Camera operators who work on movie sets have the benefit of video editors and can shoot as much video as is needed until the cinematographer, and ultimately, the director, is satisfied. On television sets, during live taping, the camera operator takes cues from the director and edits in film. The camera operator is usually in charge of any camera assistants or production assistants.... A camera operator captures material for movies, television shows, documentaries, music videos, sporting events, and news events. If camera operating sounds like an exciting to you, you may want to consider a career within the field!
19/05/2018�� Camera operators who are quick and easily annoyed if anyone gets too close to any equipment. Build relationships with gaffers, grips, production managers, producers, and directors. If you get on set, let everything you experience soak in.
In fact, the french director goes so far that within the very first shot of Le Mepris, the viewer starts off as a witness of a diegesis shot only to become a part of it as the camera operator pans and tilts the camera until it catches the viewer�s gaze. Thus, in doing so, the audience isn�t simply reminded of the artificiality of cinema but is also invited into the process.

A fund of ?5,000 can be awarded to support camera department personnel, for example, second ACs, to gain up to 20 days on-set training in focus pulling and for focus pullers to train as camera operators.
A focus puller, or 1st assistant camera, is a member of a film crew's camera department whose primary responsibility is to maintain image sharpness on whatever subject or action is being filmed. "Pulling focus" or " rack focusing " refers to the act of changing the lens 's focus distance setting in correspondence to a moving subject's physical distance from the focal plane.

My strategy for wrangling this data set is as follows.

*

*Source the data file from azure data Lake Using a tab-delimited CSV
data set. This successfully delivers the source data in four columns
to my data flow.

*Add a surrogate key transformation to add an incrementing key value to each row of data.

*Add a derived column,
with the following function.
regexSplit(Column_4,'\s(?=(?:[^"](["])[^"]\1)[^"]$)')
This splits the data by spaces ignoring the spaces between semicolons.

*Then the unfold creates a new record for each item in the array while preserving the
other column values.
unfold(SplitBySpace)

*Then split the key-value pairs into their represented value and key by the Delimiter equals.

*The final step would then be to unpivot the data back into columns with the respected values grouped by the surrogate key added in step 2.
This all sounds good but unfortunately step 5 fails with the following error.  "Indexing is only allowed on the array and map types".
The output after step 4.

The unfold function returns an array according to the inspect tab, see below.  I would expect a string here!!
Now in step 5, I split by "="  with the expression split(unfoldSplitBySpace, '=') but this errors in the expression builder with the message "Split expect string type of argument"
Changing the expression to split(unfoldSplitBySpace1, '=')  remove the error from the expression Builder.
BUT THEN the spark execution engines errors with "Indexing is only allowed on the array and map types"

The problem.
According to the Azure Data Factory UI, the output of the Unfold() function is an array type but when accessing the array elements or any other function the spark engine does not recognise the object as in array type.
Is this a bug in the execution or do I have a problem in my understanding of how the data factory and a spark engine understand arrays?

A: Split() function splits the string to multiple values based on delimiter and returns array type.
If you are splitting value of array of particular index, mention the index with in braces [].
Example:
Here I have an array value ["employee=Robert", "D"], and using split(), I am splitting the value of index 1 based on =.

split(value[1], '=')

A: Microsoft-help provided an answer.
First, it looks like a bug.
Second, there is a workaround.  Cast the array output to string with toString(unfold(SplitBySpace))

\section{Introduction}

Both major contending theories of planet formation, core accretion and gravitational
instability, require collection of solid material into a dense mid-plane layer within
circumstellar disks \citep[e.g.,][and references therein]{pollack96,boss97,schrapler04}.
To understand this first stage in the generation of
planetary embryos we must determine the necessary conditions for
grain sedimentation and if the relevant physical processes
act uniformly with particle size.
Numerical simulations incorporating gas drag and stellar gravity
predict that larger grains are expected to settle into the
disk mid-plane more efficiently than smaller grains \citep[e.g.,][]{barriere05,laibe08}.
However, these simulations
predict extremely short timescales for the
growth and migration of dust particles that are inconsistent with observations,
suggesting that some additional disk physics
needs to be included
(see \citealt{brauer07}).
Observational results, and modeling thereof
\citep[e.g.,][]{duchene03,pinte07},
have begun to lay the foundation for grain sedimentation and its relation to grain
growth, providing evidence in support of larger grains being more concentrated towards
the disk mid-plane.
Although these works hint that grain growth, radial migration,
and sedimentation are
intimately connected, observations that resolve the spatial distribution of large
grains are necessary to complete this picture.

Study of the largest dust grains and their spatial distribution requires
observations at long wavelengths (commensurate with grain size; e.g.,
\citealt{natta04,wilner05,rodmann06,lommen09}).
Unambiguous grain vertical distribution information can only come from
protoplanetary disks which are
edge-on to our line of sight (Section \ref{secsamp}).
Edge-on protoplanetary disk systems imaged in scattered light typically
subtend $\sim$0.3-3$''$ in the vertical direction (see Table \ref{tabtargets} references).
To identify vertical grain stratification,
thermal emission from disk atmosphere grains must be
separated from that of grains settled to the disk mid-plane with
high angular resolution observations.
Hence, to study the vertical distribution of large grains, one must map
edge-on disk systems with a long-baseline radio interferometer such as the
NRAO\footnote{The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is a facility of the National
Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.}
Expanded Very Large Array (EVLA; \citealt{perley11}).

In this contribution we present an EVLA survey of edge-on protoplanetary disk
systems. Target selection and observations are discussed, and
first results on the source IRAS\,04368+2557 are reported.

\section{Sample Definition}
\label{secsamp}

Edge-on disks are selected because of their favorable geometry:
each beam of an edge-on disk map samples
a single disk altitude. From spectral index maps of edge-on disk systems
we will measure the maximum
grain size per synthesized beam
and hence the vertical distribution of grains
as a function of grain size. Some assumptions regarding disk axisymmetry may be
necessary to delineate optical depth effects from true grain size variation,
especially near the disk mid-plane
(see also discussion in Section \ref{secgg}).

We arbitrarily restrict our sample to disks with inclination angle
$\gtrsim$75$^{\circ}$ (where 0$^{\circ}$ is face-on to our line of sight)
to limit confusion between radial and altitude flux variations.
All sources in our sample have
been selected based on the existence of scattered light images that
allow a determination of the disk inclination to a few degrees. Ultimately, such
a sample will enable more powerful global panchromatic analyses
\citep[e.g.,][]{pinte08,duchene10}.

Disk systems observed in the first EVLA observing cycle are listed
in Table \ref{tabtargets}.

\section{Observational Strategy}

Preliminary observations aim to identify microwave-bright
disks for future mapping and
to characterize the overall degree of grain growth for each disk system based
on measurement of their long-wavelength opacity index $\beta$ (where
$\kappa_{\nu}$ $\propto$ $\nu$$^{\beta}$). The value of $\beta$ provides
information on the size of grains relative to the observing wavelength,
where $\beta$$\lesssim$1
indicates grains comparable to or larger than the observing wavelength
(e.g., \citealt{beckwith90,mannings94,rodmann06,lommen09,ricci10};
Section \ref{secgg} discusses how disk
optical depth affects the determination of $\beta$).
These goals require total power measurements (i.e., unresolved disk measurements)
which are best
done in compact array configurations.

