Q: NHibernate QueryOver Where with internal select I have a problem with translating this SQL into QueryOver notation. Can you help me?
SELECT * FROM Alerts a
WHERE a.CreatedOn = (
    SELECT MAX(b.CreatedOn) FROM Alerts b WHERE b.UserFk=a.UserFk);

I try to select last alert for every user. I use CreatedOn and cannot use Id.
I have so far:
session.QueryOver(() => alertAlias)
        .SelectList(list => list
            .Select(() => alertAlias.User.Id)
            .SelectSubQuery(
                QueryOver.Of<Alerts>()
                    .Where(x => x.User.Id == alertAlias.User.Id)
                    .OrderBy(x => x.CreatedOn).Desc
                    .Select(x => x.CreatedOn)
                    .Take(1)));

I know it adds user's last alert date to every user's alert row. But I want to have only last alerts.

A: Your attempt is using subquery inside of a SELECT statement. But we need to move it into WHERE. This should be the way:
// this is a subquery (SELECT ....
var subquery = QueryOver.Of<Alerts>()
        .Where(x => x.User.Id == alertAlias.User.Id)
        .OrderBy(x => x.CreatedOn).Desc
        .Select(x => x.CreatedOn)
        .Take(1)));

// main Query could now have or do not have that subquery selected
var query = session.QueryOver(() => alertAlias)
    .SelectList(list => list
        .Select(() => alertAlias.User.Id)
        // could be there
        .SelectSubQuery(subquery)
    )
    // but mostly here we do use WHERE clause
    .WithSubquery
        .WhereProperty(() => alertAlias.CreatedOn)
        .Eq(subquery)
        ;

// such a query could be returned as a list of arrays
var results = query.List<object[]>();

We can also use some Result Transformer, but this is another story...

En français, l'usage du vous ou vouvoiement renvoie à la forme de politesse lorsqu'on s'adresse à quelqu'un tandis que l'usage du tu ou tutoiement renvoie à la forme familière. La forme de politesse est identique à la  personne du pluriel et engendre le même accord sur le verbe (« M'entendez-vous ? »). Cependant, les formes participiales et adjectivales s'accordent au singulier si la forme de politesse s'adresse à une seule personne (« Vous êtes seule.»). Le vouvoiement ne permet donc de préciser le degré de politesse qu'au singulier : au pluriel, le même pronom est utilisé (ce qui n'est pas forcément le cas dans d'autres langues, comme le portugais). Vous peut donc s'adresser à une personne que l'on vouvoie, plusieurs personnes que l'on tutoie ou plusieurs personnes que l'on vouvoie.

Le choix du pronom d'allocution dépend de diverses variables : l'âge, le genre, la profession, la zone géographique. On peut très rapidement passer du vous au tu (« On se tutoie ? ») mais l'inverse est extrêmement rare. De plus, le vous est la forme utilisée le plus spontanément avec une personne inconnue, à l'exception des enfants.

Âge
Il a été montré que chez les jeunes jusqu'à , le tutoiement est plus commun et facile.Par exemple, lorsque le locuteur a moins de 10 et qu'il s'adresse à un interlocuteur de moins de , plus jeune ou du même âge que lui, l'emploi du tu est de rigueur. Si son interlocuteur est plus âgé, il y aura une hésitation entre le tu et le vous. Cette tendance s'observe pour chaque catégorie d'âges (, , , ,  et plus) avec quelques nuances qui peuvent s'expliquer par la relation entretenue entre les personnes ou d'autres facteurs étudiés dans l'enquête. Cette tendance est également observée dans une autre étude qui démontre que les jeunes entre  tutoient plus facilement que les personnes plus âgées entre .
Le choix du pronom d'allocution dépend en plus de l'âge du degré de connaissance entre le locuteur et l'interlocuteur.
Un locuteur âgé de  ou moins va toujours tutoyer un interlocuteur de son âge ou plus jeune qu'il connaît. En revanche, il va hésiter beaucoup plus si son interlocuteur est plus âgé et connu. Dans le cas d'un interlocuteur inconnu, le principe est le même chez un locuteur de moins de . En revanche, il est intéressant de remarquer que pour les locuteurs entre , l'hésitation du choix du pronom d'allocution est plus marquée lorsque l'interlocuteur a moins de .

Genre
Une étude a montré que dans le milieu du travail, les hommes pratiquent plus facilement le tutoiement que les femmes avec leur supérieur direct. Cette différence s'explique entre autres par le fait que les hommes exercent plus souvent des métiers de niveaux hiérarchiques élevés dans lesquels l'usage du tu est plus courant. De plus, il a été observé qu'il existe une barrière de genre et qu'il est plus aisé de tutoyer une personne du même genre que soi.

