U.S.-based organizations are budgeting $1.77M for cloud spending in 2017 compared to $1.30M for non-U.S. based organizations.
10% of enterprises with over 1,000 employees are projecting they will spend $10M or more on cloud computing apps and platforms throughout this year.
Organizations are using multiple cloud models to meet their business's needs, including private (62%), public (60%), and hybrid (26%).
By 2018 the typical IT department will have the minority of their apps and platforms (40%) residing in on-premise systems.
These and many other insights are from IDG's Enterprise Cloud Computing Survey, 2016. You can find the 2016 Cloud Computing Executive Summary here and a presentation of the results here. The study's methodology is based on interviews with respondents who are reporting they are involved with cloud planning and management across their organizations. The sampling frame includes audiences across six IDG Enterprise brands (CIO, Computerworld, CSO, InfoWorld, ITworld and Network World) representing IT and security decision-makers across eight industries. The survey was fielded online with the objective of understanding organizational adoption, use-cases, and solution needs for cloud computing. A total of 925 respondents were interviewed to complete the study.
The cloud is the new normal for enterprise apps, with 70% of all organizations having at least one app in the cloud today. 75% of enterprises with greater than 1,000 employees have at least one app or platform running in the cloud today, leading all categories of adoption measured in the survey. 90% of all organizations today either have apps running in the cloud are planning to use cloud apps in the next 12 months, or within 1 to 3 years. The cloud has won the enterprise and will continue to see the variety and breadth of apps adopted accelerating in 2017 and beyond.
Business/data analytics and data storage/data management (both 43%) are projected to lead cloud adoption in 2017 and beyond. 22% of organizations surveyed are predicting that business/data analytics will be the leading cloud application area they will migrate to in the next twelve months. 21% are predicting data storage/data management apps are a high priority area for their organizations' cloud migration plans in 2017. Three of the market leaders in analytics are Tableau, QlikView and Microsoft Power BI. They are analyzed in this recent post from SelectHub, accessible here.
28% of organizations' total IT budgets is dedicated to cloud computing next year. Of that, 45% is allocated to SaaS, 30% to IaaS and 19% to PaaS. The average investment organizations will make in cloud computing next year is $1.62M, with enterprises over 1,000 employees projected to spend $3.03M. The average investment in cloud computing remains constant in organizations with $1.62M invested in 2014, $1.56M in 2015 and $1.62M in 2016. 10% of enterprises with over 1,000 employees are projecting they will spend $10M or more on cloud computing apps and platforms throughout this year.
CIOs, IT architects and IT networking/management control cloud spending in the enterprise. In contrast, CEOs, CIOs, and CFOs are driving small and medium business (SMB) cloud spending this year. The following graphic compares how influential the following groups and individuals are in the cloud computing purchase process.
Just 46% of organizations are using Application Programmer Interfaces (APIs) to integrate with databases, messaging systems, portals or storage components. 40% are using them for creating connections to the application layer of their cloud and the underlying IT infrastructures. The following graphic provides insights into how APIs are being used and which teams see the most value in them.
In 18 months the majority of organizations' IT infrastructures will be entirely cloud-based. IDG found that in 18 months nearly one-third (28%) of all organizations interviewed will be relying on private clouds as part of their IT infrastructure. Just over a fifth (22%) will have public cloud as part of their IT infrastructure, and 10% will be using hybrid By 2018 the typical IT department will have the minority of their apps and platforms (40%) residing in on-premise systems.
Concerns about where data is stored (43%), cloud security (41%) and vendor lock-in (21%) are the top three challenges organizations face when adopting public cloud technologies. Private and hybrid cloud adoption in organizations is also facing the challenges of cloud security and vendor lock-in. Private and hybrid cloud adoption are being slowed by a lack of the right skill sets to manage and gain the maximum value from cloud investments.
Deutsche Bank estimates Google Cloud Platform (GCP) has a $750M revenue run-rate estimate today.
The combined revenues of AWS, Microsoft Azure, and GCP are still less than $15B for a market penetration of just 1%-2% of the Total Available Market (TAM).
During the 2Q16 call, Google called out Cloud as the primary driver of the re-accelerating growth for Licensing and Other revenue, the first time the business has been called out in pole position.
Recent Orbitera and Apigee acquisitions underscore Google's new focus and aggressiveness to grow GCP. Google has spent $1B+ on Cloud M&A over the past 12 months.
Deutsche Bank predicts GCP is preparing a series of new product announcements in September to strengthen their customer-facing roadmap further.
These and other insights are from Deutsche Bank Markets Research study, Google Getting More Aggressive In The Cloud, (client access) published 8 September 2016 by Ross Sandler Karl Keirstead, Deepak Mathivanan, Aki Aggarwal and Taylor McGinnis. Deutsche Bank found that Google is investing heavier in the cloud, making a financial commitment with over $1B in acquisitions in the past year including the recent Apigee deal. The study is based on interviews Deutsche Bank contacted with channel partners, prospects, partners, and customers. Despite the renewed focus on growth, Deutsche Bank predicts that GCP would continue to trail AWS and Microsoft Azure for the foreseeable future.
Deutsche Bank defines the Total Available Market (TAM) enterprise IT spend in nine categories that together account for over a $1T TAM. Deutsche Bank defines the Enterprise IT spending market by combining storage, network equipment, infrastructure software, IT outsourcing and support, data management software, BI/analytics, application software and consulting Deutsche Bank sees AWS make significant progress across a wide spectrum of their taxonomy categories.
