That's how every conversation starts with our guest Susanna Frazier, Head of Strategic Sourcing at Universal Music Group, Founder of SourcersWhoCode, and HR tech advisor. Our show was no exception. From our favourite emoji to the story of how Susanna ended up in Thailand, it was a show catching up with old friends and drilling into some new definitions on the difference between recruiting and sourcing in today's talent landscape.
As an engineering and business major, Susanna brings a different approach to sourcing. Her hackathon wins are a reflection of that. Her first sourcing hackathon opened her eyes.
Obviously, her competitive nature never hurt her sourcing outcomes, either. "Sourcing is more a bounty hunter in terms of targeted searching for passive candidates and hard to find, niche fills," says Susanna. In her world, recruiters handle more of the relationship with the hiring manager and internal phone screens. Meanwhile, she does the part she loves: discovery.
Susanna was a self taught sourcer coming from the world of recruiting. She realised the impact of knowing how to find the people in the first place. "I had a lot of sales training when I was a recruiter but I didn't know how to find people effectively. It was all about hitting my numbers. I didn't feel like that was the best way to manage my desk, so I self-educated on sourcing." Her advice to sourcers looking to get an edge?


In Professional BoatBuilder No. 135, the article "Wood to Glass" previews the making of a virtual exhibit of boats, designers, and builders significant during the years 1940–70, when wood as the preferred hull and deck material gave way to fiberglass. Readers are asked to contribute stories and photos to the virtual exhibit, which eventually will become a physical exhibit traveling between our partner institutions: Mystic Seaport, Mariners Museum, and the MIT Museum.
Brian Slater, member of the Hamburg Cove Yacht Club in Old Lyme, Connecticut, wrote to tell us of his acquisition of a 22' (6.7m) Marscot bass boat.
"I only bought the boat in August  and then travelled so this year she has been more of an ornament in the water than anything, and is now in store awaiting some minor winter work.
"I have managed to pull together the paper trail of ownership, with a couple of spaces. Her first owner was Charles F. Chapman, he of the boating bible. In the bill of sale from him to the next owner she is marked as a 1953 Marscot 22' Utility Boat. The paper trail has her changing size (23'), year of build (1952), builder yard (Palmer Scott), and type of boat (bass boat), but I think C.F. Chapman probably would have been accurate. She has been well looked after, the last owner doing a major restoration job a few years ago, so I have minor fixes. To the extent we can determine she still has the original Chris-Craft Model K engine, refurbished somewhere back.


36 years ago in Cinisi, Peppino Impastato was killed by the mafia. The young left-winged activist by means of his radio station "Radio Aut", had dared to attack the power and the interests of "Cosa Nostra".
Peppino Impastato was born in Cinisi in a mafia-related family, his future had already been traced. Peppino instead refused this destiny and broke with his family when he was still a young boy.
Peppino Impastato spoke, revealed names, spoke out against mafia affairs and denounced their complicity with politicians. It was this that condemned him.
The 9th of May 1978 Peppino Impastato was killed by an expolsion. The police archived the case as an accident or a suicide, but his friends never accepted this thesis.
In 2002, after 23 years of legal battles, the historic local mafia boss Tano Badalamenti was sentenced to life prison for this omicide.
"I Cento Passi" (The One-Hundred Steps), film released in 2000, directed by Marco Tullio Giordana tells the story of Peppino Impastato. One hundred was the numer of steps it took to get from the Impastato house to the house of the mafia boss Tano Badalamenti.
The multi-awarded film (David di Donatello Award 2001, Brussel Film Festival 2001, Venice Film Festival 2000), has given notoriety to Peppino's story: "Una vita contro la mafia" ("A life against mafia").
Each year in this date, many events take place in Cinisi to celebrate the memory of Peppino Impastato. An entire week of debates, conferences and working groups culminating in a march departing from the Radio Aut station to the Memorial Home of Peppino.
There are no photos with those IDs or post 6927 does not have any attached images!
Thank you, Maria Lina, for bringing me to see his house and the one I Cento Passi. I admire this Peppino Impastato tremendously.

Q: UPI payments response on web I am trying to integrate UPI payments in an app and website. Everything works fine when I form the url (an example below) and launch an Intent on Android.
upi://pay?pa=abc@xyz&pn=ABC

I get the response in the calling Android app using onActivityResult but I am not sure how do we get the response if we launch the PSP app (Google Pay or BHIM) from a website on the phone.
Any pointers in how can I get the response or if there is a way to specify a callback url?

