Q: How to implement continuously running dataflow blocks in TPL? I have producer/consumer dataflow block set-up using BufferBlock and ActionBlock and it is working fine inside Console application;
After adding all items into BurfferBlock and Linking BufferBlock with other Action Items; it is working good.
now I want to use that inside service where this dataflow block pipeline will always be up and and when messages will be available through external events it would go inside bufferblock and that will start processing. How can I achieve this?
So far I have done below:
public void SetupPipeline()
{
    FirstBlock = new ActionBlock<WorkItem>(new Action<WorkItem>(ProcessIncomingMessage),
    new ExecutionDataflowBlockOptions
    {
        MaxDegreeOfParallelism = DataflowBlockOptions.Unbounded
    });

    BufferBlock = new BufferBlock<WorkItem>();

    GroupingDataflowBlockOptions GroupingDataflowBlockOptions = new GroupingDataflowBlockOptions();
    GroupingDataflowBlockOptions.Greedy = true;
    GroupingDataflowBlockOptions.BoundedCapacity = GroupingDataflowBlockOptions.Unbounded;
    CancellationTokenSource = new CancellationTokenSource();
    CancellationToken = CancellationTokenSource.Token;
    GroupingDataflowBlockOptions.CancellationToken = CancellationToken;
    BatchBlock = new BatchBlock<WorkItem>(BoundingCapacity, GroupingDataflowBlockOptions);

    ProcessItems = new ActionBlock<WorkItem[]>(WorkItems =>
        ProcessWorkItems(WorkItems.ToList<WorkItem>()),
        new ExecutionDataflowBlockOptions
      {
          CancellationToken = CancellationToken
      });

    Timer = new Timer(_ =>
            BatchBlock.TriggerBatch()
        );

    TimingBlock = new TransformBlock<WorkItem, WorkItem>(WorkItem =>
    {
        Timer.Change(TimerInterval, Timeout.Infinite);
        logger.Debug("Inside TimingBlock : " + WorkItem.ToString());
        return WorkItem;
    }, new ExecutionDataflowBlockOptions
    {
        CancellationToken = CancellationToken
    });

    BatchBlock.LinkTo(ProcessItems);
    TimingBlock.LinkTo(BatchBlock);
    BufferBlock.LinkTo(TimingBlock);
}

A: As a gross oversimplification, DataFlow is a way to process a bunch of objects using a set of methods. It doesn't provide or expect any specific way of creating these objects.
If you want a pipeline to stay alive, just don't terminate the application. If you don't want to use a Console application, create a service that builds the pipeline and sends objects to it until it closes.
Messages are just objects that you will create by reading data, in response to events (whatever that means) or any other way.
As for external events, what do you mean by that? That someone will send data to your application? There are many ways this can happen:

*

*If the data comes from another console application, you can pipe the results of one application to the other, parse data coming from the input stream of your command-line application, create messages and pass them to the pipeline

*If you want a service listening for requests, you can host a .NET Pipe, WCF or Web API service to listen for calls and pass the posted data to the pipeline.

*If the data comes from a database, you may be able to poll for changes and send any changed data to the pipeline.

The point is, Dataflow is about processing data, not about listening to events. It's not a full blown distributed agent system, if that's what you were looking for.

A: Your batch size is defined by the variable 'BoundingCapacity' in the batchblock constructor. A batch will be posted when:

*

*A number of posts equal to the batch size have been received (specified in constructor)

*The batch block is marked for completion

*The triggerbatch method is called

It seems like you want a batch to post when the bath size is met or a timeout occurs.  If this is the case, and if batch size is not critical, I would really just add a recurring interval to the timer you have and make the object downstream of the batchblock ignore empty posts.
What you may actually want, and what is most inline with the philosophy of dataflow programming, is to create a new batch block when you begin posting a series of items and then completing it when done or when a timeout occurs.  New posts would create a new batchblock if one does not already exist.
The problem with trying to implement a timeout timer around the batchblock that only fires based on the first trigger is that you will either need to count and verify posts to bufferblock or you will need to watch posts from bufferblock.  Both of these scenarios will create a lot of ugliness and/or violate block encapsulation.

Home / courts / Attorneys: Judge overstepped authority ordering students to delete recordings
Attorneys: Judge overstepped authority ordering students to delete recordings
By: Isaac Windes	April 3, 2017
Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Pamela Gates interviewing for a position on the Arizona Supreme Court in September 2016.
A judge who was a finalist for a spot on the Arizona Supreme Court gave a group of journalism students a real-life lesson in prior restraint on March 3.
Judge Pamela Gates of Maricopa County Superior Court ordered the students to erase recordings they made during a sentencing proceeding, an order First Amendment lawyers say went over the line.
Attorney Dan Barr, who practices First Amendment law, said the judge's order was prior restraint, which she cannot do.
"Whether or not she tells you 'you can record' or not, once you've recorded, she can't tell you what to do with it," Barr said.
Prior restraint occurs when the government suppresses material before it can be published, which the First Amendment greatly limits.
Since the recordings had already been made when the judge said that prior recording must be deleted, she was preventing the quotes and information from those recordings to be used for publication.
Student reporters from Arizona State University's Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication were on a class assignment in Gates' court covering the sentencing of Rebekah Mellon, who pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the 2012 shooting death of her husband, Donald.
Halfway through the proceeding, court staff informed the judge that spectators were recording. Gates stopped the sentencing, consulted with the prosecuting and defense attorneys, and then addressed the spectators.
She said the students using recorders violated Supreme Court rules governing the use of cameras and recording devices in court, and she wanted the recording stopped and all recordings of the proceedings up to that point deleted.
Gates has been on the bench since 2009 and sits in a leadership role as associate criminal presiding judge.
She was also one of seven finalists for two spots on the Arizona Supreme Court in 2016 when the Legislature added two seats to the court.
David Bodney, a litigator focusing on media and constitutional law, was on the committee that drafted the rule. He said that the judge went well beyond her authority.
"There would need to be some kind of hearing, and express findings that would be hard to justify in support of that kind of penalty," Bodney said.
Bodney also said that the rule is simply there to inform the court of who is recording.
"That's it, and the mere fact that you were unaware of that rule ought not give the court license to order the destruction of materials obtained in open court," Bodney said. "The purpose is to notify the judge that there is someone in the courtroom with a tape recorder, and that person's name is X."
In her September interview for the Supreme Court, Gates, who was speaking on the issue of the court's duty to interpret privacy laws in the context of modern technology, indicated she has an appreciation for the privacy of a person's digitally-stored information.
"I love the Fourth Amendment," Gates said. "A reasonable expectation of privacy on our cell phones, which have so much information about us, is absolutely a privacy right, and a reasonable expectation of privacy that we have all come to accept and appreciate."
However, Gates said during the sentencing that those who were recording would be met afterward to ensure that they had deleted the audio files.
After the court hearing several court staffers told several student reporters that if they waited around they could discuss sanctions with the judge, who would not be available for several hours.
Bodney said that no such sanctions had been given in the past, and that they would have to be adjudicated.
"The question would be what would be an appropriate sanction," Bodney said. "It seems to me the compulsory deletion of material obtained in open court goes too far, and would be unconstitutional."
Gates never met with students after the sentencing and she did not reply to inquiries later that day and the following week.
Two Cronkite associate faculty members, Maureen West and Christia Gibbons, said they contacted the court's media relations department last year about the court's digital recording policy after a student reporter was told to stop recording during a sentencing.
West and Gibbons said they were told that digital recording for note taking was allowed in court.
Karen Arra, media relations director for the Maricopa County Superior Court, said that requests had to be made for audio that was being used for broadcast.
"The rule specifies that you must notify the court prior to using a personal audio recorder. If using the audio for broadcast, you must submit a camera or audio request prior to the
proceeding," Arra said.
None of the students' recordings was made for the intention of broadcast.
Arra, and others contacted in her department, did not provide any explanation for what sanctions would be leveled against those who kept recordings, and did not comment on whether the incident was prior restraint.

