What is the importance of flight?
Aviation provides the only rapid worldwide transportation network, which makes it essential for global business. It generates economic growth, creates jobs, and facilitates international trade and tourism.
How difficult is pilot school?
The flight school will be challenging if the student pilot does not put effort during their ground schooling. Furthermore, the early stage of a pilot's flight training is pretty straightforward. It will get more laborious as you progress into advanced flying procedures and maneuvers.
What can fly without wings?
The answer to the "what flies without wings" riddle is "time".
What information do you need for a flight?
Input each traveler's personal information, including full name, date of birth, email address and phone number when booking a flight. You'll need to indicate whether any traveler is under 18 years of age or is a newborn or infant being held in a lap.
What is a sentence for flight?
"He booked a round-trip flight to Europe." "The outbound flight was delayed by bad weather." "She took a commercial flight to Chicago." "The regular flight was cancelled."
What are the flight details?
Flight Details, also known as Flight Service or In-Flight Services, returns scheduled flight information, including origin, destination, departure time, arrival time, flight time, travel time, meals, and additional information.
What is the syllabus of pilot?
Diploma in Commercial Pilot Licence Syllabus
2 Performance of Multi-Engine Aeroplanes
(D) Flight Planning and Monitoring-Aeroplanes
1 Flight Plans for Cross Country Flights
2 ICAO ATC Flight Plan
What exam should we write for pilot?
IGRUA CPL
What objects can fly?
Many things can fly, from animal aviators such as birds, bats and insects, to natural gliders/parachuters such as patagial animals, anemochorous seeds and ballistospores, to human inventions like aircraft (airplanes, helicopters, airships, balloons, etc.) and rockets which may propel spacecraft and spaceplanes.
Is PCB difficult?
PCB is quite easy once you understand the subject. If you try parrot reading you are definitely screwed. You may find CBSE class eleven biology syllabus a bit tough because there is a lot of botany, lot's of names and processes to remember. You need to learn your diagrams well as they can help you score marks.

Cyanogen layoffs hit hard, a new charge on apps expected
by Jules WangJuly 24, 2016 12:58 pm
Cyanogenmod is well and alive, but Cyanogen, the company, seems to be in a struggle.
The company behind the more polished version of the Android ROM has laid off about 30 of its 136 employees, most of them working on quality assurance, systems and community support in the open source division. The smaller offices in Lisbon and India have been heavily reduced. Sources to Android Police say they aren't sure if more labor cuts are on the way.
While Cyanogen OS has made its way toward a few releases with partner manufacturers in Eurasian markets, its spread has been slow.
A "pivot" toward "apps" could be in the cards related to Cyanogen's MOD initiative, but that's speculative. Whatever pivot it may be, Recode is reporting that it is likely being led by COO Lior Tal, who joined the company last month. Tal's LinkedIn profile says that he was Director of Growth & Partnerships at Facebook from 2011.
The company has declined requests for comment.
Tipsters say only those who were on the chopping block reported to work on Friday to be told of their being laid off.

HBO executives woudn't comment today beyond David Simon's statement about having no issues with The Deuce star, according to Variety. "Sources said executives are closely watching the response to the (Los Angeles) Times' report," says Variety. "Franco's future on the show likely hinges on whether more victims come forward with allegations of work-related misconduct." ALSO: Franco won a Critics' Choice Award Thursday night, but didn't show up to the ceremony.


My chief interest is in stylised figurative work involving the study of movement and body language in human form and the horse.
I work in a variety of media but my favourite is wax, which is then professionally cast in bronze, marble or aluminium resins.
My pieces vary in size, some being large enough for a garden setting. They are only ever in editions of ten.

[invite] Bianca: It's always nice to stumble across those tucked away little gems in the burbs and in the middle of Beecroft's shopping strip, is Long Shot Cafe. The cafe has been around for several years, moving from the internal arcade to it's current location fronting Hannah Street.
Owners Micheline & Andrew are new to the cafe world but you'd be none the wiser. Both are incredibly warm and hospitable and run a pretty smooth ship. Starting with a round of Skim Cappucinos, with strict instructions from locals not to change from Morgan's Coffee Roasters, they knew they were on to a good thing. A teaspoon of sucre to cut through the bitterness, to what was otherwise a well-balanced cappuccino.
I was instantly drawn to the pastry/sweets display cabinet, with an assortment of croissants, donuts, tarts and slices. I can never go past a Plain Glazed Donut (courtesy of Bob & Pete's).
As well as a Homemade Passion-fruit Muffin $4 perhaps not as fluffy as you would expect for a muffin but the flavour was there.
We're big advocates for all day menu's here at @4foodssake and were happy to see one offered at Long Shot. Starting with the savoury, the Longshot Breakfast –w/ poached eggs, mushrooms, roast tomato, black forest streaky bacon, bratwurst sausage, spinach on Brasserie toast $22.50. A breakfast plate fit for a king, the quality of each ingredient used really shone through, we were big fans of the bacon & bratwurst.
Definitely spring for the Fritters -/Corn & Zucchini, Bacon, Avocado, seasonal salad, harissa dressing $19.50 (this can also be made with Grilled prawns if you're wanting some more 'lunchy'). The fritters were full of flavour, definitely some of the better ones we've had. Loved the addition of the punchy harissa dressing and A LOT of it, no skimping here.
And the other dish you need to order. Buttermilk Pancakes -w/ maple syrup, vanilla ice cream & seasonal berries $16.50. These were up there for some of the better quality pancakes in Syd. The pancakes were light and fluffy, I LOVED the crispy outer ring! I do typically shy away from more 'desserty' ice-cream pancakes – I prefer fresh fruits, ricotta or mascarpone cream. And an abundance of maple syrup, ratios were all perfect!
One to add if you're in the area!

