Pokemon Go has done the impossible for mobile apps
Tero Kuittinen @teroterotero
Pokemon GO has rolled out in more than 30 countries and it is now two weeks since its US launch. The data around the usage patterns is becoming ever more mindboggling. New numbers AppAnnie has shared with BGR defy belief. Most apps would be deliriously happy to top 20 minute average daily engagement. But each Pokemon GO users spends more than an hour on the app every day. What makes this number stunning is the fact that more than 10% of all American smartphone users play the game.
It has the broadest user base of any mobile game, but also gets those users playing every day. This combination is completely unprecedented.
Apps that get their average user to spend an hour a day tapping the screen tend to appeal to small core of rabid fans. Whatsapp, a universally popular app is regarded as exceptionally addictive because it has managed to get to 27 minute daily average usage time.
DON'T MISS: How much data does Pokemon Go really use?
Despite all that, Pokemon GO has now combined both exceptionally wide reach and amazing daily engagement. More than one tenth of adult American consumers with any spending power are spending more than an hour on Pokemon hunting every day. This means that sectors like retail and restaurants are basically forced to react if Niantic and Nintendo decide to roll out PokeStop promotions for businesses. And of course they will.
AppAnnie is now estimating that the first 20 countries where the app launched are yielding $3 million of daily revenue. Once the giant Asian mobile markets finally open, that number will likely leap over $6 million a day, perhaps as soon as the end of next week.
This is eerily reminiscent of two other major mobile content industry revolutions. In 2010, Angry Birds spread like a wildfire across the globe, demonstrating for the first time the earnings potential of well-designed paid apps with regular updates. In 2013, Candy Crush and Clash of Clans stunned the game industry by demonstrating how free apps can start churning out Billion dollars in annual revenue.
In both cases, a business model that wasn't truly novel was finally delivered with enough finesse and pizzazz to change the way the entire mobile app industry operated. After Angry Birds, all major games had to offer plenty of free content in regular and extensive updates. After Candy Crush and Clash of Clans, cashing in on speeding up game progression became de rigeur.
Now we are facing the Third Age of mobile content. Nothing will be the same – within 2-3 months we will witness a deluge of location-sensitive apps, many with augmented reality and collection features. Mobile game market is a curious beast – it remains seemingly static, improving by small degrees for 3 years at a time. And then via a massive evolutionary leap, it morphs into a totally novel sort of creature, with a majestic new aspect. Kind of like Pokemon.

What Is the Break-Even Point and What Decisions Can ...
Selling Costs As a Percentage of Sales Formula
Does Retail Price Include Selling Costs?
by Kevin Johnston
What Is the Break-Even Point and What Decisions Can Break-Even Analysis Help an Organization Make?
What Is the Weighted Average Contribution Margin in a Break Even Analysis?
Examples of Operational Costs
How to Figure Out the Contribution Margin
How to Add a Markup Percent to a Product
When you set your retail prices, you may be tempted to look at the competition's prices and charge something similar. That might make you competitive, but it may not make you profitable. You have to cover all of your expenses and leave room for profit. Some expenses seem obvious, such as the cost of the products themselves. Other expenses, like the cost of selling the products, may escape your notice. Consider these when pricing.
The Elements of Selling Costs
Think of selling costs as expenses you only have when you sell products. For example, rent wouldn't be a selling cost, because you have that expense whether or not you sell anything. Selling costs include sales commissions, boxes, shopping bags, postage for shipping, delivery charges and processing fees for credit cards, to give a few examples. The more you sell, the more these costs go up.
Additional Variable Expenses
While selling costs are really variable expenses, it's simpler to leave those labeled "selling costs" and think of other expenses that vary from month-to-month. These are variable expenses you have before you sell anything. Examples of these include purchasing products for resale, warehousing, advertising and the cost of counting inventory. You would incur these expenses because you anticipate more sales, but you have to pay them regardless of whether you sell or not.
Fixed Costs
Fixed costs are expenses that do not fluctuate each month. These may change over long periods of time, but as a rule, they are stable. Some of these are rent or mortgage payments, insurance premiums, leases on equipment or vehicles, utilities, and business licenses. All these expenses added together are the cost of opening the doors each day.
Cost-Plus Pricing
To set your retail prices so that you cover all of your expenses, you have to come up with a per-product cost. You find this figure by adding up all of your expenses for a single period, such as a month. For example, selling costs might be $5,000, other variable expenses may come to $8,000 and fixed expenses might be $6,000. This gives you a total of $19,000 in expenses for one month. Divide your expense by the total number of products you sold that month. Let's say you sold 25,000 products. That means 19,000 divided by 25,000 equals 0.76. In this example, you have 76 cents of expenses for each product on average. Add a markup to give yourself some profit. With this method, you make sure you include your selling costs in the price of each product.