GCP new product launches are concentrating on machine learning, data analytics and security, including data encryption and identity and access management. Google's aggressiveness regarding the cloud is most visible from their new service announcements shown in the table below. Recent announcements include SQL Server Images, where customers can now natively spin up Microsoft database instances on GCP, akin to AWS RDS for SQL Server. GCP also announced a second generation version of Cloud SQL, its cloud-hosted alternative to MySQL and AWS Aurora. While all of these announcements provide GCP with greater potential to compete against AWS and Microsoft Azure, Google's two larger competitors have formidable momentum in enterprises.
Aggressive build-out of global infrastructure locations continues. Google announced during their 4Q15 earnings call they would build 12 new regions in 2016 and 2017. Of the 12 new planned GCP regions, the US Western region in Oregon opened in July 2016, and Google has said that the new Tokyo region will be available later this year, leaving ten more regions to be added in 2017.
Google continues to believe in the importance of machine learning and artificial intelligence. Deutsche Bank interviews with GCP customers confirmed interest in using machine learning and artificial intelligence on the Cloud. Customers also perceive GCP is well ahead of AWS and Azure in this regard.
Google is quickly hiring enterprise sales reps in an attempt to close the sales gap between themselves and AWS & Microsoft Azure. Deutsche Bank found that Google has been "hiring very aggressively" to scale its enterprise sales rep capacity and also retrofitting existing sales reps from elsewhere in Google into GCP.
GCP is gaining share rapidly within the startup community. Deutsche Bank spoke with customers who estimated that 25% startups are using GCP today (with 75% on AWS), while another estimated the ratio to be 20%/80%. While both agreed that a couple of years ago only 10% of startups were using GCP (with 90% using AWS). During the GCP NEXT Asia-Pacific keynote earlier this month Google disclosed that Snapchat "is one of our largest customers," making up to 2 million queries per second and consuming more Google bandwidth than any other organization except for YouTube.
Recent Orbitera and Apigee acquisitions underscore Google's new focus and aggressiveness to grow GCP. Last month Google acquired Orbitera, a small cloud commerce platform. Orbitera simplifies the buying and selling of cloud-based software by providing vendors with packaging and provisioning, billing, and marketplace solutions on AWS and Azure. Earlier this month Google acquired Apigee for $625M, which is 5.2x Apigee's FY17e revenues of $120M. Apigee is expected to grow by 30%-35% in The company focuses on larger enterprises (Walgreens, Nike, Target, AT&T) and despite an ongoing mix shift to the cloud or SaaS model, it still has a legacy on-premise license/maintenance business.
Boston Consulting Group (BCG) recently released their fifth annual technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) value report. The 2013 TMT Value Creators Report: The Great Software Transformation, How to Win as Technology Changes the World (free, opt-in required, 41 pgs).
The five trends that serve as the foundation of this report include the increasing pervasiveness of software, affordable small devices, ubiquitous broadband connectivity, big-data analytics and cloud computing. BCG's analysis illustrates how the majority of TMT companies that deliver the most value to shareholders are concentrating on the explosive growth of new markets, the rise of software-enabled digital metasystems, and for many, both.
The study is based on an analysis of 191 companies, 76 in the technology industry, 62 from media and 53 from telecom. To review the methodology of this study please see page 28 of the report.
BCG is predicting 1B smartphones will be sold in 2013, the first year their sales will have exceeded those of features phones. By 2018, there will be more than 5B "post-PC" products (tablets & smartphones) in circulation. There are nearly as many mobile connections in the world as people (6.8B) according to the United Nation's International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
27 terabytes of data is generated every second through the creation of video, images social networks, transactional and enterprise-based systems and networks. 90% of the data that is stored today didn't exist two years ago, and the annual data growth rate in future years is projected to be 40% to 60% over current levels according to BCG's analysis.
The ascent of communications speeds is surpassing Moore's Law as a structural driver of growth. BCG completed the following analysis graphing the progression of microprocessor transition count (Moore's Law) relative to Internet speed (bps) citing Butter's Law of Photonics which states that the amount of data coming out of an optical fiber is doubling every nine months. BCG states that these dynamics are democratizing information technology and will lead to the cloud computing industry (software and services) reaching nearly $250B in 2017.
BCG predicts that India will see a fivefold increase in digitally-influenced spending, ascending from $30B in 2012 to $150B in 2016, among the fastest of all nations globally according to their study. India will also see the value of online purchases increase from $8B in 2012 t5o $50B in 2016.
3D printing is forecast to become a $3.1B market by 2016, and will have an economic impact of $550B in 2025, fueling rapid price reductions in 3D printers through 2017. BCG sees 3D printing, connected travel, genomics and smart grid technologies are central to their digital metasystem. The following graphic illustrates the key trends in each of these areas along with research findings from BCG and other sources.
Only 7% of customers are comfortable with their information being used outside of the purpose for which it was originally gathered.
BCG reports that mobile infrastructure investments in Europe have fallen 67% from 2004 to 2014. Less than 1% of mobile connections in Europe were 4B as of the end of 2012, compared to 11% in the U.S. and 28% in South Korea. European operators have also been challenged to monetize mobile data as well, as the following figures illustrate.
Big Data is attracting $19B in funding across five key areas according to BCG's analysis. These include consumer data and marketing, enterprise data, analytical tools, vertical markets and data platforms. A graphical analysis of these investments is shown below.