Teenage girl sexually assaulted on London bus in Hounslow
She was then attacked again by the same man after getting off the bus
Andy WordenEditor
The teenager was assaulted on a bus as it drove through Hounslow
Detectives are appealing for witnesses after a teenage girl was sexually assaulted in Hounslow .
Police were called at 2.45pm on Sunday, September 29 to reports that a teenager had been sexually assaulted while on board a Route H91 bus.
She then got off the bus and while waiting at a stop opposite 7 Windmill Road, in Brentford , she was assaulted again by the same man, leaving her with facial injuries.
He then walked off towards York Road.
It is believed the suspect was a black man, aged between 25 and 30 years old who was wearing jeans, a hoodie and a hat at the time of the incident.
Police are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed either assault to come forward.
The H91 bus route travels between Hounslow West station and Hammersmith bus station.
Anyone with information should call 101.


Frustrated that your Google Analytics (GA) transactions do not match your actual sales?
Your digital analytics tools will almost always have a discrepancy with your actual sales. The very nature of digital analytics data is to be directional not accurate. This is because it is built on a framework of cookies. Cookies will never be 100% accurate for many reasons, including for example, people or plugins blocking or deleting them.
For GA to be directional, the data should be as close as reasonably possible. A reasonable expectation would be for the data to vary 1 – 10% between the two data systems or potentially higher if your website audience is more tech savvy. When you do notice a major discrepancy (>10% difference), try testing out the following to narrow in on the reasons why.
1. GA is not capturing an add-on purchase path.
In most cases, new purchase paths will not automatically be tracked. For example, let's say a website that sells custom shoes decides to offer a training course on shoe making. This purchase path is built into the website so that customers can easily purchase the shoe making course online.
Since the payment path for courses is designed differently than a regular product purchase path, your eCommerce tracking code may not immediately capture this new method of purchase. When you look at your sales data you will find GA sales below actual sales because GA does not include course purchases.
To isolate for this discrepancy, consider cross-referencing transaction IDs of purchases not found in GA with the purchase path.
2. The information-per-hit limit is surpassed.
When the amount of information being sent in a single hit surpasses 8KB, the hit will drop and not be passed to GA. Imagine you were buying movie tickets online for a group trip. If each person customized their order and added variations of popcorn, fountain drinks, 3D or regular viewings, skittles or M&M's, etc. then each product transaction could contain a lot of information.
Try scanning your back-end sales data for high value purchases. Are these the only purchases missing from GA? If so, this could mean you are overloading the hit with too much information.
3. The hits-per-session limit is reached.
The per session hit limit is 500 hits. If you track a lot of interactions on your website you may unknowingly be running into this limitation. For example, imagine you did all your Christmas shopping from one website. Say you bought different shirts, pants, picture frames, kitchenware, board games and books, in all different shapes, sizes, colours and brands. You searched by top-rated, most- to least- popular, lowest- to highest- price, read customer reviews, then decided what to buy. When an online customer buys in this way they can easily max out the per session hit limit.
To test for this issue, choose some of the purchase scenarios that did not work and simulate these purchase sessions to see if the transaction fires. If you are missing hits for this reason, you may want to re-evaluate what is important to be captured on your website. Just because you can track an interaction, does not mean you should.
4. The receipt page closes before your GA tag fires.
This can happen for a number of reasons. Sometimes a customer may not give the page enough time to load before closing their browser. Other times the GA/GTM snippet is really low on the page and does not load before a customer navigates elsewhere. Since this hit did not send from your website, GA will not receive the transaction. This can lead to your transactions being understated in GA.
Check where your GA/GTM snippet is placed on your site. If it is in the header, it likely will have time to load. If not, try moving it to the header to see if this narrows the discrepancy.
5. Multiple tags or containers.
If more than one of your containers are tracking purchases or if your GTM tag/trigger configuration has gone awry, you could be sending transactions to GA multiple times, inflating total transactions.
Using the Google Tag Assistant plugin in Chrome, try a test transaction and record the session. If multiple containers or tags are firing for the same transaction this will be captured in the recording. Another high-level check would be if the value of certain transactions is double or triple what you would expect from back-end sales.
6. Receipt pages not expiring.
For example, if someone makes a purchase and leaves the receipt page open on their browser (or bookmarks it) then comes back to the tab later, they could send duplicate transactions to GA. Every time this person comes back to the page they will inflate your GA sales data.
Look in your GA data for purchases of the same value more than once by the same userID to confirm if this is the case.
7. GA including call centre purchases.
If your business has a call centre it could be the cause of your sales discrepancy. Sometimes these transactions are separated from online sales in your back-end reports. If these agents buy for your customers online through the same purchasing flows as customers then they would inflate your expected online sales.
For transactions you do not see in your backend reports, consider adding 'city' as a secondary dimension to see if the unexpected transactions are grouped in locations that match up with your call centre locations.
When in doubt, always go with your back-end eCommerce platform because it was designed with the intent of accurately measuring your day-to-day sales.
If you are experiencing any of the above or something different and need help narrowing in on the gap, message us and we can help you investigate the issue further.
Completely agree. Am always setting the expectation that analytics data is for measuring website performance and should not be used the system of record for transactions or other such metrics.
Exactly! I think it is hard for management and analysts to accept less than 100% accuracy when business decisions are at stake. To me, I see digital analytics as both an art and a science. Part of being a good analyst is understanding the restrictions of the type of data we work with and being okay with it.


