EraCloud launches from Era Software
EraCloud,Launches,Era Software,EraSearch
https://appdevelopermagazine.com/images/news_images/EraCloud-launches-from-Era-Software-App-Developer-Magazine_mwis2qzr.jpg
Richard Harris in Cloud Services Tuesday, November 9, 2021
EraCloud launches from Era Software, which will help organizations manage petabytes of log data in real-time at up to 90% lower cost than alternatives. EraCloud also includes EraSearch, which will help organizations get from logs to analytics and insights in a short period of time.
Era Software, the company that helps enterprises observe cloud services and infrastructures, has announced the general availability of EraCloud, a software as a service (SaaS)-based offering that includes the EraSearch observability and analytics platform optimized for real-time, low-cost log management. In addition to EraSearch, EraCloud features administrative functions that help organizations move from logs to insights in seconds, without operational complexity.
"Our vision for EraCloud is to provide organizations with a one-stop solution for all its logging needs. As EraCloud evolves, modern IT teams will be able to ingest log data in any format, eliminating the need for pre-processing data or building and managing pipeline stages. It will help remove ingest delays while continuing to make data available in real-time for searching. Our goal is to help IT teams remove the operational burden and empower them to focus on contributing to their core business," says Todd Persen, co-founder and chief executive officer of Era Software.
Era Software is also announcing the availability of EraCloud through AWS Marketplace, a digital catalog to find, test, buy, and deploy software that runs on Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS). Enterprises now can collect, store, and analyze petabyte-scale log data in real-time to unlock new operational and business insights at up to 90% lower cost than alternatives while eliminating complexity.
"We are thrilled that our customers can now deploy EraCloud directly from AWS Marketplace. This will enable IT teams, to collaborate and innovate faster with unified access to all log data that will improve business outcomes. With fast ingest and query performance on high volume log data, IT teams can make data-driven business and operations decisions and dramatically reduce logging infrastructure costs, all while harnessing the power of AWS. Furthermore, we can deliver this value from EraCloud to AWS customers with a single click and simplified billing," says Todd Persen.
"We're excited to see Era Software in AWS Marketplace. Modern IT teams and customers can now unlock more critical insights even as data volumes continue to grow exponentially. They can now innovate faster while eliminating operational complexity, maximizing the value of their services from AWS," said Mona Chadha, director, AWS Marketplace Category Management at AWS.
Managing a Tsunami of Log Data in Cloud Native Environments
Existing tools, developed on legacy architectures built for the pre-cloud era, cannot handle the exponentially growing volumes of data. To manage and scale these tools, organizations need to either employ an army of engineers, pay an extremely high price tag, or both. Enterprises are often forced to make hard architectural decisions by choosing what data to collect, creating critical visibility gaps. As a result, organizations get overwhelmed, often lack a holistic strategy for managing logs, and end up with data silos and complexity, all of which hinder observability leading to negative business impact, and are stuck with an astronomical total cost of ownership (TCO).
EraCloud Unlocks More Critical Insights in Real-Time
EraCloud offers administrative functions which allow users to ascertain insights quickly from logs. EraCloud collects, indexes, and analyzes log data from cloud applications, Kubernetes, and infrastructures, enabling DevOps teams to deliver cloud services faster while achieving significant cost savings. With EraCloud featuring EraSearch, enterprises can provision EraSearch clusters in minutes and monitor billing.
New UI for EraSearch
Era Software is also announcing a new intuitive EraSearch user interface (UI) that enables engineering teams to troubleshoot, iterate, and isolate issues across the enterprise quickly. The new UI also allows Era Software's customers to create custom actionable alerts and proactively eliminate incidents.
One Free Terabyte of Log Data Credits for a Limited Time
To sign up for EraCloud, visit https://cloud.era.co/signup. For a limited time, new users that sign up by midnight Pacific Time on November 11th can get one free terabyte (1TB) of log data credits.
"As organizations transform and expand service offerings into cloud-native, geographically distributed, container and microservice-based architectures, the amount of log data generated, already in the petabyte per day range at some organizations, will start approaching exabyte levels. At this scale, collection, storage, and data analysis are very challenging."
"Logs are a key part of an observability-based monitoring strategy. It is possible to derive a large amount of monitoring information and value from a well-managed metrics strategy. However, logs should also be incorporated into a monitoring strategy to ensure that the "Why is the system broken?" question can be answered quickly."

