BioLargo Spotlight: An Update on BioLargo's Spiral AOS
Where's the Spiral AOS?
BioLargo's proprietary, innovative water treatment technology the Advanced Oxidation System (AOS) is already in use in field demonstration pilots (which you can read about here!) and is even gearing up for its first commercial trial. If you've been following news about BioLargo's AOS closely, you might ask "where is that Spiral AOS we heard about, and why don't I see it at these pilots?" Today we have an update to answer that question.
For those unfamiliar with the Spiral AOS – months past we released a blog post explaining the concept of the Spiral AOS and its relevance to the future of this technology. In short, it's smaller, more efficient, more affordable for future customers, and performs just as well or better than the traditional "stacked" AOS. At the time of that blog post, we didn't have great side-by-side comparison images for the Spiral AOS, which made it difficult for some people to grasp the difference between the two types of AOS – that changes today.
We're happy to say that we now have a Spiral AOS prototype reactor working side-by-side with a traditional stacked AOS at our demonstration pilot at Sunworks Farm. Why this configuration? This lets us compare the Spiral AOS to the Stacked AOS in an apples-to-apples way, allowing us to generate field performance and cost data for both types of AOS units in an industrial setting, thereby paving the way for commercial trials and future sales for either type of AOS reactor.
You can see the Spiral Demonstration Pilot prototype here (image below). As you can see, it's dramatically smaller than the Stacked prototype. This makes it perfect for future applications where physical space is a consideration, like indoor industrial settings and even future home use settings.
Spiral AOS pictured left. Traditional Stacked AOS pictured right.
Why would anyone use a Stacked AOS model if the Spiral is so much smaller? In contexts where space is not important (e.g., in outdoor or semi-outdoor agricultural or livestock settings), the Stacked AOS can perform just as well as the Spiral and offer lower maintenance costs for the customer because of its simpler geometry and inner components. By developing these two different models, we can offer our customers more options, helping them solve their water treatment issues in a flexible, affordable, pragmatic way. And in the end, that's our goal at BioLargo – to help solve customers' water challenges.

Full Proactive Investors interview: BioLargo firing on all cylinders within its engineering, water, medical, and odor subsidiaries

BioLargo Inc (OTCMKTS:BLGO) CEO Dennis Calvert tells Proactive the company this week formed a strategic alliance with BKT Company Limited, to explore opportunities for the company's CupriDyne Cleane Industrial Odor technology to be used to treat a South Korean city's water and wastewater problems. Along these same lines, its water subsidiary, BioLargo will also begin working with its first customer Sunworks Farm, to treat wastewater on its property with its Advanced Oxidation System.
What's more, Calvert says the California-based company's medical division has gained 510k clearance from the FDA to market its Cyra Wound Irrigation Solution. Calvert also updated on the company's engineering efforts with its US Air Force subcontract.
Edison Investment Research Update: Clyra gets 510(k) clearance
Edison Investment Research Group published a special update about BioLargo today through their international distribution channels. The update focuses on Clyra's recent FDA 510(k) clearance and its significance to BIoLargo's future growth prospects. This note is a great place to start if you want to understand what the Clyra 510(k) clearance means for the future of these medical products.
You can read the full report at their website HERE, and you can also access their original analyst report on BioLargo HERE.
BioLargo announced on 23 September 2019 that it received 510(k) marketing clearance for the Clyra Wound Irrigation Solution developed by the Clyra Medical subsidiary. The product uses antimicrobial technology based on the delivery of iodine using chemistry similar to the other products developed by BioLargo. The product is designed for cleansing, irrigation and debridement of skin lesions (partial and full thickness) and burns (1st and 2nd degree). With this clearance, the company is free to market and distribute the product, with the ultimate goal of Clyra operating as an independent wound-care company.
Bringing new technology to an established practice
Iodine has a long history in medicine and is an indispensable element of modern practice in the povidone iodine formulation (eg Betadine). However, despite its widespread use, povidone iodine is not without side effects and can cause irritation to mucous membranes and exposed tissue, and is therefore limited to topical use. The Clyra Wound Irrigation Solution instead generates small quantities of reactive iodine in situ that are too low to cause the irritation associated with other formulations (or even risk of staining), but sufficient to provide antiseptic benefit.
Product can be sold nationwide now
The 510(k) clearance means that Clyra is free to sell the product throughout the US or license it to another party for distribution. Products cleared through the 510(k) pathway must show substantial equivalence to an already approved product and not raise any additional safety or effectiveness concerns. We find it encouraging that the FDA upon examination of the data did not foresee any of these concerns with this product, but the details of the medical claims are forthcoming. We expect it to be an attractive product addressing some of the limitations of traditional iodine.
What's next: An independent wound-care company
BioLargo has repeatedly stated its intent to spin off Clyra as an independent wound-care company, and 510(k) clearance is the first step in that process. There is little operational overlap between Clyra and the other aspects of the business, so this strategy makes sense. Moreover, the company has sought to independently finance Clyra, as the majority (59%) is owned by outside shareholders. Clyra has sought to establish a pipeline outside of the current product and in 2018 purchased the intellectual property of the SkinDisc technology, a regenerative product for wound healing. Finally, it has proposed a series of follow-on indications for the wound-care solution, including dental and orthopedic applications.