State Rep. Dan Lauwers, center, today talks about his legislation to help protect Michigan motorists by helping keep repeat drugged drivers of the road. St. Clair County Prosecuting Attorney Michael D. Wendling, at left, and St. Clair County Sheriff Tim Donnellon joined Lauwers today at a news conference in Port Huron Township.
As drugged driving offenses skyrocket throughout the nation, state Rep. Dan Lauwers today unveiled legislation to help keep these dangerous motorists off Michigan streets by ensuring immediate jail time for repeat offenders and improved communication between law enforcement agencies.
Lauwers unveiled the legislation at a news conference in Port Huron Township with St. Clair County Sheriff Tim Donnellon and Prosecuting Attorney Michael D. Wendling. The three-bill package helps ensure that repeat drugged drivers are taken off the streets by placing a conditional bond on drivers who are arrested for operating under the influence of drugs, allowing law enforcement to enter a pending chemical analysis and conditional bond into the Law Enforcement Information Network (LEIN), and requiring all motorists who fail a roadside chemical sobriety test to be given a 625 permit license similar to a drunken driving offense.
On July 20, 2013, Russell Ward and Koby Raymo, both of Avoca, were killed in a head-on collision in St. Clair County when a pickup driven by Lisa Bergman crossed the center line. Bergman's blood later tested positive for controlled substances. She had been pulled over six times since 2008 for operating under the influence of drugs, and at the time of the accident she had two pending cases.
The Michigan crime lab received $600,000 from the State Police in February to send out 2,500 backlogged cases to a third party.
Michigan had the 12th highest rate of drugged drivers in the country from 2006-2009, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Fatal crashes involving marijuana use tripled nationally during the previous decade, according to Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. Marijuana use alone contributed to 12 percent of 2010 crashes, representing a 300-percent increase compared to 1999.
The bills will be formally introduced in the House on Tuesday.

When should I take my daughter to the OB/GYN?
From an early age, young women must learn about their bodies and understand the waves of change that happen as they develop and mature. One need is constant from adolescence through every stage of adulthood: the need for gynecological care from an OB/GYN.
Many women think of the OB/GYN as someone they visit when they're having a problem, like trying to avoid pregnancy, trying to become pregnant, or having complications such as heavy periods or menopause symptoms. But really, it's important for young women to start visiting the OB/GYN as teenagers, regardless of whether they're sexually active.
A lot of my patients who are moms say, "My daughter wants to come visit you, but she is afraid of getting a pelvic exam." I can't say I blame them, but the good news is young women likely won't need one. Let's take a closer look at when those annual visits should start, and what happens during the visits.
When should annual visits start?
Current recommendations are for young women to start seeing an OB/GYN annually at around age 15. From ages 15 to 21, OB/GYN visits are usually more of a conversation than a physical exam. In most cases, a pelvic exam is not necessary. That's why we call it an annual visit, and not an annual exam.
But if something develops, we want her to feel comfortable enough to call and get the care she needs. Just like with her annual school physical, it's better to see someone she knows and feels comfortable with rather than taking her to someone she hasn't met if she develops a problem.
Starting at age 15 and all the way up to age 21, the annual visit is more about getting comfortable with seeing a physician developing a patient/doctor relationship than it is being physically examined. This is a time of physical and hormonal changes, and it's important that young women develop a relationship with an OB/GYN they can trust.
What happens at the annual visit?
As a young woman, your daughter is getting used to her changing body and identifying the hormonal and physical changes that are taking place. She's likely had her menstrual cycle for a few years, so we'll discuss questions about her changing body and her periods. We'll also cover some of the basics of teen health that her pediatrician or family physician covers, like nutrition and exercise.
This also is a good time to talk about birth control options, teen pregnancy, protection from and counseling for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and other related issues as they arise. It's important to discuss these issues regardless of whether your daughter is currently sexually active. It's often hard for parents to accept that their daughters are developing into young women, but it's better for girls to be prepared than to run into problems and medical complications later that could have been avoided with precautions taken now. Parents may sit in on the visit but may be asked to step out of the room when we start to talk about these personal topics.
If your daughter is experiencing problems with her periods (heavy bleeding, excess cramping, or extreme irregularity) or another issue like a vaginal infection, we may need to perform a physical exam to determine what's going on or rule out potential problems. But we have ways of doing that without giving her a complete exam like an adult woman would have. We can focus your daughter's exam on whatever area her particular problem is associated with, and that's it.
Starting at age 21, your daughter should begin to receive a standard pelvic exam at her annual OB/GYN visit, which we recommend for all women. She also should get her first pap smear at age 21. At her annual visits from then on, we'll discuss how her physical and hormonal needs change as she moves through the stages of womanhood.
Teens are really busy with school, sports, friends, and part-time jobs. It can be difficult to keep track of all of their activities, let alone adding an annual visit with the OB/GYN to the mix.
When your daughter's visit is complete, we'll give her the opportunity at check-out to automatically schedule her appointment for next year, just like we do with our adult patients. Sometimes it's difficult to keep busy young women on the annual schedule. Once they've missed a year, they likely won't make it in the next year, either.
More often than not, we won't see our young adult patients outside of annual visits until a need arises, such as if they've developed a medical issue or they're having trouble with their periods. When a young woman comes in for those reasons, of course we're happy to visit with her. It gives us a chance to help her feel better, which is one of our top goals. But it also gives us an opportunity to gently remind her that it's important to come in annually. If she does, we can achieve our other important goal – preventing medical issues before they start.