Church Hill community accuses AEP of neglecting power line maintenance, causing outages
by: Jackie DeFusco
Posted: Dec 19, 2018 / 07:29 PM EST / Updated: Dec 20, 2018 / 08:59 AM EST
A Church Hill neighborhood says they're fed up with what they're calling prolonged, frequent power outages that some say they've been dealing with for decades.
Appalachian Power customers living along "Big Elm Road" said, despite persistent complaints, the company has neglected to maintain their power lines, burdened by overgrown trees and brush.
"It's complete negligence by the power company," said Jennifer Hawkins, who reached out to News Channel 11 to look into the problem.
Hawkins just moved to Church Hill in June of 2018 but she said she's had about six power outages since then.
Others, like Dianne Forbes, said they've been dealing with the problem for much longer. "I've lived here over forty years…We've been dealing with issues with Appalachian Power the whole time I've lived here," she said.
Neighbors said outages last for hours and often days.
They said it's not just when it snows.
"I mean it can rain three or four days and it goes out. The wind can blow really hard and it goes out," said Forbes.
"It's a never ending problem," said Bob and Tonya Greer, who have lived in Church Hill for seven years.
Neighbors said their attempts to get Appalachian Power to fix the problem of overgrown trees have been unsuccessful.
In an email Hawkins forwarded to News Channel 11, an Appalachian Power employee wrote, "Please understand things such as weather, fallen trees or equipment failure are out of our control and Appalachian Power does not guarantee electric service. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure they maintain a back-up system that can adequately serve your needs in the event of a power failure."
"They say they're not responsible for cutting off the trees, that we are," Forbes said she was told.
Appalachian Power Spokesperson John Shepelwich confirmed in a phone interview Wednesday that it's their company's responsibility to keep trees clear of the main line that runs from pole to pole, but not lines that connect to a person's house.
Their website also says that the company "will take immediate action to remove the tree if it identifies a climbable tree too close to a power line…a power line taken down by a tree branch, or through other means, poses a serious safety hazard."
Mount Carmel's fire department confirmed that a power line was the source of a fire on Big Elm Road in late September.
"Top of that walnut tree was probably running about 15 feet in flames," said Greer.
Plus, neighbors said frequent power outages are a safety hazard for several people who rely on oxygen tanks.
"One couple, just a couple houses down, go to a motel every time the power is out so that she can breath," said Forbes.
Furthermore, neighbors said that most people in the area rely on wells to get water. That means when the power goes out, they also lose access to water.
Neighbors said the solution to these many problems is simple. "Take care of it. You've had complaint after complaint after complaint, fix it," said Hawkins.
Hawkins said she was told that Appalachian Power was planning to fix these problems by the end of this past Fall.
Shepelwich confirmed this was the projects original timeline but said it was moved back due to the volume of severe weather in the region that he said forced the company to divert contractors elsewhere.
He said the project is now expected to begin in early January.
He said it will include tree trimming and infrastructure repairs.

Manjeera Dam
Manjeera Dam is located on the Manjeera river at Kalabgur, Sangareddy District, Telangana State, India. This is an ideal picnic spot. One can spend quality time with family or friends at the Environmental Education Centre here. Another main attraction of this place is the crocodile-breeding pond, which has been set up for rehabilitation of crocodiles. The glistening waters of the reservoir and the wildlife around make it an ideal picnic spot in an unspoilt and serene environment. Manjeera, a major source of drinking water for Hyderabad in a good year with rains, spreads over 10 square miles at its full capacity. Located at a distance of about 70 kilometers from Hyderabad
Manjeera Wildlife Sanctuary
Mangeera or Manjira wildlife sanctuary is located on the Manjeera river at Kalabgur, Sangareddy District, Telangana State, India. The charming part about this sanctuary is that one can take an adventurous boat ride for Bird watching in the Manjira Wildlife & Bird Sanctuary. Originally a crocodile sanctuary, today more than 70 species of birds are spotted here and is home for the vulnerable species mugger crocodile. This man-made reservoir provides drinking water to Hyderabad and Secunderabad.
Sangareddy Kasi Visweshwara Temple
Sri Kasi Vishweshwara Temple is situated in Kalpagooru village close to the Manjeera Barrage near Sangareddy town in Sangareddy District, Telangana State, India. The history of the temple dates back to the era of the Kakatiya rulers from 11th century A.D. The temple complex is also home to two other temples, they are Sri Anantha Padmanabha Swamy temple & Sri Venugopala Swamy temple. Hence it is also called as Trikootaalayamu. Sri Kasi Vishweswara temple is seen towards the southern portion of garbhaalayam while Sri Venugopalaswamy temple is seen near the northern portion of garbhaalayam. According to legend, this temple was built on water stream coming from holy Kasi. It is said that in case if you drop a coin in garbhaalayam of Sri Venugopala Swamy temple, then you can hear a sound similar to that of a coin being dropped in water. Sri Anantha Padmanabha Swamy temple is located towards the west side of garbhaalaya. The temple resembles Thousand Pillar Temple i