BioLargo, Inc.
ICP-Funded Collaborative Demonstration Pilot Project at Craft Brewery Validates Wastewater Disinfection Performance of BioLargo's AOS in Field Setting
In April this year (2019), BioLargo's subsidiaries BioLargo Water and BioLargo Engineering, Science & Technologies installed an Advanced Oxidation System (AOS) unit at a craft brewery in Joshua Tree, CA, as part of a pre-commercial demonstration pilot project. The AOS was installed as part of a treatment train including the BioElectrochemical Treatment Technology (BETTTM) designed and manufactured by BioLargo's collaborator in the project, AquaCycl. This demonstration pilot, funded by the Innovative Conservation Program (ICP), aimed at treating the brewery's wastewater with the AOS and BETTTM systems to California's wastewater discharge standards and avoid non-compliance for the brewery. AquaCycl's BETTTM provided low-energy primary treatment of wastewater, and the AOS provided low-energy, high performance disinfection of wastewater.
Our work on this pilot project has now concluded! In this pilot, the disinfection capabilities of BioLargo's AOS were validated in a real-world industrial context, and the AOS performed well in its low-energy disinfection role at the brewery. We are thankful to have had this amazing opportunity to work with our partner Aquacycl in this project, and look forward to other potential opportunities in the future to tackle tough wastewater treatment challenges with them. Our engineering team (BLEST) gained significant understanding of Aquacycl's innovative new technology and expect that the BETTTM has significant potential to provide value in energy efficient wastewater treatment for food & beverage applications.
The pilot provided valuable "techno-economic" data about the AOS, enabling BioLargo's engineers to pinpoint the technology's long-term disinfection performance, operational cost metrics, and create data sets useful for marketing the AOS to future customers. The pilot was particularly important for the AOS as it helped demonstrate that the AOS is capable of functioning in wastewater treatment applications where the input water is especially laden with organic contaminants (as is common with breweries). The high degree of challenge inherent in this wastewater allowed BioLargo engineers to "stress test" the AOS, providing crucial intel to inform the design and optimization of commercial AOS units and enabling the company to execute future pilots and commercial trials successfully.
BioLargo Water President Dr. Richard Smith commented, "We would like to thank TMA BlueTech (formerly The Maritime Alliance) for helping BioLargo Water connect with Aquacycl for this pilot project, which was a tremendous boon for our efforts to commercialize the AOS. This project illustrates the power of technology cluster organizations, especially TMA BlueTech which provides its members with terrific networking support."
This pilot project also offered an opportunity for BioLargo Engineering, Science & Technologies (BLEST) to provide wastewater treatment engineering services to the craft brewery, potentially paving the way for additional industrial food & beverage wastewater clients for BLEST. Given the increasing pressure put on industrial facilities to manage and reduce their wastewater, and the increasing cost of fresh water globally, breweries and similar food & beverage facilities stand to benefit greatly from BLEST's wastewater engineering services.
BLEST President Randall Moore commented on the task of treating this craft brewery's wastewater, "Many small craft breweries like this one contend with tougher standards than large brewers. These requirements posed significant technical and economic challenges to the enterprise, and we at BLEST are more than pleased that we could provide components for a system that will ensure compliance with minimal maintenance, operational costs and capital outlay. While the situation at this particular brewer was unique, it provided valuable data and experience in the craft brewery industry. We look forward to future challenges and opportunities across the industry and with small generators across the country".

Edison Investment Research Writes Update on BioLargo for Second Quarter 2019
Edison Investment Research Group published an update on BioLargo, Inc. internationally through their distribution channels on September 6th.
BioLargo is close to breaking even with both its Odor-No-More (ONM) and BioLargo Engineering Science & Technology (BLEST) divisions, which reported Q219 operating losses of $51,000 and $27,000, respectively (after $315,000 and $241,000 in revenue). Both businesses have been expanding with new contracts, which we expect to continue to improve margins. ONM recently signed its fourth national distribution agreement, and BLEST was awarded a series of environmental services contracts for US Air Force bases. The company continues to guide to ONM breaking even by YE19.
BLEST to work on USAF bases
Although margins for BLEST are improving, a large portion of its revenue is from services for other BioLargo companies ($130,000 in Q2). However, external contracts continue to expand and BioLargo announced in July 2019 that BLEST would be providing a series of environmental engineering services on US Air Force bases. The company is subcontracting the work from Bhate Environmental Associates, which won the $15m bid. BLEST is responsible for air quality compliance and is continuing to try and win other subcontract bids on the project.
CupriDyne Clean works in cannabis study
ONM has targeted the booming cannabis industry as a potential future customer for its CupriDyne Clean odor control products. As part of this, the company commissioned a third party to provide a proof-of-principle study on the product's ability to eliminate the odor-causing cannabis terpenes from the air. The study found that the product eliminated the terpenes that were tested (myrcene and limonene) to levels below the limit of detection. Additionally, the company recently reported that its distribution partner Mabre Air Systems has made its first system installation, as well as a number of commercial trials.
AOS poultry and livestock pilot working well
In a true real-world test of BioLargo Water's Advanced Oxidation System, the company installed a pilot treatment train in Alberta. The system that was placed is a complete treatment train (which includes the AOS as a component) and the company reported that the system is working exceptionally well and providing a statistically significant disinfection performance. Additionally, BioLargo Water announced that it has received a $189,000 grant to open an additional pilot for storm wastewater in Southern California, and BLEST won a grant for $100,000 from the EPA to explore the removal of polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from waste water, a major water contamination concern.

Q: Source code build error (noob error) First time wading into coding... well, not actual coding, yet, but trying to build from a GitHub source. This is for macOS 10.12.6 Sierra, and that is the system I'm using to build this.
I've installed the prerequisites listed:

*

*xcode

*python

*wxpython

*twodict

*gettext

*ffmpeg

all the latest versions.
Following instructions I changed directory to the source code's folder and typed
python setup.py install

I got this immediately:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 73, in <module>
    from youtube_dl_gui import (
  File "/Users/davec/Downloads/youtube-dl-gui-master/youtube_dl_gui/__init__.py", line 26
    print error
              ^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print(error)?

So what did I miss? My first build, and I'm falling on my face. lOl
I haven't edited any of the source files; I'm not yet brave enough for that...
Project is here:
youtube-dl GUI
Thanks.

A: It is a python2 source. You are 'building' it with python3. macOS comes with python2.
You can try these shell commands.
# Verify the version of python in $PATH
python --version

# Use stock python
/usr/bin/python setup.py install
# Or
python2.7 setup.py install

A: It works!!

After installing the proper version of Python (2.7.15) and selecting it (otherwise it would use version 3 in installed initially), and re-installing twodict (for some reason it disappeared), running the command:
python setup.py install

generated a folder "build" which contains an executable.
Double-click on that and Bob's your Uncle!
Thanks for the input people. I'm confident I can take the next step, whatever that might be. Probably hunt down some more source code and try my hand again at building.
Cheers!