A: The NPCI UPI Linking Specification states that the URL parameter used in the payment link is for information purpose which the payment apps may use to provide additional information to the payer upon clicking the link.
The link is only expected to show transaction details by the merchant or party that invoked the transaction.
It is not meant as a callback URL or a web hook for completion of transaction and cannot be used to get transaction response.

We particularly appreciated Dave's excellent assistance with Skype and our AV. Everything went so smoothly. John was proactive and on top of all our needs, and it was a pleasure to work with him. Liza helped with our room block and making a few last-minute substitutions, etc. The continuity of service is remarkable, and we believe that the high customer service standards, along with the familiarity with the inn's clients, are a significant factor in the hotel's success.

Congratulations to Josh Ricketts and Adam Wright who made up half of the Ridgeway School Intermediate Boys 200m Freestyle Relay team that took part at the ESSA Championships at the London Aquatic Centre on Saturday 21st November.
The Ridgeway School were one of thirty schools who qualified to compete in the Intermediate Boys' 200m Freestyle event, and with a regional qualifying time of 1.54.99 the Ridgeway team entered the national final in 21st position. A great performance from all four of the boys saw them knock a whole 3 seconds of off their regional event time and they finished 16th overall with a time of 1.51.99.
This was a fantastic opportunity for the boys to compete in the London 2012 Olympic Venue and our thanks go to the staff at Ridgeway School for giving up their time to make it possible.

