-lying playmaker so important to him at Napoli may have that effect, with Kante pushed into a more attacking role.
Washington imposed financial sanctions on two Turkish ministers and warned of additional measures. Turkey's sovereign dollar-denominated bonds tumbled, with many issues trading at record lows.

"Success is counted sweetest" is a lyric poem by Emily Dickinson written in 1859 and published anonymously in 1864. The poem uses the images of a victorious army and one dying warrior to suggest that only one who has suffered defeat can understand success.

Text
<poem>
Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.

Not one of all the purple Host
Who took the Flag today
Can tell the definition
So clear of victory

As he defeated – dying –
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Burst agonized and clear!</poem>

Publication history
The poem was written in 1859 and first published anonymously in the Brooklyn Daily Union on April 27, 1864. It was republished in the anthology A Masque of Poets (1878) as part of a series of books published without writers' names. The book, edited by George Parsons Lathrop, was published by Roberts Brothers. Helen Hunt Jackson, who contributed her own writing to the book, urged Dickinson to contribute in a letter dated August 20, 1876. She then traveled to Amherst, Massachusetts to speak with Dickinson in person on the same topic on October 10. Dickinson initially resisted and asked Thomas Wentworth Higginson to say he disapproved of a contribution. Jackson insisted, nevertheless, and urged her friend to contribute a poem to give pleasure to "somebody somewhere whom you do not know." Jackson wrote again in April 1878 and suggested she send "Success is counted sweetest" as she already knew it by heart. It was published as "Success" in the book, though the publisher Thomas Niles admitted it "was slightly changed in phraseology."

Jackson wrote to Dickinson after the book's publication, "I suppose by this time you have seen the Masque of Poets. I hope you have not regretted giving me that choice bit of verse for it." Jackson published a review noting that "Success" was "undoubtedly one of the strongest and finest wrought things in the book", but offered that speculation on its authorship would be a wasted effort. Readers believed it was written by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Analysis

The poem's three unemotional quatrains are written in iambic trimeter with only line 5 in iambic tetrameter. Lines 1 and 3 (and others) end with extra syllables. The rhyme scheme is abcb. The poem's "success" theme is treated paradoxically: Only those who know defeat can truly appreciate success. Alliteration enhances the poem's lyricism. The first stanza is a complete observation and can stand alone. Stanzas two and three introduce military images (a captured flag, a victorious army, a dying warrior) and are dependent upon one another for complete understanding.

Harold Bloom indicates "Success" was one of Dickinson's earliest manuscript poems and one of only seven poems published during her lifetime. Its theme was one she returned to a number of times during her literary career, as in "Water, is taught by thirst." The poem, Bloom writes, is one of Dickinson's more "masculine" poems and "emphasizes the power of desire and equates desire with victory." From a Christian perspective, Bloom explains, the sounds bursting on the dying warrior's ear may be heavenly music as he passes to his eternal rest. Although Dickinson's poems are often read as poems of losing at romance, Bloom points out that the popularity of "Success" can be attributed to the fact that the poem's "message can be applied to any situation where there are winners and losers."

The only change I did to my system was mount a 9 TB fileshare using the cifs (samba) module before this problem started.
When I run the disk usage analyser "baobab", it reports on the disk without suggesting that any single directory under my home has grown overnight significantly - i.e the percentages don't go up significantly.
I am running  a private webserver on this machine and not running much else on this machine. There are no logs that are growing significantly overnight nor are there any processes that have much disk io as investigated by "htop" "top".
I tried to use "sudo iotop" but I dont know how to interpret its output.
Where is my disk space going. I am scared it is some indexer that is trying to index the 9TB fileshare that is holding on to some space since the problem started after I added the 9TB fileshare.
I am running Ubuntu 13.10 , 3.11.0-15-generic
How do I troubleshoot whats using all this space. I am scared its some indexer or some other background process.

A: If the disk space is always freed after reboot that most likely means that the space is used up by some unlinked files. Unlinked files are deleted = unlinked from the file system, but a process still keeps them open, so the disk space used up by such a file is not freed until the process releases the file. The process holding the unlinked file may also keep writing to the file and using up more and more disk space undetectable in the file system.
To view unlinked files and the process which holds them you can use lsof. Until a long time I always used some grep-ing on the lsof output to view the unlinked files, but a while ago I found this super answer on how to view unlinked files easily. You just have to use
lsof +L1

as this will list all open files which have link count less than 1, hence they are unlinked.
So use lsof +L1 and check if there are a lot of files or big files unlinked on your machine, you will also see which process holds them.

A: If you are in a situation where reboot isn't always freeing the spacing, I would reboot into rescue mode and use du as described above to get a feel for where the space is going. I tend to do "du -sc * | sort -n" as a quick-and-dirty way of doing this sort of investigation (dirty due to issues with hidden files, etc. as discussed above.) Start in the root and work down.
I would agree this is a very odd problem. Perhaps try selectively disabling services to see if you can get it to stop? As far as indexing goes, the only things running system-wide as standard that I can think of should be locate/mlocate. There's also apt-xapian which indexes packages, mandb which indexes man pages.
Are you logging in to this machine with a desktop session? If so, does the problem stop if you do log in (at least graphically)?