Marie Luise Auguste Petersen (31 July 1816 – 30 June 1859) was a German author famous for her fairy tale Princess Ilse.

Petersen came from a well off family of pharmacists in Frankfurt (Oder). Her grandfather, the "university pharmacist" Friedrich Petersen had since 1780 worked at the apothecary "Zur Goldenen Kugel." His second son, Karl later took over the business, marrying Wilhelmine (née Dionysius), and Marie Petersen was the first child of this union.

Shortly after her birth, Petersen developed a chronically deformed spinal curvature, and orthopedic institutions in Berlin were unable to correct the condition. Upon the death of Petersen's mother in 1834, her father sold his pharmacy in order to devote himself to the care and upbringing of his children. He remarried, and his second wife, Amalie, transformed the household into one of the most musical in Frankfurt. Marie lived modestly and withdrawn and received a well-rounded education, earning her the esteem of her contemporaries.

Because of her illness, Marie rarely left her hometown. In 1851, she made one journey in the Harz mountains, the catalyst for her literary activity. A travel letter she had sent to a relative under the title Prinzessin Ilse was published anonymously in 1852 as A Fairy Tale from the Harz Mountains. The story was widely successful, but Petersen's identity as the author only appeared in the twelfth edition, this time published with an additional tale. It was also translated into both English and French.

Marie did not live to see the great success of her two stories. She died in 1859 after a slight inflammation proved too much for her weak body.

The Arsenal home kit
The origins of Arsenal's kit tell a great and unusual story.
In 1886, before the Club became professional, a small group of Nottingham Forest players, Fred Beardsley, Bill Parr and Charlie Bates, joined Dial Square FC, (the Club's first name) and brought their old red kit along with them.
Working to a tight budget, the Club decided the most inexpensive way of acquiring a strip was to kit out the team in the same colour as the ex-Forest players. This original kit comprised a dark red shirt with long sleeves, a collar and three buttons down the front. The shirt was worn with white knee length shorts and heavy woollen socks with blue and white hoops. The goalkeeper wore the same attire apart from the shirt, which was a hand knitted cream woollen polo neck jumper.
It was this dark red kit that the team wore during their first season at Highbury in 1913/14. Beardsley, Parr and Bates' generosity in providing shirts and inspiring the Club to play in red encouraged several other teams to follow Arsenal's lead. One of the most famous examples is Sparta Prague whose president, Dr Petric, visited London in 1906. He returned home to Czechoslovakia after having watched Woolwich Arsenal and was so inspired by the kit that he demanded his team play in the same colours. Today, Sparta Prague continue to play in the same dark red kit, not dissimilar to Arsenal's 2005/06 redcurrant.
Arsenal shirts from the 1932, 1927 and 1930 FA Cup Finals
It was the arrival of manager Herbert Chapman, the 'Great Innovator', in 1925 that launched the Arsenal kit as we know it today. Depending on which source you believe, Chapman either noticed someone at the ground wearing a red sleeveless sweater over a white shirt or played golf with famous cartoonist of the day Tom Webster, who wore something similar. Either way, the 'look' inspired the manager to create a new strip combining a red shirt with white collar and sleeves. It also incorporated the Club badge, which was positioned on the left-hand side of the shirt.
In the 1950s a second kit was developed to combat any clash of colours with opposing home teams wearing similar kits. And, in around 1960, the Club moved away from the woven rugby shirt style to a new knitted cotton jersey.
"It was the arrival of manager Herbert Chapman, the 'Great Innovator', in 1925 that launched the Arsenal kit as we know it today. It is said that Chapman noticed someone at the ground wearing a red sleeveless sweater over a white shirt which inspired the manager to create a new strip combining a red shirt with white collar and sleeves."
The Club's famous cannon graphic appeared on the shirt for the first time in 1967. It was with this shirt that Arsenal won their first famous 'double', both the League Championship and the FA Cup in the 1970/71 season. In the late 1970s, the shirt featured a kit manufacturer's logo for the first time, in this case 'Umbro'. And in 1981 'JVC' became the Club's first shirt sponsor, eventually making way for 'Dreamcast' in 2000.
Two years later and 'O2' replaced the games company before 'Fly Emirates' took up the sponsorship in 2006. A deal which will last for eight years. In the 2005/06 season, to commemorate the Club's final campaign at Highbury, the home of Arsenal since 1913, the Gunners wore a special 'redcurrant' shirt. Designed to honour the colour of the Club's set of shirts for the first season at Highbury, they were adorned with gold lettering and accompanied by white shorts and redcurrant socks.

