Prior to founding Isla Surf School, Peter worked at Nantucket Surfari and Locals Surf School in the northeast for many years, graduated from The College of Charleston in 2014, worked as a private surf instructor in Costa Rica, and traveled the world in pursuit of perfect waves and unique cultures. Peter witnessed some of the best and some of the worst surf schools during his work experience and travels and cultivated an idea of what a high end surf school should look like. Peter founded Isla Surf School in 2015 with the goal of providing Charleston and Folly Beach with a genuine surf experience and a variety of packages suitable for all levels and ages. With his years of experience in the industry and his passion for the sport, Peter has established Isla as Charleston's leading surf school.
In 2019 Isla Surf School is launching a variety of Paddle Boarding. Both Peter & Reed Melhado have strong backgrounds in paddle boarding from their days teaching at Nantucket Surfari, as well as enjoying paddle boarding in their personal lives. Isla offers a variety of two hour long paddle boarding outings, for all ages and abilities, from the Folly Boat Launch. Isla's paddle boarding outings offer a unique way to enjoy our beautiful coastline (and sometimes dolphins, too) and are a great all-around workout and fun group activity. It is hard to match the sense of personal well being and tranquility you will discover out on the water!
Isla is also a strong believer in bettering our community. From the little stuff like beach clean up to our work with our two non-profit partners, bettering our community through the power of surfing is very important to us. Please check out our non-profit partners The Warrior Surf Foundation & The Ripple Effect.
Celebrating all of the good memories over the last three years!
We provide professional instructors who are Lifeguard Certified (CPR/AED/First Aid), the best equipment, and the widest range of lesson and tour options. We have secured a franchise contract with the City of Folly Beach and carry comprehensive insurance for all of our activities. We pride ourselves on giving the best, safest, and most fun lessons on the beach. Book a lesson/tour with us and experience the Isla difference.
I was born and raised here in Charleston and have no plans to leave anytime soon. Surfing is my biggest passion and being able to share that with others is an awesome experience. Watching someone catch their first wave and seeing the pure stoke in their eyes is almost indescribable.
I am originally from Kansas, but moved to Charleston a few years ago and am a student at the College of Charleston. I learned how to surf as soon as I moved from Kansas and fell in love with surfing and the ocean. I grew up on a farm in the middle of the country and now I can't be away from the ocean for more than a day!
Cory was born on the North Shore of HI, but grew up in Charleston. He is currently a student at Flagler College. He is an accomplished competitive surfer who is backed by Hurley and WRV Surfboards.
I am a combat veteran who served in the Army National Guard, and a student at College of Charleston where I study accounting and computer science. I'm orginally from a small farm town. Surfing is in my blood because my mom was a surfer in the 60's and early 70's. I love surfing because it is fun, peaceful, and I enjoy the ocean.
I am a senoir at the Collegge of Charleston. I am from the South Shore of Massachusetts where my dad taught me to surf at age 5. I have been teaching surf lessons for 7 years now and am looking forward to running Isla's camps. I have surfed up and down the coast and Costa Rica, Mexico, and Puerto Rico.
I recently moved to Charleston after graduating from Auburn University. With a love for the beach and food I figured Charleston would be the perfect place for me. I currently teach 3rd grade and look forward to spending the summer working with Isla Surf School!
I caught my first wave early summer of 1961 and fell in love with surfing, the lifestyle and mother ocean. I started visiting the Charleston area on business 2013 and in late 2016 I moved to James Island.
I am originally from Long Island, NY but moved to Charleston to study at the College of Charleston. I love surfing and traveling with my friends and family. I really enjoy the pace of life down here and the welcoming attitude the people of Folly Beach and Charleston have.
This video above highlights some of our favorite moments from our first three full years in business. We have had the most amazing time meeting people from all walks of life, making new friends and partners, and growing the business. We have had so many fun moments at summer camp and during our private lessons and some incredibly powerful moments doing our non-profit work. Thank you for the continued support and we look forward to being a positive force in the Charleston and Folly Beach community for many years to come!