Cape Town's Coastal Properties Under Threat From Rising Sea Levels

If you're in the camp that thinks that climate change is a government conspiracy, maybe some real-world examples will bring you over to the side of logic.
Back in June, a former Australian defence chief and senior royal navy commander endorsed a terrifying scenario analysis of how human civilisation might fall apart in the next 30 years.
Apparently, the wheels are coming off around the year 2050.
If you've been paying attention, you might have noticed some of the signs that we're well on our way to meeting that deadline.
Sea levels are also on the rise and, according to GroundUp, causing damage to public and private coastal property in Cape Town.
The coast at Milnerton particularly is being affected by erosion, with the public beach under City of Cape Town jurisdiction already having been washed away by erosion and storm surges.
The City is currently assessing options which include retreat for a section of the coast in Milnerton, says Mayco Member for Spatial Planning and Environment, Marian Nieuwoudt.
Apart from Milnerton, other areas affected include Glencairn, Hout Bay, and Sea Point.
Sea level rise, and resultant increased damage from storm surges, is a global phenomenon. "A specific concern to the City is that public and private infrastructure will become increasingly at risk to coastal processes such as erosion, and beaches as public recreational spaces are likely to become increasingly at risk in developed areas of the metro in the long-term".
As weather patterns change due to global warming, ocean swell direction also altered. These slight changes in predominant wave direction could also cause erosion of beaches.
Nieuwoudt says that the only solution may be to retreat and allow nature to create a barrier to the ocean.
Nieuwoudt noted the importance of natural barriers such as dunes and wetlands, many of which have been compromised by development or the canalisation of estuaries. These needed to be restored as much as possible, and the City was seeing some success in the ongoing restoration of the natural sand dunes in Hout Bay, an ongoing project where R6 million had been spent so far.
The Coastal Management Programme (2015), noted that coastal erosion is occurring at "a number of points along the City's coastline as a direct result" of urban development.
The report gives an example: at the southern end of Table Bay the coast has been eroded by 35 metres over the last 45 years. Climate change is predicted to increase both the intensity and frequency of coastal storms, worsening the erosion problem and creating a long term risk to the city.
Global consensus at the time of the report suggested a mean sea level rise of 0.76m by 2100. Although this may seem small, it will cause "disproportionately large impacts on the damage that storms cause to the coastal zone".
In 2008, the sea level was estimated to rise at a rate of 2 centimetres every 10 years. Now it's estimated that the sea level will rise more than a metre in the next 80 years.
Things are changing quickly, but there's still a small window of opportunity to turn it around – take note of some of the suggestions made in Leo DiCaprio's latest climate change doccie.
In the meantime, you might not want to take that Sea Point promenade for granted.

The Fifty Shapes of Amazon Logistics
BlueGrace Logistics, Daily News, Freight Shipping Tips, Industry Knowledge, OTIF
Digital and physical are reaching a point of total convergence, something that would have been unheard of 20 years ago. Companies like WholeFoods and Amazon are changing up their logistics goals in a big way, something that is likely to ripple through other similar industries.
Amazon Tips its Hand to Logistics
It's unarguable at this point that Amazon has a knack for developing an in-house system and turning it into a massive profit generator down the road. We've seen it before with Amazon cloud computing when the company needed to boost its data handling capabilities. Now Amazon's cloud drive, known as Amazon Drive has become a for-profit service that is used around the world.
So what happens when the e-commerce giant turns its eye towards logistics?
Amazon Logistics
We've seen over the past few years that Amazon isn't content to wait for packages to be delivered at someone else's pace. With Amazon Prime, subscribers have grown accustomed to two-day delivery, a feat which has made smaller companies buckle under the weight of consumer expectation. Not content to rest on their laurels, however, Amazon is pushing the envelope again towards next or even same-day delivery. Banking on the fact that as more people realize they can get their items delivered even faster the more people will sign up for a Prime Subscription. And so far the gamble has paid off.
"Driven by Prime Free One-Day Delivery and Free Same-Day Delivery, it was another year in which Amazon was able to set shipping records. That was rewarded with a 4% surge in its stock. It now sports a market capitalization of $927 billion," says the MotleyFool.
"For the holiday period, the tech giant set records for the number of people who tried Prime. In one week alone, Amazon said five million new customers either began a Prime membership or started a trial. The number of items delivered via Prime Free One-Day and Prime Free Same-Day Delivery nearly quadrupled compared to a year ago," the Fool adds.
This year, Amazon's in-house logistics delivered more than 3.5 billion packages compared to FedEx's 6 billion. Which isn't terrible when you consider the fact that Amazon started as an internet book store. What's more, is 60 percent of Amazon customers opted to ship to an Amazon drop point to pick up the packages themselves, further pushing back FedEx, UPS, and the United States Postal Service.
It wants to control everything from shipping out of the warehouses to delivery to customers' porches.
"It wants to control everything from shipping out of the warehouses to delivery to customers' porches. That requires large upfront investments. In the second quarter of 2019 alone it spent $800 million to expand its one-day delivery for Prime Members. It's also investing $1.5 billion to develop an air hub in Kentucky that's slated to open in 2021 and will be home to fifty aircraft. Amazon announced its Delivery Service Partner program in May, enabling entrepreneurs to create delivery networks to handle last-mile deliveries for Amazon. The company is also investing tons of money into drone technology and, in June, debuted its Prime Air Drone design," reads the Fool.
Building their own in-house logistics network means less reliance on the now "competition" and giving their customers little reason to shop anywhere else. Amazon is also hedging a bet that by using its own logistics network, it can eventually cut down on the cost of packing and delivery.
The Convergence of Digital and Physical and the Reimagining of the "Store"
Amazon building its own logistics network is also changing the landscape for the traditional brick and mortar retailers. Within the past two years, we've seen the fall of some major retailers like Toys R' Us and Bon-Ton. These companies are among those that lacked the ability to grasp the importance of a digital presence and the shape of consumer expectations. As we enter into a new decade, many traditional retailers are beginning to change the way they do business, which might be the only thing that keeps them out of Amazon's massive shadow.
"Shopping malls and physical outlets may have seen their best days for foot traffic. However, they have been given a new "lease" on life as fulfillment locations. Retail giant Target Corp. uses virtually all of its 1,900 stores as fulfillment locations, and about 80% of its online orders are fulfilled through a store. The new decade will see an increasing convergence of digital and physical operations as brick-and-mortar locations are positioned as hubs closer to the customer and e-commerce sites direct more package delivery to retail outlets, ABI Research said in a late December study," reads an article from Yahoo! Finance.
As e-commerce takes an ever-larger share of total retail sales, the strategy and execution of delivery networks will become the axis of success.
"As e-commerce takes an ever-larger share of total retail sales, the strategy and execution of delivery networks will become the axis of success. Regardless of the industry, logistics will increasingly be the difference between an enterprise's success or failure," the article continues.
Even grocery stores are changing the way they serve their customers. 20 years ago, we never would have considered ordering our produce and perishables online, especially not for delivery, yet new startups like Misfits Market and Butcher's Box are doing just that. Virtually every major grocery store chain now offers some form of digital grocery shopping where customers can order their items and have them delivered to their car in the parking lot.
These are just some of the changes we've seen in the past few years, but some grocery stores are taking it to a whole new level.
A True Change of Pace for Whole Foods
Perhaps one of the biggest changes in the grocery scene is what we're seeing from Whole Foods. The organic food market was purchased by Amazon in August of 2017 and under the titan of commerce's influence has become a supplier for other retailers. How have they been doing so far and what does that mean for their logistics network? Download our White Paper about the subject and learn how you can establish processes and systems that are in line with supermarkets and retailers' requirements, such as On-Time and In-Full (OTIF) or Must Arrive By Date (MABD).
How Can SMBs Contend With Big Box Retailers?
3PL, BlueGrace Logistics, Freight Shipping Tips, Industry Knowledge
Small and mid-size businesses are finding themselves in a difficult position in today's market, courtesy of the Amazon effect. Consumers now expect free shipping and in most cases they expect it to be either two days, one-day, or even same-day delivery. That's all well and good when you have a massive financial engine to throw behind it (having your own in-house logistics and distribution network doesn't hurt either) but for smaller companies, that's not always an option. Instead, SMBs are left with the choice of eating exorbitant shipping fees to meet customer expectations or stick with standard delivery and risk losing their market share.
In 2020, SMBs are going to have to make some tough decisions on how they invest their shipping and logistics dollars,
Through 2019, this tension has been growing, complicated even more so by big-box retailers, Walmart in particular. In 2020, SMBs are going to have to make some tough decisions on how they invest their shipping and logistics dollars, when and where to invest in technology over team (or vice versa), and where they can go for reliable and affordable delivery options.
The Ever-Growing Logistics Challenge
SMBs are going to have their hands full when it comes to figuring out the best route to go for logistics, especially when trying to keep up with Big Box Influencers. Walmart has put a tight fist on logistics with its MABD and OTIF policies. In an effort to keep products on the shelves exactly where and when they need them, the retail superstore has begun punishing carriers who don't deliver everything they are supposed to, exactly when they're supposed to deliver it. Given that Walmart is an incredibly lucrative contract for carriers they will, of course, oblige. Ensuring that Walmart gets exactly what it needs.
SMBs don't typically have that sort of clout, however. So what options do they have available to them? Understanding that their customers expect a new level of service that would never have been considered as possible 20 years ago, SMBs will have to look at alternative logistics strategies to ensure that their customers are happy while keeping profit margins in the black.
Knowing where to Source Carriers
Knowing where to source carriers from is among the top challenges for SMBs. Sure, there's a UPS store down the street, but is that the most cost-effective means of shipping out goods? There's also a USPS in every town on the map, but will they get products there on time? These are just some of the questions that SMBs will have to be able to answer.
All of these questions and variables make it incredibly difficult for smaller companies to come up with a stable plan for their logistics.
There's also the matter of fluctuating shipping rates, and tightening capacity, which are subject to change with seemingly little or no notice. All of these questions and variables make it incredibly difficult for smaller companies to come up with a stable plan for their logistics. Most of them are resigned to the fact that they will have to increase their shipping and logistics budget and hope for the best.
Tech is another difficult consideration for SMBs. On the one hand, many companies realize that it's important to have the right technology solution in place. On the other hand, it can be expensive to the point of being cost-prohibitive. What technology should smaller companies invest in? What is going to help them the most to stay relevant and viable in today's market? These are questions that don't always have an easy or straightforward answer and that tends to make smaller companies more hesitant when deciding how to invest their logistics dollars.
Taking a Lesson from the Big Box
If Amazon and Walmart have taught us anything it's "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em." Amazon has taken several pages from their competitors' playbooks and made it work for their own operations and the same can be said for Walmart. Learn more about the supplier retailer relationship from our whitepaper here.
In addition to managing the relationship with shippers, it might also be time to involve the financial experts that are in your industry.
In addition to managing the relationship with shippers, it might also be time to involve the financial experts that are in your industry. Many businesses tend to compartmentalize their logistics and their C-Suite when ultimately, both have tools and skills that the other needs to not only survive but thrive. We've also got something to say about that as well.
Lastly, if you still have questions about how to compete with the big box stores or make your logistics dollars go further, let us know.

