Tuesday's article on classic digital cameras has raised a great deal of interest and produced some very helpful comments. David Babsky has submitted a shedload of suggestions while others have highlighted their particular favourite. This is clearly a subject close to the hearts of many Macfilos readers. Let's wait a week or two and then make a list of all the suggestions. I'll let you see the result and perhaps we can have a vote on the all-time digital mirrorless camera (and we might make the Leica M an honourable mirrorless for the occasion).
Generally speaking, though, I have a love-hate relationship with these lists — you know the sort, the ten-best corkscrews ever invented, the 20 best nail clippers to let loose on your toes. It mostly goes over my head even though I know why bloggers, in particular, revere this particular genre. It is good click bait. Who can resist when the list covers a subject of interest — such as cameras and lenses in our case?
Few could deny that the Leica M3, seen here in the early double-stroke version, deserves a place in the top-ten film cameras of all time. This shot was taken by Claus Sassenberg of his own M3 and featured in his Macfilos article here .
I was thus inspired to click on Jason Schneider's 20-best list in Shutterbug. Jason has put together two top-ten lists covering, alternately, film cameras and digital cameras. I find he has done a really good job but you can judge for yourself. As always, choices are very subjective and prone to personal prejudice, but we can all identify cameras on this list that we know are there by right. Who could or would argue with the inclusion of the Leica I Model A, for instance? Some might add personal favourites, such as the Kodak Vest Pocket camera or the venerable Leica Digilux 2, but there has to be an arbiter and not everything can be included.
All of us could tune Jason's choice, particularly since we are all partial to cameras we have actually owned. I readily admit a prejudice against DSLRs, not because there aren't great examples to cite, but because I changed my mindset in favour of rangefinder and mirrorless when I sold my last Nikon outfit some eight years ago. I have therefore lost touch with developments in DSLRs and tend to put them out of my mind.
Amberlands as seen through the talented eye of John Brockliss with his Leica M9 — another worthy member of the top-ten digitals list. Find John's Macfilos article here .
While it's tempting to fiddle, there's a lot of sense in the cameras he chooses. They are by and large milestone products. Many went on to even greater things in subsequent iterations. For instance, it is tempting to swap the M10 for the M9 simply because it is the latest and greatest. But that would be a mistake, as I am sure you appreciate. In future years, when the M10 has been superseded with the newest and greatest, the choice of the M10 at this stage would appear perverse. The M9 is rightly there (note not the M8) because it was the first full-frame digital from Leica.
Do you think Jason has missed some important milestones or, perhaps, included something you with which you violently disagree? Let's start another discussion on this and, maybe, it will help in our quest for the winning classic digital.
For the full Shutterbug review, including lots of nice camera pictures, see here.
I did something like this before for Macfilos, but the emphasis was on historical significance rather than personal preference and it was in the middle of an article about the Rolleiflex http://macfilos.com/photo/2017/12/11/rolleiflex-120-film-more-megapixels. I would certainly recommend the book ' A History of Photography in 50 Cameras' by Michael Pritchard FRPS for anyone who wants to look at the history of camera development over the past 180 years. I agree generally with Jason's first list, but I would probably have included a folding camera of some kind, perhaps in place of the Pentax K1000. It is probably too soon to start producing lists of greatest digital cameras, although some young people have only known digital photography and some older ones have forgotten about what film photography was about. That being said, I do know of a few people, some of them quite young, who are getting into pre-film photography such as calotypes and wet plates.
Nikon Df was late 2013 or early 2014 by my reckoning as it uses the sensor from the D4. Which was around for the 2012 olympics.
This is still very subjective to the person shooting them, as I always say the D300s is preferable to the D90, but then I would as I still shoot with the D300s – as I brought it out of retirement two days ago, and had real blast with it.
In the list of digitals, I think fujifilm x100 deserves a place. For me, that was the first, portable digital camera of certain professional quality. PS – I'm not a Fuji fanboy as I've had A7RIII and A7ii since then.
Okay here is my pennies worth. On the film camera list I would add the Nikon FM2 because it was a real work horse and at least for me the only thing missing was spot metering. I think I had couple for about 10 years and never wanted to 'upgrade'. Oh I wish things were the same now in some ways. It wasn't a milestone camera it was the end of the line camera and that is what made it so good. In my opinion of course. It was very widely used by pro photographers and tough enough to abuse without concern for its well being.
If it's about landmarks, the Epson R-D1 should be on the digital list. They built a Leica before Leica did!
Number 1 and number 2 – the Nikon NC2000AP and Apple QuickTake – were pioneering cameras, but without very much practical use, compared with No. 3, the Sony Mavica.
I think, however, that the Mavica (MAgneticVIdeoCAmera) FD7 was a more useful camera than the FD5; it had (has) an autofocus 10x zoom, which was unheard of till then.
Numbers 4 and 5 – the Nikon D1 and the Canon EOS-1Ds – were hugely expensive, and used by a few news photographers, but number 6 – the Canon EOS Digital Rebel (in the US), known as the Canon 300D in Europe – 'democratised' all that, and was, as I'd said previously, the first "affordable" (sub £1000) digital SLR, which you could use just like a film camera, but without the restriction of 36-to-a-roll, same ISO for every shot, and waiting a week – or maybe a day, if black & white – for the chemical processing. Like having infinite Polaroids.
Number 7, the Panasonic-Lumix DMC-G1; I'd swap that for – as I said before – the GF1: similar capabilities, but smaller, lighter, and obviously a new breed of camera, distinct from the SLR-lookalikes. As DPReview said: "..The GF1 is essentially a G1 (with a couple of GH1 features and the loss of a handful of scene modes) squashed into a body that's more or less the same size as the [Olympus] E-P1 – it occupies 35% less volume and is 26% lighter than the G1".
I agree completely with 8, 9, and 10: Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Leica M9 and Sony A7R II ..with an honourable mention going to the Olympus E-M5 and the Sony A7S.