It is interesting to observe how tenaciously the old common law of mortgages has persisted in the state of New York, the very cradle of the modem lien theory of the mortgage. As early as 1802 Chancellor KENT began the importation into that state of Lord MANSFIELD'S Civil Law doctrines of mortgage. Johnson v. Hart, 3 Johns. Cas. 322. In 1814, in the case of Runyan v. Mersereau, 11 Johns. 534, the lien theory definitely triumphed over the old law. In other cases, both before and since the statute of 1828 denying ejectment to the mortgagee, the details of mortgage law were worked over to harmonize with the central theory.

Amy Goodman arrested at RNC- 7th and Jackson street
by tc.indymedia.org
Mon, Sep 1, 2008 3:09PM
Amy Goodman, the host of Democracy Now, one of the most prominent progressive media programs in the country, has been arrested by police at the RNC while covering street protests. This was announced via a live call-in show on the Portland indymedia radio webcast.
This past weekend, several houses were raided with attorneys, legal observers, reporters from iWitness news, an independent reporting organization out of New York, and Democracy Now journalists.
As Monday's events have unfolded, it has been clear that dozens of little points of conflict have arisen around the city. There were also large Union and antiwar marches proceeding along routes near downtown. At the location that Goodman was arrested, supposedly 30-40 demonstrations were being detained.
The Twin Cities IMC should have further updates shortly.
http://twincities.indymedia.org
§Democracy Now arrests.
Portland indymedia radio has further reported that Amy goodman was thrown into a barrier or wall as she was being arrested. Houston.indymedia reports that half the Democracy Now! team was arrested with her, bringing into question whether they'll be able to write a show for Tuesday morning, depending on when they are let out. This team is quite professional in their reporting standards and presentation.
At the Uptake's video of the police department and Mayor's press conference, some of the mainstream journalists are asking very good questions about why certain techniques were used, and why the police were chanting in a singsong or militaristic marching fashion, rather than issuing directions and orders.
http://twincities.indymedia.org/2008/sep/snake-march-results-30-arrests-including-amy-goodman-and-democracy-now-staff
I just got a call from Nick of Houston IMC and Dennis of Democracy Now! reporting that a Snake March of around 50 people was cut into at least 2 groups with the police surrounding and arresting around 30 participants at the Corner of 7th St. and Temperance in St. Paul.
Among those arrested were members of the Tejas Bloc and Democray Now! Host Amy Goodman, Producers Sharif Abdel Kouddous, Nicole Salazar and Paul (whose last name and roll I didn't catch). Nick has video which he will try to edit promptly. We'll try to get more info at as soon as we can.