When it's rough, sex sells
by Tim Girvin | Concepts, Marketing 2.0, Retail, Trends | May 26, 2009
Marketing sex, retail and the recession
There's been a dire downturn, underlining the bleakly obvious. And it's been down for everyone — everything — everywhere. All markets — and each of us — everyone's been affected, crystallizing the clearly understated.
There are, however, glimmers of hope on the horizon. We'll all keep our fingers crossed.
And in times of challenge, people turn to other things. What other things — what's the trend, in terms of change in the psyche of all of us linked to the difficulties in the market chain?
In the past, I've written a little about the concept of sex — in retail — and I reference that literally: places that celebrate sex. A couple of years ago I wrote about sex and retail in the context of sophisticated store-based and online marketing. Every town, every city offers something to the seedier side of the exchange, and this isn't about that. It's about the concept of the sexual encounter being something more uplifting — something humanly celebrative and mutually beneficent and that now people are turning more to it, and turning up the heat, so to speak.
The premise is explored, as well, that this retail concept could be something elegant, refined, authentically real and direct — in messaging takes it away from what might be called the more luridly prurient sense of taste.
But the intriguing aspect of this offering relates to the idea that when times are rough, and the markets, retail and employment are down, other certain sectors pick up. I watch for things like these — obviously, from a business strategy standpoint — it makes sense to observe trending for my clients as well as for our own tactical marketing expressions.
Sex, it turns out, is something that is selling better these days than other times, it's on the uptick. According to an overview in AdvertisingAge, coupled with increasingly effective analytics, shows that products of a certain sexually supporting nature are growing. Jeff Neff writes that the recession hasn't slipped the sales of sexual experience accessories — new data reveals that mass market sexual enhancement products are, as he puts it, "producing fireworks in supermarket and drug store aisles."
Having worked for years with J&J, the owner of the K-Y brand "INTENSE" this strategic business development reach, makes sense. The concept, you might quickly surmise, is about deepening the experience of pleasure.
It's interesting, having worked in the design labs of J&J, how they tend to approach these lines of marketing — lots of research, trial, consumer interception and lengthy strategic development, sometimes resulting with "go with instinct" directives. And they might be right.
According to Neff's researches, "first-quarter sales of personal lubricants soared 32% to $41.2 million, according to Information Resources Inc., led almost entirely by continued strength from last year's launch of Johnson & Johnson's K-Y Yours & Mine his-and-hers lubricants." And this represents sales increases before advertising.
Neff continues that "the small but suddenly booming "sexual-enhancement devices" category in food, drug and mass-market stores is growing even faster, albeit off a very small base, up 74% to $10.1 million for the full year ended April 19, according to IRI, with Church & Dwight's Trojan and Durex products leading the way." J&J's spokespeople offer than when the economy's challenged, "sex goes up". The marketing people at Church & Dwight offer more specifics, in marketing upticks — and their relationship is about more detailed analyses. And the scale of the market could be far bigger. What it might be, the real answer, is that people are stressed, relying on relationships and networks of friends, and comprises a natural shift. Linked In, Facebook and related societal networks are expanding in dramatic surges — and there are even workshops that support the better utility of these tools in building potentials to re-engage with employment — and to reattach to friends and to find new ones.
Church & Dwight anticipates significant growth, given the increases across the categories and the willingness by retailers, like WalMart to dedicate in-store real estate and prominent shelf space to these intimacy enhancing offerings. The consumer group has, as well, created a study alliance with the Indiana University (famous for Kinsey, by the way) — noted in a release in 2008 — "Indiana University teams with Church & Dwight — to improve the nation's sexual health — to address critical sexual health issues facing citizens across the United States, the Center for Sexual Health Promotion in Indiana University's School of Health, Physical Education and Recreation has entered into a unique 3-year agreement with one of the world's leading sexual health products companies, Church & Dwight, maker of Trojan brand condoms. The agreement establishes the IU center as a strategic research, education and consulting partner with Trojan." Jim Daniels, VP Marketing at McNeil comments, "the range of expertise at IU makes it a beneficial partner as the company continues its efforts to develop high-quality products and evolve the sexual health of America."
As in other categories of business, struggling during down times, the potential up selling surge will be in areas of activating trends and "psychic" conditions — a need for connectedness — a renewal of intimacy and relationships during stress. And, concomitant with that presumption, an upturn in marketing and retail positioning of both products and the context in which they are sold.

Hence, a more elegant, upscaled presentation — less to the lascivious, and more to the sensibility of finer design if not luxury. A visual sampling of retail sex boutiques, some of which I've been to, others that are international, online presences from abroad, are shown below — all still, one might surmise, growing their business.
Like Lelo, a Scandinavian product grouping: http://en.lelo.com/index.php
Or Jimmy Jane: http://www.jimmyjane.com/index.php
Or Kiki De Montparnasse: http://www.kikidm.com
Is there an answer, that there will be a trend to continue the sense of need, in terms of physical connection and the surge of intimate pleasure? Likely so; it's being bet on as an investment in the future. For my assessment, it's a shift to the concept that life is short, and physicality is one important and nurturing condition to living life…well.
What's your take?

Q: Why firebase auth methods are gone when code runs on server under [client] credentials? Code for our Node server app works perfectly when we use [client config] for creating the firebase app obj (Image_1) this works locally when debugging with vs code (localhost); In this scenario all methods for auth are there; Now, after uploading to our gear at (OpenShfit), we get a "TypeError: auth.applyActionCode is not a function" error. This happens whether we use [client config] or [server config] credentials for initializing the firebase app object.
Everything else is working on the server, real time database works perfectly with [server config] (service credentials). Only the auth object seems to lose its methods when running in the server. We double checked that all source code and node_modules are identical in the client and the server.
SDK is 3.4.1-rc.2.
When uploading to server the methods for the auth object are gone. I have also set the service account with the "owner" role and it didn't work either.
Here is our code:

Image_1: We set the this.firebaseClientConfig and this.firebaseServerConfig private vars.

Image_2: Start method receives a string which depending on value will initialize the firebase instance using the client or server config/stop method is called after operation is completed, so when another operation is required it can use client or server config.

Image_3: the getDb method works perfeclty, the getAuth method returns an auth object that only has methods when run with client config at localhost.

Image_4: Sample code from a service that actually works on localhost and server (access to rt db).