Dollhouse is an American science fiction television series created by writer and director Joss Whedon under Mutant Enemy Productions. It premiered on February 13, 2009, on the Fox network and was officially cancelled on November 11, 2009. The final episode aired on January 29, 2010. Production wrapped in December 2009, with a total of 27 episodes produced.
The show revolves around a corporation running numerous underground establishments (known as "Dollhouses") across the globe which program individuals referred to as Actives (or Dolls) with temporary personalities and skills. Wealthy clients hire Actives from Dollhouses at great expense for various purposes. The series primarily follows the Active known as Echo, played by Eliza Dushku (who also served as producer), on her journey towards self-awareness.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by plants participate in numerous functions in the biological and chemical environment. They signal the interaction plant-insect and also act on the chemical defenses of plants and plant-plant communication. There is substantial evidence that plants attacked by insects induce the formation of new VOCs which are not produced by healthy plants.These volatiles, called inducible volatiles, are also sensed by herbivores and preys, acting as natural repellents. Also, the inducible volatiles participate in atmospheric chemistry, scavenging ozone and hydroxyl radicals as well as producing secondary organic aerosol. These processes can reduce the atmospheric levels of these volatiles so that the bouquet could no longer be sensed by the organisms. In this way, there might be the disruption and /or breakdown of trophic interactions and other ecological functions mediated by these compounds.The fragmentation of natural ecosystems leads to more native species being exposed to contaminated atmospheres and, therefore, there might be a better understanding of the contaminant effects in the ecological interactions. Ozone is a phytotoxic atmospheric pollutant of major worldwide concern, being ambiguous and present in concentrations of risk to the vegetal ecosystems. However, the VOCs emitted by plants are strongly reactive with ozone, generating subparticles which lead to the formation of secondary aerosol, made up of a mixture of organic complex containing semi-volatile compounds with similar chemical structures of the original volatile. Moreover, these particles can be deposited on the leaves themselves, preventing the stomatal opening and the release of more volatiles. Also, semi-volatiles from subparticles could have the same role in the interactions of those original volatiles. Thus, the action of ozone in the functions of volatiles in the environment can be either overwhelming or void, and this may also be dependent upon the adaptation of plants to the atmosphere. So, this fact could lead to the inactivation of the current VOC and /or the generation of the most active volatiles in ecological interactions and the less active ones in atmospheric chemistry. The project proposed aims to elucidate the action of ozone on ecological interactions mediated by volatile organic compounds from native plants, such as Astronium graveolens Jacq., Croton floribundus Spreng. and Piptadenia gonoacantha (Mart.) Macbr. Thus, the development of the project may help to understand the many questions about the disturbances in vegetal ecosystems promoted by the polluted atmosphere. (AU)

(NaturalNews) The following compilation describes a long list of the most valuable foods on the planet, which were sought by kings of ancient civilizations. Olive oil was used to anoint kings; chia seeds were used as an energy source by Aztec warriors, and only the emperors of ancient China's Ming Dynasty were allowed to eat of the "forbidden rice" (black rice). The Romans fed their gladiators barley. And the "New World" discovery of America by Europeans was nothing more than an attempt to find a new path to the spices of India. Little did Columbus and his crews know that the Native Americans already figured out natural remedies long, long before that. These ancient cultures traded too.
Question: Do you really "eat healthy" or do you just think that you do? How much do you really know about what the ancient kings knew back then, that you could be making your very own staple diet?
It doesn't really matter if you "think" you eat healthy, if you don't. You can eat salad every day, but if that salad has been sprayed with pesticides and watered and washed with fluoridated water, it's more than useless to your body -- it's downright damaging. And you can eat your "apple a day" to keep the doctor away, but the doctor's office is exactly where you will go if that apple, along with all your other fruit, is doused with pesticides. Plus, many of the herbs and tinctures used for several millennia aren't even for sale in typical grocery stores, nor are they served up in commonplace, franchises and corporate-owned and -run restaurants. No wonder so many million people have compromised immune systems and allergies to so many foods, medicines and skin care products!
Your "average" diet (or lack thereof) is usually chock-full of GMOs and cooked, processed foods. These foods are grown in soil that is VOID of nutrients, and that means that the foods are lacking in nutrition, if not completely devoid of any. Nutrition needs to be absorbable by the human body, so your billions of enzymes can "turn on" and do their job protecting you. It's time to TURN ON your enzymes with the foods of the ancient kings.
The Roman Kings: Herbs, garlic, rosemary, thyme, basil and cucumbers were basic Roman staple. Some of these they imported from Asia and Africa. Their beets, cumin and mustard came from Mesopotamia.
Chinese Emperors: Invaluable crops like cabbage, peas and beans were grown in China. Recent archaeological finds include Chinese culinary cultures using bronze for cooking utensils and tableware from as far back as 1600 BC during the Shang Dynasty. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, more than 2,000 staff of the imperial palace prepared these foods for the emperor and his family. Historians believe that the Shang people mastered steaming and stir frying 3,000 years ago.
Egyptian Pharaohs: Fresh apples, apricots, cherries, grapes, figs, dates, melons, pomegranates, pears, and plums were consumed in Egypt, Greece, Mesopotamia, Rome and China.
The Aztecs: Their diet included corn, avocados, tomatoes, squash, beans and peppers. Chocolate was reserved for warriors and nobility.
Incan Royalty: The food of Incan royalty was similar to the Aztecs but also included quinoa, mushrooms and exotic fruits.
First, start off with some medicinal mushrooms like chaga, reishi and lion's mane. Plus, build immunity with bioavailable supplements. Then check out parsley root tonics, herbal teas, marine phytoplankton, the world's cleanest chlorella, spirulina, raw and organic turmeric, raw and organic coconut oil, probiotics, digestive enzymes, diatomaceous earth, vitamin D3, the "good" kind of calcium, goji, acai and noni berries, maca powder, and of course mucuna (legume) powder (helps smokers quit smoking naturally).
So don't get caught up in your "average" diet. Eat superfoods and fill your days with energy, vitality, intelligence, creativity and immunity. Be smart. Read the labels on everything that you eat, drink and put on your skin. Herbs, tinctures and root tonics have been around Earth forever, but most Americans don't even try them because they've never known where to find quality nutrition.