With oil prices nearly slashed in half from earlier 2014 prices, analysts are predicting that up to 550 drilling rigs will remain out of commission over the next few months.
Signs of a slowdown have rolled in quickly since last November when members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) refused to cut any of their oil and gas production. Reuters reported that in Houston, Texas, the first oil industry layoffs have been announced. Also, realtors there are predicting a sharp decline of up to 12 percent in home sales next year.
Additionally, companies in the West Texas Permian Basin have begun the process of "cold stacking" their rigs. This is a process by which a production company releases or stops drilling operations for their leased rigs. Recently, oil companies cut 20 rigs in the Permian fields and well permits in the Eagle ford fell nearly 30 percent in November.
As reported by Fuel Fix , Wunderlich analyst Irene Haas wrote that some private producers "believe that there will be more than 500 rigs idling in the next 60 days." This means more than a quarter of active U.S. rigs will be off the market soon.
"We think there's a significant amount of pain coming" to the oil industry and its service companies next year, said Praveen Narra, an analyst with Raymond James. Any recovery in U.S. oil and gas production will likely take longer than usual in oil-price downturns because the decline was set off by a glut in crude supplies, rather than less demand, he said.
Narra noted that "the problem isn't as quick of a fix as it would be if demand rebounded," and service costs for rigs and other drilling tools would likely come down in price to compensate for the deterred activity.
Overall, the United States saw a 37 percent decrease in well permits between October and November. The depletion in new well permits was most notable in the three major shale plays including the Bakken formation, the Permian Basin and the Eagle Ford in South Texas.

Q: Average of numpy array ignoring specified value I have a number of 1-dimensional numpy ndarrays containing the path length between a given node and all other nodes in a network for which I would like to calculate the average. The matter is complicated though by the fact that if no path exists between two nodes the algorithm returns a value of 2147483647 for that given connection.  If I leave this value untreated it would obviously grossly inflate my average as a typical path length would be somewhere between 1 and 3 in my network.
One option of dealing with this would be to loop through all elements of all arrays and replace 2147483647 with NaN and then use numpy.nanmean to find the average though that is probably not the most efficient method of going about it. Is there a way of calculating the average with numpy just ignoring all values of 2147483647?
I should add that, I could have up to several million arrays with several million values to average over so any performance gain in how the average is found will make a real difference.

A: Why not using your usual numpy filtering for this?
m = my_array[my_array != 2147483647].mean()

By the way, if you really want speed, your whole algorithm description seems certainly naive and could be improved by a lot.
Oh and I guess that you are calculating the mean because you have rigorously checked that the underlying distribution is normal so that it means something, aren't you?

A: np.nanmean(np.where(my_array == 2147483647, np.nan, my_array))

Timings
a = np.random.randn(100000)
a[::10] = 2147483647

%timeit np.nanmean(np.where(a == 2147483647, np.nan, a))
1000 loops, best of 3: 639 µs per loop

%timeit a[a != 2147483647].mean()
1000 loops, best of 3: 259 µs per loop

import pandas as pd

%timeit pd.Series(a).ne(2147483647).mean()
1000 loops, best of 3: 493 µs per loop

A: One way would be to get the sum for all elements in one go and then removing the contribution from the invalid ones. Finally, we need to get the average value itself, divide by the number of valid elements. So, we would have an implementation like so -
def mean_ignore_num(arr,num):
    # Get count of invalid ones
    invc = np.count_nonzero(arr==num)

    # Get the average value for all numbers and remove contribution from num
    return (arr.sum() - invc*num)/float(arr.size-invc)

Verify results -
In [191]: arr = np.full(10,2147483647).astype(np.int32)
     ...: arr[1] = 5
     ...: arr[4] = 4
     ...:

In [192]: arr.max()
Out[192]: 2147483647

In [193]: arr.sum() # Extends beyond int32 max limit, so no overflow
Out[193]: 17179869185

In [194]: arr[arr != 2147483647].mean()
Out[194]: 4.5

In [195]: mean_ignore_num(arr,2147483647)
Out[195]: 4.5

Runtime test -

Q: tensorflow.keras.Tokenizer - AttributeError: 'float' object has no attribute 'lower' with no null values and no column with floats All the answers I have read on stackoverflow for similar errors either suggested to fix null values or fix the datatypes. I neither have nulls in my dataframe or floats. But, the error still persists.
Here's some information about my data:
about null values(as I know numpy.nans are encoded as floats in pandas):

about data types:

And when I do:
from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing.text import Tokenizer
title_tokeniser = Tokenizer(num_words=10)
title_tokeniser.fit_on_texts(train_set.loc[:,'title'] + test_set.loc[:,'title'])

This is the error:

EDIT:
Here's what I have done in the process of debugging and trying to fix this problem:
I even made sure that I have removed all numbers by doing:
import re
text = re.sub(r'[+-]?([0-9]*[.])?[0-9]+', ' ', text)

on each row of all columns of both my train and test sets.
And also checked if turning off lower argument does anything by initialising a Tokenizer instance by doing:
title_tokeniser = Tokenizer(num_words=10, lower=None)

But, the error is:
AttributeError: 'float' object has no attribute 'translate'

I couldn't trace the presence of any floats or nulls in my data. How do I fix this?

A: Try this
texts = pd.concat([train_set['title'] , test_set['title']],axis=0).astype("str")

from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing.text import Tokenize
title_tokeniser = Tokenizer(num_words=10)
title_tokeniser.fit_on_texts(texts)