For season 2006/07, the first at Emirates Stadium, a welcome return to the famous red and white was made - although the redcurrant remains to some extent in subsequent strips.
In 2007/08 the Club launched a white-shirted away kit with redcurrant shorts, designed to pay tribute to the influence of Herbert Chapman on the Club, alongside a redcurrant and navy third kit which was believed to be Arsenal's first-ever striped effort. The Chapman-inspired kit sparked reminders that he first introduced white sleeves to the Gunners' shirts, and also pioneered the design of hooped socks - which he believed would help players recognise one another more easily.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of winning the title at Anfield, the yellow and blue away kit was modelled on that which was worn on that famous night on May 26, 1989. For 2009/10, the away kit features a 'midnight blue' design, including a polo collar inspired by those worn by the all-conquering side of the 1930s. In common with the current home kit, it bears the Club's motto, 'Victoria Concordia Crescit', inside its neck.The 125th anniversary home shirts for the 2011/12 season capture the spirit and history of Arsenal Football Club, the new home shirt features a bespoke crest to highlight the proud origins of the Club 125 years ago.

Founded in Woolwich in 1886 and called The Royal Arsenal, the celebratory design features 15 laurel leaves to the left side of the Club's crest to reflect the detail on the reverse of the six pence pieces paid by 15 men to establish the Club - the laurel leaves also represent strength. The 15 oak leaves to the right of the crest acknowledge the founders who would meet in the local Royal Oak pub. Underneath the crest is one of the first recorded mottos related to the armament and battle - 'Forward' - with the anniversary dates of 1886 and 2011 either side of the heart of the shirt.
The classic design is inspired by the 1970's strips and boasts a clean, refined look with a block red body and white sleeves with red speed stripe detail. The shorts are white with a red speed stripe. On the back of the shirt below the neck reads 'Arsenal', while inside the front, on the back of the crest, reads 'Victoria Concordia Crescit', ('Victory Through Harmony'), Arsenal's Latin motto, which was previously featured on earlier versions of their club crest between 1949 and 2002.
Arsenal's home kit for the 2012/2013 season features a blue hoop detail inspired by the home kit socks worn in the 1930s under legendary manager Herbert Chapman.
As is traditional with the north London club, the world renowned red and white is the main colour way in the shirt, with a block red body and white sleeves.
Further details in the shirt include the outer back neck graphic which references the WM formation that Chapman pioneered so successfully, along with the inner back graphic which reads "Victoria, Concordia, Crescit" - the Club's long-held motto since 1948 which translates as Victory through Harmony.
The origins of the blue (obsidian) design features lie in Chapman's innovative approach to the game. Arsenal manager between 1925 and 1934, his guidance took the Club to three league titles and an FA cup victory during that time.
Chapman was a modernising tactician, advocated the use of numbered shirts and white balls, and also made significant changes to the Club's kit for the 1933/34 season. In that year white sleeves were added to the previously all-red shirt and blue hoops were also introduced to the socks. Chapman's rationale for these innovations was he wanted to maximise player visibility, making it easier for his players to pick each other out on the field of play.
The shirt's crest reverts back to Arsenal's primary design, having sported a unique 125th anniversary version for the 2011/12 season. The kit was used for two seasons.

The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) is making $157 million in funding available as part of its Accountable Health Communities Model, which aims to bridge clinical care and the delivery of social services that may affect health care outcomes, including housing instability, food insecurity, transportation needs.
Housing instability, hunger, interpersonal violence, and transportation needs affect individuals' health, but they are not typically addressed during health care-related visits. Over time, though, these unmet social needs may increase the risk of developing chronic conditions and may reduce an individual's ability to manage these conditions. Ultimately, not helping a patient with these social services may result in avoidable illness, health care visits, and costs.

The Accountable Health Communities (AHC) Model aims to bridge clinical care and the delivery of social services that may affect health care outcomes, including housing instability, food insecurity, transportation needs. In January 2016, the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation (CMMI) announced $157 million in funding to test the AHC model to determine whether screening for health-related social needs and helping patients access community-based services will improve quality and affordability of care provided by Medicare and Medicaid programs. This is the first model tested by CMMI to focus on the health-related social needs of patients served by Medicare and Medicaid.
CMMI is currently selecting the first of 44 "bridge organizations." The award recipients (bridging organizations) will serve as cross- coordinating hubs: identifying and partnering with clinical delivery sites; conducting social needs screenings; making referrals and coordinating connections to community service providers; and aligning partners to optimize community capacity to address health-related social needs. Additionally, the bridge organizations will all use a common, comprehensive screening assessment to identify unmet health-related social needs (housing instability and quality; food insecurity, utility needs, interpersonal violence, and transportation needs) among all Medicare and Medicaid patients seen at participating clinical delivery sites (e.g., hospital, primary care, and behavioral health services).
Efforts then center on coordinating and connecting at-risk beneficiaries with appropriate community service providers. Over five years CMMI will test a three-track model increasing alignment of services.
ACH participants generally include health and long-term services and supports providers, health insurers, public health agencies, school districts, criminal justice agencies, non-profit social service agencies, legal services organizations, tribes, and philanthropic agencies.
Community access to socially supportive peer groups.

The search continues in Yosemite National Park for missing hiker George Penca, who was last seen at the top of Yosemite Falls on Friday, June 17. Due to the fact that the area has been thoroughly searched by personnel and dogs, the terrain is rugged and steep, and no clues have been found, search efforts are being scaled back.
Penca, from Hawthorne, California, began hiking the Upper Yosemite Fall Trail on June 17 with a group of 20 people from his church. The group dispersed at the top of the waterfall and later regrouped to hike back to Yosemite Valley. Penca did not meet back up with the group and a missing persons report was filed later that night.