Disk flux measurements are made at 7 and 13\,mm.
Robust measurement of the opacity index $\beta$ requires
removing emission from processes other than
dust thermal emission.
Young stellar objects are known to emit in the microwave
due to free-free emission from ionized jets and disk-winds and
gyrosynchrotron emission from coronal processes (see e.g., \citealt{osten09}, and
references therein). Previous works have shown that free-free
and gyrosynchrotron emission (hereafter non-disk emission)
can contaminate the 7-13\,mm wavelength
region at a level that is anywhere
from 0-100\% of the detected flux \citep[e.g.,][]{natta04,rodmann06}.
It is assumed that measurements longward of 20\,mm are probing only
non-disk emission (this is not always the case; see \citealt{wilner05}).
We perform observations at both 35 and 60\,mm so that there are two
data points with which to determine the spectral slope of non-disk emission
components.

Non-disk emission is known to be variable
\citep[e.g.,][]{osten09}. Proper removal of
this variable emission requires observations of
the non-disk component that are as close in time as possible to observations
of the disk component.
To obtain quasi-simultaneous observations across all bands,
we intertwined scans at 7, 13, 35, and 60\,mm within a continuous
observing block (which can span 3-5 hours; see Table \ref{tab04368}).
Although these disk and non-disk measurements are not perfectly simultaneous,
the assumption is that averaging 35 and 60\,mm scans taken over the
entire observing block
will yield an accurate measurement of the non-disk emission component
during 7 and 13\,mm scans. We test this strategy in
Section \ref{secvar}.

\section{Case Study: IRAS\,04368+2557}

Of the 11 sources observed in the first EVLA cycle, 9 were detected
(Table \ref{tabtargets}). In this section observations of
IRAS\,04368+2557 (L1527\,IRS)
are presented as a case study of the methodologies outlined above.

IRAS\,04368+2557 is an embedded class 0 object
in the L1527 dark cloud in Taurus \citep{white04}. Although optically
faint (e.g., \citealt{white04}), IRAS\,04368+2557 is bright in the
sub-millimeter \citep{chandler00,andrews05}, millimeter \citep{ohashi97,motte01},
and microwave \citep{rodriguez98,loinard02}.
Millimeter and sub-millimeter results to date show that IRAS\,04368+2557
is composed of a substantial envelope that is infalling onto
the central source \citep{ohashi97,chandler00,motte01,andrews05}.
VLA imaging detects jet emission emanating from the central protostar
\citep{rodriguez98,reipurth04} and provides evidence of
a $\sim$24\,AU binary companion \citep{loinard02}.
The disk surrounding the central source is probed most recently by
\citet{tobin10} who present 3.78\,$\mu$m imaging that resolves
the inner envelope and disk structure of
IRAS\,04368+2557. The only unambiguous detection of disk thermal
emission comes from \citet{loinard02} who resolve the disk at 7\,mm.
Our observations provide the first nearly simultaneous, multiband,
compact configuration radio frequency observations of IRAS\,04368+2557.

\subsection{Observations}

IRAS\,04368+2557 was observed with all 27 EVLA antennas.
Some details of the observations are given in Table \ref{tab04368}.
The WIDAR correlator was set up with two 128\,MHz sub-bands centered
on the frequencies listed in Table \ref{tab04368}. Each sub-band had 4 polarization
products (RR, LL, RL, LR) and sixty-four 2000\,kHz channels. Observations at
7 and 13\,mm were
performed in ``fast-switching'' mode; target source scans were interleaved
with frequent visits to a nearby calibration source
to freeze out rapid atmospheric phase
fluctuations. Cycle times of 2 and 4 minutes were used for 7 and 13\,mm, respectively.
The primary calibration source 3C286 was used to measure the
complex bandpass and to set the absolute flux scale.

To probe the stability of the non-disk emission component over long and short time baselines
we retrieved VLA archival 35\,mm observations of IRAS\,04368+2557 (see Table 2).
To maintain homogeneity in this data set we only use observations performed
with all VLA antennas. VLA observations were made in both circular polarizations
with an effective bandwidth of 92\,MHz centered at a frequency of 8.46\,GHz.
Data from AR0350 and AR0465 are presented in \citet{rodriguez98} and
\citet{reipurth04}, respectively. All other data are unpublished to the best
of our knowledge. While our  reductions agree well with those
of \citet{rodriguez98}, we find a significantly lower flux density for IRAS\,04368+2557
than do \citet{reipurth04}. Further investigation shows that our measurement
is consistent with what is displayed in Figure 2 of \citet{reipurth04}, but that
this and our measurement are both inconsistent with what is listed in their Table 2.

All data are reduced using the Astronomical Image Processing Software
(AIPS; \citealt{greisen03}). VLA data are edited and calibrated following
standard VLA data reduction procedures. EVLA data are edited and calibrated in a similar
manner, except for the addition of first pass fringe fitting to set the interferometer
delays (performed on the primary calibrator, 3C286) and bandpass calibration.
Standard high-frequency reduction techniques are employed for 7\,mm data.
IRAS\,04368+2557 is detected at all observed frequencies with $\gtrsim$10$\sigma$
significance. We assume absolute flux density scale systematic
uncertainties of 15\% and 5\% for 7 and 13\,mm, respectively; these are included
in the Table \ref{tab04368} uncertainties.
Absolute flux densities for 35 and 60\,mm  are assumed
to be limited by the rms noise level in CLEANed maps.
Figure \ref{figcntrs} shows contour maps from the EVLA data; IRAS\,04368+2557 is
not resolved in any of the EVLA images.

\subsection{Centimetric Variability}
\label{secvar}

Figure \ref{figvar} presents 35\,mm measurements of IRAS\,04368+2557 from
each epoch listed in Table \ref{tab04368}. Inter-epoch measurements are made
by imaging all data obtained in the time interval listed for that
epoch. Intra-epoch measurements are made
by imaging the smallest time interval that yields an $\approx$10$\sigma$
detection of IRAS\,04368+2557.

Except for the 2002 data,
no significant ($>$3$\sigma$) inter-epoch variability is detected.
The 2002 observations were done with the most extended
array configuration and emission structures could have been resolved
out by the widely separated baselines resulting in lower than average
flux densities. Intra-epoch measurements reveal two transient events.
The first is a mini-flare observed near the
end of the 26 minute long UT 1997 Aug 14 scan.
The second is the radio jet detected by \citet{reipurth04} which
appears only near the end of the UT 2002 Feb 08 data set.
Out of eighteen $\approx$25 minute long 35\,mm
IRAS\,04368+2557 sequences, one exhibits a flare event and one exhibits a
jet event. The occurrence rate of such events in 25 minute windows
is $\sim$6\% if the events are unique and $\sim$11\%
if they are the same phenomenon.

Compared to previous studies of young stellar object centimetric variability
\citep[e.g.,][]{forbrich06,forbrich07,choi08,osten09},
the results presented herein appear to agree best with the \citet{osten09}
study of short and long term variability in
six young stellar objects. At a wavelength of 60\,mm
they find that 4 out of 6 young stellar objects show short term
variability and that 3 out of 6 objects show long term variability (the positive
variability detections are not necessarily from the same objects in each group).
Hence, their results suggest that young stellar objects
appear to be just as likely
to have short term variability as they are to exhibit long term variability.
Such conclusions seem to contradict the results of \citet{forbrich06,forbrich07} and
\citet{choi08}, where it is found that there are generally lower levels
of variability on shorter timescales. However, of the above
mentioned studies, only \citet{osten09} analyze
variability on intra-epoch (less than day) timescales. It
could be the case that even seemingly stable sources have sporadic variability
that can only be probed on the shortest timescales. If the event occurrence rate
derived above for IRAS\,04368+2557 is representative of stars in the same class,
then such sources might exhibit short-duration flares
in as many as one out of ten 25 minute observing windows.
However, since less than ten sources have been probed on
intra-epoch timescales, it is likely premature to extend their results to other
sources. Monitoring similar to that presented here and in \citet{osten09}
of new and previously studied young stellar objects
can further address variability timescales and strength in a more statistical sense.