Mickelson's short game magic lifts him at Wells Fargo
May 7, 2016 SportsShahid Mehmood
07 May, 2016 2:15 pm
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA – Veteran Phil Mickelson used his short game magic to claw his way within three strokes of halfway leader Andrew Loupe after the second round of the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow on Friday.
On a day when defending champion Rory McIlroy roared into contention before a bogey-bogey finish left him trailing by six, Mickelson hit only nine greens in regulation but used his vaunted touch around the greens to card a two-under-par 70.
Mickelson, a five-times major champion who needs only to win the U.S. Open next month to complete the elusive career Grand Slam, got up-and-down to save par eight times, his lone bogey coming at his final hole, where he drove into a fairway bunker.
"I scrapped it around," said Mickelson, adding that poor driving, rather than suspect iron play, had put him in danger of dropping shots.
"My short game was sharp. I hit a lot of good iron shots, but I had to play for par a little too many times because I didn't put it in play off the tee," he said.
"I've been driving the ball really well heading into this week, so I'm a little disappointed with the driver."
Mickelson above all covets a U.S. Open championship and he is using this week as the start of his serious preparation for the June event at Oakmont outside Pittsburgh.
He is a record six-times Open runner-up, with several of those second-placings coming in heartbreaking fashion.
Loupe, who shared the first-round lead with fellow American Steve Wheatcroft, had a chance to build a substantial advantage, only to bogey two of his final three holes for a 71.
"It's halftime," said the long-hitting Loupe, who is without a win in 53 starts on the PGA Tour and understands a 36-hole lead counts for little.
He posted an eight-under 136 total to lead compatriot Roberto Castro (66) by one stroke.
Castro vaulted into second place with the help of a rare eagle at the tough par-four 18th, where he holed out with a five-iron from the rough from 220 yards.
McIlroy, meanwhile, picked up four shots on the easier front nine, including a chip-in, 80-foot birdie at the par-five seventh, but his charge stalled with two closing bogeys on the difficult finishing holes.
"It felt a little better for me today, a lot of shots of much better quality than yesterday," said the Northern Irishman after a 69.
"It's a step in the right direction. Last year as well, I had a 14-under weekend. I'll need to do something similar this year."
American Zac Blair was disqualified in unusual circumstances for using a non-conforming club, in this case his putter.
Blair bent his putter when he banged it against his head in frustration after missing a putt at the fifth hole.
He putted out the hole before subsequently informing an official on the next hole of the situation.
He was disqualified for violating rule 4-3b, which states: "If, during a stipulate round, a player's club is damaged other than in the normal course of play rendering it non-conforming or changing its playing characteristics, the club subsequently must not be used or replaced during the round." –Reuters

Preds Bring Out Another Star For Surprise Anthem Performance
By Tiffany Smithson Aaron on June 4, 2017
Music City's professional hockey team is making the news for more than one reason. Not only are the Nashville Predators closer than they've ever been to taking home the coveted Stanley Cup, but they continue to surprise fans with country megastars performing the national anthem prior to the games.
Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Little Big Town, Kelly Clarkson, and Keith Urban are just a few of the elite stars that have had the honor. Saturday night (June 3), Martina McBride took her turn at the mic before the Preds took to the ice to face off against the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final.
The "Independence Day" singer's appearance wasn't exactly a surprise like those who came before her. On Thursday, McBride's daughter, Delaney McBride, posted a photo of her dad, John McBride, with the Stanley Cup. The caption read, "When your dad gets to hang with the Stanley Cup? Oh and Tina is singing the anthem on Saturday. LOOK OUT."
Even though Martina's appearance wasn't a surprise, the crowd was thrilled to see her take the mic and deliver a knockout performance as she helped fire up an already excited sellout crowd. The Preds went on to defeat the Penguins, keeping them in the hunt for the ultimate NHL title.
Watch Martina McBride's performance of "The Star-Spangled Banner" below.