Mysteries in a World That Thinks There Are None by Gary McDowell
November 17, 2016 in Review
Mysteries in a World that Thinks There Are None
Gary McDowell
Burnside Review Press
The first thing I did after reading Mysteries in a World That Thinks There are None was look up works by Eric Fischl. I had not been acquainted with his work before and McDowell refers to him regularly in his poems. After an Internet gallery stroll, I felt like I'd been touring a family photo album, yet embedded in its snapshots were overlays of the human unconscious brought to light, filling it sometimes with violence and sexual innuendo that the eyes don't often see in pictures reminiscent of a vacation slide show.
I felt a connection between Fischl's work and McDowell's. McDowell's poems also depict the poignantly normal things of many middle-class American households—marriage, kids, pets, vacations—but as I read closer I experienced the overlay, similar to Fischl's paintings. They tell also of the subconscious drives and actions of day-to-day life, which are sometimes a ubiquitous mystery, sometimes full of the kind of ache and discomfort a person wants to look away from, and sometimes full of so much pain and loss.
When I read McDowell's work, I experienced feelings in me that had nowhere else to go so they settled on the poems. The poems both stirred and mediated my uncertainty. Do I relate with his experience? Do I agree? Or is it not up to me at all? Are these words just so raw that I don't get to pick my truth apart from anyone else's even if I want to?
"I must repent for this summer I've spent beyond creatures,
for the mysteries I've seen in a world
that thinks there are none, a world where we've named things —
garage, fence, robin, poem — so that we can feel
something when we destroy them." (73)
I was drawn in continually by McDowell's use of language and story. My favorite poem, if I could pick one, was "Simple Objects," which illustrates the daily practice of folding origami and includes a confession of not knowing how to fold a paper airplane.
"My palms trained to ghost what they held,
my knuckles trained to resist showing strain,
to forgive what pushed against them,
and still I couldn't crease paper into unnatural shapes,
Into folded flying machines.
It wasn't about strength, but misdirection,
which takes a lifetime to master." (82)
Some early poems in this book ask questions: "What do animals call themselves amongst themselves? What do they call us?"; "What makes soap lather? What makes us fall out of love? With ourselves. With each other." (p15) They speak more of youth and wonder and heartache, reverie and philosophy.
Then the energy of his expression seems to speed up and deepen at once in Chapter 3 with titles spawning from the preceding poems: "The Summer with Fischl" speaks of repenting, "Repent" speaks of obsession, and "Dear Obsessions" tells us "obsession begins and ends with questions" (79). And on the final page I am left with my own questions: How do beauty and suffering exist so closely, without warfare between them? How and why do we survive this paradox? A mystery, I suppose, in a world that thinks there are none.

Girl's 25-foot plunge from chairlift caught on video
A child's ski lift ride in Indiana ended with a terrifying 25-foot plunge into a tarp held by staffers at Perfect North Slopes.
The youngster is seen hanging on for dear life as another child remains precariously perched on the seat with a woman frantically trying to prevent them from falling.
The frightening scene was captured on video by Adam Browning of Cincinnati, Ohio.
"Anyone who skis regularly will tell you there are always general shenanigans when you board the lift," he told Caters News. "You'll see people fall, lose equipment, etc. It's basically ground zero to spot the inexperienced."
Browning said he noticed the emergency in Lawrenceburg on Feb. 18 when he heard the woman on the chair scream.
"You could tell she was absolutely terrified," he said. "I was in my chair with two kids and we all turned around just as the lift stopped. The chair was about 20 to 25 feet above the ground, and the woman was screaming for help as she was desperately holding onto the chair with one hand, and the child with the other."
He said a group of ski resort workers grabbed a red tarp and held it under the dangling girl.
"The entire time, the woman was freaking out, screaming, yelling, 'Please help!' One of the staff members was trying to calm her, and told her the only option was to let go of the girl who was slipping off the chair," he said.
"She did, and they caught her. The woman on the chair repeatedly asked the girl if she was OK. She said yes, and everyone let out a big sigh of relief."
Browning said the lift resumed after it was determined that the girl was all right.

SAP has rolled out the 2.6 release of its SaaS (software-as-a-service) suite Business ByDesign, which contains a highly anticipated SDK (software development kit) that partners will use to create extensions and add-ons.
Some 250 customers are now using ByDesign, and that number should grow to 1,000 this year, SAP has said. That represents a much less ambitious goal than the original one of 10,000 customers and $1 billion in revenue by 2010.
SAP won't be able to drive enough demand to reach those thresholds without a strong partner programme, which will uncover what customers really want from the product, suggested independent analyst Jon Reed. "A lot of the most important industry add-ons are going to come directly from customer feedback and need."
Pricing for ByDesign starts at £97 per user per month. As for partner-developed software, SAP has finalised a revenue-sharing model but is not yet sharing those details publicly, Horak said.

Grow a 100-Year-Old Food Forest in Your Backyard in Just 10 Years
Posted By: admin October 16, 2018
Engineer develops method for growing mature, dense food forests in just 10 years
Most of the world we live in today was once forest, our natural habitat for millions of years.
Now surrounded by cities and agriculture, humans are no longer living in their "natural" habitat, argues a forest-building engineer named Shubhendu Sharma.
But we can recreate little chunks of that habitat in just ten years our own backyards, workplaces and public spaces, he explains in the Ted Talk below:
Shubhendu Sharma was an industrial engineer for Toyota hired to offset some of the carbon emissions of the company's factories.
His solution was to plant mini forests right next door. Since then his company Afforest has helped "build" 75 such forests in 25 cities across the world.
Sharma's forests grow 10 times faster, are 100 times more biodiverse and 30 times more lush than typical reforestation projects.
He used his model for manufacturing as many cars as possible per square feet of factory space and applied it to growing trees.
His methods enable him to grow a 300-tree forest in the space of 6 parked cars.
Amazingly, the cost of growing a forest is roughly the same as an iPhone.
"We discovered every single element needed to make a forest is right around us," Sharma said. "All we have to do is bring these elements together and let nature take over."
"We start with soil. We touch, feel and even taste it to identify what properties it lacks."
Next, his company mixes in local biomass — compost, manure, etc. — to help compacted soil become more porous and allow water to seep in.
"If the soil is lacking nutrients, we don't just add nutrients directly to the soil — that's the industrial way," he says.
Instead, he adds microorganisms that feed on the biomass and convert it into more bioavailable nutrients.
"As the number of microorganisms grows, the soil starts breathing again," he says. "It becomes alive."
When planning a mini forest, Sharma's company starts by determining which tree species were native to the area before human intervention.
Then they decide whether they want a fruit forest, a flower forest, a forest that attracts a lot of birds or bees, or an evergreen forest, and chose different species for each layer — canopy, tree layer, sub tree layer and shrubs.
Then, they collect the seeds, germinate the saplings, and plant them in a tight-knit pattern that intersperses the various species.
Next, they spread a thick layer of mulch to hold in moisture during the summer and protect the soil from frost during the winter.
This makes for extremely soft soil, allowing roots to penetrate and grow quickly.
Within 3 months the roots reach one meter deep and form a mesh holding the soil together. Microbes and fungi make nutrients available to the roots.
The forest is watered and weeded for two to three years, but as the forest grows it blocks the sunlight and weeds stop growing.
Shortly after this, the canopy becomes so dense, the forest retains every drop of water, eliminating the need for watering.
The forest floor remains moist and dark, enabling leaves to decay quickly and become food for the soil. As more and more leaves fall, creating more and more food for the soil, the forest starts growing exponentially, Sharma says.
"If the tree species were planted independently, they wouldn't grow so fast," he says. "This is how we create a hundred year old forest in just ten years." Source.