Profession
Certaines pratiques sociales instituent le tutoiement dans la communication, comme les radioamateurs, les enseignants, les militants politiques et syndicaux, les échanges sur forums Internet (pour un courrier électronique en revanche, cela dépend surtout de la manière dont on aborde la personne). La motivation informelle commandant le tutoiement dans ces contextes est que tous les membres de la communauté concernée sont des pairs, et dans ces cas l'usage du vouvoiement établirait une distance ou une hiérarchie. Il a été montré dans une enquête sur le tutoiement dans le monde professionnel qu'il existe des variations en fonction des domaines d'activités. Par exemple, on compte 89% de tu dans les activités scientifiques et techniques, mais seulement 56% dans les activités immobilières.

Zone géographique
La distinction entre tutoiement et vouvoiement varie également en fonction de la zone francophone : un Québécois, par exemple, utilise plus facilement le tutoiement qu'un Français, alors qu'à l'inverse un Wallon l'utilise moins facilement ou fera varier cet usage selon des conditionnements contextuels très différents.

Q: What is difference between Servlet, Filter and Listener to handle below scenario's? I have a 3 scenarios to handle
1) Authenticate User
2) For Any Request After Login, User should have valid HttpSession Unique Id.
3) As some values in HttpSession has been modified for that specific user, then Audit Log entry to be made into database.
I think for
Scenario 1 - Servlet is helpful
Scenario 2 - Filter is Helpful
Scenario 3 - HttpSessionListner is helpful.
Also what will be the sequence of calling, if we define these 3 in web.xml and request is processed by web container ?

A: 1) Servlets are dependent on the priority you given to it, If you give 'load-on-startup'
     as 1 then it is called immediately when your application starts, or if you not then it is
     called normally when you made request for it.
2) Filter gets called at every server request.
3) HttpSessionListner is called when your session is created or destroyed.


This installation explores the question of 'why do people separate design from the arts?'. Each figure demonstrates a pose that any visual artist could take in this modern era. Furthermore, the sentence specifically compares painting and design, and yet the piece itself is entirely sculpture. Finally, the sentence reads both ways, taking advantage of the staircase it was installed in. Painting's fun, but design pays bills or Design's fun, but painting pays bills. People put up mental barriers between the visual arts, and this project seeks to tear them down.

Leah Remini "Troublemaker" Book Signing
Thara2488 Children's, Comedy, Movies and Television, New York 0
Leah Remini, star of "The King of Queens", will be signing the copies of "Troublemaker" at the following location.
Warren Street.
Leah Remini is an actor, producer, and writer. A fixture on television since the age of eighteen, Remini is best known for her beloved role of Carrie on the nine-season hit The King of Queens. Remini went on to produce and star in one of the earliest and most successful comedic web series, In the Motherhood, and appeared in the movie Old School alongside Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn. In 2010, Remini helped launch and co-hosted the first season of the CBS daytime hit show The Talk, and in 2013 she was seen on the dance floor in Dancing with the Stars. She currently co-stars in the TV Land comedy The Exes and TLC's reality show Leah Remini: It's All Relative, which she also created and executive produces. Remini finds great joy in her philanthropic work with numerous and diverse military, women's, and children's charities. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband and daughter.
The outspoken actress, talk show host, and reality television star offers up a no-holds-barred memoir, including an eye-opening insider account of her tumultuous and heart-wrenching thirty-year-plus association with the Church of Scientology.
Leah Remini has never been the type to hold her tongue. That willingness to speak her mind, stand her ground, and rattle the occasional cage has enabled this tough-talking girl from Brooklyn to forge an enduring and successful career in Hollywood. But being a troublemaker has come at a cost.
That was never more evident than in 2013, when Remini loudly and publicly broke with the Church of Scientology. Now, in this frank, funny, poignant memoir, the former King of Queens star opens up about that experience for the first time, revealing the in-depth details of her painful split with the church and its controversial practices.
Indoctrinated into the church as a child while living with her mother and sister in New York, Remini eventually moved to Los Angeles, where her dreams of becoming an actress and advancing Scientology's causes grew increasingly intertwined. As an adult, she found the success she'd worked so hard for, and with it a prominent place in the hierarchy of celebrity Scientologists alongside people such as Tom Cruise, Scientology's most high-profile adherent. Remini spent time directly with Cruise and was included among the guests at his 2006 wedding to Katie Holmes.
But when she began to raise questions about some of the church's actions, she found herself a target. In the end, she was declared by the church to be a threat to their organization and therefore a "Suppressive Person," and as a result, all of her fellow parishioners—including members of her own family—were told to disconnect from her. Forever.
Bold, brash, and bravely confessional, Troublemaker chronicles Leah Remini's remarkable journey toward emotional and spiritual freedom, both for herself and for her family. This is a memoir designed to reveal the hard-won truths of a life lived honestly—from an author unafraid of the consequences.