Spores of certain species belonging to Firmicutes are efficiently germinated by nutrient germinators, such as amino acids, in addition to bile acid. We attempted to culture difficult-to-culture or yet-to-be cultured spore-forming intestinal bacteria, using a combination of bile acids and amino acids. The combination increased the number of colonies that formed on agar medium plated with ethanol-treated feces. The operational taxonomic units of these colonized bacteria were classified into two types. One type was colonized only by the bile acid (BA) mixture and the other type was colonized using amino acids, in addition to the BA mixture. The latter contained 13 species, in addition to 14 species of the former type, which mostly corresponds to anaerobic difficult-to-culture Clostridiales species, including several new species candidates. The use of a combination of BAs and amino acids effectively increased the culturability of spore-forming intestinal bacteria.

by Anne Marie McDonnell, Ph.D.
When Pope Paul VI presciently proclaimed that the smoke of Satan had entered the Church, little did most Catholics realize that the perfidious effect of embers smoldering for four decades would eventually explode with such an incendiary force. Once humanistic psychology and philosophy began to incrementally infiltrate our Catholic institutions of learning, Magisterial teaching essentially became sabotaged and ultimately replaced by ideologies in complete contradistinction to Church doctrine. The infiltration of secular humanism into Catholic education at all levels has become increasingly common since Vatican II because so many of the Second Vatican's teachings have been misconstrued, misinterpreted, and misrepresented by those who would like to deconstruct and reconstruct Church teaching. After decades of allowing this sinful syncretism to perpetuate, the deleterious and reprehensible effects are finally starting to become acknowledged, recognized, and addressed by the shepherds of the Catholic Church in America.
This integration of secularism with Catholicism is exemplified by the harmful influences exerted by two well-known psychologists, Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers, who initially gained particular prominence within certain Catholic circles during the sixties. According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, self-actualization is of paramount importance for an individual's sense of fulfillment. Among certain sectors of the purportedly Catholic academia, this type of ideology has often assumed more significance, acceptance, and credibility than Christ's Sermon on the Mount. The teachings of Christ focus on self-denial as one of the primary means of reaching one's ultimate destiny, which is eternal salvation. Roger's nondirective therapy emphasizes self-empowerment by encouraging individuals to center exclusively on their own inner desires, which often means rebelling against any type of authority figure, frequently resulting in a genuine disobedience to all legitimate forms of authority. Of course, with respect to the Catholic Church, authority refers to papal primacy and Magisterial teaching.
It is interesting to note that both Maslow and Rogers repudiated their former teachings in the latter stages of their lives and distanced themselves from educational programs based on their theories and practices. Yet, these ideologies often continue to subtly pervade the classrooms of Catholic institutions at all educational levels, even including certain seminaries. William Coulson, a former associate of Carl Rogers, also now refers to himself as a repentant psychologist who has reformed his ways of thinking and continues to inform others about the dangers of secular humanist psychology. After initiating Rogerian nondirective therapy sessions with groups of nuns in the Immaculate Heart of Mary Order back in the late sixties, Coulson, a Catholic, witnessed the literal obliteration of the order within a year. Other orders of priests and nuns became infected with the same ideologies, and a mass exodus instantaneously ensued.
It is also interesting to observe the rebellious reactions of certain dissident bishops during the past decade as the Holy Father, John Paul II, asserts a very logical and reasonable principle in Ex Corde Ecclesiae, simply stating that authentic Catholic teaching should prevail in all Catholic colleges and universities. Meanwhile, thousands of young people are endangering the spiritual health of their souls by attending schools with Catholic names that promote anti-Catholic teachings. It is apparent that some so-called Catholic school administrators show more regard for political correctness than they do for truth in advertising laws.
It is therefore self-evident that the root of the problem concerning the immoral conduct among clergy members is not due to patriarchal oppression, celibacy, or rigid Church teaching, despite the mantra repeatedly spewed forth by the secular media. In fact, this scandalous behavior results from an acceptance of moral relativism and outright rejection of Catholic teaching within institutions that still outwardly claim to be Catholic. Learning to excuse and rationalize one's behavior in the interest of indulging one's own carnal desires requires that one also reject a healthy notion of guilt, shame, sin, and concupiscence. According to Michael Rose's new book, Goodbye! Good Men, this is exactly what has been happening in certain seminaries for the past few decades. Rose maintains that our vocations crisis has been artificially contrived by those who would like to change the very infrastructure of the Church by replacing it with some type of self-indulgent community that would primarily idolize itself.
With ample and substantive documentation, Rose chronicles how seminarians who are prayerful and loyal to the Magisterium have been considered "too rigid" in seminaries where heterodoxy prevails. Often, many of these potential candidates for the priesthood have been systematically subjected to psychological manipulation and sexual harassment, eventually being rejected as unworthy for consideration. Meanwhile, in far too many instances, those who have questioned or rejected the moral teaching of the Church have been retained and ultimately ordained as priests. Rose also strongly asserts that there are still some wonderful seminaries that provide a truly Catholic education to those who seek a holy life of service to God and others. Interestingly, the dioceses in which these seminaries are located traditionally have no shortage of vocations to the priesthood.
Now, we must remember that we are referring to far less than 1% of priests who have been involved in the scandalous conduct that has been recently reported. Nonetheless, we expect priests to be exceptional models of moral rectitude and even one occurrence of serious misconduct is unacceptable. We must truly pray for all priests and for all the victims of these horrific circumstances. Furthermore, we must pray for a restoration of authentic, orthodox teaching in our Catholic schools, parishes, seminaries, colleges, universities, and dioceses through our nation and world. Most importantly, we need to ask for God's mercy. Finally, we must remember that we have God's promise that the gates of hell will never prevail against the Church. Since it is divinely ordained, it is the only institution in the world that has survived for two thousand years. During those two thousand years, it has coped with every type of heresy and apostasy imaginable; with the help of the Lord, it will survive this crisis, too, and eventually emerge as a more unified, Spirit-filled Church.