For weak flare events like those detected here, averaging over
the duration of an observing block sufficiently suppresses
the flare effect. Stronger flares can likely be identified by analyzing
all data in a time-series fashion. No strong flares are present in the EVLA
data.

\subsection{Disk Emission Spectral Index}
\label{secgg}

Figure \ref{fig04368sed} shows the EVLA flux measurements of
IRAS\,04368+2557 with literature measurements at millimeter and sub-millimeter
wavelengths.
The 450 and 850\,$\mu$m measurements \citep{andrews05} were made with
beam sizes of 9 and 15$''$, respectively, while the
1.3\,mm measurement \citep{motte01} was made with a beam size
of 11$''$. The 2.7\,mm measurement \citep{ohashi97} was made with
a synthesized beam size of 6$''$ $\times$ 4.9$''$ (PA +163$^{\circ}$).

The non-disk emission component is fit with
$\alpha$$_{\rm 35-60mm}$$=$$0.33\pm0.17$
(where $\alpha$ is the spectral index
F$_{\rm \nu}$ $\propto$ $\nu$$^{\alpha}$),
consistent with non-disk indices assumed by \citet{rodmann06}.
An extrapolation of the non-disk emission fit is subtracted
from 7 and 13\,mm measurements;
uncertainties of each flux measurement and the spectral index are propagated
into the corrected flux uncertainties.
We calculate for IRAS\,04368+2557
$\alpha$$_{\rm 0.45-1mm}$$=$1.93$\pm$0.25
and $\alpha$$_{\rm 1-7mm}$$=$2.87$\pm$0.17
using the corrected 7\,mm flux density.
We use different spectral indices for wavelengths
$\lesssim$1\,mm and $\gtrsim$1\,mm since single power-law
fits to all sub-millimeter and millimeter data points are discrepant
with the 450\,$\mu$m flux measurement at the $\approx$5$\sigma$ level.
The spectral index from 450\,$\mu$m to 1.3\,mm
is consistent with Rayleigh-Jeans
emission suggesting that the disk is opaque at these wavelengths.
In the case of the 450\,$\mu$m to 2.7\,mm measurements,
there is likely contamination from extended envelope structure
detected around IRAS\,04368+2557
\citep[see below and][]{ohashi97,chandler00,motte01,andrews05}.
If these measurements are contaminated by envelope
emission, then the disk-only $\alpha$$_{\rm 1-7mm}$ is
smaller (flatter) than the value quoted above. It is noted that the EVLA
7\,mm flux measurement is roughly consistent with the total flux density estimated
for the resolved structures detected by \citet{loinard02}. This suggests that
the disk structure is fairly compact (relative to the envelope structure),
in agreement with scattered light images
presented by \citet{tobin10}. IRAS\,04368+2557 is resolved at
wavelengths shorter than 7\,mm with beam sizes larger than the EVLA
7\,mm synthesized beam implying that those flux measurements
include envelope emission. Synthesis of the above
suggests that accurate measurement of
grain growth from spectral indices requires data sets having
beam sizes comparable to the disk angular size when contaminating
sources are present.

Extracting an opacity index $\beta$ from the above measured
$\alpha$$_{\rm 1-7mm}$ is complicated not only by envelope contamination
but also by edge-on disk geometry. When calculating $\beta$ one must
account for optically thick inner disk emission
sampled by the flux measurements. Should no optically thick
emission be present, then $\beta$ is simply
$\alpha$$_{\rm 1-7mm}$$-$2. In the case that optically thick emission
is present in the measurements, $\beta$ takes the form
of $(1 + \Delta )$\,($\alpha_{\rm 1-7mm}$$-$2) where $\Delta$
is the ratio of optically thick to optically thin emission
\citep{beckwith90}. As discussed above, the disk orbiting
IRAS\,04368+2557 appears to be completely opaque out to wavelengths
as long as $\sim$1\,mm. Thus, significant optically thick emission may
be present even at wavelengths near 10\,mm. Estimates of
$\Delta$ are typically
made assuming some disk mass density profile and by measuring
the temperature profile from spectral indices and disk flux levels in
the optically thick wavelength regime \citep{beckwith90,rodmann06}.
However, Equation 10 of \citet{beckwith90} shows that
mapping spectral indices and disk flux levels into
temperature profiles is confounded when
disks are nearly edge-on. Modeling of edge-on disk
spectral energy distributions and resolved images can
recover their true disk temperature profiles.
Due to this additional modeling and envelope contamination uncertainties,
we leave derivation of the opacity index for the IRAS\,04368+2557 disk
to future works.

The 13\,mm measurement appears to fall short of the $\nu$$^{2.87}$ fit
after being corrected for non-disk emission.
This flux deficit suggests a break in the disk emission spectral index
from 7 to 13\,mm, but is marginally significant.
If envelope contamination is present as discussed above,
then its removal would increase the significance of the deficient
corrected 13\,mm measurement.
Comparison to other protoplanetary disk systems shows that such a
break would be unusual (e.g., \citealt{wilner05,rodmann06,lommen09})
and suggestive of a cut-off near pebble-sizes in
the disk grain size distribution. If these characteristics
of IRAS\,04368+2557 are confirmed, then there may be a connection between
its potential $\sim$24\,AU binary companion (\citealt{loinard02}),
its apparent 7\,mm outer disk truncation \citep{loinard02}, and
its possible lack of large disk grains.

\section{Conclusions}

We are carrying out an Expanded Very Large Array program to
map the vertical distribution of large grains in edge-on
protoplanetary disks. The ultimate goal of this survey is to study
grain growth and sedimentation as the first stages of planet formation.
Our compact array observational strategy aims to provide
accurate disk thermal emission measurements in the microwave
by sampling non-disk emission in concert with disk measurements.
First EVLA results for IRAS\,04368+2557 show that the protoplanetary disk
around this source is likely optically thick out to millimeter wavelengths
and that it may have a dearth of ``pebble-sized'' grains.

Besides a major centre for Kathakali training, Kalamandalam also imparts training in other performing art forms like Mohiniyattam, Koodiyattam, Thullal and Nangiarkoothu. Training in vocal and percussion instruments are also conducted here. Many of the internationally renowned artistes of Kerala and India have been trained here.
The Kalamandalam and its surroundings reflect the simple, pure and ethnic atmosphere in which these arts have survived for centuries. The Koothambalam - the traditional dance theatre at Kalamandalam is the only one in Kerala which is built outside a temple complex. This theatre is 14.62 m long and 7.31m wide and has four wooden pillars supporting it. It has three main parts - the aniyara (green room), the rangam (stage) - the space in front and side of it meant for the audience, and the mridanga-patha (where the drum is kept).
Kerala Kalamandalam was established by Vallathol Narayana Menon, the renowned Malayalam poet. It was a time when the popularity of Kathakali was on the wane. English education had been introduced and only a few upper class families in the state held the key to the art form. Realising the need to keep the art alive, the poet along with a few royal Kathakali enthusiasts like M. Mukundaraja and Kunjikuttan Thampuran, took over the revival and popularisation programme. They arranged performances by eminent artistes across the state and even raised funds through lotteries.
Over the years this unique institution has imparted training in Kathakali, Mohiniyattam, Kootiyattam, Panchavadyam, Thullal etc , following the ancient gurukula system of education.
kerala Kalamandalam, the cultural repository of Kerala, founded in 1927, by the famous poet Vallathol Narayana Menon to revive the art and dance form of Kerala, which was heralded as Kerala's first institution to provide training in classical performing arts. The introduction of Kalamandalam gave rebirth to the two classical forms of dancing, Mohiniyattam, and Kathakali, which were slowly loosing importance. It is situated 32 km from Thrissur, on the banks of Bharathapuzha river in Cheruthuruthy. The Institution also offers training in other traditional dance forms of Kerala like, Koodiyattam and Ottam Thullal and other arts form like music, drama, and other dance forms. Many internationally recognized artists in classing dancing have been trained here and the kalamandalam has contributed greatly in imparting dance training for over the past 78 years. August to March are the most favorable months for visiting Cheruthuruthy. The nearest cities are Thrissur, which is located at a distance of 32 kilometers from Cheruthuruthy, Guruvayur, located 29 kilometers away and Cochin which is located around 90 kilometers from this place.