Home News IPOB: Igbo APC Leaders Scared Of Campaigning For Buhari In South East
IPOB: Igbo APC Leaders Scared Of Campaigning For Buhari In South East
Eziuka Clinton
Ahead of next month's presidential election, some leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South-East are finding it difficult to market the candidature of President Muhammadu Buhari in the region, StateReporters news has gathered.
Though the region has witnessed a sizable number of leaders from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who have joined the APC after the 2015 general elections, findings across some states in the South East reveal that many of the leaders are wary of campaigning for President Buhari who is seeking re-election for another term.
Sources told StateReporters news that the hesitation of the APC leaders stems from the hostilities from majority of the youths who are sympathetic to the cause of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its leader, Nnamdi Kanu.
It would be recalled that IPOB had last year called on President Buhari to bury his ambition to run for second term in 2019 general election or he would be unmasked.
An APC leader in one of the South-East states who spoke on condition of anonymity said while he was convinced that President Buhari had done enough for the region despite getting few votes in the zone and as such deserved re-election, it is difficult campaigning for him as many of the youths "are not willing to hear anything about Buhari or APC in the South East".
He continued: "I still believe that President Buhari will score more votes than what he got in 2015 in the South East but I must admit that the hostility by some youths, especially the pro-Biafra ones, is not creating a conducive atmosphere to campaign for him.
"Many of them are saying what they want is restructuring and not presidential election. Some of them are even saying it is Buhari that brought 'Operation Python Dance' that killed many of their youths."
Also speaking, another APC member confirmed to our correspondent that while many people believe President Buhari had done well, they were afraid to come out and identify with him, especially now that the campaigns has started.
"I must admit it has been challenging. Most of the youths don't want to hear you talking about Buhari. They may even attack you and there is nothing anybody can do about it.
"It is very easy to do that when there is a major rally as everybody will troop out to see the dignitaries but after that, you are on your own," he said.
However, speaking with our correspondent, Osita Okechukwu, a chieftain of the APC and Director General of the Voice of Nigeria (VON), said IPOB could not constitute any threat to President Buhari's campaign or re-election because they were a fringe group who were in the minority in the region.
Okechukwu said it was an erroneous impression that campaigning for President Buhari would be difficult in the South East based on the activities of IPOB.
According to him, the population of IPOB members was not up to two percent.
He said the position of the group concerning President Buhari should not be taken as the entire position of the South East region.
"There is nothing like that. It is an erroneous impression. What is the percentage of IPOB membership in the South East? Are they up to two percent? We are talking about election with PVCs and not about IPOB.
"This is a fringe group which doesn't really have a say in the scheme of things. We cannot take the position of a fringe group to equate the position of the entire people. We are saying that since 1970, the second Niger Bridge has been on the drawing board.
"This is the president that brought the first bag of cement, the first shovel of gravel, first shovel of sand and so on. Nobody can dispute that fact.
"The dilapidated Enugu-Onitsha (road), the bail-out funds for salaries and pensions. Buhari is also the first person that paid the Biafran police who served during the Biafran war. So, these are the facts of the matter, it is not about propaganda."
In a related development, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said it was a fallacy that the governors of the South East were not campaigning for its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Speaking with our correspondent, Kola Ologbondiyan, the party's National Publicity Secretary who described PDP governors in the South East as committed stakeholders to the Atiku presidency, said any governor campaigning against Atiku was campaigning against himself.
"There is no South-East governor that is not committed to the Atiku presidential project. These governors are members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and they are working for our party.
"Those claiming these governors are not committed to Atiku's presidential election, is there anywhere the governors have said 'go and vote for Buhari or APC?'
"Has any governor in the South East publicly come out to tell the people 'don't vote for Atiku, vote for Buhari?' I also know that there is no South East governor that will publicly come out and say 'don't vote for Atiku, vote for Buhari'.
"None of our PDP governors will do that because it is clear that injury to one is injury to all. If any governor says don't vote for Atiku, such a governor is already campaigning against himself," he said.

Hi Ladies! Could you please help me? I have a few pair of ferraamo vara flats/pumps and I just bought this pair pre-loved but I haven't gotten them yet. I plan on having them authenticated but I wondered if any of you had ever seen markings like this on the sole of shoes? It seems odd to me that someone would add them if they were trying to pass off a fake as real. I think the 230 is chinese sizing (they were advertised as a US 6) but the 1.5 really confuses me! I'd love to hear any thoughts you might have, thanks! And sorry for the dirt, it's the sellers picture!

The Secretary of State has certified that the county police had been maintained in a state of efficiency in terms of numbers and efficiency for the twelve months ending 29 September 1899. The County Council's Finance and General Purposes Committee therefore recommended that £8,333 0s 10d be transferred to the police fund account, which represented half the cost of pay and clothing for the force.
A similar certificate had been received for the police of the City of St Albans and a payment of £630 4s 4d was authorised.

