Can you improve your component cleaning process? Come and find out for yourself at the best showroom facility in the cleaning industry. Of course, if you are looking to purchase a new component cleaning solution, process trials are essential in proving a number of important points. You need to feel confident that you are making the right decision about the cleaning equipment selected. If this can be achieved at the first attempt, great, but you need a partner like Kumi that is able to provide multiple tests. As the exclusive UK agents for the Pero range of advanced aqueous and solvent based cleaning and degreasing systems, the company has the best equipped component cleaning technology showroom in the country. With a number of different Pero machines set up ready for customer trials, the best system specification and cleaning agent or solvent combination can quickly be ascertained.
When it comes to advanced cleaning and degreasing systems German company Pero is in a class of its own. Staying ahead of legislation, the latest Pero solvent degreasing systems cut volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions to 80 or 90% below that of current and forthcoming regulations, and are built to satisfy the stricter emission laws in Germany. For companies that need to exceed compliance with current regulations a range of optional extras are available to reduce emissions to almost zero. Pero solvent degreasing machines are designed to operate around-the-clock and provide flexible and reliable cleaning solutions to suit a wide range of component sizes. However, some companies have products or policies which prevent the use of solvents. To address their demands Pero has developed advanced aqueous cleaning systems.
Kumi provides a single source complete component cleaning project solution, including logistical considerations such as unloading and positioning of equipment, as well as connection to required services. Workholding, fixtures and equipment for work processing can also be included for turnkey applications. Frontline spares stock is held in the UK with full service support contracts available.

What we have seen recently is a distinct shift towards polished concrete and as it appears it's not just for the looks. For years Clarke's Design & Construct have been really proud of our high quality and millimetre perfect construction techniques on our Commercial & Industrial buildings.
The owner of Clarke's Design & Construct, Andrew Clarke has an eye for perfection and he has drilled it into us that when it comes to delivery and quality… "if it's not perfect you are not finished", so the use of an otherwise un-loved structural slab has now got a new use.
Our highly skilled tradies were already spending their time getting our slabs as flat as an ice rink so with the addition of some steel mesh to minimise the risk of shrinkage cracks and series of grinding, hardening agents and polishing pads… voila!

Q: What are some augmentation techniques when I only have 3 numbers for each datapoint? I have 300 datapoints/samples.
They are either 'healthy' or 'diseased'.
For each point I have some NIR spectral data which is made up of 100 different wavelengths.
I have augmented this with multiplicative noise.
For each point I also have 3 numbers (elemental data) which indicate the quantity of Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Hydrogen in the sample.
I am unsure how to augment the elemental data, should I just add random noise again?
Is there anything smarter I can do?
Adding random noise is pretty easy, but seems like with such a small amount of samples and information that I'm making the dangerous assumption that any elemental data within x% should be considered healthy when I'm not sure if that IS the case.

This meditation by an award winning historian calls for a new way oflooking at the natural world and our place in it, while boldly challenging theassumptions that underlie the way we teach and think about both history andtime. Calvin Luther Martin's In the Spirit of the Earth is a provocativeaccount of how the hunter-gatherer image of nature was lost -- with devastatingconsequences for the environment and the human spirit.
According to Martin, our current ideas about nature emerged during neolithictimes, as humans began to domesticate animals and farm the land. In thehunter-gatherer mind, animals and plants were spiritual beings and the earth areliable provider. But in neolithic innovations Martin finds the roots of ourown curiously alienated relationship with other living things and with theearth itself. This alienation is revealed not only in our artifice -- thetechnology that moves us further and further away from nature -- but even in theway we speak about the world. It is revealed most dramatically, perhaps, inthe horrific destruction we have visited on animals and landscapes. Martin sees the shift to agricultural economies as a change in spiritual imagination. This new approach to food getting meant a new understanding ofourselves and the world -- a new, powerful image of the self relative to plantsand animals. It led to food surpluses, a population boom, the appearance ofcities and ceremonial centers, and the emergence of priestly classes and rulingelites -- in short, to all the achievements, follies, and horrors of"civilization."
Martin argues that history -- his own discipline -- and human centered historicalconsciousness lie at the heart of this ultimately destructive ideology. Notions of order and progress, of a chosen people and linear time, fuel oursense that the world is ours to improve, exploit, and even destroy. We need torediscover the wisdom and sanity of less presumptuous ideas of nature -- aprocess that demands a much larger narrative than historians have been writingand telling. Without calling for a return to hunting and gathering, Martinasks if some of what we lost -- or left behind -- in the distant past might bereclaimed and used again. To make peace with the earth. To make peace withourselves.