Q: Generate one plot for each row of dataframe I'm working on this dataframe:
Col0 <- c("AA", "BB", "CC", "DD","EE","FF")
Col1 <- c(2,2,2,6,1,1)
Col2 <- c(2,2,2,1,3,4)
Col3 <- c(2,2,3,4,6,6)
Col4 <- c(2,2,3,1,2,1)
Col5 <- c(2,1,1,1,1,4)
Col6 <- c(2,4,2,5,4,4)
Col7 <- c(2,4,2,5,4,4)
Col8 <- c(2,2,3,4,5,4)
Col9 <- c(1,3,3,2,2,2)
df<-data.frame(Col0,Col1,Col2,Col3,Col4,Col5,Col6,Col7,Col8,Col9)

And I created a plot using ggplot2
Plot <- function(fun){

  df<-melt(fun,id =c("Col0"))
  colnames(df)[colnames(df) == 'value'] <- 'Val'
  colnames(df)[colnames(df) == 'variable'] <- 'Col_i'
  pl<- ggplot(df, aes(Col_i, Val, group=Col0)) + geom_line(aes(color=Col0))+theme(
    axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 90, hjust = 1))+ ggtitle(paste("Plot"))+  labs(color = "Letters")+ theme( panel.border = element_rect(colour = "black", fill=NA, size=1))
  print(pl)
}
Plotf <- Plot(df)

Starting from the assumption that the df can have n rows, I need to know how to print n graphs (one for each row) with only one function.

A: Transpose then plot with facet, see below:
library(tidyr)
library(dplyr)
library(ggplot2)

df %>%
  gather(Col, Val, -Col0) %>%
  ggplot(aes(Col, Val, group = Col0, col = Col0)) +
  geom_line() +
  facet_grid(Col0 ~ .)

To plot each group separately try this:
# split data for plotting
plotDat <- df %>%
  gather(Col, Val, -Col0)%>%
  split(Col0)

pdf("plots.pdf")
lapply(names(plotDat), function(i){
  ggplot(plotDat[[i]], aes(Col, Val, group = Col0, col = Col0)) +
    geom_line() +
    ggtitle(paste("Plot", i))
  })
dev.off()

The 25-year-old has been left out of the starting XI in each of United's last four matches, however, as Jose Mourinho's side struggle for consistency at the start of the season.
And Fred admits that he was always keeping a close eye on developments in England's top flight as a youngster, revealing that two former Arsenal stars were players he particularly admired.
"I always watched a lot of English football. It has always been really strong," he told United's official club website .
"I used to watch United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal, when Gilberto Silva used to play there. I have many idols like Gilberto, Thierry Henry, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes - many great players that have been here as well."
"I managed to do some classes in Ukraine but people there didn't really speak English," he added. "They spoke Russian so that's what I learned there.
"I didn't get to practice much English but now I'm here and I'm going to classes. I want to learn as quickly as possible because I know it will help me to integrate and adapt here.
"I already know a lot of sentences, many words - 'How are you?' - I know how to communicate. I'm studying, so hopefully I will be better in no time.
"My wife talks a lot with Fernandinho and Ederson's wives. For the players, the fixtures and training schedules are very different so we end up not having time.
"I hang out more with the United squad - Andreas Pereira and the players who speak Spanish. Even those who speak English. We meet after work to play video games and have dinner. It is important for the team. Paul Pogba, Andreas, Eric Bailly... we are close friends."