Wheat, potatoes, legumes, even tapioca are being developed as sources of resistant starches, although with different characteristics – and often more fiber – than the original corn source.
A resistant starch is any starch that resists enzymes during digestion. It's also resistant to "cooking out," and tends to form crystal structures that are resistant to digestion. Resistant starch in the diet, in specific amounts, may assist humans in resisting the accumulation of fat.
Starch molecules occur in two forms: amylose, a linear polymer composed of at least 200 (and up to several thousand) glucose molecules linked end-to-end; and amylopectin, a much larger, highly branched polymer containing up to hundreds of thousands of molecules of glucose linked in ways that form numerous short- and long-chain branches.
The ratio of amylose to amylopectin, as well as the molecular size of the molecules, varies widely in different crops, such as corn, wheat, rice and beans. Granules of common cornstarch are composed of approximately 75 percent amylopectin and 25 per cent amylose.
Amylose molecules have a natural tendency to form double-helix configurations, which aggregate into tightly packed, highly stable crystallites (by a process known as retrogradation). The terminal branches of amylopectin can also form short helices, but the resulting crystallites are much less stable and are easily disrupted. From resistant starch to fiber is a matter of degree, but it is now apparent these compounds have important roles in digestion.
Since research in the mid-1980s, the definition of resistant starch has grown and changed. Studies in 1988 by Kay Behall of USDA on the effect of high-amylase starch on healthy subjects showed definite changes in the way the starch was digested, and the data suggested high amylose starch reduced the accumulation of triglycerides in blood. Results also suggested differences in insulin action when subjects consumed muffins, cornflakes and other foods that included a large proportion of high-amylose cornstarch.
National Starch introduced Hi-maize resistant starches in 2002 and flour and meal from Hi-maize high-amylose corn earlier this year.
This makes resistant starch somewhat of a moving target. How foods are prepared, how starches are processed and how they relate to fiber is important. For instance, a cold, boiled potato contains about 13.5 percent resistant starch of the RS 3 type, while the same boiled potato served hot contains about 6.7 percent resistant RS3 starch. Whole-meal bread may contain 1.6 percent RS3, and lentils (cooked and cooled) contain 16.4 percent resistant starch in combined RS1 and RS3 types.
In late 2004, the journal <I>Nutrition and Metabolism</I> reported that consuming 5.4 percent of total carbohydrate as resistant starch resulted in increased metabolism of fat (http://www.nutritionandmetabolism.com/content/1/1/8). The report was by Janine Higgins of the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Center for Human Nutrition (Denver) and a team including researchers from the University of Vermont (Burlington), University of Wollongong (Australia) and the Dept. of Preventive and Social Medicine at the University of Otago (New Zealand).
Exactly how marketers can claim the effects of resistant starch on a label is a tough question. In the U.S., resistant starch, unless it tests as fiber, is labeled as corn starch or modified food starch. If a firm decides to make a reduced-calorie label claim, it's wise to discuss it either with the company's legal staff or FDA.
A major problem with the development of fiber and resistant starch as ingredients that can be labeled on foods is the difficulty of determining how much resistant starch is present in a food. In 2002, the American Organization of Analytical Chemists (AOAC) published a method for determining the amount of resistant starch. Different tests are used to quantify fiber. Unless the carbohydrate tests for fiber, it is labeled as starch, which is less descriptive of its actual role in digestion. While there is still some controversy about the method, it is being used.
The similarity of resistant starch and fiber is described in the February issue of the Journal of Nutrition, by the University of Illinois, Urbana, research team headed by George Fahey Jr. Fahey, et. al. report legumes contain substantially higher percentages of resistant starch than do cereal grains, flours and grain-based food products. Resistant starch was equated to dietary fiber in that both bypass digestion in the stomach and small intestine before settling in the colon. Bacteria present in the human gut attack resistant starch as they do dietary fiber, producing butyrate.
Butyrate is a short-chained fatty acid which has shown cancer-preventing qualities. The Illinois study provides the first database of the percentages of starch and fiber in common food and feed ingredients. The researchers also determined how and where in vitro digestion occurred by studying digestion in the lower part of the small intestine in a dog model representative of the human digestive tract.
"The nice thing about legumes is they have a great deal of dietary fiber plus the resistant starch," said Fahey. "With their protein, fiber and resistant starch, legumes offer good nutrition. Until now, we never knew legumes had so much of their starch in the form of resistant starch."
Of the 29 food and feed ingredients studied, the legumes (seven varieties) contained substantially higher percentages of both dietary fiber and resistant starch. Black beans, for instance, contain the highest amount of total dietary fiber (43 percent), and 63 percent of their total starch content is resistant starch. Frozen green peas, when cooked, contain about 26.3 per cent resistant starch as RS1 and RS3.
MGP Ingredients Inc. (www.mgpingredients.com), Atchison, Kan., for some time has been producing resistant starches made from wheat and potatoes. Its Fibersym family of products feature low water-holding capacity and total dietary fiber ranging from 70-80 percent. Because they are derived from wheat and potatoes, they possess a neutral flavor, white color and smooth texture, and as a result can be incorporated into a wide range of foods, such as bread, tortillas, muffins, waffles, breakfast cereals, cookies, nutritional bars and snack foods.
MGP also has a business alliance with Cargill Inc. (www.cargill.com), Minneapolis, for the production and marketing of a resistant starch product called Fibersym HA. The product is derived from high-amylose corn and is suitable for use in a variety of lower-net-carbohydrate food products.
Cargill offered booth visitors a "high-fiber bun" at June's IFT show that included ActiStar resistant starch … as well as a white whole-wheat flour, inulin and high-oleic sunflower oil.
Cargill's European division Cerestar (www.cerestar.com), Mechelen, Belgium, introduced a tapioca-based resistant starch, ActiStar RT, in 2005. ActiStar RT is said to provide the benefits of high fiber in lower net-carbohydrate food formulations. Originally developed with an eye toward the low-carb market, the material is manufactured under an exclusive license granted by MGP. It is made by enzymatically debranching a tapioca maltodextrin and then causing retrogradation so the granules lose their crystalline structure, then aging the solution with cooling to form partially crystalline material that is not attacked by normal stomach enzymes.
ActiStar RT has low water-holding capacity, permitting high levels of inclusion with few formulation changes and a non-gummy texture. Since tapioca, the source of resistant starch in ActiStar RT, is the blandest of all starches it doesn't detract from the desired taste, texture, or appearance of finished products. It is recommended for use in bread, cereal bars, biscuits, cookies and muesli. In beverages, low-fat fermented milks and ultra-pasteurized flavored-milk drinks can be successful vehicles for the product. Since ActiStar RT is a very fine particle, it blends easily with other ingredients and causes no grittiness. This makes it highly suitable for ready-to-use powdered mixes such as instant soups and chocolate drink mixes.
Sugar beets have been a source of fiber that behaves much like resistant starch but tests as fiber. Danisco A/S (www.danisco.com), Ardsley, N.Y., has recommended the use of its Fibrex sugar beet-based product as a fat replacer in meat products. Because much of the fiber is pectin, it produces a thick gel that behaves like fat in certain products. The sugar beet fiber is all natural, non-GMO, GRAS, USDA-approved in meats and poultry and HPB approved in Canada, and it can be obtained in an organic version.
Another fiber product line is the range of oligofructose and inulin products, made from chicory root or rice, produced by Orafti (www.orafti.com), Malvern, Pa. One of the company's newer products, Beneo HP, is a partially hydrolyzed inulin dietary fiber that can be used to replace gelatin. Many of Orafti's products are also available as organic products.
National Starch Food Innovation (www.foodinnovation.com), Bridgewater, N.J., introduced Hi-maize resistant starches in 2002, although flour and meal from Hi-maize high-amylose corn were just introduced in March of this year. The products contain about 25 percent fiber, as tested by AOAC (Method 991.43 or 985.29 for insoluble fiber).
Both the starches and the flour and meal can be used in a wide variety of foods, including breads, pasta or ready-to-eat breakfast cereals without changing the flavor of texture of foods.
National Starch Food Innovation (www.foodinnovation.com), Bridgewater, N.J., the folks who helped put resistant starch on the map, are now putting it on the World Wide Web. The company's web site www.resistantstarch.com is specifically designed to help nutrition professionals catch up and stay up-to-date on this remarkably healthy fiber. Anything you ever needed or wanted to know about resistant starch is now at your fingertips 24/7.
Glycemic index alone doesn't encourage fiber consumption, which offers the most (weight management) advantage. The 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend consuming 14g of fiber per 1,000 calories consumed. A typical adult male consuming 2,500 calories would require 35g of fiber daily, while a typical adult female consuming 2,000 calories would require 28g of fiber daily.
The entire daily recommended intake of dietary fiber could be consumed from Hi-maize without negative digestive side effects associated with other forms of fiber. Use of those amounts of fiber as resistant starch from Hi-maize flour or meal can be accommodated in a wide variety of foods, including bread, cereals and pastas.
Nearly 800 studies are published concerning resistant starches and various disease states, such as diabetes, cardiovascular conditions, metabolic syndrome and cancer. As these carbohydrate products are better understood, and as their role in digestion is elucidated, the multipurpose nature of these ingredients will be clearer.
The difference between resistant starch and fiber is currently partly a regulatory issue. More and more studies indicate both are helpful in metabolism and in affecting fat digestion, as well as reducing some aspects of diabetes.