GATED STREETS: LAGOS READS RIOT ACT TO RESIDENTS' ASSOCIATIONS
Issues 7-Day Ultimatum To Defaulting Streets
Says Barricades Only Allowed Between 12 Mid-night And 5am
Worried by the disturbing trend of closure of street gates across the State, the Lagos State Government on Monday ordered immediate re-opening of all street gates and barricades in the nook and cranny of the State between 5am and 12 mid-night daily, just as it warned that defaulting streets would have their gates pulled down within the next seven days.
The State Government also ordered that all street gates and barricades are now only permitted to be locked between 12 mid-night and 5am, besides such locked gates must be manned by security guards within the period under lock and key in case of emergencies.
Addressing journalists at the State Secretariat in Alausa, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Community Development and Chairman of Community Affairs Advisory Council, Mr. Tajudeen Adeniyi Quadri said the decision of the State Government followed series of complaints from residents on the disturbing trend of street gates and barricades.
He said there have been situations whereby fire fighters and police were prevented from getting to emergency scenes on time due to street gates and barricades as well as instances where rushing patients with emergency situations to hospital were equally frustrated.
Quadri, who addressed the briefing alongside the Commissioner for Local Government and Community Affairs, Hon Muslim Folami; Special Adviser to the Governor on Community and Communications, Mr. Kehinde Bamigbetan, and some Chairmen of Community Development Associations (CDA), said as a responsive and responsible government, Governor Akinwunmi Ambode has directed that the restriction on closure of street gates and barricades be strictly adhere to henceforth.
Quadri said information reaching government was that gates were being locked in several places throughout the day, causing much inconveniences of residents having to walk round to get to the main road, and that some gates were deliberately locked just to prevent others from using the roads, thereby aggravating traffic situations especially in areas where such roads are meant to serve as thoroughfares or alternative link routes.
He added that most places where gates have been mounted have become environmentally unsanitary, while it had been observed that mechanics have also turned such streets to their workshops.
He recalled that the directive on street gates and barricade was initially introduced in 2009, but it was unfortunate that as years rolled by, the directive seemed to be abandoned, as more street gates were introduced even to streets that never had them before.
Besides, Quadri said some of the street gates were constructed in such a way that they could only accommodate passage of cars and not buses, adding that such was totally unacceptable to the State Government.
Quadri recalled that as part of efforts to secure lives and property, Lagosians in the early 2000 resorted to constructing street gates and setting up barricades in their streets to ward off criminals and possibly unwanted guests.
He said: "This government therefore observes with caution that though the erecting and closing of these gates may be desirable, the consequences on the overall urban efficiency, aesthetics and functionality of the city and especially traffic flow poses questions difficult to answer.
"These barricades, though well intended, constitutes obstruction to traffic, especially in areas, where such street gates or barricades are on roads meant to serve as thoroughfares or alternative link routes," Quadri said.
Also speaking, Folami warned that the State Government would pull down gates and barricades in any defaulting streets, adding that government would not spare any CDA found wanting in strictly complying with the government directive on street gates and barricades.
He said Governor Ambode was very sensitive to issues affecting the communities and recalled the recent flag off of the construction of 114 roads across the 57 councils in the State, as well as the massive security infrastructure put in place to secure the State.
"In view of the challenges posed by the unrestricted erection of street gates, the State Government is revisiting the directive on the gates and barricades. Any contravention of this directive will attract necessary punishment for defaulters," Folami said.

Why does it matter if there is a duplicate?
Why does it matter if the same question is asked twice? Sometimes the second question gets better answer.
That's a good question, but it's been asked already here on Mi Yodeya Meta. Now, suppose this answer I'm penning is unclear to you or incomplete. Wouldn't it be better for me to write it as an answer to the older question instead, where you can read preexisting answers also, and to link you there? And wouldn't it be better for future readers to read all the answers in one place? And if my answer duplicates those answers, then isn't it a shame that I wasted my time writing it up instead of (when reading your question) being redirected to the older question where I could see that my answer already existed?
Now, sometimes the newer question is not the same as the older one, but is very closely related. Then it should not be closed as a duplicate. But where it's the same question, it's in everybody's best interests to be redirected to one question that collects all the answers.
If you're worried that the older question is insufficiently well answered, and are therefore duplicating it on purpose, see "What should I do if no one answers my question?".
Oh, and I was kidding. Your question hadn't been asked here yet. It is on MSO, though, as Isaac Moses pointed out in a comment on the question (thanks!).

Q: How to calculate an index or a score from principal components in R? How do I go about calculating an index/score from principal component analysis?
Here is a reproducible example
set.seed(1)
dat <- data.frame(
  Diet = sample(1:2),
  Outcome1 = sample(1:10),
  Outcome2 = sample(11:20),
  Outcome3 = sample(21:30),
  Response1 = sample(31:40),
  Response2 = sample(41:50),
  Response3 = sample(51:60)
)

ir.pca <- prcomp(dat[,3:5], center = TRUE, scale. = TRUE)

summary(ir.pca)

loadings <- ir.pca$rotation

scores <- ir.pca$x

correlations <- t(loadings)*ir.pca$sdev

This generates three principal components. Could I use these to calculate a score or an index called 'Response Index' for each row in the above data?