Amazon's Next Frontier: The Food and Grocery Business
BlueGrace Logistics, Daily News, Freight Shipping Tips, Industry Knowledge, Technology
Amazon has already proved its mettle in the e-commerce space and in the distribution sector. Earlier in the year the company also staked its claim in the digital freight brokerage industry. Now, it has set its sight on the grocery business.
Amazon's Grocery Connect
Unlike its other ventures, the retail giant's foray into the food and grocery business has not been profitable — at least not yet.
For the uninitiated, Amazon is not new to the food business. It has been operating in the food and grocery sector since it acquired Whole Foods in 2017; Amazon Go stores; and its fresh grocery delivery service. However, unlike its other ventures, the retail giant's foray into the food and grocery business has not been profitable — at least not yet. According to an article published in The Motley Fool, Amazon's CFO Brian Olsavsk speaks about the company's latest quarterly results saying, its sales from physical stores, which are principally Whole Foods revenue, were actually down by 1.3% from the previous year — "this is the only major segment of Amazon's net sales that didn't show any growth".
This has not dissuaded the company from making further investment in the food and grocery business though. Early last month, it announced its plans to launch a new brick and mortar food and grocery store brand. The first store will be opened Woodland Hills, California in 2020. This new business will be separate from its existing food and grocery business.
With this announcement, one can say with certainty that for next year, one of Amazon's major business goals will be to acquire a large slice of the global grocery and food retail market which is estimated to be worth USD 12.24 trillion by 2020.
What will be different in the new venture?
While Amazon has a presence in the food business, its reach has been limited. According to news reports, Amazon is aiming to reach a wider customer base. While Amazon's Whole Foods business caters to the high-end customer, the new stores will be designed to cater to mid and low-income households. The new stores are expected to enable Amazon to offer their customers a range of products more in line with other large retailers like Walmart, Costco, and Kroger.
In an article in Forbes retail expert Neil Stern, explores in-depth what the customer can expect from Amazon's yet to be named new grocery venture:
The new store will be omnichannel from the beginning
It will have ample space for in-store picking and holding facilities
The focus will be on mainstream products
It will be more price-competitive than the Whole Foods business
It may focus more on Amazon's private label
Will technology be a part of the new venture?
Anything that Amazon does is powered by technology.
Anything that Amazon does is powered by technology. So it goes without saying that technology will be a large part of the newly announced grocery venture as well. In his article, Neil shares that the new store might not be as tech-savvy as the facilities available at Amazon Go stores. Further adding that technology in the new store might not be immediately scalable.
Irrespective of the level of savviness, we can safely assume that technology will play an important role in the store, if not initially, then going forth.
Business opportunities.
Anyone associated with the business world knows, Amazon works on a large scale. The new grocery venture will sell a wide range of products. To run this operation efficiently and competitively, Amazon will need to source products from a variety of suppliers. And for this, the e-commerce behemoth will need to enlist a large number of suppliers.
While working with a large scale operator like Amazon has its perks, it also has stringent requirements. Organizations like Amazon expect high quality, regular supply of goods, and adherence to delivery timelines from their suppliers. Given the fact that the e-commerce giant is a technology-driven company, it will also look for tech-savviness in its business partners.
So, what are the qualities required to become a supplier for such a large scale venture?
You need to have a rigorous inventory management system, a strong forecasting technique, and a well-managed distribution center.
While the company will share what it would look for in a supplier, there are a few things that are usually expected from suppliers working with large scale multinational companies such as Amazon:
Quality products: There can be no compromise on this ever. The product, packaging, and delivery all have to follow a set standard. Any deviation from the standard can lead to losing the contract.
Technology: Technology is gradually taking over the retail space. Data transfer, reports, and invoicing are all done electronically, usually with the help of specialized software. Suppliers need to ensure that their organization is not only able to transfer required data in a systematic way electronically but is also connected internally through technology. This will help ensure both accuracy and speed in work and data exchange.
Strong supply chain: A robust supply chain with end-to-end visibility is an essential requirement to do business with large scale organizations such as Amazon. For this, you need to have a rigorous inventory management system, a strong forecasting technique, and a well-managed distribution center.
Reliable transporters: Another important factor in successfully servicing a large retail store chain is a reliable transporter/carrier with a well-connected network and a good track record of on-time delivery.