4. What's Your Dad Doin?
The Mudcakes swing effortlessly from the sounds of the tropics through to 70's funk, surf, classical and bluegrass in a delicious sonic mix that is food for ears young and old.
Nashville musicians Sherry Rich and Rick Plant would sneak out to the studio after putting their baby boy to bed, grab the kazoo, ukulele or banjo and get down to some serious silliness recording these original tunes that celebrate milestones in the first few years of a 'little monkey's life.
Influenced more by The Beatles and Frank Zappa than Walt Disney, the resulting music is alive and organic with some weird percussion and real sound effects that your kids will love. Track one 'Monkey Boy' may even boast the first ever harmonizing ukulele solo!
Check out titles like The Snot Song and Poo Party and you'll find a charming irreverance that is rare in todays kids CD's.
After being whipped into a frenzy by the first nine songs 'Bathtime' will help coax your little monkeys into the bubbles and then 'So Sleepy' and 'Dreamtime' will have them drooling on the pillow in no time. The last track introduces our funky rodent friend, Soul Mouse doing his best Al Green voice for 'Be Good To Your Mama'.
Titles from her extensive song catalogue have been used in motion picture soundtracks and recorded by major artists in Australia and the US. Go to www.sherryrich.com for more info.
Rick Plant attended the Berklee School of Music in his home town Boston, Mass. before moving to Nashville in the early 90's where he has been a respected member of the music scene working as guitarist and bass player for many fabulous folk ... Buddy and Julie Miller, Walter Hyatt, Allison Moorer, Radney Foster and Emmylou Harris to name but a few.
We hope you also enjoy the finger lickin' talent of guest artists Tammy Rogers (Reba McIntyre band) on fiddle, Byron House (Dixie Chicks) on stand up bass and Bryan Owings (Shelby Lynne band) on drums.
Fun for kids as well as mom & dad!
My baby loves to dance to it and my toddler learned the songs quickly and sings them all the time. I turn it on at our cranky part of the day to jazz things up, and it really works great! And I still laugh at how true the lyrics are! I guess we're not the only ones who call our kids monkeys!
Kids music even a cranky misanthrope can enjoy!
The Mudcakes CD is full of the kind of songs parents make up for their kids, rendered highly listenable by the musical talents of Sherry Rich and Rick Plant. Warm and melodic with lots of fun rhythms and sound effects - and a toilet training song you'll be glad to sing along with.
Excellent from start to finish. We enjoy every song - even after having played it a million times! Very highly recommended.
something YOU won't get sick of...wonderful!!!
This music is beautiful, and your kids will LOVE it! The songs' subjects will make parents laugh and sing out loud with the kids. You won't tire of hearing this CD over and over and over again! Also, you can use some of the age-appropriate songs as tools at bedtime, pottytime, and discipline-time. I HIGHLY recommend it as a delightful treat for your family's ears!
This is the best children's CD I have ever had the pleasure of listening to. We have many kid's CD's that we listen to (primarily in the car). They range from traditional pieces (Mulberry Bush, etc.) to Disney's Greatest Hits. Though my 3 year old enjoys them, none make him laugh like Monkey Boy. And, this is the only CD that he has totally memorized from start to finish. To quote him: Mommy, put in Monkey Boy!


Klemtu is an unincorporated community on Swindle Island in the coastal fjords of British Columbia, Canada. It is located on Kitasoo Indian Reserve No. 1.
Klemtu is the home of the Kitasoo tribe of Tsimshians, originally from Kitasu Bay, and the Xai'xais of Kynoch Inlet, a subgroup of the Heiltsuk people. These two tribes live together as, and are jointly governed by, the Kitasoo/Xai'xais Nation. Traditional languages spoken at Klemtu are the southern dialect of the Tsimshian language, called Southern Tsimshian, and Xaixais, a dialect of the Heiltsuk language. In religious affiliation, the community is dominated by the United Church of Canada.
The government of the Kitasoo/Xai'xais Nation is a member government of the Oweekeno-Kitasoo-Nuxalk Tribal Council.
The population of Klemtu in 1983 was 269. As of 2007[update] the population of Klemtu was 505.
An alternate older name for Klemtu is Kitasoo. it was also known as China Hat due to the shape of Cone Island, which protects it from the open water. The name Klemtu is from the Coast Tsimshian language "Klemdoo-oolk," meaning "impassable".
Around 1968 Sasquatch were reportedly seen by people from the village of Klemtu. Bigfoot researcher John Green and Bob Titmus visited Klemtu to investigate the sightings. Their findings indicated that the villagers rarely traveled inland. In older times there was only one trail on the island, across one end of it. The people went everywhere by boat, even hunting and trapping on the beaches, and told stories of apes in the islands. A Klemtu villager named Joe Hopkins reported seeing a Sasquatch on a clam beach. Others encountered Bigfoot when they hunted or fished. A crew of men from Klemtu who were building a dam on a lake above the village had seen tracks on a beach. The varying size of tracks indicated to John Green that a family of Sasquatch were present. This is the first report of a family of Sasquatch. The natives reported stories of the apes swimming from island to island. Sasquatch prints were also reported found in snow on the boardwalks of the unused bunkhouses behind Klemtu Cannery.
In late 2014 Survivorman Les Stroud did a special on Klemtu where he investigated Bigfoot. The special aired in April, 2015.