The effect of reduced dynamic range on speech understanding: Implications for patients with cochlear implants
Philipos C. Loizou, Michael Dorman, Jeanette Fitzke
Objective: To determine the effect of reduced dynamic range on speech understanding when the speech signals are processed in a manner similar to a 6-channel cochlear implant speech processor. Design: Signals were processed in a manner similar to a 6-channel cochlear implant processor and output as a sum of sine waves with frequencies equal to the center frequencies of the analysis filters. The amplitudes of the sine waves were compressed in a systematic fashion to simulate the effect of reduced dynamic range. The compressed signals were presented to 10 normal-hearing listeners for identification. Results: There was a significant effect of compression for all test materials. The effect of the compression on speech understanding was different for the three test materials (vowels, consonants, and sentences). Vowel recognition was affected the most by the compression, and consonant recognition was affected the least by the compression. Feature analysis indicated that the reception of place information was affected the most. Sentence recognition was moderately affected by the compression. Conclusions: Dynamic range should affect the speech perception abilities of cochlear implant users. Our results suggest that a relatively wide dynamic range is needed for a high level of vowel recognition and a relatively small dynamic range is sufficient to maintain consonant recognition. We infer from this outcome that, if other factors were held equal, an implant patient with a small dynamic range could achieve moderately high scores on tests of consonant recognition but poor performance on vowel recognition, and that it is more likely for an implant patient with a large dynamic range to obtain high scores on vowel recognition than for an implant patient with a small dynamic range.

This is short guide how to create parallax effect using accelerometer on mobile platforms. Some code is related to Android, but all concept is applicable to iOS, etc.
What is parallax effect? There are some more complex definitions but i would define as simple as the following – you move your phone/device in space and some objects inside your application are shifting accordingly to compensate this movement. This allows to create some strong feeling of 3d interface as well as nice interaction effect.
As good example you can check out my live wallpaper (link on market), which is using this effect while rendering particle system of moving objects. More information about this application can be found here.

The Mexican government and President Andrés Manuel López Obrador are moving forward with plans to transform its agriculture system to achieve self-sufficiency in basic grains and strengthen rural livelihoods. The first phase of the program includes guaranteed prices for corn, wheat, rice, beans and milk produced by small-scale farmers, around two million, linked to community stores around the country.
Please join María Leticia López Zepeda, José Atahualpa Estrada Aguilar and Enrique Perez from the Asociación Nacional de Productores Empresariales del Campo (ANEC, a member of the broad-based Campesino Movement), with translation by Manuel Perez Rocha from the Institute for Policy Studies; Tim Wise from the Small Planet Institute (and author of the new book Eating Tomorrow: Agribusiness, Family Farmers, and the Battle for the Future of Food); and moderated by Karen Hansen-Kuhn from IATP for a discussion of this ambitious program, some potential roadblocks, and the lessons it could hold for fair and sustainable production in the U.S. and beyond. Read Karen's blog Bold farm plans in Mexico offer a ray of hope in 2019 to learn more about this issue.
María Leticia López Zepeda, Executive Director of ANEC and a former advisor to REDCAMM (Regional Network of Producers of Michoacán), one of ANEC's most active member organizations in the transition to agroecology. Leticia will speak on the role of the Campesino Movement and its allies in the current and future agriculture plans.
José Atahualpa Estrada Aguilar, Coordinator of ANEC's program on Sustainable Production. An agricultural economist, he graduated from the Universidad Autónoma Chapingo. He has been working with farmers and their organizations on production and commercialization for more than 20 years, and for the last 11 on sustainable farming with a focus on agroecology.
Enrique Pérez Suárez is ANEC's Media Coordinator. He is a member of the editorial board of La Jornada del Campo and is an active participant in social movements including the Movimiento Campesino and the Campaña Nacional Sin Maíz no Hay País (Without Corn, No Country Campaign), among others. He has a degree in journalism from the Universidad del Distrito Federal.
Tim Wise is a senior researcher and directs the land and food rights program at the Small Planet Institute. He also directed the Research and Policy Program at Tufts University's Global Development and Environment Institute. With a background as an economic journalist and an international development practitioner, Wise's research and writing have covered U.S. farm policies, trade and agricultural development, agricultural biodiversity, food prices and biofuels, and Mexico's maize economy under the threat of genetically modified maize. With a prestigious fellowship from the Open Society Foundations, Wise has researched a book, Eating Tomorrow: Agribusiness, Family Farmers, and the Battle for the Future of Food, on small versus large-scale agriculture in the battle to feed the world, drawing on field work in Mexico, Malawi, Tanzania, Mozambique, Zambia, and India.
Karen Hansen-Kuhn is the Director of Trade and Global Governance at IATP. She works on trade and economic justice, as well as bringing U.S. and developing country farm perspectives into policy debates. She served previously as the international coordinator of the Alliance for Responsible Trade (ART), a U.S. multisectoral coalition, and as policy director at the U.S. office of ActionAid, an international development organization.