The food and grocery retail landscape is set to change with new technologies being adopted by the retail leaders. To cater to them and work alongside them, their suppliers will also have to deploy modern technology in their business.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) said on Saturday it was suspending its migrant rescues in the Mediterranean because it felt threatened by the Libyan coastguard and the Italian government's policies have made its job harder.
The aid group's decision is the latest development in mounting tensions between Rome and NGOs as migration dominates Italy's political agenda ahead of elections early next year.
"We are suspending our activities because now we feel that the threatening behaviour by the Libyan coastguard is very serious … we cannot put our colleagues in danger," the president of MSF's Italian arm Loris De Filippi told Reuters.
Almost 600,000 migrants have arrived in Italy over the past four years, the vast majority setting sail from lawless Libya in flimsy vessels operated by people smugglers. More than 13,000 migrants have died trying to make the crossing.
Charity boats have played a growing role in rescues, picking up more than a third of all migrants brought ashore so far this year against less than one percent in 2014.
However, Italy fears the groups are facilitating people smuggling and encouraging migrants to make the passage, and it has proposed a Code of Conduct governing how they operate.
Some groups, including MSF, have refused to sign the code.
They object to a requirement that Italian police officers be on their boats and that the boats must take migrants to a safe port themselves, rather than transferring them to other vessels to allow smaller boats to stay in the area for further rescues.
MSF operates one rescue ship in the Mediterranean, the Vox Prudence, currently docked in the Sicilian port of Catania.
In the last six weeks the number of migrant arrivals in Italy has slowed sharply and Rome has begun collaborating more closely with the Libyan coastguard, which De Filippi said was threatening the NGOs and preventing them from working.
He said the Libyan coastguard had demanded the NGOs should leave an area of hundreds of kilometres around its coast, whereas previously they had been allowed to conduct search and rescue operations as close as 11 nautical miles to the mainland.
"Last year the coastguard fired 13 shots on our boat and that was in a situation that was much calmer than the present one," said De Filippi.
He said MSF would continue its collaboration with another aid group, SOS Mediterranee, which operates a rescue ship in the Mediterranean with MSF doctors on board.
De Filippi said the Rome government's Code of Conduct for NGOs and its support for the Libyan coastguard showed it was now mixing the humanitarian goal of saving lives with "a political and military intention" of reducing arrivals.
A government spokesman was not immediately available to comment.
Last week Italy began a naval mission in Libyan waters to train and support its coastguard, despite opposition from factions in eastern Libya that oppose the U.N.-backed government based in Tripoli.
General Khalifa Haftar, a commander aligned with an Eastern-based parliament, told Italian daily Corriere della Sera on Saturday the presence of Italian military vessels in Libyan waters was unacceptable but he would not attack them.