Milwaukee is an old industrial city. And one of the centers of that industry was The Historic 3rd Ward of the city, just south of downtown. For many years, this area was run down and in disrepair. Today it is one of the places in Milwaukee where the development of high end housing, shops and restaurants have changed the life of neighborhood.
The 3rd Ward was first developed in the early 1830's. It was mostly a community of Irish immigrants. The businesses were mainly warehouses and factories, due to its proximity to the mouth of the Milwaukee River and the railroad that came in in the 1850's, connecting Milwaukee to the Mississippi River. In 1892 the ward was deeply damaged by a huge fire that destroyed over 440 building and left over 1000 families homeless. As the 3rd Ward was being rebuilt over the next 30 years, they developed a community of buildings that were all very similar in style and today present a unified look throughout the ward.
Today the 3rd Ward is home to over 500 businesses. It has become the center of Milwaukee's arts and fashion community with boutiques and galleries. It has become the center of one of Milwaukee's largest art events – the monthly Gallery Night, where over 50 art galleries open their doors well in to the evening.
I spent a Saturday morning walking around the 3rd Ward. It is a beautiful mix of old and new. When you walk along the Milwaukee River you can see the old industrial buildings sitting next to new and rebuilt ones. As you walk along the river you get to newer buildings, mostly apartments that have replaced many of the old warehouses in the 3rd ward. If you follow the river you will arrive at the Henry W. Maier Festival Park, which is home to Milwaukee's many summer festivals.
The two primary thoroughfares in the 3rd Ward are N. Water Street and N. Broadway. They run parallel to each other connecting the north to the south ends of the Ward. They are the main shopping and dining streets and get very crowded on a nice summer day.
River overlook at E. Buffalo St.
My Favorite place in the 3rd Ward is the Milwaukee Public Market. Opened in 2005, this is the place to come for really good, fresh food at reasonable prices. Choices include salads and sandwiches, seafood, sausages (Here is a complete list of vendors). You can take your food home, or walk upstairs and enjoy your lunch right there.
One last thing, I spent the day playing with the "monochrome" setting on my camera. Please let me know what you think of the photos.

Appendix 1: The seven Nolan Principles of Public Life
The seven principles are outlined below:
1. Selflessness – Holders of public office should act solely in terms of the public interest.
They should not do so in order to gain financial or other benefits for themselves, their
family or their friends.
2. Integrity – Holders of public office should not place themselves under any financial or
other obligation to outside individuals or organisations that might seek to influence them
in the performance of their official duties.
3. Objectivity – In carrying out public business, including making public appointments,
awarding contracts, or recommending individuals for rewards and benefits, holders of
public office should make choices on merit.
4. Accountability – Holders of public office are accountable for their decisions and
actions to the public and must submit themselves to whatever scrutiny is appropriate to
their office.
5. Openness – Holders of public office should be as open as possible about all the
decisions and actions they take. They should give reasons for their decisions and
restrict information only when the wider public interest clearly demands.
6. Honesty – Holders of public office have a duty to declare any private interests relating
to their public duties and to take steps to resolve any conflicts arising in a way that
protects the public interest.
7. Leadership – Holders of public office should promote and support these principles by
leadership and example.

1Lewis lay in the darkened bedroom, under the blankets, trying to control his nervous breathing. He stared at Monica. She was beautiful -- her light brown skin, big black eyes, and full pink lips. But she lay next to him, silent.He was waiting on her decision.Lewis tried to stop telling himself that it still was too soon, but this week he had bought the ring anyway and, moments ago, presented it to her.She had been asleep only five minutes when Lewis pulled the ring out from under his pillow, slipped it on her finger, then kissed her.Monica stirred. Lewis kissed her again till she had woken."Are you okay?" Monica asked, her voice groggy."Will you?" Lewis said, smiling."What? Will I what?""Will you marry me, baby?"There was no answer. That had been like a minute ago, and still no answer came.Lewis rolled over in bed, turned on his bedside lamp.When he turned back, he saw Monica, her black hair falling into her eyes, staring down at the ring with a pained expression."What's the matter?" Lewis said. "It's a simple question. Yes or no.""You know it's more complicated than that.""No I don't," Lewis said, throwing the blankets off and climbing out of bed. "Just answer it.""I haven't even been divorced a year yet. I'm not trying to jump back into a marriage this minute.""Or you aren't trying to jump back into marriage with me?""Lewis," Monica said, turning, glancing at the alarm clock. "I'm not having this conversation. It's almost two in the morning.""Fine," Lewis said, moving his tall brown frame to the dresser and sliding open a drawer. He pulled out a pair of jeans, put them on."What are you doing?" Monica said, sitting up."I asked you to be with me. You said you don't want to, so I'm leaving." He pulled a T-shirt over his muscled torso.Monica hurried out of bed, around to him. "I didn't say that. I said I wasn't ready to get married yet.""It's the same thing."Lewis had on shoes now. He moved quickly through the room, grabbing a bag, stuffing it full of the first clothes he yanked from the closet."Where are you going?" Monica asked after Lewis opened the bedroom door."I don't know. We'll find a place."Monica halted there in her nightgown. "What do you mean, we?""I'm not leaving my daughter here with you. You don't want me, you don't want her either," he said, staring right in her eyes, as if expecting this to change Monica's decision.Lewis turned, walked down the hall toward the three-year-old's room.Monica followed behind him, whispering, "Why are you doing this?"Lewis carefully opened his daughter's bedroom door. Inside, a night-light burned, painting the entire room a dim gold color.He bent over her small bed, slid his arms under her, and scooped Layla up in her blankets.Monica pulled on his arm."Don't. Don't do this now. At least wait till the morning.""So you can say no then." Lewis turned to her, the child in his arms. "You know what'll make me stay. Just say yes."Monica loved the man and his daughter. She didn't want them to leave. But she could not let herself be manipulated into agreeing to marry him. She dropped her head. "I can't do that right now."Lewis held out his palm.Monica glanced down at it. "What?""The ring, please."Copyright 2008 by R. Marcus Johnson2Five A.M.