The South Assam Hills has always been a secret hide-out for several species of skulking birds that few birders in India and abroad have ventured to see. This area is home to several range-restricted species of laughing thrushes at least one parrotbill and a few babblers. It is also home to an amazing bio-diversity and it is the home of the Nagas. They have the reputation of practising head-hunting until recent times - there is no reliable definition of 'recent' - at least till the 50's. It is an extremely difficult area to travel specially if you are a vegetarian. The Nagas love to eat meat - period.
Angulie Megyase from Khonoma was our guide and we made travel arrangements ourselves.
settler in Dimapur who had bright yellow Maruti Alto ready for us. By the time we reached Kohima - the town was shut and apart from the few shops here and there. The Razhu Pru is located centrally - it is a nicely run homestay and hotel with well appointed rooms and friendly staff. We unpacked quickly and settled in our room after dinner at the restaurant.
Angulie and the driver appeared after breakfast in a comfy Scorpio and we left for the long drive to Pungroe - a small village with scant settlements and lush forested areas in the surrounds. The route is via Pfutsero and Meluri - winding through some amazing forests and quiet small villages. En route we spoke about birds, Nagaland and the weather. The drive eventually came to an end by day break and we walked in the comfortable PWD bungalow. The excitement about the drive was the flock of Yellow Throated Laughing Thrush that I spotted 23 kms prior to Pungroe. There were at least 12 birds and they offered a brief view. This was a big target for us - so both of us were very happy to see this on our first afternoon.
), Large Niltava, Little Pied Flycatcher, Silver Eared Mesia, Crested Finchbill, a few Slender Billed Babblers, Streak Breasted Scimitar Babbler, Rufous Capped Babbler, and a couple of Amur Falcons. Birding was interrupted a few times due to rain and very poor visibility. We returned for lunch and resumed afternoon birding after the rains stopped. The afternoon was quieter and produced fewer birds - The White Browed Laughing Thrush and Moustached Laughing Thrush tapes were played in the area next to the culvert (the first culvert - to the right with tall grass reeds and forests below) and though the former did not respond - we did manage poor views of the Moustached L.T. This is a not so shy bird but very quiet compared to other laughing thrushes and hence very poorly sighted. A few more Amur Falcons and Streak Breasted Scimitar Babbler were sighted as well.
race of the Rusty Fronted Barwing, Flavescent Bulbul, Mountain Bulbul, good views of the Scarlet Backed Flowerpecker and Yellow Vented Flowerpecker, Yellow Eyed Babbler, Orange Bellied Leafbird, a single Ashy Wood Pigeon, a distant Rufous Necked Hornbill, a single soaring Black Eagle and a Rufous Piculet.
Spot Breasted Scimitar Babbler was heard several times but it was hard to spot this ace skulker.
Several species were seen again including the Spot Breasted Parrtobills. The afternoon was very quiet today - so after a brief session at Pungroe we drive down towards the area where we saw the Yellow Throated Laughing Thrush and had better views today. On the way back I heard an Eye Browed Wren Babbler but we just could not see the bird.
warbler which I could not nail and a few other species. In the afternoon we tried again for the Moustached Laughing Thrush and White Browed L.T. but did not get a response. We planned to leave for our next base Knonoma but not before trying for an hour for the two species of Laughing Thrushes. Luckily Arka managed to get one view of the Moustached L.T though the White Browed could only be heard - not sighted. We drove to Khonoma through Phek and Kiphire district and reached late in the evening in time for an early dinner. En route birding was poor primarily because of the heavy slash and burn cultivation which is creating devastation in Nagaland. An erstwhile forested area is being cut and burnt every 4- 7 years and there is no time left for regeneration - birds, mammals, reptiles nothing is spared and if this is not stopped - then there will be no wildlife or forest left in 20 - 30 years.
), Pale Headed Woodpecker, Golden Throated Barbet, Rusty Capped Fulvetta, Rufous Gorgeted Flycatcher, Green Tailed Sunbird, Small Niltava, Spotted Forktail, Plumbeous Water Redstart, Black Breasted Thrush and few other species over the next three days. We tried hard to sight the Brown Capped Laughing Thrush - that had been sighted by Shashak and Ramki from here - but failed. However we heard the Grey Nightjar, and the Oriental Scops Owl - that responded to the calls but did not show up. We did a trek at the Tragopan Sanctuary - but the Blyth's Tragopan did not appear, the trek can be pretty easy in dry times but quite slippery and perilous in wet periods. The visit to Dzukie or Dzuku Valley was interesting - some great sights of pristine dry forests though the birds were mostly elusive. We did see the Mountain Tailor Bird here.
The mammals sighted included the Orange Bellied and Hoary Bellied Squirrel and a Barking Deer. On the way back I sighted a snake which was green and was being pelted at by the locals - timely intervention saved it but the speed at which it disappeared meant - it could not be identified for sure.
I would love to thank Arka, Shashank and Sujan (whom we met at Pungroe) and Angulie for sharing their knowledge about the birds and birding locations of Nagaland and the knowledge on the birds of this area. Our hosts at Khonoma were polite and though it was not luxurious - bucket hot water on request and simple home cooked food with early morning tea/coffee was never a problem.
Finally one word on Nagaland - the area is still very wild and the various tribes and clans of Nagaland would love to get some more freedom in designing their future. However, with very scant respect for nature they can very easily damage the fragile eco-system which will go against the very idea of self-dependence and freedom. Nagaland is a beautiful area and the best time for birding is certainly April-May, but the period during the Hornbill Festival - 1st week of December can be an interesting time of visit too. Those wishing to visit this place must do some detailed planning and organize things well in advance.