Already we can feel the chill in the air that has us reaching for warmer clothes.
One of our favourite winter staples is a cosy jumper - but with the good weather lasting a bit longer, we're not such big fans of our granny's Aran knit.
However, Penneys have a huge range of jumpers to help ease us into the autumnal style.
We are particular fans of a red stripe jumper they have in stores right now.
It's ideal for a quick coffee with friends, just style it with a black blazer and cropped jeans.
You can even wear the red jumper to work with a smart pair of black cigarette pants.
The striped jumper is also available in yellow, both for €8.
Stripes are definitely the big trend for autumn with celebrities such as Kathryn Thomas rocking the pattern.
At the recent RTE new season launch, the presenter stepped out in a striped polo collar dress.
Kathryn kept her accessories very simple, making the dress the main focus.
She had her short blonde hair down in loose waves and went accessory free, bar a pair of statement sunnies.
The new mother added some extra elegance to her outfit with a pair of white strappy heels.
If you fancy stealing her look, we found a very similar style for just €20 - find it here.

Brewer, Walls highlight Mississippi Sports HOF class
Rick Cleveland
Only in Mississippi will you see two men inducted into the state's sports hall of fame after they have been inducted into the national College Football Hall of Fame.
That's because Mississippi athletes continue to achieve on a national and international level. That's the case with both Sean Brewer and Wesley Walls, who have gone into the national college football shrine shrine over the last couple of years and will go into the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame this Saturday night in the ceremonies at the Jackson Convention Complex.
Brewer and Walls are two members of a diverse and accomplished MSHOF Class of 2016, joining basketball coach Kay James, football coach Jackie Sherrill, basketball standout Larry Smith and football pioneer Willie Heidelberg. I am proud to have witnessed and chronicled all six and have personal memories of each.
Walls was one of those guys you knew was destined for greatness the first time you saw him: tall, rangy, strong and fast. And then you interviewed him and learned he had all the intangibles as well. He was so good at Ole Miss, he starred on both sides of the ball as a tight end and defensive end. In the NFL, he concentrated on the tight end role and caught 450 passes and 54 touchdowns over a 15-year career, despite many and varied injuries. Walls caught his last professional touchdown pass from 2015 MSHOF inductee Brett Favre in 2003.
Brewer was a three-time All-American at Millsaps, so good the national award for the most outstanding lineman in NCAA D-III is now the Sean Brewer Trophy. The son of Mississippi Sports Hall of Famer Johnny Brewer, Sean was the most dominant defensive player I ever covered at any level of football. (A couple Saturdays back then, I skipped the Division I games to go watch Brewer play.) He lived in the other team's backfield, completely disrupted offenses. He would have been a star at the Division I level, just three or four inches shorter than most.
Alcorn State and NBA basketball standout Larry Smith ranks as surely one of the most relentless rebounders and defenders in this state's — or any state's — history. Mr. Mean, they called him, because he never smiled once he crossed onto the basketball floor. Larry played with an intensity so characteristic of those great Alcorn teams of Hall of Famer Davey Whitney. He believed every rebound, every loose ball belonged to him, and, in the end, they usually did. Smith starred in one of the most famous basketball games in Magnolia State history and scored the winning basket in Alcorn's historic NIT win over Mississippi State at Starkville in 1979.
Kay James came to USM after winning a small college championship at Berry (Ga.) College. Then-USM president Aubrey Lucas had experienced women's basketball success when he held the same job at Delta State. He wanted to duplicate that success at USM, so he asked the late, great Hall of Famer Margaret Wade, whom he should hire. Coach Wade suggested he should hire James, a Gulfport native. And that's what Lucas did to his everlasting credit. James, whose teams played an up-tempo, entertaining style, won 403 games over 20 seasons and garnered 10 postseason bids.
Jackie Sherrill played his high school football in Biloxi, where Bear Bryant went to recruit him for the Alabama Crimson Tide. Sherrill played seven positions at Bama and starred on two national championship teams. Even so, it is for his coaching that he lands in the MSHOF. He won big at Pittsburgh and Texas A&M before coming to Mississippi State where he became one of the most beloved figures in Hail State athletic history. Sherrill remains the only Mississippi coach to take a team to the SEC Championship Game. Through it all, he was a sports writer's dream, whether he was turning a bull into a steer or stirring the pot with rival coaches.
Last and least (but only size-wise) is Willie Heidelburg, known as Wee Willie, who at 143 pounds became the first African American to make a huge splash at one of Mississippi's historically white schools. After a two-year hall of fame career at Pearl River Community College, Heidelburg earned a scholarship at USM. There, he famously scored two touchdowns in USM's historic, 30-14 victory over Ole Miss in 1970. Hamp Cook, another Mississippi Sports Hall of Famer, was the USM offensive line coach at the time. Said Hamp, "I couldn't wait to get back home and watch the film and see how my guys blocked on Willie's two touchdowns. Hell, we didn't block any of them. Willie just dodged them all."
Ben Williams, Ole Miss' first black football star, and Mississippi State's Frank Dowsing have preceded Heidelburg, who died in 2013, into the Hall of Fame. All are so deserving. Somebody had to be first. They were, showing the way for the multitudes of great African American athletes who have followed.

How Pink Slime Caught This Company On The Wrong Side of Social Media.
Why Beef Products, Inc. Was Blindsided By Jaime Olivier, ABC News, Social Media & The Pink Slime Epidemic
Today ABC News ran a follow up segment to its reporting on Beef Products, Inc.and the extra-lean ground beef product it markets, that Jaime Oliver coined as "Pink Slime." Also today Beef Products Inc. (BPI), who had long been silent about the controversy stirred by Oliver on his ABC program Food_Revolution last April.