There are about 60 boutique hotel barges that cruise along the peaceful and beautiful canals and rivers of France. They vary in size, comfort level and price – and they can be found in all the most attractive regions of France. Some can be booked by cabin (room) others are chartered complete by groups and families. Whatever the details of any particular barge, they all come complete with captain and crew who look after navigation; and professional chef and hostess to care for guests.
The Belmond group offers the dernier mot in luxury travel. With world class hotels such as the Cipriani in Venice they have gained a reputation for offering outstanding comfort and service and the Belmond Napoleon, the largest ship in their fleet, is no exception to this. Refurbished in 2016, her three decks are beautifully appointed, with spacious en-suite cabins of 135 square feet each, a lounge with piano keyboard and a sun deck complete with Jacuzzi and gym, enabling up to 12 guests to enjoy unsurpassed comfort as they glide down one of the most spectacular waterways in Europe.
The River Rhône rises in the Swiss Alps and is joined by the Saône at Lyon heading due south for the Mediterranean Sea. The Saône is one of the most attractive rivers in France: broad, sleepy and unhurried, it links up with the Burgundy Canal, the River Doubs and the Rhône au Rhine Canal and passes through delightful countryside replete with wildlife – herons, kites and the pale Charolais cattle that come down to the waterside to drink. Macon offers an ideal base for discovering the Beaujolais, and Lyon has the largest number of renaissance buildings outside Italy – a visual delight. Voyagers along the Rhône pass by the vineyards of the Côtes du Rhône and Châteauneuf du Pape, visiting memorable and famous towns such as Valence, Viviers (a beautiful hilltop medieval village overlooking the river), Avignon (the Bridge and the Pope's Palace) and finally Arles (where Van Gogh created his most iconic sun-drenched paintings).
A typical day will see you sailing along the wide blue river in the morning – you can sit on deck with a cooling drink in your hand and watch the countryside pass by. After an indulgent three course lunch, most afternoons will offer diversion in the form of a visit to a local attraction – for example a trip to St Remy for an olive oil tasting.
All meals on board Napoleon are prepared by an expert chef with fresh ingredients from local suppliers. Great care and expertise is taken in planning the menus and vegetarian, pescatarian, vegan and non-allergenic dishes can easily be arranged. They are served either in the dining room or up on deck, accompanied by carefully matched wines from the region.
On the Arles to Tain l'Hermitage route along the river Rhône you will travel by first class train to Arles and after a champagne reception and dinner on board, there will be time to explore the town so closely associated with Van Gogh. After visiting another of his haunts, St Remy, you will cruise to Avignon, past the famous bridge, where the afternoon's excursion is a visit to the Pont du Gard, part of the Roman aqueduct taking water to Nimes.
Day Three offers a guided tour of Avignon and the 14th century Palace of the Popes. After lunch and a visit to Châteauneuf du Pape for a wine tasting you will depart for St. Etienne des Sorts. The influence of ancient Rome's civilisation is no more apparent than in Orange where you can discover the town's exquisite amphitheatre, which is beautifully preserved. Lunch on board and a cruise to the mooring at Viviers, home to the smallest cathedral in France, includes passing through La Bollene – the deepest lock in Europe.
Among the highlights of Day Five are a visit a working lavender distillery and an ancient XVIII century olive mill. Lunch at a superb local restaurant in Grignan is followed by a 'black diamond' tasting on a local truffle farm. No French holiday would be complete without shopping in a colourful market, in this case at La Voulte, after which you will spend the last afternoon idling through the terraced hillsides of the Côte du Rhône to your final mooring in Tain or Tournon. A visit to the nearby winery at Chez Ferraton for a tasting and tour provides the perfect aperitif before your farewell gala dinner on board the ship.
These lazy days on Napoleon, drifting through some of the most languidly beautiful landscapes and offset with just the right amount of cultural stimulation, will surely work their magic and leave you feeling renewed and replenished. The countryside, the culture and the cuisine really are the stuff of which dreams are made and when you surface at the end of a memorable week, you will probably find yourself wanting to dream again.
► Make an enquiry to get a firm quotation for this or any other hotel barge for the time of year that interests you.
Hotel barges often collect and return guests to a pre-agreed hotel. French international airports are located at Toulouse and Paris-Charles de Gaulle and there are European-flight airports at Montpellier and Lyon. There are also TGV express train stations near Dole and at Macon, Lyon, Avignon, Montpellier and Toulouse; and many other towns in the region have railway connections.