A Castro Valley woman was arrested Friday for allegedly drowning her 3-year-old daughter in a bathtub during a visit to relatives.
Jennifer Bigham, 23, was being held without bail in the Stanislaus County Jail on suspicion of child abuse and murder in the death of her daughter, Alexandrea, sheriff's deputies said.
Deputies were dispatched to a home on the 400 block of Thrush Drive in Patterson, 20 miles southwest of Modesto, at about 6 p.m. Thursday on a report of a bathtub drowning, sheriff's officials said.
They found Alexandrea unresponsive. She was flown by helicopter to a Modesto hospital, where she clung to life for several hours before dying at 9:50 p.m., sheriff's officials said.
Statements from family members and evidence at the house led investigators to conclude that Alexandrea's mother had drowned her, Deputy Andrew Winter said. He declined to provide details.
At some point, Bigham stabbed herself in the upper torso, deputies said. After being treated at the hospital, she was booked into jail around 12:30 a.m.
"She's not really speaking to anybody," Winter said. "She wouldn't really cooperate with jail staff."

Q: Calculating Haversine Distance for large data set of Latitude/Longitudes with another data frame then returning corresponding data with Python I have over 1 million rows of Latitude Longitude positions. My goal is to check each of these rows against a data set of about 43000 ZipCodes that have a central Latitude Longitude.
I want to calculate the haversine distance between each row with the large ZipCodes list. I then want to take the closest lat/long and return that or the corresponding zip code to the left most frame (in essence, giving the closest ZipCode to the latitude/longitudes in the large frame.
I have tried several things including vectorized haversine functions and looping through each row, calculating and moving to next but I can't quite get them to work. Given the large size of my data I know that simply looping through each row and calculating won't work. I need a new solution. I think it might involve vectorization.
Here are some sample frames of my data. df is the large frame I am trying to calculate the smallest distance from the zip_list and return the corresponding zip code to the large frame.
    df = pd.DataFrame(np.array([[42.801104,-76.827879],[38.187102,-83.433917],
   [35.973115,-83.955932]]), columns = ['Lat', 'Long'])

    zip_list = pd.DataFrame(np.array([[49544, 42.999561,-85.75371],[49648,
    45.000254,-85.3651],[49654, 45.023384,-85.75697],[50265,
    41.570916,-93.73568]]), columns = ['ZipCode', 'Latitude', 'Longitude'])

I would like to return the minimum distance zip code to the corresponding row in the df frame.
Any ideas would be great. I am a beginner with vectorization and numpy/pandas.

Q: Definition of homotopy classes of simple closed curves I don´t know whether this kind of questions should be asked here or not.
I am trying to explain the concept of a homotopy class of simple closed curves (that is, the vertices of curve complexes) to someone who are not familiar with topological operations.
The first way is the one I like most. Define the simple closed curves as embedded image of circle, and then define two curves to be homotopic if and only if they can be connected by the operations given by moving out a bigon.
The second one is more nature for people who knows the definitions of homotopic maps. Just define the simple closed curves as maps from circles to the surface and define the homotopic class using the definitions of homotopic maps. But this explanation is not enough. This definition is exactly the definition of homotopy classes of oriented simple closed curves. What we really care is the embedded image, so we need to add that, if two curves with same image but different orientations, they are the same. But then, this explanation is not so neat for me now.
How can we explain the definition of homotopy classes of simple closed curves both neatly and naturally for people not working on geometry and topology.

A: You don't want to think about the curve as a parametrized object, it is just a curve on the surface. So you can do your second definition up to reparameterization of the circle (which is basically the same as up to orientation). Perhaps you like this view better or way of stating it better.


Sour Sorbet by DNA Genetics is nicknamed the "Original Sorbet" because of her distinctive flavour that has won over many cannabis connoisseurs. She is an excellent choice for all those who love the flavour of Sour Diesel, which has been masterfully blended with DNA Genetics' Sorbet line to create this cultivar. Get ready for a true mouth-watering smoking experience!
To make Sour Sorbet, DNA Genetics took an old favourite, Sour Diesel, and crossed her with an outstanding specimen from their very own Sorbet range. Out comes a great indica-dominant hybrid that shines with very good yields, fast growth, and an incredible taste!
This 60% indica grows into a medium-tall plant. Due to her short vegetative phase, she can flower a little longer. In about 9 weeks, sometimes a little more, she will be brimming with tons of large and densely packed buds, bringing about 500g/m² to the table. What's more, her fat buds will be covered with thick layers of frosty resin that, thanks to her great terpene profile, emanate an intense and very tempting scent. This makes Sour Sorbet an excellent choice for hash-making and concentrates.
Your taste buds will be in for a true treat when you smoke Sour Sorbet. She blends Diesel notes with the creamy notes of Sorbet for a mouth-watering sweet 'n' sour tang that will make it difficult to put the lady down once you get your first taste! Perfectly with this highly enjoyable taste goes her effect. She starts you out with a nice uplifting buzz that gradually evolves into an awesomely relaxing euphoria. This happy smoke will put a smile across your face in no time!
Sour Sorbet by DNA Genetics offers all you could wish for from an outstanding indica hybrid. Plant your seed and have a toke, and don't miss out on what this girl has to offer!

Why buy playdough when you can make it yourself and turn it into a fun craft for kids? Using koolaid to colour your play dough gives it a cool scent and vibrant color.
With the help of an adult mix all the ingredients in a pot.
Cook and stir mixture over medium heat for 3-5 minutes.
Your mixture will look like a big globby mess. Don't worry.
When the mixture forms a ball in the center of the pot put it on a lightly floured surface and knead.
Be careful not to burn your hands. The mixture will be hot from cooking. Ask an adult to check the temperature of the dough and if it is too hot wait for it to cool down and then knead it.
Store your play dough in an airtight container or bag.

Q: How to keep Vim's visual mode selection while scrolling with Ctrl-F? When I select text in Vim's visual mode, scrolling with Ctrl-F cancels the selection. How can I keep the selection while scrolling (with Ctrl-F)?