The general market indices have bounced back up near highs. The trend could go in either direction, at this point. Two weeks ago, the indices experienced a level of Distribution that would lead to a market top, in a typical market cycle. However, last week the indices rose for 5 consecutive days, including support at the 50 Day MA's for the S&P500 and the NASDAQ Composite.
If there is to be a resumed uptrend, at this point, we would expect to see more market accumulation. April 23rd was interesting as such, because it had the potential to be a Follow-Through Day. Yet, it lacked in magnitude and volume was fairly quiet. The end of last week had signs of stalling. Still, this close to highs, earnings or Fed decisions can steer the market in either direction.
Regardless of the eventual market direction at this point, market analysis suggests a defensive stance. If the trend resumes higher, there will be plenty of time to increase exposure. However, the end of April, the Fed meeting, and earnings are certain to shape market action in coming sessions.

We recently took part in the National Asian Wedding Exhibition at ExCel London. It was an amazing turn out and experience, and we met so many great people!
We were lucky enough to represent three amazing Designers at the exhibition (who you can also find on our boutique) - Bubber Couture, Sapana Amin, and The Little Black Bow. All out of Mumbai, these three up and coming designers create trendy items with high quality fabrics. Visitors absolutely loved the pieces and we're so happy to get such positive feedback!
We also had our competition winner stop by to claim her prize!
Below are a few pictures of some of the items we showed. Many of the pieces are one of a kind but we can custom make with a bit of variation.

Windows Open Services Architecture (WOSA) — концепция стандартных интерфейсов, совокупность методов абстракции базовых служб, одна из основ архитектуры операционной системы Microsoft Windows.

Open Services Architecture для любого расширения операционной системы определяет независимые стандартные API (Прикладной программный интерфейс) и SPI (Интерфейс с сервером), тем самым создавая между клиентом и сервисом некоторый промежуточный слой (менеджер), который реализует стандартный протокол доступа независимый от сервиса и приложения. То есть тот самый универсальный интерфейс (обычно помещаемый в единственную DLL). Что позволяет операционной системе единообразно обращаться к драйверам устройств, менеджерами базы данных, и другими низкоуровневыми объектам.

В состав расширения по WOSA должны входить
 Прикладной программный интерфейс (API);
 Интерфейс с сервером (SPI);
 Менеджер группы приложений/сервисов;
 База данных для регистрации приложений/сервисов.

Под стандарт Open Services Architecture попадают ODBC (названный «венчающим драгоценным камнем WOSA»), TAPI, WOSA/XFS, SAPI и MAPI (и их вспомогательные сервисы), а также как абстракция доступа к принтерам, модемам, и сетевым службам.

Где,

Общие сервисы

 ODBC — программный интерфейс доступа к базам данных
 Message API — программный интерфейс пересылки сообщений
 Telephone API — программный интерфейс доступа по телефонной линии
 ADSI — интерфейс распределенных каталогов
 License Service API — интерфейс лицензирования программного обеспечения

Связь
 SNA API — программный интерфейс межхостового взаимодействия
 Sockets API — программный интерфейс связи на основе протокола TCP/IP
 Remote Procedure Call — интерфейс удаленного вызова процедур

Q: kubeflow OutputPath/InputPath question when writing/reading multiple files I've a data-fetch stage where I get multiple DFs and serialize those. I'm currently treating OutputPath as directory - create it if it doesn't exist etc. and then serialize all the DFs in that path with different names for each DF.
In a subsequent pipeline stage (say, predict) I need to retrieve all those through InputPath.
Now, from the documentation it seems InputPath/OutputPath as file. Does kubeflow as any limitation if I use it as directory?