NHS bosses who cover up serious failings could be banned from taking another hospital job
10/02/2018 sharmilachowdhury 1 Comment
By Daniel Martin Policy Editor For The Daily Mail 8 February 2018
Cuts at Liverpool Community Health NHS Trust caused 'unnecessary harm'
But its former chief executive and chairman were allowed new NHS jobs after
Health Minister Stephen Barclay has announced review in response to news
Health chiefs who cover up serious failings could be banned from taking another NHS job.
The move to end the 'revolving door' scandal comes after it emerged that two bosses who ran a failed trust where patients suffered 'significant unnecessary harm' have found new health service roles.
A damning independent report has said that the board of Liverpool Community Health NHS Trust was 'out of its depth' when it launched a misguided cost-cutting drive.
The cuts left pensioners suffering crippling bed sores and fractured hips from needless falls, while others had the wrong teeth taken out.
Despite these failings, the former chief executive and chairman of the trust are still working directly or indirectly for the NHS.
And it was reported last night that regulators even helped the chief executive find another six-figure NHS job.
The move to end the 'revolving door' scandal comes after it emerged that two bosses who ran a failed Liverpool trust where patients suffered 'significant unnecessary harm' have found new health service roles
In response, Health and Social Care Minister Stephen Barclay will announce a review of the 'fit and proper person' test.
It was brought in following the Mid Staffordshire scandal, in which hundreds of patients died needlessly amid appalling failings in care.
He wants to see it toughened up to end the 'revolving door' controversy – where failed executives are shifted into other parts of the NHS – once and for all.
Liverpool Community Health (LCH) runs elderly care, walk-in centres and dentistry services for about 750,000 people on Merseyside.
The report by Dr Bill Kirkup, which was commissioned by the NHS Improvement quango, found the board attempted to 'conceal' the problems.
And whistleblowers who attempted to expose the truth were bullied.
The report said standards at LCH deteriorated dramatically after managers attempted to cut costs by 15 per cent in a single year in an attempt to chase foundation trust status.
Chief helped into fresh post – by watchdog
Bernie Cuthel (pictured) stepped down as chief executive of Liverpool Community Health NHS Trust in 2014 over her failings, but she walked into a new NHS job soon after
Bernie Cuthel, the £130,000-a-year chief executive of Liverpool Community Health NHS Trust, stepped down in disgrace in 2014 after her failings were exposed.
But she walked into a new NHS job soon afterwards and regulators helped her to get the position.
Emails seen by the BBC show that the Trust Development Authority, an NHS regulator, found her a position at Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust on a 12-month secondment.
The TDA also provided her with 'coaching support', and said 'the secondment would provide her with a period of rehabilitation, enabling her to reflect on learning from her experiences in Liverpool'.
Her salary at Liverpool was reduced by 10 per cent in Manchester because she was no longer in an executive position.
Now she works at the Betsi Cadwaladr NHS board in North Wales. She is also on the governing body of Nugent, a charity in Liverpool that offers a range of services to children and adults.
This makes a trust semi-independent of Department of Health control and gives boards greater power over their finances and the setting of executive salaries.
The report found that LCH was a 'dysfunctional' organisation.
In an echo of the Mid Staffs scandal, the report said LCH had acted 'inappropriately' in pursuit of foundation trust status – setting 'infeasible financial targets that damaged patient services'.
Dentistry budgets were cut by 44 per cent and 50 district nurses were made redundant.
Dr Kirkup's report said the senior leadership at the trust did not realise it was 'out of its depth'.
It added: 'Staff were overstretched, demoralised and – in some instances – bullied. Significant unnecessary harm occurred to patients.'
Dr Kirkup said the chief executive and chairman of the LCH board were in 'denial' about their role in the affair between 2010 and 2014 – and had refused to co-operate with the review.
A damning independent report has said that the board of Liverpool Community Health NHS Trust (pictured) was 'out of its depth' when it launched a misguided cost-cutting drive
Bernie Cuthel, the chief executive, resigned after the failings were exposed.
But emails seen by BBC News show that the Trust Delivery Authority, an NHS regulator, found her a position at Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust on a 12-month secondment.
Chairman Frances Molloy is now boss of the Liverpool-based Health and Work charity, which has contracts with the health service.
Every LCH board member bar one refused to co-operate with Dr Kirkup's inquiry. Mr Barclay is set to refer all of them to the Care Quality Commission regulator to see whether they fill the 'fit and proper person' test.
Shamed exec got new health deal
Frances Molloy was the trust's chairman, but had to step down after her failings were exposed. She now runs a Liverpool-based charity with NHS contracts
Frances Molloy stepped down as chairman of Liverpool Community Health NHS Trust in 2015 – a year after failings at the trust were exposed.
She now runs a Liverpool-based charity that has contracts with the NHS.
Her Health at Work organisation provides experts in improving health in the workplace, reducing absence and staff turnover.
The charity describes her as its 'inspirational and influential' chief executive.
The organisation's website says its delivers 'public sector contracts for NHS commissioning groups and Public Health England'.
Mrs Molloy lost her son Michael, 18, in a coach crash in 2012. She campaigns for changes in the law to stop buses and coaches using old tyres.
Sources said he believes it is wrong that people who tried to cover up the scandal, continued to deny it was a problem and then refused to co-operate with the official review into the failings should be allowed to work in the NHS.
Mr Barclay will also ask Dr Kirkup to consider whether the test should be rewritten to make it clear that such people should not be able to work anywhere in NHS England – or for any companies which supply it.
Rosie Cooper, Labour MP for West Lancashire, was instrumental in forcing an investigation into the failing trust after nurses looking after her father complained about their managers.
Last night she agreed that 'faceless NHS bureaucrats' responsible for serious failings should not be allowed to walk straight into another NHS job.
'It is time for the 'fit and proper person' test to be significantly strengthened to prevent this happening,' she added.
LCH declined to comment. It is now in the process of being wound up, with most services passing to another NHS trust, MerseyCare, in April.