"I was at Hofstra. I know how good these smaller schools are. We scrapped our way to win in an ugly game." – Villanova coach Jay Wright, explaining how teams like Radford put pressure on higher seeds.
"You do. You think about it." – Wright, acknowledging that no coach wants his team to be the first #1 seed to fall to a #16 seed.
"I have never had more fun with a team than I have had with this group. It is a shame we did not play better tonight, but Villanova had a lot to do with that." – Radford coach Mike Jones, expressing disappointment with tonight's result.
Sights and Sounds. The Radford contingent that made the trek to Pittsburgh deserves a ton of credit, as they were loud and proud throughout the game. When it became abundantly clear that the Highlanders had no chance at victory — which was around the first TV timeout — it actually made their crowd more supportive. After the final buzzer, the Radford team showed its appreciation by gathering in front of the fans and saluting them for a job well done.
What's Next. Villanova advances to the Second Round where it will face Alabama on Saturday.

Artistry, History and Performance Practice of Woodwinds and Woodwind Doubling
Remembrances of music industry friends.
Joe Rabbai—A Man of Talent & Decency
On Tuesday, 8/11/20, the world of music lost Joseph Rabbai. Joe was one of the finest clarinetists, musicians, and people I have ever met. A musician's musician who exuded an "old world" approach to treating people and respecting the art of music-making, he never lost his love for playing the clarinet, practicing, or listening to music during the 17 years after his retirement from his job as principal clarinet of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra in 2003. And never once in the years that I knew him did he ever speak of himself or the many important positions that he had held with a sense of ego. Rather, he understood the role of a musician who was there to service the music in the best way possible. And he was totally devoted to his talented and loving daughter, Debbie Rabbai, throughout the years that I knew him.

Lynn Harrell—Keep Going!
Lynn Harrell was one of the great musicians in American classical music over the past 55 years. Appointed as the principal cellist of the Cleveland Orchestra by George Szell when he was 20, he went on to have an illustrious career as a soloist who performed with every major world-class orchestra and as a chamber player. A multiple Grammy award winner, he was a prominent teacher at some of the world's finest conservatories including The Juilliard School, The Cleveland Institute, USC and Rice. His recent passing on 4/27/20 at age 76 was a terrible loss for all lovers of music but it also recalled some of his great accomplishments. A friend sent me the following commencement speech that Mr. Harrell made some 26 years ago at The Cleveland Institute. In today's pandemic world where the future of life and music feel in grave danger, the thoughts and observations he expressed back then resonate with greater importance today. I hope you feel inspired by the words of this master musician.

Larry Abel—A Musical Mensch!
On December 27, 2016, the music industry lost one its great artists and most ardent supporters, Larry Abel. Larry was 83 when he passed and is survived by his wife Shelley, sons Curtis & Steven, grandchildren Hudson and Chloe-Kate, and sister Sally. Larry was more than just my friend: he was a symbol of what was good about the music industry and humanity. From the first moment that I met him, I felt that I had met a friend and found someone who cared about music as much as anyone I had ever encountered and demanded that every job be treated with great respect and dignity.
I met Larry Abel in 1995 during the early stages of the Broadway production of Victor Victoria. I had been hired by a well-known Broadway contractor for the first time and was to play the lead reed book. Since this was the first time in many years that big Hollywood money was being invested in a Broadway show and because Blake Edwards and Julie Andrews were directly involved in the production, everyone was quite nervous. There were several additional important industry people involved with the production including Henry Mancini, Leslie Bricusse, Frank Wildhorn, Ian Fraser, Rob Marshall and the great Billy Byers.