The recent events arising in connection with the competition for the 2015 FIM MotoGP world title have had a damaging effect on the staging of our competitions and poisoned the atmosphere around the sport. We are moving away from the tradition of pride in sportsmanship that is part of the heritage of motorcycling.
Everyone has the right to express his or her own ideas. But words and actions always have consequences. Every individual has to take responsibility for those consequences. The riders, first of all, must be aware of this. Each one of them has thousands of fans who follow their exploits on the track and listen to what they say off the track. For that reason, we look to them, not just in this Championship but in all our disciplines, to set the best example of what our sport should and aspires to be.
This responsibility is also shared by the people who form their entourage, beginning with their teams and sponsors. Whatever the rights and wrongs of the matter, if some of those people unnecessarily fuel polemics about events or decisions in a wrongheaded way, they are doing a great disservice to the sport, to the detriment of our entire community and all the good things it offers to everyone.
Riders, teams, manufacturers and sponsors should not only respect the rules but they should accept the decisions of the officials, whatever they may be. Otherwise, they are contributing to anarchy and undermining the future development of our sport.
On behalf of the FIM and all those who are doing their best to bring about a happy conclusion to this Championship, I express the hope that at the next and final round in Valencia the riders will fight it out on the track and in a way that fully respects the spirit of fair play.
The long road to recovery: endless doctor appointments, scans, tests, and readjusting life to allow for as much recovery as quickly as possible. With a head injury, the recovery time varies and it is near impossible to predict how long you will be unfit to ride. I spent days and days inside a hyperbaric chamber to increase the oxygen flow in my body and speed up recovery.
MARKHAM, ON (Oct. 15, 2015) – Honda is pleased to announce its 2016 CBR lineup, with the aggressive new styling of the CBR500R leading the way. Almost 25 years after the introduction of the CBR900RR, Honda's modern sport bikes have always placed performance hand in hand with reliability.
"Since the introduction of both of the CBR500 and CBR300 models, we've seen a continuous increase in their popularity. The updated 2016 CBR500R is a striking new take on the larger of the two models. Both draw from the successful racing DNA of the CBR family but in entry level packages that have large appeal," said Derek Verheyen, National Sales Manager, Motorcycle Division.
With all-new styling that offers a sharper, more aggressive look and refinements like LED headlights and taillights, the new CBR500RA adds great curb appeal to legendary performance and reliability. Other updates include a new muffler design, an adjustable front brake lever, optimized gear change feel, a hinged fuel cap on a larger fuel tank and better suspension. For increased security, the CBR500RA now uses a wave ignition key. The inline twin 500cc engine offers accessible power output that smoothly revs up to redline, while emphasizing low to mid-range torque for real world usability.
Long heralded for its excellent handling and stellar realworld performance, Honda's legendary CBR100RR is back for 2016 with a 999cc liquid-cooled, inline four-cylinder engine, assisted slipper clutch and twin-spar aluminum chassis. It's offered in standard and ABS configurations. The SP version with stand-out premium features for track-day enthusiasts, including fully adjustable Öhlins suspension, Brembo front brakes, Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SC tires, a special lightweight subframe and solo seat cowl.
Returning to Honda's 2016 lineup in a new Black/Ross White colour is the versatile CBR600RR, comprising an impressive package of handling, power, compact size and overall performance. Whether customers are looking to tear up the track, carve through the canyons, or commute to work, this versatile middleweight sport bike can handle it all. The popular and race-proven CBR600RR is available with Honda's revolutionary Combined Anti-Lock Braking System (C-ABS), offering added confidence under less-than-ideal conditions.
Value-oriented riders desiring sporty but user-friendly performance will be pleased with the return of Honda's popular CBR300RA, the smallest-displacement model in Honda's sport bike lineup. Known for being an incredible value, the CBR300R impresses with enough versatility that it also appeals to experienced riders. A single-cylinder engine with counterbalance shaft and a wide powerband combines with a narrow cross section to provide a light, nimble motorcycle that boasts excellent fuel economy. Customers can opt for either the ABS or non-ABS version.
Yamaha introduces more affordable S version of the R1!
Cypress, CA - @AIMExpo • @YamahaMotorCA - The 2015 YZF-R1 took the litre-class sportbike world, and the world's racetracks, by storm, winning accolades and trophies around the globe. For 2016, Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A., has upped the ante, giving sportbike riders a third R1 model from which to choose.
The 2016 YZF-R1S offers yet another level of perfomance specifically geared towards budget-conscious sportbike enthusiasts who do most of their riding on the street. Yamaha engineers replaced some of the R1's higher-spec components like the titanium connecting rods and exhaust headers, magnesium oil pan and wheels, and softer-compound tires with lower-cost components. The result is a litre-class sport bike with a slightly higher curb weight that sacrifices virtually none of its real-world R1 performance-including the legendary "Crossplane Crankshaft Concept" engine; titanium muffler; six-axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU); electronic traction, slide, lift, and launch controls, and ABS--and delivers it all at a lower suggested retail price.
The 2016 R1S will be available in Matte Gray and Intensity White/Raven/Rapid Red, and will retail for $16,699, a full $2,300 (CAD) less than the base R1! Availability in Canadian dealerships is expected beginning in February.
This is the time of year supermoto clubs in Canada bid farewell to 2015 and start planning for 2016. We reflect on some of the best times of the season and those standout moments. Supermoto is about the people and not just the cool bikes/quads.
Canadian teenager Ortt almost wins KTM RC 390 Cup World Championship!
Alberta teenager Braeden Ortt, who finished third overall in the MotoAmerica KTM RC Cup, came within .008 seconds of claiming the title in the KTM RC Cup World Championship held at Britain's Silverstone Circuit October 2-4. Featuring 24 riders from 10 different nations, the event would crown a champion based on finishes in two eight-lap races around the 3.7 km course.