Q: Reading CSV using python to store in GCP Big query I'm new to Python and GCP , working on loading data from CSV using Python to Big Query.
Sample program is working fine using this documentation -
https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/loading-data-cloud-storage-csv
I'm getting data from other data base by creating CSV file , when I look at the data in Excel it looks good but in Textpad or notepad , if there are any extra spaces in the values like '  myname' instead of 'myname' it's reading as next row instead of single row ..by doing so it's give me extra row with less column..error - csv table references column position 1234 but line starting at position 12345 contains only 9 columns instead 10 columns..
Example :
Big Query Table :
Column A
Column B
Column C
CSV File Data:
Name,Test,Text
Name, Test2,Text - This link in Excel looks good ..going to 3 different columns but when I look at in Text pad it shows as Name," - This in 1 row
Test2,Text --This data in another row
1 split into 2 rows..how to avoid these while reading data from CSV using python .
Pls advice.

Singapore confirms first case of H1N1
Posted: 27 May 2009 1033 hrs
SINGAPORE: Singapore has confirmed its first case of Influenza A (H1N1).
The patient is currently being treated at the Communicable Disease Centre at Tan Tock Seng Hospital and is in stable condition.
The patient is a 22-year-old Singaporean woman who was in New York from May 14-24.
She arrived back in Singapore from New York on SQ25 on 26 May at 6.30am. While seated in row 55 on Singapore Airlines flight SQ25, she began to develop a cough, but she passed the thermal scanner at the airport later without being stopped, because she did not have a fever at the time.
Later in the morning, she consulted a GP who decided to send her to TTSH via a 993 ambulance, given her travel history.
She was immediately admitted for testing. Laboratory confirmation of her infection was made by midnight of 26 May.
The patient has been vigilant in monitoring her own condition and had sought immediate medical attention once she realized that she was unwell.
Her attending GP, through his quick response in activating the 993 ambulance for the patient, had also helped to minimize the spread of infection from this case.
The Health Ministry says it has initiated contact tracing of her close contacts. They will be quarantined and provided with antiviral prophylaxis.
Passengers who had travelled in the same flight and were seated in rows 52 to 58 are urged to call the hotline at 1800-333 9999 to enable the MOH to check on their health condition.
The MOH adds that all medical practitioners and healthcare institutions should continue to be vigilant to suspect cases.
Singapore will continue with temperature screening for passengers entering Singapore at all checkpoints (land, sea and air).
All passengers passing through or entering Singapore are given Health Alert Notices on board their flights, advising them to monitor their own health if they have been to affected areas and to seek medical attention immediately if they are not well.

I too find this incredibly annoying. I actually told Michael Flaherty, who happened to be greeting people outside the polling place in the South End as he was running for mayor, that I was voting AGAINST him for robocalling me nearly every day for 2 weeks, not FOR Menino. I have called Pagliuca's office several times to be removed from the calling list, and tonight actually go through to a human. I told the guy that if Pagliuca can't keep this kind of promise, to remove me from his calling list, it certainly suggests that he won't keep any of his election promises.

Seychelles Map

The Seychelles' 115 granite and coral islands extend from between 4 and 10 degrees south of the equator and lie between 480km and 1,600km from the east coast of Africa in the western Indian Ocean.
The Seychelles' climate is one which is always warm and does not reach extremes of heat or cold. The temperature rarely drops below 24°C or rises above 32°C.
Seychelles is a comparatively young nation which can trace its first settlement back to 1770 when the islands were first settled by the French, leading a small party of whites, Indians and Africans.
Seychelles' 115 islands fall under two distinct groups. The tall granite, Inner Islands cluster mainly within the relatively shallow Seychelles' plateau, 4° south of the equator and roughly 1800 km. distant from the east coast of Africa while the low-lying coralline cays, atolls and reef islands of the Outer Islands lie mainly beyond the plateau up to 10° south of the equator.
In the evolution of its society, Seychelles has remained faithful to its multi-ethnic roots. For over two centuries, the islands have remained a melting pot of different races, traditions and religions from the four corners of the earth.
The cosmopolitan Seychellois are a colourful blend of peoples of different races, cultures and religions.
Seychelles is a living museum of natural history and a sanctuary for some of the rarest species of flora & fauna on earth.
The rapidly changing face of Seychelles' accommodation scene, in which new and renovated establishments are coming on line regularly, is providing visitors with wider choice and greater options in their selection of holiday accommodation.
With so much diversity on offer, knowing where to start your journey of discovery and what paths to follow requires a degree of thought. Our itineraries help you to make the most of your holiday by introducing you to the islands in a logical way.

ADF: U.S. Senate should not pass 'hate crimes' bill
Bill would 'enforce orthodoxy of political correctness,' stifle free speech
WASHINGTON — Alliance Defense Fund attorneys warn that the U.S. Senate should not pass H.R. 1913, the so-called 'hate crimes' bill. If it becomes law, ADF attorneys say the bill could severely impede Americans' constitutional rights to freedom of religion and freedom of expression while creating additional legal protections for those engaged in homosexual behavior that are not available to everyone else.
"All violent crimes are hate crimes, and all crime victims deserve equal justice," said ADF Senior Counsel Kevin Theriot. "So-called 'hate crime' laws actually serve only one purpose: The criminalization of citizens based on whatever thoughts, beliefs, and emotions they have that are not considered to be 'politically correct.' No one should fall for the idea that this bill does anything to bring about greater justice for Americans."
ADF attorneys delivered a letter to the House Judiciary Committee on April 22 urging it to reject the bill. The letter noted that the enforcement of "political orthodoxy" in the form of so-called "hate crime" laws is being used to target sincere people of faith, including a small photography company in New Mexico which was fined by the state's Human Rights Commission for declining to photograph a "commitment ceremony" between two women. New Mexico does not recognize "marriages" between members of the same sex.
"The emotion of hate is an unfortunate reality of the human experience," the ADF letter stated. "But it is not a crime unless accompanied by a criminal action--and even then it is the action that is within the police power of the government, not the emotion. The reality is that 'hate' crime laws are designed to punish people for what they think, feel, or believe. The crime itself that is committed is already punished under various federal and state criminal laws."
The U.S. House passed its version of the bill by a vote of 249-175. The Senate will now consider whether or not the bill should become law.
ADF letter to the U.S. House Judiciary Committee
ADF is a legal alliance of Christian attorneys and like-minded organizations defending the right of people to freely live out their faith. Launched in 1994, ADF employs a unique combination of strategy, training, funding, and litigation to protect and preserve religious liberty, the sanctity of life, marriage, and the family.