In a normal world, such a move should be routine,, standard practice, and de rigueur.
How on earth did we end up in a thoroughly abnormal climate where the standard treatment that's meted out to juniors on a daily basis…

FM discusses Kashmir issue with United Nations boss
Published January 16, 20202:36 pm
Posted by The Editor on January 16, 2020.
NEW YORK: Federal Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has held a comprehensive meeting on Kashmir with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in New York. He said India wasn't willing for bilateral negotiations over Kashmir issue.
"Pakistan is sincere for the bilateral talks on Kashmir however India is backtracking," said the minister, talking to media after meeting with the UN boss.
Qureshi said he brought under discussion different other issues, including Ehsaas Programme, in a meeting with UN General Assembly (UNGA) President Tijjani Muhammad-Bande.
The minister said he had thanked the security council's president for highlighting the Kashmir issue in the council's meeting as lockdown slapped on the Himalayan territory has passed nearly five months since.
"It's the second time in five months that the security council discussed the Kashmir issue," he said.
"I apprised the UN secretary-general of the Pakistan efforts in de-escalating the tension simmering in the Middle East. I briefed him about the progress of my recent visits to KSA and Iran," he said.
After landing in New York, he told the media, "Pakistan is doing what it can to de-escalate the situation between Iran and the US." said Qureshi, talking to media. He said his visits to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Iran had gone quite well.
In the backdrop of Middle East tensions following the US killing of Iranian commander Qasem Soleimani and subsequent retaliation by Iran, Prime Minister Imran Khan deputed the foreign minister to visit Iran, Saudi Arabia and the United States and meet with respective foreign ministers, and the US secretary of state.
Earlier today, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi reached the United States at a time when the United Nations Security Council is seized with a closed-door meeting on Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK).
Earlier, UN Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric had confirmed the UN chief's meeting with the foreign minister, saying it was taking place at Pakistan's request.
After meeting with UN officials, the foreign minister will then head to Washington where he will meet Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, National Security Advisor Robert O' Brian and other senior US administration officials. He will also have meetings in the Capitol Hill, besides engagements with the media, policy think tanks and the Pakistani diaspora.
Qureshi, in his talks with the US leadership, will focus on Pakistan's diplomatic outreach, which has been undertaken on the direction of Prime Minister Imran Khan, in the wake of the recent tensions in the Middle East.
With an aim to find out peaceful solution of the conflict between US and Iran, Foreign Minister Qureshi has already visited Iran and Saudi Arabia, where he held comprehensive meetings with the two countries' leaders.

Cyclone Vayu poised to hit India as year's 2nd major storm
NEW DELHI (AP) - Indian authorities evacuated tens of thousands of people on Wednesday as a severe cyclone in the Arabian Sea approached the western state of Gujarat, lashing the coast with high winds and heavy rainfall.
Cyclone Vayu, named after the Hindi word for wind, was poised to hit the Gujarat coast early Thursday as India's second major storm of the season. Winds gusting up to 170 kilometers (106 miles) per hour were forecast and a storm surge up to 2 meters (6.5 feet) above astronomical tides, which would inundate low-lying areas, according to the India Meteorological Department.
K. Sathi Devi, the New Delhi-based government scientist in charge of monitoring the cyclone, said a low pressure system over the ocean was causing water to "get piled up." When the storm makes landfall, so will the accumulated sea water, she said, threatening to flood roads and uproot trees, contaminate drinking water supplies, and disrupt communications and power supplies.
In the ancient city of Dwarka, where many Hindu pilgrims travel every year to pray at a temple considered the center of Lord Krishna's kingdom, a rescue worker from India's National Disaster Response Force warned children to leave the beach.
After India's home minister, Amit Shah, held a meeting Tuesday with government and military officials, the air force airlifted 40 National Disaster Response Force rescue and relief teams to the western coast.
Both Shah and Prime Minister Narendra Modi hail from Gujarat.

Indian authorities were bracing Wednesday for a severe cyclone gathering strength in the Arabian Sea that was expected to make landfall in the western state of Gujarat as India's second major storm of the season. In India's financial capital of Mumbai, police tweeted that because of the high winds, heavy rainfall and lightning expected from Vayu, people "should not venture into sea and should keep safe distance from shoreline."