Image_5: This just won't work on the server (auth object doesn't have methods) , however it works at localhost.

Image_6: Works on localhost.

Image_7: @ Production :(

A: If you are instantiating a client and admin instance. Make sure you use a different app ID for each:
case 'client':
  this.fbInstance = firebase.initializeApp({...}, 'client');
  ...
case 'server'
  this.fbInstance = firebase.initializeApp({...}, 'server');
  ...

Otherwise the second instance will actually fail and throw an error which you seem to catch and suppress. This will then fail when getAuth() is called on it.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 teased ahead of February debut – 3.5 kW V2L tech for power supply, ultra-fast charging – paultan.org
01/13/2021 Car Reviews
Hyundai has released the first teaser images of the Ioniq 5, the first in the Korean automaker's sub-brand for fully electric vehicles that will all be built on the firm's E-GMP electric vehicle architecture. Recognise more than a bit of the 45 concept here? This is the production version slated for a full debut next month.
The signature design elements applied to the Ioniq 5 include Parametric Pixels, along with its Color Material Finish (CMF) aesthetic that aims to bridge the analogue and digital worlds. The pixel graphics designed into the lights suggests "the digital technology within", while the full-width clamshell bonnet minimises panel gaps for a clean, high-tech overall look, says Hyundai.
The wheels have been aero-optimised and also continue the Parametric Pixel visual theme, and measure 20 inches in diameter here on the Ioniq 5, the largest ever offered on a fully electric Hyundai, says the company. In a trio of short videos released by Hyundai, the Ioniq 5 is shown to feature the Vehicle 2 Load (V2L) technology that functions as a general power supply, rated at 110 volts or 220 volts.
Here, the Ioniq 5's 3.5 kW of power from the V2L supply, which Hyundai has depicted to be able to power a variety of equipment that otherwise wouldn't be found outside a household setting; roasting a turkey in a large oven, listening to music on large, floorstanding speakers, or powering a treadmill, all outdoors.
The Korean automaker also released a '5 Minute Challenge' video that showcases the Ioniq 5's fast-charging capability, which Hyundai says can give the vehicle 100 km of range from just five minutes of charging (based on the WLTP standard). Here, a challenge was set up for the Ioniq 5 to charge a smartphone, a laptop and an action camera each for five minutes, and to see which device has the charge to last the longest.
Specific details about the Ioniq 5 have yet to be released, although Hyundai has said earlier that the most potent performance models based on this Electric-Global Modular Platform (E-GMP) platform will be able to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in under 3.5 seconds, and reach a top speed of 260 km/h. Chassis hardware will be comprised of MacPherson struts in front and a five-link setup at the rear.
The E-GMP adopts the proven skateboard-like form of other EV platforms, with its battery packs mounted low within the wheelbase. Its modular design enables the addition or subtraction of packs to alter capacity as required, and its design also helps lower repair costs by allowing individual battery packs to be replaced, rather than having to remove an entire unit.
A separate cooling block structure also helps make the batteries lighter and more compact, and offers 10% more energy density than existing battery technology, says Hyundai.

John Francis Dominic Wright (born 13 August 1933) is an English former footballer who played as a goalkeeper in the Football League for Colchester United.

Career

Born in Aldershot, Wright joined Colchester United from local amateur forms in May 1952, becoming a part-time professional whilst on National Service. He was a serviceman when he made his first-team debut for the club during the 1954–55 season, a 5–3 defeat to Southampton at Layer Road on 30 April 1955.

Four of Wright's five first-team appearances for Colchester came during his conscription, largely down to the consistency of Percy Ames as he clocked up four consecutive seasons without missing a game for the club. Wright waited patiently for his next chance, which was to be his final professional game, bringing an end to Ames' string of 236 consecutive appearances. In the game, Wright saved a penalty from Bill Myerscough but the club still lost 2–0 to Coventry City on 14 January 1961.

Wright decided to leave Colchester at the end of the 1960–61 season, with nine years of service and just five appearances to his name. He joined the police force and played locally for Great Bentley, but eventually left the force in summer 1963, going to work for the electricity board and joining Clacton Town where he lived.