N° 20–2003: ESA to sign contract with DLR for Columbus Control Centre
On 31 March at Oberpfaffenhofen, near Munich, Germany, ESA Director of Human Spaceflight Mr Jörg Feustel-Büechl will sign a EUR 37.7 m contract with DLR, the German national agency for aerospace research and spaceflight, to develop the Columbus Control Centre for the European Columbus laboratory on the International Space Station (ISS).
Columbus is a European science laboratory built to facilitate European research in space. It is the cornerstone of the European contribution to the ISS project and represents Europe as a key partner in the Space Station programme. ESA expects to launch the laboratory in October 2004.
The main functions of the Columbus Control Centre will be to command and control the Columbus laboratory systems, to provide and operate the European ground communications network for the facility, and to coordinate operations for the European payloads on board the International Space Station.
"The Columbus laboratory and the Columbus Control Centre are vital elements of the European participation in the International Space Station," said Mr. Feustel-Büechl, "the signature with DLR for the Columbus Control Centre demonstrates Europe's commitment to the International Space Station programme".
Once the Columbus Control Centre is set up in Oberpfaffenhofen, on the premises of DLR's German Space Operations Centre (GSOC) and ready for operations in 2004, DLR will take responsibility under a further ESA contract for management of the centre and coordinate and support all on-orbit operations of the Columbus laboratory on behalf of ESA. The Columbus assembly mission, scheduled for October 2004, and the first period of Columbus operations will be managed by an Integrated Flight Control Team consisting of DLR, Astrium and ESA personnel led by an ESA Flight Director. For subsequent periods, DLR will lead the Columbus Laboratory Flight Control Team, with up to 90 operators. The team will act on ESA's behalf vis-à-vis NASA and other ISS partners for the execution of all Columbus operations.
The Columbus Control Centre has to be operational in time to provide ground communication services for the ESA Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) Control Centre in Toulouse, France. The ATV is scheduled to be launched by Ariane 5 from Kourou, French Guiana, in September 2004 and is designed to resupply the ISS and carry out orbit reboost operations.
In placing this contract, ESA is recognising the long-standing experience and competence of DLR in Oberpfaffenhofen in the management of manned spaceflight operations. DLR has been involved in spacecraft operations for 35 years and in the management of manned spaceflight missions since the first European Spacelab mission in 1983. Since 1998 DLR specialists have contributed to the design and preparation of the Columbus Control Centre.
Media representatives wishing to attend the contract signature event at DLR in Oberpfaffenhofen on 31 March at 11:00 (see programme attached) are kindly requested to complete the attached accreditation form and return it, preferably by fax, to ESA Media Relations Service in Paris (Fax: +33(0)1.53.69.7690).

Q: Converting a row read with F#-data to array I am trying to read a csv file (without headers) using F#-data. So far I have got:
let filename = @"data.csv"
let file = File.OpenText(filename)
let data = CsvFile.Load(file)
for row in data.Rows do
    // ..

I would like to convert each row to an array of integers. How can I accomplish this?

A: The row value is an object that exposes all values of the row via row.Columns. This is an array of strings, so you can use Array.map and turn each value into a float using the float function.
for row in data.Rows do
  let asFloatArray = Array.map float row.Columns
  printfn "%A" asFloatArray // TODO: Do something useful here :-)


My daughter loves to read funny Dr. Seuss books. She loved the idea of getting to dress up for Halloween as one of her favorite childhood authors. Costumes can sometimes be so complicated. Busy Moms and Dads have no time for that! Party City is a perfect place to find all your easy Halloween costumes. There are more than 850 Party City locations across the US, so there is probably one located close to you.
This Thing 1 or Thing 2 costume is so cute! It comes with a velcro thing 2 patch so you can be Thing 1 and your best friend can be Thing 2. Diane wears juniors size small typically. This hooded long sleeve top is an adult S/M and it fits her perfectly. The package says that this small top should fit women up to a size 8, I think it might run a bit smaller than that. The adorable thing 1 and 2 ears can be a costume all by themselves! They bounce around and are a great way to be dressed up without really wearing a costume.
This Dr. Seuss costume is super cute and very comfortable. The long sleeve dress comes in one size that fits most adults. Diane is just under 5 feet and this fits her perfectly, so keep that in mind when purchasing. The Dr. Seuss red and white striped hat is stretchy and can really fit any head. It would be a cute costume all by itself. You could also wear it on Dr. Seuss day!
Rainbow Unicorn: Who does not like unicorns?
The Incredibles girl: We loved the Incredibles 2 movie and this costume is so much fun!
What costume is your favorite one?
This post has been sponsored by Dr. Seuss and KidzVuz.com. All opinions are 100% my own.
So true! Kids come up with complicated ideas that can quickly get out of hand.
We are huge Dr. Seuss fans around our house and I love this. I need a fun costume for my work, so I might just be the cat in the hat!!
Isn't this such a fun costume! Super easy and you look cute. Plus, everyone loves Dr. Seuss.
The cat in the hat is a costume we have never worn before! It is so easy to wear and you look super cute.
These are so much fun! We just love Dr. Seuss, so these would be some great costumes! My daughter is going with a scary one this year though.
I am happy my kids do not like the scary costumes! I love that my daughter wanted to be one of her favorite childhood authors.
I would definitely say this is a cute little outfit. I love Dr. Seuss and I love all the colors he did. My kiddo the trying to figure out what he wants to be for Halloween so this is a perfect idea for him.
Dr. Seuss is a costume we had never thought of before! We are really enjoying this easy costume. Maybe your son will like it too.
This is adorable and such a good, fun and easy idea. Love it!
Easy costumes are my favorite ones too! I am glad you liked it.

These are such cute costumes! My kiddos would love to wear these.
I am so glad you like these costumes. You can find them on the party city website at the links.
Those are so cutre. When my kids hit the double digit age, they did not want store bought costume anymore, they make their own.
I love that your kids make their own costumes! That is such a great way to express themselves.
Yes, I thought the same thing! The dress does come in larger sizes though. I wanted to show how it fit my daughter, it would not fit me at all!
Those are some really great and original ideas! I have always loved the designs of Dr Seuss.
Dr. Seuss is a great iconic author and I think this is a costume that will be popular for many years to come!
I can hardly believe this year. We are already at the end of September…geesh. But these are adorable.
I agree with you! Time goes by way too fast. Each year somehow goes faster than the last one did.
These are such super cute costumes. Who doesn't love Dr. Seuss? He was my kids' favorite.
Thank you! I am glad you like Dr. Seuss too! My daughter wore her costume again today, just for fun!
Wow!! These are absolutely adorable!! And so easy!
You cannot find easier costumes than these! I am so glad you like them.
That is so much fun! I love her costume and how creative is that of her to think of? I also love the Thing 1 and Thing 2 costume idea. So bright and colorful.
These costumes are very bright and colorful! It is fun to dress up with a friend as thing 1 and thing 2!
Gotta love an easy costume!!! These are too cute!
There is nothing better than making Mom's life easy!
Those costumes would be so fun for Dr. Seuss Day!
We will be wearing these costumes a few times a year, for sure!
These look like they'd be really fun costumes and the easier the better! When things get busy around this time of year, easy costumes are a definite win.
Easy costumes are the biggest win for parents!
When my daughter was trick or treating age she loved going to Party City to see what was available. We always found something we wanted!
Party City really has the best selection of costumes. You can really find something for everyone.