Modi said on Twitter that he had "been constantly in touch with state governments" and that he was "praying for the safety and wellbeing" of all those affected.
By midday, rescue team had begun evacuating more than a quarter of a million people in towns and villages likely to bear the brunt of the storm.
The scale of the possible damage when Vayu makes landfall wasn't immediately clear, but authorities appeared to have taken some cues from Cyclone Fani, which hit India's eastern coast on the Bay of Bengal in May, killing 34 people in India and 15 in neighboring Bangladesh.
Authorities in the eastern state of Odisha, where Fani made landfall, were praised for precautionary measures - including evacuating more than a million people - that likely prevented a much higher death toll.
In India's financial capital of Mumbai, police tweeted that because of the high winds, heavy rainfall and lightning expected from Vayu, people "should not venture into sea and should keep safe distance from shoreline."
Gujarat's chief minister, Vijay Rupani, requested on social media that tourists leave coastal areas by Wednesday afternoon.

Q: Celery worker which directory to start from I need some help regarding Celery workers. I'm especially not able to understand where (which directory) does the celery worker command needs to be fired from and what is the concept behind it and some things around imports.
So say I have the following directory structure :
.
├── __init__.py
├── entry.py
├── state1
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── family1
│   │   ├── __init__.py
│   │   ├── task1.py
│   │   ├── task2.py
│   │   └── task3.py
│   └── family2
│       ├── __init__.py
│       └── task1.py
└── state2
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── family1
    │   ├── __init__.py
    │   ├── task1.py
    │   └── task2.py
    └── family2
        ├── __init__.py
        ├── task1.py
        └── task2.py

. at the root is the current working directory, named project
each of the taskn.py (task1.py, task2.py etc) are the individual tasks. Each task file looks something like this:
from celery import Celery
from celery.result import AsyncResult
from kombu import Queue

_name_ = "project_x"
celapp=Celery(backend='redis://localhost:6379/0', broker='amqp://a:b@localhost/a_vhost')
CELERY_CONFIG = {
    'CELERY_DEFAULT_QUEUE': 'default',
    'CELERY_QUEUES': (Queue('q1'), Queue('q2'),),
    'CELERY_TASK_SERIALIZER': 'pickle',
    'CELERY_ACCEPT_CONTENT': ['json','pickle']
}

celapp.conf.update(**CELERY_CONFIG)

@celapp.task()
def t1():
    print("starting task")
    time.sleep(5)
    print("Finished task")

The below is the content of entry.py:
import json
from flask_cors import CORS
from flask import Flask, Response, render_template
from flask import request, jsonify, redirect
from functools import wraps
<what would be the import statement to import all the tasks>

_name_ = "project_x"
app     = Flask(_name_)

@app.route("/api1", methods=['POST'])
def api1():
    req = request.jsonify
    if not req:
        return jsonify(success=False, msg="Missing request parameters", code="1")
    else:
        param1 = req.get('p1')
        param2 = req.get('p2')
        tId = startTask()
        return jsonify(success="True", msg="All Good", taskId=tId)

def startTask():
    tId = "abcd123"
    created_task = state1.family1.task1.subtask(queue='q1')
    created_task.delay()
    return tId

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run(debug=True, host="192.168.1.7", port="4444")

the entry.py is the flask app from where api1 would be triggered and then depending on the parameters I would want to start a specific task.
Now here are my questions:

*

*what would be the import statement to import all the tasks in the entry.py file

*where from do I start the worker. I mean from which directory should I start the Celery -A <directory name> worker -l info command and why ?

*In many examples I saw that there is a clear segregation between tasks and CeleryApp file. Could someone please suggest what would be a better way to arrange my tasks, and celery configs etc. and how would the above 2 questions align with this new proposed structure ?

A: Ok, hope this might help. I will respond in reverse as you asked.

In many examples I saw that there is a clear segregation between tasks
  and CeleryApp file. Could someone please suggest what would be a
  better way to arrange my tasks, and celery configs etc. and how would
  the above 2 questions align with this new proposed structure ?

The first problem that i see with the snippets you add, its every taskn.py that you have, has his own instance of celery. You need to share this instance between every taskn.py.
What i recommend is create a celery_app.py
my_app
├── __init__.py
├── entry.py
├── celery_app.py
│   ├── ...

In this file you will create the celery instance
from celery import Celery
from celery.result import AsyncResult
from kombu import Queue

_name_ = "project_x"
celapp=Celery(backend='redis://localhost:6379/0', broker='amqp://a:b@localhost/a_vhost')
CELERY_CONFIG = {
    'CELERY_DEFAULT_QUEUE': 'default',
    'CELERY_QUEUES': (Queue('q1'), Queue('q2'),),
    'CELERY_TASK_SERIALIZER': 'pickle',
    'CELERY_ACCEPT_CONTENT': ['json','pickle']
}

celapp.conf.update(**CELERY_CONFIG)
celery_app.conf.imports = [
    'state1.family1.task1',
    'my_app.state1.family1.task2',  # Or Maybe
    ...
]

Then in every taskn.py you can import this instance, and every task will be registered under the same celery application
from my_app.celery_app import celapp

@celapp.task()
def t1():
    print("starting task")
    time.sleep(5)
    print("Finished task")

where from do I start the worker. I mean from which directory should I
  start the Celery -A  worker -l info command and why ?