Screwball Comedies: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Tags: 1930s, 1940s, classic screwball comedies, Feminism, Gender, His Girl Friday, Holiday, I Was a Male War Bride, It Happened One Night, racism, Social Justice, The Philadelphia Story, The Thin Man, violence, Woman of the Year, You Can't Take it With You
The term "screwball comedy" is rumored to come from the baseball term "screwball," describing either an oddball player or any pitched ball that moved in an unusual way—an apt name for a genre that embraces the absurd with zany, free-spirited characters, broad physical comedy and ludicrous events all relayed in a highly farcical nature.
Emerging in the 1930s, a decade defined by the Depression and plagued by a staggering divorce rate, screwballs proved a profitable solution for getting love-wary and cash-strapped audiences back into the theaters.
Unlike conventional romantic comedies, where the focus remains first and foremost on love, screwballs adopted a more relaxed attitude toward romantic couplings that, in some but not all entries, afforded the heroines more agency in their romantic fate. Suddenly romantic love was not a mere means to marriage and baby-making but a thrilling, impassioned adventure that served as its own reward. These films also incorporated physical comedy with fast-paced, bawdy repartee, outrageous antics, and comically volatile clashes of class and gender—in short, a rollicking good time.
Many also featured feisty, independent female protagonists driving the story, a positive step forward indeed. But for all their good, screwballs have their bad elements too, and some are downright ugly. Let's have a look at each:
The Screwball Heroine: This memorable lady was a major boon for feminism. She could be anything from a runaway heiress, to a crack newspaper reporter, to a con woman or, in one case, a factory worker who believes she's dying of radium poisoning. She's fast-talking, impulsive and not afraid to go after what she wants—which in no example that comes to mind ever includes motherhood. Granted, Nora Charles of the THIN MAN series does give birth in the third of six films. However, the kid serves as little more than the occasional set piece, overshadowed by the couple's enthusiasm for each other, ample booze and their beloved dog, Asta.
Equitable Romance: Author Leger Grindon makes an apt point in his book "Romantic Comedy" when he says, "The screwball romances recognized the equality of men and women in love rather than relegating them to separate spheres." While the screwball romance is born of adversarial flirtation, it is less a battle of the sexes than a titillating game of cat and mouse, where both players assume both roles. This immediacy not only allows the characters, and thus the audience, to live in the moment rather than pining for an endgame goal –i.e. marriage—but it also evens the playing field both on and off the screen, which brings us to one of the best qualities of the screwball film.
Broader Audience Appeal: While many, though not all, screwballs are female-driven, the playful balance of power between the sexes prevents them from being labeled "chick flicks." These films weren't designed to appeal exclusively to men or to women, creating a less polarizing effect in audience response.
A few excellent examples that capture these traits especially well include HOLIDAY (1938) and HIS GIRL FRIDAY (1940)
Typical Hollywood Endings: Alas, too many screwballs drop the gender enlightenment ball by the film's end, when the feisty, independent heroine is restored to her proper submissive state, if not in deference to her mate, then to the patriarchy in general. One of the most egregious examples of this trend can be found in WOMAN OF THE YEAR (1942). In it, an unimaginably successful, award-winning, multi-lingual political affairs columnist willingly relinquishes her identity to become a full-time wife to her insecure husband who takes great joy in belittling her as she humiliates herself in failed attempts to cook him a simple breakfast. Shudder.
Violence as a means to subdue women: Screwballs have violent tendencies in a vein not unlike the slapstick of The Three Stooges. And while it's one thing to see a woman slap a man and a man slap her back in in the context of a union of equals where such behavior is not only accepted but expected, it's another thing entirely to have a man backhand a woman to put her in her place, demean her with corporal punishment as if she's a child, or as we see in THE PHILADELPHIA STORY (1940), thrown to the ground for acting out. Similarly, in IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT (1934) Clark Gable's character Peter Warne, the man our heroine chooses to marry, convinces her father he's the man for her by saying, "What she needs is a guy that'd take a sock at her once a day, whether it's coming to her or not." The fact that such things are made light of because it's a "comedy" only adds to the deleterious effect.
Insulting Depictions of Race and the Lower Classes: This one's more a symptom of the era than the specific genre, but it still bears mentioning that screwballs, despite their raised awareness regarding gender equality and arguments for social justice, often depict characters from lower economic classes—especially domestic staff, and most particularly Black domestic staff—as simple-minded, clumsy buffoons. Likewise, there is no shortage of horribly racist language amidst the lightning-fast dialogue which can seriously impair one's enjoyment of some otherwise delightful films, most notably (and painfully, because these films boast so many other wonderful qualities) are YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU (1938) and HIS GIRL FRIDAY.
A Trend Toward Increasing Power Struggles Between the Sexes:
As disturbed as I was by WOMAN OF THE YEAR, I think I was even more perturbed by
I WAS A MALE WAR BRIDE (1949), a remarkably unfunny film where the admittedly sexist pig male love interest is so relentlessly belittled and humiliated by his female mate, it felt more like a revenge flick against the patriarchy than a romantic comedy—which foreshadows trends we'll see next time when we delve into the ultra-polarizing Romantic Comedies of the 50s and 60s. Though historians dub these as "Battle of the Sexes" films, based on many I've watched thus far (and several I've found too painful to finish), I'd be quicker to dub them as horror films. So, brace yourself. Next up from me— "Attack of the Playboys, Virgins & Golddiggers from the (mostly) Terrifying 50s & 60s."