Al Block—One of the Good Guys
On August 15, 2015 we lost Al Block, one of the wonderful woodwind doublers of the twentieth century who was 89 years old when he succumbed to pneumonia. Al had a distinguished career having played with the Sauter-Finegan Band, Benny Goodman, Boyd Raeburn, Artie Shaw, Raymond Scott, among many other big bands. He also participated in several legendary recordings including the Miles Davis/Gil Evans Sketches of Spain and Charlie Parker and Voices; played in numerous Broadway shows including the original productions of West Side Story, Gypsy, Cabaret, Sweet Charity, La Cage Aux Folles, etc; and was regarded as one of the better flute doublers of his generation. Al's career was a successful one but not radically different from many of his New York colleagues who came along during the last great heyday of the music and recording industry in the 1950s/1960s.Continue reading →

Remembering Joe Allard
I studied with Joe Allard (12/31/10—5/3/91) intensively from 1971—1978. I believe I would have never had a career in music if I had not studied with Joe. While I could move my fingers pretty nimbly on clarinet and saxophone when I met him, I had no clue whatsoever about sophisticated and elegant music making at the time or how to play with line, regardless of musical style. Joe changed all of that for me. My first lesson was on a Friday night at 9pm at his Carnegie Recital Hall Studio. (I was his last lesson of the day and he had more energy than I did as an 18 yr. old!) I figured I would impress him by playing the Nielsen Clarinet Concerto. After a minute or so of playing, he said: "Let's hear Mozart." I thought, what have I gotten myself into?" Continue reading →

The Genius of Tom Nyfenger
Remembering Tom Nyfenger
Originally Published April, 2011
The New York Flute Club Newsletter
It has been 30 years since we lost Tom Nyfenger. His passing left a void in both the world of performance and in music education. It is not often that a world-class player is also a world-class teacher but Nyfenger was precisely that! He was that rare bird who could play at the highest musical levels possible and could also explain and defend every note in his interpretations based on sound musicological and physiological truths. Blessed with a phenomenal ear for hearing pitch and harmony, great inner rhythmic sense, enormous theoretical knowledge, and a brilliant technique, Nyfenger could detect any weakness in a student's musicality. In addition, his pianistic ability allowed him to play the keyboard parts to any flute sonata or concerto and he would often demonstrate improvisational skills that would result in accompaniments to a single-line work at lessons. (He would often create piano parts for JeanJean Etudes or Telemann Fantasias on the spot.) Continue reading →

Chicken thighs are great for roasting, slow cooking, and stews. The thigh portion is more affordable, juicier and can be just as healthy as a chicken breast when prepared properly.
All our chicken is Vancouver Island raised, free run & air chilled. This means that the chicken is bursting with flavor and is so tender you can cut it with a fork.

Q: SQL Left Join on Self I know this has been asked before and I have tried the techniques I've seen here. But it's just not working.
I have a table of 'People' which looks like this
PersonID, PersonName, PersonYOB, PersonCOB, FatherID
1    Fred Astaire    1963    USA    2
2    Bruce Astaire   1933    USA    NULL
3    Adele Astaire   1961    FR     2
4    Gene Kelly      1965    IT     NULL
5    Lucy Astaire    1935    USA    NULL

What I would like to do is a SELECT where the Father name comes from the father's PersonID. I also have the Mother but I've removed that for simplicity. Once I get Father to work I'll add Mother back in.
My current SELECT looks like this
SELECT p.*, f.PersonName AS FatherName FROM People
LEFT OUTER JOIN People f ON
p.PersonID = f.FatherID

All of my People appear but the FatherName is always NULL.
Fred Astaire should show Father ID 2 and f.PersonName as Bruce Astaire. The same is true for Adele Astaire (his sister).
What am I missing?

A: Here you go with inner join because you are trying to join the table with itself....
SELECT p.*, f.PersonName AS 'FatherName' FROM People p   //here is the p you forgot
    INNER JOIN People f ON
    p.PersonID = f.FatherID

A: Your join condition is in incorrect. Change as below.
SELECT p.*, f.PersonName AS FatherName FROM People p
LEFT OUTER JOIN People f ON
p.FatherID= f.PersonID

Q: Sending a retrieved value from fetch to express  fetch(apiURL, setting)
     .then(loadRes)
     .then(logger)

     function loadRes(res){
       console.log("loadRes is called");
       return res.json();
     }

     function logger(reply){
       stringReply = JSON.stringify(reply);
       //console.log("The JSON String " + stringReply)
       return new Promise(resolve => {
         setTimeout(() => {
           resolve(stringReply);
         }, 2000);
       });
     }

     async function asyncCall(){
       const result = await logger(reply); // a string value i.e "Hello World"
       console.log(result); //for testing
     }

How do I retrieve the value of stringReply and place it in the app.post from a Express module
app.post('/', function( req, res){
 res.send(); //
}

When a value is obtained in function logger(reply) , I would want it to be able to send it to res.send().
I have tried putting res.send(asyncCall()) but it does not work.
Whenever I call asyncCall(), I would expect a string value.