Then you should easily call Celery -A my_app.celery_app worker -l info because your celery instance will be in the module my_app, submodule celery_app

what would be the import statement to import all the tasks in the entry.py

Finally from entry.py you can do import state1.family1.task1 import t1 and call for t1.delay() or any registered task.

A: So taking the advice from @Patricio, it seemed that it was indeed an import error. My new directory structure looks like the below:
.
├── __init__.py
├── celeryConfig
│   ├── __init__.py
│   └── celeryApp.py
├── entry.py
├── state1
│   ├── __init__.py
│   ├── family1
│   │   ├── __init__.py
│   │   ├── task1.py
│   │   ├── task2.py
│   │   └── task3.py
│   └── family2
│       ├── __init__.py
│       └── task1.py
└── state2
    ├── __init__.py
    ├── family1
    │   ├── __init__.py
    │   ├── task1.py
    │   └── task2.py
    └── family2
        ├── __init__.py
        ├── task1.py
        └── task2.py

while contents of the celeryConfig/celeryApp.py are the below:
from celery import Celery
from celery.result import AsyncResult
from kombu import Queue

_name_ = "project_x"
celapp=Celery(backend='redis://localhost:6379/0', broker='amqp://a:b@localhost/a_vhost', include=['state1.family1.task1'])
CELERY_CONFIG = {
    'CELERY_DEFAULT_QUEUE': 'default',
    'CELERY_QUEUES': (Queue('q1'), Queue('q2'),),
    'CELERY_TASK_SERIALIZER': 'pickle',
    'CELERY_ACCEPT_CONTENT': ['json','pickle']
}

celapp.conf.update(**CELERY_CONFIG)

and the contents of taskn.py is something like:
from celeryConfig.celeryApp import celapp
import time

@celapp.task()
def t1():
    print("starting task")
    time.sleep(5)
    print("Finished task")

while entry.py remains as it is, with just one change as below:
from state1.family1.task1 import t1
And now when celery is started as :
celery -A celeryConfig.celeryApp worker -l info from the root directory, project, it all runs fine. As output of the above command I get the message as
.
.
.
[tasks]
  . state1.family1.task1.t1

.
.
.

indicating that the celery has started correctly and that the task has indeed been registered. So now, in order to get all the tasks registered I can read through the directory/directories and create the include list in celeryApp.py dynamically. (Will post more about it once done)
Thanks @Patricio

I joined Young Living on September 27, 2017. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I thought I was just purchasing a membership to have access to essential oils to support things about my health that I didn't like and that was it. I was so wrong. I had no idea about the rest of the products they sold. Personal Care. Infant and Children Products. Nutritional Products. Make Up. Men's Products. Animal Products, the list goes on. I order a few things each month and little by little I'm reading, learning from others and eliminating products in my home and products that I put on my body that are loaded with scary chemicals. I feel better for it and I want to lead you to the same kind of lifestyle; and investment in your health. Young Living has supported my health in ways that I never imagined. Give it a try.


Big Oil Backing Off of Climate Denial?
It takes a lot of cash to maintain that peculiar style of balance portrayed in mainstream news coverage: that despite the fact that 97-98% of climate scientists accept the basic climate change consensus, to be fair we must give equal time to both sides to "debate the controversy." In recent years, the world's largest oil companies and allied interest groups, such as the American Petroleum Institute, have provided a lot of the funding for groups devoted to "climate skepticism." Those groups in turn promote the ideas of the remaining 2-3% of climate scientists (along with anyone else in the public eye, such as TV weather forecasters), from funding their research programs to ensuring their voices are heard frequently and loudly.
One of Plumer's topics in particular is worth commenting on: The apparent diminishing interest from big oil corporations, in particular ExxonMobil, in supporting these groups. As documented in a 2005 exposé, forty groups (including the Heartland Institute) working to promote the "skeptical" viewpoint received substantial funding from ExxonMobil. In 2011, though, Heartland received no money at all from ExxonMobil or any other major oil company. Even the Koch Charitable Foundation, historically a very important source of funding for climate denial, specifically earmarked its 2011 donation for a separate program unrelated to climate change.

Thru 3: Martis really shaky
← return to Chatter
By Mark Zuckerman The Washington Times - June 21, 2009, 02:47PM
You know that really impressive streak of starting pitching the Nats have been getting? The one that includes a 2.99 ERA since June 1? Well, it was nice while it lasted.
Shairon Martis is single-handedly blowing that stat up this afternoon with his ugliest performance of the season. The rookie right-hander allowed four runs in the first (even the outs he recorded were on hard-hit balls), another in the second and then just served up a towering homer to Lyle Overbay in the third.
His line so far: three innings, six runs, seven hits, two walks, one strikeout and a hit batter. He needed 38 pitches to get through the first inning and is currently sitting on 64. Not the kind of pitching performance we've come to expect out of Washington's young rotation.
It does, however, beg a question. We've been speculating for a while now who will be sent down to Syracuse when Scott Olsen comes off the DL. The common choices have been either Ross Detwiler or Craig Stammen. Well, perhaps the Nats need to consider Martis. Yes, he leads the staff with five wins. But his last victory came on May 14. Since then, his ERA is 6.57 (and that includes three pretty solid outings this month).
As for today's game, the Nats are trying to claw back. Alberto Gonzalez singled, Willie Harris (who else?) doubled and Josh Bard drove both in with a second-inning single. So far, though, that's it. The Blue Jays lead 6-2, on a windy but gorgeous Father's Day.