Man who shoved son of Muslim NYPD officer arrested in possible hate crime
Posted: 8:41 PM, Dec 05, 2016
A 36-year-old man was arrested in connection to shoving the son of NYPD Officer Aml Elsokary last week in what authorities described as a hate crime.
Elsokary's son was confronted by Christopher Nelson, who reportedly told Elsokary to, "Go back to your country," according to CNN. Nelson reportedly left the scene before Elsokary, who was off duty at the time, could react, as she never identified herself as an officer.
NBC New York added that Nelson also allegedly told Elsokary, "ISIS (expletive), I will cut your throat."
NYPD officials said that Elsokary is a native-born New Yorker who has been a member of the New York police force for 11 years.
"There are 900 Muslim-Americans serving our city on our police force," New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said at a Monday news conference. "Everyday, they put their lives on the line for all of us. Put their lives on the line for Christians, for Jews, for Hindus, for Muslims, for everyone. I was sick to stomach when I heard that one of our officers was subjected to threats and taunting because of her faith."
Elsokary was recognized by officials for rescuing a family in 2014 from a burning building. She was hospitalized for smoke inhalation for the 2014 incident.
"I became a police officer to show the positive side of being a New Yorker, a Muslim woman that can do this job, that is non biased, help everyone," she said. "I am born and raised here and I am protect you all."
According to NBC New York, Nelson is held on $50,000 bail.


Readers have noted how quiet the blog has been. I confess to its woeful neglect but would point them towards the blog's Facebook page which continues to brim with photographs and factoids of Old Shanghai and lilongs.
I recently spent a few hours going through folder after folder, scanning through my archives of photography work and scattered research tucked away in the dark corners of my laptop, waiting to be put together like a jigsaw puzzle. Some are of neighborhoods that have long been demolished, others in the dismal transition of preparing to be cleared out.
Yet there are some neighborhoods that have persevered, escaping the fickle attention of the district and municipal government. This quiet corner of Kunshan Garden Road (昆山花园路) is one example. Here, a cluster of old European-style villas sit in a row, enveloped by tall trees that provide shade for residents and passersby.
It is not hard to slip through the entrances. Quiet details are woven into every corner of the building, from the gentle sweep of the stair banisters to the elegant mouldings in the ceilings. I've explored these villas many times, a quiet respite from noise and traffic off North Sichuan Lu (四川北路). The old wooden steps would moan quietly under my feet as I made my way to the airy light at the top floor, padding past decades-old cobwebs that cling to damp corners. One time, an old lady emerged from her room, which was essentially her entire home since residents were allocated limited space in each villa. Tucking a small bag under her arm, she moved gingerly down two flights, her white hair bobbing in and out of view, down the spiral column of the stairwell.
This is how I feel with this post after months-long hiatus. A bit creaky, moving in and out of sight, trying to get to a destination amidst the cobwebs. You have to be patient, I may slip in and out sometimes, but you'll see me. I'm back.

Q: How to write equivalent of SQL MERGE statement using Prisma? I have a GraphQL mutation accepting the list of tag for a post. The PostTag model is:
model PostTag {
  id        BigInt          @id @default(autoincrement())

  order     Int
  value     String

  post      Post            @relation(fields: [postId], references: [id])
  postId    BigInt          @map("post_id")

  @@map("post_tag")
}

My REST API is PUT /posts/{postId}/tags which receives the list of tags that is to be updated against a given Post. In this list, some tags could have id which means it is an existing tag item that should be updated. There would be tag items without id means, it should be newly added. And the missing tags against a given post means those tags should be deleted.
I can do this using SQL merge statement. I want to achieve similar result using Prisma. How to do that efficiently using Prisma?

A: As of writing, there's no equivalent to the merge statement. A workaround using two queries would be as follows:

*

*Delete existing PostTag records connected to a specific Post with deleteMany.

*Create new PostTag records from the data received from the API endpoint with createMany.

Preferably, you can wrap query 1 and 2 in a transaction to ensure the database is not in an inconsistent state.
This isn't as optimized as the merge command. If you need the flexibility and performance of that specifically, please consider creating a feature request in the prisma repo mentioning your use case.

A: You can also write your MERGE query as plain SQL using prisma.$exectureRaw