At UCI, our talented faculty and students work hard to generate new knowledge, find creative solutions to our world's grand challenges, and serve our local and global communities in significant and far-reaching ways. But we don't do it alone. We do it through the generosity of alumni, parents and friends – like you – who want to make a difference.
Over the last 50 years, state funding plus tuition have built UCI into one of the top 10 public universities in the country. But major decreases in state support have led to a new financial reality for the UC system.
At a time when less than 10 percent of UCI's budget comes from the state, a gift to UCI is not only a vote of confidence in UCI's great work but also a powerful investment in the people and projects touched by Anteaters everywhere.
Together, gifts of all sizes add up to make a huge difference on our campus, the state and beyond.
Less than 10 percent of UCI's budget comes from the state of California, yet UCI is one of the top 10 universities in the nation.
All gifts – regardless of size – make a difference. In fact, 90 percent of all gifts made to UCI are less than $1,000.

First offshore wind farm completed
Alex Kuffner
akuffner@providencejournal.com
PROVIDENCE -- Construction of the first offshore wind farm in the nation is complete.
Crews working for Providence-based developer Deepwater Wind mounted the final blade on the fifth turbine of the Block Island Wind Farm just after 4 p.m. on Thursday.
Deepwater has been building the demonstration wind farm in waters about three miles southeast of Block Island since last year. Steel foundations went in first over a four-month period from July to November 2015 and over the past two and a half weeks the General Electric-made turbines were assembled on top of them.
The six-megawatt turbines will now go through a battery of tests before they go into full operation and start producing power by Nov. 1.

The Latest: UK watchdog slams government over ferry contract
Posted Feb 12, 2019 5:23 am ADT
LONDON — The Latest on Britain's exit from the European Union (all times local):
Britain's spending watchdog has issued a damning assessment of the Department of Transport's efforts to secure a ferry contract to ease disruption in the event the country leaves the European Union without an agreement on future relations.
The National Audit Office says it was only last autumn that the government recognized the possibility of significant disruption to freight traffic for up to six months after Brexit, rather than previous estimates of six weeks.
The department signed a 13.8 million-pound ($17.7 million) deal with Seaborne Freight, even though the firm had no ships and failed to meet the criteria for the contract.
The contract was terminated last weekend after Irish company Arklow Shipping, which had backed the new operation, backed away from the deal.
British Prime Minister Theresa May is set to urge lawmakers to "hold their nerve" as she struggles to finalize a divorce agreement with the European Union.
May will update the House of Commons on Tuesday on the state of the negotiations, a day earlier than planned to give lawmakers more time to "digest" the remarks before a series of votes on Thursday.
In excerpts released before her statement, May says: "The talks are at a crucial stage. We now all need to hold our nerve to get the changes this House has required and deliver Brexit on time."
Britain is scheduled to leave the bloc on March 29. Parliament last month rejected May's deal with the EU, partly because of concerns it would tie Britain to the bloc indefinitely.

"Jatropha Is Not Competing with Existing Food Crops to Produce Biodiesel"
By Ashwani Kumar | September 7th 2009 10:00 PM | Print | E-mail
"Jatropha Is Not Competing with Existing Food Crops to Produce Biodiesel"
The biofuel market is growing, and with it the development of certain crops to meet energy needs. One of which is Jatropha, a plant that is gaining importance in this sector. Ian Graham the Deputy Director of the Centre for Novel Agricultural Products and professor at the <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" /?>University of York in the UK answers scitizens questions.
A new kind of biofuel is being produced derived from a plant called Jatropha. Can you explain a little about this plant?
Jatropha is bush that grows in the warm regions of the world as it is sensitive to colder climates. Once it's planted it grows and produces nuts that contain oil within a few years, and produces these annually for up to 50 years. Jatropha has been grown in developing countries for many years. In fact, it was distributed by Portuguese sailors from Mexico and South America over a hundred years ago to places such as India, Africa, and South East Asia. It's been used locally for production of oil that was used in local village based industries for soap production. Since the plants are toxic they have also been used to plant hedges and to keep animals out of areas of land.
How does Jatropha compare to other biofuels?
The oil that is produced in the nuts of Jatropha is essentially a vegetable oil that is quite similar in terms of fatty acid content such as rapeseed oil. It has quite a typical profile of fatty acids in the oil, and it's essentially a very good source of biodiesel.
Countries like China and Brazil have become very keen on Jatropha. Would you say that Jatropha based biofuel could become a leader in the biofuel market?
I think it will certainly persist in that market. One of the main reasons why it will persist in the market is that all of the other so-called first generation biofuels currently rely on vegetable material that has been developed as a source of food or feed. If you look at current sources of biodiesel for example, soy bean oil, rapeseed oil, or palm oil, all of these crops have been developed over the years as a food or feed stock for animals. A similar situation exists with first generation sources of material for bioethanol production with sugar cane, sugar beet, or corn starch all having been developed for food and feed. Unlike these, Jatropha is not a food crop, and it's not competing with existing food crops to produce biodiesel. Also, one of the really interesting things about it is that it grows quite well on marginal land. In India for example, this is the case, and the Indian government has identified millions of hectares of land, which is suitable for Jatropha plantations.
How far has India taken the production of Jatropha?
I don't have the current details of hectares that are planted, but India has invested quite significantly in Jatropha development at the government level. There has also been investments from outside companies such as one of the leading companies D1 Oils from the UK, which has involved both in securing rights to plant Jatropha in India and also in several African countries.
Is it ready for wide scale production?
There is still a significant amount of research that needs to be done on Jatropha before it could become a dominant and sustainable source of biofuels. The actual breeding and development of the genetic resources of Jatropha are at quite an early stage. A lot of the plantations are being established with early stage varieties. My expectation is that with increased fast track breeding of Jatropha there will be plants that will give higher yields or be more resistant to drought and disease. We also need to know far more about the different genotypes and varieties of Jatropha around the world, and whether there is a large amount of genetic variation that can be used to develop Jatropha crops for different geographical locations.