In unusual move, Gov. Newsom smacks stem cell agency
Gov. Gavin Newsom at the State of the State Address in January. (Photo: Sheila Fitzgerald)
by DAVID JENSEN posted 12.09.2022
Gov. Gavin Newsom has rebuked California's stem cell agency about its conduct of the election of a new chairperson for the $12 billion enterprise, a process that has been disrupted with the withdrawal of one candidate and the addition of a new one.
Newsom's comments came virtually on the eve of the election, a process that began last spring and was scheduled to end next week. The job is a key to the success of the agency's efforts to produce revolutionary therapies that would cure afflictions ranging from cancer and heart disease to diabetes and immune deficiencies such as the "bubble baby" disease.
In an unusual letter six days ago to the outgoing chair, Newsom said he was nominating a new candidate for the $569,000-a-year job after his earlier nominee, John A. Pérez, dropped out. Pérez is a former speaker of the state Assembly.
The governor's rebuke was an unusual intervention involving CIRM's internal processes.
Pérez withdrew "due to the actions taken by the board after his nomination to significantly modify the responsibilities of the position to which he was nominated," Newsom told Jonathan Thomas, the current chair of the governing board of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM). Thomas is being termed out.
"I am concerned," Newsom continued, "that this action (the change in responsibilities) was taken not only without notice to the nominees but also without notice to the offices of any of the four constitutional officers who submitted nominees."
Newsom did not specify in his Dec. 2 letter which responsibilities of the chair were modified. State law details the duties of the chair, and they cannot be altered by the agency or the governor. It appears that the governor was mainly concerned about actions that changed the job from an 80 percent, part-time position to a full-time position. The agency also increased the job's annual salary from Thomas' $419,234 pay in 2021 to $569,000. Thomas is on an 80-percent earlier pay scale.
The changes occurred during public meetings of the directors' Governance Subcommittee.
(Here is the letter that CIRM submitted to Newsom in July concerning the position and desired "key attributes" along with the legal duties. )
Asked by Capitol Weekly about the governor's concerns, Thomas released a one-sentence response: "The board is committed to an open and fair process with equal consideration of both nominees."
His letter last week was the first public chiding of CIRM by a governor in the 18-year history of the stem cell program.
The governor's rebuke was an unusual intervention involving CIRM's internal processes and could be construed as a reminder that Newsom expects to see his nominee elected.
The ballot initiative that created CIRM was written specifically, however, to prevent elected politicians from tinkering with the research program. Funds flow directly to the agency without review by the governor or the Legislature. The law that created CIRM can only be changed by another ballot initiative or a super, super-majority vote of the legislature (70 percent) and the signature of the governor.
Newsom has been a strong backer of the agency since its inception in 2004 when he was mayor of San Francisco. But his letter last week was the first public chiding of CIRM by a governor in the 18-year history of the stem cell program.
Actions by elected officials involving CIRM are largely limited to appointing some members of the 35-member governing board, officially called the Citizens Independent Oversight Committee (ICOC). The wording reflects a desire by the ballot initiative authors to assure voters in 2004 that CIRM would not be diverted from its course by changes in political winds and opposition to stem cell research, which can be fierce.
Pérez's withdrawal last week surprised the agency. The two original candidates were scheduled to appear before the board's Governance Subcommittee next Monday in a closed-door session. Then, the ICOC had planned to elect the new chair at its board meeting next Thursday. Both of those plans have been scrubbed. The agency now plans to elect and install a new chair at a Jan. 26 meeting.
In addition to Pérez, nominated last September was Emilie Marcus, a scientist and senior associate dean of strategy at the UCLA School of Medicine whose salary was $382,499 in 2021. Prior to joining UCLA in 2015, she was CEO of Cell Press and editor-in-chief of Cell, widely regarded as one of the leading cellular research journals in the world. The field is at the heart of the research that CIRM has backed since 2004 to fulfill voters' expectations for "miraculous" therapies that would be available to the general public.
(See here for a discussion of both Perez and Marcus and their backgrounds.)
To replace Pérez, Newsom nominated Vito Imbasciani, who is head of the state Department of Veterans Affairs. He was appointed in 2015 by then Gov. Jerry Brown.
Imbasciani's resume shows a deep medical background that included a career in the U.S. Army and then with Kaiser Permanente in Southern California. He also ran unsuccessfully for the State Senate in 2014 from a Los Angeles beach area district.
Imbasciani served from 1986 to 2014 with the Army, retiring as a colonel. He was a battle surgeon in Iraq and a field surgeon in Desert Storm. A urologic surgeon, he joined Kaiser in 1997 and continues to be affiliated with the organization. From 2004 to 2015, he was director of government relations for Southern California Kaiser.
In 2012, he was selected by former President Obama to introduce him at what one news report called a "star-studded" fundraiser in Los Angeles. "Until last year, the price of my service was to live a lie," Imbasciani said. "But not anymore."
"Thanks to the unyielding efforts of President Obama I can serve my country openly with my family by my side."
Last July, he told the governor's office that he was interested in the position at CIRM. He filed a statement that detailed how he met all the legal qualifications and more for the position.
Imbasciani has a Ph.D. from Cornell University in musicology, an M.D. from the University of Vermont and a B.A. from New York State University.

Processing Observed Data in Parallel
====================================

This fairly complex examples takes an ASDF file and produces two new data
sets, each processed in a different frequency band.

It can be run with MPI. It scales fairly well and will utilize parallel I/O if
your machine supports it. Please keep in mind that there is a significant
start-up cost for Python on each core (special Python versions that get around
that if really necessary are in existence) so don't use too many cores.

.. code-block:: bash

    $ mpirun -n 64 python process_observed.py

If you don't run it with MPI with will utilize Python's ``multiprocessing``
module and run it on each of the machines cores. I/O is not parallel and
uses a round-robin scheme where only one core writes at single point in time.