The Ametek / Xantrex / Soresen series of power supplies provides low noise, precisely regulated, variable DC output at 2800 watts of output power. Over voltage protection (OVP) and thermal shutdown are standard. Front panel controls and indicators are extensive. Remote monitoring of output voltage and current is a standard feature. Use this power supply either on your bench or in a standard 19 in. (483 mm) rack: the unit occupies only 3.5 in. (2 U) of vertical rack space. Designed for continuous use in standalone or systems applications, this power supply is typically used to power DC equipment, control magnets, or burn in components.


By Julie Murphree, Arizona Farm Bureau Communication Director: Arizona families and consumers in general should see ample supplies of their favorite meats in 2017. Brisk demand will keep prices from falling too much further though producers of cattle and hogs have seen supply drive prices.
Those were major points made by Dr. Karl Skold, head of agricultural economics at JBS, at a workshop at the American Farm Bureau Federation's 2017 Annual Convention & IDEAg Trade Show in Phoenix earlier this month. Skold said a historically unusual situation of expanding herds, growing supply and significant demand is driving an overall positive outlook for producers of beef and pork.
In Arizona, Arizona Farm Bureau's fourth quarter food marketbasket showed another decline in prices overall and especially in the meat section of the food basket. The informal survey showed the total cost of 16 basic grocery items was $47.07, down $1.65 or about 3 percent less than the third quarter of 2016.
Compared to Arizona's December 2015 fourth quarter survey total of $51.15, the 2016 fourth quarter Marketbasket survey showed that Arizona's food prices have decreased about 8 percent year-to-year. The lowest price survey in nine years was the fourth quarter survey in 2010 at $45.44.
Livestock economists are seeing a big jump in eating meat including a shift to steaks because prices are so good for the consumer at the retail meat counter.
"Start with lower feed costs," Skold said, "And the economy continues to improve. We are nearing full employment and wages are picking up." Skold said these trends are showing up in how consumers are making meat choices.
This is encouraging news for cattle producers who have seen steep declines in cattle prices from record-highs only a year ago.
The situation with pork is similar, Skold said, and pork has been profitable until a fourth quarter drop last year. Per capita pork consumption has been stuck in the neighborhood of 50 pounds per person for some time. Pork is more dependent on the export market.
Skold also said that per capita consumption over all meats, including chicken, is going up, tracking lower prices, but beef is gaining favor again with the ample supplies. The economist said that surveying retailers revealed that they had not priced steak as low in the last quarter of 2016 in six years.
"You go to the meat case and you see $5.99 steaks, you're going to buy them," he said. "You see $9.99, we're going to feed the Johnson's coming over chicken." But Skold said, the prices are spurring significant increases in demand.
Skold said exports would be a huge factor in continuing health for the livestock sector. There are what he called "headwinds," starting with a strong U.S. dollar against most other currencies.
Skold says Arizona families should see many opportunities to stock up on beef and pork as huge supplies will encourage demand. "Consumers have really returned and are eating more meat," he said.