Great! I'll take a look at that. That could a great thing to start from.

KSB India Tour Blog: Embarrassment of Riches, Part 2 - Tuesday, December 31 - Rickshaw Rides!
Embarrassment of Riches, Part 2 - Tuesday, December 31 - Rickshaw Rides!
New Year's Eve started with a full morning of sectional rehearsals and catching up on tour journals. As always on tour, the reality of daily rehearsals, plus using time before meals and on buses to tend to the smallest musical details and deepen the boys knowledge of repertoire is paying off - the guys sound amazing.
Then back on the bus to the Red Fort where we met up with 35 Rickshaw Drivers!
Raj Ghat is memorial to Gandhi, a black marble platform that marks the spot of his cremation.
The Grads gathered around the monument and sang Gandhi's favorite hymn, "Lead Kindly Light"
In Silence, we returned to the rickshaws and continued our journey into the Market in Old Delhi.
Another head spinner: from the quiet contemplation on Gandhi's life to the Market of Old Delhi.
It's been said that India is simultaneously existing in multiple centuries. You experience that in the Old Market. If there was a sound track, it might be the Grads singing, but more appropriately it would be the sound of the horns of every single type of vehicle from trucks and buses to rickshaw cabs and motorcycles, honking, squawking, blaring, beeping. And at the same time, men from some longer ago world, their goods on their heads, or drawn on wooden wagons.
The pictures will tell the story better than I can!
A Concert in the Old Market?
Heads spinning, sensory overload, culture shock. for all of us, the result is beyond exhilarating just to be driven on the rickshaws through the NARROW streets in the old Market, and then once through the narrowest most crowded streets, we got off the rickshaws and walked to the Spice market. We found a large enough space to assemble in performance order, set up the percussion and sang the Islamic Chant "Zikr" and Hindu Raga "Ramkali". A crowd of men gathered, curious, though it's hard to tell what they made of KSB, with no context for what the boys were doing, since choral music doesn't exist in their world. No applause at the end of songs, no smiles, none of what usually happens when the boys connect with an audience. Same thing after "Ramkali". And after "Holly Jolly Christmas".
At about that point, it was clear that it was time to move on, when all of a sudden out of nowhere a parade showed up, complete with marching bands, floats with Hindu gods - Ganesh, at least - illuminated in the twilight by men carrying big portable chandeliers to light the way.
As evening descended we made our way back to the rickshaws through the most insane traffic imaginable.
Rickshaws, motorcycles, cars, people, minicabs, people pushing hand carts, all to with the constant blaring of every sound of horn blaring!
Actually, it's not imaginable because it just doesn't exist anywhere in our world. Not even close.
And then we went off to a very modern, also very familiar conference center for dinner arranged by Reuben Israel, who made many of our arrangements for this trip!
An embarrassment of riches, days when we are profoundly aware of how lucky we are to be us, and how grateful we are for the imagination of Mr. Fisher!
For a KSB point of reference, those on this trip to India who also experienced the magical day in Antarctica called yesterday THAT famous KSB day its peer.
I'm going to try to get one more post up - just pictures from today in Neemrana.