Following morning qualifying, Ortt, still struggling with the effects of a broken hand suffered during practice for the final MotoAmerica RC Cup event in New Jersey, found himself starting Saturday's race from 16th place on the grid. A well-executed race saw the 15 year old finish in third place, less than half a second behind the race winner.
Starting from 14th place on the grid on Sunday, Ortt and his North America teammate Hayden Shultz took turns leading the race, with Ortt in the lead coming into the last corner where he was overtaken by eventual race winner and 2015 KTM RC Cup World Champion Dijm Ulrich. Ortt's second place finish, just .008 seconds behind the winner (only .866 of a second separated the top ten finishers), combined with his third place Saturday finish gave him third overall in the KTM RC Cup finale.
With his third place overall finish in the 2015 KTM RC Cup World Finals, Braeden will receive a KTM RC 390 for the 2016 race season.
More information on the KTM RC Cup World Finals can be found online at http://www.ktmrccup.com/int/rc-world-cup-final/, while race fans can keep up to date with Braeden at http://www.braedenorttracing.com.
In a recent Touring Essentials blog we looked at some pointers for being able to enjoy riding in the rain. One point was to ensure you have a good rain suit to wear over your gear or rain liners to put on inside your gear. This isn't always necessary.
Bushell Park, SK — September 16, 2015 — With the last round of the Canadian Motorcycle Association (CMA) National Mini Roadracing Series now complete, Finn Motorsports riders Jonathan & Matthew Finn have again demonstrated their abilities and consistency to battle for the podium throughout the 2015 racing season.
For the 2015 season, Jonathan's goals were to continue to develop his riding abilities on his bikes while maintain a consistent presence on the podium. His "smooth" riding style, as described by many of his competitors, helped to push his capabilities as a rider. Jonathan amassed 24 podiums including 14 race wins in 4 different championships across western Canada. This consistency helped Jonathan earn 4 championships including a CMA national championship, Western Canadian Mini Roadracing Championship and a runner-up in the inaugural Honda Canada Grom Prix series. With his sights clearly set on his future, Jonathan looks forward to his goal of competing internationally.
The Finn Motorsports Team competes in multiple championships throughout western Canada including the Canadian Motorcycle Association's National Mini Roadracing Championship, the Western Canadian Mini-Roadracing Championship and the Alberta Mini Roadracing Association Provincial Championship.
The team competes with support from Canadian Tire Moose Jaw, Honda Canada, Arai Helmet Americas, Lucas Oil, JT Sprockets, BigB Racing, Bickle Racing, DeCal Works, Gatorade Canada, Cruisers Collision & Custom, Impact Safe-T Armor, Motonation Canada, Sidi, LifeProof, Meidl Honda, Vixen Hair Studio, Motosport, Luzi Racing, Janman Leathers, SPY, RePlay XD and Inside Motorcycles Magazine.
As fans dealt with the blistering heat during the Flat Track Canada round at the Paris Fair, they were witness to a great rider who is riding a hot streak. After taking most of the summer off, Steve Beattie followed up his win in London a few weeks ago with a victory on Flat Track Canada's shortest track. Not only did the win at the fair make it two in a row for Beattie this year, it is also the third year in a row that Beattie has won the main event at the fair.
When the green light flashed to start the final, fans knew they were in for a treat as the trio of Beattie, Doug Lawrence and Tyler Seguin hit turn one virtually side by side. For anybody who thought current points leader Lawrence might play it safe, those thoughts were quickly dashed after he "moved" Beattie out of the way in turn three early on to take the lead. This lead was brief however as just one straightaway later Beattie returned the favour in turn one. The next few laps were a spectacle of talent and trust as the three riders up front took turns jockeying for position. When the checkered finally waved it was Beattie riding one wheel across the line just ahead of Lawrence, with Seguin in third.
While Seguin was unable to grab victory in the Open race, he did have a lonely ride to first in the DTX Expert class. Rookie Expert Braden Vallee inherited second place after Nick Wenzler went down and Brandon Seguin rounded out the top three.
With Intermediate ace Brodie Buchan moving up to Expert after the Paris race, he made sure his final Open Intermediate final was a memorable one. After a couple of tries at running the race were nullified by red flags, London winner Cody Marentette found himself in the lead. While Marentette was enjoying life up front, Buchan was slowly closing the gap like a hunter stalking his prey. With one lap to go Buchan made his move, leaving Marentette virtually no time to strike back. Buchan crossed the line first to take the win, with Marentette second and Alex Olsen having a great ride and grabbing third.
Having a great day in Novice action was the number 69 machine ridden by Bruce Martin. After starting in the back, Martin made steady progress to the front and took the win in Open action after Dustin Brown went down in turn one. Martin was also able to grab a second place in DTX action behind Brown while newcomer Brian Zapp rounded out the final podium position.
Fans were given a treat early on in the afternoon when the final in the 85cc class was run. Much like the Open Expert final, there were three and sometimes even four riders fighting for the lead. When it was all said and done it was Mack "Wooden Wheels" Willms taking the victory with Boyd Deadman and Jimmy McCullough rounding out the top three. McCullough was involved in the closest finish of the day which took place in the 250 Novice class. With Hunter Bauer out front, McCullough slowly chipped away at the lead which led to a frantic last lap between the young speedsters. When the checkers flew it was Bauer grabbing the win at the line in a virtual photo finish at the line over McCullough with Willms taking third.
ATV Open action proved to be a wild race that included a get together of a few machines in turn two of the opening lap. After spinning out a couple of times early in the day in practice, Darcy Ryksen proved he had figured out the new track surface and took home the win. Peter Grison and Ben Shoalts weren't far behind and finished second and third respectively.
With the completion of the Paris short track, this leaves one more race on the National series which will take place September 19th in Wheatley.