.. code-block:: bash

Home/News/Astrophysicists will determine the expansion rate of the Universe using gravitational waves
Astrophysicists will determine the expansion rate of the Universe using gravitational waves
Ordo News EditorNovember 17, 2021Last Updated: November 17, 2021

(ORDO NEWS) –Researchers at the Indian Scientific Cooperation (LISC) recently analyzed the detected gravitational waves to measure the expansion rate of the universe.
In 1929, the famous astronomer Edwin Hubble suggested that the universe was expanding and galaxies were moving away from us. This laid the foundation for understanding the origin of our universe and its evolution. Researchers have now measured the rate at which the universe is expanding thanks to gravitational waves that were recently detected.
An international team of researchers analyzed recently discovered gravitational waves to estimate the rate of expansion of the universe, known as the Hubble constant.
Gravitational waves are invisible ripples in space that were first discovered by Albert Einstein over 100 years ago. The 35 recently discovered gravitational waves bring the total to 90. 32 of these waves were detected from merging pairs of black holes, and three others were likely from a collision of a neutron star and a black hole.
Gravitational waves act like a siren in the universe, their distances can be determined by how loud they appear on detectors. An accurate measurement of the expansion rate of the Universe should show how quickly the galaxies in which these events are detected are moving away from us.
Scientists are confident that gravitational waves may be one of the most effective tools that can be used to determine the rate of expansion of the universe. This will not only help to more accurately understand and analyze gravitational waves, but also help find elusive dark energy.
The LIGO and Virgo observatories are currently undergoing modernization ahead of the forthcoming fourth observation cycle, which is expected to begin towards the end of 2022.

Olympia The Site of the Grecian games Part.I
A lush valley on the Peloponnese peninsula provided the backdrop for the Grecian world's supreme festival: the Olympic Games. The games were held in honour of a battle between two gods, yet they were marked by a nationwide vow of peace.
Since the four yearly cycle of the modern Olympic began in 1896,it has been disrupted were revived as a forum for peaceful competition among the world's finest athletes. But the mood of international rivalry surrounding them reflects the tensions that lay behind their origins
Ancient Greece never became unified as a nation; feuding between its city states prevented any lasting political cohesion. And yet, once every four years in the month of July, internal warfare was formally suspended. A scared truce was observed between the states, and for more than 1000 years from 776 BC to AD 393 the games remained the collective expression of a theme central to Greek civilization: the pursuit of excellence.
Today, the ruins of Olympia still stand in testimony to the glory of the ancient festival of sports. They lie in a fertile valley on the Peloponnese peninsula in southern Greece, nestled between two rivers the Alpheus, and its tributary, the Claudius.
Archaeological evidence indicates that Olympia was a place of worship in prehistoric times. Later, it became associated with festivities honouring Zeus, the greatest of Gods. According to legend, Zeus started the tradition of games at Olympia when he wrestled there with his father, fighting for kingship over the gods. Lesser deities then came to the same spot to test their strength. Here Apollo boxed against Ares, the god of war, and ran against Hermes, the messenger. Olympia became a place of divine contest, bounded by rules established by the mighty Hercules.

Home Features Light It Up
The Sanger chandelier by AERIN adds glamour to a guest hallway at the JW Marriott Essex House in New York.
Enter a well-designed room with attractive furnishings and take in the surroundings. What do you see? Your impression of the overall space is affected by color, texture and layout, but most of all, it is light that enables and enhances the room's overall impact. Be it ambient, task or accent, great lighting establishes the mood of the room. For one company, supplying beautiful lighting for virtually every application is the focus of three decades of work.
"I started the company out of my house," recalls Visual Comfort CEO Andy Singer, who had been a manufacturer's rep in college and after graduation. "I wanted to continue in the lighting business, but as a maker." Singer designed a handful of styles, then known as pharmacy lamps, out of his garage-based office in Houston and leased warehouse space for inventory. "My sister Gale worked for me for 10 years and eventually started Circa Lighting, which sells our products exclusively today." Circa Lighting now has seven retail stores and is rapidly expanding. From humble beginnings in 1986, Singer's vision began to take shape. Brands such as Jordache, Ray-Ban and Lacoste were sought after by consumers precisely for their name recognition, and Singer saw an opportunity. "I wanted to have lighting styles that were branded with names consumers recognized and respected. No one was doing that with lighting."
Ron Rosenthal, principal at RSA Lighting, was Singer's first sales agent. The two met at a sales conference in 1980 and stayed in close touch. When Visual Comfort was born, Rosenthal began to hit the road to sell the products. "This was way before cell phones and even fax machines, so we'd call on our customers in person and stick paper orders in an envelope and then mail them in," he recalls. "We started with about six styles. All the funding came out of Andy's pocket." Perseverance paid off in 1994, when Singer signed Bill Blass as the first big name to design a collection for Visual Comfort. "That was so huge for us," Singer says. "Bill Blass was very famous and had impeccable taste. Even though we were a tiny company, he really understood our focus and believed in us." After that, lighting legend E.F. "Sandy" Chapman became the lead designer for the company and is still in that role today. From just a few pharmacy lamps, Visual Comfort Group is now the dominant player worldwide in decorative lighting, featured in virtually every home-design magazine that exists and even in movies such as "Something's Gotta Give" with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton, in which her character's Hamptons beach house is lit softly with the company's selections.