I love that he knows he wants to be a green character! You can find lots of green options at Party city!
I know a lot of people who will love these easy to make costumes for Halloween. I like these options so much better than buying Chinese made ones.
I'm a fan of Dr. Seuss and I approve of this costumes. All of those look great on her and is quite adorable.
Hahaha! Thank you, she really loved these costumes!
This is so cute and a costume that would definitely cute more than just one use because of Dr. Seuss themed days at school. My youngest is intent on being a skeleton but I don't know what my older daughter has planned yet. We love costumes but haven't shopped Party City in October in years, definitely checking it out this season!
You will be so impressed by the huge selection at Party City. I am sure your older daughter will find something there.
I know! I just love thing 1 and thing 2 costumes for best friends!
So cute! I do like Wonderwoman costume too. So chick yet fab! These are great options for upcoming Halloween!
I also love that Wonder Woman costume, it is so cute! Maybe next year.

You are so lucky to have a Party City so close by! I bet you have the best costumes.
These are some super easy and fun Halloween costumes. Thanks so much for sharing.
My pleasure! It is great to give moms ideas on where to find great costumes.

NCUA Issues Four Prohibition Orders
The National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) Board has issued orders prohibiting the following individuals from participating in the affairs of any federally insured financial institution:
* Jason Rene Kisor, a former employee of Pen Air Federal Credit Union, Pensacola, Fla., was convicted of theft, embezzlement, or misapplication of funds. Kisor was sentenced to three days imprisonment and five years of supervised release, and was ordered to pay $58,123 in restitution.
* Melissa Laliberte, a former employee of Meriden(Conn.) Franco-American Federal Credit Union, was convicted of embezzlement from a credit union and filing a false income tax return. She was sentenced to 51 months in prison on count one and 36 months in prison on count two, followed by supervised release. She was also ordered to pay $961,871 in restitution to the NCUA and Internal Revenue Service.
* Christine McLamb, a former employee of Health Facilities Federal Credit Union, Florence, S.C., was convicted of embezzlement and sentenced to 75 months imprisonment and five years supervised release. She was ordered to pay $1,033,965 in restitution.
* Cynthia Vaughan, a former manager of Rockland Employees Federal Credit Union, Spring Valley, N.Y., based upon her indictment for three counts of bank fraud.
Violation of a prohibition order is a felony offense punishable by imprisonment and a fine of up to $1 million.


At age 3, Angelica Lopez is helping to break a sound barrier for deaf children.
Born without working auditory nerves, she can detect sounds for the first time and start to mimic them after undergoing brain surgery to implant a device that bypasses missing wiring in her inner ears.
Angelica is one of a small number of U.S. children who are testing what's called an auditory brainstem implant, or ABI. The device goes beyond cochlear implants that have brought hearing to many deaf children but that don't work for tots who lack their hearing nerve.
When the ABI is first turned on, "she isn't going to be hearing like a 3-year-old. She'll be hearing like a newborn," audiologist Laurie Eisenberg of the University of Southern California tells parents. She outlined the research at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
The children don't magically understand and use those sounds.
"It's going to take a lot of work," Eisenberg cautioned.
Angelica cried when her ABI was first switched on, scared by the sounds. But five months later, her mother says the youngster uses sign language to identify some sounds that was a cough, that's a dog barking. And she's beginning to babble like hearing babies do, as therapists work to teach her oral speech.
"It's just so awesome to hear her little voice," said Julie Lopez of Big Spring, Texas, who enrolled her daughter in the study at USC, where researchers say she's progressing well.
Many children born deaf benefit from cochlear implants, electrodes that send impulses to the auditory nerve, where they're relayed to the brain and recognized as sound. But the small fraction born without a working hearing nerve can't make that brain connection.
The ABI attempts to fill that gap by delivering electrical stimulation directly to the neurons on the brainstem the nerve normally would have targeted. Here's how it works: The person wears a microphone on the ear to detect sound, and a processer changes it to electrical signals. Those are beamed to a stimulator under the skin, which sends the signals snaking through a wire to electrodes surgically placed on the brainstem.
The Food and Drug Administration approved the device in 2000 specifically for adults and teenagers whose hearing nerves had been destroyed by surgery for a rare type of tumor. It doesn't restore normal hearing, but can help to varying degrees.
Then about a decade ago, an Italian surgeon started trying the ABI in deaf children, whose younger brains are more flexible and might better adapt to this artificial way of delivering sound.
Now, spurred by some successes abroad, the first U.S. studies in young children are underway at a handful of hospitals. Hearing specialists are watching the work closely.
There are children "who are not being helped in any other way," said Dr. Gordon Hughes of the National Institutes of Health, which is funding Eisenberg's study. And cochlear implants proved "there's a critical time window when the brain is very receptive to auditory stimulation and can develop speech communication in ways that are surprisingly good, if the stimulation is started early enough."
The studies are small, each enrolling 10 to 20 children. Ages vary; the Los Angeles study will implant starting at age 2, while some others try earlier. Children then receive intensive therapy, to learn to hear.
The studies must prove safety, since the ABI requires delicate brain surgery in healthy children.
"We're talking about real surgery to go into a deep area of the brain," said Dr. Marc Schwartz, a neurosurgeon with the House Clinic and Huntington Medical Research Institutes in Los Angeles, who is part of the USC study. "This is a precise operation that requires exacting technique."
In skilled hands, complications appear rare, said Robert Shannon, a USC professor of otolaryngology who helped develop the device. Post-surgery, stimulator complications can include non-auditory sensations such as tingling of the face or throat.
Critical thinking challenge: Why hasn't this technology been deployed with all deaf children?
Why hasn't this technology been deployed with all deaf children?
Some deaf children's families don't have the finances to actually invest in the technology. Insurance probably won't cover the costs of the surgery.
From all these things you listed i would give up smelling, i would give up smelling because without smelling i still could live life like i usually do. And do things that i love the most in life.
I all deaf children or there gave deaf need to have surgery to got there haer back or gave them invest in the technology. in some don't the insurance to pay for the surgery.
It is a great thing when someone who is deaf is able to hear for the first time. It is a whole new world. But, at the same time the whole concept is creepy; it's like she is being reborn or something.
If the ABI were to be for free, the reason it hasn't been deploy to all deaf children is because some Government would take advantage of this technology and make a profit out of it. It's all about the money.
Even if I did cost money, this is something new and it will cost you quite a lot. Some families will not be able to afford it due to poverty or financial draw backs.
If I were to lose one of my sense, it would be smell. I do get introduce to many wonderful aroma in the world but I think it's the least important for me in this case. Sure if it were to happen to me, it would be devastating but it's not as bad as losing sight or feeling.
A lot of people sometimes can't afford these things. Honestly they should give this technology to all deaf children regardless, because they need it and they need it now. they shouldn't just give this technology to the people that can afford it they should give it to everyone who needs it. The sense i would give up would be my hearing so that way i would hear any insults that are directed towards me.
For me, i will give up smell. The other 4 senses are more important for me. I think smelling is not necessary for me, it doesn't have any problems for me if i give up smelling.
This technology could be used on every deaf children, but this technology is quite expansive for some family. They could not afford it.
One must assume that due to the fact that neither me nor my classmates have heard of this procedure that it is not the most common or well known thing. That being said I am sure that it may be well known in some circles revolving around the hearing impaired because it affects them more than it would us. That's not to say that its not important just that it may be acknowledged in those circles more than they are in mine. Upon request of my teacher I will expand upon what sense I would give up if I had to chose one. I suppose I would chose the sense of smell due to the fact that it would be the least debilitating of the five.
I think that this technology hasn't been deployed with all deaf children for two major reasons. The first being finances; many parents might not be able to afford such technology or surgery and the government providing the service could put quite a strain on taxes. The second reason being that this hasn't been proven 100% safe yet, and might never. Delicate and potentially life-threatening surgery done on perfectly healthy, young children isn't exactly an appealing idea to anyone, be it parent or bystander.
Also, if you had to give up one of your senses (hear, taste, touch, smell, sight) which one would it be and why?
I would give up smell. Although I find this to be important and have major drawbacks, I still believe to this to be the least consequential. I personally do not enjoy the sense of smell very much and as for drawbacks such as not being able to smell toxic chemicals, I could always rely on someone for that. Not just that, but restoring the sense of smell could quite potentially be the easiest and least risky main sense to restore. Also for what I would like to be my future job, an author, the sense of smell is least consequential, too. Losing something like sight or sense of touch would be destructive, but smell isn't as bad. What a character smells is not mentioned too often in fiction and when it is it is used as a metaphor about 50% or more of the time.
This is a great thing to see that a child can finally hear after awhile. They should have created this for all of the deaf children in the world.