Surgery to repair a torn earlobe is a frequent occurrence as piercing an earlobe puts it at risk to tearing. The size, style and weight of an earring can also contribute to the stretching of the earlobe opening. This is also impacted by how large the earlobe is and how low the piercing was placed. Large earrings that dangle are caught on clothing or grasped by a child. The outcome may be a partially or completely torn earlobe. This can never be corrected by simply gluing the split closed. This is due to the fact that the process of the splitting is usually slow and new skin forms as the hole enlarges. Repair of a torn earlobe occurs using a local anesthetic. The procedure consists of "freshening" the edges of the split and placement of sutures to complete the repair of the earlobe. Sutures remain in for 7 days. After that the earlobe will remain un-pierced for 3 months. After that time, Dr. Zochowski will re-pierce the earlobe with a sterile needle a small distance away from the scar.
There are many styles and trends that define who we are. Personal expression is important. However, these trends may change over time. The repair of a gauge ear requires specialized techniques. This type of earlobe CANNOT be treated the same way as a split lobe. A rotational flap, downsizing of tissues, and repositioning is required. This can restore the earlobe to a quite pleasing, smaller shape. This procedure can be done in the office as well under local anesthesia.
Piercing an earlobe also puts it at risk for development of a keloid. A keloid is a scar that grows beyond the edges of the piercing. A keloid is typically thick, nodular, itchy, red or darker in color than the surrounding skin.
The keloid of the earlobe is initially treated by injecting a steroid medication directly into the scar tissue to reduce redness, itching, and burning. A steroid is a potent anti inflammatory. The medication takes 2 weeks to take effect and may be repeated every 8 weeks.
If the medication does not decrease the size and firmness, surgical excision is undertaken with the understanding that the keloid can recur in the earlobe, sometimes even larger than before. Often, multiple modalities are used at this stage with surgical excision coupled with injection of a steroid. During the surgery, a minimal trauma / minimal touch technique is used. Compression earrings or silicone sheeting is encouraged after this surgery. To discourage keloid recurrence in the serial earlobe steroid injections or radiation therapy may be used as an adjunct with surgery. Radiation is usually a last resort.

Cuando yo ejecuto python manage.py collectstatic mis archivos estáticos son subidos a Amazon S3 en mi respectivo bucket, dentro de un directorio llamado assets acorde a mi configuración dada. Esto trabaja bien como es esperado.
El inconveniente surge cuando existen imágenes que son subidas por actividad de los usuarios en mi aplicación, más precisamente cuando un usuario sube una imágen de su avatar.
Cuando lo hace a través del admin de Django (este admin no será utilizado por los usuarios) la imagen sube bien, pero cuando lo hago a través de mi aplicación, la imagen no sube, tal como se muestra acá.

Porque en mi administrador de Django las imágenes son subidas a S3 pero en mi aplicación desde un forms.ModelForm no se suben las imágenes?
¿He pasado alguna directiva de configuración por alto?
He visto que existe esta alternativa de una aplicación de terceros para ser utilizada, que se llama django-s3-storage  pero no la he probado.

A: Creo que estás buscando donde no debes, te parece que el S3 es la causa del problema porque es el elemento con el cual estás menos familiarizado, seguro que esto tiene nombre. Yo buscaría en:

Multimatic plans major expansion | Greater Fort Wayne Inc.
FORT WAYNE, Ind. — Just over a year after moving into Allen County, Multimatic is already growing. The global automotive engineering and manufacturing company today announced plans to create up to 75 jobs by the end of 2021 and invest more than $22 million in an expansion that will nearly double the size of its local facility in New Haven.
Multimatic's plant, located at 2808 Adams Center Road, is on track to grow by an additional 111,000 square feet in 2019. The expansion allows for additional final assembly operations, as demand for the company's products continues to grow. Multimatic expects the expanded space to be fully operational by the end of 2020.
Headquartered near Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Multimatic engineers and manufactures complex mechanisms, body hardware, suspension system components, body structures, and lightweight composite automotive systems. Multimatic also delivers niche vehicle design, development, and production for road and race car applications. In addition to General Motors, Ford, and Fiat Chrysler, Multimatic counts virtually all major auto manufacturers as customers. The company's Allen County plant is its second in Indiana, joining one in Butler.
The company plans to fill a number of important positions, including production operators, maintenance technicians, robotic/controls specialists, and tool and die personnel. Interested applicants can learn more about Multimatic's employment opportunities at careers.multimatic.com.
The IEDC offered Multimatic up to $600,000 in conditional tax credits based on the company's job creation plans. These incentives are performance-based, meaning that until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. Northeast Indiana Works will provide the company with additional hiring and training assistance. New Haven City Council will also consider tax phase-ins for Multimatic's eligible real and personal (equipment) property investments.
Founded in 1984, Multimatic is a global enterprise supplying engineered components, systems and services to the automotive industry. The company operates plants and offices in more than ten countries across North America, Europe, and Asia, serving automotive original equipment manufacturers worldwide. For more information about Multimatic, visit multimatic.com.
Greater Fort Wayne (GFW) Inc. serves Fort Wayne and Allen County, Indiana, as its metro chamber alliance and primary point of contact for economic growth.