Fungal pathogens are the main factors responsible for the most severe diseases affecting plants, leading to significant reduction in yield and crop quality and causing enormous economic losses worldwide. It is estimated that around 30% of the emerging diseases are caused by fungi (Giraud et al., 2010) thus requiring new strategies to improve their management. Biological control approach, frequently referred to the use of non-pathogenic microbial antagonists or products derived from their metabolism, represents a valid and promising alternative under a more ecological perspective to reduce the activities and to control populations of target pathogens (Singh, 2016). However, although the use of antagonists belonging to species different from that of the pathogen has been successfully reported, the use of competitors belonging to the same species of the pathogen is not widespread. A biocontrol strategy based on competition for space and nutrients and/or the induction of plant defenses against virulent pathogens performed by attenuated or avirulent pathogens (Ghorbanpour et al., 2018) could, therefore, be considered a valid alternative.
Veloso et al. (2015) reported the use of an avirulent isolate of Fusarium oxysporum to reduce Verticillium wilt severity in pepper, through competition and induction of the plant defense responses. A similar approach was described by Salazar et al. (2012) for the management of anthracnose in strawberries. The avirulent isolate F7 of Colletotrichum fragariae conferred full protection from the infection caused by C. acutatum and also enhanced plant resistance against Botrytis cinerea through the induction of plant defense responses. Similarly, the use of an attenuated Verticillium nigrescens isolate reduced cotton wilt caused by a virulent isolate of V. dahliae (Vagelas and Leontopoulos, 2015).
(Aimé et al., 2013) used an avirulent isolate of F. oxysporum to combat F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici to reduce Fusarium wilt by priming a Salicylic-dependant signaling defense on tomato plants. The use of an avirulent strain of Valsa mali var. mali reduced the infection rate of apple tree canker caused by the virulent strain LXS080601 from 97 to 41% (Zhang et al., 2014) on apple callus. In 1993 as regards the mycotoxigenic fungi, Cotty and Bayman (1993) suggested the use of a non-aflatoxigenic isolate of Aspergillus flavus to control the development of aflatoxigenic strains in maize kernels by competitive exclusion and this strategy today is commercially applied in several countries (Ojiambo et al., 2018).
However, the selection of suitable isolates to be used as potential antagonists from the local fungal community often takes (long) time for identification and screening. Selection within a great number of isolates based on morphological, physiological and genetic features is usually required, followed by an in vivo screening against the pathogen on a real disease scenario. An interesting alternative to easily and quickly obtain new genotypes able to act as biocontrol agents, could be the induction of genetic mutations in the virulent genotypes, providing new avirulent strains that can compete directly with the virulent ones or induce plant defense responses (Ghorbanpour et al., 2018). The application of genetic transformation techniques to silencing genes putatively involved in pathogenicity has been widely used to uncoil the role of these genes in the establishment and development of the infection processes (Johnson et al., 2018). However, the disruption of a gene function usually involves the integration in the genome of foreign DNA sequences used as reporter genes in order to select transformants, leading to the generation of antibiotic-resistant or fluorescent strains. These genetic modifications represent a major constraint for their use in field.
The arrival of the CRISPR-Cas9 (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats – CRISPR Associated protein 9) genome-editing technique enabled researchers to modify genomic sequences in a more precise way (Knott and Doudna, 2018). CRISPR-Cas9 Type II system uses two principal components for gene targeting and cleavage: the RNA guide (sgRNA) and the Cas9 endonuclease. The sgRNA consists of a simple chimeric strand of RNA, which leads Cas9 up to the localization in the genome of the target gene, whose expression has to be blocked. Cas9 is able to bind the DNA and to produce a double strand break (DSB) in the target gene. The DSB then induces the activation of one of the DNA cellular reparation systems, the Non-Homologous End-Joining (NHEJ) system, that can re-join the ends of the DSB without introducing errors or, unlikely, giving rise to insertions or deletions of nucleotides during the repair. These InDels led to changes in the gene reading frame producing non-sense sequences or causing the appearance of premature stop codons, thus blocking the transcription of the target gene (Bono et al., 2015). In most cases the application of the technique in filamentous fungi consisted of a proof of concept of its feasibility (see Table 1). The system has the advantage that once implemented in the organism, it is possible to change the target gene by changing the sgRNA spacer sequence, as well as silencing several genes simultaneously by transforming the cell with different sgRNAs along with Cas9 (Hsu et al., 2015). Nevertheless, the most interesting advantage is that it allows to perform marker-free deletions by using transient expression plasmids that can self-replicate only under antibiotic pressure (Katayama et al., 2015, Nødvig et al., 2015; Schuster et al., 2016; Zhang et al., 2016; Liu et al., 2017; Wenderoth et al., 2017; Weyda et al., 2017; Wang et al., 2018). The use of CRISPR-Cas not only provides a time-saving path to perform genomic functional analyses, but also could provide new fungal genotypes, that can be used as potential competitors of plant pathogens and/or in the priming of plant defense responses.
Table 1. Application of CRISPR-Cas9 for gene-silencing in filamentous fungi.
Another contribution of CRISPR-Cas9 is the production of well-known antagonists with enhanced biocontrol aptitudes achieved through genome-editing (Vicente Muñoz et al., 2017). For example, species belonging to genus Trichoderma have been considered outstanding biocontrol agents able to reduce the disease severity (Sarrocco et al., 2013), not only by constraining the growth of the phytopathogens (Sarrocco et al., 2009), even killing them, but also by eliciting the plant defense responses (Fiorini et al., 2016; Sarrocco et al., 2017). One of the mechanisms through which these fungi can antagonize phytopathogenic fungi is the release of a wide arsenal of cell-wall degrading enzymes and secondary metabolites such as antibiotics, among others (Khalid, 2017).
Genetic engineering of the metabolic pathways that trigger the biosynthesis of secreted proteins and secondary compounds could provide new fungal strains with enhanced biocontrol activity. Previous studies reported that it is possible to achieve the same effect through the silencing of negative regulatory elements, signal-transduction components or genes belonging to contiguous metabolic networks, thus, redirecting metabolite flow and biosynthesis or supressing the feedback inhibition by which its production could be regulated (Bailey, 1991). For example, Δtvk1 mutants of T. virens displayed enhanced biocontrol activity against R. solani, in addition to an increased expression of mycoparasitism-related genes and overproduction of lytic enzymes (Mendoza-Mendoza et al., 2003). Likewise, four knockout mutants in SSCPs (small secreted cysteine rich proteins)-encoding genes of T. virens showed greater ability to induce ISR (Induced Systemic Resistance) on corn against Cochliobolus heterostrophus than the wild type (Lamdan et al., 2015). Another example of biocontrol enhanced ability was described by Reithner et al. (2005) in T. atroviride, in which the Δtga1 mutants exhibited an overproduction of antifungal secondary metabolites. Similarly, the Δtmk1 mutants of T. atroviride showed overproduction of 6-pentyl-pyrone and peptaibols, resulting in an enhanced antifungal activity and increased protection of bean plants against Rhizoctonia solani (Reithner et al., 2007). On the other hand, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites is often carried out by clustered genes whose expression could be induced by environmental conditions. However, in many cases these clusters are silent and their activation cannot be achieved (Osbourn, 2010). Bok et al. (2009) demonstrated that the silencing of a transcription factor involved in the methylation of lysine 4 of the histone H3 in Aspergillus nidulans activated the expression of cryptic clusters and yielded novel secondary metabolites. The silencing of ace1 gene induces the up-regulation of four polyketide biosynthetic gene clusters in T. atroviride, leading to an increase in the production of antibiotics and other secondary metabolites that clearly enhanced its potential as biocontrol agent against F. oxysporum and R. solani (Fang and Chen, 2018). Following this approach, it is possible to induce the activation of unknown clusters in beneficial fungi by using CRISPR-Cas9, allowing the discovery of new secondary metabolites that could interact with plants or phytopathogens. This could result in new interesting biocontrol strains to be released in field avoiding the introduction of transgenes in the environment.
The availability of novel or the improvement of known techniques that are safer for people and the environment is of outmost importance to guarantee food safety and security especially in those countries where famine is still an important issue (Vurro et al., 2010). A novel technique that allows the production of precise knock-out mutants without the insertion of foreign DNA in a saprotrophic/pathogenic fungus opens new possibilities of controlling plant pathogens. The use of such edited fungal strains needs a correct strategy to minimize possible risks. The major risk related to the release of a mutant strain is the rise, in the field, of novel combinations of pathogenesis/fitness related genes following the sexual or parasexual cycle. The genetic background of an edited isolate and its wild type is exactly the same, except for the edited gene, thus novel combinations of genes are not conceivable. Anyway, to further reduce such possibility, we can imagine a strategy of deployment that includes 1) the gene edit of the most prevalent genotype of the pathogen/saprotroph in the release area; 2) the editing of more than one gene in the same metabolic pathway and 3) the editing also of the idiomorphs and /or the HET genes, to make sexual or parasexual recombination (including the re-gain of virulence) even less likely.
Anyway, the application of novel techniques and the release of new products need, as usual, to be evaluated for their safety and to be accepted by populations. A recent sentence of the Court of Justice of the EU stated that edited organisms, even if they do not contain alien DNA, have to be subjected to the rules set up for Genetically Modified Organisms. This is not the place to discuss this issue, but it is high time, in EU at least, to reconsider the whole GMO legislation.