Pink Slime is a process invented by BPI that recovers and removes fat from trimmings and other parts of the cow. It does this by sending the trimmings through a centrifuge and then eliminates any chance of macrobiotic organisms existing such as e coli by treating it with an ammonia gas. Oliver in his charming British accent unleashes several profanities (which gets bleeped out for air on network television) when referring to the the resulting meat product, which gets added to extra-lean ground beef. Later he simply refers to it as Pink Slime.
To demonstrate his distaste for the product and process Oliver takes meat trimmings and pours household ammonia, complete with the skull and cross-bones on the label, onto the meat trimmings and then runs them through a meat grinder. Though he admits he doesn't know the "formula" for the process, the demonstration is effective. In reality, however, the process used by BPI is 180 degrees from what Oliver espouses to his wide audience on national television. The demonstration is misleading and, in my opinion, unfair.
Though Oliver isn't the first person to bring the world's attention to BPI's process and pink slime, but he's certainly the most visible. The pink slime moniker was originally given to BPI's beef by Gerald Zirnstein, a former U.S.D.A. microbiologist in a 2002 e-mail sent to his colleagues. Along with Oliver and with the help of social media and investigative reporting by ABC News, pressure mounted against major grocery chains, fast food restaurants and schools to identify and label this beef, or stop selling it altogether. This intense pressure let to the top fast-food chains and and grocery stores to decide to stop carrying the product. This week the country's two largest grocery chains, Kroger and Safeway, announced they would stop selling the beef and Wal-Mart & Sam's Club will give consumers a choice — meat with or without pink slime. There will be a price difference.
So today in a national press conference, BFI announced that it will temporarily close 3 of the 4 plants that make the so-called "pink slime" and offer its employees full pay for 60 days. Afterward, it believes that consumers will be educated, have a better understanding of the product and then demand will return and it will call these employees back to work.
(Re) Acting Too Late: Classic Public Relations & Social Media Fiasco
Whether or not all the fuss over this treated beef is warranted or not, this case is a perfect example of a company that underestimated the power of social media and ignored the snowballing effect it had on public opinion and its business until it was too late.
At the press conference, Regina Rother, BPI owner and wife of pink slime process inventor, Eldon Roth said it was time the company fought back. "We got to attack just the way it was generated [the awareness], and that is through that social media world," Roth confided. "It is not a world I'm particularly familiar with," she admitted. "I never thought I was going to have to. But it's out there, it's how it spread," Roth realized. "There's so much misinformation and all we can do is try to arm them with the facts, do it in a rational way, do it in a respectful way."
As a major supplier of hamburger meat to the largest fast food chains and supermarkets, BPI should have mounted its attack and response long ago. Currently hundreds of jobs are at stake, and if you believe the latest media, the supply of ground beef will shrink and prices will rise.
It's evident that BPI finally engaged the support of a PR firm and is working hard to dispel the negative perception that has grown since Oliver first poured household ammonia on meet trimmings nearly a year ago. For a company that has a stellar safety record in food processing and according to consumer and industry experts and watch associations, runs the cleanest plants in the business, it's too bad that BPI didn't see this coming.
This is a perfect case-study example of a business not prepared and nor engaged in social business and social media. I'm not sure if BPI will ever fully recover or if its employees will return to work any time soon. I do know that last April it should have started an integrated social media and PR program.
Seven Ways Social Media Messages Could Have Helped Beef Products Inc.— A Year Ago*
YouTube. Establish a YouTube Channel and several layers of video content including:
– Engaging fun video program series that is people oriented that focuses on product safety and health benefits of reducing fat content in meat
– Produce a very basic science class exploration of its patented process that produces pink slime
– Create a documentary film that enlists third-party experts from the fields of academia, science, industry and government
– Reposition the name Pink Slime and rebrand it as enhanced or safety meat or something that focuses on the benefit (safe and healthy), not the process. (Note: BPI did create a YouTube channel but content to address the current crisis was first posted_just_two_weeks_ago , or nearly a year after Oliver's program aired on ABC.)BPI or industry insiders coined a rather unfriendly term for the product as "lean finely textured beef" (LFTB)
Build Trust. Open Up. Extend a public and open invitation to Jaime Oliver, other culinary stars, the media and influential food bloggers to visit its factory. Focus on the safety benefits of its ammonia gas process and highlight chemical differences between it and what Jaime Oliver used and demonstrated. It's likely that Oliver would not accept the invitation, but the opportunity to talk to bloggers, media and other highly visible chefs would have provided significant content to distribute through major social networks. Also, invite industry watch-guard groups, bring them to the factories, demonstrate the process. Build trust and be open.
Take Chances. Challenge the experts. Since Oliver says pink slime is not beef, challenge scientists, chefs and others to test and compare. Drive interest through Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
Be positive, not negative. Offensive, not defensive. Focus on positive messages. Safe meat is healthier meat. Over the past several years there have been a number of highly visible food recalls related to sanitary and other conditions. If true, focus on track record and compare against other industry recalls and bouts with bacteria including chicken, eggs and cheese—have processes developed by BPI help control potentially lethal problems stemming from Mad Cow disease, e coli, bird flu or others? If the safety record of BPI is clean and perfect, it must take this message and and use it as an advantage. Instead of defensive communications, it must remain positive and highlight consumer benefits. Note: Just two months ago BPI posted its first video (that I can identify) on YouTube. It tried to address this message, but it ignored the Oliver problem and instead tried to focus on safety. This video was rather sterile, academic and not interesting or engaging.
Blog. BPI should have used its own blog and blogs of key employees to communicate in a voice that it otherwise cannot use in traditional corporate PR — like its current campaign. It could have called attention to the inaccuracies, misinformation and the problems with the Oliver and ABC reporting. Through blog it could counter the effect of mounting public opinion without appearing defensive. It should have created micro sites to communicate key messages about the quality of the beef, health and safety messages and address any inaccuracies in reporting and opinion through fact checking and polling.
Visible Commenting. It could have established a comment program allowing it to address false information and calling attention to content that propogates misinformation—blogs, YouTube videos and major media outlet websites.
Engage Locals & Employees. Show that BPI is community focused and get them to admit that they work with BPI and know the process inside out and communicate the fact they feed their family and children Pink Slime enhanced meat without fear or worry.
Sure, this is all in hindsight. However, if BPI had its eyes and ears on social networks and observing the social media activity about its company, it would have spotted a trend and could have implemented a number of these social media tactics to counter the misinformation, negativity and barrage that has occurred.
Learn Crisis PR & Social Media From Apple
In other words, it could have attacked the problem inasmuch as Apple did with the mounting attack on workers, conditions and human rights violations that were lodged against it by Mike Daisy and in a series of articles in the New York Times.
Disclaimer. I am no expert on pink slime, BPI or the process invented by the company. The purpose of this post is to highlight classic errors made by a company caught in a crisis. Without a handle on social media, networks and its public affairs, BPI is suffering from its own communications negligence. Also, I have no opinion on BPI products. I haven't had a hamburger or consumed ground beef in more than six months.