Finding high growth stocks that stay high growth for years is often the most rewarding target for professional investors. Since 2015, the Wall Street Transcript has been publishing interviews with top rated research analysts and highly experienced portfolio managers as they show the love for one of these stocks, Illumina, Inc. (NASDAQ:ILMN).
Nancy Prial, CFA, is the Co-Chief Executive Officer and Senior Portfolio Manager at Essex Investment Management Company. She is the portfolio manager for the micro, small and smid growth strategies. Earlier, she worked at Burridge Growth Partners as the Chief Investment Officer and Senior Vice President responsible for the smid and small-cap growth strategies. In an exclusive interview in the Wall Street Transcript on July 15, 2015, Ms. Prial called it for Illumina.
"Ms. Prial: We have owned Illumina (NASDAQ:ILMN) for a long time. We originally bought Illumina in the early 2000s in our small-cap portfolio. It was roughly a $250 million market-cap stock when we originally bought it in that portfolio. We no longer own it in that portfolio. We added it into our small/midcap portfolio when it crossed over $500 million market cap, and that is where we still own it.
At the time that we purchased Illumina, the company was not the company it is today. But people did not understand the power of their technology and what was possible for this upstart little company — and they were a very little company in those days — to gain market share, and to grow against who was the primary competitor and leader at that time, Affymetrix (NASDAQ:AFFX). What we saw was the power of their product. We liked the fact that they were a very small company because the math for the growth was easier. We saw a path where this company can consistently grow 40% to 50% a year for really as far as we could project forward, and we did not believe that was discounted in the price of the stock. "
In March of 2016, in an exclusive interview with the Wall Street Transcript, Bryan Brokmeier, CFA, a Senior Equity Research Analyst in life science tools and diagnostics at Cantor Fitzgerald also singled out Illumina as a stock to buy. Prior to joining Cantor Fitzgerald, Mr. Brokmeier was a Senior Health Care Analyst at Maxim Group, where he covered the life science tools and diagnostics sector. In 2014, Mr. Brokmeier was ranked the number three stock picker in the life science tools and services category by Thomson Reuters StarMine.
"Illumina has recently introduced new oncology panels that will increasingly compete with Thermo Fisher and is an area with a lot of growth. A lot of the initiatives that Illumina has been taking on should drive growth within the oncology market, which for them has already been growing over the last couple of years around 30% each quarter. We can start to see acceleration as they get these panels on the market and form new partnerships with additional biopharma companies as well as the academic market.
Liquid biopsies are one particular area where Illumina has been investing and recently announced an acceleration of that investment through the formation of its subsidiary, GRAIL. GRAIL seeks to accelerate the development of a cancer screening test using circulating tumor DNA. While there are many companies investing in liquid biopsies, including Trovagene, in the near term, these other companies are focused on developing tests for the noninvasive monitoring of oncogene mutation status, disease progression and disease recurrence, and are many years away from developing screening tests."
On November 3, 2017, in an exclusive interview with the Wall Street Transcript, David Westenberg, CFA, a Senior Vice President and Senior Equity Analyst at C.L. King & Associates, repeated the ILMN recommendation. Mr. Westenberg joined C.L.King in January 2016 with seven-plus years of investment industry experience, most recently at Canaccord Genuity, where he was an Equity Research Associate covering 20 companies in the animal health and diagnostics industries.
His take on Illumina?
"When you are looking at Illumina, it has 80% to 90% market share, but its market backdrop is outstanding, and genomics itself is a multi-decade megatrend. Sequencing right now is growing at 15%-plus, and it is almost impossible to rip out an Illumina instrument once it has been placed into a laboratory, particularly on the clinical side because the reality is that somebody has to revalidate an instrument. In this particular market, you rarely get companies like this at a very good price. And investors know that, which means it's multiple I think is safer relative to its peers. Maybe two to three years down the line, the entire market pulls back and the stock is at the same price, but you just buy more. You'll be happy you've followed the story during that pullback."