Not so elementary, my dear Watson
REISCHAUER INSTITUTE SEEKS PAPERS
Symposium studies Doyle's various contributions to literature
By Peter Reuell HCL Communications
For more than a century, Sherlock Holmes, the most famous creation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, has captivated mystery fans, literary scholars, and researchers of virtually every stripe. But, as dozens of Doyle scholars and Sherlockians showed during a recent three-day symposium at Harvard, the Holmes stories represent only a small part of Doyle's contribution to literature.
To mark the 150th anniversary of Doyle's birth, dozens of scholars from around the world gathered at Houghton Library May 7-9 for the symposium, titled "Sir Arthur Conan Doyle: A Sesquicentennial Assessment," which featured speakers including Andrew Lycett, Dan Posnansky, Leslie Klinger, and Giles Constable, as well as the screening of several Sherlock Holmes films, presented by the Harvard Film Archive.
The three-day event was complemented by an exhibition of Doyle material, "'Ever Westward'": Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and American Culture," which includes rare books, manuscripts, and ephemera from Houghton's collections, including the H.W. Bell/Speckled Band of Boston Collection and the Baker Street Irregulars archive, which was recently given to the library, and private collections. The exhibition will be on display in the Edison and Newman Room in Houghton Library through Aug. 8.
"Many people have tried to answer the question as to why Sherlock Holmes has endured," said Dan Posnansky, member of the Baker Street Irregulars (a prominent Sherlockian society) and co-curator of the Houghton exhibit. "I think it's a matter of Holmes, the man … and most of all the time he lived in, Victorian England."
Though Doyle is most widely known as the creator of Sherlock Holmes, the portrait that symposium participants rendered ran far beyond detective fiction. Doyle was voraciously curious, a meticulous researcher who often spent months studying history before putting pen to paper, an innovator in genres such as science fiction and fantasy, and an author quick to heap praise on the writers he felt inspired his greatest creations.
"Doyle never missed an opportunity to praise Edgar Allen Poe," said Daniel Stashower, a member of the Baker Street Irregulars and author of "Teller of Tales: The Life of Arthur Conan Doyle" (Henry Holt, 1999) and five mystery novels. "Doyle referred to him as the 'supreme short story writer of our time.'"
Doyle's high praise, Stashower suggested, illustrates the degree to which Doyle believed he owed Poe a literary debt. With his "Dupin" stories, such as "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," Poe created an early template for the detective story, which Doyle would later build on: the brilliant detective, the story narrated by the sleuth's close friend, and the mystery's solution resulting from a leap of deductive reasoning.
While Doyle may have drawn inspiration from Poe in his creation of Holmes, in the century since the detective's first appearance, many more — including many prominent scholars — have since turned to the resident of 221b Baker St. for inspiration. A medieval history professor emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J., and author of more than 20 books, Giles Constable told attendees that echoes of Holmesian deduction can be traced through virtually every academic pursuit, including history, game theory, psychology, and art history.
"I would not suggest to a young historian," said Constable, "that they take Holmes' principles as their primary guide when they conduct their research, but they could do much worse than to keep them in mind."
The four Sherlock Holmes novels and 56 short stories represent barely more than 10 percent of Doyle's total writings, said Thomas J. Francis, a Baker Street Irregulars member who discussed Doyle's other writings.
Though they made him rich and famous, the Holmes stories were not among Doyle's favorites. He reserved his greatest affection for his historical novels, particularly "The White Company." The novel remains in print today, and was so popular during World War II that, despite a paper shortage, the British government set aside paper to ensure a sufficient supply for the book's printing, Francis said.
Doyle also wrote extensively on sport, including several well-received novels on boxing, as well as novels and short stories on French history. He also wrote eight books on spiritualism and several volumes of poetry.
But perhaps Doyle's greatest influence, aside from detective fiction, Francis suggested, came in the genre of science fiction. Following extensive research on fossils and science, Doyle authored "The Lost World," a novel detailing an expedition to a plateau in Venezuela where dinosaurs and other extinct creatures still survive.
"The science fiction and fantasy work of Conan Doyle has had a profound impact on the genre, right up until today," Francis said, citing the very first film adaptation of the book, in 1925, which introduced the stop-motion animation technique.
Andrew Lycett, author of "Conan Doyle: The Man Who Created Sherlock Holmes," addressed Doyle's biographers and described a handful of sources he used in researching his acclaimed biography, including Doyle's personal notebooks.
"Conan Doyle always tried to bring a measure of scientific inquiry to whatever he was interested in, whether it was the nature of tuberculosis or paranormal phenomena," Lycett said. "But like his main creation — Sherlock Holmes — Conan Doyle remains a fascinating enigma; that's why we find him such a fascinating character [and] so eminently worthy of discussion 150 years after his birth."
While it's clear that Doyle and Holmes have had a rich history, many symposium participants were also eager to learn what the future may hold — a new Sherlock Holmes film, starring Robert Downey Jr., is slated for release later this year, and shades of Holmes can be found throughout modern popular culture.
"I think it will be a great reawakening of public interest; I think it will be the beginning of another wave of interest, just as we saw in the '70s with "The Seven-Per-Cent Solution," said Leslie Klinger, editor of "The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes." "I think this will bring the books back into focus."