Galaxy S21's camera features are good, but are they enough? – CNET
This story is part of CES, where our editors will bring you the latest news and the hottest gadgets of the entirely virtual CES 2021.
Samsung's flagship Galaxy S21 line is here, with the S21 Ultra packing all the bells and whistles you'd expect from a top-end phone. And while it has multiple cameras, and a variety of photography features, most of the headline features, including its 100x zoom, 108-megapixel resolution and 8K video were launched with last year's Galaxy S20 cameras and that makes it harder as a professional photographer to get excited.
It was those three features that Samsung particularly highlighted in its press briefing before launch, which seemed odd, given that they're old features. You have to look a bit deeper to find the updates here. There are two telephoto lenses that now offer 3x and 10x optical rather than 10x digital zoom (albeit at 10, rather than 48 megapixels), and the main image sensor is apparently larger (although Samsung hasn't been able to tell me by how much) and can supposedly produce images with improved dynamic range — more than three times the dynamic range of the S20 Ultra, Samsung says.
Galaxy S21 Ultra: Our first look at Samsung's new premium…
It's this last point that excites me the most. Increased sensor size and dynamic range could be big deals to photographers as they can result in better-looking shots with more controlled highlights, along with more scope for editing images taken in raw format in apps like Adobe Lightroom Mobile. How much difference the updates make remains to be seen when we get the phone in for testing.
But it's arguably still more of a case of refinements of existing features rather than bringing anything revolutionary to the table. And while that means you're still getting a phone with a great camera, I rather feel that Samsung needed to try something a bit more exciting for its top-end flagship.
The Galaxy S20 Ultra and the Apple iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Andrew Hoyle/CNET
Samsung's mobile business struggled last year, and with the S21, it needs a success. One rumor indicates that Samsung is aiming for the S21 to be cheaper than its predecessor, which may go some way to explaining the lack of major new features; refining existing tech is much cheaper than developing something entirely new.
And maybe that's fine for the base S21 — giving people a more affordable entry into the line would be a smart move, just as Samsung did with the Galaxy S20 FE it launched in the second half of last year. But the Ultra model is aimed at the power user who wants the best of the best and are willing to pay more for it, and I think it's a shame to not see more innovation here.
I explained how excited I was about Apple's iPhone 12 Pro Max when it was announced due to its bigger main camera sensor, its faster aperture, its use of advanced computational photography, its video that uses Dolby Vision and, crucially, the introduction of Apple ProRaw, an entirely new way of thinking about raw imaging. Having used it, I'm impressed — the images I can take on the 12 Pro Max rival what I could achieve on DSLRs. Apple understood the need to innovate in imagery for people who want pro features and it certainly wasn't put off charging a hell of a lot for it, knowing that it also had the iPhone 12 and 12 Mini for those on more narrow budgets.
Bear in mind I'm writing this ahead of the phone's official unveiling, and before I've been able to hold it and test it myself. I may well be blown away by the results and conclude that Samsung has made the ultimate photographer's phone. The S20 Ultra can take incredible photos and I'm confident that the S21 will be able to do the same. I loved shooting with the 5x and 10x zoom lenses as they let me capture close-up compositions that I'd need a big telephoto lens to achieve with my Canon DSLR. They're zoom levels that no iPhone can compete with. It's also had something of a design overhaul that's made it look a lot nicer than its intensely dull-looking predecessor.
A shot taken at 100x zoom on the S20 Ultra. Sure, you can make out what it is, but its low quality makes it unusable as anything more than an example.
But the 100x Space Zoom is so low quality that I never used it, and the 30x wasn't even good enough for my Instagram shots. Space Zoom seems like little more than a gimmick that doesn't qualify as a pro feature for me and I'm surprised Samsung didn't eliminate it as part of its cost-cutting measures. Reduce the clutter, concentrate more on what will actually make a real difference in taking stunning images.
There are other new software features too, including being able to record video from the different zoom lenses at once, and to be able to record video with both the front and back camera simultaneously — which we've seen on a variety of phones before. Again, these are features that are fine to have, but they're arguably niche novelties with limited appeal to pro photographers, myself included.
The Galaxy S20 Ultra and Note 20 Ultra both share many key camera specs with the S21 Ultra.
It's not that I find the S21 Ultra disappointing, it's that I'm having to work hard to find reasons to be excited. Perhaps some of that is down to Samsung's press briefings leaning too much on older features rather than outlining what's new, but I can't help but feel if they can't immediately grab the attention of a pro photographer who's also a committed tech obsessive (me) then how are they going to grab the attention of their paying customers?
At a time when Samsung needed to innovate and excite, its reliance on novelties and existing features in its pro-level phone may be a risky strategy.