Icon lost - Golding, Simpson Miller mourn Nettleford
Published:Wednesday | February 3, 2010 | 12:00 AM
Professor Rex Nettleford - February 3, 1933 - February 2, 2010
Jamaica lost one of its most revered cultural figures last night when Professor Rex Nettleford, vice-chancellor emeritus of the University of the West Indies (UWI) and founder of the National Dance Theatre Company (NDTC), died, just hours before he would have celebrated his 77th birthday.
Nettleford passed away at George Washington Hospital in Washington, DC, one week after suffering a heart attack at a hotel in the United States capital.
Last night, Prime Minister Bruce Golding said he was deeply saddened at the news of Nettleford's death.
"Jamaica and the entire world have lost an intellectual and creative genius, a man whose contribution to shaping and projecting the cultural landscape of the entire Caribbean region is unquestionable," Golding said.
"Rex Nettleford was an international icon, a quintessential Caribbean man, the professor, writer, dancer, manager, orator, critic and mentor. He has left a void in our world that will be a challenge to fill."
Nettleford was admitted to hospital, unconscious, on January 27.
Olivia Grange, minister of youth, sports and culture, said in a release that Nettleford, who had been in the intensive care unit at the hospital since last Wednesday with catastrophic brain injury following a cardiac arrest, died at 8 p.m., four hours before his birthday.
"The nation, the wider Caribbean and beyond mourn the loss of this great Caribbean icon," Grange said.
A national loss
Portia Simpson Miller, president of the People's National Party and opposition leader, expressed con-dolences to Nettleford's family, friends and colleagues.
"I am very deeply saddened by the news of Professor Nettleford's passing. This is a national loss and one that I feel personally. Words are inadequate to capture the extent of the grief I feel," Simpson Miller said.
Simpson Miller hailed Nettleford as a son of rural Jamaica whose life's trajectory testifies to the success that is possible through grit, determination, resilience and 'smadification' - local parlance for self-actualisation - within the Jamaican cultural environment, of which he wrote so eloquently.
Jamaica's ambassador to the United States, Anthony Johnson, told The Gleaner last night that doctors said Nettleford never regained consciousness.
He had gone to Washington, DC, to attend a fund-raising gala for the UWI.
Many tributes have come in for the Trelawny-born Nettleford, who excelled as an academic, cultural activist, historian and remained an unapologetic regionalist.
Former Jamaican prime minister, Edward Seaga, who first met Nettleford in the early 1960s, described him as the "quintessential Caribbean man".
"There was a strong willingness on his part to absorb Jamaican culture, which I believe is his greatest contribution. It's on that basis that the NDTC became such a force," Seaga told The Gleaner.
For many years, Nettleford juggled duties with the NDTC and the UWI where he was vice-chancellor from 1997 to 2004. He was the NDTC's choreographer and artistic director, and continued to lecture at the UWI's Caribbean Institute of Media and Communication (CARIMAC) and Trade Union Education Institution.
In a 2007 interview with The Gleaner, Nettleford said Seaga assisted the NDTC in its early years by taking them to kumina and revival meetings. The group incorporated those informal 'lessons' into some of their dance routines, including the popular Kumina.
"The underlying thing was using dance to explain to ourselves and the world who we are, and to celebrate the African presence in the shaping of a Jamaican/Caribbean ethos," Nettleford said in the interview three years ago.
Bridgett Spaulding (formerly Casserly) was an original member of the NDTC, who first met Nettleford when he and fellow dancer Eddy Thomas were forming the group in 1962. She credits him for the group's longevity.
Unparalleled passion
"He had a passion for the company that is unparalleled, but he also had a strong desire for people to grow and develop," Spaulding said.
Nettleford experienced remarkable personal growth during the 1960s. A graduate of Cornwall College in St James, he was a Rhodes Scholar who attended Oxford University and had cut his teeth as a dancer in the Ivy Baxter Dance Group.
He and Thomas formed the NDTC in September 1962, one month after Jamaica gained Independence from Britain. It comprised dancers from various groups, and emerged around the same time that ska music and the Rastafarian culture were beginning to have an influence on Jamaican youth.
During that decade, Nettleford championed the work of folklorist Louise Bennett-Coverley and wrote the provocative book, Mirror Mirror, which dealt with racial and social issues in Jamaica.
Politically, Nettleford said he was drawn to the ideals of Norman Manley, Jamaica's first premier, who was also a fierce proponent of Caribbean unity.
In the 1970s, Nettleford was a cultural adviser to Manley's son Michael, Jamaica's socialist prime minister from 1972 to 1980. At the time of his death, Nettleford was acting in a similar capacity to Prime Minister Bruce Golding.
Nettleford received many awards for his contribution to academia and the arts. He was a recipient of the Order of Merit, Jamaica's third-highest honour.
He is the latest Caribbean cultural figure to die in recent months.
Playwright Trevor Rhone, Trinidadian writer Wayne Brown and bandleader Sonny Bradshaw passed away late last year.