2018 Media releases
SNEPCo's Bonga hits 800 million barrels mark
In 13 years of deep-water exploration, the Bonga vessel of the Shell Nigeria Exploration and Production Company (SNEPCo) has produced over 800 million barrels of crude oil, confirming the company as a pacesetter in offshore oil and gas production in the Gulf of Guinea.
The SNEPCo Bonga Floating Production Storage and Offloading(FPSO) vessel
In its review of the performance of the Bonga Floating Production, Storage, and Offloading (FPSO) vessel for 2018, SNEPCo's Managing Director, Bayo Ojulari, expressed satisfaction with the consistent availability and optimal performance of the vessel which began operation at the Bonga field in OML 118 in 2005 under a production sharing contract with the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).
"We are relentless in our pursuit of excellence on all fronts, and this we have consistently demonstrated with the management of Bonga to the satisfaction of our government and co-venture partners," Ojulari said in Lagos on Monday.
"We leverage the Shell group's global expertise in technology and new advancements in the industry to continue to unlock Bonga's huge potential, one such example was the completion and inauguration of the Bonga North West Cross Over module in 2014, a first in the history of Shell which launched the beginning of a new phase delivering the reservoirs proven volumes and maintaining production of the FPSO at full capacity," the SNEPCo MD added.
According to Ojulari, SNEPCo, with the support of NNPC and the co-venture partners –Total E & P, Nigerian Agip Oil Company, and ExxonMobil –has also done so much for Nigeria and Nigerians in its years of operations in revenue and taxes accruable to the government, and social investments in education, sports and health across the country.
In the last three years, SNEPCo has spent over $3million yearly in scholarships and other intervention in schools across Nigeria including the popular NNPC/SNEPCo Cradle-to-Career scholarships for the six years of secondary school for children from rural areas. The scholarships with over 375 beneficiaries since its commencement in 2014, cover tuition, boarding and maintenance allowances in leading schools in select Nigerian cities.
Ojulari said, "Our health and education programmes are aimed at improving healthcare; bridging the educational opportunity gap between urban and rural school populations; providing educational grants; improving ICT education; and supporting displaced persons."
The Bonga Asset Operations Manager, Elohor Aiboni, described the FPSO as a jewel noting however that SNEPCo's achievements did not come without their challenges. "We overcome our challenges with the ingenuity and integrated delivery approach of our staff who work together every day to deliver one of the best assets in the world. "I'm proud to say that over 95 percent of SNEPCo's staff are Nigerians and they have distinguished themselves as some of the best in the industry within and outside Nigeria."
SNEPCo's resounding performance, Aiboni said, had been delivered with zero fatality since first oil. "In 2016 the team also won the Shell CEO HSE Award for disciplined and focused safety culture."
In recognition of its pioneering initiatives in Nigeria, SNEPCo was in early 2018 honoured as the best Nigerian oil and gas company in technology and innovation at the maiden edition of the Nigerian International Petroleum Summit (NIPS) held in Abuja for pioneering in-country Subsea Tree Refurbishment, a remarkable feat in local capacity potential which resulted in significant savings. This was the first time in the Nigerian oil and gas industry that a Subsea Tree was fully stripped down and refurbished locally with all its original functionality restored.
The Bonga field increased Nigeria's oil production by 10% when output began in 2005 and has since stimulated the growth of support industries in addition to helping to create the first generation of Nigerian oil and gas engineers with deep-water experience. The FPSO has potential to produce 225,000 barrels of crude oil and 210 million standard cubic feet of gas per day.
The FPSO vessel's capacity was upgraded in recent years, allowing SNEPCo to expand the field with further drilling of wells in Bonga Phases 2 and 3 and through a subsea tie-back that unlocked the nearby Bonga North West field in August 2014.
Bonga North West is capable of producing approximately 65,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day and was named Engineering Project of the Year 2015 at the prestigious Platts Global Energy Awards in New York.

Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Celiac Plexus Neurolysis (EUS-CPN) for the treatment of abdominal pain in pancreatic cancer can be administered in three different ways, depending on the site of needle insertion: central injection (CI), bilateral injection (BI) and celiac ganglia neurolysis (CGN). This meta-analysis aimed to (1) estimate the overall efficacy of the EUS-CPN; (2) compare the efficacy of each of the three techniques; and (3) investigate demographic and disease characteristics as potential predictors of treatment response.
We searched MEDLINE and EMBASE for studies that reported the proportion of treatment responders to EUS-CPN overall, and according to the technique used. We performed a random effects meta-analysis of proportions, and meta-regression was used to estimate the association between technique and clinical characteristics on treatment response. The safety profile was reviewed through narrative synthesis.
Overall response rate to EUS-CPN was 68% (95% CI 61%–74%) at week two and 53% (95% CI 45%–62%) at week four. There was no evidence of a significant difference in the response rates between the three techniques. Demographics and disease characteristics were not associated with treatment response. Serious complications have been reported for BI and CGN but not for CI. Moderate to high risk of bias was observed.
EUS-CPN is a useful adjunct to opioids in the management of pain. There is no evidence of a difference in the efficacy among the three techniques, however, CI is the only one for which serious complications have not been reported. Future research should focus on the appropriate timing of EUS-CPN (early versus on demand) and randomised comparison to establish the comparative efficacy of each technique.