Q: How to join several consecutive lines using one pattern for the first line and the other pattern for all following lines, preferably with sed? I want to remove from this example the whole section "Derived words", both of them. So far I have come up with an idea of joining lines that follow the line "Derived words:" with that line and removing it, but I can't just join two following lines, the number of lines may differ from article to article. So, my thoughts are check if line matches the pattern '^Derived words:' then check if next line matches the pattern '^[a-z] ' if true, join together, check next line... Sounds like the job is perfectly tailored for Bash's if-then-else but I'd prefer a pure sed solution if possible.
A swift event or process happens very quickly or without delay.
Our task is to challenge the UN to make a swift decision...
The police were swift to act.
Syn:

Derived words:
swiftly  The French have acted swiftly and decisively to protect their industries.
swiftness  The secrecy and swiftness of the invasion shocked and amazed army officers.
  Something that is swift moves very quickly.

Syn:

Derived words:

Thanks in advance

A: This might work for you (GNU sed):
sed -n '/^Derived words:/{:a;n;/^\w/ba};p' file

Use seds grep-like flag -n and when encountering Derived words: keep reading until a non-word is matched at the start of a line.

A: I find that when you want to work on blocks of many lines, the best tool tends to be awk, for example:
awk '/^Derived words/{skip=1} /^ /{skip=0} 1{if(!skip)print}' input

A: This should work in regular (non-GNU) sed. There may be a way to eliminate the redundant pattern, but I haven't come up with it yet.
sed -e :a -e '/^Derived words:/N;s/\n[a-z]//;ta' -e 's/^Derived words:.*\n//'

Here's how it works:

*

*You said that you want to remove "Derived words:" and any lines that follow it if they start with a letter (let's call those continuation lines).

*So sed reads the input and echoes it to stdout, line by line, as usual.

*But when it encounters "Derived words:" at the start of a line, before echoing it, it reads the next line into the pattern space and appends to "Derived words:", with a newline separating them (the N command), still echoing nothing since it saw "Derived words:". It then tries to delete that newline and the alphabetical character immediately following it (the s command).

*

*If it can, then it must have found a continuation line, so it tries to do that again, by jumping to the start of the script (the t command, which conditionally jumps to the label "a" defined up front with the colon command) where it will append the next line and so on.

*If it can't, it's left with the "Derived words:" line plus any continuation lines appended (without their newlines, which were removed) plus the next non-continuation line, which is separated from the rest by a newline.

*If it then sees that it has a line that starts with "Derived words:", it deletes it up to and including the newline (the second s command) -- leaving the part that follows the newline, the next non-continuation line -- which it echoes. Then it resumes processing the input with the next line.

'It's Not a Good Idea': New Jersey State Police Joins Movement Against Handgun Cell Phone Case
By Steve Beck	• Published July 1, 2015
"It's something we have to deal with, but don't want to deal with."
Those are the words from Sgt. Jeff Flynn of the New Jersey State Police referring to a controversial cell phone case that looks exactly like a handgun.
Sgt. Flynn told NBC10 that while his troopers haven't encountered the cell phone case, he said they are trained to handle difficult situations that may arise.
According to Sgt. Flynn, his priority is training the public and educating them that the cell phone could create an unnecessary dangerous situation.
"It's not a good idea. It looks real, and it could put people's lives in danger," Sgt. Flynn explained.
While he acknowledged that the product is not illegal, Sgt. Flynn would advise consumers to avoid buying that particular cell phone case.
"We very publicly advise people not to use product, not to buy the product. It could put friends and family in danger."
The case, which is used to protect smartphones, looks eerily similar to a handgun and has a replica handle and trigger. In one photo, the cell phone is tucked into an individual's back pocket and appears to be a handgun with the butt of the gun hanging out.

Information about life
Life is a characteristic that distinguishes physical entities that have biological processes, such as signaling and self-sustaining processes, from those that do not, either because such functions have ceased , or because they never had such functions and are classified as inanimate. Various forms of life exist, such as plants, animals, fungi, protists, archaea, and bacteria.
Life expectancy, often abbreviated to LEB , is a statistical measure of the average time an organism is expected to live, based on the year of its birth, its current age and other demographic factors including gender. The most commonly used measure of life expectancy is at birth, which can be defined in two ways.
Life extension is the idea of extending the human lifespan, either modestly – through improvements in medicine – or dramatically by increasing the maximum lifespan beyond its generally settled limit of 125 years. The ability to achieve such dramatic changes, however, does not currently exist.Some researchers in this area, and "life extensionists", "immortalists" or "longevists" , believe that future breakthroughs in tissue rejuvenation, stem cells, regenerative medicine, molecular repair, gene therapy, pharmaceuticals, and organ replacement (such as with artificial organs or xenotransplantations) will eventually enable humans to have indefinite lifespans (agerasia) through complete rejuvenation to a healthy youthful condition.
The possibility of life on Mars is a subject of significant interest to astrobiology due to its proximity and similarities to Earth. To date, no proof has been found of past or present life on Mars.
Life of Pi is a Canadian fantasy adventure novel by Yann Martel published in 2001. The protagonist is Piscine Molitor "Pi" Patel, an Indian Tamil boy from Pondicherry who explores issues of spirituality and practicality from an early age.