A: This happens on Windows with the default configuration, which calls :behave mswin, which in turn sets
keymodel=startsel,stopsel

The stopsel tells Vim to stop the selection if the cursor keys, End, Home, PageUp, PageDown are pressed. For some reason Ctrl-F seems to trigger PageDown.
To change this behavior, you can remove stopsel from the keymodel setting:
:e $HOME/_gvimrc

and add the following:
" Prevent CTRL-F to abort the selection (in visual mode)
" This is caused by $VIM/_vimrc ':behave mswin' which sets 'keymodel' to
" include 'stopsel' which means that non-shifted special keys stop selection.
set keymodel=startsel

Home Capitol Hillbillies Will Congress see full Mueller report?
Lawmakers appear increasingly nervous that Congress and the public won't see a full report when special counsel Robert Mueller is finished with his Russia probe, including what the investigation finds about President Donald Trump.
Republicans and Democrats say they support public disclosure of Mueller's findings. But it's unclear exactly what documentation will be produced at the end of the probe into possible coordination between Trump associates and Russia, and how much of that the Justice Department will allow people to see. Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker said Monday that the probe is "close to being completed," the first official sign that Mueller's investigation may be wrapping up.
Democrats have pressured Trump's attorney general nominee, William Barr, on the full release of Mueller's final report. Lawmakers in both parties have maintained that there will have to be some sort of public resolution when the report is done — and privately hope that a report shows conclusions that are favorable to their own side.

Cimbala and Scouras learn the problems regarding the regulate of nuclear guns within the early twenty first century. those concerns are either technical and coverage orientated; technology and values are commingled. which means arguments approximately nuclear technique, hands keep watch over, and proliferation are apt to be contentious and complicated. The authors search to supply readers with a fuller, extra exact realizing of the problems involved.
They start by means of interpreting the loopy arithmetic of nuclear fingers races and hands keep watch over that preoccupied analysts and policymakers throughout the chilly warfare. After analyzing balance modeling, they argue for a extra accomplished definition of strategic balance they usually relate this extra inclusive thought to the present courting among the USA and Russia—one characterised by means of cooperation in addition to festival. They then use the idea that of friction to investigate how the distance among thought and perform may effect nuclear strength operations and hands keep watch over. the matter of nuclear guns unfold or proliferation is then thought of from the vantage aspect of either concept and coverage. They finish with an research of no matter if the USA could get by means of within the twenty first century with fewer legs of its strategic nuclear triplet than guns in keeping with land, at sea, and airborne. A provocative research for hands keep an eye on policymakers, strategists, and scholars, students, and different researchers concerned with nuclear guns issues.
Occasionally winning and infrequently no longer, arms-control agreements are strenuously negotiated by way of the events concerned, but they fast turn into out of date as know-how advances and new guns come at the scene. hence, such agreements are top understood strategically, now not as leads to themselves, yet fairly as one crucial road of securing nationwide and international security—an vital technique of permitting nations around the globe to determine their modifications on the negotiating desk rather than at the battlefield.
North Korea's trying out of a nuclear bomb despatched out a surprise wave during the international and absolutely replaced the strategic equation within the Korean peninsula and Northeast Asia. This checking out has far-reaching implications for Korean peace and unification, Northeast Asian protection and America's international battle on terrorism.
Whereas overseas protection has considerably replaced seeing that 1989, nuclear guns stay a subject matter of dialogue and competition. This paper presents an analytical framework for knowing post-Cold conflict Europe's strategic debates. It deals insights into Europe's nationwide nuclear rules and views.

The compounds of basil have antimicrobial properties, inhibiting and breaking down the growth of harmful bacteria.
Basil contains eugenol, which has been shown to effectively relieve inflammation.
The combined components in basil can lower both glucose levels within the blood as well as lower cholesterol. This helps prevent cardiovascular disease and the resulting risk of heart attack.
Basil contains some powerful anti-oxidants that help protect the body on a cellular level from free-radicals.
Basil is extremely rich in vitamin K, an essential vitamin used for many bodily processes.
It has a high vitamin C content, helping support a healthy immune and central nervous system.
Basil contains a large amount of vitamin A, used to maintain healthy skin and eyes.
Basil also contains a very large amounts of other nutrients, such as iron and manganese, all of which help keep the body in tip top condition.


I found some pickled Brazilian 'little beak' peppers (pimenta biquinho em conserva) in the supermarket and I knew instantly what to do with them.
It's a very simple variation on a spicy martini recipe I've made before.
Notable ingredients include tabasco sauce or hot sauce. I use both but you could omit one if you wanted. The hot sauce adds colour, while both add a fiery element to the drink.
Pour the vermouth, the hot sauce and tabasco into a martini glass and stir. Add the gin or vodka and stir again, then garnish with the pickled peppers on a toothpick or skewer.
It's good for whetting your appetite before a meal, if you can actually finish it.

AppGuard Closes a $30 Million Series B to Accelerate Growth in Enterprise and SMB Markets
Series B funding brings total financing to $100m for AppGuard since April
Chantilly, VA – September 14 – 2017 – AppGuard LLC, maker of intelligent prevention endpoint protection software, announced today that it has secured a more than $30 million Series B financing round led by Japan's JTB Corporation. The funding will be used to finalize the acquisition of KeepTree, Inc., a leader in secure video communication technology, and increase AppGuard's brand awareness in both enterprise and SMB markets. In addition, the company announced the appointment of KeepTree's CEO, technology and security veteran Jon Loew as its new CEO. Loew will also serve as Global CMO and Board Director of parent company Blue Planet Works. Several other top KeepTree executives will also join the AppGuard team.
This added capital comes just three months after an investor group led by ANA Airlines, Dai Ichi Life Insurance, global advertising juggernaut Dentsu, and several other Japanese companies contributed more than $65m to AppGuard's parent company, Blue Planet-works, Inc., a Tokyo, Japan-based company. The funding was used to re-launch the brand, which was revealed at cybersecurity event Black Hat USA in Las Vegas, last month.
"Today's sophisticated security threats have rendered traditional detection-based security software virtually useless and has forced the world to look for revolutionary new endpoint security solutions like AppGuard." said Loew. "AppGuard's dynamic isolation approach to cyber security is the definition of disruptive. There isn't a large enterprise out there who wouldn't benefit from our technology."
AppGuard is based on patented dynamic isolation technology. It prevents all endpoint breaches while allowing applications and the computer systems to operate correctly. It is simple for ordinary computer administrators to manage because it is not complex. AppGuard is less than 1MB in size -- other vendor products are more than 100 times larger.
ANA's head of Cyber Security commented that ""from the perspective of the enterprise, defending against advanced threats is a constant battle. We have high hopes for this new cyber defense technology offered by AppGuard®, and we also believe that this technology will reduce our overall security spend moving forward."