Lower Mekong in transition: unpacking the trends of forest trade
By Akiko Inoguchi and Lyndall Bull
FAST READ
Regional dynamics of investment and trade play an important role in determining land use change. They can act as drivers of forest degradation and deforestation or they can shift these trends positively.
In this article, authors Akiko Inoguchi and Lyndall Bull investigate the evolution of trade in primary and secondary wood products within the Lower Mekong.
By understanding the drivers of intra- and extra-regional trade in wood products, we can develop more targeted policies to minimise illegal harvesting, illegal trade and their impacts on forest degradation and deforestation. This can also help in the development of policies that support a legal and sustainable pathway for a robust forest industry in the region.
Introducing the countries
The five Lower Mekong countries fall into two distinct camps: Viet Nam and Thailand are wood processing and export hubs; and the remaining three countries (Lao PDR, Myanmar and Cambodia) are in transition from a forest sector based primarily on the export of unprocessed timber from natural forests to a more sustainable and robust forest industry based on plantations.
China looms in the background of all countries as an important, and until the recent past, a dominant destination for wood exports from Lower Mekong countries.
Figure 1: China imports of tropical logs (including plantations) from the Lower Mekong countries, by volume, 2010-2020, by country of origin
Introducing the Trends
The trade of wood products in the Lower Mekong has undergone significant change over the past decade with four dominant trends.
Decreased exports of primary wood products from natural forests
Over the last decade, there has been a dramatic plunge in the export of primary wood products sourced from the natural forests of Myanmar and Lao PDR. Log exports from the region totalled 3.5 million m3 and were valued at close to $2 billion US in 2013, the peak year. Since 2017, log exports have dropped to minimal levels from both countries. These trends indicate both sustainability concerns and opportunities.
Figure 2: Log exports by destination for:
(a) Myanmar
(b) Lao PDR
The primary driver of the plunge in exports is likely the exploitation and depletion of the resource base, particularly of commercially valuable species such as rosewood and natural teak. Much of the commercially valuable natural forest timber may have already been extracted. Whether or not this can be corroborated with data collected from the national forest inventories may be worth review.
The observed decline in production of primary wood products from natural forests may also be due to the effectiveness of national policies designed to decrease such trade.
In Myanmar, a log export ban, implemented in April, 2014, sought to increase domestic processors' access to raw material. A ban was also imposed on other timber exports to increase the efficiency of enforcement by preventing cross-border trade. A one-year moratorium on logging across the country and a ban on non-competitive timber sales have also been imposed since 2016, restricting exports of logs.
In Lao PDR, policy instruments aimed at curbing unsustainable and illegal practices in natural forests have existed for some time. These instruments were intended to reduce deforestation and redirect the export of unprocessed wood products to support the development of the domestic wood processing industry; however, they generally had little effect. In 2016, the government issued Prime Minister Order 15 (PMO 15) which prohibited the export of unprocessed timber from natural forests and restricted domestic trade in wood products, including from plantations.
Optimistically, with these policy instruments in place, there may now be the resolve to increase the sustainable timber trade across the Lower Mekong.
In Lao PDR for instance, media reports on illegal logging related events might not have ceased, but have reduced in the past five years. However, political turmoil in Myanmar, combined with the COVID pandemic, suggest the need for continued vigilance.
The emergence of Viet Nam and Thailand as global hubs of wood products trade
Viet Nam's exports have surged over the last four years, with veneer predominantly shipped to China and tropical plywood and wooden furniture mainly to the United States. In 2020, with the country's early control of the pandemic enabling a quick resumption of production and exports, Viet Nam was able to capture a surge in demand from the United States.
Exports are manufactured from a combination of domestic and imported fibre. Viet Nam's imports of primary products from Lao PDR, Myanmar and Cambodia have declined considerably and have been replaced by supplies from the African region. There is, on the other hand, an increasing trend of forest trade in plantation timber and fibre, including from Lower Mekong sourcing countries.
Figure 3: Viet Nam: Exports of wooden furniture, by value, 2010-2020, by country of destination
In Thailand, no legal timber harvests in natural forests have been allowed since 1989. The focus on domestic harvest has shifted to plantations. Thailand now has a strong export industry based on sawnwood produced from rubberwood plantations. These plantations cover more than 3.7 million ha, with 90% of production being exported to China, mainly as sawnwood (Figure 4) and to a lesser extent, wooden furniture. Thailand is also a major exporter of wood-based panels, particularly MDF and particleboard which are based on plantation grown wood, including rubberwood. In 2020, the rubberwood industry was severely impacted by Covid-19 restrictions in the furniture manufacturing industry in China.
Figure 4: Thailand exports of tropical sawnwood, 2010-2020, by volume, by country of destination
The ongoing importance of China in the regional wood products trade
China is an important destination for many wood products produced in the LMR region because of both the significant domestic consumption of wood products and the size of the wood processing industry for re-export. One species of particular note is rosewood. China's demand for LMR rosewood has been dampened in recent years by escalating prices, resulting in part from improved control on export of CITES-listed species and the availability of less costly substitute species from Africa.
Rosewood species that have been exported from LMR countries include Dalbergia cochinchinensis and Dalbergia oliveri, both of which have been listed in CITES Appendix II since 2016.
Figure 5. Value of China imports of "rosewood" logs by major country of origin, 2008-2020
Increasing the role of forest trade governance and certification to improve sustainable trade
Trade and forest governance mechanisms will need to be put in place in order to pave the way for a sustainable regional forest industry that is also a source of green jobs. While there is still a ways to go, there are positive signs that Myanmar, Lao PDR and Cambodia are moving in the right direction.
For example, in addition to exiting national policies, Lao PDR is making progress in its negotiations with the EU on a Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) Voluntary Partnership Agreement (VPA).
Cambodia and Myanmar have also been active in implementing their respective FLEGT action plans. Currently, timber from natural forests will mostly be outside the scope of sustainable trade, with the exception of conversion timber which remains a significant source of unsustainable timber.
Within the Lower Mekong, voluntary commitments from the forest industry on sustainable production and legal trade are increasing, including corporate actions to comply with international forest certification standards. As well, developments in all three countries are being made to advance the development of national forest certification systems and infrastructure.