Good evening Blues and welcome to Monday's version of the transfer news update from CFCnet, where we take a look at the latest potential arrivals, departures and done deals at Stamford Bridge this summer.
Fist up, confirmation of the signing of goalkeeper Asmir Begovic from Stoke, that's been officially revealed today by Chelsea.
As expected the Blues have paid Stoke £8 million for the 28-year old Bosnian International and loaned Marco Van Ginkel in return.
Begovic is a great keeper and what a backup option to have. He is here to challenge though and not just make up the numbers so we could see some healthy competition in the ranks. All in all, a great signing for the club.
Meanwhile Barcelona winger Pedro admits that he has received offers to leave now that his buyout clause has been lowered but did not confirm any more other than that. The Spaniard has apparently been talking with Cesc Fabregas about joining him at Chelsea and he wants Champions League football.
Personally, I've heard reasonable sources say that terms have been agreed with Chelsea and Pedro however, I've also heard the opposite from sources who are also reasonably well trusted. So this one is up in the air but is certainly gathering solid pace.
Finally, according to BBC Sport, John Obi Mikel will not be allowed to leave Stamford Bridge during this transfer window, being told that he is still part of the Manager's plans.
Mikel wants to leave after growing frustrated about sitting on the bench but Mourinho wants to keep him. Although, the report further suggests that any offers made to Chelsea by any potential suitors have not met their valuation anyway, suggesting that if the right offer did come in then they may listen. We shall see.

What a perfect way to celebrate the rescue of the 33 Chilean miners! Song, "The Other Side of Down," by none other than David Archuleta.
Last week David Archuleta's "Something 'Bout Love" music video was at number 1 on Musiqtone. The new voting cycle ends 20 October 2010 at 10 am ET. According to the confusing Top 12 Leaderboard, David Archuleta, who looks exactly like Carrie Underwood, is leading with *her* song, "Mama's Song," and David's song, "Something 'bout Love," is sung by Taylor Swift. Let's vote for David Archuleta's "Something 'bout Love," and help Musiqtone out of this state of confusion.
Over on Archuleta Fan Scene, Osarko cracked me up with her rave review of TOSOD. She goes so far as to quote her own 2008 blog comments about David when he was a contestant on Idol. To prove that she loves David's new album, she is giving away three copies of the CD. The giveaway promo ends on Thursday, October 21, at midnight PST.
Osarko says the winners will be randomly chosen, but you might have a better chance if your comment sounds punk-rockish.
Thanks for the weekly wrap. My one stop shopping for everything DA! lol. Is it strange that even two years later when I watch an interview of David I'm grinning ear to ear?
It still cracks me up after all this time. David is so funny sometimes! And has quick reflexes.
Yep, Minja, That one is a classic!

Q: Programming code listing: enumeration and left margin I'd like to include programming codes in LaTeX by using the verbatim package.
For the code I use, the enumeration is continuous.
So if a new code starts, the numbers are ongoing, which should not be the case.
The use of the linenumbers package did not help.
Further I'd like to have a vertical line between the numbers and the code to indicate the left margin.
I have attached the code.

Thanks.

A: My verbatimbox package can do this.  However, I had to renew the verbnobox environment in order to not reset the line number counter (I'll be fixing this in a future release of the package).  To reset the line number manually, \setcounter{VerbboxLineNo}{-1}.
In this MWE, I set the line number in \scriptsize and the code in \small, both of which can be altered in the definition of \tmp.  The variable which I define as \tmp is key to setting the content and appearance of the verbatim as well as its marginal heading.
EDITED to guarantee that new environment picks up on sequential line number where count was last left off.

Q: My custom tflite image classifier perfoms well in python but when I launch it in Android studio it doesn't work at all We were doing a course project and faced this issue. The idea is simple, three categories: cats, dogs, and cars, the app should classify the photo in one of these. There are lots of tutorials how to implement an already taught net like ImageNet but we needed to do a custom one. I used Tensorflow Keras, saved model as h5 and then converted it to tflite with metadata, in which I specified resize and normalize options. Unfortunately, it didn't work at all.

        .build();

// Create a TensorImage object. This creates the tensor of the corresponding

We tried many times, and as I understand it's not needed if you specified metadata because without this it works a little bit better.
I guess that the problem is that it does preprocessing automatically but I haven't find anywhere which interpolation method it uses or how can I override that interpolation method. In Keras I use ImageDataGenerator and flow_from_directory to load data and it uses nearest neighbour by default. I have no opportunity to train the model again so it would be better if you tell how can I override it in Android Studio.
Thank you in advance

Labyrinth and Jihara saw a skeleton right in the town of Port Royal!
In the old PR, Navy Officers used to guard the town. I miss it..
Lol, that is kinda funny.
and Mall, I miss the fights in the middle of town too!
Looks like the Skellie is trying to tell Labyrith a ScArY Tale!
It sure would be cool if there were a few more of these guys around town, (even Navy again).
Things seem so quiet, except for an occasional 'Run' By.
Aye, This be the finest Pixie Pirate Guild this side of Neverland!
There used to be Navy Officers guarding the town? Whoa. I didn't know THAT. I guess I miss that too.
It would be really exciting about that.