Pixar's Next Original Film Is About a Link Between Music and Death
Filed to:Coco

Pixar only released one film in 2016, the hit Finding Dory, but next year they'll release two: the sequel Cars 3 and the original film Coco, directed by Toy Story 3's Lee Unkrich. We've known Coco is about the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos, for a while, but now we know the real heart of the story.
Entertainment Weekly revealed that Coco will feature the voices of Benjamin Bratt, Gael García Bernal, and newcomer Anthony Gonzalez. Gonzalez is the main character, a boy named Miguel, who feels a deep connection to music despite his family banning it because of a complicated past.
Miguel's favorite singer is the late Ernesto de la Cruz (Bratt) and when he discovers a link between them, he follows it into the Land of the Dead. There Miguel meets his ancestors, but also teams up a ghost named Hector (Garcia Bernal) to find de la Cruz himself.
Admittedly, it sounds a little weird when you deliver it like that. But it's Pixar. Do you trust them when it comes to original story? Did you think the rat chef or balloon house movies were going to work as well as they did?
The director also pointed out that casting really helped drive the story of the film. "It was important to us from day one that we had an all-Latino cast," Unkrich said. "It focused us, and we ended up with a fantastic mix of people — some from Mexico and some from Los Angeles."
Coco will be out Nov. 22, 2017. Cars 3 will be out June 16, 2017.

We are excited to be starting work on phase 2 of our Sensory Garden in Stratford Park. We are working in partnership with Stroud District Council and id verde who undertake grounds maintenance on the site. We worked with Daisybank Garden Design to develop a plan and over the coming months we will need volunteers to join us to work in the garden. Please get in touch if you are interested in getting involved. In the future we will also be looking for community groups to come and help us develop our ideas and take on parts of the garden.
Are you looking for summer holiday activities? We have lots of things planned in and around Stroud including our Family Pond Dipping Sessions on Wednesday 16 August. There are three sessions at 10am, 10.45am and 11.30am where families will have a hands-on opportunity to get a closer look at the exciting variety of creatures that live in our ponds. Or why not join us for a Family Walk on Wednesday 23 August 10am - 1.30pm.