You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep.

President at Allegra Princeton. We're a full-service marketing and print communications company.
I'd like to share with you a way to develop your team that will not only help them but help you. There are few things as satisfying as seeing a team member move through the levels of development -- dependent to independent to interdependent. I've found the best way to help them is to make sure I use the right approach at each milestone.
But is it training, consulting or coaching that's needed? Here are the definitions, as I've learned them, along with an analogy to help communicate each to you.
A trainer has all the information and is responsible for giving that information to the team member.
Today, no doubt, you drive your car with ease and confidence. Remember a time before you had that skill. You needed training first. You read a book, took some lessons. The trainer had all the information and you were brand new to the skill of driving. You were in the dependent stage, when everyone said, "Just sit there until I tell you what to do." That was prudent guidance. Who knows what you were capable of at that time. Everyone seems to know a teenager who drove into a house or garage door. Yikes!
The consultant has all the answers and the responsibility to identify problems and offer solutions.
Let's revisit when you started to drive. Maybe you stopped short or approached a corner too fast, or maybe jerky starts were your specialty. Your driving instructor or a lucky parent was your consultant, pointing out the problem with your driving and (hopefully) offering solutions to make you a better driver. Here, you are in the independent stage -- able to drive on your own but still reporting to your parents on where you are going and when you will return.
Okay, this is where you have everything you need to succeed and the coach is there to support your success.
Remember the first time your parents (nonsarcastically) said, "Nice parking job!" to you? That was coaching -- reinforcing good performance and encouraging you to keep up the good work. You made it! You are now in the interdependent stage. You can not only drive on your own but others can depend on your help. Maybe you drove a sibling to a friends house or you made a pizza run for the family. Whatever it was, your family (team) is better for it. Nice work, you!
Okay, so how do you know what level your team member is at today? How do you determine if you should train, consult or coach? Here are some things to watch for: Do they have sporadic success? Do they get results but good results are not as predictable? If you can't count on results, they need training or consulting.
The next step is to test the training. Ask them to show you how to properly complete the task. This will go one of two ways. They will either convince you they know the proper steps or they will fumble and jump around to try to give you the answer they think you want. If they fumble, they need training. If they convince you they know what to do during this step, they need consulting.
Ask them where they have inconsistent results and where they struggle. Then offer your experience to help them identify and solve the problem.
Here's another example to help you internalize this idea. Sorry if it hits too close to home. I admit I am stuck here -- I know, but I don't act consistently. Based on general information about a healthy lifestyle, how many glasses of water should you drink each day? How many minutes of exercise should you get? And how many servings of fruits and vegetables should you eat? If you don't know, training is the answer.
I am confident we all know those answers. But here's where it gets harder. How many glasses of water did you drink yesterday? How many minutes of exercise did you get yesterday? How many fruits and vegetables did you eat yesterday? My answers: not enough, none, pizza's a vegetable, right? If you didn't get the water, exercise or veggies you needed yesterday, then consulting can help.
For example, if you didn't get enough water, a consultant can help you discover why. What's the problem? Don't like the taste? Did you forget? Do you lack easy access? Once the problem is identified, a solution can be offered. Add cucumber slices, set a reminder, bring it with you -- all are viable options.
Are you a reader who ran 10 miles to work while keeping hydrated and eating baby carrots all the way? Well, good for you! You rock! Keep it up! Coaching you is a pleasure.
Next Steps: Observe your team and give them what they need, when they need it. Train on poor results, consult on inconsistent results and coach toward even better results.

Q: Airflow 1.10.10 installation with Pipenv Has anyone had trouble installing apache-airflow 1.10.10 with pipenv? When I try to install it using a pipenv install I had the following error:
There are incompatible versions in the resolved dependencies:
  marshmallow<3.0.0,>=2.18.0 (from flask-appbuilder==2.3.4->apache-airflow==1.10.10->-r /var/folders/rl/p0x650cn1lx6f7syttzvh2hh0000gn/T/pipenvykrgd_0krequirements/pipenv-lwhwxrq7-constraints.txt (line 2))
  marshmallow>=2.0.0 (from marshmallow-enum==1.5.1->flask-appbuilder==2.3.4->apache-airflow==1.10.10->-r /var/folders/rl/p0x650cn1lx6f7syttzvh2hh0000gn/T/pipenvykrgd_0krequirements/pipenv-lwhwxrq7-constraints.txt (line 2))
  marshmallow>=3.0.0 (from marshmallow-sqlalchemy==0.24.0->flask-appbuilder==2.3.4->apache-airflow==1.10.10->-r /var/folders/rl/p0x650cn1lx6f7syttzvh2hh0000gn/T/pipenvykrgd_0krequirements/pipenv-lwhwxrq7-constraints.txt (line 2))