Within this context, we are discussing both combat and civilian aspects. Regarding the combat aspect, we introduce the beginning of deep modernization project of Yak-130 aircraft: we expand its combat capabilities making this aircraft not just a combat trainer, but more combat aircraft. We are in a position to customize its enhanced combat capabilities to meet expectations of our customers in the Middle East, taking into account specific combat missions to solve in this region. Yak-130 is good for training pilots for further combat aircraft of fourth and fifth generations, and we will continue to improve its training functions».
«Regarding the civilian aspects we are particularly considering possibilities of new variants of cooperation for MC-21 production. This is a mass serial production airplane, and international cooperation could increase its planned production rates from 70 to 120 airplanes per year, and it would also enhance its competitiveness», - explained Yury Slyusar.
The head of UAC took part in the official meetings and negotiation program of the national delegation, also accompanied the UAE leaders on their tour through the Russian exposition.
During the business days, the UAC delegation led by Mr Slyusar held sessions on the CR929 wide-body aircraft program with potential suppliers of aircraft engines from the world's leading manufacturers - General Electric and Rolls-Royce. These negotiations followed similar meetings held earlier by the Chinese partners of the joint project.
Discussions with Mubadala Investment Company proved fruitful with many areas identified for potential collaboration. Various areas of cooperation, including possible industrial ones were discussed with leadership of Alsalam company in the framework of join marketing efforts to supply civil aircraft to the Middle East.
One of the program's key events was the meeting with UAC main Indian partner Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. Industrial cooperation activities on the Ilyushin IL-114 program was among the numerous agenda points. Russian part continued negotiation the Be-200 promotion with the Egyptian colleagues and its certificate validation in Egypt. Other negotiations also were held during the air show.
The Yak-130 combat trainer showed its high maneuverability during the flight display every day in the sky of Dubai. The aircraft crew consisted of the test pilot Vasily Sevastyanov and the test navigator Sergey Kudryashov, they performed advanced aerobatic figures such as Barrel roll, Humpty-Bump, inside loop, spins and others.
The Corporation represented models of modern Russian aircraft MC-21, Superjet 100, Su-30SME, Yak-130, MiG-35, Su-35, Su-57E, Be-200, Be-103, Il-78MK-90A, Il-76MD-90A, Il-112 and Il-114-300 on the corporate stand No. 770. UAC also offered to the guest of the exhibition a new multimedia fullscreen product-line presentation with the innovative reality graphics.
Dubai Airshow is one of the largest international aviation and space exhibitions, in 2019 it was be held for the 16th time. The exhibition was visited by a significant number of specialists not only from the Middle East, but also from Africa and the Asia-Pacific region.
United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) will take part in the TEKNOFEST ISTANBUL Aerospace and Technology Festival, that to be held on Sept. 17-22 at the Atatürk Airport.

A short snippet of our time in Bali, hopefully, it can convey the feeling of our time at the Retreat.
However, in the end, you have to feel it yourself, feel and explore the magic of prioritizing yourself and gifting yourself with a Retreat and the 'me time' that comes with it.


Next postWhat makes me curious?
Congratulations on your award. I can't help but think that your school leaders are some of the keys to success of your programs. What other keys do you think there are? I wonder if these will get a mention in the Curtin research?


Michael Matthews will not make his debut at the Tour de France due to injuries sustained as a result of a training crash on Tuesday in Monaco. The Australian will be replaced by Canadian Christian Meier in Orica-GreenEdge's line-up.
Matthews, who wore the pink jersey and won a stage at the Giro d'Italia, fell while training in Monaco before leaving to join his team in Leeds.
On Thursday night, 'Bling' clearly looked uncomfortable when he walked onto the stage with his team at the presentation. He was wrapped in bandages and showed six stitches on his left hand when he waved to the crowd.
The team confirmed in a press conference on Friday afternoon that he was unfit to start.
Meier's inclusion means that Orica still fields five Tour de France rookies including English neo-pro Simon Yates. Simon Gerrans, who won a stage last year and wore the yellow jersey, also makes up the roster.
Matthews' crash could not have come at a worse time. On Wednesday, the team revealed that South African Daryl Impey tested positive for diuretic Probenecid and would not be starting the Tour.
Matthews told the team's management that he crashed on his last training ride before leaving Monaco.
"I was coming down a hill and a car had rolled and the main road was blocked off, so they sent me down this little side road with all rocks all over near the trees," Matthews said.
Matthews, the 2010 Under 23 World Champion, won two stages in the Vuelta a España last year, one in the Giro d'Italia this year and hoped to keep going in the Tour this month.
Orica held a team press conference at 14:30 this afternoon and announced that Matthews will not race. The team flew Meier from North America to Leeds to fill Matthews' shoes.

In de representatietheorie is een young-tableau een grafische voorstelling die gebruikt wordt bij de representatie van een symmetrische groep. Ze worden ook toegepast in de combinatoriek en algebraïsche meetkunde. Young-tableaus zijn
genoemd naar de Britse wiskundige Alfred Young, die ze in 1900 introduceerde,

Definities

Young-diagram

Een young-diagram (ook Ferrersdiagram genoemd) is een eindige verzameling van vakjes of cellen, gerangschikt in rijen die links zijn uitgelijnd, op een zodanige wijze dat het aantal vakjes in een rij nooit kleiner is dat het aantal vakjes in de rij eronder. Het aantal vakjes in de rijen is met andere woorden een niet-stijgende rij.

De opsomming van het aantal vakjes in elke rij bepaalt de vorm van het diagram en vormt een partitie van de verzameling  met  het totaal aantal vakjes in het diagram. Elke rij in het diagram stelt een deelverzameling van de partitie voor.

Een young-diagram wordt traditioneel aangeduid met een Griekse letter  de partitie met  het young-diagram hiernaast dus met

Een young-diagram kan gespiegeld worden omheen de hoofddiagonaal, waarbij rijen en kolommen worden omgewisseld. Men krijgt dan een nieuw young-diagram, het geconjugeerde diagram. Bijvoorbeeld een diagram met vorm [4,3,3,2] wordt omgezet in het geconjugeerde diagram met vorm [4,4,3,1]. Het geconjugeerde diagram van het hiernaast afgebeelde diagram heeft als vorm [3,2,2,2,1].