Quick. How many gallons of sap does it take to produce one gallon of maple syrup?
When I worked for J.D. Edwards, I would visit our offices in Brussels every now and then. On every visit, I got lost. After half a dozen visits, I complained to one of my Belgian colleagues — that the city and its road signs were very confusing. He was not sympathetic: "Do you know how many times we've been invaded? We don't want you to know where you are."
New Hampshire has a similar feel. Apparently, the state is too poor to afford street signs so it's very difficult to tell what road you're on, much less where you should turn. In the town of Keene, we were supposed to turn left on Main Street and then right on Washington Street. Damned if we could ever find a sign that said Main Street. So three other riders and I wound up making a five-mile mistake. We call them "bonus miles" — we're reducing the overall cost per mile.
The route consisted of lots of ups and downs — no big, long hills, but hundreds of small ones. Every turn introduced a new 100- or 200-yard hill. Then it was down again, only to climb again after the next turn. After four hours of ups and downs — and no road signs — we were all just annoyed. On the other hand, most everything else was great. We had perfect cycling weather — cool and cloudy. The roads
Why three doors?
were nice; the shoulders were exceptionally good. And the scenery — forests, small rivers, pretty little villages, and factories from the Revolutionary era — was exceptional.
With our national elections only 14 months away, I was expecting to see presidential candidates lurking behind every tree. No such luck — apparently they're preoccupied in Iowa. However, I did just speak to Suellen. She had a four-hour flight from Denver to Boston and sat by a Sarah Palin impersonator. Sounds like she has lots of good stories to tell.
So now we're in New Hampshire, where the first potato in the United States was planted in 1719. We have one more day and less than 50 miles to the Atlantic — where we'll dip our front wheels to complete the coast-to-coast marathon. Better yet, Suellen arrives in a couple of hours. I'll get back to you tomorrow.
It takes 40 gallons of sap to produce one gallon of maple syrup.
Day's distance: 83.7 miles (134.7 km)
Day's climb: 6,100 feet (1859.3 meters)

What an amazing acomplishment. Congratulations on an amazing ride. I have been with you the whole way (digitally speaking…much easier actually). When you get back to Denver, let's throw back a few beers (Pinot Noir's?) and I want to hear all the great details. Cheers and be safe on your last few miles. Stephen
So fantastic that you soon are at the Atlantic! You really did it! We are very proud of you! Cheers and hugs from Unn and Stig
Travis, Heartiest Congratulations! What an amazing feat! You do have amazing feet to pedal all that way.

The second round of hearings by the Australian Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse has begun at its Sydney headquarters. It continues to take a "case study" approach whereby a single, well-documented case, which has been through the courts, is used to identify weaknesses in institutional responses and to formulate possible improvements to procedures.
The case used in this hearing is that of YMCA child care employee, Jonathan Lord (pictured below), who was jailed last year for abusing 12 boys in his care, including under the YMCA's child minding service, and through his private business activity. Lord is due for consideration for parole in 2018. The details of the Lord case have been given in an earlier posting of this blog.
The apparent focus of the hearing involves not just the failure of the YMCA to detect Lord's behaviour, but also to scrutinize the grooming process he used. This grooming behaviour is to be regarded as including his behaviours towards parents and other staff, as well as towards his many victims. A matter of obvious concern is that he was so proficient at such an early age, barely into adulthood. A burning question might well be whether he was a "natural" or whether he had obtained advice from more experienced abusers, for example, by way of on-line forums.
The YMCA claims it had checked out Lord's Australian references, but was not aware that he had been asked to leave a similar position with the YMCA in the U.S. over allegations of inappropriate behaviour. Like many young Australians, he had worked as a "counselor" in the U.S. under their system of "camps" where children live during the long summer school holidays. Given the established nature of the system in the U.S., it would be assumed that authorities there have extensive experience in how to weed out people like Lord. Unfortunately, there did not seem to be a process in place for alerting authorities in Australia about our nationals who posed problems during their U.S. stay.
As with the churches, there was the usual apology given through an expensive lawyer, with accompanying claims that procedures were much better now. An unusual addition was the claim by the YMCA that their other staff members were also "victims" of Lord.
Academics in the child trauma and similar fields would be interested in, and would have definite things to say about, the two items tended as evidence. These were a drawing and list of concerns made by children, about their impressions of Lord. They are given below.
As Lord's victims are still children, the long term effects on them will not be known for many years, but some hint of the problems can be gained from drawings such as those tended as evidence to the enquiry.

F.P. Schubert, Wihelm Muller - Die schoene Muellerin. Hans Jorg Mammel Arthur Schoonderwoerd.
ID: RK3104
Collection: Classical Period
Wilhelm Müller (October 7, 1794 - September 30, 1827) was a German lyric poet.
Schubert sits at the piano in the circle of his friends, and it may well be that this company of authors, artists, and other illustrious personalities is listening to the songs of the "Schoene Muellerin" being sung by Johann Michael Vogl, Schubert's favorite singer. In his drawing, Moritz von Schwind affords us a glance into the convivial atmosphere of the Schubertiades at which some of Schubert's works may first have been heard.
The song cycle tells of an unrequited love for the beautiful maid of the mill. The mill stream is the constant companion and dialogue partner of the unhappy journeyman miller, who at the end finds his final resting place in the shallow waters of the creek.
In addition to concerts and opera, Hans Jörg Mammel has made a name for himself above all through his interpretations of the songs of Schubert and the composers of the second Berlin school. He is accompanied in this intimate interpretation by Arthur Schoonderwoerd, one of the most prominent fortepiano players of our time.

Q: Number of descendants at the Nth generation. Absurd result... :( Are we all the descendants of Charlemagne?
The assumption seems logical but I was wondering if I could calculate the probability, or maybe just the number of descendants at the Nth generation. But it's complicated. So here's a simplified version:
A group of 4 people: A, B, C and D.
Each generation, two couples are formed (there are 3 possibilities: AB/CD, AC/BD and AD/BC)
These couples have children together (between 0 and 4).
The next generation is also 4 members strong. Each member of the new generation has an equal probability of being the child of the first couple or of the second.
The same process is repeated.
What is the probability of being a descendant of A at the Nth generation?
If I break it up, I would say that at:

*

*Generation 0 (G0) there is only A, so a 25% chance.