El Al ends in-house Boeing 747-400F freighter operations, expands operations with ASL Airlines and AirBridgeCargo
El Al Israel Airlines has ended its in-house Boeing 747-400F freighter operations. Instead the company is farming out the freighter work to sub-contractors ASL Airlines and AirBridgeCargo.
The last revenue cargo flight was operated on June 30 between Liege and Tel Aviv as flight LY872 with the pictured Boeing 747-412F 4X-ELF (msn 26563).
El Al has been offering 747-400F freighter service since 2010.

El Al Israel Airlines and Alaska Airlines expand their global partnership as El Al starts San Francisco service
El Al Israel Airlines and Alaska Airlines today expanded their commercial relationship to include a reciprocal frequent flyer agreement. The agreement was signed by the CEOs of each airline at a ceremony soon after the arrival of the first El Al flight from Tel Aviv to San Francisco and was attended by San Francisco Bay Area dignitaries and civic leaders. This agreement is in addition to the codeshare agreement that recently came into effect between the airlines allowing EL AL to place its "LY" code on various Alaska Airlines "AS" flights in the U.S.
The codeshare agreement which has been available for sale as of April 28 for flights as of May 5 includes flights from Newark, Los Angeles and now San Francisco onto a host of Alaska Airlines flights. From San Francisco, El Al will place its code on flights to Seattle/Tacoma; San Diego; Portland, Oregon; Honolulu; Los Angeles; Palm Springs, California; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Austin, Texas; Dallas (DAL); Santa Ana, California, Everett, Washington, Kansas City, Missouri; Salt Lake City; Kona, Hawaii and Las Vegas. Upon regulatory approval, will also include flights to various points in Mexico.
The El Al flights will operate three times weekly flying a state-of-the-art 787 Dreamliner, offering Business, Premium and Economy service. The flights from Tel Aviv will depart on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 0105 and arrive in San Francisco on the same day at 0600 for a flight time just under 15 hours. The flights from San Francisco to Tel Aviv will operate on Monday and Wednesday departing at 2000 for arrival the next day at 1940 and on Saturday night with a 2245 departure arriving in Tel Aviv at 2225 the next day for a flying time of just over 13 and a half hours.

El Al Israel Airlines reports its financial results for 2018 and fourth quarter 2018, Boeing 747-400s to be retired
El Al Israel Airlines issued this reported today:
Despite the increased competition at Ben Gurion Airport, the Company's (TASE: ELAL) revenues from passenger increased by approx. USD $54 million.
However, in view of the increase in fuel prices, the Company lost approximately USD $52 million in 2018.
The Company's revenues for 2018 amounted to approx. USD $2,142 million compared to approx. USD $2,097 million last year (reflecting an increase of USD $45 million).
The Company's revenues for the fourth quarter of 2018 amounted to approx. $493 million compared to approx. USD $512 million for the fourth quarter of 2017 (reflecting a decrease of USD $19 million).
The Company recorded a loss before tax of approx. USD $68 million and a net loss of approx. USD $52 million for 2018 (compared to a profit before tax of USD $9 million and a net profit of USD $6 million for 2017, respectively).
The Company recorded a loss before tax of USD $41 million and a net loss of USD $32 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 (compared to a loss before tax of USD $38 million and a net loss of USD $30 million for the fourth quarter of 2017, respectively).
Gonen Usishkin, El Al's CEO:
"Following the continued implementation of the Open Sky policy, in 2018 the competition at Ben Gurion Airport intensified, with an emphasis on European and Far East airlines. The number of passengers passing through Ben Gurion Airport grew from 20.2 million to 22.3 million. Particularly conspicuous is the Government's decision to allow Air India to fly over Saudi Arabia using a short route, whereas the Company is not allowed to fly this route, thereby eroding the Company's profitability from this route.
Notwithstanding the competition, the Company maintained a Load Factor of 84% and increased its revenues from passengers by USD 54 million. This year, a number of factors were joined together, in particular an approx. 30% increase in fuel prices (reflecting an expenditure increase of USD $97 million), which caused the said loss.
Upon completion of replacing the 767 and 747 aircrafts with the Dreamliners, the Company will be able to realize its operational efficiency potential (pilot expenses, saving fuel consumption and maintenance expenses) and significantly contribute to improve the product and upgrade the customer experience, alongside other steps taken by the Company.
Despite the results, the Company is in the process of implementing its business plan, and this is the place to thank all the Company's employees who make effort to return El Al to profitability, improve all operational parameters and provide excellent service to its customers."
In order to improve its business results, the Company established a strategic plan focusing on four core areas of operations:
The Company's activities to improve the product and customer experience
The Company is going through a strategic process of improving customer experience and, for this purpose, invests considerable resources in most areas of operations, by means of the following activities:
Receiving five 787-9 Dreamliners. As of today, the Company operates eight 787-9 aircrafts.
Closing the 767 aircraft fleet, having been in the Company's service for 36 years.
Launching a fast WI-FI system. Currently, the Company operates 18 airplanes with an internet system.
Recruiting the Michelin Star chef, Shahaf Shabtai, to act as the Company's chef. Chef Shabtai devised a new high quality menu dedicated to El Al.
The Company's activities in the commercial area
The Company continues to develop a route network adapted to the Israeli passenger and offers new products to the market, as follows:
Launching the route to Lisbon, adding activities on selected routes (such as Newark) and refreshing SunDor route network (both routine and seasonal activity).
Expanding the route network through new codeshare agreements with Vietnam Airlines and LOT (in early 2019) and expanding agreements with other airlines.
Launching price categories adapted to passengers flying to Europe, the Far East and Africa.
Extending the Branded Credit Card (FlyCard) Cooperation Agreement entered into with CAL, Diners and Poalim Express, and adding a new strategic partner – Mastercard.
The Company's activities in the operational area
The Company is acting to strengthen its competitiveness through streamlining alongside improving operational excellence:
In 2018, the Company launched the "Ofek 2021" Program, aiming to enhance income resources while improving and streamlining operational processes within the Company.
The Company is in a multi-year process of replacing several operational and commercial IT systems, and this year successfully completed the implementation of a passenger revenue management system, automated marketing system and payroll system.
The Company has successfully implemented the new Flight Time Limitation regulations (FTL).
The Company's Activities relating to people and processes
Investing in the Company's personnel and the community contributes to the stability of the organization and forms a strategic basis for improving customer experience:
Stabilizing labor relations following the agreement entered into with the Company's pilots, enabling operational efficiency and flexibility vis-à-vis pilots' lifestyle, as well as optimal planning for aircrew personnel.
El Al takes particular pride in its PL+ rating assigned to it by "Ma'ala", following an extensive activity for the community, inter alia, by raising money on flights for the benefit of "ALUT ALE" organization, adopting the Paratroopers Battalion 202, volunteering activities for the benefit of the IDF Disabled Veterans Organization, "Krembo Wings", children with cancer, holocaust survivors, children communities across Israel, and more.
Focus in 2019 onwards
The Company has reported in the past a number of initiatives to enhance income and reduce expenses, along with actions intended to improve operational excellence:
Receipt of six additional 787 aircrafts (a total of 14 aircrafts by the end of 2019) to significantly improve the product and customer experience. The Company expects that by the end of 2019, the average age of the aircraft fleet will decrease for the first time below 10 years.
Closing the 747-400 aircraft fleet.
Additional expansion of the route network; by adding new routes to San Francisco, Las Vegas, Manchester and Niece, alongside expansion of existing routes.
Preparations for opening a route to Chicago in 2020.
Expansion of cargo transport in the belly of the 787 aircrafts.
A full-fleet interior renovation of the 737-800 aircraft fleet, including replacement of seats, improvement of luggage storage areas and replacement of interior lighting.
Start a project of renewal interior renovation of 777-200ER aircraft fleet, including replacement of seats, entertainment system, installation of WI-FI system and renovation of the overall appearance of the aircraft cabin.
Update to the Frequent Flyer Club program and upgrade of internet and mobile digital platforms.
Modification of the model of compensation to travel agents.
Expansion of activities under the "Ofek 2021" program, inter alia, the chain of logistics, maintenance array and passenger service.
Implementation of the collaboration agreement with CAL, Diners, Poalim Express and Mastercard.