When I was in college I had a professor in communications that really impacted me. This particular professor gave us an easy first assignment. He told us to pick up any newspaper we wanted and read it from cover to cover for an entire week.
When I was in college I had a professor in communications that really impacted me. This particular professor gave us an easy first assignment. He told us to pick up any newspaper we wanted and read it from cover to cover for an entire week. Our task was to underline only things that are facts and backed up by data or by a reliable source. It was a really interesting exercise. I chose the Wall Street Journal, I went through the entire week and highlighted only the facts.
I was astonished because less than 20 percent of the entire newspaper was actual facts. What that brought to my attention was that there is very little fact in newspapers and in the news in general; most of it is opinion or fluff. I also learned that each individual author is connecting dots and coming up with a conclusion.
This means you could come up with your own conclusions that may be different from what is in the news if you just highlight the facts and then connect your own dots. One of the things that I find to be extremely helpful in investment is to be that person who highlights the facts and then connects their own dots. Listen to what other people's opinions are, but don't necessarily take that as being the gospel truth.
Is It a Waste of Time to Consume News?
The reason I bring this up is that in the last few weeks, and throughout my career, there has always been a camp of people that say not to read or listen to the news, that it's all worthless. I would say, for the most part, that is absolutely true. There are, however, a couple of caveats that apply to that.
The first is that there is a tremendous amount of information inside the news from a sentiment perspective. This means that we can get a good feel for what the prevailing bias is, get into the mind of the market, and watch the movements of the prices themselves.
If you see a variance between what the sentiment is and what the prices are doing, you have as potential setup for a significant trend change. That's one reason to listen to the news - you can actually see these setups occurring. You can see these divergences between what the prices are telling you versus what the news is saying and what the prevailing opinion is.
One recent example of that would be the Bitcoin craze. When we saw that exponential move up, the prevailing bias was that the cryptocurrency was going to change the world. Meanwhile, we had a complete trend break and all technical indicators were flashing sell signals to get out. We then saw a massive drop in Bitcoin.
A lot of times if you do your homework, you can look in a group and find investments that make sense from a longer-term perspective. I want to mention the emerging markets, specifically China, because we have this prevailing bias right now that nobody wants to own international or emerging markets.
Not long ago I had a phone call with a new, high net worth client that was coming in and we were looking at their entire portfolio. This client had virtually no international exposure and in the conversation, they said that it hasn't been the place to be, and that client was 100 percent correct. It was not the place to be and it hasn't been for quite a while, but that could be changing.
If you've seen previous market calls, you've likely heard about how emerging markets peaked a long time ago, and for that reason, there was potentially a value setup, but we needed to see some stability. While that is true from a general market perspective, from an investment management perspective, I believe that savvy investors can look inside the group and find opportunities to start nibbling now.
A company that I find especially interesting is China Telecom. It is the largest fixed line operator in China, covering 21 southern provinces. They have about 120 million fixed line subscribers, 141 million broadband customers, and 282 million wireless subscribers. The firm is increasing, it's cross selling across the product lines and they're adding additional services such as cloud computing.
Why this particular company? Simply put, they are trading at multiples that are substantially lower than what we would see in other investments. They have an earnings yield of around seven percent, whereas the general market earnings yields are substantially lower than that. They're growing at about nine percent according to what analysts are estimating, compared to other firms that are growing at a slower rate and have multiples that are not as attractive, and the stock has been basing for a long time.
This is a monthly chart from 2003 to the current year. Looking at this, you can see a long-term support area at $41-$42 per share, which was established with a peak in 2003, and has been tested multiples times. This particular stock peaked out in the nineties and now it's trading at around $48 per share. If you look at the volume weighted average price of the trading from that peak until now, you can see that we're testing that upper end of that range and the stock is oversold from a very long-term perspective.
The lower part of the chart is the Chaikin Money Flow indicator, which essentially shows you the money moving in and out of an instrument. Any technician can see that this stock is oversold and at support levels. I want to stress that when looking at the valuation, they have a competitive valuation compared to the industry and their top competitors. They also have that competitive growth; the firm has increased its wireless base by more than six times since it acquired the business in 2008, much faster than its competitors.
There's a backdrop of sentiment where we have pessimism and Chinese stocks concerned about the dollar possibly being overblown. I believe that over time, a long-term investor can pick up these types of companies. Although, a whole country or asset class in emerging markets is not bottomed yet. This is where you can find some fertile ground for opportunity.
There are obviously some risks involved with this. China Telecom is controlled by the Chinese government, and their objectives may or may not be aligned with those of the minority shareholders and competitors.
Their competitors are marketing very aggressively and they have more scale. And of course, we have emerging market risks with currency and tariffs.
This is not without risk but taking a reasonable position size and keeping the risks in mind could turn the risk into opportunity.
This chart shows China Telecom on the top and one of their biggest competitors, China Mobile, in the middle chart. The bottom chart shows the relative comparison of the performance between China Telecom and China Mobile.
When that line is moving higher, China Telecom is outperforming China Mobile. Since July, we've seen that steady increase in outperformance there. Despite not having the scale of their larger counterparts, the market participants are showing indications that they're buying for a few reasons.
One of the most probable reasons is that the relative performance is better than their top competitors since July. We've also had a significant support level that has been tested multiple times, and that would indicate potential for stealth buying.
Where Can This Company Go?
Let's look at where this company could go. If we view it from a cash flow perspective, we've seen estimates from analysts that the fair value of that company could be as high as $82 a share with the stock trading around where it is right now. If we have a confirmation bullish move up, the stock would break above 51, which would be right around the volume weighted average price, and that could be a reasonable entry.
Obviously, there's no perfect knowledge that it is occurring, but we might have a higher indication of that happening. If that is the case, the stock could have the potential upside of about $31 a share. Looking at the volatility of the instrument and trend change, you're looking for downside risk of around $13 per share down to $38. That's a reasonably good return risk profile.
So this is the kind of thing that I think investors can do within the context of a diversified portfolio. If you look at the relative strength of this stock compared to the S&P 500 on the bottom part of this chart, you see that the downtrend in performance is starting to slow now. So we've seen, you know, it's, it's just gradually slowing.
This is still in the early stages; it's not a completed base. This would be an anticipation type trade where you're looking to be a little bit ahead of it and taking a smaller position size would make more sense.
In summary, when reading/watching/listening to the news, it's important to notice how much it is fact versus how much is opinion. Identify the facts and connect the dots for yourself to form a more reliable picture. That being said, it doesn't make sense to me to ignore the news entirely; it can be a very good indicator of sentiment that might not necessarily be evident otherwise.
China Telecom is looking good in the long-term valuation game. Despite being on a smaller scale, it's outperforming larger companies. It's beating out its other opportunities in both growth and valuation. Keeping the potential downsides in mind, smaller position sizes could turn risk into opportunity.