*Generation 1 (G1): every child has an equal probability of being the child of A or of the other couple. So a 50% chance.

*Generation 2 (G2): every member of the group of G1 has a 50% chance of not being a descendant of A. When I pair two of them randomly together, they have a 25% chance of neither of them being a descendant of A. So each member of G2 has a 75% chance of being a descendant of A.

*Generation N (Gn): if you go on this way, it's easy to see the probability rises to 100%...
....BUT.........
There is a 6.25% probability that NO person in G1 is the descendant of A. In that case, the probability of there not being ANY descendant of A in the Nth generation, MUST be superior to 6.25%!! How come then are we finding it to be 0%??!!
What is wrong here??!!
Thanks a lot in advance!

A: You don't specify how the couples are chosen; I'll assume that in each generation one of the three possible combinations is independently and uniformly chosen.
The problem with your calculation is that you treat all the probabilities as independent and only keep track of the probability for individuals to be descendants of $A$, whereas you need the entire probability distribution in each generation in order to derive it for the next generation.
In the first generation of descendants, you have a binomial distribution for the number of descendants of $A$:
\begin{array}{c|cccc}
n&0&1&2&3&4\\\hline
p&\frac1{16}&\frac4{16}&\frac6{16}&\frac4{16}&\frac1{16}
\end{array}
Now couples are formed. If there are $0$ descendants of $A$, there will be $0$ couples whose children will be descendants of $A$. If there is $1$ descendant, there will be $1$ such couple. If there are $3$ or $4$ descendants, there will be $2$ such couples. The case of $2$ descendants is a bit more complicated: With probability $\frac13$ the two descendants end up in the same couple, and then there's only one couple descended from $A$, and with probability $\frac23$ the two descendants end up in different couples, which are then both descended from $A$. Thus the probability distribution for the number of couples descended from $A$ is
\begin{array}{c|cccc}
m&0&1&2\\\hline
p&\frac1{16}&\frac6{16}&\frac9{16}
\end{array}
Now if there are $0$ couples descended from $A$, no-one in the next generation will be descended from $A$, and if there are $2$, everyone will; whereas if there is $1$, we get the binomial distribution again. So in the next generation, the probability distribution for the number of people descended from $A$ is
\begin{array}{c|cccc}
n&0&1&2&3&4\\\hline
p&\frac{11}{128}&\frac{12}{128}&\frac{18}{128}&\frac{12}{128}&\frac{75}{128}
\end{array}
The expected value is $\frac9{16}\cdot1+\frac6{16}\cdot\frac12=\frac34$, so up to this point your probability for individuals to be descendants of $A$ is correct. But the distribution of the number of couples descended from $A$ in this generation now comes out as
\begin{array}{c|cccc}
m&0&1&2\\\hline
p&\frac{11}{128}&\frac{18}{128}&\frac{99}{128}
\end{array}
So the expected number of descendants of $A$ in the next generation will be $\frac{99}{128}\cdot1+\frac{18}{128}\cdot\frac12=\frac{27}{32}$, not nearly $100\%$.
We can express the process using matrices to see how quickly one of the two equilibria is reached and how likely they are. We have the following update rule for the vector $p$ of the probability distribution for the number of couples descended from $A$:
$$
p'=\pmatrix{
1&0&0&0&0\\
0&1&\frac13&0&0\\
0&0&\frac23&1&1
}\pmatrix{
1&\frac1{16}&0\\
0&\frac4{16}&0\\
0&\frac6{16}&0\\
0&\frac4{16}&0\\
0&\frac1{16}&1\\
}=\pmatrix{
1&\frac1{16}&0\\
0&\frac6{16}&0\\
0&\frac9{16}&1
}p\;.
$$
The matrix on the right has two eigenvalues $1$ corresponding to the equilibrium distributions where everyone or no one is a descendant of $A$. The third eigenvalue is $\frac6{16}$, with eigenvector $(-1,10,-9)^\top$. Your initial distribution $(0,1,0)^\top$ decomposes as
$$
\pmatrix{0\\1\\0}=\frac1{10}\pmatrix{1\\0\\0}+\frac1{10}\pmatrix{-1\\10\\-9}+\frac9{10}\pmatrix{0\\0\\1}\;,
$$
so after applying the matrix $j$ times this becomes
$$
\frac1{10}\pmatrix{1\\0\\0}+\frac1{10}\left(\frac38\right)^j\pmatrix{-1\\10\\-9}+\frac9{10}\pmatrix{0\\0\\1}\;,
$$
and the limit for $j\to\infty$ is
$$
\pmatrix{\frac1{10}\\0\\\frac9{10}}\;.
$$
So in the long run, the probability that everyone will be descended from $A$ is $90\%$ and the probability that no one will be descended from $A$ is $10\%$.

A: Joriki's analysis looks convincing, but skips somewhat quickly past what is wrong with your analysis:

Generation 2 (G2): every member of the group of G1 has a 50% chance of not being a descendant of A. When I pair two of them randomly together, they have a 25% chance of neither of them being a descendant of A. So each member of G2 has a 75% chance of being a descendant of A.

So far so good. Each person in G1 has randomly chosen either the A-nonA couple or the nonA-nonA couple as his parents, so the "A-ness" of two randomly chosen persons in G1 is independent.
Without this independence your "25% chance" wouldn't necessarily hold.

Generation N (Gn): if you go on this way, it's easy to see the probability rises to 100%...

Here it goes wrong if you repeat your analysis from G2 because "mother not descended from A" and "father not descended from A" are no longer independent -- in particular your cannot multiply their probabilities to find the probability of your ancestors being A-free.
On the contrary, in late generations it becomes overwhelmingly likely that either everyone descends from A or nobody does. Thus with high probability, two randomly chosen persons have the same A-ness, which means that the A-ness of your mother and father will be highly correlated.