We will write a custom Research Paper on Google Trends Analysis of Childhood Obesity specifically for you
The problem of obesity in the United States is massively researched by scholars and is deemed to be one of the most serious health-related issues for all groups of people. Moreover, obesity among children and adolescents is a highly debatable concern that often becomes the center of attention for activists, policymakers, and government officials. Under the influence of these individuals, who can also be called claims-makers, people may want to find more about this topic. They turn to the fastest and easiest way of finding information – Google Search. Thus, by analyzing a simple search phrase such as "child obesity" on Google Trends, one may see a pattern that shows the points in time where people were most concerned about the topic.
The issue of child obesity often becomes researched on the Internet during the dates of presidential elections, the announcements of new tax reforms, and federal regulation changes which may be explained by the political debate around children's health. The overall decline may also pertain to the governmental interest in the issue. The influence of Michelle Obama and other expert claims-makers has reduced during the period from 2013 to 2018 which may be an outcome of the discontinued program Let's Move! and the end of Obama's presidency.
Obesity in children and adolescents is an issue that is followed by many health-related and social problems for children, their parents, and the community as a whole (Ogden et al., 2016). The conversation about childhood obesity often entails other discussions such as the economic state of the country and its access to healthy foods, the issue of marketing and food industries, and the lack of physical activity (Lobstein et al., 2015). The research on the topic of rising obesity is often covered in media which also impacts the way people view the situation. The social problem discussed in this paper bases its observations on the search phrase "child obesity."
Figure 1. Search results of the phrase "child obesity" (Google Trends, 2018).
Google Trends gathers information from people's searches in Google and collects them to reveal a statistic of used phrases and words. Thus, a graph is shown above, for example shows how many times Google Search users have entered the phrase "child obesity" in the past five years. It is important to remember that these searches may have had different reasons behind them. While some users may have used Google search for their research purposes, others could have found, seen, or heard this term elsewhere and decided to find more information about it.
Therefore, Google Trends may represent a general idea of what was discussed or mentioned in the media during the surges in the number of search inquiries. As a contrast, the lower points may show the periods when people did not consider these issues as much. Similarly, overall declines and increases may signify a general public's concern.
As it is shown in Figure 1, the interest in child obesity had decreased considerably over the past five years. Moreover, the pattern indicates that people were most interested in researching the topic of obesity in April and November of almost every year in the period from 2013 to 2017. While the chart shows extremely inconsistent results about people's interest, one may notice an overall fall in the number of searches.
As can be observed in Figure 1, there are some significant points where the number of searches increases significantly. Almost all of these points fall on such dates as the middle of April and November. Interestingly, every year has nearly similar periods of increased interest in childhood obesity. Thus, it is possible to suspect that these points in time may be correlated with some impactful events.
One of the arguments that may explain the surge of inquiries in November is that this is the month of the most heated political debates. For example, according to Confessore (2014), the discussion of school lunches and the proposed regulations made by the President and his team affected the state of the debate between lunch makers, food companies, and advocates. Thus, the surge in the fall of 2014 may be explained by this problem appearing in the media.
Similarly, the increasing searches in the spring of 2013, one of the highest points on the graph, may be attributed to the discussion of the soda tax (Confessore, 2013). The soda tax problem that involved such influential claims-makers as the President and the First Lady, Barack and Michelle Obama, also featured various researchers and lobbyists. The soda tax is connected with the issue of child obesity in most of these articles and is also often mentioned in the context of changing school lunches. Thus, the previously mentioned initiative to make meals healthier plays a role in this search increase.
People seem to make claims that differ from one article to another. First of all, government officials and the First Lady herself stated that the rate of obesity among children and adolescents was continuously rising due to unhealthy behaviors and unregulated markets. Thus, it should be mitigated by increasing children's physical activity, improving their school lunches, and changing their eating habits (Let's Move!, 2010).
Second, some researchers supported this rhetoric and confirmed the claim with their studies (Confessore, 2014). On the other hand, various lobbyists, bottlers, and food companies opposed the soda tax and presented a claim that taxes were not connected to obesity and were discriminatory. Notably, such claims were also supported by institutes, communities, and advocacy organizations protecting the rights of minorities (Confessore, 2013).
Therefore, some influential claims-makers can be outlined for this social problem. One of the central advocates and officials is Michelle Obama who declared child obesity as one of the most pressing issues in the US. Researchers exploring the connection between child obesity, eating habits, and school lunches' regulations are another expert claims-maker in this case. Finally, advocacy groups and lobbyists make up a group of claims-makers as well.
It may be suggested that the problems highlighted by Michelle Obama were effective in drawing the attention of the public because of their controversial nature. Her approach to solving child obesity was straightforward and determined which caused a response from other parties. Such a push for an open discussion of obesity raised the interest of the public. Obama also presented people with case examples and concrete numbers that possibly affected the level of interest (Let's Move!, 2010). In turn, companies have utilized their resources and called for the support of activist groups which are usually very active on media platforms. Therefore, the time of elections and political debates became the most important for discussing the problem to make the public either support or oppose new tax cuts and changes in regulations.
Here, claims-makers from both sides had vast resources to attract attention to their side of the debate. Obama had political power and status, while soda companies had financial resources to engage other activists and gain more support. Michelle Obama used studies and presented many examples from individual cases. Companies adhered to the usage of cultural resources, employing the notions of personal freedom and non-discrimination. They also relied on personal responsibility, while Obama mostly used scientific grounds for her arguments. It is possible that the effect of soda companies' claims was more effective because it appealed to the public's sense of independence and a negative view of taxes.

The decline in searches may be linked to the end of Barack Obama's presidency which also limited the presence of Michelle Obama in the government (Dewey, 2016). Therefore, her activism became less recognizable, having lost the previous status and accessible resources. Trump's administration focused on different problems, leaving the anti-obesity initiative behind (Green, & Hirschfeld, 2017). Thus, while the number of searches still increased near the dates of political debates, the popularity of the topic was not as high due to the lack of new media coverage.
Society may not treat claims on child obesity supported by research as more valid than statements rooted in national and cultural principles. Although Michelle Obama's claims had viable grounds, the appeal of the contrary opinion may not have allowed her to be more successful in her advocacy. The number of inquiries surrounding this topic may be correlated to some other incidents, such as health concerns in schools or parents' desire to change their children's lifestyles.
However, the political angle can show the dependence of people's opinions on the activity of government officials and lobbying groups. The increasing activity of lobbyists may have been more effective than Obama's propositions because of its strong cultural foundation. This statistic of searches may be interpreted as people's strong opposition to taxation and regulation.