First reaction: Why would i share my personal story with an anonymous audience?
Second reaction: Do I have a personal story?
I have lived through too many wars.
You've got to blame Eyal for this.
Discuss different topics related to War and Peace. Share with others my experience in peace work and interfaith dialogue, and learn about theirs! Search for, discover and invent ways to advance peace on all sides of Galilea (higher, lower, south, north, east and west).
One of the main problems with the Ning interface is that it doesn't allow the multiplication of fora. All postings are dumped into the same forum, even though they are very different in many aspects. It's as news items in a local newspaper appeared in chronological order... or according to a couple of broad themes.
Today, I decided to become popular! How? By accepting all the friendship requests I have received.
The idea seems unpleasant and degrading (for friendship), but why not try something new. It's just another word (albeit an inadequate one) for networking, isn't it?
The biggest difficulty I face as a Peaceseeker is anger-management, that is the management of my anger and that of the people I'm talking to.
Thanks, JC (re my ideas for n-v resistance). Why don't you post your query about it in the public discussion thread? There can't be more than one degree of separation (if that) between mepeace and Free Gaza, and every comment draws further attention to the discussion.
Looks like you didn't read my reply about what nonviolent resistance on the Marmara might have looked like. You can find it Here.
As you said, the Rachel Corrie made only a blip in the news cycle. That blip means that most people who heard about it at all heard only that another Free Gaza boat had gone to try and break the blockade (even if one thinks that's not really what happened, it's still what people heard) and was again intercepted, this time without combat or injury. So yes, I think it helped reestablish Free Gaza's nonviolent direct action credentials in the eyes of the general public, and I think that's whose eyes mattered and that was the immediate need. I doubt anyone thinks it says much about what will happen next time, and I don't take too seriously Israel's ability to define appropriate nonviolent resistance for the world. It's not like there was some "correct" response GFree Gaza could have made that the Israelis would not have tried to use against them. I think they chose the best option (though I doubt the ladders were necessary).
Sorry for the delay. I've now replied to your query in the discussion (actually, I tried yesterday, but lost it). The folks on the Rachel Corrie made what I think was the right decision to not attempt any nonviolent resistance, but rather to cooperate fully (they let down ladders over the side for IDF to climb up and board them) in order to try and re-establish their movement's smudged nonviolent credentials.
As I wrote in one of my comments in the discussion, Gandhi changed the name of his movement from "passive resistance" to satyagraha (truthforce), in part because nonviolent resistance and non-cooperation is not passive.
ok, why not. what do you want to know? i will answer you for all the questions you will post.
Hi JC, yes, I know the lady who told me the story is angry- her ancestors were hard-working immigrants into Venezuela, who managed to make loads of money, and she studied in both the US and Lebanon. But I remember something about that war myself- I was about 12 and had 2 great friends, a Jew and a Lebanese arab, niece of the lady I spoke of before. I was raised as an atheist, taught that religion is nothing but entertainment for crazy people and a tool for evil 'leaders' to abuse (not my opinion). I remember the Jewish girl was very ashamed of her country's abusing our other friend's country, and I kept telling them both that religion was bad. But in the end, our Lebanese friend got to marry the guy she wanted, a big Shell executive, while the jewish girl's life was controlled by her family! She and her sister had to have their boyfriends hidden from their parents, and then had to marry Jews!
I agree though that the religion thing is mostly just an excuse to exclude others from what brings us welfare- its what my mother hates about it.
Hello JC, I am in Venezuela, and just a few weeks ago, a lady who studied at the Beirut University told me one of her best friends was a woman who exploded herself at the Munich Olympics. She also told me of how she was trapped in Beirut when Israel attacked because Lebanon had given shelter to Palestinians who had bombed Israel from Lebanon. She seemed pretty angry at the Palestinians, calling them ungrateful guests. What my mother and I can't understand is why people keep fighting over land as dry and useless as Israel and Palestine its' not like its the AMAZON! It cannot be pleasing to G-d to see people worshipping cities instead of following His instructions, which were totally anti-war for all 3 of His groups! And why is Israel dry today, if G-d called it a fruitful land? It must be because He's angry that people keep worshipping the land instead of HIM? What do you think?