Tupac Shakur's Final Words Revealed
Photo Courtesy of Fansided
Former Los Angeles Sergeant Chris Carroll was the very first responder to Tupac Shakur's 1996 murder. Today he has released to the public the final words of the beloved rapper and they are less than pretty. "F—k You" were the very last words to come from Tupac's mouth before the gunshot wound to his stomach overtook him. His seat would later indirectly lead to the retaliatory murder of Biggie Smalls aka Notorious B.I.G., suspected by some to be the reason for Tupac's death.
In an interview with Vegas Seven, Carroll describes how on September 7, 1996 he arrived on the scene to see a bleeding Tupac in the vehicle of friend Suge Knight, then CEO of famed Death Row Records. After realizing who the victim was, Carroll began to remove him from the car and asked him who the one who shot him was. At first Tupac ignored the officer's questions then "in his movements, all of a sudden in the snap of a finger, he changed," described Carroll. "And he went from struggling to speak, being noncooperative, to an 'I'm at peace' type of thing. Just like that."
After that moment Carroll continued to question Shakur over the identity of his killer. "I thought I was actually going to get some cooperation. And then the words came out: 'F–k you.' After that, he started gurgling and slipping out of consciousness." Shakur remained silent throughout his ambulance ride and surgery prep until sedation. In the middle of surgery Tupac slipped into a coma and was later taken off of life support, becoming one of the most influential deaths of the 90's.
Carroll has come forward with this information due to his recent retirement from the LAPD. He also withheld the information to prevent Tupac from becoming a martyr and instigator when knowledge of his defiant last words to a cop became public knowledge.
Despte his death Tupac has remained the center of many "fake death" conspiracy theories that mimic that of Elvis Presley and Andy Kaufman. Many fans believe that Tupac is alive and well and waiting for the right moment to come back to the public. "Tupac not dead," Suge stated last May. "If he was dead they'd be arresting those dudes for murder. You know he somewhere smoking a Cuban cigar on an island somewhere."

This project is a complete design for the Jackson Moassesfar wedding. I screen printed the invitations and embossed them with a decorative pattern around the border. For the seating solution, I designed a hanging tag and attached them to vintage skeleton keys. Each tag contained the guests name and table number on the outside and was hung on a framed panel of tongue and groove wood which I hand stained and distressed. I perforated the tags so that they could be opened and guests were encouraged to write what they felt was "the key to a happy marriage", detach the card and leave it in a jar for the married couple to read at their leisure. I hand cut the bar sign from pine which I then stained and distressed. I installed string lights to the interior so that it could be seen easily at night and to illuminate the bar area with a soft yellow light. The menu was designed and then printed with an inkjet, using the color scheme of the wedding and interesting typography to keep with the vintage feel of the celebration. I designed the cocktail and cupcake signs and then printed them with an inkjet. I stained and distressed the wood carriers, and then decoupaged them onto the face of the wood and sealed them.

If you are looking for a real estate broker with proven experience, an intuitive mind, who takes a professional no-nonsense approach to your real estate investment, please consider my experience and credentials when buying or selling your next home.
Before I pursued a career in real estate, I was in accounting and then an international head hunter/recruiter for large multi-national companies. In both accounting and the corporate world, attention to detail is a must. My favorite part of my recruiting career was putting the pieces together, finding just the right person for a position. As I moved into real estate, I realized that was the part of the role I loved the most ? solving problems for my clients and helping them move forward with their goals.

Khottiga or Amoghavarsha IV (ruled 967–972 CE), who bore the title Nityavarsha, was a ruler of the Rashtrakuta Empire. During this period the Rashtrakutas started to decline. The Paramara King Siyaka II plundered Manyakheta and Khottiga died fighting them. This information is available from the Jain work Mahapurana written by Pushpadanta.  He was succeeded by Karka II who ruled only for a few months.

In 968 CE, Khottiga installed a panavatta at Danavulapadu Jain temple for the Mahamastakabhisheka of Shantinatha.