A: The ComponentSpec's {inputPath: input_name} and {outputPath: output_name} placeholders and their Python analogs (input_name: InputPath()/output_name: OutputPath()) are designed to support both files/blobs and directories.
They are expected to provide the path for the input/output data. No matter whether the data is a blob/file or a directory.
The only limitation is that UX might not be able to preview such artifacts.
But the pipeline itself would work.

A: I have experimented with a trivial pipeline - no issue is observed if InputPath/OutputPath is used as directory.

Hi guys, if you want to do a Time Trial lap around Bathurst in any of the GT3 cars.Deadline :19-02-17 at the end of that day.You can run on any platform and good luck.


I live just opposite the lovely Lloyd Park in South Croydon on Croham Park Avenue.
I have lived in Croydon (East and South) for about 10 years in total. I'm originally from Dublin and have been living in the UK for the last 15 years.
This is a tricky one as there are lots of amazing places on Southend and now we have Boxpark too. I've had some great meals with family and friends at Yumn Brasserie, The Tree House and Alberts Table. You also can't beat The Chateau for a Sunday roast dinner. It's old school but the food and service is brilliant and the setting is really peaceful. Myself and my husband Mike had a great reception there following our wedding in 2014!
I'm a massive coffee drinker so love places like Park Life Cafe which has opened just opposite me at Lloyd Park, Byte Cafe at TMRW (I work remotely from this fab Tech Hub) and Matthew's Yard. Smoothbean is great for a smoothie and owned by a lovely Irish man! Keeping with the Irish theme (it's Paddy's Day after all) The Baskerville is our new local since it opened and is ran by a fellow Dubliner (we get everywhere). Myself and Mike also love a tipple at the Spread Eagle before we hit the cinema at either the Clock Tower or Grants Vue.
Favourite thing to do in Croydon?
I love to take a stroll up to Coombe Wood Gardens. They are so picturesque and calming. I especially like taking a hike up Croham Hurst Woods. Both of these are only a 10 minute walk from our home. It's fab – within minutes you are literally transported into the countryside.
The coolest thing about Croydon?
It's a cliche but the variety. Everything goes in Croydon – people are accepting and there is a great mix of cultures. You have the shops, restaurants, nightlife, college, cinemas, theatres, comedy nights and then a few minutes down the road you have amazing natural green spaces, parks, golf courses and woods. Croydon is synonymous with being a concrete jungle but I particularly love all of the street art which has been popping up. It's mind blowing. I can't wait for the new Fairfield Halls to be rebuilt. I saw the late Joan Rivers there as well as Omid Djalili and Dara O'Briain. Lots of laughs! Ultimately it boils down to the people who are authentic and down to earth. What's not to love?

Přehrada Roseires () je přehrada na Modrém Nilu v jihovýchodní části Súdánu. Přesněji se nachází u města Ad-Damazin zhruba 470 km jihovýchodně od Chartúmu. Vybudována byla během let 1961 až 1966. V lednu 2013 bylo dokončeno zvýšení a rozšíření hráze. Její současná délka je 25 km a výška střední betonové části dosahuje 78 m. Celkový objem nádrže činí 7,4 km³.

Historie
Záměr vybudovat přehradu poblíž hranic s Etiopií vznikl v Súdánu již během britské koloniální správy. Měla zajišťovat vodu pro zavodňovací projekt Kenana, který byl plánován v podobném rozsahu jako již fungující systém Gezira. Po vyhlášení nezávislosti Súdánu v roce 1956, neměl nově vzniklý stát dostatek financí na tak velkou stavbu. Když byl na přelomu 50. a 60. let vybudován přivaděč Managil, který odváděl vodu ze Sennarské přehrady do polí v okolí města Al Managil, přestala zásobní kapacita této přehrady stačit. Většinu zadržené vody pro období sucha spotřebovával zavodňovací systém Gezira, vybudovaný při stavbě přehrady o více než třicet let dříve. Další problém představovalo každoroční ukládání značného množství sedimentů a tím snižování už tak nedostatečného zásobního prostoru. Jediným řešením bylo vybudovat další přehradu, umístěnou výše proti proudu, která by dokázala zadržet požadovaný chybějící objem.