A: Turn it around.  I have two parents, four grandparents, eight great grandparents and so on.  If we go back $30$ generations I would have $2^{30} \approx 1$ billion ancestors.  $600$ years ago there were not a billion people on earth, so many of those ancestors must be the same people.  If you assume much mixing at all, I must be descended from everybody alive in the year $1200$.
There are two holes in this analysis.  One, some of the people did not have any children, so I am not descended from them.  Two, there could be isolated groups who do not mix with the general population.  A European of $800$ could do the same calculation and claim to be descended from everybody alive in $400$ or some such year.  As far as we know there was no mixing with the inhabitants of the Americas during that period and probably none with some other remote areas.


Respawn may have done with a free-to-play battle royale game what EA wanted to do with Anthem.
Respawn's new Apex Legends 60-player battle royale game is already a success. The Titanfall-based shooter has only been out a day and is being hailed as a must-play FPS by gamers all over. Engagement is high thanks to its accessibility--it had over 1 million players in just 8 hours--and strong monetization could follow. But what about Anthem, EA's big new shared-worlds shooter?
Any live service game lives or dies based on engagement. Failed online games die because the playerbase dries up and no one's spending cash. Some, like Destiny 2, go through many changes and stave off death by reinventing themselves. Some games like Fallout 76 falter out of the gate due to mismanagement. Apex Legends' rising fame could pose a threat to Anthem's engagement simply because gamers could keep playing the F2P shooter instead of diving into a $64 premium game. All games compete with each other in this way (Epic Games' Fortnite, for example, competes with all others), but seldom do we see publishers smush together two live games that could disrupt one another in such a short span.
Apex Legends has already stolen the spotlight from Anthem. The former has instantly accessible action across all platforms, and the latter has loading zones, a befuddling pre-order chart, and technical hiccups. One is something you jump in and play with tactical strategy and player-created chaos, and the other is a grindy PVE-only experience built around replayability, story, and an ever-evolving world. Anthem's two pre-release demos also had mixed reception, and various game outlets were iffy about its endgame content.
The beauty with Apex Legends is that it gets crazier the more you play. With other players in the mix, every battle can be different and chaotic, especially as the game matures and users find unique ways to utilize skill-based squad combos. There's a lot of opportunity here for a long-term action game that keeps on giving. As the game matures we could see even more players jump over to Apex Legends (or stay within the game) and leave other titles behind. One such casualty could be Anthem.
Everyone's buzzing about the Titanfall shooter and players are flocking to the high-tech maps in droves. EA probably has mixed feelings about this; sure they're happy that Apex Legends is a surprise hit and probably see a long-term roadmap of revenues, updates, and opportunities, but they're also probably irked it comes at the expense of Anthem.
Remember that EA spent untold millions to make Anthem happen and the new IP has been in development since 2012.
Respawn may have turned the tables for some inadvertent sales revenge. Upon launch, Titanfall 2 was eclipsed by Battlefield 1 in sales because of a busy release month. Now Apex Legends may overshadow Anthem by leeching engagement and players.
At the same time, it's possible Anthem and Apex Legends will compliment one another. They're two entirely different games after all, and EA could enjoy success with both. But stealth releasing a big battle royale experiment may turn out to be a bad idea simply because it may become more popular than the million-dollar new IP that BioWare spent years making.
And it doesn't help Q1 is already a very congested month for games. We still have Far Cry: New Dawn, The Division 2, Metro Exodus, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Devil May Cry 5 releasing soon. Anthem releases even sooner on February 22, just weeks after Apex Legends' surprise launch.
Only time will tell if Anthem is hurt by Respawn's new hit, but based on the current metrics, Anthem's playerbase could initially suffer. Or maybe Apex Legends will simply die out after an explosive month of acclaim and buzz, and Anthem will fill the vacuum with a stronger roadmap of content and player-oriented updates.


CropTrak engineering working with CDMS, Inc is bringing chemical labels and label checking to your next spray application task. Using the accurate label library of CDMS for EPA and non-EPA chemicals and nutrient applications allows farming, environmental, regulatory, AgRetailers, and others to more smartly select and document the chemicals that are being applied, when, where, weather, by whom, and so much more.
Water safety, environment safety, and customer safety means that spray applications need to be the right type, amount, and application method. Working with some of our largest customers and CDMS, we are bringing the tools they use to verify a chemical can be used in a region, applied for the problem, does not exceed maximum application allowed, and if allowed to be mixed with other chemicals in the spray tank to all of our customers as an upgrade option.
Chemical work orders require that you are using our CropTrak COMPLETE product family of tools to purchase this new option. With this tool, you can schedule and assign an application, check the mix tank, and print out the paperwork to support regulatory filings and notices. You can even leverage the AI (artificial intelligence) and weather tools in CropTrak to help automate the notification of when to apply, flag the area for no re-entry, time to apply the second treatment, and so much more.
Contact your CropTrak sales person at Contact@CropTrak.com to learn more about this new option coming this fall.
It's CropTrak now (not iCropTrak) as the company has changed the name slightly. You will see it on full display at the upcoming InfoAg Conference in St. Louis, MO. I'll be there and will stop to visit CropTrak and I hope you will too.
I visited with Jonathan Sherrill, Central Business Lead at CropTrak / Cogent3D, Inc., to find out what the company has been up to lately. I wanted to get the full preview of what they will unveil at InfoAg but we're just going to have to wait for the show to see that. However, what Jonathan told me is that the company has had a single-minded focus on customer needs to solve problems and not just create new technologies to help sell more chemicals, seed, and services. Those problems they've been solving involve the large amount of paperwork that farmers have to do today. Depending on the crop there can be a vast amount of paperwork today that includes insurance forms, n-application forms, water use forms. Just forms, forms, forms!