Why is geothermal energy renewable source of energy?
Tuesday, 03 April 2012 07:33	Ned Haluzan
Geothermal energy (earth's thermal energy in form of heat generated and stored in Earth's core) is renewable source of energy because earth's heat is practically inexhaustible source of energy that is being replenished by radioactive decay of minerals at a rate of 30 TW.
The Earth's inner heat primarily comes from a heat produced through radioactive decay (around 80%) while the rest comes from residual heat from planetary accretion (about 20%).
Together with being renewable energy source geothermal energy is also considered to be sustainable source of energy because any projected extraction of geothermal resources is small compared to the Earth's heat content (with the worst thing that could happen being the local depletion of geothermal resources).
Renewable energy source doesn't have to be necessarily environmentally friendly source of energy, though in almost all cases renewable energy sources are much more environmentally friendly than currently dominant fossil fuels. Geothermal energy is generally considered to be environmentally friendly source of energy with very few environmental risks when compared to other renewable energy sources.
Despite the fact that geothermal energy is renewable and practically inexhaustible source of energy, world is still using very little of total geothermal energy potential, mostly because with currently available technologies only areas near the tectonic boundaries can be profitably exploited.
Unlike solar and wind geothermal energy is renewable energy source that doesn't suffer from intermittency issue and is available 24-7, throughout the entire year. The capital costs of building new geothermal power plants are still high but once completed these power plants are highly reliable and have low maintenance costs.

MOSCOW, March 3 (PNA/Sputnik) -- According to media reports, former French Prime Minister Alain Juppe said he was ready to join the presidential race as the candidate from The Republicans party, if Francois Fillon had to step down.
Former French Prime Minister Alain Juppe said he was ready to join the presidential race as the candidate from The Republicans party, if Francois Fillon had to step down, French media reported Friday.
"I would not hide. This situation looks like a collective suicide," Juppe said, as quoted by Le Parisien newspaper, adding that he would "stay loyal" but was "ready" to serve as a replacement candidate.
On Wednesday, in the run-up to Fillon's press conference, the French media speculated on whether he might announce Juppe as his substitute. Instead, Fillon reaffirmed his determination to run despite the scandal around his wife and stressed that the investigation into his family's finances was "a political assassination."
The center-right candidate said that he would attend the interview with the examining magistrate he had been summoned for and would "tell the truth." Fillon also reiterated that he was not guilty of misappropriating public funds.
The scandal broke out in January around Fillon's wife allegedly having been employed as his parliamentary assistant and paid without actually working.
Juppe lost to Fillon in the second round of the center-right primaries in November 2016, with 33.51 percent to Fillon's 66.49 percent.

This meditterranean styled suburb of Santareme is spread out along the coast between the Village and the Port. The roofs all have terracote tiled roofs and are painted in similar salmon pink colour. The properties in Santareme stretches from the highwater mark up the hill to give all homeowners a panoramic view of St Francis Bay. The rocky coastline is ideal for fishing as well as snorkeling and spearfishing or just sitting and enjoying a glass of wine at sunset with friends. It also boasts a shoreline walkingpath along it's entire length which allows you to explore all the treasures a rocky shoreline can give. This path starts at the Heritage Centre and meanders through the Municpal Gardens and ends at the Port where a nice cool drink is often welcome.

In this post, I am sharing some of the information I've discovered during my preparation for our upcoming Shalon focused on The Spectrum of Identity so that everyone can bring this into their own conversations – formal or informal – as we all work to make our communities and our world a more educated, accepting and supportive place for all people.