The TV shows and movies that got me through 2020
Rachel Brosnahan is shown in a scene from the Amazon movie "I'm Your Woman." Image source: Wilson Webb/Amazon Studios
The question of what to watch on streaming services like Netflix took on an unusual kind of urgency during 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic forced us all to hunker down at home.
Streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and Disney+ kept us busy with tons of content to stream at home as the pandemic worsened.
These were some of the TV shows and movies that got me through the darkness and boredom of 2020.
The coronavirus pandemic made the consumption of pop culture and the task of figuring out what to watch on the growing plethora of streaming services in 2020 more different and much more urgent than it had ever been before, thanks to all of us being forced to hunker down at home. Streaming content from Netflix and other providers became more of a collective experience in 2020, with movie theaters closed and options for consumer entertainment drastically curtailed because of safety concerns associated with the pandemic and public spaces.
Like most people, I found myself devouring more books, TV shows, movies, and even a few podcasts than I ever have, the pace of which ramped up considerably as the COVID pandemic worsened and staying home became even more of an imperative as the year dragged on.
I'm going to start off the list below with some of the movies I especially loved in 2020, all of which I streamed at home in lieu of a theatrical experience. I'm not saying necessarily that these were the best movies of 2020 (or that any of the pop culture below was necessarily the best of the year) just that these were some of the things I especially enjoyed this year and want to call them out. As far as movies go, hopefully, we'll all get to return to our local cinemas and to those big, cushy chairs with a tub of popcorn to experience this kind of fare again very soon:
I'm Your Woman: Rachel Brosnahan blew me away in this Amazon original movie, in which she plays the wife of a criminal who has to go on the run and learn how to fend for herself when he doesn't come home. If Rachel hadn't uttered a single word throughout this movie, I still would have been bowled over by the power of her acting just by everything she tells you merely with her face and body language. She's that good.
Tenet: Director Christopher Nolan's newest feature film played with the concept of time in a way that made your brain hurt if you tried too hard to understand it. I've seen it three times already this year, first within the socially distanced setting of my local drive-in, and two more times via video on demand. Temporal pincers, a Russian super-villain, code phrases ("We live in a twilight world"), big, expansive episodes like an opera siege in Kiev — this movie had me on cloud nine.
Palm Springs: Similar to why I loved Tenet, this Hulu-exclusive movie stars Andy Sandberg and is basically a guy-girl romance involving two people stuck in a time loop that they have to figure out how to get out of. It worked on an even deeper level, not to be too on the nose about this, since 2020 was kind of a time loop that that all of us were likewise trying to figure out how to escape, am I right?
TV shows I loved in 2020
The Bureau: This show has been praised as basically France's equivalent of Homeland. Like the title suggests, much of the action in Le Bureau des Légendes (as it's known in France) takes place in and around an office, making this something of a workplace drama — albeit one that's interrupted by plenty of sequences "in the field," as well as sumptuous Parisian vistas for audiences to lust over. Things are set in a "bureau" of the Dírection Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure, or D.G.S.E. (France's CIA). The protagonist is French intelligence officer Guillaume Debailly (who's also known as "Malotru"), and the seemingly authentic tradecraft that he and his fellow spooks employ is fascinating to watch.
Better Call Saul (season 5): This Breaking Bad prequel series is so good, I almost prefer it to the sequel series that's focused on Walter White. Lawyer Jimmy McGill (aka Saul Goodman) is such a fascinating character to follow, and the writing is elevated into the stratosphere by Bob Odenkirk's performance. Creator Vince Gilligan also really, really loves what he does. Case in point: I could cite many examples, but in the finale of Season 5, Lalo Salamanca has just survived an assassination attempt. He angrily stomps out of frame, the gravel crunching underfoot as he walks. Slowly, that sound of crunching gravel turns into the sound of thunder — as if to suggest something like the god of war is about to unleashed.
Tehran: This is hands-down my favorite show on Apple's still relatively young streaming service Apple TV+, which only launched a little more than a year ago.Tehran is focused on a fictional Mossad agent who goes deep undercover on a dangerous mission in Iran's capital city that places her and everyone around her in jeopardy. There is a good chance I might cry for about a week if Apple doesn't pick this up for Season 2. And speaking of Apple TV+ …
Ted Lasso: Another breakaway hit for Apple TV+, this show is focused on the character of Ted Lasoo, a college football coach played by Jason Sudeikis who's given the opportunity to coach a professional soccer team in England. Lasso is hopeful, earnest, and the kind of optimist with a perpetual grin on his face — even when one of the players laments that he's now being coached by "Ronald (expletive) McDonald." At which point, Lasso turns to his assistant coach. "You gonna let him talk to you like that?" I don't think he was talking to me, the assistant coach shoots back. "He thinks he's mad now," Lasso muses, "wait till we win him over." Definitely the feel-good show that everyone needed right now.
No Man's Land: Another fantastic Hulu original series, No Man's Land introduces us to Antoine — a young Frenchman whose sister, we're led to believe, died in a terrorist bombing. Eventually, Antoine comes to suspect she may not actually be dead — that, in fact, she might somehow have hooked up with a group of female Kurdish fighters who are ISIS' biggest nightmare. From Hulu's description of the show, "Antoine's journey crosses paths with adventurers and anarchists, spies and innocent victims, and provides a unique look on the tragic events in Syria, and the way they affect the entire world."
The Mandalorian: This one is a little show you might have heard about on this streaming service that Disney launched called Disney+ that's set on the Star Wars universe.
Deutschland 89: Another spy series, this one set in Germany in the 1980s. The Berlin Wall is about to fall, and the dark, secrets-filled world of East Germany is about to crumble, leaving the spies at the heart of this show (available on Hulu) wondering how to adjust to a new world.
Suburra — Blood on Rome (Season 3): From Netflix's description, "Suburra: The Series is a crime thriller set in Rome that describes how the Church, the state, organized crime, local gangs and real estate developers collide and blur the lines between the legal and the illicit in their quest for power. At the heart of the story, three young men with different backgrounds, ambitions and passions will have to forge alliances to achieve their deepest desire."
The Splendid and the Vile, by Erik Larson: I ordered this one from Shakespeare and Co., a bookstore in Paris I'd hoped to visit this year. It's a novelistic historical treatment of the first year of the Blitz and how London reacted to Hitler's provocations during WWII. It's intensely focused on Prime Minister Winston Churchill's reaction to the crisis ("We shall fight in France … We shall go on to the end"), and it felt somehow appropriate to read right now during the coronavirus era.
Here and Now and Then, by Mike Chen: I was looking for something like this to read after watching Tenet. The hero of this book is a time-traveling secret agent who chases a criminal into the past, gets stuck there, decides to settle down with a family, and then a secret agent buddy returns to bring him back to the future. This book deals with all the fun time-travel plot devices we're familiar with, like the secret agent hero trying to somehow escape the grandfather paradox — for example, trying not to do anything that will finger-snap his new family in the past out of existence, Thanos-style.
Podcasts that hooked me in 2020
Transmissions — The Definitive Story of Joy Division & New Order: Based on interviews with band members and others, this podcast tracks the history of two incredible, unforgettable bands.
True Spies: Narrated by actresses Hayley Atwell and Vanessa Kirby, this podcast offers just what the title suggests — a recounting of true stories from the lives of real spies, covering everything from the Cold War to the 2000s-era War on Terror.