Defence Update
Tejas Mark II to have ability to conduct Balakot-like operations
by defenceupdate
The indigenous Tejas Mark II fighter jet will have the capacity to conduct operations such as the one the Indian Air Force undertook in Balakot, with beyond-visual-range missiles with a greater reach and virtually jam-proof AESA radars in order to be suitable replacements for the Indian Air Force (IAF)'s aging Mirage 2000 fighters, according to the agency overseeing the development the aircraft. The Mark II, fitted with heavier GE 414 engine, will roll out in 2022, take to the skies in 2023 and join IAF by 2026.
Satisfied with performance of Tejas MK I in its full operational configuration on Tuesday, Girish Deodhare, Program Director (Combat Aircraft), Aeronautical Development Agency said that the MK II will have double the range of its predecessor and fitted with Astra II BVR air-to-air missiles with a range of at least 150 km.
" While Tejas MK I is for combat air patrol within the Indian territory, MK II will have the capacity to conduct Balakot-like surgical strikes in enemy territory as it will carry heavy standoff weapons like Crystal Maze and Spice missiles," added Deodhare. On February 26, 2019, IAF's Mirage 2000 entered Pakistani territory to target a Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terror training camp at Jabba Top in Balakot, Manshera in retaliation for the terror group's suicide attack on a CRPF convoy in Pulwama, Jammu & Kashmir.
While work on MK II is proceeding apace, ADA, in consultation with IAF will also freeze the design of its twin-engine advanced medium combat aircraft (AMCA) in the next three months. IAF, last November gave a written commitment to DRDO that it would buy the fifth-generation AMCA to strengthen its strike capabilities. AMCA is expected to roll out in 2024 and take to the skies the following year. The Tejas MK II is a 4.5 generation aircraft.
According to Deodhare, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) will produce 16 FOC 9Final Operational Clearance) Tejas plus eight trainers before the reverse integration of IAF's Tejas in initial configuration is taken up. " HAL has done a commendable job to produce a FOC Tejas within a year of the design being frozen. This will help up in faster development of MK II as this only involves in upscaling of the existing platform with superior armaments, radar and avionics," he said.
For the MK II, ADA in collaboration with its parent DRDO is developing the indigenous active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar, which is not ony difficult to detect but also has high resistance to jamming by the enemy during engagement. As of now, the Tejas MK I platform has been integrated with Israeli Derby BVR missiles with enhanced range so that enemy planes are picked up and targeted even as they cross the Indian border.

As I was wandering through the frozen isles of the Korean grocery the other day, I found kkotbbang and was ecstatic. I loved kkotbbang since I was a child and had no idea they sold it in the grocery in the US. All I had to do was to follow the instructions on the package and steam the breads for a few minutes. Boochu-japchae is also an extremely quick and easy dish to make, contrasting to the more painstakingly long process of making the traditional Korean japchae (잡채). Boochu is an Asian chive and it doesn't matter whether you use the Korean kind or Chinese kind. If you do not have boochu, simply replace it with 2 or 3 more bell peppers of any color and thinly julienne them. Use the same method and as boochu-japchae and you've got gochu-japche (고추잡채)!
Mix the thinly stripped pork with a tablespoon of corn starch and sake each and pinch of salt. Let it sit in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes.
Wash the chives and let it dry. Cut them into about 4 inches (about 10cm).
Thinly julienne the bell peppers.
In a large skillet, drizzle about 3 to 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil and sauté the pork on medium-high heat until fully cooked.
Move the cooked meat to a plate and drizzle another tablespoon of oil on the same skillet. Increase the heat to high and quickly sauté the boochu and bell peppers on high heat for a few seconds.
Add soy sauce, oyster sauce, a pinch of salt stir and combine the cooked pork with the sesame oil and a pinch a black pepper. Stir on high heat to combine and serve.
If you have kkotbbang, cook it according to the package instructions. I steamed 6 kkotbbangs by covering the steamer wrack with cheese cloth so the kkotbbang would not stick to the wrack and steamed it for 10 minutes.

ONE World Sports Relaunches as Eleven Sports; Questions Regarding Unpaid Freelancers Remain
By Jason Dachman, Chief Editor
Tuesday, March 14, 2017 - 12:06 pm
Over the weekend, ONE World Sports' linear channel relaunched as Eleven Sports, complete with new branding and graphics. Although the London-based Eleven Sports has yet to make an official announcement, it appears that the struggling ONE World Sports — which furloughed nearly all its employees and began airing to reruns in November as it searched for a buyer — has finally found a buyer. However, according to Awful Announcing, this does not necessarily mean that freelancers and employees will receive payments owed them by ONE World Sports (OWS).
According to multiple freelancers who have reached out to SVG, ONE World Sports has yet to pay them thousands of dollars owed for their work relating to the production of 2016 New York Cosmos soccer games, Ivy League football, and other productions. Among the crew owed are producers, directors, graphics producers, and on-air talent.
ONE World Sports execs have not yet responded to an SVG request for comment on Monday. Previously, when SVG reached out on Jan. 30 regarding the state of OWS and issues related to money owed to employees and freelancers, ONE World Sports President/CEO Sandy Brown said by e-mail, "We are in a sale process for the business. As such, it would be premature to respond to questions at this time. We hope to have a lot more clarity on the situation in the near future. When we do, we will be in touch."
ONE World Sports is owned by Dallas-based ONE Media. Eleven Sports is owned by The Channels Co. and Andrea Radrizzani, founder of global investment company Aser and founding partner and vice chairman of international sports-rights agency MP & Silva. Eleven Sports launched in 2015 and operates multiple linear channels and streaming platforms in Belgium, Luxembourg, Poland, Singapore, and Taiwan. Multichannel News was told by Eleven Sports spokeswoman Colleen Lynch that the organization "will have more details later this week" regarding the expected sale.
Awful Announcing reports that the network's total debts to freelance production workers and production companies are in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. The report also indicates that ONE World Sports executives have not promised to pay those debts despite threats of legal action, which means that any sale could result in the purchaser's acquiring just OWS's assets and not its debts.
SVG will continue to provide updates on this story as information becomes available.