Young-diagrammen kan men opvullen. Een opvulling van een diagram is een diagram waarin elk vakje gevuld is met een positief geheel getal (of meer algemeen: met een element uit een verzameling waarop een totale orde is gedefinieerd. Voor de eenvoud gebruikt men doorgaans de positieve gehele getallen 1, 2, 3, ...).

Nota: de hier gebruikte voorstelling van young-diagrammen noemt men de "Engelse" notatie. Er bestaat ook een "Franse notatie", waarin het diagram ondersteboven wordt getekend, met de langste rij onderaan. Dit artikel gebruikt de traditionele Engelse notatie.

Young-tableau

Een young-tableau is een opvulling van een young-diagram die aan bepaalde voorwaarden voldoet. Men maakt een onderscheid tussen een semistandaard young-tableau en een standaard young-tableau.

Een semistandaard young-tableau voldoet aan de volgende voorwaarden:
 in elke rij vormen de getallen een niet-dalende rij (elk getal is kleiner dan of gelijk aan het getal rechts ervan)
 in elke kolom vormen de getallen een strikt stijgende rij (elk getal is kleiner dan het getal eronder, als dat bestaat).

Een standaard young-tableau voldoet aan de voorwaarden:
 in elke rij en in elke kolom vormen de getallen een strikt stijgende rij
 alle getallen in het tableau zijn verschillend.

In een standaard young-tableau met  vakjes staan dus de eerste  positieve gehele getallen. In een semistandaard young-tableau kunnen er minder dan  verschillende getallen staan (maar minstens het aantal rijen in het diagram). Het geconjugeerde tableau van een standaard young-tableau is ook standaard.

Scheef young-diagram en young-tableau

Een scheef young-diagram (Engels: skew) krijgt men als men uit een young-diagram  een ander, kleiner young-diagram  in de linkerbovenhoek wegneemt. Het resterende scheve diagram,  is de verschilverzameling van de vakjes die behoren tot  maar niet tot .

Scheve young-tableaus definieert men dan op dezelfde wijze als hierboven: semistandaard als de opeenvolgende getallen in een rij niet-dalend zijn en in een kolom strikt stijgend; standaard als ze zowel in rijen als kolommen strikt stijgend zijn en alle getallen van 1 tot het aantal vakjes in het tableau eenmaal erin voorkomen.

Voor een scheef young-diagram volstaat het niet het aantal vakjes in elke rij op te sommen om de vorm van het diagram te kennen; men moet ook de vorm van het weggelaten diagram kennen. Het diagram hiernaast wordt daarom genoteerd als [5,4,2,2]/[2,1].

Aantallen young-tableaus
Een semistandaard young-tableau kan men aanduiden met  waarin  de partitie is, bijvoorbeeld [5,4,2,2],  het totaal aantal vakjes en  het maximaal aantal getallen in het tableau.  is ten minste gelijk aan het aantal rijen in het tableau en ten hoogste gelijk aan  Het aantal verschillende manieren om zo een semistandaard young-tableau maken met de getallen  bepaalt men als volgt:

 Bepaal voor elk vakje in het tableau de "hoeklengte" (Engels: hook length), dit is het aantal vakjes rechts van het vakje in dezelfde rij, plus het aantal vakjes onder het vakje in dezelfde kolom, plus 1. Vermenigvuldig de hoeklengtes van alle vakjes.
 Schrijf in elk vakje in het tableau het getal  waarin  het volgnummer van de rij is en  het volgnummer van de kolom; de nummering begint linksboven bij nul. Vermenigvuldig al deze getallen.
 Deel het product uit stap 2 door het product uit stap 1. Dit is het aantal mogelijke semistandaard young-tableaus.

Voorbeeld: bepaal het aantal semistandaard young-tableaus ([2,1], 3, 3), dus van de vorm

[ ][ ]
[ ]

1. de hoeklengten zijn:
[3][1]
[1]
2. de getallen  zijn:
[3][4]

3. het aantal is dus: (3.4.2)/(3.1.1) = 8. Er zijn inderdaad acht verschillende geldige opvullingen mogelijk:
[1][1]  [1][1]  [1][2]  [1][2]  [1][3]  [1][3]  [2][2]  [2][3]
[2]     [3]     [2]     [3]     [2]     [3]     [3]     [3]
Dit is de verzameling SSYT([2,1], 3, 2). De standaard young-tableaus van de vorm [2,1] vormen daar een deelverzameling van, namelijk:
[1][2]  [1][3]
[3]     [2]

Naast deze twee zijn er nog twee andere standaard young-tableaus met drie vakjes:
[1]  en  [1][2][3]
[2]
[3]

Het aantal standaard young-tableaus met  vakjes wordt gegeven door de reeks:

1, 1, 2, 4, 10, 26, 76, 232, 764, 2620, 9496, ... ().

Tralie van Young
De Tralie van Young is een partieel geordende verzameling en een tralie die bestaat uit alle gehele partities. Ze bevat alle young-diagrammen met 0,1, 2, 3, ... vakjes en kan voorgesteld worden in een hasse-diagram:

De rijen in dit diagram geven alle mogelijke partities aan van verzamelingen met  elementen. Het aantal diagrammen (partities) op elke rij is de waarde van de partitiefunctie

De verbindingen geven aan welke young-diagrammen kunnen bekomen worden door één vakje aan een young-diagram toe te voegen of er één vakje uit weg te nemen.

Een young-diagram met  vakjes kan op de volgende manieren uitgebreid worden naar een diagram met  vakjes:
 voeg een vakje toe aan de bovenste lijn
 voeg een vakje toe aan een lijn die korter is dan de lijn erboven
 voeg onderaan een nieuwe lijn toe met één vakje.

Een young-diagram met  vakjes kan op de volgende manieren verkleind worden naar een diagram met  vakjes:
 verwijder het meest rechtse vakje in de onderste lijn (als er slechts één vakje in die lijn staat verdwijnt ze uit het diagram)
 verwijder het meest rechtse vakje in een lijn die langer is dan de lijn eronder.