From what I understand, the sub-dependencies of Airflow requires marshmallow package with conflicting version: marshmallow<3.0.0 and marshmallow>=3.0.0. What I don't understand is that it used to work. Is that normal that Airflow dependencies conflicts with itself? I don't have the issue when doing a pip install apache-airflow==1.10.10 on a virtualenv without Pipenv.
Any insights? Thanks

A: I had the same issue installing apache-airflow 1.10.11 through pipenv. The conflicting dependency appears to be with flask-appbuilder's subdependencies. Pinning marshmallow-sqlalchemy = "==0.16.1" solved the problem for me.
Pipfile:
...
[packages]
marshmallow-sqlalchemy = "==0.16.1"
apache-airflow = "==1.10.11"
...

I also successfully tested it with apache-airflow 1.10.10 & 1.10.12.

Tele-TalkFresh takes, in-depth analysis and opinions from our esteemed panel of industry leaders
Faisal Kawoosa - Faisal Kawoosa is Founder & Partner at TechArc.
Budget interventions should drive affordability in smartphones extending access to Digital India
"With regards to smartphones, the biggest challenge that we have in the country today is of affordability. We have 200+ million users whom we have not been able to get on to a digital journey even when there are more than 300 million smartphone users who are already with their 3rd upgrade of a smartphone. While for the industry this has two implications – no potential expansion of the smartphone base and wiping or weakening business for brands who are focussing on the affordable segments," says Kawoosa.
S. P. Kochhar - S. P. Kochhar is the Director-General of Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI).
Budget 2023: Reformative tax regime quintessential for driving telecom sector growth
"In terms of regulatory levies, we have requested that the USO contribution of 5% of AGR may be suspended till the existing USO corpus (with an unused surplus of INR 64774 crore as of 31.10.2022) is exhausted, and License Fee may be brought down from 3% to 1% to cover only administrative costs. Further, it would be beneficial if the definition of Gross Revenue (GR) makes it abundantly clear that the revenue from activities believed to be incidental to telecom activity are not part of GR," says Kochhar.
Naveen Aggarwal - Naveen Aggarwal is Partner, Tax, KPMG in India.
Budget 2023: Dawn of a new era in telecom
"The sector continues to get plagued with litigation and contesting them is a drain on the resources of all stakeholders. A case in point is TDS on the discount on Recharge Vouchers to the distributors wherein the aggrieved Telecom companies argue that TDS under section 194H @ 5% is not warranted since the transaction is on a principal-to-principal basis and not principal to agent. A 5% TDS has a crippling effect on the margins of the distributors. In my view, the issue could possibly be resolved by reducing the TDS rate from 5% to 1%," says Aggarwal.
P Balaji - P Balaji is the Chief Regulatory and Corporate Affairs Officer, Vodafone Idea, and Chairman of ASSOCHAM National Digital Communications Council.
5G: A game changer for India
"Enabling policies like the PLI, Gati Shakti, Saral Sanchar, RoW Amendments, National Broadband Mission among others, laid down the path for future growth. Further, the growing number of Mobile Device manufacturing plants, large volume of exports of mobiles, and support for the Open RAN initiative point to India's growing role in the global telecom supply chain," says Balaji.
2022 proves to be a landmark year as 5G clocks in
"As the country witnessed that landmark launch of 5G services by none other than the Hon'ble Prime Minister, at the India Mobile Congress, we entered into the next era of technological advancement and progress. And that being in several sectors for a plethora of utilities and applications – whether manufacturing, agriculture, healthcare, education, logistics, smart cities, or more effective use of new-age technologies like AI, IoT, M2M, drones, big data analytics, etc," says Kochhar.
Aniket Dani - Aniket Dani is a Director at CRISIL Research.
Higher tariffs, ARPUs ring in better times for telcos
"The roots of the improvement lie in the twin tariff hikes effected by the players in the past three years — of 50-60% in December 2019 and a further 20-25% in November 2021. Additionally, to help the industry address the structural and liquidity challenges, the government had offered a relief package, which included a moratorium on dues on adjusted gross revenue and spectrum payment," Dani says.
Mahesh Uppal - Mahesh Uppal is Director, ComFirst (India).