The Daily Ten – Gary Keller steps down, Danny Meyer says restaurants need stimulus, Manhattan Rents cheapest since 2013…
October 8, 2020by Steve NsonNews
October 8, 2020 by Steve Nson
1. Almost One-Quarter of Homeowners in Forbearance Are Still Paying| Bloomberg
The forbearance issue that hangs over the mortgage bond market may actually be better than it seems at first glance.
Almost one quarter of all homeowners who have demanded forbearance are still current on their mortgages as of Sept. 6, according to the latest Mortgage Bankers Association data. Of the 3.4 million households currently in forbearance, roughly 820,000 have not missed a payment.
"That has been one of the most surprising aspects of this entire episode," Mike Fratantoni, MBA's senior vice president and chief economist, said in an interview with Bloomberg. "We've seen that share come down over time because some of those borrowers have exited forbearance."
Call it "strategic forbearance," with many homeowners taking on the option, just in case. Of the Ginnie Mae borrowers in forbearance, 23.7% are current. For conventional borrowers it's 20.6%, and for those sitting on banks' balance sheets it's 28.6%.
This is important, as mortgages which continue to pay are not going to be bought out by servicers, and for mortgage investors buyouts are just prepayments by another name. With loans bought out from pools at par, this can weigh on portfolio performance, especially when much of the mortgage universe is trading at a premium.
2. Restaurateur Danny Meyer on stimulus need: 'We cannot reemploy people if we go out of business' | CNBC
Famed restaurateur Danny Meyer told CNBC on Wednesday that the dining industry desperately needs government aid due to the coronavirus pandemic, warning of significant economic damage without it.
"We cannot reemploy people if we go out of business," Meyer said "Closing Bell," one day after President Donald Trump put an end to broader Covid-19 stimulus negotiations "until after the election." Trump later expressed support for smaller bills targeting the airline industry, small business and stimulus checks for individual Americans.
Meyer, who is CEO of Union Square Hospitality Group and founder of burger chain Shake Shack, called the halt to relief talks a "crushing blow" for those in the restaurant business. He said that is especially true as restaurants grapple with the uncertainty around colder weather, complicating the pandemic-era lifeline of outdoor dining.
3. Gary Keller steps back from Keller Williams amid major corporate restructuring | HousingWire
Keller Williams Realty will no longer have a CEO
Keller Williams co-founder Gary Keller has stepped down as CEO amid a broader corporate restructuring that will see the creation of a new holding company, KWx, and a new CEO.
In an email to Keller Williams' leaders and agents Wednesday morning, Keller said the announcement is "one I have been working toward for many months and am confident will mark the next chapter in the history of Keller Williams."
KWx will house all of Keller Williams' affiliates and subsidiaries, including Keller Williams Realty, Keller Williams Worldwide, Keller Mortgage, Keller Covered and Keller Offers, and will "create alignment, scale and efficiencies across the Keller Williams ecosystem," the company said in a news release.
"This move will allow me the opportunity to get back to my passion – placing my focus on the vision for our industry, consulting our amazing agents and leaders, and building the models and systems for tomorrow's real estate environment," Keller said in the email.
In January 2019, Keller, a charismatic Texan who co-founded the company in 1983, took back control of the brokerage from longtime employee John Davis, who had been CEO for just two years. At the time, the residential brokerage industry was grappling with a wave of consolidation, disruptions in technology, poaching wars and slowing growth.
Keller, who has pivoted multiple times during his decades at Keller Williams, re-emerged that winter to win back market share for the franchise brokerage. The list of challenges was long: some of its best agents had been picked from upstart rivals like virtual brokerage eXp Realty (which also has a profit-sharing model), Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, and Compass. And Keller Williams had also been slow to adapt to shifts in technology.
4. Boom Supersonic Unveils the Jet Concept That Will Fly From NYC to London in 3.5 Hours | Robb Report
The future plane could cut long-haul flights in half.
What if you could travel from New York City to London in just 3.5 hours? It may sound like pure fantasy when considering that the trip is normally a seven-hour slog, but a newly unveiled prototype could change that for good.
Engineered and designed by aviation startup Boom Supersonic, the XB-1 could revolutionize commercial air travel, introducing Mach speeds not seen since the days of the Concorde, which was retired in 2003. The full-scale demonstrator––showcased to a team of executives on Wednesday in Denver––won't take to the skies until next year, but its mere existence is an important step to becoming a reality.
Though the model is a downsized version of what the company plans to build in the future at just 71 feet long (it currently only has room for the pilot), the jet is still anticipated to reach speeds of Mach 1.3 or 997mph via three J85-15 engines.
If all goes well with the initial testing phase, Boom Supersonic hopes a full-sized aircraft with room for 44 passengers can be in regular use by as early as 2029. The end goal is the development of its 199-foot-long Overture, its first commercial plane, which would have enough room to ferry between 68 and 88 passengers at any one time while flying at speeds literally double that of standard jets today. Aside from a speedy trip across the Atlantic, it would also mean traveling from Los Angeles to Sydney in 6 hours and 45 minutes compared to the normal 15 hour trek. But that convenience, as you would expect, doesn't come cheap. Tickets are expected to cost $5,000 each once the jet takes flight.
5. Manhattan Apartments Haven't Been This Cheap to Rent Since 2013 | Bloomberg News
Manhattan renters have never had this many apartments to choose from. And it's been seven years since rents were this low.
September proved to be another winning month for bargain-hunters committed to finding a place in New York City's costliest borough — and another month of worry for landlords trying to fill mounting vacancies.
Apartment listings tripled from a year earlier to 15,923, the largest monthly inventory in records dating back to 2006, according to a report Thursday by appraiser Miller Samuel Inc. and brokerage Douglas Elliman Real Estate. The vacancy rate set a new high for the fifth straight month, rising to 5.75%.
Renters are finding few reasons to sign leases in Manhattan, and even fewer to pay a premium to live there in the Covid-19 era. Offices are still mostly empty, public schools are largely remote and restaurants and cultural attractions like museums are operating at limited capacity.
"I'm not sure how this changes in the short term or over the next six months," said Jonathan Miller, president of Miller Samuel. "The direction of the rental market is determined by when there is a vaccine."
6. Fancy Cars, Fine Dining, Creator Mansions, Cash: Triller Is Shelling Out for Talent | New York Times
TikTok's top creators are taking "Triller money" to bring their content over to the app.
When talk of a possible TikTok ban began in July, the leaders of a small social video app called Triller saw a growth opportunity.
To attract users, the company set its sights on TikTok's biggest names. Some of the Sway Boys, a group of TikTok influencers, had been toying with the idea of building their own app to compete with TikTok, but after a discussion with Ryan Kavanaugh, the majority owner of Triller and a veteran entertainment executive, they decided the platform could be good for them.
Triller offered the creators a deal: Tell your audience on TikTok that you're moving to Triller, and we'll give you equity and roles within the company. You can still post on TikTok, they were told, but only if you post on Triller more frequently. In turn, of the Sway Boys, Josh Richards, 18, was named Triller's chief strategy officer, and Griffin Johnson, 21, and Noah Beck, 19, joined as advisers with equity.
Soon, CNBC, Fox News and The Los Angeles Times were writing about TikTok defectors bound for Triller, an app they described as a viable replacement for TikTok should a ban be put in place. In August, Triller announced it was seeking a new funding round of $250 million, hiking its valuation to over $1 billion.
7. Pandemic Exposes Holes in Sweden's Generous Social Welfare State | New York Times
Decades of budget-cutting and market reforms laid the ground for a wave of death in Swedish nursing homes.
In the popular imagination, Sweden does not seem like the sort of country prone to accepting the mass death of grandparents to conserve resources in a pandemic.
Swedes pay some of the highest taxes on earth in exchange for extensive government services, including state-furnished health care and education, plus generous cash assistance for those who lose jobs. When a child is born, the parents receive 480 days of parental leave to use between them.
Yet among the nearly 6,000 people whose deaths have been linked to the coronavirus in Sweden, 2,694, or more than 45 percent, had been among the country's most vulnerable citizens — those living in nursing homes.
That tragedy is in part the story of how Sweden has, over decades, gradually yet relentlessly downgraded its famously generous social safety net.
8. Inside the $1 Billion Bid to Rescue Affordable Housing | Bloomberg CityLab
A new partnership between housing groups aims to give nonprofit developers the resources they need to preserve affordable apartments.
In normal times, the deal to rehab Coggins Square Apartments might have been a very minor victory for advocates of preserving affordable housing. But these are not normal times.
The nearly 20-year-old building — a modest transit-adjacent apartment building in Walnut Creek, California, just northeast of Oakland — is getting a $16 million facelift, and its developers will preserve its existing 86 units as affordable housing for residents making under 60% of area median household income, with some units set aside for tenants earning much less.
In the Covid-19 era, with construction of new affordable housing in the U.S. slowing to a crawl as a massive wave of housing instability looms, the scheme represents a potentially life-saving win. The Coggins Square deal is an example of a project financed through the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC), an investment incentive program that has subsidized more than 3 million low-income housing units since its inception in 1986. Two nonprofits were involved in the project — the National Affordable Housing Trust (NAHT) and BRIDGE Housing Corporation, with an investment from JP Morgan Chase. It was the first deal during the pandemic to close for NAHT, a LIHTC syndicator that partners with developers and investors to build and preserve affordable housing.
9. Envisics raises $50 million to bring AR holographic displays to car windshields | Venture Beat
Envisics, a U.K.-based startup developing augmented reality (AR) holographic head-up display (HUD) technology for cars, has raised $50 million in a series B round of funding from a host of automotive giants, including Hyundai Mobis, General Motors' VC arm GM Ventures, and China's SAIC Motors' investment offshoot SAIC Capital.
HUD technology originally gained traction in the aviation and military realm — where it allows pilots and operators to view data directly in their field of vision. But it has increasingly made its way into the automotive sphere, with the likes of BMW embracing HUDs to display things like speed and directions in the windshield. However, most modern HUD systems offer fairly basic graphical functionality with a limited field of view (FOV) that places images near the front of the car — basically as a secondary display for information already visible elsewhere in the vehicle.
With AR-enabled HUDs, cars can overlay graphics that interact with real-world objects and leverage vehicle sensor data. In real terms, this means a car's driver assistance system can move beyond audible alerts and flashing symbols to highlight a potential hazard on the road via the windshield, for example.
10. Former College Basketball Walk-On Is Worth $11.3 Billion, More Than LeBron And Jordan Combined | Forbes
Former Michigan State basketball walk-on, Mat Ishbia, is now worth more than Lebron James, Shaquille O'Neal, Dwanye Wade, and Michael Jorden combined. Ishbia, who was a member of the 2000 NCAA championship time, is now CEO of United Shore, also known as United Wholesale Mortgage. The company is preparing to go public on the Nasdaq stock exchange in a deal involving another basketball connection, the older brother of Detroit Pistons owner Tom Gores.
The deal values United Shore at $16 billion and would leave its owners, mainly Ishbia and his father, Jeffrey, who founded the company, with a 94 percent stake. Mat Ishbia's stake would amount to roughly 70 percent of the newly public company, which would translate to $11.3 billion, assuming a $10 share price, according to Bloomberg.
United Shore is the second largest mortgage lender behind Quicken Loans. It has a roughly 20 percent share of the overall mortgage market and a 33 percent share in the wholesale mortgage market. United's wholesale lending business underwrites loans made by independent mortgage brokers. This contrasts with companies like Quicken Loans who also provide direct-to-consumer loans.