Q: How to get the total disc space occupied by the list of files I have about 1000 very large files (each more than 5 GB). These files have either .bam .cram, .fastq.gz, .fq extensions (which I do not know). I just have these lists, for example,
list.txt:
A-ADC-AD000856
A-ADC-AD000884
A-ADC-AD000910
A-ADC-AD000937
A-ADC-AD000946

and they could be have other file formats as well:
A-ADC-AD000856.bam
A-ADC-AD000856.gvcf.gz
A-ADC-AD000856.vcf
A-ADC-AD000884.cram
A-ADC-AD000884.vcf
A-ADC-AD000910.bam
A-ADC-AD000910.g.vcf
A-ADC-AD000937.fq
A-ADC-AD000946.fastq.gz
A-ADC-AD000946.vcf

I was trying locate with something like this below, but is there a better approach and get the total size of these files in GB?
TotalSize={}
for line in `cat list.txt`; do
GetFile="$(locate $line | egrep "bam|cram|fastq|fastq.gz|fq.gz|fq")"
size="$(wc -c $GetFile)"
TotalSize=$(($size+$TotalSize))
done

A: I ended up doing something like this:
for line in `cat list.txt`; do
# echo "Doing file: $line"
GetFile="$(locate $line | egrep 'bam|cram|fastq|fastq.gz|fq.gz|fq')"
size="$(du -ch $GetFile | tail -1 | cut -f 1)"
echo "$GetFile,$size" >> "/total_files.txt"
done

Then I can sum the value on spreadsheet.

What I always surprise when I am in Kyoto / Osaka and Tokyo is the availability of so-called priority seats.
They are often available for people with disability, regarding how crowded the train is... And this time is no exception.
This JR train carries full of tourists who are going back to Kyoto. I get on the train last to avoid being pushed or disturbed, expecting to stand whole way to Kyoto, but no one takes the priority seat and standing on the train!
Well, I took the seat and figuring out why the seat is available... do they think there would be someone like me who appreciates the seat, or they have typical Japanese comformity that they should not take a priority seat if no one is taking? It is quite a mystery.
I was expecting to visit some tourists' favourite sightseeing spots like Rokuon-ji Kinkaku or Kiyomizu Temple, they told me they want to see monkeys at Arashiyama Monkey Park!
So, we went to Arashiyama.
The long and exhaustive length of stone stairs and hills, too harsh for a blind man to take steps!
While walking up on the path, my friend snapped a photo of me walking on a narrow path in autumn colour of Kyoto Arashiyama. I wish I could see the view.
After Climbing up the mountain, I finally arrived at the lookout that is much higher than the height of Kyoto Tower.
... and this is what waiting for me!
A hungry monkey! It was fun feeding him: I could feel him snatching a peanut from my hand!
After having some fun time with monkeys, we took a long and winding road down the mountain.
One of the things I really wanted to do with echolocation is... to find out whether it works in Tokyo. This time, I came to Shibuya to try it out, by walking from my hotel, crossing the world-famous Shibuya Hachiko crossing, then find the Hachiko statue!
Basically, all I have to do is walk down the hill, take crosswalks twice then find the statue.
I started clicking my tongue and sliding my long white cane., observing the echo bounced off from buildings and panel signs from my left.
Walking in crowded place is not as tough as I thought because, as my friend says, people who see my white cane voluntarily get out of way!
My cane still do pick up things like sign panels left on the sidewalk, illegalluy @parked bikes, and people feet, but I think I can handle the busy road pretty well if I make use of my tongue click echolocation and a long white cane, they give clear warning.
Now, I am in front of the world-famous Shibuya scramble crossing that people go everywhere. I can't use echolocation technique because there are nothing bounce off from if I make click sounds. Can I make it?
Then, I heard the loud noise of big screen from the back!
If I walk away from it, I am heading to the right direction!
Then, I started walking to cross.
After crossing the scramble crossing safely, I clicked my tongue loud to avoid people and getting close to the Hachiko Statue... and Voila!
After coming to Hachiko, I took a step to find a restaurant, someone stepped on my cane and broke it!
The witnesses told me he ran away as soon as he broke it!
Without cane, I can no longer practise perceptual mobility, so I asked my friend to guide me for the rest of the day.
After started getting around with echolocation and some help, I took the challenge: Going to Tokyo!
This time, I accumulated enough milesssss to fly round-trip to Tokyo, I am flying with Japan Airlines.
In mjor airports like Fukuoka, there is a designated check-in counter for passengers with disability. For JAL, it's calld JAL Smile Counter. At check-in counter. It was a busy morning rush hour, ground staff seem to be running around. And a person at check-in counter told me that the flight is full, and they will give me an involuntarily upgrade, though I will not get the normal meal service, which I gladly accepted.
a counter staff did the check-in process, and a JAL ground person guided me to the boarding gate. Not to mention, they were happy to guide me through the airport.
Then, I seated in JAL First Class cabin.
At the cruising altitude, some passengers, who I assume they paid for the first class fare, started receiving breakfast. At the same time, I could tell several people were waiting for food, including myself.
I started hearing some people slurping, so there must be some people received involuntarily upgrade!
When I leave the airplane, no one saw me off.

Cellular service is spotty along Highway 14 from Sooke to Port Renfrew. (File - Sooke News Mirror)
Vancouver Island south coast cell phone fix pushed back to 2022
Equipment and steel shortages, permits and challenging terrain has delayed Highway 14 project
Bailey Moreton
Spotty cell service along Vancouver Island's southwest coast won't be improving as early as planned.
The construction of seven towers to expand cellular service on a 70-kilometre stretch of Highway 14 from Sooke to Port Renfrew has been pushed back to 2022.
A spokesperson for Rogers Communications, the project's contractor, said crews are still building the towers.
"We remain dedicated to the completion of this important project as we address the global equipment and steel shortage, complexities of obtaining building permits as well as the challenging terrain in the area, and are on track to have coverage in service in 2022," he said in an email to Black Press Media.
There was no timeline for when work would be completed.
READ MORE: Cellular reception extending along Vancouver Island's south coast
When the program was announced in April, construction was scheduled to be completed by the end of October. Funding for the project came from Connecting British Columbia grant program. Rogers was given $4.9 million towards infrastructure costs.
More than 1,200 homes in the region are set to be connected to cellular service in Port Renfrew, Shirley, Otter Point, Jordan River and some Pacheedaht First Nation communities.
"I have property in Jordan River that I'm currently building a house on," Mike Morrison said in an email.
"I was hoping the cell service would be available by now so it would be easier to communicate and do research for the build while I'm out there. There are a lot of things to organize and deal with when building a house."