Draft Telecom Bill: Challenges of ignoring global experience
"Worryingly, the telcos support the unorthodox measures in the Draft Bill and see the increased scope of licensing levelling the playing field between them and OTTs. The point to the high regulatory burden since telcos, unlike OTTs, must acquire licenses, obtain spectrum through auctions, and share revenues with the government. Telcos claim OTT players, e.g., WhatsApp and Zoom compete unfairly with their telephony and messaging. Same with satellite players and others, if they are allocated spectrum without auctions," Uppal says.
KG Purushothaman - Purushothaman KG is Partner and Head, Digital Solutions & Telecommunications Industry Leader, KPMG in India.
A step towards a better future: Draft Telecommunication Bill, 2022
The draft Bill prepared offers better clarity and explanation to terminologies and provisions that are akin to the advancements in technologies and clarify certain ambiguities that were cause of legal disputes in the past few years. With the evolution of technology and with the advent of 5G services in India, the new bill has the potential to augment the initiatives of the government for ease of doing business.
OTT players must pay network usage charge, contribute towards AGR
Most OTT platforms are owned and operated by huge foreign entities and they collect and store Indian Subscriber data in foreign shores, using it for filling the coffers of the platform owners and increasing the GDP of that country, but do not directly contribute to the Indian Economy or Telecom growth. Had AGR been applied here, colossal amounts would have accrued to the Indian exchequer.
Telecom operators mustn't shy away from device bundling anymore
"There is a limit to the extent that the smartphone industry can work towards affordability of 5G smartphones. We have seen in 4G that we couldn't convert all 2G users to 4G and same will happen if we do not collaborate now," opines Kawoosa.
The draft Telecommunication Bill needs a comprehensive review
"The Bill's proposals are significantly more burdensome than in mature regulatory regimes. They include the US, Australia, Canada, the UK, and the 27 members of the European Union (EU) -countries that the Bill's authors claim to have "examined in detail"," says Uppal.
Madhav Sheth - Madhav Sheth is CEO, Realme India, VP, Realme and President, Realme International Business Group.
How can a 5G-enabled IoT ecosystem be revolutionary in India?
According to industry experts, the Indian digital economy has the potential to reach USD 1 trillion by the year 2025 with 5G being the key catalyst that will fuel this growth. Leveraging dense networks of small cells, 5G, the newest generation wireless technology now portends to open new doors towards a 5G-enabled IoT ecosystem that will pave way for newer growth engines for the Indian economy.
Key priorities for the telecom sector post 5G spectrum auctions
"In the history of auctions in India, except for 2014 and 2015, in all other auctions, the outflows were at approximately the reserve price which also indicates the acceptance of the operators to bid at base and optimize the outcome."
5G: Data boom looms across verticals
"Given that telecom operators typically roll out consumer services first, the initial focus is expected to be on individuals, through fiscal 2024. Thereafter, however, the focus will shift to enterprise solutions, which is a more lucrative segment."
Jaijit Bhattacharya - Jaijit Bhattacharya is president, Centre for Digital Economy Policy Research (C-Dep).
Atmanirbhar India needs to nurture its infra-tech progress in optical fibre
"India manufactures 100 million fibre Km every year, which is capable of relaying the entire existing submarine fibre optic roughly a 100 times over every year. In comparison to our manufacturing capacity, the domestic annual consumption of fibre optic is less than half of our manufacturing capacity at 46 million fibre Km (FKM). 16 million FKM of Optical fibre has been exported annually to more than 100 countries in the last three years."
Why enterprises should be given 5G spectrum?
"The other advantage of opening up 5G spectrum to the enterprises is it will fatten the investment pool to spur 5G growth in India, at a time while operators are already finding it difficult to raise the requisite money."
Kunal Chaudhary - Tax Partner, EY India
India a new destination for telecom equipment manufacturing; what more can be done?
India is seeing tremendous growth in domestic manufacturing with the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes introduced for 13 sunrise sectors.