Nearly a decade ago, two of Hollywood's top A-listers joined forces to make an uninspired and excruciatingly predictable film that has nonetheless left a lasting impact on society.
In The Bucket List, Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman portrayed two terminally ill men who embark on an adventurous road trip to fulfill a list of things they always dreamed of doing before they "kick the bucket" and move on to the next world.
Though roundly panned by numerous critics, the movie popularized the idea of drawing up a catalog of experiences, ambitions and dreams for people to pursue while they still walk this earth, and the term "bucket list" quickly entered the popular lexicon.
Indeed, a simple Google search reveals a seemingly endless range of suggestions for those looking to compile their own personal inventory of must-do matters, ranging from the beneficent to the bizarre.
They include everything from volunteering in a soup kitchen to climbing an active volcano to getting your hair groomed by a monkey in the Philippines. Others suggest even more offbeat activities, such as swimming with sharks, chasing a tornado or getting your photograph taken with a tiger (believe it or not, I actually have done the latter).
While it may seem somewhat silly, the idea of creating a bucket list is in fact an implicit acknowledgment of man's mortality and life's ephemerality. It can serve as a valuable way for each person to look at himself in the mirror, acknowledge that his time on this planet is limited, and figure out what he wants to accomplish while there is still breath in his nostrils.
Unfortunately, though, most bucket lists appear to focus more on the outlandish and less on the meaningful, highlighting eccentricity and excitement rather than things of lasting value or depth.
There is of course nothing wrong with wanting to have some fun and getting the adrenaline going, whether that involves visiting emperor penguins at the South Pole, running the New York marathon or sleeping in a tree house beside the Amazon.
But there is no reason why a person can't have two bucket lists either, one for the body and one for the soul. After all, there is no shortage of cultural, religious or spiritual experiences that too many Jews go through life without ever feeling or knowing firsthand, and that is something that needs to change.
Every rabbi and Jewish educator throughout the Diaspora should challenge their congregants, students and colleagues to come up with a Jewish bucket list, one that includes authentically Jewish experiences that go beyond the universal or simply humanitarian.
This can serve not only as a means of combating increasing assimilation but also as a way of inspiring people to think differently about their spiritual lives, setting goals and objectives just as they do in other areas.
Learn to read some basic Hebrew, the language of the Jewish people and its greatest texts. As a phonetic tongue that is largely root-based, even the most linguistically challenged person can pick up the skills needed to read in a relatively short amount of time. Doing so connects one with Jewish history and destiny, and can make attending synagogue or a Passover Seder far more consequential.
Study a page of Talmud, one of the core sources of Jewish law and lore. Sure, it looks intimidating. But thanks to innovations such as the Steinsaltz edition, or Artscroll's Schottenstein set, which provide extensive English translations, notes and explications, it is now possible for every Jew to dip his toe into the sea of the Talmud and work his way through a topic. The pleasure that comes from grappling intellectually with the legal, moral, philosophical and practical issues that arise on any given page of the Talmud is something that no Jew should go through life without experiencing at least once.
Seek out a Holocaust survivor and hear his or her story. Each year, with the passage of time, the number of those who managed to emerge alive from the Nazi German death machine continues to dwindle. Reading about the Holocaust or seeing a documentary can be educational, but it pales in comparison to spending an hour or two with a person who witnessed it firsthand. Take your family with you, and keep the memory of what happened alive.
Visit Israel and, when you do, make sure your itinerary includes a site such as the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron, the resting place of the biblical figures Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca and Leah. How many nations on earth have the privilege of knowing where their founding fathers were buried millennia ago? This holy place has a spiritual and historical power that profoundly impacts all who set foot within.
Observe at least one traditional Shabbat. Regardless of your level of Jewish affiliation, you will find celebrating an authentic Sabbath as Jews have done for thousands of years to be an emotive experience. Call a rabbi or Sabbath-observant family, and ask them to host you for what will prove to be 25 hours of physical rest and spiritual uplift.
Obviously, there are many more items that a Jewish bucket list can and should contain, and each person or community should tailor its contents accordingly, taking into account their own individual or collective needs.
But whatever you might choose to include, the important thing to remember when drawing up your own bucket list is that physical thrills can and should be augmented by spiritual ones, too.
Simply put, life can be fun, but it should also be no less fulfilling.