V roce 1959 byla mezi Egyptem a Súdánem uzavřena nová dohoda o využívání Nilu, ve které bylo Súdánu povoleno vybudovat přehradu Roseires a přiznáno právo využívat ročně 18,5 km³ vody. Po získání půjčky od Světové banky a Západního Německa byla v roce 1961 započata stavba. Dokončena byla v roce 1966. Celková délka hráze tehdy dosahovala 13,5 km a tvořila ji 1 km dlouhá pilířová betonová hráz a na ni navazující zemní sypané hráze o délkách 8,5 km na západní a 4 km na východní straně. Výška střední betonové hráze činila 68 m. Plocha nádrže dosahovala 290 km² a její celkový objem byl 3,024 km³. O několik let později v roce 1971 byla zprovozněna elektrárna.

S postupem let se však i tato nádrž potýkala se stejnými problémy jako přehrada u Sennaru. V důsledku každoročních záplav se značně snížil její zásobní objem. Uvádí se, že během let 1966 až 1995 došlo vlivem ukládání sedimentů ke snížení kapacity přehrady o 40 procent. Bylo proto rozhodnuto zvýšit a prodloužit hráz, s čímž bylo počítáno už během její výstavby v 60. letech. Hráz byla zvýšena o 10 m a prodloužena na současných 25 km. Plocha nádrže se z původních 290 km² rozrostla na 627 km².

Využití
Hlavním účelem přehrady je akumulace vody pro zavlažování v období sucha. Další význam spočívá ve výrobě elektrické energie. Využívána je též i pro rybolov.

Zavlažování
V současné době slouží přehradní nádrž jako zásobní prostor pro zavodňovací systémy Gezira a Managil v součinnosti se Sennarskou přehradou. Dále zajišťuje vodu pro zavodňovací systémy Suki, North West Sennar a Rahad 1, které čerpají vodu z řeky v úseku mezi přehradami. Do oblasti Rahad 1 v povodí stejnojmenného toku je voda vedena přivaděčem přes povodí řeky Dinder, kterou kanál podtéká vybudovaným sifonem. Plánovány jsou další zavodňovací projekty Kenana, Roseires, Dinder a Rahad 2, které budou odebírat vodu přímo z přehrady.

Od roku 1971 je přehrada využívána také k výrobě elektrické energie. Před navýšením hráze byla elektrárna vybavena sedmi Kaplanovými turbínami o celkovém výkonu 280 MW. Kromě této elektrárny je zde v provozu ještě malá vodní elektrárna s dvěma turbínami o celkovém výkonu 2 MW. Ta je určena pro provoz přehrady a přilehlé město.

Public-private cooperation forged for safer digital ecosystem
CJ OliveNetworks announced on Nov. 9 that it would share the results of its security consulting for 13 small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) on Nov. 16.
Toward that end, the Seoul-based system integrator joined forces with the state-backed Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) and FindTheGap.
CJ OliveNetworks has operated a program named "CJ White Hat," which was designed to help SMEs strengthen their security-related capabilities.
CJ OliveNetworks and KISA organized a bug bounty program with the voluntary participation of SMEs, which pay attention to their security.
A bug bounty program is a deal offered by organizations by which individuals can receive recognition and compensation for reporting bugs, including security exploits and vulnerabilities.
A total of 11 white hackers are scheduled to receive prizes next week.
"The social responsibility event is aimed at creating a safer digital ecosystem," a CJ OliveNetworks official said.
"We will continue to expand cooperation with institutes, schools and corporations, which care about security as a part of the ESG management."
Short for Environmental, Social, and corporate Governance, ESG is the three major factors in measuring the sustainability of a corporation or business.
Over the past few years, the initiative has won the hearts and minds of businesspeople as an essential managerial value locally and globally.
